Mrs. Barth: This is my 18th year of teaching. This is my 13th year at the Stratton School! I have also taught first and second grade; but I just adore teaching grade 3! Third grade was my favorite year in school and I hope you enjoy it just as much as I did! My favorite curriculum units are; Colonial Times, Multiplication, Literature Circles, and the Planets. I love cheering on the Red Sox with my family! We love playing sports in our backyard and reading together each day!
Mrs. Lees: I have been teaching in Arlington since 2002. This is my fifth year teaching third grade at Stratton. Before that, I taught fourth grade here for a couple years. Since earning my certification in the mid 90s, I have taught sixth, fifth, fourth, and third grade, as well as middle school English. I love teaching third grade, it's the BEST! My husband Eric and I have three children, 14, 11, and 4. Aidan is starting at AHS this fall, Daisy is starting at OMS, and William is in his last year of pre school.

Partial dentures represent one of the most efficient solutions for tooth loss, which can be extremely frustrating and embarrassing. Partial dentures are designed to help or prevent TMJ issues, make it possible to eat normally and improve your overall appearance. Partial dentures are available in different types to suit each patient's individual oral health needs. Only an experienced dentist can determine which type is best for you after tests and thorough examinations. Depending on the type, partial dentures are made of acrylic, metal and plastic.
Depending on the means by which they can be attached in the mouth, partial dentures can be divided into three types: precision, semi-precision and conventional dentures. Each type of partial dentures has its pros and cons. Conventional dentures are kept in place by clasps while precision and semi-precision are attached with mechanical interlocking components. The downside to conventional dentures is that clasps may become visible thus compromising your appearance. Precision and semi-precision dentures are not only more expensive but also more difficult to adjust and fabricate. Patients may need to have some of the components replaced periodically. However, they also offer improved comfort, fit and aesthetics. If you're in need of partial dentures make sure you discuss it with your dentist prior to making any decision.

NEW PARTNERSHIP TO ENCOURAGE MORE RIGOROUS COURSE SELECTION AMONG HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
Vol. 2 No. 16
Appearing at a high school in Little Rock, Ark., President Bush and U.S. Secretary of Education Rod Paige announced a new partnership in five states to encourage students to take more rigorous courses in an effort to prepare them for postsecondary education and work. The State Scholars Program is a partnership between the business community and educators that challenges students to complete courses of study beyond the minimum requirements for high school graduation. The program also targets students from disadvantaged backgrounds who are less likely to qualify for college admission or to enroll in college by the fall following high school graduation.
Business plays a vital role in the program by working directly with students to reinforce the value of the Scholars Course of Study. Local businesses help schools promote the program and help provide scholarships and other rewards for those completing the program. The Scholars Core Academic Course of Study includes at least four years of English, three years of math (algebra I and II and geometry), three years of lab science (biology, chemistry and physics), three and a half years of social studies and two years of a foreign language.
The program is designed to reduce the number of college freshman who need to take remedial courses. Currently that number accounts for nearly half (49 percent) of all college freshmen. More than 20 percent of four-year college students and 40 percent of two-year college students drop out after their freshman year-many because they are unprepared academically.
The U.S. Department of Education will award a grant to the Center for State Scholars, based in Austin, Texas. The center will partner with the Business Roundtable and other business organizations to select states that want to increase the level of rigor to prepare students for the new economy. Four other states in addition to Arkansas will be chosen by Oct. 15. Up to $2.4 million is available to help implement this program.

I've written about this on Demozoo Slack channel but it makes sense to have a forum entry to follow this.
I've tried to locate all the entries that were made in the Blacktron Music Compo 1998. From what I can see from their old website (at archive.org), there are more than 500 (!) entries , split in 6 categories. Unfortunately, the archive.org image doesn't store the entries themselves, as they were stored on an outside FTP site (ftp://skynet.stack.nl/pub/demos/bmpcompo2/). Said ftp site was note archived it seems.
We were sent the following email today. So, here it is. Note that AMP team has nothing to do with this and any question/request should therefore be addressed to the author.
Android version of my app is able to browse Amiga Music Preservation collection online (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.zxtune). I've made two oneliners with GooglePlay link and many people was happy to know about ZXTune according to thanksgiving reviews:) But regular oneliner posting looks like a spam, so I prefer to ask you directly- can you add app link to information page on your site?
Android version is just a player, but desktop version has a quite powerful ripping possibilities.
Long time I didn't post about uploads.
All right guys, there's some PC production I've been storing at home for later ripping (if possible). At the time I stored them, I tried to rip the music but failed for whatever reason, or simply didn't take the time to handle them.
I'll update when needed depending on feedback. I'll add more also in time.
20140815 : all GDM converted back to S3M are in today's additions. Look for Bishop's musics in the list.
Rogue/Overflow contacted us and managed to dig up quite a few musics by himself and fellow group members.
All the in today's addition.

