that it had been enabled to get a large sum of money at a low
rate of interest—and subsequently, through conversion, a
direct bonded liability refunded into stock. The device was so
successful that it was used by the company several times later,
the converting ratios being raised as the market value of the
stock became stabilized at prices well above par.*
Conversion Security of Bonds.—In the contract or statement
covering the convertibility of a bond there are usually
conditions defining: ( i ) the kind of security into which the
bond may be converted; (2) the percentage of the par value
at which the security must be accepted; (3) the time limits during
which the convertible period extends. In unusual cases, certain
other conditions are mentioned: such as the earnings requirement
of the company at the time of conversion, the surrender
of specific warrants in order to secure conversion, or
even the right of the directors of withdrawing the privilege.
The security into which a bond or note may be converted is
usually some form of stock. Instances, however, exist in
which a short-term obligation may be converted into a longer-term
bond and this privilege has been very commonly attached
to public utility short-term notes issued after 1910.'' In the
b From an examination of upwards of 40 public utility short-term notes
sold since 1910, it was found that over a third contained the privilege of
refunding into the longer-term bonds. The practice is not confined, exclusively
to public utility short term notes; among railroads, the Southern
Railway's Convertible Collateral Trust 6s, 1911, were convertible into 4 per
cent General Mortgage Bonds of the same company, and the Tidewater
Company's Convertible Collateral Trust 6s of 1913, were convertible into
the First Mortgage S per cent Bonds of the Virginia Railway Company.
During the Great War, European nations resorted to the same expedient—
issuing short-term notes convertible into longer-term government bonds of
regular form. Frequently, especially with corporate issues the short-term
notes are secured by the collateral deposit of the very bonds into which the
notes may be converted. In such cases it is contemplated to refund the
notes partially through conversion into the bonds and partially through the
sale of the bonds to the bankers. Such conversion, therefore, renders the
funding or final payment of them both easier and cheaper.

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings, but shorter tempers; wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints; we spend more, but have less; we buy more, but enjoy it less. We have bigger houses and smaller families; more conveniences, but less time; we have more degrees, but less sense; more knowledge, but less judgment; more experts, but fewer solutions; more medicine, but less wellness. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often. We've learned how to make a living, but not a life; we've added years to life, not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the Street to meet the new neighbor. We've conquered outer space, but not inner space; we've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul; we've split the atom, but not our prejudice. We have higher incomes, but lower morals; we've become long on quantity, but short onquality. These are the times of tall men, and short character; steep profits, and shallow relationships. These are the times of world peace, but domestic warfare; more leisure, but less fun; more kinds of food, but less nutrition. These are days of two incomes, but more divorce; of fancier houses, But broken homes. It is a time when there is much in the show window and nothing in the stockroom.
In fourth grade your idea of a good friend was the person who was willing to switch square dancing partners in gym so you wouldn't have to be stuck do-si-do-ing with Nasty nora or Smelly simmon.
In sixth grade your idea of a friend was the person who went up to Nicky or Susan, your new crush, and asked them to dance with you, so that if they said no you wouldn't have to be embarrassed.
Now, your idea of a good friend is still the person who gives you the better of the two choices, holds your hand when you're scared, helps you fight off those who try to take advantage of you, thinks of you at times when you are not there, reminds you of what you have forgotten, helps you put the past behind you but understands when you need to hold on to it a little longer, stays with you so that you have confidence, goes out of their way to make time for you, helps you clear up your mistakes, helps you deal with pressure from others, smiles for you when they are sad, helps you become a better person, and most importantly loves you.
Suddenly, an old man appeared at the front of the crowd and said, "Why your heart is not nearly as beautiful as mine." The crowd and the young man looked at the old man's heart. It was beating strongly, but full of scars, it had places where pieces had been removed and other pieces put in, but they didn't fit quite right and there were several jagged edges. In fact, in some places there were deep gouges where whole pieces were missing. The people stared -- how can he say his heart is more beautiful, they thought?
The young man looked at the old man's heart and saw its state and laughed. "You must be joking," he said. "Compare your heart with mine, mine is perfect and yours is a mess of scars and tears." "Yes," said the old man, "yours is perfect looking but I would never trade with you. You see, every scar represents a person to whom I have given my love - I tear out a piece of my heart and give it to them, and often they give me a piece of their heart which fits into the empty place in my heart, but because the pieces aren't exact, I have some rough edges, which I cherish, because they remind me of the love we shared.
Sometimes I have given pieces of my heart away, and the other person hasn't returned a piece of his heart to me. These are the empty gouges -- giving love is taking a chance. Although these gouges are painful, they stay open, reminding me of the love I have for these people too, and I hope someday they may return and fill the space I have waiting. So now do you see what true beauty is?"
"Maybe in life we have to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift.When the door of happiness closes, another opens, but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us. The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had. It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives. Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they'll love you back! Don't expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart but if it doesn't, be content it grew in yours. It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone. Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile. There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real!Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do. May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy. Always put yourself in others' shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the other person, too. The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched, and those who have tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives. Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss and ends with a tear. The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past, you can't go on well in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.

