In the footprint of Old Vernon
November 5, 2017 By Doug in Alberta-Vernon, Builders, Concordia, Lost Buildings, Neighborhood History Tags: Alberta, Concordia neighborhood, Ken Birkemeier Architect, Vernon School	1 Comment
In the spirit of knowing that pretty much everything is connected, we were intrigued to learn of the ties between mid-century modern builder Kenny Birkemeier (1905-1996) and the old Vernon School block south of Alberta between NE 22nd and NE 23rd.
Frequent AH readers will recall the story of Old Vernon (which is one of our favorites), the giant wood frame structure that once occupied much of the block bounded by Wygant, Going, NE 22nd and NE 23rd. It's a fascinating story of Portland's early school building challenges, the growth of a neighborhood and the all-too-frequent fate of Portland's early all-wood institutions. And there's virtually no trace left even though its impact on the neighborhood during its heyday cannot be overstated. Learning about Old Vernon was a bit like a curtain going up to reveal an entirely different neighborhood that once was.
Readers will also recall that Ken Birkemeier was one of Portland's most prolific and resourceful builders between the mid-1930s and the 1950s. Dozens of his homes, most with a distinct family resemblance of Roman brick, ornamented brick facades and whimsically placed oval windows, can be found in nearby northeast Portland neighborhoods.
So–you're wondering–how do these stories connect?
(Spoiler alert if you haven't already read our piece about Old Vernon…maybe you should go do that first.)
In the aftermath of the big fire, the school district contracted with Rose City Wrecking in March 1933 to haul off the burned remains and to demolish and remove anything else still standing on Block 54, which they did. An aerial photo from 1936 shows the footprint of the burned building and lots of open land.

The mid-1930s were not a great time for homebuilding in Portland, so Block 54 sat vacant for a few years. The Great Depression killed the real estate market and tightened down on much of the available money to build or to buy. But gradually the market returned and our resourceful Mr. Birkemeier acquired the entirety of Block 54: all 18 lots.
Our review of city permits, prompted by eagle-eyed AH reader Michael Johnson, shows Birkemeier began building in October 1940 on the south end of Block 54 (2225 NE Going and 4621 NE 23rd, to be exact) and worked his way north. He finished the last of the 18 houses on that block in the winter of 1944 with a pair of duplexes at 2210 and 2232 NE Wygant.
Ken Birkemeier was a talented builder, and an effective marketer as well. Many of his homes from that era were featured in The Oregonian, including photos of the houses and occasionally of him too. But a careful review of past issues from those construction years didn't turn up anything from Block 54.
So here's an opportunity for you to go walk along the invisible fault lines of the past, from the long-ago schoolyard, to the brand new block of the 1940s, to the changing neighborhood of today. Make no mistake, change is our constant companion. That's how it always has been and how it should be. How we change will explain a lot to the future about what we value today.
Birkemeier always remembered his first house
June 24, 2015 By Doug in Builders, House Styles, Memories, Old Photos Tags: Ken Birkemeier Architect, Storybook Homes	1 Comment
Ken Birkemeier, the prolific Alameda neighborhood designer and homebuilder, always remembered the first house he ever built: a cute little English storybook style home at 829 NE 41st.
829 NE 41st Avenue. Ken Birkemeier's first homebuilding project. Photograph is from a 1932 story in The Oregonian about the sale of unused public property. The lot, located on a small peninsula just across the street from Laurelhurst School, had been kept in reserve in case the city needed it for school purposes, but was eventually purchased and developed by Birkemeier.
Birkemeier, whose work has come to signify the best of the Mid-Century Modern movement in Portland, built more than two dozen homes here in Alameda alone, often on steep or challenging lots.
According to homeowner and AH reader Gary Groce, Birkemeier dropped by one day during his later life, sometime in the late 1980s or early 1990s, like a salmon returning back to where it all began. Groce wrote us recently with this account of his impromptu visit with the Mid-century Master.
As I recall, I was outside the house working on something when this largish car pulled up with an older couple inside. They were looking at the house. I walked over to the car and he introduced himself. My impression was that he had recently married this charming woman and wanted to show her the first house that he built. We invited them in and showed them things we had done to restore the house as close to original as possible including the re-acquisition of original art-deco slipper shade lights, etc.
I vividly remember him telling me as he looked at the mahogany beamed ceiling… "when we got the garage up, I used that as a shop and I remember cutting those brackets for the beams on my band saw in the garage."
I remember him saying, "I used the best materials I could find because I wanted it to be right."
I lamented to him that the original fireplace façade in the living room had been changed at least twice and that someday, I hoped to restore it to original. He very graciously invited me to his home in the west hills as he thought he might have blue prints, and sketches of the fireplace. I took him up on his offer. I remember his home being this unbelievable, sprawling mid century modern with a fantastic view. In retrospect, that home was undoubtedly of his own design and build. Unfortunately, he couldn't seem to find anything of interest on our house so we just spent our time visiting.
I came away with the impression that this was a very successful, intelligent man who never lost the common touch. Very warm and personable.
In the years following the passing of his wife of 50 years (Marge), Birkemeier married Ramona, who he evidently wanted to see where all the homebuilding work began. Birkemeier died in 1996. The last house he built in Alameda is at 2830 NE Regents Drive (1952).