The X Factor is the best talent show ever with the biggest production. The staging makes American Idol look silly and childish. I watched the finals through a link on the internet on Sunday afternoon. I was not only impressed but I was overwhelmed by the production and the staging. From the lights, to the glitz that was on the show, it really exposes the contestants to what the world of stardom and having a house screaming at you offers. Talk about nerves! So there were two guys in the finals this year. They were Olly and Joe and boy did they rock it. They are two different artistes with two different ranges. The moment I heard Joe McElderry sang the first note I tweeted that his voice was simply magnificent, young and fresh. Enjoy his winning song, titled The Climb and it is inspiring.
This was by far the worst production of Miss World in years and I was not impressed. I could have missed the show and wouldn't have felt bad about it. I did not like the fact that the girls were entertaining the crowd. Come on, use established names and singers to do that. The girls have enough nerves dealing with just coming on stage. The production had the best talents on show – although we might think that's cool – it is tacky. I liked the ending so much it was like bringing the old version of Miss World back and it worked. The ending was simply the best part for me. I did not like all the drumming by the South Africans but guess what if that is your culture, show it off. I would have liked more diversity in the offering.
This next video is simply breath taking. Expect the unexpected. The video surrounds Paddy Jones who is 75 years old and still can deliver a performance that rivals the winner of Dancing with the Stars and all the other talent competitions around the place. I wish this old lady all the best. You will expect bones to break at her age but she makes it look easy, although it is not.
I downloaded the Blackberry WordPress App. I find it to be very user friendly. I have gotten the full hang of it yet but I intend to use it to post new topics on my blog.
This is really refreshing since I am having a bad day at work.lol Thanks WordPress for delivering on this App. Love it.
You know my blog is about advancement of the human race. Technology changing our lives daily. What's next?
I enjoy the finer things in life, can I say fabulous. I enjoy these things because I appreciate the concept of marketing. Marketing is integral to every business and any entity, person, thing that can incorporate basic marketing concepts will be successful. I studied marketing in university and this is an area that I am passionate about but it's an area that is highly underestimated by so many.
Every product you see out there needs management. Most managers who manage them are called Brand Managers. The role of these managers is simply to apply the concepts of marketing, to increase the product's perceived value to the customer, brand equity and most of all to remain profitable.
This form of management is not only relevant to products it transcends in all areas. More than ever entertainers are using marketing to build an image for their market and to improve on the appeal they have. I am passionate about this area simply because when the concepts are applied it works miraculously.
I appreciate artistes like Beyonce because her management clearly understands that she is a brand and everything her management does is in line with this. I am not a great fan of the music but you cannot ignore the powerhouse that she is. From the clothing, to the performance, to her persona and image on stage everything must be right. Entertainers who grasp this will always be successful knowing that they produce creative, great music. The music industry is a challenging one with so many players in it. The challenge to top performances and create music that people will listen to is understandably remarkable. If you look at Beyonce's performance each time, everything is done live, with amazing lighting, back-up dancers, singers, clothing. Everything ties in to create the person we know today as Beyonce.
I live in a developing island, Jamaica and this is the birth place of reggae and dancehall music. Some artistes here understand marketing. Sean Paul and Beenie Man are just two that understands what it is to have that full package. If artistes here understand the power of having an image of quality, and ensuring the music has quality and is current, they can be huge stars. They may not be a MJ, U2 but they will have a following that will always plummet them to huge successes in the music industry. You may say funding and having the money is important. This is critical but this is not a limitation because entertainers today more than ever are making it. Therefore, put in the investment and you will see the returns. The world will be at your fingertips.
D'angel image forms part of this blog because I think she is the only current dancehall artistes who shows she is understanding the concept of marketing. She is featured on many shows locally and internally. Kudos to her. Keep up the good work. She will tell you she has not reached where she wants to go but clearly if she keeps focus on her image and production of quality music the sky is the limit.
The Quest to find love?
If you live in the world (which we all do), we are bombarded with advertisements surrounding the topic of finding love. Nowadays, people search in various places to find love. More than ever individuals are going online to search for the perfect one. Whether it is on e-harmony or match or MySpace we are desperate for the ultimate one. But how far would you go to find perfect love?
Reality television has highlighted the fact that people go on quests to find the real one and have created these amazing shows some incredible some fall flat but the main aim is to highlight the extreme levels of finding love.
Recently, I saw a promo for a new program showing fabulous plus size girls seeking love. What was interesting is that the person I was watching television was grossed out because the person didn't want to see fluffy girls seek love in this format on television. I made the point quickly that obese girls need love too. What made it unique was traditionally we only see slim, size zero girls on these reality shows seeking love. It makes it very weird for some people now seeing plus size girls on their quest on main stream media.
Would you go in a dark room to find love? Would you join a dating site to find love?
A new program to hit the ABC network will have couples move in a house and the dating process would all take place in the dark. However, what happens in the dark would be revealed in the light as the couples would see each other for the first time. Some would be grossed out; I guess the others would like what they see.
I like the fact that people are getting out there to find love. I like the fact that we are finding unique ways to do so. Traditionally, people date by being introduced to friends and date by networking in your own circle. Things and times are changing and people are getting with it. It is no longer weird to date in a dark room, on the job, on the internet or even speed dating. Finding love is now the focus of most people. Individuals want to share their lives with someone special and unique.
To find that unique person, how far would you go? Is finding love on the internet weird for you or we all have come to accept this form of dating?
I have written many Michael Jackson articles, I hope my readers will not get weary. I keep writing about him or referring to him because he did a lot for many people and he touched many lives as well. Most persons only know of the various accusations against him. I wanted to write an article about people giving back and what better man to refer to than the Entertainer of all time, the king of pop – who gave back to so many charities worldwide – Michael Jackson.
The Guinness Book of World Records in the 2000 edition listed Michael Jackson as having the record for supporting the most charities – all of 39. These donations have come in the form of monetary donations through sponsorships or by participating in their silent auctions. Below is a list of all the charities that benefited from Michael Jackson.
This is a man who could have squandered his earnings on women or the many other things that were around him but he found the time and heart to donate part of his earnings to the various charities worldwide. Even on his will part of his earnings will go to the work to keep doing good in our communities. How many people do we know that when they die stipulate in their wills that charities should benefit from their lives? This is what some people refer to as having a 'good heart'.
This giving is even emphasized by companies; they dub it 'Social Responsibility'. The many companies who keep giving back must be congratulated for it. It is so ironic that companies who give back to communities always want a huge media following to report on the little good they do. It is all a stunt. Companies who give to charities in silence are the real heroes of our time. I hate to see when businesses fail to sponsor events, failing to see the benefits they can gain long term.
Michael Jackson's song Man in the Mirror is an amazing song that underlines this point of starting with the man in the mirror, me. The song invites listeners to analyze themselves asking 'Who am I to be blind?' to today's problems.
We are all one people. Oops! Some people see the world differently, some people see races and classes but we are all one. Some persons cannot give cash, or items but if we cannot afford that we can share love to those who need it.
Companies who make billions and millions of profits annually all celebrate and watch as people beg a little bit more, while the poverty level continues to rise. We have a responsibility to the world and the environment. Michael Jackson who some may only know him to abuse drugs in his death will be remembered as man who gave willingly to the less fortunate. He looked on the man in the mirror and made that change. So as we move on with our lives and join companies and even start our own, remember the lyrics of one of my favourite MJ Hits – Man in the Mirror.
Below is a video I found on http://www.youtube.com with the co-writer of the song Man in the Mirror Siedah Garrett giving a tribute to Michael Jackson. Take a listen….The song is touching as she reflects on the life of Michael Jackson.
I had to include this other video, the original, nothing hits home better.


