In most states, motorcycle riders are required to hold two types of motorcycle insurance: bodily injury coverage and property damage liability insurance. Other kinds of coverage are optional.
The type of coverage you need depends on your experience, your bike, and your desires. If you have multiple bikes, we may be able to offer you a discount. If you ride someone else's bike, make sure to get in touch to make sure that you are fully covered for this situation.
When setting up your motorcycle insurance policy, think about whether or not you ride with valuable items such as tools, a cellphone, or your bike gear itself. This may or may not be covered by your existing insurance.
You should also consider your liability if you are riding with a passenger. Don't take it for granted that you are fully covered by your current policy. Investigate your insurance policy or talk to us to get a clear idea of what you can and can't do, and how you are protected.
This is like auto insurance that covers watercraft and normally covers vessels with motors, including paddle boats, fishing boats, and yachts. It typically does not cover canoes or kayaks.
Like auto insurance, boat insurance can protect the holder with a policy that includes collision damage, bodily injury liability, property damage, and other options. Just like auto insurance, boat insurance is a legal requirement in most states. In some states, you must also have liability coverage. Those without boat insurance may have a tricky time trying to dock at certain marinas. If you are acquiring a loan to purchase a boat, it won't be long before you talk about purchasing boat insurance.
We are here if even if you need snowmobile insurance. Our snowmobile insurance covers similar situations to auto insurance. Therefore, it may include:
• collision coverage, which will cover you if you hit another snowmobile or a fallen branch
• bodily injury liability coverage to help you cover the costs of medical expenses if you injure someone else with your snowmobile
• property damage liability coverage for those who collide with property such as a fence or a wall
• or comprehensive coverage, which will protect you if your snowmobile is damaged by something other than a collision, such as vandalism.

When asked about the idea of accessibility in cinema, acclaimed Danish director Lars Von Trier once said:
“Our generation, as well as the younger ones, has had phenomenal training in the reading of images […] Today we see films around the clock. If you showed a modern television report to somebody from [the past], they would be totally unable to comprehend what they saw”.
By this reasoning, the ‘inaccessible’ in cinema is a constantly shifting target, held at the whims of an increasingly savvy viewing public. The audience’s viewing comprehension will catch up, Von Trier reasons. You just have to place trust in them until they get there.
Looking back, the history of cinema has seen a marked increase in the amount of trust placed in audiences. Whereas 1925’s Battleship Potemkin was once considered transgressionary in allowing its viewer to interpret a ‘third thing’ by displaying disparate images in sequence (an effect inescapable in modern cinema), now films like Primer (which bases the crux of its plot on a realistic model of quantum physics) can be appreciated without the expectation of coherence at all, often times—as in the case of the films of Christopher Nolan—prominently in the public eye.
As trust in the audience has grown, so have the possibilities of the medium, giving way to works which place increasing emphases on the method of their telling to create a theme and a sense of place. Cinema is now a complex and multi-faceted thing. What began as a means of documenting hard-to-replicate visual curious, like Edison’s infamous 1894 Boxing Cats, is now able to tell stories with increasing spiritual and philosophical relevance, all because they can trust in their viewership to comprehend and explore larger concepts; an effect that only grows as time passes, and newer generations of filmmakers approach cameras for the first time.
I think this is why—given the immense amount of trust it places in its audience—David Lynch’s seminal 1977 debut Eraserhead has remained such a mainstay in cult movie circles. Lynch’s ‘dream of dark and troubling things’ (as the director himself puts it) is a film that requires an extensive amount of trust from both viewer and director, and rewards them for it in kind.
A feature-length experiment, Eraserhead peeks into the life of Henry Spencer, a pitiable man in a pitiable apartment living a pitiable existence, who is suddenly given charge of a baby: an alien, snake-like creature bound in cloth that won’t stop crying. All the while, he is visited by visions of a woman in his radiator, who shows him obscure symbols and visions, not too distinct from the surreal happenings of his day-to-day life, in which miniature cooked chickens dance, and friends and neighbours speak in cryptic shorthand.
Shot in black and white, scored by an industrial drone, and delivered at a deliberately slow, dream-like pace, Eraserhead is often described within heavy quotation marks as a “difficult” film. It is the prototypical arthouse film, so dependent on the individual elements of its production that a plot summary only serves to confuse things. It is a film that can only be understood by the act of watching, and in trusting that its difficulty ultimately serves some purpose.
Eraserhead places trust in its viewers to find something humorous, something meaningful; something worthwhile in its world. I think it speaks to the film’s triumphs that generations of filmgoers have expressed gratitude for the gesture.
This ‘Do It Yourself’ approach to film interpretation can have its drawbacks. A film like Zack Snyder’s widely derided Sucker Punch, or The Matrix Revolutions, demonstrates what happens when a director asks their audience to find something meaningful in their work only to be met with indifference, if not disdain. Surreal images and confusing plotlines don’t always pay off, doubly so when they seem to be little more than an excuse for the creator’s hastily-prepared idea salad.
One of the most interesting things about modern filmmaking is that the concept of trust seems to have changed hands. In the last fifteen years, ideas like Roland Barthe’s ‘death of the author’—which reasons that audiences have more of a role in the act of creation than once thought—have grown increasingly popular both inside and outside of academic spaces (doubly so with the growth of fan-fiction), and as a result general audiences have begun to take a more active stance in matters of interpretation.
As creators have placed more trust in the audience, the audience has inversely lost trust in creators. This effect is demonstrated any time a modern television show presents an elaborate mystery: for example, thousands of people only half-watched J.J. Abrams’ Lost because they believed that its ponderous, highly interpretive plot wouldn’t be worthwhile. Even Lynch’s own television series Twin Peaks would meet a similar fate in the 1990s. Now, with unfettered access to films and TV shows, “difficult” mysteries are a dime-a-dozen. Audiences need a clear reason to care lest they lose interest altogether.
This is one of Eraserhead’s greatest strengths: Lynch’s approach to creation has a tendency to make the audience care. In the years since the film was released, David Lynch’s surreal works have all exhibited a common feature: despite having no clear meaning, they are far from meaningless. Eraserhead marks the beginning (at least, in the medium of feature-length film) of Lynch’s experiments in creating meaningful images.
There’s an internal logic to Lynch’s debut that is easily appreciable, if not quite as easily understood. Recurring images of sperm-like creatures (not least Henry’s baby itself) combine with a distinct and consistent visual style (one that would be adapted throughout Lynch’s oeuvre, but which almost always gave precedence to unflattering close-ups of human faces) to give the film a confidence that many other ‘Do It Yourself’ interpretive films lack.
Eraserhead is slow and vague, sure, but it’s also a remarkably powerful experience. To this day, the grinding horror of Henry Spencer’s life is tangible; the cracked-walls-and-cornflakes ennui of his newfound fatherhood is etched into the every scene. Lynch’s direction and sound design are, appropriate to Spencer’s malformed child, completely alien even to modern eyes and ears.
The film’s extended opening in particular, in which a mysterious, godlike figure pulls the levers that ostensibly ‘give birth’ to the rest of the film, is a web of overwhelming visual and audio stimuli. Presented with no dialogue, a perpetual bass hum and bearing only a figurative relevance to the rest of the film, it’s a sequence that simultaneously evokes ideas of fate, sex, birth, and death; dread, wonder, and horror, without ever fully showing its hand. Although it may not have any one clear message to impart, it’s a bold, aesthetically dense, and emotionally rich introduction to an experience which only follows suit.
It’s for this reason that Lynch is inseparable from the word ‘surreal’. Finding meaning in obtuse images, and by extension, trusting the audience to be able to, has always been surreal art’s calling card. Consider the classic avant garde surrealism of Luis Buñuel, for example, or Maya Deren’s retroactively lauded Meshes of the Afternoon (of which Lynch is an admitted fan), both of which utilise obtuse, yet heavily-loaded images to inspire reactions in their audience.
Where Lynch departed from ‘classical’ surrealism was in intent: whereas something like Buñuel and Salvador Dali’s work on surreal mainstay Un Chien Andalou was combative, intending to disrupt the sensibilities of bourgeoisie art critics of the time (in many regards the ethos of surrealism in the early 20th Century), Lynch’s Eraserhead lacked such an explicit purpose.
In the realm of feature-length film, Eraserhead was an anomaly, lacking the political and revolutionary bent traditional of surreal art. It didn’t seem to have been created as a reaction to anything, nor did it come with a manifesto or notes to assist the audience’s viewing, Lynch’s vision placed trust in its audience to find enrichment without clear motivation.
Critic Joel Bocko argues that Eraserhead remains watchable because there’s surety to Lynch’s approach to the abstract. He posits:
“The confidence of Lynch’s endeavour stems from his discovery, early in Eraserhead’s production, of Transcendental Meditation. That practice and system of beliefs would charge all of his work with the certainty that there is a hidden order beneath the perplexing surface”.
In essence, Lynch’s belief that the chaos of the abstract may not be as chaotic as it seems gives the film authenticity. It is sincere enough in its meaninglessness that the audience is compelled to find meaning.
Lynch has written and talked extensively about the effect that Transcendental Meditation has had on his life. One of the most observable is the way in which it has allowed him to trust his intuition in creating powerful images. His spiritual belief in a ‘unified field’ of creativity (what is best described as the subconscious) in particular has given him the unabashed enthusiasm to bring his dreams to life on screen, whether they make sense or not, and trust that the power of seeing the subconscious recreated so vividly will bring about a response in the audience.
In this regard, Eraserhead marks the point at which the filmmaking industry’s trust in the audience plateaued. Surreal cinema as popularised by Buñuel and Dali may not have always been easy viewing, but it had always led its viewer to some sort of political or philosophical conclusion: there had always been some degree of affect buried in the obscure, even if it was contingent on the author’s insisting as much. Eraserhead on the other hand is impersonal and largely without affect. It is the tension between this lack of meaning and the spiritual confidence of Lynch’s direction that has granted the film its longevity.
It’s also easy to argue that this is why Lynch has always remained aloof when it comes to interpretations of his films. There are a few popular theories surrounding Eraserhead, all of which he’s cautious to comment on. Many latch onto the fact that Lynch’s daughter, director and author Jennifer Lynch, was born close to the film’s release, and consider Henry Spencer’s child a manifestation of the director’s fear of parenthood. Others note that the film’s proximity to Lynch’s own move to Philadelphia, not to mention the film’s focus on industry and bleak urban lives, gives the film a rather damning perspective on city life.
Regardless of the effect that Lynch’s personal circumstances had on his work, it almost doesn’t matter; any viewing remains a personal experience. Eraserhead is such an obliquely told film that it is impossible to genuinely engage with it on another’s terms and stay awake to tell the tale. Looking at Eraserhead alongside Lynch’s life is an interesting academic exercise, but ultimately betrays the quirks that have made it so beloved.
Eraserhead is such a popular cult film because it has consistently rewarded the trust of its audience. It has managed to defy explanation for so long, in spite of the fact that its genuine portrayal of dream-like states and the subconscious seems so convincing. Whether appreciated as an abstract body-horror, a treatise on parenthood or a more complex experiment in form, Eraserhead hasn’t been constrained by the politics and trends of one man, one movement, or one time, and remains open to anyone willing to give it their time.
Although it doesn’t directly touch upon issues of belief or being, it is an intrinsically spiritual film, contingent on the faith of its viewer, its creator, and the strength of the emotions invoked by its subconscious dreamscapes. Ultimately, if Lynch’s surreal nightmare has one lesson to impart, it’s that no matter how ‘inaccessible’ or ‘difficult’ films become, as long as they portray the visions of another authentically, the audience will catch up and find a way to comprehend them all the same.

For many years as I ran about in corporate life, rushing from my car to work in the cold, snow, and blustery winds, I forgot how wonderful winter is. When we purchased our land, the joy and beauty of a winter day came rushing back.
Earlier this week, my husband and I decided to take a hike to enjoy the peace and tranquility…
The river, tumbling along beneath the ice, the delicate sound of it gurgling over the rocks, prettier than the most soothing of music.
The barred owls, gearing up for mating season in a few months, called back and forth, bringing my eyes up amongst the tall tree tops seeking a peek.
The gobbling of a flock of wild turkeys making my heart pound – I love wild turkeys so much I stop breathing when I hear them, longing for them to come my way.
Any my toes, growing steadily colder the further we wandered and the more time I stood still listening to the wilderness. Not wanting to head home, we had a great idea – a little fire out in the snow! We gathered some small sticks and twigs as well as leaves still clinging to their dormant trees for a starter. A few minutes later, we had a jolly little fire. My toes were very grateful!
Sitting there, hearing the woods, the wild, and the crackle of our fire brought me true joy and peace. It was a day I can’t wait to repeat.
Make sure you follow me on Instagram @the_mn_homsgead to stay cozy and be a part of our homesteading adventures!

Upon return from their very (very, very, very) lengthy summer break, Senate Democrats blocked a $1.1 billion Zika funding bill, which has failed yet again. This time, Democrats objected because of language that would prevent Planned Parenthood from receiving contraception funding (the virus can be sexually transmitted). Approximately 20 million women in the U.S. require subsidized family planning services from providers like Planned Parenthood.
Some fun other additions Republicans included in this emergency legislation target the Clean Water Act and protect the right to fly the Confederate flag. Sen. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, for his part, has no idea why this didn’t work out! Not a clue! “It’s hard to explain why, despite their own calls for funding, Democrats would block plans to keep women and babies safe from Zika,” he said in a beautiful explosion of irony before the vote, according to the New York Times. The $1.1 billion bill remains considerably shy of the $1.9 billion in funding the White House requested to combat the virus, and is mostly comprised of reallocated funding from other health programs.
“I’m still stunned that the Republican leader decided to have a seven-week vacation, and it was more important to do that than funding our nation’s Zika response,” Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid said. From the Huffington Post:
“Earlier this year, Democrats tried in vain to bring Republicans to the realization that Zika was imperiling the health of all, but especially women of child-bearing age,” Reid added. “Republicans were more interested in attacking Planned Parenthood and flying the Confederate flag ― can’t make that stuff up; that’s really the truth ― than protecting women and babies from this awful virus.”
As both parties spent months accusing each other of manipulating a crisis for political gain, Zika has gained traction in the U.S. As of late August, according to the Times, there are over 16,800 cases of Zika in the U.S., including Puerto Rico, which has been hardest hit. Over 1,500 pregnant women have the virus, and 17 babies have been born with severe birth defects. And the CDC is almost out of money.
Some Republicans have begun to indicate an end to the impasse. “For this to get done, that language just may have to go away,” Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) told the Charlotte Observer.
You sure hit that nail on the head, Roy!

A new coronavirus may be to blame for a pneumonia outbreak in China; costs to give birth increase, even with employer coverage; HHS declares a public health emergency in Puerto Rico after a devasting earthquake.
The World Health Organization (WHO) announced a potential cause of mysterious cases of pneumonia in the Chinese city of Wuhan as stemming from a new coronavirus. WHO said the Chinese government is confirming the explanation, but the government has not yet made an official statement, reported STAT. The illness has infected at least 59 people. Experts urge the country to share more information regarding the outbreak in order to effectively address concerns of travelers to the region.
A study published by Health Affairs looking at employer-provided health insurance of more than 650,000 women found that from 2007 to 2015, there was a 50% increase in new mothers’ out-of-pocket expenses for birth. According to an article by CBS News, a new mother spent just over $3000 out of pocket in 2007, compared to $4500 in 2015, the most recent year data was available. This jump is over 3 times the rate of inflation of that time period. “The cost of one birth—in itself the most common reason for a woman to be hospitalized in her lifetime—is now more than the typical woman earns in a month. The average full-time worker in America makes just over $41,000 a year, or around $3,400 a month, according to the U.S. Labor Department,” authors said.
HHS Secretary Alex M. Azar declared a public health emergency in Puerto Rico, following a series of earthquakes this week. The most severe earthquake reached a magnitude of 6.4 and was the strongest one to hit the island in over 100 years, according to the BBC. The announcement follows Governor Wanda Vazquez’s declaration of a state of emergency for the island issued Tuesday.

