Whelan began intense professional training at the Louisville Ballet Academy. She was accepted to the summer program of the School of American Ballet at age 14; a year later, she moved to New York to continue her studies there full-time. In 1984, she was named an apprentice with New York City Ballet and joined the corps de ballet a year later.

Ms. Whelan has been a guest artist all over the world. She received the Dance Magazine Award in 2007, and in 2009 was given a Doctorate of Arts, honoris causa, from Bellarmine University. In 2011, she received both The Jerome Robbins Award and a Bessie Award for her Sustained Achievement in Performance.Since 2013, she has been developing and touring her own independent projects. Her inaugural project, Restless Creature broke down boundaries between interdisciplinary dance forms.

Victorian Pride Centre making history with the Australian Lesbian and Gay Archives
23 April 2020 Community, News
The Victorian Pride Centre has announced that the Australian Lesbian and Gay Archives (ALGA) have accepted their ceremonial key as the next LGBTIQ community organisation to sign a tenancy for the Pride Centre.
Due to physical distancing, Victorian Pride Centre Chair Jude Munro AO made the announcement from home and remarked on the incredible work that ALGA have done and continue to do in order to document the important and ever changing history of our community. ALGA virtually accepted their key to the centre during a recent online team meeting.
“ALGA have been around for 42 years now, collecting and compiling Australia’s LGBTIQ history and exhibiting it in order to educate our community about where we’ve come from,” said Jude Munro AO. “This is such crucial work and in the space of time that ALGA have been procuring our community’s history, we’ve seen much hard work and progress which could’ve easily been forgotten.”
ALGA holds the most significant collection of historical material about LGBTIQ communities in Australia and the move of the organisation to the Centre enables ALGA to continue to effectively manage, maintain and grow the collection, enable broader access and also presents opportunities to further highlight this rich collection.
“We are excited to be moving to the Victorian Pride Centre to further provide our communities with a place to engage with and celebrate our very queer histories,” said Angela Bailey, ALGA Board Chair.
With the external structure of the Victorian Pride Centre complete, this state of the art building will soon be an effervescent community hub and safe space for the entire LGBTIQ community. In turn providing further opportunity for ALGA to document our shared and personal LGBTIQ memoirs. For more information, visit: www.pridecentre.org.au for details.

Do you believe that Births can bring people together when they have fallen a part ?
Definitely! I've seen children dissolve racial prejudices and mend family ties. But its up to the individual to choose, really.
Very well said thanks
Do you really believe that if 2 people truly love each other that they can get through anything together?
Do you believe that young people are encouraged to have too much independence from their parents?
Can you honestly say you know a couple that has been married for over 30 years? Did you ask them how they stayed together so long? Do you believe you can have a relationship that will last this long?
Can babies have touretts when they are born? if so, what do they do differently since they cant do anything by themselves?
My name is Fabian. So there is this girl i have a big crush on, (not dating) I'm not ready to ask her out yet. But her name is Alyssa . I met her in middle school and me and her still text ALOT, like everyday. We sometimes hang out and chill. me and her care and love eachother alot, she loves me because i always been there for her, and i always made her feel better, she said she wouldn't know what she do without me. She said i am like one of the realest people out there. she said me and her will rock together forever. but these past 7 days i feel like me and her were getting dry, like if our bond wasn't the same , like if something was wrong with her. I miss texting her more, laughing and having funny and enjoyable convos, where we texted more and she replied faster. I noticed she has been sleeping in all day until 5 or 6pm , and she goes to bed earlier then usual, it made no sense to me. She also hasn't been texting anybody that much and she hasn't been on social media that much, i asked her and she "said You're the first person to actually notice. but idk, I've been sleeping a lot and idk why . Then i asked her what is causing all that and she said " I just got out of a really toxic friendship and it's been taking a huge toll on my emotions lately ". Turns out it was her bestfriend (Jony) they were really close. She really cared and trusted him. I asked what happened and she said "A lot of manipulation and mental abuse". What do you think she meant by that and what do you think might of happened? She said "We still talk a lil bit,, I just needed some space" But to be honest i don't know how to really help her, i need to find the right words to have her move on and whatever they have wasn't real anymore. I don't want her to think i am trying to talk her out her feelings, i also don't want to make her sound guilty or anything like that, i don't want to sound like An Asshole either. I am that type of person that is always going to be real with people and she knows that. I want her to be strong. Alot of people hurt
Do you believe you own your children? That while they are under your roof, you are the law and that's it? Or do you believe they are separate beings, deserve respect and consideration, and should have a say in things?
Do you believe that you can tell a lot about people by the company that they keep?
If Mormons believe that only a set number of people get into heaven, why do they come to your door to try to convert you and bring one more person in to potentially take thier spot?
We have a very interactive friendly group of people on this site. For the most part we know each other and get along well. Do you think that that frightens new people away..when they see how closely knit we can be in certain situations?
Do you believe most children still honor their Mother & Father, even after they have grown up & have a life of their own?

Scottish Startup Founded By Nigerian Secures £1.2M Investment
Pfizer & BioNTech To Increase Production of Vaccine Doses
Covid-19: How Nigeria Can Regain Vaccine Self-Reliance
Home/People & Money/Pfizer & BioNTech To Increase Production of Vaccine Doses
Michael Ajifowoke3 days ago
Please, share this story
WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has expressed concern about wealthy nations buying up the supply of vaccines and leaving none for the developing world. The pandemic cannot be defeated unless vaccines are distributed equitably, he argued.
German biotech company BioNTech and its United States pharmaceutical partner Pfizer Inc. announced Monday plans to boost production of its Covid-19 vaccine by 700 million doses.
The joint producers of the first Covid-19 vaccine found to be effective against the virus initially planned to manufacture 1.5 billion doses in 2021 having received approval by regulators in the United Kingdom, United States, the European Union, and more than 40 other countries.
But the companies now intend to provide as many as 2 billion after BioNTech added to its production capacity in its home country Germany, it said in a statement.
A new production site in Marburg, Germany, is expected to become operational by the end of next month and will be able to make as many as 750 million doses per year.
That means a total of six facilities will be producing the vaccine – three in Germany, and three operated by Pfizer in the U.S.

Also, a change in European Union rules allowing an additional shot – a sixth dose – to be extracted from every vial, similar to the U.S. and the UK, have also boosted European supplies.
Last week, the EU announced a deal for an additional 300 million doses of the vaccine, doubling their supply to 600 million. The U.S. also has the option to buy up to 600 million doses while Britain has ordered 40 million and Japan 120 million.
The new production total “is based on continuous process improvements and expansion at the current facilities, and contingent upon adding more suppliers as well as contract manufacturers,” BioNTech’s statement read, as cited by the Financial Times.
The companies have shipped almost 33 million doses of the vaccine so far from six manufacturing sites in America and Europe, it said. More than 1 billion doses to be produced this year have been sold and committed for delivery.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) said last week it is continuing negotiations with the companies about securing doses for the vaccine cooperative COVAX, organised by the agency to provide vaccines for low-income nations. No agreement has been reached.
A particular problem is the storage requirement of the BioNTech-Pfizer vaccine. The shots need to be kept at minus 70c during transit – colder than Antarctica – meaning it is difficult to distribute in countries without cold-chain infrastructure.

Some African countries have made significant progress in this regard. The South African government has a deal with the Serum Institute of India for the supply of 1.5 million doses of the Covid-19 vaccine developed by AstraZeneca and the University of Oxford. The first batches of supply are to begin in the first quarter of 2021, January, and the remaining batches in February.
Nigerian meanwhile expects to receive 100,000 doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine by the end of January, through the first phase of the COVAX facility, while the second phase will see the government receive free delivery of 42 million doses of approved vaccines currently available.
Pfizer and BioNTech have cautioned that two doses of the vaccine need to be taken 21 days apart to deliver the best protection. But several countries have said indicated they plan to delay the second dose in order to give more people at least one dose as soon as possible. Data from phase 3 trials of the shots showed that recipients gained partial protection from the virus as early as 12 days after the first dose.
Effective against Britain, South Africa strains
A preliminary study shows that the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine works against the key mutation in coronavirus variants uncovered in Britain and South Africa, which studies have found to be more contagious than the original Covid-19 strain.
Tests carried out have shown that “antibodies from people who have received the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine effectively neutralise SARS-CoV-2 with a key mutation that is also found in two highly transmissible strains,” the German company said in a statement last Friday.

Replication strategy of single stranded RNA viruses: open questions and biomedical relevance
RNA viruses continue to challenge the human population. The recently appeared SARS-CoV-2 virus join the list of numerous noxious pathogens, such as Ebola, Hepatitis C, Zika, dengue fever virus, and of course the previously encountered coronaviruses SARS and MERS. Despite the grave danger constituted by these pathogens, there is a considerable lack of detailed knowledge of many viral mechanisms and efficient therapies not only for the new coronavirus but also for many other single stranded RNA viruses (as well as other infectious microbes). Our major aim is to understand how the positive single stranded (+)ssRNA viruses regulate replication of their genome while also providing mRNA for translation of viral proteins. It is well known that these processes require a complex interplay of several viral proteins, the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase and its associated partners, as well as the host cell framework, and its endoplasmatic reticulum. We investigate these protein – membrane interactions in reconstituted in vitro systems with a complex methodology of structural biology (solution studies and X-ray crystallography) and cell biology.
Structural modell of RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (green cartoon) in complex with associated viral proteins (yellow, cyan, salmon cartoons). Figure was generated using our refined model of RdRp based on Gao et al, 2020 Science 10.1126/science.abb7498.
Physiological consequences and potential role of uracil substitution in genomes of model organisms
Conventionally, deoxyuridine incorporation into DNA is regarded to represent erroneous lesions, however chemical features of the uracil base does not show a remarkable difference from thymine except from a single methyl group at the 5th position of the pyrimidine ring. As the balance of the cellular nucleotide pool is deterministic in the quality of DNA synthesis, dUTPase catalyzing the hydrolysis of dUTP is a major player in the maintenance of this balance and uracil-free genome. Our research is focused on the genome metabolism of uracil substituted DNA in the framework of a new paradigm, suggesting that deoxyuridine lesions might assign unique fate for DNA in special cases. These cases are extensively studied recently by a set of research groups including ours. The special instances in which the presence of uracil was verified to have a unique role are the following:
- Immunoglobuline gene diversification
- Transcriptional regulation
- HIV life cycle
- and developmental biology
We focus on some of the above mentioned or other examples of uracil-DNA mediated cellular events. We employ this paradigm on model organisms such as mammalian or tumor-derived cell lines and Drosophila melanogaster. The physiological role of uracil substituted DNA is studied either genome scale by methods of molecular and cell biology. In Drosophila, complex developmental consequences are also examined in our lab.
Muha et al, 2012 PLoS Genetics
Interconnections of thymineless cell death with cellular signaling pathways
Almost all organisms employ a cluster of metabolic enzymes devoted for thymine biosynthesis in order to utilize thymine bases instead of uracil in their genome. The medical significance of this metabolic pathway is marked by the fact that nearly one-third of anti-cancer drugs used in clinics are targeted against thymidilate biosynthesis (such as fluoro-pyrimidines, anti folates) potentially inducing the so called thymine-less cell death. Personalized medicine aiming to minimize side effects and maximize the efficiency of chemotherapies requires prior knowledge about the characteristics of tumorous cells in order to predict the desired effect of a particular drug. Detailed mapping of protein networks participating or being affected by thymine-less cell death help us to estimate the receptivity of tumorous cells for drugs targeting thymidilate biosynthesis. We would like to contribute for this knowledge through our research that includes the characterization of thymine-less cell death. We especially aim to explore the involvement of dUTPase in the cellular process of thymine-less cell death.
Study of a molecular switch: Structural and molecular biological research on the Staphylococcus aureus pathogenicity island regulation
The bacterial genom frequently contains mobile genetic elements, which can replicate more or less independently from the bacterial chromosome. Some of these are phage related such as the pathogenicity islands (PIs), which have significant biomedical importance, since these are responsible for horizontal transfer of several toxins and virulence factors (for eg. the toxic shock syndrome).
Phage mediated mobilisation of some Staphylococcus aureus PIs are induced by formation of a repressor:derepressor complex of the Staphylococcal repressor protein (Stl) with a phage-related dUTPase. Studying the detailed mechanism of this interaction can provide much needed deep insight into bacterial gene expression regulation pathways, and potentially facilitates the design of new anti-bacterial compounds. In this project we investigate this system using various in vitro techniques ( native gel electrophoresis, electrophoretic mobility shift assay, steady-state and transient kinetics, VIS and fluorescence spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and X-ray crystallography).
dNTP metabolism in genotoxic stress tolerance
Cells maintain a fine-tuned concentration balance in the pool of deoxyribonucleoside 5’-triphosphates (dNTPs). The perturbation of this balance results in "mutator" phenotypes characterized by increased mutation frequencies. Genotoxic stress acts upon the dNTP pool directly and also via the SOS response to DNA damage. Our model is Mycobacterium smegmatis that shares the DNA metabolic and repair pathways with the tuberculosis bacterium, Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This intracellular pathogen is exposed to harsh genotoxic conditions by the host immune defense against them. It is therefore of major importance for these bacteria to develop strategies for the adaptation to genotoxic environmental conditions. We hope to understand how the changes in the dNTP pool possibly promote drug resistance as part of the adaptation to genotoxic stress.
Figure 1. dNTP metabolism in mycobacteria.
Red arrows indicate reactions catlyzed by specific enzymes while all other enzymes are non-specific for the nucleobase. In addititon to the four canonical dNTPs, dUTP, damaged dNTPs and the NTPs can also be incorporated into DNA to a lesser extent.
Design of novel molecular tools
Structural and mechanistic insights into antimalarial drug target CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase (CCT) from Plasmodium falciparum
Despite the intensive antimalarial research, malaria is still one of the deadliest infectious diseases today. Among the causative agents, Plasmodium falciparum is responsible for the vast majority of mortal outcomes. The recent challenges include the spread of multidrug resistant strains, urging the discovery of novel antimalarial targets. CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase (CCT) catalyzes the rate-limiting step within de novo phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis, a novel validated antimalarial drug target. We perform biochemical and structural characterization of CCT from Plasmodium falciparum to gain insights in mechanism of action and characterize parasite-specific functional elements. This study was published in FEBS J (PMID: 23578277)
We have identified key ligand interactions to the choline moiety provided by aromatic and negatively charged residues. This kind of ligand binding site architecture, termed as composite aromatic box is characteristic for the vast majority of enzymes performing catalysis using quaternary ammonium substrates or products. These enzymes play important role in essential biological processes such as neurotransmission and gene expression regulation. Thus the general feature of this discovery allows prediction of enzymatic function for cognate ligand binding sites and provides a framework for rational protein design. Our results may contribute to in-depth understanding of the mechanism of action of an emerging class of antimalarials. The results were published in Angewandte Chemie (PMID: 25283789), leading international journal of the field.
Figure 1. Architecture of the investigated enzyme binding site corresponds to a general quaternary ammonium ligand site that is utilized by additional enzymes involved in key biological processes.
Currently we are investigating the mechanistic details of PfCCT membrane binding-induced regulation mechanism including conformational changes of segments and molecular effectors of enzyme activity modulation.

Sarny
I reviewed Nightjohn by Gary Paulsen earlier this year and was really impressed with i t. I think that dealing with such a subject as slavery in a way that is approachable for younger readers and truthful is a gruelling challenge for an author, yet Paulsen does so admirably well. (See the publisher's author page for more info on Paulsen and his many historical works.)
I got a copy of Sarny for myself to find out what happens after the events of Nightjohn. In the course of the story Sarny matures, becomes a mother, a widow, and then a heroine as she unshackles herself and pursues her children, who have been sold away from her. Her pursuit of her children with her friend and fellow ex-slave Lucy in tow to assist was gut wrenching for a mother to read; and the friendship she had with Lucy was a good counterbalance to the pathos of finding missing children. In the course of events, Sarny learns more about privilege and the reliance she can have on a community than one would normally expect from such inauspicious beginnings. There is a Forrest Gump quality about the way Sarny ends up in the midst of historical events; though gratefully the author does not push it so far as to lose credibility, and also fortunately Sarny is far too smart to settle for Gumplike platitudes in describing her fate. She does offer a few gems of wisdom:
"The brain don't forget," Sarny says in reflection upon her life; her characterization is completely unforgettable.
Again, I read the book rapidly - in two sittings, as the story is so compelling. The setting of New Orleans was a brilliant one, as such a cosmopolitan city provides excellent contrast to Sarny at the start of her time there. I would have enjoyed learning more about Sarny's benefactor Miss Laura, and thought that featuring such a character in the story was both a risky and rewarding choice. My understanding is that Paulsen created these composite characters to represent an amalgamation of persons who would have existed at the time, and that there actually was no such person as Sarny. However, understanding and empathizing with Sarny is a valid way of understanding the historical period and the terrible legacy of slavery for an individual such as she.

Principal Investigator: Ethan Enns
Co-Investigators: Avery Good and Ryan Petricig
THE TEACHER FACILITATOR:
Leslie Nesbitt Fuerst
THE EXPERIMENT:
Will cosmic radiation increase the rate of mutations in yeast’s DNA? Will an antioxidant from green tea decrease the rate of mutations in DNA?
Proposal Summary: We want to know if astronauts can decrease their risk of cancer by taking an antioxidant supplement. Therefore, the question to be addressed by the experiment is:
We are using yeast because originally we wanted to test human cells in space but we found out that they would die before they got into space. The cells would not survive for several reasons: there is not enough oxygen, there would be no way to eliminate waste, there would not be enough nutrients, and it would not be warm enough. We will be using yeast as a model for human cells because they are very similar and easy to work with.
We will be testing yeast in saline and yeast in saline with an antioxidant from green tea to see if the antioxidant will protect the yeast from the cosmic radiation experienced in microgravity. On Earth we will have a control consisting of the exact same experiment. This will show us if there is an increased rate of damage to the yeast’s cells from the radiation and if the antioxidant will decrease the damage to the cells.
We hypothesize that the radiation will increase the rate of mutations in yeast’s DNA in space compared to the mutation rate on Earth. We also hypothesize that the antioxidant from green tea will decrease the mutations to yeast’s DNA.

COHNAG > About Us
Community Health Nurses Association, Ghana (COHNAG) is the frontline mother association of Community Health Nurses in Ghana. In order to become a member of the noble association, there is the need for such individual to acquire a certificate in Community Nursing from any recognized Health Training Institution in Ghana. The prospective member would have to obtain at least two (2), three (3) and four (4) years training in and have written and pass the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) licensing examinations with a certificate, diploma or a degree in Community Nursing. However, the COHNAG is an amalgam of Community Health Nurses (CHNs), and Registered Community Nurses (RCNs).
The association started as a group in April, 1999 in Kumasi in the Ashanti region of Ghana with support from DANIDA, Ghana. We had our first national delegates congress on April, 2000 in Accra at GRNA Secretariat/Hostel.
The group was founded by Ms. Fanny Enos and latter supported by Ms. Lydia Gyawu, Ms. Rebecca A. Atalia, Ms. Comfort Adjei, Ms. Gladys Amedzro, Ms. Natalia Kerinke, Ms. Rejoice Amegbe, Ms. Ayeshitu Mahama, and Ms. Mariama Hamidu.
Subsequently in 2013, the Community Health Nurses Group, Ghana (CHNG) was changed to Community Health Nurses Association, Ghana (COHNAG) following the registration at Registrar General Department and Ghana Labour Department. With Ms. Esther Frempomaa Bamfo as it first president and with initial membership of three thousand nine hundred and forty-two (3,942). Today, with a current membership of over sixteen
thousand seven hundred and seventy-four (16,774) and the COHNAG is
housed around CFC bus stop Achimota Ofankor road, Accra.
Community Health Nurses Association, Ghana (COHNAG) is a professional
association independent and non-partisan in nature. The COHNAG is the
exclusive mouthpiece for all Community Health Nurses in matters affecting
The COHNAG is made up of ten (10) National Executives Committee drawn

Kardashian Brother Gets In Car Accident on 101 Freeway in Los Angeles
admin May 13, 2016 Leave a comment
Rob Kardashian, the 29-year old star of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, stock entrepreneur, and luxury car collector was startled when a vehicle struck his luxurious Bentley as he was merging onto the 101 freeway in Los Angeles.
At the time of the accident, Rob was traveling solo. Fortunately, he was able to leave the incident with no injuries. His Bentley, however, suffered from some damage. The Mirror Online captured video footage that showed the rear bumper of the Bentley caving in as a result of the accident.
Whether or not others were injured during the crash is currently unknown. Based on the $200K purple Lamborghini purchase Rob recently made for his fiancée, 27-year old hip-hop model, Blac Chyna, it’s clear that he won’t have any trouble paying for the damage. Blac’s $325K engagement ring from Rob further proves this point.
Blac and Rob, who started dating at the beginning of 2016 have plans to spend big bucks on their upcoming wedding. According to a source, Blac would like an extravagant exotic wedding with all of her family members present and the most lavish food and wine.
Although Rob’s family did not initially approve of Blac, they’ve finally managed to accept her. For much more information on Los Angeles 101 Freeway car accidents click on the link for a very valuable resource. Note that the 101 Freeway is also known as Ventura Freeway in the Los Angeles area. Although 101 runs all the way up the west coast most people in Los Angeles travel a very small portion of the highway.
One would imagine that Rob Kardashian was simply driving from one part of Los Angeles to another when he was struck while merging on to the Ventura (101) Freeway.

"They are more like a plantain, denser and not as sweet," said Mr Porter, "but they are displayed in bowls and used in cooking in the house. The Giant Frog Farms of the 1930s Were a Giant Failure. With no variety to take its place, the banana as we know it could be commercially defunct. But just as breeders were busy cultivating their Cavendishes, so too was Panama disease developing a new strain capable of killing them off. For decades the most-exported and therefore most important banana in the world was the Gros Michel, but in the 1950s it was practically wiped out by the fungus known as Panama disease or banana wilt. For years, the fruit was an unreliable product due to its short ripening period; storms at sea or delayed trains meant that these early banana salesmen would often open shipping crates full of rotten, unsellable fruit. My co-worker shocked and baffled me by reporting that, in 10 years or so, bananas will be extinct. "We have much more advanced technology now than we did when we lost the Gros Michel," Dr Kema said. The physical properties of the Gros Michel make it an excellent export produce; its thick peel makes it resilient to bruising during transport and the ⦠There are hundreds of edible banana varieties, but to standardise production, banana companies selected a single type to grow: the Gros Michel, a large, flavourful banana.

Perhaps most terrifyingly, this problem isn’t limited to bananas. Already, plantations in Asia, Africa and elsewhere have been wiped out by a new strain of Panama known as Tropical Race 4. In the United Kingdom, one in four pieces of fruit consumed is a banana and, on average, each Briton eats 10 kg of bananas per year; in the United States, that’s 12 kg, or up to 100 bananas. The banana is an edible fruit, which is technically a berry, and popular throughout the world Prior to that, people ate a cultivar known as Gros Michel. Gros Michel Bananas are NOT extinct. This is the story of how the Cavendish became the world's most important fruit - and why it and bananas as we know them could soon cease to exist. The wild banana is a giant jungle herb with a fruit that normally contains a mass of hard seeds that make it inedible. Meanwhile, oblivious to the global catastrophe their cousins are facing, Chatsworth's plants continue to produce between 30 and 100 bananas a year to be eaten by the Cavendish family and their guests. Bananas are thought to have been first domesticated in Southeast Asia, and their consumption is mentioned in early Greek, Latin, and Arab writings; Alexander the Great saw bananas on an expedition to India.Shortly after the discovery of America, bananas were taken from the Canary Islands to the New World, where they were first established in Hispaniola and soon spread to other ⦠The banana is among the worldâs oldest crops.

With strawberries out of season, one of the bakers created a banana cream-filled cake using the small shortbread pans. Our focus on growing food in homogeneous blocks of land, as if they were giant outdoor manufacturing plants, is a natural process with nature taken out of the equation. From 1800 to 1830, red bananas of Cuban origin were sold in the port cities of New York and Boston, but never with any regularity. Bananas are the most popular fruit in the world, but they could soon be killed off by a deadly fungus.

Banana growers turned to another breed that was immune to the fungus - the Cavendish, a smaller and by all accounts less tasty fruit but one capable of surviving global travel and, most importantly, able to grow in infected soils. As things stand, it is time to admit we don’t pay enough for bananas.

Review of ‘Estates: An intimate history’
The Coalition Government is proposing that council houses ‘for life’ are to be phased out, with new tenancies being of fixed term and tenants being encouraged to find accommodation in the private sector when they are financially able. No better time to review Estates: An Intimate History by Lynsey Hanley:
Council estates – very often large, indistinguishable blocks of housing found in inner cities and on the outskirts of towns – have become familiar features of the British landscape. The social problems encountered on many of these estates have meant that, rather than realising the anticipated Bevanite socialist dream, ‘council estate’ has become shorthand for ‘proletarian hell’.
In this part history, part personal memoir journalist Lynsey Hanley looks at the UK’s social housing from both inside and out. Hanley was born and raised on a Birmingham council estate and writes that this book is ‘an attempt to work out how much of the stubborn rigidity of the British class system is down to the fact that class is built into the physical landscape of the country’
Although ‘council housing’ is for many forever associated with unappealing tower blocks, subsidized rented homes were first built by philanthropists in the mid-nineteenth century. The first ‘council estate’ was the Boundary Estate in Bethnal Green which replaced the notorious Old Nichol slum. It was World War I which provided the impetus for the first large scale housing funding when Prime Minister David Lloyd George announcing that returning soldiers deserved ‘homes for heroes’. This initiate was also aimed to at sidestepping a feared Bolshevik revolution.
Further building took place after the Second World War as four million houses had been destroyed or damaged beyond repair whist the UK population had increased by one million. The acute housing shortage which followed engendered government targets of 300,000 new homes to be built each year during parts of the 1950 and 1960s.
Despite reports that the flat accommodation predominately provided proved unsuitable for families and communities alike, these homes were often erected quickly with previous high standards being disregarded. That the burden of the consequences of this myopia fell directly onto the disadvantaged is a theme to which Hanley returns again and again. Communities found it hard to establish themselves in the new estates, which were often placed outside towns with poor access to transport or amenities. Occupants felt unable to police the anonymous stairways and walkways on which they lived and these became havens for antisocial behaviour. The prosperity of many estates suffered as tenants were predominately employed in poorly paid jobs of the sort that have, with deindustrialization, become progressively more precarious.
In the 1980s Thatcherite reforms meant that those living in council houses were able to purchase their previously rented properties. Although popular, this has reduced the housing stock available for councils and by Hanley’s reckoning has further marginalizing those unable to step onto the housing ladder. Such is the continuing unmet demand for social housing that some councils have actually begun to buy back council homes.
Hanley’s anger that we have created ‘single class concentration camps’ is thus set out; the difficulties in escaping such confines are illustrated by her own experience. Poor schools situated on council estates have low expectations of their pupils and some of the worst exam results in the country. In addition there are less tangible barriers to social inclusion or, as Hanley describes (and borrowing a phrase from reunified Germany) a ‘wall in the head’.
Most social housing is now not actually owned by councils and much of what is now built are mixed developments of social and private housing. Hanley concludes by relating her own experience of purchasing a council home in East London and her subsequent attempt, as part of a committee of residents, to have the estate redeveloped into something more suitable. Her vision is proper housing for all, with social housing ‘less distinguishable from private housing in order to give those who rent a more equal chance in life to those who buy’.
Hanley’s answer to her own question is ‘yes’; council housing has made class segregation worse and whilst many people have a surfeit of choice in their lives, a minority have none. Although Estates often falls foul of making the similar point again and again, she has nevertheless succeeded in making the subject of social housing compelling.
Here’s an interesting paragraph from the book about mental health:
Although many people manage to hold themselves together and even thrive in the single class environment of a council estate, hidden damage is caused by many factors. First, there is the simple knowledge that you are surrounded by poor people – poor who have drawn the short straw in life and can see no obvious way of lengthening it. The fact that you are living in a place populated almost exclusively by the poor makes those who are less poor unlikely to enter the area unless they have to, further entrenching its isolation and the stigma of living there. That isolation in turn limits the aspiration of those poor people by presenting few clear alternatives to the lives being lived around them. If those lives seem mad and chaotic, that madness and chaos will spread to those who are the most susceptible. So it spirals down. The sense that you are fettered by circumstances beyond your control – lack of money, a house that you have not chosen to live in, noisy and antisocial neighbours – will, if left unchecked, inevitably lead to depression and general poor health. …. In American housing projects, the ‘ghetto miasma’ that is said to cast a pall over the lives of the (overwhelmingly black) poor lifts miraculously from anyone who is moved out of them to single family homes on the edge of the countryside.

Three Tiers of Vocabulary and Education
by Thaashida L. Hutton, M.S., CCC-SLP
Vocabulary consists of the words we understand when we hear or read them (receptive vocabulary ) and words we speak or write (expressive vocabulary ). We build vocabulary by picking up words that we read or hear and through direct instruction from teachers or other professionals. Knowing a variety of words is important for language development and reading comprehension. A limited vocabulary is usually a "red flag," indicating a possible language learning disability and reduced literacy skills.
Most children begin first grade with about 6,000 words of spoken vocabulary. They will learn 3,000 more words per year through third grade. However, not all words have equal importance in language instruction. So, how do we know which words we need to teach? We consider three types of vocabulary words—three tiers of vocabulary—for teaching and assessing word knowledge. A word's frequency of use, complexity, and meaning determines into which tier it will fall. Those with mature vocabularies and age-appropriate literacy skills understand and use words from all three tiers. This handout discusses the three tiers of vocabulary, Tier 1—Basic Vocabulary, Tier 2—High Frequency/Multiple Meaning, and Tier 3—Subject Related.
Tier 1—Basic Vocabulary
Tier one consists of the most basic words. These words rarely require direct instruction and typically do not have multiple meanings. Sight words, nouns, verbs, adjectives, and early reading words occur at this level. Examples of tier one words are: book, girl, sad, run, dog, and orange. There about 8,000 word families in English included in tier one.
Tier 2—High Frequency/Multiple Meaning Vocabulary
Tier two consists of high frequency words that occur across a variety of domains. That is, these words occur often in mature language situations such as adult conversations and literature, and therefore strongly influence speaking and reading. Following is a list of standards for tier two words:
Important for reading comprehension
Contain multiple meanings
Used across a variety of environments (generalization)
Characteristic of mature language users
Increased descriptive vocabulary (words that allow students to describe concepts in a detailed manner)
Tier two words are the most important words for direct instruction because they are good indicators of a student's progress through school. Examples of tier two words are: masterpiece, fortunate, industrious, measure, and benevolent. There are about 7,000 word families in English (or 700 per year) in tier two.
Tier 3—Low-Frequency, Context-Specific Vocabulary
Tier three consists of low-frequency words that occur in specific domains. Domains include subjects in school, hobbies, occupations, geographic regions, technology, weather, etc. We usually learn these words when a specific need arises, such as learning amino acid during a chemistry lesson. Examples of tier three words are: economics, isotope, asphalt, Revolutionary War, and crepe. The remaining 400,000 words in English fall in this tier.
It important to remember that tier two and three words are not all clear-cut in their tier classification. There is more than one way to select the words. Word knowledge is subject to personal experience.
Students with Limited Vocabulary
Students may struggle to increase vocabulary because of poor memory skills, difficulty using word learning strategies, or lack of instruction. This may be a result of a language and/or learning disability, or poor instruction. Under these situations, schools can administer a response to intervention program (RtI). RtI will then determine if the student requires additional instruction or special education services. Contact your school district to find out its current response to intervention program.

Ancient mosaic fragments in the sea, Atalanti, Greece.
The tide came in as we were sitting there and the water lapped over the mosaics. Photo: Helen Miles Mosaics
I know what I would have done if I had discovered the ancient mosaic fragments in the sea near Atalanti on the east coast of mainland Greece. I would have wrapped up my secret in tissue paper and put it in a shoe box under the bed. I would have hoarded the knowledge and pleasure of those fragments all to myself, worried for their safety, conscious of their fragility. But I didn’t discover them so they are not in my shoe box but here, on the internet, for all to see.

I came across the fragments through a Facebook post by Olga Goulandris , a mixed media mosaic artist living and working in Greece. In a comment thread she wrote that the mosaics fragments in the sea could be found off the main national road north of Athens heading towards Lamia. As it happens, I pass along that road quite often. With a car loaded with boys, weekend supplies and a scruffy dog, I routinely zoom past the turning en route to our little house in the mountains of Pelion. After seeing Olga’s post I often calculated whether I could test the patience of my fractious teenagers and go in search of the mosaics, but having hauled them around many of the major mosaic sites of Europe I knew that boys and mosaics are not necessarily a good mix and deferred.

However, when my friend, Angie, mentioned that she wanted to go to the ancient site of Delphi (the other town signposted at the Atalanti turning) my ears perked up. For one thing, Delphi has a wonderful early Christian floor mosaic that I had long been intending to return to and savour after glimpsing it years ago on a family trip with the boys, then much younger and even more recalcitrant. For another, Angie being Angie would want to join me in the hunt for these mosaic fragments in the sea. And so one bright, clear November day, music blaring, wheels screeching, we hit the open road.

I’ve written about the early Christian mosaic at Delphi in another post. Suffice to say, Angie being Angie wrangled special permission for us to duck under the barriers to see and photograph it up close. I’ll hold my horses on that one and only tell you that after a very happy morning communing with the mosaic and then going to the museum next door to admire the charioteer’s ankles, we headed off to Atalanti with little to guide us but a fixed intention and a steely determination.
Another fragment. Very little remains. Photo: Helen Miles Mosaics
Once we arrived in the unprepossessing town of Atalanti we made a few enquiries. A woman with a pram at the recycling bins directed us to the end of the main street and then left. A frocked priest with the prerequisite beard and twinkly eyes waved us straight ahead and over a bridge. On the coast, a man working at a kiosk selling chocolates and cigarettes knew of the mosaics and told us which road to take. It was the sort of road that almost goes out of it’s way not to call attention to itself. No signpost, no distinguishing features, a single lane running along a strip of coastline overlooking the North Evvian Gulf. Unusually for Greece, it’s not the kind of coastline you’d want to stop and admire, just a thin strip of dirty sand mixed with coarse stones and seaweed looking like something regurgitated from the bathroom plug hole.

We stopped again and asked a solitary woman holding a fishing rod with a cigarette stuck between her lips. She gave us more detailed directions but even so the mosaics were hard to find. We parked the car and walked along the shore but found nothing. Thinking the mosaic fragments must be submerged, I decided to go get my Wellington boots and wade out. And it was then, striking off on an illogical route back to the car, that I found them.

Information about the mosaic fragments is not easy to come by; about when they were made, why they are there and how they’ve manage to survive. All we have are the remains of some walls close by. If you Google them you wont find much except Olga’s post. Angie (being Angie) searched for me and found a reference by Thucydides referring to an earthquake in the region in 426BC and even though that’s too early for these mosaics it confirms what we already know and provides a reasonable hypothesis – that Greece is prone to earthquakes and that the mosaics could easily have been shifted at some point by seismic activity and then abandoned. At a very rough guess, I would say that they are late Roman/early Byzantine.

Atalanti has a little museum which might hold some answers but unfortunately Angie and I didnt have the time to go there and clearly it would be well worth visiting the Byzantine Museum of Phthiotis, Hypati, in Lamia which has quite a few mosaics salvaged from the region. There must be more information about these fragments out there somewhere but I failed to find it.

Notwithstanding their obscurity, it’s amazing how such humble things can evoke such strong feelings and generate such wide interest. There is something about ancient mosaic fragments which seems to elicit the abandoned puppy reaction in us all. When I got back to Athens I put a 24 second video on my Facebook page which has been liked more than 700 times, shared 2,600 times and viewed over 127,000 times. Given that some of the things I post only get ten likes, 700 is a lot. Many people commented on how wonderful these mosaic fragments in the sea are. Some said that the mosaics should be protected and a few even wondered if they could be fakes.

Yes, they are wonderful and in an ideal world they would be preserved and no, they are not fakes. The mosaics are not the finest examples of their kind. Looking at the mosaics above from the Byzantine Museum of Phthiotis you can see why those mosaics (assuming they are from the same area) were rescued and these, with their formulaic patterns, were not. Greece has dozens of world famous archeological sites to protect and probably thousands of minor ones and with limited resources available some things will inevitably get neglected.

The good news is that what’s left of the mosaic fragments in the sea seem remarkably sturdy. The mosaics feel as solidly embedded as if they were soldered into the rock beneath them. None of the tesserae or even smaller chunks of mosaic like the one above could possibly be removed by casual visitors. They have been there for a very long time indeed and I sincerely hope that they are likely to remain so. The fractured edges of the remaining pieces show that as much careful craftsmanship was put into creating the floor’s multi layered substrate as into making the mosaics themselves and the preparatory work has paid off.

The bad news, however, is that Olga photographed a large section of the mosaic (bottom right in the photograph below) which is no longer there and the black and white circle/star shaped section to it’s left which still remains is definitely larger in her photographs than in mine.

It would be nice to think that the sections was removed by experts and at the very least placed for safe keeping in a museum store room but I suspect that’s not what happened and we’ll never know where they were taken. In the grand scale of archeological looting it’s not a tragedy but it’s upsetting nonetheless. These fragments have survived for at least a thousand years, probably more, and they are vulnerable. Dont ask me where to find them because the secret, even if only part of it is left and I can’t claim it as my own, is safely stored under my bed.

Water District issues drinking water notice
Last Thursday, the Dedham-Westwood Water District released a drinking water notice revealing routine testing of the District's facilities had yielded an isolated positive E. coli result:
"We routinely monitor for the presence of drinking water contaminants to ensure the safety of the water supply. On July 12, 2017, our water system learned that a raw (untreated) water sample collected on July 11, 2017 at the White Lodge Water Treatment Plant tested positive for E. coli, which is a fecal indicator. Fecal indicators are used to detect ground water sources that may be susceptible to fecal contamination which may contain harmful viruses or bacteria. Raw water samples from all five of the wells treated at the Plant tested clean, but a sample collected of combined raw water tested positive. The White Lodge Water Treatment Plant was turned off once we learned of the sample result, and is presently turned off.
"The water delivered to your taps through the distribution system is disinfected with chlorine to kill viruses and bacteria, including E. coli. It is important to note that the treated water from the Plant and treated samples collected in the distribution system did NOT detect any fecal contaminants.
"Even though none of the chlorinated samples tested positive, our chlorine disinfection system at the White Lodge Water Treatment Plant has not been certified by the MassDEP as 4-log compliant for 99.99% virus inactivation. In accordance with the federal Ground Water Rule (GWR) requirements, we are notifying you of the situation and conducting additional sampling to evaluate the extent of potential fecal contamination and will take further actions as necessary."

Hungary’s Pentecostal Faith Church overtly endorses Viktor Orbán
March 20, 2018 4:02 pm·
The Faith Church (Hit Gyülekezete), a Budapest-based Pentecostal mega-church, which is said to have a congregation of over 30,000, endorsed Prime Minister Viktor Orbán this past Sunday. Specifically, the congregation’s leader, Sándor Németh, warned his followers during the Sunday service that a vote for the opposition on 8 April is a vote for allowing into Hungary 10,000 Muslims a year. Taking his rhetoric up a notch, Mr. Németh suggested that a victory by the opposition parties and the subsequent arrival of scores of Muslims could lead to the demise of Christianity in Hungary.
Mr. Németh introduced party politics into his Sunday service while reading messages that had arrived to him–some of the senders were upset by his community’s close friendship with the Orbán government. Many of our readers will know, that prior to 2010, the Hit Gyülekezete was widely seen as being associated with liberal politicians and parties in Hungary, particularly the now defunct Alliance of Free Democrats (SZDSZ). In the early nineties, Faith Church members actively campaigned for SZDSZ politicians, collecting nomination forms for the party ahead of elections. The weekly political magazine Hetek and ATV are both generally liberal media ventures affiliated with the Hit Gyülekezete.
It was the 444.hu website that reported on the overt endorsement of Fidesz by Mr. Németh at this past Sunday’s service. One critic expressed his displeasure with the fact that a large number of Faith Church members marched with the most hardline Fidesz supporters during the so-called Peace March (Békemenet) on 15 March. “What are you doing amongst the lowest of the fellow travellers of the national thief-dictator? You will suffer defeat alongside them and you too will have to flee the country when this happens…” Mr. Németh responded by pointing out that one must not vote for a party that will force people to flee the country after the election–though he did not specify which party or mainstream politician was actually advocating for this. (No party has ever said such a thing.) Moreover, Mr. Németh made no mention of Viktor Orbán’s threat against the opposition on 15 March.
Mr. Németh told his congregation that he “perused” the other candidates for prime minister and ultimately found that Mr. Orbán was the only one qualified for the job. According to his assessment, Ferenc Gyurcsány was already given a chance, Gergely Karácsony is still “untested” and inexperienced, while Gábor Vona is like “Odysseus lost at sea…”
Sándor Németh
The Faith Church leader is also not especially concerned by reports of systemic corruption in Fidesz, suggesting instead that these problems are “fixable.” In contrast, he is much more concerned about the possibility that gay marriage and the acceptance of refugees might both become the law of the land–and if this were to happen, there is no going back. Mr. Németh told his followers that the opposition parties would surely “capitulate” to Brussels on the issue of refugees and migrants.
Repeating Prime Minister Orbán’s main campaign message, Mr. Németh noted that the fate of Hungary was at stake.
The Amerikai Népszava is edited by László Bartus, who knows perhaps more about Mr. Németh and his church than any other journalist. Mr. Bartus argues that Mr. Németh has managed to become close to every political party when they were in power. He also warned that Mr. Németh appears to be suggesting that Hungary may, in the future, become the next Great Britain and could leave the European Union. This, of course, is highly unlikely any time soon, as a large majority of Hungarians are supportive of continued EU membership, including supporters of both Fidesz and Jobbik.

I feel strongly that is all B.S.and a scare tactic !
Hungary has been an atheist country for quite a while now.
That is a silly approach to oppose or support immigration to Hungary.
The first should be to determine if Hungary needs immigrants?
And second, if that would be needed, that can they afford to take care of them? That could be a hell of a long time before those immigrants pick up the language and can be self-supporting productive members of the society.
I’d think the answer to both , are NO.

Christopher, if you pay our Catholic Priest 10.000 Ft. he will consecrate what ever you want, also Horthy which he did. In Siofok they have Priest, they send Roma away by giving the poor people to eat. Thou Hit Gyülekezete looks very holy. Is thruth a Problem?
StrandedinSopron says:
I am not going to make a judgement on Mr Nemeth’s own personal faith, only God knows what is truly inside a man’s heart. And I do know from a very dear friend that he has helped numerous people in their time of torment.
There are two points however that I think contradict the teaching of Christ in the New Testament. First (from that same friend), I know that in a sermon in 2015, he stated that Muslims are first terrorists and secondly human beings. Secondly, the pursuit of mammon (which I suspect is what is guiding his present pro-regime stance). His church is not just a church but a TV station, magazine publisher and generally v profitable business. My friend left his church after a lot of internal mental anguish and I can see exactly where that came from.

Website » Riding the glory train
“I am outraged to find my name associated with this man.”
–Kennedy Grey, writer
Jeff Rense calls his website, Rense.com, “your first source for reality & honest journalism.”[1] He describes his radio show as “one of a kind”, and elaborates: “No ego, no arrogance, no shouting and ranting, the program is genuine journalism, intellect, reason, care and concern, and true inquiry.”[2]
Given that Rense is so keen on “honest journalism” and “true inquiry”, we decided to take a closer look at a profile piece about Rense that is reprinted on two of his web pages, “About the Program” and “About Jeff”,[2][3] both of which are linked from a prominent position on the Rense.com homepage.
Both of these promotional pages contain information about Rense, his website Rense.com, and his radio show. Each page includes the same reprint of an article entitled The Most Dangerous Man in Talk Radio, written by Kennedy Grey and first appearing in Whole Life Times magazine in September 1999. [Update 11 May 2012: The Kennedy Grey article has now been removed from the “About the Program” page, but can be accessed through Archive.org; see link [2] below.] [Update 01 June 2012: The Kennedy Grey article has now been removed from the “About Jeff” page, but can be accessed through Archive.org; see link [3] below.]
There’s no doubt the article is a complimentary one. It details Rense’s disillusionment with mainstream media’s “thinly-disguised press release ‘fluff’ journalism”, and describes how Rense “set out to re-invent himself into a liberator of truth from the confines of a corrupt and bloated news broadcast industry.”
Links to "About the Program" and "About Jeff" on Rense.com (click to enlarge)
We decided to contact Kennedy Grey to see if he recalled the article. Even though he wrote it over 12 years ago, he does indeed remember it–and the publication it appeared in. Whole Life Times, said Grey, was “a relatively obscure Malibu beach newspaper with low circulation and no real editorial fact/checking process.” And the article?
If it were WIRED* they would not have published it. When you get paid 25 bucks, you get one source and write a fluff piece.
(*WIRED is a magazine & online periodical that Grey has written for.)
So, The Most Dangerous Man in Talk Radio was a $25 puff piece with one source–Rense himself–written for a low circulation periodical. Well, you might say, what’s wrong with that? Media personalities like Rense have to avail themselves of every available promotional opportunity.
But that’s not all there is to the story.
Turns out, the article that appears on Rense’s website is not quite the same as the one Grey wrote back in 1999.
When Rense reprinted the puff piece on his own website, he couldn’t resist tweaking it to make it just a little more… puffy.
We asked Grey to look at the changes Rense had made to his article. He wasn’t pleased.
Journalism works because it does its best to provide the truth. To find this or any piece rewritten as a self-serving PR piece disrespects both me as a writer, and the realm of responsible journalism.
After closer evaluation of the information available about Jeff Rense, Grey had this to say:
I am outraged to find my name associated with this man. To have been duped by someone with the wanton and reckless desire to further his own reputation by engineering something I wrote is an indication of a deeply troubled individual.
Kennedy Grey was kind enough to send us a copy of the original article[4], and here we compare selections from it with Rense’s altered version.
Original text Altered text Comment
When Jeff Rense walked away from a #1 rated Oregon-based TV talk show, people suspected job burnout. When Jeff Rense walked away from a #1 rated Oregon TV news anchor position, people suspected job burnout. Seems that working for a #1 “TV talk show” doesn’t sound nearly as impressive as being a #1 “TV news anchor.”
Twelve years as an on-air news personality and production person “up and down the west coast”… Twelve years as on on-air news anchor and News Director “up and down the west coast”… Why be a “news personality and production person” when you can be a “news anchor and News Director”?
“I witnessed television news in the ’70s recede from film journalism to a video product.” “I witnessed television news in the 80s recede from journalism to ‘product’.” Is changing the decade meant to give the perception of youth?
Sightings runs the gamut from outright lunacy… to more down-to-earth topics like China’s oppression of Tibet and government whistle-blowing. His show content runs the gamut from outright lunacy… to more down to earth topics as government intrugue[sic], secret weapons, and cutting edge health issues. It would appear that “China’s oppression of Tibet and government whistle-blowing” isn’t nearly as sexy as “government intrugue[sic], secret weapons, and cutting edge health issues.”
Rense’s fears about media consolidation are easily validated. The Telecommunications Act of 1996 allows any network or company to own TV stations reaching as many as 35% of the nation’s households (previously, the limit was 25%). In areas with fewer than 35,000 people, the local phone company can completely buy out the local cable company. The TC act also lifts national limits on radio station ownership–now one company can own up to eight stations in the market (AM or FM). [Not in altered version.] Why clutter up a perfectly good puff piece with all those relevant facts? Better to just delete the whole lot.
The TC Act also allows local phone companies to offer cable, and long-distance carriers to offer local phone service: cable can offer phone, or one can offer all three. With the expense of getting into new businesses like phone service or cable, these interests are more likely to merge than compete. [Not in altered version.] Ditto.
[Not in original version.] (The top trade magazine, Talkers, named Jeff to the top 100 talk show hosts in America in 2001…) Always room for a bit more puffery.
Rense’s <www.sightings.com> website is also quite popular, currently drawing over 4 million total hits per month. Rense’s world-renowned news service, www.rense.com, is currently drawing over ten million total hits per month. Why be a “quite popular” website when you can be a “world-renowned news service”? Might as well change “4 million hits” to “10 million” as well.

