The term “securities” is used in financial lingo on a daily basis. The pundits on the financial shows are always speaking about “Securities”. Your investment advisor or 401K provider probably sends you regular information about “Your portfolio of securities” and how to optimize it. But indeed, what exactly are “Securities”? The word actually has a fairly precise meaning. Lets take a look. Securities: Definition According to Investopedia, a security, in the financial sense, is an instrument that holds monetary value, representing ownership or a right to ownership in a publicly traded company or a debt to be repaid with interest. The exact value of a security can change on a daily basis according to market supply and demand. Securities are liquid instruments, meaning they can be traded on market exchanges. A company, government or other entity issues securities in order to raise money. Investors buy securities when they are initially offered, or afterward on what is referred to as the secondary market. Two Main Types of Securities The two main types of securities are stocks and bonds. Stocks A stock, also known as an equity security, is an instrument representing the ownership held by shareholders in a company, partnership or trust. There are two main types of stock: Common stock and preferred stock. Most people who own stock own common shares. Although some stocks pay out periodic dividends, most people own stock for the potential that they will increase in value. The total return they achieve is then the capital gain they realize upon the sale of the stock plus any dividends they have received while owning it. Bonds Bonds are debt securities, meaning that they represent money that has been borrowed and must be repaid along with interest. Bonds can vary as to the length of time the instrument is in force, known as the term. They are issued by corporations, governments and government entities. Their price can vary as interest rates and other market factors vary. If held to maturity, the bondholder will receive the exact amount he paid for the bond, plus the periodic interest he has received during the term. Bonds can be sold before the term ends, and a capital gain or loss may be realized. Hybrid Securities Hybrid securities are those that have characteristics of both stocks and bonds. There are several types of hybrid securities, including convertible bonds, convertible stocks, preference shares and equity warrants. How are Securities Regulated? In the United States, securities are regulated in order to maintain trading integrity and prevent abuse. The principal regulator is the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Within the brokerage industry itself, Self Regulatory Organizations (SRO’s) provide additional oversight and regulation as well. Most other countries have some form of government regulation on securities issues by their corporations, but in many cases, the rules governing them are less strict than in the US.

The International Linguistics Olympiad been held annually since 2003, and Prof. Radev has coached teams each year. Dragomir Radev, Professor in Computer Science and Engineering, the School of Information, and in the Department of Linguistics, has coached US high school students to successful competition at the 13th International Linguistics Olympiad (IOL), which was held at the American University in Blagoevgrad, Bulgaria from July 20-24, 2015. It is the ninth year that Radev has coached the team. The IOL has been held annually since 2003, and each year teams from around the world compete to solve the world’s toughest puzzles in language and linguistics. On July 18th, two four-student teams from the US and one team from Canada made the trip to compete in the IOL from North America (Team USA Red, Team USA Blue, and Team Canada). Prof. Radev and Prof. Lori Levin of Carnegie Mellon University coached the US teams; Patrick Littell of the University of British Columbia coached the Canadian team. The North American teams joined 40 other teams from 27 other countries to compete in the Olympiad. The IOL consists of individual and team contests with unique problems each year. This year’s individual contest, a six hour exam with five problems, focused on Kabardian, Wambaya, Somali Masafo, Nahuatl, and Arammba, as well as on Soundex, an algorithm for phonetic classification of names. For the team contest, teams were tasked with translating excerpts from a Northern Sotho dictionary. Problem solving at the IOL stresses the ability of contestants to decipher the mechanisms of languages by using logic and reasoning to explore a wide range of hypotheses. In the individual round, three contestants from the USA teams won gold medals: James Wedgwood of Washington, James Bloxham of Massachusetts, and Kevin Yang of Washington. Silver medals went to three other US contestants: Kevin M Li of California, Conor Stuart-Roe of North Carolina, and Julian Gau of New Jersey. Nilai Sarda of Georgia and Emma McLean of Nova Scotia won bronze medals. Finally, Kevin Q Li of New Jersey, Ben Zhang of Ontario, and James Hyett of Ontario were awarded honorable mentions. James Bloxham and James Wedgwood received best solution awards for Problem 3 and Problem 5, respectively. Team USA Red’s combined scores on the individual score were the highest of any team, which brought them the annual Cup for the team with the highest average performance in the individual contest. This is the third year in a row that USA Red wins the blue cup for the highest combined score in the individual contest of any team.The two US teams (Red and Blue) had an average score of 62 points, which was higher than all other teams. The USA contestants took five of the top ten places in the individual contest, including three gold medals. USA Red finished in first place among 44 teams based on the combined score of its members in the individual contest, and they finished second on the team problem, following Team UK West. The US and Canadian team members were selected from more than 1,700 students who competed in the North American Computational Linguistics Olympiad (NACLO). Profs. Radev and Levin are founders of NACLO.

By Professor Paul Knoepfler, Ph.D. / 6 Comments / January 25, 2021 February 17, 2021 / induced pluripotent stem cells, iPS cells / Blog, Cynata, Fate Therapeutics, induced pluripotent stem cells, IPS cells, Research Nobel Laureate Shinya Yamanaka, the first to produce induced pluripotent stem cells. Induced pluripotent stem cells or IPS cells just might be the most exciting development in the stem cell field over the last 15 years. They have unique potential for clinical impact for regenerative medicine too, both through their use to produce differentiated cellular therapies and indirectly via disease modeling as well as drug screening. The scientist who first made them, Dr. Shinya Yamanaka, received the Nobel Prize in 2012 for this discovery. Dr. Yamanaka thought outside the box. He applied basic science knowledge gained over many years about early mammalian development, embryonic stem cells, and transcription factors. But the story leading up to IPS cells really starts in the 1980s in part in Seattle. More below. At The Niche, we do our own IPS cell research You might have noticed that here on The Niche we have the URL ipscell.com so when it comes to induced pluripotent stem cells, we know our stuff. We’ve been following the IPS cell research field for more than a decade and doing IPS cell research ourselves in the Knoepfler lab. You can see a microscopy image of colonies of human IPS cells that my lab produced years ago. We stained them in red for a human embryonic stem cell marker, which lights up human IPS cells too. This post is an overview of IPS cells. It includes recommended resources about them since their first report in 2006 (mouse) and 2007 (human). Also, what are current and future prospects for clinical impact? IPS cell discovery While mouse IPS cells were the first reported reprogrammed pluripotent stem cells by Yamanaka, one year later human versions were reported both by the initial discoverer Shinya Yamanaka and others including teams led by Jamie Thomson and Rudy Jaenisch. IPS cells can be made from just about any normal type of cell, ranging from adult stem cells to cells that are not stem cells at all such as fibroblasts. In fact, fibroblasts are probably the most common type of cell changed into IPS cells. How did scientists in the 2000s think that transcription factors might be able to reprogram cells? IPS cells or induced pluripotent stem cells made in Knoepfler lab, stained for TRA-1-60, an ES cell marker. Some IPS cell pre-history: MyoD and cell fate There was a pioneering scientist named Harold (Hal) Weintraub at a place called the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center (or as many of us call it affectionately for short “The Hutch”) in Seattle. You can read more about him here on the Hutch website. Hal was definitely one of a kind and in a good way. I only met him once when I was a grad student at UCSD and had gone up to the Hutch to give a talk. I didn’t know him, but when I did my postdoc at the Hutch I became very good friends with some of those who had known him well. Without exaggeration I can say they loved the guy and admired his work. I also knew Hal’s science well and was a big fan. When I arrived at the Hutch in Bob Eisenman’s lab to start my postdoc in 1998, people were still grieving Hal’s death 3 years earlier (see his NYT obit here). I also remember the moment I gave the sad news to my doctoral advisor, Mark Kamps, that Hal had passed away. For the first time in my years of working with Mark, he was visibly shaken. He thought the world of Hal and had interacted with him during a long running series of joint meetings between The Hutch and Salk scientists called the “Salk-Seattle Meetings”, which sadly no longer take place. Hal was a visionary researcher in the area of transcription and cellular fate. He might have won the Nobel Prize and deservedly if he had not been taken from us by a brain tumor. At the same time Hal was the kind of scientist and person that I admire. So, you might ask, why do I think Hal deserves some of the credit for the discovery of iPS cells? He did pioneering studies of how genes influence cell fate. His models of how transcription factors direct cell fate were exemplified by his lab’s seminal work on MyoD, a powerful transcription factor that can induce a muscle cellular phenotype. Weintruab lab paper on MYOD reprogramming of cells. Hal’s lab’s first paper (see top portion above) reporting the existence of what would later be called “MyoD” for “MYOblast Determination gene” was truly revolutionary. His team reported the fact that introduction of a single defined factor, MyoD, induced fibroblasts to change into myoblasts that differentiate into myotubes. In fact MyoD sometimes reprogrammed even non-fibroblastic lineage cells into the muscle lineage. (note that a separate, but interesting question is whether some fibroblasts are actually functionally more like stem cells than we might assume). So in the late 1980s Hal demonstrated a defined factor could induce direct reprogramming of cell fate. This is reminiscent of reprogramming to an IPS cell state. The Weintraub lab papers from 1987 and 1988 more fully fleshed out the MyoD story. In a perspectives piece, Yamanaka himself also attributes some of the credit in the pre-history of iPS cells to Hal Weintraub and I admire Yamanaka for that. What are human induced pluripotent stem cells and how are they made? The definition of induced pluripotent stem cells is pluripotent stem cells that are made from non-pluripotent stem cells. They behave as though they are embryonic stem cells, but no embryo is needed. The process by which IPS cells are produced is called “reprogramming”. What’s that? It essentially means the starting non-pluripotent stem cells like fibroblasts are recoded gene-expression and epigenetic-wise to “think” they are pluripotent stem cells like embryonic stem cells. Yamanaka used 4 defined factors (OCT4, SOX2, KLF4, and MYC) to complete the reprogramming of human dermal fibroblasts into human IPS cells. Waddington Landscape Model, Knoepfler & Seamount. Other groups used similar cocktails sometimes with slightly different combos. The key is that theses factors are fundamental embryonic control switches that tell cells to behave as though they are in the early embryo. You can see a Waddington model of how non-pluripotent stem cells are “pushed” back up the hill to a pluripotent state during reprogramming. A tricky part of reprogramming is delivering these factors into the starting cells. Most often for research purposes retroviruses are used to transduce the starting cells with the defined factors. For clinical purposes other non-genetic methods are more commonly used such as transient introduction of non-integrating viruses coding the reprogramming factors or introduction of RNAs or the proteins themselves. How are induced pluripotent stem cells used? It took a while after their initial report in human form in 2007 to get to clinical trials using differentiated cells made from the IPS cells, but we are now in that exciting phase of this still relatively new field. You can see my talk at the Future of Genomic Medicine meeting where I give an overview of some of the more exciting applications of IPS cells a few years back. These include actual clinical trials but also disease and developmental modeling. One of the more exciting areas for the latter are human brain organoids made from IPS cells. Induced pluripotent stem cells clinical trials map as of early 2021. Source, screenshot from Clinicaltrials.gov. IPS cell clinical trials: map, biotechs In terms of actual clinical trials you can see this overview by my intern Suhas here that also cites some useful papers. In terms of clinical trials, the pioneering work of Masayo Takahashi for macular degeneration got things going. Now more clinical trials are ongoing. An article published in NPJ Regenerative Medicine categorizes the PSC clinical trials found on Clinicaltrials.gov. The NPJ Regenerative Medicine report focused on a subset of 131 studies, finding that the majority of them, 77.1%, were observational and did not include the transplantation of any PSC into patients. The remaining 22.9% were interventional. A search now in 2021 found 129 Clinicaltrials.gov listings related to induced pluripotent stem cells. You can see a clinical trials map above from the database. Note that Japan, while not having that many listings, has a higher % of actual interventional clinical trials. Several biotech companies are engaged in clinical work with IPS cells including Cynata and Fate Therapeutics, just to name two. Looking to the future I predict a few more interventional IPS cell clinical trials are going to pop up soon. We’ll continue to see big impact as well from disease modeling and drug screening applications. A big question is whether for actual interventional trials where IPS cell derivatives are injected into patients, will allogeneic (other people’s cells) or autologous (your cells) will dominate. In any case, induced pluripotent stem cells have a big future including for personalized medicine.

Reply Eugene Brandon January 31, 2021 at 10:32 am Thank you Paul for this great review of iPSC from many different perspectives. Hal Weintraub and Bob Eisenman were amongst the best professors … I remember well from UW in the 1990s. And Hal’s lab’s myoD work which laid the groundwork for iPSC is not often acknowledged in the general discussions of iPSC so highlighting that research is important. Further to Don’s point, and as you mention, both allogeneic and autologous iPSC products are being developed for therapeutics, and perhaps a future blog post elaborating the various reasons and considerations for each, as well as hESC compare and contrast, might be good, including how many and which programs are pursuing each… the link to Suhas’ report is also greatly appreciated! Reply Paul Knoepfler February 1, 2021 at 9:28 am Hi Eugene. That is very cool that you remember Hal and Bob as professors back then. I like the idea of a allo vs. auto kind of blog post. Thanks! Reply Don C. Reed January 31, 2021 at 8:04 am this is a very valuable overview of ips– but i wonder if you could talk a little about the still-unresolved differences between ips and hesc? Reply Paul Knoepfler February 1, 2021 at 9:27 am Thanks, Don. My sense is that the picture overall is that properly validated IPS cells are functionally the same in almost every case as ES cells. In more subtle ways they are going to be different in some respects such as having epigenetic distinctions. Whether such differences have functional meaning isn’t clear especially clinically speaking. It is also possible in some cases for IPS cells to have picked up a few mutations along the way of their production or that just came along from the person that they were made from, but ES cells pick up mutations too as you grow them.

Private Higher Education is perhaps the fastest growing segment of post secondary education worldwide. The large majority of literature in the field deals with public higher education. The expanding segment shares some of the challenges facing public higher education but there are also some important differences that need attention. The increased demand for higher education is likely to exert pressure on the need for the expansion in both public and private universities. Response to this challenge invariably involves adoption of strategies, features and attributes of the other. For private universities, it takes the form of shedding traditional religious tags albeit not fully as a direct imperative thereby conforming to secular public universities. In the face of those realities, the study surveyed the strategies adopted by private universities as a result of challenges posed by privatization of university education in Kenya today. Two private universities namely Catholic University of Eastern Africa (CUEA) and Daystar University were studied. Data was collected through questionnaires, interviews and documentary analysis. Respondents included registrars, deans of faculties, lecturers and students. The data obtained was analyzed quantitatively using frequency distributions and percentages. The results from the two universities surveyed showed that private universities in Kenya have had a close look at the great need to reconfigure their current programmes so that they can meet the needs and challenges of the present global world. Private universities have also at some point utilized the community in determining what nature of programmes should be incorporated in their curriculum. Administration and management has also been a major since the religious affiliation has been overtaken by events and professionalism and merit has been the main consideration. Academic staff and students have been considered in exchange programmes hence getting exposure in the outside world. It is hoped that the study findings may help private universities in their reconfiguration as they offer an alternative for expanding access to higher education. Private universities could also be important incubators for innovation and future directions in teaching, administration and programming. In order to be more effective, private universities need to expand their voice in public and academic affairs.

Some traditions are too time-honored to shirk, and on Wall Street, the annual ‘top picks’ are one. Usually made at the very end or very beginning of a year, the Street’s analysts publish reviews on the stocks they believe will show the best performance in coming months – their top picks. The analysts have been analyzing each stock carefully, looking at its past and current performance, its trends on a variety of time frames, management’s plans – they take everything into account. Their recommendations provide valuable direction for building a resilient portfolio in the new year. With this in mind, we used TipRanks’ database to identify three stocks which the analysts describe as their ‘top picks’ for 2021. Talos Energy (TALO) The Gulf of Mexico has long been known as one of the world’s great hydrocarbon production regions, and Talos Energy, which produces some 48,000 barrel of oil equivalent per day from offshore operations in the Gulf, is an important player in the area. Talos finished the third quarter of 2020 running a net loss, but revenues, at $135 million, were up 53% sequentially. The company reported over $353 million in accessible liquidity to end the quarter, including $32 million in cash on hand and $321 million in available credit. In December of last year, and continuing into this January, Talos has firmed up its liquidity situation through issues of senior secured notes. The December issue, of $500 million at 12%, will be used mainly to pay down a previous note issue which comes due next year. The January issue, an additional $100 million, will be used to cover outstanding debt on the reserves-based lending facility. Both note issues are due in 2026. Highlighting TALO as his top E&P pick for 2021, Northland analyst Subash Chandra wrote, “TALO is one of the few companies that we are aware of trading at trailing PDP values without a good reason, in our view. The company has addressed the maturity wall and credit facility stresses with a December equity offering and refi. They enter 2021 with breathing room to cross the finish line with Zama and look for scaling opportunities in GoM.” To this end, Chandra rates TALO an Outperform (i.e. Buy), and puts a $19 price target, indicating the potential for 91% growth in the coming months. (To watch Chandra’s track record, click here) Overall, with five analyst reviews on file, including 4 Buys and a single Hold, Talos gets a Strong Buy rating from the analyst consensus. Shares are priced at $9.96, and their $14.33 average target gives ~44% upside on the one-year horizon. (See TALO stock analysis on TipRanks) Twilio (TWLO) Next up is Twilio, a Silicon Valley cloud communications company. Twilio’s software services allow customers to run their telecom service through their office computer servers, making available not just phone calls but chats, texts, and video conversations. The service includes security features such as user verification. The COVID pandemic, and the shift to remote work that was enforced on the economy, has been a boon to Twilio. The shift put a premium on stable and reliable remote connections and telecommuting, and the company’s revenues, which were already strong and showing sequential gains in every quarter, rose to $447 million in 3Q20. Subsequently, Twilio’s shares have skyrocketed 225% over the past 52 weeks. Oppenheimer analyst Ittai Kiddron sees the company on a solid foundation for continued growth, writing, “While some puts and takes are in place in 1Q21, Twilio’s long-term opportunity remains underappreciated by investors. We believe the company’s differentiated product portfolio (communications/data) and evolving GTM approach (hiring/GSI) can drive G2K/int’l adoption/expansion and enable >30% rev. growth at scale (>$4B/$6B) through CY23/24.” The 5-star analyst chooses TWLO as a ‘top pick,’ based on his upbeat analysis of Twilio. That comes with an Outperform (i.e. Buy) rating and a $550 price target implying one-year growth of 41%. (To watch Kiddron’s track record, click here) How does Kiddron’s bullish bet weigh in against the Street? Overall, Wall Street likes Twilio, a fact clear from the 21 analyst reviews on record. No fewer than 18 of those are Buys, against just 3 Holds. However, the stock’s recent share gains have pushed the price up to $388.65, leaving room for just 2% upside before hitting the $396.88 average price target. (See TWLO stock analysis on TipRanks) SI-Bone (SIBN) Medical tech is a field of near-endless possibility, and SI-Bone has found a niche. The company specializes in the diagnosis sand treatment of pain and dysfunction in the sacroiliac joint between the lower back and pelvis. The company’s revenues dropped off between 4Q19 and 2Q20, as the corona crisis put a damper on elective medical procedures. That turned around in Q3, when the economy began to open up; many industries, including the medical field, saw a burst of pent-up demand that has not yet dissipated. In raw numbers, SIBN reported a 42% sequential revenue increase for Q3, with the top line at $20.3 million. Year-over-year, revenues were up 26%. During the quarter, the company passed 50,000 iFuse procedures, handled by 2,200 surgeons around the world. The company had $132 million in liquid assets available at the end of the quarter, against $39.4 million in long-term debt. Looking forward, the company guides toward an 8% to 10% yoy gain in full-year revenue for 2020, expecting that top line at $73 million to $74 million. Analyst David Saxon, covering the stock for Needham, says, “SIBN has shown resiliency during the pandemic, and we believe its growth drivers can allow it to beat consensus revenue throughout 2021. Further, we expect SIBN’s 2021 sales force expansion, building momentum in surgeon training, upcoming product launches, and direct-to-patient marketing will all contribute to strong revenue over the next few years.” Saxon uses these points to support his ‘top pick’ status for SIBN. His average price target is $35, suggesting an upside of 23%, and fitting nicely with his Buy rating. (To watch Saxon’s track record, click here) All in all, SI-Bone gets a Strong Buy from Wall Street, and it is unanimous – based on 5 positive reviews. The shares are selling for $28.48, and their $33.80 average target implies room for ~19% growth over the course of 2021.

B Esmaeli, A Naderi, A Ahmadi, M Wolin, F Eftekhari, S Safar, O Eton. Melanoma-Associated Retinopathy: A Harbinger of Recurrence for Cutaneous Melanoma. The Internet Journal of Ophthalmology and Visual Science. 2001 Volume 1 Number 2. Abstract Purpose: To describe a patient with the syndrome of melanoma-associated retinopathy.Methods: A 65-year-old woman who had been disease free for more than 10 years after excision of a pretibial cutaneous melanoma presented in May 2001 with loss of vision and flickering lights. Visual field testing, electroretinography, and a comprehensive ophthalmologic examination were performed. Melanoma-associated retinopathy was suspected. The patient's serum was subjected to an immunohistochemical reaction with bipolar retinal cells in culture. A staging work-up was initiated.Results: The visual acuity was compromised in both eyes, and the visual fields were constricted, particularly in the left eye. The electroretinogram showed decreased b-wave amplitudes. The patient's serum showed positive immunoreactivity against the retinal bipolar cells, supporting the diagnosis of melanoma-associated retinopathy. Computed tomography of the abdomen revealed a large porta hepatis mass, which was biopsied with fine-needle aspiration and proved to be melanoma. The patient was treated with a short course of oral prednisone (40 mg/day for 1 week followed by 20 mg/day for 2 weeks), and her visual dysfunction resolved.Conclusion: Melanoma-associated retinopathy may occur many years after the initial diagnosis of cutaneous melanoma. Visual loss associated with central scotomata and decreased b-wave amplitudes on electroretinography in a patient with a history of cutaneous melanoma should prompt a thorough staging work-up in search of metastatic disease. Introduction Melanoma-associated retinopathy (MAR) is a form of retinal degeneration that is a paraneoplastic phenomenon occurring in association with metastatic melanoma.1 It has been postulated that MAR is due to a reaction between the retinal bipolar cells and circulating melanoma-associated autoantibodies.2MAR is characterized by the rather sudden onset of visual loss together with night blindness and perception of shimmering or flickering lights and spots. Other features of this syndrome are characteristic congenital stationary night blindness-like pattern on electroretinography, including reduced b-wave amplitudes; central scotomata; and the presence of circulating antibodies as demonstrated via an immunohistochemical reaction to retinal bipolar cells.1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13 MAR is a rare diagnosis. Nineteen cases of MAR have previously been reported in the literature.1-13 Herein, we report a case of MAR in a patient in whom a recurrence of melanoma was discovered more than ten years after the initial diagnosis because of the ophthalmologic diagnosis of MAR. Case Report A 65-year-old woman with a history of cutaneous malignant melanoma was referred to the Ophthalmology Clinic at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center in May 2001 because of a sudden onset of bilateral scotomata and blurred vision. The patient had a history of a melanoma of the right pretibial skin with Breslow thickness of 1 mm, Clark's level III, which was diagnosed and excised in 1984. In 1986, clinically positive lymph nodes were detected in the patient's right groin, and she underwent lymph node dissection followed by adjuvant therapy consisting of combined biochemotherapy. The patient was examined by an oncologist annually between 1986 and 1996 and was considered free of disease during this period. In 1996, the patient was advised that she no longer needed to be monitored for recurrence of her melanoma, and she stopped visiting her oncologist. In April 2001, the patient developed visual symptoms that included floaters and a sensation of “water splashing in front of her left eye”, which prompted her to see an ophthalmologist. She also experienced difficulty with her central vision and sensed that her peripheral vision was constricted. She was evaluated by her local ophthalmologist, who found her visual acuity to be 20/30 in the right eye and 20/40 in the left eye. The patient underwent formal visual field testing, which revealed a dense central viusla field defecit in the right eye (Figure 1A) and a moderately severe visual field defect in the left eye, particularly inferiorly (Figure 1B). Findings on the rest of the ocular examination were essentially normal except for mild depigmentation of the inferior retina in the left eye. MAR was suspected. The diagnosis of MAR was confirmed by a positive immunohistochemical reaction between the patient's serum and the bipolar retinal cells in culture; this test was performed at a laboratory at the University of California, Davis, using previously described methods.2,11,13 The patient was treated with oral prednisone 40 mg a day for 1 week and then 20 mg a day for 2 weeks. The prednisone treatment resulted in remarkable improvement of the visual acuity and visual fields. In May 2001, the patient was referred to the Ophthalmology Clinic at M. D. Anderson Cancer Center for further evaluation and treatment. Figure 1 Figure 1. Results of Humphrey visual field analysis in April 2001. A) In the right eye, there was a severe central visual field defect. Figure 2 Figure 1: B) In the left eye, there was a moderate central and inferior defect. Findings on the ophthalmologic examination at M. D. Anderson were the same as those on the initial examination in April 2001 except that the visual acuity had improved to 20/20 in the right eye and 20/25 in the left eye and the visual fields had improved as well (Figure 2 A,B). Findings on electroretinography were significant for reduced b-wave amplitudes and reversed a/b ratio; these findings were observed in both eyes but were more significant in the left eye (Figure 3). A systemic work-up was undertaken, including magnetic resonance imaging of the brain and computed tomography of the abdomen and pelvis. A large porta hepatis/peripancreatic mass was discovered on computed tomography of the abdomen (Figure 4). This mass was biopsied with fine-needle aspiration and confirmed to be metastatic malignant melanoma. The patient was treated with several cycles of biochemotherapy consisting of cisplatin, vinblastine, dacarbazine, interleukin-2, and alpha-interferon. Figure 3 Figure 2. Results of visual field analysis repeated in May 2001 after a short course of oral prednisone showed marked improvement in the right eye (A) as well as the left eye (B). Figure 4 Figure 2. Left eye (B). Figure 5 Figure 3. Single-flash scotopic electroretinogram revealed a near-normal a-wave (1) but a markedly reduced b-wave amplitude (2). Figure 6 Figure 4.

