Hope you are all hanging in there. Whether it’s been a few weeks, or a few months, you’re probably starting to feel the build up of stress and anxiety from staying at home, even if you feel like you’ve turned into a blob. The mental stress of this pandemic alone is enough to wear out your nervous system, let alone the fact that you’re probably also trying to do some combination of: work, study, cook for yourself, clean, shower, maintain relationships, stay informed and possibly live with other people without fighting. It’s a lot! We’re not just “staying home.” We’re actually doing a lot. And that’s why the perfect antidote to “doing” is “being.” When we focus more on being, we can tune in to the present moment, relax our nervous system and activate different parts of the brain that will help us regulate mood and feel calmer. We’re going to get through this moment in time, but it does take extra mental health support. We’ve curated some of our favorite online resources to help you through this week. Some of these are events taking place live online or on Instagram, and others are evergreen resources available whenever you need them: Join a virtual meditation sitting group or a virtual retreat at Spirit Rock. On Instagram: @spirit_rock Find freedom wherever you are with Jack Kornfield. On Instagram: @jack_kornfield Open your heart with Tara Brach.

On Instagram: @uclahealth Join a self compassion seminar with leading self compassion researcher & expert Dr. Kristen Neff Cope with anxiety on Insight Timer. On Instagram @insighttimer There’s also wonderful power in a group of people coming together to meditate or practice mindfulness, especially during a time of crisis. Many meditation teachers and retreat centers are hosting virtual events via Zoom or Instagram and these are great ways to deepen your practice and build on what you’re doing on your own. During confinement, that feeling of community is so special and important to cultivate for yourself in some form. Consider following the teachers, apps and centers shared above on Instagram so that you can tune into their live events and stay updated on their offerings. Many are offering special workshops and sessions specifically around coronavirus, and they announce on Instagram directly.

It’s Saturday, so here we go again taking a fresh look at new music. All picks appear on releases that came out yesterday (June 10). Here we go! Calder Allen/Shine My first pick this week is music from the debut album by Americana singer-songwriter Calder Allen. From his website: At only 19 years of age, Calder Allen is one of the newest rising acts to emerge out of Austin, Texas. Both audibly and lyrically beyond his years, Allen is a prolific singer-songwriter and self-taught guitarist who completed the recording of his first album in August 2021 at none other than the historic Arlyn Studios, shortly followed by his inaugural performance at Austin City Limits Music Festival…A fifth generation Austinite, Calder Allen’s natural ability and love for music is embedded into his DNA; among his music inspirations includes his grandfather Terry Allen, the legendary visual artist, and Buddy Holly Walk of Fame songwriter. His album producer Charlie Sexton, and other prolific artists like Gary Clark Jr., Caamp, Guy Clark and Townes Van Zandt are also impactful influences on Allen’s music. His debut album is titled The Game. Here’s the opener Shine. I really like what I’m hearing here! Vance Joy/Solid Ground Next, I’m turning to Australian singer-songwriter Vance Joy, born James Gabriel Keogh. From his AllMusic bio: Australian singer/songwriter Vance Joy was vaulted into the mainstream when his 2013 single “Riptide” became a massive international hit. His blend of thoughtful indie folk and breezy melodic pop helped both his EP and subsequent debut album, Dream Your Life Away, go multi-platinum. Joy maintained his success throughout the rest of the decade, topping the charts again with his 2018 follow-up Nation of Two. His third album, In Our Own Sweet Time, was released in 2022. Among the 12 tracks is Solid Ground, which Joy co-wrote with Dave Bassett. Pretty enjoyable tune! Nick Mulvey/Another Way To Be Nick Mulvey is an English singer-songwriter who has been active since 2007. From his Apple Music profile: After a successful stint with Portico Quartet — which included a Mercury Prize nomination in 2008, 150 shows worldwide, and signing to Peter Gabriel’s Real World Records — Nick Mulvey set about creating a sound that was both striking and individual, intertwining influences of great musicians such as Nick Drake, Joni Mitchell, and Tom Waits with a variation of African styles, including guitarist Kawele. His solo debut, 2014’s First Mind, landed in the U.K. Top Ten and was also nominated for the Mercury Prize. This brings me to New Mythology, Mulvey’s third and latest album, and Another Way To Be, a song written by him. While it’s not in my core wheelhouse, I like it! Rise Against/The Answer Let’s wrap up this revue with new music by Chicago punk rock band Rise Against. Formed in 1999, the group’s current line-up includes original members Tim McIlrath (lead vocals, rhythm guitar) and Joe Principe (bass, backing vocals), along with Zach Blair (lead guitar, backing vocals) and Brandon Barnes (drums, percussion), who have been with Rise Against since 2007 and 2000, respectively. In April 2001, the group released their debut album The Unraveling. Their fourth album The Sufferer & the Witness brought them first significant chart success in the U.S., reaching no. 10 on the Billboard 200, as well as their first charting album abroad, most notably in Canada where it peaked at no. 5. To date, the group’s catalog includes nine studio albums, two compilations and 10 EPs, among others. Their latest release is an EP titled Nowhere Generation II. Here’s the opener The Answer, credited to the entire band. This nicely rocks! Before wrapping up, following is a Spotify playlist with all of the above and a few additional tunes.

Today, Best of What’s New is hitting a milestone of sorts with its 100th installment. Since the publication of the weekly feature’s inaugural post on March 21, 2020, I’ve covered more than 400 newly released songs. Discovering tunes I sufficiently like can be a challenge, given I’m primarily into the ’60s and ’70s. But I continue to be encouraged it’s still possible to find decent new music, as long as you are willing to look for it. Let’s get to this week’s picks, which all are on albums that were released yesterday (February 18). Gregor Barnett/Driving Through the Night I’d like to kick things off with new music from the debut solo album by Gregor Barnett. He is best known as a co-founder of Philadelphia-based punk band The Menzingers, which has been around since 2006. Here’s an excerpt from Barnett’s bio on the website of his label Epitaph Records: “It was this perfect storm,” says Menzingers guitarist/co-vocalist Gregor Barnett. “The band couldn’t tour, I was going through a really difficult time, and I was stuck at home watching my family struggle with illness and death and hardship. The only thing I could do was write my way through it.”And yet, despite all the turbulence surrounding its creation, there’s something deeply hopeful and reassuring about Don’t Go Throwing Roses In My Grave, Barnett’s debut release under his own name. Written and recorded in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, the collection is a sonic departure from Barnett’s more punk-leaning work with The Menzingers, drawing on the gritty, off-kilter Americana of Tom Waits or Warren Zevon as it faces down loss and doubt in search of relief and redemption. Here’s Driving Through the Night, which like all other tracks on the album was penned by Barnett. I like his sound! The Heavy Hours/Wasting All Our Time The Heavy Hours are an alternative rock band from Cincinnati, Ohio. Here’s more from their website: On the heels of releasing their acclaimed Wildfire EP (2021) in the midst of a global pandemic, The Heavy Hours now return with Gardens, a full-length album that further exemplifies their distinctive strain of warm-hearted, open-armed alternative rock. The Cincinnati, Ohio-based quartet recorded Gardens several years ago, long before the group had management, an agent or a record label in their corner. With money they had collectively saved up, each of the members took a week off of work and set out to record a pocket full of songs at Montrose Recording located on remote farmland in Richmond, Virginia with producer Adrian Olsen (Nate Smith, Foxygen, Futurebirds). Somehow these early studio recordings found their way into the hands of multi GRAMMY award-winning producer/songwriter and Black Keys frontman Dan Auerbach who immediately took a shine to the band and in turn led to organizing a writing session in Nashville, TN, which crafted tracks released on the Wildfire EP. This brings me to Gardens, which according to this mini-documentary was recorded in 2018. Here’s Wasting All Our Time, credited to all four members of the band: Andrew Yorio, Michael Marcagi, Jonathan Todd Moon and Ian Malott. I’m glad The Heavy Hours were finally able to release this great music. Sarah Shook & the Disarmers/Been Lovin’ You Too Long Sarah Shook & the Disarmers are a band around country singer-songwriter Sarah Shook. According to her Apple Music profile, Shook was born in Rochester, New York in 1985. She was raised in a deeply religious household, home schooled, and only allowed to listen to classical or Christian praise music as she grew up. Despite these restrictions, Shook taught herself to play guitar in high school and began writing songs…In 2010, she put together her first band, Sarah Shook & the Devil, who issued an EP in 2013, Seven. By the end of 2013, that band had split, and Shook & the Devil guitarist Eric Peterson started over with the group Sarah Shook & the Dirty Hand, a stopgap project that played live around the Chapel Hill area. Meanwhile, Shook had found a fan in producer and engineer Ian Schreier, who was eager to make a record with her. In 2015, she and Peterson assembled a new band to record with Schreier, which also included Aaron Olivia on bass, Phil Sullivan on pedal steel, and John Howie, Jr. (who is also Shook’s partner) on drums. The new combo, dubbed the Disarmers, cut their debut album live in the studio with Schreier at the controls. Sidelong was self-released in late 2015. Fast-forward about six years and two months to Nightroamer, the third album by Sarah Shook & the Disarmers. All tunes on the record were written by Shook. Here’s Been Lovin’ You Too Long. Goodbye June/Breathe and Attack My last pick for this week is by Goodbye June, a rock band from Nashville, Tenn., formed in 2005. I first featured them in a Best of What’s New installment in December 2021. The group consists of Landon Milbourn (lead vocals), Brandon Qualkenbush (rhythm guitar, bass, backing vocals) and Tyler Baker (lead guitar), who are all cousins. Apple Music describes them as a hard rock band who blend a rootsy sound with big guitars and plenty of strutting style. Their debut album Nor the Wild Music Flow came out in 2012. Breathe and Attack is from their fourth and latest studio album See Where the Night Goes. I said it before, I’ll say it again: This band reminds me of AC/DC. Milbourn has some of that Bon Scott swagger, and their guitar-playing stylistically is pretty similar to the rock & roll band from down under. Check it out! Before I wrap up, here’s a playlist of the above tunes. As usual, I threw in a few others by the featured bands.

I also saw this statement in some of the other reviews I read about the record that was released on Friday, January 21. It’s evident to me the heartland former straight rocker who turned 70 last October has found his sweet spot with roots music. He gradually embraced that style starting with The Lonesome Jubilee from August 1987, which remains one of my favorite Mellencamp records to this day. If you dig his previous records like Plain Spoken (2014) and Sad Clowns & Hillbillies, I think it’s a safe bet you will like his new album – unless perhaps you expect something new. Strictly A One-Eyed Jack was written and produced by Mellencamp at his own Belmont Mall Studios in Bloomington, Ind., notes his website. His 24th studio album, the first with new original songs since the above-mentioned Sad Clowns & Hillbillies, includes three collaborations with Bruce Springsteen. One of the tunes, Wasted Days, was first released as an upfront single on December 10, 2021. I covered it here at the time. Overall, I can hear some musical and lyrical traces from other artists like Bob Dylan, Tom Waits, Steve Earle and Woody Guthrie, and of course Mellencamp’s familiar style, including a raspy voice shaped by more than 50 years of smoking. Let’s take a closer look at some of the songs starting with the opener I Always Lie to Strangers. Like most other tunes on the album, it was solely written by Mellencamp. During an interview with he elaborated on the title: “The average person hears 300 or 400 lies a day and will tell 150 himself and not even know it. ‘Cause you turn the news on, you get lies. You turn advertising on, you get lies. You talk to people, they lie to you. Even as simple as, “How are you doing today?” “I’m doing great.” No, they’re not, but they say it anyway. So it was just that simple of the thought that led to that song.” While I don’t know the source of Mellencamp’s highly inflated-looking stats, I guess his general point is legit. The title of the bluesy I’m A Man That Worries pretty much says it all. Here’s the first verse for illustration: I am a man that worries Worries occupy my brain I’m worried about tomorrow I worry about today I’m worried about the words I’m hearing I’m worried about all this bad news I know it’s a curse That ain’t ever gonna go away So how about some of these collaborative tunes with Springsteen? I’m skipping Wasted Days since as noted above, I already wrote about it previously. Here’s one of the other two tunes: Did You Say Such A Thing. I love the rock feel Springsteen’s guitar-playing adds. As reported by Ultimate Classic Rock, he also plays the solo. Hearing the two sing together sounds pretty cool as well. During the interview, Mellencamp characterized the collaboration as “quite by accident.” He said, “For my entire career I was always like the poor man’s Bruce Springsteen. And Bruce and I have known each other for years…But we did a rainforest thing for Sting…And all of a sudden he was like my big brother, and he treated me like I was his sibling, and I treated him with respect. And then we became really good friends, and it just kind of happened. He came to Indiana, he stayed at the house. It was great.” If only all accidents would have such great outcomes! Gone So Soon surprised me a bit with its jazzy feel. I suppose this proves that while John Mellencamp clearly has become a roots-oriented artist, he isn’t a one-trick pony. Based on credits available on Discogs, the great piano part of this tune is played by Troye Kinnett, while Joey Tartell provides the beautiful trumpet solo. I also love the backing vocals by Merritt Lear. It all gets perfectly complemented with Mellencamp’s rough vocals. Check it out – very moody! Here’s the title track. When asked, ‘Who is the one-eyed Jack to you?’, during the interview, Mellencamp explained, “You can’t write about yourself all the time. But I have grown to be a good observer and good listener, so I hear what other people think and what people say. Then I’m open to suggestions, which means that sometimes I’ll be doing something and a voice in my head will go, “Well, you better write this down.” And I think, “Ah, f**k I’m painting, I don’t want to write this down.” And I’m like, “You need to write this down, John.” And that happened quite a bit with this record.” BTW, that one-eyed Jack portrait of Mellencamp was painted by Speck Mellencamp, his younger son with his ex-wife, the model Elaine Irwin. John Mellencamp is an avid painter as well. His artwork has been exhibited numerous times, including at museums like the Tennessee State Museum in Nashville and the Butler Institute of American Art in Youngstown, Ohio. The final track I’d like to highlight is the album’s closer. A Life Full Of Rain is another collaborative recording with Springsteen. Unlike the two other songs, this tune is on the quieter side. Lyrically, it’s yet another not exactly cheerful song. Following is how Mellencamp summed up the album to “I’m not for everyone anymore. I was someplace the other night and some guy came up to me and he said, “You know, music is just not the same.”And he said, “It’s just not the same. And there’s not any good songwriters anymore.” And I went, “Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.” I go, “Wait a minute. Have you heard my last record?” [Mellencamp clearly doesn’t lack self-confidence, though I agree with him – CMM] He goes, “No.” I go, “Have you heard Bruce’s last record?” He goes, “No”. I go, “Have you heard Dylan’s last record?” He went, “No.” I go, “Have you heard Woody Guthrie’s last record?” He said, “No.” I said, “Maybe there’s still music out there. You’re just not listening. There’s the problem. You’re not listening. It’s still being made. It’s still out there, but you’re just not listening. You grew up. Too bad for you.” I don’t want to wrap up this review without acknowledging the other musicians on the album, who do a beautiful job: Music director Andy York (acoustic and electric guitar, autoharp, banjo, bass, backing vocals), Mike Wanchic (electric guitar, backing vocals), Miriam Sturm (violin), Jon Gunnell (bass) and Dane Clark (drums, percussion) – the same musicians who backed up Mellencamp on his two previous albums. In fact, Sturm has played on all of his records since Mr. Happy Go Lucky from September 1996. York and especially Wanchic go back with Mellencamp even further. For York, it’s until Dance Naked, Mellencamp’s 13th studio album that appeared in June 1994. And for Wanchic the oldest Mellencamp album I could verify is Uh-huh from October 1983. These are remarkable long-term relationships in an ego-driven industry that’s notorious for volatility.

All featured tracks in this post appear on releases that came out yesterday (September 24). Without further ado, let’s get to it! Third Eye Blind/Goodbye to the Day of Ladies and Gentlemen Third Eye Blind are an alternative rock band founded in San Francisco in 1993. In the early 1990s, singer-songwriter and guitarist Stephan Jenkins set out to start the group. He worked on early material with bassist Jason Slater that resulted in the band’s first demo. In their early years, Third Eye Blind experienced frequent line-up changes. After Slater’s departure, guitarist Kevin Cadogan joined with whom Jenkins developed a songwriting partnership. In June 1996, the group signed with Elektra Records. Despite significant challenges, Third Eye Blind’s eponymous debut album finally appeared in April 1997. It reached no. 25 in the U.S. on the Billboard 200, also charted in Canada, Australia and New Zealand, and has sold more than six million copies, becoming the band’s best-selling album to date. Third Blind Eye have since since released six additional records including their latest, Our Bande Apart. Here’s the nice opener Goodbye to the Day of Ladies and Gentlemen penned by Jenkins who also wrote or co-wrote all of the album’s remaining tracks. Jesse Malin/Greener Pastures Singer-songwriter and guitarist Jesse Malin started his career in 1980 when he was only 12 years old as frontman of New York hardcore group Heart Attack. In 1991, he co-founded D Generation, a glam punk band, in which he continues to perform as lead vocalist to this day. After the group’s break-up in 1999 (they reunited in 2011), Malin launched a solo career. Influenced by Neil Young, Steve Earle and Tom Waits, he changed his sound. His solo debut The Fine Art of Self-Destruction first came out in the UK in October 2002 before it appeared in the U.S. in January 2003. Eight additional solo albums by Malin have since been released. Here’s Greener Pastures, a beautiful tune from Malin’s new Americana-oriented album Sad and Beautiful World. Mac McCaughan/The Sound of Yourself According to his profile on Apple Music, Mac McCaughan wears multiple hats. He is a co-founder of the seminal indie band Superchunk, founder and leader of Portastatic, a former member of Seam and Go Back Snowball, and co-owner of Merge Records, one of America’s most successful and influential independent labels. Despite his success, McCaughan has strayed little from his punk rock principles in terms of both music and business, and after more than 25 years of making records, he opted to launch a belated solo career in 2015 with the release of the synthy Non-Believers...While Superchunk continued releasing albums of the high-energy fuzz pop they were known for, McCaughan furthered his deepening fascination with synth sounds, collaborating with ambient harpist Mary Lattimore on a series of improvisations that was released in 2019 as the New Rain Duets album by the Three Lobed label. This brings me to his latest solo release, The Sound of Yourself. Here’s the title track. I like it! Ringo Starr/Let’s Change the World Only six months after Zoom In, Ringo Starr is out with another EP, Change the World. Of course, I couldn’t ignore it! Just like the previous EP, the four tracks were recorded at Starr’s Roccabella West studio, according to a recent announcement on his website. “I’ve been saying I only want to release EPs at this point and this is the next one,” he commented. “What a blessing it’s been during this year to have a studio here at home and be able to collaborate with so many great musicians, some I’ve worked with before and some new friends.” Guest artists include Joseph Williams and Steve Lukather, both from Toto, as well as Joe Walsh and Nathan East, among others. Here’s the title track co-written by Williams and Lukather. Backing vocals were provided by Amy Keys, Zelma Davis, Billy Valentine and Darryl Phinnessee. Let’s Change the World perfectly fits the hope and optimism Ringo Starr continues to radiate at age 81 – I just love the man!

Pretty much anything is fair game as long as I like it. In general, I also aim to make these posts a bit eclectic. This installment includes beautiful new age style harp music (a first!), soulful blues, country rock, pop, pop rock and edgy garage rock. Andreas Vollenweider/Behind the Gardens, Behind the Wall, Under the Tree… Andreas Vollenweider is a harpist from Zurich, Switzerland. His instrument is no ordinary harp but an electro-acoustic harp he created. A New York Times article from October 1984 characterized his music as “swirling atmospheric”, evoking “nature, magic and fairy tales.” This story appeared ahead of Vollenweider’s U.S. tour debut at the Beacon Theatre in New York City in October of the same year. According to Wikipedia, he was introduced by Carly Simon who had come across his music the previous year. Vollenweider ended up collaborating with Simon 10 years later on his first album to include vocals. He also has worked with Luciano Pavarotti, Bryan Adams and Bobby McFerrin, among others. Behind the Gardens, Behind the Wall, Under the Tree… is the title track of Vollenweider’s second studio album from 1981. To date, he has released 13 additional albums. Until the other day when I randomly remembered his name, I had completely forgotten about Vollenweider and his beautiful and relaxing music. It’s perfect to kick off a Sunday morning. Chicken Shack/I’d Rather Go Blind My dear longtime friend and music connoisseur from Germany pointed me to this beautiful song recently. Coincidentally, around the same time, Music Enthusiast mentioned the band Chicken Shack in an installment of his previous four-part series about Fleetwood Mac’s middle period. So what’s the connection between Chicken Shack and the Mac you might ask? Christine Perfect (later Christine McVie) who sang lead and played keyboards in Chicken Shack before recording her eponymous solo album Christine Perfect and joining Fleetwood Mac in late 1970. Chicken Shack released I’d Rather Go Blind as a single in 1969, scoring a no. 14 on the British charts. Written by Ellington Jordan, the tune was first recorded by Etta James in 1967 and appeared on her seventh studio album Tell Mama from February 1968. Perfect’s vocals on Chicken Shack’s cover are – well – just perfect! BTW, Chicken Shack are still around, with the current lineup including founding member Stan Webb (guitar, vocals). Blue Rodeo/Hasn’t Hit Me Yet Canadian country rock band Blue Rodeo were founded in 1984 in Toronto. They were formed by high school friends Jim Cuddy (vocals, guitar) and Greg Keelor (vocals, guitar), who had played together in various bands before, and Bob Wiseman (keyboards). Cleave Anderson (drums) and Bazil Donovan (bass) completed the band’s initial lineup. After gaining a local following in Toronto and signing with Canadian independent record label Risque Disque, the group released their debut album Outskirts in March 1987. They have since released 14 additional studio albums, the most recent of which, 1000 Arms, came out in October 2016. Blue Rodeo have enjoyed significant success in Canada. Hasn’t Hit Me Yet was co-written by Keelor and Cuddy who together with Donovan are part of Blue Rodeo’s current lineup. The tune is included on the band’s fifth studio album Five Days in July from October 1993, their best-selling record in Canada to date. Bruce Hornsby & The Range/The Way It Is The debut album by American singer-songwriter and pianist Bruce Hornsby with his backing band The Range quickly became one of my favorites when it came out in September 1986. After I hadn’t touched it in many years, I listened to it again about a week ago – turns out I still like it. Hornsby went on to record two additional albums with The Range. His fourth studio album Harbor Lights from April 1993 was the first solely credited to him. Four additional solo albums and four albums with his touring band The Noisemakers have since come out. Hornsby also was a touring member of the Grateful Dead in the early ’90s and has collaborated with numerous other artists. After his first two albums with The Range, Hornsby had dropped off my radar screen. Here’s the title track of his debut. Both the album and the tune enjoyed major international chart success. Not hard to understand way – it’s pretty catchy pop. Rainbirds/Blueprint For some reason, the above Chicken Shack tune trigged my memory of German pop rock band Rainbirds. Other than the fact that both tunes feature female vocalists, they really don’t have anything in common – funny how the brain sometimes works! The group around singer-songwriter Katharina Franck, which was formed in Berlin in 1986 and named after a Tom Waits instrumental, enjoyed significant success in Germany with their first two albums. After the band dissolved in 1999 and Franck pursued a solo career, Franck reformed the group in 2013 with a new lineup. Another album appeared the following year. While Rainbirds haven’t released new music since, the group still appears to exist. Blueprint, co-written by Franck (guitar, vocals) and fellow band members Michael Beckmann (bass) and Wolfgang Glum (drums), is from Rainbirds’ eponymous debut album released in January 1987. The Kinks/All Day and All of the Night I felt this Sunday Six needed a dose of real rock. The Kinks and All Day and All of the Night looked like a great choice. I love the raw sound, which is very much reminiscent of You Really Got Me, the band’s third single from August 1964 and their first no. 1 in the UK. Written by Ray Davies, All Day and All of the Night came out in October of the same year. It almost matched the success of You Really Got Me, climbing to no. 2 on the British charts. In the U.S., both tunes peaked at no. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100. Oh, get ’em hard!

While Kate Jackson, Farrah Fawcett and Jaclyn Smith became well-known actresses, I don’t believe their talents included singing. And if they did, I doubt it was anywhere as close as the angelic harmony singing of The Jersey Angels, a pop-oriented country duo I saw Friday night when they performed backing vocals for an excellent Neil Young tribute band. According to their website, The Jersey Angels are Annie and Gianna. Both grew up in the Garden State and are childhood friends. They got together in 2015 and have performed live since November that year. In addition to their impressive vocals, each is also a musician. Annie is playing the violin while Gianna is a guitarist. As a (mostly former) hobby guitarist and bassist, that’s something I like. The ladies also write their own songs. And, as Annie confirmed to me, they’re doing all of this while having “full-time jobs and tons of other obligations.” The Jersey Angels (from left): Annie & Gianna Roots is The Jersey Angels’ debut album, which appeared in March 2018. Frequent visitors of the blog may be surprised that I’m writing about a country duo when my core wheelhouse is ’60s and ’70s classic rock and blues. While that hasn’t changed, my music taste is more eclectic than it may seem. At the end of the day, what I truly care about is whether music speaks to me, not the genre. And these two ladies simply sound great to me! Time for some music. Let’s kick it off with the opener Hick At Heart. Next up: The album’s title track. Appropriately, the record also has a tune called Jersey Girls. And why not? After all, Tom Waits wrote a song about a Jersey Girl in 1980, though his delivery was slightly less angelic. And let’s not forget about another music artist from the Garden State, who did a great cover of that song. His name? Of course, you probably already knew: Bruce Springsteen. The last tune I’d like to call out is a beautiful picker-upper called Albatross. Roots is available on Amazon and iTunes. As I was listening to the album, I could picture Cheryl Crow singing some of the songs. And, call me crazy, the combination of acoustic guitar and violin also reminded me a bit of John Mellencamp, though similar to Tom Waits it would be a quite a different vocal sound.

Heidi Pratt [Montag] has responded after her sister-in-law Stephanie Pratt revealed that she no longer speaks to her brother Spencer or Heidi and no longer considers them family in a scathing rant on her podcast. “It’s been a really hard week for me,” Heidi said on the Monday episode of her and husband Spencer Pratt‘s podcast Make Speidi Famous Again. She added, without mentioning Stephanie by name, “I had a lot of on-Hills drama with a family member and that was very challenging and heartbreaking.” She continued, “I felt like there were some very below-the-belt, nasty comments that weren’t even true.” Heidi then revealed that she tried to reach out to Stephanie to smooth things over, but Stephanie wasn’t receptive. “I was just like, ‘Hey, yeah, let’s give it some time and I’d love to move forward.’ Then the person didn’t even message me and was, like, subtweeting me. So, it was live, ‘You obviously don’t want to make amends.’” When Stephanie didn’t respond and continued to slam Spencer and Heidi, she said she had to stand up for herself and her husband. “You do need to have boundaries. Family, not family, friends… There’s no way I’m not standing up for myself and my family.” Spencer, 35, echoed his wife’s sentiments saying, “Heidi’s not playing.” “If you think you’re gonna walk on my sweet little angel, you have something coming your way,” Spencer added. The feud emerged earlier this week when Stephanie Pratt opened up on her own podcast with Bachelor Nation’s Wells Adams. “We are not on good terms. We are not on speaking terms. I do not consider them my family,” said Stephanie, who has been filming the upcoming Hills reboot The Hills: New Beginnings with her brother and sister-in-law. While opening up about personal drama which included Spencer and Stephanie’s parents, she also added, “I’m not going to pretend that Spencer and Heidi are good people like I was doing for most of the series for my parents. For the [expletive] they have done to me recently, I’m done. This is why I moved to London. I’m done.” She continued, “They are the most toxic people I’ve ever met. They are Bonnie and Clyde till they die so if they say this sky is black, all of us are morons for saying it’s blue.” Listen to the full episode of Pratt Cast on iHeartRadio now and catch The Hills New Beginnings when it premieres on June 24 on MTV.

July 22, 2013 in Blog tagged ashley chapman / conservation / food / health / lion fish / ren chapman / spearfishing by Ashley Chapman Invasive. Likely the only word that comes to mind when you think of the lionfish. Originally indigenous to the Pacific and Indian Oceans, Ren and I have witnessed their presence as far reaching as the NC coast, our stomping grounds, down to the Bahamas, over to Honduras, Belize, South Florida, all throughout the Caribbean. The invasive red lionfish (Pterois volitans), 97% are red the rest are devil firefish, has caused much trepidation for biologists, fishermen and spearos alike. Although there is one published account of a Bahamian grouper feeding on a lionfish, failed feeding trials suggest that the lionfish have no native predators. This could change over time if the lionfish population continues to flourish and prey for native species diminishes due to negative impacts from the lionfish. Stranger things have happened than one species learning to eat another. Lionfish eat from coral reef. Identified prey includes: fairy basslet, bridled cardinalfish, white grunt, bicolor damselfish, wrasses, striped parrotfish, dusky blenny, Nassau grouper, and yellow tail snapper. Initial work looking at crustacean prey suggests that lionfish may also eat the juvenile spiny lobster (Panulirus argus), which means big problems for places with a history of commercial spiny lobster fishing. Lionfish are also cannibalistic. With ever increasing numbers and as the lionfish becomes more ubiquitous, we must evolve as the best natural predator to the lionfish. And what a perfect predator we are. As Ren and I travel around on Nila Girl, our 35′ Pearson sailing vessel, we find lionfish in virtually every port of call, which makes it a really reliable source of protein. At first we did what any predator would do when face to face with a poisonous species, we stayed away from the fish. The red lionfish is covered with venomous dorsal, pectoral, and anal spines. He has greatly elongated dorsal fin spines (11 dorsal and 7 anal spines); the membranes of all fins are spotted in color. When these spines penetrate a potential enemy of the fish, the poisonous mucus is injected and the side effects begin. The sensation of the lionfish sting (I know this because I had to wipe poor Ren’s tears away one beautiful afternoon after being hit by one) is like being stung by the biggest wasp you can imagine…well…probably not that big. If this happens to you, stick the affected appendage in the hottest water you can tolerate and wait. It’s that easy, you hope anyway. Ren spearing a red lionfish in the Bahamas. With careful hunting the lionfish makes easy and delicious table fare. Once speared you must “lip” the fish like a bass, taking care not to let the beautiful work of art slide it’s way back down your spear, spearing you in the process. Take control, lip the fish, then use a pair of sharp scissors to cut away the spines. After the spines are cut away, it is safe to move in and brain the poor beast, putting it out of any misery you have caused it. Here’s where things get interesting…in the kitchen (or galley). The lionfish has quickly become one of my favorite fish for the table. It’s delicate and mild tasting meat make perfect ceviche and carpaccio (for recipes refer to the Gourmet Galley on our Nila Girl website, not yet posted though). Only when making the raw platter as mentioned above do we fillet the fish. The fish are typically on the smaller side and are best enjoyed by cooking in a pan, whole. Cooking the fish whole yields the most meat. This goes for any fish you harvest, by the way. Now’s your chance. Do something great for the environment of the Caribbean and eastern US seaboard while doing something good for your body and taste buds. Eat lionfish. No more slaughtering them for sport. Always, always, always eat what you kill or choose not to kill at all. The lionfish did not invade our waters on it’s own. It was introduced by humans, probably predominately from aquarium releases. The problem is our fault and the lionfish deserves the same respect as any other living creature. But do enjoy…because I will!

