__label__cc	0.738041	0.261959	Not so fun Tuesday Hello from September 11 :/ I feel like I should say something profound and meaningful, but I can’t think of anything. We were all in 4th grade then, and I still remember the whole school just stopping as everyone turned on the news to find out what was going on. In middle school, my chorus teacher showed us a tribute video featuring Enya’s Only Time on the anniversary every year. I tried to find the video, but that was before YouTube even existed. There are a lot of videos with that song, though. As for news from earlier in the week, we had our first fencing meeting of the year on Thursday. At least a dozen potential new members showed up, so we were all really excited! I have art tonight, so I’ll only get to come to practices on Thursdays, which makes me kind of sad. But art is turning out to be a lot of fun so far. I mean, my homework last week was to color- I can’t really complain. Other than that, Amber already told you about her birthday fun on Friday. I love being 20 years old and still wanting to run around the playground like little kids <3 Umm, there isn’t much else to tell you about. I should get to work on school stuff soon, anyway, so I guess I’ll go on to Questions. I have to warn you, though, Question Tuesday is quite bereft this week. Jill and Anna Beth decided I give “cop out” answers too much, so they have re-posed some of the questions that they think require more legitimate answers. Which is really boring. Jill and Anna Beth: What district do you think you would have belonged to in the Hunger Games? According to the “What Hunger Games District are You?” quiz on Facebook: You are nice. You have a tough time with making friends, but with romance, it never goes wrong. You are definitely beautiful. Your job would be fishing. So…. District 4, apparently. If you could be one of the Doctor’s companions, which one would you want to be (Rose, Martha, Donna, Amy, etc)? But no spoilers in your answer por favor Rose, I suppose (though I still don’t want to be Rose) Imagine you’re a timelord and you get to pick one person to travel with you through time and space. Who would you pick? (although your original answer to this was actually satisfactory, Anna Beth says she was looking for you to give a specific name) The Doctor? What would you include in the opening or closing Olympic ceremonies if you could design them for the US? Music and Fireworks. And the Vlogbrothers. What’s your favorite movie? Phantom of the Opera. Not that I’m biased from having just finished the book and rewatched the movie, or anything. If you met a genie, what would your 3 wishes be? 1. Chocolate. 2. Money for a road trip. 3. Real Question Tuesday Questions. If I were to ask you what argument/debate you’ve had with someone has been the most entertaining, what’s the first thing to come to mind? The ones I have with my sister all the time. What’s the strangest thing you believed as a child? Well, when I was little our house didn’t have a garage, so whenever we got home after dark, I was always afraid that a lion or something was waiting to attack us before we could get into the house. There, questions answered. Correction: I was looking for a name of a specific person you actually know to travel through time and space with you. Too bad that's not what you said :) Question: Imagine you’re a timelord and you get to pick one person THAT YOU ACTUALLY KNOW BY NAME RIGHT NOW IN REAL LIFE to travel with you through time and space. Who would you pick? It appears we have neglected question asking again. Forgive us? How did your parents meet? It's snack time: would you like something sweet or savory (exclude chocolate :P) You have been declared dictator of the world. What is your first decree? What is your least favorite movie? When was the last time you got in trouble at school? Do you have a favorite website? (other than youtube and facebook) What's that behind you? How are you feeling about the current season of Doctor Who so far? Why is school so stressful sometimes? What's the strangest remedy for the common cold you've heard of? What's that thing behind you? No, not that one. The other ominous thing. If you could only see one color and everything else was black and white, what color would you pick? Who should play the next Doctor, and when do you think he'll regenerate? There are people who want the Doctor to regenerate into a woman. What would you think if that happened? If you could assemble a team of five people from history to go on adventures with you, who would you pick? (They have to be real people) Who's your favorite president? What are your views on capital punishment? Can blogs ever count as essays? What do you think is your best survival skill for the zombie apocalypse? (This must be a skill you already possess) What do you imagine the weirdest technological development will be in the next ten years? What do you think will happen on December 21, 2012? What would make all the batteries in everything die all at once? Are there any new fall tv shows you plan on watching? Where is the strangest place you've ever been with pajamas on? Which is better: making a wish at 11:11 or wishing on a star?	cc/2023-06/en_middle_0014.json.gz/line3
__label__cc	0.715439	0.284561	St. Andronicus and St. Athanasia \| St. James of Cyrrhestica \| St. Melania the Elder \| Introduction \| Notes and Observations \| Prayers and Texts St. Pelagia of Antioch and Jerusalem, The Penitent The primary life was written by the Deacon James of Edessa, and was an eyewitness to her conversion. Manuscripts are preserved in several languages and manuscript traditions. The Greek life is that of St. Symeon the Translator. ( Lives of the Spiritual Mothers, Holy Apostles Convent, 1991 ). The Latin life is that of Eustochius ( Harlots of the Desert B. Ward, Cistercian Publications ©1987 ,). Internal evidence does not allow exact dating, she is discussed in a homily by St. John Chrysostom, and the third century is probable. Conversion from Paganism Born in Antioch of pagan, Syriac-speaking parents Pelagia was a woman of both great beauty and immodest sensuality. She prostituted this beauty, enabling her to adorn herself richly, own slaves, and gain the attention of many wealthy customers. In Antioch, she was known as Margaret, or "Pearl", due to the great number she owned. One day, Pelagia's parade happened by the church dedicated to the martyr St. Julian, where Bishop St. Nonnos of Edessa, in the company of a number of other visiting bishops, was delivering a sermon. An ascetic from the Tabennisis monastery, St. Nonnos did not advert his eyes from her shameful appearance; he gazed upon her, and was overwhelmed with compunction, and seeing in her extreme attention to and success at attaining physical beauty and desirability, and said to the others: How many hours does this women spend giving all her mind to adorning herself, in order that nothing is lacking, lest today's lovers will not come back tomorrow for bitter pleasure. Yet, here we are, who have the immortal Bridegroom, the Pearl of great price, 'who promises riches such as the eye has not seen, nor the ear heard, nor has it entered into the heart of man to know' for those who love him (1 Cor. 2:9). How is that we neglect our selves, neither adorning ourselves with virtues nor washing the dirt from our souls? At the next Sunday liturgy, though never having attended Divine Services, St. Pelagia was again drawn to the church of St. Julian and stood outside, listening St. Nonnos preach on the immortality of the soul, the judgment of God, and the need and rewards for repentance. This shook her so profoundly that she was filled with self-distain, the fear of God, and an overwhelming urgent need to repent of her entire life. Falling down before St. Nonnus, soaking his feet with tears: Holy Father, be merciful to me, a sinner; I have heard how your God bent the heavens, coming down to earth not for the righteous but for the salvation of sinners. I am a sea of iniquity, an abyss of destruction, a net and weapon of the devil. Baptize me, and teach me repentance, for by reason of me, many have gone to damnation. After testing her sincerity, explaining repentance through the abandonment of harlotry, and hearing her confession, it was arranged for the Blessed Romana, a deaconess, to stand as her sponsor and as her spiritual mother to ground her in the Christian faith, Pelagia was baptized and communicated. This vexed the evil one greatly and he appeared to her in the night trying to recall her to her material way of living. Pelagia dispelled him by making the science of the Cross, blowing on him saying: "My God who snatched me out of your teeth and led me into the heavenly bride chamber will resist you for me." Life of Repentance Knowing that baptism was the start of repentance and having warded off the claims of riches, Pelagia disposed of all her wealth, giving it to widows, orphans, and the poor, and freeing her slaves. On the eighth day of baptism, having fasted from her baptism, St. Pelagia, choosing for the good portion, secretly removed her feminine baptismal robes and put on a hair shirt and ragged male tunic and fled Antioch for Jerusalem. Once there, she took the name Pelagios she entered the life of singleness, and shut herself up on the Mount of Olives. After several years of this life, the deacon of Bishop Nonnos, James, made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. Hearing of the sever ascetic Pelagios he went to be instructed by him, and found what in appearance was a human wreck, and did not recognized the former Margaret. She, however, recognized him, asked for the prayers of Bishop Nonnos, and retreated into her cell, chanting the psalms of the third hour, thus exemplifying the path of sobriety. After visiting several other ascetics and communities, James, made a return visit to her cell, discovered her to have reposed. Elders and brethren from the surrounding communities came to assist in the burial of the holy relics. They were then astonished to discover the truth of the identity of Pelegios as the women Pelagia, so that many female and male ascetics from all of Palestine bore her body to its place of burial. Understanding Her Every detail of St. Pelagia's life is an inversion. From a life wealth gained by soliciting every man, she hides herself as a man of sorrow and grief in order to become the companion of the wise virgins, entering the bridal chamber of God: Margaret's quest for pearls lead her to acquire the Pearl of great price. With her repose and the unconcealing of her identity, St. Pelagia's salvation is manifested. St. Pelagia's repentance was possible because she was intolerant hypocrisy. Her material integrity moved Bishop Nonnos to profound tears over his own superficial, hypocritical life. He proclaimed, but did not live by, authentic love. Margaret was motivated by material loves, which is insatiable and, as it is transactional, instantly dies. Transactional material loves are the absurdity of living in death: existential hypocrisy. This kingdom of the demons, who eat but are never full. This hypocrisy, this life of sin, clung to her, and ensnared her customers. Bishop Nonnos's own repentance, reflected in his homily, attracted hers. What St. Pelagia heard from Bishop Nonnos was the more excellent way: Do you not know you are the Temple of God? That God came into the world to save the thief, to give the harlot virginity, to redeem publican, calling all sinners to repentance. However, God will not enter the temple if it is unclean. To enter the Bridegroom's wedding feast, the unity of love, one must put on the wedding garment of repentance. Then He will desire to be with you. Wash with tears, takeoff the dark clothing of sin, put on humility, and seek the pearl of salvation. The merciful lover will make you radiant in the festal robe of purity and with a crown of righteousness. God, the Eternal Lover, grants virginity in those debauched by death when they adorn themselves through repentance, abandon worldly charms, and zealously cut off all hypocrisy. Be fruitful in the labors of love in which material sorrows drift away, replaced by fragrant stillness, the presence of the Bridegroom. The Lenten prokeminon for the Third Hour: " O Lord, Who didst send down Thy Most-holy Spirit at the third hour upon Thine apostles: Take Him not from us, O Good One, but renew Him in us who pray to Thee." Troparion and Kontakion Troparion for St. Pelagia, in the Fourth Tone Like a fragrant rose growing from thorns thou wast shown to the Church through thy virtuous deed and wast a source of joy for the faithful. Thou didst offer thy life in sweet-smelling fragrance to Him Who made thee wonderful. Entreat Him to save us from every passion, O righteous Pelagia. Kontakion for St. Pelagia, in the Second Tone Thou didst wear out thy body with fasts, vigils and prayers and pray thy Creator for total forgiveness. This thou didst obtain and dost show us the way to repentance, O holy Mother Pelagia. Feast day: October 8	cc/2023-06/en_middle_0014.json.gz/line5

SPECIAL REPORT: Netanyahu Speaks to Congress Exclusive: Seven of Colorado's Nine Congressional Leaders To Attend Commentary: Diana DeGette Set to Snub Israel A Prominent Denver Rabbi's Call To Action Elie Wiesel's Full-Page Ad in Support of Netanyahu Colorado Votes on Netanyahu By Maxwell Rotbart Both of Colorado's U.S. Senators and five of our state's U.S. Representatives plan to attend Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's address to a Joint Session of Congress on March 3rd, based on interviews or exclusive email responses provided to Radio Chavura by all nine elected officials. Only Congresswoman Diane DeGette (CO-01) confirmed she does not plan to attend, while Congressman Ed Perlmutter (CO-07) says he hasn't yet decided. The speech has become something of a litmus test for those in Congress measuring how fully they stand behind Israel, which has historically enjoyed strong bipartisan support in Congress. A nuclear Iran is a red line issue. The Obama Administration has repeatedly pledged to Israel and the American public it will never permit Iran to cross that line and obtain the capability of producing nuclear weapons. Yet part of what is prompting the urgency of Mr. Netanyahu's address before Congress are credible indications that the United States and the so-called P5+1 negotiating partners (the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council plus Germany) now seem close to reaching an agreement with Iran that would leave Iran poised to go nuclear. In a post on his Facebook page, Congressman Mike Coffman (CO-06), whose district includes Aurora, wrote, "shame on anyone, Republican or Democrat, who won't stand with our great friend and dearest ally." Some influential senators and representatives have publicly decried Mr. Netanyahu's decision to speak despite the objections of the Obama Administration. Even a few prominent American Jewish leaders and organizations have discouraged him from appearing before Congress, fearful that his participation might jeopardize Israel's long-standing bipartisan support. But Mr. Netanyahu, according to the Israeli press, has made it clear to his advisors that he considers America's softening resolve in negotiations with Iran, and the likelihood that Iran will soon obtain nuclear capability, to be an existential threat to the Jewish State. Known as a dynamic speaker, Mr. Netanyahu will no doubt not only spell out why he believes the survival of the State of Israel is at stake, but also why Iran poses a regional and global threat. Iran's leaders have repeatedly called for Israel to be "wiped off the map," and Iran is already testing missiles capable of delivering weapons of mass destruction to Europe and the United States.

