If these walls could talk
Welcome to the heart of Tórshavn, welcome to Katrina Christiansen. If these walls could talk, we would learn the secrets of old Tórshavn. Sections of this house date back to the start of the 18th century, perhaps even earlier. Several of its occupants made it into the history books, though not its original owner. We cannot say for certain who built it.
We do know that from 1707 this was a barbershop run by Hans Albertsen Matras. Unsurprisingly, it was first known as Bartskerisstova, the Barber's Place. Business appears to have been good. Three different barbers carried on the trade through the 18th century, and they all lived here with their families.
In 1784 most houses in Tórshavn were valued. Bartskerisstova was at the time estimated to be worth 170 guilder.
In 1817, however, the house changed name to Skálahús, Skála House. This was when it was taken over by young Niels Niklason Skaale, originally from the village Skála. He opened a general store here specialising in selling woollen socks and stockings.
The floors always carry the story of a building. Look around. On the ground floor you will see that the house was expanded. Go up the stairs and you will find that the floors bear marks of former walls.
And, though the walls may not talk, they can still tell us something. The wallboards on the ground floor are vertical, while on first floor they are horizontal. This indicates when they were put up. The ground floor dates from 1800 and the first floor is from approximately 1900.
Shopkeeper Andreas William Restorff moved into this house with his family around the year 1870, and turned it into the largest general store in the Faroe Island. He had the building expanded, renovated and fitted with all the latest conveniences.
In 1901 Zacharias Heinesen took over the by then well established store and renamed it Hjá Heinesen, Heinesen's. The couple Zacharias and Carolina Jakobina Heinesen filled their new home with music and creative pursuits alongside keeping shop. For this, literary history is thankful, they sowed the seed of William Heinesen's literary genius.
GB] William Heinesen was Zacharis and Carolina's youngest son. He grew into the most widely recognised Faroese author. Of course, though he is best known for his novels, he was an artist of many talents: a poet, a painter and creator of many iconic vivid paper cuttings.
As you climb the narrow stairs to the second floor, the first thing you will see is an early work by William Heinesen. Keep going. There is more. There is a room on this floor named after one of William Heinesen's masterpieces, The Tower at the Edge of the World. It is not hard to imagine why, just look out the door. It certainly looks like the lighthouse in Nólsoy is at the edge of the world.
The toilet
Every room here has its own story, even the toilet. Notice how the floor looks a little charred. Well, William Heinesen was the first to set fire to the old wooden house. As a toddler, in 1905, he played with fire and accidently caused extensive damage.
On the first floor you can see partly burned wooden boards. Timber was scarce in the Faroe Islands, so parts of the salvageable material were used to rebuild.
The second fire blackened the toilet floor. It occurred around 1950 and was caused by a kerosene pump that was knocked over. Kerosene spilled onto the floor and a spark set it ablaze.
The pump
Hjá Heinesen was fitted with a kerosene pump, as people would come from near and far to get kerosene to light up their homes.
The store carried everything from kerosene to clothes, toys to food, along with the other household staples. It was the period's equivalent of a shopping centre. The pump is still on display next to the main entrance. Another itemon display is a painting next to the window in Privaten. It depicts that same view centuries ago.
Katrina Christiansen
The restaurant here today is, of course, called Katrina Christiansen. That is not by chance. Katrina Christiansen initially worked for Zacharias Heinesen, but later took over the store. She was hardworking, tenacious and passionate about her store. A photo of Katrina Christansen and Zacharias Heinesen overlooks the counter.
While you are at the counter on the ground floor, take an extra look, it is made out of old banana boxes.
Last shopkeeper
Katrina's son, Haldór Christansen, was the last of the shopkeepers here. He used to walk around with his costumers and with his quick head for numbers, he would tell them the sum of their basket in the blink of an eye. Changing shopping habits and new stores meant that the shop served its last costumer in 2005.
But the house holds the memory of its keepers. On the first floor you will find a display case with some of Haldór Christansen's personal items, including his mark book and graduation cap.
Verkstaðið
There are many nooks and crannies to explore here. The basement is home to Verkstaði, The Workshop. You will have to sneak behind the desk on the ground floor to find it. It houses an original lathe William Heinesen used to work at. Notice the size of this room. Compare it to the rest of the house. This is the foundation of the building, and also its oldest section.
It is a privilege to be serving our guests in this atmospheric setting. With its rich detail, this is as much a museum as a restaurant. We have tried to preserve everything in as close to its original condition as possible. Please enjoy and explore this old house. The waiting staff would be delighted to answer any questions you may have.

