Shining Through
Inspiration Green is a New York-based company website, with blog (link at the bottom of their page), about green...everything. Issues, resources, music, tech, art, food, and more.
It's visually compelling design. Especially when you look more closely and see that all those blocks with patterns are close-ups of leaves. Or tree trunks.
Plus there's this page, a compilation of glass bottles used in walls in various ways -- decorative, functional, both.
Sometimes, like now (election season in Canada), I suffer from "too many words." Images like these are an oasis. Thanks, Green Inspiration!!

So Many Thousands
That's how many words this video is worth. During the first minute, you get to watch cracks in the earth open and close. After that, it gets even freakier.
The videographer talks of feeling woozy and wondering if he was sick. While it's interesting to know that the human body may experience earthquakes in that way, that knowledge pales in comparison to the images. Wow.
So many effective visuals from this disaster--a good reminder that sometimes, words just don't quite get there.

Too Big, Too Small
I was all set to write about Hana's Suitcase, another fine example of the power of story and symbol, but then the earthquake, tsunami, and subsequent radiation stories have diverted my attention from whatever meaningful thing I wanted to say about luggage.
However, one thread ties two events: sometimes a story is too big, too abstract to tell without making it concrete and personal--but then again, sometimes the size is the story.
Hana's Suitcase as a story is an effective way to help everyone understand the horror and human loss of the Holocaust. Hana is today's Anne Frank--a real person whose real life was silenced, leaving us all poorer. Without Anne and Hana, and without some sense of the fundamental humanity of the victims, events of the Holocaust could become less real, less immediate, and thus less horrific as time passes. The personal is vital to preserving the essential meaning of the story.
Right now, this disaster in Japan, which has both natural and human-made elements, is too big to tell coherently. We know 8.9 is a big number for an earthquake; aftershocks measuring more than 6.0 also sound big--but what does that feel like? What does a wall of water look like? Fortunately, pictures and maps (including these fabulous ones at the BBC) give context--but shots of boats and cars and vans and houses and skyscrapers don't convey what the people are going through.
News writers are looking for human angles into the story in an effort to help people around the world connect personally with the unimaginable destruction. As time passes, we will likely hear more stories about individuals.
Yet the scale is an essential part of the story. The magnitude of the earthquake is part of its horror and meaning, as are the aftershocks, the tsunamis and reflected waves. That would be a frightening-enough story. Add in concerns about radioactive leaks and exposure risks, and the validity of the information released about them to the public, and what you have is even more frightening and more sweeping in scope.
Similarly, the stories of Anne and Hana, though touching, are only two stories. Six million people were systematically killed in the Holocaust. Six million other individual stories could be told. The current population of New York City is around 8 million. The greater Toronto area has something more than 5.6 million people. Big cities; lots of people.
And, those 6 million people killed in the Holocaust represent only deaths, not those incarcerated (and not the full death toll of WWII). Add in the fact that that the deaths were caused by the actions of other people, and the horror grows. Both the scope and the systematic nature of the Holocaust are inextricable parts of the story's devastation, its impact.
I've had two recent experiences with this "too big, too small" phenomenon, come to think of it, and one in each direction. "All I Can Say," the essay that was shortlisted for the CBC literary awards last year, is only part of bazillions of words I wrote about my mother's Alzheimer's disease in the space of three or four years. I was driven to write about the disease because it was happening to her, to my father, to me, to my family. I needed to make the story concrete, to show the world (or at least myself) the human cost of a nebulous disease.
Yet I suspect that the real story now is one of scope. In the decade-plus since her death and the fourteen years since her diagnosis and illness, care for Alzheimer's patients has improved. Patients have more medications to delay the disease's onset and progression; caregivers have more community support to call on. However, the real story is ahead: as the population ages, delaying the onset of the disease won't be enough to prevent dementia disorders from straining the healthcare systems in Canada and the U.S.
And then there's cancer. About 12 million people in the U.S. have cancer (or have ever been diagnosed with cancer), says the American Cancer Society. In Canada, almost 700,000 of those Canadians who were alive on January 1, 2005, had been diagnosed with cancer in the previous ten years. Cancer has always had a personal element for me--my sister had cancer when I was still in elementary school. She has been cancer-free since I was at university, and cancer thus became comfortably abstract again for years. Then my brother was diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) four years ago.
The "zooming in" process from "too big" to immediate and personal accelerated in December, when my brother's oncologist found that his CLL had not responded to traditional chemotherapy. "Donating" in relation to the human body went from abstract to concrete in the seconds it took me to read his email asking if we siblings could help. Quickly, I learned about many other abstract concepts: peripheral blood stem cell transplants, bone marrow transplants, human leukocyte antigen matching, the stages of remission. I learned the hard way that "a one in four chance of a match in siblings" doesn't mean "you have four siblings, so one will surely match you."
Be the Match and OneMatch.ca became links on my blog and on this page.
However, thanks to the 16.5 million donors registered worldwide, my brother has a donor, ready if and when his transplant time comes. Someone else has also made the journey from the abstract "what can I do to make a difference in this world" thought to a concrete "here's what I can do" action. I'm already grateful.
Events in the disasters in Japan are still unfolding. Similarly, I don't yet know the turns my brother's story will take, except that his is not a story only of disease--he's a new grandfather! My mother's story is at times as immediate to me as when she died; and at other times, it seems to have happened in a different universe. If Hana's Suitcase is any indication, perhaps these stories will continue in both "big" and "small" dimensions as long as we continue to write them.

