Many people spend a ton of money replacing the factory axles in their JK with larger beefier Dana 60's or GM 14 bolt axles so they can run larger tires.
It's a tried and trued method to beef up your Jeep, it also comes with some negatives.
Swapping to one-ton axles comes with a slew of changes needed to make them work. New wheels, new steering, the expense of a direct fit housing or the cost of modifying one to fit and then we have to look at the reduced ground clearance of the larger housing.
For many, the complexities of having to customize their suspension, steering and dealing with the increased maintenance is a bridge too far.
One of the reasons many JK owners ended up doing an axle swap was the axle tube weakness in the JK 44. There are countless stories of wheelers bending their housing on the rocks or similar off-road situations. Working with companies like Off-Road Consulting and our own time off-road we never experienced this issue so we chose to go a different route.
Working with the Dana Spicer aftermarket parts catalog we put together a full setup of parts to beef up our axles and improve their ability to handle the abuse we would throw at them without sacrificing ground clearance or dealing with expensive axle swap labor.
Dana Spicer Chromoly axle shafts coupled with Dana Spicer ring and pinion to seriously beef up our axles and add performance to our Jeep.
For about $2000 you can really beef up an axle, correct your gear ratio for larger tires and make sure you get home from every wheeling trip.
This isn't an upgrade anyone will notice. They aren't flashy parts you can see but they are parts that give you peace of mind. Confidence in your running gear lets you enjoy each outing more and that's worth it to me.

Polarization & Charter/TFA Discussions
Here's why I think "civility" is a poor frame for discussions about public policy:
Michael Petrilli, of the conservative Hoover Institution, has a point that TFA discussions are now very polar. But he remains naive/turns a blind eye to how a flood of venture capital and hedge fund money, newly allied with religious right funders, has made it lucrative for former TFA alums (like Rhee) to push the agendas — deliberately far removed from classroom practice and realities — that they do. Clueless/careless about classes and students? That's a feature, not a bug.
From the NYT piece:
Michael Petrilli, a research fellow at Stanford University's Hoover Institution and a pro-charter education analyst with the Thomas B. Fordham Institute, worries about this lack of exchange. He recently conducted an analysis of Twitter and the tens of thousands of followers of Ms. Rhee, who is pro-charter, and Ms. Ravitch, who is anti-charter, and discovered that only 10 percent overlapped. Just as conservatives gravitate to Fox News and liberals to MSNBC to hear their preconceived notions and biases confirmed, Mr. Petrilli speculates that those in education are now preaching solely to the converted, a phenomenon known in the media world as 'narrowcasting.'
Worse, in Mr. Petrilli's view, those who follow Ms. Rhee tend to describe themselves in their Twitter profiles as policy makers or otherwise removed from the immediate realities of the classroom, while Ms. Ravitch's devotees are typically self-identified practitioners: principals and teachers on education's front lines. Surely these folks should be talking to one another, but in Mr. Petrilli's experience, they often aren't.
This gets cast as "civility" when it's really disingenuousness about how power, money, & influence warps education policy to profitable ends…at the expense of kids.
"Civility" is still wedded to the idea that "each side gets its say," quaintly familiar in the way that reporters are "objective" if "both sides" are represented in a story. (There are only *two* sides? How conveniently Manichean.) I think you get polarization when people try to shout above the din money creates in pushing corporate school reform, corporate amplification actively aided and abetted by corporate news outlets (NBC's "Education Nation," etc). You have to be more insistent when you're pushing against the money gradient, to puncture norms cocooned in Oprah appearances and other kinds of glossy marketing. Money makes for a handy mute button on things moneyed people don't want to hear.

Structural memory of water persists on picosecond timescale
by Max Planck Society
The lifetime of local water structures is probed using ultrafast laser pulses. Credit: © Yuki Nagata / MPI-P
A team of scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research (MPI-P) in Mainz, Germany and FOM Institute AMOLF in the Netherlands have characterized the local structural dynamics of liquid water, i.e. how quickly water molecules change their binding state. Using innovative ultrafast vibrational spectroscopies, the researchers show why liquid water is so unique compared to other molecular liquids. This study has recently been published in the scientific journal Nature Communications.
With the help of a novel combination of ultrafast laser experiments, the scientists found that local structures persist in water for longer than a picosecond, a picosecond (ps) being one thousandth of one billionth of a second (10-12 s). This observation changes the general perception of water as a solvent. "71% of the earth's surface is covered with water. As most chemical and biological reactions on earth occur in water or at the air water interface in oceans or in clouds, the details of how water behaves at the molecular level are crucial. Our results show that water cannot be treated as a continuum, but that specific local structures exist and are likely very important" says Mischa Bonn, director at the MPI-P.
Water is a very special liquid with extremely fast dynamics. Water molecules wiggle and jiggle on sub-picosecond timescales, which make them undistinguishable on this timescale. While the existence of very short-lived local structures - e.g. two water molecules that are very close to one another, or are very far apart from each other - is known to occur, it was commonly believed that they lose the memory of their local structure within less than 0.1 picoseconds.
The proof for relatively long-lived local structures in liquid water was obtained by measuring the vibrations of the Oxygen-Hydrogen (O-H) bonds in water. For this purpose the team of scientists used ultrafast infrared spectroscopy, particularly focusing on water molecules that are weakly (or strongly) hydrogen-bonded to their neighboring water molecules. The scientists found that the vibrations live much longer (up to about 1 ps) for water molecules with a large separation, than for those that are very close (down to 0.2 ps). In other words, the weakly bound water molecules remain weakly bound for a remarkably long time.

