Tour Story: Chelsea in Japan, day four
Our latest tour diary takes us onto matchday in Yokohama, with not one but two former Blues watching on...
Friday brought the first of two matchdays to this Japanese trip, and an extra buzz in the camp at the prospect of the evening's game being played in front of a sell-out 70,000 crowd.
Yokohama's International Stadium hosted the 2002 World Cup final, in which Ronaldo netted twice to help Brazil beat Germany and claim their fifth, and most recent, global crown. It was also the location for the 2012 Club World Cup, where we were beaten 1-0 by Corinthians in the final.
Much less was riding on this clash, but it was evident from the outset that Kawasaki, the Japanese champions were not here for a friendly. Their core supporters, the 'Ultras' behind the goal, were in fine voice from well before kick-off, many bouncing up and down while others waved Brazilian flags in honour of star striker Leandro Damiao, who would eventually head the only goal of the game five minutes from time.
The noise generated made for a lively atmosphere inside the sold-out stadium, which in turn gave things on the pitch just a little more edge than is usual for such a match. Lampard spoke afterwards of his satisfaction with the effort put in by his players, who were performing in hot and humid conditions.
The Blues had trained earlier on Friday, unusual for a matchday, but less so in pre-season. After the excitement of an open session on Thursday night, it was back behind closed doors, where during a light session for the players, Frank Lampard and his coaches worked on some defensive play before shooting practice.
One man continuing to enjoy the attention of fans was Ashley Cole, who was out surprising supporters at a meet and greet event with our partners Yokohama and the Europa League trophy.
At the stadium, a Chelsea fan zone provided another backdrop for supporters to come and show their love for our former left-back, who lifted every major club honour during his stay at Stamford Bridge. Thousands turned out to engage with the club, see Cole and the Europa League trophy, as well as pose for pictures with our mascots Stamford and Bridget.
Cole wasn't the only ex-Chelsea player at the stadium. It was a great delight for some of the group to run into Deco, who served as a Blue between 2008 and 2010. The former Portuguese international is in Japan fulfilling media duties and had time for a quick hello with Lampard after the final whistle.
Despite defeat, the squad remained in good spirits after the game, and spent time walking around the pitch thanking the crowd for their attendance.
From there, it was time to say sayonara to Yokohama and move onto the next location in north-west Tokyo, not far from Saitama where we face Barcelona on Tuesday.
With such a solid rivalry between these clubs in recent years, everybody will be excited to come up against the Spanish champions, not least the new head coach.

New girl, guy to watch out for
Contributed photo
Ace June Rell S. Perez
THE public's eyes are always on the lookout for something new.
Streaming platform upstream.ph is offering a new film with a relatively new lead cast in a coming-of-age and sensual movie called "A girl an A guy."
Directed by award-winning director Erik Matti, the new film will feature rising stars Alexa Miro and Rob Gomez.
From a child talent and commercial model, Alexa will now topbill a promising project that will potentially pave the way for her career in the future.
"I am more than grateful that my launching movie is an Erik Matti film. Not everyone gets that opportunity. I don't know what good I did in my previous life to deserve this. I am very much honored to be playing the role," she shared in a virtual conference last week.
She added that she has given her all to give justice to the character and the story. Alexa also admitted that being a celebrated actress is what she really aspires to ever since she's still a child.
Alexa had her big break as a 3-year-old Munting Miss You at the defunct noontime show "Magandang Tanghali Bayan." She continued her dream as a model of a popular hamburger commercial followed by a stint at the teleserye "Araw Gabi."
Joining Alexa is also a relatively newcomer in the industry. Rob, who will be the leading man of Alexa, shared when he got the role he committed to pour all his energy for whatever the project requires.
"I told myself that this is my shot so I went all-in for this. I am just so thankful that despite the pandemic my career is taking flight," he said.
Rob was part of the Walang Tulogan with the Master Showman of the late German Moreno as a co-host, singer, and dancer for two years. He also played a supporting role in one of the episodes of Pidol's Wonderland, a now-defunct comedy series of Dolphy in TV5.
"My goal is to be an award-winning actor. I wanted to make a name in the industry," the 23-year-old actor from the Estradal-Ejercito clan shared.
On playing Fiona, Raf
Alexa will be playing the role of Fiona, a millennial career girl with no clear direction about her life while Rob gives life to Raf, a misunderstood and introverted man.
The two stars said they somewhat saw themselves in the two characters.
"The characters are so relatable. I can even say that I'm 95 percent of Raf in real life. Raf is trying to figure out what he really wants in life that can make him truly happy," he said.
The film also requires both to bare some skin as demanded by the story.
"I never imagined I would do scenes like that but I fell in love with the story. I realized if I want to fulfill my dream to be recognized as an actress, I had to do the scenes, kahit minsan I had to take some wine to do the take!" Alexa said.
She also shared that a big part of pulling off the scenes was Rob who makes her feel comfortable and safe.
"Actually, we didn't go through sensual workshops for the movie. I guess Direk Eric wanted the interaction to be organic. I am thankful also that Rob and I had chemistry, magaan ang loob ko sa kanya, automatic ang connection. And we took care of protecting each other in our scenes," she said.
A Girl and A Guy is an upstream original which will be streaming starting June 24. It also features Pau Benitez, Candice Ramos, Rosh Barman, Sarah Holmes, Carlo Tarobal, Emilio Francisco, Chloe Reyes, Roeder Camanag, Donna Cariaga, Marina Benipayo and Shaun Salvador.

Adapting previously described methods, we followed four steps: generation of a test set of eligible studies, search strategy development, search strategy validation, and documentation.
Drawing from 12 systematic reviews, supplemented by additional studies identified by experts and colleagues, we identified a test set of 11 studies that met our eligibility criteria. We assigned five studies to a development set, which we used to develop and refine our search strategy. We assigned the remaining six studies to a validation set, against which we tested our final search strategy. The final search strategy identified all studies in both validation and development sets.
The validated search strategy derived in this study facilitates the conduct of systematic reviews and other literature searches investigating whether the effects of interventions differ by ethnicity or socio-economic status and may be further developed in future for other equity-focused searches and reviews.
It is generally accepted that efforts to improve health should be informed by the best available evidence, and that systematic reviews are an important tool for forming a reliable representation of all available evidence. Evidence-informed practice is just as important for health equity as for other fields, yet there are still relatively few equity-focused systematic reviews . A prerequisite for reviews of this kind, as well as for other research-related activities such as guideline development, is effective literature searching.
Searching for health equity literature can be challenging, and this may explain why systematic reviews with this focus are scant. In particular, search strategies using equity-related text filters to screen out unrelated studies run the risk of missing relevant literature. This is because studies in this field use a variety of terms to describe key concepts (e.g. inequities, inequalities, disparities) and equity terms are not indexed consistently . This issue is particularly salient for systematic reviews, which must use sensitive search strategies to ensure findings are not biased by missing studies.
One approach to reduce the risk of missing studies is to use an unrestricted search strategy that does not include equity filters. However, such a search strategy may have very low specificity, and return simply too many citations to review, making a systematic review not feasible. Another approach is to limit the scope of the search to a narrow subtopic. However, this could lead to a review that identified few or no eligible studies or may exclude other subtopics that are of interest. A third strategy is to carry out a review or overview of systematic reviews (also called umbrella reviews), drawing on equity-relevant papers that were included within previous non-equity specific reviews . However, these overviews may struggle to provide an effective synthesis if different systematic reviews have focused on different populations, outcomes, or quality appraisal methods . They may also fail to include papers published since the relevant systematic reviews were completed. Therefore, these strategies, while useful, may lead to problems with feasibility, scope, or timeliness.
An alternative approach is to use a validated equity-focused search filter that has a low risk of missing relevant studies. Such filters have been developed and validated for some population subgroups , but do not cover all important dimensions of health equity. In particular, we are aware of no validated filters for studies addressing socio-economic status or for ethnicity (with the exception of specific indigenous populations in Canada and Australia [6, 7]).
Therefore, in this study, we developed and validated a search filter for studies investigating whether the effects of interventions differ by ethnicity or socio-economic status. We developed and tested this filter in the field of transport, a social determinant of health with important effects on both health and equity, with the goal of producing a validated strategy that could subsequently be applied or adapted in other areas of health. Transport policies and interventions can affect physical activity and air pollution levels, as well as road traffic injury risk, and lead to substantial health impacts . Health effects arising from transport are seldom distributed equally between different social groups, and there is evidence that ethnicity and social deprivation can be associated with a higher burden of transport-related disease [9, 10].
We adapted the general approach described by Hausner et al. , first generating a test set of eligible studies, followed by development, validation, and documentation of the search strategy.
We generated a test set of eligible studies by reviewing the reference lists of systematic reviews of transport interventions. We also contacted experts and colleagues working in this field. Given the absence of comprehensive systematic reviews of transport and equity, we included systematic reviews that were not specific to health equity, and then appraised studies against a set of eligibility criteria (Table 1) in order to identify studies that investigated whether the effects of transport interventions differed by ethnicity or socio-economic status.
• To be eligible, studies must assess whether the impacts of transport interventions differ by ethnicity and socio-economic status (SES). Studies that report effect estimates stratified by SES or ethnicity are eligible, and studies that report whether or not there is an interaction effect between intervention and the ethnicity/SES variable are eligible.
• Income, education, employment, and housing tenure are eligible measures at individual level. Area deprivation is an eligible area level measure of SES and may be also used as a proxy for individual SES.
• Studies that only assess whether there is confounding by SES/ethnicity (rather than whether intervention effects differ by SES/ethnicity) are not eligible.
• Studies of transport interventions are eligible. This search focuses on interventions that change the amount (distance or duration) of travel by different modes.
• Eligible outcome measures include all quantitative measures of health and measures of the amount of travel by different modes (e.g. walking, cycling or car use).
• Quantitative studies are eligible, including both empirical and modelling studies. Under the 'empirical' category, randomised controlled trials, non-randomised controlled trials, controlled before-after (CBA) studies and interrupted time series (ITS) studies are eligible. CBA studies may use geographical exposure to the intervention (e.g. proximity to infrastructure) as a basis for assigning participants to intervention and control groups. ITS studies must include at least two data points before the intervention and one after. In addition, modelling studies that estimate the impact of transport interventions or of specified changes in travel on health outcomes are eligible.
• Studies that only describe the implementation of transport interventions, and do not assess changes in the amount of travel, are not eligible.
• Studies that assess change in outcomes through retrospective self-assessment by participants (e.g. 'do you cycle more now than before the intervention?'), and do not measure the outcome before and after the intervention, are not eligible.
• Purely qualitative studies are not eligible.
We developed a MEDLINE search strategy in two parts: a 'transport intervention' search strategy and an 'equity-focused' search for studies addressing ethnicity or socioeconomic status. Our transport intervention search strategy was adapted from a previous Cochrane systematic review of transport and health . Our equity-focused search strategy was adapted from a previous systematic review investigating socio-economic differences in the effectiveness of nutrition interventions . This draft search strategy was further refined using a trial-and-error approach in which search term combinations were tested in MEDLINE to see if they identified the journal articles in the 'development set'. We aimed to achieve 100% sensitivity while maximising specificity as far as possible. The final search strategy combined the transport intervention and equity-focused search strategies using the 'AND' operator.
We assessed the validity of the final search strategy by testing it against a validation set, following the approach used in Hausner et al. . We recorded which studies in the validation set were identified by the final search strategy and which were not.
We identified 10 systematic reviews of transport interventions through database searches and prior knowledge [12, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22]. Experts and colleagues working in the field identified two further systematic reviews [23, 24]. From the studies included in those systematic reviews, we identified 125 potentially eligible journal articles. Experts and colleagues suggested a further 33 journal articles, giving a total of 158 journal articles. We retrieved the full text for all 158 articles and assessed them against the systematic review eligibility criteria, resulting in 11 eligible studies.
This test set of 11 articles was randomly divided into a development set and a 'validation set' using random number generation in Microsoft Excel. Five studies were assigned to the development set [25, 26, 27, 28, 29] and six studies were assigned to the validation set [30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35].
Application of the draft search strategy to the development set identified several additional search terms that were added to the equity-focused search strategy to improve sensitivity. Other search terms were removed in order to increase specificity.
The transport intervention search strategy identified 113,133 citations, and the final equity-focused search strategy identified 618,121 citations. Combining the two search strategies using the 'AND' operator yielded 8170 citations (Table 2). This final combined search strategy identified all five studies (100%) in the development set. It was then tested against the validation set, in which it identified all six studies (100%).

In this paper, we report a validation exercise for a search strategy for studies investigating whether the effects of interventions differ by ethnicity or socio-economic status, using the field of transport and health as an example. Our search strategy, which included equity-focused text word limits for ethnicity and socio-economic status, successfully identified all studies in our development set (n = 5) and validation set (n = 6) of eligible studies, a sensitivity of 100%. The equity-focused filter also greatly improved specificity, reducing the number of citations returned from > 100,000 (for the unfiltered transport intervention search strategy) to < 10,000.
A limitation of this validation exercise is that there were only 11 eligible studies. It would be desirable to test the search strategy with a larger set of eligible studies and in other fields beyond transport. However, in the absence of other validated search strategy filters for socio-economic status and ethnicity (except for single ethnic groupings [6, 7]), this strategy facilitates the conduct of systematic reviews relating to ethnicity and socio-economic status, particularly in the transport field.
We are aware of no published systematic reviews related to transport interventions and health equity, though one 'umbrella review' of other systematic reviews found no primary studies of 20 mph zones and health inequalities . Our validation exercise suggests that there may be relatively few primary studies in this area; using previously published systematic reviews and expert advice, we identified only 11 eligible studies addressing ethnicity or socio-economic status. Our search strategy validation could provide a starting point for systematic reviews that could identify additional studies.
Our search strategy successfully identified all studies in our 'test set' of eligible studies, which included studies assessing whether intervention effects differed for different ethnic or socio-economic groups. We did not include studies that only addressed ethnicity/SES as a confounder of intervention effects, so our search strategy should not be used to search for such studies. Studies that adjust for ethnicity/SES as a confounder may be less likely to mention ethnicity or SES in the study abstract, making a sensitive search strategy difficult to design.
We conclude that it is likely to be very difficult to undertake a systematic review in this field without health equity text word limits, due to the very large number of ineligible citations identified (> 100,000 in our transport intervention search strategy). On the other hand, strategies that use unvalidated health equity text word limits run the risk of failing to identify all eligible studies, since equity-related terms are not indexed consistently. We developed and tested a sensitive search strategy that successfully identified all eligible studies in our test set (100% sensitivity), while greatly improving specificity. This validation exercise may provide a useful basis for future systematic reviews relating to ethnicity or socio-economic status, particularly in the transport field, and our search strategy may be further developed in future for other equity-focused searches and reviews.

Number planning areas in California (blue) and bordering states Area codes 408 and 669 are shown in red
Area codes 408 and 669 are telephone area codes in the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) for US states. of California This number planning area covers most of Santa Clara County and northern Santa Cruz County and includes Gilroy, Morgan Hill, Saratoga, Los Gatos, Monte Cerro, Milpitas, Sunnyvale, Santa Clara, Cupertino, Campbell, and San Jose.
Area code 408 was split from area code 415 in 1959 and area code 669 was assigned to the same numbered area in the 2012 plan.
Since 1950, the central and northern regions of California have been divided into two numerical planning areas (NPAs) with a south-north boundary, 415 for the coastal region and 916 for the eastern mountain region.
Area Code 408 One Piece
On March 1, 1959, the number plan was split from area 415 to area code 408 in flash-cut fashion (allowing no dial time).
On July 11, 1998, the 408 area code was split, creating the 831 area code for Santa Cruz, Monterey, and San Vito counties. Despite this division, the 408 area code is used in 40 northern Santa Cruz counties
On 20 November 2012, the new 669 area code number became available for allocation to new customers, requiring the use of a T-digit phone instead of a dial.
Los Gatos is one of three cities in Santa Clara County not served by the Bell system. Gilroy and Morgan Hill were also outside the service area of the regional Bell Operating Company (RBC). These villages were called "Bell System Circles" by the telephone company

According to historian Willis I. Peck, the Los Gatos Telephone Company was the first company to provide telephone service in the city.
Later, the Western California Telephone Company provided service to Los Gatos and Novato, Morgan Hill, and Kudu. The device was acquired by General Telephone and Electronics in the 1970s, which changed its name to GTE, and merged with Bell Atlantic in 2000 to become Verizon Communications. Verizon served these areas until April 1, 2016, when Frontier Communications took over the service.
Los Gatos is served by three central offices Historically, they were called the Six Offices, the Fourth Office, and the Mount Office The first two names come from the historical name of the exchange that evolved from a city directory to a dial-up service. The telephone numbers at these two offices were ELgato-6 and ELgato-4 numbers, respectively (pronounced ELx-xxxx.) When the area moved to seven-digit numbers, it changed to 356- and 354-numbers. In their former life, all city part numbers used by each office had a prefix or office code associated with that office.
As early as the 1980s, before modern digital recording became widely available, billing information for calls in Los Gatos was recorded on magnetic tape and the St. Ho cryalized process in Southern California. A charge sheet was filed against the client while the tapes were being processed.

The Mountain Office served the Summit Road community and the Santa Cruz Mountains west of the city Although the office code or service prefix from this switch was ELgato-3 (later 353), it was not called Office Three. In the 1970s and early 1970s, this field was served by automatic electric step-by-step (SXS) electromechanical switching equipment. The stairwell office was a headache; Living in rural areas made the problem even more difficult Users noticed the crosstalk, and dialing was at least audible during their calls. A variety of hard vironmetal materials were found outside the vegetation in the montane region, with the long loop lgth and high humidity of the redwood forest.
The site is currently used by Remote Utilities on Summit Road, connected to the central office on Los Gatos Boulevard.
In the early 1980s and before the advent of cellular and PCS telephone service, GTE provided Advanced Mobile Telephone Service (IMTS) in Los Gatos on VHF (152 MHz) and UHF (454 MHz). This service includes full duplex dialing service There were strict restrictions on call lgths because there were only a few channels In the late 1960s, daytime calls of more than three minutes were charged more than $1 per minute to discourage long calls. VHF equipment near the Rinconada Water Treatment Plant in the Santa Clara Valley Water District at NAD27 coordinates 37°15′22″N 121°58′59″W / 37.25611°N 121.7°W 121.983061; -121.98306 IMTS system includes General Electric Radio Voting Equipment. (Voting is a type of aggregator used in land-based radio stations.) At least one receiver of the IMTS channel was in a pole-mounted cabinet on a utility pole near Montevina Road off California State Route 17. IMTS systems were phased out after cellular systems became available to customers in the Bay Area
Prior to 1949, San Jose had manual telephone service The customer will promote the host and

Norfolk Collegiate would like to congratulate Faith Rush '16 who is a 2016 Gates Millennium Scholar. Faith now joins the ranks of outstanding minority students nationwide who will receive full coverage of tuition, room, board and expenses to the school of her choice.
The Gates Millennium Scholar Program is awarded to high-performing minority students who exemplify academic success with the opportunity to reach their full potential.
Established in 1996 and funded by a grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the program selects 1,000 students to become the future leaders of America by developing a stronger society of people. This distinct honor commends Faith's strong leadership skills, community service and academic achievements.
The process of applying to the scholarship is rigorous.
Upper School Dean of Students Nicole Weyer commends the Gate Millennium Scholar Program as "one who gets it right," in terms of a scholarship program that provides updates to the school of Faith's progress in pursuit of the award.
This year's application pool saw more than 53,000 applicants, making it one of the most competitive candidate groups in the program's history, according to the announcement letter sent to Faith.
One of the benefits of the scholarship program is that it allows students to pursue their graduate studies, including a master's and doctoral program in the fields of computer science, education, engineering, library science, mathematics, public health or science.
Faith will attend Winthrop University in South Carolina to study creative writing in the fall. She plans to pursue her doctoral degree with the help of this renewable scholarship and is hopeful for the future. | {

How to explain in five minutes or less what happens when the rich get tax cuts
A political cartoon and a parody of the second scene of Hogarth's Marriage a la Mode with politicians playing the main parts. A wealthy couple is having breakfast in a richly decorated room, the morning after a card party. (Wellcome Images/Wikimedia)
The corporate special interest group spin is that the rich will spend more if only we give them more in the form of tax cuts.
If people buy this story, then they think they're doing the right thing by giving rich people tax cuts. That is, it doesn't even matter if all of the benefits of the GOP tax bill are geared toward America's wealthiest, because the wealthy will use this money to "create" more jobs as they say.
This is why it's important to have a simple story about what really happens when the rich get tax cuts. Here's how to explain in a way that makes it easy for people to understand in five minutes.
How corporate special interests socialize costs: moral hazard
One of the ways corporate special interest propaganda works is by framing reality so there are only two choices: one good, one bad.
The most common frame used is capitalism vs. socialism. The right is framed as a bunch of wonderful superhuman capitalists out to make the world better through their endless pursuit of profit over everything else. Meanwhile, the "left" is described as a bunch of horrible Venezuelan socialists destined to bring ruin to all of America with their irresponsibility and laziness.
Sadly, all too often we fall for this framing trap and find ourselves in the weak position corporate special interests want us to be in: fighting for something that a majority of people in the United States see as morally wrong.
One way to break out of this trap is to fight a different battle, to reframe the world as democracy vs. oligarchy. I've written before about how to make a strong argument for democracy as key to a vital economy.
Another way to do this is to talk about what it is that corporate special interests and the wealthy in our country really want: To privatize the profits while socializing all the costs and risk.
Seven ways the wealthy raise taxes on the 99 percent after cutting them for themselves
One of the biggest lies told by conservative pundits is that one-half of Americans pay no taxes.
Conservatives like to throw around numbers, like the top 1 percent of wage earners will pay 45.7 percent of federal income taxes (from a 2014 report). This only tells a small part of the story.
For example, income tax accounts for less than one-half of federal taxes, and only one-fifth of taxes at all levels of government. Or that the top 1 percent receive 21 percent of total income.
What they also don't tell you is that the 80 percent of taxes that aren't income taxes tend to fall heavily on the the poor and middle class.
When you give massive tax cuts to the rich, as Donald Trump's new tax plan proposes, what this means is that revenues will fall at the federal level. The federal government then cuts money to state governments, who cut money to local governments, who cut services and shift the costs onto the 99 percent.
What this strategy does is privatize profits for the wealthy, create stock bubbles, and push costs down to everyone else at the state, local, and individual level.
Here's some of the regressive taxes that the 99 percent pay most of—and that are likely to increase if we write more tax loopholes for the rich.
The United States is becoming an extraction economy (like Puerto Rico)
While watching Trump troll us with Puerto Rico, one question kept popping up: why?
In some ways it's obvious why he's trolling us. He wants to distract us from what his team of billionaires is doing in Washington and control the news cycle.
But why troll us by going to Puerto Rico?
The answer is that he's there to show us that they are poor and we are not, and that we should be afraid of ending up like them. In other words, he's campaigning. He's telling the country that he knows what's best because he's a rich businessman.
This is a variation on the corporate special interest group propaganda we see so much of: Everything that is good is business, capitalism. Everything that is bad is socialism.
Sadly, it's working.
The reason it's working isn't because it's right, but because so many people believe and repeat these terrible ideas about what's made us a successful country.
Everyone I talk to knows something is wrong with our country. Yet many think the only people who know how to solve it are the "good" business people of our country. This is a big reason Trump won.
People don't know why and how Puerto Rico is the way it is and they think we need people like Trump. What we need is a better story about why Puerto Rico is poor, how it's run as an extraction economy, why this is bad, and why all the successful economies of the world tend to be democratic.
Seven global warming predictions that have come true
The strategy of oil industry lobbyists when it comes to climate change is to undermine trust in scientific predictions. We tend to call them "deniers," but this doesn't really describe the strategy accurately. The strategy is to create fear, uncertainty, and doubt.
They do this by:
Creating their own "research" at corporate think tanks
A false equivalence of research on both "sides" (best illustrated by John Oliver)
Hyping fears that this will hurt jobs
Turning it into a tribal Republican vs. Democrat issue
Labeling predictions as "alarmism"
And pointing out instances where predictions didn't come true
All of this succeeds in creating fear, uncertainty, and doubt. When talking to anyone who questions climate change, we should keep in mind that the issue we're dealing with isn't a scientific one. It's overcoming those aforementioned emotions.
Toward this end, let's talk about a great New York Times article titled "Should You Trust Climate Science? Maybe the Eclipse Is a Clue" that approaches the topic from the perspective of overcoming the fear, uncertainty, and doubt.
Universal health care would save $17 trillion
$32 trillion. You may have seen this number in corporate media coverage and Republican propaganda. It's the estimated cost of universal health care over a 10-year period.
It's a big number—a big, scary number. So hacks like the editorial board at The Washington Post use it to scare people with titles like "Single-payer health care would have an astonishingly high price tag."
Not just high—astonishingly high.
Of course what the editorial board of The Washington Post leaves out (though you think they'd know better) is any comparison to what we're currently spending.
Compared to what we're currently spending, universal health care or single-payer health care would save us $17 trillion over 10 years.
A reason to believe—and why this is important to the Democratic Party
I get that we can't run Bernie Sanders in Georgia's 6th Congressional District. I get that you have to start where people are rather than where you want them to be. I get that people don't vote based on policy; instead, they tend to vote for who they like. I get that corporate special interests dominate our media.
I can explain much of this to people who I talk to about the Democratic Party. I can explain how they are better than Republicans.
Nevertheless, I'm struggling—especially when I talk to my friends on the left, the people who are fighting the grassroots fight. Especially because the right is speaking to the left. The right is telling them that the reason the Democratic Party is losing is because it's not "left" enough.
I don't think this is true (and will explain why below), but it doesn't matter. If enough people believe it and drop out because of it, it's going to hurt Democrats. In the past election, one of the reasons Trump won was because of the attacks from both the right and the left. The right gave people a reason to believe. The attacks from the left gave people a reason to disbelieve.
Ralph Nader wrote an article recently in The Intercept arguing that Democrats need to get rid of the crusty old people in the party with bad ideas. Setting the irony aside, things do need to change. But getting rid of people like Nancy Pelosi (arguably the most powerful Democrat in Congress right now) seems right up there with some of Nader's other brilliant ideas—like how the left should work with libertarians. (Have you ever tried to work with someone who is so paranoid that they don't trust any attempts at working together, Ralph?)
Nader's idea that "policy precedes message" is wrong, and this leads him to a lot of not-so-great ideas. But he makes a valid point that things need to change. Here are a few thoughts on how.
How conservative propaganda works in America: The signal and the noise
We've heard a lot about Russian meddling recently. What we don't hear about is how more than 50 years of corporate special interest group propaganda fattened the U.S. up, priming our country for Russian influence on the 2016 election.
Let's think about conservative propaganda using a communications concept: signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).
Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is a measurement used in communications to compare the level of desired signal to the level of background noise.
In analog communications, such as AM/FM radio or analog television broadcasts, a high SNR ratio means that you will receive a signal with little static or interference.
To enable effective communication, you want to maximize your SNR ratio—more signal, less noise.
Seven questions for Michelle Dillingham, Cincinnati's neighborhood candidate for city council
Michelle Dillingham and Noreen Loftus-Spilman at the Women's March in Cincinnati.
We spend a lot of time talking about what we want our elected representatives to do for us. In order for our representatives to have a shot at doing anything, however, they first have to get elected. This doesn't just happen. It either takes a lot of money or it takes a lot of supporters or most often, some combination of both. It takes a community to get people elected.
In Cincinnati, no one better represents this idea to me than Michelle Dillingham, our neighborhood candidate for city council. Michelle graciously agreed to talk about her community and what it means to her.
Of all developed countries, America self-invests the least because of tax cuts for the 1 percent
As tax day (April 18) approaches, it's interesting to consider the lie that America is "overtaxed."
The average developed country reinvests 34 percent of its gross domestic product back into the country and its people.
As of 2014, America only invests 26 percent, which puts it ahead of Korea, Chile, Mexico, and exactly zero other developed countries.

The schedule shows the times of the periods during the day and the student's courses, with the teacher's name and room assigned.
The assignments list covers all of the student's courses, including those that may not meet on the current day. Click on the assignment or the course name to view details.
In districts that use Campus Food Service, the student's Lunch Balance displays at the top.
The Weekly Overview collects a selected student's assignments for the week in a simple, single page overview.
In this overview, view assignments for the week and see scores. Assignments display for the calendar day on which they are Due.
Flagged assignments, such as the Missing assignment above, are also shown. Scored assignments are shown with the points possible, if applicable, or the percentage or rubric score earned.
Navigate to other weeks using the Previous and Next buttons (< and > on a mobile device), or click Current to return to the current week.
The Assignments tool collects all of a student's assignments with the focus on today. Click assignments to view details and scroll to see previous and future assignments.
Use the Missing and Current Term buttons at the top to filter assignments.
The Grades tool shows all of the grades earned by the selected student for all tasks (such as Trimester or Semester grades) and standards. Posted grades are displayed in bold, with In-Progress grades indicated as "In-progress." The student's Cumulative GPA also displays at the top of the Grades tab if enabled.
Where the grey arrow displays for a task or standard, click the task to view the Categories that contribute to the grade. Expand categories to view all included assignments. Click assignments to view details.
Grades that are part of a composite or rollup grading setup are indicated.
Grade Book Updates lists all of the assignments that have been scored or otherwise updated in the last 14 days.
Click on the assignment or the course name to view details.
The Attendance tool lists the absences and tardies for attendance taking periods in the selected term. Navigate between terms using the options at the top.
Click on a period to view details. On the detail view, absences and tardies are divided by type (excused, unexcused, exempt, or unknown), with all absences and tardies listed below.
When attendance is recorded via present minutes, this attendance screen displays the total Present Time and Expected Time by section. Click on a section to view the Time In, Time Out, and Present Time recorded by date.
The display of attendance has been localized for Kentucky.
The Schedule tool shows the student's schedule for each term, including any day rotations. Schedules are shown for all the whole year, all terms, and all of the student's enrollments.
Each schedule includes the times of the periods during the day and the student's courses, with the teacher's name and room assigned. If a day rotation is in place, the day is indicated in the top right corner of the schedule. Click on the course name to view details.
The Reports tool collects files relevant to the student including learning documents such as IEPs and PLPs, a PDF version of the student's schedule, report cards and transcripts, and program participation.
Click on an entry to view the file in PDF.
Address Information for the student's household(s).
Demographics information for the student and any non-household relationships.
Family Information, including contact information for family members.
Lockers assigned to the student with locations and combinations.
Transportation information including buses and parking permits.
Important Dates such as holidays, late starts, and other school calendar events.
Below, the Quick Links section displays the websites for the districts and schools in which the student is enrolled, if available.
Users may be able to update address information, demographic data and family information (this requires the district to turn on certain preferences). When these preferences are turned on, parents and guardians may submit updates for their household information.
The Notifications dropdown list shows a simple list of notifications the student has received, such as graded assignments.
Click the user menu at the top right of screen to establish Notification Settings.
The Academic Plan displays the student's assigned Academic Program and the courses the student has planned to take in each school year. Students can add courses to their plan, and print their Course Plan and their Progress Report from here.
See the Academic Plan (Campus Student) article for more information.
It's recommended that the Academic Plan be viewed on a larger device, if possible.
Payments The Payments tool provides Portal users with the ability to pay fees/services or deposit food service money online using a major credit card, checking or savings account. This tool helps eliminate the need to send cash or checks with a student to school and provides parents a simple way to stay on top of school fees and services.
In various areas of Campus Student, clicking links opens details for items such as assignments and courses.
Click on an assignment to view details, such as dates, scoring information, and the description. Files attached by teachers also display on this screen, as applicable.
Parents are able to view submissions and Quick Assessments made by their students once the students have turned them in. However, viewing those submissions may be limited by parents' access to third-party programs enabled by the school, such as Google Drive or Naiku.

Prof. Sangam Shrestha edits special issue of Environmental Research
August 21st, 2020 Asian Institute of Technology News
Professor Sangam Shrestha of the Water Engineering and Management program in the AIT School of Engineering and Technology collaborated with Dr. Linda Anne Stevenson of the Asia-Pacific Network for Global Change Research (APN), Prof. Rajib Shaw (Keio University, Japan) and Prof. Juan Pulhin (UPLB, Philippines) as the Managing Guest Editor of a recent Special Issue of the journal Environmental Research.
The July 2020 Special Issue on "Climate Change Impacts, Vulnerability and Adaptation: Asian Perspective" is composed of fifteen original articles contributed by project leaders or members of projects supported by the Asia-Pacific Network for Global Change Research over the last 5 years.
The contributors to the issue were first invited to present their papers at the 'International Symposium on Climate Change Impacts, Vulnerability and Adaptation: Asian Perspective' organized by APN and the Asian Institute of Technology in Thailand on 16‒18 October 2019.
The articles consist of climate change projections, assessment of climate change impacts on health, water resources (including groundwater) and its security, assessment of the resiliency of micro business, community and government entities to climate change and human development, and a knowledge synthesis of APN climate change adaptation projects in Asia. The outputs of these articles are expected to support the formulation of adaptation policies to offset the negative impacts of climate change on natural and human systems, add value to the scientific literatures, and help shape local, regional and global agendas on climate change.
Asia is identified as one of the regions that will be hardest hit by climate variability and change that are projected to adversely affect many natural and human systems. The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) notes that Asia's large population, the frequency of natural disasters in the region, and unplanned urbanization, with population relocation to coastal cities, are some of the factors that make Asia especially vulnerable to climate risks.
Realizing these challenges, APN has been supporting various regional-based research and capacity building projects to enhance the interlinkages among science, policy and action for managing climate change risk in various sectors such as water, environment, and health, among others. To date, APN has supported more than 450 projects to various organizations in the Asia-Pacific region.

NDB set up by BRICS group of emerging economies is looking for raise money
K. V. Kamath, President of New Development Bank, poses for a picture before start of an interview with Reuters, in New Delhi, India, March 30, 2017. REUTERS/Adnan Abidi
Vastavam web: The New Development Bank (NDB) set up by the BRICS group of emerging economies is looking raise money by issuing dollar-denominated bonds later this year, the agency's president, K.V. Kamath, said on Thursday.Speaking to reporters at a briefing, Kamath said that he expected progress on securing an investment rating by an international rating agency this year, enabling the bank to tap global markets for dollar funding "towards the very end of the year."
The NDB will look at issuing bonds in one or two member countries in the second half of the year, Kamath said, adding that India's masala bond market looked attractive. Kamath has previously said that the NDB plans to raise up to $500 million via masala bonds, which are rupee-denominated bonds sold outside of India, in the second half of 2017.The NDB issued 3 billion yuan ($440.95 million) in green bonds in China's interbank market last year to support clean and renewable energy use.

Where is Peter Rabbit? Well, he's returning to the West End this summer…
Robert Hutchins 14th June 2019 Uncategorised 1,134 Views
Following a sell out run in April this year, Where is Peter Rabbit? is returning to the West End by popular demand, for a limited season from July 20 to September 1 at the Theatre Royal Haymarket.
Inspired by Beatrix Potter's classic tales, Where is Peter Rabbit was met with critical acclaim when it landed earlier this year. With an enhanced storyline, the new shows will feature the voice of TV presenter and musician Myleene Klass as the narrator, alongside the Olivier Award-winning actor and comedian Griff Rhys Jones.
Myleene Klass said: "I have always loved and admired the Beatrix Potter books. I grew up reading them and have introduced these classic tales to my children. Peter Rabbit is such a wonderful character – cheeky, mischievous, adventurous and inquisitive. I am thrilled to be lending my voice to this enchanting show for all the family."
Griff Rhys Jones, added: "The characters and the strange life of animals are so well observed by Beatrix Potter and not just in her beautiful illustrations. I don't think we cherish things quite as much as we do children's books, handed down like golden gems; and it's remarkable to think that these stories are still so loved.
"It is wonderful that these magical tales of countryside life will be returning to the Theatre Royal Haymarket this summer."
Where is Peter Rabbit? began life at the Old Laundry Theatre in Bowness-On-Windermere in June 2016. The stag show sees Potter's characters brought to the stage with hand crafted puppets that include Peter Rabbit, Jemima Puddle Duck and Mrs Tiggy Winkle, as well as Jeremy Fisher, Mr Tod and the nefarious Mr McGregor.
Devised by Roger Glossop, and directed and choreographed by Sheila Carter, the show combines live performance, projection and recording in an interactive new magical musical, based on the original Tales by Beatrix Potter.
Thomas Merrington, creative consultant on behalf of Frederick Warne & Co. Ltd at Penguin Ventures, said: "We are delighted to be bringing Peter Rabbit and friends back to the Theatre Royal Haymarket for the summer following an incredibly successful run this Easter.
"Families are in for a treat with some new narrations and a brand new song. Audiences will continue to fall in love with this beautiful production – it really brings the characters to life in the most charming way."

Pam Vincent: Hero of Hockey
At the 2016 Hockey Victoria Awards, Pam Vincent's decades of hard work and dedication to the sport of Hockey, and in particular the Women's form of the game were recognised, being awarded the Hero of Hockey Award.
Pam's contribution to hockey has been significant. As a Life Member and lifelong supporter of the game, Pam and her late husband Don Vincent were pioneers and strong supporters of the women's game, with the Women's Premier League Best & Fairest Award being named after Don.
Pam started playing hockey as a junior in Broken Hill before moving South to Melbourne as she grew up. Pam has played, coached, umpired and administered the sport of hockey for over seven decades. Pam has never missed an Awards night, AGM or Grand Final.
"She is truly a legend of our sport" said Andrew Skillern, CEO, Hockey Victoria.
Pam is also a Life Member of Vicsport, having served on the Board for a number of years overseeing the strategic direction of Vicsport.

What Color Is English?
Tuesday, May 16, 2017 | כ' אייר תשע"ז
Once again, I find myself at the ruins of the wall dividing language and politics. And all the king's horses and all the king's men …
Well, you know the rest.
Even William Safire couldn't put Humpty Dumpty back together again. But he did leave a guide to identifying the debris: Safire's Political Dictionary.
I know I haven't told you where we're going yet. It's not for the faint-hearted. So before we start plodding through the rubble, we'll need some protective gear.
Let's start with Safire's definition of "racism":
"Racism … was at first directed against Jews. In the nineteenth century, anti-Semites who foresaw a secular age in which religion might not be such a popular rallying force against Jews put forward the idea of Jewishness being less a religion than a race. Adolf Hitler, with his 'master race' ideology, turned theory into savage practice."
Judaism is a nationality and a religion. The two are intertwined. But the fact that there are converts to Judaism from all ethnic origins means that Jewishness is not delimited by race.
Safire quoted the speech to the United Nations General Assembly, by U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Daniel Patrick Moynihan, November 10, 1975, where Mr. Moynihan denounced the U.N. resolution equating Zionism with racism.
"Ambassador Moynihan, who had been an academic expert … on the subject of ethnicity and race, was quietly seething at the hypocrisy on display just one generation past the predations of the Nazi racial doctrines."
Mr. Moynihan declared, "Today we have drained the word racism of its meaning. … The United States of America declares that it does not acknowledge, it will not abide by, it will never acquiesce in this infamous act."
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, The Writing Center at the University of Washington Tacoma recently issued a statement declaring:
"The racist conditions of our society are not simply a matter of bias or prejudice that some people hold. … Racism is the normal condition of things. Racism is pervasive. It is in the systems, structures, rules, languages, expectations, and guidelines that make up our classes, school, and society. For example, linguistic and writing research has shown clearly for many decades that there is no inherent 'standard' of English. Language is constantly changing. These two facts make it very difficult to justify placing people in hierarchies or restricting opportunities and privileges because of the way people communicate in particular versions of English."
In other words, insisting on standard, correct spelling, grammar and usage is a racist act.
This echoes the vacuity of an educational system that says you mustn't correct students who say 2+2=5. That would hurt their self-esteem. And don't teach kids grammar or reading comprehension. Instead, make them feel good about being illiterate.
When Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky went to school, he says, "We didn't have self-esteem."
Years later, teaching a class, he told a student, "You're wrong."
"How could you do that?"
"What did I do?"
"You invalidated me."
"What are you … a parking meter? I'll put in another quarter."
John McWhorter teaches linguistics at Columbia University. Because he is black, a linguist — and an independent thinker — McWhorter has become a target of partisans from all sides.
In 1996, the Oakland, California school board recognized Ebonics as not just a dialect, but the "primary language of African American children." McWhorter questioned the move. For one thing, it ignored the inherent grammar of Black English. More important, as he wrote in Talking Back, Talking Black, he took the "un-PC position" because "the reason black kids have trouble in school is not Black English but the quality of the schools themselves, as well as the problems that life in disadvantaged communities can saddle students with." Then he added, "Yes, indeed: That was considered a disloyal position for a linguist to take."
McWhorter has denounced what he called the "flawed new religion of Antiracism." It demands "self-flagellating piety" and "ritual acknowledgment of White Privilege" rather than helping black people to succeed in the real world.
As Dr. Martin Luther King said, decrying "sincerely conscientious" segregationists: "There is nothing more dangerous in all the world than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity."
In a society where murder elicits a yawn — unless it's labeled a hate-crime — the last taboo is racism. But equating Standard English with racism is worse than stupid. It's an insidious disservice to the very people it professes to help.
Ask the man who knows.
"Go into any inner city neighborhood, and folks will tell you that government alone can't teach kids to learn. They know that parents have to parent, that children can't achieve unless we raise their expectations … and eradicate the slander that says a black youth with a book is acting white." — Then Senator Barack Obama, 2004 Democratic National Convention Keynote Address | {

Malva Pudding is a traditional South African dessert and is usually served warm with vanilla custard or ice cream.
Malva Pudding is very typical in South Africa and is almost always available on the dessert menus in South African restaurants. It´s a sweet pudding of Cape Dutch origin, usually served hot with custard and/or ice-cream. It is made with apricot jam and has a spongy caramelized texture.
The pudding's name is derived from Malvasia wine from Madeira. The dessert and dessert wine used to be served together after the main course at Cape tables. It is of distinct Cape Dutch origin with many unique additions which may differ from one area to the next, e.g., ginger or apricot jam. There are also many variants of this dessert, namely, the Cape Brandy Pudding which also includes brandy and dates and the Tipsy Tart which contains only brandy.
In December 2006, Oprah Winfrey's personal chef Art Smith traveled to South Africa to cook Christmas dinner for the pupils of the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls. The big hit of the night was his Malva Pudding. Smith stated that according to Colin Cowie, his hospitality ambassador in South Africa, it was named after a woman called Malva.
Malva Pudding is delicious during the cold winter months because it is usually served hot..
The typical way of serving it is with custard, vanilla ice cream or cream.. I prefer mine piping hot with some custard..for me it´s comfort food at its best.
What makes this pudding so delicious, is the warm sauce you pour over it straight after it has come out of the oven.. a mixture of melted butter, cream and sugar.. the sauce is soaked up in the warm spongue.
I've never heard of Malva pudding, but it sounds delicious! I'd love to try it sometime.
Bonita historia, un postre con muy buena pinta! Congratulations!! | {

First European is a leading fleet vehicle leasing company and national supplier of light commercial vehicles. We can provide van fleets of any size; comprising of matching vehicles or entirely different makes and models.
Fleet van leasing is an affordable and highly convenient way to run a number of brand new commercial vehicles. Not only is a much smaller cash outlay required when compared to purchasing, but vehicle management also becomes easier as the terms of each contract are agreed at the outset. This means that outgoing payments can be accurately calculated for every vehicle in the fleet, with a definite understanding of what will happen when the contract comes to an end.
Fleet vehicles can either be purchased from us at the end of the term, or simply handed back – ready for a new decision on your next van fleet. If you choose to hand the vehicles back, there's no second guessing the residual values of your vans or struggling to sell them privately in order to finance your next fleet.
We can be flexible in how we fund your new van fleet so you only pay for the things you need. First European fleets are easy to mange, affordable to run and they can be grown with your business.
Leasing gives you all the benefits of operating brand new vans, including longer service intervals, improved fuel economy and greater reliability. Keep your fleet efficient by choosing the best new vans on the market.
Our tailored finance packages are designed to evolve with your business. We understand that your fleet may grow (or shrink) over time so our flexible contracts are shaped to make managing its size as straightforward as possible.
Any available make and model of van can be sourced for your business to lease. When combined with the impartial advice and unique contracts we offer every customer, your perfect fleet is just a few clicks away. | {

Sons of Anarchy, "Gilead": Jail bait
Spoilers for tonight's "Sons of Anarchy" coming up just as soon as I let you know that I don't want to be set up...
"I ain't never seen us beat up this bad." -Bobby
That Bobby can say this only midway through the episode, before Agent Stahl turns up again, and before Clay and Jax have a protracted, ugly brawl the likes of which I haven't seen since Rowdy Roddy Piper and Keith David threw down in "They Live!"... Well, that tells you what kind of awful shape SAMCRO is in by the end of the hour, and what an intense, terrific hour of this increasingly great show "Gilead" was.
This week is going to be lighter on writing time than I would like, so I can't go into everything I liked about "Gilead," but I'll try to make do with the short version.
Kurt Sutter said on Twitter that the episode was an homage to "Oz," his favorite TV show of all time. But while it had that prison setting, and a few convenient shiv attacks and beat-downs out of sight of the guards, it felt very much like a prison-set episode of a Kurt Sutter show, where the protagonists are scrambling to solve an ever-increasing set of problems, most of them of their own making. So we had the SAMCRO guys in jail trying to watch each other's backs and arrange for protection from the Niners, Opie and Sheriff Trammell (who's more overtly in SAMCRO's pocket than the Charming cops are, including Unser) trying and failing to set up the tranny snitch, and Gemma trying to guilt Oswald into springing for the bail money.
And, as per usual on both "Sons of Anarchy" and "The Shield," things mostly worked out, in that the club guys get bailed out before one of them gets killed. But in the larger picture, matters are more screwed-up than ever: Juice is stabbed (which, as Bobby notes, is only going to add to the mountain of debt that Chibs' hospital stay will bring), Trammell is shot, Stahl is back in the picture, Oswald and Gemma are going to be hard on Clay to keep the club from forfeiting the bail money, and Bobby's plea for "a healing" between Clay and Jax instead leads to that savage brawl that solves exactly nothing.
In the end, Clay and his guys go back into the clubhouse (where they plot out all their illegal business), Jax goes into the Teller/Morrow tow office (the one legitimate aspect of SAMCRO), and Gemma and Tara are left standing in the middle. This club needs a healing, but instead it seems more deeply wounded than ever.
Hell of an episode. Hell of a season.
Labels: Sons of Anarchy
Great episode. So good I can't really even put into specifics why it was so good.
Jax is rapidly becoming one of my favorite TV characters ever. His conversation with Stahl was win.
Maybe because I have a tendency to overthink things, I'm struggling to figure out how they get past these charges in a way that isn't ridiculous. I really thought Jax would consider the deal, but perhaps it was too obvious and would've dealt with these charges too quickly.
Six episodes remain, so I suppose there's a lot of time to get that all figured out.
A question came up with my roommate that I've been wondering since last week. Are we assuming the Irish actually made the car bomb for the League, or am I making a jump about their budding relationship? The thought crossed my mind.
Good, although I cringed when I thought they were going into a spontaneous, mid-fight, let's make up hug during the brawl. Thankfully that didn't happen.
greentara said...
Stahl is a persistent $#!t-stirrer, isnt she? Really good at pushing Clay's buttons, though it didn't get her anything from him or Jax. Jax actually seemed to enjoy toying with her, and great reaction shot when he asked her about Cohn. Speechless! I hope we don't waste a lot of time with her, though. I want to see SAMCRO come together and figure out how to waste Zobelle. I don't think it's going to happen until the truth about Gemma comes out. It's possibly the only thing to get Jax and Clay on the same page.
Meanwhile, Opie is breaking my heart and being completely terrifying at the same time.
His conversation with Stahl was win.
In keeping with a couple of things Chris just said, it would have been so easy to have Jax side with Stahl to A)make the charges go away, and B)help him with the League, but Jax ain't having it with the woman who played such a central role in the drama that led to Donna's murder. (Hale did tell Jax about Stahl's role in that, right?)
Wow, Chris Littman, I cant believe I didn't think about the Irish being behind the car bomb before. Certainly looks suspicious in hindsight.
Also, whatever issues I had with Charlie Hunnam at the very start of the series are long, long gone now. I just loved that look on Jax's face when Bobby talked to him about healing the club; you can see Jax thinking, "Why the (bleep) do I have to be the one to make peace with that murdering, stubborn moron who got us put here in the first place?"
Juice was hilarious as bait. Loved that scene. I also enjoyed the return of Stahl. Her scene with Jax was fantastic.
Alan, I cherish your articles on Sons of Anarchy. I rush here right away after the show. Once again, this show brought a gut wrenching episode. I know Jax is everyone's favorite character, but my goodness. OPIE, and Gemma captivate the screen in my house. Opie with Tara, and Gemma with Tristan tore my heart out. The rest is building to be a jump out of the seat shocker. I wish every day was Tuesday.
Stephen said...
I agree with what everyone else has said but I wanted to add my thoughts about one scene.
Did anyone else enjoy Gemma & Tara staring down Layla when she came to pick-up Opie's kids as much as I did.
I just loved it. I've really been enjoying the dynamic between the 2 of them these past couple of episodes. I think it is more fun to watch then when they were at each other's throats.

