Community watershed reserves Ecuador
Helping communities to protect the unique biodiversity of the cloud forests of northwestern Ecuador
Tropical montane cloud forest
Project established
Mining, agriculture, unsustainable land use
Key species
Jaguars, spectacled bears, mountain tapirs, mantled howler monkey, the critically endangered brown-headed spider monkey, plate-billed mountain toucan
41 community owned and managed reserves
Defending Intag cloud forests
Rainforest Concern has been working with DECOIN since 2000 on a number of conservation initiatives.
DECOIN was founded in January 1995 as a grass-roots environmental organization to protect the cloud forests of the Intag region of northwestern Ecuador. By enabling local communities to purchase forested land strictly for conservation, this area has a higher chance of long-term survival.
Community-led conservation and eco-tourism projects have helped to prevent a proposed copper mine from going ahead saving the area from destruction from toxic materials such as arsenic, lead, copper, chromium and cadmium.
Carlos Zorrilla
In the long run, without people understanding why we are conserving large swaths of forests, there is no way they will be conserved
Carlos Zorrilla, DECOIN
Carlos Zorrilla believes that community-governed conservation is the best way to protect biodiversity. Protection without education is bound to fail.

Community Watersheds
Rainforest Concern helped set up the community watershed and forest program which has now grown to conserve over 14,000 hectares of native forests. DECOIN has set up a total of 37 community watershed reserves, providing thousands of Intag residents clean water for the first time in their lives.
The watershed reserves project also entails teaching communities how to monitor water quality and biological diversity with water testing equipment distributed to participating communities. This includes training on how to take, analyse and interpret water samples, and how to manage their reserve.
Rediscovery of extinct frog species
Listed as 'extinct' on the IUCN Red List, the longnose stubfoot toad (Atelopus Longirostris) was found in DECOIN's Junin reserve in 2016 after 27 years of assumed disappearance.
The longnose stubfoot toad
The longnose harlequin frog was thought to have disappeared due to habitat loss and climate change. A major threat now to this species is an open-pit copper mining project in the Intag region.
Sustainable shade grown coffee project
DECOIN created the shade-grown sustainable coffee project, the Association of Small Coffee Growers "Rio Intag" (AACRI as it is known in Spanish).
Mining threats
SInce 1995, DECOIN has been influential in protecting the Intag region from large-scale copper mining projects. However, the threat continues as a large copper mining concession has been granted.
Sorting through the dried coffee beans
The association is now completely independent of DECOIN. Currently there are over 400 members belonging to the association, and it incorporates strong environmental objectives in its bylaws, which we took part in creating. The coffee is shade grown, organic, and is being sold in the fair trade market in Japan, and nationally.
UN Award Winners
In 2017, on behalf of DECOIN, Carlos Zorrilla received the United Nations' Equator Initiative Award for their work to promote conservation measures and alternative livelihoods, find viable alternative to mining, and protect the Intag area's Andean biodiversity
Ecological importance
According to the CEPF, the Tropical Andes has the largest variety of amphibian, bird and mammal species. The Intag-Toisán area, where DECOIN operates, is recognised as a Key Biodiversity Area within the Tropical Andes. Endemic species found in or near the reserve include the newly discovered olinguito, cock of the rock (see left), the recently rediscovered toad 'longnose stubfoot', and the rare black and chestnut eagle.
Ecuador's biodiversity
Due to its equatorial location and changes in altitude, Ecuador is one of the world's 17 mega diverse countries. With over 1,500 species of birds it ranks fourth in avian diversity amongst all countries in the world. Unfortunately, it has 2,301 species threatened by extinction

Stay Focused While Working from Home
By Meghan Ely on September 7, 2020 September 7, 2020

 Pinterest
By now, most of us have settled into a comfortable work-from-home routine due to the pandemic. Yet, even if you've been working remote for six months or more, it can still be a challenge to stay focused — especially when you have spouses sharing your workspace and kiddos home for virtual learning. The balance between work and home life has been particularly difficult in the wake of nationwide stay-at-home orders, so you're not alone if you feel like you've been carrying too much weight on your shoulders.
While there isn't much we can do about returning to work outside the home, there are plenty of tips and tricks that can help you set boundaries at home and find more focus and flow during your working hours (even if it's at the kitchen table).
We spoke with event professionals across the industry to see how they're holding up at home and they graciously shared these strategies for concentrating on work and maintaining as much of a work-life balance as possible when working from home.
Start the night before
Shannan Tarrant of WeddingVenueMap.com urges: "The most important thing is to finish every day with a clear plan of what has to be accomplished tomorrow. While the to-do list is never-ending, I prioritize the top 3 things I have to accomplish that day and make sure to time block those into my day. With family, we talk about my schedule the following day as to when I can take breaks to chat and check-in and when I need to stay focused."
Carve out a space at home
"Set up a dedicated work space — a place that is reserved for work and only work," encourages Nora Sheils of Rock Paper Coin and Bridal Bliss. "Make it attractive and positive…not a dark corner of the house. Also, schedule regular breaks! Rather than stopping for snacks every fifteen minutes, you have set times to stretch, work on the towering laundry, or grab something to eat."
Keep your to-do list updated
"Keep a notepad with your to-do list with a daily list of things to do if you aren't busy," says Jennifer Borgh of Borghinvilla Wedding Venue. "You can't get bored if you have a pending list of things to do on those downtimes. Slow days can be used to schedule social media posts in advance, follow up on inquiries, or organize files."
Set the right mood
"The best thing I've found that works to manage distractions is putting on a playlist of music that helps your brain focus," explains Kristin Wilson of Our DJ Rocks. "There is a part of your brain called the locus coeruleus that handles decision-making. It's impacted by sound, so listening to the right kind of music can increase focus and productivity."
Wilson continues: "Music can also cause a release in dopamine in your brain, which has been scientifically linked to making you feel good and easing stress and anxiety. The type of music you choose is key as well – mainly something without lyrics so you don't get distracted by singing along or Googling song lyrics all day. Try classical, spa, or nature sounds. If you aren't into that, look at electronic music, lo-fi hip-hop beats, or ambient EDM."
Automate as much as possible
"When you have automated systems in place, it takes a whole load of work off your plate," explains Jen Taylor of Jen Taylor Consulting. "There are countless options available, so do some research and don't be afraid to sign up for a free trial or two to take them on a test run. Instead of worrying about email follow-ups and invoicing, you can dedicate your focus on more important things like prospecting, creative work, or taking an extra-long lunch break to take the little ones out for a stroll."
Block your schedule
"What has worked best for me, as a mom of 3 children who owns multiple businesses, is blocking my time," shares Simone Vega of Coordinated to Perfection. "The best way to explain time blocking is to think about your years as a student in high school. You had a math period where you concentrated only on math, an English period where you only focused on English, and so on. Blocking my time has allowed me to focus on one specific task or project and actually complete it. It may take several days or even a week to complete it, but at least I can feel like I accomplished and hit a major goal or milestone."
Be firm but flexible with your team
Tommy Waters of The Renaissance says: "Stress the importance of working from home and still being available and productive to your team. To some employees, working from home is like a day off. It can be very tempting to let your focus stray while working from home, but adhering to a structured format will help everyone stay honest. Avoid micromanaging unless you have to. If everyone is pulling their weight and getting all the tasks accomplished, building in a little 'playing hooky' time may not be a bad thing."
Ultimately, everyone has had to make concessions due to extended work-from-home situations. Whether you're creating art from your living room or locking your office door to make a call without interruptions, it might mean simply doing enough to get by while we navigate this challenging period. Try not to hold yourself to pre-pandemic expectations and, when in doubt, lean on your resourcefulness — after all, we are an industry built upon creatives who know how to solve problems.