Putting himself in a better light, quite reasonable! You are makimg mountains out of mole hills.
Kennedy Grey says:
NJ: Though i will be the first to admit Whole Life Times is not the most cutting-edge of late-breaking journalism, all journalism is by its very nature based on the idea of balance. The imbalance began once the interview started: the story assigned was to cover the topics of his show, and ended up being re-routed into a press piece and glorious cover letter for the man himself during the interview. There simply was no answer about the topics covered in his show that didn’t immediately re-route to his own history in radio. When i realized that the show itself was not even on the radio (it was podcast I believe), i had little choice but to allow the focus of the story to became Rense himself given the interview and the time alloted to its completion. At the time I was uncomfortable handing in something that gratuitous, and few seemed to notice or care since he was really not available in the media without the (at the time) somewhat arcane knowledge of podcast access. So i will agree that there’s nothing wrong with it–as a press release written by a one-sided corporate shill– However, in its rewritten form, it is a mockery of balanced journalism and a sham that speaks to a personality type I can only classify as a blend of sociopathic and megalomaniacal. Such wanton disrespect for both the magazine, to me as a journalist and to the first amendment itself is reason enough to buy into this man’s growing infamy.
Eides +12 says:
“Riding the glory train” is too fitting as J Rense wants his own private choo-choo around his Neverland Ranch….given his father worked in the Military Industrial Complex I wonder what role that has in Jeff’s psychosis…it can’t just be spoiled brat syndrome (or could it), and his sad story about his mother having relations with other men within earshot of him is pathetic as so many of children grow-up with far worse horrors than that and yet don’t develop such a personality disorder…perhaps the combination of factors but I am now guessing.
Whatever his reason for having a “personal demon” I can’t sympathize with a man so full of himself. However, I am very pissed after years of listening to him talk about his poor ass needing a hand out — by the way, I bought some of the crap he personally promoted and sold on his site and it was a waste. Given that Jeff is so self-obsessed then I have high hopes he will read this…good! Or his stooge P. Drockton will read it and report back to him. Perhaps, “Dog Poet Transmitting” (pathetic) will write an overly long, flowery and too obviously self-aggrandizing piece about it…if I’m lucky he’ll do one of those “it’s a woman and you have to make love to it” pieces …sick stuff really.
So the puff piece didn’t contain enough puffery for the ‘world renowned’ newsman who, like Matt Drudge, simply copies and pastes stories written and published by others?
And what’s the stated purpose of Rense’s website and radio program??
Oh yes, to broadcast ‘the truth’.
OK then.

Mr. Rense has some ‘splainin to do it seems, but I wonder why he left out some of the most interesting facts and descriptions from the above article that Mr. Grey wrote? While Mr. Rense has a nice radio voice and obviously some talent to interview people, he must have had an overactive libido and questionable tactics in obtaining info. I think many women must believe the fact you’ve been married so many times is an indication you’re a great lover.
ctyfty says:
just more fraud from this liar who pushes masonic lies, even admitted masons like les visible,,,,and yet attacks Henry Makow for no reason.
I’m preparing my own site against this liar
I don’t know if Les Visible is a mason or not, but he’s definitely a lying, drug addicted sociopath.
proof at cassiopaea
You did take drugs when here, Les. Do you not recall brewing tea just prior to the chateau visit? Ask Susanne. It brought a side out of you I was not prepared for. Dissociating, Les?
Excerpted from an email, to Les Visible:
Apparently Les Visible is no longer allowed in the United States.
Based on what I’ve read I figure it’s due to some serious drug related offense. Probably has a drug related warrant out for his arrest. Who is Les Visible?
“Who is Les Visible?
Les was once an American and he doesn’t hide the fact that he was once arrested and detained for a few years in one of America’s fine Mental Institution. The institution was St. Elizabeth’s Hospital located in Washington D.C. In fact he was on the same wing as the late poet Ezra Loomis Pound. This is the wing reserved for the criminally insane.”
Nice of Rense to publish on his website the ramblings of a criminally insane degenerate.
Who is Les Visible link
More proof about the real Les Visible in the comments section here.
This appeared in the COMMENTS(!) section of “Reflections in a Petri Dish” on 9/5/12, “Maurice Chagrin on the Grassy Knoll in NYC.” ostensibly written by Les Visible as a response to some comments.
“I’ll point out that we have the capacity to pinpoint the location and identity of everyone who comments here and comments like yours are the sort of thing that can find themselves routed onward to those who take an interest in those kinds of statements. I’m not a snitch and I avoid that kind of thing at all costs but I cannot speak for everyone who works around here; word to the wise.”
“No, this is not a one man operation. I have help keeping the place up…”
This should raise anybody’s eyebrows; the first quote is an outright heavy handed, possibly government backed THREAT. The second is a repudiation of his previous claims that he is a one-man operation.
:Unquote
Les Visible’s threat can be read directly here: Reflections in a Petri Dish
More at: Lasha Darkmoon’s website, for anyone interested.
Lisa Guliani says:
As I suspected when I wrote this article, the Kennedy Grey fluff piece on Rense was based upon info from one source only: Rense himself.
Jeff Rense: A Reinvention of What?
by Lisa Guliani
http://www.wingtv.net/thorn2006/rense1.html
Rense subsequently threatened his former employer Patsy Smullin with a $500,000. lawsuit if she didn’t retract her statements made to me about him and in addition, add additional statements in praise of him as well, in order to make this lawsuit go away. He also threatened to sue me, but you can’t get blood out of a rock, so nothing came of that nonsense, even though his lawyer did contact me.
All it did was inspire another article exposing the coercion and intimidation tactics employed by Jeff Rense.
I’m happy that someone found Kennedy Grey and cleared this article up.
I tried to find him years ago, without success.
Thanks for sharing this very interesting information. Great stuff…:-)
Lisa Guliani
Come on. I never trusted this cat from the get-go. One look at this douche bag’s picture told me everything I needed to know about him the first time I saw it many moons ago.
Les Visible says:
Heh heh, you Ouija Board nutjobs are something else. I brewed tea before I came to visit? A lie …and extracted from hearsay and not even author attributed. Warrants out for my arrest? Ridiculous. Have any of you met me other than reading about me at the Ouija Board Wonderland? No. Diabolus (the Devil) taken from the Greek means, “slanderer”. I think that says it all. Jesus, most of you don’t even have names and one last thing; “proof is over at Cassiopeia.” Since when did opinion and conjecture and 2nd and 3rd party commentary become proof?

Builders Target Riches with Luxury Apartment Brands
Posted on November 23, 2019 by Korea Bizwire in Business, Construction & Real Estate, Industries with 0 Comments

SEOUL, Nov. 23 (Korea Bizwire) — Branding, among others, may be one of the key selling points for a product, and that’s why South Korean builders are in sync in launching luxury apartment brands, or renewing their brand identities for high-end consumers amid deepening polarization in the local housing market.
Lotte Engineering & Construction Co. last month introduced its premium residence brand LE-EL and decided to use the label on its reconstructed apartments in southern Seoul. The builder’s latest brand sits above its popular apartment brand Lotte Castle, which debuted in 1999.
Daelim Industrial Co., South Korea’s third-largest construction firm in terms of building capacity, earlier this month renewed the brand identity of ACRO, its luxury apartment brand that was introduced in 2013.
The new logo of ACRO doesn’t have an orange cloud, which it previously shared with the builder’s classic apartment brand E-Pyunhan Sesang.
“For the brand renewal, we’ve done research for about two years in areas ranging from interiors to gardening,” a Daelim Industrial spokesman said.
“We’ve analyzed big data on the lifestyles of wealthy people in South Korea and tried to meet their needs.”
Hyundai Engineering & Construction Co., the country’s No. 2 builder, also jumped on the bandwagon last week by unveiling a TV ad for its luxury apartment brand, The H, for the first time since it was launched in 2015.

The builders’ recent moves to launch new brands or renew existing brands are aimed at refreshing their images to make their apartments more appealing to wealthy consumers.
“It’s been 20 years since the builders began naming their apartments with brand titles, and for some people, it’s about time they got bored with existing brands,” said Koh Sung-soo, a professor of real estate studies at Konkuk University in Seoul.
“In the past, living in a branded apartment was considered something prestigious, but nowadays, there are so many. It has been an important task for the builders to differentiate their apartment brands from others.”
Indeed, South Koreans do care about the brand when buying apartments, just like they do when purchasing cars or handbags.
According to a recent survey conducted by local real estate information provider Real Estate 114, 42.6 percent of people answered that brand is their first criterion when selecting an apartment, ahead of the size of the apartment complex (24.3 percent) and price (17.3 percent).
In last year’s survey, 92 percent of people said brand influences the price of an apartment.
“Apartments are such a big product, and it’s almost impossible for consumers to know all the information,” said Lee Bo-ra, a researcher at Korea Research Institute of Construction Policy.
“Like other goods, brand serves as a safeguard for apartment buyers. Living in such a branded residence also gives residents some kind of pride and feeling of self-satisfaction.”

Real estate experts said the rise of premium brand apartments is related with the polarization of the housing market.
According to data from KB Kookmin Bank, the median apartment price in Seoul was 875 million won (US$743,000) in October, while that in non-Seoul metropolitan areas was only 148 million won.
In wealthy districts in Seoul, such as Gangnam Ward, some apartments are now worth more than 100 million won per 3.3 square meters.
“Builders have to cope with the polarizing trend in the housing market, and one of their strategies is to target wealthy people,” said Ham Young-jin, who leads the big-data lab at the housing application Jikbang.
“Even if the economy is not doing well, luxury brands always have demand because there are high-end consumers. Like other luxury goods, people know that brand determines the value of a product, so that makes the builders come up with new luxury brands.”
Industry watchers said the builders’ recent brand strategy is also part of their efforts to win apartment redevelopment or refurbishing projects, especially in wealthy districts in Seoul.
“These days, it’s difficult for the builders to secure land to build apartments and that made them turn their eyes to reconstruction or refurbishing projects,” said Kwon Il, a researcher at local real estate information provider Real Estate Info.
“Against this backdrop, apartment brand matters to those who push the redevelopment projects, as well as future residents. In order to earn their selection, local builders have to make their brand more attractive.”
Experts said that luxury brand apartments will not make an immediate breakthrough in improving earnings for the builders, who have been also struggling to win overseas orders, but will eventually help them in the future.
“Builders first want to show and earn reputation that their apartments are worth to live in or buy, with new brands,” said Kwon Dae-jung, a professor of real estate studies at Myongji University in Seoul.
“They know sales and profits will grow after that process. It’s a long-term plan.”

Districts creation to feature in talk Can there be a meeting point ?
Tripartite talk between the State Government and the UNC under the aegis of the Central Government at New Delhi after January 26. Let UNC president Gaidon Kamei lead the UNC team and let the talk be held either at New Delhi or in one of the Naga dominated districts. Conditions laid down by the UNC for the proposed talk to fructify. With the Court ruling that Gaidon Kamei, who is presently serving a prison term, agreeing that he may lead the UNC team, all eyes will definitely be set on the proposed talk. The important question however is whether an agreement can be inked or arrived at during the proposed talk. The UNC has already made it clear that the creation of the seven new districts should be on the agenda of the dialogue and when this features in the talk, what will be the stand of the UNC and the State Government ? Interesting question this is, for will the UNC ask the State Government to roll back the district creation decision ? Or what other points vis-a-vis the creation of the seven new districts can the UNC discuss with the State Government ? How about the Centre ? Will it just facilitate the talk or will it take a proactive role ? Other than the district creation what other points may be discussed ? It is also important to question whether the proposed talk can bring an end to the ongoing economic blockade. Tough to find an answer to this, but ultimately this is what the people would want to hear. This is basically the reason why the people are eagerly awaiting the result of the proposed talk.
Given the issue at hand, it is difficult to even entertain the thought that a resolution may be worked out during or after the dialogue. This in all probability will mean that the State will go to polls in the shadow of the economic blockade, or will the blockade be relaxed in view of the upcoming Assembly election ? The answer is probably not, if one goes by what a leader of the UNC had to say to Firstpost, the report which The Sangai Express carried. “We do not prioritise the election, but we prioritise the issue of integrity of the ancestral land of the Nagas” is what the UNC leader reportedly told the Firstpost. A more than enough indication that there is no way the ongoing economic blockade may be relaxed in view of the coming Assembly election. If no resolution can be worked out during the proposed tripartite talk at New Delhi, then does this mean that the State will go to polls in the midst of the economic blockade ? Not a comfortable question, but certainly a question which must be raised and at the risk of repeating an earlier point, let it be clear that the longer the economic blockade is imposed, the more favourable the ground will be for the Congress and Chief Minister O Ibobi. A plain point which should not miss the consciousness of the UNC.

About KMS
History tells us his fate… now relive his journey
Submitted by KMS Admin on Thu, 02/03/2017 - 18:06
by Kevina Hayes
Some stories are so great, so epic in their impact and poignancy that they stretch through the annals of time. The case of Leo Frank is one such story. Was he a monster, capable of killing a child and deserving of his fate, or an innocent man who became the scapegoat for a society overflowing with resentment towards rich, Jewish factory owners, a public outcry over the exploitation of child workers and a ruthless, unmerciful media culture? This tragically captivating story is at the heart of the musical, “Parade”, Kilkenny Musical Society’s show choice for 2017.
This group of local performers, renowned for their insightful dramatic portrayals as evidenced by previous successes The Hired Man, Michael Collins: A Musical Drama, Sweeney Todd and most recently The Full Monty, take on this monumental show which is guaranteed to carry it’s audiences along on a wave of triumph, despair, hope and anger. Combined with an epic score, reminiscent of the haunting anthemic pieces of Michael Collins in 2014, Parade is a show that will leave an indelible print on those who experience it.
The stellar cast lined up to recreate one of the most infamous trials in American history is of equally epic proportions. Michael Hayes, former winner of the highly coveted Best Actor title at the AIMS national awards for his inspiring portrayal of ‘The Big Fella’ Michael Collins, takes the role of Leo Frank, the troubled protagonist at the epicenter of this compelling tale. History recalls his fate, but Michael reignites Leo’s journey from paragon to parasite of society.
Sarah Brennan, firmly established as one of the most talented performers of the Kilkenny Musical theatre scene, will play Lucille Frank, the steadfast wife of a man vilified by a society she was once at the heart of. Sarah’s stage legacy needs little introduction, having commanded the stages of Kilkenny in many pivotal roles such as Mrs Lovett in the society’s 2015 production of Sweeney Todd. Sarah & Michael are sure to prove a formidable pairing as they give us a window into the world of a couple facing the most tragic of futures.
Thomastown native, school girl Caoimhe Kelly, makes her debut with Kilkenny Musical Society, having most recently performed in the fantastic Watergate pantomime Cinderella. Caoimhe takes on the role of Mary Phagan – the young girl whose life is tragically cut short by a violent crime, which brings to the surface, simmering but potent tensions in the community of Atlanta Georgia. Other key characters weaving through this fascinating tapestry of history, tragedy, love and hate are seasoned performers Kevin Reade, playing the part of cut-throat Machiavellian lawyer Hugh Dorsey, eager to make a name for himself with this sensational trial.
Eoghan Fingleton, a Portlaoise native originally but having wowed Kilkenny audiences with his portrayal of Harry Boland in Michael Collins and last year as troubled soon-to-be-stripper Malcolm in the rip roaring success The Full Monty, returns to Parade as local Newspaper editor, Tom Watson who is the 'voice of the southern people'. With many striking resemblances to the cast of Michael Collins in 2014, other featured characters of note will be played by the expertise of Brendan Corcoran, Carlow native David Doyle, Rebecca Murphy and Kevina Hayes, last seen in the role of Cinderella in the highly successful 2017 Watergate pantomime.
At the helm of this highly anticipated performance is a production team of impressive credentials. Christine Scarry, renowned national theatre director & vocal coach returns once more following her triumphs with recent shows, Michael Collins, Sweeney Todd & The Full Monty. Curating the musical expertise of this group of talented performers is the internationally acclaimed David Hayes who is musical director and arranger for the RTE/Shinawill Production 'The Voice of Ireland'. David has also scored original orchestrations for many musical theatre pieces including 'Michael Collins - A musical drama', 'The All-Star Wars' and 'Ikeano'. David also worked as musical director for Riverdance for three years. The final member of the production team is choreographer Nicole McDonald who trained in the highly prestigious Laine theatre arts in London. Nicole has worked extensively as a professional dancer and choreographer throughout the UK & Ireland. Nicole will take the cast & chorus through their paces as they depict the force of a people enraged by tragedy but blinded by prejudice.
In the last number of years Kilkenny Musical Society has been both locally and critically acclaimed for its members’ ability to resonate with the stories they portray and carry their audiences along on a wave of musical and dramatic triumphs. From the heartache of Michael Collins & The Hired Man to the comedic genius of The Fully Monty, this group of local performers excel at what they do. This years production promises to be no different. Tickets are now on sale at the Watergate Box office and via the theatre’s website. Relive the journey of Leo Frank, witness his fate, but be your own decider of his legacy.

Tags: Colmore BID Victoria Square Colmore Estate Colmore Business District Church Street Waterloo Street The Grand Hotel Cofton Nursery Grand Hotel Barwick Street The Grand Hotel Birmingham Parklet
Parklets around the Colmore Business District
In these troubling times, the Colmore BID with Cofton Nursery have installed Parklets outside of various bars and restaurants, so that people can eat and drink outside, but sticking to the current restrictions. Households are not allowed to mix inside and there is the Rule of Six and the 10pm curfew to think about. They are on Colmore Row, Waterloo Street, Church Street and Barwick Street.
View feature View community
These Parklets were out and about around the Colmore BID from late August until at least early October 2020. I'm not sure if they are still there now, what with the weather getting colder. They were located on Colmore Row, Waterloo Street, Church Street and Barwick Street (that I found of them).
COLMORE ROW
Located on Colmore Row in front of the Grand Hotel and opposite Birmingham Cathedral. It was outside of the Liquor Store, Crockett & Jones and 200 Degrees Coffee. Seen on the 29th September 2020.
BARWICK STREET
To the back of the Grand Hotel on Barwick Street was this Parklet. It was on a car parking spot outside of Primitivo Bar & Eatery. Also close to Barclays Bank. You can approach it from Livery Street. Seen on the 9th October 2020.
This Parklet was located on Church Street outside of the Hotel du Vin & Bistro. It was opposite Urban Coffee and Home Cafe Deli. Seen on the 18th September 2020.
The first Parklet to be installed on Waterloo Street was close to Victoria Square and outside of Christchurch House near Purecraft Bar & Kitchen. Also opposite Adam's Restaurant. Seen on the 22nd August 2020.
The second Parklet on Waterloo Street was located outside of Theatrix at 130 Colmore Row, close to Victoria Square. Seen on the 29th September 2020.
There might be a sixth Parklet somewhere in the Colmore BID, but I've not seen or found it yet. So I apologise in advance.

Festival of Light at the Bullring, from St Martin's Square to Rotunda Square
There are five artworks that are lit up after dark from 5pm each evening from the 24th January to the 2nd February 2020 at the Bullring. For the second year running. This time coinciding with Chinese New Year. Talk to the Skies in St Martin's Square. Up St Martin's Walk With Love, Neon Angel Wings and Pulse. And in Rotunda Square is Birds that Fly Around with You.
Another Brumtography meet with Karl Newton and one other member of this Facebook group. It had been raining on and off in the afternoon, so wasn't many of us.
Talk to the Skies - St Martin's Square
Shortly after 5pm on Sunday 26th January 2020, a look at Talk to the Skies by ITHACA Studio. Red, blue and green colours go across the bulbs on the ground. While pink, blue or green on the tube where beams of blue light shoot out into the sky. Selfridges seen behind. Wasn't quite dark enough at this point.
The view from the balcony near Selfridges. This was by 5:50pm. On the right was With Love, the throbing red heart that plays music. More on that further down this post.
From the area behind Chaophraya Thai Restaurant looking to the left, as the beams of blue light shoots into the sky to the left of the spire of St Martin in the Bullring.
Back to the Selfridges balcony area, sometime after 6pm. The colours keep chaging down there, and the heart keeps beating.
The beams of light goes so high above the spire of St Martin in the Bullring. It is best to see from up here, although you can check it out from St Martin's Square.
With Love - St Martin's Walk
They didn't get the red heart inflated until about 5:30pm on the evening we went. Seen here from down Pulse on St Martin's Walk. With Neon Angel Wings below. It was designed by Franck Pelletier. You can hear a beating heart sound effect and they had music playing, which you could change if you pressed a button.
Tried to get some views of the With Love red heart with the statue of Horatio Nelson. Which has been at the Bullring since 1809 (sculpted by Sir Richard Westmacott), some 4 years after Nelson died at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. Meaning this statue is older than Nelson's Column in London!
There was also a view of the heat with Selfridges, which was lit up orange. I missed seeing it in red for Chinese New Year. I think they should have left the lights red all weekend and not turn it back to orange.
Where the heart is was where the Snow Dome was until the end of the Christmas season.
This view lining the heart up with the Talk to the Skies blue beams and the spire of St Martin in the Bullring. This was one of my Creative Effect photos (trying out different settings).
Neon Angel Wings - St Martin's Walk
Seen down the semi circle tube called Pulse is the Neon Angel Wings by Carla O'Brien. Visitors can pose for selfies with the pair of wings. From this side a bit difficult to get a clear shot without anyone in the way of them.
A bit further down Pulse towards Neon Angel Wings. The wings to the left was near the East Mall while the wings to the right was by the West Mall.
Managed to get a clear view of the wings from the back on St Martin's Walk, looking up towards the Rotunda.
A close up look at one of the set of wings with Pulse seen behind.
From the other side. I think the Bullring malls were closed by 6pm, although it seemed like they had closed earlier than that (due to Sunday trading laws). I'm not sure if the restaurants were still open by then.
Pulse - St Martin's Walk
This semi circle tube of lights is on St Martin's Walk and is by This is Loop. The lights have different patterns. The show lasts 5 minutes, and repeats every 20 minutes.
From the top of St Martin's Walk looking down to the spire of St Martin in the Bullring. A Chinese lady had a facemask on, although that's probably common with Chinese people in this country (and nothing to do with that virus outbreak).
Caught this cyclist heading through the tunnel down St Martin's Walk.
Added a star filter on my camera (which is in one of my cameras Creative effects).
One last look at Pulse, up towards Rotunda Square.
Birds that Fly Around with You - Rotunda Square
At first they were having problems turning the lights on for this Birds feature in Rotunda Square. As you can see it is loads of birds in a circle. By 5:25pm they still were unable to turn it on. It is by Masochism Shimada.
Got several photos up here, before heading down St Martin's Walk and checking out the other light displays at the Bullring.
Later we popped back up St Martin's Walk to check if they were able to turn it on. After 6pm they had managed to get it working. If someone walks around the centre, the lights on the birds follows them around in a anti clockwise direction.
This view of the birds with the Rotunda (I have still not been up).
One more view of the light on the birds going around in circles.
We spent well over an hour going up and down checking out the Festival of Light features. It was good but very cold. And worth seeing as I missed seeing the 2019 Festival of Light after dark (I only saw it in the daylight hours). So this made up for it.

Popped back on New Year's Day 2020, but they were closed. So returned several days after that and met the couple behind The BCAG. At Arena Birmingham.

The Birmingham Contemporary Art Gallery opened on the 5th December 2019, in the units above the Legoland Discovery Centre Birmingham, at Arena Birmingham. There are steps to the left to get up there. Or use the main steps from King Edwards Road and walk all the way around.
First spotted it on the 27th December 2019, on a photo walk around town with Karl Newton.
Found them on Twitter The BCAG and Instagram The BCAG. And they are now following / liking my photos. Thanks very much. They now have their own People with Passion page at The Birmingham Contemporary Art Gallery.
New Year's Day 2020 on the 1st January 2020, I decided to find where they were, and how to get to them. Got on from the Arena Birmingham steps near King Edwards Road. But you have to go around to the right, as no access to the left from there. Just headed all the way around until I found them.
Found these steps nearby, which would be easier for future visits.
Sign in the door. BCAG. But they were not open this day.

Tried again visiting on the 4th January 2020, and this was when I met them in person. Sarah Wallace & Albert Wallace. First off, a look around the gallery.
Metal figures, not sure what to make of them. Prefer the paintings on the walls though.
Art of the Bullring Bull.
Painting in a gold frame near the window. Another pair on the floor.
Metal vase on a glass topped table.
Was a lot of bright sunshine, leading to shadows that day.
More shadows over the paintings and figures.
BCAG sign near the entrance with pictures nearby.
White leather sofa in the corner. The Lego Giraffe outside looking in.
Lampshade with a curved arm. With bright sunshine outside. They have a nice view of the canal and Brindleyplace from here.
One last look at the gallery before I left.
Before I left, they wanted me to take a few photos of them. Near the Bullring Bull but a lot of shadows here.
More shadows and light, a bit better in this direction.
One more with the BCAG sign.
14th January 2020 and at the Birmingham We Are event. Jonathan Bostock introduces the Lord Mayor of Birmingham (for 2019-20) to the team behind The BCAG.
These artworks were at the Council House during the BWA annual event, I think they might be from BCAG (but am not sure). Near where Gloriana was. This painting reminds me of Gozer, the evil ghost from the end of the original Ghostbusters film.
These little trees in frames are definitely from The BCAG. And the other figures. Plus they had their card on the table to the left.
This one also near the Gloriana sign. Looks like a bald African girl.

Birmingham We Are at the Council House (14th January 2020)
The annual Birmingham We Are event was held at the Birmingham Council House in the presence of the Lord Mayor on Tuesday 14th January 2020. Once again in the Banqueting Suite and Drawing Room. Birmingham We Are People with Passion had their photos on display. And BWA's Elliott Brown and Daniel Sturley won awards! Thank you very much. Plus various Birmingham organisations were present.
Postponed from the 3rd December 2019 (due to the General Election) to the 14th January 2020. The annual Birmingham We Are event. A Celebration of a City with Community was held once again in the Banqueting Suite and Drawing Room.
At this end they were showing a slideshow presentation with our photos on Birmingham We Are.
Looking towards the Drawing Room. Packed at this point.

Quite busy at both ends. Lots of tables with various Birmingham organisations with art on display.
The likes of the Canal & River Trust and Birmingham Museums Trust were represented in the Drawing Room.
Gloriana the Elizabethan dancers with their official photographer in his interesting looking costume. More on them in another post.
By this point, a few tables had been cleared, and many people had already left the Council House. At the far end of the Drawing Room was the gallery of photos by Birmingham's People with Passion (including my own).
One last look before leaving the Council House. Was a lot of standing around.

Collective wisdom re IVA application
russbost - 14/4/20 at 11:13 AM
Thought I'd bounce this one off you guys, see what the LCB collective comes up with!
I was approached a while back, due to my reputation as a maverick & non conformist by a guy who's putting a race car on the road & was asking me about the various IVA categories.
This is a Saker sports car, built around 2010, used as a race car; now he's modifying it for road use, so has changed seat belt mount positions, added handbrake, steering column u/j's, got lights at right positios, sorted a CAT & BET's emissions etc etc
He's an amateur so I suggested it should go in as an amateur build, but of course most of the car was already built by professionals (Saker), the other obvious alternative being class C as a professional build, same test, as it has to have CAT test due to engine age anyway. However, cat C says " built from parts from a vehicle already registered" which of course it isn't as it's a race car! That wording doesn't appear in the amateur build classification. So he thought perhaps it goes in as class R, which is anything not fitting the above categories.
At this point he (foolishly in my view!) got in touch with DVSA or VOSA or whatever they are calling themselves now, & emailed, not really expecting a reply, they did however reply to the effect that if it was over 10 years old then it doesn't require IVA, it can simply be registered with DVLC, now I'm quite sure that's wrong, (if it wasn't there'd be a lot more ex race cars on the road!) but anyway his car was 8 months younger than 10 years so doesn't apply (though of course it WILL be 10 years old later this year!). He then suggested to them that it would be class R, apparently to qualify for class R you have to provide all sorts of documentary proof regarding the build quality & standards it's been built to, which of course he doesn't have, at which point they've said that as it doesn't fit a category then he wouldn't be able to apply for a test!!!
This is why I never attempt to talk to authorities first, just present them with a fait accompli!
I still think it should go in as a class A - it is an amateur vehicle as he's not a professional builder - I know some of you guys have been challenged on the amateur built status if you don't have documentary proof/pics etc. showing the whole build process
Thoughts of the collective please? & yes, I know he ain't gonna get a test anytime soon, but just trying to get ducks in a line for when he can.
loggyboy - 14/4/20 at 11:20 AM
Iva doesnt need to know the history. They only care about the engine age. Id just stick it in as an amatuer build then when it came to reg stick it in for a Q plate which the dvla wont care about the history, thats half the point of the q system.
Ignore the saker and ex race history aa that just muddies the waters.
SPYDER - 14/4/20 at 12:22 PM
The 10 year rule does exist. My friend attempted to cite it whilst registering his "barn find" kit car which had stood since the mid 90's unregistered. The DVLA dug in their heels and said that the only proof they could accept that the car was in fact "complete" over ten years ago was an MOT cert. They were unable to point to any legislation to back this up though. My friend went through supposedly "independant" review followed by some sort of arbitration then contacted his MP and finally the Parliamentary Ombudsman. All sided with the DVLA. The car is now nearly ready for IVA.
If the car in question has an RAC logbook bearing the car's chassis number then I would say he could well be home and dry once the ten year rule is satisfied. He'll need to pass an MOT though.
If they've offered him this avenue he should take it.
I'm amazed there aren't more ex race cars getting registered too.
russbost - 14/4/20 at 12:43 PM
My understanding of the 10 year rule was that it applied only to vehicles previously registered elsewhere, or vehicles intended for road use that hadn't been registered for whatever reason, I've never heard of anyone getting a race car older than 10 years legitimately registered without going thro' IVA.
My/his concern re applying as amateur application is that IIRC there is a form you have to fill in stating what of the car you've built, stuff like steering, transmission, engine etc. to which all of his (truthful) answers would have to be no, tho', ridiculously if he takes parts off & then refits them he can genuinely claim to have built those areas!

... if he takes parts off & then refits them he can genuinely claim to have built those areas!
This is fairly standard advice to those buying a kit they haven't built themselves. Take it apart and do a "photo" rebuild.
Re. the ten year rule your understanding is broadly the same as mine. If the car has an RAC logbook they may look upon this as some form of "documented "registration.
My friend had build photos and a letter from the seller along with other admittedly "circumstantial" evidence to back up his claim. All were ignored. They were looking for documented proof which an RAC logbook may provide.
He'd be mad not to explore this avenue, especially if they are suggesting it.
mackei23b - 14/4/20 at 08:48 PM
I recently registered a 2005 Caterham that was a race car (previously unregistered) - I stripped and rebuilt the car with pictures - (rebuilt and modified to comply with the IVA). I then was able to submit as an amateur rebuild.
I hope this helps
swanny - 16/4/20 at 08:13 AM
how far do they expect you to strip the car back? i have a mate in a similar situation where taking it apart may be the only route.
mackei23b - 16/4/20 at 11:21 AM
Have a look at the IVA 4 form - self build declaration it says:
Please indicate which of the major components below have been fitted to the chassis/body by you or individuals acting on your behalf who are not in the business of building vehicles.
Though it does not give guidance on how many need to be ticked - For a Caterham the body is already part fitted - it's just the wings that you fit so you should be OK with most of the body panels still on the car

Hear a Previously Unreleased Version of Chris Cornell's "Only These Words"
It comes in honour of his daughter Toni Cornell's 16th birthday
Toni Cornell — the daughter of Soundgarden hero Chris Cornell — is celebrating her 16th birthday today. And in honour of the occasion, the late musician's estate has shared a previously unreleased version of his song "Only These Words."
The song originally appeared on 2015's Higher Truth, but you can now hear the original version of the track down below. It comes via a touching clip as well, showing a series of moving family images of the father and daughter together.
"Your dad would be so proud of the smart, strong, beautiful, and confident woman you are growing up to be. You are so very loved, and you give so much love, freely and unconditionally," Vicky Cornell wrote in the caption of the Instagram post.
"And to celebrate you with everyone — I'm sharing part of daddy's original version of 'Only These Words' Happy 16th Birthday, Toni!"
Check out the previously unreleased version of "Only These Words" below.
Toni, Your dad would be so proud of the smart, strong, beautiful, and confident woman you are growing up to be. You are so very loved, and you give so much love, freely and unconditionally. Your first sentence was "I love you" to your baby brother when you first met him. As your dad so perfectly sang and what it's always all about - "Only these three words repeating…I love you..." Continue to do great things, my sweet girl. He is always with you! And to celebrate you with everyone- I'm sharing part of daddy's original version of "Only These Words" Happy 16th Birthday, Toni! ❤️ Mama @vickycornell, @tonivasil, @cball.cnc

Acceptance of enrolment at Merredin College assumes an agreement between the College, parents/guardians and the enrolling student that the dress code will be followed.
The Department of Education Policy on School Dress Code allows schools to make the wearing of school uniform a requirement. It has been found that the wearing of a school uniform brings with it many benefits, such as the promotion of the school’s public image; an enhanced school spirit; a reduction in rivalry between students; an increase in convenience and cost saving for parents; and preparation for work environments which have dress and safety codes.
At Merredin College a Dress Code Policy has been established after much consultation with all stakeholders. The policy has been formulated to meet the needs of the students, their families and the school.
The P&C fully supports the policy and it has been endorsed by the Merredin College Board.
Dress Code Requirements
Any changes including additional items (e.g. special jackets) must be endorsed by Merredin College Board.
The following table outlines all acceptable School Uniform Items of clothing.

Navy Tracksuit Jacket, micro fibre zip up with emerald inserts and piping.
Navy Blue Plain Polar Fleece Scarf
Footwear worn to Merredin College will be enclosed, lace up or velcro, sport or a dress shoe style in black, appropriate for curriculum participation. No skates, flats, sandals or canvas slip-on type shoes are to be worn to comply with occupational health and safety standards. Sneakers must be worn for physical education classes or school sport representation.
Physical Education Uniform
The Physical Educational uniform is compulsory for all Year 7-12 students. The wearing of any physical education uniforms to regular classes (e.g. Science), or to and from school is not permitted (unless by prior approval for special events such as carnivals). As an exception, primary students may choose to wear their allocated house/faction shirts to school on the days that they have Physical Education classes. Primary students are permitted to change into and out of their sport uniform if desired. All students are required to wear their faction/house shirts at Merredin College sports’ carnivals.
Hats must be worn during Physical Education classes. Primary students are to be encouraged to wear the navy surf style hat for better sun protection.
Physical Education uniforms are available from the P & C Uniform Shop and consist of the following:
House/Faction Shirts:
Polo Shirts in gold (Mitchell), cherry (Growden), jade (Kelly) and royal blue (Law). House/faction Shirts should be embroidered with the Merredin College crest.
Sports’ Shorts:
College sport shorts are plain navy, quick-dry polyester draw string shorts in either long or short length
Tracksuits:
The Merredin College tracksuit pants and/or jackets may be worn during the cooler months for Physical Education lessons or Sports’ carnivals and as a part of the regular school uniform. The top is a water repellent microfibre zip up jacket in dark navy with emerald inserts and piping. Pants are made of the same fabric with emerald piping down the outside leg.
Year 12 School Leavers' Jumper / Jacket
Each year, the School Leadership group may approach the Merredin College Board to gain approval for the purchase of a School Leavers’ jumper or jacket that may be worn by Year 12 students as part of their approved uniform. The design must incorporate the College colours of navy, aqua and gold and an embroided school crest should be included.
Other Special Jackets / Shirts
For camps (such as the Canberra Camp), other excursions and Country Week, students may elect to select and design a jacket to wear on camp. This must be presented to Merredin College Board for approval and should be in the College colour palette. Once the camp is over, the item must not be worn to school.
Formal School Representation
Students and School Councillors Representing Merredin College in an official capacity will wear their full school uniform, including a blazer and tie. The blazer shall be navy blue with the school crest embroidered on the pocket. The tie shall be navy blue with aqua and gold pin stripes. These items will be purchased as a school set by the College and will be loaned to students.
Each student is required to have a hat. For K-6 this is a navy surf style hat and for Year 7-12 a navy cap has been chosen by the students. Merredin College is embroidered on the hats — on the front for the K-6 students and at the back for the Year 7-12 students.
Scarves are permitted during cold weather but they must be the school uniform scarf available through the uniform shop.
Hairstyles and colours should be conservative. Make-up is discouraged.
For reasons pertaining to safety, dog chains, collars and wristbands with spikes and studs are discouraged. For safety reasons, long dangling earrings are not suitable for school wear. Earrings should be confined to small hoops or studs. At the discretion of staff, students may be asked to tape up earrings during sport, recess and lunch activities.
The school is bound by 104A of the Children and Community Services Act 2004 which relates to body piercing. Piercings of the nose, eyebrow, lip, chin, cheek or neck are not allowed. This includes implants and any piercings deemed inappropriate. A piercing that is not visible or is not considered a safety or health hazard will generally not concern the school unless the student draws attention to it. If it becomes a problem, the student will be required to remove the piercing. Failure to do this will result in disciplinary action. Having a body piercing is NOT a legitimate excuse for not participating in physical education activities at Merredin College.
Dress Code Management
Students who do not meet the College’s dress code on a given day are required to report to the Deputy Principal. Their names will be recorded and they will be issued with a Uniform pass. Students who attend classes without the correct uniform and without a uniform pass will be sent to Student Services and a consequence will be applied. Repeat offenders may be asked to change into a loaned uniform
Dress code infringements will be recorded and monitored. Non-compliance with the dress code will be taken into account when attendance at various extracurricular College social and sporting events is determined. Parents will be advised when infringements meet an unsatisfactory level.
Parents/carers who for financial reasons are unable to provide the correct school uniform for their child/ren are encouraged to contact Student Services.
Availabilty of Uniforms
All items of school uniform are available at reasonable costs through the Merredin College P & C Association’s Uniform Shop located in an office of the Administration Block. Uniforms are to be pre-ordered and payment must be by cash or cheque.
Where parents wish to purchase uniform items from other sources (bottoms only as they have no logo), they must conform to the style sold by the uniform shop.
Financial assistance is available to low-income families to enable them to meet dress code expectations. Families eligible for Health Care cards that complete the Secondary Assistance forms available may receive funding to assist in the purchase of school uniforms.

NYC Elementary School Students to Return to In-Person Classes Next Monday
by Wayne Curry | December 01, 2020 | 00:47
With many parents struggling to care for their children at home and with data showing the virus largely spares young children, the city will abandon the 3 percent test positivity threshold that it had adopted for closing the school system, the largest in the country, with 1.1 million children.
Cuomo said Thursday that there are about 54,000 hospital beds now available in New York State, despite projecting a need for 120,000.
Under the new plan, preschoolers and students up to fifth grade will return to classrooms December 7.
The city, home to over a million schoolchildren, was once the epicenter of the pandemic, the disease spreading quickly through densely populated working-class neighborhoods.
Cuomo is also releasing the latest COVID-19 numbers for the state.
But the state will add hospitalization metrics - including number of people hospitalized and staff availability - to the formula.
"Upon reopening, weekly COVID-19 testing will be in effect and testing consent forms will be required for our students to return", de Blasio tweeted.
Other strategies included a focus on effective testing, "keeping schools open" for K-8 students, developing an equitable vaccination program that provides access to minority communities, and educating the public about the dangers posed by small gatherings.
Of 148,974 COVID-19 tests reported on Sunday in NY state, 6,819 were positive, or 4.57 percent of the total, up from 4.27 percent one day earlier, tweeted Governor Andrew Cuomo on Monday. De Blasio added that the city will address when middle school and high school students can return in the near future.
"So basically elementary schools get a reprieve for another two weeks and then go back and when they go back, still only 20% will be tested and still early childhood kids will not be tested?!"
On Sunday, De Blasio made the announcement in a news briefing.
During his news conference, Cuomo shared a quote that said: "Tough times don't last because tough people outlast them".
Michael Mulgrew, the president of the United Federation of Teachers, said in a statement that the labor union was supportive of the mayor's phased reopening so long as "stringent testing was in place".
The mayor said the plan was to have in-person learning five days a week.
A parents group called #KeepNYCSchoolsOpen praised the mayor's reopening plan but said it doesn't go far enough. "But the mayor has left behind 145,000 kids in grades 6-12, without any explanation or timeline for reopening". More than 9,300 New York City residents have tested positive for the virus over the past seven days. De Blasio is also softening his push for all students up to 12th grade having the option to learn in-person, instead focusing on letting younger children and students with disabilities, who require more direct support, back in the classroom.

Trudeau says former North Atlantic Treaty Organisation commander will lead COVID-19 vaccine rollout

GRINDPAD - Sharkbite.mp3
Grindpad: Putting’ back the violence in Metal In autumn of 1986 (ok, 2006…), guitarist JG was asked by some local musicians to join a metal project. An on & off thing, nothing serious by that time. The name Grindpad was mentioned every now and then. After a few months, Axel joined the (then still nameless) project. Although it was more of a Death/Grind-band back then, JG and Axel soon realized that this Grindpad project was the perfect vehicle for them to use, to release for their hunger to make old-school violent Metal. Bored to death by the whole new wave of the countless gutless, whiny, death/core/fashion/whatever-bands, they knew that there was a place for them to bring the aggression back in Metal, as if it were a 1985 Exodus show! From mid-2007 on, Grindpad became the official name, and the machine started rolling. Cool shows and two EP’s, leading Grindpad to win the Dutch Metal Battle in 2010. More shows followed among which were Occult Fest and shows supporting Bolt Thrower, Benediction & Tankard. Bandmembers came & went, but the two-guitar-assault-engine (JG & Axel) always stayed the same. Then, in 2011 the machine collapsed when three out of five members left... Instead of quitting, JG & Axel were more determined than ever to keep the monster alive. It didn’t need to be ‘brought back’; it was never dead… Having never been fully satisfied with the musical direction, they decided that now was the time to switch one hundred percent towards the music that they always wanted to bring: violent, aggressive, old-school, non-melodic, merciless, hacking THRASH! The philosophy being: one Slayer / Exodus / Pantera song destroys an entire deathcore-army in terms of sheer energy and aggression. In 2012 Olivier and Remy joined Grindpad. With Olivier’s aggressive vocals and Remy’s pounding low bulldozer sound, the whole band was in the right mindset, and started writing an entire new set of songs. To help out on drums Paul Beltman (River of Souls, Ex-Sinister, ex-Judgement Day) was willing to put in his aggressive no-nonsense drums and Grindpad was ready to attack again. 2016 saw the release of the Sharkbite! EP together with a great video for the title track. Grindpad delivered on the promise of fast, furious, violent and fun thrash metal. The EP saw critical acclaim and great reviews around the world. Not resting after that Grindpad proved they can take that party on the road. Playing a number of great shows across 2016 and 2017. But no rest for the wicked and a full-length album was being worked on. With the album slated for release in 2019 the future has never looked brighter. Grindpad aims for the things that are mostly neglected in Metal nowadays: Aggression, violence, anger. That is what Metal is all about (and always should be). Nothing less. And man does Grindpad get it…

Adrien Broner secures victory over Taylor, wins by decision. Could Broner-Pacquiao be made?
8 Submitted by Jenna J on Sun, 07 September 2014, 12:47
Saturday night at the U.S. Bank Arena in Cincinnati, Ohio, Adrien ‘The Problem’ Broner made his return to the ring as he took on fellow light welterweight contender, Emmanuel ‘Tranzforma’ Taylor. Broner was touted as heir to Floyd Mayweather before he met Argentinean slugger, Marcos Maidana on December of 2013. Following the loss to Maidana, ‘The Problem’ moved back down in weight and captured the vacant WBA international light welterweight title by defeating Carlos Molina earlier in the year, and was looking to recapture the hype and momentum he carried prior to his first loss.
Emmanuel Taylor came into the fight with an 18-2 record, his biggest victory coming over Karim Mayfield earlier in the year. The relatively unknown Taylor was a significant underdog but was looking to make a big statement in the biggest fight of his career.
As the action kicked off, Emmanuel Taylor looked to take the fight to the Cincinnati native, throwing quick combinations at Broner. ‘The Problem’ did well defensively and looked to counter with shots of his own. Both fighters seemed evenly matched after the first round.
The second round saw Taylor take a page out of Marcos Maidana’s playbook by pressuring and pinning Adrien Broner up against the ropes. Once the fight moved from the center of the ring to the ropes, Broner became very defensive and his punch output significantly dropped. A lot of inside fighting took place, with both fighters looking to mix punches to the head and body, but Emmanuel Taylor being the busier of the two.
The challenger once more came out looking to bring the fight to Broner in round three, throwing a good volume of strikes from the start of the round. One thing that was evident was the hand speed edge that Adrien Broner possessed, which allowed him to sneak in quick counters, primarily his sharp left hook. The champion opened up towards the tail end of the round, but allowed Taylor to dictate the pace of most of the round.
In round four, Taylor abandoned the gameplan that gave him success in the prior rounds. This time he chose to keep the fight in the center of the ring and did not apply the same amount of pressure. As a result, Broner had a very good round. ‘The Problem’ showed off his boxing ability and largely outboxed Emmanuel Taylor, mixing in solid power punches. Adrien Broner’s best round of the fight to that point.
Noticing his lack of success in the fourth round, ‘Tranzforma’ stepped on the gas pedal once again in rounds five and six, pressuring Broner and keeping the fight at close quarters. Emmanuel was able to land the overhand right that he had been looking for, catching Broners attention. The major criticism of Broner is his lack of output anytime he is put on the defensive, and it was on display again. Taylor won both the fifth and sixth, mainly by being the busier fighter.
The seventh round was a pivotal point in the fight, as Emmanuel Taylor appeared to slow down a bit. As seen in earlier rounds, anytime Broner was given the chance to attack, he would. In the center of the ring, Adrien Broner was the better fighter and just had a more diverse attack. Broner controlled the action in rounds seven through nine. Taylor still had his moments, but it was not enough to win him the rounds.
In the tenth round, Broner showed off his footwork — something he doesn’t often put on display. He pivoted off the ropes and made his opponent come after him. There was a sense of urgency in the challenger’s corner, and he came out throwing hard power punches, occasionally landing one, but his power did not bother Adrien Broner much. Broner closed the last 30 seconds of the tenth round in emphatic fashion, unleashing an impressive combination that turned things in his favor.
Round eleven was a fairly even round, Taylor was pressuring but not to the degree that he had in the early rounds. During an exchange, the two fighters clashed heads and a cut opened over the right eye of ‘The Problem’ — the first cut of his career.
Emmanuel Taylor recognized he was behind on points and came out in the twelfth round looking to land something that would change the course of the fight. All Adrien Broner had to do was ride out the remainder of the round and he would get the victory, but he didn’t just box. As the round wore on, Broner landed the best punch of the night, a left uppercut that jolted the head of the challenger and sent him to the canvas. That punch alone killed off any doubt as to who deserved to win the fight. ‘Tranzforma’ got up and finished the fight, but even he knew that he had fallen short of the win.
With the emphatic finish by Broner, his stock remains high, and while he showed many of his faults in the ring, he also showed why he is a former 3 division world champion that has the potential to return to the top of the sport. In Broner’s post fight interview, he expressed his desire to face hard hitting Argentinean boxer, Lucas Matthysse. Matthysse fought on the same card, winning by second round KO over Roberto Ortiz, in less than stellar fashion.
Broner vs. Matthysse would be an intriguing fight match up that may show shades of Broner’s fight with Maidana. While Matthysse is a hard hitter like Maidana, he is also more controlled in the ring, so it would be interesting to see if Broner learned anything in his last three bouts, and can improve on his weakness fighting backwards and dealing with pressure that makes him vulnerable to a fighter like Lucas Matthysse.
Another fight that could be explored would a fight with Manny Pacquiao. The fight has been talked about before in the past, but the promotional situation of both men was a constant road block. Things have changed and Goldenboy promotions is now open to working with Top Rank, so a potential fight between Pacquiao and Broner could be made and fans could see how Pacquiao would do with a slick, fast counter punching style. The fight itself would be a major PPV attraction.
Whatever direction Adrien Broner goes next, there is no shortage of options, as he is still a big star in this sport and is a fighter that people want to see in the ring. Some want to see him fight, only to watch him lose, and others want to see the skills and bravado. ‘The Problem’ remains an attraction, and must see TV.

Jr Hennessy says:
Why not.cash him out.. he will make 4 m..he has lost already no need to protect him anymore..pac or a ppv wit danny is where they need to go
The problem with Broner is he’s the problem.
Caloy says:
Hahaha..You nailed it Tony..
The problem with Broner is he is like his old ducking brother, Gayweather, The fight may not be happen because he is scared to lose again.
If that fight happens, Broner will become humbled man! He will definitely respect Pacquiao after that..
Hardcock says:
Jenna, are you on drugs?
erap says:
Bring on Broner if he has the guts unlike his old Bro.
Manny will surely TKO this guy to lure May to avenge. But then it’s a tall order.
I’d rather have Pac-Maidana if ever Maidana kicks Floyd’s ass.

