An evening of outstanding bel canto bliss with Victorian Opera's La sonnambula in concert
When Pratt took to the stage wearing a black bodiced gown of evening blue and long-draped smokey shawl, then catapulted her recitative and cavatina, "Care compagne - Come per me sereno", to extraordinary heights, a palpable change took hold that seemed to guarantee the magnificent night it was to become. Assured, relaxed and commanding a sense of effortless freedom, Pratt embodied the stupendous beauty of voice that places her as a leader in her art and gives the 21st century a new bel canto star. Every smoothly shaped phrase came with an emotively expressed and engaged magnetism that aided in deflecting attention away from her and onto the first joyous, then innocent, wrongly accused and aching-hearted Amina. Pratt's consummate professionalism shone through via her rapport with her colleagues and commitment to her understated acting while exuding soft and natural elegance befitting her presence as both a star performer and role interpreter. As Act 1 headed towards a colossal finale in which Elvino rejects Amina, Pratt's prowess with the most fragile pianissimo and ability to sustain length of note was a moving experience. From there, Pratt embarked on a blazing display of coloratura fireworks big enough to stun the city. Then, returning in a long black fitted gown in Act 2, Pratt maintained the perfection and natural warmth all the way to the jubilant finale.

Pratt takes the honours
Jessica Pratt proved more than equal to the task with admirable technical control and a fine characterization of open-hearted simplicity. Pratt gave us an excellent Amina, from her first appearance to the happy (and quick) resolution of the opera’s action. In the initial Come per me sereno cavatina, she demonstrated how to handle the composer’s thick fioriture, particularly in a throw-away piece of brilliance at non, non brillo (the sort of startling facility that typified Sutherland at her best), and again at a quicksilver non ha forza a sostener. In fact, Pratt sustained her role beyond expectations at the crucial point where she is spurned by Elvino, maintaining our sympathy throughout the D’un pensiero quintet and the following Act 1 finale where again the character yields dynamic and range primacy to her ex-fiance – whom any spirited girl outside opera would have now given up as a waste of space. But it’s Ah non credea mirarti that crowns the opera – a surprisingly non-flamboyant peak, but you can expect only a few flashes of brilliance from a sleepwalking heroine (unless you happen to be watching Lady Macbeth or Lucia). Pratt mirrored her opening aria’s happiness with a moving depiction of a credulous soul finding consolation in her dreams. But the pretty-well packed hall was waiting for the fireworks of Ah! non giunge, and Pratt didn’t disappoint...

Victorian Opera: La Sonnambula review
Besides the divine quality of her singing, a key facet of Pratt’s success is the meticulously considered control of her vocals. After opening aria “Care compagne” Pratt had already blown the audience away with her exquisite voice, and yet she had clearly held back as fitted the character and situation as part of a calibrated performance across the entire evening. In much the same way as in Lucia di Lammermoor last year, Pratt paid tribute to the great Dame Joan Sutherland, largely using the same ornamentations. Amina’s singing reaches a climax at the finale, with a pair of arias, one sorrowful, one joyful. Despite the dramatic moment, Pratt could not help but permit a sweet smile after “Ah! non credea mirarti,” such was the unbridled enthusiasm of the audience’s response. An interpolated high F at end of “Ah! non giunge uman pensiero” helped to bring the opera to a stunning close.

Review: La Sonnambula (Victorian Opera)
Which brings us to Jessica Pratt, who captivated from the moment she appeared on stage. It seemed improbable that she might surpass her rousing opening aria, Care compagne, yet as the evening progressed the audience grew increasingly rapturous, and Pratt led the opera to a spectacular close, reaching phenomenal heights in the final sections of Ah! non giunge uman pensiero. There is little more to say about Pratt that has not already been said many times before, and so I simply note that the rumours are true: her voice is exquisite, and Victorian Opera put on a damned good show.

Victorian Opera: La Sonnambula
Above all, we had come to hear Australian-born, Italian-based Pratt in her now annual appearance with Victorian Opera, which has been instrumental in the company bringing back bel canto favourites by Bellini and Donizetti to Melbourne stages (some rarely seen since Joan Sutherland’s day; and yes, there were positive whispers of comparison between the great dame and Pratt). With a stunning combination of talent and technique, she mesmerised the audience as Amina. Beautiful tone, flawless control, excellent diction, stratospheric top notes, agile trills, pianissimo that was, somehow, simultaneously delicate and powerful, expression that revealed a profound understanding of character and score – Pratt demonstrated the full arsenal of a great coloratura soprano. Brava!
Australian Book Review
Peter Rose
La Sonnambula (Victorian Opera)
Her singing was every bit as good as it was in that memorable Puritani. There were many highlights: Amina’s first aria, ‘Come per me sereno’ and the brilliant cabaletta that follows; her Act One duets with Elvino; ‘D’un pensiero e d’un accento’, the ensemble that closes that act. Then Amina is largely absent until the long scene that completes the opera, Ah! Non credea mirarti’. Here, softly or unaccompanied, the beauty of Pratt’s tone and the accuracy of her singing were at their most obvious. This magnificent aria (sung with great feeling by Maria Callas in a 1965 concert) was followed by a suitably exultant ‘Ah! Non giunge uman pensiero’ – one of the most celebrated cabalettas in the Italian repertoire.
Graham Ford
Exquisite! There was no other word for it... ...Although I own a number of recordings, I don’t have one in which the soprano would match what I heard from Jessica. Showing a restraint that is unusual in opera, the voice displayed was unfailingly beautiful. She only opened up in the big ensembles and nailed a beautiful high F at the end. It was a very special night. ...no one who was there will ever forget it.
John Daly-Peoples
Australian music: Victorian Opera's 'La Sonnambula'
From her opening “Care compagne” she had the audience enthralled as she invested the aria with amazing technical and emotional verve. Her voice was voluptuous and she had a robust stage presence, performing with a slight coquettishness that gave her a real sense of character. Her use of coloratura throughout the work added immensely to her performance, her voice towering over the other singers and orchestra, culminating in the final grand sextet: “Signor..che creder deggio.”

Victorian Opera’s La Sonnambula: energetic portrayal of a sleepwalker
In the title role of Amina, acclaimed international diva Jessica Pratt returned to Melbourne to head a superb cast...
Libretto written in italian by Felice Romani, was first premiered on a Sunday on March 06 of 1831
Some of the following information is cited from the Wikipedia website. For the original text please follow this link.
La sonnambula (The Sleepwalker) is an opera semiseria in two acts, with music in the bel canto tradition by Vincenzo Bellini set to an Italian libretto by Felice Romani, based on a scenario for a ballet-pantomime written by Eugène Scribe and choreographed by Jean-Pierre Aumer called La somnambule, ou L'arrivée d'un nouveau seigneur. The ballet had premiered in Paris in September 1827 at the height of a fashion for stage works incorporating somnambulism.

Act 1 Scene 1: A village, a mill in the background As the betrothal procession of Amina and Elvino approaches, the villagers all proclaiming joy for Amina, Lisa, the proprietress of the inn, comes outside expressing her misery: Tutto è gioia, tutto è festa...Sol per me non non v'ha contento / "All is joy and merriment... I alone am miserable". She is consumed with jealousy for she had once been betrothed to Elvino and had been abandoned by him in favour of Amina. The lovelorn Alessio arrives, but she rejects his advances. All assembled proclaim the beauty of Amina: In Elvezia non v'ha rosa / fresca e cara al par d'Amina / "In Switzerland there is no flower sweeter, dearer than Amina". Then Amina comes out of the mill with her foster-mother, Teresa. She is the owner of the mill and had adopted Amina many years before. Amina thanks her, also expressing her thanks to her assembled friends for their kind wishes. (Aria: Come per me sereno / oggi rinacque il di! / "How brightly this day dawned for me".) Additionally, she thanks Alessio, who tells her that he has composed the wedding song and organised the celebrations; she wishes him well in his courtship of Lisa, but Lisa cynically rejects the idea of love. Elvino arrives, exclaiming Perdona, o mio diletta / "Forgive me my beloved", and explaining that he had to stop on his way at his mother's grave to ask her blessing on Amina. As they exchange vows, the notary asks what she brings to the partnership: "Only my heart" she answers at which Elvino's exclaims: "Ah the heart is everything!". (Elvino's aria, then Amina, then all express their love and their joy: Prendi: l'anel ti dono / che un dì recava all'ara / "Here, receive this ring that the beloved spirit who smiled upon our love wore at the altar".) The sound of horses' hooves and a cracking whip is heard. A stranger arrives, asking the way to the castle. Lisa points out that it is getting late and he will not reach it before dark and she offers him lodging at her inn. When he says that he knows it, all are surprised. (Rodolfo's aria: Vi ravviso, o luoghi ameni, / in cui lieti, in cui sereni / "O lovely scenes, again I see you, / where in serenity I spent the calm and happy days of my earliest youth".) The newcomer, who surprises the villagers by his familiarity with the locality, asks about the celebrations and admires Amina, who reminds him of a girl he had loved long ago. (Tu non sai con quei begli occhi / come dolce il cor mi tocchi / "You can't know how those dear eyes gently touch my heart, what adorable beauty".) He admits to having once stayed in the castle, whose lord has been dead for four years. When Teresa explains that his son had vanished some years previously, the stranger assures them that he is alive and will return. As darkness approaches the villagers warn him that it is time to be indoors to avoid the village phantom: A fosco cielo, a notte bruna,/ al fioco raggio d'incerta luna / "When the sky is dark at night, and the moon's rays are weak, at the gloomy thunder's sound [....] a shade appears." Not being superstitious, he assures them that they will soon be free of the apparition. Elvino is jealous of the stranger's admiration of Amina; he is jealous even of the breezes that caress her, but he promises her he will reform. (Duet finale, Elvino and Amina: Son geloso del zefiro errante / che ti scherza col crin e col velo / "I envy the wandering breeze that plays with your hair, your veil..") Scene 2: A room in the inn Lisa enters Rodolfo's room to see if all is well. She reveals that his identity is known to all as Rodolfo, the long-lost son of the count. She advises him that the village is preparing a formal welcome; meanwhile she wishes be the first to pay her respects. She is flattered when he begins a flirtation with her, but runs out at the sound of people approaching, dropping her handkerchief which the Count picks up. He sees the approaching phantom who he recognises as Amina. She enters the room, walking in her sleep, all the while calling for Elvino and asking where he is. Realising that her nocturnal wanderings have given rise to the story of the village phantom, Rodolfo is about to take advantage of her helpless state. But then he is struck by her obvious innocence and refrains: (Scene: first Rodolfo: O ciel! che tento / "God! What am I doing?"; then, separately, Amina: Oh! come lieto è il popolo / "How happy all the people are, accompanying us to the church"; then together.) As Amina continues her sleepwalk, Rodolfo hears the sound of people approaching and, with no other way out, he climbs out of the window. Amina continues to sleep on the sofa as the villagers arrive at the inn. Lisa enters and points to Amina, who wakes up at the noise. Elvino, believing her faithless, rejects her in fury. Only Teresa believes in her innocence: Ensemble finale, first Amina D'un pensiero e d'un accento / "In my thought or in my words never , never have I sinned"; then Elvino: Voglia il cielo che il duol ch'io sento / "Heaven keep you from feeling ever the pain that I feel now!"; then the people and Teresa, the former proclaiming her treachery, Teresa pleading for her to be allowed to explain. Elvino then exclaims that there will be no wedding, and each expresses his or her emotional reaction to this discovery. Act 2 Scene 1: A wood On their way to ask the count to attest to Amina's innocence, the villagers rest in the woods and consider how they will express their support to him: (Chorus: Qui la selva è più folta ed ombrosa / "Here the wood is thick and dark"). Amina and Teresa arrive and are on a similar mission, but Amina is despondent, although Teresa encourages her daughter to continue. They then see Elvino coming in the wood looking downcast and sad. He continues to reject Amina, even when the townspeople come in with the news that the count says that she is innocent. Elvino is not convinced and takes back the ring, though he is unable to tear her image from his heart: (Aria, then chorus: Ah! Perché non posso odiarti, infedel, com'io vorrei! / "Why cannot I despise you, faithless, as I should?") Scene 2: The village, as in act 1 Lisa, Alessio, Elvino and the villagers are in the square. Elvino declares that he will renew his vows and proceed to marry Lisa. She is delighted. As they are about to go to the church, Rodolfo enters and tries to explain that Amina is innocent because she did not come to his room awake – she is a somnambulist, a sleepwalker: (Duet, first Elvino Signor Conte, agli occhi miei / negar fede non poss'io / "I cannot deny, my lord, what my eyes have seen"; then Rodolfo V'han certuni che dormendo / "Certain people when they sleep go about as if awake".) Elvino refuses to believe him and calls upon Lisa to leave, but at that moment Teresa begs the villagers to be quiet, because Amina has at last fallen into an exhausted sleep. Learning of the impending marriage, Teresa confronts Lisa, who says that she has never been found alone in a man's room. Teresa produces the handkerchief Lisa had dropped. The Count is unwilling to say what he thinks of this, but continues to insist on Amina's virtue. Elvino demands proof and Rodolfo, seeing the sleeping Amina walking across the high, dangerously unstable mill bridge, warns that to wake her would be fatal. All watch as she relives her betrothal and her grief at Elvino's rejection, taking the withered flowers in her hand. (Aria: Amina Ah! non credea mirarti / sì presto estinto, o fiore / "I had not thought I would see you, dear flowers, perished so soon". Then as she reaches the other side safely, the distraught Elvino calls to her and she is taken into his arms. Rodolfo hands him the ring which he places on her finger, at which time she awakens and is amazed by what has happened. All rejoice. In an aria finale, Amina expresses her joy: Ah! non giunge uman pensiero / al contento ond'io son piena / "Human thought cannot conceive of the happiness that fills me".
Short biography of the composer
Vincenzo Salvatore Carmelo Francesco Bellini (3 November 1801 – 23 September 1835) was an Italian opera composer, who was known for his long-flowing melodic lines for which he was named "the Swan of Catania". Many years later, in 1898, Giuseppe Verdi "praised the broad curves of Bellini's melody: 'there are extremely long melodies as no-one else had ever made before' " A large amount of what is known about Bellini's life and his activities comes from surviving letters—except for a short period—which were written over his lifetime to his friend Francesco Florimo, whom he had met as a fellow student in Naples and with whom he maintained a lifelong friendship. Other sources of information come from correspondence saved by other friends and business acquaintances. Bellini was the quintessential composer of the Italian bel canto era of the early 19th century, and his work has been summed up by the London critic Tim Ashley as: ... also hugely influential, as much admired by other composers as he was by the public. Verdi raved about his "long, long, long melodies ..." Wagner, who rarely liked anyone but himself, was spellbound by Bellini's almost uncanny ability to match music with text and psychology. Liszt and Chopin professed themselves fans. Of the 19th-century giants, only Berlioz demurred. Those musicologists who consider Bellini to be merely a melancholic tunesmith are now in the minority. In considering which of his operas can be seen to be his greatest successes over the almost two hundred years since his death, Il pirata laid much of the groundwork in 1827, achieving very early recognition in comparison to Donizetti's having written thirty operas before his major 1830 triumph with Anna Bolena. Both I Capuleti ed i Montecchi at La Fenice in 1830 and La sonnambula in Milan in 1831 reached new triumphal heights, although initially Norma, given at La Scala in 1831 did not fare as well until later performances elsewhere. "The genuine triumph" of I puritani in January 1835 in Paris capped a significant career. Certainly, Capuleti, La sonnambula, Norma, and I puritani are regularly performed today. After his initial success in Naples, most of the rest of his short life was spent outside of both Sicily and Naples, those years being followed with his living and composing in Milan and Northern Italy, and—after a visit to London—then came his final masterpiece in Paris, I puritani. Only nine months later, Bellini died in Puteaux, France at the age of 33.