The Community Quilt Project began on September 9, 2009 with a quilt for the blogger known as othniel. Othniel was gravely ill and was due to have a surgery he feared he might not survive. To help him, Sara Reed had an inspiration came to make a quilt for him bearing messages of love and support from his internet community, written in archival ink on muslin.
The messages were gathered in a post on the blog, Street Prophets and othniel found them while surfing the internet from his hospital bed. Those loving words were in his mind when he went into surgery. The quilt was completed quickly and thereafter, othniel would not enter a hospital without it. More than three years later, after surviving a number of subsequent illnesses, othniel at last succumbed to a virulent respiratory infection. His community quilt held a place of honor at his memorial service and is now a treasured memento for his longtime partner, caregiver, and love of his life, austex54.
Thus began a series of quilts, all based on the love and support to be found in friendship on the internet, often among people who have never met in person. Sara Reed and her sister, Ann Reed, have made quilts for people with cancer, life-threatening infections, AIDS, kidney failure, traumatic injury, heart problems and also for their caregivers The quilts are a tangible reminder that the connections between us all are very real and that our words have greater power for good than we realize.

Atlantic Division Weekly: Bad News Bruins
The Bruins will not play their next two games.

Brian Fluharty-USA TODAY Sports
Remember that time the San Jose Sharks had all those players and their head coach on COVID Protocol? Well, maybe they didn't have it so bad after all. The Boston Bruins will have their next two games postponed due to the growing number of COVID-19 cases among both their camp and that of the Boston Celtics, with whom they share an arena. Yikes, that's rough! Definitely the struggle of the week in the Atlantic Division.
Boston Bruins (14-10-2)
The impact of players like Patrice Bergeron and Brad Marchand being on COVID Protocol hit the Bruins hard this week. They started out strong with a 4-2 victory over the Calgary Flames on Saturday. Marchand got on the board, as did Connor Clifton, Curtis Lazar and Charlie McAvoy.
Things promptly went downhill from there. On Tuesday, they lost 4-1 to the Vegas Golden Knights, unfortunately. The lone goal was scored by Bergeron. This was the last game Bergeron and Marchand played with their team before they were sent to Protocol.
The next game of the week was a 3-1 loss to the New York Islanders on Thursday. As of now, it is unclear when the B's will hit the ice again. The team's upcoming games against the Ottawa Senators and the Carolina Hurricanes have been postponed.

Buffalo Sabres (10-15-5)
The first game of the week for the Sabres ended in a shootout. Though it was hard-fought, the Sabres fell short to the Washington Capitals 3-2, on the second night of a back-to-back at home. They bounced back quickly, however, hitting the road beating the Winnipeg Jets 4-2 on Tuesday. Rasmus Dahlin found the net twice, with the other girls scored by Anders Bjork and Jeff Skinner.
The Sabres got a second shot at a shootout in their next game against the Minnesota Wild on Thursday. Finally, they were on the opposite side of that 3-2 score, beating the Wild in the shootout. The Sabres wrapped up the week with another back-to-back, against the Pittsburgh Penguins, losing 3-2 in overtime.

Detroit Red Wings (14-13-3)
The Red Wings only played two games this week. The first was a 2-1 home victory over the Islanders on Tuesday. Dylan Larkin and Michael Rasmussen found the net while Alex Nedeljkovic made 33 saves between the pipes. The second match of the week ended in a loss, traveling to Carolina to lose 5-3 to the Hurricanes. Larkin and Tyler Bertuzzi scored, but their team failed to help them out from there.
Detroit has fallen in the standings and their schedule isn't helping — the team is bouncing between road and home games all month, with no more than two home games in a row until January.

Florida Panthers (18-7-4)
I could not be more upset as I let you know that the Panthers have slipped out of first place. Now in third, they lost every game this week. It started with a 3-2 loss to the Colorado Avalanche in Denver on Sunday. Joe Thornton scored a goal, so we can celebrate that, especially because he broke an NHL record. He now has the 12th most points in the history of the league!
Things continued downhill fast as the team returned home to lose 8-2 to the Senators somehow. I am just as surprised as you are. Spencer Knight was between the pipes and made an impressive 30 saves, but somehow still allowed eight goals. The week (and homestand) finished off with a 4-1 loss to the Los Angeles Kings on Thursday. They had one job and they let us down.