Taking their place within the 40 million-brick Miniland, one of a number of attractions at Legoland, Top Gear presenters Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May, plus the elusive Stig, can be seen huddled around the famous Caterham Seven in a motorsport-themed area.
As well as gaining the Top Gear award, the £38,000 Caterham Superlight R500 proved its giant-killing potential by outpacing supercars like the £1 million Bugatti Veyron.
Legoland's chief model maker, Guy Bagley, said: "My colleague remembered that the Stig had put the R500 through its paces and how incredible it was on the track. It's such a timeless and iconic car that it was a 'no-brainer' as our choice for the motorsport area, having already decided to feature Top Gear. Its design lends itself particularly well to our bricks, too".Porsche introduces Cayenne PHEV

Anstey Nomads are far from nomadic. They have played their home games at Cropston Road since their formation in 1946. Situated to the North West of Leicester, Anstey is a large village that is separated from Leicester by the city's Western bypass and Rothey Brook - which I believe has been a contributor to more than one postponement at Cropston Road. The ground is yet another fine example of a non-league stadium, much like nearby Quorn and Barrow Town. There really must be something in the water around Leicesterhsire that contributes to excellent non-league stadiums.
The ground is very neat and tidy, benefiting from what looks like fairly new red and white fencing around the playing area. There is a flagpole in each corner bearing the club insignia. Parking within the stadium complex is quite limited, although I found a spot, but there is also a car park adjacent to the ground which is only a stones throw from the turnstiles. The facilities are all on the car park side of the ground. A nicely appointed clubhouse which has a small covered seating area directly in front of it. On the opposite side of the ground there is a low, covered standing area which spans almost half of the ground at the Cropston Road end. Next to this are the team dugouts.
There were no programmes on sale as far as I could see. However, it was very easy to get a team sheet (complete with Sileby Rangers history on the reverse) from the Nomads media man. Much as I like to collect a programme, having the team sheets is just as useful, especially if it is a first visit to a ground.
As far as I can tell, this would be the first competitive meeting between the sides (at least in major competitions). There is no FA Vase or FA Cup history between them and the teams have, until this season, progressed through different league structures, Sileby solely in the United Counties League and Nomads through the Leicestershire Senior League and East Midlands Counties. Both sides were approaching the game from fairly string league positions. In the case of Anstey, a very strong league position. Rangers, in sixth, sat 15 points adrift of leaders Lutterworth Town. Nomads, however, sat second, four points behind the leaders but with two games in hand.
Rangers' league form had been very up and down coming into this game. In the last five they had alternated between winning and losing, with their last outing being a 4-1 victory over Raunds Town. Nomads, up until last week, had won five on the bounce scoring 19 and conceding just 4. However, they did come unstuck at Bugbrooke last Saturday, going down 2-1 their first league defeat since October.
The first thing I noticed after kick-off was that as soon as the Anstey players got more than about 40 yards away it was almost impossible to pick out their black numbers on their red shirts. Maybe that was more down to my ageing eyes rather than anything else?
Nomads started the brighter of the two and the game was just a few minutes old when Cory Armeni produced the first meaningful attempt at goal, flashing a drive just wide of the Sileby goal. We had a small amount of controversy after 15 minutes when Anstery striker James Hicks burst into the box and, after a collision with both a defender and the goalkeeper which produced penalty shouts from the home side, rolled the ball against the post and out of play. The referee was unmoved by the claims for a foul and signalled a goal-kick.
However, Anstey were not to be denied for much longer and, after 20 minutes, they took the lead with a low, driven effort from just outside the box from Ash Day. 1-0.
Seven minutes later Rangers' defence was caught out by a quickly taken free-kick which allowed James Hicks to get in behind the defence and slide the ball home for 2-0.
It was a case of men against boys at this stage. Rangers just were not competing anywhere on the pitch. Anstey were quicker to the ball and sharper of mind. It was, therefore, no real surprise when after 33 minutes the home side extended their lead. This time I actually managed to track the goal-scorer after the goal and see his number as they lined up for the restart. Corey Armeni, who had fired off the opening salvo in the first couple of minutes, with a another low effort past Riley's outstretched fingers. 3-0.
Once again the goal came about through Rangers just not closing the Nomads player down.
There was still enough time for the Sileby coach, during a break in play, to administer some stinging words to his players. A precursor to a much greater rant at half-time, no doubt.
HT Anstey Nomads 3 Northampton Sileby Rangers 0. There really has been only one team in the first half. Rangers just haven't turned up. Nomads have been better all over the pitch and may be disappointed to only be three to the good.
Nice to meet @OllyHFR at half-time. Olly is a Hopeless Football Romantic or at least a Senior Editor for HFR. Click on the link to take a look at their website if you get a chance.
Nomads for their part were probably quite content to sit on their three goal lead, although I think that Rangers had actually raised their standard enough to be preventing Anstey from increasing their tally. If Rangers had applied themselves in the same way during the first half we may well have had a much different game.
As it was, Nomads comfortably saw out the game with no further scoring from either team.
FT Anstey Nomads 3 Northampton Sileby Rangers 0. The game was won and lost in the first half. Nomads were good, Rangers were poor. In the second half it was much more of a 50/50 competition but Rangers couldn't find an early goal that may have shaken the game up. Anstey move to within a point of Lutterworth with a game in hand.

As the engineer for thermal management device, he will choose the AC fan per ventilation and cooling system requirement. First, engineer will have to verify the power input is AC or DC. Then, the frequency is 50Hz or 60Hz, and main AC power input is 115Vac or 230Vac, and then engineer will choose AC cooling fans based on the size, air flow, statistic pressure and so on. The most popular fan size will be 120x38mm, 80x38mm, 254x89mm, 172x150x55mm, 60x30mm, 92x25mm, 225x80mm, 190x70mm, and if AC fans will be used in a rugged circumstance, the engineer may choose the fans with metal impellers. If AC fans will be used in a high humid environment, then, the engineer can choose AC fans with waterproof. Especially, in those couple years, more and more requirements for green technology, so the engineer may consider the EC fan for the purpose of energy saving.

Royals acquire catcher Cruz from Cardinals for minor leaguer
KANSAS CITY (AP) — The Royals have acquired backup catcher Tony Cruz from the St. Louis Cardinals for minor league infielder Jose Martinez while designating catcher Francisco Pena for assignment.
The teams announced the trade Wednesday.
Cruz hit .204 with two homers and 11 RBIs in 9 games for the Cardinals. The 29-year-old, who can also play third base, could compete with Drew Butera for the backup catcher job behind Sal Perez.
Butera is eligible for arbitration after arriving in Kansas City in a trade this past season. Cruz also is arbitration eligible.
The 19-year-old Martinez spent most of last season at rookie-level Burlington, hitting .243 with four doubles, a homer and 24 RBIs in 57 games.

Readers, please enjoy this guest blog post by Aaron Leitch, author of several books, including Secrets of the Magickal Grimoires, The Angelical Language Volume I and Volume II, and Essential Enochian Grimoire.
Greetings fellow witches!
Herbal washes and waters are among the most popular tools used in traditional forms of shamanism and folk magick around the world. They have existed for as long as humans have known how to make herbal teas, but their uses go far beyond medicinal beverages. In fact, they are exceptionally powerful tools in any witch's arsenal—it might just be easier to list the ways in which herbal waters cannot be used than to list all of their diverse
The Marseille Tarot Revealed
Marseille Tarots have a rich history, a unique artistic style, and layered symbolism. Yoav, (who sadly passed away last year) was a modern master of this tradition. In this book we have a record of his knowledge of not only the cards themselves but also about reading the cards. Whatever style of deck you use, you can probably pick up some surprising insights from Yoav’s work. Here he talks about the questions asked during a reading:
What is the Question?

What do you call a fashionable lawn statue with an excellent sense of rhythm? A metro-gnome.
The longer you wait to reset the sign to zero, the higher your score. But don't wait too long, or someone else might reset it!
Just like word magnets you might find on a fridge, but online!
Press and hold the button for a long as you can endure. You might even get on the leaderboard!
Because the original Bubble Shooter game is way too hard.

There are many things to prepare when you want to sell your car. If the car you are about to sell is the only car you have, you might be in for a big change in your lifestyle. Some people who sell their cars and try to live without it would be surprised at how needed and wanted they could be. Custom cars could be perfectly functional and very much necessary in someone’s life, though not all people could readily see it.
Nowadays the car being auctioned by the government agencies like police auction would benefit and attract from a much cheaper price. Moreover, it’s safer to buy a car here because the car is often a real car that has stood the test of quality and also it’s not necessary to worry about the stolen car problem at government auction.
Unless you are completely satisfied with the condition of the car and really know your stuff then chances are you won’t be reading this article. For everyone else – it’s a good idea to have a professional mechanic inspect the vehicle prior to purchase. This might cost some money but it could save you tons of money down the road. Remember used tracks ,this is what mechanics are trained to do and they will be the first to find and diagnose any problems.
Luck and the source can make you stand in front of two things. One you are face a car which may have gone through only a few drives before, or you can even be offered with a collection of junks made to stand by any means. You have to find the truth and reveal the real quality of the used vehicle. . After going through risk and payments, which makes buying an used car is like biting the hands for a few dollars. After three years from the date of purchase, the vehicle’s value is depreciated. Then it comes to paying less for the vehicle when taken by a new owner.
Scottsdale, Arizona has an enormous market of Hyundai cars – both new and so used. Reputed dealers like Chapman Scottsdale Hyundai can be contacted for shopping used autos. They normally have a huge range and also provide outstanding service to all its shoppers. Added to this, Hyundai warranty policies are fairly favorable for used car buyers. Which means that it undoubtedly makes sense to go in for used Hyundai in Scottsdale Arizona.
How much does a typical used Aston Martin for sale cost? The price depends on the model, the year of production, the mileage, the general condition and the rarity of the automobile. If you want to find a really inexpensive car, you should look for one produced at least five years back and has considerable mileage. It must not be part of a rare collection. In general, you have to try the ideal balance between quality and price. You would want a powerful car that can perform well for years to come. At the same time, it has to be reasonably priced.
Internet is a great spot to find used autos. You can search and find your favorite model and make on internet. There are various websites which sell these used cars at very low prices. You can check them out and compare various different models and brands to get the best deal you deserve.
The great feature of buying an used car is that you can buy it and get a good deal wherein it may include accessories and special components. This is opposed to the fact that there is a possibility you cannot afford those when you buy a new one.

By the way, this latest project from Pardi's musical pillbox boasts creations from the hands of hit country writers including Natalie Hemby, Jeffrey Steele, and Dean Dillon to name a few.

Having your own home can lead to a lot of miscellaneous duties. Cleaning your impact window can become one of these duties, but it’s something that should be done. Impact windows are generally appealing due to the frame and the clearness of the glass. To clean the window properly, there are steps to take. You start by scrubbing the window with water and detergent. It is recommended to wait until its cloudy outside as the sun will dry the soap faster, leaving streaks. Next, you rinse the window and remove the excess water with a squeegee. After it is completely dry, it is a good idea to polish it with a cloth to have it in pristine condition.

One of my strongest desires as an educator of adults is to assist people down their path, giving them the knowledge and skills to better themselves and their world. By holding myself at the same level as my students, by connecting with their interests and their lives, I’m able to better understand who they are as people and what makes them tick as a student. This, in turn, allows me to better connect with how they learn, how to best engage them in learning, and how to use my own connections outside of the educational environment to help better my students’ lives.
I attempt to instill a love of learning in my students. There’s so much to explore, and the world moves incredibly quickly, especially in the realm of the technology subjects I often teach. I encourage my students to develop a thirst for finding credible and useful information about subjects they are interested in, an incredibly useful skill in an information-based society. I like to get people excited about the possibilities that technology brings, and think about how technology can be used to better the lives of individuals, communities and supportive organizations like nonprofits.
I want to help my students succeed. I do this by not only guiding them with technical knowledge, critical thinking and creative skills, but also by building up their confidence. There is power in believing that you can accomplish something, and a strong base of knowledge and skills goes a long way to strengthen that self-sustaining belief. I encourage my students to try new things, to reach for difficult solutions, to learn from failures, and to celebrate accomplishments.
Ultimately, I’m hoping to make a connection with my students, to step into the role of a trusted mentor. I want to be whom they come to with both difficulties and successes, so that I can assist getting them over impediments and see that light go off in their eyes when they finally understand something they’ve struggled with.
I have over 18 years of experience in education and technology. Having worked as an educator, instructional assistant, web designer, web developer, project manager, user experience designer, technical director, and information architect, I have a wide range of experiences to call upon to help others with technology and curriculum development issues.
I have a Masters of Education in Educational Leadership and Policy from Portland State University with a focus on Adult learning, instructional design, and eLearning as well as a Bachelors of Science in Multimedia and Web Design.
I currently work part time at the Center for Academic Innovation in Chemeketa Community College, helping faculty with learning management systems and instructional design. When not in the Center for Academic Innovation, I’m creating websites as Griffin Digital Design or teaching classes in web design and development at the Pacific University in the Media Arts department and at Chemeketa in the Visual Communications department.
Living in the Pacific Northwest for the past 18 years, I have a love of photography and the outdoors. While I still think fondly of the autumn colors of my youth in Upstate New York, Oregon truly is home. When not working, I can often be found spending time with my wife and fur-babies, reading a book, or playing a video game.

A man who spent 17 years in prison for a crime he did not commit spoke about his experiences in prison and what his life has been like since he was exonerated to students in the Criminal Law and Advocacy classes Jan. 17.
At age 19, Obie Anthony was convicted of murder in connection with a car-jacking robbery and was sentenced to life imprisonment. Anthony maintained that he was innocent, and his case was taken up around five years ago by the then-newly formed Project for the Innocent at Loyola Law School under Professor Laurie Levenson and senior fellow Adam Grant. Former Head Prefect Brooke Levin ’12 was an intern working on the case, helping with mathematics and forensics, and science teacher David Hinden, a former federal prosecutor, helped her write up her findings.
Last year, after Anthony had spent 17 years in prison, a judge found that Anthony was wrongfully convicted and released him.
In designing the new Kutler Center course on Criminal Law and Advocacy, Hinden met with Levenson in efforts to find a way to connect the class with Loyola Law School, and they decided to create a film as a way to study the case.
Hinden plans on having each of the two sections of the class create their own short film telling Anthony’s story. As a result, he has been bringing in different speakers, including Levenson and Levin, to speak to the class and be interviewed to be included in the film.
“There is a saying that better that a hundred guilty people should go free than one innocent person should be convicted, but sometimes an innocent person is convicted and it’s important to try and right that,” Hinden said.
During his visit to the class, Anthony spoke about when he found out that he was under suspicion in the case and then later charged for the crime. He took students through his conviction, his time in prison and his several unsuccessful appeals.

Association: – devastating fury, – cleaning rage. Question: – What must I burn to escape?
A dream in which one has donated a fire can refer to suppressed fury. What has one lighted, for which there stands this object? Were you alone or were others involved? How have you laid the fire? Has one got you, besides?
- see: News of misfortunes on lake, – possibly you yourselves concerning.

It seems like a former member of the now-defunct Plantashun Boiz group, Ahmedu Obiabo, popularly called Blackface, is not going to give up on dragging former label mate 2Baba, over some songs they worked on while together.
“African Queen”, a major hit single, released by 2Baba in 2004, which went on to win the Hypertek Digital boss various awards, is one of the tracks Blackface is laying claims to.
Blackface says he is pained as he never got credited by the label or even the ”Frenemies” singer for writing the song, so he’s gone ahead to release his version of “African Queen” and a music video to go with it.
Blackface retained elements of the original version, like the lyrics, chorus, verses, and rhythm, in his own version.
Explaining the rationale behind the track, Blackface said, “I gave the initial singer the right to sing the song but I never got credited as a writer by the label.”
He said, “The singer (2baba) included a third verse he wrote to the music when it was produced by OJB but I took that verse out and included the third I had written to make this version of mine totally written by self .”
With this move, it is unclear if the singer has decided to let go of the acclaimed original version.
There’s been series of social media outbursts and court battles over ownership of the song by Blackface who has refused to give up.

Aparecida is in danger: The “great continental mission” called for by the Latin American bishops in 2007 may die in Rome this month, with long-term consequences for the vitality of the Church in South America.
As the Synod of Bishops on the Pan-Amazon Region comes to the end of its first week, the central outcome is still in the balance. The synod must kill one of two documents. They propose competing visions of the Church’s presence in South America, and one must prevail. The other will die.
What document will the synod kill? The much-maligned synod working document, which downplays evangelization in favor of ecology and a certain romantic primitivism? Or will they kill Aparecida, in the presence of the very pope who was its principal drafter 12 years ago?
Both cannot survive. And if the favored vision of the synod is its working document, then Aparecida is dead, and the synod fathers will have proved themselves betrayers of the pastoral vision of Pope Francis.
The stakes are that high. The “missionary discipleship” that goes out to the “peripheries” has been the Holy Father’s constant refrain from the beginning. Yet at the synod to date, it does not look good for Aparecida, as the apparent consensus of the deliberations thus far has not sharply challenged the working document, which retreats from the mission and is rather light on discipleship.
The working document, released in June, has been subject to withering criticism for months.
“Copious in the text are cultural, ecological and socioeconomic themes,” wrote Cardinal Jorge Urosa Savino, emeritus of Caracas, in a three-part series for the Register that exposed the profound weaknesses of the text. “Less plentiful, but extremely more important, are the proposals for evangelization and pastoral action.”
So vehement was the criticism that by the time the synod opened, few voices bothered to defend it substantively. The preferred line — repeated by Pope Francis and by Cardinal Lorenzo Baldiserri, head of the synod secretariat — was that it was a “martyr text.” As the basis for discussion, it is meant to “die,” giving way to a new text that expresses the fullness of the synod deliberations.
If so, someone will have to kill it. Who might that be?

