Yesterday on Democracy Now! Emily Henochowicz was interviewed. Which for personal reasons, yesterday marked the 14th anniversary of my accident, was rather symbolic. For those unaware, Emily is a “twenty-one-year-old American art student who lost her eye [while in the West Bank] in May after being shot in the face by an Israeli tear gas canister at a protest against Israel’s attack on the Gaza flotilla.”
Now it isn’t my intent to get drawn in to arguments about what happened, I’ll refrain from comment, this time. Rather I’d most like to comment on the aspects of her story for which we share a connection, seeing what August 5th represents for me every year. Having the unthinkable occur and being forced to live the rest of a life with the result. I can, most definitely, relate.
I admire Emily for her courage, not only since May 31st, when she lost her eye, but previous to that day as well. Knowing full well how her family — her father being an Israeli citizen and she is the Grand Daughter of Holocaust survivors — would feel about her participation in a protest against Israeli “re-actions” toward the flotilla attempting to break the siege on Gaza? Yet still feeling the need to be there? I think that, in and of itself, is a powerful commentary toward the facts, or at least how she saw them, on the ground.
What I’d most like to say regarding the interview is I couldn’t help but notice her not so subtle awkwardness throughout the entire time she spoke. Granted, she lost half of her visual ability — and the fact she happens to be a visual artist merely compounds that loss — just this past May, and that is a very good reason for her “fidgetiness.” I assure you, it’s all still very raw, both physically and especially mentally. It will take time to heal. And fair enough. But, all that aside, she didn’t seem to be angry about what happened to her.
Yet she came on to talk about the incident regardless? That was truly remarkable!

Fire Safety Requirements
Fire Safety Requirements
NICET: The new standard of excellence
After 50 years in the fire alarm industry Universal Electronic Alarms has kept abreast of new technology and the increased ability of our enemies to infiltrate and defeat security and fire systems. Fire alarms are usually the first indicator of a catastrophic event. As a result our technicians must be the best and highest certified personnel available. The National Institute for Certification in Engineering Technologies (NICET) has become the new standard of the industry. This having been said, many fire alarm companies in the Untied States today do not have NICET certification. Today’s support for NICET among the fire protection industry is increasing as professional awareness grows concerning rudimentary problems and failings in previous fire installations. Many of the companies with NICET certified technicians have provided expertise in developing the existing program. This benefits both the industry and the individual companies by expanding training parameters in the continually evolving field of fire alarm technology. The existing NICET testing program has proven difficult to pass the first or in many cases even the second test examination. The typical process to achieve NICET level I involves up to six months of intensive study just from registration throughout the actual test taking. Level II usually takes two or three times to pass. In many cases this involves two years from start to finish to obtain level II certification. Due to the fact that the testing cycle is regionally issued on an annual basis scheduling is paramount and difficult for busy fire alarm companies. It is not surprising that even though 20,000 NICET certificates have been issued, it is not an easy test to pass. We can only estimate that the number of technicians that have failed to pass the NICET test is astronomical www.nicet.org. There are basically four levels of NICET certification. Level I requires a minimum amount of field experience in actual installation. Level II requires six to eighteen months active and continual experience with verification required to achieve certification. Level III significantly raises the bar requiring at least five years verifiable installation and employment criteria. Level IV involves ten years active and continuous status with the additional requirement of having supervised a major project www.pearsonvue.com. Universal Electronic Alarms in proud to have NICET level IV certified staff. Providing industry and our national defense the highest level of certification available with the best trained technicians in the industry.
View the full NICET - Code of Ethics Here
Underwriters Laboratories Incorporated (UL) was founded in 1894, by William Henry Merrill. As a 25 year old electrical engineer, Merrill saw the necessity for certification and testing in his professional field. Underwriters Laboratories has developed a benchmark of standards for alarm equipment and test procedures to comply with an elite safety criteria. The primary function of UL is to uncover hazards. Specifically those hazards that lead to fire and/or electric shock. UL established the “UL” labeling service for products and equipment that are deemed suitable for UL standards and inspections. UL inspectors perform factory inspections on labeled products at manufactures facilities. This is a practice that remains the trademark of UL’s testing and certification program till this day (www.wikipedia.org). UL Fire testing is conducted on both active fire protection and passive fire protection items that endure different test methods and scales. Techniques vary from full scale, to small scale, to bench scale test. There are test on systems (electronic and hydraulic) and there are also test on materials to ensure components comply with code so that they may be used within an alarm system. Universal Electronic Alarms works together with Underwriters Laboratories (UL) by providing UL approved testing with a UL representative present who can further supply a UL certificate to the location www.ul.com Universal Electronic Alarms is a UL listed alarm contractor that installs UL approved devices as required in government businesses and Department of Defense (DOD) installations. Universal Electronic Alarms is exceptionally qualified to perform UL alarm testing, monitoring, installation and maintenance. Universal Electronic Alarms also works together with Underwriters Laboratories to schedule an independent UL representative to come to the location and ensure acceptable UL installation and safety standards. Universal Electronic Alarms is currently UL listed for fire alarms as well as defense industrial security alarms. As a premiere fire and security alarm contractor Universal Electronic Alarms’ involvement with UL is a fundamental step in the life safety industry. Universal Electronic Alarms has been UL certified for 20 years allowing them to provide service and UL installations on a superior level. No other alarm contractor has the amount of experience, expertise and education that Universal Electronic Alarms possesses in UL certification.
Unified Facilities Criteria
Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) is the standard for Department of Defense (DOD) installations. Since 2002 the United States Army Core of Engineers, Naval Facilities Engineering Command and the Office of the Air Force Civil Engineer are responsible for administration of the UFC system. By establishing the UFC the DOD unifies all design and construction technical criteria. This move enhances the departments’ ability to develop and maintain technical criteria that are current with technological advances and industry standards. “Under this consolidation the military departments expect to convert most of the existing facility-related handbooks, design manuals, engineering manuals, and technical manuals into UFC documents. The conversion also will utilize non-government standards to the greatest extent possible” www.defense.gov. The target of the United Facilities Criteria (UFC) program is to streamline the military criteria system by reducing duplication of information, increasing confidence in private-sector standards, and producing more efficient criteria development. Both technical publications and guideline specifications are part of the UFC program. Previously, each service had its own publishing arrangement resulting in criteria being dispersed into different formats. UFC documents in contrast, have a uniform format and are identified by a number (such as UFC 1-300-1) www.wbdg.org. The incorporation of all DOD criteria is the ultimate goal, some documents may not have been fully revised to reflect all service requirements before being issued into UFC format. In these occurrences the UFC document number will be followed by an alpha-designator (such as UFC 1-300-09N). Alpha-designators are as follows: A USACE F Air Force N Navy S NASA Universal Electronic Alarms is a pioneer is executing new UFC standards. For this reason, Universal Electronic Alarms is heavily involved with UFC development in many military and DOD facilities in California. Current projects include, Naval Weapons Center Pt. Hueneme, USMC Fort Irwin, Edwards Air Force Base and Naval Weapons Center China Lake, CA. Universal Electronic Alarms’ extensive cooperation with the military makes them the leader in UFC compliance for the coming years on into the next century.

Mass Notification is the new standard in total security integration. As the premiere alarm installation and security provider for several US defense contractors, Universal Electronic Alarms is the leader in Mass Notification Systems (MNS). From natural disasters to terrorist threats there has been a heightened demand for Mass Notification Systems. Universal Electronic Alarms provides clear recognizable voice messages that illustrate correct response in any emergency. Terrorist threats whether domestic or foreign require federal government and defense industries comply with regulatory codes for Mass Notification and emergency communication systems (ECS). For these systems to be effective, voice intelligibility requirements must be standardized. Both American and international fire alarm codes require voice evacuation systems meet specified levels of minimum speech intelligibility. Mass Notification is defined as a comprehensive solution that leverages a cutting edge communications technology to not only warn people of danger, but keep them informed and guide them to safety www.wikipedia.org. The definition further states that Mass Notification requires a top level, facility wide, multi-threat emergency communications platform. This evolution has involved the attention of regulators and as the field develops new listings and standards will play a defining role. In the 1996 terrorist attack at the USAF housing complex in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, 19 US service men were killed and hundreds wounded. At this juncture Secretary of Defense William Cohen issued a comprehensive report on the attack which concluded that there was no effective notification system with which to warn personal. In fact, at this time the recommend procedure for sounding an alarm consisted of having personnel go door to door through an eight-story dormitory, knocking on doors and alerting residence of danger. The inherent fallibility of this outdated approach prompted the US military to develop Mass Notification standards. In addition, in 2002 the Department of Defense (DOD) created the Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) 4-010-01 minimum antiterrorism standards for buildings. Two years later the DOD published the UFC 04-021-01 Design O&M. At this point Mass Notification Systems requiring the installation of intelligible voice notification systems in and around new inhabited buildings became a requirement www.securitysales.com. Universal Electronic Alarms continues to be the industry leader and sets the bar for excellence in Mass Notification installations and service.

Intelligibility the new protocol in alarm design. Current technology common to most fire alarm and emergency communication systems (ECS) includes the ability to broadcast voice commands directly to entire building occupants utilizing voice instruction. This can be done using either pre-recorded messages or microphone public address via the incident commander. Voice communication is intended to supplement audible fire alarm tones, strobes or sirens to alert personnel to evacuate the building nfpa.org. Audibility and intelligibility are separate distinct characteristics of sound that are both important. However in most areas audibility is most important where as intelligibility is more of a confined measurement. The question of where and when to implement intelligibility testing has proven to be the most significant issue on this subject. Where and when has to do with intelligibility within spatial (where) and temporal (when) sense parameters. Intelligibility is a measurable aspect of electronic voice transmission systems that specifies the scale in which human listeners will be able to understand the voice messages broadcasted through them. In other words, it is a measure of how well the human ear can comprehend electronic voice. The development of a repeatable test protocol that provides a practical and useful method to measuring a systems intelligibility performance has been achieved. The era of intelligibility has arrived. This test protocol demonstrates that intelligibility can be foreseen in a practical manner www.lifesafetymagazine.com. Universal Electronic Alarms and the fire alarm industry traditionally have a different design focus than typical acoustic systems designers (for example: public address or music performance systems). The advent of a new test protocol requires a transformation of the industry to a higher quality in terms of how these systems are designed. The testing for Intelligibility includes clarifying detail with additional criteria involving: A. Calibration setup B. Where and when intelligibility testing should be performed Universal Electronic Alarms is the industry leader in intelligibility testing and looks forward to expanding and redefining this new technology.
When privacy is of the up most importance, you can depend on Universal Electronic Alarms to provide you with discrete noise masking systems for all applications.

A Wonderful Collaboration
Blancpain is celebrating, and justly so, its association as a presenting partner for the 2021 edition of the annual United Nations World Oceans Day. It is hosted by the Division for Ocean Affairs and the Law of the Sea (DOALOS) and produced in partnership with Oceanic Global.
A Wonderful Event
Oceans are an important source of life for mankind, and the quest to protect it for future generations is a commendable one. 8 June 2021 marks the event of the World Oceans Day 2021 with this year’s theme being “The Ocean: Life and Livelihoods”.
The ocean’s importance to human life is unquestionable, and Blancpain’s links to the marine-focused horology — read Fifty Fathoms dive watches — is legendary. It’s only natural that the two meet.
“To date, the multiple projects passionately pursued by Blancpain have led to tangible results, notably contributing to significantly increasing the coverage of marine protected areas around the world, with the addition of more than four million km2”.
A Wonderful Competition
For this upcoming Blancpain x United Nations World Oceans Day 2021, Blancpain will also be supporting a photo competition and the concert for the ocean that will mark this blue day.
To mark the public’s awareness of the beauty of the ocean, an underwater photography competition has been underway since 2015, with Blancpain also demonstrating consistent support for this initiative.
That’s All Folks!
So strap on your trusty Blancpain Fifty Fathom diver, get out your best diving photography kit, and help Blancpain and UN save the oceans.

On December 12, Tesla denied a report from Reuters on December 9 indicating that the Amercian electric vehicle maker’s Shanghai factory will suspend production of its Model Y from December 25 to January 1 next year.
The memo obtained by Reuters detailed Tesla’s latest production plan. Tesla aims to produce over 20,000 Model Ys in the last three weeks of this month. By contrast, the output of the Model Y from Tesla’s Shanghai factory in November was about 13,000 vehicles per week. According to this calculation, the output of Model Y in this factory could reach nearly 40,000 units in the last three weeks of this year.
Last week, Reuters reported that due to lower-than-expected market demand, Tesla’s Shanghai factory reduced production of its Model Y by about 20%, which was denied by Tesla China’s spokesperson.
According to the China Passenger Car Association, the retail sales of new energy passenger cars reached 598,000 units in November, up 58.2% year-on-year and 7.8% quarter-on-quarter, of which Tesla China accounted for 10.5%. Tesla China sold 100,291 vehicles in November, while exporting 37,798 vehicles.
By the end of November, the Shanghai factory has delivered more than 650,000 new vehicles this year, and its annual production capacity is estimated to exceed 750,000 units, making it Tesla’s highest production capacity factory in the world. In order to replicate the success of its Shanghai factory in the United States, firm founder Elon Musk sent 200 engineers from Shanghai to the United States in November this year to guide the production of the company’s Fremont factory.
In order to improve sales, in addition to a recent price reduction and preferential treatment, Tesla has introduced subsidy policies in China as national subsidies are about to end. Consumers who purchase vehicles and pick them up on time in December are eligible to receive an insurance subsidy of 4,000 yuan ($573), while customers who place orders through online channels will receive 20,000 points, which can be exchanged for gifts such as charging services and roof racks.
According to the research data of Wedbush Securities, Tesla’s global delivery volume is expected to reach 1.3 million vehicles in 2022, an increase of 33% from last year and a contraction compared with Tesla’s 50% growth target. Tesla CFO Zach Kirkhorn also said that the annual delivery growth rate of Tesla this year will be slightly lower than the planned 50%.

The Tamil calendar is used in Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Puducherry in India, and by the Tamil population in Malaysia, Singapore and Sri Lanka. It is used today for cultural, religious and agricultural events, with the Gregorian calendar having largely supplanted it for official use both within and outside India. The Tamil calendar is based on the classical Hindu solar calendar also used in Assam, Bengal, Kerala, Manipur, Nepal, Orissa and the Punjab.
There are several festivals based on the Tamil Hindu calendar. The Tamil New Year follows the nirayanam vernal equinox and generally falls on April 13 or 14th of the Gregorian year. April 13 or 14th marks the first day of the traditional Tamil calendar and this remains a public holiday in both Tamil Nadu and Sri Lanka. Tropical vernal equinox fall around 22 March, and adding 23 degrees of trepidation or oscillation to it, we get the Hindu sidereal or Nirayana Mesha Sankranti (Sun's transition into nirayana Aries). Hence, the Tamil calendar begins on the same date in April which is observed by most traditional calendars of the rest of India - Assam, Bengal, Kerala, Orissa, Manipur, Nepal, Punjab etc. This also coincides with the traditional new year in Burma, Cambodia, Laos, Sri Lanka and Thailand. The 60-year cycle is also very ancient and is observed by most traditional calendars of India and China, and is related to 5 revolutions of Jupiter according to popular belief, or to 60-year orbit of Nakshatras (stars) as mentioned in Surya Siddhanta.
The traditional Tamil year starts on April 14, 2009, Kaliyuga 5111. Vikrama and Shalivahana Saka eras are also used. There are several references in early Tamil literature to the April new year. Nakkirar, the author of the Nedunalvaadai writes in the 3rd century that the Sun travels from Mesha/Chitterai through 11 successive Raasis or signs of the zodiac. Koodaloor Kizhaar in the 3rd century refers to Mesha Raasi/Chitterai as the commencement of the year in the Puranaanooru. The 8th century Silappadikaaram mentions the 12 Raasis or zodiac signs starting with Mesha/Chitterai. The Manimekalai alludes to the Hindu solar calendar as we know it today.
The days of the Tamil Calendar relate to the celestial bodies in the solar system: Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, and Saturn, in that order. The week starts with Sunday.
|Weekday (Tamil)||Weekday (English)||Vaasara (Sanskrit)||Lord/Planet||Gregorian equivalent|
The number of days in a month varies between 29 and 32.
|Month (Tamil)||Sanskrit Name *||Month (English)||Gregorian|
|சித்திரை||Chaitra||Cittirai||mid-April to mid-May|
|வைகாசி||Vaisākha||Vaikāci||mid-May to mid-June|

|ஆடி||Āshādha||Āṭi||mid-July to mid-August|

|புரட்டாசி||Bhādrapada||Puraṭṭāci||mid-September to mid-October|

|தை||Pausha||Tai||mid-January to mid-February|
|மாசி||Māgha||Māci||mid-February to mid-March|
|பங்குனி||Phalguna||Paṅkuni||mid-March to mid-April|
|The sanskrit months above would start one month ahead of Tamil months since the Tamil calendar is a solar calendar and the Sanskrit lunisolar.|
The Tamil year, in keeping with the old Indic calendar, is divided into six seasons, each of which lasts two months.
|kār||dark, rain||Varsha (rainy)||āvani, puratāci|
|kūtir||chill, wind||Sharada (autumn)||aippaci, kārthikai|
|munpani||early dew||Hemanta (early winter)||mārkazhi, tai|
|pinpani||late dew||Sishira (late winter)||māsi, pankuni|
|ilavenil||young warmth||Vasanta (spring)||chithirai, vaikāsi|
|mutuvenil||extreme warmth||Grishma (summer)||āni, ādi|
The 60-year cycle of the Tamil Calendar is also found in many North and South Indian traditional calendars, with the same name and sequence of years. Its earliest reference is to be found in Surya Siddhanta, which Varahamihirar (550 CE) believed to be the most accurate of the then current theories of astronomy. However, in the Surya Siddhantic list, the first year was Vijaya and not Prabhava as currently used. This 60-year cycle is also used in the Chinese calendar.
After the completion of sixty years, the calendar starts anew with the first year. This corresponds to the Hindu "century." The Vakya or Tirukannitha Panchangam (the traditional Tamil almanac) outlines this sequence.