Dave F said...
I loved the episode, but was surprised by Jax's conversation with Stahl in regards to one part. I completely agree that Jax hates Stahl for her role in what happened to Donna and it was cathartic for him to go after her. However, after mentioning how he thinks now and puts aside his rage, he insinuates that he killed a federal officer to another federal officer (no matter how awful the dead officer was) in order to intimidate her. Seems like the short-sided move.
If we know anything from the Shield, it's that Sutter isn't afraid to make likable people pay for their bad choices, while really bad people dodge the bullet over and over. Thus I continue to believe Opie's a dead man, though I think Sutter will torture Ope a lot more before killing him off. On that note, have we seen the last of that "Jap" drug dealer Ope ripped off tonight?
Continuity complaint: Tig shouldn't have gotten out of jail when bail was posted. He should be on his way to Oregon on that outstanding warrant.
"I'm struggling to figure out how they get past these charges in a way that isn't ridiculous."
"I really thought Jax would consider the deal, but perhaps it was too obvious and would've dealt with these charges too quickly."
Jax is smarter than that. (But see the caveat, below.) He remembers that Agent Stahl speaketh with forked tongue, and that doesn't work out very well for the people she's talking to. Aside from his personal hatred for her, he knows that no real salvation lies that way.
Great question about the Irish making the bomb, Chris. But I got the impression that the meeting between the Irish and Zobelle last week was a first, and that took place after the bomb blast.
I loved Stahl's reaction to the very subtle Cohn threat/revelation, too, Tara. But I'm not sure how smart Jax was to piss off Stahl like that.
Ron TheMacKool said...
What can I say that hasn't been said... Can you just love the concise camera work when Jax and Stahl go back and forth? I'm not one of those "what was the author's true intention when he said..." stuff, but damn... these writers are beyond fantastic and these actors are beyond... beyond... Well you know what I mean. when I was in school, I always wanted it to be Friday at 3pm. Now, I want it to be Tuesday at 10:00.0000001pm
Mark B said...
Men no longer fight each other to the death for entertainment, however, not so long ago, an actual fight to the death is a considerable audience draw. It is brilliant story telling to have Jax and Clay dive into person to person violence for control. Is it a credit to our civilization that prison personnel overwhelm to struggle before one contestant dies? One hundred thousand some years of human existence and men still fight and women still care about them and their children. The final shot with Gemma and Tara standing alone in the night perfectly counterbalances the episode. Sons of Anarchy is the best conceived, written, acted, lighted and photographed show on television. IMHO
Drifter said...
Stahl offering Jax a deal defines why Sons of Anarchy is so bold a show. The typical hero/protagonist school of thought would have Jax consider Stahl's offer to present him as a reasonable and scrupulous alternative to Clay's stubborn immorality. But in reality, no matter what the cops offer you a true outlaw isn't going to deal with the law no matter what. Hale is one thing because Jax has known him since they were kids and he isn't ratting out his associates to him. To a real dude like those in SAMCRO, you die before you snitch, period. I'm so happy we have a hero like Jax who doesn't sell out to the conventional mores of typical broadcast TV.
MAdouble said...
Can someone please tell me jax's last line while talking to Stahl? he said " dangerous being a ______ " anyone know what he says? i bought it on itunes and still cant make it out. he was referring to Cohn
Opie's tragic/self-destructive spiral has me so worried for him with each passing week. I think Kurt Sutter mentioned something in his interview about how SoA shouldn't really be compared to the Sopranos because, among other things, SoA only has 40-something minutes per episode? but man, do they know how to ratchet up the pressure, all while building story/characters, in that short time.
Never much cared for Ally Walker (she does this fast loud inhale thing before some of her lines that's very distracting to me), but definitely worth having Stahl back for those scenes with Jax and Clay.
Nothing to add to the observations already made - just really love this show. Stephen, I'm with you on the scene with Gemma, Tara and Ally - I so love the relationship that has developed between Gemma and Tara - did you see the look Gemma gave Tara when she offered to put up her father's house as collateral for bail? Katie Segal is perfection - if there is any justice, she will have an Emmy nomination next year.
Oops...obviously meant Layla, not Ally in the previous comment. This is what happens when you hit publish instead of preview early in the morning...
Marc said...
In-tense. Every scene, every single scene from the prison to the church there was an edge. You felt Gemma's urgency, and you couldn't help feel it throughout the show.
re: Jax's subtle threat to Stahl. At first I was wondering about that too. But notice they got released hours after bail was posted. More importantly, after Stahl spoke to Jax. Was she trying to set Jax up as a snitch the same way she set up Opie? Did Jax basically say that he wasn't the lamb that Opie was to her?
Bobby went with Clay and Jax went his separate way - exactly what Bobby said he'd do when they talked in the cell.
When Tara dissed Layla with her last line before Layla left (I don't remember the words), I remember Gemma give Tara a real look of admiration. I loved it.
Broken bit: When Clay came back to the cell (and got into a fight with Jax), cops were waiting to take Jax to see Stahl. Where were those cops when all the fighting took place? If they had to wait until a special squad came in, then fine - but I would have expected the squad to be armored with batons.
Finally, this show has made me way too used to the violence. When Tig popped Juice in the back and broke his rib, I laughed myself silly.
HMM2 said...
Can someone please tell me jax's last line while talking to Stahl? he said " dangerous being a ______ "
He said "Dangerous bein' a Fed."
Farm Girl Pink... said...
I agree with everyone's comments about how amazing the episode was, and how excellent the show is in general.
I don't know if it was intentional or not, but after the show ended and I started thinking about what I liked, I realized that the episode was basically an hour's worth of amazing one-on-one scenes - Opie/Tara, Opie/Lyla, Stahl/Clay, Stahl/Jax, Stahl/Hale, Bobby/Jax, Gemma/Tara, Gemma/Elliot, Gemma/Trista - a tour de force of acting that I wanted to last forever.
Here's a question I don't think anyone's asked yet: When Jax was setting Dionne up with Juice, why did he tell him that his name was Clay? Was he setting Clay up for any possible retaliation later on down the road?
I also did a forehead slap when Jax basically told Stahl that he killed Cohn. Oy!
The Jesus Chainsaw Massacre said...
what a great episode
the scenes with stahl show you just how stubborn and headstrong clay is and how "big picture" jax is....but still jax can be one mean, intimidating m-fer.
those 2 scenes of dialogue were sooo intense. i havent seen dialogue the intense and gripping since deadwood.
stahl was greatly cast, ive always hated that actress, and now she is a villain so i can justify, kinda.
only for this and its always sunny do i shut off my phone and make specific time for television
-jr
UnwantedTouching said...
I love that Agent Stahl has been brought back into the picture, esp since it feeds into my Ally Walker crush. I can't wait to see these loose threads get tied up, particularly the tranny who gutshot Trammell, and the "jap" drug dealer. If I recall from "The Shield" generally storylines were all tied up without many loose threads (unlike The Sopranos, which was content to leave storylines like the Russian from Pine Barrens unresolved)...so I fully expect a reckoning on all counts.
Last night's show left my heart racing and a bit shaken. I found it difficult to get to sleep afterwards and I woke up thinking about it. This show affects me.
I woke up thinking about Little Trista rape victim.
Little Trista rape victim showed Gemma she could also be happy again. Who did Little Trista rape victim Baptize really?
Little Trista rape victim got the big bad bikers out of prison.
Are these characters really beyond redemption? Can innocence Baptize men so "old and mean"?
In this show of such powerful and aggressive characters, there's Little Trista rape victim.
Stiff Shots Photography said...
Screw the haters, I plotz with happiness when Agent Stahl shows up. (And I have fond enough memories of PROFILER to pop huge whenever Ally Walker does her trademark tuck-the-strand-of-hair-behind-her-ear.) I kind of miss the ballsy, hilariously profane Stahl of those first Season One appearances, but the cold, calculating version on display here is still compelling. (Loved the shots of her watching the Clay/Jax brawl from a safe distance...)
Otto Man said...
On that note, have we seen the last of that "Jap" drug dealer Ope ripped off tonight?
I doubt it. The fact that he said he was Chinese and the ominous "we'll see" makes me think this might be a Tong mafia connection.
If so, Opie's end might be in the making.
When Lyla got mouthy with Tara, all I wanted was for Tara to pop her in the face and break her nose. Too bad there was not a skateboard near the door.
I was curious about the Irish taking the meeting with the League. Now the real question is what will Clay now do with that bit of info.
Loved that Stahl made it clear to Clay that Jax knew who killed Donna. And the look of fear on his face.
I was surprise by Jax making the comment about the dead FBI agent. Was that really the smart move to make at that moment.
And even more stunned that the Deputy got shot by the tranny. Having Opie being the one with the deputy when the shooting happen, can not look too good.
It was a nice touch to see Oswald's daughter and her influence to help out Gemma.
I've noticed that more often than not Jax is wearing clothing that is different from the rest of the club. He wears gym shoes rather than boots. He wears the long-sleeved flannel rather than the dark-colored t-shirt. His jeans are lighter than the other MC members'. Even in the prison when they all have the same clothes, Jax differentiates himself by not wearing the orange top.

Tom Farley said...
raises hand Right here, Stephen. I thought that was great. Especially this moment: Lyla is sent away, Tara says to Gemma "Is he out of his g--damn mind?" and storms away. Gemma has the slightest smile. Looks like pride to me. Kudos to Katey Sagal, but I could say that every week, couldn't I?
Alan, I thought Charlie H. was overshadowed by Sagal and Perlman early in Season 1, but I couldn't agree with you more about how great he is now.

Danny said...
Who did Little Trista rape victim Baptize really?
That was Abel, Jax's son.
Good question, HautieTx. But it certainly made for a fantastic ending, didn't it? ;-)
I wonder if it was an impulsive response to Stahl messing with him. She revealed that she knew his bail had already been posted when she was trying to get him to flip; that may have pissed him off enough to hint at the true cost of crossing SAMCRO.
I was happy to see Stahl/Ally Walker return. Stahl's an intriguing antagonist to the Sons in that she's not quite as good at playing this game as she thinks she is.
Probably doesn't matter that Jax mentioned Cohn. Dude's burned up and there's no evidence. Tara is the only other person who knows about it. But I guess nothing's safe on this show.
Debsa said...
Hell of an episode indeed.
SOA is a perfectly written drama, each and every week the tension is ratched up just a bit and I cannot wait for it all to erupt.
Kevin Michaels said...
Brilliant story telling.
Like the Shield, Oz, and The Wire, everything moves forward in so many ways that you need to sit back and take a moment to absorb it all. Great story and excellent sub-plots. Little things (like Jax telling the con his name was "Clay" to the interplay between both Opie and Trammel and Opie and Layla (yea - either Opie ascends to the throne to sit at the right hand of Clay, setting up a real power struggle with Jax, or he's toast somewhere down the road....), to the relationship between Gemma and Tara..... I also love the quiet introduction of Happy into the weekly mix. Some times it's not the words (since he has very few), but the way he carries himself - body language - and the attitude he into each of his scenes.
The only thing that would have made this one really kick was a cameo by Anthony Anderson in jail (would have been a nice flashback from the Shield...)
Nice to see someone else was annoyed by the Ally Walker breathing-thing-before-dialogue because I mentioned to the ladyfriend how it seemed like a rare mistake in what's usually a super-tight show.
Also, I didn't mind Jax giving Stahl the Cohen warning because Stahl played dirty last season and that one move lead to the killing of Donna and the club's current rift so I can see how the jailhouse talk was the last straw for Jax.
At the end of the show, all of them go into the club house while Jax goes off by himself to the garage. Does anyone else think that the club might be having a meeting (Church) about the fight. (A few episodes ago Clay told Jax if he heard anything else about him being responsible for Donna's death that he would kill Jax.) I'm sure Clay wants to see what everyone else thinks about the fight. It wouldn't surprise me if Clay tried to take a vote to kick Jax out of the club. (Not that it would pass or anything, but you never know. They are good at throwing curve balls)
For those who don't do Twitter,this is via Mo Ryan of the Chicago Tribune: No stuntmen used for the Jax/Clay brawl. Sutter says Charlie H. broke a tooth.
I just knew that your intro into this was going to be "Right after I go and get the condoms", but the one you used was fine. I really hope that New Sack is back next week and we get progress reports on the rest of the boys.
Hatfield said...
I'm late to the party, so I'll just echo the praise for the show in general and this episode especially. They kinda telegraphed that Trammel was gonna get shot, but I'm glad he didn't die.
Two quick things, though: What does the episode title refer to? And, as if I needed more proof that Alan has great taste, he referenced and linked the most amazing fight ever. Well done, Sepinwall.
Gilead means "hill of testimony" or "mound of witness," according to Wikipedia. There's a hymn entitled, "There Is a Balm in Gilead." Trista's choir was singing it when Gemma showed up at the church. The first verse goes,
There is balm in Gilead,
To make the wounded whole
There's power enough in heaven,
To cure a sin-sick soul.
There are lots of sin-sick souls in SOA, though I'm not sure which one(s) got healed last night. Was Gemma partly healed by seeing how Trista is recovering from her rape? Opie, by the realization that he's not the only parent who feels unworthy of his children? No healing between Clay and Jax, of course, though Bobby was hoping for that.
gordy said...
That was by far the most beautiful episode to date. It played the human angle with Opie's line about single moms, progressed the Clay/Jax feud and made it clear that the women are the glue. Everybody is human no matter what you make your money from.
Great episode. I didn't think I'd enjoy a SOA prison issue, but it was fantastic.
Opie has become very dark. More dialog this week which lets us a ittle into his character.
I hope all the loose ends are tied up when this series ends it's run. I hope that's a long time from now!
Chip said...
Alan, how are the ratings doing? I really need to know this show is far from over. I hope Kurt gets to realize his 7 year dream. Cuz damn is this great TV. Although I'm scared to watch 5 more seasons, things are so bad now that it's frightening to think of what else Sutter has up his sleeve.
Chip, the premiere had great ratings, and if you look at Alan's Twitter feed on the side of the blog he has a link to the ratings from this week.
for Marc who asked why the guards that were dropping off Clay didn't jump in to break up the fight:
I think those were guards with guns. They waited for guards who weren't carrying guns to send in to break up the fight / in a prison brawl, a guard with a gun on his belt doesn't get sent into the midst of a fight as they'll surely get stripped of it and then you've got more than a brawl on your hands.
Fantastic episode. I just love this show more and more.

@Chip-
Ratings are good. While in households it is not doing the greatest (45th on cable last week), it is crushing in the demos. 18-49 last week was a 2.1. That beat the forgotten and Jay Leno! Broadcast shows!
In other words, i think this show will stick around.
and that Adults 18-49 rating was 3rd overall for teh week, behind a couple of football games.
For any ratings info you need, check out http://www.tvbythenumbers.com
Didn't read all the comments, but I'll throw this out there in reference to Bobby complaining about the medical bills.
If you get sick or injured in prison the state picks up the tab. There are documented cases of prisoners being diagnosed with heart ailments and the state ends up paying for heart surgery.
That's how it works in NJ and I'm pretty sure its the same in CA, so I didn't really buy into that whole money problem thing as far as Juice is concerned. Seemed a little sloppy on the part of the writers.
But still a great episode. Lots of intense stuff going on.
Re: the medicals bills
It's not only Juice, there's also Chibs in the hospital.

Born thanks to Gabriele D'Annunzio, who loved to spend his days in the park of Versiliana the La Versiliana Festival is today a cultural event among the most respected and renowned.
There are theater performances of great classical, light works and new proposals, some of which then became great successes. Special attention is dedicated to the performances of classical and modern ballet, music, cabaret artists and comedians, who in recent years gained wide acclaim from audiences and critics. | {

Biohacking and the problem of bioterrorism
Natural bioterrorism might be the bigger threat, and the value of citizens educated in biosciences can't be overstated.
by Mike Loukides | @mikeloukides | +Mike Loukides | Comments: 1 | April 9, 2014
I won't downplay the possibility of a bioterror attack. It's already happened. The Anthrax-contaminated letters that were sent to political figures just after 9/11 were certainly an instance of bioterrorism. Fortunately (for everyone but the victims), they only resulted in five deaths, not thousands. Since then, there have been a few "copycat" crimes, though using a harmless white powder rather than Anthrax spores.
[My note: There were thousands of hoax mailings.]
While I see bioterror in the future as a certainty, I don't believe it will come from a hackerspace. The 2001 attacks are instructive: the spores were traced to a U.S. biodefense laboratory. Whether or not you believe Bruce Ivins, the lead suspect, was guilty, it's clear that the Anthrax spores were developed by professionals and could not have been developed outside of a professional setting. That's what I expect for future attacks: the biological materials, whether spores, viruses, or bacteria, will come from a research laboratory, produced with government funding. Whether they're stolen from a U.S. lab or produced overseas: take your pick. They won't come from the hackerspace down the street.
[My Comment: I wonder if Mike knows how many BL3s there are just in the United States. Is a space not a hackerspace just because it is a BIolevel Safety 3. I go to a (non-bio) "hackerspace" sometimes daily that has many times the $3500 in equipment that the FBI estimated in 2002 was needed for the Fall 2001 anthrax mailings. So what is the roadblock if not cost? It seems that RHE is correct that the explosion in BL3s has made the world less safe, not more safe. Or as MH-J has said, to paraphrase, the increase in the number of researchers was crazy.
Indeed, there are "a few" every week, whether reported or not. It is the ultimate, stupid crime.
There are hoax incidents each week.

NEW CASTLE (April 9, 2014) – Police arrested a New Castle man who mailed envelopes filled with white powder to three Henry County law enforcement officers.
George Kinser, 51, New Castle, claimed the letters were filled with anthrax. Tests showed the substance was actually talcum powder. Police arrested Kinser on two counts of terroristic mischief, a class C felony.
The investigation began on April 2 when the wife of a Henry County sheriff's deputy opened a letter from the family's post office box. A white powder fell out of the envelope, and the woman—who works in Marion County—called Indianapolis Metropolitan police.
Two New Castle police officers also received suspicious letters at their homes, according to court documents. The letters were addressed to their wives, police said. One of the officers said the handwriting matched that of a similar letter he'd received in August 2013. In the earlier case, Kinser admitted sending the letter and said he wouldn't do it again after being questioned by police.
The three new letters were nearly identical, police said, postmarked for April 1 and sealed with clear scotch tape. Each letter had the same handwriting with the same blue marker. Police compared the handwriting to the previous letter Kinser had sent as well as court documents.
Police obtained a search warrant for Kinser's apartment. Inside they found "rubber gloves, papers and small notebooks with the names of officers, names of family members which included some addresses." They also found "markers and pens which were consistent with those used in the recent letters" sent to the officers.

Creating a secure network: the 2001 anthrax attacks and the transformation of postal security
• Ryan Ellis
The 2001 anthrax attacks transformed the US postal network into a site of uncertainty and danger. Five individuals died as a result of anthrax exposure, while 22 individuals were infected; estimates place the cost of the attacks, including sanitation and lost revenue, at $6 billion. The attacks highlighted the limitations and particularities of pre-existing biological-defence efforts and led to the adoption of new practices of postal security. In this article I examine the failure of pre-attack planning and critically analyse the creation and implementation of new security standards within the postal network in the wake of the 2001 attacks. Through archival research conducted at the Smithsonian Institution and documents obtained under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), the article traces the politics inscribed within the architecture of new security technologies. The creation of new forms of security was a contentious and fraught process that brought together a cross-section of interest groups, including postal labour, large-volume mailers, and postal management. Ultimately, however, these new forms of security serve to reinforce, rather than disrupt, pre-existing structures of power. New security practices serve the interests of large-volume commercial mailers – long-entrenched and central players in postal politics – at the expense of postal workers and the general public. The article emphasizes the possibilities and limitations of disasters to create moments of disruption and undergird new political interventions.
Apart from the sociological aspects of the article which appears to have had its roots in this paper presented at a 2011 meeting, did the documents obtained under FOIA discuss technical aspects of the Fall 2001 anthrax powder? The documents obtained by Ryan Ellis likely differ from the 2000 pages provided to me by CDC.
Paper presented at the annual meeting of the 4S Annual Meeting – Abstract and Session Submissions, Crowne Plaza Cleveland City Center Hotel, Cleveland, OH, Nov 02, 2011
http://citation.allacademic.com/meta/p_mla_apa_research_citation/5/1/8/1/2/p518120_index.html?phpsessid=ph0olsbskjndji2ar5fcdmnkd4
The 2001 anthrax attacks transformed the US postal network into site of uncertainty and danger. Five individuals died as a result of anthrax exposure, while 17 individuals were infected. The initial costs of the attacks, in terms of sanitation and lost revenue, were estimated at $2.5 billion. In this paper, I review the creation and implementation of new biohazard security technologies within the postal network. The paper examines the deployment of the Biohazard Detection System (BDS) and Intelligent Mail suite of services and considers the ways in which a cross-section of interest groups, including postal labor, large-volume mailers, postal management, and defense contractors, attempt to define new security practices. The paper traces the politics inscribed within the architecture of new control technologies through archival research conducted at the Smithsonian Institution and documents obtained under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). The paper concludes that the BDS created a bifurcated mailstream that shifted the costs and burdens of security to general mail users, while exempting large-volume, commercial, mailers. Additionally, Intelligent Mail's surveillance technologies are designed to not only provide law enforcement with mailing data, but undergird the shift away from career employees in favor of the adoption of temporary labor. Theoretically, the paper draws from the work of Ulrich Beck and notions of "securitization" to consider the way novel risks support new political interventions.
Ryan Ellis' discussion in his 2011 thesis is the most learned discussion of the effects on postal service facilities that I've seen to date.
The subject is somewhat peripheral to the whodunnit which Dr. Ellis does not address. As as an alternative of the lengthy and learned discussion, I would note that page 307 has a nice graphic of the contamination in postal facilities.
I will pull the March 2014 article to see whether it discusses materials provided under FOIA or differs in other respects.
I am especially interested in FOIA from the postal services.
Networks, deregulation, and risk : the politics of critical infrastructure protection

The authors in section on Test procedure state:
"Two independent laboratories performed sample preparation and aerosolization studies using separate chambers and personnel. Three independent aerosol loading experiments were performed by each laboratory. Samples for aerosolization were prepared by adding 0.08 g of lyophilized BAΔS, 0.02 g hydrophobic fumed silica (Aerosil® R812S, Evonik Industries), and 15 sterile 3-mm borosilicate glass beads to a 15-mL round-bottom polypropylene tube and securing the cap with Parafilm® to create an airtight seal. The tube was vortexed for 2 min on high, with pauses at 30-second intervals to tap the bottom of the tube against a hard surface. The Parafilm was then removed under aseptic conditions and the glass beads were discarded. The milled spore–silica mixture was resealed and stored at 4 °C until aerosolization."
Anonymous, what are the implications of this peer-reviewed Journal of Applied Microbiology article for the FBI's "Ivins Theory"? All this science stuff is someone else's ken. I normally consult with Dr. Popov on this sort of issue.

''operational data'' for a real or simulated terrorist attack on an urban area are difficult to obtain. The experimental evaluations of currently fielded systems are not publicly available for security reasons, and much of the relevant open literature is from studies that are outdated or were performed in nonurban settings.
Development of an Aerosol System for Uniformly Depositing Bacillus Anthracis Spore Particles on Surfaces

The 2001 contamination by dry aerosolized Bacillus anthracis spores in several environments, including the Hart Senate Office Building in Washington, D.C. and post office mail sorting facilities, was measured using a variety of surface sampling and measurement techniques (Weis et al. 2002; Dull et al. 2004;Sanderson et al. 2004). These spores deposited on various surfaces and eventually had to be cleaned up. The cleanup involved surface testing to determine the presence or absence of culturable spores. Several sampling techniques were applied, involving the use of wet wipes, wet swabs, and vacuuming with special collection sock filters, combined with analysis by spore culturing. The variability of results and lack of validation of these techniques for Bacillus anthracis raised concern regarding the sensitivity and accuracy of these sampling and analytical techniques (Teshale et al. 2002; Rose et al. 2004; Sanderson et al. 2004; Beecher 2006).
Three ways of analyzing the agar plates were used to evaluate the effect of spore coatings on viability and to differentiate between number of spore-containing particles and the number of spores. The presence of spore agglomerates re-suspended by various sample handling activities in the chamber further increased the variability of deposited particles.
In the anthrax attack of 2001, some of the material was believed to be in a "fluidized" form (defined here as having fumed silica added). In order to simulate the aerosol-deposited nature of the anthrax biowarfare agent on surfaces, a two part study was initiated. The present work was part of a larger study to investigate surface sampling techniques and analytical techniques. The focus of the work presented here was to develop a system to prepare multiple samples in a chamber, which allowed predictable concentrations of aerosolized spores (closely simulating the type of spores used in the actual attack) to settle on at least two types of surfaces and at concentrations that tested the limits of detection of the sampling and analytical methods.
Ten percent (by weight) of an amorphous silica-based flow enhancer was added to the dried spores. The dried material was milled using an exclusionary ball mill. In this process the material passed through a series of stages separated by increasingly finer mesh screens. In each stage 0.01 m diameter steel balls forced the product through the screen separators. A pneumatic vibrator actuated the entire mill.
BG was obtained from a commercially manufactured stockpile of dry spores (produced under contract in 1963 by Westco Chemical, Shafter, CO) that had been used in numerous tests and experiments. The manufacturing process paralleled that of the procedure described for BaS above. Twenty percent by weight of amorphous silica was added to enhance the flow characteristics of the BG preparation.

A picture of a particle presumed to be a single BG spore coated with fumed silica is indicated in Figure 7a. Many particles similar to this were observed, while no single spores without the silica coating were observed. However, agglomerated spores with only a light coating of silica were readily observed as indicated in Figure 7b.
Aerosol Particle Size and Concentration Decay
The aerosol generated from the BG and BaS powders had a mode at about 0.9 and 1.3 μm, respectively (Figure 3), indicating that most of the particles initially generated were likely to include single spores. The maxima of these modes decreased slightly at later times in the settling process as predicted by Equation (2) (larger particles settle more quickly). The remaining aerosol consisted of particles containing no spores (only debris or non-culturable spores), particles containing single spores and particles containing multiple spores. It was assumed that the generated organic material had a density close to 1 g cm−3. However, the spores were mixed and coated with a flow enhancement agent, fumed amorphous silica with a higher density. The BG spores, stored for more than 40 years, appeared to be more culturable by spreading than by settling (by a factor of about 20); the BaS spores were more culturable by spreading than settling by a factor of about 1.3.Figure 7a shows a particle potentially containing a single BG spore; since no uncoated single spores were observed, this suggests that virtually all single spores remained coated with silica. The coating apparently solidified from exposure to water in the air over the years of sample storage and use. However, multiple spores or clumps were found frequently and these were often largely uncoated as indicated in Figure 7b. The reason for the difference in coating adherence to different sized particles is unclear. The BaS spore particles were not analyzed by SEM because of potential safety issues.
After the 2001 anthrax incidents and the report by GAO that additional methological validation of sampling collection and analytical methods should be conducted, studies such as the one featured by Lew above and this study were done. (The one below was done by Dugway, CDC, and EPA authors). In each study, the method involved the addition of ten percent (by weight) of an amorphous silica-based flow enhancer to the dried spores.

After the 2001 anthrax incidents, surface sampling techniques for biological agents were found to be inadequately validated, especially at low surface loadings.
The Government Accountability Office (GAO) reported that additional methodological validation of sampling collection and analytical methods should be conducted to enhance the interpretation of negative sampling results because initial samples from two postal facilities were negative, but later samples were positive (17). The GAO (17) report defined validation as "… a formal and independently administered empirical process. For validation, the overall performance characteristics of a given method must be certified as meeting the specified requirements for intended use and as conforming with applicable standards." Currently, there is no preexisting standard for a presumable safe level of surface contamination with B. anthracis spores that may be assessed through sampling and analysis.
The culture was incubated at 30°C in a 10-liter fermentation vessel with an agitation rate of 250 rpm and an aeration rate greater than 0.5 volume min−1. Sporulation was generally complete within 24 h. Spores were collected by simple centrifugation to remove spent media. The pelleted material was dried by a proprietary azeotropic method. Ten percent (by weight) of an amorphous silica-based flow enhancer was added to the dried spores. The dried material was milled using an exclusionary ball mill. In this process, the material passed through a series of stages separated by increasingly finer mesh screens. In each stage, 0.01-m-diameter steel balls forced the product through the screen separators. A pneumatic vibrator actuated the entire mill. The resulting spores were approximately 1.0 μm.
Dr. Majidi of the FBI has explained that the silica could have been in the medium to grow the spores. It is notable that the DARPA-funded suitemates of Ali Al-Timimi in Spring 2001 had co-invented a method to concentrate anthrax using silica in the growth medium.

In the present study, researchers at US Army Dugway Proving Ground constructed a particle settling chamber (1·22 m × 1·22 m × 2·44 m, consisting largely of static dissipative Plexiglas® in an aluminum framework) in which a powder preparation of B. anthracis strain Sterne (BaS) mixed with fumed silica was aerosolized.
Ten per cent (by weight) of an amorphous silica-based flow enhancer was added .. The dried material was milled using an exclusionary ball mill. In this process, the material passed through a series of stages separated by increasingly finer mesh screens. In each stage, 0·01-m diameter steel balls forced the product through the screen separators. A pneumatic vibrator actuated the entire mill.
The authors would like to thank those who assisted with this project: Donald Booher, Nancy Burton and Millie Schafer of National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH); Frank Schaefer and Alan Lindquist of EPA; Laura Rose, Judith Noble-Wang and Matthew Arduino of CDC; and John Wright of the Dugway Proving Ground.
As I best recall, it was our own "Anonymous" who with the assistance of DC counsel forced the production under FOIA that the the mailed anthrax was 10% silica by weight. But I'll leave it to Anonymous or GAO or the qualified scientists to address the scientific issues.
Two scientists walk into a bar. "I'll have an H2O," says the first. "I'll have an H2O, too," says the second. The second man dies.
He hadn't readn't the science.

There are no real implications here. Every military scientist knows perfectly well that the attack of 2001 used spores that were worked up for aerosolization – and this paper is just yet another example of that. It's not as if they are trying to pretend that the spores were downgraded to garbage – as the FBI have to do in order to keep the "Ivins did it alone" fairytale narrative. | {

To feed those in need, house those experiencing homelessness and empower individuals to achieve independence.
Right from the start, in the early 1950s, House of Charity has been about transforming lives...one person at a time. Our founder, Brother de Paul, responded to the need he saw around him by providing food and shelter to the poor in Minneapolis. Since its beginnings on Nicollet Island, House of Charity has been located at several sites in downtown Minneapolis, and moved to its current location at 510 South 8th Street in 1976. Once a hotel, the building now houses 116 men and women who have experienced homelessness.
House of Charity accepts donations. Donate Now.

UNSMIL continues to receive reports of armed groups carrying out extra-judicial killings in Tripoli, a phenomenon that has been on the rise over the past few weeks. The Mission affirms that allegations of offences and personal disputes should be judged in a court of law, not by gunmen on the streets.
UNSMIL calls on the Libyan authorities to adopt with immediate effect the necessary measures to protect all persons from targeted killings, send a strong message that these acts are completely unacceptable and back these messages with objective investigations to identify and hold perpetrators of such crimes accountable.
Extrajudicial executions are not only acts of extreme cruelty, violating the laws of this country; they also violate International Human Rights and Humanitarian Laws. Those responsible for committing or ordering extrajudicial killings are criminally liable under international law. | {

Panasonic X1000 Review
The Panasonic HC-X1000 is what?
The first 4K camcorder from Panasonic to hit the prosumer market. The HX-1000 is reasonably priced at £2,559, more than £1,000 cheaper than the Sony AX1, and has built-in ND filters, a 20x optical zoom and a variety of extremely remarkable 4K frame rates and codecs.
A 4K 8-MP 1/2.3-inch BSI is used.
Does Panasonic have anything else to provide a more conventional end of the market with 50p and 60p at UHD (3,840 x 2,160)? This camcorder was produced before the 5D Mk II made the depth of field the standard.
Details and Features of the Panasonic HC-X1000
Who is this for should be your first concern. Without a doubt, 60 frames per second in UHD is a headline-grabbing fact that would make many videographers salivate. This camera is undoubtedly adaptable with MP4, AVCHD, and MOV codecs, but it also has some obvious restrictions that you need to be aware of before deciding whether to purchase it.
The HC-X1000 struggles to achieve more than nine stops of dynamic range, undoubtedly because of the fairly tiny sensor, and even though the MP4 codec can handle data rates of up to 200Mbps, there is little to no space for picture editing in post-production.
This demonstrates to us that Panasonic was correct when they told us the HC-X1000 was never meant to be used by independent filmmakers. The HC-X1000 seems to work best in professional settings, such as when photographing events and weddings. Therefore, the true question is whether you should upgrade to 4K for this type of work and whether this camera is the right one.
It definitely has all the characteristics necessary for the job. The HC-X1000 has all the typical buttons and switches you would anticipate from this conventional camera shape as it is an ENG-type camera.
In order to facilitate quick changeover in rapidly varying settings, white balance features an A and B preset that are respectively adjusted to 3200k and 5600k for tungsten and daylight. Additionally accessible are auto and custom modes.
The lens is by far the most notable component. The focusing is likewise functional; at no time did it rack to an undesired location or damage an image, but with minimal depth of field perhaps this is acceptable. The 20x optical zoom is more than sufficient for any ordinary videography scenario.
The 5-Axis hybrid picture stabilization technology, which combines optical and software stabilization, produces excellent results. With surprisingly little vibration, we were able to utilize the telephoto end of the lens handed.
For photographers who frequently use a tripod but are not purists, image stabilization will be a necessary feature.
Two 64GB SD cards are included with the camera, saving you between £150–£200 in buying costs. With two SD card ports and the continuous recording mode, which enables one card to be continuously recording while the other shoots what you instruct it to with the REC button, Panasonic is anxious to promote the idea of never missing a photo.
Another choice is to take successive shots, which allows you to catch activity without ever having to put the camera down. This isn't a revolutionary function, but it's useful on a camera at the lower end of the market and will work for people covering sports and events.
Great features like histograms, zebras, focus peaking and focus expansion make this camera very practical for everyday use. The buttons and menu system make everything accessible and adhere to a standard that has been established in conventional digital video cameras for years. Again, nothing revolutionary, but crucial if you want to be able to believe what you are seeing every day.
In 4K continuous filming, the battery life is a very acceptable six hours. This is crucial when filming a full day of interviews since it lowers the likelihood that the battery will need to be changed in the middle of an interview or that you will lose a shot due to a simple issue with the battery. It's encouraging to see that one extra battery would be plenty for a day of heavy photography. The 64GB SD cards that are included can store 5 hours and 20 minutes of continuous 4K recording at 200Mbps, which translates to more than 10 hours of recording time if you shoot back-to-back.
The built-in stereo microphone is adequate and has adequate detail, suitable for use as a room microphone, safety recording, or scratch track.
The design, controls, and usability of the Panasonic HC-X1000
The camera doesn't appear to have a fully manual exposure mode; even when all physical controls were set to manual, the camera still made exposure adjustments automatically. This is a key characteristic that will turn off the "pro" end of the market. If you're serious about making videos, this either means you need a camera with absolutely no flaws or a menu system that's extremely convoluted and hides a crucial function.
Additionally, the camera includes an internal "beep" that plays with each button push in the menu system and is very inappropriate for a wedding or conference event. Once more, such a glaring defect must be correctable inside the menu system, but despite checking every submenu accessible and listening to nonstop beeping, we were unable to locate the setting to turn it off. Although it's difficult to think it isn't there someplace, if it is, finding it would be pointlessly difficult.
The Panasonic weighs only 1.5kg and feels tiny, streamlined, and elegant in your hands. It is more portable as a result than the Sony AX1, but the build quality suffers as a result. The plastics are quite flimsy, and the buttons lack a comforting sense of high quality.
The plastic door on the audio controls, which feels fragile and would easily grab when thrown into a bag, is the worst example of the so-so build quality. Of course, we anticipate worse construction quality at the less expensive end of the market, but saving £1,000 at the time of purchase can prove to be a mistake if the plastic doors break off, exposing parts.
The touchscreen LCD is useful and has appropriate brightness for photographing outside. The touch screen isn't as snappy as it might be and reflections still cause issues on really sunny days, but it's adequate.
Personally, I don't think adding a touchscreen to a video camera is desirable because wearing gloves while working as usual. However, with a camera this big, using conventional controls can be challenging. This camera differs from a consumer-grade camcorder thanks to its excellent viewfinder, which is a wonderful feature.
Qualità dell'immagine
As we have seen thus far, the X1000 has some clear advantages and disadvantages, but the image quality tends to work slightly against it. While 4K photos are incredibly detailed as you would expect, there is too much noise as a result. Generally speaking, the image is too muddy and noisy to be taken seriously; everything that wasn't captured in broad daylight has a lifeless appearance that is contrary to what we would anticipate from a 4K camera.
People who think of 4K photographs want them to be crisp, and it appears that Panasonic made the same mistakes with the GH4 as it did with this camera. Oversharpening has the propensity to introduce excessive noise into the image, which lowers clarity in low light.
Our informal testing resulted in a very "video" nine stops for the dynamic range. When it comes to pushing the blacks in post-production, they are exceedingly murky and lack information. The same is true with highlights; they fade away quickly and are of a low quality which is typical of cameras of lower quality.
Depending on the type of work you perform, the image quality might be this camera's biggest drawback overall. Although it is adequate for basic filming, this camera is well behind prosumer demands at a time when a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera with 12 stops of dynamic range and 12-bit color depth can be obtained for £650.
There are issues when using your 4K video for post-production. The option of 4K makes sense for post-production since it allows you to trim photos without losing any pixels, which might be helpful if you get stuck in the edit. However, a good editing system will be just as expensive as the camera itself.
It will be quite challenging to manage the 4K files in an existing system. When compared to editing 1080p video, we saw that everything was more than twice as sluggish, from intake through edit to after-effects linking and export. You'll probably wind up filming in 1080p more often than 4K unless you're willing to spend money on new editing tools, which somewhat negates the purpose of the HC-X1000.
Is the Panasonic HC-X1000 a good investment?
While the desire to make 4K video capturing more affordable is commendable, it's difficult to suggest the Panasonic HC-X1000 at this time. Although Panasonic markets this camera as a prosumer camcorder, it is difficult to understand why paying more for the option to shoot in 4K at 60 frames per second is worthwhile given the camera's very subpar image quality.
There is no denying that this camcorder has a ton of features. Although it checks several desirable boxes for videographers—the lens, battery life, and dual SD card slots—it isn't the camera we'd recommend if you're considering making the move to 4K.

Die Oberliga Baden-Württemberg 1990/91 war die 13. Saison der Oberliga Baden-Württemberg als dritthöchste Spielklasse im deutschen Männerfußball. Sie wurde am 10. August 1990 mit der Partie des VfL Kirchheim/Teck gegen die SpVgg Ludwigsburg eröffnet und endete am 12. Mai 1991 mit dem 34. Spieltag.
Im Frühjahr 1990 war der Vizemeister der Vorsaison, der SSV Reutlingen 05, in der Aufstiegsrunde zur 2. Bundesliga gescheitert. Die Mannschaft hatte daran teilgenommen, nachdem der Meister, die Karlsruher SC Amateure, aufgrund der Zugehörigkeit der ersten Mannschaft zur Bundesliga nicht aufstiegsberechtigt gewesen war.
Der 1. FC Pforzheim holte seinerseits im Frühjahr 1991 mit vier Zählern Vorsprung auf die SpVgg Ludwigsburg seinen ersten Meistertitel in der Oberliga Baden-Württemberg und qualifizierte sich so für die letztendlich erfolglose Aufstiegsrunde. Aufsteiger VfB Eppingen gewann hingegen nur eine Partie und somit sieben weniger als der VfL Kirchheim/Teck.

Afghans won't be distracted by Shahzad row, insists Naib
Gulbadin Naib of Afghanistan look ons during the Group Stage match of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 between Afghanistan and Australia at Bristol County Ground on June 01, 2019 in Bristol, England.