Montreal Canadiens (7-21-3)
The Canadiens started off their week with two losses. Are we surprised? No. It started out with a 4-1 loss to the St. Louis Blues on Saturday, followed by 5-2 loss to the Penguins on Tuesday. It's not easy being the Habs this season.
However, the team came home and picked themselves up to win in a shootout against the Philadelphia Flyers. The 3-2 victory on Thursday saw goals from Laurent Dauphin, Artturi Lehkonen and Jonathan Drouin, who was the only scorer in the shootout. And to answer your burning question, no, Martin Jones was not in net for the Flyers.

Ottawa Senators (9-17-1)
I can't believe I am telling you all this, but the Ottawa Senators had a good week. It started with a 4-0 home win over the first-place Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday. Brady Tkachuk netted a hat trick, while the fourth goal was scored by none other than Josh Norris. The Sens kept the momentum going by beating the Panthers 8-2 on Tuesday. No, Chris Tierney did not score any of those goals. He didn't even have an assist. Bummer!
Finally, the week ended with a loss, falling 2-1 in a rematch against the Lightning on Thursday. Thomas Chabot scored the lone Ottawa goal, while Anton Forsberg made 25 saves between the pipes.

Tampa Bay Lightning (19-6-4)
The reigning Stanley Cup Champions might be sitting at first place in the division, but the team had a mediocre-at-best week, starting with a 4-0 loss to the Senators.
The team traveled back to Tampa and got back in the win column with a 3-2 overtime victory over the Kings on Tuesday. The Senators came to visit Amalie Arena and this time, the Bolts pulled out a 2-1 victory, with goals from Victor Hedman and Alex Killorn.

Toronto Maple Leafs (20-8-2)
The Maple Leafs only played two games this week and won both of them. It started with a 5-4 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks at home on Saturday. Netminder Petr Mrazek made 31 saves between the pipes, while goals were scored by William Nylander, Auston Matthews, John Tavares, Pierre Engvall and David Kampf.
Toronto decided they liked scoring 5 goals in a game and did it again when they visited the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday. The Leafs won 5-1 with goals from Morgan Rielly, T.J. Brodie, Wayne Simmonds and a pair from Matthews.
The team's next three games have been postponed.

Everyday Exceptionalist 007: Matthew Robertson
Matthew Robertson
As an explorer and outdoorsman, Matthew makes everyday exceptional by sharing his love and appreciation of nature with anyone searching for the peace or adventure it provides; teaching that the simple pleasures create the most wonderful memories. He founded Momentum Life to spread that message and help others access those same experiences.
When did you fall in love with what you do and how did you get started?
The wilderness is all I've ever known. I would look out the window at school and wonder what was beyond the hills. I'm not a conformist and the confines of the classroom made my soul grey. I felt an uncontrollable urge to explore, so I would just run away from school for days and chase the horizon looking for adventure. Much to the torment of family! So I guess I didn't have a choice, the outdoors chose me and it's all I want to do till my last breath.
As for how I got started, long story short, it wasn't until my 30's that I found the outdoors could be a job…I found myself in the Himalayas looking at the biggest mountain range on earth. I was spellbound by the majesty of the place and knew from that moment, all I wanted was to share that feeling and bring people joy through the power of the outdoors. That was the day Momentum was born.
What was your earliest childhood ambition?
As a child I was always looking up at the stars, fascinated by what lay beyond the confines of our planet. I guess as a child I wanted to explore what I didn't really understand and space was a place of wonder and intrigue. Being an astronaut sounded like the ultimate adventure. That dream has now evolved into exploring our planet. I'm the happiest I've ever been and incredibly grateful. I get to do what I truly love every day.
Who was or still is your mentor?
An amazing man called Mark Diggins, he's one of the most prolific mountain guides in the world. He taught me how to be safe, to guide and be kind to our planet. To this day he fascinates me with his teachings and always has incredible words of wisdom. He gave me the courage to follow my dream, to be humble and calm in the mountains. He's also Godfather to my son. I hope his wisdom flows into my son and enables him to have the courage to follow his dream, whatever that may be.
What difference are you striving to make in the world?
Firstly, to be kind to our planet, it's the only one we've got.
Secondly, I feel we as humans have become lost, always chasing the next thing, believing we will be happy tomorrow. We always want more money, a better home, more, more more…I feel we need dial back and go backwards to move forwards. No one said on their death bed said, 'I wish I'd made more money'. They say, I wish I travelled more and spent more time with loved ones. So my contribution is to create experiences that create memories. To me, that's a gift that lasts a lifetime.
What drives you on?
My children and the unknown, I have a thirst for knowledge, it's what drives me to keep exploring and evolving.
What career advice would you give your 16yr old self?
Never, ever, give up. Try to find a balance in life. Always look up and be kind.
What's on the cards professionally and personally in the next 12 months?
With a world in turmoil, it's a tricky question. Right now we are focusing on creating incredible outdoor content to inspire people to explore and get outside. It seems to be working, so myself and the team are highly motivated to keep that goodness flowing.
What secret ambitions do you still have?
To stay happy and healthy, so I can show my children the world and create lasting memories together. I would also like to ride my motorbike around the world.
If there was one-piece advice you could give to people aspiring to do what you do, what would it be?
Take chances, be brave, don't take no for an answer and follow your dream.
What is the greatest challenge of our time?
Our planet! It seems we do nothing but take from it and rarely give back. But it's the only one we've got, we must be mindful of that.
Mental health, we live in a world that is always 'on'. Sometimes just like a computer we stop working. By shutting down, rebooting, we can readdress the balance and start functioning again. The outdoors is free, feels great and is so good for the soul.