The months of the Tamil Calendar have great significance and are deeply rooted in the faith of the Tamil Hindus. Some months are considered very auspicious while a few are considered inauspicious as well. Some of the celebrations for each month are listed below.
|Chithirai||Chitra Pournami & Varusha pirappu are the most important festivals in this month|
|Vaikaasi||Vaikaasi Visaakam is the most important day in this month.|
|Aani||Aani Thirumanjanam or Aani Uttaram for Lord Nataraja is the most famous day in this month.|
|Aadi||A most important month for women. The most auspicious days are Fridays and Tuesdays in this month, these are called Aadi Velli and Aadi Chevvai and the Aadi Amavasya. Aadi Pooram is also a special day.|
|Aavani||An important month with many rituals. Brahmins change their sacred thread on Aavani Avittam. Each Sunday of the month is dedicated to prayers - Aavani Gnayiru.|
|Purattaasi||An important month for Vaishnavas. Purattaasi Sani(Saturday) is an auspicious day.|
|Aippasi||The monsoons typically start over Tamil Nadu in this month. Hence the saying, "Aippasi Mazhai, adai mazhai" - meaning "Aippasi rains are persistent rains". Also Annaabishekam for Lord Shiva is very famous in this month. The most famous Hindu festival "Deepavali" is celebrated in this month. The Fridays of this month - Aipassi velli - are dedicated to religious observance.|
|Karthikai||Another auspicious celebration for Murugan devotees is Thirukaarthigai. The Krithikaa Pournami is the special day of the full moon in the month of Kaarthikai, and the star is Krithikaa. Each Monday of this month is dedicated to the worship of Lord Murugan.Every Monday is called "Somavaaram" when 108 or 1008 sangabhishekam are offered to Lord Shiva and Lord Muruga.|
|Maargazhi||This is another special month in the Tamil Calendar. Temples open earlier in the mornings and Devotees throng the temples early for puja and prasadam - the offering made to the deity which is later distributed to the devotees. Arudra Darisanam (Thiruvaadirai star in Tamil) is the most auspicious day in this month. This is also a very popular festival in Kerala, where it is called Thiruvaadira. The offering made to Lord siva is the Thiruvaadira Kali. Mukkodi Ekathesi is called "Sorgavasal Thirappu" for Lord Vishnu. The Tiruvembaavai fast takes place in this month.|
|Thai||Pongal, which is the harvest festival, is celebrated on the first day of this month. Thai Sukrawaaram is a popular day among Telugu speaking peoples settled in Tamil Nadu. Thaipusam is also a special day for Murugan devotees, who carry Kavadis to one of the Aarupadaiveedu (Literally meaning "six abodes").|
|Maasi||Maasi Magam is the special day of the most famous Mahasivarathiri and Maasi Magam which comes in this Month.|
|Panguni||Panguni Uthiram, the last month of the year, is a famous festival and special to Murugan and Siva devotees. The State Government of Tamil Nadu declared it a holiday, during which offices and schools remain closed. However, shops remain open and do brisk business. The state's active film industry also releases a few new films, and cinemas usually overflow with eager fans waiting to watch the earliest show with their favourite stars on the big screen.|
- The Hindus developed a system of calendrics that encapsulates vast periods of time. For computing the age of the earth and various geological and other epochs, as well as the age of mankind, they still employ a Tamil calendar derived from ancient astronomical data, known as the Tirukkanida Panchanga (cf. The Secret Doctrine, 2:49-51).
- This calendar contains a calculation of something over three hundred million years for the age of the present earth since sedimentation occurred, and a period of somewhat more than eighteen million years since the first appearance of our mankind.
- The 10th Tamil month, called Thai, falls in mid-January each year. It is celebrated with much enthusiasm within the Tamil Community all over the world. Thai is marked by gifts of new clothing for family members and prayers to God for prosperity in the coming year. Thai and the fifth month Aavani are considered very auspicious for marriage and most marriages occur during these months.
- The fourth month Aadi is considered inauspicious, so weddings do not often fall in this month. Aadi is also the month of preparation for the next crop cycle by farmers. Therfore, farming communities avoid major events like weddings in this month. Those members of the tamil community who don't actively contribute/participate in farming take advantage by having important functions like wedding in this month. For example, the business community prefers this month for weddings. Asdi is usually the worst month for business, although when businesses recently initiated Aadi discounts, this situation has changed significantly. Each Friday of this month is set aside for prayer and worship.
- (?) ia an inauspicious month for newlyweds to sleep together because a woman who conceives in this month will have a difficult delivery in May, the hottest month in Tamil Nadu (Agni natchathiram [pinezu] last 7 days of Chitharai and [munezu] first 7 days of Vaigasi).?)
- Purattaasi is when most of the non-vegetarian Tamil people fast from meat for a month. This faith can be considered similar to fasts undertaken by Muslims during Ramadan. Each Saturday of this month is set apart to venerate the planet Saturn.
- Deepavali, is celebrated on the new moon day, in the seventh month Aipassi. The month of Aipassi is usually characterised by the North-East Monsoon in Tamil Nadu, which has given birth to a phrase, Aipassi Adai Mazhai meaning the "Non-stop Downpour".
- Maargazhi falls in winter in Tamil Nadu, and is considered auspicious for unmarried women to find a groom. The Shaivite fast of Tiru-vembaavai and the Vaishnava fast of Tiru-paavai are also observed in this month.
- The total number of days in a Tamil Calendar is an average 365 days and the days of the week are named similarly to those of the western calendar. The Vakiya Panchangam is employed for both sacred and civil calculations. The Trikanitha Panchangam is employed for astrological calculations.
The Tamil Calendar is so important to the life of Tamil-speaking people that most of the Festivals of Tamil Nadu are based on it. Some of Festivals include Tamil New Year or Puthandu in mid-April, Thai Pongal, Deepavali, Panguni Uthiram, Thirukaarthigai, Aadiperukku, Navaratri etc.

GLASGOW-based Spider Online, one of Scotland’s top digital agencies, has been nominated for a major award at this year’s Drum Awards for Digital Industries (DADIs). This is the second time this year the agency has been nominated for a national award.
Spider Online was the only Scottish agency to have been nominated for a UK Marketing Society’s eCommerce Award in April, where they were up against international brands including Marks and Spencer, Aviva and LoveFilm.
Spider Online’s client Golden Charter, one of the leaders in Funeral Services Planning, has been nominated for a DADI in the ‘Financial Services’ category. The agency’s redesign transformed Golden Charter’s website from an online brochure into a complete funeral planning facility, delivering vastly improved commercial performance via sales and enquiries.
Spider Online’s managing director, John Campbell, said: “We have always worked hard to provide our clients with digital solutions that are imaginative, efficient and effective. We also aim to underpin each project with the best research available and then marry high-quality digital design with our innovative technical approach.”
A spokesperson: “The new website focuses on the strapline, ‘Giving you peace of mind about the future’, and enables customers to compare prices while delivering advice on all aspects of planning a funeral, including a directory of 2,700 independent funeral directors. In the first three months from launch, traffic rose 600 per cent, sales increased 11 times and enquiries through the site climbed 60 per cent. The number of brochures sent out rose 250 per cent in the first ten months of 2010 while the cost per sale fell from £514 to £183.
“Spider Online were also heavily involved in COSLA’s myjobscotland portal for local government jobs in Scotland, their second digital project shortlisted at this year’s DADI’s.”
The agency were commissioned to work closely with the Lumesse ATS (Application Tracking System) to improve site navigation and user perception, with a strong emphasis on search results, layout and vacancy pages. Fully user tested by Bunnyfoot, the new site has streamlined menu options giving easier access to the content, a comprehensive overhaul of the SEO and tagging, improved navigation including signposting and developed more evident shortcuts on the home page and top levels of the site.
John added: “While we always know that winning awards is not the be-all and end-all, we’re delighted to be nominated, especially as the work involved is not in areas – funerals and public sector recruitment – that are normally regarded as glamorous. However, the fact that we’re now starting to be nominated more often for awards is a terrific reflection of the quality of the team here at Spider.
“Winning would be nice, but just being in with a shout for a prestigious award like a DADI is fantastic in itself.”

A Traveller’s Seminar Side Trip (Discovering The North)
It all started unexpectedly when BFAD (Bureau of Food and Drugs) called me and said that there will be an A.O (Administrative Order) 56 “The Regulation of Licensing of Drug Establishments” seminar that will be held on June 12, 2010 at Vigan City, Ilocos Sur where I will be issued a legal certificate of license. They said that it is mandatory for me to attend especially when I am working at a pharmacy. So I told it to the administration of PDH (Pangasinan Doctor’s Hospital) where I’m currently working as a Pharmacist. Right away they gave me a Travel Order. All of my expenses at Vigan were sponsored by the hospital. So I stayed at Grandpa’s Inn Vigan City where the seminar was held.
It’s my first time to go to ILOCOS and I’m excited because all of this is a rush and unplanned. It was 5 hours travel from Baguio to Vigan city and it costs 237 Philippine Pesos via Partas Bus. When I arrived at VIGAN, it was almost midnight and raining but I still toured the place right away. I grabbed every opportunity and time to visit as much spots as I can. I went right away to the Heritage site called “CALLE CRISOLOGO” where old preserved Spanish houses are just everywhere.
The next day, it was seminar day. It started at 9:30 AM and ended at 2:00 PM. Good thing, I saw my long time friend and college classmate since 1st semester of 1st year JOAN TAGORDA, I sat beside her and caught up to the times that we haven’t seen each other. So after the long seminar about the A.O 56, R.A (Republic Act) 5921 and other laws, I immediately packed my things and went right away to Laoag city, Ilocos Norte. It’s a 2 hours travel from Vigan to Laoag and it costs 121 Philippine Pesos via Partas Bus. From Laoag, I rode a non air-conditioned bus to Pagudpod, it’s another 2 hour travel via Marlon’s Bus and it costs 60 Philippine Pesos. I enjoyed the fresh breeze of the wind so much while on my way to the known “Boracay of The North” which is Pagudpod. The sceneries going there are so rich in green pastures.
After arriving at Pagudpod, Ilocos Norte, I stayed at this Budgeted NORTHRIDGE Beach Resort located at SAUD Beach for only 1,000 Philippine Pesos per night and this time all of my expenses are already on my own, so I have to budget again like a Traveller. The second morning, I woke up early to tour what PAGUDPOD has to offer. I went to Blue Lagoon Beach which is a 40 minutes travel from Saud Beach. While on the way to Blue Lagoon Beach or what the locals call, the “Maira-Ira Beach”, you will pass by KAIBIGAN FALLS, it’s a 1 hour walk back and forth to this refreshing falls with an entrance fee of 10 pesos. While walking to Kaibigan Falls, you will encounter a lot of “BATIS” or Creek. Also while on the way to Blue Lagoon Beach, you will see the famous PATAPAT VIADUCT, a zigzag coastal bridge and AQUA GRANDE where the freshwater will meet the seawater. The last special spot that you will see before arriving at the famous Blue Lagoon is the BANTAY-ABOT CAVE. When I saw the BLUE LAGOON BEACH, it instantly became one of my favorites, it is truly a replica of the most popular getaway in the Philippines, Boracay. With blue water and white fine sand, you would want to run to the beach and dip your body right away… My Last stop to Pagudpod before going back to Laoag is another famous tourist spot, the BANGUI WINDMILLS, it is the project of Senator Bongbong Marcos, the son of our late President Ferdinand Marcos. And I salute him for that.
After visiting the main tourist destinations in Pagudpod, it’s time to go back to LAOAG for me to discover its special offerings. I stayed at Hotel Tiffany for only 630 Philippines Pesos. After checking inn, right away I visited the UNESCO World Heritage site, the PAOAY CHURCH or also known as ST. AUGUSTINE CHURCH OF PAOAY, ILOCOS NORTE. From Laoag to Paoay, the travel time is 30 minutes. I also visited the famous Fort Ilocandia Beach Resort, the Ilocos Sand Dunes where Tom Cruise had a shoot for his “Born on the 4th of July” movie and the Philippine’s PANDAY movies starring FPJ and Bong Revilla. I also saw the Malacanang of the North, Marcos Museum, Sinking Bell Tower and Ilocos Norte Museum (30 PhP entrance fee) for educational purposes. Of course, why would I forget, I’m a number one Food Tripper, I tried all the famous Ilocano Dishes like Bagnet, Bagpet, Pinakbet, Lauya and Vigan Longanissa.
All in all, thanks to the unplanned seminar, because of it, I was unexpectedly given a chance to discover ILOCOS and how beautiful the place was… I needed this for another break and truly God is so great and works in mysterious ways…
- Happy Loner Traveller

Car accidents happen too often, but when do you really need a lawyer? You may get involved in a car crash, and your car insurance company isn’t willing to cover the repairs. Or the other party involved in the accident doesn’t want to cooperate with you or compensate you for the damages. In cases where you find it difficult to hold the responsible parties liable, it’s advisable to get a car accident lawyer. With the proper documents and due process, your car accident lawyer can help you obtain the highest compensation possible for your case.
Compensation could be for injuries, property damages, lost wages, and more. If you’re in the United States and live in New York City, Woodbury, Mount Vernon, White Plains, Bronx, Mount Kisco, or Queens, navigate to this site to find reputable car accident lawyers who can help bring justice to your case.
But first, to help you choose the best car accident lawyer, take note of these six factors to consider before you make a decision:
1. Professional Service Fees
Choosing among a long list of reputable and reliable lawyers for your car accident lawsuit can be overwhelming. But before you even get there, make sure you’ve already set a budget so you have a range you can use to narrow down your choices. Keep in mind that you may need to reach deeper into your pockets if you want seasoned lawyers with extensive experience. Having a budget will also help you avoid exhausting your finances, which often happens in poorly planned legal cases. The good thing is there are many law firms out there, so if you’re patient enough to inquire about costs and compare differences, you’ll eventually be able to find someone willing to offer competitive services within your budget.
Reputable lawyers are logical, analytical, and manifest an outstanding ability to creatively solve legal problems. If your lawyer has a website, you can look at the comments people have written about them. Social media is another platform you can leverage to know how people view your lawyer. Be leery of car accident lawyers with multiple bad reviews. This could lead to a world of issues for you.
3. Communication Skills
An outstanding lawyer should know how to communicate with their client, car insurance company, and judges. Ensure that your lawyer can provide you as much detail as possible in regard to your case. Accident cases often require an extensive investigation process, including the need to speak with other parties. A prolific lawyer should be able to communicate effectively with all the responsible parties to get all the information critical to the progress of your case.
Good communication skills are also valuable in the courtroom. Your lawyer should be able to argue your case with wit, confidence, and persuasiveness, all with flawless eloquence. They must be able to convince the judge you deserve the compensation you’re claiming for.
Don’t overlook the need for an experienced lawyer on car accident proceedings. If you’re seeking a lawyer for your car accident case, do a bit of research about the lawyer’s previous lawsuits and their similarities to your case. Look for lawyers who have had a good number of successful car accident cases under their belt. You may also be able to get referrals to good lawyers if you ask family and friends who may know someone in this specialty.
Whether they work independently or under an office, a lawyer with a consistent quality of work should have a portfolio to show for it. If a lawyer has been highly successful in their prior cases, their portfolio will showcase this. This specific point couples with their reputation. Lawyers with good reputations will have portfolios with a lot of positive reviews.
A lawyer’s location isn’t only convenient when their client is severely injured and tied to their bed. The location of your lawyer is also useful for quick meetings, especially if there’s an emergency. More importantly, legal cases are best discussed face-to-face and not over the phone. It might be best to consider your lawyer’s location when making a decision.
Work With A Car Accident Lawyer
A car accident lawyer should be able to properly advise you concerning your case. They should also let you know the parties you should sue and represent you in front of government agencies and in court. Your car accident lawyer should conduct research and analyze your case. They should be able to interpret the laws, regulations, and rulings for you concerning your car accident case.