Buying a used 1911
By D. Kamm
Other important links:
**1911 Function Check**
**Disassembly**
When considering the purchase of a U.S.G.I or other used 1911-type pistol, one fact must bear in mind: regardless of condition, they are all used. Even if it's supposedly like new in the box, somebody else still previously owned it. Maybe just the government, maybe the war vet who bought it home, maybe ten bajillion other collectors before you. In any event, when inspecting a firearm with an eye for possible acquisition you'll need to determine its true condition. This applies not only to the usual items (remaining original finish, correct parts and markings, etc.) but also its mechanical condition. You certainly don't want to buy a gun that's only useful as a paperweight or wall hanger, even if you don't intend to ever actually fire it. Mechanical condition also affects value, for obvious reasons. Even if the pistol appears to be in like-new shape, if it has suffered some sort of damage or isn't in safe working order it won't be worth much to anybody.
The following information, while pertaining mostly to USGI guns is still applicable to any used 1911-type pistol, commercial or military.
Initial inspection
The first thing to look at is the overall condition of the outside of the pistol, including underneath the grips (take a screwdriver with you when you go shopping). Things to check for:
*Original finish and correct parts. Non-original finish, incorrect parts or obvious modifications are something to be wary of.
*Correct assembly. I've seen several 1911s where the mainspring housing pin and hammer pin were switched, which is easy to do and a sign of incompetent assembly. While in itself not a big deal and easily rectified, it may be a sign that somebody was messing with things they shouldn't. Check that the plunger tube and grip screw bushings are securely staked in the frame.
*Finish wear. If the finish is worn in the usual areas (front strap, sharp edges, etc.) there's nothing to alarmed over. However, lack of finish in areas that don't normally see wear, when the other high-wear areas are fine indicates something isn't right. Be advised however that some areas typically show finish wear for reasons that new collectors may not recognize. An example is on the right side of the frame in front of the serial number. Often the finish will be worn in that location because of the brass flap hold-down button on the M1912 leather holster abrading it over time (a sewn-in piece of leather protected the pistol from the brass button, but the pressure eventually wore the finish anyway). Another example is the front left side of the dust cover, which also receives an abnormal amount of contact wear from the rough leather inside the holster.
*Rust, pitting, or corrosion. The three are different forms of damage, but they are all a bad thing. Rust is obvious, a reddish-brown crusty matter resulting from exposure to moisture (or some acids) that destroys the finish and begins to attack the metal underneath. Once this happens the result is pitting, the tiny "potholes" formed in the metal after it gets eaten away. Corrosion is like rust/pitting, but it is usually the result of exposure to strong acids or other chemicals, or even blood. It can leave small pits, or it can also eat up a large surface area at once.
*Cracks or peening damage. Look closely at the slide and frame for signs of cracking. See photo below for areas to inspect.
*Excessive component wear. It's common knowledge that military 1911s weren't fitted together nearly as snug as modern commercial pistols, however normally they weren't rattle-traps either. Some play of the slide and frame (both vertical and horizontal) is normal, but excessive movement may indicate badly worn parts. The barrel and bushing were also less than snug, but again excessive play should be noted. If the pistol seems extremely loose yet there is almost no finish wear to the contact areas it's time to look even closer (i.e. the pistol may have been refinished). Verify that the rear of the slide is relatively flush with the frame. If not, then the bottom feet of the lower barrel lugs are probably worn.
Detailed inspection
To do a more thorough inspection will require field-stripping the pistol. It's not necessary to completely detail-strip the pistol, but if you are able to, do so by all means! For instructions on how to field- or detail-strip a 1911 click here.
*Check internally for signs of cracking or peening damage. Check the breech face, barrel lugs (top and bottom), internal slide lugs, disconnector cutout, and slide/frame rails. Slight peening of the slide stop notch in the slide is normal on early production guns, but severe peening isn't.
*Check for signs of abuse. Make sure the pistol shows no evidence of a blowup (kB, or kaBoom!). If the slide or frame appears slightly bowed the pistol may have suffered a kB at some point. Other signs of abuse include deep gouges or peening marks on the slide and frame around the slide stop. It tells you that an incompetent person once tried to remove the slide stop using brute force, without understanding how to properly field-strip a 1911-type pistol.
*Check for signs of rust or pitting. It is particularly important to look underneath the grip panels, as moisture often collects there to form rust. Other vulnerable areas include inside the slide recess, the magazine well, inside the frame under the mainspring housing, and any bare unfinished areas.
*Inspect the condition of the bore, and examine the barrel in and out for cracks or peening damage. A loose barrel link pin is common, but really should be tight or at least staked in place.
*Look at the interior markings (if any) very closely. Fortunately most counterfeiters are somewhat lazy, and they'll often fail to either apply or remove authentic-looking inspection marks inside the gun. It is at this point that knowledge of what markings are normally found inside a particular pistol is important. Either refer to one of Charles W. Clawson's excellent books, or else seek the advice of a more knowledgeable collector. However, if you're the type who buys first and asks questions later you might not be too happy further down the road.
*Don't forget to look at the small parts closely. They can suffer from rust, cracks, peening, and wear just like the more important parts like the slide, frame, and barrel. While they may be comparatively easy to replace, finding an identical replacement part is often a real challenge at this late date. If you do manage to find another part expect to pay a premium for it as well. Some early parts are virtually impossible to find anywhere, at any price.
*Last, but certainly not the least important, look for signs of alteration, modification, or attempts to repair defects or damage. You'd be surprised what some folks will do to a poor unsuspecting pistol, and later what they'll do to cover it up when it comes time to sell the gun. Feed ramps can be ground on, trigger shoes added or removed, big sights brazed on then later removed, milling work done then later welded back up, or markings ground off or altered. Assume nothing, suspect everything.
Function checking
Once the initial checks have been completed, the next task is to verify soundness of function. You probably won't have a chance to actually fire live ammunition through it, but even if you have no plans to ever shoot the pistol its functionality is important. Work the slide action, looking for signs of binding or ill-fitting parts. Operate all controls, cock the hammer, pull the trigger (by the way, making sure it's unloaded first is probably a good idea too). Most important though, make sure all parts work properly and safely. A fairly complete function check can be performed by using the guidelines provided here:
Last, but definitely not least..... "Always buy the gun, not the story!"
"The performance you want with protection you can trust"

Shooting Death Of San Ramon, CA Man Ruled Self-Defense
By Jon | August 5, 2016
Bob Irwin highlights the latest self defense and other shootings of the week. Read them and see went wrong, what went right and what we can learn from defense with a gun.
Bob Irwin
Las Vegas, NV –-(Ammoland.com)- The Mercury News reports this week (07/23/2016) in Antioch, California, authorities declined to file criminal charges in the February shooting death of a San Ramon man, but the victim’s family continues to dispute that it was an act of self-defense.
The deceased, age 31, was shot at least four times at a Chevron gas station on Feb. 13 2016. He died in a hospital two days later. A coroner’s report released in June said he was shot with his own handgun, after getting into an argument with a man with whom he had a history. He displayed a gun at his waistband, leading to a struggle where the other man grabbed the weapon.
Police say the unnamed shooter was fighting for his own life, and only fired shots after the deceased declared he had a second gun strapped to his ankle and then reached for his pant leg. However, no guns were found on his body.
The deceased’s family is not accepting the police department’s assessment and is lobbying the District Attorney’s Office to re-examine the case. They say they will ask Attorney General Kamala Harris’ office look into it if the Contra Costa DA’s office doesn’t want to do anything about it.
The Deputy DA said it was a clear-cut decision not to charge the shooter and that he didn’t think prosecutors would be able to prove the shooter’s actions were not in self-defense. Investigators reviewed security footage that depicted the entire incident and it shows the deceased showing he had a gun, then the two struggling over the weapon.
When officers arrive the shooter puts his hands up, puts the gun on the ground, and follows officers’ orders promptly.
Two of the deceased’s wounds were to his backside, one severing an artery, one hit him in his knee, and graze wounds to his chest and arm.
The coroner’s report also states that the shooter had a restraining order against the deceased, but court civil records indicate one was never filed.
The family feels every shot has to be justified, but that’s not true in the dynamic motion of a violent confrontation.
It appears the shooter had reason to believe his opponent was about to shoot him. Apparently wrong, but believable at the time and that’s the test.
Sometimes even after no charges are filed the case continues. A decedent’s family will rarely agree that their relative deserved to die. Given economic resources, this case could go on for decades.

