Harry's grandmother the Queen accepted the congratulations of a Windsor Castle guest who asked: 'Life is good for Your Majesty?'

The Queen, who was joined by the Duke of Edinburgh, was hosting a lunch on Tuesday for members of the Order of Merit and smiling said in reply 'yes, thank you'.

The infant is believed to be the first mixed-race child born to a senior member of the royal family in centuries and is seen as a reflection of modern Britain with its culturally diverse population.

Following his birth on Monday morning, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's sonis now seventh-in-line to the British throne.

The baby boy comes behind their father Prince Harry in the line of succession, bumping his uncle, the Duke of York, Prince Andrew further down the line into eighth place.

But the child will not be given the title of prince and he will instead be known as the Earl of Dumbarton.

The baby boy is expected to take the surname Sussex for school or nursery in the same way as William and Kate's children, George, Charlotte and Louis, taking 'Cambridge'.

The baby will supersede Andrew in the line of succession, regardless of gender, following a 2011 change in law that granted the same status to sons and daughters.

But as the second son of the current Prince of Wales, Harry's children are not automatically given


the title of prince or princess.

King George V - Harry's great great grandfather - limited titles within the royal family in 1917.

This means Harry and Meghan's first born, as a great-grandchild of the sovereign, is too far down the line of succession to be an HRH.

George V declared that 'the grandchildren of the sons of any such Sovereign in the direct male line (save only the eldest living son of the eldest son of the Prince of Wales) shall have and enjoy in all occasions the style and title enjoyed by the children of Dukes of these Our Realms'.

The eldest son and heir apparent of a duke can use one of his father's lesser grade peerage titles by courtesy, according to Debrett's.

So a first son of Harry's wouldbecome Earl of Dumbarton - one of the subsidiary titles Harry received from the Queen on the morning of his wedding.

A daughter would be Lady (first name) Mountbatten-Windsor, and any subsequent sons Lord (first name) Mounbatten-Windsor.

But the Queen could make changes to allow Harry and Meghan's children to be HRHs and princes and princesses.

Queen's former press secretary blasts Harry and Meghan's decision to give her friend Gayle King's US TV station CBS special access The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were today slammed by Queen's former press spokesman as they unveiled their newborn son in a stage-managed photocall with a camera crew from an American TV station. Harry and Meghan posed for meticulously planned photos at Windsor Castle - inviting a camera from CBS, the network whose morning


show is fronted by the duchess's confidante Gayle King, a guest at her New York baby shower - to join a small media contingent. Playing by their own rules, they seemingly snubbed British and Commonwealth broadcasters, choosing to time the three-minute long conference to correspond with the US breakfast TV shows. The Queen's former press secretary, Dickie Arbiter, was among those who blasted the couple's decision, warning they were 'treading on dodgy ground' by choosing a US broadcaster. While the inclusion of CBS in the media pool was purportedly to allow the pictures to make US Breakfast Shows, Mr Arbiter labelled this 'a fatuous excuse' because syndication deals would have ensured US coverage.

Despite his high-profile birth, Baby Sussex willnot be titled His or Her Royal Highness (HRH) unless the Queen intervenes.

Harry and Meghan's baby boy is not officially a royal, despite being seventh in line to the throne, after George V limited titles within the family during the First World War.

HRH status normally lapses after two royal generations - except for the eldest son of the eldest son of the eldest son of the monarch, which is Prince George.

But the Queen decreed all of William and Kate's children should be HRH - which is why Princess Charlotte is not Lady Charlotte, and Prince Louis is not Lord Louis.

This is why George V's grandchildren the Duke of Gloucester, the Duke of Kent, Prince Michael of Kent and Princess Alexandra are HRH but their children are not.

However, the


rules can be changed if the monarch wishes - so Baby Sussex could still officially become a royal.

Additionally, once Prince Charles becomes King, the baby will automatically become HRH because they will then be the grandchild of a reigning sovereign.

Just seven years ago the Queen changed the rules for the benefit of the children of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, who had yet to start a family at that time.

She decreed all of their children should be HRH, not just Prince George - which gives Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis their royal titles.

Another example is of the two children of the Earl and Countess of Wessex – Lady Louise Mountbatten-Windsor and Viscount Severn – who are both HRH.

They could therefore be called Princess Louise and Prince James,but their parents prefer them not to use their royal titles - and the Queen has agreed.

Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice, the daughters of the Duke and Duchess of York, are both HRH by being children of the Queen's son Prince Andrew.

Why Harry carried his son and what Meghan's 'protective' hair-touching hints about


her parenting style: Body language expert decodes the meanings in the Sussexes' first family outing

By Chloe Morgan for MailOnline

Proud father Prince Harry cradled his two-day-old baby as he introduced him to the world this afternoon, while 'protective' Meghan stood by her men.

The Duchess of Sussex, 37, placed her hand on her husband's right arm and continued to play with her hair before giving her husband a rub on the back during the photo call which took place in St George's Hall.

Body language expert Judi James explained that while the Duke of Sussex was the one holding their baby boy, Meghan gave him 'reassuring touches' throughout.

George Clooney says he hopes treatment of Meghan will be 'kinder' now she is a mother George and Amal had been attending the Catch 22 premier when George spoke out about his friend Meghan American actor George Clooney has said he hopes the Duchess of Sussex will receive 'kinder' treatment' now that she had become a mother. The 58-year-old, who attended the


wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, with his wife Amal, had previously complained that Meghan had been 'pursued and vilified' and had compared her struggles to that of the late Princess of Wales. Clooney, who lives close to the royal couple's new home in Windsor, said he thought that them becoming parents would 'intensify' the scrutiny. He said: 'It's never about the media following you around, because that, in part, if you're a royal, that's part of what you have to do. 'It's the other versions of it - going to interview people's parents, that kind of stuff.' The star, who has denied he will be godfather to the baby, said it starts to 'step into a really dark place'. 'I think people should be a littlekinder. She's a young woman who just had a baby.' The Clooneys have previously holidayed with the Sussexes in Italy, with Amal Clooney having also attended Meghan's luxury baby shower. Advertisement

Speaking exclusively to Femail, she said: 'This was pretty much a first in senior royal baby body language with Meghan standing by her 'two guys' using protective and reassuring touches and signs while Harry cradled the baby throughout.'

The decision for Prince Harry to hold the baby is a stark contrast to Prince William and Kate - as she has been the one to cradle each of their newborns outside the Lindo Wing.

'Harry took his duties seriously and the softening of his facial features as he looked at his new baby formed a very besotted looking 'look of love,'


Judi added.

Throughout the photo call, Meghan could also be seen playing with her hair as well as gently stroking the baby's head.

'Meghan's hair and face-touch rituals suggested some slight anxiety but overall it was her taking the protective leadership role,' explained the expert.