Born out of the banning of TUSD's Mexican-American Studies, Ojajá Systems explores what life is about for youth in Southern Arizona
By Melissa Vasquez
DJQ, a member of Ojalá Systems, will be performing at Tucson Hip Hop Festival.
There's a tight-knit group of young rappers and producers gaining momentum in the world of Tucson hip hop. Forget the overused verses about Xanax bars and weed, a new girl every weekend and luxury cars. What they offer the Tucson scene are their experiences and community tales through every lyric and beat they create.
Ojalá Systems is a group of local rappers and producers that just want to tell their stories with like-minded individuals while doing what they love, experimenting with lyrics, sounds and aesthetics.
Ojalá, made up by Mike Chekc$, DJQ, Mylkweed, REY, PONDI and Slabs, was born out of a need to give life to the stories they encounter and to combat censorship. Some of the members met through Unidos, a Tucson youth group that advocates for ethnic diversity in schools following the passing of a state law that banned certain aspects of ethnic studies in public school. Supporters of the law, which was later determined to be unconstitutional by federal courts, said it was designed to eliminate the Tucson Unified School District's Mexican-American Studies program, which was championed by advocates who said it inspired some students to stay in school and pursue higher education and attacked by detractors who said it encouraged students to hate America and white people.
Removal of the MAS program, which DJQ says was "so beautiful, so important for a lot of our people and a lot of our peers and friends," was a turning point in his approach to art and led to the formation of Ojalá, which means "hopefully" in Spanish.
"That was kind of the genesis," says DJQ, primarily a producer and poet. "If you're not gonna tell us our stories, we're gonna have to reflect it in our art."
The political climate and organizing in Tucson marked its influence in Ojalá's music and message. The members know their Tucson history and what people have gone through. They embed the spirit of local advocacy groups into their music.
"That's how we grew up—doing Unidos stuff, the MEChA stuff, doing the rallies, the walkouts, having events, open mics," DJQ said. "That's how we were taught to show love to people who were also in the struggle."
Mylkweed, who does creative photography, graphic design and illustration, also sees the reflections of these social movements in Ojalá's content.
He says these people's movements have molded Tucson's culture and identity and that through Ojalá, they try to tap into that. They do it out of passion and a desire to create what they don't see being done.
"Surely there's plenty of great music out there and awesome musicians but a lot of us, at least in our group, don't see exactly our narratives reflected," Mylkweed says. "Our sound as a community, hip hop-wise, absolutely is born from the work that our elders, such as radical political organizers, have done."
Ojalá draws inspirations from a variety of music styles, which lend it a timeless, groovy sound. DJQ says that being close to the West Coast and the southern border, while also having lots of musicians with Latino backgrounds, is reflected in the Tucson sound. Hints of '50s oldies, doo-wop and soul also are found in the music coming from Ojalá, with their own twist.
There's also the presence of border influence that permeates Tucson culture that comes up in the music.
"We have our roots," DJ Q says. "That we have familia over there that we can talk to, kind of brings us up hearing things like cumbia, reggaeton and all those other things that kind of make up the Latino music scene... We all like groovy sounds and our music reflects that in the way that we approach it, lyrically, sonically, and aesthetically."
These guys explore dark theories about what the future may bring—Black Mirror-related scenarios, a capitalistic machine grinding down people. Their music is an outlet to deal with those fears and make people see what they see do.
Mike Chekc$ believes that music, love and nature are the keys to saving our remaining humanity.
"Any mom would hold on to religion, hold on to that hope, hold on to that thing to keep you alive," he says. "That's what we're here for, to exist and help the people rise to power—these people, us people. It is possible, but it's gonna take a hell of a miracle. If you ask me, it's the only thing keeping us alive. It's hope. It's trying to live forever—because we could."

The 'Game of Thrones' series finale's 5 biggest stumbles
The dust is just now starting to settle from Game of Thrones' highly divisive series finale, an episode full of plot points perfectly fine in theory but highly flawed in execution.

Met with Elias Bizannes the founder of Startup Bus and StartupHouse.
He is originally from Australia but he was so fascinated by the market size of the U.S. compared to Australia that he moved to Silicon Valley.
1. In a big corporate environment you are used to the world of perfection, the finished product needs to be perfect. And you learn analytical skills which are important but they are not useful in startups. Complementary thinking as opposed to analytical skills is what makes you successful in a startup. It's building up on ideas until you come up with the idea that works.
2. In a Startup you are basically just searching for a business model.
3. You have to rephrase failure, I call it experimentation. You're always failing but the art is to experiment and see the result of that. Ultimately what makes failure in startups is running out of money due to bad execution.
4. Saying most people fail in startups, is like saying life will end in death.
5. Being an entrepreneur means being able to acquire and manage money. Managing your working capital is very important. People get caught up in raising money but what is even more important is managing your capital.
6. In a Startup you have to do a lot so being able to prioritise is very important.
-When you are staring a business you need two people, someone that can build it and someone that can sell it.
– the chemistry. Test it with being able to go through intense stress.
– Have really good agreements in place. Common is 1 year cliff and 4 year vesting. Slicing pie is also really good, because it is dynamic.
8. The probability of success of a startup is much higher if you are in Silicon Valley. Because of the ecosystem. Within a mile of here there are 5000 startups. We have such a high concentration of startups that the rate of learning, failing, and learning again is so much higher. But you could also do a business from anywhere, and also from Australia. If you are in Australia have a presence here.
However, the people of San Fran are not loyal. They move around as soon as someone else raises more money. So they may be the best in the world but they are also a pain.
9. Never do a business plan for a startup. Silicon Valley hates business plans. What actually matters is building a product that is great, and then showing traction. The best kind of traction is engagement. Acquiring users is easy, showing return of users is important. That type of traction is money, and is a business plan.
10. Australians are a very bootstrap nation, which is very different to the way of thinking here in the U.S. But if you can afford it bootstrapping is the best thing you can do. But at the end of the day it's all about managing your working capital!