Book Learnin'
I'm working on an analysis of The Time of Our Singing, by Richard Powers--specifically of its narrative structure. I've analyzed several works during the past year, and I've learned a lot about narrative each time.
I'm also part of a group that reads and provides feedback on works in progress. Some call this a workshop, others a critique group. At the moment, our group is small but mighty, and one of my pieces is on tap for this coming week. It is always interesting to see whether this group of readers, each of whom is also a writer, confirms what I suspect to be the limitations of a story (in this case, a loooooong one). (Sadly, they often point out things I didn't even think about. Sigh.)
Both kinds of learning are important to my development.
That's why I was pleased, in reading an interview with Powers, to see him say that the workshop needs to be supplemented with direct learning about narrative technique. Here's why:
We never tell a person who wants to learn how to play violin or how to paint to go out and figure out all the skills on her own, and then come back and have a group of other autodidacts tell her whether everything is working. Surely it can't hurt a student writer to look at all the nuts and bolts that go into making a resonant story, and to work on exercises that isolate those components. In the class, I do lots of different kinds of exercises -- wordgames, syntax challenges, stylistic imitations -- as well as very close analysis of really masterful stories.
I would only add that I also learn from close analysis of non-masterful stories, with an eye to figuring out why they don't work so well. (Other books. Not this one. This one is puzzling and challenging, to the point that I can't stop thinking about it.)
The full interview with Powers relates specifically to his book Gain (1998), so I expect the interview is from that period. But there's lots of material about him online.
Although it's nice when I find justification for something I already enjoy doing, I get enough answers to "why does this work?" that I'd do it anyway. Just as I keep getting good feedback from the other reader/writers in the group.
A "both/and," not an "either/or." Love when that happens.

A: It seems  mail function is returning false. mail function always return true or false. So you cant find out easily what went wrong if mail didnt work.It could be SMTP error, Connection Error or anything. Number of possibilities are there.
 have a look at this link

A: This is the issue i assume.
if(!isEmail($email)) {}

IsEmail is not a fucntion unless you mean is_email which i think is wordpress?
or one i know of but you can use filter_var with filter_email
this would work too
if (filter_var($email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) { //Return True Is Valid
echo "HEY IM VALID";
}

Also i would redo the if statement in some way like this
foreach ($_POST as $item => $value){
    if($value === ""){ echo $item." must be a valid input"; exit();}
 }

Master of Arts (1511 – 1515)
Post graduate, prob. France (1515 – 1518)
St Salvator's College, St Andrews University
Robert Reid (died 1558) was Abbot of Kinloss, Commendator-prior of Beauly, and Bishop of Orkney. He was born at Aikenhead in Clackmannan parish, the son of John Reid (killed at the Battle of Flodden) and Elizabeth Schanwell. His formal education began in 1511 at St Salvator's College in St Andrews University under the supervision of his uncle, Robert Schanwell, dean of the faculty of arts. Reid graduated in 1515 and by 1524 was subdean at Elgin Cathedral where, by 1527, he was Official[note 1] of Moray. Thomas Chrystall, the abbot of Kinloss, chose Reid as his successor in 1526. In 1527, as abbot-designate, he attended the court of Pope Clement VII on abbacy business. While returning via Paris in 1528, Reid met the Piedmontese humanist scholar Giovanni Ferrerio who accompanied him back to Scotland. Following Chrystall's resignation in July 1528, Reid was blessed as abbot in September and received the Priory of Beauly, in commendam, in 1531. In that same year, Ferrerio left the court of James V to join Reid at Kinloss as tutor to the monks of both Kinloss and Beauly. Reid held many offices of state between 1532 and 1542 including ambassadorial roles to England and France and as a senior law official. He considerably improved the external and internal fabric of both monasteries in 1538.
In the spring of 1541, James V nominated Reid to the vacant bishopric of Orkney with his consecration taking place in late November. King James died in 1542 and James Hamilton, Earl of Arran was appointed regent during Queen Mary's minority. Bishop Reid aligned himself with Cardinal Beaton in his dislike of the pro-English stance of Arran. Beaton's resistance to the regent's viewpoint led to his arrest and the cardinal's supporters chose Reid to negotiate with Arran for Beaton's release in 1543. Reid's attempts were rejected but the cardinal's freedom was gradually restored. Despite his support of Beaton, Reid was elected to the influential Lord of the Articles committee of parliament. This position also brought with it membership of the regent's privy council. Parliament approved the Treaty of Greenwich, concluded in July 1543, that would pave the way to a betrothal between Queen Mary and Prince Edward of England. On 11 December, a renunciation of the treaty was passed by parliament and resulted in the English King Edward's declaration of war on Scotland that lasted nearly eight years and came to be known as the Rough Wooing.
In August 1544, Bishop Reid traveled to Kirkwall's St Magnus Cathedral, the seat of his Orkney bishopric, and immediately began structural improvements to the diocesan buildings and reforms to the cathedral chapter. Reid became President of the Court of Justice in February 1549. He relinquished his abbacy of Kinloss to his nephew Walter Reid in 1550 and that same year sat at the heresy trial of Adam Wallace. His services continued to be in demand and in June 1551 he was a commissioner appointed to treat for peace with England. In May 1554, Reid was a curator to the young Queen Mary. Shortly before embarking for France to attend the Queen's wedding to the Dauphin in 1558, Reid made out his last will and testament that allowed for a college to be established in Edinburgh that was to consist of grammar, arts and law schools with all necessary accommodation. Reid's ship was wrecked near Boulogne but both he and his fellow commissioner, the Earl of Rothes, survived to witness the royal marriage at Nôtre-Dame Cathedral. On reaching Dieppe on his journey home, Reid and fellow commissioners fell ill and on 6 September 1558, he died and was buried in Dieppe's church of St Jacques.