'She even rewarded Harry with a loving pat and back rub as they walked away from the cameras.'

Speaking to FEMAIL, she also pointed out that while the parents looked lovingly at their newborn, the love was still evident between them, too.

'Prince Harry and and Meghan still used some intense eye contact with one another,' she said. 'They're keeping their own loving communications alive while they cooed over the baby.'

Baby Sussex was born early hours on Monday and weighed 7lb 3oz.

Meghan and Harry could not hide theirdelight as they posed for pictures with the tiny infant in the majestic St George's Hall in Windsor Castle, just two days after he was born.

The duchess declared: 'It's magic, it's pretty amazing. I have the two best guys in the world so I'm really happy.'

As her husband held their son, Meghan added: 'He has the sweetest temperament, he's really calm.'

While the couple cooed over their newborn baby, they also gave each other a 'very besotted looking 'look of love,' according to the expert. Pictured, Meghan standing by her 'two guys'

How Harry and Meghan have broken with tradition by waiting two days to unveil their newborn in stage-managed photocall - in stark contrast to William and Kate and Charles and Diana

By Alexander Robertson for MailOnline

The first photograph of a royal baby became not just a British but a global phenomenon in the 20th century, with the world's media and royal fans across the globe ever eager to catch a fleeting glimpse of new prince or princess.

In recent times, senior royals such as the Duchess of Cambridge and Diana, Princess of Wales have all been photographed holding their newborns outside the hospitalswhere they gave birth.

But in what was seen as a break from recent royal procedure, today's photocall took place two days after the birth near Frogmore Cottage, where Meghan has been recovering since Monday alongside her mother Doria Ragland.

While the Duchess of Cambridge faced the media outside the Lindo Wing of St Mary's Hospital a few hours after all three of their children were born, American-born Meghan is said to have considered the idea as archaic.

Her husband Prince Harry was photographed in similar conditions after he came into the world at the private Lindo Wing at 4.20pm, weighing 6lb 14oz, on September 15, 1984.

Harry, now the Duke of Sussex, arrived in the same room at St Mary's Hospital in Paddington, London, where older brother Prince William was born


two years earlier.

The Princess of Wales was in labour for nine hours and the delivery of the baby prince, then third in line to the throne, was said to be uncomplicated.

Charles, who had been at Diana's side, told the waiting crowd that the arrival had been 'much quicker than last time' and his baby son had 'pale blue eyes' and hair of 'a sort of indeterminate colour'.

Speaking to reporters, he described the baby as 'marvellous', adding when asked if he expected a boy: 'No. It doesn't matter what it was as long as it's alright... I couldn't be more delighted.'

The prince had first phoned the Queen, and then Diana's father Earl Spencer, telling him: 'He's a lovely baby.'

Less than 24 hours later, 23-year-oldDiana left hospital as the proud parents showed off their newborn on the steps of the Lindo.

Two-year-old William had been brought in the morning by his father to meet his younger brother.

The newspapers reported how the blond toddler, who was dressed in red shorts, a white shirt with red embroidery, white ankle socks and traditional leather bar shoes, ran down the corridor into Diana's arms as she called his name.

He was said to be 'very, very excited about seeing his new brother'.

One royal aide revealed at the time: 'There was a lot of laughter coming from the princess's bedroom.'

The introduction was judged a success, with William holding baby Harry's hand as he lay in his cot. He reportedly spent 20 minutes there, before being taken home by his


nanny Barbara Barnes, waving to the crowds as he left like a royal pro.

Harry, whose full name was announced as Prince Henry Charles Albert David of Wales, made his first journey in the back of a blue Daimler home to nearby Kensington Palace. Hours later, Charles celebrated the birth with an impromptu drinks party from the back of a Land Rover at Smith's Lawn polo ground in Windsor.

Hours later, Charles celebrated the birth with an impromptu drinks party from the back of a Land Rover at Smith's Lawn polo ground in Windsor.

The princess years later told her biographer Andrew Morton when she collaborated with him on the bombshell book Diana: Her True Story that she had known Harry would be a boy, but not told her husband.

'I knew Harry was going to be a boy because I saw it on the scan. Charles always wanted


a girl... I knew Harry was a boy and I didn't tell him,' she said.

Diana claimed Charles's first comment was, 'Oh God, it's a boy', followed by 'and he's even got red hair'.

The prince's joke was the beginning of the end of their marriage, with Diana recalling: 'Something inside me closed off.'

The prince's biographer Jonathan Dimbleby wrote that following Harry's birth, the couple were living 'within the shell of a normal marriage' and lacked 'intimacy and mutual understanding'.

Dimbleby said that, in the months that followed Harry's birth, Diana continued to suffer from mood swings, distress and paranoia, and that the gulf between husband and wife, who went on to separate in 1992, failed to close.

Royal supporters were delighted to see the strong similarity between royal mother and son

New parents Harry, 34, and Meghan, 37, beamed with pride as they took part in a photo call within St George's Hall in Windsor, near their home at Frogmore Cottage.

Within minutes of the photos being shared, royal supporters from around the world shared their delight on Twitter and Instagram.

Unlike the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Harry and Meghan decided


to eschew the royal tradition of posing for photos with the baby in the hours after the birth in favour of keeping the moment private for family.

However the couple did make plans to introduce their son today and appeared in front of a handful of members of the press.

Harry and Meghan have been enjoying the experience of being new parents at their Frogmore Cottage home near the Queen's Windsor Castle residence.

Family members spoke about the joy of the new arrival with the Duke of Cambridge sayingon Tuesday he was 'obviously thrilled, absolutely thrilled, and obviously looking forward to seeing them in the next few days when things have quietened down'.

He added: 'I'm very pleased and glad to welcome my own brother into the sleep deprivation society that is parenting.'

Harry was at his wife's side during the birth on Monday and he later confessed he had only had a few hours' sleep, suggesting Meghan had spent much of the night in labour.

Kate revealed they had no clues about the baby's name but were eager to see the Sussexes and their new arrival.

She said: 'As William said, we're looking forward to meeting him and finding out what his name's going to be so it's really exciting for both of them and we wish them all

American Legislative Exchange Council –– is funded by major corporations, such as Koch Industries, ExxonMobil and Shell Oil Co. Nationwide, about 2,000 state legislators are members of the conservative policy group, which furnishes them with model bills, including the template for the current measures. ALEC also supplied language for an unsuccessful 1995 federal Sagebrush Rebellion Act that sought to transfer 422,200 square miles to the states.