...replied to our questions! I'm not going to comment on them too much now because I want you to get to read them first. I'm so relieved this came to fruition. Did ya keep the faith? ------------------------- My editor accuses me of being a terrible deadliner--to this I have to say guilty as charged. I've also been known to carry important documents around far too long, since about May 22, I think. So, now, finally I want to say thank to everyone who contributed tothis Q&A. Some of you I've already met at the reading/signing at Housing Works, and some I know contribute to the online forums and fanblogs. I'm grateful for the interest and support you've given my family and me. I have to admit, as I watch all this interest unfold around me, though, particularly around my kids, I'm often driven to ask, what about each of you? Everyone of us deserves attention. Lots of attention. Each of us deserves our own Q&A. This is one of mine, I guess, though the concept that I really have any answers feels illusory. Alaina (NY): You are best known for directing feature films. What was the motivation behind publishing a collection of poetry? Stephen Gyllenhaal: I'd had some poems published in some good literary journals for about three years and I was already surprised and pleased that anyone would want any of my stuff in the first place. Then when a couple of editors in New York read some work I had submitted to a literary journal they worked for and asked if I had more poems to make into a book, I was flattered by their attention and I thought, Let's see where this goes. I'd also say that I never started writing with the intention of getting published. In fact, it was the furthest thing from my mind. I was a bit embarassed about writing poetry, to be honest. It was one ofthe few places in my life where I wasn't trying to show off. For along time it was just an extension of journaling, keeping a diary, almost. But over the years (after friends and family suggested it) I began to circle the idea warily of sending some of my poems out. Then one day I just took a deep breath about three years ago and began sending them out to journals and periodicals. Anneka (Wales UK): How long have you been accumulating your collection? Is there more to come? SG: I've been writing poetry, on and off, for about thirty years, but really didn't take it seriously until about ten years ago. Then I actually started finishing poems and putting them in drawers, or when I felt good about them, giving them to friends as birthday or anniversary presents, like Emily Dickinson did. Then I would start to write poems specifically for certain people. Portraits. And sometimes I'd just write to let off some steam, I'm sure you can all relate to that. And yes, there's more to come. Maxine (London UK): Considering the title of your collection and having read some passages, is it deliberately aimed as a knock at Hollywood life? SG: I guess I'm inclined to be wary of almost everything in my life. And also curious. Hollywood is and has been a stimulating place to work. But it's also a place my editor calls a city of illusions. Those are the kind of illusions that can destroy your spirit and your will to do the best work you can. And Claptrap has a couple of meanings for me, I guess. It means of collection of junk, or stuff. And I guess I like that as a description of the poems here. It always seems dangerous to take yourself too seriously. And also, I guess the trap of wanting someone to clap for you. A pretty dangerous place to find yourself (I've been there)...you then lose track of who you are, what you are. You're using other people to help you define yourself. I guess that's what worries me about so much of Hollywood (so much of the culture of the US--the rest of the world too, actually)...the idea that when someone recognizes you, claps for you, you're OK. But you're only OK if that's taking place inside of you. With yourself. Not outside. Sherry (USA): Are the poems in your collection mostly spoken by aversion of yourself or are they sometimes written through different personae? SG: So far it's pretty much just my voice. But this process of writing is intriguing. I'm sure it's true for a lot of you out there too. It's a journey. I think I've often been too wrapped up in myself--looking out at other people is more and more interesting to me. Right now there are a couple of poems that look at other people. Maybe in the future, I'll take that a step further and use some other people's voices. We'll see. Susie (Manchester, UK) and Amy (NY): I read in an article regarding your education that the Romantics were influential to you. What was it about them in particular and who are your other influences, literary or otherwise? SG: The Romantics were anti-Rationalists. They believed that by really listening to your emotions you could find the common threads that bind all human beings together. My background having been formed in what you might call an over-rational environment, I guess you might say this was my kind of rebellion. Adriana (Romania): What would you define as the American literary canon? SG: The kind of literature that binds us together as citizens of the same country. This was certainly easier to define in the 19th century,when there where only a few places Americans emigrated from and which had more in common with each other than they do today. But all the writers they taught us in high school, certainly, they are part of the canon. Dickinson, who I mentioned earlier, and Whitman, and Poe, and of course Mark Twain, Emerson, Thoreau, novelists like Wharton and James, Fitzgerald, Saul Bellow, playwrights like Eugene O'Neill and Tennessee Williams... I think there is a literary canon forming today, but I think you're going to find it in other, new places, like in song lyrics and even screenplays. But as I've stumbled into poetry over the years I find there's something inexplicable about it, something inexplicable in all of us that it circles. And finally, I'd be wary of words like canon (the Romantics would've worried about that word). Also, I have a poem called Canon (which, come to think of it, is a bit of someone else's voice, sort of). In that case Canon, is joking around with "cannon." Jokes are good. Anonymous: Do you feel poetry is becoming a lost art form? Why do you choose this particular form of expression? SG: Poetry is anything but lost! As I said above, you're going to find it in new places like popular song lyrics. In rap. Rap is amazing.I'm often dazzled by rap. The origins of my poems are the same origins of my work in films--I'm pulled into a scene in my head (often foggy)and do my best to to somehow capture it. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't. I'm sure a lot of you can relate to that. The one thing I guess I've been growing aware of recently is that I've learned (as I've been kicked around by life) that some things are better thrown away and some things are really worth working on. Sometimes a poem (ora screenplay/or a movie) takes years to get right. Daniella (New Jersey): Writers seem to have a certain location or time of day when ideas come easiest to them and work is most enjoyable. Doyou have any writing routines? SG: Writing in the morning. Often very early. Coming out of dreams. I have come to believe that dreams are profoundly important. Profoundly. That Freud was starting to figure out some important things. The Greeks, etc, knew about dreams before, but Freud began to pull dreams into the modern world. The modern world could do with a lot more dreams. So for me the morning is best. Surroundings don't seem to influence me much. I've written and rewritten anywhere. I try to write stuff down when it comes. Like catching fish. If I don't hook them at the time they bite, they sometimes escape. britpopbaby: I always have difficulty titling my work because it feels like I'm trying to summarise my work in a few words and also feels so final when I'm never completely satisfied. Do you have a similar problem? and What are your greatest obstacles when writing? SG: To answer the first part of your first question, if you'll see each of my poems and how their titles relate to each of them, you'll notice that the title is actually part of the poem. Part of the story, the wholeness of the poem. Not a summation. I guess you could consider some of these titles ironic, kind of a twist on a meaning or perspective. Even a hidden meaning maybe. Think of Crescent Moon or The Enron in My Face. But honestly? They just sort of come to me. Why do they just come to me? Why has it gotten easier as I've gotten older (although I don't think age has anything to do with it--some of the greatest writers were very young)...but for me I think finding titles has gotten easier because I've been knocked around a lot. I don't really give a shit about a lot of things anymore. (I used to worry about so much when I was younger that it just paralyzed me a lot. I had to be perfect. That idea is long gone.) But who cares really anyway? Besides, we each have to wander through this process in our own way, (and not just writing, but living and you'd have to say you can't do one without the other; and I've also found it's the other way around for me too.) And each and everyone of us is miraculous. That's what bothers me so much about almost everything I see in this culture. For instance with my kids and even these questions (to some degree). Each of you is a miraculous creature. Everyone is. Dreaming and scheming and trying to sort out life? And then we go and kill each other for some stupid piece of dirt. Or for gold. Or for a religion (that's the weirdest of all to me). We should be celebrating ourselves (Whitman certainly was into that). And that goes for each of you--it might be intriguing that each of you tries to answer the questions you've given to me. You might find that your answers are far more insightful than what I'm coming up with. Nonetheless, let's keep going.... Lee: What advice would you give to aspiring writers? SG: I think I just gave it. Prophecy Girl (Tennessee): I interpreted your poem "Land of the Free" as an expression of your disillusionment with the American cultural and political landscape. Is this an accurate understanding? SG: I guess. I also liked the words. I find half the time poetry leads me. I don't really know where the poems are going half the time. I just have an ache, I guess. Or sort of growing pain, something is being demanded to grow. I try to stay out its way. One way to stay out of the way is not try to inerpret what ends up on the page I've confronted. I did the best I could with what's there. I don't mind if others try to figure out what it means, though. Ally (iheartjake), Karen, and Ursula (Sri Lanka): Which special interest groups do you support? Will you get involved in the 2008 presidential election campaign? SG: It's funny. I never would have thought this, but poetry seems to be pushing me towards politics. To be honest, I've never really been all that involved (some of what you may have read about me at least repolitics is hyped). My wife has been the political one in the family and I've kind of bumped along with her. But that seems to be changing. I wrote a piece for The Huffington Post because I was so enraged by the Bush Adminstration floating the idea that they might use nuclear weapons against Iran. It's insane. Many political leaders now (and through history) have been absolutely insane. I am not remotely comfortable with what's going on in this country right now. And then there's "An Inconvenient Truth"--I recommend you all go see it. Or get the DVD when it comes out. The planet you live on is the hands of crazy people. The poetry that exists inside each of us (the rhymes and rhythms in our bodies) tells us how crazy these people are as easily as we breathe. So, yes, I suspect I'll be involved in the presidential elections and in other political fights that will be coming down the pike as well. We'll see how much. Gayle S. Stever, Ph.D. (Arizona State University) and James (LosAngeles): We have noted the invasion of the paparazzi into yourprivate family life in an escalating fashion of late. To what extent does living somewhat in the public eye affect you? SG: It affects us. It's sad. People will discover much more interesting things when they turn their cameras (and thoughts) on the people in their own lives, the people they know. The people they personally love. The people they personally hate. The people in-between. The rest of this is just an excuse for avoiding that far more interesting world. The world of their own lives. Anonymous: We've heard you play the viola and enjoy listening to Eminem. What else do you do to relax? SG: What do you do? Carina (Stockholm) and Katarina (Sweden): Since you have a very interesting Swedish heritage have you or have you ever considered travelling to Sweden to discover more about your ancestors? SG: I've always wanted to go. I don't know why I haven't. But hopefully I will in the future. We'll see. britpopbaby: Finally, are there any continuing themes or messages in your poetry? What do you want readers to take away from your collection? SG: They should take away what ever they want, don't you think? When I really concentrate, a word like "theme" confuses me. Most of those important words confuse me. I can't even say I'm terribly clear when I'm writing. Slowly, though, something does seem to come into focus and that's quite miraculous. But even the confusion is miraculous, so go figure. It's just plain miraculous to be alive, isn't it? Well, what do we think? I'm thinking we should answer these questions ourselves and send them back to Stephen? I'll just say now that I can't remember exactly which questions I attributed to whom and I think some of them may have been mixed up. I tried to get a global vibe when I submitted these and I also condensed some questions together. ALSO: Please don't post this interview or even parts of it anywhere else on the net until August 4th. That is the agreement I have with Stephen and his publisher Cantara. On Aug 4th it will be posted at but until then please respect that it is a JW exclusive. Unfortunately I can't stamp across it.

I had to read through the answers pretty fast since I'm in a bit of a hurry at the moment, but I really enjoyed his answers.

We truly appreciate it! /Carina 9:34 AM GMT+1 mrs_dalloway said... I can't believe how intense is this man's view about life itself!It always reffers to it as a miracle, in the questions and in his poems. Thank you so much for answering them with honesty and warmth..it is truly inspiring.(Adriana) 9:49 AM GMT+1 Elena W said... Very interesting questions from you all -sensibly Bpb's ones- and so brainy and funny responses by Stephen that I'm not surprised he took so much time, he really needed it to convey his reasons appropriately. "Literally" it's a new victory for JW team :) 9:52 AM GMT+1 zoo said... Papa, you make so much sense in everything you say. I'm delighted you did this for us. Thank you very very much for taking the time and trouble to answer us so honestly and thoughtfully and thoroughly. Brit, I liked your question about titles. I remembe Martin Amis talking about how he chose the title London Fields, and he gave an interesting answer not totally dissimilar to Stephen's. It's funny, cos my question wasn't specifically asked, but I feel he sort of did while answering your question. I can really empathise with being paralysed by caring too much and really starting to live when you start not giving a shit (or when you start being able to make the distinction between what is truly worth giving a shit about and what isn't. It's never the stuff you thought in the first place.). I felt real empathy with him as I was reading that. What a great way to beat the Monday blues. 9:57 AM GMT+1 Jess said... Wow. What an amazing man he is! Such an inspiration to us all. Loved his answers. So honest, personal, and interesting. What I love the most is his view on life. Wonderful. 10:03 AM GMT+1 Anonymous said... Brilliant!! Wonderful answers. Q: We have noted the invasion of the paparazzi into your private family life in an escalating fashion of late. To what extent does living somewhat in the public eye affect you? SG: It affects us. It's sad. Doesn't this interview, as well as all those good things we know and love about Jake, just make you want to stand up and defend them all against the nasty paps, gossipmongers and badmouthers out there? Not wanting to get into a debate here about those who choose careers that put them in the public eye, just expressing the warm sappy feeling that I get regarding all the Gyllenhaals as a result of being part of the JW community. Jake, you have a great papa, and we love you both! 10:42 AM GMT+1 Anonymous said... This is a wonderful interview. Great selection of questions. Thanks for doing this to you both. 11:14 AM GMT+1 britpopbaby said... I know, elle. It's conflicting. Here is Stephen saying media intrusion effects him and his family but it is Hollywood, the place he lives, that is responsible. I've always viewed Hollywood as a place of business not creativity. Actors are sold to us much in the same way films are and we lap it all up. L'oreal tells us we should look like Scarlett Johnanson, J-Lo tells us we should smell like her. It's damned - I blame capitalism. I have more to say on this but my cat is crying for some reason and I can't concentrate. 11:23 AM GMT+1 Anonymous said... What a wonderfully insightful O&A! It just reminds me even more why I respect and admire people such as the Gyllenhaals so much. Thank you very much to Mr. Gyllenhaal for answering these questions - he puts many things into perspective, and voices many of my concerns and beliefs in better words than I ever could. I especially could relate to these quotes: People will discover much more interesting things when they turn their cameras (and thoughts) on the people in their own lives, the people they know. The people they personally love. The people they personally hate. The people in-between. The rest of this is just an excuse for avoiding that far more interesting world. The world of their own lives. How incredibly true! People in general are much too focused on things that don't really matter, and especially today, this rings true. I really wish everyone thought like this, then maybe we would live in a better world. Oh well, at least we can make a start. And this, too: And each and everyone of us is miraculous. That's what bothers me so much about almost everything I see in this culture. For instance with my kids and even these questions (to some degree). Each of you is a miraculous creature. Everyone is. Dreaming and scheming and trying to sort out life? And then we go and kill each other for some stupid piece of dirt. Or for gold. Or for a religion (that's the weirdest of all to me). We should be celebrating ourselves (Whitman certainly was into that). And that goes for each of you--it might be intriguing that each of you tries to answer the questions you've given to me. Wise words! I agree with that so much - you see all these terrorist attacks, people blowing each other up, and it really makes me wonder... is that how much we value life? It's such a wonderful, miraculous thing, and should be cherished, not dismissed like it's a worthless piece of rubbish. Living, breathing, thinking people, each with their own dreams and loves and everything else, each an amazing being, yet nobody seems to care anymore. Apologies for the little rant, but this Q&A has brought out some strong feelings in me, and I'm sure many others can relate. Once again, thank you very much to Mr. Gyllenhaal, and I wish he and his family all the best in life. God, we need more people like them! 11:28 AM GMT+1 mrs_dalloway said... Those are the kind of illusions that can destroy your spirit and your will to do the best work you can.It always seems dangerous to take yourself too seriously. And also, I guess the trap of wanting someone to clap for you. A pretty dangerous place to find yourself (I've been there)...you then lose track of who you are, what you are. You're using other people to help you define yourself. Him and his family actually living there for so long makes dealing with the entire thing more easily,as they have probably got to know the scam by now.He speaks about it with a certain wisdom that can be given by a distance put between him and that bad part about Hollywood. When you are aware of the traps,it's easier to avoid and to handle them. Something makes sense now..I have been wondering how can Jake handle all the pressure,all the media,all the paps and people screaming at his appearance..and the answer is pretty clear now. It's education in the Hollywood environment,with wise and beautiful parents..the 'survivors' in the industry. 11:49 AM GMT+1 Anna said... Wow. I'm amazed by the man and by the very personal answers to these questions. I admire people who say what they feel, and stand up for their opinions. This seems to be a trait with the Gyllenhaals. Truly a family worth our admiration. And I'm so glad I got the book! 12:13 PM GMT+1 Anonymous said... Thanks Papa G! What a kind and thoughtful man. I particularly liked his response to the paparazzi question. And what a fine selection of questions they were. 12:26 PM GMT+1 Anonymous said... I can RELATE so intensely to so much of what he said. That intrigues and inspires me. Thank you!! 12:54 PM GMT+1 Linna said... WOW!! I'm impressed! Both by the questions and the answers Gyllendaddy truly sounds like an amazing man in so many ways. I'm touched by the answers. Thanks to everyone who made this Q&A happen! :) 1:08 PM GMT+1 Anonymous said... Stephen is a very intelligent, inspiring man! I agree with so much he says. Though I do feel that contradictive vibe someone else was talking about. He comments Hollywood and fame and people falling for that illusion, and what he says is all true, but still; it's a life he and his children chose for themselves. It's harsh but true. The reason why people focus on celebrities and not on their own social lives has a good reason he addresses as well; there is so much wrong with our reality! I know that he wasn't judging, but I still felt like he was condamning it a bit. And that hurt a little, in a way. I AM interested in Jake Gyllenhaal, I know I don't know him and I don't need to, but there is no crime in having fantasies, living in fantasies sometimes. My reality isn't always easy like everyone else's. Actually reality has been incredibly hard on me lately. And Jake's movies have taught me a lot. It's not OK that the paps bother them, but I just hope he understands that in a way Hollywood can give people hope and comfort. It may be false, but it does help a little sometimes. 1:11 PM GMT+1 Anonymous said... CORRECTION: 'My reality isn't always easy like everyone else's' has to be 'My reality isn't always easy just like everyone else's' Sorry about my English :( not native. 1:13 PM GMT+1 britpopbaby said... Very interesting point, anon. I believe it is in human nature to be interested in people that we think live better than us - the whole reason celebrity culture exists. You see it all over the animal kingdom - we create chains and place ourselves in at one end of the scale or the other. 1:22 PM GMT+1 Agnes said... I'm with you all here. I loved the answers (I feel they are honest and personal) and I thank you Gyllendaddy to take the time to aswer our questions. And thanks to everyone who made this Q&A happen! 1:27 PM GMT+1 Becky Heineke said... I was really struck by his political answers (surprise!) and was way excited to see he mentioned An Inconvenient Truth! But, personal interests aside, I can't believe how honest and revealing he was about his methodology. I mean, really, who are we to get that level of intimacy out of him? I'm honored that I got to be a part of this. 1:47 PM GMT+1 Anonymous said... Thoughtful. Emotionally accessible. Engaging. I really enjoyed it. Seemed like a conversation. He's a lovely guy. 2:07 PM GMT+1 Anonymous said... Great post, 5.11. I'm sure Stephen meant well by his comments, but it seemed a little disingenuous to me for him to discourage others from buying into the dream when his whole family is such a part of it. N/w/s, a lovely intelligent guy. 2:43 PM GMT+1 Anonymous said... I felt like I was having a conversation with Mr. Gyllenhaal. What wonderful questions and his answers were honest and heartfelt. I thought his answer to his political interests were interesting: That Naomi was the political one and he was just following along until recently. 2:56 PM GMT+1 Anonymous said... What an incredible journey life is, and it's through our exploring and travels (in poetry, cinema, music, and the other arts)that we encounter people like Jake and now his family by some extension. I agree with Stephen, that there is much in our own lives to be thanful for and to focus on, but still there are lessons to be learned in our observations. In watching Brokeback Mountain and going through all the emotional turmoil that that work of art represents, I became witness to the talents and humanity of one Jacob Gyllenhaal. My life has taken on a new meaning as a direct result of my observations and self analysis. After reading the answers that Stephen provided to these questions it only confirms for me the fact that Jake has had a wonderous upbringing that has made him much of the person he is today. The thoughts and observations of the father make me want to be a better person. So I make no apologies for being in awe of these individuals as I feel I am continuing to re-evaluate my own existance while enjoying some small bit of sharing with Jake and his family. 3:27 PM GMT+1 Anonymous said... Perhaps because it's Monday morning and I'm having general Monday morning blahs... but after reading his Q&A I get a sense of his being disillusioned about a great many things in his life; that he's been kicked around plenty and I think that comes through in this Q&A and also in some of his poems. It's an interesting place he finds himself in. If it weren't for his famous son we wouldn't know about PapaG's poems at all. And I'm sure that's the underlying current he must be feeling about now. 3:57 PM GMT+1 Anonymous said... I came across your website ‘Jakewatch’ a few days ago and the writing made me laugh out loud several times. More specifically, I think the answers Stephen Gyllenhaal gave to the questions you guys sent were thought-provoking and revealing. He seemed very obliging, but very uncomfortable about being thought to have 'answers'. The line about the poetry of our bodies is lovely and I completely agree that the poetry in modern music is sometimes breathtakingly beautiful so much so that it can hurt. I agree with answers that the connected world's obsession with the cult of celebrity is very much a way to avoid living one's own life. I have to say though that does sometime serve a purpose...if one needs respite. Human beings need illusions and Hollywood being the city of them, it is perhaps a natural place to turn to in this time of rationalism and logic. As in all things moderation is needed I suppose, although Kahlil Gibran did say ‘only when you are empty are you at standstill and balanced’. In the world today, as always, paradoxes abound. I find the paparazzi question interesting. I wonder how many of us buy magazines that use paparazzi pictures. Not the ones where the subjects are at events etc. but the peeping Tom photos of everyday activities e.g. the photos of Stephen Gyllenhaal's son cycling, buying food, meeting friends or family. We are all held captive by these images and because we provide a market for these photos the intrusion into the lives of people like the Gyllenhaal family continues to be lucrative. As I said, I think this website is very funny...the multitasking and sock photos are hysterical...and I am a huge fan of Jake Gyllenhaal and his work...but I can't help but feel a little squeamish while looking at photos of him in his real as opposed to reel life (sorry I hate that pun too but is was apt here). Interestingly, I felt no such squeamishness reading the published poetry which I noticed some people on this site did...I think because a decision had been taken by the author to share these private thoughts while paparazzi photos take that decision away. I think I once read that in Papua New Guinea there are some tribes that believe that taking someone's photograph steals their soul. While this belief might seem strange to us how much less strange is it to call people we have never met by their first names and feel that we know them. I wonder if we all stopped buying the tabloid magazines or watching the equivalent programs would it have an effect?...If only on ourselves...but perhaps eventually on the supply and demand of the invasion into the lives of people like the Gyllenhaals. Again, I am reminded of the point Stephen Gyllenhaal made about the importance of the former (ourselves) as opposed to the latter (strangers in the public eye). I am aware of the irony of writing this on a site entitled 'Jakewatch' but I have been very impressed with the sentiments of those who are part of the community and the respect you have for The Family Gyllenhaal. And I do think people in the public eye agree, expect and even need to some extent people’s interest, fascination in themselves, their work and then their private lives George Michael spoke about it in his song Star People. Again, perhaps this paradox can be described by Kahlil Gibran where he says ‘Your joy is your sorrow unmasked‘. However, as the consumers in the cult of celebrity, each of us does have at our disposal an internal barometer of whether we feel right about doing something or not. I recently saw someone famous interviewed (I cannot for the life of me think who it was…possibly George Clooney or someone like that, who also, as many people are aware, has issues with the paparazzi) and they talked about their …oh hang on I think it was Kiefer Sutherland if I remember correctly…and he said one of the important things he was once told by a parent figure that if we think about it we know what the right thing to do is most of the time. We don’t always do that thing, but we rarely are unaware of whether something is wrong or right. The extreme of this is obviously the sociopath, but they are a grotesque exaggeration of a slight tendency in all humans. There is a very interesting voiceover at the beginning of a film called Kalifornia about a boy on a school trip thinking about dropping a coin off the Empire State Building, but never actually crossing that line and dropping it. I speak for myself when I say I know I often think should I be looking at this photo of someone famous in a private moment. I wonder how many of us feel the same way, but look anyway? There is a beautiful song by Evanescence called Understanding (wash it all away) where they have a recording of someone speaking at the beginning of the song saying: "You hold the answers deep within your own mind. Consciously, you've forgotten it. That's the way the human mind works. Whenever something is too unpleasant, to shameful for us to entertain, we reject it. We erase it from our memories. But the answer is always there." Voyeurism used to carry many more negative connotations. I wonder how much we feed it and how much again human tendencies are cynically manipulated by news editors and managers. This obviously applies to news in the broader sense rather than simply the news about actors and their ilk. How many times have we seem grotesque pictures of suffering and misery that we know were intrusive? In the less solemn world of celebrity, I think some of the most invasive and spiteful photographs are those which deliberately and gleefully trap people in unattractive and unflattering photographs. In Australia they talk about the ‘tall poppy syndrome’ where people are built up to be knocked down or anyone sticking their head above the field or pack is cut down to size. Most cultures have their own way of describing this I think increasingly recognisable phenomenon. I think it was Martin Luther King who said: “We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people, but for the appalling silence of the good people“. He was quite obviously talking about rather more weighty issues than the paparazzi, but it still it could be argued it has relevance to the deification of people by news organisations who in turn argue that it is fuelled by us: the consumers. Once again, I do not mean to point the finger at anyone without starting first with myself. I saw Al Gore interviewed on Jon Stewart’s wonderful show about the film An Inconvenient Truth which I noticed Stephen Gyllenhaal advocated watching as well. In the interview, which necessarily concentrated on environment and what humans are doing to it, Al Gore spoke about the gathering of a critical mass of both evidence and also of public and expert opinion so that they were reaching a ‘tipping point’ and that it had taken decades. Again, a weighty issue, but perhaps there is a way to stem the tide of the breeding of the species ‘paparazzi’ in our post-Information Revolution new century. Through a slow accumulation of distaste and human beings listening to the voices within them rather than to those in the news and creating the news. I don’t know. I noticed several comments about paparazzi on this site previous to this Q&A and I have also had conversations with friends etc. about the fact that I think they are a lower life form. But although I have not bought the kinds of magazines that are at supermarket checkouts in a while now, I have certainly done so in the past. I remember (very inexactly) a quotation I read several years ago by someone that said something to the effect …oh wait I turn to the magic of Google…what on earth did we do before it…here we go…it was by Ralph Waldo Emerson (once again mentioned by Stephen Gyllenhaal…what is that quote?: ’Great minds think alike and fools seldom differ’). Anyway the quote was: "Do not say things. What you are stands over you the while and thunders so that I cannot hear what you say to the contrary." Anyway, apologies if I have offended anyone. It was certainly not my intention. I do love the spirit in which people contribute their thoughts to this site and are genuinely admiring of this actor and family, but I would be very interested to hear what you think of my rambling. It began as a comment and became a soliloquy (which by definition is speaking to oneself in a piece of theatre or the like, but this means it can never be without an audience…is this the Claptrap?) 4:27 PM GMT+1 Anonymous said... The thing is, a lot of people see celebrities as one dimensional. The glitz, parties, etc. And a lot of celebs play into that lifestyle. It takes a lot of effort to stay grounded. And if your work is behind the camera, it takes even more effort not to be swept up in the wheeling and dealing, the egos, the need to be in control and feel important. I think I'm most impressed by the sense that all of them, Stephen, Naomi, Maggie and Jake, seem to value and protect the things that maintain contact with their own humanity. The best actors, writers, artists, etc. to me, are those whose work is informed by truthfulness and courage. Their sense of artistic integrity and their sense of being a part of a larger human community makes what they do as important as the air we breath. His comments give me the impression that he is still a work in progress and he is enjoying the journey immensely, still learning and growing. I admire that so much. Sorry for getting all sappy,(expressing self-evident truths!) but I found his answers very moving. He really engages you in a dialogue. 4:28 PM GMT+1 Anonymous said... I think celebrities are the new gods, in a way, only it isn't precisely religious because we've all gotten so over-rational. Like I said in my 5:11 AM post; we need fantasies, we always have. And I am not going to pretend to be superior and know better. Illusions are part of life and I embrace them, because they enhance creativity and love for the world. 4:50 PM GMT+1 blackhatnbeard said... The comments in response to Mr. G are as wonderful as the responses he gave us. What a thoughtful and insightful man is he. I'm very impressed with the comments here. 4:54 PM GMT+1 JoyceDavenport said... Once again I am struck by the respect and effort to keep things real that comes across in Stephen's answers. Also humility, and almost a sense of innocence- that there is, despite everything good in human beings and in life...a very strong desire to keep turning the questions back on the questioner- what do you think and feel- that's what's real- that's what's interesting to me...you can feel a mind that is hungry to taste truth and an intellect that won't accept blandness. I am amazed that such a person has survived and flourished in the illusion of Hollywood. But then again how many Hollywood couples last 20 odd months- nevermind 20 odd years. That alone takes real integrity and strength. Can't wait to get the book to read more. Ever thought about writing your memoirs Mr G?- or are you still a bit young for that? 4:54 PM GMT+1 Anonymous said... we need fantasies, we always have. And I am not going to pretend to be superior and know better. Illusions are part of life and I embrace them, because they enhance creativity and love for the world. Just would like to second this after reading all the insightful comments about celebrity/paparazzi/etc. It's not just celebrities who are overexposed by the media. It's everything. Having something like iheartjake photos to lose yourself in for a while in a strange way balances out all of the raw violence and tragedy and conflict that the media also feels the need to exploit. I think an escape into fantasy is necessary for sanity. I'm glad people are willing to put themselves out there to be someone else's fantasy. 5:06 PM GMT+1 britpopbaby said... Thanks for your post, magichappening. I think I agree with most of what you said. Paparazzi pictures are an issue I'm never going to be entirely settled on either way. When I started this blog is was going to be a spoof of celebrity culture - Sock Watch is especially demonstrating of that - people taking notice of the tiniest details of other people's lives when it is totally irrelevant to their own. Of course, the Jake Watch mission statement has changed somewhat but I know everyone here realises that what we do is for fun - Ugh, my mother just interupted me in the middle of that to whine on about recruitment agencies and now I've completely forgotten what I was saying - AGAIN! Why can't people/animals leave me alone for five minutes at a time! 5:07 PM GMT+1 Anonymous said... Extremely happy my question was answered. What is the best way to reply.Here,or to Cantara to pass on to Stephen? 6:13 PM GMT+1 The Chemistry Guru said... Wow! I'm speechless 6:22 PM GMT+1 britpopbaby said... Here please - I want to hear everyone's opinion. Cantara sends Stephen our discussions of his poetry so I'm sure he'll probably get to see this at some point. Which was your question, anon? 6:42 PM GMT+1 Anonymous said... Though I enjoyed reading it and he seems like a great person with a lot of wisdom, he also seemed very uncomfortable. Uncomfortable with the attention; I think he sounds like he feels like people read this interview like the Bible. Especially the 'free-time' question; the way he bounced that! That wasn't necessary at all; people were just showing interest! But I understand where he's coming from, though. And nonetheless I am thankful for the time he spent on our questions. 6:54 PM GMT+1 Smurfeyshmoo said... Wow, he's so...deep. I mean, I guess I already knew that (most poets are), but it's somehow different on these questions. It's nice to feel like he really took the time to think about the questions and answer them sincerely. Papa Gyllenhaal rocks! 7:07 PM GMT+1 Anonymous said... This is Ally from IHeartJake.Com bpb - check your pm's on IHJ ;) Thanks! I just wanted to say that Mr. Gyllenhaal's response means a lot to everyone. It's very interesting to read his point of view and I admire the way he turned the Q&A on the fans. Mr. Gyllenhaal, you are a very modest man! Thank you very much again to bpb, the lovely Cantara and of course Papa G. for this. 7:09 PM GMT+1 mrs_dalloway said... The free-time question surprised me too,anon. But not in a negative way,cause the only meaning I saw was that he was trying to underline the fact that he's no different from the others..he does in his spare time usual things just like any of us.I've noticed that every detail about him has to be followed by a question mark or an advice cunsorning us.. 7:48 PM GMT+1 Anonymous said... What a wonderful post, much love and appreciation to Stephen for taking the time. Lots of words of wisdom in there. Someone else quoted this: "People will discover much more interesting things when they turn their cameras (and thoughts) on the people in their own lives, the people they know. The people they personally love. The people they personally hate. The people in-between. The rest of this is just an excuse for avoiding that far more interesting world. The world of their own lives." Is he gently pointing the finger at us? I definitely have that feeling and maybe it hit a sore spot because I'm sometimes guilty of it. We should be focusing more attention and devotion on our own lives and the people in them: our friends and family; people we love and who love us back. Giving them the devotion, attention, energy, time, and love we so easily and generously lavish on our favourite celebrities. I know I'll read Jake Watch and various other Jake related blogs for a couple hours each day when I could be using my time to instead call up my best friend and have a long chat or drop my Dad an e-mail to say hi. So in that way I feel a little guilty. I still think it's OK to have escape time, but we probably do devote too much time and energy to it. 7:56 PM GMT+1 Anonymous said... Wow! First of all, I'm proud of all you fellow jake watchers for asking such excellent questions - see, we can be grown up! Second, its great to see the amount of time pops has obviously spent on answering them. And third - what an exclusive! Well done britpop! 7:57 PM GMT+1 britpopbaby said... I've just spent two weeks with my nearest and dearest - I need a break from them. ;) Kidding...kind of. I think Stephen was talking generally about celebrity culture but you don't have to read too far into it to assume it applies to us, er, 'dedicated' fans. I've spoken on this before HERE but to reiterate; this blog stopped being about Jake Gyllenhaal a long time ago. It was never truly about Jake Gyllenhaal to begin with. Yes I'm a Jake fan and think he is one of the most talented actors of his generation and I guess he is also kind of attractive too, but my main concern is writing. I'll write about anything and I need to write everyday so this is how I cope - making random remarks and observations about some Hollywood actor. Like I've said before, this blog was almost about tea. 8:09 PM GMT+1 Anonymous said... I agree with you anon 11:56 AM. I feel like Stephen gently pointed the finger at us, making me feel rather guilty about all of this. I understand what he is saying but why can't we do both? 8:11 PM GMT+1 cina said... I've had the time to read this more carefully now, and what thought-provoking and interesting answers he's given! It's evident that he's really given our questions a lot of thought and he has definitely not taken this lightly. I also have to applaud all of you for asking such intelligent questions! Mine was really a light-weight question compared to the rest.... lol! 8:46 PM GMT+1 Becky Heineke said... Like I've said before, this blog was almost about tea. Thank God it wasn't! ;) No, I agree completely, and I think that magichappening brought up a lot of interesting points. The thing is, there is a fine line between celebrating, er, celebrities, and obsessing over them. I think we strike a very nice balance on this blog. Jake is just a very good muse for us. He's easy to write about and joke about (and look at...heh). But I think it's a testament to the artistry of the Gyllenhaal family as a whole that this particular group of people has rallied around them. We're all creative ourselves and we're drawing a lot of energy from the family and also from the others who post here. Wow, totally not to go all weepy, psycho-analytical on you or anything but I just meant, dudes. When I was writing for this blog, I took a good hard look out of what I was getting out it, and seeing Jake in Spandex (as exciting as that was) was definitely not the best part for me. But I also know for a fact that that isn't widely apparent to people outside this group. Basically, I'm comfortable as to where I stand in the scheme of things and basically, this was a really boring post. Did I really ask that question? I sound so smart and serious and un-Prophecy-Girl-like! :D 9:01 PM GMT+1 britpopbaby said... What is your problem with tea? Seriously though, I wholeheartedly agree, PG. If we were just Jake fans we'd be satisified with magazines/films/the E! Channel but I like to think we're Jake fans who are witty, creative, like a good debate and who can stand back and appreciate everything Gyllenhaal - dogs 'n' all, which is why Jake Watch is going strong. 9:13 PM GMT+1 Anonymous said...