Commentary: DeGette Poised to Snub Israel And Her Many Pro-Israel Constituents Congressman Fred Upton (R-MI) and Congresswoman Diana DeGette In a video discussing the 21st Century Cures initiative By Dean Rotbart Colorado Congresswoman Diana DeGette's veiled excuse for snubbing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu when he addresses a Joint Session of the U.S. Congress on March 3rd is so flimsy as to be fully transparent. Her decision is pure, grotesquely partisan politics and a slap in the face to the thousands of pro-Israel constituents - both Jewish and non-Jewish alike - who have helped elect Congresswoman DeGette to office nine consecutive times. A large percentage of greater-Denver's pro-Israel voters live in Congresswoman DeGette's 1st Congressional District. DeGette, a Democrat, has held the seat since 1997, when she succeeded Patricia Schroeder. DeGette is a Congresswoman of national stature, serving as a chief deputy whip and as a member of the Committee on Energy and Commerce, and the Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations. Her actions - and in this instance, blatant inaction - reflect not only on her home district, but also on Congress as a whole. While Prime Minister Netanyahu's remarks next month before Congress will be the most important in Israel's 66-year history, Congresswoman DeGette will be a very visible no show. This past Friday (February 13th), Congresswoman DeGette's office confirmed to Radio Chavura that she doesn't plan to attend Prime Minister Netanyahu's speech due to a scheduling conflict.

Rabbi Daniel Alter Calls on Community to Contact DeGette and Perlmutter In an email sent February 16th to members of the DAT Minyan, Rabbi Daniel Alter encouraged members of the community to contact Representatives Diana DeGette and Ed Perlmutter and ask them to attend Prime Minister Netanyahu's address to a Joint Session of Congress on March 3rd. Congresswoman DeGette told Radio Chavura she will not attend, while Congressman Perlmutter told Radio Chavura he is still undecided. "Unfortunately, our own representative, Mrs. Diana DeGette, is the only representative from Colorado who at this time has no intent to attend," Rabbi Alter wrote. "I just sent a letter to her office asking that she reconsider what I believe to be a mistake." Rabbi Alter Rabbi Alter acknowledged that while not all Jews may be supportive of the way that Mr. Netanyahu came to speak before Congress, "at this point in time, having a number of members of Congress boycott his speech (especially if they are almost all from one party) would be bad for Israel, bad four our country and bad for the US-Israel relationship." Rabbi Alter, who has been head of the Denver Academy of Torah since 2006, and his wife, Rivka, were honored at the school's 22nd Annual Gala, held on February 23rd. Rabbi Alter provided Congresswoman DeGette's local contact information: 600 Grant Street, Suite 202 Elie Wiesel: "Will You Join Me....?" Nobel Peace Prize winner and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel says he will attend Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech before Congress. In full-page ads run in major newspapers earlier this month he asked people of good conscious to show their support for Mr. Netanyahu and for Israel's right to protect itself against the Hamans of our age. "President Obama, Vice President Biden, distinguished members of Congress, I ask you - As one who has seen the enemies of the Jewish people make good on threats to exterminate us, how can I remain silent," Wiesel asks. "As Queen Esther said when addressing her King: 'How can I behold the destruction of my people?'"

__label__wiki	0.655187	0.655187	David Martin Jones I am a political scientist, writer and commentator based in the UK and Australia. My research tackles thorny questions of statecraft, conscience and threat, and looks backwards into history for a better understanding of the way we live now and the choices we make. My areas of expertise include: Political Thought and Statecraft War, Terror and Counterinsurgency East and South East Asia Terror in the Western Mind: Cultural Responses to 9/11 Academica Press, Washington co-author: M. L. R. Smith Twenty years after the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon, we can now see that the War on Terror profoundly affected Western self-understanding and the secular liberal image it sought to project onto a global canvas at what was widely assumed to be the end of history. The dramatic change in awareness that 9/11 brought about was particularly vivid, this book maintains, in the media that sustained and displayed the West’s self-image. In particular, fiction, film, drama, the visual arts, and popular music have all struggled to come to grips with the phenomena of terror, asymmetrical warfare, home grown jihadist activism, and the moral and political dilemmas they evoke. The book further argues that the evolving progressive response to 9/11 assumed an increasingly ideological character via the critical and normative international relations theories that came to dominate Western campuses after 2001. These perspectives gave substance to an increasingly critical depiction of the West’s War on Terror and its popular promotion through works of literature, film, music, and the visual arts. Promoted through these popular genres, it combined the ingredients that formed “woke” ideology in an accessible formula that subsequently dominated both the mainstream media, academia, and, in time, government agencies. A provocative and disturbing account of how terrorism has shaped our cultural landscape over the past two decades exposing the West’s deeply unsettling moral crisis. A dazzling, intelligent, and thought-provoking read. — Joanna Williams A provocative but vital and sharply observed study of how the artistic establishment has reacted to the past two decades of the War on Terror. — Professor Bruce Hoffman Not many scholars can write authoritatively and accessibly about Clint Eastwood, Grayson Perry, Foucault, Tony Blair, Zero Dark Thirty, and Islamism, let alone make sense of the links among them in this magisterial overview of the impact of 9/11. But Jones and Smith do – and they pull it off with style. — Tim Williams A highly provocative and engaging thesis about the ways popular culture responded to 9/11 from two authors always keen to challenge established orthodoxies. — Shiraz Maher A gripping, ruthless analysis of how terrorists, their apologists, and moral relativists – motivated by malignity, stupidity, or naivety – are full of passionate intensity in their struggle to destroy our magnificent civilisation. — Ruth Dudley Edwards ABOUT HOW TO ORDER Recent writing includes: The Political Impossibility of Modern Counterinsurgency Sacred Violence: Political Religion in a Secular Age Asian Security and the Rise of China: International Relations in an Age of Volatility Refereed International Journals Australian Journal of Political Science © David Martin Jones 2023	cc/2023-06/en_middle_0014.json.gz/line18
__label__cc	0.564177	0.435823	« Ambassador Gutman to Jews: it’s your own fault! Why they aren’t at “the damn table” » Israeli democracy? Or US elections? Hillary Clinton complaining that Israel is becoming undemocratic One of the themes beloved by Jewish-American critics of Israel like Peter Beinart and Rabbi Richard Jacobs has been that Israel is insufficiently democratic. This is also a staple for the Israeli Left whenever Israel’s democratically elected government does something they don’t like. In particular, the Knesset has been debating several possible approaches to ending or at least reducing foreign funding of Israeli NGOs that delegitimize or demonize the state, interfere with its security, engage in ‘lawfare’ against it, and so forth. Naturally the individuals for whom these organizations — which have very little indigenous Israeli support — constitute a meal ticket, are screaming bloody murder. Now the US Secretary of State has joined the crowd: WASHINGTON – US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton voiced deep concern on Saturday over a wave of anti-democratic legislation in Israel and in particular a bill proposing to limit donations to human rights organizations. Clinton also criticized the growing exclusion of women from Israel’s public life… Clinton, a longtime advocate for women’s rights, noted she was shocked at the fact that some Jerusalem buses have assigned separate seating areas for women. “It’s reminiscent of Rosa Parks,” she said, referring to the black American woman who refused to give up her seat to white passengers in the 1950s. Referring to the decision of some IDF soldiers to leave an event where female soldiers were singing, she said it reminded her of the situation in Iran. [my emphasis] It should be made clear that neither of the phenomena related to women mentioned are government-sanctioned or widespread like bus segregation was in the US. They are confined to ultra-observant communities (in one case, observant IDF soldiers and the other, hareidi neighborhoods in Jerusalem). Israel’s government and legal system operate on secular principles, and feminism is a powerful force in Israel. I think we can depend on Israelis to solve this one by themselves. As a feminist and secularist, Clinton should be concerned about the appearance of an association for “the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice” that is being organized in newly-‘democratic’ Tunisia. Or perhaps she could comment on the report of a ‘high-level advisory group’ in Saudi Arabia that allowing women to drive would “threaten the country’s traditions of virgin brides.” The issue of foreign funding for NGOs, however, is quite a serious matter, and it is very disappointing to hear the US echoing the frustrated, disenfranchised Israeli Left. After all, the US has a Foreign Agents Registration Act to ensure transparency of funding for organizations in the US. Israel is a small country and a few tens or hundreds of millions of dollars here and there can have a strong effect on its conduct of foreign affairs and internal politics, and could even tip the balance in a close election (here are some examples of funding from European governments — note that it doesn’t include church organizations or the US-based New Israel Fund, major contributors to anti-state NGOs). Another example of “anti-democratic” legislation is a bill which would increase the limit on penalties for libel without damage to $80,000 from its present limit of about $13,000. Proponents say that the present low limits are not a deterrent to media assassinations of public figures. Finally, there is a bill which will change the way the justices of the Supreme Court are chosen. Today the 9-member selection committee includes three members of the Court itself, two cabinet ministers, two representatives of the Bar Association, and two Knesset members (one from the coalition and one from the opposition). The Court members plus the Bar Association have managed to dominate the committee in recent history, leading to a self-perpetuating ideologically left-wing court. The bill wants to require that the Bar Association members also be split between the coalition and the opposition. Whatever you think of these bills — and I think they represent a much-needed correction in the degree to which the unelected left-wing media and judiciary, along with foreign-funded NGOs, influence Israeli governance — they are not anti-democratic. And they are most certainly not the business of the US State Department or the Obama Administration. What is behind this sudden surge of concern for Israel’s democracy? In the past few days we’ve heard the Secretary of Defense, Leon Panetta, blame Israel for the lack of progress in the worse-than-useless ‘peace process’, and now Ms. Clinton gives aid and comfort to the left-wing opposition to PM Netanyahu. My interpretation is that this is an effort to a) pressure Netanyahu to make more concessions to the PLO — anything to get an appearance of ‘progress’ to boost Obama’s pretension of being a successful leader in foreign affairs, and b) to keep Democratic Jewish voters and contributors in line despite his increasingly anti-Israel policies. In other words, it’s all about November 2012. Technorati Tags: Israel, Hillary Clinton, democracy This entry was posted on Sunday, December 4th, 2011 at 4:14 pm and is filed under General.

