Durable Powers of Attorney
A Durable Power of Attorney is a legal document that allows you to appoint another person, typically a relative, friend, or attorney, to manage your financial affairs. This person is called an agent. Although the document is signed when you are in good physical and mental health, it is often created in preparation of future failing health or mental incompetence.
Having the Durable Power of Attorney prevents a lengthy court proceeding in which the court would appoint an agent, called a conservator, and give permission to this person to engage in certain financial transactions on your behalf.
For Married Couples
A Durable Power of Attorney is an essential document — even for married couples. Even though property in the marriage may be jointly owned, the Durable Power of Attorney serves as a means of asset protection. For example, if your spouse resided in a Massachusetts nursing home, the home may seek to cover patient care expenses by tapping into assets that were not formerly protected, including jointly owned property, like real estate. Because your spouse would be unable to sign over his partial interest in the property due to his physical or mental condition, a Durable Power of Attorney can be used to transfer the real estate on his or her behalf into your name alone. This of course can be done without the involvement of Massachusetts probate courts.
Power of Attorney Restrictions
Ensure your Durable Power of Attorney will work when you need it.
Restrictions can be established in the Durable Power of Attorney to limit your agent’s authority. Additionally, certain powers and permissions need to be expressly stated like transfers to a spouse and family. The agent will work according to your instructions to delegate your assets to your loved ones and to fulfill other duties on your behalf.
Duties typically covered by a Durable Power of Attorney
- managing real estate, stocks and bonds, banking, and insurance
- tax matters
- managing retirement benefits
- estate planning
- applying for governmental benefits
- hiring or firing professionals such as accountants, attorneys, and health care managers
Effective Date for Durable Power of Attorney
A Durable Power of Attorney typically becomes effective at the time of the signing of the document. It could also become activated at a later time when you are deemed by a doctor to be mentally incapacitated, or no longer able to handle financial matters. This is called “springing”. This method is sometimes avoided due to the setbacks created by third parties, like outside family members, who may not believe you are at the point of having your financial affairs handled by another person. Once enacted, the Durable Power of Attorney can be revoked at any time, so long as you are competent at the time of revocation.
A properly drafted Durable Power of Attorney can bring you peace of mind as you establish your estate plan. It will ensure that your property and the fruits of your labor are left for your friends, family, or even organizations that have a special meaning in your life.

The Modern Language Association (MLA), the umbrella professional association of my profession, has brought the dreaded Jobs Information List (JIL) into the SPACE FUTURE OF THE FUTURE! I just got an email from my best friend Rosemary G. Feal (for reals, I just met her at a conference and she is a) very nice and b) a SPITFIRE–people, do not blame the MLA itself for every bad interview and horrible committee you ever encountered, it’s not the organization’s fault) telling us all that starting in the fall, every seeker on the JIL gets a free Interfolio account, and can apply directly to listings from the JIL, with the use of Interfolio’s services (probably still costing $4 apiece, but what do we want, a massage?!?). I think this is an absolutely fantastic idea, and I am very happy the MLA did it.
Why? This means that the life-destroying, time-sucking, soul-torturing fall ritual of applying for academic positions (more on why this is such an unpleasant process in a future post! Lucky you!) just got slightly less stressful and $20 cheaper–provided that every department that lists with MLA accepts electronic submissions.
So…now for the curse-filled invective: a preliminary note in advance to those departments who are still going to insist on getting things on paper: WHY??? Why the retrograde, pedantic exceptionalism? You want that shit on paper? PRINT IT THE FUCK OUT. I will be paying the extra postage to send dossiers the old-fashioned way with even more despondency in my heart than there usually is between the months of September and February. Please, search committees, I know you are just looking for “the best fit” (by which of course you mean: someone from the Ivy League, UCB or Chicago), but please take the psychological and emotional toll of the job market into consideration when making this decision.
So, in conclusion, congratulations to the MLA for a great development, PLEASE RECONSIDER? in advance to any department that insists on making the hardest thing most of us do every year that much harder.

When you hear the term “statute of limitations,” it is understandable that you will probably think about a long period of time, at least a few years. Perhaps creditors send you repeated notices asking you to pay overdue bills, and you may hope that the statute of limitations will run its course, and the creditors will stop pestering you. (Note: It rarely, if ever, works that way.)
The statute of limitations, which is the timeframe in which a party must take a certain action in order for that action to be legally valid, is an important factor in many court decisions. In some cases, the court will not even consider your lawsuit if you file it late. When it comes to legal recourse related to work injuries and occupational diseases, the statute of limitations for filing personal injury lawsuits is only one of the deadlines you must keep in mind. Because the circumstances vary regarding the best course of legal action regarding an occupational injury, it is a good idea to seek the advice of a personal injury lawyer as soon after your injury as possible.
Report Your Work Injury as Soon as Possible
Many work injuries require your employer to file a workers’ compensation claim, which requires you to report the injury to your employer within 30 days. If you do not report your injury to your employer, you are in a much weaker position if you later end up filing a personal injury lawsuit related to the same accidental injury. The law treats occupational diseases such as mesothelioma like workplace accidents. The clock starts on the date that you know about the doctor’s diagnoses of your occupational disease, just as it would start on the date of an injury from a motor vehicle crash.
The Statute of Limitations for Personal Injury Lawsuits in Louisiana
If you are an independent contractor instead of an employee, as an increasing number of workers are, you may have more than a workers’ compensation claim for your on-the-job injury. Independent contractors sometimes may be able to file a personal injury lawsuit against a third party when they are injured on the job. The statute of limitations for filing a personal injury lawsuit in Louisiana is one year, counting from the date of the accident.
If you are an employee rather than an independent contractor, filing a workers’ compensation claim instead of a personal injury lawsuit is often your only choice. In the event of a dispute regarding your diagnosis or treatment or the amount of compensation offered in connection to such a claim, you should contact a personal injury lawyer who deals with cases related to work injuries.
Contact Patrick Yancey About Workers’ Compensation Cases
If you have been injured on the job or developed an occupational disease, you need legal advice as well as medical advice. Contact the Law Office of Patrick H. Yancey in Houma, Louisiana to see if you have grounds for a personal injury lawsuit.

Clustering is a fundamental data analysis technique with applications in engineering, medical and biological sciences, social sciences, and economics. For example, clustering could be used to analyze a biological tissue dataset from cancer patients such that certain important cells types can be identified and separated out for further investigation. It could also be used for market research by breaking down market trends and customer habits into meaningful segments according to their shared characteristics.
Many clustering algorithms have been invented over the decades with quite varied properties, but all with the same aim of grouping similar points together and separating out dissimilar points as much as possible.
In the real world though, clusters often exist in different subspaces of a multidimensional dataset. By “existing in a subspace,” we mean that description for the cluster involves only a subset and not all of the dimensions of the data points. Consequently, checking whether a point lies within a certain cluster involves checking the values of only that subset of the dimensions.
For example, imagine clustering stars in the night sky based on measurements of their luminosity, spectral decomposition, angle from the horizon, and timestamp when the image of them was taken. A cluster of a certain type of star, say Red Dwarfs, might be discovered and be distinguished from the other stars by their color and luminosity. Since the property of being a Red Dwarf is not transient, cluster membership should not depend on the angle to the horizon nor the timestamp of the image.
For each subspace cluster, dimensions that are not included in its subspace are considered irrelevant and can be treated as noise. Traditional “full-space clustering” algorithms have difficulty in identifying these clusters since many irrelevant attributes may cause the similarity measurements used by the algorithm to become unreliable.
This observation led to the development of specialized subspace clustering algorithms. Such algorithms can generally be divided into two groups: bottom-up and top-down, based on the direction in which they search for clusters. A bottom-up subspace search strategy starts from one-dimensional subspaces and builds higher dimensional subspaces progressively, whereas a top-down search method determines the subspace of a cluster by starting from the full-dimensional space and iteratively removing irrelevant attributes. Since iterating over all possible subspaces would generate 2d candidates (where d is the number of distinct attributes), it is impractical for datasets with a reasonable number of dimensions, and thus to avoid having to perform an exhaustive search, the two search strategies utilize some criteria to prune the search space.
Our study contributed a new subspace clustering framework, which we named CSSub for “Clustering by Shared Subspaces.” The intuition for the work is to turn the normal idea of distance-based clustering upon its head. Instead of measuring the similarity between points based on their relative distance from one another, we measure the similarity based on the number of subspaces they share. But what does it mean to say that two points share a subspace?
To answer that question, we must first discuss another very common clustering technique called density-based clustering. There are many density-based clustering algorithms, with the most famous among them being an algorithm called DBScan. In these algorithms, the density of data around each point is measured – typically by counting points within a certain radius – and then datapoints in high-density regions are linked together to form clusters. Datapoints with low-density values – below a certain threshold – are discarded. In effect, those low-density points are considered unrepresentative of the data overall and treated as noise.
So what does that have to do with points sharing subspaces? Well, if while performing subspace clustering we project our dataset down to a particular subspace – by ignoring all the other dimensions – we can decide whether a point “belongs to the subspace or not” by determining whether it is high enough density in that subspace to not be discarded by a density-based clustering algorithm. Furthermore, we say that two points “share a subspace” if neither of the points is considered noise in that subspace.
Thus, our CSSub framework builds a completely new similarity measure between datapoints that depends on the number of subspaces they share and then uses this similarity measure to cluster the datapoints. This is a fundamentally different approach to subspace clustering since we are now determining the similarity between points based on the mutual agreement on the important subspaces (i.e. those in which the points are not considered noise). The effect of this approach is to explicitly splits candidate subspace selection and clustering into two separate processes, enabling different types of cluster definitions to be employed easily.
The new subspace-clustering procedure works in four stages as follows. In the first stage, it generates an initial set of (relatively) low-dimensional subspaces using strategies such as the bottom-up method. In the second stage, all points in the dataset are labeled as belonging or not to each subspace, based on their density values and – critically – a threshold value that is specific to the subspace and adaptive to the way in which the data is distributed. (The threshold is chosen to maximally characterize clusters within a subspace.) In stage 3, the similarity between pairs of datapoints computed using the Jaccard similarity, i.e. the relative frequency of agreement on “important subspaces,” and an existing clustering algorithm is employed to cluster the points. Finally, in stage 4, certain refinement methods are applied to the clusters, e.g., to find a principle subspace for each cluster.
CSSub decouples the candidate subspace selection process from the clustering process. By explicitly splitting them into independent processes, we eliminate the need to repeat the clustering step a large number of times – namely once for each subspace. (Note that for CSSub to determine which datapoints belong to each subspace, it needs only determine the density around each point in the subspace and not perform clustering over the datapoints. The effect of this approach is to provide a great deal of flexibility in CSSub, allowing for alternative importance measures (other than density thresholds) to be used for determining subspace membership and also alternative clustering methods to be employed for discovering clusters.
Thus, CSSub has the ability to detect non-redundant and non-overlapping subspace clusters directly by running a clustering method only once. In contrast, many existing subspace-clustering algorithms need to run a chosen clustering method for each subspace; this must be repeated for an exponentially large number of subspaces. As a consequence, these methods produce many redundant subspace clusters.
Through an extensive empirical evaluation on synthetic and real-world datasets, we found that CSSub significantly outperforms existing state-of-the-art subspace clustering algorithms for discovering arbitrarily subspace clusters in noisy data. In addition, CSSub has only one parameter k – the number of clusters – which needs to be manually chosen, while other parameters can be automatically set based on a heuristic method.
Like all existing subspace-clustering algorithms, CSSub is designed for low-to-medium dimensionality datasets, since generating all potential subspaces in CSSub results in exponential time complexity with respect to the dimensionality of the original data. Extending CSSub to deal with high-dimensional datasets presents an interesting future work.
These findings are described in the article entitled Grouping Points by Shared Subspaces for Effective Subspace Clustering, recently published in the journal Pattern Recognition. This work was conducted by Ye Zhu from Deakin University, Kai Ming Ting from Federation University, and Mark Carman from Monash University.

Within which, if I were to put myself, here or now. I’m not. We radiate around the outsides.
I started to question, quite regularly, the way I was relating to all things.
I play a language-game. I am playing two games with language that are related to one another but not in the way you would expect. What is the relationship between two things that function solely by their relationship to one another. It is not. And yet you still think you can be inside and outside, that the relationships within bear relation to those without. I propose we look carefully at this, maybe forever, until we’ve figured something out.
At some point I was playing a game where I submerged myself in a system only to sink right through. I became dismantled, or something did. The question was how to look at a relation. The question was sinking right through.
In New York I was so tired all the time. The weather turned quickly over three days, from being too hot to carry my suitcase up the steps to Pulaski Bridge to a gloomy seventeen degrees. On our last night I alienated a YouTube sensation. He talked about making YouTube videos like it was a real thing to do. He was from upstate New York.
I left at 6.30 in the morning to a beautiful pink sunrise, talking to the taxi driver about how neither of us could sleep. We were silent for long periods. He lived near the airport so I was his last trip that night, that morning.
Austin looked so dry compared to everywhere else I knew. I struggled with road crossings and couldn’t figure out how to get the bus to stop. Groceries were expensive and my small kitchen unit didn’t even have cutlery. I bought a knife and ate only food I could slice. I was still very tired in Austin. A week or more of jetlag. I thought everyone was my enemy. Or perceived me as theirs. I ate alone in restaurants and was silent for whole evenings. When I was less tired I would spend them reading.
The first week went slowly. After that I didn’t notice the time passing, or it passed so quickly that I couldn’t note it. I spoke to friends on Sundays. Usually while visiting the launderette. If I was speaking to somebody they would remark on the sounds, and I would tell them it was the birds screaming in the trees just outside. I didn’t know the type (the trees or the birds), but later learned the birds were grackles. I started to enjoy myself immensely.
During that first week, a new bug appeared in my room each day. I either killed or removed them, based on a snap judgment as to their deadliness. Then I tracked them down on the internet to find out what they were. (I did love to learn new things.) One night I shared my room with a mosquito and woke up covered in red lumps. The next evening I smashed the mosquito on the back of my hand. It left a red stain on my palm. I wondered if the blood was all mine. I got used to the smell of bug spray before bed, the feeling of inhaling it and the taste. Made all the worse because my windows were closed, to keep out the bugs.
One Sunday a man drove us to Lockhart, to eat barbeque. He paid for everything. I was a vegetarian, but tried the meat anyway. The whole place smelled of smoke. Greg kept quietly putting pieces of meat onto my plate, I think because he didn’t know what to say. The buildings looked so old but I didn’t know what that meant here, and there were few people out walking. The blue of the sky, nearly every day in Texas. Usually a piercing mid-blue, like highlighter ink. But that day it was so hot it was cobalt. And cloudless.
I called my friend from the bus stop on the way home. He started telling me that if somebody had a fear of commitment it meant they weren’t interested. I wasn’t sure how we had gotten onto the topic. He referred to it as a ‘home truth’. I wondered if he thought that’s what I’d been doing.
I would think about this friend at night sometimes, to the point where I would dream of him. And obviously dreams always feel unbidden. And somewhere in the dream the image mixed with wanting. Wondering whether I had long been ignoring real wanting, or had fashioned wanting out of thinking, out of a space to fill which I filled with thinking. And later, wanting. Night by night, a slow acclimatisation to an idea.
One night I dreamt I was pregnant. I wondered if it was because I was away. In the dream were all my past thoughts about the subject, which is why it felt so real. I went into the dream pregnancy thinking about whether I could keep it, and somewhere developed a new thought that I had not had in real life. That it might be my only chance to have a child. In the dream I planned to keep it. I remember it feeling very much my own body, but when I think about it now it feels so distant. My dreams were often about closeness, but never like this. Perhaps because I’d been spending time with a mother. But was I really that impressionable. All the things I was supposedly lacking, now coming at me in my sleep.
I decided I would have to draw every day, which resulted in my drawing one day. But what was it I was drawing. Loosely defined it was a relationship.
I sent an email to this friend and his scattered response made me hate him for a second. I concluded that my feelings were solely reactions to his actions. All this was was framework, the substance emptied out. Later, I conceded that this empty framework could be a defence, the hate-reaction a way of never getting to rejection. There was no way of knowing that everything else wasn’t also like this.
I went from explaining postmodern rootlessness in the German biergarten on campus to explaining that I wasn’t homesick because I had laid no foundations. At the time I didn’t realise the relation. At this point I was perhaps stuck on the concept of relationality. (The whole world seemed subsumed.) That was the night I came home and squashed the cockroach in my bathroom with a boot.
We were out and I decided I wanted to see all the rooftop bars. We made it to two. Men spoke to us. One of them managed a bakery and dog groomers’. The bakery was, in fact, for dogs. He said: ‘bad things don’t happen in Austin.’ It was the night of the shooting in San Antonio. There seemed to be a new shooting every week. When everybody else left the bar, he said: ‘it’s so hard being a guy.’ He kept showing us the same picture of the themed Halloween cookies for dogs.
One night when I couldn’t sleep I heard the plastic on the bin crackling, in a way that was different to the crackling caused by the ceiling fan. I turned on the light and saw in silhouette the cockroach crawling over the edge of the bin. It curled around the lip and was in. I put on pants and closed the bin bag, folding it down around the roach, took it outside to dispose of it. It was like smacking into a wall, the heat when I came back into the room.
The cockroaches had started to come in, and it was time to go. I would be on edge for days at a time without knowing why. I found that if I expected them constantly, they would stop appearing. For a time. I routinely checked the room whenever I came home in the evening. The stillness had broken and the temperature was erratic. Every so often there would be a warm night. There were so few people on the street, and I walked everywhere. I stopped wanting to spend time at home, so every Sunday when I didn’t see anyone I would go to this quiet bar and have a glass of white wine. One night a woman yelled at a group for smoking on the patio, and then joined their group to talk. I put some falafel in the microwave and they burned a hole in the plastic container. The room smelled very strongly of burning plastic and I was due to leave the next day.
Back home, I had seen a counsellor about disconnectedness. For her it was a refusal to connect. She said I was making excuses, like a child. She refused to see the pattern I laid out in front of her. The problem, I now knew, was that I didn’t ask enough questions. Or was forever asking the wrong ones. There are gaps, you see, she did not take seriously. These gaps, I’ve found, are difficult to understand.
Every so often someone would leave and the landscape would shift slightly. They would feel briefly disappointed, then fold back into their lives. Already before they left invariably a part of them had started leaving.
I lived every day thinking some terrible event was imminent. It was always about the relation of one person or people to another person or people. I would walk down the street and suddenly be expecting bad news, unable to shake it. Sometimes I just enjoyed the walking.
Sooner or later, something was going to have to happen. But there was something in that, not wanting a story.
Generally, people left me alone. Generally, I preferred it that way.
I moved to a new place and within a day there was an infestation of fly larvae. Tiny white worms that seemed to appear from nowhere, even though whenever my eye caught them they weren’t moving very quickly. I squashed them one by one, then curiously lifted a rug to find maybe twenty, thirty more. And more again under another rug. I probably killed over a hundred larvae that morning, one at a time. My hosts came to remove the rugs and put them out in the sunlight. The morning had been so peaceful, just reading on the porch. After applying repellent four or five wasps appeared immediately, I couldn’t get them to leave me alone. One clung to the book I had clearly coated with the stuff. Towards the end of the summer, or I guess November in Texas, wasps are attracted by sweet smells. It was the only causation I could create. I skyped with my friend who said he was going on a date. It appeared I was very attractive to insects. I washed off the repellent and went out for the evening with bare legs.
Rocky, like the movie, was sitting in a coffee shop patio, calling, one after the other, people he did not seem to know. He kept introducing himself, then explaining his connection to them. One of the recipients of a call was the daughter of someone he’d dated in the eighties. She was at a party so she couldn’t talk. He said enjoy the party and hung up.
I wanted to write an essay about archives and bodies, because it had struck me, in reading boxes of letters each day, how many of them were about illness. People wrote when they were ill, when their relatives were ill. I swear there wasn’t a single letter in which nobody was ill. As I read letters from the later years, as the archive aged, more and more people started to die. There were so many lives in these boxes and I moved through them so quickly, it became overwhelming, the accumulation of bad news. One week I got a stye, and I emailed a bunch of friends to tell them. I didn’t tell my Mom because I thought it would worry her. She was emailing me about my Dad’s dialysis procedures. I was reading the papers of an author who said she was dying of kidney dysfunction for at least ten years. I walked around my apartment staring at the floor, expecting to see parts of it wriggling.
I wanted to be so alone that my language would change, and then it did, and all I wanted was to go back.
There were these bare moments everywhere I went.
I worried I was drifting away from some people. But I understood because I was drifting away from me too.
On a bus ride home a woman sat near the front aiming and firing an imaginary shotgun. The whole twenty minutes I was on the bus, she kept lining it up and shooting. Occasionally she made the accompanying noises, sometimes speaking to her target. Bang bang you’re all dead. But mostly it seemed like just one target.
I liked it here because there was space between the buildings. You could walk up and down a strip but the places you could go into were spread out. Because I only went to these strips there were not many continuous times indoors.
I was not drawing anything and this was increasingly a problem. I wondered if in only writing about drawing I would forget how to see. If my language would change.
Two weeks after the larvae the flies started to appear. I had been writing about flies in novels. This was all the material I used to make new friends. Kafka mentioned flies in his diaries around then too. We were all of a nervous disposition. I found five dead flies by the window and could still hear buzzing. Later when I turned off the light the buzzing grew in volume. When I turned to look, five live flies. They seemed to come in fives. I doused myself in bug spray and got completely under the covers. It seemed I might suffocate from the fumes. The next day I told the story to a group. ‘I had some flies,’ I explained to the man. ‘Oh,’ he said, nodding.
At some point it became home, but I don’t know when. At some point you stop paying attention. By the time I was leaving I felt like letting people in. Perhaps I had been preparing for something.
The last few days went quickly. I bought a coffee for a man whose face was covered in blood, standing outside a Starbucks, afterwards wondering if I should have sought medical attention instead. But he was standing there bloodied, arms across his chest, asking for coffee and a hot breakfast sandwich. I wanted to help but wasn’t thinking. I left him standing there, still asking for a sandwich. Further down I crossed the street to avoid a wedding.
I started to doubt my prophetic abilities.
I met my friend in another city, tried talking about goodbyes. I was unable to articulate because the material was unclear. There was something about relating to him in certain ways because he was a man. There was something too that I said was not about him. There was an oblique reference to a feeling borne out of boredom. There was a turning away. There was a sense of being told to turn away. There was a disappointment. There was a different ending.
In New York I was back on edge after months of calm in Austin. It seemed sometimes like nothing had changed, except I was further from old friends. At other times, it seemed that everything had changed, so completely.

From concept to creation to not only a gorgeous product, but a damn fine tea ☕️Here is a look at the very beautiful branding designed and photographed by me for White Earth bespoke blends of herbal teas in big luxe apothecary jars! Bye bye boring tea boxes 👋🏻 We’ve kept the logo quite minimal with a copper bronze border. Each flavour in the essentials range has its very own hand drawn illustration and colour.
The ribbon is a long sticker designed to keep the lid secure during travel/postage! That was Liz the owners idea 💡 so smart!!