"Far West and Adam-ondi-Ahman," Revelations in Context
D&C 115, 116, 117
Jacob W. Olmstead
During the final months of 1837, apostasy began to affect the Church in Kirtland, Ohio. Many Latter-day Saints were disillusioned by heavy financial losses as a result of the collapse of the Kirtland Safety Society and began to reject the Prophet's temporal and spiritual leadership. Among the dissenters were several members of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and Seventies, as well as the Three Witnesses to the Book of Mormon plates. In January 1838, as a result of this widespread apostasy and threats of violence, Joseph Smith and Sidney Rigdon received divine instruction to abandon their labors in Kirtland and to flee to Far West, Missouri. Although the revelation pronounced Joseph's labors "finished in this place," leaving Kirtland meant parting not only from their homes, but from the Church's largest stake and its first and only temple. Nevertheless, Joseph and Sidney were admonished to "arise and get yourselves on to a land which I shall show unto you even a land flowing with milk and honey."1
As they approached Far West after a "long & tedious journey," Joseph and Sidney were met by the Missouri Saints "with open armes and warm hearts welcomed us to the bosom of their sosciety."2 But news of internal divisions threatening the Church in Far West quickly put a damper on the joyful reunion. Four days prior to the Prophet's March 14 arrival, the Far West stake high council excommunicated an unrepentant William W. Phelps and John Whitmer, both counselors in the Missouri stake presidency. The two were accused of profiting from the sale of land intended for the gathering of the Saints to Far West and also for their part in the presidency's selling of property in Jackson County contrary to previous revelation. The high council had not taken action against David Whitmer, president of the Missouri stake presidency, or assistant president Oliver Cowdery on additional charges. Instead, they waited until after Joseph's arrival to address this unpleasant item of business. Both Whitmer and Cowdery were excommunicated in early April 1838.
Finding a Place for the Kirtland Saints
Far West grew to become the principal Mormon settlement in Missouri following the Saints' displacement from Clay and Ray Counties beginning in mid-1836. At the time of Joseph's arrival in 1838, Far West had a population of 4,900 with "150 homes, four dry goods stores, three family groceries, several blacksmith shops, two hotels, a printing shop, and a large schoolhouse that doubled as a church and a courthouse."3 Finding affordable settlement lands for the anticipated arrival of a large influx of impoverished Kirtland Saints to Missouri became an immediate priority. On April 26, 1838, a revelation—now Doctrine and Covenants 115—provided some direction to the First Presidency, bishopric, and high council in Far West. In addition to urging the continued development of Far West and the construction of a temple there, the revelation directed "that other places should be appointed for stakes in the regions round about as they shall be manifested unto my Servant Joseph from time to time."4
Availability of inexpensive land guided Church leaders as they looked for these "other places" to create new stakes in the region. Although considerable portions of Caldwell County remained unsettled, the land had been surveyed, making it no longer subject to preemption laws. These laws allowed settlers to secure and improve unsurveyed lands without initial payment. Under preemption, those without sufficient means could work secured lands for profit and then be given the first rights to purchase the land after it was surveyed and went on sale from the federal government. Newly created and unsurveyed Daviess County, situated immediately north of Caldwell County, appealed to Church leaders as a potential gathering place for impoverished Saints in northern Missouri.5
On May 18, 1838, Joseph Smith led a group of Church leaders including Sidney Rigdon, Thomas B. Marsh, and David W. Patten (all of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles), Bishop Edward Partridge, and others to the "north countries for the purpose of Laying off stakes of Zion, making Locations & laying claims for the gathering of the Saints for the benefit of the poor, and for the upbuilding of the Church of God."6 The company traveled northward into Daviess County for several days to the Grand River region, which Joseph Smith's clerk George W. Robinson described as "large[,] beautifull[,] deep." During their expedition, the party found a land with "plenty" of wild game including "Deer, Turkey, Hens, Elk, &c." and prairies thickly covered with grass.7 The land was indeed "flowing with milk and honey."8
The Place Where Adam Shall Come
While the natural abundance of the land in Daviess County provided for the temporal needs of the gathering Saints, revelation also directed the Saints to a place of great spiritual significance. As Joseph, Sidney, and George W. Robinson searched for a location to establish a settlement community near the Grand River, they came to a prominent knoll called Spring Hill. On this trip, Joseph received the revelation known today as Doctrine and Covenants 116, which identified the region as Adam-ondi-Ahman, "because said he it is the place where Adam shall come to visit his people, or the Ancient of days shall sit, as spoken of by Daniel the Prophet."9
The Saints knew of Adam-ondi-Ahman from previous revelations to Joseph Smith, which were published several years earlier in the 1835 edition of the Doctrine and Covenants. In what is now Doctrine and Covenants 107, the Lord explained that during Adam's final years, he called his righteous posterity to "the valley of Adam-ondi-Ahman," where he "bestowed upon them his lasting blessing." The revelation further explained that the Lord "appeared unto them" and "administered comfort unto Adam." Being "full of the Holy Ghost," Adam prophesied concerning his posterity "unto the latest generation."10 In addition to references in the Doctrine and Covenants, the phrase had become a regular part of Mormon worship services through a hymn composed by William W. Phelps titled "Adam-ondi-Ahman."11 This hymn was included in the first Latter-day Saint hymnal, compiled by Emma Smith and published in the early months of 1836,12 and the Saints sang this hymn during the Kirtland Temple dedication.13
The new revelation concerning Adam-ondi-Ahman suggested a significant role for Adam in the events preceding the Lord's Second Coming. Elaborating on Daniel's vision of the Ancient of Days (see Daniel 7:9, 13–14), Joseph Smith later explained that "all that have had the Keys must Stand before him [Adam] in this grand Council. … The Son of Man [Christ] Stands before him & there is given him glory & dominion.—Adam delivers up his stewardship to Christ, that which was delivered to him as holding the Keys of the Universe, but retains his standing as head of the human family."14
Gathering to Adam-ondi-Ahman
By revealing the location of Adam-ondi-Ahman to Joseph Smith, the Lord imbued the land in Daviess County with a spiritual history as well as a spiritual future. At a time when the development of the kingdom of God upon the earth appeared on the brink of collapse as a result of apostasy and displacement, this revelation reminded Joseph and the Saints of their place in an unfolding sacred history. Church leaders were no longer solely working to establish a place for refugee Kirtland Saints and others desiring to gather, but they were also engaged in the gathering of the righteous to the location where Adam would one day turn over his stewardship to the Lord prior to the Second Coming.
Upon Joseph's return to Far West on May 21, 1838, he immediately held a council "to consult the bretheren upon the subject of our journey to know whether it is wisdom to go immediately into the north country … to secure the land on grand river." After the brethren expressed their feelings on the subject, "the question was put by Prest Smith and carried unanymously in favour of having the land secured on the river and between this place and Far West."15 Five weeks later, on June 28, 1838, with Joseph Smith acting as chair, the Adam-ondi-Ahman stake of Zion was organized with John Smith called as president.16 John Smith's second counselor and one of the first Latter-day Saint settlers in Daviess County, Lyman Wight, wrote: "This beautiful country with its flattering prospects drew in floods of emigrants. I had not less than thirty comers and goers through the day during the three summer months." By October, Wight recorded that "upwards of two hundred houses" had been built in Adam-ondi-Ahman with "forty families living in their wagons."17
"The More Weighty Matters"
Despite the establishment of this new stake of Zion and the call to settle in northern Missouri, some found it difficult to abandon their homes in Kirtland. Finally, during the summer months of 1838, most of the loyal Saints remaining in Kirtland began to make their way to Missouri. Notably absent from the parties of incoming Saints were William Marks and Newel K. Whitney, a Kirtland bishop and wealthy businessman. The pair initially neglected to gather with the main body of the Church in Missouri in order to settle their business affairs in Kirtland. The two struggled with abandoning the temporal security their businesses and property provided.
On July 8, 1838, Joseph Smith received a revelation (now Doctrine and Covenants 117) directed to Marks and Whitney commanding them to "come forth, and not tarry." The revelation called Marks to "preside in the midst of my people in the City Far West," presumably as the new president of the Missouri stake presidency. As for Whitney, the revelation directed him to "come up unto the land of Adam-ondi-Ahman, and be a bishop unto my people."18 Using the imagery of Adam's ancient homeland and the infinite blessings promised to Adam's posterity, the revelation queried: "Is there not room enough upon the mountains of Adam-ondi-Ahman, and upon the plains of Olaha Shinehah, or in the land where Adam dwelt, that you should … covet that which is but the drop, and neglect the more weighty matters?"19 Oliver Granger was designated to settle all the Church's accounts in Kirtland, and he delivered a letter to Marks and Whitney containing the revelation. In the letter, the First Presidency expressed confidence in the pair's willingness to obey the revelation and to "act accordingly."20 Obedient to the instruction, both Marks and Whitney forsook their possessions in Kirtland. Eventually they joined with the main body of the Saints to attend to the "more weighty matters" of administering to the needs of the Saints.
Throughout the summer of 1838, the Saints continued to gather to Far West, Adam-ondi-Ahman, and other Mormon settlements in northern Missouri. In accordance with the command to build up Far West, on July 4, 1838, cornerstones were laid for a temple in that community. Soon a site had also been selected for a temple in Adam-ondi-Ahman. However, the peace and abundance the Saints enjoyed in northern Missouri was short-lived. Simmering mistrust and suspicion between Missourians and Latter-day Saints erupted violently in August 1838. A series of armed conflicts known as the Missouri-Mormon War culminated with the imprisonment of Joseph Smith and the expulsion of the Latter-day Saints from Missouri. After the expulsion of the Saints from their state, Missourians immediately swooped in to lay claim to the Mormon lands and improvements. Although they would go on to establish another covenant community and build a beautiful temple in Nauvoo, the Saints maintained a hope that they would one day return to reclaim these sacred lands in Missouri prior to the Second Coming.