100 science fiction women #28: Margarita Nikolaevna
Ok, so I have been inattentive. but here I am now. And my list for the day is again from city of tongues (thanks James) and is 100 Top Science Fiction/Fantasy books. While there are a number of my very favourite books on the list, like The Dispossessed by Ursula Le Guin and The Diamond Age by Neal Stephenson, I think that the list is more a reflection of the writer's 100 favourite books, leaving out as it does a number of significant authors and featuring so many books by the same author. But who said lists need to be objective? And it does provide further food for rumination. Tonight's edition of this list involves a book I had been meaning to read for years, and have just finished, and so to….
Margarita Nikolaevna The Master and Margarita Mikhail Bulgakov
You know you are reading Russian literature when the eponymous Margarita doesn't appear until the second half of the book (and the Master appears hardly at all). But discussion of the nature of literature aside, Margarita represents an interesting character in this book, as one of the few characters the Devil on his visit to Moscow does not treat extremely badly. Margarita is unhappy, separated from her love and lover, the Master, living in a marriage which, will financially beneficial and to, it would seem, a pleasant enough (but non-appearing) character, does not involve love. She is driven by love for the Master and her desire to be reunited with him, but even though this overrides her actions, she is willing to use the opportunity to ask for anything to beg the Devil to end the eternal torment of a dead ghost who is haunted by the child she killed. Margarita understands the desperation which drove this young woman to her crime, and asks the right question – what of the man who made her pregnant and left her abandoned – is he made to suffer as she does. Willing to embrace adventure if it leads her from her unfulfilling life and towards the Master, she rides a broom naked and invisible through the streets of Moscow. Full of passion she destroys the house of the critic who broke the will of the Master, overcome by rage and yet her compassion stills her hand when she sees the fear she creates in a young boy. She is unafraid of the strangeness and possible danger of her role as the hostess for the Devil, and will take on the pain and discomfort involved to meet the Master again.
Margarita's breath was taken away, and she was about to utter the cherished words prepared in her soul, when she suddenly turned pale, opened her mouth and stared: "Freida!…Freida, Frieda!" someone's importunate, imploring voice cried in her ears, "my name is Frieda."

100 Sci Fi women #8: Nell
There is another list I have been pointed to kindly by Matthew about science fiction by women and people of colour, which has added a whole bunch of new books to the "to read" list. Check it out for yourself here. Its focus is authors rather than characters, so my character list continues below.
Nell The Diamond Age Neal Stephenson
Nell is a little girl who starts her life with poverty and abuse, unprotected save for the love of her big brother Harv who wants something better for her and her trusty companions Dinosaur, Duck, Peter and Purple. Her entire life changes when Harv brings her home a copy of a book, which is in fact a massively powerful learning computer, which educates her and leads her into another life (the moment she meets the book can be found here). Nell learns to think and fight and lead others through her interaction with the book, and her natural compassion is nurtured. But the Primer would not have helped Nell without her innate curiousity, intelligence and willingness to learn, as we see when she is compared to the others who use the Primer. Nell is special, and her story is one of growing up and learning and the value and importance of education. But most importantly, Nell ends as she begins, a brave girl and then woman, who takes on and accepts the challenges of life.
...though Princess Nell had become so beautiful over the years and had developed such a fine bearing that few people would mistake her for a commoner now, even is she were dressed in rags and walking barefoot.
Lying in her bunkbed in Madame Ping's dormitory, reading these words from a softly glowing page in the middle of the night, Nell wondered softly at that. Princesses were not genetically different from commoners.

Chris Evans Says Goodbye to Captain America
Jessica Silva
Actor Chris Evans took to Twitter early October 4, to announce that he's wrapped up filming for Avengers 4. The tweet was more of a farewell to his character and his time with Marvel. Overall, it sounds like Evans is preparing fans for the unshakable future of Steve Rogers.
Some Valencia students were disconcerted about the news:
"It's sad, I feel like he was the best person to fit that character. It's been a long time now, but it's still sad," says Diego Rivera, 19-year-old biomedical sciences major.
"I think they started Captain America in a really good place," says John Rawls, 22-year-old health science major. "I really like Chris Evans as that character but I'm just curious about how he'll pass on the shield, in the comics someone else takes it up. It's bittersweet, I understand all good things must come to an end. Wherever they go next, I just hope they don't ruin it."
Other students, however, were happy to hear about a possible end to Captain America:
"After Hurricane Maria, I didn't think another Avengers would be possible," says Carlos Colberg, 20-year-old biomedical sciences major. "In all seriousness though, I think the third movie wrapped it up pretty well. Actually, I would like for the producers to move on already."
Minerva Melendez, Financial Aid Specialist says, "Just because Chris Evans says goodbye to the character doesn't mean the character dies, I mean maybe the character did die but I think it's more so kind of like Hugh Jackman. After 10 years of playing Wolverine you kind of want to finish with the character."
Film students Joshua Chinlund and Sultan Khan had a slightly different view on the matter:
"I admire [the tweet]," says Chinlund, 19. "I'm happy he did it because at the very least that means maybe there will be more fresh stuff coming out, I like the direction that Marvel is going in now, like weirder and more fun." Khan, 25, agrees saying "I'm ready, I think it's time."