With thanks to Gary for sharing this memory.
Ken Birkemeier, Prolific Alameda Builder

A collection of images relating to Ken Birkemeier. Top left, Ken and his wife of 50 years Marge. Below, homes he built in the neighborhood. More pictures in The Builders section. Photos and drawings courtesy of Dan Birkemeier.
After a very interesting few weeks of research, correspondence with the Birkemeier family, and lots of walking around the neighborhood looking at dozens of houses he built, I've posted some background on local architect and builder Kenneth L. Birkemeier. You'll find the details (and some more photos) over in the new section called The Builders (click here). It was great to hear memories from various family members, particularly the story from his grandson Dan, who is today an architect in Seattle.
You'll note that I'm inviting your stories or photos of Birkemeier homes, so let me hear from you and I'll share them here on the blog.
The new section is up to four major builders now, with dozens more to go. One thought that occurred as I walked around the neighborhood this week is that Irwin, Read and Berkemeier must have known each other. Between the three of them, they designed and built dozens of houses here in the neighborhood…they must have been bumping into each other along the way.
Next on my list is Harry Phillips, who designed and built many of the homes along Ridgewood and Gile Terrace in the late 1920s. I also want to delve into the history behind the reference to the "Town of Wayne," which is a small plat south of Fremont and between 32nd and 29th.
Inquiring minds want to know: Who was Wayne?

City of a Perilous Legacy
Author Venera Fazio
On June 10, 1940, and in the months following, while Canada was at war against Italy, hundreds of Italian Canadian men across the country were arrested by virtue of the War Measures Act. Terrified men, some as young as eighteen and others in their seventies, were whisked away to internment camps in the Canadian bush to serve a sentence as "enemy aliens"; yet they were never formally charged with any crime.
A first-hand account of these events of Orwellian magnitude is La Ville Sans Femmes by Mario Duliani, published in French in 1945 and translated into English as The City Without Women by Antonino Mazza in 1994.
"Imagine," says Antonino Mazza from his home in Ottawa, "you do not know what you have done wrong or for how long you will be punished … you live in suspension, in limbo … you experience a huge torment of being alive and great anxiety." With Mazza's translation of Mario Duliani's text, renewed attention was focused on the trauma and injustice inflicted on these Canadian-born or naturalized citizens.
The events that began on June 10, 1940, would have far-reaching consequences, not only for the internees, but also for their families and for the fabric of Italian Canadian culture. They also foreshadowed the racial profiling of today, as we wage yet another global war – the war on terrorism!
Antonino Mazza, poet and award-winning translator, knew about the internment long before he translated Duliani's book. "In the Italian community where I grew up, people knew about the camps. They would whisper about it, but not talk openly. They tried to keep it a secret. There was a lot of shame surrounding the subject," he explains.
Mario Duliani, who died in Montreal in 1964 at the age of 79, served a forty-month sentence, first in Camp Petawawa near Ottawa and then in Gagetown, New Brunswick. A year after the publication of La Ville Sans Femmes, Duliani published La Città senza Donne, an Italian translation of his original account. Few paid attention to his chronicle, and those who did, dismissed it by maligning the author. "[Discrediting Duliani] was a total red-herring," says Mazza, his voice rising. "He was a well-respected journalist, playwright, and a prominent leader in the literary and artistic communities of Montreal. People focused on his political leanings, on whether or not he was a fascist, instead of paying attention to what he wrote about."
The City Without Women is a documentary infused with poetic language. To maintain the privacy of his fellow inmates, Duliani does not mention anyone by name or dwell in depth on any one individual. Instead, he provides an overview of life within the camps. The men lived in stark physical surroundings. Both camps were set up in isolated locations surrounded by miles of forest. The barracks did not have electricity and the prisoners slept on iron bunk beds. There were bars on the windows, and barbed wire circled the camps.
A number of the men were members of Fascio, the Canadian branch of Mussolini's Fascist Party, but the majority had been arrested because of their visibility within their Italian communities. They were leaders, professional men of importance, businessmen, members of Italian social clubs, and participants in parades organized by the Italian Consulate. "Their greatest crime was to show emotional loyalty to their country of origin," emphasizes Mazza. They were arrested for no reason other than their ethnic heritage. Duliani reports that one man did not even know, until he arrived at the camp, that Italy had declared war on the Allies. Every profession and trade was represented, including a member of parliament, doctors, lawyers, engineers, musicians, farmers, gangsters, labourers, students, ministers, and a Catholic priest. Some were able to practice their trades within the camps, but most helped build roads, cleared brush, or cut timber to fire the camp's furnaces and stoves. Those unsuitable for hard labour worked at lighter chores, such as kitchen duties. Others who had been mentally fragile before they were interned suffered relapses and had to be transferred to mental institutions. Almost all of the internees endured bouts of depression and anxiety.
"The value of the past radically increased . . ." writes Duliani. "At moments the nostalgia for a landscape, for a face, a voice, bursts in our hearts and … chokes us… Our collective temperament is dictated by the loss of our women." Men over fifty who were close to reaching the high point of their careers "feared the inadvertent crumbling of the edifices they had built with the dedicated patience, hard work, and the sacrifices of a lifetime."
Duliani was one of the lucky ones. He resumed his pre-internment life. "Many others did not," says Mazza. "[Because of the stigma,] they changed their names. Some moved to other cities. They developed strategies to disappear within their communities."
During the internment, the Italian communities across Canada collapsed, their leaders no longer there, and their social clubs and organizations erased. Health care deteriorated with the forced exile of Italian-speaking doctors. The communities were rife with confusion, discouragement, and resentment. Italian Canadians began to hide their ethnicity. Later, those who had immigrated before the Second World War distanced themselves from the post-war Italian immigrants. "They were too Italian for their taste," states Mazza. "They considered them uncivilized and called them nicknames like 'greenhorn.' The established Italians wanted the newcomers to shut down their cultural volume." Post-war immigrants, hoping for a helping hand from their countrymen, had to look elsewhere. It took decades for the Italian-Canadian communities to re-establish themselves.
Now, more than sixty years after the internment, our country is once again grappling with racial profiling, this time ensnaring Arabs and Muslims. "We are moving towards total bigotry," emphasizes Mazza. "[The passing of Canada's anti-terrorism laws, Bills C-36, C-22, C-35, and C-42] is the most vile suppression of civil rights yet, far worse than the War Measures Act. In a sweeping fashion, Bill C-36 obliterates the Charter of Rights and Freedoms." It represents a precarious balance between civil rights and national security. The anti-terrorism laws allow the government to arrest without warrants, hold secret trials based on secret evidence, and convict without proof of criminal intent. Because trials can be conducted in secrecy," Mazza continues, "no one knows what is going on…
Rocco Galati, a constitutional lawyer from Toronto, is familiar with "secret" trials. In a speech to the Justice Committee on November 6, 2001, he stated, "… there are approximately 800 illegal detentions in this country currently going on in the correctional centres … Muslims and Arabs have been directed not to be able to phone their lawyers, see their lawyers, phone their families … I see it in jails everyday."
"We have a militaristic approach to solving problems," protests Mazza. "We seem to take a concentration camp approach." It's a paradox that our country turns against its own, and chooses to trample on the rights of citizens in order to protect itself from predators. "All immigrants are here by invitation," Mazza adds. "We ask them to come, yet we do not create a safe environment for them … I think Trudeau got it right with his Charter of Rights and Freedoms."
In his introductory essay to Duliani's book, Mazza quotes the Mayan proverb, "Those who do not know their history cannot predict their own future." By translating The City Without Women, Mazza makes sure that the history of the Italian internment will not be forgotten. He also forces us to think about how we and our children might remember the profiling and internment of Muslims and Arabs sixty years from now.