Robert Reid's date of birth is unrecorded but he began his university education in 1511 and like most students of the time, entry usually occurred between the ages of twelve and fifteen—this would have placed his probable year of birth between 1496 and 1499.[1] Robert's parents, John Reid and Elizabeth (sometimes known as Bessata) Schanwell, had six children of whom Robert was the third born—his two older brothers were David and James, and his three younger sisters were Christian, Helen and Margaret.[2]
St Salvator's Tower, University of St Andrews
Elizabeth Schanwell had at least three siblings—John who became abbot of Couper Angus, William who was a secular cleric, and Robert who in 1501 was Vicar of Kircaldy, and Dean of the faculty of arts at St Andrews University from 1512 to 1517. From 1517 to 1519 Robert Schanwell served as Deputy Rector and Rector of the University.[3] Reid entered St Salvator's College in St Andrews University in 1511 during the period that his uncle, Robert Schanwell, held high office.[4] Under the tutelage of Hugh Spens, Professor of Sacred Theology, he graduated as a Batchelor of Arts in 1513 or 1514 followed by his Master of Arts on 28 May 1515.[5][6][7][8] St Salvador's College introduced the study of canon law as part of the curriculum in 1500 when it required that a Bachelor of Canon Law deliver three lectures per week. Hugh Spens had become a Doctor of Canon Law in 1508 but it was not until 1538 that degrees in civil law were offered.[9] By the 1430s, for those aspiring to the higher echelons of the church or service to the king, or both, a postgraduate degree in canon or civil law was essential.[10] Reid is almost always described as being a postgraduate law student at the University of Paris but no record of this has been uncovered.[11] Moreover, Reid's future distinguished law career with expertise in both canon and civil law[12] would rule out Paris as it was specifically barred from offering civil law.[13] Instead, other universities provided this discipline; for instance, the University of Orlèans, situated only 110 km southwest of Paris offered a three-year course on civil law for those qualified in canon law.[14]
Reid was appointed as a Notary public in the diocese of Moray in 1518 and then described as a court procurator in Fife and also as a cleric of St Andrews diocese, both in 1519.[4] In 1520, he acted as a notary public of St Andrews diocese.[15] He was subdean in the Diocese of Moray at Elgin Cathedral by 1524 and then officialis or official of the diocese by 1527—the official of a diocese was a lawyer who was the judge in the bishop's consistorial court and needed not only in-depth knowledge of canon law but frequently, civil law also.[4][16][17]
Abbot of Kinloss[edit]
Pope Clement VII to Robert Reid, 4 July 1528
Clement etc. to his dear son Robert Reid, Abbot of the Monastery of Kinloss, of the Cistercian Order, in the Diocese of Moray, greetings etc
...For some time now We have reserved all of the appointments of all of the churches and monasteries, vacant then and vacant before, in the aforesaid See [Moray], to our decision and disposition, and We declare that it is invalid and idle for anyone, relying on any authority whatsoever, knowingly or ignorantly, to call this in question...
...We appoint you abbot, and commit you to the cure, rule and administration of that same monastery, with full powers over its spiritual and temporal affairs.
Given at Viterbo, 4 July 1528, in the fifth year of Our pontificate.[18]
The abbey of Kinloss, founded by King David I in 1151,[19] is situated only a few miles from Elgin Cathedral where Robert Reid was its subdean and official, was governed by Abbot Thomas Crystall since his appointment on 13 January 1500. Chrystall had been very successful in retrieving misappropriated property belonging to the abbey and reinstating teinds that had been neglected and by doing so doubled the abbey income.[20]Crystall performed numerous charitable acts in the distribution of alms and even provided impoverished ladies with money as dowries to enable suitable marriages. The upkeep of his abbey properties was important to him, carrying out repairs and new building work at Kinloss while also improving the church furnishings and library. The external properties in Ellon and Strathisla were also well maintained.[20] The additional income that Chrystall achieved allowed him to increase the numbers of monks from fourteen to twenty or more. Crystall was fully committed to the abbacy, refusing offers of elevation to the larger abbacies of Melrose and Dryburgh and then to the bishopric of Ross.[21] Reid's own abilities were drawn upon by the Pope when he was chosen to resolve an internal church dispute between the Abbot of Cambuskenneth and the Vicar of Stirling in 1526.[22] With the abbey's proximity to the cathedral, Chrystall was ideally placed to observe Reid at first-hand and so it was that it was the cathedral's subdean that he chose as his successor in 1526.[23]
Abbot Reid's house, Kinloss Abbey
Rome was sacked on 6 May 1527 by the forces of Charles V, the Holy Roman Emperor, resulting in Pope Clement VII's imprisonment in the Castel Sant'Angelo. His release was finally negotiated and on 6 December 1527 he left Rome for the Umbrian city of Orvieto, 120 km to the North. Abbot-elect Reid faced a winter journey to meet the Pope, probably in the furtherance of his position at Kinloss, and left Elgin, ostensibly for Rome, sometime after 10 November 1527 but it may have been in Orvieto that he met the Pontiff.[24] Reid's return journey took him via Paris where he was introduced to the humanist scholar Giovanni Ferrerio by the Scottish scholar and Augustinian canon, Robert Richardson. Following his studies at Turin, the Piedmontese Ferrerio arrived in Paris in 1525 where he became a companion of not only Richardson but other Scottish scholars such as Hector Boece, George Buchanan and William Gordon. Ferrerio joined Reid back to Scotland to the court of King James V where he would spend the next three years.[25] In Pope Clement VII's bull of 4 July 1528, he acknowledged having received Chrystall's request to resign, which he granted, and declared that the appointment of a successor to any monastery within the see of Moray lay solely with him and that he had therefore appointed Reid, Abbot of Kinloss.[26][27] This was conditional on Reid accepting the Cistercian monk's habit within six months of taking up the rule of the abbey; he received the habit and blessing from the bishop of Aberdeen at a ceremony at the church of the Grey Friars in Edinburgh in the autumn of 1528.[27] Crystal retired to the tower house that he had built in 1525, at Strathisla in the abbey estates, having retained the fruits of the abbey. Crystall lived on for a further six years when he died at Strathisla on 29 December 1535 and was buried the next day at Kinloss.[28][20]