Garden of the Gods Visitor and Nature Center undergoes complete renovation
BY LIZ COBB
About the only thing that remains the same at the Garden of the Gods Visitor and Nature Center is the magnificent view from the observation deck. The center has been completely transformed, a project spanning two years, and visitors are in for a fun, educational and breathtaking experience when it opens later this month.
“We wanted to bring more technology to the center but at the same time keep a balance of things you can only experience here,” says Paul Bernhard, an internationally renowned exhibit designer. His company, Paul Bernhard Exhibit Design and Consulting, headed up the project utilizing some 65 artisans, designers, manufacturers and experts headquartered all over the world.
From a new 3-D topographic map to the Wall of Changing Seasons, there are nearly 25 new additions to experience at the center. “It won’t be recognizable to anyone who has been here previously,” Bernhard says. “The Garden of the Gods is a convergence of diverse ecosystems and we wanted the center to have exhibits that complement your visit to the park.”
The three new feature exhibits – Geology, Flora and Fauna, and People and History – will greet visitors as they come through the new entrance to the center. Geology provides an explanation of the Garden of the Gods rock structure and features a realistic dinosaur display, while Flora and Fauna is made up of a stunning wall display of illuminated glass boxes suspended in space, each depicting life-size native park animals and plants. Visitors can also view animal tracks and scat to help them identify the real thing when exploring in the outdoor park area. Lastly, People and History explains who the earliest inhabitants were to the park. All exhibits include touch screens and hand-on displays for deeper learning and fun.
The new Geo-Trekker theatre is reminiscent of a Disney theme-park ride. The theatre replicates the inside of a time machine and offers a trip through time and space to see how the Garden of the Gods was formed. The show, displayed on huge screens, lasts 12 minutes.
And visitors won’t want to miss the new Time Tunnel, a walk through Colorado’s geological history. The graphics, which are digitally enhanced paintings, are mesmerizing with the amount of detail and 3-D effects they convey.
While the center added more than 2,000 square feet of space, vast improvements have also been made to existing spaces. The restrooms, gift shop and café all have undergone renovations and the exterior has new landscaping, featuring labeled native gardens for visitors to explore. They also offer guided tours by jeep, van, Segway or foot.

The project was a response to the pandemic. I wanted to allude to the concept of being apart but still remaining connected. The film and photographs are about the connection that remains between two people despite a barrier. It was important to explore human emotion in a powerful, positive and ultimately uplifting way not to be stuck in a nostalgic loop, showing a barrier in a negative way. The strength of the relationship is the focus.
As with my other personal projects I also shot stills to accompany the film. The lighting and colour tones are created during the photographic set up as I am always attempting to recreate my photographic style within the motion work. The stills also were an opportunity to create more static and personal portraits of the two dancers with their unique looks and personalities.
The entire project was shot during the lockdown but after restrictions had been lifted to allow some industry return. Inevitably some of these restrictions would limit what we could achieve but instead I chose to turn this on its head and make these barriers part of the story.
The direction of the film was simple, to leave the dancers opportunities to improvise in the space we had created. There is a meeting, a build up to the connect and inevitably a parting. The physical actions in the film between the two extraordinary dancers are an attempt to convey a mixture of emotions, from frustration, intrigue to excitement with a little sexual tension.

200TH POST: A TREE GROWS IN BROOKLYN
Raise your glass of champagne (or raspberry ginger ale punch, at our place!) to celebrate not only the start of 2009, but the 200th post here at the PlanetEsme Plan! Since the blog's inception, over five hundred titles have been personally reviewed and recommended here, to add to the archive of over a thousand books at the PlanetEsme site (now on the right scrollbar)! So CHEERS, everyone, and heartfelt thanks for your support over the years, as well as your support of HOW TO GET YOUR CHILD TO LOVE READING and my other titles. In honor of my 200th post, I ask that you in indulge me in my soapboxing (bookboxing?) and a more personally grounded review as I share a favorite passage from this, one of my all-time favorite books, one that I can always look at and be reminded of the work that needs to be done in the world, as well to find the inspiration to try and do it.
A TREE GROWS IN BROOKLYN by Betty Smith (Harper). I still remember when my father brought it home for me when I was about twelve years old. The first thing I noticed is that it was 430 pages, or three thumbs thick, and no pictures! But when I finished the last page, I wished there was a magic button I could press that would make 430 more pages appear. Here, in the character of Francie, was my sister, my friend, a girl who lived in the city, who wanted to read all the books in the library, who lied about her address to go to a better school. This book, first published in 1943, is about a second generation Austrian/Irish American family struggling in the slums of Williamsburg, New York at the turn of the last century. It's a book you can read at different times in your life and find something fresh and applicable with every revisit. I re-read it this year, somewhat fearfully, as I wondered if it would be as good as I remembered, but just as it did twenty-five-some years ago, it kept me up at night to turn the pages. I marvel at the book's honesty and insight and sheer beauty, the author's unbelievable capacity to develop so many characters at once and to deliver the reader to a place of caring. I can think of no other book that captures the feeling of being alive so completely, and from so many perspectives. If you only saw Elia Kazan's black-and-white movie version, you are missing a lot! I think this entirely brave masterpiece might be counted as the first contemporary coming-of-age and the young adult novel, written long before the work of the venerable Judy Blume. I was impressed as a young girl to learn that this book when it was first published was given to prison inmates to help them learn empathy. Ahead of its time when it was written, this book deserves to be rediscovered now, and widely included in curriculum.
There are more moving and memorable scenes in this novel than I can count, but one that I always think of in December is when the children, Francie and Neely, win a Christmas tree by withstanding a ritual in which the owner of the local lot thrusts leftovers at courageous volunteers at midnight, and if they can withstand the impact without falling, they may keep the tree. Francie and Neely score the biggest tree of all! As they are bringing the huge, bustling pine up the stairs to their tenement with their cheerful father, their mother, Katie, has an internal soliloquy:
Katie stood alone on the top of the last flight of steps with her hands clasped before her. She listened to the singing. She looked down and watched their slow progress up the stairs. She was thinking deeply.
"They think this is so good," she thought. "They think it's good--the tree they got for nothing and their father playing up to them and the singing and the way the neighbors are happy. They think they're mighty lucky that they're living and it's Christmas again. They can't see we live on a dirty street in a dirty house among people who aren't much good. Johnny and the neighbors can't see how pitiful it is that our neighbors have to make happiness out of this filth and dirt. My children must get pit of this. They must come to more than Johnny or me or all these people around us. But how is this to come about? Reading a page from those books every day and saving pennies in the tin-can bank isn't enough. Money! Would that make it better for them? Yes, it would make it easy. But no, the money wouldn't be enough. McGarrity owns the saloon standing on the corner and he has a lot of money. His wife wears diamond earrings. But her children are not as good or smart as my children. They are mean and greedy towards others because they have the things to taunt poor children with. I have seen the McGarrity girl eating from a bag of candy on the street while a ring of hungry children watched her. I saw those children looking at her and crying in their hearts. And when she couldn't eat any more, she threw the rest down the sewer rather than give it to them. Ah, no, it isn't the money alone. The McGarrity girl wears a different hair bow each day and they cost fifty cents a piece and that would feed the four of us here for one day...My Francie wears no hair bow but her hair is long and shining. Can money buy things like that? No. That means there must be something biggerthan money. Miss Jackson teaches at the Settlement House and she has no money. She works for charity. She lives in a little room there on the top floor. She has only the one dress but she keeps it clean and pressed. Her eyes look straight into yours when you talk with her. When you talk to her, it's like you used to be sick but hearing her voice, it's making you well again. She knows about things--Miss Jackson. She understands aboutthings. She can live in the middle of a dirty neighborhood and be fine and clean and like an actress is a play; someone you can look at but who is too fine to touch. There is that difference between her and Mrs. McGarrity who has so much money...So what is the difference between her and Miss Jackson who has no money?"
An answer came to Katie. It was so simple that a flash of astonishment that felt like pain shot through her head. Education! That was it! It was education that made the difference! Education would pull them out of the grime and dirt. Proof? Miss Jackson was educated, McGarrity wasn't. Ah! That's what Mary Rommely, her mother had been telling her all those years. Only her mother did not have the one clear word: education!
..."Francie is smart," she thought. She must go to High School and maybe beyond that. She's a learner and she'll be somebody someday. Butt when she gets educated, she will grow away from me...Maybe when she gets education, she will be ashamed of me--the way I talk. But she will have too much character to show it. Insteadshe will try to make me different. She will come to see me and try to make me live in a better way and I will be mean to her because I'll know she's above me...Already she is growing away from me; she will fight to get away soon. But Neely will never leave me, and that is why I love him best. He will cling to me and understand me. I want him to be a doctor. He must be a doctor. Maybe he will play the fiddle, too. There is music in him. He got that from his father. Yes, his father has the music in him but it does him no good. It is ruining him. If he couldn't sing, those men who treat him to drinks wouldn't want him around. What good is the fine way he can sing when it doesn't make him or us any better? With the boy, it will be different. He will be educated. I must think out ways. We'll not have Johnny with us long..."
Thus Katie figured out everything in the moments it took them to climb the stairs. People looking up at her---at her smooth pretty vivacious face--had no way of knowing about the painfully articulated resolves formulating in her mind.
Now, with some life behind me and in our modern times, I know there are people who read thousands of books and are well-spoken and educated, but use their fine degrees the way the McGarrity girl uses her candy. Katie knows that education is the catalyst for change, but what Katie doesn't know, can't know from her circumstances, I think, is that education is not an end, but a beginning. I hope that in the New Year, and with all the changes that are expected on the horizon for our country, that we can move from education being a stick of candy to the sweeter look of understanding and compassion in someone's eyes. We can learn to use what bounty we have, and work from the scaffolding that opportunities for education has given us to end the kind of terrible poverty that is described in A TREE GROWS IN BROOKLYN, and that is still so rife. I hope we can make Katie's wish come true for all of the Francies and Neelys in the world. A great book in the hands of a rich child is the same great book in the hands of a poor child. For many children, the authors and characters they connect with through books will be the first people outside of their own communities that they will encounter. For many children, picture books will be the only art education they receive. A child who discovers the magical transport of literature will never be as bored or lonely as the child who has not, and is more likely to succeed in school. So do your part to equalize education, and, as Gandhi suggested, be the change you wish to see in the world: make the resolution to read aloud a book to a child every day!
Another anniversary! Congratulations to friends at Just One More Book on their 500th (!) podcast!!!

BIRD (FICTION)
BIRD by Zetta Elliott, illustrated by Shadra Strickland (Lee & Low Books)
Once I told Uncle Son
I wished I could play the saxophone
like Charlie Parker.
Uncle Son just shrugged.
"That other Bird--he's alright.
But don't you waste your time trying to be like him.
You just remember,
everybody got their somethin'.
And that includes you.
An artistic little boy's family is torn irreparably asunder when the brother he idolizes gets involved with gangs and addicted to drugs. This story sensitively juxtaposes two different approaches to life and urban problems by the two young men, but never resorts to stereotyping, as the grandfather and grandfather's best friend, "Uncle Son," maintain a strength and offer a mentorship that gets the boy through to a future his brother never saw. Also unexpected in this book are the redeeming qualities of the sick brother. Even in his diminished state, he tries to critique his little brother's art constructively, and gives him a gift to help him along, underscoring a goodness and value in all people, even the people who might ultimately let us down. This is a short, complex picture book that makes no attempt to simplify or sugarcoat the issues with which it contends, but still, there is a delicate grace to it, as fine as the pencil drawings that depict Bird's inner, imaginative world, and against a city backdrop that is undeniably beautiful, in spite all of its dangers, to the creative eye that can see it. The motifs throughout that allude to Charlie Parker are like a base line to the theme of the loss that occurs when creative people fall victim to their addictions, a loss not only to their families but to the world.
Throughout this book, I was reminded of some old-school classics like the "sleeper" Newbery Honor winner THE JAZZ MAN by Mary Hays Weik, illustrated by Ann Grifalconi, the spirit of urban jubilance in spite of all odds captured by Vera Williams, the candor and new ground broken by the early picture book work of John Steptoe, the one-two punch of Alice Childress's now dated but still powerful young adult novel A HERO AIN'T NOTHING BUT A SANDWICH, and Hope Anita Smith's more recent THE WAY A DOOR CLOSES, all unflinching, all beautiful. As we approach the award season for children's books, we'll see if BIRD is welcomed into this canon. Whether it is recognized or not, Elliott's offering resonates in the reader, and for all of the seriousness that may make a grown-up balk, it puts into print an important, and unfortunately recognizable, situation for many young people who will be fortified by the high note of hope upon which this sad song finishes. (8 and up)
BIRD may have been inspired by Charlie Parker, but I'm sorry, all through I was feeling Charles Mingus's "Goodbye Pork Pie Hat". But hey, let's not fight and argue...instead, let's riff on BIRD's undercurrent of jazz!
BEFORE JOHN WAS A JAZZ GIANT: A SONG OF JOHN COLTRANE by Carole Boston Weatherford, illustrated by Sean Qualls (Holt) Even jazz giants were children once, and this little be-bop baby knew how to put on his listening ears. Gorgeous angular illustrations are bespeckled with bubbles of music floating through the air, and seem inspired by Picasso's Old Guitarist. This author also has an accomplished young adult novel out this year, BECOMING BILLIE HOLIDAY, illustrated by Floyd Cooper (Wordsong), that is getting lots of buzz but pulls no punches when it comes to the bluest parts of Lady Blue's youth, including turning tricks and smoking weed, so if you have a little jazz bird you might prefer to start with the biographical compilation SOPHISTICATED LADIES: THE GREAT WOMEN OF JAZZ by Leslie Gourse, illustrated by Martin French (Dutton), which gives brief but still honest and inspiring portraits of greats such as Billie, Diana Krall, Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald, Rosemary Clooney, Anita O'Day and many more. Talk about women who knew how to make a joyful noise, in spite of anything! Sing out! (10 and up)
WHEN LOUIS ARMSTRONG TAUGHT ME SCAT by Muriel Harris Weinstein, illustrated by R. Gregory Christie (Chronicle) Oooo, hope you're tongue is in good shape, because it's going to get some double-dutch action in this read aloud, and when you're done, you'll be scattin', cat, and your little listening kitten will be smitten! Christie's retro illustrations really swing, and any time spent with Satchmo is sweet, sweet, sweet. (6 and up)
COOL DADDY RAT by Kristyn Crow, illustrated by Mike Lester (Putnam) A little rat stows away in his father's music case, and joins his daddy through the clubs, rooftops, cruises, parties and street performances on a New York City night. Daddy rat really is cool, just the guide you'd want, and the love and pride the little boy has for his musical dad is a subplot all its own. Loose lines vibrate on the page like a bow to the string. Like a good jazz progression, this author and illustrator makes beautiful music together and they make it look easy, but there is a particularly marvelous artfulness to their combination, and a real love of the city and its rhythms that come through most contagiously. Delightful to read to one child or a whole group, it's bound to be a surprise favorite that bears repeated reading, probably best shared with a big bass strumming in the background...but in its absence, a little exuberant heartbeat will have to do. (5 and up)
Here are a few of my favorite jazz birds,
who stopped by to perform at a children's open mike
I held recently at the Bookroom.

A COLD WINTER'S GOOD KNIGHT (PICTURE BOOK)
A COLD WINTER'S GOOD KNIGHT by Shelley Moore Thomas, illustrated by Jennifer Plecas (Dutton)
"I am colder than a snowball," said the first dragon.
"I am colder than an ice cube," said the second dragon.
"I am colder than a popsicle," said the third dragon.
The dragons' teeth were chattering so loudly that the Good Knight heard the noise all the way to the king's castle. So the Good Knight rode clippety-clop to the dragon's cave.
"Never fear, my dragon friends," he said. "It is warm in the king's castle. Methinks you will be toasty and cozy there."
Taken under this valiant protection of this Good Knight, three truly endearing little dragons join in a wintry party at the castle, only to inadvertently disgrace their guardian by setting the hearth fire to blazing with their fiery breath, hogging the harp, and literally swinging from the chandelier. Once corrected, they are rightly contrite and join the Good Knight in his efforts at gallantry. Just like real little children, sometimes the dragons don't even know they are committing a faux pas, and rise to the occasion when given a second chance. As is fitting for a reading feast, there is some meat on this bone; the author brings her own knowledge of children earned as a schoolteacher and storyteller to her writing. This book is so wintry, so festive, so subtle in its smartness and the expressions of the little dragons on the loose are just plain precious...all in all, this is a gem you will want to revisit long after the snow has been plowed. Luckily, there are many more "Good Knight" stories in the series, proving that chivalry isn't dead, and neither is read-aloud. (5 and up)
More books for dragon slayers and dragon-hooray-ers!
MERLIN'S DRAGON by T.A. Barron (Philomel) The bat-winged lizard in this exciting story is small in size but big on bravery! Basil's challenge is not only to find the legendary Arthurian wizard in order to give him the warning that will save his life, but to face his own fears along the perilous journey. Besides the appeal of a charming, vulnerable small animal whose character is well-developed into the heroic, this book has another great strength: the fact that it is that hard-to-find, age-appropriate fantasy quest for the middle-grade reader, a.k.a. the holy grail of many a librarian's quest. Good humor and rich descriptions of a lushly imagined world round out this first volume in a high-flying trilogy. (10 and up)
SWORDS: AN ARTIST'S DEVOTION by Ben Boos (Candlewick) "Devotion" is not a word written lightly here; the decorative hilts and handles, the well-weighed pommels and the gleaming blades, even a peacenik can't help but appreciate the great craft that went into these warrior tools. Carefully placed descriptions and history inform but never detract, and we are given the full tour of the sword through history and across continents. The detail of the artwork is so textural and vivid, you can almost hear the metallic ringing of a blade pull out of the sheath, and almost feel the carefully adorned indentations, cool beneath your fingers. One of the most beautiful nonfiction books of the year, this title is nothing short of sharp. Pair with A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO DRAGONS COLLECTOR'S SET by Lisa Trutkoff Trumbauer, and you'll have one well-trained squire. (9 and up)
EON: DRAGONEYE REBORN by Alison Goodman (Viking) Hot stuff, a dragon adventure that features a female protagonist! Eona disguises herself as a boy in order to be in the running to serve as the catalyst between the invisible dragons and her kingdom. Drawing from Japanese and Chinese mythology, this sophisticated read plays a lot on complicated court politics. Make sure to introduce Patricia Wrede's clever princess page-turner DEALING WITH DRAGONS and Franny Billingsley's gender-bending coming of age story, THE FOLK KEEPER (both 10 and up), as stepping stones to this high fantasy. (12 and up)
ARTHUR OF ALBION by John Matthews, illustrated by Favel Tatarnikov (Barefoot) I'd be lying if I didn't admit that Marget Hodges' MERLIN AND THE MAKING OF THE KING remains my favorite read-aloud introduction to Arthurian legend, but still, this gorgeous, more generous volume is sure to be a boon to Camelot's enthusiasts and experts, and equally sure to create some new ones. Misty, moody paintings deliver us into the woodsy grove and the world of Percival's grail, Sir Gawain's Green Knight, Tristan's dragon, the magic of Albion, the lure of handsome Lancelot and the lore of the ladies of the court (and the lake), the duplicitous Morgana and the insightful Merlin, this copious Medieval melange of straight narrative and short, descriptive introductions casts a charm that makes a space for every reader at the round table. (9 and up)
Happy Kwanzaa! During this African-American holiday rich with symbolism, my favorite are the ears of corn (vibunzi, suke or muhindi), representing the number of children in the home, or the potential of children. They also represent an acknowledgment towards Native Americans, and the connection to them felt within the African American community. In honor of this idea, whatever your background, we can all get connected by sharing my very favorite, very easy corn pudding recipe that I learned from the most reliable cookbook author Susan Branch:
1 14 oz. can corn, drained
1 14 oz. can creamed corn
1 box jiffy corn muffin mix
1/4 tsp. cayenne
Mix all ingredients, then bake 1 hour at 350 degrees in a buttered 9" baking dish. Delicious served warm with honey or maple syrup!
Two ears of corn for me! Blessings to my son and goddaughter!

We tend to celebrate everything at our apartment, but whatever holidays you celebrate, I hope they were absolutely wonderful. My favorite Christmahanukwanzaakah gift I received this year came from my son, who surprised me very thoughtfully with a Snuggie, which I guess is all over the television ads but he happened to spot it at a department store. It's a blanket with arms, which sounds silly, but actually, all day long every day since I got it, I can't wait to get into it and read Tove Jansson's A WINTER BOOK with the book light that comes in the same box! This Snuggie thing is a crazy indulgent book lover's perfect delight! Plus, you can wear it while you eat your corn pudding, it hides tummies very nicely! And, as a super bonus, you can look like a Franciscan monk draped in polar fleece! Take that, Paris Hilton, once again!!!
As a holiday gift, I sent a couple of my hard-working editors some crushed velvet over-the-knee socks, the kind that I wear everywhere all the time, because they are so toasty when worn over tights that you can wear skirts even in the winter and I figured any woman would want some. A friend pointed out that I probably came off as pretty strange and possibly lascivious by sending them, which hadn't initially occurred to me, but after some worry I trust they were received in the spirit in which they were intended, and fine, maybe I'll just send chocolate next year. At any rate, I hope you'll all treat yourself or someone you love to something cozy, for goodness sakes, get this New Year off on the right foot.

PICTURE BOOK ADVENT
I had an idea! In the countdown to the holidays, there is so much anticipation, but when presents are finally being opened, its hard for books to initially compete with all the battery-powered beeping and booping. Why not make a tradition of a countdown to Christmahanukwanzaakah by letting your child find a wrapped gift of a book under his or her pillow (or at the foot of the bed or outside the door or served up on a breakfast plate) every day for a week before the holiday? Kind of like eight days of Hanukkah, or a shortened, real-live advent calendar; I dare to suggest, waking up to a book may even beat opening those little windows with chocolate inside! I think titles may be more appreciated when given in this well-paced way, as older children will want to read to pass the time during winter vacations, and younger children will love the time spent reading aloud together as much as any present, underscoring the real joy of the season: savoring time together. You can also be freed up to give books that are less glitzy, and ones that may be enjoyed all through the year. What do you say? Here are a few new picture book picks of special merit to get you started, or to give as gifts on a big day!
HUMPTY DUMPTY CLIMBS AGAIN by Dave Horowitz (Putnam)
Humpty Dumpty/Sits in a chair,/He used to climb rocks--/Today he won't dare." After his great fall, the egg with a fragile ego doesn't have the gumption to scale any walls, and instead mopes around in his underwear, in spite of encouragement from his concerned nursery-rhyme constituency. When one of the king's horses is in peril, though, Humpty rises to the occasion. This book is at once hilarious and a hard-boiled look at how important it is to try, try again. The author is one of watch; a super-funny favorite among children, if he can keep up his laugh-a-minute quota he may rise to the level of Robert Munsch. Also, try his recent royal alphabet TWENTY-SIX PRINCESSES in which some saucy sisters in crowns cut some mighty funny capers, and the kosher countdown in FIVE LITTLE GEFILTES, which also makes a hit as a hostess gift at Jewish holiday celebrations.
DINOSAUR VS. BEDTIME by Bob Shea (Hyperion) Grown-ups blabbing away! A pile of leaves! A bowl of spaghetti! All vanquished with a roar, roar, roar! No problem! But bedtime? Now, there we may have a problem. This simple, beautifully designed picture book taps into the toddler tug-of-war between power and vulnerability, and it seems even the bravest, most ferocious folk like a little consolation when the lights go out. With energetic lines and a retro sensibility, it is sure to garner award buzz, but it already has won the best prize of all: a perfect bedtime story that will both delight and comfort even your tiniest T-Rex. (3 and up)
TILLIE LAYS AN EGG by Terry Golson, with photographs by Ben Fink (Scholastic) Real photographs of the author's own chickens are nesting inside these pages. Each day, Tillie, the renegade hen, picks different places around the barnyard to lay her precious egg, and in every picture the reader is invited for seek and find: where has Tillie laid her egg? Funny, anthropomorphic asides into chicken thinking abound ("On Wednesday, Tillie goes into the kitchen. She doesn't find any worms, but she does find some breakfast. Delicious, she thinks. This tastes much better than the corn in the barnyard. ") In many ways, this inspired and well-balanced endeavor is a perfect conceptual picture book for primary children, the likes of which I have not seen since the heyday of work done by The Crews Family. Each spread is graced lovely glossy photographs that have a country charm, and a real love of the subject that shines as brightly as the sun coming up. Cock-a-doodle-doooo! (4 and up)
PEANUT by David Lucas (Candlewick)
In the night, on a tree, a flower grew.
As the son rose, the flower opened.
Inside was a monkey, a monkey as big as a pea...
"How pleasant to be a little peanut," said the tiny monkey.
(He really didn't know what he was."
Oh, what a big, big world is it for the little monkey! The floor is made of air, water falls from the sky, and beasts abound (how is Peanut to know they're really butterflies?) and when the sun goes down, it seems the world has ended. Luckily, even in the big wide and wild world, a friend awaits to help explain it all away. Sometimes you want a book that is just plain magical, and this book delivers. Visually beautiful and dynamic, patterns play on symmetry against bold backdrops, and through it all is our hero, so sweet in his smallness. Channeling the spirit of Leo Lionni, this book sees the world of a child through a child's wide eyes, and from the vantage point of a flower petal. (3 and up)
NEVER TAKE A SHARK TO THE DENTIST (AND OTHER THINGS NOT TO DO) by Judi Barrett, illustrated by John Nickle (Atheneum) The co-author of CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF MEATBALLS and ANIMALS SHOULD DEFINITELY NOT WEAR CLOTHING offers us some fresh but equally sage advice, such as "never play double-dutch with a grasshopper,""never take a giraffe to the movies," "never give a moth a sweater for her birthday,"page folds up to reveal the giraffe's head going through the roof of the theater, interfering with pigeons watching television. The illustrator's smooth, computerized style gives a contemporary edge to a classic author who still has her creative chops. (5 and up)
THE DUCK WHO PLAYED THE KAZOO by Amy Sklansky, illustrated by Tiphanie Beeke (Clarion) "La ditty, da ditty, zu zu!" Don't you just want to join in? This chummy, rhythmic story stars a duck who ventures out into new vistas, and uses music to make friends who will come and visit him, too. The illustrator's watercolors are surprisingly atmospheric. Of course, a kazoo for you and your friend makes the reading all the more melodic. (3 and up)
A VISITOR FOR BEAR by Bonny Becker, illustrated by Kady MacDonald Denton (Candlewick) Uh-oh, it seems like somebody rolled out on the wrong side of the den, as bear is an insufferable grouch who wants nothing better to be left alone. this misanthropic mood does nothing to deter Mouse, who reappears time and time again with "ta-da!"-like panache, no matter how tightly Bear tries to secure his abode. When Bear finally gives in to the mouse's insistence on a visit, the tables are turned and he begs for more golden hours in the company of his lovely new friend. Sometimes authors and illustrators are a match made in heaven, and this seems to be the case; droll and mannered language like "vamoose!" and"farewell!" and "begone!" and "intolerable!" are just a few among the well-chosen, well-ordered text, and soft-toned illustrations against white backgrounds hearken to the gentle work of Martha Alexander. This book reminded me a little bit of GUS WAS A FRIENDLY GHOST by Jane Thayer, illustrated by Seymour Fleishman, in both the story line and some of the character gestures, but the hearty and hale resiliency of the mouse in his campaign to make a friend will win over a whole new generation. (5 and up)
BEE-WIGGED by Cece Bell (Candlewick) Jerry is a big bumblebee, but he's never stung anyone, so why can't he cut a break in the friend-making department? When he sports an old wig, he finds his old identity is hidden under the rug, so to speak. His many good qualities win him many companions and he enjoys a series of school adventures before the children find out the truth. Just like a wig, the zany unlikelihood of the story covers the deeper truth that many children have trouble making new friends and will go to great lengths to join the hive. In the vein of Andrew Clement's BIG AL and Don Freeman's wonderful DANDELION, this book, too, will reassure young readers that people can like them as they are. (5 and up)

THE DOG WHO SAVED SANTA and HOLIDAY PICKS!
Ho-ho-ho! Time to start filling sleighs and days with perfect holiday picks hot off of the jolly elf shelf:
THE DOG WHO SAVED SANTA by True Kelley (Holiday House)
Uh-oh, young Santa turns out to be a bit of a slacker, munching on fruitcake and shlumping in front of the television while his elves knock themselves out to make deadline. With the help of a motivational video, "Take Charge of Your Life," a plucky pup is determined to help Santa live up to his reputation! Thanks to the dedication of his trusty dog, Santa learns geography, gets a little dose of driver's ed and is back in that reindeer saddle before long. Now...does the Easter bunny need any help? This author knows how to write picture books that tickle the funny bone and inspire requests for re-readings from children who think they are too old for picture books. A sleigh-full of kid-friendly good humor is in these bindings, along with a subtle message that even Santa wasn't born great, he had to work at it. (7 and up)
THE DINOSAURS' NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS by Anne Muecke, illustrated by Nathan Hale (Chronicle) A rhyming midnight romp in a museum is a holiday dream come true for the hero of this book, and is sure to replace visions of sugar-plums dancing in the head of a young dino-loving reader. At first, I was concerned about the resemblance of the book to the popular HOW DO DINOSAURS series by Jane Yolen and Michael Teague, but on closer inspection, the detailed, jewel-colored illustrations have a style all of their own. The book, despite mushy bouts with mistletoe (have you ever been kissed by a Tyrannosaurus?), manages the trick of maintaining the slightly scary and very toothy spirit of the Mesozoic in the context of the holiday season. The volume comes with a CD which includes dinosaur carols. The "Allosaurus Chorus" and "Hark! The Pterodactyls Sing" may prove to be an evolutionist's nightmare come true, but may also be a future favorite at secular holiday assemblies. The musical tributes to Dino Kwanzaa and Dino Hanukkah did not go unappreciated. (6 and up) Children who enjoy this kind of riffing on classics may also find treasure in A PIRATE'S NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS by Philip Yates, illustrated by Sebastia Serra (Sterling); the team of seahorses ("On, Salty! On, Scurvy! On, Sinbad!") was an especially nice touch. (6 and up)
SANTA GOES GREEN by Anne Margaret Lewis, illustrated by Elisa Chavarri (Mackinac Island Press) I'm not sure if Santa has an agenda, but if he did, I imagine that leaving the earth a better place for future generations of children would be on it (not to mention that he must be concerned about global warming, with all that real estate in the North Pole). In this book, Santa listens to a boy's wish for help making the world a better place, and manages to improve the sustainability of his own large scale productions. Despite the strong message, the storyline has a viable and readable arc, and Elisa Chavarri's artwork is a standout, with illustrations are as crisp and lovely and alluring as a wrapped package on Christmas day. Thematically, this is a useful classroom holiday read-aloud, and a nice teacher gift as well. (5 and up)
SANTA DUCK by David Milgrim (Putnam)
Nicholas Duck had only one day left to find Santa.
"If I don't tell him what I want," he quacked,
"it's going to be another year of socks and underwear."
Quacking voice? On the first page? Somebody knows something about read-aloud up in here! Walking around in a Santa suit that has been mysterious left at his doorstep, Duck becomes the unwitting ear to all holiday requests of all the neighborhood animals (Rabbit's request: "all I want is a carrot cake/The size of a football field/Don't forget the frosting"). 'Tis better to give than to receive in the funniest holiday book of the year. (5 and up)
WILLY AND MAY: A CHRISTMAS STORY by Judy Schachner (Dutton) From the author who brought us the wildly popular bilingual chihuahua SKIPPYJON JONES, we have here a holiday return to her earlier style, that focuses on humans. In this story, we feel the closeness of a girl to her elderly aunt and her pet bird. Making pies, listening to phonograph records, splashing in a pond and decorating a tree, the years passed are filled with great memories of being together, so no wonder the narrator is palpably disappointed when family circumstances mean they may not be able to spend the holiday together this year. When Willy and May manage to show up amidst a snowstorm, its a Christmas miracle! I must confess to a twinge of melancholy while reading this book, thinking of all the children who have a parent serving in the military overseas, and families who have had to curtail their traditional treks to the homes of distant relatives because of the economic downturn. But stories about wishes coming true are fair game for Christmas, and this in particular serves as a reminder that simply being the company of one other is indeed a marvelous gift. What I like about Schachner's people-centered books is that there is an undercurrent of invention; these books are always, below the surface, idea books. Her characters are examples, models of fun, eccentricity and generosity of spirit. She depicts children showing love through the artwork that they do and the initiatives they take, and she depicts this with a sincerity that verges on defiance, or maybe its simply faith, but definitely a pronouncement of sorts: "people are good." The illustration of the girl cutting out snowflakes from newspaper captures every ounce of the joyful anticipation of the season and the longing to contribute to the loveliness all around. Sigh! (7 and up)
PENINA LEVINE IS A POTATO PANCAKE by Rebecca O'Connell, illustrated by Majella Lue Sue (Roaring Brook) The holiday blues aren't just reserved for Christmas! When Penina realized that her Hanukkah is setting up to be a bummer, she decides to take action to get her family and friends back into the holiday groove. Penina is a funny friend in print, a character with so much that her readers will identify with: Have you ever had a teacher leave in the middle of the year? Felt like a parent wasn't listening? Tried to dress up a traditional recipe (peanut-butter-covered latkes, anyone)? Made homemade holiday gifts? Ahhh, nothing like a good piece of realistic fiction! Beats peanut-butter latkes any day. (8 and up)
'TWAS THE DAY BEFORE CHRISTMAS: THE STORY OF CLEMENT MOORE'S BELOVED POEM by Brenda Seabrooke, illustrated by Delana Bettoli (Dutton) Clement Moore promised his children the special gift of a story. A poem would be all the better....it's harder, after all. But where can he find the inspiration? This true story of how the season's most celebrated piece of verse came to be doubles as an interesting look into the whirling snow-globe of artist inspiration and process. A wonderful period piece is enhanced by eloquent vocabulary and decorated with scenes that are as charming as a store Christmas window. It includes the full text to "The Night Before Christmas," Clement's gift to his children and to the world. What story can you tell that will be a gift in the hearts of your family? (7 and up)
These are some of the newer holiday titles, but sometimes oldies are goodies! I remember my favorite as a child was Patricia Scarry's THE SWEET SMELL OF CHRISTMAS (3 and up), in which the hot chocolate magically smelled like hot chocolate mint and the Christmas tree smelled like pine and the candy canes smelled like...well, you get the idea! One of the great joys of the season, I think, is sharing what you enjoyed as a child. More recommendations for great holiday reads in the Seasonal Archive.
And, at the risk of shameless self-promotion, may I remind you about HANUKKAH SHMANUKKAH, illustrated by the brilliant LeUyen Pham (Hyperion) (ages 8 and up). This kosher Christmas Carol is an Association of Jewish Libraries notable book, and explores the Jewish-American experience in the context of the past, present and future. A full reader's theater script is available on-line for free download, which may be handy for classroom use or speaking in parts around the family table. Oy, books are so much fun!
I've been very busy writing a guide for first-year teachers for the new year, so thanks for your patience with the pause in my postings. I've fallen a little behind, but I hear Santa has, too, so at least I'm in good company! Please check back, I'm going to try my best to post several more recommendations for terrific books in the next few days. And thanks to everyone who came to the PlanetEsme Bookroom for the kids' open mike, you all shone brighter than the star at the top of the tree! Season's readings, everyone!

CUPCAKE (PICTURE BOOK)
Book du Jour:
CUPCAKE by Charise Mericle Harper (Disney/Hyperion)
I promised you cake today.
I didn't want to like this book. Was it just adding its dozen to the cupcake craze sweeping every other block? Was it one of those overly-saccharine books that ultimately says "I'm okay, you're okay?" No. It was not. Yes, It capitalizes on our national love of frosting. Yes, it ultimately says, "I'm okay, you're okay," okay. But it also has a double-page spread of different cupcake characters (fancy flower-top cupcake, stripy cupcake, polka-dot cupcake) that is absolutely irresistible; how can you not choose a favorite? And for gosh sakes, don't we all need a candle, to help us find our inner light? This story is perfectly adorable, encouraging, and screams for various follow-up projects, whether decorating paper cupcakes or pulling out the pastry bags for some real action. Three yums up. (5 and up) And also, for lots of layers and zero calories, add BETTY BUNNY LOVES CHOCOLATE CAKE to your collection, featuring an energetic floppy-eared character that finds her cocoa-covered true love and is enamored enough to stick it in her sock. The thin-lined, watercolor illustrations are expressive and funny, and overall, a is the icing on the cake for a very realistic depiction of a hard-headed little girl in bunny's clothing (not that you might know any yourself). A nice choice for the FANCY NANCY and OLIVIA jet-set of readers. And if you're just in it for the pastry, please don't forget Janet Stein's THIS LITTLE BUNNY CAN BAKE, which lets some boys in the kitchen door, too. (5 and up)

THE GINGERBREAD MAN LOOSE IN THE SCHOOL (PICTURE BOOK)
THE GINGERBREAD MAN LOOSE IN THE SCHOOL by Laura Murray, illustrated by Mike Lowery (Putnam)
I'm the Gingerbread Man,
And I'm trying to find
The children who made me,
but left me behind.
Looking for the children in this reverse chase, our Gingerbread friend gets a grand tour of the school, and manages to find his friends in the end. Comic-book framing paired with fun, simple illustration and a limited but snazzy palette of browns, greens, turquoise and red makes for visually active pages that are still easy to follow when sharing with a classroom. This cookie is genuinely sweet! (5 and up) For other reads off the cookie sheet, taste-test THE GINGERBREAD GIRL by Lisa Campbell Ernst, or my favorite, Mini Grey's adventurous GINGER BEAR. And don't forget to share the original, newly reprinted with a handsome embossed cover, Paul Galdone's THE GINGERBREAD BOY, which, in combination with the other titles in Galdone's "Folk Tale Classics" series, has comprised my latest baby-gift-of-choice." The children never seem to trust that old fox, no matter how nice he tries to be...for a while, anyway. Oh, well.
And! While we're on the subject of the way the cookie crumbles, there's Jan Brett's busy GINGERBREAD FRIENDS, which is eye candy as much as it is eye cookie, and the Randall Jarrell's beautiful, old-fashioned first chapter-book read-aloud (yes, all you first grade teachers, this is for you!), THE GINGERBREAD RABBIT, illustrated by the great Garth Williams (of whose talents you are acquainted from CHARLOTTE'S WEB.
To be devoured with or without milk.
Cake tomorrow.
THE GIRL WHO CIRCUMNAVIGATED FAIRYLAND (Fiction)
THE GIRL WHO CIRCUMNAVIGATED FAIRYLAND IN A SHIP OF HER OWN MAKING by Catherynne M. Valente (Fiewel and Friends)
Save Fairyland, little twelve-year-old-girl! (No pressure.) With lots of wordplay, a quest to vanquish in the name of good and a whimsical cast, perhaps this is a contemporary nod to Norton Juster's THE PHANTOM TOOLBOOTH featuring a female protagonist (and how timely, with a 50th Anniversary Edition and an Annotated Edition out and about?)...excepting, September has an enthusiastic spirit all her own, falling in line with the best of the Practical Princesses and other more liberated girls who have wandered--or wended--their way into fairy tales. Smart, lovely, sensory, descriptive language, too, with plenty of vocabulary that means what it says and says what they mean (bedraggled shoes, dense bread), always exciting and never dumb (just like good old William Steig used to do...how about BRAVE IRENE? ). Isn't it perfect when an author has a high regard for, um....words? And girls? Helps a lot. (11 and up)
TROUBLEMAKER (FICTION)
TROUBLEMAKER by Andrew Clements (Scholastic)
What could be more exciting than a new title from the master of realistic school fiction? A poignant story about how difficult it can be to turn over a new leaf once a reputation for mischief is imprinted upon the mind of teachers and classmates. I have a feeling that Sahara would like this book. (9 and up)
HORNBOOKS AND INKWELLS (NONFICTION)
HORNBOOKS AND INKWELLS by Verla Kay, illustrated by S.D. Schindler (Putnam)
A trip to an 18th-century one-room schoolhouse in a book, through the magic of terse verse and good-humored pictures! How about wearing neck yokes for punishment, or ice-skating at recess, or bathroom in the outhouse? Yeesh, makes young 'uns today look rather milquetoast. The terse verse is brought to life through the good-humored, detailed drawings, fittingly fettered with straight lines. Let's write "we love Schindler's mannered illustrations" 100 times, in our best handwriting. A perfect preface for another historical schoolroom story, Avi's THE SECRET SCHOOL, in which a fourteen-year old girl in 1925 gets to work behind the teacher's desk, or Laura Ingall's Wilder's amazing depiction of 19th century school life in LITTLE TOWN ON THE PRAIRIE. You tell your readers, "When I was a kid, I had to walk two miles uphill in a snowstorm to get to school to read these books, and you get to take the bus to the library!" That'll learn 'im. (8 and up)