We go to the gym, we focus on eating right and looking after our skin but how often do you stop and take care of the part of our body that allows us to be ourselves?! For me, it took years even to consider that I might have anxiety, it felt like admitting it was to fail or that people would think less of me (spoiler alert – they don’t!). Anxiety will appear differently, at different stages of your life, and when I stepped back and realised it affected me, I realised just how far back it began. As far back as being a little girl and the feelings of dread I used to get before going to a friends birthday party!
“Everyone has anxiety, it just varies and some of us handle it better than others.”
I am an introvert, but I am very good at putting on this confident persona to get me through social situations. Most of my friends are loud and proud extroverts, and I need that in my life- it always takes me a little while to warm up, every possible scenario will have run through my head before arriving, but once I’m comfortable I can be right up there with them. I have social anxiety and get ridiculously anxious before I see anybody or go out. Every time. I freak out before answering the phone or when a new message pops up.
“But I have people in my life who, when I see them don’t make me feel anxious and that includes my boyfriend, my parents and my best friend.”
From panic attacks on a plane in Dubai to a Shinkansen train in Japan, I have had them in some less than desirable places. Sometimes they are quick, other times they take over my whole afternoon. Sometimes if I’m extra stressed the manifest in the form of a migraine and wipe me out for days, major UGH. Although I feel completely helpless when one happens, they are NOT for the faint hearted. Trust me. What does it feel like? Well, it’s remarkably hard to put all of this into words…
But imagine the ocean; even on the calmest of days, underneath the surface currents swirl and swell. Waves of emotion crash on the shore; some small and playful, others grow so big they make you feel small and inadequate, to deal with anxiety is to learn how to navigate your ocean and harness the power of the storms to use to your advantage.
“So how on earth do I manage to cope with all this and still travel?”
Travel puts you in a billion different social encounters surrounded by strangers and plonks you right in the middle of social situations you can’t control. Itineraries you have made may not go as expected and many parts of your trip may not go as planned. On paper, it sounds like anxiety hell but the reality can be quite the opposite!
“Travel is the chance to be selfish, in the best way possible. When you travel, you can be completely and truly yourself.”
Travel has taught me the most valuable tool is coping with all of this; how to be alone! I have come into my own over the past two years, all because I have finally embraced myself for the awkward person I am. Finding comfort in myself has been the key. I surprised myself, it turns out I am incredibly strong! I put myself out there because I know that the stress and the nerves that come with it are worth it especially when I’m on the road.
“Travel has brought a great perspective to my life.”
It gives me a chance to put all my super duper organisational skills into action, I will do tonnes of research into where I’m going, and because of that, I feel confident. I choose to surround myself with people who build me up, and I am making a conscious effort to exclude negativity from my life where I can.

Component 2: Introduce Spirulina and Chlorella to your diet
The most powerful foods on earth are Spirulina Pacifica and Chlorella Pyrenoidosa. They compliment one another in many ways because they are completely different foods with different nutrients. Spirulina is an extremely pure food, 95% digestible, extremely high in the Vitamin B-complex, iron, calcium and essential fatty acids such as Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA), which is excellent for relieving joint pain and inflammation. Spirulina is an excellent food to consume before a workout because of the explosive energy it provides to the body.
Chlorella has incredible immune building properties. Its unique fiber is great for the digestion, as well as heavy metal and synthetic toxin removal. It has large amounts of nucleic acids (RNA/DNA), which, along with amino acids (protein), are the building blocks of our cells. Chlorella can even be used topically on cuts, scrapes, infections, even serious wounds, as can Spirulina.
The second step in Achieving Great Health is to add these superfoods to your diet. Start slowly, gradually increasing them until you reach a dosage of at least eight grams of each daily. (See Appendix: Spirulina, Chlorella & Water Dosages.) You can never consume too much Spirulina and Chlorella as long as they are raw and their enzymes are intact. As you increase your dosage, gradually reduce your intake of protein from traditional sources, such as meat fish, eggs, soy and dairy products. Algae is best consumed with each meal because of its high protein content, the highest percentage of any foods known with 18 different amino acids that are in the proper ratio to one another. Protein must be consumed with everything you eat for proper digestion and nutrient absorption. Most vegetarians lack sufficient protein in their diet.
Great Health will be nearly impossible to achieve without these two powerful whole foods at the center of your diet.

I’ve had some unfortunate run-ins with guys, but not have been worse than the creepy stalker.
I had hung out with this guy and knew he just wasn’t my type and I didn’t want to see him again. I was very busy with med school (try being a third year in the midst of our annual musical) and literally barely had time to sleep.
First, he started calling me. While I was at clinic. And you can’t answer your phone in clinic (who wants their doctor answering the phone in clinic?) He called me NINE TIMES. And continually texted me because I couldn’t talk to him right then.
I called him while I was driving home from clinic. Where he made mistake #2….
“Why haven’t you called me? You’re supposed to call me on a daily basis. Because you’re my girlfriend.”
#1, I already was going to tell him I had never wanted to see him again. #2, we had barely hung out and I DEFINITELY was not his girlfriend. I then proceeded to tell him exactly that.
That night, my doorbell rang. Standing outside my door was this guy. Crying. And not just tears in his eyes, but full-on man sobs that should be reserved for events like your wife or child dying. And during these sobs he begged me to take him back (which made no sense because I never had him in the first place). I told him to go home and leave me alone.
And then mistake #3…he showed up at my door sobbing on a weekly basis for the next 2 months.
Mistake #4 deserves a blog post all to itself.

Reston, Va., Oct. 9, 2013—The World Bank, U.S. Trade and Development Agency, and U.S. Agency for International Development will be among the agencies and institutions that will participate in a session at the Geospatial and Engineering International Conference to be held November 13-14 at the Westin Hotel in Alexandria, Va.
Organizations that coordinate projects utilizing engineering and geospatial services outside the continental United States will provide information on entering and expanding business in the global market.
Featured speakers include Leila Aridi Afas, U.S. Trade and Development Agency (USTDA); Carrie Stokes, US Agency for International Development (USAID); and E. Scott Bozek, The World Bank.
Ms. Afas is Director of Export Promotion at USTDA where she works to support American job growth through the export of U.S. goods and services to emerging markets. She will discuss the opportunities for exporting engineering and geospatial services that support USTDA's objectives, including the development of modern infrastructure.
In 2011, USAID established the GeoCenter to improve the agency's ability to use geospatial information technology for spatial analysis, strategic planning, monitoring and evalutating projects and communications results. Ms. Stokes, Geographer & Director of the GeoCenter, will discuss applications of geospatial data and analysis for international development.
Mr. Bozek, Advisor and Director of Business Liaison, will provide an overview of The World Bank's Enterprise Outreach Service (EOS) team and mission to strengthen the World Bank Group's relationship with the private sector in order to increase the awareness and participation of companies in development. Mr. Bozek will discuss projects and contracting for geospatial and engineering services.
The presentations will focus on market opportunities available to U.S.-based firms to export their services and capabilities through contracts with Federal agencies and U.S-supported institutions.
"Working with familiar agencies that contract for work can ease the burden on firms entering the global market," said Brian Raber, Program Chair (Merrick & Company). "This strong panel of agency representatives will provide insight into opportunities for geospatial and engineering firms to partner with government agencies and understand how projects are financed and procured for exporting U.S. services to complete the agencies missions."
Engineering and geospatial professionals responsible for and interested in contracting opportunities outside the boarders should attend this conference.
Early rate for conference registration is available now. The hotel reservation deadline is October 22.
Program information, registration and hotel information is available at www.geointernational.org.
About the Conference
The conference is designed for geospatial and engineering professionals with a focus on private sector entry into international commerce for professional services. The two-day conference will provide a forum for education, business development, and networking.
The conference is being organized by MAPPS, the national association for private sector geospatial firms. Supporting organizations include Association of American Geographers (AAG), American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS), Construction Industry Round Table (CIRT), Global Spatial Data Infrastructure Association (GSDI), National Society of Professional Surveyors (NSPS), and the Urban and Regional Information Systems Association (URISA).

The Former President of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama has expressed worry over the fact that Ghanaians are gradually tired of politicians and as a result, it is breeding mistrust.
According to him, there is the growing perception that politicians will always lie to pave their way to power and not think about the repercussions.
This he noted is a worrying trend and very detrimental to Ghana’s democracy.
The former President made this known when he was addressing the Chiefs and people of Wa Traditional area.
He indicated that unlike others, the NDC stands unique in its politics because they stick to the issues and spell out the truth because they do not take the people for granted.
“We have been practicing this democracy since 1992 and Ghanaians have become very discerning. They are not people that you can take for granted or take for a ride.”
“Any party that comes with the notion that it can promise heaven just to win power will be very disappointed on the day of the election because the results will reject those false promises. NDC is a party that takes truth and honesty seriously. We promise only what we can deliver.”

First US install of Hidex Q-ARE 100
5 March 2020
FDA chooses the Hidex Q-ARE for enhanced speed and safety when running numerous Eichrom columns
The advanced Hidex Q-ARE system has been installed at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) WEAC site as part of the FERN initiative.
In an emergency response, the traditional gravity method or vacuum method is ineffective due to the time-consuming process of loading Eichrom columns.
With the Hidex Q-ARE, the process is automated and removes all elements of manual operation - saving hours in time-critical situations.
You can load eight samples, hit start, and come back in less than one hour.

4 Major Blocks To Your Manifestation Power
Last Updated on
Manifestation is a skill that is easy to learn but hard to master. A lot of people get overzealous when they are starting to manifest and practice the law of attraction but end up burning out quickly. Manifestation should feel easy and natural. You are always manifesting your reality because the Universe is always responding to the energy and vibes you send out regardless of whether you are aware of it or not. When you learn how to align with the loving energy of the Universe, there are no limits to what you can attract. Keep reading below to learn the 4 Major Blocks To Your Manifestation Power.
4 Major Blocks To Your Manifestation Power
The Manic Manifestor is someone who is super invested in the “doing” of manifestation. They spend their day reciting positive affirmations, intentions, prayers and they are hyperfocused on manifesting a specific outcome. They forget that energy is what attracts. The energy they send out is needy and frantic which is totally out of alignment with the Universe. Remember that the Universe is always responding to the energy you send out. So when you send out manic thoughts, you’ll receive manic outcomes.
Pushy Manifactestors are overachievers. They believe that if they are not overworking, then abundance and success will not flow to them. They are under the limiting belief that the harder they push, the more they’ll achieve. But when they are pushing their agenda so hard, they create resistance by not allowing Universal guidance to come through.
We are constantly plagued by fear, this is especially true in 2020 with the global pandemic and protests around the world. We live in a fear-based world so it’s easy to fall victim to the nasty grip of fear. Fear-based thoughts take us out of alignment with the Universe and block us from our attracting power. Instead of celebrating all the good in our lives, fear causes us to be stuck in a negative loop of focusing on all the things that are going wrong.
Judgmental Manifestors are someone who harbors judgment against others or themselves. Judgment can come in many forms including jealousy, envy, and general negative thoughts. When we judge others, we not only create separation from other people and we also create separation from our true nature which is love. When we are in a state of judgment, we directly block guidance from the Universe which affects our abilities to manifest.
How To Unblock Your Manifesting Power
You are doing all the right things, so you just simply need to let go and allow. Shift the energy from frantic and manic to a place of trust and belief. Reframe your affirmation to one that is built around spiritual surrender like “Thank you Universe, I am ready to step back and let you take the lead.”
Manifestation is all about energy and whether you are feeling good or not. Make it a priority to do less and receive more. Learn to trust that the Universe’s plan will always exceed your own plans and the Universe is always conspiring to lead you to the highest good.
Stop the negative downward spiral by acknowledging your fear-based thoughts. Forgive yourself for having negative thoughts and honor your desire to shift back to love. Gently diffuse your fear by proactively reaching for better feeling thoughts using Abraham Hicks’ Emotional Guidance Scale.
Witness your judgment without judgment. Do not be hard on yourself for judging, instead celebrate your willingness to shift your energy back to alignment with your true love nature. The best way to get rid of judgmental thoughts is to want for others what you want for yourself. There is plenty to go around and remember that someone else’s success doesn’t make you a failure. You manifest abundance when you celebrate other people’s success and use the light to inspire your own.

Happy New Year — all change!
Mike Nankivell, marketing director of UK Daikin distributor Space Airconditioning, discusses the implications of changes in F Gas regulations.
Changes being introduced by the new F Gas Regulation (EU) No 517/2014, which replaces EC No 842/2006, will have a major impact on refrigerant producers and suppliers, the wider refrigeration (including certain refrigerated transport and trailers), air-conditioning and heat-pump sectors — including manufacturers, distributors, installers and end users.
Many of the provisions of the new regulation come into force in the UK on 1 January 2015.
It has always been important for Space Air to have a good working knowledge of the impact that the F Gas Regulation is likely to have — immediately and in the longer term. We need to be aware as alternatives to or low-GWP HFCs or F Gases are developed for use in the air-conditioning and heat-pump products we distribute on behalf of Daikin Europe. This is not only for internal purposes but also to ensure that we can provide our customers with accurate and timely information.
A potentially significant and immediate change and cost for end users/property operators will, in many cases, be the need to install automatic leak-detection devices for systems based on a revised CO2-equivalent refrigerant charge as opposed to weight. This requirement now varies according to the GWP of the refrigerant and will particularly implicate existing commercial refrigeration systems and those using refrigerants with a GWP greater than 2500.
Service and maintenance companies are best placed to advise their end-user clients where this requirement represents a new legal obligation.
Similarly service and maintenance contractors will need to determine and advise their customers of the frequency of mandatory leak-check requirements. The threshold levels for leak checking of systems also vary according to the GWP of the refrigerant used and the tonnes of CO2 equivalent refrigerant in the circuit.
There is a payback for the end user in complying with these new requirements. The active prevention of refrigerant leaks not only reduces the environmental impact but also results in optimised operating efficiencies and reduced running costs.
As distributors of air-conditioning and heat-pump products, we have an immediate obligation to obtain evidence that pre-charged equipment will be installed by an F Gas certified company or qualified individual — but we have already operated controls on this for several years.
Looking ahead to use bans that have some impact on technologies we support and come into effect in between 2020 and 2025, whilst we can reassure clients of the long-term viability of systems that use HFC refrigerants, we are preparing for the introduction of new products/refrigerants designed to replace those being banned. We will also revise some of our publications and advertising and continue providing guidance and information to our customers.
New reporting and record-keeping requirements will serve to inform the European Commission of F Gas movements and demand for future reviews going forward, so these form a critical element of the new regulation.

Boyette Lenell Pritchard of Chalmette, Louisiana passed away on Saturday, July 25, 2020 at the age of 87. Boyette was born in Tangipahoa, Louisiana on August 3, 1932 to Elmer Pritchard and Merlie Gill. A native of Kentwood, Louisiana, he graduated from Spring Creek High School. During the Korean War, he proudly served as a cook in the Air Force. Boyette retired from Kaiser Aluminum as a crane operator. Boyette enjoyed his retirement to the fullest, spending time with family and friends. He loved life and all the joy it brought. His two favorite pastimes included sitting in his chair and people watching and planning outings, which always included a meal, for anyone willing to go along. Boyette never met a stranger, loved conversation, and always wanted visitors to stay just a bit longer. His big smile and mischievous teasing will be dearly missed by all that knew him. Boyette was preceded in death by his wife Marguerite Mansour Pritchard; his parents Elmer and Merlie; and a son David L. Pritchard. Boyette is survived by a son Boyette Michael Pritchard (Stephanie); three grandchildren, Brett Pritchard, Arianna Hebert-Reed (Chris), and Brandyn Pritchard; three great-grandchildren, Tanner, Killian, and Po'Boy; and the LeBlanc family Adrian, Jean, Candace, Paige (Carl), Parker (Robyn), Adalyn, Adrian IV, and Abram. Boyette will be laid to rest in a private service, officiated by Bro. Timothy Mims, at Pine Grove Cemetery in Picayune, Mississippi. A Celebration of Life for extended family and friends will be held at a later date. The family wishes to extend their heartfelt thanks to the nurses and staff at Heritage Manor of Slidell and St. Catherine's Hospice for their support and care in his final days. Memories and condolences may be expressed at www.AudubonFuneralHome.com.

Yeezy gets a arrow-shaped trim.
Kanye West and his wife Kim Kardashian we’re both seen shopping in Sydney today in the inner city, exploring the most exclusive boutiques. Kanye West, dressed in his every day-to-day clean simplistic staples, put a shock to all with his latest hair cut. Kanye got a symmetrical arrow pattern shaved across the slides of his shape up, which we at PAUSE haven’t seen him do before. With a new fresh look, it is clear to say that Kanye West is brave to try new things, and this change is definitely a one-to-watch.
What do you think of his new look? Leave your opinions by voting below:

Despite their abundance and ecological importance in a wide variety of shallow and deep water marine communities, octocorals (soft corals, sea fans, and sea pens) are a group whose taxonomy and phylogenetic relationships remain poorly known and little studied. The group is currently divided into three orders (O: Alcyonacea, Pennatulacea, and Helioporacea); the large O. Alcyonacea (soft corals and sea fans) is further subdivided into six sub-ordinal groups on the basis of skeletal composition and colony growth form. We used 1429bp of two mitochondrial protein-coding genes, ND2 and msh1, to construct a phylogeny for 103 octocoral genera representing 28 families. In agreement with a previous 18S rDNA phylogeny, our results support a division of Octocorallia into two major clades plus a third, minor clade. We found one large clade (Holaxonia-Alcyoniina) comprising the sea fan sub-order Holaxonia and the majority of soft corals, and a second clade (Calcaxonia-Pennatulacea) comprising sea pens (O. Pennatulacea) and the sea fan sub-order Calcaxonia. Taxa belonging to the sea fan group Scleraxonia and the soft coral family Alcyoniidae were divided among the Holaxonia-Alcyoniina clade and a third, small clade (Anthomastus-Corallium) whose relationship to the two major clades was unresolved. In contrast to the previous studies, we found sea pens to be monophyletic but nested within Calcaxonia; our analyses support the sea fan family Ellisellidae as the sister taxon to the sea pens. We are unable to reject the hypothesis that the calcaxonian and holaxonian skeletal axes each arose once and suggest that the skeletal axis of sea pens is derived from that of Calcaxonia. Topology tests rejected the monophyly of sub-ordinal groups Alcyoniina, Scleraxonia, and Stolonifera, as well as 9 of 14 families for which we sampled multiple genera. The much broader taxon sampling and better phylogenetic resolution afforded by our study relative to the previous efforts greatly clarify the relationships among families and sub-ordinal groups within each of the major clades. The failure of these mitochondrial genes as well as previous 18S rDNA studies to resolve many of the deeper nodes within the tree (including its root) suggest that octocorals underwent a rapid radiation and that large amounts of sequence data will be required in order to resolve the basal relationships within the clade.