One of Reid's first acts as abbot was to prosecute the nearby burgh of Forres to retrieve lands at Burgie and converted all of the abbey estates into a barony.[29] The Barony of Muirton was created out of much of the abbey lands just north of the buildings.[30] In 1531, Ferrerio was allowed to leave James's court to teach some of the Kinloss monks and, as a result of Reid having received, in commendam, the Priory of Beauly on 1 November,[note 2] he also tutored five of the Beauly monks, seconded to Kinloss for a period of three years.[31][32] Abbot Reid energetically set about renovations to the abbot's rooms, building arches in the cloister, providing the abbey with a fire-proof library, and having three chapels provided with altarpieces and adorned with murals; externally, he had the roof of the abbey sealed with a lead covering, provided new barns, a malthouse with an associated kiln and a dovecot.[4]
Bishop of Orkney[edit]
Pope Paul III to Robert Reid, 20 July 1541
Paul etc. to his dear son Robert Reid, Elect of Orkney, greetings.
...For some time now We have reserved to Our ordination and disposition the appointments of all of the churches vacant, declaring that henceforth it is invalid and idle for anyone, relying on any authority, knowingly or ignorantly, to call this in question...
...We appoint you and prefer you to the office of bishop to the pastorate, cure, and administration of that church, and commit to you full powers in both spiritual and temporal matters.
Given at Rome, at Santa Maria [Maggiore], 16th October,1541, in the seventh year [of Our pontificate.][33]
Robert Maxwell, Bishop of Orkney had died by 25 December 1540 and Robert Reid was nominated by the King for the bishopric on 5 April 1541. The provision was granted on 20 July 1541 with Reid retaining his existing benefices including the abbacy of Kinloss.[34] Like many other clerics, Reid, the politician, was more in evidence than Reid, the theologian. But in 1544, once again back in his diocese, Reid rewrote the constitution of the diocese. This stipulated that there would be seven dignitaries led by a provost, seven canons, thirteen chaplains, and six choristers—the chancellor was charged with delivering a weekly lecture on canon law and one of the chaplains detailed to head up the grammar school.[35]
Book-stamp of Robert Reid
Unusually, the Royal Burgh of Kirkwall owned St Magnes Cathedral given to it in a royal charter by James III] in 1486. This charter stipulated that the income from the prebend of St John was to be used for the upkeep of the cathedral building and its contents but this was disregarded by Reid—other appropriations to finance this overhaul of the chapter were enforced.[36] This channeled away revenues from parishes and risked the downgrading of the quality of pastoral care.[37]
In 1541, Bishop Reid, as commendator of Beauly, had the bell-tower re-built after it had been ruined during a storm on 1 January. The nave of the priory church was renovated and the roof was protected with the addition of oak tiles. Further building works took place in 1544 when the old and ramshackle priory buildings were demolished and completely rebuilt with many improvements.[38] In Orkney, evidence of the bishop's industriousness can be seen by the number of buildings that have Reid's coat of arms inserted into them—the most prominent of these being the restoration of the Bishop's Palace to which Reid had added a round tower in its northwest corner.[39]
In 1554, Reid set about fine-tuning the diocesan organisation—in order to get ready for the divine services the chaplains and the choristers were re-housed and the subdean was allocated chambers that were better suited to his role of enforcing overall discipline when the provost was absent.[4]
Diplomacy and judiciary[edit]
The new College of Justice held its inaugural meeting on 27 May 1532 when Abbot Reid was admitted as a senator in place of his uncle, Robert Schanwell. Alexander Mylne, the Abbot of Cambuskenneth, was appointed the College's first president and the king stipulated that Reid should act as its president upon Mylne's absence, "to minister thair in quhill hes returning."[40] King James authorised William Stewart, Bishop of Aberdeen and Reid to negotiate a peace treaty with Henry VIII of England in February 1533 but it was 2 August 1534 before it was finally concluded.[41] Ferrerio later wrote that Bishop Stewart and Abbot Reid were the only men capable of getting a "peace surpassing all expectation from an angry nation" (England).[42] Reid was engaged in diplomatic work in France concerning the marriage of King James during 1535 and 1536, firstly with Marie de Bourbon and then with the sickly Madeleine, daughter of the French king.[43] James and Madeleine married at Nôtre-Dame Cathedral in Paris on 1 January 1537 but the new Queen died within months at Holyrood Palace.[44]
Reid was an envoy to Henry in 1541 and again in 1542 and on the latter instance was prevented from returning to the Scottish court and from writing to it until the preparations for war with Scotland were underway.[45] In November 1542, Henry VIII had revived the English assertion of the overlordship of Scotland.[46] King James died on 14 December 1542, and on 3 January 1543 James Hamilton, Earl of Arran, now heir presumptive, was appointed regent for the six-day-old Queen Mary. Arran, holding pro-English views, had Beaton arrested. It was against this backdrop that in March 1543, Reid was part of a gathering in Perth of like-minded nobles and churchmen who supported Beaton. It was agreed to send the bishop to meet Arran to call for the cardinal's release and for the ceasing of the circulation of English language versions of the New Testament, all of which were turned down.
Broughty Craig Castle
Arran called for a sitting of parliament in Edinburgh where despite his opposition to the regent's policies, Reid was appointed to the important Committee of the Articles.[4] Reid continued to represent Beaton in his dealings with Arran who, with parliament, affirmed the treaties of Greenwich by which Queen Mary would, when she reached the age of ten, marry Prince Edward of England. Arran immediately began to vacillate and came to an agreement with the cardinal, went back on the Greenwich treaties, and repudiated his reforming principles.[4] The pro-English lords led by the earls of Lennox and Angus met with Reid on 13 January 1544 and agreed to Beaton's terms allowing for a meeting with Regent Arran. The next day, on 17 January, the bishop was again meeting with Angus to finalise all remaining matters that existed between the earl and Arran.[47]