Kava Experience – Hawaiian Hiwa
by Keith Cleversley | Nov 3, 2015 | Kava Kava, Research | 1 comment
On a late 2015 trip to the Hawaiian Islands, I had the pleasure of experiencing a cultivar of Kava unlike any other I had experienced previously. This variety was called Hiwa (pronounced HEE-vuh), and I had the pleasure of experiencing this incredible cultivar over a full 2-day period with a native Hawaiian who grew it, harvested it, and prepared it for us. This farmer grows almost exclusively Hiwa, and gave many wonderful and detailed reasons why this is. I soon found out for myself as this Kava experience was unlike any other I’ve ever had.
Danny’s farm is located in a remote area of the island of Oahu. Roads gave way to dirt roads, houses turned to farmhouses and then to simple structures, open to the outside air, with jutting red posts in the corners straining to hold up silvery tin roofs. One of the farms I visited had several self-built buildings that began as small shacks that grew larger and more intricate as time went on, giving way to a beautiful home that blended in with the jungle landscape.
The place I stayed in was in a guest house that was built by the landowners. The 2 room space doubled as an art studio for the landowner, as 2 sets of damp and tattered mattresses lay heavy in the shadowed corners of this jungle abode. There was no glass in the windows; only screens stapled to the wood framing, to keep out the mosquitos that seemed gleeful to have my pasty white American blood to feast upon. I don’t always feel like I’m in the jungle, but here, even though we’re not too far from “civilization”, the air feels thick, almost palpably salty, growing thicker as the heat of midday slowly rolls in.
Soon, we settled in, ate some food, and then were given a tour the Hiwa plants throughout the property. Hiwa, also called “Black Kava”, has deep purple stems, propping up the usual beautiful, heart-shaped and silky Kava leaves. I was stunned by how deeply purple the stems were, which looked jet black in anything other than direct sunlight. Take a look at the photo to the right; Hiwa definitely has a look all it’s own. I immediately felt a deep reverence and respect for the plants that towered above my head, with their spindly, knotty nodes as thick as my wrists. These plants were over 10 years old, and I was told that these particular plants came from cuttings that can be traced back to ceremonial use by Hawaiian priests. Whether or not that’s actually true, I like the imagery and the possibility just the same.
It’s also easy to see why this particular cultivar was associated with magic and ritual in Ancient Hawaii. But it didn’t end with just looks.
Once we completed the tour and I took enough pictures to satisfy my desire to get at least one good photo, we were given more information about this curious Hawaiian Hiwa Kava, originally named for the location it comes from. According to our host, this cultivar was reserved only for strict ceremonial use, and typically only by kahuanas or chiefs. I particularly liked the fact that this was used in ritual, and in all my studies of ancient Hawaiian culture, I found very little documented evidence of Kava being used ritualistically or for Shamanic purposes such as vision questing. I was informed that Hiwa was most certainly a true plant medicine, and was used for traveling by high priests quite regularly.
I couldn’t help wondering if the possible use of Kava on Easter Island had characteristics similar to Hiwa.
One of the curious aspects of Hiwa is it’s unique ability to open the Head Pico, similar to the Head Chakra in the Chinese system of medicine. Speaking of, I was told there are 3 main Picos in Hawaiian culture; the head, belly, and genital picos. Pico literally translated means “belly button” or “umbilical cord”, but also can refer to the 3 chakra-like system of Hawaiian energy channels.
It opens the head pico by providing waking visions when in a trance state, and for imparting vivid dreams later once sleep finds its way to the priest. Hiva is not a particularly sleepy Kava, though, and I found that it was simultaneously energizing and deeply relaxing at the same time. I was told that Hiva was most definitely used to help connect priests to the spirit world, and was certainly the main cultivar used for this purpose.
Speaking of, as darkness fell, we were readied for the Kava ceremony. It was important that we disconnected from the internet, from our computers and iPhones, and simply sat with the jungle. We were coaxed into a state that feels so natural, but is often a million miles away in my California home. As our focus shifted to the jungle around us, it was astonishing how many creatures began to announce their presence and how many were staking out their territory. The only other time I felt anything similar to this is when my wife and I ventured into primary Amazonian rainforest for as authentic Ayahusaca experience. It was truly a magical moment of realization and awakening for me.
I’m always curious about how authentic Kava is prepared. I’ve never had the courage to have someone chew some roots and spit them into a bowl like Hawaiians used to do, but something that makes more than a subtle difference for me is when Kava drinks are made from fresh roots instead of dried and powdered root. Having attended a Kava Festival a couple of weeks before, the Hawaiian Kava Council offered samples of several varieties of ‘Awa at the festival. They offered 2 versions of each variety they offered; one was made from fresh root, and the other was the same variety made from freshly dried and powdered root.
The difference in flavor between the two was remarkable. But what moved me more was how different the effects of freshly-squeezed roots are to powdered root. Now, I’m no pushover, and unless I have an experience myself that is ineffable, I tend to doubt just about everything initially. So, I have long-believed that there couldn’t be much of a difference between freshly-ground Kava root and freshly-dried Kava root that’s freshly-ground. After all, all the drying does is remove the large amount of water from the Kava plant. Since Kava is about 80% water, and dried roots contain about 12% water content, I figured there couldn’t be anything more than a subtle difference between the two.
Wow, was I wrong.
Even at the festival, the flavor of the fresh extracted root was noticeably more — not earthy or “planty”, but more natural, perhaps. There was a more woody or “rooty” flavor to the dried and ground Kava. It wasn’t a big difference, but it was enough to have a definite preference for the fresh Kava root.
Anyway, back to the Kava ceremony. As we imbibed in folklore and tall tales of ancient Hawaiians, I was stunned at the depth of the spiritual and Shamanistic world that was being conveyed to me. This, by the way, was taking place as our first shell of Hiva Kava was scooped out of a large wooden poi bowl, hand-turned from koa wood. I couldn’t help wondering if Kava bowls (called XXXXXXXXX), had been fashioned after the simple poi bowl, but that would remain a mystery.
I’m not new to Kava drinking, nor am I new to fresh Kava extractions either. But it could have been the setting, it could have been my relatively empty stomach, but this Hiwa Kava took a very definite hold of me in a way I hadn’t quite experienced before. I didn’t feel a heavy body sensation, but felt a very cerebral effect start to weave its way into my consciousness. The jungle around me took on a beautifully crisp glow. Things seemed to pulse and flow in a rhythm that I hadn’t noticed before. The insects and frogs chirping away seemed to speak a language that I could almost understand. I could feel my inhibitions lowering, as the discussion took on an intensity that surprised a seasoned teaching plant explorer as myself.
As the second shell took hold, I didn’t feel that different from how I feel at the opening rounds of an Ayahuasca experience. Colors became a little more saturated, and I began to feel less like an intruder, and more at one, and at peace with the jungle around me. I felt like I was somehow blending in more than I had ever felt before. At the same time, I felt a sense of compassion for a people I knew so little about. I was taught Hawaiians were “heathens” that needed civilizing. But here, out in the jungle, with creatures and a human making such incredible music around me, I realized that the Hawaiian culture was most-likely a deeply spiritual people who were in harmony with the island world around them.
Yes, it could have been the Kava talking, but this experience further cemented my interest in discovering the true Hawaiian history and culture, some of which I outline in two articles on that very subject; one called “The Lost History of Hawaii and Kava” and “Kava and the Haolies” over on Kava.com.
As the evening wore on, and stories were told of a people who held great reverence for their gods and their people and their lands, several more shells of Kava passed my way and found their way into spaces I didn’t know I had within me. Eventually, the conversation turned to the dreams that Hiwa Kava is supposed to facilitate. Being an avid lucid dreamer most of my life, and taking a personal interest in herbs that help induce dreaming (see www.DreamHerbs.com), this aspect of the Kava experience enticed me perhaps most of all.
Never fearful of violent or scary dreams, I nonetheless wondered if there was a common thread with dreams that the Hiwa might induce. Although there were several tales of dark dreams, there were others that were playful in nature. From what I was told, Hiwa was mostly ingested with a specific purpose and intent, and never recreationally. Whether it was to foretell a future outcome of a plethora of events, to connect with dead ancestors, or to decipher an illness, Hiva Kava and recreation seemed to be mutually incompatible.
I couldn’t help feeling a little guilty, as I had no specific intent other than to learn about and experience this particular cultivar. But my host reassured me that the fact that my intent was pure, and that I may someday write about or share my experience with this ancient and sacred plant, was intent enough. Either way, it’s difficult to not feel reverence for this plant and its people when the night sky dappled with stars and a jungle laden with squeaks and chirps and squawks and howls enveloped and surrounded me.
Now, some Kava can make me sleepy, but whether it was the excitement of the day, the stories that now danced in my head, or the coolness of the jungle floor, I wasn’t feeling particularly sleepy from the Kava that firmly had my entire consciousness and body in it’s gentle grasp. But, a significant intent of this particular evening, was to experience the vivid dreams that are said to accompany Hiva ingestion. Something I could attest to, even at this point in the evening, was the visual nature of this cultivar. That, in itself, already made this experience worth it.
The fire dimmed as the coals burned the last of their wooden fuel, and the coolness of the night slinked in and wrapped itself around me. It was time to lay down to see if sleep might find me, hopefully transforming my sleeping reality into one more vivid than my waking one. As we crawled onto the bare mattress, checking first for the worms I was warned sometimes take up residence in them (but like the dark dampness and not the taste of human flesh), the din of the jungle seemed to carve out a pathway between the ceremony site and our sleeping space.
But, soon after our movement ceased, courageous creatures once again began their three hundred and sixty degree symphony around us, framing the evening in sound. I was relaxed, but exhilarated, and between twilight visions and the sounds of the jungle, the night passed in stops and starts. I don’t think I was ever in a cycle of sleep long enough to allow for R.E.M. dreaming, and decided, sometime in the middle of the night, to write this passage you’re reading now.
Morning broke sooner than I expected, but just in time to satiate my grumbling belly. The Kava from the night before filled me up for a few hours, but decided to work its way through me slowly, triggering several trips to the outhouse in the middle of the night. Something that took me by surprise were how the walls moved as I flashed my light in an effort to illuminate my path. Geckos, chameleons and other insects seemed to like the inside of the guest house better than the outside, as they all scattered the moment my light hit them. I thought perhaps they may even have been sleeping in the bed with us, but I left that investigation for my return.
The day mostly consisted of learning more techniques to grow Kava, other ways to propagate it, and other methods of harvesting it. Being in the business for years, I’ve seen my share of Kava planting to harvesting and beyond (some of which I finally wrote about in an article called “How to Grow and Propagate Kava” elsewhere on this website), but every farmer has his own techniques for propagation, growing, cultivating, harvesting, and processing this ancient plant and its roots. Our host used raised beds, a technique I have yet to see up close or try for our own Kava.
I was amazed at how much easier harvesting Kava is from raised beds. Roots are freed much more easily, it’s much easier to selectively harvest the roots to preserve as much of the existing plants as possible, and it’s easier to be selective about what exactly and how much you want to harvest. A single mature Kava plant that’s 6′ – 9′ tall, will typically provide a respectable amount of fresh Kava root. We harvested only a portion of one mature plant, and took several cuttings to prepare for rooting.
I plan to write about this experience in “How to Harvest Kava” which may or may not be complete at this time.
Sooner than I wanted, night fell upon us once again. It was a hot day, and despite draping ourselves with long sleeved shirts and a sheet of bug spray, the heat is the most draining aspect of tropical regions of the world. This excited me today, though, because I was hoping that my long day in the sun and my lack of sleep the night before would be fertile ground for vivid dreams this evening.
And dream I did.
But first, this evening’s Kava ceremony: It was similar to last night’s, but I understood now why our host wanted us to experience two nights of ‘Awa instead of just one. This evening, we were already acclimated to the heat, to the jungle, and to that state of mind that took even me, an experienced Zen practitioner, time to settle into. This evening began much more naturally, as little to no instruction was given, and the Kava ceremony itself began wordlessly. All the players knew their parts, and I was enthralled with the dance we all knew we were engaging in silently, effortlessly, and with quiet excitement.
The shells found their way to my brain just as quickly, and this evening, I didn’t even think about how many shells passed my lips. From the way I was feeling, I guessed it may have been about 6 or more, but there was no point in trying to count, especially in that ineffable moment of reverie. Stories were shared a little more openly, some personal information was shared, and walls broke down for a few hours as we were just people sharing an ancient plant that was used to bring people together. I can be overly sensitive, but this evening made me want to cry at its simplicity, at it’s stark and silent beauty, where everything seemed to be in perfect alignment and perfect harmony.
As we were directed to look upwards towards the moon, we were privy to a natural occurrence called a “moonbow”. I’d never heard of such a thing, but there it was, as clear as day; a beautiful ring around the room, replete with the colors of the rainbow. I didn’t feel the need to attach any meaning to this lovely event, and let the evening continue to entice us into its silvery glow.
The fire whimpered and smoked as an offering of Kava was once again made to the gods, this time squeezing the glowing embers from the few remaining coals. It was time for bed again, and this time, my weary body couldn’t wait to get horizontal. We all hugged briefly, said our “aloha ahahi’s (good evenings), and we once again made our way to our inviting, bare mattresses.
I don’t know if it was a little cooler this evening or if I was running a little cooler, but everything felt a little more comfortable than it did the previous eve. This time, sleep found its way to me almost as quickly as the time it took me to tuck myself in. And, almost as quickly, a series of dreams took hold of me throughout the night. None of them became lucid, and they were more narratives than they were first-person experiences, but they were some of the most vivid I had ever experienced.
Not surprisingly, most of my dreams were related to Kava. Whether it was variations on the Kava I was looking at, photographing, tasting, drying, growing, pruning, harvesting, or cultivating, just as my days were dominated with Kava, so were my dreams.
I wasn’t expecting anything prophetic from my dreams, but I was perhaps hoping for a spiritual element to my dreams. As with any true teacher plant, one needs to get familiar with the plant, to literally build up a relationship with the plant as we not only learn its effects, but as we grow more accustomed to those effects. When teaching others about teaching plants and plant medicines, I often refer to the initial stages of these kinds of experiences as the Las Vegas aspect of the plant. It’s easy to be wowed by the shiny lights and shimmering displays, but those are only the distractions. Once we are familiar with that aspect of a teacher plant, and allow it to pass through us without mention, that’s when we open ourselves to a true spiritual journey with a plant teacher.
The Kava felt no different. My dreams were so laden with my subjective visions of my recent experiences, and I was so focused on those experiences as the narratives swept me away throughout the night, there wasn’t room for much else. But, the experience was ebulliently tangible, it made it vividly clear that if I chose to continue working with this plant in this way, that some amazing things would begin to reveal themselves to me.
Just as my experiences with Peyote within the Native American Church, felt very different from my experiences with Ayahuasca with a Curandero in the depths of the Amazon, this Kava experience felt as though it seamlessly fit into the same family. Whether these sacred plants tap into a specific part of our psyche, I can’t be certain, but there is a commonality to each of these experiences that unites them. I wasn’t the least bit disappointed, and looked forward to devoting more than just two days to this incredible new teacher in my ever-evolving spiritual journey.
Would I drink Hiva Kava daily?
Do I recommend drinking this Black ‘Awa every day?
Was the experience throughly enjoyable?
It certainly was.
Did it get scary at all?
Not for a second, but I do have a newfound respect for this plant and the unique power and personality of the different varieties. I’m content to continue drinking my Noble Kava root from Vanuatu daily, with doses of Hawaiian Kava (in much shorter supply), interspersed. Although I now see why Hawaiian varieties are thought to have such distinct personalities to them.
Speaking of, my favorite daily drinking combination continues to be Hawaiian Mo’a mixed with Nene, or our own super fresh Borogu from Vanuatu with a 4-2-6 or 2-4-6 Kavalactone lineup.
I want to take a moment to offer a very sincere thanks to all of the forces that brought this experience, and especially to my Hawaiian host, who opened up his private space to me and my wife for so much time. I’m thankful to all the other Hawaiian farmers and nursery owners who trusted me enough to give me some time to discuss Kava and Hawaiian culture. I’m now even more painfully aware of the distrust that Hawaiians typically have for the haolie (pronounced HOW-lee), and only want to respect that disconnect, while being as gracious and informed and respectful a guest as possible to hopefully do my small part in mending some very bitter fences.
Kava has definitely been a central uniter in this regard, and as I continue to revisit the Hawaiian islands, I’m hoping that my connections and my knowledge of Hawaiian history continue to evolve with me. I already feel more spiritually awake than before this trip started, I have a much deeper compassion for the plight of the Hawaiian people, and I have been moved to study as much as I can about a culture that was almost wiped out by Western diseases by 1900, while having their Kingdom taken from them by the United States in the 1950’s.