Queen Latifah is mourning the loss of her mother, Rita Owens.
The actress confirmed the news Wednesday, revealing Owens passed away after a long battle with a heart condition.
In a statement to ESSENCE, Latifah—born Dana Owens—reflected on the loss and called her mother, an educator and an art teacher, “the love of [her] life.”
“It is with a heavy heart that I share the news my mother, Rita Owens passed away today,” wrote Latifah. “Anyone that has ever met her knows what a bright light she was on this earth. She was gentle, but strong, sweet, but sassy, worldly but pragmatic, a woman of great faith and certainly the love of my life.”
“She had struggled with a heart condition for many years and her battle is now over. I am heart broken but know she is at peace,” she continued.
“Thank you for your kindness, support and respect for our privacy at this time. Much Love, Dana Owens (aka Queen Latifah), forever Rita Owens’ daughter.”
In 2016, Owens and Latifah co-starred in a PSA for the American Heart Association. Read more

I am getting used to Paris.
Don’t get me wrong, I still snap a picture almost every time I see the Eiffel Tower, and wander around my neighborhood in the evenings just to listen. The magic is not lost on me. But as I type this letter to you on the French keyboard in my office, I don’t even need to look down. This morning on the metro I didn’t have to hold onto the greasy metal pole to stable myself, because even with my headphones on I know exactly how far apart my feet need to be, exactly when to bend each knee to prevent toppling over on my Parisian neighbor on the commute. I can order coffee without getting anxious about it, or practicing 10 times outside the cafe before going in.
I’m settling in. I received my first piece of mail at my Paris address and I hung my Frida Kahlo poster next to my desk.
My work life is picking up speed. The first week or so was a bit sleepy, as everyone was returning from holiday, but now the whole team is back and on Tuesday we had a big meeting
Earlier this week there was a staff meeting for the Courier magazine where I am working at UNESCO. The team is composed of people from almost every continent and the energy is refreshing and different than anything I have ever exprienced.
We had big picture conversations about the purpose of the publication, our audience, and how we are working together to produce engaging and relevant journalism. And my editor and I shared a presentation about engagement strategies that I spent days working on. It was exciting to see the ideas being presented in front of such a big, important group, and interesting to see the ways they were perceived by people from so many different generations and backgrounds.
In between meetings and assignments, my editor divulged the location of the underground coffee shop at UNESCO. When I tried to go back later on my own, I got lost in the windowless basement hallways and had to ask for directions back to my office from three different people.
I am learning a lot about web formatting and editing and am feeling more confident every day in these tasks and others. I am also dreaming up more and better story ideas as each day passes and feel more excited about journalism than I have in a while. (This should tell you a lot considering the sad news of layoffs from Buzzfeed, HuffPost and Gannett last week.)
Outside of work, I braved my first Paris snow and considered buying a full-body parka.
I spent the evenings this week working on my cooking skills with my culinary mastermind roommates (if you know me, you know this is huge), dancing a lot, and showing this incredible city off to my cousin, Gabby, who visited from Seattle. We climbed to the top of the Arc de Triomphe on a clear day at golden hour and it was magical, and wandered through the Yves Saint Laurent Museum admiring his sketches and beautiful designs.
My time here is flying by, and I want to cherish every minute. I have been here almost a month and as I feel less and less like a tourist, it is easy to forget that I am in a magical world city. Let this serve as my commitment to continue exploring and being amazed by this city, even as I feel more and more at home.

UofL Health improves access to COVID-19 testing in south Louisville
LOUISVILLE, Ky. – UofL Health is once again expanding its COVID-19 testing. Consolidated outpatient COVID-19 testing for UofL Physicians patients will begin on Monday, May 4, at UofL Health – Mary & Elizabeth Hospital.
“We are thrilled to offer this testing in south Louisville. We are committed to making sure our patients have easy access to the testing and care they need,” said Melisa Adkins, chief administrative officer of Mary & Elizabeth Hospital. “This test site will allow patients to stay closer to home for testing instead of having to drive to the downtown or west Louisville locations.”
In March, UofL Health opened the first drive-up COVID-19 test site in Louisville at the corner of Brook and Liberty streets. Last week, UofL Health partnered with the Park DuValle Community Health Center to offer testing in west Louisville. Together, more than 1,000 patients have been tested at these two sites.
Testing at three locations is by appointment only. Patients should contact their UofL Health primary care provider directly to schedule an appointment.
“Our consolidated outpatient COVID-19 test sites have been critical in helping determine the prevalence of the virus throughout our community,” Hugh Shoff MD, chief quality officer at UofL Health. “Expanding our testing to south Louisville will allow us to test more patients and make it easier for people in that community to access testing.”
This is NOT testing for the general public. This is to improve access to testing for our patients and to centralize the process and reduce the PPE and clinic burden. The following guidelines are being considered by providers:
- If they are overall healthy with mild symptoms, providers will advise that they stay home and self-quarantine per the CDC guidelines.
- If they are a high-risk patient (COPD, diabetes, heart disease) with symptoms (fever, new cough, new shortness of breath, chills, fatigue) OR a high-risk patient with direct contact with a COVID-19 positive patient, the provider may call the Testing Triage Line to schedule an appointment at the consolidated testing site.
- If they are having worsening symptoms, are unable to care for their symptoms at home, or there are concerns regarding their disease process, providers may schedule to see them via telehealth or, if it is an emergency, the patient should go to the Emergency Department or call 911.
UofL Health patients scheduled for upcoming surgical procedures will also utilize these sites, as part of Kentucky’s pre-procedure directives.
A limited number of tests are available per day. Patients must be referred to the test site by a provider and an appointment will be scheduled.
UofL Health plans to continue to expand its COVID-19 test sites to additional locations within the next couple of weeks.
About UofL Health – Mary & Elizabeth Hospital
Mary & Elizabeth Hospital, part of UofL Health, is a 298-bed, full-service hospital. The hospital offers a full range of vascular, orthopedic, cardiac, neurological, surgical, rehabilitative and 24/7 emergency services. Mary & Elizabeth Hospital is also home to Bariatric Care, the region’s only weight-loss management program utilizing the Lap-Band® System. In addition, the hospital provides the Orbera Gastric Balloon procedure. The hospital has been recognized as one of the first health care facilities in the nation to receive a Blue Distinction® Center for Bariatric Surgery. The hospital also includes a Healthy Lifestyle Center. The hospital was initially founded by the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth in 1874.

The centriole is the core structure of centrosome and cilium. Failure to restrict centriole duplication to once per cell cycle has serious consequences and is commonly observed in cancer. Despite its medical importance, the mechanism of centriole formation is poorly understood. Asl was previously reported to be a centrosomal protein essential for centrosome function. Here we identify mecD, a severe loss-of-function allele of the asl gene, and demonstrate that it is required for centriole and cilia formation. Similarly, Cep152, the Asl ortholog in vertebrates, is essential for cilia formation and its function can be partially rescued by the Drosophila Asl. The study of Asl localization suggests that it is closely associated with the centriole wall, but is not part of the centriole structure. By analyzing the biogenesis of centrosomes in cells depleted of Asl, we found that, while pericentriolar material (PCM) function is mildly affected, Asl is essential for daughter centriole formation. The clear absence of several centriolar markers in mecD mutants suggests that Asl is critical early in centriole duplication.

Virginia Tech had success at Halifax County High School (VA) in the 2007 class, landing a verbal commitment from speedy wide receiver Patrick Terry. The Hokies are going back to Halifax for the 2008 class in hopes of landing the star of the Comets defense.
Virginia Tech recently offered 6-1, 240-pound junior linebacker Allen Stephens.
“I talked to Coach Stinespring,” said Stephens, who has also drawn early interest from Boston College, Duke, Georgia Tech, Maryland, Penn State, UVa and West Virginia. “The first time I met him he came to see another football player at our school. The second time he came, he offered me a scholarship. They have sent me a letter saying I have a scholarship.”
Though he did not have a childhood favorite in terms of college football programs, Stephens does now have high interest in the Hokies.
“I didn’t have a favorite school coming up, but as I got older I noticed that Virginia Tech has a real good defense,” Stephens said. “I want to go there because people from Halifax are up there. My family and other people here can come see me play.
“I really want to go to Tech, but I’m not really there yet to make a commitment. I’d say that’s probably where I’ll end up.”
UVa is showing early interest as well, though Stephens is not sure if an offer will come. He and some other teammates attended UVa’s team camp last summer.
Stephens turned in a standout 2006 season at middle linebacker, earning Western Valley district Defensive Player of the Year honors for his efforts. He also earned first-team all-district and first-team all-region honors in helping his team to an 8-3 overall record.
“I’m 6-1, 240 pounds, and I play middle linebacker. I did good last season. I had 157 tackles. My coaches play me as a sideline to sideline player. I always start out on the wide side of the field. I’m more of a run-stopper right now, but I’m working on my pass drops and everything,” said Stephens, who was played on the varsity level since he was a freshman. He started out at defensive end and moved to linebacker two games into his sophomore season.
A good athlete, Stephens, who says he has been hand-timed at 4.59 seconds in the 40-yard dash, also plays basketball and baseball. In addition to playing other sports, he will be lifting weights and preparing for his senior football season.

The Christmas rush seems to be over for me-so yay! I have time to do things again-but also nooo because I was wondering just how many orders I’d get and wasn’t quite ready for all the fun to stop. But I had a fabulous month, my best yet on Etsy, so this isn’t complaining. Not really. Maybe a little. Anyway.
Since the cha-chings have stopped I decided to revamp my studio, something it’s been needing for quite awhile. I’m going to expand more into leatherworking, possibly sewing, and for sure more arm-knitting, so I needed to utilize my storage space much better than I have been. I’m also adding more storage shelves in January.
This is what it all looked like before:
This was taken after a shipping spree so EVERYTHING was out and about. I knew I needed a shipping station because I could never find anything … not what you want happening when you’ve got a pile of orders to get out:)
And this is what it looks like right now. Still cramped, but it will always look like that-I need to see what I have to work with. I made my green desk my shipping station so hopefully shipping supplies will stay in one spot (that remains to be seen!).
I also put up more artwork, went through old artwork, discovered things I thought I had lost, and was delighted to find supplies I didn’t know I had (saving money!!!). I know it’ll get messy again as soon as I launch into another project but for now I’m reveling in my organized studio.
What have you been up to, my friends?
And as always,

How to Select a Treatment Facility for Hydrocodone Addiction
According to the American Psychiatric Association, the following are some of the elements of addiction that need to be considered during treatment and when choosing a facility.
- Addiction is a complex brain disease
- Compulsive drug use characterizes addiction, even when negative effects result from that use
- The use of drugs affects behavior and ultimately takes over a person’s life
- Exposure to substances change the brain’s wiring and functionality
Before someone can seek out a hydrocodone facility for treatment, they first need to recognize a problem exists. This can often occur through an intervention from family and loved ones, although not always.
According to the American Psychiatric Association, it’s often the case that multiple types of treatment are needed because of the complexity of addiction. A combination of medication and both group and individual therapy may be used at an addiction treatment facility, for example.
Speak to an Addiction Specialist Now
The Steps of Treating an Addiction to Hydrocodone:
For most people with a hydrocodone addiction, there are a series of treatment steps that are followed. Most people who do have an addiction to opioids tend to have a severe addiction, because of the nature of these drugs and how they affect the brain.
The following may be some of the steps that are required to treat a hydrocodone addiction:
- First, a person may go through a medical detox process as the hydrocodone is eliminated from their system.
- Following a medical detox, a patient may begin residential rehab, which requires them to sleep in the treatment facility for a period of time.
- Once someone has stabilized and their treatment team feels they’re ready, they may move into a lower level of treatment such as a partial hospitalization program or PHP.
- Once someone completes the intensive treatment of a PHP, they may begin outpatient rehab or participate in something like Narcotics Anonymous, which is a 12-step program.
The Path to Recovery
Regardless of the specifics of a rehab program and whether it is in an inpatient or outpatient setting, it should do the following:
- Hydrocodone rehab should help someone with an addiction to stop compulsively using and seeking drugs, but it should also help them return to their daily life in a productive, contributing way.
- Rehab needs to address the complexity of addiction and the fact that it is a chronic disorder that can include relapses.
- Hydrocodone rehab should be evidence-based. It may include different types of behavioral therapy, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy. It may also include medication, and some programs can include both.
- Many hydrocodone rehab programs use individual and group therapy. Group therapy is beneficial because it creates a sense of support and shared experiences, as well as accountability.
- Addiction treatment plans need to be highly individualized to the needs of the specific person.
- The whole person should be treated during hydrocodone rehab. It’s not just about their drug use. For example, if they have co-occurring mental health disorders, these should be identified and treated during rehab, as should physical health concerns. If someone is addicted to multiple substances simultaneously, this needs to be appropriately addressed during hydrocodone rehab.
Signs Someone Needs a Rehab for Opioids
The following are signs a person could be addicted to hydrocodone and could benefit from an inpatient rehab program:
- Trying to cut down on the amount of hydrocodone used or stop using altogether, but not being able to
- Continuing to use hydrocodone even when there are negative side effects or consequences
- Hydrocodone usage becomes a top focus and priority
Benefits of an Inpatient/Residential Hydrocodone Rehab
Inpatient rehab has many benefits for people who are struggling with addiction. Some of the benefits of inpatient rehab for hydrocodone addiction can include:
- Patients can start the treatment process in an environment that’s very supervised, structured and supported. This is important because often when people initially start treatment, they may be coming from a chaotic environment or one that didn’t offer a lot of structure.
- Inpatient rehab allows for patients to feel supported not only by the staff of the treatment center but also by other patients.
- Addiction isn’t a disease that’s just about the use of drugs like hydrocodone. Addiction affects the brain, physical health and social elements of a person’s life. There are also many complex contributing factors that can play a role in addiction. An inpatient rehab provides the opportunity for intensive, holistic and comprehensive treatment that a patient might not be able to have access to in an outpatient program.
- When someone has complicating factors such as simultaneous addictions to multiple substances or co-occurring disorders, they can receive specialized treatment at an inpatient facility.
- Being in inpatient rehab allows for patients to be removed from stressful triggers that could lead them to relapse. They can develop coping mechanisms and learn valuable skills for dealing with stress before they’re re-exposed to these elements in their daily lives.
- Most inpatient rehabs allow patients to leave their hometown and even their state for care. This is beneficial. It can change the perspective of the person, and remove them from the people and situations where they were using drugs.
Choosing Residential Rehab for Hydrocodone
Choosing a residential rehab for hydrocodone addiction can seem overwhelming. It’s important to choose a high-quality facility that treats patients compassionately but also based on evidence and research.
The more comfortable someone is in rehab, the more likely they are to be engaged in rehab. Engagement is important to ensure someone stays in treatment for long enough, and also that they derive the most value from treatment.
While the list certainly isn’t exhaustive, the following are some key considerations to keep in mind in the process of selecting a residential addiction treatment program:
- Is it licensed and accredited? What are the credentials of not only the residential treatment facility as a whole but also the individual staff members?
- How much will residential treatment cost, what are the payment options, and does the center take private insurance?
- How long would a typical treatment program last for someone dealing with an addiction to hydrocodone?
- Does the patient’s family play an important role in the treatment process? Are they involved in therapy and are there supportive services offered to them?
- Will the residential treatment program require you or your loved one to travel out of state? Will this be beneficial or would it be unmanageable?
- What is the specific approach used for addiction treatment? For example is the recovery philosophy based on the 12 steps?
- Is dual diagnosis treatment available for co-occurring mental health disorders?
How Do You Prepare for Treatment?
When a person goes to residential treatment for hydrocodone or any other addiction, it is a big step. Going to residential treatment, regardless of the specifics, requires that patients leave their daily life. There are benefits to this, including the ability to fully commit to residential treatment and make that your primary focus.
It is important that a person does try to change their mindset so that they are ready to stay for the duration of treatment. Staying in treatment for an adequate amount of time is one of the key determining factors related to the successful outcomes of the program.
It’s also a good idea to choose a residential treatment program that includes medical detox. Withdrawal symptoms from hydrocodone can be one of the biggest deterrents to someone seeking to stay in treatment.
With a medical detox, it’s easier to overcome the discomfort, and it increases the likelihood of staying committed to the program.
What is a Hydrocodone PHP?
If someone has an addiction to hydrocodone, they may start with a partial hospitalization program for treatment or they may go to a PHP as an intermediary after inpatient rehab and before outpatient treatment.
A partial hospitalization program is also called day treatment. Day treatment requires a significant time commitment, and it’s structured much like inpatient rehab. The only real difference between day treatment and inpatient rehab is that patients can return home in the evenings, or to their sober living facility.
A typical time commitment for a PHP would be eight hours a day, five or six days a week. There is still a level of freedom to come and go in the evenings, and on the weekends, so someone has to be ready to remain accountable during that time.

An Overview of Outpatient Rehab
Outpatient rehab is a very broad term. Outpatient rehab can refer to any number of different types of treatment.
For example, it can be a drug education group or group counseling. Outpatient rehab may take place during one-on-one counseling sessions, it may be court-ordered, or there are intensive outpatient rehabs offered by many addiction treatment centers.
Regardless of the specifics of the outpatient rehab program, the following are some of the general features of this type of addiction treatment:
- Outpatient rehab is fairly informal as compared to other types of addiction treatment. Patients aren’t required to check into a facility, and other than being expected to participate in weekly sessions, they may not be required to do anything else.
- Outpatient rehab might also include medication management in some cases.
- Some outpatient rehabs may require regular drug testing as part of participation, particularly if it’s part of a court-ordered program.
- Some outpatient rehabs are only focused on either group or individual therapy, while others include a combination of both.
- There is a lot of overall flexibility regarding the time commitments and schedules that come with outpatient rehab.
The Pros and Cons of Outpatient Hydrocodone Rehab
As with any treatment plan, there are both pros and cons of outpatient care for hydrocodone addiction.
Some of the benefits of outpatient rehab for hydrocodone include:
- Participants can continue going to work or school as normal. This alleviates the stress of leaving home and responsibilities.
- Along with work and school, outpatient rehab can be a good option for someone with children or family commitments that they can’t be away from during rehab.
- Outpatient rehab is less expensive than more intensive treatment programs including inpatient rehab and partial hospitalization.
- There is flexibility that’s part of outpatient rehab so it can be centered around the needs of the individual participant.
There are possible downsides to outpatient hydrocodone rehab as well. These can include:
- If someone isn’t ready for the freedom of outpatient rehab, they may be more likely to relapse.
- It can be more difficult to provide holistic care than an inpatient program.
- Outpatient rehab may not be intensive enough to treat an addiction that’s diagnosed as moderate or severe.
- It can be problematic if someone is returning home to a chaotic environment or one that facilitates the continued use of opioids.
Types of Therapy Used in Outpatient Rehab
While every program and individual treatment plan is going to have some differences, there are some types of therapy commonly used in outpatient addiction rehab. These can include:
- Behavioral therapy: The objective of Behavioral therapy is to help change people’s behaviors. However, behavioral therapy on its own may not be sufficient to help with addiction, so it’s often combined with what’s called cognitive therapy. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps treat addiction by looking at motivations, beliefs, and attitudes, and then linking them with behavior.
- Group therapy: Group therapy is a very common part of outpatient rehab. Group therapy can be similar to a 12-step program, and some people consider 12-step programs like Narcotics Anonymous to be a type of outpatient rehab. Group therapy allows people to have social support, see different perspectives and also to feel a sense of accountability.
- Individual therapy: Individual therapy and counseling can focus on more specialized areas of a person’s life and their addiction. For example, during individual therapy, it may be possible to look at childhood or past traumas that might have contributed to a hydrocodone addiction.
- Family therapy and couples counseling: Addiction of any kind heavily impacts loved ones of the person who has the addiction. Family therapy and couples counseling can be an integral part of an outpatient rehab program.
Types of Outpatient Rehab Programs
The following are some of the different types of outpatient rehab that might be used if someone has an addiction to hydrocodone or other prescription drugs.
A day program is essentially the same thing as partial hospitalization. These programs are often grouped into their own category because they are very similar to residential rehab, but technically they are outpatient since participants don’t have to spend the night at the treatment facility.
Day programs require a commitment of around eight hours a day, most days of the week. Then, patients can return to their home or their sober living facility at the end of treatment each day.
Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP)
Intensive outpatient programs require a commitment of around three hours a day, several days a week. The intensity of treatment is lower than partial hospitalization, but it’s more intensive than other forms of outpatient rehab.
Aftercare treatment plans are often made when someone seeks inpatient rehab. The staff of treatment centers will usually put together an aftercare plan that can continue for the foreseeable future since addiction treatment is a long-term process.
Aftercare treatment and planning can include long-term follow-up from the rehab facility, counseling, and participation in support and recovery groups.

Hydrocodone PHP vs. Intensive Outpatient Treatment
One question that people often have regarding a partial hospitalization program for hydrocodone addiction is how it differs from outpatient treatment, and in particular, intensive outpatient treatment.
A PHP is much more time-consuming and intensive even than an intensive outpatient treatment program.
A PHP requires an all-day commitment almost every day of the week. Intensive outpatient treatment is usually only a few hours a day, three or four days a week. Someone who is in an intensive outpatient program may be able to continue going to school or work, whereas this wouldn’t typically be possible with a PHP.
Hydrocodone Sober House
Along with inpatient rehab, another form of residential addiction treatment is a sober house. These are also called sober living houses or halfway houses. Typically, if someone has a severe addiction, they may move into a sober house after they complete inpatient rehab.
This is a transitional stage in the treatment process, and it’s a good way for people to re-learn how to live on their own without opioids.
There are rules and guidelines to staying in a sober living house. For example, there may be curfews, and of course, no drugs or alcohol can be used. However, people do have the freedom to come and go on their own, as opposed to what happens during inpatient rehab. Most sober houses are also based on 12-step programs.
When someone is looking for a rehab program for hydrocodone addiction, they often wonder where 12-step programs might fit in. 12-step programs include Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous. These programs are considered self-help and support groups.
During rehab, 12-step programs are often used as a framework for group therapy. This helps people feel supported while they’re in rehab, and it also helps them transition into a local 12-step program once they return home after rehab. 12-step programs are considered a valuable part of addiction treatment both during rehab, and in the long-term to maintain recovery.
Will You Lose Your Job During Rehab?
If there is concern about job loss while in residential rehab for hydrocodone, there are protections in place to prevent this from happening. For example, the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) both cover people in certain situations that are associated with going to rehab.
How Do You Pay for Residential Rehab?
Along with the physical discomfort of withdrawal, another big concern that often serves as a barrier to someone receiving treatment is the cost of residential rehab. Rehab can be expensive since all of your daily needs are provided along with intensive treatment. However, that shouldn’t be a deterrent.
Most insurance plans cover some or all of the cost of residential rehab, and there are other flexible payment options available as well.

Bend Roofing Service has the most experienced roofers in the business. We pride ourselves in quality craftsmanship creating an outstanding roof that is long-lasting, attractive and reasonably priced.
Our estimates are rock-solid. We will explain each step of the process and provide as many options as possible. The needs of our customers are our number one priority.
A sound and water-tight roof is more than just nailing on a few shingles. Your roof is a system that works collectively to keep your home dry and protected from the elements as well as give your home additional curb appeal.
Many times a roof leak occurs due to movement or failure of the roof decking or supports. A sound structural deck must be in place to support the roof covering.
When replacing an existing roof, it is important to thoroughly inspect the deck surface for loose nailing, improper joints and connections, or evidence of wood rot or deterioration.
Sometimes plywood sheathing was applied years ago and has since deteriorated. We will replace any damaged decking if needed and restore the integrity of your substructure.
Second, proper installation of roofing underlayment: the application of ice and water shield as per code (24" inside weight bearing wall as well as any areas that could be suspect to holding larger than normal volumes of snow or water), the felt or comparable underlayment product should be uniform and smooth.
Prior to installing shingles, Bend Roofing Service installs NEW roofing underlayment over your entire roof. (Protecting your shingle warranty, complying with all manufacturers recommendations and code)
With new construction comes many decisions that affect the final design of your home. Choosing the correct color and style of roofing will require consideration of your home final look, the weather, your budget and the maintenance needs of the materials.