Thirty One-derful Children's Picture Books to Start the New Year: Best of 2018
Research suggests strongly that more children's books in the home can do so much to eradicate the effects of other disadvantages. And when we know they aren't in the home, we need to bring the very best to the home away from home: the classroom. In other words, children's books continue to be our brightest hope for educational equity, and the more quality picks on the shelves, the merrier.
This speaks to the magic of collection building. One good book is transformative. But there is something about the relationship of books on a shelf, next to each other. The arrangement is like neurons firing, from one to another; every connection matters. I think of the yearly round-up as its own special collection; if a child were to read all these books in the course of a year, how would they be changed in what they know, in how they act, in what they value? How would they form relationships to books, authors, illustrators, each other? Because that's all real learning boils down to: content, change and relationship, and these selections will foster growth in all those areas. Books are chosen with read-aloud, classroom use, kid-appeal and excellence in writing and illustration top of mind. Here we go, thirty-one in honor of every day of the first month of the New Year!
First, my picks for the highest award in American children's book illustration, The Caldecott Medal.
My fingers-are-crossed hope for this year is that all the Caldecott Awards go to books that represent Latinos, because this year, it just so happens all of these books absolutely deserve to win and also just so happen to feature Latino characters.
In Julián is a Mermaid by Jessica Love (Candlewick), young Julián observes gorgeous costumed mermaids en route to the Coney Island Mermaid Parade, and naturally this unleashes his fantasy of joining them. He imitates them with an elaborate and imaginative homemade costume. Will this meet with his grandmother's disapproval? While this is a powerful story of unconditional love that every child deserves to read (and experience), I confess it is my favorite because it is just so beautiful. SO BEAUTIFUL. The cover is charming, yes, but when you crack it open...WHAT! Those lines. The flow. The colors. It's DREAMY. It's LUCIOUS! And the endpapers. I've been giving a lot more attention to endpapers during story times since illustrators seem to be giving them more attention of late as well. Sometimes they are wrapping paper for the gift of the book and other times they are a bonus gift, as is the case here: a row of grandmothers at a swim class with Julian under the surface, and finishing with the same grandmothers as mermaids with our victorious hero in tow. Intergenerational, urban and urbane, developmentally appropriate and reflective, loving, LGBQT friendly and celebratory of All Things Imagination, this book makes a major splash.
In Alma and How She Got Her Name by Juana Martinez-Neal (Candlewick), Alma Sofia Esperanza José Pura Candela wonders why she has such an unwieldy moniker and learns that her name was inspired by a conglomeration of relatives worth remembering, each of whom is introduced here. There is a piece of each of these ancestors that lives on in Alma, combining to make her one of a kind. The uncluttered and refined line illustrations bring to mind children's book masters of the past (think Martha Alexander). Mostly I am so excited by the potential for classroom conversations this will inspire about names and relatives and how who we are can have so much to do with where we come from. This book invites family, ancestry and pride.
Dreamers by Yuyi Morales (Neal Porter Books/Holiday House) is based on the real immigrant experience of Mexican author Yuyi Morales and her young son. It does an sensitive job of depicting the foibles of someone making a way in a new country and offers one of the most impactful visual celebrations of the power of reading and libraries for anyone trying to find their place in a culture. The illustrations among the bookshelves pay tribute to the titles that transformed the Morales' lives and earn this book a place in the collection of every and any children's book enthusiast. The Caldecott is not a prize that is supposed to recognize career contribution, but if it were, I can't imagine an author more deserving of inclusion in the canon of that award. Her palette, surrealistic style and consistently hopeful and often humorous contributions are consistently distinctive and distinguished, and this is no exception. Her topic is timely and necessary for classrooms and her treatment is truly healing, inspiring, victorious.
And heads up, fresh out of the gate for 2019, we have the glorious Planting Stories: The Life of Librarian and Storyteller Pura Belpré by Anika Aldamuy Denise, illustrated by Paola Escobar (Harper), a picture book biography about the woman who inspired the Pura Belpré Award given to "a Latino/Latina writer and illustrator whose work best portrays, affirms, and celebrates the Latino cultural experience in an outstanding work of literature for children and youth" (which, incidentally, Yuyi Morales has garnered several times). Any discussion of children's book awards with children this season would be enriched by a sharing of this vibrant picture book biography.
Moving on to other notable titles:
Potato Pants by Laurie Keller (Henry Holt). Potato is so excited to get new pants, he's dancing the Robot (or Po-Bot, as the case may be)..but troublemaking Eggplant has purchased the last pair! Eggplant is being blamed for problems, but does Potato play a part? Under the skin, this is a good pick for modeling genuine apologies and conflict resolution. The varied layout is busy and exciting, and I can't imagine anyone not wanting to design their own pair of potato pants and doing a little dance after reading. I love children's books that children actually love and that matches their energy. This wins. For more zany fun in the spud department, check out the seasonal Meet the Latkes by Alan Silberberg (Viking).
A couple of alphabet books made the list this year. Though without a particular narrative line, I literally gasped when turning pages of Animalphabet byJulia Donaldson, illustrated by Sharon King-Chai (Dial), with die cut pages and colorful, supersaturated illustrations. While the alphabet offerings may not be novel (a is still for ant), the processional storytelling is, with questions prefacing each next page that invites active guessing from the audience and the eye taking a journey from corner to corner to take it all in. The pages are delicate and may be better suited to private collections, laps and teacher-led story times, but absolutely still worth the purchase for the sheer pretty of it. Fans of Charley Harper and Petr Horacek will approve.
P is for Pterodactyl: The Worst Alphabet Book Ever by Raj Haldar (also known as the rapper Lushlife) and Chris Carpenter, illustrated by Maria Beddia (Sourcebooks) plays on the preposterousness of our language (O is for Ouija, N is not for Knot, T is for Tsunami, G is for Gnocchi), and has a funny full-page picture for every letter but content that can be shared with older children just as well. Though any child will benefit from the vocabulary, this book underscores the challenges any English language learner might encounter, and might be used to underscore their achievement just as readily. Very clever and well executed.
Anyone who follows my recommendations knows that I think children's picture book biography is the most powerful genre within children's literature because it can be read across the grade levels and introduces children to figures that fall outside the trajectory of war that textbooks seem to follow. Artists, scientists, inventors, sports figures, peacemakers...if we read children just one picture book biography a week, in a year, how many new mentors would they be introduced to through literature? This year, we have three biographies that are especially visually fetching and all feature females: Joan Procter, Dragon Doctor: The Woman Who Loved Reptiles by Patricia Valdez, illustrated by Felicita Sala (Knopf), Gloria's Voice: The Story of Gloria Steinem- Feminist, Activist, Leader by Aura Lewis (Sterling), She Made a Monster: How Mary Shelley Created Frankenstein by Lynn Fulton, illustrated by Felicita Sala (Knopf), and also recommended is
Pride: The Story of Harvey Milk and the Rainbow Flag by Rob Sanders, illustrated by Steven Salerno (Random House), which gives a very excellent explanation of the ubiquitous rainbow flag as well as a well-written, straightforward and poignant introduction to LGBQT history and one of it's heroes for young audiences. Pretty essential and pretty darn wonderful.
There was a time in this country when we made things. A LOT of things. Made by Hand: A Crafts Sampler by Carole Lexa Schaefer, illustrated by Becca Stadtlander (Candlewick) is a celebration of that history. Acrobatics of poetry and historical fiction employ vocabulary like crimper. Plane. Churn. Sampler. Bandolier. I was won over from the first description of the invention of the Terrestrial Globe, borne from a passion I have not so convincingly experienced in print since the reading of Jacqueline Briggs Martin's Snowflake Bentley. Back matter provides detailed explanations of which parts of each vignette are fiction and which are nonfiction, and photos of the real artifacts, while well-matched folksy illustrations grace the rest. Highly original and making amends for years lost by removing shop and home economics from school curriculums, this is an erudite, complex, genre-bending book better suited to older children, and even then, maybe not every child. But the child for whom it is suited will revisit this book, be inspired by this book, will time travel with this book. Though Lois Ehlert's Hands remains one of my favorite children's books about making things, this year provides many other complimentary titles: With My Hands: Poems About Making Things by Amy Ludwig VanDerwater, illustrated by Lou Fancher and Steve Johnson (Clarion), Made by Maxine by Ruth Spiro, illustrated by Holly Hatam, and Kids Cooking: Students Prepare and Eat Foods from Around the World by George Anacona (Candlewick), which suffers from lack of recipes (though easily searchable online) but has delicious, active photographs of real children preparing food.
Hello, Lighthouse by Sophie Blackall (Little Brown). I confess, when I saw this book, I thought, regionallllll. How is this going to speak to the landlocked midwestern kids I teach? WRONG! Reminder/note to self: often the best kind of books are not the books that speak to one's own experience, but invites us into a new one. What happens when someone is sick and they live in a lighthouse? How do they get supplies? How does someone come to visit? Can it withstand tidal waves? All questions are answered in the context of the story of a lonely lighthouse keeper who finds his bride, his family and an unexpected future from the tower. The x-ray illustration of the lighthouse's interior will inspire children to imagine houses and architectural futures with a vim not seen since Daniel Pinkwater's The Big Orange Splot, In fact, beyond inspiring indefatigable interest in lighthouses and imaginings of living in one, this is one of the most romantic and graceful children's books I have ever come across.
Of course, now Hello, Lighthouse must headline a storytime that includes the classic Tim All Alone (or any of the Tim books) by Edward Ardizzone, and the new gem Ocean Meets Sky by Terry and Eric Fan (Simon and Schuster) (about a boy who takes a magical boat journey to honor his grandfather, absolutely ethereal and stunning, like a dream that was captured in the bindings of a book), A First Book of the Sea by Nicola Davies (always exceptional for science writing), illustrated by Emily Sutton (Candlewick), and The Real Boat by Marina Aromshtam, illustrated by Victoria Semykina (Templar) (which is a January 2019 release, but I don't care, this story about a paper boat who is trying to become a real boat is gorgeous and you need to know about it now). Oh, what the heck. Bag whatever you were planning, teachers, and embark on a unit about the sea, sea travel, lighthouses. There's so much treasure in the sea.
Also on the subject of reimagining life's possibilities, we have The Town of Turtle by Michelle Cuevas, illustrated by Catia Chien (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt). "Turtle spent a lot of time in his shell. It was very dark inside--as dark as the inside of a closed flower, as dark as the underside of a bell." After dreaming about a better home, Turtle embarks on renovations to his shell, as colorful and outlandish as his dream...and his vision grows and grows, until it invites others to join him. I always get a little grumpy when recommending anything illustrated by Catia Chien, because ever since The Sea Serpent and Me, I just don't understand why she doesn't win everything. Why? WHY?!? Whatever. She's too good for this world. That's why she creates otherworldly books like this one.
How to Be a Good Creature: A Memoir in Thirteen Animals by Sy Montgomery, illustrated by Rebecca Green (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt) is not a picture book per se and probably better suited for ages 10 and up, but since I want to buy a classroom set of thirty, it seems like a title I ought to share. Less of a book about animals and more about a life with animals, we follow the author, a naturalist and adventurer, through her encounters with the natural world. Black and white full-page plates charmingly accent the writing. It is a difficult to write a memoir for children (I know), but when it is done well, it can offer a blueprint for future possibilities for the reader. I am sure many animal lovers---and strong-willed girls---will find inspiration and empowerment in the author's unconventional choices. Future naturalists will also delight is other recent offerings: Look at Me! How to Attract Attention in the Animal World by nonfiction super-team Steve Jenkins and Robin Page (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt), the generous and elegant Sing a Song of Seasons: A Nature Poem for Each Day of the Year selected by Fiona Waters, illustrated by Frann Preston-Gannon (Nosy Crow), Little Fox in the Snow by Jonathan London (famous for his Froggy series), illustrated by Daniel Miyares (Candlewick), the very interesting Under the Canopy: Trees Around the World by Tris Volant and Cynthia Alonso (Flying Eye), and Moon by Alison Oliver, in which a little girl finds respite from her over-scheduled life by adapting to some wolfy ways, illustrated with vintage flavor and a very fresh follow-up to last year's Caldecott winner Wolf in the Snow by Matthew Cordell.
The Rabbit Listened by Cori Doerrfeld (Dial). I bristle at didacticism in children's books, and gosh golly isn't it enough of it out there telling kids to Be Kind and Be Welcoming and all too often with the storyline of a limp noodle and probably the long-term efficacy of the "Just Say No" campaign. With renewed vigor now that it is coming to light the number of bad eggs in our box, the industry is burgeoning with titles that decry bullying and emphasize empathy with a capital E, though we have been trying since 1944 and Eleanor Estes' The Hundred Dresses (and if that didn't cut the mustard, I don't know what would). So why did I re-read this book about seven times? The human condition requires loss and disappointment, certainly for children, too; I think the only thing worse than the event of loss is the well-meaning ding-dong who says or does exactly the wrong thing. So many people rightly fear being this ding-dong and so don't do anything at all, which is even worse. Enter: the rabbit.
When a flock of crows destroy a block tower, the child is devastated. Different animals come to offer solace. The chicken wants to talk-talk-talk about it. The bear wants to get mad. The ostrich sticks its head in the sand and pretends it never happened. The hyena wants to laugh it off. And the snake insidiously hisses a suggestion of revenge. It is not until the rabbit comes and holds space does the child's healing begin, and dreams of a new, better edifice begin to formulate. The strength of this book is that it does not contend only with the person who is experiencing pain but the person who is offering support. The expressive illustrations make artful use of negative space and perfectly compliment the story (and yay, there is a story!), showing children from an early age that not only do we not owe it to anyone to feel the way someone else would like us to feel, it is not always our charge to fix but only to be present. This might go far to ensure that they do not grow up to be obnoxious in the face of somebody else's adversity in years to come. Hush up and be somebody's rabbit. A very valuable lesson indeed.
Also in this very same vein is the more comical Grumpy Monkey by Suzanne and Max Lang (Random House), which follows a similar story arc of animals not just letting monkey get his mad on. More emotions are wrangled via the masterful Molly Bang, author of the popular When Sophie Gets Angry...Really, Really Angry who has a new book in that series, When Sophie Thinks She Can't, addressing lack of confidence and feelings of competition with others. Poor Sophie. She needs Rabbit to listen.
All right, all right. Like picture books with cats in them, I probably like these kinds of feely-books more than I'm willing to admit. If you do, too, visit this excellent blog, Books That Heal Kids.
Speaking of books with cats.
In Cat Wishes by Calista Brill, illustrated by Kenard Pak (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt), a cat captures a snake and is granted three wishes in exchange for its release, only the cat doesn't really believe in wishes. What would he wish for if he did? To his surprise, the wishes seem to come true, culminating in a human with a wish of her own. This book is a bit of a "sleeper," but a keeper for it's lovely story structure and sweet illustrations, great for teaching beginning, middle and end and story sequencing. And if you'd like more feline steps to follow, check out Mapping Sam: A Book About What is Where and How to Get from Here to There by Joyce Hesselberth (Greenwillow), a nifty general overview to all kinds of maps, labels and blueprints.
A new offering from the multiple-award-winning team who brought us Last Stop On Market Street, we have Carmela Full of Wishes by Matt de la Pena, illustrated by Christian Robinson (Putnam), a provocative story of a little girl from a migrant family who has to think of just the right wish to make on some valuable dandelion fluff. When her flower is destroyed, her cantankerous big brother steps up to show her there is more than one wish that come true for her future. Complex and subtle themes run deep in this family story, and I defy you not to become enamored with Robinson's friendly, geometric illustration style that hearkens to the great Ed Emberley. My school was fortunate to have an author/illustrator visit from this team, springboarding 2nd and 3rd graders into exploration of simple landscapes using geometric shapes, crafts involving wishes that ended up being extremely personal and poignant, creation of Mexican papel picado and discussions of what it is like to come from somewhere else (a subject on which my Chicago Public School students have plenty of prior knowledge).
Other new picks that will elicit discussion and appreciation of global and multicultural experiences include the sumptuously illustrated Islandborn by Junot Diaz, illustrated by Leo Espinosa (Dial), A Big Mooncake for Little Star by Grace Lin (Little, Brown), The Day War Came by Nicola Davies, illustrated by Rebecca Cobb (Candlewick), Can I Touch Your Hair?: Poems of Race, Mistakes and Friendship by Irene Latham and Charles Waters, illustrated by Sean Qualls and Selina Alko (Carolrhoda) and the beautifully written Three Balls of Wool (Can Change the World) by Portuguese author Henriqueta Cristina, illustrated by Yara Kono and translated by Lyn Miller-Lachmann (Enchanted Lion, published in partnership with Amnesty International).
I always try to add one or two really strong seasonal read-alouds to my collection every year, and this year I chose Stumpkin by Lucy Ruth Cummins (Athenaeum). Stumpkin notices he is different, missing a stem, and watches forlornly as the other pumpkins are chosen over him from the grocery shelf, reappearing as jolly jack-o-lanterns in the building across the street. Finally, it is Halloween. What will be his fate? Oh my goodness, the simple illustration style for this surprisingly nail-biting cliffhanger is too perfect, the kind of book you just hold to your chest two-armed and sigh, "that's what a children's book should be." It doesn't matter if it's January. Trick-or-treat yourself.
Making a Friend by Tammi Sauer, illustrated by Alison Friend (Harper). Beaver is trying to widen his social circle, but keeps making well-meaning faux pas. Finally, he abandons his efforts in lieu of creating a perfect partner of his own snowy invention, only to find a like-minded raccoon whose friendship may outlast the season. Lots of modeling of kind words and a theme of perseverance coupled with adorable cartoon illustrations make for storytime perfection. You can never have too many really good snowman books in the cooler, and this one will defrost any midwinter read-aloud slump.
Baby Monkey, Private Eye by bestselling and award-winning author Brian Selznick and David Serlin (Scholastic). A beguiling little monkey rouses himself repeatedly from nap time to locate missing items for a series of increasingly surprising clients. Artful historical references and visual jokes are tucked in throughout for the recognition and entertainment of all ages, but this fills a special need for emergent readers; an entirely accessible early reader with some heft to it, short "chapters" overflowing with confidence-building visual cues and repetitions and belly-laugh humor, and through it all one of the most striking homages to Maurice Sendak I've seen in a long time, black and white line illustrations and comic book interjections hearkening to Higglety Piggelty Pop! and Some Swell Pup. Gone, but not forgotten.
The Wall in the Middle of the Book by Jon Agee (Dial). Tension builds as a headstrong little knight insists on staying on his side of the edifice out of concern of what is on the other side even when the danger on his own side is clearly and hilariously growing. It's funny, or maybe unfunny, because it's true. Sigh. John Agee is known for a tongue-in-cheek and subversive twang in his books, but even without the undertones of any grown-up debate, what I like best about it is how it draws attention to the middle seam (or "gutter") of the book, and how John Agee had to really think about the layout of this physical book to create it, it's part of the story. Books that afford the chance to look at parts of a book are a boon.
Let's peek at some classroom must-haves...
Can I Be Your Dog? by Troy Cummings (Random House) Arfy is a stray looking for a home, and sends each house in the neighborhood a letter alerting them of such. Poor Arfy is thwarted at every turn, ultimately retreating to a cardboard box in a rainstorm...until the mail carrier makes a proposal of her own. I'm not crying, you're crying! Naturally, this book has extensions for letter writing and persuasive writing, but not to be overlooked is the superior storyboarding going on here, building tension wonderfully until its satisfying twist. The illustrations are big, bright, well-paced, comic and uncluttered, perfect for sharing. Starting from the front end-papers like postage stamps with themes a dog would love (a hydrant, collar, squirrel to chase) to the last end-papers (A double-page spread of the neighborhood and hints for helping homeless animals), this book will win the hearts of children and teachers alike, and deserves to win even more. Go fetch. And FYI, for an extension, additional animal-themed correspondence from this publishing year may be found in Love, Agnes: Postcards from an Octopus by Irene Latham, illustrated by Thea Baker (Millbrook).
How about some people letters? Dear Substitute by Liz Garton Scanlon, illustrated by Audrey Vernick, illustrated by Chris Raschka (Disney Hyperion). A little girl is thrown when her routine is interrupted by a teacher's sick day, expressed in a series of hilariously curt notes to inanimate and conceptual items in the school ("Dear Line, /Yes, I do know I'm supposed to be line leader this week, /Especially since I was chair stacker last week. /I'm sorry You-Know-Who doesn't know how we do things in Room 102.") Eventually, the sub convincingly wins our narrator over with some well-chosen poetry, and it turns out she doesn't mind if her regular teacher needs another day to recover. More than a strong mentor text, emotionally sensitive, honest and clever in conceit, this is a wonderful book to leave for a substitute in your absence or share for a read-aloud in your presence.
Another classroom-themed favorite of the year is We Don't Eat our Classmates by Ryan T. Higgins (Disney Hyperion), in which Penelope T. Rex is new to and nervous about the school experience, exemplified by her ingestion of her classmates (don't worry, Mrs. Noodleman has her spit them out). Penelope is lonely, but her father explains, "Sometimes it's hard to make friends...especially if you eat them." This should be enough food for thought for Penelope to adjust...this book could, but doesn't, stop there. Not until the class pet, a goldfish, puts Penelope in line does she realize that we shouldn't dish out what we can't take. Revenge is a dish best served a la dinosaur. Oversized illustrations are great for group sharing and are full of hilarious facial expressions and clever detail. Fans of Jon Klassen will appreciate this story's edge, and so will students with a sense of humor.
Some other strong back to school offerings this year are Twig by Aura Parker (Simon and Schuster), in which a stick bug at a busy bug schools finds her camouflage hinders her friend-making, The Day You Begin by Jacqueline Woodson, illustrated byRafael López (Nancy Paulsen Books), Mae's First Day of School by Kate Berube (Harry Abrams), in which first day jitters send a student up a tree, Fairy's First Day of School by Bridget Heos, illustrated by Sara Not (Clarion), a twee back-to -school how-to suitable for the Fancy Nancy set and Did You Hear What I Heard? Poems About School by Kay Winters, illustrated by Patrice Barton (Dial).
Every Month is a New Year by Marilyn Singer, illustrated by Susan Roth (Lee & Low). This book of poems showcases celebrations welcoming the new year from somewhere around the world, one for every month. This is a multicultural book with some real meat on the bones. You will not be able to read it without learning something new, and extensive back-matter wants for nothing; in sharing with children, I advise introducing using the descriptions of the celebrations in the back before sharing the poems, because there is so much new vocabulary and such a rich opportunity to explore each place. I am a long-time fan of Susan Roth's cut paper collages, but this recent offering has detail, vibrancy and energy that suggest a real labor of love and career chef d'oeurve, and has a definite "wow" factor. The book pages turn like a calendar and is laid out as such, and can be read at once but might be better served in the classroom as delight in small bites to look forward to every month. Every teacher should have this book.
Finally, inspired by the movie Around the World in 80 Days, we have the beautifully illustrated and oversized Around the World in 80 Puzzles by Aleksandra Artymowska (Big Picture Press). Sometimes, like in Walter Wick's I SPY books, we just lust for a title that children can privately pore over the pictures for hours in the world of a beautiful game. Here you go.
That makes thirty-one new book recommendations. Or thirty three. Or is it thirty seven? I'm an elementary school librarian, not a math teacher, so if numbers don't involve Dewey Decimal or measurements to bake cupcakes, I'm never quite sure. What I am sure of is that there is a book in this list that will connect with and enthrall a young reader in your life, and I thank you for sharing it.
I can't count very well, but I can read.
As I write this post and think of all the reviews and recommendations and resources out there, it occurs to me that there's still nothing quite like examining a book in hand! To that end, if you are in the Chicago area, please friend me on Facebook to keep apprised of upcoming Cookie Bookie gathering and Silent Reading parties I will be hosting through the year to afford you the opportunity to do just that, or build your collection and host your own!
This post is dedicated with love to the late and very great friend, mentor , reader and inspiration Agnes Royer, the "Story Lady" who was the voice for Fun for Kids, the longest running children's radio show in America out of Ketchikan, Alaska. You made a world of difference.

195 Nigerians Return From Libya, Recount Terrible Ordeal
He said: “I sell tyres and motor spare parts and they liked my services. I also had a church over there, but everything I worked for were destroyed.
by SaharaReporters, New York May 23, 2019
Returnees at Lagos airport Sahara Reporters Media
The largest contingent of Nigerians on Wednesday night returned from Libya since the repatriation exercise commenced in 2017.
Among the returnees were seven heavily pregnant women and a 66 years old man, Evangelist Kehinde Gideon Obala from Badagry.
The latest returnees numbering 195 consisting of adult males and females and toddlers, were returned to the country through the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos.
The returnees were brought into the country by Al Buraq Air from Sabha area with flight number: UZ 389/22 and registration number 5A-DMG SEB at 8:20pm.
They were then received by officials of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) and other government officials.
Returnees in temporary shelter facility Sahara Reporters Media
Mr. Idris Muhammed, the Coordinator of NEMA Territorial Office in Lagos, who received the Assisted Voluntary Returnees at the cargo wing of the airport disclosed that the returnees were the 69th batch brought back by the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) in special intervention programme to repatriate stranded irregular migrants trapped in Libya with funding by European Union.
NEMA said that the returnees consisted 71 female adults, 25 female children and 17 female Infants 17.
Also, male adults were 60, male children 12, while male infants were 10.
In all, the females were 113, while males were 82 with adults as 131, children as 37 and infants as 27 including three males with minor medical issues and seven pregnant women.
Officials documenting returnees Sahara Reporters Media
Muhammed while welcoming the returnees back on arrival, urged youths to try and look inward and utilise the money they wasted foreign travels on something more fruitful.
He noted that since the EU had closed its borders for irregular migrants, the journey through irregular means had become wasteful and dangerous.
He noted that if the returnees had used the huge amount of money spent on these journeys in Nigeria for a business, they would have been very successful in their endearvours.
"Therefore, you need to strive and embrace Federal Government enabling initiatives to empower the youths,” he added.
The 66 years old, Obala from Badagry claimed that he had spent 10 years in Libya.
Sahara Reporters Media
He however regretted his sojourn in Libya, stressing that at first, he was a successful business man and artisan in Libya before the war broke out, thereby crumbling his businesses.
“Ordinarily, I never thought of coming back to Nigeria, but when I was assured and promised that I will be resettled when I return home that was why I came back. I have wasted my life except IOM and government are magnanimous enough to help me start from the scratch.”
Also, Qasim Apena from Ogun State, 55 years who showed how gunshot wounds on the ankles of his two legs disclosed that he was a painter in Libya.
He however lamented that he was shot in the two legs during a business he got for painting a house that would have fetched him 1,250, 000 Libyan money.
He narrated that the problem started when he demanded for his money half way into the job where he was reluctantly given N400, 000.
He added: “Immediately I got the money and at the weekend, my boys and I wanted to take a break to relax, the militants picked us up, collected all the money in our possessions, but I was dragging it with. It was then I was shot on the legs and dumped in dungeon where migrants are kept without medical treatment, but I was helped by other migrants inside the underground camp to remove the bullets in my legs and thanks be to God the wounds healed on it its own.”

Never Going Back
Vancouver Noir
SAM WIEBE
award winning crime writer
BUY VANCOUVER NOIR
VANCOUVER NOIR is the latest in the City Noir series from Akashic Books. I was lucky enough to edit this amazing anthology of dark crime stories set in Vancouver.
VANCOUVER NOIR features new stories from Timothy Taylor, Sheena Kamal, Nathan Ripley, Yasuko Thanh, Carleigh Baker, Dietrich Kalteis, Linda Richards, Robin Spano, Nick Mamatas, RM Greenaway, Don English, SG Wong, Kristi Charish...and yours truly. The astonishing cover art comes from the great Mel Yap.
From the introduction:
"You might wonder what shadows could exist in Vancouver, rain-spattered jewel of the Pacific Northwest. Nestled between the US border and the Coast Mountains, the city's postcard charms are familiar, even to those who've never been here, thanks to the films and TV shows shot in Hollywood North: The X-Files and Deadpool, Rumble in the Bronx and Jason Takes Manhattan. Vancouver is the so-called City of Glass. A nice place, in any case, and much too nice for noir. Looked at from afar, Vancouver may seem idyllic.
But living here is different--cold and baffling and occasionally hostile. While outsiders focus on high-test BC bud, locals see a heroin crises: Vancouver is home to the first legalized safe injection site in North America, now heavily taxed by overdoses resulting from street drugs cut with fentanyl. It's ground zero for the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls, a nationwide catastrophe involving the deaths and disappearances of hundreds of marginalized women. Money and status trample culture and community.
If Vancouver is a city of glass, that glass is underneath our feet."
Praise for Vancouver Noir:
"The stories range widely in their subject matter and writing styles, but they have a couple of things in common: impeccably rendered characters, dialogue that rings true, and a plot that pulls the reader in from the very first paragraph. Another winner in this always-interesting series and a real treat for fans of short crime fiction."
"Vancouver Noir is an excellent anthology that would appeal to short-story fans of all types...the new anthology serves as a fantastic introduction for those unfamiliar with the genre and a reminder that Canada, bursting with amazing writers, is one of the strongest countries for crime writing in the world."
Quill and Quire (starred review)
"Noir aficionados will find plenty to like"
"Given the book's mix of wily pros, moody misfits, bewildered bystanders, and a touch of the supernatural, Wiebe makes a strong case that as far as crime is concerned, Vancouver is "a city like any other.""
"This is the perfect balance of captivating page-turners and hard-hitting social noirs."
"All told, there can be no doubt that local crime fiction is having a moment, carving out a new, and very different, space within CanLit."
Montecristo Magazine
The 14 new stories here—selected by renowned Vancouver crime novelist Sam Wiebe,
who has himself contributed a tale—are by a heavy-hitting roster of local talent."
The Georgia Straight
"Vancouver is the noirest city in the country, and probably one of the noirest in the world
...be glad [Vancouver Noir] exists, and that it will do the work to wrench Vancouver’s identity away
from the banality of real estate into something chewy, like literary murder."
The Toronto Star
"Vancouver Gets its Moment of Noir--a great way to explore murder, violence,
abductions, and unhappy endings."

Announcements /
Rhetoric and health (ed. Maria Grazia Rossi)
Call for papers - Rivista Italiana di Filosofia del Linguaggio www.rifl.unical.it
Vol. 15, N. 1/2021 Rhetoric and health
Edited by Maria Grazia Rossi
Deadline: 20.01.2021
Words can act as a pharmakon, becoming a remedy or a poison. Considering both theoretical tenets and empirical findings, we have convincing evidence on the power of language and words in changing minds and fostering behavioural change.
In the context of health, it has been underlined how the quality of communication affect (clinical) outcomes, at the individual level (on patients) and the collective or societal level (on citizens). During the current COVID-19 pandemic, it has become even more clear that such communication effect is indirect and mediated by factors such as understanding, motivation, social assistance, trust in the system, etc. Words that are well-spoken but also, obviously, well understood can have a strong impact on the quality of our lives, concerning the clinical, emotional and social spheres. This is why the proper and effective use of words should be considered as a common ethical responsibility: it is an ethical responsibility for healthcare providers that directly take care of patients, but it is also a responsibility of public and private institutions working to promote behaviours favouring the adoption of a healthier life and the building of healthier societies, respectful of other people and more environmentally friendly. What happened from a communicative point of view to justify the need to activate a state of emergency and maintain lockdown restrictions is exemplary in this respect, also to discuss the conflict between values that is pervasive in our complex and interconnected societies. Even beyond the pandemic, many examples can be mentioned to discuss the importance of both the effectiveness and quality of communication. Take as examples social campaigns and/or advertisements on health issues related to cases such as the public debate on vaccination or antibiotic resistance, the social campaigns to combat pollution or against smoking in public spaces.
However, it is not obvious to find a consensual framework to define what counts as communication of quality, even if rhetoricians investigated heavily on this issue. Not necessarily a successful communication is also desirable from an ethical perspective. Obtaining persuasion – to be able to change attitudes and/or behaviours, it is not necessarily equivalent to do it in an ethically way. For example, implicit persuasion strategies often (but not always) can be described in terms of manipulation tools attempting to manipulate people and to change their habits. Again, this applies at the individual level within the interactions between patients and healthcare providers, with therapeutic recommendations described as genuine persuasive acts. At the collective level, it also applies to public communication, including the communication made on social networks, where fake news and misinformation spread even more quickly.
The links between rhetoric and health can be therefore analysed from two different points of view. From a linguistic point of view, the main problem is to figure out which communicative strategies are effective to persuade patients (and citizens) in changing a given behaviour and/or accepting the treatment more appropriate to a specific medical condition. From an ethical point of view, the main problem is to figure out which effective communicative strategies are legitimate, meaning they respect values defining both the patient (citizen) agenda and the doctor (political/health system) agenda. The discussions concerning the frameworks of value-based medicine and patient-centered medicine fit in this context, as well as fall in this debate the current attention given to the frameworks of narrative medicine and persuasive technology (applied to telemedicine, mobile apps, social networks, etc.).
Vol. 15, N. 1/2021 of RIFL expects to explore the links between rhetoric and health, accepting papers aim at considering the role of communication in the context of health, and papers considering persuasion from an ethical point of view – at the individual level (between patients and providers) and the collective/societal one (between institutions and citizens, between media and citizens).
Papers should be theoretical or empirical. All fields will be considered (Philosophy of Language, Classic studies, Literary studies, Linguistics, Psychology, etc.) if they are relevant to discuss the persuasive and/or the ethical dimension of communication in the context of health. Papers exploring the following areas are very welcome:
● Words and language as pharmakon
● Communicating science, communicating the COVID-19 pandemic
● Doctor-patient communication
● Persuasion, argumentation and manipulation in the context of health
● Ethic of the medical discourse and ethics for health
● Ethical relevance and effectiveness of narrative medicine
● Shared decision-making between patients and providers
● Social campaigns and advertisement for health
● Persuasive technology and health
● Social networks and seeking information on the web
● Value-based medicine
● Patient-based medicine
● Public opinion and health
● Visual persuasion and the role of images in the context of health
● Linguistic strategies developed for healthcare providers
● Emotions and interpersonal relations in the context of health
● Language and placebo effect
We call for articles in Italian, English and Portuguese. All manuscripts must be accompanied by an abstract (max 250 words), a title and 5 keywords in English.
The manuscript must be prepared using the journal template Download template. All submissions must be prepared by the author for anonymous evaluation.

You are at:Home»Navy»What's all that racket? It's just reveille
What's all that racket? It's just reveille
By Meghann Myers on November 19, 2013 Navy
Machinist Mate 1st Class Heath Maloon, right, blows a whistle as he and Master-at-Arms 2nd Class Matthew Duggan lower the flag at Naval Weapons Station Earle, N.J.
This past summer, the waterfront complex at Naval Weapons Station Earle, N.J., put in a new emergency broadcast system. Within weeks, the base was fielding calls from neighbors about the new and unwelcome noise.
The Asbury Park Press reported that neighbors have been asking the base to turn the volume down for the 8 a.m. “Call to Colors” and playing of the national anthem.
“Why should someone not in the service have to wake up to reveille?’” asked Bob Wille, a Belford, N.J., resident who has called to complain.
According to base spokesman Michael Brady, the new system went live a few months ago after at least three years with a broken system, during which the complex didn’t broadcast the ceremonies at all.
In the past few months, some residents have said they can hear the music playing over the sounds of traffic when they’re at home.
“We’re only asking them to drop the volume. We’re not against anything,” said Matt DiBenedetto, who has lived near the base for 29 years.
Others don’t mind at all. Korean War veteran Andrew Lucina has lived on 11th Street in Belford for 55 years, and said he looks forward to hearing the music each day and doesn’t feel sorry for those who might be sleeping at that time.
“Play it as loud as they want,” he said.
The base has been testing the system with sound meters in the Belford and Leonardo neighborhoods so they can adjust the volume to a more palatable level.
Funny enough, though, the big voice has been down since last Thursday. According to Brady, a radio transmitter failed and as of Tuesday morning, a contractor is working on repairs.
He told Navy Times they’re hopeful the system will be up and running by the end of the day.

I am Deaf and use American Sign Language. Ironically enough my name is Heath. Play the colors as loud as you want. If people do not want to live near a military base then move away. Colors or Reveille is a daily part of military life.
ian de leon on November 19, 2013 2:45 pm
i just want to say that 8 a.m. is not that early..
Beth on November 19, 2013 4:50 pm
Get over yourselves! All of these service members are out there fighting the good fight and you are mad that at 8 am you have to listen to the national anthem? What kind of person are you? For 25 my husband has served his country, I have also served my country and deployed to the Gulf in the 90’s to defend it. It makes me sick that people like you complain about such things. How does this hurt you? How do you let this ruin your day? You must be the kind of person who doesn’t pull over your car when a funeral procession goes by, or when a firetruck needs to pass to get to an emergency because you are WAY too important to be bothered! I wish I lived in your neighborhood, I would blast patriotic music from my car and drive up and down your street all day!
Nikkie on November 20, 2013 5:18 am
Get over it if you live near a base its a part of life. Besides 8 am is not early, be grateful it doesn’t play when the sun rises.
froggy on November 22, 2013 11:51 am
The Base needs to be a good neighbor and turn the noise down.
When I was in the Air Force we NEVER had to do the reveille crap. There is no need to bother folks not on the base or the guys who work nights on the base either.
Lone Sailor on November 23, 2013 12:33 am
You have all forgotten what happened across that bay, if it was 9-12-2001 you would all be crying like babies when 8 am hit and Reveille plays followed by the National Anthem. And Froggy your right you were in the Air Force, Y’all called it Retreat at 1700 and went home. Your the one that pisses me off more then the non military folk. Your a Vet, act like it. Your the kind that give the USAF a bad name. For you non-military. You complain about our Tradition, and National Anthem. It could be worse you could be hearing that horrible call to prayer those Muslims play at sunrise, Noon, and Sunset. Y’all could move to the middle east if ya want!

Analysis. History. Perspective.
Sports Then and Now
The Sad Demise Of West Indies Cricket
Posted on June 09, 2011 by Rod Crowley
By the end of the 1960’s the West Indies, under the inspired leadership of the game’s greatest ever player, Sir Garfield Sobers, had established themselves as the dominant cricket team in the world. Fifty years later they are almost nowhere to be seen!
The decline of cricket in the West Indies probably began in the mid 1980s but only became truly noticeable ten years or so later. At that time they still had the basis of a very strong bowling attack with Courtney Walsh and Curtley Ambrose assuming the mantle from the formidable quicks of the past. Bowlers such as Wes Hall, Charlie Griffith, Michael Holding, Malcolm Marshall, Joel Gardner and Andy Roberts to name but just a few who were all capable of putting the fear of the God’s into any batsman brave enough to face them at the crease, never failing to take wickets in the process.
In the 90s they also had Brian Lara, who arguably was the best batsman on the planet at that time, although Sachin Tendulkar fans would argue vehemently to the contrary. Lara came off the same conveyor belt of batsman as those before him, players who would play with ferocity, flair, style, timing and always with golden smiles on their relaxed faces. Who could possibly forget the contributions made at the crease by the likes of Sobers, Sir Viv Richards, Clive Lloyd, Desmond Haynes, Gordon Greenidge and Alvin Kallicharan?
From 1976 until 1991, the West Indies won 59 of 122 tests played, losing only 16 and were easily the best test team in the world. They soon became the best one day team in the world too, particularly once that version of the game began to flourish worldwide. Had T20 been around during those days, the other countries simply would not have turned up for the T20 World Cup, it would have been totally unfair.
Throughout the last century, each generation of West Indies cricket teams spawned their successors, cricket was the only game in those beautiful islands that anyone wanted to play. The stadium’s were crammed every match with the most colourful and musical crowds seen anywhere in the game. They were usually royally entertained by one or two outstanding innings played by one or two of their many outstanding batsmen. They relished too the cowering opposing batsman who had the temerity to stand up to their bowlers, before either having their wickets smashed or their fingers broken. It was often said that the short balls bowled by a West Indies bowler broke more hearts than it did digits!
Those halcyon days of West Indies cricket however seem to be over, other influences have arrived in the islands, mostly from their near neighbours, the USA. The extremely talented sportsmen the islands have always boasted are being tempted to try their hands at American sports while others take advantage of the educational facilities that become available to them from the States. Olympic Games 100 metre sprint champion, Usain Bolt, is a typical example of what outstanding athleticism can earn. He is already a multi-millionaire which is something that would have been impossible for him to achieve had he taken up his first sporting love, cricket, as his sport.
Many others are finding themselves involved in professional baseball and basketball, where money is the incentive and cricket is the forgotten. TV audiences in the country switch on to American TV these days dragging them further away from their sporting heritage and their potential future players further away from the game.
As it stands currently, the West Indies are ranked as the number seven of nine test playing teams in the world and are at number eight in the ODI rankings. Some are even suggesting that they may have to qualify to be involved in the next ODI World Cup, with teams like Zimbabwe, the Netherlands and Ireland threatening their position. All in all, it is a very sad demise and one as Michael Holding once said that they will never recover from.
Their current performances on in the series against India is evidence of just how far behind the West Indies have fall behind the game’s elite.

Matt Snell: Super Bowl Hero
December 24, 2020 | 4:06 pm
Matt Snell
The Vintage Sports Then and Now Athlete of the Month was the key weapon behind the most important upset in pro football history.
While Joe Namath was the face of the 1968 New York Jets and Super Bowl III, Matt Snell was the backbone of the New York offense and primary weapon during the shocking victory.
In many ways, the foundation for the 1968 championship squad started to be built in the 1964 AFL Draft when the Jets selected Snell, a star at Ohio State, with the third pick in the first round. Occurring at the height of the AFL-NFL player war, Snell was also drafted by the New York Giants in the 4th round of the NFL Draft (49th overall pick).

Obituary: Roland Tabell
by covwebster
Decrease font sizeAa↓ Increase font sizeAa↑
PASADENA, CA (March 21, 2016) — A memorial service for Roland Tabell, who had a major impact on Covenant hymnody, will be held at 2 p.m. on Saturday, April 16, at Pasadena Covenant Church.
Roland, 81, died March 2.
He was born December 3, 1934, in Tacoma, Washington, to William Bertel and Jean (Short) Tabell. He graduated from Moody Bible Institute and Wheaton College. After serving two years in the Army, he completed a master of music degree and did doctoral studies in church and choral music at the University of Southern California.
Roland and his wife, Betty (Kimbell), married in 1967.
Roland served as minister of music and worship at Pasadena Covenant Church for 38 years until his retirement in 1999. He also served on the Covenant’s Commission on Church Music and Worship, helping produce the silver songbook, The Song Goes On, and on the Hymnal Commission, which produced The Covenant Hymnal: A Worshipbook in 1996.
He is credited with arranging 17 of the selections in the hymnal, including “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel,” “How Can I Keep from Singing?” and “Come, Share the Lord.”
Roland published more than 30 choral arrangements and compositions, many created with Bryan Jeffery Leech. Together they also produced two musical dramas, “A Tale of Two Brothers” (the Prodigal Son story) and “Resurrection,” which was recorded with singers from Pasadena Covenant Church along with members of the London Symphony Orchestra.
Roland’s musical gifts were eclectic. Throughout his ministry, he was committed to inclusivity and creativity. He could move easily between Vivaldi and Hillsong, hymns and contemporary choruses, always choosing the richest texts and enhancing them with his arrangements.
In addition to his wife, Betty, Roland is survived by his daughters, Pamela (Roger) Wagner and Linda (Raimer) Rojas, as well as eight grandchildren.

Mark Stuckey says:
My condolences to the family. It wasn’t that long ago that I was chatting with Roland about worship leading. I grew up in Pasadena Covenant while he was the worship pastor. Being a worship pastor myself now in the ECC, I come across his brilliant work in the Covenant Hymnal often and remember him fondly. He was a wonderful man who had a beautiful heart for worship. He will be missed.
Pam Burnham says:
I grew up with Roland Tabell’s music, at Pasadena Covenant Church. My father (Arvid Carlson) was pastor there for most of my childhood, and Roland was an absolutely gifted music director. We were constantly treated to orchestras composed of his fellow musicians from the area, thrilling musical cantatas featuring choirs from young to old, and inspiring arrangements. Roland can never be replaced – he was one of a kind and the end of an era. What a loss!
Jean Trautwein Woodruff says:
Pam, So nice to see your comment here. Glad we were able to visit briefly at Samarkand awhile back.
Thank you for inviting me to the Wednesday after-school club at Peninsula Covenant Church. I had accepted Jesus as my Savior at age six during VBS at PCC. My family attended a very small church in the area so not many youth there. That made your friendship up into high school years very special. Happy Easter and all the best, Jean
Anita Leimone says:
I am very sorry to hear this news. He was a remarkable musician who I enjoyed working with arranging music for Bryan Jeffery Leech. His CD of hymn arrangements are incredibly moving and brilliant in bringing out the essence of music and lyrics.

The Big Dish Museum
Musician Spotlight
The Big Dish
The Big Dish formed in Lindsay’s native Airdrie in 1983 and came to the fore in 1986 with their first single ‘Big New Beginning’, a song about the move to, and life in a New Town. A string of crafted singles peppered the band’s first albums. From ‘Swimmer’ came ‘Prospect Street’, named after an Edward Hopper painting, it betrayed some of the formative influences Lindsay had discovered during his time at the Glasgow School of Art. ‘Slide, a salubrious shuffle-beat of a single brought acclaim from the critics who by now were comparing the band favourably with the likes of The Blue Nile, Prefab Sprout, The Bible, China Crisis and Tears for Fears. Some of the best and most bizarre pointers to the band’s sounds came via the pages of the teen press.
“Imagine Magazine’s ‘Shot By Both Sides’ sung by Donovan and you have some idea of The Big Dish’s epic sprawling moving sound.” Record Mirror (August 30, 1986)
“If Simple Minds were to record an album of decent Bucks Fizz tunes, chances are that it would sound something like this first album by The Big Dish.” Smash Hits (September 24, 1986)
Ever ready to join in the game a band member described The Big Dish as a “a cross between the Jesus And Mary Chain and… Peter Skellern.”
The fourth single from the debut album also took its title from a painting – Andrew Wyeth’s ‘Christina’s World”. It showed the band’s ability to crank it out in a more rocky idiom.
“’Swimmer’ bulges at the seams with potential hit singles,” wrote one hysterical critic. Alas it was all potential, no hits.
‘Creeping Up On Jesus’ the band’s second album, followed line-up changes and tentative live appearances. It was preceded by the gusto of ‘European Rain’ a single which, as with its successor ‘Faith Healer’, encapsulated Lindsay’s ability to pen consummate pop music.
1990 saw the band transfer allegiance (they were dropped by Virgin) to East West. A natural home for the band as parent company Warner Brothers had released two earlier albums in the U.S.. 1991 saw the first fruits of the band’s labours with producer Warne Livesey come forth. ‘Miss America’ upped The Big Dish’s stock and preceded the robust ‘Satellites’ album. The departure from East West was as sudden as it was unexpected. Shortly afterwards The Big Dish were no more, Lindsay preferring to work alone and under his own name.

The Luxor Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas: in the form of a house for the dead.
I need never return to Paris, my cab driver tells me without irony, because they have the Eiffel Tower here. As they have the Statue of Liberty. And the Sphinx. And the Giza Pyramid, done in all black, in which I am staying the night. And it does feel like a night outside time; a night with the dead. Inside this hollow structure they have an exhibition with – one is assured – “real artifacts” [sic] recovered from the Titanic. Inside this pyramid the walls are uniformly honeycombed with corridor balconies for rooms going all the way up to the top, like an ant colony. Inside this hive insectoid figures scuttle or drift, blank-eyed, to do the bidding of an invisible queen; to put money into boxes showing lights.
I am within the Luxor Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. Stepping inside takes your breath away – and then gives it back to you, all in a rush, because oxygen is pumped in through the air conditioning; to keep you awake and gambling. Walking in from the smog outside and inhaling this air has the same enlivening effect as a bucket of iced water and a slap in the face. And this artificial atmosphere is, in part, necessary, because the Luxor Casino – like all of the others in Vegas – has no windows. You can’t tell what time it is by any reference to the world outside, so the only suppression of your melatonin and the regulation of your body’s circadian rhythms come from the lights of the machine. You begin to breathe and sleep in time with this queen. There are no clocks either; your only appointment is an eternal one. The patterns in the carpets are uncomfortably geometric and their colours grotesque and clashing, designed to beguile the eye. Even this is deliberate; it keeps you looking up at the screen.
The name of this ant queen is Mammon, and her spell is the science of engineered addiction. In case you aren’t aware, attributes expressly designed to addict are likely incorporated into every social media app or program you use, every television channel you watch, every modern mall you visit, and into the very fabric, it seemed, of America. I made my first trip to the land of the free over three weeks this winter, and felt that it was hard to be just that.
It is in the food. In restaurants across the country, regardless of standing, it was difficult to find anything that wasn’t either emetically sweet or desiccatingly salty. Sugar alone creates dependency, but eating something very sweet also makes you crave something salted. And eating something salted makes you crave something sweet. Even things that weren’t supposed to be saccharine were made to be; unlike the meat in Europe with which I was familiar, everything across the pond seemed to have a sweet lardy quality of which you only get a hint in the very fattiest cuts of pork belly in France or Britain; that cloying oiliness; a slippery sweetness that seemed to run all the way through, in even the leanest parts. And the same tasted true of the other fats there; even the milk in my coffee.
The result of all of this sugar and salt was that I felt terrible all the time (no wonder one would want to gamble). This experience was no doubt amplified by the fact that I was travelling, and thus often had to eat richer restaurant food than wholesome home cooking as a large amount of my fare, but it was hard even to get a salad that wasn’t covered in cheese. When I thought it couldn’t get any worse I went to the South, where it did; my friends in Nashville had amusingly nicknamed the ten pounds one puts on in moving there the ‘Confederate Ten’.
In L.A. I began to notice – and find myself craving – an opposite extreme in terms of both diet and lifestyle. There’s a reason for the proliferation of health food shops, nutritionists, yoga studios, spinning classes, pilates workshops, supplement stores, and the like; ironically, they need the sweet and salty fast food to thrive; they need a rut people will pay to escape. Whilst I was there I started paying. I ate spirulina, drank shots of E3 Live algae, and put chlorophyll in my water. I had charcoal in the mornings, a B-vitamin complex powder drink for breakfast, and ordered bio-wines. By New York, my last destination, I found I had booked myself into a hotel with a yoga mat and block, a foam roller, an exercise ball, and a ‘workout area’ in every room; where half of the lobby was taken up by a gym; and where the other half was occupied by a restaurant called ‘Cork and Kale’ – which gives you an idea of its priorities. At the end of an exhausting trip, I was much in need of both vine and vegetation.
The Eiffel Tower, Las Vegas, Nevada.
Tradition and addiction, both, consist of habits. America’s youth – its relative lack of the history that begets the former – is visible even from far above. The first things that astonished me about the country came before I had even landed. I had never seen as much snow and ice for myself before until coming over Greenland – and then over the Atlantic which separates it from Canada, which seemed, similarly, to be mainly a field of icebergs permitting occasional glimpses of water. Then, however, after traversing the edge of Canada and coming over the corners of North Dakota and Montana, whilst the snow continued it began to be scored by roads – roads like none I had ever seen. As though God had dropped a net over the landscape, the white was scored with a graph of perfect squares; these geometric paths connecting nothing to nothing.
The cities are drawn like this too. European cities are higgledy-piggledy, their roots having grown up organically over time. America’s hothouse habitations, made all at once, have no such intricacies; no wrinkles holding a past. Los Angeles, where I landed, has a markedly different structure to any other city I had ever seen: it has no local high streets or small local supermarkets mixed in with residential buildings; offices and shops and living areas tend to be entirely separated – or at least they were thus on the outskirts, where I was staying. You can’t really walk out to get your groceries – or walk anywhere, for that matter (perhaps one reason why Americans tend to be more friendly with their neighbours, since to see anyone else you have to get in the car). An arterial motorway – the 405 freeway – runs through the centre of the city.
The sky is bigger there too; but lower, pressing closer on you than other skies. You see much more of it – perhaps because the buildings have fewer storeys and the streets are wider – but in a way that feels deafening rather than ebullient. Space can annihilate the spirit as much as cramped closeness. The strip malls show it. In front of each façade of stores there is a large tarmac expanse for parking, then a six-lane road with traffic streaming by, across the other side of which there is another tarmac expanse and, facing those across the road, another set of near-identical stores. The shops themselves look as though they are made of clapboard – so much structure in America looks weak and impermanent; just a stand in for some solidity about to come – and I feel like I could kick a hole through the frontings. “You probably could” jokes a woman at a party when I say so.
And in this particular city where culture is business, not history – in the land of Hollywood – I felt that this desolation begat another kind of dependency. At every corner, advertised in neon lights, there was a psychic, a palm-reader, a Church of Scientology or a Christian Science Reading Room, a Baptist Church or – lest we forget its religious origins – a yoga studio. It felt as though desire – an evident, and evidently monetisable, need for satisfaction – was diffracted by the very landscape itself.
Perhaps I sound provincial; reactionary or close-minded; a naïve painter of generalisations; or perhaps all of these things. Let me make clear that I am detailing only one aspect of my observations, and not everything fell through the same lens. But I nevertheless felt I was touching on something true; in some ways my relative innocence of the country permitted a freshness that felt like a boon.
And I wonder whether, in fact, America’s new leader isn’t cut from this same cloth; whether Donald Trump, or his media persona, might be addictive by design. We refer to activities as addictive when we tend to perform them in contravention of our long-term interests or more rational desires. The attention provided to Trump by those who don’t support his policies seems to fit just that model. He had his training in television; a medium that the average American watches for five hours a day, and which is structurally addictive: in a 2009 study viewers registered higher levels of enjoyment during television programmes when those programmes are interrupted.1 And Trump, too, knows how to keep the public tuned in. He offers a monstrously powerful package of media attractions: a pre-existing celebrity profile and brand name; outrageous and contradictory claims and policies; continual gaffes, offensive statements and horrific sound-bytes; an extraordinary personal appearance; a distinctive linguistic manner; the unlikely outsider story; a genuinely memorable slogan; and much besides. His is an imago from which you cannot look away; the ultimate clickbait.
Media scientists distinguish between two types of publicity; unearned and earned. Unearned publicity concerns that which is paid for – i.e. Presidential ad spending – whilst ‘earned’ coverage is that which is not bought. In February 2016 Trump paid for $10 million dollars of unearned media coverage but earned $400 million in free coverage – according to mediaQuant, a firm that tracks media coverage of each candidate and computes a dollar value based on advertising rates. Over the twelve months until the election Trump earned $4.96 billion in media coverage; Clinton earned $3.24 – still a record, but 53% less than Trump, and much doubtless due to his magnetism. He outpaced her in every media segment, but most significantly in Twitter, where he showed 142% more media value. How?
I offer you this: in November, in an attack on CNN disputing his claims concerning voter fraud, Trump retweeted a sixteen year-old boy from Beverley Hills called Seth Morton. Enormous coverage of the event – and his defence – ensued. He has since tweeted or retweeted, deliberately or accidentally – and including an Ivanka from Brighton whose handle he supposedly misused instead of his daughter’s – several ‘normal’ people. In Las Vegas, the slot machines are engineered such that, whilst the symbols representing the jackpot themselves have a low likelihood of coming up, the symbols adjacent are rendered by the computer more likely than the others to arise, creating a sensation of ‘near misses’ designed to make you think that you keep almost winning. That the jackpot could, at any moment, be yours. Perhaps, if you keep talking about Trump, the next person he retweets might be you. The President is a star of reality television – perhaps he feels just within our reach.