Was Sir Christopher Wren a Freemason?
Was St Paul's Cathedral built by a mason?
With Christopher Wren's membership of the Craft remaining disputed, Dr James Campbell explains why he chose this subject for his 2011 Prestonian Lecture
Sir Christopher Wren is so well known he hardly needs an introduction. He is England's most famous architect, the designer of St Paul's Cathedral. Indeed, up until the age of the railways he was England's most prolific architect, designing more buildings in his 90 years than any other.
But what makes Wren really fascinating is that he turned to architecture rather late, having already made a considerable name for himself as a mathematician, astronomer and experimental scientist. He was a founding member of the Royal Society and later its president. He carried out the first intravenous injection, was one of the three men who suggested to Newton that gravity obeyed the inverse square law, and was a professor of astronomy at the age of 26. His contemporaries universally described him as startlingly brilliant. Indeed, the more you learn about Wren the more engaging he becomes.
My interest in Wren dates back to 1987, when I first arrived as an undergraduate in Trinity College, Cambridge, and discovered the magnificent library he built there. It sparked a lifelong interest in Wren and another in the architecture of libraries. An interest in Wren served me well and I eventually did my PhD on him and became an architectural historian. One topic kept coming up in my research on Wren: that of his link with Freemasonry. Authors were completely divided on the subject. Many, of course, simply ignored it entirely, but others could not make up their minds whether he was or was not a Freemason, let alone whether it had any effect on his architecture. That uncertainty continues to this day.
A CONTESTABLE TOPIC
If you go on the UGLE website and look at the lists of famous Freemasons, Wren's name is nowhere to be found. Writers on the subject have also varied in their opinions. John Hamill said in The Craft that the case is 'unproven'; David Stevenson has said in the past that there is no evidence; while Lisa Jardine, Wren biographer and distinguished historian, is in no doubt that he was. When you look further back – at the eighteenth century – the books of the time all state that Wren had not only been a Freemason, he had been the Grand Master. Some even go so far as to claim that Wren initiated Peter the Great of Russia and William III of England.
The Prestonian Lectures is the only series of lectures officially sanctioned by UGLE. Every year a new lecturer is appointed by the Trustees and announced in Grand Lodge. They choose their own topic. The subject should be suitable for delivery in open lodge or to a wider audience and should be of the broadest possible interest. Wren's membership of the Craft seemed to me to be ideal and I am pleased that the Trustees agreed.
William Preston (1742-1818), after whom the Prestonian Lectures is named, had been interested in Wren. Preston was convinced Wren was a Freemason and wrote on the subject. He even went as far as buying what he thought was a portrait of him for his lodge. It is now known to be a portrait of the architect William Talman, and it still hangs in Freemasons' Hall with a plaque wrongly labelled as Wren.
The lectureship Preston founded went into abeyance in the nineteenth century and was revived in its present form in 1924. Since then there have been eighty-two Prestonian Lecturers. Each is entitled to wear a distinctive jewel bearing Preston's image. In their year of office they give 'official' deliveries to lodges chosen by the Board of General Purposes and unofficial deliveries to any lodges that ask for them.
Wren's membership of the Craft has never been a subject of a Prestonian Lecture before, but is not an infrequent subject of masonic lectures. Most of those I have read are, I am afraid, rather confused.
Most lecturers rely heavily on Robert Freke Gould's History Of Freemasonry (1883-87), which devotes over fifty pages to demolishing the previously held beliefs that Wren was a Freemason. Few lecturers bother to return to the original sources or look into more recent discoveries. This became my aim: to present clearly how the confusion had arisen and what we now know, and in presenting the evidence to allow the audience to make up their own minds.
Some history is straightforward. Through a series of reliable sources we are able to say unequivocally that something happened on a particular date. Other matters are not so straightforward – vital pieces of evidence are missing or unreliable. This is the case with Wren. The result is a fascinating story of detective work and of shifting views in history.
THE IDEAL SUBJECT
Wren lived around the time that Freemasonry emerged in the seventeenth century, so the question of his membership also brings up the issue of what Freemasonry was at the time he joined. It therefore provides a fascinating glimpse into the problems we have in studying all parts of early Freemasonry's history.
Also bound up with this subject is the history of Lodge No. 2, the Lodge of Antiquity, which met near St Paul's Cathedral. Preston was a member of this lodge in the late eighteenth century and it has a number of artefacts associated with Wren. A lecture on Wren is thus an excuse to go into the history of this wonderful lodge and its origins.
Lastly a lecture on Wren and Freemasonry is an ideal opportunity to ask the question of whether it had any effect on his architecture. Are there any masonic symbols hidden in the works of Wren?
These then were the reasons I chose Wren as the subject of the 2011 Prestonian Lecture and it was a most enjoyable year. I gave lectures all over the UK, and I even went as far as India. One highlight was being asked to give a lecture to the Christopher Wren Lodge in Windsor, which hired the town hall Wren designed for the occasion.
Modernising Wren's hospital
The proceeds of the Prestonian Lecture and the booklet that accompanies it go to charity. Half of the proceeds from Dr James Campbell's lecture are going to The Royal Hospital Chelsea. The hospital is undergoing a major restoration and is seeking funds to adapt Wren's building to modern living. The other charity is the Royal Masonic Trust for Girls and Boys. So far, James has raised more than £6,500 thanks to the generosity of the lodges who have supported the lecture. The sale of the booklet will hopefully raise more. Was Sir Christopher Wren A Mason? contains the complete text of Dr James Campbell's 2011 Prestonian Lecture and is available from Letchworth's in Freemasons' Hall (letchworthshop.co.uk) for £7.99.

The Foundations of Modern Freemasonry
Dr Ric Berman will talk about his new publication "The Foundations of Modern Freemasonry" (Sussex Academic Press 2012) on Wednesday 20 June at The Library and Museum of Freemasonry, Freemasons' Hall, 60 Great Queen Street, London WC2B 5AZ.
Using largely unexplored original sources, many of which have recently become available in digital form, Dr Berman highlights how freemasonry expanded from its London hub using a range of networks and associations.
Some, such as the Royal Society, are familiar to Masonic researchers; others including the London and provincial scientific lecture circuit and the London magistracy, are investigated for the first time.
Dr Berman will also consider what implications this research has for the development of freemasonry after 1750, which is his current area of research.