Afghanistan captain Gulbadin Naib insists his side won't let the row over Mohammad Shahzad's controversial World Cup exit overshadow the rest of the tournament.
Shahzad played in Afghanistan's first two World Cup matches, but the wicketkeeper-batsman was removed from the squad after suffering a knee injury that the country's cricket board said would not allow him to play any further part in the tournament.
The 31-year-old, who scored just seven runs in losses to Australia and Sri Lanka, claimed medical advice he had received said he would have been fit to play in a few days after having his knee drained.
"If they don't want me to play, I will quit cricket," an emotional Shahzad was reported to have told local media after returning to Kabul.
Shahzad, Afghanistan's highest run-scorer in one-day internationals with 2,727 runs, was not selected for the 2015 World Cup due to a lack of fitness.
Asked about the row ahead of Saturday's clash with South Africa, Naib made it clear he didn't want to dwell on the situation.
"We looked forward, so we didn't go to the past. We had one week off. We got plenty of good things in this last week," Naib told reporters on Friday.
"Obviously we missed Shahzad. We have good youngsters on the team now on the side, so we're excited for the next game."
With Afghanistan still looking for their first win in this year's World Cup, Naib said star leg spinner Rashid Khan should be fit to play against South Africa.
Rashid suffered a head injury and failed a concussion test, leaving him unable to bowl after he was struck by a bouncer from New Zealand's Lockie Ferguson.
"He's quite good now. He joined yesterday's practise session as well. Now he's feeling much better now," Naib said.
"It's not that serious. Obviously when you are hit hard on the head you have something like a problem, like the head is sore. But now he's feeling well." | {

Brian Dunn from Great Divide Brewing Company will participate in the annual Big Beers, Belgians & Barleywines Festival, now in Breckenridge, for his 17th year in January.
After 16 years, the annual Big Beers, Belgians & Barleywines Festival underwent several changes, most notably moving from its long-time home at the Vail Cascade Resort & Spa to Beaver Run Resort & Conference Center in Breckenridge.
The festival is a week away, Thursday through Saturday, Jan. 7, and although the event restructured this year, it will continue its focus on education and continues to offer the chance to meet brewmasters and brewery owners, participate in seminars and pairing dinners and, of course, taste hundreds of beers.
Showcasing beers from more than 110 breweries and importers, the event gives industry professionals a place to convene and talk shop. Several brewers, including Adam Avery from Avery Brewing Co., Eric Wallace from Left Hand Brewing and Brian Dunn from Great Divide Brewing Co., come back year after year to participate. We caught up with Dunn before the festival to see what it is about Big Beers that keeps him coming back.
VAIL DAILY: How would you sum up the experience of Big Beers in one or two sentences?
BRIAN DUNN: Tables are staffed by brewery owners, brewers or key representatives of breweries, and the beers are outstanding. It's a great place to drink a wide variety of great beer and talk to the folks who brew them.
VD: What is your favorite aspect of Big Beers?
DUNN: I like that it attracts great breweries and key staff of those breweries. It's such a great event that brewery folks travel from all over to be there and breweries bring lots of hard-to-find and one-off beers.
VD: What keeps you coming back year after year?
DUNN: I don't want to break my streak of having been to every event since it started. Actually, it's probably the camaraderie with other breweries and great beer that keeps me coming back. I also really like that you can ski until early afternoon and then go to the event.
VD: How do you feel about the event's move to Breckenridge?
DUNN: Sometimes change is good, and I'm really excited to see the new venue.
VD: What advice would you give to first-time event-goers?
DUNN: Have some food before you go, stay hydrated and be a little judicious in how many beers you try. | {

The iPod is designed to be listened to by one person, or maybe shared with a headphone splitter among two. For anything more than that, connection to a stereo or computer speakers is a requirement. Unfortunately, that results in a few bulky pieces of hardware, lots of cables, and still having to plug the iPod in (if you don't want to deplete the battery). Altec Lansing's inMotion speakers are intended to solve this problem.
Made of white plastic, intended to compliment the iPod, the inMotion speakers are designed to be a way to share your iPod music with others, while running off of batteries or the included AC adapter.
With a relatively simple, yet clever design (the speakers fold to the size of a paperback book for travel), the inMotions are perfect for any road warrior or student where space is a premium. Complete with four 1″ neodymium magnet Micro Drivers, a dock connector (it works to charge and synchronize the iPod, as well), and a Class D low power consumption digital amplifier, the speakers are a complete, albeit small, sound system that acts an extension of the iPod itself.
Included in the box is the inMotion speakers, an AC adapter, a black carrying bag, a few plastic spacers, a short audio cable, a short documentation, and all of the necessary paperwork. Setting up the speakers is easy – unfold them, plug the AC adapter in (or pop 4 AA batteries in the bottom for 24 hours of play) and place an iPod in the dock connector.
Controls are on either side of the dock connector. Two buttons with a + and – symbols adjust the volume (the iPod's volume is not used, since the inMotions get their sound through the line out signal on the dock connector) are on the left side, and a power switch is on the right. Four ports are located on the rear: AC power, headphones, auxiliary in, and a connection for the Apple dock cable.
The intent of the auxiliary input is for older iPods without a dock connector (a small cable is included to connect those), laptops, other MP3 players, or anything else that can be connected to regular speakers. A dust cover for the dock connector is included for travel, or to allow a smooth place for an older non-dockable iPod to sit. A spacer is also included for owners of thinner iPods.
The inMotions are incompatible with many iPod cases, just as a regular dock is. Owners of iSkin cases will find it annoying that pulling the case back (as suggested for use with a dock) will not work with the inMotions. We prefer to use cases that allow easy removal of the iPod, such as Contour's Showcase, or XtremeMac's Deluxe Leather Case.
As the price is around $150, the inMotion speakers are a product designed for certain users, namely those who want a small, simple sound system for their iPod. The speakers are restricted to being on either side of the iPod, so the stereo separation is not the best.
However, the speakers sound surprisingly good for their size. Although no competition for many of the midrange 2.1 computer speakers, the inMotions do have very good bass output. The only adjustments for bass and treble are the iPod's equalizer settings. I've listened to all kinds of music, included rock, electronic, jazz, rap, and classical on these speakers and have been quite satisfied. Others who have listened to this system have also been surprised at the decent quality sound that is produced.
However, when you compare the inMotions to speakers like JBL's Creature 2.1 or Altec Lansing's own VS4121, the inMotions seem expensive, with only above average sound quality. What you do get for the money is battery operability, an iPod docking solution, and portability. Just as laptops cost a little more, and are usually a bit slower, the inMotions do have their tradeoffs.
One cool use we found with the inMotions was to make the iPod into a true clock radio. By leaving the speakers on, the sleep timer can be used to fall asleep to music, and the alarm clock function can be used to wake up to music. This works much better than smaller speakers like the iTalk. And, the iPod's battery is charged, ready to start the day.
The inMotions are a good speaker system for someone who wants a simple, elegant, portable, good sounding setup for their iPod. Users who want mind-blowing sound, or want something cheap, will be more inclined to look into a desktop-bound 2.1 system.
The Altec Lansing inMotion speakers are an excellent extension to the iPod for the right niche of consumers. | {

The Orion Publishing Group JULIAN FELLOWES S BELGRAVIA Buch Taschenbuch Englisch 352 Seiten
Julian Fellowes's Belgravia is the story of a secret. A secret that unravels behind the porticoed doors of London's grandest postcode. Set in the 1840s when the upper echelons of society began to rub shoulders with the emerging industrial nouveau riche, Belgravia is peopled by a rich cast of characters. But the story begins on the eve of the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. At the Duchess of Richmond's now legendary ball, one family's life will change for ever...Facebook: JulianFellowesBelgravia, Twitter: @JFBelgravia, Pinterest: /Belgravia, Instagram: @julianfellowesbelgravia
How to Create the Next Facebook
In just under a decade, Facebook has gone from a Harvard prodigy's dorm-room experiment to an essential part of the social life of hundreds of millions of children, teens, and adults across the globe. It's no surprise, then, that the company has been the subject of countless magazine articles, books, and even movies. But despite the extensive coverage that has been given to the company in the years since founder Mark Zuckerberg first took Facebook live on Harvard's server, one question remains unanswered: From a business standpoint, how, exactly, did Facebook do it?How did a college student with no real-world business experience take a relatively simple idea and then, less than ten years later, turn it into a $100 billion dollar company? What specific steps did Facebook take along its journey to creating perhaps the most innovative startup of the 21st century? What approach did it take when pitching venture capitalists, and how did it go about forging its many strategic partnerships? And, most importantly, how can would-be founders learn and effectively utilize Facebook's unique techniques and strategies in their own startup efforts? In How to Create the Next Facebook, tech guru Tom Taulli answers all of these questions and more, crystallizing the process by which Facebook was shepherded from idea to IPO to provide a guided blueprint for budding entrepreneurs who are ready to start building their own great business.Regardless of what stage of development your startup is in, How to Create the Next Facebook provides you with clear, compelling, and ultimately actionable advice extracted from Facebook's startup success story. You'll learn how Facebook handled the very same situations your startup is confronting-from how it arrived at its mission statement to what its priorities were during its talent search process-before gaining access to all the concrete, practical guidance you need to make the right decisions for your company and continue moving forward with confidence. And, of course, because Facebook didn't get everything right at first, author Tom Taulli painstakingly details the company's most costly mistakes, documenting everything from its protracted legal struggles to its many failed attempts at establishing multiple revenue streams, so that you can arm your company against the various challenges that threaten to sink even the very best startups.By the time you turn the final pages of How to Create the Next Facebook , you'll realize that Facebook is more than just a fun place to catch up with old friends, it is the ideal model to follow for those who, like you, are ready to build the world's next great startup.
Jemma Dallender (Community, I Spit on Your Grave 2) stars in Edward Boase's sophomore feature The Mirror, a headline-grabbing British horror triggered by a widely reported news story that set Twitter and Facebook alight in 2013 when an allegedly haunted mirror appeared for sale on eBay. In the film, the three intrepid flatmates (Dallender, Joshua Dickinson, Nate Fallows) who purchased the supposedly haunted antique set up round-the-clock cameras in the hope of capturing evidence of paranormal activity. From footage recovered by police, their terrifying ordeal is slowly pieced together.
Psychology of You 2.0
As kids, we were exposed to sexist, racist and violent cartoons and video games. We have been bombarded with images of thin females and hypermuscular males. Then we grew up and started to use Internet and then social media. For some of us, Internet has been a way to escape from loneliness, for some others it has bred loneliness. Then comes Facebook. It has been good for some of us and bad for some others. This is a place where the distinction between public space and private space has blurred. Our self-disclosure patterns have been modified. We share things that we are not supposed to share offline. Dad shot daughter s laptop because of a letter on Facebook. Some of us built their self-esteem on how many friends we have made on Facebook. Social media is everywhere. Nowhere else to go. Social media penetrates all aspects of our lives. This book is about this penetration. It can be read as a book for general public or as a textbook together with the educational materials provided in Appendices. It is unique in endorsing a psychological approach to social media. It tells the story of many of us. De te fabula narratur!
Bitcoin Billionaires
Ben Mezrich's 2009 bestseller The Accidental Billionaires is the definitive account of Facebook's founding - and the basis for the Academy Award-winning film The Social Network. Two of the story's iconic characters are Harvard students Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss: identical twins, Olympic rowers, and legal foils to MarkZuckerberg. Bitcoin Billionaires is the story of the brothers' redemption and revenge in the wake of their epic legal battle with Facebook - and the first great book from the world of bitcoin.Planning to start careers as venture capitalists, the brothers quickly discover that no one will take their money for fear of alienating Zuckerberg. While nursing their wounds in Ibiza, they accidentally run into a shady character who tells them about a brand new idea: cryptocurrency. Immersing themselves in what is then an obscure and sometimes sinister world, they begin to realize "crypto" is, in their own words, "either the next big thing or total bulls--t." There's nothing left to do but make a bet.From the Silk Road to the halls of the Securities and Exchange Commission to the Facebook boardroom, Bitcoin Billionaires will take us on a wild and surprising ride while illuminating a tantalizing economic future. On November 26th, 2017, the Winklevoss brothers became the first bitcoin billionaires. Here's the story of how they got there - as only Ben Mezrich could tell it. | {

Probably something that is the most overlooked, but is just as valuable as a good website, is the server in which it is hosted. This seems like a mundane admin task, so you are probably asking yourself why is it so important? Well, you should have read our article on raising the customer experience on your site. In case you missed it, you can find it here. A server is taking that beautiful website you had created and delivering it to your customers. A bad server = a bad experience. Here are some things to keep in mind when shopping for a website host.
Cheaper is not always better, especially when it comes to web hosts. Obviously, we are not recommending you spend your entire marketing budget on a host, but you need think for the bigger picture. Take into consideration possible down time, and how much that will cost you in the long run.
The last thing you want is your web server to crash on Black Friday in the middle of your busy peak and you can't get a hold of your server team. You will sometimes need to rely on the help of your host, and you want to make sure they are accessible. Dealing with hosts in different countries can pose a limitation, especially if you need them NOW. It's a simple fix, ask for their customer service hours and whether they offer an emergency line of communication. It's better to find out now they are only available between 9-5 during weekdays, then when you need them.
This is a big one. The last thing you want is to choose a host with a poor reputation. Many companies boast they can handle your website, but too many times we have seen hosts drop the ball and leave the business owner stranded. You need to keep in mind how long the company has been in business, what are their reviews like, and what is their downtime like? These tips will give you an idea on what their customers are saying about them and their reliability.
This is not an all-inclusive list, but it will give you some starting points. We do offer a variety of web hosting options, that will fit all size businesses. Contact us and let's sit down and discuss what your needs are for your business. | {

A pair of shoes by Vincent van Gogh, Paris, 1886. Martin Heidegger mentions this particular work in The Origin of the Work of Art as an example of a painting that reveals (aletheia) a whole world.
"In the middle of the 20th century [...] philosophers started to move away from the long tradition of modernism [...], turned a blind eye to the implications of biology and [...] are showing unending and increasing interest in the obfuscations of Heidegger."--Philosophical Darwinism (1993) by Peter Munz
"Death is the possibility of the absolute impossibility of Dasein" --Being and Time
"Making itself intelligible is suicide for philosophy"
The relations between Heidegger and Nazism are a controversial subject in philosophy. Some claim that his philosophy is pure from historical and political contingencies. Others, such as Jürgen Habermas or Theodor Adorno, strongly disagree, claiming that his historical engagement for the Nazi party derived from his philosophical conceptions.
"In the 1981 film My Dinner with Andre, Heidegger's theory that "experiencing one's being to the fullest is like experiencing the decay of that being towards one's death, as a part of your experience" is quoted by the actor Wallace Shawn, who plays himself." --Sholem Stein
"The role of etymology in Heidegger's thinking is curiously under-studied. In the English-language Heidegger literature, there are currently no book-length studies devoted to it, and discussion of it is surprisingly absent from books on Heidegger's thinking on language. Frank Schalow's "Language and the Etymological Turn of Thought" is apparently the only article to appear as yet that takes up the philosophical significance of Heidegger's etymologies, though it does not address the etymological method as such. What I want to do in this essay, then, is look at what Heidegger is doing when he does etymology, so that we might see how and why we might do it, too."--Heidegger's Etymological Method: Discovering Being by Recovering the Richness of the Word By King, Matthew[1]
Martin Heidegger (September 26, 1889 – May 26, 1976) was a highly influential German philosopher. He was a seminal thinker in the Continental tradition, particularly within the fields of existential phenomenology and philosophical hermeneutics. From his beginnings as a Catholic academic, he developed a groundbreaking and widely influential philosophy.
His best known book, Being and Time (1927), is considered one of the most important philosophical works of the 20th century. In it and later works, Heidegger maintained that one's way of questioning defines one's nature. He argued that Western thinking had lost sight of being, and that by people finding themselves as "always already" moving within ontological presuppositions, they lose touch with their grasp of being and its truth thus becomes "muddled". As a solution to this condition, Heidegger advocated a change in focus from ontologies based on ontic determinants to the fundamental ontological elucidation of being-in-the-world in general, allowing it to reveal, or "unconceal" itself as concealment. He wrote extensively on Friedrich Nietzsche and Friedrich Hölderlin in his later career.
Heidegger is a controversial figure, largely for his affiliation with Nazism, for which he neither apologized nor publicly expressed regret, although in private he called it "the biggest stupidity of his life" (die größte Dummheit seines Lebens).

Being, time, and Dasein
Heidegger's philosophy is founded on the attempt to conjoin what he considers two fundamental insights: the first is his observation that, in the course of over 2,000 years of history, philosophy has attended to all the beings that can be found in the world (including the world itself), but has forgotten to ask what Being itself is. Heidegger thought the presence of things for us is not their being, but merely them interpreted as equipment according to a particular system of meaning and purpose. For instance, when a hammer is efficiently used to knock in nails, we cease to be aware of it. This is termed "ready to hand", and Heidegger considers it an authentic mode, saying that the given ("past") has presence in an oversimplified way when reduced to possible future usefulness to us.
Heidegger claimed philosophy and science since ancient Greece had reduced things to their presence, which was a superficial way of understanding them. One crucial source of this insight was Heidegger's reading of Franz Brentano's treatise on Aristotle's manifold uses of the word "being", a work which provoked Heidegger to ask what kind of unity underlies this multiplicity of uses. Heidegger opens his magnum opus, Being and Time, with a citation from Plato's Sophist indicating that Western philosophy has neglected Being because it was considered obvious, rather than as worthy of question. Heidegger's intuition about the question of Being is thus a historical argument, which in his later work becomes his concern with the "history of Being", that is, the history of the forgetting of Being, which according to Heidegger requires that philosophy retrace its footsteps through a productive destruction of the history of philosophy.
The second intuition animating Heidegger's philosophy derives from the influence of Edmund Husserl, a philosopher largely uninterested in questions of philosophical history. Rather, Husserl argued that all that philosophy could and should be is a description of experience (hence the phenomenological slogan, "to the things themselves"). But for Heidegger, this meant understanding that experience is always already situated in a world and in ways of being. Thus Husserl's understanding that all consciousness is "intentional" (in the sense that it is always intended toward something, and is always "about" something) is transformed in Heidegger's philosophy, becoming the thought that all experience is grounded in "care". This is the basis of Heidegger's "existential analytic", as he develops it in Being and Time. Heidegger argues that describing experience properly entails finding the being for whom such a description might matter. Heidegger thus conducts his description of experience with reference to "Dasein", the being for whom Being is a question.
In Being and Time, Heidegger criticized the abstract and metaphysical character of traditional ways of grasping human existence as rational animal, person, man, soul, spirit, or subject. Dasein, then, is not intended as a way of conducting a philosophical anthropology, but is rather understood by Heidegger to be the condition of possibility for anything like a philosophical anthropology. Dasein, according to Heidegger, is care. In the course of his existential analytic, Heidegger argues that Dasein, who finds itself thrown into the world (Geworfenheit) amidst things and with others, is thrown into its possibilities, including the possibility and inevitability of one's own mortality. The need for Dasein to assume these possibilities, that is, the need to be responsible for one's own existence, is the basis of Heidegger's notions of authenticity and resoluteness—that is, of those specific possibilities for Dasein which depend on escaping the "vulgar" temporality of calculation and of public life.
The marriage of these two observations depends on the fact that each of them is essentially concerned with time. That Dasein is thrown into an already existing world and thus into its mortal possibilities does not only mean that Dasein is an essentially temporal being; it also implies that the description of Dasein can only be carried out in terms inherited from the Western tradition itself. For Heidegger, unlike for Husserl, philosophical terminology could not be divorced from the history of the use of that terminology, and thus genuine philosophy could not avoid confronting questions of language and meaning. The existential analytic of Being and Time was thus always only a first step in Heidegger's philosophy, to be followed by the "dismantling" (Destruktion) of the history of philosophy, that is, a transformation of its language and meaning, that would have made of the existential analytic only a kind of "limit case" (in the sense in which special relativity is a limit case of general relativity).
That Heidegger did not write this second part of Being and Time, and that the existential analytic was left behind in the course of Heidegger's subsequent writings on the history of being, might be interpreted as a failure to conjugate his account of individual experience with his account of the vicissitudes of the collective human adventure that he understands the Western philosophical tradition to be. And this would in turn raise the question of whether this failure is due to a flaw in Heidegger's account of temporality, that is, of whether Heidegger was correct to oppose vulgar and authentic time. There are also recent critiques in this regard that were directed at Heidegger's focus on time instead of primarily thinking about being in relation to place and space, and to the notion of dwelling, with connections too to architectural theory as impacted by phenomenology.
Being and Time (German title: Sein und Zeit), published in 1927, was Heidegger's first academic book. He had been under pressure to publish in order to qualify for Husserl's (to whom he dedicated the work) chair at the University of Freiburg and the success of this work ensured his appointment to the post.
It investigates the question of Being by asking about the being for whom Being is a question. Heidegger names this being Dasein (see above), and the book pursues its investigation through themes such as mortality, care, anxiety, temporality, and historicity. It was Heidegger's original intention to write a second half of the book, consisting of a "Destruktion" of the history of philosophy—that is, the transformation of philosophy by re-tracing its history—but he never completed this project.
Being and Time influenced many thinkers, including such existentialist thinkers as Jean-Paul Sartre (although Heidegger distanced himself from existentialism—see below).
Later works: The Turn
Heidegger's later works, beginning by 1930 and largely established by the early 1940s, seem to many commentators (e.g. William J. Richardson) to at least reflect a shift of focus, if not indeed a major change in his philosophical outlook, which is known as "the turn" (die Kehre). One way this has been understood is as a shift from "doing" to "dwelling" and from Being and Time to Time and Being (This aspect had a particular influence on architectural theorists in their focus on place and space in thinking about dwelling. Such is the case with the work of Christian Norberg-Schulz and Nader El-Bizri). However, others feel that this is to overstate the difference. For example, in 2011 Mark Wrathall argued that Heidegger pursued and refined the central notion of unconcealment throughout his life as a philosopher. Its importance and continuity in his thinking, Wrathall states, shows that he did not have a "turn". A reviewer of Wrathall's book stated: "An ontology of unconcealment [...] means a description and analysis of the broad contexts in which entities show up as meaningful to us, as well as the conditions under which such contexts, or worlds, emerge and fade."
Heidegger focuses less on the way in which the structures of being are revealed in everyday behavior, and more on the way in which behaviour itself depends on a prior "openness to being." The essence of being human is the maintenance of this openness. Heidegger contrasts this openness to the "will to power" of the modern human subject, which is one way of forgetting this originary openness.
Heidegger understands the commencement of the history of Western philosophy as a brief period of authentic openness to being, during the time of the pre-Socratics, especially Anaximander, Heraclitus, and Parmenides. This was followed, according to Heidegger, by a long period increasingly dominated by the forgetting of this initial openness, a period which commences with Plato, and which occurs in different ways throughout Western history.
Two recurring themes of Heidegger's later writings are poetry and technology. Heidegger sees poetry and technology as two contrasting ways of "revealing." Poetry reveals being in the way in which, if it is genuine poetry, it commences something new. Technology, on the other hand, when it gets going, inaugurates the world of the dichotomous subject and object, which modern philosophy commencing with Descartes also reveals. But with modern technology a new stage of revealing is reached, in which the subject-object distinction is overcome even in the "material" world of technology. The essence of modern technology is the conversion of the whole universe of beings into an undifferentiated "standing reserve" (Bestand) of energy available for any use to which humans choose to put it. Heidegger described the essence of modern technology as Gestell, or "enframing." Heidegger does not unequivocally condemn technology: while he acknowledges that modern technology contains grave dangers, Heidegger nevertheless also argues that it may constitute a chance for human beings to enter a new epoch in their relation to being. Despite this, some commentators have insisted that an agrarian nostalgia permeates his later work.
In a 1950 lecture he formulated the famous saying Language speaks, later published in the 1959 essays collection Unterwegs zur Sprache, and collected in the 1971 English book Poetry, Language, Thought.
Heidegger's later works include Vom Wesen der Wahrheit ("On the Essence of Truth", 1930), Der Ursprung des Kunstwerkes ("The Origin of the Work of Art", 1935), Einführung in die Metaphysik ("Introduction to Metaphysics", 1935), Bauen Wohnen Denken ("Building Dwelling Thinking", 1951), and Die Frage nach der Technik ("The Question Concerning Technology", 1954) and Was heisst Denken? (What Is Called Thinking? 1954). Also Beiträge zur Philosophie (Vom Ereignis) (Contributions to Philosophy (From Enowning)), composed in the years 1936–38 but not published until 1989, on the centennial of Heidegger's birth.
Heidegger and the ground of History
Heidegger believed the Western world to be on a trajectory headed for total war, and on the brink of profound nihilism (the rejection of all religious and moral principles), which would be the purest and highest revelation of Being itself, offering a horrifying crossroads of either salvation or the end of metaphysics and modernity; rendering the West a wasteland populated by tool-using brutes, characterized by an unprecedented ignorance and barbarism in which everything is permitted. He thought the latter possibility would degenerate mankind generally into scientists, workers and brutes; living under the last mantle of one of three ideologies, Americanism, Marxism or Nazism (which he deemed metaphysically identical, as avatars of subjectivity and institutionalized nihilism), and an unfettered totalitarian world technology.
Supposedly, this epoch would be ironically celebrated, as the most enlightened and glorious in human history. He envisaged this abyss to be the greatest event in the West's history because it would enable Humanity to comprehend Being more profoundly and primordially than the Pre-Socratics.
Recent scholarship has shown that Heidegger was substantially influenced by St. Augustine of Hippo and that Being and Time would not have been possible without the influence of Augustine's thought. Augustine's Confessions was particularly influential in shaping Heidegger's thought.
Augustine viewed time as relative and subjective, and that being and time were bound up together. Heidegger adopted similar views, e.g. that time was the horizon of Being: ' ...time temporalizes itself only as long as there are human beings.'
Aristotle and the Greeks
Heidegger was influenced at an early age by Aristotle, mediated through Catholic theology, medieval philosophy and Franz Brentano. Aristotle's ethical, logical, and metaphysical works were crucial to the development of his thought in the crucial period of the 1920s. Although he later worked less on Aristotle, Heidegger recommended postponing reading Nietzsche, and to "first study Aristotle for ten to fifteen years." In reading Aristotle, Heidegger increasingly contested the traditional Latin translation and scholastic interpretation of his thought. Particularly important (not least for its influence upon others, both in their interpretation of Aristotle and in rehabilitating a neo-Aristotelian "practical philosophy") was his radical reinterpretation of Book Six of Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics and several books of the Metaphysics. Both informed the argument of Being and Time. Heidegger's thought is original in being an authentic retrieval of the past, a repetition of the possibilities handed down by the tradition.
The idea of asking about being may be traced back via Aristotle to Parmenides. Heidegger claimed to have revived the question of being, the question having been largely forgotten by the metaphysical tradition extending from Plato to Descartes, a forgetfulness extending to the Age of Enlightenment and then to modern science and technology. In pursuit of the retrieval of this question, Heidegger spent considerable time reflecting on ancient Greek thought, in particular on Plato, Parmenides, Heraclitus, and Anaximander, as well as on the tragic playwright Sophocles.
Heidegger's very early project of developing a "hermeneutics of factical life" and his hermeneutical transformation of phenomenology was influenced in part by his reading of the works of Wilhelm Dilthey.
Of the influence of Dilthey, Hans-Georg Gadamer writes the following: "As far as Dilthey is concerned, we all know today what I have known for a long time: namely that it is a mistake to conclude on the basis of the citation in Being and Time that Dilthey was especially influential in the development of Heidegger's thinking in the mid-1920s. This dating of the influence is much too late." He adds that by the fall of 1923 it was plain that Heidegger felt "the clear superiority of Count Yorck over the famous scholar, Dilthey." Gadamer nevertheless makes clear that Dilthey's influence was important in helping the youthful Heidegger "in distancing himself from the systematic ideal of Neo-Kantianism, as Heidegger acknowledges in Being and Time." Based on Heidegger's earliest lecture courses, in which Heidegger already engages Dilthey's thought prior to the period Gadamer mentions as "too late", scholars as diverse as Theodore Kisiel and David Farrell Krell have argued for the importance of Diltheyan concepts and strategies in the formation of Heidegger's thought.
Even though Gadamer's interpretation of Heidegger has been questioned, there is little doubt that Heidegger seized upon Dilthey's concept of hermeneutics. Heidegger's novel ideas about ontology required a gestalt formation, not merely a series of logical arguments, in order to demonstrate his fundamentally new paradigm of thinking, and the hermeneutic circle offered a new and powerful tool for the articulation and realization of these ideas.
There is disagreement over the degree of influence that Husserl had on Heidegger's philosophical development, just as there is disagreement about the degree to which Heidegger's philosophy is grounded in phenomenology. These disagreements centre upon how much of Husserlian phenomenology is contested by Heidegger, and how much this phenomenology in fact informs Heidegger's own understanding.
On the relation between the two figures, Gadamer wrote: "When asked about phenomenology, Husserl was quite right to answer as he used to in the period directly after World War I: 'Phenomenology, that is me and Heidegger'." Nevertheless, Gadamer noted that Heidegger was no patient collaborator with Husserl, and that Heidegger's "rash ascent to the top, the incomparable fascination he aroused, and his stormy temperament surely must have made Husserl, the patient one, as suspicious of Heidegger as he always had been of Max Scheler's volcanic fire."
Robert J. Dostal understood the importance of Husserl to be profound:
Heidegger himself, who is supposed to have broken with Husserl, bases his hermeneutics on an account of time that not only parallels Husserl's account in many ways but seems to have been arrived at through the same phenomenological method as was used by Husserl.... The differences between Husserl and Heidegger are significant, but if we do not see how much it is the case that Husserlian phenomenology provides the framework for Heidegger's approach, we will not be able to appreciate the exact nature of Heidegger's project in Being and Time or why he left it unfinished.
Daniel O. Dahlstrom saw Heidegger's presentation of his work as a departure from Husserl as unfairly misrepresenting Husserl's own work. Dahlstrom concluded his consideration of the relation between Heidegger and Husserl as follows:
Heidegger's silence about the stark similarities between his account of temporality and Husserl's investigation of internal time-consciousness contributes to a misrepresentation of Husserl's account of intentionality. Contrary to the criticisms Heidegger advances in his lectures, intentionality (and, by implication, the meaning of 'to be') in the final analysis is not construed by Husserl as sheer presence (be it the presence of a fact or object, act or event). Yet for all its "dangerous closeness" to what Heidegger understands by temporality, Husserl's account of internal time-consciousness does differ fundamentally. In Husserl's account the structure of protentions is accorded neither the finitude nor the primacy that Heidegger claims are central to the original future of ecstatic-horizonal temporality.
Heideggerians regarded Søren Kierkegaard as, by far, the greatest philosophical contributor to Heidegger's own existentialist concepts. Heidegger's concepts of anxiety (Angst) and mortality draw on Kierkegaard and are indebted to the way in which the latter lays out the importance of our subjective relation to truth, our existence in the face of death, the temporality of existence, and the importance of passionate affirmation of one's individual being-in-the-world.
Hölderlin and Nietzsche
Friedrich Hölderlin and Friedrich Nietzsche were both important influences on Heidegger, and many of his lecture courses were devoted to one or the other, especially in the 1930s and 1940s. The lectures on Nietzsche focused on fragments posthumously published under the title The Will to Power, rather than on Nietzsche's published works. Heidegger read The Will to Power as the culminating expression of Western metaphysics, and the lectures are a kind of dialogue between the two thinkers.
The fundamental differences between the philosophical delineations of Heidegger and Adorno can be found in their contrasting views of Hölderlin's poetical works and to a lesser extent in their divergent views on German romanticism in general. For Heidegger, Hölderlin expressed the intuitive necessity of metaphysical concepts as a guide for ethical paradigms, devoid of reflection. Adorno, on the other hand, pointed to the dialectic reflection of historical situations, the sociological interpretations of future outcomes, and therefore opposed the liberating principles of intuitive concepts because they negatively surpassed the perception of societal realities. Nevertheless, it was Heidegger's rationalization and later work on Hölderlin's poems as well as on Parmenides ("For to be aware and to be are the same". B 3) and his consistent understanding of Nietzsche's thought that formed the foundation of postmodern existentialism.
This is also the case for the lecture courses devoted to the poetry of Friedrich Hölderlin, which became an increasingly central focus of Heidegger's work and thought. Heidegger grants to Hölderlin a singular place within the history of being and the history of Germany, as a herald whose thought is yet to be "heard" in Germany or the West. Many of Heidegger's works from the 1930s onwards include meditations on lines from Hölderlin's poetry, and several of the lecture courses are devoted to the reading of a single poem (see, for example, Hölderlin's Hymn "The Ister").
Heidegger and Eastern thought
Some writers on Heidegger's work see possibilities within it for dialogue with traditions of thought outside of Western philosophy, particularly East Asian thinking. Despite perceived differences between Eastern and Western philosophy, some of Heidegger's later work, particularly "A Dialogue on Language between a Japanese and an Inquirer", does show an interest in initiating such a dialogue. Heidegger himself had contact with a number of leading Japanese intellectuals, including members of the Kyoto School, notably Hajime Tanabe and Kuki Shūzō. It has also been claimed that a number of elements within Heidegger's thought bear a close parallel to Eastern philosophical ideas, particularly Zen Buddhism and Taoism. Reinhard May records Chang Chung-Yuan saying that "Heidegger is the only Western Philosopher who not only intellectually understands but has intuitively grasped Taoist thought." May sees great influence of Taoism and Japanese scholars in Heidegger's work, although this influence is not acknowledged by the author. He asserts: "The investigation concludes that Heidegger's work was significantly influenced by East Asian sources. It can be shown, moreover, that in particular instances Heidegger even appropriated wholesale and almost verbatim major ideas from the German translations of Daoist and Zen Buddhist classics. This clandestine textual appropriation of non-Western spirituality, the extent of which has gone undiscovered for so long, seems quite unparalleled, with far-reaching implications for our future interpretation of Heidegger's work."
Heidegger and Architecture
Heidegger's thought influenced some architectural theorists in a direct manner, or through an impact via his reflections on 'dwelling', the 'origin of the work of art', and the unfolding of a broad interest in phenomenology within the contemporary circles of architectural theory.
The Heidegger controversy
Martin Heidegger and Nazism
The rectorate
Adolf Hitler was sworn in as Chancellor of Germany on January 30, 1933. Heidegger was elected rector of the University of Freiburg on April 21, 1933, and assumed the position the following day. On May 1, he joined the Nazi Party.
Heidegger delivered his inaugural address, the Rektoratsrede, on "Die Selbstbehauptung der Deutschen Universität" ("The Self-assertion of the German University") on 27 May.
His tenure as rector was fraught with difficulties from the outset. Some National Socialist education officials viewed him as a rival, while others saw his efforts as comical. Some of Heidegger's fellow National Socialists also ridiculed his philosophical writings as gibberish. He finally offered his resignation on 23 April 1934, and it was accepted on 27 April. Heidegger remained a member of both the academic faculty and of the Nazi Party until the end of the war.
Philosophical historian Hans Sluga wrote:
Though as rector he prevented students from displaying an anti-Semitic poster at the entrance to the university and from holding a book burning, he kept in close contact with the Nazi student leaders and clearly signaled to them his sympathy with their activism.
In 1945, Heidegger wrote of his term as rector, giving the writing to his son Hermann; it was published in 1983:
The rectorate was an attempt to see something in the movement that had come to power, beyond all its failings and crudeness, that was much more far-reaching and that could perhaps one day bring a concentration on the Germans' Western historical essence. It will in no way be denied that at the time I believed in such possibilities and for that reason renounced the actual vocation of thinking in favor of being effective in an official capacity. In no way will what was caused by my own inadequacy in office be played down. But these points of view do not capture what is essential and what moved me to accept the rectorate.
Treatment of Husserl
Beginning in 1917, German-Jewish philosopher Edmund Husserl championed Heidegger's work, and helped him secure the retiring Husserl's chair in Philosophy at the University of Freiburg.
On 6 April 1933, the Reichskommissar of Baden Province, Robert Wagner, suspended all Jewish government employees, including present and retired faculty at the University of Freiburg. Heidegger's predecessor as Rector formally notified Husserl of his "enforced leave of absence" on 14 April 1933.
Heidegger became Rector of the University of Freiburg on 22 April 1933. The following week the national Reich law of 28 April 1933, replaced Reichskommissar Wagner's decree. The Reich law required the firing of Jewish professors from German universities, including those, such as Husserl, who had converted to Christianity. The termination of the retired professor Husserl's academic privileges thus did not involve any specific action on Heidegger's part.
Heidegger had by then broken off contact with Husserl, other than through intermediaries. Heidegger later claimed that his relationship with Husserl had already become strained after Husserl publicly "settled accounts" with Heidegger and Max Scheler in the early 1930s.
Heidegger did not attend his former mentor's cremation in 1938. In 1941, under pressure from publisher Max Niemeyer, Heidegger agreed to remove the dedication to Husserl from Being and Time (restored in post-war editions).
Heidegger's behavior towards Husserl has evoked controversy. Arendt initially suggested that Heidegger's behavior precipitated Husserl's death. She called Heidegger a "potential murderer." However, she later recanted her accusation.
In 1939, only a year after Husserl's death, Heidegger wrote in his Black Notebooks: "The more original and inceptive the coming decisions and questions become, the more inaccessible will they remain to this [Jewish] 'race'. (Thus, Husserl's step toward phenomenological observation, and his rejection of psychological explanations and historiological reckoning of opinions, are of enduring importance—yet it never reaches into the domains of essential decisions", seeming to imply that Husserl's philosophy was limited purely because he was Jewish.
Post-rectorate period
After the failure of Heidegger's rectorship, he withdrew from most political activity, without canceling his membership in the NSDAP (Nazi Party). References to National Socialism continued to appear in his work.
The most controversial such reference occurred during a 1935 lecture which was published in 1953 as part of the book Introduction to Metaphysics. In the published version, Heidegger refers to the "inner truth and greatness" of the National Socialist movement (die innere Wahrheit und Größe dieser Bewegung), but he then adds a qualifying statement in parentheses: "namely, the confrontation of planetary technology and modern humanity" (nämlich die Begegnung der planetarisch bestimmten Technik und des neuzeitlichen Menschen). However, it subsequently transpired that this qualification had not been made during the original lecture, although Heidegger claimed that it had been. This has led scholars to argue that Heidegger still supported the Nazi party in 1935 but that he did not want to admit this after the war, and so he attempted to silently correct his earlier statement.
In private notes written in 1939, Heidegger took a strongly critical view of Hitler's ideology; however, in public lectures, he seems to have continued to make ambiguous comments which, if they expressed criticism of the regime, did so only in the context of praising its ideals. For instance, in a 1942 lecture, published posthumously, Heidegger said of recent German classics scholarship:
In the majority of "research results," the Greeks appear as pure National Socialists. This overenthusiasm on the part of academics seems not even to notice that with such "results" it does National Socialism and its historical uniqueness no service at all, not that it needs this anyhow.
An important witness to Heidegger's continued allegiance to National Socialism during the post-rectorship period is his former student Karl Löwith, who met Heidegger in 1936 while Heidegger was visiting Rome. In an account set down in 1940 (though not intended for publication), Löwith recalled that Heidegger wore a swastika pin to their meeting, though Heidegger knew that Löwith was Jewish. Löwith also recalled that Heidegger "left no doubt about his faith in Hitler", and stated that his support for National Socialism was in agreement with the essence of his philosophy.
Post-war period
After the end of World War II, Heidegger was summoned to appear at a denazification hearing. Heidegger's former lover Arendt spoke on his behalf at this hearing, while Jaspers spoke against him. The result of the hearings was that Heidegger was forbidden to teach between 1945 and 1951. One consequence of this teaching ban was that Heidegger began to engage far more in the French philosophical scene.
In his postwar thinking, Heidegger distanced himself from Nazism, but his critical comments about Nazism seem "scandalous" to some since they tend to equate the Nazi war atrocities with other inhumane practices related to rationalisation and industrialisation, including the treatment of animals by factory farming. For instance in a lecture delivered at Bremen in 1949, Heidegger said: "Agriculture is now a motorized food industry, the same thing in its essence as the production of corpses in the gas chambers and the extermination camps, the same thing as blockades and the reduction of countries to famine, the same thing as the manufacture of hydrogen bombs."
In 1967 Heidegger met with the Jewish poet Paul Celan, a concentration camp survivor. Celan visited Heidegger at his country retreat and wrote an enigmatic poem about the meeting, which some interpret as Celan's wish for Heidegger to apologize for his behavior during the Nazi era.
Der Spiegel interview
On 23 September 1966, Heidegger was interviewed by Rudolf Augstein and Georg Wolff for Der Spiegel magazine, in which he agreed to discuss his political past provided that the interview be published posthumously. (It was published five days after his death, on 31 May 1976.) In the interview, Heidegger defended his entanglement with National Socialism in two ways: first, he argued that there was no alternative, saying that he was trying to save the university (and science in general) from being politicized and thus had to compromise with the Nazi administration. Second, he admitted that he saw an "awakening" (Aufbruch) which might help to find a "new national and social approach," but said that he changed his mind about this in 1934, largely prompted by the violence of the Night of the Long Knives.
In his interview Heidegger defended as double-speak his 1935 lecture describing the "inner truth and greatness of this movement." He affirmed that Nazi informants who observed his lectures would understand that by "movement" he meant National Socialism. However, Heidegger asserted that his dedicated students would know this statement was no eulogy for the NSDAP. Rather, he meant it as he expressed it in the parenthetical clarification later added to Introduction to Metaphysics (1953), namely, "the confrontation of planetary technology and modern humanity."
The Löwith account from 1936 has been cited to contradict the account given in the Der Spiegel interview in two ways: that he did not make any decisive break with National Socialism in 1934, and that Heidegger was willing to entertain more profound relations between his philosophy and political involvement. The Der Spiegel interviewers did not bring up Heidegger's 1949 quotation comparing the industrialization of agriculture to the extermination camps. In fact, the interviewers were not in possession of much of the evidence now known for Heidegger's Nazi sympathies.
Influence and reception in France
Heidegger was one of the most influential philosophers of the 20th century, and his ideas have penetrated into many areas, but in France there is a very long and particular history of reading and interpreting his work which in itself resulted in deepening the impact of his thought in Continental Philosophy. His influence is clear on Jean Beaufret, François Fédier, Dominique Janicaud, Jean-Luc Marion, Jean-François Courtine, etc. -- one cannot even read Derrida or Levinas without taking into account their critiques of Heidegger that run deep at the basis of their thinking.
Existentialism and pre-war influence
Heidegger's influence on French philosophy began in the 1930s, when Being and Time, "What is Metaphysics?" and other Heideggerian texts were read by Jean-Paul Sartre and other existentialists, as well as by thinkers such as Alexandre Kojève, Georges Bataille and Emmanuel Levinas. Because Heidegger's discussion of ontology (the study of being) is rooted in an analysis of the mode of existence of individual human beings (Da-sein, or there-being), his work has often been associated with existentialism. The influence of Heidegger on Sartre's Being and Nothingness is marked, but Heidegger felt that Sartre had misread his work, as he argued in later texts such as the "Letter on Humanism'." In that text, intended for a French audience, Heidegger explained this misreading in the following terms:
Sartre's key proposition about the priority of existentia over essentia [that is, Sartre's statement that "existence precedes essence"] does, however, justify using the name "existentialism" as an appropriate title for a philosophy of this sort. But the basic tenet of "existentialism" has nothing at all in common with the statement from Being and Time [that "the 'essence' of Dasein lies in its existence"]—apart from the fact that in Being and Time no statement about the relation of essentia and existentia can yet be expressed, since there it is still a question of preparing something precursory.
"Letter on Humanism'" is often seen as a direct response to Sartre's 1945 lecture "Existentialism is a Humanism." Aside from merely disputing readings of his own work, however, in "Letter on Humanism,'" Heidegger asserts that "Every humanism is either grounded in a metaphysics or is itself made to be the ground of one." Heidegger's largest issue with Sartre's existential humanism is that, while it does make a humanistic 'move' in privileging existence over essence, "the reversal of a metaphysical statement remains a metaphysical statement." From this point onward in his thought, Heidegger attempted to think beyond metaphysics to a place where the articulation of the fundamental questions of ontology were fundamentally possible: only from this point can we restore (that is, re-give [redonner]) any possible meaning to the word "humanism".
Post-war forays into France
After the war, Heidegger was banned from university teaching for a period on account of his activities as Rector of Freiburg University. He developed a number of contacts in France, where his work continued to be taught, and a number of French students visited him at Todtnauberg (see, for example, Jean-François Lyotard's brief account in Heidegger and "the Jews", which discusses a Franco-German conference held in Freiburg in 1947, one step toward bringing together French and German students). Heidegger subsequently made several visits to France, and made efforts to keep abreast of developments in French philosophy by way of correspondence with Jean Beaufret, an early French translator of Heidegger, and with Lucien Braun.
Derrida and deconstruction
Deconstruction came to Heidegger's attention in 1967 by way of Lucien Braun's recommendation of Jacques Derrida's work (Hans-Georg Gadamer was present at an initial discussion and indicated to Heidegger that Derrida's work came to his attention by way of an assistant). Heidegger expressed interest in meeting Derrida personally after the latter sent him some of his work. There was discussion of a meeting in 1972, but this failed to take place. Heidegger's interest in Derrida is said by Braun to have been considerable (as is evident in two letters, of September 29, 1967 and May 16, 1972, from Heidegger to Braun). Braun also brought to Heidegger's attention the work of Michel Foucault. Foucault's relation to Heidegger is a matter of considerable difficulty; Foucault acknowledged Heidegger as a philosopher whom he read but never wrote about. (For more on this see Penser à Strasbourg, Jacques Derrida, et al., which includes reproductions of both letters and an account by Braun, "À mi-chemin entre Heidegger et Derrida").
Derrida attempted to displace the understanding of Heidegger's work that had been prevalent in France from the period of the ban against Heidegger teaching in German universities, which amounted to an almost wholesale rejection of the influence of Jean-Paul Sartre and existentialist terms. In Derrida's view, deconstruction is a tradition inherited via Heidegger (the French term "déconstruction" is a term coined to translate Heidegger's use of the words "Destruktion"—literally "destruction"—and "Abbau"—more literally "de-building"). According to Derrida, Sartre's interpretation of Dasein and other key Heideggerian concerns is overly psychologistic, anthropocentric, and misses the historicality central to Dasein in Being and Time.
The Farías debate
Derrida, Lacoue-Labarthe, and Jean-François Lyotard, among others, all engaged in debate and disagreement about the relation between Heidegger's philosophy and his Nazi politics. These debates included the question of whether it was possible to do without Heidegger's philosophy, a position which Derrida in particular rejected. Forums where these debates took place include the proceedings of the first conference dedicated to Derrida's work, published as "Les Fins de l'homme à partir du travail de Jacques Derrida: colloque de Cerisy, 23 juillet-2 août 1980", Derrida's "Feu la cendre/cio' che resta del fuoco", and the studies on Paul Celan by Lacoue-Labarthe and Derrida which shortly preceded the detailed studies of Heidegger's politics published in and after 1987.
When in 1987 Víctor Farías published his book Heidegger et le nazisme, this debate was taken up by many others, some of whom were inclined to disparage so-called "deconstructionists" for their association with Heidegger's philosophy. Derrida and others not only continued to defend the importance of reading Heidegger, but attacked Farías on the grounds of poor scholarship and for what they saw as the sensationalism of his approach. Not all scholars agreed with this negative assessment: Richard Rorty, for example, declared that "[Farías'] book includes more concrete information relevant to Heidegger's relations with the Nazis than anything else available, and it is an excellent antidote to the evasive apologetics that are still being published."
Bernard Stiegler
More recently, Heidegger's thought has considerably influenced the work of the French philosopher Bernard Stiegler. This is evident even from the title of Stiegler's multi-volume magnum opus, La technique et le temps (volume one translated into English as Technics and Time, 1: The Fault of Epimetheus). Stiegler offers an original reading of Heidegger, arguing that there can be no access to "originary temporality" other than via material, that is, technical, supports, and that Heidegger recognised this in the form of his account of world historicality, yet in the end suppressed that fact. Stiegler understands the existential analytic of Being and Time as an account of psychic individuation, and his later "history of being" as an account of collective individuation. He understands many of the problems of Heidegger's philosophy and politics as the consequence of Heidegger's inability to integrate the two.
Heidegger has been very influential on the work of Italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben. Agamben attended seminars in France led by Heidegger in the late 1960s.
Heidegger's influence upon 20th century continental philosophy is unquestioned and has produced a variety of critical responses.
Early criticisms
According to Husserl, Being and Time claimed to deal with ontology but only did so in the first few pages of the book. Having nothing further to contribute to an ontology independent of human existence, Heidegger changed the topic to Dasein. Whereas Heidegger argued that the question of human existence is central to the pursuit of the question of being, Husserl criticized this as reducing phenomenology to "philosophical anthropology" and offering an abstract and incorrect portrait of the human being.
The Neo-Kantian Ernst Cassirer and Heidegger engaged in an influential debate located in Davos in 1929, concerning the significance of Kantian notions of freedom and rationality. Whereas Cassirer defended the role of rationality in Kant, Heidegger argued for the priority of the imagination. Dilthey's student Georg Misch wrote the first extended critical appropriation of Heidegger in Lebensphilosophie und Phänomenologie. Eine Auseinandersetzung der Diltheyschen Richtung mit Heidegger und Husserl, Leipzig 1930 (3. ed. Stuttgart 1964).
Left-Hegelianism and critical theory
Hegel-influenced Marxist thinkers, especially György Lukács and the Frankfurt School, associated the style and content of Heidegger's thought with German irrationalism and criticized its political implications.
Initially members of the Frankfurt School were positively disposed to Heidegger, becoming more critical at the beginning of the 1930s. Heidegger's student Herbert Marcuse became associated with the Frankfurt School. Initially striving for a synthesis between Hegelian Marxism and Heidegger's phenomenology, Marcuse later rejected Heidegger's thought for its "false concreteness" and "revolutionary conservativism." Theodor Adorno wrote an extended critique of the ideological character of Heidegger's early and later use of language in the Jargon of Authenticity. Contemporary social theorists associated with the Frankfurt School have remained largely critical of Heidegger's works and influence. In particular, Jürgen Habermas admonishes the influence of Heidegger on recent French philosophy in his polemic against "postmodernism" in The Philosophical Discourse of Modernity (1985). However, recent work by philosopher and critical theorist Nikolas Kompridis tries to show that Heidegger's insights into world disclosure are badly misunderstood and mishandled by Habermas, and are of vital importance for critical theory, offering an important way of renewing that tradition.
Reception by analytic and Anglo-American philosophy
Criticism of Heidegger's philosophy has also come from analytic philosophy, beginning with logical positivism. In "The Elimination of Metaphysics Through Logical Analysis of Language" (1932), Rudolf Carnap accused Heidegger of offering an "illusory" ontology, criticizing him for committing the fallacy of reification and for wrongly dismissing the logical treatment of language which, according to Carnap, can only lead to writing "nonsensical pseudo-propositions."
The British logical positivist A. J. Ayer was strongly critical of Heidegger's philosophy. In Ayer's view, Heidegger proposed vast, overarching theories regarding existence, which are completely unverifiable through empirical demonstration and logical analysis. For Ayer, this sort of philosophy was a poisonous strain in modern thought. He considered Heidegger to be the worst example of such philosophy, which Ayer believed to be entirely useless.
Bertrand Russell commented, expressing the sentiments of many mid-20th-century analytic philosophers, that:
Highly eccentric in its terminology, his philosophy is extremely obscure. One cannot help suspecting that language is here running riot. An interesting point in his speculations is the insistence that nothingness is something positive. As with much else in Existentialism, this is a psychological observation made to pass for logic.
Roger Scruton stated that: "His major work Being and Time is formidably difficult—unless it is utter nonsense, in which case it is laughably easy. I am not sure how to judge it, and have read no commentator who even begins to make sense of it".
The analytic tradition values clarity of expression. Heidegger, however, has on occasion appeared to take an opposing view, stating for example:
those in the crossing must in the end know what is mistaken by all urging for intelligibility: that every thinking of being, all philosophy, can never be confirmed by "facts," i.e., by beings. Making itself intelligible is suicide for philosophy. Those who idolize "facts" never notice that their idols only shine in a borrowed light. They are also meant not to notice this; for thereupon they would have to be at a loss and therefore useless. But idolizers and idols are used wherever gods are in flight and so announce their nearness.
Apart from the charge of obscurantism, other analytic philosophers considered the actual content of Heidegger's work to be either faulty and meaningless, vapid or uninteresting. However, not all analytic philosophers have been as hostile. Gilbert Ryle wrote a critical yet positive review of Being and Time. Ludwig Wittgenstein made a remark recorded by Friedrich Waismann: "To be sure, I can imagine what Heidegger means by being and anxiety" which has been construed by some commentators as sympathetic to Heidegger's philosophical approach. These positive and negative analytic evaluations have been collected in Michael Murray (ed.), Heidegger and Modern Philosophy: Critical Essays (Yale University Press, 1978). Heidegger's reputation within English-language philosophy has slightly improved in philosophical terms in some part through the efforts of Hubert Dreyfus, Richard Rorty, and a recent generation of analytically oriented phenomenology scholars. Pragmatist Rorty claimed that Heidegger's approach to philosophy in the first half of his career has much in common with that of the latter-day Ludwig Wittgenstein. Nevertheless, Rorty asserted that what Heidegger had constructed in his writings was a myth of being rather than an account of it.
The Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy states that Heidegger's writing is "notoriously difficult", possibly because his thinking was "original" and clearly on obscure and innovative topics.
Contemporary European reception
Even though Heidegger is considered by many observers to be the most influential philosopher of the 20th century in continental philosophy, aspects of his work have been criticised by those who nevertheless acknowledge this influence, such as Hans-Georg Gadamer and Jacques Derrida. Some questions raised about Heidegger's philosophy include the priority of ontology, the status of animals, the nature of the religious, Heidegger's supposed neglect of ethics (Levinas), the body (Maurice Merleau-Ponty), sexual difference (Luce Irigaray), or space (Peter Sloterdijk).
Levinas was deeply influenced by Heidegger, and yet became one of his fiercest critics, contrasting the infinity of the good beyond being with the immanence and totality of ontology. Levinas also condemned Heidegger's involvement with National Socialism, stating: "One can forgive many Germans, but there are some Germans it is difficult to forgive. It is difficult to forgive Heidegger."
Heidegger's defenders, notably Arendt, see his support for Nazism as arguably a personal " 'error' " (a word which Arendt placed in quotation marks when referring to Heidegger's Nazi-era politics). Defenders think this error was irrelevant to Heidegger's philosophy. Critics such as Levinas, Karl Löwith, and Theodor Adorno claim that Heidegger's support for National Socialism revealed flaws inherent in his thought.
In film
Being in the World draws on Heidegger's work to explore what it means to be human in a technological age. A number of Heidegger scholars are interviewed, including Hubert Dreyfus, Mark Wrathall, Albert Borgmann, John Haugeland and Taylor Carman.
The Ister (2004) is a film based on Heidegger's 1942 lecture course on Friedrich Hölderlin, and features Jean-Luc Nancy, Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe, Bernard Stiegler, and Hans-Jürgen Syberberg.
The film director Terrence Malick translated Heidegger's 1929 essay "Vom Wesen des Grundes" into English. It was published under the title The Essence of Reasons (Evanston: Northwestern University Press, 1969, bilingual edition). It is also frequently said of Malick that his cinema has Heideggerian sensibilities. See for instance: Marc Furstenau and Leslie MacAvoy, "Terrence Malick's Heideggerian Cinema: War and the Question of Being in The Thin Red Line" In The cinema of Terrence Malick: Poetic visions of America, 2nd ed. Edited by Hanna Patterson (London: Wallflower Press 2007): 179–91. See also: Stanley Cavell, The World Viewed: Reflections on the Ontology of Film (Cambridge: Harvard University Press 1979): XV.
The 2006 experimental short Die Entnazifizierung des MH by James T. Hong imagines Heidegger's denazification proceedings.
In the 1981 film My Dinner with Andre, Heidegger's theory that "experiencing one's being to the fullest is like experiencing the decay of that being towards one's death, as a part of your experience" is quoted by the actor Wallace Shawn, who plays himself.
Heidegger's collected works are published by Vittorio Klostermann. The Gesamtausgabe was begun during Heidegger's lifetime. He defined the order of publication and dictated that the principle of editing should be "ways not works." Publication has not yet been completed.