The Vatican Names St. Peter's Catholic Church a Minor Basilica
The Vatican's Congregation for Divine Worship and Discipline of the Sacraments recently issued a decree granting Saint Peter's Catholic Church in Columbia the title 'Minor Basilica.' This makes the church the first basilica in the Diocese of Charleston which comprises the entire state of South Carolina; it is the 85 th in the United States. "We are humbled the Holy See has honored Saint Peter's with the designation of Minor Basilica. This action acknowledges the parish's historic beauty, devoutly celebrated liturgies and growing vitality. I hope we will be a place of pilgrimage that inspires the Christian faithful for years to come," said the Very Reverend Canon Gary S. Linsky, Rector/Pastor of Saint Peter's.
The 111-year-old Roman Catholic Church is now officially named "The Basilica of Saint Peter." The Most Reverend Robert E. Guglielmone, Bishop of Charleston, and Father Linsky made the announcement during today's 11:00 a.m. Mass. "We are honored to now have a minor basilica in South Carolina. We hold this parish in high esteem because of its spiritual and historical significance to the Diocese of Charleston," said Bishop Guglielmone.
Saint Peter's had its origin in 1821 when the Diocese of Charleston's first bishop, John England, sent Fr. Dennis Corkery to minister to Irish workers building a local canal. Construction of the original parish church began in 1824 and survived the burning of Columbia near the end of the Civil War. It was replaced by the current, neo-Gothic church in 1907.
The word basilica is derived from a Greek term meaning "royal house." In the Catholic world, a basilica is a church building that has been accorded special privileges by the pope. There are two kinds of basilicas. The world's four major, or papal, basilicas are St. John Lateran, St. Peter, St. Paul Outside the Walls, and St. Mary Major, all in Rome.
Minor, or lesser, basilicas are significant churches in Rome and elsewhere in the world that meet certain criteria and are given special ecclesiastical privileges. Minor basilicas are traditionally named because of their antiquity, dignity, historical value, architectural and artistic worth, and significance as centers of worship. A basilica must "stand out as a center of active and pastoral liturgy," according to the 1989 Vatican document Domus ecclesiae.
Saint Peter's has the added historical significance of being the only parish church in the Diocese of Charleston, and all but Miami in the American South East, to have hosted a papal visit when then Pope now Saint John Paul II led an ecumenical prayer service on September 11, 1987, during his fourth Papal visit to the United States. Additional information about The Basilica of Saint Peter may be found at visitstpeters.org or at Facebook/visitstpeters.

Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing end season with Sato 9th and Rahal 10th in standings
Motorsport Technology
The Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing team brought the curtain down on an eventful 2019 season at the Firestone Grand Prix after Graham Rahal finished 12th and Takuma Sato 21st.
It was something of an anti-climactic end to an encouraging season for the Acronis partner team that saw them gain two wins, two poles and two more podiums, and it could have been so much better had Sato not been hit by Santino Ferrucci in Turn 2, dropping him to the back of the field.
THANK YOU, fans!
🇯🇵 @TakumaSatoRacer finished 9th in 2019 series standings
🇺🇸 @GrahamRahal finished 10th in 2019 series standings
Congratulations to @josefnewgarden and @Team_Penske on the 2019 @IndyCar championship. Bravo.

— Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing (@RLLracing) September 22, 2019
Even so, Sato, who recorded wins at Barber and St. Louis, gained further places and was still in position to finish sixth in the drivers' standings but a pit stop to check for damage meant that he finished 21st.
"In the race, we had some issues and a mechanical failure in the end," said Sato. "It is a shame that we couldn't finish high and try to get fifth in the championship. In the end we dropped significantly in the standings. The No. 30 car ran beautifully this season with Graham and I pushing each other all season. We will come back even stronger next season and I'm really looking forward to that. Thank you to everyone for their support."
Despite his disappointing Firestone result, Sato has every right to be encouraged by a season that saw him sit atop the podium on two occasions.
"I think the season was great. It was a little bit up and down of course but we achieved a couple of pole positions, a couple of podiums and two wins and I think it was a great season. I can't thank everyone enough for their support. We had some difficult circumstances but the team was fully behind me and I was able to push all the way through the season."
For his part, Rahal looked set for a good result with which to finish the season on a high after starting eighth before losing out to Ryan Hunter-Reay and Ferrucci, dropping to 11th on Lap 5 when also passed by Felix Rosenqvist.
He ran as high as fifth before his second stop but after the field once again settled into true running order after the third and final stop, 12th was the final reward for his efforts.
Finished 12th today in the #FirestoneGP and 10th overall for the 2019 #Indycar season. Despite a tough year, I'm so proud of this team for keeping their chins up & working hard. Thanks to all our sponsors, partners & fans for the encouragement & support! On to 2020 #gr15 #15in19 pic.twitter.com/lf8l8mPOr4
— Graham Rahal (@GrahamRahal) September 22, 2019
"Today was a tough day. I thought at times that we had decent pace and at other times we really struggled with the rear of the car," said Rahal. "We're just missing a little something. We've been close this year but not quite there. I'm proud of our mechanics and all of the guys for keeping their heads down and continuing to work hard. It wasn't the easiest of years but everyone stayed positive and fought until the end. We're thankful for all of our partners and looking forward to 2020."

Her favourite things to make are tumblers and cups, because tea and coffee drinking is such a common daily ritual. She likes the thought of sharing that universal experience with her customers.
Marita works on an electric potters wheel, and describes the physical process of her work as integral. She creates objects as authentic and honest as possible.
"There is a real place for hand-made things in a sea of mass production. I throw my pots on a wheel, and fire in an electric kiln. Most of my domestic ware is earthenware, and is slip decorated (slip is a coloured liquid clay applied before firing)."
Marita also likes the fun of making jewellery, but works exclusively in porcelain for this, as it has the greatest strength and clear white colour.

A Californian shrub could be used to tackle brain aging, research reports

A new study, reported in Redox Biology, discovered that a compound found in a Californian shrub can be used to tackle brain aging and maybe even Alzheimer's disease.
It is still very early but until now, the compound has been shown to possess many interesting neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects when tested on mouse cells.
Alzheimer's is a type of dementia which causes memory, thinking, and behavioral problems. Its symptoms develop slowly and get worse with time, becoming severe enough to affect daily tasks. Therefore, researchers found a Californian shrub which could help to treat this serious disorder.
The therapeutic plant is called yerba santa (Eriodictyon californicum), a Spanish word for "sacred herb". It has been used by Native Californian tribes for the treatment of several ailments. So, the research team considered it, together with many other plants, when searching for promising medicinal compounds.
Yerba santa contains sterubin, which is a flavonoid compound. Various flavonoids have anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties so the team was concerned to see the effects of sterubin and other flavonoids on nerve cells of the mouse. They discovered that sterubin was active against multiple cell death inducers.
According to the researchers, this compound was known but actually ignored. Not only did sterubin turn out to be more active than the other flavonoids in yerba santa in analyses, but it also seems as good as, if not better than, other studied flavonoids.
The compound has a great influence on energy reduction and inflammation of nerve cells, chiefly microglial cells. It is an iron remover, which is basically a good response as iron can cause nerve cell damage. It also decreases the buildup of misfolded proteins and reduces the inflammation in aging nerve cells.
Researchers reported that Alzheimer's disease is a leading cause of death in the U.S. In addition, as age is a chief risk factor, investigators are looking at ways to counter effects of aging on the brain. Hence, this identification of sterubin as an effective neuroprotective component is a promising step in that track.
The researchers now design a plan for the investigation of this compound's effects on living animal models of Alzheimer's like mice. They are concerned in the determination of the effects of sterubin and its toxicity.
The research team also proposes that it could be probable to test these therapeutic compounds in humans. Though the plants would have to be grown under identical conditions. According to them, they see no major complications when it comes to producing an artificial form of sterubin.

Aesthetics, Under Construction
March 14, 2013 Katherine Speller A&E 0
Beyond the blue fences and "Pardon Our Appearance" signs of the Wooster Science Building (WSB) construction site, a duotone orange and black warrior fires an arrow into the eye of a massive whiskered fish.
On the other side of campus, its sister painting depicts a whale breaching out of the spray-painted waters that appeared on the wood walls of the unfinished Sojourner Truth Library renovations.
The street art first appeared within the closed-off construction sites in the fall semester, somewhere in the timeframe of November and December, University Police Chief David Dugatkin said. Dugatkin said the paintings are considered "graffiti" as they are defacing and "technically damaging" campus buildings, requiring at least a bit of maintenance to remove them.
"I respect the art, whatever it might be," Dugatkin said. "It's just a matter of where it is put."
The primary concern of the college is the dangerous locations of the graffiti, Dugatkin said, as the artist climbed into locked construction areas to create the paintings.
"We're a learning institution and part of this is learning," Dugatkin said. "Certainly artists want their work to be seen — as they should — but it doesn't necessarily have to be somewhere where you put yourself or others in danger, or when it damages a building."
Director of Facilities Management John McEnrue said the safety of the sites belong with the contractor, so "they have every right to prosecute trespassers" who are putting themselves at risk.
McEnrue said the vandalism likely occurred during weekday evenings when contractors were not on site. As a result of the acts, McEnrue said security cameras — capable of working in the evenings — are now placed throughout the sites to discourage any future trespassers.
Third-year visual arts major Manny Robertson said he is "pro-graffiti," provided the work isn't offensive or "in the way." He said he doesn't see an issue with the paintings being on temporary surfaces like the construction sites.
"It's a form of painting and expression and there are some mighty fine graffiti artists," Robertson said. "And it's not permanent, for the most part."
Robertson said the paintings make his walk to class more enjoyable. He said the "giant fish with a being on its back" riding toward "the warhorse that is Jacobson Faculty Tower" is particularly striking.
Third-year philosophy and creative writing major Marcella Guarino said the paintings stand out beautifully compared to the construction site canvas.
"Though the artist probably didn't get permission to use those walls, it's far from vandalism," Guarino said. "I'd even say that they have definitely become a part of the New Paltz campus."
Third-year interpersonal communications major Rachel Kilimnik said she saw several students posting and sharing pictures of the different works on Facebook and Instagram, and most seem to be proud of the "creative environment" of New Paltz.
"I don't think there is a single student who has walked past the construction site and thought negative things about it," Kilimnik said.
Kilimnik said she was impressed by the paintings when she first saw them crop up on campus. She doesn't believe the "art" is vandalism.
"Graffiti defaces property and art enhances it," Kilimnik said.