The first land-transfer efforts began much earlier, in 1929-'30, spurred by anger over grazing fee hikes. Later Sagebrush Rebellion skirmishes, in 1979-'80 and in 1995-'97, forced federal agencies to collaborate more with locals on land management. Now, the Arizona Legislature demands that the feds relinquish some 48,000 square miles, roughly the area of Pennsylvania, by 2014, while Utah asserts ownership of about 47,000Lieu of Taxes, grazing subsidies and mineral royalties. The national treasury also gains from those royalties and other revenues, notes Gregg Cawley, professor of political science at the University of Wyoming and author of Federal Land, Western Anger: The Sagebrush Rebellion and Environmental Politics. Furthermore, federal lands are owned on behalf of all citizens, and Eastern and Midwestern congressional representatives aren't eager to give those lands to Western states.

The land-transfer bills, when paired with recent bills regulating oil and gas development, also point to serious internal conflicts over "local control." State lawmakers tout the importance of giving locals a strong voice in how land is managed, rather than handing down federal dictates. Yet, because they also want to make it easy for industry to operate, they're often reluctant


to cede authority down to the city and county level.

Idaho Gov. Butch Otter, a Republican who often talks about "local control" over natural resources, signed a law in March preventing counties and cities from banning or even regulating oil and gas drilling. While local governments retain some say in zoning and planning, the state's Oil and Gas Conservation Commission has final authority. Colorado has taken a similar stance; two counties tried to pass their own drilling regulations this spring, only to receive a warning letter from the state's attorney general and its oil and gas commission stating that "responsible government requires uniform regulation" at the state level. Counties can hire their own well inspectors and exercise some limited influence over surface impacts like dust and noise, but can'tThe number of wounded who have sought medical treatment in Israel since the Jewish state began accepting wounded Syrians stands at approximately 2,500 people.

In mid-August of this year, a bus from the Jewish-American aid organization Amaliah brought 21 Syrian children and their parents to the Ziv Medical Center in Tzfat. The Syrians are all from the Qunietra region on the other side of the border with Israel. The Western Galilee Medical Center in Nahariya has also been receiving busloads of Syrian children accompanied by their families over the past few weeks.

After hours of treatment, the children and their parents board the bus adorned with a sign in both Hebrew and Arabic bearing the name of the organization, which translates to "Act of God." The children and their parents go back to Syrian territory with aid packages from the organization containing food, baby formula and more in the hopes that they will survive the bloody conflict raging between the regime and its opponents, a war which seems to have no end in sight.

In terms of the organization's long term goals, aid ventures such as packages and facilitating the entrance of children for medical treatment are just the beginning. The organization hopes to eventually establish a "safe zone" near the border where the Syrian army has no presence. The ultimate goal, is ultimately to rebuild civil society in Qunietra, which has been hit hard as a result of the civil war.

Roger Stone has been involved in the political campaigns of Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush, and, of course, Donald Trump. His lobbying firm has represented the regimes of Filipino dictator Ferdinand Marcos and Congolese dictator Mobutu Sese Seko.

Roger Stone is best known for his ability to initiate, agitate and sustain political movements. He was behind the lie that Hillary Clinton has Parkinson's disease. He was behind the false story that Ted Cruz was having five extramarital affairs. He was behind the false claim that Clinton aide, Huma Abedin, was connected to the Muslim Brotherhood.

The family of an 18-year-old woman released after spending three years with 24 hour a day care at the Barrett Adolescent Centre at Wacol wants an urgent public inquiry into the reasons she committed suicide.

The two final patients to leave the former Barratt Adolescent Psychiatric Centre at Wacol when the state government closed it in January have since committed suicide.

Now the family of 18-year-old woman named Talieha wants a public inquiry into the state government’s decision to close the Barrett Centre in January 2014 without providing a replacement adolescent mental health facility.

Talieha – an “arty, expressive wonderful girl” - unsuccessfully tried to take her own life on April 1, before her life support was shut down on April 6.

While the NHS and Brexit top the worries of nearly all demographic groups, those from ABC1 social grades are almost twice as likely to be concerned about Brexit than those from C2DE (59% to 32%). By contrast, concern about the NHS is even across these groups at 47% and 46% respectively.

Concern about housing – which is near to record levels overall – is higher still among those living in cities. Thirty per cent of those living in urban areas (and36% of London residents) see it as one of the biggest issues facing the country. Similarly, those living in rented accommodation are also more likely to name housing as a concern with 27% of this group mentioning it, compared to 19% of owner-occupiers and 22% of the overall population.

So many factors could have knocked the Milwaukee Bucks from the ranks of the undefeated at Fiserv Forum on Saturday.

They were playing the second game of a back-to-back set. They could have overlooked the rebuilding Orlando Magic because of a looming matchup with the unbeaten Toronto Raptors on Monday.

And, scariest of all for Bucks fans, superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo missed a large chunk of the game after taking an elbow to the head from the Magic's Aaron Gordon in the first quarter.

Nonetheless, the Bucks kept on with their winning ways and cruised to a 113-91 victory over the Magic.

Milwaukee improved to 6-0, its best start to a season since the 1971-'72 team won its first seven games.

BOX SCORE:Bucks 113, Magic 91

NBA:Live scoreboard, box scores, standings, statistics

That


sets up an early heavyweight battle in the Eastern Conference with the 6-0 Raptors coming to Fiserv Forum on Monday.

The Bucks will hope they have a healthy Antetokounmpo, who was hit by Gordon's elbow under the basket just a few minutes into the game. He kept playing after a timeout but then later exited the game and went back to the team's training room. He soon made his way back into the game.

"I just got hit in the head," Antetokounmpo said. "I tried to block the shot, I fell down. I don't remember much after that, but I've got to be careful with that because I could have a concussion and stuff.

"We did some tests in the second quarter and then I did some tests in the thirdfourth quarter. He almost immediately scored on a hard drive to the basket.

He scored six points before checking out of the game when the Bucks cleared the bench with under six minutes remaining.

The Bucks, however, did just fine without their MVP candidate. They outscored the Magic, 28-17, in the third quarter.

"(We're) a complete team," said guard Khris Middleton, who scored 18 points. "Giannis is one of the great players in this league. But we still have a great team.

"Guys stepped up. (Ersan Ilyasova) came in, gave us great minutes."

Malcolm Brogdon (16) and Brook Lopez (11) also scored in double figures for a balanced Bucks effort. Ilyasova had just two points but added a team-high 10 rebounds and handed out six assists.

The Bucks also got a big lift from

Editor's note: Fred Broccolo, a 15-year veteran of the fire service, is a firefighter assigned to Squad Company 1 of the City of Norfolk, VA, Department of Fire & Paramedical Services and is a rescue specialist with FEMA Urban Search & Rescue Virginia Task Force 2. His first-person account describes a rescue operation that presented unusual challenges and hazards to emergency responders.