PRIMROSE Sterling Silver Diamond-Cut Rope Bracelet
This bracelet features a sterling silver rope chain.
Rape is a social evil that has reached explosive proportions. It has ruined many lives and continues to do so at a frenetic pace. No one is immune, and age is no bar. From infants to senior citizens to corpses, rape has become a diabolic symbol of power in an iniquitous world. In USA, a rape occurs every two minutes; In India, every 54 minutes, and in Pakistan, every three hours. The tragedy is that 80% are perpetrated by fathers, brothers, relatives or friends. Six out of ten occur in the home or in the home of a relative or friend. The story of an Austrian father, who raped his daughter for 24 years, and sired seven children through her, is still fresh in our minds.
Though rape occurs in all social groups, it is more frequent among minority groups with low social status. A molester need not necessarily be a sleazy character. He may be well educated, well groomed and have a high standing in society such as a judge, government official, policeman or priest. Even doctors have been known to rape patients in their clinics. The rapist may be of any age from an old man to a young teenager. The increasing trend of raping minors by force or through allurements is frightening. Children of 14 years or lower, have been known to rape their classmates, and kill them out of fear of being caught.
Reasons for under reporting:
A habitual rapist may molest about 8-10 women before being caught. As conviction rates are only about 2%, many cases go unreported.
o Most women fear the stigma attached to rape, especially when the Law does not convict the rapist. They become secretive and even believe that they are in some way guilty.
o Lack of faith in the judicial system: Many times the court puts the victim on trial, questioning her about her morality, and probing into her sexual history. When a constable in Mumbai raped a 15 year old rag picker the judge proclaimed, “She is a rag picker and of no consequence.”
Because of such perverse reasoning and warped sense of justice, many judges pass it off as an ‘act of passion’ and award minimum sentence.
Also, legal battles are long and tiresome. The onus of proving rape falls on the victim.
o Fear of retaliation by the rapist or his goons.
o Fear of adverse reaction from society, parents, husbands, employers or peers.
o Fear of tarnishing the family image, especially when there are unwed female siblings.
One study showed that 43% of women are ignorant of the law; 23% are too shy to come forward; 12% are afraid of the police; 12% think complaining will not make a difference.
One young girl said, “I blame society for giving men the right to rape and regarding women’s suffering as unimportant. A rapist may get off with a light sentence, but the victim’s sentence is for life.”
What is rape?
It is a form of sexual sadism involving unlawful sexual penetration either by coercion, force, blackmail or under false promises. “I believe that whatever violates the integrity of a woman’s body should be considered rape,” says Brinda Karat, a women’s activist. “Sexual violence apart from being dehumanizing, is an unlawful intrusion of the right to privacy and sanctity of the female,” says Justice A. S. Anand.
Situations under which rape occurs:
– Custodial rape when a woman is in custody for some small offence.
– Child rape is the pastime of paedophiles. 1 in 5 children raped are below 15 years of age. Some don’t even spare infants in cradles.
– Casting couches are routine in the film or modeling industry. When a person is desperate for a job she becomes vulnerable.
– Date rape has been escalating. The assailant is usually known to the victim, and drugs the victim with GHB, Rophynol, Ketamine or some such drug. These drugs are in powder form or liquid and dissolve in any drink. These drugs make the victim physically helpless and incapable of resisting sex, also incapable of recalling the incident. Alcohol enhances the action of the drugs. No trace is found in the blood stream after 72 hours
– Aggravated rape is when a rapist introduces an instrument or foreign body into the victim, to build up his own orgasm.
– Marital rape which may not be recognized by the law.
“In marriage, the weakest, stupidest, insignificant men of the world receive licence to rape or beat their wives,” says Virginia Woolfe
– Necrophilia: The raping of corpses is common in certain tribes. Sometimes sexual perverts can also indulge in such activity.
Reasons why men rape?
– It gives men a sense of power, and is linked to their identity. Forcing a woman into sexual subjugation validates their manhood. They enjoy it.
– Lust in men who have not disciplined their impulses. Testosterone makes male libido flare out of control.
– Economic causes: In some communities the bride price may be too high. Poverty, low socioeconomic status, unemployment, lack of skills, make men vent their frustration through rape. The victim and rapist may live in the same area. Girls in inner cities have 1 in 70 chances of being raped, whereas in rich areas it may be 1 in 2000.
– In communities with strict codes of behaviour, where no mingling of sexes is allowed, repressed males give expression to their masculinity through rape.
– Antisocial and borderline personalities behave irresponsibly. This is enhanced by drugs and alcohol.
– Misogyny: Men who hate women commit violent crimes against them. Many have aggressive mothers and timid fathers. A mother’s verbal abuse may have given the man a poor self image. As an expression of anger against mother or sisters, he finds a victim who cannot defend herself or is mentally retarded, and rapes her.
– Men with poor self worth are convinced that no woman would voluntarily sleep with them. They are aroused by sexual fantasies and express themselves through rape.
– Revenge: When men are rejected or ignored, they feel insulted enough to use rape as a form of revenge.
– Growing Feminism: Women are breaking down every male bastion. They are becoming economically independent and upwardly mobile. Male bashing is occurring like never before. Assisted reproductive technology and genetic engineering make some men feel purposeless and disempowered. As a result they resort to rape.
– Sex Industry and Pornography incites men to treat women as commodities and humiliate them for their pleasure.
“Rape is nothing more or less than a conscious process of intimidation by which all men keep all women in a state of fear,” says Susan Brown Miller.
– Men have blamed women for flaunting their female attributes through indecent exposure, skimpy costumes and suggestive behaviour. This they say precipitates lust in men. Women refute this because rape occurs in small towns or villages where women dress modestly.
– Rape in war is sanctioned by the highest authorities as a means of demoralizing the social fabric of a nation, by impregnating their women. It is also supposed to relieve aggression and promote bonding among soldiers.
Effects of rape on the victim:
The Rape-Trauma syndrome is akin to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. It has two stages. The first is Disorganization due to the shock of rape. Fright, anger, guilt, and shame may follow. Reorganization is the second stage which gradually takes place over a period of 3-4 months. Sometimes it may take much longer. The victim feels vulnerable, timid, and not fully in control of her life. Residual Damage is what rape leaves in its wake. Depression, sexual dysfunction, vaginismus, fear of sexual interaction and inability to adjust socially are common. The person may take to alcohol or drugs to fight off fear and depression. A survivor of rape is nine times more likely to commit suicide. But if the victim gets immediate support and is able to ventilate her grief, fear or rage, the chances of recovery are greater.
Solutions to minimize rape in society:
o Education of the public by raising rape consciousness in society through education and awareness programmes. Men, politicians, police, judiciary and the general public should be sensitized about violence against women. New insights into sex roles are needed. Stereotype gender roles only make men more aggressive and women more vulnerable.
o Education of girls: Strong parental support will give girls a sense of security and belonging. They will have confidence to express their fears and anxieties. Parents should encourage their children to report to them incidents like physical proximity, inappropriate touching even if it is father, brother or relatives. Girls should be made aware of dangers lurking in society. 60% of teenagers have a tendency to act boldly and impulsively.
Women should also be made aware of the laws against rape and molestation. Male judges are too easy on rapists and too hard on victims. Because of such injustice, the law has been brought into disrepute. Trials must be time bound and punishment swift. Rape Crisis Centres should provide counseling and support to rape victims.
o Education of girl children should include specific “do’s” and “don’ts.” They should be told never to let a stranger within arm’s length, and never to accept sweets or toys from strangers; never to lead a stranger to some isolated place he wants to visit; to beware of over-friendliness. Children from unhappy homes are easy targets as they are starved for affection. Even van drivers who ferry children between school and home may take advantage of a friendly child. Teenagers may be lured by people who promise roles in films or in modeling. If attacked, the child should be told to drop on the ground and scream for help.
o Education of parents: The lines of communication between them and their children should always be tension-free. Many parents think that children are too young to be told about rape as it will frighten them unduly. Children must be made aware that there is a small number of wicked people in society.
Parents should also be alerted by sudden withdrawal, loss of appetite, nightmares or refusal to go to school, and investigate into the matter.
Parents should check the sites children visit on the Net and the type of books they read.
A child who is aware of dangers will be more likely to ward off a rapist. Vigilance is the solution.