House Democrats At Odds After 2020 Election Losses – NPR
November 15, 2020 Staff
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., downplayed Houses losses in this year’s elections, pointing out that Democrats made historic gains in 2018. J. Scott Applewhite/AP hide caption
Updated at 10 a.m. ET
House Democrats started this month hoping, and preparing, to gain seats in the election. Instead, their once-robust majority in the House has dwindled, and Democrats are on track to begin next year with the slimmest majority in decades.
Now members on the progressive left and Democratic Party moderates are again at odds over whose policies won in 2020 and how they should govern as a party.
Some Democrats are frustrated that the debate is happening at all. Joe Biden won the presidential election, and Democrats will hold their majority in the House. While control of the Senate is still to be decided, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., returned to Washington, D.C., after the election to celebrate the wins that have already materialized.
“We’ll be able to do great things for the American people,” Pelosi told reporters at a news conference. “We’ve lost some battles, but we won the war. We have the gavel.”
But Democrats lost a lot of battles. House Republicans have gained a net seven seats and have advantages in several races that have yet to be called, despite going into the election with the expectation that Democrats could win as many at 15 seats.
Polling on both sides of the aisle showed Democrats with advantages in key districts in states like Texas and Indiana, where they hoped to gain new seats. Tight races in places like Iowa and New York broke in favor of Republicans when the votes were tallied.
Debate about messaging
Democrats’ losses have been heavily concentrated in the “majority-maker” districts — areas where Democrats defeated Republicans in 2018. Some progressive members, such as Congressional Progressive Caucus Co-Chair Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., say that isn’t a surprise.
“I think people are mourning the loss of some colleagues that wasn’t as expected as it should have been,” Jayapal said in an interview with NPR. “I think we just have to be real about what happened here. And we should focus on our long-term organizing strategy, because I think that is what is ultimately going to help us.”
For progressives such as Jayapal, that long-term organizing strategy involves bringing out young, diverse new voters who are energized by progressive policies like “Medicare for All,” a $15 minimum wage and an aggressive approach to curbing climate change.
Jayapal points to enormous turnout in cities such as Atlanta as an example of what an energized coalition can do. Those voters have boosted Biden’s numbers in Georgia, putting him ahead and on the verge of winning that state for Democrats after decades of Republican wins.
She and other progressives say that they helped drive the party’s national platform to the left on major social issues and that this, in turn, motivated voters to the polls. She says progressives also worked as emissaries for the party in communities that voted in huge numbers this year.
“[Progressives] helped Joe Biden deliver a very progressive agenda,” Jayapal said. “That led to this huge turnout of young people, Black and brown and immigrant voters that delivered us victories in these key states.”
Moderates say big progressive turnout in cities and suburbs may drive up Democrats’ numbers in statewide and presidential races, but in their closely divided districts, they argue, some progressive messages can turn toxic.
Rep. Abigail Spanberger was narrowly reelected in a Virginia district that went for Republicans from 1971 until she won in 2018. She says Democrats need to focus more on proactive messages and passing bills that speak to people, like funding for education and expanded rural broadband. She told NPR the party needs to be communicating to all voters, not just a progressive base, about how those policies impact them.
“I think it’s important that we recognize that, you know, while importantly and wonderfully Joe Biden is our president-elect, the man he ran against, our current president, got 70 million Americans to vote for him,” Spanberger said in an interview. “We are asking for people to give us the responsibility of legislating. And we have to be clear on what we intend to do with that responsibility.”
“Defund the police” cited as main impediment with swing voters
Moderates say they’ve been hamstrung by political slogans that don’t actually reflect the policies Democrats have passed — like “defund the police.”
House Democrats passed a sweeping police reform package this year called the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act. That bill outlaws chokeholds, gives the Justice Department greater power to intervene in use-of-force cases, creates a national registry for police conduct complaints and restructures the pipeline of military equipment to local police departments. It does not defund the police.
“People know what the term ‘defund’ means,” Spanberger said. “I have had people just across the spectrum say they don’t want to see police departments defunded.”
But “defund the police” was an effective attack line for Republicans in tight races where Democrats lost. One example is Rep. Max Rose, D-N.Y., who lost in a district that was blanketed with an ad of retired New York City police officers talking about how Rose betrayed them.
“He promised us that he was going to support the police, and then he marches with people looking to defund the police,” recounts an officer in the ad.
This division isn’t new for Democrats. Pelosi often says the diversity of her caucus extends to some parts of their ideology. That is something Democrats often publicly celebrate, but the divisions become more critical as they look ahead to legislate with President-elect Biden.
Both sides of the party are looking for someone to blame as the losses sink in. Some blame the polls. Some blame internal calculations at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. The finger-pointing boiled over in a party conference call recently, and DCCC Chairwoman Cheri Bustos, D-Ill., announced a few days later that she would not seek reelection to that leadership job.
Pelosi and her top leadership team are expected to be easily reelected to their posts, but the race for who will succeed Bustos has intensified.
Rep. Tony Cardenas of California, who is running to lead the DCCC, says it’s wrong to argue that the party must choose between either retaining disaffected Republicans and moderates or winning over progressives.
“I think the emphasis of trying to hold on to a certain type of voter is the wrong place to start,” Cardenas said in an interview with NPR.
Cardenas said Democrats can win by connecting with diverse voters and winning their trust. But, he said, the party also must do the basic job of passing bills and getting legislation done.
“Unfortunately, we have a lot of good candidates who their message gets overshadowed by millions of dollars of the Republican message that just literally doesn’t even use their own words,” Cardenas said. “And those are the kinds of tactics that we’re having to combat.”
That’s something most Democrats agree on. They say the next election won’t be centered on Democrats running against President Trump. They’ll be running on a record they plan to build with Biden.
Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney of New York, who is competing against Cardenas to run the campaign committee, agreed. Maloney said Democrats in the House will be working on a Biden agenda and will have all of the power and support that being of the party with a president in the White House affords.
“Joe Biden is the perfect president for the moment,” Maloney said. “He will help us turn the corner on the pandemic, get our businesses going again, open the economy responsibly and heal the wounds and repair some of the damage from the Trump years.”
But Maloney added that Democrats will also benefit from time.
“I also believe we’ll be entering the cycle next time with the pandemic, God willing, in the rearview mirror and an economy that’s in full rebound,” he said.
Deciding which elements of the Biden agenda to enact first will be part of the challenge. Progressives want to see health care reforms and elements of the Green New Deal at the top of the list.
Biden himself has signaled plans to focus heavily on making the fight against COVID-19 his No. 1 priority.
Many Democrats say a tightly tailored focus on the virus, the economy and kitchen-table issues could unite them. Rep. Debbie Dingell, D-Mich., said Democrats need to keep that in mind as they define their agenda.
“We’re going to have to do core agenda items like trade deals that level the playing field — broadband, so that as we’re dealing with a pandemic, that urban schools and rural schools have the same access and equal opportunity so that everybody’s got an education,” Dingell said. “The most important, valuable thing to have, we need to make sure that every young person can afford a college education and not graduate with staggering student debt — talking about just these issues that matter every day.”
Dingell says that the political environment has strayed far from that basic political work in the Trump years and that Democrats have a chance to win over a wider range of voters by renewing that focus.
“There’s more agreement on that,” she said. “There’s more agreement than disagreement.”

Charlotte and Julie Bonaventura about the final decision of the WCh-final
photo: Tamas Csonka
The French Handball Federation asked Charlotte and Julie Bonaventura , the referees who whistled the final between Spain and Netherlands at the IHF World Championship in Kumamoto , Japan, last weekend, about their decision made in the last 7 seconds at the game.
The result was 29-29 and at 59’53 ‘‘ Spain lost the ball by Cabral Barbosa shooting precipitated, Tess Wester saved the ball and had the intention to start a fastbreak. At this moment Spanish Ainoha Hernandez blocked the Dutch goalkeeper in her throw-out and the ball could not leave the 6-meter area before the blocking hand stopped it.
The French referees whistled immediately and the Netherlands got a 7-meter penalty right after Hernandez had to leave the court with a red card. Lois Abbingh scored on 7-meter and the Netherlands become World Champions.
photo: screenshot caption from internet
Charlotte and Julie Bonaventura about the situation and the decision:
“Our role is to apply the regulations (The rules applied: 12:1, 12:2 and 8:10 -the last 30 seconds rule – by editor ). At the time of decision-making, we have zero doubt. I was positioned right next to the action (Julie) and I had the best view. At the time of the block, the ball had not completely crossed the goal area. It happened in the last 30 seconds, so it resulted in a red card and a 7m throw. The reserve referees, positioned in the center, also saw the same thing. They confirmed it to us after the match. At this point in the game, you need to have enough mental freshness to analyze the situation and decide calmly. This may be challenging but there was no use of video on this World Cup. The decision was logical and an official statement from the IHF was not needed. ( Spanish Ramon Gallego, from IHF made a statement about referee activity at the tournament later after the final)
“In this world championship, before the final, there had been no situation in the last 30 seconds, this proves that the life of a referee is not easy and quiet. It makes people talk and it shows, if it were still necessary, that arbitration is not simple. You have to know the rules in all their finesse. Watching handball matches on tv on Wednesdays is not enough to become an expert, whether player, coach or referee.

Taylor Swift's 'folklore' Concert Film Exudes Hygge Directed by Taylor Swift
By Alex Hudson
Nearly everything about coronavirus lockdown sucks: the loneliness, the boredom, the fear of getting sick. But there's at least one good thing for those fortunate enough to be spending so much time at home — the coziness. You can wear pyjamas all day, snack almost constantly, and go months without a haircut.
Taylor Swift's new self-directed quarantine concert film, folklore: the long pond studio sessions, is all about coziness. Recorded at co-producer Aaron Dessner's beautiful barn-turned-studio in Upstate New York, the whole thing exudes hygge. It's all comfy couches, flannel, messy bangs, exposed wood paneling, and collaborator Jack Antonoff swimming in his two-sizes-too-large leather jacket. With windows looking out on trees, a lake and a fire pit, the intimate performance is an oasis of tranquility in a chaotic time.
The hour-and-a-half-long film features stripped-down renditions of every track from this year's folklore (including bonus cut "the lakes"), plus between-song discussions of each track. These yield plenty of interesting insights and factoids about folklore's generally un-autobiographical songwriting. Swift is one of those lyricists whose songs have a deep well of hidden meaning, as if each one is a snippet of a much larger story; it's interesting, then, to learn that "betty" and "august" and "cardigan" all involve the same characters, or that secret folklore collaborator William Bowery is actually a pseudonym for her real-life boyfriend, Joe Alwyn.
Swift has a wonderful rapport with longtime collaborator Antonoff, as the pair banter back and forth and Swift cracks a couple of laugh-out-loud jokes. Her conversations with Dessner are more stilted, but they eventually get to some compelling and frank discussions of mental health.
But, of course, the real draw here is the music. The trio arrangements aren't all that different from the ones on folklore, but everyone sounds spot-on. Swift brings intense conviction when delivering the poignant lyrics in "my tears ricochet" and "this is me trying." Best of all, "exile" features a jaw-dropping contribution from Bon Iver's Justin Vernon, who appears remotely from his studio in Wisconsin; he looks a bit creepy with a handkerchief pulled up over his face and a hat down over his eyes, but his powerfully projected high notes in the song's soaring bridge are spine-tingling.
The performances are filmed simply, with just a few cameras (and someone hiding behind the computer monitors in the corner, presumably overseeing the technical aspects). The slowly tracking camera moving over Swift has a slightly unnatural, shaky quality, but it's otherwise unobtrusively filmed, putting the focus squarely on the performances.
With sad songs and a stripped-down format, the long pond studio sessions is a fitting document of a strange time in history — a moment when even the biggest pop star on Earth holed up and got cozy and insular. (Disney)

Taste what dating too much competition are mistaken
TL;DR: OkCupid took what young people hate about basic swiping apps and corny dating sites and rebranded into a hip middle ground. Its multi-faceted matchmaking, spotlight on social justice, and low price point make it stand out from competitors. Let's cut the mushy bullshit and get straight to the point: Online dating gets old real fast. Connecting with people you likely wouldn't have met before sounds amazing at first, but the steps preceding that potential success story can be cumbersome. What's the point of answering questions that everyone lies about anyway if a site's algorithm ignores your filters regardless? All it gets you is weirdos terrorizing your inbox, people who are about to retire , or someone who just wants to bang , even if you requested to only see users who marked that they're ready to get monogamous.
If you're woke, liberal, and horrified by the dumpster fire that is our current political climate, this is the site for you. Right wingers, you should just exit now and sign up for eharmony - it has history of learning conservative. With OkCupid's recent makeover came a ton of politically charged questions as a way to weed out the not-so-progressive users. They want to know your opinion on issues such as abortion, immigration, guns, and more to make sure you and your potential partners have political views that are aligned.
OkCupid will use these answers to tell potential matches how liberal you are and vice versa, and it's always a plus if you can avoid heated arguments down the road. According to OkCupid's blog :. Thank you for adding to the vibrancy of the OkCupid community. An online dating site that's open and welcoming to even the quirkiest singles and embraces differences and variety of its users should be a given - not a bonus.
Unfortunately, a lot of OkCupid's competitors have some growing up to do. You go, OkCupid.
You go. If you're feeling hopeless about finding love at all, you won't be after being on OkCupid. I literally had likes after having my profile up for two days. OkCupid has such a massive user base with such a wide variety of people, there's no way you're not gonna find a ton of people who find you exactly their type.
The app has that standard swiping app feel but less "I'm judging you solely on your face" vibes. You see one profile at a time and swipe right or left depending on whether or not you're interested, with random profile-building questions thrown in at times to narrow down your pickings even more.
If you want more freedom to peruse the dating pool, there's also a discover section. See what potential matches are talking about, search for names, or even type in a hobby, musical artist, or show to see which users near you mentioned the same thing.
It's chill and simple enough to do while you're waiting in line at the store or sitting on the train, all while feeling more sincere than Tinder.
OkCupid's overhaul brought a lot of positive changes, but some users weren't psyched about one in particular. In latethe site decided it would require users to use their real names on their profile instead of usernames like AFunnySassygirl or Superlonelyman.
Though it was a goodhearted attempt to make the experience seem more real and less like a creepy AIM chatroom, people especially women were pissed. Being required to give your real name to any and every stranger on the site felt like a huge invasion of privacy to a lot of people, and with the way desperate users can sometimes seem like stalkers, we don't blame them.
If you appreciate the uniform feel of Tinder or Hinge and find usernames super lame, maybe you'd actually like OkCupid more for this. OkCupid received so much backlash that they recanted the policy and said that users can also use a nickname or initials.
OkCupid doesn't have open messaging, meaning randoms can no longer message you before you two have matched.
Dating too much competition
This can be good or bad depending on how you prefer the conversation to start: I personally enjoy it, as one main problem with online dating in general is that ladies get harassed by men who flood their inboxes. It's genuinely overwhelming and I'd prefer to only be messaged by people I already gave the go-ahead to. Bumble combat this by only letting women message first. Like me, some people were stoked on this. user reciphered writes:. I send fewer messages and I receive higher quality responses.
I believe this is all because of the requirement to match before messaging. Now women are required to seek out desirable profiles in order to interact with users on the site - just like the men. I also really like how doubletake has shown me interesting profiles that I wouldn't have found with browsing. The only downside is the low population compared to Tinder.
I assumed that only annoyingly persistent men would dislike this change, but according toa lot of ladies also aren't feeling it either:. I either have to "like" people fairly indiscriminately to leave myself open to conversation, or I have to close doors on potential conversation that could be worthwhile. I was doing just fine having the block feature, or simply not responding to people who weren't worth my time.
Luckily, OkCupid's DoubleTake profile allows you to see a good amount of info on a person before you swipe, so you're not about to match with people blindly more on that later. If the closed messaging is the most annoying thing on the site, that's not too shabby. If you're not getting the attention and messages you think you deserve, there's an option to boost your profile to get you a full day's worth of activity in just 15 minutes.
The community is actually huge on OkCupid, and while all dating sites receive their fair share of shit ors do not hold back on giving their opinionsI genuinely feel like OkCupid has the most nice things said about it.
Or the least mean things.
Jul 12, � Maybe I'm too old and probably more than a little weird. I'm proud of myself for trying though. It was hard going on a date for the first time in 30 years, but I survived the experience. 5 out of 5 people found this Review helpful. Do you? Yes No. Too Much Competition | 0 treasuresforthesoul.com is a resource for online dating which includes /5. OkCupid falls under both the classic dating site category and the swiping app category, which also means that they have way more competition than most one-or-the-other platforms do. Too much competition I struggle thinking about all the competition we face in dating. I'm not bad looking but there's so many beautiful girls out there, men have so much choice!
Close enough. This blog even put together a guide on OkCupid advice that ors have given over the past few years. The site is basically fully functional with the free membership, and we give them props for that. Most dating sites make you pay to do literally anything besides signing up. Those prices won't set you back nearly as much as another site would, and it's nice that you're able to test out the site for free before deciding to go all in.
You'll have to subscribe to the A-List for more premium features like getting rid of ads, seeing people who have liked you before you like them, read receipts, automatic boosts, and more. You can get a lot done on the free version, but you'll probably look like a more trustworthy member if people know you're paying to be on the site. Either way, it's a total bang for your buck. One bomb free feature is Double Take. Released inDouble Take acts as a kind of insurance.
It uses what you filled out in your "Looking for" section and tries to send you new people that they think match up with your ideal boo. It's a clutch way to discover profiles you wouldn't have found just by browsing, and it gives more info and more pictures than regular matches show to give you an extra deep look into what they have to offer.
A new "recommended for you" layout in Double Take lets you get extra specific with things you're looking for. Have something you're not willing to budge on? For the questions you marked as "important" or "extra important" on your profile, OkCupid will group matches together that answered the way you marked. This is essentially the place for everyone who takes dating seriously, but still wants to have fun and skip the pressure of settling down.
Though OkCupid's advertisements may have "DTF" plastered all over them, the site's intentions and matchmaking process are no joke. It might take some time and genuine effort to make a profile, but that's what you want if you're looking for something real.
You'll fill out a questionnaire with your answers as well as what you would like your ideal match to answer. This makes the application-building process a lot more fun than other apps, making it feel like an online quiz.
It asks a range of questions, from simple stuff to whether you smoke and drink to more intimate things like how many dates you typically wait before sleeping with someone. Pro tip: The app says that the more questions you answer, the better your matches will be.
Match Member Reviews and Ratings
The deeper you go, the more accurate your profile is. In turn, OkCupid will have a way easier time finding matches for you. Like we said in our eharmony reviewjust because you're bored with Tinder doesn't mean eharmony or a site with the same expectation to settle down is the next step.
Jun 03, � Or it may be about who's smarter or quicker with a joke. Or you may be vying for attention and control of the conversation when you go out with friends. But regardless of exactly what causes it, too much competition can wear on a relationship and begin to break down many of the good things you two have built together. Too Much Competition Online Dating, stroh dating, aurangabad free dating, tasmanian dating ads. Latest status messages. Anal escorts, athens escorts, Escorts, Escorts Santorini, Los Angeles escorts, Luxury Escorts Athens, New York Escorts, Vip Mykonos Escorts. / It's because online dating is deceiving. It promotes itself as an easier alternative to "real" dating but is actually considerably more work for the average guy. Let me explain by starting with the female perspectives I've heard. I've spent around.
A lot of those users are older, divorced, and have kids, and there's a much slimmer selection of young people in that gray area. OkCupid seems ideal for the person who's trying to marry the next person they date, even if they idea of marriage and kids makes them slightly nauseated. The LGBTQ community finally has a safe space in the online dating world that is, one that's not a super niche lesbian or gay-only appand those who usually vote liberally can make sure they're not going on a date with someone whom they'd want to fight on Facebook.
Get with the times, people. Some people seem to be using OkCupid like Tinder and were only visiting, while most will specify exactly what they're looking for in their bios, so confusion about intentions should be minimal. It's serious, but not serious. And then there's the political ct of it. While most dating sites refuse to take sides, OkCupid has made it clear that they care about social justice issues. That's not to say that it's not worth a shot, but if you're trying to cast your net as wide as possible, another site where these issues aren't highlighted may give you better luck.
As with any dating site, there will be the one-star ratings, enthusiastically negative reviews, and complaints from people about things that the site itself has no control over. No, Karen, it is not OkCupid's fault that John ghosted you.
Dead profiles, catfishing, and getting abruptly suspended is annoying. OkCupid has its fair share of each, but unfortunately, it's nearly impossible to guarantee that a site is completely free of flaws.
Get Started: Sign up for Free
OkCupid does try to combat fake profiles by having users connect an Instagram account, which is way harder to fake than an online dating profile.

City earn crucial first home league win of the season (by Rhod Mitchell, West Briton)
Truro City 3 AFC Totton 2
At the eighth attempt, City earned their first home Calor League premier division victory of the season on a dramatic night at Treyew Road
Two goals by Liam Eddy and a headed winner from skipper Paul Kendall gave City a precious three points against their fellow strugglers, who they famously beat in the 2007 FA Vase final at Wembley.
The only negative was the late dismissal of midfielder Joe Broad, who played in that final, for kicking the ball away in stoppage time after having earlier been booked for a foul.
But that could not take away the relief for the home side in what was a real “six pointer”.
And they got off to a great start with Eddy latching onto Broad’s pass down the left after just two minutes and cleverly chipping Totton keeper Matt Fredericks to make it 1-0.
However, City were unable to build on that goal and gradually the Hampshire side started to get back into the game, with Ollie Chenoweth bravely denying Liam Triggs.
But the City keeper had no chance after 26 minutes when the home defence stood off, allowing George Branford to fire home a great drive into the top corner from 25 yards.
And the teams went in deadlocked at 1-1, but it was the visitors who started the second half the better and went ahead after 63 minutes when poor City defending from a corner allowed Jamel Branker to score from close range.
Lady Luck has not always been on City’s side this season, but it did shine on them 17 minutes from time when Fredericks allowed an Eddy shot to squirm under his body for a home equaliser.
And two minutes later City were in front with Kendall heading home Jamie Lowry’s right wing corner.
And it proved to be the winner though City lived dangerously at times with Chenoweth saving well from Roberts with Shane White then blocking the follow up effort.
And in stoppage time there was a huge home sigh of relief when substitute Taylor Edwards' lob went just wide with Chenoweth out of position after making a save.
Broad then saw red but it was no more than an irritant on what could prove to be a crucial turning point in City’s season as they moved up two places to 18th in the table.
CITY: Chenoweth; Tully, Kendall, Pugh, White, Cooke, Broad, Lowry, Brokenshire (Slateford 68), Afful, Eddy. Subs (not used): Sims, Evans, Copp, Watson.
Red card (two yellows): Broad (90+3).
AFC TOTTON: Fredericks; Onoufriou (capt), Triggs (House 79), McCarthy, Flooks, Hibberd, Branker, Brandford, Moth, Roberts, Mouland (Edwards 82). Subs (not used): Hurst, Ross, Hollick.
Yellow cards: Hibberd, Onoufriou.
Half time: 1-1.
Goals: Eddy (2) 1-0, Branford (26) 1-1, Branker (63 ) 1-2, Eddy (73) 2-2, Kendall (75) 3-2.
Referee: Andrew Bennetts (Okehampton).
City man of match: Liam Eddy, the young striker took his tally to the season to six and is rapidly coming to terms with playing at this level.
A reply to a Truro City supporter from The Manager
Following a fair amount of disquiet in the social media towards Steve Massey and following requests from fans for an explanation of tactics immediately after the Cambridge game, Truro City Manager Steve Massey, replies to supporters' concerns.
His response is below (as detailed on the official TCFC site today):
"Dear xxxxxxx
I understand that you have some concerns about the direction the first team is taking. Although we have suffered some losses recently, we have also beaten Banbury who were 5th in the table, an excellent win, and put in some very good performances that quite frankly have deserved much more than the results have shown. In fact this last Saturday yet another manager (Gary Roberts, Cambridge) is astonished that we are where we are with performances we have been giving.
I realise that there was / is a need to introduce new, experienced players into the squad. Indeed over the last few weeks, that has been done, Our mission to date of giving the finest local talent the opportunity to compete and succeed at this level will continue. Liam Eddy, Ollie Brokenshire and Neil Slateford have come on extremely well during the last month and remember Captain Jake Ash is only where he is now by being given the opportunity when considered inexperienced. He is now considered one of the best footballers to wear the Truro shirt.
It takes a brave manager to give youngsters the chance. Some players will unfortunately fail, others will not, but they will be thankful for the opportunity. That’s where TCFC finds itself at the present time: balancing experience and new young talent/youth.
I would welcome the opportunity to chat this through with you in person, as I feel that a face-to face discussion will be more beneficial. I recommend an agenda that looks at management strategy, individual player skills and the season to date.
It might also be useful, for you and the players, for you to visit the dressing room. I am sure that to see their commitment will help, in part, to allay any fears you may have.
In the meantime I thank you for your continued and valued support of our great club.
I look forward to hearing from you regarding a suitable meeting time and venue.
Steve Massey"
Pitch update ahead of the Totton game
Truro City vs. AFC Totton tomorrow evening Pitch Update
Following a tremendous amount of work carried out on the pitch by Tich and Tom over the weekend and again today, it looks like “GAME ON” at Treyew Road tomorrow evening.
The decision was taken last week to leave the grass as long as possible within accepted tolerances to preserve cover in anticipation of the forecasted inclement weather. This has no doubt helped the current situation. Steve Massey inspected the pitch at midday and is more than happy with the pitch condition. A further precautionary inspection will take place at 10am tomorrow by the appointed Referee.
Cambridge match report by Rhod Mitchell
Truro City 0 Cambridge City 1
Truro’s search for their first home Calor League premier division win of the season goes on after they went down to fifth defeat in seven games at Treyew Road.
An early goal by Josh Dawkin was enough to give the visitors the win, which moved them up into fourth in the table.
City battled hard for an equaliser, but the ball just would not run for them in front of goal.
They probably deserved a point from the game, but the result leaves them fourth from bottom of the table ahead of Tuesday night’s massive home game against fellow strugglers AFC Totton.
And under pressure City boss Steve Massey after the game blasted a handful of “uneducated” supporters who had criticised him as he left the pitch.
“No one is more disappointed than me and the players,” he said.
“I thought we played really well against a top six side and showed what we are capable of.
“In the second half I honestly thought it was going to come.
“This is the time for everyone to stay strong. We all believe what we are doing. There is some thing very special in that dressing room and we will prove it in time.”
Truro began brightly enough, with Les Afful heading over from Liam Eddy’s right wing cross, while Cody Cooke brought a good save out of Enol Ordonez and Paul Kendall headed over.
But from their first meaningful attack after 11 minutes Cambridge went ahead when Dawkin beat Ollie Chenoweth with a rather scuffed shot into the bottom corner.
The goal knocked City out of their stride and Dawkin went close to a second, with Chenoweth denying top scorer Adam Marriott.
In the second half, with the wind at their backs, City had the lion’s share of the pressure.
Eddy shot into the side netting, while Cooke shot over from 12 yards with Ordonez denying both Afful and Eddy in hectic finale with Kendall heading wide of the far post at the death.
The visitors also had their chances as City left gaps at back, with Chenoweth denying Marriott and Will Lawton having a shot deflected just over.
But it was City who were left frustrated at the final whistle and will hope their luck in front of goal changes against AFC Totton.
Truro City: Chenoweth; Tully, Pugh, Kendall (capt), White (Sims 85); Lowry; Cooke (Slateford 77), Broad, Brokenshire (Evans 77); Afful, Eddy. Subs (not used): Copp, Watson.

Cambridge City: Ordonez; Ramm, Brighton, Lawton, Chaffey (capt), Farrell, Lewis, Beech, Marriott, Beasant, Dawkin (Allen 64). Subs (not used): Prada, Pepper, Midgley.

Cambridge City's match report
Long distance City bring home the points Posted by Webmaster
Cambridge City returned from their 600 mile round trip with a well earned three points having overcome not only the opposition, but also a bobbly pitch and gale force wind.
Truro started the better with City forced to play on the break, however Cambridge City used that to their advantage on 12 mins with Josh Dawkin applying the finish to a flowing move. Dawkin went close on 25 mins and Adam Marriott went clean through 5 mins later but in trying a lob, provided the keeper with an easy stop. Truro had plenty of the ball but failed to seriously test Enol Ordonez in the City goal and the half almost ended on a high for City, but Marriott's goal was disallowed.
With the wind at their backs, Truro pressed City in the 2nd half with Will Lawton forced to make two great clearances. However, it was Cambridge City who looked most likely to score with Marriott spinning and shooting only to see his effort defelected wide. Lawton saw a header cleared off the line before City had Ordonez to thank for a fine double stop in injury time to secure the win.

Bridgwater Town claim cup scalp in dramatic shoot-out (Bridgwater Mercury)
BRIDGWATER Town booked their place in the next round of Red Insure Cup with a dramatic penalty shoot-out victory over Truro City at Fairfax Park last night (Tuesday October 22).
After a 3-3 draw in normal time, the tie went straight to penalties where the Robins triumphed 6-5.
The result is a big scalp for Bridgwater Town, with Truro City plying their trade in the Premier Division of the Calor League.
It's Town's second shoot-out victory of the season, having defeated Chalfont St Peter earlier in the season.
Richard Fey's side fell behind three times during the 90 minutes, only to fight back with goals from Alex Faux and two from Robbins.
Robbins then missed his side's first penalty, but Wilson, Osman, Bushin, Loxton and Miller all scored to secure a place in the next round.

Bridgwater Town 3 Truro City 3 (Bridgwater won 6-5 on pens).
City’s hopes of knock out cup success this season were ended when they lost this first round Red Insure Cup tie at Fairfax Park on penalties, after three times taking the lead.
It was another disappointing night for Steve Massey’s men, after having lost to another Division One South & West side Tiverton Town in the FA Trophy last Saturday.
Liam Eddy got them off to a good start with a goal after 14 minutes, but Alex Faux levelled for the Somerset side on the hour mark, before a good finish from Olly Brokenshire (36) gave City a deserved 2-1 interval lead.
After the break, City maintained their 2-1 advantage until 16 minutes from time, when Robbins levelled the scores after some awful Truro defending, but Eddy’s second goal of the night , a fine volley 11 minutes from time, following a cross by debutant Steve Tully, looked to have won the tie.
However, with just a minute of normal time left, Robbins netted his second direct from a free-kick to take the match straight to penalties. where the home side came out on top 6-5 after missing their first kick.
Cody Cooke and substitute Neil Slateford had their spot kicks saved for City, while Shane White, Les Afful, Steve Tully, Olly Brokenshire and Jamie Lowry were all successful.

Martin Fey: "Truro game is 'another good test' (Bridgwater Mercury)
BRIDGWATER Town manager Richard Fey is expecting another tough game when his side take on Truro City in the Red Insure Cup tonight (October 22) at Fairfax Park.
Truro ply their trade in the Premier Division of the Calor League - the same division as Weymouth, who knocked the Robins out of the FA trophy last Saturday (October 19).
Fey believes tonight's fixture will be another good test for his players, who have faced higher opposition three times in the last month. He said:
"We're expecting a tough game tonight against higher opposition. Truro are a big club like Bath and Weymouth, but we're at full strength and playing at home.
"They have players with Football League experience, so it will be another good test for our lads."
Kick-off is at 7.45pm at Fairfax Park, with tickets priced at £8 for adults and £6 for seniors, while juniors go free.
Ricky Prosser is remembered
A former president of Truro City Football Club has died at 4am on Saturday 12th October after losing his fight with liver cancer.
Mr Ricky Prosser was president of Truro City football club in the late 1970's and held the position until the club went into administration last year.
Below are some kind words from David Rowarth, a Truro City fan and friend of Ricky's.
"Just a few words about a very special man. I got to know Ricky very well, mainly because we both shared the love of two special football teams: TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR and TRURO CITY.
I had the pleasure of enjoying Ricky's company on his home patch, at Tottenham and
spent many hour's socialising with him and his friends in pubs and clubs and of course at White Hart Lane. He would always get us tickets for Spurs games, none more so than the 1986-87 Semi-final at Villa Park against Watford.
Four of us spent days trying to acquire tickets for this game. Then a week before the game, we were drinking in the Truro City Clubhouse and the steward Peter Heayn, told us that he had been in touch with Ricky and he has got us four tickets for the Semi-final.
All we had to do was be at the main gates of Villa Park at 13:00 0n the day of the match.
Well we got there well ahead of schedule. Right on cue, at 13:00, we saw Ricky come out of the Main Stand doors of Villa Park and walk towards us. He asked the stewards at the main gate to let us through because we were with him. They reluctently agreed!
We gave him our money for the tickets and thanked him. He said it was not a problem and if we hung around, the Spurs team bus would be arriving soon. After five minutes, blue flashing lights and a police escort arrived with the Spurs Team Bus driving past us.
It stopped about 50 yards away. The doors opened and the players began to get off. Ricky shouted at Glenn Hoddle, Ray Clements, Ossie Ardilles, Paul Allen and Steve Hodge to come over and see his friends from Cornwall. We shook hands and chatted briefly with these superstars.
Still in shock we went to the game and saw The Spurs win 4-0.
A day that I have never forgotten and it was all down to Ricky Prosser.
I will never forget this special person and such kind generosity.
You will be sadly missed, my friend."
Dave Rowarth.
A one-minute silence will be held before the Cambridge game on Saturday 26th October in memory of Mr Prosser.

Trophy hopes ended by stoppage time goal, by Rhod Mitchell, West Briton
Tiverton Town 3 Truro City 2
CITY crashed out of the FA Trophy when they conceded a stoppage time goal at Ladysmead, after the tie looked to be heading for a Tuesday night replay.
Sloppy City defence in the the third minute of added time allowed Tiverton substitute Sam Malsom to slide home the winner, much to the delight of the home fans.
It was a heartbreaking end for City, who had come back from 1-0 down at half time to lead 2-1 with goals from Arran Pugh and Neil Slateford, before a Paul Kendall own goal against his former club, levelled the scores.
And City boss Steve Massey admitted the defeat was a "kick in the stomach" and a game his side should never have lost.
City were up against a Tiverton side with a healthy sprinkling of former players, including Marcus Martin who skippered the home team and gave a man of the match performance, including an obligatory booking.
It took the home side only six minutes to take the lead, with former City striker Matt Wright given far too much space to head home from close range a cross from the right by Josh Concanen.
And the sluggish visitors were lucky not to go further behind, with Wright heading over from a free kick and Max Kowal just unable to get a touch to a cross from the left.
City were second best for much of the half, with Ben Watson having a shot deflected over, the closest they came to a goal.
However, after the break City were much improved and quickly drew level when the unwell Pugh, headed home after an Olly Brokenshire corner was headed back to him.
And with ten minutes left City went ahead when a speculative cross from the right by Neil Slateford found the far corner of Jonathan Viscosi's net.
But this just seemed to spark the home side into life and within two minutes they were level, when Kendall could only divert a Kowal cross from the right into his own net.
In a frantic finish, Les Afful shot just wide, while at the other end substitute Lewis Morgan rattled the City bar.
However, it was Tivvy who had the last and decisive word against a City side who have yet to learn the knack of closing out games.
Massey confirmed after the game that City had signed former Exeter City defender Steve Tully and that he would make his debut at Bridgwater on Tuesday evening in the Red Insure Cup.

Fans and club united after forum success (by Lee Hall of the West Briton)
'WE'RE all in this together'.
That was the message from Truro City chairman Peter Masters when he met supporters at a fans' forum at Treyew Road on Tuesday night.
Masters chaired the open meeting, where he was joined by vice chairman Philip Perryman, manager Steve Massey, and coaches Glynn Hooper, Graeme Kirkup and Deba Sidhu.
On the whole, supporters were very happy with what they heard in an open a frank discussion, as a number of issues were raised during the course of the evening.
Masters began by telling fans that the move from Treyew Road was 'inevitable', but with discussions ongoing, there were no guarantees when that might be. He was vociferous, though, in stating the club would only leave 'if the deal was right' and again threw his support behind the 'Stadium for Cornwall' campaign.
Masters was equally passionate when it came to supporting his manager, who has been under pressure in recent weeks after a poor run of results.
But Masters, who was among the 60+ visiting fans who watched City end their five-match losing streak at Banbury on Saturday (match report page 116), has vowed to stick by the manager.
He said: "There has been pressure on Steve, but we are on a journey together and we will finish it."
Massey was also asked about the role of striker Liam Eddy, who came off the bench to score the winning goal on Saturday.
The City boss, who has used Eddy seven times from the bench this season, insists the player has a big future at the club.
He said: "Liam has come up from four steps below. That's like one of our players going up to play in League Two for Exeter or Plymouth.
"His goal on Saturday summed up the potential he has. He has pace, power and he can finish.
"It does take time, the pace of the game is quicker, but he is learning all the time.
"He has been much better coming off the bench as an impact player. I don't see him as that sort of player in the long term, but for now he's learning his trade.
"Ben Watson has been with us two or three games and Liam is already learning from him.
"He is going to be a great star for this football club."
Supporters were also keen to know more about the club's transfer policies, and as he was throughout the evening, Masters was frank and honest.
He said: "Steve has been very careful with who we have under contract, and he's not threw money at it.
"We have a good budget, but if Steve wants to make another signing we would have to move a player out."
Massey confirmed that former Exeter City full-back Steve Tully remains a target, but discussions are ongoing.
At the end of the meeting a minute's silence was observed in memory of the club's former president Ricky Prosser, who died at the weekend (full story on page 116).
Speaking to West Briton Sport after the forum, Massey felt the forum was a big success.
He said: "I thought it was a really positive evening. People who wanted to have a say had a say, which is what it's all about.
"It was nice to put our point of view across as well because some people might not have been aware of the full facts."
Massey turns his attention to the FA Trophy this weekend as City travel to Tiverton Town, who are managed by former Porthleven boss John Clarkson.
Banbury 1 Truro City 2 - Banbury Match Report by David Shadbolt
Summary: "United go in front just before the hour mark through a Kynan Isaac goal but two goals in the last quarter of an hour give the Cornish side all three points. "
United gave debuts to two players who signed for the club within the previous 24 hours. Playing in the centre of midfield was ex Tottenham Hotspur trainee Takura Mtandari whilst wide midfield was Nathan Mukuna who started his career at Southend United before playing for Interwood and Waltham Forest.
The first half was very much a “non-event”. It was an equal affair with both sides working hard and looking positive but both struggled to create decent chances, both goalkeepers having little to do except deal with routine crosses and pass backs, certainly neither had a to make any saves of note.
There was just the one notable opportunity for Banbury just before the interval when Adeyinka Talabi broke clear but his lob over Ollie Chenoweth went well wide of the far post.
The second half saw Truro start much the better of the two sides and they put Banbury under some pressure. Aaran Pugh headed a left wing cross from Jordan Copp over in the 49th minute when he should have done better. The Cornish side were looking the more likely to score and they created a couple opportunities to shoot from long range but at this point shooting boots appeared to have been left in Cornwall as they were well off target.
However, rather against the run of play, it would be Banbury who would go in front in the 57th minute when Kynan Isaac got onto the end of a long ball down the left hand side of the field from Banbury goalkeeper Leigh Bedwell and through on goal he struck the ball with some aplomb into far the corner of the net past a helpless Ollie Chenoweth.
Truro fought back well though and always looked dangerous, equalising on 78 minutes when Neil Slateford got on to the end of a Ben Watson pass, took control of the ball and then fired it home from twelve yards.
Having equalised, Truro would dominate the remainder of the game and it was no surprise when the winner came three minutes from time when Liam Eddy took the ball into the penalty area on the right before unleashing a shot from a narrow angle into the far corner of the net.
Two minutes later, Banbury could have equalised when they were awarded a free kick on the left. The ball was pumped to the far post where Tanasheh Abrahams got his head to it but it went just over the bar.
Over the 90 minutes Banbury cannot complain about the outcome. The first half was even but Truro looked the better side in the second period and to their credit, being on such a bad run of results and conceding first to Banbury one might have expected some heads to drop but that was far from the case and overall it was a deserved win for the Cornish side.
Banbury United: Leigh Bedwell, Luke Cray, Marvin Martin, Aaron Morgan, John Mbamarah, Tom Ryan, Dom Lawless, Takura Mtandari, Leon Simpson (Adeyinka Talabi 14), Kynan Isaac, Nathan Mukuna (Tanasheh Abrahams 60). Subs (not used): Ashley Dumbleton, Kyal McNulty, Kyle Fraser-Allen.
Truro City: Ollie Chenoweth, Cody Cooke, Shane White, Paul Kendall, Aaran Pugh, Joe Broad (Olly Brokenshire 74), Les Afful, Jamie Lowry, Ben Watson, Matt Andrew (Neil Slateford 42), Jordan Copp (Liam Eddy 60). Subs (not used): Dan Evans, Jared Sims.
Super subs help Truro to much-needed victory by Lee Hall, West Briton
Banbury United 1, Truro City 2
Goals from substitutes Neil Slateford and Liam Eddy eased the pressure on manager Steve Massey as Truro City fought from behind to claim a much-needed Southern League victory at the Spencer Stadium on Saturday.
After five straight defeats in all competitions, City looked to be heading for number six, until the introduction of Slateford and Eddy.
Kynan Isaac had given Banbury a 57th minute lead when he latched on to a long ball forward before unleashing a volley past City goalkeeper Ollie Chenoweth.
But after a good spell of pressure from the visitors, City deservedly drew level through substitute Slateford in the 78th minute.
And it got even better for Truro when, with the game in injury time, Eddy produced a brilliant solo effort to snatch the points for Massey’s men.
Att: 350.

Truro move for former Exeter defender Steve Tully
Truro City manager Steve Massey has confirmed he is close to making further additions to his squad as he bids to halt the club's slide down the Southern League table.
City's losing streak in all competitions was extended to five games after Tuesday night's 2-0 defeat to Poole Town.
But despite being encouraged by the response of his players, who produced a much improved display after Saturday's 7-3 defeat at home to St Albans City, Massey is keen to add more experience to his squad.
He revealed after Tuesday's game that a full-back is his priority and West Briton Sport understands City are interested in bringing 33-year-old former Exeter City defender Steve Tully to Treyew Road.
After being released by the Grecians during the summer, Paignton-born Tully signed for John Clarkson's Tiverton.
The ex Torquay defender, who has made more than 300 Football League appearances, has more recently been playing for Galmpton United in division one east of the South West Peninsula League.
Massey said: "I'm hoping to bring a new player in for Saturday. We've been playing with square pegs in round holes in a couple of areas.
"We've been asking boys to do a job that's not their position. I'm talking about full-backs.
"There will hopefully be at least one in and maybe another one in next week."
Despite Truro's dreadful run of recent form, Massey insists the club is making progress and he is confident their fortunes will soon improve.
He said: "If people out there think it's hard, it's not. I am very motivated and with the team developing I'm actually quite excited about what is going to be happening in the future."
Massey has also confirmed the door remains open for striker Mark Goldsworthy to prove himself at the club.
Goldsworthy was at Treyew Road on Saturday, before leaving the ground shortly before kick-off after learning he wasn't included in the squad.
Goldsworthy then travelled to St Dennis and came on as a substitute for Helston in the second half, scoring in the Blues' 6-1 win.

Stephen Richard Tully (born 10 February 1980) is an English footballer, who currently plays for Tiverton Town. He was born in Paignton, Devon.
He began his career as a fullback with his local side Torquay United, turning professional in August 1997 and making his league debut in a 0-0 draw away to Barnet on 18 November that year. He went on to make over 160 appearances for the Gulls before being released at the end of the 2001–02 season.
He joined non-league side Weymouth in August 2002, quickly establishing himself in the side and winning the awards for Player of the Year and Away Player of the Season in 2003–2004. He lost his place in the side after the appointment of Steve Johnson as manager and asked for a transfer in January 2005.
Although he later withdrew this request, he was allowed to join Exeter City in February 2005.
However, he returned to Weymouth in May that year as new manager Garry Hill's first summer signing on a two-year deal. He returned to Exeter in January 2007 and was a regular in the side that made the play-off final at the end of that season, scoring the winning penalty in the semi-final against Oxford United. On the 2nd of July 2013 Tully was released by Exeter City. Tully is also manager of the Exeter City FC Ladies team having great success.

Some improvement but another home loss
Truro City lost two nil last night to a strong Poole side. We played well in the first half and apart from gifting them a goal, could easily have edged it. In contrast, the second half was poor, heads went down, Poole shifted up to third gear and yet again we handed them a goal on a plate. Our formation was predominantly 4-5-1 leaving the sprightly Ben Watson doing all the work up front. Against four strong defenders, the tactic was clearly not working and we ended the night with another loss and still no home win of the season. With the sad news of Hinckley's demise, give or take a one goal difference, we are now in the relegation battle.
Below are some of the wiser comments from the Tigertalk forum last night:
BIG ROD said:
Just back home from the match. This is how I saw it. Poole are a very fit team, ran at everything gave 100%. Truro played very well in the first half. Jamie Lowry was a very steady influence. He did have a couple of misplaced passes but he may be a bit rusty. He also had a couple of good low shots on goal. In the first half there were a lot of balls coming in from the right wing, but with a lone striker, nobody to get on the end of them. The goal in the first half was a scrambled affair from a corner. I got the impression that the Ollie was reluctant to come and claim it, but it was really a goal given away.
In the second half Poole either changed their tactics or else they went up a gear and we dropped off the pace. They had much more of the ball in the second half. Their second goal was very strange. It came in from a corner bounced back and everybody just stood rooted to the spot for what seemed like ten seconds and the guy planted it in the net.
I think if City had have played against most sides the way they did in the first half they would have been 3-0 up. By the way, apart from looking like a Cormac worker (all in orange), their Goalie was good. For a change the ref. was pretty good too. Apart from the score line, quite an entertaining game.
DUTY281 said:
First half decent, second half inept. Couldn't find a final ball in either half, and so couldn't break down a very organised Poole defence. Poole were decent, but nothing special. Both goals could and should of been averted, both from set-pieces which we couldn't defend against (again). Heads dropped after the first goal, and we never recovered. I can only recall their keeper having to make one save, and that was from a set-piece.
Questions must be asked again:
Evans started instead of captain Kendall, why? (Car problems delayed their arrival eds.)
Les didn't start, despite being one of our best players on Saturday, why? (Ditto above eds.)
One up front at home again, why? Watson is great at holding the ball up but it's no good when you're isolated.
I think we've lost 5 league games in a row now.
Something. Must. Be. Done.
Otherwise we'll be in a relegation battle. Scratch that, we ARE in a relegation battle.
GORRANBLADE said:
The word "ORGANISE" springs to mind. For their first goal I particularly watched how our defence organised itself for the corner. Frankly they did not organise very well. We had already seen their tactics, bunching at the far post and attacking the ball as it came across. So what did Aaron Pugh do? He stood rooted in the 6 yard box along with 3 other Truro players. Nobody coming in with their runners to attack the ball.
The second goal was a bit of a magic backheal to find the scorer in space to bang it home. Personally I'm not too critical of this goal although he did have to much space while we ball watched.
On a positive note, we played at 100mph in the first half but were let down by the final ball. Several good efforts which will probably show up in the stats.
Ollie Chenoweth had a good game and backed up my view that he is an excellent shot-stopper; he just needs to keep his concentration levels at a high level.
Jordan Copp really wanted to play in the first half but lost his way later on.
Overall a much improved performance but the "mighty midgets" need a big leader of the line; we are not skillful enough to keep the ball on the ground and beat most of the defences in this league.
Joe Broad went off with what looked like a hamstring injury. So come on Ollie Brokenshire step up to the plate and show you can make the grade.
Finally I hear that there is some discontent amongst some of the players with the coach. Certainly with the lack of organisation shown in the last two games, that would not surprise me.
Cue the incoming mortars.
City Alerts - Poole pre match comment
Poole Town arrive at Treyew Road this evening (7-45 pm KO) on the back of their first defeat of the season (5-2 ) at Stourbridge last Saturday.
City manager Steve Massey selects from the same squad that lost at home to St Albans, but welcomes back the experienced Jamie Lowry after his three match ban.
Massey can't wait for the game tonight and knows the players want to banish Saturdays result out of their system and give the fans a memorable evening and performance against one of the top sides in the league: "The team and squad is developing all the time and as crazy as it might sound, there were lots of positives to take from Saturdays bizarre game into tonight's".
The debut of Ben Watson of course being one. He again leads the team from the front tonight hoping to add to his two goals on his first appearance in a Truro shirt.
Hinckley United FC demise
The Southern League is naturally extremely saddened about the demise of Hinckley United Football Club. The likely aftermath of the club’s inability to complete its fixtures will be for their playing record to be expunged and, subject to the Board ratifying this action, the Premier Division table will be revised accordingly.
League Chairman, Ken Turner, said “It is accepted that these are extremely difficult times for all football clubs and it is important that the obvious warnings are heeded and that Clubs ensure that they operate within their means. Otherwise, there are likely to be more and more finding themselves with similar problems to those that have brought an end to the existence of Hinckley United.”
In effect, what this means for Truro City is that we lose our three points and as of today, drop to third from bottom. Four teams facing potential relegation now reads three as Hinckley are now expunged. Third from bottom however, should focus attention on our own dire situation on the playing field.
Goal Fest in Southern Premier (as per Pitchero Non League news)
There was something of a goal fest in the Calor League Southern Premier Division on Saturday.
Top of the scorers were St Albans City, who made the long trek down to Cornwall to take on Truro City and returned home with an amazing 7-3 win!
Truro manager Steve Massey had been busy during the week bringing in two new signings, but by the first quarter of the match City were trailing 3-0!
Indecisiveness allowed Chris Watters the opportunity to place home the first, while central defender James Kaloczi headed home the second.
Darren Locke was allowed a free run in at goal to get on the end of a Watters left wing cross. 22 minutes on the clock, and the White Tigers were 3-0 down.
New signing Ben Watson threatened a comeback when he reduced the deficit to just one with a brace in the 48th and 68th minutes.
The optimism unfortunately lasted all of 4 minutes as out of absolutely nowhere Lee Chappell hit a long range shot that went in off the underside of the cross-bar.
The result was well and truly settled in the 77th minute when substitute Elliott Bailey slotted the ball home from the edge of the penalty area, although Cody Cooke did manage a third for the beleaguered hosts in the 80th minute.
But St Albans finished the day off in style with two more goals in stoppage time from Chris Henry and John Frendo to make it 7-3.
Truro City v St Albans - (St Albans Press Report)
History making Saints maul the White Tigers
1:01am Sunday 6th October 2013 in Local Sport By David Tavener
St Albans City marked their longest journey to a match in Britain by having a club record seven different players get on the score sheet as Truro City were ravaged 7-3 in a remarkable Southern League match at Treyew Road on Saturday.
In fact the 90 minutes almost bordered on the bizarre as joint-Saints manager James Gray admitted that his side did not even play well, which was probably just as well for Steve Massey and his shell-shocked White Tigers.
City headed for their first match in Cornwall on the back of two consecutive Premier Division defeats and also without their recognised central defensive pairing of skipper Ben Martin (at a family wedding) and Ryan Wharton (suspended).
Their absence allowed James Kaloczi to return to the starting line up for the first time in seven weeks while Darren Locke was recalled after five weeks out of the side.
City made one other change to the side that defeated Billericay Town in the FA Cup with winger Victor Osobu making way for Leyton Orient teenager Harrison Georgiou.
Truro, still searching for their first home league win of the season, included new additions Aaron Pugh and Ben Watson.
Central defender Pugh re-joined Truro after a year with Dorchester Town. Watson was also with Dorchester and marked his debut with a brace to stand alongside the duo he scored for Bognor Regis against the Saints in 2006.
City’s seven goals suggest that they laid siege to the home goal but it was more a case of outstanding finishing that secured the Saints highest tally in an away league match for 27 years.
Truro had at least an equal share of the play but were ruthlessly penalised for an opening 30 minutes during which they were quite abysmal.
During that opening third of the game the Cornish side - at their fine home - repeatedly conceded possession cheaply, made far too many wayward passes and left vast gaps in their own penalty area. Defeat was unavoidable.
St Albans needed just nine minutes to punish the first error with John Frendo winning the ball off Les Afful on the edge of the penalty area.
City’s leading goal scorer slid the ball into the path of Chris Watters whose low shot went through the legs of keeper Ollie Chenoweth for the opening goal.
Two minutes later and Watters’ first goal of the season was followed by Kaloczi’s first for the club.
A poor clearance by Dan Evans was seized upon by Lee Chappell and from his deep cross from the City left flank Kaloczi pounced at the back post to score with an excellent downward header.
Truro lost a chance to get back into the game when Paul Kendall failed to make a firm enough contact with a header to Afful’s corner.
On 22 minutes Truro’s problems increased when a City corner was only partially cleared to James Comley with the City captain clipping the ball wide to Watters.
From Watters’ perfect cross Locke moved forward to head home unchallenged and then mark his first goal for the club with the most elaborate celebration of the afternoon.
With a quarter of the game gone the result appeared to be cut and dried although a firm drive by Neil Slateford suggested the home side could still make an impact on the day.
Eight minutes from the interval City withdrew striker Mark Nwokeji, mostly as a precaution, to be replaced by Elliot Bailey.
And shortly before the break Truro replaced full back Evans with striker Liam Eddy and went for three at the back in the hope of staging a comeback.
And just three minutes after the interval that fightback got into gear albeit through controversial circumstances.
Referee Steve Annis appeared to blow his whistle for a foul on Howard Hall then left City high and dry by allowing play to go on. Afful took advantage to cross for Watson to reduce the deficit.
Truro now looked a different and more positive proposition, and just a minute after the goal Eddy flashed a shot over the Saints goal.
City enjoyed a moment’s good fortune when, following a corner, an audacious overhead kick by Pugh struck Paul Bastock’s left hand post and moments later the Saints keeper had to be alert to smother a shot by Afful.
Georgiou’s first starting appearance ended on 57 minutes as City’s super-sub Chris Henry entered the fray.
It is a moniker that the winger will be keen to shake off but within a minute of coming on he was flying down the left flank and causing problems for the White Tigers.
On the hour Kaloczi suffered a cut head, following a completely accidental clash of heads with Pugh, but was able to continue after treatment.
Truro had optimistic shouts for a penalty rejected after the ball bounced up and struck Chappell’s arm but on 68 minutes the home side did have cause for celebration.
A Joe Broad cross was struck back into the goalmouth on the half-volley by Afful for Watson to plunder his second goal from point-blank range.
A minute later and Bastock saved well from Matt Andrew but St Albans regained the upper hand with a stunning goal on 72 minutes.
A patient build up ended with Hall and Watters working the ball inside to Comley and from his long pass out to the left Chappell, ten yards inside the Truro half, saw acres of empty space in front of him.
As Truro stood off Chappell moved forward and hammered a blistering drive from around 28 yards that veered in several directions before sailing past the static Chenoweth and entering the goal via the underside of the crossbar.
There could hardly have been a more spectacular way in which the left-back could open his account for the Saints.
Four minutes later Bailey dispossessed the dithering Pugh on the edge of the penalty area before beating Chenoweth with splendidly placed low left-footed effort to the right of the diving keeper as City moved into a 5-2 lead.
On 81 minutes Truro again cast doubt on the outcome with an excellent goal as Cody Cooke notched his first league goal of the campaign.
Shane White played the ball in from the left to Watson and from his square pass Cooke fired past a surprised Bastock with a beautifully placed effort from 17 yards.
Eddy really ought to have set up a fascinating finale when clear but wanted too long on the ball and was tackled by Hall with Kaloczi completing the clearance.
Massey made an intriguing double substitution two minutes into added time but the move backfired as St Albans struck twice more in the little time remaining.
Henry was sent through three minutes into added time and superbly side-stepped the advancing Chenoweth before calmly switching the ball onto his right foot and from a tight angle slid the ball through the legs of the diving Kendall for his fifth goal of the season.
Even with that goal Henry was far from finished and two minutes later cut the ball back to Frendo who held off White before claiming the tenth and final goal of the day with an angled left-footed shot across the despairing Chenoweth.
City’s win lifts them up to eighth in the Southern League and this coming Tuesday, 8th October, they will look to make further progress when tackling struggling Bedford Town.
The short trip to the New Eyrie will be a welcome relief to the Saints following their six-hour trip to the south west on Friday and return journey on Saturday night.
Kick off at Bedford is at 7.45pm.