But I also know for a fact that that isn't widely apparent to people outside this group. I see that too, PG. I have a lot of internet illiterate friends (yes, in the year 2006) in real life, and they have two problems with my Jake Watching and Eyelashing. 1. Is he really that good looking (to warrant my sitting by the computer for hours every day)? 2. Why spend so much time by the computer in the first place? I try to explain to them that it's not about Jake, it's about the people I have come to know, and the thoughts and laughter they share with me on these sites. They still don't get it... And for what it's worth - even though you can form shallow friendships on sites like this, you can also meet people who will stay with you for the rest of your life. I don't see why friendships made in real life should rank higher than cyber friendships. 9:36 PM GMT+1 Anonymous said... OK...this is my last comment on this post, I promise. I just wanted to add that the best part of this blog for me is the witty, creative people posting on it. That's why I'd rather discuss here than elsewhere. But, I do, um, "appreciate" the Gyllenhaal. You know, in addition to the wit and humor. OK, I'm out. 9:37 PM GMT+1 cina said... I personally find this to be a very classy place. I love the people who hang here and on the forum - intelligent, witty, creative, always with a tongue-in-cheek attitude and we can laugh at ourselves and our obsession with The Gyllenhaal(s). It's the best place imo! :-) Plus - Britpop and PG are funny as hell!! (Damn, your Jake biography is a CLASSIC, Britpop!) 9:40 PM GMT+1 britpopbaby said... Although Jake's bio is all factual I was especially creative with it and if I do so say so myself, it is my best work. I really wish I'd written it back in May so I could have submitted to my tutor for marking. It's also alarming how few people actually know the true story of Jake. I'm just glad I can set the record straight. 9:50 PM GMT+1 Agnes said... PG and Anna I agree with you. 10:22 PM GMT+1 Anonymous said... "You can also meet people who will stay with you for the rest of your life. I don't see why friendships made in real life should rank higher than cyber friendships." I totally agree. I have one friend I met online that is the dearest person to me. Unfortunately she lives in another country, but it hasn't stopped us from getting on a plane and visiting each other. I think the best thing to come out of blogs and mb's is definitely the people we meet and form close friendships with. =) 10:25 PM GMT+1 cina said...

But you're only OK if that's taking place inside of you. With yourself. Not outside. Jake has often talked about how he can be insecure and has a huge desire for people to like him. So I can't help but wonder if some (or all) of this applies to him. 10:45 PM GMT+1 Anonymous said... The rest of this is just an excuse for avoiding that far more interesting world. The world of their own lives. While I agree that we shouldn't ignore our own lives and I do feel bad about the paparazzi invasion the Gyllenhaals have had, I can't help but still enjoy it every time more pictures come out. I'm not avoiding a far more interesting world however because I do enjoy my own things but I also enjoy seeing what Jake is up to and watching him interact with friends/family. It's a guilty pleasure but a pleasure no less. 10:48 PM GMT+1 cina said... ^^ I second that, totally. 10:54 PM GMT+1 Anonymous said... I actually feel as if I've been scolded a little by the Gyllenpappa. (If I were a dog, my tail would be between my legs & my head would be drooping. Bad dog. Bad, bad dog.) All I can say in my defense is that, as I've mentioned before, I'd be paralyzed with fright if I actually saw any of the Gyllenhaals on the streets of Manhattan, live & in person, and I would nod briefly & keep my distance. Like endangered animals, they deserve the use & enjoyment of public space & should be permitted to go about their lives unmolested. I plead guilty: My job at the office can be numbingly dull, and it's a pleasure to think of something far-off, a sort of Shangra-La. So, in my imaginitive life, I do make use of Mr. Gyllenhaal's handsome son. "My" Jake is quite fictionalized, and probably has nothing to do with the actual person who's got a birth certificate with Gyllenhaal typed upon it. Except that they physically resemble each other. Probably has more to do with a character dreamed up by Annie Proulx and further refined by Diana Ossana/Larry McMurtry/Ang Lee than with the real Jake Gyllenhaal. And I like to think that I use the image presented by any famous person within my creative mind the way Joseph Cornell would sometimes use the images of ballet dancers & B-movie actresses & Spanish infantas as part of his famous boxes & assemblages. That said, Mr. Gyllenhaal's left me thinking that I'd better be careful, lest I get too weird or something. 10:57 PM GMT+1 Anonymous said...

And I was just pointing out that given the way Jake has talked about himself, I can see him possibly falling into that "trap" himself, at least once in awhile. I mean none of us here really know the real Jake and I do think some people tend to make him out to be much more perfect than he is. I'm not saying he's a bad guy at all but just that I don't think he's always bound to have a perfect handle on the attention and what it means to him. Just because Jake comes from a well connected family who has seen the game played, it doesn't mean he's going to always react to it all in the best way. Hell for all we know, Jake cries himself to sleep at night from the pressures that surround him. The point is we don't know and the paparazzi pics and interviews don't necessarily tell us the real story. 12:01 AM GMT+1 Anonymous said...

And the jake bio is spot on in my book, not factually clearly ;-) but its just so damn funny!! 12:14 AM GMT+1 dani said... I am so impressed with the questions that were presented to Mr. Gyllenhaal. And the fact that he took the time to give such thoughtful, in depth answers is beyond amazing. This is further proof that investing so much interest in Jake is not a complete waste of my time. He stands head and shoulders above so many of the cookie cutter Hollywoood types and now I can see that he came from a well grounded family. Hopefully this will give him strength to stay true to himself no matter how crazy his life may get. There has been so much to read that I can't remember who said what, but I do agree that a little fantasy is necessary in all of our lives. And I believe that all of us who post here do have the right balance. This is a fun place to go to relax and have comraderie. All of our lives are important and I'm sure we devote the proper amount of time to taking care of them. And if for relaxation we choose to idealize the life of a celebrity, there is no one better than Jake. We mean him no harm and wish him much success because his success is our entertainment. We laugh at each other and laugh at ourelves. That is what's so great about JW. Now, Jake's dad has made us feel worthy of his time also. I just finished reading what nice anonymous said and I tend to agree that my interest and devotion to Jake really has more to do with a fictional character that he was fortunate to play and I simply transfered those feelings to the actor. The real Jake may not be worthy. But I choose to believe that he is. 12:36 AM GMT+1 Anonymous said... woah - I absolutely understand what Papa means about turning the camera on your ownlife - hell I remember that lesson when I read Anne of Green Gables - how all these elaborate stories of far away places got her no where until she wrote about what and who was around her. That book always stuck with me - especially that lesson.I feel the most secure writing about the most insecure moments of my life - because no one can challenge that experience. Papa done right! 1:14 AM GMT+1 Bobbie said... I totally agree with all of the comments about the greatest thing about this blog being the writing. It's smart and witty (as are the comments) and it keeps me from feeling too guilty about my extreme Gyllenhaal interest...because what I usually end up reading is an intellectual discussion, sure sometimes we discuss his ass, but it's in fun. I also think it's Jake's being so selective in choosing in his movie roles that keeps me so interested. I love that he acts because it's his passion and he loves it...rather than to be famous. And he's SO talented. We're smart girls (and boys) so we appreciate this smart guy. We wouldn't just love an actor (like say Chad Michael Douchebag) because he's pretty, he has to have the talent, personality, and passion for the craft. That's why I love and appreciate Jake so much. 4:45 AM GMT+1 mrs_dalloway said... I come here for the writing,for the people,for the activities and for Jake. This is the only place that can satisfy them all. I admire very much Jake as an actor,that's how it all began in the first place..He's the first celebrity for me that made me go and search on Google for more info.And that's because I was very impressed by his work in Donnie Darko and Brokeback.I didn't need a substituent for the real life, I just needed to know more about a talented actor. This blog is the best way to keep up with his work and to appreaciate in various ways his look. :) It's definetly not a waste of time,there's enough time for everything,so why not include this type of activity in our lives? We can and we have made it a perfect sourse of fun, knowledge, communication, understanding, sometimes a refuge. Each of us comes to whatever he has and shares his opinion on Jake or other subjects. I think it's wonderful. And I think Jake is a human being who's art has led to such a great impact on people. Well,some of those people react like we do: we share. 8:02 AM GMT+1 Anonymous said... I agree Mrs Dalloway. I don't need a substituent for the real life either. I have loving friends whom I deeply appreciate and care for. I am aware of the blessings in my life and VERY aware of people's uniqueness and my own. It doesn't mean that I suddenly don't like Jake anymore! Jake is a distraction, just taking my mind off my busy life and focussing on Jake for a minute, letting go of all my other worries, helps me. It doesn't mean I don't appreciate the people around me or I don't notice the cute guys in 'real life'. But how Jake comes across has taught me a lot, his movies have taught me a lot. If it wasn't for Brokeback Mountain, I would have never been able to handle so maturely that my father after hiding it all his life turned out to be a crossdresser. If it wasn't for Jake, I wouldn't have been so concerned with voting - believe it or not. If it wasn't for The Day After Tomorrow, I wouldn't have been so aware of global heating. Also, I go to college, somehow the Gyllenhaals have shown me you don't have to be a boring bookworm; don't ask me how, they just have. Maggie is a far better rolemodel for young girls than girls like Lindsay Lohan and the Olsen Twins. And I embrace that! Before Brokeback Mountain, I thought there was no hope for Hollywood - honestly. I thought we were all doomed to drown in Freaky Friday, Mean Girls and Raise Your Voice. That was definately my personal way of looking at it, but Jake (and Heath too for that matter) have shown me that there are still simply GOOD ACTORS out there who don't need to date everyone to get attention and appreciation.

Maggie is one of the few people I would term an 'actor' rather than a 'celebrity'. 10:19 AM GMT+1 Anonymous said... Anna said: I try to explain to them that it's not about Jake, it's about the people I have come to know, and the thoughts and laughter they share with me on these sites. They still don't get it... And for what it's worth - even though you can form shallow friendships on sites like this, you can also meet people who will stay with you for the rest of your life. I don't see why friendships made in real life should rank higher than cyber friendships. So many of you bring up points that are very worthy. The comments about the development of friendship in this community as it were. The excellence of the writing and the expression of thought with a generous helping of humour. These are the things that keep me coming back to Jake Watch daily. The recognition of something special in Jake... besides the obvious good looks and charm, like when he speaks from the heart, and I believe he does. To have these observations and thoughts confirmed in some way when his own father takes the time to reply to the questions presented to him on his writing and his life lead me to believe that we are being witness to a great exchange or a meeting of minds. OK now.... I know I'm getting all warm and fuzzy but that's just who I am, but I value that human ability that I'm sure we all have to recognize something good when we see it and to celebrate it as we are doing here and now.

I just hope Mr. Gyllenhaal doesn't honestly think we don't know how blessed we are with our lives and the people around us! We are just what movies are about; we are the people who were touched by them is all. Doesn't mean we have a disturbed focus :-s What I do in my spare time? Watch movies :-D!

Terms of Service | Privacy Policy | Cookie Policy | Do Not Sell My Personal Information Editorial Masthead popular In just 40 seconds, Matthew McConaughey makes the heartbreaking case for gun safety "She wore these every day, green Converse with a heart on the right toe." Eric Pfeiffer 06.08.22 Twitter/WhiteHouse.gov Matthew McConaughey speaks at the White House about gun safety. Maite Rodriguez was only 10 years old when she was senselessly murdered during the mass school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, that made national headlines last month. The Robb Elementary School student was passionate about nature. So much so that every day she wore the same pair of green Converse shoes with a tiny heart etched in ink on the toe of the right shoe. Those now iconic shoes were the only reliable piece of evidence in identifying her body after Rodriguez was gunned down by the AR-15 style rifle that killed her and 18 of her fellow classmates. Actor Matthew McConaughey used that horrifying and unforgettable image during an appearance at the White House, where he advocated for gun safety measures in light of the shooting that has rocked his home town of Uvalde and the nation at large. McConaughey's remarks immediately went viral across social media, with a short, 40-second clip amassing more than 7 million views in less than 24 hours. "How can we make the loss of these lives matter?" McConaughey asked. “You could feel the pain, the denial, the disillusion, anger, blame, sadness, loss of lives, dreams halted," he added, when describing his visit to Uvalde after the shooting. McConaughey's call for action is fairly modest. In an op-ed published in the Austin American-Statesman, the Oscar-winning actor called for commonsense reforms including expanded background checks. "I believe that responsible, law-abiding Americans have a Second Amendment right, enshrined by our founders, to bear arms," he wrote in the op-ed. "I also believe we have a cultural obligation to take steps toward slowing down the senseless killing of our children. The debate about gun control has delivered nothing but status quo. It’s time we talk about gun responsibility." \u201cWow, this McConaughey speech\u201d — Acyn (@Acyn) 1654627013 But it is this 40-second clip that has spread like wildfire across social media in which a tearful McConaughey asks his wife Camila Alves to hold up the pair of Converse worn by Rodriguez. "Maite wore green Converse with a heart hand-drawn on the right toe," McConaughey says in the clip, voice cracking with grief, "because they represented her love of nature. Camila's got these shoes, can you show these shoes, please?" Alves, herself visibly shaken with grief, holds up the shoes with her head held down. "Wore these every day. Green Converse with a heart on the right toe. Because it was the same green Converse on her feet that turned out to be the only clear evidence that could identify her at the shooting," McConaughey says. The actor angrily slammed his fist on the White House podium, audibly moaning and muttering, "How about that," as the clip ends. McConaughey and Alves spent the day on Capitol Hill meeting with lawmakers from both parties. The actor and activist has used his stardom to advocate for middle-ground commonsense solutions to the nation's problems, including gun safety. In both his op-ed and in comments at the White House, McConaughey acknowledged the unique reality of America's Second Amendment and relationship with firearms. Rather than shaming the concept of gun ownership, McConaughey stressed the need for workable solutions and for political leaders to put principle ahead of fundraising and reelection concerns, saying, “We can’t truly be leaders if we are only living for reelection.” “We need to invest in mental health care. We need safer schools,” McConaughey added. “We need to restrain sensationalized media coverage. We need to restore our family values. We need to restore our American values. And we need responsible gun ownership.” With the potential for modest but meaningful gun safety legislation making progress in Congress, it's all the more important to have voices like McConaughey's as part of the conversation, to both remind us of the urgency of the moment and that there is a way forward with consensus on bipartisan solutions to a problem that should be a priority for every parent and every voter in the nation.

This is called the Dunning-Kruger effect and it’s proven every time you log onto Facebook and see someone from high school who thinks they know more about vaccines than a doctor. The interesting thing is that even though people are poor judges of their own smarts, we’ve evolved to be pretty good at judging the intelligence of others. “Such findings imply that, in order to be adaptive, first impressions of personality or social characteristics should be accurate,” a study published in the journal Intelligence says. “There is accumulating evidence that this is indeed the case—at least to some extent—for traits such as intelligence extraversion, conscientiousness, openness, and narcissism, and even for characteristics such as sexual orientation, political ideology, or antigay prejudice.” Reddit user Gisgiii posed a question to the AskReddit subforum “What is a subtle sign that someone is really intelligent?” and the answers painted a clear picture of how smart people behave. They tend to be great communicators who understand their audience and are more concerned with getting things right than being right. Here are 18 of the best answers. 1. They draw wisdom from multiple sources. "They draw wisdom from multiple sources. Wait but that might be more wise than intelligent... But I guess those two tend to be seen together a lot," — Puzzlehead-Engineer 2. They know their audience. "They can switch up the way they talk to match the person they're talking to without sounding condescending. They listen to how others learn and explain it in that person's language of understanding," — Wynonna99 3. They develop a keen sense for their job. "I used to work with a doctor - Tom Howard - and the day I realized he was a genius was the time he guessed every single condition a patient of mine had based on minute pieces of information about him," — Yodei_Mon 4. Curiosity. "They are curious about everything. To be intelligent you need to be knowledgeable and you can't be knowledgeable if you are never curious," — soup54461 5. They're great at conveying ideas. "When they explain something they make you feel intelligent," — gwoshmi 6. Considerate questions. "They spend time thinking before asking a question," — ParkMan73 7. They make hard ideas simple. "They effortlessly communicate complex concepts in a simple way," — joculator 8. They know what they don't know. "They know when their knowledge ends and say something to the extent of 'i don't know and anything else i say on this topic is ignorant speculation,'" — blutoboy 9. They ask great questions. "They can ask really good questions." "Edit: to anyone not understanding what mean, I’m talking about people who ask “really good questions”, not just any questions, really good ones. I don’t know how one would achieve this skill(I know I haven’t)," — milkmanbran 10. They don't pretend to know everything. "They aren’t afraid to say they don’t know the answer to a question," — xchernx 11. They change their minds with new information. "They admit to changing their mind about something," — FarAwayAdventure 12. They pivot well. "They apply knowledge from one realm into a new and relevant situation," — soubestitch 13. They are open-minded. "They can genuinely consider an idea which opposes their worldview without necessarily accepting it," — paidshill29 14. They use analogies. "People who use analogies to explain concepts to others. It’s a form of code-switching and integrating concepts on the fly and is a clear indicator someone is both socially and conceptually intelligent," — SwimmerAutomatic2488 15. They don't argue. "I think intelligent people are more willing to calmly debate/discuss, rather than argue. Like, you explain to them why you disagree, and they listen to you and ask further questions about your viewpoint before offering a different perspective; as opposed to an unintelligent person, who would just resort to insults when other people disagree with them," — AngelicCinnamonBun 16. They learn from mistakes. "Admitting when they're wrong and being willing to learn from mistakes," — siyl1979 17. A sense of humor. "Humor. I think that truly funny people are often very smart and cognizant of the different ways an idea can be humorous on several levels. They also know their audience. I think the difference between say a Jeff Foxworthy and a Dave Chappelle and a Bo Burnham is their audience and their interests," — biscuitboi967 18. A love of learning. "They say they love learning and they learn something new every day. Then they listen more than talk," — throwingplaydough From Your Site Articles You may suffer from 'impostor syndrome.'

Heather Wake 08.05.22 Twitter What a beautiful meowment. Ready for the most pawsitive story of all time? Have we got some uplifting mews for you. The video game Stray (released by game company Annapurna Interactive in July 2022) is unsurprisingly mega popular among feline fans. What cat lover wouldn’t love the thought of traipsing through an abandoned post-apocalyptic city as a scrappy orange tabby, unlocking clues and scratching up carpets? Stray - State of Play June 2022 Trailer | PS5 & PS4 Turns out, the indie video game taking over the internet with memes and general stray cat fandom is doing much more than providing kitty-centric entertainment to humans—it’s doing some real good for cats IRL. AP News announced that Annapurna Interactive used livestreams of the game on Twitch to raise money for multiple animal shelters and cat-related charities. Cat people are a different breed, no question. It’s never a passing interest, only an all-consuming adoration, bordering on obsession. So it’s no wonder really that Stray became the fourth “most watched and broadcast game” on the Twitch platform the day it launched. In addition to setting up charity livestreams, Annapurna Interactive also offered copies of the game to Nebraska Humane Society as part of a raffle. Participants needed to pay only $5 for a chance to win the normally $30 game. We're teaching these kittens how to turn on a PlayStation so they can play Stray, the new cat adventure game from @HKdevblog and @A_i! 🎮 Wanna play with them? Donate $5 to the shelter and you'll be entered to win a code for the game! Donate here: — Nebraska Humane Cats (@NHSCats) July 15, 2022 Marketing specialist Brendan Gepson told AP that within a week, the organization was able to raise $7,000 because of the giveaway, which he added was especially notable because the vast majority of those donations were from people who had never donated before. Though the drawing has already been made, you can still donate to the Nebraska Humane Society campaign here. New Yorkers truly got the ultimate experience, when Annapurna Interactive partnered with NYC cat cafe and adoption agency Meow Parlour for a weekend. Visitors got to play the game for free for 20 minutes, all while being surrounded by the cafe’s adorable kitty residents and maybe even go home with one! This is the stuff dreams are made of, people. The @A_i cat cafe Stray Meow Parlour pop-up was amazing and every games industry event should be held in a room full of kittens, no exceptions. — Jules Engel (@ghoulsengel) July 24, 2022 This extra support comes at a particularly crucial time for our feline friends—”kitten season.” According to the ASPCA, “kitten season” typically takes place between March and October, though it varies across the country. Of the millions of cats that enter shelters each year, a huge majority are at-risk kittens that come in during this time period and approximately 860,000 are euthanized. Unsurprisingly, the creators of Stray are notably cat people. The game’s website states the development team is “mostly made up of cats and a handful of humans,” and the beloved orange tabby protagonist is based on an actual adopted stray named Murtaugh. Murtaugh is so famous he even got his own interview. What a legend. Cat GIF by Annapurna InteractiveGiphy However, it’s one thing to have feline fondness. Annapurna Interactive came up with a truly purrfect way to put love into productive action. Never thought I’d see the day where playing a video game could help save thousands of cats nationwide, but here we are. What a time to be alive. Be responsible, folks. Consider adopting from a shelter, be sure to spay/neuter your cat and of course, go play Stray.

Tod Perry 08.05.22 via Wikimedia Commons. A lock of hair, reputedly from King George III. In modern times we memorialize our loved ones by saving old photographs, holding onto their jewelry, or keeping their ashes in an urn. But, according to Artsy, before we had photographs of people to remember them by, people often saved their hair. It was impossible to save someone’s rotting flesh before modern preservation techniques were developed, plus it’s pretty disgusting. So hair was the only part of the body that one could keep. Human hair can retain its color and texture for years after someone has passed, so it's a durable material to turn into remembrance art. “The keeping and saving of hair for future use in jewelry or other commemorative craft (such as wreaths) was common,” Karen Bachmann wrote, according to Artsy. The practice was common in Victorian England and it was brought across the pond to America’s frontier. Hair art. via Wikimedia Commons “The Victorians were also famously sentimental,” Joanna Ebenstein, founder of New York’s Morbid Anatomy Library and Gift Shop told Artsy. “Hair art, which could be used to commemorate the living or dead beloved, perfectly merges the fashion for mourning and sentimentality." TikTok user Christina Dyer, who runs The Dyer Ghoul House, which specializes in gothic content, went viral recently after a video she shared on the platform received more than 1.9 million views. The video shows her opening a book from the 1800s that she had purchased, only to find around eight folded pieces of paper with names and dates containing pieces of hair. "I pretty much have a whole family!" Dyer wrote in a subsequent video. @thedyerghoulhouse Question is what do i do with them? 🫣 #victorianhair #victorianmourning A lot of people thought the hair was taken for nefarious reasons. "Me thinking it’s trophies from a serial killer in the 1800s," ultraoldsoul commented. However, multiple people remarked that it was a common practice for people to save their loved ones’ hair and turn it into a keepsake. "That was a common thing to do in that times, to preserve that person's memory, or they gifted a piece of their hair as a sign of affection," Jennifer Marie commented. After the video went viral, Dyer shared another one showing what she planned to do with the hair. “I was drawn to a lock of the mother's hair, so of course I framed it," Dyer wrote. In the video, she shares a frame with "Mother 1862" written on it. "Now I need to decide what to do with the others," she adds. @thedyerghoulhouse Replying to @she_horror Update! 🕊 #victorianmourning #victorianhair After finding the hair, Dyer did some research and discovered the names of three of the people whose hair was in the book. "Here are three of the people whose hair I found inside the antique book," she wrote in a follow-up video. The good news was that they all lived long lives for the era. “Walter died aged 78, Constance 77, and Lawrence 57. If my sources are correct!” she wrote. @thedyerghoulhouse Replying to @elviratsquirrel Constance is a beauty. 🕊 #victorianmourning #victorianera #victorianhair It’s tantalizing to wonder if the people whose hair she found have any idea where their last mortal remains turned up. However, they probably would have a really hard time understanding the internet and what it means to “go viral.” The wonderful thing is that—although some may find it a bit morbid—Dyer is treating the hair with respect, just as the person who placed it in the book intended. Plus, it’s always wise to curry favor with the dead.

How does Recoop work? What's the difference between the Balance and Recovery formulas? Recoop’s Balance formula (taken each morning in conjunction with the stimulant) is designed to help people stay focused throughout the day, without the jitters. When taken with stimulants, Recoop has been shown to support healthy impulse control, maintain balance in your mental mood, and support your productivity.* Recoop’s Recovery formula (taken each night, after stimulant use) supports restfulness when falling asleep and balance to wake up more refreshed. The formula has three main functions: to support healthy recovery from stimulants after they are in your system, to support ease in achieving deep sleep, and to promote healthy recovery in your body overnight.* Recovery supplements should be taken 30 minutes before bedtime. Do I need both the Balance and Recovery formulas to support recovery when taking stimulants? You do not need to take both formulas to enjoy the benefits of Recoop, but a routine that includes both is more effective, as the two are designed to be taken together. Where do you source your products? Our ingredients are sourced from reputable suppliers and manufactured in a GMP compliant facility in the USA. I have a hard time swallowing capsules, can I open the capsules and pour their contents in water? You can, but we don’t recommend it! The ingredients inside our capsules have a bitter taste, which is why we have it encapsulated! Is Recoop vegan? Yes and No! We use vegetarian capsules and our wellness set ingredients are vegan. The Immunity Formula is not currently vegan but this is something we’re working on! What is the recommended dosage for your products? For Recoop Day Formula, take two capsules once a day before you take stimulants. For Recoop Night Formula, take two capsules 30 minutes before bedtime. So in short, take two of each formula every day you take stimulants or as directed by your Healthcare Professional. For Immunity, take two capsules every morning to help support your immune system and help maintain your body's existing ability to stay healthy.* My pills are a different color then they usually are, is that normal? Yes, it’s totally normal for the color of the pills to not stay consistent. Since we don't use dyes and only use natural ingredients in clear veggie capsules, there tends to be a range of brightness because the natural ingredients can vary in saturation. Occasionally you will see a little bit of discoloration between batches, but they are safe to take. ABOUT STIMULANTS Want to see the research behind our formula ingredients?

What are some of the reasons someone would take or be prescribed prescription stimulants? ADHD, ADD, narcolepsy and some types of depression are some reasons a doctor would prescribe stimulants. There are some off-label uses, but those are rare and on a case-by-case basis under the supervision of a medical professional. Stimulants increase dopamine and norepinephrine in the synapses of the brain. Since people have different brain chemistries, the reactions to the medication can differ. One example is those who take stimulants for ADHD tend to find themselves calmer, while non-ADHD individuals who are prescribed the same medication typically have the opposite reaction.

University of Guelph marketing and consumer studies professor Karen Finlay and her colleagues have received $500,000 from the Ontario Problem Gambling Research Centre to continue researching the effect casino design has on gambling behaviour. The research team, which has previously conducted studies using video images of casinos, will use a virtual-reality simulation unit to examine the role casino “runways” have on a gambler’s willingness to play beyond the level they initially intend to. “The term ‘runway’ describes the area right before you enter the casino,” says Finlay, who’s working on this project with psychology professor Harvey Marmurek and Profs. Jane Londerville and Vinay Kanetkar of the Department of Marketing and Consumer Studies. “In Las Vegas, designers are paying attention to this ‘runway’ area by using specialized design elements like sights and sounds that are intended to put people into states of different emotional arousal or excitement. We’re trying to determine the effect this area has on gamblers and their gambling behaviour.” The first year of the three-year project will involve refining software and shooting video images which will be programmed into the virtual-reality unit for testing in 2007, said Finlay. The unit will incorporate a set of eyeglasses and a glove along with an actual slot machine. The team will transport the system to gambling communities to collect data. Respondents will play the slot machine while viewing a gambling setting in 3-D format. “We’re trying to get as close to reality as we can,” said Finlay. “Among other things, we’re interested in studying whether a changes in gambling setting or the emotions it induces changes a gambler’s plans.” They will also explore the use of “soft fascinations” or images that people will be involuntarily drawn to look at which reduce the anxiety that concentrated gambling can create. An example of a soft fascination is a child bouncing a ball or playing with a puppy, although Finlay plans to use different images, including a Japanese garden. “These soft fascinations may provide gamblers with a mental break and the ability to refocus their gambling behaviour in a more responsible way,” she said. “It’s believed that gamblers who are given such an opportunity won’t continue behaviours like thinking the machine will pay out because it hasn’t paid out for a long time or chasing their losses.” The researchers hypothesize that, if people are restored psychologically, they’ll make better decisions about their gambling. “Gambling is a very directed activity,” said Finlay. “While gambling, your attention span can wear out and you can become cognitively fatigued and behave less responsibly than you should.” This team of researchers has been studying the role personality and environment play in problem gambling in hopes that their work may eventually be used in public education, to promote awareness among policy-makers and for clinical treatment plans for problem gamblers. In 2003, they concluded that the busier the casino in terms of noise, colours, lights and people, the more likely both problem and non-problem gamblers are to take a chance. Based on this discovery, the researchers believe designing casinos with rooms containing comforting, natural, yet limited stimuli for problem gamblers could help control their over-the-top impulses.

Among those killed is an eight-year-old girl who was struck by lightning and a 12-year-old boy who drowned. The impact of the storm in KZN on 10 October 2017. Picture: Twitter/@ZaazyZuma. Heavy rains Flooding KZN storms Durban storms Email Print Tweet Share Ziyanda Ngcobo | 1769 days ago DURBAN - The KwaZulu-Natal Health Department has confirmed that two patients were killed at a state hospital when a wall collapsed during Tuesday's severe thunderstorms. It brings the confirmed number of deaths to seven. Among those killed, is an eight-year-old girl who was struck by lightning and a 12-year-old boy who drowned. With traffic flowing in most parts of the province, disaster management teams continue with rescue operations for those affected by flash floods.

The Cooperative Governance Department's Lennox Mabaso said: “Those in flooded areas we’re also alerting them, we basically want to save lives and avoid any loss of life at this stage.” WATCH: KZN hit by heavy rain and flooding KZN Health MEC Sibongiseni Dhlomo says the latest victims were a mother and daughter who were leaving the hospital. “We regret the loss of two lives at the Prince Mshiyeni Memorial Hospital after the daughter was discharged. A wall fell on them and they died on the spot.” AMBULANCE SERVICES OVERSTRETCHED Dhlomo is warning ambulance services are currently overstretched and might not be able to respond to all emergency calls. He said: “We also want to request that because we’re overstretched by the ambulance services, we may not be able to really respond to all calls. So if people could make use of any other alternative transport if they need to go to hospital, we’d definitely appreciate that.” The Addington and Clairwood hospitals had parts of their roofs blown off by strong winds during the heavy downpours. Major rescue operations continue along the KwaZulu-Natal coastline affected by Tuesday’s heavy thunderstorms. The National Sea Rescue Institute says due to the strong winds and heavy rains many yachts and boats have been washed up on the shoreline at various harbours. Spokesperson Craig Lambinon said: “The NSRI teams are assisting emergency services in the Durban area. It’s a massive deployment of emergency services.

Last week, someone one Twitter posted a photo of a candy corn pizza made with a DiGiorno. Yeah, pizza...topped with candy corn. It's the latest controversial culinary creation to gain traction this fall -- it joins pumpkin spice pizza -- and makes you wonder where exactly this madness will end. Turkey and gravy pizza? Pecan pie pizza? Egg nog pizza when Christmas rolls around? As you may have expected, people were up in arms over the thought that candy corn and pizza have been merged into one. The Twittersphere exploded (mostly) in rage. Heck, even DiGiorno got in on it.

Having recently spent a few days in Bulgaria, and immersing myself in the culture (especially the food ?), it got me thinking about the different ways that people celebrate Easter. As you may know, many of our Just Helpers team originate from Bulgaria, so it is a country particularly close to our hearts. Firstly, did you know, that Bulgarians celebrate Easter on a completely different day? This year it is a week later than ours, with Easter Sunday falling on Sunday 19th April. Easter Traditions As a nation, they have many beautiful traditions and this time of year has a few of my favourites. If you enter a house in the lead up to Easter and in the following week, you will be presented with a brightly painted boiled egg, and a special sweet bread known as ‘kozunak‘. Many families will have their own recipes and ways of doing this. Similar to us, lamb will be served on Easter Sunday, and if it’s anything like the mouthwatering tender lamb I tasted in a restaurant at the base of Mount Vitosha, then you are in for a treat. The egg symbolises the resurrection of Jesus 2000 years ago. And as with many things Bulgarian, their sense of fun and celebration accompanies this. There is an egg-tapping game (a mild version of conkers), and the person left with an unbroken egg will be proclaimed the winner. This egg is supposed to be kept as a sign of good fortune until next Easter. A Special Day If your helper is named after a flower, then it is likely that they will celebrate their name day on Palm Sunday. In our agency, this will apply to Roza, Tsveta, Tsvetanka, Margarita and Kamelia. Do consider leaving them a little ‘Happy Name Day’ gift. My Prayer My Easter prayer is that the recent challenge and impact of the Coronavirus in our country and across the world encourages us as humans to act as Jesus would – with love, kindness and mercy to each other. I’m working out how to virtually spend time with my church family, reflecting on the past year, being thankful for the many blessings in my life, and asking myself again, how can I be a blessing in my corner of the world.