Will The Real Catholics Please Stand Up?
Late last week, I had an interesting conversation on Twitter with some Catholic and raised-Catholic millennials. We were discussing our perceptions about God being either a warm fatherly figure or a strict disciplinarian.
Rather quickly, our topic turned toward what we'll call "traditional" Catholicism. I talk to lots of Catholics online, and I champion Roman Catholic values and teachings. I was raised Catholic, and attended Catholic institutions through graduate school — all post Vatican II. Yet I never really realized, until a local organization of the Society of St. Pious the X (SSPX) "reopened" a closed Catholic church building in my city, just how divided "Catholicism" really is.
I had read an article about the SSPX reopening the old St. James church building on Pittsburgh's West End for regular "traditional" Catholic Mass, or the Latin, pre-Vatican II, Mass. Lots of people have been heralding the beauty of the Latin Mass lately, even actor Michael Keaton, so I thought this was some "Catholic" group I didn't have knowledge of. But I knew the Diocese of Pittsburgh offered Latin Masses regularly around the city, so it seemed a bit odd they would dedicate one building to Latin Mass.
So I read a little more about SSPX. They were once part of the Roman Church. A French archbishop started a group with papal encouragement to preserve the Latin Mass after Vatican II. The archbishop wasn't specifically against Vatican II changes – he voted to move forward with many of them, including the new Mass. But as time wore on, however, his followers developed more and more ideas outside of Roman Catholic teaching. The archbishop eventually became estranged from Rome and was excommunicated by Saint John Paul II for ordaining SSPX bishops to succeed him without papal governance and approval.
Yesterday, I was reading about a so-called Catholic parish that ordained a group of female priests. As a lifelong Catholic, I know this is not Rome's teaching, and is likely to get someone, or someones, excommunicated. These woman are obviously not Roman Catholics or priests, even if they identify themselves as such. I couldn't help but wonder what SSPX would think of a move like this. This is probably the kind of "church liberalism" that generated their schism in the first place.
But really, in the end, I don't get either of these groups. Christians, especially Catholics, are under fire across the globe. If we're honest with ourselves, each Catholic likely has some disagreement with what comes from Rome. Some rule we don't like or think needs fixing, theologians we all no doubt are. But we're not all running off to start our own religions because there are both liberal and conservative schools of thought within the church. We hold fast to the tradition and community we love.
For Catholicism to weather the storm it has found itself in, we Catholics should be searching for unity, not dividing ourselves over who agrees or disagrees with what part of the "doctrine." We believe in the same loving God the Father. We all believe in spreading the good news of his son Jesus Christ. We need to be tolerant of one another, remember we are all sinners and respect the different ways Catholics choose to worship within the rules. Creating the rules is not our place.
Catholics need to redevelop trust in the papacy and the Vatican. But we also need to realize that those leading our Church are still human beings. They make mistakes. They sin. But they are also faced with managing an ancient religion across the cultural, economic, and social divides of the world. If they aren't moving fast enough, or are moving too fast on whatever our issue might be, we need to be patient in the process, and trust God will inspire.
In the end, we all have our personal relationship with God. We know in our minds that no religion, can meet the ideals of every individual among the millions of its members. But we also know it's not up to God to agree with what we want Him to be. It's up to us to change our lives to be what He needs us to be.
At this point in history, what we need, what Catholicism needs, and what a God needs is for us to focus on what we have in common, and work together to solidify our Catholic faith and preserve the many facets of its history for centuries to come.

Americans as a rule, are children of rebellion; however I would not worry so much about the schismatics( in that they are a new thing), there have been many through the millennia who have said they were the "true" faith. part and parcel of Catholicism is obedience, and it is very hard for all of us to submit to this facet of religion (from the Latin, to be yoked) yes we need to find common ground, but we must decide where truth lies and become yoked to it not easy, not convenient, nor is it necessarily "freeing". Remember what Lucifer said when he was cast out of heaven, " I will not SERVE".
the church- the body of Christ is composed of fallible men, yet the deposit of faith is still immaculate after 2,000 years. I and the other members of the Catholic Church will fail horribly every day of our lives; yet the faith entrusted to us and our duty to let Our Lord work within us to help the rest of humanity find salvation is a sure and tangible service to the world, for Him.
Get the original– all else are imitations!
Beautifully said! Thanks for reading.
I found your post interesting. Before I comment, I want to let you know that, while I do not attend a Society of Saint Pius X chapel, I am very supportive of the SSPX cause.
Before any of us bloggers try to cast someone out of the Church ("You are not a true Catholic!") note that we have no authority to do so. And people very high up in the Church, such as Cardinal Raymond Burke, have stated that the Society of Saint Pius X has the Catholic faith. And Pope Benedict XVI called Archbishop Lefebvre, the founder of the SSPX, "a great man of the universal Church".
Here are links to a few short videos – the 1st is of Cardinal Raymond Burke speaking about the SSPX. The 2nd is Bishop Fellay, the current head of the SSPX talking about Archbishop Lefebvre (and quoting Pope Benedict). One thing you will notice about Bishop Fellay is how soft-spoken he is 🙂 The 3rd, while just about one of the SSPX schools and colleges, does a wonderful job showing what the SSPX is about.