Report of the Board of General Purposes - 14 September 2011
QUARTERLY COMMUNICATION OF GRAND LODGE
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF GENERAL PURPOSES
Board of General Purposes
The Board of General Purposes will meet in 2012 on 14 February, 20 March, 15 May, 17 July, 18 September and 13 November.
Attendance at lodges under the English Constitution by Brethren from other Grand Lodges
The Board draws attention to Rule 125 (b), Book of Constitutions, and the list of Grand Lodges recognised by the UGLE, published in the Masonic Year Book, copies of which are sent to lodge secretaries.
Only Brethren who are members of lodges under recognised jurisdictions may visit English lodges. They must produce a certificate (i.e. a Grand Lodge certificate or other documentary proof of masonic identity provided by their Grand Lodge), should be prepared to acknowledge that a personal belief in TGAOTU is an essential Landmark in Freemasonry, and should be able to produce evidence of their good standing in their lodges. It is the Master's responsibility to ensure that the requirements of Rule 125 (b) are met.
It is particularly noted that the hazard of admitting a member of an unrecognised constitution arises not only in connection with overseas visitors (or individuals resident in this country who belong to an unrecognised constitution overseas). There are Lodges of unrecognised constitutions meeting in England, and care must be taken that their members are not admitted to our meetings.
Attendance at Lodges Overseas
The continuing growth in overseas travel brings with it an increase in visits by our Brethren to lodges of other jurisdictions, and the Board welcomes this trend. From time to time, however, Brethren become involved with masonic bodies which Grand Lodge does not recognise, e.g. in visiting a jurisdiction which, quite legitimately so far as it is concerned, accepts as visitors Brethren from Grand Lodges which are not recognised by the UGLE.
In this connection, Brethren are reminded that it is part of their duty as members of the English Constitution not to associate masonically with members of unrecognised constitutions, and should such a situation occur, they should tactfully withdraw, even though their visit may have been formally arranged.
To avoid this danger, and potential embarrassment to hosts, Brethren should not attempt to make any masonic contact overseas without having first checked (preferably in writing) with the Grand Secretary's Office at Freemasons' Hall, Great Queen Street, London WC2B 5AZ, that there is recognised Freemasonry in the country concerned and, if so, whether there is any particular point which should be watched.
The Board recommends that the terms of this warning should be repeated verbally in open lodge whenever a Grand Lodge Certificate is presented, and in print once a year in a lodge's summons.
Brethren should also be aware of the masonic convention that communications between Grand Lodges be conducted by Grand Secretaries. They should therefore not attempt without permission to make direct contact with the Grand Secretary of another Constitution. This does not preclude direct contact on a purely personal level between individual Brethren under different Grand Lodges.
At the June Quarterly Communication of Grand Lodge the President made a statement relating to the turbulence existing in the Grande Loge Nationale Française (GLNF) and indicated that the Board would continue to monitor the situation closely.
The Board regrets that the situation within the GLNF has deteriorated. Notwithstanding the letter its current Grand Master wrote to our Pro Grand Master, he failed to relinquish his mandate on 27 June. This has done nothing to ease the discord.
Some 600 lodges or more have dissociated themselves from the Grand Lodge or have indicated that they will be doing so. This means that their members, unless they have dual membership with lodges that remain under the GLNF or a lodge in another jurisdiction with whom this Grand Lodge is in amity, would cease to be able to visit our lodges. It would be an impossible task for our lodges to know which French masons could visit us and which could not.
Harmony within lodges and with fellow masons has always been one of the customs and usages of Freemasonry. This is a fundamental principle urged upon candidates at their initiation. Indeed, it is so fundamental that it has never been considered necessary to enshrine it as a Rule in the Book of Constitutions, though the Antient Charges which are published as a part of the Book of Constitutions urge the cultivation of brotherly love, 'avoiding all wrangling and quarrelling, all slander and backbiting'.
The Board considers that the GLNF may be in breach of paragraph 8 of the Principles for Grand Lodge Recognition –'That the principles of the Antient Landmarks, customs, and usages of the Craft shall be strictly observed' – which are also included with the Book of Constitutions.
The evidence of substantial disharmony within the GLNF is overwhelming. However, the Board is reluctant at present to recommend withdrawal of recognition from a Grand Lodge with which the UGLE has been in amity for nearly 100 years. It therefore recommends that with immediate effect relations with the GLNF be suspended, that is to say that:
1. Our Brethren should no longer be permitted to join or to visit Lodges under the GLNF; and
2. Our lodges should no longer be permitted to elect as a joining member or admit as a visitor any Brother who is a subscribing member of a lodge under the GLNF, unless he is also a subscribing member of a lodge under UGLE or under a Grand Lodge, other than the GLNF, recognised by UGLE.
This suspension would not force any of our Brethren who are currently also members of lodges under the GLNF to resign from any such lodges, nor would it prevent such Brethren from continuing to exercise, as members of lodges under the GLNF, such rights, including those of visiting, as they enjoy under the GLNF.
A Resolution to give effect was approved.
The Board hopes that it will not be too long before harmony is restored within the GLNF so that we may resume normal relations with our Brethren in France.
Sir James Martin Lodge No. 4255 has resolved to surrender its Warrant in order to amalgamate with Semper Vigilans Lodge No. 3040 (London).
A resolution that the lodge be removed from the register in order to effect the amalgamation was approved.
Erasure of Lodges
The Board had received a report that 23 lodges had closed and have surrendered their Warrants. The lodges are: Athenaeum Lodge No. 1491 (London), Lombardian Lodge No. 2348 (London); King George V Lodge No. 3529 (East Lancashire), Providence Lodge No. 3697 (London), Doric Lodge No. 4073 (Yorkshire, West Riding), St Helen's Lodge of Integrity No. 4151 (West Lancashire), Portman Lodge No. 4747 (London), Pandora Lodge, No. 4966 (London), Winckley Lodge No. 5438 (West Lancashire), Woodland Lodge No. 5478 (East Lancashire), Estreham Lodge No. 5494 (London), Eureka Lodge No. 5505 (East Lancashire), Temple of Friendship Lodge No. 5886 (Surrey), Magnum Bonum Lodge No. 6613 (London), Fellowship and Peace Lodge No. 7002 (London), Hackney Brook Lodge No. 7397 (London), New Era Lodge No. 7400 (Hertfordshire), Teddington St Mary's Lodge No. 7469 (Middlesex), Brookmans Park Lodge No. 7655 (Hertfordshire), Summa Petens Lodge No. 7682 (London), Tavistock Lodge No. 8376 (Surrey), Bi-Centenary Lodge of Nottinghamshire No. 9070 (Nottinghamshire) and Star and Phoenix Lodge No. 9286 (London).
The Board recommendation that they be erased was approved.
In 1993 a Warrant was granted for Lodge of Shankar No. 9526 (Bombay) and in 1996 a Warrant was granted for Universal Lodge No. 9644 (Guyana). Both Warrants were issued, but neither lodge has been, or is now likely to be, consecrated.
The Board recommendation that the lodges be formally erased was approved.

Report of the Council of the Library and Museum Charitable Trust for the year ended 31 January 2011
The Library and Museum of Freemasonry at Freemasons' Hall in London is open to the public, free of charge, Monday to Friday 10 am–5 pm. The book, object and archive collections are available for the enjoyment of visitors of all ages by way of the permanent displays and increasing online resources which are also available for those who cannot visit in person. Temporary exhibitions highlight aspects of the collections.
During 2010 the Library and Museum organised two exhibitions: Freemasons and the Royal Society and The Masonic Emporium. Both exhibitions drew extensively on the Library and Museum's own collections.
The Royal Society exhibition marked the 350th anniversary of its founding. Work related to the exhibition resulted in the online publication of a searchable biographical listing of nearly 400 Freemasons who were also Fellows of the Society. Loans to the exhibition were made by Alma Mater Lodge, No. 1492, in Cambridge. The Royal Society provided images from their collections.
In The Masonic Emporium the Library and Museum explored the growth of a commercial market for masonic items and the businesses which developed to supply it in the 19th century. The exhibition was supported by Toye, Kenning and Spencer, who kindly lent photographs and documents from their archives and specimen items from the manufacturing process. A number of objects were lent from private collections. A free illustrated exhibition guide was published for this exhibition.
A record number of more than 30,000 visited the Library and Museum during the year (2009–2010: 25,622) of whom approximately 60% were not Freemasons. For many visitors the highlight was the tour of the ceremonial areas provided by Library and Museum staff. The Library and Museum and the ceremonial rooms of Freemasons' Hall were opened on Saturday, 18 September 2010 for London Open House. More than 2,500 visitors were received that day.
Provision of research resources
Increasing use is being made of the Library and Museum as a research resource with over 170 new readers registered during the year (2010: 200). The issue of books and documents has continued to increase steadily. Many enquiries are dealt with by mail or increasingly electronically.
A new version of the Library and Museum website was launched in November 2010 designed with easier navigation and with more images to convey the variety of the collections. This provided the opportunity to reissue the series of downloadable Information Sheets on a range of frequently requested topics. Also included on the site is guidance for lodges and chapters about the care of their records.
Good progress continued to be made with over 650 museum items catalogued (2010: 509). This included the collection of 18th century plated and pierced metal Masonic jewels. In addition, 2,755 books (2010: 4,810) and 1,835 detailed archive records (2010: 1,385) were added to the catalogue. Work has continued on cataloguing the print and photograph collection and over 1,500 images are now available.
Following the Historical Records Survey which was undertaken in 2008–2010, the Library and Museum co-ordinated a grant scheme to support conservation work on lodge and chapter records. The scheme attracted 35 applications from lodges and chapters in 18 Provinces and 12 grants were made. It is intended to administer a similar grants scheme in 2011. Library and Museum staff also gave several presentations at Provincial offices on conservation.
Donations of regalia, books and artefacts have continued to enable the Library and Museum to expand its collections and the Council is grateful for the generosity of all donors.
Raising awareness of the Collections
Members of staff spoke at lodges around the country and at meetings of family history societies and local and specialist history groups. The Curator, Mark Dennis, presented a paper on masonic regalia at the International Costume Conference in Athens in April.
Director Diane Clements and Archivist and Records Manager Susan Snell, presented papers at the Women and Freemasonry conference organised by the University of Bordeaux in May and these will be published in 2011-2012.
Susan Snell also spoke to the Jewish Genealogical Society of Great Britain and gave a paper to the British Records Association conference in December on Masonic charity.
In November 2010 a joint event, Freemasonry and Ancient Egypt, was run with the Petrie Museum at University College, London. Due to the success of this event it was repeated early in 2011.
Plans for future periods
One of the most important resources used by the Library and Museum are the membership registers maintained by UGLE for the century or so after the 1880s. These exist as unique volumes. During 2011 the Library and Museum is undertaking a project to microfilm these volumes to assist with their future preservation.
For 2011 the temporary exhibition programme will include Building Solomon's Temple and The Patriot Freemason: Freemasonry in American Society. Work continues on documentation, cataloguing and re-storage.
As at 31 January 2011 the consolidated net assets of the Library and Museum Charitable Trust were £2,719,700 (2010: £2,634,699).
The activities of the Library and Museum are funded by donations, fees charged for genealogical research and booking fees for Saturday tours. The Friends of the Library and Museum established in 2001 enables individuals (whether Freemasons or not), lodges and chapters to support the Library and Museum by way of an annual subscription.
Friends receive regular Newsletters and can attend special events. The Friends scheme is open to all those interested in developing their understanding of the varied collections of the Library and Museum and who wish to contribute to their development and care.
The Library and Museum's trading subsidiary, Letchworth's (Freemasons' Hall, London) Limited made a Gift Aid contribution to the Library and Museum of £92,202 (2010: £75,740).
This Report comprises extracts from the Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 January 2011. For a copy of the full Annual Report and Accounts please write to the Director.