Lockheed Martin: Generation Beyond
Washington, DC, April 15, 2016 – Lockheed Martin has launched Generation Beyond, a first of its kind, national educational program to bring the science of space into thousands of homes and classrooms across America. The Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) program is designed to inspire the next generation of innovators, explorers, inventors and pioneers to pursue STEM careers.
"Our children — the elementary, middle and high school students of today — make up a generation that will change our universe forever. This is the generation that will walk on Mars, explore deep space and unlock mysteries that we can't yet imagine," said Marillyn Hewson, Lockheed Martin Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. "They won't get there alone. It is our job to prepare, inspire and equip them to build the future – and that's exactly what Generation Beyond is designed to do."
Hewson announced Generation Beyond at the opening ceremony of the Lockheed Martin-sponsored USA Science & Engineering Festival, the largest—and only—national STEM event.
Generation Beyond
The new STEM education program will offer several interactive tools to engage and inspire students and educators:
Online Curriculum: The core element is an online curriculum for middle school teachers and students, including lesson plans for teachers, a virtual field trip and activities students can bring home to share with their families. The deep space curriculum will be shared freely with thousands of middle schools across the country, reaching hundreds of thousands of American students.
Lockheed Martin Mars Experience Bus: In addition to the curriculum, Generation Beyond includes a real-life Mars Experience Bus that will travel the country providing student riders with an interactive experience simulating a drive along the red planet's surface. The Lockheed Martin Mars Experience Bus is the first immersive virtual reality vehicle ever built and replicates 200 square miles of the Martian surface. The Mars Experience was built with the same software used in today's most advanced video games.
Hello Mars App: Lastly, Lockheed Martin has launched a Hello Mars smartphone app, allowing students to find Mars in the sky, travel there virtually and receive real-time Mars weather reports.
Visit the www.lockheedmartin.com/generationbeyond for online tools and fun.
Lockheed Martin has long played a leadership role in both space exploration and STEM education. Partnering with NASA, Lockheed Martin has been involved in every single U.S. Space Mission, including each journey to Mars. And over the past five years, Lockheed Martin has contributed almost $70 million to STEM programs, and maintained strong partnerships with National 4-H Council, Girls Inc., National Geographic, Project Lead the Way, National Science Teachers Association, Girls Who Code and FIRST Robotics.
"Generation Beyond is a perfect example of Lockheed Martin's ingenuity in using cutting-edge technology and high quality curricula to encourage young people to explore STEM fields in a hands-on way that will stay with them for a lifetime," Jennifer Sirangelo, president and CEO of National 4-H Council. "4-H and Lockheed Martin are dedicated to creating interactive, experiential programs that ignite passion for STEM topics in young people, then help guide them down a pathway for a fulfilling STEM career. What better way to engage young students than getting them excited about exploring space?"

Gwynnagain: "I am a cheerleader for anyone who wants to be an engineer"
"I am a cheerleader for anyone who wants to be an engineer. I think everybody should be an engineer or at least get an engineering background – even if you don't work professionally as an engineer, I think it provides such an extraordinary problem solving ability. So I cheerlead for anyone. We continue to give to the Frank J. Redd Student scholarship competition – I don't manage that anymore – I speak at high schools, grade schools, and universities, to encourage people who would never consider being engineers to become engineers. I think it is just something that will create a much better world if more people focus on being engineers – or physicists."

"I don't think it's a coincidence that we dropped five points in the last 15-year-olds' math and science test."
"I want to see my children go to Mars. And I'd love to see my grandchildren go to other galaxies," said Shotwell, who admitted that she became an engineer because she saw one speak and liked her suit and shoes. "I actually feared telling this story for years, but I'm 50 now, so I can do whatever I want."

I often get them confused. I think my brain just sees "Perfect Diet." But once I'm there, it's easy to tell the difference.
Stanger advocates a plant-based diet that excludes animal foods. It concentrates on whole foods including grains, potatoes, legumes, vegetables, and fruits. She recommends avoiding animal foods which can "reduce your level of IGF-1, a cancer-promoting hormone," and lessen exposure to hazardous environments chemicals, claiming "animal foods are the source of 89%-99% of the persistent organic pollutants in your body."
Jaminet regards cereal grains such as wheat, barley, oats, and corn, or foods made from them such as bread, pasta, breakfast cereals, and oatmeal as "toxic." Legumes and beans should be avoided, soy and peanuts "absolutely excluded." His diet recommends up to a pound a day of "meat, fish, and eggs" with organ meats such as liver and kidney "exceptionally nourishing." He also recommends "safe starches" such as root vegetables and tubers.
Interesting that two well-educated and well-meaning students of nutrition can arrive at so dissimilar "perfect" diets. It makes me wonder if a perfect diet really exists. What do you think, is there a "perfect" diet?
I just feel fortunate that I have the luxury of pondering "what should I eat?"
And to take a stab at your question: I would guess for each person there is an ideal, though, not a perfect diet. I would also guess the variance between individuals would, normally, be relatively small (although I wonder how people groups may differ).
The question behind your question is "how do we determine the ideal diet?" Frankly, I don't know. But I'll keep thinking about it with you.
The luxury .... Ohhh boy, so true.
I had a nutrition professor, smart and enthusiastic guy (and a hard marker). He used to say one thing he loved about the field of nutrition was its ever-changing state, that every day almost there would be some new data to have to fit into what was known. He said people in this field were like detectives, the best ones were the curious ones.
It's funny how you hold onto things people have said over the years. This prof was also the one who introduced me to the line, "Genetics loads the gun, environment fires it."
There is no perfect diet. But some diets come closer to perfect than others. I don't think Dr. Jaminet animal product-centric diet even comes close to perfect. I think the diet that comes closes to perfect is the Michael Pollan diet: "Eat food, not too much, mostly plants."
I don't think either there is anything like perfect diet. Even ideal diet is elusive definition. Ideal from whose perspective? Shall we focus on what we think is evidence based at population level, or shall we focus on special requirements of an individual, say IBS for example, or shall we focus on food safety and sustainability (etc)? Sometimes, what is considered very healthy at population level is not ideal for an individual. As a dietitian I stumble upon these contradictions quite often.
I like the Perfect Health Diet book, but I don't recommend it. I think there is no evidence or reason to reject beans and legumes (except for peanuts; beans are a great source of folate and other minerals and vitamins); I think whole grains and milk products can be incorporated in a good diet (if the person doesn't have allergic reactions to it). I don't like some supplements recommended in the book (chromium, vitamin D - I favour sunlight as the source of vit D etc). But some recommendations are good, in general. I'd say I agree with 70% of the book.
RB, the diet proposed by Jaminet is a plant-based diet by volume, so it's a diet like "eat food, not too much, mostly plants".
Ezer, I think a pound a day of meat is excessive and violates the "mostly plants" part of the diet and root vegetables and tubers by volume probably don't represent the majority of calories. I think about 1/4 pound should be the upper limit on meat. The Jaminet diet also seems rather boring since it excludes most vegetables, and beans. Are nuts and fruits allowed? It seems most food from plants are excluded.
Why should peanuts be avoided?
They don't exclude most vegetables, quite the contrary. In the link above, they say "peas and green beans are fine. Soy and peanuts should be absolutely excluded. Beans might be acceptable with suitable preparation, but we recommend avoiding them." I disagree with the "avoiding them" part.
They suggest 0.5 - 1 pound of animal food per day (meat, eggs etc). Why do you think it's excessive?
Peanuts might be contaminated with aflatoxins produced by mold. They are pro-allergenic too. But I think some high-quality peanut, roasted and tested by mold, if you don't have allergy, is fine.
Ezer, I just seems to many reports where saturated fat from meat and meat protein are associated with increased heart disease and cancer. So over consumption of meat is bad. Most recommendations I have seen is no more than 4 ounces meat per day. Also, as one eats more meat one typically reduces the amount of vegetables. Vegetables are a good source of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. I also tend to agree with Dr. Campbell as per this WSJ article http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10000872396390444184704577587174077811182.html Bix pointed to on her twitter post.
It's a lofty sounding idea, but it's based on a flawed premise: That there is a "right" diet for everyone. In my practice, I see all kinds of people - some do great on a low-carb diet; others on a high-carb diet.
I have one patient who has a borderline alkalosis - very low respiration rate, high breath hold, low pulse, low BP. When he eats low carb, he metabolically produces even less CO2 and goes into metabolic shutdown and has a major sleep apnea crisis each night as his breathing shuts down. SO, i put him on a high carb, low fat diet and give him extra thiamin and some other tricks to get his CO2 up and his physiology shifts and he feels better and has no apnea.
Other patients get fat looking at carbs or go into hypoglycemic downward spirals when they dance with sugars and starches: for them, they do better on low carb, so-called paleo fare.
I know top athletes who thrive on a very low fat, high carb diet and they have great lab numbers to boot. Others, again, have great numbers and feel great eating tons of eggs and bacon.
The bottom line is: we all have unique metabolic and constitutional tendencies. This is just a given in the traditional medicines of China and India, where anyone promoting the "One Perfect Diet" would be looked at as an idiot.
The biggest problems with 'fad' diets is that they are all written by so-called experts who promote usually what works for them, as if it will work for everyone. Your "perfect" diet depends on your genetic ancestry, your current state of health, activity, and lifestyle; the season and environment in which you reside, and so on. You can't generalize about that.
The problem with so-called scientific approaches to diet is that they are based on massive generalizations and averages over large populations of people. These people have different genetic backgrounds, different upbringings, different lifestyles, different diets, and very different health statuses that they bring to the table.
I find most of these studies meaningless, clinically. Likewise how a rodent study on purified fructose consumption can be extrapolated to apply to a human drinking a glass or orange juice or two a day, also boggles my mind. The bottom line is: they can't.
What's a lot more interesting to me is understanding how macronutrients, vitamins, and electrolytes effect things like cellular respiration, metabolism, and the autonomic nervous system. When we understand the state of a person's oxidative capacity, autonomic system, etc AND we know how to alter those tendencies via diet and nutrients, that's where the gold is."
Bix, I agree with Sean. There is not a perfect diet the is right for everyone. A diet has to vary by health, age, lifestyle, fitness needs, nutritional needs, diseases (e.g. diabetes), food allergies, and available foods so one can meet his/her weight, health and fitness goals. Another factor is choosing foods one can stick with for life. Fad diets of a diet that excludes certain foods (e.g. dairy so you can't have cheese) may be a setup failure.
With that said, there are categories of foods that can be used in a healthy diet including beans and lentils, whole grains, fruits, vegetable, nuts, lean meats and diary. The biggest thing is getting rid of the junk food and highly process foods from one's diet.