Truman on Trial: Undecided
by Arnold A. Offner
Mr. Offner is Cornelia F. Hugel Professor of History at Lafayette College and past president, Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations.
Alas, I must insist that I be counted as a"hung juror." I believe that Philip Nobile's prosecutor's argument is too weak to allow for conviction of President Truman for war crimes, while Ronald Radosh's defense arguments are weaker still, combining flimsy arguments and evidence with ad hominem attacks on"revisionist" historians.
Nobile's arguments are too literal and sweeping: Truman and all those around him are guilty of war crimes for causing wanton destruction of cities and villages (and people) without military necessity. But so then must we convict the Germans for bombing the east end of London and Coventry and London, the British and U.S. for fire-bombing Dresden, Hamburg and Tokyo...albeit with conventional bombs not atomic ones. (But that makes the issue the weapon not the deed.)
Use of the bomb also rested on fact that Truman and Secretary of State James F. Byrnes did fear a) the Japanese might fight to the last soldier alive; b) the U.S. Congress and public would be enraged at the failure to use weapons after expending $2.7 billion, while also allowing"unnecessary" lost U.S. lives; c) Russians might advance in Manchuria and North China, and in Japan and claim the right of occupation governance, a la Germany; d) no official or group officials made a concerted argument not to use atomic bombs; e) no one--save a handful of scientists--grasped the quantum leap atomic weapons represented; f) after almost a decade of warfare--from Japan's attack on China 1937 to 1945, politicians like HST and Byrnes did not believe bombing was wanton destruction so much as forcing the other side to quit an indescribably horrible war. Hence, for many reasons that blended together--and prevented serious discussion of NOT using A-Bombs--HST and Byrnes acted, neither as saints nor sinners, nor as war criminals. Hence, I cannot convict them of war crimes unless I convict everyone who ordered any bombing that was not a military-industrial target exclusively.
Defense lawyer Radosh does not seem acquainted with the vast body of literature that shows many political reasons that pushed HST in the direction of use of the bomb. For example:
1) Stimson-HST discussions May 1945 about bomb being a"master card" and"royal straight flush" that would allow US to leverage USSR in negotiations; 2) Byrnes's belief that the bomb would allow the US to"out maneuver" the USSR in North China-Manchuria and Japan; and in Potsdam negotiations in general, including those concerning Germany. (See diary of Walter Brown, Byrnes's administrative aide). 3)HST himself saw the bomb as an"ace in the hole" --said it repeatedly--that would allow him to defeat Stalin in negotiations; 4) HST refused to weigh requests of Assistant Secretary of War John McCloy, Assistant Navy Secretary Ralph Bard, and former Ambassador to Japan Joseph C. Grew, and then STIMSON at POTSDAM to modify the demand for unconditional surrender to allow the emperor to remain on the throne; 5) the Potsdam Declaration deliberately left out: a)mention of the A Bomb; b) mention of the USSR coming into the war; c) no modifications to the demand for unconditional surrender. All this was designed to allow use of the A Bomb to end the war before the USSR joined (thus forestalling the USSR claims in China, Japan and Germany! ).
Finally, Radosh and others' casualty-death figures running to hundreds thousands are all poppycock. The Joint Chiefs of Staff said the maximum would be 31,000 in the first 30 days after the invasion of Kyushu--and they did NOT expect it to last that long. Japan was on its last military legs, the U.S. knew it, and while young Japanese officers wanted to fight--they could not hold out once the USSR entered the war.
In fact, Robert Pape's article,"Why Japan Surrendered," (1993) documents the profound impact Russia's entry on August 8 had on the Japanese decision to surrender--fear not just of military destruction but of communism!
Finally, while Radosh talks abut Hiroshima etc, no historian--including those who say HST had little choice regarding Hiroshima--who knows the field suggests that the Nagasaki bombing was militarily necessary. So stop beating on"intellectuals" and those who do not share the bitter right-wing persuasion of Radosh et al. and try reading a few documents...
That's it friends, except to say that this kind of"trial" does not allow for the best historical judgment....There's a reason historians weigh all sides of a case, and render humane judgments, while prosecutors and defense lawyers tend to seek conviction or acquittal at all costs.
Chelsea Nicole Boucher - 2/28/2011
I agree with you in the fact that both cases were weak in evidence and had no real value to hold up in a true court of law, however, by saying there is not enough evidence, Truman is assumed innocent because no one has proved otherwise and there will never be a way to prove that theory. The reason for this is because we cannot say there was not a necessity for the bombs because we didn't use anything else and the bombs had been proven effective when the result was an unconditional surrender from Japan and if we flip that sentence around there was also no way of knowing how many lives would have been saved if we had not used the bomb. By that logic, I have concluded that Truman is not guilty on the basis of insufficient evidence.

EXPERTS PROPOSE ACTION TO END HARMFUL PRACTICES RELATED TO WITCHCRAFT
October 5, 2017 | Keywords | gender, human rights | Subject(s) | Human Rights Law Source | United Nations (Geneva) October 5, 2017 No Comments / 91 views
GENEVA, 5 October 2017 (Issued as received) – More than 100 UN* and other international experts have identified a series of effective ways to curb and stop human rights violations caused by a “disturbing diversity of harmful practices” related to witchcraft.
Concrete measures identified include strengthening research and data collection, reviewing relevant laws, collaborating with and monitoring the work of traditional healers, prohibiting newspaper advertisements of witchcraft practitioners, and regulating independent faith-based practices.
“All measures must reflect a human rights approach and should be comprehensive, with governments working closely with communities and civil society,” the experts stressed in a summary of their proposals, which emerged from a ground-breaking workshop held in Geneva.
“An approach that combines legislative action with improvements in child protection, education, health, justice, social protection, economic and livelihood measures, and gender equality and empowerment is essential, with the strong involvement of traditional healers, faith leaders, and groups vulnerable to such attacks,” they said.
One of the main convenors of the event, the UN Independent Expert on the human rights of persons with albinism, Ikponwosa Ero, said: “The workshop helped us better understand the complex web of meaning behind witchcraft, a phenomenon with various manifestations.
“It also helped to identify potential solutions to prevent and address human rights violations that are still committed on a daily basis throughout the world. These include killings, ritual attacks and mutilations, human sacrifice, torture, inhumane and degrading treatment, discrimination and isolation, among many other harmful practices,” she added.
The UN Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary killings, Agnes Callamard, stressed that witchcraft-related violations of the right to life amounted to arbitrary killings, triggering State responsibility.
“In practical terms, this means the State must do everything in its power to prevent the occurrence of witchcraft-related killings, including by actively countering harmful stereotyping,” said Ms. Callamard.
She further recommended that witchcraft-related killings be treated as “hate crimes”, thus demanding a range of additional legal, investigatory, sentencing and protection measures. She called for firm legal protection, implementation of non-discrimination measures, and demonstration of the effectiveness of State policies and practices with regard to prevention, investigation, punishment and remedies.
Noting that harmful witchcraft beliefs and practices resulted in gross violations of women’s rights, the Special Rapporteur on violence against women, Dubravka Šimonoviæ, called on States to apply due diligence to prevent such acts, to protect victims and to punish perpetrators.
Ms. Šimonoviæ also called for a holistic approach aimed at the eradication of violence against women, including comprehensive human rights education and awareness-raising programmes, as well as changes in any laws that supported such harmful practices and human rights violations.
Expressing her strong support for the event, the Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General on Violence against Children, Marta Santos Pais, called for effective measures to free children from the risk of violence associated with witchcraft accusations to be put in place urgently.
“This is critical to ensure that children are fully protected from all forms of violence by the 2030 deadline set by the Sustainable Development Goals,” she said.
“Being accused of witchcraft is a form of psychological violence in itself and is often associated with unspeakable attacks that amount to torture. Even when child victims survive, they are often stigmatized, abandoned and forced to live on the street where an even more vulnerable life awaits them.
“These acts of violence are largely under-reported and remain concealed, impunity prevails and children rarely have access to recovery and social re-integration mechanisms,” added SRSG Santos Pais.
Speakers at the workshop, including those from the United Kingdom, Malawi, Nigeria, Tanzania, Australia, India and Papua New Guinea, presented examples of the impact of witchcraft on the human rights of people in vulnerable situations and how they responded to them. Victims of harmful practices related to witchcraft also recounted their experiences.
Participants recommended spearheading action on the issue as part of States’ commitment to end all forms of violence and leave no one behind under the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
(*) The UN experts: Ms. Marta Santos Pais,Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Violence against Children; Ms. Ikponwosa Ero, Independent Expert on the enjoyment of human rights by persons with albinism ; Ms. Dubravka Šimonoviæ, Special Rapporteur on violence against women, its causes and consequences; Ms. Agnes Callamard, Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions. The Independent Experts are part of what is known as the Special Procedures of the Human Rights Council. Special Procedures, the largest body of independent experts in the UN Human Rights system, is the general name of the Council’s independent fact-finding and monitoring mechanisms that address either specific country situations or thematic issues in all parts of the world. Special Procedures’ experts work on a voluntary basis; they are not UN staff and do not receive a salary for their work. They are independent from any government or organization and serve in their individual capacity. As a high level global independent advocate, Marta Santos Pais promotes the prevention and elimination of all forms of violence against children in all settings, including online and offline, the justice setting, in the home, in institutional care, in schools, in the workplace and in the community.

World-renowned Cleveland artist, Reverend Albert Lee Wagner passed away on September 1 of 2006 leaving his family, his ministry and his art behind.

It is all very continuous, powerful and left up to interpretation.
Please join Convivium33 Gallery and his ministry, The People Love People House of God, as Convivium’s gallery doors open to a collection of works that speak to you and take you on a journey of redemption and salvation. Albert believed that his art was an extension of his ministry and his personal beliefs.