Note two nodules arising from the lateral limb of the right adrenal gland (closed arrows), representing either metastasis, or non-functioning adenomata. Discussion Since the original description by Sawyer et al,14 several cases of paraneoplastic retinopathy, most commonly cancer-associated retinopathy, have been described.15-16 MAR is a rare form of paraneoplastic syndrome that is distinct from cancer-associated retinopathy. Cancer-associated retinopathy is associated with epithelial cancers (most commonly small cell carcinoma of the lung) and is characterized by gradual onset of night blindness with progressive retinal degeneration that may lead to an extinguished electroretinogram reminiscent of findings in retinitis pigmentosa.15 In contrast, MAR is associated with a history of cutaneous melanoma, and is associated with decreased b-wave amplitudes on electroretinography reminiscent of the pattern seen in congenital stationary night blindness.2,6-8 Whereas cancer-associated retinopathy is associated with immunohistochemical reactivity of affected patients' serum with the inner segments and nuclei of rods and cones and the outer plexiform layer of the retina, in MAR, affected patients' serum reacts with the bipolar cell layer of the retina.2 Two mechanisms have been postulated as the pathophysiologic basis for paraneoplastic retinopathy: direct toxic damage to the retina by a circulating product of the tumor cells, or damage by autoantibodies directed against a tumor-specific epitope that cross-react with specific retinal antigens. In the case of cancer-associated retinopathy, a specific retinal antigen, recoverin, is thought to be the retinal component that cross-reacts with the circulating autoantibodies.17 Although a consistent pattern of immunoreactivity with the bipolar retinal cell layer has been found in most reported cases of MAR, to our knowledge, the specific retinal antigen responsible for immunostaining of rod bipolar cells by sera of patients with MAR has not yet been identified. Also, it is not clear how the putative antibodies against the retinal bipolar cells cross the blood-retinal barrier and cause the observed retinal dysfunction. Although some investigators have found that immunosupressive therapy may not be effective in restoring vision in patients with MAR,2,11,18,19 the visual loss associated with MAR in our patient was remarkably responsive to a short course of oral steroids, perhaps because of early diagnosis. Prolonged use of immunosupressive therapy may pose a theoretical disadvantage of hampering the immune attack against the melanoma cells. The characteristic immunohistochemical pattern of reactivity with retinal bipolar cells seen in MAR is not pathagnomonic for this syndrome as this pattern of reactivity can also occur in congenital stationary night blindness.20,21 A history of cutaneous melanoma and onset of visual symptoms late in life suggest MAR as a more likely diagnosis than congenital stationary night blindness. The case we have reported here demonstrates the importance of recognizing MAR as a harbinger of recurrence of- -in most cases- - previously diagnosed cutaneous melanoma. MAR may occur after many years of apparent disease-free status. A relatively acute onset of visual loss associated with night blindness, central scotomata on visual field testing, and decreased b-wave amplitudes on electroretinography in a patient with a history of cutaneous melanoma should prompt a thorough staging work-up in search of recurrent metastatic disease. The patient's serum should be sent for special immunohistochemical testing with cultured retinal cells to confirm the diagnosis of MAR so that appropriate systemic therapy can be instituted as soon as possible.

The ancient port city of Jaffa is one of the oldest cities in Israel and one of the oldest sea ports in the world. It is also called the “Old City of Jaffa” or simply called “Old City.” Old Jaffa has a strong link to the historic events that took place in Israel in particular and, generally, the eastern Mediterranean basin ever since the recorded events of settlement there. Old Jaffa is built on a high cliff jutting from the shoreline into the sea and the port lies on its base. “Welcome to Old Jaffa” History and origins Legend claims it is named for Noah’s son Jefet, who is said to have settled there after the flood. Still others cite the similarity between Jaffa or Yaffo in Hebrew and Yaffa, the Hebrew word for beauty. The multiple layers of human civilization that comprise its ancient tell (or mound), have yielded up discoveries as unique as an Iron Age altar with a lion’s skull. Ancient Egyptian papyrus tells of the city’s conquest by Pharaoh Thutmose III in the 15th century B.C.E. Thutmose’s general used his own version of the Trojan Horse by sending baskets of gifts to the king of Jaffa with Egyptian soldiers hidden inside. Later Jaffa is mentioned in the Bible as the port through which Solomon brought cedars of Lebanon to build the Temple. Jonah set sail from Jaffa’s port, when he sought to flee the Lord and was swallowed by a whale. In the New Testament, Jaffa was the home of Simon the Tanner, on whose roof Peter had a vision that changed Christianity’s relationship to Judaism ever since. In Greek mythology, a rock at the entrance to Jaffa’s port is where Perseus saved Andromeda by slaying the Hydra. Old Jaffa today, and things to do there Today Old Jaffa is home to many galleries, its charming alleyways, restaurants, design shops, street art and terrific views of Tel Aviv and the Mediterranean coast make it a great place to explore and enjoy a later afternoon stroll. During the summer months a series of performances is held in the old town known as Jaffa Nights. If you choose to visit Old Jaffa, don’t miss the sculpture with a live suspended orange tree at the end of Mazal Arye Street. Another one of the must-do things in the Old Jaffa is — you guess it — shopping! As well as exploring the charming streets and alleyways and discovering its rich history and art, Old Jaffa is home to the biggest flea market to be found in Tel Aviv-Yafo (Jaffa), which is just right at the port. You can other find some hidden shopping gems there. Within the context of Tel Aviv-Jaffa’s world-class food scene, Old Jaffa is known for its excellent and diverse dining options. With the majority of Jaffa’s population being Arab, you will find no shortage of places to sample the best traditional Middle Eastern dishes. There is also a few notable high-end restaurants, many of which offer both Israeli and international cuisine, as well as quaint and charming cafes. Old Jaffa is also home to lively bars and nightclubs. Most bars and nightclubs there offer happy hour deals. Old Jaffa is, in fact, the perfect place to have a bar crawl. There are some bars that also function as art galleries with a particularly fun atmosphere. It’s impossible to end your tour in the Old Jaffa without checking at least one or a couple of art galleries there. The vibrant energy of Tel Aviv is expressed all across in this relatively young city — as evidenced by its street graffiti to several galleries, both established and recent. Old Jaffa, though, cannot be left behind — the community has several established and up-and-coming art galleries that give Tel Aviv’s art galleries a run for their money. But these places only add more “zing” to the already-lively and thriving Israeli art scene.

On Monday I shared with you a really cute Thank You card inspired by another card I had previously shared here on my blog. I am so excited that you are all learning so much from these miniseries! Sometimes just seeing HOW someone does something makes it so much easier to figure it out when you are trying it later. Today's card is very similar to the one I showed you on Monday but I felt that the bright color and lively pattern of the paper and the accompanying elements made for a totally different project and I just had to share it with you. Take a look: I mean, come on, it's SO CLOSE to this card but doesn't it just “feel” so different? Personally, I love churning out cards like these, using up scraps of patterned paper and left over punchies because A) it's super easy and B) I am NEVER without a card to send out to anyone who needs one.

Yes, I am back home from my nearly two weeks vacation in Suriname! I arrived back home this morning! I had the best time there! I had a lot of fun with my family! I really miss them so much! It was good to see my grandmother again. My grandmother had a stroke and it was weird seeing her. She lost alot of weight. Half her body is parralized. She can’t walk at all anymore. She is in a wheel chair. Grandma was very surprised and happy when she saw me. She knew I was coming to Suriname, but she didn’t know when. It was a cry fast! Regardless of her situation she still could laugh like the best! The weather was outrageously hot! I got an ugly tan! Hundreds of pictures has been made. I will add them to my photo album real soon! Had a lot of laughs with my cousins! So much fun we had. I will make a travel report as well, real soon! I am off for another week. I have to go back to work next week on Friday! So not looking forward to it! Oh well, it’s back to reality! Just wanted to pop in and say that I am back home safe! Hope you are doing well! I’m a bit tired. And feeling down because I miss my family! 0 Comments By Leander Welcome Hello, I'm Leander. Welcome to my blog! I am a D-List YouTuber and a Twitch Affiliate!

She's written best-selling cookbooks, hosted a food TV show, and even cooked for Elton John, The Rolling Stones, and Prince. Back in July, she released the 20th anniversary edition of her first cookbook, LaBelle Cuisine. She talks with Dan about touring the segregated South in the ‘60s, the viral video that made her sweet potato pie a Walmart sensation, and the one recipe in her cookbook that's perfect for women going through menopause.

It may seem like everything the talented soprano touches turns to gold, but behind the scenes at her music school, Flynn Performing Arts, it takes time as well as talent to bring out the best in her students. The waiting list is long to get into the school that Fiona established six years ago – but that's no real surprise. Scrolling through its Facebook page brings up post after post on the terrific achievements by her students, from Feis to TV shows, to stage performances for the school and even some children performing across the water in the West End. For this week's podcast, Fiona tells us all about her journey from the Ulster orchestra to the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, as she built the career that she loves. She speaks about the hard work that goes into any performance, the pride she feels for her students achievements – big or small, and tells us whether she believes anyone can carry a tune -or not! tv overnight success performing arts scotland west end ulster sings royal conservatoire feis fiona flynn scrolling Ayodele Ayetigbo sings the blues USAVFHF Play Episode Listen Later Oct 30, 2021 29:10 Singing FERUBANIC BLUES --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/ayodele-ayetigbo/support blues sings ayodele God Sings Over You Our Daily Bread Podcast | Our Daily Bread Play Episode Listen Later Oct 29, 2021 Seventeen months after our first child—a boy—was born, along came a little girl. I was overjoyed at the thought of having a daughter, but I was also a bit uneasy because while I knew a few things about little boys, this was uncharted territory. We named her Sarah, and one of my privileges was rocking her to sleep so my wife could rest. I’m not sure why, but I started trying to sing her to sleep, and the song of choice was “You Are My Sunshine.” Whether holding her in my arms or standing above her in her crib, I quite literally sang over her, and loved every minute of it. She’s in her 20s now, and I still call her Sunshine. We usually think about angels singing. But when was the last time you thought about God singing? That’s right—God singing. And furthermore, when was the last time you thought about Him singing over you? Zephaniah is clear in his message to Jerusalem, “The Lord your God” takes great delight in you, so much so that He “rejoice[s] over [you] with singing” (3:17). Although this message speaks directly to Jerusalem, it’s likely God sings over us—those who have received Jesus as Savior—too! What song does He sing? Well, Scripture’s not clear on that. But the song is born out of His love, so we can trust it’s true and noble and right and pure and lovely and admirable (Philippians 4:8). god lord seventeen scripture philippians jesus christ savior jerusalem devotional sings rbc bible study you are my sunshine our daily bread daily devotional zephaniah Jeff Horn Sings to celebrate international teachers day Marnie and Campo Play Episode Listen Later Oct 28, 2021 6:12 Jeff Horn has joined School students to sing a collaborative song celebrating international teachers day ! international teachers school celebrate sings jeff horn Trending - Houston native sings anthem at Game 2, Megan Thee Stallion World Series Promo Dana & Jay In The Morning Play Episode Listen Later Oct 28, 2021 1:27 Houston native sings national anthem before Game 2 of World Series....and Megan Thee Stallion has dropped a new hype video for the World Series game world series native trending anthem promo sings megan thee stallion game 2 GHS - Big Boned Prince(Wiggy) sings "Sandwiches I Love" Hill-Man Morning Show Audio Play Episode Listen Later Oct 28, 2021 1:50 Big Boned Prince(Wiggy) sings "Sandwiches I Love" According to a new poll done by French's mustard, America's five favorite sandwiches are: Cheesesteaks . . . burgers . . . pulled pork sandwiches . . .

We feel like we have no reason to sing with joy. Between spiritual struggles, life not going the way you thought, and the messiness of the world, joy seems to have disappeared.

Who Sings This? What Song is This? A Variety of Ways to Use Music Recognition and that Magical App Shazam Blind Abilities Play Episode Listen Later Oct 19, 2021 12:00 Have you ever spent time listening to music, only to run across a song where you just can't recall its title, or the artist who wrote or performed it? Blind Abilities presents a demonstration of the music recognition feature in iOS which is a handy and really cool feature that allows you to quickly identify songs and artists that you hear around you, and even songs that are playing on your own phone or tablet. in fact, there are a few quick and easy ways to find out this information, and that's exactly what we'll be reviewing today. Picture yourself in a boat on a river, or out in the car listening to the radio, in a store hearing music from speakers in the ceiling, or listening to a music streaming service or any other source of music where you hear a song playing. In this demonstration, Pete Lane demonstrates how to use the Shazam app to capture and process the audio, and fill you in on its title, composer and performer. He walks us through how to ask Siri to identify the information about music you might hear around you, or even on your own device. Finally, imagine you are scrolling through YouTube, Dropbox or another streaming app on your phone, and a random song plays that you are unfamiliar with. here you can simply open your control center and tap on the music recognition widget and get the information you want. how do I place a music widget in my control center you might ask? well it's easy. Go to settings on your Home Screen and perform a single-finger double-tap. Flick down to control center and do another single-finger double tap. Flick to Music Recognition and double tap on “Insert Music recognition”. This will add it to the Control Center. There are two easy ways to open the Control Center to invoke Music Recognition or for any other reason. First, place your finger in the Status Bar which is the thin strip that runs across the top of each screen on your device. Then you can do either: Run one finger down the screen from the top of the page until you hear the first of two audible clicks. You can do this anywhere on the screen but it may be easier to do so along the edge, using your phone case as a guide to keep your movement straight Perform a 3 finger swipe up from the bottom of the screen. In both cases you will hear Voiceover say “Control Center” as it opens. Once your Control Center is open, simply navigate to your Music Recognition element and perform a single finger double tap and it will begin processing the song and tell you it's composer and performer. Be sure to join Pete as he demonstrates this cool feature that will never leave us high and dry for specifics about the music we love. Be sure to join Pete as he demonstrates this cool feature that will never leave us high and dry for specifics about the music we love. we want to thank the composers and artists who contributed to our musical line-up today: Special thanks go out to: * Chee Chau - Big Bang * Jim Brinkman - Home Again * Marcus Roberts - Express Mail Delivery * Jeff Thompson - On the Rebound, performed by Archie Anderson * Pete Lane - Greater Heights and Going Out Tonight * We were able to demonstrate the Shazam app and other music recognition features with the help of these people and their songs without fear of copyright infringement issues. * Shazam is a free stand-alone app available in the App Store.

If static electricity falls on a metal panel, the image on the device disappears and flickers. Reboot helps. The case panel contacts only the case of the screen. isolating the screen from the metal panel of the case can solve the problem but with construction of my case it is too difficult. Did anyone try to ground the case?

You can just wire a GND wire to the screw on the PCB side. This will ground the Frontplate through the metal standoff/spacer.

Led by Australian unions, the Hunter Jobs Alliance is organizing workers, environmentalists, and Hunter Valley communities to oppose the right-wing narrative on climate change. We don’t have to choose between protecting jobs and saving the planet: a plan based on public investment can do both. Workers overlooking a mine in the upper Hunter Valley.

Yes, Jacobin Has a Board Game Now Editors Jeremy Corbyn: Climate Crisis Is a Class Issue Jeremy Corbyn Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: What the NBA Championship Means to Me Kareem Abdul-Jabbar R.E.M.’s Michael Stipe Talks to Jacobin Michael Stipe Interview by Daniel Lopez The Hunter Valley in New South Wales (NSW) stretches from about 120 kilometers north of Sydney well into the hinterland, encompassing some 29,000 square kilometers and 620,000 residents. Although it’s famous for its wineries, in recent years the Hunter Valley has become a flash point for Australia’s debate over climate change. Forty-one coal mines in the region employ fourteen thousand people, while many tens of thousands more work in connected businesses. Scott Morrison’s Liberal-National Coalition wants to double down on fossil fuels, encouraging businesses to extract as much coal and gas as they can. The conservative wing of the Australian Labor Party agrees. Together, they argue that action on climate change will lead to catastrophic job losses and long-term stagnation for the Hunter Valley. The Hunter Jobs Alliance (HJA), launched in March this year, rejects this narrative. Spearheaded by the Australian Manufacturing Workers’ Union (AMWU), the HJA is a coalition that brings together thirteen unions with community and environmental groups. They are putting forward a vision for the Hunter Valley to make a transition away from fossil fuels that will place workers, communities, and the environment first. The HJA’s plan calls for community control, public investment and ownership of infrastructure, green manufacturing, and renewable energy projects. The Alliance is pushing back against the conservative claim that climate action must result in lost jobs and lower living standards. The AMWU’s national secretary Steve Murphy grew up in the Hunter Valley, and worked there for most of his career, both as a fitter and turner, and as a union organizer. He spoke to Jacobin about the Hunter Jobs Alliance and the need for unity between the workers’ movement and the ecological movement. DL Former Labor senator Doug Cameron recently shared a story from his time as a shop steward with the AMWU’s predecessor. In 1975, when the governor general dismissed the Labor prime minister Gough Whitlam, Doug Cameron and his workmates walked off the job straight away. The situation for unions has changed a good deal since then, however. What challenges has the AMWU has faced, especially in the Hunter Valley, in the last few decades? SM Liddell Power Station and Bayswater Power Station on Lake Liddell in the Hunter Valley. (Wikimedia Commons) Doug worked as a fitter and turner at the Liddell Power Station before becoming the assistant state secretary of the AMWU in 1986. When I first joined the union as a young apprentice, he was national secretary. When I was an organizer, he went into the senate, where he was a fierce advocate for socialism and workers’ rights. He was a very principled leader of our union, who made many personal sacrifices for the movement. While there’s been a lot of change in the AMWU since Doug’s days as a leader on the job, our commitment to mindful militancy has remained firm. On many occasions, workers in those power stations have had to take a stand. That hasn’t changed since 1975. When I was the organizer up in the Valley in 2008, we shut down those power stations for almost two weeks over safety. Workers were being paid very badly and a host of contractors weren’t receiving basic amenities. It was a big story — the media claimed the AMWU was trying to force a power blackout. In reality, workers employed by six or seven different contractors realized they were being exploited and treated poorly by a very profitable power station, and said they wouldn’t go back to work until it was safe. At the time, there was a hearing in the Australian Industrial Relations Commission that tried to order workers back to work. But we’ve got a right to refuse to work when it’s unsafe. We stood our ground, and we got our issues fixed. When I was the organizer up in the Hunter Valley in 2008, we shut down those power stations for almost two weeks over safety. Since then, we’ve seen conditions for contractors in the power stations improve. With all the legislation that’s thrown at workers to tie their hands, they can feel powerless. Our job as a union is to remind them of their power. DL For years manufacturing has declined, as have other industries. At the same time, there’s been a broader decline in union density. How has this affected blue-collar workers and the AMWU? SM Manufacturing has been under attack in a number of areas, with private capital chasing profit while the government signs off on terrible free trade agreements. Every time a boss says it’s cheaper to move overseas and exploit workers there, it’s always blue-collar workers and the community who have to pick up the pieces. Private capital tries to fool workers that there will be something for them at the end of the rainbow. But there never has been. DL The mainstream media and major parties have argued that moving toward a net-zero emission economy powered by renewables will necessarily lead to job losses. How has this argument played out in the Hunter Valley? SM It’s a conservative framing that, to be honest, has mostly been accepted by both sides of politics. It has arrested action on climate change for over a decade. When you frame the debate that way, it tells workers they need to choose between financial security and the environment. Because climate change feels like it’s far away, people are more likely to choose the option they think will immediately help their family. In truth, the framing is false. When I started talking about the issue to union members and to workers generally, the best way forward wasn’t to debate whether climate scientists are right or not. It’s more powerful to say that private capital is making decisions in distant boardrooms that will put a question mark over workers’ livelihoods. I was an apprentice when they announced the closure of BHP Steel in Newcastle and a young tradesman when it happened. The BHP workers were fooled into believing that a nice redundancy package and a Technical and Further Education (TAFE) course would give them a bright future. We learned from that experience, and others like it, that, as a rule, one-third of workers move on to a comparable job that doesn’t pay too badly and has some job security. Another third of workers will go on to insecure, low-paid, low-dignity work. And another third never work again. When you frame the debate as a choice between financial security and the environment, because climate change feels like it’s far away, people are more likely to choose the option they think will immediately help their family. When I was touring workplaces, I went and spoke to one of my mates, Luke, who I did my apprenticeship with. He’s a fitter and turner, and now he works in the coal mines. I asked him about the stuff denying climate change he posts on Facebook. He told me: “We know that something is going on and we don’t trust the mining bosses. But it feels like there’s nobody in our corner.” When I asked him about the role he expected the union to play, he told me he wanted the union to be in our corner, not just defending the jobs we’ve got, but building jobs for the future. From there, Luke told a bigger story. A lot of workers in mining know it’s going to be around for ten or more years, and they’re going to be okay. But their biggest concern is that they don’t want their kids to have to move away just to get a job. As a union, we’re working with environmentalists to throw out the “jobs versus the environment” framing. When environmentalists and blue-collar workers throw rocks at each other, the mining bosses rub their hands together and line their pockets. Good jobs and a thriving environment are not counterposed. DL Conservatives — along with many in the Labor Party — have tried to pit inner-city progressives against blue-collar workers, especially workers in rural areas. How much traction does that particular narrative have in the Hunter Valley? SM I grew up in regional New South Wales and when I was an organizer, I worked both there and in Queensland. If you go to any regional town, they’ll tell you that they don’t like people from the big cities telling them what’s good for them. A lot of people go to the regions to make speeches — not many go there to listen. When I toured the Hunter Valley, it was to listen. A lot of people forget that the union movement was born in regional Australia. You can see it in Henry Lawson’s poems — he captured the spirit of what it was like to be working in colonial Australia. Looking after your mate and making sure everyone gets a fair go is our lifeblood. We haven’t lost that in the Hunter Valley. The idea of unionism is people coming together to talk about solutions to the problems we all face. When we’re talking to environmentalists, our approach is to say: look, we can work together and find a solution that’s in both of our interests. DL Can you tell us more about the Hunter Jobs Alliance? What are its goals? SM The idea for the Hunter Jobs Alliance was born at an AMWU delegates meeting in 2018, with many delegates from coal mining. We wanted to return to the kind of working-class politics I was talking about before. We invited a host of different groups to talk to us about economics, about the women’s movement and the struggle of Indigenous Australians, and about environmentalism. Felicity Wade from the Labor Environment Action Network addressed the meeting. I wasn’t sure how her talk was going to be received. But the delegates recognized that the workers’ movement and the environmental movement have a rich history of solidarity. We’re all tired of letting conservatives divide us. As part of that discussion, we came up with a line that was the catalyst for the Hunter Jobs Alliance: “When working-class politics are at the head of the environmental movement, we’ll all win.” We’ve built a coalition of thirteen environmental groups and unions, and compiled a list of projects that will not only create jobs, but also take real action on climate change. We’ve built a coalition of thirteen environmental groups and unions, and compiled a list of projects that will not only create jobs, but also take real action on climate change. There are enough think tanks and opinions out there already. We’ve focused on putting boots on the ground and developing real community ownership of this process. We formally launched the Hunter Jobs Alliance in early March. Over the coming weeks, we will focus on coal jobs. In addition to proposing new renewable projects, infrastructure, electric bus retrofits, and investment in education, we’re demanding that a statutory authority be set up to plan how we’re going to respond to manage the coming changes, with a clear focus on justice for workers. DL Your comments about the alliance between environmentalists and unions reminds me of the Builders Labourers Federation (BLF), which helped organize the green bans. Jack Mundey pioneered that strategy while he led the NSW BLF in the 1970s. Is that kind of thinking part of the Hunter Jobs Alliance? SM When Felicity spoke to us, she reminded us about that history of solidarity. The union movement in Australia, in its early days, fought for eight hours work, eight hours rest, and eight hours recreation. But Jack Mundey had a bigger vision — he saw that workers and our families should be able to live in any area of our cities and towns, and that we need green spaces when we’re enjoying our recreation. The BLF’s story resonated with us and reminded us that what we’re doing isn’t new. DL Let’s return to the theme of community control, which seems to be the key to helping workers in regional areas take control over their future. What does community control look like? SM Community control means an equal share in the opportunities of our region, and also in the pain. Too often, it’s workers and communities that bear the full cost of the decisions made by private capital. Community control also means organizing communities in a way that’s firmly linked to local customs and culture. Our union has done some important work in Collie in Western Australia and in the Latrobe Valley in Victoria. Those projects are working toward the same goal, but they look different because of the community cultures that exists. Members of the Hunter Jobs Alliance. (Steve Murphy / Twitter) The AMWU is a blue-collar union, so we tend to focus on creating the kinds of jobs that make it possible for workers — with some level of training — to go on to another job that gives them dignity, respect, and good pay and conditions. Other unions bring different priorities: for example, a decent public education system so that kids growing up in the community can learn the skills for the future. Or they may focus on strong TAFE institutions and a well-resourced community sector. Federal and state governments have to ensure the necessary framework is developed to pull these different aspects together. A decent health system has got to be part of the response as well. As you drive into one of the towns up in the Hunter Valley, there’s a sign that says: “We’ve got two cemeteries and no hospital.” The idea is to get drivers on the highway to slow down. But for me, it raises the need to look at this as a community issue. DL The Green New Deal has gained a lot of traction worldwide, and there are many different variations on it and the idea of a Just Transition. Is there one approach that you favor? SM To me, these are different ways of labelling the same process. All of them attempt to chart a path to a sustainable environment that also provides good jobs and social cohesion. In Australia, conservatives have poisoned some of these terms, so we need to think deeply about what language will work. The policy of a Just Transition is sound. But the campaign and the message needs to be developed over time, to bring working-class people with us. As we saw in the last federal election, if you don’t bring people with us, the best policies won’t ever be realized. We should put in the hard work at the start to make sure that we’re speaking the same language as workers, and proposing solutions that represent their aspirations. DL What kind of language or framing do you think would be most effective? SM When you talk to blue-collar workers who are yet to be convinced, the message that there’s “no transition without a jobs transition” has made headway. However, this left some environmentalists feeling alienated. So we modified the message to say “we can have both climate action and job creation.” And we’re finding that it resonates. At the core, what we’re saying to activists and workers — and even the Labor Party — is that no matter how you view this issue, we can all win if we talk about new jobs at the same time as talking about real climate action. I’m not saying the messaging is perfect, and of course, a lot of conservatives pick out the Hunter Valley as a target. But more workers realize that the problem is coming on fast, and we don’t trust politicians or mining bosses to have our back. Only the workers’ movement has the power to build this kind of coalition, bringing together communities, environmentalists, and unions. DL The Hunter Jobs Alliance demands public investment. There’s a debate to be had, though, about different types of public investment. Many on the Right simply support public subsidies or tax exemptions for businesses. On the center-left, there’s the “public-private partnership” approach, typically preferred by state Labor governments. And then there’s direct investment in publicly owned services and utilities. Is there one of these approaches that the Hunter Jobs Alliance supports in particular? SM The issue you raise boils down to one simple fact: we cannot leave an economic transition of this size to private capital. Private capital only makes decisions in the interests of maximizing profit. We have got to manage this transition in a way that recognizes the system is broken and doesn’t serve the interests of workers or our community. The public-private partnership model is also completely flawed. It privatizes profits and socializes losses. Public ownership and investment are a key part of the transition. If we’re going to rebuild a post-pandemic economy that serves the interests of the community, the government needs to play a role. There will be a lot of political pressure against this. But with interest rates at record lows and renewable energy so cheap and profitable, it would be madness for the government to miss the opportunity to borrow money and invest in major infrastructure. On top of that, we need a plan to reinvigorate domestic manufacturing. That presents us with a golden opportunity to turn some of the ideas associated with the HJA into reality, and to create hundreds of thousands of new, local jobs, particularly in regional areas. We need big, nation-building projects, from world-class urban transport systems to inland rail and transport corridors. The transition is also an opportunity to future-proof our major transport, energy, water, and telecommunication needs. We need big, nation-building projects, from world-class urban transport systems to inland rail and transport corridors, particularly in NSW, Victoria, and Queensland. We need projects that cater to our future energy needs, including Snowy Hydro 2.0, offshore wind farms, or large-scale hydrogen production. We also need to take back public ownership of our national electricity grid and upgrade it. On top of all that, we’ve got the capacity for a world-class shipbuilding industry. All of those projects will require significant government investment — which should mean that they’re publicly owned, in some cases strategically partnering with domestic industry for procurement purposes and long-term planning. If our government were to own or co-own projects like these, it would boost local business and we could invest the proceeds in research and technology, as well as improving job security, pay, and the quality of life for all workers. DL What do you think it will take politically to make this vision a reality? SM Rejecting conservative framing is crucial. The conservatives have outmaneuvered us by creating narrow frames that constrain our sense of what’s possible. They’ve also made use of groups on their hard-right flank, letting them build up a public profile and push the argument in a more conservative direction. That way, when the mainstream right comes in with a proposal, it looks more sensible and centrist than it really is. The Left doesn’t do that. It’s about time we started talking more seriously about organizing and about the bold action that’s needed to claw back the center. This means being unapologetic about our views and our intentions. There’s a mood all across the community to revitalize Australian manufacturing. In regional areas, the idea that the government should be playing a bigger role really resonates. And certainly, the perception amongst workers — blue-collar workers in particular — is that our government doesn’t have a plan or vision for the future. But on our side, we’re still looking through the narrow conservative frame and talking about managing the economy. When you take a step back and ask who will manage the economy in the best interests of workers, it changes the narrative. If we step back even further and ask what our decisions would look like if we built an economy that serves the best interests of workers, we open up a different discussion altogether. We have an opportunity to learn what workers expect, and to create the kind of bold, forty-year vision that Labor had under Gough Whitlam. This is a way to bring workers’ voices into the picture. The projects that I mentioned before didn’t spring from my mind. They were first raised by workers at mass meetings. I asked: “If your current job is going to end in ten years’ time, what kinds of jobs would you expect the union to create in the future?” We found that workers had already been thinking long and hard about this. Now is the time to listen to workers in regional communities. We have an opportunity to learn what workers expect, and to create the kind of bold, forty-year vision that Labor had under Gough Whitlam. What Labor needs right now is a lot of ambition — not just for themselves, but for working-class people in this country. DL One federal Labor MP, Joel Fitzgibbon, is a prominent representative of the Otis Group, a right-wing Labor faction that revealed itself last year. Fitzgibbon is often presented as the voice of the Hunter Valley, although you’ve suggested that many workers and residents in the Hunter Valley have a very different vision. How do you deal with conservatives like Joel Fitzgibbon in the ALP? SM We don’t pay too much attention to what Joel says. He’s been in parliament for twenty-five years and had ample opportunity to make his opinions heard. During that time, I’ve been in the Hunter Valley. I grew up in the Hunter Valley, I did my trade there and I worked as an organizer there for seven years. I know the communities and I know the workers — I spent months meeting with hundreds of them and talking about these problems. They were very clear. They know there’s a problem coming, and they don’t trust political parties or mining bosses to fix it. But they do trust their unions. So, we’re getting on with the job and bringing workers together to plan for the future. Denying there’s a problem denies workers the opportunity to have a say. We should be honest, and we should listen. If we do those two things, workers will tell us exactly what they expect us to do. Once you get workers talking about it, you get a plan. And once you have a plan, you can take action.