When I first started reading romance again, Celeste Bradley was one of the first authors who I bought. I bought the first book in the Royal Four series (To Wed a Scandalous Spy) and then got all the books in The Liar's Club series and enjoyed them all (The Pretender was my favourite) and then I got the second book in The Royal Four series, and suddenly found that I didn't really like it anywhere as near as the rest. It was therefore with some trepidation that I bought One Night With A Spy not too long go. I am pleased to say that even though it was nowhere near as good as some of her earlier books, it was nowhere near as disappointing as Surrender to a Wicked Spy...somewhere in the middle!
Marcus, Lord Dryden is determined to become the next Fox, one of the members of the all powerful Royal Four, men who had their fingers on the pulse of just about every thing going on in England. It shouldn't be too difficult, after all he had done his apprenticeship - it was his for the taking. Or was it? Julia Barrowby had, in all but name, been acting as The Fox for the last three years. Her late husband, a much older man, had been officially The Fox, but he had chosen his own apprentice well and as he became more and more incapacitated Julia had taken over. Julia had links to the people who travelled in the fairs around the country, providing her with a large spy network of loyal people to let her know what was going on and where.
Since her husband's death, Julia has been inundated with young men who wish to gain her favour, and her estate, and it is to this group of men Marcus attaches himself in his current guise as Marcus Blythe-Goodman. Soon Marcus is only one of two serious contenders for Julia's affection. When a series of things starts going wrong (privies blowing up, wells being contaminated) Marcus and his main rival stay around to assist Julia and to try to protect her. It turns out that Julia has a pet lion and all of her servants are actually former members of the travelling troupe (acrobats etc). Marcus, however, has an advantage over his rival - he has read Julia's secret diaries which details her privatest fantasies, and Marcus was determined to be her fantasy man.
The problem for Julia is that no matter how well she performs her role, she does not meet all the criteria - for she comes from a humble background, being Jilly the horseback rider before she became the wife of Aldus Barrowby. Being betrayed by Marcus is almost enough to destroy his spirit, but not quite! Given all the lies that have been between them, what hope is there that they can be together.
Julia was a good character - intelligent, beautiful and yet more innocent than she appeared, and Marcus was great fun. I guess there wasn't a lot of honesty between them but the fact was that they were rivals for the same position, and Marcus was actively trying to find information to discredit Julia, so that lack of honesty was probably understandable.
Sometimes Celeste Bradley seems to try a bit too hard to be funny, and there were glimpses of that here again, but for the most part the author manages to control herself during this outing, in a way that the last book could really have benefitted from!
Overall, this was entertaining. I will get the next book so that I can have the complete set, however, if it isn't good then there is a fair chance that I won't be buying the next series that Bradley writes.

(CNN) The US Office of Government Ethics has clarified that contributions to legal defense funds from anonymous donors, as well as those from lobbyists and foreign governments, are unacceptable, according to a document outlining the office's guidance obtained by CNN.
The White House had asked for advice on the use of legal defense funds, which could assist West Wing staffers who hire attorneys and sit for legal questioning -- for example, as part of investigations like Special Counsel Robert Mueller's Russia probe, as CNN reported last week.
OGE sent the document, which outlines the office's ethical recommendations on the funds, to the White House Counsel's office and also provided verbal guidance, according to a source familiar with the discussions.
Controversy over the acceptability of anonymous donations to legal defense funds arose earlier this week, when Politico reported that OGE changed a disclaimer at the top one of the agency's legal advisories. The original advisory, issued in 1993, did not require legal defense fund donors to disclose their identities.
But before leaving office, former OGE Director Walter Shaub said he added a warning to the advisory in late April or early May of 2017 that stipulated some of its language was inconsistent with OGE's current interpretation. However, on Saturday he tweeted that his warning had been removed.
"After I left, OGE appears to have quietly changed that note and thrown out two decades of practice without publicizing the change," Shaub said in a statement.
But acting OGE director David Apol disputes any suggestion that the office changed its guidance on legal defense funds.
"The policy on anonymous contributions has not changed, it is the same as when former Director Shaub left the agency," Apol said.
When asked why OGE removed Shaub's changes, Apol said Shaub's warning on the opinion regarding anonymous donors did not indicate what part of the opinion was invalid.
The note was adjusted to clarify that the much of the advisory remains valid and to encourage people to seek OGE's guidance before establishing legal defense funds, Apol said. OGE continues to recommend that funds prohibit anonymous contributions.
Apol's statement came after Politico's report Wednesday saying that OGE had quietly reversed its policy prohibiting anonymous donations to the funds from lobbyists.
Although OGE does not have enforcement authority over violations committed by legal defense funds, the office guides White House attorneys and others to help ensure the funds follow ethics laws.
A White House aide said that the White House is not helping to set up any legal defense funds and it is also not seeking to negotiate any change that allows anonymous donations.
The aide said the administration is interested in identifying ways to disclose donors and to ensure no prohibited sources contribute funds that benefit White House employees.
White House officials who have already obtained private attorneys include President Donald Trump, Vice President Mike Pence, Counsel Don McGahn, senior adviser Jared Kushner and recently appointed Communications Director Hope Hicks.