Looking Forward At The Library And Museum
The Library and Museum has continued to make good progress in meeting its objective of making its collections available to as many people and to the widest possible range of audiences as possible in order to improve the understanding of Freemasonry and its role, past and present, in society, director Diane Clements told the Quarterly Communication of Grand Lodge in September.
The most obvious way that this was done was by it being open, free of charge, every weekday, including to people joining the regular guided tours. In the past four years, visitor numbers had increased by 40 per cent thanks to the existing staff of guides working with others, especially security and maintenance.
To mark the 350th anniversary of the Royal Society staff worked with North Yorkshire Province to produce a list of more than 350 masons who were also Fellows of the Society. The list is available on the Library and Museum website and include Sir George Everest of mountain fame, psychologist Charles Myers, generally credited with the first use of the term 'shell-shock', and zoologist Edward Hindle who, as part of his distinguished scientific career, introduced the golden hamster as a domestic pet.
Cataloguing of the collections continued and information was available on the electronic catalogue on the website. Staff had catalogued all the sheet music – over 1,500 items – and archive material including the records of erased lodges and thousands of prints and photographs of individuals.
They had also undertaken a detailed analysis of what is required to catalogue and photograph all the items in the museum collection – 40,000 objects.
They will be starting a two-year project to digitise English eighteenth and nineteenth-century masonic periodicals this autumn, which will become available in comprehensive indexes and searchable. There are also more than 2,000 readers registered to use the archive collections.
Library and Museum staff also answer more than 3,000 queries a year and had given presentations at conferences and presented papers to professional and specialist groups. Material from the collections had been lent to other museums at home and abroad.
Work with provinces and districts has focused on the Historical Records Survey, which aimed to discover the extent and condition of all lodge and chapter records in England and Wales. The 60 per cent or so response rate, which was a fantastic achievement by local co-ordinators and thousands of lodge secretaries and chapter scribes, would ensure that local masonic history made a considerable contribution to Freemasonry's tercentenary.
The Masonic Libraries and Museums Group is run by representatives of provincial libraries and museums and which Library and Museum staff support. Over the past ten years this group has helped to foster new museums and libraries in several provinces so that the heritage of Freemasonry could be preserved at a local level.
The Library and Museum has been awarded grants from external sources. One recent grant enabled them to establish a properly racked paintings store, another contributed towards the conservation of the world-class collection of Old Charges. Profits from the shop at Freemasons' Hall are gift-aided to the Library and Museum. Since 2003, the shop had sold nearly 120,000 books, more than 90,000 Craft ties and 1,247 miniature masonic teddy bears.
The Library and Museum was looking forward to making a major contribution to the Royal Arch bicentenary celebrations in 2013 with an exhibition and to the tercentenary in 2017.
They would also be marking the 2012 Olympics in London. Plans include an exhibition on Freemasonry and Sport which will cover the important role played by leading masons in the first London Olympics in 1908 as well as the masonic involvement of sportsmen generally.