It's time to break the warriors curse
the NBA Finals This was a blessing Boston Celtics Team. After years of failure, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown finally led their team to the Eastern Conference Championship and earned the right to compete for this biggest prize in basketball.
Unfortunately, it was their opponents Golden State Warriors, a team that knows what it takes to lift the Larry O'Brien Trophy and that excels at shaking its opponents by getting in their heads over the course of a series. For all the rhetoric surrounding a lousy series for Tatum or the clearly struggling Robert Williams, the truth is that Golden State won the mental battles; They won because they knew how to handle Boston – the problem is, they still do.
When the Celtics entered San Francisco in early December, they were brimming with confidence, and fresh wins over Brooklyn NetworksAnd Toronto RaptorsAnd Phoenix Suns. Up to that point, the Celtics had only lost five games, losing only once on consecutive occasions.
Against the Warriors, however, the weight of that fateful Finals weighed too heavy, and throughout the 48-minute period Boston began to fall apart as Golden State slowly turned up the pressure. What followed was the worst series of games of Boston's season so far. los angeles clippers losses, Orlando Magic (twice) f Indiana Pacers It all followed in quick succession as the Celtics looked disillusioned with confidence, and their free offense began to slip into old seasons.
It's been two weeks until we start to see the return of Mazzola-Ball and his confident flaunting on the field. Two weeks of heavy losses. Two weeks of questionable offers. It's all because the Warriors win the mind games…again.
Disturbingly, things look strikingly similar going into Thursday's game as the Celtics hope to hold up the season's series 1-1. Boston hasn't lost since losing on January 3 at the… Oklahoma City Thunder They entered their match against the defending champions in seven matches.
Now is the time for Jayson Tatum & co. To dispel the demons of last summer. To prove to themselves that they can not only hold on to the warriors but defeat them. Normally, I would argue that a regular season win over your Western opponent twice a year doesn't mean much, but on this occasion, it says it all.
Sometimes, you just need to get over the hump, to stand up to that outspoken bully in the office or classroom and to stand your ground in the face of adversity. The Golden States Memories celebrations must be fresh in our minds, especially those of the players who spent the summer mourning an opportunity they felt was lost to them.
Assuming Jaylen Brown is healthy and free to play, the Celtics will be at full strength in this contest. More importantly, it's worth noting that the Browns are usually the only player Golden State struggles to slow down — he went for 31 in their December meeting and middle 23.5/7.3/3.7 during the playoff series, with shooting holes of 43.1/34/80.6.
It looks like Robert Williams will be back to his best, which, compared to his limited ability during the postseason, is a significant factor, and of course, Malcolm Brogdon has settled into the rotation a bit more. The Celtics have all the tools and all the talent to take on an aging Warriors team and finally put their six-game series on their minds.
Of course, Tatum's performance would likely have a significant impact on the outcome of the match; If anyone needs to see the ball drop early and often, it's him. However, the Warriors' mental superiority extends far beyond Tatum's, and for the Celtics to succeed, they will need to stick to a game plan that has seen them harvest the best record in the NBA, with one of the most balanced offenses on defense. League approach.
Thursday's game at TD Garden is not only the 46th game of their season, it's probably the most important game of their season. Since Golden State has to do what they always do and figure things out in the postseason, we'll likely see a repeat of last summer's classics, and for Boston, the last thing you want is to go to that series having not won a game award against them since game three. .
The Celtics have a chance to break the curse the Warriors have placed on them. We hope they continue to play their trademark basketball and prove that they are the better, deeper team and that they are ready for anything thrown at them in game time.

I live in the northeast United States. Specifically in Queens, NYC. While the city of five boroughs has a fair share of parks and outdoor space, it is more commonly known for its concrete jungle of subway tunnels and towering skyscrapers. However for the past month it's been impossible to not hear the buzz about the impending emergence of cicadas that are likely already emerging as I type this, given the warmer weather outside.
The air is warmer yes, and once it reaches 64°F eight inches below ground these 17-years-young adult cicadas will emerge from their subterranean digs. Yes, you heard me right: this brood has been living underground for seventeen years, since 1996. Underground, they survived Y2K like the rest of us, and now they're ready to swarm the region en masse. While there are over a dozen broods of Magicicada, with one species emerging annually somewhere in North America most years, this species is expected to hatch in the billions. And not simply a billion, or two, but as many as a billion per square mile, all the way from North Carolina to upstate New York. That's a lot of cicadas.
With soil temperature in mind, the folks at Radiolab, in conjunction with New York City's public radio station WNYC, are enlisting "armchair scientists, lovers of nature and DIY makers" to crowdsource data associated with this critter's emergence. Multiple "cicada-tracking events" will be held where participants build homemade soil thermometers. The first of these was two nights ago, held at the Brooklyn Brewery facility in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Over 100 people attended from the tri-state region to assemble an ATmega328p-pu-based circuit. While some said it was their first encounter with a breadboard, they also realized how easy and fun making circuits can be.
These are some images from the build event:
[bs_slideshow]
The full build instructions call for using an Arduino Uno, so anyone can build a soil thermometer. Those instructions can be found on the Cicada Tracker project website. A picture of that build is below, with the lit up LEDs corresponding to a specific indoor temperature. The maps below also show historical data related to the emergence of Brood II cicadas and the current incoming data being collected by the Cicada Tracker project.
Geographic range of Brood II cicadas. Image from Wikipedia.
The Cicada Tracker project is a brilliant example of turning ordinary citizens and nature lovers into makers, using the phenomenon of cicadas to introduce people to the Arduino and basic circuit-building.
And below is a video of the LED thermometer in operation.
[wpvideo v3uXtWxx w=620]
At the beginning when the video snaps into focus, the changing LEDs indicates the temperature in the room shifting from 66°F to 67°F. Then, I pinched the thermistor with two fingers. You can see the LEDs then indicate 90°F and finally 96°F before the video ends.

These mistakes can happen to anyone, & they do.
The root cause in this instance was not criminal hacking, but the inadvertent (and temporary) posting of several spreadsheets containing PII to a public part of BlackRock's website. It's too early to understand all the mechanics involved, but it's apparent that human error played a major role. So, what can be done to prevent such incidents in your company?
None of these options is a magic silver bullet and despite the technology, human error reigns supreme. Nonetheless, having more effective EUC controls can reduce the likelihood of such an incident happening to you and your company.

The Revere plus-Minus: Blackjack Betting System was the latest presentation of Lawrence revere for the dedicated player who wants to pick a long term on the game. This belongs to the mid level strategies in playing blackjack. He did a job convincing that he almost often wins the game and his writings give explanation on the different strategies in playing. He discussed that the counting system is a one level only and it outline the various basic strategy on the positive and negative count.
The revere Plus-Minus: Blackjack betting System uses numerical values similar to other betting system and has a simplified version of the revere Point Count System. The values are : Ace, 0; 2 ,+1; 3, +1; 4, +1; 5, +1; 6, +1; 7,0; 8,0; 9, -1; 10, jack, queen, king, -1. The best strategy with this betting system is to bet more when running counts increases. The counting system differs on a table of numbers and you should memorize the numbers to familiarize yourself without the short cut like using simple mathematics such as adding and subtracting.
The betting strategy of the revere Plus-Minus: Blackjack Betting System is to become a serious player. This is designed to help you in your blackjack game. To use the 1-3-2-6 betting strategy, your first bet is 1 unit, then the 3 units, 2 units, and the 6 units. This is a strategy which is very exciting and interesting if you use it as recreational activities. Other type of betting is called the negative progression. This is done by doubling your blackjack bet every time you lose a blackjack hand. But this strategy is rarely used in the casinos because you cannot double your bet when you lose black hands in a row. Playing with different strategy is good but on this revere plus-minus it helps you win over the house and it improves counting with less effort. | {

Sen. Linares Collects Over 800 Signatures to Protest CL&P Rate Hike
December 17, 2014 by Jerome Wilson
State Senator Art Linares
State Senator Art Linares (Rep. Westbrook) has collected over 800 signatures from local residents protesting Connecticut Light & Power plans to adopt a rate hike. According to the Senator at its December 17 meeting, the state's Public Utilities Commission, "is expected to finalize a $7.12 increase in the average monthly bill that Connecticut Light & Power sends out to its residential customers."
"The $7.12 rate would come on top of a Jan. 1 increase of $18.48, on average, for CL&P residential customers," Linares said.
Linares continued, "As a state senator, I represent 100,000 people in a region that stretches along the Connecticut River Valley from Portland south to Old Saybrook and Lyme. Hundreds of Connecticut rate payers have signed this petition because they want state regulators to deny CL&P's proposed service rate hike. We can't afford more and more and hikes."
"Regardless of whether rates are hiked on Wednesday, December 17, Sen. Linares urged residents to continue to email state regulators at: [email protected] to express their concerns about rising costs," Linares said in a press statement.
Senator Linares also urged residents to sign his online petition at www.senatorlinares.com in opposition to Connecticut Light & Power proposed rate hike, regardless of the Commission's actions on December 17.

Essex Resident Claims "Frontier" Has Raised Rates, and the Senator Responds
Essex resident Robert Kern has written a letter to State Senator Art Linares, complaining that Essex's new telephone and Internet carrier, Frontier Communications, has raised rates in Essex, when it promised not to do so, after it had acquired local service from AT&T.
Kern in a letter to the Senator wrote that his, "customer bills have gone up despite the pledge by Frontier to keep them the same." Kern also sent to the Senator, "my recent bills from AT&T and Frontier as an example."
Kern continued, "Even though the basic line service charge has remained the same, they eliminate a $6.00 monthly ALL DISTANCE promotional credit and added a bogus 'Carrier Cost Recovery Surcharge' of $1.99 per month." As a result," Kern wrote, "my bill for the exact same services rose from $30.15 to $39.50, an increase of more than 26%."
"This is outrageous," Kern wrote the Senator. "Please check this out, as I'm certain customers within your district and across the state are confronted with these unwanted increases in this most basic of utility services."
Senator Linares' Response
Promptly responding to Kern's complaint, the Senator wrote on December 9, "I am bringing your complaint to the attention of state officials." Also, the Senator advised Kern that, "A Dec. 22 public meeting has been scheduled with executives of Frontier Communications regarding complaints like yours," and that the meeting would include a public comment section.
The December 22 public meeting will begin at 9:30 a.m., and it will be held at the offices of the Public Utility Regulatory Authority at 10 Franklin Square in New Britain.
The Senator also wrote, "I have found that many frustrated taxpayers are unaware of how to bring their complaints directly to state officials. If you wish to do so on the Frontier issue email PURA at [email protected] and the Office of Consumer Counsel at [email protected]."
The Senator also wrote to Kern, "To file a complaint about Frontier service with the state Department of Consumer Protection, send an email to [email protected]," that includes your contact information and the particulars of your complaint. .

Town of Essex Orders Debris Removal by Land Owner
December 9, 2014 by Jerome Wilson
Trailer ordered removed by Town of Essex
The Town of Essex has entered a "Cease and Desist Order" against John Molloy, III, the owner of 194 Saybrook Road in Essex, dated November 25. The town charges that Malloy violated Town of Essex Zoning Regulations, section 115A, for, 1) "The presence of debris and waste material." and, 2) "The presence of a commercial truck trailer on the property."
Debris and waste ordered removed at 194 Saybrook Road, Essex
The Town of Essex's "Order to Discontinue Violations" noted, "This Order follows four Notice of Violations and numerous phone calls since 2011. To this day it has been noticed that a minimal effort has gone into relieving the situation of clearing the property of the commercial vehicle trailer and debris."
The town further noted, "The property must be cleaned up to a point where this Order may be removed. The trailer must be removed immediately."
The Order then threatened the owner with "addition actions [if remedial actions are not taken] … that may result in an enforcement action seeking injunctive orders of the Supreme Court, attorney's fees, costs and civil penalties as authorized by the zoning regulations sections 150D and 150E as well as Connecticut General Statutes Section 8-12."
Efforts to reach property owner, John Malloy, III, were unsuccessful.
Essex Meadows Donates $200,000 to Help Acquire The Preserve
November 27, 2014 by Jerome Wilson
ESSEX — The Essex Meadows senior living community has recently contributed $200,000 to help acquire for public use a privately owned, 1,000 acre tract of open land, which is known as The Preserve. The owners of the community, Essex Meadows Properties, Inc., headed by Chairman of the board and CEO, Fred W. Weitz, donated $100,000 and the community's residents and staff matched the owners' contribution with another $100,000. Essex Meadows is a senior retirement community in Essex, Connecticut. The Preserve property is principally located in the Town of Old Saybrook, with seventy of its acres in Essex, and four in Westbrook.
The land for The Preserve is, reportedly, the largest parcel of vacant, "coastal forest" between New York City and Boston. A small portion of The Preserve borders Essex Meadows' property.
The Land of the Preserve
The Preserve land consists of heavily forested land in some areas and open land in others. The property has 38 vernal pools, and 114 acres of wetlands, within its boundaries. In addition, the land serves as a "rest stop" for migratory birds, making their migratory journeys north and south.
If the present fundraising efforts to purchase the land for The Preserve are successful, 1,000 acres of open, recreational space will be saved for the use of present and future generations.
The purchase price of the land for The Preserve is $10 million. To date, the State of Connecticut has pledged $3 million, the Town of Old Saybrook by referendum has approved $3 million and the Town of Essex has approved a contribution of $200,000. The remaining monies for the purchase of the Preserve property are being raised from private and public donors by the Essex Land Trust and other organizations.
New Guests on the Lawns of Essex, Deep River and Chester – Lawn Signs
October 24, 2014 by Jerome Wilson
It started with the posting of just a few lawns signs on the lawns of Essex, Deep River and Chester. Among the first signs in view were those of Bob Siegrist, Republican candidate for State Representative, who is running against incumbent State Representative Phil Miller. Notably, the signs that Siegrist put up in Deep River were "extra large," so that they could not be missed. Then, shortly thereafter, Siegrist's lawn signs were then even exceeded in size by those of his Republican running mate, State Senator Art Linares, who is running for re-election.
Where were the Democratic lawn signs one began to wonder? They first appeared modestly along North Main Street in Essex. Then individual lawn signs began poking into view, including the normal size signs of Emily Bjornberg, Democratic candidate for State Senate, who is running against Senator Linares, and signs for State Representative Phil Miller, who Siegrist is challenging.
In the deluge of lawn signs that was ultimately upon us, the Republicans devoted front row positioning, in cluster after cluster, to the election of Anselmo Delia, the party's candidate for Judge of Probate. The incumbent Judge of Probate, Terrance Lomme, then not only responded in kind with a splattering of lawns signs, he even went so far as to pay for a commercial billboard located on Main Street coming into Deep River.
Judge of Probate candidate Anselmo Delia
Election Day is November 4 this year. Shortly thereafter the lawn signs will disappear, and our area's laws will return to their normal condition.

Re-Run of Race for Judge of Probate in Old Saybrook District
Voters of nine towns, including Lyme, in central Connecticut will decide on Nov. 4 whether to re-elect Judge of Probate Terrance Lomme of Essex for a second, four-year term or to replace him with Attorney Anselmo Delia of Clinton. The two ran against each other four years ago in 2010 when Lomme won by 419 votes. In the 2010 race, Lomme carried the town of Lyme, along with Chester, Deep River, Essex, Lyme and Old Saybrook while Delia carried Clinton, Haddam, Killingworth and Westbrook.
When Lomme ran against Delia in 2010, he committed that, if elected, he would become a full time Judge of Probate. However, after his election Lomme changed his position and in a recent interview he explained, "I thought the job would require a full time judge. However, once we merged the courts, I realized that it was not necessary to be on the job every minute, when the court is open." The merger to which Lomme is referring was when the probate courts in nine towns were merged into a single court in Old Saybrook.
In the 2014 campaign, Lomme has been nominated unanimously for re-election for a second term by the Democratic Nominating Convention. The convention cited Lomme's "invaluable experience" in urging his re-election. The convention also noted Judge Lomme's pivotal role, "for implementing, successfully, the merger of the nine former town probate courts into a single Saybrook Court District."
Lomme's Record as a Judge
Discussing his work over the past four years as a Judge of Probate, Lomme said in a recent interview that he had held over 3,500 hearings since becoming a judge. He also observed that most Judges of Probate in the State of Connecticut maintain private law practices. As for his current campaign for re-election, Lomme charged that his Republican opponent did not have the necessary experience to do the job. Lomme said that Attorney Delia has had only four cases before the probate court over the past four years.
Judge of Probate Terrance Lomme
In addition to serving as a Judge of Probate, Lomme in his capacity as a private attorney has represented a major New York City developer before regulatory bodies of the Town of Essex, including five public hearings before the Essex Planning Commission and another before the Essex Zoning Commission.
The Republican Challenger
Delia, Lomme's Republican challenger, notes that he has been an attorney for 34 years and has represented legal clients in every federal and state court in Connecticut. Delia cites that he has chaired many important public bodies in his hometown of Clinton, including the planning and zoning commission, the board of education and the Youth and Family Service Bureau.
Republican candidate for Judge of Probate attorney Anselmo Delia
With regard to being a Judge of Probate, Delia comments, "Four years ago … I promised, as I do now, that if elected I would terminate my private practice and serve as a full time Judge of Probate. My opponent has opted to continue his private practice during his term in office. I believed then, as I believe now, that the office warrants the level of attention and avoidance of conflict of interest afforded by a full commitment." Delia said, "I am ready to do the job from day one," adding though, "It may take as much as six months to wind up matters with present clients."
Local Resident Recalls Eleanor Roosevelt Endorsement of State Senate Candidacy
September 23, 2014 by Jerome Wilson
Eleanor Roosevelt endorsing the candidacy of Essex resident Jerome Wilson, when he was a candidate for the New York State Senate in 1962
What with much of the country riveted by the PBS documentary on the "Roosevelt's," Essex resident Jerome Wilson has released a photograph of his one time meeting with Eleanor Roosevelt. The photograph was taken in the fall of 1962, and it pictured Mrs. Roosevelt's endorsement of Wilson's candidacy for the New York State Senate in Albany. Wilson won his race in 1962 and went on to serve three terms in the New York State Senate.
Wilson was a member of what was called the Reform Movement in New York City in the 1960's. The leaders of the Reform Democratic movement were three notable national Democrats: Eleanor Roosevelt, former New York State Governor Herbert Lehman and former Secretary of the U.S. Air Force, Thomas Finletter. The purpose of this group was to defeat Tammany Hall, Democratic Party officeholders (the so-called "bosses"), and replace them with Reform Democrats.
On the West Side of Manhattan, the Reform Democrats had already beaten Tammany Hall candidates in the 1960 elections, electing a U.S. Congressman and a New York State Senator. Wilson's election as a State Senator on the Manhattan East Side in 1962 would be yet another victory for the Reform Democrats. In addition to electing public officials, the Reform Democrats had set up Reform Democratic clubs on both on the West Side and the East Side of Manhattan. At the time of his election to the New York State Senate, Wilson was the President of the Yorkville Democratic Club, a Reform Democratic club located on East 79th Street in Manhattan.
Wilson's most significant accomplishment during his service in the New York State legislature was to lead the fight to reform the state's 179-year-old divorce law. New York's divorce law up until 1966 had only one ground for divorce, which was for adultery. There was not even a ground for extreme physical cruelty. Through his efforts, as Chairman of the Joint Legislative Committee and Family Law, Wilson exposed the inadequacy of the one-ground divorce law, and, as a result, the New York State legislature adopted new grounds for physical and mental cruelty, among other humane grounds for divorce.

Essex Transfer Station and Recycling Center Procedures Starting October
September 8, 2014 by Jerome Wilson
Pitching in the garbage with feeling
The Town of Essex's Transfer Station and Recycling Center, which is located a 5 Dump Road in Essex, will adopt new use procedures, effective October 1, 2014. From that date forward, users of the transfer station must either have: 1) a valid official sticker affixed to the windshield of their vehicle, or 2) a pre-paid punch card in hand, before disposing of household garbage and trash at the Essex town transfer station.
Use of the transfer station is limited, exclusively, to the residents of Essex, Centerbrook and Ivoryton. The transfer station is located in Essex at 5 Dump Road off Route 154. It is also just off Exit 4 of Route 9. The hours of operation at the facility are Monday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
Windshield stickers permitting a year's unlimited access to the transfer station can only be purchased at the Town Clerk's office at the Town Hall in downtown Essex. The cost of a one year permit is $125, and $75 for seniors. They can be paid for by cash or check, but not by credit card. The Town Clerk will also sell 10 bag punch cards for $25 a card.
In the addition, the transfer station at 5 Dump Road will sell 10 bag punch cards. which can be paid for by check, credit or debit card, but not by cash.
Supplemental Disposal Fees
Effective October 1, there will also be additional Supplemental Disposal Fees for users of the transfer station. The supplemental fees, which will be collected at the transfer station, will range in price from $5 for the disposal of an old tire, to $20 for the disposal of sleeping furniture. However, there will be no extra Supplemental Disposal Fees for many items, such as antifreeze, computers, leaves or paint.
Payment of Annual Stickers and Punch Cards Online
Essex residents can download the Transfer Station's Resident Pass Application form by going to the Essex town website at www.essexct,gov. The form on the website is listed under "News & Announcements." Also available on the Town of Essex Transfer Station & Recycling Center website is a complete roster of Supplemental Waste Disposal fees, effective October 1.
A benefit when purchasing an annual user sticker before October 1, 2014 is that purchasers can begin using the annual stickers immediately, thus giving them some days free of fees before the October 1, 2014, the effective date of the new windshield stickers and punch cards.
In announcing its new waste disposal rules Essex residents were reminded that the annual stickers and punch cards only allow the disposal of household garbage and trash. Information regarding other accepted disposal items can be found in the transfer station's brochure, which is available at the transfer station, and on its website.
The Betty Pierson Recycling Building
Another service at the Essex transfer station is a recycling center that offers reusable items that Essex residents are offering without charge to their neighbors. Items such as wooden furniture, household items and bicycles in good condition may be left for the use of fellow Essex residents at the center. The items are for personal use only.
Essex residents who wish to pick up these items are restricted to one trip a week to the Betty Pierson Recycling shed. No loitering at the building is permitted, and the staff at the transfer station will enforce these policies.
Essex Land Trust Seeks to Raise Funds for The Preserve
Jim Denham, President of the Essex Land Trust
In a recent letter to its members, Jim Denham, President of the Essex Land Trust, writes, "The Essex Land Trust is an active partner in the campaign to purchase and protect the 1,000 acre forest known as The Preserve. Over the past months, we have been working with a number of organizations to identify the $10 million in funding needed to make this project a reality."
Noting that Essex land is a part of The Preserve, Denham writes, "The 70-acre Essex gateway to The Preserve is located off Ingham Hill Road. It will be owned and stewarded by the Essex Land Trust. It is part of a unique property representing the largest remaining, contiguous costal forest between New York City and Boston."
Visiting the Essex Part of The Preserve
Visitors wishing to take a look at Essex's 70-acre part of The Preserve can do so by driving down Route 153 from Essex towards Westbrook. Take a left off Route 153 on to Ingham Hill Road. Drive down Ingham Hill road until the road ends at a gated fence. To the left of the fence, and looking over the fence, are portions of the Essex part of The Preserve.
In his letter Denham continues, "Three rivers find their headwaters in The Preserve; they are important contributors in our region's water aquifer. The Preserve's un-fragmented oak woodland and swamps offer nesting habitats for birds of conservation concern and is an important stop over for migrant species. Freshwater pools are home to amphibians while Bobcats and Fisher cats also have been spotted."
Fresh water pools in The Preserve
Denham observes, "With support from Essex and Old Saybrook voters, the Governor and our legislator, approximately $6.5 million of the $7 million public funding target has been committed, and the remainder is in process. We have achieved over $1.6 million of a targeted $3 million in private funding from committed land trust members and conservationists. We are working hard to secure the remaining $1.4 million."
Forest Trail in Essex's Part of the Preserve
Denham concludes his plea for contributions to The Preserves acquisition. "To help reach our goal an anonymous donor has pledged to match the first $20,000 committed between now and September 15th. This is your opportunity to be a part of this historic effort. I hope you will join in."
Pettipaug Yacht Club Ends Sailing Season with Just a Whisper of Wind
August 21, 2014 by Jerome Wilson
Paul Risseeuw stands next to the banner that marked the recent Junior Sailing Regatta at the Pettipaug Yacht Club
Over 40 small sailboats competed in the "Paul Risseeuw Junior Sailing Regatta," which was held in the waters off the Pettipaug Yacht Club on August 17. There was only one thing that made things difficult at the regatta, there was very little wind.
Even so there were winners in the three, slow, slow races. The four kinds of boats that were sailed in the regatta were: 420s, Optimists, Lasers, and Blue Jays. The winners by the boats, in which they sailed, are as follows.
420s – Winners: Libby Ryan and Megan Ryan of the Pettipaug Yacht Club.
Optimists -Winners:
White fleet: Nick Hughes of Guilford
Blue fleet: Chris Annino of Ram Island Yacht Club
Red fleet: Stewart Gurnell of the Wickford Yacht Club, Rhode Island
Lasers – Winner: Jack Hogan, Watch Hill Yacht Club, Rhode Island
Blue Jays – Winners: Ryan Shasha and Freddie Kerr of the Pettipaug Yacht Club
This annual race at the Pettipaug Yacht Club, the last of the races in sailing season, is named after Paul Risseeuw, who is the Director of the Pettipaug Sailing Academy, among a host of other activities at the club.
Essex Island Marina Sells for $3,465,000; Higher Price than Some Expected
August 8, 2014 by Jerome Wilson
The welcoming building at the Essex Island Marina
One of the prospective bidders said before the auction took place that he had decided not to bid, "because of possible environmental problems that a purchaser might have to address." Also, this naysayer said that there was a rumor that Jack Brewer tried to buy the property before the auction took place, but that his offer had not been not accepted by the owner.
Typical luxury yacht found at Essex Island Marina
Since there was no mutually agreed upon sale of the property before the auction date of August 5, the formal Absolute Auction of the Essex Island Marina was ready to go. The auction began shortly after eleven o'clock on Tuesday, August 5, and there was an interested crowd of some 100 people in attendance, all seated under a large tent on the grounds of the Essex Island Marina. Most of those in attendance were interested spectators, but at least 20 in the crowd were serious bidders, who came prepared with $75,000 deposit in-hand.
The crowd that attended the JJManning's "Absolute Auction" of the Essex Island Marina
The interest in the property by these serious bidders was understandable, since what was being auctioned off was one of the premium marinas along the entire Eastern Seaboard of the United States.
The auction itself was conducted by Justin J. Manning, who is the President and CEO of JJManning Auctioneers, which is headquartered in Yarmouth Port, Massachusetts. Manning began the auction with the friendly query, "Did anyone come by boat today?" However, it turned out that no one had, so he got down to the business at hand.
The "Manning" Style of Running an Auction
Manning's style in conducting the auction of the Essex Island Marina was to engage in a continuous line of chatter. He would only pause to accept a bid of a certain amount. Then, immediately after accepting this bid, he would ask for a higher one. Generally, the higher amount that he called for, was in the $50,000 range.
Justin Manning, who conducted the recent "Absolute Auction"
at the Essex Island Marina
The only time Manning paused in his continuous line of chatter of accepting and asking for new higher bids, was to permit a bidder to stop the auction for 30 seconds, so that the he or she could speak with an attorney or money source on the telephone. Once the thirty seconds was up, Manning immediately continued his auction patter.
In his introduction before the formal bidding began, Manning noted that his family has been in the auctioning business since 1976. As for the mindset of the present owner of the Essex Island Marina, Manning said, "He's done, he wants to retire, and get out of the marina business."
Also, before the auction began Manning read out loud a detailed description of the property being auctioned. He also said that prospective bidders had been given confidential information about the property that was not available to the general public.
Manning explained that the winner of the auction would have to pay a 10% Buyer's Premium on top of the highest bid, to arrive at the total purchase price, and the final closing of the sale would take place on or before September 18.
In his remarks before the auction began, Manning stressed that the property was being sold "as is," In addition, he said the boats presently with slips at the marina for the season would not have their leases cancelled. Manning also noted before the auction that there were 35 slip owners, presently at the marina, who wanted to turn the marina into a private yacht club condominium. However, this prospect faded quickly, when the actual bidding began.
The sale at auction included all the real estate of the marina, Manning said, and the equipment listed in the P&S.
The "Absolute Auction" Begins
At the auction itself, Manning first asked for a bid of $5 million for the property. No one responded, so he slipped down to asking for $2.5 million. There was still no response. Finally, the bidding opened at $400,000, then $1.2 million, $2 million, $2.3 million, $2.4 million, $2.5 million, $2.6 million, $2.65 million, and then before you knew it the bidding had climbed to well above $3 million, until it reached the final auction price. Manning exhorted the bidding to continue, but to no avail. After a further pause, he proclaimed the winner of the auction, who was none other than Jack Brewer.
The actual bidding in the auction took no more than forty minutes. Also, worth noting was that the auctioneer Justin Manning wore a stylish, dark blue suit, with a tastefully appropriate shirt and tie. Clearly, this was no "blue collar "country auction, where the auctioneer pauses from time, to time to spit from the tobacco he has been chewing.
When it was all over a number of guests at that auction stayed around to compare notes. It was a general consensus that Jack Brewer could have paid less for the marina, if he had been able to strike a deal with the marina owner before the actual auction took place. JJ Manning proved to be a master in running up the price to over $3 million.
Jack Brewer Now Owns 29 Marinas
Nevertheless, even though Brewer may have paid somewhat more than what was anticipated, in the view of one the visitors at the auction, he has purchased a property that will be the flagship of what is now his 29 Brewer marinas. Also, since he already owns two marinas in Essex Harbor he has a clear monopoly on rental slips there.
The former owner of the Essex Island Marina, Wally Schieferdecker said, when the auction was all over, "I'm not happy, I'm not sad, and I am glad it is over." The Schieferdecker family had owned and operated the marina for 56 years.
The Marvel That Is the Pettipaug Sailing Academy, and its Director Paul Risseeuw
Getting the boats ready to launch with Junior Instructors helping out
Since the year 2007 one man has been in charge of teaching young people, ages 8 to 16, the art of sailing. That man is Paul Risseeuw of Essex, the Director of the Pettipaug Sailing Academy. Organizationally, Risseeuw reports to the Chairman of the Pettipaug Sailing Academy, David Courcy.
Assisting Risseeuw, as the chief administrator of the Pettipaug Sailing Academy, are seven senior sailing instructors and seven junior sailing instructors. Many of the instructors are themselves graduates of the Academy.
The Petttipaug Sailing Academy has two teaching sessions each summer, each lasting three weeks. This year the first session of the Academy was from June 30 to July 22, and the second session, that is presently underway, began on July 24 and ends on August 15. Both sessions at the Academy have three-hour morning classes and three-hour afternoon classes.
Young sailors launch their sailboats into the Connecticut River
The morning classes at the Academy are designed for younger sailors, ages 8, 9, 10 and 11 years old. Afternoon classes, which are more advanced, teach sailing to young adults, ages 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16.
These age assignments are not rigid. A young sailor of 10, who can sail like a 14 year old, could find him or herself assigned to the more advanced afternoon classes. On the other hand a totally inexperienced sailor of 13, might find him or herself assigned to the morning classes with other beginning sailors.
Tuition for attending each of the sessions at the Pettipaug Sailing Academy is $400. In many cases students are enrolled in both teaching sessions of the Academy, which costs $700.
Counting the Sailors at the Sailing Academy
The first teaching session at the Academy this year had 91 student sailorss. The second session, presently underway, and pictured in the attached photos, has 93 students. This adds up to 145 different students learning to sail at the Academy this summer.
Learning to sail at the Pettipaug Sailing Academy is very much an on-the water affair, and there are only a limited number of lessons on land. The sailboats used at the Academy are: Optimist dinghies, 420 class sailboats and Blue Jays.
Academy students, when sailing, are on their own. However, instructors in motorboats weave between the sailboats, and rescue student sailors, when their boats capsize. At the end of their sailing courses students are given ranks for sailing proficiency. From the bottom up the ranks are: Seaman, Seaman First Class, Second Mate, First Mate, Bos'n, Skipper and Racing Skipper.
There will be a single graduation ceremony for the two teaching sessions on August 15. The day before graduation, all of the students from both sessions will sail down river to Nott Island for a picnic. It is always an exciting conclusion to the Academy's premier sailing program.
What could be better than this, a gentle wind and a happy crew
Other Sailing Programs at the Pettipaug Yacht Club
Besides the Sailing Academy there are a host of other sailing programs at the Pettipaug Yacht Club, and there is a powerboat course as well. The first event in the club's sailing season is the High School Sailing program, which is held in the month of March. Racing teams from three nearby high schools compete: Valley Regional High School in Deep River, Daniel Hand High School in Madison, and Xavier High School in Middletown.
The teams from "Valley and Daniel Hand" use 14 sailboats owned by the Pettipaug Yacht Club. Xavier has 12 sailboats of its own for their team. For students wanting to participate in these races there is one requirement. They must be members of the Pettipaug Yacht Club, which costs $15 a year.
Next on the sailing schedule at Pettipaug is a five day Racing Clinic, which is held from June 23 to June 27. 16 students took the course this year, and instructors Travis Carlisle and Maria Keogh taught the course. The tuition was $200.
Next on the schedule was a two-day, Windsurfer Course on June 26-27. Tuition was free, and the course instructor was Ned Crossley, a retired gymnastic coach at West Point.
In addition, there is a schedule of Powerboat Courses during the boating season. Remaining dates for the full day course are: August 18, 19, 20, 21; and September 6. The course is taught by Paul Risseeuw and three other powerboat instructors. The tuition is $180. Pettipaug Yacht Club motor boats are used for the course.
Without question the central figure behind all of the Pettipaug Sailing Academy's "on the water" activities is Paul Risseeuw. With the young people from the ages of 8 to 16 who attend the sailing classes, Risseeuw is the epitome of courtesy and understanding.
Pettipaug Sailing Director Paul Risseeuw provides assistance when necessary
Most likely, Risseeuw's students, past and present, will never forget how to sail. Nor will they forget who thought them how to do it..
Beautiful New Tennis Courts Open in Essex, Part of a Civic Campus Enhancement Project
July 28, 2014 by Jerome Wilson
Tennis playing couple Julie Burdelski and Alex Bell of Essex on new Essex courts
The Town of Essex has two brand new tennis courts, and they are a beauty. The new courts opened officially on July 24 of this year, and they have been well used ever since the day they opened. The new courts are surrounded by a "see through" wire fence, and according to a ranking Essex town official, the new courts were, "Completely rebuilt from below the ground up."
Building the new courts meant the total excavation of the subsurface of the old courts. Furthermore, in installing the new courts, the very best equipment and materials were used from top to bottom. Also, a new interior drainage system was installed with the new courts. The total cost of the town's new courts was within the $100,000 original budget allocation, however the new court fencing was funded by the Park & Recreation Sinking Fund.
In addition the new courts have new lighting for night play, costing over $10,000, which paid for by a private donor.
As for the expected life of the new courts, a town official said that, "Asphalt does crack in time." However, his estimate is that the new courts could have a life span of as much as 15+ years. Throughout this new courts building process this town official stated, "We tried to use the very best materials."
Tennis Courts Are Part of a New Town Enhancement
The new tennis courts are a component of what is called a, "Civic Campus Enhancement Project," for the Town of Essex. A state grant of $472,000 funded the majority of the project. In addition to the new tennis courts, the town enhancement project includes a new and already heavily used children's playground, and a completely resurfaced Town Hall parking lot with new curbing throughout.
Enjoying new playground equipment in Essex
The new playground and the new parking lot were completed for use in December of 2013. Another component of the project was new crosswalks from the town hall parking lot to the Essex Library, which is just across Grove Street from town hall.
The official grand opening of the entire Essex town enhancement project is slated for September 10, 2014. A ribbon cutting ceremony will be held at 5:00pm, followed by a showcase of the playground and tennis courts from 5:30-6:30pm.
Blumenthal Urges "Yes" Vote for $3 Million Towards Purchase of 'The Preserve'
July 7, 2014 by Jerome Wilson
U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal at July 7 rally for a "yes vote" at July 8 referendum
U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal came to the Old Saybrook Green on Monday, July 7, to urge Old Saybrook voters to vote "Yes" in a referendum to grant $3 million of town monies to help purchase 930 undeveloped acres in the open land known as The Preserve. The referendum for Old Saybrook voters will be held on Tuesday, July 8, at the Old Saybrook High School gymnasium, and the polls will be open from noon to 8 p.m.
Other public officials urging a "Yes" vote on the July 8 town referendum were: Old Saybrook First Selectman Carl Fortuna, State Representative Phil Miller; and Essex First Selectman Norman Needleman.
Old Saybrook First Selectman Fortuna said in his prepared remarks, "This property has been at the center of attention, good and bad, for 20 years. It is now time for resolution. We are optimistic that enough private and public funds can be raised to purchase the property and preserve The Preserve in its natural state. The Town will work cooperatively with all parties in this effort, including DEEP. Most importantly, I will work for and listen to Old Saybrook's residents as they decide the future of this parcel."
State Representative Miller said in his prepared remarks, "We're grateful to the citizens of Old Saybrook, Essex and Westbrook, and our allies, the Trust for Public Land, Connecticut Fund for the Environment, Governor Malloy, Senators Blumenthal and Murphy, Congressman Courtney, First Selectmen Fortuna and Needleman and the Connecticut legislature. A thousand acres forever preserved. What a rightful thing."
Essex First Selectman Urges "Yes Vote"
Essex First Selectman Norman Needleman said in his prepared remarks, "Over in Essex, we're excited about the proposition for acquiring this majestic property. Essex will hold a public hearing and town meeting to approve a $200,000 appropriation for the purchase on July 16 and look forward to joining our neighbors in Old Saybrook in support of this wonderful project."
The Essex town meeting to consider approval of the town's $200,000 appropriation to The Preserve's acquisition will be held at 6:45 p.m. on July 16 at Essex Town Hall.
Senator Blumenthal takes time to chat with Democratic State Senate candidate, Emily Bjornberg, at referendum rally
Other Supporters of Acquisition
Other remarks for the occasion were offered by Chris Cryder, Special Projects Coordinator of the Connecticut Fund for the Environment, who said, "Coming off July Fourth weekend, this is an exciting time for Old Saybrook to exercise their patriotic rights and vote to protect this important piece of land here in town."
Also, Alicia Sullivan, Connecticut State Director of the Trust for Public Land said, "We commend Governor Malloy and the General Assembly for the state's early funding commitment to this significant landscape. Also, we are grateful to Senator Blumenthal and our congressional delegation for supporting federal conservation programs that the state will use for this acquisition."
An audience of some 30 to 40 persons attended the pre-vote July 7 rally.

Essex Island Marina to be Sold to the Highest Bidder at Auction on Tuesday, August 5
June 20, 2014 by Jerome Wilson

One of the land marks of the Town of Essex, the Essex Island Marina, will be sold at auction on Tuesday, August 5. The auction will be held at the Essex Island Marina, which is located on its very own island, and which has the address of 11 Ferry Street in Essex. The auction will start at 11:00 a.m.
The Essex Island Marina will be sold at what is called an "Absolute Auction." This means that the marina will be sold to the winning bidder, regardless of the price, as long as it is over $75,000.
A representative of JJ Manning, the company which is conducting the auction, was asked if this is not a dangerous strategy to open with such a low price. The representative said that in the long run, "having a low, opening price frequently attracts the highest sales price for the property."
The Essex Island Marina's property consists of 13.2 plus, acres on a private island on the Connecticut River. The site has 125 boat slips, a gas dock, a repair shop, a laundry, a swimming pool, a dog walk, and inside and outside boat storage facilities. There is also a restaurant on the site. In addition, the sale includes the boats used to take passengers to and from the island, and miscellaneous equipment and leases.
Property Tour on July 22

There will be a tour of the site for prospective bidders on Tuesday, July 22 from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Terms for the winning big include: payment of a 10% certified deposit of the winning bid, due within three business days of auction, and payment of the full price of the bid, 45 days after the close of the auction.
JJ Manning, conductor of the auction, bills itself as, "the leading professional auction marketing firm in the Northeast U.S." The company is headquartered in Yarmouth Port, Massachusetts.
Marina Is Presently Family Owned
The present owner of the Essex Island Marina is Wallie Schieferdecker, who lives in Essex. Schieferdecker operates the marina with the assistance of his two daughters, Dawn and Kyle.
Paul Risseeu, the Director of the Pettipaug Sailing Academy in Essex, and who occasionally operates the ferry from the main land to the Essex Island Marina, says that the Essex Island Marina, "is a class operation." Risseuw also observes that, "the yacht business has been tough lately, because people are moving to owning smaller boats." Also, "it is part of the five year recession in the country," he says.
Editor's Note: Justin J. Manning, President of the Auctioneer Firm J.J. Manning, has provided the following clarification of the auction process: "The auction is Absolute, which means that it sells to the highest bidder, period. The $75,000 is merely the initial deposit made by the buyer on auction day, not the starting bid. This Marina appraised 14 years ago for $1.23 million and would likely appraise today for well over $2 million. The real estate tax appraisal in $1.53 million."
Popular Jenny Tripp to Retire as Programming Librarian at the Essex Library
Departing Program Librarian Jenny Tripp and Chief Librarian Richard Conroy
After nine years of creating some of the most interesting adult programs on the Connecticut shoreline, the Essex Library's Programming Librarian, Jenny Tripp, is be retiring from her position effective July 1. During her service at the library Tripp has been the creator of many of the library's most popular programs.
They include, the "Science for Everyone" series, which included talks on the "Mars Rover," the concept of "Time Travel," and a program on the similarities of the actions of human beings and monkeys. As Tripp puts it, "Each of the species [human and monkey] seem to be hard wired to make the same mistakes repeatedly."
Another popular library program that Tripp created is the "True Crime" series." This series featured discussions of "cold cases," an examination of the murder trial of Martha Moxley, and a lecture by Dr. Henry Lee, a noted forensic pathologist, who has reviewed hundreds of cases of foul deeds.
Created Popular Bereavement Group
Another significant accomplishment of Tripp has been her creation of a Bereavement Support Group, which meets twice a month, and which she characterizes as "the program of which I'm most proud." Roughly a dozen of evolving library patrons attend the sessions of the open group, based on personal need.
Another activity of Tripp has been chairing two of the library's book clubs. One of the clubs is the Classic Plays Readers Club, which has exhaustively discussed Shakespeare's plays, and other classic works as well. The next play to be discussed is Tennessee William's The Glass Menagerie.
Tripp's second book club, the Classic Readers Group, has tackled tomes as diverse as The Magic Mountain and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. The current selection of the club is The Red and the Black by Stendhal. As if this was not enough, Tripp has also hosts a memoir writing group at the library.
In addition to these activities Tripp has been the editor of the library's Ex Libris, the Library's twice-yearly mailed newsletter. When asked about her, likely impossible to find, replacement, Tripp says dismissively that "You really don't need a trained librarian to do this, just someone with some imagination who is prepared to make a lot of phone calls."
For all her reputation as the "go to" person on perhaps every aspect of the library, Tripp has been actually a part time employee working only 24 hours a week. As for her own personal background, Tripp was an English major at the University of California (Berkley). She has also worked extensively as a screen writer, and is a lifetime member of the Writer's Guild of America.
On a personal note about her work at the Essex Library, she says, "I have never held a job this long."
Library Director Lauds Tripp
Essex Library Director Richard Conroy was fulsome in his praise of Tripp's work at the library. He said, "She has been one of the key factors in the success of the library this past few years," He noted that library attendance is up, and that there has been an upgrade as well in the quality of the library's services.
Conroy especially praised Tripp's, "intellectually stimulating programs," singling out the True Crime series, the Science for Everyone series, and her Shakespeare and Classic Book clubs as well. "How do we replace the irreplaceable?" he concluded.
As for her future plans, in addition to helping out at the Essex library from time to time, Tripp says that she is going to engage, "in helping people to write their books." Asked if this this means she is going to be a professional "ghost writer," her answer is, "Just call me Casper."
Beloved Exercise Instructor Says Goodbye to the "Y"
June 3, 2014 by Jerome Wilson
Exercise instructor Lisa Laing receives applause from her students
The Valley Shore YMCA, located on Spencer Plains Road in Westbrook, is losing its number one exercise instructor. She is Lisa Laing, better known, simply as "Lisa" by her many friends and admirers. Lisa, who lives in Ivoryton, has been teaching four straight, one hour sessions, of advanced exercise classes, three days a week, at the Y since 1993. Her last day of teaching these exercise classes at the Y was on Thursday, May 29.
Exercise students, with Lisa, balancing for strength
Central to Lisa's exercise philosophy has been that she wanted every one of her students to do the best that they possibly could with each of the exercises. Also, while her students were doing their exercises, she, herself, did them as well. This meant that when an exercise called for balancing on one leg, Lisa balanced on one leg; when the exercise called for going down on the mat, Lisa too went down on the map; and when the exercise called for rolling over, Lisa, herself, rolled her body over as well,
In addition to doing each exercise with her students, Lisa at the same time called out instructions, no matter how contorted her own body at that particular moment. Worth noting as well, her exercise sessions were non-stop, one exercise after another, unrelenting.
Strolling to the next exercise
Furthermore, Lisa not only taught a one hour exercise class at nine o'clock, she taught another at ten o'clock, yet another at eleven o'clock, and finally another at noon. This meant that she was teaching and exercising for four hours straight. Nor did she skimp in doing all the exercises herself with her students. Three days a week, Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, this was her schedule. The stamina, the refusal to admit fatigue, and to just keep going at each session, almost defies imagination. How did she ever do this crushing schedule for so long?
It was no wonder that her students held a party for her to show their appreciation in the final days of this schedule at the Y. No less than 150 people attended to party to play tribute to Lisa. "I was stunned and honored" by the turnout, she said modestly.
Getting up the heart beat by walking sideways
At her last exercise session on May 29 a number of her students were asked what they thought about Lisa. This is what they said:
Ann Bates of Essex, "She affords an inspirational opportunity to be physically fit. Also, she knows how to modify the exercises so that everyone is on board."
Michelle Davis of Old Lyme, "I think it is a wonderful testament to her. She has brought me a long way."
Norma Rogin of Essex, "She is the best,"
Janet Fay of Westbrook, "She has been an inspiration to us.
Fred Scribner of Old Saybrook, who was one of the few males in the exercise sessions, "Lisa has kept me alive, keeping my heart and other organs functioning."
Ursula Wilson of Essex, "She is extremely energetic, and she is fun to exercise with."
They call these "planks." A lot of fun? Not!
Lisa's Unique Insights about Exercise
"What I have seen," Lisa says, "is that many people are 'scared,' when they first consider exercising." It seems that, "they are almost afraid of breaking something." However, others approach exercising as "something new and exciting," she says. Also, she points out, when someone is new to exercising, "We are very conscious of their safety, and of working at a person's own level."
Lisa calls out the orders, while she herself is exercising
Lisa says that one of her teaching secrets is that, "I am great about asking people's names." Also, she also loves, "to see the growth and new vitality by people who once were self-professed couch potatoes." She continues, "I love to witness peoples' little 'ah' moment, when they realize that they have accomplished something," by exercising.
She observes, "I am a nut about form, and about people doing things correctly. When you do something properly, you don't get hurt." She also says that she has witnessed cases where n "people could barely walk [and] five or ten years later they were dancing to the music. They worked so hard."
Also, in teaching exercising Lis says, "I count my success in hugs, and I give a lot of hugs."
Not Totally Leaving the Y
Lisa says that although she will no longer be teaching a full schedule of exercise classes at the Y, she will continue to help lead the Y's "Hope Is Power," a program for cancer survivors. This wellness group meets two times a week with one hour and a half sessions. Lisa, herself, is a certified Cancer Exercise Specialist, and she co-leads the program with fellow instructor, Linda Lawton.
After taking the full summer off, Lisa says that next fall she will be exploring new opportunities, especially in the area of helping people continue their fitness programs. "Fitness is about community," she says, "and it makes me happy to serve the community." As for her future, she says, "I want to work with adults, so they can continue having healthy lives."