We will explore how to behave when you have been invited to become a board member of a non-profit organization.
This 2-day, highly collaborative and interactive workshop with a small group of participants will help you explore how to develop a strong relationship between the executive and board chair. The success of this relationship sets the tone and culture for a high performance board that inspires and empowers the executive and staff. Working with other executives and board chairs, you will work through case studies and scenarios that will help you learn practical methods for managing board dynamics.
This is a program designed for the two-person team. The CEO/ED should register with your current board chair or with a board member who will be assuming the board chair or presidency in the future.
Over the two day workshop you will be able to forge a powerful, effective, and accountable relationship between the executive and the board chair. You will learn to evaluate your leadership and communication styles and establish mechanisms for communication between the executive and chair. The workshop with also help you distinguish board and management roles, determine who is responsible for vision and strategy, prepare efficiently for meetings, and plan an annual board agenda.
Recommended practices will include effective group techniques and ways to create an environment for open dialogue and learning. These approaches can engage the board's creativity and capacity for innovation.
Robert J. Ballantyne, Sherry S. Jennings, MSc, and Wallace Wilkins, PhD lead this program. Robert and Sherry are governance and management professionals with extensive experience as nonprofit executives and board leaders. Wallace Wilkins serves as leadership coach, conflict mediator and organizational advisor. Wally speaks and writes about powerful strategies for individuals and organizations to create low-stress, low-conflict, high achievement relationships.
As someone who uses teleconferencing several times each week, talking to other people with audio and video is not new to me. These days most of us, certainly including Sherry and myself, are using Fuze.com. We've also experimented with video narrowcasts using Google Hangouts, Ustream, Youtube live streaming, Skype (with recording software), and others. While these work, they are sufficiently complicated that they present major barriers to both to technical production, and to easy participant involvement. There is a new player this season called Blab. It works very well for anyone with a Twitter account + a webcam + microphone. Here I am joined by my friend and video producer, Deepak Sahasrabudhe of somatv.ca in an experiment to see how easy this can be to use.

Q: Electron Angular playing static audio files I try to develop a native app using electron and angular2.
Its purpose is to conduct Psychology experiments connected with sound perception.
In order to do this, I want to play sounds that will be stored in some assets directory in my app directories. But I find difficulties with accessing those audio files from angular in order to play it. And the internet seems to be pretty unhelpful after half day of searching I did not find and supporting articles.
What is the best way to do it?
Should I add to my app some server application, with angular proxying api requests to it? That solution will most likely work accordingly to what I found.
But is there any simple solution? Like some Electron library that allows offline access from Angular level to file system and files that are in app directory?
Thanks in advance
Tomasz

A: You could try using howler.js
You can install it to your project with npm install --save howler and play a sound with
var sound = new Howl({
  src: ['sound.mp3']
});

sound.play();

You would also probably want to install @types/howler via npm to work with typescript

Medical cannabis a mixed bag for older adults, new study finds – Clinical Daily News
Last updated September 3, 2020 by C.E. News on September 3, 2020
https://cannabisexaminers.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/GettyImages-1177279766-e1578366562729.jpg
Clinicians should be on the lookout for a potential mix of positive and negative clinical effects of medical cannabis in older patients, the authors of a new study caution.
Investigators collected anonymous surveys from 139 persons over the age of 60 who reported using medical cannabis in Illinois and Colorado over the past year. Participants who used cannabis more frequently reported higher values on health-related quality of life, healthcare utilization and pain. No significant associations were observed between the frequency of use and adverse events.
Although medical cannabis use appears to improve a range of self-reported outcomes, patients may under-report negative effects, the authors concluded. Positive and negative outcomes can occur simultaneously or separately in older adults, and clinicians should remember to directly assess potential risks and harms, they said.
Cannabis use increases in elders
Cannabis use has increased among people aged 55 years and older, according to a survey analysis published Tuesday in the Annals of Internal Medicine. Self-reported use rose equally in states that have legalized medical marijuana use and those that haven't between 2016 and 2018. Men are nearly twice as likely as women to report using the drug, the researchers reported.
"Given these trends, we advise healthcare providers, including acute and chronic care providers, to be attentive to the potential for cannabis use in older adults," Bill M. Jesdale, Ph.D., from the University of Massachusetts, and colleagues advised.

New Music: Rotimi feat. Ty Dolla $ign & Trey Songz – 'Kitchen Table (Remix)'
Rotimi serves up another hot one with the remix to "Kitchen Table" featuring Trey Songz and Ty Dolla $ign.
The trio cooks up for the melodic track about a raunchy feast with seductive lyrics that hold nothing back. "You keep lookin' at me like that and you gone make me turn this bed into a kitchen table," the guys sing to their respective partners. "Lay it down, legs spread on the kitchen table."
It's a holiday gift for listeners, but Rotimi made it clear that "#ThisAintNoChristmasCarol." Plus, it's a perfect trio for R&B lovers and for the "Power" co-star, who beamed about his collaborators.
"Trey is my big brother and mentor to me and Ty has become a really good friend," Rotimi told Complex. "No two artists could've helped me paint a more perfect picture of what goes down on the kitchen table."
The original version appears on the R&B crooner's Jeep Music, Vol. 1 EP, which dropped in August featuring 50 Cent and T.I. Listen to the sizzling remix below.


This chat will help us define visual literacy within our contexts and look at the ways critical librarianship can address the unique way visual information can impact and influence critical perspectives on the culture we live in. From signage in the library to image use and creation in academia visual information wields significant power in our spaces. We'll discuss how we teach ourselves how to identify critical issues in visual culture, how we raise awareness of these issues, and how we teach visual literacy alongside information literacy.