Statement from Steve Massey - Friday 4th October
Statement from Steve Massey
After a whirlwind 72 hours or so, I am delighted - absolutely thrilled - to confirm the signings of two very experienced and talented players, both of whom will be available for tomorrow's match at home to St Albans City. Aaron Pugh and Ben Watson have both joined us from Dorchester Town.
Defender Aaron needs no introduction, having played for us previously and proving himself a big favourite. Striker Ben, I am certain, will be a terrific asset, having been a prolific goal scorer wherever he has played. If you look at his profile on the Dorchester Town website, you will be left in no doubt about his pedigree.
I have been a great admirer of both players for a long time and when Peter (Masters) and I learned that both were among the eight being put up for sale by Dorchester, following that club's grave financial problems, we moved fast to secure their signatures. A special word of thanks must go to the Dorchester club for their co-operation in ensuring that both were signed and registered in time for tomorrow's match, and to our very own admin team led by Tracey Finemore.
If anyone still doubts our commitment, ambition and sheer determination to achieve success for Truro City - Peter and myself in particular, which have understandably come in for some stick in recent weeks - then I hope this news can be seen as the statement of intent that it clearly is.
Believe me, we really do mean business, but I also don't want anyone to think this is a knee-jerk reaction to the recent bad results, or that it knocks off track our underlying policy of giving a chance to the best of young Cornish talent.
As I say, we have had players of the quality and calibre like Aaron and Ben on our radar for some time, and their ability and experience will greatly assist in bringing along the youngsters in our squad - and be a big boost to overall confidence and morale in the process. We always knew that an injection of additional experience would be both desirable and in fact necessary somewhere along the line. Now we have had the opportunity that was simply too good to miss.
I look forward to seeing has many of you there for the game on Saturday against St Albans and of course Tuesday evening (8th) against Poole Town, when another of our recent experienced signings Jamie Lowry makes his welcome return from a three match ban.
The Tigers have been a little sleepy recently, however tomorrow they are ready to roar once more!

4 months ago Adiantku
ENSENADA, Mexico – Rob MacCachren and Cameron Steele, a pair of legendary Hall of Fame...
ENSENADA, Mexico – Rob MacCachren and Cameron Steele, a pair of legendary Hall of Fame desert racers, lead the most-recent group of new entries for the BFGoodrich Tires 52nd Annual SCORE Baja 500 presented by 4 Wheel Parts.
To date, 73 official entries have come from 16 states, along with host country Mexico and Denmark. The first of two races on the pandemic-abbreviated 2020 SCORE World Desert Championship schedule will be held Sept. 22-27 in San Felipe, Baja California, Mexico.
Competition will include classes for cars, trucks UTVs, motorcycles and quads.
Alongside MacCachren and Steele, Justin Lofton, the talented team of Bobby Patton and Robbie Pierce, as well as Gerardo Novelo and Martin Christensen have also filed entries.
MacCachren, 55, is the winningest all-time off-road racer, with more than 300 career open desert and short-course victories. He has seven career class wins in the SCORE Baja 500, including two overall crowns.
MacCachren also has nine career season SCORE class championships.

MacCachren drives the No. 11 Geiser Bros-built MacCachren Motorsports Ford F-150 in the featured SCORE Trophy Truck division. He is the all-time leader in SCORE Trophy Truck career race wins, with 17 total.
One of MacCachren’s magical moments in his storied career was winning the overall and SCORE Trophy Truck titles in 2018 in the 50th anniversary of the SCORE Baja 500.
Steele, 52, returns to the Baja desert in his Geiser Bros-built No. 16 Monster Energy Desert Assassins Ford Raptor in the SCORE Trophy Truck class.
A second-generation desert racer and popular Baja tour guide who also owns the BajaHQ aftermarket company in San Juan Capistrano, Calif., Steele has been SCORE racing for more than 30 years with class wins in several classes.
He ended the 2018 SCORE World Desert Championship by winning two consecutive races, including the iconic season-ending SCORE Baja 1000.
Another benchmark finish for the popular Steele was a second-place finish in the memorable 50th anniversary of the SCORE Baja 1000 in 2017.
One of SCORE’s many second-generation desert racers, Lofton started in SCORE Baja racing with his father Bob and then moved to NASCAR series for several years before returning to the desert a couple of years ago.
Lofton is one of the most gifted drivers on any surface and is always among the favorites in the top-tier SCORE Trophy Truck division in his No. 41 Ford Raptor built by Jimco Racing.
Prominent Texas energy and real estate investor and co-owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers, Patton and Off-Road Motorsports Hall of Fame inductee and owner of Jimco Racing Products Robbie Pierce have moved up as a team to race this year in the SCORE TT Legend class.
For this year’s SCORE Baja 500, the dynamic duo will split the driving in the Jimco-Built No. 20L Chevy Silverado.
Prominent Ensenada entrepreneur Novelo, 55, will be racing once again in Class 7SX in his No. 741 Nissan Frontier King Cab.
Novelo, who has been a long-time supporter of SCORE in dealing with Mexican authorities locally, statewide and nationally, won the SCORE Class 7SX season championship in both 2017 and 2018.
Returning to SCORE Baja racing again after a sabbatical of few years, SCORE veteran Christensen has entered in the No. 2914 Can-Am X3 in the Pro UTV Forced Induction class.
Christensen, 52, is from Denmark and has both raced and won in several classes in his SCORE career, earning three championships – 1998 in Class 9 and 2002 and 2003 in Class 10.

Kermanshah Workshop Structure
Restoring a rural community to health through participation in building a House for a Teacher in Kermanshah is what PleaseCopy Architecture Workshop is about.
Author: Sahar Keshmiri
Resulting in 630 casualties, more than 8000 injured and around 7000 displaced, Kermanshah Disaster affected the residents of the area on both physical and psychological level. Depriving people of their lives, livelihood, shelter and health, the earthquake cast its shadow on a human being’s most primary rights. In the meanwhile, on a psychological level, adding to the burden of lifelong losses of their beloveds, it has simply taken away a human’s control over his or her own situation, leaving them passively exposed to life’s adversities.
on a daily basis, each and every victim is confronted with political, social and individual injustice by not receiving the expected financial and executive support from the government while losing its traditional social tools to resolve current issues. They suffer the loss of these tools as beneficences provided naturally by the community which is originated from the adjacency of each individual’s habitats. In other words, by destroying shelters, the disaster has drastically changed a social structure by which the group of people belonging to a specific place had supported one another and unraveled their mutual problems as a part of a long-established custom of being linked through connections related to one’s neighborhood.
Playing a key role in the equation, built space whose loss is the valid concern of the earthquake’s victims, holds both potential and opportunity required to restoration. However, this only occurs when the process of rebuilding involves people and synchronizes its pace to their speed. It is not by the ready-made prefabricated concrete giants that new societies are born but by trusting the consciousness of vernacular material and deployment of traditional techniques and approaches to building that a neighborhood can heal itself through the process of building. Restoring a rural community to health through participation in building a modular, optimum, vernacular and reproducible House for a Teacher in Kermanshah is what this workshop is about.
Aim of Workshop
The Purpose of this workshop is to design a House for a Teacher in Kermanshah which is Optimum, Modular, vernacular, economic, reproducible and can be built using traditional techniques and materials.
Submissions should consider the following factors;
Climate condition
Person Centerd
Affordability and usability (examples are multi-use of building spaces i.e. Kitchen, hall, bedrooms, patios, terraces, etc.
Local environment and culture
Adaptability and integration with the local community
Security and safety of occupants
Sustainable design strategies (e.g. natural ventilation, natural lighting, etc)
Health (physical and psychological wellbeing)
All proposals will be published in printed version of Villa Magazine and social media press. All participants will receive a certification signed by the architect, advisor and critics.
The final registration is very limited.
The participants will be selected among the received emails applicants as per schedule. Participants will be selected based on their design capability, motivation, team work and coordination with executive team of the workshop.
Registration and Participation in Workshop is free for selected portfolios. 18.000.000 Rls for other participants.

A Lawyer’s Legend : E. Krishna Iyer
By Naatyaachaarya. V.P.Dhananjayan
In the fifties and sixties the name of E.Krishna Iyer was a household name in erstwhile Madras, now called Chennai. He was seen in every Bharatanatyam and Sangeeta Kutcheries(concerts) by known and well known performers of those days. Not very many happening like these days, Arangetrams (debut) were very rare occurrences but E.Krishna Iyer with his hearing aid sitting in the front row and commenting in a loud voice was a common sight. His reviews in the Hindu front page was a great moment for all artists to cherish. He did not spare his pen to make bold criticism of young and old performers.
Everyone knew who he was and what his contributions were to the upliftment of fallen art forms and a steadfast Congressman taking part in freedom fight meetings and processions in his immaculate white khadar veshti & jubba. A strong pillar of the Madras Music academy drew instant respect from all quarters of that generation. He moved the resolution in the Academy to rechristaine ‘sadirattam’ to Bharatanatyam.
My memories of him as an adolescent boy is very vivid and many a times listened to his sermons and reprimands. He used to visit Kalakshetra very often and interact with Smt. Rukminidevi who were great friends of course. Both of them are responsible for the resurrection of a fallen profession back to the divinity and dignity of Bharatanatyam .
He never missed any of Kalakshetra productions and write about them in the Hindu news paper (those days The Hindu carried reviews on the front page and so much of importance was given for all art, artistes and art activities)
I don’t know whether he had a soft corner for me as an upcoming young Nartaka (male Bharatanaatyam dancer) and delivered encomiums of my performance as Sriraama in the Ramayana series of Kalakshetra. But what I cherish more, are two very great reviews of him on my performing as a ‘Poojaari(priest) Kannappar kuravanchi (a very insignificant role eulogised ) and the Brahmin who brings a love letter from Srikrishna to Rukmini (also an insignificant role) in the Bhagavatha mela “Rukmini swayamvaram” - he devoted one para of comments on these, not so important characters, living aside the main characters.
Once he called me to his office in Tamizhnaadu Eyal Isai Nataka Mandram (The State Academy) and talked generously about how difficult it would be for a man to make a career as Nartaka. Quoted the example of Ramgopal, Nalanajan and the like who had to leave the land for a greener pasture. He vehemently advised me to create a Bharatanaatyam repertoire that will project the manly emotions instead of handling feminine natured repertoire akin to women’s nature, that may look effeminate in a male body. Following his sincere advice, when I started performing Bharatanaatyam solos and duos with Shanta I restricted myself to male oriented songs of Bhakti, Veera and Sringaara.
E.Krishna Iyer’s name should be etched in gold letters in the history pages of Bharatanaatyam like Smt. Rukmini Devi
to keep up to date with all our shows, performance tours, workshops & opportunities.

CO-CHAIR HARRIET DRUMMOND called the House Education Standing
Committee meeting to order at 8:07 a.m. Representatives Story,
Hopkins, Zulkosky (via teleconference), Tuck, Prax, and Drummond
were present at the call to order.
HB 153-PRE-ELEMENTARY PROGRAMS/FUNDING
CO-CHAIR DRUMMOND announced that the only order of business
would be HOUSE BILL NO. 153, "An Act relating to early education
programs provided by school districts; relating to funding for
early education programs; and relating to the duties of the
state Board of Education and Early Development." [Before the
committee was the proposed committee substitute (CS) for HB 153,
Version 31-LS0928\U, Caouette, 3/4/20, adopted as a working
document during the House Education Standing Committee meeting
on 3/9/20.]
CO-CHAIR DRUMMOND noted that at its last meeting, the committee
had left off part way through a sectional analysis of Version U.
She told the committee that Legislative Legal Services was
unable to take on amendments for anything other than "end of
session bills," so she said she would like to discuss potential
amendments that might go into a committee substitute when the
committee moves forward with HB 153.
LOKI TOBIN, Staff, Senator Tom Begich, Alaska State Legislature,
recollected that committee members had indicated they had
questions regarding Section 12 in the sectional analysis, which
read as follows [original punctuation provided]:
Section 12. Amends AS 14.07.165(a), relating to the
duties of the state Board of Education and Early
Development (board) and directs the board to adopt
regulations establishing standards for an early
education program that is (1) half-day, (2) full-day,
and (3) less than half day and is locally designed and
evidence-based. The lead teacher of a program must
hold a valid teacher CS HB 153 v. U | 3.4.2020 | 3
certificate and have satisfactorily completed a
minimum of six credit hours in early childhood
education or completed the six credits within one year
of the teacher's employment or have two or more years
of experience teaching kindergarten or other early
education programs. Regulations must also establish
the development of appropriate objectives and
accommodations for all children, which allow districts
to adapt content to be culturally appropriate to local
The committee took an at-ease from 8:10 a.m. to 8:11 a.m.
CO-CHAIR DRUMMOND noted that Section 12 was on pages 10-11 of
Version U.
CO-CHAIR STORY directed attention to language in paragraph (5),
on page 11 of Version U, beginning on line 5, which read:
(5) regulations establishing standards for an
early education program provided by a school district
for children who are four and five years of age
CO-CHAIR STORY posited that the language would be strengthened
by adding "locally designed, evidence-based" before "early
education program". She said as the analysis continued, she
would be pointing out areas where the policy being put forth was
perhaps too specific, when policy is usually broader than
regulation. She then brought attention to page 11, line 11,
which specified a full-day program as consisting of six hours,
and she offered her understanding that a lot of the programs
were four hours.
MS. TOBIN recommended inserting the Alaska statute that defines
school hour days instead of delineating standards for a half-day
program, and full-day program, and a locally designed program.
CO-CHAIR STORY directed attention to language on page 11,
beginning on line 14, which read as follows:
(B) a requirement that a teacher in
charge of a program hold a valid teacher certificate
issued under AS 14.20
CO-CHAIR STORY said she would like clarification as to whether
that refers to a school-level or school district-level program.
She said there are instances where certified teachers would
oversee many schools; there would be different levels of
teachers working there, and there may be paraprofessionals.
MS. TOBIN indicated that Anji Gallanos and the National
Institute for Early Education Research (NIEER) worked together
to draft the standards, which delineate the qualifications for a
pre-K program. One of those qualifications is having a
certified teacher in charge of the classroom. She offered her
understanding that the language of sub-paragraph (B) refers to
the lead teacher in a classroom, who would be assisted by
paraprofessionals or educational aides.
CO-CHAIR STORY expressed her interest in hearing more on the
topic from [feet]-on-the-ground leaders.
CO-CHAIR DRUMMOND noted that Anji Gallanos was the early
learning director for the Department of Education and Early
Development (DEED) before moving to Colorado to run its early
learning program. She said these standards were written by Ms.
Gallanos before she left Alaska.
MS. TOBIN confirmed that Ms. Gallanos wrote the standards in
collaboration with NIEER. Further, she noted the standards were
drafted in consultation with "the Oklahoma model," which she
said is one of the longest-running early education pre-K
programs in the nation. She indicated that the standards were
from SB 6, which was introduced at the beginning of the current
legislative session. She said the precursor to that was Senate
Bill 99. In response to Co-Chair Drummond, she confirmed that
SB 6 addressed preschool.
REPRESENTATIVE PRAX commented that in the industrial world,
standards take away local decision making. He asked for more
information regarding the following terms, in relation to the
field of education: national standards, teacher certification,
and local control.
REPRESENTATIVE TUCK noted that the section being discussed
addresses that which is the responsibility of the board, and the
board has regulatory authority. Under Version U, the new
language in paragraph (5) would be adopted [language previously
provided], and he said he thinks that would leave local control.
He expressed concern that getting too prescriptive in this
section would result in micromanaging local districts. He said,
"If people have a problem with half-day, full-day, then we just
go right back to the statutes if that makes things simpler."
[Regarding the suggested language from Co-Chair Story], he said
he thinks "this whole thing" is about evidence-based programs.
He added, "If we need to put it in other statutes and other
areas of the bill, I guess I'm okay with that, but I think this
whole thing is designed around evidence-based programs."
CO-CHAIR DRUMMOND pointed out that "locally designed, evidence-
based" is already on page 11, line 12; therefore, she questioned
whether it needs to be repeated. Regarding what the regulations
must include [under Version U], she then paraphrased
[subparagraph (A)], which read as follows:
(A) standards for a
(i) half-day program consisting of
not less than two and one-half hours;
(ii) full-day program consisting
of six hours; and
(iii) locally designed, evidence-
based program that is less than half a day that meets
early education program standards;
CO-CHAIR DRUMMOND observed that it looks like "locally designed,
evidence-based" applies just to and half-day program.
MS. TOBIN echoed Co-Chair Story's recommendation by suggesting
that "locally designed, evidence-based" could be added on page
11, line 5. She then suggested that "(A) standards for a" [on
line 8] be deleted and replaced with language referring to the
statute pertaining to the definition of a school day. She said
[sub-subparagraphs] (i) and (ii) could be removed. She deferred
to Commissioner Johnson for more input.
MICHAEL JOHNSON, Ph.D., Commissioner, Department of Education
and Early Development, related that there are no mandated
national standards in education. He explained that national
groups come together to create standards from which states can
draw to create their own unique standards. Further, he stated
that Alaska has state-adopted standards, but they are not
mandated. He listed two of the five questions pertaining to
students. The first is: What do we want them to know and do?
That is answered with effective standards. The second question
is: How will we teach them those standards? The answer is
effective curriculum and instruction. In response to Co-Chair
Drummond, he named the remaining five essential questions to be
answered daily on behalf of every student. Question three is:
How will we know if they've learned it? That question is
answered through effective assessments. Question four is: What
will we do if they don't learn it? The answer is through
effective intervention. Question five is: What will we do if
they already know it? The answer to that is through effective
enrichment. He said answering those questions for every
student, every day, will lead to an excellent education.
CO-CHAIR DRUMMOND recapped that the committee would make sure
that the term "locally designed, evidence-based" would be
applied to all [paragraph (5)] on page 11.
REPRESENTATIVE HOPKINS recollected that Commissioner Johnson had
mentioned at a previous meeting "having a lot of these
regulations in front of the state school board" by March or
April. He asked whether that timeline was still in effect.
COMMISSIONER JOHNSON said he does not have a timeline; he has
had to readjust the schedule. He said the department would like
the regulation writing process to be an inclusive one. He
expressed excitement over passage of HB 153 and bringing
stakeholders together and gathering input from parents and
others around the state to put together regulations to implement
the bill as effectively as possible.
REPRESENTATIVE HOPKINS expressed his hope that the committee
would find ways to add language to include educators' voices
from all levels of the field.
CO-CHAIR DRUMMOND expressed confidence that HB 153 would be
passed by the legislature.
CO-CHAIR STORY asked how Head Start fits into the picture. She
returned to her previous question about programs and whether
that applies to Head Start and other partners with which [DEED]
works closely.
MS. TOBIN responded that HB 153 does address regulation, reform,
or change that would apply to Head Start and change the way DEED
interacts with Head Start. She deferred to Commissioner Johnson
for further comment.
COMMISSIONER JOHNSON proffered that HB 153 would provide the
opportunity to grow the early childhood community. He said the
Alaska Early Childhood Coordinating Council (AECCC) is a group
that advocates for early childhood, and passage of HB 153 would
add another element in that group's conversation about
supporting Head Start and other early childhood programs and
ensuring work is done with the shared vision of getting students
reading by the end of third grade. In response to Co-Chair
Drummond's question of who comprised the AECCC, when the group
met, and how they were supported, he replied the AECCC was
comprised of over 20 experienced representatives from various
early childhood advocacy and support programs in Alaska, met
quarterly, and was co-chaired by the commissioner of the
Department of Education and the commissioner of the Department
of Health and Social Services. The AECCC was begun under
Governor Sean Parnell, he imparted.
CO-CHAIR STORY returned to the language [in subparagraph (B)],
on page 11, lines 14-15, [text previously provided]. She asked
Commissioner Johnson her question about whether the program was
at the school district level or school level.
COMMISSIONER JOHNSON responded that program participation varies
by school; therefore, he suggested that "program" could refer to
the school level. He deferred to Ms. Tobin for further
MS. TOBIN said the standards were drafted based on NIEER, which
states that highly qualified, well-compensated teachers are
critical for the success of a high-quality, early education
program. She said in a small school there may be a certified
teacher overseeing several classrooms, with the help of
paraprofessionals and instructional aides; in other schools
there may be one teacher in the classroom. She said the program
has not yet been implemented, so that information is yet
unknown. She stated that because of the stair-stepping grant
program delineated in Section 8, there will be opportunities for
districts to receive additional resources to build their
capacity and offer training. Those receiving grants will have
the opportunity to earn the certifications necessary to ensure
high quality early education programs are produced in
MS. TOBIN, in response to Co-Chair Drummond, said currently 26
districts offer some kind of pre-K program.
COMMISSIONER JOHNSON, to the question of whether each of those
26 districts have at least one teacher with a valid teacher's
certificate in early childhood education, said he would research
for an answer. He said the programs vary a great deal; some are
in partnership with municipalities, while others are partnership
with Head Start or other programs.
REPRESENTATIVE HOPKINS asked whether, under statute, there was
currently a certificate for early education teachers.
COMMISSIONER JOHNSON answered that he knows there is an
endorsement for early childhood on a teaching certificate, but
he said he would need to research to confirm whether there was a
standalone early childhood certificate.
REPRESENTATIVE HOPKINS asked whether that would be like having a
secondary teacher's certificate and then having an endorsement
to teach art or biology, for example.
COMMISSIONER JOHNSON answered that he thinks what Representative
Hopkins was saying was correct. He related that he had just
been made aware that there is a "type E" certificate for early
childhood.
CO-CHAIR DRUMMOND said she had received a note from Posie Boggs,
of the Alaska Reading Coalition, who has been helpful concerning
HB 153. She said Ms. Boggs has asked the committee to think
about the locally designed, evidence-based program term. Co-
Chair Drummond said she does not know where that definition
would be derived.
MS. TOBIN said the definition is provided in Version U of HB
153, [in Section 18, subsection (l), paragraph (1)], on page 19,
(1) "evidence-based reading intervention"
means an intervention based on reliable, trustworthy,
and valid evidence that has a demonstrated record of
success in adequately increasing a student's reading
competency in the areas of phonemic awareness,
phonics, vocabulary development, reading fluency, oral
language skills, and reading comprehension;
MS. TOBIN explained that "intervention" was included as part of
drafting from Legislative Legal and Research Services and may be
considered for deletion. As for "locally designed," she said
she thinks there are Alaska standards, and she deferred to
Commissioner Johnson for comment.
CO-CHAIR DRUMMOND remarked that on page 11 the subject is the
early education program, and "hopefully we're not yet at the
reading intervention stage with those kids." She said she would
like to see a definition added.
REPRESENTATIVE HOPKINS, returning to the subject of a type E
certificate, indicated that a staff person from Representative
Story's office had handed him some information that the type E
childhood certificate is earned with an associate degree and 20
hours of supervised practice. He asked whether this certificate
is what will be used going forward to determine who is qualified
as a certificated early education teacher.
COMMISSIONER JOHNSON confirmed that that is the current
requirement to earn a type E certificate, and he said he has not
contemplated a change to that requirement; however, he said as
the bill is interpreted and regulations are created, that is
something that could be revisited. He surmised that requirement
is based on the practice of other states, but information could
be gathered as to what other states are doing.
REPRESENTATIVE HOPKINS concluded that those regulations had not
yet been decided.
MS. TOBIN moved on to Sections 13-16 of the sectional analysis,
which read as follows [original punctuation provided]:
Section 13.
Amends AS 14.17.500 by adding new subsection (d) that
establishes an early education student shall be
counted in the school district's average daily
membership (ADM) as a half day student once the early
education program has been approved by the department.
Amends AS 14.17.905(a) to include students in early
education programs approved by the department in the
definition of an elementary school.
Amends AS 14.17.905 by adding new subsection (d) to
avoid letting school districts count pre-K students
twice in Foundation Formula ADM calculations.
Amends AS 14.20.015(c) to ensure teaching certificate
reciprocity for teachers moving to Alaska from out-of-
state and adds that such teachers must complete at
least three credits or equivalency in evidence-based
reading instruction in order to be eligible for an
Alaska teaching endorsement in elementary education.
REPRESENTATIVE PRAX asked whether the federal funding referred
to in Section 15 pertains to the Head Start program.
MS. TOBIN answered that Section 15 essentially says that an
early education student cannot be counted twice, for example if
a student is in a Head Start program and a pre-K program. She
clarified, "You can't receive state funds and federal funds for
the same student."
CO-CHAIR DRUMMOND shared that what makes this confusing is that
the federal money for Head Start, which she said she thinks is
about $48 million to Alaska, must be triggered by about $6
million seed money from the state. She said the language should
read "state and federal funding".
CO-CHAIR STORY said she can see it could be valuable for a child
to attend Head Start in the morning and another program in the
afternoon, and she would not want funding compromised in this
scenario.
MS. TOBIN said as the regulations are not yet written, she would
defer to Commissioner Johnson.
COMMISSIONER JOHNSON said he thinks that would need to be worked
out in regulation. Head Start, being a federal program, has its
own rules and regulations, so DEED would want "to be careful
that we don't inadvertently bump into those in a way that is not
helpful." He said it would be necessary to consider all the
programs out there to ensure whatever regulations are worked out
do not interfere with the federal rules surrounding Head Start.
KAREN MELIN, Deputy Commissioner, Department of Education and
Early Development, stated that because Head Start is both
federally and state-funded, DEED would work to write regulations
in a way that maximizes opportunity for students first and then
ensures that partnerships between districts and Head Start
programs work to the best advantage of students.
MS. MELIN, in response to a request for information from
Representative Prax, explained that Head Start is national
program, which has ways to support children in poverty. It has
half-day and full-day programs; it has center-based and home-
based programs. Further, there is early Head Start, which tends
to the needs of those from birth to age three. She said across
Alaska, there are programs in each of those categories: home-
based, part-time, and full-time. She said there is partnership
with school districts where the district sends instruction and
support for students. She said, "All of them have an agreement,
or [memorandum of agreement] (MOA) with Child Find, which helps
them locate those students that are in the greatest need of this
kind of support." She described Head Start as an "all-
encompassing ... opportunity for the children in poverty." She
said she could provide more information to Representative Prax.
REPRESENTATIVE PRAX mentioned competition in the realm of
business but proffered that the state does not want to be
competing with Head Start; therefore, "we'd need to know what
they do so we're doing something different."
MS. MELIN confirmed that DEED wants to make sure Alaska is
complementing Head Start programs with its district programs, to
"work in concert instead of in conflict."
MS. TOBIN moved on to Section 17 in the sectional analysis,
Amends AS 14.20.020 by adding new subsection (l) that
requires all teachers to complete at least three
credits or equivalency in evidence-based reading
instruction in order to be eligible for an endorsement
in elementary education.
MS. TOBIN, in response to a question from Co-Chair Story about
the requirement to complete instruction, pointed out the
language about equivalency on page 13, line 8.
MS. TOBIN returned attention to the sectional analysis. She
began reading Section 18, which starts out as follows [original
punctuation provided]:
Establishes Article 15, Reading Intervention Programs.
Establishes AS 14.30.760, a comprehensive reading
intervention program, designed to increase literacy
for children in kindergarten through grade three. The
department will be required to establish a system of
support for teachers of kindergarten through grade
three students, adopt a statewide screening or
assessment tool to identify students with reading
deficiencies, and provide support to teachers of
kindergarten through grade three students through
training on the use of the statewide screening or
assessment tool and on the science of reading.
REPRESENTATIVE HOPKINS noted that at a previous meeting, the
commissioner had said students would be assessed on the
effectiveness of their reading through the development of a
number of different assessments and opportunities to determine
the proficiency of each reader. Representative Hopkins observed
that what Ms. Tobin had just read seems to indicate that it
would be one type of assessment given several times a year. He
said he assumes that assessment has not yet been developed. He
asked Commissioner Johnson to discuss who he sees being involved
in the development and whether "active educators" would "be at
that table."
COMMISSIONER JOHNSON responded that what is being discussed is a
screener, which he compared to triage. The purpose of the
screener is to identify when a student may be struggling on the
pathway to reading proficiency. The screeners are based on five
components of reading; they are also used to identify when
dyslexia may be an issue. He said most districts are already
providing these screening tools. He said there certainly would
be public input in the selection process and board process of
choosing a statewide screener. He said DEED would allow those
districts that already have an evidence-based screener to
continue using it, as long as it meets "those requirements" so
that no previous progress is lost.
REPRESENTATIVE HOPKINS remarked that he would work with the bill
sponsor and the committee to ensure an active educator voice is
involved in the project. Regarding the mention of dyslexia in
the bill language, he said there are many types of reading
deficiencies, and he recommended the language indicate a broader
picture for the sake of inclusivity.
CO-CHAIR DRUMMOND suggested the language, instead of just
"including students with characteristics of dyslexia", could say
"including but not limited to". She offered her understanding
that this is the first time "dyslexia" would appear in statute,
which she opined would be "a huge step forward for ...
education."
REPRESENTATIVE HOPKINS emphasized his goal of not limiting the
scope of "what those deficiencies look like."
CO-CHAIR DRUMMOND reminded Representative Hopkins that the
entire Alaska Reads Program is based on reading proficiency and
the dyslexic task force she chaired a couple years ago that drew
attention to the issue of dyslexia, and she said she would like
committee members to receive the reported results of that task
force. In response to Representative Hopkins, she said she
thinks more than just dyslexia was the focus of the taskforce,
but dyslexia is the most common form of reading deficiency.
REPRESENTATIVE HOPKINS opined that while it is good to get
scientific words in statute, he does not think "that's the right
limiting factor we should look at."
REPRESENTATIVE PRAX recommended omitting "dyslexia", because
"reading deficiencies" is a broad term.
CO-CHAIR DRUMMOND explained that would not happen because it is
critical to include "dyslexia" as the principle reading
deficiency of students, and it has taken years for it to be
recognized; teachers have been told not to talk about it in the
past. She said dyslexia needs to be addressed early on, so that
students with it can be given an opportunity to read
proficiently.
REPRESENTATIVE PRAX explained that he was focusing on the
writing style, and he suggested that instead of "including", the
committee could choose "especially" or "such as". He opined
that when a broad term is used, followed by an example, "it
tends to exclude everything else."
REPRESENTATIVE HOPKINS indicated he saw both Representative
Prax' and Co-Chair Drummond's points. He said, "If we included
the words 'reading disabilities such as dyslexia', that might
allow us to also start including other physical disabilities
...."
CO-CHAIR DRUMMOND said she thinks "such as" is a good idea. She
offered her belief that one of the principal recommendations of
the task force was to make sure dyslexia was named and defined
in statute. She said she would not be surprised to find a
definition of dyslexia "further back in this bill."
REPRESENTATIVE HOPKINS said he hoped dyslexia "has a common
definition, as well."
CO-CHAIR STORY directed attention to page 13, line 14, which
introduces reading intervention programs. She said she thinks
this is part of a core reading program and what many schools are
incorporating in a basic Tier I reading program. She said she
would like to know where, in standards, is written what the
state's core reading program should comprise. She noted line 29
[on page 14] shows "district reading intervention services", but
she opined that Article 15 should say "evidence-based reading
programs", because intervention should be part of the core
COMMISSIONER JOHNSON responded, "Those would be in our Alaska
state standards for English language arts, and they would be
embedded there in our standards." He said Co-Chair Story is
correct that intervention should not be outside of the core
program. He said any amendment that emphasizes that every
classroom should be using evidence-based reading strategies is
good, because teaching reading based on the five components of
reading has been scientifically proven to work.
CO-CHAIR STORY opined that it would strengthen the Alaska Reads
Act to change "Reading Intervention Programs" to "Evidence-based
Reading Programs". She indicated that [on page 13, at line 27,]
a [subparagraph] (D) would need to be added to state, "reading
for comprehension".
CO-CHAIR DRUMMOND said she thinks the committee should also look
at existing statute AS 14.3 to ensure it does not already
include a section on reading programs.
MS. TOBIN shared that the statute to look at would be AS
14.07.180. She offered her understanding that Commissioner
Johnson may have some recommended language.
COMMISSIONER JOHNSON recalled that a few years ago, then Senator
McKinnon had proposed language to review curriculum around the
state to report what each school was using as curriculum. He
said DEED has that language and could share it with the
committee for consideration.
CO-CHAIR STORY reiterated her view that starting with the
evidence-based reading program and following that with a
description of what the interventions are will strengthen the
Alaska Reads Act.
REPRESENTATIVE TUCK referred to page 13, lines 17-20, regarding
the mention of dyslexia, and he asked if the concern was that
"we're not going far enough with dyslexia" or that "dyslexia
isn't the only thing." He said he reads the current language as
identifying students with reading deficiencies, with an emphasis
on dyslexia.
CO-CHAIR DRUMMOND said the sense she got from the committee is
that they do not want to limit reading deficiencies to just
dyslexia.
REPRESENTATIVE TUCK said he does not see where the limitation
CO-CHAIR DRUMMOND said she does not either. She asked how it
could read "including but not limited to" dyslexia.
REPRESENTATIVE TUCK suggested: "identify students with any
reading deficiencies, including dyslexia".
CO-CHAIR DRUMMOND concurred.
REPRESENTATIVE HOPKINS suggested that since dyslexia is "a
physical issue in the brain wiring," the committee may want to
consider utilizing the word "disability".
CO-CHAIR DRUMMOND responded, "You begin to get into the special
education area; that's what we're trying to avoid." She offered
her understanding that a lot of teachers have identified
students for special education, when what the students really
needed was early intensive reading interventions. She said she
does not believe dyslexia is considered a disability. She said
she thinks Representative Tuck had it right and that it is "our
obligation to identify students with any reading deficiency."
In response to Representative Hopkins, she clarified
Representative Tuck's recommendation was to add "any".
REPRESENTATIVE HOPKINS opined that "included but not limited to"
would be critical but allowed that "any" does help.
CO-CHAIR STORY said she thought it would help if the
commissioner were to explain how many children in Alaska do not
have sufficient reading standards.
COMMISSIONER JOHNSON replied that he did not have the exact
number from the National Assessment of Educational Progress
(NAEP). He said there is no statewide data on kindergarten
through third grade, and he indicated that the Performance
Evaluation for Alaska's Schools (PEAKS) assessment shows that
approximately 60 percent of students in the third- and fourth-
grade range were not proficient in reading - far too many - and
HB 153 seeks to provide the support and focus to ensure more
students are reading. He said one of the more prominent issues
in reading difficulties is dyslexia. He said the word
"including" is not limiting but is an inclusive word. He said
if the screener flags a student as having difficulty in one of
the five components of reading, then there may be further
diagnostic testing to determine whether that student qualifies
for special education or just needs "extra support in the
regular classroom to overcome that challenge, which is the case
many, many times."
CO-CHAIR DRUMMOND emphasized that the goal is not to refer
students to special education unless necessary, "and keeping
them with their peers in the regular reading program, with
appropriate intervention and support, is the way to do it."
REPRESENTATIVE ZULKOSKY said she has been talking with Alaska
Native educators across the state, and she spoke of the
acknowledgment of "the significant and deep and painful,
historic and generational trauma that exists in Alaska." She
said there is a bias, as well as cultural irrelevance, in many
assessment and learning tools used or available for purchase in
Alaska. She asked Commissioner Johnson whether DEED has the
resources for developing culturally relevant tools. She said
she heard appointees to the state board charged with developing
regulations for the department, and many of them do not have
experience related to indigenous English language learners. She
said she would like to hear how the department plans to ensure
rural Alaska Native students "are protected and not ...
disproportionately impacted by the tools that are being put in
place ...."
COMMISSIONER JOHNSON replied that DEED has a tribal liaison,
Joel Isaak, who has done a lot of work on language
revitalization and culturally relevant, sensitive instruction,
and Mr. Isaak would be part of the review process. He added,
"But we wouldn't be dependent just on resources within the
department. Joel has a network of Native educators and others
throughout the state that we do and will draw upon for those
kinds of reviews and analyses." He related that the nature of
the screeners in the early grades are different from some of the
other assessments where students are presented with "passages."
He said there are passages associated with these types of
screeners, but they can be culturally relevant and sensitive.
He indicated these screeners measure things like rate of reading
and whether the student recognizes the alphabet. He stated that
with guidance from Native educators, those screeners are adapted
and made relevant and "in keeping with traditional ways of
knowing in rural Alaska."
REPRESENTATIVE ZULKOSKY expressed her desire for an amendment in
the proposed legislation that would ensure culturally relevant
assessment tools, including screeners and reading curriculum,
can be regionally and culturally relevant, and explicitly that
schools would be allowed to select their own tools "without
bearing the expense of creating those locally developed tools."
She said she has great respect for Mr. Isaak, a large part of
the decision-making body would be comprised of individuals who
do not have "a solid background" in rural and Alaska Native
COMMISSIONER JOHNSON thanked Representative Zulkosky for that
suggestion. He said DEED wants to do everything it can to work
with people all over Alaska to ensure they have "confidence and
the tools and resources that this bill calls for."
REPRESENTATIVE HOPKINS pointed to language on page 13, line 17,
which would require adoption of "a statewide screening or
assessment tool to administer to students in grades kindergarten
through three". He said that indicates that "we are doing a
one-size-fits-all assessment." He asked Ms. Tobin for comment.
MS. TOBIN responded that all instances of "the statewide
screener and assessment tool" were replaced with "a statewide
screener and assessment tool" to allow for more flexibility and
multiple screeners to be adopted. As an example of added
flexibility, she directed attention to language on page 14,
(4) establish a process that allows the
commissioner to waive, upon request, use of the
statewide screening or assessment tool required under
this subsection by a school district if the school
district has adopted an evidence-based reading
screening or assessment tool and the screening or
assessment tool is approved by the department;
REPRESENTATIVE ZULKOSKY acknowledged that was a worthy inclusion
but said she would like additional language regarding the
state's financial and resource partnership with school districts
such that a locally and culturally based tool "not be borne at
the expense of those small districts and that it be in
partnership with the state's resources."
CO-CHAIR DRUMMOND concurred. She said she believes the intent
of the bill was that DEED would be hiring and providing the
teachers, support, and resources to districts and not placing
the burden on districts to pay out of their own budgets.
REPRESENTATIVE ZULKOSKY said she would like those protections
explicitly stated rather than assumed.
CO-CHAIR STORY returned attention to language on page 13, line
14, regarding the removal of "intervention", and she suggested
"local" or "cultural" could preceded "evidence-based" to honor
"the cultural, local ... work that we're striving to provide to
all of our districts."
MS. TOBIN suggested page 14, line 18, may be a good place to
insert an amendment regarding culturally and locally based
screening and assessment tools. In response to Representative
Prax, she read the language, which read as follows:
(b) In adopting a statewide screening or
assessment tool under (a)(1) of this section, the
department shall consider the following factors:
CO-CHAIR DRUMMOND clarified that "locally" and "culturally
relevant" should be one of the factors.
CO-CHAIR STORY said the hope is that that is what all districts
are doing.
MS. TOBIN returned to where she had left off in Section 18 of
the sectional analysis, which continued as follows [original
The department will be required to administer the
statewide screening or assessment tool three times
each school year, once in the fall, once in the
winter, and once in the spring, beginning in 2020. The
statewide screening or assessment tool must determine
specified skills at each grade level: kindergarten,
first grade, and second/third grades.
School districts will be required to offer reading
intervention services in addition to core reading
instruction to all students in kindergarten through
grade three who exhibit a reading deficiency as CS HB
153 v. U | 3.4.2020 | 4 determined by the statewide
screening or assessment. The reading intervention
services must be provided by a district reading
teacher, include explicit and systematic instruction
with proven results based on scientific research,
incorporate daily targeted small group reading
instruction, and be based on students' needs as
determined by regular monitoring of student progress.
The reading intervention services must be reviewed
based on department-approved response to intervention
or multi-tiered system support models.
For each student participating in the reading
intervention services, the district must establish an
individual reading plan. For all students with an
individual reading plan and who also score in the
lowest achievement level on the district screening or
statewide reading assessment, the district must
provide the reading intervention services both during
and outside the school term. Outside the school term,
the reading intervention services must be staffed with
reading teachers and be directed by the students
individual reading plan.
CO-CHAIR DRUMMOND remarked that currently an individual reading
plan is not required. She noted that in the area of special
education, it is called an individual education plan (IEP) and
is mandated by federal Individuals with Disabilities Education
Act (IDEA) requirements. She indicated that intervention
services are for those students not making adequate progress, as
determined by screenings.
MS. TOBIN suggested Commissioner Johnson speak about the reading
intervention plan.
COMMISSIONER JOHNSON clarified that these individualized reading
plans would not be like an Individualized Education Program
(IEP), which he distinguished as a multi-page document
addressing different areas required by federal law and regarding
IDEA. In comparison, the individual reading plans, as mentioned
in the proposed legislation, would be based on the five
components of reading, and he expressed his hope to limit them
to one page in order to keep the focus on the components and the
needs of students. He said the plan for a student should
address that student's reading deficiency. He said this is
another place to address the concerns Representative Zulkosky
had discussed regarding culturally based plans.
CO-CHAIR STORY directed attention to language on page 15, line
21, which states that ["intensive reading intervention services
must"] "be implemented outside of the regular school hours".
She said teachers do not work outside regular school hours
unless they have a contract to do so, which costs money, and she
indicated that otherwise this is an unfunded mandate. She noted
that similarly, the language [of paragraph (4)], on page 16,
line [8] states that ["an individual reading improvement plan
developed under this section must"]:
(4) provide reading intervention services
outside of regular school hours for a student who
scores at the lowest achievement level on the
statewide screening or assessment tool consistent with
(a)(8) of this section; and
CO-CHAIR STORY questioned why "evidence-based" is repeated in
[paragraph] (3), on page 15, lines 10-11, because "that's just a
given to me." She pointed out the requirement for "daily
targeted small group reading instruction" in [paragraph] (5), on
page 15, lines 14-15, and she said it may not be possible to
make that happen every day. She then directed attention to
[lines 4-7], which would require "intensive reading intervention
services" be provided by "a district reading teacher to all
students in grades kindergarten through three", and she
suggested that "or a paraprofessional" be added.
COMMISSIONER JOHNSON stated that based on some of what Co-Chair
Story said, language could be tweaked. He said perhaps instead
of "services must" the language could read "must include some of
the following". In terms of after school hours, he remarked
that many schools have after school reading support programs,
such as reading camps, and "those would qualify as places where
they could address some of these." He reiterated the idea to
state "must include some of the following".
CO-CHAIR STORY responded that amendments of that nature would be
realistic. She asked Commissioner Johnson for feedback about
her idea to add "or a paraprofessional".
COMMISSIONER JOHNSON said he would be fine with that. He said
especially in smaller districts where there is high turnover,
some of the most trained and qualified interventionists are
instructional aides in whom districts have invested a lot of
money. He said educational support professionals could
certainly be part of the solution when working under the
supervision of a certified teacher.
REPRESENTATIVE TUCK requested that the committee hear the rest
of the sectional analysis in the time remaining and hold off
discussion of amendments. He indicated he would not have any
ideas for amending the bill language without having heard the
entire analysis.
MS. TOBIN recapped the paragraph of the sectional analysis she
had read before, pausing for questions. In response to Co-Chair
Drummond, she confirmed that "term" meant the school year. She
continued with the sectional analysis, within Section 18, which
Districts or schools must notify parents if a student
exhibits a reading deficiency at any time during the
school year. Notification must occur within 15 days of
the deficiency being identified. The initial
notification must state the district or school
identified the student as having a reading deficiency
and that an improvement plan will be developed,
describe the current services the student receives and
the proposed additional services the student will need
to remedy the deficiency, and identify strategies the
parent or guardian could use at home to help the
student succeed in reading. If the student is in grade
three, the notification must include a request for a
meeting with the parent, the student's teacher, and
other district staff to discuss appropriate grade
level progression. The meeting must take place at
least 45 days prior to the end of the school year.
Establishes that a student in grade three should
demonstrate proficient reading skills to progress to
grade four. Multiple pathways are provided for
students to demonstrate sufficient reading skills for
progression to grade four, including performance on
the statewide reading screening or assessment or an
alternative reading assessment as determined by the
State Board of Education, or as evidenced through a
student reading portfolio. Good cause exemptions are
included, such as having a disability, or the student
is learning English as a second language. Provides a
process for parents or guardians to request an
exemption for their student.
Districts must provide intensive reading intervention
services to all students who do not progress or
receive a good cause exemption. For students who do
not progress to grade four who previously experienced
delayed grade level progression, an intensive
acceleration class must also be provided by the
Establishes a literacy program to provide direct
support and intervention services to up to ten low-
performing Alaska schools each year that apply for the
services. The department will be responsible for
providing each selected school up to two reading
specialists. A reading specialist is a person who is
employed and funded by the department and who meets
requirements established by the board. One specialist
would be focused on the implementation of reading
intervention services consistently across classrooms,
modeling effective instructional strategies, coaching
and mentoring teachers and paraprofessionals, training
teachers in data literacy, leading and supporting
reading leadership teams, and reporting on school and
student performance to the department. The supporting
reading specialist would assist with all the
activities described above CS HB 153 v. U | 3.4.2020 |
5 or serve as the reading specialist for the school's
early education program, depending on the makeup of
the specific school.
The department will be required to establish a process
for the reading specialists to report on program
implementation, work with the reading specialists to
establish improvement goals, including measures of
interim progress, to select and purchase additional
reading materials to supplement the reading
intervention services, and pay travel costs for a
reading specialist to attend relevant trainings
identified or hosted by the department. The department
will also be responsible for periodically reviewing
staff development programs and recommending to the
board programs that meet high quality standards as
defined under AS 14.07.065.
Establishes AS 14.30.770, schools selected to
participate in an intensive school reading program
will be required to ensure that the reading
specialist(s) were not required to perform functions
that divert from the duties assigned by the
department, coordinate with the reading specialists to
redesign the school's daily schedule to provide time
dedicated to literacy program activities, hold public
meetings to present information on the literacy and
reading intervention program services to parents and
guardians, present an annual update to the public on
these program services at a noticed public meeting,
and create partnerships between the school, families,
and community that focus on promoting literacy and
increasing time spent reading.
Under this new section, the department will be
required to publish on its website and make available
to the public a completed application from each school
selected to participate in the literacy program, the
literacy plan implemented at each selected school, and
a data analysis of the success of the literacy program
and intervention services conducted by an independent
AS 14.30.775 aligns use of the word "district" in this
Act with the definitions given elsewhere in statute
when referring to a school district.
CO-CHAIR DRUMMOND asked about the language pertaining to the
school holding public meetings.
MS. TOBIN said that language is on page 22 of Version U,
beginning on line 24. She said it falls under AS 14.30.770,
Department Reading Program.
CO-CHAIR DRUMMOND remarked that that is "a pretty substantial
requirement placed on the schools." She questioned whether the
public meeting would address all students in the reading program
or just individual students.
MS. TOBIN deferred to Commissioner Johnson.
COMMISSIONER JOHNSON said DEED knows that increasing the reading
proficiency levels of students in Alaska "must include parents
[and] communities and be informed by those communities."
Parents and communities need strategies for supporting their
students to become readers. He said districts are already
required through federal programs to hold public meetings about
the varied aspects of their programs, so this is not a new idea.
He said this is in the section of school improvement; the
employee DEED hires to go out to the communities would be
responsible for "organizing, collaborating, and holding these
meetings to provide that information."
CO-CHAIR DRUMMOND recapped that Commissioner Johnson had stated
that the public meetings are not a new requirement.
MS. TOBIN covered the remaining Sections 19-24 of the sectional
analysis, which read as follows [original punctuation provided]:
Directs early education program staff to be included
in those organizations required to report evidence of
Repeals AS 14.03.410, the early education grant
program, in 11 years once all school districts have
had the opportunity to participate.
Establishes a Teacher Retention Working Group as a new
uncodified law of the State of Alaska.
Is applicability language, relating to endorsements in
elementary education issued on or after the effective
date of this act.
Is transition language, directing the department to
use 2018-19 school accountability rankings for CS HB
153 v. U | 3.4.2020 | 6 purposes of determining the
first cohort of lowest performing schools, to identify
their pre-K grant eligibility for FY 21.
Establishes an effective date of July 1, 2020.
CO-CHAIR DRUMMOND expressed doubt that that target date would be
reached. She offered her understanding that there were "some
proposed changes ... depending on when the legislation actually
passes."
CO-CHAIR STORY directed attention to [paragraph (2)], on page
22, [beginning on] line 9, of Version U, which states that a
"school selected to participate in the reading program" shall:
(2) coordinate with the reading specialist
or specialists to redesign the school's daily schedule
to dedicate time to reading program activities,
including intensive reading intervention services
identified in a written agreement between the school
and the department;
CO-CHAIR STORY recommended "principal" be inserted with
"specialist" because she knows that the most critical thing a
principal does is set the schedule.
COMMISSIONER JOHNSON responded that this section is completely
voluntary; this is a collaborative relationship between the
district and the department.
CO-CHAIR STORY, to another issue, said she knows the goal is to
ensure all students are reading by the third grade. She
expressed concern with the "good cause exemption language." She
observed that the language does not seem to say that the parent
or guardian has the last decision in the matter.
MS. TOBIN proffered that Co-Chair Story was referring to
language on page 17, line 10.
CO-CHAIR STORY directed attention to a sentence on page 17,
[beginning on line 15 through line 18], which read as follows:
School staff shall work with the parents or guardians
to schedule a date, time, and place for the meeting
and, if no parent or guardian attends the meeting, the
teacher and school staff shall determine grade level
progression.
CO-CHAIR STORY indicated she was uncomfortable requiring those
involved to pinpoint a certain date and time and encouraged,
instead, simply to state that the parents will work with the
school to make the determination. In response to Co-Chair
Drummond, she clarified that she would like to amend the
sentence so that it would read as follows:
School staff shall work with the parents or guardians
to determine whether retention or progression is in a
student's best interest.
MS. TOBIN said she thinks the proposed change would be in line
with the bill sponsor's intent.
CO-CHAIR DRUMMOND asked Commissioner Johnson to clarify for the
committee "who is or is not requiring retention to happen."
COMMISSIONER JOHNSON responded that the proposed legislation is
not a retention bill; it does not include "a hard retention
clause." He said he thinks the bill is inclusive. He said the
language referenced by Co-Chair Story references a meeting but
would not be limited to one meeting. He pointed out that if a
student has a reading plan, then there has been communication
going on for some time. Even if the language were changed, the
determination must be made at a meeting on some date, at some
time. Regarding retention and progression, he stated, "What the
bill acknowledges is that when you get to the end of third
grade, whether you've progressed without the skills necessary to
read well or you're retained, that is a consequential decision
either way; one doesn't diminish the impact of the other." He
said retention is just one of many interventions from which a
classroom teacher and family can choose in order to support a
student. It is rarely used but can be beneficial for a student
depending on his/her start date and age. He said the exemptions
are in place to ensure that [retention] is not applied
inappropriately, and safeguards are in place to give every
chance for success to the student. He said how a student does
in reading by the end of the third grade will predict how that
student does in his/her assessments in tenth grade. For
students who exit third grade with lower reading proficiency,
the gap grows bigger as they progress to the upper grades. He
said he thinks the bill gives the opportunity for parents,
teachers, and principals to be at the table, and for the
legislature to know how policy is being made and applied through
reporting, and that decisions that affect students are not made
based on one test score but via "multiple ways to show evidence
that they are proficient as they move on."
COMMISSIONER JOHNSON, in response to questions from Co-Chair
Drummond, said almost every district has a promotion/retention
policy in its board policy handbook. He said he is not aware of
data collected by the department reflecting how many students
are retained statewide. He suggested that information may be
available in "the Oasis Report."
CO-CHAIR STORY directed attention to language on page 19, lines
1-5, which read as follows:
(4) if the student's parents or guardians
requested a good cause exemption under (g) of this
section and the school board rejected the request,
include a statement that the request for a good use
exemption was rejected and a copy of the written
notification the school board provided the parents or
guardians under (h) of this section.
CO-CHAIR STORY noted that the language that lists the
limitations of a good cause exemption is found on [page 17, line
31, through page 18, line 13, under subsection (g), paragraphs
(1)-(4)]. She concluded that the school board can reject the
parents' request. She said she does not feel that under law the
school district can tell the parent their child has to be
retained, and she asked Commissioner Johnson whether the parents
could prevail if they took the matter to court.
COMMISSIONER JOHNSON answered that since he is not an attorney,
he would have to confer with one who could pull up particular
cases. He said he thinks everyone involved with this
legislation would advocate for parents having the authority to
make those final decisions. He said attendance rates are an
issue in some districts, and this affects performance. If a
student, who misses 80 days of school can move to the next grade
level, that is "consequential for everyone involved." He said
it is a monumental decision for all involved.
CO-CHAIR STORY encouraged the committee find out the answer to
the question. Regarding lost days, she noted that the Juneau
School District (JSD) had truancy officers and at one time
established fines for truancy, but for many children the reason
they were not coming to school was economic, so the parents
could not pay the fines. She said she brought that up to
illustrate that it would be unwise to say that the district's
word overrides that of the parents.
CO-CHAIR DRUMMOND said she was having difficulty understanding
how, if a child who misses 80 days of third grade can move on to
fourth grade because of his/her parents' insistence, the school
could possibly provide the support that child would need in
fourth grade.
REPRESENTATIVE TUCK offered his understanding that that does
happen; in Fort Yukon "kids are missing over 50 days of school."
The question is whether to allow the child to advance when
professionals are saying it is not a good idea. He said some of
that needs to be left to local control, and he does not have the
answer but appreciates the conversation.
CO-CHAIR DRUMMOND said hopefully children will receive the help
they need in Kindergarten so that the situation never gets to
that point.
CO-CHAIR STORY reiterated her stance on finding out about the
legal aspect.
10:1:43 AM
REPRESENTATIVE PRAX said he thinks it is essential "to figure
that question out." He asked, "If they're not participating, do
you have to continue to provide the service that ultimately is
going to fail?" He said it is an absurd situation that must be
REPRESENTATIVE HOPKINS said this is a reading bill. He offered
his understanding that "the discussion that Representative Story
brought up" revolves around reading ability and literacy
proficiency - not truancy, which he said would be "an entirely
different discussion." He said allowing the school board to
override the parents' decision is concerning. He mentioned the
National Association for Primary Education (NAPE) score and
noted that the big five school districts in Alaska "are within
decimals of national averages on our reading scores," and thus
the issue of retention and the school board policies overruling
the decision of parents will disproportionately impact rural
Alaska. He said parents will have to argue for exemptions. He
We have the expectation that parents and guardians are
going to understand the discussions that are happening
throughout this process with the teachers and with the
principals, and we're assuming that those parents are
going to have the literacy levels themselves to be
able to understand what the full concept is behind
this bill."
MS. TOBIN brought attention to language on page 16, beginning on
line 18, which gives the parameters of the conversation that
would be held with parents if their third-grade child were being
considered for retention. She informed committee members that
legislation was introduced during the Twenty-Eighth Alaska State
Legislature by then Senator Berta Gardner and Senator Gary
Stevens, which spoke to the issue of parental choice and
retention. She offered to introduce that language for their
consideration as a possible amendment.
CO-CHAIR DRUMMOND turned attention to Section 6, on page 3,
which she said would change the starting age of a child
[entering kindergarten] to age five on or before June 1
preceding the beginning of the school year. She indicated the
current cutoff is September 1. She said that change would
significantly change the population entering kindergarten. She
said she had discussed with Senator Shelly Hughes, who serves on
the Senate Education Standing Committee, about the importance of
Section 6, and Senator Hughes said that change needs to be
postponed to allow parents time to plan, because this change
could result in economic impact for those parents with children
who would have to wait a year to start kindergarten because of
the change in the cutoff date.
CO-CHAIR STORY encouraged more discussion on the date, based on
the testimony of Abbe Hensley, [Executive Director, Best
Beginnings], who discussed why she thought it was important to
keep the September date. She requested that the language in the
bill by Senators Gardner and Stevens be read to the committee.
She said she thinks there were many parents, with children not
at reading proficiency by the end of the third grade, who did
not want their children retained. In response to Representative
Tuck, she clarified her concern as follows:
My concern is just that the parent does not have the
last word, should have the last word, and that would
not be upheld in the court of law because parental
authority seems to be sacred.
REPRESENTATIVE TUCK asked who has the last word in this bill.
CO-CHAIR STORY answered that it seems like the local school
board does.
REPRESENTATIVE TUCK said, "Not the Department of Education but
the local school board."
[AN UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER] said, "Um-hmm."
MS. TOBIN proffered that an amendment was available pertaining
to the conversation that takes place between the parents and
teacher regarding retention in third grade, but she said it is
"very ambiguous." She said through good cause exemption, the
last word is through the school board. She indicated that "in
that previous section," when the parent is not applying for a
good cause exemption "but would like to have the conversation,
there is no final decision-making power outlined in this bill.
REPRESENTATIVE TUCK concluded that if there were a lawsuit, it
would be against the school district. He added, "Right now,
this still doesn't address it; it just gives it to local
control."
MS. TOBIN, at the invitation of Co-Chair Drummond, read the
language from Senators Gardner and Stevens, as follows:
At the meeting described in this section, ... the
parent or guardians, the teacher, and the
participating staff members shall decide whether the
student will ... advance the next grade level in the
next school year. If the parent or guardian, the
teacher, and the participating staff members are not
in agreement, the parent or guardian shall decide
whether the student will advance to the next grade
level, unless circumstances exist as specified in the
policy adopted by the district that would prevent
advancement.
CO-CHAIR DRUMMOND ascertained from Ms. Tobin that the proposed
legislation had not passed.
[HB 153 was held over.]
There being no further business before the committee, the House
Education Standing Committee meeting was adjourned at 10:21 a.m.