Last week the CVCE team returned from a very productive trip to Bocas Del Toro in Panama. We worked out of the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Bocas.The field work included a large array of different imaging systems including LUMIS2. The first few days were devoted to maintaining tags of over 250 corals. After completing the maintenance work, we set out to collect images from all tagged corals, setup new transects, and focus in on nearly 45 targeted corals with six different sample modalities including: White light RGB imaging Fluorescence and reflectance spectrometer data LUMIS and 5D fluorescence imaging PAM data Tissues samples Genetic samples All told it was a great trip with many successful imaging studies happening in parallel. A big thanks to the whole CVCE team!

This version of MAZOOPS provides high-resolution (~30 micron) optical images and high-frequency, broadband acoustic data from zooplankton. The system willl be used in concert with many other sampling modalities to study the animals in the water column of the Santa Barbara Basin.

Among other design changes, MAZOOPS 1 was updated from using two transmitting and receiving transducers and six receiving transducers to using four transmitting and receiving transducers. MAZOOPS 2 is a duplicate of MAZOOPS 1 after its updates. The main purpose of this cruise is to test the new design of the system and prepare it for the cruise in the Santa Barbara Basin in late September 2010 and the Gulf of Eilat early 2011. The cruise was a great success. We acquired lots of interesting data and videos of organisms from the surface of the ocean down to 500m below sea surface. Here are some action pictures of the deployment as well as a video of the dolphins we saw early morning: Share Facebook Twitter Pinterest StumbleUpon Previous Next 015 pldr Share Facebook Twitter Pinterest StumbleUpon 0 Discuss Close Full Description Keyboard Shortcuts Dismiss SSlideshow MMaximize Previous Next escClose Categories Uncategorized Tags help, LUMIS2, microscope, software, sparse signal processing Leave a comment MAZOOPS first deployment at sea July 11, 2016 September 14, 2009 by pldr We returned yesterday from the first deployment of the new MAZOOPS zooplankton sonar at sea. We were able to deploy the system several times per day, and collected nearly 100 GB of acoustic and image data from two different stations off the coast of San Diego. Deployments of the MAZOOPS were combined with MOCNESS tows and the two modalities generally showed good agreement. In total, the system was deployed eleven times during the four day cruise. Typically, the system was deployed running in autonomous mode during the day down to 250 meters, and running in tethered mode with real-time data during the night down to 100 meters. During the daytime, typical profiles showed that most of the acoustic scattering was down around 250 meters or deeper. These data were supported by images from the low-light-level camera on the MAZOOPS. Image data showed that copepods and euphaussiids were likely the most abundant animals, and these data were confirmed by the MOCNESS tows. On two occasions, while idling at 30 meters depth, the system encountered very high concentrations of euphausiids which were seen in acoustic data as a dramatic increase in the number of echoes and also the amplitude of these echoes. Image data showed a proportional increase in the number of animals imaged. These small scale features are unlikely to be seen in MOCNESS data (due to its averaging of animal concentrations over much larger scales than the MAZOOPS. One of the key features of MAZOOPS is the combination of acoustic and optical imaging sensors that image the same field of view, making the system truly multimodal. By combining these data together more information about the type of animal and its orientation are available to aid in understanding acoustic echoes. The multiview nature of the acoustic system can then be used in concert with optical imagery to obtain improved estimates of shape and/or taxa specific abundance. A big thanks to Jules, Fernando, Florian, Prasanna, Justin, Christian, Gabriel, Paul, the crew of the R/V Sproul, and all of the other team members who made this cruise possible.

To deal with the influx of information, while facilitating ecological insights, the design of these instruments increasingly must consider the data: storage standards, human annotation, and automated classification. In that context, we detail the design of the Scripps Plankton Camera (SPC) system, an in situ microscopic imaging system. Broadly speaking, the SPC consists of three units: (1) an underwater, free-space, dark-field imaging microscope; (2) a server-based management system for data storage and analysis; and (3) a web-based user interface for real-time data browsing and annotation. Combined, these components facilitate observations and insights into the diverse planktonic ecosystem. Here, we detail the basic design of the SPC and briefly present several preliminary, machine-learning-enabled studies illustrating its utility and efficacy.

We calculated the proportion of time zooplankters spent affected (e.g., being damaged, changing behavior) by accelerations or velocity gradients and found that a small increase in mean velocity can cause a much larger increase in time affected. Animal reaction threshold and reaction time also changed the fraction of time they were affected by the flow. Using different PIV spatial resolutions showed that inter-vector spacing should be ≤0.5 Kolmogorov length (smallest eddy scale) to accurately capture velocity gradients along trajectories, but coarser resolutions (≤2–6 × Kolmogorov length) are sufficient for velocities, accelerations, and zooplankton trajectories.

Alligators are among the largest wild pets in the U.S. If you live in the southeastern part of the country, opportunities are an excellent that you’ll overcome an alligator’s path sooner or later. American alligators can grow up to 15 feet in length and also 1,000 pounds in weight, so often they it seems to be ~ frightening at an initial (1).Fortunately, many encounters finish peacefully, however, you might wonder what to do if friend bump right into one of these creatures. And also anyway, how quick are they? carry out you have a chance to just run away?So, how quick can an alligator operation on land?An mean size alligator deserve to run as rapid as 11 mph on land. However, the rate of an alligator depends on many factors, such together the terrain, wait temperature, and also health status of the animal. Alligators don’t choose running, so they seldom chase their food on land, back they have the right to be very fast within very short distances. You are watching: How fast can an alligator run Let’s view the details:If you want to know how you can keep alligators the end of her property, make certain you also read our article on the finest methods here. How rapid Do Alligators run On Land? There are only two varieties of alligator living on the planet and also the American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) is the just one that deserve to be found in the U.S. Therefore the complying with statements use to every alligators that you have the right to potentially bump into in the nation (2).According come Livescience, alligators are qualified of running on land as quick as 11 mph (3). The specialists of the college of Florida case that alligators have the right to run on land at speeds of 7.5 come 9 mph (4). The vast bulk of dependable sources mention speeds up to 11 mph, so we have the right to assume the this is the maximum rate at i beg your pardon alligators have the right to move ~ above land.Of course, the maximum speed of one alligator relies on many different factors: the age and also health status of the animal, the waiting temperature, and the terrain. Reptiles, consisting of alligators, room cold-blooded animals, because of this their body temperature depends on the weather conditions. That’s why top top a cold day they deserve to be pretty sluggish.Also, you have the right to expect reduced speeds native younger and smaller alligators. Top top the various other hand, one extremely large alligator top top a warm day might run much faster than 11 mph on flat terrain.It’s great to know that alligators are not supposed to operation on dry land over much longer distances. They’re very good at swimming and speeding up within quick distances however they get tired very quickly ~ above land (within about a couple of hundred feet).Alligators chase their prey really rarely. They normally hunt in the water and also catch their prey in a solitary move. Running on soil is not their style, except when they desire to protect their colony or escape indigenous a threat.Never approach an alligator because it can be surprisingly fast within quick distances. If you’re just around 8-10 feet away from a large alligator, it deserve to easily record you prior to you can realize what’s going on. You simply won’t have time to react.Just have actually a look at the video below to have actually an idea of exactly how unpredictable and fast one alligator deserve to be within quick distances: Can friend Outrun one Alligator? This is a very common and reasonable question. Now that we’ve questioned how fast an alligator deserve to run, all we need to understand is how quick a human can run. Together you most likely guessed, it counts on numerous factors, consisting of age, gender, body size, and also physical condition.Based on data uploaded come the workout application Strava (more 보다 300 million runs!), the typical running speed for men is 9:15, and also for women, the 10:40 (5). That’s same to 6.49 mph and also 5.63 mph, respectively. However, this numbers use to lengthy term runs. And, together we know, it’s not very probable the an alligator would chase you because that miles since it gets tired method faster 보다 you.We obtain a much more reliable and an exact answer if we have actually a look at how humans perform in quick distances. While 27.8 mph (by Usain Bolt) is the preferably sprint speed that was measured for this reason far, an average human have the right to run at around 15 mph for quick distances (6). It is 36 percent much more than the maximum speed of an average alligator. While every situation is different, we have the right to assume the in most instances you have actually a pretty high possibility of outrunning one alligator. For this reason yes, the price is that an average human deserve to outrun an alligator. As I’ve currently mentioned, alligators rarely strike humans on soil if they’re far enough. However, if you technique their swarm or obtain too close, friend can obtain in trouble. Save in mind that within an extremely short ranges alligators deserve to move much much faster than humans. Her reaction time won’t save you if you obtain too close. Does to run In a Zig-Zag boost Your Chances? Running in a zig-zag come outwit an alligator is a item of advice that you can often hear. In fact, the opposite is true: to run in a zig-zag simply slows girlfriend down and also shortens the distance between the alligator and you. For this reason by doing the you just rise the possibility of gift caught.Let’s make it clear: if an alligator is chasing you, you should always run in a straight line as quick as friend can. This method you have a real possibility of outrunning it. Think me, this is the ideal tip you have the right to get. Alligator rate on land vs Water While on floor you have a yes, really high possibility of outrunning one alligator, in the water the odds are versus you. Alligators can swim in ~ a speed of 20 mph, for this reason they’re much much faster in the water than on the land (7).On the various other hand, the maximum rate that a human has ever before reached swimming is 5.12 mph (8). Of course, an average person swims method slower 보다 that. Therefore, while it’s true that you have the right to outrun one alligator, you can not outswim it, also if she the best swimmer on the planet. Putting It every Together If friend live in a location where alligators are usual (such as Florida or south Carolina), you have a quite high opportunity of encountering one. For this reason it’s great to recognize what to intend if that happens.Alligators commonly don’t chase their prey on dried land. So if girlfriend don’t strategy them (or your nest), chances are good that they won’t assault you. An median alligator deserve to run ~ above land in ~ a maximum rate of 11 mph. However, this speed applies to healthy animals and also short distances only.Alligators can’t keep that rate over longer distances due to the fact that they gain tired very quickly.An mean human can run at a maximum speed of 15 mph, thus most humans can quickly outrun alligators. The best means to execute that is to run in a right line as quick as you can. If you operation in a zig-zag, you just make it much easier for the alligator to catch you.Don’t get fooled through the numbers: alligators have the right to be much faster than 11 mph within an extremely short (a few feet) distances. Thus, never get too close come them because they can quickly surprise you.Photos: Wikimedia (Clément Bardot), Flickr (Dennis Church) jajalger2018.org is an independent website we developed to aid you do your house safer and also cozier.

The COCO sports bra pattern stole the show when we launched our collection. We wrote this tutorial to walk you through the construction steps of this quite unique pattern. You will be able to see what makes the COCO so great: its pieces/seaming, clean finish inside and out, and the option for removable cups. The pattern is available on our website, in both paper and digital/PDF formats (the PDF includes print-at-home, copy shop, and projector versions). You can also purchase it from your favorite reseller. PATTERN PIECES This tutorial shows how to make the X-back style (view A). The wide straps do not dig into the shoulder and stay in place when you move because they cross in the back. The racerback style that is also included in the pattern also has a clean finish inside and out. It provides more support / feels tighter since there is no opening in the back. The COCO bra is a real scrap buster! If you have remnants from sewing other activewear like leggings, now is the time to use them. The main (outer) fabric is athletic knit. For the straps, we are using the same fabric but went with swimwear lining fabric and power net for the lining pieces. Look for a fabric that has approximately 50% stretch (length and width) and good recovery. If your fabric has too much stretch, the bra will grow and won't be supportive. A - CENTER FRONT // Cut 1 on the fold, MAIN FABRIC B - SIDE // Cut 2, MAIN FABRIC (we used two different fabrics and made sure one would be the mirror of the other (cut with the paper facing down for the second piece)) C - STRAP - VIEW A // Cut 2, MAIN FABRIC + Cut 2, LINING (INNER FABRIC) (we used the same fabric, in a different colour for each pair. This will result in straps that have the same fabric inside and outside, different colours left and right) E - BAND // Cut 1 on the fold, MAIN FABRIC F - LINING CENTER FRONT // Cut 1 on the fold, LINING (Power Net) G - LINING SIDE // Cut 4 if you want to create a pocket for removable cups, Cut 2 if you don't. We are using swimwear lining but could have used Power Net for more support. H - LINING BACK // Cut 2, LINING OUTER FABRIC ASSEMBLY Pin side pieces to center front piece, right sides together, and stitch 6 mm (1/4'') from edge (the seam allowance for the garment): Pin straps (the fabric you want on the outside) to the center front piece, right sides together, and stitch. If you are using the same fabric inside and out, pay attention to the shape of the straps to avoid mixing them up: LINING ASSEMBLY Pin lining center front to lining side, right sides together and matching notches, and stitch: If you are making the version with only one layer of lining, you are ready to assemble the other side of the lining. We are making the version with a pocket so we are adding another layer of lining side. Pin it over the center front lining (to sandwich it), lining sides right sides together, and stitch. Repeat these steps for the other side and then bring the lining side layers wrong sides together: POCKET FOR REMOVABLE CUP This step is optional, it creates an opening for those who want to insert foam cups for extra support and modesty. Place your lining with the center front right side up. Measure approximately 5 cm (2'') from the notch up and draw a curve on the top lining layer. Cut the fabric and use the cut-out to mark the opening on the other side. Finish the edge with a zigzag or your serger: Baste sides with a zigzag. Then, pin the lining back over the opening, right sides together, and stitch: STRAPS, ARMHOLES, AND NECKLINE Pin right side of straps (inner fabric) to the lining (notice how the openings are facing up) and stitch: LINING: Bring seam allowances outwards. OUTER FABRIC: Bring seam allowances inwards. Press at low temperature if your fabric allows it. à basse température si le tissu le permet afin de maintenir les ressources de couture en position: Pin outer fabric to lining, right sides together (the "right side of the lining is the side where you see the openings and right side of the center front piece). Because you pressed the seam allowances earlier, they will be easy to align and bulk will be minimized. Stitch along neckline and armholes, stopping 4 cm (1 1/2'') before the ends, as shown in the photo on the right: Apply clear elastic to the seam allowance, without stretching and sewing with a zigzag. The clear elastic should be the same length as the fabric so the ends will remain unsewn for now, as shown below: FINISHING Turn right side out and cross the straps: Pin sides of the outer fabric together and stitch. Repeat for the other side. Then, pin facing with the inner fabric of the strap, right sides together, and stitch: Bring sides/armholes right sides together and sew the clear elastic onto the seam allowance (the portion of elastic that was not sewn previously): Bring lining and outer fabric wrong sides together, pin and baste bottom edge, matching centers: BAND Fold band right sides together and sew across the end, 1 cm (3/8'') from the edge. Press the seam allowance open: Butt ends of the elastic, place over a scrap of fabric and stitch with zigzag stitches to keep in place. Pin right side of elastic to the wrong side of the band (hiding the double notches) and baste with a zigzag along the bottom edge. Make sure the strap placement mark is visible on both sides: Turn band right side out. Insert the band into the bra, with the elastic towards the top. RIGHT SIDE of the band should be against the lining: Pin, matching the strap edges with the marks and baste with a zigzag. It is a good idea to move the elastic up to keep it away from the seam and avoid catching it by accident: Pull band and elastic out of the bra and fold the elastic towards the wrong side of the band. The fabric should be taut, but not stretched out. Fold again to hide the basting stitch with the edge of the folded band: Pin generously, making sure everything is nice and straight. Topstitch with a zigzag or cover stitch with the outer fabric facing up: Voilà! You are done! All you need to do now is insert foam cups through the openings and you can wear your COCO bra for your next workout! Buy the pattern Happy sewing!

No, I don’t think so. 7 ( +9 / -2 ) kyushubill Jan. 6 07:48 am JST Only if the woman chooses for it to. Why should sex be the determining factor? You can only fake it till you make it for so long. 1 ( +3 / -2 ) TokyoJoe Jan. 6 08:03 am JST They seem to be doing well overseas due to covid, one glance at onlyfans is enough to see that (not that I ever looked). -1 ( +1 / -2 ) Antiquesaving Jan. 6 09:03 am JST I wonder if any of those thinking it is somehow easy or better working from home and taking care of young children at the same time have ever tried it? As a single father of two young children at the time I can say it was far more difficult to work at home and have the children home then to have the children in daycare and either work from home or office (actually onsite at clients). It didn't matter how organised one is young children do not understand and will regularly interrupt your work reducing productivity and often messing with your train of thought. Oh yes it is far nicer and better if I could just work from home with the children in daycare or school l, closer to pick them up no commuting but in the home while working is not ideal. Imagine have children running around the office and how that would distract people trying to work. This is why before in many western countries larger companies had daycare facilities located in the same building as their office, workers could drop the children at the office daycare go to their desk go about their work pick the children up when they leave work. 1 ( +3 / -2 ) Antiquesaving Jan. 6 09:15 am JST Many Japanese firms had resisted home working in the past, and its intense work culture led to the phenomenon of karoshi..... From personal observation one of the real reasons so many Japanese companies resist is because those running them and the upper management are still living in the old fax, paper, pen, and hanko world. My wife's company has gone to telework for the most part and this exposed dozens of old guys that still had no idea how to use a simple Excel spreadsheet even less use the network ordering system or much else. They would still use paper fax etc... Then rely on one of the office ladies to later input the data into the system. Now many if these guys have been fired, quit, or demoted after telework started, they were given a grace period to learn the system and 21st century way but many refused having some strange idea they could fine a job without needing to learn how to properly use computers and network skills. Nearly all were replaced by women in many cases the women that were actually doing the work. -1 ( +3 / -4 ) Antiquesaving Jan. 6 09:28 am JST Why does an "anytime, anywhere' culture favor men? As a man nearly all my jobs and clients expected that if they called or something came up, that I would drop everything and tend to their needs. As a single father this was rarely possible and lead to losing jobs and clients. I suspect that seeing women are more often than not the primary care for children such drop everything sudden change of plans stay late at work would be just likey problems were. "Sorry boss but the daycare closes at 19:00 I have to pick the children up before then" Reply was quite often: "then don't bother coming to work tomorrow you are fired" Even had one boss fire me for leaving work when my son (6 years old at the time) was rushed by ambulance from school to the hospital and rushed into emergency surgery. She (yes she) said : "his teacher is with him so no need for you to leave early" So that may answer your question. 1 ( +3 / -2 ) SandyBeachHeaven Jan. 6 10:14 am JST The majority of women in Japan as soon as they get the ring on quit work. Hobbies, seeing friends, and going out to eat/travel are much more enjoyable. -1 ( +4 / -5 ) Antiquesaving Jan. 6 10:55 am JST @SandyBeachHeaven Perhaps in your neighbourhood. In my east end Tokyo neighbourhood where I have lived for 30 years most of my Japanese friends wives worked at least part time most of my children's classmates parents both worked because that is how the working class live. My ex-wife's family are in farming and other manual labour work most self employed in the countryside all the women work to support the business. Not all of Japan is Hiroo, Azabu, etc.. 2 ( +4 / -2 ) RickyC Jan. 6 11:18 am JST Working in a global company that considerably open for career advancements of womens and personally supporting equal, even preferable treatment to women in the corporate life. However, practically, telework experience with our japanese women staff didn't worked out well comparing to other countries, at the end, while there were promotions of womens to the managerial positions in countries like UAE, Turkey, Romania or even in South Africa in this unusual year, (all of them are conservative countries, has problems with the positioning of women within the society) we didn't have any promotion of women staff in Japan this year opposed to last years. Japanese women at home, was more concentrated on tasks and daily responsibilities, unreachable (no answer to the phones or mails in a timely manner), closed cameras and muted microphones on video conferences, escaping to take a role in any new initiative or project, less desire and ambition to adapt and make a difference in changing times and conditions, and finally considering telework experience as much more a holiday than a real work. The reason is maybe Japanese society in general, didn't take any remote job seriously without physical existence, or japanese women are under severe pressure whether by their husbands/kids or even by their parents in certain circumstances. However, in the end, it was not a good experience. 1 ( +2 / -1 ) Antiquesaving Jan. 6 12:06 pm JST @RickyC You pretty much nailed it. The problem is as simple as, if the woman is home husbands, parents even the city expect that this means they are available to take care of the children, cooking, cleaning, shopping, etc... even more than if they have to go to the office. As a single father getting my children into government daycare was somewhat easy at first because I had a regular job in a company, but once I lost that job and was working from home the city's idea was " well now you are working mostly from home do you really need daycare?" And even after finally convincing them that despite my work being in my home I still had to go out onsite to clients and they reluctantly let me continue with daycare they did not let me continue past the first pickup time. I don't know if all city's do this but ours had early and late and only those with full time company jobs could use late pick up which was at the latest 19:00 not a minute later. So yes I can see why Japanese women especially married with children or living with parents cannot get work done or be available in the same way as if in an office. 0 ( +1 / -1 ) marcelito Jan. 6 12:12 pm JST COVID-19 could be a tipping point in the push to retain more women in the workforce in Japan" Yeah, it 'could ' be but from experience we all know it won,t be. As soon as the Covid crisis is over it will be back to the old ways here. But about 80% of firms surveyed in Japan said they would continue flexible work after COVID-19 Typical tatemae lip service only ...while a few companies might continue it, majority of the big boy corporations will backtrack on 90 % of it asap..we saw it after the first SOE ended. 0 ( +1 / -1 ) Sven Asai Jan. 6 01:13 pm JST It’s not only a question of gender or bringing possible advantages for women. All people who like to work from home, or alone, or more silently, without having to go out and having stress with the daily commuting and so on, all those may now have a little more participation in ‘their’ era, too. But the effects won’t be so much changing or promising. Do you for example have instead at the office desk or home personal computer, from 9 to 5, most of your creative or scientific theoretical or researching ideas only at home, at night , on the toilet, or ever had? Well, no company will employ you with that capabilities anyway. They will continue to prefer lose-lose-situations by all means. -1 ( +0 / -1 ) ushosh123 Jan. 6 01:14 pm JST "Our surveys across Asian employers found that the 'anytime, anywhere' culture is one of the top reasons why women advance more slowly than men" so you want more flexibility or less? "In Japan, where men have been slow to play a more active role in child rearing and housework, the introduction of flexible working styles has created an environment in which men can do more to contribute," you know you can talk to you significant other to work things out... Who was taking care of the child before? It's not covid or teleworking that is forcing this, it's cultural norms which you yourself have control over. 0 ( +1 / -1 ) Antiquesaving Jan. 6 02:15 pm JST One of the biggest problems with working from home in Japan and much of Asia is space. I live in a house not an apartment, at the present time I have 2 young adult children that recently graduated from university both living at home and as is the case with many new employees here and elsewhere is they are paid low for the first few years, so getting an apartment and paying off student loans at the same time is not the best choice. So 4 adults all working from home now asy wife's company has permanently gone to telework, means a very cramped situation, living and working in bedrooms because few Japanese homes have space for a home office even fewer 2, 3 or 4. Those with young children will have to somehow find a place for a desk probably in their bedroom and somehow keep the children from disturbing them, if both parents work from home who get the bedroom who gets the kitchen table. I am a manual worker an artisan I repair broken things make a lot of noise with power tools, hammer, etc... I have to stop working everytime my wife or children are on zoom or conference calls. Unfortunately home office is not a practical thing for most families in Japan. I have Japanese male friends that are now doing it and at first they thought it was great but after 6 months they are tired, tired of working in the bedroom or kitchen table, tired of having to keep telling the children to leave, be quiet, etc...in some cases tired of trying to explain to their wives and parents just because they are home doesn't mean they can go out drive them to the store, etc... The women my wife works with are having similar problems due to space, children, husbands and parents. In North America my brother was able to create 2 home office's in in basement, my sister was able to do the same. And no the solution is not for people to move out into nowhere in the countryside that brings up needing to drive everywhere and drive the children everywhere which again interrupts the work day. In Tokyo I know few people that have a car and many that don't even have a drivers license, my friends form outside Tokyo in places like Ibaraki, etc... All have multiple cars a main car/van and at least one Kei car if not one each for those of driving age, not a good choice. Don't know the solution but there are the problems. -1 ( +0 / -1 ) smithinjapan Jan. 6 02:25 pm JST In SK, probably. In Japan, no way — they’ll find new ways to keep women down and stay near dead last out of 140 countries in gender equality. 2 ( +2 / -0 ) Lazarus Knows Jan. 6 03:04 pm JST Interesting, I hadn’t considered this. -1 ( +0 / -1 ) Osaka_Doug Jan. 6 03:04 pm JST As a man nearly all my jobs and clients expected that if they called or something came up, that I would drop everything and tend to their needs. That's the problem there. Clients have been trained to expect free work. Our company offers 24-hour telephone support and on-call emergency work as well but clients pay a premium for this service - we can hire two staff with the income with the premium service who work on-call from their homes at times. It really depends on the leadership strategy. 0 ( +1 / -1 ) Antiquesaving Jan. 6 03:20 pm JST @Osaka_Doug I was always properly compensated and much of my work then and now is not possible to do by phone or remotely. The point I was making is someone with children, (in my case a single father) they cannot just drop everything and head out or even do work remotely in many cases. With the fact in Japanese families women do most of the care for children and house even married women are in a position that does not let them just drop everything and focus on work at the drop of a hat. Many of my male friends now working from home are finding it difficult with children and wives also now working from home, small houses, noise, etc... Not to mention that some have been told because both parents are now working from home they no long qualify for city daycare service and cannot afford private daycare. So we have again bthe strange conflicting messages from the governments, one says more flex time, more telework, the other says well if you have flex time, work from home then we will remove services like daycare and after school care. 1 ( +1 / -0 ) Login to leave a comment Facebook users Use your Facebook account to login or register with JapanToday.