Yesterday and today I have been working on getting the hairpin square scarf/stole finished. I like wide scarfs to wear as stoles better than shawls. Just enough to keep my shoulders warm and not too much to get in the way. Finally I am down to the last of 5 skeins, so hopefully it can be blocked by the end of the week. I went to try and get a good picture of the last skein of yarn. I took photos of the last 2 skeins together, but the color was all wrong. So I thought I would play with the camera setting on the last skein. I put it on manual color and increased the saturation, sharpness, and contrast. I thought it looked better in viewer on back of the camera. I have a little Canon PowerShot SX110 IS. I would like a dSLR someday, but when I went looking into purchasing one I realized how much I didn't know. I need to be more comfortable with settings on this little camera before investing in one that has all the bells and whistles. Well anyway, what I learned was that no matter how bad the photo looks in auto setting, Photoshop elements does a really good job of correcting the color. I just click on Auto Levels under Enhance. Here are my experiment photos.
First photo just taken with the auto setting and incandescent light. See how red it is.
Corrected in PhotoShop Elemants, much better, but looks lighter than in reality.
Taken with manual color settings, better, but too dark and missing the yellow greens.
Corrected in PhotoShop Elements and closer to the real color. There are bits of the yellow green though not much.
Even though the second photo above, the PhotoShop Elements corrected auto setting photo, is too light because there is so much light reflecting off the mohair fibers, I think it is the best looking one. I still have to play with the camera settings to bring out the blues and yellows more. Also I might need a better light source, though the bulbs say they are the true color kind.

news 2020 Elections
New Hampshire Dems Join Iowans In Inviting Beto To Visit And Meet Voters
Loren Elliott/Getty Images North America
By Kate Riga
The New Hampshire Young Democrats are clamoring for Rep. Beto O'Rourke (D-TX) to travel to the Granite State to take a tour and meet voters — just two weeks after the Des Moines Democrats also extended the invitation.
This second invite from a crucial state for presidential contenders has not yet been answered by the young rising star, according to a Thursday CNBC report.
Top Democratic donors and operatives, many of whom have put their 2020 plans on hold while O'Rourke decides whether or not to challenge President Donald Trump, have reportedly been probing the Texan's associates to suss out which way he's leaning.
Some have speculated that if O'Rourke decides to sit out the presidential race, he could instead challenge Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) when his seat is up in 2020.