The short answer is yes, as long as you are willing to do a bit of prep before you dispose of them, a topic that we will be discussing further in this article. However, before we explain how to boil, bake and shatter bones for depositing in your compost, we are going to explain why it seems that gardening experts and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) don’t normally recommend composting bones. The Case Against Composting Bones According to the EPA, there are many things that should not go into a compost including fats, grease, lard, and animal bones. The reason for this is that animal bones create odors and attract pests of all kinds, bugs, snakes, squirrels, raccoons, coyotes –basically anything that is carnivorous. This is especially a risk if you are not using a composter, and instead putting a variety of food scraps in an exposed small pile in the shade. If your backyard compost is just vegetable scraps, then you will have plant fertilizer in about three months. Bones, on the other hand, take years to decompose, and can really start to stink, as well as attract insect infestation. Bones Cool Down Hot Compost If you are using a “hot composter,” either one made out of wooden pallets or one that rotates in a metal barrel, bones will “cool off the process.” The heat inside of a “hot” composter can produce fertilizer within one to three months, as long as you keep turning the rotting mix of food scraps over. Every time you do this a group of bacteria called mesophiles heats up to a temperature between 20 and 30 degrees. The hotter the compost, the faster the decomposition. However, once you add raw bones to the mix, your compost may become a moderate or low temperature, taking an unpredictable length of time to produce results. Please enable JavaScript HOW to make COMFREY fertilizer At Home- The Very BEST Way! The Case For Composting Bones At this point, you might be wondering, why compost bones at all? Bones that are properly processed are of great benefit to your compost. As you are boiling, baking and then grinding up the bones you are essentially making bone meal. Bone meal is a nutrient rich natural fertilizer. It is sold at garden centers, and in hardware stores. Once your bones are cooked and shattered into chips, they will no longer cool down your composting pile as if they were whole and just thrown into the pile. Aside from saving you money, this process also prevents your bones from ending up in landfills, where they also slows down the decomposition process, attracts scavengers. and creates gasses and unpleasant smells. Bone Meal Nourishes the Compost Your homemade bone meal is actually good for the compost, providing it with carbon, calcium and collagen. Calcium carbonate helps the plant develop a strong healthy structure. Bone meal can also add phosphorus to your soil, as long as conditions inside the compost are hot and humid enough to leech the mineral out of the rotting bones. Bone Meal Adds Nitrogen to Compost When properly baked, boiled and crushed, leftover bones can provide your compost with a rich source of nitrogen. This attracts the organisms and worms that help break down your compost. How to Process Bones for Composting The process of making your own nutritious bone meal for your composting involves boiling the bone in water until they are soft enough to break apart. This cleanses the bones of any leftover meat, cartilage, sauces or seasonings, so that backyard animals are not attracted by their smell. The soft bones are then baked at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes. You can then easily crush the bones into smaller pieces afterward using a mallet. If you have a blender you can use its “crush” function to macerate the bones into small dusty chips. Here is your step-by-step guide to processing bones for compost. Step 1. Assemble Utensils and Pots You will need: A large stockpot A wooden spoon A large strainer A large baking sheet A thin dish towel A mallet or rolling pin Step 2. Choose Your Leftover Bones You can make bone meal out of any type of leftover cooked or raw bones that you have, including bones from beef, chicken, duck, goose, fish, lobster, pork and wild game. Step 3. Boil The Bones The purpose of this step is to boil the bones clean of any shreds of meat, cartilage or spices. Boiling the bone also softens them. The minimum time needed to boil the water is an hour. The longer they stay brewing on the stove, the cleaner the bones will get. Put your bones in a stock pot and fill it to the brim with water. Bring the water to a vigorous boil for at least an hour. Use the strainer to rain the bones of the broth, which can be saved to make soup. Pick them clean of any remaining meat. When the bones are cool, pat them dry. Step 4. Bake the Bones The purpose of this step is to dry out the bones so that they are easy to crush into chips and power. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (204 degrees Celsius.) Spread out the bones in a single layer on a baking sheet. Put the bones in the oven, and bake for at least one hour. Remove the bones from the oven and let them cool. The dried bones should easily crumble in your hands. Step 5. Crush the Bones The easiest and cleanest way to crush the bones is to lay a dish towel over them and smash them into tiny bits using a mallet. The dish towel prevents the chips from flying up into your face. Alternative ways to crush the bones are to use a rolling pin, or even a mortar and pestle. Once you have the bones disintegrated into chips, you can put them into the composter. Step 6. Add The Crushed Bones To Your Compost After you have processed your bones into bone chips, they are ready to be added to the compost. The best thing to do is make a little hollow in your compost pile and then add the chips to the center of the pile. That is the “hottest” part of any compost pile, where the microbes are working to decompose any waste material, Once you have added the bone chips, cover them with a thick layer of compost. You will notice that the bone emits very little odors once it is done this way. Sprinkle Bone Powder Directly On The Soil If you have a coffee grinder or blender that is capable of crushing your smashed bone chips into a powder, then what you have made is a homemade bone meal powder that is every bit as nutritious for your soil as the commercial version. Even better, you can just sprinkle your DIY bone meal directly on dry soil, and skip the composting process altogether. The Benefits of Using Bone Fertilizer Here is a summary of the many benefits of using bone fertilizer. Bone fertilizer is an all organic fertilizer that is completely free of chemicals It is rich with calcium, which promotes strong, healthy plant growth. It is rich in phosphorus (NPK0), which plays a key role in plant photosynthesis, seed yield, flowering, and disease resistance. It contains micronutrients like zinc, magnesium and iron that strengthens the structure and quality of your garden soil. It breaks down slowly, identifying it as long-term fertilizer. It does not burn plant roots if too much is applied. The Disadvantages of Using Bone Fertilizer Here is a look at some of the drawbacks of using bone fertilizer. Making bone fertilizer is time-consuming, requiring hours of boiling, baking and crushing bones manually into powder. The smell of the bone may attract raccoons, squirrels, coyotes and other pests. The smell of the bone may tempt your dog to dig around in your compost. If a dog or other animal ingests chipped bone meal they could require surgery. Bone meal is not suitable for plants in alkaline soil that have a pH level of 7 or higher. FAQ Here are some frequently asked questions about composting bones. Is there some way of preparing fats, grease, and lard for composting, similar to the method used for bones? Unfortunately, there is no way of cleaning and solidifying lipid-based animal by-products the same way that you can the bones. Whether in liquid or solid state, grease, lard and fats can raise quite a stench as they take years to decompose. Do meat scraps slow down the composting process? Both raw and cooked meats take a very long time to decompose and there is no way to prepare them so that they don’t stink. Both raw and cooked flesh attracts all kinds of bugs, rodents and predatory birds to your yard. Does bone meal speed up the passive cold composting process? Bone meal was actually devised to speed up cold composting. Sprinkle your homemade version on your food waste pile, but keep in mind that this is still the slowest way to create fertilizer. If you want your cold compost heap to produce fertilizer faster, turn it over every day with a shovel and cover it with a tarp, so that the heat inside the mound of scraps and bone bits heats up faster. How much bone compost should I use in my garden? The general rule is to sprinkle 3 cups of bone meal fertilizer for every 100 square feet of soil. It is important that you work the bone compost so that it is evenly mixed into the ground with no clumps. Distributing it as evenly as possible throughout the soil helps to diffuse its odor so that animals and pets are not digging through your garden beds looking for bones. Can I make bone broth from the bones I am boiling up for compost? Bone broth is a nutritious stock that can be made from the water that you are using to boil your bones. If you want to make authentic bone broth, then you should brew the bones over low heat all night to leech the bones out of as much collagen and minerals as possible. It is also a good idea to make the broth just from one type of animal or fish bone at a time. For instance, it is best just to have beef broth made from beef bones, rather try to make a concoction called chicken/beef broth by adding chicken bones to it as well. Can I add shrimp shells to a compost heap? Shrimp and prawn shells are nitrogen rich. They can be treated the same way you treat animal bones, and then added to a compost. Simply boil, bake and crush the shells and add them to your compost. Adding leaves and green debris and covering the compost helps to discourage predators. However, it is recommended that you do a test before putting shrimp shells in a compost as in some cases they have been known to repel earthworms. As earthworms are one of the major “helpers” when it comes to decomposition in compost heaps and bins, only deposit them in a small area of the compost to see if they disappear. If they do, that is good news. Summary The absolutely best scenario for using bones in a compost is one where you are using a “hot” compost, and not a passive one that is turned over infrequently using a shovel. That is because as rich in nutrients as your homemade bone meal is, it could take years for it all to decompose if they are disposed of in a food waste heap. If you have pets or live in an area with lots of wildlife, it may be a good idea to leave bones out of your compost, as they are so attracted to the rank smell of decaying bones. Otherwise, bone compost and bone meal are wonderful organic fertilizers that promote strong healthy plants without chemicals or any cost.

Search Popular search terms What is Freemasonry? Why become a Freemason? How to Join History of Freemasonry Freemasons' Hall Universities Scheme Breadcrumb About Us The Royal Arch About the Royal Arch The Royal Arch Share In England and Wales there is an indissoluble link between Craft Freemasonry and the Royal Arch, with the Royal Arch being considered the completion of a Freemason’s journey in "Pure Antient Masonry". The Royal Arch has four ceremonies: the exaltation ceremony to admit new members and an installation ceremony for each of the three Principals. The exaltation ceremony is in two parts: a rather dramatic presentation of the principles of the Order followed by three Lectures in which the history, symbolism and principles of the Royal Arch are further explained. Like Craft Freemasonry, the Royal Arch is open to men of all faiths. Its members, called Companions, meet in Chapters under a Grand Chapter. Chapters are presided over conjointly by three Principals, and the Grand Chapter by three Grand Principals, with a Pro First Grand Principal when the First Grand Principal is a Royal Prince. Chapters are organised as a Metropolitan area or Provinces (based on the old Counties), each with a local Grand Superintendent in charge. A list of these regional Grand Chapters can be found here, as well as in our Districts overseas. History of the Royal Arch As with Craft Freemasonry, there is debate as to the origins of the Royal Arch, not helped by the paucity of surviving evidence. From what evidence there is, we know that the Royal Arch was known in London, York and Dublin by the late 1730s. From extant Lodge Minute Books of the 1750s we know that the Royal Arch was being worked within Craft Lodges under both the Premier and the Antients’ Grand Lodges in England, and in Lodges under the Grand Lodges of Ireland and Scotland. The current Supreme Grand Chapter in England dates from the reorganisation of the Craft after the Union of the two Grand Lodges in 1813. Connections between the Royal Family and the Royal Arch in England began in 1772, when HRH Henry Frederick, Duke of Cumberland (brother to King George III) became a member. In 1774, he was elected Grand Patron of the Royal Arch – a portrait of him in his robes for that office still hangs in Freemasons' Hall. In 1776, he was elected First Grand Principal and held that office until 1785. On his death, in 1790, he was succeeded as Grand Patron by his nephew HRH William, Duke of Clarence (later HM King William IV). Further information on the history of the Order and Supreme Grand Chapter can be found on Solomon, UGLE’s online learning resource, which supports individual members of the Craft and Royal Arch as they progress.

Browse all our current bow tie collections. Choose between pre-tied or self-tie styles. Most of our bow ties are also available as matching pocket squares. All bow ties come with adjustable neckband to fit collars up to 19.5 inches. Sorry for the inconvenience. Search again what you are looking for   Search Bowties, and Bow & Pocket Square Sets Above you will find our entire collection of bowties as well as bowtie sets with matching pocket squares. In case you would like to match your own pocket silk to the bow tie you chose, then you may want to view our selection of fine silk Handkerchiefs. At Bows-N-Ties we carry dozens of solid color handkerchiefs in stock at all times. Still not finding what you are looking for? Then let us know. When to Wear What Bowtie Just like the dress code suggests, Black Tie Attire, requires men to wear a classic black bow tie, while the even more formal White Tie dress code requires a solid white bow tie which is traditionally worn with a black tailcoat jacket, a waistcoat, and wing-collar tuxedo dress shirt. Slightly less formal than the black or white bowtie are other solid colored ties. For evening attire, darker color shades are better suited such as dark navy, burgundy, silver, and charcoal. For semi-formal day-time attire, such as spring and summer weddings, lighter & brighter colored >bowties> are also an excellent choice. Good examples here are bows in apple-green, lemon yellow, bright orange, peach, coral, pink, and fuchsia. Then there are the more casual types of >bowties> which usually show fine patterns such as checks, stripes, and polka dots. These bowties don’t need to be worn with a black tuxedo by any means. Think about the college-professor look for example! Good ways to wear these bow ties is with blazer jacket, and a non-matching, but harmonizing pocket square. To learn formal vs. casual ways to fold a pocket square please visit our section titled How to Fold a Handkerchief. Finally men have the option to tie their own bow tie with so-called freestyle bowties, or wear a pre-tied clip on version. While the first is the definite choice of the bowtie aficionado, the average man, the one that only occasionally wears a bow to special occasions, typically chooses a pre-ted bow. All our bowties come prettied. The bows are worn around the neck, and the length easily adjusts to fit almost any collar size. Should you still want to tie your own then your instructions on How to Tie a Bow Tie might be of help. Self-Tied Vs. Pre-tied Bowties The true bow tie aficionado will insist on a bow tie he tied himself. A pre-tied bow tie, although much more convenient, is considered a fashion Faux Pas by the bow tie lover. While most men opt for the more convenient pre-tied bowtie, the regular bowtie wearer will always choose a self-tied bow or also known as freestyle bow tie. We at suggest that for a classic black tie function you choose a bow tie you tied yourself. For instructions please visit our tutorial on necktie and bow tie knots.

I work on the weekends, so during the week I’m at home with my kids. I try to use that time to catch up on family time and housework. On Saturday I wake up for Fox & Friends around 2:45 a.m., I’m in my car by around 3:15, I’m at the studio by 4:15, I’m in hair and makeup till around 5:15. I’m prepping in the car and in the studio, reading all the stories, and then I have about forty-five minutes to gather my thoughts, write some notes, get dressed and get onto the set. It’s a pretty intense, but really fun four-hour live show, and it flies by. We have nine kids, aged from twenty-two to two years old. The older two don’t live with us, though one of them is visiting right now, but all the others are still in the house. It’s really busy. On the weekends, my teenagers are just starting to get up when I come home from work. It’s hard cause I don’t want to be tired. I feel guilty, I want to be with them, I don’t want to take naps. What I love about my job is that for most of the time while I am working, they’re sleeping. As a mom, I don’t feel like I’m missing out. Fox is very transparent about what’s hard news, which are opinion shows and which are hybrid shows. Everyone knows that Fox & Friends is a hybrid of opinion and hard news. We report the news, we comment on it and we debate back and forth. Bret Baier gives you the straight news. At Fox, we don’t pretend that Laura Ingraham and Tucker Carlson are hard news: they use elements of the news, they definitely do some reporting, but they’re very transparent that they’re giving an opinion about it. The difference with the New York Times and some of these other outlets is, they’re editorializing, but they’re doing it in a way that they want you to think they’re not. I believe transparency is key to what viewers want and expect. I like that Fox is not being duplicitous about that. The First Lady’s office was upset at me when I said that Jill Biden knows her husband is in mental decline. I said what I thought. First of all, there’s no way a married woman wouldn’t know if her husband was in decline, so there’s no way Jill doesn’t know. And then, as a former political spouse — my husband, Sean Duffy, was a Wisconsin congressman from 2011 to 2019 — I’m the only person who loves and cares about my husband with absolutely no angle other than I want what’s best for him. If I saw my husband in mental decline of the sort that Joe Biden showed during the 2020 campaign — the media didn’t want to talk about it, but everyone could see what was happening — well, she surely knew. She let him do that, and he’s made some very embarrassing mistakes. Secondly, if my husband was in decline, I’d want to spend that time with him. I wouldn’t want to share him or put him in a stressful situation where he could decline even more rapidly because it’s just too much. It’s very clear he’s not able to handle the rigors of his job. You learn a lot as a political spouse. The spouse usually lives in the district and can see things coming three weeks before the member of staff in DC see them. There is a bubble effect, and you have to say, “Hey, you guys aren’t seeing that this is what’s happening in the district and this is what people are saying at the grocery store and the hair salon.” And you learn so much just by having a spouse who comes home and tells you what’s happening on the ground with your constituents. When there’s a government shutdown, spouses are calling their husbands and saying, “Get home! It’s Christmas!” These are human beings who have families. The wives are saying, “Get home, I’m tired, I’ve been with the kids for five weeks while you’re sitting in Washington trying to get this deal done!” Macho men get a lot of play in people’s thinking about Hispanics, but Hispanic households are very matriarchal. Hispanics in general start businesses at three times the rate of any other Americans, and Hispanic women are the fastest-growing entrepreneurs in America right now. The pandemic has deeply and disproportionately hurt Hispanics. It was very frustrating for them to watch the big guys — the Walmarts, the Home Depots — all those people could stay open, but their little restaurant, their little shop closed. There’s also the inequity in so many of the mandates. A lot of Hispanics are in service industries. There’s this weird thing that we have in our country, where the “servant class” wears masks at the restaurant and everybody else somehow can’t spread Covid because they have more money or they’re more sophisticated. I’ve lived in Latin America, and I’ve never seen more classist societies than those. Hispanics came to America to avoid that kind of class division. In America, we’re supposed to be equal. Hispanics care about education and school choice. They are absolutely horrified at what they’re seeing, whether it’s critical race theory or the low standards of good education in public schools. These are big issues to Hispanics. They see themselves very much as part of the working class, and as liberals and Democrats continue to focus on issues that matter to upper-class elites such as climate change, you’re seeing a real chasm open up. Republicans have an opportunity, thanks to Donald Trump and other forces, to really be the champions of the working class.

Tory leadership favourite Boris Johnson has pledged to boost police numbers by 20,000 in three years if he becomes prime minister. The move came as Mr Johnson faced another hustings appearance with rival Jeremy Hunt on Thursday, while Prime Minister Theresa May predicted her successor would make holding the UK together a priority. Mr Johnson said he will swell the police service to more than 140,000 officers by mid-2022 if he wins the race for Number 10. Police officer numbers in England and Wales have dropped by more than 20,000 since 2009 with Home Office figures showing a reduction from 144,353 to 122,395 in 2018.

Manage Preference The former Cabinet minister said the £1.1 billion move – a similar pledge to that made by former candidate Sajid Javid – would have a particular focus on rural areas that have seen the biggest reductions in police funding in recent years. Mr Johnson said the funds would come from the £26 billion “headroom” reserves set aside by Chancellor Philip Hammond. The ex-mayor of London, who visited the Thames Valley Police training centre near Reading, Berkshire, on Wednesday, said: “What we are saying is that we are going to use some of the existing headroom, quite a small amount, about £1.1 billion, to put more police officers out on the street and I think that is what the public want.” Expand Close Conservative party leadership contender Jeremy Hunt (Peter Morrison/PA) PA Wire/PA Images / Facebook Twitter Email Whatsapp Conservative party leadership contender Jeremy Hunt (Peter Morrison/PA) Pressed on whether he had already pledged the headroom funds for other initiatives, Mr Johnson said: “On the contrary, we have been positively frugal by comparison with a certain other campaign that I could mention. “We are still well within the £26 billion that the Chancellor squirrelled away quite prudently, the money is going on education, a little bit on broadband – and that is already allocated – and on policing as well.” The Tories can’t be trusted on police numbers, whoever their leader is.Diane Abbott Mr Hammond has publicly warned Mr Johnson and his rival for Downing Street, Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt, that a no-deal Brexit would mean the reserve funding would need to be used to deal with the aftermath of withdrawal, and would not be available for spending pledges. Both Mr Johnson and Mr Hunt have said they would be prepared to exit the EU without a deal on October 31 if they could not get an improved agreement with Brussels. Ahead of her last visit to Scotland as Prime Minister on Thursday, Mrs May is expected to say she is confident her successor at Number 10 will continue work to strengthen the relationship between the four nations of the United Kingdom. The call came as Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage suggested EU withdrawal was more of a priority than the union. Expand Close Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage (Stefan Rousseau/PA) PA Wire/PA Images / Facebook Twitter Email Whatsapp Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage (Stefan Rousseau/PA) He told ITV’s Peston: “Look, being an independent self-governing nation is the number one. If there were parts of the United Kingdom that didn’t wish to stay part of it that would be deeply regrettable but I just don’t believe that to be the case – I really genuinely don’t believe it.” The comments came as Labour slumped to fourth place in a new opinion poll. The party is backed by just 18% of voters, two points down on a week ago, according to a YouGov survey for The Times. The Tories have climbed two points to stand at 24% while the Brexit Party is up one point to 23% and the Liberal Democrats up one to 20%. Elsewhere, Mr Hunt drew fire from Labour for saying he would move to see fox hunting legalised, stating a parliamentary vote would be in the next Tory manifesto.

I was hoping to get this post up sooner but after arriving home late on Monday from End of the Road, I didn't realise how exhausted we would all be. It seems the flat has become awash with scattered toys, camping equipment and mountains of laundry and no matter how much I tidy, it still looks the same. So we took a day off to wake from our post festival coma and ease ourselves back into our normal routines, while keeping my fingers crossed for F's bedtime routine to return – think 9.30pm and small boy wide awake.

Originally from London, England, Mr. Pearce was once involved in radical politics. An agnostic, rebel, and risk-taker, Mr. Pearce’s political daring found him in a tight spot more than once. Several years later, after coming upon the works of G. K. Chesterton, Mr. Pearce had a deep spiritual conversion. He was received into the Catholic Church in 1989. Since then, Mr. Pearce has written bestselling books on G. K. Chesterton, C. S. Lewis, Hilaire Belloc, J. R.R. Tolkien, Shakespeare, and others. He has authored more than a dozen books, all of which correspond to the Catholic intellectual tradition while exploring the vivacity of a life of Faith. Some of his works include: G.K. Chesterton: Wisdom and Innocence (Ignatius, 1997), Literary Converts (Ignatius, 2000), Tolkien: Man and Myth (Ignatius, 2001), Solzhenitsyn: A Soul in Exile (Baker Books, 2001), The Quest for Shakespeare (Ignatius, 2008) and Old Thunder: A Life of Hilaire Belloc (Ignatius, 2002), Beauteous Truth (2014), Merrie England (2016), among others.

There’s been an explosion in the popularity of metal additive manufacturing, and that means more use of steel. Steel is one of the key metals used in metal 3D printing, along with titanium and nickel alloys. Most metal additive operations use powder processes, although some use wire-based processes. Regardless of whether powder or wire is used, the steel has to come from somewhere. Unfortunately, most of that steel is sourced using climate-unfriendly methods. The process for making steel typically follows a time-tested process. Wikipedia explains: “Steelmaking is the process of producing steel from iron ore and/or scrap. In steelmaking, impurities such as nitrogen, silicon, phosphorus, sulfur and excess carbon (the most important impurity) are removed from the sourced iron, and alloying elements such as manganese, nickel, chromium, carbon and vanadium are added to produce different grades of steel.” However, there’s a catch, as Wikipedia continues: “Steelmaking is one of the most carbon emission intensive industries in the world. As of 2020, steelmaking is estimated to be responsible for 7 to 9 per cent of all direct fossil fuel greenhouse gas emissions.” That is a staggering amount of carbon being released into the atmosphere, and it’s because the blast furnaces often use fossil fuels for heat, and “coke”, a type of coal, is used as an ingredient. Both of these cause tremendous amounts of CO2 to be emitted when steel is produced. The climate emergency demands that civilization keeps to a very rigid carbon budget, meaning there is a known and fixed amount of CO2 that can be released into the atmosphere before we go past the point of no return. To that end, industries such as steelmaking will have to shift into more greener processes. That change is happening. According to a report on CBC, a Swedish company, HYBRIT, has produced the first samples of ore-based steel using no fossil fuels. Instead of burning fossil fuels for heat, the new system uses electricity, which can be obtained from renewable sources. The process also uses hydrogen to replace coke in the steelmaking process. The result of this process could be described as “green steel”, a product the same as normal steel, yet made entirely from renewable energy. Certainly the first uses of the new green steel will be conventional. In fact, the report indicates that Volvo will be among the first manufacturers to make use of green steel, with prototype vehicles to be produced this year. It’s inevitable that green steel will eventually make its way into powder form for use with AM systems. There may be powder manufacturers ready to experiment with green steel even today, and I would not be at all surprised to see an AM powder manufacturer marketing “green steel powder” soon. This development then shifts focus to the AM operators, who, at least for the next while, will soon have a choice of using “green” or “black” powder. I suspect some operations will adopt the new green steel materials and make it very clear to their customers and prospects that they have done so. The magic of clean, green products will follow down the chain of production, all the way to the end user, who can then honestly state their products are made green.

I have tried to write this post three times. Sigh, thank you for waiting on me to be ready. I’ve included ways to make chemotherapy better and an update on Danise Robinson’s pancreatic cancer battle. I always feel like I don’t have enough to report. But, it’s been two months. So, here we go. A mama update. She just finished round four of THIS chemotherapy. Her platelets were down, but they’ve improved with the use of cold-pressed sesame oil. Her weight stays just right above 100 pounds. She has residual leg pain from sciatica/neuropathy. Although I have good updates, I want to be as honest as possible. This journey is anything but easy. In full transparency, I had to take a moment to return home and reset because I felt like I was drowning. I forgot to respond to emails, I forgot to send thank you cards, I lost track of really, everything, except her success. Again, cancer is a heavy diagnosis to carry. For loved ones, for the patient, for everyone involved. And, after I rested, the road got rocky. Danise has sciatica, worsened by progressive neuropathy She’s had debilitating anxiety from some of the medications. She’s had people cry when they see her – a great confidence boost She continues to have fatigue. Appetite greatly varies. Hair loss was expected, but she’s met her match. But can I just saw how amazing she looks in hats? God took extra time on her face, I swear. Some notes: If you haven’t heard back from Danise; don’t expect to. She’s tired. The best way to reach her? Through me. If you want to donate, no, she doesn’t have the link. We have taken as much off of her plate as possible. The finances of it all are stressful and overwhelming. Have you ever tried to carry a cancer diagnosis? It’s heavy. Donate here Can you keep it to yourself? Danise has lost four pounds since my last update and although this doesn’t seem like much, it’s the total 30 pounds, that makes it more drastic. Because her chemotherapy leads to a decreased appetite, worsened by fatigue, we’ve gotten creative with smoothies and hidden sources of calories. I’ve swapped Cheerios for Three Wishes (since cereal is a daily request) and making smoothies with protein shake as the liquid base to increase calories without volume. The hardest part about a cancer diagnosis, I believe, is the fact that your body changes. And, that people can’t help but say something about it. I’ve spent years working in healthcare and have become used to seeing people’s bodies change as they work through a diagnosis. This has given me the ability to refrain from comment, to hide my emotions, to put on a good face to prevent the embarrassment, shame and sadness that one feel’s from the acute awareness they already have to their changing body. But, this is really hard, for the general population. Recently, despite best intention, there has been a lot of commentary. To the point that I feel like I need to provide some insight and helpful tips. Commenting on anyone’s body is, frankly, inappropriate. Weight gain, weight loss, sickness, health, pregnancy, or miscarriage. There is never a time for it. Even with good intention, it is a very sensitive area to address casually. 5 comments that aren’t about someone’s body I am so happy to see you! I have missed you! Hi *big hug!* I am so happy we got together I want to hear all about you! PSA: If someone’s body has changed. Purposeful, not purposeful, medical-related, or not. Please, do not comment. It helps no one. Put on a poker face. Or, kindly, remove yourself from the situation. Mama’s Current regimen Tuesday, we leave the house at 7:30AM and return around 4PM. Wednesday and Thursday we leave at 12PM and return around 5PM. We go to Vancouver on these days for a new treatment protocol with Dr. Parmar, a naturopathic oncologist who works closely with our Integrative Oncologist. They are long days. They all involve use of her port. 3 days of IV’s and needles, and then four much needed days of rest. This new regimen was started at the end of June. Low dose metronomic chemo with Vitamin C prior, followed by LHRT and mistletoe. Last week she completed a fever treatment that raised her body 14 degrees over a 5 hour period. It was fascinating, intense, and allows the body’s immune system to strengthen and respond. Did you know that fever is a powerful tool? The best news I have today, is that we have a CT pending in the next few weeks. This will give us the best measure of progress. We are asking for life-changing miraculous prayers! Have a better chemotherapy day Together, Mom and I made a list of some of things that have made chemotherapy less bad. Less shitty. These are our chemotherapy best practices. Advice that a conventional doctor may not be so forthcoming with. At least, from our experience. But, we’ve been blessed with an exceptional care team. A special thanks to Cindi B; nurse oncology navigator, where we received great ideas from Day 1 that really helped our foundation of success. Ask for Emend & Aloxi as pre-chemo drugs for nausea and vomiting. Use glutamine for the neuropathy that comes from chemotherapy (I’ve attached the basic supplements that have made a difference for us, here) Consider the Polite CBD tinctures & a temperature controlled vape for pain relief and sleep support Although she didn’t like the meals, Faeth therapeutics has a study with provided medical food with great outcomes for pancreatic cancer. The nausea no more patches are amazing – they’re made by Sunnyside Solutions. In her chemo bag we pack – No sugar added organic single applesauce packages from Costco BTR bars Simple Mills crackers. Simple starchy-like foods work the best. A recent find: E03, a protein drink with added omega-3 and no added sugar. An IPAD & headphones for watching Netflix A gel seat pad for the days when we drive often and she has more likelihood of sciatica flares A blanket and pillow for snoozing That’s all for now! Thank you for your prayers and endless support. I hope that this info benefits someone else and saves them some of the trouble we went through early on. Forever the student, but I love to be the teacher, too!

Utilization Of Digital Information Resources For Academic Development In School Of Health Information Management Zaria | Yalusa C; Habibu M Dept. of Library and Information Sci. Faculty of Education, Ahmadu Bello University Zaria. Akpulu S.P Dept. of Human Anatomy, Faculty of Medicine, Ahmadu Bello University Zaria, Nigeria All correspondence to: Phone +1237060975262 ABSTRACT Digitalization of information has made access to medical science records and information easy and fast. Therefore, the need for developing skills, knowledge and understanding in the use of electronic information devices cannot be over emphasized. However, the reverse is what is commonly seen in most of our institutions of learning. This study was aim at studying the utilization of digital information resources (DIR) for academic development in School of Health Information Management ABUTH, Zaria. Two hundred and thirty six (236) structured questionnaires were administered using the stratified random sampling technique. The data collected was analyzed using frequency and simple percentage statistics. The study revealed that while e-Text books (53.6%) and Internet facilities (38.0%) top the most frequently used digital resource materials, Irregular power supply (31.8 %) and poor network services (24.8 %) top the challenges faced in accessing DIR by the respondents. 52.6% of the respondents accessed DIR materials by subscription. 26.0% is by loan while 20.7% is by purchase. This finding suggests that there is under-utilization of DIR because of infrastructural changes. It is therefore recommended that all relevant stake holders should invest heavily in ensure ring adequate provision of digital resource materials in the Libraries. Key words: Digitalization, utilization, Information Management, Resources. INTRODUCTION The library or information center is the heart of the academic community since learning and research is the core academic program (Bashir, 2013). The digitalization of information and communication has no doubt brought about changes and rapid development in all human endeavours especially in medical science education. Thus, the ability for timely acquisition, retrieval and utilization of relevant and accurate information has become an important attribute in teaching and learning process especially among medical students. Digital or electronic information resources are those information resources that contain information other than in written format. According to Bandele (2006), digital information resources are tools that comprise electronic devices which are utilized for information and communication needs of institutions, organization, students and individuals. Such electronic devices include computers (desktop/laptops), internet networking, telephone (handsets/mobile phones), video and multimedia devices. Adegun (2007) revealed that presently in Nigeria, the use of E-learning in the educational sector is still at the rudimentary stage. In this age of information explosion, no student is expected to be left behind, especially students that study information science related courses such as the Health Information Management Students. Digitalization of information has made access to records and information easy and fast. It gives room for unrestricted access to students for relevant information and development in various subject areas. Access to latest text books, journals, books published by reputable scholars in various disciplines is guaranteed for students. The internet provides e-mail services generally utilized for correspondences and dissemination of information. Student read comments from daily mails (newspaper), use chat room where activities take place lively and the use of World Wide Web (WWW) for necessary information (Adebayo, 2007). Digital information or what may be referred to as ICT has increased importance within the school curriculum, support student-teachers in teaching and learning process, enables students to access, share, analyses and present information gained from a variety of sources and in many different ways and encourages active participation in classroom interaction as knowledge is shared (Emenilse, 2003). However, the reverse is what is commonly seen in our institutions of learning. Most students are faced with challenges of sourcing and utilization of digital information resources ranging due to several reasons, which may include inadequate digital facilities. Most of our schools do not have enough functional electronic information resource equipment that can meet the need the need of the rapidly growing student population. Another reason is that the majority of the students are not well trained or skilled with the knowledge of information technology particularly the practical aspect of it. Poor quality service delivery is another reason that poses challenges to our students. This is locally referred to as “No Network”. The evident of poor services develop lack of confidence in the system. Lack of maintenance and regular services or replacement of spare parts when faulty is also a challenge to students. Poor power (electricity) supply has greatly disrupted the smooth running of electronic services so much that most students have resulted to fate, while become nonchalant towards anything digital or electronic. What impact has these on the students and how can some of these reasons be corrected? According to Missen et al (2005), the Internet poses African Universities to gain equal footing with their sister institutions in the more developed countries. It is imperative that Institution of learning be connected if they are not to be rendered irrelevant in the modern academic world. Harold (1998) supported this by saying the weakness of the present situation lies in the absence of a nationally coordinated programme of bibliographical activity, and in the lack of coordination between organisation and institutions with related interest. It is against this background that this study was carried out. Materials and Methods This study was conducted in the School of Health Information Management (SHIM) A.B.U.T.H Zaria. The school is located in the old Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital Tudun Wada Zaria and has a population of approximately 600 students. Stratified proportionate random sampling was adopted using the open and close ended structured questionnaire. The questionnaire was designed after the pattern of Aina (2004). The questionnaire was divided into sections. Section A was on personal data. Section B was as on knowledge and availability of library information resources (LIR) and section C was on the use of LIR, while Section D was on Challenges encountered in the access and use of DIR. The data generated from the questionnaires was analysed by using frequency and simple percentage statistics. Results and Discussion Out of the two hundred and thirty-six (236) questionnaires administered, only two hundred and twelve (212) was eturned correctly completed. Discussion The finding in this study is similar to most studies carried out on utilization of digital resources. The results show that female respondents 136 (64.2%) were more than that of the male 76 (35.8%). The age range of the respondents with the highest percentage (48.1%), was 21-30 year. The respondents 138 (65.1%) with National Diploma Certificate are more than those with other educational qualifications. Text books 158 (40.1%) and Internet facilities 152 (38.6%) constituted the highest percentage of digital resource materials available in the institution. The most frequent channel of accessing Digital Information Resources by the students was by subscription 142 (52.6%). Text books and internet facilities also top the most frequently used DIR with 72 (34.6%) and 46 (22.1%) respectively. The most frequent reasons for using DIR was for academic resources 106 (35.3%) and for information 104 (34.7%). This study also shows that the respondents use the DIR more daily 102 (45.5%) than weekly usage of frequency 54 (24.1%). Eighty two (48.5%) of the respondents were very satisfactory with use of Internet facilities while, 20 (22.2) of the respondents were not satisfied with the use of Audio Visual. The most frequent challenges of accessing DIR reported the students was irregular power supply 100 (31.8 %) followed by Net Work problems 78 (24.8 %). In a recent study conducted by the Global information technology (2005), the report used the Networked Readiness index (NRI) covering a total of 115 economies in 2005-2006, to measure the degree of preparation of a nation or community to participate in and benefit from ICT developments. Nigeria was ranked 90th out of the 115 countries surveyed, united states of America toped the list, followed by Singapore, Denmark, Iceland, Finland, Canada, Taiwan, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom and so on. Also, Nigeria was ranked 86th out of 104 countries surveyed in 2004 (Global information Technology, 2004). This study recorded a general low usage and patronage of digital information resources when compared to results from other part of the world. This, according to Tiefel (2004) may be due to the fact that most library users are unaware of the quality and variety of information available.. Internet is the most frequently used DIR, which is similar to this finding. Falak (2003) reported the rapid growth and use of e-books in school’s colleges and universities in developing countries, which is not the case with finding of this study where text books seem to be the highest. Most of these studies reported high usage of internet resources (De Vicente et al 2004; Falk, 2003). High usage was `attributed to a number of factors including the freely available access, the ease of use and its currency. Gakibayo (2001) and Agaba (2003) carried out a study on e-resources usage at Makerere University of Science and Technology; the results of this study indicated low usage. Zaki (1991), pointed out that the poor library use background by students in using library facilities, had led them to carry this problem with them to Universities and higher institutions. Conclusion The finding from this study suggests that though, the DIR has provided a wider access to global information resources, these resources are not effectively utilized due to varying factors. Recommendation There is need to equip end-users with skills such as information literacy skills, information retrieval skills, computer skills among others as a strategy to promote e-resource usage among medical students.