We started our shift on July, 18, 1995, at Norfolk's Squad Company 1 at 7 A.M. Other members of my crew included Captain Loy Senter and Firefighters Bruce Evans and Cliff Poplin, who is assigned to Engine Company 2 but regularly fills in at our station.

Our department operates 14 engine companies, seven ladder companies, two heavy squads, three battalions, onehazmat response unit and 11 advanced life support (ALS) ambulances. The 55-member department covers a 65-square-mile area with a population of 261,000.

It was a hot and humid Tidewater day, with temperatures in the mid- 90s. Senter, being part of the apparatus committee, had scheduled us to attend a training session about a new tower ladder. We arrived at the headquarters station shortly before 8 A.M. and began to inspect the new truck when we heard a large noise coming from downtown. I said it sounded like a collapse. Suddenly, a man ran up to us and reported a collapse at


started to assemble the equipment we would probably need.

Poplin and I made our way up extension ladders to the undamaged side of the second floor. There I met the site foreman, who said some men were trapped in liquid concrete and rebar. I asked him whether anyone could be under the collapse site. He said he didn't think so, but he would take a head count and get back to me. I also asked about the integrity of the second floor. He said it was poured more than two weeks earlier and was in good shape. By looking at the remaining floors and the framework around the third floor, I felt confident that a second collapse was not likely. We climbed a wooden make-shift ladder to the topcutter with portable power plant be sent up, along with the oxyacetylene torch for cutting rebar. At about this time, the rest of the first-alarm companies began arriving. Battalion 1 Chief Bill Syrax assumed command and Senter came up to our location to assume Extrication Sector. Poplin and I, along with members of Engine Company 6, were assessing the trapped men for injuries. Rescue 1 and Rescue 6 brought medical equipment up to the collapse and started staging for the patients they eventually would receive. Because most of the collapse area was liquid concrete, four-foot-by-eight-foot sheets of plywood were used to make a clean platform on which to package the victims.

Once the cutting was underway, the operation began to move smoothly. An oxyacetylene torch that was on site


more time consuming. Because the area from which they were being removed was down inside of the collapse, a raising system was needed. Packaging each victim and securing him in the stokes with an attendant took about 15 minutes. By the time we were ready to move the victims out of the collapse, Evans had joined our company on top. Because he is also a paramedic, it was decided that he would ride down with the victims he could tend to their medical needs and administer morphine if necessary. By 10:30 A.M., all of the victims had been removed to ambulances and on their way to our trauma center. (We later learned that two other workers had sustained minor injuries.

The Magic Mountain

“The greatest danger to Black Mountain College now is not that its legacy will be lost but that its truly radical nature will be forgotten,” writes Mary Emma Harris in the preface to the revised edition of her book on one of the most unusual and influential schools in the United States. It was at Black Mountain College that John Cage staged his first Happening, Merce Cunningham formed his dance company, and Buckminster Fuller built his first dome. Among the faculty were Anni and Josef Albers and Willem de Kooning. Albert Einstein and Carl Jung served on the board of advisers. The students included Francine du Plessix Gray, Robert Rauschenberg, Ray Johnson, and Ben Shahn. Anais Nin, Henry Miller, May Sarton, and Aldous Huxley all


made visits to the school. Admittedly, the College was ephemeral, operating for less than three decades (1933-1957). It was also off the map, located in sparsely populated, unknown Black Mountain, North Carolina, and small, enrolling fewer than 1,200 students over the entire course of its existence.

Yet despite all this, this progressive, non-traditional institution was the starting point for a remarkable and diverse collection of artists who made up the American avant-garde of the 1960s. In the years since its closing, Black Mountain College is often misremembered as a loosely cobbled together experiment, an ill-conceived venture, an anarchist or Communist enclave with little lasting significance. Even the author, a native of the area, had never heard of the school until she was a graduate student at the University ofNorth Carolina at Chapel Hill, 11 years after Black Mountain College closed its doors. Harris decided to investigate further. Years of research and interviews resulted in the original version of the book, published in 1986. Harris continues to serve as principal researcher for the Black Mountain College Project, which seeks to preserve artifacts, release interviews, and publish information about the school for future generations. The revised edition of The Arts at Black Mountain College, with a new foreword, is the definitive history of the artistic component of this enigmatic institution. (With the exception of its final years, Black Mountain College offered a full liberal arts program, but the author focuses on its most notable achievement, bringing the study of fine arts from the fringes to the core of


its curriculum.)

Started in reaction to more traditional schools of the time, Black Mountain College was created when classics professor John Andrew Rice lost his position at Rollins College in Florida due to his controversial, anti-administration ideas. With colleagues from Rollins and elsewhere, he wanted to form a college “based on an idea of community among individuals working and learning together.” While searching for a physical home for this venture, they eventually located a collection of buildings owned by the Blue Ridge Assembly of the Protestant Church in Black Mountain, North Carolina, and the college was born.

Black Mountain College was founded rather idealistically as a school that was to be governed equally by students and faculty, with a self-directed course of study that was free of requirements. Its settingwas rural, and the artistic work produced at Black Mountain differed wildly from that of the Bauhaus, the seminal 20th century school of design in Germany that sought to create a new social order in its rejection of bourgeois architecture for simpler classical forms. Harris proposes that the school was in many ways the spiritual stepchild of the Bauhaus. The two shared in common an experimental educational philosophy that rebelled against academia, coupled with a belief in the social responsibility of the arts and education. In fact, the Bauhaus ended just as Black Mountain was in its initial planning stages. In 1933, the year Rice was dismissed from Rollins College, the Bauhaus was searched by Hitler’s storm troopers and the Berlin police, and subsequently closed. Rice and Dreier


courted Bauhaus instructor Josef Albers, who with his wife Anni, a master weaver, emigrated to the United States, where they became part of the core faculty at Black Mountain.

The college evolved with the times, establishing a mica mine to sell the mineral during World War II, securing GI Bill benefits, and first admitting African-American students in 1944. Its radical nature was often at odds with its surroundings–on off-campus trips, students had to abide by North Carolina’s segregation customs. The residents of nearby Asheville had grown accustomed to sometime residents like Zelda and Scott Fitzgerald, but were not prepared for the influx of the art school students who caused stirs when they showed up in town. Although most students and teachers left for larger cities in the late fifties,the lasting influence of the college is still felt in Black Mountain and Asheville, an area with a less innovative but thriving arts community that continually pops up on national lists of desirable, liberal, and gay/lesbian-friendly places to live.