Josh Berwanger – “Oh Bis!” (Hot on the heels of his stellar debut solo album, Strange Stains, released last fall on Good Land Records, comes a new 7” from the former member of The Anniversary. Released this week on limited edition colored vinyl via the podcast Too Much Rock - it’s the third in their singles series. The A-side - heard here - is a raging, two-and-a-half minute power-pop anthem about an unrequited love and the B-side is Josh’s unique spin of the The Jags' 1978 under-the-radar classic, "Back Of My Hand".) http://berwangermusic.com/

Centro-matic – “Cross Path” (The Texas-based indie-rock/alt-country veterans led by Will Johnson released their eleventh studio album, Take Pride In Your Long Odds this week via Navigational Transmissions/Thirty Tigers. The new album finds Johnson and Co. recharged with a solid collection of upbeat, ragged guitar-led anthems that recall Springsteen, especially with the propulsive fuzzed-out chug of the standout single here.) http://www.centro-matic.com/

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah – “Coming Down” (Down to just two original members - drummer Sean Greenhalgh and frontman Alec Ounworth - CYHSY have reinvented themselves for their experimental yet familiar fourth album, Only Run, out now via the band’s Bandcamp page. The first single is a buzzing fuzz-leaden stomp with spiraling synths that matches Alec’s distinctly quirky yelp with the booming baritone of guest Matt Berninger from The National for a standout moment. Be sure to check out the band on tour this summer.) http://cyhsy.com/

G&T Earle Limited Bag Seal, Image & Found by Petem.
G&T Earle Hull Limited. Cement manufacturers & ship owners. Same on both sides of the seal.
Trade mark of the Pelican Brand is from Dylan Moore's Cement Kilns - Wilmington
"In 1890 C. F. Burley’s son, William H. Burley, became Director and Manager. [of The Humber Brick & Tile Works] Three years later he negotiated a contract to supply the Wilmington Cement Works in Hull of George and Thomas Earle with three cargoes of blue clay a week for a period of six years (later increased) at a price of two shillings and sixpence per ton free on board. …. Burley was able to finance the purchase of wagons but the cost of a locomotive was beyond him. Earle’s came to the rescue with one which they purchased from (it is believed) Whitaker Bros. Ltd. who had been using it in Hull on the construction of the Alexandra Dock Extension." From INDUSTRIAL RAILWAYS OF LINCOLNSHIRE K.P.Plant :- INDUSTRIAL RAILWAYS OF LINCOLNSHIRE K.P.Plant :-

"The seal has the same stamp on both sides. It depicts a pelican with spread wings, standing on a nest with five chicks, all within two inscribed circular bands. The inner band reads, G & T EARLE LIMITED HULL, and the outer band, LEAD SEALED PELICAN BRAND.
G & T Earle, a major cement manufacturer established in the early 19th century, recorded the trade name ‘Pelican’ cement in September 1897."

Asian Massage Tampa
"In many cases, the mortgage to their parents' house is the collateral for their debt" to what often are Asian traffickers, said Terry Coonan, director of Florida State University's Center for Advancement of Human Rights. "So their debt becomes their family's debt."
The Tampa area is a hotspot for such trafficking in Florida, Coonan said, thanks in part to its immigrant communities. Miami and Jacksonville are also problem areas.
For years, governments have tried to shut down massage parlors by arresting the women working there — with little effect.
"I've been working these places forever, " said Michael Victor, a Tampa Police Department detective whose beat specializes in making sure adult entertainment businesses aren't breaking the law. "We're not getting anywhere."
State and local governments are now taking their fight to the business owners and landlords who benefit from the activity.
Last month, Gov. Rick Scott announced the suspension of 81 massage licenses he said had been illegally obtained for $10, 000 or more each through an unnamed state massage school.
Tampa city attorneys are drafting an ordinance they hope will chip away at the ability of lawbreaking massage parlors to do business. City officials will use a variety of tools to go after the business owners and their landlords, Assistant City Attorney Rebecca Kirk told the city council this month.
That means going beyond the most direct approach: arresting women and charging them with prostitution, Kirk said.
"That's the least effective approach, " Coonan said. "You don't get at the people making thousands of dollars a week from these women."
In many cases, however, the women refuse to cooperate with police, making it hard to break up the trafficking rings that exploit them, said Tampa attorney Katherine O'Donnelly.
O'Donnelly approached Councilman Mike Suarez about taking action against massage parlors. She has been interested in fighting human trafficking since her student days at Florida State University.
Suarez said last week it's not clear how many Tampa businesses are involved in the kind of behavior the city is targeting.
"The pervasiveness of it isn't really the key here, " he said. "It's about letting them get a toehold in the city."
Kirk will return to the city council on Nov. 1 with a proposal to limit the hours massage businesses can operate — an effort to knock out the late-night business that may involve prostitution.
The ordinance also will ban people from living at the businesses. Critics of human trafficking say victims are often forced to live at the businesses, sometimes all in one room, in effect turning them into bordellos.
The city's plans should have an effect, Coonan said. He suggested city officials look into banning massage parlors within a certain distance of schools and churches.
Suarez said the city plans to approach the problem a piece at a time, countering suspected business owners as they change tactics. That will work better, he said, than laying down a single, overarching set of rules.

FIRETOX -Toxic effects of wildfires on aquatic systems
Coordinator - Nelson Abrantes
Programme - Compete
Execution dates - 2013-06-01 - 2015-09-30 (28 Months)
Funding Entity - FCT
Funding for CESAM - 88009 €

Wildfire is the major disturbance in Mediterranean forests, posing an important threat to life, human goods, and natural resources in fire-prone forest areas. In the case of Portugal, wildfires devastate in the last decade an average of 140 000 ha per year. Fire frequency in Portugal is also not expected to decrease in the foreseeable future, not just because of the likely increase in fire-propitious meteorological conditions due to climate change but also because of the nature of the country’s forestry activities.
A key environmental concern in relation to wildfires is that they constitute a diffuse source of contamination of the aquatic systems affecting the water quality, namely through the production and subsequent exportation of deleterious pyrolytic substances, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and also through the input of metals associated to ash/soil loads. Concern about PAHs relates to their toxicity, carcinogenicity, environmental persistence, and tendency to bioaccumulate. Contamination of water bodies by postfire inputs of various metals may constitute also an environmental problem, as some of them are poisonous at high concentrations, are persistence in the environment and tend to bioaccumulate.
A substantial part of the PAHs and metals can end up in downstream aquatic habitats, since wildfires can also enhance greatly runoff generation and the associated transport of sediments. In fact, preliminary results yielded by the proponent team showed the presence of distinct PAHs in runoff and water samples from a burnt area and concerning toxic effects in organisms exposed to them (Campos et al, in press), which emphasizes the urgently needed to provide a sound scientific basis for assessing, monitoring and predicting the risks of surface water pollution by recently burnt areas. Moreover, both PAHs and metals constitute a concerning risk to human health, either by direct consumption of water with concentrations exceeding guideline values, or by use of water for recreational activities as fishing and swimming. Whilst the effects of wildfire on hydrological and erosion processes have received considerably research attention (including in Portugal by members of the proponent), the information on post-fire exports of PAHs and metals from recently burnt areas has been poorly studied so far. Also the toxic effects of this ash-loaded runoff on aquatic biota and human health remain an important research gap.
The present FIRETOX proposal addresses this urgent need for a better understanding of the toxic effects that wildfires can cause in downstream aquatic ecosystems. It therefore aims at:
• assessing the production and exportation of PAHs and metals by runoff in burnt areas at plot-to- catchment scale (task 2);
•determining the toxicity of runoff and sediment samples from burnt areas on aquatic organisms from different trophic/functional groups, and relate it to the samples’ PAH and metal contents (task 3);
• evaluating the potential of fire-produced PAHs and metals for bio-amplification and bio-accumulation in aquatic biota (pelagic and benthic organisms) (task 4);
• developing and testing in-situ assays for field validation in additional burnt areas (task 5);
• elaborating a protocol that uses one or more of parameters studied by for a rapid and reliable assessment of the potential risks that recently burnt areas pose for aquatic biota and human health due to pollution of downstream surface water bodies with PAHs and metals (task 6).
The knowledge gap that FIRETOX addresses is of special and urgent importance for the implementation of the Water Frame Directive (WFD). Namely, the WFD established the obligation to characterize the various sources of point and diffuse pollution of water bodies. In this context, also FIRETOX’s contribution to the knowledge about the eco-toxicological response of pelagic and benthic species to runoff from burnt slopes and catchments deserves special mention. This knowledge is fundamental for the type of integrated assessment that the WDF demands, in this specific case of the off-site effects of wildfires on surface water quality. The FIRETOX protocol is envisaged as an important contribution to such an integrated assessment for future wildfires. Therefore, it will be duly divulged to authorities with responsibilities in implementing and upholding the WFD in Portugal.
The topic of the FIRETOX proposal has a strongly multi-disciplinary character. These three distinct fields of expertise - i.e. field hydrology, aquatic eco-toxicology and environmental organic chemistry – are duly covered by the FIRETOX team.

It's fair to say M3 have had a difficult term so far. Due to injuries and illness, we were limited to training in fours for the first couple of weeks and didn't manage to have an outing as eight until Spring Head to Head. Despite this, we managed to put down a respectable time there. It felt like we made a lot of progress in the following weeks and when our second race, Champs Head, came up, we felt a lot more prepared. But then it turned into a crab-filled disaster.
Still, we knew that at our best, we were better than most crews in our division and with a Downing rugby boat ahead of us, the task for day one seemed manageable.
Our row down felt pretty solid and after seeing Downing rowing out of time and unable to keep up with us, we arrived at the start line fairly confident. Our start was pretty terrible, but despite this we started gaining on Downing and the first whistle came quickly. The second and third followed rapidly and we made the bump just past top station.
It was a solid performance we can definitely build on during the rest of the week. We'll be chasing Caius 3 tomorrow, who were bumped by Jesus 3 today.

Sabres prospect Sam Reinhart ‘relaxed’ for NHL debut
BUFFALO – On the outside, top Sabres prospect Sam Reinhart was a cool customer this morning. The 18-year-old calmly answered questions about his NHL debut in tonight’s season opener against the Columbus Blue Jackets.
“I’m pretty relaxed now,” Reinhart said inside the First Niagara Center. “It seems like a usual morning. But there’s no question it’s the biggest so far of my life, so I’m pretty excited.”
Sabres coach Ted Nolan knows Reinhart, the No. 2 pick in June, will be nervous later today.
“Inside he’ll be jumping around like a jackrabbit,” he said.
Incredibly, Reinhart’s brother, Griffin, the No. 4 pick in 2012, will make his NHL debut Friday with the New York Islanders.
“It means my parents are busy,” Sam Reinhart said.
His parents, Paul, an NHL veteran, and Theresa, will be in Buffalo tonight.
Reinhart centered Cody Hodgson and Brian Gionta this morning, his linemates all week.
In lineup news, forward Brian Flynn and defensemen Tyson Strachan and Nikita Zadorov will be scratched tonight.
Before the Sabres began their skate this morning, Nolan gathered his players in a circle to start the season.
“I just really believe in the power of a circle and the strength of a unit, and there’s no stronger symbol there is, the symbol of a circle,” Nolan said. “It’s the circle of a drum. It beats mother earth and what have you. It’s just a little, small thing. Every journey begins with that first step. I thought it would be a nice gesture if we take that first step together.”
Update: Columbus star Ryan Johansen, who signed a new contract Monday and missed training camp, will play tonight.
“That’s shift to shift in watching him and seeing how he’s reacting when he gets back to the bench too,” Columbus coach Todd Richards said. “You can tell a lot about guys when they get back and they’re huffing and puffing and you can see where they’re at. We’ll be monitoring it and talking as coaches and watching.”

Is Vegetable Gardening Worth It?
Exercise, fresh air and the freshest produce available are some of the best reasons to vegetable garden, say experts
By Deborah J. Sergeant
Dennis Ouellette, owner of Ontario Orchards in Oswego. “It’s a complex process,” he says of growing a vegetable garden. “But the rewards usually outweigh the difficult experience.”
If you’re gardening only to save money, it’s probably not worth it, according to Dennis Ouellette, owner of Ontario Orchards in Oswego.
“If you figure out your inputs and the value of your time, it’s a wash,” he said.
But he still think people should vegetable garden “if not only for the quality and freshness of it, and the varieties of it, and to really understand the production at the commercial as well as the private, residential level,” he said.
Once consumers battle pests, weather, weeds and harvesting issues, Ouellette said they have a better idea of how difficult it is for commercial growers to pull it off year after year.
“It’s a complex process,” he said, “but the rewards usually outweigh the difficult experience.”
Ontario Orchards sells both produce and items needed to grow gardens.
Area experts say gardening offers many benefits and, with a few modifications, most people can garden well into their retirement years.
“You’re in charge,” said Jim Sollecito, New York state certified lifetime senior landscape professional, who owns Sollecito Landscape Nursery in Syracuse. “The stuff you grow yourself is always healthier because you’re in charge. Physical participation in gardening can improve one’s mobility and relive stress and the stiffness of arthritis.”
Busy people may feel like they don’t have the time to garden. Sollecito encourages them to consider edible landscaping. Berry bushes, for example, don’t need the intensive care that strawberry plants require for weeding and watering.
“Strawberries are hard to grow,” he said. “You can’t put them in landscape and they require renovation every few years.”
Sollecito plants rhubarb, a perennial, in beds with other plants. Their edible stalks, complemented by large leaves, works well in landscaping. He also likes combining tomatoes in a bed with weigela for a pleasing mix of color, foliage and fruit.
He likes juneberries, which offer early bloom and berries by the end of June.
Sollecito recommends Polana red raspberries and Bristol black raspberries.
“Those are two things that just about any home could have along the border of the property because they don’t need 12 hours of sun,” he said.
He also likes elderberries, the Adams and York varieties, both for their late flowering in July and tasty purple berries.
“They’re lovely landscape plants with great, edible fruit without spraying,” Sollecito.
The buds of daylilies are also edible. Sollecito said they taste like cucumber “with a peppery aftertaste.”
Pepper plants’ shiny leaves and medium height also help them blend right into landscaped beds with full sun.
If you’ve downsized, you may not have the space to garden like you used to. But that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy eating what you’ve grown. Sollecito said that container gardening can help people with small yards, patio homes and even apartments grow food.
“Make sure you use pots with a hole in the bottom,” he cautioned.
Drilling holes into a five-gallon bucket or a plastic bin and filling it with soil can provide a portable growing pot for a patio. Garden centers also sell pouch plants and containers meant to hook on railings or hang from porches.
Gardening Isn’t Just for Adults
Still having a hard time getting your kids to eat fruits and veggies? Studies show one solution is to grow your own.
Kids get excited as they watch a garden yield fresh foods and are more motivated to eat what they helped grow. It gives kids a good understanding of what it takes to get vegetables to the dinner table and teaches them about healthy food choices. Gardening is also a great way to take a break from all the technology, and get into extra exercise and enjoy being outdoors.
Whether you have a small patio bucket or can allocate square footage in your backyard, start your planning now. It’s important to know which growing zone you are in, so use online resources to determine your right climate zone and planting times.
To get kids interested, the Arizona Farm Bureau suggests looking through colorful seed catalogs together and letting them help pick out choices. But you don’t need to bore them with every planning detail.
Keep their responsibilities age appropriate. Older children can be more involved in the planning and design of the garden, harvesting and even preserving some of the yield.
Younger children can help with planting seeds, weeding and watering, but try and get them their own age-appropriate tools and gloves that fit them, according to the farm bureau. Little ones will enjoy their tasks more with gloves and tools sized for small hands.
You should also give the kids their own space and vegetables so they have a sense of ownership with a gardening space all their own, within Mom’s and Dad’s larger plot.

Dante’s Inferno: An Animated Epic My Reviews 02 APR 2010
EA Games recently released Dante’s Inferno, a re-imagining of the original epic poem sharing the same name, and a game that borrows much from the hack and slash classics that is God of War. Of course, in an attempt to cash in on the big release, EA has seen it fit to commission the creation of Dante’s Inferno: An Animated Epic – basically a straight to DVD, feature length film created from the stitched together work originating from a number of animation houses, much in the vein of The Animatrix and Batman: Gotham Knight.
But here’s the kicker. It’s actually a stitched together movie that’s got the formula right!
The story follows Dante, a knight returned from the Crusades only to find his beloved Beatrice dead, slain at the hands of one who steals her very soul and transports it straight to hell. Realizing that it is his fault and with nothing else but the salvation of his beloved on his mind, Dante charges after the dark figure and attempts to break into Hell as a living mortal, though this is initially denied to him. However, be it divine or demonic intervention, his sins get sewn upon his body and his renewed spirit, together with the unexpected council from the long dead poet Virgil, allows him to break down the doors and so his descent through the various levels of Hell begins as he tracks down Beatrice’s soul in an effort to free her and deal with the Dark One responsible for her capture.
Limbo. Lust. Gluttony. Greed. Anger. Heresy. Violence. Fraud. Treachery. Dante and his Hellish scythe must cleave the way through these all and in the process confront his own trespasses if he is ever to save the pureness that is Beatrice from the clutches of pure evil!
This is just one of the looks (probably the most bedraggled) that Dante and Virgil sport throughout the movie...
In fairness, borrowing only the smallest of elements from Dante Alighieri’s masterpiece, Dante’s Inferno, Dante’s Inferno: An Animated Epic is written by Joe Goyette and was released in February 2010, featuring segments from six different animation studios, including Film Roman (Dead Space: Downfall), Manglobe (Samurai Champloo), Dongwoo Animation, JM Animation and Production I.G., and is delivered through the eyes of six different directors, including Shuko Murase (Ergo Proxy) and Yasoumi Umetsu (Kite: Liberator).
As mentioned above, the story is pretty much one way traffic in that you basically have Dante starting at point one and hacking and slashing his way through to the final encounter at point b. However, along the way things get interesting as with each new level of Hell comes a bit of backstory which then slowly sheds light on as to how this situation did eventually arise as well as Dante’s rather less than innocent involvement in this whole matter. Of course, the big thing for this sewn together movie is the various realizations of hell and as such, the story manages to get this one nailed down pretty tightly as you are taken on a truly harrowing journey through the underworld. Of course, not all plot ends are explained nor followed fully to their end for that matter, but for the most part by the end of the movie you can be satisfied that a full story has been told, left possible room for a sequel and at that you haven’t just sat through an hour and a half of mindless violence without something to show for it.
In terms of visuals, for the most part Dante’s Inferno really impresses. Film Roman gets things going with some great animated sequences and their particular vision of the demonic hands sewing up Dante is a thing to behold. Manglobe as can be expected churn out some stellar action sequences and stylish backdrops and this is complemented by Production I.G. segment at the end. Unfortunately the character design from the two Korean studios don’t exactly meet my approval, but their capturing of the action as well as the visual look for their respective circles of hell are certainly well worth the look.
As a whole, the film manages to make Hell as repulsive and harrowing as what you can imagine, throwing some disturbing imagery at you whenever it can. The animation remains tight and fluid and as a whole, the whole thing is pretty nicely choreographed, though you do have to make a conscious effort to make the mental leap each time Dante and Virgil take the character design shuffle with each new animation studio crossing. Of course bloodshed and gore are central to the whole Dante’s Inferno experience and as such you need to go into this expecting plenty of blood, severed body parts and spilled guts literally littering the screen – which they do I’ll have you know.
Oh, and do realize that there are plenty of biblical and demonic references to take in. Showing this at a Sunday School camp may not necessarily be a good idea.
Quite frankly, I don’t like the multiple studios handling a movie gig but I will grudgingly admit that Dante’s Inferno: An Animated Epic had got the formula right. The segments are tightly bound together and form a coherent and single story that is quite enjoyable to sit through. It is a polished release with some great audio in terms of soundtrack and voice acting, some hellishly rendered, effective animation and manages to suck you in and make you sit down and watch from start to finish.
If you love your animation brutal, bloody, stylish and full of fight (with just a tinge of disturbed), you can’t go wrong with Dante’s Inferno: An Animated Epic.
Who says sewing is for sissy boys?
Meeting your father in hell can never be a good thing, right?
Believe it or not, this is actually one of the more pleasant demons to behold!

Catherine Game System Game Review And Commentary
by donyell July 17, 2020 November 17, 2020 playing games
In the world today video games are dominated by a small number of principal kinds of games. I prefer to call these as “Feed the Peasant Games” (Medieval II: Total War), “Shooter Games” (Rage), Platform Games (Super Mario Galaxy 2), Sports Simulations (Tiger Woods PGA Tour) and Role Playing Games (Fallout New Vegas). Adventure Games (Shadow Complex) were a one time well-liked variety, but now are nearly neglected. Yes there are even more types and a great number of combos of these genres, however nearly all are placed into some predictable bracket. Catherine for the most part is an Adventure Game.
If you recently read my blog “Packing the Fudge in Your Game and Taking a Byte of Video Game Relationships” (you can Google it), you are aware I analyze that various console games are journeying to a new path of developing relationships and personalized love affairs. So now Catherine, a recent game from Altus certainly hits the mark in this context. The game play centers around Vincent a 30ish information technology worker who works during the day and in the evening when not asleep, he spends time at at his number one bar. Vincent has a significant other named Katherine (yes with a “K”), who is kind of a relentless crone, even though she would seem to have the best of intentions. She is driving him into wedlock and he is uncertain if this is what he actually desires. To throw a wet blanket on his decision, he interacts with a really dissimilar type of chick named Catherine (this one spelled with a “C”). She is young, stunning, very exhilarating and all about having a good time. She finally ends up staying the night with Vincent. At the moment pitiable Vincent is in a dilemma about his particular situation. This forces him to have some horrifying bad dreams filled with sheep who aspire to slay him in actual life.
Your time spent in the game is separated between Vincent’s time spent in his dreams, where you will need to accomplish ever increasingly more challenging puzzles to escape from the dream world and periods in the lounge, in which you will be talking with your close friends and pushing the storyline ahead. The creative ideas are unprecedented here on the story-line side of Catherine. This is not your grandfather’s model of adventure game. Here you definitely will locate two uncommon video game points, faithfulness and fear of total commitment.
The soundtrack and artwork are excellent and enrich the game play. Personally, I did not care for the Japanamation type of drawing people, because they appear to be from a scene from the “Speed Racer” cartoon, but thank God Chim-Chim is not used. The dream scenes are a succession of the identical puzzle that gets more difficult as the game progresses. These puzzles are not my cup of tea and some users will be unhappy with the hassles they introduce.
Your period of time spent in the bar (The Castrated Goat) or whatever it is called) is the principal area of the game. This is well setup and a delight to play. In these sequences you speak with your good friends and clear up the experiences in your life, getting closer to a solution to your dilemmas. There is ethical compass contained in the game to help you stay in tune with the decision system. This function no doubt sets up an alternate repeat of the game calculated on new selections.
Things I was happy with: Soundtrack, steady graphics and cut scenes, creative storyline, moral compass and original new characters. Contrary to recent bowel discharges for instance Duke Nukem Forever, they also made a very good complimentary demo which allows you to test out the game before you make an investment in the paid edition.
Factors I did not think were good: The repetitive level layout puzzle game. Even though I enjoy anime, 3d generated characters would have been a far more suitable choice. The game is clearly a Japanese game converted into English, but in spite of the amount of Western names are presented the game is philosophically aligned with Japan. Regrettably, to this point the game is only on the market for consoles. So where is the PC adaptation for us controller inept customers?
This product may perhaps appear like a cartoon, but it is certainly not for little tikes. The ideas are very and have the current warning: Blood, Partial Nudity, Sexual Situations, Strong Language, Use of Alcohol, and Violence. The game is rated M for valid reasons. On some discussion boards Catherine is reviled mainly because it is not a pornographic material. So if you are an 18 year old monkey spanker, forget about this game and go right to your favorite porn site and download explicit Japanese animations.
All in all Catherine is a nice, pleasing title which provides relationship challenges and solutions, action and mystery. I rate it Very Good. Footage of Catherine can be seen at GamePirates Forums Video Area, thanks to associate Susan Lancaster. So check it out and let us know what you like or dislike about this game!

(Note: The first completed span of the new Scudder Falls (I-295) Toll Bridge opened to traffic during overnight hours on July 9, 2019.) The Commission is a self-supporting public-service agency that receives neither federal nor state tax dollars to finance its projects or operations. Funding for the operations, maintenance and upkeep of its bridges and related transportation facilities is solely derived from revenues collected at its toll bridges. The Commission’s jurisdiction extends along the Delaware River from the Philadelphia-Bucks County line north to the New Jersey/New York border. The bridges carried more than 139.2 million cars and trucks in 2018.

Phil Borges launches new trailer and Kickstarter for mental health documentary, "Crazywise"
Filmmakers Phil Borges and Kevin Tomlinson yesterday launched a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign and released a new extended trailer for "Crazywise," a documentary on alternative solutions to the current mental health crisis.
The goal of the campaign is to raise $75,000 by June 20 for remaining production and post-production costs.
May is Mental Heath Month, and "Crazywise" embodies the need for additional education, information and resources about mental health treatments.
A 20-year fascination with shamanism leads photographer and filmmaker Phil Borges to question how Western culture defines and treats severe mental disorders. He meets and begins filming Adam Gentry, a 29-year-old former wakeboard champion who struggles with his sanity following a psychotic break. Desperate and feeling shame from being labeled with a potential lifelong disease, Gentry goes off his meds and embraces meditation. Later, after revealing his mental diagnosis, Gentry is turned away from future meditation retreats. he soon becomes homeless, alienated from his family and is living alone out of a friend's car.
While documenting Gentry's story, Borges becomes increasingly aware of the severity of the mental health crisis in America. He discovers an emerging, survivor-led movement supported by a passionate group of renowned mental health professionals, activists and scholars who are advocating for alternatives to the biomedical based standards by which most mental illness is currently defined and treated.
View the trailer and additional info on the Kickstarter page: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/829396017/crazywise-r...
The "Crazywise" production team has spent two years filming with Gentry while conducting interviews with more than 35 experts including Robert Whitaker, Gabor Mate, Mary Olson, E. Fuller Torrey, Will Hall and Sandra Ingerman.
Borges and Tomlinson are available for interviews during the Kickstarter campaign, which runs until midnight on Friday, June 20. Backer Rewards include DVD and digital versions of the film once it's finished, sensory deprivation float sessions at Float Seattle, limited edition pieces of Phil Borges' art and workshops with the filmmakers.
The extended "Crazywise" trailer is also streaming and embeddable on the official YouTube Channel, where the filmmakers will release bonus content throughout the Kickstarter campaign: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDks1H2bzbo

Time to Stand-Up to Extremist Da'Wah and Jihadism!
Reader comment on item: Denying Islam's Role in Terror: Explaining the Denial
Submitted by GK (United States), Mar 14, 2013 at 14:06
July 18th marks the nineteenth anniversary of the tragedy at Argentina's Asociación Mutual Israelita Argentina in Buenos Aires that killed 85 individuals and injured more than 100 others, For those who do not understand the threat that theological extremism poses, reflection on the horrors wrought by "martyrs" is a must.
The origins of Muhammad's anti-polytheistic, anti-Mekkan movement reflect mastery of the art of false victimization. And wherever Islam is in a minority position, extremist teachers of jihad and da'wah promote passive aggression, "media jihad", propaganda of victimization, and low level terrorism. These are tactics that worked up until Muhammad's caravan raid against his former caravan colleagues at Badr. And the tactics of deceit and terror also became Muhammad's and his companion's stock in trade as Islam grew and battled Mekka more overtly. Finally, personal retribution and persecution against backsliders and those accused of apostasy against Islam was part of Muslim history in the years after Muhammad's death.
With such historical precedents, it's clear that the extreme theologians of da'wah and jihad have so many unique tools to employ in their battle for hearts and minds. It is up to those committed to protecting peaceful, freedom-seeking innocents to find tactics for the 21st C and beyond that will effectively nullify and suppress the behaviors endorsed and endowed by proponents of violent Islamic extremism of all stripes.

HOME. Hi guys! I’m done with the “jet-setting” and back in snowy Sweden again. It’s so frustrating to have had a little taste of spring, and then get back to this nightmare of cold and snow. I’ll try to post some pictures tomorrow, meanwhile I leave you with a photo I took of the Duomo. Ciao!

Oregon Wildlife Commission Keeps Cruel Trapping Practices in Place
by faster | Jun 16, 2020 | Blog |
SOURCE: Center for Biological Diversity
SNIP: After a contentious 12-hour meeting, the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission rejected conservation proposals to adopt a uniform 24-hour trap check time for all wildlife and to ban beaver trapping on federally managed public lands.
The commission also voted 6-1 last Friday to continue the state’s existing furbearer trapping and hunting regulations for the next two years. Oregon’s trapping policies currently allow animals to languish in traps anywhere from 48 hours to 30 days, depending on how they are categorized by statute or rule.
“It’s troubling that the commission upheld Oregon’s cruel, outdated and wasteful trapping program for the benefit of just 1,000 licensed trappers in the entire state,” said Quinn Read, Oregon policy director at the Center for Biological Diversity. “This decision is completely out of step with Oregonians’ changing wildlife values. It’s time to relegate trapping to the dustbin of Oregon’s history.”
While the commission declined to adopt the conservation proposals, they voted unanimously to direct agency staff to review trap-check time requirements and identify proposals for rule changes by January 2021. The commission also supported the concept of forming a beaver working group and indicated its intent to define the roles and responsibilities of such a group at its July meeting.
The Center and its conservation allies advocated for two proposals to reform Oregon’s trapping program. The first proposal asked the commission to close federally managed public lands to commercial and recreational beaver trapping and hunting. Beavers and their dam-building activities are crucial to restoring riparian ecosystems and reducing the harms of climate change, yet beavers are still widely trapped and hunted across the state.
The second proposal asked the commission to adopt a more humane and consistent approach to trap check times by adopting a 24-hour trap-check time for all categories of native wildlife. This state’s current approach, which can leave traps unchecked for days or even weeks, imposes arbitrary suffering on different animals and is out of step with the majority of states that have adopted a daily or 24-hour trap-check requirement.
Oregon’s furbearer regulations govern the trapping of furbearers for their hides and pelts and accompanying reporting requirements. Under Oregon law furbearers include such animals as bobcats, muskrats, river otters, beavers and raccoons.
[ED NOTE: Only a sick and twisted culture that views living beings as objects would support trapping. We live in such a culture.]

What’s So Hard to Understand About ‘Fired’?
01/22/2011 Kevin Featherly Congressional Politics, Journalism, Political Satire, Presidential Politics, Security, Sports, Video 0
The rampant speculation about why Keith Olbermann has left MSNBC is baffling. He said clearly on air that he had been “told” last night was his last night. That = fired. No? Hello!
That said, the thing was handled pretty nicely on both ends. The network let him go on air to do his final show and say his goodbyes. Olbermann was measured, apparently even good-humored, and gracious sounding. The departure was kept so well hidden that the first guest on the show last night, Josh Marshall, came away stunned to find out that Olbermann was gone.
“I did not have any sense that there was anything any different than normal going on,” Marshall writes. “Everything seemed calm and pretty sedate.”
Here is the segment where Olbermann signs off:
There was a time when Olbermann’s presence on air was nothing short of thrilling. In the darkest, most dystopian days of the Bush administration circa 2006 or so, he seemed the lone major-media voice representing the “reality-based community” that Bush insiders and spinners–read: Karl Rove–overtly derided.
Even his obvious mannerisms–consciously aping Edward R. Murrow by turning his right shoulder to the camera and looking up at it as though it were 1953 and he was hosting “See It Now”–didn’t quite ruin the effect. But it did lead to suspicions that Olbermann’s ego was such that, one day, a moment like this would come.
Over time, as Olbermann increasingly threw his lot in with the flighty-est wing of the progressive movement, his schtick grew tired. I stopped being a regular viewer right around the time that Obama got elected. I feared at the time that, with a Democrat in power, he would become incorrigible, and too often, he was. It’s too bad he couldn’t pull out of that dive before it became too late. He is a broadcaster of tremendous talent.
But maybe he should go back to sports for a while.

Kuya Ross Scores Another “Yis”
NO ONE WHO has heard Bro/Kuya Ross Evardone will be satisfied with a mere earful. It is not known what strategy he infuses his speeches with, such that the first-time listener does not overdose at first sound and, therefore, wonders if there’s more to his funny one-liners, so waits for his next emergence, or if he deliberately hangs them in side-splitting suspense so that they’ll be amply rewarded for their patience at his next act.
For Rosauro Evardone, the American citizen from Italy (a private joke that reads Visayan from Samar) is an act of elocution he has effortlessly raised to an art level. Ask any PREX graduate (from the early years of the seminar to the recent Class 42 that completed the two-day course just this September) who he is and the response will be as quick as it is varied: the clown, the wit, the seminar jester, speaker par excellence or extra extraordinaire. The shot of upper at a time when it is more desirable to go down with a nap than listen to yap. Indeed, the listener sits up straight and watches him open his trap, not because the former is threatened to be thrown the cordless mike at (for the joke has lost its venom but retained the humor) but because he knows he’d be sorry if he is the only one who didn’t get the speaker’s punchline. And Kuya Ross has the uncanny knack for not only catching the latest rib-tickler (even rehashing it every so often to suit the changing times and audience) but also delivering it at a surefire moment. I have yet to hear him crack one (new, old or rehashed) that isn’t a winner.
Ergo, the Holy Spirit Parish, venue of PREX 8th Anniversary Reunion last Sunday, October 25, was packed. With graduates coming all the way from the member-vicariates of the church. All abuzz with anticipation of what’s the latest with their favorite speaker. Kuya Noel Tamase put the people in the proper perspective through an opening prayer. As in most PREX get-togethers, the inevitable action songs set the tone of this one. Eight Ates and Kuyas, led by Ate Clare Coronel, positioned themselves around the altar to effectively enjoin the throng into the action songs. A back-up choir volunteers were on the loft to augment their friend Ate Clare’s voice. The crowd did not need to be cajoled, they sang – and acted – along. Smilingly, joyously, every which way their passion could contain the fever. Which I call a happy addiction. After three sweat-inducing numbers, Ate Clare announced the name that never needed an introduction. His signature smirk was instantly all over the place. And so was the thunderous ovation that confirmed his presence.
Kuya Ross’ magic, I think, lies in his split-second recognition of opportunity when he sees it. Therefore he seizes it. Like he wasted no time in acknowledging Ate Tere (an obvious, self-confessed die-hard) who was on the front pew. And the acknowledgment, because coming from him, was typically irreverent. Which broke the ice. Not that he ever needed a breaker. When all his fans and admirers agree that just one “Yis!” is all he needs to spell-bind any audience.
He even apologized ahead should he overshoot his alloted 45 minutes, which no one really paid attention to (indirectly demanding that he get on with it, for crying out loud, and bring on the laughs) so he moved on.
He sounded pensive when he said how fast time flies. The Holy Spirit Parish PREX has reaped eight productive years and it won’t be long before the bishops start planning for another Vatican synod on the family-supported church teaching on hot-button issues. This year’s event followed the theme “The Vocation and Mission of the Family in the Church and the Modern World.” Which nailed Kuya Ross’ Talk entitled “We are Poor, We are Family.”
Filipinos, he confessed, are so used to God’s miracles that they do not mind praying a 9-day novena with fervent faith that on the 10th day, the Holy Spirit delivers. To drive home this solidarity in prayerful looking after one another, he requested everyone to srand and led them in singing “Pananagutan.”
Shifting to story-telling mood, he recalled an artist who wanted to paint the most beautiful thing in the world and so went around in search of his object. He saw a soldier and wanted to paint peace. But the soldier was on his way to war and could not be bothered to model. The artist walked on and saw in the park a pair of newly weds holding hands and kissing he wanted to paint love. But the pair was so enamored of each other he could not have the heart to intrude in their private bliss. So he continued on his way and passed by a church and saw a priest and wanted to paint faith. But the priest just finished saying Mass and was in the middle of old and young parishioners who wanted to be blessed by his company. Dejected by three attempts at bright ideas that deflected, the artist went home. Upon the sight of him, his wife and children came out of the house and rushed to him. Eyes aglow, smiles unwavering, they hugged him like a long-lost missed member and took frantic turns in saying, “Where have you been? We were worried about you? Thanks God you’re back in one piece!” It suddenly dawned on the artist that, all the while, he had always had all the elements he was looking for and longing to paint.
How often, Kuya Ross asked, do we realize that our family is right under our noses and yet take them for granted. We only have to wish for three things to be truly in happy old age: good health, a loving family and a pround longing to serve God. The riches will not even be a concern, he concluded.
Smirking a sign of another anecdote, he used Ate Malou and Kuya Noel as characters of his story. Kuya Noel was at the gates of heaven and was being questioned by St. Peter if he was present at d 8th anniversary of PREX. Yes, was the prompt reply. The clincher was for him to spell the word “love” and the piece of cake got Kuya Noel through. St. Peter had an appointment elsewhere and asked Kuya Noel to man the gates. No sooner had St. Peter gone than Ate Malou emerged at the gates. He asked her the first qualifier. Check. Then he delivered the bomb,. Spell “Czechoslovakia.” The audience roared.
Going back on his track, he asked why the poor are deemed the riches of the church and answered it himself by saying that the poor can evangelize us simply by their love for God, their only handle, whether they are in need or not. I was not surprised when his voice cracked at the part where he described the poor as a sector that no one pays attention to. Even the little that they possess is coveted and usurped. They have no voice, they are only heard when the church announces their plight. They are beggars under the sun and rain who can teach us a thing or two about being humble. He agrees that yes, we know how to give, but not how to receive with humility. Which is what makes the poor the intimate friends of Jesus, along with the outcasts and the sick.
He added the significant step to servanthood which is the ability to face up to and get near to any kind of people, especially those afflicted with infectious diseases. Here, he cited the woeful arrogance of St. Francis of Assissi who, on hoseback, saw a leprous person on his way and turned his horse back to flee. A strange force held him and horse back. He was compelled to acknowledge the leper. Who turned out to be Christ.
With that current, urgent message, Kuya Ross underscored that, “We are the poor, we own nothing and without owning up to thirst, hunger, poverty and suffering, we won’t see the face of Jesus.”
Sensitive to his audience, whom he felt to have been hit, Kuya Ross sequed to a recent symposium on faith where the speaker asked the audience if they believed we came from monkeys. No one seemed to share the belief. So the speaker concluded, “I’m glad you don’t think so. I myself doubt that very much because if it were true that we all came from monkeys, why does Vice-ganda look like a horse?”
Towards the end of his talk, Kuya Ross left the audience with this last shot. A young man dreamt he died and met St. Peter, who asked him, “What can you give for me to let you in?” The man replied, “My hands are clean.” St. Peter did not disagree and said, “Yes, but sadly, they are empty, because not dirtied by service to the poor.”
Abraham dela Torre is a self-avowed PREX addict who was one of the animators in the action songs.