In light of being on the academic job market this year, I was amused to get the following mailing from the local branch of Globe University. (Even though the mailing was addressed to me, it was also addressed to “Or Current Resident.”)
The message is quite simple: graduates of this university get jobs. The mailing advertises that 100% of graduates with a bachelor’s degree in business administration get employment, although the fine print does mention that “employment is not guaranteed.” However, not much can be said about the graduation rates of students attending any of the Globe campuses, both because very few students attending Globe are first-time, full-time students (which are the only students counted in federal graduation rate calculations) and because many campuses (including Madison) have not been open long enough to have a graduation rate cohort.
To get an idea of graduation rates, I looked at the oldest Globe campus, in Brooklyn Center, MN. The reported graduation rate is 23%, with an overall career placement rate of 72%. Meanwhile, tuition is over $5,000 per quarter before mandatory course fees. I’m not saying that Globe University is a bad bet for students, but some students are likely to benefit more by attending the local technical college.
Moral of the story: Don’t believe colleges which imply that everyone gets a job. This isn’t even true at the most prestigious colleges, let alone for relatively unknown for-profit institutions. (Now, I do hope that my UW-Madison PhD helps me get a great job!)

Bloodroot is an herbaceous perennial that grows from a persistent, branched underground stem or rhizome. Early each spring, while the forest canopy is still bare, each well-developed rhizome tip produces one leaf and one flower stalk. The leaf is kidney-shaped in its overall outline, but it is also divided into a pattern of rounded lobes and sinuses, rendering a complex overall shape. At flowering time, bloodroot leaves form a loose vertically-oriented collar around the flower stalk with the bluish-green lower leaf surface forming the outside of the collar; as the season progresses, the leaves open flat and expand to their full size, which commonly ranges from six to eight inches across, and held about a foot above the ground, but leaves can become larger in favorable locations.