Edward Jenner - Freemason And Natural Philosopher
David Harrison Looks At The Work Of This Pioneering Scientist
It has been said that the discovery of the smallpox vaccine in the late eighteenth century by Freemason, Edward Jenner has saved more lives than the work of any other man: Jenner has been fairly described as the 'father of immunology'
The publication in 1798 of Jenner's findings that cowpox could protect against the feared and usually fatal disease – smallpox – gained him instant support by members of the scientific community. Recognition of his work was reflected in the foundation of the Jennerian Society in London in 1803 by admirers in order to promote vaccination among the poor; Jenner was actively involved in its affairs. Government grants followed and Jenner carried out further experimental work on his vaccine. His interest in science led him to form a number of scientific societies and he was to become a Fellow of the Royal Society.
Jenner was an active Freemason, serving in 1812 as Master of the Royal Lodge of Faith and Friendship, No. 270, based in Berkeley, Gloucestershire. This lodge was regularly visited by the Prince of Wales – the future George IV – and was a lodge that was to become associated with the Jenner family.
The Defeat of Smallpox
Jenner was born in Berkeley in 1749 and had been inoculated against smallpox while at school. This inoculation, or variolation as it was termed, was a method of deliberately introducing smallpox to a person, thus giving them the disease so they could acquire immunity. It was a practice that carried its own risk of infection to others but was seen as safer than becoming infected with the disease during an outbreak. However, this variolation was to adversely affect his general health throughout his life and no doubt gave him the impetus to find an effective and safer method of immunity against the disease.
At thirteen Jenner was apprenticed to a local surgeon before going on to study surgery and anatomy under the celebrated surgeon John Hunter in London, who became a lifelong friend. He returned to his native Berkeley in 1773 and set up a successful practice of his own. It was here in 1796 that Jenner made his observation that milkmaids who had caught the milder disease known as cowpox – which resulted in a blister rash mainly on the hands – seemed to be immune from the more aggressive and deadly smallpox.
To test his theory, Jenner had to experiment by introducing cowpox to someone who had not had smallpox, which he confidently did with James Phipps, the eight-year old son of his gardener. Jenner made a few scratches on the boy's arm and rubbed into them some infected material from the hands of a milkmaid, Sarah Nelmes, who had contracted cowpox. Jenner then introduced smallpox to the boy through the traditional variolation technique and, as predicted, the boy did not develop the disease. Jenner subsequently tested many other people with his vaccine, proving his theory that cowpox gave a greater immunity to smallpox.
Edward Jenner was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1789, not for his medical work but for his research on the study of the then misunderstood nesting habits of the cuckoo. Indeed, Jenner embraced the study of nature in a wider sense, examining many aspects of the natural world in order to gain a deeper understanding of what he saw as God's work. He was also an avid fossil-hunter and geologist: in 1819 he found a fossil of what would become known as the plesiosaur. At this time, a theory was developing that regarded fossils as the remains of species that could be extinct, a theory which Jenner came to support, saying that 'Fossils are…monuments to departed worlds'.
Fascinated by new ideas concerning any form of natural philosophy, Jenner had taken an interest in ballooning, launching his own balloon in 1784, which successfully flew a number of miles. He also enthusiastically studied the hibernation of animals during winter as well as the mystery of bird migration. He suggested that some birds left Britain for the winter and returned for the summer – a theory that contradicted the tradition that birds slept in mud for the winter.
He maintained an active correspondence with other eminent Freemasons of the period who shared his theories and ideas; Freemasons such as Sir Joseph Banks, a member of the Royal Somerset House and Inverness Lodge, No. 4, who served as president of the Royal Society, and Erasmus Darwin, initiated 1754 into Lodge St. Davids, No. 36 (S.C.), who was involved with the Birmingham-based Lunar Society, a number of whose members were Freemasons.
The Royal Lodge of Faith and Friendship held a Science Select Lodge organised by Jenner where lodge members had to produce a paper on a specific scientific subject; this Science Select Lodge was reminiscent of the Lunar Society meetings. Other lectures had taken place within masonic lodges throughout the country, such as the Old Kings Arms Lodge, No. 28, London, the lectures being intricately entwined with the lodge meeting itself. Another example of scientific teaching taking place within lodges can be seen in the Lodge of Lights, No. 148, Warrington, which held lectures on Newtonian gravitational astronomy in 1800 and 1801. All three lodges are still working today.
The Royal Lodge of Faith and Friendship continued to celebrate the life and work of Edward Jenner after his death in 1823 and other members of Jenner's family, such as his nephews Henry Jenner and the clergyman William Davies, became members. The lodge emblem, used to this day, commemorates the gift to Jenner of a wampum belt by the Five Nations of North America after Jenner personally sent them a sample of the cowpox virus along with a copy of his work on vaccination; Jenner wore this belt in front of his apron at the last masonic meeting he attended.
In 1825, members of the Provincial Grand Lodge of Gloucestershire subscribed sufficient funds to erect a memorial statue to him in Gloucester Cathedral.
Jenner certainly studied many aspects of the 'hidden mysteries of nature and science' and seemed to have found in Freemasonry a means by which he could convey his scientific beliefs as well as his spiritual and moralistic values. His studies of nature were firmly in balance with his belief in God's grand design of the universe. In a letter to his friend, the Rev. Thomas Pruen, he wrote:
The weather may be inconvenient for the designs of man, but must always be in harmony with the designs of God, who has not only this planet, our Earth, to manage, but the universe. The whole creation is the work of God's hands. It cannot manage itself. Man cannot manage it, therefore, God is the manager.


(Newser) – A species of frog so tiny that several of them could fit on a fingernail with room to spare has been found hopping around the forests of Papua New Guinea. At 0.27 inches long, Paedophryne amauensis is the smallest frog ever discovered and, by some measures, is the world's smallest vertebrate. The only smaller creature with a backbone is the male of a species of anglerfish, but they spend their lives fused to much larger females.
Can you even imagine the cost of a plate of frogs' legs in a fancy New York restaurant?


Abstract. In April 2015, an ice-tethered conductivity–temperature–depth (CTD) profiler and a down-looking acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) were deployed from the landfast ice near the tidewater glacier terminus of the Flade Isblink Glacier in the Wandel Sea, NE Greenland. The 3-week time series showed that water dynamics and the thermohaline structure were modified considerably during a storm event on 22–24 April, when northerly winds exceeded 15ms−1. The storm initiated downwelling-like water dynamics characterized by on-shore water transport in the surface (0–40m) layer and compensating offshore flow at intermediate depths. After the storm, currents reversed in both layers, and the relaxation phase of downwelling lasted ∼4 days. Although current velocities did not exceed 5cms−1, the enhanced circulation during the storm caused cold turbid intrusions at 75–95m depth, which are likely attributable to subglacial water from the Flade Isblink Ice Cap. It was also found that the semidiurnal periodicities in the temperature and salinity time series were associated with the lunar semidiurnal tidal flow. The vertical structure of tidal currents corresponded to the first baroclinic mode of the internal tide with a velocity minimum at ∼40m. The tidal ellipses rotate in opposite directions above and below this depth and cause a divergence of tidal flow, which was observed to induce semidiurnal internal waves of about 3m height at the front of the glacier terminus.
Our findings provide evidence that shelf–basin interaction and tidal forcing can potentially modify coastal Wandel Sea waters even though they are isolated from the atmosphere by landfast sea ice almost year-round. The northerly storms over the continental slope cause an enhanced circulation facilitating a release of cold and turbid subglacial water to the shelf. The tidal flow may contribute to the removal of such water from the glacial terminus.

This paper reports the analysis of 3-week oceanographic data obtained in the front of Flade Isblink Glacier in northeast Greenland. The major focus of research is considering the changes of water dynamics and the altering of temperature and salinity vertical distribution occurring during the storm event. We discuss the mechanisms that are responsible for the formation of two-layer circulation cell and release of cold and relatively fresh sub-glacial waters into the ocean.