Dragon Page: Cover to Cover has been discussing ebooks at length lately, especially since Mike Stackpole is selling his stuff in the iTunes App Store. In the latest episode they spend the opening section lampooning the idea of e-book standards. The conversation that ensued contained a good deal of misinformation ((I honestly don’t believe this was intentional.)) . So I’m posting this in response here, hoping to keep the conversation going (I could post it as a comment on the site, but it’s a bit long for that, and it’s way to long to leave as a voicemail without sounding like even more of a crank). Stand Alone Readers in the iTunes Store The discussion gives an impression about the stand alone readers (specifically Stanza and eReader) having access to a bunch of old public domain content nobody actually wants to read. No mention is made of putting content you purchased outside iTunes or creative commons works into these readers, which seems to be their primary purpose. Stanza The Stanza iPod Touch/iPhone app is an offshoot of the Stanza desktop reader (Mac Only). Any file you can read on the desktop reader ((Stanza supports HTML, PDF, Microsoft Word, RTF, Amazon Kindle, Mobipocket, Microsoft LIT, Palm doc, and EPUB (at least the DRM free variations of the above))) can be transferred to the mobile Stanza app. This covers a lot of commercially available content. Also the mobile Stanza app is pre-configured to pull ePub files from Feedbooks. Feedbooks has 2500+ titles available for free. While many works are those you avoided reading in high school, it also includes titles from authors like Edgar Rice Burroughs, Lester Del Rey, Robert E. Howard, Fritz Leiber, H. P. Lovecraft, Andre Norton, H. Beam Piper, Robert Silverberg and E.E. “Doc” Smith. Those too old school for you? How about Steven Brust, Tobias Buckell, Cory Doctorow, James Patrick Kelly, and Charles Stross, to name a few. eReader Although it’s stated that the eReader can be used to download free content (I admit I don’t even know if can download free content), no mention is made that it is actually designed to download your purchases from eReader. Also, any multi-format purchase from Fictionwise is also supported. Since I personally avoid books that come locked in one format, the vast majority of my Fictionwise purchases are instantly downloadable to my iPod touch. That’s a big win for me, because it means when I’m home I can read on my dedicated e-book reader, with it’s larger screen, but when I’m stuck in the waiting room I can keep reading the same book off my iPod Touch without buying it twice. ePub and Tower of eBabel There is a group of […] e-book enthusiasts who are deaf on anything that is not the one true ring, the one true way. They want everything to be available in one universal format, which doesn’t happen to exist yet. […] and they want it to then be cross-platform available because they’re very resentful if seven years ago they bought a book for their palm pilot and now they can’t play it on their iPod. Yeah, those people. Me. Mike and Mike then then proceed to talk down to “those people” as if we all just fell off the esparanto truck by giving the same arguments all the digital music players that didn’t play MP3s used to give and why music would always have DRM. Making a buck will always trump the demands of the consumer. Format wars will always go on forever and ever and there will be no standard delivery mechanism ((Yeah, that’s why we don’t have a way to deliver audio programming in mp3 files over HTTP using RSS to any number of devices.)) . More importantly, the format does exist in the form of the International Digital Publishing Forum (IDPF)‘s ePub, and it does have vendor support. Adobe, Amazon ((Amazon supports ePub in it’s Mobipocket products, but there’s no mention of the Kindle yet)) , eBook Technologies, OSoft, VitalSource and LibreDigital (among others) all support ePub in their current products. Sony just added ePub support to it’s line of readers, and Bookeen is currently working on adding it to their Cybook readers. You can get any of Feedbooks 2500+ titles in .epub. Heck, even the last of the freebie releases from TOR was released in .epub rather than .mobi. Maybe I’m Crazy I like e-books. I prefer them to print. I like being able to increase the font to rest my eyes. I like being able to read them on multiple devices. I don’t want this to happen to my books. I feel that e-books have to be more convenient that print to really take off ((It’s very likely publishers don’t what them to take off. Record companies still want you to buy CDs too.)) . So either I’m a nut-job, or I’m who the people trying to sell these things should be targeting. I’m the one going to go out and extolling the virtues of these things to the people I know who are hanging by the sidelines waiting to see if they want to jump in. Feel free to tell me which one you think I am in the comments ((If I don’t get any I’ll know I’m a crazy person talking to myself.))

Yesterday saw the release of A List Apart #251 which is causing quite a bit of discussion. It focuses on a proposal put forth my Microsoft and some members of the Web Standards Project for a new meta tag than will control the rendering mode of IE8. The first article (Beyond DOCTYPE: Web Standards, Forward Compatibility, and IE8) covers the proposal, what it means and why it’s needed. The second (From Switches to Targets: A Standardista’s Journey) documents Eric Meyer’s shift in perspective from being opposed to, well, not opposed. My initial thought is that it’s a horrible idea. After reading more about it, and seeing the arguments in favor I think it’s a bad idea.

#application server #as #as 7 #devoxx #eap #enterprise application platform #jboss #lgpl #mark little #red hat #vote Paid EAP branch to be available for free, as JBoss attempts to satiate disgruntled community members. Red Hat division JBoss have made the binaries for their Enterprise Application Platform available to developers within the community. The decision, detailed by JBoss Director Mark Little, means that once JBoss begin to commercialise each major community edition of JBoss Application Server, they will now release all relevant EAP builds to developers for free. The latest release is now called JBoss EAP 6.0 Alpha 1, rather than AS 7.2, with the commercial product builds becoming a superset. The download processes and license for EAP will also change to make it easier for developers to test out. JBoss say that an Alpha release in EAP is equivalent, or better, than that of a community Final release. Following that, developers can get their hands on a EAP beta release, under a “zero-dollar developer subscription”. It’s a big shift in JBoss/Red Hat policy. Previously, there were separate builds for the enterprise and community versions of the application server. With EAP taking precedence over the other in terms of support, those using AS 7 felt short changed by the restrictive model, as they were unable to access to the product builds and provide feedback to the development team immediately. “The net result is that everyone gets to experience the product whether or not they buy a full subscription with support,” explains Little, adding that it is “a great step in the evolution of JBoss/Red Hat.” The JBoss FAQ page says that there are no restrictions on how developers can use the binary released under a LGPL license, but strongly advise not using it in production without a contract with JBoss. Last year, JBoss held a vote to rename JBoss AS, with the shortlist announced at Devoxx in November. The winner, as chosen by the public, is due “early in 2013”. The change in direction from JBoss should be applauded and it is a good first step in bringing the two communities on a par in terms of support, and hopefully bring back those in the JBoss community left out in the cold by the old structure.

We ended up visiting Atlanta for my sister’s wedding and to celebrate my daughter’s 3rd birthday. One of the top things on my list for the kids to experience was the Georgia Aquarium. The Aquarium was always one of my favorite places to visit when I was a kid and being able to bring my kids was pretty cool, not gonna lie! There were definitely some kinks in the trip though, due to it being during a worldwide pandemic going on. Here was our experience! Tickets, Parking, And Entering The tickets were full priced, even though some parts of the museum were closed, which was kind of annoying, but I get it! Be prepared to spend $32.95 per person over the age of 3. Lucky me, my daughter turned 3 the day before we went lol! Also, to limit the amount of people in the aquarium there are a limited amount of tickets, and you must make an appointment basically to come. Honestly, I didn’t hate it, because it was super easy to have the kids see the exhibits with it not being a million people there as usual. On the actual ticket, it said the only entrance open was the Education Entrance. After waiting there for a minute or two, thankfully someone told us that this entrance wasn’t open and we had to use the main entrance. There was a pretty decent crowd trying to get in, and they did a pretty good job at social distancing, but we definitely weren’t all 6 ft away from each other, which was pretty much the story through out the aquarium. Inside The Aquarium What Was Open: River Scout Exhibit Cold Water Quest Exhibit Ocean Voyager Exhibit Tropical Diver Exhibit Aquanaut Adventure Exhibit Bathrooms Food Court (seating was relocated to a larger area to allow for social distancing) Gift Shop Swimming With Whale Sharks What Was Closed: Pier 225: Sea Lion Show 4D Funbelievable Theatre Dolphin Celebration Touch Tanks Like I said, because they are limiting the amount of people in the aquarium, it was so easy to get my kids up close and personal to see the exhibits! My oldest was literally in awe the entire time! I loved seeing her face light up when she saw all the fish swimming in front of her. Fair warning though, the big wall in Ocean Voyager, may be a little scary for first timers, because from up close, it really feels like you’re in the ocean! It took my daughter a few minutes to warm up to it. Was It Worth It? Absolutely! My daughter had a blast, and with less crowds I felt like it was pretty safe. The aquarium is requiring masks starting July 1st for all visitors over 3, so there’s even another level of protection when social distancing gets a little dicey! If you’ve always wanted to make a trip then now is the time. Let me know in the comments if you visit and how you liked it!

Reply Kari Roberts says: July 1, 2020 at 2:51 pm My husband has been here before (on a bachelor trip to ATL) and loved it LOL We went to our local one and my son loved it (at 9 months), this was before COVID though. We recently went to the zoo. Reply Jazmin Maybell says: July 4, 2020 at 11:43 pm Yeah, it’s really amazing! I want to go to the zoo soon too, but wearing a mask in 90 degree weather seems a bit overwhelming lol Reply Danielle Boyd says: July 1, 2020 at 7:21 pm Love the Georgia Aquarium.

Reply Jazmin Maybell says: July 4, 2020 at 11:44 pm Same last time I went! It was pretty miserable! Reply Cocoa Mom says: July 2, 2020 at 8:14 am I am always amazed at how much the tickets to the aquarium have gone up. It’s price and I think it’s with at least one visit. Glad your kids for to take advantage of seeing everything without the crowd. I am originally from Atlanta so I would go all the time when tickets were not as expensive. Reply Jazmin Maybell says: July 4, 2020 at 11:45 pm Same here! It’s honestly ridiculous! It should at least be discounted for the little ones, or in times like these when attractions are closed.

West JazzTimes may earn a small commission if you buy something using one of the retail links in our articles. JazzTimes does not accept money for any editorial recommendations. Read more about our policy here. Thanks for supporting JazzTimes. There’s a tendency on drummer-led albums for the listener’s ear to focus on the drums no matter what they’re doing. E.J. Strickland turns that tendency into inevitability on his second album, The Undying Spirit. It opens with an unaccompanied virtuoso solo that continues past the minute mark, just one of two drum solos on the first tune (“Ride”). There are further drum solos (on nearly every track), but even Strickland’s comps are too complex and intriguing to turn away from. Throw in his 10 sumptuous compositions and the incisive work of his quintet (tenor saxophonist/twin brother Marcus Strickland, alto saxophonist Jaleel Shaw, pianist Luis Perdomo, bassist Linda Oh) and The Undying Spirit‘s pleasures multiply. “For My Home Folks” has a slow, nostalgic melody; Shaw and Marcus Strickland play it sweet and light, but come his solo, Marcus’ tone coarsens, his pacing turns staccato. Instead of blunting the sentiment, though, his rawness sharpens it, makes it more direct and natural, a trick Shaw emulates in his bluesy contribution. (The alto saxophonist has a bravura turn of his own on “A Dance for Mojo’s Return.”) Oh similarly hits home with a guitar-like improvisation on the hope-fueled “Ballad for All Mankind.” Perdomo also solos, with curvaceous single-note lines, but his best efforts come on written parts like the foreboding ostinato of “Hindsight.” Start Your Free Trial to Continue Reading Start my Free Trial Become a JazzTimes member to explore our complete archive of interviews, profiles, columns, and reviews written by music's best journalists and critics.

I used to have an interest in the music industry. I think I actually believed that I could potentially, eventually get a job in that mucky muck. With the passing of such ideas, I still have a vague interest in the music industry. Mostly I’m appalled at the way businesses have failed to adapt to the advent of the Internet (suing your customer base for fun and profit) and simultaneously I’m curious to see how things will shake out once the sinking ships finally go down. There has recently been an exchange in the media whose honesty is one of the more accurate reflections of the current situation of making money off of music. It all started with a blog post by Emily White, an NPR intern, titled “I never owned any CDs to begin with” in which the author brags about the amount of music she has acquired illegally, rationalizing her acquisitions by way of the venerable “artists don’t get any of the money from record sales” argument. Emily’s blog moved a lot of people to write about it, including almost 1000 comments, a commentary from an NPR staff member, a post from a talent agency co-founder and most importantly for my little narrative, a reaction from David Lowery, the singer from Camper Van Beethoven and Cracker who now teaches music business courses at the University of Georgia. Lowery depicts the current music industry situation by tracking the flow of end user money; when users download illegally, their money goes to internet providers and manufacturers of computers and phones _instead of_ musicians. While I can see his point, it’s not waterproof, as downloading legally still requires that you buy a laptop and internet service. Regardless, his ultimate point stands – musicians don’t get any money. This is backed up by the fact that most musicians do not, as many lay people suspect, make all their money from touring. He goes further to insinuate that music stealing makes depressed musicians commit suicide; kind of a low blow. The next step in this conversation of comments comes from Mike Doughty, who in a blog post agrees with Lowery’s description of the situation and takes it a step further in the form of the equation: less money to record labels = less tour support for bands = fewer bands Doughty drives this home by positing that a band like Radiohead wouldn’t have survived if they had to deal with this new industry economy. It’s a depressing picture. Not just because of Radiohead, but because there will be fewer creative bands. I agree with many of his points, but I can’t help but think that his equation is only good at predicting the short term. We’ve already been seeing the fallout of diminished recording industry revenues. What it amounts to is the big labels not gambling as much on quirky acts, and instead banking on the sure bets. This manifests in an abundance of over-produced, good looking pop singers and little else. I feel like this is what Doughty is describing. We’re already there.. My feeling is though that this strategy wont sustain the music industry, or if it does, it’s neglect of all the other non-cookie cutter music will spawn new avenues for bands that don’t fit the mold. Sure, these bands wont be able to tour the way that they have in the past, but does that mean they can’t be successful? I feel like new avenues for music discovery will develop as people who like music other than whats on the radio grow discontent with the Katy Perry’s and Maroon 5’s of the world. What will these new distribution avenues and taste makers be? I have no idea. That’s for someone else to think up. I think there is plenty of room for it though. Technology has not only given people the power to steal music, but it’s also given people the power to create web streaming and pirate broadcast stations with little financial cost. The web has given us a huge network of self guided discovery, and interactive discovery. You can’t shortchange that. At an even more basic level, will the death of the “getting signed” dream keep people from making music? Yeah, right. Less people will be able to make a living playing music, but is that necessarily a bad thing? Music is a big part of the human experience. I wouldn’t mind seeing it de-commercialized a bit. It doesn’t cost as much now to “be a musician” as it used to. You can buy instruments at Walmart. You can record your music on your laptop at home and distribute it on the internet. Yeah, you wont get Radiohead level famous doing this, but why do you need to be. If the “get rich” factor is removed from the equation, I can’t help but think that cooler, more interesting music would surface. Note: I’m not deriding any of the authors mentioned above, or trying to say that they are wrong. We’re all just trying to see the road map of the future of music.

Gir made it to 17, but like me, she’s been dealing with kidney stones, probably for quite a while. She’s been a champ about it, but I think it just got to be too much, and her quality of life had been rapidly degrading. She left us this morning, and won’t have to suffer with it any more. Gir has been with me longer and through more moves than any other pet or person. She was small but had a big personality. She was the boss of the cats, and forced them to cuddle with her. Sometimes she was very ragey, sometimes loving. A pro chaperone cat. Always a good friend. Her “meatcat” alter ego came out one last time last night when I let her eat bbq ribs. She loved it. It was tough to choose just 10 pictures of her, but these are the ones I chose. Now that her energy is back out there in the universe, I look forward to running into some of it again some day. UFOs. Big ol slugs Reminds me of the defaced “you will die” bumper sticker that was on the case of a Les Paul studio I bought from Damon after the headstock broke off. My favorite zorak. It’s interesting to me how much a variant like this stands out in the world of tags that are so similar from one to the next.

Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel famously said that when he marched with Martin Luther King at Selma he felt his legs were praying. He understood his faith as an imperative to be a force for good in the world. Similarly, Trevor talks about his own journey and the importance of social activism as an expression of Jewish identity. Sir Trevor Pears CMG is a philanthropist and committed social activist who has dedicated substantial support to UK and Israeli social and civil society as Executive Chair of the Pears Foundation, the family’s charitable trust established in 1992 by Sir Trevor and his brothers, Mark and David. In setting up the Foundation, their purpose was to apply some of the resources of their family’s property company, the William Pears Group, to fund organisations and projects working to deliver progress on key issues affecting the wellbeing of people in the UK and all over the world. Pears Foundation is now one of the largest family foundations in the UK with a broad focus that ranges from youth social action in the UK, to Holocaust education and special educational needs. Amongst the many philanthropic areas where Sir Trevor has focused his energy, he is a passionate advocate of international development and has been instrumental in building Israel’s capacity to make a contribution in this field. In addition to the Pears Scholarships at Hebrew University, the foundation established the Israeli chapter of the Society for International Development, the Pears Program for International Development and OLAM, a collaborative venture to promote global Jewish service and international development. Sir Trevor Pears was also the initiator of JDOV itself. 25 years ago, I was at a Hebrew University dinner. The guest speaker was Vidal Sassoon. During his speech, he remarked, that ‘the problem with the Jews is that they allow themselves to be defined by others’. That observation resonated with me, but I couldn’t express why. I took his statement as a personal challenge. I have always been interested in identity, and how it’s formed. I also felt that identity was not a passive thing, just given to you at birth. But that for identity to have meaning it had to be lived. So it wasn’t enough for me to simply say that I am Jewish. I wanted to be able to express what it meant to be Jewish. 2,000 years ago, Rabbi Hillel authored the famous identity axiom: – If I am not myself, who will be for me? – If I am only for myself, what am I? – If not now, when? Clearly, searching for identity and meaning isn’t something new. Hillel’s axiom helped me to understand that sometimes it isn’t about finding the right answers, but the right questions. Over the years, I have asked a lot of identity questions to a multiple of rabbis and Lay Leaders from across the Jewish world. I would ask: ‘Why be Jewish’? Often, rather than deep engagement with this question, I would be asked a question in return (which is pretty Jewish!):…‘What do you mean, Why be Jewish? I was born a Jew. Or simply, I am Jewish. So I would phrase the question slightly differently and ask what they felt the purpose of being Jewish was? From Rabbis, I found the most popular answer to Jewish purpose was to keep Halacha, the laws. Having heard this answer on several occasions, I developed a supplemental question: ‘Is the purpose of being Jewish to keep Halacha, or do we keep Halacha for a purpose?’ Only the latter made sense to me. From Lay Leaders, the most popular answer I got regarding Jewish purpose was a somewhat ironic one: ‘To ensure that we don’t give Hitler a posthumous victory’. I could hear the echo of Vidal Sassoon’s warning …… not to be defined by others…….let alone by your enemies! I would argue that defining oneself by referencing Hitler meant that this was precisely what you were doing. Such a negative self-definition made absolutely no sense to me. As I said, I feel that identity has to be lived. And of course life isn’t static. So I see being Jewish as a journey rather than a destination, and that you are what you do. Or to misquote Forrest Gump: Jewish is, as Jewish does! Over the past 20 years, I have explored a lot of Jewish text, and again found that all of this is not new thinking (apart, perhaps, from the Forrest Gump reference!). Going back again 2,000 years, to the Ethics of The Fathers, Rabbi Chanina Ben Dosa said that if a person’s good deeds exceeded their wisdom, their wisdom will endure. But if their wisdom exceeded their good deeds, their wisdom would not endure. And a somewhat more up to date Jewish exemplar of this would be Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel. Rabbi Heschel marched with Martin Luther King and the Civil Rights movement and was at Selma in 1965. When asked why he marched with and for this movement, his answer was a simple one: ‘I felt that I was praying with my feet!’ Rabbi Heschel’s wisdom, like Chanina Ben Dosa’s, has endured. So, like many others before me, I believe that we are a people who are at our best when we are praying with our feet. But if doers is who we are, what exactly should we be doing? Rabbi Akiva’s answer was to love the neighbour. Now there is a doing challenge for us all! Isaiah’s answer was to be a Light unto the Nations. Now I’ve been told that ‘exciting’ is not a word that comes up frequently when describing being Jewish! But how can it not be exciting to be a part of a people with such a calling and mission? Now on my journey I have become acutely aware of how much debate and division surrounds definitions of Jewish identity. And how phrases like, for example, Particular and Universal can sometimes be used in unhelpful ways. And I know that, for some, I am very quickly compartmentalised as a ‘Universal Jew’. And this makes me smile, as I feel that if anything, I spend far too much time focussed on the particular! This Particular/Universal Jewish descriptor, or dilemma, comes up pretty often in my world, usually in the form of being asked: “So tell me Trevor, what percentage of your family foundation’s expenditure goes to Jewish causes?” My answer is always a very candid one……. “Every penny!” I usually get a quizzical look followed by a supplemental question: “You’re supporting projects all over the UK, and in places like Nepal, Ghana and Rwanda?” My reply is “Yes, these are all Jewish Causes!” And I don’t consider this to be deliberate word-play, nor an expression of my ‘Universal’ Jewish credentials or leanings. I consider this definition of Jewish Causes to be about as Particular as you can get. And I hope very much that if Rabbi Akiva were here today that he would nod in agreement! So much Jewish text and thinking simply screams at us that this ‘Loving the neighbour, welcoming the stranger, pursuing Justice, helping the most vulnerable’ is fundamental Jewish purpose. However, I would argue that not only does much of the world not fully know or appreciate this, but that there seem to be many Jews who are unaware, or have forgotten our deeply rooted heritage and commitment to social Justice and action. Borrowing Rabbi Heschel’s words, I also feel that I have been praying with my feet. And my feet have taken me on quite a journey, and brought me into contact with many inspirational people. In the field of international development, I have been fortunate to meet a lot of committed people, professionals whose abilities are only matched by their personal dedication to truly making a positive difference to millions of others’ lives. In my interaction with them I don’t hide my Jewish identity, because it is central to who I am. And my experience has been that often, not the first time, not the second time, but perhaps the third or fourth time that I meet a number of these people, they take me to one side and whisper “Oh, by the way Trevor, I’m Jewish too!” Now it’s always inspiring to me to meet someone who is Jewish and doing such fantastic work, however I feel it is a terrible shame that they seem to be doing this work despite, not because they are Jews. How fantastic would it be if their answer to why they were so stuck in, so involved, was because they were Jewish, and this is what Jews do! And what about Israel? Israel’s commitment and efforts to helping repair the world are also often forgotten. But this amnesia is not shared by all. Some 15 years ago, I visited a hospital in Kumasi, the second largest city of Ghana. On arrival, a tall Ghanian Doctor, white coat blowing in the wind, came out to greet us. He grinned, opened up his arms and bellows, ‘Boker Tov’! It transpired that the hospital’s Accident and Emergency unit, had received equipment and staff training from MASHAV, and MASHAV is the International Development and Co-operation division of the Foreign Ministry of Israel. In her autobiography, Golda Meir singled out the work that Israel did in Africa in the 1950s and onwards as the work she was most proud of when she was serving as Foreign Minister of Israel. Yet when I met Haim Divan, MASHAV’s then serving Director some 10 years ago, he described his organisation as “in a country that can’t keep a secret, MASHAV is Israel’s best kept secret.” It seems that very few Israelis have heard of MASHAV, let alone have any memory of Israel’s impressive history of development efforts in Africa. But the Ghanaian doctor and his team in Kumasi, remember, and remember with pride. I’m truly delighted to say that in recent years there has been a marked positive change, in Jewish awareness, activity ….. and pride in such efforts. The number and scale of new organisations and initiatives with broad social responsibility at their heart have greatly increased. In the UK, for example, the organisation Tzedek has grown substantially, and the Chief Rabbi has launched his ground-breaking Ben Azzai Programme, with study trips to Mumbai and Ghana. And I believe that JHub, and its wonderful residents and team deserve a mention here too! Internationally, there are also many examples, from American Jewish World Service, to Sundara, to the Agahozo Shalom Youth Village in Rwanda. And in Israel, it is perhaps even more exciting: so many new and growing Israeli NGO’s. The Gabriel Project working in Mumbai, Tevel B’tzedek in Nepal, NALA in Ethiopia, Innovation Africa, IsraAid and literally dozens of others. The Israeli Society for International Development now has over 80 organisational members. All of these are in addition to the very long established programmes, such as the continuing work of MASHAV, and the Hebrew University’s brilliant Masters courses in Medicine, agriculture and community development. Today there are thousands of Hebrew University alumni assisting millions of their Countrymen and women around the developing world. Israelis are also starting to lead the way in innovation and technology for developing nations, rather than developed ones. Grand Challenges Israel, the India-Israel innovation bridge, and the plethora of start-ups like Kahealer, Soapy and Living Box. All of theses activities stay true to Maimonides highest level of giving: working with and helping others towards self-sufficiency. In other words: rather than giving a hand out, giving a hand up. And Israel could soon be known, not only as the Start-Up Nation, but also the Hand-Up Nation. I hope that I, and our family foundation have helped contribute towards these changes. So, 25 years on, do I feel that I have personally risen to Vidal Sasson’s challenge? Am I defining myself? I hope so. Am I living it? Praying with my feet? Again I hope so. For me, being Jewish is a call to action to make the world a better place. And I believe this is our collective calling, and always has been. Thank you.

