Jeff Zentner's "The Serpent King"
Jeff Zentner lives in Nashville, Tennessee. He came to writing through music, starting his creative life as a guitarist and eventually becoming a songwriter. He's released five albums and appeared on recordings with Iggy Pop, Nick Cave, Warren Ellis, Thurston Moore, Debbie Harry, Mark Lanegan, and Lydia Lunch, among others.
Now he writes novels for young adults.
Here Zentner dreamcasts an adaptation of his new novel, The Serpent King:
Let me first say that even though I write young adult novels and am a huge lover of movies and TV shows, I'm a little out of touch when it comes to the young actors. You ask me to cast my main character off the top of my head? I'll come up with someone who was big when I was a young adult, but who is now currently in his fifties and has adult children.
I was very impressed with Ezra Miller in both Whip It and The Perks of Being a Wallflower, and I think he'd make a great Dill. And I had Mae Whitman in mind while writing Lydia. I think she's got the perfect look and attitude. Travis is more difficult. There are very few red-haired, 6'6", 250-pound teen actors out there. So I think he'd have to be an unknown.
For help with this, I turned to my friend, Lygia Day Peñaflor, who works with young actors and has a phenomenal debut, Unscripted Joss Byrd, also coming out in 2016. She cast The Serpent King thusly:
Dill- Zach Page
Lydia- Stefania Owen
Travis- Riley Griffiths
Those would all be fantastic picks too.
I can very easily tell you, though, right off the top of my head, who should direct a film adaptation of The Serpent King. Jeff Nichols. Hands down. Nichols did Mud and Shotgun Stories, two of my favorite movies of all time. He really understands the melancholy beauty of the rural South in a deep way and he's captured it in a manner I've never really seen anyone else accomplish.
Would I love to see a film adaptation of The Serpent King? Absolutely. I'm a huge fan of film in general and of book-to-film adaptations specifically.

Oh how I love it when I find an interest in a child that captures his attention for a long time and today was one of those fine days!
There is no resistance from the child.
The child is in his element of "play".
The child's heart is open and learning happens so much more effectively.
The teacher feels no frustration or need to force.
From our previous time at the park, I had noticed his curiosity in a shovel that another child was playing with in the sand. So, this time I decided to bring a hand shovel , some letters, and a container. I wondered if his curiosity with a shovel would be great enough to pull off this activity I had in mind.
To my excitement, it fully captured his attention. Yes!!! I began by asking him if he would like to bury the large assortment of letters that I had in a container. These letters consisted of a's, b's, and c's.
After the entire container was full of dirt, I mentioned to him that this container now contained treasures that needed to be discovered. I asked him if he would be willing to help me find all the neat treasures by digging them out. He was up for the task and began digging up each letter. I reinforced the letter sound as each treasure was found.
After he found each treasure, he placed them on the sidewalk. I decided to take his treasures and organize the letters for him. I thought this might help him recognize the difference between each letter. I do not know how much this helped him but he did seem to grasp the idea, when in the end, he placed a letter "a' in the "a" column that I had created.
After we found all of the letters, he wanted to repeat the activity over and over. It felt so good to find something that we could play with together and that would reinforce the sounds of each of these letters. We continued to bury and find treasures for ALMOST AN HOUR before he finally lost interest and wanted to move on to something else.
It was no surprise to me with what he wanted to do next with the letters. He wanted to throw the letters. 🙂 This was exactly what he had wanted to do the previous time we were at the park with the paper letter airplanes. I went with this next interest and made it a game similar to hide and seek.
He continued to play this type of game with me for a long time as well. It was so fun to see him so engaged with this activity as well. Through it, I was able to reinforce each letter sound so easily without any resistance. We finished up the day with eating lunch at the park. While he sat there, I decided to play a simple and quick game in my hand to test his retention for the day. Watch the video below to see how I did this.
It was definitely a great day playing with this amazing child.


It might seem odd to write about a home improvement project on what is supposed to be primarily a writing blog. This has consumed so much of my mental and physical energy the past two weeks, I really can't think of anything else. Besides, Mystery Thriller Week begins soon, and I'll be posting daily on nothing but writing topics. So here goes.
The carpet was iffy when we moved into this house over a decade ago. Time did not improve the situation. At long last, we began the project to replace carpet with wood floors.
My husband hired Hardwood Cafe in Colorado Springs. The project involved a long hallway, the dining room, upstairs living room, stairs, and refinishing the kitchen and landing.
We were able to have the existing wood floor in the kitchen sanded and refinished, and the rest of the floor woven in to match. This limited options on flooring materials, as we needed to match the variety of wood already in the house. Unbelievably, the entire floor looks like it was installed the same day. I can't see any difference between the kitchen and the rest of the upstairs.
I love how the existing wood floor is now lighter and more natural looking. We like the irregular look of the oak, with knots and color variations.
One more coat of protective sealant, and we're done. We'll be moving our furniture back in by this weekend. As I said a few posts ago, change is uncomfortable. Soon, all the inconvenience of not having the use of half our house for days will fade. I anticipate my allergies and asthma settling down in a few weeks, after all the dust is cleaned up.
The project has eaten into my writing time, but not as badly as I expected. I had to keep up with the day job, of course. I've been using whatever time and energy I have left to work on my many ambitious 2017 writing projects, leaving little for the mundane household chores that still require attention. I'll catch up on that stuff - later.
Below are a few before and after photos.


Though its body may appear it has thin threads encircling it, our Shasta Table Lamp is made of ceramic into which these striations have been carved. Though our design team could have treated the entire body of the lamp to this textural complexity, the aqua crackle surface was left untouched as the lamp rises toward the vanilla linen shade to create greater interest. Adding a bit of luminosity to the piece are the optic crystal base and finial.