Biden says a 'slight' recession is possible, but doesn't anticipate it
by: Alex Gangitano, The Hill via Nexstar Media Wire
(The Hill) – President Biden on Tuesday night said there is a possibility of a "slight recession," while reiterating his stance that he doesn't think there will be one at all in the U.S.
"No," Biden said when asked by CNN's Jake Tapper if Americans should prepare for a recession.
"It hadn't happened yet," the president added later. "There's no guarantee that they're going to be. I don't think there will be a recession. If it is, it'll be a very slight recession. That is, we'll move down slightly."
Biden argued that the U.S. is in a better position than any other major country economically while acknowledging that "we still have real problems."
He said that the American Rescue Plan, which was the COVID-19 relief package, as well as the Inflation Reduction Law, which was the Democrats' sweeping climate and tax bill, have helped position the economy.
US headed to recession that was 'totally avoidable,' chief economist says
"I mean, there's so much that's been accomplished," Biden said. "There's an automaticity to a recession, and it's just not, it's just not there…they've been predicting this off and on…"
Tapper noted though that Biden said a slight recession is possible.
"It is possible. Look, it's possible. I don't anticipate it," Biden replied.
The president has said that a recession is not inevitable since June when the Federal Reserve first raised interest rates. Fed officials have vowed not to let up fighting inflation, even if it means driving the economy toward a recession and it plans to raise interest rates again before the end of the year.
Biden also argued in his interview with CNN that Democrats have something to run on in the upcoming midterm elections, criticizing Republicans by asking what their platform is.
"The first thing they said they're going to do is get rid of the Inflation Reduction Act. And so what's that do? They're going to raise drug prices, raise medical costs again. Be sure that we're going to no longer be able to have the ability to have tax credits for weatherizing your homes," Biden said, noting provisions inside the Inflation Reduction Act.

HEAD FIRST FOOTBALL
Football Background
Life Background
← Sir Alex Ferguson
The Process →
Chapter 1:
Posted on May 18, 2013 by Head First Football
It is funny how often we find symmetry within our life. It is as if we are books and we would fall over without proper bookends to hold up our stories.
My bookends take the form of a football ground. Officially called "Coral Windows Stadium" for commercial purposes, Bradford City's home is better known to the football world as "Valley Parade".
It was only a couple of days after I first arrived in England in late August that I went down to watch the Bantams play vs AFC Wimbledon. The team and the ground is full of history: a history both personal and cultural; both joyful and tragic.
It was nearly a century ago that my Great-Grandfather played for Bradford City and it is also just over a century ago (1911) that they famously won the historic FA Cup. Since then, the clubs history has been a heart-wrenching mix of hope, fear, and tragedy.
In 1985, Valley Parade was the scene of a horrific stadium fire that killed 56 people and shocked the football world. Years of fluctuation and mediocrity followed, until in 1999 Bradford City finally returned to the pinnacle of English Football: The Premier League.
Hope sprang eternal for the newly promoted club until they were hit with some serious financial problems and relegated shortly after. This was followed by rapid decline and as recently as 2001 they nearly fell out of the Football League (comprised of the top 4 divisions) altogether.
This year has been another year of hope, as the Bantams heroically made it to the League Cup final at Wembley, beating 3 Premier League clubs on the way (Bradford is 3 leagues below the premier league). They are returning to Wembley once again for their league playoff final, where they can clinch promotion to the third tier of English Football.
Aside from the fire, thankfully, Bradford City's fluctuating history of hope and disappointment is a familiar tale. It's mine.
This first year of mine in England has been full of hope, but equally littered with it's miseries. After arriving full of hope, was met with a slow and demoralizing start. I struggled to get into any team, at any level, until I was finally able to get into training with Guiseley AFC, a well-respected local side in the 6th tier of English Football. I eventually stayed on with them for the remainder of the season.
While I was personally frustrated with the lack of chances that I was given to play, it was an exciting club to be at as they were favorites to earn promotion to the 5th tier. We ended the season on 91 points, a club record. Unfortunately, it was not enough to win the league and earn automatic promotion (which it normally would have been). So, we entered the playoffs, which are just as nerve-wracking as they are exciting.
As I wrote recently, it was Squeaky Bum Time, which only ends one of two ways; with overwhelming joy or gutting pain. Unfortunately, for us, it was the latter. We lost the second leg of the semi-final at home 0-2 to our local rivals FC Halifax Town, who eventually went on to win promotion.
The following week was a chance for consolation. We had the County Cup final to play, where we once again played FC Halifax Town. On a dreary May night, after a lethargic 90 minutes plus extra-time, Halifax once again ousted us 1-0; leaving us with nothing to show for our record setting season.
While there wasn't much to remember on the night, it did provide a perfect bookend to my first year in English Football. The game was played at Valley Parade only days before my departure.
I had hoped to play that night, but unfortunately it was not to be the case. This was a culmination of all the disappointment from the previous weeks losses.
However, in hindsight, I think about the progress I have made since I have been here and I can't help but look at the positives. Nine months ago I visited Valley Parade as a fan and didn't know a soul. At the County Cup final, I returned as a player and have gotten to know some fabulous people.
The first chapter of any story rarely ends with an exciting climax. It's an introduction. It's where you meet some of the main characters, get a feel for the setting, learn the rules, and finally, it should give you enough interest to start Chapter Two.
As I head home – via my Mission trip to St. Lucia – for some summer relaxation with my family(who I miss terribly by the way), I am looking forward, God-willing, to Chapter Two. I know I will be returning wiser, stronger, and equally hopeful.
Thus end's Chapter One.
I may do a few special through the summer, so stay tuned!
Dedication: there are so many people I have to thank for getting me to this point, but I am dedicating this post to the Inglehearn family who took me in and gave me a home, while I got my feet on the ground.
Also, please spare any thoughts and prayers you can for my Great Uncle Francois Inglehearn who has just passed away.