Bidding is not allowed. Item was in Auction "Fall 2021", which ran from 11/4/2021 11:00 AM to 11/21/2021 1:35 AM Lot Description Made famous by Walter Travis when he won the British Amateur in 1904, the Schenectady putter was patented by Arthur Knight of Schenectady, New York, in 1903. The R&A banned the club in 1910, but the USGA did not. The R&A's ban lasted over 40 years before it was reversed. Read about the great uproar around this club during the early 1900s in The Clubmakers Art Vol 1: 225-228. Crown of head is stamped "W. E. Reid", believed to be the English professional and golf course designer Wilfred E Reid. Reid had three top 10 finished in major championship tournaments. The initials "TRH" on the sole are believed to be those of the second owner. The patent date of Mar 24, 1903 is also stamped on the back. The original shaft measures 32 3/4". The grip appears original but with whipping repair to the top. The head has been repaired, and professionally at that! The hosel is a separate piece that appears to be brazed to the head. A large set screw in the back of the hosel helps hold the shaft in place. The workmanship here is beautiful, exceptionally well done. Somebody a long time ago really wanted this head to live on.

The sun high above shone on me as I looked down the flowing river below the cliff, at which I used the neutral magic ‘Search’. “There’s a lot especially on the riverbeds… It’s easier to count them during this time as they move slower than in the morning.” [Ryouma] I wrote down the information I got on a piece of paper padded underneath by a stone plank. This is a journal I started to record my findings on the goosefish-like fish. I perform my investigation twice every morning, noon, and evening, which totals to six times. I’m studying their habitat, their mode of life, and the time of day they’re most active. From my investigation, I’ve found them to be most active early in the morning when it’s still dark, so I figure they must be nocturnal. I should put more effort in studying them during early morning and evening. I wrote down my thoughts and estimations on the corner of the paper, then I put away my writing tools in my Item Box. I then took out a rope woven out of the sticky slime’s thread and a large fishing hook I’d hurriedly made with Alchemy. I hung a piece of smoked meat on the hook along with some weight, then I let it down the cliff into the river, tying the other side of the rope around a stake created from the earth through earth magic. It’s a setup meant to catch more of those fishes. I tried it earlier this morning, but the fishes just bit through the rope. This time I’m using a rope made out of the sticky slime’s thread, so they shouldn’t be able to bite through it as easily. After ensuring everything was working, I walked back to camp. When I turned around, I saw a giant slime swallowing hordes of undead that systematically walked toward it to be eaten. Meanwhile, my rimel birds were peacefully sunbathing. The giant slime was of course my grave slime in emperor form. The emperor slimes have already been made public in the tournament, so I don’t mind brazenly using it like this, where it’s swallowing undead after undead while in its biggest form. Being over 10 meters in diameter, it looks just like a hill. The emperor grave slime looks really happy but I’m actually doing this to find the missing people. Sure looks like horror though; all those undead being swallowed one after another with only an arm or a skeleton’s head poking out of the slime’s mouth from time to time. Speaking of which, the undead won’t attack me since I’m inside a holy space. Although with the emperor grave slime using its skill to lure them, they won’t attack me even if I stepped out. Still… “…You’re doing this again?” [Ryouma] I looked toward another group of undead. From an otherworlder’s perspective, the movements of those undead couldn’t be anything else but that famous dance from my previous life. Actually, it’s just one part of the dance… In any case, it’s not like they’re dancing on their own volition, it’s the grave slime that’s making them do it. It’s been doing this ever since it learned ‘Ghost Rule’ after becoming a king slime. Under ‘Ghost Rule’ the undead move slower and clumsier, so it can’t be used to make the undead fight other enemies. It’s mainly a skill to keep undead from running away when they somehow manage to resist the effects of ‘Attract Ghosts’. I thought the skill might improve after some training, so I had the grave slimes practice the skill by making the undead move like that dance from that promotional video I once saw. But even after the slimes managed to control 20 undead, the movements of the undead never improved. For reasons unknown, the grave slimes would sometimes make the undead dance like that on its own. If they like it that much, I’d like to teach them the whole dance, but unfortunately, I’m not that familiar with dancing, and I don’t remember the whole dance to begin with. Because of that the undead just keeps dancing the same part over and over. I went back to the shed at the camp, and brought out a chair with me. I sat by the holy space outside, then I ordered the slime to stop gathering undead and show me the undead it’s gathered one by one. “Let’s start!” [Ryouma] With the list of the missing people on one hand, I started searching. “Fuu…” After quietly working some time, I breathed out a sigh and stretched my body, then a voice came from the direction where the emperor grave slime had started gathering zombies again. “Ryouma-chan, we’re home!” [Remiri] Remiri-neesan is home already? It was then that I noticed that the sun had already started to set. Looks like I worked longer than I thought. “Welcome home, Remiri-nee… huh? Where are Elia and the others?” I had the slime move out of the way, so I could better see them, but the girls were nowhere to be seen. It doesn’t seem like they ran into any sort of trouble. Did they go somewhere? The four adults began explaining. “The young ladies are still training.” [Sebasu] “I thought it was about time to stop for the day, but they still wanted to train some more.” [Shiva] “They said they won’t go far away, and if anything were to come up, they would just throw a fire bomb up to the sky, so there shouldn’t be any problems.” [Rheinbach] “They’ll be fine with their current strength.” [Remiri] They have been making great progress lately. When we first met, they were about as strong as a newly promoted D Rank party. And now, they’re only a step behind a C Rank. Their progress really rocketed after Shiva-san and Remiri-neesan started teaching them. Shiva-san and Remiri-neesan mentioned that my training menu was like fertilizer for the girls. And because they were hardworking and talented from the start, it was really easy to teach them. So it’s not strange to see how they were able to make such great progress. Even if they do get surrounded, they can just blow them away with their magic. In the worst case, they can just run away. “True, they have gotten strong enough to walk near the camp unaided.” [Ryouma] “So what are you calling your rimel birds for then?” [Remiri] Just to be safe I called the Rimer birds over. Remiri-neesan’s sharp eyes didn’t miss that, and she laughed. She asked me why, but it seemed to be rhetorical as she just went ahead and teased me without hearing my reply, saying, “Ryouma-chan likes to spoil them, huh.” “That aside, did something happen? You seem a bit down.” [Remiri] “Nothing in particular. It’s just that I’ve been looking for the missing people for a while now.” [Ryouma] “I see… And? Did you find one?” [Remiri] “Just two.” [Ryouma] But that was from dozens of undead… Looking for them is a chore, and yet even if we do find one, all we get is a corpse. It’s pretty disheartening. Remiri-neesan and the other adults looked worried about me, so I put a stop to the search today. When the three Rimel birds arrived, I used Sensory Link with one of them to look for Elia’s group. They were right next to us just as Rheinbach-sama mentioned, so I found them almost immediately. I continued to watch over Elia’s group with the Rimel bird I’d linked with, while the other two birds patrolled the surroundings. The girls were surround with twelve of the undead. But there was a narrow path in between two cliffs which they entered, severely reducing the number they had to face at a time. A good move. With this they’ve also secured a path of escape. There was a ghoul among the undead but Riera managed to defeat it while protecting the others. After finishing off the rest of the undead, they left. As I continued watching them, I saw them use a magic I hadn’t seen before. “ ‘Spike Carpet’ “ [Michelle] Was that an earth version of the fire magic ‘Flame Carpet’? I’ve never heard of it, but countless barbs with small sharp stones sticking out of them came out of the ground, hurting the legs of the rushing undead. Those barbs were like caltrops, but they seemed to latch on for when the zombies and the ghouls stepped on them, their movements went wonky, and they came tumbling down. The spell didn’t seem effective against the skeletons, but with a gap between the undead made, the girls could now fight a smaller clump. Elia then casted a ‘Firestorm’ just as she did whenever they would find themselves surrounded. Only, this firestorm was different. Her usual firestorm was literally a cyclone of fire that consumed her foes, yet this firestorm was summoned around the entire group, turning into ash all of the undead that surrounded them. Where and when did she learn something like that? “Elia and Michelle both used a magic I’d never seen before. Did you teach them? That firestorm wall and that bed of nails?” [Ryouma] “That’s something they came up with themselves after plenty of trial and error.” [Rheinbach] “Elia-chan improved a lot at controlling her magic power, so she tried to come up with other ways to use it. As for Michelle, she figured she could create her own magic too after watching you.” [Remiri] Rheinbach-sama and Remiri-neesan said that as they happily drank their tea. So they came up with that themselves… Somewhere when I wasn’t watching, they suddenly grew up all on their own. As the girls continued to practice, I quietly watched over them through the rimel bird. But then a murder of Harris crows suddenly attacked the rimel bird. When the murder of Harrris crows attacked, the Rimel bird used a wind spell to scare them away. It was the wind spell, ‘Sound Boom’. A spell I’d taught it,. The booming sound scared the Harris crows away, but the sound also reached the girls, and they decided to stop for the day. They must’ve thought something strange was going on. It’s a place where people frequently went missing after all, and they’ve never seen me use Sound Boom either, so it’s no wonder they decided to go back. I feel bad for scaring them. I waited outside for the group to come back. When I saw the five girls trotting back, I waved at them, to which they waved back with a sword in hand, a staff, or just their hands. After they confirmed there were no undead nearby, they ran back to our camp. “Welcome home.” [Ryouma] I welcomed the girls back when they arrived, but they immediately started talking about a booming sound they’d heard. When I told them what that sound actually was, they all promptly lost strength in their legs. They didn’t feel like going back to train again after that, and they just went and rested while they tended to their equipment.

I wasn’t expecting to become the subject of a fierce dispute when I sat down to read on a rug in the wild garden this afternoon, but that’s what promptly happened. Perhaps it was my animal magnetism, or maybe they just couldn’t resist the Avon (Special Forces approved) insect repelling body spray with which I’d liberally doused myself to discourage other, more toothy flies from taking chunks out of me… but either way, I had two male Helophilus pendulus bouncing off each other for the next half hour in their determination to claim me. I’ve kept back the shot in which one of them showed off his genitalia – I don’t think any of us need to see that – but aside from that slightly distasteful moment, I confess to having found all the attention quite amusing. It certainly provided me with a good photo opportunity: whenever I got a little too close to him with the end of the lens hood he would take off, but he always came back down within a few seconds, to make sure he held on to his territory. What the neighbours must have thought about me sitting there photographing my own feet, I can only imagine – but I suspect they think I’m odd anyway, so this was probably just confirmation. Back in the day, having a little flying familiar like this might have got me into quite a lot of trouble, but these days you can be an old crone with crazy hair who talks to insects with no worse consequences than people giving you a wide berth – and to be honest, in these trying times, that suits me absolutely fine.

Apologies for the fact that I just gave most of you over a certain age an ear worm – I’ll try to replace it with something else at the end of this blip. So, the builders have finished – yay! We all considered ourselves fortunate to reach the end of our association without ugly incident though – and no, that was nothing to do with my temper. One of the things they were asked to do was to cut a new loft hatch in the ceiling of Child Two’s bedroom, so that the previously completely inaccessible roof space above it could be insulated. Which they did, only to discover another vast wasp nest up there. Had it been an active one we could all have been in trouble when they sawed a hole in the ceiling, but fortunately it was abandoned. Mark, the chap tasked with removing it, has a bit of a thing about wasps, having once inadvertently cut into a wasp nest with an electric hedge trimmer – but when he showed it to me even he admitted that it was a rather beautiful construction. They left at lunch time, which was earlier than they’d expected to be finishing, and I thought I might celebrate my freedom with a little road trip. There’s an old viaduct down towards Cheltenham that I want to photograph, and I got as far as getting out the relevant OS map to look for rights of way in the area – then glanced out of the window and realised that it was raining. And then I remembered that Child Two is gracing the Shire with his presence tonight – he’s driving up from Bristol after doing a People Poems gig there, and probably won’t arrive till the early hours, but I decided that instead of gadding about I should use the afternoon to clean his room and put back all the stuff that was stashed elsewhere while the builders were working. So I nipped outside in the drizzle and took a few flower photos, and then did housework until R got home – at which point it’s possible that I might have behaved as though I’d just spent a week doing hard labour in a salt mine. Ahem. This is Eryngium planum ‘Jade Frost’ – one of my purchases from Cotswold Garden Flowers a couple of weeks ago. I hope you like it, because I think it’s lovely. As well as the flower heads, which progress through an extraordinary range of colours as they open, mature and age, it has very unusual variegated foliage in blue-green (or jade, I suppose) and cream. It really is very striking, and I’m currently trying to decide where to place it so that it’s featured. It reaches about 50cm and likes a dry, sunny spot – but those aren’t the easiest requirements to meet around here, sadly. As we’re on clay the soil alternates between concrete and slime, depending on the amount of rain we’re having; and despite its size surprisingly little of the back garden is in full sun, because of the amount of shade cast by the almost-dead remains of our neighbours’ old Leylandii hedge along the southern border. The front border is reasonably sunny though, and having been in use as a garden for a couple of centuries the soil has been worked enough to drain pretty well – so I think I’ll shuffle a few things around and make space for the eryngium there. If I place it well I’ll be able to keep an eye on it from my study window, which will please me. Right – now to try to displace Dorothy Moore from your ear…. One of my all-time favourite albums is The Seldom Seen Kid by Elbow, and this is one of my favourite songs from that album. It came on my iPod a few days ago, and has been going round my head ever since – and it’s still making me smile when I wake up humming it each morning. In September 2009 I drove up to Manchester for Elbow’s homecoming gig of the tour for this album – sweetly accompanied by Child Two, because R was working in Brazil that week. I’d bought the tickets late, and had only been able to get seats behind the band (as had my sister and BiL, who drove a completely different route to Manchester from the other side of the country, but arrived at the same door at the same instant as we did – it was that kind of evening). When we got to our seats we were surprised to find t-shirts on them, with the date and “Elbow Choir” printed on them, and when the band came on stage Guy Garvey announced that the 2700 people sitting behind the stage were to be the band’s choir for the evening. It was an extraordinary experience, standing and singing backing vocals for songs I’d been listening to non-stop for weeks, and with the same view of the main audience as the band had. The final encore was a protracted version of One Day Like This, and by the time it finished (with the audience almost lifting the roof off) I had almost no voice left.

The village did flood overnight, but not as badly as a couple of weeks ago, so I hope that all our neighbours’ homes stayed dry this time. There were only a few inches of water over the lane outside our house, which meant that (using R’s car) we were able to get out of the damp trench, and take ourselves off to Chipping Campden for coffee and a walk. We went, as we tend to do, to the Campden Coffee Company, which is in the old Guild of Handicrafts building on Sheep Street. Opposite the café is a gallery that’s run as a kind of co-operative by a number of local craftspeople and artists, and after an enjoyable wander around we wound up buying a rather nice set of glass drinks coasters. Well, it would have been rude not to. It being early afternoon on Remembrance Sunday, there were still quite a lot of people about the town who looked as though they’d been to the 11am service, but by the time we were walking back towards the car the First World War Memorial was quiet and I was able to take a few photos. It’s distressing to see that the names Keen, Tracy, and Hedges all appear twice on these lists; Charles and William Hedges were brothers, and though I don’t know if the other two pairs were related, it’s a reminder of how many families lost multiple members in the 1914-18 war. In small rural communities like this one, it’s likely that there was barely a family that didn’t suffer personal loss. According to the Chipping Campden page of the Gloucestershire Roll of Honour, there are 61 names on this memorial, and 16 on the Second World War Memorial that stands nearby. The engraver was called Edgar Keen, which makes me wonder: was he related to either or both of the two men listed – and if so, how did he bear to carve their names?

This past Saturday was another Knockout Fight League amateur MMA show. We had 2 fighters from our Subfighter on the card. Jeff Sutton — in his 3rd fight since training with us — and Andre Hudson, getting back in the cage for the first time this year. Andre hasn't been training lately due to work/school, but he took the fight to replace a fighter that pulled out when no other late replacement could be found. There were also two fighters from Adam Lynn's Subfighter on the card. Diana Mendoza — fighting for the promotion's strawweight title — and Geoff Mellor, fighting for the featherweight CAMO state title. They were the last two of fourteen fights! Also, Adam Lynn & Justin Governale (the usual corners for Adam's team) were not there because they were cornering Mike Segura in a professional MMA show the same day. So Andrew Freelove and Erik Van Der Lee were on coaching duty for the team. First up, we had Andre fighting #3 on the card. He spent the first round aggressively going for takedowns against the cage. He ended up getting taken down and while there wasn't too much to note in the round, his opponent definitely won it. In the second round, Andre was a bit more aggressive. He was mixing up some heavy punches with his takedown attempt. It was a back-and-forth round and judges could have potentially seen it either way. In the corner, we noticed Andre's opponent's reaction to Andre's punches and could see that he was not willing to trade with Andre. In between the second and third round, we told Andre to drop the takedown attempts and box the opponent. Andre came out swinging in the third round, prompting his opponent to go for a bad takedown. Andre reversed the takedown and ended up mounting his opponent. More than half the round was spent with Andre in mount and back-mount, switching between ground & pound and rear-naked-choke attempts. This round was clearly a 10-8, leaving the fight as a draw at worst for Andre. When it came time to announce the scores, it was a split decision in favor of Andre. Then as we are leaving the cage, we are told that the decision has been reversed and that Andre's opponent is the winner. We still don't know what happened... Next up was Jeff Sutton fighting #9 on the card. The first half of the round was back-and-forth on the feet with both fighters landing some good shots. About halfway through, Jeff's opponent lands a solid punch and gets Jeff to go for a takedown. Jeff gets a body lock and gets immediately Judo thrown by his opponent into the mount. Jeff's opponent goes for the ground-and-pound for the finish. Jeff is defending well enough, but not escaping. He ends up giving his back because the ref is about to stop the fight from the mount. Jeff's opponent sinks his hooks in and flattens Jeff out while continuing with the ground & pound. The ref stops the first for the first round TKO. Jeff wanted to continue fighting as he wasn't getting punished too badly. But you can't let yourself get stuck in a position like that, especially in the amateur shows. He knows what his mistakes were and what to work on in the gym, so it's not a complete loss. Fighting in the co-main event for the Knockout Fight League strawweight championship was Diana Mendoza. She was fighting Maraya Miller in a fight where one of them has to lose their undefeated streak. The first round was back-and-forth without any real notable moments, but with Diana probably winning the round on being the more aggressive of the two. In the second round, Diana lands a heavy punch that drops Maraya. Diana jumps on Maraya for the kill and ends up getting the win by second round referee stoppage to become the new champ! And last up — fighting #14 in the main event — was Geoff Mellor fighting for the featherweight CAMO state championship. His opponent was Isaiah Culpepper — a fighter with a very similar style to Geoff's. In the first round, Geoff landed an early takedown. Geoff got reversed and ended up spending a good chunk of the round on his back. The second and third rounds went, for the most part, the same as each other. Isaiah would throw some heavy punches immediately into a clinch against the cage with strong head position and control. On top of the strong cage control, Geoff got cut on his head in the third round. After all was said and done, Geoff lost a unanimous decision and will hopefully come back stronger in his next fight.