In later years, faculty and student interest in the community farm, and in taking part in school administration and maintenance began to wane. A few efforts to adopt a more traditional structure failed as well, at odds with the school’s core notions of academic and creative freedom. At the same time newly appointed rector-poet and unorthodox scholar Charles Olson had other ideas, completely abandoning academics in favor of a wholly fine arts curriculum. With GI benefits all but disappearing, Olson continued to propose new fundraising schemes even in the college’s


darkest days. But the conservative atmosphere of the early fifties made it almost impossible for experimental education to exist financially. Slowly, the school’s assets were sold off, and as faculty and students began to leave for art scenes in San Francisco and New York, Olson was directed to begin the process of closing Black Mountain College forever, with all programs ceasing in March 1957 and a final issue of the Black Mountain Review published in the fall of that year.

As Harris tells it, the story of Black Mountain College encompasses some of the most crucial lifelong issues confronting the working artist: The need for community support and involvement versus the need for solitude in order to create and produce work; the importance of artistic friendships, as well asjobs such as shoveling coal and building the log cabin dormitories. This sort of intimacy proved both enriching and counterproductive. Numerous friendships that made a critical impact or resulted in artistic collaboration were first formed at Black Mountain. Here, Robert Motherwell met artist/social realist Ben Shahn. John Cage began to work with Ray Johnson, the painter who would later become famous for the mail art he produced as part of the New York Correspondence School. Robert Creeley and Charles Olson published the Black Mountain Review, working with connections between writing and visual images.

Personalities clashed at Black Mountain, too. Harris is a documentarian, not a gossip, and her unbiased faithfulness to every detail of the “process” that was Black Mountain can make for tedious reading at times. But she


objectively and humorously depicts the various artistic temperaments present at the school. These included characters like Jean Varda, the Greek-born artist who first arrived to teach in a Model A convertible he’d painted magenta and orange and driven cross-country on three spare tires. He tossed packages of loudly colored Rit dye in a washing machine to dye the shirts he wore open to the waist. In contrast to Josef Albers, to whom students “prayed, knelt beseechingly before the great god of capital A-R-T,” Varda was a breath of fresh and flamboyant air. Literature instructor Ed Dahlberg, Harris recounts, fled home to New York after a mere two weeks at the college. John Rice had described him as a “vague” lecturer, and Anni Albers “sensed the seeds of discontentlarger lesson of Black Mountain is about the elusive aspects of art that cannot be taught in a classroom–making necessary decisions and sacrifices in order to work, forming connections and friendships with other artists, and most importantly, actually doing the work once formal education has ended. Black Mountain College removed the mystery of making art, allowing its students to witness the daily, often very mundane struggle to produce work. Of course, this arrangement in many ways made the struggle even harder for artists who were used to their privacy. As Harris notes, the more solitary artists in fact produced their best and most famous works away from Black Mountain: Josef Albers’ Graphic Tectonics and Variations on a Theme series, Olson’s “Special View of History” and “New Sciences of


Man,” for instance. Some of the major hallmarks of Black Mountain College–the Merce Cunningham dance company, John Cage’s seminal performance piece that became known as the first “Happening,” and Fuller’s dome–were actually collaborative works.

“It was a unique and vital experiment that occurred at a particular time in American history,” Harris maintains. Following the initial publication of this book, an attempt was made to re-form the Black Mountain College. Although the new college was built from the same elements as the first–a lack of grades, a famous faculty, a farm, a work program–the new school quickly failed. Harris unfortunately does not venture to explain the specifics of the demise of the second college, offering only the detailed story of the first as an example. Perhaps the new founders wereimpatient with the lack of immediate success, perhaps there were financial or administrative problems that were not foreseen; in any case, the elements did not produce the same vibrant atmosphere of the first school. Black Mountain helped bring about ideals of interdisciplinary learning, the integration of the study of fine arts, farm and work programs that are used in several American colleges today, and even Warren Wilson College in the same area of North Carolina. Yet today’s art schools tend to be more career oriented and it would be difficult to find a group of artists of the same caliber as the Black Mountain faculty who are willing to sacrifice a good deal of their private working lives for the sake of education. Although the original Black Mountain


was certainly no educational utopia, it succeeded for as long as it did in large part because of the historical events surrounding its creation–the years following the Great Depression, the onset of World War II–and the way in which the faculty and students responded to these changes in the postwar years. As the author concludes, Black Mountain College was not a formula that can be easily copied; rather it was an ongoing process of decision making and experimentation. Her book is a valuable resource for its record of this process and its perspective on an ephemeral time and place.

Furthermore, in 2017 the club completed a state-of-the-art training centre, and, though owned by the municipality, plays out of Allianz Riviera – a stadium built in 2013 – which holds roughly 36,000.

Gov. Tom Wolf on Monday afternoon signed into law a pension bill that will change the retirement savings plans for future state government and public school employees hired in 2019 and after.

The plans move away from the current guaranteed pension system that public employees in Pennsylvania participated in for about a century, and to one that includes in part or in whole a 401(k)-style plan that many in the private sector have. Employees will have three retirement savings options from which to choose but once a decision is made, it's final.

Trump is said to want a sit-down meeting and not merely the usual hallway tête-à-tête, which concerns his aides because of the president's weakness for authoritarian leaders like President Xi Jinping of China and King Salman of Saudia Arabia, who are mere amateurs compared to the masterful Putin.

The Trump-Putin meeting comes at a pivotal time in the growing Russian scandal.

As the first concrete evidence of collusion between the Trump presidential campaign and Russian hackers emerges, you would expect Trump to put as much distance between himself and the wily Putin as possible, if not call Russia out on its interference in the election, but Trump is nothing if not reliably irrational, and seems increasingly incapable of communicating outside the framework of 140 exclamation point-laced characters.

Unfortunately for Trump


that?If you try to curry favor, offer concessions, pulls back on the pressure, he'll take advantage. He'll see weakness in a vacuum.

The state of U.S.-Russian relations is at an extraordinary turn.Never in the 70-plus years since the end of World War II has an American president or vice president met with a Soviet or Russian leader in such a weakened state.

Recall Nixon standing down Krushchev in Moscow in the so-called 1959 Kitchen Debate, JFK speaking his mind with Krushchev in Vienna in 1961, the LBJ-Kosygin rapprochement in Glassboro in 1967, Nixon and Kosygin signing the first SALT Treaty in Moscow in 1972, Ford and Brezhnev agreeing to the Helsinki Accords in Finland in 1975, and Reagan facing down Gorbachev during a series of meetings in the 1980s.

As FredKaplan notes at Slate, many of the more than a dozen treaties negotiated and signed over the Cold War years that capped or reduced nuclear weapons were token stand-ins for diplomacy because it was politically impossible to talk about deeper fissures, but they also were opportunities to step back from the brink.

Yet despite its annexation of Crimea, support of Syrian strongman Bashar al-Assad, indifference to North Korea's bellicosity and U.S. election interference, Russia is in its strongest position since the end of the Cold War while the U.S. is at its weakest because of an apprentice president who can't even get his stories straight about the man he owes his job to, let alone form a coherent sentence or formulate a policy.