Cardinal David Beaton was assassinated in his castle of St Andrews on 28 May 1546. In response, Arran formed a small inner circle of four politicians to be readily available to him—Reid served on this council in June and July 1546 and then again in March 1547. He was also tasked with securing a doctor for Queen Mary and, it is thought, provided religious education to the monarch.[48] Following the death of Abbot Alexander Mylne in 1548, Reid was appointed the Lord President of the College of Justice, appearing for the first time on 24 February 1549.[49] The strategic Broughty Castle at the mouth of the River Tay had been in English hands since September 1547 but in February 1550 it had been retaken by a Joint French and Scottish force.[50][51] The military successes in 1549 and 1550 prompted Reid, in his role as President of the College of Justice, to ensure that foreigners (i.e. the English) did not take their money with them but should spend it on Scottish goods.[52] In the years 1550 to 1552, Reid was engaged in many legal and monetary matters but diplomatic duties were called on in 1552 when he was appointed one of the commissioners to negotiate a treaty with the young King Edward to end hostilities, define the border, the return of hostages and prisoners, and the exchange of criminals, among other things.[53] On 12 April 1554 when the dowager queen, Mary of Guise, became regent for her daughter, Reid, as Queen Mary's curator, presented the necessary documents to parliament for endorsement.[54][4] Again, Reid's ambassadorial experience was needed when, on 11 June 1557, he was one of the Scottish commissioners in Carlisle to treat for peace with England.[55] France and Spain were now at war and with Mary, Queen of England and wife of Philip of Spain, France feared an alliance of England and Spain on the battlefield—dowager Queen Mary of Guise and regent, was now pushing for Scotland to enter the war on the side of France. This was resisted by the Scottish nobles but after an overwhelming French defeat by Spain at St Quentin, in Picardy on 10 August 1557, the marriage between Mary, Queen of Scots and the Dauphin now took on greater urgency.[56]
Death[edit]
Memorial to Robert Reid in Church of St Jacques, Dieppe
In a letter dated 30 October 1557, Henry of France requested that the Scottish parliament send commissioners to prepare for the wedding of Queen Mary to the Dauphin of France—nine commissioners including Robert Reid were appointed to negotiate the wedding treaty.[57] [note 3] On 6 February 1558—the day that he embarked for France—Reid concluded his last will and testament that allowed for a sum of 8000 merks to be used for the formation of a college in Edinburgh.[note 4][note 5] Reid embarked on one of the ships of a small flotilla that had been assembled to transport the commissioners, personages with their horses and gifts for the wedding. The weather was poor and even before they had left Scottish waters, one of the ships transporting the horses foundered and sank—another ship whose master was a Captain Watterton was wrecked as it approached the French coast with the loss of many gentlemen and valuable cargo.[60] Reid and his fellow commissioner, the Earl of Rothes, were themselves shipwrecked near Boulogne and were rescued by a French fishing boat.[5] On 11 April Bishop Reid and his fellow commissioners agreed on the marriage contract that protected Scotland's rights—this contract prevailed despite an attempt by the French to subvert the final outcome by obtaining an agreement directly with Queen Mary to Scotland's detriment.[61] Mary's wedding took place on 24 April at Notre Dame Cathedral—the scene of her father's wedding to Madeline twenty-one years earlier.[62] An altercation took place between the council of France and the Scottish commissioners when the French demanded that the Regalia of Scotland be immediately sent to France so that the Dauphin could be crowned King of Scotland. Reid and his fellow commissioners refused by explaining that they had no mandate from the parliament of Scotland to agree to such terms.[63] Displeased with this response, the French king prepared a letter of persuasion to the regent that two of the commissioners would deliver. In the meantime, the other commissioners were kept back until the French were certain that the letter was successfully delivered—only at this point could Reid return to Scotland.[64] Reid arrived at Dieppe at the end of August and started for home, only to be driven back in a gale, but by this time the bishop and four other commissioners were very ill. They all died but Reid was the first on 6 September 1558 and was buried in the Chapel of St Andrew in the Church of St Jacques, in Dieppe.[65]
Explanatory notes[edit]
^ The pre-Reformation official of a diocese was a canon who was also a qualified lawyer trained in canon law and very often in civil law also. He was the judge of the bishop's consistorial court and there was generally no appeal to the bishop over his judgments. These courts dealt with questions relating to divorce, legitimacy, illegitimacy and dowry. Also, problems arising from intestacy, the interpretation of wills and their authenticity. At times, the court would hear cases relating to contracts made under oath. Hearings might also involve patronage, non-payment of tithes or dues, interference with church property, assaults on clerics and brawling in holy areas.
^ According to the Records of Kinloss, Reid was in possession of the priory in 1530.
^ On 14 December 1557, the commissioners chosen by parliament to negotiate the wedding treaty were:
James Beaton, Archbishop of Glasgow
Robert Reid, Bishop of Orkney (died, 6 September 1558)
David Panter, Bishop of Ross—Panter did not attend due to ill-health
George Leslie, Earl of Rothes (died, abt. 8 September 1558)
Gilbert Kennedy, Earl of Cassillis (died, 14 September 1558)
Lord James Fleming (died, 18 December 1558)
Lord George Seaton
James Stewart, (commendator) Prior of St Andrews—natural brother of the queen
John Erskin of Dun[58]
^ Bishop Reid's last will and testament stipulated that the college should consist of three schools: a grammar school, an arts school and a law school and should include chambers for the tutors.[59]
^ The curriculum in the schools was to avoid the existing norms of the universities with civil law to take precedence over canon law and the arts course to be more literature, poetry and oratory based.[4]