“Money finds men friends
and honor too, and, at the last,
the seat of power nearest heaven.
No one, truly, is an enemy to money;
Anyone who is denies his hatred.
Wealth is skilled at creeping into places
High and low, places where a poor man,
Even if he enters, cannot get what he wants.
A body that is malformed, wealth makes attractive;
A senseless man, wealth makes wise.”
“His accuser claimed that he selected the most wretched lines from the most famous poets and used them as proofs to teach his followers to be evildoers and tyrants. He is said to have used the line from Hesiod “there is nothing reproachable about work, but laziness is reproachable” (WD 311) to claim that the poet exhorted not to refrain from any work, unjust or shameful, but to do everything for profit.
Socrates, although he might agree that it is good and useful for a man to be a worker and harmful and bad for him to be lazy—that work is good and laziness is bad—he used to say that being a worker required people to do something good. Gambling or any other immortal occupation which takes from others he used to call laziness. Within these parameters, Hesiod’s claim that “there is nothing reproachable about work, but laziness is reproachable” holds true.
“Critoboulos, Some say that whenever the great king gives gifts, he calls in first those who proved their excellence at war because there is no advantage to plowing many fields unless they defend them. After them, he rewards those who prepare and work the land best, because brave men cannot survive unless someone works the land.”
“Let no one find fault with this line because wealth is made to be much praised ahead of virtue. Know that wealth here is the product workers get from their labors—it is a just portion gathered from their personal toil.”
“No mortal could rival me in work:
No one could best me at building a fire or heaping dry wood,
At serving at the table, cooking meat or serving wine–
All those tasks lesser men complete for their betters.”
“Eurymachus: I wish the two of us could have a labor-contest
In the height of spring when the days are drawing longer,
In the thickening grass. I would grip the curved scythe
And you could hold the same thing, so we could test each other
At work, fasting right up to dusk where the grass was thick.
And then the next day we could drive the oxen, the strongest ones,
Bright and large, both stuffed full with their food,
A pair of the same age, equally burdened, their strength unwavering.
I’d wish for a four-acre parcel to put under the plow.
Then you’d see me, how I would cut a furrow straight from end to end.
Or if, instead, Kronos’ son would send me a war today,
And I would have a shield and two spears
Matched with a bronze helmet well-fit to my temples.
Then you’d see me mixing it up in the front lines
And you wouldn’t bawl about, belittling my hungry stomach.”
Why read Homer if the world is coming to an end? Why teach Homer if the Homeric epics have been instrumentalized as part of colonialism and white supremacy? These are not idle questions. They are the questions that need to be answered if the discipline of Classics to continue in any form at all.
I expressed some of these views early on and was, again rightly, criticized for inserting such navel gazing was taking space away from BIPOC classicists. In the meantime, I have been thinking and working at my own institution (virtually) with Homer always somewhere near. There will never be a time when my voice, embodied as it is in the privilege and experience I bring with me, does not drown out others. I feel a responsibility to think about this and use the space I have to advocate for the change I can. As a Homerist, even if I am not one of great renown, I think it is my duty to think and write critically about my field and to help make space for others.
Why read Homer? I think I made clear some feelings about why reading Homer badly is counterproductive. This may be a surprise, but I do think there is a good reason to read Homer. First, let us get through the reasons people typical give I find disagreeable. I have listed them in my opinion of silliest to most serious. Let me be clear: I think that there is some truth and utility to each of these, but there are challenges too.
Entertainment: The epics are good stories! This argument is related in part to the aesthetics of literature (although the pleasure of a good yarn is different from the aesthetics I talk about below). Sure, the epics can be riveting, but there are parts that even seasoned readers can find challenging: for example Iliad 13-15, Odyssey 2-4 and 12-16. I suspect that many people who make this argument have not had the challenge of leading students through a whole epic from beginning to end. I also think that many people who make this argument may have not read the epics in their entirety. (P.S. it is perfectly ok to read excerpts).
Homer is historical: I just can’t get on this train. The Homeric epics are no more historical than Arthurian legend. They can give us ideas about the values of the historical peoples who formed their audiences, but even this is not simple: which version of Homer and which audiences at which time radically challenge anything we can say. My favorite formulation about what Homer is vis a vis history belongs to Hans Van Wees who calls the Iliad a “fantasy of the past” (Status Warriors, 1992). Anyone reading this who believes there was an actual Trojan War in some way corresponding to the events of our Iliad will be sorely disappointed by my stance.
As far as I can see it, from Heinrich Schliemann’s excavations to more recent excitement about Hittite names, the importance placed on historical correspondence is almost entirely due to the interest and enthusiasm of the interpreter who desires to make a positivistic identification between some mythical past and material remains. This is not to say that the Homeric epics can’t be useful in talking about the past, but that they have been used almost exclusively to see Ancient Greece in a particular way and have been an obstacle for this reason. Trevor Bryce’s work (e.g. “The Trojan War: Is There Truth behind the Legend? “Near Eastern Archaeology 2002, 65: 182-195) has marshaled a lot of the evidence, concluding in part that even if there is some historical ‘truth’, the creative work of the poems far exceeds and surpasses it (and Bryce is one who relies on the idea of a genius poet). Anyone familiar with the fine work of H. L. Lorimer a half century earlier would reach a similar, even bleaker confusion (Homer and the Monuments, 1950).
“I am not contending for the morality of Homer; on the contrary, I think it a book of false glory, tending to inspire immoral and mischievous notions of honor” Thomas Paine
“It was most excellently set down that a student’s reading should begin with Homer and Vergil, even though one needs a firmer judgment for understanding the virtues of those poets, for there will be time to develop it, since they will not be read just once” Quintilian
Noble Values: Read Homer for the heroes? They are a bunch of amoral shitbags. Perhaps we can learn by reading Homer that oftentimes the people in positions of power are there because they are in it for themselves and they don’t care if all of their people perish. Read the epics: Agamemnon, Achilles, Hektor, Paris, Odysseus all make choices that increase the death toll of their people without increasing their chance of success. One of the real strengths of epic is what I will call below its indeterminacy. The problem with texts of indeterminant meaning is that audiences will disambiguate complexity and choose to take away simply recognizable or facile lessons.
In one of our most famous early responses to myth and Homeric poetry, Plato has his Socrates banish tales of civil strife, children punishing parents, and gods warring with one another. Such tales, Socrates continues, “should not be allowed into the state, even if they were composed with secret meeting or without secret meaning. For a young person is incapable of judging what is allegorical meaning and what is not, but whatever opinions they take up during their young are hard to rinse off and tend to become unchangeable (ὅσας Ὅμηρος πεποίηκεν οὐ παραδεκτέον εἰς τὴν πόλιν, οὔτ’ ἐν ὑπονοίαις πεποιημένας οὔτε ἄνευ ὑπονοιῶν. Ὁ γὰρ νέος οὐχ οἷός τε κρίνειν ὅτι τε ὑπόνοια καὶ ὃ μή, ἀλλ’ ἃ ἂν τηλικοῦτος ὢν λάβῃ ἐν ταῖς δόξαις δυσέκνιπτά τε καὶ ἀμετάστατα φιλεῖ γίγνεσθαι, Republic 378d-e).
Any sense of this passage must take the purpose of the Republic into consideration: Socrates apostrophizes Homer and asks, “What city was governed better thanks to you?” (λέγε ἡμῖν τίς τῶν πόλεων διὰ σὲ βέλτιον ᾤκησεν, 599e). For the Republic’s Socrates, Homer cannot provide instruction for governing a city any more than he can instill proper morals and opinions in individuals. But this is because, according to Plato, people don’t understand Homeric hyponoia, literally something like “sub-meaning, under-meaning, secret meaning”, translated cleverly in the most recent Loeb edition as simply “deeper meaning” (replacing the older allegorical).
Even today, we often find people claiming that reading the epic can give readers good values. Homer can teach you to be loyal, manly, brave, etc.! The problem with literary exemplification like this is that good examples come with counter-examples and it is often hard to tell the difference. Further, any praising of Homeric epics for positive values needs to acknowledge that they are filled with horror and danger too from Agamemnon’s greed to Odysseus’ murderous vengeance. (In addition, this does not even include the deep structural problems of gender and class.) This is at best a naïve approach to literature: most readers project values onto a text and select what they want to see (or what they avidly don’t want to see). As with most of these points, this argument suffers from a limited sense of what ‘reading’ is and how it works.
i would say homer doesn't "teach" noble values, but instead illustrates moral ruin
The noble values also work the other way. Many have been justifiably moved by Simone Weil’s The Iliad, or The Poem of Force, written in Nazi-occupied France. She reads the poem with “force” as the “true subject” and moves that the Iliad may be a “historical document” illustrating “force….at the very center of human history, the Iliad is the purest and the loveliest of mirrors.” Perhaps, intentionally or not, Weil channels Aristotle’s attribution in the Rhetoric that “Alcidamas called the Odyssey a fine mirror for human life”. I do not disagree with Weil about Homer—indeed; this influential essay has done more to show Homer’s depth than much of Homeric scholarship. Nevertheless, I do think that Weil’s context and experience trained her gaze in a particular way. See this passage from the end of the essay:
While I almost giddily agree with Weil’s sentiment on Vergil, I think her take on the Odyssey is less generous and shaped by her identity and the moment of writing. How much sense can an epic of return, survival, and renewed life make when German tanks are rolling down your city’s streets? In a way, Weil’s comments on the Iliad as a mirror for human life also reflect how interpretation works. The way we read a work is a reflection of who we are and what we bring to it.
In the smartest thing in all the Star Wars movies (ok, maybe the only smart thing), the Empire Strikes Backbrings us a Luke Skywalker in training, lured into a cave on Dagobah where Yoda tells him the tree is “strong with the dark side of the Force. A servant of evil it is. Into it you must go”. To Luke’s question, “what’s in there”, the Jedi Master responds, “Only what you take with you.” The subsequent scene has Luke taking his light saber in with him and facing an ersatz Darth Vader who turns out to be….himself.
The Homeric poems are powerful shapers of perception, but in the end, they contain so much that we come away from them with very different notions of the poem. The Iliad is about force, but it is also about scarcity, anger, desire, love, loyalty and how people value one another. Moreover, it is a prolonged contemplation on when we choose to use force as opposed to when we have to. To pull one melody out of a multi-day symphony is to block out the majority of the composition as mere sound. We each hear our own Iliad and even these changes over time.
“You want a horse race? There is a fine one in Homer. Go get your book and read through it. You hear them talking about dancing pantomimes? Forget them! The children dance in a more manly way among the Phaiakians. You have there the citharist Phemios and the singer Demodokos. There are plants in Homer which are more delightful to hear of than to see.” Julian
Now, as someone thoroughly drawn to Epicurus, I cannot say that aesthetics and pleasure are not important, but that that they are symptomatic of both effective works and those that appeal to our weaknesses. There is a circuitous and replicative process in the aesthetic process that enforces traditional normative ideals and dis-incentivizes meaningful change. Therefore, when people say they love the beauty of Homer, I worry that they are selecting and privileging parts of Homer that have been culturally marked as attractive and have shaped their expectations for literature.
“Our poets steal from Homer; he spews, saith Aelian, they lick it up,” Robert Burton
Canon: Advocates often imagine that the strongest argument for Homer is that Homer was influential in the “Western Canon” and that you need to be familiar with Homer to appreciate and understand everything that came after. I think that this argument sounds nice, but it overstates the existence of the “Western Canon” (which is relatively recent), ignores the motivations for enforcing it, and radically misunderstands the impact of Homeric epic in the development of European literatures. If one is studying the history of ideas (especially the history of the idea of literature and canons) this “argument” is a good question as a starting point (I.e., how influential was Homer actually on European literatures?) but it is deeply insufficient for building a curriculum.
It is not that Homer was not and has not been important, but that the idea of Homer was far more influential than the epics in their entirety. For most of the history of the reception of the epics, they were read in summary or in part. For most of the history of education in the west, they would be mined for rhetorical excerpts. I think that relatively few readers in the ancient world had access to full texts and that when people talk about Homer in the ancient world we are really mostly talking about the sum total influence of Trojan War narratives and Greek myth on the development of culture and literature. In this category, a myth handbook like that of Apollodorus or Hyginus or the epics of Ovid and Vergil have been much more directly influential on later authors and tradition. The fact is, outside of the Byzantine Empire, Homer was not read that much in Northern and Western Europe prior to German Philhellenism, a period in which Northern philologists did everything they could to try to discredit, ignore, and de-center continuity and authority in Greek culture.
And the true bards have been noted for their firm and cheerful temper. Homer lies in sunshine; Chaucer is glad and erect; and Saadi says, ‘It was rumored abroad that I was penitent; but what had I to do with repentance?’ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Universalism: I will not easily dismiss the assertion that the Homeric epics reflect and advance essential ‘truths’ or visions about what it means to be human. I do have structural and intellectual quibbles with this approach, however. First, I wonder about the universal humanistic appeal of a text that denies full humanity to a majority of the human race (all those who are not aristocratic men). This leads into my deeper concern, namely that appeals to universalism can appeal easily to observer effects and selection bias. Whose view of humanity is assumed universal in this approach? Who counts as human in the world projected and received?
Further, I think that universalism assumes a unitary or singular point of view. If this argument is that the Homeric texts are polyvalent and reflect the pluralism of human experience in a multicultural and changing environment, then I can agree. Nevertheless, I think that this is not what people mean. Instead, universalism is too often a series of general bromides ignoring detail and saying more about the interests and assumptions of the interpreter than anything about the text.
“What is lacking in Homer, that we should not consider him to be the wisest man in every kind of wisdom? Some people claim that his poetry is a complete education for life, equally divided between times of war and peace.” Leonardo Bruni
Homer is unique and different! This assertion introduces some inextricable problems about defining difference. In some forms, I find this argument somewhat convincing but probably not in the same way that many others do. I think that the polyvocal, oral-derived, multilocal background of the Homeric epics renders their tone, perspective, language, and impact both quantitatively and qualitatively different from anything I have ever read. The problem with this approach is that it tends to be teleological: ‘Homer’ is positioned as a unitary and foundational genius whose DNA has spread majestically throughout the artwork of later generations.
The difference between what we actually have in the Homeric epics and what we find in later generations can help us unlearn what we think we know about literary traditions. This argument makes me nervous in general because it runs the risk of merely repeating the damaging “Greek Miracle” nonsense. But it is also an argumentum ex silentio. I don’t know that other works we lost were any less unique and different.
I think we are also conditioned by the tradition and our received aesthetics to see unique difference here only and not to look for it or see it in traditional poetry elsewhere, the epics of India, the philosophy and poetry of China and oral traditions in the Middle East and Africa. Instead, what I want to emphasize is that the Homeric epics developed through and because of the Rationalizing Revolution and contributed to it in turn. I will return to this more below, but my point is that history and cultural context were formative in the epics’ development. And, in turn, they contributed to a shifting in the cultures that hosted them.
While I don’t agree with all he says about Homer, Adam Nicolson puts it well when he summarized Homer as “Multiple in origins, multiple in manner and multiple in meaning, Homer in this light both knows the deep past and moves beyond it (2014, Why Homer Matters).
“With the single exception of Homer, there is no eminent writer, not even Sir Walter Scott, whom I can despise so entirely as I despise Shakespeare when I measure my mind against his.” George Bernard Shaw
Why read Homer? 1: Homer is Multivocal and Multicultural
The biggest problem with what most people say about Homer is that it is based on a ‘modern’ view of Homer that projects upon the past post-Christian and post-Renaissance notions of authorship, genius, and identity on a past tradition. This is probably not the best place and time to talk about what Homer is, but it is worth a few sentences to say what Homer isn’t.
The poems we have, moreover, reached the shapes we have during a period when the people who told their stories were engaged with the local pluri-vocality of their own amalgam culture and the multicultural influence of the migratory and trade routes of the eastern Mediterranean. The ritual, religious, linguistic, narrative, and artistic traditions of Archaic Greece were indisputably influence by Ancient Africa (including but not exclusively Egypt) and the Ancient Near East. They were also likely influenced by innumerable lost stories and languages of cultures from around the Mediterranean who stories have been lost to time.
In addition, the epics came much closer to the form we have them during the period we call the ‘Rationalizing Revolution’ which was defined by philosophers/scientists coming from the Greek states of Asia Minor and moving west under political pressure (Persian expansion?). It was no accident that these thinkers hailed for so long as originating geniuses came out of cosmopolitan, multicultural cities: where do we think they got their ideas from?
We too often treat Homer as being suddenly ex novo and sui generis. Instead, the Homeric epics we have come at the end of a long process of differentiation and integration. They are unique insofar as they were uniquely successful in surviving the past. Accepting them as standard is falling into the trap epic sets for us: part of epic style is to assume its own supremacy and superiority. We know from mythography, that Homeric detail is often out there on its own and in service of its own ends. (Elton Barker and I talk a lot about this and how to interpret Homer in our recent Homer’s Thebes.)
“If the works of Homer are, to letters and to human learning, what the early books of Scripture are to the entire Bible and to the spiritual life of man; if in them lie the beginnings of the intellectual life of the world, then we must still recollect that that life, to be rightly understood, should be studied in its beginnings. There we may see in simple forms what afterwards grew complex, and in clear light what afterwards became obscure; and there we obtain starting-points, from which to measure progress and decay along all the lines upon which our nature moves.” William Gladstone
Why Read Homer 2: Transformation
There’s a lot more to say and there’s not a Homerist alive who won’t take issue with the way I have framed some of this. The real reason I think people should read Homer is that the process of doing so—especially with other people—is transformative. How and why this transformation happens is a little involved, so I am about to get really annoying. But, to put it simply, Homeric epic refuses to give its audiences simple answers and forces us to think deeply, if we do it right.
Again, to Nicolson: he concludes that Homer matters…”because Homer…understands what mortals do not….That is his value a reservoir of understanding beyond the grief and turbulence of a universe in which there is no final authority” (2014, 244). I think that this is partly right, that the epics hold out the Siren call of knowledge, but that there is something much more important here. Homer offers up a mirror to life for us to inspect but it is a fragmented funhouse mirror in a nightmare.
We get partial pieces of information about greatness and loss about nobility and ugliness and are repeatedly told nothing about which paths we should choose. Again, Nicolson is right that Homer “provides no answers” but his closing recourse to poetic rhetorical questions misses the opportunity to articulate the significance both of why Homer provides no answers and of how the origins of Homeric poetry make it necessary for the poems to be this way. The Homeric epics are dialogic and aporetic and in these functions they teach us not what to do but how to think about what we do as communities.
Before I talk about the poems as dialogues and proto-philosophical experiences leading to states of aporia, let me just return to their origins for a moment. I think that the sophisticated, even therapeutic nature, of the poems is likely a historical accident of the demands of the performance context rather than some testament to the genius of the poems. In this, I do not deny the impression of genius or the magnitude of these epics’ monumental impact over time, but rather that their character was a product of environment rather than intention (an argument for a different space, I believe).
Homeric poetry is what others have already called dialogic, as Anna Bonifazi describes dialogism, following Mikhail Bakhtin’s analysis, is when texts show a “a multiplicity and stratification of voices” or, to use Bakhtin’s words, a “plurality of consciousnesses” (Bakhtin 1984:81). Homeric poetry, as Egbert Bakker has described it is intensely dialogic because of its development over time in multiple contexts and for multiple audiences over time (2006b). In addition, some of my favorite modern scholars who write on Homer like John Peradotto (who also calls it heteroglossia, 1990, 53-58) foreground the multiplicity of meanings that emerge from dialogism. This is part of what makes Homeric poetry feels different: it channels untold numbers of voices for an equally unknown number of ears.
Such characteristics make it necessary that Homeric poetry will show empathy and understanding to multiple perspectives while refusing to take sides or give clear answers. Earlier literary theorists like William Empson struggled to describe the power of ambiguity or what someone else might call indeterminacy as the most potent of poetic forces. Whereas modern theorists debate the source of indeterminacy in reception or creation (i.e. is it authorially intended or created in reader response), Homeric indeterminacy is part of the poetic tradition from the level of utterance all the way through structure.
Now, I just mixed and rendered equivalent three terms that many literary theorists would prefer to keep separate: dialogism, the quality of multivocality in a text; ambiguity, when a text can have multiple meanings at once; and indeterminacy, when multiplicity of meaning cannot be disambiguated even to certain options. Rather than seeing these descriptions as overlapping, I think they help to identify different ways in which the multiplicity of Homeric meaning can translate into polysemy, multiple meanings at different times and for different audiences. As with the example of Simone Weil above, we bring our own experiences and eras to bear on the epics; but we as interpreters can also change while reading, because of reading, or over time when we return to a poem with new life experience.
In addition, the multi-vocal nature of the epics helps us to understand that despite their structural misogyny, classism, and latent justification for slavery, they still offer moments of deep empathy and understanding for those out of power: Andromache’s speeches about her son; similes about men struggling over scarce land; the almost lost image of the mill-working enslaved woman, desperate and exhausted. Eumaios is apostrophized by the narrator to a similar effect—just as the Homeric epics stand apart from most other war narratives in expecting their audiences to see the shared humanity of the Trojans, so too are they deeply sensitive to different positions in life.
The danger of this is its very intoxication, however. Andromache’s lamentations distract from the silence of all the other Trojan women; Eumaios’ valorization obscures his suffering and total surrender of agency; and the mill-woman’s prayer recenters Odysseus’ vengeance and leaves us wondering if despite all her trials, she still might be one of the women brutally hanged after cleaning up their dead lovers’ corpses.
But the different types of polysemy I mention above also help to produce what I think is one of the most important functions of Homeric poetry, the creation of aporia. Most people who know what aporia is will associate it with the early Platonic dialogues. Aporia—literally, “pathlessness”—is that state reached after the end of a dialogue like the Lysis when Socrates announces that despite their philosophical turnings they still do not know what friendship is. Such a moment emphasizes process over product and directs the audience to go back to the beginning and think the whole thing through again.
Homeric epic, like Platonic dialogue, invites its audiences to follow the folly and success of its characters and then to retrace them, to come to a deeper understanding of the conditions that put them in the position to fail. For Platonic dialogue, Laura Candiotto (2015) has argued that the state of aporia itself is transformative, that it forces us to “imagine an otherness” (242) but that this process requires shared or collective emotional and intellectual work. The shared work of interpreting epic with its characters is a kind of extended mind over time. When we read them and discuss them with others, we engage in the transformative process of creating community around the interrogation of the self.
Now, I would be so bold as to say that this last step is possible with many different kinds of art and narrative traditions—the importance of community and group minds in interpretation and the creation of meaning is almost always underappreciated, especially in an aesthetic paradigm that privileges the author as a divine creator and prizes some interpreters as having exclusive access to that providential mind. What makes Homer different from reading Game of Thrones together or spending semesters contemplating Marcel Proust’s associative sense of smell is the depth of interpretive traditions to add to the complexity of the community of meaning and the nature of epic poetry itself. Homeric ambiguity, interdeterminacy, and dialogism provide a capaciousness of time rare in any art form and the essential, irrefutable absence of the author provides the opportunity to think and rethink without that devils’ trap of authorial intention.
The act of judgment is central to epic poetry from lexical through thematic levels. Homeric poetry provides many clues that it privileges the act of interpretation over all else. In addition to the stories, omens, and similes left unexplained throughout both epics, the Iliad presents a fascinating study on the surface of Achilles’ shield:
Homer Il. 18.496-508
“The people where gathered, crowded, in the assembly where a conflict (neîkos)
had arisen: two men were striving over the penalty for
a man who had been killed; the first one was promising to give everything
as he was testifying to the people; but the other was refusing to take anything;
and both men longed for a judge to make a decision.
The people, partisans on either side, applauded.
Then the heralds brought the host together; the elders
sat on smooth stones in a sacred circle
as they held in their hands the scepters of clear-voiced heralds;
each one was leaping to his feet and they pronounced judgments in turn.
In the middle there were two talents of gold to give
to whoever among them uttered the straightest judgment.”
Here, we find two parties arguing over an act of interpretation. The reward set out for either side does not go to the combatants but to the interpreters themselves: there is a prize dedicated to whoever can present the most just judgment for the aggrieved parties. The frozen moment of the shield, however, can no more resolve what the best judgement is any more than the poem can decisively tell us to prefer Agamemnon over Achilles in book 1 or whether the suitors’ families were ultimately better off in not trying to kill Odysseus in the final book of his epic. (And there are historical parallels from the Ancient Greek world for privileging judges and interpretation from West Lokris and Chios). The shield anticipates a world of conflict and judgment where people use their intelligence and their shared community to navigate their challenges through interpretation and deliberation.
Why Read Homer 3: Allegory
If I dismissed traditions of reading Homer earlier, I did so because the way we read Homer in schools—for facts of the story, for models to apply to later texts, for pleasure—is a recent departure from ancient traditions that beyond the moralizing of Plato saw in the Homeric epics opportunities for enlightenment. And, again, I apologize for the likely alienating tour through some theoretical terms and bibliographies above, but my journey to these conclusions has come from despising Homer in high school to dedicating now half of my life to figure out why I respond so deeply to Homer in Greek.
As Robert Lamberton argues in his 1986 Homer the Theologian complexity and opacity of meaning were assumed by ancient audiences and critics. Before Plato took on Homer by taking him out of the Republic, Pythagoreans saw allegory for the body and soul in the Iliad and Odyssey and contributed to interpretive traditions that extended well into the Christian era.
Our literalist and formalist approaches hail back to the scholarly pursuits of Alexandrians (and Hellenistic philologists) who worked in establish authoritative texts. Their insistence on establishing authority stood opposed by the later “Porphyry’s assertion of the existence of numerous valid possibilities in the interpretation of a single text ”…which was by no means evidence of a lack of clearly defined principles of interpretation, but rather a logical consequence of Neoplatonic psychology and epistemology” (Lamberton 1986, 127).
Ancient interpreters who pursued this could be quite adventurous as when Porphyry—as recorded by Stobaeus (i. 44. 60)—explains that the events of book 10 centering around Kirkê are really a coded message about reincarnation and the way the soul’s rebirth in corporeal form is dictated by its relationship to its desires—its ability to balance the rational (to logistikon), the emotional (thumoeides) and physical (or appetitive) desires (epithumêtikon). In this reading, these parts (ta merê) of the soul may be governed—or at least ameliorated—by education and philosophy. For Heraclitus the allegorist, Odysseus’ entire journey was an allegory for our navigation through virtue and vice, a metaphor the Neoplatonist Proclus echoes. The Homeric scholia are filled with records of allegorical meanings and an ancient tradition makes even Paris’ between Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite an allegory about human lack of self-control (Lamberton 1986, 2; Iamblichus, Life of Pythagoras 42).
My point in going through this even in brief is that there are ancient traditions of Homeric interpretation which find deep, ethical, psychological, and even mystical meaning in the texts. Classical studies of recent centuries has tended back to what Seneca the Younger calls “that sickness of the Greeks” (Graecorum iste morbus, Brevitate Vitae 13) to focus on pedantic detail over and above a greater search for meaning, seeking in desperation for “Homer’s homeland” (Moral Epistle 88), striving not to “nourish our soul but to sharpen our wit” (ad praeceptores suos non animum excolendi, sed ingenium, EM. 108). Even Cicero asks “what impact does this ‘grave’ and ‘acute’ stuff have on the pursuit of the highest good?” (ed, quaeso, quid ex ista acuta et gravi refertur ad τέλος? Ep. To Atticus 12.6)
It is fine to read Homer in translation, in summary, or in excerpt. It is fine to read Homer out of curiosity about peoples in the past, to understand the history of our ideas about literature, to think about claims of universal humanism or that literature can give us values and ennoble us. Whatever brings you to Homer, the reason I think you should read the Iliad or the Odyssey is to be transformed by powerful narratives that seek to make you try to understand more of the universe inside and through yourself. I dare say you may not even require teachers to do this, but it does help to have friends to read with you.
The Achaean camp assembled with a buzz for the best match-up of round 1. Standing in one corner was the Lokrian speedster, a man known for his fast spear and his scatological mouth. In the other? The ugly scourge of leaders and kings, the wild son of Agrios, the sharp-tongued, fast witted Thersites. Bold words, fast feet–who wins?
As the two faced off, all were surprised by Thersites’ silence. The bent-over figure stood with his shield raised and two spears in the ground, his hand on his sword hilt. The Lokrian runner shouted, “Aitolian, bold-of-speech with a sparrow’s heart / where are your taunts now when you said you’d put your sword right into my belly? / I’m hungry for murder and no man or god alive will keep me from you”. As he said his last words he ran forward, releasing one spear, then another.
The first spear hit Thersites’ shield on the left side, drawing him to that side as the second spear landed into his exposed right thigh. As the crowd gasped, Thersites stood motionless and everyone was shocked when they realized Ajax the lesser was sprawled out near Thersites’ feet. He tripped and no one could see how he fell. Their gaze turned quickly to Thersites, calmly lowering his blade into the fallen man’s spine.
Uncharacteristically, Thersites said little as he drew his sword, and turned away with only the shadow of a grin on his face. Only Diomedes noticed Odysseus backing away from the contest ground, obscuring the print of his foot where the Lokrian had lost his way. Gazing at Odysseus, Diomedes said to Thersites, “Be bold and sit down*–you need to rest up to fight me next”
*θαρσέων καθίζευ, a play on Thersites’ name.
In the most interesting competition of the first round of the #NANAIHB we have two potential wrestling heels facing off
Here are some etymologies for Paris. (and credit to @spannycat for asking about this)
“Ill-passing” [Dusparis] someone named for evil, for example when Paris was born. A bad-nickname. Also, a place that is difficult to pass through [duspariton], unpassable. Xenophon uses it this way in the Anabasis.
“Paris, of Paris [Paridos], the son of Hekabê who was called Alexander and also Paris. The name comes from the fire [Fire] in Ida. For Hekabê believed in a dream that she was giving birth to a torch which would consume the city with fire and the forest on Ida too. For this reason, she exposed him on Ida after he was born.”
What is up with all the variant etymologies? It seems that the name Paris is not from Greek origins. As with other famous names, once the origins of a word become obscure, later audiences re-analyze them in some fantastic ways.
“The hero ’ s other name, Paris, is clearly non-Greek. Watkins indicated a possible Luvian attestation of it and related it to the name of his father Priam, which is allegedly of the same etymology (Luvian: Pariyamuvas ‘ supreme in force ’ , from pari(ya)-, which is contracted in the case of Priam).³² It may thus seem that the name Paris is equivalent in sense to Alexandros. However, it is very doubtful that the poem appreciated the meaning of a name in a foreign language…” Kanavou 2015, 85)
Kanavou, Nikoletta. The Names of Homeric Heroes : Problems and Interpretations, De Gruyter, Inc., 2015
“These things seem quite entertaining to me, but they are not true. I have also heard another reason for the bit, much more credible. I am happy with what is said by those who generally agree in Greece, who believe that the goddess is Hera and the work was made by Dionysus. For Dionysus went into Syria on the road that goes to Ethiopia. There are many signs left by Dionysus in the Shrine, among them are foreign clothing and Indian stones and Elephant horns which Dionysus brought from Ethiopia. There are also two really big phalluses that stand up at the entrance gates. This epigram has been inscribed upon them. ‘Dionysus dedicated these phalluses to Hera, his stepmother.’
This remains enough for me, but I will tell you of another oddity in the temple of Dionysus. The Greeks bear phalloi in honor of Dionysus, and they carry something in front of it, a little man carved out of wood which has huge genitals. These are called puppets. There is also one of these in the temple. On the right side of the temple, there is a small bronze man that has giant genitals.”
According to the Greek Anthology there was a temple to Apollônis, the mother of Attalos and Eumenes, at Cyzicos. The temple had at least nineteen epigrams inscribed on columns with accompanying relief images. All of the epigrams have mothers from myth and poetry as their subjects. The Eighth Epigram is on Odysseus’ mother Antikleia.
On the eighth tablet is the underworld visit of Odysseus. He addressed is own mother and asked her for news of his home (Greek Anthology 3.8)
“Wise-minded mother of Odysseus, Antikleia
You didn’t welcome your son home to Ithaka while alive.
Instead, he is shocked when his glance falls upon his sweet mother
Now wandering along the banks of Akheron.”
Of course, this scene plays upon book 11 of the Odyssey doubly: the image recalls Odysseus describing his mother in the Odyssey and it also plays upon the Odyssey’s catalogue of heroic mothers motif, which it in turn shares with the fragmentary Hesiodic Catalogue Of Women.
“Then came the spirit of my mother who had passed away,
The daughter of great-hearted Autolykos, Antikleia
Whom I left alive when I went to sacred Troy.
When I saw her I cried and pitied her in my heart,
But I could not allow her to come forward to touch
The blood before I had learned from Teiresias.”
Some of the language used by scholiasts to designate sections of the Odyssey as spurious is based in a metaphor drawn from the legitimacy of offspring. As such, it might be rigidly authoritarian and misogynistic in emphasizing one (paternal) authority and one legitimate text.
Schol. HQ ad Od. 13.320-323
“These lines are spurious…”