A sensitive enantioselective liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS) assay using a manual solid-phase extraction (SPE) procedure, a non-deuterated internal standard and an ion trap LC–MS was developed to measure (R)- and (S)-albuterol in plasma. Sample extraction from plasma was achieved by a manual SPE extraction procedure with methoxyphenamine added as the internal standard. Chiral separation was achieved using a teicoplanin-based stationary phase and a mobile phase consisting of methanol, acetic acid and 28% (w/v) ammonia (1000:5:1, v/v/v). Samples were analyzed by selected reaction monitoring of product ions from the protonated molecular ions. The detection limit of the assay was 0.1 ng/ml with a conservative lower limit of quantification of 0.25 ng/ml for each enantiomer. Recovery of albuterol enantiomers from plasma spiked at 10 ng/ml of racemate was determined to be 89±5.8% (mean±S.D.). Reproducibility at 10 ng/ml of racemate assessed by the coefficient of variation was found to be 6.5% (n=5). Instrument precision (measured as coefficient of variation) was 1.4% (n=5). The correlation coefficient r2 determined from the calibration curve over the range 0.5–50.0 ng/ml racemate in plasma was 0.998. This assay allows adequate sensitivity, recovery and reproducibility for the application to studies of inhaled albuterol.

HILO — Boat captains were united in their comments at a Thursday evening public hearing on a state proposal to raise docking and mooring fees — What are we paying for already?
A group of about 20 people applauded and nodded their heads as speaker after speaker went to the microphone to describe deteriorating ramps and docks, vandalism, drug use and theft and a lack of amenities such as electricity and water. They've been paying dock fees for decades, several said, and they've seen little to no upkeep.
Testifiers said boat owners at Big Island harbors have paid substantially out of their own pockets for such amenities as establishing electric hookups and making moorings compliant with Army Corps of Engineers regulations.
It's been almost 25 years since the state last increased fees for utilities and facilities at state small boat harbors and almost seven years for mooring fees. The proposal is an effort by the Department of Land and Natural Resources Division of Boating and Ocean Recreation to align small boat harbor and boating facility fees to reflect current market rates.
But market rate fees should translate into market rate amenities, several testifiers said. Some asked that fees be raised incrementally, rather than making up for years in a single year.
Local officers for DOBOR were on hand at the meeting, but as is common at a public hearing, simply listened to the comments but didn't address concerns or answer questions.
The public has until March 15 to submit comment. Comments can be submitted by email to dlnr.harreview@hawaii.gov. Please include "Title 13, Section # (i.e. 13-230), HAR" in the subject line, by fax to (808) 587-1977, Attn: Title 13, Section # (such as 13-234), HAR or by mail to the Division of Boating and Ocean Recreation, 4 Sand Island Access Road, Honolulu, Hawaii 96819. Attn: Title 13, Section # (i.e. 13-256), HAR.