RV News: June 2016
Carefree Communities Raises Funds For Veterans
The fifth annual Carefree's Got Talent competition finale raised $33,243 to support Disabled American Veterans (DAV). The March 29 event drew nearly 1,800 Carefree Community residents to the Lakeland Center in Lakeland, Florida.
In the past three years, Carefree Communities Inc. has worked with DAV to raise $100,000 in cash and in-kind donations for the organization, which provides support for military veterans and their families.
A few days before the competition, it was announced that Sun Communities Inc. had agreed on a $1.68 billion deal to acquire Carefree, owner of more than 100 RV parks and senior manufactured-home communities. According to reports, the deal is expected to close no later than July 9, 2016.
National Park Service Commemoratives
Limited-edition coins honoring the National Park Service centennial are available for purchase online at www.catalog.usmint.gov/coins/commemoratives. The coins also will be sold this year at participating park locations. Prices range from $20.95 for an uncirculated clad half dollar to $466.45 for a three-coin proof set that includes a $5 gold coin, a silver dollar, and a half dollar. Money raised from the sale of the coins will help support park programs.
In addition, the U.S. Postal Service will celebrate the park service's centennial by issuing 16 new Forever stamps featuring national parks. A first-day-of-issue ceremony is set for June 2 in New York City, and dedication ceremonies also will take place at or near each of the national parks depicted on the stamps.
Two RV Industry Figures Pass Away
Two people who made an impact on the RV industry died recently.
Allen "Al" Yoder Jr., the president of Jayco Inc. from 1985 until his retirement in 1993, died April 19, 2016. The Middlebury, Indiana, resident was 88.
Mr. Yoder chaired the board of directors of Recreation Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA) in 1989 and 1990. In 1986 he received RVIA's highest honor, the Distinguished Service to the RV Industry Award. He also received the RVIA Special Award in 1993.
Before joining Jayco in 1969, Mr. Yoder attended Bluffton College in Bluffton, Ohio, and farmed for a number of years. He became Jayco's president after cofounder and chief executive Lloyd Bontrager died in an airplane crash. Mr. Yoder also served on numerous boards of directors.
He was a founder of Deutsch Kase Haus, a cheese factory in Middlebury, Indiana, and served as its president for many years.
He is survived by his wife, Marie; four children; 13 grandchildren; six great-grandchildren; and a brother.
Dorthy "Dot" Scheide Corson, wife of Coachmen Industries Inc. cofounder Thomas H. Corson, died April 19, 2016. The Naples, Florida, resident was 88.
Mrs. Corson was known as the "first lady" of Coachmen. She worked alongside her husband and his two brothers in founding Coachmen Industries Inc. in 1964. She served on the RV company's board of directors for 27 years. During that time, she was a tireless company ambassador with its dealers, investors, and the community. Mrs. Corson also devoted herself to numerous charitable organizations.
The Corsons were married for 67 years. She is survived by her husband, Tom; two children; three grandchildren; and four great-grandchildren.
Charitable Fund Surpasses $1 Million In Giving
The Enander Family Foundation Fund, a legacy of Aqua-Hot Heating Systems founder Harold "Hap" Enander, recently topped the $1 million mark in giving. The foundation reached the milestone with a $5,000 grant to a small start-up ministry in Michigan.
Mr. Enander, who died in 2009, was a pioneer in hydronic heating. Aqua-Hot produces such systems for RVs, trucks, buses, and other vehicles. Mr. Enander transferred full ownership of the business to the Enander Family Foundation.
He and his wife, Sue, were committed to improving the lives of young adults through the fostering of their Christian beliefs and practices. His service to others included volunteer work in the local community and mission work in Haiti.

Forecast: Summer Gas Prices Will Remain Low
Drivers will pay an average of $2.04 per gallon for regular gasoline during summer 2016, according to a forecast from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). The forecast price for summer 2016, which covers the period from April through September, is 59 cents per gallon lower than the average price in summer 2015, and it would be the lowest average summer price since 2004. Monthly average gasoline prices are expected to increase to $2.08 per gallon in June 2016, and then fall to $1.93 per gallon in September 2016, according to EIA's Short-Term Energy and Summer Fuels Outlook.
Park Rx Day Touts Nature's Health Benefits
Many medical experts recognize that nature helps heal the human body by serving as an antidote to ailments that include obesity, heart disease, and depression. To encourage people to use parks to gain benefits from nature's healing properties, the first National Park Rx Day was held April 24, 2016, at 40 sites across the United States. The day, a part of National Park Week, included guided walks, yoga, wildlife tours, bike rides, and free public health screenings.
U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek H. Murthy, who attended a Park Rx Day in Washington, D.C., said an average of 22 minutes a day of physical activity, such as brisk walking in a park, can significantly reduce the risk of heart disease and diabetes.
The fifth annual Carefree's Got Talent competition finale raised $33,243 to support Disabled American Veterans (DAV).

Happymagenta has been putting out quality games on mobile for years now, and their latest has just hit the App Store today. It's called Hit the Light (Free) and it's a take on a brick breaker-style of game but with some interesting twists. Each level is an intricate picture made up of neon lights, and much like real neon lights there are many different pieces of lit tubing to create the various parts of the picture. Your job is to smash or disable all of those neon pieces, but unlike a traditional brick breaker you aren't batting a ball back into the field with a paddle. Instead you have a limited number of attack types that you can slingshot at the picture, and if you run out of them before you've completely destroyed the level you'll fail. The three main attack types are: A set of 3 balls that will bounce around like a typical brick breaker game, a ninja star that will cut through layers of neon lighting but doesn't bounce around as much as the balls, and a bomb that can be lobbed to blow up a tiny area of the playfield. If I'm doing a bad job of describing all of this, the Hit the Light trailer should make it more clear.