The Scarlet Macaw is the National Bird of Honduras and in 2011 an educational program funded by the Copan Maya Foundation was developed to teach adults and children how to protect it in the wild. As of 2018 over 6000 youths have participated in the program. The program provides handout materials and culminates in an annual “Festival de la Guara Roja” or “Scarlet Macaw Festival” with children from area schools participating. Educational modules on the conservation of the Scarlet Macaw are available free in PDF by clicking any of the links below. At present they are only available in Spanish.
Education has changed current thinking of youths in the area from capturing and selling the birds to developing an appreciation for an ecosystem where the Scarlet Macaw can be free and not a pet. The “Festival of Guaras” has become an annual event in the local community.

Butler to miss southern seasonHarry Warwick |
Ian Butler, the fast bowler from New Zealand, is unlikely to play at all in the entire southern season due to a damaged back, according to his first class coach, Bruce Blair.
Blair also told the New Zealand press that Butler had a bulging disc in his spine, thus making him bowl in pain over the last year.
Butler has been dropped from New Zealand’s 20 national contracted players recently too, maybe a repercussion of this injury. He has played 8 tests and taken 24 wickets at 36.83, as well as 15 ODI’s taking 14 wickets at an average of 39.85.
“He’s been bowling with pain for over a year, so we’ve decided it’s time we made some decisions about Ian which would give him his best chance of making a full recovery,” said Blair, who also indicated that changes in Butler’s action were imminent.

Title: The Little Book of Veganism
Author: Elanor Clarke
Page Count/Review Word Count: 96
This is a pretty sweet little book that acts as a decent introduction to veganism, but it’s going to be a little too simple if you’ve been vegan for longer than six months or so. Still, it has some good rebuttals for some of the main reasons that people attack veganism, and it also comes with some recipes that will be useful if you’re new. I’ll give it to Shay.

That generosity is part of Eleone Dance Theatre Artistic Director Shawn-Lamere Williams' mission. "We must invest in our children," he said after the show. "There's a saying, 'It Takes a Village to Raise a Child.' Today it takes a World to Raise a Child."
Funds raised from Carols in Color and its sponsors, including United Way of Delaware, Delaware Division of the Arts, AstraZeneca, Black Heritage Education & Theatre Group, Center Wilmington Early Learning Readiness Team, and Delaware Office of Early Learning, help to support Christina Cultural Arts Center Education Programs.
For the uninitiated, Carols in Color is an original production of the Eleone Dance Company in Philadelphia, conceived by the company's founder, E. Leon Evans, II. It combines modern dance and a live Gospel chorus, as well as music from various gospel artists, to tell the Christmas story starting from Gabriel's first visit Mart?. Several local students of Christina Cultural Arts Center? also participate in the show.
The first act of Carols in Color focuses on the confusion, helplessness and hardship Mary and Joseph faced as they dealt with her very unexpected pregnancy. Most of the first act is comprised of beautiful solo dances -- performed this year by Anthony Rhodes as Gabriel, Dara J. Meredith as Mary, Matthew Thomas as Joseph and A'aliyah Khan as the Angel of God -- with their voices sung by Jeremy Isaac, Tina Finks/Germaine Downing, Kairi Guinn and Tia McNeil, respectively. Songs include "What Shall I Do," "Bridge Over Troubled Waters" and "No Place To Go."
The second act opens with "Go Tell It On The Mountain," as Mary presents the baby Jesus, played by little Dakota Meredith. The celebration continues with "Hallelujah" from Handel's Messiah: A Soulful Celebration, "The First Noel," "Silent Night," with "Angels We Have Heard On High" finishing the show with the entire cast of dancers and singers on stage.
If you missed this year's celebration, be sure to catch it next year, when the company will continue the tradition for the 23rd year. For more information on how to support Christina Cultural Arts Center and Carols in Color, go to ccacde.org and eleonedance.org.

The need to communicate
They explain that a comms strategy is vital to being able to communicate information about the work a cleared defense contractor is executing without giving away too much information. When developing a significant capability others may be able to observe the work and become inquisitive. Whether they are neighbors, businesses, news media or others, what people are naturally going to do is inquire about it.
Additionally, it may be necessary to present information at conferences, award ceremonies, promotions, advertisements and etc. So the question is, how do we talk about the program to meet the requirements, to convey information to Congress, to oversight to others and to tell the good news story to the American people about how their tax dollars are being spent. At the same time it may be necessary to withhold information that is very beneficial and could help an adversary or competitor figure out what the work is and how its being executed.
Tool to communicate
So the communication strategy is something that sets expectations for how to deal with the media or contracting or other elements. It provides left and right limits of things you want to emphasize, things you don't want to emphasize, and talking points and messages that to reiterate over and over again and areas that you want to avoid.
The next step is to put it all together and get buy in and conduct training on the strategy. Once done, coordination with the program office, public affairs, and other partners should be incorporated. This will enable employees to go forward and talk about their program, but at the same time feel comfortable that they're not going to disclose any information that may not be classified or otherwise sensitive.
This strategy is a great tool for employees who need the guidance to feel comfortable on how to speak about their projects. Many times employees are given little guidance in the form of bumper sticker communications; "its classified", "think OPSEC", and etc.
This strategy provides the employee with no way to communicate and therefore they may be nervous or unable to discern what to speak about or when. However, an employee with a training on the communication strategy can intellectually discuss their work while understanding what is sensitive and what is not. Additionally, business development, contracting, graphics and other departments will be able to do their jobs as well.
Building the tool
The best way to discuss a communication strategy is to begin with:
Describe what the program or project is or mission
Determine the work streams necessary to accomplish the mission.
For each work stream, determine what information is sensitive using a classification guide, OPSEC plan, DD Form 254, ITAR, or organizational documentation describing sensitive information.
Determine how to talk about the work without revealing the sensitive information
Train employees on the strategy-This may be incorporated into security awareness training or insider threat training
Develop processes to review communication to determine whether or not sensitive information is being released-review presentations, bids, emails, etc.
Not every aspect of sensitive work is sensitive. There are ways to communicate awards, accomplishments, contract wins, or share with the friends and family without revealing sensitive information.

Many people have developed successful, highly profitable businesses in Dubai. New operations are encouraged by the government and your local partner might be enthusiastically supportive. Export and manufacturing industries are especially strongly supported by government, particularly as regards the acquisition of land on which to construct a factory. If you set up such a business in a free trade zone, of which there are several in the region, it’s granted exemptions from import and export duties, commercial taxes, building and property license fees, land tax and restrictions on the transfer of capital invested in the zone.
Dubai has a fair judicial system, a liberal economy, no income tax or corporate tax, no trade barriers, quotas or foreign exchange controls, 100% repatriation of capital and profits and strong investor incentives from the government of Dubai.
An emirate of more than 200 nationalities and cultures, living and learning from each other and creating natural vibrancy and globalization, Dubai is also strategically located between the great continents of Europe, Asia and Africa and attracts approximately 5 million investors and tourists on an annual basis.

I've started a spectral monitoring of one my favorite star, FF cam.
I discovered this star in 2009 by a routine survey of Be stars. Considering the Bess program, this star was observed only once par year before. I was surprised in 2009 in two consecutives nights, while redoing spectra due to bad SNR, to see how much the h alpha profile has changed. I did some others spectra in 2009 showing a great activities in H alpha and let it down for a while. At this time i was using a LhiresIII spectrograph, centered on H alpha with a power of resolution of 15000.
In the beginning of January i restarted a monitoring with my eshell setup, covering the whole optical window. I've took nearly one échelle spectra every night from Jan, 6th trying to described completely the behavior of this star.
Associated with a soft X source, this star is certainly an unknown Be/X binaries with orbit phase dependent H alpha profile. These binaries are composed of B type dwarf star and a compact object, white dwarf neutron star or black holes orbiting close from each other. Nearly 4 weeks of daily observations cannot let find any period in the equivalent widht (strenght of the line) or profile in H alpha. More observations are needed, as Be/X binaries may have period from tens of days to tens of weeks.
So first results, sent to Anatoly Miroshnichenko University of North carolina, are presenting here, only in H alpha for the moment. All échelle spectra are available in Bess database. Mean SNR is around 70, power of resolution is 10000, dispersion 0.1A.
Enjoy observing this star as often as you can, it is circumpolar. It belongs to the realm of the rare aftermath stellar binaries among the Be star.
Update: Comments from Anatoly Miroshnichenko (University of Greenborough, North Carolina):
"I looked at the information on FF Cam. It has a near-IR excess which
is partly due to the interstellar extinction and partly to the
circumstellar gas radiation. What is more interesting is that it is
associated with an X-ray source. This may indicate that it is an
Be/X-ray binary system. What is needed is a UBV photometry and a
measurement of the strengths of the diffuse interstellar bands at
5780, 5797, and/or 6614 A. I think I see them in your eshelle spectra
(at least 5780). You (or I) can sum up all your data for the spectral
order that contains this band to increase the signal-to-noise ratio.
This band equivalent width correlates with the interstellar extinction
(Av). In combination with the photometry and some other spectral
features (for example, the line intensity ratio of HeI 4471 and Mg II
4481), this will get us the spectral type and an estimate of the
circumstellar reddening. Your spectra already show that the Be star
has a mid-B spectral type (perhaps, B4-B5 or so), because the Mg II
line is stronger than the He I line. I can look at these issues
closely and ask colleagues for an optical photometry.
Another high mass X binaries in Cameolopardis is CT cam who is a B[e], belonging to FS cma group. It is known to have a black hole around a B supergiant, with transient X ray ouburst. May FF cam belonging to the FS cma group too as it has a IR excess ?
Update: Webpage on H alpha spectra of FF cam http://www.astrosurf.com/garrel/FFcam.html

Trying out new ways to document safety issues on streets
One recent Saturday I took a casual ride via the Skyline route from SF to San Mateo. This is a route I often take during non-shelter-in-place times to make the "long commute" from Sausalito to Mountain View with SF2G. I used the opportunity to photo document some bicycle safety issues on the route (mostly debris and overgrown vegetation into the shoulder). I used rough guide: cataloging issues where more than 1/2 the shoulder is unavailable for some reason.
- You have input a specific geolocation for each issues, and I had over 20 issues to report
- There is no embedded way to add photos
- I have historically not had much success having issues resolved through this tool. It sometimes feels like a black hole
After a couple days I decided to call Caltrans, fully expecting that it would be a quagmire. But after about 3 transfers and voicemails I was in touch with someone at the maintenance facility for SF & San Mateo Counties. They provided an email address to send the map and supposedly they've got the work in their queue. Hopefully I'll have some results to report!

Interview mit Sourcing Legende und Social Talent Gründer Jonathan Campbell
Seit einem guten Jahr explodiert das Thema Sourcing in der deutschen Recruiting Szene. Es wird zwar nicht sonderlich viel drüber gebloggt, aber das mag auch daran liegen, dass die klassischen Personalmarketing Themen sich für manche scheinbar etwas eher zum Verbloggen eignen. Auch ich selbst blogge nur wenig über das Sourcen, wenngleich es doch ein Schlüsselinstrument im Recruiting darstellt, welches stetig an Bedeutung gewinnt.
Ende letzten Jahres habe ich dann dank Jan Hawliczek und Tobias Ortner die Chance bekommen, Johnny Campbell persönlich kennen zu lernen. Seit dem hat sich ein regelmäßiger Austausch zwischen uns vieren etabliert und der deutsche Recruiting Markt darf schon auf ein paar Überraschungen im Herbst gespannt sein. Steigen wir nun in das kurze Interview mit Johnny ein. Wer Social Talent noch nicht kennt, dem empfehle ich das Interview hier. Wer Social Talent bereits kennt: Johnny wird dieses Jahr im September auf den Social Recruiting Days in Berlin sprechen - eine absolute Empfehlung für jeden Recruiter/ Sourcer.
Steigen wir nun ein ins Interview:Johnny is the founder and CEO of Social Talent, a company that has the lofty ambition to improve the productivity of every professional worker in the world with better knowledge, tools and data to be better at what they do. Everyone has to start somewhere so Johnny and his team have started with recruiters and so far they've turned nearly 20,000 recruiters from companies like Microsoft, Intel, GE, Manpower, Randstad and Adecco into Sourcing Ninjas. The company's platform is used in over 90 countries by more than 1,000 companies and their blog is read by nearly 100,000 recruiters a week. Johnny's wife and family still thinks he find people jobs and his 3 kids think he is a trained assassin. The truth lies somewhere in the middle.
since Social Talent is not that known yet in Germany, could you shortly introduce Social Talent and the Sourcing Ninja/ the Black Belt?
Social Talent was founded in 2010 with a mission to raise the standard of recruiting by providing recruiters with the right knowledge, skills and tools to be more effective. Through our online learning platform we have trained and qualified nearly 20,000 recruiters as Black Belts in Internet Recruitment, turning them from ordinary recruiters into “Sourcing Ninjas”!
What inspired you to found Social Talent?
10 years ago I was living in the Caribbean running an offshore recruitment agency. I returned to Ireland in the summer of 2008 to start up a recruitment agency with my business partner, Vincent, not knowing that we were entering into the world’s worst recession. We quickly realised that in order to survive and compete we were going to have to figure out a way to find talent that no-one else was finding. Social Media was just taking off and sites like Facebook and LinkedIn where growing like crazy. We figured that there had to be a way of searching through all of these newly created online profiles and leveraging all of this social sharing to find talent and promote our services. Through trial and error and with the pressure of having to feed young children and pay the mortgage, we figured out how to use these new media to deliver a headhunting quality service at contingency fees. As we started growing our agency we quickly realised that we could have more impact training all the other recruiters out there rather than competing with them and within less that a year we had shifted our business model and Social Talent was born!
Lately, the topic of sourcing has been discussed progressively in Germany and companies have started very carefully to integrate sourcers into their talent acquisition processes. One discussion has come up which from my point of view was very interesting. It is not enough to learn the skills you need for sourcing but furthermore you need a specific mindset. Do you think anyone can become a Sourcing Ninja or are there specific prerequisites that a Ninja student has to meet?
From our experience, anyone can become a Sourcing Ninja. It’s not all about writing boolean strings and x-raying websites, being a Ninja is about learning how to best leverage the tools that are right there in front of you so as to deliver an exceptional recruitment service to your customer. Ninjas write better job ads, they display higher emotional intelligence when conversing on the phone, they write more impactful and personal emails and they treat the candidate with more respect. Recruitment does take a particular mindset and not everyone can be a recruiter but every recruiter can be a sourcing ninja.
Social Talent is active in over 150 countries all over the world. What is the most interesting cultural difference in terms of sourcing you have experienced on your trips?
There are definitely more similarities than differences and finding and attracting talent is pretty much the same everywhere however culture plays a very important role when it comes to things like engagement and communication. Whilst the principles apply everywhere (make it all about the candidate, ask questions, focus on their drivers), the execution needs to be tailored for each market.
Germanys biggest Recruiting and Sourcing conference is about to open its doors in September. You are one of the main acts. So high expectations from our side. But what are your expectations towards Germanys biggest Sourcing conference and the sourcing community?
I’m excited to see how we can all help grow the German sourcing community and begin to bring in more recruiting and HR professionals who may still see us as a “fringe” element. In Ireland, the UK and US, we were considered “fringe” when we all started doing this 8 years ago and now it’s mainstream. I’m looking forward to starting on that same journey in Germany, accompanied by some of the amazing people who will be presenting at Social Recruiting Days alongside me.
Thank you very much, Johnny! CU in September in Berlin.

So I totally stalk the chefs. If I respect their dishes, I want to get to know them. After all, I used to be a cook, and these chefs have a lot of passions in common with me. Nowadays I mostly sling code, but I can't do it without great fuel - and you are what you eat. That's how I met Derrick Jones. Here's this mighty looking dude, serving up raw-violis with his partner in crime, Patrick. These gyus are like the dynamic duo, and they seem like really interesting peeps - so anyhow, I say hi, and chat when I'm in the cafe and live vicariously through their learning (by enjoying their work!)
Fast forward a couple of years, and Derrick's coming over to hang out and get me to try these chocolates he's been making. Me and my wife are floored. They're incredible - they're rich - they're nutritious. The chocolate has snap, it's not too sweet, and the flavor combinations are nothing short of gifted.
I'm going to highlight a few of my loves:
Chocolate Midnight Sky - soft, almost brownie-like, and fulfilling.
Mocha Vruffle - my first love, these are the most amazing blend of nibness with luscious chocolate.
Chocolate Graham Flax - slightly and magnificently crunchy, the name says it all
And the thing is, Derrick's *still* trying new combos. He dropped me off some "Cocoa Mocha Squared" bites and I'm just stunned - the man's got energy for life and passion for wholesome deliciousness coming from every pore in his body - and sincerely, easily.
I'm inspired. I'm delighted, and I'm honored to share with you the beauty that is Derrick Sky chocolates.