In electrochemistry, it's common to use a microdisk as the working electrode in an analytical technique known as cyclic voltammetry. However, unlike with a macroelectrode, diffusion at a microelectrode occurs very fast on the timescale of the experiment. To simplify the analysis, we can use an approximation that assumes the microdisk has stationary diffusion properties on the timescale of the voltammetry study — eliminating the need for a time-dependent model.
Cyclic voltammetry is an electrochemical technique in which the potential is swept repeatedly — for example, between a start and end potential — and the resulting currents are measured. What makes voltammetry beneficial in many systems is the diversity of information a single scan can provide about the system's behavior, such as the absorption-desorption process at the electrode surface.
Engineers use different types of electrodes, including microdisk electrodes, as the working electrode in cyclic voltammetry. A microdisk electrode is a disk electrode with a radius of the order of microns that is embedded in an insulator whose surface is flush with the electrode. Due to their small size, microdisk electrodes have diffusion layers, which are large in comparison with their size, and small overall currents, which help them achieve steady-state conditions. The smaller the electrode, the less time it takes to attain a steady state. They also have high scan rates with limited distortion. The advantage of using smaller-sized electrodes to study voltammetry is that they have mass transport properties that can maximize the current density — enabling scientists to observe electrochemical behavior that just wouldn't be possible to see on a macroelectrode.
Along with the working electrode with which the solution is probed, a standard cyclic voltammetry experiment uses a cell fitted with a counter electrode, which completes the circuit, and a reference electrode, which is not polarized, so its potential is assumed to be constant. Using the reference electrode potential, the electrode potential of the working or counter electrode can be measured. A supporting electrolyte is added to increase the conductivity of the solution.
The microdisk electrode is the working electrode, with a counter electrode positioned at a relatively large distance. The reference electrode is connected to the working electrode over a high-impedance voltmeter, while the current between the working and counter electrodes is measured over a low-impedance amperometer. The potentiostat varies the potential over the cell. In modern potentiostats, the voltmeter and amperometer are built in.
The cyclic voltammetry system consists of a potentiostat, which keeps the working electrode potential at a constant level relative to the reference electrode; a current-to-voltage converter; and a data acquisition system that generates the voltammogram. A cyclic voltammogram can have many different shapes and is characterized by plotting current density against applied potential. In the case of a single reversible electrode reaction measured using a planar electrode, the graph takes on a "double peak" shape. However, the shape of the graph depends on the electrode and the composition of the electrolyte.
The double-peaked shape of a typical cyclic voltammogram.
The model consists of a 2D axisymmetric domain. The Infinite Element domain feature in the COMSOL Multiphysics® software is used to extend the bulk solution of the concentric region to infinity. This is a suitable approximation, since we're assuming that the electrochemical cell is several orders of magnitude larger than the electrode.
A schematic of the microdisk electrode model geometry with surrounding electrolyte. Note that the configuration is flipped upside-down compared to the cell in the first figure. In this case, the electrode surface is facing upward while the figure above shows the electrode surface facing downward (the norm in real configurations). Gravity is not accounted for in the model, so in this context, the flipping does not matter for the model results.
As mentioned above, we add a supporting electrolyte to increase the conductivity of the electrolyte. As a significant amount of supporting electrolyte has been added, it can be assumed that the electrolyte potential is a constant, and in this case, set to φl = 0. To simulate the electrochemistry of this situation, we use the Electroanalysis interface, which implements the chemical species transport equations for the reactant and product species of the redox couple. The diffusion equation describes the chemical transport of electroactive species A and B at a steady state.
Next, we apply boundaries to the bulk, insulating the surface, electrode, and species as well as accounting for the electrochemical processes involved. Species A, for instance, is reactant at the electrode boundary and when it is oxidized, it loses an electron and forms the product B.
After the boundary equations are implemented, we set up the study. In this example, we don't need to perform a time-dependent analysis. This is because we use a common approximation where we assume the microelectrode has stationary diffusion properties on the timescale. The steady-state result is accurate, which means we can use a stationary study. We use a parametric sweep to get current densities at the potentials applied in the voltammetric sweep under the quasistatic approximation.
The plot below shows the stationary concentration profile around a microdisk electrode (note the distinct shape of the 2D cross section). The concentration profile is hemispherical at large distances from the electrode, but the flux is elevated close to the disk edge. For fast kinetics, the concentrations on the electrode surface are uniform, leading to a slightly nonuniform flux distribution over the electrode's surface, which means that the reaction is also slightly nonuniformly distributed.
The concentration profile for transport-controlled oxidation of species A at a microdisk electrode. Note that we have rotational symmetry at r = 0. The streamlines show that the flux, hence the reaction rate at the microdisk electrode surface (highlighted in gray), is slightly higher at its edge (right) compared to the center (left).
Next, we can examine the cyclic voltammogram that shows the relation between the electrode kinetics and diffusion, or chemical species transport, where the current density is limiting.
The steady-state cyclic voltammetry recorded at a microdisk electrode.
The current density becomes limiting because of the finite rate of diffusion. It is 0 (not limiting) when E < Eeq. At E < Eeq, only reduction is possible, and since there are no oxidized species in the electrolyte, nothing happens. When the oxidation reaction accelerates so that it's fast enough to consume a significant reactant at the electrode surface, the current becomes limited by the rate of transport A toward the working electrode. This transport-limited current is constant in time, since the diffusion layer is equilibrated.
We don't see negative current for the voltammetry for the steady state because the product species is dispersed to the bulk solution. Equilibration between the bulk and the electrode surface is achieved due to the fast diffusion on the timescale. The reaction is therefore always oxidative because of the absence of product in the bulk electrolyte.

KINSTON, N.C. — As Hurricane Florence churned toward the North Carolina coast Wednesday, Gov. Roy Cooper tripled down on a warning he's been issuing for days: Get out of this storm's way.
"This monster of a storm is not one to ride out," Cooper said from the steps of the state Department of Public Safety's emergency management staging site in eastern North Carolina.
That message came on the heels of the governor's morning hurricane briefing from Raleigh and only hours before he would travel back to the state's capital for another press conference and more warnings.
But in Kinston — a town of nearly 21,000 people living 30 miles of west of New Bern, where the Neuse River widens on its way to the Outer Banks — the governor's urgent warning went largely unheeded.
Poverty is an anchor for many in Kinston, home to some of North Carolina's most economically distressed neighborhoods despite its budding reputation as a food destination.
Kinston resident Ben Knight watched Wednesday as a small team of workers fastened sheets of plywood to the windows of Chef & the Farmer — a nationally renowned restaurant in the heart of downtown that Knight owns with his wife Vivian Howard.
Knight said he'd elected to stay behind while Howard and their children headed west, out of Florence's reach.
Tony Clower, 39, falls firmly within that camp. The 12-year Kinston resident is homeless.
Clower said he thinks others in Kinston should heed Cooper's warning, advice he said he'd follow if he could.
Jasper Newborn, who runs the city's only emergency homeless shelter, said that on any given night, he'll house about 15 people, but that "represents less than 10 percent of the city's homeless population." The rest, he said, sleep on the street or wherever else they can find shelter.
Natural disasters, Newborn said, most adversely impact the city's most vulnerable population: The indigent.
And as Hurricane Florence looms, he said he's worried what will happen to the city's homeless residents who decide not to seek refuge. Friends of the Homeless, the shelter which Newborn founded in 1990, only has 35 beds, but he said he won't be turning anybody away during the storm.
Clower said he planned to weather the storm in a small wooden shed in which a friend was letting him live.
Kinston has a 30 percent poverty rate, according to 2015 U.S. Census data – nearly double that of North Carolina as a whole.
A 2014 study by the Center for Urban & Regional Studies at UNC-Chapel Hill found a Census tract within Kinston to be the state's most distressed among rural areas for its poverty rate, per capita income and unemployment.
The burdensome economic impact of evacuation doesn't strictly impact the homeless.
In east Kinston, not far from one of the city's subsidized housing developments, Michael Weathington, 53, sat waiting for a ride on the porch of his home — a humble abode of whitewashed wooden siding beneath a rust-tinged metal roof.
Weathington said he witnessed Hurricane Matthew, and as far as he's concerned he can live through another hurricane just as well, even if Florence is supposed to be bigger and more dangerous.
But he, like Clower, would struggle to leave even if he wanted to.
At least two emergency shelters have opened in or near Kinston to house those who might be displaced by the storm.
Travis Quinn, director of sales for Kinston's Mother Earth Brewing, has lived in eastern North Carolina his whole life. He grew up in Kenansville, a small town about 45 mins south of Kinston, where he now lives.
Quinn is no stranger to hurricanes, and while he isn't evacuating, he said he and the brewery staff are preparing for a walloping.
"This is not our first hurricane, and it's not something that we take lightly. We've seen what these storms can do," he said.
When, in 2016, Hurricane Matthew caused the Neuse River to overflow its banks, U.S. 70 was closed for nearly a week, Quinn said. This made it difficult for the brewery to supply its distributor in Charlotte.
Other businesses, like the Red Carpet Inn and Suites, which sits on the banks of the Neuse closed indefinitely after Matthew.
"The threat of another large storm coming through is really challenging for the community as a whole," Quinn said.
But as Knight pointed out while standing outside of Chef & the Farmer, some people and businesses are better suited to absorb the damaging impacts of major storms.
Large farming companies, for instance, can likely roll with Hurricane Florence's punches. Family farmers, on the other hand, could be ruined if the storm wreaks havoc on their crops, Knight said.
While some consider the economic impacts of the storm, as rightfully they should, there are others — in some cases living right down the road — who are simply hoping to make it out of the storm alive. Clower is among them.
In the small community of Kelly in Bladen County, roughly 90 miles southwest of Kinston, some have chosen not to leave because they, too, don't have the resources, said Charles Russ, the former fire chief who now runs Kelly General Store.
Areas nearby flooded heavily two years ago during Matthew, Russ said. Kelly's less than 15 minutes from Pender County, where officials have called a mandatory evacuation, leaving flyers wedged in the cracks of doors.
But for some, the trip to higher ground is beyond what they can manage, he acknowledged.