Finally the unoccupied property on North Main Street has been demolished. Early in the morning of Tuesday, May 27, a work crew from Shea Construction brought heavy equipment to the site, and methodically demolished the property and removed the debris, leaving a hole in the ground where there once was a slum. Read the full story: Eyesore No More, Essex Slum House Is Taken Down.
Eyesore No More, Essex Slum House Is Taken Down
A bulldozer claws away at the old slum house
It was a day of celebration in small town Essex. Finally, finally the town's number eyesore was coming down. Early in the morning of Tuesday, May 27, a work crew from Shea Construction, which is headquartered on Westbrook Road in Essex, brought heavy equipment to the site, and methodically smashed the old slum house to the ground.
The pile of debris gets larger
The crushed fragments were then loaded into a waiting dump truck, which took the debris to a local land fill. Joseph Shea, Owner of Shea Construction, was personally on hand to supervise the operation. "We will completely finish the job," he said, including filling the hole left in the ground by the house's removal with fresh clean land fill. Also, the work entails not only crushing and removing the entire building structure but also removing the old house's septic system. This full process should take a week, Shea said. In addition, once the house has been removed, "All of the nails will be pulled out of the boards," he said, as an environmental measure.
The trip to the dump is next
Among the spectators watching the destruction proceedings from the side walk was Tom Rutherford, who lives on nearby Laurel Hill Road in Essex, "We all have been ready for this to happen for a long time," he said." Rutherford also expressed his and the town's gratitude to fellow Essex resident Ina Bomze, who paid $142,000 to purchase the property of the old slum house from the bank, and hired the contractor to clear the site. She will also fund the conversion of the property into a new town park. "I think it is wonderful thing that she has done," Rutherford said, referring to Ms. Bronze.
A central feature of the new park will be a solid bronze statue of Ms. Bromze's late canine companion, "Morgana", which she always refers to as a person. Also, the street address of the new park is 63 North Main Street, and Ms. Bromze, lives just across the street at 64 North Main Street. Once the new park is completed she will be able not only to see the new park, but also the memorial statue of "Morgana" from her front windows.
The Essex Land Trust has agreed to maintain the park in the future with its memorial statute to a beloved companion in full display.
Essex Eyesore to be Demolished on May 27
Abandonned "Slum House" at 63 North Main Street in Essex
Essex's number one eyesore, the abandoned property at the corner of North Main Street and New City Street at 63 North Main Street, will be torn down on May 27. This is the promise of Ina Bromze, who purchased the property from the bank last April for $142,000.
According to Ms. Bromze, the highlight of the new park on the site will be a bronze statue of her beloved dog, "Morgana." Morgana died last year, but when she was alive she and her mistress were a frequent sight walking around Essex.
Ms. Bronze still takes her walks around Essex, but now she walks alone.
When a Probate Judge Can Give a Person a Helping Hand
Judge of Probate Terrance Lomme.
Let's take an all too common case along the shoreline. Grandmother has been a widow for several years now, and gradually, gradually, the ordinary chores of keeping a banking account, paying bills, and having her finances in order, has become too much for her.
In such a case grandma herself can go before a local Probate Judge and request the appointment of a Conservator to keep her books and pay her expenses. The person to be appointed could be a relative, or a trusted friend of the person seeking the court's appointment of a Conservator.
It is not necessary to go to the expense of hiring a lawyer in a case such as this. Rather, if the person needing help has a person that they want to handle their affairs, they simply have to go before the Probate Judge, and get the judge's approval for the appointment.
The Old Saybrook District Probate Court
Our local Probate Judge is Terrance Lomme, and he is based in Old Saybrook. His probate district includes the towns of Chester, Clinton, Deep River, Essex, Haddam, Killingworth, Lyme, Old Saybrook and Westbrook.
Lomme's offices are on the second floor of the Old Saybrook Town Hall, and the Court's telephone number is 860-510-5028.
There are of course other cases, which are far more complicated, and they may require a private attorney's services.
The Different Kinds of Conservators
The simple case mentioned above involves a "Voluntary Conservator" appointment. There are also "Involuntary Conservator" appointments, which require, among other things, a doctor's report stating that the appointment of a Conservator is a medical necessity.
"Involuntary Conservator" appointments are the most common kind of Conservator arrangement, and before they are approved, there must be a formal hearing before the Probate Judge. Also, this kind of Conservatorship will only be granted, if there is clear and convincing evidence presented at a hearing that a Conservator's involvement is necessary. There is also a statutory appeals procedure for Involuntary Conservator appointments.
Another type of appointment of a Conservator are those just for a limited period time, such as thirty days. When the temporary appointment time limit expires, the affected person resumes making his or her own decisions.
Making things even more complicated, a Conservator can also be appointed for the Conservatorship of an "estate," meaning essentially, control over tangible assets, and not over a person. Banks can be appointed as a Conservator for an estate but not for a person. Also, hospitals and nursing homes are not allowed to be appointed either for a person or for an estate.
Periodic accountings are also required of a Conservator of Estate, and the posting of a bond is customary. As for Conservators concerning persons, they must get court approval before placing the subject person in a long term care institution, a change of residence, the selling of household furnishings, selling or transferring real estate, investing the subject person's funds, and placing the person in psychiatric care.
A Conservator of Estate can be terminated if the funds therein are below $1,600. It can also be terminated if the person under a Conservator arrangement is now capable of managing his or her own affairs. A conserved person has a right to request restoration, and a court must hear this request within 30 days. Furthermore, if a conserved person cannot obtain an attorney, one will be appointed for him or her in these situations.
Conservatorships Program at Essex Library
A program is scheduled Tuesday, May 13 at 6:30 p.m. at the Essex Library, which is the second in a series on what you need to know about probate, and will focus on the law and procedures of Conservators as part of ageing and estate planning. It will be hosted by Probate Judge Terrance Lomme, and the public is invited to attend and ask questions.
A Smooth Transition from Essex to Westbrook for Middlesex Hospital
Exterior of new Emergency Whelen Pavilion in Westbrook
On Monday morning, April 28, Middlesex Hospital quietly closed its doors to medical patients at its long-term Shoreline Medical Center in Essex, and at the same time, opened its doors to new patients at its new Shoreline Medical Center in Westbrook. The new Middlesex Hospital Shoreline Medical Center is located at 250 Flat Rock Place, Westbrook, just off of Interstate 95 at Exit 65 and neighbors to the Tanger Outlets.
Closed down Middlesex Hospital Shoreline Medical Center in Essex
There were a multitude of road signs posted, announcing that the Shoreline Medical Center in Essex was moving to Westbrook. The move was also widely covered in the media. The new facility opened its doors at 7 a.m. with its first Emergency Department patient arriving at 7:01 a.m.
With 44,000 square feet the new Medical Center in Westbrook is double the size of the old medical center in Essex. In contrast to the building of the old Essex center, the new Medical Center in Westbrook has two, distinct entrances. They are: (1) The Whelen Emergency Pavilion – 24/7 emergency services with 24 acute care beds and (2) the Outpatient Center – two entrances, registration and waiting area.
The Whelen Emergency Pavilion offers patients true emergency care with its separate, covered entrance for up to five ambulatory vehicles, including a helipad to transport patients from the Emergency Department, and an "Express Care" designated to minor injuries or illness but still considered an emergency visit.
As for the Outpatient Center, it offers patients a wide range of medical services. They are: (1) Radiology Department, including the latest generation MRI, CT scanning, X-ray digital fluoroscopy and more, (2) Women's Imaging Center, including digital mammography, ultrasound and bone densitometry, (3) Laboratory for emergency and routine blood work, and (4) Infusion – a private area for receiving intravenous (IV) fluids.
Middlesex Hospital President and CEO On Hand
On hand for the first day of operation of the new Shoreline Medical Center was Middlesex Hospital's President and CEO, Vincent Capece. Regarding the move from Essex to the new facility, Capece said, "The transition to our new facility has been smooth, and there were no major glitches. This was the result of all the efforts of many employees in planning this transition."

Middlesex Hospital Holds Well Attended "Open House" at New Medical Center in Westbrook
Exterior of Emergency Center with helicopter coming in
Middlesex Hospital held a very successful preview of its new Shoreline Medical Center in Westbrook on Saturday, April 19. The new center is located off I-95 at Exit 65 and has a street address of 250 Flat Rock Place in Westbrook. The four-hour preview event on the 19th, which lasted from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., attracted a flood of visitors to the new 44,000 square foot medical facility.
The new medical center will open its doors for patients on Monday, April 28. Until then, Middlesex Hospital will continue to provide medical services at its present medical center in Essex. Once the new center opens in Westbrook, the Essex center will be closed down permanently. It should be noted that Middlesex Hospital has been providing emergency medical services at various locations in Essex since the 1970's.
Middlesex Hospital's new facility on Flat Rock Place in Westbrook is housed in a single long building, which is divided into two discrete sections. The section on the right, when facing the building coming off Flat Rock Road, houses the Emergency Center. The section on the left houses the Outpatient Center. There is a single walk-in entrance to the Emergency Center. There are two entrances to the Outpatient Center, one facing Flat Rock Place, and the other at the left side of the building.
The Emergency Center
The Emergency Department, named the "Whelen Emergency Pavilion," offers emergency medical treatment, for things such as a heart attack, or a crushed limb. Also, located at the Emergency Center is an "Express Care" treatment center, which offers treatment for injuries of a non-emergency nature, such as a sprained ankle, or for a minor cut.
Laurel Patt, Director, Radiology Services; Paula Howley, radiologic technologist; and Kim Carey, radiologic technologist
There is also a separate ambulance entrance to the Whelen Emergency Pavilion, with a helipad located just beyond the ambulance area. To give visitors a little extra excitement during the recent open house, the LifeStar helicopter made a special landing on the helipad and allowed visitors to explore it.
The Outpatient Center
The Outpatient Center is the section of the Medical Center which is to the left of the Emergency Center, when entering from Flat Rock Place. The Outpatient Center has two separate entrances, one at the front of the building, and another on the left side of the building. The services offered at the Outpatient Center are extensive. They include: a Radiology Department, which offers state-of-the-art imaging services, including the latest generation MRI, CT scanning, X-ray, digital fluoroscopy, among other services.
Interior of waiting area of the Outpatient Center
A Women's Imaging Center is also located in the Outpatient Center. It includes private spaces for digital mammography, ultrasound and bone density examinations. Also in the Outpatient Center has a new MRI unit, which features the most advanced imaging with a wider and shorter opening aperture.
In addition this is the location of the Medical Center's laboratory, which is accessible to outpatients and for emergency services. Finally, in the Outpatient Center there is an infusion section with a private area for receiving intravenous (IV) fluids.
On an artistic note there is also a Community Gallery featuring rotating works of art by professional, amateur and student artists. There is also an open area stone garden off the left end of the building.
Entertainments for the Day
At the recent Saturday open house, in addition to tours of the Emergency and Outpatient Centers, there were vehicles on display from the Westbrook and Essex Ambulance Associations, the Middlesex Hospital Paramedic service and neighboring commercial car dealers. Also, there were free blood pressure screenings offered to visitors, and a roving magician to entertain the young. In addition, Connecticut State Police officers distributed child fingerprint ID's, among other amusements for the young and old.

"Memorializing Morgan," Essex Woman Buys $142,000 Lot in Memory of Her Beloved Dog
Present condition of "Slum House" at 63 North Main Street in Essex
The treasure of Ina Sue Bomze's life has been her dog, "Morgan." Day in and day out, rain or shine, Ms. Bomze lovingly walked her "Morgan" around the Town of Essex. Then, not too long ago, suddenly and unexpectedly, Ms. Bomze's dog died. Ms. Bomze is still walking around Essex these days, but now she walks alone.
Ms. Bomze lives at 64 North Main Street, which is just across the street from a long vacant, dilapidated property that has been called by some the shame of Essex.
The address of this eyesore is 63 North Main Street, and it is at the corner of New City Street.
On January 25 of this year there was a formal auction of this property, and the winning bidder at the auction was Edmund Mormile of Madison. His winning bid was $142,000.
Essex Attorney Jeannine Wyszkowski who handled the sale
Because of questions about the property's septic system, among other problems, Mr. Mormile decided that he did not want to assume the ownership of the property that he had won at auction. In response, Essex Attorney Jeannine Wyszkowski petitioned the Middlesex Superior Court for a ruling to sanction the withdrawal of Mormile's rights of ownership to the property. While waiting for the matter to be heard, Mr. Mormile contractually assigned his right to purchase the property to Ina Sue Bomze of Essex.
On April 7 the court issued a decree permitting transfer of the property to Ms. Bomze, pending a formal closing and payment of $142,000.
That closing took place on April 11, and Ms. Bomze is now the owner of record of the property.
Ms. Bomze was not available for comment, however, the Essex attorney, Jeannine Wyszkowski, who has been handling this matter said, "I think that it is a charming conclusion for what had been an unfortunate problem for the home owners in the area, JP Morgan Chase bank and the residents of Essex. What a great solution,"Think about it!"
New Commuter Rail Station in Westbrook; a Big Plus for a Growing Shoreline Town
April 3, 2014 by Jerome Wilson
"Train Approaching" at Westbrook rail station
Westbrook First Selectman Noel Bishop can hardly contain his enthusiasm for the newly competed Westbrook railroad station. Costing $14.4 million dollars to build, the new station includes a new, two-story over the tracks building and 200 new parking spaces.
Passengers arriving at Westbrook station
The new, two story station is described by the Connecticut Department of Transportation as having, "canopy-covered, high-level-platforms on the north and south sides of the track and an 'up and over' system' with elevators for passengers to conveniently cross from one side of the tracks to the other."
New station building at Westbrook station
Continuing, "The platforms are the length of four rail cars; there is parking on both sides of the tracks, a commuter drop-off and bus pick up area, and a full audio and visual messaging system." Also, the new station, "is fully compliant with the American with Disabilities Act,"
The new Westbrook station, like the old station it replaced, is located just off Exit 65 of I-95. Also, the new station has a competitive advantage over the Old Saybrook train station, just up the line. All parking spaces at the Westbrook station are free. Parking at the Old Saybrook station can cost $10 a day in certain areas.
Commuters Applaud New Westbrook Station
Westbrook commuters are enthusiastic about the new Westbrook train station. In a recent interview, Colin Callahan of East Lyme said that he used to park at the Old Saybrook railroad station. Now, however, he is parking at the new station in Westbrook. "They did a wonderful job," he says about those who built the new station.
Plenty of parking spaces at Westbrook station
Equally enthusiastic about the new Westbrook rail station is John Frost, who goes by the name of "Jack." A resident of Essex, Frost said about the new station, "It has been a long time in coming, but it was well worth the wait."
Parking sign at Old Saybrook train station
Westbrook First Selectman Noel Bishop estimates that as many as fifty percent of the passengers using the Westbrook station presently come from towns other than Westbrook. This percentage of out of town use of the Westbrook station will grow in Bishop's view.
Westbrook First Selectman Noel Bishop with station design
"This will become a regional train station," Bishop predicts. "People are going to come to Westbrook," he says, "and this can't but help our town's economy." Also, the First Selectman makes the point that, "the new station could never have been built with town money," and that federal and state funds were involved. Bishop publicly thanked Daniel P. Malloy Governor, "for his commitment to public transportation."
The Advantages of the New Rail Station
The following is a list of the advantages of the new station, according to First Selectman Bishop: 1) the new station allows passengers to go over the tracks comfortably by an elevator and an attractive walkway, 2) passengers can stay dry under the station's new covered areas, 3) there is plenty of parking at the station, and 4) the station is just a three minutes away from Exit 65, off I-95.
Bishop went on to note with emphasis that for Westbrook, "geography is our destiny." Substantiating this assertion, he noted that within the town's boundaries there are the following major attractions.
1) two major car dealerships, Honda and Toyota, 2) the large Tanger Outlets mall with 60 brand name stores, as well as a movie theater, 3) the soon to be completed Middlesex Hospital emergency medical and outpatient center of 44,000 square feet, which can be expanded to 60,000 square feet, if necessary, 4) Brewer Pilots Point Marina, the area's largest marina which provides over 800 slips for boaters, 5) the Water's Edge, a premier resort and conference center on the New England Coast, 6) Westbrook's historic town center, which is a two minute walk from the trains station, and 7) the Westbrook Elks Club, which is directly on the waters of Long Island Sound.
First Selectman Bishop says the new railroad station, "is a dream come true." In fact, his excitement is so keen from the new station, it may give him an additional reason, why he comes to work every workday morning at 7:30 a.m.

New Hobby in Essex, the Keeping of Chickens
March 21, 2014 by Jerome Wilson
Dr. Michael J. Darre, Professor, Department of Animal Science, UCONN
Who would have thought it? Well, it's true, many residents of Essex, Connecticut, are now keeping chickens. The wide interest in this "feathery" hobby was evident at a recent program at the Essex Library. The program, which lasted well over two hours, was about just one thing, the care and feeding of backyard chickens.
The speaker at the program was Dr. Michael J. Darre, PhD, P.A.S., who is a Professor of Animal Sciences at the Department of Animal Science of the University of Connecticut. Darre invited those attending the program to contact him directly at any time, if they had any questions about raising chickens. He added that those persons attending the Library's program might find the "UCONN Poultry Pages" of particular interest.
In passing Dr. Darre's said that one of his own specialties was training chickens to stand still in chicken competitions. He also said that on the UCONN Poultry pages, there was information on where to purchase chickens.
It Takes a Lot of Skills to Raise Chickens
In addition to asserting that it takes a lot of skills to raise chickens, Dr. Darre said that in raising baby chickens to the point where they are laying eggs, required the adoption of what he called a "Food Safety Plan." He noted, ominously, that over 50,000 chickens die every year from fecal poisoning.
As regards egg production the professor said that when they are fully grown, five chickens can produce 3 to 5 eggs a day. He also said that when considering the cost of chicken feed and the construction of proper chicken housing, that from "a cost benefit analysis," no one saves money in the cost of eggs by raising their own chickens.
He said that that there are three types of chickens that can be raised in the backyard. They are:
1) Layer chickens, which are owned for producing eggs,
2) Meat type chickens, which are for eating, and
3) "Show bird" chickens, which are for chicken beauty contests.
He also noted that there are regular sized chickens, and "bantam," smaller chickens. Dr. Darre suggested that, "giving five 'live' chickens to another person would make a nice Easter gift."
Dr. Darre discussed the proper hormone supplements that are safe and nutritious for chickens, and he noted in passing that he taught a poultry class at the University of Connecticut at Storrs. The poultry professor also noted that in the hen house, older birds have a tendency to pick on younger birds, and that chicken keepers should be aware of this fact.
There then followed an extensive discussion on the proper housing for chickens. The professor pointed that "hen houses" should have proper ventilation, and that roosting chickens should be keep, "free from drafts." Dr. Darre's said that there should be heat sources in the hen house to protect the chickens from the cold, and that chickens should not be kept outdoors, when it is over 95 degrees. "Watch your chickens to make sure it is not too hot or too cold," he said with emphasis.
He added that if the chickens were clucking, it meant they were happy, and when they are making distress noises, they are not. Then, the professor went into what he called, "An owner's checklist." One of the items mentioned was that dry litter made of pine savings was the best thing for chickens to rest on, and he cautioned against using straw in the hen house. He also suggested the use of a garden rake to spread the liter around.
There should also be a perch for the chickens to walk on, and a roost on which the birds can sleep, he said. The professor noted that the birds like to cuddle together when they sleep.
As for feeding the birds, he said that bird feed should be bought by the bag, and that it was a good idea to buy "name brands" of feed. He also noted that chickens like to eat table scraps. He stressed as well that bird owners should make sure that the chickens have enough drinking water at all times.
Professor Darre said that chickens should be kept away from rodents, and that wild birds sometime eat chickens. Also, he advised that sick chickens should be put in quarantine. The professor also observed that in the hen house, "the birds themselves establisher their own pecking order."
Baby Chickens for Sale in Old Saybrook
Baby chickens are frequently available for sale at the TSC Tractor Supply Co at 401 Middlesex Turnpike in Old Saybrook.
Tractor Supply Company, which sells baby chickens
Store Manager Andrew Gaskine said that the store orders as many as 400 "live" baby chickens at a time, and that they are completely sold out in a matter of days. He said that state law requires that the baby chickens be sold in groups of six. The price range is $1.99 to $2.99 per chicken. Call 860-388-9641 for further information.

They're Putting in the Docks at the Pettipaug Yacht Club; It Must Be Spring
A harbinger that spring must be on its way, is when the Pettipaug Yacht Club starts putting its docks in the water on the Connecticut River. During the winter the dock sections are stacked up in piles in the open air.
Club work crews, with the assistance of a powerful crane which can lift over 1,500 pounds, raise up docks sections one by one, and then lower them down to the waters below. Directing this procedure last Saturday was Sandy Sanstrom, a former Club Commodore and Member of the Board of Governors.
Although the club's crane can handle heavy loads, when dock sections are being lowered into the water, work crews must physically swing the cranes and their loads into position.
The Club's Director of the Pettipaug Sailing Academy, the venerable Paul Risseeuw, looks on at the docks-in-the-water proceedings.
Club member Doreen Joslow (left) and Club Rear Commodore Kathryn Ryan (right) clear debris from the small Pettipaug beach.
A very important step in putting in the docks consists of anchoring the dock sections, securely, to the underwater ground below. The method used at Pettipaug is that at each of the four corners of the floating dock sections, there are 21 foot hollow steel pipes holding them in place. These pipes are driven straight down to the ground underwater.
To drive the steel pipes into the ground entails using a gas powered water pump, which pumps water into the top of the steel pipes at a rate 150 gallons of water pressure per minute. This strong, gushing water, coming out at the bottom of the steel pipe, blasts away the sandy soil beneath it. This in turn creates a hole that goes deeper and deeper into the ground.
In some cases the steel pipe can burrow itself into the ground to a depth of 10 feet, according to Risseeuw.
Here is a final look at a dock fully installed, even including an outboard ready to go. The preparation of the docks is just a prologue to the sailing of sail boats at the club. Sailing will commence as early as next Wednesday, March 18, by groups of high school sailors.
Let the races begin!
Purchaser of "Slum House" at North Main Street and New City Street in Essex Backs Out
Exterior of auctioned property
The winner of the bid at auction to purchase the dilapidated house at 63 North Main Street in Essex has withdrawn from making the purchase. "I will not be purchasing 63 North Main Street, Essex. CT," Edmund Mormile of Madison said in a written statement sent with a note dated March 14.
Mormile won the right to purchase the property at an auction on January 26. His winning bid for the property was $142,000. In justifying his action to cancel his bid Mormile wrote, "After dealing with a long list of issues and potential problems two concerns are especially difficult and very expensive to resolve."
"First," he said, "the septic system as shown on the site plan dated 2001 can not be documented" …A map of the sanitary system (an as-built) is not on file with the Essex Health Department as required by both state and local regulations. Without verification the existence of an upgraded sanitary system is questionable."
The bid winner's second concern, "is an existing and out – dated septic tank located under the building. The environmental concerns and potential cost grow."
Mormile asserted, "If the town determined an engineered septic system is needed, then the cost of the project could increase twenty-five thousand dollars or more." Furthermore, he wrote, "The town would only make the decision regarding the suitability of the septic system after I purchased the property, applied for a variance and a building permit."
Momile wrote, "Although it is disappointing to reach this conclusion [of cancelling his bid], I am thankful for the experience and the lessons learned." He concluded, "Finally, I'm grateful for all the friendly advice and good wishes received from the people of Essex."
St. Patrick, Himself, Would Have Been Pleased with the Essex Parade
The St. Patrick's Day parade in Essex last Saturday was a triumph. The audience along the Main Street parade route, especially from the traffic circle down to the Griswold Inn, were as much as five or six spectators deep. And every one of the marchers wore at least some kind of green.
The parade feature a wonderful variety of home town floats. Among the highlights one of many green bedecked couples, a color guard, a green-bedecked Model A Ford, a bright red tractor, a big green tree cutter, a horse drawn carriage, Essex First Selectman Norman Needleman with State Representative Phillip Miller and State Senator Art Linares, Essex's own "Sailing Masters," always in perfect order, and a huge bunch of green balloons. Here they are and more:
Eagle Watch Boat Cruises Feature Bald Eagles Soaring and Nesting along the Connecticut River Shoreline
February 27, 2014 by Jerome Wilson
Eagle Watch passengers climb on board Enviro-lab III for the cruise
It would be an exaggeration to say that the Eagle Watch boat cruises, which depart from the steamboat dock of the Connecticut River Museum, get you really "up close and personal" to the bald eagles along the shoreline. Frankly, the eagles that you can see from the boat are pretty far away, at least with naked eye.
Still, the boat cruise does get you close enough to make out bald eagles circling in the sky, as well as female bald eagles sitting in their nests, protecting their young. At times Eagle Watch bird watchers even get a glimpse of a male bald eagle diving down to the nests to deliver food to its mate and their young.
High tech cameras are used by some to take photos of the bald eagles
Powerful binoculars are provided to passengers to make it easier to make out the details of the bald eagle sightings. Also, telescopic lenses on cameras can help in filming close ups of eagles in their nests.
Well Worth a $40 Boat Ride
The Eagle Watch boat rides are co-sponsored by the Connecticut River Museum and Project Oceanology. The role of the museum is to sell $40 a person tickets for the boat ride, whereas Project Oceanology's provides a safe and sturdy, 65 foot research vessel to ferry passengers up and down the cold winter waters of the Connecticut River.
Worth noting is the fact that the boat used on the trips, the Enviro-lab III, is clean and ship shape. It has open bow and stern decks, and very importantly, a large, nicely heated cabin for eagle watchers who want to come in from the cold.
Viewing the bald eagles with binoculars on the front deck of the boat
The wintry boat cruises take somewhat over an hour and half. This provides boat passengers ample time to get a good glimpse, or a good photo, of the bald eagles that nest along the cold, cold waters of the Connecticut River this time of year.
In addition to the excitement of just going on a boat ride, boat passengers get the pleasure of the viewing the majestic spender of the river this time of year, which at times offer a bright sun shining down on the boat's decks. You really can't beat the price, for what you get.
The host-narrators of the boat on a recent Saturday were: (1) Bill Yule, a 15 year veteran narrator of winter boat cruises, and (2) Chris Dodge, a young marine scientist from Project Oceanology. Yule said at the beginning of the cruise that he had a bad cold, and, therefore, could not narrate. However, he would come along for the ride.
Bill Yule and Chris Dodge shared the narration duties on the cruise
This meant that Chris Dodge would be handling the narrating duties of the cruise. Before he started narrating, Dodge explained what might be called the "clock system" for pointing out where the eagles are located in the sky.
This "clock system" meant that when Dodge spotted an eagle in the sky which was dead ahead of the boat, he would call out, "Eagle at 12 o'clock." Or, if he sighted an eagle in the sky at the stern of the boat, he would call out, "Eagle at "6 o'clock."
Eagle sightings on the right side of the boat, facing forward, would be at "at 3 o'clock," and on the left side of the boat would be "at 9 o'clock." The system worked well, and the passengers on board quickly caught on.
On this clear and sunny day there were a lot of eagles overhead in the sky. The bow and stern decks of the boat were crowded with bald eagle watchers. They changed positions back and forth, depending on "o'clock" positions called out by Dodge.
Viewing the bald eagles from the stern deck of "Enviro-lab III"
Eagles Up in the Sky, and On Land as Well
Not only were there eagle spotting in the sky above, the bald eagles were on the shoreline land as well. Suddenly, all this was too much for the benched bird spotter, Bill Yule, to take.
Yule soon began calling out as well over the ship's microphone, the "clock" positions of where eagles could be sighted. It was now a joyful narrative with two, top ranked, eagle spotters, telling the 40 passengers on board, where to see the eagles. There was genuine excitement on board with Yule's clear voice helping with the narration.
Still, because of the cold outdoors the cruise was beginning to seem a bit long. Increasingly, eagle spotters going into the spacious heated cabin for warmth.
First Up, and Then Down the River
Over the course of the cruse, the "Enviro-lab III," first cruised north up the river, going as far as Eight Mile Island. The island takes its name from being eight miles up from the mouth of the Connecticut River, we were told.
Then, the boat came around and sailed down the river, passing the steam boat dock of the Connecticut River Museum, where the tour started, and continuing down towards the mouth of the river.
As the boat got closer to the river's mouth, the waters of the river became more and more salty and warmer. This can mean that sometimes seals, and even a whale, can be spotted, although they did not appear on this trip.
As the boat got continually closer to the mouth of the river, the wind picked up significantly. In fact, it was blowing so hard, that the decision was made to turn the boat around and proceed upriver again.
At one point on the trip home, one of the passengers asked if the Emvio-lab III could safely go into Hamburg Cove, across the river from Essex. Tour leader Dodge said that the boat, which has a four foot draft, theoretically, could safely go into the cove. However, he said the wind in the cove might blow the boat into shallow water, therefore, it was inadvisable to go into the cove.
With more and more passengers sitting in the cabin for warmth, it was time to end the cruise. With a flawless landing, the boat came to rest at the steamboat dock of the Connecticut River Museum. What a day it had been! What a time to remember!
Bald eagle cruises will run every Friday, Saturday and Sunday until March 16. Call 860-767-8296 to make reservations. The boats sail from the steamboat dock of the Connecticut River Museum, which is located at the foot of Maine Street in downtown Essex.
Middlesex Hospital to Open New Westbrook Medical Center in April
Middlesex Hospital's new Shoreline Medical Center in Westbrook to open in April
Middlesex Hospital is on track to open a new emergency and outpatient medical center off Exit 65 of I-95 in Westbrook this coming April. The new 44,000 square foot medical center is located at 250 Flat Rock Road, which is on the road that leads up to the Tanger Outlet Mall.
As soon as the new Westbrook medical center is completed, Middlesex Hospital will make the transition from its existing Shoreline Medical Center in Essex. The new Westbrook location will be double the size of the Essex facility. In addition, it will have the capacity to expand up to 60,000 square feet, if there is a need to do so.
Middlesex Hospital's new Westbrook facility will have many improvements over the present Essex facility. They include an expanded emergency center with 24 beds, as well as an urgent care area for non-emergency patients. Patient privacy will be also be improved at the new center and there will be a separate outside entrance to the adjoining outpatient area.
In addition, the new facility will have a full service laboratory, an infusion therapy suite, expanded radiology services and a designated women's imaging area.
Chester Company Donates $1 Million to New Center
Whelen Engineering, Inc., which is headquartered in Chester, is donating $1 million towards the building of the new Middlesex Hospital Shoreline Medical Center in Westbrook. The new Emergency Department in Westbrook will be aptly named the "Whelen Emergency Center."
Whelen Engineering previously donated $1 million towards to the construction of a new Emergency Department in Middletown, which the hospital named the "Whelen Emergency Pavilion."
Middlesex Hospital's History of Medical Care on the Shoreline
Middlesex Hospital has a history, beginning in 1970, of providing medical care to the shoreline residents of Middlesex County. The hospital first rented a space in Centerbrook, where it set up a full-service, satellite Emergency Department.
From its first day of operation, this Shoreline Medical Center in Centerbrook experienced phenomenal growth. In fact, it soon became impossible for the medical center to remain at its Centerbrook location and properly serve an overrun of patients for the size of the facility.
Then, two Essex residents, Mr. and Mrs. Alfred P. Knapp, came to the rescue by donating to Middlesex Hospital 10.4 acres of land on which to build a new, permanent, Shoreline Medical Center in Essex. Today, the facility serves on average 2,000 to 2,500 patients a month in its Emergency Department alone. In addition, the Medical Center's Emergency Department has received a number of prestigious awards for its excellence in patient satisfaction.
Shoreline Medical Clinic in Essex, which will close this coming April when Westbrook Medical Center opens
Middlesex Hospital to date has not announced its plans for the building in Essex, once it has been closed and replaced by the new Westbrook facility.
Morning Storm Shows Its Bluster, But Then It Will Melt and Melt

Griswold Inn Hosts Tour of Its Priceless Collection of Pictures of Steamboats
A surfeit of steamboat portraits in the main dining room of Griswold Inn
On the wintry afternoon of Sunday, February 9, the Griswold Inn hosted a tour for some 50 visitors of its priceless collection of pictures of steamboats. Throughout the 19th century steamboats along the Connecticut River were the commercial lifeblood of the state, and the town of Essex was a favorite port of call.
Leading the tour of the collection of steamboat pictures, was Geoffrey Paul, one of the three Paul brothers who own the Griswold Inn. The three Paul brothers also own the Goods and Curiosity Store across the street from the Inn, as well as Sunset Pond at the entrance to downtown Essex.
In his over two hours of lecturing, Gris owner Paul gave an informative tour of the priceless collection of pictures of steamboats that are on display at the Griswold Inn. The tour began with Paul's pointing out the pictures of steamboats that are on display in the new bar room of the Griswold Inn.

A highlight in the new bar room is a newly painted, panoramic portrait of Essex harbor, as it looked in the mid-19th century. Looking at what he called, "a wonderful picture," Paul let his visitors in on a secret. The secret is that the bartender can flip a switch, which will make the picture behind the bar rock slowly back and forth.
The gentle rocking of the Essex harbor picture is supposed to replicate what it feels like, when a person is on board a gently rocking steamboat, as it comes into Essex harbor in the mid-19th century. However, Paul said that in some cases people might think that the back and forth rocking motion means that they have had too much to drink, and that it is time to go home. (Owner Paul said if a guest wants to make the picture rock, they just have to ask the bartender.)
During the Gris tour, Paul made much of the fact that the Griswold Inn is the oldest, continuously operating bar room in the United States. The Griswold Inn opened for business in 1776, and it has serving drinks ever since, according to its co-owner.
Other bars in the country may have been opened earlier than, "the Gris," he said, but they have not been in continuous operation. That means that the bar at the Gris has been serving drinks for 238 years continuously.
After that factoid had been established, the visiting group moved on to the front room of the Inn to look at some more steamboat pictures, and then thru the old bar room to the picture splendid backroom of the Inn. It a room whose upper walls are covered with steamboat pictures. The profusion of steamboats portraits is staggering.
Treasured Jacobson Steamship Portraits
The most treasured portraits of the steamboats of the 19th century on display are those painted by a leading American marine artist, Antonio Nicolo Gasparn Jacobson. The Griswold Inn owns five original ship portraits by Jacobson, and many copies are on display as well.

In addition to the Jacobson pictures, owner Paul noted that a sketch of a Norman Rockwell picture of a steamboat is on display in the new bar room. In addition to his painstaking tour of the steamboat pictures at the Gris, Paul raised the question as to who was first inventor of the steamboat in America.
According to Paul, it was not Robert Fulton, who is frequently credited as the inventor of the steamboat, but rather was John Fitch, an American inventor who build the first functioning steamboat in the 1790's.

Visitors do not have to book a formal tour to view the museum quality pictures of steamboats that are on display on the walls of the downstairs rooms of at the Griswold Inn. The general public is generally welcome to view the priceless collection of steamboat portrait, most especially the picture-rich in the back room of the Inn.
There is also a "gun room" in the warren of downstairs rooms at the Gris. And don't forget that upon request the big mural in the back of the new bar room can be made to rock and forth.
Another public tour of the Griswold Inn's collection of nautical prints and paintings is scheduled for Sunday, March 2 at five p.m. Reservations to join the tour can be made by calling 860-767-1776. The tour is very popular and space is limited, so it is would be a good idea to call early.
No "Butts" About It, CVS Pharmacies Have Stopped Selling Cigarettes; While Rival, Rite Aid, Is Still Selling Them
February 8, 2014 by Jerome Wilson
The nation's largest pharmacy chain, CVS, recently announced that it would stop selling cigarettes. However, one of its major competitors in the pharmacy business, Rite Aid, has declined not to adopt a similar policy.
Rite Aid's Bob Neveu, who is in charge of the pharmacy at the Colonial shopping center in Essex, maintains that even though Rite Aid still sell cigarettes, it is still cutting back in selling tobacco products generally. "We used to have a special cigar section in the stores," he says, and now they have been eliminated.
Rite Aid's Nevey admits he has always felt that, "it was somewhat incongruous for a health goods store, like Rite Aid, to be selling cigarettes." However, regardless of the store manager's personal feelings, cigarettes enjoy a prime spot behind the checkout counter at the front of the store, where Marlboro cigarette packages and other brands are on full display.
As for the CVS pharmacy chain, in its pharmacy in downtown Old Saybrook on Boston Post Road, it indeed appears that CVS is not selling cigarettes, true to its word. Not a single cigarette package was evident on recent visit. However, it does appear that CVS has not given up selling other tobacco products. On a recent visit right behind the checkout counters, although there were no cigarettes in view, there were clearly other kinds of tobacco products for sale.

When asked what they were, "We sell pipe tobacco and cigars," said one of the women behind the CVS checkout counter.

Essex "Slum" House Sold at Auction for $142,000 to Madison Resident
January 26, 2014 by Jerome Wilson
Present condition of the interior of 63 North Main Street in Essex
It took 28 individual bids at the auction before Madison resident Edmund Mormile won the right to purchase the forlorn property at 63 North Main Street in Essex. The purchase price was $142,000. "I have always liked Essex," auction winner Mormile said after his successful bid had been recognized.
Essex Attorney Jeannine Myszkowski, who conducted the auction, did so by acknowledging numbered cards held up by bidders who wanted their bids to be recognized. Soon there were only three bidders still in the completion, holding up their numbered cards. Finally, there was only one numbered card still being held up by a bidder, willing to pay the last and highest bid price.
Essex Attorney Jeannine Wyszkowski conducted the auction, recognizing 28 bids
The auction was over, and Mormile was the winner. To make it official Attorney Myszkowski brought down the gavel and declared his was the winning bid. The auction took no more than 30 minutes. "I was pleased with the result," she said after the auction was over. She also ventured the opinion that to her the North Main Street property "looks like a teardown."
To Tear Down or Not to Tear Down
However, auction winner Mormile said after his victory that he was not willing to concede that the present structure could not be rebuild; although he said that building a new structure was an option. Either way, he said, there was a real possibility that he and his wife would move and live in Essex on the site.
Auction winner Mormile is a retired educator, and he has a real estate license as well. He said that before making his bid, "I worked the numbers, and it made sense to do what I did today." "It's in a beautiful area," he said, and the North Main location of the property was "a motivating factor to me" in purchasing the property.
One final note, the sale must be approved by the state Superior Court.

Shoreline Towns Recover Rapidly From Snow Storm

The three shoreline towns of Essex, Deep River and Chester received the full brunt of the snow storm on January 21 and 22. However, recovery was quick, and in each of the three towns the main streets were completely cleared, and the secondary roads plowed and safe to drive on, by mid-morning at the latest.

In fact, in the down towns at noon, it was even hard to tell that that there had been a major snow storm the night before. However, along the shore in Essex, and on the open fields of Deep River and Chester, the major storm had clearly left its mark.
Chester downtown, very little is left of the storm
Five Book Clubs at Essex Library Keep Members, Both Busy and Informed
Library Director Richard Conroy (center) chairing an American History Book Club meeting
If you like to read books on a regular basis, joining one of the book clubs at the Essex Library is the thing to do. The library's Executive Director, Richard Conway, is in overall charge of the library's book clubs. In addition, he personally moderates the discussions of three of them. The other two book clubs are moderated by the library's Programming Librarian, Jenny Tripp.
Programming Librarian Jenny Trip, who leads two book clubs and has a host of other duties at the Essex Library
Here is a look at the library's five book clubs.
1) The American History Book Club
This is the oldest of the library's book clubs, and generally there are twenty to thirty book club members attending club meetings. Recent books discussed include, "Those Angry Days: Roosevelt, Lindberg, and America's Fight Over World War II, 1939-1942" by Lynn Olson. Another recent selection was, "The Hopkins Touch" by David L. Roll, which highlighted the key role that Harry Hopkins played in the presidency of Franklin Roosevelt.
One of the unique pleasures of the meetings of this book club are the comments of two members who are retired college professors, Richard Buel and John Osborn. Hearing these two debate various nuances of American history is an extra pleasure.
Club member, Lory ffrench-Mullen, travels all the way from Madison to attend the club's meetings in Essex. Commenting on the high quality of the club's discussions, she observes that, "American history is alive and well on the Connecticut Shoreline." Continuing she says, "Whether our subject is the presidency and military history of Ulysses S. Grant, the life and accomplishments of Henry Luce, or the dramatic debate prior to World War II about America's participation in that war, the comments and observations from everyone seated at the table lead to very lively and informative discussions."
Also, club member John Osborn comments, "The group discusses serious books of American history." As for the moderating skills of library Executive Director Richard Conroy, Osborn says, "He is firm but unobtrusive. He lets people talk freely, but he is ready to advance the subject under discussion, if they talk too much."
2) The Third Wednesday Book Club
This book club, also moderated by Essex Library Director Richard Conway, holds its meetings at the Essex Meadows retirement home. Conroy observes that the club's members, "are very engaged in various subjects, even though they are older."
Jean Luburg, an active member of the book club, says that she first thought that being a member of a book club, "was a stupid idea." Now, she has completely changed her mind and says being a member of the book club is "fantastic." Luburg is also pleased that the library director Conroy personally comes to the Meadows to moderate the club's discussions.
A recent book discussed by the club was, "The Curse: Big Time Gambling's Seduction of a Small New England Town" by Robert H. Steele.
3) The First Thursday Book Club
Library Director Conroy also moderates this book club, which meets at the Essex Library. He says that this book club, "read quality literature, both fiction and non-fiction." Recent club selections are, "My Beloved World" by Sonya Sotomayor; "Long Halftime Walk" by Billy Lynn; and "Slaughter House Five by Curt Vonnegut.
Another selection of this book club was Carlos Eire's, "Learning to Die in Miami." The author, who is a Cuban refuge, was a recent guest speaker at the Essex library.
4) The Shakespeare Book Club
The library's Programing Librarian, Jenny Tripp, is the moderator of this book club, which focuses on the plays of William Shakespeare. Recently, members have read and discussed; "King Lear," "The Tempest," and "Cymbeline." The group has also read historical plays of the Bard, including a less familiar play, "King John," and a very familiar play, "Richard III."

The interior of the Essex Library, where four of the library's five book club are held. The fifth book is held at Essex Meadows.
The Library Director's View of the Book Clubs
Library Director Conroy says that by personally moderating the book clubs, "it gives me the opportunity to really interact with our library patrons, and they get to know me as well." Conroy brings an impressive academic background to the book club meetings. He has a B.A., and an M.A. in Library Science, from Connecticut Central University. He also has an M.A. from Trinity College in Hartford.
Conroy says, "I am a voracious reader," which is fortunate, because he has to keep up with the reading assignments of three very active book clubs, in addition to his administrative duties at the Essex Library.
As for Programming Librarian Jenny Tripp, she also has other responsibilities at the library besides moderating book club discussions. They include organizing and publicizing the library's adult programs, setting up film showings, and editing the library's newsletter, Ex Libris. It's a full plate for a part time employee.
Paintings by Local Artist, Luisa Kreis Whiting, On Display at Essex Library

Clouds, clouds, and even more clouds, that is the first thing that strikes a visitor in viewing the paintings by Essex artist, Luisa Kreis Whiting. In many of Whiting's paintings, the clouds receive far more emphasis then the ground below.
There are thirteen original paintings by Whiting presently on display at the Essex Library. They are located on the wall across from the check-out desk, and along the walls of the library's program room as well.
Whiting, who has spent a lifetime as a painter of pictures, has a Bachelor of Arts degree from Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia. As for the style of her paintings she says seeks to emulate the work of the American master, Edward Hopper. "He is my ideal," she says, mentioning specifically "the hard-edged light" that she finds in Hopper's paintings.
New England moonlight from painter's imagination
In addition to her paintings of clouds, Whiting in other painting seeks to portray the classic simplicity of the houses in New England, and a number of paintings on this subject are in the exhibit. As for Whiting's background, she is an Artist Member of the Essex Art Association, and her paintings have been exhibited in the Left Bank Gallery in Essex, the Town Hall in Clinton and at the Essex Yacht Club.
Clouds over a New England landscape
As regards her family, she has three daughters and five grandchildren. For a period Whiting living in Richmond, Virginia, where she had a number of exhibitions of her works. However, she feels that, "The taste for art is much better here [in New England] than in Virginia," although she has high praise for the mansions found in the south.
Her Father a Noted Artist
Whiting is the daughter of a major American artist, Henry Kreis. Kreis was an immigrant from Germany, who proudly became an American citizen. His creative works are featured in a number U.S. government buildings in Washington, D.C., and he designed the official medal for the 1939 World's Fair in New York City, among many other government commissions of his art and sculpture.
Also, Whiting's father loved Essex and made the town his home for very many years. Now, his daughter, Luisa, is back in town, displaying her own works at the Essex Library.
Essex Eyesore Is Up for Sale, Finally – Auction This Saturday
Sign presently on the property at 63 North Main Street

The auction will begin at noon and persons wishing to inspect the property beforehand can view it from 10 a.m. on the day of the auction.