The Israel Numismatic Society
Now Available (January 2023)
Publications of the Israel Numismatic Society
Numismatic Studies and Researches Volume XII
This volume presents a die study of the provincial silver coinage of Judah in the late Persian, Macedonian and early Hellenistic periods. It offers correct descriptions of the coins, their designs, and their inscriptions; enumerates the obverse and reverse dies identified for each of the 44 recorded types and explains the probable sequence of the issues as deduced from iconographic associations and die links.
The iconography of the coin types is examined in depth, with comparisons to motifs in Greek, Persian, and ancient Near Eastern art, including other local coinages and sources in Judahite material culture. The monograph also analyzes data relating to the metrology, metal content, and circulation of the coinage. Overall, the study attempts to place the Yehud coinage in its historical context and to define its role in the economy of the ancient province of Judah.

History and aims of the Society
The Israel Numismatic Society (INS) was founded in Tel Aviv on May 10, 1945. Its first president was David Nudelman. In 1956 the INS approved a charter, which laid out the objectives and functioning of the society until recently. Since then three branches, in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and Haifa, grew up and have conducted regular monthly meetings. A journal on behalf of the INS, the Israel Numismatic Journal, was published, beginning in 1962. With the presidency of Prof. Dan Barag, the journal was reactivated (with Prof. Dan Barag as editor); ten volumes have appeared since 1980. Paralleling the growth of the state, the Israel Numismatic Society has greatly developed from its modest beginnings in 1945 as “The Numismatic Section of the Tel Aviv Circle of Amateurs of Antiquities.” Through the efforts and expertise of several people, from collectors to professors, the Society has advanced mode numismatic research in the small country. Several of its exceptional publications (ten volumes of Special Publications and five volumes of Corpus Nummorum Palestinensium) and journals continue to broaden our understanding of financial and political events throughout Israel’s ancient and mode history. In March 17, 2006 an updated charter was unanimously approved by a general meeting of representatives from all of the branches. This updated charter will ensure that the INS will continue to function efficiently in the coming years. At this time a new journal, the Israel Numismatic Research (INR) was founded. The Society's Special Publications have been reactivated in 2015, with the appearance of Vol. XI.
For the full history of the INS click here
The main objectives of the INS are:
- the advancement and of the study of numismatics in Israel
- the encouragement of numismatic training and research on all levels among Israeli institutions and private individuals
- the administration of and coordination between the INS branches, in which lectures and other activities take place
- the holding of scientific conferences and symposia on numismatic subjects
- the cooperation with sister organizations abroad in general, and with the Commission Inteationale de Numismatique (CIN) in particular
- the collaboration with other Israeli academic organizations in tangential fields
- the publication on a regular basis of a scientific joual and related studies on its behalf.
The two INS branches in Tel Aviv and Haifa conduct monthly meetings, which include lectures by professionals and collectors and seminars presented by the members. In addition, the members use the monthly meetings to exchange information and discuss coins on an informal basis.
The society will hold a plenary session once a year, preceded by a country-wide symposium.

We are pleased to announce a new DXpedition by I2VGW: an holiday style round trip to the islands of Columbus’ first landfall in the New World. Gabriele has already in his hands licence and callsign, so he plans to be operating as C6AGW starting April 26th through May 6th from New Providence main island (NA 001), Bimini Islands, (NA048) and Berry Islands (NA054), two quite rare and claimed IOTA references. And, what’s more, before come back to Italy, from Long Island (NA-001). So, copy and listen carefully to catch the right reference and location.
Please keep in mind that, this time, it will be a very holiday style operation (with his first mate and supporter: his wife Roberta).
In any case, as usual, Gabriele will give great emphasis to digital modes and WARC bands but SSB too.
C6AGW set up will be a new dipole to test, Icom 7200, vertical HF3 and a Buddipole.
For further informations now and any update, during the I2VGW’s trip, please give a look at his DXpedition web site : http://www.mdxc.org/c6agw
The Mediterraneo DX Club is proud to support this Dxpedition. Website, media promotion, online log-check, propagation forecasts and assistance during I2VGW operations are offered by MDXC DX-pedition staff.

I simply love it when I unexpectedly stumble upon something beautiful, fascinating and inspiring. Approximately 15 mn walk from my parents' house, one can find a pretty majestuous water tower, built in 1865; it had been standing empty since 1940 when, in 1999, it was refurbished by the city council and opened as a contemporary art gallery.
For the whole of September, the gallery is hosting an exhibition of the work of the lacquer artist Rémi Maillard, a former fashion designer now based in Nancay, in the Sologne region of France. There, he has his very own gallery/shop as well as his workshop: ARTSETDECO
Inside the water tower, some of Rémi Maillard's most impressive works adorn the thick stone walls. As soon as you enter, you are confronted by the artist's astonishing work.
There are two sides to Rémi Maillard's work. We first see the result of the artist's work: his artworks - sculptures, large bowls, large decorative panels, screens, triptychs - are among the most beautiful things I have ever seen: they are multi-layered and ornate, shiny, with lavish colours, rich and precious materials; they are incredibly complex works of art, at the same time dense and transparent, delicate and incredibly strong.
The works carry poetry, mystery, imagination, lyricism, and are completely timeless, suspended in mid-air between the real world in which they have been created and another otherwordly universe we can only touch with the tip of our fingers - and our marveled eyes.
A fascinating film is also shown as part of the exhibition; it shows the artist at work, and what work! The video reveals the painstaking and laborious endeavour that is the creation of a work of art made of lacquer. Rémi Maillard is inspired by traditional Asian methods - he has travelled extensively throughout the region - and uses ancestral know-how and expertise.
Lucky you, it is online and you can see it here (it is in French, but you can still follow the process and see some of the works, which makes it all so very much worth it!): REMI MAILLARD L'AME DU LACQUE
Rémi Maillard continues in the path of the celebrated Jean Dunand, who is considered as the greatest lacquer artist of the Art Deco period, and whose son and successor as maître lacqueur he had met.
For the francophones and francophiles among you, here is a more detailed résumé of the artist's biography and inspiration:
Magical and awe-inspiring.

For better or for worse, many of us now spend much of our time interacting online on social media. In fact, in June 2015, Facebook estimated 968 million daily users. Facebook has prided itself on reaching out to a variety of communities, including aligning itself with non-profit organisations to provide internet access in remote areas. With that said, Facebook is still very much led by an all-white Board of Directors and is catering to a majority U.S. audience (i.e., white, English, Judeo-Christian, middle-class).
As a convert, I still mostly operate within the majority context; however, for those on the fringes, Facebook still fails to be representative of their needs, values and identities. Here are the main issues affecting some Muslim women:
Facebook privacy settings allow users to choose the audience for various pictures – making entire albums or individual pictures available publicly, to friends, or to a customized list of friends – this option is not available for profile pictures. A profile picture follows you through most of your interactions; that is, it can be viewed by anyone who may come across your profile through a search, through group interaction or through interaction with friends.
While I don’t particularly welcome Facebook groups that discourage Muslim women from posting pictures online, some sisters – along with a growing number of concerned Facebook users – do wish to limit which community members can see their profile pictures. It would be much more convenient if Facebook would enable people to have private profile pictures and, for those who post in public forum, that picture could easily set to turn into the “default” Facebook profile image or even allow users to set two profile pictures: one for public use, one for setting of users’ choice.
This issue was originally brought up by a number of trans* and drag queens when, according to Facebook, several hundreds of such accounts were reported as fake. Our trans* sisters were heard and Facebook issued a statement apologizing for the problems the policy has caused. However, to date, the policy has not yet been reviewed and still states that authentic names as confirmed by acceptable identification forms must be used.
There are a number of reasons why our trans* people and drag queens – including Muslim trans* and drag queen sisters – feel threatened by the real-name policy. While I do not encourage complete anonymous use of social media, every individual should be free to identify as they wish online, using aliases for privacy, modesty or identity purposes. Personally, I do not list my last name online, making myself only slightly harder to find on social media. For many converts I know, they have adopted a non-legal Arabic name along with their new Muslim identity. Using this name online helps them validate their Muslim identity often not recognized legally and sometimes even socially amongst colleagues, family and sometimes even friends.
In some cultures, mothers are socially referred to as “Umm (mother of) [name of their first born]”. While this cultural practice has been criticized by the United Nations, women who strongly identify with this appellation may wish to socialize online using it.
According to a Buzzfeed poll, 40 % of users refuse to put their relationship status on Facebook and 31% percent stated that they have listed a friend as a partner “just to be ironic”. So perhaps relationship statuses on social media are mostly irrelevant, but in spite of (or maybe because) its lack of relevance, it was somewhat shocking to me that Facebook only allows monogamous relationship links on its page.
As of February 2011, Facebook now lists 11 types of relationship status: Single, In a relationship, Engaged, Married, It’s complicated, In an open relationship, Widowed, Separated, Divorced, In a civil union, and In a domestic partnership. Of those, only “Single” and “Separated” does not allow you to link to another user.
Most of these are legal statutes and, as such, are implied to be monogamous as per anti-bigamy/anti-polygamy laws in the U.S. (similar laws exist in Canada and other countries). However, “It’s complicated” and “In an open relationship” are not legal statutes and imply non‑commitment/non-monogamy. As the large number of people using adultery websites suggests, many people today seek out non-monogamous relationships online. While many people would probably wish to keep their extramarital relationships secret, and not share them on Facebook, adultery is certainly not the only way non-monogamous relationships are practiced today. There are for example quite a few articles out there that list “ethical” non-monogamous relationships.
It is time that Facebook recognizes those who want to share their non-monogamous relationships and allows users to link to ALL of our significant others.
While some may disagree, Facebook is now how many of us interact socially within and outside of our “real-life network”. I do not imply that anyone *should* hide pictures, use alternate names or enter polygamous relationships but rather that those who wish to do so be provided safe and supportive alternatives to do so.

Using my skills in graphic design and printmedia, I plan to design and print graphic t-shirts which use imagery and/or text to address the issues of violence.
I seek to engage audience predominately young adults. By keeping the t-shirts non for profit, the buying cost will be very low (hopefully maximum of $10) so that anyone can buy them, but most importantly, in their wearing the shirts I hope that it will serve as a conversation stimulator amongst their friends, family and passersby in the street.
I seek to address the need of awareness. Most young people near where I live (Melbourne) often do not concern themselves with anything unless in concerns themselves. By creating wearable art with a strong non-violent message behind it, I hope that having it literally in young people’s faces will mean that they will stop and look for a second and through discourse they will become more aware of the complete injustice of the use of violence and war.
The aim of this project is to foster better understandings of the positive role that religion and interfaith dialogue can play in society. People will be able to learn about peace builders from diverse backgrounds in a non-intimidating setting. I would also like to see a better understanding of active non-violence and its role in conflict and societal transformation.
I plan to engage previously unengaged people through new media, intellectual discussion, and hot topics. The audience will hopefully be people who are new to the topics of interfaith and peace building.
I am planning on addressing the wider Australian community. This will hopefully curb racism and hatred of particular groups in society though understanding and discussion.
NONVIOLENCE AND INTERFAITH ZINE
A zine about non-violence and interfaith / cross cultural dialogue that the other course participants could use as a resource (e.g. give out at uni)… it would be a collaborative project because I would ask the course participants to send me any quotes / poems / song lyrics / rants / art that I would include in it.
FAITH EXCHANGE (NSW)
This vision will be achieved by what I have called a “Faith Exchange” where we (the participants) visit each other’s places of worship and participate in those forms of worship. This can be in whatever capacity the host wants to share. I made it clear through the invitation that this is not a massive commitment, but rather something fun and informal that we can share. The only thing asked of participants is to write up a page (or however much they want) at the end of the month detailing what they have taken away from the experience.
INTERFAITH LOVE FEAST (SA)
Liam Grant, Yasir Hussaini, Peter Trieu, Arefa Hassani, Marziya Mohammadi
Thursday April 5th : 6-8:30pm at CitySoul 13 Hutt St, Adelaide
The first of hopefully many times to break intolerance and break bread together. A time of feasting, dialogue and learning together about faith, peace-building and the common thread of humanity that connects us.
Come ready to make new friends, share your story and be part of a diverse, inclusive movement in our community.
We would also love your input, as this movement is something we hope will take form and shape as we all question and learn together. So any idea’s for this or other events to come would be great!

TELOPEA’S WOMEN’S SPIRITUALITY GROUP
I seek to achieve the vision by organising and running a Women’s Spirituality Group in Telopea, that promote interfaith and intercultural understanding and learning. This group will also include women who are feeling isolated and have no sense of belonging in the faith or community. This group will also provide language of connection, growth within ones-self and nonviolence.
THE BRAHMA KUMARIS YOUTH
The aim of this project is to get the youth within the Brahma Kumaris to practically apply the ideologies and philosophy of our faith to a tangible and relevant topic, such as nonviolence.
The project is called PeaceMeal and involves gathering a group of 6-10 people to share meals over 6 weeks. At each session, the focus will be on one of the 6 Principles for Nonviolent Living and Peacebuilding (developed by McKeague, Chappell & Trippe, 2010). At the end of the 6 weeks, each member is invited to initiate their own PeaceMeal (or some other project that they have been inspired to start) with another group that they will organise and facilitate. After another 6 weeks, the original members of the first PeaceMeal meet again for a catchup meal and discuss how their PeaceMeals (or other non-violence projects) are going.
First Meal : Saturday 31 March 11:00am @ Hyde Park Fountain, picnic at Botanical Gardens
Welcome to lunch! But not just any old lunch. Over the sharing of our food, we invite you to share stories about Peace & Nonviolence. I wonder what this conversation, these friends you haven’t met yet, could inspire in you …What are the principles of nonviolence? What does peace look like today in our society? What are practical things we can do to engage and live peacefully and nonviolently? How does faith or spirituality speak of nonviolence? Could meals help us to cultivate peace?Please bring: Yourself, a friend and your stories. Also, very importantly, food & drink that you would like to share with others. Bring a picnic rug if you can. Cutlery, plates and cups will be provided.

CONNECTIONS FOR PEACE
Getting young adults from different faith traditions together to discuss ways we might be able to work together for peace/justice/community building in our community/nation/world
NONVIOLENCE MOVIE AND DISCUSSION NIGHT (NSW)
My project is to run an initial dvd screening of ‘Pray the Devil Back to Hell’ and discussion night, to scope out a group of people who are interested enough to form the offline group of the Facebook Group ‘TRANSFORMED NONCONFORMIST‘. DVD screening and discussion in a central location at a convenient time. The DVD is ‘Pray the Devil Back to Hell’, which I have chosen because the incredible impact this non-violent campaign had in Liberia. It raises all kinds of interesting points for discussion including inter-faith cooperation and partnership, grass roots non-violent action vs armed intervention, and the powerful role of women and the marginalised in conflict. The location chosen is Macquarie University, and the event has been organised with the support of The Salvation Army Macquarie University, a student group who are able to book university resources without cost.

A short reflection on Matthew 18:15-20, the gospel lesson for Proper 18a, according to the Revised Common Lectionary.
No matter how holy the person, or how pure their intentions, eventually they are going to hurt someone else. It’s inevitable.
When we are hurt, there are the two great temptations: 1) to strike back with vengeance and spite, and 2) to put on a fake smile and pretend that everything is just fine. Some people are naturally drawn to one of these. Sometimes we’re drawn to one or the other because of the situation or the person involved.
But, neither way brings peace.
Peace only comes from the hard, and sometimes painfully awkward, work of reconciliation.
Jesus, whose way is a way of love and peace naturally provides some instruction for what happens when, not if, someone hurts you. First you try and work it out yourself. Directly. Face to face. If that doesn’t work, then you bring in a trusted third party. And, if that also fails, then you being it to the whole assembly. If this third plea falls of deaf ears, you walk away, and let it go.
There’s great wisdom here, if we’re willing to listen. If we’re willing to do the more difficult thing. It’s easier to skip everything else and move right to step #4 and walk away. It’s easier to talk yourself out of step #1, and just forget the whole thing even happened. It’s easier to just shut down if step #1 doesn’t work.
Reconciliation is hard. But, homes and friends and communities and churches who do the hard work not only get through the bad times, but they are stronger for it. And, their love has a tensile quality to it, for it was hard fought.