Back in the 1990s, I used to joke that I lived much of my life virtually. When I wasn’t caring for kids or working at the U, I could be found in online forums like those at iVillage and other, even more fantastical virtual locations like the dock on the Oasis of Marr in Everquest. Now we’re all going virtual with a vengeance – Zoom meetings populate everyone’s online calendar and shared Google Drives allow us to coordinate efforts from miles apart. For my part, I’ve been doubling down on my early love of the possibilities we can find online in this pandemic: with incorporating more game-based learning, recording a lot of short, simple videos, and brushing up on other techniques. all hoping to cultivate our learning community in the online world. Although I’ve presented virtually before at a wonderful conference on the Old Bailey, it’s still a brave new world to have Zoom conferences (with very little schmoozing opportunities). But it’s a whole new ball game to be managing everything without access to my office (old/current or new/awaiting move-in indefinitely due to COVID-19 interruptions), my books (even though I hauled a huge bag home of the ones that I knew I’d need), and my colleagues who are in and out of the virtual space as much as I am. I even missed out on some of my own virtual appointments: a Wednesday morning social meeting passed me by after I stepped into our basement storage room for no more than ten minutes and emerged over an hour later. At least my commute is super-short! Makes more time to squeeze out some new adventures in the ongoing saga of Everquest! 4 Comments Filed under academe, teaching May 24, 2019 · 1:17 pm Writing Re-energized Term is over and I even wrangled in a vacation. (A week in eastern Ireland: it was lovely!) Now it’s back to work which means writing. I’ve been writing throughout the academic term, but it’s time to get serious and pull together the bits and pieces for an article that I can submit on crime and mothering. I cleared the decks yesterday by completing a book review due at the end of the month. The eight hundred words is just a tenth of the article total I’ll be pulling together but it helps to both relieve the tension of a looming deadline and remind me of how modest the goal of an 8,000 word article will be to polish off. Then I can move on to the next article that’s been backed up nearly as long as the first. Today I downloaded the template and author instructions for the first journal I’m targeting. I had been putting off writing the next bit and I realized that part of it was simply not feeling certain about the format. Problem solved and a page added! Much of this re-energizing was fuelled by my conference paper last fall that led to a forum piece dealing with the transience of impoverished early modern London mothers. The chance to quickly refine and submit the work was exciting, but it also made me realize that I have several stalled projects that I really ought to move along. This is also why I refrained from proposing a conference paper for the upcoming NECBS meetings in Montreal this October, instead helping to organize three sessions along with volunteering to chair at least one: this is the summer of writing and, more importantly, submitting! Comments Off on Writing Re-energized Filed under writing/editing December 28, 2018 · 6:02 pm On Teaching as Deep Thought When a sessional instructor bowed out in August, I knew that I was the only logical candidate in our department to take over teaching the second-year survey course on early industrial Europe. However, this was a course that had been my personal bête noire for some time. I’d team-taught it on return from maternity leave in early 1997 and again a few years later. Neither time did I feel I’d done the topic justice, yet here I was volunteering to do it on a few weeks notice? What changed? A lot, and a lot of it was me. I credit Jo VanEvery for a fair chunk of that change – a few years ago I signed up for her one-on-one sessions and it was wondrously helpful. I learned to clarify what I wanted to be doing so that I could be more mindful in what I was doing. At the time we spoke, I felt as if my research and teaching were insurmountably disconnected. Jo helped me to revisit my teaching, approaching it to find links with my research, and, honestly? That changed the entire game. I have always loved teaching, but approaching teaching as a way to link students and their studies to my own expertise helped enliven the practice. Next term, I’ll do that in one way with a course on Game of Thrones (on which I’ve published and lectured), but I have also used that perspective to help improve my classroom work on other “regular”histories. The challenge, I thought, would be to see if I could do this with a course I’d taught twice before and despaired about: Early Industrial Europe. So I asked myself two questions: what really had to be in the course and what could I do to make that exciting? Continue reading → 1 Comment Filed under teaching September 20, 2018 · 10:16 pm On Grand Tour, 1740 Johann Georg Keyssler (1693-1743), was a German scholar who served as steward to a succession of German nobles before making his name as a skilled tutor ideal for leading young noblemen on the Grand Tour. In 1740 he published a collection of his travel letters as Neueste Reisen durch Deutschland, Böhmen, Ungarn, die Schweiz, Italien und Lothringen which was translated into English in 1756. Keyssler’s observations combined careful descriptions of terrain and town life along with keen assessments of the political and economic contexts of the European continent since the 1680s. These excerpts come from “Letter XIX” in Volume 1 of Travels Through Germany, Bohemia, Hungary, Switzerland, Italy, and Lorrain. London: A. Linde & T. Field, 1756. Lausanne lies in a valley, but so uneven that the carriage wheels must be continually shod. On the east side of the town is a very spacious walk, with a wall, and a prospect towards the city and lake of Geneva, which seems very near, but is a good half league off. In the wall of the great Church was a crack wide enough for a man to creep through, occasion’d by an earthquake in the year 1634. The celebrated old professor Pictet used to say, that when he was a boy and at play in the church-yard, he has sometimes laid his cloak in it; about thirty years ago it was closed again by another earthquake, and the crevice which remain’d was fill’d up with mortar, being not above an inch in breadth. The tower does not want beauty, but having been twice burned, only half of it is now standing. A smaller tower belonging to this church was also set on fire by lightening, when they produently beat it down by a chain ball, by which the body of the church was saved, and since a spire has been raised on it. In the church is the marble tomb of a chevalier of the house of Granson, likewise of duke Charles Schomberg, who lost his life in Piedmont in the year 1698.[1] On one side of this cathedral is a wall’d terrass like that at Bern, with this difference, that the terrass of Bern is much higher wall’d, and that of Lausanne has the advantage in prospect, commanding the lake and all the low country towards Geneva. This country indeed from its nature, and the improvements of it, affords a delicious view in the variety of little hills and dales, fields, meadows, vineyards and woods, together with the neighbourhood of the lake. All these allurements, and the regularity and mildness of the government, draw people of all countries into the Païs de Vaud, and especially to pass the summers and autumns there; some also purchase lands. The resort of persons of rank from Geneva and the canton of Bern, of men of letters and parts, of gentlemen who have travell’d, of experienced merchants, and other persons of amiable qualities who come hither as to refuge from civil and ecclesiastical tyranny, affords the most desirable opportunities of spending the time agreeably in improving conversation. Even ministers of state whose talents have shown in the greatest courts of Europe, have chosen this spot for the seat of their repose: and their conversation to a mind turn’d for instruction, whom they are pleased to honour with their confidence, cannot but be an exquisite entertainment, as they themselves may feel transports of rational pleasures, which they were strangers to amidst the tumult of a court, and the embarrassments of their station. [155-6] *** To return from my digression, and say a word more of the charming Païs de Vaud, which beginning at Morat, reaches to Geneva, and is to be distinguished from La Vaux, which is but a small part thereof lying betwixt Lausanne and Bevay, and not above three leagues in length, and but one in breadth; it produces the wine called Vin de la Vaux, of a good body and agreeable flavour, yet has not such a demand as the Vin de la Côte growing betwixt Lausanne and Geneva, which not being so strong is accounted more wholesome. The country from Lausanne to Geneva abounds in vineyards, but the wine of a strip of land betwixt the river Aubonne and Pronsontause, a little brook falling in to the lake, half a league on this sideNyon, is esteemed the choicest. This territory is three small leagues in length, and is distinguished by the name of la Côte. The wine of the growth of Rolle and Bursin, two particular spots from here, is reckoned to surpass the rest, and especially the white wine; a the barony of Copet, which lies nearer towards Geneva, is celebrated for red wine. The wine growing on the Savoy side of the lake of Geneva had formerly a very soniderable vent, the people of Geneva, and the neighbouring Switzers buying their wine from Savoy; but a certain rapacious placeman put the duke upon laying a duty upon this wine, which, as the Switzers could not be without it, he said would be a great increase to the revenue. Such counsellors are but too readily listened to, and the imposition took place. This of course occasioned the wine to rise, and the Switzers were not wanting to make remonstrances, but to no purpose; at last, seeing no remedy, it came into the minds of some leading men, that though their forefathers had never any thoughts of planting vines, yet that it was not impossible that their country, especially that part of it between Geneva and Lausanne, might yield as good wine as Savoy; the position of their mountains and of the land in general, affording a better exposure to the sun than the Savoy territory. The business was set on foot, and the consequence far exceeded all expectation; whereas the Savoy wines remained upon their hands, and instead of the uncertain advantage which the duke’s finances were gaping after, they lost, besides the detriment to the industrious subjects, a certain income, which they have never since been able to retrieve. From Lausanne through Morges to Rolle is reckoned five hours journey; but it is usually gone in four. On the right-hand lies Aubonne, at present a government of the canton of Bern, but formerly a lordship belonging to the marquis du Quesne, which he purchased of Tavernier, the famous traveller, and afterward sold it to Bern. Tavernier had bought it upon the king of France’s having given him letters of nobility, with an intent of quietly spending there the remainder of his life; but by the knavery of a cousin of his, whom he had sent to the East-Indies with a cargo of two hundred and twenty two thousand French livres value, and the sale of which would at least have fetched a million, became involved in such troubles, that he was obliged to dispose of every thing, and ended his life in a manner very different from the ease and affluence with which he had flattered himself. As for the marquis du Quesne, he was eldest son of the famous admiral du Quesne, the only person whom the French could oppose to the Dutch admiral Ruyter. These two sea heroes are said to have had such mutual esteem, and such a dread of losing the honour they had gained, that they always avoided each other, sending private information of the course they intended to steer; till once du Quesne being by contrary winds hindered from pursuing the course which he had specified to Ruyter, they happened, contrary to the inclinations of both to meet of Mesina, and thus there was a necessity of coming to an engagement. It is also said, that from a false motion made by the Dutch admiral’s ship, du Quesne concluding Ruyter to be no longer in command, immediately animated his men with assuring them that Ruyter was killed; whereas he lived some days after he received the wound.[2] Du Quesne continued a firm Protestant; so that when, in his advanced age Lewis XIV. Was practising upon him to forsake his religion, he frankly answered, Sire, j’ai rendu asses long temps á Cesar ce qui est dû á cesar; il est temps, que je rende aussi á Dieu ce qui lui est dû. ‘I have long enough been rendering to Cesar the things which are Cesar’s, it is now time for me to render also to God what is due to him.’ So little did the king understand this, that turning to the by-standers he said, Est ce que la tête tourney á cet homme? Veut il server l’empereur? ‘Is the man out of his mind? Is he for serving the emperor?’ Being on account of his naval qualities, the person whom in those times the crown of France could not spare, he was the only one who, at the time of the repeal of the edict of Nantz, was connived at, and not compelled to abjure his religion, or quit the country. The heart of this great man lies in a marble tomb erected by his son in the church of Aubonne; the spirit of persecution, after all his eminent services, not allowing the whole body to be carried out of town.

She appears to have been alone in the world – no parents are mentioned and she seems to have no home or family to care for her. Nevertheless, little Hannah was not content to be the object of anyone’s charity and stole from her benefactors. The list of what she stole is staggering: a watch, smocks, sheets, and other linens, a bodice and a petticoat – from two different individuals. Both appeared to have offered the young girl a kindness. John Hoxly had taken Hannah in off the streets, given her shelter, but she stole his goods and pawned them for liquor. Hannah had been sleeping alongside the daughter of her second victim, Anne Harding, when she stole the clothes to be pawned. All told, Hannah’s crimes deprived her victims of over 8 pounds sterling worth of personal effects. By the letter of the law, that was more than enough to ensure that the young girl would suffer the death penalty. But at the end of each brief summary of Hannah’s crimes, the record indicates that Hannah was found “Guilty to the value of 10 d.” That valuation had nothing to do with Hoxly’s and Harding’s losses. It had everything to do with mercy. Thefts valued over ten pence merited execution. Thefts under that value were seen as open to mercy. Hannah received mercy from the court. She was one of 35 prisoners sentenced to be transported at this session: over half of all those convicted. Only five were executed. For all that England had a Bloody Code, the courts often found good reason to set aside the extremes, and show some mercy. The mercy shown her was not necessarily unusual and we need to keep that in mind when reading the early modern law. What was on the books did not correlate to people’s lived experience of the courts. There were two ways in which Hannah might have been thought worthy of mercy: on the basis of her age and her sex. Eighteenth century children weren’t seen as innocent angels: especially not poor and thieving children like Hannah. At the same time, authorities were receptive to the idea that children could be redeemed and a ten-year-old would seem on the verge of either falling irredeemably into vice or being restored to good order and godly living. Similarly, while early modern ideas of women still emphasized their carnal nature as descendants of Eve, popular culture was also willing to excuse women as being less than fully culpable in some cases. Gregory Durston studied the two broad categories into which women at the courts were slotted: as victims or viragos. Little Hannah might have been a victim in some of the onlookers’ eyes because of her youth and her gender. But a ten-year-old girl either herself a gin addict or taking advantage of the gin craze? She might be seen as more of a virago. Her crimes were serious enough to warrant punishment, but her age and gender made the court leery of putting the young girl to death. Transportation it would be: how merciful really was that? It’s a false dichotomy that without transportation the only alternative was death. Ashley Rubin shows that other alternative punishments such as whipping, branding, or fining were far less employed after the Transportation Act of 1718. If Hannah had been tried ten years early, she might well have been whipped or received some other punishment: now she would face seven years transported to the colonies. Compared to death, that was mercy. Compared to some of the other punishments more commonly employed before 1718? Not so much. Sources Durston, Gregory.

It is a case of poisoning, long seen as a women’s weapon, but it’s so much more than this: the more you dig, the more you see an unhappy household and the possibility of a poorly-blended family. I first stumbled upon this case when searching out stepmothers’ stories and looking up every possible use of related terms. Since step-parents and in-laws were interchangeable terms, there’s some confusion in the terms. Elizabeth shared a bed with Hannah Tudor in the house, the first person giving evidence in the case, revealing some interesting family dynamics: that on Friday Night the Prisoner and the Deceased (who was her Father-in-Law) had many Words together, insomuch that he threatned to turn her out of Doors; and she told him he should not: that on Saturday Morning while the Deceased’s Wife was feeding of him, he complained there was something in the Porridge, and that she told him there was nothing to her Knowledge for she clean’d the Sauce-Pan and boyled it her self, and if there was any thing it must be in the Oat-meal; that he eat two or three Spoonfuls more, and complained again, whereupon she went and took the Spoon out of her Mistresses Hand. and stirring the Milk found something in it, which she said look’d like Lime, and his Son said it look’d like Starch; that stirring it to the Bottom she found a great many white Specks So either Hannah, testifying here, or Elizabeth, was Thomas’ stepdaughter. Malcolm Gaskill saw that as Hannah Tudor’s relationship. When he discusses this case in Crime and Mentalities, he assigns Elizabeth Cranberry the role of household servant. Therefore, her poisoning of Thomas Biggs would be not just murder but petty treason. However, in the passage that I quoted above, Hannah is the one describing Mrs. Biggs as her mistress and when she talks about the other witness, it is as Thomas’ son, not as her step-brother (or, more likely, brother-in-law given the earlier phrasing in this case). Whatever Elizabeth’s and Hannah’s relationship to the Biggs, something was clearly amiss with this meal. Thomas demanded to search everyone’s boxes and only Elizabeth resisted. When her belongings were finally searched, a packet of white powder was found and was brought to a Dr. Perkins who testified that it contained white arsenic, white vitriol and bole armoniac. Given that Elizabeth had previously been a servant to an apothecary and admitted that she had the materials to help in washing gloves, the case seemed clear-cut to the court, and she was sentenced to death. But I wonder at the possible family dynamics unexplored. If Elizabeth Cranberry was Thomas Biggs’ stepdaughter and not his servant, her mother was his wife: the same woman who admitted she mixed the porridge herself and “she made a Saucepan of Milk-Porridge, as usual, and left her Daughter (the Prisoner) to look after her Nursery while she fed her Husband (the Deceased) that he complained there was something in his Porridge twice, &c”. We learn that Mrs. Biggs was the one her husband sent to the doctors when he fell ill, who conveyed his order to feed Mr. Biggs oil to induce vomiting, and who oversaw the unsuccessful treatment. To construct a storyline where Mrs. Biggs murdered her husband and framed, or at the very least allowed Elizabeth Cranberry to take the blame, is deliciously simple – probably much more appetizing a prospect than that mess of porridge that poisoned Thomas, whoever truly was the culprit.

Comments Off on Poisoned Family, 1720 Filed under crime, history January 30, 2018 · 11:48 pm Making But a Bad Defence, 1681 It was on Christmas Eve in 1680 that a young girl died a horrible death in London. The victim was twelve or fourteen years of age and apprenticed to the chief suspect: one Leticia Wigington (aka Alice Wiggens), a seamstress of Ratcliff parish to the east of the city proper. At the January sessions in 1681, Wigington was brought to trial in a case that captured London’s attention. The Proceedings opened with a shopping list of crimes being tried at the court and the punishments meted out, but made special mention of Wiginton’s crime, averring that she had murdered the girl “in such a barbarous manner, that the like hath scarce been heard.” The brief account in the middle of the full Proceedings made up in pathos what it lacked in detail. The manner of death was shocking: apparently the apprentice girl had either stolen some money or spoiled some work and, as a result, Wigington got one of her lodgers (some suggested her adulterous lover) to make a cat o’ nine tails – a short whip tipped with multiple lashes that would become a byword for cruel military punishment. Then Wigington and her lodger, one Sadler by name, whipped the child for hours, reportedly rubbing salt in her wounds to further torture the girl. They felt it necessary to muffle her cries so as not to disturb the neighbours, and then beat her until she seemed dead and soon expired. Sadler fled and Wigington went on trial alone. (He was captured a few days later, soon tried and quickly put to death.) While convicted in January, Wigington was not executed summarily. She plead the belly and so languished in Newgate until September when she finally hanged for her crime. The defence that she had so lacked in January apparently came to her in the intervening time. A London printer produced The confession and execution of Leticia Wigington of Ratclif two days before her September 11 death, prefacing it by an outraged notice that the murderess had confessed her crime before the court in January, but now sought to change her story. Likely, the editorial insertion suggested, this was the result of her close contact with Catholic priests (this being the height of the Popish Plot hysteria). In this final gasp of a condemned woman, the story changes dramatically. Sadler is not a aid to her cruelty but the central figure in the murderous event. He doesn’t just make a weapon for Wigington’s use, he is the central driver in the foul scheme (he is also living out of wedlock with another woman, Wigington contends). When she tries to see justice done for this murdered girl, Leticia Wigington is instead framed and indicted on false testimony. Abandoned by all, even her husband who repudiates her for pleading the belly while they have been separated for months, she ends the rambling account with prayers for the souls of those whose evils brought her to death’s door. But the time to have made this case was long past. Wigington had been quickly condemned in the court of public opinion as many pamphlets had shown. Neighbours characterized her as cruel and her own words were used to condemn her, as well as another apprentice, Rebecca Clifford. The last had apparently recanted her claims, but it wasn’t enough to stave off the end. Sources Martin, Randall. Women, Murder and Equity in Early Modern England. London: Routledge, 2007.

Wing W2110 Comments Off on Making But a Bad Defence, 1681 Filed under crime, history January 23, 2018 · 8:30 pm The Lodger’s Scheme, 1678 The Old Bailey Online shows us a great deal about the everyday lives of early modern people, often inadvertently. Something of the makeshift economy that keeps single women afloat in London – both its legal and illegal elements – appears in the case of a household of women. Somewhere to the west of London proper, in the growing suburban parish of St. Andrew Holborn, a drama emerged involving four women who, at least for a time, lived under the same roof. This story shows that beneath the seemingly placid facade of household heads could live an interesting mix of different people in different situations. This home had a landlady and her daughter, a lodger and someone who sublet from the lodger, setting up the opportunity for an attempted crime that needed just one more thing: a chance to be alone in the shared room. In mid-December of 1678, Anne Moundsel appeared before the court, charged by Mary Brasier with felony theft. Moundsel was a lodger in Mary’s room – we have no other details of the women’s relationship besides the weekly rent that Anne paid (6 pence). However Anne Moundsel apparently was close enough to Mary Brasier that she was able to convince Mary to deliver a letter on Anne’s behalf somewhere on the Strand, the bustling commercial street running from Temple Bar into Westminster. Mary Brasier complained to the court that she had been sent on “a false Errand, with a feigned Letter into the Strand, to a person whom she could never find” while her roommate used her absence to systematically rob Mary of a gown, a petticoat and other linens. Brasier’s complaint was supported by another woman of the household. Eleanor Hasset, her landlady, revealed that the scheme had involved her innocent daughter. Anne Moundsel reportedly had asked the landlady’s child to write a letter and promised her something in return. The mother reported “the Child told her, She suspected the Prisoner was a Thief, and that she her self thought so too” and so Eleanor set up a sting, watching to see the schemer put on Brasier’s gown and gather up her other cloth, then leave the house. Determinedly, Hasset set out in pursuit, fetching the miscreant back once and yet again when Moundsel tried to flee. And then she saw that justice was done. The Proceedings concludes with Moundsel’s counter-claim that she had been permitted to borrow the dress and was taking the rest for mending, but standing against the clear narrative of her roommate and the landlady, the court and the jury demurred. Anne Moundsel was found guilty of theft and sentenced to branding. This likely would have been a “T” for theft on the thumb – Anne Moundsel is fortunate that she didn’t commit her theft closer to the start of the eighteenth century: from 1699 to 1707, brandings were done on the face in order to more clearly mark out a felon.

Comments Off on The Lodger’s Scheme, 1678 Filed under crime, history January 18, 2018 · 8:08 pm Respite’s End, 1692 In June of 1692, a Holborn woman, Ruth Phillips, was charged with high treason in the Old Bailey. Her crime? Clipping coins. This may not sound like a serious offence today, but in the early modern period, trimming bits of the currency of the realm was seen as an attack upon the monarch by undermining the country’s coinage. English money wasn’t in great repute in the 1690s – the beleaguered government decided in 1696 to remake all the coins in a new, reliable process but failed to recall and remake all the money in this ambitious scheme. Instead, coin clippers and counterfeiter continued their covert attacks on the cash that fuelled England’s economy and filled their own pockets. We might think of currency crime as an activity of powerful bankers, financial wizards or vast workshops of cunning tradesfolk, but coining and counterfeiting were crimes that could be committed at home by men and women, young and old. All it required were a few basic tools and enough muscle strength to wrangle the metal of the coins in order to succeed. That, and a little privacy where you wouldn’t be discovered in the criminal act. The accusations made against Ruth Phillips came largely from women in her household. After showing the many tools of the trade that were found in a trunk in her house, one of Ruth Phillips’ maids testified against her mistress. Swore that comming into the Kitchen, she saw the Prisoners Arm move up and down as if she Clipp’d Money or somewhat else like it; and that she saw both Broad Money and Clipp’d Money lie before her, but she could not say that she saw any Shears in her Hands, neither did she see her actually Clip Another witness testified that she heard the clipping of the coins, metal screaming under the trimming of the shears. Those tools and a bag of freshly trimmed coins were produced as evidence. Phillips fought back, accusing various others, particularly a nurse in her household who spoke against the mistress. In Ruth Phillips’ account, the coining materials had been brought into her house by some of her servants. Furthermore, the accused countered, charging that the Nurse who had testified against her had robbed Phillips. Another witness was brought forward to substantiate Phillips’ claim and further suggest that the nurse had framed her mistress. The court seemed unmoved by these counter-claims and given that so much material had been seized in Phillips’ house, how could anyone believe she was ignorant of the operation? We do not know if Ruth Phillips was married, unmarried, or a widow. After her attempt to frame the nurse failed, the accused woman then claimed that one Cha. Phillips, presumably a male relative, had left the bag of coins and clipping tools with her but the court was dubious. Two wildly different claims from Ruth Phillips swayed the judge not at all. She was found guilty and the punishment for high treason was death. However, Ruth Phillips had an ace up her sleeves or so she might think. The court heard a “pleading of the belly” where the condemned claimed that she was pregnant and thus should not be executed while she was quick with child. Apparently a jury of matrons agreed, as Ruth Phillips’ sentence was respited for pregnancy. In some cases, the respite was permanent: expectant mothers might be entirely pardoned or sentenced to a lesser punishment such as transportation. Sadly, Ruth Phillips was not so lucky. We have no information about her pregnancy, but in October her name appears in the Ordinary of Newgate’s Account as she is readied for her execution. According to the Ordinary, Ruth Phillips had hoped that her respite, like that of some others, would have continued. Instead, she was rudely reminded that a respite wasn’t necessarily permanent. Ruth Phillips, Condemned about three Sessions since, then respited because quick with Child, and now brought back to her former Judgment. She denyed not the Crime: She confess’d that she had neglected her Duty to God, of which she was now very sensible. I declared to her, that I feared she had not improved her Reprieve to the advantage of her Soul, but grew secure, hoping that she should escape the Sentence of Death. She replyed, that the Concernment of making Preparation for her Death, was a secret Work betwixt God and her own Soul. When brought out to the execution, Ruth Phillips sat while the men were hanged and then her own method of execution was prepared. As befits a female traitor, her end was different: she was not to be hanged, but burned at the stake. The Ordinary was disappointed that there was no final penitence from this wicked woman. Ruth Phillips rather maintained that she was a victim of her servants’ malice, but submitted to her execution calmly. She was strangled and then her body was burned: a salutary lesson to any others who might besmirch the royal majesty by clipping coins.

He was prosecuted by one who he might have looked upon as a friend and benefactor: John Saucer, his next-door neighbour. Saucer had an indictment against young James Blundel, claiming the youth had stolen eight yards of lustring, a shiny, fine and glossy weave of silk, as well as a silk hood, all from his house. Blundel’s trial sparks interest on several grounds, despite the brevity of the account. First is the young boy’s circumstance: he is a parish child – an orphan, perhaps abandoned at birth or through the death of his parents left to rely upon the charity of the parish. This case occurring decades before the foundation of London’s Foundling Hospital, his care was very local. His parish, Harrow on the Hill, in London’s northwest, well outside the old city walls, secured the services of a nurse to care for young James. This was common practice, more than one in ten London women worked as nurses, caring for the sick, the poor, the young and the elderly. James Blundel’s unnamed nurse lived next door to John Saucer and his family, who thus came to know the young boy. John Saucer, by the Proceedings‘ account, took a fancy to youthful James, apparently seeing him as a prospective servant. When the Saucers went away from home in February, 1714, the little boy was left in charge of their house. Saucer returned to discover the materials missing and accused his one-time favourite. The report asserts that the Saucers threatened to take the boy into London, to a Cunning Man. A lawyer perhaps? Or someone more terrifying? The record is sadly opaque. What we do know is that the threat prompted young James to bolt. He ran away to his nurse and she apparently sheltered him against the Saucer’s wrath. How much protection could she offer, though? For all the month of March, from the time of the theft to the trial itself, did the child stay safe in her care or did he languish in Newgate? We do not know how he spent those long weeks. However, when the accused eventually spoke in the court, he told a very different story that brings us to our second point of intrigue in the case. Young Blundel claimed that he was innocent, an unsurprising assertion. But the details of who he accused and how are unexpected. He said that it was not he but his nurse’s grandson, one James Cock, who only stole the Saucer’s silk. Furthermore, Cock didn’t act alone. No, he gave the stolen silk to his grandmother, Blundel’s nurse. She apparently received “whatever they stole”. In this version of the theft, James Blundel was nothing more than a convenient scapegoat for a practised set of thieves right there on Saucer’s door. Parish nurses didn’t enjoy a good reputation in early eighteenth century London. Popular belief suspected many of starving or mistreating their charges. To hear that one had a family given to thieving and that she had further acted to receive stolen goods might not have been a surprising claim for the court to hear. James Blundel was acquited. The judge advised John Saucer to press his case against James Cock – there is no mention of the grandmother’s role so possibly her part seemed less substantiated. Saucer did just as the court advised in October of the next year, suggesting that Cock must have been an elusive soul to evade prosecution for so long. Despite Blundel’s earlier testimony, this wasn’t an easy victory for Saucer. As the Proceedings explains, with no evidence brought against Cock, he was acquitted. Was Blundel no longer in the neighbour’s custody to be able to speak on Saucer’s behalf? The Saucers certainly got no satisfaction for their stolen silk. That said, we don’t know what happened to James Blundel. Did he stay with the nurse he’d accused of receiving stolen goods – that seems unlikely as he didn’t testify against Cock? Did the Saucers regret their prosecution and restore him to their household? Blundel’s absence from the second trial argues against this. Perhaps the first trial was simply an elaborate scam by Blundel, Cock, and the nameless parish nurse to evade justice in an early eighteenth-century precursor to Oliver Twist? It would be wonderful to find out more about their lives and how life carried on in this corner of Harrow after the prosecutions and acquittals!

Both widgetbox and UJober are excellent alternatives to offering through other work at home platforms. They provide the very same amount of freelance services, however on a bigger scale. Their combined power gives them a substantial advantage over other online platforms. Freelance platforms like UJober and widgetbox are excellent places to offer your talent and abilities if you want to get going with an online company. But these platforms aren’t the only ones worth checking out. There are many other freelance marketplaces out there. You can utilize these sites to get your feet wet and learn more about the various kinds of markets out there. When you have actually discovered some jobs that you have an interest in, you can build a portfolio and profile and then start taking a look at other opportunities. One very popular niche opportunity on the internet is peopleperhour. A lot of people are under the impression that peopleperhour is a genuine work at home task. Peopleperhour is a freelance marketplace where you can find people who need freelancer talents for little jobs. You may be able to snag a gig doing something like tape-recording an audio documentary, if you’re an excellent freelancer. You can also offer services like website design, graphic style, programs, social networks, and much more through fiverr. The best aspect of offering your abilities on fiverr is that you have an unlimited number of purchasers. It enables you to explore your own passions and give customers what they’re searching for.

This is another good choice to think about if you aren’t rather sure about a specific niche or aren’t rather sure how to make a name for yourself in the marketplace. If you’re not quite sure about utilizing fiverr as your sole source for freelance tasks, you can also look into utilizing other SEO tools and methods to market your site.

Freelance designers are often one of the very best fiverr alternatives to pick when it comes to discovering quality style work. The primary distinction between the two is that Fiverr generally offers lower rates than work, so those who don’t mind getting a bit less for their style work should find fiverr a good deal much easier to get hold of than upwork. In either case, it is necessary that you think about the choices that you have available to you in the marketplace. Selecting one over the other isn’t always necessary, however it’s certainly worth checking out the choices that are out there and seeing which one works finest for you.