“Supergirl Lives” In A Strong Start To The Season’s Back Half
January 25, 2017 By Tom Speelman Leave a Comment
In addition to having to pick up the momentum of all of Supergirl‘s various plot threads, “Supergirl Lives” also has to deal with the show’s hiatus building up the cultural conversation around it into something a bit more than “just another superhero show.”
By laying the groundwork and organically coupling up Alex and Maggie, Supergirl made a statement and the real-world results have been very heartening. Doubtless, if you’re a fan, you probably remember the Twitter thread that went viral detailing a comic shop employee helping a fan navigate her realization from watching Alex explore her sexuality realize that she was also queer.
That’s powerful stuff–and great PR for the show into the bargain–but stories like that also place some expectations on the show, meaning chiefly two things: 1. Is Supergirl going to fall into the hoary trap of “Kill Your Gays” like its CW stablemate The 100 did to mass outrage? 2. Where will the show go from here?
If “Supergirl Lives”–written by Eric Carrasco, Jess Kardos, and Andrew Kreisberg and directed by Kevin Smith (yes, that one; more on him in a minute)–is any indication, the answer to these seem to be, respectively, “No” and “More of the joyful adventures we’ve been providing.” This is a solid comeback episode that finally sees some off-planet action happen for a change.
While in a funk that all her important bad guys seem to have vanished and she’s left to stop jewel thieves, Kara encounters a frantic mother at CatCo pleading for help finding her runaway daughter, Izzy (Harley Quinn Smith). Perpetually irked Snapper–not as annoying here as he’s been, for some reason–ignores the story because he feels it’s unimportant but Kara sets out to prove him wrong. Naturally, this leads to more trouble than she bargained for.
Kara and Mon-El, taking a break from his new job replacing the imprisoned M’Gann as bartender at the “alien bar,” trace Izzy and similar disappearances to a blood-work clinic. Which turns out to be a front for sending people to the planet Maaldoria or “Slaver’s Moon” as part of a scheme cooked up by Roulette (Dichen Lachman). To make things worse, the planet’s under a red sun so they can’t use their powers.
Not only being the show’s first with the majority of the action set in space, but helmed by a splashy name like Smith (who’s directed two episodes of The Flash as well as the pilot for one of the CW’s first original shows, Reaper), this episode has a lot to live up to. Luckily, it does, with Smith proving to actually be quite good at television-level staging and direction, suggesting that maybe he should’ve aimed there instead of movies. While some of the action scenes are a little hard to follow, Smith’s natural talent for getting the best out of his actors–and the absence of his typical showy dialogue–leads to some great moments between Kara and Mon-El as well as Alex and Maggie and a wonderful monologue from Winn as he deals with fallout from almost dying at the start of this episode.
Speaking of Alex and Maggie, there’s a wonderful bit of Alex flipping out after Kara goes missing and taking it out on Maggie. It’s a tense, gripping moment that leads to genuine growth in the relationship. It’s fascinating stuff and hopefully the rest of the season follows up on it.

Daughters of Utah Pioneers present Dla( ue Saturday Byron News Byron enjoys spectacular celebration BY PAMELA COZZENS HOPKINSON 548-2471 pamhopkinson@gmail.com Anyone who was at the park Saturday night was mesmerized by the amazing fireworks dis- play. Wow and wow some more. It just keeps getting better. I know there is some buzz about doing away with this show, but please, please, please let's figure out a way to keep it going. (I have my grandkids here, so begging is now in my vocabulary.) For two busy days the town was buzzing with activity. The kiddie carnival started out with some windy gusts that didn't even faze the kids going from booth to booth. One of the longest lines was at the face painting booth where people were still lined up at 9 o'clock, long after the others had finished. There were snakes, skulls, butterflies, dragons and princesses being requested. Glit- ter included. The dunking booth was a busy spot. One little boy got eight turns and began by saying "I never miss" and he didn't. Lots of dunk- ing going on including the new Chief of Police John Wahl, the re- tired Chief Frankie and even our Mayor Bret George got dunked. The parade Saturday morn- ing was well attended and sever- al people commented that it was the best yet. A welcome float was the Noall family float, making waves. The parade audience wel- comed getting a little wet. I found out that when my grandkids put their mind to it they can throw together a pret- ty neat float, and they did. They all wanted to dress up as west- ern characters and raided their grandpa's prop closet. The Caleb Sanders family looked great on the Byron Ward float portraying a family that prays together. Everyone loves a parade whether you're in it, on it, or watching it. I am so glad Marathon brought their float down from Cody. It was amaz- ing. I was impressed by the U- turn that driver did with that big rig. Saturday night was the alumni banquet and it was well attended. Ralph Watts did a great presentation about the fabulous 50s and Janet Dugger Haddix did a great job of deco- rating around a 50s theme. It is always good to have old (and I mean that in the nicest way) friends return home to Byron. Afterwards many were on the front lawn of the former school to catch the fireworks attraction. Thank you to the mayor and council and the recreation de- partment for your support of this great activity for the area. Thank you to the vendors who support our town celebration. Everyone is worn out, but in a good way. PATTI CARPENTER The Hopkinsons enjoyed a visit with grandchildren who raided grandpa's prop closet for costumes to wear in the Byron Day Parade held on Saturday. Here, (front row, l-r) Sadie Lofgran and Zinnia Nielsen, (back row, 1 to r) Lavender, Chloe and Lily Nielsen and Chase Huish show off their parade costumes in front of the Glen Hopkinson gallery on Main Street in Byron. COURTESY PHOTO The Lovell High School Class of 1957 gathered for a 55th reunion during Mustang Days in June. Pictured are (back row, l-r) Parthena M. Thompson, Ann C. Doerr, Marlene W.

Seeley, Bob Davis, Bud Mickelson, Wayne Spragg and Bob Meeker. On July 21 at 1:30 p.m. the Daughters of Utah Pioneers, Big Horn company-Sagebrush camp, will present the Big Horn Acade- my historical plaque dedication in Cowley. In the early 1900s many set- tiers were brought to northern Big Horn County. Various small schools were set up, but it wasn't long until the older students near- ing high school age and rapidly in- creasing in numbers were in need of a high school to serve the three areas. It was the policy of the LDS Church at this time to provide re- ligious and secular education for its youth. The decision was made to set up a school with the three towns taking turns as host. LDS Church School Commis- sioner of Education Horace Cum- mings was sent to Beaver, Utah, to interview Albert F. Fillerup to offer him the position as principal of the new high school. He agreed and in August 1909, the Fillerup family made the journey and the Woodruff Academy opened its doors Sept. 13, 1909, in Lovell. Two weeks later, the name was changed to Big Horn Academy. The school was moved to Cowley the following year and re- mained there permanently. The groundbreaking for the current building was Nov. 5, 1915, and the doors were opened for students in September of 1919. Special guest speakers at the presentation will be Katherine T. Brimhall, marker chairman from the International DUP board of di- rectors, and Iras Trover, Wyoming DUP regional representative.

("With Book and Plow," by Mark N. Partridge.) What a community we now have. Over the last 112 years, our small communities have grown and developed into fine towns that have prospered in all factors of daily life and businesses, tal- ents, education, sports, etc. The Pioneer Day book's theme this year, "Cherish Yesterday, Live Today and Dream Tomorrow," is surely an appropriate theme. This year the Pioneer Day Committee asked Edie Crosby to once again compile our annual book, which is so important to us all. Margue- rite Strom helped her, and other members worked hard to publish this wonderful book that we all look forward to. It is on sale at Cowley Merc and the Town Hall. It will also be available during the parade. The celebration begins with a trap shoot at the Lovell Shoot- ing Range Thursday evening at 6 p.m. Friday is the golf tourna- ment, the ice cream social held at the park and the adult dance/ mingle at the park with the music by the Cowley Boys. Saturday morning is the fun run and bike races at 7 a.m. The kiddie parade starts at 9 a.m., the main parade starts at 10 a.m. and the Pioneer Heritage Program will be held at 11 a.m. at the LDS church. There will also be a free bike drawing for kids 8-12-years- old and the drawing will be held during the main parade. Children can put their names in the entry box at the Cowley Mercantile. There will be a classic car show north of the city park on Saturday afternoon and a barbe- cue lunch in the park starting at noon, which is sponsored by the Senior League baseball. Also at noon, there will be kids games and volleyball. Later, at 1:30 p.m., the Daughters of Utah Pi- oneers will present a Big Horn Academy historical plaque. The rodeo will begin at 2 p.m., then horseshoe pitching at the park at 6 p.m. At 7 p.m. Syl- via Gams and Lynne Strom will host a talent show where peo- ple from near and far will per- form their special talents in the newly air conditioned log gym. An Ultimate Teen Night, sponsored by the Cowley Rec- reation District and the Health Coalition, will begin at 9 p.m. and will last until midnight at the senior baseball field. What a celebration. This Pioneer Day celebra- tion will be filled with family and friends, food, activities, mu- sic, talent and reunions. An im- portant reunion is the Class of 1962. Also, the Miller family will celebrate the 100-year anniver- sary marking the date that the Gottfried Miller family sailed from Russia to America due to the unrest preceding World War I. There is a great history of this family in the Cowley book written by Hermina Miller Gams. The family gets together to honor and remember the cour- age it took the Gottfried Miller family to immigrate to America, and their name will be inscribed in the American Immigrant Wall of Honor, along with many other immigrants, to be built near El- lis Island. The Miller family is honored also for their strength as a family and the many contri- butions they have made through all their descendants to our com- munity in the past 100 years. Welcome to all former res- idents of Cowley who come to celebrate the founding of their families in the early 1900s. Ev- eryone have a fine celebration. Watch for our E-edition announcement/

Don’T Look Up: Hyperobjects And Bland Branding, Chloe Preece
Markets, Globalization & Development Review
Popular reviews of Don’t Look Up have been polarised, ranged from admiring to dismissive. This Netflix comedy satirises the difficulty of compelling the uninterested to care and the failure of government to tackle our imminent extinction. As such, we are left with the question as to whether it is still possible, in 2022, to find humour in a film about the end of the world? Ultimately, the film is the product of the discourse it satirises; the star-studded cast and their activist message is lost in a failure to hold to account those most responsible for global warming by focusing …

Markets, Businesses, And Consumption In Refugees Settlements: A Review And Future Research Trajectory, Stefanie Beninger
The global refugee crisis is increasing, and many refugees will end up living in refugee settlements, also known as refugee camps. These settlements have dynamic economic activities, and such activities deserve attention. This paper draws upon academic and practitioner work to describe pertinent aspects of consumption, businesses, and markets in these settlements, including in relation to multiple stakeholders. These stakeholders can include, for example, governments, aid agencies, private sector, and local community groups. Based on these insights, the paper identifies key theoretical areas in need of attention related to these economic activities in refugee settlements, including market change, resilience, and …

Evolving Marketization, Societal Trends, And Indicators In Chile And The Andean Region, Cristian Andres Sepulveda, Clifford J. Shultz, Mark Peterson
The effects of marketization on Chile and the broader Andean Region are profound and systemic. Key indicators reveal trends toward economic growth, improved social conditions, and sustainable development. The marketization of the Andean Region, however, is a complex and evolving process. We report on recent developments, which necessitate some reflection on trends and prognoses. In particular, while marketization has led to better education, increased social mobility, and enhanced well-being, one of the most important challenges facing countries in the region is ensuring that the benefits of marketization are shared equitably among all members of society. Priorities include further improvements in …

Effectuation And The Social Entrepreneurship: An Empirical Study Of The Relationship Between Adopting The Principles Of Effectual Logic And Social Enterprise's Performance In Egypt, Hala Wasef Hattab
In Egypt, social enterprises are important to confront some of the major challenges facing the country. Nevertheless, they face several obstacles that hinder their development, social impact, and performance. In 2001, Saravathy developed effectuation theory which acknowledges how the decision-making process, action and implementation are practiced by entrepreneurs in an unpredicted and dynamic environment. Hence, effectuation can be suggested as a possible resort to improve social enterprises’ performance. Thus, the objective of the research is to investigate whether effective logic principles affect social enterprises’ financial, market, and innovative performance in Egypt. An online survey was shared via email with social …

Large broiler chicken companies have been under pressure by consumers to reduce their carbon footprint, improve animal welfare and labor practices, and enhance environmental quality across the industry. This study examines how large broiler chicken companies have addressed sustainability within video content directed toward consumers and posted on YouTube. To conceptualize this study, we used the 1990 Farm Bill definition of agricultural sustainability. It is important to examine articulations of agricultural sustainability as company messages often incorporate sustainability philosophies and ideologies while referencing specific production practices and goals. This study used qualitative content analysis to analyze 440 videos, and framing …

From Well-Side Meetings To Pelican Strategy: A Context-Based Approach To Combat Corruption, Lili Yan
Pace International Law Review
This article takes up the question of what strategy is to be used among different communities to eradicate corruption across borders. The debate between two legal scholars, Steven Salbu and Philip Nichols, over the viability of extraterritorial application of anti-bribery laws remains thought-provoking when we look at the effectiveness of the OECD Anti-bribery Convention or FCPA in curbing corruption. Empirical research shows that firms from countries with extraterritorial legal restrictions do not necessarily refrain themselves from paying bribes in foreign transactions. This article ties the Salbu-Nichols’ debate, ISCT, mediating institutions theory, and Pelican Gambits strategy together to structure a context …

Motivating Employees Through Servant Leadership, Fevzi Okumus
Rosen Research Review
Meeting customer expectations is critical for success within the hospitality industry and frontline employees play a key role in delivering customer satisfaction. Leaders who display a servant leadership style put the interests of employees and the organization above their own. To investigate how this leadership style influences employee motivation and behavior, Dr. Fevzi Okumus, UCF Rosen College of Hospitality Management, and his collaborators have put forward and evaluated a model of the interrelationships between servant leadership and employee engagement, job satisfaction, and absenteeism. They found that leaders evidencing this style positively impacted work engagement and absenteeism. Their findings offer important …
The Impact Of Lgbt Friendliness On Sexual Minority Travelers Perceptions, Heejung Ro 2023 University of Central Florida
The Impact Of Lgbt Friendliness On Sexual Minority Travelers Perceptions, Heejung Ro
There is a rise in niche travel for the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) community. However, few studies have investigated how the hotel industry can best appeal to these customers. At UCF Rosen College of Hospitality Management, Dr. Heejung Ro has undertaken the first study focusing on how LGBT friendliness and the attitudes of service employees may impact upon LGBT customers' perceptions and future intentions. While the findings revealed these two factors are regarded independently, it is important that hotels signal LGBT friendliness, as well as ensuring these travelers are treated respectfully.