Or US elections?” The incessant meddling in Israel’s affairs by those who do not understand Israeli realities offends and angers. It is amazing how ignorant even a person like Clinton is who supposedly knows Israel well. As for the current battle to restrain the vicious anti- Israel forces it looks like a lost cause. The Lefties have won. David Pakter says: Hillary Clinton is “shocked, just shocked” !! Mouthpiece for Obama Administration sets a new low in current American politics Re remarks from Fresnozionism.org attached herein: Every time I witness the Obama camp do and say things that seem to break all records in setting new lows in politics and plain simple adherence to honesty and truthful reporting of facts, we have now been forced to witness Obama’s official “Motor-mouth”- Ms. Hillary Clinton, knowingly lie through her teeth. Can anything be more sickening than to hear her compare the ancient religious custom of separate seating of men and women on buses in certain Israeli neighborhoods to the racist and overtly humiliating Jim Crow days practice of forcing blacks on US buses in the South to surrender their paid for seat to a white passenger who demanded that bus seat. And then to add insult to injury be forced to go to the back of the bus. For Ms. Long-over-the “Hill” Clinton to insult and demean a precious historical memory from the Civil Rights Era by comparing the position the courageous Rosa Parks found herself in one hot afternoon on a public bus to how seating is arranged on certain Israeli buses for men and women to accomodate a particular religious custom, is so over the top insulting to one’s intelligence it beggars the imagination. Ms. Clinton knows very well her attempted comparison is totally groundless and historicaly inaccurate as well as inappropriate. The two situations have nothing in common save that both involve public buses. How dare Ms. Clinton attempt to make the duplicitous comparison she has stated for the record. Another example of the Obama Administration’s despicable type of Israel bashing. Over the years I have grown less and less enamoured with the “ways and means” of Ms. Clinton. But her latest knowingly false and outrageous attempt to zero in on the bus system in certain Israeli neighborhoods that have no intention in word or deed or reality to subject anyone- whether male or female, to any form of humiliation, is for me the last straw. I never would have believed Clinton was capable of sinking to such a low as to turn truth and logic on its head in the course of promoting her paymaster Obama’s increasingly disturbing and dangerous agenda re the Middle East. May I be allowed to quote and paraphrase those powerful words spoken by an attorney of great reknown during the 1950’s McCarthy Hearings. “Have you no shame Ms. Clinton? “Have you at long last no shame at all? ” They used to say that “a dog that will fetch a bone, will carry a bone”. I would be surprised if Ms. Clinton’s teeth are not starting to feel just a little pained these days. She has certainly come a long way from the young and brash “seeker of Truth at any cost”, she was in her University days so long ago and far away. How much Ms. Clinton is to be pitied as she tries desperately to hang on to some semblance of a political future regardless of the cost to her good name. Is it not enough to make the Angels bow their heads and weep. juvanya says: “now Ms. Clinton gives aid and comfort to the left-wing opposition to PM Netanyahu.” hahaha aid and comfort to the left “to keep Democratic Jewish voters and contributors in line despite his increasingly anti-Israel policies. Well Im not voting for Obambam or the Arabist puppets Gingrich and Romney. Only if Ron Paul wins will I vote. http://www.newsmax.com/InsideCover/paul-israel-support-wead/2011/12/07/id/420247	cc/2023-06/en_middle_0014.json.gz/line22

This is a photo from a CostumeCon I competed in during 1997 (it wasn't a nice experience; if I ever go to one of those again, it won't be the local one). The fabric is a silk/linen blend I received in 1993 in return for making outfits for friends who were the Baron and Baroness of Lochmere at the time. I didn't make the outfit until 1995, after I lost a significant amount of weight. For the 1997 competition, I made a stab at period makeup (my cheeks are a little overdone, and the lips are too red), and I have all the correct underpinnings, including a roll. I think it looks rather good, though I'd still want to do a number of things to the bodies to fix some wrinkling problems. I'm wearing a velvet petticoat under the silk, and slightly taller shoes than in the hall of shame picture, so the petticoats hang better. I'm wearing black gloves, which I think I'd switch out for white ones if I were to dress up exactly like this again. My hat is made of a non-period material, but correct in shape. I have my first embroidered coif (at that time, my only embroidered coif), and my machine embroidered shift. The makeup is actually hysterical - after a while it dries out a little, and starts to crack. I had to keep a straight expressionless face the whole time to avoid looking like Norma Desmond in "Sunset Boulevard". picture provided by J. Thies This is me in 1998 - at the event I got my White Scarf (that's the white drapey thing on my shoulder in many of these pictures; it's a rapier award). This outfit was originally made in 1996, and couched (surface embroidered) with yellow sometime in 1998. I still have this outfit - it's one of the first outfits I embroidered with an actual design, as opposed to just sewing beads all over it. It's linen, and has the narrow skirt typical of the 1570s. The coif has a ridiculously large lace trim - I'm a bit more subtle with the lace these days (unless I can document it), and the wool flat cap is more suited to a man than a woman, but this was before I perfected my coif-tying-technique-that-will-keep-it-on-even-in-a-hurricane theory, so I had to hold the coif on my head with something. ...come to think of it, this coif may have been the catalyst for that avenue of research, as I must have muttered to myself a million times "how did they get these to stay on?!". Below, a close-up of the couching on the bodice - the design continues around to the center back lacing. close-up of the couching on the bodice This is me in April of 2006, looking the picture of Elizabethan sexy. Check out those stockings! Actually, it was rather hot under my tent. No, really. This outfit is blue and white linen weave, and was originally made in 1996 or 1997. With some adjustments for sizing (I originally made it too big), it's still clearly a regular part of my wardrobe. Here, I'm wearing it with a straw hat (my favourite one), my first coif, a completely incorrect but comfortable shift (low shifts are correct, but only with a partlet, and this one has elastic shame), a wool petticoat, a linen petticoat, a linen hand-hemmed apron, knitted stocks, and period reproduction shoes with pink grosgrain ribbon ties. The hat is trimmed with pheasant and cockerel feathers, and has a beautiful hand made yellow rosette on the back where you can't see it. The little sprig on the band is rosemary, for my apprentice Madeleine, who died in April 2005. The Elizabethans were very into tokens and symbols, and rosemary symbolizes remembrance. This is my "comfortable" outft - I was running my shop (ye olde goodes for ye discerning clientele), and didn't want to be too hot or too tightly laced. Me as my alter ego Ian in 1998? 1999? - it was quite a while ago) - the ensign of Gardiner's company. I can't do the flag stuff any more, alas, but it was fun twirling the darn thing around while it lasted. The cassock is linen, but really should be wool. It is later in period than the rest of the outfit, and has been since swapped out for a wool cassock with sleeves (in the Dutch cloak style seen on bandesmen at Sir Philip Sidney's funeral). Wool is the default fabric for Elizabethan clothing, but summer on the east coast of the US is remarkably unlike summer in England, and it took me a while to get used to wearing wool in 90+ degree heat. These days, I'm used to it, and it's actually more comfortable than the artificial fibres in my modern clothes, since wool is a natural insulator, but back when this pic was taken, I wasn't as up on all my bits and pieces as I am now. The doublet is home-dyed linen (that used to be a hideous magenta pink), lined in linen. I experimented with flattening my overly large boobs and padding my waist to make myself look more male, but ended up looking enormously fat, so I chickened out, and these days, I just wear a corset underneath (these days I also don't dress like a man as much, but there's a picture out there somewhere of me dressed as Will Kemp on his "Nine Dayes Wonder", and I'm sporting quite the ginger moustache and goatee) (and Morris bells). The breeches are Dutch slops, made in velvet, and I think the first pair of trousers I made after I lost weight (I used to weigh close to 200 pounds). They are correct as far as they go, since breeches are essentially a very simple trouser, but the more fashionable "Ian" has since updated "his" look to include a fine pair of canions and slops. "He's" thought about a padded pair, but is rather self-conscious about the size of "his" butt. Perhaps soon. The doublet today, front and back (those side seams are really slimming!) - with better buttons (hand made), and lots of lovely trim. I followed the Elizabethan method of covering all the seams with trim - in this case, a narrow black satin ribbon. Since men's and women's doublets were substantially the same (Philip Stubbes gets very vitriolic on the subject of women dressing like men), this doublet can be worn with trousers or a skirt, depending on my mood. ...Women have it so much better than men; when we cross-dress, no-one raises an eyebrow. copyright V. Dye, 2002 This is my husband Robert and me in 2000 (I think), posing at the Washington Cathedral in Washington DC. Robert is wearing a black velvet cloak he redacted and made himself from the Janet Arnold Patterns of Fashion. I'm wearing a coat from the same book, made of green wool, with green satin trim couched in white thread. The coat now has sleeves, and the final button count was 126 hand made buttons. The outfit underneath is the matching doublet and petticoat made of silk/linen brocade that coordinates with the outfit at the top of the page. This coat is based on two gowns in the Janet Arnold Patterns of Fashion 1550-1620 book; the body and embroidery/trim design are from one, the sleeves are from another. The final time spent on this project was roughly 300 hours, was started in 1998, and finally finished when I completed the sleeves in 2003. It is green wool, will soon be lined in yellow silk (when I made it, I had no job, so was forced to use a lower grade linen cotton blend for the lining - this will be covered and become an interlining, and the yellow silk will be hand-applied over it), and now has sleeves. It is couched in white perle cotton thread (again, for cost) over green satin ribbon, and is decorated with 126 hand-wrapped wooden buttons, most of which are entirely decorative. For the trim, I followed the general layout of the straight ribbon patterns and the body of the original, but I created epaulets instead of padded short sleeves, and took the shaped long sleeves from another coat of the same era and decorated them to match the body of the coat. The sleeves can actually be worn, but they are meant to hang down at the back. The odd shape is from the original sleeve - it was so appealing, I wanted to reproduce it. There are buttons down the entire sleeve, but no loops to close it - the underside is undecorated, as it is designed to hang so that only the front really shows. All the trim is hand-applied, from the satin ribbon base up. This took a while - the buttons took roughly 15 minutes apiece, and the steady layering of the ribbon then the couched thread, then the hand-braided cord for the frogs - and there was a gap of about 2 years where the sleeves stayed unfinished because I ran out of ribbon and kept forgetting to get more (I had to special order the quantities I needed). I used an artist's white conte pencil to indicate where I wanted the ribbon to go, then when the ribbon was all applied, I used the same pencil to draw out the design for couching. This was the first couching project where I learned to make the anchoring stitches really small. For more images of the coat, click on the thumbnails below. Text and images copyright L.

__label__wiki	0.909364	0.909364	Once, this Malayalam movie was made from the money that raised by collecting donations and screening Charlie Chaplin’s film ‘The Kid.’ The term ‘Crowdfunding’ is well known to almost all the filmmakers of now days, also there are many organizations now providing funds for filmmakers. Thinking back to the past, i.e. in the 80’s of Indian Cinema, the filmmaking was considered as a risky business and there are only less number of film production companies, also for working their projects they had constant filmmakers and artists. So, there are only fewer chances for a new filmmaker to get into the film industry. ‘John Abraham’ a great Indian filmmaker lived that period of the 80’s made a Malayalam film Amma Ariyan (Eng Translation: What I want My Mother To Know) completely from the money that raised by collecting donations and screening Charlie Chaplin’s film ‘The Kid.’ The film tells a story of some friends who are travelling from Delhi to Kerala for informing his friend’s (who was a Naxalite) death to his mother. The Film ‘Amma Ariyan’ is the only one south Indian Film that had found a place among British Film Institutes (BFI) Top Ten Indian Feature Film’s list. Mr John at first failed in finding a producer for this film, therefore he wants to collect the fund from the General Public. For this, he founded an organization ‘Odessa Collective’ for making good realistic cinema by collecting the funds from the public. For raising the fund for this film, they screened Chapin’s Kid at the various villages of Kerala, and the rest of the money they were collected through by conducting stage plays and street dance programmes. The film was released by Odessa Collective on 25th Dec 1986. However, the Box office report of the film is not yet revealed.