Mitákuye Oyás'iŋ ("All Are Related"): White Buffalo Calf Woman
Christopher Buck , Kevin Locke | Jun 4, 2022
PART 100 IN SERIES Indigenous Messengers of God
Have you ever heard the Lakota expression "Mitakuye oyasin"? It means "All my relations," and has become a widely-used phrase by people of many backgrounds and ethnicities.
In this installment of our continuing series of articles on the Indigenous messengers of God, Kevin and Chris look into its origins and explain its mystical meanings.
Q: Kevin, this morning, a Baha'i friend, William J. Martin, Jr., a naturopathic doctor, ended his email message to me with the salutation "Mitakuye oyasin." He earlier wrote: "My mother's side, which is the Cree, came from Quebec in the area of Trois rivieres/Cap du la Madeleine. Including a couple of photos from my original catechism in the Cree language."
RELATED: Encouraging Indigenous Land and Spiritual Acknowledgements
He also attached four scans of a book entitled The First Catechism of Christian Instruction in the Cree Language. This is just one example of the widespread use, by Indigenous people and others across North America, of the salutation, Mitákuye Oyás'iŋ – which I understand means "All are related," or literally, "All my relations"). Although Doc Martin is of Cree ancestry and heritage, isn't "Mitákuye Oyás'iŋ" actually a spiritual teaching from the Lakota Indigenous holy messenger White Buffalo Calf Woman?
A: Yes, according to Lakota sacred tradition, this is a formulaic prayer attributed to White Buffalo Calf Woman.
Q: For the benefit of our readers (myself included), how is "Mitákuye Oyás'iŋ" pronounced?
A: Since English does not have a phonemically consistent orthography, and there are two phonemes in this brief phrase that do not occur in English, I would have no idea how convey this outside of SLO (Standard Lakota Orthography). In other words, it's pretty hard to properly pronounce for English speakers.
Q: In Part 57 of this series, I asked if the teachings of White Buffalo Calf Woman were being universalized in a kind of "pan-Indigenous" way. Would you like to comment further on how "Mitákuye Oyás'iŋ" has practically become "pan-Indigenous" today? I ask you this, partly because hereditary chief and Baha'i Phil Lane told me that this teaching of White Buffalo Calf Woman is now embraced by many Indigenous peoples, which is a example of the pervasive influence of White Buffalo Calf Woman not only in popular culture, but among Indigenous peoples themselves.
A: Yes, it is fascinating that Lakota ways have become so universalized and incorporated into the pan-Indian movement. There are many possible reasons for this:
The highly organized and temporarily successful Lakota resistance to Euro-American material culture.
The high Lakota participation in the widely toured and very popular Wild West shows – Buffalo Bill being the most notable impresario proponent.
The circa 1960 "discovery" of the classic: Black Elk Speaks.
The tendency of Lakota traditionalists toward syncretism and subsequent openness and willingness to share with non-Lakota peoples.
These — and many other factors — have created a relatively broad consciousness of Lakota ways that may somewhat obscure other lesser known Indigenous ways.
Q: Kevin, is it true that "All are related" refers not only to people, but to all of nature as well? If so, is environmental stewardship one of the implications of White Buffalo Calf Woman's profound, all-embracing, and unifying teaching — an ethic and social principle that also serves as a moral imperative, going forward?
A: Since "mitákuye oyás'iŋ" is purportedly a quote from White Buffalo Calf Woman, my understanding is that through her person and holy teachings and our strict adherence to them, we become a part of God's universal connectivity. Like all the messengers of God, her appearance has sanctified all that is — and our belief in her connects us to all creation and the Creator of all. All the Divine revelators established this exact same connectivity, but somehow many of their followers created a false dichotomy between humanity and the rest of creation. Humankind has received these Divine revelators on behalf of all of creation. Therefore we are responsible for understanding and nurturing this sacred trust.
Q: Kevin, as important as nature and the environment assuredly are, people are also important! Let's not forget about humanity, which is experiencing its own rising temperatures of climate change along with continuing civil wars, ethnic conflicts, religious antagonisms, social prejudice, structural economic injustice, health inequities, class divisions, and gender gaps. So what about the implications of Mitákuye Oyás'iŋ as it relates to the social environments, peoples, and nations around the world?
A: The phrase, "Mitákuye oyás'iŋ," is emblematic of White Buffalo Calf Woman's teachings, and is particularly meaningful in the Lakota/Dakota language, in that we have untranslatable words for the human soul that directly relate us to all of creation. I don't think that this view is unique, but simply a different perspective or interpretation of the Creative Word of God.
Q: So in your view, Kevin, how does Mitákuye Oyás'iŋ relate to the teachings of the Baha'i Faith?
A: In one sense, since this is reputed to be an utterance of White Buffalo Calf Woman, when one says this, one is affirming belief in her and her teachings which connect all to "Tȟuŋkášila" — the "Grandfather" — the One Who authorized all the Revelators to appear. To my understanding this "Grandfather" is the Creator.
Q: Yes, in your autobiography, Arising, you wrote:
Indigenous spirituality had given me a foundation through which to come into the [Baha'i] Faith. The traditional Lakota spiritual practices — the songs, the stories, the language — were still dear to me. The part that made little sense to me was that this spiritual way of life was only revealed to the people of a certain time, place, and culture. According to Lakota beliefs, the Grandfather had spoken directly to the Lakota, his grandchildren, through the White Buffalo Calf Maiden, and her prophetic teachings mentioned that she would return and that our people would be led to the great and heavenly road — the red road. When would her return occur? I had always wondered. Would her new revelation connect us to the world and the world to us?
RELATED: How Did Indigenous Americans Get There?
"Unto the cities of all nations He hath sent His Messengers," Baha'u'llah wrote … He then described Messengers of the prophetic cycle, who attracted the peoples of a certain time and place to the "Haven of abiding security," offered them laws and teachings, and prophesied to them about the return of a Promised One.
The Lakota, too, have awaited the return of Ptehíŋčala Ska Wiŋ, the White Buffalo Calf Maiden. Lakota sacred songs have told of Ptehíŋčala Ska Wiŋ, the White Buffalo Calf Maiden, and Tȟuŋkášila, the Grandfather. The White Buffalo Calf Maiden directed the people to pray to and invoke the Grandfather and shared that it was the Grandfather who authorized the Maiden to establish her Covenant.
I had come to understand that God had not forsaken us and had sent a great message through Baha'u'llah to connect the Lakota spiritual traditions with the other great world religions. The White Buffalo Calf Maiden is not directly mentioned in the Baha'i writings, as Abraham, Zoroaster, Buddha, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad are. The Baha'i writings further clarify that the names of some Prophets "seem to be lost in the mists of ancient history."
My growing understanding of Baha'i teachings did not undermine Lakota spiritual traditions. Rather, the Lakota ceremonial life and the practices I cherished so dearly were given new meaning, and I did not have to abandon my background but could appreciate the gems within it more fully.
For the first time, in the Baha'i Faith, I had direct and lucid answers to many of my questions. I sensed that my search for meaning — for the red road — was not over, however; it was beginning afresh every day.
As an echo, amplification, and universalization of this distinctive teaching of White Buffalo Calf Woman, "Mitákuye oyás'iŋ" Baha'u'llah proclaimed:
The utterance of God is a lamp, whose light is these words: Ye are the fruits of one tree, and the leaves of one branch. Deal ye one with another with the utmost love and harmony, with friendliness and fellowship. He Who is the Daystar of Truth beareth Me witness! So powerful is the light of unity that it can illuminate the whole earth. The One true God, He Who knoweth all things, Himself testifieth to the truth of these words.
Exert yourselves that ye may attain this transcendent and most sublime station, the station that can insure the protection and security of all mankind. This goal excelleth every other goal, and this aspiration is the monarch of all aspirations.

The 50-year-old steam plant at the Loma Linda University Health hospital needed a significant foundation upgrade to bring it up to current building codes and prepare for a pending transformer replacement. Much of the work for this OSHPD retrofit needed to be performed inside and immediately surrounding the operating steam plant. Tight site access and low headroom were major challenges. Malcolm utilized a versatile system of drilled shafts, design-build temporary shoring, various utility supports, and other foundation elements to accomplish the work.