Will Trump blink when he and Putin


lock eyes for the first time? Next question, please.

Massive production plants have been forced to shutter after workers have been diagnosed with COVID-19, causing further supply chain problems.

In the meat industry, Smithfield Foods closed a South Dakota plant that supplies up to 5% of all pork in the US after more than 290 workers were diagnosed with COVID-19. Other major meat processors, including JBS USA, Tyson, and Cargill, have also closed down plants after employees caught the coronavirus.

Closed plants and a loss of buyers mean that stores are dealing with shortages as farmers face an excess of food. Retailers like Costco and Walmart have limited how much milk and toilet paper customers can buy, even when producers are dealing with a massive excess of inventory.

Colts fans may not know that retired linebacker and Super Bowl champion Gary Brackett once worked as dish washer in a New Jersey restaurant.

"It was the bottom of the barrel," Brackett said of his first job as a teenager. "But you learned a lot. We made the most of it. An honest day's pay for an honest day's work. I've never been afraid of hard work."

Brackett now finds himself on the other end of the restaurant spectrum. He's the owner of Georgia Reese's Southern Table & Bar, a start-up soul food spot scheduled to open in August.

The football star spoke by phone Monday from the restaurant site, 3454 W. 86th St., where renovations are underway at the former home of an Outback Steakhouse in the Pyramid Place


Shoppes.

Brackett said he wants to bring Indianapolis a first-rate supper club that serves tender oyster stew, smoked chicken wings, quinoa and sweet potato timbale and other Southern menu items.

"I felt we never had an upscale restaurant where you could go and still get the good, old home cooking that soul food provides you," he said.

Indianapolis currently is home to soul food restaurants such as Kountry Kitchen, Maxine's Chicken & Waffles, His Place Eatery and Mississippi Belle.

Brackett said Georgia Reese's will distinguish itself by presenting live music on weekends, including during Sunday brunch.

The restaurant's name is inspired by Brackett's 9-month-old daughter, Georgia Reese Brackett.

He considered the name of his older daughter, Gabrielle, but that moniker was deemed as "not quite Southern enough" by his wife, Ragan, and friends. Garyand Ragan also are parents to Gary Jr.

" 'Georgia Reese' definitely hits home and resonates with a lot of people," Gary said. "It obviously holds a special place in my heart."

Bradley Phelps will serve as general manager for the restaurant, while Dwight Simmons will be the executive chef. Phelps' resume includes work at Harry & Izzy's, Columbia Club and Hillcrest Country Club. Simmons owns Indy Star Chefs Culinary Services.

Brackett's restaurant experience includes his investment and partnership in two Stacked Pickle bar and grill locations in Central Indiana. He said he looked into chain restaurant possibilities before founding Georgia Reese's.

"With an independent, you have more control over your restaurant and what you do inside your four walls," Brackett said.

Thursday, 25 February 2010

It is becoming increasingly common for people to purchase prescription medicines through the internet, but this can be dangerous, according to University of Otago academics Dr Clare Strachan and Professor Pauline Norris.

Their comments follow an analysis of samples of medicines by a team of fourth-year pharmacy students from the University of Otago and staff and students from the School of Pharmacy at the University of Auckland. The medicines had been intercepted at the New Zealand border by Medsafe border control staff.

The students analysed the contents of two of the most commonly purchased medicines on the internet, including tadalafil (for erectile dysfunction) and sibutramine (for weight loss). They found some tablets were misshapen and others were mouldy.

Malaysia: Missing flight crashed in Indian Ocean

In this photo released by China's Xinhua news agency, a Chinese IL-76 plane searching for the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 returns to Perth airport, Australia after a hunting sortie, Monday, March 24, 2014. A Chinese plane on Monday spotted two white, square-shaped objects in an area identified by satellite imagery as containing possible debris from the missing Malaysian airliner, while the United States separately prepared to send a specialized device that can locate black boxes. The crew aboard an IL-76 plane sighted the object in the southern Indian Ocean and reported the coordinates to the Australian command center, which is coordinating the multinational search, as well as the Chinese icebreaker Snow Dragon, which is en route to the area, China's XinhuaNews Agency reported.

The news is a major breakthrough in the unprecedented two-week struggle to find out what happened to Flight 370, which disappeared shortly after takeoff from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 passengers and crew aboard on March 8.

Dressed in a black suit, Najib announced the news in a brief statement to reporters late Monday night, saying the information was based on an unprecedented analysis of satellite data from Inmarsat.

He said the data indicated the plane flew "to a remote location, far from any possible landing sites."

"It is therefore with deep sadness and regret that I must inform you that, according to this new data, Flight MH370 ended in the southern Indian Ocean."

He said Malaysia Airlines has informed the families of passengers of the plane's fate.

Selamat Omar,


the father of a 29-year-old aviation engineer who was on the flight, said some members of families of other passengers broke down in tears at the news.

"We accept the news of the tragedy. It is fate," Selamat told The Associated Press in Kuala Lumpur.

Selamat said the airline hasn't told the families yet whether they will be taken to Australia, which is coordinating the search for the plane. He said they expect more details Tuesday.

Bangladesh beat New Zealand by five wickets in their Champions Trophy match.

Bangladesh rode on a record partnership by centurions Shakib Al-Hasan and Mahmadullah to defeat New Zealand by five wickets in their Group A match at the Champions Trophy cricket tournament here on Friday.

Needing 266 runs for the win, Bangladesh were off a nightmarish start, losing their entire top order by the 12th over.

But Shakib and Mahmadullah then joined forces to add 224 runs between them in 209 balls and snatch victory from what seemed at one point to be also certain defeat.

Shakib scored 114 runs from 115 deliveries, hitting 11 boundaries and a six during his stay in the middle.

Mahmadullah remained unbeaten on 102 runs off 107 balls with eight hits to the fence and two sixes.

This


is the highest ever partnership for Bangladesh. The previous highest was a stand of 148 runs off 140 balls by Mushfiqur Rahim and Shakib Al-Hasan against New Zealand in Chitagong in 2014.

By the time Shakib was bowled in the 47th over by an excellent yorker by Trent Boult, Bangladesh were on the verge of victory as they needed just nine runs from 21 deliveries.

Mosaddek Hossain then joined Mahmadullah in the middle to see Bangladesh through to victory.

The team from South Asia crossed the line in 47.2 overs.

Friday's result has given Bangladesh to qualify for the semi-finals. They finish their group engagements with three points from as many matches.

They suffered an eight-wicket in the tournament opener against hosts England. They then earned one point from their washed out secondgame against Australia.