By Hari Nanthakumar
In the common and just slightly overused film representation of cavemen, our ancestors gaze at the bright, fluttering, and stupidly majestic light of fire with expressions of varying combinations of amazement, fear, and confusion, and all with an infinite curiosity that often leads to Hollywood’s idea of a well-thought-out joke—charred hair and soot-covered skin. Having higher intelligence and sophistication (or so we think), we might laugh at our foolish predecessors, who were amazed and befuddled by something as ordinary and simple as light. The closest we seem to get to that same feeling of awe in the face of light nowadays is staring at the bright lights of Butler Library late at night with sleep-drunk and beautifully clueless minds.
However, a change is brewing. Recent developments in the use of light to revolutionize materials and products are beginning to bring out that same feeling of exhilaration and awe that our ancestors felt so many years ago.
Just last year, Adidas, together with the startup Carbon, released the Futurecraft 4D, a sneaker manufactured through Digital Light Synthesis (DLS). It seems a little wild, but this essentially means that the sneaker was carved out by light. In DLS, an ultraviolet light is used to harden a photocurable polymer resin, a liquid solution that is reactive to light, within minutes. By projecting an image of the shoe onto the mixture, thereby controlling which parts of the resin harden, the light very quickly chisels out the structure of the shoe, leaving its structure surrounded by a solution of uncured resin. The structure is then baked, leaving the fully-functional prototype of a shoe.
This is the first time that such a method has been used to manufacture shoes. Previously, three-dimensional printing had been used to create certain components of footwear, but the finished product still required more traditional methods such as molding, which can take as long as a month. The necessary additional processes severely extended the time needed to advance new innovations and versions.
DLS changes this. Digital light allows the creation of several new, specially tailored versions within a single day, advancing the landscape of the footwear manufacturing process for years to come. The incredible flexibility in changing the projections of light that can be produced gives manufacturers the unique ability to easily influence the architecture of the shoe. It opens up a future in which shoes are made to beautifully and perfectly fit everyone’s feet and to suit their specific tasks—from running to daily life—with the entire process of design-to-product lasting a matter of minutes. And as the process becomes more common and more cost-efficient, footwear made out of light will be everywhere.
This is not the first revolutionary product to come out of simple light.
In 2015, Boeing, in partnership with HRL Laboratories, revealed the lightest metal in the world, created using a similar light-based manufacturing process. Using a UV light array projecting ordered rays into a polymer resin, Boeing and HRL created a micro-lattice structure that was electroplated with nickel. The polymer was then dissolved away with acid, revealing an ultralight, hollow metallic microlattice that was 99.99% air, lightweight enough to sit comfortably on a dandelion. However, this metal is not just any weak gimp. The lattice structure maintains the metal’s strength, allowing it strong elasticity and energy-absorption properties. Because of its ultralight and strong nature, the nickel micro-lattice can be incorporated in next-generation aircraft, making components that create the potential for large bounds in the search for fuel and waste efficiency.
The uses of the metal do not simply stop at creating ultralight and strong structural components. Applications by HRL of the micro-lattice’s energy absorption have been extended to use in football helmets for energy dissipation in collisions, providing progress on the issue of concussions, which have been threatening the game of football since people have become increasingly wary of the dangers of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE).
Enough? No, the uses of these light-based structures have been further squeezed for even more applications. J. Bauer’s study of glassy carbon nanolattices demonstrated that pyrolysis can burn these structures into nanolattices that approach strengths that haven’t been seen before.
Using light-based methods to create these wonderful, little structures opens up the unimaginable ability to influence the structure’s architecture and nature for specific and tailored purposes. Creation through light will soon influence the development of aircraft, football helmets, and shoes with the possibilities being open to much, much more. It is just beginning. We will look aghast, amazed, confused, and a little overjoyed at the transformations caused by light-based manufacturing processes. Through it all, we will let our inner cavemen out, and be proud of it as we gaze at the true magnificence of light.

We had a very good showing at Hamilton winning champion and reserve champion fine merino ram, champion fine poll merino ram and reserve champion super fine ram.
The champion fine wool sold the next day making $6000 as well the reserve champion super fine sold for $5000 with us selling five rams to average $4800.
Congratulation to Rosevale ridge, team of Bruce, Maryanne, Sean and Leila McDougall on winning Elders southern clip of the year they are clients of Coryule merino.
Well done to Sean he classed their own clip which was of 8 months wool growth 75 to 80mm long and 45 plus newtons per kilotex of strength.

With the Tokyo Olympics happening this summer, the spotlight is firmly on Japan.
For starters, I’m looking forward to the V&A’sKimono: Kyoto to Catwalk exhibition, which opens on 29th February. With its vast archives, this is the kind of exhibition the V&A does really well, time travelling from rare 17th and 18th century kimono to contemporary streetwear via Kawakubo and Galliano – that’s got be good!
Meanwhile, Sunspel is also feeling the Japan love this spring, collaborating with three contemporary Japanese brands – 45R, N.Hoolywood and Beams – on a capsule collection of men’s and womenswear. I like this 45R interpretation of the Sunspel Sun and Cloud logo, using an indigo dye cloud placement on a white cotton tee (below). All products will be available in Sunspel*shops and online from 7th March. (more…)
I’m already bored of all the decade in review articles; I much prefer looking forward.
We’re going to see a big shift in travel according to How To Spend It, with ‘high slow’ focusing on deep, meaningful, journeys rather than far flung jet-setting for the sake of showing off. I love this picture of a Prior Nomadic Clubhouse at Ahilya Fort in Maheshwar, India. It’s an example of the appetite for understanding the essence of a destination and taking the time to appreciate and support it.
As a die-hard city princess girl who’s never embraced camping, I’m also intrigued by Hipcamp, dubbed ‘the Airbnb of the Outdoors’. (more…)
Designed by New York City firm Stonehill Taylor, they boast Knoll furniture, rotary phones, special TWA toiletries, and custom-built not-so-mini bars stocked with Moët & Chandon Imperial Brut Champagne, Hennessy V.S.O.P Privilège Cognac and Belvedere Vodka (can of Tab not included).
Plus a view onto JFK’s runways and the historic TWA Flight Centre. (more…)
With the spotlight on Paris, now is a good time to talk about the Fondation Louis Vuitton. This spectacular gift to Paris opened at the end of last year and I got my first look a few weeks ago on a whirlwind trip to the city with Who’s Next.
So what exactly is the Fondation Louis Vuitton? (more…)

Online communities continue to grow and prosper as the capabilities of social sites and software platforms continue to advance. I received an email from a student in France who asked:
I would like information on the products you offer in mass flow measurement for fuel gases. What measuring devices do you have in your product portfolio that would give the following as outputs: mass flow, compressibility factor, isentropic coefficient, maybe also volumetric flow. The measurement device should work within these ranges: piping size 6 to 10 inch massflow 0 to 20 kg/s temperature 0 to 200 degC pressure 0 to 60 bar
I knew that the Micro Motion Online Community would be a good place to post this question and see what guidance members of the community might have. Emerson’s Tom O’Banion, a chemical industry marketing director for the Micro Motion team, posted a great reply. I’ll highlight the main portions from his response [hyperlinks added]:
We have several flow divisions, which offer technologies such as Coriolis, Vortex, dP flow, as well as Turbine and Ultrasonic (the last two through our Daniel division). As well, we have an Analytical division that offers Gas Chromatographs.
Which technology we’d recommend depends on the goals of the application.
I work for the Coriolis division and am very experienced in gas flow measurement.
What we offer is a line of Coriolis meters from around 3 mm to line sizes exceeding 14″ (350 mm). Their accuracy and turndown are a function of flow rate and operating pressure. Generally, with an operating pressure above 30 bar, we can offer a superb turndown of 20:1 or better and typical mass flow accuracies of 0.35% of rate. For specific conditions, a sizing is done, and a unique size meter is chosen. This is similar for Vortex (volume flow) and dP (various primary elements such as orifice plates, venturis, averaging pitot tubes, etc). dP is easier to vary the primary element size, as it fits “inside” the pipe vs. being a meter body.
The flowmeters don’t offer compressibility factor or isentropic coefficient (these require a GC). Coriolis doesn’t need these variables for flow. You may need them for other purposes. Coriolis has these advantages on Fuel Gas:
- Mass flow is not sensitive to composition changes
- Coriolis does not have flow effects from elbows and swirl, so requires no straight run
- Measures mass flow directly, so no PVT corrections
- IF the standard density is known (for Fuel Gas, requires knowledge of the composition) we can configure the mass measurement into a volumetric output (e.g. NM3/hr or scfm)
- Generally very wide useable range
- Ability to handle 60 bar and 200 deg C conditions
Moving this exchange out from the confines of emails into online communities provides the opportunity for the next person with similar questions to discover this thread through search and add his or her perspectives. It’s definitely a communications trend headed in the right direction!

Medication of the elderly
Medication for the elderly
As people grow older, they often develop long-term illnesses that require medicinal treatment. Therefore, you may be taking several different medicines. When planned well, taking several medicines can be safe. You should make a list of your medication – remember to also include any over-the-counter medicine and natural remedies you use. When visiting healthcare, show the medication list to the professional treating you. With the help of the list, they can assess whether your medication is in order and whether a possible new medicine fits in your current medicinal treatment plan.
As you age, your body grows older and the effects of medicines may change. A previously suitable medicine may no longer be the best option. Even medicines that have been in use for a long time may develop new adverse effects. For the elderly, adverse effects typically include dizziness, muscle weakness, dry mouth, constipation, wooziness and tiredness. Therefore, you should monitor the effects your medication has and how you feel. Tell your doctor or pharmacist about the changes you have observed. Healthcare professionals can advise you on how to safely arrange your medication, which medicines are suitable and what is the right dose for each of them.
To make sure your medicinal treatment goes as planned, you can:
- keep an up-to-date list of your medication. Record the name, dose and purpose of the medicine in the list. In addition to prescription medicines, also include any over-the-counter medicines and natural remedicies in the list. You can write a list on paper by hand or use online templates and mobile phone programs made specially for this purpose.
- monitor your illness regularly yourself by measuring your blood pressure and blood sugar, for example. It is also important to check your weight regularly.
- visit a doctor regularly. Always give your medication list to your doctor and ask them to assess your medication as a whole. If you have adverse effects to some medicine or if the effect of the medicine has changed, please inform your doctor.
- ask for help in managing your medicinal treatment when needed. Healthcare professionals can assess your medication together. However, there is no need to assess medicinal treatment every year – it is needed only if you experience problems with your medication, or if your doctor suggests that it should be reassessed. It is therefore important to tell a doctor if you are facing problems with medicines.
- remember to renew your prescriptions in time before picking up new packages.

One of Virginia's great cultural attractions is found among the rolling hills of Meadowlark Botanical Gardens. The Korean Bell Garden, installed in May of 2011, serves as a cultural landmark for Korean Americans and is the only one of its kind in the entire Western Hemisphere. It is also the only public Korean Bell Pavilion on the entire East Coast. According to an old saying in Korea, "A bell implants a righteous spirit and gives a rise to a hope and a cherished desire in a person, alarms people against a disaster and gathers people for a united action, in order to bring prosperity, happiness, friendship, freedom and peace for the people." Meadowlark Botanical Gardens is open year-round but operating hours change with the season. Visit their website for a complete list of operating hours and entrance fees.
1. One-of-a-Kind Cultural Icon
Meadowlark's concept for its bell garden is unique because it places one of those traditional bell pavilions in a garden that is overflowing with associated cultural icons. The bell in place, weighing in at three tons, was hand-crafted by Korean artisans and created by Kwangsik Won (considered a National Treasure by the South Korean government). It is globally unique in its design of combining images of nature (plants, animals, birds) from both Korea and Virginia. Please plan a trip to the garden to see the expert craftsmanship of the pavilion, the simplicity of the landscape and the breathtaking view of the rest of the gardens.
2. Celebrating Nature
Traditional Korean gardens are influenced by several different themes, including yin-yang, the Five Elements, feng shui, and other meditative mediums. These beliefs have taught Koreans as a culture to revere nature and celebrate its effects on the human condition. The bell pavilions have been built for hundreds of years as focal points for gatherings that celebrate the natural world, friendship, and community. The Korean Bell Garden fits perfectly within the surrounding beauty, conservation, education and discovery which flourish throughout the year at Meadowlark Botanical Gardens, a 95 acre complex of large ornamental display gardens and unique native plant collections.
3. A Grand Pavilion
Of the typical Korean traditional architectures that have been utilized for thousands of years, some of the most beautiful and biggest are the historical Korean traditional pavilions. The Korean traditional pavilions (including the one at Meadowlark) is built without using nails. Instead, it is carefully crafted so all the pieces fit together. The Korean traditional pavilions are made of wood and last about a hundred years. Each traditional roof tile on the pavilion is handcrafted by hwangto, or ocher, a type of clay made of yellow mud.
4. Totem Poles
Usually presented as a pair (Meadowlark has four) "jangseung", or Korean traditional totem poles, were erected to protect Korean villages again evil spirits, fire or other disasters and to be worshipped as village guardian deities. Though the origin of jangseung is not clear, they might go back to the presistoric age when people resided near trees or rocks. Placed at the edges of villages, the jangseung typically marked the village boundaries and were used as mileposts. It was also not unusual for village womenfolk to pray to janseung for a male child. In addition to the main janseung, commonly other old janseung would be standing around them. That's because old ones were not taken away when the new ones replaced them.
5. Bell of Peace and Harmony
The Bell of Peace and Harmony that resides in the pavilion commemorates the equality, opportunity, and freedom Korean immigrants have found in the United States. It is 2.18 meters high and weighs 3 tons. The ten traditional symbols of longevity (sun, mountain, water, cloud, stone, pine tree, white crane, turtle, mushroom of immortality, and deer) are engraved on the bell along with the Rose of Sharon (the national flower of Korea) and the Dogwood (flower of Virginia). The words "Peace and Harmony" are engraved on the bell, signifying the peace and harmony that exists between all the people in our multicultural community.
6. Korean Symbolism
There are many historical structures in the Korean Bell Garden as well. You'll find symbolic statues called Dol Hareubangs, which are carved from volcanic rock and serve as gatekeepers and protectors. A Flower Wall, which depicts the four seasons: spring, summer, autumn, and winter. On the bell garden's flower wall you find that an apricot represents spring, the orchid represents summer, the chrysanthemum represents autumn, and the pine tree represents winter. Also within the garden you'll find a wall that includes the ten symbols of longevity (sun, mountain, water, cloud, stone, pine tree, white crane, turtle, mushroom of immortality, and deer), and carvings of the Hangul (the Korean alphabet).

New research from the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) contains some startling facts about the scale of commercial disputes and their effect on the economy. Disputes cost small businesses in England and Wales at least £11.6bn a year. Perhaps not surprisingly, nearly 72 per cent of small business legal problems relate to late or non-payment issues.
The FSB report, ‘Tied Up: Unravelling the dispute resolution process for small firms,’ shows that 70 per cent of small enterprises have faced at least one dispute in recent years, with the amount in contention on average £18,000. However, that’s not all; it can cost a further £17,000 to deal with and resolve the problem.
Needless to say, these disputes can have devastating effects on business operations, ranging from cash-flow difficulties right up to insolvency. When tackling the problem, 43 per cent of firms say they use an informal approach, 8 per cent opt for alternative dispute resolution, whilst 19 per cent resort to the civil courts to get redress. What is clear according to the report, is that compared to larger businesses, smaller firms are not well equipped to deal with the problem on top of the day to day stresses and strains of sustaining and growing their business. What’s more, the cost of disputes can often divert funds away from other important objectives, like investing for growth or taking on new staff.
What everybody would doubtless like to see would be a system that brings about faster and easier resolution for small firms, with early intervention and more advice on offer to help them use avenues like dispute resolution.
From their findings, the FSB has developed a series of recommendations to address the problems faced, advocating a three-tier system as follows:
Tier One: Prevention, informal and semi-formal resolution
Here, the FSB proposes that the new Small Business Commissioner (SBC) should take a central role in overseeing the provision of guidance and support for small businesses, improving awareness and understanding of commercial relationship management and strategies to aid dispute resolution.
Tier Two: Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)
The aim would be to raise awareness and give guidance on ADR amongst smaller firms, including establishing a hub that builds on the Ministry of Justice’s ‘Find a Mediator’ platform. The FSB would like to see a comprehensive review carried out into the commercial ADR sector, focusing on finding alternative ways to meet the needs of smaller businesses.
Tier Three: The civil courts
The third tier involves access to a reliable and accessible civil justice, and a court system that can offer efficient resolution of commercial disputes. The proposal is that reforms should be put in place to make it cheaper, easier and quicker for small businesses to get their disputes dealt with.
With the government showing determination to make Britain one of the best places in the world to do business, a huge burden would undoubtedly be lifted from small businesses by the introduction of measures to tackle the growing problem of disputes.

Global oil storage could reach maximum capacity within weeks, energy analysts have told CNBC, as the coronavirus crisis dramatically reduces consumption and some of the world’s most powerful crude producers start to ramp up their output.
The coronavirus pandemic has meant countries have effectively had to shut down, with many governments imposing draconian measures on the daily lives of billions of people. It has created an unprecedented demand shock in energy markets, with storage space – both onshore and offshore – quickly running out.
At the same time, a three-year pact between OPEC and non-OPEC partners to curb oil output ended on Wednesday, paving the way for oil producers to ramp up production.
OPEC kingpin Saudi Arabia has pledged to hike output to a record high.
“Refineries in many places are now losing money for every barrel they process, or they have no place to store their output of oil products,” Bjarne Schieldrop, chief commodities analyst at SEB, told CNBC via email this week.
He pointed out that when refineries shut down, many oil producers have nowhere to send their crude if the refinery is also part of the logistical chain to the market.
“For land-based or land-locked oil producers, this means only one thing,” Schieldrop continued. “The local oil price or well-head price they receive very quickly goes to zero or even negative, because if they have too much oil, they must pay someone to transport it away until they have managed to shut down their production.”
Landlocked crude prices seen falling below zero
Both benchmarks recorded their worst-ever quarter through the first three months of the year, according to data compiled by CNBC.
Brent futures collapsed over 65% in the first quarter, while WTI slumped more than 66% over the same period.
To date, around 862,000 people have contracted COVID-19 worldwide, with 42,404 deaths, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University.
Analysts at Goldman Sachs have warned the coronavirus shock is “extremely negative for oil prices and is sending landlocked crude prices into negative territory.”
The U.S. investment bank estimates that the world has around 1 billion barrels of spare storage capacity, but much of that will never be accessed “as the velocity of the current shock will breach transportations networks.”
“Indeed, given the cost of shutting down a well, a producer would be willing to pay someone to dispose of a barrel, implying negative pricing in landlocked areas,” analysts at Goldman said in a research note published Monday.
To be sure, Goldman said it expects waterborne crudes like Brent to be far more insulated from the coronavirus shock, with the international benchmark likely to stay near cash costs of $20 a barrel — albeit with temporary spikes below.
In contrast, WTI (which is landlocked and 500 miles from accessible tanker storage) is expected to be among those hardest hit, alongside WTI Midland and Western Canada Select (WCS).
Earlier this week, the price of WCS was quoted as low as $4.18 a barrel, traders told CNBC’s Brian Sullivan. That’s thought to be less than a good pint of beer in Canada.
Storage capacity to hit its limit ‘by midyear’
“With demand collapsing but supply rising after OPEC and non-affiliated Russia failed to reach a production cut agreement in early March, global inventories could reach their maximum capacity within weeks,” analysts at Eurasia Group said in a research note published Monday.
“Industry participants are saying it is virtually impossible to find conventional onshore tanks. Even if OPEC and other producers start restricting their output again soon, the supply overhang from the global lockdown is so big that storage capacity will likely hit its limit by midyear.”
“Already, ports and refiners are turning away oil tankers. This will put even more downward pressure on prices and pose an existential threat to many companies,” Eurasia Group said.

Analysts at Energy Aspects expect the ongoing oil price war between Saudi Arabia and Russia will keep production elevated until the end of the year.
This means the world will run out of crude storage capacity early in the third quarter of the year, they added, with product containment arriving earlier.

Plus, helpful tips to keep in mind when expanding your child's palate.
For the first 18 months to two years of your child's life, you've diligently fed your child by either breast, bottle or spoon with everything being eaten quite agreeably. Then, suddenly, your toddler begins to refuse food. Of course, you worry. "Why won't my child eat? Have I done something wrong?" As a mother of three and a certified Integrative Nutrition Coach and the founder of Yummy Spoonfuls, I'm well aware of the challenges of picky eating.
Understanding that we all are quite literally what we eat, my two-sided approach to overcoming this particular toddler issue will help you provide your little one with the proper nutrition they need to fully thrive.
Why your toddler has become picky
If you have a picky toddler, you are not alone. The reasons for this sudden food aversion are both simple and complex:
- They're becoming more independent. Now that your child has started walking and is beginning to speak, they are developing a sense of independence and have the consciousness to act upon it. Whether your child likes a particular food or not, they can refuse to open their mouth, run away, cry in protest, throw a tantrum or do all of the above.
- They're becoming more intuitive. Toddlers can begin to notice a pattern with eating: most "good" foods are sweet and most unsweet foods are green. The vast majority of baby food products combine vegetables with sweet foods like apples, bananas or pears. A baby who has grown accustomed to eating such products develops a palate for sweet foods. When attempting to introduce a non-sweet green vegetable, that toddler will inevitably notice the difference and refuse it. Parents also tend to impose their own food hang-ups on children. For example, parents who do not like okra or brown rice do not cook those foods for themselves and therefore do not give them to their children. It's important for parents to remember that eating is a learned behavior beginning with the very first spoonful and reinforced with each and every meal.
- They're learning what they do and don't like. Your child may not be a fan of certain textures. Because eating is as much about tactile sensation as it is about taste, your child may not like foods that are too crunchy, slimy, soft, grainy, chewy and so on. If this is the case then your child's pickiness should be consistent across different flavors. For example, if they don't like crunchy foods, they'll refuse a sweet, juicy crisp green apple as quickly as they'd turn down fresh, crisp celery. The problem is not the pickiness but rather the way that pickiness is managed.
Here are some helpful tips to keep in mind when expanding your child's palate.
1. Don't stop trying to introduce new foods too soon.
Many parents aren't aware of the lengthy yet normal course of food acceptance in children. A 2004 study published in the Journal of the American Diet Association revealed that 25% of mothers with toddlers offered foods only once or twice before deciding if the child liked it. Approximately half of mothers made similar judgments after serving new foods only three to five times.
Touching, smelling, playing with and spitting out food are all normal exploratory behaviors that happen before acceptance—and some kids simply take longer to try new food and develop a taste or affinity for it. Keep trying and eventually, your child will come around. Be consistent, don't give up and remember, this stage in your child's life is critical as the foods they eat now are key building blocks for healthy growth and development.
2. Bring home the food items you want your child to eat.
Your child can only be as picky as the food options that are made available to them. If you want them to eat more healthful foods, fill your refrigerator and pantry with what you believe are healthy, nutritious food options. You can also make life easy for yourself by stocking your freezer with convenient foods that don't skimp on taste and nutrition.
3. Expose kids to all varieties of foods.
Introduce your child to an array of food flavors and textures no matter what your own personal preferences or aversions may be. Your child may very well love some of the foods you dislike.
4. Don't provide too many food options.
Often parents of multiple children will make a variety of dishes for a meal in order to appease each child's individual tastes. This kind of short-order cooking habit is tiring, unsustainable and only serves to foster the habit you are trying to correct. There's no reason for any child to stop being picky if other options are always readily available. Unless your child has an allergy or sensory issue, then they should learn to try whatever you serve.
5. Don't supplement missed meals with junk.
Every parent living with a toddler understands the practice of "picking one's battles" but setting up healthy nutrition practices is a battle that should be fought to win. If your child refuses to eat a meal because they don't like the options available, try not to give your child junk food just to fill their belly. In time, those empty calories can become lifelong unhealthy choices. Your child depends on you to choose a balanced diet that is developmentally appropriate and fuels good health and happiness.
6. Treat every meal and snack time as an opportunity to nourish your child with good food.
Instead of viewing snack time as "treat" time, consider snack time a mini meal and feed your child accordingly. Again, give your child every opportunity to get acquainted with new foods. Avoid crackers and other convenience foods and try giving your child sliced carrots or bell peppers instead.
7. Make every eating experience enjoyable.
As many studies have shown, children who help with meal preparation are more likely to eat food they helped make, so let your child pitch in! Make cooking each meal a family activity by allowing your child to help. This is a great way to show your child that delicious food and healthy food aren't mutually exclusive. Prepare foods in their most delicious and visually-appealing form and be sure to take into account your child's texture preferences. For example, don't overcook string beans for a child who likes their veggies firm.
8. Don't force a "clean plate."
While you may be anxious about your child getting the necessary nutrients they need for growth and development, avoid forcing them to eat every bite you serve. Your child is not trying to frustrate you, they're simply learning as everything is still new and different to them.
Remember that for many kids, food acceptance takes time and this important stage in your toddler's life is absolutely normal. Also, forcing them to clean their plate causes a child to lose their natural sense of knowing when they are full, which can lead to overeating. Building healthy eating habits means respecting when your child is full even when you may think they've not had enough. After all, you can always serve any leftovers as a mini meal for snack time.