With a couple more meetings of the minds, some pulling together of research materials and organising of lives it was time to hit Nqileni and get going. Two weeks after our initial meeting, Jules and Laura meet up at the Shell Ultra City in Mthatha and make their way to Nqileni. The plan for the first two weeks is to meet with the community and educators. It is essential that we understand exactly what each group is feeling and also explain our role and what we would like to achieve.
And so we wonder the hills of this spectacular village, take a look at the projects that are currently happening, including the village restaurant and community vegetable garden and arrange meetings with key stakeholders for as soon as possible.
On Wednesday 16th we visit the school. This is Laura's first time and although she was expecting something pretty atrocious, this can only be described as utterly dismal. The building is a hazardous, one-roomed dilapidated mud structure. You can actually see through the front walls and through the back walls to the very beautiful river at the other side of the valley!
There are a few kids hanging around in groups outside paging through books. Three of the teachers are sitting chatting on a broken bench. The fourth teacher is in fact attempting to teach the grade R kids. They are sitting around her while she tears paper into strips.
They agree to meet us the following week. We leave them and decide to take in the action of "pay day" across the river. "Pay day" is the day that government grants (old age pensions, child support grants, foster care grants etc) are disbursed. This is an exciting day in rural South Africa and cause for markets and celebrations.
Next to the pay point is Qatywa School. We knock on the door and go in to meet the staff and the principal, Mr Gibe. We have a great meeting with Mr Gibe and his team, who seem to be at an exciting stage in their school's development. Mr Gibe is an enthusiastic leader and has been principal of Qatywa for a couple of years now. He tells us that attendance has increased markedly since he started as principal, from 450 to 700 learners. The school was in a poor state when he arrived and had not had a principal for a long time. He explains how it is important as principal to show an interest in the community and that this in turn stimulates interest in the school.
There has been a community meeting scheduled for today to discuss a range of issues. Dave organizes that we will have time to introduce Laura to the community and explain the approach we would like to take in moving forward.
It lands up being an extremely educational day (for Laura). There is to be a funeral the following day and when we arrive Dave and Julia's translator, Des, are asked to go and help dig the grave. Julia and Laura are invited into the huts where the women are cooking and cooking and cooking. They are made to go and fetch water from the river – and have to carry the buckets on their heads back to the rondavels. Jules is a pro and carries a full 20 litres but Laura is the laughing stock of the women who keel over watching her attempt to balance half a bucket on her apparently wobbling neck. We then are asked to sit in the mourners hut and very soon experience the three acceptable sitting positions – its hard to keep in one spot for a couple of hours if you are not used to it.
Eventually the men are finished (Dave says the grave diggers hit solid rock – blistered hands!) and the meeting is called. Plates of delicious umngqusho, veg, pap and bread are served and pertinent issues are discussed. We discuss our approach of moving forward with the school and there is consensus on the need to take things forward and try again to build a beneficial relationship with the government.
We meet with the four NO-OFISI educators outside the crumbling clay structure. Again there are a few kids hanging around paging through text books, but not much teaching is evident. We have a frank and open discussion with the educators and learn much about the situation at NO-OFISI. There are three qualified educators at the school responsible for teaching grades 1 to grade 6. This means that each educator is expected to teach two classes simultaneously. This is a common situation in South African rural and farm schools. Although the teachers stay with other community members in the village during the week, their family homes are outside Nqileni, in fact many hours travel away owing to the lack of access road into the village. It is unsurprising that these educators do not wish to live permanently in the village as there are no basic services and there is no decent schooling to offer their children. Nevertheless, this creates a major problem as the educators go home on "weekends" – that is, Fridays and return on Mondays. This means the school week is only three days – an untenable situation. Two of the three teachers have been at NO-OFISI for more than 10 years and have therefore never been exposed to a functional school. None of them has ever taught anywhere else.
There is a fourth lady who is the Reception year facilitator. She comes from Nqileni and has been volunteering at the school for over two years. She was recently given an official post. Although she has no official training, she does have a senior (school leaving) certificate. She is extremely dedicated and works daily with the children who attend school.
Unsurprisingly, the educators listed as their priority needs a road and a school building. We asked them what would be helpful in the interim. They said they would like the community to make four rondavels available for teaching purposes, and would each like a desk and a chair.
Thursday 24 May: Our second community meeting.
We attend our second community meeting to ask about interim measures while we work through official channels to ensure school development. The community come together and select the four rondavels requested, all of which are fairly close to one another.
Things are moving quickly and everyone is very excited as we begin mobilizing.


Cultivate KC is partnering with the Climate Council of Greater Kansas City as part of our mission to address environmental issues related to agriculture. The council was formed out of a need for concerted, collective action to address global warming.
Cultivate KC has always engaged in advocacy related to organic and sustainable agriculture. We recognize the impact farms and farmers can have on our community, our health and our environment in the decisions we make on where and how to grow food, which informs our work in support of a healthy, local and sustainable food system.
"… soil scarcity will become a critical future problem for global agricultural production. With limited new lands for cultivation worldwide and a projected increase in global population to 10 billion this century, long-term agricultural sustainability is an increasing global concern… Soil management must focus on regaining a balance in (1) organic carbon (C) inputs and losses, (2) soil erosion and production, and (3) release and loss of nutrients.
Cover crops have enormous potential to improve soil and water conservation, the study says. Cultivate KC hopes to demonstrate how care for our soil provides benefits for the farmer and the earth.
Hear speakers call out the important climate issues that are threatening us today.