__label__cc	0.692527	0.307473	Posts Tagged: dutton juvenile Back When You Were Easier To Love 25 Mar, 2011 by Heather in penguin 5 comments by Emily Wing Smith Expected publication: April 28th 2011 by Dutton Childrens Books What’s worse than getting dumped? Not even knowing if you’ve been dumped. Joy got no goodbye, and certainly no explanation when Zan—the love of her life and the only good thing about stifling, backward Haven, Utah—unceremoniously and unexpectedly left for college a year early. Joy needs closure almost as much as she needs Zan, so she heads for California, and Zan, riding shotgun beside Zan’s former-best-friend Noah. Original and insightful, quirky and crushing, Joy’s story is told in surprising and artfully shifting flashbacks between her life then and now. Exquisite craft and wry, relatable humor signal the arrival of Emily Wing Smith as a breakout talent. I should mention if there is one thing I love first and foremost about this book it is the author. Emily Wing Smith is one of the most down to earth, kind and honest people you’ll ever encounter. She has overcome some major life obstacles plus has a master’s degree and two published YA novels. If you ever get the chance you’ll want to meet her. When she called to ask if she could swing by my home to deliver an ARC of Back When You Were Easier to love I was both delighted and touched. How many authors do you know that find you as a fan and bring you their book? Really!? Emily Wing Smith simply rocks. Joy is your typical teen who is enamored and a bit obsessed with her first love…bordering on stalker status. Having only lived in Haven, Utah for six months she is attracted to Zan’s bookish nerdy allure. He knows the Dewey decimal system, can speak several funky foreign languages and wears his grandfather’s loafers. The two of them decide that Haven is just too conservative and happy for their style so they set their sites on Joy’s hometown colleges in Claremont, California. Things are plunking along quite nicely until Zan decides to get his GED and head to Cali without her. Leaving no number, no address and no plans for their future, Zan is gone and Joy wants closure. Here’s the plan…surprise road trip back to her roots and to find Zan. The only problem is all of Joy’s friends aren’t too hip on Zan or on the trip and there’s only one taker on the idea, Zan’s ex-best friend Noah. Noah is the epitome of what Joy is trying to avoid. He’s a “soccer lovin’ kid” …as nice and popular as they come. He’s decided that Joy is going to be his friend whether she wants to be or not. How the two end up alone together in his Saab 900 heading from Utah to Cali we’re still not quite sure. But there’s plenty of Sprite and Barry Manilow tunes to keep the silence from getting too thick. Both Joy and Noah are in for the big surprise that awaits them on their UEA adventure. Back When You Were Easier to Love explores the harsh reality of the loss of first time love, the dangers in setting up stereotypes and the struggles of those with the desire to live outside of cultural expectations. So much of it I could relate to in my experience moving between high schools and then colleges in Utah and California. Whether you are of Joy’s faith as a Mormon or not there is a huge amount of culture shock between these two states. Emily does a wonderful job of teaching that we are all just people, not above or below each other. My only hesitation in content is that a lot of the book is told from Joy and Zan’s viewpoint…looking down. In the process of the storytelling, the very stereotypes Mormons try to avoid may be reinforced in the minds of others reading about us for the first time. Emily differentiated between belief and culture beautifully in the chapter titled “This I Believe” on page 106-107. LOVE loved it. Main character Joy learns she has lost so much of herself trying to be what Zan wants her to be. As teen I think we all made that mistake in one relationship or another. So though sad, Joy’s realization of self and the way she comes to it is realistic. The last 1/3 of the book is definitely my favorite. Noah and Joy are on their way home and take a little detour through Las Vegas. It’s fun and such a hopeful way to end. Joy’s favorite sights in Las Vegas include the Pirate/ siren show at Treasure Island, the mini- Eiffel Tower at Paris and the Statue of Liberty at New York, New York. Noah’s are between TI and the Mirage and M&M world (pages 266-267) So, our Photography Friday post below is a series of Vegas photos from Heather Gardner Photography.

Who you love. Where you work. When you die. Cassia has always trusted their choices. It’s barely any price to pay for a long life, the perfect job, the ideal mate. So when her best friend appears on the Matching screen, Cassia knows with complete certainty that he is the one . . . until she sees another face flash for an instant before the screen fades to black. Now Cassia is faced with impossible choices: between Xander and Ky, between the only life she’s known and a path no one else has ever dared follow—between perfection and passion. Matched is a story for right now and storytelling with the resonance of a classic. I first spotted an ARC of this book at the Writing for Charity event and I fell in love with the cover. It is magical. Shimmering. Perfect. Matched is a story that will stick with you long after you are done reading. And it’s one I could happily read over and over. Ally Condie is a master. She takes a dystopian concept and gives it a hopeful poetic tone. Her writing leaves an impact and a deep impression in your mind. This is a book that I see being taught in classrooms because of the ideas it presents and explores. It starts out as Cassia is getting ready to attend her Matching ceremony, traveling along with her childhood friend Xander and their families. The whole event sounds like a girl’s dream. A new green silk dress, and the once in a lifetime chance to meet the man you may marry. The society hand picks them for you and statistics show all will be well. Cassia’s path may be different than her peers, after her match goes wrong and she sees the faces of two boys instead of one. Both of them live in her borough, but one has a secret. Soon the perfect face of society will start to crumble as Cassia uncovers their methods. They control every facet of life: the food, the jobs, the history, and even the chances you will have in the future to succeed. Society officials watch your every move and limit your choices. As they once seemed protective and helpful they become Cassia’s source of confusion and entrapment. Will she be able to break free and choose love over loyalty? Matched is slow moving but immersive. I found myself falling for both of Cassia’s men. They are incredible. The families are tight knit, each of the character’s pasts are intertwined and interconnected. The plot has layers which continue to unravel and the romance element is clean and perfect. I’m looking forward to the sequel, since in the end there are a lot of unanswered questions. Overall Matched is a beautiful, thought provoking book bound to become a classic. Visit Ally’s website here and an author interview and excerpt from Matched on Amazon.

For her seventh birthday, Katarina and her Uncle Eddie traveled to Austria…to steal the crown jewels. When Kat turned fifteen, she planned a con of her own–scamming her way into the best boarding school in the country, determined to leave the family business behind. Unfortunately, leaving “the life” for a normal life proves harder than she’d expected. Soon, Kat’s friend and former co-conspirator, Hale, appears out of nowhere to bring her back into the world she tried so hard to escape. But he has good reason: a powerful mobster has been robbed of his priceless art collection and wants to retrieve it. Only a master thief could have pulled this job, and Kat’s father isn’t just on the suspect list, he is the list. Caught between Interpol and a far more deadly enemy, Kat’s dad needs her help. For Kat there is only one solution: track down the paintings and steal them back. So what if it’s a spectacularly impossible job? She’s got two weeks, a teenage crew, and hopefully just enough talent to pull off the biggest heist in history-or at least her family’s (very crooked) history. published February 9th 2010 by Speak details Paperback, 288 pages Sophie Greene gets good grades, does the right thing, and has a boyfriend that her parents— and her younger brother—just love. (Too bad she doesn’t love him.) Sophie dreams of being more like Devon Deveraux, star of her favorite romance novels, but, in reality, Sophie isn’t even daring enough to change her nail polish. All of that changes when Sophie goes to Florida to visit her grandma Roz, and she finds herself seated next to a wolfishly goodlooking guy on the plane. The two hit it off, and before she knows it, Sophie’s living on the edge. But is the drama all it’s cracked up to be? published March 1st 2010 by Harperteen Before he died, Melissa’s father told her about stars. He told her that the brightest stars weren’t always the most beautiful—that if people took the time to look at the smaller stars, if they looked with a telescope at the true essence of the star, they would find real beauty. But even though Melissa knows that beauty isn’t only skin deep, the people around her don’t seem to feel that way. There’s her gorgeous sister Ashley who will barely acknowledge Melissa at school, there’s her best friend Ryan, who may be falling in love with the sophisticated Courtney, and there’s Melissa’s mother who’s dating someone new, someone who Melissa knows will never be able to replace her father. To make sure she doesn’t lose her father completely, Melissa spends her time trying to piece together the last of his secrets and completing a journal her father began—one about love and relationships and the remarkable ways people find one another. But when tragedy strikes, Melissa has to start living and loving in the present, as she realizes that being beautiful on the outside doesn’t mean you can’t be beautiful on the inside.

Garda Boxing Club will mark the 100th centenary of An Garda Siochana with a fight night with New York Fire Department boxers on September 23rd, at the home of Irish Boxing.

Jack McHugh 91+kg: Patrick Lavery Vs. Dan Hoolahan Brian Sutton, Garda Boxing Club, says “An Garda Siochana have a rich and proud history of involvement with the sport of Boxing in Ireland. This history dates back to the formation of the IABA in 1911 when General Eoin O Duffy transferred from the Army to the newly formed Irish Police Service. Following the war of independence, he placed a great importance on the sport of Amateur Boxing within An Garda Siochana. During Commissioner O’Duffy’s tenure the sport of Amateur Boxing in Ireland was largely dominated by the Gardai and Army. Irelands new police force under Commissioner O’Duffy’s guidance helped the sport to emerge from the garrisons to become the working man’s sport, by assisting in the establishment of Boxing clubs throughout the country. Commissioner O’Duffy was somewhat of a visionary, who saw these Boxing clubs as a means of introducing Gardai into local communities. This work laid the foundation for the enduring relationship between members of An Garda Siochana and Boxing Clubs countrywide which continues to flourish to this very day. This is also evidenced in the GARDA/IABA Community Outreach programme (Hi Garda) this year where members of An Garda Siochana visit and interact with Boxing Clubs nationwide and meet young people where they feel comfortable and built bridges to form stronger, safer and happier communities. The aim of this programme is to act as a vehicle for early intervention, resulting in young people engaging with community Gardai in a positive manner. A strong bond of friendship and respect has been established over many years of collaborative work and engagement between An Garda Siochana and the IABA.” Members of An Garda Siochana have won national boxing titles and represented Ireland at national and international level. They have also won European and World Police Boxing titles. Brian Byrne has 6 national titles. Ger Lawlor, Paul Connolly, Willie Cooper, Larry Morrison, Eddie McDonnell and Christina Desmond all won national titles. Adam Nolan has represented Ireland at the 2012 Olympics. This celebratory card takes place at the National Stadium from 7pm on September 23rd; 10 bouts will be down for decision. Tickets, priced at €10 for adults and €5 for children under 14, will be available on the door. The Garda Siochana Boxing club wish to thank Michael Gill and Liffey Crane Hire for their support in celebrating the 100 year anniversary of the Garda Boxing Club when they compete against the heroes of 9.11 the New York Fire Department. ← Team Ireland Squad to contest European Junior Championships Named.