Guest Blog: Elder Abuse Summit
Written By: Eileen Rodden, Women's Center of Jacksonville & Regina Vought, Florida State Attorney's Office, 4th Judicial Circuit
The Elder Abuse Summit was held at the Duval County Courthouse Sept. 29 – 30. Two trainers, Candace Heisler, JD, and Judge Janice Martin from the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges provided the training under the Abuse in Later Life OVW grant. Twenty-three judges, nineteen elder law attorneys and professional guardians, and forty representatives from area elder-serving agencies completed the training.
According to Judge Gary P. Flower, Fourth Judicial Circuit, "Impressed by the training I received last year in Atlanta, I came away determined to ensure that Elder Abuse training was made available to other judicial officers and law enforcement representatives within the Women's Center of Jacksonville grant service area. I envisioned an Elder Abuse Summit where all of the stakeholders could meet to discuss resources and needs and establish study circles to continue the momentum built up. The summit was the culmination of a year's work with the planning team from the Women's Center. Attendees left both intrigued and reenergized, with a new sense of purpose and dedication to the protection of some of our most vulnerable citizens," the Honorable Gary P. Flower concluded.
Under the leadership of the Women's Center of Jacksonville, the Abuse in Later Life project completed a needs assessment of older adults and developed an outreach service and strategic plan pinpointing where grant dollars should be spent to enhance services to victims of elder abuse.
"In addition to judges training, this grant has provided training for prosecutors at the State Attorney's Office (SAO), and they, in turn, will provide cross-training to other prosecutors. We are fortunate to have project partners including the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office (JSO) who have provided space at the Criminal Justice Center for our Law Enforcement Training team to deliver elder abuse training to detectives, investigators, elder law attorneys and patrol officers. ElderSource, another project partner, has opened their training room to the project for the delivery of Victim Service Training on Elder Abuse. As a result of this concerted effort, we have trained over 100 law enforcement and 40 victim service and affiliated service providers," commented Eileen Rodden, Abuse in Later life Project Coordinator.
The training team travelled to Washington, D.C. for the Train the Trainer event in spring 2014 and included representatives from SAO, JSO, ElderSource and Hubbard House, the area's certified domestic violence shelter.
"The Abuse in Later Life project funding has provided time and monies for strategic planning and direct service. Development of Coordinated Community Response to Elder Abuse has contributed to uncovering some policy and protocol issues which in turn, have led our project partners to adjust their procedures to better capture elder abuse cases and promote successful prosecution. All of the 4th Judicial SAO Advocates have received the training which has improved our service delivery to victims," Regina Vought, Florida State Attorney's Office Victim Advocate Supervisor, said.
The Women's Center of Jacksonville was the only grantee in the State of Florida to receive Abuse in Later Life funds in 2013. Under prior grants, the Women's Center of Jacksonville developed training and a CD-ROM for criminal justice professionals. Through community collaboration and excellent project partner relationships, elder abuse training, awareness, and outreach have made the community more sensitive to the issue.

"THE BBC has had a terrible war." Who says so? The Daily Telegraph in its first leading article yesterday. After a 600-word indictment of just about every BBC reporter and presenter who has opened his or her mouth on the subject of Iraq - but exluding John Humphyrs, surely an oversight? - the Telegraph concluded with these words: "What is the mood among licence-payers? Mutinous." Perhaps, before getting so worked up about the alleged negative bias in the BBC's reporting of the Iraq invasion, the writer of the article should have looked at the research published on Thursday by the MORI poll organisation on attitudes to the news coverage provided by eight channels: BBC1, ITV1, BBC2, Channel 4, BBC 24-hour news, Sky News, Channel 5 and CNN. Just under one thousand people were asked two key questions: Which TV channel have you watched most since the war started?; Which channel do you trust most? BBC 1 was the most watched channel, with 38 per cent naming it; ITV with 13 per cent came next, followed by Sky News with 11 per cent.
On the issue of trust, BBC 1 was named by 42 per cent, Sky News by 25 per cent, and ITV by 15 per cent. However you read those figures, they cannot be said to support the conclusion reached by the Daily Telegraph. The greatest number of viewers elected to watch the BBC and the greatest number trusted it. In the light of such evidence, how can the Telegraph say that "The BBC has failed in its duty to produce the real news"?
NEXT Wednesday in Athens representatives of the 10 new members of the European Union will sign the Accession Treaty that in 2004 will change the Union from a mainly Western European association to one whose membership stretches from the Atlantic to the borders of Belarus and the Ukraine. Next week's ceremony will not necessarily be conclusive; the Treaty has to be endorsed by a referendum in each of the new entrant countries and ratified by the parliaments of the existing 15 members. But the deed is as good as done; Hungary holds its referendum today, the first of the former Communist nations to do so, and is confident about the outcome. The only serious question mark is over Cyprus because of the failure of the Greek and Turkish communities there to reach a compromise on an agreement to end the division of their island. The importance of this expansion of the EU has already been recognised in the United States in Donald Rumsfeld's recent riposte to France and Germany about the "new" Europe. Of equal interest is the degree to which the New Ten will be able to influence the discussion about the future structure and responsibilities of the EU due to take place later this year when Valery Giscard d'Estaing submits his final draft of what some people are calling a "constitution". It would be odd if, by an accident of timing, these new members were to be excluded from decisions that will directly and fundamentally affect them for the foreseeable future.