"All knowledge, the totality of all questions and all answers is contained in the dog." ~ Franz Kafka (1883-1924)

This little angel was being carried around the Christmas fair in Menton. Her owner happily posed her for me, with the rest of the family calling to her to get her attention for the camera. She's a baby, of course - 11 months old and heaven in a little bundle.

Copper machining has several manufacturing advantages, such as very high electrical and thermal conductivity, good tensile strength and excellent malleability and ductility. In addition, it has antimicrobial and biostatic properties. Hence it is mainly used in electrical devices and installations, plumbing, marine applications, and in areas of public health, such as hospitals.
While pure copper is difficult to machine, the work-around is to use copper alloys such as free machining brasses, or recently developed alloys such as the low-alloyed copper alloys, copper-nickel alloys and lead-free copper alloys. Each of these has a different level of machinability, and therefore working with these alloys require specialized knowledge and expertise.

报告题目: Factor Modelling for Clustering High-dimensional Time Series
报告人: 潘光明 教授 （新加坡南洋理工大学）
报告时间: 2022年11月3日(周四) 15:00-17:00
报告地点: 腾讯会议 ID： 211 199 855
报告摘要: We propose a new unsupervised learning method for clustering a large number of time series based on a latent factor structure. Each cluster is characterized by its own cluster-specific factors in addition to some common factors which impact on all the time series concerned. Our setting also offers the flexibility that some time series may not belong to any clusters. The consistency with explicit convergence rates is established for the estimation of the common factors, the cluster-specific factors, the latent clusters. Numerical illustration with both simulated data as well as a real data example is also reported. As a spin-off, the proposed new approach also advances significantly the statistical inference for the factor model of Lam and Yao (2012).
This is a joint work with Zhang Bo, Yao Qiwei and Zhou Wang.

Review of Attendance Policy St Canice's Co-Ed N.S
We are reviewing several school policies at the moment as part of ongoing school review and development.
The procedure involved is as follows:
Policy review is co-ordinated by an assistant principal and /or principal.
When a policy is due for review or if external events such as a Dept. Directive make a review necessary, the relevant staff management members review the existing policy to see if it is in line with requirements and if it suits the current profile of the school.
If changes are required they are made. The policy or amended policy is then reviewed by staff.
Next, the draft is presented to the parent body for parent input. This is done in a few different ways depending on the policy-through the Parents’ Association, through the website, through email or in hard copy form where parents are in the school e.g. Parent Teacher meetings.
The suggestions etc are then reviewed by the co-ordinating team and where necessary, brought back to staff.
The final step is where an agreed, amended policy is brought to the Board of Management and is further discussed. When the board is happy with a policy , it is ratified and signed by the board. It then becomes official school policy until the next review.
Over the next few months I will be posting policies for your input/observations/suggestions.
We welcome your input and each input will be carefully considered.
The general time frame is three weeks for return of submissions.
Feel free to call in or to email your suggestions to email@example.com
Alternatively fill in the accompanying form and click submit
This is a copy of our draft Attendance Policy.
Closing date for submissions Thursday February 9th.

|Stephen and Margaret Wadsworth|
After being away from the office for several weeks, on this particular day, I was back at work, and catching up with my crew. We were hanging out in the hallway behind the computer room— remember, the one with the glass windows on all sides—when all the sudden something caught the corner of my eye, and it wasn’t the blinking lights.
Unconsciously, my head spun, my twenty-something eyeballs bored a hole right through that first pane of thick glass, through the computer room, and through the second pane of thick glass, and landed on…
Without a thought, I blurted, “That’s THE ONE.”
With a bunch of guys standing around looking at me like I was nuts.
No…I mean literally, right there, staring across an ice cold computer room, past the blinking lights, through two panes of thick safety glass, I fell head over heels in love…with her.
“What?” they asked.
“That one, she’s THE ONE. I am going to marry that one,” I burbled.
“Which one?” someone asked.
“The tall blonde one with the amazing…”
“That one? Keep dreamin’. . . That girl wouldn’t give you the time of day. Waaay out of your league!” another replied.
“And she’s got a rock on her finger the size of Everest. She’s taken,” they warned.
“Doesn’t matter, she’s THE ONE. She’s mine, and I am marrying her. Just watch.”
Absolutely true story.
In one magic moment, everything that ever happened in the past, to either of us, came together to put us on either side of two panes of glass in Newton, Massachusetts—all the trouble, heartache, failures, success. . . the schoolyard scrapes, the graduation gowns. . .
Seriously—think about it—if not for that one insane moment dribblety-X years ago, none of us would be here in this room tonight.
But, both of our individual stories did come together at exactly that moment, and nothing has ever been the same since.
And people say life is just a random set of events?
When you know, you just know.
Which brings me to these two. (finally)
Are they just ridiculously, ludicrously, absurdly in love with each other or what?
When we first met Maggie, we just knew she was THE ONE. We all fell in love with her at first sight.
But more than us loving her, we knew instantly, she and Stephen loved each other.
They really do a lousy job of hiding that don’t they?
So damn cute…
But also reassuring.
Because they remind us of the best in ourselves.
Ah, to be twenty-something—handsome and beautiful, productive and successful.
To be in love, and to have the whole world ahead of us . . . the mortgages, the diapers, teething, Disneyworld . . . with kids . . . during school vacation, schoolyard scrapes, graduation gowns . . .
The reason we smile when we look at them, all googly eyed and kissy faced over there, is because their love is so pure, so inescapable, and so irrepressible that it reminds us there is good in the world…
In our Judeo-Christian tradition, we believe this form of agape love originates from God, from his love for mankind. And, we know, it is a rare gift.
So, when we experience such deep abiding love, whether in ourselves or in others, it reminds us that, indeed, there is God in the world.
Thank you both for sharing your love with us so generously. Experiencing it through you, and with you, is truly good for our souls.
Please raise your glasses with me.
Thanks to Jeff and Trish and everyone on Margaret’s side of the aisle for raising such an amazing woman. We love ‘every little inch of her’ almost as much as you do.
And thank you—Mags—for loving Stephen as much as, or maybe more, if that’s even possible, than we love him.
We are very happy for you both, and very excited each of you have found, THE ONE.

I have been through a number of OB/GYNs over my life and in my opinion Dr. Trottier is the best one I've ever had. My first impression was positive because when I was a new patient he took time to get to know me and actually listen to my story. Subsequent appointments are never rushed. He is very professional, but his personality also comes through, which is really refreshing. He explains things in layman's terms, provides insight but never tries to make decisions on my behalf, he is thorough, kind, and extremely knowledgeable. He definitely knows what he is doing! As a bonus, his exam rooms are decorated with sports themes so I have something fun to look at while I am in there.

Grape Variety: Palomino.
Geographic Appellation,, Region, Country: Madera County; Central Valley, California.
Price: $28.00 (with a club discount)
Purchased From: Rajat Parr Wine Club; Lompoc, California.
Paired With: Chicken Marsala
Prologue: When we reviewed this wine the first time (see: Rajat Parr Wine Club Palomino Fino Scythians 2019) it had a dominating funky aroma that was very distracting. When we tasted our second bottle it was dramatically different and had none of the funky corked-like aroma. Following is the review of the second bottle.
Chilled before drinking. Slightly cloudy, oat straw color. Musty pear aroma that had a very slight oxidative smell and some characteristics of an orange wine. WOW, rich, dense and dry mouthfeel that had a chalky character to it, full body and 100-grit texture. Citrus and mineral flavors. Light acidity and a long rich and dry pineapple tasting finish. WOW, WOW, WOW this was an unusual white wine…it poured and looked light and fresh in the glass, but the first sip revealed its dry richness. However the tart pineapple taste, full body, low acidity and slight oxidation makes for a FANTASTIC Fall sipper. We’re very adventurous wine drinkers and this was our cup of tea because it opened new wine drinking opportunities. It was unique!!! EXCELLENT paired with the chicken Marsala, but even better sipping after the dinner. The Palomino grape is commonly used for the production of Sherry, but as a dry white wine its richness and low acidity really reveal the wines true character. We loved it and recommend putting it near the top of any adventurous wine drinkers “Must Try” list.

Individual Shamanic Healing Sessions Are Ongoing
We’re offering virtual shamanic healing sessions with clients. We’ll first have a fifteen-minute phone consultation at no charge, to learn about your needs and if a video session is appropriate for you. We have a sliding fee scale. Call us to arrange a time to talk.
Psychopomp Work is the ancient practice of helping human souls who have died to transition to the light. Susan and Chris work with spirit helpers to see whether a soul has passed on, is not yet ready, or needs help transitioning. Please contact us if you have someone in mind. We’re offering this work by donation because it’s so necessary at this time. READ MORE
In our work as shamanic practitioners we rely on the assistance of spirit teachers and power animals. We begin by creating safe sacred space for your best interest and comfort. We use a drum or rattle to alter our consciousness and connect with our spirit helpers, who offer guidance about you and your concerns, issues, and healing. Then we complete a shamanic diagnosis and share it with you so you know what to expect in the healing that follows.
Read our form that offers specifics about ways to prepare for a healing session and caring for yourself afterwards.
Fees for healing sessions are on a sliding scale.
Shamanic diagnoses may include:
Spiritual power is our life force and vitality. Chronic problems, illness or trauma may cause a drain on your personal power. Some symptoms are not feeling present in your body, feeling out of balance since surgery, an accident or end of a relationship, and chronic susceptibility to illness. With the aid of spirit helpers, we will work with you to restore your personal power and hopefully resolve your symptoms.
Soul retrieval is one active spiritual response to power loss. In times of emotional or physical distress or trauma parts of one’s soul can actually go away, leaving an inner void. The shamanic practitioner retrieves those soul parts for you, refilling the voids with your own “self”. This process may resolve serious emotional and physical distress, fears, and traumas. The soul parts returned to the physical body are healthy and strong, allowing you to experience healing in a gentle manner. The intent is for you to be more present in your body, to feel whole and centered while dealing with your personal needs and recovery. It's time to welcome yourself home.
While doing shamanic healing we sometimes extract intrusions a person may have taken on in times of weakness or trauma. Intrusions may appear to us as sticky or oily black substances, dark areas either hot or cold, or insects with stingers. We work to remove the intrusion and spiritually send it to a body of water so that it becomes transformed and won’t be a danger to others.
Shamanic extraction can alleviate illness and assist in healing during recovery. An extraction can be very helpful as a collaborative intervention to allopathic treatment or surgery. Those with depression, intrusive and compulsive thoughts often find shamanic extraction beneficial.
Some intrusions seem to take on human, animal or elemental form. In these cases you may be aware of something that is not of your own soul essence. With compassion, the practitioner assists this being to move into the source of spirit light. This usually causes relief from the symptoms, and you will be free to experience your own true essence once again. Soul retrieval may then be indicated to fill the void and complete the healing.
It’s possible to go back in time via shamanic work. Often the ancestors are waiting, ready and willing to assist in clearing past hurts and damages that have persisted over the generations or been handed down without conscious awareness. Shamanism brings forth all that was, is and will be.
“I feel like you ‘removed’ a black plug that stopped my energy flow. The backed up and suppressed energy created the depression.”
- client after receiving healing
“My work with Susan has made a tremendous difference in feeling a deeper connection to my true self--parts of myself that I had not previously accessed. I have experienced a release of blockages that have freed me to do deeper personal work and express a sense of joy that has been missing from my life for sometime.”
“. . . the healing I experienced with Susan and Chris continues to unfold within my mental and emotional life. So much support, correction and insight...all so alive and active as another whole part of who ever I am. For the first time in my life I can feel myself and that I am going to be ok in trusting myself to explore the deeper more spiritual expansive human life. I want to come again for another healing in the future. I am grateful and honor the dedicated service Susan and Chris do.”

When my parents handed me the keys to my 2001 Ford Escort ZX2 at the ripe old age of 16, I felt an instant sense of freedom. Being able to go anywhere without asking for a ride from my mom or older brother gave me my first taste of adulthood. I know the feeling of independence of owning your own destiny impacts almost all drivers because I recognize this passion in the researchers and car restorers who visit our reading room.
And freedom would have resonated with early car consumers too, especially women. After gaining the right to vote with the passage of the 19th amendment in 1919, many women felt for the first time that they had a political voice and were therefore empowered to fight for equality in other areas. Of course, many women, especially women of color, saw emancipation fleeting, as they were either barred from voting or secluded in the private sphere. Still, for many women, the feelings of accomplishment were overwhelming, and advertisers in the United States’ emerging modern consumer economy took the chance to capitalize on the freedom motif.
The newest, most revolutionary, most popular item on the market was the automobile, and auto companies sought to reach out to female consumers using shiny new cars as the greatest symbol for female enfranchisement. These ads reflect the duality of the discourse on women in the country: both free yet still bound to feminine stereotyping.
This 1925 Ford advertisement features a charming image of women driving their Model T to meet friends for a golf outing. Many advertisements connected their product to the leisure of a middle-class lifestyle, leaving women of color and working women out of the picture. The message Ford Motor Company wished to embody: owning a car will allow you to achieve middle-class status.
“It enables them now to do things and to go places that had hitherto seemed out of the question.”
This statement expresses the general sentiment of the time that many women were moving into new and exciting territories. As the 1920s progressed, highlighting the ability of the Model T to allow women to pursue independence became a popular theme in Ford advertisements. Notice that Ford tells women that they can “drive this easily-handled car themselves” and not need a man to escort or help them. Although this advertisement obviously relies on stereotypes of feminine weakness, the overall message is that feminine weakness does not prohibit the modern woman from achieving equality.
Another Ford advertisement from 1925 that features a woman using her Model T to explore the outdoors. In this image the fabulously dressed woman could be anywhere, stepping out of her car with confidence and joy. Again, her white gloves and fur coat signify all the trappings of Jazz Age extravagance.
“By owning a Ford car a woman can with ease widen her sphere of interests without extra time or effort.”
In this advertisement Ford once more points out the ways that a Model T can help women move beyond home. Unlike the previous ad that associated the car with female autonomy, this ad links a woman and her domestic duties. With this ad Ford targets older women who use their car not to golf or enjoy leisure activities but to conduct daily errands. The suggestion is that with a Model T, a woman with a family can quickly and efficiently complete the tasks within her sphere while still remaining independent from her husband.
A 1926 Ford Advertisement celebrating the “torque tube drive” found on the Model T. This black and white advertisement emphasizes the technical advantages to driving a Ford.
Not every Ford advertisement featuring women played on traditional stereotypes. This ad, though not as flashy or colorful as others, shows off the Ford’s mechanical assets rather than its association to style or sophistication. Although it might seem strange that a technical ad would feature women drivers and passengers, there are many advertisements like this that do not simply link female car ownership to accepted domestic behavior. One reason might be audience, as this ad ran in publications like the Saturday Evening Post and Collier’s and had to resonate with men as well as women. At the same time, there were many women who were interested in the mechanical aspects of automobiles and Ford reached out to these consumers with ads like this.
Notice the difference between this ad (which features the newly unveiled Model A) and the ads for the Model T. The imagery in this 1928 Ford advertisement feels modern with its art deco lines and tall, slender woman wearing the latest flapper-esque fashions. The red brick house in the background looks like one found in the Indian Village neighborhood in Detroit. The atmosphere, still one of elegance, reflects the Model A’s message: This isn’t your mother’s Ford.
When interest and enthusiasm for the Model T waned in the mid-1920s, Ford Motor Company stopped production on the world’s most popular car and in December 1927 debuted the 1928 Model A. The new Ford was a beautiful car, modern and stylish, and the advertisements followed suit. This ad relies heavily on a distinct gender binary by focusing on the different features of the Model A that would appeal to men and women. “Men will admire the colors of the new Ford, but only a woman, from her fuller knowledge of clothes and style, will realize that they are colors that will not tire.” This statement perfectly exemplifies the attitude in auto advertising that still continues to this day, namely relying on the assumption that men buy cars based on speed and horse-power, while women focus on aesthetics and comfort.
This artful image of two women speeding along a mountain highway in their 1928 Model A embodies a sense of freedom. These daring women are shown driving their car on their way to some unknown destination, and the dynamic composition creates an air of movement and possibility.
While the last advertisement reflects gendered biases towards consumers, this advertisement demonstrates a very different message. Here the main focus is not the women in the picture or specifications given in the text; no, the feeling I get when I look at this advertisement hearkens to that first experience of autonomy, driving my own car at age 16 with nothing but the road in front of me and endless possibilities of people, places and experiences surrounding me. In 1928 this feeling of freedom and independence would have resonated with all drivers regardless of gender, class, race or creed, as it still does today.