Cape Town - Bafana Bafana coach Stuart Baxter insists that Nigeria are determined to avenge their defeat of last year against South Africa when the two sides meet at FNB Stadium on Saturday.
The Super Eagles suffered a 2-0 defeat at the famous Godswill Akpabio International Stadium against Baxter’s charges courtesy of goals from Tokelo Rantie and Percy Tau.
“We do have Nigeria first‚ in the small matter of an African Nations Cup qualifier‚” Baxter said as quoted by TimesLIVE website.
“Everybody knows the list of injuries that we have had.
“Everybody knows what I said in the first press conference (a week ago) that despite that (the injuries), I want to speak about the players that we do have because even though we respect Nigeria we do not fear them.
MUST READ: Benni: My mindset is not on Bafana job
“I think we have still enough talent‚ enough desire and if we can structure a game plan in the next three or four days‚ I think by the time we run out onto the FNB Stadium we would be confident‚ we would not be complacent‚ because Nigeria have just come from a (2018) World Cup (in Russia).
“They are undefeated since we beat them the last time (in the first qualifier in June last year) and they will certainly want to wreak their revenge.
“So‚ we will be ready, and I still believe that we have a very good chance of getting the result that we need.”
After four rounds of (of six) matches played, the Super Eagles lead Group E with 9 points, one ahead of South Africa, who have accumulated 8 points from two wins and two draws.
Libya are in third place with 4 points, followed by the Seychelles on 1 point.
The penultimate group clash will kick-off at 15:00 (SA time).

The last thing I wanted to see after a week of providing Austin Cleaning Services, was streaky sheets out of my own washer. I’m usually one up on the maintenance list at home, but heck, I’m not even
wearing earrings anymore (I usually feel naked without my daily earrings) So the rest of the regular stuff is kind of out of sync too.
Why Did My Washing Machine Leave Dark Marks On My Clothes?
I tend to wash once a week since I’m an empty nester now. I ran my darks through a cycle of washing but I don’t dry them, and that’s when I noticed some streaks. I figured it was a stain from work but I should have known better.
Next I washed my white sheets. Can I tell you that the highlight of my days are getting into bed in fresh clean sheets! Mind you, it’s about 8pm so I’m exhausted and wasn’t ready for the streak of luck I had, to now be up another hour trying to figure this dirt out.
Since I didn’t put anything in the dryer I knew it was the washer. I stuck my head and hand in to look for anything inside, but nothing was found. I knew it was the drum.
Funny that something we rely on to clean, doesn’t do it’s job, and we realize we didn’t maintain it to help it routinely work.
Routine cleaning of the washing machine helps it routinely clean your clothes. My washing machine even has a tub cycle clean button, but just like not wearing earrings daily, I got used to not maintaining my washing machine too.
So the washing machine drum (especially in front loaders) gets grimy. It collects greasy residue from past loads and sometimes gets a buildup of fabric softeners and grime mixed together causing these marks on your clothes.
I don’t use fabric softener, but I do usually wash all loads in cold water. So I knew it was time to press that Tub Clean.
How To Clean The Drum Of The Washing Machine Even If You Don't Have a Tub Clean Cycle.
Of course most machines have manuals that we store more than read right? Yes I’m guilty too, because I know what to do, but out of sight out of mind happens to the best of us. My machine even has these maintenance things that stick to the side of the washing machine.
No one is looking to the side of their machine or even inside unless they are missing a sock.
If you don’t have. Tub clean cycle, this method works just as good.
Run a heavy duty cycle on Hot and replace the detergent with White Distilled Vinegar in the dispenser.
I ran my cycle this way even though it has the tub clean and washed my sheets again to test it out.
Fresh, clean sheets again!
My extra hour washing cycle could have been prevented if I ran a tub clean, or a cycle of white distilled vinegar a month to prevent it. Unless it’s scheduled like a dentist appointment most of us will forget.
How our Austin Cleaning Service Can Help You.
We can personalize a cleaning service to meet your needs. We have many downtown Austin Cleaning Service clients that are too busy to even realize their fridge has a built in filter let alone how to routinely maintain their washing machine.
We understand busy personally, and can schedule routine maintenance things like this washing machine cycle to your service.
If my own home was on our Austin Cleaning Services Routine, I would have a personalized to do list with dates and more.
I guess I need to be my own client so that I too can get my time back.

We first met online, and I eagerly sent you a friend request on Facebook. There were two buttons you could press to respond: accept or reject. At first you hesitated, uncertain if it was safe to let me into your world. However, the day you finally caved and pressed that accept, both of our lives changes forever.
I loved becoming acquainted with you day in and day out. The more I got to know you the more I liked you. I quickly saw you as the most beautiful woman in the world. And although you may have not felt your beauty, I always did.
Your beautiful face, your gorgeous hair, and your shimmering personality have made me realize what a lucky man I am to know you.
I bravely gave you my phone number so you could text me anytime. You gave me yours in return, much to my delight. Our conversations grew more frequent and deep, and finally, I knew I needed to tell you how I was starting to feel. I remember the first day I told you, “I love you.” It was one of the bravest things I’d ever done, and the seconds seemed like hours as I nervously waited for your reply. To be completely honest, I didn’t expect your response to say you felt the same. But as soon as you said, “I love you, too,” I started to feel like someone really loves me in ways I’d never felt before.
Your beautiful face, your gorgeous hair, and your shimmering personality have made me realize what a lucky man I am to hear those wonderful words “I love you, too.”
I’m not the richest person in the world. And unfortunately, your love is 3000 miles away from me. I’ve questioned if it would ever work, if love could conquer all things, even the distance from the Atlantic to the Pacific. I had no idea when we would meet, when we could feel each other’s embrace.
However, life often works in the most amazing and mysterious ways, and I was able to travel 3000 miles to meet you, showering you with love in person instead of just with words across a screen. That first night we spent together, it felt as if we’d known each other for years, not mere minutes. I’ve always believed in love at first sight, and the moment my eyes met yours, I knew I had to build a future with you in my heart.
Your beautiful face, your gorgeous hair, and your shimmering personality have made me realize you were always worth the wait.
You’re incredible, you’re perfect, and there’s no one else for me.
All the frustration, heartbreaks, and times of single life happened for a reason. And that reason was waiting for that time when you could be safely in my arms. I know we’re going to be the best couple in the world and nothing will stand in our way.
To steal your words, we’re in this together, every step of the way.
I didn’t want to leave you to return to reality, but when I come back, I know we’ll pick up where we left off. You are so important to me; I love you with all my heart. Some may talk or even judge, but nothing will ever change the way I feel for you.
You’re truly unique (just like me), and I love you for that. I love your strengths, and even your flaws. Your beautiful face, your gorgeous hair, your shimmering personality… I love everything about you.
No matter what the seasons bring, or the distance that spans between us, know that I am always home when I’m with you. I love you more than anyone else in the world, and I’m forever thankful to call you my love interest, my girlfriend, my baby.
Thank you for being you, and thank you for being my girlfriend.

When you think about the jobs your children might have when they grow up, you might not realize they could be paid to be "ice cream tasters." For 26 years, John Harrison has been working for Edy's Ice Cream, tasting small amounts of each batch of ice cream to make sure it tastes good. He's an expert, since his dad, uncle, grandpa and great-grandpa were all in the ice cream business. John checks ice cream first by chopping the carton in half and making sure the chips, nuts and swirls are evenly spread out. Then he tastes a bite in 3 steps: "swirl, smack, and spit." He spits it out because he'd feel sick if he swallowed every bite! Each year only about 100,000 of the 40,000,000 gallons (40 million) turn out not good enough, and those are donated to charity…because by then John's had enough of ice cream.
Now see if your kids can come up with the answers to these ice cream-inspired math problems.
Wee ones: John starts with milder flavors like vanilla, saving stronger flavors like mint chocolate chip for last. If he also tastes Mud Pie and S'mores in between, how many flavors does he taste in total?
Little kids: If a carton should show 16 chocolate chips when sliced but he counts 18, does it have too many chips or too few? Bonus: If there should be 16 and he counts 5 more than that, how many chips are there?
Big kids: If the fudge swirl is looking too fudgy and he tastes 3 pints from the first 20, then 5 from the next 20, how many pints does he skip tasting? Bonus: If he tastes 1 out of every 10 pints all day, how many tastes does he get from a batch of 200 pints?
The sky's the limit: John gives a low rating to 1/4 of 1 percent of all pints, or 1/400th of them. If Edy's makes 80,000 pints in a given week, how many will probably turn out okay?
Wee ones: 4 flavors.
Little kids: Too many chips – but we're OK with that! Bonus: 21 chips.
Big kids: 32 pints, since he tasted 8 out of 40. Bonus: 20 tastes.
The sky's the limit: 79,800 of them, since there will be 200 duds. To walk through the powers of 10: out of 800 pints, there'd be 2 duds; out of 8,000 there'd be 20; so out of 80,000 there'd be 200 duds.

In this paper we describe the recent advancements made in the IBM i-vector speaker recognition system for conversational speech. In particular, we identify key techniques that contribute to significant improvements in performance of our system, and quantify their contributions. The techniques include: 1) a nearest-neighbor discriminant analysis (NDA) approach that is formulated to alleviate some of the limitations associated with the conventional linear discriminant analysis (LDA) that assumes Gaussian class-conditional distributions, 2) the application of speaker- and channel-adapted features, which are derived from an automatic speech recognition (ASR) system, for speaker recognition, and 3) the use of a deep neural network (DNN) acoustic model with a large number of output units (~10k senones) to compute the frame-level soft alignments required in the i-vector estimation process. We evaluate these techniques on the NIST 2010 speaker recognition evaluation (SRE) extended core conditions involving telephone and microphone trials. Experimental results indicate that: 1) the NDA is more effective (up to 35% relative improvement in terms of EER) than the traditional parametric LDA for speaker recognition, 2) when compared to raw acoustic features (e.g., MFCCs), the ASR speaker-adapted features provide gains in speaker recognition performance, and 3) increasing the number of output units in the DNN acoustic model (i.e., increasing the senone set size from 2k to 10k) provides consistent improvements in performance (for example from 39% to 57% relative EER gains over our baseline GMM i-vector system). To our knowledge, results reported in this paper represent the best performances published to date on the NIST SRE 2010 extended core tasks.

Hi guys! Happy Writing Wednesday Day :) I'm doing this post nice and early so I don't forget...like I have the past three weeks. Yikes. Sorry about that. But I have an awesome prompt for you all today and I can't wait to share it and see what you've all been writing. I'm in my slow phase between writing books so I have extra time to prompt today!
Prompt Seventy Seven- Exact Feelings
This one is easy in the sense that it SHOULD be easy. But it's a bit more complicated. So here's the plan: write EXACTLY what you are feeling at this exact moment and nothing more. Don't filter yourself. Let it flow and use this as a therapeutic tool to unleash everything. Think stream of consciousness.
I hate being up early in the morning. My back is aching and this coffee is terrible. I just want to add a pile of sugar into it, but I won't because that's bad. Plus then I'll hit a low in an hour or two and I'll still be sitting behind this desk. Luckily there's a LOL game on youtube that I can watch while I wake up.
I'm hungry, but I don't want to eat yet. Then I'll get hungry later. Ugh. I just want to go back to bed. The music upstairs is so annoying. I don't want to get a headache. I really want to climb back into my bed and snuggle. It was so warm last night. I fell asleep early so I should be wide awake. But I don't think any time I wake up at 5 I'm really awake. Despite getting a full night of sleep. 5 am is just a punishing hour. It sucks.
Wednesdays are my grumpy day. I can go home and sleep but I'm sure there's other things I should be doing. Like laundry, or writing. I have such bad writer ADD that I want to start a new series. But I have to finish my other series first. From now on I'm going to try to do books back to back so there's no waiting period. It's probably easier that way.

What Readers Have to Say...
"An absolutely heart wrenching read that shows us that at times no matter how much we hope, darkness will find its way to win. "
-Blogger's From Down Under for A Reliant Love
"So this book is the ultimate love story. I like how two ordinary people who is so different and still so alike in so many ways can overcome everything together."
-Angelica Berglund for For The Love of Hockey
"I never thought I would read a "zombie book", much less love one. The Last Legacy really surprised me. Even with the whole people-eating-people thing, it was a fantastic book"
-Melannie S for The Last Legacy
"I could not wait to start book two. If this book was as good as book one, then I knew I wouldn't be disappointed. It wasn't as good as book one...it was better. "
-Keely Retchloff for Finding Sam
"The powers, the love, the excitement, the drama kept me so enthralled. If you are looking for a GREAT series about true love and mythology, look no further... I wish I could rate 10 stars! Definitely recommend this whole series to all my book loving friends!"
-The Book Blog for A Curse Books Trilogy
"For the Love of Ash" by Taylor Lavati was a rare 5-star read for me. I honestly find many typical romances rather dull and predictable. This was not the case at all here; there was nothing average about the romance, overall storyline, and the long list of supporting characters."
-Summer's Book Blog for For The Love of Ash
"Wingless isn't what I would normally pick up and read, but thought I'd try it out and I am so glad I did. The characters and "worlds" she creates are done so well that you can actually picture them and feel like you are there right along with the characters."
-JLH for Wingless

MannKind continues to be one of the most closely-watched stocks on Wall Street, receiving a number of downgrades and price target cuts recently. Analysts have been carefully tracking prescriptions of the company’s newly launched inhaled insulin product Afrezza. The drug is MannKind’s first on the market and will play a crucial role in its future—and whether it has one at all.
MannKind’s Afrezza not selling well
Analyst Adnan Butt and the team at RBC Capital Markets have been tracking Afrezza prescriptions and sales each week. Last week they reported the numbers for the week ending March 13.
They recorded 161 total prescriptions, a 42.5% week over week increase. They found 143 new prescriptions, an increase of 38.8%, Afrezza continues to trail far behind other forms of insulin, however, with a 0.05% share of the insulin market, although that’s still a slight increase from the previous week’s 0.03%. The market leaders are Novolog with a 46.06% share and Humalog with a 40.49% share.

Q2 2020 hedge fund letters, conferences and more Up-and-Coming Small- and Mid-cap Portfolio Managers Our manager research team has been publishing its semiannual Morningstar Prospects report for several years. Read More
So far reports on Afrezza’s reception have been mixed, with some signs suggesting that early feedback is encouraging and others indicating that the inhaled insulin’s effectiveness is limited.
Can MannKind meet estimates?
The RBC team estimates $100,000 in sales this year based on a cumulative 563 total prescriptions year to date and an assumed net price of between $158 and $195. For the full year, they’re estimating $46.1 million in revenue. In order to hit that estimate, the number of total Afrezza prescriptions must increase by between 10.1% and 10.7%.
The consensus estimate for first quarter sales is $5.1 million, which according to Butt and team, means sales must rise by about 17,000% to hit that forecast. For the full year, consensus estimates call for $110.1 million in sales for MannKind.
Where will MannKind stock go next?
As of this writing, shares of MannKind were down 1.15% to $5.14 per share. Today’s floor on the stock (at least as of this writing) appears to be $5.12 per share, as shares have not fallen below that level yet.
Benzinga‘s Christian Tharp notes that MannKind stock hasn’t been following the rest of the market. The broader market has rallied within the last 12 months, but MannKind shares haven’t done the same. The biotechnology company’s shares have lost more than half of their value, hitting bottom at $4.50 per share. Since then, the stock has climbed to $8, but it has slipped back own again.
Tharp suggests that the “key level” for the stock is $5 per share, pointing out that it has continued to provide a support for shares. If MannKind falls under $5, however, it could approach the 52-week low of $4.45 per share.

Mel's Famous Bake Shop makes a sweet delivery
Considering how far some people will drive to grab a bite to eat at their favorite food truck, you may be hard-pressed to think of a time when food trucks actually made use of their wheels and came to you.
"I remember my parents telling me stories that just a generation ago there were bakery and dairy trucks roaming the streets of Tulare," said Mel Vidana, owner of Mel's Famous Bake Shop. "We're sort of bringing something back that was always here and trying to keep it as authentic as possible."
Authentic, and also nostalgic. In a time when food trucks are so competitively forward-thinking that you can find anything from crepes to sushi on the streets of big cities, Mel's is instead choosing to look backwards to the era of "Any Town U.S.A." when bakery delivery trucks were more than just a novelty.
"We actually don't lump ourselves in with the big food truck craze," Mel said. "I think what we're more realistically trying to do is bring back something, and opposed to bringing something totally new.
The sense of nostalgia floods the mind immediately upon looking at the vintage Mel's delivery truck that features the Mel's name emblazoned in sharp red lettering on the side. While it looks like something that just drove out of a Norman Rockwell painting, in reality it took a less idealistic road for the couple to both find and salvage it.
"It wasn't running. It was full of holes. It was, like, four different colors." Mel said. "No power breaks, no A.C."
While that last one could easily render the mobile bake shop as an veritable oven on wheels, Mel looks at the bright side.
"It's how we stay trim," she said.
The slew of repairs is only the latest in the long history of the truck.
"She's had some other lives," said Mel's husband, Nate Guevara, who identifies the truck as a female.
Mel listed off a few.
"She was on an U.S. Air Force base as a mail truck. She was in San Diego as a floral truck. Lot's of incarnations."
Now she's a bakery truck. One that stops to deliver delectable treats such as the chocolate cake with vanilla butter cream cupcakes, Linzer cookies, and raspberry bar bites.
"People love the raspberry bars," Mel said. "They're very sweet."
While she known for sweets, Mel herself prefers the more salty side of confectionery treats.
"I love peanut butter cookies," she said. "I can never turn down anything made with, from, or even reminiscent of peanut butter."
It might sound a bit, well, nutty, but if her perfectly crumbly peanut butter cookies are any indication, the passion shines through in the final product.
The secret ingredient is Tulare County itself, Mel said.
"We have access to the freshest ingredients," she said. "All of our ingredients are local, and all of them are super fresh. Real butters and real sugar."
In case you take that to mean the treats are especially healthy, Mel likes to clarify.
"It's really good for you," she said, "because it will make you smile. Past that, it might be a little high in the calorie count."
While the iconic truck is used for delivery, the baking is done in the kitchen.
Although the couple looked impeccable in their smooth aprons and perfectly tied bow-ties, Mel has to remind outsiders of the reality of working around the clock.
"I think a lot of the time people think we're in here in our retro clothes baking things, but a lot of the time we look a mess," she said. "But we still end up wearing our bow-ties in here all the time. We're always excited to do it."
"I would say we're always on the clock," Nate said.
With the minute hand ticking ever closer to snack time, Tulare County can't wait to reap the benefits.

I am an emerging artist currently based in Hobart. Having grown in Melbourne before emigrating to Hobart to develop my approach to artistic practice; first seeing myself as a drawer and mark-maker, then introducing print making and a period working with low fi digital image creation, I moved to seeing myself as a post-expressionist painter. A temporary abandonment of paint, I found myself exploring sculpture as well as sound and large volume multi-state single addition printing as a way to explore the unknowns of my own sub-consciousness.
My work is rough, and has an unpolished finish, working from initial ideas and exploring my personal impact on a surface before changing the protective layers and re-approaching. Recently I have discovered the process of blacksmithing and have become entranced in my own ability to move such a ridged material, with its seeming ease and ability to frustrate, something that needs to be understood. I find myself most enjoying my practice when it involves the moments of joyful surprise and search for this within any material that I come across, be it metal, ink, or the disruption radio waves.
My direction is to focus on collaborative exhibition projects with a strong focus on skill sharing and communal knowledge gathering. Taking part in artists residences, the gathering new skills and absorbing how different artistic communities work, to come to terms with the changing face of the world anthropologically, seeing how people interact with place and themselves and responding through that. To invite people into studio spaces, creating machines and tools that can be communally utilised and to create work from the material consumed.

“These trade team visits connect our Nigerian customers with the farmers that consistently produce the high quality wheat they expect and the grain industry responsible for supplying it,” said Gerald Theus, assistant regional director for the U.S. Wheat Associates (USW) Sub-Sahara African regional office in Cape Town, South Africa, who will accompany the team. “Participants gain firsthand knowledge of the current year’s crop and confidence in the U.S. grain marketing system.”
USW is sponsoring this trade team with support from the Nebraska Wheat Board, Kansas Wheat and Texas Wheat. During their visit, the Nigerian team will meet with farmers and industry officials to discuss the supply and quality of the current wheat crop, although the team will likely not see much wheat in Kansas fields due to the early harvest. The team will also discuss wheat research, including the future introduction and hoped-for traits of biotech wheat, in visits with Dr. Forrest Chumley at Heartland Plant Innovations and Kansas Wheat as the team tours the Kansas Wheat Innovation Center construction site.
Team members include representatives from the world’s second largest miller, Flour Mills of Nigeria, and other leading Nigerian flour milling companies. Flour Mills of Nigeria is the world’s largest importer of HW wheat, shipped in containers from its own export elevator in Corpus Christi, Texas, U.S. The company also imports soft red winter, hard red winter, hard red spring and Desert Durum wheat.
Nigeria is the only country that has imported all six classes of U.S. wheat. Flour milling is Nigeria’s second largest industry — behind oil — and the country buys up to 90% of its wheat from the United States. USW’s in-country presence through an office is Lagos and a long-term commitment to technical training and assistance have combined to build a top market for U.S. wheat in Nigeria, including the largest overall buyer in 2009-10. Based on USDA analysis, USW estimated that the loss of this market alone could reduce U.S. farm gate prices by 15¢ per bushel.

Guns on Campus
School shootings are rare, but UO has had one
by Joseph A. Lieberman
With these words, Seung-Hui Cho conveniently laid the blame for mass murder upon his victims: You had a hundred billion chances and ways to have avoided today … Now you have blood on your hands that will never wash off.
But his diatribe could also be seen as a challenge to any campus that today still remains unprepared for this degree of savagery. Although the events at Virginia Tech taught a terrible lesson, only 10 months later, 27-year-old Stephen Kazmierczak murdered five students and wounded 16 before committing suicide at Northern Illinois University.
Could it happen here? It already has. Back on Veteran’s Day, 1984, UO dropout Michael Feher, in camouflage clothing and black face paint, began firing randomly at Autzen Stadium, killing a former Olympic sprinter. A college wrestler was also wounded before Feher committed suicide. Fifteen years later, the massacre at Thurston High in Springfield left a permanent scar upon this community’s sense of well-being.
This summer, Congress passed a new Higher Education Law that requires every college in the U.S. to “immediately notify” students and staff upon confirmation of a significant emergency on campus. That directive was inspired partly by the fact that some officials at Virginia Tech had locked down their own offices at least 20 minutes prior to Cho bursting into Norris Hall and slaying 32 people, and before a campus-wide alert was issued about his first two killings at a dorm. Victims’ families were outraged.
The UO began its planning months before Virginia Tech. Andre Le Duc, Director of UO’s Emergency Management Program, reported, “Over the past three years, increasing attention has been paid to how colleges and universities communicate with students, faculty, staff, parents and first responders in the event of an emergency. … Components of our system include mass notifications, Web page and email alerts, an outdoor alert system, radio and local media, and first responder training.”
A year ago, Boston University was the first college in the nation to mandate that students had to sign up for text message alerts before they would be allowed to register. For now, the UO is using a more gently persuasive method. “Each time a student or faculty member signs into DuckWeb,” Le Duc said, “they get a pop-up reminder suggesting that they register.” (At press time, no pop-up appeared when UO students interning at the EW logged in to DuckWeb, though a reminder written in light grey text is present on the screen beneath the “personal information” option.)
UO Interim Dean of Students Laura Blake Jones focuses on a team approach interfacing with faculty, counseling, mental health services and public safety. “What were formerly ad hoc meetings as situations arose have now become weekly conferences in which our team considers any circumstance that is causing concern, such as a student who may be behaving erratically in class or is writing disturbing messages in essays. We’ve noted an increased demand for mental health services, but most students demonstrate adequate self-care,” she says.
According to a 2008 Reader’s Digest survey of 135 colleges, more than 90 percent had installed mass notification systems, half had plans for lockdowns and 48 percent authorized use of firearms by campus police.
Some students unnerved by past shootings think that having more weapons
is the solution. Nationwide, more than 30,000 members of Students for Concealed Carry on Campus support the right for licensed holders to carry concealed handguns at colleges. Eleven colleges, nine Utah public universities and Colorado State University currently allow this.
A psychology major and SCCC fan in Harrisonburg, Va., reasoned, “Concealed carry is one of the few ways to guarantee that the weapons are in the hands of quali-fied and stable individuals.” However, the qualifications to earn a concealed handgun permit in most states are laughably simple: Pass a basic firearm safety course and have no criminal record. This test would have qualified both Cho and Kazmierczak to legally carry concealed guns at, for example, Colorado State.
Lockdowns are another subject that is still in flux. “If the worst should happen,” Le Duc says, “locking down a large campus like UO may not be possible. The layout is very different from K-12 schools. Any lockdown would have to be done building by building, short of extremely expensive high-tech solutions. We prefer to take a holistic approach to campus safety.”
In truth, the chance of being killed at an educational institution in America is estimated at one in two million. The violent crime rate off campus is generally eight times greater than on campus. Nevertheless, while there’s no need to succumb to fear, school administrators say it’s still prudent to have that emergency/contingency plan, just in case.