Collage artist Melinda Gibson transforms existing scenes into unique works of art via her signature cut-out style for her new project with mb! magazine and the A-Class in London. Blessed with a unique vision, Melinda Gibson shows places, spaces and scenes in a new light, revealing aspects unnoticed by the photographer or highlighting those that Gibson missed in the original.
Her prime source and basis: well-thumbed magazines, old prints or her personal image archive; choice elements that lend photographs by icons like Wolfgang Tillmans an entirely new aesthetic – that certain Gibson flair that reframes what's obvious, but not always visible. Exclusively for mb! the artist now takes a new leap of faith and her method one step further. All of the artworks gathered in the series do not rely on magazine finds or extended antiquing trips but instead break new ground with their artistic substrate.

Jiří Dokoupil Interview
Text Jane Szita
Tags Art , Art & Culture , Colour , Interview , Painting , Video
Artist Jiří Dokoupil has produced 398 soap-bubble paintings to date.
Jiří Georg Dokoupil was 14 in 1968, the year in which he and his family fled Communist Czechoslovakia and settled in West Germany. After studying art in Cologne and New York, he rose to fame with Cologne's influential neo-expressionist Mülheimer Freiheit group in the 1980s. Since then he has produced 137 series of paintings, encompassing a huge variety of experimental techniques. Among his most successful works are his soap-bubble paintings, a constant in his oeuvre for over 20 years, which evolved after he added soap to the liquid he used to clean his brushes.
How do you go about painting with soap bubbles?
Jiří Dokoupil: I use a metal wand to produce the bubbles, which I then draw over the canvas. The soap mixture contains pigment, so when the bubbles burst, they leave colourful traces. You could say chemistry produces pictures.
You've been making these images for some time. How have they developed?
In the very beginning, the concept of painting with soap bubbles completely fascinated me, because I was dealing with the idea of doing something with nothing. Over the years, the concept shifted to something I would call a real painting.
You started off as a conceptual artist, making installations and performance art, but since the 1980s you've devoted yourself to painting. What happened?
In the 1970s everyone wanted to be a conceptual artist. But my teachers hated painting so much that I just had to become a painter. As a child I loved the Impressionists, and I am still in love with Impressionism, so I became some sort of a conceptual impressionist. Producing a painting has to do with the artist's encounter with the material, and this usually refuses to subordinate itself to a concept.
You have said that your paintings reach more people than your conceptual art. Why is that?
People go to museums and galleries for a form-colour experience. This remains the essence of art. The painting is an incredible invention. You have a wooden frame with some canvas, you put it on the wall and immediately people begin to look at it. It's great – and it gives you a kind of freedom.
What was the initial inspiration for the soap-bubble paintings?
In the late 1980s I became obsessed with the idea of impossible paintings. I'm interested in media that you cannot control – so there is always a fight for something that is not strictly possible.
How many of these works have you done?
Three hundred ninety-eight and counting.
What do these works say about the role of the artist?
I think they suggest the supremacy of technique. I am convinced that the brothers Jan and Hubert van Eyck were the best oil painters of all time. They invented the technique. To become an outstanding artist, you have to have your own technique, and this is mine.
What other painting techniques have you invented?
I put paint on canvas using a whip or car tyres, and I also paint with candle soot. All in all, I've invented around 100 different techniques.
Will you continue to produce these images?
Yes. I fact, I feel as if I am just beginning. I want to make bigger and better versions.

Dan Witz is in London collaborating...
Dan Witz is in London collaborating with PETA
September 25, 2014 by Mark
Dan Witz is in London collaborating with PETA on a new project. The project aims to bring the billions of animals who are killed for food out of the shadows and into the public eye.
Titled "Empty the Cages", the project consists of dozens of pieces of art featuring Witz's signature trompe l'oeil style placed throughout London. Each piece is being fitted with a QR code which automatically directs mobile phone users to a new PETA website where they can learn more about the meat industry and order a free copy of PETA's vegetarian starter kit.
"Like most artists, I'm interested in exploring what society hides from itself. As a human, I'm concerned with injustice. But, like most people, I feel powerless to do anything about the downward spiral our planet seems to be taking. But, as someone who operates in the public commons, with my street interventions, sometimes I get the opportunity to directly address this frustration, to provoke a dialogue about issues that matter to me.
It wasn't until the anti-whistleblower ag-gag laws began passing in the United States that my attention was drawn to America's animal agriculture industry. Further exploration revealed unbelievable depths of abuse — perpetrated against not only farm animals, but also the environment. Climate change, deforestation, wildlife extinction, water waste, air pollution and ocean dead zones (among other things) are all directly attributable to meat, dairy and egg production. And then there's the merciless ways in which these deep-pocketed and powerful entities treat their employees, not to mention the local irreversible environmental damage."
It's truly unconscionable what these corporations get away with, day in and day out with seeming impunity. This is why when PETA UK invited me to partner with them on the Empty the Cages project, to raise awareness surrounding animals raised for food and their dire plight, I didn't hesitate to say yes. If encountering my pieces brings this topic to anyone's attention, then art matters, because life matters, and I'm satisfied."