We are living in a time that we see at home and abroad attacks on justice, human rights and a leader in our nation that espouses racism and hate. It is time thus to remember the words on his birth date pf Martin Luther King Jr. He knew deeply the forces of evil and hate and the returned both with peaceful protest and understanding and love. It is sad that we have moved so much backward from not only his fight against bigotry but also his work for the poor and neglected. We are seeing around the world but also now a determined effort to harm the "least among us" at home by Trump and his supporters, but also abroad with his acquiescence in acts of cruelty and violation of human rights and not least admiration of brutal dictators. King would have understood that context and would voice his opposition but in the hope of redemption by moral force.
A personal note, Martin Luther King Jr was a beacon of hope and justice during my grad student days. I heard him at a Yale commencement and later in London heard his talk at St. Paul's Cathedral on his way to pick up his Nobel prize. I joined earlier also at grad school in a "sit-in" effort in St. Augustine in Florida on Spring break sponsored and led by King's Southern Christian Leadership Council (SCLC), landed in jail with many others including my wonderful Yale Chaplain William Sloane Coffen Jr.
Let us not forget is goals and sacrifice.

It is hard to be as optimistic as MLK in these days of political strife, overt political racism in the U.S., and international militarism.
Paul, so much of decency has disappeared both at home and abroad due to Trump and his GOP enablers. (FYI: the somehow cut me off from the management of this blog and trying to get to them to fix it has been very difficult they really do have a phone help line..) .

Student Spotlight: Nick Zausch
Posted on February 27, 2018 by Kayla
When Nick Zausch decided to go to law school, he set out on a journey to find the school that was right for him, touring seven schools in four states including Wisconsin, Illinois, Georgia, and Washington, DC.
"I wanted an outstanding legal education, but I also wanted to find a school where I would feel at home—where it would be easy for me to make friends," said Nicholas Zausch, now a second year law student at Loyola. "Of all the schools I toured, Loyola was the only one that accomplished both. The school is ranked #1 in the country in my area of interest, and when I visited campus, everyone was friendly and genuinely interested in me."
A Wisconsin native who graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and attended a Jesuit high school in Milwaukee, Zausch says he was drawn to Loyola, in part, because of its strong Jesuit heritage.
"Loyola had the same supportive and collaborative atmosphere I had experienced in high school. When I was finished with my tour, I knew this is where I wanted to be," he said.
Advocating for children
Prior to attending law school, Zausch worked at City Year Milwaukee, a non-profit Americorps organization that provides tutoring and mentoring services in underserved schools across the United States to help close the achievement gap of at-risk youth. "As a passionate advocate for children, I knew I could do more to help children who face some of life's greatest challenges," he said. "Whether it's working with kids to get them back on the right track after they've made a mistake, helping them to escape an abusive home, or offering legal assistance to parents in need—I found my calling to become a lawyer."
Zausch applied for and was selected to receive a prestigious ChildLaw Fellowship offered by Loyola's internationally recognized Civitas ChildLaw Center. Over three years in law school he will receive scholarship assistance in exchange for completion of program requirements and a commitment to working in the field of child and family law for at least two years after graduation.
Honing skills outside of the classroom
In addition to his coursework, Zausch is involved in a number of extracurricular activities that have helped him develop his talents, interest, and skills. He is a member of Loyola's Family Law Moot Court Team, serves as a junior editor of the student-run Children's Legal Rights Journal, and as president of the school's Alternative Dispute Resolution Society. He is also the director of outreach for Stand Up for Each Other, a law student-led initiative to address school suspensions of pre-K through high school students in the Chicago area. When he is not at Loyola, he works part time at the Chicago family law firm Berger Schatz.
"I am grateful to have found an outstanding law school that meets my personal needs as well as my professional goals," said Zausch. "I've met incredible people at Loyola who I know will remain lifelong friends. I don't have a ton of time to hang out after school, but when I do, my 1L classmates are the first people I call."

Ross Announces Knee Injury; Will Be Back
By Megan Harrod
November, 13 2020
Land Rover U.S. Alpine Ski team speed specialist and Olympian Laurenne Ross, pictured here at the Pyeongchang Olympics, announced on Friday that she has sustained a left knee injury while training giant slalom at U.S. Ski Team Speed Center at Copper Mountain, Colo. last week. (Matthias Hangst-Getty Images)
Land Rover U.S. Alpine Ski Team speed specialist and Olympian Laurenne Ross announced on Friday that she has sustained a left knee injury while training giant slalom at U.S. Ski Team Speed Center at Copper Mountain, Colo. last week.
Laurenne, who sat out the 2019-20 season to rehab a left knee injury sustained during a warm-up run prior to her downhill training run at the 2019 FIS Ski World Championships in Are, Sweden, had just returned with her team for a full—albeit odd, in the wake of a global pandemic—prep period starting with a camp at Copper Mountain in June.
Laurenne suffered a severe knee injury at U.S. Alpine Championships late in the 2017 season, worked tirelessly to make a comeback in time to qualify for the 2018 Olympic Team. She was a part of the fastest downhill team in the world in 2018. She struggled to find her groove early in the 2018-19 season but had made considerable steps forward in the month of January, scoring inside of the points in every single start from the new year to World Championships - including three top-15 results.
Clearly heartbroken, once again, Laurenne expressed her feelings on social media,
I cannot express my heartbreak here, through words on a screen…I crashed training GS the other day. It hurt. A lot. I tweaked my left knee when I hit the fence, and devastation flooded over me like a tsunami.
Thankfully, her hope is that she will recover without undergoing surgery, and she is able to be back on skis sometime in the next few weeks. The first FIS Alpine Ski women's speed event is a pair of super-G races slated for St. Moritz, SUI on Dec. 5-6.

A talented artist as well as a ski racer, Laurenne Ross is one of the most dynamic athletes on and off the snow with incredible talent on violin, piano, guitar, vocals and as a visual artist. Born in Edmonton, Alberta, Ross cut her teeth at a small local hill but headed to the Canadian Rockies on weekends, where she raced her Dad (a former alpine racer) to the lodge.

The Story of the Artifacts
The film shows the house, in which Leon spent his early childhood.
By now, the entire block is empty and is being revitalized. The arrow in the picture points to one of the old windows of his family home. The window from the exhibition is from a demolished 1930s-era house.
There are no more hints in Lodz, as to where the areas of resettlement were.
The sign is a replica that was created by an art painter. The painter used a catalogue of original fonts from the Nazi era to create the sign.
In the bucket, there are flies in an acrylic paste.
The flies not only stand for being utterly at the mercy of others, but also symbolically for the presence of "Beelzebub" – the devil.
The shoes are from a barn closure in eastern Germany. There were dozens of pairs, almost all of which were sold at flea markets.
Here it becomes quite clear why the artifacts are all nailed to a post: it is the symbolism of the crucifixion.
This old aluminium spoon was found by pure happenstance in a barn from the 1930s.
DEHUMANIZED
This insulator is from an old, dismantled transformer station in northern Germany.
This showerhead is from a men's shower room in a former coal power plant in eastern Germany. The plant was opened in the 1920s and closed in the early 1990s. Most of the showerheads broke over time and were replaced. A small handful of originals are still there.
In the photo, you can see the showerhead from the exhibition, before it was deinstalled.