SOFIA – BRANDENBURG. Young and active journalists will cover stories of climate, environmental change and clean energy across Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) and Germany, as part of a virtual newsroom project launched by the Heinrich-Boell-Stiftung in Brandenburg and BlueLink in Sofia. The joint project employs the internet and social networks as editorial and dissemination platform for multimedia features and investigative stories. Participating journalists will receive professional training, editorial guidance and access to expert knowledge and policy solutions to the participating journalists from Europe's post-socialist societies and Germany.
The BlueLink Newsroom project will last until March 2018 and is funded by the DBU – the German Environmental Foundation, and the Heinrich-Boell-Stiftung in Brandenburg. Its purpose is to get decision makers and the public better informed about pressing environmental challenges and innovative business and policy solutions that promote protection of ecosystems, clean energy, accountable governance and public participation in decision making.
The BlueLink Newsroom supports quality journalism in the public interest by offering young active journalists from Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Germany, Romania and other post-socialist countries the opportunity to improve their skills, techniques and knowledge, and implement them professionally by producing high quality feature stories and investigative reports around climate change, clean energy use and other environmental sustainability issues.
The virtual newsroom applies an editorial policy based upon ethical and professional principles of leading quality media outlets such as The Guardian, BBC, Financial Times, New York Times, Die Zeit, and Sueddeutsche Zeitung.
Three professional workshop will be held within the project, where over 50 journalists from the CEE region will exchange and practice professional techniques with experienced environmental journalists such as former and practicing environment correspondents Paul Brown (The Guardian), Alex Kirby (BBC), Kieran Cooke (Financial Times), Mathias Richter (Märkische Allgemeine Zeitung) and Michael Bauchmueller (Sueddeutsche Zeitung). Leading experts in the fields of climate change, renewables and environmental sciences and policy will share knowledge with the journalists.
Fragmentized audiences are intensively exposed to indoctrinated, sensationalist and commercialized media content, while fact-based, well-researched, balanced and responsible journalism is getting extinct, explained Pavel Antonov, the Budapest-based editor and co-founder of BlueLink. Now that societies are facing the consequences of unsustainable and inequitable use of nature's resources that led to climate change, conflicts and mass migration, in-depth journalistic coverage of environmental issues and available policy and business solutions is critical, said Antonov, who is the editor of the virtual newsroom at BlueLink.
Quality reporting of the processes that hat shapes the quality of life, health and prosperity of local communities is essential for the public to be better informed and able to make decisions and take action, said Inka Thunecke, the director of the Heinrich Boell Foundation's branch in Brandenburg who is leading the project. Improved journalistic coverage will increase public and government support for the struggle against climate change across the CEE region and will thus strengthen Europe's role as global leader in climate policy and business solutions and innovation, Thunecke believes.
Since 2000 the Heinrich-Boell-Stiftung Brandenburg organizes and promotes events of political and cultural education with the objective of supporting democratic decision-making processes and socio-political engagement on regional, superregional and international level and especially in the state of Brandenburg. Its engagement especially gears towards promotion of social policy oriented to ecological, social, democratic and non-violent principles as well as gender democracy; promotion of local and regional action; prevention of the ongoing destruction of all natural resources and the promotion of ecological transformation of society. The Heinrich-Boell-Stiftung Brandenburg works closely with a variety of local, regional and national initiatives, associations and actors and is linked up with the federal Heinrich Boell Foundation across Germany and its international offices.
BlueLink is a pioneering of civil society e-network in Bulgaria since 1998. It is an established hub of IT innovation, coordination, public participation and exchange of information among environmental civil society groups and government agencies. Since 2013 BlueLink has launched and fostered Evromegdan.bg ¬- the Bulgarian virtual magazine for journalism in public interest. To build the skills and capacity of young journalists who investigate and cover issues of nature protection, sustainable development and public interest, BlueLink partners intensively with international and Bulgarian institutions, such as: the Sofia University's Faculty of Journalism; The Green European Foundation; the Guardian Foundation and Climate News Network, UK; Internews, USA; and EEA Grants among others. BlueLink is the Bulgarian member of the Association for Progressive Communications since 2000.