Google launches new phones in an attempt to compete with Apple and Samsung
By Wesley Diphoko Oct 20, 2021
Google has finally launched its flagship Pixel 6 smartphones as it aims to beat competitors on camera and performance while undercutting them on price.
Pixel 6 and 6 Pro are the Android-maker's attempt to compete with Apple and Samsung at the high end of the market after disappointing results with its previous mid-range entries.
Both phones have a distinctive design made from recycled aluminium with a large camera bar across the back reminiscent of Geordi La Forge's visor from Star Trek.
These devices represent a new push from Google to make phones that are competitive with the best from Apple and Samsung. These prices are just lower than the competition. A big draw for a lot of people might be that, at the end of the day, the Pixels just cost less. These phones are powered by what Google calls Tensor.
According to Google, Tensor was built for how people use their phones today and how people will use them in the future. As more and more features are powered by AI and ML, it's not simply about adding more computing resources. It's about using that ML to unlock specific experiences for Pixel users.
IEC partners with Facebook, Google, Twitter and Tik Tok to fight fake news during elections
WATCH: Google unveils new phones and other new digital hardware products
Meet the former Google employee, who is connecting the dots between Big Tech and Military
The team that designed the silicon wanted to make Pixel even more capable. For example, with Tensor, Google thought about every piece of the chip and customised it to run Google's computational photography models. For users, this means entirely new features, plus improvements to existing ones.
Tensor enables the Google phones to get the Google computing power — phones that keep getting better while tapping the most powerful parts of Google, all in a highly personalised experience. And with Tensor's new security core and Titan M2, Pixel 6 will have the layers of hardware security in any phone.
You'll see this in everything from the completely revamped camera system to speech recognition and much more. So whether you're trying to capture that family photo when your kids won't stand still or communicate with a relative in another language, Pixel will be more helpful than ever.
These phones are not yet available for the South African market.

The goal of the Billion Oyster Project is to restore 1 billion live oysters to New York Harbor.
Eat Oysters At Top NYC Restaurants, Help The Ecosystem
George Embiricos September 10, 2015
Want to eat at some of New York City's best seafood restaurants and help the ecosystem in the process? Beginning today — and continuing through September 27 — that scenario can be a reality, thanks to the Billion Oyster Project. The education project's mission is to restore 1 billion live oysters to the New York Harbor, on the theory that a single adult oyster can filter 25 to 50 gallons of water in a day. The entirety of New York Harbor would hypothetically be entirely filtered every three days, should the project reach its eventual goal (to date, BOP has grown 11.5 million oysters in the harbor). Oysters also help protect the coast as a shock absorber for natural disasters.
So how exactly does BOP work? The project engages thousands of local students in 36 public schools year-round, teaching them to raise oyster larvae and helping them conduct long-term research projects in the murky, contaminated waters of one of the busiest ports in the country. Oysters were once the keystone species and original ecosystem engineers of New York Harbor, offering a valuable service to the region by filtering water and providing a habitat for other marine species while attenuating wave energy.
A basic cycle description of BOP's process to restore the New York Harbor ecosystem
Today, oysters are functionally extinct in the harbor as a result of overharvesting, dredging and pollution. BOP aims to reverse these effects by increasing the oyster population and eventually restoring the local marine ecosystem's natural mechanisms for maintaining itself, resulting in cleaner water and greater biodiversity. The project currently collects the sorted (used) shells from 17 city restaurants every week of the year — which would have otherwise gone into landfills — that help new baby oysters to grow (one recycled shell can help up to 20 new oysters grow).
Now that the basic science is out of the way, let's get down to how you can help — and enjoy dinner while you're at it. Today, BOP is launching a new initiative, the Billion Oyster Passport, to coincide with New York Oyster Week (which runs through September 27). Eleven of the 17 BOP-partnering city restaurants from all over the city have agreed to take part in the Passport program, each directly donating $1 from sales of one specially offered oyster dish, titled BOPlates, to BOP's reef restoration program (see the full list below). Pearl Oyster, a new app that helps users find daily offerings of oysters at nearby restaurants in NYC, San Francisco, Chicago, Boston and Seattle, is the presenting partner of the ongoing promotion.
11 restaurants are currently donating money to BOP from the sales of special oyster dishes.

Hillsborough Community College Receives $1 Million Gift for Allied Health Building
With gratitude, Hillsborough Community College (HCC) announced today that it has received the largest cash gift from an individual in the College's 50-year history. Drs. Kiran C. and Pallavi Patel have donated $1 million to HCC for the Allied Health Building and scholarships for students enrolled in health science programs. This tremendous support will serve as the lead gift for the HCC Foundation's 50th Anniversary fundraising campaign, HCC Rising: Together We Lift Our Community.
The facility, which is currently under construction at the Dale Mabry Campus, will be named the Drs. Kiran and Pallavi Patel Allied Health Building. With a projected opening in the fall of 2019, the three-story, 62,670-square-foot facility will feature classrooms and lab space, along with a simulated hospital allowing multiple health science programs to work together, creating conditions found in real-life situations.
"HCC is unique in filling the gap between high school and the university," stated Dr. Kiran Patel. "It is a means for many people that are working and trying to obtain an education. HCC has a niche of filling the requirement of such a vast community who for a variety of reasons would have been left behind and unable to access a university education right away."
Dr. Ken Atwater, HCC president, made the gift announcement at the annual Presidential Showcase event that was held on Thursday, September 13, which served as the official kick-off to HCC's 50th anniversary celebration.
"The HCC community is humbled and grateful for the generous support and commitment of Drs. Kiran and Pallavi Patel who are extremely passionate about the transformational impact of education on the well-being of people," stated Dr. Ken Atwater.
The generous gift to HCC highlights the philanthropic commitment of the Patels to better the lives of people through education in the Tampa Bay community, the state of Florida and throughout the world.
The Hillsborough Community College Foundation supports HCC in its mission to deliver affordable educational opportunities that help students become successful, productive citizens. Through annual scholarships, endowments, program and faculty support, and collegewide funding initiatives, the Foundation has awarded more than $12,000,000 since its inception and changed thousands of lives for the better.
Hillsborough Community College serves over 44,000 students annually at its five campuses located throughout Tampa Bay. The college is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. For more information, visit hccfl.edu