In the last two posts, we looked at how a collaborative approach might contribute to the effectiveness of the first 90 days of a new head of technology’s tenure. In this post, we’ll focus on how such an approach can be leveraged beyond the first three months, with particular attention to the use of three kinds of teams (leadership, management, and operations) to structure IT activity. The head of technology has a few basic things that must be accomplished to stay employed: 1. Keep the lights on (sometimes referred to as supply) 2. Deliver requests for work on time, in budget, and to the satisfaction of all stakeholders 3. Provide leadership to the organization about new ways to use technology to achieve business goals (sometimes referred to as demand) Each of these requires a different mix of strategy and tactics, as well as attention to both operational and managerial dimensions. It’s therefore imperative to make sure that the collaborative model put in place encourages all of these to be considered (albeit in different proportions) when addressing each of the above three tasks. Doing so helps ground the more visionary, leadership activities in the reality of how work is done in IT; it also helps align the day-to-day work of IT with departmental and organizational strategy. Both of these are critical if IT is to add value to the organization–and to be recognized for the value it adds by the larger organization. The following are some ideas for how to construct these three teams in order to best leverage them to keep the lights on, deliver work successfully, and provide leadership to the wider organization. Leadership Team –Members: The direct reports of the head of technology, the head of technology –Responsibilities: Meeting regularly to discuss the IT organization (strategy and tactics) in order to identify areas for improvement, whether by fixing something broken or introducing something new. Ideas can come from within the group or from suggestions collected from outside the leadership team. Management Team –Members: IT managers selected by the leadership team; should not be based on seniority, but rather on their suitability for moving up in the organization (varying combinations of management skill, technical acumen, business domain knowledge, operations expertise, leadership qualities, communication skills, and ambition) –Responsibilities: Meeting regularly to discuss the IT organization (both management and operations) in order to identify areas for improvement, whether by fixing something broken or introducing something new. Ideas can come from within the group or from suggestions collected from outside the management team. Operations Team –Members: IT non-managers (and possibly some IT managers) selected by the management team; should not be based on seniority, but rather on their suitability for moving up in the organization (varying combinations of technical acumen, business domain knowledge, operations expertise, leadership qualities, communication skills, management skills, and ambition). –Responsibilities: Meeting regularly to discuss operations in order to identify areas for improvement, whether by fixing something broken or introducing something new. Ideas can come from within the group or from suggestions collected from outside the operations team. There are a variety of ways that these teams could function day-to-day, and much will depend on the particular local conditions in any given organization. But the following is an illustration of how the teams might function from a high level at an organization: Operations team improvement process 1. Area for improvement identified. 2. Ops team develops idea and submits proposal to management team. 3. Management team vets idea; if approved, ops team is invited to present to management team; if approved pending changes, changes are made and then ops team is invited to present; if rejected, the process ends. 4. Ops team presents to management team; discussion and sharpening of idea. 5. Management team reworks presentation for the leadership team and submits. 6. Leadership team vets; if approved, management team is invited to present to leadership team (ops team involvement may be appropriate); if approved pending changes, changes are made and then management team is invited to present; if rejected, the process ends. 7. Management team presents to leadership team; discussion and sharpening of idea; may involve an iterative review cycle to get the idea fully developed. 8. Go/no go decision. Management team improvement process 1. Area for improvement identified. 2. Management team develops idea (may involve consulting ops team where appropriate) and submits proposal to leadership team. 3. Leadership team vets; if approved, management team is invited to present to leadership team (ops team involvement may be appropriate); if approved pending changes, changes are made and then management team is invited to present; if rejected, the process ends. 4. Management team presents to leadership team; discussion and sharpening of idea; may involve an iterative review cycle to get the idea fully developed. 5. Go/no go decision. Leadership team improvement process 1. Area for improvement identified. 2. Leadership team develops high-level discussion of idea and identifies a proposal team made up of members of the management and/or ops team to be tasked with developing it. 3. Proposal team develops idea and submits to leadership team. 3. Leadership team vets; if approved, project team is invited to present to leadership team; if approved pending changes, changes are made and then project team is invited to present; if rejected, the process ends. 4. Project team presents to leadership team; discussion and sharpening of idea; may involve an iterative review cycle to get the idea fully developed. 5. Go/no go decision. This three-team structure could of course also be leveraged for the day-to-day running of an IT department in a number of ways, mostly depending on the local conditions in an organization. But hopefully the general framework I’ve described here gets you excited to start evaluating more collaborative approaches to the challenges you and your organization face.

As we begin the second year of the pandemic, I want to express my gratitude to you. Your patience, understanding and flexibility helps us be successful in this challenging environment. Watching you adapt inspires our own efforts. Your coaching helps us be better. Because of your support, we are learning from this experience and will be even better in the future because of it. This month, there is not much in the graphs and numbers that we don’t already know. The volume of mortgage originations the last four quarters is remarkable. The purchase market remains strong, the declining inventory of homes for sale notwithstanding. Comparisons to last year will be less enlightening going forward due to pandemic related effects on home buying and modestly rising interest rates. The Indiana Department of Local Government Finance changed the sales disclosure process at the beginning of the year. As a result, the data used to prepare some of our quarterly graphs about purchase transactions is unavailable. Those charts are not included this month. When that data becomes available, the charts will be updated and included in a later report. Enjoy the spring! ~ John Bethell February, 2021 Mortgage Market Share Report March 11, 2021 Is the refinance boom over? Yes, mortgage rates are higher than a few months ago. Yes, the trend line is heading the wrong direction. My experience over the last forty years includes eight or nine “rates will never be this low again” refinance markets. In each one I can recall that refinance volume continued strong for quite a while after rates hit the bottom of that cycle. Some people will always be late to the party. I still believe that by the fourth quarter, refinance volume will start to return to pre-pandemic levels, which we thought were pretty strong back then. The refinance boom is not over, but we won’t be quite as busy in 2021. In February, the Indiana Chamber of Commerce named John Bethell Title as one of the top 125 places to work in the State of Indiana. I am especially proud of our team and they are well deserving of this recognition. Each one of them contributes to making JBT a great place to work. And in turn that makes JBT a great place for each of our clients to work with. Despite last month’s winter storm, we still managed help over 350 people to buy, sell or refinance their properties. Since the pandemic started, we helped over 6000 people. A number that twelve months ago I would have considered unattainable. I am grateful to all our clients for their patience and support during this time. Today, there appears to be a light at the end of the tunnel. I can’t wait to get there! Enjoy the spring! ~ John Bethell January, 2021 Mortgage Market Share Report February 12, 2021 Mortgage activity continued strong through January. Especially refinancing. The purchase market, by seasonal standards, is also active despite the severe lack of inventory. It is still too early to predict how 2021 will turn out, but one thing we can count on is taxes. The 2020 pay in 2021 real estate taxes will become official and available in a few weeks. Here’s a link to the State Budget Order for Monroe County. It details the levy for each taxing district in the county. Monroe County Budget Order. Once the taxes become official and available, we’ll begin using those amounts for all prorations unless otherwise instructed. When able, we will also pay those taxes at closing. Over the next few months, taxes will be prorated, paid and escrowed in a variety of ways. If you or your clients are unsure or confused about how taxes are being treated in a transaction, your Closer will be happy to assist you. In January our team helped over 400 people to buy, sell or refinance their properties. An amazingly large number for January. We are grateful to all our clients for the opportunity to help so many people move onto new housing opportunities or improve their financial situation. ~ John Bethell December, 2020 Mortgage Market Share Report January 22, 2021 What a crazy year we experienced! New mortgage recordings hit a high not seen since 2004 and 2005 when new construction boomed and anyone that could fog a mirror qualified for a no down payment sub-prime mortgage. The effect of rising home prices is clearly evident by the steady increase in average loan amounts. (chart page 8) More evidence of such is the doubling of owner-occupied sales over $200,000 in the last six years. (chart page 19) The purchase market as evidenced by deed recordings cratered in May after we all stayed at home in April only to rebound twice in the last seven months and finish with an annual total about the same as each of the previous four years. (see charts pages7 & 15) This supports my personal theory that until there is a change in the City of Bloomington’s restrictive work force housing development policies, the resulting low inventory will cap the purchase market at around 2600 sales per year. Even a moderate weakening of demand won’t change that much. Sellers may experience fewer multiple offer situations, but there’ll still be enough buyers to support this level of activity. I am excited for 2021 and the promise it holds to be very good for mortgage originations. While the number of refinances may drop off over the course of the year, the consistently good purchase market will keep us all busy. Thank you for all your support and kind words through the ups and downs of 2020. Our team is well prepared for 2021 and will continue to make your closing experience outstanding! ~ John Bethell November, 2020 Mortgage Market Share Report Page 2 of 27«12345...1020...»Last » Like Us on Facebook Monthly Mortgage Market Share Mortgage Market Share Archives Mortgage Market Share Archives October, 2021 Mortgage Market Share Report September, 2021 Mortgage Market Share Report July & August, 2021 Mortgage Market Share Report May, 2021 Mortgage Market Share Report April, 2021 Mortgage Market Share Report Recent Posts Monthly Mortgage Market Share Report Fees for Closing Protection Letter Coverage Established Effective July 1, 2013 New Indiana Law Requires Closing Protection Letters for All Parties New Construction Down, But a Good Time to Build Online Ordering Tool Recent Posts Monthly Mortgage Market Share Report Fees for Closing Protection Letter Coverage Established Effective July 1, 2013 New Indiana Law Requires Closing Protection Letters for All Parties New Construction Down, But a Good Time to Build Online Ordering Tool Resources Monroe County GIS Mortgage Market Share Bloomington Homefinder Home Closing 101 Privacy Policy 2626 South Walnut Street Bloomington, IN 47401 (812) 339-8434 (812) 333-5063 customerservice@johnbtitle.com © 2021 John Bethell Title Company Website by Tribeswell Please Note All questions regarding starting online purchase orders, refinance online orders and career opportunities with John Bethell Title should be sent directly to our service inbox, which can be reached at CustomerService@JohnBTitle.com.

Part I: General Impacts on Precipitation and the Energy Budget Keith J. Harding and Peter K. Snyder Abstract Since World War II, the expansion of irrigation throughout the Great Plains has resulted in a significant decline in the water table of the Ogallala Aquifer, threatening its long-term sustainability. The addition of near-surface water for irrigation has previously been shown to impact the surface energy and water budgets by modifying the partitioning of latent and sensible heating. A strong increase in latent heating drives near-surface cooling and an increase in humidity, which has opposing impacts on convective precipitation. In this study, the Weather Research and Forecasting Model (WRF) was modified to simulate the effects of irrigation on precipitation. Using a satellite-derived fractional irrigation dataset, grid cells were divided into irrigated and nonirrigated segments and the near-surface soil layer within irrigated segments was held at saturation. Nine April–October periods (three drought, three normal, and three pluvial) were simulated over the Great Plains. Averaging over all simulations, May–September precipitation increased by 4.97 mm (0.91%), with localized increases of up to 20%. The largest precipitation increases occurred during pluvial years (6.14 mm; 0.98%) and the smallest increases occurred during drought years (2.85 mm; 0.63%). Precipitation increased by 7.86 mm (1.61%) over irrigated areas from the enhancement of elevated nocturnal convection. Significant precipitation increases occurred over irrigated areas during normal and pluvial years, with decreases during drought years. This suggests that a soil moisture threshold likely exists whereby irrigation suppresses convection over irrigated areas when soil moisture is extremely low and enhances convection when antecedent soil moisture is relatively high.

Harding and Peter K. Snyder Abstract The rapid expansion of irrigation in the Great Plains since World War II has resulted in significant water table declines, threatening the long-term sustainability of the Ogallala Aquifer. As discussed in Part I of this paper, the Weather Research and Forecasting Model (WRF) was modified to simulate the effects of irrigation at subgrid scales. Simulations of nine April–October periods (three drought, three normal, and three pluvial) over the Great Plains were completed to assess the full impact of irrigation on the water budget. Averaged over all simulated years, irrigation over the Great Plains contributes to May–September evapotranspiration increases of approximately 4% and precipitation increases of 1%, with localized increases of up to 20%. Results from these WRF simulations are used along with a backward trajectory analysis to identify where evapotranspiration from irrigated fields falls as precipitation (i.e., irrigation-induced precipitation) and how irrigation impacts precipitation recycling. On average, only 15.8% of evapotranspiration from irrigated fields falls as precipitation over the Great Plains, resulting in 5.11 mm of May–September irrigation-induced precipitation and contributing to 6.71 mm of recycled precipitation. Reductions in nonrecycled precipitation suggest that irrigation reduces precipitation of moisture advected into the region. The heaviest irrigation-induced precipitation is coincident with simulated and observed precipitation increases, suggesting that observed precipitation increases in north-central Nebraska are strongly related to evapotranspiration of irrigated water. Water losses due to evapotranspiration are much larger than irrigation-induced precipitation and recycled precipitation increases, confirming that irrigation results in net water loss over the Great Plains.

Malovište hosts great village architecture featuring stone houses with stone roofs, cobbled stone streets and stone bridges. Here there is a church dedicated to St. Paraskeva (Sv Petka, Св Петка) that was built in 1856. This village is inhabited mainly by Vlasi (Vlach, Cincara). According to the 2002 Macedonian Census, Malovište had a population of 98 of which 87 were Vlachs (Vlasi). We arrived here on a rainy morning, which did not give us blue skies, but did give us a special glow and color to the stone architecture of the village.

Reply kwoneshe2 says: December 4, 2008 at 3:05 am I suppose I fall in the “saver” side. I hate spending money on frivilous things, and am always worried about having enough put back for an emergency. Reply thegoddessanna says: December 4, 2008 at 4:33 am I’m the spender. My husband hates all forms of shopping, so I’m the one who buys the groceries, the clothes, the everything. I’m also the one who likes to splurge, so it fits me. Reply SanityFound says: December 4, 2008 at 4:35 am I hardly ever spend any money on myself but have a tendency to spend what I don’t have on others… bad habit Reply Elena says: December 4, 2008 at 5:07 am It makes me terribly nervous to spend money, the larger the sum the more tweaky I get.

Reply Joy says: December 4, 2008 at 6:21 am I’m simply TERRIBLE with money. That’s why Paul takes care of it. I spend now and think later. I can’t even pretend to lie. Reply mssc54 says: December 4, 2008 at 6:28 am Well if you don’t ask my Mrs., I’ll tell you the absolute truth. I don’t spend $ frivously.

He’s a penny pincher…unlike his mom!! Reply Sue says: December 4, 2008 at 10:49 am I think I’m pretty good with money. I take care of what needs to be taken care of and after that if there’s money left I may spend it. HOWEVER, I don’t buy it unless it’s on sale or I think it’s worth while. I impulse buy rarely, but it happens. I can save when I need to, but I do like to shop! Reply Amy Hunter says: December 4, 2008 at 3:54 pm I’m a saver, and I absolutely cannot stand owing money to anyone. I will be one happy woman when my house is paid off someday! Reply Gma says: December 4, 2008 at 5:55 pm I really try to avoid thinking about whether or not I’m good or bad with money. Guess that gives it away, huh? Reply Amber says: December 6, 2008 at 6:36 pm I admit it… I SUCK! I am a saver big time. I always worry that someday Im not going to have money. It probably will never happen, but I always am extremely careful about what I spend. Though for anyone else, Ill spend a fortune! LOL

A place is rooms with carpeted floors A box with windows and paint on the wall. A “home”, on the other hand, Is much more than that. A “home” is pictures, and gifts, and stories from your past. A “home” is the collection of treasures from your children’s younger days. Those things they wanted kept safe When they moved away. A “home” is those stubborn plants that survive! They must want to be with me. They’re still alive! “Home” is a typewriter, an old-fashioned pair of shoes, a harmonica, a magazine rack; things I could never bear to lose. “Home is all those things that I was willing to pack and carry away. Then, quickly take them out, place them around me. And then I realize “Home” never moved away.

I practiced breathing with regular walks in a woods and soothing music during car rides. I wished, with all my might, that things could be different. Still the inevitable was going to happen. It was out of my control. I sit now, in a quiet place, on the other side of the storm, and I’m being told that it’s time to give thanks. Give thanks and then think about what you would really want in your life. Believe that it already exists. Stop any negative noise that tells you different. That will negate the process. So, I did it. I first thought about everything that I am truly thankful for and the list is long. I have my health, a beautiful family, a lovely place to live, enough money to pay the bills, and connections to people whom I truly enjoy. I have everything I need, so this changes what you would think I would request. If I Could Have, In My Life, Anything I Wanted What Would It Be? Turns out it’s not to undo everything that just happened in my most current storm. I do understand that everything happens for a reason and I have to be open and accepting. It also turns out that it’s not money; at least not millions of dollars. I really just want enough money to stay independent. I want enough money to, once in awhile, buy something frivolous. I want enough money so that I can look around me and say with pride “I must have done a good job.” It’s not about wanting the lives of people who have passed to be back. I really have always thought that they never left. I feel their presence in every big event. I feel their arms around me in every crisis. So, Tell Me What You Want, What You Really Really Want! After giving it some serious thought, I realized that what I really want is bigger than all of the above. I want to love and be loved by the people around me. I want to be important in the lives of my kids but not so much that it makes us all dependent on each other. I want to stay healthy and strong because with that strength comes my desire to remain independent. I to be surrounded by people who accept others for being a child of God regardless of their race, sexual orientation, or beliefs. I want, also, surround myself with people who are want to help others. I want to be one of those people too. I want to always be humble. A long time ago, I was told that I was not so special, and for a while, I believed that to be a negative. Now, I agree. I am a small dot in this massive universe. Small dot or not, though, I want to matter. Now, Imagine That You Already Have Everything You Wished For I have read that a person brings energy into their life (either positive or negative) based on what you allow yourself to believe. I want to bring in as much positive energy as I can, so here goes: I believe that I put out love and I am truly loved by others. I am important in the lives of my family but they are not dependent on me. I am healthy and strong. I am independent. I am surrounded by people who accept others for being a child of God regardless of race, sexual orientation, or beliefs. I am surrounded by people who love to help others. I am one of them. I am humble. I do matter. Try It Yourself This was an eye opener for me. Initially, I thought what everyone thinks when asked, “If you could have anything you want, what would it be?” My answer was, “A million dollars.” But by doing this activity, I realized how weak that wish really is. I don’t want or need a million dollars to be happy. I am, instead, truly blessed. And, although I have been put through a storm, it only made me stronger. Every storm tests your resolve and I believe I weathered this one. This has made me ponder what is really important in life. I will continue to remind myself of all that I have to be thankful for and every time I allow a negative thought, I will go back to my thankful list. Negative thinking sinks boats when there’s a storm. So, if you could have anything you want, what would you wish for? Start with thankfulness for all you have, then think again about what else you need to fulfill your life. Then turn them all into positive belief statements. Pretend you already have them. Allow this positive energy to help make all your wishes come true.

Sarah Marie Thompson Ok, I need to play this out. This is the month from hell. Rethinking it as beauty, is today’s challenge to myself. My daughter, her husband, and my grandson are leaving. Sadness Beauty I will no longer take care of my grandson 3 days a week. What a gift it has been to have been allowed to care for him for nearly 2 years. I will miss the time I have spent with this daughter. She was so insistent that I get involved with her passion. So, I spent time volunteering to stuff envelopes, run errands, and help out at events. I was able to be part of the magic that is First Stage, a children’s theater academy. I was able to help my daughter but I ended up feeling like part of a greater family. I worry for my daughter. She has left friends, family, and a job she loved to make this move. I am proud of my daughter. She loves her husband so much. She is, selflessly, turning the spotlight on him right now. That’s true love. And the hardest part of all is that they will all be so far away. Thankfully, there are such things as Face Time now. Video chats can happen every day, if we choose. I am moving too! Sadness Beauty I somehow found myself renting a place that actually faces a nature preserve. This beautiful space has been my meditation space for 3 years. I am moving closer to another daughter. We can easily walk to each other’s place whenever we want to. When I first moved here, the animals that came out of the woods, scared me a bit. Raccoons would peer right into my patio door at night. Now, we have become comfortable with each other. I will miss their visits. I, now, have such a beautiful appreciation for the gentle nature of animals. They have taught me so much about resilience, risk taking, and simply being gentle with myself. Their messages will live with me forever. The paths into the woods were just steps away from my back door. Walking these paths has become a time of true meditation. I have found something that brings me peace when I am troubled. I know, now, that it’s worth a small drive to spend time in such a sanctuary. Why would I leave such a beautiful place? Rent! My income will not increase but the rent goes up each year. That fact makes it too difficult to stay. My rent will go down substantially with this move allowing me the extra cash I will need, now, for airline tickets to visit my other daughter and grandson. You know, I think this worked. Maybe just for the moment but this was a great way to refocus my brain.

Everyday, I Write Journal Entry - July 26, 2015 Part Nine of how Morning Pages(my journal) helped me process through a change. I write. I write. Every day, I write. Yesterday was everything many dream of. A quiet, peaceful day with nothing to do. And I did nothing. Oh well, that’s not exactly true. I cleaned my little home, then went for a walk in the woods. Someone had told me that mosquitos don’t like the smell of vanilla. I had to try that out. Come to find out, it’s true! It’s a little messy, spreading vanilla extract all over yourself and I walked through the woods smelling like a cookie but it really does repel mosquitos! Then, back here to just sit and decide what next. I watched a lot of TV and then got sad thinking about my grandson. If they move away, this will be my life everyday. This quiet, peaceful existence…everyday…BORING!!! I didn’t want to dwell on it. I’m trying to let God handle it. I went to bed early and slept until 5:30 am. It felt great. And now, laying ahead of me, is today. It’s Sunday. Nothing to do. House is clean. Plants watered. Weather beautiful. I’ll walk the woods this morning and maybe again this afternoon. I can’t spend money right now. I need to save for other things. It’s a strange time, right now, in my head. I’m empty of light. I read through other’s posts and I don’t care. I try to think of something to write and I come up dry. Empty. I wanted to be that person who could help guide others to the light. Right now, I think “Find your own way!” I’m in protective mode. I’m waiting for the bomb to drop. I’m working out how I’m going to respond on that day when I hear the words. I’m trying to be ready in case God’s plan is to move them away. Slow, deep breathes…Slow deep breathes. When I walk the summer woods, it’s hot and humid and still. Animals move slowly. Birds sing a little less during the day. I breathe in the oxygen of the leaves and I walk, trying to think of nothing. Then, in pops thoughts of a brother who died homeless, and an ex-husband who took his own life, and I feel guilt. I should have done more, tried harder, been better. I’m alone, right now, maybe because I deserve to be! I need to STOP taking the blame…or the credit for every other person’s journey. I am not that special! Remember? My brother and my ex-husband did as they did of their own accord. To think that I caused it is being pompous. Each of us has our own power to play out our life the way we want. I, right now, have the power to get on with mine! Find other interests, meet other people. But, right now, I don’t want to. Right now I am choosing to be alone. I am choosing this! It is not a punishment. As I chose, yesterday, to sit and watch TV, I will choose today to maybe do the same. We’ll see.

Everyday, I Write Who Would You Call A “Trusted” Friend? Journal Entry - July 23, 2015 Part Seven of how Morning Pages(my journal) helped me process through a change. What are the characteristics of a “trusted” friend? Someone who doesn’t judge Who drops everything to be there when you need them Who feels comfortable sharing with you Who gives advice, gently, but doesn’t criticize if you don’t follow it Someone who can make you laugh through the tears So, why am I writing this? I’ve, once again, pulled out the Animal Spirit Guide Message Cards by Steven D. Farmer. To use these cards, you simply have to shuffle them until you feel ready, then pull one card that seems to call out to you for some reason. All the while, you are thinking “Which animal spirit guide could help me right now?” My card suggested this activity along with thinking about one or more people I would consider to be a “trusted” friend. So, I make this list and think “Who fits this description?” The answer is my oldest daughter; no one else. My sister comes close but, oh, she has so many problems of her own. And, then, I think “Why don’t I have more friends?” In high school, I hung with a small group of girls, part of a pack. Not sure…no, I’m sure, none of them were real friends based on the list above. Then, college – roommates…friends? Well, we got along, if that counts. I was in one’s wedding, another was in mine. But the waters parted when I got a divorce. On to work friends – We shared so much and I thought some were the best friends of my life until I left teaching and became an administrator. Oh no! I drank the kool-aid! Now, friends – Two people I see once a month for lunch. another who swears she’ll reschedule a time to meet after she had to abruptly cancel one…three months ago, and some people at the gym who are friends…at the gym. There’s a neighbor who watches my cat when I’m gone. Does that count? Look at this list? I don’t really have any friends! There is no one, right now, who I can talk to about my life except my daughter. And, she is trying to cope with this change as well along with trying to stay excited about her upcoming wedding and attempting to piece together jobs that might add up to enough money to pay the bills. In other words, everyone has issues, pain that they are dealing with. Life is not easy for anyone. So, going to someone and dumping your problems out to them seems like adding burden to their already weighted shoulders. It reminds me of a time when I asked my brother if maybe he could show me how to hang wallpaper. It was the first time I had ever reached out to him or anyone, really, to ask for help. His answer – “No, I’m already helping too many people.” It seems like, pretty much all of my life I’ve been able to count on one person. That person is me. I will figure this all out. So thanks, Spirit Guide Message Card, but today, I’ll pass on your guidance…unless you can help me find a real “friend”.

I Want To Ask, But I Don’t Want To Know Journal Entry July 21, 2015   Part four of how Morning Pages(my journal)helped me process through a change. I want to ask but I don’t want to know or rather, I’m afraid to know the answer. Are they or are they not moving away? I don’t know. To me no news is good news?!? I feel like I’ve been through this before. Gut aches and tears, right there waiting for those words. Instead, the text yesterday was “Our 12 week appointment went great. All is well. Heartbeat 155. J still think’s it’s a girl. I think it’s a boy.” And I’m happy for them and I want to distance myself from falling in love again. My day with my grandson was wonderful, as usual. He grew over the weekend. Now he walks to the refrigerator and says “Milk”. We spent the day doing little things; going to the construction site, watching a excavator dig a big hole, then swinging at the swing park. He sat in the swing so long that I thought he was ready to sleep. So, I encouraged him to stop (“10 more pushes and then we’re going to stop.”) so we could actually get home for his nap. The ride home woke him up enough that we had time for some lunch and the read several books before his nap. While he napped, I worked on a video of this past weekend. I had uploaded a song hoping it would be allowed. The words were perfect. Let The River Run by Bob Seger I’ve seen the top, I’ve seen the view Lately, I find, not much is new. And there’s always a hill out there beyond Where I could be, where I belong. Some always take, some have to win. They leave you with scars, again and again As they reach for the sky, only to fall, They never change. I’ve seen them all. Let the rivers run, like they always do It’s not up to me. It’s not up to you. When we reach the end, when our time is done Let us all be still while the river runs. Let the rivers run from the great divide. I’ll stay with you . I’ll be by your side. When we reach the end, when the words are done, Let us listen well, while the rivers run. It’s a beautiful , truthfully peaceful song and I couldn’t use it in the video. Copyright infringement. So it’s written here as the message that came to me as I was trying to enjoy the beauty of the weekend that was so hard. When my daughter and her family move, I will go sit by that river. I will listen, well, to the messages that flow off the surface of the water. But for today, I will go back and enjoy that little boy who is growing right before my eyes, and I will “let the river run, as they always do. It’s not up to me. It’s not up to you.