A number of prospective buyers have told Attorney Wyszkowski that they would renovate the present property on the site, if they had the winning bid. Others have told her that they would tear down the present building on the site and put up a new one. In addition, there has been some discussion of turning the property into a public pocket park.
The abandoned property up for sale by auction on Jan. 25
How the Auction Will Proceed
As to how the auction will proceed, the bank that presently holds the property may make an opening bid of $130,000, according to Attorney Wyszkowski. Then, after this sum has been announced, she might ask for a bid of $140,000. If this bid accepted, and there is no further bidding, that would be the final sale price of the property. Or, of course, if there were other bids from registered buyers, the bid price could go higher and higher.
Attorney Wyszkowski is confident that the bidding will go smoothly. "I have done it before," she says.
Attorney Jean Wyszkowski will conduct auction of the derelict house on Jan. 25
New Executive Director Has Big Dreams, Plans for Connecticut River Museum
Chris Dobbs, new Executive Director of Connecticut River Museum
Imagine if you will, a vintage, side-wheeler steamboat tied up, smartly, at the Steamboat Dock of the Connecticut River Museum. Imagine as well that on given days, this old, classic steamboat carries modern day passengers up and down the Connecticut River on both educational and pleasure cruises.
This is just one of the ambitious dreams held by the Connecticut River Museum's new Executive Director, Christopher I. Dobbs. (He prefers to be called "Chris.") Chris Dobbs recently replaced the museum's former Executive Director, Jerry Roberts.
A resident of Deep River, the 42 year old Dobbs comes to his new post at the Connecticut River Museum after a nine year stint as Executive Director of the Noah Webster House & West Hartford Historical Society in West Hartford. Prior to that, Dobbs was the Associate Director of Education at the Mystic Seaport Museum of America and the Sea. Dobbs has an M.A. in Museum Studies from the State University College of New York, Cooperstown, New York.
To help him get the Connecticut River Museum's top job, Dobbs submitted to the search committee an impressive, three paged, single space, small type resume, setting forth his previous experience and multiple accomplishments in the museum field. For example, his resume notes that as head of the Noah Webster House & West Hartford Historical Society, he "Developed and completed $1.2 million capital campaign (raised 20% more than goal)."
Also, noted is that in his previous position he "Acted as the chief fundraiser by working with individual donors, foundations, city government, and State of Connecticut legislatures and agencies, and that he "increased endowment 45%.
"Conversational" billboard entrance to the Museum
It is highly likely that the new Executive Director's fund raising skills did not go unnoticed by the Connecticut River Museum's search committee for a new Executive Director. Further evidence of Dobbs, successful fund raising was that he managed and fundraised for a 250th Birthday celebration for his previous employer's namesake, Noah Webster.
The Dream of a Steamboat Tied Up at Steamboat Dock
In a recent interview Dobbs demonstrated that he is a person who can dream big. For example, he suggested that at some future date the Connecticut River Museum might acquire a fully working, side paddling steamboat. With this historical coincidence in mind, the new steamboat would be docked at the Steamboat Dock of the Connecticut River Museum. In the 19th century the Steamboat Dock was a frequent stop for steamboats operating along the river.
As for the present availability of old steamboats, Dobbs said, "There are some of them still around for sale." Dobbs asks what could be more appropriate than to have a working steamboat tied up at the Steamboat Dock of the Connecticut River Museum.
This does not mean that the museum's present sailboat, the "Mary E," which seasonably carries paying passengers on short cruises up and down the Connecticut River, would be replaced immediately. However, the new Executive Director feels that having a working steamboat at the Steamboat Dock would be uniquely consistent with the Connecticut River Museum's mission and history.
The unadorned entrance of the Connecticut River Museum
This talk of steamboats does not mean that Dobbs is not completely on board in commemorating next year's 200th anniversary of the 2014 burning of the American ships in Essex by British forces during the war of 1812. However, Dobbs clearly feels that this one-time historic event should not be the principal focus of the Connecticut River Museum.
Tying the Museum to the Entire Connecticut River
Rather, the central mission of the museum in Dobbs's view is that it should focus on the full length of the Connecticut River. As Dobbs puts it, "This is, after all, the Connecticut River Museum, and, therefore, the entire length of the river from the Canadian border down to the rivers mouth on Long Island Sound is what this museum should be all about." It should be noted that the Connecticut River is 407 miles long, and that it begins just below the Canadian border and runs down to its mouth on Long Island Sound in Connecticut between Old Saybrook and Old Lyme.
Artist rendering at the Museum of 1814 British attack on Essex
Activities that the museum could sponsor, could be canoe excursions on the upper Connecticut River between Vermont and New Hampshire. In addition, the new Executive Director envisions joining the fight against pollution in the Connecticut River, as well as children's programs about animal and aquatic life along the Connecticut River, including teaching young and old how "to hold a fish and touch a crab."
Dodd also raptures that the Connecticut River is, "America's First Blue Way." Also, like many environmentalists, he is grateful that the mouth of the Connecticut River between Old Saybrook and Old Lyme "has not been spoiled by development."
In sum, Chriss Dobbs, the new Executive Director of the Connecticut River Museum, takes a broad and exciting view of his new position. As he puts it, "We are the Connecticut River Museum, and that is the Connecticut River, and that is what we are about." He continues, "That means that the museum is entwined with the river, every single mile of it."

New $28 Million Medical Center in Westbrook Is on Track to Open in April 2014
The new Westbrook medical center under construction
Middlesex Hospital's new Shoreline Medical Center in Westbrook is scheduled to open its doors to receive patients, as early as April 2014.
The Whiting-Turner Construction Company of New Haven is in charge of constructing the new Medical Center in Westbrook. The company estimates that the new facility will be finished by March 2014. Then, it will take much of April 2014 for Middlesex Hospital to furnish the new Center and to install medical equipment.
New Center Can Expand to 60,00 Square Feet
The new Medical Center in Westbrook will initially have 44,000 square feet of working space. However, the Center can be expanded to 60,000 square feet, if it becomes necessary. By contrast the Hospital's present Medical Center in Essex is just over 20,000 square feet. On an historical note, the Essex facility has provided emergency medical care for shoreline residents for over forty years.
There is still work to do
The new Middlesex Hospital Shoreline Medical Center will be located on Flat Rock Place, which is just off Exit 65 of Interstate I-95. Flat Rock Place is a four-lane access highway, which has the auto dealerships of Honda and Toyota at the bottom end and the Tanger Outlets shopping mall at the top. The new Medical Center will be located half way up Flat Rock Place on the left hand side.
The present medical center in Essex
When complete, the new Shoreline Medical Center in Westbrook will have, "a whole host of diagnostic and treatment services," according to hospital sources. In addition, "radiological services will expand to include a new MRI testing area, and a designated woman's imaging area." Also, the new Center in Westbrook will continue to provide 24/7 medical care, and it will have a helipad for emergency helicopter trips, as well as paramedic services.
Advantages of New Westbrook Location
In addition to a large roster of medical services at the new Westbrook facility, there are significant access advantages as well. The new Westbrook center will be conveniently located, just off I-95 at Exit 65.
Also, the new Westport location will permit patients from towns, such as Old Lyme, Old Saybrook, Clinton and Guilford, to have direct I-95 Interstate access to the new facility. In addition, the residents of Deep River, Chester and Haddam, via Route 9, will have I-95 Interstate access to the new Center as well.
Although patients from Essex will no longer have their very own medical center right in town; still it will be only be a few extra miles down Route 153 for Essex residents to reach the new Westbrook Center.

An Autumn Parade, As the Leaves Turn
November 7, 2013 by Jerome Wilson
The leaves of autumn are a progression. They go from splendid color to the skeletal forms of leafless branches. Here, is what this progression looks like, courtesy of the trees on North Main Street in Essex.
First, there is an autumn tree in full colored splendor
Next, there come a tree, just beginning its trip to winter's leaflessness
And, finally, hardly a single leaf remains, and so the trees will stay until next Spring
Rough Seas Cancel Pettipaug Rowing Event
Taking the shells into the water shortly after 7 a.m.
It was just too "doggone" rough on the Connecticut River last Sunday to hold the annual race of rowing shells (or sculls, if you prefer), sponsored by Essex's Pettipaug Yacht Club. The river had a vicious chop, caused by a strong wind blowing down from the north, and a strong tide coming up from the south.
It was a "perfect storm" scenario for swamping the competing rowing shells. After all, racing shells have only three inches of freeboard above the water line, and on Sunday the waves were up to five and six inches. Clearly, the river was an unsafe place for shells to be.
Taking the shells out of the water shortly thereafter.
In fact, some the boats that had gone out into the river before the start, where the wind was gusting up to 15 knots, were now coming back swamped to their gunnels. Race Director Paul Fuchs had had enough, and just before the scheduled eight o'clock start, he called off the race.
The would be racers gather for a photo of the race that wasn't.
After all, John Kennedy, Chairman of Pettipaug Yacht Club's Races and Regattas Committee, had taken out a U.S. Coast Guard permit to hold the race. Most certainly, this permit had been offered with the understanding that a permitted race should not go forward under unsafe conditions.
Pettipaug Race Ended Shell's Racing Season
The cancelled regatta at the Pettipaug Yacht Club last Sunday was the last race of a series of races held by a regional shell racing organization. The organization has members from all over New England and Connecticut, including shell rowers from Boston, New Haven and New York.
Thirty-three racing shells with their owners had shown up to participate in the canceled regatta last Sunday. If the race had gone forward, the crews would have rowed two kinds of shells: 1) a two-person shell of 34 feet in length, and 2) a one person shells of 27 feet.
The larger two person shells, if they had raced, would have had been manned by all male crews, all female crews and mixed male and female crews. The smaller, one person shells had both men and women crews. When new, a 34 foot long, racing shell can cost as much as $18,000, and the 27 foot shell, as much as $13,000.
As a footnote to the cancelled Sunday regatta, the Pettipaug Yacht Club had no less than eight, rescue powerboats in the water, ready to fish out swamped shells, if it had become necessary.
As for the race course of the race that was not, it would have stretched over a ten miles. The race would have begun at a starting line, just off the Pettipaug Yacht Club. Then, it would have run north up the Connecticut River, before turning into Selden Creek. The course would have continued around Selden Island, and back into the river. To finish the competing shells would have rowed south down the river to the starting line, where the race began.

The younger Sandstrom, 27, is a specialist in the carbon fiber construction of racing sailboats. Because it is lighter and stronger, carbon fiber construction has become the favorite over fiber glass, in the construction racing, sailboat hulls.
The younger Stanstrom worked not only on this year's American entry in the 34th America Cup Race, he also worked on the American entry in the 33rd America Cup Race. In this year's final race the America team, Oracle Team USA, beat out the Emirates Team New Zealand by a mere 44 seconds.
To capture the America's Cup the U.S. team, funded by Larry Ellison, had first to win seven consecutive races in order to catch up with the New Zealand team. In the final race, initially, the New Zealand boat had a 40 meter lead; however, eventually the wind and the tide favored the Americans in going upwind, which enabled them to win.
The entire cup race lasts barely twenty minutes; the boats are so fast in going around the course.
Talk at Essex Meadows on America's Delayed Entry into World War II
Author Lynne Olson, whose recent book, THOSE ANGRY DAYS, Roosevelt, Lindbergh and American's Fight Over World War II, 1939-1941, spells out in unsparing detail the inexcusable long time that it took America to join the fight against imperial Japan, Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy in World War II.
Olson will speak on this theme at an open public meeting at Essex Meadows on Sunday, September 29 at 3:00 p.m. The event is sponsored by the Churchill Society, and a voluntary contribution of ten dollars is requested from those attending. Refreshments will be provided by Essex Meadows after author Olson's talk.
Roosevelt Goes Slow in Going to War
As Olson notes in her book, although Great Britain's war time leader, Winston Churchill, was literally begging Roosevelt to have America enter the war against Nazi Germany as soon as possible, the President's response was to parcel out support for Britain, one slow step at a time. The President's excuse was that he did not want to get ahead of American public opinion, which he felt at the time did not want to go to war.
In her book Olson also writes how Roosevelt, ever so slowly, doled out aid to Great Britain. America's first concrete gift was to give the British, 50 American World War I-vintage destroyers. However, in return for these creaky, old ships, the President required Britain to hand over to the U.S. a number of British bases in the West Indies.
Author Lynne Olson
Next, there was the American Lend Lease program, in which Roosevelt adopted the fiction that the U.S. was not giving aid to Great Britain but rather simply lending it. Finally, there was the issue of America destroyers protecting convoys of British ships, which were crossing the Atlantic Ocean with much needed aid for Britain.
However, even when an American destroyer was sunk by a German U-boat, as Olson reports, killing 115 Americans crew members, Roosevelt did not protest such a war-provoking attack. In fact, not until Japan's surprise attack against Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, when eight American battleships were sunk, did Roosevelt call upon the Congress to declare war against Japan.
However, the President at the time did not ask the Congress to declare war against Germany or Italy, the two other Axis powers. This meant that for a short period there was speculation that America would only be at war with Japan. However, then on December 11, 1941 Germany and Italy declared war or the U.S., and finally Roosevelt asked the Congress to declare war on them as well.
Charles Lindbergh, America's Voice for Peace
As Olson spells out in her book, it is difficult to imagine now, just how popular Charles Lindbergh was after he made the world's first solo flight across the Atlantic Ocean in 1927. He was, literally, idolized both in Europe and America. Making him an even more evocative figure was the tragic kidnapping and murder of his young son, Charles, Jr.
After his son's death, Lindbergh and his wife, Anne, moved to England and France for a number of years. While in Europe Lindbergh became deeply impressed by the Nazi regime of Adolph Hitler. In fact, in 1938 Lindbergh had become such an unabashed Nazi sympathizer that he accepted the "Service Cross of the German Eagle" from the Hitler regime. The medal was personally presented to Lindbergh by Nazi Luftwaffe chief Herman Goering.
After Lindbergh returned to the United States, he became a much sought after speaker by America peace groups, such as America First. These groups were dead set against America becoming involved in another European war like that of World War I. Even after the fall of France to the Germans, and the relentless bombing of London and other British cities by the Luftwaffe, Lindbergh and his pro-peace allies counseled that the America should not take sides in the European conflict.
However, as Olson notes, Lindbergh finally took a step too far. In a speech in September 1941 in Des Moines, Iowa, he said that American Jews pose a particular "danger to this country," because of "their large ownership and influence in our motion pictures, our press, our radio and our government." This was even too much for the isolationist Chicago Tribune, who in the past had praised Lindbergh for his anti-war activities, and who now repudiated his remarks.
However, for all of Lindbergh's pro-peace activities, after the U.S. went to war against Japan, Germany and Italy, he totally committed himself to the American cause. He even flew combat missions as a pilot in the Pacific against the Japanese, and worked on making more effective U.S. war planes, as is duly noted by Olson.
Chester Boy Scout Builds Bridge in Bushy Hill Nature Camp to Qualify for Eagle Scout Rank
The new Red Trail bridge at the Bushy Hill Nature Camp
Tyler R. Johnson, a 17-year old Chester resident, and six year member of the Boy Scouts of America, recently supervised the complete rebuilding of a much needed bridge in the Bush Hill Nature Camp in Ivoryton.
The bridge building project fulfilled for Johnson a necessary requirement for him to attain the rank of Eagle Scout. The new bridge connects the Red Trail to Berry-Berry Island in the Bushy Hill Camp.
The old Red Trail bridge to Berry-Berry Island
The new bridge is 22 feet in length and three feet wide, and it has new, four foot high, rope railings on both sides. All of the work on the new bridge was supervised by Johnson, who was assisted by 15 or more Boy Scout volunteers.
As a reward for their efforts, the volunteers received "services hours," which are necessary for their advancement in the ranks of the Boy Scouts. For Johnson the bridge-building project fulfilled for him the requirement to have an "Eagle Leadership Project" to become an Eagle Scout.
Johnson is a six year member of the Boy Scouts of America, and to reach the rank of Eagle Scout, he had to pass through the ranks of scouting from Tenderfoot to Eagle, with four other ranks in between. In the process Johnson earned 33 different Boy Scout merit badges, ranging from Swimming to Financial Management, from Citizenship to Small Boat Handling.
Commenting on his bridge building project, Johnson said, "I wanted to give back to the [Bushy Hill Nature]camp, which I attended for seven years, and for which I have fond memories." Johnson also very much wants to have the impressive rank of Eagle Scout on his resume,' as he searches for a college to attend next year.

Chester Village West, a Luxury Retirement Community on Top of a Hill in Chester
Entry sign of Chester Village West, located on the western boundary of Chester
To reach Chester Village West come north on Route 9, and then get off at Exit 6. Next, at the bottom of the ramp, take a left on to Route 148, and then drive up what feels like a long, long hill. As you climb, there is almost nothing but full grown tress along both sides of the road.
Then, suddenly, on your left you see the large sign for Chester Village West. You have now reached a state of the art, fully developed, top of the line, retirement community.
Entrance road into Chester Village West, a meticulously kept retirement community
Running the show at the retirement community is Executive Director Robert Taylor, who terms Chester Village West, "a premier, senior living community." There are presently 105 residents at the "community," tended, and cared for, by a staff of 43.
A key member of the staff at the community is Nurse Navigator Catherine Balliett. She is the "go to" person, whenever a resident has a medical question, which can range all the way from a troublesome hang nail to a worrisome pain in the chest.
The living quarters at Chester Village West consist of 90 apartments and 15 semi-detached houses. The apartments have four layouts, which are: one bedroom, one bedroom with den, two bedrooms, and two bedrooms with den. As for the semi-detached houses, they all have two bedrooms, with a choice of two different layouts plans.
These accommodations, as well as the other amenities at the community, are located on 25 acres of developed land on the western town line of Chester. Abutting the developed acreage, are 25 more acres belonging to Chester Village West, which are wetlands.
The Large Corporate Owner of Chester Village West
Chester Village West is wholly owned by Life Care Services, which has its headquarters in Des Moines, Iowa. In total the company owns 17 senior living facilities, including Chester Village West, and it is also the managing partner of 112 other senior living facilities. In total the company has operations in 38 states.
The relevance of this wide experience, says Chester Village West's Executive Director Bob Taylor, is that when it comes to senior living, "We perfected it." Taylor is also not reluctant in comparing his retirement facility in Chester with Essex Meadows in Essex. "We consider Essex Meadows as one of our competitors," he says.
Taylor's number one desire for residents at Chester Village West is that he wants all of them to feel that, "This is your home."
The Array of Services at Chester Village West
The services that are available at Chester West are truly staggering. They include one meal a day prepared by a, "five star," Master Chef in the person of Chris Pardue, who even has his own herb garden. Furthermore, residents are offered not only "gracious" dining with full table service, if they prefer there is "take out" service as well.
In addition to the one table served meal a day at Chester Village West, there is also complementary morning coffee and Danish as well. Also, at the community, residents are provided with: housekeeping services, linen services, scheduled transportation, utilities services, a full-time maintenance staff, lawn and garden care, 24-hour security, a full time Activities Director, shopping services, and a 24-hour Home Health Aide.
Also, the community has a backup generator to use, just in case regular power goes out. "It was a top priority upon my arrival, "says Executive Director Bob Taylor. In addition, Chester Village West is "pet friendly."
More Features at the Chester Village West
Other attractive features at Chester Village West include: apartments with eat-in kitchens, which have either balconies or patios, and semi-detached houses with garages and fireplaces. Also, on site are an indoor swimming pool, a pub, a library, a music room and theater, a card room, a creative arts room, a beauty shop/barber shop, an exercise room, a greenhouse, and a pond with a gazebo.
In addition, for emergencies there is an emergency response system in each apartment or house, as well as a fire alarm system throughout the facility.
In conclusion, Executive Director Bob Taylor says, "The true value of Chester Village West can only be appreciated by touring the community, walking its many trails, and meeting staff and residents first hand."
For further information, and for a private guided tour, interested parties can contact Sara Philpott, Marketing Director, Chester Village West, at 860-526-6800.

Workshop 2 is entitled "Long Term Care Insurance: What you need to know." This workshop has been designed to review the generic framework of long term care insurance. Policy holders will learn more about their benefits, elimination periods, and other specifics to help them become more comfortable with policy language and procedure.
Workshop 3 is titled "I'm Ready, What's Next?" and has been developed for those who are truly ready to take the next step. This workshop offers guidance if you are at the point where you've completed your research, you've visited several communities, you've found a retirement option that appeals to you and will require a physical move, and now feel almost ready to solidify your retirement plans. This is truly the nuts and bolts blueprint for organizing the next phase of your retirement lifestyle.

Old Saybrook Photographer Releases Photo of the Preserve, Which He Helped Save from Development
Aerial photograph of the undeveloped, forested Preserve courtesy of Robert Lorenz, Lorenz Photography
Old Saybrook resident, Robert Lorenz, has played a leading role in the effort to save to 1,000 acres of forested land from development. Specifically, he has served as the "injured party" in a number of legal actions against those who wanted to developer the Preserve with private homes, golf courses, country clubs, parking lots, and "other improvements."
The reason that Lorenz has been able to play this role is that he is the co-owner of forty acres of land that abut the Preserve land. This gives him legal "standing" in court to assert that his personal property would be damaged by the various schemes put forward by the would-be private developers of the Preserve.
Lorenz is also a professional photographer, and to mark the recent agreement, whereby the Trust for Public Land will organized the purchase of the 1,000 acre Preserve property from River Sound Development, LLC, upon payment of $10-$11 million, he has made available for publication a striking aerial photograph of the undeveloped, forested Preserve.
In the aerial photograph that Lorenz took the general parameters of the Preserve can be made out. They include:
1) Very clearly, running along the bottom of the photograph one can see Route 153, sometimes called Plains Road and Westbrook Road. The vacant, forested land pictured above Route 153 marks the northern boundary of the Preserve.
2) As for the southern boundary of the Preserve property, it runs at the top of the photo, just below visible line developed property along the shoreline of Long Island Sound.
3) Very clear as well at the top left of the photo is the mouth of the Connecticut River, as flows into Long Island Sound.
4) Finally, in the midst of the forested land in the photo, there are two parallel lines, which are abandoned railroad tracks.

About The Secret in the Roses || Sims 2 VO Series
1: Please have a good quality microphone. I don't want to have a bunch of popping in the lines. It will disrupt the emersion and throw the audience (and me) off.
2: Try to use some program like Audacity to remove the background noise. Trust me, I know how awful it is to not get cast in something purely because there's too much background noise.
3: Accents are perfectly fine. None of the characters had one when I was imagining the series but I really wouldn't mind using somebody with an accent. Accents are really interesting, so why not?
4: Try to be dedicated if you get a part. I'm currently on summer vacation so it'll be pretty easy for me to be able to get episodes filmed and edited as well as posted, however it won't always be like that. So please try to bare with me through the series. It won't be too long. And I'll give fair deadlines for when the lines are due.
5: Have emotion. The characters of this series are going to be dealing with a lot of things, so you'll need to be able to scream, cry, laugh, and all things in between. However, don't overdo it. Make it believable.
6: Be okay with LGBT themes. There are quite a few characters who aren't straight. So, if you audition, please make sure you are fine with playing a character who possibly likes the same gender.
A simple rose left in front of your door with a meaningless-seeming note couldn't be all that dangerous seeming. Well, in this case, it means that you're in danger and are doomed to be killed. Is there any way to avoid this fate? Is it at all possible to discover the identity of this murderer and convince him or her to not kill you?
This Sims series follows August Denn over a span of about 3 months in which he undertakes about a dozen elaborate murders.
August Denn (Aw-guest Den)

0Paid Amount
LeadSignificance
Voice: Medium-Low Pitch
Description: August is the main character aka our murderer. He's basically a psychopath with a soft spot for his younger sister due to having to practically raise her himself both before and after his parents' deaths. He despised his parents' existence and while he's happy they are both gone, he's rather upset that he wasn't the one to end their lives. He is uninhibited, sly, secretive, a bit protective, influential, and obsessive.
Line 1: "This is what I always deserved. This is what I always imagined. The originals were already dead, but it wasn't at my hand. That pissed me off."
Line 2: "Blood. Death. Murder. These things always intrigued me. I could never figure out why."
Line 3: (frustrated) "Pathetic, lying bitch."

Kinsley Denn (Kins-lee Den)
FemaleGender
Voice: High-Medium Pitch
Description: Kinsley is August's younger sister who shares both the same parents with him. Ever since she was born August has felt a great need to protect her due to the nature of their father, thus making the two extremely close despite the fact that they are 12 years apart in age. And after the passing of both their parents, August took custody of her, practically raising her on his own her entire life. She is timid, helpful, sensitive, courteous, pleasant, and comforting.
Line 1: "August, you've been acting strange lately. What's wrong? Please tell me. I'm worried."
Line 2: (cheery) "Oh Hi Raelynn! Long time no see!"
Line 3: For this line just make choking noises, attempting to breathe. Her part requires a lot of this at one point. She needs emotion.
Teagan Denn (Tea-g-en Den)
SupportingSignificance
Description: Teagan is August's older sister who shares both the same parents with him. As soon as she turned 18 she left the house, leaving August and Kinsley alone with their father. This made August resent her as he felt that she just abandoned them and practically left them there to die. He never stopped feeling as though she only cared about herself. She is professional, self-sufficient, fearless, clever, knowledgeable, and a workaholic.
Line 1: "So August, Kinsley, how have you two been since I last saw you? Gosh, it's been years."
Line 2: (sincere) "August, I want you to know that I wanted to bring you two with me when I left. I wanted to so so badly, but I couldn't."
Line 3: (calling out) "I don't know who you are, but stop messing with me, got it? I don't have time for your bullshit!"
Silas Denn (Sigh-lus Den)
Description: Silas is August's older brother who shares both the same parents with him. Similar with Teagan, he left as soon as he turned 18. However, before leaving he gave August advice on how to make sure he and Kinsley stayed safe from Titus. He knew that Teagan would end up leaving them behind as well in a few years, so he wanted to make sure that August would know how to take good care of himself and Kinsley. This made August resent him much less, as he felt that Silas did actually care at least a little bit. He is soft-spoken, compassionate, merciful, encouraging, adventurous, and goofy.
Line 1: (confused) "What the hell..?"
Line 2: (cheery) "Damn, who gave you guys permission to grow up on me?"
Line 3: (awkwardly composing himself) "Oh.. Right, sorry. Sometimes I forget that you're not like... Little anymore."
Nala Keary (Nah-la Key-ree)
Description: Nala is one of the twins who caused Amelia's death. She and her twin sister Mira were both put into an orphanage after birth and ended up being adopted by separate families. Due to this, they have never met each other. Nala is well aware of the fact that she's adopted, however, she doesn't mind and she has no interest in searching for anything about her birth parents. She is sassy, blunt, pushy, overdramatic, uninterested, and spiteful.
Line 1: (snappy) "Listen, 'Sir'. My family and I aren't interested in your bullshit excuses. Please leave."
Line 2: (scared, emotional) "I'm sorry, okay?! I've never apologized to anyone. Please! Leave me alone!
Line 3: (calling out) "Yeah, I'll be out in a minute!"
Mira Paek (Me-ra Pay-k)
Description: Mira is one of the twins who caused Amelia's death. She and her twin sister Nala were both put into an orphanage after birth and ended up being adopted by separate families. Due to this, they have never met each other. Mira, while unaware of the fact that she was adopted by people she may have never met otherwise, is aware that her parents aren't her birth parents. However, she just believes they are some other relatives. She is awkward, quiet, naive, clumsy, ditzy, and happy.
Line 1: (a bit awkward) "Oh, nice to meet you August. My name is Mira."
Line 2: "Aw how sweet, somebody left roses for me."
Line 3: (slight confusion and disbelief) "My.. Demise? What?"
Eden Shesko (Ee-den Sh-eh-sko)
Description: Eden is one of Titus' children from a previous relationship. She was his final child before he settled down with Amelia. She and her brother Jett stayed with their mother after their parents split up, so they hardly had to endure any of the abuse that Titus was capable of dishing out. She is mature, poised, uptight, functional, put-together, and coordinated.
Line 1: (disgusted) "What kind of a sick joke is this?"
Line 2: (offended) "How dumb do you think I am? Stop with the pranks. Grow up!"
Line 3: "I don't even remember what my father looked like. The one thing that sticks in my memory is the fact that he was a straight up dick! I don't plan on regaining contact."
Jett Shesko (Jet Sh-eh-sko)
MiddleAgeAge
Voice: Low Pitch
Description: Jett is one of Titus' children from a previous marriage just like Eden. He was his first of two children in his final relationship before Amelia. He and his younger sister Eden stayed with their mother after their parents split up, so they hardly had to endure any of the abuse that Titus was capable of dishing out. He is guarded, instinctive, too trusting, impressionable, fearful, and broken.
Line 1: (defensive) "You can't just pop into my life saying you're my brother and expect me to trust you right away. For all I know you could be some crazy person who just got loose."
Line 2: "All I've got is my mom. She's the only person who hasn't abandoned me yet."
Line 3: (serious) "I have work, August. Leave me alone."
Journee Braden (Journey Braid-en)
Description: Journee is August's youngest half-sibling after Nala and Mira. Amelia kept her around in secret for 2 years until she discovered she was pregnant with Kinsley. Then, she knew she'd have to send her away so she put 2-year-old Journee into foster care in hopes she would be adopted. Luckily by the age of 3 Journee was adopted by a lovely lesbian couple. She was raised believing that being a lesbian was both the best and the most normal sexuality. She is a bit edgy, loud, a low-key bitch, bold, aggressive, and considered a misfit.
Line 1: "Is there something mentally wrong with you? People don't usually approach me. Look, if you're trying to fuck me I'd give up now. I'm about as straight as a rainbow."
Line 2: (yelling) "Hey you can come out of hiding now! You're really fucking funny! Such a creative prank giving the lesbian a bundle of roses."
Line 3: (sarcastic) "Yep, you're definitely the person I want to be talking to right now. Can't you find some other random girl in the street and say you're her brother?"
Henley Coleman (Hen-lee Coal-men)
Voice: Medium Pitch
Description: Henley is Hudson's twin sister as well as one of the first children born after August. She and Hudson's father had simply been feeling lonely and needed something when he hired Amelia, so when he heard from her that she was pregnant he was more than happy to take the twins and raise them. Henley and Hudson have been practically joined at the hip their entire lives so even after graduating college they are still living together. She is lively, carefree, daring, spontaneous, energetic, and quirky.
Line 1: (pleading and slightly teasing) "Come on Hudson! I thought you were brave!"
Line 2: (calling out) "Hey Hudson! Somebody left flowers for the both of us!"
Line 3: "Can we go out somewhere? Please, please, please? I wanna go for a walk like we used to! C'mon I know you remember how to get to that pond through the trail in the woods."
Hudson Coleman (Hut-sen Coal-men)
Description: Hudson is Henley's twin brother as well as one of the first children born after August. He and Henley's father had simply been feeling lonely and needed something when he hired Amelia, so when he heard from her that she was pregnant he was more than happy to take the twins and raise them. Henley and Hudson have been practically joined at the hip their entire lives so even after graduating college they are still living together. He is optimistic, bubbly, outgoing, brave, enthusiastic, and sincere.
Line 1: "I'm back... Hey, where did Henley go?"
Line 2: (angry and afraid) "I knew we shouldn't have come! You're crazy and fucked up August!"
Line 3: (terrified) "Henley! Answer me! Stop messing around!"
Nicholi Tolan (Nick-o-lie Toe-len)
EnglishAccent
Description: Nicholi is Titus' first child. Until Nicholi was born Titus was still a rather decent and kind man, however, his birth kind of threw him off the handle. Titus wasn't prepared for a child yet so he had a tendency to fight with Nicholi's mother in the hopes to convince her to get rid of Nicholi. When she refused Titus left. Nicholi never had to experience the abuse Titus was capable of but he also never ended up with a father figure in his life as his mother never married. He was raised by his mother alone, making him act a bit differently from other guys. He is a bit feminine, funny, kind, friendly, dorky, and charming.
Line 1: (mildly annoyed) "Yeah yeah, I'm actually 5 there's no way I'm 46. I got it. I've heard it all before."
Line 2: (politely) "Hello, ladies. Are you enjoying your food? Can I get you anything?"
Line 3: "I told you not to bother me at work, August. Can this wait?"
Raelynn Everette (Ray-lin Ever-et)
Description: Raelynn is August's younger half sister. She is one of the few who actually knows that Amelia was her mother. She was also rather close with August and Kinsley when they were little as her adoptive family lived down the street from them. However, as she got older she grew more and more introverted and much more anxious about being around people so she only really speaks with August and Kinsley if she runs into them by accident in the store or on the streets. She is lonely, imaginative, innocent, cautious, smart, and calm.
Line 1: (a bit nervous) "Oh, sorry. You must forgive me, I'm not very good at talking to people."
Line 2: (panicky) "Did you see who left these at my doorstep?! Please tell me you saw who it was!"
Line 3: "I don't know August... I mean we've hardly spoken in years and now you suddenly want to stay here for the night? Can't you stay with Silas or Teagan?"
Amelia Denn (Am-eel-ia Den)
Description: Amelia was married to Titus for 20 years during which he forced her into becoming a prostitute to make more money. This caused her to have an additional 6 kids besides the 4 they had together (August, Kinsley, Teagan, and Silas). All of these 6 kinds were rejected by Titus, thus causing them to be put into foster homes or forced into the lives of the fathers. Amelia passed away while giving birth to her last 2 children (twins Nala and Mira). She was caring, depressed, seductive, a bit fragile, used, and soothing.
Line 1: (defensive) "I'm doing this for you, honey. Stop treating me like an object! I'm a person!"
Line 2: "At least I'm making money unlike someone in this family!"
Line 3: (exhausted and apologetic) "You guys are gonna have to find something for dinner yourselves again, I'm sorry. I promise I'll cook actual dinner tomorrow."
Titus Denn (Tie-tus Den)
Description: Titus was Amelia's husband and August, Kinsley, Teagan, and Silas' father. He had 3 children (Nicholi, Eden, and Jett) in 2 previous relationships before finally settling with Amelia. He forced Amelia into prostituting herself because he didn't think they were making enough money. Titus passed away 5 years after Amelia due to alcohol poisoning. He was cynical, greedy, testy, manipulative, rude, and abusive.
Line 1: (kind of drunk) "What are you doing home you filthy whore?"
Line 2: "Aw how sweet. Little August here thinks he's some big tough guy that can protect his sister."
Line 3: For this line just mutter some random slurred sounding words and make yourself sound drunk. | {

Washington, D.C. – Wednesday, Congresswoman Aumua Amata congratulated Rep. Don Young of Alaska, the Dean of the House, and now the longest serving Republican in the history of the Congress.
Congresswoman Amata and Congressman Young met with the Samoan/Polynesian community in Alaska.
Congressman Young surpasses former Speaker of the House Joseph Cannon, who served 46 years, to become the longest serving Republican in history.
Last year, Rep. Young also became the longest serving current Member of the entire House of Representatives, making him the Dean of the House.
"American Samoa and Alaska share a number of the same legislative priorities based on the Pacific region, the fishing industry, our great geographic distance from the 48 contiguous states, and having remote areas far from services," concluded Amata.
For context on Congressman Young's historic service, the oldest House office building, situated across from the U.S. Capitol on Independence Avenue, is named for the late Speaker Cannon, whose historic record he is replacing. | {

Art, Art + Culture, Events
'Art & Soul Live' Showcases Community, Creativity Despite the Pandemic
Jasmine Osby
Driven by a desire to merge community and creative artistry, Bell Darris created Art & Soul seven years ago as an outlet for St. Louis artists to come together.
A diverse event showcasing some of the best musical, cultural and artistic talent the city has to offer, the Art & Soul Live Exhibit invaded the Third Degree Glass Factory on October 18; filling the venue with imagination, passion and influence.
"I know so many dope artists and amazing people who want to come together no matter what," Darris said. "I keep this going for the artists because we need this outlet."
Darris, an award-winning creative and violinist, started Art & Soul in 2013 as a platform for guests to live in the present moment and appreciate the talents of creative entrepreneurs residing in St. Louis. Guests enjoyed an eclectic array of entertainment throughout the night including musical performances from Darris herself, T-Dubb O, Bo Dean, and FiFi Writes, live caricature drawings, fire dancers, and live paintings.
Hosted by Louis Conphliction and Innergy, Art & Soul also provided a space for visual artists to display and sell their art; an opportunity that is seldomly allotted to local artists.
"Art is a slow moving business," said Anthea Winston, one of the event's featured artists. "It's not fast paced. So these events give us a chance to broadcast our products and services and for people to see it and buy."
Winston's brand, Art Is Life By Thea, depicts a non-uniformed, anti traditional art style that is infectious to those who embrace it. Although she has been dabbling in art her entire life, she started taking her craft seriously in 2016. Since then, art has become not only a source of income but also self therapy.
Featured artist Jason Berry agrees with Winston, saying that creating art helped him as he battled Stage 4 Colon Cancer.
"Art was beyond therapy because I was able to express how I was feeling without words, because I'm not a very vocal person, but with my artwork, I can tell you a story," Berry said.
Not only did Art & Soul provide a space for artists to gain notoriety and exposure, but Berry said it also was a chance for event attendees to tap into their inner creativity.
"Everybody has an art side to them," he said. "It's just about letting them express it and this is the perfect place to do it."
A creator of abstract art, Eric Wilson was a participant during the first Art & Soul event in 2013. This year, he painted live throughout the event and was excited to be working with Darris again. Wilson said he is motivated by the growth of Art & Soul over the past seven years and the momentum will continue to grow for local artists if they join together.
"Not often do we have large audiences but collectively, if we bring our smaller audiences together, that definitely will bring awareness to all we have to offer," Wilson said.
Despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, guests were able to mingle, enjoy great food and take advantage of the incredible art being showcased. There was a sanitation station at the entrance of the venue as well as a basket of free masks so everyone could network while practicing social distancing. All guests were temperature screened upon arrival to ensure everyone's safety.
In addition to art and entertainment, guests were able to shop with a plethora of locally owned, retail vendors with everything from jewelry and clothing to handbags and skincare products.
Kisha Winston, owner of The WoKE Brand, served as a vendor, performing poet and participated in the fashion show for this year's event. Like the other participants, Kisha said that community is the lifeline of the St. Louis art community and events like Art & Soul prove that you don't have to leave St. Louis to find good entertainment and art.
"It all starts with community first," she said. "And this is the platform where we're able to share talent, see local talent and highlight local talent right here in our own city."
What Darris created seven years ago has evolved into a cataclysm of creativity and life. Laughter erupted throughout the room as the witty hosts kept the evening rolling all night long and guests roared with excitement as Darris' melodic violin solo's filled the venue. At the end of the night, everyone left knowing that, despite the obstacles this year has brought, art and beauty still surrounds us all.
"There is art out here," Berry said. "There is beauty out here, creativity and imagination."

Saving History at Mill Neck–Remembering a Rosenwald School

Residents of the Hertford County community of Como are hoping to stall nature and time from doing further damage to a symbol of their proud–but segregated–past. In the mid-1920s African-Americans in Como raised $200 toward the construction of a two-room school house. With an additional $700 from the Rosenwald Fund and $2745 from Hertford County officials, the Mill Neck School was completed in 1927 and provided instruction for African-Americans through 8th grade for about 35 years.
Mill Neck was one of 12 African-American schools in Hertford County built with money from the Rosenwald Fund, a philanthropic effort supported by Julius Rosenwald. One of the owners of Sears, Roebuck and Company, Rosenwald provided financial support to a wide variety of causes. But after meeting Booker T. Washington in 1911, he became focused on improving black education in the South. Rosenwald and Washington hoped not only to improve black school facilities, but also to promote black-white cooperation. The Rosenwald Fund school building initiative provided only seed funds for school construction. African-Americans and county officials (usually white) were also expected to contribute money for construction.
From 1912 to 1937, the Rosenwald Fund supported the construction of more than 5,300 schools, teacher homes and workshops for African-Americans in the South. According to Charlotte historian Tom Hanchett, more than 800 facilities were built in the Old North State alone, making North Carolina home to the greatest number of Rosenwald Schools. In 2002 the National Trust for Historic Preservation added the South's remaining Rosenwald schools to its list of most endangered places. Scholars and others will mark the 100th anniversary of the Rosenwald school building initiative at Tuskegee University next June.

The Mill Neck School is one example of the effects that weather and time have had on the structures. The building, now owned by Mill Neck Missionary Baptist Church, was already in need of repair when Hurricane Irene damaged its roof in August. Church and community members, many with limited incomes are now struggling to find a way to restore the structure and turn it into a agricultural museum and rural education center. Filmmaker Caroline Stephenson, a Hertford County native, is hoping to document the community's efforts to save the building.

Christopher Hitchens, Jesse Helms and Kim Jong Whatever
"…What about the hearings on North Korea in which he made repeated references to 'Kim Jong the Second'? In order to prevent any repetition of this idiotic gaffe, Helms' staff propped up a piece of card on which was clearly written the pronunciation 'Kim Jong ILL.' The senator from North Carolina duly made the adjustment, referring thenceforth to the North Korean despot as 'Kim Jong the Third.' "
— From the late polemicist Christopher Hitchens' obituary on Jesse Helms (Slate magazine, July 7, 2008)

Q: Value changes on scroll UITableView I have a UITableView with a button in that's toggled depending on whether a user 'favorites' a post or not. Everything works well, except for when the table view is scrolled, the button changes. Here's my code:
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
guard let feed = self.feed else {
return 0
}
return feed.count
}
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
if feed!.count > 9 {
if indexPath.row == feed!.count - 1 {
self.loadMorePosts()
}
}
if hasImageAtIndexPath(indexPath) {
return imageCellAtIndexPath(indexPath)
} else {
return basicCellAtIndexPath(indexPath)
}
}
func hasImageAtIndexPath(indexPath:NSIndexPath) -> Bool {
let post = self.feed?[indexPath.row]
if post?.image?.isEmpty == false {
return true
}
return false
}
func imageCellAtIndexPath(indexPath:NSIndexPath) -> PostCellImage {
let cell:PostCellImage = self.tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("imageCell", forIndexPath: indexPath) as! PostCellImage
if let post = self.feed?[indexPath.row] {
let likedPost = post.hasFavorited
if likedPost == true {
if let favoriteCount = post.favoriteCount {
let count = String(favoriteCount)
cell.likeButton.setTitle(count, forState: .Normal)
cell.likeButton.setImage(UIImage(named: "liked"), forState: .Normal)
cell.likeButton.setTitleColor(UIColorFromRGB("A61224"), forState: .Normal)
cell.likeButton.addTarget(self, action: "unfavoritePost:", forControlEvents: UIControlEvents.TouchUpInside)
cell.likeButton.tag = post.id!
}
} else {
if let favoriteCount = post.favoriteCount {
let count = String(favoriteCount)
cell.likeButton.setTitle(count, forState: .Normal)
cell.likeButton.addTarget(self, action: "favoritePost:", forControlEvents: UIControlEvents.TouchUpInside)
cell.likeButton.tag = post.id!
}
}
}
return cell
}
Favorited Posts Array
var favoritedPosts = [Int]()
Table View
if let likedPost = post.hasFavorited {
if likedPost == true {
self.favoritedPosts.append(indexPath.row)
print(self.favoritedPosts)
}
}
if self.favoritedPosts.contains(indexPath.row) {
let count = String(post.favoriteCount)
cell.likeButton.setTitle(count, forState: .Normal)
cell.likeButton.setImage(UIImage(named: "liked"), forState: .Normal)
cell.likeButton.setTitleColor(UIColorFromRGB("A61224"), forState: .Normal)
cell.likeButton.addTarget(self, action: "unfavoritePost:", forControlEvents: UIControlEvents.TouchUpInside)
cell.likeButton.tag = post.id!
} else {
let count = String(post.favoriteCount)
cell.likeButton.setTitle(count, forState: .Normal)
cell.likeButton.addTarget(self, action: "favoritePost:", forControlEvents: UIControlEvents.TouchUpInside)
cell.likeButton.tag = post.id!
}
A: This might be cased by the table view cell reuse. It turns out that your code set the likeButton.image when the post is a favorited post but did not remove the image when the post is not a favorited one. So when the first time each cell is loaded into tableView every thing works fine. However, when scrolling the tableView, when those cells with favorite image set moves out of the screen area, they will be reused for the cell scrolling in. Thus if this kind of cell is reused by a post that is even not favorited, the image will still be there.
There is a prepareForReuse method for UITableViewCell, it gives you the chance to reset the contents before a cell is being reused.
A: In your UITableViewCell PostCellImage subclass you should override prepeareForReuse function - to turn cell to default mode.
Swift:
override func prepareForReuse() {
super.prepareForReuse()
//set cell to initial state here
//set like button to initial state - title, font, color, etc.
}
A: *
*You need to completely reset the appearance for normal case here.
*Reason is you can't be sure which state of the button you get when
cells are reused.
*When you receive a dequeued cell, it might have a
button with 'liked'/'not-liked' state.
*Completing the appearance with two commented out lines in the else clause will resolve your problem.
if self.favoritedPosts.contains(indexPath.row) {
let count = String(post.favoriteCount)
cell.likeButton.setTitle(count, forState: .Normal)
cell.likeButton.setImage(UIImage(named: "liked"), forState: .Normal)
cell.likeButton.setTitleColor(UIColorFromRGB("A61224"), forState: .Normal)
cell.likeButton.addTarget(self, action: "unfavoritePost:", forControlEvents: UIControlEvents.TouchUpInside)
cell.likeButton.tag = post.id!
} else {
let count = String(post.favoriteCount)
cell.likeButton.setTitle(count, forState: .Normal)
// Uncomment these two lines and add proper values for image / color to resolve your problem
// cell.likeButton.setImage(UIImage(named: "not-liked-yet"), forState: .Normal)
// cell.likeButton.setTitleColor(UIColorFromRGB("A67832"), forState: .Normal)
cell.likeButton.addTarget(self, action: "favoritePost:", forControlEvents: UIControlEvents.TouchUpInside)
cell.likeButton.tag = post.id!
}
Hope this helps.
A: You can try prepareForReuse or try to set unlike image in the case likedPost == false

Ever since I started reading Wittgenstein as an undergraduate I have been fascinated by the power of words to invoke and create meanings and, ultimately, reality. One of the few quotes that has stayed with me over the years is his simple but beautiful statement "words have meaning only in the stream of life". This places understanding of ourselves and each other in the public realm, in the stream of life, and dispels any illusion that there is a hidden mental process going on which we cannot know in the activity of understanding. Rather than being a mental state, understanding must itself be understood in the life history of any speaker.
Living in a public world we arrive at shared understandings of the world, invent and represent new meanings and in the process co-create reality. We narrate our existence and this narration in itself affects the outcome of the story we tell. Thoughts are structured by the way we arrange words – thought processes are so intimately linked to words (symbols/signs) that one is tempted to equate the two. In a long standing debate with one of my closest friends this equation has been hotly contested; he is a musician and contends that not all thought is mere symbolic representation and that form plays a crucial role as well.
Leaving any conclusion as to the definitive nature of thought open, I am nevertheless continually surprised about the power of words to create reality. Anthropologist Misia Landau puts it this way "language is not merely a device for communicating ideas about the world, but rather a tool for bringing the world into existence in the first place. Reality is not simply experienced or reflected in language but is instead actually produced by language – a tale that becomes true as it is told". If you think this might sound a little extreme, listen out.
If you have checked out the audio room over at the library you know that I am a great fan of Radiolab (editorial note: the library will be expanded very soon). In their "Words" episode, Radiolab explores the world without words. In interviews with Susan Schaller and Ann Senghas we get an understanding of what the world is like for deaf people who have never learnt sign language – words do indeed create the world. Charles Fernyhough argues that most children below six years old don't actually think in the way we normally understand the word and James Shapiro explains how Shakespeare actually created new ways of seeing the world through the invention of new words.
What fascinated me the most however, was the story of Jill Bolte Taylor. She is a brain scientist who had the, according to her, fortune to experience having a stroke and witnessing her own brain slowly shutting down. She describes how she switched between having an understanding of what was happening and slowly being paralysed. In this process she had the profound experience of not only being Jill Bolte Taylor but also being so incredibly large that she encompassed the entirety of existence. Asked whether she'd prefer to be Jill (with manual dexterity) or the universe (paralysed and unable to distinguish or name separate objects) she doesn't know what she'd choose.
Jill also gave a TED talk which you will find here. She argues that it is possible for all of us to be both persons with a name and a life history and "the life force power of the universe". All we have to do is to shut off the constant background chatter. I highly recommend you check it out. And when we return from the silence where there are no boundaries maybe we should choose our words with care.
We might just be creating a different reality. | {

Some years ago, a good friend was asked by The Paris Review to conduct one of their long interviews with a much older, much venerated writer. She's done her best work, said the Review editor, so it's time to interview her.
I was not yet old myself when I heard the story, but it stayed with me, a sort of memento mori with its sweeping surety, the surety of a dairy farmer surveying his cows with dog food in mind. Would such an editor, I wondered, have fingered Yeats during what might have been considered a career lull? Before, say, he came to his wonderful poems of old age?
Lynn Freed, recipient of the inaugural Katherine Anne Porter Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters and as well as two PEN/O. Henry Awards, was born in Durban, South Africa. Among her published works are seven novels, including Home Ground, The Servants' Quarters, and The Last Laugh (Sarah Crichton, 2017); the story collection The Curse of the Appropriate Man; and the essay collections Reading, Writing, and Leaving Home and The Romance of Elsewhere (Counterpoint, 2017). Freed lives in Northern California. | {

This is a reference for installing Gentoo Linux on the Dell OptiPlex GX280 computer. It is currently incomplete, but will be extended as the installation progresses.
Sound may be supported in the Kernel (version 2.6.20-gentoo-r8) but I found it easier to emerge alsa-driver. Of course that means you must have loadable module support in your kernel and you must remove ALSA.
You may leave OSS if you do not require that backward compatility (of course) I use it for VMware. Once you have made these changes.