…and another article that published this week. See, I am multi-tasking. I can't think of anything else to blog about. The writing side of my brain is worn out.
Having three girls ages nine, eight and four, It seems as if our house has a revolving door with endless children coming in and out of it. I grew up in a home that had six family members, but it was very similar in that we always had at least one extra person around. I loved it. I loved sharing my family with others, and I feel the same way today.
I have noticed that my girls' friends fall into two categories. One category of children is the independent, well-mannered, well-behaved child, and the other category is the dependant, bad-mannered, usually badly-behaved child.
When a six or seven year old friend enters my home and demands, "Make me a snack", or when they are going outside to play, "Get my shoes on me ", I know I am in for a long day. I don't enjoy correcting children when they don't say their please and thank-you's ". It is so much more enjoyable to have a child over who is respectful and courteous, helpful and kind.
While writing this article, I called one of my girls over to me and said, "What are some things you do to be a great house guest at your friends' house?" She said, "Well, if they have a garden, I would offer to help pull the weeds, and if they had a baby, I would offer to nurse the baby for them." I was so glad to know she was so eager to help!
Of course no child is perfect, but there are some general guidelines I have taught my children about being a good house guest.
1. You can never say "thank you" enough to your friends' parents.
2. Make yourself useful. Clear your own dishes and ask if you can help clear the table after a meal.
3. Obey the parents' wishes without complaining.
4. Be on your best behavior so your friends' parents will want you as a guest again.
5. Be responsible to pack up your own belongings when the play date is over.
6. Leave your friends' room nicer than it was when you came.
7. Compliment your friends' Mom or Dad on the wonderful meal they made for you.
8. Ask the parents how you can help them.
9. Be fair and kind to your friend.
10. Know your Mom and Dad's cell phone number and home phone number in case your friends' parents need to contact them.
I know this list seems basic. I cannot tell you how much it helps me have a great attitude about a play date if I know they will do most, or even just some of these things. These are the friends that I will let come over again and again with a happy and joyful heart. I would be even happier if they would weed my garden. If they tried to nurse my baby, I might need to talk to their parents.
Michelle I had the pleasure of meeting Whitney this weekend at the GCC second Saturday event. She came up to me and asked me if she could help me fold towels for the restrooms. At first I did not know who she was but things started to fall into place as she started to talk. I just wanted to let you know that she was not a bit shy knowing I was church family. She was a eager helper and a lovely child. You and Rob are certainly blessed.

Jeremy Corbyn has turned out to be just another Tony Blair
By Wee Ginger Dug @weegingerdug Columnist
Jeremy Corbyn is similar to Labour party hacks of previous generations like Tony Blair
JEREMY Corbyn's big promise was that he'd be different. He'd be special. He wasn't a money grasping Tory in Labour drag like the previous New Labour leadership. He had an allotment shed not a tax shelter. Jeremy was going to do all these things that the rank and file of the Labour party had always wanted, all those things like the abolition of the House of Lords, nationalisation of the railways, taxing the rich to pay to the poor, things that Labour promised its members and the voters when it was in opposition but which always seem to slip its mind as soon as it got a snifter of power.
Finally, after 100 years of broken promises, the glorious new dawn of British socialism was going to be delivered. It would come with a new leader riding on the back of a llama hand reared by a collective of indigenous Bolivian peasant women.
Back in 2015, during the leadership campaign for the Labour party, Jeremy Corbyn made the promise that party policy would be made by the membership and not by him. He forgot to add the rider, except when the party membership disagreed with him. It's very easy to pose as a leader who listens to the commonfolk when the commonfolk agree with you. It's not so easy when the membership want something that doesn't accord with Jeremy's route plan for the British Parliamentary road to socialism.
The party llama is spitting in Jeremy's eye, but he's whipping it along anyway. The Labour party leadership hasn't changed its ways. It's simply found a new way to lie.
Right now, the membership of the Labour party, and indeed many of the party's MPs, disagree with Jeremy about Brexit. A large majority of Labour voters and Labour members want another EU referendum, but the Labour leader is not for budging in his determination to find yet another obstacle to put in the way of allowing Labour members to determine his Brexit policy.
He's behaving exactly like all those Labour party hacks of previous political generations that he'd sworn to be different from. If the Labour leader has a spirit animal, it would be one of those old stuffed llamas in a museum. It hasn't displayed any movement or flexibility since the Bolshevik revolution. It's not that Jeremy is stubborn, it's just that he thinks his way is the only way.
Scotland's handful of Labour MPs have had the square root of hee-haw's influence on the party leadership. The shadow Scotland Secretary doesn't even have the public profile of one of the Z-listers who get voted out in the early rounds of Celebrity Big Brother. Ask the average person in Scotland who Lesley Laird is and you'll get a blank look in return and a shrug of the shoulders. This is the person who is supposedly representing Scotland's interests in the shadow cabinet.
I asked one relative who Lesley Laird was, and the reply was, "Isn't she that actress who played the snobby man-eating neighbour Dorien in Birds of a Feather?" That was Lesley Joseph. But Dorien would make a better job of standing up for Scotland. At least people know who she is.
The Labour party isn't representing the wishes of its members, and it's not representing the wishes of Scotland. The Labour party in Scotland has made less of an impact on the public mind than a defunct sitcom. Unlike the Labour party it was occasionally funny on purpose and its clownish behaviour was deliberate.
The Conservatives have never had the slightest interests in standing up for Scotland within the UK, notwithstanding the self-aggrandising claims of Ruth Davidson prior to the General Election. Those Tory MPs might have been elected as representatives of Ruth Davidson's Scottish Conservatives™, but they've proven to be indistinguishable from the mass of Tory MPs.
The notion that they'd vote as Ruth's proxies as a pro-Scotland bloc to defend Scotland's interests within the UK have proven as risible as just about anything that comes out of Ross Thomson's mouth whenever he's confronted with a reporter.
It was the Labour party that adopted the mantle of the party of devolution, and traditionally it was the Labour party to which much of the electorate in Scotland looked to provide a bulwark for Scotland against Tory depredations. It was the Labour party which was supposed to stand for Scotland within this so-called Union. However the Labour party has failed dismally to represent Scotland's interests in the Brexit process.
Scotland, like London, returned a strong remain majority in the EU referendum, but unlike London Scotland is a constituent member of this supposed Union, and unlike London Scotland had an independence referendum during which the Labour party told it that the only way to ensure it remained a part of the EU was to vote against independence. You'd think that would mean that the Labour party has a clear and binding moral obligation to strive for some sort of comprimise that at least met some of Scotland's objections to Brexit.
But Jeremy Corbyn doesn't think so. He's more interested in a Bolivian peasant collective than he is in what we're always being told is a member nation, a founding member no less, of this so-called United Kingdom.
The majority of Scotland's MPs are ignored and marginalised within the two party system which dominates Westminster, and neither of the two main UK parties has the slightest interest in acknowledging the special situation of Scotland within what they are always telling us is a family of nations.
Scotland is isolated, alone, unrepresented, and voiceless. We have less influence within the UK than any other nation which is already independent of the UK. This is the punching above our weight that we were told we could achieve if Scotland voted to reject independence in 2014.
Scotland has no means of influencing the course of events of Brexit, no means of defending Scotland from English nationalism. We have all of the disadvantages, but none of the advantages, of being outwith the Westminster system. There's only one other nation in these islands which has successfully ensured that its voice gets heard and its interests met during this Brexit mess, and that's the Republic of Ireland. Labour won't stand up for Scotland. Only an independent Scottish Government can.
Only an independent Scottish Government would have standing up for Scotland and representing Scotland's interests as its sole aim.