If England manage to defeat Australia in the final game of Group A on Saturday, then Bangladesh will go through to the knockout stage along with the hosts. Australia have been extremely unlucky as they have notched up only two points so far as both their matches were abandoned due to rain.

The Kiwis on the hand will have to catch the new flight back to New Zealand. They finish a poor campaign with a single from three matches.

Boasting a power-packed line-up of fast bowlers, the Kiwis were expected to do well in the swing friendly English conditions. But their bowling showed surprising lack of bite on Friday despite some early promise.

They earned their only point from their abandoned campaign opener against Australia before going down by


87 runs to England.

New Zealand fast bowler Tim Southee knocked the wind out of the Bangladesh batting in the early stages of the chase by picking up three wickets in his opening three overs.

With Bangladesh struggling at 12/3 in the fifth over, Shakib and Mushfiqur Rahim 21 runs between them before the Kiwi pacer Adam Milne found the gap between the bat and pad of the latter.

That was the only bit of celebration the New Zealand players will manage on the day as Shakib and Mahmadullah got down to business.

Southee was the standout performer in a rather poor bowling effort by the Kiwis with figures of 3/ in nine overs.

Earlier, New Zealand posted 265/8 after electing to bat first at the Sophia Gardens.

Skipper Kane Williamson (57) and Veteranbatsman Ross Taylor (63) were the major contributors for the New Zealand cause.

New Zealand got off to a good start as openers Martin Guptill (33) and Luke Ronchi (16) forged a 46-run partnership before Ronchi was caught by Mustafizur Rahman off pacer Taskin Ahmed in the eighth over.

Soon, Martin Guptill was sent packing in the 13th over by speedster Rubel Hossain. Guptill, who faced 35 balls and slammed four boundaries and one six, was adjudged leg before wicket.

Middle-order batsmen Williamson and Taylor then added 83 for the third wicket to stabilise the innings. But just when it seemed good, Williamson was run out by Shakib Al Hasan. Williamson hit four boundaries in his 69-ball knock.

Incoming batsman Niel Broom (36) then added 49 runs in 8.4 overs with Taylor

Seeking power for the fourth time in Orissa, Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik faces one of the toughest elections of his career. As 10 of the 21 Lok Sabha seats and 70 of the 147 assembly seats in the state go to polls on April 10 — and the rest on April 17 — the BJP, riding on Narendra Modi’s popularity, is on the upswing in western Orissa.

Anti-incumbency, and the fact that Pyari Mohan Mohapatra is no longer with him, has made Naveen’s task tougher.

BJD insiders estimate they will be lucky to win 85-90 seats in the assembly, far fewer than the 120-plus


projected until a couple of months ago, and fewer than even the 103 the party won last time. Holding on to the 14 Lok Sabha seats may prove difficult too.

State BJP president K V Singhdeo is confident of doing far better than in 2009, when the party won six assembly seats and was blanked in the Lok Sabha polls. The Congress won 6 seats in Lok Sabha and 27 in the assembly. It may lose its main opposition status to the BJP in the assembly this time.

The tight spot the BJD is in is indicated by Naveen’s punishing schedule over the last two weeks, travelling all over southern, coastal and western Orissa. His meetings in several western Orissa districts have been thinly attended.

Naveen dropped 35 sitting MLAs, includingThe chairman of Yahoo's board of directors has stepped down from that position and will leave the board entirely later this year, Yahoo said Thursday.

Marcos Rojo: Argentina star wanted by United

Manchester United are continuing talks with Sporting Lisbon over a deal to sign Marcos Rojo, according to Sky sources.

United are unwilling to increase their bid of £16million for the Argentina defender, with reports in Portugal suggesting Sporting may accept that amount if a United player goes in the opposite direction on loan.

Sources suggest Rojo is unlikely to play for Sporting again. He was suspended by the club after refusing to train last week, and missed the club's league match on Saturday.

Rojo is now expected to make the move to Old Trafford but if the deal does fall through, United will turn their attention to Stuttgart's Antonio Rudiger.

Sporting have been holding out for more for Rojo as they only own 25 per centa county jail for a period of not more than one year.

People are sharing terrifying footage of their commutes in the fiery hellscape around Los Angeles

A truck drives along the 101 Freeway as a wildfire continues to burn Tuesday, Dec. 5, 2017, in Ventura, Calif. Raked by ferocious Santa Ana winds, explosive wildfires northwest of Los Angeles and in the city's foothills burned a psychiatric hospital and scores of homes and other structures Tuesday and forced the evacuation of tens of thousands of people.AP Photo/Jae C. HongIt was not a normal commute for drivers on the 405 freeway in Los Angeles on Wednesday morning.

In the hours before sunrise, wildfire embers fueled by strong Santa Ana winds shot up into the air above traffic, creating a fiery hellscape that heated drivers' windows and temporarily shut down the interstate. Early Wednesdaymorning, both sides of the freeway had to be shut down, but the southbound 405 was later re-opened.

The National Weather Service and local firefighters say conditions could worsen before things get better, since the windy days are expected to last until at least Saturday. A roughly 300-mile stretch of California, from the Mexican border up to Santa Maria, is on alert.

The southern California fires come just two months after northern California was hit with its deadliest spate of wildfires on record. The governor has yet again declared a state of emergency as nearly 200,000 people have been forced to evacuate.

Here's what people were sharing.

Cristiano Ronaldo's departure from Manchester United 10 years ago sent shockwaves around the world - and it also left an indelible stain on the Red Devils' famous No 7 shirt.

The Portuguese superstar, who has now won five Champions League titles and five Balon d'Ors, scored 84 goals from 196 chapter during his six-year stay at Old Trafford.

But since he departed for Real Madrid, those following in his foot-steps - and those of legends such as George Best, Bryan Robson, David Beckham and Eric Cantona - have only managed to cobble together 15 goals between them.

Alexis Sanchez has scored three soa right-winger replacement for Ronaldo in 2009 but switched from the No 25 shirt to No 7 for the 2012-13 season. He could only chip in with one goal from 30 appearances.

He was only two worse off than Angel Di Maria, who assumed the shirt a year later following a £59.7million switch.

Antonio Valencia scored once while wearing the No 7 shirt before switching back to No 25

Angel Di Maria was another flop, scoring just two league goals following a £59m move

Michael Owen had the best return for a No 7, scoring six goals from his 31 league apperances

Di Maria was followed by another flop, Memphis Depay, who scored twice from 29 appearances during the 2015-16 season before leaving for Lyon.

Incumbent No 7 Alexis Sanchez continued the miserable trend,


having so far notched an abysmal three goals from one-and-a-half seasons in the north west.

It is widely expected that Sanchez, who earns a whopping £500,000 per week at Old Trafford, will be moved on this summer after failing to live up to expectations since signing from Arsenal.