Appointments/
myprosperity CEO to step down
The chief executive of myproperity Chris Ridd will depart the role next month, with the financial software firm to promote its current chief technology officer.
Appointments	Jotham Lian 16 October 2018

Mr Ridd, the former managing director of Xero, has announced that he will be stepping down as chief executive from 1 November.
myprosperity's chief technology officer, Stephen Jackel, will take over from Mr Ridd, who will be joining the firm's board alongside new non-executive director Marcus Fletcher.
Mr Ridd said the succession comes as he looks to take on a strategic role on the board over day-to-day operations.
"This change is part of a carefully planned leadership expansion across the business. Steve has demonstrated a rare combination of technical brilliance and sound people leadership skills and so I am delighted he is taking on the next step in his career," said Mr Ridd on a LinkedIn post.
"Over the past 2.5 years we've quadrupled revenues, grown our partner base from 180 to over 650, expanded the team from 12 to 42 and made significant advancements in product development. And although we're not even close to being done on any of those fronts, the framework is in place and my skills are now best suited on the board rather than in the business day-to-day.
"Outside of the myprosperity board appointment in 2019, I will continue to seek ways to contribute to the growth of the tech startup industry in Australia, something I have long been passionate about."

DuPont ramps up nylon capacity
DuPont Co.
DuPont makes its Zytel brand nylon 6 and 6/6 materials in Hamm, Germany.
Rising demand has prompted DuPont Co. to expand production of its Zytel nylon 6/6 and nylon 6 portfolio at its Uentrop factory in Hamm, Germany, by 20 percent.
Increased demand, primarily from the global automotive industry, was behind the move, as many customers looked to replace heavy, metallic parts with lighter, nylon-made products, DuPont said in a June 15 news release.
Richard Mayo, global business director for the nylon businesses in DuPont Performance Polymers, said: "Nylon continues to be the starting point for many product designers because it's versatile, easy to mould and offers exceptional long-term performance in the most challenging environments.
"In many ways, nylon defined the category of engineering polymers and continues to redefine where plastics can go in the future."
Zytel nylon is widely used in an array of end uses, including in electrical and electronic systems, where it goes to make enclosures, sockets, terminal blocks, circuit breakers, switches and relays.

Michelle Bachelet, President and Single Mom.
Guest Author - Tracey-Kay Caldwell
On June 8th, The White House Project and the Embassy of Chile will host a "women only" dinner in honor of the first woman president of Chile, Michelle Bachelet. The dinner is women only at President Bachelet's request, to note the importance of women in leadership roles. President Bachelet is a fifty-four year old single mother of a twelve-year-old daughter and 2 grown children. The former Minister of Health and Defense is a pediatrician and a socialist.
Her father, a general in the air force opposed the military government, was arrested and died in prison. Michelle Bachelet worked undercover for the Socialist Youth. She and her mother were imprisoned and tortured in 1975. They were held for weeks before being allowed to flee the country.
As a torture victim and pediatrician she has a unique perspective on government reform. "Because I am a doctor, I know when you have an injury it will heal itself if it is clean enough to heal. It your injury is dirty it wont heal. And so when you are talking in societies, we are also talking in a healing process, and for a good healing process you need to make things right."
President Bachelet says she will build basis in "society where tolerance, understanding of diversity, integration and not discrimination, will be the main policies." This, will not be easy in a conservative, Catholic dominated society. Only four percent of Chiles senators are women. Divorce was legalized only a year ago. While the growing economy in Chile is helping, she has a long way to go to bridge the gap between the rich and the poor. Will a woman's touch be able to heal the divides in Chilean society?
As for the personal life of Chile's first woman president, Michelle Bachelet said, " I am the mother of three. Right now I don't have a partner… I hope there will come a time for my children, for my family, and if a boyfriend, better, but otherwise I can live. President Michelle Bachelet's life shows us that while life is not always easy, if you persevere, you can reach the top. Young women today are fortunate enough to grow up in a world where they can see single mothers who are governing their countries.