Q: Authorization through certificate (SSL) There is a problem.
The server contains the certificate (.crt). And there are two different users. One is set in the browser certificate (.p12), which signed the server certificate. The user enters the folder example.com/a
A user who doesn't have a certificate enters example.com/b
How to do it using the settings apache? Redirect?
Sorry for my English :)

A: If I understand you correctly, you could use mod_rewrite for this. I've not tested the config below, but it's a place for you to start from...
In the SSL settings, you use
SSLVerifyClient optional
SSLOptions +StdEnvVars

This means that you will allow clients to use authentication if they are able to, but you'll allow them to connect even if they can't. In order for this to work, you also need to trust the CA that has issued the client certificate; this is done by adding
SSLCACertificateFile path/to/file

to your config and having the certificate for the CA in that file.
Then, you use mod_rewrite to check for an environment variable that gets set by a client with a certificate you approve:
 RewriteEngine on
 RewriteCond   %{SSL_CLIENT_VERIFY} SUCCESS
 RewriteRule   ^/(.*) /a/(.*) [L]

 RewriteCond   %{SSL_CLIENT_VERIFY} FAILED
 RewriteRule   ^/(.*) /b/(.*) [L]

to replicate the deadly motocross bike featured in the Zombie killing game - Dead Rising 2.
We built the Dead Rising bike whilst under our old company name: Purissima Corse/Sport & Custom Motorcycles and at our old business location.
The bike is to be used and featured for promotional purposes around Europe to coincide with the X-Box and PS3 release of the game.
We search the options for a donor bike to break down and start to re-design and build from the ground up.
We finally found the right bike to the job. So the build was based around a Honda CR Motocross bike.
We break the bike completely ready to create from scratch.
Engine is stripped, prepared and finished in ultra smooth enamel, perfect match of the in-game bike colours.
Top and Bottom fork yokes are prepared and finished in ultra smooth enamel paint.
Moving onto the Gold items featured on the bike. Sprockets, Brakes discs and forks.
Although the computer generated game bike has alloy looking wheels, in 'real life' motocross bikes have spoked wheels for strength.
With this in mind the wheels are stripped, prepped and finished in Dark Grey enamel with a hint of metallic to colour match the games bike wheels.
Tyres, rear sprocket and the front & rear brake discs refitted.
The finished bike... This is - "Dead Rising"

Beyoncé Sets Release Date For 'Renaissance'
(Kevin Winter/Getty Images for Coachella)
Beyoncé woke her rabid fan base up in the middle of the night and set the internet ablaze with a simple, three-word message.
"Beyoncé. RENAISSANCE. July 29," a message from TIDAL reads.
Alongside the major announcement, TIDAL shared pre-save and pre-add options through Spotify and Apple. The message did not specify that the Houston native would be releasing a new album, EP or single. However, many outlets have indicated that Renaissance is the title of her seventh album. Furthermore, fans have pointed out the exact text of the message posted to TIDAL's Twitter account. Specifically, fans are excited that Renaissance is simply part one of a larger movement that she is creating.
Beyoncé always creates an event of her album releases. In 2013, she shocked many listeners when she dropped a complete LP with music videos for each song. Three years later, she returned with a full-length film released through HBO. Now, it appears that she's ready to take things to an entirely new level.
July 29, 2022 may seem like a far way away, but it will creep up quicker than you think. What are you most excited to see during Beyoncé's return?

Survival data collected from a prevalent cohort are subject to left truncation and the analysis is challenging. Conditional approaches for left‐truncated data could be inefficient as they ignore the information in the marginal likelihood of the truncation times. Length‐biased sampling methods may improve the estimation efficiency but only when the underlying truncation time is uniform; otherwise, they may generate biased estimates. We propose a semiparametric method for left‐truncated data under the Cox model with no parametric distributional assumption about the truncation times. Our approach is to make inference based on the conditional likelihood augmented with a pairwise likelihood, which eliminates the truncation distribution, yet retains the information about the regression coefficients and the baseline hazard function in the marginal likelihood. An iterative algorithm is provided to solve for the regression coefficients and the baseline hazard function simultaneously. By empirical process and U‐process theories, it has been shown that the proposed estimator is consistent and asymptotically normal with a closed‐form consistent variance estimator. Simulation studies show substantial efficiency gain of our estimator in both the regression coefficients and the cumulative baseline hazard function over the conditional approach estimator. When the uniform truncation assumption holds, our estimator enjoys smaller biases and efficiency comparable to that of the full maximum likelihood estimator. An application to the analysis of a chronic kidney disease cohort study illustrates the utility of the method.

JFK Jr. Reportedly Once Asked Madonna to Pose as Jackie Kennedy For a Magazine Cover
She declined, due to her ... eyebrows?
By Kimberly Truong Updated Apr 23, 2019 @ 3:45 pm
In 1995, John F. Kennedy Jr. founded and began editing George magazine, a glossy monthly that dissected politics and pop culture. And according to a new Esquire feature, one idea that JFK Jr. had for marrying the two seemingly disparate topics was to have rumored ex-girlfriend Madonna pose on the cover as his mother, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.
The concept, according to Esquire, was to shoot a cover photo in which Madonna looked so much like Jackie O. that readers wouldn't be able to tell the difference upon first glance.
However, the pop icon declined.
"Dear Johnny Boy," she wrote in a response to his request. "Thanks for asking me to be your mother but I'm afraid I could never do her justice. My eyebrows aren't thick enough, for one."
The story goes that Madonna and JFK Jr. met while at a party in 1985, and supposedly began secretly seeing each other three years later, when she and then-husband Sean Penn split up.
JFK Jr. Madonna
What makes the Esquire story even more wild is that Jackie Kennedy reportedly disapproved of Madge. Jackie apparently wasn't a fan of Madonna's "sacrilegious" (as deemed by the Vatican) use of crosses and Catholic iconography, and it probably didn't help that she once signed the guestbook at Jackie's home as "Mrs. Sean Penn."
RELATED: Why Jackie Kennedy Allegedly Disapproved of JFK Jr.'s Relationship with Madonna
Eventually, any affair between the Queen of Pop and the political heir fizzled out, though it sounds like they remained friendly enough for JFK Jr. to ask Madonna to pose as his mother.
Meanwhile, the magazine ultimately moved on to shoot Drew Barrymore posing as Marilyn Monroe for the cover after Madonna turned down the request.


Phase 2, single-arm, open, non-randomized, multicenter study of the SINE compound selinexor plus low-dose dexamethasone, in combination with bortezomib and daratumumab.
100 mg selinexor (on days 1, 8, 15 and 22), plus 40 mg dexamethasone (20 mg IV the day of daratumumab and selinexor and 20 mg oral administration the day after daratumumab and selinexor) both weekly as continuous therapy.
Bortezomib will be given via subcutaneous at dose of 1.3 mg/m2 once weekly on days 1, 8, 15 and 22 during the cycles 1 to cycle 8, and on day 1 and day 15 of each cycle thereafter as continuous therapy.
Daratumumab will be given via intravenous at dose of 16 mg/Kg on days 1, 8, 15 and 22 (weekly) during the cycles 1 and 2, every two weeks (on days 1 and 15) during the cycles 3 to 6 and on day 1 of each cycle thereafter as continuous therapy.
This is a Phase 2, single-arm, open, non-randomized, multicenter study of the SINE compound selinexor plus low-dose dexamethasone, in combination with bortezomib and daratumumab.
Sixty-two patients with R/R MM who meet eligibility criteria and have none of the exclusion criteria will be enrolled to receive SVDd until either disease progression or intolerance has occurred.
Enrolled patients will take a fixed milligram dose of 100 mg selinexor (on days 1, 8, 15 and 22), plus 40 mg dexamethasone (20 mg IV the day of daratumumab and selinexor and 20 mg oral administration the day after daratumumab and selinexor) both weekly as continuous therapy.