Part Two of how Morning Pages(my journal)helped me process through a change. Searching for a way…to reconcile my feelings with what will, inevitably, happen. I walked my woods looking for a sign. There was the robin, never leaving my path. “Let go of the drama and allow as much joy and laughter into your life as you can.” (S. Farmer, 2006) Dragonflies have been plentiful, as well, and I have been ignoring this part of the message because I felt safe. “Be on the lookout for any falsehoods, deceit, or illusions that are clouding a current situation or relationship.” In the pond, turtles are poking their heads up between crowded lily pads. “At this time, pay particular attention to the shifting sensations in your body, as these are, energetically, resonating with subtle changes in the vibrations of the earth. Get out on the land and walk around at about half your usual pace, using it as a meditation.” Then, the geese. “This is a time of good fortune.” Ah, it doesn’t feel like that, actually. “Call on your ancestors for guidance and protection and once you do you’ll notice a significant increase in your spiritual awareness. Even though it may not always appear to be so, you are very well protected.” Then, I came upon a deer, too suddenly, and scared it a bit. “You’ve been involved in some aggressive, negative circumstances and need to seek out safe, nurturing situations and people.” And, that’s what I did last night. My head hurts from a bit too much wine, but it felt good to listen to the prospective of another (outside eyes). She gave good sound advice even through my tears, of which there were many yesterday. Ok, so here it is again…my daughter and her family are working on a move to North Carolina. Her husband is committed to finding work there and has indeed interviewed, now twice, with a company. My daughter is pregnant with my second grand baby. It doesn’t matter. My other daughter and I have tried so hard to help with their son, giving them opportunities for nights out, even whole weekends for small vacations, not to mention providing weekly childcare so he has never had to deal with the rush of a morning schedule, or leave his home. I think, my daughter wants to go 100%. My other daughter thinks that she has to want this for her husband. She doesn’t have a choice. Still, yesterday, I nearly lost it when I realized that this daughter sought out guidance, from a trusted shaman, on how to deal with ME! I had picked up vibes that something was going on, so I asked her if her husband was interviewing for another job. When she said “yes”, my only response was, “Where, this time.” I stayed quiet. No tears. Still she contacted her shaman. As I reflected on that, further, I did, indeed, feel as though I had become a burden; the one obstacle in the way for their true life. Here, I had been thinking that I was working hard to be a great help. I called my other daughter, sobbing. She helped right my sinking boat for the time being. Yet, still today, I feel old and in the way. But then this daughter calls and says, “Could you come early today. I have a meeting at 8:30.” And, of course, I will be there. My grandson doesn’t know the ache I feel, right now, anticipating lost moments.

Everyone, who knows me, is laughing, like hell, right now! She just called herself an athlete? HA! I was the kid who was picked last for any game in gym class. I’m the one who joined a coed volleyball team, as an adult, and at the end-of-season social gathering, silly prizes were distributed. My prize was a rag; given to me to represent all the time I spent on the floor, ducking to get away from that volleyball. They said, “As long as you’re down there, you might as well keep the floor dry for us.” Later in my life, I bought a bike. I took it for a ride. It was a scenic ride, through a wooded area, but it was totally downhill. I had the brakes on the entire time, gripping them with everything in my being. I have, now, moved the bike to three different homes, but haven’t gotten on it since. More years pass. I get older, weigh more (too much) so I decide to join a gym. Looking back on that early experience, I think that I must have assumed that just being in the gym was exercise enough because this was my routine…I took along my Kindle with my favorite book loaded, propped it up on the treadmill and started to walk, slowly enough so that 1) I could easily read my book and 2) I didn’t sweat. I wasn’t a fan of sweating. Well, needless to say, I never lost any weight or got any stronger. Instead, I grew tired of the trip to the gym just to read a book. So, you must be really wondering, now, why I have chosen this metaphor for myself today. It doesn’t seem to fit…at all! I chose this metaphor because, I think, deep down we all want to be athletes and we want to be winners. This week, watching the NCAA Championship game gave me the opportunity to witness true, driving athleticism. It was a visible display of focus, intent, and power. I could tell that the skill didn’t come from wishes and hopes or weak attempts but, instead, from practice and determination to be the best and then more practice and more determination because you can always be better. In the end, my team didn’t win the game, but, oh yes, they did! They showed thousands of people what being an athlete really means. It means believing that you are a winner. It means, remaining humble and lighthearted when the pressure to succeed grows intense. It means staying focused on one goal at a time. It means never giving up. It means pushing yourself well past the point of tired. And, it means being proud of what you’ve accomplished, even if you don’t hold the “winning” trophy at the end. This team won our hearts. They were, indeed, true winners! I think I’m finding that kind of winner in me! What is your motivator? For me, the motivation, that finely pushed me, was frustration and anger. I was frustrated with the voices that said that I lacked coordination, was too weak, and too old to change. It made me angry when I heard those voices saying that I just needed to accept the fact that getting older means accepting weakness, aches, and pains as normal for my age. Frustration and anger became my motivation to put myself back in the game. Today, I sweat through cardio exercises, push myself through squats, am working on the tightest abs I’ve had since I turned 40 and I lift weights, a little heavier each time. Initially, there was that voice saying, “You can’t do this!” but there was another, more positive voice saying “Yes, you can. Just try.” With a mix of feelings; frustration, surprise, joy…and pain, I realized that sweating can make you smile. Some days, I struggle more than others but that positive voice is there, saying “Just 5 more. You can do it…4, 3, 2…come on “I’ve got you.” And, when I finish, I am ecstatic! And that voice says, “You just burned through another level.” Some days my muscles sing in pure pain but I hear those positive words ringing through loud and clear, “What doesn’t challenge you doesn’t change you.” So, again I smile. That’s why I think that, today, I can call myself an athlete. I’m not a mountain of muscle, but I’m growing stronger every day. I hurt, but so do others, and they still show up with determination and I can too! Some days, I’m slower, but I keep moving. This challenge is not a race. I’m not competing with anyone but me. And what’s most important is that I show up. But, now, it’s about more that physical fitness. I want to be in this big game, called Life! So, I’ve added that to my goal. Pushing through exercises is preparing me to take whatever other burdens are placed on my shoulders and push through it. Life hands out some pretty heavy weights, at times, throwing you off balance, sometimes moving you to tears. But, if an athlete shows determination, focus, and drive, then that’s what I have to do. If an athlete is disappointed, even heartbroken, by a loss, they don’t quit, instead they review the loss for it’s lessons, and go out and play again and again. An athlete says “I am a winner”. A failure one day is just that, a failure one day. They don’t all of a sudden say “I am a failure.” They get up and try again. So, they never really lose. A score on the board (or on the scale) is just a number. I want to be the kind of winner who walks away, in the end, stinking with sweat but so damn proud of how well I played the game. Today, I am a winner. And I will push myself to keep saying that every day for the rest of my life. I must be an athlete! Now, I’d better get up, out of this chair, and go for a walk. And, I should put air in those bicycle tires.

Do you have dreams? Do you keep them packed away in a safe place, waiting for the day, when the time is just right to finally take them out of storage and display them, proudly, for everyone to see? This storage unit is your Dream-Catcher. In it, you do not allow anything bad to take up space. It’s your make-believe life. Your real life is not a Dream-Catcher at all, though. It’s more like a spider’s web. Endlessly, you work. You feel as though your life has the potential to be great but, so often, your work is destroyed by something, outside of your control, of course. You try to fix what you have to make it work but frustration grows and grows. Is there a chance that you will ever have your dream life? You’ve grown tired of building and rebuilding but you are too afraid to leave. What if you leave and find yourself somewhere that’s even worse? It could happen, you know. At least that’s what you tell yourself. What you really want is arms to wrap you up in a cloak of confidence. You want to breathe courage directly into your veins and some kind of super power to take hold of your legs. Instead, you feel trapped, in this web; shivering, scared, and alone. This is how I felt, as I was contemplating leaving yet another marriage. I used the analogy of the Dream-Catcher one year, with my staff. It had been an exceptionally difficult time. I asked them to try to see only the beauty of what had happened that year and let the bad drop on through. I have attempted to do this with my own life but the reality is that, at one time, I was more like a fly, caught in my own spiderweb, instead. I had become the food for someone else’s life. And I did feel trapped. I had, for some time, contemplated an escape but always came back to that fear of “What if someplace else is worse?” I had actually begun to feel that this was my due, karma perhaps, for failing at, yet, another marriage. So, perhaps I needed to just “suck it up” and accept my circumstances as God’s punishment. Then, I found myself on a mountain in Sedona, in the midst of a vortex: referred to as “spiraling, spiritual energy” with an overwhelming feeling that I was supposed to be there, right then, at that exact moment. And during those three days, the lessons just poured into me, all based on Indian lore. Tears flowed and fear nearly consumed me, but one person said this one thing that I held on to for dear life: “Let go. Let God.” And a stillness took over the air around me. The group, that I was with, starting singing “Amazing Grace” and I felt wrapped in protective arms. I felt courage pour into my veins and found a little strength power through my legs and I felt love…for me! I came home from that trip and pulled myself out of that spider’s web. I put it all in God’s hands and God delivered me to the edge of a nature preserve full of beautiful living creatures and then God surrounded me with flowers that bloomed every single day through the hardest months. And my life became a real Dream-Catcher, but I wasn’t dreaming. Fear is the devil. Fear robs you of your life. It consumes you with doubt and hesitation. It buries you in guilt. Fear is an enemy that needs to be fought instead of accepted. I mean, really, if you knew that the devil was knocking at your door, would you open it? Yet, how many times have you, willingly, let that energy sit at the same table with you; drive along side you in the car; walk along side you into interviews; stand with you as you face an audience? The devil is fear and fear drives you to drink, makes you crumble, and leaves you huddled in the corner on the floor. Sometimes, we’re mistaken about the voices we hear and the messages that are trying to come through. As I tried to make my way up that mountain, in Sedona, I thought the devil was the person behind me who was yelling at me to “Keep going, Jane! Push yourself! Trust the power in your legs!” I had told him, over and over again, that my legs were weak. I had just had knee surgery. My balance was shot. He responded “Your life is off balance. Keep moving.” When I finally got off that mountain, he offered me his hand and I yelled at him saying, “You wouldn’t help me when I needed you on that mountain. Why would I take your hand, now, down here on the ground?” (This is a true story!) I had felt like a failure. I had let fear consume me and I stopped half way up that mountain. I sat for three hours with nothing but my own thoughts to keep me company and the real devil played with me the entire time. “Just go home, Jane. Be happy with what you have. It’s the safe place to be.” Then, the person, who I thought to be the devil, came back to me and asked me, “How many people passed you while you sat on the side of the mountain today?” I replied with anger, “No one!” And he calmly said, “Don’t you see, Jane that most people never even try to climb the mountain. They stay on the paths that are flat and safe. You made it higher than any one of them. Do you see that, Jane?” And then, he walked away. Let go. Let God. God did not help me up that mountain. God stood behind me yelling “You can do this!” God said “Be proud. You made it pretty far today, farther than most. Tomorrow will be even better. And I will be right there to yell at you again and push you again, if I have to!” So Dream-Catchers shouldn’t be for pretend dreams; catching things that you fear are out of your reach. Dream-Catchers should catch your real dreams; power, confidence, strength, courage. Then, as the legend of the Dream-Catcher goes, the bad falls through; fear, guilt, intimidation, doubt. If you catch the voice of God, the devil falls through. Listen!

1. In Christopher Nolan’s vastly superior The Prestige, it was revealed that a magic trick consisted of three critical acts: The Pledge (where a magician shows you something ordinary, say an empty box), The Turn (where he creates something extraordinary out of it, like entering the box and disappearing), and The Prestige (where he ups the ante and completely stuns the audience, by suddenly appearing at the very back of the stage). It would be very hard to successfully pull off this kind of magic now given the discerning minds that wanted to know how every trick was done and the countless Unmasking the Magician and Breaking the Magician’s Code episodes. Some of us still wanted to be fooled, though, especially after the enjoyable first Now You See Me movie where The Four Horsemen pulled a literal million dollar stunt. Unfortunately, this sequel stopped trying after reaching The Turn. 2. Similar to watching a magic show, you know that you would have to suspend your disbelief for long stretches of time. You usually check your brain at the door and say goodbye to your Doubting Thomas self as soon as you enter the cinema. There is a limit to this, though, and that limit was completely abused here. The worst sequence had to be the one where they kept throwing a card around while everyone around them (talk about a tight security) barely even noticed. It was elaborately designed to make the audience giddy with excitement and go “Ooooh!” at the end but that scene just flopped and I let out my trademark “Pfft!”. Mas pilit pa siya kesa sa Elmo Magalona and Janella Salvador loveteam tbh. 3. There were still some nifty bits (I particularly liked the sushi plate that turned into an attache case), but when the movie started explaining everything that happened (how the group ended up in Macau, for example) in the middle of the movie (!!!), it was just hard not to roll my eyes. 4. Lizzy Caplan would always be Janis Ian and I wasn’t sure why she was trying to act like Max Black (the broke waitress, not the philosopher) here. Kat Dennings wasn’t available? 5. Woody Harrelson stole every scene that he was in, especially as the curly twin brother who seemed lost in a 60’s time zone. I wouldn’t have complained if the movie focused on them instead of the tragic back story of Mark Ruffalo’s father. 6. I loved the Joy Luck Club film so I was pleasantly surprised to see Auntie Lindo (the wonderful Tsai Chin) being her Auntie Lindo self here. I could actually recite her lines from that movie still complete with her Chinese accent (“See hyeahhh…”). I suddenly remembered my favorite part in the book where another Chinese mother complained to her daughter about their nasty American male neighbor (“He raise his hand like this, show me his ugly fist and call me worst Fukien landlady. I not from Fukien. Hunh! He know nothing!”). Read the book, please! 7. So there’s really a champagne that’s worth $1.2M? Wow! If I owned one, I would probably be taking the smallest sips every other day so that it would last my entire lifetime. (Who am I kidding? I would probably keep it in our cabinet of wines where my mom stored all of my dad’s liquors that were never to be touched. I could swear we still have those Chivas Regal bottles that were placed there in the 80’s.) 8. That final airplane sequence was a complete mess. It was unoriginal, too, since it was first done to Paris Hilton in an Egyptian prank show. Says a lot about the movie, huh? 9. Daniel Radcliffe was looking more and more like the father of Liza Soberano in Dolce Amore. Also, all those years of studying magic in Hogwarts and he was still left clueless in the end. Hermione would be so disappointed. Tsk tsk!

Hey Joon! I feel like you’ve written something about this somewhere before but I’m having trouble finding it. What are some steps to make towards introducing a person to Christ (specifically a friend you’ve talked with about differences in beliefs before)? Thanks! Thank you for this awesome question and for caring about people. We all know this is a scary topic because it’s one of the most uncomfortable parts about the Christian life. When we evangelize, we feel like we’re being “pushy” or “imperialistic” or “narrow-minded,” but at the same time we want to see people saved — and I understand that suffocating discomfort. I think the main thing here is that most of us (and I’m not saying you do this) feel pressured to lay out the Gospel with all the correct doctrine and a perfect balance of fear-filled holiness and sugar-gooey grace. I sense a lot of desperation with guys that not only struggle to evangelize, but also have to get every part of it right. It’s nerve-racking. While I’m all for a clear, complete Gospel, this cannot happen with a three-point systematic outline. It’s too easy to walk up to a stranger, drop a pamphlet in his lap, and tell him, “Think about it.” Again, I’m not saying you’re doing that and there’s probably room for street-preachers and door-to-door witnessing, but even late-night theological conversations are just shortcuts. While a pamphlet or presentation might be technically correct, it doesn’t really show what Jesus is about. To unabashedly quote myself: I know how hard it is to talk about Jesus. It’s the most awkward conversation you’ll ever have. If you even say the whole Gospel out loud right now, it sounds like the craziest thing you’ve ever heard. But the Gospel isn’t some ‘speech’ you unload on people and then ‘leave it in God’s hands.’ Blasting people with theology is like serving icing for dessert. Evangelism is your whole life, it’s sharing your home, it’s enduring patiently, it’s being a human being, it’s availability, it’s sharing Jesus through who you are; not perfectly, but passionately. Yes, invite them to church and to that revival and talk about your faith and your testimony, but once you dare to go there, just know you might be rejected immediately, a lot, and aggressively. Except secretly they can’t deny there must be something to it, because you’re not just a billboard: you’re an overflow of a barely containable supernatural miracle. Real evangelism then is going to be a messy, sloppy outpouring of sharing your heart, passions, experiences, and all your gritty imperfections — in other words, not treating this other person as a project but just sharing life with them and inviting them into your part of God’s story. The second it is bottled up in bullet points, it’s gone. Evangelism has to be more story than theology, more dirt than doctrine, more hands-on than haranguing, more an adventure than a venture. In the quiet of this kind of authentic friendship, eventually you’ll find the space to say, ‘Well when I met Him, I was lifeless doing nothing and so prideful and broken and lost, but He changed everything.’ This is not like selling a benefit-package. It’s as if you’re talking about the first time you met a lover, not a lectern, with a soul-baring depth that isn’t locked down by formula but is underlined by the ongoing presence of Jesus in your own life. The Bible is this way too, and so is Jesus. He never presents doctrine in a mapped-out slideshow, but rather says some things here, does some things there, and brings truth and love in a non-unilateral fashion that paints a whole picture. This is harder than the modern idea of evangelism — but if you really consider it, this is how you and I were introduced to Christ, too. Maybe I sound painfully postmodern. I don’t know. Some people diss a muffins-and-movie evangelism — “Here are muffins and a movie, let me tell you about Jesus” — but I say, let’s include that too. I just know I have never theologized someone towards Jesus. I don’t even really put a whole lot of “thought” into witnessing, to be terribly honest. It has always just been real talk about the Lord, like he was already woven into my own heart, and that’s what comes out. To close: I was at a dinner party recently with a few new friends, all neutral non-believers. We shared life stories. I talked about how much of a jerk I used to be, and still am, and how I was dumb, hopeless, and aimless, but then I met someone who knocked me over and set me right, not in some moral sense, but the way a father unconditionally loves his kids. And I shared the horror of realizing that in some crazy way, life was actually all about this Someone, and the missing-ness we all feel is a big clue that we’re made to be in love with this Person. I didn’t say this all at once or exactly like that, but weaved it in here and there, and I saw eyes light up even if it was only for a moment. I don’t know if I said it all correctly nor if I did a good job, but they did keep asking about Him — and I was more than glad to talk about the one who saved me. — J.S. Share this!

Friends, I’m so incredibly excited and proud to announce that today is the official release date for my illustrated creative journal, FIND YOUR AWESOME! Check out my fun, animated book trailer, made possible by creative mastermind Dillon Wall. It includes illustrations and words taken right from the book. I poured my whole writerly, doodly, love-warrior-self into this book because I believe that if we could learn to love ourselves as ardently and sincerely as we love others, we could change the world. It’s hard to imagine it, but try. Imagine a society of humans comfortable in their own skin, certain of their own worth, confident in their ability to maneuver this world with equal parts badassery and love. It would be dazzling, right? Love, kindness, and empathy would abound. The world needs more love, and all love starts with self-love. I wrote and illustrated FIND YOUR AWESOME not to help people become someone new, but to help them uncover the imaginative, openhearted, amazing selves they already are. I truly believe that if you complete this book, committing yourself to just 30 days of self-discovery and celebration, it will change how you move in the world and infuse your life with love, fun, connection, and creativity. Let’s do it together! On May 15th, I’ll be embarking on my own 30-day self-love challenge using FIND YOUR AWESOME, and I’d love for you to join me. There will be a Facebook group, short daily emails of encouragement, and more animated videos to inspire you. It’ll be free, fun, and good for your soul, plus if you sign up, you’ll be automatically entered to win a signed copy of FIND YOUR AWESOME. (Even if you’ve already purchased my book , sign up. These little journals make wonderful gifts.) Sign up for 30 days of self-love! I’ll be posting more about the book and the challenge over the next several weeks. Leave me a comment if you have any questions. I’m really looking forward to playing with you! xo p.s. You can also win a copy of FIND YOUR AWESOME on Goodreads! Go enter! (And read the reviews. I’m so touched by them.)

Monday saw the turn of the Zetland to stage their meeting at Witton Castle. The ground was on the fast side of good and a huge crowd turned out to view. There was a brace of jockeys in form, including Jack Andrews and Jack Teal, both of whom recorded doubles on the day. Jack Teal rode possibly the most impressive winner of the day when taking the Open Maiden - Financier, a 5yo son of Dubawi and in excess of 17 hands - he looks a useful prospect for the future being a brother to multiple group contenders including Group 1 runner-up and stallion Desideratum. The pair were never far away and was never asked a question until the final fence where Teal asked his mount to quicken and he picked up in nice style to beat Sulamani The Late and Joe Wright who was having his first run for Lucy Horner. His trainer had nothing but praise for the winner who has produced some useful recruits in the past and thinks this one is no different, "We thought he was as good as Supasundae and will go to Goffs May Sale now... he jumps and stays so we thought we'd go down the point route with him. He's got a great pedigree and we really like him!" said trainer Nicky Tinkler who compared him in quality to one of his former recruits Supasundae, who Tinkler produced to win a bumper and has since won the Irish Champion Hurdle. Teal's second winner came in the Intermediate race courtesy of his own Matt's Commision. Always prominent and a touch keen, the pair travelled smoothly to the front approaching two out and after a big leap at the last sprinted clear to win with any amount in hand, second was the longtime leader Stagecoach Jasper and third was Sam's Treasure and John Dawson. Owned by Jackie Teal and Rita Williams, connections are keen to continue with this useful son of Beneficial and it looks likely he can progress well into higher company, "He was keen and picked up really nicely after the last... they don't usually pull like that and keep going. I think he's a very nice horse!" said Teal who trains and operates a small yard in Norton near Malton. The Men's Open saw Battle Range bounce back to form on his favoured quick ground, partnered by Jack Andrews. The pair made smooth headway to lead on the run towards the last and stayed on well to win easily and score, Soleil d'Avril was bouncing back to form for Will Easterby with first time blinkers and some forceful tactics, whilst Another Dark Rum was back in third. The winner was returning from a long absence earlier in the season after leg problems and was Jacqueline Coward's final winner at Hexham. Jack's double was completed with Royal Chant and also completed a double for trainer Cherry Coward, the pair won again in easy fashion to pull clear on the flat and beat Midnight Milly and Christy Furness, whilst Spruce Up was third. The winner made a pleasing debut at the Sinnington and then disappointed at the Bedale, but a return to decent ground has seen a transformation in the son of Royal Anthem, "We were pleased with him at Sinnington but ran no sort of race at Bedale, it was probably too soft and he loves this quicker ground" said Jack Andrews. The Ladies Open was run at a fast and furious pace led by the winner Argot and Amie Waugh, formerly a useful flat recruit and hurdler, the winner scored in a 2 mile hunter chase earlier in the season, the pair scorched a trail from the front and easily stayed on well to fend off Amy Collier and Impact Zone who stayed on in to second, whilst A Country Mile showed something like his old form in third. Trained by Jon Barlow it was a worthwhile visit up to Witton Castle after connections made the 278-mile round trip. The Hunt Members saw a slight upset as Express Du Berlais won for Joe Wright and Lucy Horner, the pair were never far off the pace and held off the odds-on favourite Mistissio and Richard Smith who retired last season but returned for this one ride, there was a gap then back to Dream Flyer and Christy Furness in third.

At Just 4 Kids Pediatric Dentistry and Sedation, our staff works with your child to make exams easier and less intimidating. Our child-friendly, fun atmosphere helps keep him or her relaxed before and during exams and teeth cleanings, making the entire process less stressful for your child… and you. Our staff has special training in working with children and their growing mouths and teeth. Beginning with the first visit to our Pediatric Dentist in Chester VA, we involve your child in the exam, allowing them to look at the instruments used during a checkup and explain what happens during the exam to make it less scary. When to Schedule Dental Exams Your child’s first dental exam at our Pediatric Dentist in Midlothian and Chester VA should be scheduled soon after his or her first tooth erupts and by their first birthday, based on the recommendation of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry. Subsequent appointments should be made every 3-6 months. What Happens During an Exam Your child’s first visit will consist of an exam, fluoride treatment, and if age-appropriate, a teeth cleaning and x-rays. The dentist will check all of your child’s existing teeth for decay, examine his or her bite, gums, and jaw. If needed, the dental staff will clean your child’s teeth. For younger patients, you will be with your child during the visit, and may be asked to hold your child to make he or she more comfortable. Richmond Kid’s Dentist During future exams, the dental team will clean your child’s teeth and monitor the eruption of new teeth and the growth of your child’s jaw and mouth. Fluoride treatments will be administered every 3-6 months as recommended by the AAPD. After every visit, the dental team will meet with you to discuss the condition of your child’s teeth, mouth, gums, and jaw, as well as how to care for your child’s teeth. You should expect to discuss: Good oral hygiene practices, including brushing and flossing, that are age-appropriate for your child Oral habits, such as thumb sucking and lip sucking, and the impact they can have on your child’s teeth and jaw Comfort practices, such as taking a bottle to bed Treatment options, including fluoride and the use of sealants to protect against decay and cavities Developmental milestones and teething Nutrition Your child will begin receiving x-rays around age 3 to monitor the growth of their adult teeth and identify any potential problems. As your child gets older, the dentist will discuss any potential orthodontics or other care required. Older children and teenagers will have the opportunity to talk directly to the dentist about issues that are important to them. These include the need for teenagers to manage their own dental hygiene care and the importance of a healthy diet to dental health. In addition, the dentist will talk to your child about sealants, missing teeth, oral piercings, tobacco use, teeth whitening, and work with them on any restoration or orthodontics that is required during this time.