Schol H. ad Od. 15.19
“Some people think these lines are illegitimate…”
ἔνιοι τοὺς γ′ νοθεύουσιν…
Schol. H ad Od. 15.45
“This [line] is spurious because it is adapted from a half-line from book 10 of the Iliad
“Antinoos, full of outrage, deviser of evils—they even claim that you
Are the best among those your age among the people of Ithaka
In council and speeches—but you really are not such a man.
Maniac! Why do you weave death and doom for Telemachus
While you fail to give help to suppliants over whom Zeus indeed
Is witness? It is not right to devise evils for one another.
Don’t you know that when your father came here as an exile
He was afraid of the people? For they were completely enraged with him
Because he had fallen in with Taphian pirates
And was harming the Thesprotians who were our allies.
They were willing to destroy him and crush his dear heart
And to consume his great pleasing life altogether.
But Odysseus defended him and held them off even though they were eager.
Now you eat up his dishonored home, you woo his dishonored wife,
And you are killing his child—and you are greatly aggrieving me.
I order you to stop and to compel the others.”
The sacrifice of Iphigenia is a pivotal moment in the tale of the House of Atreus—it motivates Agamemnon’s murder and in turn the matricide of Orestes—and the Trojan War, functioning as it does as a strange sacrifice of a virgin daughter of Klytemnestra in exchange for passage for a fleet to regain the adulteress Helen, Iphigeneia’s aunt by both her father and mother. The account is famous in Aeschylus’ Agamemnon and the plays Iphigenia at Aulis and Iphigenia among the Taurians by Euripides. Its earliest accounts, however, provide some interesting variations:
Hes. Fr. 23.13-30
“Agamemnon, lord of men, because of her beauty,
Married the dark-eyed daughter of Tyndareus, Klytemnestra.
She gave birth to fair-ankled Iphimede in her home
And Elektra who rivaled the goddesses in beauty.
But the well-greaved Achaeans butchered Iphimede
on the altar of thundering, golden-arrowed Artemis
on that day when they sailed with ships to Ilium
in order to exact payment for fair-ankled Argive woman—
they butchered a ghost. But the deer-shooting arrow-mistress
easily rescued her and anointed her head
with lovely ambrosia so that her flesh would be enduring—
She made her immortal and ageless for all days.
Now the races of men upon the earth call her
Artemis of the roads, the servant of the famous arrow-mistress.
Last in her home, dark-eyed Klytemnestra gave birth
after being impregnated by Agamemnon to Orestes,
who, once he reached maturity, paid back the murderer of his father
and killed his mother as well with pitiless bronze.”
This fragment presents what is possibly the earliest account of the tale of Iphigenia and contains the major elements: the sacrifice of Agamemnon’s daughter is tied to vengeance against Helen; the daughter is rescued by Artemis, made immortal and made her servant. [In some traditions she is either made immortal or made into a priestess of Artemis at Tauris]. Orestes kills the murderer of his father and his mother.

Astuanassa: A handmaid of Helen, Menelaos’ wife. She first discovered positions for intercourse and wrote On Sexual Positions. Philainis and Elephantinê rivaled her in this later—they were women who danced out these sorts of wanton acts.
As is largely unsurprising from the perspective of Greek misogyny, excessive interest in sexual behavior is projected a female quality. Expertise beyond interest is made the province of female ‘professionals’ (slaves) who may act as scapegoats and marginal figures for the corruption of both men and women. There is a combination of such interest with an excessive emphasis on eating (and eating really well) in Athenaeus where the pleasures of the body are combined.

“Dear men, even though I have great admiration for Chrysippus as the leader of the Stoa, I praise him even more because he ranks Arkhestratos, well-known for his Science of Cooking along with Philainis who is credited with a licentious screed about sexual matters—even though the iambic poet of Samos, Aiskhriôn, claims that Polycrates the sophist started this slander of her when she was really quite chaste. The lines go like this:
“I, Philainis, circulated among men
Lie here thanks to great old age.
Don’t laugh, foolish sailor, as your trace the cape
Nor make me a target of mockery or insult
For, by Zeus and his sons in Hell
I was never a slut with men nor a public whore.
Polykrates, Athenian by birth,
A bit clever with words and with a nasty tongue,
Wrote what he wrote. I don’t know anything about it.”
But the most amazing Chrysippus combines in the fifth book of his On Goodness and Pleasure that both “the books of Philianis and the Gastronomiai of Arkhestratos and forces of erotic and sexual nature, and in the same way slave-girls who are expert at these kinds of movements and positions and who are engaged in their practice.” He adds that they learn this type of material completely and then thoroughly possess what has been written on these topics by Philainis and Arkhestratos and those who have written on similar topics. Similarly, in his seventh book, he says ‘As you cannot wholly learn the works of Philianis and Arkhestratos’ Gastronomia because they do have something to offer for living better.’ “

To create series of banner ads for Blockbuster Video promote the unveiling of their “Unlimited DVD rentals by mail”, a new service that would position them to compete with Netflix. Because of the sizeable media buy, the creative solution had to be “phenomenal” and “drive clicks”. The banners were to run on the front page of Yahoo.com where millions of people visit each day.
Instead of the typical static banner ads that had been typically commonplace, we created a series of interactive and engaging creative ads that seemed almost “3-D” designed to pull the viewers eye from competing text and images on the Yahoo! Home Page. These included snowballs being “thrown” at the viewer, kernels of popcorn “popping” off the screen, DVDs shooting off-screen into mailboxes, etc. Oh, did we mention we had about five (5) days to concept, design and develop 4 campaigns?
These ads set new records at Yahoo! for click-thru-rates for banners on their home page, an impressive accomplishment considering the amount of creative both Fortune 500 companies had created over their existence. The campaign was highly successful and extremely profitable for Blockbuster and Yahoo! and resulted in our agency winning additional work from both.

I am currently in the process of cataloging all of the video games I have in my collection, and I decided to start with my favorite handheld console of all time… the PlayStation Vita! The list is now up to date, so I thought I would share it with everyone. Let’s take a look!
Before I go any further, I do need to preface this with a quick little back story. Back in around 2013-14, I had a massive physical video game collection. I mean huge! I spent over 10 years building my prized library that spanned dozens of consoles. As fate would have it however, I hit very hard times, and had to sell everything I had collected and loved so much! It all came down to survival as a single parent (at the time), so while difficult, it was also an easy decision to make. So I sold all of my games. The one thing I never sold though, was my consoles as I saw those as being much harder to replace.
Not having any physical games would make it seem like I had no games to play anymore, right? Well not exactly. In today’s day and age, everything is going digital. And that’s where I am now with my beloved and most favorite handheld console of all time, the PlayStation Vita.
I bought mine at launch way back in 2012. The original OLED/3G/WiFi model. That gorgeous piece of hardware has been my joy, and is always being used, and all due to the fact that I have amassed so many digital games for it! Now if only Sony’s stupid memory cards were cheaper……
So many collectors these days only show off physical collections and often forget about the digital games. Don’t get me wrong, I want a large physical collection again, and I will one day very soon! But digital to me still counts. They are mine. I own them. In the case of the Vita, I either paid for them, or in a lot of cases got them for free as a PS+ member.
Now that I am trying to keep track of everything I own, and trying to start completing my backlog of games…… I saw Backloggery.com as the best place to go.
I have used the site in the past with my old collection, and now that I am rebooting back into the collection scene, I have started using a new account.
I compiled a complete list of every single Vita game I own, and even noted which ones were PS+ freebies (more on that very soon in an upcoming blog post). While I wish the site had a better method for entries (one at a time is monotonous), it does everything I need. I can keep track of every game I own, list if it has been played/beaten/completed, and even keep track of trophy/achievement progress. Best of all, I can share this with all of my friends and TMG readers!
So I present to you, MvM42 (my online gaming handle) on Backloggery.com and my 190 Vita games. And so there is no confusion, I do have 4 physical Vita games. All others are digital and noted with ‘(PSN Version)’ in their titles. You can find me and my collection here:
The Vita by the way is just the tip of the collection iceberg! There are more games yet to be listed (both digital and physical), for more than a dozen other platforms. So please stay tuned!
That’s all for now, so as always……
Cheers & Game On!
– The Malty Gamer

Fancy turning any… that’s right ANY chocolate egg into a chocolate scotch egg?
The Hippo Inns are putting on one Egg of a Hunt this Spring, with a very special treat for chocolate lovers.
Hippo Inns are becoming every chocolate lovers fairy godmother and turning any chocolate egg into a chocolate scotch egg.
Guests who bring an egg to any Hippo Inn venue, including the Eagle on Ladbroke Grove, The Islington Townhouse and the Duke of Sussex in Waterloo, can hand it over to the chef and have it returned to them as a gooey, warm, big battered chocolate egg.
The hunt continues as Hippo Inns have gone Willy Wonka for Easter weekend and are offering one lucky winner £1,000.
All you have to do is find the one scotch egg that has been soaked in beetroot and gives off a pink tint when cut into. There will be one egg to be found, across all eight Hippo Inns venues, so dinners better start feasting on scotch eggs and hope they find the beetroot ticket.
For those guests who missed out on the grand prize, Hippo Inns are offering five runner up prizes of a meal for two people at any Hippo Inn pub.
After your plates are wiped clean, turn them over to see if you’re one of the lucky five plates with a hippo sticker on the bottom, the five fortunate winners should then inform the staff to booked in for their complimentary meal.

Materials like Lego blocks, stripes, gate, were gathered and organized along with plastic animals, in a box that kids could have access to use to decorate and build their own miniature zoo. It was such fun for them as they learned about zoo animals and those they could be laid hands on at that time.
Kids were taught to print their first name. We were so patient, as this will take practice. This is very empowering for a preschooler!
Language and literacy are rooted in social interactions as children were the group in pairs and led to trace letter r on the board. Each pair wanted to be the best.
The exercises done during their gym class helps in endorphin production (feel Good hormones) in the brain. As kids get involved in gym classes, they benefit from the release of endorphins. The physical activity becomes fun. These allow kids to go to their next classes feeling cheerful, relaxed and ready to focus on learning new ideas.

Rose said the decision to leave had not been “made lightly”
The Australian actress Ruby Rose is to leave her role as comic book superhero Batwoman after just one series.
Rose said it had been a “very difficult decision” not to return to the show, which is shown in the UK on E4.
Batwoman, which began on the CW network last year, is the first superhero show to have an openly gay lead character.
Its producers said they were “firmly committed” to the show’s “long-term” future and would re-cast the role with another member of the LGBTQ community.
Rose, who is openly gay, said she was “truly grateful… to everyone who made season one a success”.
The 34-year-old said she had “the utmost respect” for everyone involved and that the decision to leave had not been “made lightly”.
The actress played Kate Kane, aka Batwoman, in the US TV series
Rose faced a backlash on social media when she was cast as Batwoman, with some saying the role should have gone to a lesbian actress.
The actress, who has called herself “gender-fluid” in interviews, later deleted her Twitter profile, though she remains active on Instagram.
Last year Rose revealed she had suffered an injury while filming the series that had required her to undergo emergency surgery.
The actress said she had “herniated two discs doing stunts” – but Deadline reported the injury was not the reason for her departure.
Born in Melbourne in 1986, Rose played Stella Carlin in Orange is the New Black and has appeared in such films as Pitch Perfect 3 and The Meg.
Yet she is far from the first actor to leave or be replaced in a major film or TV show.
Stars who walked away
United Artists/Getty Images
George Lazenby as James Bond
George Lazenby famously walked away from the role of James Bond after making just one appearance in the popular spy film series.
The model turned actor later admitted he had been persuaded by his then-manager – the late Ronan O’Rahilly – to seek other opportunities.
“I thought he knew what he was talking about so I listened to him,” the Australian told an audience at the National Film Theatre last year.
Lazenby’s single outing as Bond, On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, was released in 1969 and is now a firm fan favourite.
Christopher Eccleston as The Doctor
Christopher Eccleston was cast as The Doctor when Doctor Who was relaunched in 2005 – but he departed after a single series.
The actor, who was replaced by David Tennant, later said he “didn’t enjoy the environment and the culture” of the show.
All the Doctors, from Hartnell to Whittaker
“My relationship with my three immediate superiors… broke down irreparably during the first block of filming and it never recovered,” he elaborated in 2018.
The actor, currently to be seen in The A Word on BBC One, also said he had been “out of his comfort zone” playing the sci-fi drama’s time-travelling hero.
Edward Norton in January 2020
Edward Norton was cast as Bruce Banner in 2008’s The Incredible Hulk but did not reprise the role in Marvel Studios’ subsequent comic-book blockbusters.
Its president Kevin Feige later said the role had been recast out of a “need for an actor who embodies the creativity and collaborative spirit of our other talented cast members”.
Speaking last year, Norton called Feige’s 2010 statement “cheap” and that his exit had been the result of differing views on how to depict the character.
“Ultimately they weren’t going for long, dark and serious,” said Norton, who was replaced by Mark Ruffalo when The Hulk returned in 2012’s Avengers Assemble.
Terrence Howard, who played James “Rhodey” Rhodes in 2008’s Iron Man, is another actor to be replaced in Marvel’s superhero film series.
He later claimed he was offered less money than he had been promised to reprise the role, which Don Cheadle has played since 2010’s Iron Man 2.
Tyne Daly and Sharon Gless in Cagney and Lacey
Sharon Gless played Christine Cagney in Cagney and Lacey for seven years, winning two Primetime Emmys and a Golden Globe for her pains.
Yet she was not the first actress to play the part in the popular US TV series about two female police detectives solving crimes in New York City.
Loretta Swit played Cagney in the original TV movie but was not able to continue in the role when the CBS show went to series.
Meg Foster was then cast, only to be replaced after six episodes because CBS allegedly wanted someone “more feminine” in the role.
Speaking in 2012, Gless praised her co-star Tyne Daly for “welcoming me as if she had not had anybody before me”.
“I know her heart was hurting because she loved her last Cagney,” she revealed.
When Men Behaving Badly first began in 1992, the two flatmates were played by Martin Clunes and Harry Enfield.
According to Clunes, though, the show that ITV produced did not match Enfield’s hopes for it.
“His original vision was for it not to be like a usual sitcom,” Clunes told The Guardian in 2013. “Then we made the pilot and it shocked him.
“You could see Harry wanted out,” he continued. “He was under contract, though, so had to do one series.”
Neil Morrissey was subsequently cast as Clunes’ flatmate in the show, which continued on ITV for another series before being picked up by the BBC.
Anthony Hopkins and Jodie Foster both won Oscars for The Silence of the Lambs
Jodie Foster earned her second best actress Oscar for playing Clarice Starling in The Silence of the Lambs – one of five Academy Awards Jonathan Demme’s film won in 1992.
When the offer came to reprise her role in Hannibal, though, she turned it down – opening the door for Julianne Moore to appear with Anthony Hopkins in Ridley Scott’s 2001 follow-up.
“I stand to make more money doing that sequel than I’ve ever made in my life,” Foster was quoted as saying in 1999. “But who cares, if it betrays Clarice?”
“The official reason I didn’t do Hannibal is I was doing another movie,” she elaborated in 2005. “So I get to say, in a nice, dignified way, that I wasn’t available when that movie was being shot.”
Amusingly, however, Foster was enticed to reprise her FBI agent character in 2017 for a satirical sketch on Stephen Colbert’s late-night US talk show.