Amanda Mews
Amanda Mews is the entertainment and community reporter with NTV News in St. John's. She has also hosted events for the Big Brothers Big Sisters, and Mighty Girl Day. She started her journey to journalism at Memorial University in 2004, finishing with a Bachelor of Arts in 2009. She studied English with a specialization in theatre/ drama, and minored in Psychology. Along with her degree, Amanda also completed the Diploma in Performance and Communications Media. Always eager to learn new things, Amanda is currently taking a psychology course at MUN, while working full-time. She is also a competitive rower with the Royal St. John's Regatta, her team placing third in the Regatta Championship Race in 2016.
How and why did you decide to attend Memorial for your degree?
I decided to attend Memorial University while I was still in high school. I toyed with the idea of studying elsewhere, but always came back to MUN. I was impressed with the vast breadth of courses offered, and one thing that really stood out to me was the Theatre/ Drama Specialization within the English major. I have always loved language and theatre, so the idea that I could study them both together, was the deal breaker when it came to MUN over other universities.
Do any particular memories stand out from your time here as student?'
When thinking back on my time at Memorial University, certain professors stand-out in my mind. I remember being a little intimidated when I first stepped foot on the St. John's campus, coming from a small town of less than 600. I remember sitting down in my first English 1080 class with Professor Nava Bobby, and just being captivated by her intelligence, and excited energy. I looked forward to her class. No question was out of bounds or went unanswered. I didn't have many female teachers in high school, and I remember being so inspired by Prof. Bobby. I knew no matter where I ended up (I was thinking about pursuing Education at the time), Literature had to play a big role in my education. I finally chose psychology for my minor, but explored business and religion as possibilities. I remember Dr. Hans Rollmann (now retired) in the religious studies department, as another inspiring figure during my studies. I remember doing a project on the 18th century religious play "Nathan the Wise". I would drop by his office to discuss the assignment, and he would get so passionate about it, and we would just get completely lost in the conversation. His knowledge is astounding.
What drew you to study English?
I have always had a love of creative writing, poetry, and the English language. When I first started at Memorial University, I was planning on becoming a high school teacher, with the hopes of teaching literature and theatre. So, what really drew me into a degree in English was the Theatre-Drama Specialization. From the first course towards my specialization, which was Critical Reading and Writing in Drama, I fell in love. After I finished my English degree in theatre/drama, that love of theatrical plays led me to pursue a Diploma in Performance and Communications Media, offered through Memorial University.
How did you land your job at NTV?
When you get right down to it, my pursuit of an English degree was because I love writing and telling stories. I love telling people's stories. When the opportunity for a work placement in the English 5000 course came up, I asked to be involved in journalism. I was taken in as in intern with NTV News in the Spring of 2009, and was submerged in the fast-paced environment of a real newsroom. I was hooked. My first writing gig didn't start until I was hired as a production assistant that summer. I began by researching, writing and editing the Across the Province feature of the (then) new show, NTV News: First Edition. From there, I tried my best to learn everything I could about the industry, technology, and equipment. I went on to fill-in as a weather presenter, write news copy for Ozfm, and finally I began producing my own daily community feature, weekly entertainment feature, and half-hour show! I am extremely thankful for the opportunities I have been given. The best thing is, I am never bored with what I do. There is always something new to learn, and a skill on which to improve.
What's the best piece of advice you ever received?
I have been blessed with some amazing mentors. One piece of advice that sticks out is, "keep it simple". Sounds easy, but it can be the most difficult thing to do when you're writing a story. I was told that you can lose the viewer very quickly, and cumbersome details can get lost easily in television. People aren't reading what you're writing, they're listening to what you're saying. It's important to remember that viewers can't go back and re-read what you wrote if it sounds confusing. You have a maximum of two and a half minutes to tell a story. Every word needs to count.
What's a typical day like for you at NTV?
I start the day by writing or editing entertainment stories from that morning, and record Entertainment Checkpoints that air throughout the day on NTV. Then, sift through the requests for community events and entertainment stories. I line-up future interviews, and set out on a shoot that I lined up in advance. I love this part of my job - meeting people. I get to meet incredible people, and share their story.
Once back at the NTV Newsroom, I edit my story. I write to the visuals I've captured, and turn it into either, Backstage Pass, Your Community or Across the Province features, that will air during the NTV News - typically, that evening. I chat with reporters to find out the biggest stories of the day, and write the Ozfm Headline News, as well as the Entertainment Minute. Once a week I produce a half-hour show called Entertainment News. It's a mix of local content, and notable entertainment news happening worldwide. On Fridays, I have a bit of fun and put together Gone Viral, for the Sunday Evening News.
What has your biggest professional challenge been to date?
My biggest professional challenge so far has been to separate my feelings from my work. My interviews sometimes go way too long because of my personal curiosity, which in turn makes editing a two minute report very difficult. I have also learned how not to be "married to my work" as one mentor calls it. You may write something you love, and have all kinds of beautiful language in there, but sometimes that can distract from the story. I may also get so wrapped up in a story, that I need an extra set of eyes and ears to help me edit it down. Being able to step away and make sure that what you see as important, and what the viewer sees as important, are the same thing.
In a perfect world, what initiative (building, service, cultural offering, etc.) would you add to Newfoundland and Labrador to make it a better place?
In a perfect world, I would love to see a more social approach to mental wellness in the province. I think programs focusing on art, drama, and music therapies would go a long way in helping people who battle with mental illness. We are a people steeped in culture, who I believe, are some of the most creative people on the planet. I think to battle the epidemic of mental illness, we need to use creativity as a therapeutic tool, along with more traditional clinical methods. I think art therapies could also be expanded to help our most vulnerable; putting programs in place for seniors, and low-income earners. Through the years of interviewing artists of every genre, I've learned that there is healing in art. Music, visual and performance art, along with the written word, bring us together and help form our collective identity, as well as build our individual confidence. I believe utilizing art therapies more in the province, would propagate a happier and healthier population.
In what ways has studying humanities/social sciences affected your world view? What do you say to those who question the value of an arts degree?
Completing a Bachelor of Arts degree in English and psychology, has helped me tremendously not only in my career, but in life. I have learned the art of time-management, research, and how to be open to both sides of a debate. Throughout my degree, I have studied political science, business, religion, and history, on top of psychology and literature. That's a pretty broad scope, and the beauty of a BA. A Bachelor of Arts gives you the opportunity to open your mind to whatever interests you, while broadening your awareness of the world around you. You are equipped with tools that help you examine and investigate global and social issues, as well as provided with the keys to personal development. To anyone who questions the value of a BA I would say, "Show me a more rounded person than one with a BA. Show me a degree that offers you a more diverse career choice".
What advice would you give a student who is unsure of what to study?
The advice that I would give a student who is unsure of what to study, is that nothing is wasted. The great thing about Memorial University is that first-year students have a great selection of courses to choose from. You don't need to know your career path right away. Take some time to try a few different subject areas that you haven't been exposed to before, and see how they fit. You may surprise yourself.
What's your favourite place to visit?
My favourite place to visit is still home. I spent much of my life in Birchy Bay, and there is a certain type of peaceful melancholy that I can only find there. It feeds my creativity, and just reminds me to slow down and enjoy life.
What are you reading and listening to, looking at these days?
Being an entertainment reporter means I get to submerge myself in local art! So, right now I'm listening to Cabbages & Kings and The Once's latest album. As for books, I'm currently reading The People Who Stay by Samantha Rideout. If there's one thing I've learned since working at NTV, it's how much raw talent we have in this province. I'm amazed at the number of CDs, books, and art exhibit invites that come across my desk in the run of a week.
What are you most looking forward to within the next year?
I'm a rower with the Royal St. John's Regatta, so I am really looking forward to the Regatta this August. I am also looking forward to finishing the Intro to Neuroscience course I'm working on at MUN, and maybe taking another!