July 9, 1764: write what you know
by iampunha | 7/09/2008 08:00:00 AM
She didn't invent the genre, but Lord did she ever capture the imaginations of its readers.
At 30 years old, she had written one of the great Gothic novels.
Really, what can you do after that? Write a second of the great Gothic novels? Try to write the worst popular Gothic novel?
These days, a popular writer would travel the circuit, appearing on talk shows, doing book readings and (my ultimate goal) giving press to bookstores and booksellers with character. I'd go to the kind of places (and visit the kind of people) that don't push you to buy but push you to learn.
Today's honoree didn't do that (in part because there was no 18th century Oprah). In fact, other than write masterful Gothic novels, today's honoree mostly stayed home. The Mysteries of Udolpho was as mysterious as was its author.
Today, as with every other day, you don't have to go anywhere to learn about Ann Radcliffe, born on July 9, 1764.
For South African Olympic participation, renewed today in 1991 with a new dedication to equality among all South Africans.
And for the victims of the horrendous policies enacted by Donald H. Rumsfeld, born today in 1932.
Finally, a note of thanks to Radford University English professor Dr. Parks Lanier, whose critical, biographical and historical knowledge guides this entry. You get this information from me, but his is the scholarship, mine merely the forwarding.
In college, I took a class on British literature from Milton or so to as close to the modern literary age as the professor could get while still covering the canonical basics.
One of the many benefits of having gone to (and graduated from) a relatively small college is that my old professors actually have the time to answer my e-mail queries and announcements to them. As my Early American Literature answered my e-mail about my Anne Hutchinson diary, so did this professor answer my query on Ann Radcliffe.
Today, her reputation is eclipsed by Mary Godwin Shelley, who wrote Frankenstein (1816). In her own time, Radcliffe was very well known. She was born in 1764, the year Walpole published his ground-breaking Gothic Thriller The Castle of Otranto. She lived until 1823, but published nothing after 1797. Her success came as the emotional coldness of the Neo-Classical period ("Sense") gave way to an indulgence in feeling ("Sensibility"). Radcliffe's heroines weep easily. Today's readers are likely to find her "sentimental."
There is more (so much more) from Dr. Lanier, and this entry could easily be nothing more than my quoting my former professor, who shares my love of research (though he's done a bit more of it) and my love of grammar. (When he teaches grammar classes, the final exam is to assign form and function to every word of the Gettysburg Address.)
But within the story of Ann Radcliffe is the story of a woman who did not write what she knew about. She went against the conventions. And that story is, to me, at least as interesting as any of her Gothic novels.
Quoth Dr. Lanier:
Ann Radcliffe led a reclusive life. By 1809, readers thought she was dead. There was a rumor that her interest in Gothic horror had driven her insane.
There is another dialog to be had here, one regarding the sentimentality and mental weakness of women (as perceived back in the day, and an image still perpetuated by some people), and one that ignores the sheer mass of female readers of the Gothic novel. It also, helped by a lack of pre-modern scholarship, ignores the number of women who were writing back in the day:
Many, many women writers of the [19th century] have fallen by the wayside and are being resurrected by feminist critics. It is [amazing] how many women did publish before 1850. Look up Hawthorne's famous complaint about the "damned mob of scribbling women" to see how successful they were. Women did not need to take men's names in order to publish. Mary Ann Evans, for example, chose to write as George Eliot in order to set herself apart from the "mob" of other women writers.
That they were women and that some of them were writing exciting, easy-to-follow prose, rather than poetry extolling the virtues of some Greek figure, meant their work was not fit for public consumption, supposedly. In another class I took, a female novelist was quoted as complaining about how her public acceptance was massive the more she ignored her contemporary male editors, yet she was somehow beholden to them anyway.
(For a decent discussion of Evans' decision to write as George Eliot, read this.)
There's every reason here to engender (heh) a more substantive discussion on gender and writing, gender and creativity, gender and sensitivity, but there is an even more interesting point to be made:
Ann Radcliffe, writer of one of the best Gothic novels, wrote about the fantastic without experiencing it.
This is true of many Gothic writers, who couldn't exactly have experiences to draw upon when it came to witches, werewolves and other mythical figures.
But Radcliffe was a regular Emily Dickinson when it came to the outside world. She didn't even take many guests:
Jane Austen may have had access to Radcliffe, but I doubt [William] Beckford or [Matthew "Monk"] Lewis would have been allowed in the house.
In the cases of Beckford and Lewis, the lack of access to Radcliffe had at least as much do to with artistic differences as Radcliffe's reclusiveness. But otherwise, Radcliffe just plain didn't go many places, though you'd never know it (page author's bolding and underlining removed):
This pass, which led into the heart of the Apennine, at length opened to day, and a scene of mountains stretched in long perspective, as wild as any the travellers had yet passed. Still vast pine-forests hung upon their base, and crowned the ridgy precipice, that rose perpendicularly from the vale, while, above, the rolling mists caught the sun-beams, and touched their cliffs with all the magical colouring of light and shade. The scene seemed perpetually changing, and its features to assume new forms as the winding road brought them to the eye in different attitudes while the shifting vapours, now partially concealing their minuter beauties and now illuminating them with splendid tints, assisted the illusions of the sight.
Instead of going places, she looked at paintings:
For most contemporary readers, the charm and much of the originality of Radcliffe's novel lay in her descriptions of landscape, which were influenced by her favorite painters–Salvator Rosa, Claude, and Gaspar Poussin.
And indeed, as Dr. Lanier notes:
Radcliffe did not get her famous scenery from actually visiting those places so carefully drawn in her novels. It is no accident she was nicknamed 'The Salvator Rosa of fiction.' The gloomy sublime of Rosa's paintings fed her imagination.
Pay particular attention to Dr. Lanier's use of "gloomy sublime" there -- the man earned his doctorate writing on aspects of the sublime (in the poetry of William Wordsworth, if memory serves).
This notion of gaining popular acclaim by writing not based on visits to locales but to museums casts some doubt on the old premise that to write well, one must write on what one knows. And one knows nothing better than what is familiar.
Familiarity breeding content, to alter the famous sentiment, suggests to us that we will not be able to write convincingly about a subject unless we know of what we speak.
I've found, in practice, that people will believe most anything if it looks credible and they have no information to the contrary. (The fascinating thing is accepting the existence of vampires, then saying "They wouldn't say that!" and such. There is lack of credibility even in fiction.)
But I've also come to accept the truth of this exchange:
Sean: Thought about what you said to me the other day, about my painting. Stayed up half the night thinking about it. Something occurred to me... fell into a deep peaceful sleep, and haven't thought about you since. Do you know what occurred to me?
Will: No.
Sean: You're just a kid, you don't have the faintest idea what you're talkin' about.
Will: Why thank you.
Sean: It's all right. You've never been out of Boston.
Will: Nope.
Sean: So if I asked you about art, you'd probably give me the skinny on every art book ever written. Michelangelo, you know a lot about him. Life's work, political aspirations, him and the pope, sexual orientations, the whole works, right? But I'll bet you can't tell me what it smells like in the Sistine Chapel. You've never actually stood there and looked up at that beautiful ceiling; seen that. If I ask you about women, you'd probably give me a syllabus about your personal favorites. You may have even been laid a few times. But you can't tell me what it feels like to wake up next to a woman and feel truly happy. You're a tough kid. And I'd ask you about war, you'd probably throw Shakespeare at me, right, "once more unto the breach dear friends." But you've never been near one. You've never held your best friend's head in your lap, watch him gasp his last breath looking to you for help. I'd ask you about love, you'd probably quote me a sonnet. But you've never looked at a woman and been totally vulnerable. Known someone that could level you with her eyes, feeling like God put an angel on earth just for you. Who could rescue you from the depths of hell. And you wouldn't know what it's like to be her angel, to have that love for her, be there forever, through anything, through cancer. And you wouldn't know about sleeping sitting up in the hospital room for two months, holding her hand, because the doctors could see in your eyes, that the terms "visiting hours" don't apply to you. You don't know about real loss, 'cause it only occurs when you've loved something more than you love yourself. And I doubt you've ever dared to love anybody that much. And look at you... I don't see an intelligent, confident man... I see a cocky, scared shitless kid. But you're a genius Will. No one denies that. No one could possibly understand the depths of you. But you presume to know everything about me because you saw a painting of mine, and you ripped my fucking life apart. You're an orphan right?
[Will nods]
Sean: You think I know the first thing about how hard your life has been, how you feel, who you are, because I read Oliver Twist? Does that encapsulate you? Personally... I don't give a shit about all that, because you know what, I can't learn anything from you, I can't read in some fuckin' book. Unless you want to talk about you, who you are. Then I'm fascinated. I'm in. But you don't want to do that do you sport? You're terrified of what you might say. Your move, chief.
I could write about race, gender, sports, art, all of that for another 50 years. And all of the research I can do, every quotation I can pull, every word someone else wrote first ... would give you and me a great picture of what happened.
But I can't tell you what a riot smells like.
I can't tell you what it feels like to wake up the morning after you've been hit in the gut with water from a fire hose.
"Whites only" excludes my beliefs, but not my body.
And I'll never be able to identify innately with the feeling a black person has seeing that sign. There's an element of the struggle in every story I tell that I can't write about.
I don't know it to write about it. I can't see it, don't know how it smells and can't taste it in my mind. And if I try to grope about in the dark for it, all I end up doing is wasting my time and dishonoring the efforts of those who've had their hands full of the stuff, had it stain their palms, worn gloves to mask it.
So ... I do what I can. I quote the people who were there to talk about it. At my best, I "write the stories we weren't told about the people we never knew who made our world what we always thought we'd learned all about." But at my best, I'm writing those stories based very, very heavily on others' stories. And at my best, you're not thinking of me, not thinking about how I've written something. You get lost in the words I happen to have found, and you forget (as I do) that we aren't in 17th century America, that we aren't listening to this guy or serving with any of these people.
But do not ever confuse me with someone who has been there. When I haven't, I'll try to tell the stories through the words of those who were there.
And when I have, you'll know, because I won't be quoting much of anyone.
I'll be telling you what's going on.
Ann Radcliffe didn't go there. She didn't do that. (For that matter, neither did many of our great writers. Shakespeare never got shipwrecked, but he wrote The Tempest all the same.) But because she was writing fantasy, it didn't so much matter. She did it well, and she was recognized:
Joseph Wharton (died 1800), a pre-Romantic poet and critic, could not put Udolpho down. he sat up the greater part of a night to finish it. We know Radcliffe admired his verse because she uses it for epigraphs before chapters. Warton extolled imagination and originality.
Jane Austen satirizes the Gothic novel in her delightful Northanger Abbey (1803; publ. 1817). Poor Catherine has read too much Radcliffe and sees murder around every corner. It's funny to watch her scare herself.
Sir Walter Scott's series of Waverly novels (largely historical fiction) changed the taste of readers. Indeed, in Waverly, he said some unkind things about Udolpho and hurt Radcliffe's feelings. But he had many kind things to say about her later in Lives of the Novelists.
Some would say the Byronic hero owes something to Radcliffe's dark villains. Lord Byron must have been thrilled to [have] a character like "The Italian" in her novel by the same name.
I suspect Matthew "Monk" Lewis, author of The Monk, learned a few tricks from her. She stopped writing a few years after The Monk appeared (1795). She might have disliked where young lewis (he was only 20) was going with the genre. [William] Beckford's lurid Vathek, a mingling of Gothic and Orientalism, had shown the same tendency in 1786.