The NEC Motorshow in 1998 was a vitally important event for Rover and Jaguar. Both companies launched brand new cars – and, in both cases, they were designed the way they were to re-establish traditional marque values.
Both cars were styled to evoke memories of 1950s and ’60s products, but the question remains: which did it better and was ‘retro’ really the correct way to go?
Coventry vs Birmingham
Retro is an old-hat design theme now, but it’s one seized upon by media types, who like to pigeonhole cars into easily identifiable categories. If you were at the 1998 NEC Motor Show in Birmingham, you would have been there to see the launch of two cars upon which their companies’ respective managements pinned their future hopes, but which were both styled very much with one eye on the past. Retro was back…
The Rover 75 was a vitally important car, because it needed to replace both the 600 and 800 ranges and, in a stroke, re-establish all that was quintessentially ‘Rover’ in a model range, which had become increasingly Japanese in its engineering philosophy. It was also the first car to appear, which had been fully engineered in the BMW era – the styling may have been largely settled before BMW came on board, but the way it drove and the way it was built was very much down to Rover under BMW.
The Jaguar S-Type came about because Ford had ambitions to increase the marque’s production levels drastically – and that involved adding extra model lines to the range. It was the first move in that downward direction – and, taking full advantage of the Ford parts bin available to it, the S-Type was based heavily on the platform of the American market Lincoln LS. As far as Ford believed, the key to Jaguar’s very survival was to allow it to grow and offer a range, which parallelled that offered by BMW and Mercedes-Benz.
Why Retro, Rover?
The reason Rover went down this road was to re-establish the very core of ‘Roverness’, which had – management felt – been lost during the SD1 and 800 era. This is, perhaps, a design direction that asserted itself quite strongly during the BMW era, when a misty-eyed Bernd Pischetsrieder ensured his edict that Rovers should exude ‘Englishness’ – which he (and many other Germans) seem to have confused with the ‘Trad-Brit’ wood-and-leather cliché.
Many considered Rover’s glory years to be in the golden age of P4, P5 and P6 production, and it was felt Rover’s new car should hark back to this era. Quality was utmost in Designers’ and Managers’ minds, and it seems Rover’s high watermark in this department was during the P4 era.
Rover’s P4 remains a very able car to drive today, and has a timeless look to it. Richard Woolley took many design cues from it when creating his ‘modern classic’ 75
So, Rover’s brief was clear – make the car look as ‘English’ as possible, but keep a modern package in check with enough features from the ‘P-Series’ to allow any potential customer to form a clear link in their own mind between the two eras – perhaps banishing thoughts of post modern, unreliable heaps such as the SD1 and 800. Of course, this would have been a tough brief to answer, and it is clear that Richard Woolley trod a compromise line between his own ‘600-Series update’ and ‘modern P4’.
Luckily, the basic 75 shape is extremely well considered and, if one can view the car without allowing the chrome detailing to dominate their perception of the car, then its essential ‘rightness’ does come shining through, retro brief or not… Freelance Motoring Writer Mike Duff doesn’t pull his punches on this one: ‘To me, the greatest strength of the MG ZT/ZT-T is that it undoes as much of the 75’s retro pastiche as possible.’
The shape and proportions of the 75, therefore, were ultra-modern at the time of its launch, and yet it managed to look traditional, almost stately. A success, then, on all levels?
According to Richard Bremner, this is absolutely the case. His enthusiasm for the 75 is abundantly clear, even if he feels the retro brief is not in the spirit of previous innovative Rovers: ‘It would be a while before I fully appreciated just how well crafted a design this car is. When I first saw it – at Gaydon – I was a little disappointed. It looked too traditional, too much like the replacement for the 600, and not true to the innovative heart of Rover as was (P4, P5, P6, P9, SD1).
‘I still think that now, but what you notice with time is the exquisite sculpting of its flanks, both along the length of the car, and from window line to sills. Only the Alfa 156 is as well done. The chrome strip was terrific too. And with the possible exception of the headlights, there is no aspect of the exterior that looks wrong.’
However, this is not a universal opinion – even though the 75 is so well sculpted, it’s the retro concept, which many people have difficulty coming to terms with. After all, the P4, P5, P6 and SD1 are all considered great Rovers, and yet none of them were retro themselves and all are still lauded today as being daring and contemporary in their day…
Would they be thought of in such terms had they been designed with one eye on their past?
Jaguar loses courage
The parallels between the Rover 75 and the Jaguar S-Type are numerous. The S-Type was designed at a time when management felt the best design direction for Jaguar was to look at its older products and try to emulate them in the modern idiom. It started with the XJ40 (not so successfully), but blossomed unexpectedly well with the X300 and X308. This success lead to a confidence in the ‘Retro’ school of design within Jaguar, and so its new model would be modelled around the successful Mk2 and S-type models of the 1960s.
Whether this was the right direction or not, one thing was for sure, Jaguar would be compromised by the underpinnings of the car it would be based upon.
Unlike the 75, which was a clean-sheet design, beautifully crafted, the S-Type looked too much like a slab-sided modern car with a vintage front and rear grafted on. Richard Bremner certainly feels it is not as successful design as the Rover: ‘I was disappointed – in fact, shocked – from the start. I also saw this car before the show, and just couldn’t get on with it. I thought the grille unbelievably crude – the sort of thing you’d expect from Korea at that time.
‘Though I had less trouble with the rear, unlike many, the car was nothing to the original Mk2. And that swage line… The shape of the cut itself, rather in its actual arc along the body, was totally at odds with the curves in the rest of the car. It was too slab-sided, which the crude bodycolour rubbing strip of the original did nothing to help. But I did like the rear lamps.’
For us, there is a real feeling of déja vu with the S-Type and, if you look at pictures of the Mitsuka Ryóga, you’ll see where we’re coming from.
Retro: good, bad or ugly?
Above: Rover 75 interior has been well designed and, although some may dislike the ovaloid theme running through it, there’s no doubt there’s real strength in depth here. Quality is on a different level to any other Rover produced since the P6 – it’s actually very solid. For most people under 40 years old, it might look a little too old-school for them – with the parchment coloured instruments particular cause for concern…
Below: Light woods and high-quality leather make this a very pleasant place to sit, but there’s something very ordinary about the design of the dashboard and the style of the instruments. Effective, yes. Desirable, no. Unlike the Rover, which has clear links with many of its predecessors, the S-Type’s interior is neither modern, nor ‘Jaguar-like’
The question remains: has retro been good or bad for both companies? In Jaguar’s case, it has certainly been a factor in its recent downfall. Although the S-Type is a great car, its styling is seen as a real turn off to many younger buyers, and as Mercedes-Benz and Audi will tell you, getting the look right is important in maintaining a presence. They must be hoping BMW’s ‘Bangle Jangle’ proves to be an unsuccessful leap into the unknown…
Getting back to retro, it is most definitely more difficult than many people imagine, because to balance the consideration of modern aerodynamics and packaging constraints with a look meant to evoke the style of a bygone era must be very difficult for any designer.
It’s a double-edged sword, in fact, as The Grand Tour and Sniff Petrol‘s Richard Porter explains: ‘As a strategy, retro is never having to think too hard about the future. But to actually design a retro car is, I bet, a right old bugger because you’ve got to keep looking over your shoulder to remember that you’re working under the influence of something else. In that respect, I’d wager it takes longer than being original, like caricaturing a famous person instead of doodling a stick man.
‘Retro is never just a photocopier job – not even the Ford GT – so it’s probably rather harder then we give credit for. Does it work? Well, people fear the new don’t they. Heartbeat gets a far bigger audience than, say, Chris Morris’s Jam because it’s a cosy canter through the past rather than an uncomfortable convention breaker. So the real laziness of retro comes from the buying public not facing up to the future, rather than design process, which I’m sure is a protracted process of endless playing around with suitably nostalgic chrome fillet.’
So, used properly, retro can be an effective way of maintaining customers and, let’s face it – we’re all part of an ageing population. Having said that, the strategy doesn’t move the game on at all, and as a long game, retro is always going to be a no-no, because its like not calling your mother – the longer you leave it, the harder it gets to change your ways…
Motoring journalist Mike Duff’s certainly has no doubts on that score: ‘Both the S-Type and the R75 have had their long-term cases severely damaged by retro styling, which must have seemed like such a good idea at the time. Both the S-Type and the 75 were harking past to an idealised past that never really existed. As Ian Callum (who had nothing to do with the design of the S-Type) has since pointed out, Jaguar was a company with forward-looking design until the early 1980s when the defence mechanism of ‘make it like the old one’ gave us the XJ40.
‘Rover, too, was smart and contemporary in the age of the P6, SD1 and even – if you scrunch up your eyes hard enough – the 800. Both of these cars were profoundly reactionary, something it quickly transpired that punters didn’t want (especially the tens of thousands of Germans that Rover confidently predicted were waiting eagerly for the Olde Worlde charms of the R75 – and who weren’t) and, although they drove well by the standards of the segment they were launched into, the magic faded very quickly.’
Which does it better?
If you treat this as a direct comparison, the 3.0-litre Jaguar S-Type we drove annihilates the 2.0-litre CDT-powered Rover in terms of performance and ride quality. In other areas, the Rover runs it surprisingly close and, in some – notably interior build quality and high speed body control, it actually eclipses the ‘Big Cat’. (Bear in mind this was a pre-facelift S-Type – chassis composure is vastly improved on the current model).
However, this article is about design – and it’s here the Rover and Jaguar are most closely matched.
Whether you rate retro or not, the answer to the question of which is the better retro-car is surprisingly simple. The Rover wins it easily, because it is a much more cohesive design, and one which works whether it is bejewelled with chrome or not. We suspect the Jaguar, bereft of its retro detailing, could pass for just about any car, whereas you can’t mistake the Rover. It oozes class, something the Jaguar sadly lacks…
Thanks to Claire Smith for the loan of her Jaguar S-Type

The use of thermomechanical analysis (TMA) as a tool for assignment of glass transition temperatures, Tg, is discussed in this paper. An attempt to address the minimum requirements of TMA instrumentation necessary for Tg assignments is included. The subject of temperature calibration of the TMA instrument, which is a prerequisite for any temperature of transition assignment, is discussed. Methodology is offered for using the TMA nstrument in the expansion mode for Tg assignments. In addition, TMA methodology mploying a flat-tipped penetration probe for the assignment of the softening temperature, Ts, is also given here. For most amorphous materials, Ts is very close to the Tg value assigned by expansion TMA or differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).

To draft a resolution, we recommend delegates go to our delegate center and click on the resolution section where delegates can access documents related to resolutions. There delegates can also access the THIMUN Guides which include not only information on resolution but on many MUN aspects.
We recommend delegates pay close attention to proper format for resolutions, and ensure proper punctuation use is followed. For example, parentheses are only used to write an acronym after the name of an organization such as the World Health Organization (WHO), or a comma ends each preambulatory clause but a semi-colon ends each operative clause while a colon introduces a list of items. Remember, since delegates simulate the United Nations, resolutions must adhere to guidelines given and ensure proper English usage. To this end, we recommend delegates have access to journalism guides such as the Associated Press Stylebook plus dictionaries, including bi-lingual dictionaries.

I was recently interviewed by Business Insider about the FDA’s review of a potential new anti-epilepsy drug, Epidiolex. In Phase III clinical trials, 44% of patients with Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS) and 43% of patients with Dravet syndrome who used Epidiolex saw a 50% or greater reduction in their seizures compared to 24% and 27% of participants who took the placebo.
Epidiolex could be the first drug derived from cannabidiol (CBD) to gain FDA approval. Unlike THC, one of the other components in marijuana, cannabidiol is not an intoxicant. So, Epidiolex does not have hallucinogenic effects. The FDA is expected to make its final decision about Epidiolex in June.
In other news: CURE is announcing the expansion of its Day of Science event; CURE is urging insurance companies to maintain reasonable access to Sabril; and you can now support CURE while drinking your morning cup of coffee. Read on….

Philanthropy makes the world a better place in general. It brings people, even complete strangers, together for a common cause. Whether that cause be to eradicate a disease, assist in the aftermath of a tragedy, or raise money for a fundraiser, even the smallest amount of help goes a long way.
Speaker, author, and philanthropist Laura Schwartz exemplifies what helping others is about. The former Director of Events for the Clinton Administration has donated her time and generosity to many causes. Schwartz even gave the funds she received from writing a Chicago Sun-Times article to Clean the World in 2012. She is also heavily involved with the American Heart Association as an advocacy board member. In addition, she runs the association’s Go Red Luncheons and Chicago Heart Walks. She has worked with the United Way and the YWCA as well.
Philanthropy has also literally given people life throughout history. As a result of the recent and tragic Orlando shooting, blood has been in high demand for victims of the attack. Fortunately, hundreds of people nationwide have been stepping up and donating their blood in the hope of saving a person’s life. And like many of us, Laura Schwartz was shocked and saddened when hearing about this horrific tragedy. She has since posted multiple messages of support on her twitter page, and sends her prayers to all who were affected by the Orlando attack.
Interestingly, today, June 14, is World Blood Donor Day. The event, established in 2004, serves to raise awareness of the need for safe blood and blood products, and to thank blood donors for their voluntary, life-saving gifts of blood.
Roughly 108 million donations from around the world are collected with half of them coming from high-income countries. To put it in the perspective of an impoverished nation, donations from only 1% of the world’s population can supply an entire nation’s basic blood needs, according to the World Health Organization.
The American Red Cross states that someone in the United States needs blood “EVERY TWO SECONDS!”
Nearly 36,000 red blood cell units, 7,000 units of platelets and 10,000 units of plasma are needed every day in this country.
If you would like to donate blood to the victims of Orlando or to anyone else, you can find the nearest American Red Cross drive or event in your area here.

Professor Kokila Lakhoo, Mr. Richard Stewart (paediatric surgeons) and Mr. Philip Henman (orthopedic surgeon) representing the Royal College of Surgeons in England are partnering with Dr. Vrisha Madhuri along with the departments of general surgery, anaesthetics, and nursing at the Christian Medical College in Vellore, India to teach a Provider’s Course for Children’s Surgical Care in secondary hospitals.
This pilot initiative in June 2017 lead locally by Professor Sukria Nayak, and Professor Vrisha Madhuri was attended by 24 staff from two government hospitals and three mission hospitals.
- Broadwell Christian Hospital, Fatehpur, Uttar Pradesh
- Baptist Christian Hospital, Tezpur, Assam
- Christian Fellowship Hospital, Oddanchatram, Tamil Nadu
- District Hospital, Tumkur, Karnataka
- KCG Hospital, Malleshwaram, Karnataka
The course ran over three days with lectures, scenarios, interactive sessions and live operating held at the Paul Brand building and the Chittoor campus.
Day 1 gave an introduction to the management of a sick child followed by skill stations on airway management, chest drain insertion, vascular access, splinting and analgesia which were energetically participated in. After lunch CPR was practiced on infant and child manikins lead by the local emergency and ICU teams. The program for the day was concluded with case discussions on what to refer and what to treat locally and a very energetic exercise on transport where the teams were made to compete with each other in keeping their patient alive.
On day 2 Orthopaedics and anaesthesia traveled to the Chittoor campus where there was a surgical demonstration of the application of eight plate, for deformity, and practice applying plaster casts on a club foot model, followed by a demonstration of soft tissue release. Simultaneously the anesthetic teams evaluated anesthetic techniques, equipment, fluid management, analgesia and recovery. The General surgical and nursing teams remained on the main CMC campus where the surgeons participated in case discussions on paediatric urology, intestinal obstruction and haemangioma management as well as a fascinating lecture on snake bites. In parallel the nursing team had interactive sessions on nutrition, pain management, care of a child with burns and stoma care.
Day 3 was a half-day allowing participants time to travel back to base. The first half of the morning was speciality specific the orthopaedic teams discussing cerebral palsy, sepsis and joint infections; the general surgical team discussing spina bifida and abdominal wall defects; the anaesthetic teams discussing tips & tricks, foreign body managment and decision making; and the nursing teams participating in skill stations on cast care, gastrostomy management and NG feeding. The course finished with a common session on safety and the WHO checklist using locally made video’s, starring the CMC team, demonstrating bad practice and how it should be done, which caused much amusement.