Expectation Disconfirmation = The Hidden Menace Of Positive Airbnb Reviews, Wei Wei
The integrity of the peer-to-peer accommodation industry relies on peer assessment and the assumption that positive reviews are more likely to guide towards positive outcomes. But problems can occur when hosts go out of their way to accommodate their guests, hoping to score positive reviews. Dr. Wei Wei from UCF Rosen College of Hospitality Management and fellow researchers have found that such reviews create an online trail that encourages expectation, which is not necessarily a good thing.
Resident Satisfaction In Continuing Care Retirement Communities, Suja Chaulagain, Abraham Pizam 2023 University of Central Florida
Resident Satisfaction In Continuing Care Retirement Communities, Suja Chaulagain, Abraham Pizam
The senior living industry is big business and growing fast, thanks to increasing life expectancy. According to the U.S. Census, there were 53 million Americans aged over 65 in 2019. That figure is set to rise by 55% to 82 million—one in five of the population—by 2050. More and more seniors are already attracted to continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs). But what impacts resident satisfaction in this increasingly competitive market? New research led by Dr. Suja Chaulagain and Dr. Abraham Pizam at UCF Rosen College of Hospitality Management finds that above all, it's the social environment.

Measuring Transformational Experiences In Tourism, Asli D.A. Tasci, Maksim Godovykh
What makes a tourist's experience transformational? It's an important question given the growth of the types of tourism that seek to secure meaningful experiences. For decades, researchers have offered different definitions to guide practitioners. Drs. Asli Tasci and Maksim Godovykh of the UCF Rosen College of Hospitality Management have gone a step further and developed an empirical model for measuring whether experiences are transformational. The research has produced more than a few surprises.

Despite the importance of involving residents in local tourism, few research studies have investigated the concept of empowerment. A novel study conducted by UCF Rosen College of Hospitality Management researchers Dr. Kayode D. Aleshinloye and Dr. Asli D.A. Tasci and their collaborators explores the drivers of empowerment within tourism and, in turn, the factors that empowerment influences. Their research highlights the potential benefits for residents, such as improved quality of life and attachment to their surroundings, and has important practical implications for tourism planners and policymakers.

Travel And Life – A Development Perspective, Xiaoxiao Fu
Whether we travel to discover the unknown or to simply take a break from our daily routine, it's often said that travel broadens the mind. But how exactly does travel impact life, and how does the relationship between travel and life change at different life stages? In new research, Associate Professor Xiaoxiao Fu at UCF Rosen College of Hospitality Management and her collaborators take a developmental perspective on tourism consumption and look at how travel and life inform and shape each other, from childhood to maturity.

Children Allegedly Engaged In Sex Acts With Each Other At Carson Preschool
CARSON (CBSLA.com) — At least six parents have sued a Carson preschool following revelations that their children were allegedly involved in sexual acts with each other on school grounds.
Attorney Greg Owen filed the lawsuit Tuesday against First Lutheran Church of Carson School on behalf of the parents, who claim staff members failed to supervise the students and allowed them to engage in the inappropriate behavior.
Richard McCarthy said his 5-year-old son was molested in an unlocked bathroom in Oct. 2012.
“A teacher opened the door and saw this girl performing oral sex on my son,” he said.
The sexual misconduct reportedly occurred multiple times in the bathroom, on the playground and during naptime.
Owen said the girl who allegedly had contact with McCarthy’s son was molested by another child last year and school officials didn’t do anything about it.
The attorney said that girl’s family is also part of the suit against the preschool.

Impact-generated hydrothermal alteration on Mars: clay minerals, oxides, zeolites, and more
Schwenzer, Susanne P. and Kring, David A. (2009). Impact-generated hydrothermal alteration on Mars: clay minerals, oxides, zeolites, and more. In: 40th Lunar and Planetary Science Conference, 23-27 Mar 2009, Houston, TX, USA.

In the Noachian, Mars’ crust was deeply affected by impact crater gardening, and subsequent hydrothermal alteration. While water was present in the Martian crust, frequent impacts provided prominent heat sources that drove hydrothermal systems. Those systems were scattered randomly over the planet’s surface and variable in size, but generally spanned the diameter of any ≥10 km complex crater. These systems were also deep reaching and long-lived with central crater uplifts and crater modification zones affected by the most intense water flow. Because circulating water driven by a temperature gradient changes the thermochemical status of a system, mineralogical reactions inevitably took place. Similar mineralogical consequences have been documented in terrestrial impact-generated hydothermal systems. Approximately half of all known impact structures on Earth show hydrous alteration phases produced by the interaction of water with a melt sheet and/or hydrothermal systems that penetrated the crust beneath the crater floor. Immense systems have been documented in drill cores from Earth’s largest impact structures, such as the Chicxulub crater (Yucatán, Mexico) and the Sudbury structure (Ontario, Canada). As we have shown earlier for the basaltic crust of Mars, thermochemical changes caused by circulation of heated formation brines mainly result in the crystallization of sheet silicates (serpentine, chlorite, nontronite, and kaolinite), amphiboles, oxides and hydroxides (magnetite, hematite, diaspore), and additional minor phases. Our results compare favorably with those from sattelite-based spectroscopic measurements of the Martian surface by OMEGA and CRISM (aboard the European Mars Express and U.S. Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, respectively). They report many of the same minerals, amongst them several smectites and micas – such as kaolinite, Fe/Mgsmectite, saponite, illite/muscovite, and chlorite – but also hydrous silica, zeolite, and carbonate. Potential testimony of impact-generated hydrothermal systems has been found in three Martian craters so far: hydrous phases are located in central peaks and inner crater walls in a ~100 km diameter crater in Mawrth Vallis, a crater of similar size in Terra Meridiani, and an ~20 km diameter crater in the Western Isidis region. In addition to producing mineral assemblages similar to those being observed on Mars, our calculations constrain formation conditions. Our results suggest that alteration assemblages are largely controlled by the water to rock ratio (W/R) and temperature, while the pH is bufferd by the precipitating and dissolved species. Our previous studies showed that three sheet silicates, which also have been found on Mars (chlorite, nontronite, kaolinite), point to specific formation conditions: Chlorite is indicative of intermediate to low W/R and occurs over the whole temperature range. The clay minerals nontronite and kaolinite indicate intermediate and high W/R, respectively. Moreover, nontronite forms below 250 °C only. While our previous studies focussed on the parameters pressure, temperature, and W/R, in this study we explore the influence of host rock variability on the resulting alteration assemblages.

Amphibole: A major carrier of helium isotopes in crustal rocks
Tolstikhin, I.N.; Verchovsky, A.B.; Kamensky, I.L.; Skiba, V.I.; Gannibal, M.A.; Vetrin, V.R. and Tarakanov, S.V. (2016). Amphibole: A major carrier of helium isotopes in crustal rocks. Chemical Geology, 444 pp. 187–198.
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chemgeo.2016.10.020
The first evidence for a specific role of amphiboles in He isotope balance of crustal rocks was presented in early contributions by Gerling et al. (1971, 1976). Since then it was shown that 4He and 3He concentrations in amphiboles generally exceed those in the host rock samples. Recently amphibole was considered as an important carrier of noble gases and other volatiles components in the course of their subduction into the mantle. This paper presents new data on the balance and mobility of noble gas isotopes and major gas constituents in amphibole separates in order to understand sources and evolution of volatile components of 2666 Ma old alkaline granites from Ponoy massif (Kola Peninsula), which underwent metamorphism 1802 Ma ago.
In the amphiboles 3He, 4He and 40Ar* were dominantly produced in situ due to radioactive decay of the parent isotopes and associated nuclear reactions. A small fraction of He (≈ 3% of the total) is liberated by crushing and shows 3He/4He ratio indistinguishable from that found by total extraction. The fraction of trapped 40Ar* amounts to ≈ 40%; both these fractions presumably occupy fluid inclusions and show rather low 4He/40Ar* ≈ 0.1, a factor of ≈ 150 below the production ratio (calculated assuming no loss / gain of the species has happened since the time of metamorphism).
3He has been better preserved in amphiboles compared with 4He: the retention parameter (measured amount of He / totally produced amount) for 3He (≈ 0.4) exceeds that for 4He (≈ 0.15).
He extraction by fast and slow linear heating of amphiboles resulted in different release patterns. The fast heating (within 12 to 40 °C min− 1) revealed a superposition of two peaks. When heating with slower heating rate (below 8 °C min− 1) was applied, the high-temperature peak disappeared (the “disappearing site”). Extractions of He atoms from grain and powder samples at different heating rates have shown that: (1) the “disappearing site” is revealed by the fast heating analyses of different amphibole samples but not only those from the Ponoy massif; (2) amount of He liberated from the “disappearing site” is variable and generally much less than the total amount of He in the sample; (3) analysis of the powder produced in the crushing experiments never reveals the “disappearing site”; the temperature of He release from the powder is lower than that from the mm grain size sample by ≈ 50 °C. Possible explanations of the nature of the “disappearing site” are discussed. However, independently on nature of this effect, repeated gas extractions by heating at different rates would give additional information about structure and its transformation during heating of amphiboles.
The simplest explanation of the observed abundances of noble gas isotopes in the amphibole separates from Ponoy granites suggests local production, redistribution and partial loss of noble gases during evolution of the massif.

THIRD PERSON: Bonnie & Clyde (2010)
Moving, unsettling and bitter-sweetly funny, Proto-type’s Third Person: Bonnie & Clyde, investigates the events that unfolded out of the electric meeting of two of history’s most infamous lovers.
As they illustrate, control and sometimes miscommunicate the story, the performers veer between the emotional, the factual and the fantastical as they pick-apart the particulars of this strange love affair. Delivered in the third person through a variety of lo-fi media including video, drawings and overhead projection, Third Person: Bonnie & Clyde creates a fragmented tale of evidence, rumours and the surprising connections between love, life, death and donuts.
Written and Directed by Peter S Petralia
Performed and Devised by Gillian Lees and Andrew Westerside
Lighting design by David McBride
Music by Duncan Speakman with Violin by Richard Sandford
Third Person: Bonnie & Clyde was developed at Battersea Arts Centre (London) and the Storey Creative Industries Centre Lancaster. Supported by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.
Third Person: Bonnie & Clyde premiered at Nuffield Theatre Lancaster on 16 February 2010
“A charming, lyrical attempt to redeem two of history’s most notorious murderers… delivering 60 minutes of Romeo And Juliet with guns and a mounting body count.”
– Kultureflash
“…has plenty to say about the madness of love, and about the fragility of conventional ideas of law and morality, faced by a stronger force, in a brutal world.”
– The Scotsman
“It’s exciting and visually stimulating, with the attention to detail I have come to expect from Proto-type, and yet is a departure from their more grand work. You really get to know both the performers on stage and the real people that they almost embody.”
– Audience Member
“A captivating piece of presentational theatre. Wes and Gillian create an environment which evokes a feeling of sitting with an old acquaintance and being told a series of uncanny yet fascinating turns of events.”