Not only are there things available in Florida that are not available in the UK, there are many things that are not available in the UK as cheaply as in Florida.
Salad or soup before the main course included in the price at most restaurants.
Speedy restaurant service - too speedy sometimes.
Goods delivered within 24 hours of being ordered – sometimes even the same day (not 6 to 8 weeks)!
Twice weekly rubbish collection – and they will take anything including old furniture and electrical appliances.
Coffee and sodas refillable in all fast food restaurants and most restaurants.
Sober teenagers – they cannot drink until they are twenty one in America!
Spectacles – particularly if you go to Walmart, just as good as Specsavers and a third of the price of the UK or even Lens Crafters in the Florida Mall.
Do be aware when you are shopping that the price you see on the ticket does not include sales tax. This will be added on at the till.
It is worth checking out which credit cards in the UK don't charge interest on each purchase. You may not notice this as they convert it into a poor exchange rate.

Listen To An Unreleased Lady Gaga Track "Nothing On (But The Radio)"
A tasty lil pop song called "Nothing On (But The Radio)" surfaced this week, and there's currently a back-and-forth debate going on in a Lady Gaga forum whether this is indeed the almighty pop queen singing on the track, or if the vocalist is a very Gaga-sounding demo singer. As far as we're concerned, sounds like Gaga to us. Take the jump to listen and judge for yourself.
We were at first excited that this might be a track off her upcoming LP, Born This Way, but we've heard from sources that, if anything, it comes from Gaga's The Fame sessions. Drat. We'll have to keep waiting.
It's a cute tune, alright, but we prefer Gaga's other radio-referencing song, "Living On The Radio." Do you?

BEATLES: Abbey Road 50th Anniversary Collection Updated
The secret has been out of the bag for a while, but with last Thursday being the 50th anniversary of The Beatles taking the cover shot for their final album, Abbey Road, we now have the details and a date -- September 27th -- for the 50th anniversary deluxe release.
Now available for pre-order, the album's 17 tracks are newly mixed by producer Giles Martin and mix engineer Sam Okell in stereo, high res stereo, 5.1 surround, and Dolby Atmos, accompanied by 23 session recordings and demos, most of which are previously unreleased.
To produce the mix, Giles was guided by the album's original stereo mix supervised by his father, the late George Martin. "Our quest is simply to ensure everything sounds as fresh and hits you as hard as it would have on the day it was recorded," says Giles.
This is the first time Abbey Road has been remixed and released with additional session recordings and demos. It follows similar 50th anniversary reissues for Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and The Beatles(White Album).
In his written foreword for Abbey Road's anniversary packages,Paul McCartney writes, "The Beatles recording journey had gone through many twists and turns, learning curves and thrilling rides. Here we were – still wondering at the magic of it all."
Abbey Road's Super Deluxe box contains 40 tracks – including "The Long One" Trial Edit & Mix for the album's epic Side 2 medley – on three CDs (stereo) and one Blu-ray disc. Each disc comes in a slip-sleeved 12-by-12-inch 100-page hardbound book, which contains essays, rare and previously unpublished photos, including many taken by Linda McCartney; never before published images of handwritten lyrics, sketches, and a George Martin score; Beatles correspondence, recording sheets, and tape boxes; and reproduced original print ads.
There is also a vinyl box set, a deluxe 2-CD set, and a single CD and single vinyl disc with the new stereo mix.
Released on September 26th, 1969 in the U.K. and October 1st in the U.S.,Abbey Road held the number-one spot on the U.K. album chart for 17 weeks, and the Billboard chart for 11.
It was inducted into the Recording Academy's Grammy Hall of Fame in 1995.

It's not easy being a teenage girl now-a-days. The teenage years can be some of the most challenging for a young person as they are trying to find themselves and how they fit in with the rest of the world. With a world full of mean girls, reality television, and fashion magazines full of photo editing, girls can easily fall prey to low self-esteem. The popularity of the internet, social media, and sites like Instagram further contribute and promote the #Selfie culture, with many young girls and women willing to bare it all just to see how many "likes" and "followers" they can amass. As if, these numbers somehow validate their beauty, worth, their existence even. This obsession can be distracting and can lead young girls down the wrong path looking to celebrities and reality TV personalities for cues on how to look, speak, and act.
As a very active user of Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter it can be a very lonely and scary place to be if you're not confident and sure of who you are. Social media has made it very easy for someone to become a target of bullying leaving oneself open to criticism and ridicule by people who have no clue of who you really are. As a mother of a little girl and aunt to two pre-teen girls I worry about the images they are exposed to. I worry that they will allow this fixation with Instagram and the media to influence how they see themselves and place value on the wrong things. One of my responsibilities as a mother, aunt, and self proclaimed #FIERCEWoman is to make sure that I raise #FIERCEGirls and cultivate the same values in other young ladies.
I believe that the key to creating F.I.E.R.C.E Women is to create F.I.E.R.C.E Girls. By engaging our young girls between the ages of 12-19 in discussions about positive body image, self-esteem, dreams, goals, and how to accomplish them we begin to expose them to the qualities and traits that The F.I.E.R.C.E Woman embodies. These include self-confidence, kindness, empathy, strength, humility, gratitude, and a responsibility to give back to our communities. We as parents, guardians, and role models have to give our young girls other images to aspire to. We have to be the models they look to for their cues as young women. We have to exhibit the qualities we want them to embody.
They may not always see positive images online and so we have to be the messengers of the types of messages we want them to see, learn, and adopt.
Vision Board Workshop – vision boards have proven to be a useful tool to help clarify, concentrate, and maintain focus on a specific life goal. We will teach the teens to identify their vision for the upcoming school year. We will help make their vision clear, specific, and set realistic time frames. We will teach them how to reinforce their vision through the use of daily affirmations and to use the vision board to help keep their attention on their intentions.
Skin Care and Make-Up presentation – A professional make-up artist will talk to the girls about proper skin care, offer make-up tips and product recommendations that are suitable and appropriate for their age group.
The event proved to be a success with over 40 attendees. Despite starting a little bit behind schedule the event was everything I hoped it would be. It allowed these young women to come together, network, and be inspired.
Our 18 yr old guest speaker & 2015 FIERCE Girl of the Year, Miczjhane Clay spoke to the girls about the importance of planning ahead and setting goals. She spoke to them about how she started her fashion design company, Destined Designs and how her grandmother was the inspiration behind the name of the company. Destined Designs is founded upon knowing your self worth & embracing it through your sense of style. Micznhane's mission is to design clothes that make women feel beautiful whenever they were them.
As I walked around the room and spoke to some of the mothers and young ladies in attendance they thanked me for putting the event together and stressed the importance of building up our young girls and speaking success into them. We have to take an active role in the success of the young women we are raising .Together, we can take over the world. That's how you raise FIERCE Women.
Don't forget to follow The Fierce Woman™ on Facebook to stay updated on all future events and workshops.