Held at one of the best festival venues in the world, Petrocardin Fortress in Novi Sad, Serbia – EXIT was proclaimed ‘Best Major European festival’ at the EU Festival Awards 2014. Started as a student movement fighting for peace and democracy in Serbia, the inaugural was held over the span of 100 days in the summer of 2000. The clear-cut political component and the festival’s ties with forces pushing for the regime change were very clear to all that attended, and everyone was encouraged to get involved. The festival ended a couple of days before the September 24, 2000 Federal Presidential election, which ended up becoming the first step in the government’s overthrow and the start of a new chapter for the country.
The slogan of the festival was: ‘Exit out of ten years of madness’, a reference to the Miloševi? regime. Social responsibility still plays a large part in the festival activities. Led by a nonprofit, State of Exit Foundation dedicates its work to key topics in social involvement: national branding, regional connection through creative industries, as well as promoting positive examples to the youth.
Today, the festival is home to thousands of prideful Serbians who come back year after year not only to enjoy the amazing music, but to remember what the festival stands for and welcome the foreigners with open arms.

"Veteran filmmaker Subhash Ghai, who has spent over four decades in Bollywood and has given memorable films like 'Khalnayak', 'Karz', 'Hero' and 'Ram Lakhan', says content for the entertainment sector is now created with a lot of depth and perspective..
'The past few years have witnessed a rapid growth in not only entertainment, communication and fashion but also in other technological domains. Content for entertainment sector is now created with a lot of depth and perspective. The idea of giving a strong emphasis on social issues and spreading awareness through the media platforms has increased,' Ghai told IANS over an email when asked about the trends in the entertainment, communication and fashion industry.
He pointed out that the environmental conscious behaviour of customers has led the fashion industry to evolve in a dramatic way.
Ghai started his career in Hindi cinema as an actor with the 1967 film 'Taqdeer'. His directorial debut was the 1975 Shatrughan Sinha and Reena Roy-starrer hit 'Kalicharan' -- which he also wrote. He turned producer with his musical classic 'Karz' in 1980.
He formed his own company Mukta Arts Pvt Ltd, under which he made evergreen musical blockbuster 'Hero', introducing Jackie Shroff. This was followed by many blockbusters in a row including 'Meri Jung', 'Karma', 'Ram Lakhan', 'Saudagar', 'Khalnayak', 'Pardes' and 'Taal' until 2001.

God never gives up on people, even when they stray away from their faith. In this passage, the Gentiles experienced more of God’s grace, joy, power, and blessings even after rejecting their faith. God had a plan for them, as He does for all of us. Paul refers to the “spiritual tree”; we are the branches and God is our life-giving roots, providing us nourishment and support as we grow our faith and produce fruit. He goes on to describe how we are the branches that may be broken off, but every branch has the invitation to be “grafted in”. This is a beautiful illustration of God’s grace. God is the roots. We may stray away from him from time to time, but he is always ready to accept us, and graft us back into the tree to help us grow and thrive.
How often do we go about our lives trying to figure out things on our own instead of coming to God for support? I don’t know about you, but I know that I’m more of a “figure it out on my own” kind of person and rarely seek God for help in my “everyday” struggles. I know I need to focus more on coming to God for help with comfort and strength because He never fails to provide. Just like the image of the tree, God is the roots of our daily life. Without the support, strength and acceptance we receive from our relationship with God, our lives become more complicated and difficult to navigate. Seek God for your concerns and you will find support. No matter where your faith may be, God’s love and grace is always available and ready to accept you. He will graft you in and provide the necessary nourishment to help you grow strong and produce much fruit!
Prayer: Dear God, thank you for your patience and kindness as we lose our way at times. Please let us find our way back to you during these moments of struggle. Help us to reach out to others as they stray away and help us to share your grace. Amen.

Brendan Kane Fitzpatrick died June 18, 2019 in Hardin. He was born May 14, 1996, in Crow Agency to Robert Fitzpatrick, Sr. and Danelle Big Hair. His Indian name Buh’ sahnesh (Leader) was given to him by the late Pius Real Bird. He was a member of the Big Lodge Clan and a child of the Whistling Water. He grew up in Hardin and attended school there. While in school, he played basketball for the Hardin Middle School Bull Pups and the Hardin High School Bulldogs. He played in many tournaments and enjoyed every minute on the basketball court. He received his HISET at Washington State University in Pullman, Washington. Brendan enjoyed hunting trips to the mountains and going fishing on the Big Horn River. He loved hanging around with his friends and being around family. He always looked forward to his uncle Jacob’s cooking. He loved making and listening to music. Brendan’s love for his two daughters was boundless. Family was important to him and he made time to sit on the porch visiting with his grandma and going to Crow to see his grandpa. He was a member of the House of Hope Church in Hardin.
Brendan is preceded in death by his Kaala Minnie Fitzpatrick and his cousins Preston Bell, Tristan Gray and Zoey Not Afraid.
He is survived by his two daughters Ria Marie and Luena Le Fitzpatrick and companion Vonya, his father Robert Fitzpatrick, Sr. and his mother Danelle Fitzpatrick; his brothers Ty (Kori), Robert, Jr. “Big Boy” and Daniel “DJ” Fitzpatrick; his adopted brother Christian House; his paternal grandfather Michael Fitzpatrick; his maternal grandparents Daniel and Crystal Takes Enemy, Sr. and Regina Big Hair Falls Down; his aunts Danetta Takes Enemy, II, Jacob Carlson, Rod (Doralee) and Marcus Rex (Susan) Fitzpatrick. He claimed all his friends as his brothers.

If we have forgotten any one during our grief, please accept our apology.
Funeral services will be held Friday June 21, 2019 at 10:00 am at the Spirit of Life Foursquare Church in Crow Agency with interment to follow in the Crow Agency Cemetery. Bullis Mortuary is entrusted with the funeral arrangements.

Date: June 28th, 2020.
Time: 1:00 PM
Category: Board Meetings
To our Exit 7 Friends and Family:
I hope this message finds you all healthy and safe during this time of uncertainty. This message is broken into 3 sections. The first section will be general information about the Annual Meeting. The second section will detail how to nominate yourself to become a Board of Directors member (if you wish). The third section will explain any By-Law amendments that have been proposed that will be discussed and voted on during the Annual Meeting.
Exit 7 Players will be holding its Annual Board Meeting on Sunday, June 28 at 1pm via Zoom Video Conferencing, since social distancing measures are still in place. Active members, members wishing to renew membership, and those wishing to become members are invited to attend. If you would like to attend the Annual Meeting, you will need a device that allows for this platform (Zoom is a free video conferencing service) and you will need to email President Chris Climo for the login information at email@example.com prior to June 27.
We will be using electronic polling of some sort to record votes. Details will be available at the Annual Meeting.
Memberships that have lapsed or those wishing to pay for new memberships can be done by sending a check to PO BOX 183, Ludlow MA, 01056 or we will have another electronic method available the day of the meeting (Venmo, Paypal, or something similar)
The Annual Meeting will consist of a summary of our current season, future plans, capital improvements, financial information, voting of Board of Directors Members, and discussion/voting of By-Law Amendments.
Immediately following the Annual Meeting there will be a short break followed by the first meeting of the 2020-2021 Season. Board Members elected should plan to attend both meetings and general membership are encouraged, but not required to attend the second meeting.
We are currently taking applications for Board of Directors Members and Officers. If you would like to be considered for the Board of Directors please submit an email to either Jami Wilson at firstname.lastname@example.org or Stephanie Gilbert at email@example.com. A simple statement like the following is all that is needed:
"I, _______________ (name) would like to be considered for the Exit 7 Board of Directors (or officer position inserted here) for the 2020-2021 season. Sincerely, _____________(name)"
Please also put in the subject line of the email “EXIT 7 NOMINATION”.
Please keep in mind that the responsibilities of the Board of Directors are:
Attend monthly meetings (11) and discuss theater business
Attend seasonal work days to clean up the theater
Choosing theatrical productions for each season
Hiring of each production's creative team
Produce and participate in some capacity for each production in the season
Help upkeep the theater facility
Serve on subcommittees and perform assigned duties
The current Board of Directors consists of the following members, descriptions of duties of Officer positions can be found in the Exit 7 By-Laws, Article V:
Up to 2 Junior Board Members (members under the age of 18)
Up to 2 Emeritus Board Members (appointed by the sitting Board of Directors)
Up to 11 other Board of Directors Members
During the Annual Meeting itself, we ask that you prepare a short (1-2 minutes) speech as to why you should be considered for the Board of Directors or Officer position.
The deadline for nominations to Jami or Stephanie must be by midnight EST on Saturday, June 13, 2020.
On Sunday, June 14, a follow-up with the ballot of Board of Directors considerations and a meeting agenda will be sent out.
Exit 7 strongly supports diversity and particularly encourages participation, general membership and board candidates that reflect the wide variety of experiences and backgrounds in our theater community.
The following amendments to the By-Laws have been submitted and will be discussed and voted on at the Annual Meeting:
New By-Law Proposed: Article X, Section E: Video Conference Meetings and Attendance The Exit 7 Board may by majority vote decide to hold any meeting - monthly, emergency, or annual, by "Zoom" or other video conference platform. Such meetings shall be considered the same as an in-person meeting for the purposes of conducting Exit 7 Business.
For in person meetings, Board members may be allowed up to two (2) instances per year where they are permitted to join by video conference without an emergency excuse. Joining by video conference for valid emergency reasons shall not count against this allowance. Emergency excuses include, but are not limited to, medical condition or care, child care, out-of-town travel or other genuine emergencies approved at the Board's discretion. Video conference attendance under the above conditions shall not be counted as an absence.
REASONING, Paragraph 1: Especially during this pandemic, video conferencing was a very useful and necessary form of communication. It allowed the Board of Directors to still hold meetings without physically meeting face-to-face.
REASONING, Paragraph 2: To allow for more involvement of Board Members, providing 2 emergency video conferences attendances if said member is unable to physically attend an in-person meeting but still wishes to participate in the meeting. Reasons for missing an in-person meeting are listed in the paragraph.
By-Law Amendment Proposed: Article VI, Section D: Board Member Meeting Attendance
In the event a Board member has three (3) absences from regularly scheduled Board meetings (excepting extenuating circumstances or emergency) such member may be removed from the Board by a two-thirds majority of the votes, cast by the Board after previous notification and the Board may then nominate and elect a replacement by plurality vote.
Upon a Board member’s third absence, the President (or Secretary) shall notify said member in writing and inform said member that their board membership may be voted for dismissal at the next available meeting
REASONING: Independent of whether the video conferencing meeting By-Law is added. Currently the By-Laws allow for 4 absences. The interpretation is that keeping 4 absences and then allowing Board Members to use Video Conferences to avoid a fifth and sixth meeting, they would avoid going to an in-person meeting potentially 6 out of the total 11 Board Monthly Meetings during a season. The proposal will drop this to 5.
I apologize for the lengthy message, but there’s lots of great stuff happening in our theater! Hope to see and hear from you soon!
Christina M Climo
President, Exit 7 Board of Directors

It is all over the news – you have probably heard of the “one free swerve” controversy by now. The issue stems from the a decision made by the Virginia Supreme Court to allow police officers to stop drivers who are thought to be under the influence of alcohol, but only after they see the motorist do something potentially unsafe – like swerving. This is where the “one free swerve” label comes into the picture.
Quite understandably, the motion has stirred up a lot of controversy and people are reacting left and right. One high profile person, in particular, has expressed his dissatisfaction over the ruling. Chief Justice John Roberts has been quoted as writing:
The decision below commands that police officers following a driver reported to be drunk do nothing until they see the driver actually do something unsafe on the road — by which time it may be too late.
Roberts noted that close to 13,000 people die in alcohol-related car crashes a year, which equals to one death every 40 minutes.
Roberts said a majority of the courts have said it doesn’t violate the Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable search and seizure to pull over drunk drivers based on anonymous tips from programs like the “Drunk Busters Hotline.”
So my question to all responsible motorists out there is this: what do you think about the ruling? Should we be understanding and give “one free swerve” to drunk drivers? I would say not. Chief Justice Roberts is right – it is better to err on the safe side!

Recent news articles have brought my attention to the farming of the guinea pig as an alternative meat animal. Apparently it’s popular in South America, where it’s known as cuyes or cuy. People eat them whole roasted, rather like tiny chickens, and the author of the NPR piece goes into entirely too much detail about eating the “fingery little hands”. I am aware that humans will eat just about anything, so it’s not too much of a surprise that someone, somewhere, is eating guinea pig.
The guinea pig is supposed to be more “eco-friendly” than, say, beef — it’s more efficient at turning food into meat and it certainly takes up a lot less space. Heifer International provides guinea pigs (amongst many other species) to people in developing countries to provide meat and income. So there might be benefits to farming guinea pigs instead of cattle or pigs.
My immediate concern with the idea is this: it doesn’t really matter what animal you’re talking about — if you’re producing enough of them, they’re going to get factory farmed. When you picture “guinea pig housing” right now, you’ve probably got a mental picture of something like this:
These are, of course, pet guinea pigs. They’re in a pretty big space, with a couple of square feet per guinea pig. Here, according to Google Images, anyway, is what “farmed” guinea pig housing looks like these days:
This is what it looks like when you move from “pet” to “farm” — much less space per animal, more animals in one room. If guinea pig meat becomes popular, these little farms will want to — will need to, to keep up with demand — become even more “efficient”, cramming more animals in the same area. What will an “efficient” guinea pig farming operation — capable of feeding several hundred thousand humans — look like?

Kept hidden in a remote camp in the jungle near the Laotian/Vietnamese border, their captor “ a People 's Army of Vietnam lieutenant colonel - has them converting raw opium into morphine base. His goal: keep them alive and ransom them back to the Americans for millions years after the war ended.
Before she married Randy, Janet Pulaski was an anti-war activist and a member of the Students for A Democratic Society 's Action Wing. After he 's shot down, she 's sent to Cuba by the society to learn a set of deadly skills and makes an interesting life style choice.
It is not until 1982 when the U.S. learns of their existence and two men, one a former POW and the other a CIA operative want the POWs dead. Their existence will send one to prison and lead to a court martial for treason. Janet 's conundrum is how does she protect Randy?

I have been sitting here on my dead ass following along on the latest Qresearch threads when I see someone calling someone else a pussy for not having the guts to stand up against the anti gun tyranny and using this image as a nice dig.
It seems someone who reads my blogs is also following along over there.
That little pill box is one of my most prized possessions and is out in my Roll Away as I type. I put that picture up a couple three years ago.

This is an interesting case of a young patient, in his mid 40s, who sustained ocular trauma and developed a cataract. When we examine him during the pre-operative consultation we note that the anterior lens capsule is bulging forward and the lens is pressurized. This poses challenges for the surgery because it makes the capsulorhexis creation more difficult. We must also keep in mind that there can be zonular weakness from the trauma. Finally, this patient will see the world through our surgery every day for the next 50 years. We must successfully complete this case and provide an outstanding outcome. There are many great pearls that are revealed in this video, which is shown in its entirety, start to finish.

The Kentucky Derby will have an audience for the races set in September. While the total number of seats is yet to be confirmed, the Derby announced their health and safety protocols.
Kentucky Derby in September Will Have Some Audience
Good news for fans of horse racing, as the Kentucky Derby will be allowed to have some audience in September. The 146th Kentucky Derby was initially set to take place on May 2. However, the date was changed with the outbreak of COVID-19 in the US. This forced the change of the date for the Derby to September 5. Now, a few months later, state officials are introducing easing of the measures which were imposed due to COVID-19. The world-famous track in Louisville, Kentucky has received approval by state Governor Andy Beshear to accept some crowd for the race in September.
It is yet to be confirmed what the total capacity will be, but it is highly unlikely that crowds in the hundreds of thousands will be allowed. It’s important to mention that in the last decade, the track usually records some 150,000 visitors for each year’s event. However, the Kentucky Derby of 2020 will be different. Last week, Kevin Flanery, track president, released a statement assuring all necessary health and safety measures will be implemented to ensure both guests and visitor’s safety. Flanery said: “In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have established a comprehensive set of operating procedures, which include a multitude of precautionary measures to be followed while fans are in attendance at our facility.” He also outlined: “We are determined to keep our customers, employees, and communities as safe as we responsibly can.“
The Derby’s Guest Safety Protocols
Churchill Downs released their health and safety protocols for the Kentucky Derby last week. Those protocols still remain subject to change depending on state or government guidelines that may be introduced at a later point.
As per the safety protocols, visitors can gain entry into the facility with a printed ticket or with a mobile device pass. The commemorative tickets by the Kentucky Derby will not be available for solid paper purchase, but options for online or phone shopping will be introduced. All guests will have to wear masks or face coverings and keep social distancing. Guests not feeling well will be asked not to attend the events. The facility’s guest capacity will be reduced. Hand sanitizing dispensers will be available for guests at multiple areas around the facility. In order to ensure social distancing, the audience will be able to access only the infield area. Guests will not be able to access the Paddock or “front side” areas of the facility.
Further to the safety protocols, cleaners will ensure that all touchable surfaces and high-traffic areas are regularly cleaned and sanitized. Highly-touched areas such as seats, door handles, elevator button, pens and keypads as well as other surfaces will be rigorously cleaned. When it comes to foods, the menus will be with reduced selection. One time usable cutlery, napkins and condiments will be given to guests.
High Revenue Expected from The Derby’s Premium Seats
According to the Derby’s announcement, tickets which were previously purchased for the Kentucky Oaks and Kentucky Derby events which were set for May are automatically converted for the new race dates in September. Printed out tickets or mobile pass tickets will be accepted for entry. Although the total number of seats is not yet announced, it is known that the Derby has some 60,000 premium seats.
The generated revenue by Churchill Downs is mostly from the Derby Week ticket sales. A big portion of the revenue actually comes from the premium seating tickets. An excessive of one-third of the premium seats are sold as “non-cancellable contracts”. Those contracts can be anywhere from three to seven years. With that being said, the remaining premium seat tickets are usually sold at the beginning of the year. Keeping in mind the financial disaster that COVID-19 brought to many businesses this year, Churchill Downs may benefit from the selling of the Derby tickets.

The respective governments of Colombia and South Korea signed a joint declaration in Bogota Monday officially concluding negotiations of a free trade agreement (FTA) between the two countries that began in 2009.
“We decided to proceed promptly(…) for the FTA to enter into force,” said an official statement released by both countries Monday.
The FTA will eliminate 95.1% of tariffs on Colombian goods and 96.7% on South Korean products over the next ten years, and will likely boost trade with the Asian economic force that imported over $400 billion worth of goods last year. Colombia’s coffee and South Korea’s technology sectors are likely to benefit the most from the treaty.
“Last year, our bilateral trade exceeded $1.4 billion, and we hope, from the strength of the FTA, to multiply that by much more,” said Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos.
The treaty was signed by Colombia’s Minister of Commerce, Industry and Tourism, Sergio Diaz-Granados and South Korea’s Trade Minister Bark Tae-ho at Bogota’s presidential palace, Casa de Nariño, while the countries’ heads of state looked on. The deal is expected to strengthen the newly-formed Pacific Alliance, a regional alliance comprised of Colombia, Chile, Mexico and Peru whose goals include increasing Latin American trade with Asia.
Korean President Lee Myung-bak stressed the importance of the agreement, which was the first Colombia has signed with an Asian country, by saying it reinforces “economic and commercial relations” between the two nations.
Santos thanked his presidential counterpart for his support to include Colombia as a member of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC). The OECD is committed to promoting policies that will improve the economic well-being of people around the world and currently has 34 member states. APEC is an international organization whose 21 members are dedicated to promoting economic growth in the Asia-Pacific region.
“Thank you, that you very much South Korea, for your continued cooperation with our country in sectors such as education, culture, technology, rural development and environmental risk management,” added Santos.
Analysts predict the agreement will boost Colombia’s economy by 0.5%. There was no mention of when the FTA would come into effect.

By: Pastor Jarren Rogers
I love my church.
My prayer is that you could say the same. Gathering as one body, worshipping, praying, and fellowshipping together–there’s nothing like it. The longer I live, the more I realize that coming together with other believers on Sunday morning is essential. I need to go church to be encouraged and to encourage others, to sing praises to God, and be challenged by His Word.
We should love our church and the people in it!
But we must be careful to love it for the right reasons.
What do I mean? Let’s start with Scripture.
In Matthew 9, Jesus gets in trouble (as he tends to do a lot throughout the Gospels).
The Pharisees catch him having a meal in the home of Matthew, a tax collector. They weren’t just horrified that he was eating with Matthew, but many other sinners and rejects crowded around the table.
“When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, ‘Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?’” (Matthew 9:11).
As I read this passage, I began to wonder if we don’t sound like Pharisees sometimes in how we talk about church.
These were men that loved the Law. They loved being Jewish. They would even tell you that they loved God. But having a meal with prostitutes and tax collectors was just too much.
We love our church. We love the people in it. We love the people in our Sunday school class, the people that sit in our pew, the people we have coffee with us. But I worry that we can grow too comfortable. Like the Pharisees, we can love our church in such a way that excludes anything and anyone threatening to change it. We would rather maintain the status quo than invite in the rejects.
But we are called to mirror Christ, who sought out the outsiders and the sinners. He never wanted to grow comfortable with the people he accompanied. Instead, He was always inviting in the broken and unclean.
Truly loving your church means realizing that the church isn’t just for your sake. It’s for the sake of the world. Everything we do, from worship to Sunday School, to coffee and donuts, goes towards sharing the Gospel and life of Christ with our community.
And many times, that means never growing comfortable with seeing the same faces. That means never being okay with the same people in your small group. It means hoping and praying that the hurting, the broken, and the outcast will find their way into the doors of your church.
Because “it is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick” (v. 12).
Don’t be content with your church. Seek the sick and invite them in.