From the Landmark Designation Report: Wrigley Building, 400-410 North Michigan Avenue. City of Chicago, February 2, 2012.
Wrigley's originally planned a three-storey factory to supply the growing demand for gum in the Canadian market. The Toronto building was modelled in part on the "mother plant" in Chicago.
By 1915, the Wrigley Company had constructed a large manufacturing complex in the Central Manufacturing District on Chicago's southwest side. The Central Manufacturing district was similar to Toronto's Carlaw Avenue albeit much bigger.
However, that demand skyrocketed with war broke out in the fall of 1914. The Company applied and got a permit for a bigger factory.
$65,000 Carlaw Avenue Addition. The City Architect issued a permit to-day for an additional two storeys to the factory of Wm. Wrigley and company on Carlaw avenue. Estimated cost, $65,000.
By March, 1915, the original three storeys were well under way. That year the William Wrigley Jr. Company Limited sold its Canadian interests to a new company — the William Wrigley Jr. Company Limited of Canada with J. Allen Ross as President.
March 24, 1915, Library and Archives Canada. Looking southeast from a rooftop on the west side of Carlaw. The South Building was the first part of the Wrigley complex and it was finished in January 1916. The houses on the Boston Avenue can be seen as well as the Rolph-Clark-Stone plant to the south of the new gum factory. The vacant field to the north will be where its twin, the North Building, will be built beginning in the fall of 1916.
Construction of the South Wrigley Building, April 7, 1915. Library and Archives Canada.
The Wrigley Building was completed in the spring of 1916. It was in the Beaux Arts style used for the Chicago factory. Chicago's own Wrigley Building on Michigan Avenue was built in 1921 as headquarters for the now international gum company with factories and offices around the world. Pract and Perrine, the architects for 245 Carlaw, were also responsible for the Palmolive Building across the street.

Toronto Star, Jan. 10, 1916 This may be the view from the newly-opened Wrigley Building on Carlaw Avenue west towards downtown Toronto, Toronto Harbour, and Toronto Island.
Gum was advertised as a health product, good for the teeth and good for the mind.
Gum sales soared during the First World War thanks to a well-thought out advertising strategy. Some of those advertisements are reproduced in the slide show below.
The Wrigley's ads of the First World War were clearly marked to men. This was no dainty confectionary, but something a man could use to keep himself awake during a long night of sentry duty, chew to calm the nerves just before "going over the top" into battle, or even as a sterile would plaster to plug a bullet hole or other wound.
Labourers were hard to find with so many men away at the Front in Belgium and France. Wrigley's had always prided itself on being a good employer and "showed its stuff" in the Great War by raising money for Canadian War Bonds and the Patriotic Fund.
It also paid well. When many firms only paid $1.75 a day, Wrigley's paid more.
Managers realized that their workers were being hard pressed by inflation as the price of necessary items like coal soared. They responded.
In Wrigley expanded its Carlaw plant factory to 11,892 square metres by adding a new building north of the 1915-16 building. The new plant was finished in 1919. Pract and Perrine were the architects on the new building just as they were on its conjoined twin to the south.

After World War One, the soldiers came home. This advertisement below with a gleeful Wrigley sprite and a towering steamer reflects the widely spread belief that the First World War would be over soon and the "boys" would be home again, along with their habit of chewing gum.
A period of turbulence and distress followed Armistice Day, November 11, 1918. Labour unrest spread across the country as pent-up demand for wage increases lead to strikes and, the biggest strike of all, the 1919 Winnipeg General Strike. The returning soldiers found high unemployment and a housing shortage with escalating rents, driving the cost of living up and up. Employers were concerned not just out of benevolence, though that was undoubtedly a strong factor. They feared that workers would turn to Bolshevism and rise up against the existing order. The Canadian Manufacturers Association supported measures to build affordable housing and relieve poverty.
In Toronto, a Housing Commission was set up. H. H. Williams was the real estate agent who sold the City of Toronto properties on Carlaw Avenue as factory sites. He sat on the Board of the Housing Commission along with James Allen Ross, an American from Chicago, who set up Wrigley Canada in 1910 and was a Vice-President of the Company. During the Great War J. Allen Ross put his business interests aside to serve the Dominion of Canada on the Canadian War Mission in Washington, D.C. Frank A. Rolph, of Rolph-Clark-Stone, the Wrigley Building's neighbour on Carlaw, also sat on the Housing Commission. The most famous member of the Commission and its Chair was Sir John Eaton. The Timothy Eaton Co. would soon lease space in the Wrigley Building for a small factory that specialized in making harness. James W. Woods, the other member of the Commission, was an Ottawa businessman and the descendent of Anglo-Irish army officers. In 1895 Woods began making and supplying everything a lumber camp needed — except food. He sold clothing, camping outfits and tools, etc. In 1900 he supplied the British government with canvas tents for the troops in the Boer War. One of the earliest and most important factories (est.1908) in the area near Carlaw was the Smart Bag Co. Ltd. on Logan Avenue. It became Woods Manufacturing Co. Ltd. which produced camping equipment and outdoor clothing. The company became wealthy furnishing equipment to the British and Canadian armies in World War I. His tent factory became the largest in the world. He diversified and was involved in realty, coal companies, shoe manufacturing, the Standard Explosives Company and a canvas bag company.
Like William Wrigley Jr., J. Allan Ross and others he gained from the Great War. But he also lost. His son, John Russell Woods, died September 16, 1916 sustained at the Somme, A Captain in the Coldstream Guards, he was only 21, and was buried in Méaulte, Picardie, France. The War Diary of the Coldstream Guards tells that on the day Captain Woods died, the First Battalion of that Regiment went into battle with 17 officers and 690 other ranks (sergeants, corporals and privates). Only three officers and 221 other ranks returned. It is too easy to discount the altruism of men like James W. Woods and other "captains of industry".