Boston Red Sox defeat Baltimore Orioles, 5-4
Jonathan Papelbon wasn't looking over his shoulder in the ninth inning last night, even as No. 83 in your program, Eric Gagne, began throwing in the Red Sox bullpen.
Papelbon, the once and future closer, was too busy recording his 24th save in a 5-4 win over the Baltimore Orioles. Gagne, it turns out, was merely getting some exercise.
"Just a little touch-and-feel session," Gagne said. "I hadn't thrown in five or six days."

BOSTON -- The duo of Jamie Walker and Chad Bradford has filled in admirably since the Orioles lost closer Chris Ray to an elbow injury. But the pair's promotion to later-game situations has created a glaring hole in the middle of the Orioles' bullpen.

Our clinic has a medical team of dermatologists, dermatologic surgeons and plastic surgeons that can carry out anything from simple surgical techniques such as the removal of cysts, nevus and tumors to the most complex plastic surgery such as blepharoplasties, liposuction, facelifts and breast, nose and neck correction.
In this section, dedicated to skin surgery, we will dedicate to one of the simple procedures, cyst removal.
A cyst is a harmless growth that takes place in the deeper layers of the skin as a result of the blockade of a hair follicle. Its cause and why some people have more than others is unknown at the moment. However, all types of cysts are removable.
Their removal is very easy. After applying local anesthesia and cleaning well the area to be treated, a small surgical opening is performed in the skin in order to extract the liquid or fat trapped under the skin. Occasionally, if the cyst is very large, it may require stitches which are removed a few days later. As a result not only will we be free of cysts, but we will be sure that they will not reappear, since they rarely do so.
Before undergoing any type of surgical procedure, however, it is important to obtain the diagnosis of one of our dermatologists since some cysts do not even need treatment.
Milia (small balls with white surface, they are often found in cheeks after exposure to the sun or an injury). Milia can be easily expelled.
Benign cysts can sometimes be confused with skin cancers, especially a "cystic" or nodular basal cell carcinoma.

Face masks amid the art: New York City's museums to reopen

NEW YORK — When the iconic T. Rex at the American Museum of Natural History again welcomes visitors, it will gaze down at humans acting a bit differently.
They will still gape up at its massive skeleton, but there will less of them. They'll stand farther apart, and will now wear masks. Other pandemic precautions will be on display, from hand sanitizer stations to the one-way signs guiding guests through exhibits.
The museum is like many cultural institutions in the city gingerly reopening their doors, weighing the safety of visitors and staff with the need to educate, inspire and support New York's recovery.
"We have to re-imagine and re-engineer the museum visit," says museum President Ellen Futter. "We want to fulfil our civic mission. And we think that our mission has never been more important."
New York City was by far the hardest-hit U.S. city by the pandemic, but it's also home to world-class cultural institutions that has for decades — city leaders hope will once again — draw millions.
The Museum of Modern Art opens Thursday and The Metropolitan Museum of Art reopens its Upper East Side home on Saturday. The American Museum of Natural History plans to reopen to the public Sept. 9.
City museums will institute a range of precautions, including reduced hours, reserved tickets, mandating masks, limiting attendance to a quarter of capacity and closing movie theatres, coat rooms and food courts.
Some of the new rules may make future trips to a museum less spontaneous and escapist, but there are some benefits.
"It's true that it will be less crowded. It also will be more intimate and it may give people a different view of things. I don't think that will diminish in the least the sense of the visit," said Futter.
Other institutions need a bit more time. The Guggenheim will reopen on Oct. 3, while the 9-11 Memorial Museum will reopen on the anniversary of the terrorist attacks. Whether anyone will come is the big question.
"There are a lot of unknowns out there. We don't know whether people will feel comfortable coming back. We don't know whether they'll feel comfortable being with several hundred people indoors, even if we're a very large space," said Glenn Lowry, MoMA's director.
"We ardently believe that people will want to come back to museums and to see the things that are both familiar and unfamiliar — see the things that animate their mind, that make them feel alive."
Welcoming back visitors is also a chance to end months of lost ticket sales. Each facility has different financial models but for those that rely heavily on attendance, the pandemic has been crippling. The Natural History Museum alone has lost as much as $120 million.
While MoMA is looking at "significant losses" for up to three years, it will not charge visitors for the first month. "It just felt like the right gesture," said Lowry. "I think once you've lost a lot of money, losing a little bit more isn't really the big issue."
To add to the financial burden, most museums have been forced to pay for safety upgrades, like more staff, creating touchless bathrooms and costly air filtration systems.
"Every institution is having to look long and hard at their financial model and scale back, postponing and cancelling programs and events while simultaneously pushing forward on all fundraising cylinders," said Regan Grusy, vice-president of strategic partnerships at the New Museum.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art was one of the first in the city to close and, with no federal guidance, stepped up to help lead a working group of about 25 museums in the city sharing info and creating protocols.
"The question we all face is 'How long will we have to limit the numbers of visitors?' If the answer is 'Five years,' it would be devastating," said Met President and CEO Daniel Weiss.
The Corona neighbourhood in Queens was one the hardest-hit sections of the hardest-hit city. Yet it is home to a museum not built for pandemics — the hands-on, highly interactive New York Hall of Science.
The Hall prides itself on being a place where children engage with the exhibits and it is not willing to change its goals and go touchless or remove exhibitions. It hopes to reopen next spring.
"We're not going to back off of our core approach and core methodology," said Margaret Honey, president and CEO. "We believe that the world will return to doing those kinds of activities when it's safe to do so."
Over in Manhattan, the silent T. Rex at the Natural History museum may actually put the pandemic into perspective. It reminds visitors they are part of a churning evolution.
"We've seen great challenges and really deeply disturbing times before, but we'll get through this," said Futter. "And the museum reopening is part of that for us, for our visitors and for the city. And we're very excited about it."