While the Galaxy A5 and A3 got their 2017 variants, A8 missed it. Samsung didn't released any A8 (2017) this year but it's not going to repeat it in the coming year. And, this is not just a speculation anymore as we now have a leak confirming Galaxy A8 (2018) existence.
The front panel of the alleged A8 (2018) has been surfaced confirming two important features. First, the display is looking stretched up, featuring thin bezels and the second feature is the dual front camera setup.
Investigating the leaked pictures of front panel further reveals no curved design. A8 released back in 2016 featured 5.7-inch display and was 6.17-inch tall. But the new device in question can feature bigger display in a similar footprint. 5.9-inch, hint?
On the other side, the Galaxy A7 (2018) which is already part of rumour mill is expected to feature similarly positioned dual front cameras. As there isn't much information available about it, these leaked panel can be of A7 itself, rather than A8.
There is a lot of information passed from the rumour mills regarding these particular models. Samsung might release just two smartphone in 2018, dubbed as A8 and A8 Plus, ditching the A5 and A7 completely. Or, it can name the beefier one as A9.
As of now, I'll recommend you to take this all information as pinch of salt. I'll keep you posted.

Evaluation of In:tuition - life-skills based interactive teaching resource for primary and secondary schools (study 1 –10-and 11-year-old children)
In:tuition is a life-skills education programme which aims to build young people's confidence, personal and social skills, helping them to explore how they make decisions so they can understand what might influence them. One of its ultimate aims is to reduce alcohol misuse but its focus is wider, addressing a range of relevant personal needs in an age-sensitive way.
Students in year 5 of primary school.
In:tuition is being trialled in primary schools. We ask year 5 children a series of questions in the summer term 2013. They are then randomly allocated either to receive either In:tuition or their normal Personal, Social and Health Education provision during the autumn term 2013 and spring term 2014 i.e. when they are in year 6. In summer 2014, they are asked the same questions to determine whether In:tuition has worked.
The programme may improve young people's confidence, personal and social skills.
The study is being run by National Foundation for Educational Research and takes place in 79 primary schools from across England (UK)

Peer pressure management in children
Interventions as of 06/02/2017:
Schools are randomly allocated to intervention and control. Schools were randomised in five blocks. Block sizes are 46, 12, 10, 10 and 1. Schools are aware of their group allocation when they completed the baseline questionnaires, as they are simultaneously notified of their group and asked to complete questionnaires.
Intervention arm: The primary school programme consists of 12 lessons (a period of 40 minutes is recommended for each lesson). Alcohol is its theme but the focus is much wider and also includes:
1. Self-awareness
2. Attitudes and behaviour
3. Advertising, branding and the media
4. Personal choices
5. Emotions, communication skills and assertive behaviour
6. The influence of peers
7. Toal setting and confidence.
In:tuition uses a 'life skills approach' to help pupils learn and practice some important skills such as communication, working as a team and decision-making. The programme can be delivered through Personal, Social, and Health Education (PSHE) and Citizenship teaching but schools can also adopt a cross-curricular approach. Some digital tools are included, but each lesson has a paper-based alternative available to download. Home learning tasks are included to encourage discussion with parents/carers and promote consistent messages to young people at home and school.
Control arm: Control schools continued with their normal PSHE/alcohol education curriculum.
Original interventions:
In:tuition is a free life-skills based interactive teaching resource for primary and secondary schools developed by alcohol education charity Drinkaware.
Duration of intervention: 12 weeks of one lesson per week.
The participants are randomised to two groups:
The experimental group will consist of 875 pupils across 35 schools who shall receive the In:tuition programme over 12 weeks; one lesson per week.
The control group will consist of 875 pupils across 35 schools who shall receive their normal Personal, Social and Health education.
1. Resistance skills (confidence to manage peer pressure)
All outcomes are measured using a bespoke questionnaire that consisted of new questions, questions from Fuller (2013) and questions from Lynch et al. (2013) at baseline and 12 months.
1. Knowledge of health effects of alcohol
2. Decision-making skills
3. Understanding of social norms relating to alcohol

Last year England included coding and programming as an integral part of its primary school curriculum. It seems likely that other parts of the world will follow suit before long. We catch up with executives from Ocado Technology, which has sponsored the initiative, to learn more. The answers below are from Paul Clarke, Director of Technology and Anne Marie Neatham, COO.
How did Ocado Technology's Code for Life initiative and sponsorship of the weekend coding sessions for kids at Bletchley Park come about?
Ocado Technology is the technology division that powers Ocado.com. As a technology business, we feel passionately that we have a responsibility to help inspire and educate the next generation of computer scientists. This is why we launched Code for Life, to get every child in the country coding.
In November this year, the National Museum of Computing launched a similar project called The Weekend Codability Project which helps children learn how to program computers, change existing instructions in programs and create their own programs. These sessions take place every weekend in the same building that housed the wartime Colossus computers, the world's first electronic computer, on Bletchley Park. It is a fantastic environment for children to take their first steps in coding and programming and we're proud to do everything we can to inspire children.
As part of your Rapid Router programming language, you've produced a lot of materials to help primary school teachers understand coding – do you think all this is harder for parents and teachers to understand than it is for the kids themselves?
It can definitely be daunting for parents and teachers, especially given there is much more emphasis placed on technology skills today than when they were at school.
Ahead of the new school year, and the Code for Life launch in September, we surveyed parents and primary school teachers. This research revealed three quarters (75%) of parents wish they'd had the chance to learn coding at school as it would have given them better career prospects. Moreover, 61% of teachers polled said they did not feel confident enough to teach coding.
To address these concerns, we developed Rapid Router, a free comprehensive programming teaching resource which lies at the heart of Code for Life. This has been created in conjunction with primary computing and ICT teachers and has been tested by over 150 pupils to ensure it helps teachers meet the requirements of the new curriculum. It features a fun and engaging web application, detailed lesson plans for Key Stage 1 and lower Key Stage 2 pupils, coding videos and other activities.
How do you see the IT curriculum developing in the UK over the short-term, medium-term and long-term?
Introducing computing into the new primary school curriculum is a great first step. Hopefully, this will spark interest and encourage children to further explore the exciting world of coding outside of school.
Currently, Rapid Router is targeted a key stage 1 and lower key stage 2. However, we are currently developing the next iteration aimed at upper key stage 2 and we are working on further extensions of Code for Life, such as "Bots for Kids", an intuitive programming environment to introduce children to the exciting world of robotics.
Why do you think girls are less interested in technology than boys? What can we do to change that and how long do you think it will take?
We do not think that girls are less interested in technology than boys. In fact, they can often be the fastest to adopt new technology. However, we have found that the traditional stereo-typical view of careers in technology being occupied by very nerdy men, is off putting to most girls and many boys, which means that they do not even consider a career in technology.
It is clear that we must work hard to change perceptions in this world-changing exciting industry, so that a greater diversity of girls and boys consider it as a career option. Schools are well placed to trigger this inspiration. Introducing Computing from an early age will help to encourage more diversity generally and help to level the playing field between the sexes.
As coding now forms part of the primary school curriculum, girls and boys across the country are learning how to instruct computers and create their own programmes.
The gender gap won't of course be tackled overnight, it will take time. But this new school curriculum is a great first step and will allow girls to discover interests they may never have done otherwise.
I read in an interview last March that Ocado Technology is on a big hiring drive, have you struggled to find the relevant skills and talent?
It's true that hiring talented engineers, data scientists, analysts, product owners and other specialists into Ocado Technology is a never-ending process. The rate at which we are growing, combined with the fact that we set the bar high, means that we continue to invest a lot of time in getting the recruitment process right.
Our business model is all about making the delivery of an amazing service look simple. But look under the surface and you will find that simplicity is delivered by a huge amount of complexity in the form of software, automation, algorithms, data, optimisations, machine learning and so on. That's why candidates who come to our weekly assessment days are often amazed by the Aladdin's cave of technology that powers Ocado, all of which we build in-house. That's the perception gap that we struggle with.
Do you think the beautiful packaging and extremely sophisticated technology behind devices like the iPhone makes it harder for children to understand how IT works in practice? Do these extremely covetable devices make children more interested in technology, or do you think it simply increases their desire to consume on them?
We think the access to amazing technology fuels both an interest in that technology and a desire to consume the benefits it delivers.
We would draw parallels between the way the internet has democratised music and book publishing with the way smart mobile devices have brought software publishing within reach of anyone with a great product idea and the ability to code it. Add to this a cloud computing account and a credit card, and someone in their teens really can initiate from their bedroom a successful startup business that is eventually worth millions (or even billions), with almost no risk or investment other than their intellectual and creative capital.
Is there anything else you would like to share with an international audience which may be less familiar with what is happening in the UK?
England is the first country in the world to make coding and programming mandatory in the school curriculum. This is significant as being able to write code is a transformative and disruptive skill that needs to be seen as being of huge potential value whatever your future holds. It is a skill that children need to acquire to flourish in our digital and online world. Hopefully, more countries will follow suit.
Our staff writer, Dan Swinhoe is learning to code with Kano. Find out how he's getting on here.