Wayne State University drops what has been part of its general-education program for all students, raising the question of which fields are needed by all undergraduates. Maxine Joselow June 16, 2016 (iStock) Wayne State University has suspended its requirement that all students take a mathematics course, striking at the heart of a debate over whether math should be a mandatory part of general education. Administrators say they will allow individual departments to develop their own math requirements, while higher education experts and mathematicians hope the public university in Detroit will maintain a broad commitment to quantitative reasoning. The general-education math requirement will be suspended until fall 2018, said Monica Brockmeyer, associate provost for student success at Wayne State. At that point, the university will likely adopt an entirely new general-education program, she said. Under the general-education math requirement, students previously had to complete Math 1000 with a grade of C or above. They could also satisfy the requirement by using comparable transfer credits or obtaining a certain score on the math portion of a standardized test such as the SAT. Administrators decided to suspend the general-education math requirement because it echoed the demands of many high school math requirements, Brockmeyer said. “The level of mathematics preparedness of students coming to Wayne State has been rising in recent years,” she said. “So for more incoming students, our previous math requirement restated requirements that they had had in high school.” The decision also stemmed from recognition that there is no one-size-fits-all math curriculum, Brockmeyer said. “As we committed to looking what students needed from a high-quality, 21st-century education, we realized that students needed a lot more choice beyond the traditional algebra course,” she said. The change will affect a small portion of the student body, Brockmeyer said. Students in majors that are already heavy on math -- such as accounting, chemistry and engineering -- will likely see no changes to their curriculum, she said. But students in the fine arts, humanities and social sciences may gain more flexibility in how to study math. The developments at Wayne State point toward a larger, ongoing conversation on college campuses about integrating general-education requirements with individual majors, said Debra Humphreys, senior vice president for academic planning and public engagement at the Association of American Colleges and Universities. A 2015 survey by the AAC&U found that 58 percent of administrators thought their institution’s general-education program was well integrated with students’ major requirements, with 21 percent reporting that it was very well integrated and 37 percent reporting that it was fairly well integrated. As Wayne State moves forward with the suspension of its general-education math requirement -- and its general-education redesign overall -- it should ensure that all students are graduating with quantitative-reasoning skills, Humphreys said. Quantitative-reasoning skills are vital for college graduates in terms of securing employment and becoming an engaged citizen, she said. “There’s practically no career path today that doesn’t entail some degree of understanding data and being able to quantitatively reason,” Humphreys said. Even simple tasks such as reading a newspaper article on economic policy or managing personal finances require a grasp of quantitative reasoning, she said. Michael Pearson, executive director of the Mathematical Association of America, echoed this sentiment. "Strong quantitative skills are increasingly important in our data-driven world, both for careers and informing decisions ranging the spectrum from health care to retirement planning," he wrote in a statement to Inside Higher Ed. The survey by the AAC&U found that 94 percent of colleges and universities made quantitative reasoning an intended learning outcome for all students in 2015. In comparison, 99 percent of institutions did so for writing skills, and 82 percent did so for oral communication skills. Brockmeyer said the suspension of the general-education math requirement does not reflect a shift away from emphasizing quantitative reasoning. She stressed the fact that Wayne State will still “highly encourage” students to enroll in math courses. "Wayne State University continues to endorse learning in mathematics for all students," the university wrote in an email to students announcing the change. "If you wish to strengthen your mathematics knowledge and skills, you are encouraged to consider enrolling in mathematics courses. MAT 1000, while no longer required for general education, addresses many important applications of mathematics to modern life." Wayne State will also seek to promote quantitative reasoning through the creation of required "quantitative-experience" courses, Brockmeyer said. The General Education Reform Committee called for the creation of these courses in its Proposal for a Revised General Education Curriculum, which it released May 4 and will gather faculty feedback on. The class Math 1000: Math in Today’s World would count as a quantitative-experience course, Brockmeyer said. But so would other courses offered by a range of departments, including those in the humanities, she said. For example, a social science course on inequality in urban areas could include a mathematical component by asking students to gather data and calculate trends over time. The quantitative-experience courses will be developed within departments and approved by an oversight body composed of representative faculty members, Brockmeyer said. The math department will play a consulting role by assisting other departments with developing these courses, she said. "If we're called upon to do that, we're happy to play that role," said Daniel Frohardt, chair of the math department at Wayne State. "In recent years, the focus has been on hiring professors who have knowledge of statistics and how to apply it to other fields. Not all people would be appropriate to consult. But certainly the statistically knowledgeable people would be." Humphreys said she approves of the intent behind the creation of the quantitative-experience courses. “I applaud them for making sure that even students majoring in the humanities will get those skills,” she said. “It will be interesting to see how they design curricular opportunities for those students.” But T. Christine Stevens, associate executive director of meetings and professional services at the American Mathematical Society, said she worries that the math department will not play a central enough role in the development of the quantitative-experience courses. “I’m uneasy that the quantitative-experience courses are going to be offered by other departments,” Stevens said. “As a mathematician, I would ask what tools they would use to look at the data. Would students learn anything from the analysis of the data? If so, who would be teaching them about it?” Stevens’s concerns do not stop there. She also worries that Wayne State is getting ahead of itself by suspending its general-education math requirement before redesigning general education overall in fall 2018. “Before Wayne State even finishes its reconsideration of general education, it’s rushing to eliminate the math requirement,” she said. “It’s been my experience that requirements get revised as a package.” But Brockmeyer said she believes it was necessary to suspend the general-education math requirement now rather than waiting until fall 2018. “Our analysis and our assessment of the situation really showed us that we were not currently serving students as well as we would like to,” she said. “So it was out of a commitment to move forward and provide programs that were most appropriate for students.” Share Article Read more by Maxine Joselow Inside Higher Ed Careers Hiring?

Prospective Buyers are given ample opportunities to view and inspect before any sale and they (and any independent experts on their behalf) must satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of any description applied to a Lot. Prospective Buyers also bid on the understanding that, inevitably, representations or statements by us as to authorship, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or Estimated selling price involve matters of opinion. We undertake that any such opinion shall be honestly and reasonably held and only accept liability for opinions given negligently or fraudulently. Subject to the foregoing neither we the Auctioneer or our employees or agents accept liability for the correctness of such opinions and no warranties, whether relating to description, condition or quality of Lots, express, implied or statutory, are given. Please note that photographs/images provided may not be fully representative of the condition of the Lot and should not be relied upon as indicative of the overall condition of the Lot. All dimensions and weights are approximate only. 2. OUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR OUR DESCRIPTION OF LOTS We do not provide any guarantee in relation to the nature of a Lot apart from our authenticity warranty contained in paragraph E.2 and to the extent provided below. (a) Condition Reports: Condition Reports are provided on our Website or upon request. The absence of a report does not imply that a Lot is without imperfections. Large numbers of such requests are received shortly before each sale and department specialists and administration will endeavour to respond to all requests although we offer no guarantee. Any statement in relation to the Lot is merely an expression of opinion of the Seller or us and should not be relied upon as an inducement to bid on the Lot. Lots are available for inspection prior to the sale and You are strongly advised to examine any Lot in which You are interested prior to the sale. Our Condition Reports are not prepared by professional conservators, restorers or engineers. Our Condition Report does not form any contract between us and the Buyer. The Condition Reports do not affect the Buyer’s obligations in any way. (b) Estimates: Estimates are placed on each Lot to help Buyers gauge the sums involved for the purchase of a particular Lot. Estimates do not include the Buyer’s Premium or VAT. Estimates are a matter of opinion and prepared in advance. Estimates may be subject to change and are for guidance only and should not be relied upon. (c) Catalogue Alterations: Lot descriptions and Estimates are prepared in advance of the sale and may be subject to change.

WITHDRAWAL Lyon & Turnbull may, at its discretion, withdraw any Lot at any time prior to or during the sale of the Lot. Lyon & Turnbull has no liability to You for any decision to withdraw. 4. JEWELLERY, WATCHES, CLOCKS & OTHER ITEMS (a) Jewellery: (i) Coloured gemstones (such as rubies, sapphires and emeralds) may have been treated to enhance their look, through methods such as heating and oiling. These methods are accepted practice but may make the gemstone less strong and/or require special care in future. (ii) All types of gemstones may have been improved by some method. You may request a gemmological report for any Lot which does not have a report if the request is made to us at least three weeks before the date of the sale and You pay the fee for the report in advance of receiving said report. (iii) We do not obtain a gemmological report for every gemstone sold in our sales. Where we do get gemmological reports from internationally accepted gemmological laboratories, such reports may be described in the Sale Particulars. Reports will describe any improvement or treatment only if we request that they do so, but will confirm when no improvement or treatment has been made. Because of differences in approach and technology, laboratories may not agree whether a particular gemstone has been treated, the amount of treatment or whether treatment is permanent. The gemmological laboratories will only report on the improvements or treatments known to the laboratories at the date of the report. (iv) For jewellery sales, all Estimates are based on the information in any gemmological report or, if no gemmological report is available, You should assume that the gemstones may have been treated or enhanced. (b) Clocks & Watches: All Lots are sold “as seen”, and the absence of any reference to the condition of a clock or watch does not imply the Lot is in good condition and without defects, repairs or restorations. Most clocks and watches will have been repaired during their normal lifetime and may now incorporate additional/newer parts. Furthermore, we make no representation or warranty that any clock or watch is in working order. As clocks and watches often contain fine and complex mechanisms, Buyers should be aware that a general service, change of battery or further repair work, for which the Buyer is solely responsible, may be necessary. Buyers should also be aware that we cannot guarantee a watch will remain waterproof if the back is removed. Buyers should be aware that the importing watches such as Rolex, Frank Muller and Corum into the United States is highly restricted.

This royalty will be charged to the Buyer on the Hammer Price and in addition to the Buyer’s Premium. It will not apply to works where the Hammer Price is less than €1,000 (euros). The charge for works of art sold at and above €1,000 (euros) and below €50,000 (euros) is 4%. For items selling above €50,000 (euros), charges are calculated on a sliding scale. All royalty charges are paid to the Design and Artists Copyright Society (‘DACS’) and no handling costs or additional fees are retained by the Auctioneer. Resale royalties are not subject to VAT.

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right. You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here. Why do this? Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog? Because it will help you focus your own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it. The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish. To help you get started, here are a few questions: Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal? What topics do you think you’ll write about? Who would you love to connect with via your blog? If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished? You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas. Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later. When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.

If you are a part of any sewing online community you’ve already seen this dress all over Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest or blogs. It seems everyone has been making Vogue 9253 this summer! Thankfully so, because I almost missed out on this pattern. It wasn’t that I hated it, I just didn’t love it, but that all changed after I saw a few versions of it on actual sewists. It has been so popular that it has been selected for several sewalongs, patterns of the month and even McCall Pattern Company itself is holding a V9253 contest (details here-you still have time). Though the recommended fabrics include crepe backed satin, rayon challis, broadcloth and lightweight jersey I chose this fun abstract Ikat print ITY knit. Unfortunately, this knit has already sold out. Below are a few other knits I think would work well, a similar Ikat print ITY in gold and black (here), a bold bright leaf print ITY (here) or a navy tie die jersey (here). If you prefer to work with wovens I spotted a pretty floral print with a black background in challis (here), a multicolor outline floral challis (here) or a black and white diamond print challis (here). This pattern is a bit of a fabric hog needing up to 4-1/8yd for the midi and 5 yards of 60″ fabric for the maxi depending on your size. That said the most time consuming part of this dress was cutting out the fabric as the maxi has to be cut out on a single layer to accommodate the full skirt. Perhaps this is why I made the error I did. I cut the bodice piece twice without flipping the pattern piece, meaning that I had two right front bodice pieces instead of a left and right. HEADSLAP! Considering I already squeezed 4-1/8 yards worth of pattern pieces on 3-3/4 yds of fabric (last minute project change) I knew I did not have enough fabric to cut another bodice front. After weighing my limited options, I ended up sewing two of the larger scraps together and cut the pattern piece from that patchwork of fabric. Sadly the only way the piece would fit was for me to cut the piece crossgrain. I really HATE that I made this error because I really love this dress and this will always bother me. So learn from me and a always double check your pattern layout when you are cutting single layer fabric! The only saving grace is this pattern is so bright and busy that I’m hoping only the most advanced sewists will notice. As long as you don’t make any silly errors like I did this Very Easy Vogue pattern lives up to it’s category. The most difficult thing would be the bias binding if you’re not familiar with it. I actually omitted this since I was working with a knit and simple folded under the back neck hem. I also omitted the zipper as I can pull the dress over my head. My bodice was a little long making the plunging neckline much too low. I’m not sure if the bodice was truly too long for me or if the weight of the ITY pulled it down. I’ll find out when I find the perfect challis for this pattern and make it again. Whatever the reason, instead of shortening the bodice I decided to add an 1″ wide elastic casing. This solved two problems 1) it shortened the bodice by an inch and 2) it helped to support the weight of the full skirt. I also added belt loops at the side seams and center back to help keep the tie ends in place since I did not sandwich it in the center back seam. I like side loops for sashes anyway. Many may pass over this dress due to the the cleavage baring neckline but this can be easily modified. You can either cross the front bodice pieces over each other creating a slightly wrapped bodice or you can sew the bodice pieces together at the center front to shorten the deep V. Aside from my error I am pleased with the dress and can’t wait to make the midi version with a challis. Have you sewn this pattern? Is it on your to sew list? Pattern: Vogue 9253 Pattern Description: Semi-fitted back zipper opening, attached self-tie and length variations. Plunging neckline Sizing: XS-M and L-XXL, I sewed a medium Difficulty: 2/easy Fabric Used: Ikat print ITY from Fabric Mart (sold out – see similar) Does it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope? Yes Were the instructions easy to follow? Very Likes: Plunging neckline, maxi length, dolman sleeve Dislikes: None. Pattern alterations or any design changes made: I omitted the bias tape and zipper and added an elastic casing and belt loops. Would I sew it again? Yes I want to make the midi version out of the suggest challis. Would I recommend it to others? Definitely. Conclusion: Great caftan-esqe dress pattern for summer that can be transitioned into fall. I also believe depending on fabric choice this can go from swim cover-up to semi-formal gown.

Plethori is Offering Investment Opportunities into Leading Insurance, NFT, and Oracle Sectors - Home News Bitcoin Altcoins Blockchain Business Technologies Connect with us Plethori is Offering Investment Opportunities into Leading Insurance, NFT, and Oracle Sectors Home News Bitcoin Altcoins Blockchain Business Technologies Business Plethori is Offering Investment Opportunities into Leading Insurance, NFT, and Oracle Sectors Published 1 year ago on May 23, 2021 By Anthony Pearcy Share Tweet London, United Kingdom / 23 May 2021 / Plethori, a cryptocurrency ETF investment platform, is offering investment opportunities into leading Insurance, NFT, and Oracle sectors. In the crypto world, investment opportunities are plenty, but can appear scattered and complex. Plethori plans to help solve this problem. As crypto becomes more mainstream, emerging projects are combining the best of the traditional and decentralized markets in order to offer the greatest investment opportunities to serious investors. One such company is Plethori, a one-of-a-kind cross-chain investment platform built on the Ethereum and Polkadot blockchains. Their goal: to deliver Cryptocurrency Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) to the masses via their platforms. Plethori is a Cryptocurrency ETF Investment Platform that allows the open trading and creation of trustless ETFs by utilizing blockchain technology and layer 2 solutions. The service will allow investors to deposit capital in the form of PLE tokens and invest in a wide range of ETFs enabling investment into entire industries in cryptocurrency such as insurance, oracles, NFTs, Derivatives, Polkadot ecosystem projects, and many more. The cross-chain investment platform recently partnered with Shield Finance — a multichain DeFi insurance aggregator. Shield Finance has developed an insurance aggregator which enables investors to protect their portfolio against ‘black swan events such as hacks, exploits, rug pulls, market crashes. The partnership will provide Plethori’s users with the power to insure their investments against negative price movement. Shield Finance will deploy Market Crash Protection contracts to cover the $PLE token. Holders will be able to insure their tokens against loss, giving them the ability to sell their $PLE at a guaranteed price (irrespective of current market price). Plethori also has plans to explore deploying the same insurance contracts to cover their range of available ETFs. Plethori Brings Financial Inclusiveness Soon to be launched on the ethereum layer 2 solution Optimism, Plethori will be able to offer their users ultra-low transaction fees and fast trading whilst maintaining high security. The platform shall also provide ERC-721 integration, rewarding ETF creation and trading achievements and gratifying investment and trading. Plethori will utilize the Ethereum and Polkadot ecosystems, empowering traders by providing a wide range of ETF tokens to trade and invest in. This will allow for the leveraging of technology from both blockchains. The service will allow investors to create fully decentralized ETFs that can then be traded which will earn creators a share of the subsequent transaction fees. The leaderboard system will reward top-performing fund creators with NFTs which give perks on the platform and partner project platforms such as early access to releases and higher staking APY. Some of the key features on the platform include: Metamask Wallet connectivity for trustless non-custodial transactions; Blank Wallet integration for secure, private transactions; ultra-low fees on transactions; margin trading; leveraged trading; advanced charting features; detailed asset information; cryptocurrency market analytics; portfolio management tools; PLE token staking and farming and a lot more. Plethori Governance Plethori Governance is the governance platform and a community forum where PLE token holders will be able to submit proposals and vote on platform changes which will be vetted and executed by using governance contracts. The community will be able to communicate with other equally dedicated members in the tiered groups on the platform and coordinate and propose changes to the Plethori ecosystem. The governance structure will be a complex but fair tiered system with each holder initially holding an equal single vote and their vote growing in value in response to certain factors relating to usage and involvement in the ecosystem. The metrics that will influence the governance tier level and strength of vote are: length of time holding PLE; length of time staking/farming PLE; frequency of usage of the Plethori platform; level of engagement in the Plethori Governance platform, and; community contributions. This system allows for community control, which holds true to the original cryptocurrency ideals of decentralization and democratization. The PLE token will additionally act as a governance token for the platform giving the community the power to direct the development and advancement of their goals. PLE token holders will be able to vote on the platform to determine fund parameters and new features. They’ll also be able to influence decisions concerning the project such as ETF asset rebalancing or listing/delisting of assets. The changes proposed will be vetted and then voted on through the governance platform. Any changes will be applied automatically via smart contracts. Conclusion Plethori is bringing an era of financial inclusiveness through its cross-chain investment platform that offers several investment opportunities via Defi to one and all. Their interoperable platform allows for seamless trading between the Ethereum and Polkadot ecosystems. The platform guarantees more than simply an aesthetically thought-out UI but also an investor-centric feel to create the perfect blend between form and functionality.

Conducted in May 2022, the survey includes responses from 1,000 adult PC, console, and/or mobile gamers in the United States. “Through this survey, we see that although the development of the metaverse is still in its early stages, U.S. gamers already see the technology as capable of expanding the realm of possibility in gaming,” said Nicolas Avila, Chief Technology Officer for North America at Globant. “As knowledge of the metaverse and what it’s capable of becomes more common, we’re looking forward to seeing this sentiment spread to more people across industries.” Key Findings According to the survey, 35% of respondents said they were comfortable with advertising in a metaverse space, while 25% said they were undecided, and 40% were uncomfortable. When surveyed specifically about tracking of eye- and- head movements, nearly half (46%) of respondents reported they would feel uncomfortable with these measurements. Does “free” make a difference? Maybe. Of those surveyed, just under half (44%) would accept advertising in the metaverse if it provides free access to apps, games, or places. Play-to-Earn Surprisingly Resilient The Metaverse Awareness Survey detailed other findings that will be of interest to companies considering play-and-earn models for metaverse games. According to the survey, about half of gamers are more interested in “playing” than “earning” within metaverse games, but a significant number of gamers see value in mixing playing and earning together. The numbers break down as follows: 49% are more interested in playing Only 11% are more interested in earning Nearly 40% would like some mix of both playing and earning within metaverse games Metaverse Change Afoot in the Video Game Industry According to the survey, just over half (52%) of gamers believe the metaverse will change the video game industry and a plurality (41%) think that the metaverse will have a positive impact on the industry (vs. 25% who disagree). In fact, 40% say the buzz around metaverse gaming is warranted, though nearly one-third (30%) were undecided on that subject. It could be a matter of familiarity. While a majority of gamers (60%) are confident in defining the metaverse, familiarity and interaction with the space still needs to mature among this population – just 39% think the gaming metaverse will mature in less than five years, though nearly the same number, 38%, believe it will take longer. Other Findings Who are the top five companies associated with the metaverse? Meta (73%), Epic Games / Fortnite (27%), Roblox (21%), The Sandbox (15%), and Niantic (10%). Who has purchased NFTs? The vast majority (81%) of respondents have not purchased NFTs, with just 16% saying they have done so. Who is interested in purchasing, trading, or earning cryptocurrencies within the metaverse? Slightly more than one-third (34%) of respondents expressed interest in completing cryptocurrency transactions while nearly half (45%) were not interested, leaving 20% undecided. Men (41%) and 18-44-year-olds (37%-47%) expressed higher levels of interest in these transactions. About the Metaverse Awareness Survey As originally envisioned in Neal Stephenson’s novel Snow Crash, the metaverse combines virtual spaces with socialization and transactions, including experiences in the form of video games. Sponsored by Globant and conducted by YouGov, the survey canvassed 1,000 U.S. adults – aged 18 or older – who played more than three hours of video games per week on PC, console, and/or mobile platforms. Mobile-only gamers were screened out of the survey, and data was weighted to be representative of the U.S. non-mobile-only gaming population.

Vesta is the world’s first peer-to-peer marketplace for real estate-backed NFT assets that allows homeowners to easily leverage and sell a portion of home equity while simultaneously advancing housing affordability, economics, and frictionless investor accessibility to residential real estate. Vesta’s solution allows property owners to easily access the value of their holding through tokenization and selling percentages of real estate-backed NFTs to investors on its peer-to-peer marketplace. In turn, investors can browse a searchable marketplace, make offers for desired assets, and leverage liquidity on the secondary market or in the event of the traditional sale of the property. Their goal is a 100% seamless and automated process in which the century-old-complexities of home equity finance are removed. Vesta addresses the issue of real estate affordability while eliminating barriers to the market for all investors, democratizing wealth creation by providing unhindered access to this bedrock of wealth creation. To date, NFTs have been focused largely on digital assets. Vesta Equity directly couples a real-world, tangible asset and established values with the advantages of digital distributed technology. Vesta Equity developed its NFT platform and marketplace on Algorand because it is purpose built as a fully decentralized, scalable, and secure blockchain that surpasses all other platforms thanks to its novel pure proof-of-stake foundation and its focus on enabling the transition from traditional finance models to the distributed future. “Imagine a world where with a few clicks of your mouse you can access the entire accumulated value of the equity in your home without incurring debt or selling and moving,” said Michael Carpentier, CEO of Vesta Equity Inc. “At the other end, investors can participate by purchasing into the future appreciation of the property and build a portfolio of real estate assets like they do with stocks. With the forecasted rising value of residential real estate this is an extremely desirable asset class that we have simplified for anyone to leverage.” “Vesta Equity is totally innovating the home equity market,” said Imran Rahaman, COO of Vesta Equity. “With today’s launch, we become an example of a company using blockchain for what it was designed: to remove friction from traditional exchange of value systems, and to open up new financial opportunities for people everywhere.” For more information on Vesta Equity and their home equity financing solution, please visit: To sign up as a property owner and access the equity in your home or as a property investor to build a portfolio of real estate assets, please visit: Follow us on twitter @vestaequityvpm.

This latest round values the Company at $1 billion, following its $8M Series A which was conducted in August 2021. Dune makes on-chain crypto data accessible and consumable through its community-powered platform. The Company provides state-of-the-art tools that allow data to be extracted, queried, dissected, and visualized in the form of real-time dashboards. Dune will leverage the funds to create an infrastructure that distributes financial rewards for user-generated content, attracting and incentivizing engagement from up to one million new web3 analysts, known as Dune Wizards, within the community. Dune Wizards will not only be able to create customized visualizations that communicate real-time on-chain intelligence, they will also receive financial compensation for their ongoing engagement and contributions. Dune Analytics Co-founder and CEO, Fredrik Haga, commented, “Despite being radically open, web3 data remains largely underutilized. At Dune, we want to make this intelligence readily accessible and reward the analysts working to turn this data into digestible, real-time actionable insights. In legacy finance, only insiders get access to valuable data. Dune supports the next generation of analysts who will neither wear suits nor work for investment banks. Instead, these pioneers will have quirky animals as profile pictures and collaborate openly across the world. Being a Dune Wizard will be both more fun and profitable than being a Wall Street analyst.” Adoption of real-time analytics, dashboard visuals, and automated reporting is thriving throughout legacy finance, having generated ~$14 billion in revenue in 2021. In the crypto community, however, usage is still nascent. Blockchains are a globally shared public backend where thousands of apps and millions of transactions and apps create vast amounts of data every day. This open data represents an opportunity that is many times bigger than any data analytics business or product the world has seen to date. There are a ton of insights in crypto data, but without skilled and incentivized analysts coupled with great data tooling, those insights will remain hidden beneath the surface. Dune Analytics is advancing data literacy across the crypto marketplace, opening up access to insights that are otherwise only made public on a quarterly basis in legacy finance. The Company’s platform currently supports data queries for five blockchains: Ethereum, Polygon, Optimism, Binance Smart Chain and xDAI, with plans to incorporate all Layer-1 and Layer-2 smart contract platforms. “Ever-increasing amounts of capital flows through the crypto ecosystem, in turn producing extremely valuable data. The Dune community is extracting knowledge from this data at scale.

I’ve tried a lot of professionals in this area because I’m an actress but It’s about 4 years, when I met him for the first time when I needed someone special to cut my hair and from the moment when I met him I decided to assume him as the best artisan of the head I ever tried in all my life. Even if I didn’t live any more in Rome I wait the day I’m free and I’m going to Rome Just for this important appointment…many women and men will be understand me! For me it’s a kind of ritual: one day per year it’s booked for me to Giuseppe at his beautiful and elegant saloon in the centre of Rome (very close to Piazza Navona and Piazza Campo de Fiori) to take care of my hairs. When you go to cut or to dye your hair here you could feel as you are floating,shining and meditating: a moment that everybody should concede to themselves sometimes. It’s a cuddle, a caress, it’s magician: for an hour you should just enjoy and trust on him because he never wrong. For me it’s also important, the fact he decided to use a specific organic brand with natural oil essences, called John Master Organic (fabulous!) It’s an experience, I really suggest to you if you need an artisan for your head. Take care of you, Cuidate Prenditi cura di te. Martina S. Rome, Italy I am OBSESSED with the haircut Giuseppe gave me. I came to Rome for a week and decided to get my hair cut because I had hoped that I could find someone better than my stylist in San Diego, and going to headspace was the best decision I’ve made. I used to fly to New York twice every year to get an overpriced haircut that I thought was good, but I’ve never liked a haircut more than the one I got here. Even though the stylist doesn’t speak English, i explained what I wanted and he did beyond my expectations. Love it. Definitely coming back anytime I’m in Roma. Alice K. San Diego, CA Just got the best haircut of my life!! I went based on the reviews here on yelp and I was not disappointed. Giuseppe did an amazing job and it was so fun to experience a salon here in Rome. Laura H. Milwaukee, WI I have my hair blown out once a week so I’m very particular about it my blowdrys! I found Head Space on Yelp and had my hotel book (very straight forward). I was 10mins late but they were very accommodating. Dominic (blond hair lady) wash and blowdry my hair. It was perfect. I walked out feeling fabulous. Also side note they are dog friendly. Tammie B. London, UK Excellent hair cut and style. Love it! Very professional service. Quick response when I made my appt on line. Took me right on time at the salon. Roxann H. St. Joseph, MI This place was wonderful! I had an amazing cut and beautiful blow dry. I will definitely return anytime I’m in Rome (which I hope to be often!) Thank you so much! I highly recommend it! The salon is such a beautiful space too! Jenny G. Santa Monica, CA We have been in Europe for over a month, and needed a haircut. I don’t let anyone touch my hair but my stylist at home. We found this hidden place and thank God we did. He gets a 5 stars because he clearly new what he was doing. World class stylist. I believe he was the owner. Angie-Edgar E. Pomona, CA Amazing overall experience at this salon! I came to Italy knowing I would want to get a haircut but wasn’t sure when I would be able to fit time into my schedule. I emailed the salon the day before my “free day” and they were able to fit me into the schedule. They’re very quick to respond to emails. The haircut itself came out beautiful. I have curly hair, so am typically scared to get my haircut, but was in excellent hands and was very pleased with the results Talia F. Taunton, MA Giuseppe and his team did a terrific job with my haircut and provided coffee and tea as well as letting me charge my iphone and recommend a good restaurant to eat nearby. He is an artist for sure! Vijay C. San Rafael, CA I was very happy with Giuseppe and the staff at Head Space. I arranged for an appointment via the Yelp app, which was very convenient. The atmosphere at Head Space was friendly and welcoming. I had a haircut and colour, Giuseppe did an amazing job, he was very attentive in ascertaining the hair style I wanted; very consultative. He took his time in cutting my hair with attention to detail. I also walked out with a great organic hair product. Thank you. Sebastian C. Semaphore, Australia Hands down the best experience I’ve had. Left with great hair. Will not hesitate to return. Nothing more to say because it was spectacular.