Recently, it has been suggested to use a medicine that contains the active ingredient dihydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) in order to “cure” high FSH.
High levels of FSH are the result of a low ovarian reserve rather than the cause, so trying to “cure” the high price of FSH is pointless and wrong and it most certainly will NOT help you to get pregnant.
What is DHEA and what does it benefit from?
DHEA – dihydroepiandrosterone – is a hormone that is converted to testosterone and estradiol by the body and can be considered as part of the infertility treatment. There are clinical studies in which DHEA has been found to be beneficial for women who have a decreased egg reserve or a poorer response to IVF drugs (poor responders).
The published studies in women with diminished ovarian reserve that had received DHEA supplement for up to two months there were indications BUT NO EVIDENCE that:
they became pregnant faster
had higher rates of sustained pregnancy
What side effects does DHEA have?
The side effects are usually mild and are due to its androgenic effect due to testosterone production and are:
hair growth on the face
What is the dose of DHEA and how long?
DHEA is taken as one 25 mg tablet three times a day. The effect of DHEA occurs relatively quickly (usually within six weeks). This is why, if the decision to take DHEA is taken, it is advisable to take it for six weeks before the in vitro fertilization cycle.
It is forbidden to receive DHEA as a fertility enhancer for women that are not following an IVF program.
Where can I buy DHEA?
The recommendation made by EOF (Hellenic Agency for Medicines) DOES NOT allow the use of this drug for fertility purposes as there is not sufficient scientific evidence to draw a clear conclusion about the use of DHEA for this condition.
In the United States, the use of DHEA has been licensed for fertility issues, whereas it is prohibited in the United Kingdom.
Dr. Ioannidis draws your attention and urges you not to receive medications arbitrarily on your own when the official instructions forbid them. The decision whether or not women suffering from premature ovarian failure and low ovarian response to IVF drugs should take DHEA has to be taken after informed briefing by medical experts of assisted reproduction.

Today we have a special treat that Natalie Norton is sharing with us. Natalie sends us this photo of Hawaii’s state flower, the hibiscus. Natalie is a professional photographer who lives on the North Shore of Oahu. I have to say that I’m a fan of hers. I follow her blog where she displays samples of her unique work. She’s such a talent at capturing great family and wedding portraits.
Mahalo Natalie for sharing this photo!

How Long Do I Have to Answer a Lawsuit in Texas?
Updated: Mar 31, 2019
Learning that you or your company has been sued is a stressful event. Anger, annoyance and disbelief are normal. But if you are sued, set those emotions aside, relax and call an attorney. Don’t wait or lay the suit papers on your desk. The clock is ticking! Once you or your company has been sued, you have only a certain amount of time to answer the case, which means filing papers, in the same court the suit is filed in, that lists all of your defenses to the suit. If you don’t file an answer by the deadline, the person or company that is suing you (called the “plaintiff”) can go to court and take a default judgment against you. This means that the plaintiff can tell the court you haven’t answered and are in default. The plaintiff can ask the judge, then and there, to award him everything he is asking for. And since you are not there, you can’t defend yourself!
There are several different kinds of courts in Texas, and each has a slightly different deadline to answer. And of course different states have very different requirements. Here are the deadlines to answer a lawsuit in Texas courts:
1. Texas District and County Courts: Your answer must be filed on or before 10:00 a.m. on the Monday next after the expiration of 20 days after you are served with the suit.
2. Texas Justice Courts: Your answer must be filed by the end of the 14th day after the day you were served with the papers. If the 14th day is a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, your answer is due by the end of the first day following the 14th day that is not a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday.
3. United States District Courts in Texas: Your answer is due within 21 days after being served with the summons and complaint.
As you can see, even figuring out when to answer is complicated, and there are lots of potential defenses to the suit that you can waive (meaning “give up”) if you don’t put them in your initial answer.
Bottom line. If you are sued take a deep breath, don’t delay, and call an experienced trial attorney to ask what you need to file, and when. Call us if we can help.

Stjärnägg is a market-leading supplier of eggs in Sweden with a focus on sustainable, local production. The egg producer, which already has the market's widest range of eggs from outdoor chickens, recently expanded its free-range egg offer "Utehönsägg" with a further pack size. Now Hartmann's Mini Poster PackTM for 15 eggs allows Stjärnägg to attract consumers looking for larger egg packaging sizes.
The 15-pack was already available for its other egg brands like "Skåneägg", as well as for seasonal campaigns. As this has proven to be successful on the Swedish market, the decision was made to also expand the "Utehönsägg" range and add a bigger egg carton. The moulded fibre packaging is a practical choice for an authentic and traditional look. Furthermore, it offers plenty of space on the label for communication at the POS.
Already last year, when Stjärnägg's entire range went through a makeover, Hartmann’s egg packaging
were the perfect choice for the redesign of the different egg brands. The imagic2® egg cartons completed
the product range with a large, continuous smooth surface.
Click here to read more about Stjärnägg's redesigned market appearance.
Hartmann Technology celebrates a key milestone.
Unique labels drive French egg producer’s 60th anniversary promotion – and help sell more eggs.
What can an analysis of big data tell us about trends in the egg industry.

Our dear friend Brian would like to invite everybody to participate in a day of celebration, appreciation and notification for BiS following the release of Brand-new Idol Society 2 next week.
BiS are after all, Exhibit A of the New Idol Revolution, the shot heard around the world, and the first inductees in the Alt-Idol Hall of Fame. There’s a solid case that most of the new idol music that’s currently sweeping us off our feet wouldn’t exist without them, and we need to get to the church on time and them know that we know it.
And how are we going to do that, Brian? Continue reading

September 7, 2020
The third week of school is upon us. It has been such a pleasure to see students back in the classrooms, in the hallways, and even at our first home football game. Our faculty, staff, and students have all done a wonderful job in each building to adhere to social distancing as much as possible. However, with all of the precautions we have put into place at our school, like with any other virus nothing is a guarantee.
On Monday, September 7th, the Administration at Heber Springs Schools was made aware of a positive COVID-19 case in the Heber Springs Middle School. The Administration has contacted the Arkansas Department of Health for further guidance, and through contact tracing by the ADH and HSSD, the individuals who were at risk for primary exposure have been contacted. The Administration will continue to closely monitor this situation moving forward.
I want to thank the families of those impacted for their patience and understanding as we worked through this situation.
Dr. Andy Ashley

Dave Deamer and Bruce Damer explaining how life on Earth may have began on the banks of the Shaw River, Pilbara Western Australia
People often travel the world in search of a life changing experience. Some people have had life-affirming, mind-broadening trips where they found personal purpose, or pondered deep questions such as the meaning of life.
A couple years ago, in 2015, I went on a trip of a lifetime — a trip that completely changed my life. I know that’s a big statement, but I stand by it. Where did I go? I didn’t achieve personal enlightenment in a secluded meditation retreat in India, nor did I realise my life long dream of summiting Mount Kilimanjaro. I went on a camping trip to the blisteringly hot, dusty, red, barren region of the Pilbara in Western Australia to ponder life … with a bunch of scientists.
The Pilbara is often referred to as ‘the cradle of life’ because it has some of Earth’s oldest, best-preserved rocks that contain evidence of the earliest life on this planet — fossils of tiny microbes that lived about 3.5 billion years ago. Scientists have studied the area and the fossils there to answer one of the biggest questions of humankind: how and where did life get started?
So, why did I go on a camping trip to the cradle of life with scientists? At the time, I was working on a project called The Mars Lab — an education program that gets school students to do real scientific investigations to search for evidence of life on Mars. The key goal of this program is to get students to really experience what it’s like to be and think like a scientist so that they can understand how science is done. Since I was working on developing the education experiences for The Mars Lab, the project manager, Dr Carol Oliver, thought that it would be valuable for me to understand how science is done myself. She felt this field trip was just what I needed to gain insight into how science is done.
I was happy to go on this field trip, but I didn’t think I needed any insight into the realm of science — I mean come on, I had a four-year Bachelor of Science with Honours under my belt. I had taught high school science and had been doing science education and outreach for years. I get science!
Yet, what I experienced in the Australian outback changed me profoundly.
A peek behind the scenes of science
The field trip was led by leading experts in geobiology, Professor Malcolm Walter and Professor Martin Van Kranendonk, and their PhD student Tara Djokic, who had all been working in the Pilbara for years studying the fossils in the rocks. Also on the field trip were two other scientists, biochemists, from the U.S. visiting the Pilbara for the first time: Dr David Deamer and Dr Bruce Damer, who both conduct lab experiments to study how life got started on Earth.
At the time, there was a general scientific consensus around one particular origin of life hypothesis: that life on Earth had started at the bottom of the ocean in hot vents that spew mineral-rich water, called ‘black smokers’.
On the other hand, Bruce and Dave had an alternative hypothesis: that life on Earth began in a “warm little pond”, as Charles Darwin had originally suggested. Their lab research led them to infer that life had begun as tiny cells assembling in freshwater hydrothermal fields — basically, in hot springs and geysers on land — not at the bottom of the ocean.
There were many discussions and friendly debates about these two hypotheses in the evenings around the crackling campfire. Both geologists and biochemists passionately describing their research, highlighting their evidence, defending their interpretations and advocating their position. But most importantly, there was great respect, a willingness to learn from each other, exchange ideas, share knowledge and experience and even work together.
I will always remember sitting on the banks of the Shaw River one afternoon. We were at one of the sites where some of the most important fossils of early life are found, which we had examined in detail that morning. We settled down while lunch simmered away on the hot coals to listen to Dave and Bruce tell us the story of our great-great-great grandparents — of how they believed the first life on Earth started in that warm little pond on land. It was incredibly enlightening, insightful and also a little bit emotional to be transported back in time, to when life began, whilst sitting at the site where this exact story may have taken place billions of years ago. (You can actually watch the recording if you're interested).
Fast forward one year to 2016 and I was sitting in a conference room in Perth, listening to Bruce give a presentation on his work — the first "end-to-end" model proposed for life's origins — the Terrestrial Origin of Life Hypothesis. This model and hypothesis is based on Bruce and Dave’s lab experiments, but also partly influenced by Martin, Malcolm and Tara’s work and the observations Bruce made on the Pilbara field trip. It was exciting to see how much the field trip had influenced Bruce and Dave’s work.
Skip ahead again nearly one more year to May 2017 and a new scientific discovery makes headlines worldwide: Charles Darwin may have been right … scientists have found evidence that microbes were living in hot springs in Western Australia 3.48 billion years ago. Tara had found a certain type of rock in the Pilbara containing geyserite — a mineral deposit that only forms in hot springs on land.
Soon after, the cover of the August 2017 edition of Scientific American features an article by Martin, Dave and Tara called Life Springs. The article talks about how deep oceans were thought to be where life on Earth started, but that new evidence points instead to active hot springs on land. It brings together the fieldwork in the Pilbara with the lab experiments and uses Dave and Bruce’s model to illustrate how life would have started in this landscape.
The conversation is changing and the consensus is being challenged.
Eyes wide open
I feel pretty lucky to have been part of this story and to have been there to witness science as it happened. If it wasn’t for this experience — this field trip to the cradle of life — I wouldn’t understand it the way I do now. NOW I get it!
I get how science is tentative, uncertain and provisional. That nothing is final and nothing is fact. There is no right answer — there is just evidence. Sometimes, there is more or stronger evidence to support a particular idea or theory that may lead to a consensus among scientists, but new evidence can throw a spanner in the works or old evidence can be reinterpreted. Evidence supports but does not prove … the word “prove” is not used by scientists.
I get how much creativity and imagination goes into the entire process of science — from beginning to end. The creativity it takes to come up with an experiment to reproduce the beginnings of life in a lab or the imagination it takes to see what the landscape may have looked like in the Pilbara 3.5 billion years ago based on the clues left behind.
I get how collaborative science can be. Scientists come together, sometimes from different fields, to discuss, debate, share and influence each other. Science is not an individual endeavour — scientists depend on each other for knowledge, expertise, feedback and even critique. Science just can’t be done in isolation.
But most importantly, I get that there is not just one linear, rigid scientific method that everyone follows — ‘the’ scientific method is a myth. Some scientists trek through fields and collect rocks to analyse later in the lab, others design intricate experiments in test tubes and petri dishes, and others create models to explain natural phenomenon. Some start with hypotheses, others with observations. Science is a diverse set of practices and fields, and there are lots of ways to do scientific research.
The way forward
Hindsight is 20-20 and I now realise how many misconceptions I had about science. You can’t really understand science unless you experience it yourself — and you don’t get that experience from high school science, or even a university undergraduate degree for that matter.
So, yes, this camping trip to the outback was enlightening. And like many life-changing trips, it clarified for me what I wanted to do with my life: change science education.
Lectures, worksheets and lab experiments that use recipe-like methods to lead students to pre-determined results just don’t reflect how science is actually done and reinforce the myths that science is rigid, linear, conclusive, absolute and uncreative. But few teachers have the training or knowledge to do things differently (I didn’t!). The only way that we can get people to understand how science is done, and perhaps improve scientific literacy, is to change the way science is taught. Science education needs to become more experiential and less transmissive — more about being involved in the process of science than about acquiring scientific knowledge. Science education should provide both young people and teachers with opportunities to actually experience what it’s like to be and think like a scientist. And that’s what I’m working on right now.
P.S. – I’m now doing my PhD with this awesome bunch of people … and it all started with this field trip.

An overview of how Day of the Seafarer 2014 was celebrated around the world for its fourth edition.
IMO - International Maritime Organisaztion
Twenty years ago the MS Estonia turned on her side and sank in the Baltic sea with 803 passengers and 186 crew aboard – 989 people in all – who needed to be rescued quickly in dangerous and dark conditions.
Reducing carbon emissions and fuel consumption is a major priority for the marine industry. According to the International Maritime Organization (IMO), shipping is a modest contributor to overall carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions as a method of transport.
World Maritime Day is celebrated every year, providing an opportunity to focus attention on the importance of shipping safety, maritime security and the marine environment and to emphasize a particular aspect of IMO’s work. Individual Governments are encouraged to mark the day, on a date of their choosing but usually in the last week of September.
Video message from IMO Secretary-General as he shares his views on this year’s theme; IMO Conventions: Effective Implementation.
MAN Diesel & Turbo has been awarded a Tier III-compatibility certificate by the DNV-GL classification society for MAN 8L21/31 four-stroke engine aboard a DFDS Seaways ship with a retrofitted SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) system.
The draft International Code of Safety for Ships using Gases or other Low flashpoint Fuels (IGF Code), along with proposed amendments to make the Code mandatory under SOLAS, were agreed by the inaugural session of the Sub-Committee on Carriage of Cargoes and Containers (CCC 1).
The Rolls-Royce brand MTU and Fairplay Towage are to test an MTU diesel genset with SCR exhaust aftertreatment in a harbour tug in order to verify compliance with IMO Tier III emission requirements that come into force as of 2016. The nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions will be cut by 90% compared with the IMO Tier I regulation that was introduced in 2000.
The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has joined the international ad hoc Ebola Travel and Transport Task Force and is working with other United Nations agencies and non-governmental organizations to monitor the situation and provide timely information in response to the outbreak of the disease.

Guinea-Bissau annually observes the public holiday of Anniversary of the Killing of Pidjiguiti on August 3 or the Pidjiguiti massacre day. This Memorial Day commemorates the victims of the Pidjiguiti massacre in 1959.
In 1956 Amilcar Cabral founded the African Party for the Independence of Guinea and Cape Verde, which was fighting for the liberation of Portuguese Guinea and Cape Verde. For three years the party was quiet, gaining support under its nonviolent banner. The first major activity, organized by the party, was a dock-workers strike for better salaries in Pijiguiti Docks, Guinea. The strike began on 3rd August 1959.
The strike was suppressed by the police. Police officers opened fire on the striking workers, killing over 50 people. This event made the leaders of the party rethink the strategies of achievement of the desired result. They concluded that the only way of achievement of independence was armed struggle, thus beginning the uprisings against Portugal.
Amilcar Cabral was depicted in 1989 banknotes of Cape Verde with the denominations ranging from 100 Cape Verdean escudos to 2,500 Cape Verdean escudos. The above note is a One Thousand Escudos banknote which depicts the portrait of Amilcar Cabral on the obverse along with a Cornstalk. The reverse depicts butterflies and Desert Locusts.

ABB has released Version 3 of its Decathlon data center infrastructure management (DCIM) system, which allows “both sides” of the data center (i.e., facilities and IT professionals) to use their preferred tools while enabling deeper collaboration among staff for maximum reliability, energy efficiency and optimal utilization of all data center assets. This latest version allows customers to keep all data completely on premise or to work in the cloud.
The newest version of Decathlon removes the barriers between facility and IT disciplines by making it possible to work from a single data set and a single operational environment, independent of the selected tool or application module. Facility managers can view, at a glance, the power availability at each component in the critical power path to determine the status of all breakers, including switchgear and distribution, UPS, transformers and PDUs — at multiple sites. With a click of the mouse, power quality events can be analyzed to determine if harmonic distortion can disrupt power distribution. This visibility helps users understand which equipment is being affected by the distortion and decide whether further action is required.
Decathlon also enables intuitive, yet granular visibility of IT systems. For example, IT managers gain instant insight of a server’s status and system performance. They can view the CPU utilization, power draw and temperature for a particular server, rack or zone.
“Our customers are free to add preferred applications, such as computerized maintenance management systems or workorder ticketing systems, from ABB or a third party. Different roles and disciplines require different views of the data center. With Decathlon, a single data set and a single operational environment reveal its true state,” explained Eric Olson, ABB Decathlon product manager.
In addition, Decathlon provides a choice for data center managers to keep their data completely on premise or push relevant data to a secure cloud for their customers to access. Decathlon is designed and built for highly secure, mission critical environments, such as power plants and data centers that could be targets for cyber-attack.
“ABB has diverse expertise with power delivery, utilities, energy management, building management, DCIM and automation,” said Olson. “All of this know-how with mission critical infrastructure is reflected in how Decathlon is designed and built.”