Going dark, reliably
: How Much Did I Love This Post? [+2]
: Pumping at Home [+3]

parodie: (no subject) [+1]

Rascal wasn't taking his bottles very well, at daycare. They actually called me at work.
The next day was the same. I was not very concerned.
When I picked him up, the teacher suggested that I start pumping at home, and try bottle-feeding him at home. I was stunned and full of fury, because pumping is awful and I like actually nursing him and...I mean. "You're pumping already at work, right?" she pressed on, "So you could do it at home, too?"
Rascal was screaming his head off. What I actually said, eventually, was "It's hard to think with him screaming..." and then I scrammed outta there.
The next morning they called me, again. "By mistake we poured one of his bottles of breast milk down the sink," they said. My eyes bugged out of my head, but since we were on the phone they may not have noticed. I took a deep breath and asked, "Could you call me when he finishes his last bottle of milk, so that I know roughly when to come get him?" They said sure.
(All that precious milk. Down the fucking tubes.)
They called at 3, so I left work at 4. When I got to daycare, the assistant said, "I was just about to give him these last 2 ounces of milk!" Yet a third time my anger flared. "I thought he finished his last bottle at 3?" I asked. "No, he started his last bottle at 3. He drank half of it."
I would have stayed at work another hour longer, and I sent steaming mad texts saying so, to Jammies.
Rascal and I had an extra hour. We ended up cuddling in the twilight, at home by ourselves. I really can't complain about a sequence of events that culminates that way. The whole week was like that: frustration that turns into something rather nice, like cuddling at sunset, while browsing ebay. (I have an ebay problem, lately.)
The next morning, they were super apologetic about having poured out the milk. I can't stay angry at someone who feels bad - it's like miracle powder. You feel bad? We're squarsies. Please don't feel bad anymore. Then I can file the incident away and be done with it.
Smile:
(I swear, one of my luckiest traits is a short memory for things that upset me. Sometimes I go back and read this journal, and little slights and wrongs just seem a hundred miles away.)
...ooo000OOO000ooo...
None of our kids are three years old! Isn't that nice? Babies and toddlers are nice, four and five year olds are nice, but three year olds are the WORST. We are in the eye of the hurricane, where nobody is three years old. It's lovely!
When people ask, rhetorically, how we find having four children, my pre-packaged answer is, "We've reached the level of our incompetence!" But actually, it feels a bit organized and reasonable. I think this is because none of our children are currently three years old.
Monday morning, post-workout, the minivan was totally dead. The dome lights wouldn't turn on, the key remote wouldn't work. I called Jammies, and he reminded me about the jump-box.
I got the jump-box, tried to hook it up, and failed. I called Jammies again. After dropping Hawaii off at school, he came to meet me.
We were both frazzled and upset. Several Geeblets were wailing. We had to decide which one of us would deliver and pick up of all the kids, and which of us would drive an unreliable vehicle, for the day and maybe the next and who knows. He gave the minivan a jump - somehow it worked from his truck - and I drove the unreliable vehicle to work. The electrical system flickered as I was driving, and when I parked, it went completely dark again.
That afternoon, I called campus cops for a jump. The very nice cop warned me against driving twenty miles to the Honda dealership in Heebieville, and recommended that I just take it somewhere local in SadTown. "Is there any shop that would also rent me a loaner car?" I asked her. She laughed. "No way!" I couldn't see how it was workable if I couldn't rent a car. (Insert something sanctimonious about how shitty it is that transportation failure is a catastrophic disaster if you're poor, for exactly reasons like inability to afford a rental car. I mean, the catastrophe is real, but my impulse to hector about it says more about me being a smug liberal than anything else.)
I drove back to Heebieville, trying to keep the air conditioning off, the music off, and generally tax the minivan as little as possible. I was sweating and mentally re-scheduling the afternoon according to where I might break down, and how long the tow truck might take.
I got to the Honda dealership. I know all the arguments against using a dealership. But the previous owners used this same dealership, and Jammies has a strong preference towards systems that keep everything organized and reliable. I turned off the minivan and it went dark, reliably.
This is the moment that is the point of the whole story: I was sweaty and panicky and relieved to be there. The very nice woman remembered me, personally, greeted me, reassured me. She sat me down on some leather chairs, in the air conditioning, and invited me to drink their coffee from a fancy Keurig machine and use their wi-fi. She told me not to worry about a rental car, until they had a chance to look at the minivan. (I'd been worrying about transferring and installing baby and kid car seats, and that sort of thing.)
So I sank into a leather chair, and got out my computer, and made myself some coffee, and that moment was itself so beautiful. So very pampered and soothed, when moments earlier I'd been sweaty and harried. I realized that is why you go to the Honda dealership, so that you might be pampered and soothed right when you're at your wits end.
(It turned out that a terminal was loose, on the negative side of the battery. That's why the jump box hadn't worked for me that morning - it hadn't gotten a proper connection with its smaller clamps. It cost us $30, total, and took all of 45 minutes.)
Let's have more smiles:
Funny things our friends' kids do:
1. The Ms have identical twin three year olds. Sometimes one of the twins will approach one of the parents and say, "Which one are you again?"
That amuses me so much, that the twins think this is a reasonable question that everybody asks everybody.
2. Our Christian-anarchist friends are kind of hard to describe, or maybe that sums them up. Their kids are lately very into facepaint, which is expensive. So they told the kids to switch to markers. Now the kids regularly draw all over their face and bodies - and I mean they are fully colored in, with marker.
It's hilarious but also one of those confronting things where you have to double-check whether or not you should permit such behavior in your own children. So I double-checked, and nope, markers are only to be used on paper in this house. Sorry, Geeblets.
I have many peasant blouses for work - most are hand-me-downs. It's a forgiving cut, if you're perpetually between pregnancies. I wore one on Wednesday. This particular one has a keyhole neckline. It lined up perfectly with the substantial cleavage, created by one particular nursing bra. I was mortified all day, and kept trying to shift it around and get the fabric to fall elsewhere. It was awful. (I hadn't worn this shirt with gigantic nursing breasts before.)
This story does not have an unexpectedly nice moment at the end, except that the day ended and I changed into pajamas. That's always nice.
This is an illustration from an otherwise-unremarkable children's book called Steam Train, Dream Train:
These beds are part of the train. The idea of sleeping in a bed which is being pulled by a train is terribly enchanting to me. The ultimate luxury.
We had some very warm days. My yearly springtime ennui threatened. It's not the blues so much as somberness. The first whiff of spring and warmth makes me serious and solemn.
It's this: summer feels like the end of the environmental cycle, when everything bakes and dies. When all the animals seek shade and hide. All the people have to fight against the heat. I spend lots of time by myself. Mid-summer is the height of oppressive, deadly weather. It's isolating and serious, but not exactly bad. I like being isolated and serious.
Then fall is a time of rejuvenation, when everyone comes back to life and feels like moving again.
I drove past these trees full of bird's nests:
I was stopped at a stoplight, the trees behind me. You can't see the birds' nests, but I still like the photo.
That's a little better - all those brown dots are birds' nests.
I don't hate the summers, exactly. (Except September. I hate September.) But they require endurance. When the weather first turns warm, in the spring, it's like the first time you apply the breaks after you've been cruising. "Tail lights? Is that...?" and then as you're braking, you find yourself in a long, hot traffic jam. For July, August, and September. This analogy is awfully inapt.
Ace is the cutest. She echoes everything, like all the names of the wildcats on the website of big and small wild cats. (Pokey is a cheetah, a puma, a cougar, a lynx, etc on various days. He does know that cougars are a type of puma, so keep that to yourself.) Ace runs down the hallway, wobbling from side to side in that toddling 20-month old way.
She's the cutest!
A nice cheetah/puma/cougar/lynx, sometimes named Sven, who sometimes can't talk:
Those are the boots, wranglers, and belt from the country wedding last fall. Tch, tch.
The other day he wore his white button down shirt, because he was playing that he was going to work in an office. That was pretty cute all day.
Jammies feels strongly that the trash can and recycling bin have fixed spots, outside. Five years ago, I would have switched these, as often as possible. In order to see how long Jammies would silently rearrange them before saying something about it. It would have been funny to me.
It still seems funny, but now I'd never actually do it. Too tired? More mature? Less obnoxious? It's hard to say.
On Thursday, Jammies went on his annual ski trip, except they are golfing instead, and Mimi came to stay for the weekend. So I am enjoying a quiet Valentine's Day with my mother-in-law. It is lacking romance, but pleasant in other ways.
This one saved this shirt for half a year, in order to wear it to school for her Valentines Day party. I was impressed that she remembered to pull it out.
Ace actually colors very carefully, given how stubby and chubby those little hands are:
I was impressed.