Constructed predominantly from concrete-clad steel, the third (current) Deal Pier is 1,026 ft (311 metres) in length. A notice announces that it is the same length as the RMS Titanic, but that ship was just 882 feet 9 inches (269.06 metres) in length. Three Deal Piers By Gregory Holyoake (1981) [1] Deal has had three piers to delight townsfolk and holidaymakers alike. Many schemes have been put forward over the centuries for the construction of a harbour for the commercial advantage of the town, but none of those plans came to fruition. To land passengers or cargoes on the open beach in an open boat has always proved a risky business particularly when the sea is rough. To overcome this problem a company was established in 1838 to construct a wooden landing pier or jetty as a substitute for a harbour. An Act of Parliament was obtained sanctioning the formation of The Deal Pier Company with a capital of £21,000 and a plot of ground immediately to the north of the Royal Hotel was purchased. The celebrated engineer, Sir John Rennie (1794 - 1874) who had been responsible for the construction of London Bridge, was commissioned to design a pier 445 feet in length. Piling was completed for a length of 225 feet at a cost of £12,000 and a further sum of £8,500 was then raised by the issue of five pound shares. Tolls imposed on goods carried onto the pier brought in further monies. Some of these old tariffs make puzzling reading. Sufficient funds being lacking, however, this first wooden pier was never completed and it remained for many years projecting from the shore, an eye-sore and a constant hazard to shipping. Each year the pier suffered the violence of the winter storms and the structure was weakened still further by attacks from sandworm, peculiar to this coast. Finally, in 1857, a sudden gale brought the whole structure down - almost to the relief of everyone - and the materials when auctioned realised a mere £50. Stone work at the entrance to the pier remained upon the beach for a long time and occasionally wooden stumps which formed part of the lower construction are uncovered during the lowest of neap tides. A short alley leading off nearby Oak Street bears the name Wood Yard where wooden spars and other timber were stored for maintenance of this, the first of Deal's piers. Mr Edward Hayward, originator, editor and proprietor of the Deal Telegram, a weekly newspaper which made its first appearance on 27th January 1858, campaigned indefatigably for the construction of a new pier, both in the columns of his journal and among the townsfolk privately. As a result of his efforts The Deal and Walmer Pier Company Ltd was incorporated in September 1861 and, after another Act of Parliament was obtained, work on this new venture commenced. The structure was designed by Eugenius Birch, civil engineer of London, and the contract for erecting it was entrusted to Messrs R. Laidlaw and Son of Glasgow. In the spring of 1863, Mr Knatchbull-Hugessen, Senior, member for Sandwich, Deal and Walmer, drove the first pile of the new pier in the presence of a large number of townsfolk. Details of the construction were placed in a tin box and deposited in the first column. By August the abutment had been built from stones brought from Sandown Castle which was by then in the course of demolition. The new pier was one thousand feet long, constructed of wrought and cast iron and was supported upon cast iron columns which were screwed into the ground. It had seating accommodation along its entire length, was illuminated by attractive globe-shaped lanterns and had in the centre a tramway for conveying goods and luggage. There were three decks - promenade, fishing and small boat - and at the promenade level was a café-bar and concert hall. The ceremonial opening took place on 14th July 1864, when all the troops of Walmer turned out to line the pier. The Mayor and Corporation, directors and workmen, with the bands of the Royal Marine Depot and the 6th Depot Battalion, paraded the streets and proceeded to the pier, where the Mayor declared the structure open to the public. Mrs Fowler-Burton, wife of the Depot Commandant, was the first lady to pay the toll and pass on to the pier. Building operations were not complete, however, and a further opening ceremony proved necessary. This was performed by Mr Knatchbull-Hugessen on 8th November 1864. The following report accompanied by a fine engraving appeared in The Illustrated London News (19th November 1864): "There was a great concourse of spectators around the flagstaff at the pier-head to witness this ceremony, which was performed by Mrs Hugessen, wife of the borough member, who had herself, in April 1863, inaugurated the commencement of the work. The lady took her seat in a chair which was placed on a truck and drawn along the tramway to the end of the pier. She then declared the pier opened, and congratulated the Deal and Walmer Pier Company, as well as the town of Deal, upon the completion of this useful structure. There was afterwards a banquet at the New Assembly Room. Mr John Attwell, chairman of the company, presided; and among the guests was Lord Clarence Paget, the Secretary to the Admiralty, besides the county and borough members. Lord Clarence Paget highly commended the erection of the pier to give a readier access to the Downs roadstead and hinted that if the charges were not too exorbitant the Government might be disposed to use the Deal pier for the embarkation of troops. It is expected that this accommodation will induce many persons to land at Deal from ships passing up the Channel." The South Eastern Gazette, Tuesday 15 November 1864 at page 11 Deal - Opening of the New Pier The new pier, having reached completion, was formally opened on Tuesday with great éclât, the ceremony being performed by Mrs. E. H. Knatchbull-Hugessen. The pier is constructed entirely of iron; it is 1,100 feet long, 26 feet wide; it has a T shape, and the head is 120 feet long and 50 wide, the abutment being 100 feet by 407. The body of the pier rests on about fifty ornamental iron columns of about 18 inches In diameter, which are screwed into the rock; they are tied horizontally by diagonal braces of wrought iron, and are surmounted by ornamental caps. The pier head, where steamers can be moored alongside in any state of the tide, rests on the same kind of pillars as the body of the pier, but for greater strength they are tied diagonally, vertically, and horizontally, and are surrounded by a timber fender. The work has been executed under the immediate direction of Mr. Reid, the superintendent. Along each side of the pier is ranged a continuous seat, the back formed of an iron network, which forms an elegant finish to the top of the structure. The whole pier is said to be of very great strength. It is wonderfully light in appearance, and from the character of its construction offers a very slight resistance, either to the violence of the wind or the sea. At the entrance there are two very prettily-designed toll-houses, and at the head there is a corresponding shelter house, which it is expected will be used as a reading-room. In every respect it is a work which the town may well be proud of possessing. Mr. J. M'Millan was secretary to the undertaking ; Mr. E. Birch, M.I.C.S., acted as engineer; and Messrs. Laidlaw and Son, of Glasgow,, undertook the actual erection of the pier. At noon on Tuesday a procession was formed at the Naval Yard, and consisted of the directors and shareholders of the company, the workmen of the pier, the various clubs and friendly associations of the town, wearing their honorary distinctions and official regalia, each party being headed by an excellent band. The Worshipful Mayor and municipal body and clergy also co-operated and took a distinguished part in the spectacle. Altogether the sight was very attractive, and the multitude that streamed from all quarters to witness it furnished the best evidence of the interest taken in the event. For a day in bleak November, the weather was as favourable as could be expected. The procession having walked round the town returned to the Clarendon, and thence proceeded to the pier, which had been lined by this time from end to end, through the courtesy of Colonel Fellowes and Major Hughes, with troops, from the dépôt. Flags and banners floated in all directions, and the scene was an exceedingly gay and animated one. A truck was carpeted and decorated, and an easy chair placed in it, and about two o'clock Mrs. Hugessen took her seat upon it, and was drawn by the workmen to the pier-head. Three cheers having been given the Chairman invited the lady to open the pier. Mrs. Hugessen then rose, and said: "I thank you for the honour you have done m in wishing me to take part in the interesting proceedings of this day. I congratulate you upon the successful termination of your undertaking, the result of which we see in this beautiful pier. I hope it will contribute to the prosperity of your town, in which I feel I shall always take so much interest. I have much pleasure in declaring the pier now opened." [loud cheers]. Three cheers were then given for Mrs. Hugeseen, for the county and borough members, for the contractor, the engineer, and the company. The National Anthem having then been sung, Mr. M'Millan, addressing Mrs. Hugessen, said "Madam, I have the honour to inform you that at a full meeting of the directors and officers of the company it was resolved unanimously that the most cordial thanks of the board be conveyed to Mrs. Hugessen for her kindness in consenting to attend and formally open their structure which was so happily commenced by Mr. Hugessen in April 1863, and that Mrs. Hugessen be requested to accept a pictorial illustration of the pier as a memorial of the auspicious event; the same to bear the signatures of the chairman, directors and officers of the company." Mrs. Hugessen was then drawn back to the entrance to the pier, and this brought the proceedings at the pier to a close. A large party afterwards sat down to dinner at the New Assembly Rooms ; Mr. Outwin, of the Clarendon, providing an excellent dinner. Mr. John Atwell, the chairman of the company, presided, and there were present Lord Clarence Paget, M. P., Sir Brook Bridges, M. P., Sir E. Dering, M. P., Mr. Hugessen, M. P., Mr. Laidlaw:, Mr. E. Birch, Mr. Browne, Mr. M'Millan, the Mayor (W. M. Cavell, Esq.) and members of the Corporation of Deal, and several of the most influential inhabitants. After the cloth had been removed, the usual loyal toasts were drank, followed by the "Army, Navy and Volunteers". Colonel Fowler responded for the army, and Lord Clarence Paget for the navy. In the course o f his remarks, his Lordship said, from the erection of this pier, whenever it was necessary to collect a squadron in the Downs they had an easy and facile access to the shore; this pier would be of the greatest importance in rendering communication with the ships in the Downs perfectly secure. As a public officer he must say they had a considerable garrison, they had a magnificent body of marines and a considerable depôt of troops in this district, and he should recommend them so to frame their charges that they would tempt the government to embark troops from this pier. They had now the pier: they would shortly no doubt have good houses where the Naval Yard now stood, and Deal might then well become the rival of Dover and Ramsgate. The Chairman having proposed "The Bishops, Clergy and Ministers of all Denominations", to which the Rev. T. L. Griffith responded. Sir Brook Bridges, in giving the health of "The Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports", expressed his sincere congratulations to the town and all connected with the enterprise, on the successful completion of this important work. The Chairman next proposed "The Health of Mrs. Hugessen", which was drunk with much cheering. Mr. Hugessen returned them most sincere thanks on behalf of Mrs. Hugessen, and then went on to propose "Success to the Deal Pier". Although it was always a pleasure to come amongst them he never rose with feelings of greater or more unqualified satisfaction to address his constituents than he did that night. He recognised in the proceedings of that day the fact that Deal was about to take her proper place among the seaport towns; the spirit of improvement was abroad, and they might look to the future for increased prosperity. Mr. Davison briefly returned thanks. Mr. E. Browne then proposed "The County and Borough Members". Lord C. Paget responded, and gave "The Mayor and Town Council of Deal". The Mayor (Mr. W. M. Cavell) briefly replied, expressing his great satisfaction that the pier was completed so nobly. Mr. Hughes proposed "The Chairman and the Directors of the Pier" to which the Chairman briefly responded. Mr. Hugessen gave "The Engineer (Mr. E. Birch), the Secretary (Mr. J. M'Millan), the Solicitors, and the Superintendent (Mr. Reid )". Mr. Birch, in a very neat speech, responded; and some toasts of a minor character having been disposed of, the party broke up. Sad to relate, this new venture did not turn out to be the success that had been anticipated and in 1866 the Pier Company was wound up. As a large amount of money was still owing to the contractors, the pier eventually passed into their hands. The constructional engineers finished, managed and improved the pier over a period of 54 years after which time (1920) the Deal Borough Council purchased it for £10,000. Although some of the local mariners considered the new structure to be a danger to shipping and hoped that it might soon be 'unscrewed', the benefits from this pier were generally appreciated by townsfolk and seafarers alike. Provisions and water were supplied from here to vessels in the Downs and a fair number of passengers landed with an assortment of cargo besides. One enthusiast, commenting on the "beauty, solidity and elegance of the structure", considered further the pier to be "a most charming retreat when in search of health from the penetrating effects of sea breezes. Here, on this Pier, one can imagine himself on the deck of some huge vessel in the Downs at anchor, enjoying the invigorating and life-giving effects of a sea voyage in the Channel." A guide book of 1874 described some of the facilities available: "… at the very entrance is a reading-room where you may read all the London papers, the local journals - for the small charge of one penny. At the end of the pier are salt baths, where those who fear to trust themselves alone in the water may with perfect safety obtain all the medicinal advantages of the sea-water bathe. The pier itself is a splendid marine parade, and here the society of Deal do congregate at all hours of the day. Everything is done to cheer them, and make their maritime pedestrian agreeable, for during the seaside season a band, paid for by the inhabitants, plays morning and evening a selection of the best airs of the Cecilian art." Angling, of course, remained the principal attraction. The Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News for Saturday, 10th December 1892, carried two large drawings of Deal fishermen in its centre pages and compared the sporting qualities of two local late autumn fish: "The silver whiting is one of the gamest of sea fish, and much resembles the river perch in its bold biting and plucky struggles to escape ... no prettier sport can be had. The codling, although a heavier fish, simply gives two or three plunges, and then seems to open his capacious mouth and take in as much of the surrounding water as he can encompass, to assist him in putting on as much dead strain as possible to check your persuasive efforts." The correspondent continues: "One of the best places for pier fishing on our south-east coast is Deal. Here the angler will find all his wants supplied, every kind of bait necessary being furnished on the pier, under the superintendance of the genial pier master, Mr Lawrence." The Pier Master was, naturally, a much respected personage in the town and a dignified figure he cut in his elaborate nautical-style uniform. One of the most jovial of the breed was Mr George Rivers who, in the slow moving days prior to World War One, was often to be seen parading the pier in the company of his faithful hound. Tragedy struck the pier on several occasions. In 1871 occurred the sad loss of a renowned local lugger, 'Reform', which was launched in a gale to answer a distress signal. Weather conditions were so appalling that the moment to cast off the rope could not be accurately timed. Disastrously, the famous lugger was pulled around onto the pier where it sank between the piles with the loss of eight members out of a crew of eleven. Nobly, the pier survived buffetings from other ships. During a storm in January 1873 the barque 'Merle' hit and badly damaged the structure and in the same month, 1884, the schooner 'Alliance' crashed into the pier and carried away several columns. But it was the incident involving the Dutch ship 'Nora' which signalled the end of Deal's second pier. The 350 ton motor-driven vessel 'Nora' carrying a cargo of straw boards, had been anchored about a mile off shore when on the morning of 29th January 1940 she was struck by a drifting magnetic mine and a huge hole was blown in her stern. The cook was injured when the galley was demolished, the captain and mate were hurt in the wheelhouse and a crewman was blown overboard by the force of the explosion. Fortunately, he managed to keep himself afloat before being picked up by a patrol boat. The same vessel rescued the remainder of the crew while salvage tugs took the 'Nora' in tow and succeeded in beaching her fifty yards southwards of the pier. There she lay for some time almost completely submerged but the rising tide lifted her from the beach and, as the flood tide gathered strength, the danger to the pier became apparent. Several stragglers who happened to be on the promenade deck raced ashore in time to watch horrified as the 'Nora' crashed broadside into the pier. A heavy sea and a strong tide repeatedly hurled the crippled vessel against the shore end of the pier which withstood the buffeting for some while and then collapsed. Finally, the 'Nora' was driven clean through the structure and came to rest on the beach just northwards of the pier carrying part of the wreckage with it. Many attempts were made to float the 'Nora' but without success and during the early part of the war she remained a pathetic spectacle lying upside down beside the pier she had mortally wounded, until the tides and rough seas carried her further northwards. The remaining two-thirds of the pier was blown up later that year by the Royal Engineers because it obstructed the field of fire of coastal guns erected on the sea front after the fall of France. The decision to demolish the pier was probably taken by Churchill himself who had visited the town to appraise our coastal defences. In the spring of 1943 a brick-built lookout post was erected at the entrance to the pier and all that remained of this fine structure were the twin Victorian toll-houses which had featured in so many pictures of the pier throughout its eventful history. The third Deal pier - the only pleasure pier to be constructed since the war - is built on the site of the one it replaces. It was officially opened on Tuesday, 19th November 1957 by H.R.H. Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. The band of the Royal Marines, a Guard of Honour and a very large concourse of people attended the grand opening ceremony. A presentation key made by Thomas Fattorini can be seen in the Town Hall. The design of this ceremonial key embodies the Ducal Coronet in silver gilt and enamel, and the Arms of the Borough on both sides, parcel gilt in blue and red enamel. A trident and rope border denote Deal's maritime associations. The present pier was designed by Sir William Halcrow and Partners, the Council's consultant engineers, to the requirements of the Council, and was built by Concrete Piling Ltd. Constructed of reinforced concrete it has a one thousand feet stem with almost one third of a mile of open seating. At seaward end of the approach is a three deck pier head set at right angles to the approach and parallel to the coast. At promenade level there is a lounge café, bar and terraced area. Below is the main landing and fishing deck with angled wings to increase berthing facilities for pleasure steamers. At the lowest level there is a 'half-tide' small boat landing deck beneath each wing area. Total cost: £250,000. Recent storms have wrought havoc with the piers at Herne Bay and Margate, leaving Deal the only remaining pleasure pier in Kent. An invigorating stroll along its stem is rewarded by a spectacular panorama of the coastline stretching from Kingsdown Cliffs southwards to an extensive sweep of Thanet in the north. And, in between, is the enchanting townscape of Deal with its orderly row of quaint 18th and 19th century cottages - each with a different arrangement of doors and windows and an individually-shaped roof - interspersed with local landmarks: the Royal Marines Barracks, time ball tower and three low, squat Tudor fortresses, behind which peer the numerous cupolas and spires of churches and chapels beyond. Pleasure craft and local fishing boats frequent home waters while hovercraft from Pegwell Bay skim the Goodwins and cross-Channel ferries make their more leisurely crossing from the shelter of Dover Harbour to the dimly-viewed coast of France. Deal Pier 2.1 David Chamberlain The 1945 landing stage was situated near the Queen's flats by Deal Castle Copyright © David Chamberlain 2017 First fishing competition on Deal Pier 3 by David Chamberlain The Deal & Walmer Angling Association, in conjunction with the National Federation of Sea Anglers, held a fishing competition on Deal Pier III a month before it was officially opened by Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. Over a period of three days that the festival was held, a total of 280 anglers took part. The October weather of 1957 was partially subdued; with sunshine and a lack of wind for each day's fishing. This might have been the cause for not having a spectacular catch rate, although 875 fish were caught for a total weight of 411 lb 3 oz (186.512 kg). The festival took on an international theme with anglers from France attending, lead by Monsieur Hautin, president of the French Sea Angling Federation. Monsieur Mathieu, a member of the Institute Committee of International Competitions, won one of the major prizes, the Petch Cup, for the heaviest aggregate of round fish. He brought a total weight of 6 lb 5 oz (2.863 kg) to the scales. Stan Culver - Deal Pier's most successful angler Alderman Albert Cavell, chairman of Deal Council's Entertainment Committee and Deputy Mayor, pointed out that this was the first time that the new Pier had been opened to the general public. Along with the clement weather it had attracted 11,000 people who visited the Pier over the three day fishing festival. Alderman Cavell had fished the competition and landed a total of 20 fish. He had spent time on the Pier during its construction and was pleased to hear many encouraging comments from both the visitors and anglers over the three days of fishing. He stated that he hoped that this would be the start of many more angling festivals in the town. The most successful angler of the competition was Stan Culver from Margate. An angler all his life - since the age of five - he carried off four cups and five prizes. He had competed in many sea angling matches all over the country and had even taken a trophy at the French National Championships at Arromanches. Over the following years Stan was a regular match angler on the Pier and beaches until his death in 1974, aged 72. He taught his grandson, Dave Andrews, some of his angling skills and who has excelled in the competitive scene and is still a top class match angler. Dave Andrews, whose grandfather (Stan Culver) won the inaugural fishing festival on Deal Pier III The town Mayor, Councillor Dunn presented the trophies and prizes to the winners. He stated that Deal was to be honoured by the presence of the Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh on the 19th of November to open the £250,000 new Pier. He also said that, after a 17 year lapse during which the town had not had one, the Pier would be the finest asset of the seaside resort. From 1957 the Pier has held many hundreds of fishing competitions. The three day events were phased out in the early 1960s into two day festivals. Nowadays, single events are more in line with the anglers' demands and there is still plenty of fish to be taken. Over the years lost tackle has mounted-up snagging anglers' lines resulting in losses. Occasionally the seabed around the Pier is dragged by a boat to remove these hazards; however, it is a problem that is lived with. There will be a celebration of the Pier's Diamond Jubilee on Sunday, 19th of November with an open fishing competition hosted by Deal & Walmer Angling Association (details to follow). Copyright © David Chamberlain 2017 Nora - 1940 The Daily Express, Tuesday 30 January 1940 at page 5 Drifting Nazi Mine Makes New Seaside 'Show' Rush to See it Bobbing up and down, buffeted by the waves, a large German mine drifted towards the pier at a south-east coast town yesterday. Nearer and nearer it came. People were ordered from the pier. Others were told to leave the seafront. From a safe distance they watched the mine drift. It reached the pier. It went under the pier. Miraculously, it seemed, it danced in and out among the pier piling without hitting it. The waves took the mine nearer the beach. The watchers retreated, their eyes glued on the floating black object. They put their hands over their ears, crouching, waiting for what might happen as the mine made the last few feet of its journey. For some minutes, with waves breaking over it, the mine lay on the beach, rocking gently to and fro. Then experts dealt with it. The mine was one of many washed ashore at this south-east town during the night and evening. In spite of them only one ship was struck - the Dutch motor-vessel Nora (350 tons), about a mile and a quarter from the shore. After being mined the Nora was towed shorewards and left lying on the sea bed fifty yards from the pier head with only her mast above water. Suddenly she came to life again, crashed through the pier, tore away the piling, promenade deck and upper structure, leaving a gap eighty to 100 yards wide. All six members of the crew were rescued, however. The cook, Heinrich Hes, was taken to hospital. He was buried in the debris when the explosion wrecked his galley. The Daily Mirror, Tuesday 30 January 1940 at page 2 Watched Mines Dodging Piles of Pier Crowds on shore watched a large German mine bob up and down through the maze of the piling underneath the pier of a south coast town yesterday. As the waves brought the mine nearer the beach - narrowly missing pile after pile - the people walked backwards. The last few feet of its journey were watched in silence by the crowd - some half crouched, hands over ears - waiting for what might happen. For a few minutes it rocked gently in the surf until experts arrived and made it harmless. Many mines were washed ashore during the night and morning. A drifting mine blew a small Dutch vessel, the Nora, into halves. Ashore, people were shaken in their beds. Driven Through Pier The Nora's stern was blown away and she began to sink so rapidly that only her bow was sticking out of the water when a salvage tugboat raced alongside. Her crew managed to make the hawser fast to the bow. By sheer force the tugboat towed the rapidly sinking ship to the shore. All the Nora's crew are believed safe and on board-another salvage vessel. Later, the rising tide lifted the ship further inshore and drove her through a pier. The pier, cut in two, had a huge gap between seventy to a hundred yards wide at the shore end. The Daily Worker, Tuesday 30 January 1940 A small Dutch coastal vessel the Nora, struck a mine off the south-east coast yesterday, but was saved from sinking by a salvage tug. The tug's crew succeeded making a hawser fast and although the Dutch vessel's anchor was down, managed by sheer brute force to tow her until she was beached. It is believed that all her crew were saved by another vessel. The Yorkshire Post, Tuesday 30 January 1940 Dutch Vessel Mined Seeing the Dutch motor vessel Nora (351 tons) sinking rapidly after striking a mine off the South-East Coast early yesterday, a salvage tug dashed to her aid and, by a brilliant feat of salvage work, saved her from actually foundering. The crew of six were landed, three of them injured. The explosion shook people in their bed at a town on the coast. The Nora began to sink so quickly that only her bow was showing when the tugboat raced alongside and, by sheer force, towed her close to the shore. Later the rising tide lifted the Nora and drove her clean through the pier. The Third Pier - 1957 The Daily Express, Wednesday 20 November 1957 at page 9 The Man I Saved by Prince Philip Prince Philip opening a new £250,000 pier at Deal, Kent, yesterday, said: "I find I have a link with Deal - I helped to rescue your pier master." To Captain Arthur Harris, the pier master, he said: "Yes, I remember you. You're the chap who had the curious cargo." Later, Captain Harris explained: "I was first officer in a tanker blown up by a mine in the Thames approaches in April 1943. Our cargo was petroleum jelly, which was kept liquefied by the boilers. As the tanker broke in two, petroleum jelly poured out and solidified in a layer quite five feet thick on the top of the waves. "As we rowed through this the destroyer Wallace came along. A fair haired lieutenant helped us up the scramble nets. Later I asked who he was. I was told: 'Lieutenant Philip.'" The Daily Mirror, Wednesday 20 November 1957 at page 2 Not Keen The Duke of Edinburgh has an aversion for long piers, particularly Southend Pier, the longest in the world. He said so yesterday when he was opening the new £250,000 pier at Deal. It's a mere 900 ft. Said the Duke: "I was very fond of piers as a child, but since I had to walk the whole length of Southend Pier (one and a third miles) during the war to get back to my ship, I haven't cared for them so much."

Emma Jane was my great grandmother and she is shown here with her two daughters.

The other people are presumably people local to Deal, hiring out boats at the time. Mr Turner's paintings of our town By Gregory Holyoake, East Kent Mercury: 20 November 2014 Mr Turner, the film starring Timothy Spall as William Turner, Britain's finest marine artist, has been received with great acclaim. Turner (1775 - 1851) was introduced to Kent when he was sent from London as a young boy to stay with relatives. As a mature artist, he returned repeatedly to the coast, particularly Margate, where he was attracted by its spectacular sunsets. Eventually, he began a lifelong liaison with a wealthy widow, Sophia Booth, who kept a guest house on Margate seafront. From there, Turner - a grotesque, portly figure carrying his easel and umbrella that doubled as a fishing rod - traipsed around the coastline gaining inspiration for his spectacular seascapes. Deal is fortunate in owning an original painting by Turner; Deal in a Storm (1824) hangs in the Mayor's Parlour of the Town Hall. Its purpose was to be turned into an engraving for the series, Picturesque Views of the Southern Coast of England. This exquisite watercolour presents a dramatic scene on Deal beach after a violent storm. Boatmen hastily prepare boats to be launched in a heavy sea to salvage a shipwreck on the Goodwin Sands. Wind-torn flags on their tall masts stand out against a louring sky, illuminated by a streak of ribbon lightning. This is the only instance where Turner introduces a full flash of lightning into one of his paintings. Surprisingly, Turner achieves a powerful effect by employing pastel shades - pinks, creams and greys. His meticulous details include the sails of the hovelling luggers, the design of the signal flags, the crumbling buildings with their smoking chimneys and curvilinear gables, and, in the far distance, the tiny silhouette of Sandown Castle. Deal in a Storm Joseph Mallord William Turner (1825, watercolour) Deal boatmen are shown readying a boat for launching with wreck floating nearby Mayor's Parlour, Deal Town Hall The artist made copious notes in preparation for this painting. His sketchbook survives and is preserved in the Tate Gallery. It includes vignettes of the Royal Naval Hospital, Walmer Road windmill, the Royal Exchange Hotel and the Royal Signalling Station (now the Timeball Tower) relaying a message in semaphore. Later, Turner, back in his London studio, worked up his sketches of the North End of Deal into a purely imaginary scene that perfectly conveys the atmosphere of our bustling port. Whilst at Deal, Turner took the opportunity to be rowed out to the Goodwin Sands. There he watched a cricket match organised by Captain Martin, harbour master of Ramsgate. His hastily chalked sketch is preserved at Yale Centre for British Art, Connecticut. Deal Joseph Mallord William Turner (circa 1826 - 1828) Walker Gallery Liverpool Deal appears a second time as the subject for a Turner painting; Deal (circa 1826 - 1828) hangs in the Walker Gallery, Liverpool. Here the artist presents a turbulent scene where a Deal lugger is battling to reach a cluster of sailing ships caught in a sudden storm. Once again, the painting was intended for reproduction in a series of engravings. Its collective title, Harbours of England, is a misnomer because, of course, Deal never possessed a harbour. Two further paintings of Deal by Turner recently came to light; Off Deal is held by the National Museum of Sweden, Sailing Boat off Deal by the National Museum of Wales. Both these canvasses, painted late in life, are highly impressionistic. Features of the port are impossible to discern. Off Deal J. M. W. Turner (circa 1835 - 1845) National Museum Stockholm Posing as Mr Booth, Turner moved, in middle age, to a Thameside house at Chelsea. His mistress, Sophia, retained a guest house in Deal. It was here that the pair removed when Turner contracted cholera from which, due to his robust constitution, he recovered. Despite Mr Turner's evident fortune, however, the doctor, summoned from Thanet, complained bitterly that he had never once received payment from the artist for his services.

Young at pages 195 to 199 Chapter V History of Sea-Fisheries … A Select Committee of the House of Commons was appointed in 1833 to inquire into the state of the British Channel Fisheries … The appointment of the committee in 1833 arose out of the distress which was at that time said to affect the several Channel fisheries, and, in its reports, the committee stated that these fisheries were generally in a very depressed state and on the decline; that they appeared to have been gradually sinking since the peace of 1815; that the capital employed did not yield a profitable return; that the number of vessels and of the people to whom it gave employment was diminished; and that the fishermen who formerly could maintain themselves and their families by their industry were in a greater or less degree pauperised. The cause of this unfavourable change, to which, as being in its opinion the most readily susceptible of remedy, the committee gave its principal attention, was the interference of the fishermen of France and Holland; but the principal cause of the distress was stated to be "the great and increasing scarcity of all fish that breed in the Channel" compared with what was the ordinary supply forty years since; operating prejudicially to the fisherman, at the same time that a continual fall of prices has taken place in the markets. This fall of prices could not have occurred in consequence of any scarcity in the supply. That there was a diminished quantity taken by the English fishermen might possibly have been true; but considering that the supply in our markets was actually increased, so as to provide our growing population at progressively decreasing prices, I can only account for the facts adduced by the committee by supposing that the foreign fishermen, of whose interference such grievous complaint was made, were better skilled and more persevering in their calling than our own countrymen; a supposition which seems to be borne out by the circumstances of our having, since this report was delivered, been still more abundantly supplied with fish for our tables; while the cry of distress on the part of the fishermen has passed away, doubtless owing to the greater degree of skill and industry which they have since exerted. A complaint, the opposite to that brought forward by the committee, was preferred against our fishermen by the owners of the boats, who alleged that, having advanced all the capital necessary for the undertaking, and having probably also contributed to the support of the men during the dead season, under the faith of an agreement to receive at stipulated prices all the produce of their nets, the men so bound to them sold a considerable part of the fish which they had taken to boats dispatched from the coast of France. [2] These circumstances have been mentioned because a great and it is thought a groundless impression was created by the result of the inquiry of 1833, which inquiry, it has been alleged, was undertaken to satisfy the desires of certain interested parties, who wished to make out a case for the interference of government. One branch of fishing wholly different in its objects from all the other branches has been described by the committee of 1833 under the title of the Stow Boat Fishery. This fishing prevailed principally upon the Kentish, Norfolk, and Essex coasts: was the catching of sprats, not for food, but as a manure for the land, for which there is always a constant demand. [3] This branch of fishing was represented by the committee to have much increased, and to have given employment on the Kentish coast alone to from 400 to 500 boats, which remained upon the fishing grounds frequently for a week together, and until each had obtained a full cargo of dead fish. The facility which the pretence of employing these vessels in fishing gave the smugglers led to an Act of Parliament, 6 Geo. IV, c. 108 [4], under which vessels and boats of certain descriptions required to be licensed by the commissioners of the customs. The licenses thus granted specified the limits beyond which vessels were not allowed to be employed: this distance was usually four leagues from the English coast; and it was affirmed that our fishermen were injured by this restriction, because some valuable fishing grounds laid beyond the prescribed limits, and were thus abandoned to foreigners. [2] Editor's note: The first of the two scams - Kentish boatmen would sell their catch twice; firstly, to their onshore investors before they set sail and, secondly, to French fishermen before they returned to shore all the while complaining that overfishing by the French and Dutch was causing stocks to dwindle. [3] Editor's note: The second of the two scams - Kentish boatmen, at sea for five days fishing for sprats to sell as fertiliser, would hide contraband under a boat-load of five-day old rotting fish in the reasonable expectation that the smell would deter customs officers from carrying out a thorough search of the boat. This scam is still employed today to smuggle contraband into the UK and, in May 2016, a Polish lorry driver, Pawel Michal Maroszek, was caught smuggling 2.6 million fake cigarettes worth £655,327 into the UK hidden behind boxes of rotten apples and was sentenced in October to 21 months in prison. [4] Editor's note: 6 George IV, chapter 108 - An Act for the Prevention of Smuggling (5th July 1825) can be viewed here. The statute came into force on 5th January 1826. Section 2 provided for the forfeiture of any British-owned vessel with contraband on board found within (a) 12 nautical miles of the coast between North Foreland and Beachy Head, (b) 24 nautical miles of any other part of the coast or (c) found to have been within said distances "not proceeding on her voyage, wind and weather permitting", and section 20 provided for forfeiture of unlicensed British-owned vessels ("not square-rigged") found within those distances. "The Fine Art of Smuggling: King's Cutters vs. Smugglers (1700-1855)" (2008) E. Keble Chatterton at pages 96, 97 and 111 to 113 By the summer of 1807 smuggling in England and Wales had increased to what the Commissioners of Customs designated as an "alarming extent". An Act was therefore passed to ensure the more effective prevention of this crime, and once again the revenue officers were exhorted to perform their duty to its fullest extent. Further, they were threatened with punishment in the case of any dereliction, while rewards were held out as inducements to zealous action. Under the new Act powers were given to the Army, Navy, Marines and Militia to work in concert with each other for the purpose of preventing smuggling, for seizing smuggled goods, and all implements, horses and persons employed or attempting to bring these ashore. The lack of vigilance, and even the collusion with smugglers, on the part of Revenue officials was still too real to be ignored. Between Dover and Rye, especially, were tobacco, snuff, spirits and tea run into the country to a very considerable extent. And the Government well knew that "in some of the towns on the coast of Kent and Sussex, amongst which are Hastings, Folkestone, Hythe and Deal, but more especially the latter, the practice of smuggling is carried on so generally by such large gangs of men, that there can exist no hope of checking it but by the constant and most active vigilance of strong military patrols, with parties in readiness to come to their assistance". So wrote Mr. W. Huskisson, Secretary to the Treasury, to Colonel Gordon in August 1807. The Deal smugglers went to what Mr. Huskisson called "daring lengths", and for this reason the Treasury suggested that patrols be established within the town of Deal, and for two or three miles east and west of the same. And the Treasury also very earnestly requested from the Commander-in-chief every possible assistance from the Army. It was observed, also, that so desperate were these smugglers that, even when they had been captured and impressed, they frequently escaped from the men-of-war and returned to their previous life of smuggling. To put a stop to this the Treasury made the suggestion that such men when captured should be sent to ships cruising at distant foreign stations … … It was the frequent practice of East Indiamen to arrive in the Downs and sell quantities of tea to the men who came out from Deal in small craft. The commodity could then be kept either for the use of their families and sold to their immediate friends, or sent up to London by the "duffers" in the manner we spoke of in an earlier chapter. In the instances when spirits were smuggled into the country there was usually some arrangement between the publicans and the smugglers for disposing of the stuff. But, you may ask, how did the Deal boatmen manage to get the tea to their homes without being seen by the Customs officers? In the first place it was always difficult to prove that the men really were smugglers, for they would be quite wide-awake enough not to bring obvious bales ashore; and, secondly, the Deal men had such a reputation as desperate characters that no officer, unless he was pretty sure that a smuggling transaction was being carried on and could rely, too, on being well supported by other Customs men and the soldiers, would think of meddling in the matter. But, lastly, the men who came ashore from the East Indiamen had a smart little dodge of their own for concealing the tea. How the Deal boatmen used to smuggle tea ashore The accompanying picture is no imaginary instance, but is actually taken from an official document. The figure is supposed to represent one of these Deal boatmen, and the numerals will explain the methods of secreting the tea. Indicates a cotton bag which was made to fit the crown of his hat, and herein could be carried 2 lbs of tea. He would, of course, have his hat on as he came ashore, and probably it would be a sou'wester, so there would be nothing suspicious in that. Cotton stays or a waistcoat tied round the body. This waistcoat was fitted with plenty of pockets to hold as much as possible. This was a bustle for the lower part of the body and tied on with strings. These were thigh-pieces also tied round and worn underneath the trousers. When all these concealments were filled the man had on his person as much as 30 lbs of tea, so that he came ashore and smuggled with impunity. And if you multiply these 30 lbs by several crews of these Deal boats you can guess how much loss to the Revenue the arrival of an East Indiamen in the Downs meant to the Revenue. Some time back we called attention to the way in which the Deal boatmen used to walk ashore with smuggled tea. About the year 1834 a popular method of smuggling tea, lace, and such convenient goods was to wear a waistcoat or stays which contained eighteen rows well stuffed with 8 lbs. weight of tea. The same man would also wear a pair of drawers made of stout cotton secured with strong drawing strings and stuffed with about 16 lbs of tea. Two men were captured with nine parcels of lace secreted about their bodies, a favourite place being to wind it round the shins. Attempts were also made to smuggle spun or roll tobacco from New York by concealing them in barrels of pitch, rosin, bales of cotton, and so on. In the case of a ship named the Josephine, from New York, the Revenue officers found in one barrel of pitch an inner package containing about 100 lbs of manufactured tobacco. Another old dodge, though different in kind, was employed by a smuggling vessel when at sea and being chased towards evening, or on one of those days when the atmosphere is hazy or foggy. To prevent her canvas from being seen against the horizon, the lugger would lower her sail, and her black hull was very difficult to distinguish in the gathering gloom. Treachery, crookedness, deceit, trickery, guile … Deal! The History and Topographical Survey of the County of Kent (1800) Edward Hasted Volume 10 at page 1 "The town and parish of Deal lies adjoining to Sholdon north-eastward, being written in ancient writers, both Dola [5] and Dale; in the survey of Domesday, Addelam, taking its name from its situation - a low open plain upon the seashore." Eastern Kent has changed considerably since Roman-British times; the Wantsum Channel has completely silted up, connecting the Isle of Thanet to the mainland and the Claudian bridgehead port at Richborough now lies 2 miles (3.2 km) from the sea. Historians have often questioned why Julius Cæsar did not use the natural harbour at Richborough for either of his British expeditions, particularly the second one, and landed instead on the shingle beach between Deal and Walmer Castle. The only possible answer must be that the harbour did not exist in 54 BC, but by the Claudian invasion almost one-hundred years later (in AD 43) the harbour had been created, possibly by the titanic forces of a particularly violent - though unrecorded - winter storm. Eastern Kent AD 43 adapted from "The Cantiaci" by Alec Detsicas (page 34, figure 7) [5] Nennius (a Welsh monk of the 9th century attributed with authorship of the Historia Brittonum) says "Cæsar ad Dola bellum pugnavit" ("Cæsar fought a battle at Deal"). William Baxter (1650 - 1723), in his "Glossarium Antiquitatum Britannicarum" published in 1719, suggests that this place was anciently so called from the crookedness of the shore; Dol being the same in the British, as (Dolos) in the Greek. In Greek mythology, Dolos is the spirit of trickery and guile; bait (figuratively), deceit (trickery) using bait to "hook" people; "deceit motivated by guile") uses decoys to snare (deceive) people which implies treachery to exploit the naïve, from δέλω (delo) to catch with a bait). Dolos is also a master at cunning deception, craftiness, and treachery. He is an apprentice of the Titan Prometheus, and Pseudologi. His female counterpart is Apate who is the goddess of fraud and deception. He was parented by the Gaia and Ather or Erebos and Nyx. Dolos became known for his skill when he attempted to make a statue of Veritas, again in order to trick people into thinking they were seeing the real statue. But he ran out of clay, which he was using to create the statue, and had to leave the task unfinished as he quaked in fear while his skill-master overviewed his attempt at deceitfulness. But to his surprise, Prometheus was amazed at the similarity between the statues - then Dolos became the master at his crafty and tricky ways. There are even some stories of Dolos tricking gods into lies. His Roman equivalent is Mendacius.