__label__cc	0.598258	0.401742	The Ndebele traditional wedding ceremony by idealweddings September 4, 2020 September 5, 2020 0265 The marriage ceremony in the Ndebele tradition is considered very important. It’s not just about two people being joined together but also an event that signifies the beginning of a relationship between two families. Ntombizodwa Mzila Hlatshwayo and Mqondisi Nyoni had their Ndebele traditional ceremony, themed ‘Ndebele with a modern twist’, on the 17th of March. First, Mqondisi’s uncles went to Ntombizodwa’s home to pay off the lobola (dowry). They also brought with them gifts and groceries for the bride’s parents. The day after the payment of lobola was the wedding day. The Ndebele culture requires that there be a slaughtering of an animal as the groom is introduced to the ancestors. The slaughtering of the cow is a way of recognizing their ancestors. So a cow was slaughtered as Mqondisi was introduced to Ntombizodwa’s ancestors and as per tradition, her aunt prepared ‘Utshwala besintu’. The following day, Ntombizodwa, in the company of her aunts and sisters went to Mqondisi’s family home where almost the same procedure was done. Ntombizodwa was now being introduced to the Nyoni family. The Nyoni family slaughtered a goat as required by tradition. The bile was then made into a necklace that the aunt took back to Ntombizodwa’s father as a sign that their child had been well received into the Nyoni family and had been introduced to their ancestors. The Ndebele have their distinctive clothing which is characterized by colors, patterns, and textures (fur and hide). Since Ntombizodwa and Mqondisi had chosen to modernize their attires, they chose color and pattern which were paired with modern fabric. What was interesting and validating to the couple was that, after the ceremony, they took a walk to the city center, Bulawayo, still dressed in their attires. An old man approached them and told them he admired how they were proud of their culture and passerby’s whistled as a lot of cars honked at them. It made them feel special. Having a modern wedding is not a must. Ntombizodwa and Mqondisi were satisfied with their traditional wedding and if they re to have a modern wedding, it would be maybe four years from now. As for advice to future brides, Ntombizodwa says: “Do not overthink things, try to do as much as you can yourself instead of just showing up for the wedding.” Ndebele wedding 8 roles of the Maid of Honour ‘Our Ideal Wedding Planner’: The wedding planning resource A decade of dating: No love lost Fearless couple: A wedding in the ‘forbidden period’ The hommies that became lovers four × four =	cc/2023-06/en_middle_0014.json.gz/line35

I love it because it reminds me how old I am—well, actually, that isn’t my favorite reason—and how those events and things I believe are part of our culture don’t even appear as a blip in the minds of seventeen- and eighteen-year-olds entering college. I read this list every year—here’s the link to the latest list http://www.beloit.edu/mindset/ My favorite list came out a few years ago. I first heard about it in the September 21, 2009, issue of TIME magazine when Nancy Gibbs wrote this: The Mindset List is a “dictionary of all the deeply ingrained cultural references that will make to sense to students of the incoming class. This year’s freshmen were typically born in 1991. That means, the authors explain, they have never used a card catalog to find a book; salsa has always outsold ketchup; women have always outnumbered men in college; there has always been blue Jell-O.” I remember hours spent going through card catalogs when I was in college. And, when I was in college, men outnumbered women three-to-one. Of course, that did little for me, a humanities major, because most of these guys majored in agriculture or engineering, fields pretty much closed to women way back then. Think of the phrases students today don’t really understand: both dial and hang up the phone, a broken record. In the future, it may be these will be explained in books that tells us what “the whole nine yards” means. Both my husband and I have Kindles and will not return to reading real books. He also uses salsa on his scrambled eggs. And I prefer red Jello although I’ll eat any color of M&Ms. What changes do you see around you? What do you remember that today’s kids know nothing about? I’d love to hear from you. Christopher Robin’s house is for sale! August 23, 2012 Butternut Creek, Musings, Reading, WritingA.A. Milne, Christopher Robin, Eeyore, Piglet, Winnie the PoohJane I gr ew up with Christopher Robin, Winnie-the-Pooh, Piglet, Eeyore, and Rabbit and his friends and relations. When I was sick, my mother used to read the stories to me, changing the name of Christopher Robin to Monica Jane (my real and legal names). My younger sister even put, “How sweet to be a cloud” to music she made up. I can still sing it. In high school, I had a friend who used to quote Milne’s poem, “Now I am six and . . .” while George loves the poem which begins, “King John was not a good man. . .” The Winnie-the-Pooh stories even influenced my writing. In The Welcome Committee of Butternut Creek, Charley the plumber gets stuck in a cabinet in the same way Pooh bear did in the hole to Rabbit’s house. Adam thinks he may have to starve Charley until he’s thin enough to pull himself out–as Rabbit had to do with that silly bear. However, I didn’t allow Adam to hang his wash on Charley’s legs. The original illustrations are wonderful, line drawings which suggest and define the characters. Children who grew up on the Disney version have missed out on the delight of the E.H. Shepard drawings. Here’s a link so you can appreciate them. http://bibliodyssey.blogspot.com/2008/11/original-winnie-pooh-drawings.html I’m writing this because a friend on Facebook posted that the house on Pooh corner is for sale, the one where A.A. Milne wrote the books and Christopher Robin came down the stairs with his bear bumping down behind him. I emailed the information to my husband. He says we can’t buy the house but that doesn’t matter. I love the memories this news evoked and it is a little above our price range. However, if you’re interested, here’s the link.

The Draft Phase by The Husband August 21, 2012 Guest blogger, Pets, Writingcats, drtaft phrase, editing, George Perrine, the husband, writer's chairJane A guest blogger joins us today: my husband George. He’s here to share the highs and lows of living with a writer. He may exaggerate a little. My favorite author and dearly beloved wife of 46 years announced yesterday, “I finished the book,” I knew several things. One, she is still nowhere near her deadline; Jane is a twit who used to do her homework on Friday afternoon. Two, she is entering the Draft Phase (it could be called Rewrite Time) during which she will do four (or more) complete rewrites of said book. And three, I’m going to see a lot more of her for a while. Five years ago we retired to a three bedroom, two bath apartment, and you would think we would see a lot of each other. But we communicate largely through email and intercom from my study to hers because this is really a one bedroom, two study, two bath apartment. In Draft Phase, however, Jane will use the Editing Chair, and it is in the living room so I will have to actually see her physical presence from time to time. The Editing Chair. Jane has lower back problems (Duh! She’s a writer!) But she is also horribly cheap, after years of her pain I convinced her that a good chair, although expensive, would be worth it. And we bought a Scandinavian objet d’art that is the most comfortable thing ever sat upon and has table attached which holds the draft copy at a perfect height. With its ottoman and its kitty furniture and red pen table next to it, this whole configuration occupies most of one end of our living room. Her Cheapness also allowed me to buy her a laser printer a few years ago because it prints so quickly, but I know she still uses the ink-jet printer because she believes it is cheaper. And she will run a complete draft of the book, three-hole punch it, and place it in a binder. The electric hole puncher keeps me out of the loop at this point. This used to be my odious duty because Jane insists on reusing her paper for different drafts and it was really really hard to keep the drafts straight. So picture the great author: in her nightie, feet up on the ottoman, back comfortable in her big chair, cat on its stand providing a Muse, binder on the table, red pen in hand—she’s editing up a storm as long as she doesn’t have to go potty. It’s nearly impossible to get out of that chair!

Tomorrow! Review of For Such a Time as This by Ginny Aiken August 16, 2012 Reading, ReviewBible, faith, For Such a Time as This, Ginny Aiken, inspiration, review, romanceJane Ginny Aiken has written more books than I can count. On top of that, she’s written all kinds of books: short and long, humorous and wrenchingly moving as well as filled with suspense. She amazes me because at any length or any depth of emotion, whatever she writes is terrific. Her first book in the THE WOMEN OF HOPE series, For Such a Time as This, was released Tuesday. In her books in this series, Ginny takes a story from the Bible and set it in more modern times. For Such a Time as This takes place in Oregon in the year 1879. My favorite books by Ginny have always been the short, humorous ones. so I approached this novel with some misgiving which turned out to be misplaced. This longer and deeply touching novel fascinated me and it also had Ginny’s trademark humor sprinkled throughout. The setting of the small town is beautifully described with historical details that made me feel as if I, too, were in Bountiful, experiencing the struggle of the farmers against drought and insects. The characters are artfully and clearly drawn. I loved Olivia’s rambunctious family and the children she cares for as well. Elijah and Olivia come across as strong but flawed, often stubborn but loving people. They grow, both as people and together as husband and wife although they can’t admit that–until the twist that tests them but not Olivia’s faith. I look forward to the next novels in this series. Ginny Aiken: Where do you get your amazing idea? August 14, 2012 Guest bloggerballet, Cuba, For Such a Time as This, Ginny Aiken, ideas, where do you get your ideas?Jane Today I’m delighted to welcome my friend and marvelous writer Ginny Aiken to my blog. Her latest book, For Such a Time as This, the first in her Women of Hope Series, is available now from FaithWords! It’s a great book which I’ll review that on Thursday. Thanks for stopping by, Ginny. You’re on! I used to be stumped when asked where I got my ideas. Recently, I’ve accepted a simple fact. Yes, I’m a sponge, soaking up random stuff around me. That includes TV news, overheard snippets at fast-food restaurants, and my secret source. What’s that, you ask? My crazy-weird life! I’m the mother of four sons. Imagine the wacko scenarios over the years. Also, imagine the parade of teen-aged boys that trooped through our home. You might also figure things have settled down now that the nest is empty. You’d figure wrong. Things are as insane as ever. A couple of years ago, my agent said, “Please don’t send me a memoir. No editor would consider it. They’d say all that can’t happen to one human.” He was right. No one would believe it. But it’s true. Starting with the rabid-dog bite when I was three (Yes, I do remember, in a blur, the doctors, pain, and Mom’s tears), followed by the start of ballet training, and winding up with our family’s risky flight from Castro’s Cuba very early after his takeover, all before my sixth birthday, and you can see where the madness began. Then came the parenting-four-boys years, including sports teams’ worth of friends, the marching band that crashed at our house, the drum corps years…more hair-raising adventures. Guess when my writing career solidified? If you think the madness ended when the last kiddo left for college, then you’re mistaken. My latest situation, in no way offspring-related, includes un-sought and unwanted hands-on research into identity theft and checking-account-hacking. Plenty of as-you-go writing ideas. Think I’m going to squander them? No way! I’ve been writing too long to tolerate such waste. Someday, you’ll see a Ginny Aiken book that features checking-account-theft. But please wait. I have to see how our case—ahem…my research turns out. Writing is my budget-wise mental-health plan. Who needs a shrink when you can resolve any situation however you want on paper? That’s the beauty of being a writer. You can edit anything you put on paper, even kill off the cyber-thieves—er…the wrong-doers. Thank goodness! I’d be a neurotic mess, in solitary confinement, in a white room, tied into a lovely white jacket, humming in monotone, otherwise. That’s the secret source of ideas for my books. My friend Ginny Aiken August 13, 2012 Coming up, Guest bloggerdyslexia, Love Inspired, The OvercomersJane The writing world is odd and small. We run into some authors over and never meet others. However, I’ve been fortunate to bump into Ginny several times. We both wrote for Love Inspired and Ginny still does. While we were writing for Love Inspired, another author confessed she was dyslexic and had always been embarrassed about this. About ten of us writers for Love Inspired said we were dyslexic as well and we weren’t a bit ashamed of that. Ginny and I have learning disabilities and–together with three other Love Inspired writers–told our stories of how faith helped us overcome our problems. The title of that book is–not unexpectedly–The Overcomers. We self-published that book, available at amazon.com. THEN, shortly after I signed my three-book contract with FaithWords, I discovered Ginny had, too. Yes, we keep bumping into each other. In Ginny’s three book series, each book will place a story about a woman in the Bible in a much more modern setting. Here’s a list of the book in her THE WOMEN OF HOPE series: For Such a Time as This, available now! Remember Me When, June 2013 She Shall Be Praised, 2014 I’ve read FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS and loved it. Look for a review here Thursday. Tomorrow Ginny will blog on her fantastic and incredibly busy life. I’m so glad she found time to drop in here. Goodbye, dear friends August 12, 2012 Church, Holidays, MusingsGoodbyeJane Our beloved minister of eleven years has been called to serve another congregation. It is a wonderful opportunity for him, a blessing for the new church. For us, there is sorrow and hope. We will miss Tim, Amy, Ben, and Mary-Austin but we also know a new minister will challenge us and lead us down new roads. Soon we will love him or her very much because they are welcome in our open and affirming family. Yes, we will miss Tim. Life changes but God is eternal. Soccer or badminton: you have a choice August 9, 2012 Holidays, Musings, Olympicsbadminton, boxing, labels, soccerJane When the Olympics began, I had every event taped which pretty much cut down on watching anything else. When I culled the huge number of hours I’d saved, I looked at the description of each. If the information described a sport I didn’t have much interest in, I erased it without even viewing. I mean, so many events, so little time! Then I discovered most of the information about what was on at a specific time was wrong. I’d erased events I wanted to see because, instead of women’s soccer they were labeled badminton. Please, all you fans of badminton, I apologize for insulting your favorite sport. We used to play it all the time in our backyard but we looked nothing like those who play it on an Olympic level. However, it is not an exciting sport to watch. The only exciting part was that eight players were kicked out for cheating and did it so badly that the spectators booed them. But, due to the incorrect information, I had hours of that and little of the first soccer games. This mislabeling turn me to a more philosophical frame of mind: the way we expect certain behavior or talents or attitudes by the way we label people. We often don’t give them a chance because of how we’ve labeled them. One of the most exciting part of the Olympics to me was watching women from countries that had never sent a woman to the Olympic compete. None of them moved up so some might say this proved nothing other than they couldn’t compete. To me, the important and exciting part was that those countries allowed them to be there. The same is true of women’s boxing. I truly have difficulty with women hitting other women, especially now that we know so much about brain damage, but if men are allowed to inflict injury on each other, don’t the athletes deserve that choice? What’s your opinion about labeling? And what’s your favorite sport? Did you get to watch as much of it as you wanted?	cc/2023-06/en_middle_0014.json.gz/line38