- The Catcher in the Rye
The Catcher in the Rye
First edition cover
Author(s) J. D. Salinger Cover artist E. Michael Mitchell Country United States Language English Genre(s) Novel Publisher Little, Brown and Company Publication date 16 July 1951 Media type Print (Hardback & Paperback) Pages 214 pp ISBN 0-316-76953-3 OCLC Number 287628
The Catcher in the Rye is a 1951 novel by J. D. Salinger. Originally published for adults, it has since become popular with adolescent readers for its themes of teenage confusion, angst, alienation, language, and rebellion. It has been translated into almost all of the world's major languages. Around 250,000 copies are sold each year, with total sales of more than 65 million books. The novel's protagonist and antihero, Holden Caulfield, has become an icon for teenage rebellion.
The novel was included on Time's 2005 list of the 100 best English-language novels written since 1923, and it was named by Modern Library and its readers as one of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century. It has been frequently challenged in the United States and other countries for its liberal use of profanity and portrayal of sexuality and teenage angst. It also deals with complex issues of identity, belonging, connection, and alienation.
The majority of the novel takes place in December 1949. The story commences with Holden Caulfield describing encounters he has had with students and faculty of Pencey Prep (In addition, scholars often compare Pencey Prep to Valley Forge Military Academy, which Salinger attended from the ages of 15 to 17) in Agerstown, Pennsylvania . He criticizes them for being superficial, or, as he would say, "phony." After being expelled from the school for his poor academic performance, Holden packs up and leaves the school in the middle of the night after a physical altercation with his roommate. He takes a train to New York but does not want to return to his family and instead checks into the dilapidated Edmont Hotel. There, he spends an evening dancing with three tourist girls and has a clumsy encounter with a young prostitute named Sunny. His attitude toward the prostitute changes the minute she enters the room, because she seems to be about the same age as Holden. Holden becomes uncomfortable with the situation, and when he tells her that all he wants to do is talk, she becomes annoyed with him and leaves. However, he still pays her for her time. Sunny and Maurice, her pimp, later return to Holden's hotel room and demand more money than was originally agreed upon. Despite the fact that Sunny takes five dollars from Holden's wallet, Maurice punches Holden in the stomach.
Holden calls up his old girlfriend, Sally Hayes, to invite her to see a musical. Sally very excitedly agrees, and they meet for the play. After the play Holden and Sally go skating, and while drinking coffee Holden impulsively invites Sally to run away with him, but she declines. Her response deflates Holden's mood, which prompts a remark: "You give me a royal pain in the ass, if you want to know the truth" , he tells her, regretting it immediately. Sally storms off as Holden follows, pleading with her to accept his apology. Finally, Holden gives up and leaves her there. Holden spends a total of three days in the city, and this time is characterized largely by drunkenness and loneliness. At one point he ends up at a museum, where he contrasts his life with the statues of Eskimos on display. For as long as he can remember, the statues have been unchanging. These concerns may have stemmed largely from the death of his brother, Allie. Eventually, he sneaks into his parents' apartment while they are away, to visit his younger sister, Phoebe, who is the only person with whom he seems to be able to communicate. Phoebe views Holden as a hero, and she is naively unaware that Holden's view of her is virtually identical. Holden shares a fantasy he has been thinking about (based on a mishearing of Robert Burns' Comin' Through the Rye): he pictures himself as the sole guardian of numerous children running and playing in a huge rye field on the edge of a cliff. His job is to catch the children if they wander close to the brink; to be a "catcher in the rye." Because of this misinterpretation, Holden believes that to be a "catcher in the rye" means to save children from losing their innocence.
After leaving his parents' apartment, Holden drops by to see a former and much admired English teacher, Mr. Antolini, in the middle of the night, and is offered advice on life and a place to sleep. Mr. Antolini tells Holden that it is the mark of the mature man to live humbly for a cause, rather than die nobly for it. This is at odds with Holden's ideas of becoming a "catcher in the rye," a heroic figure who symbolically saves children from "falling off a crazy cliff" and being exposed to the evils of adulthood. During the speech on life, Mr. Antolini has a number of "highballs," referring to a cocktail served in a highball glass. Holden is upset when he wakes up in the night to find Mr. Antolini patting his head in a way that he regards as "flitty." There is much speculation on whether Mr. Antolini was making a sexual advance on Holden, but it is more likely that Holden does not recognize a fatherly gesture when he encounters one. Holden leaves and spends his last afternoon wandering the city. He later wonders if his interpretation of Mr. Antolini's actions was actually correct.
Holden makes the decision that he will head out west, and when he mentions these plans to his little sister, she decides she wants to go with him. Holden declines her offer and refuses to have her accompany him. This upsets Phoebe, so Holden does her a favor and decides not to leave after all. Holden tries to reverse her saddened mood by taking her to the Central Park Zoo. He realizes his mistake as she rides the carousel that lies within the zoo. At the conclusion of the novel, Holden decides not to mention much about the present day, finding it inconsequential. He alludes to "getting sick" and living in a mental hospital, and mentions that he'll be attending another school in September; he relates how he has been asked whether he will apply himself properly to study this time around and questions whether such a question has any meaning before the fact. Holden says that he has surprisingly found himself missing two of his former classmates, Stradlater and Ackley, and even Maurice, the elevator operator/pimp; and warns the reader that telling others about their experiences will lead them to miss the people who shared them, whoever they are: “Don’t ever tell anybody anything. If you do, you start missing everybody.”
Various older stories by Salinger contain characters similar to those in The Catcher in the Rye. While at Columbia University, Salinger wrote a short story called "Young Folks" in Whit Burnett's class; one character from this story has been described as a "thinly penciled prototype of Sally Hayes". In November 1941, Salinger sold the story "Slight Rebellion off Madison", which featured Holden Caulfield, to The New Yorker, but it was not published until December 21, 1946, due to World War II. The story "I'm Crazy", which was published in the December 22, 1945, issue of Collier's, contained material that was later used in The Catcher in the Rye. A ninety-page manuscript about Holden Caulfield was accepted by The New Yorker for publication in 1946, but it was later withdrawn by Salinger.
The Catcher in the Rye is written in a subjective style from the point of view of its protagonist, Holden Caulfield, following his exact thought processes. There is flow in the seemingly disjointed ideas and episodes; for example, as Holden sits in a chair in his dorm, minor events such as picking up a book or looking at a table, unfold into discussions about experiences.
When we looked deeply at Salinger's language we can see the effects of the unreliable narrator and Holden's over excited, disapproved, hyper actions. The word choice old, bastard and more is the reflection of Holden's psychosis and his problem which is not getting used to the truth; the truth that his brother Allie is dead. Salinger's sentence structure is disordered, streamed of conscious , truncated and short to make sure the reader understood Holden's problem.He emphasized Holden's ideas, reactions by repeating words and sentences which Holden used to impress himself.
- "Phony": Superficial, hypocritical, pretentious
- "That killed me": I found that hilarious or astonishing
- "Flit": Homosexual
- "Flitty": Homosexual behavior
- Wuddya:(the ya slang) vernacular rendering, idiomatic
Writer Bruce Brooks held that Holden's attitude remains unchanged at story's end, implying no maturation, thus differentiating the novel from young adult fiction. In contrast, writer and academic Louis Menand thought that teachers assign the novel because of the optimistic ending, to teach adolescent readers that "alienation is just a phase." While Brooks maintained that Holden acts his age, Menand claimed that Holden thinks as an adult, given his ability to accurately perceive people and their motives such as when Phoebe states that she will go out west with Holden, and he immediately rejects this idea as ridiculous, much to Phoebe's disappointment. Others highlight the dilemma of Holden's state, in between adolescence and adulthood. While Holden views himself to be smarter than and as mature as adults, he is quick to become emotional. "I felt sorry as hell for..." is a phrase he often uses.
Peter Beidler, in his A Reader's Companion to J.D. Salinger's "The Catcher in the Rye", identifies the movie that the prostitute "Sunny" refers to in chapter 13 of The Catcher in the Rye. She says that in the movie a boy falls off a boat. The movie is Captains Courageous, starring Spencer Tracy. Sunny says that Holden looks like the boy who fell off the boat. Beidler shows (page 28) a still of the boy, played by child-actor Freddie Bartholomew.
Each Caulfield child has literary talent: D. B. writes screenplays in Hollywood; Holden also reveres D. B. for his writing skill (Holden's own best subject), but he also despises Hollywood industry-based movies, considering them the ultimate in "phony" as the writer has no space for his own imagination, and describes D. B.'s move to Hollywood to write for films as "prostituting himself"; Allie wrote poetry on his baseball glove; and Phoebe is a diarist.[not in citation given] This "catcher in the rye" is an analogy for Holden, who admires in kids attributes that he struggles to find in adults, like innocence, kindness, spontaneity, and generosity. Falling off the cliff could be a progression into the adult world that surrounds him and that he strongly criticizes. Later, Phoebe and Holden exchange roles as the "catcher" and the "fallen"; he gives her his hunting hat, the catcher's symbol, and becomes the fallen as Phoebe becomes the catcher.
The Catcher in the Rye has been listed as one of the best novels of the 20th century. Shortly after its publication, writing for The New York Times, Nash K. Burger called it "an unusually brilliant novel," while James Stern wrote an admiring review of the book in a voice imitating Holden's. 41st United States president George H. W. Bush called it "a marvelous book," listing it among the books that have inspired him. In June 2009, the BBC's Finlo Rohrer wrote that, 58 years since publication, the book is still regarded "as the defining work on what it is like to be a teenager. Holden is at various times disaffected, disgruntled, alienated, isolated, directionless, and sarcastic." Adam Gopnik considers it one of the "three perfect books" in American literature, along with Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and The Great Gatsby, and believes that "no book has ever captured a city better than Catcher in the Rye captured New York in the fifties."
Not all reception has been positive, however; the book has had its share of critics. Rohrer writes, "Many of these readers are disappointed that the novel fails to meet the expectations generated by the mystique it is shrouded in. J. D. Salinger has done his part to enhance this mystique. That is to say, he has done nothing." Rohrer assessed the reasons behind both the popularity and criticism of the book, saying that it "captures existential teenage angst" and has a "complex central character" and "accessible conversational style"; while at the same time some readers may dislike the "use of 1940s New York vernacular," "self-obsessed central character," and "too much whining."
In 1960 a teacher was fired for assigning the novel in class; he was later reinstated.[dead link] Between 1961 and 1982, The Catcher in the Rye was the most censored book in high schools and libraries in the United States. In 1981 it was both the most censored book and the second most taught book in public schools in the United States. According to the American Library Association, The Catcher in the Rye was the tenth most frequently challenged book from 1990–1999. It was one of the ten most challenged books of 2005 and although it had been off the list for three years, it reappeared in the list of most challenged books of 2009. The challenges generally begin with Holden's frequent use of vulgar language, with other reasons including sexual references, blasphemy, undermining of family values and moral codes, Holden's being a poor role model, encouragement of rebellion, and promotion of drinking, smoking, lying, and promiscuity. Often the challengers have been unfamiliar with the plot itself. Shelley Keller-Gage, a high school teacher who faced objections after assigning the novel in her class, noted that the challengers "are being just like Holden... They are trying to be catchers in the rye." A reverse effect has been that this incident caused people to put themselves on the waiting list to borrow the novel, when there were none before.
Mark David Chapman's shooting of John Lennon (Chapman was arrested with his worn copy of the book, and inside, he had scribbled a note: "This is my statement, From Holden Caulfield."), Robert John Bardo's shooting of Rebecca Schaeffer, and John Hinckley, Jr.'s assassination attempt on Ronald Reagan have also been associated with the novel.
In 2009 Salinger successfully sued to stop the U.S. publication of a novel that presents Holden Caulfield as an old man. The novel's author, Fredrik Colting, commented, "call me an ignorant Swede, but the last thing I thought possible in the U.S. was that you banned books." The issue is complicated by the nature of Colting's book, 60 Years Later: Coming Through the Rye, which has been compared to fan fiction. Although commonly not authorized by writers, no legal action is usually taken against fan fiction since it is rarely published commercially and thus involves no profit. Colting, however, has published his book commercially. Unauthorized fan fiction on The Catcher in the Rye existed on the Internet for years without any legal action taken by Salinger before his death.
Early in his career, Salinger expressed a willingness to have his work adapted for the screen. However, in 1949, a critically panned film version of his short story "Uncle Wiggily in Connecticut" was released; renamed My Foolish Heart and taking great liberties with Salinger's plot, the film is widely considered to be among the reasons that Salinger refused to allow any subsequent movie adaptations of his work. The enduring popularity of The Catcher in the Rye, however, has resulted in repeated attempts to secure the novel's screen rights.
When The Catcher in the Rye was first released, many offers were made to adapt it for the screen; among them was Sam Goldwyn, producer of My Foolish Heart. In a letter written in the early fifties, J. D. Salinger spoke of mounting a play in which he would play the role of Holden Caulfield opposite Margaret O'Brien, and, if he couldn’t play the part himself, to “forget about it." Almost fifty years later, the writer Joyce Maynard definitively concluded, "The only person who might ever have played Holden Caulfield would have been J. D. Salinger."
J. D. Salinger told Maynard in the seventies that Jerry Lewis "tried for years to get his hands on the part of Holden," despite Lewis not having read the novel until he was in his thirties. Celebrities ranging from Marlon Brando and Jack Nicholson to Tobey Maguire and Leonardo DiCaprio have since made efforts to make a film adaptation. In an interview with Premiere magazine, John Cusack commented that his one regret about turning twenty-one was that he had become too old to play Holden Caulfield. Writer-director Billy Wilder recounted his abortive attempts to snare the novel's rights:
Of course I read The Catcher in the Rye....Wonderful book. I loved it. I pursued it. I wanted to make a picture out of it. And then one day a young man came to the office of Leland Hayward, my agent, in New York, and said, 'Please tell Mr. Leland Hayward to lay off. He’s very, very insensitive.' And he walked out. That was the entire speech. I never saw him. That was J. D. Salinger and that was Catcher in the Rye.
In 1961 J. D. Salinger denied Elia Kazan permission to direct a stage adaptation of Catcher for Broadway. More recently, Salinger's agents received bids for the Catcher movie rights from Harvey Weinstein and Steven Spielberg,[dead link] neither of which was even passed on to J. D. Salinger for consideration.
In 2003 the BBC television program The Big Read featured The Catcher in the Rye, intercutting discussions of the novel with "a series of short films that featured an actor playing J. D. Salinger's adolescent antihero, Holden Caulfield." The show defended its unlicensed adaptation of the novel by claiming to be a "literary review", and no major charges were filed.
After J. D. Salinger's death in 2010, Phyllis Westberg, who was Salinger's agent at Harold Ober Associates, stated that nothing has changed in terms of licensing movie, television, or stage rights of his works. A letter written by Salinger in 1957 revealed that he was open to an adaptation of The Catcher in the Rye released after his death. He wrote: "Firstly, it is possible that one day the rights will be sold. Since there's an ever-looming possibility that I won't die rich, I toy very seriously with the idea of leaving the unsold rights to my wife and daughter as a kind of insurance policy. It pleasures me no end, though, I might quickly add, to know that I won't have to see the results of the transaction."
In popular culture
References to The Catcher in the Rye in media and popular culture are numerous. Works inspired by the novel have been said to form their own genre. Dr. Sarah Graham assessed works influenced by The Catcher in the Rye to include the novels Less Than Zero by Bret Easton Ellis, The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky, A Complicated Kindness by Miriam Toews, The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath, and Ordinary People by Judith Guest.

Hearts of Oak duo, Thomas Abbey and Winful Cobbinah put up a scintillating performance in the first round of the league to keep their side ending the round with a seven matches unbeaten record while WAFA, sitting on top of the table have been inspired by the leadership and experience of midfield maestro Gideon Waja.
In-form Liberty Professionals skipper Samuel Sarfo and rocky WAFA defender Musah Nuhu take charge of the defence while Majeed Ashmeru and Winful Cobbinah lick around the midfield with the mercurial Gideon Waja while the attack is led by top scorer Nicholas Gyan of Dwarfs.
WAFA trainer Klaus Rasmussen emerged the coach of the first round while 4:1:4:1 was chosen as the system for the round.
- Razak Abalora (GK) – WAFA: The cat-like goalkeeper showed a lot of maturity and experience to guide the academy side to the top of the table. He conceded 9 goals in 15 matches, the second least number of goals conceded by a club in the first round. He kept 7 clean sheets and his output earned him a call up into the Black Stars ‘B’ side. Razak is lauded by many coaches for his high sense of intelligence in initiating attacks. His long kicks this season resulted in three of the goals scored by WAFA in the first round. He is responsible initiating a goal in their 4-0 win over Wa All Stars as well as in their 2-1 win over Elmina Sharks from sending long kicks to his attackers.
- Caleb Amankwah – WAFA: Caleb is another player who has ensured that WAFA have conceded 9 goals out of 15 matches in the first round. He is technically gifted and intelligent on and off the ball. ‘His technique is admirably unmatched,’ according to WAFA assistant coach Akakpo Patron. He made 15 appearances for the academy boys and by far the most consistent right back in the Ghana Premier League. He has one goal to his credit.
- Daniel Darkwah – Aduana Stars: Despite missing the opening two matches of the season, Darkwah picked up and commanded a starting role in the Aduana Stars set up until the end of the first round. Thus he made 13 appearances. The Black Stars ‘B’ left back provided one assist and scored one himself. Darkwah’s adaptation at the left back position has given the Ogya Boys dynamism in their defence as he is able to swiftly turn defence into attack in a counter attack play. His contribution at the back has ensured Aduana Stars are the lowest conceding side in the Premier League with just 8 goals in their net out of 15 matches. He has a goal to his name.
- Musah Nuhu – WAFA: Nuhu made 11 appearances for the Sogakope-based side and his contribution was hugely felt. He broke into the starting eleven of the side after match day 4 and has maintained his position in the team till date. He is one of the major reasons the Academy Boys are the second side in the league with a very strong defence. Conceding 9 goals in 15 matches for a side like WAFA is an impressive outing. Despite his total contribution to the side as a team player, Nuhu’s individual qualities of long and accurate passing as well as his agility and high sense of intelligence at the back are simply remarkable. His aggression always put fear in his opposing attackers and has provided a formidable shield in front of Razak Abalora, hence his ability to keep 7 clean sheets in 15 matches. He has grabbed two assists so far.
- Samuel Sarfo – Liberty Professionals: Despite his side struggling this season, Sarfo has been exceptional as a captain and as a defender. With 6 goals in 14 appearances as a defender, Sarfo’s achievement this season is hugely commendable. He is the highest scoring defender in the league and is 3rd on the goal king chart, closely following Nicholas Gyan and Thomas Abbey who have scored 7 and 8 respectively. He has two Man of the match awards to his credit. Sarfo’s aggression, skill and technique of ball distribution are unique. His aerial ball technique is simply fantastic. His hardwork has recently earned him a call up into the Black Stars ‘B’ side.
- Gideon Waja – WAFA: Waja has been the major inspiration for WAFA throughout bthe first round. His experience and maturity has guided the Academy Boys to the top of the table. With 15 appearances so far and 3 goals to his credit, Waja has marshalled the WAFA midfield with masterful skills. He is a master in passing the ball and leads his side like a wounded soldier. He has just one Man of the Match award to his credit and has earned a call up into the Black Stars ‘B’ side. He ended the first round with 3 assists.
- Benjamin Tweneboah – Elmina Sharks: For the first time playing in the Ghana Premier League, Tweneboah has been instrumental to the Elmina Sharks campaign. He has inspired his side to 11th on the table in their maiden season with his stupendous performance so far. With 15 appearances, Tweneboah has scored 4 goals, provided 4 assists and has won 4 Man of the Match awards. As a winger, his speed and take-on have made it difficult for defenders to handle him. His accurate crossing and great technique in passing are the reasons for his 4 assists so far. With his performance, earning a call up into the Black Stars ‘B’ looked automatic.
- Majeed Ashmeru – WAFA: Another WAFA midfielder who has been in tremendous form this season is Majeed Ashmeru. To many, he is responsible for the side’s explosive show this season. He is a great contributor to the 24 goals WAFA have scored so far with 6 great assists and 2 goals to his credit. He has merged Man of the Match on 3 occasions and scored what could be described as the goal of the season when he picked the ball from his own half, dribbled his marker, nutmegged David Abagna and wonderfully turned round the last defender before hitting the roof in their 4-0 massacre of Wa All Stars.
- Nicholas Gyan – Dwarfs: Ebusua Dwarfs are 8th on the table because Nicholas Gyan alone has scored 8 out of their 16 goals in the first round. He has been the main inspirational figure in the Dwarfs set up this far. His intelligence in front of goal makes him a good scorer and a perfect player. He emerged Man of the Match twice and assisted twice in the other 8 goals scored by his side. His leadership is a glaring definition of their wonderful show this season. He is a powerful goal scorer.
- Winful Cobinnah – Hearts: Even though Cobbinah became an active member of the Hearts set up after eight matches, he has meandered his way into the side with crafty display. He earned his first start of the season against Bechem United in a game Hearts won 4-2. He has just one Man of the Match award but his magnificent provision of assists to get his side score is amazing. He has provided 6 assists and scored twice, all free kicks. He is the life wire of the inspired Hearts side and his masterful display skill and technique is wonderful. He is a member of the Black Stars ‘B’ side due to his explosive performance in the first round.
- Thomas Abbey – Hearts: Leading the Hearts attack as a winger, Abbey has scored 7 goals and is second on the goal king chart behind Nicholas Gyan who has 8. He has only one Man of the Match award with two assists. Abbey a player who was nearly ditched by the Phobians last season has proved to be the most important player for their campaign this season. His versatility provides Coach Frank Nuttal with a variety of options whenever he is on the field of play. His brace against Liberty in the last game of the first round were just masterclass.
- Felix Annan – Kotoko: Despite Kotoko’s disappointing campaign so far, Annan has been magnificent in post. Annan kept 7 clean sheets in 14 appearances for Kotoko in the first round. His defensive organization and accurate passing skills are admirable. He is the reason for Kotoko’s great defensive record in the first round. Kotoko is tied with WAFA as the second team with the least number of goals in their net.
- Adams Abdul Wahab – Aduana Stars: Strength and aggression are the major attributes of Wahab. He has been a major contributor to Aduana Stars’ campaign this season. His aggression at the back, tremendous aerial advantage and magnificent organizational qualities has made it possible for Aduana to be the side with the least number of goals in the first round. Aduana boast of the best defence so far with just 8 goals in their net. They are currently 2nd on the table behind WAFA.
- Moro Ibrahim – Bolga All Stars: As a debutant in the Ghana Premier League, Moro has shot himself in front with some brilliant plays for Bolga All Stars. He has won three Man of the Match awards and his earned a call up into the Black Stars ‘B’ due to his splendid performance. Perhaps, he is a replica of former Ghana star Isaac Asare. He is versatile and plays very well as a winger.
- Ahmed Toure – Bechem United: Toure has introduced his experience to the Bechem United side and is a major reason why they are 5th on the table. He has one Man of the Match award to his credit and has scored 6 times out of the entire 16 goals scored by Bechem United so far. He is an intelligent attacker and a veteran in the Premier League.
- Stephen Sarfo – Berekum Chelsea: With 6 goals to his credit, Sarfo has been the turning point of Berekum Chelsea this season. He has played 13 times for the Berekum-based side and has been influential to their campaign.
- Justice Blay – Medeama SC: Another revelation of this season’s league. He has been very inspirational to Medeama’s campaign this season. He scored thrice in 15 appearances for his side and won one Man of the Match award.
- Joseph Paintsil – Tema Youth: Out of 14 appearances made this season, Paintsil won Man of the Match on three occasions. He scored 4 goals for his side and has been hugely instrumental to their campaign so far.