Built on unadorned concrete piles, it has a pared down, matter-of-fact quality. Níall McLaughlin Architects concluded that its Deal Café and Bar should preserve an al fresco quality, providing an ideal setting for a cup of tea or supper at the end of the pier while dealing with the challenge of an endlessly changeable maritime environment. The architect set out to do this also in a pared down, matter-of-fact sort of way. Contextual and budgetary limitations underpinned the need for a building in which every component is essential. The modular, repeated structural frame has one kind of column and one kind of beam. A fringe of projecting hardwood slats shades the long east and west walls from the sun, with angled slats that retain transparency. Elements of the external structure double up to create essential windbreaks. The untreated hardwood frame exploits wind and salt in the prevention of mould and algae growth, and within a year it will have weathered to a silver-grey colour, matching the pier. Visit Deal Maritime Museum - "the second best kept secret in Deal". Revealed: Kevin McCloud's favourite house The Daily Telegraph, 28th March 2015 The Grand Designs presenter says Jacob's Ladder is the only house in Britain that takes his breath away. Jacob's Ladder was the staircase to heaven in the dream Jacob had as he fled his brother Esau in the Book of Genesis. It is also the name of an extraordinary house hidden among beech woods on the Chiltern Hills, designed and built at the beginning of this century. It stands on a steep slope where the land falls away into Oxfordshire and it, too, is like something conjured from sleep. The house was designed by Níall McLaughlin in his late 30s and was his first fully-fledged project. Since then Jacob's Ladder (Chinnor Hill, Chinnor, Oxfordshire OX39 4BQ) has won an award from the Royal Institute of British Architects, and McLaughlin's reputation has soared. He is now working on buildings for Oxford and Cambridge colleges, retuning the Natural History Museum, teaching at the Bartlett School of Architecture, and has a philosophical interest in housing for the elderly. Last year he was named one of Britain's 500 Most Influential People by Debrett's. Jacob's Ladder, therefore, is acquiring a status far beyond its modest beginnings. Kevin McCloud, no less, has given it the highest accolade: "There is only one house I can think of in the whole country that takes my breath away … This is how 21st-century rural houses should be designed." Níall McLaughlin, hugely influenced by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Pierre Koenig, has since made other wonderful houses including one at Pipers End in Hertfordshire, but his projects are an eclectic mix. He has, for instance, put a new café on Deal pier in Kent, which is tenacious and weatherproof as a limpet, and he is working on the massive Tapestry building in Kings Cross, London. … and the dark side of Deal The Guardian, 26 April 2016 Rachel Cooke reviews All the Devils Are Here, David Seabrook's exploration of sinister connections in Kent: "Published in 2002, it's about Kent. I guess you'd call it psycho-geography (emphasis on the word "psycho"), though this doesn't begin to capture its intense interest, its uncanny spookiness, the way it ensnares you, turning your stomach, messing with your head. As a reader, you're both afraid for and of its author, loitering at the book's edges, spinning his increasingly deranged yarns without ever fully explaining himself. At its end, he does something that comes as a shock, a thing I still wonder about. Unfortunately, this mystery - and countless others - will never now be solved …" We begin in Margate, where T. S. Eliot, recovering from a breakdown, worked on The Waste Land in a shelter overlooking the sands. The action then moves to Rochester and Chatham, involving itself with the parricide committed by the artist Richard Dadd and its connection, or not, to The Mystery of Edwin Drood. Proceeding to Broadstairs, Seabrook trades in sinister information about Lord Curzon, John Buchan and William Joyce, aka Lord Haw-Haw. Finally, he pitches up in Deal, where the actor Charles Hawtrey drank himself to death, and where he hears the creepy story that inspired Robin Maugham's novel The Servant (later a movie by Joseph Losey) … Click here to listen to the podcast and here to read Andy Beckett's 2002 review. L.S. Lowry painting and drawing of Deal Beach to go on sale East Kent Mercury, 29 August 2016 A Kent auctioneer is offering for sale two prints of Deal beach by L. S. Lowry. The painter came to Deal in 1912 and sketched the beach scene. It is simply called "Deal". In 1947, he used the sketch as the basis for a full painting of the same scene called "The Beach". In 1973 Venture Prints, Bristol, published the two images as signed limited editions: "The Beach" is estimated at £2,000 to £3,000 and "Deal" is estimated at £800 to £1,200. (As of 22nd October 2016 the hammer prices for these two prints have yet to be disclosed.) The auction will be held on 19th September, at 11 am, at 18 The Glenmore Centre, Pent Road, Shearway Business Park, Folkestone. "Deal" L.S. Lowry (24 September 1912) Lot 102 Auction notes: Lowry, Laurence Stephen 1887-1976 British AR, "Deal", 6.75 x 9.75 ins., (17.25 x 25 cms.), offset lithograph limited edition print published in 1973 by Venture Prints of Bristol from a sketch executed in 1912, signed in ink. The print is in its original frame and in excellent condition, it has been owned by the vendor since the 1970s. "The Beach" L. S. Lowry (1947) Lot 101 Auction notes: Lowry, Laurence Stephen 1887-1976 British AR, "The Beach" 10.25 x 20 ins., (26 x 51 cms.), offset lithograph on wove paper, signed in pencil. "The Beach" was completed in 1947 using a sketch Lowry made titled "Deal" in 1912. In 1973 Venture Prints of Bristol made the the limited edition print, three colour offset lithograph. The vendor bought this print and "Deal" at the time and has owned them ever since. Both prints are in their original frames and in pristine condition. These two prints should be of considerable local interest, it is not often an image of Deal by a great artist comes up for sale in Kent. The large brick building is The Royal, as it is known locally, a hotel that gained some celebrity when Nelson enjoyed trysts with Lady Hamilton a century earlier. It looks very different now, but a photograph of the Royal in 1900 shows it to be exactly like the building in the painting. The frontage looks very different today with roads and tarmac Boats used to be drawn right up to the pavement edge. Few people know that Deal has the Time-ball, which drops at 13.00 every day. This clock was linked to the main one in Greenwich and was used by the fleets waiting at sea to set their timings for their navigation charts, otherwise they may have ended up far from their destinations.

Tom June 3, 2019 This is the second time within a year I am replacing the inner glass on my double oven. First time it was the top, now it is the bottom oven door. My tenant told me the glass broke when she was running the clean cycle. Does this often happen or was there a chance it was actually hit when it was in use and not during the clean cycle. Also, can the oven still be used with a cracked inner glass? thank you. For model number KEBC208KSS0 Hello Tom, Thank you for the question. Normally if it cracks during the clean cycle it is due to a defect or a unnoticeable chip or small crack that was in the glass and the heat can cause the larger crack or break. If used with the crack it can cause it to shatter or damage to the door and other layers of glass. Hope this helps! 2 people found this helpful. Was this helpful? Thank you for voting!

Broke the glass panel inside the oven door -- dropped a baking dish on the glass! Easily removed the door from the oven by releasing clips attached to the door hinge -- very nicely engineered. Removed about 6 philips head screws to allow the door assembly to be taken apart for access to the glass. Lifted out the broken glass, cleaned the inside of the door, installed the new glass, reassembled the door (a two minute project), and reattached the door to the oven. Cleaning the inside of the door took longer than the actual repair!

Removed philips head screws to take the door assembly apart. Removed clips holding the two inner door glass plates, and the two plates. Removed the clamp holding the broken glass plate, then the glass and associated glass fragments. Then cleaned and re-installed the three glass plates and their clamps in reverse order. Re-assembled the door and re-attached to the oven. Only cautionary note is to be careful when removing, handling and re-installing the various glass plates. Watch out for fragments from the broken plate; they can cut you and/or fall on the floor.

Was this instruction helpful to you? Thank you for voting! cracked iner door glass Important note: hinges are left and right do not mix them up or door will not re-assemble properly and you'll get to do it twice. Steps I took: Removed the oven door per the instructions in the oven operator manual. Removed several screws to release the interior steel liner. Removing the steel liner was a bit of a hassle, Had to manipulate it to get it loose but it eventually came away from the stainless steel exterior door panel. Disassembled the interior glass layers, there are three. The glass you need to replace is the last layer, of course. removed and discarded the broken glass. Note: the interior glass is not secured by a bracket or screws, it is held in place by compression of the interior steel liner and a another liner that is inside the door assembly (you'll figure this out when you dis-assemble). Another note: there is a fluffy material gasket between these two liners, use care when you disassemble or the fluffy gasket will turn into confetti. Take the opportunity to clean all glass and parts of the accumulated oven grease. Re-assembled door and re-installed...looks good. Another note, getting the door back together requires a little patience because there are clamping overlaps of the steel liner to the SS exterior door panel. Be prepared to jockey things around a little and make sure all your screw holes are all lined up before you begin to button it up. Remember, hinges are left and right they are not interchangeable.

Those brackets held the glass door in place. Then we had to remove two more layers of glass after that using a screwdriver. Then the inner glass, which was the one broken, we had to use pliers to bend the metal tabs that were holding it in place. We got the new glass in, bent the metal tabs back, returned the other two layers of glass, and then slide the outside glass door back in and returned the two brackets at the bottom. The hardest part was figuring out how to get started. Once we removed those bottom brackets, it was pretty easy after that.

Was this instruction helpful to you? Thank you for voting! Inside glass of the oven cooled too fast and cracked The repair is straight forward. The only complication anyone seems to be having is removing the door ( which is a definate must to do this repair properly). So I would like to add some details about removing the door. The manuel shows the allen wrenches going into what looks like the hinge itself to release it from the oven. This is not the case. The holes that the 5/32 allen wrenches go into are actually behind the hinge itself. I wrapped the allen wrenches with some painter tape to protect the surface of the door and oven from scratching. Then, simply insert the short end of the allen wrenches, one on each side, into the holes behind the hinge. Then as it shows in the manuel, gently close the door. But not all the way. As you get about 80% closed you'll feel resistence. That is the time to grasp the bottom of the door and start to lift it from the bottom, while stablizing it with the other hand holding the handle on the door. The hinge will start to release from the oven as you continue to press it closer to being all the way closed. The hinges will release if you are doing this correctly before the door can be all the way closed. Hope that helps. Otherwise, once the door is off. Unscrew all the screws...pay special attention to what you are unscrewing and how it all fits together, because you're going to have to put it all back together again. Some of the glass is held in place with clips and some of it is not. Just lay it down flat and be careful to not force anything in or out and you'll find it quite easy.

Broken Inner Door Glass I removed the oven door by opening it to the horizontal position and inserting a small allen wrench in the open holes in each hinge. I then closed the door and lifted it free of the oven. I place the door face up on a packing blanket and removed the screws at the top of the door and the screws and clamps at the bottom of the door. I then lifted the outside glass door off the inner metal frame and set it in a safe place. I next removed the bracket holding the two inner pieces of glass and pulled the glass sheets out of the sheet metal holders. I then removed the screws which attached them to the metal door frame. Once the holders were off I removed the broken glass. I cleaned all the glass pieces and reversed the process to finish the repair.

Was this instruction helpful to you? Thank you for voting! inner glass broken Thanks to those who replied to my intitial distress call...because of them I had the courage to attempt the repair. First I flipped the main electrica breaker. then I removed the screws from the main door. The next step was to pop out the pins holding the hinges. I couldn't do that no mater how much WD-40 and lubricant I used, or how hard I tapped center mass.....SO I took all the OTHER components out staring with the side facings. (1 screw right left and 2 for bottom.) Next I took the screws holding the door together out -- then the two screws holding the clamps on the bottom of the door. At this point I lifted off the the front facing of the door by the handle and placed it with its glass, to the side. I then had access to the two inside panes of glass. They are secured with a metal plate screwed into the metal of the inner door. When I removed the two screws securing the plate, two plates dropped to the floor and it was fortunate I was holding the glas securly as it two would have dropped. Next, I cleaned each of tpieces of glass with oven cleaner and set them carefuly to the side.(they were crusted with brown) Lastly I wiggled the broken glass out of the small inner window, working from both the inside and the outside of the window. Becuase I couldn't open out the door.. this was an extrememly time consuming activity..but do-able. Once the inner glass was in screwed one of the screws o the clamp plate so I could rest the glass while screwing in the second screw. Once screw two was in place I took out the retaining screw and replaceed in with the glass clamped between. Aftern that the tough stuff was done and I just reassmebled all the door parts. This SHOULD have been much simplier! IF I could have removed the hinge pins as directed. Anyway, mission acomplished. Oven works fine. Thanks!

Was this instruction helpful to you? Thank you for voting! Broken inner door glass on wall oven The inner glass on the wall oven shattered (apparently a common problem). Rather than look at a new $2-3,000 oven, I found the part for around $30. The repair was actually fairly easy, just had to be careful with the glass panes. I did not remove the door completely, just worked on it either open or closed, depending on the step. First I loosened the two screws on the bottom of the door (when closed). Then I removed the four screws on the inside of the door and the two on the top part of the door (2). This allowed the outer panel to slide out and be removed. Then there are two middle panes, held on by small clips with two screws in each. Remove one at a time, being careful not to drop any of the glass on the floor! Remember the order of the glass and the clips, so you can replace in the same order. (Now's a good time to clean all of the inner panes also, and to vacuum out the interior of the door.) Lay these panes aside, and you should be to the broken inner pane, held on by a metal panel--again remove a couple screws, the panel, and remove all the broken glass. Be careful to retain all the insulation around the glass, and replace the glass, then the metal panel, the inner panes, and the outer door panel in that order. The outer panel should slide into place if you remove one clip and screw and start on one side, then replace the clip.

Operis has completed a full model audit in respect of the financial model used to secure a $622M refinancing package for the LBJ Express Highway. After supporting Cintra in a similar transaction in 2019, the North Tarrant Expressway refinancing, Operis were engaged to both provide comfort to the lenders – through a review of the proposed financing solution, and the authority – through a review of the changes introduced by the refinancing. The LBJ Express Highway is a 13.3 mile dynamic toll road located in the Greater Dallas area of Texas in the USA, and is under concession with the SPV until 2061. The road increases the carrying capacity of the former LBJ with the addition of six new tolled lanes on the I-635 segment and four on the I-35 segment. The new financing package, including a $537.5M tax-exempt bond, will be used to completely refinance the high cost bond debt secured at financial close in 2010. Tim Roberts, Manager at Operis, said: “We are very pleased to have been able to support Cintra again on this transaction following the successful refinancing of the North Tarrant Expressway in 2019, and are delighted to have helped the consortium reach financial close despite the difficult times facing the industry in the present climate.”

By now, she was far from the scorch of these sands. After the ransom deal, she would be safely married in England. To Ashton. And Caine, who had hurt her far more than anything Abdullah had planned for her with that long, curved dagger, deserved no better than this torment of knowing it. - V.S. Carnes I stole you, among others, from the streets of God’s birthplace. I forced you to work as a slave. Imprisoned, mistreated and starved you and your companion. To top it off, I am in the process of selling your life to the highest bidder. Why would you trust me? - V.S. Carnes He didn’t deserve compassion. Sympathy. Not even understanding. He deserved worse, far worse than he had ever been given. - V.S. Carnes Oh, Lord, why was she doomed to adore a man steeped in blindness and utter stupidity? - V.S. Carnes I will not marry Ashton. However bound by honor to do so, I will not marry Ashton. I will not marry, ever! Why not?Because I love you, you idiot! - V.S. Carnes No fairy tale, this. This was by no stretch of the imagination a polished fantasy. This was a searing, living force, rough around the edges, unfamiliar and bittersweet.And precious. - V.S. Carnes Anger swirled in him, a tempest readying her strike. And like a helpless vessel caught in her fury, he felt himself dashed against the rocks without mercy. - V.S. Carnes Because you have my heart, Virgilia Wessex. Softly, almost achingly. Every black ounce of it. Scars and all. - V.S. Carnes In a land that knew only dark beauty, she was something of a hybrid no one dared touch. But the tall Arab did not appear in the least daunted by her abnormality. No, she saw his eyes. He was not daunted in the least. - V.S. Carnes Southern gentleman, he said aside to him in Arabic. Do you wish for me to continue this for you?Caine’s temper shifted to a low simmer in his chest. Your way takes too long.Ma’aleyk, and your way hurts my ears, he argued. - V.S. Carnes Remind me to thank God I don’t have a sister.Caine eyed him critically. He was a filthy heap of blood and soot and sand stuck to the gun oil on his face. Yeah, without much enthusiasm. I’ll thank Him for ya. - V.S. Carnes Care for her. He was unworthy of such a gift. Unworthy of her blind trust and her sparkling, slightly crooked smiles, let alone her heart. But he wanted her, selfish fool he was and had always been. Care for her? Ah, God, she consumed him. - V.S. Carnes She’d said she loved him. She'd put that impossible, unimaginably beautiful gift in his hands and he’d thrown it back at her. To save her. To save himself. - V.S. Carnes He’d thought it would be the right thing to say, but she scoffed a little… and that, more than anything—more than the prospect of having his ribs crushed in or his face pulled off or his neck stretched on a rope—scared him out of his wits. - V.S. Carnes I’ve crossed a world of sand and tears in search of you. I love you. I’ve done nothing in my life worth more than that. - V.S. Carnes Somehow, I did not finger you for a treasure-hunter.Oh, but I am, without shame. Her name is Titianni Aziz. - V.S. Carnes He felt, rather than saw, her chin lift toward him. But instead of pulling her hand from his grip and turning away, she tightened her own fingers and unceremoniously, unexpectedly, threw herself down the incline, dragging him with her.Dragging him with her! - V.S. Carnes I remember every good thing about you. Every sweet and perfect thing. And nothing else. He touched her chin, tipped it up to look into her wet brown eyes. Even smudged, they were gorgeous. The dawning light in them filled his heart, and healed it. Nothing else. - V.S. Carnes Kent steepled his fingers in consideration. Blood-red rubies flashed in the sunlight, like the eyes of a demon clutched in his hands. - V.S. Carnes When silence greeted her question, she looked at Caine—for that was how he saw himself in that moment and in all the moments after: his brother’s murderer. - V.S. Carnes La mu’axsa, but I think I’ll just keep sliding down this greased pole to hell? - V.S. Carnes Are you in the habit of taking tea with anyone who approaches you in a foreign port? He went on and snorted carelessly. No wonder you were abducted so easily. - V.S. Carnes This man was no servant. She looked up at him in acute agitation and knew: this man was now her master. - V.S. Carnes Fate had a cruel sense of humor. It had been all his fault, anyway, whatever Mick or Gillia told him. Careless preoccupation and utter stupidity. Boyhood ignorance and negligence. He was only getting what he deserved, over and over again, for the rest of his life. If only in his dreams. - V.S. Carnes Caine might have smiled at her, had his heart not been breaking to smithereens inside of him. - V.S. Carnes

It seems the podcast host’s habit is more along the lines of glancing over to the next stool and saying ‘I’ll have what she’s having.’ Don’t Burn This Book: Thinking for Yourself in the Age of Unreason is currently sitting in 12th place on the New York Times nonfiction bestseller list. Reviews, though, have not been particularly kind. ‘Despite its provocative title, it’s hard to imagine anyone being so angered by a book loaded with the same milquetoast arguments that he’s been hammering for years,’ wrote Anthony L. Fisher in Business Insider. ‘Don’t Burn This Book is not a serious work. It is, in fact, extremely lazy, bearing all the hallmarks of a project that was knocked together over a few wet weekends,’ wrote Ben Sixsmith in these pages. ‘Rubin loves to talk about “ideas” as an abstraction, yet he does not love to talk about ideas themselves.’ To be fair to Rubin, there is one interesting idea in the book that caught Cockburn’s eye, on page 14. ‘If you want a world where people are judged equally by their actions, rather than by their immutable characteristics such as race, gender, or sexuality, then — woohoo! — you’re already on the right track. You’re awake, rather than “woke”,’ Rubin writes. ‘Getting to this point isn’t easy. In fact, it usually takes years of hard labor because our factory settings — everything the system teaches us to believe — are programmed into us from a young age.’ ‘Factory settings’, Cockburn thought. ‘Where have I heard that before?’ Then it hit him. In The Spectator’s first US print edition in October of last year, columnist Bridget Phetasy wrote: ‘Like most Americans, I developed my politics through osmosis. You absorb what you grow up around. I call this unexamined position “factory settings”. Factory settings are the default beliefs installed when you were a child.’ It could be a coincidence, right? You’d be forgiven for giving Rubin the benefit of the doubt…unless you’d heard his appearance on Phetasy’s Walkins Welcome podcast in June 2019: BP: ‘I joke that, um, and everyone’s like “I don’t buy this shtick that you don’t know anything”, but I really didn’t know anything, unlike you, I didn’t come from a PoliSci background, I didn’t have an ideology, I call them “fac-”, in the book I’m writing it’s called “factory settings”, I was born into a Democratic liberal home…’ DR: ‘So I love that!’ BP: ‘…I never questioned anything, and then I was high and drunk until I was 35 years old!’ DR: ‘I love that you’re calling that, I love that you’re calling that “factory settings”- BP: ‘Because it was!’ DR: ‘Because that’s so right, and it’s so interesting, because I’m writing my book too and I’m not gonna steal “factory settings” obviously-‘ BP: ‘Please don’t!’ DR: ‘But- but I have been writing about that concept, that the default position of young people, if you’re roughly our age, was that the left is good and the right is evil, the default position, “the left cares about poor people, and the left cares about minorities, the left cares about gay people, Republicans care about war and money” and all these things, and so what you’re calling “factory settings”…you’re so right about that, and showing people that that’s not true…that is why they’re coming after me so hard, because I- it is my belief, and I could be wrong, and this is where I think there’s a split, say from me, the Weinstein brothers and Sam Harris, I think they still think you can, you can reorganize the left from the inside and maybe something good will come out of it. I see literally no evidence. At every turn where the left could have gotten better, “oh Trump’s president, maybe we should rethink what we’re doing,” no.’ Someone sent me this. Here's Bridget Phetasy discussing a book she's writing about ideological "factory settings", and Dave Rubin saying that it's a great phrase. "I'm not going to steal factory settings!" he emphasises. "Please don't!" she laughs. All very pleasant. — Ben Sixsmith (@BDSixsmith) May 7, 2020 After leafing through the references section of Rubin’s tome, Cockburn was a little put out to see no reference to Phetasy — let alone The Spectator! Rubin told Tucker Carlson that he finished his book in July 2019: for those of you counting, that is one month after his appearance on Phetasy’s podcast. At the time, he tweeted ‘My book, to be published by @penguinrandom, goes on presale tomorrow. I’ll be signing every copy purchased tomorrow and the first thousand will be numbered. Title, cover and more unveiled at 6:30 est tomorrow! #tomorrow.’ One Twitter user, Chris Bustin, replied ‘I hope @BridgetPhetasy’s term, “factory settings,” gets a plug in your book!👍’ Chris…I have some terrible news… I hope @BridgetPhetasy’s term, “factory settings,” gets a plug in your book!👍 — Chris Bustin (@ChrisBustin13) July 29, 2019 There is also a magnificent irony about the central role Phetasy’s line is playing in the extensive PR blitz for Rubin’s book on learning to think for yourself. ‘This is just “factory setting thinking”,’ he told the Modern Wisdom podcast on April 30. “This is just factory setting thinking… it is your job to update your system”@RubinReport on the dangers of being unable to create an opinion without media bias. Full length podcast now live 🚀 Go listen 🔗 — Chris Williamson (@ChrisWillx) April 30, 2020 On his January 30, 2020 appearance on the Daily Signal podcast, Rubin makes three references to ‘factory settings‘…and not one to the phrase’s origin. In the typo-strewn ‘about’ section of his website, Rubin describes his personal journey: ‘Like most American’s Dave spent the majority of his adult life subscribing to a certain Lefty political narrative which is fed to all of us through the cultural, political and media machine. Fed up with these “factory settings” and click-bait news, Dave decided to open up about his awakening, for all to see.’ There are quotation marks there, but no sign of who he’s quoting. That’s not the case for the description of the January 23, 2020 episode of his podcast, the Rubin Report, where the guest was none other than Bridget Phetasy: ‘Bridget discusses how she responds to criticism that she is a grifter. She describes the two types of Trump derangement syndrome and why both are dangerous. Bridget also gives her thoughts on what she calls our “factory settings”.’ Related Crazed and confused by Cockburn Mischief, mayhem and Washington gossip. Send tips and party invites to

I kept running out of the room to watch a movie in the living room, but every time my mom found a new person she knew I'd know, I ran back in to look. I think you're really a cute kid, and I told my mom that if she went back to Russia for a brother or sister, I would want one that looked like you. I think I saw you the other night when I got my soccer award. My mom snapped this picture and I think it looks a lot like you. It's a little fuzzy--sorry. My mom takes pictures ALL the time, but so far you're the most famous person I've been with beside Mickey Mouse the Easter Bunny. I think I'm a little bit famous, but maybe not. Who knows, though? Maybe I'm a Russian princess. My mom sometimes calls me the Tzarina Irina. My mom said she'd spread the word about your website, and she said your dad could spread the word about mine if anyone happens to be interested. Good luck to you and I hope you get your picture taken with a lot more famous people. My mom and I will keep checking your site! You are welcome to keep checking mine. That's all from me. Your Pal, Irina I will email your web site to all of my friends if you do me a favour. My sister works for a famous person and I would like it very much if you would visit her website and tell all your friends about it. My sister is Nancy and she helps her friend at brightlightfoundation.net. I hope you will be able to pass this along to all your friends. I also hope you and your dad will be able to visit their place someday.

In previous versions of Windows 10, you could turn off Cortana with a simple toggle switch, but Microsoft disabled this feature in the Anniversary Update. It is possible to disable Cortana using a registry hack or group policy adjustment, though. This converts the Cortana box into a “Search Windows” tool that may be used to search for local applications and files. Since the release of Windows 10, Cortana has been increasingly limited in her abilities. Cortana now automatically runs the Microsoft Edge browser and only utilizes Bing when you search, instead of the previous Microsoft Edge browser. Home Users: Disable Cortana via the Registry The Windows Registry will need to be edited if you have Windows 10 Home, and you will need to do so in order to make these changes. The same procedure applies if you are using Windows 10 Professional or Enterprise, but you want to work in the Registry rather than the Group Policy Editor since it is more convenient for you. (If you have a Pro or Enterprise license, however, we recommend that you use the Group Policy Editor, which is discussed in the next section.) Standard disclaimer: Incorrect use of the Registry Editor can cause your system to become unstable, if not completely unworkable. Having said that, if you’ve never worked with the Registry Editor before, you might want to read up on how to use it before getting started. RELATED: How to Create a Backup and Restore of the Windows Registry Additionally, you should create a System Restore point before proceeding. That way, if something goes wrong, you can always roll back. Navigate to the following key on the left-hand side of the window: HKEY LOCAL Windows Search is a search engine for Windows. “Windows Search” is the name of the program. “AllowCortana” should be the name of the variable. If you want the change to take effect, you’ll need to sign out and sign back in again, or restart your computer. For future reference, you can simply return to this page and delete or set the “AllowCortana” value to 1 if you want to restore Cortana to its previous state. Download Our One-Click Registry Hack Download our Disable Cortana registry hack instead of manually modifying the registry. This will save you time and effort. Simply extract the contents of the downloaded.zip file, double-click the “Disable Cortana.reg” file, and confirm that you want the information to be added to your registry. To make it easier for you, we’ve included a “Enable Cortana.reg” file in case you want to undo the modification and re-enable Cortana later on. Before the change will take effect, you will need to sign out and back in again–or restart your computer–to ensure that it is applied. Alternatively, if you want to examine what this or any other.reg file will do before running it, you may right-click on the file.reg and select “Edit” to open it in Notepad before running it. Pro and Enterprise Users: Disable Cortana via Group Policy LINKED: Using Group Policy Editor to Make Modifications to Your PCI If you’re using Windows 10 Professional or Enterprise, the most straightforward method of turning off Cortana is to use the Local Group Policy Editor (LGPE). Given that it is a rather strong tool, it is well worth your time to become familiar with its capabilities if you have never used it before. Also, if you’re connected to a workplace network, please do everyone a favor and consult with your network administrator first. Moreover, if your company’s computer is part of a domain, the chances are good that it is also part of a domain group policy, which will override the local group policy in any case. Although Windows will most likely perform this action automatically after you install the Anniversary Update, it wouldn’t hurt to perform it manually in case something goes wrong. To begin, open the group policy editor by clicking Windows + R, type “gpedit.msc” into the box that appears, then pressing the Enter button. Windows Components Search is a search engine for Windows components. “Disable” the Allow Cortana option in the Settings menu, and then click “OK.” You may now exit out of the group policy editing window. In order to re-enable Cortana, return to this page and double-click the “Enable Cortana” setting, changing it to either “Not Configured” or “Enabled.” Disabling Cortana and stopping data gathering in Windows 10 One of the most notable new features in Windows 10 is the introduction of Cortana, Microsoft’s answer to Apple’s Siri and Google Now, respectively. Cortana is Microsoft’s “world’s first” digital assistant, capable of assisting users with a wide range of tasks. Because the more information it gathers about you, the better it will understand you and the more effectively it will be able to serve you. Cortana is a virtual assistant that can answer questions about weather predictions, create reminders, search the web, discover nearly anything on your computer and keep track of flights, calendar events, parcels and a whole lot more – all by simply saying “Hey, Cortana.” In fact, Cortana can tell you a joke if you’re in need of a distraction after a stressful day at work. Data acquired by Microsoft’s digital assistant includes information about your contacts, calendar, location, internet history and preferences, speech, inking and typing, as well as other information. This how-to tutorial will teach you how to disable Cortana and prevent personal data from being collected by Microsoft as a result of the options available. Follow these steps to turn off Cortana in Windows 10 It is really rather simple to turn off Cortana; in fact, there are two methods for accomplishing this action. The first option is to activate Cortana from the search bar located on the taskbar of your computer. Then, from the left-hand pane, select “Settings” and then “Cortana” (the first option), and slide the pill switch to the “Off” position. The second approach is to enter the Settings app and selectPrivacy from the drop-down menu. From there, selectSpeech, inking, and typing and selectStop getting to know me. The previously obtained data from Cortana’s Notebook will not be removed from its current state. Deleting personalization data from the Microsoft servers Visit the Bing Settings page if you want to remove any leftover Cortana data and personal information from your account (for example, Notebooks, Reminders, and Places), and then log out. Click theClearbutton for both “Clear personal information” and “Other Cortana Data and Personalized Speech, Inking, and Typing” using the account that you are now logged into on your computer. Once you have confirmed the deletion in both instances, you are finished. Turning off additional data gathering options in Windows 10 If you don’t want Microsoft to collect your personal information, you can go to thePrivacySettings page and turn off the data collection option. Send Microsoft information about my writing style so that they might assist me in improving my typing and writing in the future. In a similar vein, you may disable data collecting for location by visiting thePrivacysettings page and disablingLocationglobally. Please keep in mind that you can also deactivate location services for individual apps. You may also disable Cortana’s ability to track your position, however at the time of writing, this feature was not available to set. Things you need to know While Microsoft provides a variety of options for turning off Cortana in Windows 10, there are a few things you should be aware of regarding this function and the data it collects: Cortana can only be turned off on one device at a time. The digital assistant cannot be disabled on one device and expect it to be disabled in all of the Windows devices you possess This is not possible. It is also important to note that the name you choose for Cortana to call you is set per device rather than globally. Using Cortana, you may delete data and personal information that Microsoft has collected about you But, there isn’t an option to stop Microsoft from collecting information about you internationally in your Microsoft account. For those who do not wish for Microsoft to save their personal information in the cloud, they should switch off Cortana on all of their devices and then delete all of their personal data from their Microsoft account. If you disable Cortana on one device, all of your information saved online is cleared But, if you have another device that uses Cortana, all of your information will be uploaded and stored in your account once more. Turning off Cortana will make Windows 10 less efficient in its attempts to produce better suggestions for you Nevertheless, this is not a bad thing. To answer your question, the search bar on the taskbar will continue to function properly. It will not go away just because you have turned off Cortana. You will, however, be restricted to simple searches (both locally and on the internet) Turning on Cortana is as simple as opening the search box in the taskbar, heading to the Settings section of the left panel, and sliding the pill switch to the On position on the right. Also, you may do it in the Settings appPrivacySpeech, inking, typing, and clicking the Get to know mebutton Wrapping things up As you can see, Cortana’s settings, as well as the way Microsoft collects information, are quite disorganized. Current configurations necessitate visiting many distinct sites in order to disable Cortana and other features that trigger data collecting. Users must navigate to a web page in order to erase stored information from their Microsoft accounts, and the Bing Personalization page only provides choices for clearing users’ personal information from their accounts. It does not give a way to totally disable the collection of personal information. Moreover, you will be able to view Cortana’s Notebook, Reminders, and Places only from the device itself, as Microsoft does not give access to such information over the web. To be sure, this is only the beginning, and the task ahead is far from complete. It would be preferable, in my opinion, if everything a software provider has to offer could be found in a single area in order to streamline the user experience. However, upon launch, the digital assistant will only be available in a few countries, namely the United States, the United Kingdom, China, France, Italy, Germany, and Spain, among others. Microsoft has already stated that the digital assistant will not be limited to Windows 10, and that it would be developing a standalone app for Android phones, iPhones, and iPads in the near future to complement Windows 10. Will you be disabling Cortana on Windows 10 when it becomes available? Which of the following statements best describes your feelings about Microsoft gathering this type of information? Let us know what you think in the comments section below! How to Disable Microsoft’s Cortana With the incorporation of a digital personal assistant, known as Cortana, into Windows 10, Microsoft has once again demonstrated that it lacks the ability to be innovative or creative.