Loving Dee Naturally : Principles To Live By (my thoughts on Tightly Curly Method) ""
I have thoroughly enjoyed my foray into the Tightly Curly Method Challenge. This challenge was 'sponsored' by the curly-haired beauty Farah of AuCurlsNaturelle. I stumbled upon Farah's youtube channel when I was researching more into the Tightly Curly Method and for curlies who had tried this method. Her videos and website gave me such inspiration to try this method and to top it all off she was starting a Tightly Curly Challenge!! This was right up my alley and sooooo on-time. This link will take you to the original challenge.
While participating in this challenge in the last month or so I've come to the conclusion/realization that I'm not looking to follow a "method" or "person" for the sake of following a method or a person who has created a method. I was/am looking for a "method" for the sake of a technique(s) that I could use in the care of my hair. This has led me to focus more on the rudiments or basic/foundational PRINCIPLES that undergird this(or any) method and that are conducive to growing/maintaining healthy hair; PRINCIPLES or TOOLS presented in TC method that I can extract from my "tool box" and use at any given point and time to create any desired effect in caring for/styling my hair day to day, week to week, month to month, etc. It's the same with a hammer, nut, bolt, screw, nail, drill. These construction tools that are in your toolbox are there so you can use them when you need them but you have to know how to use each of them and what situation needs which tool in order to be effective at building whatever you are trying to build.
Referencing Farah again, I was struck by a statement she made in her latest video. She said something to this effect. "TC method is more than just coiling your hair. It's a way of TREATING your hair...."(click here for exact quote). This statement resonated within me because this is what I had been looking for: a way to treat my hair that addressed the goals that I wanted to meet in the care of my hair rather than just blindly "doing a method".
The TC method has given/shown me some techniques that have been very effective on my hair. My hair has responded wonderfully to what I have learned from this method and I don't believe this works for just MY hair(type). If one is willing to invest the time, I feel the principles in this method will be a benefit (definitely NOT harmful) to any and all hair types. I do realize that what works for one person's hair may not work for the next person's hair but I think that's relegated to products we choose to use and how we use them.
ALL hair benefits from moisture.
ALL hair benefits from a consistent healthy regimen.
ALL hair benefits from techniques and products that reinforce/strengthen it's own natural state.
ALL hair benefits from being handled gently.
ALL hair benefits from efforts to protect the ends.
I feel TC method addressess all these bulleted points but it does require an investment of time and the time it takes will decrease as your hair becomes accustomed to these techniques and you become accustomed to the technique.
Many of strategies put forth in the TC method are basic natural haircare methods for afro-textured hair. You can read up on them in detail from the TC website(www.tightlycurly.com) and I highly recommend Teri Laflesh's book, Curly Like Me for more info. on styling, caring for children's hair, what to look for in conditioners/products, etc. I was already using some of these strategies like conditioner-washing, detangling gently(I use my fingers 99% of time), leaving rinse-out conditioner in my hair(I use silicone-free conditioners), detangling with conditioner-soaked hair, etc. so I didn't have to start from 'scratch'.
smooth/define(doodle) and separate each curl *** this one was a biggie for me and the least attractive aspect due to the time it takes me to do my whole head BUT I feel it is one of the MOST important things that has contributed to the excellent results I've gotten.
What I was mainly looking for in researching this method was a nighttime routine/morning refresh for short hair which didn't result in frizzy hair and one in which I didn't have to wet my hair everyday. These are the benchmarks that I came up with to see if this would be beneficial and worth the effort of participating in this challenge.
Does this provide an effective nighttime routine for short hair that would eliminate frizz?
Does this provide and effective way to refresh short hair in morning with no frizzies? - I really was looking for a way to refresh my hair without wetting it in the wintertime and although I do spritz my hair with this method I can use more conditioner than water therefore doesn't take long to dry.
Learn the TC Method - Is this something I can physically do? Researching and studying and implementing the TC Method presented a welcome challenge to me. I thoroughly enjoy learning and meeting/supporting other naturals, especially those who learning this same method.
Am I able to stick with this method?
Goal #1 & #2. Yes, the principles in the TC method provide an effective nighttime routine for short hair that eliminates frizz. Because each curl is coated in conditioner from near the root to the ends of the hair, my hair is more protected from weather and even nighttime wear and tear. It is suggested in this method to braid/twist the hair at night but I didn't do that. Because my hair is still short I found that to be protection enough and my curls were preserved inside of the smashed 'bedhead' that occurs during the night. During the week I did have areas that began to get frizzy. The remedy for that is to smooth each frizzy curl with a bit of water and conditioner. So, the frizz that I did experience I learned a new way of taking care of/eliminate it and to refresh my hair/style for the day with minimal water/wetting. Another item of note: I just love and want to wear my hair in it's curly state so I do very little manipulation during the week. I don't twist or band or braid. I don't re-twist at night...I used to just put on my satin wrap and go to bed. I did not have a lot of hair breakage or an abnormal amount of shedding either. I am convinced that a low manipulation regimen contributes to length retention. Now that my hair is longer I think the time has come for me to begin to put my hair in loose twists at night, at least in some sections of my hair.
Goal #3. Yes, I was able to learn these techniques and apply them in my haircare regimen. The website www.tightlycurly.com was a major resource for me and is one place where I learned how to fully define my curls. Looking at Farah's results also gave me a real-life visual of what my hair 'could' be...not that I was trying to get my curl pattern like hers but I wanted healthy, gorgeous curls like her and I did achieve that. I achieved healthy gorgeous curls that reflected MY natural curl pattern, MY texture with MY volume/density. Also, learning from other curlies like Farah made this process more real to me b/c she was the first person that I found that utilized this method on short hair like mine. Like I mentioned previously, defining and separating each curl can be a very time-consuming process but the result is a head full of curls that are healthy, defined, well-conditioned and protected along the full strand of hair. This results in hair that is fully moisturized the resists breaking thereby able to grow to it's length potential.
Goal #4. Yes, this worked for my hair. My curls were defined with excellent hold, shiny, soft, healthy, durable and looked good. My hair continued to be healthy and my curls seemed to begin to coil on their own without me having to doodle/coil each curl as carefully as I did at first so this method reinforces your own particular individual naturally curly state. It does not work against your natural curl pattern but works with it, reinforcing and strengthening that curly state resulting in more defined curls. This method allows your hair to curl like it wants to, the way it is genetically meant to curl while being fully moisturized and conditioned. Also, my hair seems to have a had a sudden growth spurt in the last week. When I washed my hair this week and ran the water over my hair I felt hair laying on the back of my neck and over my ears and hanging/flopping in my face for the first time since I've been natural. My hair seems to be thriving under these techniques.
Goal #5. I would say yes it improved the overall health of my hair b/c I've never had this much growth in 1.5 months as long as I've been natural as I've had doing this method.
Goal #6. Yes, I can stick with this method (and/or even a modified version of this method...see book Curly Like Me for simplified version). Even if there are some weeks I don't do the 'full' method I've learned plenty of strategies I can use to get and keep my hair/curls looking like I like them to. In an effort to try to decrease the time I spend on defining/separating curls I've tried experimenting with using a modified method of defining, separating curls. After washing/conditioning/detangling my hair I would smooth and rake conditioner on all my hair in small sections to make sure to cover every strand and then give a good shake. Then once hair is completely dry then go back and more fully 'spot-define' any individual curl that didn't get fully defined and/or more fully 'spot-separate' any larger clump of curls that didn't separate all the way. That's my modified version and actually I guess I could label my HOTD dated Feb. 26, 2013 post as my modified TC method b/c that is what I did to achieve the look in that post. While I changed the order and the sequence in which I moved through the steps of TC I still adhered to the principles of the method. I was of the initial thought that I would not do TC on that week but looking back now I believe I have still done TC. I just tweeked it for my needs.
silicone-free conditioner. My hair likes the techniques used in the TC method. My hair also likes the products I've been using and how I've been using them in this method. I will continue to do/use what my hair likes, whether or not I can classify what I do as someone else's "method" or not; it will be MY method; so long as my hair likes it. So needless to say the techniques/strategies/principles used in TC method of haircare are in my life to stay. This is not just a part of my regimen it will BE my regimen. It will BE the way in which I care for and treat my hair while it's in it's naturally curly state.
Girlfriend, u remember u told me I was going to fall in love with my curls b/c if I'm in curl love with yours and we are curl-twins then I"m going to fall in love with my own and surely I have!!!!! I've gone this week with a looser curl b/c I didn't coil each curl this week(wanted something different than the tight curl) and as I look through the pics on the blog I am missing my "tightly curly"!!! So when I do my hair in the next few days it will be the "full tightly curly version" :-) I love the versatility in styling, and even in the "treatment" of our natural hair!