__label__wiki	0.584285	0.584285	Home/Stock/: Home votes to ban China from getting U.S. oil reserves, as prime analyst dismisses invoice : Home votes to ban China from getting U.S. oil reserves, as prime analyst dismisses invoice Michael 2 weeks ago The Republican-led House of Representatives on Thursday voted 331-97 in favor of a bill that would block U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve releases from going to China, with 113 House Democrats joining all of the chamber’s 218 GOP lawmakers in backing the measure. The bill isn’t expected to find traction in the Democratic-controlled Senate. What’s more, analysts have suggested that the legislation isn’t offering a smart approach. “It’s a great opportunity to be perceived as tough on China, but I think Chinese policy and energy policy is much, much more nuanced than you see by these bold strokes and fits of pique,” said Tom Kloza, global head of energy analysis at the Oil Price Information Service. OPIS is a unit of Dow Jones, publisher of MarketWatch. “It’s kind of a silly little exercise,” Kloza said in an interview on Wednesday. “The reality is when you sell SPR, you’re going to sell it to multinational companies, and they’re going to tend to go to the places where it’s needed, and that may be India or China in a lot of different instances.” In a similar vein, other analysts told FactCheck.org last year that whether SPR releases remain in the U.S. or go elsewhere isn’t that relevant, and what is more important is whether the releases add supply to a global market and thereby help keep prices in check for Americans. The bill approved Thursday is the Protecting America’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve from China Act. It would prevent the U.S. Energy Department from selling SPR products to any entity tied to the Chinese Communist Party, unless the products won’t be exported to China. “House Republicans have a plan to stop President Biden from sending our emergency fuel supply to China,” said the office of House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, a Louisiana Republican, in a news release. “We cannot allow the Biden administration to bolster China’s national security at our own expense.” It’s probably not possible to know how much of the SPR releases ended up in China, according to Kloza of OPIS. Data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration, for example, show the U.S. exported 10 million barrels of crude CL00, BRN00, to China in October overall, with that figure including more than just SPR oil. About 12 million barrels went to Canada in October, 13 million went to South Korea in that month, and large amounts were also exported from the U.S. to other countries, but there is often then additional transportation from one nation to yet another destination, Kloza said.

The House on Tuesday voted 365-65 in favor of establishing the new committee aimed at Beijing — the Select Committee on the Strategic Competition Between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party. The Biden administration rolled out a release from the SPR in November 2021, then went big in March 2022 with what the White House touted as “the largest release of oil reserves in history.” Oil futures CLG23, BRNH23, rose Thursday, helped by a report showing U.S. inflation softening and optimism over China’s reopening of its economy.

WHO IS PEGGY KAYE? Well, that would be me. But my name doesn't tell you very much, so allow me to continue. (Or feel free to scroll your way past this bit of biographical history.) I started teaching children in the early 1970s. Somehow, in eight years, I managed to teach every grade from kindergarten through sixth. Whenever possible, I invented games to use with my students -- games to help them master crucial skills. Thinking that parents might enjoy these activities, I started sending home a newsletter with game instructions. Not all the games were hits, but quite a few were. After a time, I had a slew of parent tested and child approved activities. It occurred to me that I might even have enough for a book. Fortunately, I met an editor who thought parents (and teachers, too) would be receptive to a book of educational games. The result: Games for Reading: Playful Ways to Help Your Child Read. Four books followed -- a book of math games, Games for Math, a book of games to help children learn to write, Games for Writing, a book of reading, writing, and math games, Games for Learning, and a book of games based on classic children's books, Games with Books. All-in-all, that's 358 games. WHY START A WEBSITE? All of the games in the GAMES books are decidedly and purposely low-tech. For the most part, all that's needed to play are: a willing adult, an interested child, and a few easy-to-obtain items like paper, crayons, or a deck of cards. I hope that peggykaye.com will offer a high-tech way to make these low-tech games accessible to a growing audience of parents, teachers, aunts, uncles, friends. PEGGYKAYE.COM NOW.. Right now at peggykaye.com you can: - download a handful of the 358 games in the five Games books - download drawings for your child to color - use links to visit other interesting sites Soon, there will be a new set of games, new pages to color and an extended games chart. WHAT DOES THE FUTURE HOLD? Here are some possibilities: An archive of games A message board to share games, experiences, thoughts. A question and answer service.

Revision as of 16:09, 17 July 2014 by Robert Bowdidge (talk \| contribs) Pratt-Low Preserving Company American Home Foods was an American food processor. The company manufactured Clapp baby food, Duff's cake mix[1], and other food. The company merged with the Pratt-Low Preserving Company in 1960. American Home Foods in San Jose American Home Foods moved to the San Jose area in 1943[2]. Part of their purpose in moving was to manufacture food for wounded World War II soldiers. Its initial site was the then-idle United States Products cannery at Race and Moorpark in San Jose. Company officers also claimed the move was for better produce: "The yield we get from produce in San Jose is far greater than areas housing our other plants... Originally we intended to build the San Jose Clapp plant in the Middle West-- but San Jose's strategic location and her exceptionally good raw materials production made us change our minds... We expected higher costs of operation in San Jose than in the East. But our experience has proven these costs are much lower." - H.W. Roden, President of American Home Products[3].

The Etla Valley, all covered with loving milpas, was preparing to receive the mysteries of the night. The house of "Garra de Jaguar (Jaguar claw) was full of friends and relatives, especially laborious women, who were preparing everything for the big event. Flor Menudita (Thin Flower), his wife, was about to give birth to the fruit of their love, that for nine months carried in her womb. The midwife had arrived five days ago, it was the custom that she prepared food and directed younger women, who were learning and served with emotion. The friends of Jaguar claw for their part, in addition to bringing food for the consumption of guests and aides, had encouragement words for the future father. Jaguar claw now understood why his heart was trapped by the energy of Thin flower. As his son birth neared, all emotions came together to his chest. He was fulfilling his destiny. The night completely covered the fertile valley. The light of torches and bonfires lit the town houses, which were preparing to rest. Suddenly, the sky illuminated by a huge full moon was obscured by an invasion of black and heavy clouds, which presaged a storm. The midwife, wise and nature knowing woman, realized that this night would fall a huge storm and the child would be born.

__label__wiki	0.784925	0.784925	By Houssein Mouhoumed This is the first of our series of interviews with young BIPOC Mainers who are making an impact in the community. Check our website for new interviews. “I raise my voice not so that I can shout, but so that those without a voice can be heard.” – Malala Yousafzai [SJ1] This quote reflects the conversation we had with Kasandra Thach, an articulate, outspoken, and inspiring young woman on a beautiful Saturday afternoon over Zoom. As we saw in the summer of 2020, young people of color have been at the forefront of the fight against social injustice in our country—and Kasandra’s activism is no exception. Her work resulted in Modern Woodmen of America nominating her as a hometown hero to Portland, Maine in October of this year, alongside her friend and mentor, Ali Ali. [SJ2] As a core leader of Maine Youth Justice, active opponent of youth incarceration, and founder of The Portland Butterfly Project, a homeless person’s advocacy group, Kasandra has spent years fighting for her community and credits that to her privileged experience of receiving a private education and gaining incredible community support. Born to Serbian and Cambodian immigrants, 20-year-old Kasandra grew up in Portland and attended public school until she was accepted into Waynflete School in Portland’s West End. In high school, she says she faced a lot of criticism from her friends. “I was ashamed and made fun of for the fact that I was given the opportunity to attend a private school while my friends were going to public school, but I now understand that they were only upset because they were not granted the same opportunities,” Kasandra said. “It made me upset because we both knew how much we deserved. They just weren’t being challenged in the same way, and it was usually because they were often doubted as students of color.” Because of this, Kasandra says she spent a lot of time at school where she felt safe and understood by adults who supported her and saw potential in her. This later translated into her passion for advocating access to proper education for all and noting how evident inequalities are within all educational systems. She specifically recalls one teacher, Sue Stein, who continuously encouraged and advised her to use her voice for what she believed in. Kasandra says she really found her purpose after her teacher pushed her to join activist-based groups where she would later meet a young local activist, Ali Ali, an organizer with Maine Youth Justice. After connecting with Ali, Kasandra was offered to join MYJ (Maine Youth Justice) in their fight to close the last youth prison in Maine, Long Creek Detention Center. Since then, Kasandra and her peers began working and advocating for the Maine Legislature to pass LD 1668, a bill they have specifically designed to shut down the last standing youth prison in Maine with additional plans to reinvest the annual $18 million budget to “a continuum of community-based alternatives” for incarcerated or convicted minors. Although the bill passed both the house and senate with ongoing support from the community, Governor Janet Mills continued to veto the bill back in June 2021. Kasandra expressed her frustration as she felt Mill’s ignored all the work MYJ and her state had done. “I honestly don’t know how to feel about the decision. I was so defeated after Governor Mills vetoed our bill especially because my team was not given any opportunity to sit down with her to discuss our alternatives regarding LD 1668. It does not end here though! We have a lot more planned.” Kasandra has not let it get her down too badly. She made sure to note how far her team has come in only two years. Aside from her work with MYJ, she continued to further The Portland Butterfly Project, which she founded in 2020 to help the unhoused community in the greater Portland area. She credits her time fundraising for and donating to the City Hall encampment protest in July 2020 with inspiring her to start the organization. “With the help of my uncle who was the first to donate, I decided to use the $100 donation to show how much can come out of it! I started handing out small essential kits to the homeless community who were at that time at Deering Oak Park, and it all ignited from there.” Kasandra received even more support and donations after recording the event and posting it on her social media platforms. “The project’s mission has evolved over the year as more people have become aware of us,” Kasandra says. “And now our mission is to educate Maine and support the homeless community by hand-delivering packages of hope and posting content when possible.” When we asked what the Butterfly Project has planned for this year, Kasandra shared an inside scoop of some exciting plans for the holidays. “After receiving the Hometown Hero Award, I was offered a collaboration with the Windham High school Health and Advocacy Group. We are planning to provide toys to those in need for a special Christmas. These young students are incredible, and I am so grateful they want to turn this into something more magical than I ever anticipated.” Aside from being an activist, college student, and active member of the community, Kasandra also runs a small business that she founded during the pandemic as a hobby. K.sweeets is a social media-based chocolate-covered sweets service that helps customers like you “bring unique gift ideas to life through chocolate and fruits.” You can check her works out on Instagram @K.sweeets.[SJ3] “I pride myself on having a range of affordable options that fit both your budget and tummy! It is important to me that each order is unique to you, and that you have complete control over the message you want your sweets to give!” Kasandra says. Kasandra is always on the move looking to broaden her menus; in fact, she just recently launched her newest goodies: Cocoa Bombs, also better known as Hot cocoa! Her goal is to expand the menu to fit every occasion this holiday season. As we ended our interview, Kasandra shared how important a community is to thrive. “My life could have been so different, but I want these kids to know that they too can be heroes of their communities but only if they are given the proper resources to do so. It is not their job to find those resources or find ways to maneuver through the world that can be unjust. It is the government’s job to make sure that we provide that security in every environment possible. These kids are our futures and they will shine once we dismantle the harmful systems that we still normalize to this day.” Kasandra ends with a call to action for all readers: “I urge you all to keep fighting for what you believe in. Governor Janet Mills must do her job and part of that is listening to youths’ voices. Call, email, and speak for those who cannot. You can do it. Your voice matters.” by Houssein Mouhoumed PORTLAND, Maine — The State’s largest school district will receive a grant… previous post: COVID-19 cases surge in Maine amid new variant next post: YOUTH BIPOC SPOTLIGHT: Qutaiba Hassoon, One of Forest Ave’s Newest Restaurant Owners	cc/2023-06/en_middle_0014.json.gz/line84