Phonogram 3 Announced At Image Expo
ComicsImageNews
Courtney Key
By Courtney Key
After a four-year wait, fans of Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie’s Phonogram will finally see the third installment in the duo’s critically-acclaimed love letter to pop music. Phonogram: The Immaterial Girl was announced today as part of Image Expo, and will hit shelves in August.
Artwork for Phonogram: The Immaterial Girl, tweeted by Jamie McKelvie
Writer Kieron Gillen described the upcoming series as “our final statement to those characters” in a report published on Comic Book Resources. Phonogram began publication in 2006 with the first volume, Rue Britannia. The second volume, The Singles Club, ran from 2008 – 2010. The series focuses on the world of “phonomancers,” people who are able to use music to channel magic.
Artist Jamie McKelvie tweeted that while the pair are working on Phonogram, guest artists will join their current ongoing series for Image, The Wicked and the Divine, for its third arc, titled “Commercial Suicide,” including Stephanie Hans, Tula Lotay and Kate Brown.
The next year at Image looks to be very busy for Gillen. It was also announced that he will be co-writing a new series titled The Ludocrats with Jim Rossignol and artist David Lafuente.

PR: No Fluffy Puppies in Today’s News Rooms
Written on April 16, 2012 by Jay Ehret in PR, public relations, publicity
You know what you won’t find in any of America’s Television newsrooms? Fluffy puppies. Oh, I’m sure the people who work in the newsrooms own some fluffy puppies, but they believe that the audience watching the news doesn’t, nor is the audience interested in seeing any fluffy puppies.
photo courtesy of Patrick Hoesly
‘Fluffy puppies’ is a euphemism for nice news, human interest features. Stuff that doesn’t have blood and guts. That’s what the news rooms think you don’t want to see: fluffy puppies. As I was working to get publicity for local children’s book author Missy Balusek for this story on literacy, this is what one local TV newsroom told me:
They (the brass) have told us: ‘No fluffy puppies!’
Meaning, nothing that makes you feel good. And so, news directors sit eagerly by their police scanners waiting for the next criminal arrest, fire, murder or car accident. That’s what they think you would like to see on your television set as you watch the news before you go to bed. “Honey, let’s turn on the TV and see who got killed today.”
The Press Release in File 13
You have been taught that to get news coverage, you must send out a press release that follows a formula. If you do, you have a chance. According to Barbara Rozgonyi at Wired PR Works, to get your press release noticed, and potentially covered,
“It has to inform, educate and provide value to audiences and it has to be relevant. There’s no better way to raise your relevance factor than by connecting to news and trends with your message.”
That’s part of it, but according to the news directors there has to be something more, and that something is something bad. Am I exaggerating? Maybe a little. But watch your local news tonight. How much of it makes you feel good versus making you feel bad?
Make Your Own Newsroom
Traditional media thinks that people want negativity. You and I know that’s not true. But you don’t own the newsrooms, so you have to take matters into your own hands. Make your own news.
Take your news online. Create your own Facebook page. Create a website with a news and events section. This is what the local author did and the tour was a resounding success.
Then, concentrate your efforts on the traditional channels that do want good news. The local author has received plenty of publicity, like this feature article in the Wacoan magazine. And this guest shot on the local morning TV show: Moms Every Day ..and this story in the local Waco Tribune Herald newspaper.
Let the TV news directors and Newspaper Editors bathe in their bad news. Make and spread your own good news. Go where people are smiling, and want to make other people smile.

Summer in the city with Singer Songwriter Dilly Cooner
BY thislittlecity
That Plant Life – Virtuous Pie Pizza & Ice Cream
An Interview with Britt and Kare, Creators of the Community Cookbook
We all know Victoria has a rich music scene, but this is especially true in the summertime. That’s when many young musicians get their chance to perform in front of a live audience at markets and events around town.
Meet Dilly, a young up and coming singer who is passionate about music and making a difference in women’s health & mental health with her joyful outlook, volunteerism and sweet songs.
She’s been playing her guitar and writing songs since she was 13 and now is hoping to get into medical school and focus her studies on women’s health at UVic. This summer however, she’s spending her time playing around town before she hits the books in the fall.
When she’s not singing or studying, Dilly volunteers at several places, dedicating her time to the Foundry which offers health and wellness resources to kids 12-24. She also works with the Victoria Period Project that provides menstrual products to youth in need.
She says in a perfect world she would be able to blend all three things together: making music, working in women’s health and helping kids and others with mental health issues.
You can catch Dilly around town throughout the rest of the summer at the Moss Street Market on Saturdays, Bastion Square Market – August 20th from noon – 1pm, & on Sept 9th at University of Victoria as a part of the Band on the Roof Series on the SUB Rooftop.

Toronto FC vs Tigres UANL: Can TFC Get Past A Tough Test Against Tigres?
Posted By Kristin Knowles on Mar 7, 2018 in Analysis & Opinion, Match Previews & Reports, Uncategorized | 2 comments
Toronto FC vs Tigres UANL ~ 8pm ET ~ BMO Field ~ TSN2
Seems fitting that such an important game in the Concacaf Champions League comes on the six year anniversary of the last CCL “big game” for Toronto FC. Remember how we were all at the SkyDome, full of hope and delighting in our mastery over the Galaxy – well until that tying goal saw the game end 2-2 that is (though of course we moved past them to ultimately lose to Santos Laguna in the semi-finals). But still, it was a fantastic moment for TFC and we the fans – a lot of fun was had that night, and through that series – even though the 2012 season would turn out to be the darkest of timelines for Toronto and the fans, and the Reds wouldn’t return to CCL play until this year; so yes it’s fitting this game is today.
It’s OK if you’re feeling nervous about tonight’s game, TFC haven’t been firing on all cylinders in their first three games, and a disappointing loss in the home opener raised some questions about lineup choices and the team’s focus. Also nerve wracking is the current form of Tigres – after looking less than dominant in their first leg against Herediano, they came back to take their opening series in a very solid 3-1 win. Tigres are also midway through their season – oh the joys of CCL scheduling – which happens every year and puts MLS teams at a disadvantage in terms of team chemistry and form; but as this isn’t unexpected MLS teams have to find a way to deal.
Really the main question for tonight is what’s Greg Vanney’s linuep? Do we see the return of the 3-5-2, or does he stick with that 4-4-2 diamond? Some of that depends on available players; well, one player really – is Victor Vazquez healthy? Without VV’s ability to read the game and help get some offense going, there could be issues. There’s also the question of the right side – other than the inability to finish their chances that was the glaring issue in Saturday’s match; this isn’t meant to demonize Van der Wiel or Aketxe but their lack of defensive work was a problem and that can’t happen in tonight’s game. I think we’ll see the 3-5-2 lined up like this:
Yes I don’t have Marky Delgado in the lineup, and I struggled with that choice given he was an immediate difference maker on Saturday – I could absolutely see him slotted in to either Vazquez or Auro’s place in the starting XI – but the rest I feel pretty confident about, you have to go with the XI that has had the greatest success for the team. This gives the team a better balance between offense and defense, and sees players that have spent the most time playing together (for the most part), who understand each other and who work well together. I also left out Aketxe – if Vazquez doesn’t play then he too could take that role; he’s definitely got some very nice offensive skills and shouldn’t be discounted as an option; but again, I think this is the best starting option for Vanney.
That’s not to say that this lineup will easily triumph or match up against Tigres; they’re a very good team with a lot of quality players – everyone that’s feeling nervous only has to look at Andre-Pierre Gignac, Enner Valencia and Eduardo Vargas to have that worry ratcheted up another notch or two. This game won’t be easy – the pitch (yay for winter games? bah)and the weather won’t do either team any favours. I’m sticking with my podcast prediction of a 1-1 result, with hopes that I’m wrong and that Toronto has found its scoring boots.

Studies: COVID tied to persistent cognitive deficits in seniors
Authors: Mary Van Beusekom | News Writer | CIDRAP News | Jul 30, 2021
New studies show an association between COVID-19 and cognitive impairment in older patients, with one reporting memory problems and worse physical health 8 months after diagnosis and others finding cognitive decline and accelerated Alzheimer’s disease symptoms as long as 6 months after infection.
Memory problems, worse physical health
University of Oslo researchers led the first study, published yesterday in JAMA Network Open. It involved 9,705 nonhospitalized adults in Norway who had been either tested for SARS-CoV-2 at four large labs from Feb 1 to Apr 15, 2020, or randomly selected (untested). At that time, nearly all COVID-19 testing in Norway was in symptomatic patients. Participants, who completed the RAND 36-Item Health Survey, were, on average, 47 years old, and 66% were women.
After an average follow-up of 257 days after a baseline survey, 72 of the 651 COVID-19–positive respondents (11%) said they had memory problems, compared with only 254 of 5,712 (4%) of those who tested negative for infection and 80 of 3,342 untested participants (2%).
A multiple logistic regression model showed that SARS-CoV-2 positivity at baseline was strongly linked to memory deficits at 8 months follow-up, compared with the untested group (odds ratio, 4.66).
At the same time, 267 of 649 participants (41%) in the COVID-19–positive group reported that their health had substantially deteriorated over the previous year, and 59 of the 267 (82%) who reported memory impairment also said their health had worsened. Eighty-one of 651 positive respondents (12%) said they had difficulty concentrating. Similar numbers of patients in the three different groups reported depression, lack of energy, and pain.

Will Hazardous Chemicals Cost 3M in Alabama?
The environmental health of a Decatur-area river has one major corporation embroiled in serious legal dispute. Due to allegations of leaking potentially hazardous chemicals into the Tennessee River, an environmental group has brought a lawsuit against 3M, BFI Waste Systems of Alabama, the city of Decatur itself, Morgan County and others. That group, Tennessee Riverkeeper, cites the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act as basis for its grievance.
It has also suggested that risks to human health and the local environment at large warrant closer attention. While US District Judge Abdul K. Kallon recently refused to have the case dismissed, he admitted that much hinges upon whether the chemicals in question—PFOA and PFOS—truly qualify as hazardous, a determination that must be left to experts given the Act’s ambiguity with respect to qualification.
Tennessee Riverkeeper founder and director David Whiteside was adamant regarding the lawsuit’s merits.
“After nearly five decades of 3M’s pollution of the Tennessee River, where no one has held the defendants accountable, Riverkeeper needed to act to protect this precious resource and all the wildlife and restore justice to the hundreds of thousands of people who rely upon her waters everyday,” he said via news release, per Alabama.com. “We don’t mind 3M making profitable products—but, we cannot tolerate the defendants putting profit ahead of the health of people, the environment, and our water.”
That said, the allegedly hazardous status of chemicals in question isn’t the only relevant factor according to defense attorneys. William A. Brewer III, counsel for 3M, argued that facts surrounding the case will vindicate the manufacturer’s track record.
“3M has always operated in compliance with its legal and regulatory obligations,” he noted. “The company voluntarily ceased the manufacture and use of these chemistries well over a decade ago. Since that time, 3M has worked in close collaboration with state regulators to address the environmental presence of these compounds.”
Of course, it remains to be seen what precisely the corporation has actually done amid said collaboration. Moreover, the case may well highlight whatever extent Alabama regulators have effectively pursued the removal or neutralization of these chemicals. If it is indeed the case that 3M proactively ceased production thereof, there may already be ample evidence that the company was aware of their potentially hazardous status.
Meanwhile, counsel representing local and public interests implicated by the lawsuit are maintaining that 3M is exclusively responsible for the discharge and any requirement that it have been cleaned up.
The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act under which the suit is filed grants the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) right of control over hazardous waste throughout its potential lifecycle.
Is Your Business at Risk of Litigation?
Whether your company is involved with practices that might affect the environment, any potential harm to the public can elicit litigation. Moreover, you certainly needn’t be as large as 3M to attract legal attention—frivolous or otherwise. Should you require assistance (including simple advisement) whence it comes to corporate litigation, Cloud Willis & Ellis has the skill, pedigree and commitment to represent your interests successfully.