Antarctica, a 40-minute feature film on the continent, animals and the scientists who work there, is available on streaming video from Hulu.com.
We're still trying to work out how to embed a player inside this here blog, but in the meantime, you can check out the sounds of Travel Dynamics International's world on Blip.fm! You'll find ancient Malian songs, traditional sea shanties, Greek folk songs, South African choral works, and a great deal more. It's the soundtrack to your voyages.
Wakeboard. Hang ten, dude! From the marvelous website News:Lite – It Barely Qualifies as News, we receive the heroic story of Duncan Zuur, who has now fulfilled his life's ambition of wakeboarding across St. Mark's Square. I'm not sure it's really worth your while to watch the video; suffice to say that he attaches a motorized winch to one end of the piazza, straps his wakeboard to his feet, and zips along past the arcades of the Doge's Palace carving s-curves in the floodwaters.
Hey, the authorities are urging tourists to stay away for the moment. This is the best we could do.
The drug, tasimelteon, works by mimicking the effects of the naturally occurring hormone melatonin, which has long been identified as the regulator of the body's sleep and wake patterns. In Phase II and III clinical trials of 450 people who were subjected to simulated jet lag in a sleep laboratory (participants were forced to go to bed at 6 p.m. and wake up at 2 a.m.), a team from Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston found that the new drug restored near normal sleep the first night it was used.
One reason why we do what we do.
Travel has a way of stretching the mind. The stretch comes not from travel's immediate rewards, the inevitable myriad new sights, smells and sounds, but with experiencing firsthand how others do differently what we believed to be the right and only way. | {

\section{Introduction}
\section{Invariant subspaces}
Let $ \lambda $ be an eigenvalue of a complex $n \times n$ matrix
$A$ and let
\[
E _{ \lambda }(A) = \mathop{\mathrm{Ker}}\nolimits ( A - \lambda I) ^n
\]
be the corresponding generalized eigenspace.
Suppose \,
$ \dim E _{ \lambda }(A) = k $. If
\[
( s - \lambda ) ^{t_1}, \, \dots \, , ( s - \lambda ) ^{t_k}, \,\, \,
t_1 \leq \cdots \leq t_k ,
\]
are the corresponding elementary divisors
then \,$E _{ \lambda }(A) $
is a direct sum of $t_i$-dimensional
cyclic subspaces,
i.e.
\[
E _{ \lambda }(A) = K_1 \oplus \cdots \oplus K_k
\]
with
\begin{equation} \label{eq.jch}
K_i
=
{\rm{span}} \bigl\{ u_i, \, ( A - \lambda I)u_i,
\, \dots , ( A - \lambda I) ^{ t_i -1 } u_i \bigr\} ,
\end{equation}
and \,$ ( A - \lambda I) ^{ t_i} u_i = 0$, \,
$ i= 1,\dots , k$ .
We call \begin{equation} \label{eq.uu}
U = ( u_1, \dots , u_k )
\end{equation}
a tuple of \emph{generators} of
$ E _{ \lambda }(A) $.
From a given $U$ one can construct
$A$-invariant subspaces
in the following way.
Let $r = (r_1, \dots , r_k )$ be such that
\begin{equation} \label{eq.co1}
0 \, \leq \, r_i \, < \, t_i , \, \, i = 1, \dots ,k .
\end{equation}
We set
\begin{equation} \label{eq.ri}
W_{r_i} (U) = {\rm{span}} \bigl\{
( A - \lambda I)^{r_i}u_i, \, ( A - \lambda I) ^{r_i +1}u_i, \,
\dots , ( A - \lambda I) ^{t_i -1} u_i \bigr\}
\end{equation}
and
\begin{equation} \label{eq.dis}
W(r,U) \, = \,
W_{r_1}(U) \, \oplus \, \cdots \, \oplus \, W_{r_k}(U) .
\end{equation}
The construction of invariant subspaces
of the from $W(r,U)$
is a standard procedure in linear algebra and systems theory
(see e.g. \cite{Ku}, \cite[p.61]{GLR0}, \cite{Fr}, \cite{RR},
\cite[p.28]{BEGO}).
If $U$ and $\tilde{U}$ are two different tuples of generators of
$ E _{ \lambda }(A) $ then the restrictions of $A$ to $W(r,U)$
and $ W(r, \tilde{U})$ have the same elementary divisors,
namely
$ (s- \lambda) ^{t_i- r_i}$, $ i = 1, \dots ,k$.
However,
in general, the subspaces
$ W(r,U) $ and $ W(r, \tilde{U})$ will be different.
Consider the following example with
$k= 2$, $t_1= 2$, $t_2 = 3$, and
\begin{equation} \label{eq.mtr}
A = \mathop{\mathrm{diag}}\nolimits (N_2, N_3),
\,
N_2 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 & 1 \\ 0 & 0
\end{pmatrix}\!,
\,
N_3 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 & 1 & 0
\\
0 & 0 & 1 \\
0 & 0 & 0
\end{pmatrix}\!.
\end{equation}
Let $e_i$
be a unit vector of ${\mathbb{C}}^5$.
Then
$U = \{ e_2 , e_5 \}$ and
$ \tilde{U} = \{ e_2, e_5 + e_2 \} $ are tuples of generators of
$E_0(A) = \mathop{\mathrm{Ker}}\nolimits A^5 = {\mathbb{C}}^5$.
If we choose \,$ r = (1,0) $, then
$ W(r,U)
= {\rm{span}} \{ e_1, e_3, e_4, e_5 \} $
and $ W(r, \tilde{U})
=
{\rm{span}} \{e_1, e_3 , e_4 + e_1, e_5 + e_2 \}$.
Thus
\begin{equation} \label{eq.uuti}
W(r,U) \neq W(r, \tilde{U}).
\end{equation}
On the other hand, if we choose \,$ r = (1,2) $, then
\begin{equation} \label{eq.sm}
W(r,U) = W(r, \tilde{U}).
\end{equation}
It is the purpose of our note to determine those
tuples $r = ( r_1, \dots , r_k)$
which have the property that the space
$ W(r,U) $ given by \eqref{eq.ri} and \eqref{eq.dis}
is independent of the generator tuple $U$.
The motivation for our study comes from
Kucera's survey article \cite{Ku}, which
deals with independence of generator tuples in
the case of Hamiltonian matrices.
In Section \ref{sec.app}
we make the connection with \cite[p.60]{Ku}
applying a corollary of our main theorem
to Hamiltonian matrices and algebraic Riccati
equations.
In the sequel we
assume that $\lambda = 0 $
is an eigenvalue of $A$ and we
focus on $E_0(A) = \mathop{\mathrm{Ker}}\nolimits A ^n $.
With each nonzero vector $v \in E _{0}(A)$
we associate a {\emph{height}} $ \mathop{ \mathrm{h} {} }\nolimits (v)$ and an {\emph{exponent}} $ \mathop{ \mathrm{e} {} }\nolimits (v)$
as follows.
Suppose
\[
v \in \mathop{\mathrm{Im}}\nolimits A^q, \, v \notin
\mathop{\mathrm{Im}}\nolimits A ^{q +1}, \,\,
v \in \mathop{\mathrm{Ker}}\nolimits A ^p, \,
v \notin \mathop{\mathrm{Ker}}\nolimits A ^{p-1}.
\]
Then we set
$ \mathop{ \mathrm{h} {} }\nolimits (v) = q$ and $ \mathop{ \mathrm{e} {} }\nolimits (v) = p$.
Thus, if $ \lambda = 0 $ in \eqref{eq.jch}
then the elements of $U$ in \eqref{eq.uu}
satisfy
$ \mathop{ \mathrm{e} {} }\nolimits (u_1) = t_1 \leq \cdots \leq \mathop{ \mathrm{e} {} }\nolimits (u_k) = t_k$\,
and $ \mathop{ \mathrm{h} {} }\nolimits (u_i) = 0$.
We define
\[
\langle v \rangle = {\rm{span}} \{ A ^{ \nu } v, \nu \geq 0 \}.
\]
Then $ \langle v \rangle $
is a cyclic subspace generated by
$v$, and \,$\dim \langle v \rangle = \mathop{ \mathrm{e} {} }\nolimits (v) $.
\section{The main result}
\begin{theorem} \label{thm.mn}
Let
$A \in {\mathbb{C}}^{n \times n} $
and let
\begin{equation} \label{eq.elth}
s^{ t_1 }, \dots , s^{ t_k }, \,
t_1 \leq \cdots \leq t_k ,
\end{equation}
be the
elementary divisors corresponding to the eigenvalue $\lambda = 0$.
Let
\[
U = (u_1, \dots , u_k )
\]
be a tuple of generators of
$E_0(A) = \mathop{\mathrm{Ker}}\nolimits A^n$
such that
\, $
\mathop{ \mathrm{e} {} }\nolimits (u_i) = t_i$, $i = 1, \dots , k$,
and
\[
E_0(A) = \langle u_1 \rangle \, \oplus \, \cdots \,
\oplus \,
\langle u_k\rangle .
\]
Let \,$ r = ( r_1, \dots , r_k) $ be a $k$-tuple of integers
with \,$ 0 \leq r_i < t_i$, $i = 1, \dots , k$.
Define
\begin{equation} \label{eq.agn}
W(r,U)
=
\langle A ^{r_1} u_1 \rangle \, \oplus \, \cdots \,
\oplus \,
\langle A ^{r_k} u_k \rangle
\end{equation}
and
\begin{equation} \label{eq.wr}
W(r) = \bigl(\mathop{\mathrm{Im}}\nolimits A ^{r_1} \cap \mathop{\mathrm{Ker}}\nolimits A^{t_1 - r_1} \bigr)
+
\cdots + \bigl(\mathop{\mathrm{Im}}\nolimits A ^{r_k} \cap \mathop{\mathrm{Ker}}\nolimits A^{t_k - r_k} \bigr).
\end{equation}
Then the following statements are equivalent:
\\
{\rm{(i)}}
The $k$-tuple $r = ( r_1, \cdots , r_k) $
satisfies
\begin{equation} \label{eq.rmo}
r_1 \leq \cdots \leq r_k,
\end{equation}
and
\begin{equation} \label{eq.df}
t_1 - r_1 \leq \cdots \leq t _k - r_k.
\end{equation}
{\rm{(ii)}}
The space
$ W(r,U) $
is independent of \,$U$.\\
Moreover, if \eqref{eq.rmo} and \eqref{eq.df} hold then
\,$W(r,U) = W(r)$.
\end{theorem}
\medskip
\noindent Proof.
(i) $\Rightarrow$ (ii).
We show that
\eqref{eq.rmo} and \eqref{eq.df}
imply
$ W(r,U) = W(r)$.
Define
\,$
W_{r_s}(U) = \langle A ^ { r_s } u_s \rangle $
such that \eqref{eq.dis} holds.
From
\[
W_{r_s} (U) \subseteq
\mathop{\mathrm{Im}}\nolimits A ^{r_s}\, \cap \, \mathop{\mathrm{Ker}}\nolimits A^{t_s - r_s}
\]
we immediately obtain $ W(r,U) \subseteq W(r) $.
Now let
$ x $ be in $\mathop{\mathrm{Im}}\nolimits A ^{r_s} \cap \mathop{\mathrm{Ker}}\nolimits A^{t_s - r_s} $.
Then
\, $ x = A ^{r_s} y$ \, for some \, $ y \in E_0(A)$,
and
\begin{equation} \label{eq.zro}
A^{t_s - r_s} x = A^ {t_s} y = 0.
\end{equation}
With respect to the basis
\begin{equation} \label{eq.mclb}
\mathcal{B} _U
=
\{A^{\nu_i}u_i; \, 0 \leq \nu _i \leq t_i -1 , \,
i = i, \dots , k \}
\end{equation}
we have
\[ y
=
\sum _{i = 1}^ k \, \sum _{\nu_i = 0} ^{t_i -1}
\,
\alpha _{i \nu _i} A^{ \nu_i } u_i .
\]
Let $\ell$ be the
largest integer sucht that \,$t_{ \ell } \leq t_s$.
Then $ A^{ t_s} u_i = 0$ for \, $i = 1, \dots,
\mbox{$\ell$}$.
Moreover
$ A^{ t_s + \nu _i } u_i = 0 $ if $ t_s + \nu _i >
t_i $.
Therefore
\[
A^{ t_s} y =
\sum _{i > \ell}
\, \sum _{\nu _i = 0} ^{ t_i - t_s -1}
\,
\alpha _{i \nu _i } A^{ t_s + \nu _i } u_i = 0.
\]
Since the vectors of $\mathcal{B}_U$
are linearly independent we obtain
\, $\alpha _{i \nu _i} = 0$ for $i > \ell$
and
\, $ \nu _i = 0, \dots , t_i - t_s -1 $. Hence
\[
y
=
\sum _{i = 1}^ {\ell } \, \sum _{\nu _i = 0}
^{ t_i -1}
\alpha _{i \nu _i }
A^{ \nu _i } u_i \,
+ \,
\sum _{i > \ell}
\sum _{\nu _i = t_i - t_s } ^{t_i -1}
\alpha _{i \nu _i }
A^{ \nu _i } u_i
\]
and
\[
x
=
\sum _{i = 1}^ {\ell} \, \sum _{\nu _i = 0}
^{ t_i -1}
\alpha _{i \nu _i }
A^{ r_s + \nu _i } u_i \,
+ \,
\sum _{i > \ell}
\sum _{\nu _i = t_i - t_s } ^{t_i -1}
\alpha _{i \nu _i }
A^{r_s + \nu _i } u_i.
\]
Note that
$ t_s = \cdots = t_{\ell} $
implies $ r_s = \cdots = r_{\ell}.$
Hence,
if \,$ 1 \leq i \leq \ell$ then
$ r_i \leq r_s $, and therefore
\begin{equation} \label{eq.dp}
A^{ r_s + \nu _i } u_i \in W_{r_i} (U).
\end{equation}
On the other hand, if
\,
$i > \ell $ %
then
$t_s - r_s \leq t_i - r_i$.
In that case
$ \nu _i \in
\{ t_i - t_s, \dots , t_i -1 \} $
implies
\[
r_s + \nu _i \geq r_s + (t_i - t_s) \geq r_i.
\]
Thus, we again have \eqref{eq.dp}.
Hence $x \in W(r,U)$ and therefore $ W(r) \subseteq W(r,U)$.
\begin{comment}
(ii) $\Rightarrow$ (i).
Let
\begin{equation} \label{eq.mclb}
\mathcal{B} _U
=
\{A^{\nu_i}u_i; \, 0 \leq \nu _i \leq t_i -1 , \,
i = i, \dots , k \}
\end{equation}
be the Jordan basis of $E_0(A)$ corresponding to $U$.
Suppose
$ V = (
v_{1}, \dots , v_{k } )$
is another tuple of generators of $ E_{0} (A)$ satisfying
$ \mathop{ \mathrm{e} {} }\nolimits (v_i) = t_i$.
It suffices to show that
the generators \, $ A ^{r_1} v_1 , \dots , A ^{r_k} v_k $
of $ W(r,V) $ are
contained in $ W(r,U) $.
Consider the vector
\begin{equation} \label{eq.licb}
A ^{r_s} v_s
=
\sum _{i = 1} ^k \sum_{ \nu_{i} = 0 }^{t_i -1 }
\alpha _{ i \nu_{i} }
A ^{ \nu_{i} } u_i
\end{equation}
with
$ \mathop{ \mathrm{h} {} }\nolimits ( A ^{r_s} v_s ) = r_s$.
The fact that
is $\mathcal{B}_U $ is a Jordan basis implies
(see e.g.~\cite{Bru})
\[
{\mathrm{h}} \Bigl( \sum _{i = 1} ^k
\sum_{ \nu_{i} = 0 }^{ t_i -1}
\alpha _{ i \nu_{i} }
A ^{ \nu_{i} } u_i \Bigr)
=
\min \{
\nu_{i}
; \, 0 \leq \nu_{i} \leq t_i -1 , \,
1 \leq i \leq k, \,
\alpha _{ i \nu_{i} } \neq 0 \}.
\]
Thus we have
\begin{equation} \label{eq.if}
\nu_i \geq r_s \quad {\rm{if}}
\quad \alpha _{ i \nu_{i} } \neq 0.
\end{equation}
Let
$\ell$ be the greatest integer such that
$ r_{\ell} \leq r_s $.
Set
\[
w =
\sum _{i = 1} ^{\ell}
\sum_{ \nu_{i} = r_s }^{ t_i -1}
\alpha _{ i \nu_{i} }
A ^{ \nu_{i} } u_i,
\]
and
\begin{equation} \label{eq.zwy}
y = \sum _{i = \ell + 1} ^{k}
\sum_{ \nu_{i} = r_s }^{ t_i -1}
\alpha _{ i \nu_{i} }
A ^{ \nu_{i} } u_i \,\,\, {\rm{if}} \,\,\, \ell < k,
\end{equation}
and \,$ y = 0 $\, if \,$ \ell = k $.
Because of \eqref{eq.if} we can write \eqref{eq.licb}
as \,$ A^{r_s} v_s = w + y$.
We shall see that both $w$ and $y$ are in $W(r,U)$.
If \, $\alpha _{ i \nu_{i} } \neq 0$ then it follows
from \eqref{eq.rmo} and \eqref{eq.if}
that
\begin{equation} \label{eq.llu}
\nu_i \, \geq \, r_{\ell} \, = \, \cdots \, =
\, r_s \, \geq \, r_{s-1} \,
\geq \, \cdots \, \geq \, r_1,
\end{equation}
and we see that
$ w \in W(r,U) $.
Now suppose $ \ell < k $.
From
\, $
A^{t_s - r_s} A^{r_s} v_s = 0 $ \,
follows
\begin{equation} \label{eq.awy}
A^{t_s - r_s} w + A^{t_s - r_s} y = 0 .
\end{equation}
Because of \eqref{eq.if}
we have
\[
t_s - r_s + \nu _i \geq t_s \quad {\rm{if}} \quad
\alpha _{ i \nu_{i} } \neq 0 .
\]
Note that \eqref{eq.llu} yields \,$ A^{t_s} u_i = 0$,
for $i = 1, \dots , \ell $. Therefore
\,$ A^{t_s - r_s + \nu _i} u_i = 0$.
Hence
\, $
A^{t_s - r_s} w = 0 $.
Thus \eqref{eq.awy} yields
\[
A^{ t_s - r_s } y
=
\sum _{i = \ell +1} ^{k} \,
\sum_{ \nu_{i} = r_s }^{ t_i -1}
\alpha _{ i \nu_{i} }
A ^{ t_s - r_s + \nu_{i} } u_i
= 0.
\]
The vectors of $\mathcal{B}_U$
are linearly independent. Hence, if
$ \alpha _{ i \nu_{i} } \neq 0 $,
then we have
$ A ^{ t_s - r_s + \nu_{i} } u_i
= 0$, or equivalently,
\,$ t_s - r_s + \nu_{i} \geq \mathop{ \mathrm{e} {} }\nolimits (u_i) = t_i $.
Thus
\begin{equation} \label{eq.ung}
( t_s - r_s) \, + \, ( \nu_{i} - r_i ) \, \geq \, t_i - r_i .
\end{equation}
From \eqref{eq.df}
follows
\,$
t_i - r_i \geq t_s - r_s
$\,
for $i = \ell +1, \dots , k$.
Hence \eqref{eq.ung} yields $ \nu_{i} \geq r_i $
in \eqref{eq.zwy}, which implies $y \in W(r,U)$.
\end{comment}
\medskip
\noindent
(ii) $\Rightarrow$ (i).
We assume that $ W(r,U)$ is independent of $U$.
Let us show first that
\begin{equation} \label{eq.co2}
r_i = r_j \,\,\, {\rm{if}} \,\,\, t_i = t_j.
\end{equation}
Suppose \,$r = (r_1, \dots , r_k) $ is such that
\,$ t_s = t _{s+1}$ and
\,$r_{s} \neq r _{s+1}$,
e.g.
\begin{equation} \label{eq.sptt}
r_{s+1} < r _{s} \,\,\, {\rm{for \,\, some}} \,\,\,
s \in \{1, \dots , k-1 \}.
\ee
Let
\,$ V = (v_1, \dots , v_k) $
be such that
\,$(v_ {s}, v _{s+1 } ) = (u _{s+1 }, u_{s})$,
and \,$v_i = u_i$ if $i \notin \{s, s +1 \}$.
Then
$A ^{ r_{s+1 } } u_{s+1} \in W(r,U)$
but
$ A ^{ r_{s+1 } } u_{s+1} = A ^{ r_{s+1 } }v_{s} \notin W(r, V)$.
Therefore the tuples
$U $ and $V$ contain the same elements, but
$ W(r,U) \neq W(r, V )$.
Now suppose that \eqref{eq.rmo} is not satisfied.
Then
we have \eqref{eq.sptt}, and
\begin{equation} \label{eq.wzv}
A ^ { r_{s+1} } u _{s} \notin W(r,U) .
\end{equation}
Let $V = (v_1, \dots , v_k )$
be given by
\, $ v_{s+1} = u _{s+1} + u _{s} $, and $ v_i = u_i $, if
$i \neq s+1$.
Thus $V$ is
a tuple of generators of $ E_{0}(A) $ with
$ \mathop{ \mathrm{e} {} }\nolimits (v_i) = \mathop{ \mathrm{e} {} }\nolimits (u _i)$.
Consider
\[
A ^ { r_{s+1} } u _{s+1}
+
A ^ { r_{s+1} } u _{s } \, =
\, A ^ { r_{s+1} } v_{s+1} \, \in \, W(r,V).
\]
Then $ A ^ { r_{s+1} } v_{s+1} \notin W(r,U) $.
Otherwise $A ^ { r_{s+1} } u_{s+1} \in W(r,U) $
would imply \,
$ A ^ { r_{s+1} } u _{s} \in W(r,U) $, which is a
contradiction
to \eqref{eq.wzv}.
\medskip
Suppose $r = (r_1, \dots , r_k)$
does not satisfy \eqref{eq.df}.
Then
\, $ t_s - r _s > t_{s+1} - r _{s +1} $ \,
for some $s \in \{1, \dots , k -1 \} $.
Because of \eqref{eq.co2} we
have $t_{s+1} \neq t_s$. Hence
\, $
r _ {s+1} - r _s > t_{s+1} - t_s > 0 $,
and \, $ r _s < r _ {s+1} $, and
\begin{equation} \label{eq.dec}
r _s + ( t_{s+1} - t_s ) < r _ {s+1}.
\end{equation}
Because \eqref{eq.agn} it is obvious
that \eqref{eq.dec} implies
\begin{equation} \label{eq.spt}
A ^ { r _{s} + ( t_{s+1} - t_{s} ) } u_{s+1} \notin W (r, U) .
\end{equation}
Define
\,$
v_s = u _s + A ^{ t_{s+1} - t_s } u _ {s+1}$.
Then \,$ \mathop{ \mathrm{e} {} }\nolimits (v_s) = \mathop{ \mathrm{e} {} }\nolimits (u_s) = t_s$.
Therefore
\begin{equation} \label{eq.vv}
V = \{ u_1, \dots, u_{s-1}, v_s, u_{s+1}, \dots, u_k \}
\end{equation}
is another tuple of generators of $E_0(A)$.
Let us show that $ W (r, V) \neq W (r, U) $. Clearly, the vector
$ A ^{r_s} v_s $ belongs to $ W (r, V) $. Suppose \,
\[
A ^{r_s} u_s + A ^{ r_s + ( t_{s+1} - t_s ) } u _ {s+1}
\,
=
\,
A ^{r_s} v_s \, \in \, W (r, U) .
\]
Because of $ A ^{r_s} u_s \in W (r, U) $
that would imply
\[
A ^ {r_s + (t_{s+1} - t_s) } u _ {s+1} \in W (r, U) ,
\]
which is a contradiction to \eqref{eq.spt}.
\hfill $\square$
\medskip
\bigskip
Let us consider again Example \eqref{eq.mtr}.
We have $(t_1,t_2) = (2,3)$.
In the case of $r = (1,0)$ condition \eqref{eq.rmo} is violated,
which accounts for
\eqref{eq.uuti}.
In the case of $r = (1,2)$
both \eqref{eq.rmo} and \eqref{eq.df} hold, which ensures
\eqref{eq.sm}.
In accordance with a definition in
\cite[p.\,83]{GLR} and \cite{Bru} the space $ W(r,U) $ is a
\emph{marked} $A$-invariant subspace of $E_0(A)$.
That means
$ W(r,U) $
has a Jordan basis, in our case
\[
\{A^{r_i+ \mu_i}u_i; \, 0 \leq \mu _i \leq t_i -r_i -1, \,
i = i, \dots , k \},
\]
which can be extended to a Jordan basis of $E_0(A)$,
namely to
$\mathcal{B}_U$ in \eqref{eq.mclb}.
Let
\,$ \mathcal{M}_r $ be the set of marked subspaces $M$ of $E_0(A)$
such that
the elementary divisors of
the restriction $ A _{\mid M} $ are
$ s^{t_1 - r_1}, \dots , s^{t_k - r_k} $.
We have noted before that for each tuple of generators $U$
the corresponding space
$ W(r,U) $ is in $ \mathcal{M}_r $.
Suppose \eqref{eq.rmo} and \eqref{eq.df}
hold. Then all the spaces $ W(r,U) $ coincide with
$W(r)$ and one might ask whether $W(r)$
is the only subspaces in $ \mathcal{M}_r $.
In the following we have an example
where $ \mathcal{M}_r \supsetneqq \{ W(r) \}$.
Let $n = 10$, $k = 2$,
and $ t = (t_1,t_2 ) = (4,6)$, and $ r = ( 2, 3) $.
Then $ t - r = ( 2, 3)$. Hence
the conditions \eqref{eq.rmo} and \eqref{eq.df}
are satisfied.
Let
$U = ( u_1, u_2) $ be a tuple of generators
such that
$ \mathop{ \mathrm{e} {} }\nolimits ( u_1 ) = 4$ and $ \mathop{ \mathrm{e} {} }\nolimits ( u_2 ) = 6$.
The subspaces
\[
M = W(r,U) = W(r) = \langle A^2 u_1 \rangle
\oplus \langle A^3 u_2 \rangle
\]
and
\,$
\tilde{M } =
\langle A u_1 \rangle
\oplus \langle A^4 u_2 \rangle
$\,
are marked,
the elementary divisors of $A_{\mid M } $ and
$A_{\mid \tilde{M } } $ are $s^2, s^3$.
Hence $ \tilde{M } \in \mathcal{M}_r $, but
$ \tilde{M } \neq W(r)$.
\medskip
Let $[m]$ denote the greatest integer of $m$.
If we assume $(t_1, \dots, t_k) $ as in \eqref{eq.elth} and take
$r = ( [\tfrac{1}{2}t_1 ], \dots , [\tfrac{1}{2}t_ k ] )$
then the conditions \eqref{eq.rmo} and \eqref{eq.df}
are satisfied and we note the
following corollary of Theorem \ref{thm.mn}.
\begin{corollary} \label{eq.spc}
Let
$A \in {\mathbb{C}}^{n \times n}$ and $ 0 \in \sigma(A) $.
Let \,$
s^{2m_1}, \dots , s^{2m_k}$,
be the elementary
divisors of $A$
corresponding to $\lambda = 0$.
If
$ U = ( u_1, \dots , u_k ) $ is a tuple of generators of \,
$\mathop{\mathrm{Ker}}\nolimits A^n$
such that $ \mathop{ \mathrm{e} {} }\nolimits (u_i) = 2m_i$,
$i = 1, \dots , k$,
then $ \mathop{ \mathrm{e} {} }\nolimits ( A^{m_i}u_i) = m_i$ \,
for all $i$, and
\begin{multline*}
\langle A ^{m_1} u_1 \rangle \oplus
\cdots \oplus
\langle A ^{m_k} u_k \rangle
=
\bigl(\mathop{\mathrm{Im}}\nolimits A ^{m_1} \cap \mathop{\mathrm{Ker}}\nolimits A ^{m_1}\bigr)
+
\cdots +
\bigl( \mathop{\mathrm{Im}}\nolimits A ^{m_k} \cap \mathop{\mathrm{Ker}}\nolimits A ^{m_k}\bigr).
\end{multline*}
\end{corollary}
\section{An application} \label{sec.app}
\begin{comment}
The use of Jordan bases for the construction of invariant subspaces
of the from $W(r,U)$
is a standard procedure in linear algebra and systems theory
(see e.g. \cite{Ku}, \cite[p.61]{GLR0}, \cite{Fr}, \cite[p.28]{BEGO},
\cite{RR}).
\end{comment}
In this section
we apply
Corollary~\ref{eq.spc} to the algebraic Riccati equation
\begin{equation} \label{eq.are}
Q + F^* X + XF - XDX = 0
\end{equation}
and its
associated
Hamiltonian matrix
\begin{equation} \label{eq.ham}
H = \begin{pmatrix}
F & - D \\ -Q & - F^*
\end{pmatrix}.
\end{equation}
Here $F, D , Q $ are complex $m \times m$ matrices,
$D$ and $Q$ are hermitian, $D \geq 0$, and the pair
$(F, D) $ is assumed to be controllable.
Then (see \cite[p.59]{Ku}
all elementary divisors corresponding to eigenvalues
$ i \alpha \in i {\mathbb{R}} $ have even degree.
To fix ideas we assume
\, $ \sigma (H) = \{ 0\} $.
The subsequent result complements Lemma 3.2.3 of
\cite[p.60]{Ku}.
\begin{prop}
Let
\,$ s ^{2m_1 } , \dots s ^{ 2m_k }$
be the elementary divisors of $H$.
Set
\begin{equation} \label{eq.een}
W = \bigl(\mathop{\mathrm{Im}}\nolimits H ^{m_1} \cap \mathop{\mathrm{Ker}}\nolimits H^{m_1} \bigr)
+
\cdots + \bigl(\mathop{\mathrm{Im}}\nolimits H ^{m_k} \cap \mathop{\mathrm{Ker}}\nolimits H^{m_k} \bigr).
\end{equation}
Then $W$ is an $H$-invariant subspace of
$ {\mathbb{C}}^{2m} $ and
$ \dim W = m$.
Let $ Y , Z \in {\mathbb{C}}^{m \times m}$ be such that
the columns of \,$ \left( \begin{smallmatrix} Y \\ Z
\end{smallmatrix} \right) $
are a basis of $W$.
Then
$ Y $ is nonsingular and
$X = Z Y ^{-1} $ is the unique hermitian solution of
\eqref{eq.are}.
\end{prop}
Proof. Set $ t = (2 m _1, \dots , 2 m_k) $.
Let $ U = (u_1, \dots , u_k) $ be a tuple of
generators of $E_0(H) = {\mathbb{C}} ^{2m}$.
According to \cite{Ku} we have
\[
W ( \tfrac{1}{2} t , U) = {\rm{span}} \left( \begin{matrix} I_m \\ X
\end{matrix} \right),
\]
where
$X \in {\mathbb{C}}^{m \times m}$ is the unique hermitian
solution of \eqref{eq.are}.
From Corollary~\ref{eq.spc} we know that
$ W ( \tfrac{1}{2} t, U) $ is independent of the choice of $U$.
Moreover,
$ W ( \tfrac{1}{2} t, U) = W $ where
$W $ is given by \eqref{eq.een}.
Hence, if \,$ W = {\rm{span}} \left( \begin{smallmatrix}
Y \\ Z
\end{smallmatrix} \right) $
then $ Y $ is nonsingular, and
\[
{\rm{span}}
\left( \begin{matrix}
Y \\ Z
\end{matrix} \right)
=
{\rm{span}} \left( \begin{matrix}
I \\ Z Y ^{-1}
\end{matrix} \right)
\]
implies that $ X = Z Y ^{-1} $ is the solution of
\eqref{eq.are}.
\hfill $\square$
\section{Conclusions}
Results of this note can
be considered in a module theoretic framework.
In a subsequent paper we shall make the connection
of Theorem~\ref{thm.mn}
with marked subspaces in \cite{FPP} and with
torsion modules over discrete valuation domains
in~\cite{AW}.

ABC Greenlights Marvel's 'S.H.I.E.L.D.' Pilot; Joss Whedon To Co-Write, Possibly Direct
By BAADASSSSS! | August 29th, 2012 at 10:15 am
Up until two years ago Joss Whedon was a beloved cult figure among fans of terrific science-fiction, horror, and comic books who still had to fight tooth and nail to see his creative visions make it to screens both big and small as unmolested as Hollywood would allow. Cut to last May and his epic take on Marvel's mighty superhero cadre The Avengers rakes in more than a billion dollars in global box office. Now Whedon has become Marvel Studios' personal génie en résidence; three weeks ago he officially signed on to write and direct the inevitable Avengers sequel, and a day after that news broke came the development that Whedon would be contributing creatively to the next phase of Marvel's cinematic universe, including overseeing production of a television series for ABC based on Marvel characters.
It looks like ABC, Marvel, and Whedon have decided to waste no more time figuring out who the new TV series will revolve around, as the network has ordered a pilot for S.H.I.E.L.D..

The second book in New York Times bestselling author Katy Regnery's first duo of paranormal romances!
So this has nothing to do with the book, technically, but I was so excited all those years of French in school let me translate some of the story before the author does!!! It's the little things in life. That does not mean I can type this in French, nope.
Except Jack has seen plenty proof of the contrary. He has a choice to make and fear clouds his judgement. He would rather not face the consequences. Besides, first, he has to keep his sister from killing his mate...Talk about family issues. Oh but so many more issues are present in the Beauloup family.
There is so much I want to comment on. So much I want bring to your attention, but then I remember this is a review not a support group. Sigh.
As is customary with this author, I feel like I'm a character in the book watching it play out or maybe the narrator. But I definitely feel invested, so much so that I need more. I need to know what other kinds of drama, fun, and naughtiness the Beauloups and friends get into. Also there is the minor matter of an Enchantresse to discuss.
We start out with a death threat, the threat of a forced mating, and Solstice to worry about. Add in a feisty little doctor...ok, um two, two feisty doctors, lofty and impossible goals, and of course a little healthy competition. Mix it all up and set loose.
You will get some Skinwalkers, a Metis Enchantresse, a botany professor, and a contractor. You also will get warm hearted, toe curling, sweet love. But will it all be happy?
I'm so happy because It's You book 2 gave me everything I wanted and more.
Darcy and Jack's life is a beautiful love story with a paranormal twist and it's the love story that is the focus of the story.
This book focuses on what happens when Jack's secret is finally revealed. Although I was upset with Darcy in the first part of the book I totally understood her reaction I mean I would probably run away freaking out as well. Jack has waited 20 years for her, where can I find a man like him? He's not afraid to show his love, he's romantic tough when needed but he never gives up.
Being together is not going to be easy for them, will his pack accept her as his mate, can Darcy accept a future with Jack and everything that comes with it? | {

White Lantern Power Battery
Official name: White Lantern Power Battery
Type: Power Battery
Used by: White Lantern Corps
The White Lantern Power Battery was formed at the end of The Blackest Night in the war against the Black Lantern Corps. In order to defeat Nekron, Lord of the Unliving; Hal Jordan redistributed the power of the Life Entity amongst various resurrected superheroes thus turning them into the White Lantern Corps. Their power was crucial in defeating Nekron and ending the Blackest Night Prophecy. However, shortly afterwards, the Life Entity disappeared and its energy surged into the sky where it coalesced into a White Lantern Power Battery on Earth.
The Brightest Day
The local human authorities came to the impact crater in the middle of the road to uncover it but were stopped by Sinestro who desired its power. He proved to be unable to move the Power Battery and thus he went to enlist the aid of Hal Jordan and Carol Ferris in moving the White Lantern Power Battery. Each attempted to do so but failed and led to a unified effort to move the relic. This led to a power surge as apparitions of the resurrected heroes formed telling Hal Jordan to "find them." When Jordan asked who they were referring to, Aquaman repeated the statement and the trio were bombarded with images of the Embodiments of the Emotional Spectrum namely the Predator Entity, Ophidian Entity, Adara Entity, Proselyte Entity, The Butcher and the Ion Entity. Sinestro revealed that the Power Battery asked them to locate the Emotional Entities. When Jordan attempted to learn more and plunged his hand into the White Lantern Power Battery whilst asking how they could locate them, the relic teleported them to another location on Earth and stated "Atrocitus will help.". They quickly learned that the Power Battery had transported them to a part of Earth where Atrocitus had killed a group of criminals to save innocents and recruited his help in locating the Emotional Entities. Afterwards, the Black Lantern Deathstorm emerged from the Firestorm Matrix and attempted to end all life in the cosmos by destroying the White Lantern Power Battery. Before he could accomplish this act, a voice commanded him to bring the Power Battery to it as this being intended to command the power of all life. Deathstorm complied and recreated the resurrected heroes Black Lantern forms whereupon he took the Power Battery to the mysterious voice. It was soon revealed that the voice was the Anti-Monitor who tried to access the White Lantern's power, however his efforts are prevented by Firestorm who after engaging the Anti-Monitor and the Black Lanterns, is able to retrieve the Power Battery and escape. It's also revealed that the Power Battery allowed itself to be captured so it could obtain unspecified information from the Anit-Monitor.
The abilities of the White Lantern seem to be directly opposite to those of the Black Lantern, as to bring the dead back to life, even bringing the Black Lanterns back to normal. The godlike abilities of the White Lantern seem almost limitless.
Life Entity
In Injustice: Gods Among Us, Sinestro's ending features this Power Battery when the Korugarian villain launches an attack against the Life Entity itself. After defeating it, he claims the power of the White Lantern Power Battery for himself.

1921: Nancy Reagan born in Queens.
1954: NY Yankee and baseball Manager Willie Randolph born.
1971: Trumpeter Louie Armstrong died in his sleep at his home in Corona, Queens. The Louis Armstrong home is now a museum.
1999: During a heatwave a blackout in upper Manhattan left thousands in blackout.
2003: In a New York Times Op-Ed, American hero and former ambassador Joseph Wilson stated that George W. Bush's rationale for Operation Iraqi Libertion (OIL) was based on a lie, that the administration knew that Iraq did not have nuclear capability despite stating so.
The administration reacted treasonously and vindictively, blowing Wilson's CIA wife's cover. She was the counter WMD expert investigating germ warfare capability proliferation, which was the other Bush administration rationale for the invasion, the false connection between Iraq and the domestically based Anthrax attacks, which came from the US Army and is still mysterious.
The leak that blew Plame's cover led to Plamegate to investigate who blew Plame's cover. This led to an obstruction of justice standoff that played out years later. Who blew her cover is unprosecuted. Who lied about the rationale for war with Iraq is unprosecuted.
2005: New York Times WMD reporter Judith Miller was jailed for refusing to testify before a grand jury investigating the outing of an undercover CIA operative, Valerie Plame. She refused to reveal her source, Scooter Libby of the Bush Administration. She eventually relented after her friend, Scooter, told her to. | {

Cricket Magazine History
For over 40 years, Cricket has delighted and entertained children and teens around the globe with the "best of the best" in children's literature. Cricket's guiding principle is the belief that imaginative young readers would respond enthusiastically to wonderful stories accompanied by world-class illustrations, without any advertising. Marianne Carus, founder and Editor-in-Chief of Cricket, says,
"The way to create in children a love of reading and an appreciation of good writing is to offer them beautifully illustrated, lively, well-written, interesting stories that sustain a witty tone and a sense of humor. I am convinced that children will respond to quality if it's not forced upon them but presented in an engaging manner."
Mrs. Carus is well-respected and much-loved in the world of children's publishing for her lifelong commitment to bringing top-quality fiction and nonfiction to young readers. In 2003, her unique contribution to children's literature was recognized with an honorary doctors degree in humane letters from Illinois Wesleyan University, and in 2006 she was inducted into the Association of Educational Publishers Hall of Fame for a lifetime of work educating children.

Djokovic beat Federer to win 4th Indian Wells Masters Crown
in Indian Wells Masters Mar 23, 2015 0 446 Views
World number 1 Novak Djokovic has beaten Roger Federer in the final of 2015 BNP Paribas Open to claim his fourth title of Indian Wells Masters. This is Serbian player's 50th ATP Tour title in his career. Djokovic defeated Federer by 6-3, 6-7(5-7) and 6-2 to win consecutive Indian Wells title.
Last year also both these players met in the final of BNP Paribas Open which was also won by Novak Djokovic by beating Switzerland's Roger Federer. Hene winning 2015 tournament, Djokovic has successfully defended the title.
After winning 50th title, Djokovic said, "I believe that I have to earn everything that I do, and this title today, as well. I appreciate every moment that I spend on the court. Of course the milestone that I achieved today was a great motivation for me prior to this event."
Novak Djokovic took 2 hours and 17 minutes to take revenge of last month's Dubai Tennis Open final defeat from Federer. This was 38th meeting between these two champion players and Federer was leading with 20-17 score in previous 27 matches, but winning this final Djokovic has reduced the margin and now Roger is leading with 20-18.
"It's great that I managed to win this match in the big tournament and to win it in a way that I felt like I was the better player on the court. That definitely will help. It's going to give me confidence, not just for future matches that I play against him, but just for Miami and the rest of the season," Djokovic added.

Press Release – Oregon Right to Try Bill Unanimously Passes the House and Senate

Oregon Right to Try Bill Unanimously Passes the House and Senate
PORTLAND, Ore. – Oregon's Right to Try bill, HB 2300 B, passed 29-0 in the Senate and was re-passed with some restrictive amendments in the House by 60-0 last week. It now goes to Governor Kate Brown's desk for her signature. The law will give some terminally ill Oregonians the Right to Try experimental drugs and devices not yet approved by the FDA.
Cascade Policy Institute founder Steve Buckstein noted, "The final bill is more restrictive than similar statutes in 21 other states (with its 18-year-old minimum age limit and its six-months to expected death definition of terminal illness), but it's a good start and hopefully can be expanded in the future to cover children and people who have terminal illnesses such as ALS where patients may live for a number of years."
Buckstein thanked House Health Care Committee Chair Mitch Greenlick (D), committee member and work group leader Knute Buehler, MD (R), and Senate Health Care Committee Chair Laurie Monnes Anderson (D) for all their hard work on the bill. He noted that these three legislators started working on this legislation before the session even started, and stuck with it all the way to final unanimous passage in both houses.
Buckstein also thanked the Goldwater Institute of Arizona for pioneering the Right to Try concept around the country and for its help in Oregon. He also thanked Diego Morris, the Arizona teenager who had to move to London for treatment approved in Europe but not in the United States when he contracted terminal osteo sarcoma at age eleven. The treatment was successful and Diego is now cancer free. Diego and his mother Paulina visited the Oregon Capitol in February to make their case for allowing terminally ill Oregonians the right to try experimental drugs. When asked by a reporter what he would say to critics of the Oregon Right to Try bill, he looked up at her and said, "Wait until they find themselves in my situation, and then ask them."
Buckstein concluded, "This truly bipartisan effort resulted in a bill that could literally mean the difference between life and death for some terminally ill Oregonians. I'm proud of the work Cascade Policy Institute did to promote the Right to Try concept and bill in Oregon, and look forward to Governor Brown signing the bill so it can take effect at the beginning of 2016."
Cascade Policy Institute is a nonprofit, nonpartisan public policy research and educational organization that focuses on state and local issues in Oregon. Cascade's mission is to develop and promote public policy alternatives that foster individual liberty, personal responsibility, and economic opportunity. | {