Here are some cautionary tales from the famous Palmyra Atoll National Wildlife Refuge, close to Hawaii in the Pacific Ocean, and one of the largest reef systems in the region. In January 1999, Angela Croome estimated that there have been about three million shipwrecks worldwide (an estimate rapidly endorsed by UNESCO and other organizations My book on Sustainability in the Fourth Industrial Revolution, called ‘Soul of the Sea in the Age of the Algorithm,’ focuses on an Ocean and Climate Renaissance and builds on my experience as an Economic and Innovation adviser to Fortune 500 CEOs and Governments around the world. It took many years from the US Fish and Wildlife Service to remove the Hui Feng No 1 wreck and provides an important lesson why it is almost always more important for the salvage and removal of a wreck to happened shortly after a vessel is grounded than ever to sink it. This part of the ocean floor is called the ‘benthos’ and many unique and undiscovered species live here. As a size comparison, the MV Wakashio is almost ten times longer at 1000 feet, making it one of the largest vessels in the ocean. It looks like the curse of the Wakashio will continue to haunt the Indian Ocean, until there is greater transparency around this story and a credible science-based approach to any cleanup. A one-of-a-kind diving experience, the sunken aircraft carrier USS Oriskany is the largest artificial reef in the world. 2020 to 2030 was supposed to be the UN’s Decade of Ocean Science under UNESCO.

USFW has removed 1 million lbs of shipwrecks. QTY. Such decisions should not be taken lightly, and there is a growing amount of scientific research that reveal a lot of unintended consequences from well intended actions in different parts of the world. The world is only just beginning to discover the true value of life on the ocean, as it faces other pressures from humans such as climate change and industrial scale overfishing. Humans have only had a good understanding of 0.05% of the ocean floor where they have visited, photographed or surveyed to 1 meter resolution. At this time we could read the name of the ship on the deck at the bow. Submerged shipwrecks are the most common form of artificial reef. It could be the start of something far deadlier.

However questions have also been raised about its direction, intention and what would happen if a vessel of this size was sunk at sea in a place where deep ocean currents could bring any contaminating materials still left on the vessel toward fragile ecosystems, or impact the complex biological food chains that may exist at such depths and in locations that whales come seasonally as part of an annual migration.

The dirt oval in Paige hosts the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series on Friday and Saturday. It marks the first races for Sides in three weeks after last weekend's action rained out. "You want to race, but when Mother Nature is around she usually wins this time of year," he said. "The last few years it seems like we've raced a little bit, got going and had to stop again. It honestly feels normal." Sides has competed in four previous World of Outlaws main events at the track, earning career-best 14th-place finishes in 2018 and last year. "We were there a couple of times and it got rained out," he said. "We went there last year and it seems like they've got the place a little racier. I'm looking forward to going somewhere we've been so you know what you are doing from the start. This kicks off our year before going to California. It's always good to get out there and see everybody. We've done decent there in the past, but it all depends on how the night starts out." This weekend marks the start of a long road trip for Sides as the World of Outlaws ventures to the West Coast for three straight weeks in California before invading the Midwest.

__label__cc	0.60283	0.39717	Chiddingly Village Shop & Café The friendly village shop – community owned & run Chiddingly had a wonderful old-fashioned village shop for over 100 years located a stone’s throw from the Six Bells pub and the church. It closed down in 1998 when the owners eventually retired and no-one could be found to take it on. About 10 years later, a campaign was mounted to set up a new shop, this time to be community-owned and run. Thanks to contributions from many locals in exchange for shares, as well as grants from several organisations, a new shop was created in a new location (Farleys Yard, Muddles Green – opposite Farleys Gallery) yet still within the environs of Chiddingly. It opened in August 2012 so in 2017 we celebrated a big milestone – its fifth anniversary! The Grand Opening in 2012 The village’s oldest and youngest residents cut the 5th anniversary cake, 2017 However, after over five years, the shop’s original sign was getting shabby, so in 2018 it was replaced with a shiny new version. More recently we have added an all weather umbrella making the patio useable all year around, come rain or shine. Chiddingly Village Shop & Cafe is staffed by a paid part-time manager, paid Saturday staff (providing first employment opportunities for younger people in the village), and a team of volunteers who work behind the counter, behind the scenes and as part of a management committee. Our volunteers come from all walks of life and span a wide age range, but they all share an enthusiastic commitment to the shop and derive great satisfaction from volunteering. And without them, our lovely community shop & cafe would not exist! Working in the shop is an excellent way to get to know new people, both within the village and from some distance away. You’re never too old to learn new things and everyone who works behind the counter has mastered our coffee machine and our till, and has also taken a basic food hygiene course. Those who are busy during shop hours, or prefer to help in other ways, offer their services for free in ways such as marketing, keeping our window boxes and café vases freshly maintained, organising fundraising activities, taking a role on the shop committee, or even cooking winter soups for the café. Our team at the annual Volunteers BBQ, Summer 2019 Wine tasting at our annual late night Christmas shopping event Could you or someone you know spare 2-4 hours per week to volunteer in our friendly community shop & cafe? Full training provided, and you’re welcome to do a trial shift to see if you like it. We can adapt to suit your availability and look forward to welcoming you on board!