That Weekly when everything was pretty good, or at least not so bad
Oh, you poor Weekly reader. Every seven days or so you're bombarded with tales of technology-induced horrors. The last Weekly closed with an item about half of all U.S. citizens living below the real poverty level. The Weekly before that wound up by describing our democracy as a "Dumpster fire" and pondering what kind of government would rise from its ashes.
Time for a break. This Weekly, we'll keep it light -- with the possible exception of a Linkapalooza item or two. I guess I just can't help myself.
Something to celebrate: You're not who you used to be
Here's a reason to strive for septuagenarianism. Quartz's Olivia Goodhill writes in a February 19, 2017, article that you're not the same person at the age of 77 that you were at 14. The longest personality study that anyone knows about found that after 63 years of living, "your personality is... transformed beyond recognition."
According to Goodhill, 174 of the 635 particpants still alive 63 years after the original study agreed to repeat the survey and rate themselves on the same six personality traits used in the first survey. The researchers expected to find stability in personality, but the responses to the second go-round indicated that after so many years, "there is hardly any relationship at all" between the two personality assessments.
Goodhill points out that recent neuroscience research gives credence to the Buddhist notion that our sense of "self" is "nothing more than an illusion." Heck, my personality has been an illusion for a long, long time.
Set your mind to 'growth'
I've always said, there are two kinds of people: Those who believe there are two kinds of people, and those who don't believe there are two kinds of people.
Now there's a new two kinds of people: People who have a "fixed" mindset, and people who have a "growth" mindset. The "fixed" folk believe you're either good at something, or you're not, so you better not take chances because failure would show you're incompetent. You're either born to play the sousaphone, or you're not.
The "growth" group think that who you are can be improved and changed through effort and experience. This allows you to develop new skills. These people "embrace failure," as Anna Powers writes in an October 23, 2017, article on Forbes. Failure is nothing but an "opportunity for meaningful growth and skill development."
If failure could grow and develop your bank account, I'd be a billionaire.
Is a kinder, gentler Facebook newsfeed coming?
If you're still using Facebook, why?
Seriously, if you're still using Facebook, you may soon notice a pleasant change in the updates you see in your timeline. Then again, you could drop Facebook and start enjoying life again. But I digress.
No, seriously, no kidding this time. Facebook is testing a change that displays updates in your newsfeed only from friends and family, moving material from the companies, organizations, and other third parties you follow to a separate "Explore Feed." Recode's Kurt Wagner writes in an October 23, 2017, post that publishers are sweating bullets about the change, which would force them to pay Facebook to reach people.
I care freak-all about publishers. They sold out to the online-ad monster a long time ago. The result of the change for Facebook users is a cleaner newsfeed, even if they choose to follow businesses and publishers. Wagner quotes a statement from Facebook that the change is in effect only in Sri Lanka, Bolivia, Slovakia, Serbia, Guatemala, and Cambodia. Also, the company has "no current plans to roll this out globally." However, experts cited by Wagner believe the banishment of media and businesses from newsfeed could go system-wide in a matter of months.
A publisher in Slovakia reports on Medium that the change resulted in a two-thirds drop in "organic reach," the greatest such decline in the publisher's history. Wagner writes that Facebook has become the difference between success and failure for all media, but particularly for news distributors.
For now, let's focus on the streamlined Facebook newsfeed -- and perhaps one more nail in the coffin of Russian manipulation of our political process.
Two fewer apps on your phone can give your mood a big boost
For Mark Suster, it started with a vow to keep his phone out of the bedroom. As he writes in an October 23, 2017, post on Both Sides of the Table, Suster found the change resulted in "a huge improvement in my life and productivity." But that was just the start. What really turned Suster's life around was his decision to delete the Facebook and Twitter apps from his phone.
Suster admits that he doesn't post much to Twitter or Facebook, and he still uses both services on his other devices. But not having access from his phone has brightened his mood. Suster states that the posts to his feeds were making him "angry for no reason" because there was nothing he could do about the terrible news that never stops streaming.
The updates that Suster used to get from his Facebook feed he now finds on Axios, which he writes is "a much better aggregator for what I want to know (politics, news, tech) than Facebook is." One positive result of the change is that Suster spends much less time checking his phone each day.
Most importantly, Suster now comes to the news rather than the news coming to him. He decides when he's ready to learn about the latest political foibles and follies. (Note that turning off all notifications was one of the 10 rules for happy smart phone use in last week's Weekly.)
Schadenfreude, anyone? Somebody has targeted computers in Russia and Eastern European countries with data-encrypting malware, as Dan Goodin reports in an October 24, 2017, article on Ars Technica. Dubbed "Bad Rabbit," the malware uses a fake Adobe Flash installer to infect Windows PCs. The outbreak has affected news agencies, train stations, airports, and government agencies, among other establishments.
Bad Rabbit poses as ransomware, but some security experts speculate that its true goal is to "wipe out data in an act of sabotage," according to Goodin. There's no word on who is behind the malware, though Goodin suggests backing up your sensitve data onto a password-protected hard drive. I recommend you never install Flash. Problem solved.
I wish I was there in the Capitol building when a man, posing as a news reporter, shouted "Trump is treason!" and threw Russian flags in the direction of the President (ptui!) as he and Senator Mitch McConnell walked by. As reported in an October 24, 2017, post on Common Dreams, the man identified himself as Ryan Clayton and said he represented a group called Americans Take Action.
In a video of the event, Clayton is heard shouting, "This president has conspired with agents of the Russian government.... We should be talking about treason, not taxes." And just in case you were wondering what Clayton was shouting about, here's the latest update of Trumpocracy: Tracking the Creeping Authoritarianism of the 45th President, compiled by Mother Jones' Mark Follman.
In this topsy-turvy world, advocating for centrism makes you unusual. When you look around, it seems like governments -- and entire countries -- are breaking up left and right. Another U.S. civil war is considered a distinct possibility by some people. To John Feffer, it all comes down to "demagogues and divisiveness." Feffer writes in an October 24, 2017, article on Common Dreams that we may be witnessing a "fourth great shattering," when states break apart and reform -- or not.
The first shattering occurred in the early 19th century, when the concept of "nation" took hold and led to the collapse of empires: Habsburgs, Romonovs, and Ottoman sultans in particular. The second happened in the mid-20th century as former colonies all over the world gained independence. The third was at the end of the Cold War in the 1990s, which affected not only Eastern Europe and Central Asia, but also the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia.
Feffman posits that the fourth shattering could affect Europe, the U.S., and East Asia. He writes that "the polarizing impact of economic and technological globalization" has caused "the politics of the middle" to either disappear or drift to the right. Feffman isn't convinced such a fourth shattering is inevitable:
"For all of its institutional violence and bureaucratic flaws, the state is still the best bet we have for protecting the environment, stretching out a safety net for all, and providing equitable education opportunities to everyone, not to mention its ability to band together with other states to tackle global problems like climate change and pandemics."
Best unintended-irony retweet of the week from @Alexandraerin: "This is the best tweet since the Flat Earth Society announced it has members all over the globe." In retweeting @TaraMcCarthy4444: "I'm so proud that we are creating an international alliance of nationalists! Together we will beat globalism."
Allow me to close this almost, kinda/sorta upbeat Weekly with a quote from the most misquoted human in history, Winston S. Churchill:
"I am an optimist. It does not seem too much use being anything else."
See you next Weekly... with a big smile on my face!

BEIJING, Dec. 15 (Xinhua) -- China has been effectively enhancing judicial protection of human rights over the last five years, said a white paper issued by China's State Council Information Office on Friday.
Efforts to prevent and correct wrongful convictions had seen the correction of 37 major cases of miscarriage of justice involving 61 people, and the acquittal of 4,032 defendants as per the law from 2013 to 2017, it said.
According to the white paper, titled "New Progress in the Legal Protection of Human Rights in China," the country has put people first in its judicial system, integrated criminal punishment with human rights protection and pressed ahead with judicial system reform.
China has endeavored to embody fairness and justice in each and every legal case, it said.
To that end, China has worked to guarantee independent and impartial enforcement of judicial and procuratorial authorities as per the law, press forward with reform of the criminal litigation system centering on trials and abide by the rules concerning excluding illegally-obtained evidence.
Since 2013, procuratorates have withheld their approval in the cases of 2,624 arrests and declined to prosecute 870 on the basis of exclusion of illegally-obtained evidence, the white paper said.
It said China is also working vigorously to protect lawyers' right to practice, guarantee the rights and interests of criminal suspects, defendants and prisoners and strengthen judicial protection of juveniles.

In early October, I entered an essay writing competition on the world kids travel guide website. The theme was 'the gift of languages', and I wrote about my experience and journey in learning the Chinese language. A month and a bit later, I received an email from the company. Guess what? I came first place and won the competition!
Link to the website: https://www.kids-world-travel-guide.com/writing-competition-winners.html
Here is the essay I wrote:
As I walked down the narrow alley, I listened to the unique sounds of the local inhabitants going around their everyday business, which included street vendors shouting to advertise their products, thumping sound of footsteps their feet made on the loosely packed gravel street, and the general communications of one person to another in the beautiful, fluid and rich language in which they spoke.
But something was wrong. I couldn’t understand a single phrase, or for that matter, word. After all, I was in the wonderful province of Xiamen, China, where the local language was Chinese, a language which I had not a clue how to speak.
It was from then on, the inspiration which spurred me to learn Chinese started. Even to this day, I have not yet mastered Chinese, far from it, but it is that drive, the one that I found on that day, which keeps me going. From then, I have gotten multiple Chinese lessons a week, private tutoring and even being forced to read Chinese books, all to improve my understanding, vocabulary, and deeper knowledge of the rich Chinese language.
The second time I went to China was to Shanghai, for a 2-week-long Chinese camp. I was better prepared and equipped to learn and explore the language of Chinese. After the camp and speaking to many of the students and teachers there, I felt as though I had once again added to my then small bubble of Chinese vocabulary and knowledge.
However, my journey has not been without challenges. To prepare for tests, I must practice extremely hard in the weeks before, still not being able to achieve the same level of fluency and familiarity that the mainland Chinese kids have of their local language. However, beyond my intention to master the language, I try to enrich my understanding of the country too.
I have been on school excursions to Chengdu and Xi’an, where I learned more about the culture and history of these cities, which helps me to understand the Chinese language in ways which I could not do sitting behind a textbook.
As a Chinese proverb significantly stated: “To learn a language is to have one more window from which to look at the world.”
As we learn more languages our window to the world opens wider. Now that is truly the gift of languages.

The outcome of the Seahawks and Giants in week 13 could come down to these three matchups.
The Seahawks are the better team on Sunday when they face the Giants and should win the game. But because Seattle should win the game doesn’t mean they will. We all know this as 12s. The Seahawks do not have many blowouts. In fact, maybe the argument could be made that they play up or down to the level of competition.
That said, the Giants, though they are 4-7, are not a bad football. Oh, maybe they are very bad offensively, but defensively they are quite good and their special teams are more than solid. For instance, Giants kicker Graham Gano has missed just one of his 26 field goal attempts (he only missed one from beyond 50 yards) and none of his extra points.
So Seattle and New York could come down to three matchups.
Matchup 1: Chris Carson and Carlos Hyde versus the Giants run defense
New York has a solid secondary and has forced the fourth-most turnovers in the NFL in 2020. Nine of their 18 turnovers have been interceptions. This means that Seattle needs to run the ball effectively against the Giants.
With Chris Carson presumably getting more work in week 13 than week 12 after he returned from injury where he missed several games, Carson will need to grind out yards to help take the heat off Russell Wilson. Carson will also need to make sure he holds on to the ball. Last year Carson had a fumbling issue but not so far this year. That cannot resurface in week 13.
The Giants are really good at causing fumbles. New York is third in forced fumbles and a turnover or two could change the outcome of this game.
But so could the running of Carson and Carlos Hyde. New York gives up the sixth-fewest yards per carry this year (3.9) and the fifth-fewest yards rushing per game (95.4). But if Carson and Hyde can get over 100 yards combined in week 13, Wilson will have an easier time throwing and Seattle will put up more than enough points to pull away from the Giants.

In 2010, EPA distributed questionnaires to approximately 700 fossil- and nuclear-fueled steam electric power plants. The Agency used data from the questionnaires to support its proposed rule amending the effluent guidelines for the Steam Electric Power Generating category. The final rule was published in 2015.
The questionnaire comprised nine sections to address specific processes, specific Agency data needs, or types of power plants. It collected general plant information and selected technical information about the plant processes and the electric generating units. The requested information includes economic data and technical information about flue gas desulfurization (FGD) wastewater, ash handling, cleaning of metal process equipment, wastewater treatment, and surface impoundment and landfill operations. The questionnaire also required certain power plants to collect and analyze samples of leachate from surface impoundments and landfills containing coal combustion residues.
EPA organized the respondents into four groups. Most coal- and petroleum coke-fired power plants received Parts A through D, H and I of the survey. Some coal- and petroleum coke-fired power plants received all sections of the survey (Parts A through I). Oil-fired power plants received Parts A through E, H, and I of the questionnaire. Gas-fired and nuclear power plants received Parts A, E, H, and I of the questionnaire.
The response database file contains publicly-available responses to the technical questionnaire (Parts A through H). Please see the Data Element Dictionary for documentation.

Frontier Deepwater Developments – The Impact on Riser Systems Design in Water Depths Greater than 3,000m
1 May 2015
The offshore industry anticipates the need for production riser systems in ultra-deepwater fields where water depths are between 3,000m to 4,500m. The development of ultra-deepwater fields leads to many challenges on the selection of the riser concept and in some instances such applications may require extending riser technology beyond its current limits. Consequently, there is a need to understand the feasibility of riser systems in such ultra-deepwater applications and the technology gaps that exist.
In ultra-deepwater, long suspended riser lengths will significantly increase the riser weight potentially leading to challenges with offshore installation related to laying vessel capability. High external and internal pressure on the riser will lead to the need for heavy wall pipes. Thick-wall riser pipe will bring about riser design challenges in fabrication of pipes, riser pipe welding, riser hang-off system selection, long-term fatigue design, and fabrication of specialty riser joints. By looking into these challenges, it is very important to select the most appropriate riser concept for the ultra-deepwater fields and understand the current pipe manufacturing limits, enabling technology needed for such systems, and technology gaps considering the critical points mentioned above.
This paper addresses the key riser design issues considering wall thickness sizing, top tension, axial dynamics, selection of pipe material, design of key components, and installation issues. This paper evaluates feasibility of a number of production and export riser configurations for ultra-deepwater applications based on existing technology, identifies current technology limits, and determines technology gaps that exist. Methods of advancing the current capability to meet the requirements of frontier deepwater applications are also proposed in the paper.

Please let me introduce you to our latest map, the River Rapids. This map features a vibrant color scheme, some large rock faces fit for a campsite, and a collection of boulders that might serve as a bridge.
This map was a personal challenge to mimic an authentic watercolor painting style, and I think we just about did it. Obviously, it’s far from perfect, but it has character, and I stretched my skills trying to make it so. Those two things are what I aim for with each map, so I’ll count this

Slot Online is a website with a wide variety of slot games. It also has a lot of free slots for players to play. These are great options for people who want to practice their strategies before they start playing for real money.
The Rules of Slots:
Whether you’re playing a physical slot machine at the casino or an online slot game, the main goal is to get three or more matching symbols on a payline. The odds of winning vary, but most online slot machines use a random number generator (RNG) to determine the outcome of each spin.
Every slot game has a paytable, which tells you the values of each symbol and the number of times you can win a combination. It’s a good idea to read the paytable before you make your first bet.
Traditionally, slots have three reels, but there are many more variations now, including five-reel slots and even video slots. These have more complicated gameplay and features, such as different shapes around the reels that add to your chances of winning combinations.
Some online slots have special symbols and bonus rounds that multiply your payouts. These can include wilds that replace other symbols to help you complete a winning combo, scatter symbols that trigger free spins that can compound your payout, and multipliers that double your payouts for a few spins. You can find these bonus features at any online slot site, and it’s a great way to increase your winnings.