Everywoman's World, Vol. 11, No. 4, Oct. 1919. Chiclets took a much different approach to marketing their product, preferring softer, gentler ads for its "dainty" gum, apparently aimed at women.
But when the war ended, gum sales fell, hitting all the manufacturers hard. J. Allen Ross, in a hearing on tariffs, explained the difficulties of operating a branch plant in Canada.
British American Wax Paper Co. Ltd.
In 1925 gum sales began to pick up again.
In 1926 William Wrigley Jr. Co. Ltd. leased space to the firms below.
Delco-Light Co. of Canada Ltd.
In 1931 William Wrigley Jr. Co. Ltd. of Canada made an extraordinary move to stabilize the economy of Western Canada by using profits made through gum sales to buy up Canadian wheat.
Two years later, J. Allen Ross, president of Wrigley Canada, was able to report that gum sales were picking up again.
After the Second World War broke out, Wrigley sold all its gum production to the military while running an ad campaign asking people to remember their product and buy again when peace came.
Wrigleys' gum was a standard item in the Red Cross parcels that went to Prisoners of War, saving many lives. The parcels were packed in special boxes made where Gerrard Square is today.
Wrigley's was a good corporate neighbour and a good place to work through the decades after World War II, but by the early 1960s it needed more room to expand and to modernize its operations. In 1963 Wrigley Canada moved from Carlaw Avenue to a new plant on Leslie Street north of Eglinton. A number of different concerns occupied the building over the years.
In 1998 the Wrigley building was converted into condominium lofts. Wrigley Lofts opened with 79 units ranging in size from 300 to over 3000 square feet. This New York-style "hard loft" conversion was an immediate success, offering large units with everything its prospective condo buyers wanted.
In 2005 Wrigley's Chicago factory was shut down and operations shifted to suburban Yorkville and Gainesville, Georgia.

Map from the City of Toronto Heritage Preservation Services. I have identified both the Wrigley Building and Rolph-Clarke-Stone Building on the map with labels including the "Not Designated" (red) and "Designated" (green).
In December 2014, the Wrigley chewing gum factory in Chicago was demolished. Most of Chicago's Central Manufacturing District factories have been demolished to make way for malls. Toronto's Carlaw-Dundas area was also a "brown field", an abandoned industrial area, and could have faced the same fate.
Meanwhile, as the value and prices of the condos in Wrigley Lofts on Carlaw soared, the sales of gum dropped.
In 2015 as Wrigley planned to close its plant on Leslie Street, workers were interviewed about their experience working for Wrigley Canada. Most had good things to say about William Wrigley Jr. Co. The company offered good salaries and great benefits, a culture that prioritized workplace safety, and a high quality product that workers were proud of.
In 2016 Wrigley Canada closed down its Canadian factory on Leslie Street north of Eglinton and moved its operations to its plant in Gainesville, Georgia. 383 people lost their jobs. . In a statement, Wrigley said that it was "a tough decision." Their statement explained, "Despite recent improvements in the gum category and increased productivity in our supply chain network, it has not been enough to offset declines in the gum category over recent years." Wrigley Canada still has a head office in Toronto for sales, marketing, and finance. Wrigley is owned by Mars, Inc. which is better known for the Mars Bar®.


This month we launch a new design for the journal, both in print and web, along with a change in our name—BMJ Evidence-Based Medicine—and the addition of new article types.
We have subtly changed our name, to build on the strengths of the BMJ's evidence-based mission. The BMJ and its associated publications have consistently published, promoted and campaigned for better evidence to inform decision making. Our publication on 10 essential papers for evidence-based medicine1 highlights a number of essential evidence-based medicine (EBM) articles in the BMJ: EBM: what it is and what it isn't,2 the scandal of poor medical research3 and assessing the quality of research,4 among others.
When the journal was first launched, the emerging clinical discipline of EBM aimed to bring the best evidence from clinical and healthcare research to the bedside, clinic or the community. Access to evidence was limited, the internet was emerging, and the journal was only available in print format.
There is, however, still a need to find and summarise the evidence that matters. Much of what is currently produced is of poor quality, partially reported and often lacks essential outcomes that make a difference to care.5 Therefore, the revamped journal will focus on the tools, methods and concepts that are basic and central to practising EBM. We require a better understanding of the biases that permeate much of what is reported, better tools to interpret data and more debate around what can improve the skills of clinicians and the public when it comes to understanding health claims.
We are also partnering with the Evidence Live6 and Preventing Overdiagnosis7 conferences by publishing abstract books from the conference submissions, promoting campaigns such as the EBM Manifesto5 and becoming a home to the controversial topics that matter to health.
To do this, we have reorganised and renamed the types of article we publish under three themes: debate, analysis and opinion; original research; and our clinical spotlight section. The latter of these includes our BMJ EBM Spotlight blog,8 which takes a critical approach to interpreting evidence directly relevant to patient care decisions and actions. Blogs are written by our editors, by invite, and on occasion submitted to us. As editors, we believe in being critical, thoughtful and analytical in our approach to producing content.
Early developments in EBM have focused on the internal validity of research evidence. The Evidence Manifesto, however, highlights there is much room for improvement.5 We need rigorous, robust, efficient research that matters, and importantly published in full. Dealing with uncertainty requires skills in assessing evidence and recognising poor-quality research.
Our focus won't stop with the education of medical professionals; it is also about educating the wider population of healthcare professionals and all those in the evidence ecosystem, including patients and the public. We will, therefore, deliver educational materials suitable for the public, for trainees and for practising professionals. What evidence affects clinical practice is a central question at the forefront of our thinking and journal's content.9 We source our commentaries from a large number of journals. Currently, most research is of unclear value or thought not to be practice-changing. We want to change this by publishing original evidence-based analysis, insights and opinions on what matters to healthcare.

