Blue Exorcist Season 3: Releases Soon? Renewal Updates & Plot Details
By Pheobe
Back in the day, A-1 Pictures surprised us all by bringing back one of the best dark anime of all time. As of now, we can't help but think about Blue Exorcist Season 3. The demand for a third season is increasing every day. Will it ever make it to the screens? What's in the future of Ao no Exorcist Season 3? Here's everything you need to know.
The 2011 Blue Exorcist anime series is an adaptation of Kazue Katō's popular manga series of the same name. The first season came out back in April 2011 and ran for 25 episodes alongside one OVA episode. Aside from the fans of the manga, the television series gained a huge fanbase for itself. Despite its massive demand, animation studio A-1 Pictures took around six years to release the show's sequel. Two OVA episodes followed the second installment after it premiered in early 2017.
Blue Exorcist Season 3: Renewed Or Canceled?
Lately, the fans had lost their hopes for the second season. Blue Exorcist Season 2 took six years to return and surprised everyone with some exciting episodes. After its premiere, A-1 Pictures and companies related to its production stopped talking about the future of the anime. However, fortunately, the producers have not canceled the series yet. Hence, there's still hope for another sequel.
On the other hand, it's still pretty early to demand more episodes. The studio usually takes several years to produce sequels. Besides, the second season took half a dozen years to return too. Hence, fans might need to wait for a few more years. The release date of Blue Exorcist Season 3 will vary depending on the time taken in productions.
Sadly, A-1 Pictures might not begin the productions of Blue Exorcist Season 3 anytime soon. Due to the Coronavirus outbreak, the studio is running behind its schedule. Many studios and production companies had to cancel or delay some of their upcoming projects due to the pandemic situation. Hence, it's likely that A-1 Pictures might wait for its schedule to get in place before renewing a sequel of one of its old anime.
How Many Episodes Will Be There In The New Season?
The first season of the fant asy anime consisted of a total of 25 episodes alongside one OVA episode. However, Season 2 of the series adjusted to the current pattern of episodes. Unlike most of the older anime, these latest shows have lesser episodes. The number usually falls between ten to twelve episodes. Therefore, the second installment of Blue Exorcist wrapped up with twelve episodes and two OVA episodes. Hence, it's highly likely that Blue Exorcist Season 2 will have the same number of episodes.
Is There Enough Source Material For Another Season?
Kazue Kato's dark fantasy manga series has a huge fanbase all around the globe. Fans have continued to love and support all 25 volumes of the ten-year-old manga. The television anime turned out to one of the few adaptations that stay loyal to their source material. In fact, readers believe that the anime does full justice to the Blue Exorcist manga.
The first season of the anime adaptation covered the plot of the first four manga volumes. Whereas, Season 2 of the series consumed a similar amount of original content. It adapted the story of Volume 5 through 9. This leaves sixteen manga volumes for adaptation in the future. Blue Exorcist Season 3 is likely to pick up the next four or five books for the latest episodes. Even then, A-1 Pictures will still have enough source material to continue the anime for a few more sequels.
Plot Details Of Blue Exorcist Season 3
The forthcoming season of the Blue Exorcist anime might get much more exciting this time. The new episodes are likely to be based on Volume 10 to 13 or 14 of the manga series. Hence, the story of Blue Exorcist Season 3 will explore Rin and his friends dealing with a group called the Illuminati. Lucifer, the King of Light, leads the infamous group. The Illuminati's main goal is to resurrect Satan and unleash demons and zombies upon the world.
Ahead in the story, viewers will get to know about the invention of the Gehenna Gate. In the manga, the Gehenna Gate is described as the portal between the material world where the humans live, Assiah, and the world of demons, Gehenna. The Illuminati constructed this portal in the territory of the former Russian nuclear plant. As the group failed to make its engine work, only the Exorcists were able to pass through the gate, yet they eventually failed. As a result, the Illuminati forced to reunite both the worlds. The twin brothers, Rin and Yukio, will attempt to cease their plan in Blue Exorcists Season 3.
When Will Blue Exorcist Season 3 Release?
As of now, A-1 Pictures has not renewed the anime for Blue Exorcist Season 3. The studio might take a few years to complete the productions of the next season. Hence, no new episodes of anime might premiere anytime before early to mid-2022. Keep an eye on this corner for all future updates about Blue Exorcist Season 2.

Professors Talk about diversity
Posted on November 4, 2020 by Southern News	Leave a comment
Jessica Guerrucci – Editor-in-Chief
Desteny Maragh – Reporter
An hour of virtual anti-bias and critical race theory teaching featured 10 professors who spoke on the issues of diversity, equity and anti-bias training.
The discussion centered on an executive order, "Combating Race and Sex Stereotyping," passed by President Donald Trump on Sept. 22.
"The purpose of the order is to forbid federal agencies and federal contractors to offer any training that includes what the order deems 'divisive concepts' and forbid the use of federal grant funds for such training," said librarian and Women and Gender Studies liaison Kari Swanson.