WILLIAMSTOWN, MA – The Middlebury women defended their 2011 title at the 2012 Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference hosted by Williams on Saturday.
Fifty-one teams competed in Saturday's ECAC championship. White-capped mountains provided a backdrop to the races on a windy morning with temps in the low forties. Hurricane Sandy took down a few trees on the course, so crews were working hard all week to prepare the course, which was in ideal condition by Saturday.
Drew's Jennifer Van Wingerden took the individual victory finishing the hilly 6k course in 22:54. Middlebury's Lucy Whipps was just behind in 22:57. William Smith's Emily D'Addario took third (23:11), followed by Williams' Meg Richardson (23:16), who was the first freshman to cross the line. Gabriella Gaudreault from Springfield rounded out the top five (23:21).
The Panthers, led by Whipps, pulled away with a very low-scoring, 31 point, victory with four runners in the top ten and all their scorers in the top eleven. Tufts packed up well with all their scorers in the top 20 to earn second place (63). Host Williams was third (140).
WILLIAMSTOWN, MA – If hurricane Sandy cooperates Williams College will once again host the ECAC Division III Men's and Women's Cross Country Championships on the Ephs' home layouts at Mt. Greylock High School south of the Williams campus Saturday.
One of the most attractive features of the two layouts at Mt. Greylock is that both the men's and women's layouts are entirely situated on grass and dirt trails that are favored with wide trails and challenging hills.
"We love hosting this Championship, which features teams from colleges and universities from many states and from many hundreds of miles away, along the east coast from Maine to Virginia and inland to Pittsburgh and Erie," said Eph men's and women's head coach Peter Farwell. "Our course is true cross country with grass and trails, flat and hills, open and woodland. Plus it is highly scenic and affords the best of spectating."
Farwell's Eph men's team has won an unprecedented seven consecutive ECAC Championship races. On the women's side Middlebury is the defending champion. "Williams is excited to host this multi-regional Championship which always has exciting competition for the individual and team titles," Farwell noted.
This marks the seventh time the Ephs have hosted the ECAC Division III Championships, with the last six being held at Mt. Greylock HS. In 1995 the races were held on the famed Taconic Golf Club just south of Weston Field.
50 men's teams and 51 women's teams will be competing this weekend in Williamstown for the 2012 ECAC Championship. Each race will have over 300 runners.

Martin Butler: O Rio - Fixed Doubles
The BBC Symphony Orchestra has played a central role at the heart of British musical life since its inception in 1930, and as the flagship orchestra of the BBC provides the backbone of the BBC Proms with at least a dozen concerts each year, including the First and Last Nights. Strongly committed to twentieth-century and contemporary music, it has given the premiere of more than 1,000 works by composers such as Bartók, Britten, Hindemith, Holst, Stravinsky and Shostakovich, and more recently has premiered BBC commissions by Simon Bainbridge, Jonathan Dove, Michael Nyman and Sir John Tavener among others. Its annual season of concerts as Associate Orchestra of the Barbican includes a weekend each January focusing upon a single composer from the twentieth or twenty-first century, most recently James MacMillan, Elliott Carter and Sofia Gubaidulina.
Jiří Bĕlohlávek took up the post of Chief Conductor in July 2006 and David Robertson was appointed Principal Guest Conductor in 2005. The BBC SO works frequently with Conductor Laureate Sir Andrew Davis and Artist-in-Association John Adams. All concerts are broadcast on BBC Radio 3 and a number are televised, giving the BBC Symphony Orchestra the highest broadcast profile of any orchestra in the UK. The BBC SO is committed to innovative education work, with ongoing projects including the BBC SO Family Orchestra and Music Intro, introducing families to concert-going.
The BBC SO has appeared on 34 of NMC's CDs, including the best-selling recording of Elgar's Third Symphony.

There's a new group to know in Austin's fight against Covid-19
On July 29, 2020 By Earle HagerIn Austin Technology Incubator, Company Leadership, Technology Assessments, Technology Marketing, TEXGHS, University Technology CommercializationLeave a comment
The Neutrino Donut, LLC is a founding member of this group.
https://www.bizjournals.com/austin/news/2020/07/28/texas-global-health-security-innovation-consortium.html
By Mike Cronin – Staff Writer, Austin Business JournalJul 28, 2020, 2:36pm CDT Updated Jul 28, 2020, 2:46pm CDT
Several academic, public-sector and private-sector organizations in Austin and beyond have banded together to fight the current Covid-19 pandemic — and future pandemics.
The Texas Global Health Security Innovation Consortium boasts more than 50 initial members, including the Greater Austin Chamber of Commerce, Dell Medical School, Capital City Innovation, DivInc, the Harte Research Institute, Tech Ranch Austin and the Texas Advanced Computing Center. The Austin Technology Incubator, part of the the University of Texas at Austin, organized the consortium.
The consortium, called TEXGHS for short, seeks to cultivate global health security, which it defines as "a state of freedom from the scourge of infectious disease, irrespective of origin or source."
It "is compiling a database of companies, researchers, and individuals interested in developing their innovative approaches to achieving health security," according to its website, and aims to be a resource to develop new technologies and adapt existing technologies to fight pandemics.
More member organizations are wanted and TEXGHS is looking for "startup companies interested in receiving support to commercialize solutions at the interface of health security and technology," according to an announcement.
PandemicTech, an Austin-based organization that serves as a global incubator of ideas to fight infectious diseases, provided $20,000 in seed funding to ATI to start TEXGHS.
The consortium is headed up by Lisa McDonald, director of health care at ATI and a co-founder of PandemicTech.
The Neutrino Donut – Training Seminar – Austin Technology Incubator – SEAL Accelerator – SBIR / STTR & Other Non-Dilutive Funding
On July 6, 2020 By Earle HagerIn Austin Technology Incubator, Business Development, Company Leadership, Events, Global Technology Projects, SBIR, Technology Assessments, Technology Marketing, University Technology CommercializationLeave a comment
The Neutrino Donut will be conducting a training seminar on grant programs, fund raising, and planning for the Austin Technology Incubator SEAL program. This program will be delivered online on 9 July 2020.
SEAL's core value is vetting emerging university startups from the market's perspective, not the entrepreneur's nor university ecosystem's perspective. A by-product is to shift founders' mindsets to be market centric instead of technology or product centric.
To accomplish this, SEAL coalesces a group of hand-picked, experienced startup mentors to assist each startup in identifying the next potential Go / No-Go Decision. SEAL then builds a set of industry-specific mentors to work with each team over the course of two months to do the work to rigorously answer the analyses underlying the Go / No-Go Decision. Additionally, SEAL brings in experienced entrepreneurs and technical experts to talk about their real-world experience in confronting some of the most common
Go / No-Go Decisions. This is particularly useful as startups confront an on-going sequence of these types of decisions, so SEAL primes its participants to have a baseline of knowledge as many of these common decisions will emerge in each of their journeys.
Most startups participating in SEAL have already removed significant scientific or technical risk through lab prototypes, pilot deployments, and occasionally, early sales. Given that, most Go / No-Go Decisions center on "scalability" questions around the underlying technology, go-to-market, team, funding requirements, firm economics, and other core business model components.
In prior years, SEAL has also facilitated ecosystem engagement opportunities to jumpstart the process of university-based entrepreneurs building out their ecosystem network. For many student founders, this represents their first "in-the-wild" professional networking experience. Austin's startup ecosystem is overflowing with organizations, activities and people that support entrepreneurs and startups, so quickly learning how to navigate and engage with it is critical to the long term prospects for each
startup.