Fragrance as art: exhibitions to see this year
Fragrance as art was a concept often (if you'll pardon the pun) sniffed at, but it seems that scent – and our sense of smell – is gradually working its way into the public consciousness as a valid subject to be displayed and discussed.
From 2017's Perfume: A Sensory Journey Through Contemporary Scent exhibition in Somerset House, to their Polution Pods installation last year – London has been a part of the scented art scene (though how we long to see – and smell! – more), but 2019 sees two major new exhibitions you might have to hop on a plane for.
British designer Tim Simpson and Dutch designer Sarah van Gameren formed their London-based studio, Glithero, to produce installations that 'capture and present the beauty in the moment things are made,' and are excited to be part of a current fragrantly-themed exhibition in Switzerland, which runs until June…
Glithero say: 'We have designed the complete scenography for an exhibition about perfumery. The exhibition, 'Nez-à-Nez, Contemporary perfumers' at the Museum of Contemporary Design and Applied Arts in Lausanne (MUDAC) consists of 6 bespoke installations that we have designed over 6 rooms. Each room presents a different theme of tendency from the world of contemporary perfume making that have been identified by the curators in collaboration with the olfactory magazine Nez.
Mudac called upon us to create poetic and immersive installations displaying 39 fragrances from 13 of the best contemporary perfumers such as Jean-Claude Elena, Fabrice Pellegrin, Olivia Giacobetti, Dominique Ropion and Isabelle Doyen. Our challenge of this exhibition was to make the immateriality of the perfumes tangible within a museological context where the visual input is often given centre stage. We chose to present the fragrances in ways that surprise and intrigue the visitor but that don't colour in or adulterate the evocative impressions of the perfumes.
We're looking forward to show you the result of this adventure. See you there!'
Date: Friday 15 February – Sunday 16 June 2019
Location: Mudac, Musée de design et d'arts appliqués contemporains
Place de la Cathédrale 6, 1005 Lausanne, Switzerland
Opening hours: Tuesday to Sunday – 11.00 to 18.00 (Closed on Mondays)
Meanwhile, in Washington DC, The Givaudan Collection offers a rare opportunity to gaze at some of the most beautiful perfume bottles in history, as part of the Perfume & Seduction exhibition.
Givaudan say: 'It took the perfumer's skill and collector's passion of Leon Givaudan to assemble, in the years from 1924 to 1930, this unusually homogeneous collection of 18th Century toilet accessories. Composed of about a hundred items, manufactured from costly materials and lavishly decorated, the Givaudan collection is one of the most important of its kind in Europe: crystal perfume bottles set in gold mounts, bottles in fish scale and tortoiseshell for smelling salts, Vernis Martin étuis, enamelled vinaigrettes, bronze or ceramic bottle cases, patch boxes in ivory or mother-of-pearl.
To view the Givaudan collection is a rare treat for all those who value both the artistry that went into the making of these precious objects and the stories they tell about the history of perfumery and its place in our society.'
Hillwood Museum say: 'Perfume & Seduction will trace the form and function of perfume bottles, explore a variety of shapes and materials and the process of making perfume, and examine the evolution of forms during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, highlighting examples from Hillwood's collection.'
A section of 64 items from Givaudan's private collection will be showcased in 'Perfume & Seduction' at the Hillwood Museum in Washington DC, from February to June 2019.
If you can't make it to Switzerland or Washington before June and are pining for beautiful perfume bottles to look at, might we suggest a trip to the Dior: Designer of Dreams exhibition, currently at the V&A? We rather breathlessly reported from the press day of this fabulous show – of which the fragrance bottles play a small but vital part – and cannot urge you enough to go and see it for yourself, if you're able to get tickets.
In the meantime, might we also urge more galleries and museums to be brave enough to use fragrance and smell as part of their exhibitions and experiences? Smell remains the least scientifically and culturally explored of our senses, yet it has been proved to be the sense that links most directly – and emotionally – to the brain. Shows and installations that encompass all the senses and excite us beyond merely viewing, to being part of the exhibition ourselves, are definitely the way forward. And with this in mind, our magazine, The Scented Letter, will be decoting an entire issue to fragrance and culture later this year, so get ready to be olfactorily obsessed…