On the Clock: 2019 Denver Broncos
by Ryan Lasal
Is John Elway the worst GM in football? This is a legitimate question that people should consider when looking at what the Broncos have done this off-season heading into the draft. The honest answer is, it depends on what Dave Gettleman does as a sequel to the Odell Beckham trade. That being said, Elway has made some head-scratching decisions during his nine years at the helm, especially at the quarterback position. That continued this off-season.
Denver currently has just over $11.8m in cap space, which is surprising considering the roster that has been put together. That, of course, tends to happen when you are paying two players a combined $43.6m. Von Miller is an astounding $25m cap hit this season. The Broncos are also paying Case Keenum, Brandon Marshall, and Demaryius Thomas a combined $14.5m just to go away. Replacing Keenum with Joe Flacco has added another $18m to the cap, which means the Broncos have allocated a whopping $27.8m to the QB position and only have Joe Flacco and Kevin Hogan at the position to show for it. It’s almost impressive that a former QB can be as bad at evaluating the QB position as Elway is.
Off-Season:
The Broncos had 19 players from 2018 that became free agents this offseason. To date, the team has brought back four of those players, TE Jeff Heuerman, DL Zach Kerr, QB Kevin Hogan, and LS Casey Kreiter. The team lost some high profile players including C Matt Paradis (CAR), OG Billy Turner (GB), CB Bradley Roby (HOU), OLB Shaq Barrett (TB), and ILB Brandon Marshall (OAK/LA/LV). So how have the Broncos done in filling the holes left by 15 departures from 2018? The team traded for QB Joe Flacco, and signed *checks notes* 31-year-old CB Kareem Jackson and made Ja’Wuan James the highest paid RT in the NFL. Woo-boy. Are those thoughts about Elway as a GM starting to make sense yet?
The Broncos enter the 2019 draft with eight picks, one in each round with an extra fifth-round pick. Elway needs to turn at least three of those eight picks into starters if he wants this team even to have a chance at contending in 2019 and possibly saving his job as GM. With Joe Flacco now on the roster, the Broncos can make a case for not taking a QB this year and instead of waiting for 2020 when the QB crop appears to be robust. That makes Denver a prime trade down candidate if Haskins or Lock fall to their 10th pick. Look for Miami and Cincinnati to pick up the phone if that’s the case. Elway would be wise to take any offer he can for 10 and stockpile picks. If the Broncos stay at 10, look for them to add a weapon on the offensive side of the ball in the form of TE TJ Hockenson or WR DK Metcalf.
The 10th pick is also a prime spot to try and replace Brandon Marshall as LB Devon Bush should still be available there. Moving further into the draft, the Broncos have to find a way to add offensive weapons at both the TE and WR positions. The offensive line should be a priority as well, specifically at the interior offensive line positions. On the defensive side of the ball, the safety position needs attention. Ultimately though, there are too many holes and not enough picks for Elway to plug them all.

walgreens card coming?
Walgreen working on store changes
By Jessica Wohl
CHICAGO (Reuters) - Walgreen Co (WAG.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz), under pressure to define its strategy after a failed acquisition bid, is working on changes to its drugstore format and has hired consultants Booz Allen Hamilton, the company told Reuters on Tuesday.
Booz Allen consultants have been working at the company's Deerfield, Illinois headquarters, a Walgreen spokesman said. He declined to discuss details, but said the company would unveil plans to improve store operations during an October 30 analyst day.
The company said on Tuesday it would buy McKesson Corp.'s (MKC.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) specialty pharmacy business for an undisclosed sum, a move that helps expand its health services into areas such as oncology, multiple sclerosis and reproductive health.
Walgreen could also introduce a loyalty card, spruce up its stores or do more to promote its lower-priced generic plan to help boost traffic and sales as rival CVS Caremark (CVS.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) ratchets up competition, analysts said.
CVS has raised the stakes for Walgreen with its entry into pharmacy benefits in March 2007, when it bought Caremark. Just this month, CVS won out over Walgreen in its acquisition of Longs Drug Stores Corp (LDG.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz).
Walgreen Chief Executive Jeffrey Rein abruptly left the company on October 10, two days after it withdrew an unsolicited bid that was repeatedly rebuffed by Longs.
Edward Jones analyst Stephanie Hoff, who has a buy rating on Walgreen, wants the company to say how it will navigate a current slowdown in prescription trends, drive traffic into its stores and keep an eye on costs.
"What we'd like to hear is really just a focus on better blocking and tackling," she said. "If they could address those issues, and address them compellingly, I think there's a lot of room for the stock to move higher."
Walgreen unexpectedly posted its first quarterly profit decline in almost 10 years last October and has since tried to address investor concerns more directly, planning its first major analyst meeting for the end of this month.
"We will be talking about our store plans and changes we're looking at making," the Walgreen spokesman said of the October 30 meeting.
Meanwhile, the pharmacy industry as a whole is grappling with Wal-Mart Stores Inc (WMT.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) and others offering cheap generic drugs and in-store health services. An economic slowdown has U.S. consumers filling fewer prescriptions to save money.
Walgreen shares have shed about 35 percent since the start of the year, compared with a 27 percent drop for CVS.
MARKETING MOVES
Among other changes, Walgreen added a chief marketing officer, Kim Feil, in late September. She is among those slated to speak at the upcoming meeting. Alan McNally was named chairman and acting CEO and the company's board is looking internally and externally for a permanent CEO.
Some say Walgreen could give details of a loyalty card, a plan it has been considering.
Rival CVS has had a loyalty program for years and outlined its vision for providing health services for some time.
CVS's purchase of Caremark highlighted its strategic direction, while the strategies at Walgreen and smaller player Rite Aid Corp (RAD.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) are less clear, said Sarah Henry, an analyst at Sovereign Asset Management, which owns CVS shares.
"I think with Walgreen and Rite Aid it's becoming more and more evident that the business is a mature business and it's consolidating quickly, so there's a lot of opportunity for both companies," Henry said.
Henry said she wants to hear the potential uses of Walgreen's capital since it has cut back on store openings.
"I don't think they need to come out with a big shocking, reinventing-the-wheel thing," Henry said. "'What are they going to do with the cash flow that's not going to organic store growth' is the question, even in the near term or the intermediate term."
AN OUTSIDE CEO?
Walgreen is known to name CEOs from within the company, and President and Chief Operating Officer Greg Wasson is seen by many as a front-runner. However, Walgreen may have to pick an outside candidate to show it is willing to shake things up.
"There's a little risk to it, of course, because this has always been a company that has promoted the CEO from within and the CEO has always been a pharmacist, so there could be some cultural effects, negative effects, of bringing in somebody from the outside," said Hoff. "But I think on a net basis it probably would be smarter for them to do that."
Shares of Walgreen slipped 9 cents to $24.53 amid a broad market decline after rising as much as 2 percent earlier in the session.

Excellon must stop bullying Mexican landowners
12 July, 2012IndustriALL Global Union has today called on the Canadian mining company Excellon Resources Inc. to stop threatening Mexican landowners and to sit down instead with their representatives to resolve a long-standing conflict over land use.
Earlier this week over seventy landowners, many of whom are employed in the mine, blockaded La Platosa mine in Durango after management backed out of long-awaited and hard-won negotiations aimed at resolving violations of a land rental agreement signed in 2008.
Excellon yesterday announced it was bringing criminal charges against the protesters and was pursuing them for damages. In addition, calls by the company for the government to put an end to the peaceful blockade have prompted fears for the safety of the protesters.
The landowners’ demands include a fair rental price and the building of a treatment plant to make water extracted from the mine suitable for agriculture in the drought-ridden region.
The company has lately come under increasing scrutiny as a result of its violations of labour standards and its failure to respect the rights of the community which owns the land. In May, a complaint was lodged on behalf of workers and landowners with the Canadian National Contact Point alleging violations of the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises. Last week, an international observer team reported on a number of irregularities at the union elections at the mine.
IndustriALL has written to the Mexican authorities seeking assurances that no force will be used against landowners and their supporters.
The global union has also called on Excellon to cease its anti-union practices, to respect the right of workers to form unions of their own choosing without interference, and to reinstate union leaders dismissed in violation of international standards on freedom of association.
Please help support Mexican landowners demanding a fair deal from mining multinational by writing to Excellon and the Mexican government. Below are the contact details for sending your letters of protest.

FODEN NOT GUARANTEED EURO SPOT
November 27th, 2020 | Author: Justin
Manchester City midfielder Phil Foden is not a certainty for the England squad ahead of the European Championships next summer according to former Three Lions player Paul Merson. Ex-Arsenal and Aston Villa midfielder Paul Merson has been a pundit since he retired from football. He talked about Phil Foden and his England career in his column with the Daily Star.
Phil Foden is the latest name on the lips of many England fans after his display against Iceland on Wednesday night. The young midfielder was the best player at the Wembley Stadium as the Three Lions beat their opponents comprehensively. He scored two goals and also provided an assist to lead his country to a 4-0 win in the Three Lions’ final game in the UEFA Nations League group stage.
Phil Foden provided the assist for the opening goal scored by Declan Rice who plays for West Ham United in the Premier League. The 20th minute headed goal from Rice means that he’s the first player to score for England in 90 years after the player had played for another nation. Douglas Hodgson is the last player to achieve feat in 1930. Declan Rice previously represented the Republic of Ireland in a friendly.
Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount added a second England goal four minutes later. The Three Lions didn’t score again until the last ten minutes when Phil Foden scored twice. By then Iceland had been reduced to ten men after BirkirSaevarsson was sent off at the start of the second half.
Paul Merson believes that Phil Foden will struggle to make the 23-man England squad for the European Championships next summer if he does not play regular football. According to him, Aston Villa skipper Jack Grealish and the aforementioned Mason Mount are ahead of him in the midfield pecking order.

Edelstein Family Photographs Rauh Jewish Archives at the Heinz History Center
The first Jewish residents of present-day Nanty Glo arrived at the end of the 19th century, when coal deposits were attracting miners to Cambria County several decades before the borough was incorporated, Abraham Donofsky came to the area about 1890 to sell blasting powder to the mines. As the town grew, he opened a furniture store that later became a general store, according to an oral history of his grandson, Allan Zeman.
The Jewish population of Nanty Glo peaked in the 1920s at approximately 45 people, according to the American Jewish Yearbook. The Jewish community never chartered a congregation and never built synagogue. Families usually prayed in private homes. For the High Holidays, they would rent rooms at the local Moose lodge and hire a cantor from nearby Altoona, who would also come to the town when needed to tutor bar mitzvah students. As early as 1925, a Mother’s Club in Nanty Glo was overseeing a branch of the Southwestern District of Pittsburgh Jewish Religious Schools program. The students were regularly confirmed at Rodef Sholom Congregation in Johnstown.
The Jewish community of Nanty Glo was dependent on the larger community in Johnstown for some religious goods and services. For many years, families who kept kosher patronized a butcher in Johnstown. When the butcher closed, those families had to travel all the way to Pittsburgh to buy meat. Along with the nearby towns of Barnesboro, Portage and Windber, Nanty Glo was under the umbrella of the United Jewish Appeal and Jewish Community Council of Johnstown, which was created in 1938.
The Jewish population of Nanty Glo remained small but stable through the beginning of World War II. In the years following the war, the Jewish community shrank as the overall population of the borough declined. At various points between the 1920s and the 1940s, Nanty Glo had at least three Jewish-owned department stores: Donofsky’s, Edelstein’s and Levinson’s. In 1921, a Jewish immigrant from Kiev named Herman Sedloff began to publish the Nanty Glo Journal, which he oversaw until his retirement in 1962, according to a profile by Nanty Glo native Francis “Frank” Charney. Some other Jewish families in Nanty Glo from those years include Aaron, Berkowitz and Newman.

News / The Cruise Examiner
Seadream Announces New Ship – Other Cruise News: Dublin To Cut Cruise Ship Calls In Half – Viking Sky Escapes Harm
by Kevin Griffin
Last week saw the announcement of the name SeaDream Innovation as the line’s third yacht, and first expedition yacht. Able to travel the globe, she is for delivery in 2021. Elsewhere, Dublin surprised the whole world when it announced that it was going to cut the number of cruise calls at its port in half, in favour of cargo. And finally, Viking Cruises’ Viking Sky managed to escape a more serious fate when she managed top recover power on the night of Saturday and Sunday off the west coast of Norway.
THIS WEEK’S STORY
SeaDream Announces New Ship
Last week came news that Damen and Mariotti were not working together on the two new Seabourn ships, having decided in February to end their short-lived cruise partnership.
SeaDream Yacht Club to Introduce Global Yachting with a New Luxury Yacht, to Be Named SeaDream Innovation
Last Wednesday, we learned that Damen Shipyards’ first cruise ship contract was for an innovative 220-berth Polar Class 6 expedition cruise yacht for SeaDream Yacht Club. She will be named SeaDream Innovation.
SeaDream last week featured the news in a circular from Atle Brynestad, the line’s founder and owner, to its trade partners: “As you know, for over fifteen years, SeaDream has redefined the concept of luxury cruising. Giving guests the opportunity to help discover intimate ports, find centre through our wellness programs, indulge in the finest of foods, and provide an escape in the most lavish of settings. It’s never been just a cruise. It’s yachting.”
“Today we are excited to tell you about a new era in your luxury travel experience – Global Yachting. Global Yachting is the casual elegance known with SeaDream but enjoying this decadent experience while exploring the four corners of the globe. Today we announce that SeaDream will add over 200 ports to its list of intimate and exotic destinations. These include stops in Europe, Asia, the polar regions, and everywhere in between. “
“As you might imagine, this type of exploration requires a yacht that can envelop your clients in a luxurious setting while taking them to the far reaches of the world. In September of 2021, our passion for your experience will find a new home as we launch our third yacht, SeaDream Innovation.”
OTHER CRUISE NEWS
Dublin To Cut Cruise Ship Calls In Half
The Dublin Port Company has recently announced plans to restrict the number of annual cruise ship calls to the Irish city to 80 from 2021 – half as many as the 160 that called in 2018.
As part of the restrictions, only two large vessels per week will be allowed during the summer season and one per week in the winter, while turnarounds will be abolished.

Dublin Port Company said the plan would create a “better balance” its allocation of ship berths due to “huge growth” in cargo volume in recent years and the need to pay for infrastructure works. The port also cited the need to create space for cargo shipping due to Brexit.
CLIA, the Cruise Lines International Association, said ending turnarounds would remove 120 calls and 100,000 passengers annually from the port. More than 160 ship calls will take place this year, while 140 are currently scheduled for 2020.
Cruise & Maritime Voyages, with 13 planned calls, and Holland America Group, with 12, said they were reviewing the situation regarding their Dublin capacity.
Celebrity Cruises, the first line to home port in Dublin in 2017, said, “[We] urge them to look again at the huge benefits cruises bring to the Irish capital. Regardless of the outcome, we remain committed to the Irish market and to our Irish travel partners and guests.”
David Dingle, Carnival UK chair and CLIA Europe executive committee member, said the decision “came out of the blue”, believing its cause was “more intricate than simply Brexit. It feels like a lose-lose for them and we need to get around the table with the authorities and stakeholders to dig down into the economic reasons,” he said. “Cruise calls into Ireland have grown rapidly so it’s a real pity, and we can’t have a fragmented response as a cruise industry.”
Dublin Port Company said: “If Dublin Port is to cater for large numbers of cruise ships in the future, new berths will have to be constructed at North Wall Quay Extension, adjacent to the Tom Clark Bridge. This will require co-financing and/ or long-term financial guarantees from cruise lines.”
Viking Sky Escapes Harm
Viking Cruises’ 749-foot Viking Sky had hundreds of its passengers airlifted to safety over the weekend and has now been towed into the port of Molde in Norway. The ships had lost all its engines and been in danger of running onto the rocks on the Norwegian coast, narrowly escaping what could have been a much more serious situation.
About 900 passengers and crew were still onboard the Viking Sky when it arrived at Molde on Sunday afternoon. Five helicopters had earlier winched 479 people to safety as huge waves tossed the ship around. Twenty people were treated for injuries including broken bones, cuts and bruises, rescuers said.

Social media footage showed chairs, large pot plants and other furniture on the ship rolling across the floor and crashing into walls. Parts of the ceiling were falling down on to passengers as the ship yawed heavily. Windows were broken in one part of the ship and cold water poured over their feet.
The cruise liner was only 100 metres away from striking rocks in shallow waters when it finally managed to turn.
“It was very nearly a disaster. The ship drifted to within 100 metres of running aground before they were able to restart one of the engines,” police chief Hans Vik, who heads the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre for southern Norway, told TV2. “If they had run aground we would have faced a major disaster.”
The ship had started struggling with engine problems in bad weather off Norway’s west coast on Saturday afternoon, in an area known for rough, unpredictable waters. It reportedly issued a mayday call when it started drifting towards the rocky shore. Police said the crew managed to anchor off the coast near the town of Ålesund.
The evacuations took place in very difficult conditions. Norwegian media reported gusts of up to 38 knots and waves over eight metres in an area known for its rough, frigid waters.
The Norwegian public broadcaster NRK said the Viking Sky’s evacuation was a slow and dangerous process, as passengers needed to be hoisted one by one from the cruise ship to the five available helicopters.
Viking Cruises’ chairman, Torstein Hagen, told the Norwegian newspaper VG the events were “some of the worst I have been involved in, but now it looks like it’s going well in the end and that we’ve been lucky”.

Home GENERAL NEWS opinions More thefts will come out – Kalaba
More thefts will come out – Kalaba
HARRY KALABA
HARRY Kalaba has observed that junior officers in the PF government are now “implementing” the “uubomba mwibala, alya mwibala” remark by president Edgar Lungu. And Kalaba says revelations of corruption and theft in the government are not over, saying “much more will come out”.
Following an abuse of US$4 million donor funds meant for social cash transfer, President Lungu fired community development minister Emerine Kabanshi over a week ago. Commenting on the misappropriation of the funds from the Department for International Development (DfID), Kalaba, a Bahati PF member of parliament, asserted that corruption could not be fought selectively.
“If we are fighting this scourge, it cannot be fought in a selective manner. [But] it must be done in such a manner that all those that have been found in the firing lane should be dealt with. For me, the fight [against corruption] has been cosmetic because just getting rid of the Minister [of Community Development] is very simplistic! Is it a confirmation that is it the minister who was dealing with all the money alone? No! Is it McPherspon Chanda the one who has been sacrificed as having misappropriated resource? I don’t think so! We need to go to the bottom of this matter,” Kalaba said when he featured on Millennium radio’s People’s Debate programme on Friday.
He regretted that accountability levels, especially in government, were dwindling.
“People now don’t care whether money is spent appropriately or not because they have seen politicians betraying the very rules they should follow. They have seen that financial regulations, after all, don’t even matter; people can do whatever they want to do and they can get away with it. We have seen this now becoming a trend. The propensity by leaders, politicians to break the rules of the game is quite high…So, when you find other junior officers following suit…you are the ones who told them that you can do as you want, except you don’t have to eat everything. You told them that! So, when they start doing that, don’t get surprised because you told them [that] uubomba mwibala alya mwibala and they start implementing what you have been advocating for and you begin crying wolf! We need to be serious as leaders,” Kalaba said, recalling President Lungu’s proverbial remarks to ruling party members at a fundraising dinner for the construction of a PF convention centre in Kitwe on February 10 that “uubomba mwibala, alya mwibala, tabatila kulya nembuto kumo (meaning loosely, you are free to ‘derive’ benefits from government resources but do not finish everything).”
He said Zambia was built on a very firm foundation of peace and tranquility.
“Accountability has been the hallmark of this country. But now you find that those given the authority to preside over the affairs of our country have taken it upon themselves to betray the people that they should never have betrayed. If leaders are doing it, it begins following [and] that is how the rule of law is undermined. That is why today you find that even PF cadres are in the forefront doing all kind of things – they can issue any statement because things have just collapsed. The police are even afraid of PF cadres [and] that is why I keep on saying that we need order in this country so that people can stick to their lanes,” Kalaba said.
And Kalaba pointed out that the social cash transfer was “a very serious issue” and that abuse of funds meant for social safety net was “a very sad development for Zambia.”
“A dark cloud has descended over this country as a result of the misapplication of those resources. I don’t even know how we are going to correct our image because to have countries like Sweden that have always given us balance of payment support withdraw their support is very sad. To have countries like the UK withdraw their support, to have countries like Finland; those are countries that have been supporting, hugely, our social sectors. Yes, the UK has not stopped supporting government totally or Zambia totally. [But] they have stopped giving government money [and] they are now giving money to the NGOs. That is a huge indictment on the PF government, it is a huge negation by government and it is something that is very sad,” Kalaba, a former foreign affairs minister, said.
Asked if he felt vindicated about corruption in the PF government, Kalaba answered: “Yes.”
“When I resigned on 2nd January this year, you saw how there was hullaballoo – hell broke loose! ‘Kalaba has resigned because of A,B,C,D; he should get out of our party because he has said there is corruption’. I want to see those who were standing on the anthill saying ‘Kalaba, there is no corruption. Can you point at who is corrupt’. You don’t have to point at anybody and I told people that time is a great equaliser of things and time has vindicated me. By the way, this is not the end; much more will come out. As I told you, I’m bound by the issues of collective responsibility. I mean, I swore that I’m going to keep the oath of allegiance as well as the oath of secrecy. So, there are issues that I can’t talk about,” said Kalaba.

STATEMENT FROM NORD FAMILY FOUNDATION ON RACIAL INJUSTICE
Like many of you, we are grieving. While the tragic deaths of George Floyd and Ahmaud Arbery have been very visible in the media, we know that, unfortunately, racism is not a new issue in our country, nor are these isolated incidents. We are hopeful that the collective attention being given to institutional and interpersonal racism at this time will result in a future where justice for all is a reality for everyone in our nation.
All of us at the Nord Family Foundation join our brothers and sisters around the world who are committed to peacefully and strategically dismantling racism in all of its insidious forms. For us, this means continuing the work we do in many areas that have systemic racism as their root cause and disproportionately impact people of color. This includes working to address health and education inequities, food and housing insecurity, and more. We will continue to intentionally and strategically do this work as a major part of our commitment to strengthening communities that are impacted by racism, poverty, and other inequities.
At our upcoming Board meeting, we will also be discussing how we can work with more intentionality to dismantle racism, be better allies to those who face racial discrimination, and further promote anti-racist work and leadership through our philanthropy.
To our grantee partners who are active in this work and have been for years, we sincerely thank you. We are honored to stand behind you as a partner and look forward to continuing this essential relationship as we listen, learn, grow and participate during this transformational period in our country’s history.

Beltane Network and the Cabaret of Dangerous Ideas
At the Cabaret of Dangerous Ideas, the questions the researchers ask would probably surprise you. Could skin cancer actually predict a longer life on average, as an indicator of an active, outdoor lifestyle? If we want to revitalize a city, should we actually be knocking down the older, affluent neighbourhoods, rather than the deprived ones? Is banning child labour actually disempowering our children?
These counterintuitive questions set the tone for an unusual research event that dares its audience to think about perplexing ideas, and in doing so challenges their assumptions about research and society. In each hour-long show, two to three researchers lead discussions about controversial ideas, on which even they themselves might not agree! Edinburgh comedian Susan Morrison serves as the lively host, bringing the entertainment factor and keeping the atmosphere curious, questioning, and open for discussion.
The comedic Susan Morrison (left image, centre) keeps the researchers audience entertained.
The Cabaret was co-developed in 2013 by the Beltane Public Engagement Network, Morrison, and the arts production company Fair Pley. Since then, it has welcomed thousands to its Edinburgh Fringe Festival sessions. Although centred around a presentation-discussion format, the show still offers lessons for building the relationships necessary for Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI). “It is about listening and respecting others,” says Heather Rea, project lead of the Beltane Public Engagement Network, “and there is something about being informal and using humour that can build trust and connections.” Rea says it’s not only the audience who walks away thinking differently, but the researchers as well. “Some of them are amazed at how nuanced an understanding people have of their area, and the interest that’s involved.”
The Beltane Team takes a pause at the busy Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Heather Rea, left, and Sarah Anderson, right.
Rea and Sarah Anderson, the Beltane project officer who co-founded CoDI, are not only skilled in juggling different audiences, but different institutional cultures as well. Beltane Network is a public engagement hub that supports engagement training, events and programmes across four universities in Edinburgh, UK. Bringing this experience to the NUCLEUS project, they have already coordinated two of the NUCLEUS Field Trips that scoped out barriers and opportunities for RRI related to universities and policymaking. In the upcoming phase of the project, their next role will be as a mentor to four of the Embedded Nuclei test beds which will implement strategies to embed RRI in their cultures.
When asked what motivates them in her work, Rea says it is the chance to share what she has learned through Beltane’s experiences and activities. “Because we’ve been through this process and learned so much about the culture change process, I’m really interested in applying that in different contexts, and helping people to use the learnings that we’ve had going forward”. For Anderson, the mutual learning amongst the consortium is also an important aspect. “In my job, I tend to be busy with the practical work and don’t often get a chance to reflect,” she says. “Taking part in a project like NUCLEUS is an opportunity to take a more objective view of how Beltane embodies RRI in its work, to make sense of it using academic theory, and to learn how this translates – or doesn’t – into other cultural contexts.”
For more information about the Cabaret of Dangerous Ideas, check out its 2017 schedule or follow online @CODIfringe.
Note: Beltane is represented legally in the NUCLEUS consortium by the University of Edinburgh, but is supported and facilitates work amongst four institutions: University of Edinburgh, Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh Napier University and Queen Margaret University.

In Remembrance of Sham
Today, the soul of a rising star was buried. I never had the fortune to meet Sham myself, but I have been touched by those who knew him. After attending his vigil last week, I felt moved to share what I experienced there, to give some of what he offered to all of those whom we knew. This is for you, Sham, and for the light you give everyone, even now.
A Man I Was About to Know: A Soliloquy
by Ria T. DiLullo
dedicated to Shamsuddin Abdul Hamid
(1) It was a few weeks ago, I was told,
"You gotta meet Sham! He's the best I'll know."
"Invite him to the reading," I replied.
"I am always excited to meet a
(5) Talent and friend who inspires you so!"
Not much what said on the matter, until
A chilled morning, clear and bright, I saw a
Look that overtook the brow on B's face.
He breathed before looking at me, glassy.
(10) "Sham... I can't believe it. My friend? He's dead."
I was about to know Sham, on his way
To becoming a man and an artist.
Instead, I rode with a friend from the past,
A love I hope to have for life, and one
(15) Other compatriot I did not know.
We rode, the four of us alive to drive
To respect a life no longer living,
To celebrate the light left behind them.
Upon approaching the vigil for Sham,
(20) It became clear to me that the grief
Gathered here was different.
So many souls joined together outside
Of a high school in New Jersey, the sky
Dark and the air cold. Many people spoke,
(25) But as the stories began to unfold,
Even I, an outsider, could begin
To piece together who this person was.
Here are some of the things I can tell you
Of this young man I was about to know:
(30) His full name: Shamsuddin Abdul Hamid.
Most people called him Sham. His presence could
Plant a smile on anyone's face. He
Was a Muslim, but loved all houses of
God, happy to pray and participate
(35) In many denominations. "Sham knew
Jesus!", was said to the heavens with a
Lifted chest by many of the speakers.
He grew up in New Jersey, raised by a
Single mom who runs a beauty parlour.
(40) It was there that Sham learned to listen and
Digest how different people tell stories.
Sham was a tour du force on stage and screen.
He would have been the envy of his class,
Except that his brightness was infectious.
(45) Everyone wanted the best for Sham. It
Was clear that those who met him wanted him
To succeed. And he was well on his way.
Sham was not just known to those who knew him;
He was famous in his community
(50) For both his talent and integrity.
Even as the moments making up the
Vigil passed, the people gathered wanted
To stay together. Sham was alive then,
Again, because his spirit embodies
(55) All whom he touched. Even in his absence,
Even as someone who never met Sham,
I can feel what he offered freely to
Those who spent time with him. I smile at
The thought of him, at the knowledge of the
(60) Heart I know he had. Sham, you will be missed.
It would have been an honor to meet you.
At least I can say, I almost knew you.

Seeking an Absolute Pardon for Byron Case: Part 3
This is the third and final post in which I present the Amicus letter I sent to Missouri Governor Jay Nixon in support of an absolute pardon for Byron Case. In Part 1, I provided an overview of the crime. In Part 2, I discussed how time-of-death considerations based on witness testimony exclude Bryon Case as the person who murdered Anastasia Witbolsfeugen. In this post, I will discuss how the postmortem medical considerations prove Byron Case to be factually innocent and wrongfully incarcerated.
Time-of-Death as per Skin Temperature
The field investigator for the Medical Examiner's office arrived at Anastasia's murder scene at 5:05 AM. Had he troubled himself to measure the body's core temperature, he would have found her core temperature to be around 92 oF if she had died near midnight, and around 81 oF if she had died near the end of nautical twilight. In other words, we wouldn't be discussing this issue today.
Unfortunately, no one at any point measured Anastasia's body temperature. One of the best established time-of-death estimates (for recently deceased bodies) was thereby lost to the State forever. The only body temperature evidence preserved was an observation made by the diligent Deputy Epperson. From his report, in which he refers to himself as "the R/D", I offer the following:
The R/D observed the victims skin to be bluish gray and cool to the touch, and the victims eyes to be open wide.
In one sentence, Deputy Epperson managed to preserve three time-of-death markers, if only crudely. I'll discuss the skin temperature marker in this subsection and discuss the other markers later.
Skin temperature is not generally used as a time-of-death marker, though it could be. As would be expected, actual skin temperature measurements of cadavers in controlled environments show that the exposed skin temperature drops far more rapidly than does the body's core temperature. The outside of a warm object cools down much faster than the inside.
Below I provide one set of measured post-mortem body temperatures. In the case presented, the person died of natural causes in a hospital setting. Core and forehead temperature measurements began at 3 hours postmortem and continued until 20 hours postmortem. For the first 3.5 hours, the body was left at room temperature, after which time it was moved to colder conditions, presumably the morgue. From the core temperature curve, it appears as if the person's core temperature was approximately 95 degF shortly before death. The skin temperature would have been slightly lower at that point.
What is important to our understanding of Anastasia's time-of-death is that the exposed skin temperature dropped rapidly after death. In the sample above, the skin temperature dropped by approximately 12 degrees after three and a half hours, even though the body had been kept in warm conditions for most of that time. After eight hours, the skin temperature dropped by approximately 25 degrees.
Anastasia's skin temperature would have dropped more rapidly than in the example above, since the ambient air temperature in Independence on that day was near 52 degF from 7 PM onwards. Had Anastasia died near midnight, her exposed skin temperature would been at least 12 degrees cooler than normal. Had she died near the end of nautical twilight, her skin temperature would have been at least 25 degrees colder than usual.
Deputy Epperson did not measure her skin temperature. He made only a subjective assessment. He described her skin temperature as "cool." He did not describe her skin temperature as "cold."
Humans are actually pretty good at detecting, by touch alone, abnormal skin temperatures. If a child has a fever with a temperature only 6 degrees above normal, a parent who touches the child's forehead is apt to describe the child as "burning up." If a friend touches the skin of a person who has been exposed to the cold outside air for any length of time, the friend is apt to describe the person as "freezing."
The argument in Anastasia's case is simple, and while not compelling, it is mildly persuasive. Had Anastasia been killed before the end of nautical twilight, her body would have been exposed to 52 degree air for more than 8.5 hours by the time Deputy Epperson discovered it. Her skin temperature would have by then dropped well within 10 degrees of the ambient temperature. It's unlikely that anyone who touched the skin would describe it as "cool."
Given that Deputy Epperson described Anastasia's skin as "cool", and given the subjective nature of that observation, Anastasia's skin temperature at the time of her discovery places her time of death more likely near midnight than near sunset.
Time-of-Death as per Skin Coloration
When the heart ceases to function, the blood begins to slowly flow from the uppermost to the lowermost portions of the body. The earliest manifestation of this phenomenon is pallor mortis, from the Latin for paleness after death. Soon after death, the uppermost portions of light-skinned individuals, such as Anastasia, will become pale. The onset of pallor mortis is so quick that pallor mortis is generally not useful as a time-of-death indicator.
A later manifestation of gravitational blood settling is livor mortis, from the Latin for blueness of death. As the blood pools at the lowermost portions of the body, those portions turn dark blue or purple. Nominally, livor mortis will become noticeable 2 to 4 hours after death. It will become fully fixed sometime after 8 hours postmortem. Livor mortis is deemed to be fixed when the skin will not blanch in response to a finger press.
Anastasia laid on her back from the time she was killed at least until the time she was transported from the scene. It's likely she remained on her back even after transport. During that time, the front of her body (including her face) tended to become more pale, while the back of her body tended to become dark blue or purple.
When Deputy Epperson discovered her body at 3:44 AM, he made an interesting observation about her skin color. "The R/D observed the victims skin to be bluish gray ..." The fact that Anastasia's skin was not by then pale suggests that she was killed not long before she was discovered.
The investigator from the medical examiner's office arrived at 5:05 AM. He allowed the body to be transported at 6:15 AM. In his astoundingly brief report, he addressed the state of Anastasia's livor mortis only to note he did not check it. "The body is fully dressed and post mortem lividity is not assessable." Once again, had he checked the state of Anastasia's livor mortis and had it not yet been noticeable, we would not be discussing the issue today.
Anastasia's autopsy began at 9:30 AM. Dr. Thomas Young assessed the state of her livor mortis thus: "Livor mortis is faint and posterior, mostly in the buttocks and legs. Livor mortis is mostly fixed but focally blanching." Even 9.5 hours after midnight, 14 hours after the end of nautical twilight, Anastasia's livor mortis was not fully fixed.
Anastasia's post mortem skin coloring places her time of death more likely near midnight than near sunset.
Time-of-Death as per Rigor Mortis
The term rigor mortis is from the Latin for stiffness of death. After death, the muscles begin to stiffen. The stiffness becomes noticeable first in the smallest muscles and last in the largest muscles. Because of the muscular organization of the human body, rigor mortis tends to proceed from head to toe. The eyelids and jaws stiffen first, then the neck, arms, torso, and finally the legs.
The ME investigator recorded the state of Anastasia's rigor as "2+". The investigator has since died, and no one else involved in the case seems to know the precise meaning of "2+". Dr. Young himself explained, in an email exchange, that he interpreted "2+" to mean that her rigor was "moderately formed and not fully developed". Dr. Chase Blanchard, who testified in place of Dr. Young, offered the following thoughts during her deposition:
That means that's very subjective. I don't even know what the top number is that he is referring to, whether it's three plus or ten plus. To me that means there is some rigor mortis that he can appreciate.
Both doctors make clear that Anastasia's rigor was not complete when the ME examined her soon after 5:05 AM. Anastasia's rigor was fixed when Dr. Young began the autopsy at 9:30 AM.
I find only one study documenting the onset timing of rigor mortis. Amazingly, that study dates back to 1872. Dr. P. F. Niderkorn then made hourly observations of 114 bodies from their time-of-death to the time when rigor was fully developed. I repeat Niderkorn's data below in both tabular and plotted form.
2 hours since death: 2 cases in which rigor was complete
3 hours: 14 cases
4 hours: 31
8 hours: 7
10 hours: 7
12 hours: 1 case
13 hours since death: 2 cases in which rigor was complete
Niderkorn's data indicate that it is highly unlikely Anastasia was killed before the end of nautical twilight the previous day. That would be 9.5 hours prior to the beginning of the ME investigator's on-scene examination. Referring to the curve fit of Niderkorn's data, rigor would have by then been fully fixed in 94% of all cases in which rigor was fully fixed.
In other words, even if Anastasia's rigor had been more advanced than it was, there would be only a 6% chance she died prior to the end of nautical twilight, based on rigor mortis calculations alone. On the other hand, even if Anastasia's rigor had been more advanced than it was, there would still be more than a 55% chance that she died sometime after midnight.
The state of Anastasia's rigor indicates that Anastasia probably died close to midnight.
Time-of-Death as per Corneal Clarity
Anastasia died with her eyes open and her corneas clear. Together, those two observations establish that she was probably killed near midnight. Allow me to explain.
Recall that Anastasia's eyes were open when her body was discovered by Deputy Epperson.
Her corneas must have been clear when Epperson discovered her because her corneas were clear still when examined by Dr. Young during her autopsy.
The body was brought to the morgue fully clothed and in a white tarp. ... Rigor mortis is well developed and generalized. Livor mortis is mostly fixed, but focally blanching. The corneas are clear.
After death, the eyes begin to dry and to undergo autolysis. Autolysis is from the Greek for self splitting. The word refers to the process of an organ consuming itself via its own enzymes.
Within minutes, these natural assaults on the eyes cause a thin film to appear over the cornea. Hours or days later, the corneas will become cloudy, then opaque. The rate at which these changes occur depends on multiple factors, including the position of the eyelids. If the eyes remain open after death, the corneas cloud quite rapidly, within a few hours. If the eyes are closed postmortem, then the corneas may remain clear for several days.
Multiple authoritative sources claim that corneas cloud over within 3 hours of death if the eyes remain open, and within 24 hours of death if the eyes are closed. One of the more prominent authorities on the matter is "renowned pathologist" Dr. Michael Baden. I presented just above two clips from one of his presentations.
From Forensic Pathology of Trauma: Common Problems for the Pathologist by Michael J. Shkrum and David A. Ramsey, we find:
Another eye change is corneal clouding. It occurs 2 to 3 h after death, if the eyes are open, and by 24 h if they are shut.
From Spitz and Fisher’s Medicolegal Investigation of Death: Guidelines for the Application of Pathology to Crime Investigation by Werner U. Spitz, we find:
When the eyes remain open, a thin film may be observed within minutes on the corneal surface, and within two or three hours corneal cloudiness develops. If the eyes are closed, the appearance of the corneal film may be delayed by hours and that of corneal cloudiness by twenty-four hours or longer.
I have continued researching this subject since completing my book on Byron's case, and have since discovered two studies that provide additional insight.
Wroblewski and Ellis wrote of 300 postmortem eye examinations in their 1970 work "Eye Changes after Death." They reported that only 74% of the corneas they examined were cloudy after 36 hours. They noted also that some corneas clouded over within one half-hour postmortem. Also, 48% of the corneas they examined between 1.5 and 2 hours of death were cloudy. Finally, they reported that onset of corneal cloudiness could be delayed by keeping the eyes artificially moist.
BK Prasad wrote of 150 postmortem eye examinations in his 2003 work "Post-mortem Ocular Changes." He reported that all examinations took place more than 4 hours postmortem, and that in only 10 cases were the corneas not cloudy.
In neither study did the authors distinguish between eyes-open and eyes-closed subjects.
The weight of the scientific evidence is that corneas cloud over quickly if the eyes remain open after death, and cloud over much more slowly if the eyes are closed (or presumably otherwise protected). In Anastasia's case, it seems as if her corneas were clear upon discovery because she had been killed near or after midnight, and her corneas were clear at autopsy because her body had been wrapped in a tarp.
If Anastasia had been killed before the end of nautical twilight, she would have had to lie there for more than eight hours with her eyes "open wide" before being discovered. It is exceptionally unlikely, in that case, that her corneas would have been clear upon discovery. Recall that Wroblewski and Ellis found that 48% of the corneas they examined within only 1.5 and 2 hours of death were already cloudy. Some of those eyes may have been closed; most were probably open. Recall also that Prasad found cloudy corneas in 93% of his examinations, since all of his subjects had been dead for 4 hours or more.
Anastasia's open eyes and clear corneas therefore establish her time of death as probably near midnight.
Time-of-Death as per the Date of Death
The investigator for the ME's office filled out report form and narrative describing his on-scene examination of Anastasia's body. In that form, he entered "10/23/97" as the Date of Injury. That would be the same day that Deputy Epperson discovered the body. Quite simply, the ME investigator filed a formal report stating that Anastasia WitbolsFeugen was injured on the same day she was discovered. That would be after midnight.
There is no reasonable possibility that when the ME investigator entered 10/23/97 in the Date of Injury field, he was merely describing the day the body was discovered. There was a separate field for the discovery date. On the form, it was called the Incident Date. In the field for Incident Date, the ME investigator entered 10/23/97. In the field for Incident Time, the investigator entered 0344. The incident date and time correspond perfectly with the discovery date and time reported by Deputy Epperson.
Nor is there any reasonable possibility that when he entered that date, he was merely describing the date of his investigation. There was a separate field for the date of his investigation. In the form, it is called the Report Date. In that Report Date field, he entered "10/23/1997." In the Report Time field, he entered 0410. The Report Date and Report Time fields apparently correspond with when he was notified of a body to be investigated.
Nor is there any reasonable possibility that the ME investigator was required to write a specific date in that Date of Injury field. Assuming he was not confident about the date of Anastasia's injury, he could have simply left the field blank. Alternatively, he could have typed "UNKN." He did, for example, type "UNKN" in the Time of Injury field.
The standardized Medical Examiner Investigator Report attests that the investigator is qualified to estimate the date and time of injury. It does so by providing the investigator fields for entering that information.
The ME investigator who examined Anastasia's body evaluated the state of her rigor. He must therefore have touched her skin and made at least an unconscious assessment of its temperature. He must have also seen the color of her exposed skin. He must have seen the clarity of her eyes.
We cannot ask him now what he felt or what he saw, because he has since died. We can only go by the information he placed on his official Medical Examiner Investigator Report. In that report, he willfully entered 10/23/97 as the Date of Injury. He chose to enter UNKN for the Time of Injury. We are left with the inescapable conclusion that he believed, based on his training and his examination of Anastasia's body, that she was shot sometime after midnight, but he was unable or unwilling to specify the time more precisely.
The Medical Examiner Investigator Report establishes absolutely that Anastasia WitbolsFeugen was killed near or after midnight.
Similarly, Anastasia's Certificate of Death (signed by Dr. Young) lists her Date of Death as OCTOBER 23, 1997. Once again, that is the same day that Deputy Epperson discovered her body. Once again, that is after midnight.
It is possible, of course, that the Certificate of Death needed a specific Date of Death, even if that date could only be approximated. It is not reasonable, however, that the same certificate would demand a date in the Date of Injury field if such a date was not known. In the Time of Injury field, for example, Dr. Young entered UNKN.
In the Date of Injury field, however, Dr. Young entered 10-23-97.
Summary and Prayer for Relief
Time-of-Death considerations establish with certainty that Anastasia was killed close to midnight, and they do so to the detriment of Kelly Moffett's veracity and her claim to the contrary.
Byron Case clearly did not murder Anastasia WitbolsFuegen. Someone killed her near midnight and Byron was then at home. His mother places him there and Kelly Moffett herself places him there. She called him slightly before midnight and they spoke about the events of the day, fretting about Anastasia. Kelly does not dispute that Byron was then at home. No one does.
Four eye-witnesses saw Anastasia alive well after dusk, well after the time of day when Kelly claimed she witnessed Anastasia being murdered.
One eye-witness actually saw Anastasia step from the car and walk towards home, well after dusk, just as Byron has always claimed, just as Kelly claimed until Byron left her for St. Louis.
One ear-witness, Anastasia's own father, places her time-of-death absolutely near midnight. Don Rand did not hear any such gunshot, though he was only half the distance to the crime scene. Don Rand did not hear the shot because he went home at 10 PM.
Anastasia's wallet somehow made it home, well after dusk.
The tampon provided by Dawn Wright (well after dusk) was not found with Anastasia's body. Since there was absolutely no opportunity in Kelly's post-rejection story for Anastasia to replace the tampon with a sanitary napkin, Kelly's post-rejection story must be false.
Four medical time-of-death markers place Anastasia's death near midnight. Her skin temperature and coloration, the incomplete stiffness or her muscles, and the clarity of her corneas all testify to Byron's innocence.
The Medical Examiner Investigator Report formally specifies the date of Anastasia's injury as the 23rd, sometime after midnight, well past dusk the previous day. The ME investigator was not obliged to enter that date.
Anastasia's Death Certificate formally specifies the date of her injury as the 23rd, sometime after midnight, sometime well past dusk the pervious day. Dr. Young was not obliged to enter any date in that field.
Had the jury been presented the time-of-death evidence I now present to you, we would not be corresponding today. I say this with confidence based on my four experiences as a juror.
I have served as a juror for a drive-by shooting, an assault and battery, a multi-victim child molestation case, and a first-degree murder. I have voted both guilty and not guilty. I have favored counts more serious than preferred by my fellow jurors, and have argued for counts less serious than preferred by the others.
I am confident that no jury of twelve citizens would have found Byron Case guilty of murder had they been presented the time-of-death evidence I have summarized herein. One of the many tragedies in this case is that the jury was left completely uniformed about the time of death issues.
The jury heard not a whit from Dr. Young, or from the ME investigator, or Anastasia's father, or Dairy Queen owner Sulaman Saulat. None of those four were called to testify.
The jury heard absolutely nothing about the medical time-of-death markers placing Anastasia's death near or after midnight. As I recall from the trial transcripts, the words time of death were never even mentioned contiguously and in that order.
The jury did hear from Wanda Wright and from Glen Colliver. The testimony Ms. Wright and Mr. Colliver provided was, however, not inconsistent with the testimony Kelly provided, unless the jurors realized the subtle time of day discrepancies. Byron's court-appointed counsel did not himself recognize those discrepancies, and did not argue them to the jury.
The jury did hear from Don Rand. They heard he saw the woman only from a distance and only while it was dark. They chose not to believe him. They chose instead to believe the embittered young woman who said she witnessed the murder up close, when it was still light enough to see.
Governor Nixon, I pray that after careful consideration of Byron's petition and this letter, you will grant him an absolute pardon. If it would be helpful, I would be pleased to meet with you and discuss any matter associated with this case.