The problem with reality is it just isn't as good as fantasy.
We had paid a small fortune (£120) to travel by speed boat from Koh Mok to Langkawi, this involved 2 speed boats with a 3 hour break in between boats which gave us time for the international border crossing and for that we gain an extra hour in our lives. As we had paid a lot we had visions of James Bond type boats quickly and efficiently getting us to where we wanted and arriving in Malaysia after a days travelling with flashpacker freshness.
We ordered breakfast (which was also going to be lunch) of one last Pad Thai and iced coffee. There were no noodles in the kitchen so we had stir fried rice, bland until we doused it in chilli, which had the unfortunate effect of reminding our stomachs of last night's spicy yellow curry. Still we had a couple of hours to clear our stomachs before speed boat relay started.
We waited near the beach for the boat to arrive. It was supposed to arrive at 11.20. 11.20 came and went, 11.45 too, by 12.00 we were concerned. A few phone calls later and it was confirmed it would be here at 12.20. It arrived at 12.30. We still had a 2 hour turnaround so were unpurturbed at this slight delay.
Getting on the boat everyone seemed quite quiet and sober. Wierd, but then I though they are probably all on their way home so I could understand that. Not many backpackers would pay this price for the journey.
We had 30 mins to go to the next island to pick up more passengers, the speed boat bounced along the waves, lurching in that irregular fashion they do. Hummmm……I remembered the afternoon rains the past couple of days, that were accompanied by a slight breeze, which had been cooling on the beach. Maybe we would avoid them?
Pick up done and we were settled in seats across the aisle near the back of the boat. Bags piled up at the back of the boat. Plenty more tourists at the back of the boat.
The speedboat bounced along the waves, still juddering in its usual fashion. Clouds were gathering, blue skies were replaced by plump, grey clouds. People were looking around nervously, the boat started to bounce more, we were both thinking this is ok, nothing is as bad as the ferry to Taiwan. No Chinese are on board so we should avoid copious vomiting and over flowing sick bags.
Then the wind picked up and the waves started to lash through the back half of the boat, within 10 mins we were drenched right through our skimpy outfits, having dressed for 35 degree heat, not a water park ride. Salt water stung our eyes, hands and feet wrinkled like we had been in a hot bath for an hour.
Our fellow passengers in the front half, or shall we call it the dry half of the boat, all looked on amused and took photos whilst we at the back end of the boat, got a through brining. It was funny, you put on a brave face and laughed, we only had another hour and we should be there.
Looking to the back of the boat, the bags were drenched in sea water, which if you have a fancy Dry Sac like Guy is fine. If you have a 18 year old canvas bag with everything in plastic bags you begin to wonder if the bags are big enough to ensure nothing gets wet. Nothing you can do about it now though. Just soak up the spray and keep smiling at the cameras.
The boat bounced along, buffered by the increasing winds, the crew had the look of Thai drug runners, all about 18 years old and laughing at the farang getting scared and soaked.
About 2 hours into the journey it was clear we were no where near our destination. We did a mid sea transfer of more farang on and off the boat, the clean, dry Russian and Chinese tourist came on and sat at the back of the boat.
Just when you think it can't get any worse, the heavens opened, the rain intensified and the thunder and lightning began. The temperature dropped, I was shaking, and just a fleeting thought of a warm, centrally heated office in Redditch passed through my head.
Chinese tourists filled sick bags, Russians braved it and laughed along, even the lasses false eyelashes didn't bat an eyelid. Stereotypes are created for a reason.
Another hour of this and we eventually arrive in Koh Lipi a full 10 mins before we our next ferry leaves. The Thai drug runners shout 'Langkawi, Langkawi' and us and another couple are bundled off the boat, through the thigh high warm waters (bliss) dragging my salt water drenched rucksack and hand luggage up the sandy beach to immigration. My passport is drenched, I am drenched, I have never been through passport control looking like a drowned rat, but we get through, only partially able to fill out the departure cards as we are shaking from the cold so much.
Next boat takes us and our passports, separately, to the ferry, which has waited for us to arrive. We have a brief bit of heat before getting shepherded into a cold, air conditioned cabin. Just what I needed when soaked to the skin.
Immigration is the oddest yet, an elderly Malaysian is clutching about 30 passports. He shouts out the nationality of the passport and somehow this matches the owner, usually. We get ours near the end of this lottery, the last one isn't even announced, it is given to the person remaining. He does check 'Has everyone got a passport?'. I am not sure if it matters if it is the right one…… he has done his job and retires.
My teeth are chattering, body shaking, Guy lends me his shirt, I pull it on, it is soaking in seconds. We watch a Steven Siegal movie. It is a long trip, not bouncy, just long and air conditioned.
Finally, at 18.45 Malaysian time, we are in Langkawi, the sun is still out, just and we emerge into the sun shine. Bliss. Then onto the air conditioned immigration hall. Cold. The customs woman is bemused at both my passport and my appearance. I explain it was soaked on the ferry.
The customs guy is checking everyone's rucksacks, I put mine on the desk with a loud squelch. He touches it, prods it, says it wet, I concur. He says he doesn't want to check it. Result!
Guys Dry Sac is checked. Ha ha!
We finally get to the outside warmth of the ferry terminal and an ATM. We have been offered 40 Ringitt for our taxi to Cenang Tengang (£8), seems steep. Move on and the next guy says 38 Ringitt (50p) saving, not quite what I was expecting. Once he realises we are not going to hire a car or scooter from him (why would we, do we have a death wish???) he lets us go to the taxi queue and get a taxi for 30 Ringitt. Odd procedure, but we get the price we wanted.
Taxi driver asks if we want air con, we shiver and gasp No, and he opens the windows to the warm, evening breeze and we try not to drip or soak our salt water into his spotless upholstery.
We have an enthusiastic welcome from our French host at The Crowded House guesthouse, get our room, I unceremoniously dump everything out of my back onto the clean, new white tiled floor. Each corner of each plastic bag failed to prevent sogginess. I get some soggy trousers and a matching soggy top out of the bag, hope they dry as we step out for something to eat.
Just as we step out the heavens opened, again!!! I am thinking, if I get wet, at least it is rain that can wash off the sea water. Guy who is dry, is not keen on a rain shower.
Our host waves 2 umbrellas at us, bless him, and we trudge off to Fat Mums for a huge bowl of delicous, soothing laksa, and a less exciting beef rendang.
The problem with paradise is the difference between the fantasy in your imagination and the reality you are faced with. The bigger the difference, the greater the upset. Of course, there may be no difference, in which case you are in a happy place.
Koh Muk is a beautiful island in the Anderman sea on the south west coast of Thailand. On the west side is the small but perfectly formed Had Farang beach, a small crescent of white sand which slips gently into clear, warm turquoise waters. Its surrounded by karst cliffs, covered in tropical vegetation of spiky palms and classic coconut palm trees. A feast for the eyes.
Our sunset facing bungalow had a view between some shady trees across the sea to Koh Kradan. It was the last one free when we arrived and although it was more than we wanted to pay, it was large with an ensuite and our new hammock fitted perfectly on the wooden balcony. Unfortunately it was also home to rats which would scratch around in the ceiling after dark. We were used to this after our time in China and a bang on the wall would quiet them down. However, we weren't used to small presents of rat waste falling through a loose roof board into the room. The dad of the family who ran the accommodation came round and nailed up the loose board to solve that issue but the environment further tested our Dr Doolittle credentials.
Monkeys would hang around on the roof and go through the bin after dark. I fed giant mosquitoes and in return they left me huge, itchy lumps. Al was greeted by cockroaches in the bathroom. After sunset each day, swarms of small flies would descend and cover you. One evening a giant cicada decided to spend the night with us, flapping and buzzing around the room. In the shallows of the sea, shoals of translucent green fish would hang around your legs. Hermit crabs were constantly shuffling around the beach, hiding in their mobile homes as you approached. Of course, you have to expect to interact with nature on a tropical island.
The resort was also home to a more familiar type of small creature – children. Either side of our bungalow were families enjoying the beauty of the Thai islands, something we hadn't experienced before and a change from the backpacker trail.
Our days would be spent topping up the tan. I watched Al go brown as some bits of me went from white to off-white and some bits went from white to red. I would easily win 'Mr Blotchy Tan 2017' We'd swim in the warm sea, so clear that at chin depth I could see my toes. We'd watch the sun disappear each day with a cold beer or a cocktail and after savoury, rich, spicy, coconut, Thai curries, would watch electrical storms out to sea bring atmosphere to the night sky. A tropical paradise.
As usual we are leaving Bangkok early evening so have a whole day of wandering, killing time, until the overnight bus takes us to our Thai island paradise.
We find the curry rice stall we looked for yesterday. There are many curries on offer, we are a little flummoxed as to which to choose until a friendly Thai guy from Chang Rai explains the dishes to us and also confirms this is one of the best curry rice restaurants to eat in.
We order the sukothai noodles, green curry with rubbery fish balls and a mango and shredded pork salad. The sukothai noodles are really good, sweeter then we would usually go for, but great, but the pork and mango salad is ace, salty, chilli, and sour. Our Chang Rai friend explains he studied hotel management in Hastings 1969-1973, hence his excellent English.
We wander round the back streets, through a new backpacker area, full of street stalls, laundry shops, suit shops, hostels, and the usual backpacker support systems. It is less full on than our area, so has been ear marked for our next (!) visit.
More wanderings occur, and we find ourselves in a coffee and cake shop down Pra Athit road, how does this happen? I go overboard on chocolate ordering iced chocolate shake and triple chocolate mouse, Guy has cup of tea, and white chocolate cheesecake. It is sugar heaven…..really good…..we enjoy this luxury and the air con.
Still with time to kill we go back to ours for wi-fi and blogging.
At 6pm we once again find ourselves in the Pied Piper routine, although the guides seem genuinely confused at our destination of Trang. Most people are off to Ko Samui or Krabi. Neither of which are near Trang, or actually near each other.
A reggae coloured bus pulls up, we all pile on, luggage is stored according to where you are going, seats on the bus are allocated the same way. The bus is old, tired, no air con, no comfy seats. We are getting too old for bus travel.
Guy looses a number of chess games against his phone. I drift in and out of uncomfortable sleep.
We arrive at Surat Thani at 6.30am. We now have to pay more to get a minivan to get to Trang in time for the 1.30 ferry. Other people have done a 4 hour dog leg of a journey to get to Rangong. Thailand used to be well organised in tourist travel, but now the numbers of tourists are so many and the destinations so varied that I feel it doesn't work to do your trip via a travel agent on Khao San if it isn't the normal routes, or sometimes even if it it!!
We get another mini van to the ferry port. It is showing a Hollywood Eric Banna film on catching the Taliban. We are over tired, especially me, and having that in your face at close quarters is quite disturbing. We miss the public ferry by 10mins. We pay 600 THB (£15) for a personal boat to Koh Mok, it actually isn't completely overpriced, and we arrive about 5 mins after the public ferry. The scenery is stunning and we start to relax, it is 1.30, we have loads of time to look for accommodation.
Clambering onto the pier, we sweat our way down the long pier. I get a Sprite and wait for Guy as he goes to check out guesthouses for us. Sometimes feminism needs to be put to one side and I embrace the role of a kept woman.
Despite finding accommodation near the port we decide to go to the other side of the island. The port area has no real beach and what there is is covered in rubbish. It is not the paradise we were looking for.
We get a 'taxi' (motorbike with side cart) to the other side of the island to Had Farang (literally Foreigner Beach) where the big resort has beach bungalows for £40…. Luckily we find cheaper bungalows for £20, which considering their state is expensive, but it is the view we are paying for.
We dump bags, locate swimmers, throw them on and skip into the warm bathtub temperature, clear Anderman sea. It is beautiful beach and we forget our gripes and tiredness and drift around.
Guy takes many, many sunset photos.
We eat at Mayhow, a small family restaurant off the beach. The massaman and Penang curries are tasty, the Chang is cold.
A slightly dull head greeted us on opening our eyes.
We met Paula and Dave for a Chinese brunch, noodles, wontons, and more. It was delicious.
Find farewells were made in a bar and they set off to the airport. It was really sad to see them go, we had looked forward to seeing them so much, although they had ruined our traveller kudos points by having trolley bags and a Vietnamese hat.
The rest of the day was spent slowly drinking cold shandy, with a pepperoni pizza for lunch and trying to find a beer at a reasonable price on Khao San road.
With Chinese for breakfast and pizza for lunch, evening food had to be Indian Curry and a Bond film (Spectre) was the evenings entertainment.
We had both got to sleep just before we were supposed to wake up…..4.30am. We were all awoken to get up, get the beds made back into seats and sit for an hour, trying not to be grumpy about having got up so blooming early.
Once at Hualamphong station (not Humpalong station, as was cited in first edition of this post), we waited half an hour for a 53 bus that never showed, our bus info was clearly out of date.
A tuktuk ride later we were in early morning Banglampoo, again just after the street cleaners, and waiting for someone to check out so we could get into a room.
The plan was to catch up on sleep and then meet Paula and Dave at 3pm. We had some chicken on rice, checked in, showered, tried to sleep, couldn't manage it. We rearranged to met at 1pm and had a great afternoon catching up and drinking beers, cocktails, whatever came our way.
Safe to say we are both a little tired, or 'fluffy' as Rodney would say. We pack rucksacks as best we can. Mine is starting to look overstuffed.
We are sad to leave the hostel, it has been a little oasis here, so clean, fresh and the sitting area so welcoming. It is nice to stay somewhere that feels nice, even though it is well within budget at £11 per night.
Packed and out of the room, we go to Blue Diamond for coffee, full English breakfast, tuna and avocado salad and cinnamon toast. Yes, we did order too much and were totally over stuffed (just like our rucksacks) but it is such good food. Plus we are on an overnight train, so who knows when we will eat again 😋.
We are needing coffee, so go to a cute little cafe that serves us an expresso and macchiato and we watch telecom cables being put up in the street.
We go to buy some bargain citronella to blast the mossies away, however last night's chili tea is making itself known in my tum, so I dash into a friendly hotel to use the facilities!!!!
Our train is at 3.30 so we get a tuktuk at 2.30. We had been told not to pay more than 150 Baht, so were shocked when the guy asked for 100 Baht. We instantly said yes and clambered into the tuktuk, lugging our unwieldy baggage with us. A quick, traffic jammed ride away and we were at the station, looking at our train, dumbfounded at the sign which said no drinking on the train. Guy has sweats wondering how he was going to do an overnight train with no booze…..I was quietly happy to have a night off.
We climb aboard and settle into our seats for a slow, sedate rocking ride to Bangkok.
The time is spent catching up on blogs / diaries, playing with new phone and staring out the window.
Dinner is courtesy of the dining car. Amazingly this first one we have used, and it is tasty, roast duck red curry, chicken with cashew nuts, soup and rice.
Sleep is hard to come by, the air con is set to freeze mode and bright lights kept on all night. | {

Executive & CEO
Reimagining HR for a world full of humans, not machines.
As a coach and consultant to many senior HR executives, I have been known to say "let's blow up the 1980s HR practices that no longer serve your business and the humans within it." It's time to rethink how we elevate and expand our experiences at work, so that our people – the humans in our care, become bigger, better versions of themselves and in doing so, create a greater impact in their life, their community and your organisation.
There is a lot of old theories and people practices still in place across organisations today, because they're embedded, they're common practices – but are they helping or hindering your future strategy?
We built processes around our human 'resources' throughout the industrial age, where giving a job to staff was the intent. The focus for organisations was the standardisation of work and optimisation of processes – people needed to be efficient, fit within a defined box and work fast and hard. Power and control leadership was in play and staff were a resource that could be swapped in and out of the process as long as they could fit the box requirements. Recruitment was more about fulfillment and talent and development didn't really exist. Unless you were a manager, then you learnt to manage your resources and keep your staff in line (literally). Performance was output based and the staff were there for the job and the paycheck.
If any of this still sounds familiar, you're not alone. Remnants of this era still live on – if you're still calling your people staff, it's probably a good starting point to test the assumptions that sit around that word and the relationship they have with you as a leader or the organisation.
The world then moved forward into the "information age" where the focus of organisations was on engaging and enabling the collective intelligence of their teams and the focus of HR was to facilitate a career for employees. Lots of HR structures and practices emerged –recruitment frameworks, talent frameworks, capability frameworks, leadership frameworks, performance frameworks, succession frameworks – let's just say there were a lot of frameworks! And whilst we were moving away from placing staff in boxes, ironically we were building frameworks to put employees in boxes, framework boxes, but boxes all the same. This era it became clearer what was expected of you – what you do and how you do it. But it was still defined within a framework that everyone could understand (an somewhat relate to or pretend to). Standardisation was still key, but there was a greater appreciation that the person in the role had more to offer than just output, they had some soft skills that needed to be appreciated and recognised too.
I suspect that many of you are employees, using these frameworks and for the most part they help create consistency across the organisation. But to what consequence? How is consistency now serving you and the future strategy of your organisation?
We now see that a new age is emerging – the "purpose age" as coined by Aaron Hurst of Imperative. Many organisations are now touting their purpose and the impact they are trying to make in the world. For some it is just marketing, for others it is creating a new way of being in business. The most progressive organisations have realised that the standardised HR practices of the past, whilst they may have built the skill of people to follow process, may be holding them back in the pursuit of purpose and positive impact. Those redefining HR for the future (and many no longer calling it that) are looking to harness the collective desire of their people to make a difference in the world by empowering them through meaningful work and experiences. They are focussed on creating meaning for all humans. This is less about standardised frameworks and more about working with their people to co-create collective experiences that are of value to them. It requires new skills in collective participation, collaboration, leadership and development. It requires rethinking of a 'policy' approach and more about a best fit or principled approach. It is about relinquishing control and co-creating expectations. It is about working through evolving your people practices as the world evolves around you. It is dynamic, responsive and intuitively designed for the grey space that humans belong in, not the black and white space that built for process.
I'm not sure how that sounds to you? As a human, perhaps it fills you with hope and imagination of what working life could be or become. You see that a new way of being in business is possible and is already being paved by the brave souls who are prepared to cultivate an environment for all uniquely flawed humans to flourish. Or perhaps you think it sounds too utopian?
What I do know is that it is possible. It requires people to challenge their assumption about what work is and what is the power dynamic between employer and employee and how the current structures, systems and processes serve your strategy (or perhaps your assumptions). And whilst it takes intention, deliberate design and a dose of courage and conviction, it is possible to reimagine and redesign a different way of being in business.

Radiohead "Minidiscs [Hacked]" (2019)
In June of 2019, Radiohead made available a mother lode of mostly unreleased recordings for only 18 days on Bandcamp, consisting of nearly 18 hours of private recordings from the OK Computer era. Recorded between 1995 and 1998, these recordings consisted of countless demos, outtakes, alternate versions, unreleased songs, live cuts, and other curiosities which were mostly related to the English alternative band's 1997 masterwork. Why did they do this? On the band's official website, guitarist/keyboardist Jonny Greenwood explained it like this:
"We got hacked last week – someone stole Thom (Yorke)'s minidisc archive from around the time of OK Computer, and reportedly demanded $150,000 on threat of releasing it. So instead of complaining – much – or ignoring it, we're releasing all 18 hours on bandcamp in aid of Extinction Rebellion. Just for the next 18 days. So for £18 you can find out if we should have paid that ransom. Never intended for public consumption (though some clips did reac…
Third Man Records vinyl exclusives, Part 40: Raconteurs "Help Us Stranger" (2019)
The 40th set of exclusive vinyl items offered to Platinum members of Third Man Records' Vault service was mailed out to the members in June of 2019. For those who are unaware, Third Man Records is the label owned by Jack White, who is the leader of the White Stripes, the Raconteurs, and the Dead Weather, and is now a solo artist. The Vault service promises to deliver exclusive vinyl-only records (usually one full-length album and one 7" single) to its Platinum members every three months.
The 40th Vault package contained an exclusive vinyl edition of the Raconteurs' 2019 studio album Help Us Stranger, and a 7-inch single containing early demo versions of two of the album's songs.
The 180-gram Vault edition of Help Us Stranger was pressed in green vinyl with black and copper swirls, and was packaged with moving-image lenticular cover art. The album was the Raconteurs' first studio album in eleven years, and is their third studio album to date. The album's title continues the tradition…
Twenty years!
Twenty years! Yes, it has been 20 years since my website Rarebird's Rock and Roll Rarity Reviews first went live on May 31, 1999. It was hard enough to believe when my site reached its ten-year mark. In my 10-year anniversary post in 2009, I said that I hoped to keep the site up and running for another ten years. Well, hooray for me! Mission accomplished.
Since their name resembles the Roman numeral XX, I will enlist the band called the xx to provide the background music for this post:
So, now that I have succeeded in my long-term goal of keeping my site online for two whole decades, the next question is: What now? I honestly don't know how much longer I will be keeping the site online, at least in its traditional form. As proud as I am of the site, it is getting more expensive to preserve its online presence. I recently renewed both the domain and the storage, so it will at least stay online until next Spring of 2020. But beyond that, the site's future is uncertain. Pa…
The Parliaments "Baby I Owe You Something Good" (2019 Record Store Day EP)
For Record Store Day 2019, the Detroit soul label Revilot Records issued a 10-inch EP with six tracks from The Parliaments, the George Clinton-led '60's doo wop quintet which later evolved into Clinton's '70's funk collectives known as Parliament and Funkadelic (among other variations). The EP, titled Baby I Owe You Something Good, was limited to 2,000 copies.
Side A contained three tracks taken from the group's '60's doo wop singles, all of which were later redone by Clinton's '70's variations of the Parliaments. These tracks are decidedly more straightforward and more innocent soul recordings than Clinton's later psychedelic funk experiments, but they are good early displays of his unique talents.
"All Your Goodies Are Gone" was originally released as a single in 1967 (Revilot RV 211); it was later rerecorded by Parliament for their 1974 album Up For The Down Stroke. Although this earlier doo wop version is less stylized, it has the edge in terms of real emotion. It's an excellen…
John Hiatt & Lilly Hiatt "All Kinds Of People" (b/w "You Must Go") (2019 Record Store Day single)
For Record Store Day 2019, John Hiatt (the 66-year-old veteran singer-songwriter from Indiana) and his daughter Lilly Hiatt (who is a 35-year-old alt-country recording artist) recorded a 7-inch split-single limited to 450 copies. On the A-side, John covered Lilly's song "All Kinds Of People", which originally appeared on her 2017 album Trinity Lane. On the B-side, Lilly covered her father's song "You Must Go", from his 1995 album Walk On.
When you hear the elder Hiatt sing his daughter's song "All Kinds Of People", it's hard to believe it's not his own composition. The heartbroken lyrics about losing a true lover who is bound for the ocean (sort of a first-person variation on the Looking Glass song "Brandy") have an emotional depth and a sense of down-to-earth realism that seemingly run in the family. John's gentle guitar-and-harmonica arrangement, in which he is accompanied only by drummer Kenneth Blevins, also makes the song sound very much like it is one of his own creations.
Swervedriver "Think I'm Gonna Feel Better / Reflections" (2019 Record Store Day single)
Swervedriver, the reunited English shoegaze band of the '90's, released a 12-inch single on Record Store Day 2019. Pressed in the clearest and most transparent vinyl I've ever seen, this disc featured previously unreleased covers of two songs from 1967: Gene Clark's "Think I'm Gonna Feel Better" and the Supremes hit "Reflections". The single was limited to 1,500 copies.
Although this 45-rpm single is 12 inches wide, the two songs would easily fit on a normal 7-inch single, at least one that was pressed in plain black vinyl. I have not been able to find recording dates for the unearthed tracks, either in the packaging or online. But judging from the sound, they were more likely to have been recorded during Swervedriver's original '90's run than during more recent times.
"Think I'm Gonna Feel Better" was originally a song that Gene Clark recorded with the Gosdin Brothers in 1967, not to be confused with his '65 Byrds classic "I'll Feel A Whole Lot Better". Clark's original was a jan…
Bob Dylan "Blood On The Tracks - The Original New York Test Pressing" (2019 Record Store Day LP)
On Record Store Day 2019, Legacy Records issued a limited edition vinyl LP reproducing the original test pressing of Bob Dylan's landmark 1975 album Blood On The Tracks. The LP was limited to 7,500 copies. This was the first time the much-bootlegged test pressing -- commonly referred to as the "New York version" -- was made available commercially. All ten tracks on the test pressing were recorded at A&R Recording Studios in New York City.
The 1975 commercial release of Blood On The Tracks contained five original New York tracks and five rerecorded Minnesota tracks. Dylan's brother David Zimmerman encouraged him to rerecord those five latter tracks at Minneapolis Sound 80 Studios with local musicians to make the overall sound of the album less downbeat. There were originally only five copies of the Columbia test pressing known to exist. Amoeba Records in Los Angeles, California acquired one of those copies in 2015 and reportedly sold it for a whopping $12,000.
Third Man Records vinyl exclusives, Part 39: Sleep "Live At Third Man Records" (2019)
The 39th set of exclusive vinyl items offered to Platinum members of Third Man Records' Vault service was mailed out to the members in March of 2019. For those who are unaware, Third Man Records is the label owned by Jack White, who is the leader of the White Stripes, the Raconteurs, and the Dead Weather, and is now a solo artist. The Vault service promises to deliver exclusive vinyl-only records (usually one full-length album and one 7" single) to its Platinum members every three months.
The 39th Vault package contained a 4-LP live set from the stoner-metal band Sleep, recorded directly to acetate at Third Man Records in Nashville on December 12, 2018. The four LP's in this set were pressed in different colors of vinyl: one blue, one green, one purple, and one orange.
Sleep are a California trio who recorded three albums in the 1990's. The trio's latest album The Sciences, their first in two decades, was released by Third Man Records in 2018. Their brand of heavy metal is the slow… | {

Bilbo Baggins checked his watch dusted off his waistcoat, straightened his shiny buttons and surveyed the party field. Looking at the Party tree twinkling with lights and the table heaving under the weight of his, and Frodo's enormous Birthday Cake he thought to himself: this shall certainly be the party to end all parties.
Satisfied that everything was in place, and that after tonight he would be forever renowned as the 'Party King' of the Shire he trotted to the gate awaiting the arrival of the first guests...
Let's Party!!!!!!!!!

If anyone wants to add a song to the Hobbit Pary Playlist, let me know.
"Cloud, my love, come ON!" Eruraina cried, going as fast as she could, bare feet padding against the grass, while pulling her less excited husband along towards the party grounds.
"I thought it was in season to be fashionably late," Cloud chuckled, blue eyes shinning.
"Not for us! I shall not miss a single thing at this party!" Eruraina said again. Finally the arrived at the party grounds.
"Look, there's not really anyone here yet," Cloud pointed out.
"BILBO! FRODO!!! Happy Birthday!" Eruraina called out at the top of her lungs, before running over to the stage to get the band going, and then to the table of food to investigate all that had been brought. "Ooooo it all looks so good! I shall have to try a bit of everything!"

Arabella Baggins
Location: Camelot
"First to arrive, last to leave, right?" Ari asked, dragging Pippin alongside her. He laughed merrily. "Of course!" he said. "Besides, that means we get the best pick of the food and drinks if we get there first!" He smirked at her. "But you're just excited Alanna promised you two dances with Frodo, aren't you?
Ari blushed, looking down and adjusting her scarf--she and Pippin had decided to wear matching scarves for the occasion. "Maybe," she said with a grin before looking up and giving Pippin a kiss on the cheek. "But I still love you too! Come on!"
When they arrived, Ari took an extra minute to make sure she looked all right, adjusting the skirt of her blue Hobbit-style dress carefully. Then, taking the arm Pippin offered her, they neared the party grounds.
"Happy birthday!" they called to Frodo and Bilbo, waving delightedly. Pippin ran off to go and fetch drinks, while Ari noticed that they were not the first ones there, as she had anticipated. A girl with fiery red hair stood gazing at the banquet of food. Ari recognized her as Eruraina and walked over to her, grinning. "Hey! Glad you could make it!"

Location: Why? You a stalker?
Amara and Aragorn walked along the dirt path through the beautiful and lush Shire, arm-in-arm. They were the best of friends, after having been through so much together; so it was only right to have him as her date to Bilbo and Frodo's birthday party. She smiled at all of the Hobbits that were running around and felt a pair of eyes on her. She looked up and saw Aragorn smirking at her a bit. She laughed and raised an eyebrow. "Why are you giving me that face, King of Gondor?" She asked teasingly and then playfully nudged him. "I know who you are looking forward to seeing tonight." He joked and then she laughed, shaking her head. "It doesn't matter... He's off limits." She said softly and then looked ahead.
Of course, they were talking about Legolas.
Making it to the large party tree, Amara knew that they were in the right place; seeing the large congratulatory banner and cakes. She giggled a bit, as she watched her friends Arabella and Eruraina walk in first with their dates. "HELLO THERE!" She yelled happily to her friends and waved to them, before seeing Frodo and Bilbo. She hurried over to them and gave them both big hugs. "Happy birthday, my friends!" She said happily.
Siggy set made by the amazing Lembas!

Istari
Location: aboard the Jolly Roger with Captain Hook!!
Lithoniel walked arm in arm with Alex down the path towards the party. She could already hear the band playing music and laughter coming from the party grounds. "They have a band playing?" Alex asked her. "Yes, of course! There's a band so there can be dancing!" She replied with a laugh. "Dancing? Really?" he replied, less than enthused. "Oh, there will be dancing Mr. O'Loughlin! Lots of dancing! Along with lots of food." she replied. He smiled down at her, her excitement rubbing off on him slightly. When they arrived at the grounds she gave a friendly wave to Amara and wished Bilbo and Frodo a happy birthday as she made her way towards the food table. "Oh, look at how they decorated the tree! And there's Eruraina and Arabella! Hey, how are y'all doing?!" She called out as she made her way towards them and the food table, pulling Alex along with her.

Noah's hand pulled Estelio back softly. She was heavily excited about the celebration, and couldn't wait to see the eleborate effort of decoration and everyone in their beautiful outfits, causing her to tug Noah foward slightly and she quickened her step in anticipation.
"What your rush, Estelio?" he asked, laughter on his lips. Estelio stopped slightly, looking back to her date. Realising her shrewd giddiness, she looked down in embarrassment.
"I'm sorry," she apologized, rubbing her forehead. "I can't wait to see everything. I've been waiting for this for for ages now." Noah's crooked smile balanced in the corner of his mouth. "I'm sorry. I came here with you. I'll retain myself. While i still can."
Walking onto the party grounds, Estelio was met with the sounds of merriment and Hobbit-style music playing from the local band upon the stage. Rows upon rows of delectable food attracted her gaze, but she decided to wait until more guests had arrived. Amara, Arabella, Eruraina, Lithoniel were gathered near the heavily lit party tree. She waved excitedly as their eyes met her arrival. Her hand almost slipped out of Noah's due to her feverishness. She looked back to him, where he was giving her a condescending look.
"You will come and find me for a dance, won't you?" he asked, brushing his fingertips against her palm. She nodded obediently.
"'Of course i will!" she answered. "But i haven't forgotten that Zimpharel allowed me one dance with Alex." She slipped her hand playfully from Noah's and continued towards the girls, her eyes speculating the wonderfull abiance of the celebration. This was sure to be party to end of parties.
FemElf
Rider of Rohan
Location: In Lothlorien
When she got off her horse, she wasn't quite as confident as she had been when she asked Elrond to accompany her to celebrate the birthday of both Bilbo and Frodo.
'El, I'm not too sure about this..' she said. 'Why not? And don't call me El, please.'
'Sorry,' Femke answered with a smile. 'It's just, I don't know anyone...'
'Don't worry, these people are all very nice, you'll get to know them soon enough. Look, isn't that Ari? She came with Pippin right?'
'Yes indeed! And next to her must be Eruraina.'
'See? You already know some.'
'You're right. Let's party!' she said with a smile as he offered her his arm.
I have gone to find myself. If I get back before I return, keep me here.

Ari waved happily to Lithoniel, who was dragging along some guy that Ari didn't recognize. She tapped her foot along with the music, a lively tune she recognized from one of her Celtic CDs. "Hey!" she called to Lithoniel and Estelio, waving them over. "Isn't this fantastic?"
"Your drink, my lady," Pippin said, coming up behind her and handing her an earthenware mug. He had another identical one in his hands, which he drank from. Ari eyed the mug worriedly. "What's the legal drinking age in the Shire?" she asked.
Pippin laughed out loud. "You're fine, believe me, Ari. But I know you well enough to know that you won't drink unless you really want to, and I felt I should ease you into it, at any case. Just take a sip."
Ari did, finding that the drink was, in fact, a harmless mug of apple cider. She gave Pippin a playful shove. "Good one."
"Hello!" she called to FemElf, who she had seen but didn't really know, as she entered with Lord Elrond. "Come join us!" She looked around at her friends and laughed. "Shall we place bets on how long it takes people to get out to the dance floor? Pip and I will be the first if no one else is brave enough." She took another sip of cider and gave a wink.
Aerliniel Baggins
Location: Running around a Family Dollar asking if they sell tasers... >:D
"I hope I'm not too late?" asked a shy looking hobbit girl with red hair, blue eyes and sheepish smile.
"Of course not," replied Frodo as he offered her his arm, "you're just in time for the next dance!"
"Oh! Wonderful!"
A fun song started playing as Frodo and Aerli danced on the now-crowded dance floor.
When the song was over, Aerli waved over Ari who rushed over to meet the newcomer.
(is this a role playing fame thing?)
Age is a state of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.

As entered the party grounds, Femke heard Ari call to her.
'Come on, let's meet them,' Elrond said with a smile.
Names and greetings were exchanged when they joined the group, but too soon people were dancing.
'Shall we?' asked Elrond.
'Well... Shouldn't we go wish Bilbo and Frodo a happy birthday first?' Femke replied a little hesitating.
But Lord Elrond immediately saw right through her. 'Why, you don't want to dance? It is a party...'
'Yes, well...' she watched Ari and Pippin swinging on the dance floor, and not far off Frodo was dancing with a girl she didn't know.
'I can't dance.' she admitted.
'Don't worry, I can.' Elrond smiled and led her to the dance floor.
The band segued from "N'il Sen La" to one that Ari recognized immediately, and she grinned. "Footloose? Really?"
Pippin grinned, finishing the rest of his ale in one gulp. "Dance with me!" he said.
Ari raised an eyebrow. "I thought we'd been over this. Despite being a theatre major who wants to focus on musical theatre, I cannot dance."
"Liar."
"Oh, you want me to prove it?"
Pippin grinned. "Yes. Besides, I want to get as many dances out of you as I can before you run away to dance with Frodo," he teased. Ari laughed, taking Pippin's hand. "There's more to you than meets the eye," she said as he led her onto the dance floor. "Who would have thought you liked dancing so much?"
As it turned out, Pippin was a great dancer, and Ari remembered more from her classes in swing and tap dancing than she thought. She laughed in delight as Pippin whirled her around, lifting her into the air and flipping her over and spinning. She had always thought that these kinds of dances, the kind that were prominent years ago, were more fun than the dancing that she knew in the 'real world.' When they finally stopped, she was flushed and breathless, but smiling. "I love dancing!" she panted. "Want to go again or get some more food?"
(For an example of what sort of dance we're doing, check out this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUsNpfXwEy0 Pay attention to the flips and spins when the couples are dancing!)
(So sorry, but it's pretty late here, so I have to go)
'Well, you lied to me,' said Elrond kindly. 'You are not a bad dancer at all.'
'I do do quite agreee with you there, but I certainly enjoyed it!' Femke answered with a smile.
They got a drink and stood watching the other couples dancing.
Then Bilbo joined them and they talked about the party.
When he left again (propably to get some cake) Elrond looked at the sky. 'Femke, I'm sorry, but I think it's time to go. It's still some journey back to Rivendell.'
'I suppose you're right. But how about we have one more dance, and then say goodbye to everyone?'
'That seems suitable to me.'
And with a smile, they both went to the dance floor to dance their last dance.

(Ari my date is the guy on my icon picture, I'm in an Alex mood lately, lol! and theater major, awesome!)
"This is the best party I've been to in quite some time!" Lith said a little breathlessly as she and Alex left the dance floor. "And awesome moves Ari! Its a good thing we're not doing a dance competition! Then again I can totally rock the Macarena dance." she added with a laugh. Alex headed for the food table and came back with a couple mugs of cider, handing two of the mugs to Ari and Pippin and one to Lith saying 'Figured we could all use something to drink."

(Aerliniel- we're having a Hobbit Party to celebrate Bilbo and Frodo's Brithday and for RotR so it's just some fun RP, there's dates and costumes here so you can see Who's with Who, and who's free to be dates hope that helps!
Femke: The Hobbit Party is on going so don't feel you have to leave just because it isn't the 22nd any more, it can continue indefinitely if we want
Ari: YESSSS musical Theatre geeks we will rule the world... not that I do Musical Theatre at uni, but It's my favourite hobby EVER! good choice of song
& Argh sorry I'm late university is 100% to blame D: I did nothing Hobbity on Hobbit Day, apart from drag myself around campus for various pointless meetings!)
"We are late."
"No We're Not."
"Yes We are. We're Late."
"Lembas. We aren't late. We're Fashionably Late- it's a completely different thing" Legolas reassured his Date
All the same, they were walking in arm in arm through Hobbiton towards the party field- that is if one could describe Legolas hurrying along and Lembas, with a fistful of skirts in one hand and the other firmly clamped on his elbow, desperately trying to keep up with him as 'walking arm in arm'. As the lights of the party tree came into view they stopped to compose themselves.
"Fashionably Late is still late" She said as she watched Legolas sweep a stray strand of hair behind his pointed ear and ask: "How Do I look?"
Giving him a smile she replied: "You look lovely as ever"
"You do as.." he started to reply until he was cut off with
"Oh No! No no nonononoooo!"
"But you d..." Legolas tried again, only to see his date- eyes wide- hitch up her skirts again and run full pelt towards the party cursing wildly.
Lembas was so proud to help Bilbo, Frodo and Elenthari organise this party that to see one of the tents come crashing down randomly was one of, if not the worst thing that could happen. As she ran, leaving her bewildered Date behind her, she vented her annoyance at being late, at the tent falling down, at the fact that she was wearing a maxi dress which ultimately meant at some point she would stand on her hem and fall over... oh.
The party lights lurched before her eyes and she tumbled head over heels, landing unceremoniously on the floor outside the party entrance. Bilbo's face was all of a sudden looming above hers and he informed Lembas that she had certainly made a spectacular entrance and suggested a career in gymnastics. Unseen hands dragged Lembas to her feet and she saw Finrod leading Zimmy out of what-was-once the tent. As if driven by some un-natural force, or Gandalf deciding that this would be a hilariously convenient, the band began to play 'It's My Party and I'll Cry if I want to'. Brushing herself down she realised all the panic was for nothing, she'd made a fool of herself and left Legolas behind to boot.
"You're pouting you know?" Okay so evidently she hadn't left Legolas behind, which Lembas thought to herself was a good thing. Plus Bilbo had already organised the re-construction of the tent, and her dress miraculously hadn't got dirty from her *ahem* entrance.
Maybe things weren't going to be so bad after all.
"You really do look beautiful" Legolas told her with a kiss on the cheek.
"Thank you. Do you realise, that you've got a hair loose from it's braid?" Lembas asked him, unable to hide her smirk as he put his hands to his head instantaneously.
"I'm just winding you up for being Mr Cool! And for teasing me for pouting" she told him with a Giggle.
Smiling Brightly at her Legolas offered his hand, which Lembas took gladly, and together they sought out Frodo, and Bilbo (again) in order to wish them a Happy Birthday.
Post subject: Re: RotR 2011 - HOBBIT PARTY
(Lembas: where is the list for whose paired up with who and who free and thing like that?)
After her dance with the younger birthday boy, Aerliniel was too excited to do anything else, so she sat with Frodo as he waited for Alanna to arrive. "I hope nothing's happened to her," said Aerli who was genuinely afraid that something had happened to her friend.
"Me too!" replied Frodo.
Just then Merry came along and asked if Frodo wouldn't mind his stealing the beautiful girl sitting next to him for a dance.
"Not at all!" laughed the hobbit.
Merry offered his arm to Aerli who only said, "Well, what if I don't want to dance with you?"
Frodo and Merry exchanged surprised glances. Aerli took the arm that was still crooked, "I'm just kidding! Of course I'll dance with you, Merry!" she laughed a long melodious laugh in which the other two hobbits joined in.
Just then another song started up. One that Aerli recollected hearing from her Celtic CD's!
"Oh! I like this one!"
"Then let's get started!" laughed the energetic Merry.
"Alright!"
Their dance was not as wonderful as Ari's and Pippin's, unfortunately, but at least the young hobbits dressed in bright colors were having as much fun as ever!
"After this dance, do you want to go and try those chocolate cheesecake muffins I brought?" asked Aerli.
"Choc- chocolate cheesecake muf- muffins? I never knew there was such a thing! Yes! Let's plan on that!"

Q: Chrome for Android content access from external app Is there any way to read page content (html source or DOM) from the active Chrome tab on Android devices?
Chrome for Android doesn't support extensions and there is no plans to implement Extension API on Chrome for Android in the nearest future (however, Chrome for iOS now supports App Extensions).
Some apps (for example, LastPass) can access web content inside web browser.
How can I get read access to the active web page? Are there any external Chrome APIs or something similar?
Any suggestion will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
A: It seems to be possible with Android Accessibility. I think the flag you need is FLAG_REQUEST_ENHANCED_WEB_ACCESSIBILITY, so you can inject JavaScript into the website.
As you can see in this blog by lastbpass, they use the same approach. In the video at 0:53, you see the accessibility features they use.

OpenJDK Governing Board Minutes: 2015/3/5
The OpenJDK Governing Board met via conference call on Thursday, 5 March 2015 at 16:00 UTC with the following agenda:
Vulnerability Group (NDA/License)
Five Board members were present: Georges Saab, John Duimovich, Andrew Haley, Doug Lea, and Mark Reinhold.
The intent of these minutes is to capture the conversational flow of the Board's discussion and also to record decisions. If you are interested only in the latter then search for the word "AGREED" throughout the text.
1. Vulnerability Group (NDA/License)
Georges started the discussion about the latest draft legal document by noting that he was aware that John had brought up a few points in e-mail, Andrew had comments, and Doug was interested in understanding any concerns. John wanted to review the section describing the concurrent release of a solution and its public announcement; his concerns were around what constitutes a "vulnerability fix". Various example scenarios were explored, including the following:
An actual solution which is included in a standard code refresh, perhaps a few weeks prior to the announcement
Any change in the code which coincidentally addresses the vulnerability, e.g., the addition of a new feature
Any change which coincidentally modifies code near the vulnerability, but does not address it
An entirely new piece of software containing portions of the source code, but not the portion containing the vulnerability
A work-around which prevents the exploit by modifying a server configuration
Andrew reminded everybody that if a member of the Vulnerability Group releases a fix prior to the announcement then it would likely lead to a scramble by the other members also to release a fix, possibly before full testing has been done. Georges noted that a worst-case scenario is that only a partial fix is provided. John was concerned that simultaneous solution and public announcement could result in longer exposure to a vulnerability that is strictly necessary.
Andrew observed that the simultaneous fix/announcement scenario was applicable to theoretical exploits, not zero-day attacks. Georges agreed and indicated that the document's intent was to avoid inadvertent public disclosure and suggested that the wording may need to be clarified. Andrew expected that if any Vulnerability Group member needs to release something quickly, the Group would have to be notified so that other members could react as necessary.
Discussion then moved to whether informing the Group of a vulnerability made it impossible for a member to provide a solution without Group consultation. Andrew believed that if knowledge is acquired through Group membership, then there is a responsibility to keep it confidential until the Group decides that it should be disclosed. Georges added that there should be no disincentive to be a member of the Group.
The Board briefly considered potential outcomes if a member were to release a fix prior to consultation with the Group. One possibility is that the Group accepts the reasons for the member's actions. Another possibility is that the action is considered a breach of trust, resulting in termination of membership.
Conversation turned toward a concern that some organizations may have existing customer agreements which require that knowledge of a vulnerability be disclosed to that customer. It is believed that trust is not transitive; hence, someone subject to such agreements may not be able to join the Group.
After additional discussion, John agreed to suggest updates to the document to address the concerns raised in the meeting.
At this point the Board adjourned. | {

Pakistan's Progressive Transgender Law Faces Opposition 4 Years Later
29 Sep 2022, 16:06 GMT+10
WASHINGTON - Pakistan is considering amending a landmark transgender rights bill passed in 2018 that some legislators and clerics argue contradicts Islamic teachings on gender identity.
Rights activists, however, say the law is being misunderstood and the "misinformed" debate against it is further endangering the transgender community.
Hailed as among the more progressive laws on transgender rights globally by the International Commission of Jurists, the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act gave transgender people in Pakistan the right to choose their gender identity as they perceived it themselves and to change it on previously issued government documents.
Opponents of the law claim the provision to choose or change one's gender is un-Islamic and could open the door to same-sex marriage, currently prohibited in Pakistan.
In the last two weeks, at least four trans women have been killed. Some trans-rights activists blame lumping "transgender" together with "homosexuality" for the renewed targeting of their community. Homosexuality is a punishable offense in Pakistan.
Hashtags such as "amend trans act" and "take back the vulgar bill" were recently trending on Twitter.
Senator Mushtaq Ahmad Khan, a member of the conservative political party Jamat-e-Islami, is leading the charge against the 2018 law. He told VOA that allowing citizens to choose self-perceived gender identity presents a "danger to the family and inheritance systems," as it will "open the door for 220 million people to choose to be anything."
Pakistan uses the Islamic system of inheritance, which divides assets among descendants based on their gender. Men get twice as much as women. The act stipulated that a person identifying as a trans man would also get twice as much as a trans woman.
2018 law
Pakistan's 2018 law defines transgender as anyone with a mixture of male and female genital features or ambiguous genitalia, a person assigned male at birth but who has undergone castration, or any person whose gender identity or expression differ from their assigned sex at birth.
Khan told VOA he does not believe "fully male" or "fully female" persons should be given the right to choose their gender if their gender perception does not match their physical or sexual anatomy. Instead, "they should seek psychological help," he said.
He said the law should only encompass those who cannot be categorized as male or female at birth based on their sexual or reproductive anatomy.
His proposed amendments to the 2018 law include establishing medical boards that conduct detailed exams and then advise what gender a person should be.
Transgender rights activists oppose examination by a medical board to determine sexual and gender identity. Speaking to VOA, activist Zanaya Chaudhry asked that since a medical exam is not required to determine a man or a woman's gender identity, "why is this discriminatory act being forced upon transgender people?"
According to Chaudhry, the purpose of the 2018 legislation was only to protect the rights of transgender people, whom she said, "were finally being accepted as human beings."
Harassment, death threats
Abandoned by families and relegated to mostly begging, dancing or sex work due to social stigma, transgender people in Pakistan routinely suffer harassment and many face death threats and fatal attacks.
According to data collected by the International Commission of Jurists and its partner organizations, at least 20 transgender people were killed in Pakistan in 2021.
Only a decade ago, in 2012, the country's top court ruled that transgender people have the same rights as all other citizens and ordered that a "third gender" category be added to national identity cards.
That ruling paved the way for the 2018 legislation, which expressly prohibited discrimination against transgender people in educational institutions, workplaces and health care, and it guaranteed them a share in inheritance.
Human rights activist and lawyer Hina Jilani rejects the notion the 2018 law is against Islam. She told VOA it's perplexing that "a law that gave identity to a marginalized community and was passed by the parliament is being objected to now."
Some transgender rights activists, however, are also dissatisfied with the language of the 2018 law.
Speaking to VOA, transgender rights activist Almas Bobby lamented that the trans community is still heavily stigmatized and unable to avail basic rights. Bobby contended the number of "real" transgender people in Pakistan is quite small and that this law protects those "who want to change their sex only because of a personal preference."
Like Khan, Bobby also believes that only those with ambiguous genitalia should be called transgender.
New proposals
This week, Fawzia Arshad, a senator from one of the most popular political parties, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI), also introduced a new bill to replace the 2018 legislation.
The proposals by senators Khan and Arshad focus on only protecting those with genital ambiguities and removing the clauses that allow a transgender person to choose their gender identity as they perceive it and spell their share in family inheritance.
The Senate chairman has forwarded the matter to the relevant standing committee for review.
The country's religious court, known as Federal Shariat Court, is also reviewing arguments in favor of and against the 2018 law.
Earlier, the Council on Islamic Ideology, a constitutional body that reviews Pakistan's laws in the light of the Quran and the Prophet Muhammad's teachings, also declared the 2018 law un-Islamic for allowing one to choose self-perceived gender and gender reassignment.
While Pakistan's law minister, Azam Nazir Tarar, has rejected the criticism of the law being un-Islamic as "baseless propaganda," he has welcomed Khan's proposed amendments, telling a press conference the word of the religious court will now be final.
In 2018, the transgender rights legislation passed with the support of all major political parties, although it was rejected by religious parties, including Khan's Jamat-e-Islami.
In 2021, when Khan first raised the issue to amend the law, Shireen Mazari, then the human rights minister from the ruling party PTI, opposed the move.
Why is the issue now gaining traction? Khan said his consistent work on this matter is finally paying off. | {

There are a number of reasons a person may want to transfer an ISA, such as finding they could achieve a better interest rate with a different provider or to consolidate your money together to make it easier to manage, however it is important to try and ensure you follow the correct transfer process so as not to miss out on some of your annual ISA allowance.
All ISAs have to allow you to transfer to another provider, but they may impose a penalty for doing so. However providers do not have to allow transfers in. Once you have found an ISA you would like to switch to and checked that it permits transfers then you will need to complete and send the ISA transfer form, you're new and previous ISA providers will then arrange for the ISA transfer to happen, once transferred the previous ISA manager will give the new ISA manager a written notice containing information and a declaration which is known as a transfer history form, your new provider will contact you once the transfer is complete.
It is now possible to transfer from between different ISA types for example from a Cash ISA into a Stocks and Shares ISA or vice versa. When transferring between from a Cash ISA into another Cash ISA the process should be completed within 15 working days.
Industry guidelines currently recommend that the transfer process when involving Stocks and Shares ISAs should take 30 days from start to finish. But as this kind of ISA can include a range of different investments each potentially taking different amounts of time to close or sell it could take longer than 30 days for a provider to prepare the money within the account to be transferred.
It is a good idea to shop around to try and find the best product for needs. If your current ISA provider would impose a penalty for transferring and you are moving to another provider to achieve a better rate of interest on your savings then you may wish to first work out if the penalty would negate the potential benefits of changing provider. | {

Q: send popup in desktop application from asp.net web page I have a web application and on that application i update a sql database ...what i want is that when i update the database from the web application a notification will be sent to any one openening my application or a pop up appears to them on their desktop informing them that the database is updated to check all this will be in an intranet.
I'm using ASP.Net and I'm the admin for all the PCs in the network and the server.
Does anyone knows how i can do this ?
A: Build a desktop application that polls the database regularly or better write a HTTP/REST service where desktop application poll frequently.
A: What you need is a WCF duplex service your website and your windows clients connect to. With such a service you can use callback methods to inform your windows clients through the service. But be aware that this is normally an intranet and not an internet scenario because such an wcf binding has problems with internet infrastructure (Proxies, Firewalls, ...)

Pourquoi pas moi ? (literalment en català, "Perquè no jo?") és una pel·lícula francesa de 1999, escrita i dirigida per Stéphane Giusti i ambientada a Barcelona. Relata la història de Camille (Amira Casar), Eva (Julie Gayet), Ariane (Alexandra London) i Nico (Bruno Putzulu), quatre amics homosexuals que treballen junts en la seva pròpia editorial, i que decideixen preparar un sopar per a sortir de l'armari amb els seus pares.
La pel·lícula va tenir puntuacions baixes tant a Internet Movie Database (6,4) com a Filmaffinity (5,2) i Rotten Tomatoes (59%), i comentaris no gaire afavoridors per part de la crítica, tret de les que van aparèixer als diaris francesos, com Le Figaro i Le Parisien. Tot i així, l'any 1999 va guanyar el premi a la millor pel·lícula lèsbica al Festival de Cinema Lèsbic i Gai de Seattle, i l'any següent els del jurat a la millor pel·lícula i el del públic a la millor direcció al Festival de Cinema Gai i Lèsbic de Miami.
Argument
Camille, Nico i Eva dirigeixen una editorial que van crear especialitzada en manga i ciència-ficció. Camille viu des de fa tres anys amb Ariane, mentre que Nico i Eva, que també són homosexuals, fa quatre anys que fan veure que tenen una relació per complaure els pares d'Eva. Només Lili, la seva secretària, és heterosexual. A excepció de Camille, la mare de la qual ho sap tot, tant els pares d'Eva com els de Nico i Ariane desconeixen l'orientació sexual dels seus fills. Aquests decideixen organitzar un sopar amb els pares dels cinc protagonistes per sortir de l'armari. Lili també hi participarà, fingint per un moment ser lesbiana per posar a prova els seus propis pares. La mare de Nico, una famosa cantant italiana, retrobarà l'amor de la seva joventut en aquell sopar. Després de les primeres dificultats per acceptar els fills, l'ambient es relaxarà en tota la casa i només el pare d'Ariane marxarà per sempre, deixant la seva dona i la seva filla per afrontar aquesta nova vida.