How the people on the bus were saved
Last updated on: July 28, 2005 12:37 IST
We asked readers about how they coped with the torrential rain in Mumbai and this is what the responses said, verbatim:
My sister reached home safely at 11 am today after 19 hours. there was no police, no navy but around 200 locals who saved their lives.
The story goes like this as told by my sister... people get stranded on buses, cars in kurla at around 4 pm, water reaches neck level in the single decker buses when locals rush to help them. they break some seats, get ropes so that people can hold it and float from the single decker bus to double decker bus in neck deep water. Passengers stay overnight in the bus, around 150 in the upper deck as the deck below is completely submerged in water. The locals keep a watch on them the whole night telling them not to get scared.
They wait for help patiently. Luckily the rain also subsides and the water level comes down to around 9 feet. There were around 200 locals in the morning at 6 am. They carry ropes and 5 litre empty plastic dabbas. They conduct the rescue operation in a very organized manner. The ropes are used to tie the buses and people hold them while getting down the bus.
One local helps one passenger cross the current and hands him over to another local who helps him swim using the empty plastic container as support and takes him to Kurla station. The women get scared at first but after persuasion by the volunteers they agree and they are also carried safely till Kurla station. The Kurla locals really took good care of all the passengers and saved the passengers on the bus.
My sister and the other passengers are alive today because of the locals. You are the real heroes. thank you so much.

Preventing 9/11: New court documents show alleged failures on Sept. 11 by United Airlines and a security firm, The New York Times reports. "This document demonstrates that 9/11 was completely preventable at the checkpoint for this flight, and that United did not live up to its responsibilities for security," said Donald A. Migliori, a lawyer for the family of Mark Bavis, a passenger of Flight 175, which crashed into the World Trade Center.
DSK Speaks: The Associated Press reports that Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the former International Monetary Fund chief, said Sunday his sexual liaison with a hotel maid "was a moral failing and I am not proud of it." Strauss-Kahn made the remarks in his first interview since U.S. authorities arrested him over allegations that he sexually assaulted the hotel worker.
Firm Fight: Kasowitz Benson Torres & Friedman is arguing that a suit filed by a former associate fired after eight months at the firm should be thrown out, The Am Law Daily reports. Gregory Berry claims the firm unjustly terminated him and lied about its working conditions and corporate culture.
Twitter Trademark: The Recorder reports on Twitter's legal battle to trademark "tweet." "It is in the best interests of our users and developers for the meaning of 'tweet' to be preserved to prevent any confusion, so we are taking action to protect its meaning," the company said in a statement.
"Southern Hospitality": A federal jury in Atlanta on Friday concluded that a tavern didn't discriminate against former NBA player Joe Barry Carroll and Atlanta attorney Joseph S. Shaw, black men who were asked to give up their seats to two white women, the Daily Report reports. The men, who refused to surrender their seats at the tavern and were ordered out, were told to let the women have their seats as part of the bar's "Southern hospitality" policy, in which men are asked to give their seats to women who enter the bar after them.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens welcomes 2016 with another out-of-this-world weekend
myTalk 107.1
Stars Wars: The Force Awakens has started 2016 as it ended 2015, with another huge haul at the U.S. box office.
The sci-fi blockbuster made a further $88.3 million over the New Year's Day weekend to ring in 2016 with a $740 million tally in North America.
Over the holidays, The Force Awakens passed the totals of Titanic, The Avengers, and Jurassic World to become the second biggest film ever released. It's now just $20 million behind Avatar, which hit $760.5 million in 2010.
The latest Star Wars film, which was released around the world on 18 December (15), also ended 2015 as the year's biggest movie in the U.K., toppling Spectre.
The movie has hauled in $141 million in the U.K. since its release.
Director J.J. Abrams' film has also overtaken Avatar as the second most successful film in history in the U.K. The new Star Wars film is less than $6.7 million behind James Bond film Skyfall, which remains the only film to pass $150 million in the U.K.
Meanwhile, back to the U.S. box office, and comedy Daddy's Home stays put at two for a second week, while Quentin Tarantino's The Hateful Eight debuts at three, and Sisters and Alvin & the Chipmunks: The Road Chip round out the first top five of 2016.