How to disable Cortana in Windows 10 (Image courtesy of Shutterstock) Cortana, the virtual assistant in Windows 10, has never quite lived up to its illustrious name. Even when not used on a computer, Cortana has being steadily phased out, with mobile access and the Invoke smart speaker being sent to the technological graveyard. Cortana, on the other hand, is still included with Windows 10, so those who find it useful will still have a place to utilize it. Cortana, on the other hand, is just another piece of bloat that the rest of the world doesn’t need. The process of entirely turning off Cortana is not straightforward; nevertheless, where there is will, there is generally a solution. What you need to do is as follows. Here’s an example of a screenshot taken on Windows 10 Have you made the decision to switch yet? How to get a free upgrade to Windows 10 is demonstrated here. For those who just want the Cortana button to be removed from the Windows 10 taskbar, a simple solution is available. Cortana will not be disabled, but it will be hidden from plain sight as a result of this. Right-click anywhere on the taskbar and select ‘Show Cortana button’ from the context menu. If the Cortana button was previously visible, it will now be unnoticeably absent. If you ever want to get it back, just follow the steps above once more. (Photo courtesy of Shutterstock.) How to disable Cortana in Windows 10 Unfortunately, Cortana cannot be deleted from your Windows 10 computer without a lot of effort. Microsoft has blocked this ability since it is a built-in feature. The good news is that you are not completely out of luck. When it comes to turning off Cortana, there are a handful of options available, but the first is the most universal, working on both Windows 10 Home and Pro. It should be remembered before proceeding that this entails making modifications to the register, and that extreme caution should be exercised at all times. 1. Open the Registry Editor On order to disable Cortana in Windows 10, the first thing you need to do is open the Registry Editor in your computer. This may be found in the ‘Windows Administrative Tools’ folder under the ‘Start Menu’ tab of your computer. Alternatively, you may utilize the search bar in Windows 10 and just type in ‘Registry Editor’. You must choose ‘Yes’ when asked if you want this app to be given permission to make modifications to your device. (Photo courtesy of TechRadar.) 2. Locate the necessary registry entry For the first section, you’ll need to be in the sidebar that has a bunch of folders open on it. After locating the HKEY LOCAL MACHINE folder, open the ‘SOFTWARE’ folder to see the contents. From here, you’ll want to look for ‘Policies,’ then ‘Microsoft,’ and finally ‘Windows.’ You may already have a folder titled ‘Windows Search’ within the ‘Windows’ folder (also known as a Key). If so, you may delete it. If you don’t already have one, you’ll have to create one. Right-click on the ‘Windows’ folder and select ‘New’ followed by ‘Key’ from the drop-down menu. (Photo courtesy of TechRadar.) 3. Disable Cortana in the registry The next step is to really disable Cortana on Windows 10. This is the final step. For the second time, you must first create a new item in the Windows registry. Create a new DWORD (32-bit) Value by right-clicking on the ‘Windows Search’ folder you established in the previous step and naming it ‘AllowCortana’. Right-click on the ‘Windows Search’ folder you created in the previous step and selecting ‘New’. As soon as you double-click on this new item, make sure the value is set to ‘0’. Click on the ‘OK’ button to exit the Registry Editor. Cortana will be turned off after the computer has been restarted. It will still appear in the list of programs in the Start Menu, but it will be fully disabled when you attempt to access it, as you will see when you attempt to open it. If you ever want to allow Cortana again, simply repeat the process and update the value of ‘AllowCortana’ to ‘1’ in the AllowCortana field. 4. How to disable Cortana in Windows 10 Pro with Group Policy Editor Even if you’re running Windows 10 Pro, the procedure described above should work, however there is a second option that is not available in Windows 10 Home. Cortana may be turned off in Windows 10 Pro by using the Group Policy Editor, which eliminates the need to make any modifications to the system registry. To access the Group Policy Editor, use ‘Win + R’ to bring up the Run box, and then type ‘gpedit.msc’ into the box. Once you’ve found your way to the relevant folder, browse to it by first selecting “Computer Configuration,” then “Administrative Templates,” then “Windows Components,” and lastly “Search.” Finding the item titled “Allow Cortana” in the right-hand pane and double-clicking it will bring up the Cortana assistant. As was the case with the registry approach, you’ll need to reboot your computer in order for the modifications to take effect. Summary Microsoft a result, although smart assistants such as Siri, Google Assistant, and Amazon Alexa have become indispensable in millions of people’s everyday lives, it’s regrettable that Cortana was never able to realize her full potential. There are a variety of reasons why someone may want to turn off Cortana on their Windows 10 computer, and thankfully, even though Microsoft does not want you to do so, there is a workaround available. Best laptop for 2021: we’ve selected the top 15 laptops available for purchase this year. How to disable Cortana in Windows 10 It is Cortana, the digital voice assistant included into Windows 10, that is intended to make your life simpler by responding to basic voice requests. Cortana, like Apple’s Siri, Amazon’s Alexa, and Google’s self-named voice assistant, may be fussy at times, as can other voice assistants. The following steps will show you how to turn off Cortana if you are not interested in the voice assistant functions, do not want it to pop up when you click on the search bar, or are concerned about your personal data. Before you disable Cortana When Windows 10 was originally introduced, it was straightforward to turn off Cortana, but doing so resulted in the loss of Windows Search functionality. Turning it off now will not have the same effect as turning it off in the past, but it will have an influence. As a result, it’s not nearly as simple as it once was. Cortana’s integration within Windows 10 as well as the way we may turn it off have been improved with the Windows 10 Anniversary Update release. Not all of the preceding approaches are effective, but the actions outlined in this tutorial are.

If you don’t like what occurs after you disable Cortana on Windows 10, simply repeat the procedure and the changes you made will be undone. Create a Windows Restore Point before attempting to disable Cortana. It is always preferable to be safe than sorry. Using the Windows search box, type’system restore’ and then select ‘Create a restore point.’ To create anything new, select Create at the bottom of the popup box that displays Give it a name and click on the Create button. The procedure will just take a few minutes and will produce a snapshot that we can utilize in the unlikely case that something goes wrong when deactivating Cortana throughout the process. How to disable Cortana in Windows 10 Pro and Enterprise The most efficient method of disabling Cortana in Windows 10 is through the use of Group Policies. GPEdit allows us to switch off Cortana with the least amount of disruption, and it can be completed in a few minutes. However, the Local Group Policy Editor is only accessible in Windows 10 Pro and Enterprise editions, which is a drawback. You may add it to Windows 10 Home by using the Add/Remove Programs feature, but the registry editor is a more convenient option (more on that below). For more information on the differences between Windows 10 Home and Professional, please see our tutorial on the differences between Windows 10 Home and Professional. In the Windows search box, type the words “group policy.” If you prefer, you may use the Windows key + R and type “gpedit.msc” Either method will work. Navigate to Computer Configuration, Administrative Templates, Windows Components, and Search in the left pane of the Local Group Policy Editor. In the right pane, click Allow Cortana to enable it. Allow Cortana to run in the background by selecting Edit from the context menu. Disabled should be selected from the radio button on the left. After you click Apply, the window will shut. You should now see Disabled rather than Enabled on the Allow Cortana line, rather than the previous Enabled. Simply said, that’s all there is to it. As a result of utilizing Group Policy Editor, you have successfully deactivated Cortana on Windows 10. If you wish to reactivate Cortana, simply repeat the process above and choose Enable at the fifth step. How to disable Cortana in Windows 10 Home Because the Group Policy Editor is not accessible in Windows 10 Home unless you install it yourself, we must make the necessary changes through the registry in order to do this. However, it is just as simple in this instance. In the Windows search box, type the word “regedit.” If you prefer, you may press the Windows key + R and type’regedit’ Either method will work. Navigate to HKEY LOCAL MACHINESOFTWAREPolicies in the Registry Editor. the search box for MicrosoftWindowsWindows in the left pane of regedit Right-click an empty area in the right pane of regedit and choose New and DWORD (32-bit) Value from the context menu. It should be given the name “AllowCortana,” as well as the value “0.” And that’s the end of it! Cortana will no longer bother you—at least, not until a major Windows update neatly re-enables the feature. [Solved] 5 Simple Methods To Get Rid Of Cortana In Windows 10 Cortana is Microsoft’s reaction to the growing demand for personal digital assistants (PDA). After Google Now and Apple Siri, Cortana was the logical next step in the evolution of digital helpfulness. Cortana, like many computer features that tailor themselves to your requirements, collects a great deal of information about your work habits and preferences. Its Windows search functions are quite dependable, making it a popular choice among PC users. The service, which works similarly to a verbally activated search engine, can provide you with information about any topic that is available on the internet. I can also assist with simplifying local search, keeping track of files, and a variety of other tasks. As a result, many users choose to turn it off in order to prevent Microsoft from gathering information on them. Though stopping the Cortana process is very straightforward, unlike its Google and Apple counterparts, stopping it from running in the background can be a little more difficult. Should You Disable Cortana? Cortana, like other services, makes life easier for a large number of users. If the fact that Cortana gathers so much information on you is the most troubling aspect of your experience with it, keep in mind that this is true of most web-based services. Every website you visit adds cookies and malware to your computer’s hard drive. Even free e-mail providers, such as Yahoo!, need you to consent to enable them to scan every e-mail you send and receive in order to gather information about your activities and preferences. Microsoft has a few choices for limiting the amount of information Cortana collects about you, and they may be your best bet if you want a bit more privacy. Another issue that consumers have with Cortana is the fact that it continues to operate in the background and uses processor resources. However, this does not prevent it from consuming any background processes. The Cortana process is not actually responsible for file indexing. It is performed automatically. As a consequence, by right-clicking “SearchUI.exe” in the task manager and selecting Open File Location, you will be able to determine where SearchUI.exe is placed. This is due to the fact that information is loaded into memory in order for it to display promptly when you click on the search box or search function in Microsoft Windows. Cortana is integrated with the Windows search function (and other features). Cortana will not provide you with the same degree of search capability that you would have if you had it activated. The more harsh the tactics you employ to get rid of Cortana, the more you will discover that the functioning of Windows 10 is restricted. How to Disable Cortana in Windows 10 Prior to the release of the Windows 10 Anniversary Update, it was extremely simple to turn off the Cortana task. With each each update, Microsoft makes it more difficult to completely disable the feature in question. Each of the ways listed below will operate in a different way to deactivate the digital assistant to varying degrees. Hide Cortana Using the Taskbar If you just want Cortana to remain hidden, you may accomplish this in a matter of seconds. Step1Right-click on the taskbar to bring up the context menu. Select “Cortana” from the drop-down option that appears. Make certain that the “Hidden” option is chosen. Disable Cortana Using Settings This is the only way that Windows 10 currently supports. You may use it to set a limit on the amount of information Cortana stores. Step1Go to the Start menu and select the “Settings” icon. Step2: In the Settings box, select “Privacy” as the first option. In the third step, right-click on the phrase “Speech, inking, typing.” When the pop-up window displays, select “Stop getting to know me” and “Turn off” to turn off the feature. To return to the Settings window, click “Home” in the upper left-hand corner of the screen once you have completed Step 4. 5 Select “Talk to Cortana” from the drop-down menu and make sure all of the settings are set to “off.” Step6Click on “PermissionsHistory” and make sure that “Cloud Search” and “History” are both turned off (if necessary). Make sure the settings are turned off by selecting “Cortana across my devices” in Step 7. You will be able to remove the information that Cortana has already acquired about you after you sign in. In particular, this is true following big upgrades to Windows 10. This is just another incentive to get into your online Microsoft account on a regular basis and delete any data that has been kept there. Using the Group Policy Editor to Stop Cortana This will only work if you have either Windows Pro or Windows Enterprise installed on your computer. Cortana is already permanently deactivated in the vast majority of Windows Education editions. Users of Windows Home will not have access to the Group Policy Editor, and if they attempt to utilize this approach, they will see a warning similar to the one shown below. Step1: On the keyboard, press thekey and thekey at the same time to start the process. The Run box is launched as a result of this. “Computer Configuration,” “Administrative Templates,” and finally “Windows Components” are the options available from the list on the left. “Allow Cortana” should be selected twice. Then click on “Apply” and “OK” to complete the process. If you want to switch off Cortana, go to the Start menu and select “Restart” from the Power menu. Although you may disable Cortana using the Group Policy Editor, if this feature is not available on your version of Windows, go to the following approach. Edit the Registry to Disable Cortana Users who use the Home edition of Windows and wish to entirely disable Cortana beyond what Microsoft provides will have no choice but to edit the registry to do this. Editing the registry, on the other hand, is not something that novice users should do. Before you proceed, make sure you have created a system restorepoint first. Even if you carefully follow the directions, you may get undesirable side effects from the medication. If you make a mistake while following these procedures, your system may become unstable, and you may be forced to reinstall Windows. Hit the Enter key after typing “regedit” without quotation marks. Second, go to “HKEY LOCAL MACHINE” and then “SOFTWARE” in the list on the left side of the screen. Search for “Windows Search” when you access the “Windows” folder in your computer’s file system. You will need to create this folder if you do not already have one. You should be able to name the new key in the list if it is not already named. To choose the newly formed key, right-click on it and choose “select from list.” To create a DWORD (32-bit Value) when you right-click “Windows Search,” you must select “New” and then “DWORD (32-bit Value).” Step5: Give it the name “AllowCortana” (no space between the words and no quotation marks). Cortana’s search bar will be replaced with a conventional search option after you have completed this action. Renaming Cortana’s Search Folder The fact that Microsoft has so thoroughly interwoven Cortana with its search feature on Windows 10 means that even after making the registry modification, you will still see “Cortana” listed in the Task Manager and operating in the background even after making the change. This is the SearchUi.exe file that was previously mentioned. It is possible to confirm this by right-clicking on the Cortana service that is now operating and selecting “Go to Details.” To get rid of this option so that it is no longer always running and you are not concerned about the fact that it will also disrupt the Windows Start menu search function, you may use the following approach, which will be described further below. Open the File Explorer by entering “File Explorer” into the Start menu search box and clicking on “File Explorer.” Alternatively, you might click on the “Documents” icon. Step2Find and open the “Windows” file that was previously mentioned. Step3Look for the folder titled “Microsoft.Windows.Cortana cw5n1h2txyewy” in your computer’s hard drive. When you attempt to rename it, you will receive an error notice that reads “Folder Access Denied”. If you see a notification asking if you want to enable an app to make modifications to your device, select yes. Open the task manager by right-clicking on the taskbar and selecting “Task management,” without closing this window. If you are unable to complete the task in time, please try again. Because it shouldn’t be operating, it should be simpler to revert to the previous name setting. Users of Windows who continue to experience issues with Cortana can file a support ticket. It’s possible that future Windows updates may include a simple way for consumers to turn it off.

…well, at least to the musical universe. Learning this basic 12 measure pattern can help you in numerous ways along your guitar journey. If you’re a fan of any popular music made in the last forty years, chances are you’ve enjoyed some form of a 12 bar blues progression. Below are some ways 12 bar blues can help out with guitar learning, and with music education in general. Soloing Blues is practically the only form of music where you can solo using BOTH major and minor scales over the same chord progression (e.g. A minor and A Major). Try doing that with classical or jazz and see how it sounds! You can start out using a very basic pentatonic (5 note) minor scale and expand that to a slightly more complex blues scale and eventually incorporate elements of full major/minor scales and beyond. Blues gives you tremendous flexibility in mixing different scale patterns for experimentation. Chords and Theory The chords used in a standard blues progression are the three major chords in a major key, I-IV-V. These chords can be played up and down the neck using barre chords or a simple power chord based riff. Once you learn a single I-IV-V pattern, you can play the pattern starting at any fret on the neck. Using this method of playing I-IV-V blues, you can now play all major chords in all major keys. And you don’t even need to know the names of all the chords you’re playing–all you need is the starting chord, which will be the key of progression. The Common Language While only a certain number of guitarists call themselves “blues” players, nearly all are familiar with the basic blues pattern. The first time you get together with other players, try starting with a simple 12 bar blues progression. It’s a great way to break the ice and get comfortable playing together. It’s also very easy to come up with multiple guitar parts (riff, rhythm and lead) so everyone can jump right in and play something that sounds good right from the start. Even if the blues is not your thing, it’s a great tool to have for learning, as well as interacting with other musicians. Like blues great Albert Collins once said, “Nobody gets out of this place without singin’ the blues”.

Grow Your Practice Property Tax Lawyers in Stark County The law of Stark County, Ohio says that everyone who owns real property has to pay taxes on it. The term "real property" refers to land and buildings, as well as anything adhered to the land, like trees and natural resources. The property tax in Stark County, Ohio is simply a percentage of a piece of property's appraised value, paid to the state and/or local government on a periodic - usually annual - basis. Generally, property taxes are not levied by the federal government. This applies to everywhere in the U.S.. Usually, property taxes are imposed by state and local governments. How Property Tax is Calculated in Stark County, Ohio Usually, Stark County, Ohio property taxes are determined as a percentage of the property's value. Tax rates vary widely, but they typically run from less than 1% up to about 5%. In order to levy this tax, the tax authorities in Stark County, Ohio must have an uniform formula for figuring out the value of a given piece of property. Value is subjective in many respects. The home that you grew up in is probably worth more to you than its going market rate. So, to ensure that property taxes are fair and uniform, tax collectors have to use purely objective factors when appraising property. With that in mind, the land appraisers in Stark County, Ohio look at several factors, including the state of the local real estate market, the square footage of the house, and the permissible use (zoning) of the land. How A Stark County, Ohio Property Tax Attorney Can Help. The property tax system in Stark County, Ohio can get pretty complicated. There are several reasons why you might run into a legal dispute regarding your property tax. For example, you may believe that the appraised value of your property was too high, increasing your tax burden unjustly. Or, the state might accuse you of failing to pay your property tax. If you are involved in a property tax dispute with the tax authorities of Stark County, Ohio, you should seek the advice of a Stark County, Ohio tax attorney. Your attorney can help you prevent a small tax problem from turning into something much bigger and more expensive than it needs to be. Talk to a Tax Law Attorney now!

Clear & Simple Information Free and easy guide Personalized Offers Ready to get your free guide? GET STARTED Learn About South Carolina Food Stamps Requirements South Carolina food stamps requirements and benefits are overseen by the Department of Social Services (DSS). Food stamps eligibility for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is the first step toward acquiring benefits. The requirements for food stamps in SC must be met by all applicants who are interested in obtaining SNAP assistance for qualified food and grocery items. To qualify for food stamps benefits, applicants must meet requirements related to income, citizenship, residency and even work. In addition, SNAP eligibility in SC also requires applicants to submit required documents in support of the above criteria. To learn more about how to qualify for food stamps in South Carolina, review the following topics. Learn About South Carolina Income Requirements for SNAP Benefits Income-related requirements for food stamps in SC are an important eligibility factor, as the program was designed to provide food assistance to low-earning individuals and families. To determine if you are eligible for SNAP financially, first review your household size. To qualify for South Carolina food stamp benefits, you must examine the current Federal Poverty Level (FPL), as it relates to your household size. The income limits for SNAP qualifications in SC are broken down into gross monthly income and net monthly income sums. Generally, to meet the requirements for SC SNAP, a household’s monthly income cannot exceed 130 percent of the FPL. However, households with disabled or elderly members can qualify for food stamps with a higher earnings figure of 165 percent of the FPL. Although other states incorporate countable resources when determining eligibility for SNAP benefits, the DSS in South Carolina does not. Currently, there are no resource limits in place for SC SNAP applicants. This means you can have investments, money in the bank as well as stock and bond certificates in your name without affecting your income qualifications for food stamps. If your household does not qualify for food stamps benefits in SC monetary, there are deductions you can factor in, which may help you stay below the FPL threshold necessary to be eligible for SNAP. Currently, some deductions include: Utility allowances related to cooling and heating costs and basic utility deductions. Monthly shelter expenses. Telephone costs. Dependent care expenses. Child support payments that are legally obligated. Medical expenses in excess of $35 for disabled and/or elderly household members. Download our guide to review more information about the income requirements for SNAP. Learn About South Carolina Citizenship Requirements for SNAP Benefits Eligibility for food stamps in South Carolina also mandates all applicants to prove their legal presence in the U.S. To qualify for SC SNAP benefits, you must be able to show proof that you are either a U.S. citizen or a legal noncitizen residing in the country. Prior to applying for SNAP, make sure to gather the applicable documents that prove your citizen or noncitizen status. Qualifying documents to prove eligibility for food stamp benefits include passports, birth certificates and immigration status reports. All SNAP applicants must also be prepared to show proof of South Carolina residency to be eligible for food assistance, regardless of being citizens or noncitizens. In addition, those who wish to qualify for SC SNAP must be able to provide valid Social Security Numbers (SSNs). An SSN is necessary when determining eligibility for SNAP, because it acts as a federal identifier prior to the distribution of benefits. South Carolina SNAP qualifications make it mandatory for all household members to provide SSNs. If someone in your household does not have a Social Security Number, make sure he or she files for one prior to requesting SNAP benefits in SC. Other SNAP Requirements You Must Meet in South Carolina How to qualify for food stamps in South Carolina also means meeting work requirements for those fit to do so. Work-related SNAP qualifications do not apply to beneficiaries who are disabled or elderly. Instead, those looking to qualify for SNAP assistance who are considered Able-Bodied Adults Without Dependents (ABAWDs) must engage in the work requirements enforced by the DSS. ABAWDs are beneficiaries 18 to 49 years of age without minor children in the home, who are able to commit to work for 20 hours per week and 80 hours per month total. To be eligible for SNAP assistance in SC, food stamp recipients can enroll in the SNAP Employment & Training (E&T) program. Engaging in the SNAP E&T imitative counts toward work hour requirements for food stamp benefits, because the program provides both career-based training and job search assistance. Additionally, SNAP2Work is an internal program run by the DSS that satisfies the requirements for SNAP workers in SC and operates directly with community agencies to help food stamp beneficiaries secure work opportunities. Applicants Who Are Not Qualified for South Carolina SNAP Benefits Applicants may not qualify for food stamps, even if they fulfill all of the above-mentioned food stamps requirements in South Carolina. For instance, students do not qualify for SC SNAP benefits if they are enrolled in school for more than halftime. In addition, applicants who do not qualify for food stamps benefits in SC include those who have been convicted of drug-related felonies, which were committed after August 22, 1996. Workers on strike will be rejected from SNAP assistance if they were not eligible for the program the day prior to striking. To learn more about SNAP qualifications, download our guide.

Please know that vaccines and tests are available only while supplies last for each day. The state has limited tests for areas with high incident rates and reserves many of the rapid tests for schools and hospitals. The City of Killeen is stepping up and using federal funds to locate and secure the necessary supplies and resources to continue the valuable vaccines and testing for our community. Last week, during the dates of Sept. 23 and 24, 154 vaccines were administered and 425 tests were given. There were 49 positive cases. No appointments are required for the vaccines or tests, but a phone number and/or email address is required.

Stress is defined as a negative differential between a series of demands and ability to cope with them. We each have a personal comfort level, which may vary on a daily base. Everyone thrives and feels comfortable within this personal level, but placed outside of one's comfort zone, stress will quickly manifest. There are different causes of stress. The most common causes include work stress due to long working hours or heavy workload, and life stress such as divorce or responsibility to take care of sick or elderly family members. It is important to realise that not all stress is bad, in fact, a certain amount of stress is functional to maintaining optimal health. An environment totally devoid of stress would not be beneficial as some stress appears to be necessary for growth and change to take place and for the person to develop successful coping strategies. Hans Selye, a leading researcher into the effects of stress, has developed the notion of General Adaption Syndrome: Stage 1: Alarm reaction is the initial encounter with stress in which the body rises to meet the challenge of stress. Stage 2: Resistance reaction is when the body has adapted to stress and there is a considerable expenditure of the body's adaptive energy, notably the function of the adrenal cortex Stage 3: Exhaustion is finally one of exhaustion, in which many of the body functions become impaired. Stress is a multidimensional syndrome because it involves mind, body and emotions. The symptoms of stress involve both behavioural and psychological problems, and the reason for the success of aromatherapy is dealing with stress is that it uses a multidimensional holistic approach. Typical Aromatherapy Treatments The success of holistic aromatherapy in stress management is due to the combined benefits of : Essential oils Relaxation rituals such as massage, warm bath Social interactions, like therapists/client, mother/child, and husband/wife interactions The sensory aspect of aromatherapy is significant in the treatment of stress. This involves the sense of touch and smell. It is interesting to note that these are the most intimate and sensual of our senses. And these senses are usually not the ones being stimulated in our work or our daily environment. Essential oils may de-stress through two routes: Inhalation and dermal absorption. The two possible mechanisms by which the essential oils work are: Pharmacological effect Triggering response via the system We have 3 groups of Essential Oils that are available to cope with stress.

Less sleep may result in more stress which may weaken your immune system. Practise deep breathing. Holding your breath is also excellent for relieving stress. Inhale deeply with your mouth closed and hold your breath for a few seconds, then exhale slowly through your mouth. Do this four or five times until you feel the tension disappear. Identify the sources of stress. This helps you understand what is causing your problem. Take up a hobby. Hobbies are great for relieving stress. Take time to do what you enjoy Herbs can be effective in relieving the symptoms of stress Passionflower is excellent for its sedative properties. It may be combined with valerian and skullcap to induce sleep. It is useful for relieving restlessness, irritability, wakefulness and symptoms of exhaustion Engage in a physical activity that can help to clear the mind and keep stress under control. Some people find doing sports such as running, walking or play team sports beneficial. Some find shopping therapeutic.

A 2001 EMAIL INTERVIEW: Martin Davidson responds to questions put by Tom Theunissent. First published in Gonzo Circus. When did you start to listen to free improv? I came to terms with it in 1971. I had heard it starting in the mid-1960s, but could not relate to it. A 1971 concert by the Spontaneous Music Ensemble (with John Stevens, Trevor Watts, Julie Tippett and Ron Herman) turned me on. At the same time the 1971 solo Derek Bailey recording that was later issued as 'Six Fairly Early Pieces' on Emanem helped me see the light. Did you come from a (free) jazz background? As a teenager I was hooked on what was then known as Modern Jazz - now usually referred to as Bebop or Hard Bop. I was also into composed music from Bach to Mahler. In the mid-1960s my taste expanded into earlier Jazz, Free Jazz, some more modern composers, and traditional/ethnic musics. Was there something missing/lacking in other music, in your opinion? I find the best of the above-mentioned areas of music to be totally satisfying. However, I do now find it a bit limiting and strange when musicians have to stick to playing something that is pre-determined by someone else, yet I am the first to admit that some magnificent music has been made in this way. Did you ever play music yourself? Not really. I did a gig on reel-to-reel tape recorder around 1974, predating all the turntable manipulators. In the 1980s I accumulated a large percussion kit, but did not perform in public. What kind of music do you listen to besides free improvisation nowadays? All of the areas mentioned above - jazz, so-called 'classical' and traditional/ethnic. Any favourite composers, groups? Too many to mention. What is your favourite Emanem recording, line-up? All of them. I only issue things I like. What was/is the relation with Quark, Steam? Quark was another name I used momentarily in 1979. Steam was Stan Tracey's label from around 1975 to 1995 - it was not related to Emanem. Why did some older Emanem LPs get reissued by Blue Note, hat ART? Because I was inactive at the time, and the musicians found other labels that were interested to reissue Emanem recordings that had been out of print for too long. What was your impulse to restart the label in 1995 after several years of inactivity? Several people were nagging me to do so, and I felt that I was not doing anything significant with my life. I delayed restarting because my finances were very poor, but I managed to start without having to spend any money. Can you make a living of running the label? Unfortunately, no. Since starting CD production in 1995, I have not taken any money out of the label. But then, I have not put any in either. It just makes enough money to continue. So in order to live, I have to do other work (as a computer programmer). One sometimes gets the impression that most so called free improv is played by males in their 40s en 50s. Is this (age thing) a result of a certain level of practice/experience or maturity? You would not get this impression if you went to a cross-section of the gigs in London. The London improvisation scene comprises one or two hundred musicians ranging in age from 18 to 80. Many are in their 20s and 30s. Some, but not enough, are women. Why are so few female musicians around? That's a good question, which is at least equally problematical in the worlds of jazz and composers. It used to be due to the role that women were supposed to play in life, although I wouldn't have thought that was still particularly valid. It may have something to do with the generalisation that women tend to be generalists rather than specialists. In music (as in most other things) I do not think in terms of gender, yet I realise that there are very few women on Emanem. Are there some promising younger players around, you'd like to 'push'? Too many to mention. For various reasons, Emanem has concentrated on the 'first generation' of improvisers, but I am trying to bring in some of the younger ones. Maybe a stupid question, but just being curious (hey, I wasn't even born then): how many people went to see the SME, Iskra 1903 or duos with people like Bailey, Parker, Guy et al. on an average gig in the 70's?

Her arms ached, her legs were wobbly with fatigue. And her face, her hair—she must look like a sunburned scarecrow. But she’d harvested all her lavender! She would have meat and milk for Manette, and at this moment that was all she cared about. Wash half turned to her. “You all right?” She nodded, and he climbed down and began to unhook the rig. He kept his head down but she thought a smile touched his mouth. He was pleased, then, with their day’s work? Or was he pleased that his precious railroad could now roll its iron tracks over her farm? Men liked nothing better than to win. Henri had bragged that he was the best swordsman in New Orleans; it would have been better had he spent his time practicing marksmanship with his rifle. And this man, Wash Halliday…well, she could not say what she thought of him. She was so weary her thinking was confused, but she was not so weary she could not feel the inexplicable pull toward the man who was now lifting her sleeping daughter into his arms. She stumbled down from the wagon seat to walk close beside him, up the stairs to the hotel’s second floor. He paused at the door to her room while she unlocked it. Light spilled in from the doorway, illuminating the room she and Manette slept in. He entered as if expecting to be ambushed, then gently deposited Manette on the big double bed. When he straightened Jeanne laid her hand on his muscled forearm. He flinched the tiniest bit, and somehow she guessed he was weighing his reticence about her against his masculine need. That pleased her. “You have been very kind,” she said. “You are a good man, Monsieur Wash. I am sorry that I kick you, and I thank you for today.” The oddest expression crossed his face, and in his gray eyes she suddenly saw both wariness and raw de sire. “Are you hungry?” he whispered. “It does not matter. I cannot leave Manette.” Then he did a strange thing. He reached out and laid his hand against her cheek. For a moment she did not move and then an irrational yearning tugged at her. She wanted to turn her mouth into his palm. She leaned toward him. Oh, if he would only hold her in his strong arms and make her fears go away. She hadn’t known a woman could be so desperately lonely at times; perhaps he would talk with her? God knew she had no one else to talk to—no friends. No family. But he dropped his arm and stepped away. Something in him held back. Alors, she should not have kicked him in the stomach yesterday. Mon Dieu, would she never learn not to strike out first and questions later? Chapter Eleven Wash moved through the open hotel-room door and closed it decisively behind him. No use prolonging it; he’d accomplished what he set out to do, even though it had cost this woman everything she had. Now his mind was rolling up all his doubts in a ball and bouncing it off his heart. Was it worth it? No one was paying a higher price for this damn rail line than Jeanne, not even Grant Sykes, who was shelling out hundred-dollar bills like Christmas candy canes. Just thinking about Jeanne’s cabin and the look in her eyes when she’d seen the pile of boards at the site made him feel rotten. He hadn’t felt like this since the War. Sykes would probably give him another raise for being an efficient instrument of destruction. And on top of everything, Rooney was right: he was falling in love with Jeanne Nicolet. What was he going to do? He decided to pay a visit to the sheriff and ask about Joe Montez. The answer unsettled him. “Sure, I ran into Montez couple of days back. Said he was leaving town, but my deputy spied him setting up camp in the woods somewhere near River Fork Road. Wash felt his belly turn to ice. He had to find Montez; he had a feeling the Spaniard meant bad business. In the hotel dining room, he caught Rita’s eye and ordered a picnic basket with a jar of chicken soup, half a loaf of bread and three hard-boiled eggs. Then he tramped back up the stairs and left the basket outside Jeanne’s door, tapped softly and fled. He could break a horse in half an hour, but right now he hadn’t enough grit to face Jeanne again. The next morning, Wash found the burned remains of Montez’s campsite but no sign of the man. Maybe he’d been spooked by the deputy who’d seen him, but had the Spaniard hightailed it out of the county? Wash didn’t think so. The man seemed to have a grudge of some kind against Jeanne. He rode out to Green Valley to supervise the clearing crew in cutting timber and laying the split logs onto the four-foot-wide cleared track the men had leveled in preparation for the iron rail sections. The rolling bunkhouse for the workers had already reached the town of Colville, twenty miles to the west; another week of laying the three miles of track a day credited to the Chinese laborers Sykes hired and they’d be at the rim of Green Valley.