How Much Did I Love This Post?
I was smiling most of the way through this post.
Well, the car trouble part did make me anxious and worried for you -- but that had a happy ending!
And everything else had me smiling like crazy. Your kids are just so lovely. Those babies! Hawaii and her shirt!
The story about the twins literally made me laugh out loud.
Re: How Much Did I Love This Post?
Huh. That was me, delagar. Why does your blog think I'm Anonymous?
I am not Anonymous!
Aw, you are the best commenter. Thank you.
Pumping at Home
I really hope you don't wind up having to pump at home. It's awful to have to be tied to the wall like that.
Ava won't nurse during the day and will instead bite me with her two new teeth so I don't experiment too much. Today I pumped because it was really painful to go 10 hours without relief. She was of course hungry, but not willing to nurse, so I had to pump milk and then hand it to her in a bottle to drink. Ridiculous!
Re: Pumping at Home
Rascal got it together on the bottle. :) Although I can't imagine I would have pumped at home. Just, no. So something would have worked out eventually.
Ow on the teeth! Would you believe that I've never nursed a baby with teeth? Ours all didn't get teeth until they were nearly a year, and already weaned.
Wow, that's a long time without teeth! Does that mean they had to eat purees for that long? Ava's top tooth is coming in and I'm hoping it means she will be able to eat things with more texture. She's still biting, so I might have to pump on the weekends until I can wean at one year.
Nope, their gums are super hard, so they can mash surprisingly well without having teeth. Anything in the ballpark of cheerios, corn, etc ends up being fine around that age. Mostly they can't tear something off, so it just has to be pre-cut or little.
Oh god, eBay. I totally get it.
I feel like Rascal looks more obviously like you than the other kids did at that age? Or, he reminds me of someone, and I assume it must be you!
Me again.
I was so late to the game on eBay - just slow to realize that it might be fun to idly browse really cheap shit that I want. But wow.
Also, he may! I think he's got my rounder features, too, although Jammies' coloring. He may even have red hair.

The kid pictures are so cute, and the twilight snuggling sounds lovely, but I still feel rage on your behalf for the whole bottle-feeding fiasco. I hope they have figured out a solution that doesn't involve encouraging you to bottle-feed instead of nursing him? (!!!)
It's so strange, as a northern person, to hear about how the coming of summer fills you with dread. To me summer sounds like warm weather, and warm weather is always a good thing - but I can (just barely) imagine that a season of dead nature and needing to avoid being outside would be difficult. I guess any weather that requires substantial accommodations becomes tedious after a while, the way a small snowfall is charming in November and unbearable by March. This kind of sharing of perspectives is, incidentally, one of my favourite things about the internet. Learning things is interesting!
I didn't have the summer-ennui for a long time. But now it's solidly paired with isolation as well - a ton of our friends are teachers who bolt all summer long, and no one is around at school. I still find it pretty, actually - tan straw and brown colors against a blue sky - but so very dead and vaguely hostile. Cows and livestock huddled around one isolated tree for shade, that sort of thing.
babybabybaby, maybe already here, baby baby!

Your kids are so cute and getting so big - at least the ones that I've met,which really shouldn't surprise me as much as it does given that my kids are also getting so big. Oh god three is the worst! I've heard that it's the terrible twos and the f'n threes. I'm actually pretty intrigued by the Christian anarchist friends!
Summer is the most wonderful season in Seattle after we get through the June gloom. This past weekend was amazing too, sunny 50s kite flying weather - just so glad not to live in the Midwest or Massachusetts anymore! The park 2 blocks from my apartment has amazing views of the Olympic mountains, the sound, and downtown Seattle
Terrible twos and the f'n threes - TRUTH. The xtian anarchists are actually from your town, although they've been here maybe 3-4 years. They're great. Thoughtful, nice, and a bit crazy.

The leadership team of Green Home Solutions includes technical and business professionals who understand that being a successful indoor air quality company takes excellent vision and dedication combined with specialized knowledge and technical expertise.
A self-proclaimed "serial entrepreneur," Russ Weldon has been starting and building successful enterprises since he was a teenager.
In 1988, convinced that wireless would become a multi-billion dollar business, Weldon launched The Car Phone Store, which would later become Wireless Zone, a 450-store chain generating a half billion dollars in annual revenues. After selling Wireless Zone in 2012, Weldon began looking for his next opportunity.
Russ sought another ground floor opportunity in an emerging, yet commercially marketable space. One of the opportunities that caught his attention was the need for environmentally-preferred products to improve indoor air quality. Russ formed Green Home Solutions realizing that if he could run the company as a "Green" service business, he could recreate what had happened with wireless technology.
It didn't take long, however, for Russ to realize that this was much more than just another business opportunity.
"Here we have indoor solutions that can really change someone's quality of life by removing mold and allergens from the air." In the process, he knows that Green Home Solutions is creating opportunities for others to follow in his entrepreneurial footsteps.