Title: The Shakespeare ConspiracyAuthor: Jeffrey Hunter McQuainPublisher: Telemachus PressGenre: Fiction/ThrillerFormat: Kindle
What makes a secret worth dying for? That’s what Christopher Klewe, a brash young professor from Virginia, finds out in Jeffrey Hunter McQuain’s new thriller “The Shakespeare Conspiracy” when he stumbles upon the most shocking cover-up in literary history.
On a rainy Halloween at Washington’s Kennedy Center, a masked killer brutally stabs Klewe’s best friend. Before dying, the victim deliberately drops his raincoat across a puddle and scrawls the letters “SoN” in his own blood.
Investigating the murder scene, Klewe is joined by Zelda Hart, a married reporter for The New York Times. They learn the victim’s ear was severed and find evidence of a 400-year-old secret society. When questioned by police, Klewe reveals the surprising question he’s been researching: was Shakespeare black?
Outside Kennedy Center, they meet a drunken security guard who saw the murder and swears that “Shakespeare did it.” Klewe and Zelda grow less skeptical when a figure wearing a Shakespeare mask and wielding an Elizabethan dagger chases them into the Metro subway system toward Maryland.
After being cornered in a remote Maryland cabin by the killer, the two escape to look for answers at Shakespeare and Company, a famous Paris bookstore, as well as in London’s Globe Theater. As they solve each step of the mystery, though, they face new obstacles to overcome and more clues to unravel in their search for the truth.
Pursued across two continents by murderers, the desperate Klewe and Zelda have only three days to solve the strangest mystery of Renaissance history. The evidence mounts up, drawn from actual anagrams hidden in Shakespeare’s own words as well as historically accurate descriptions of Elizabethan paintings and observations made by the playwright’s contemporaries.
Their dangerous journey takes them ultimately to Stratford and the Bard’s final resting place. There the words of the playwright’s epitaph help thwart the deadly conspiracy.
Once hailed as “a jaw-dropping premise” by the late columnist William Safire, “The Shakespeare Conspiracy” is the first novel by a published Shakespeare expert. It offers readers the twists of a thrill ride reminiscent of “The Da Vinci Code” as well as that novel’s excitement of wondering whether its central secret just might be true. If so, this new thriller has the potential to expose the biggest literary conspiracy of all time, offering a whole new way of looking at the world’s greatest writer, William Shakespeare.
Jeffrey Hunter McQuain, who holds a Doctorate in Literary Studies from American University, is co-author of several popular books, including “Coined by Shakespeare” and “The Bard on the Brain.” For more than a dozen years, he served as the researcher for William Safire’s “On Language” column in The New York Times. A poet and dramatist, he has also taught college courses in Shakespeare and occasionally performed in the Bard’s plays. His first novel, “The Shakespeare Conspiracy,” is based on his nonfiction book “Ebony Swan: The Case for Shakespeare’s Race.” Dr. McQuain lives in Maryland and is currently adapting “Ebony Swan” as a stage play.

Misalignment, AI & Moloch
“Moloch! Moloch! Nightmare of Moloch! Moloch the loveless! Mental Moloch! Moloch the heavy judger of men!
Moloch the incomprehensible prison! Moloch the crossbone soulless jailhouse and Congress of sorrows! Moloch whose buildings are judgment! Moloch the vast stone of war! Moloch the stunned governments!
Moloch whose mind is pure machinery! Moloch whose blood is running money! Moloch whose fingers are ten armies! Moloch whose breast is a cannibal dynamo! Moloch whose ear is a smoking tomb!
Moloch whose eyes are a thousand blind windows! Moloch whose skyscrapers stand in the long streets like endless Jehovahs! Moloch whose factories dream and croak in the fog! Moloch whose smokestacks and antennae crown the cities!
Moloch whose love is endless oil and stone! Moloch whose soul is electricity and banks! Moloch whose poverty is the specter of genius! Moloch whose fate is a cloud of sexless hydrogen! Moloch whose name is the Mind!”
from Allen Ginsburg’s famous poem on Moloch
In this video Liv Boeree, a champion poker player with a background in astrophysics, who has made a number of YouTube videos about Moloch, and thinker and founding member of the Consilience Project, Daniel Schmachtenberger, discuss the phenomenon of Moloch and AI.
The potential benefits and perils posed by AI extend far beyond the boundaries of our imagination. But we know enough to be sure it has the capability to enable extraordinary breakthroughs in multiple domains. If we intend, however, to consider what the objective of AI should be, and how to regulate its development, we had better do it soon…that is, before it becomes fully autonomous itself.
What we appreciate about this conversation is that that in using Alan Ginsburg’s concept of Moloch, Boeree and Schmachtenberger put Al into its current real context. Namely, the global system we have created; a system that has been built and runs on its own perverse logic with its incentives of profit and zero-sum game theory. Fully autonomous, nobody is able to stop it. And this is the system that is developing AI.
To quote Daniel Schmachtenberger from the video, “Nobody wants the worst to happen, but everybody is making it happen.”

New Indoor Event Vaccine Mandate: Will It Affect Northern Colorado
If you're following along with the current rise in COVID19 cases in Colorado, you're seeing that our amazing state is putting up some of its highest numbers to date, and there's not much sign of slowing down as we head into the holidays. It's not only the number of cases that's the main concern though, it's also the number of hospitalizations in Colorado that has the Colorado Department of Health and Environment issuing a new public health order.
According to Denver 7, the new public health order, which will go into effect this Friday, November 19th, will mandate that anyone attending an event with 500 or more people be vaccinated. Those counties include Denver, Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, and Jefferson counties. As of now, Weld and Larimer are not affected by this Colorado Department of Health and Environment public health order, but how long will that last?
State Epidemiologist Dr. Rachel Herlihy presented data Thursday showing that 79% of people currently hospitalized in Colorado for COVID-19 are not vaccinated and that vaccinated people were nearly 9 times less likely to be hospitalized for COVID-19 than unvaccinated people.
It's tricky to try and decrease our current numbers in Colorado and keep people safe, without hurting our local economy like we did when the shutdowns first began in March of 2020. So many local businesses never bounced back after that! The Colorado Department of Health and Environment is hoping that the mandatory vaccines for larger public events will further encourage people to get their vaccines. If the mandate in those six counties doesn't start making a difference, there's a good chance more counties further North and South of Denver will be affected by this mandate as well.

The St Vincent and the Grenadines Meteorological Services is monitoring the progress of two westward-moving tropical waves located just east of the Windward Islands and over the Central Atlantic.
In a weather statement issued on Sunday, SVG Met said the tropical wave closest to the region is expected to generate cloudy skies, occasional moderate/heavy showers and a chance of isolated thunderstorms across St Vincent and the Grenadines.
It advised that residents and motorists in areas prone to flash flooding and landslides or near rivers and streams should remain vigilant.
Meanwhile, the axis of the second tropical wave which is of special interest was located near longitude 47° West, or about 960 miles east southeast of the Windward Islands and moving westward at 15 to 20 mph.
Current model guidance suggests that there is some potential for development before it reaches the Windward Islands between the middle and the end of this week.
Vincentians have been advised to keep informed on the progress of this system in the upcoming days.

PACOIMA, Calif. (KABC) -- Los Angeles is expanding mobile COVID-19 testing as cases continue to surge. The city is focusing on the San Fernando Valley and South L.A., where infection rates doubled earlier this month.
The regions are home to many essential workers. Veronica Martinez, a mother who works at a 99 Cents store, said she was concerned about contracting the virus at work and had trouble finding an open time to get tested.
"I checked online - Bellflower, Downey, near my house, there's nothing available. So this helps a lot," Martinez said.
Area resident Desirae Taylor said she got tested because she works at a department store, and she talks to many potentially-infected customers throughout her day.

The Face Act penalizes people for blockading and threatening abortion clinics. Anti-abortion activists want it repealed
Sat 16 Sep 2023
The inside of the abortion clinic was chaotic. Anti-abortion protesters lined the walls. A few had sat down on the clinic’s lime green chairs and draped themselves in chains. “Please inspire these parents to keep their babies!” one man shouted, before he started singing about the Virgin Mary. As some of the protesters sang and prayed loudly, the police officers crowded inside the clinic tried to urge them to move. They didn’t want to budge.
It was 22 October 2020, and one anti-abortion advocate was livestreaming a group of activists who were at the Washington DC-area clinic to, in their view, “rescue” people from having abortions. One redheaded young woman turned to the camera.
Abortion providers feared they’d see an increase in harassment and threats if Roe v Wade was overturned. They were right.

Dr. Gabrielle Goodrick has provided abortions for 26 years. And up until a few years ago, she never had to deal with protesters at her Phoenix, Arizona clinic.
But in the year since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the protests at her clinic have become so large and loud that, for the first time, Goodrick has had to enlist people to help escort patients through the picketers.
The Texas-based group 40 Days for Life has brought its aggressive tactics to more than 1,000 cities in 65 countries.
January 9, 2023
There were four or five protesters outside Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow, Scotland, the first time Dr. Greg Irwin saw them. He was driving to his job as a consultant radiologist when he noticed the group hoisting placards opposite the parking lot, close to the maternity unit. BEFORE I FORMED YOU IN THE WOMB I KNEW YOU, one sign read, alongside a Bible reference. “Oh, my God,” Irwin thought. “It’s one of those American protests.”
After he parked in his usual spot, an older woman holding rosary beads smiled as he approached. “We’re holding a prayer vigil,” she explained, adding that they were offering “support and advice” to women. Irwin noticed their placards were branded with the logo of 40 Days for Life. When he googled the name later that night, he expected to find a local church organization. Instead, he discovered the shiny, high-budget website of a Texas-based group, emblazoned with pictures of men in sharp suits with dazzling white teeth. A counter in the corner ticked down the numbers of babies “saved” worldwide. Scrolling, he saw a map festooned with red pins, marking group locations all over the world. Irwin stared at his screen, bewildered. How could there be a connection between a group in Texas and the woman outside his hospital in Scotland?

Spectre Journal (USA) recently hosted an event for donors about global lessons for the struggle for abortion rights and reproductive justice after the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade. The panel included Camila Valle, Sherry Wolf, Emily Janakiram, and Holly Lewis. This is an edited transcript of their speeches and wrap ups after the discussion.
Camila Valle: I know people are probably thinking about what just happened to our right to abortion and reproductive healthcare in the US, which other speakers will go into tonight, but I wanted to start with a historic victory in a different part of the world: that of the Argentinian abortion movement, which won legalization at the end of 2020—and not just legalization, but free abortion as part of their socialized healthcare system.
Bombings, assassinations and kidnappings: The anti-abortion movement has always had a violent wing that left families shattered.

If the U.S. Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade in the coming weeks, it will mark the culmination of a decades-long, multimillion-dollar legal effort by the American conservative movement to end abortion rights and force many pregnant people to give birth.
It will also be the culmination of a
multi-decade terror campaign.
Body cams and license plates are already being used to track people arriving at abortion clinics.
By Abby Ohlheiser
May 31, 2022
The Supreme Court is shortly expected to issue its decision on a challenge to Roe v. Wade that will—if a leaked draft version of the opinion holds—end federal protection for abortion access across the US. If that happens, it will have far-reaching consequences for millions of people. One of those is that it could significantly increase the risk that anti-abortion activists will use surveillance and data collection to track and identify people seeking abortions, sending authorities information that could lead to criminal proceedings.
Opponents of abortion have been using methods like license plate tracking for decades. In front of many clinics around the US, it remains a daily reality.

An anti-abortion group that masquerades as progressive in an attempt to gain a following in liberal cities suddenly surged into mainstream news headlines this spring after the Washington Metro Police Department recovered five fetuses from the apartment of anti-abortion activist Lauren Handy.
Handy is a member of the group “Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising” (PAAU), which announced its formation in September 2021. The group claims to be “pro-BIPOC” and “pro-LGBTQ,” but in practice, the group’s actions align with a violent, right-wing anti-abortion tradition.
D.C. police say they are still working to determine how the fetuses were obtained and whether any laws were broken
By Michelle Boorstein, Peter Hermann and Marissa J. Lang, Washington Post
April 5, 2022
Antiabortion activists said Tuesday they obtained five fetuses from a medical waste disposal driver who was outside a Washington abortion clinic, an assertion the waste disposal company denies.
Plainclothes officers removed the fetuses from a Southeast apartment where one of the activists was staying. D.C. police are still working to determine how the fetuses were obtained and whether any laws were broken.

BOULDER, Colo. — Dr. Warren Hern doesn’t have to imagine what could befall many women in America if the Supreme Court strikes down Roe vs. Wade.
In 1963, he was a medical student working nights at Colorado General Hospital in Denver. Women would arrive in septic shock, some probably hours from death. “Nobody talked about why they were there,” Hern recalled.
The growing overlap between anti-abortion activism and far-right extremism has started to spill into the real world in high-profile ways.
By Tess Owen and Carter Sherman
Feb 3, 2022
On New Year’s Eve, a fire ripped through the last Planned Parenthood in East Tennessee, turning the Knoxville abortion clinic into a hunk of rubble. As the ruins smoldered, some anti-abortion activists and members of the far-right celebrated online.
A Telegram meme account affiliated with the Proud Boys, a far-right street-fighting gang, responded to the literal fire with a string of fire emojis. “Aww, what a shame,” they wrote. “That will set their genocidal plans and baby parts market back for months.”

Preparing for the Next Natural Disaster
The world can be an unpredictable place, and while you can’t control what the next emergency will be and when it will happen – you can control how you and your team will be prepared.
Having an emergency prep plan in place allows for a quick, calm, and accurate response. Deploying personnel who know their roles and how to read and react to a situation greatly reduces confusion and increases safety.
When constructing your emergency prep plan, here are a few tips on what to include:
- Personnel and roles they will play
- Communication protocols
- Deployment outline
- Equipment list
Of course, there are a variety of other pieces of an emergency prep plan, but it’s important to consider where you and your team will rest, relax, and revive as you’re carrying out your action plan. An emergency event – whether it lasts two days or two months – can cause extreme fatigue, which increases the possibilities of injury and even death.
ACSI emergency preparation products play a mission critical role regardless of the situation. Think of them as your base command where your team can gather and get the proper rest to satisfy the safety protocols that exist. ASCI’s mobile systems include clean and dirty rooms; decon showers; sleeping quarters, showers, and restrooms for further planning and execution.
ASCI’s products are designed and built in the USA and can be crafted for remote, mobile and on demand needs. Our heavy duty, high quality, dependable manufacturing technology transcends ACSI’s entire product offering.
Because we build and design every system from the ground up in our Houston, Texas manufacturing facility, customization is our specialty. For more than 30 years we have worked with clients that span numerous industries, and we’re proud that our products and containment systems have helped them execute their jobs – from cleaning up hazardous spills to taking care of those injured by natural and manmade disasters.
Our in-house testing capabilities meet performance specs as quickly and economically as possible, and our products can handle any environment any time.
Our selection of containment systems covers a wide variety of demands, and we’re always willing to work with you to build the perfect system. Our most popular “off the shelf” units include:
Fatigue is one of the most dangerous factors when it comes to emergency response personnel. Our sleeping trailers can be customized to your specs and can accommodate 1 to 36 people depending on your needs and the layout. Climate controlled and equipped with showers and or restrooms, they provide staff with a place to regain their strength, stamina, and response time.
Negative air machines can be used in a variety of roles for emergency disasters. Large fires produce volumes of smoke, which can be dispersed by these machines. In the event of floods and hurricanes, these units help dry out the air in a structure which prevents harmful mold from forming. We carry a wide selection of these units at affordable prices. You can find more information here.
Providing your personnel with showering facilities gives them the opportunity to rest and relax before going back out into the field. Our trailers are durable and are made out of waterproof materials and feature floor drains for easy use. With shower head height at 6’5”, there’s no hunching over or crouching down. With easy to assemble, one-man set up for steps and handrails, these trailers are efficient, tough, and convenient for any location.
Safety, cleanliness, and hygiene are only a few steps away with our fully functional decon and mass decon equipment. Designed specifically with speed of setup and processing personnel through with proven and tested layouts. Our units feature showers with water heaters, lead and asbestos filtration equipment and negative air filtration. If our skids, trailers and trucks don’t suit your needs, we can custom design the right unit.
Natural disasters don’t give any advance warning, and a pre-planned response can make all the difference. When you incorporate ASCI’s containment systems into your plan, a difficult job becomes a little easier.

The guqin (a seven-stringed plucked zither) is a quintessential Chinese musical instrument with a history of more than 3,000 years. Unlike other classical Chinese instruments that were adapted from foreign cultures, the guqin is uniquely Chinese. Its reputation rests not only on the rich and diverse musical expressions it is capable of, but on the fact that it is widely viewed as a symbol of Chinese culture. Chinese thought and philosophy are integrally imbued in the guqin repertoire itself; behind every guqin piece, there is a legend or an underlying philosophy. Guqin music was declared a Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO in 2003.
Wang Fei is a master musician, published writer, and multimedia artist. She began her study of guqin in 1985 under the direction of master artist Li Xiangting at the Central Conservatory of Music in China. Wang Fei is considered one of the most experienced guqin artists of her generation. She founded the North American Guqin Association in 1997, one of the first online guqin communities. She has won several awards in the field of Chinese music, toured internationally, and given speeches, lectures, workshops on the guqin at many universities, including Stanford, UC Berkeley, and UCLA. Wang Fei is the recipient of the Library of Congress, American Folklife Center Harry Reed Award in 2014.
As a current master artist in ACTA’s Apprenticeship Program, Wang Fei is working with apprentice June Lou to refine her guqin repertoire and reach a level of mastery that will enable her to begin teaching.
Wang Fei participated in ACTA’s Apprenticeship Program in 2009 with apprentice Kwan Wong. During the apprenticeship, Wang Fei trained Kwan to assume the role of guqin educator, performer, and promoter and included a comprehensive review of playing techniques and repertoire.
The following video features Wang Fei (right) on the guqin.