Schreiber Foods hit with cyberattack; plants closed
Jan Shepel
For Wisconsin State Farmer
Milk distribution was in disarray in Wisconsin this week as one of the state's larger milk processors, Schreiber Foods, was victimized by hackers demanding a rumored $2.5 million ransom to unlock their computer systems.
A spokesman from Schreiber Foods in Green Bay said on Wednesday it had resumed accepting milk deliveries, producing dairy products and shipping products to customers five days after a "cyber event" halted operations at the company's plants and distribution centers.
The cyberattack on the dairy processor came just as the New York Times published a front-page article headlined "Russia restarts cyber operations, despite rebuke" – referring to Russian-linked hackers. The article, which appeared Monday, Oct. 25, outlines how "Russia's premiere intelligence agency has launched another campaign" to pierce computer networks of the U.S. government, corporations and think tanks.
Wisconsin milk handlers and haulers reported getting calls from Schreiber on Saturday (Oct. 23) saying that the company's computer systems were down and that their plants couldn't take the milk that had been contracted to go there. Haulers and schedulers were forced to find alternate homes for milk. As the situation dragged into days, Wisconsin State Farmer has not been able to confirm any reports of milk getting dumped.
Many calls from Wisconsin State Farmer to Schreiber Foods, over several days, were not returned, but an email statement from Andrew Tobisch, director of communications for Schreiber Foods confirmed that the company had suffered a "cyber event." He confirmed that it had impacted the company Friday night and that their team had succeeded in getting their systems back up and running by Monday.
In that statement, obtained Wednesday by the Green Bay Press Gazette, he said "we had a systems issue that impacted our plants and distribution centers. It did impact our ability to receive raw materials, ship product and produce product. We've made good progress in resolving the issue and our plants and distribution centers have begun to start up again."
For employees at the Richland Center yogurt production plant, the first sign that something was wrong came when they were unable to get inside the building to go to work.
Tobisch said that he couldn't go into specifics regarding a ransom request and did not confirm that ransom was demanded, but said the "cyber event" meant that the company's plants and distribution centers couldn't use the impacted systems, which they need to run. "It affected all our locations, but fortunately, we have a specialized response team that immediately jumped into action and began working to resolve the matter. As a result, we've made great progress, and our plants and distribution centers have begun to start up again."
The spokesman said that the company is "receiving raw materials and most plants are up and running."
Schreiber Foods makes natural cheese, processed cheese, cream cheese and yogurt, is an employee-owned company headquartered in Green Bay, Wisconsin. According to the company's website, it has more than 30 locations around the world – in India, Czech Republic, Portugal, France, Mexico, Spain, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Germany and the United States.
The company's Wisconsin plants include Richland Center, West Bend and Green Bay. The company, founded in 1945, has more than 8,000 employees.
"Serious as hell"
"This is serious as hell," said Pete Hardin, editor and publisher of The Milkweed, a national dairy monthly. "Schreiber is one of the nation's big marketers of dairy products, including cheese and yogurt and their supply chain extends back to many Wisconsin cheese plants.
"On top of the supply chain and logistical headaches, the industry does not need this," Hardin said.
Because of the cyberattack, Schreiber is unable to conduct normal ordering of inventories from its suppliers, some of whom confirmed that the hack was real. Milk is backed up at Schreiber facilities and the milk they normally would have taken into their plants ends up going on the market for "distressed" milk, Hardin added. "It's a lose, lose, lose scenario – the farmer, the cooperative, the cheese plant and other companies that buy ingredients from Schreiber," he said. "Maybe it's more like four or five 'loses' in that equation."
Computerized milk-handling systems are involved in raw milk intake at modern dairy plants and systems are responsible for testing raw milk, determining components of that milk as well as inventory, ordering and many other functions. "Everything is computer-controlled these days," Hardin added. "You add up the numbers and there will be ripples statewide and nationwide that could affect retail and food service sectors as well as farmers and other milk plants."
The hack highlights the vulnerability of dairy since the raw product is so perishable, he added.
Hack highlights vulnerability of dairy
"This is huge," Hardin said.
It is huge because Schreiber is such a large dairy company. In recent years, Hardin said, the company had a market share of somewhere in the neighborhood of 75 percent of the yellow cheese that goes on fast-food burgers nationally and is a big supplier of sour cream for food service clients.
The upside Hardin added, is that Wisconsin has so many experienced and sophisticated dairy industry people that they take a "live and let live" attitude – helping others out now, knowing that one day they may need help from other industry peers.
Terry Hanson, general manager of Scenic Central Milk Producers Cooperative, confirmed that the Schreiber hack and shutdown were real and had taken place; some of his producers' milk had to be sent to other dairy plants.
"I don't know much other than it is real. It happened and it's nationwide," he told us.
There was another similar hack on a dairy plant, eight months ago that he was aware of. He questioned why companies want to put all their operations under one computerized system that makes it easier to hack.
As for the last few days, Hanson said some of the state's dairy co-ops were most likely able to juggle their loads between their own plants but for service co-ops like Scenic Central, it was a bit more challenging. "If it had been planned, we could have handled it a lot better. And of course it happened on the weekend which is always tough," he said.
Hanson said it was his understanding that Schreiber would be back up and running again on Wednesday, Oct. 27. "I sure hope so," he added.
Other ag hacks
The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) lists food and agriculture as one of 16 critical infrastructure sectors. The agency is a standalone U.S. federal agency, founded in 2018, under the Department of Homeland Security's oversight.
About a month ago, an Iowa grain cooperative was hacked by a Russian-linked hacking group "BlackMatter," which demanded $5.9 million to unlock its data. New Cooperative Inc., based in Fort Dodge, proactively took its systems offline to contain the threat, the co-op told The Wall Street Journal.
In that hack, compromised data included financial information, legal and executive information and the source code for a soil mapping input management tool used by the co-op.
In the food and agriculture sector, the Iowa cooperative hack followed the cyberattack on meatpacking giant JBS in May, 2021, which disabled the Brazil-based company's beef and pork slaughterhouses in the United States, Canada and Australia. Online sources reported that in the twelve months preceding the JBS ransomware attack, more than 40 additional attacks on food producers occurred. Some targets were as large as Molson Coors, the beer maker.
In the JBS hack, the company said it had paid an $11 million ransom to the cyber -criminals so that it could unlock operations in 13 of its meat processing plants and to prevent the destruction of critical data by the hackers.
In Wisconsin, one dairy source, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Wisconsin State Farmer that they knew of a hack that had hit a dairy business in Wisconsin around the time of World Dairy Expo – "and it wasn't Schreiber."