This is the common definition for Turbidity maximum, other definitions can be discussed in the article 1 Suspended sediment concentration in the estuarine turbidity maximum 2 Formation of the turbidity maximum 3 Fluid mud 4 Tidal flat accretion 5 Influence of river discharge 6 Infill of estuaries 7 Influence of dredging 8 'False' turbidity maxima 9 Environmental impact 10 Related articles Suspended sediment concentration in the estuarine turbidity maximum The presence of a turbidity maximum is a common feature of estuaries with substantial tidal motion. The term turbidity maximum suggests that it corresponds to a particular location in an estuary. In fact, it is a broad zone where concentrations of fine suspended sediment are much higher than in the upstream river or in the adjacent sea, where concentrations of fine suspended sediment are generally below 100 mg/l and often even below 10 mg/l. The suspended sediment concentration (SSC) in the turbidity maximum can be very high, up to several g/l averaged over the water column. A typical example of a turbidity maximum is shown in Fig. 1. The suspended sediment concentration in the turbidity maximum depends on the supply of fine sediments from fluvial and marine sources. Erosion of ancient mud deposits in the estuary can also play a role. The most important factor, however, is the trapping efficiency of the estuary, i.e. the efficiency of hydrodynamic processes to retain fine sediments that have entered the estuary and to prevent their escape to the sea. These processes will be discussed in the next section. Figure 1: Turbidity maximum in the Loire estuary at low fluvial discharge. Suspended sediment concentration (SSC) is expressed on g/l. Top panel: Spring tide. Bottom panel: Neap tide. Source: Christine Bertier (2011)[1]. Formation of the turbidity maximum The formation of a turbidity maximum is due to hydrodynamic processes that promote upstream (landward) transport of fine suspended sediment. For macrotidal estuaries the most important processes are[2]: (1) Tidal asymmetry, generated by the non-linearity of tidal propagation in estuarine channels. This nonlinear tidal propagation results in shorter flood and longer ebb periods, with enhanced maximum flood currents and reduced maximum ebb currents, see Tidal asymmetry and tidal basin morphodynamics. Due to the strong dependence of sediment resuspension on flow velocity, the suspended sediment load carried by the flood currents is much higher than the suspended load carried by the ebb currents. This sediment import mechanism is sometimes designated by the term 'tidal pumping'. (It should be noted that in estuaries with substantial intertidal area, tidal asymmetry can be reversed, with stronger ebb than flood currents; however, such estuaries are more the exception than the rule.) Figure 2: Schematic representation of along-channel velocity (left) and vertical profiles of salinity (right, relative to dept-averaged value) for maximum flood and ebb flow, representative for observations in Rotterdam Waterway, see Estuarine circulation Fig. 5. The left figure shows ebb-dominant flow near the water surface and flood-dominant flow in the lower part of the water column. The right figure shows stronger stratification during ebb than during flood. (2) Estuarine circulation, the residual flow pattern in an estuary results from the horizontal density difference between seawater and river water. The residual up-estuary flow along the bed of the main channel carries a higher load of suspended sediment than the compensating seaward flow near the surface, see Estuarine circulation. Estuarine circulation interacts with flood and ebb flow in different ways (see Fig. 2): the near-bed velocity gradients and shear stresses are strengthened during flood and weakened during ebb. During the flood acceleration phase, high bed shear stresses stir sediments from the bed and from the turbid near-bed layer higher into the water column[3]. This further enhances the up-estuary sediment flux compared to the down-estuary sediment flux during ebb. (3) Stratification. Stratification is mainly due to the density difference between saline seawater and fresh river water (see Seawater density). However, in highly turbid estuaries ('hyperturbid estuaries') suspended sediment can also substantially contribute to density stratification and even dominate salinity stratification[4]. Ebb flow in estuaries is typically more stratified than flood flow. High bed shear stresses during flood promote vertical mixing, as explained above. Vertical mixing during flood is also a consequence of convective overturning during flood when saline seawater is advected over less dense estuarine water[5][6][7]. During ebb, low-density river water is advected over the saline (high density) near-bed layer, thus strengthening stratification. High turbidity estuaries become even more stratified in the phase of decelerating flood flow and at the onset of ebb flow, due to strong flocculation (the formation of macroflocs) and floc settling, which increases the density of the near-bed layer[4]. Stratification implies that estuarine outflow is mainly concentrated in the upper layer of the water column, with lower suspended sediment concentrations than in the near-bed layer. The turbid near-bed layer is eroded by the ebb flow in the surface layer, which becomes progressively thicker, carrying an increasing amount of sediment. Further upstream in the estuary the residual flow is dominated by river discharge. When the turbidity maximum has not yet built up, a convergence zone of suspended sediment transport exists where downstream suspended transport by river flow is of the same order as the upstream suspended sediment transport by estuarine circulation and tidal asymmetry. In this convergence zone, fine suspended sediment accumulates and forms a turbidity maximum. The convergence zone is generally situated around the location of maximum seawater intrusion. In estuaries with strong tides, tidal asymmetry is the major mechanism for upstream sediment transport[8][9][10][11]. In this case, the highest turbidity is found upstream of the location of maximum seawater intrusion. In microtidal estuaries, the turbidity maximum is mainly due to estuarine circulation and stratification processes; the location of the turbidity maximum is determined by the seawater intrusion length[12]. Fluid mud Figure 3: Fluid mud in the Loire estuary during neap tide and low fluvial discharge. Source: Christine Bertier (2011)[1]. Suspended sediment settles to the channel bed during periods of slack water, especially in the neap tidal phase of the fortnightly tidal cycle. Flocculation plays an important role as an accelerator of the sedimentation process[13]. In estuaries with a strong turbidity maximum, stratification is auto-enhanced by positive feedback between sediment settling and turbulence damping at the pycnocline. This self-stratification can generate a fluid mud layer when the near-bed fine suspended sediment concentration exceeds a few tens of g/l[14] (see Fig. 3 and Dynamics of mud transport). The density (weight) of the fluid mud layer can be such that it starts flowing in down-estuary direction while the flow in the upper layer is still in flood direction (decelerating flood phase). This gravity flow opposes the classical estuarine circulation and leads to a situation where the salinity in the upper layer is higher than the salinity in the near-bed layer[4][3]. When the current velocities during spring tide become sufficiently high, the fluid mud layer is (partly) resuspended and contributes to high turbidity levels, as illustrated in Fig. 1. Resuspension at the onset of flood is due to turbulence induced by bed shear stress as explained earlier. Surface water is entrained into the turbulent fluid mud layer which grows while being diluted[15]. In a study of the highly turbid Ems estuary, Winterwerp et al. (2017[16]) showed that destabilization and resuspension of the fluid mud layer requires flow velocities that are greater than the internal critical flow (the celerity of the internal wave on the mud interface, which is of the order of 1-1.3 m/s). In the Ems estuary, these velocities are exceeded during flood at spring tide, except in case of high river runoff. At high river runoff, flood velocities are reduced relative to ebb velocities and not sufficiently strong to stir up the fluid mud layer. Sediment export dominates sediment import under these conditions. Suspended sediment observations along the Ems estuary suggest that not all the mud is flushed out, but that a thin consolidating mud layer is left behindCite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many. Tidal flat accretion Figure 4: View of the Land van Saeftinghe, a large salt marsh adjacent to the turbidity maximum of the Westerschelde estuary. The marsh level is close to the highest astronomical tide; flooding occurs only occasionally. Photo credit Anita Eijlers. Part of the fine sediments of the turbidity maximum settles on the tidal flats and marshes bordering the main estuarine channel. This reduces the volume of suspended sediment in the turbidity maximum. Estuaries with large tidal flats are also less turbid because flood dominance and the associated import of marine sediment are reduced. The turbidity maximum generally covers a wide estuarine zone because it is advected along the estuary with the tide. Tidal flats situated in this zone are subject to fast accretion. The landward part of these tidal flats that are not subject to strong wave action, will rapidly grow to a level where flooding only occurs during the highest spring tides [17][18][19][20][21], as illustrated in Fig. 4. The growth process is stimulated by the development of marsh vegetation. The volume of suspended sediment in the turbidity maximum greatly increases when it is no longer possible to store fine sediment on the mud flats, because of their elevation or because they are reclaimed[22][23]. Fast siltation also takes place in adjacent harbour basins that are situated in the high turbidity zone (see Siltation in harbors and fairways). Figure 5: Position of the turbidity maximum in the Loire and Gironde estuaries for different fluvial discharges. For the Loire estuary, the mean fluvial discharge [math]\small Q_R=825 m^3/s[/math] and for the Gironde, [math]\small Q_R=1000 m^3/s[/math]. The turbidity maximum is further displaced seawards in the Loire estuary than in the Gironde estuary when the fluvial discharge equals twice the mean discharge. The Gironde estuary is therefore a more efficient sediment trap than the Loire estuary. The turbidity in the Gironde estuary is higher than in the Loire estuary. Data from Sottolichio and Castaing (1999) [24] and Christine Bertier (2011)[1]). Influence of river discharge The turbidity maximum can be flushed out of the estuary when the river discharge is sufficiently high[25][26], see Fig. 5. This happens mainly under spring tidal conditions, if the suspended sediment transport by river flow dominates transport by estuarine circulation and tidal asymmetry over the entire estuary[11]. In estuaries with such high peak discharges, the turbidity maximum does not become as high as in estuaries where the peak discharges are lower. Infill of estuaries If the peak discharge is not sufficient to flush the turbidity maximum to the open sea, most of the fine sediments will remain in the estuarine mouth zone. When the river discharge decreases, these sediments are re-imported into the estuary. The estuary then acts as trap for fine sediments. In this case a gradual infill of the estuary takes place. A mud bed forms when the fine sediment concentration exceeds 1000 g/l (see Dynamics of mud transport). The infill stops when the estuarine depth and width are reduced up to a point where peak river discharges can flush the fine sediments far enough into the sea. In this way the estuary evolves towards a dynamic equilibrium. Influence of dredging Many estuaries are dredged for navigation purposes. Channel dredging opposes the evolution towards an equilibrium state by strengthening estuarine circulation and reducing the fluvial flushing efficiency. The enhanced fine sediment trapping leads to high concentrations in the turbidity maximum and requires a corresponding increase of maintenance dredging. A strong increase of the turbidity maxima has been observed in several estuaries (e.g., Ems, Loire) after deepening of the estuarine entrance channel[27]. 'False' turbidity maxima Local elevation of suspended sediment concentrations, which may be erroneously be interpreted as a turbidity maximum, can result from interventions, for example dredging. The dumping of dredged sediment can locally increase suspended sediment concentrations to many 100s mg/l for prolonged periods of time. High river flows in the Scheldt river bring in fine sediment from beyond the weirs near Ghent, which temporarily accumulates in the upper reaches of the river, downstream of the weirs. Data would then suggest the formation of a turbidity maximum at high river flows, but obviously the underlying physical processes are different from the convergence processes explained above[28]. Turbidity maxima can also occur in the vicinity of local bed depressions that temporarily collect fluid mud[29] or at locations where turbid waters are discharged from tidal flats[30]. High turbidity prevents the penetration of sunlight into the water column and therefore suppresses oxygen production by phytoplankton. At the same time, oxygen is consumed by mineralization of the degradable organic components of the fine sediments trapped in the turbidity maximum, as a result of bacterial activity or chemical oxidation [31][32][33]. This is illustrated in Fig. 6 for the Loire estuary. High turbidity causes oxygen depletion and mortality of estuarine organisms. This is a serious problem in many estuaries, particularly during warm dry periods, when rapid mineralization occurs while mixing in the water column is suppressed due to density stratification (both salinity and fine sediment concentrations contribute to stratification at small river discharge [34]). The ecological impact of the turbidity maximum is greatly exacerbated in eutrophic estuaries, see also the article Possible consequences of eutrophication. Figure 6: Dissolved oxygen concentration in the Loire estuary at Cordemais (20 km from the mouth) for the years 2007-2011. Each year severe oxygen depletion occurs during the summer months. Oxygen depletion in the Loire estuary is stronger than in the more turbid Gironde estuary due to the larger fraction of degradable organic matter[33].

__label__wiki	0.593817	0.593817	Charlie Brown & Friends Still Sing For All Of Us At Slow Burn Posted on March 5, 2019 by Bill Hirschman Happiness is Kristi Rose Mills as Sally, Nicole Kinzel as Lucy, Rick Pena as Schroeder, Cameron Jordan as Charlie Brown, Sahid Pabon as Snoopy, and Robert Fritz as Linus in Slow Burn Theatre’s You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown / Photo by Ian Ibbetson By Bill Hirschman Charlie Brown is 68 years old, but as the musical You’re A Good Man Charlie Brown has proven year after year after year after year after year since 1967, Charles M. Schulz’s offspring remains ageless. Slow Burn Theatre Company’s penny bright power plant production reaffirms Schulz’s vision that the joys and fears, pleasures and disappointments of childhood remain secreted deep inside our adult exteriors. This edition glows during the musical numbers thanks to a solid corps of performers whose energy, chemistry and strong lung power deliver every song with unrestrained joy whether it be about a security blanket or a book report. The script scenes – mostly short vignettes that echo Schulz’s wry four-panel cartoons – are quite funny sometimes, poignant other times but unfortunately often simply don’t land. Having seen this before, a good guess is that Schulz’s quiet observations that seem cute on newsprint don’t translate well into three dimensions on stage. The only thing that saves it here is this indefatigable cast pitching each skit with complete commitment. Still, the juxtaposition of children expressing what we’d think are adult sentiments is still drolly entertaining such as Sally saying “I was jumping rope and suddenly it all seemed to be so futile.” Any adult of any age can plug into Charlie Brown’s sense of loneliness and worthlessness when he doesn’t get a single Valentine Day’s card while all his friends clutch handfuls. And their hearts will swell a bit when this rambunctious bunch bonds together at the end. The cast directed and choreographed by Patrick Fitzwater slips inside these roles without winking at the audience. Most have come up through the ranks as part of the unofficial Slow Burn Repertory Ensemble Company. A couple have had star spots, but mostly they have been second leads or chorus members. Having benefited from the growing opportunities (both senses of the word) at Slow Burn, this show underscores how a new generation of dependable actors is emerging and how this company has been nurturing them. For instance, Cameron Jordon, recently nominated for a Carbonell Award as the wild man narrator in Slow Burn’s Rock of Ages, is perfectly cast in the lead as the sweet hapless round-faced Charlie. It’s tough to make a fulcrum out of an eternal loser, but Jordan succeeds with a winsome appeal. Sahid Pabon, loyal member of a dozen ensembles, is the anthropomorphic Snoopy whose flights of fancy and imagination nearly stop the show with his ebullient song-and-dance numbers like “Suppertime.” Nicole Kinzel, yet another veteran of chorus lines for Slow Burn, MNM Theatre Company, Broward Stage Door and the Wick Theatre, finally gets a chance to show off her fine singing and comic chops in the spotlight as the crabby Lucy. Kristi Rose Mills, who had the female lead in Rock of Ages, is delightful as Sally, savoring the “My New Philosophy” number that made Kristin Chenoweth a star in the 1999 revival. Her partner on the song is Robert Fritz who dives into the persona of the thumb-sucking Linus. Rick Pena, an original Slow Burn company member who also creates the costumes, leads the cast in a paean to his hero Beethoven. Fitzwater’s dance ideas are charming such as Linus dancing with his blanket stretched out with an actor inside. The cast was drilled in the digitized score by musical director Michael Ursua. The scenic design by Jodi Dellaventura quoted Schulz’s simple colorful drawings, along with props by Matthew Korinko and Fitzwater. The 1967 musical was composed originally by Clark Gesner who acknowledged the script was penned by himself, cast members and even the production staff. In 1999, a revival featured additional dialogue by director Michael Mayer (American Idiot and Spring Awakening) and composer Andrew Lippa (The Wild Party) who added songs and jazzed up the arrangements. That production provided breakout Tony-winning roles for Chenoweth and Roger Bart as Snoopy. It’s all a pleasant evening that families can attend knowing that each age group will find something to bring a smile to their face. You’re A Good Man Charlie Brown presented by Slow Burn Theatre Company plays through March 10 at the Abdo New River Room, Broward Center For The Performing Arts, 201 SW 5th Ave., Fort Lauderdale.