The discussion, "Critical Race Theory," was moderated by Yi-Chun Tricia Lin, chair of women and gender studies. It was held on Oct. 26 via Facebook Live.
The order they discussed was intended to "promote economy and efficiency in federal contracting, to promote unity in the federal workforce, and to combat offensive and anti-American race and sex stereotyping and scapegoating." However, it brought a very different response.
KC Councilor, professor of communications, media and screen studies, spoke about the role of language and how references to LGBTQ+ people were erased from websites after Trump's inauguration.
He discussed how the order has "color blind individualism" that seeks to maintain a white supremist status quo. He said he believes the order shows a deep anxiety about the shift in consciousness that is happening since the tide is turing toward justice.
Swanson said the language of the order suggests that marginalized people are committing acts of racism against white people by providing training aimed at enhancing mutual understanding of race and gender equality within the federal force.
Ultimately, she described the executive order as "a form of censorship that strips federal agencies from the freedom to fulfill these American principles of equality and fairness."
Cassie Meyerhoffer, associate professor of sociology, said racism did not begin with Trump and it will not end with Joe Biden, if elected. However, what is "terrifying" about the order is the idea that people don't see color so white people don't have to be uncomfortable or see their role in upholding a the racist social order.
Diane Ariza, Vice President of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, called the executive order a "personal attack."
"By ignoring racial difference and the reality of deeply institutionalized injustices to racial minorities, we continue to perpetuate oppression and the status quo," Ariza said.
She said critical race theory is one of the many theoretical frameworks that offers the ability to examine how issues of power, race and racism continue to be embedded in structures, policies and procedures.
Janani Umamaheswar, assistant professor in the department of sociology, also spoke. Her perspective came from her studies in criminology, incarceration and gender.
"This color blind attitude, this notion that we can approach questions of social equity and social justice from a race neutral and gender neutral, is fundamentally flawed," Umamaheswar said.
She said it is important to not be neutral in race conversations because race matters and we need people to have these conversations head on.
Brandon Hutchinson, Associate Professor of English, said people don't get beyond the issues of race by deciding not to talk about it anymore; it will always come back and reassert itself.
Speaking as a white female speech-language pathologist, Barbra Cook, Associate Professor of Communication Disorders, said critical race theory is important to her work as meeting the needs of individuals whose needs are not being met, as they are over or under identified.
Instead of hiding stereotypes, she said people need to learn to understand racism and learn about how different cultures influence each other.
As a historian, Siobhan Carter-David, Associate Professor of History and Women's and Gender Studies, said perhaps criminalizing the discussion around critical race theory becomes problematic when it comes time to do her job.
"If we think about critical race theory, one of the major points that it proposes is that white supremacy and racial power are maintained over time, and in particular that law may play a role in this process," she said.
She said it is impossible to teach U.S. history without understanding the role that white supremacy has played in the nation's history, even if it feels uncomfortable.
The order, according to Luciana McClure, a women's and gender studies MA student and graduate assistant, is attempting to erase the U.S. oppressive history. As a woman, mother, and immigrant, she said her and the people she loves feel personally impacted.
As educators, she said it's is their duty to make sure the order does not move forward.
Stephen Monroe Tomczak, Professor of Social Work, said it is important students learn about critical race theory and understand how the executive order restricts and undermines everyone.
"As I pointedly tell my students on the first day of class," he said, "you cannot understand social welfare policy in the United States without a deep understanding of the impact of racism and other forms of oppression on its development, design and structure."

Creag Ruadh and Dun-da-Lamh day meet – 5 January 2020
15th January 2020 /0 Comments/in Meet Reports /by Ewen Macniven
Eleven brave souls pitched up at the car park by Balsporran Cottage at Drumochter, possibly enthused by new year resolutions or possibly just not having seen the MWIS dire forecast for the day. The cloud crept down the mountains and the wind gusts drove the rain into our faces as we exchanged new year greetings. By a unanimous show of hands we agreed to seek something lower and a bit more sheltered. Dougie's option of heading straight for coffee was voted down – we were made of sterner stuff.
And so we adjourned to a very pleasant walk in Strath Mashie from Feagour, near the Wolftrax Mountain Bike Centre, through Black Wood. Our first objective was Dun-da-Lamh, an early Pictish hill fort from around 400AD which sits high on a crag at the north-east end of Black Craig above Glen Shira and the River Spey to the north and Strath Mashie to the south. The remains of the walls are up to about 2m high and up to 7m thick, so it must have been a very impressive structure.
Black Craig
We wandered along the top of Black Craig sheltered by very nice stands of Scots pines, and it was only when we exited the trees to squelch up the Graham, Creag Ruadh, that we were exposed to the rain and wind. Normally, there are fine views from Creag Ruadh, but today all that we could see was that the summit was adorned by a tall cylindrical trig pillar, which as you will all know is called a "Vanessa" rather than the familiar Hotine design of pillar.