These vegan strawberry shortcake ice cream bars taste like nostalgia. They are reminiscent of Good Humor strawberry popsicles, or if you're Irish, you'll remember them as "Brunch" ice creams!
Made using just 7 ingredients, they are based on oat cream and vegan condensed milk and made without dairy or coconut milk. These ingredients create a super creamy vegan no-churn ice cream.
This recipe is a paid collaboration with Natures Charm, all views are my own
📖 Recipe Overview
- Made with just 7 ingredients.
- Tastes like a CopyCat Good Humor ice cream bar (or Brunch ice cream if you're based in Ireland!)
- Light, super creamy, and bursting with strawberry flavor.
- Completely eggless, dairy-free, and nut-free.
🍓 Ingredients Needed
The creamy base for these strawberry shortcake popsicles consists of oat whipping cream and sweetened condensed oat milk from Nature's Charm. Generally, vegan condensed milk makes an incredible sweetener for vegan ice cream recipes as it does not freeze solid. This results in an ice cream that has a softer bite without ice crystals!
I find vegan shortbread cookies work best for the coating. The ones pictured above are from a European brand "veganz". You can, however, use pretty much any vegan-friendly golden cookies. You can also use homemade cookies (minus the jam!).
Freeze-dried strawberries or strawberry powder are the main flavor and color for the ice cream and crunchy coating. If you're able to find strawberry powder, you can use it as is. You can also grind freeze-dried berry pieces down in a food processor to form a powder.
🥣 How To Make Strawberry Shortcake Ice Cream Bars
Vanilla and Strawberry Ice Cream
(1) First, whisk the oat cream in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy for a few minutes. Then add in the vegan condensed milk and whisk to combine. Next, add the sea salt and vanilla and whisk to combine.
Separate the mixture into 2 parts, one will be left vanilla flavored and the other strawberry.
(2) Slowly add the strawberry powder to half of the ice cream mixture in one tablespoon increments and whisk to combine each one. Transfer the ice cream into 2 separate piping bags.
(3) Pipe the vanilla mixture into the popsicle molds first, filling them up halfway. Next pipe the strawberry mixture down into the vanilla so that it sinks into the center of the ice cream pops
(4) Cover the molds with a lid or some parchment paper. Insert wooden ice cream sticks into each lolly and freeze for 6 hours.
Strawberry Shortcake Crumble
Before making the crumble coating, remove the popsicles from the ice cream molds and set them on a tray lined with parchment paper. You want the outer layer of ice cream to soften slightly so that it takes on the crumb coating.
(5) Add the vegan shortbread cookies to a food processor and pulse to a crumb consistency.
(6) Add the strawberry powder and pulse again to combine. Then stir in the melted vegan butter.
(7) Dip the ice cream bars into the crumble mixture. I find this step easiest using a spoon, as you can press the coating in to make sure it sticks!
(8) Lastly, place the strawberry shortcake ice cream bars on a tray lined with parchment and freeze for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Store-bought ice creams contain dairy and whey and a whole lot of other additives such as colorings and flavorings. These homemade strawberry shortcake popsicles are made using more natural ingredients, and more importantly, they're completely vegan!
Absolutely. Simply add the cookies to a sealed ziplock bag and bash them using a rolling pin. Transfer the cookie crumbs to a large bowl and whisk in the strawberry powder, then stir in the melted vegan butter.
You can also grind the crumble ingredients using a pestle and mortar.
Store them in an airtight container and separate each ice cream bar with a sheet of parchment to make sure they don't stick to one another.
They will last for up to 3 months when stored properly. Note that the crunchy crumble coating is best within the first 2-3 days as after this it will begin to soften.
🍦 More Vegan Ice Cream
- 20 g (¼ cup) freeze-dried strawberry powder, or freeze-dried strawberry pieces
- 110 g (3.88 oz) vegan shortbread cookies
- 30 g vegan butter, melted
- Add the oat whipping cream to a large bowl and mix with an electric whisk for a couple of minutes until creamy. Add in the sweetened condensed oat milk and whisk for another minute to combine. Whisk in the vanilla and salt.
- Pour half of the ice cream mixture into a piping bag and set aside. Keep the other half in the mixing bowl and slowly add the strawberry powder, one tablespoon at a time, whisking in between each one to incorporate the powder into the ice cream. Once all of the strawberry powder has been mixed in, pour it into a separate piping bag.
- Pour the vanilla ice cream mixture into 10 popsicle molds, filling them up halfway. Pipe the strawberry ice cream into the molds on top of the vanilla layer. Cover with a plastic lid or sheet of parchment and pierce wooden ice cream sticks through the cover into each individual ice cream.
- Place in the freezer to set completely for 6 hours or overnight.
- To easily remove the popsicles from their molds run them under a hot tap for 10-20 seconds (without allowing water to enter into the popsicle mold itself). Place the ice cream bars on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and allow the outer layer of ice cream to become slightly soft so that the crumble coating sticks to it better.
- Add the vegan shortbread cookies to a food processor and pulse to a fine crumb. Add in the freeze-dried strawberry powder or pieces and pulse again for 10-20 seconds. Lastly, stir in the melted vegan butter and transfer the crumble mixture to a large shallow bowl.
- Dip the ice cream bars into the crumble and press the coating into each side using the back of a spoon. Place the ice cream bars back into the freezer on a lined baking tray for 10 minutes before serving.
- If you can't find vegan shortbread cookies in the store, swap them for other cookies like golden Oreos, digestive biscuits, or even graham crackers.
- You can simplify the recipe further by keeping the ice cream center to just one flavor, either vanilla or strawberry.
- For extra crunch, you can dip the frozen ice cream bars in some melted vegan white chocolate before coating them in the shortcake crumbs.

SOME OF THE MOST SHOCKING AND INFURIATING BEHAVIOR IN A COURTROOM BY SUSPECT & HIS FAMILY THAT HAS EVER BEEN SEEN. BY. Jerry Derecha / 7-27-18 If blacks want to stop being stereotyped and grouped together with every savage killer out there in the streetz who roam the streets with murder in their mind while showing no regard for the value of human life, then black culture and the quality of their family values and overall public behavior, need to undergoe a comprehensive makeover. That's putting it mildly. This display within the courtroom was straight inhuman, deplorable, barbaric, shocking and most of all just straight frightening. Frightening for those in the court room watching it. Frightening for those at home watching this transpire on television. Frightening for viewers at home who may have come to the realization in the backs of their minds that this is not the only gang banger and black family out there who carry around with them this kind of raw and rugged tribal mentality.
KILLER TURNS AROUND TO TAUNT FAMILY OF VICTIM This man had absolutely no regard for the life of that kid that he casually snuffed out for the contents of his wallet. The defendant's sister could have cared less about the fact that her brother murdered this kid in cold blood. All she could think about was how unfair white people were being to her brother by not granting him parole . The judge choosing to deny parole to Chandelle Jackson after he murdered a 19 year old college student in cold blood, mainly because he went on to taunt and threaten is family during the court proceedings. I would imagine that any other defendant who showed any semblance of remorse for their actions during the trial would have been granted the opportunity for parole. The behavior of the killer's family during and after the court proceedings were in fact more shocking to me than the behavior of the defendant whom you would expect volatile and outrageous behavior from. The family on the other hand, while still carrying obvious feelings of loyalty towards their family member should still be expected to show respect to victims family during the trial and sentencing. They instead decided to take a cue from their murderer son and joined in on the taunting and threatening of the grieving siblings and parents of the dead boy. This grieving family must have gotten the benefit of "white privilege" when the court decided not to grant the opportunity for parole to the man convicted of killing their son. How unfair for this poor black family who are just victims of the system. Gimme a break and shut the fuck up.

So, like bacon, commercial ham is a problem if you are avoiding corn and all corn derivatives. I’ve tried on multiple occasions to cure a 4-5 pound pork shoulder or a boneless Boston butt (pork butt roast), but the cure only goes in about an inch from the surface and then it’s like a version of a turducken, ham on the outside, pork roast on the inside. That’s really not what I was aiming for, and no matter how many holes I poked into the larger cuts of pork (imagine me maniacally stabbing pork shoulders with a barbecue fork), the same thing kept happening. So I decided to try ham steaks so that the density of the cut would be less thick and the whole thing might cure. Well, it did, and I have ham I can eat again.
Cure Your Own Ham Steaks
- 5 pound boneless Boston butt, a.k.a. pork butt roast (here’s a link to show you what you’re looking for)
- 1 1/2 gallons of cold water
- 1 1/2 cups of brown sugar
- 1 1/2 cups of kosher, pickling or sea salt (make sure there’s no anti-caking agents and that it’s not iodized salt, or it’ll have corn in it)
- 1/4 tsp ground cloves
- 1/2 tsp whole black peppercorns
- 1 3/4 teaspoons of celery juice powder (if you don’t have celery juice powder, you can try taking about 7-8 stalks of celery, roughly chop them and liquefy them in the blender)
Slice the boneless Boston butt across the grain (go look here if you don’t know what that means) into 1 inch thick slices.
Place all the ingredients listed, except for the boneless Boston butt slices, in a large plastic container. When choosing your container, please note that the boneless Boston butt slices will also need to fit into this container, along with a heavy plate or bowl to weigh the slices down into the brine, and it will all need to be able to fit into your refrigerator. Stir until all the salt, sugar, and celery juice powder is dissolved into the water.
Add the boneless Boston butt slices to the brine and make sure they are submerged (you can use a plate or a bowl to weigh them down).
Cover the plastic container with a lid, if it has one, or use plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Place the container in the refrigerator and brine the boneless Boston butt slices for 3 to 4 days. At the halfway point, rotate the position of the the boneless Boston butt slices so they brine evenly.
After the brining is done, rinse the slices well, making sure there aren’t any peppercorns stuck to the slices.
I’ve cooked the resulting ham steaks two ways, in the oven sort of like a whole ham, and seared on the stove top in cast iron and finished in the oven, more like a ham steak.
To roast the ham steaks like a whole ham, place the steaks in a roasting pan or baking sheet, and coat them with a bit of brown sugar as a rub. Bake them in a roasting pan at 375°F degrees for about 45 minutes to an hour or until the internal temperature is 160°F degrees.
To cook them like ham steaks, preheat your oven to 375°F degrees. Place a bit of safe for you oil in a cast iron skillet, and turn the burner to medium heat. When the oil and skillet is hot, place the steaks in the skillet, and sear until there is nice golden, caramel crust. Turn the steaks over, and sear the other side. Once both sides of the ham steaks are seared, place the skillet in the oven and roast them for about 30 minutes or until the internal temperature is 160°F degrees.
Enjoy your ham!

Picture of IVF embryo – this is a fertilized human egg (also called oocyte). This is the morning after IVF egg retrieval when we check eggs for fertilization. Male and female genetic material (DNA) are in the 2 pronuclei –(red arrows).
Photo of a high quality day 3 human embryo at the 8-cell stage 6 cells are visible in this plane of focus
This picture shows a high quality blastocyst embryo on day 5 5 day blastocyst transfer can result in high pregnancy rates with low multiple pregnancy rates
Pictures of eggs and sperm Human eggs, also called oocytes
Eggs as seen at the egg retrieval procedure The eggs (darker area below the “E”) are inside a mass of cumulus cells (“C”)
Images showing examples of normal and abnormal eggs, including low quality eggs, high quality mature eggs, abnormal eggs, very immature eggs, and degenerative oocytes.
In the end, us men are just DNA donors. Some women would (? falsely) claim that’s all we’re good for! If cloning is ever perfected and applied to humans, women won’t even need us for our DNA. Let’s hold off on the cloning research, please…
Pictures of day one embryos
Fertilized human eggs, one-cell embryos, also called 2 pronuclear embryos or zygotes
This is what we want to see the morning after the egg retrieval in IVF cycles
Embryos such as this must be discarded.
Pictures of day 2 embryos
This is what we want to see at about 48 hours after the egg retrieval procedure
Two embryos are shown, one is multinucleated and very abnormal, the other appears normal 2-cell embryo photos: Fragmentation
Two embryos are shown, one has some fragmentation, the other does not
Images of day three embryos
This is what we want to see at about 72 hours after egg retrieval Embryos that look like this generally have a high rate of implantation after being transferred to the uterus
Pictures of normal and abnormal day 3 embryos
One embryo has a very unusual shape. Is it to become a football star? An example of a very fragmented and low quality embryo is also shown.
Pictures of day four morula stage embryos
This is the last stage of embryo development before it (hopefully) becomes a blastocyst
Pictures of blastocysts on day 5 to 6 of IVF embryo development
The blastocyst stage is the last stage of embryo development before the embryo hatches and implants into the lining of the uterus. Blastocyst transfer can reduce multiple pregnancy risks, with high pregnancy success rates.

Next, this tour parts ways to offer a truly unique experience. Use a rappelling harness and gear to descend 80 feet to a lower level of the mine, crawl through several small areas, and hike through some of the oldest and most interesting parts of the mine.
Choose Your Own Adventure
To finish the tour, the choice is up to you: either cross our daring swing bridge or leave by the traditional 10ft slide. Spanning a 30ft chasm, our swing bridge leads you over a steep stope connecting the second level to the third, to the other side, where you will once again meet up with those not brave enough to cross with you. There is an overhead safety line that you will clip in as you cross.
What to Expect
Participants will possibly get muddy and wet. Anyone considering this tour must be in good physical health and able to negotiate walking on uneven and steep terrain. A light jacket, good walking shoes, and long pants are recommended. No open-toed shoes.
Never Rappelled? No Problem
All participants will be provided with a harness, rappelling equipment, and proper safety training. Most active and healthy people can rappel. It requires a minimal amount of dexterity and core strength.
Duration: 1.5 hours
Price: $36 for Adults. $16 for 6-12 yr olds. Free for 0-5 yr olds.
Minimum Age: None
What’s Different? Easy hike that is accessible to the entire family.
Duration: 2-3 hours
Minimum Age: 12 years old
What’s Different? This is the only tour where you rappel 80 feet to another part of the mine.
Duration: 5-6 hours
Minimum Age: 13 years old
What’s Different? This is a hiking tour that descends to the second level, where many mining artifacts were left by early miners.

Photo Credit: AEDEAs reported by the United Nations, by 2050, the world population is expected to increase by 2.3 billion and most of these new inhabitants will reside in urban areas. Land use, locally, regionally and globally, is rapidly changing due to the growing urbanization of the world, the emergence of new land use agents and the growing interconnectedness of the world economy. Over the past few decades, land change science, which studies the dynamics of land use, has emerged as a fundamental field, important to the study of global environmental change and sustainability. However, much work remains to be done to fully understand how land use dynamics can be used to proactively encourage sustainable development in the coming years.
“Rethinking Global Land Use in an Urban Era” includes over 40 leading international scholars from the natural and social science realms, as well as from various policy and practice communities. Through the Forum, the researchers are given an opportunity to discuss and develop future visions for land use research. The Forum aims to give researchers space to engage on the following topics:
Understand the growing competition for access to, and the use of, productive land given finite land resources;
Identify the new forms of distal land connection in the 21st century and their implications for global land use and society;
Identify the effects of increasing global land connections and competition on local land use decisions and emergent global land governance;
Identify new agents and practices in global land use; and
Make explicit the normative evaluations (efficiency, equity, justice, etc.) as applied to land use.
“Rethinking Global Land Use in an Urban Era” divides its participants into four discussion groups; these groups focus on a particular theme each: finite land resources and competition; distal land connections; decision-making, governance and institutions; and reconceptualizing urban land use. Discussion amongst groups and cross-fertilization of ideas during the course of the week-long event are greatly encouraged. Irwin was chosen by the Forum’s steering committee specifically for her participation in the group focused on finite land resources and competition due to her extensive research in this field.
The Ernst Strüngmann Forum is dedicated to the promotion of interdisciplinary communication and research. The meetings hosted by the organization, which focus on topics as diverse as cultural evolution to disease eradication, provide a creative environment where top international scientists and thinkers are able to engage on topics that transcend classical disciplinary boundaries. The output of each Forum meeting is a book published by MIT press, which is generally published approximately one year after a Forum meets.

What I want to say is… If you’re beside me, that’s enough for me. It’s not because I need you. You’re enough for me. Just having you beside me is enough. – Yi Do

She encounters King Leedo who yearns to learn advanced mathematics and falls in love with him.