Malacca High School (MHS) is a secondary school in Malacca, Malaysia. Founded on 7 December 1826, it is the second oldest recorded school in the country after only Penang Free School. It was awarded cluster school status and is known as one of the premier schools in Malaysia.

History

Establishment
On 7 December 1826, MHS was officially established; just after Malacca was made a British colony on 17 March 1824, when the Dutch ceded Malacca to the English after the Anglo-Dutch Treaty of 1824.

The establishment of the school (then known as Malacca Free School) was initiated by Thomas H. Moor who came to Malacca in 1825 on orders by William Milne who was one of the educators at the Anglo-Chinese College. In his letter dated 4 January 1825, he stated his wishes to Arundel in London to establish a school. The establishment of the school was also supported by some influential people including James Humphrey, a Superintendent in the London Missionary Society. The startup of Malacca High School was directly related to the closing of the Dutch-Malay school which was established in January 1815 by Christian missionary during the Dutch reign. The school was closed when Malacca was handed over to the British by the Dutch.

School motto

Meliora Hic Sequamur
This old main motto stands for "Here We Strive For Better Things". The motto was introduced by the Principal of Malacca High School L.W. Arnold. He was stationed in the school from 1931 to 1934. The use of the motto coincided with the shifting of the school from the High Court Building to the current location. The official opening of the school was in October 1931. The Motto obviously was chose to coincide with the abbreviation of MHS for the school. And that Headmaster Arnold was definitely purposeful in giving the translation of Meliora Hic Sequamur (=MHS) for the Malacca High School (=MHS) as such according to his own interpretation.A check with its actual Latin meaning, shows that the translation should have been "Let us follow (sequamur) the melody ( meloria) here (hic)"

School emblem
The school emblem was introduced in 1931. During this time the School Board of Governors was established and the motto "Meliora Hic Sequamur" was established. Originally, the school emblem reflected 'History,'Resilience' and 'Strength'.

The 'A Famosa' logo was used and the colour of green and maroon were used. At the bottom of the logo, ' Meliora Hic Sequamur' was etched. At the beginning, this logo was used by the school prefects only but from 1970 all students wear the logo.

Q: Gulp global install doesn't work on Windows 7 I am trying to install Gulp globally on a Windows 7 PC. In a command prompt I ran npm install gulp -gand it ran without any errors, although it did return the following warnings:
npm WARN install Couldn't install optional dependency: Failed to parse json
npm WARN install No data, empty input at 1:1
npm WARN install
npm WARN install ^
When I try to run gulp it says it is not recognized as an internal command.
If I check the %AppData%/npm directory, gulp.cmd is not there. Looking at all the answers to gulp command not found - error after installing gulp, I take it this is where it should be.
Any ideas what has gone wrong, or where I can look to see what has gone wrong?

A: When I tried to do a local install of gulp: npm install gulp, it actually showed an error:

Failed to Parse json... File:
  C:\Users\username|AppData\Roaming\npm-cache\clone\1.0.2\package\package.json

When I deleted this file and retried the Global install, it then worked.

Andrew WK interview (2010)
Hey the month of March is ending in 29 minutes so this was probably a good time to remember yet another anniversary that took place 5 years ago this month, which was "that time we interviewed Andrew WK," which took place on March 8, 2010. He played special songs for us n stuff.
Edit: Also within the first 5 minutes of the interview, he asked us if we were familiar with the Danbury Mint, and we responded "no." Not long afterwards I learned that my dad actually works there (in Norwalk, not Danbury) and if I ever meet Andrew WK again I will make sure to mention this.
He was on the phone with us for a REALLY long time. The first two parts have been embedded below...

stellaaauuuhh (2005)
"That time we interviewed Stella" was 10 years ago this month. I remember I got pretty sick that day (resulting in a few voice cracks), and it was kinda snowy and rainy outside. And due to being sick, I was less nervous than I could have been, considering that I was asking questions to my childhood heroes.
I remember that I was more or less obsessed with Howard Stern during that time, and his direct and uncompromising interviewing style influenced me to ask questions that I probably would not have considered asking today. This is mostly referring to a couple Q's from earlier in the interview when I asked whether they only appeared on I Love the '80s and other VH1 specials for the money or if it was something they actually enjoyed - a rude question in retrospect, but whatever. It happened. (Their answer was basically "both.")
I remember Eugene Mirman was the opening act, and that I could have easily asked him some stuff as well, but my co-host (who took some sweet photos and videos) and I were too tired and I was feeling crummy. (I recall watching Eugene and Stella's set from a table close to the exit on the side of the room far away from where everyone else was standing because I was too unwell to stand up for an hour straight. No big deal though, since this was probably my 5th time seeing Stella.) In retrospect, we probably should have collected our energy enough to ask Eugene some Q&A.
It seems kinda silly now, but this was def a huge checkpoint-type event. An early "achievement unlocked" moment from my 20s. Every Stella short that got posted was like a huge event in those days. After meeting them in person, most other celebrity encounters that I've had didn't seem as important.
(Although two weeks ago, I did sit on a couch next to Killer Mike, who is probably the most intimidating rock star I've ever seen up close. I said hello to El-P, but it was tough to get up the nerve to say hi to Mike. An hour or 2 later, their group Run The Jewels was attacked by a crazed fan who rushed their stage. And afterwards in the empty alley where Killer Mike was being ushered to his car I yelled out "Yo, fuck that dude! That guy sucks!" so at least I said something.)