You want people to listen to you? You want them to remember what you say? You want them to buy from you? You want to be a better, smarter presenter?
Start with something relevant to your buyers.
Not with your corporate overview (slide or slides).
Not with a long, boring thank-you-for-your-time-we-know-how-busy-you-are.
Not with a lengthy introduction of your credentials or you and every person on your team.
Not with "key differentiators" especially when you don't really know what matters to your prospects.
Start with something that piques their interest.
Consider asking a smart question to engage them.
Consider telling them (concisely) what you know about their needs and asking if your research is correct or off the mark.
Consider starting by helping them envision their success.
Consider presenting a few options of things that you could talk about and asking them to decide what you should talk about.
Consider sending an agenda before hand and asking them to highlight what matters and cross out what they'd prefer you present as collateral or with an easy link.
Gain approval for a next step.
Ask: How would you like me to follow-up?
Ask: What would you like the next steps to be?
Ask: Do I have your approval to…?
Ask: What other questions can I answer to ensure you feel comfortable signing this agreement?
Leave them with a sweet taste in their mouth.
End with a focus on what matters to them (not to you).
Close with a benefit not a transaction.


While we've been working on some major improvements and new features we've made some updates to the product over the last week we wanted to share.
We're working on some major improvements and features at the moment, so you can expect some big improvements to search, the introduction of new a feature, custom log books, and further improved reporting. Next week's blog post will delve further into the technical aspects of these features.
Improved how we encode gear kind titles and how special characters are handled.
Fixed an issue in when under certain circumstances when a team is deleted, a link may remain in the organization view.
Fixed how the model and brand drop down menus load on the gear edit page making them load quicker and more reliably.
If you have any questions, a great place for them is on our community forums.

WAX-EMULSIONS.COM
Montan Wax
Polyethylene wax
Polypropylene wax
Beeswax (Cera alba) is a natural wax produced by honey bees of the genus Apis. The wax is formed into "scales" by eight wax-producing glands in the abdominal segments 4 through 7 of worker bees, who discard it in or at the hive. The hive workers collect and use it to form cells for honey-storage and larval and pupal protection within the beehive.
The wax is formed by worker bees, which secrete it from eight wax-producing mirror glands on the inner sides of the sternites (the ventral shield or plate of each segment of the body) on abdominal segments 4 to 7.[2] The sizes of these wax glands depend on the age of the worker, and after many daily flights, these glands begin to gradually atrophy.
The new wax is initially glass-clear and colorless, becoming opaque after mastication and adulteration with pollen by the hive worker bees. Also, the wax becomes progressively more yellow or brown by incorporation of pollen oils and propolis. The wax scales are about 3 mm (0.12 in) across and 0.1 mm (0.0039 in) thick, and about 1100 are required to make a gram of wax.
Beeswax is a tough wax formed from a mixture of several compounds. An approximate chemical formula for beeswax is C15H31COOC30H61.[7] Its main components are palmitate, palmitoleate, and oleate esters of long-chain (30–32 carbons) aliphatic alcohols, with the ratio of triacontanyl palmitate CH3(CH2)29O-CO-(CH2)14CH3 to cerotic acid[8] CH3(CH2)24COOH, the two principal components, being 6:1. Beeswax can be classified generally into European and Oriental types.
The saponification value is lower (3–5) for European beeswax, and higher (8–9) for Oriental types. Beeswax has a relatively low melting point range of 62 °C to 64 °C (144 °F to 147 °F). If beeswax is heated above 85 °C (185 °F) discoloration occurs. The flash point of beeswax is 204.4 °C (400 °F).[9] Density at 15 °C is 958 kg/m³ to 970 kg/m³
Beeswax has many and varied uses. Primarily, it is used by the bees in making their honeycombs. Apart from this use by bees, the use of beeswax has become widespread and varied. Purified and bleached beeswax is used in the production of food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. The three main types of beeswax products are yellow, white, and beeswax absolute. Yellow beeswax is the crude product obtained from the honeycomb, white beeswax is bleached yellow beeswax, and beeswax absolute is yellow beeswax treated with alcohol.[11] In food preparation, it is used as a coating for cheese; by sealing out the air, protection is given against spoilage (mold growth). Beeswax may also be used as a food additive E901, in small quantities acting as a glazing agent, which serves to prevent water loss, or used to provide surface protection for some fruits. Soft gelatin capsules and tablet coatings may also use E901. Beeswax is also a common ingredient of natural chewing gum.
Use of beeswax in skin care and cosmetics has been increasing. A German study found beeswax to be superior to similar barrier creams (usually mineral oil-based creams such as petroleum jelly), when used according to its protocol.[12] Beeswax is used in lip balm, lip gloss, hand creams, and moisturizers; and in cosmetics such as eye shadow, blush, and eye liner. Beeswax is an important ingredient in moustache wax and hair pomades, which make hair look sleek and shiny.
Candle-making has long involved the use of beeswax, which is highly flammable, and this material traditionally was prescribed for the making of the Paschal candle or "Easter candle". It is further recommended for the making of other candles used in the liturgy of the Roman Catholic Church.[13] Beeswax is also the candle constituent of choice in the Orthodox Church.