She said: “The only solution is to end the mullahs’ tyrannical rule and establish democracy and popular sovereignty.”
Despite the widespread suppressive measures by the Iranian Regime, people have been on strike in cities across Iran, from Orumieh to Marivan, Chabahar to Abhar, Sanandaj to Miandoab, heeding the call of the Iranian Resistance.
The Bazaar merchants, fed up with the Regime’s tyranny, are protesting against the increase in foreign exchange rates, inflation, unprecedented recession in the bazaar, high prices of goods, and the growing level of poverty. And as history shows, the Bazaar merchants are the bellwether for political feeling in Iran. They came out against the Shah mere months before he fell, which indicates that the Regime will soon fall.
As of 10.30 am yesterday, strikes were happening in Mashhad, Tabriz, Kermanshah, Zahedan, (Urmia), Karaj, Gorgan, Zanjan, Arak, Baneh, Saqqez, Paveh, Borazjan, Kazerun, Kenarak, Hirmand, Sardasht, Piranshahr, Iranshahr , Qom, Qazvin, Azarshahr, Maragheh, Isfahan, Shahreza, Mobarakeh, Shiraz, Caravan, Kermanshah, Rasht, Turkeman, Moghan, Bandar Gonaveh, Abhar, Nik Shahr, Rafsanjan and Saravan as well.
In the capital Tehran, the shopping centres, the carpet and gold coin markets, Sirus bazar, Satarkhan, the Grand Bazaar (Bazar-e Bozorg), and the shops in Kargar Avenue are closed.
In fact, the Iranian Resistance reports that by midday, markets in at least 45 cities had joined the strike, which rose to more than 50 by the end of the day. They were also able to get photos and videos of the protest through their intelligence network inside Iran.
According to merchants, the Regime’s security forces have threated to punish strikers, but that has yet to stop the striking workers, and the governor of Kermanshah has begged merchant to reopen their shops to no avail.
As previously mentioned, this wave of strikes is happening at the same time as the strike of Iran’s truck drivers, which has spread across all 31 provinces and through 318 cities. These strikes are part of a year of protest that Rajavi called for in March, following the uprising of December and January.

The Lost Fort
My Travel and History Blog, Focussing mostly on Roman and Mediaeval Times
'Twas King Arthurs Table Once - The Amphitheatre in Caerleon
Since gladiatorial fights, play performances, and the occasional public execution were so popular with the Romans, it's not that difficult to find the remains of amphitheatres. After the earth and timber one of Birten that may date as far back as Augustean times, we'll visit another one attached to a legionary fort, the stone and timber amphitheatre of Caerleon, dating to AD 90. In a lose series of blogposts, we'll move on to the grand 2nd and 3rd century stone amphitheatres of Trier and Chester, and finally visit the partly reconstructed one of Xanten, as well as the remains of the stage theatre in Mainz.
Roman amphitheatre in Caerleon
The amphitheatre of Caerleon is one of the prettiest today because the arena and the remains of the earthen support walls are overgrown with grass and make for a nice green oasis even on an overcast and dreary day.
To explain the title of this post:
Caerleon, the 'City of the Legions', has been connected with King Arthur since Nennius, author of the Historia Brittonum
(~ 820, though the date is not undisputed) mentioned the place as localisation of one of the tvelwe battles the dux bellorum
Arthur fought against the Saxon invaders (the most famous one is Mount Badon).
Remains of the southern entrance (seen from the arena)
Geoffrey of Monmouth, who was born not far from Caerleon, gives us a lively description of the City of the Legions in his Historia Regum Brittaniae
(1136). After he has not only defeated the Saxons, but conquered Scotland, Orkney, Ireland and even Norway, King Arthur holds court at Caerleon to receive hommage of the princes and warlords. Monmouth describes the situation of the city, the river Usk and the meadows and groves surrounding it. At that time more Roman remains had been visible than today, as a visit by Gerald of Wales in 1188 proves. He doesn't make a connection to Arthur, but he mentions a tower, the baths, and the many subterranean passages and hypocausts.
The French verse adaption of Monmouth's Historia
, de Wace's Brut
(1155), introduces the Round Table. The table had been connected with the remains of the amphitheatre when some of the French who came in support of Owain Glyndŵr, visited the site, and an Elisabethean poem makes the same connection (Thomas Churchyard, The Worthines of Wales
, 1587), albeit at that time a good deal of the stones had, erm .... migrated to the nearby houses.
Northern main entrance (with remains of the original pavement)
Caerleon, to the Romans knows as Isca Silurnum, was founded by S. Julius Frontinus, one of Vespasian's generals, in train of his conquest of the Silures AD 74 or 75. Isca was a legionary fort garrisoned by the Legio II Augusta - albeit not always in full strength - until about AD 290 when the fort was partly dismanted.
The fort lies in the territory of the Silures (let's show those pesky Welsh what a badass Roman army looks like), on a gently elevated plateau close to the river Usk, so that the garrison could by supplied by water - we know from my post about the Roman transport
on the Rhine how important that was.
As usual, the fort attracted a cannabae legionis
. The amphitheatre was situated in the settlement, near the public baths for the civilians.
The amphitheatre dates to about AD 90. The legionaries had to wait much longer for that than for their baths
; those were built the same time as the fort itself. The construction is interesting: a stone foundation of 4 metres height, filled with earth - the outer wall was 2 metres thick and buttressed to resist the pressure of the earth; the buttresses were repaired and reinforced several times. The outer layer of the walls was finished with smooth plaster decorated with red lines, imitating regular stones.
Above this was an open-framed timber grandstand with the wooden seating. It is assumed that it originally had been intended as temporary, but the amphitheatre never was completely rebuilt in stone, for whatever reason. It could hold 6000 spectators, that is, the entire legion plus guests (and the legion was rarely in Caerleon in its full strength, detachments would have been sent elsewhere).
North gate, from a different angle
The arena itself, somewhat below the outside ground level, is an oval of 56 x 41.5 metres, about the same size as Birten, though the latter looks much smaller today because of the trees and the partly collapsed earth walls. There were eight entrances; the ones on the long axis (north and south gates) were larger portae pompae
through which processions and parades could march. They were vaulted on both ends, but the ceiling in the middle was left open (makes you wonder if the governor, emperor or whoever commissioned the building got short of money halfway through). Those entrances did not give access to the seating.
The entrances were paved and the arena covered with fine sand; grass would have been way too slippery, esp. in wet Wales. There also is a drain running all the way from the north to the south gate and further down into the Usk river. The drain still works today.
Western entrance with 'gladiator cell'
The spectators would use the six remaining entrances. The entrances on the short axis had cells above the gate, between the staircases leading up to the seatings on both sides of the entrance. Those had access to both the outer staircase and the arena (by another small staircase) and held the gladiators or animals. The two gates also had a terrace and a private room above the gladiator cells at the inner stone wall level. Those were occupied by special guests.
The gate vaults were made of stone, but most of the inner construction was made of bricks. The brick wall of the 'gladator cell / animal pit' in the western entrance can still be seen. For some reason, the entrance was filled up to outer ground level during the renovations under Caracalla (AD 212), and access to the left staircase was blocked, which resulted in the gladiator cell opening only towards the arena. Today the level is back at the original one.
(The brick niche is visible above the remains of the arena gate)
The eastern gate was altered even more. During a renovation taking place around AD 125, one of the staircases was blocked and the gladiator cell was partly walled in and furnished with a counter for a ticket collector. I have no idea where gladiators and animals were kept at that time during the hours before they entered the arena.
Later the ground level was filled in, and a brick niche was inserted in the gladiator room which is assumed to have held a shrine dedicated to Nemesis, the goddess of fate and vengeance who was very popular with the gladiators (the arena in Chester has a Nemesis shrine as well). A leaden curse tablet asking Nemesis to do ill to the thief of a cloak and a pair of boots has been found on the site.
The 'chamber for honoured guests' must have been situated above the shrine.
The town of Caerleon had for a long time occupied but part of the former fort, but in the early 20th century, it threatened to extend further onto Roman remains. Fortunately, interest in the old remains grew, and a local excavation commitee was set up, led by the director of the National Museum of Wales, Sir Mortimer Wheeler. Wheeler started media campaigns to fund an excavation of the amphitheatre and buy Prysg Field where he assumed parts of the Roman fort could be found and which was going on the market as building land (it now shows the remains of some fort barracks). Excavations at the amphitheatre took place in 1909 and again 1926-27.
Today, the amphitheatre in Caerleon is the best preseved in Great Britain.

Baiting Bears and Torturing Martyrs - The Amphitheatre in Birten / Xanten
The first legionary fort on the Fürstenberg hill near Xanten, known as Castra Vetera I, goes back to at least 12 BC when Drusus started his campaigns into Germania. Digs during the first third of the 20th century have shown a number of at least five forts that were built partly over each other, so that most traces of the older ones have been obscured. Moreover, the first forts had been constructed in half-timbered style with earth or timber/earth walls. Aerial surveys in the last years have rendered more traces of those. But the best-researched is the fort from Nero's time that later got destroyed during the Batavian rebellion in AD 70.
Amphitheatre Birten, entrance
After the war, the fort was rebuilt nearby as Vetera II, in a space now under the waters of the shifting Rhine. The various version of Vetera I lie under agricultural fields these days.
Vetera I had been a fort for two legions since the time of Germanicus (AD 14) if not earlier. As such it attracted a cannabae legionis
, but those civilian settlements have left even fewer traces and were never really researched, though aerial surveys show a regular Roman street pattern outside the Neronic fort, so one can conclude that the the place became a Roman-planned settlement at some point. There also seems to have been a 100 metres 'safety distance' between fort and settlement. View from above the spectator rows
The cannabae were destroyed during the Batavian rebellion as well, and when the fort was moved, a new settlement - later to become Colonia Ulpia Traiana - was created in the place that now hosts the Archaeological Park. The only remains of the old cannabae today is an amphitheatre in the village of Birten.
When we think of amphitheatres today, we have an image of the often stunning stone buildings that are spread all over the Roman Empire. But they started out much smaller: For a long time, the arenas for gladitorial combat were timber structures that would be dismantled again after the performances. But some of those collapsed and killed people, so during the time of Caesar, the specatator rows more and more often were erected on firm ground, using natural slopes or earth and timber walls (like Augustean fortifications), and eventually developed into stone buildings which also allowed for much larger constructions.View from the arena to the entrance
Leginonaries got grumpy when they couldn't watcht the occasional gladiator fight or bear baiting (bear bones have been found in Birten), so it's no surprise that a large fort like Vetera would eventually get its own amphitheatre. It's an oval earthern structure of 98 x 84 metres; the arena proper measures 55.5 x 42.5 metres. The walls had originally been 8 metres high, and the theatre could hold 10.000 spectators. The seats once had been of wood, but now there are modern chairs on one side of the arena because the theatre is used for concerts and play performances today. It's a pretty place, surrounded by trees and deceivingly peaceful, considering its violent past.Another view from above
A reason the amphitheatre survived is its connection with the martyr St.Victor who is said to have been executed in the arena. Victor was a member of the Theban legion of legends and Christian historiography. It is said to have been a 3rd century legion entirely converting to Christian faith, which got decimated several times on the march through the Alpes, France and along the Rhine. Victor and some 300 of his men were the last ones to end that way - well, Xanten was the last place to kill them before they would have reached the sea. The legion became the collection bin for pretty much every saint along the way, most prominently among them St.Maurice (aka St.Mark).The reconstructed amphitheatre in the APX Xanten
I don't know why the connection was made between Victor and Birten in the Middle Ages; if he was indeed member of a Roman legion and executed for his faith somewhere near Xanten, the stone amphitheatre in the Colonia Ulpia Traiana would have been a more likely place. It was still in use at the time of Constantin the Great († AD 337), while Victor's martydom took place somewhat earlier. One explanatiion could be the fact that the veneration of St.Victor can be traced clearly only to the 8th century, and by then a transfer of the legend to the amphitheatre in Birten would be possible.Sources:

Forward, Drifting North on Ice - The Fram Museum in Oslo
And now for something completely different that's not Roman or Mediaeval. After visiting the Viking Ship Museum and a stave church in Oslo, I had some time left and decided to take a jump to the late 19th / early 20th century and look at the Fram; Fridtjof Nansen's ship for polar expeditions. The ship is located inside a hall today, so I couldn't take a shot of the complete vessel; you'll get her in bits and pieces.
That's what the Fram 1 looked like. Fram means 'Forward', btw, thus the title of the post.
Model of the Fram-1
In the late 19th century, the poles were some of the few white spots left on the world map. One of the Arctic explorers trying to tackle those white spots was the Norwegian Fridtjof Nansen. He liked cold, ice and snow, it seems, because he'd already done fun things like crossing Greenland on ski. Visiting the North Pole was another voyage no one had done before, and so he put it on his To Do List (which also included finishing his PhD in Zoology and participating in ski jumping competitions).
Nansen was convinced there must be a current floating from Asia to a point between Greenland and Svalbard which might corss the North Pole. Not many people believed him, so Nansen looked for a way to prove it. Sticking something into the ice near Siberia and watch it come out near Svalbard sounded like an idea. Nansen wanted to stick an entire ship into the ice, plus he could get a free ride to the pole that way. Now, the problem with ice is that it can crack a wooden ship like a nut. Nansen needed a special ship that would be pushed onto the ice instead of ending up as ship haggis between the ice blocks, and he needed money.
View from the bridge of the Fram to the quarterdeck
Nansen managed to convince the Norwegian National Assembly to grant him a fund, and he also found some private contributors (weren't that good times when people were willing to invest money in something that would not give them any profit but 'only' knowledge?). Nansen, Otto Sverdrup, another Arctic explorer, and Colin Archer, a ship architect whose parents had imigrated from Scotland, put their heads together and designed the Fram
The ship should be small and light, but sturdy, yet offer enough comfort for a dozen men to live onboard for what looked like years. What they came up with was a three mast schooner of 39 metres length, a beam of 11 metres, a draught of 5 metres (which makes her unusually wide and shallow) and a displacement of 800 tons. The hull was designed in a way that it would be lifted onto the ice. Moreover, the Fram
has almost no keel; rudder and propeller could be retracted into the ship. The outer layer is made of extremely durable greenheart wood. Besides the sails, the Fram
has a triple expansion steam engine, and could make a speed of 7 knots (13 km/h). There was also a windmill to generate electricity for the lamps (that would come handy during the polar nights).
Fram (with Sverdrup's changes), the hull
set out on her first expedition on June 24, 1893. Fridtjof Nansen as leader of the scientific part and Otto Sverdrup as captain were among the thirteen brave souls to participate in the adventure. They left Oslo and went along the Norwegian coast all the way do Vardø at the Barent Sea (that's an extended Hurtigruten tour there, lol). They stopped in Bergen, Trondheim and Tromsø where our explorers were celebrated and banquetted even before they had explored anything. On July 21, they departed for the route to Novaya Semlya and some other Russian harbours where they took in dogs, and further to the North Siberian Islands. They reached the ice on September 22 and the long journey back to somewhere near Svalbard began.
A few days later, the rudder and propeller were taken in, the dogs moved to kennels on the ice, and the men made themselves comfortable.The ship rose and fell with the ice pressure but didn't suffer any damage. Polar night set in on October 25.
Boredom seems to have been one of the biggest problems (I think the men would have loved the idea of e-readers and Netflix; the piano on board only went so far, obviously). The drift was about 1 mile per day (1.6 km/h; which is still better than the speed in a London rush hour). Only once, in January 1895, the pressure of the ice became so dangerous that the men put the equipment out onto the ice and prepared for abandoning the ship, but the Fram
held and was pushed out of the trap.
View from the bridge to the bow (the bowsprit is visible close to the wall)
During the summer 1894, Nansen realised that the Fram
would drift quite a bit away from the pole. He had planned to reach the North Pole on an excursion if the ship wouldn't touch it, and now began preparations for a nice little walk on the ice. Sledges and Inuit style kayaks were built; Nansen started to learn the job of a musher and had the men train skiing. It soon turned out that a combination of the men skiing and the dogs dragging the sleds with proviant and equipment was the best way to proceed.
Nansen intended to reach the pole, then continue to the Franz Josef Land archipelago and further to Svalbard on the pack ice, using kayaks to cross open waters, and get a hike back home from there (he must have been quite an optimist; that island isn't exactly located on a main shipping route). He had no illusions about ever again finding his little ship drifting in a vast desert of ice without GPS.
Nansen and Hjalmar Johansen, a world championship athlete with a fondness for adventure and, as it turned out, a good hand with dogs, who had hired on the Fram
as stoker, set off on March 14, 1895, with the ship at 84°4'N. They brought three dog sleds with equipment and food.
The diesel engine added by Amundsen in 1910
At first, the men made good progress, but eventually, the terrain became more difficult to traverse, with "a veritable chaos of ice blocks stretching as far as the horizon," as Nansen noted in his diary with half-frozen fingers. They also hit a southerly drift that carried them off, and began to run low on food if they wanted it to last for the retour pass to Franz Josef Land. On April 7, Nansen decided they would turn back. They had reached 86°14'N, the closest to the North Pole anyone had ever gotten by then.
The return journey to Franz Josef Land was a difficult and dangerous one. Since it was summer, the ice broke up and forced the men to cross open water and floes. Provisions ran even lower, and they had to kill most of the dogs. The men had to camp on a floe for a month in July, though by that time they could add seals and birds to the diet.
Soon thereafter they reached the end of the pack ice and sailed over to Franz Josef Land on a catamaran which they had created by lashing the two kayaks together, fixing the sleds on top, and setting up a makeshift sail.
Futher progress to Svalbard was hindered by the approaching Arctic winter - the first ice began to form again - and on August 28, Nansen decided they would spend the winter on the archipelago. They built a pit house style hut of stone, moss and walrus skins. Food was less of an issue at the coast; there was plenty of polar bear, walrus and fish to stock up on. It would later turn out that the men had gained some weight despite their privations and exercise. Walrus blubber does that to you, obviously. Walrus oil also provided burning material for lamps.
Nansen and Johansen spent eight months there, being pretty bored (not even a piano around this time). On May 19, 1896, they set off along the coast in search of a spot to cross over to Svalbard. That trip surely was not boring. They were attacked by a walrus, Nansen once had to swim in barely liquid water to catch the eloping kayaks, and other fun. But they had some luck this time. Before they set out for Svalbard on that questionable catamaran, the men met with another expedition at Cape Flora in the south of the achipelago. The British explorer Frederick G. Jackson picked them up, gave them a bath and a haircut, and ride back on his supply ship, the Windward
. Nansen and Johansen arrived in Vardø on August 13, 1896.
Fram, view to the stern
Meanwhile, the Fram
, under command of Otto Sverdrup, continued to drift in the ice. Boredom was still an issue, so Sverdrup orderd all sorts of programs to keep people busy, from spring cleaning the ship to skiing practice. Research was also going on; the Fram
had developed into a biological, oceanographic, and meteorological laboratory. They data the men collected would take years to evaluate and publish.
The ship reached open waters again pretty much at the spot near Svalbard which Nansen had predicted the same day Nansen arrived in Vardø: on August 13, 1896, and on August 20, the Fram
arrived in the little harbour of Skjervøy in Norway. Six days later, Sverdrup and the crew of the Fram
met with Nansen and Johansen in Tromsø where they were celebrated. The way back along the coast to Oslo (then still named Christiania) likened a triumphal parade with a lot more stops and banquets than three years ago. In Oslo the explorers were received by the king and invited to an extra big banquet (I bet the guys stayed away from any scale those weeks).
Foredeck with anchor chain
Nansen's successful expedition - the first into the polar zones from which all members returned safely - started a wave of interest in Arctic explorations. Otto Sverdrup was to lead the Fram
north again to chart and explore the northern fjords of Greenland and the Canadian Arctic Islands. It would be the most scientific of the ship's journeys, taking place from June 1898 to September 1902. The material brought back was even more extensive than that gathered during the first expedition; it was published in 5 volumes between 1919 - 1930 (and that's not counting the 2000 glass containers with samples).
Sverdrup had altered the Fram
a bit, raising the freeboard by 6 feet and adding a new deck that extended from the engine and could hold six more cabins - his team had 16 members instead of 13, and more space was welcome. This is the version we can see today.
Steering wheel on the quarterdeck
On Sverdrup's return, the Fram
was laid up, but it was not the end of her voyages. Roald Amundsen would take her to the Antarctic on his South Pole expedition
(1910-1912) but I'll leave that for another post, together with some photos of the interior of the Fram
and the museum exhibits.

Castles of the Welsh Princes - Criccieth Castle 2: King Edward's Buildings
Edward's conquest of Wales should get its own post because he's to blame for some of those big castles I visited, but I'd need to find some reliable books or essays to draw upon. Well, here's a short version for starters.
Despite the Treaty of Montgomery, Llywelyn ap Gruffydd continued to face troubles with his Welsh neighbours (esp. the princes of Powys and Deheubarth) who didn't like being the vassals of another Welsh prince; the English Marcher lords who kept trying to nibble bits off Wales; and his brother Dafydd who, like any good Welsh brother, tried to kill Llywelyn and, when the plot failed, ran off to the king of England.
Criccieth Castle seen from the town
When Edward I ascended to the throne and summoned Llywelyn to renew his oath of fealty, Llywelyn replied that Edward should first address his grievances about Marcher lords and hiding brothers. From Edward's point, Llywelyn's refusal to swear fealty was, of course, treason. Moreover, Llywelyn was planning to marry Eleanor de Montfort, a daughter of that rebellious baron.
So Edward kidnapped Eleanor, took her into royal custody, and declared war on Llywelyn in 1276. Several of the Welsh rulers fell over each other to make peace with Edward (isn't that so
Welsh?), and so the King of England could surround Llywelyn's lands and force him to surrender without too much trouble. The treaty of Aberconwy restored more or less the situation of the 1240ies: Llywelyn's possessions and feudal influence were reduced to the lands of his family, he had to pay out his brother's share in the heritage, accept the king's right to build castles and overall was reduced to a vassal at the king's beck and call, though he was allowed to keep the title Prince of Wales and marry Eleanor.Inner curtain wall seen from inner ward
Edward could have had peace, but he overacted his authority and hammered it home to the Welsh lords who was boss. Plus he sent his lawyers in and they did what lawyers do best: dragging out processes and finding loopholes to use English law instead of the Welsh one. By 1282, Edward I had managed to alienate pretty much every Welsh noble in the area he had conquered a few years earlier; including Llywelyn's brother Dafydd. This second war - not a punitive expedition like in 1276, but a war of conquest - would not be an easy win for Edward; he had to fight for every castle and every path in the mountains because the Welsh had realised what was at stake.
Unfortunately for the Welsh, Edward could draw upon military ressources and money not all the Welsh chiefs combined could muster, and he was a skilled commander who went on his campaigns very methodically. Nevertheless, it took Llywelyn's death in an ambush for the Welsh resistance to break. Dafydd was captured and exedcuted by quartering soon thereafter. The war ended with a complete conquest of Wales in June 1283. In the following year, the Principality of Wales was incorporated into the English system of administration with counties policed by sheriffs, and English settlement in Wales increased.Outer ward
Edward had started to build castles in northern Wales already after 1277 (like Rhuddlan and Aberystwyth) but now he planted some real monsters: Caernarfon, Conwy, Harlech, Beaumaris. I've already introduced you to the man tasked with building those castles: Master James of St.George
. Edward had been on a crusade, and so he and his leading architect introduced some features from the castles in the Holy Land, like arrowslits (thus those may have been part of the later additions to the gate towers in Criccieth) and the concentric layout.
Criccieth was taken by English forces in 1283, and renovated and extended (a job that was finished only in 1292). Master James got £ 500 for the task, a considerable sum at that time, which proves that Edward saw the strategic importance of the castle. South-east tower (Leyburn Tower)
Among the added features was another tower adjacent to the wall of the inner ward, Leyburn Tower, which overlooked the northern gate. The main gate towers had another storey added, and the so called Engine Tower was either built or at least refortified by Edward (or rather, Master James).
The Engine Tower and the northern curtain wall are subject to some discussion about whether they were already built by Llywelyn ap Gruffydd or date to the time of Edward. The curtain wall extends the landward protections of Llywelyn the Great in a seamless way and thus could well date to his grandson's additons; after all, Llywelyn ap Gruffydd also added the seaward curtain wall and outer bailey at the south side. It would then have made sense to build a tower in the outermost corner, thus dating the first version of the Engine Tower to Llywelyn. The massive structure we can see today dates to the time of Edward, though.Way along the landward curtain wall with view to Engine Tower in the background
The tower got its name because it served as foundation for a catapult that could reach any attackers from the land side, and that was an Edwardian feature as well. Siege warfare became more important, and more deadly.
As mentioned in the first post, the principial residence during the times when members of House Aberffraw lived in the castle had been the south-west tower. But with the added storey under Edward, the main gate towers also became the main lodgings, and timber buildings, including a great hall, were erected in the inner bailey - one may wonder if they were planned to be replaced by stone buildings like in Caernarfon; though in both cases that step was never made. Remains of the Engine Tower
You didn't think the Welsh would meekly accept English overlordship, big castles or no, did you? Well, you're right. Two years after Criccieth Castle had partaken in the House Overhaul Program, a distant relation of Llywelyn ap Gruffydd, one Madoc ap Llywelyn (he styled himself Prince of Wales), rose against the English. The rebellion quickly spread - Edward still hadn't learned how to make friends, it seems - and several towns were razed, Caernarfon taken; the castles of Criccieth, Harlech and Aberystwyth were besieged. The English garrison at Criccieth could hold out because they got supplies by sea. But this uprising ended like the ones before. Edward managed to win the battle of Maes Moydog, Madoc was taken prisoner, the English sheriffs, lawyers and tax collectors reinstalled in Wales .... and the next Prince of Wales would be English: Edward II, born in Caernarfon Castle 1301. Outer gatehouse seen from outer ward
Criccieth was captured by the Welsh in another rebellion, though, that of Owain Glyndŵr which lasted several years (1400-1412). This time the garrison could not get resupplied by sea because Owain had the support of the French and a nice little fleet at his disposal. The castle fell in 1404 and was partly destroyed - there are still some scorch marks to be seen.
The rebellion was put down by Henry IV after the French had withdrawn their support, and Owain Glyndŵr vanished into the Welsh mountains and legends. Criccieth obviously lost its importance as coastal fortress and mostly disappears from the sources. It was in possession of the Lords of Harlech until 1933 when it came under the protection of the CADW trust. Sources:

You have no items in your shopping cart.
Have you seen tired mothers lugging those enormous pink and blue diaper bags and you sighed because you knew you had to carry those exact things at one point of your life? Have you wondered how horrible they’ll look with your own outfit and how cumbersome they will be to handle along with your sprightly baby during your travels? In this era of style and fashion, we are sure no mom or dad would like to be caught dead with one of those monstrosities.
Fortunately for you, nowadays, having a child and being a parent does not necessarily mean the downfall of your future to bulky clothes and ever bulkier accessories. Keeping in mind the significance of utility and the idea of “looking good”, the fashion icons of the world put their heads together and designed the most beautiful thing that a new parent can rock—the Backpack Diaper Bag.
Diaper bags are definitely one of your official gears once you start treading the treacherous waters of parenthood and it is extremely important to make sure that the said bag can provide you with the utmost utility. So, what are the features that you needed for your perfect diaper bag? It is simply really—something which could be:
It is here that the backpack diaper bag comes in handy! Having a smart backpack perched on your shoulders while you take care of your young one, just transforms your entire aura into that of an uber cool version of your older self.
You might be wondering what’s so exceptionally cool about backpack diaper bags that make us rave about it so much. Let’s count, shall we!
As a parent of a newborn, you are always required to take care of your little one in every possible way. Having the diaper bag on your back therefore helps you navigate yourself, your baby as well as the innumerable things that your baby needs a lot more smoothly than when having a shoulder bag which always seems to slip off of your shoulders.
Your baby always needs so many baby gears with them that a diaper bag usually tends to become extremely heavy. Having it on your back therefore distributes the weight evenly, making it easy for carrying and good for your back.
We cannot emphasise how important pockets are for diaper bags. Having so many things to carry all the time it is always extremely important to distribute them properly so that you don’t have to rummage around the bag for hours just to find a diaper or your baby’s tiny pacifier. Backpack diaper bags are amazing that way since they provide you with a number of different sized pockets for a multi-purpose function and to always keep all your necessities safe and in place.
As mentioned earlier, neutrality of the bag is key. No mom or dad or anyone for that matter would want to be caught dead with one of those old fashioned, bulky shoulder monstrosities nowadays. Thus, with sober yet stylish colours, backpack diaper bags are an epitome of fashion and utility. Try it, you will not regret it!
Lastly, these backpack diaper bags are versatile enough to grow up with your baby. The suitable and unique design of these bags helps them not become obsolete once your baby has grown up. Once the nursing and diaper changing stages are over, these bags can be transformed into travel or laptop bags, even your child’s school bag for that matter. These bags are made for the long run!
You will find all of this and more in Motherly’s Backpack Diaper Bags.
Motherly’s backpack diaper bag is everything that you need for you and your “baby’s day out”!

Q: What is egg lecithin?
A: Egg Lecithin is the fat found in egg yolks. This fat is also called egg phospholipid, and is the source of DHA and ARA fatty acids.
Q: Why did you add organic egg lecithin to Baby’s Only Organic® with DHA & ARA formulas?
A: Nature’s One® strives to always make organic better. In doing so, we actively seek the highest quality organic ingredients that meet both consumer needs and our demand for continuously improving our products. Nature’s One® expended considerable resources to obtain certified organic hens and their organic eggs as our source of certified organic egg lecithin. We now have the only truly organic source of DHA & ARA (fatty acids) along with naturally occurring choline and lutein. We continually strive to support consumer expectations of organics in seeking ingredients that you can be sure meet these expectations and will continue to seek ingredients to support and improve our organic formulas.
Q: What are the main differences between the previous version of Baby’s Only Organic® DHA & ARA Formulas and the new version?
A: The main differences are:
- addition of organic egg lecithin from certified organic hens and their organic eggs to continue to provide DHA, ARA, and choline;
- the added benefit of naturally occurring lutein in the organic egg lecithin;
- new label that highlights Organic DHA, Choline, and Lutein.
Q: What exactly is lutein?
A: Lutein is a Vitamin A-like compound in the family of carotenoids found in common fruits and vegetables. Carotenoids are plant pigments that provide the bright red, yellow and orange colors to fruits and vegetables. Carotenoids are sometimes referred to as phytonutrients or plant chemicals and help plants absorb light energy needed for growth. They also function as antioxidants. Good sources of lutein include leafy green vegetables like spinach and kale, peas, broccoli, corn, and egg yolk. When your little one is ready for solid foods, these foods can also be a source of lutein.
Lutein functions in the body as an antioxidant and is unique in being highly concentrated in the eye’s retina.1 Lutein protects the eye from oxidative damage and damage from high-energy light such as blue light or ultraviolet light. Lutein is also the predominant carotenoid in the brain2 and helps to protect fatty acids like DHA and ARA from oxidation.3
Just like all other carotenoids, lutein cannot be made by the body and must come from foods. The amount of lutein in human milk varies greatly depending upon mom’s diet.4 The source of the lutein in other formulas and in lutein supplements usually come from marigold flowers 5,6 and may be extracted by non-organic processes. The source of lutein in Baby’s Only Organic® formulas is from organic egg lecithin, a fat in organic egg yolks, and is also thought to be better absorbed by the body than other sources such as supplements or spinach. 7

Q: Where does the choline in Baby’s Only Organic® formulas with organic DHA & ARA come from?
A: The choline in our organic DHA & ARA containing formulas is a natural component of the organic egg lecithin sourced from organic egg yolks. Choline is an essential nutrient necessary for the structure and function of all cells in the body and is especially important during periods of rapid growth and development. According to an article* in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition, "pregnancy and lactation are periods when maternal reserves of choline are depleted. At the same time, the availability of choline for normal development of the brain is critical." Thus, choline-rich foods are important in pregnancy, lactation, infancy and childhood. The choline found in Baby's Only Organic® Formulas with DHA & ARA is derived from the organic egg lecithin, a fat in organic egg yolks used also as the source of choline and lutein and is, therefore, an excellent and natural source of choline and these other nutrients.

Trump Taj Mahal Casino
While nonetheless expensive, going straight to the system maker was nonetheless manner cheaper than the net re-seller and assured that I obtained the actual deal. The cool thing is that telephone cameras are considerably delicate to IR gentle, so pointing your phone digicam at a poker cheating system will show the massive blast of gentle. Next to it, there are three hid IR LEDs that illuminate the deck to make the markings on the playing cards visible to the digicam. In a current research by the Pew Research Organization, members of all three generations had been asked if their era was distinctive. “I thought, ‘My future is pitch-black,’ ” he mentioned over a lunch of spaghetti Bolognese and kimchi on a recent day. While I see these posts roll round each month, at this time I’m becoming a member of within the enjoyable! Do you play for fun or play for actual? Also, by signing as much as play and deposit on a number of casinos once you lastly begin playing for real money is the solution to go. The best way for example this habits, as visible in the picture above, is to take an image of the gadget while it is powered on at nighttime with a camera with no IR filter.
Outside of the dedicated app, there isn’t any strategy to interact with the cheat hardware. The problem with all the sellers I found was that the value was very steep (!) and there was little or no description whatsoever of how the gadget operates. With a bit follow, it is definitely fairly straightforward to position the gadget with out the assistance of the digicam view. Using a modified telephone as a cheating device provides the key advantage that it is unimaginable to inform that it’s a cheating gadget until you already know what to look for. Larry have been of their office, utilizing the whiteboard, making an attempt to suppose up a good title-one thing that associated to the indexing of an immense quantity of data. Also to my shock, the machine not solely allows to cheat at Poker but to cheat at nearly any kind of card video games you can think of. Inspecting the few screenshots of the device obtainable on resellers websites, allowed me to determine who was the producer of the device: a factory situated in China. After a few rounds of negotiation, I used to be ready to acquire the gadget, some accessories and a few marked decks for roughly thanks to the assistance of my Chinese contacts.
Upon powering up the device, the familiar interface hundreds up and the only potential inform that this telephone is perhaps special is that it runs with a custom Chinese 4.2.2 ROM. As seen within the screenshot above, the cheating interface appears within the app menu as a traditional Android app that is just named “game”. Note at the highest of the screen the typo, which shows that the interface was rushed out. The picture is rotated by -ninety diploma with the highest of the deck being on the left and the bottom on the proper. This picture is mainly used to regulate the machine relative to the deck to ensure the playing cards are read accurately. On the other hand, there are those players who favor playing for real cash, without wasting plenty of time on the free slot games. People with targets to grasp about these on-line slot and numerous particulars can appear absolve to go to this web site.
There’s nonetheless quite a lot of floor to make up in supplying advanced slot machines seen at all casinos, but when the machines pay, why not play? But this might be the truth which remains the very same often that on-line casinos are a lot more profitable than land based mostly casinos. Their surveillance groups are highly educated and expert in picking out the potential cheats on the viejas casino bus schedule ground. This game is played adjoining to the casino. The game hall menu lists all of the games supported by the device with a fundamental description of each. The purchased display screen, seen above, allows you to pick out which sport the system will analyze. The most important ones are: the sport hall, which allows you to activate or buy more games; the settings menu, which allows you to configure the system; and the bought display, which activates the cheating system for a given game. Upon clicking on a game, you end up in the principle cheating display, showcased within the screenshot above. Upon ordering the poker dishonest device I kinda anticipated, based mostly on the screenshots I had seen early on, to get a devoted piece of hardware that kinda seemed like a fake cellphone.

NEWSFLASH: update on Jan 7th, 12th, 19th, and Feb 7th (see end of article)
Today I got an email from a LAStools user at NOAA pointing out a new entry in the ArcGIS 10.2 documentation of ESRI that mentions a *.zlas format for the first time. This may have been an oversight at ESRI since there was no press release, blog post, etc preceding this documentation update (that happened 11 days ago). A screenshot of the entry can be found below.
I have heard about LAS compression by ESRI since Gene mentioned it in a blog entry after ESRI’s 3D Mapping and LiDAR Forum. Back then I throught they were talking about LAZ and that our 1.5 years of talking about including support for LASzip-compressed LiDAR into ArcGIS were finally getting somewhere. But turns out they have been doing their own thing. Here some rumors I have heard about ESRI’s new *.zlas format:
- similar compression rates as LAZ
- includes spatial indexing
- (maybe) re-orders points during compression
- performance is like laszip.exe or better
- will be available in ArcGIS 10.2.1
- can be used without the LAS Dataset
- “free” Windows executable will be available soon
- development libraries with API will follow
- ESRI has been giving data providers heads up that clients may soon demand this format
My first thought was that this might be a reengineered version of the LizardTech LiDAR CompressorTM but it is not. This seems to be ESRI’s own development. Does anyone have more details on this?
What was their motivation? Is LAZ too slow for them? I would have happily adressed whatever LASzip was lacking as (compatible) extensions to the LAZ format – which has become de-facto standard for LiDAR compression and is open source. But instead they invested serious money and man-power into creating an entirely new format. Anyone want to speculate why …?
UPDATE (January 7th): It is official now. Apparently, Gene who has mentioned our rumors on his blog just received heads up from Clayton Crawford at ESRI that the LAS Optimizer is available for download here. The EzLAS.zip file contains a PDF with interesting details. Below a snapshot of the GUI and what the website says:
- The standalone executable does not require an ArcGIS install or license.
- The same executable is used for both compression and decompression.
- The download zip file contains more information and help in an included pdf document.”
Apparently, ArcGIS 10.2.1 is available for general release on January 7th and will support direct read of optimized LAS (*.zlas) via the LAS dataset. Now it’s your turn to try out what ESRI has cooked up and comment … (-:
UPDATE (January 9th): I was told that ESRI will be releasing an “official statement” soon explaining why they have developed their own LiDAR compression format. And they really should do so. I have received (and continue to receive) a fair number of “off-the-record” emails from people across the industry expressing feelings that range between “disappointment”, “anger”, and “disgust” over what is seen as an attempt to sabotage our multi-year effort of creating an open, free, and efficient compressed LiDAR exchange format … time for some xkcd humor.
UPDATE (January 12th): This might just be that “official statement“. Seems someone is really trying hard to avoid using the word LASzip … (-;
UPDATE (January 19th): The story has been picked up by a number of blogs like Paul Ramsey’s “LiDAR format wars“, James Fee’s “LAS, LAZ, LASzip, zLAS and You“, and Randal Hale’s “LiDAR and your software“.
UPDATE (February 7th): The front-lines harden as an unlikely coalition of open source knights, laser guardians, imperial agencies, and competing thugs forms a rebel movement against the approaching Desri Star who threatens the free world announcing that the dArcG is going to spawn “parallelized LAZ clones“. Encrypted instructions to Jedis spread like “Point Clouds on the Horizon” “Towards an Open Future” as the insurgency prepares a better future for compression, free of proprietary oppression. The clone wars might be starting soon. Will the FOSS be with LAZ? (-;

We received two questions recently about jobs, both from readers named Lisa:
I was laid off November 21, 2008. When will I have a job?
This year’s big aspect, the Saturn-Uranus opposition, is conjunct my MC (Uranus) and IC (Saturn). Consequently, I quit my job last year and have only just found something better, but I’m wondering if Uranus/Saturn has not quite finished with me yet and if I should be ready to move jobs again during the year.
Lisa, London, England
Lisa in Tallahassee, Jupiter is currently making his way through your sixth house along with Neptune, Chiron and Mars. It is possible as Jupiter moves closer to your Part of Fortune, conjoining it the second week in April, you will feel more positive about finding a position that suits you.
Neptune is no longer squaring your Moon, as it was for most of January and February, creating confusion between your dreams and reality. Take advantage of feeling increasingly clear about your goals to make plans for moving ahead.
I realize that Saturn transiting your first house is not the most upbeat transit, but you can effectively present yourself as a reliable person. This might really work in your favor in today’s tight job market, where competence and reliability are going to play well.
Good luck and do your best to stay positive, Lisa.
To Lisa in London, with your Aries stellium in the tenth house, you are very well suited to life as a professional mover and shaker. If you feel a little let down at the moment, it’s probably because Venus up and turned retrograde just before she made it to your Mars, Venus and Sun. However, after Venus turns direct on April 17, she will be back to sweeten your life by mid-May.
Currently, Uranus and the Sun are conjunct your Midheaven, and Saturn has moved back into your third house. When Saturn finally crosses your Nadir in August, just before the third exact opposition of Saturn and Uranus, I am willing to bet you will be very relieved. Saturn in Virgo pretty much demands we pay attention to the details, and in the third house, it’s all about finding the right words to get our point across.
If you do change jobs, it will likely be your choice and because you find a situation that offers you more creative options.
Hey, enjoy Venus extending her stay in Aries and in your tenth house. With your Saturn return coming next year, life is bound to get a bit more serious, as Saturn will be anchoring and grounding your Aries stellium even more than usual. No bad thing with Uranus electrifying your tenth house for quite some time to come!
With the economy the way it is, it’s hardly surprising that we’re seeing an increased number of questions concerning job security.
To Lisa in Tallahassee, you were laid off in an astrologically tumultuous period. This was right after the Full Moon in Taurus/Scorpio, which marked a halfway point between eclipses in February 2008 and January 2009 and also fell close to your natal Moon in Scorpio.
This eclipse series is strongly affecting your sixth house, the area of the chart that rules your job (although not necessarily your career; that’s a tenth-house issue). Throughout this eclipse series, we’ve had Neptune and Chiron closely conjunct in Aquarius, just as you are going through your Chiron return, which happens to everyone around your age.
I see a great opportunity here for you to get a job that is more in line with who you are and the direction you wish to go in life. If you are in the healing professions, so much the better, but if not, you may find the experience to be very healing.
Currently, Jupiter is moving through your sixth house, and this typically is a good time to find a new or better job. You’ll have the benefit of this favorable transit well into next year, and at the same time, the eclipse series I mentioned above ends in early August 2008. That’s the latest date I see for you to find a new position, but we have every reason to be optimistic that it will happen before that.
Lisa in London, I don’t think Saturn-Uranus is “done” with you – not by a long shot – and I’m very excited for you!
When Saturn approaches the IC, we are “bottomed” out, so to speak, in our career. The good news is that once you hit bottom, there’s no place to go but up. You are entering a 14-year phase in which you will be climbing steadily toward the pinnacle of your career.
At the same time, for the next several years, you will have Uranus in your tenth house, the area of the chart that rules your career. Uranus is known for surprises and sudden change, so I think we can expect many more, and all toward the end of furthering your career.
What I see as most challenging for you right now is to be sure that you are on the path you wish to be on, because whatever you put your energy into, that’s what you’re going to get. Saturn will make sure you pay attention to the details and don’t overlook important factors in your drive to get ahead.
To both Lisas, I’d like to thank you for including all of your data, including your current location. We’re getting a lot of questions these days and, although we’re sorry to say so, we’ll have to start skipping those with missing data.
To everyone who is being rocked by hard economic times, we’re there with you, so hang in there!

What Is the CBT Journal?
The CBT Journal combines two of the most effective psychological tools we have, so you can take control, enhance your mindset, and improve your mental health.
It’s a digital download designed to be used as a four-week project to help you understand your mind. Alternatively, it can form part of an ongoing daily wellbeing routine.
The Journal is divided into two sections. First, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of the principles of CBT and learn how to apply them to your journaling practice. Structured journaling sheets bring your awareness to the thoughts, feelings and behaviours that shape your daily life. There’s also space for daily gratitude to provide balance and build emotional resilience.
Additional worksheets are provided to help you alter unhelpful thinking patterns, process emotions and change behaviours.
Why Should You Make Mental Health a Priority?
Your mind is one of your most precious assets. Within it, you experience every moment of life. Good mental health is closely linked to physical wellbeing and it’s also fundamental to feeling happy and content.
Our minds are busy, and our lives are demanding. Many of us struggle with stress and overwhelm. The brain is like a muscle. If you train the worried and anxious part every day, it becomes stronger and your ability to have a calm, settled mind becomes weaker.
But you can train your mind to behave in other ways– it just takes practice.
How Does Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Work?
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT is a form of psychotherapy that encourages you to become more aware of your individual patterns of thinking, feeling and doing. It also gives you the tools you need to change these patterns and improve your mental health.
When you start CBT, we begin by creating awareness of your mind. This awareness gives you more choice over how you think, feel and behave.
What’s Journaling Got to Do with It?
A regular journaling practise is a great way to process what happens to us each day and assess our patterns of thinking over time. It helps you become more aware of the thoughts you’re having, and it helps you engage with them from a curious standpoint rather than a place of overwhelm.
Just like talking, writing things down – getting them out of your head and down on paper – can be both freeing and healing. Venting in this way helps you make sense of things. Thoughts lose their power when we release them, so the intensity of difficult emotions is often reduced. Ultimately, writing helps us create clarity and become more objective about what’s going on inside our heads.
How Does It Do That?
Writing is a left-brain activity. This side of the brain likes thinking in words. It’s logical and analytical. Journaling fully engages the left-brain, freeing up the right-brain to deal with non-verbal cues, to intuit, and to tune into feelings. Both parts of the brain get to do what they’re best at, and they get to do it in tandem, allowing you to better understand what you’re thinking and feeling.
If you think something and don’t write it down, you’re only engaging the right-brain. The mere act of putting those thoughts down on paper means your left-brain is on-board too. The power of this whole-brain activity is that it taps into the subconscious mind, allowing you to see things differently and feel more confident about the steps you need to take to achieve the change you want in your life.
Is The CBT Journal for You?
Do you look at your life and see things that should make you happy, yet find yourself feeling sad and discontent? Is your mind always in overdrive? Do you feel out of control and anxious? Are you constantly trying to fix things but getting nowhere?
A few years ago, adding a regular journaling practice to my self-care routine helped me work through similar feelings. Because of this, I went on to create the CBT Journal. It’s designed to help anyone who’s keen to understand their mind more. Maybe you’re currently experiencing mental health problems or have struggled in the past. Perhaps you’re simply curious about your current patterns of thinking, feeling, and doing.
Buy The CBT Journal Now
Investing just 20 minutes a day will significantly impact your life, making you feel more content, fulfilled and happy, both in yourself and for everyone around you. You can find out more and purchase the CBT Journal here: The CBT Journal

Earth's solar system has four terrestrial planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. During the formation of the solar system, there were probably many more (planetesimals), but they have all merged with or been destroyed by the four remaining worlds in the solar nebula. Only one terrestrial planet, Earth, is known to have an active hydrosphere.
Extrasolar terrestrial planets
ever, a number of extrasolar planets are known or suspected to be terrestrial.
The first terrestrial planets ever detected outside our solar system were detected by Aleksander Wolszczan orbiting the pulsar PSR B1257+12. Their masses being 0.02, 4.3, and 3.9 Earth masses. The planets were observed because their transit caused interruptions in the pulsar's radio emissions. Had they not been orbiting around a pulsar, they would never have been found.
When 51 Pegasi b, the first extrasolar planet found around a fusing star, was discovered, many astronomers assumed it must be a gigantic terrestrial, as it was assumed no gas giant could exist as close to its star (0.052 AU) as 51 Pegasi b did. However, subsequent measurements of its diameter confirmed it was a gas giant.
In June 2005, the first planet around a fusing star that is almost certainly terrestrial was found orbiting around the red dwarf star Gliese 876, 15 light years away. That planet has a mass between six and nine times that of earth and an orbital period of just two Earth days.
On 10 August, 2005, the international team Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment spotted the signature
of a cold planet designated OGLE-2005-BLG-390Lb, about 5.5 times the mass of Earth, orbiting a star about 21,000 light years away in the constellation Scorpius. The planet revealed its existence through a technique known as gravitational microlensing, currently unique in its capability to detect cool planets with masses down to that of Earth.
In late 2005, the same team discovered the planet OGLE-2005-BLG-169Lb, which is 13 times the mass of Earth and orbiting a star approximately 9,000 light years away. This planet may be either a gas giant or terrestrial. The newly discovered planet orbits its parent star at a distance similar to that of our solar system's asteroid belt.
Theoretically, there are two types of terrestrial or rocky planets, one dominated by silicon compounds, as Earth is, and another dominated by carbon compounds, like carbonaceous chondrite asteroids. These are the silicate planets and carbon planets (or "diamond planets") respectively.
A number of telescopes capable of directly imaging extrasolar terrestrial planets are on the drawing board. These include the Terrestrial Planet Finder, Darwin (ESA), New Worlds Imager, and Overwhelmingly Large Telescope.