His departure will leave the No 7 jersey available once again, and incoming talent may well be wary of jumping into Ronaldo's old shirt.normal A person suffering from osteoporosis loses a greater proportional amount of trabecular bone than cortical bone Common manifestations of osteoporosis are a hunched back, caused by crush fractures of the vertebrae, and fractures of the neck, the femur (upper thigh bone) and distal end of the radius (wrist bone).

Because osteoporosis develops progressively, early diagnosis and appropriate treatment may turn an otherwise serious onslaught Additionally, because of the mode by which bone is formed, an enhanced exercise regimen during the patient's younger years, coupled with an appropriate diet, has been thought to also minimize the effects of the condition.

gained momentum in 2005 after the Kyoto Protocol took effect. Before the Protocol entered into force, investors considered this a key risk factor. The initial years of operation yielded fewer CDM credits than supporters had hoped for, as parties did not provide sufficient funding to the EB, which left it understaffed.

The Adaptation Fund was established to finance concrete adaptation projects and programmes in developing countries that are parties to the Kyoto Protocol. The Fund is to be financed with a share of proceeds from clean development mechanism (CDM) project activities and receive funds from other sources.

Outline
An industrialised country that wishes to get credits from a CDM project must obtain the consent of the developing country hosting the project and their agreement that the project will contributeThese are geared more towards the most advanced developing countries, and do not work well for the projects most often found in LDCs.

Views on the CDM

Additionality

Emissions

One of the difficulties of the CDM is in judging whether or not projects truly make additional savings in GHG emissions (Carbon Trust, 2009, p. 54-56). The baseline which is used in making this comparison is not observable. According to the Carbon Trust (2009), some projects have been clearly additional: the fitting of equipment to remove HFCs and N2O. Some low-carbon electricity supply projects were also thought to have displaced coal-powered generation. Carbon Trust (2009) reviewed some approved projects. In their view, some of these projects had debatable points in their additionality assessments. They compared establishing additionality to the balance of evidence in a

Reasons for including avoided deforestation projects in the CDM

Combating global warming has broadly two components: decreasing the release of greenhouse gases and sequestering greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. Greenhouse gas emitters, such as coal-fired power plants, are known as "sources", and places where carbon and other greenhouse gases, such as methane, can be sequestered, i.e. kept out of the atmosphere, are known as "sinks".

The world's forests, particularly rain forests, are important carbon sinks, both because of their uptake of CO2 through photosynthesis and because of the amount of carbonBaron Zen

the word 'lel' meaning white. A similar naming convention is found in the name Koitalel, where koita means stone. However, when used to denote the supreme being the prefix does not denote a female supreme being. Rather it is associated with one aspect, that of creation and prosperity of life as opposed to the masculine which was associated with destruction.

It has also been postulated that the name derives from a Sudanic name for the sun 'Tel', as of Chee-po-Tel or Tie-po-Tel, thus the girl of Tel i.e. She of the Sun.

Life
There is little in the legend about Cheptalel's background though certain aspects of her early life appear in all traditions. Notably, she is understood to have been a virgin and in some accounts the only childthe name as a name for God. The name remains in common use today.

Kumir, Chapter 13: The Winnings

Jane carefully coiled and packed her rope back into her case as a few Incubiker women cleaned up after the party. The silver gossamer dress was casually wrapped like a sarong around her waist, and the other women cast surreptitious glances of hostility and lust at her casual nudity. Jane ignored them, enjoying the relative peace of the room now that the IncuBikers had gone off to deal with the truck camera. Georgia had smiled dreamily as her friend Ophelia had led her away, and Jane had returned the smile until her beautiful partner had left the room, the imprints of knots and spiraled rope like tiny fossils of pleasure all across her dark skin. Ophelia hadn’t said a word to Jane but hadElsie past Jane, but never looked up. As the door closed behind them, she finally allowed a small frown and shook her head. “Lambs and wolves…”

She started humming softly as she ran the lengths of rope through her hands, fingers expertly checking for imperfections or weak points. She smiled as her hands came to a slick section of rope, dark with Georgia’s cum, and she carefully coiled it into a plastic bag to be washed later. When the final rope had been inspected and wrapped she snapped the case shut and put her rings back on, the onyx on the left and the a pale blue chalcedony stone on her right.

She stood and looked around the deserted clubhouse thoughtfully. A gold-painted door was unobtrusively set into the back


of the hall between an old Playboy calendar and a trio of hubcaps. Jane didn’t remember any guards near the door during the evening, but there had always been an IncuBiker sitting somewhere nearby, even during the contest and other entertainments. She walked over to it and examined the large industrial steel lock over the doorknob. She pushed experimentally. It was solid.

Still humming softly she glanced around to make sure she was alone. Jane lifted her hands in fists and touched her rings together. The black and pale blue stones made a soft click and the blue one began to glow, throwing an electric shine over Jane’s face as it brightened. The smell of ozone filled the air, and Jane slowly pulled the rings apart. The onyx stonewas softening, sticking to the electric blue chalcedony, elongating like a dark taffy as she pulled . When the string of black tar finally tapered into a point, Jane gave a little snap to her right wrist and the rings separated. The blue one slowly faded. The black ring now had a long spike about five inches long stretching out from it. The tiny pointed tip waved like a tiny tentacle as if looking for something.

“Here you go, baby,” Jane crooned, in a voice much like the one that had seduced Georgia. She pushed the spike into the keyhole and whispered “Now grow for me!” A moment later she was rewarded with a solid click as the lock turned. The door slid open on silent oiled hinges, revealing


a staircase going up.

Jane leaned forward and blew slightly on the ring, giving her wrist a little shake at the same time. The black pseudopod snapped off and dissolved with a tiny puff of black dust that disappeared into the grimy floor. Jane picked up her rope kit and started up.

The short passage opened into a small but luxuriously appointed loft space, with European styled furniture that was completely out of character with the biker stereotype downstairs. Jane shook her head a few times to adjust to the clean, and efficient lines of bright chrome and light polished wood. A pedestal bed with lustrous thick blankets and large pillows was the main focus, with an elegant leather couch facing a fireplace off to the side. Jane glanced upand gave an appreciative whistle as she saw the large screen inset in the ceiling, and she suspected the room was wired with a sophisticated but hidden sound system. On one side of the bed there was a small shelf filled with a few dozen well-worn books.

Jane resisted the urge to look through them, moving to the opposite side where a dresser topped by a large oval mirror was lit with theatre-style lights. There was a picture of Michael smiling and posing with a motorcycle taped to the upper left. As she passed the corner of the bed Jane froze, realizing that what she’d taken for a wall was actually a clever door, slightly ajar. The sound of a shower running came through the crack.

Jane stood there for