We must find vehicles for creating a team with the anxious one's energy, the reflective ones leadership, and the relaxed one's capacity to receive, appreciate and enjoy.
A team needs: leadership, warm and inviting energy, capable and committed members, respectful and caring relationships, a willingness to join together to collaborate, a desire for creativity and a valuing of insight and vision. Add to that a shared agenda and shared goals, a legitimate voice for each member and success in achieving its goals, and we have an effective team.
To harness the anxious one's energy requires a recognition of its potential by all the team members. They must also value the relaxed one's capacity to appreciate and the reflective one's leadership. Courage is needed to dare to go near the chaotic and frenetic forces that can get going in your system because they intimidate, distort and turn off any desire to go near them, say nothing of teaming up with them.
However, you don't have evil forces, they are anxious ones. They frighten by their intensity and their out-of-control momentum, but their motivation is survival and protection, coupled with caring, desire, good will, and a need dtomake something happen now.
Fortunately, you are more than able to go toward these forces and calm them, listen to them, respond to them, harness them and become a team leader of and with them.
The irony, anxiety has fear as its source, and going toward it means facing your fear of your fear, yet, you really are not afraid of yourself. It is an old pattern of a bullied and frightened child. Even then, you needed to fear others, not yourself. Even when you were reckless or heedless, you were caught in a childhood trap. Now every spot in your psyche is a friend and every force, other than damaged brain spots, is capable and desirous of integrity and accountability. Even disabled, you've got a great inner world and wonderful re-claimed processing ability. The trick is still to find your courage and wisdom, caring and desire in the face of fear and the maze of the unpredictability of damaged brain power.
This brain is working its buns off to recover its capacity for integrity and your system is responding well.
It's really a tiring and relentless process, but, the truth be known, it's more than worth it, so none of us can get stingy at this point. We all have to pay our dues so we can reap the wonder of reconciling gift with curse and coming up with shaded but glorious gifts.

The Managing Director of Africa's largest online hotel booking platform Jovago, Marek Zmyslowski has stated that e-commerce is the key driving innovation factor for mobile payments in Nigeria.
In a statement made on a panel for Mobile Payment Solutions for the Nigerian Market at the on-going Nigeria Com Conference, which Marek Zmyslowski attended yesterday at the Oriental Hotel, he said that E-commerce in Nigeria has experienced a boom with the likes of Jumia and Kaymu entering the market. With the increasing Internet access, more affordable data costs, mobile connectivity and the convenience of purchasing goods and services online, more Nigerians are beginning to embrace the culture of transacting business online.
As Zmyslowski noted, with the increase in more people purchasing goods online, booking hotels online and transacting other forms of business online, mobile payment is on a steady rise. He further added "this is why at Jovago.com, we are constantly innovating with better and more secure forms of mobile payment. In July we launched the Mpesa mobile payment platform for our customers in Kenya and the SimplePay was rolled out in August to aid mobile payment for our Nigerian customers."
With the recent entry of PayPal into the Nigerian market and with players like Mastercard and Interswitch already competing to provide secure online payments, it will only be a matter of time before Nigerians come to totally embrace the culture of paying for goods and services online.

Королева Сільвія (), від народження Сільвія Рената Зоммерлат (,  23 грудня 1943, Гайдельберг, Баден-Вюртемберг, Німеччина) — королева Швеції, дружина короля Швеції Карла XVI Густава.

Біографія
Донька німецького підприємця Вальтера Зоммерлата і бразилійки Аліс Зоммерлат, уродженої з прізвищем де Толедо.
Сільвія багато років жила в бразильському місті Сан-Паулу, де її батько був представником шведської фірми. Після того, як сім'я Зоммерлат повернулася з Бразилії до Німеччини, Сільвія вступила на навчання до Мюнхенського інституту перекладачів і в 1969 році закінчила його як перекладачка з іспанської мови.

For more than 40 years, nuclear energy has powered millions of New Jersey homes and businesses with clean, safe, reliable and affordable electricity.
Today, PSEG's nuclear plants at Salem and Hope Creek have become an indispensable part of the state's energy mix – providing nearly half of the 24/7 supply of power generated in New Jersey – power that is essential to New Jersey's economy and environment.
Nuclear is an important part of a diverse energy mix that also includes natural gas and renewables. And fuel diversity is important. Nuclear provides nearly 50 percent of the electricity generated in New Jersey. Putting all of our eggs in one fuel basket increases reliability risk leaving New Jersey vulnerable to supply disruptions (due to accidents or shortages) and sharp price fluctuations. Fuel diversity helps keep customers' lights on and bills affordable.
Nuclear energy supports New Jersey's economy. Businesses require a reliable, around-the-clock supply of affordable energy to stay up and running. But our nuclear plants also contribute jobs and stimulate the economy – supporting more than 4,000 direct, indirect and contractor jobs in Salem County, as well as tens of millions of dollars' worth of purchases and taxes each year to suppliers and government throughout the state.
Finally, Nuclear is clean and air pollution-free. Nuclear energy today provides 97 percent of clean energy generated in New Jersey. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, nuclear energy significantly reduces pollutants that cause acid rain, toxic particulates and ozone smog – which contribute to chronic health conditions such as asthma and pulmonary disease. That's good for public health.
And nuclear in New Jersey emits no carbon. If we had to replace our nuclear plants with generation fueled by gas and coal it would increase the release of 14 million tons of carbon dioxide– equal to 3 million more cars on the road.
Solar is also clean, but this is a relatively young industry that, for now, cannot meet New Jersey's 24/7 energy demands (solar currently provides less than 2 percent of the energy generated in the state). PSEG has invested more than $1 billion in solar but, because of technological and economic hurdles, the state is still decades from when solar can match nuclear's output – an around-the-clock energy supply, enough for 2.7 million New Jersey homes.
Today, a group of stakeholders that share a common goal in support of nuclear energy, have launched a website, NJ Needs Nuclear, to help educate the public about the tremendous benefits that nuclear brings to the state – its critical contributions to the state's economy, to our clean air, and to our customers' needs for safe, affordable and reliable electricity.
I encourage you to check it out and learn more about why NJ Needs Nuclear.
Fossil fuels contain carbon; not a green energy source. Also, fossil fuels are a finite amount. Nuclear is both clean and limitless in comparison.
Nuclear waste is not pollution free.
That's the issue with corporate leaders today you will spin facts for profit.
Nuclear power is an excellent alternative to fossil fuels and I support it.
All nuclear power plants need to shut down. They are ticking time bombs. They are polluting the earth with radioactive waste and one bad accident can kill millions.
I believe in Nuclear Energy. That said, I'm sure that PSEG is benifitting and not passing the savings to the user, as their rates show they are Much Higher than power providers in other states..