der minister i VS der minister ii
One of the big hot debates in college campus dorms right now centers around Jaap Blonk's "Der Minister I" and "Der Minister II," two songs that originally appeared on his landmark breakthrough 1992 LP Flux de Bouche. In the first version, there seems to be more consonants being added while the vowels are gradually decreasing. However in the second version, it's the vowels that increase as the consonants gradually decrease. They both start from the same place but end on opposite areas. It's a very tough call.
Many social justice clickbait journalists (including the writer of a controversial thinkpiece posted on Pitchfork during the past week) have been labelling "I" as the superior version. "'Der Minister I' is clearly the better version," wrote critic Sarah Sahim in her piece titled "The Overbearing Dopeness of 'Der Minister I'." Supporters of the #GamerGate controversy have also projected their voices in favor of this version. However, Andy Gill - vocalist from the band Gang of Four - has called these accusations "ridiculous." He is strongly in favor of "II," calling the first version "illiberal, undemocratic and anti-progressive." The fast-rising Canadian rock bros in Viet Cong were unavailable for comment, but have issued a statement saying they were "embarrassed" to have no knowledge of this controversy.

snarky responses to pitchfork's 10 big headlines of the week
Oddly, their headlines for this week are about artists that we actually care about, although unsurprisingly it's about stuff that we didn't really need to know.
Kendrick Lamar Announces Album Release Date
OLD NEWS.
Tame Impala Share "Let It Happen", Announce Tour
Nice. Dat hippy trash mob is at it again.
Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck Documentary Trailer Revealed
Oh good. More Nirvana product. We're guaranteeing the DVD isn't released until Black Friday. We don't have time to get excited about stuff we won't be able to experience for 2+ months. We just had to wait over a year for Hotline Miami 2 and that's pretty much all the anticipation we can handle for this decade. Thank God rappers started doing the thing where they just drop their albums without any warning. It's kinda way better that way. We don't wanna know when things are going to happen months and years from now. There's too much Nirvana product. Too much emphasis on idolization. It's just kinda ruining the whole thing. That's not what it was like when Nirvana was around. No one was like "this band will be idolized." They just did their thing and they were dope as fuck. And that's literally it. Kurt surely would have objectively and accurately viewed all of this as bullshit. Where's the movie about that? (Yes of course we're gonna torrent this shit the second it's available.)
Kendrick Lamar Reveals Album Artwork, Title
NEW NEWS. Nice album cover. Somehow it doesn't feel like it took nearly as long for this record to surface.
Kanye West Releases Nudity-Filled Season Zine
I guess it sorta used to be like this with The Beatles, where everything they did became news. We honestly can't think of the last time a Pitchfork-friendly star has been able to attract this much tabloid attention.
M.I.A. Shares "Can See Can Do"
Cool. Maybe she's into the meeseeks.
Prince's "Surprise" Hit & Run Tour Coming to the U.S.
Gotta admit we were among the kids whose clicks shot this one up to the #8 position, under the assumption that some where/when info might actually get revealed. But unfortunately, only 1 concert date is included here. The rest is a big mystery.
Jay Z's Bid for Music Streaming Company Accepted
Boring.
Jury Rules Pharrell and Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" Copied Marvin Gaye
Got to give it up for that dumb jury. These guys simply didn't plagiarize. And it mostly sucks since it might eventually affect an artist or band who can't afford to be sued for $7 million, unlike Pharrell and Robin Thicke. Luckily, this is a case where Marvin Gaye's family will receive money from two VERY wealthy mofos: One dude who wrote "Drop It Like It's Hot" and "Rock Your Body" (the song that was performed during the most Tivo'd moment of 2004) and another dude who was literally the IRL Mike Seaver. NBD. It's no "Bittersweet Symphony," although that was certainly an equally egregious instance of non-plagiarism.

Though, to be fair, Dawson was more of a moderator of family feuds than an instigator.

This is weird because it's a Minaj album where we don't have any strong desire to cut anything and create our dream tracklisting with the 4 Japanese bonus tracks and the 5 Deluxe edition jams replacing the boring track 6 through 14 section. Although despite this, it strangely feels just as good as Pink Friday or Roman Reloaded or The Re-Up. We love Nicki so much that if she asked us to risk our lives and give her a ride to the trap to take care of some business, we would hesitantly be all like ".....ok, hop in."

06. Aby Ngana Diop Liital
Turn this one all the way up. ALL THE WAY. And then buy bigger and better speakers so it's louder. Then throw away your copy of The Bodyguard Soundtrack because who the fuck cares about "I'm Every Woman" and "I Will Always Love You" anymore. The joke is that in 1993 a woman got arrested for playing "I Will Always Love You" over and over again for like 9 hours straight with her very loud surround system blaring at top volume. Strangely enough, Liital was first released right around the same time (and finally saw official vinyl re-release in 2014). Let's make this the new album that gets everyone arrested. We can do this people. The real deal. 1000%.

So much candy. Freddie Gibbs and Matlock. How did we get the en-yay over the n? How can we guarantee that 2 years from now it won't turn into a dollar sign followed by a question mark?

what's it?
TASTE MY KIDS compiles recommendations for a happier and healthier existence, most often in the form of "best-of" lists, youtube posts, album or movie reviews, and various scribblings. We lived on Geocities starting in August 2000. In January 2009, times got tough and posts were on hiatus until a new host could be located. Geocities eventually died anyway, and now we live on blogspot. True story.