This is a part of an ongoing series of guest blog posts on the topic of civic courage, which is the theme of the National Rural Assembly 2018 convening.
This is a definition of "civic courage" developed by youth at the YouthBuild USA Conference of Young Leaders in March, 2018.
Civic courage looks like persistent, dedicated, and determined people showing up and speaking up for themselves and for those in their communities who cannot speak. Courage looks like vulnerable acts, like overcoming anxiety to become connectors and bridge-builders. We all have it within us to be courageous for our communities.
This is a guest post by Matthew Fluharty, a visual artist, writer, and field-based researcher living in Winona, Minnesota.
I believe that civic courage in rural America begins with an acknowledgement of the deep cultural history in our places -- and rooting a path forward from those stories while also sitting with the harder -- and often unacknowledged -- stories of how the the places we live now were intentionally shaped by colonialism, slavery, and extractive industries. There is so much hope, innovation, and human spirit in our communities; there's enough to look squarely at these legacies and create civic, economic, and cultural projects that include everyone and, in doing so, provide a model of engagement for our whole country. From that, I believe civic courage looks like folks making new friends at a barbecue, running for city council, or figuring out what to do with an empty storefront downtown. We get together in the same space, listen to each other, and make good things happen.
This is a guest post by Carol Blackmon, member of the National Rural Assembly Steering Committee and founder and President of C B Enterprises & Associates, Inc., a consulting firm that supports nonprofit organizational development, program development, and special project management.
Building Civic Courage:The 2018 Rural Assembly banner is quite profound in what some may call revolutionary and scary civic times. As we are witnessing changes and rollbacks of policies that really made America "Great." we must exhibit a special kind of civic courage. Federal rules have been changed on policies from climate change to the Tax System. Net neutrality has been killed. Our role and support in the Clean Power Plan has been eliminated and the methane gas rule related to hydraulic fracking has been delayed. Meanwhile, the Congressional Review Act has been liberally used by Congress to overturn policy following the required 60 day publication rule, to free employers from keeping records of accidents, assaults on immigrants, and overturned the number of guns that can be purchased by the mentally ill. The plethora of policies that have been changed, delayed and or eliminated go on and on.
And now, we come to the whole premise of flagrant voter fraud, being spread across the country but seemingly used mostly in small rural southern communities. Legal assaults are being perpetuated on targeted citizens using archaic legal maneuvering such as in Georgia where only the illiterate or disabled can be assisted at the polls. My friend and colleague was acquitted of this very crime after assisting someone to exercise their civic duty, to vote. As we hear these voter fraud stories, witness these policy deletions and changes, we should remain alert and engaged, show the courage of Olivia Pearson to be committed to the end.
We must be reminded of Rip Van Winkle. Rip went into the mountains and slept for 20 years. While he was asleep the American Revolution took place. On his way into the mountains he saw a sign declaring King George III as the ruler over America; but, after awaking,on his return, he saw a sign announcing that George Washington was President.
So I say to Rural America when it comes to civic courage, don't sleep through the revolution!

As we move into a three day weekend, it's the perfect time to get a library card and enjoy all of the FREE eresources available to you. For years now, I've downloaded ebooks and audiobooks for free from the library. Now, to my great excitement, libraries are offering more and more FREE emagazine checkouts through Zinio. A quick screen shot shows some of the magazines I have been able to "subscribe" to through my local library. The nice thing is that the checkout NEVER expires so you can keep the ezines on Zinio for as long as you like. Read an issue you don't care to keep? Just edit, click on the "X" and delete it! In addition, there are usually multiple issues to download. I downloaded four American Patchwork Quilting issues, etc. You don't need a tablet or iPad to use Zinio, you can read it online on a regular computer.
Did you know that there are "State" librarian help desks online that can answer questions about libraries in your state? I "spoke" to one and found that as a California resident that I can get a free library card at most libraries in the state, I don't have to be a resident of the county the library is in. In some states, I can pay $10/year and get a card. Good news to me since different libraries offer slightly different eresources. I am addicted to audiobooks and love to listen to them while knitting, sewing, crafting, etc. As one of those kids who loved being read to, the love continues. I'd say my very favorite audiobook narrator is Davina Porter. I've checked out books I don't normally "read" just because I love her voice. Conversely, there have been some books that I haven't been able to get past the first chapter because listening to the narrator is as if I'm hearing fingernails on a chalkboard.
After finishing one audiobook last night, I decided that I'd really like to listen to the Louise Penny books. I have five different library cards, by "visiting" each library I was able to download her first three books and put the others on "hold". Hopefully this is new info to someone and you get a library card and join in the "e-venture".
Have a happy, Zinio weekend.
After years of being on a hiatus, I've finally ventured back into the world of quilting. Jumping in with both feet, I decided it was time to make ISpy Quilts for my two youngest grandsons ages 3 and 16 months. It was a blast collecting all of the different prints needed. Curls and I went through our fabric collections scouring for prints, and I ordered some 5″ square packets from vendors on Etsy and eBay. Each quilt took eighty 4″ squares. However, this blog is not about the quilts, I will cover those in another blog. This blog is about my new design board. I would have found this to be an overwhelming task if it were not for my new design board!
There is not an empty wall on which I can place a design board in my Sewing Studio. The perfect solution for me is to place it over the closet curtains that way, when not in use, the board can be slid out of the way. I saw this design board on a blog I follow and fell in love with it. I ordered the design board from Fons and Porter when it was on sale. Think heavy-duty, plastic, cloth-lined, picnic table cloth and that's what this is. On the plastic side there are grid lines to help line up the squares. There are heavy duty grommets on the top on which attachments can be used. I've always wanted a reason to use Ikea's DIGNITET, curtain wire, it's the perfect solution.
You can see how the RIKTIG, curtain hooks with clip, are clipped onto the design board grommets. I used pliers to "close" the round part of the hook that the wire went through since this board gets pushed out of the way when not in use. The first time I pushed it, I hadn't closed the round part and the wall came tumbling down. LOL!
My sweet husband installed the hardware for me. He determined the height of the design wall by having me reach up to my highest point. He placed it up a couple of inches up from that so the grommets were above my reach. The DIGNITET can be adjusted so it goes in a straight line. With the line tightened up and the extra wire cut, I have the perfect solution for a design wall. BTW, you can get a glimpse of the wall hanging my grandma made when she was in her 80's.
Update to the design board is that yesterday I added extra hooks between each of the grommet pairs. I found that I wanted to hang up each row of the quilt as I finished it. Serves two purposes: 1. The row is safely out of the way and not taking up space on a horizontal surface and 2. I get to admire my work.
This quilt is my very first try at Quilt As You Go. I'll leave that wonderful experience for another time. Until then…..
Have a brilliant, creative day.

Lynden's Bellewood Acres gains co-owners
Filed on 17. Jan, 2019 in Business Briefs, Contents
Longtime distillery and apple farm Bellewood Acres recently gained new co-owners. The Abel family acquired the farm late last year, alongside founders John and Dorie Belisle. Eric and Julie Abel, along with their son and daughter-in-law Blake and Janelle, have taken on key leadership roles at Bellewood Acres. The farm includes 62 acres with apples and pear orchards and a 14,000-square-foot building with a store, cafe, bakery and distillery.
Eric Abel is now president, Julie Abel is store and cafe manager, Blake Abel is vice president and oversees orchard operations and Janelle Abel is marketing and community relations director. The Abel family doesn't plan any major immediate changes, but the distillery will begin offering a hard cider in addition to its eight existing spirits next year.
Bellewood Acres harvested 1.7 million pounds of apples last year and is visited by more than 50,000 people each year. It sells product into Haggen's, both Community Food Co-op locations, and seven Metropolitan Market stores in the Seattle area.
The Belisle's began Bellewood Acres in 1996 when they began planting apple trees on their property. In 2002, they opened the farm to the public. In 2016, they first announced that they were pursuing retirement and looking for the right buyer for the farm.
"Now it is time for us to retire to spend more time with our children and grandchildren," Dorie Belisle said, in a press release. "We are so proud to leave our farm in such great hands. Please help us welcome the Abel family."
Bellewood Acres is located at 6140 Guide Meridian. For more information, visit www.bellewoodfarms.com.