Kylie Jenner shows off her HUGE two-story Christmas tree in adorable video
Earlier, Kylie dropped the heart-melting snaps on her Instagram with her sister Kendall Jenner
Kylie Jenner got into the festive spirit as she unveiled a two-story Christmas tree on Sunday.
The Kylie Cosmetics mogul, 25, posted a video of the towering beautiful Christmas tree in all its splendor adding: ''Tis the season,' Jenner captioned the jaw-dropping compilation
With Michael Buble's It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas playing throughout her video, The Kardashians star showed off her magnificent tree as delivery men set it up in her massive foyer.

YAY! It's International Coffee Day!
How I would love to sit in a cozy café and celebrate this day face-to-face with you! We could share fun stories, life struggles, and work at solving all the world's problems. We could talk about what we are learning, how we are leading, and how we are growing and changing through our experiences and community influences.
… and we could talk about International Coffee Day!!
Many of us are enamored with coffee! (I hope you tea and juice drinkers will bear with me today!) We drink coffee in the morning to come alert; in the afternoon to keep momentum going through the day, and into the evening as dessert after a great meal. We drink coffee with family, with dear friends, with fellow students, colleagues and clients, and with new acquaintances to "break the ice". Coffee brings comfort, memories, and energy to life!
We savor our coffee in all kinds of ways: espresso, americanos, lattes or cappuccinos; iced, decaf, instant, filter, and pressed; with and without additional flavorings and syrups, sugars, sweeteners, and creamers.
I began my coffee addiction habit with the strong aroma of percolating coffee daily announcing to me that morning had arrived in my childhood home. In college, I began to drink huge classes of iced, heavily and artificially sweetened coffee as I studied long into the night. I sacrificially cut back to decaf during my pregnancy and nursing years, but today I drink it black and bold and all day long.
International Coffee Day celebrates the long history of this awesome drink. Historians believe the properties of coffee beans were first discovered in Ethiopia. Coffee beans are actually the pits of the berry grown on the coffee plant. Tradition claims a 9th century goat herder noticed their stimulating effects on his goats and began experimenting. Coffee became popular in the Arab world around the 15th century, then spread to Asia, then to Italy, across Europe, finally arriving to the Americas.
Countries that celebrate International Coffee Day on September 29th include: Australia, Canada, England, Ethiopia, Hungary, Malaysia, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, and the United States.
Where are you drinking your coffee today? How do you like your coffee?

I'd love to be drinking it with you, my friend! Sharing a common habit (yes, my friend, ADDICTION) together, talking, sharing, laughing, being real and deep. That makes me grin.
Let's have a coffee date again soon!
¡¡Excelente!! Me encanta el café… y el mejor ingrediente que se le puede agregar es la buena compañía de buenos amigos y seres amados. Hacía tiempo que no comentaba, lo que no significa que no leyera tus artículos. Son siempre muy enriquecedores. Saludos y abrazos.
Muchas gracias, Vero! Estoy de acuerdo… no hay nada mejor que un buen café en la compañía de los seres queridos. Y tú eres una de ellos para mí! Te mando un gran abrazo!
What a great memory! Happy International Coffee Day to you too!
I like my coffee with you! 😄 Well done!
I feel the same way. Thanks. Love you!