A wet summit party on Creag Ruadh with Vanessa
We scurried off into the shelter of the forest, which turned out to be a bit more interesting than we anticipated with obstacles of wind blown trees, and a rather special line in dead trees which toppled when given a gentle nudge. That led to some nifty footwork from Wendell and Arthur as they stood, momentarily mesmerised by one such trunk heading towards them.
We rounded off an excellent day with coffee at Wolftrax.
Participants: Arthur, John, Dougie, Wendell, Dan, Michael, Irene, Robin and potential members Charlotte, Brian and Carol.

Carn Chuinneag and Navigation Course, 8 December 2019
The six Corbetteers – three members and three prospective members – started up Glencalvie from the end of the public road near Glen Calvie Lodge. One hundred and seventy five years earlier, Glencalvie had been the site of one of the most poignant episodes in the clearances when eighteen families from the glen were evicted and sought refuge in the nearby Croick Churchyard. Some of their names and messages can still be seen scratched on the church windows.
The track up Glencalvie made for fast walking and we were soon at the start of the fine stalkers path which ascends the north spur of Carn Chuinneag's west top which surprisingly, does not seem to have a separate name. We had hoped that the spur would provide shelter from the strong south westerly squalls of sleet and snow. We were to be disappointed. However, from the west top we had the wind at our back as we headed to the summit in cloud and driving snow. No-one in the party took any photographs whatsoever and we quickly set off down the lee side of the north ridge, trying to glean whatever shelter we could. Soon we were out of the cloud and heading down to Glencalvie again. Passing Diebidale Lodge we idly speculated about it being a fine location for a club outing. But at £3000 per week, we quickly put that out of our minds.
Navigation course with Mountaineering Scotland
The navigators had equally poor weather and combined some desktop work on avalanche awareness and winter route planning with navigation practice in the forest around Glenmore Lodge.
Some of the take-aways which the team shared are the need for winter route planning that takes account of weather patterns, recent wind directions, slope aspect and slope angles in assessing avalanche risk. The SAIS avalanche reports have now started for this winter, and their "Be Avalanche Aware" app and website provides really good advice on planning winter trips and the things to be aware of throughout the day. The team were also introduced to an excellent app called "Fatmap" which provides 3D satellite images of terrain, which can be overlaid by filters like slope aspect or slope angle.
… and at night!
The value of bothy bags providing group shelter was reinforced, and the need to vary pacing counts to take account of darkness, ground conditions, snow cover and slope were all brought firmly home – in the dark, in the forest! Thanks to Dougie and Irene for these take-aways.
Carn Chuinneag group: Ewen, Robin, Arthur, and prospective members Charlotte, Maria and Brian.
Navigators: Dougie, Dan, Kirsty R., Irene and George.

Kintail Christmas Dinner, 13-14 December 2019
27th December 2019 /0 Comments/in Meet Reports /by Ewen Macniven
The snow started to fall quietly as we walked up to the Bealach an Sgairne heading for A'Glas-bheinn, above. This was in some contrast to our last visit on the Christmas meet last year, when we were battered by strong winds and abandoned our attempt a few metres above the bealach. There was no repeat this year. The fresh snow accumulating on the Eastern flank of the hill needed a little care when rounding the succession of bumps and false summits that guard the way to the summit of A'Glas-bheinn. The snow stopped and the ascent gave excellent walking in fresh winter conditions. No hill day is complete without finishing on steep, wet, grassy slopes. And we duly found these when descending over A' Mhuc to pick up the path back to Morvich at the edge of the forest.
Sgurr an t-Searraich and Sgurr na Moraich from south of Shiel Bridge
The team of eight arrived back at the Kintail Outdoor Centre to meet up with the other club members. Michael had walked part of the Affric Kintail Way up Gleann Lichd. Lizzie and Albert walked up the path beside the Allt Undalain from the Shiel Bridge campsite. Jim, Ewen and Catherine had chosen to ascend Beinn a' Mheadhain from Killilan – a Marilyn whose modest height belies the difficulty in reaching its summit. It is defended on two sides by water, then on three sides by crags and the apparently "easy" side is defended by rocky lumps and grassy bumps – not to mention a couple of lochs. Robin was last to appear from his ascent of the nearby Corbett, Sgurr an Airgid. He had a contemplative day on the hill – his GPS showing 4 hours walking and 3 hours at rest.
Lunch stop – sheltering from spindrift
Our fine Christmas dinner rounded off the day. The choice of three starters, three main courses and four sweets preceded by mulled wine and rounded off by fine chat beside the wood burning stove made for a very sociable evening.
Sunday was a less active day. I am unsure whether the crop of sore feet, sore hips, sore knees and sore heads should be attributed to the exertions of the previous day or the previous evening. Ewen, Jim, Catherine and Andreas had a pleasant walk in the woods at Balmacara; Irene and Dan followed Lizzie and Albert's trail from the previous day; Kirsty, Michael and Arthur drove to Glenelg then decided in favour of the Eilean Donan coffee shop; and Robin got wet in the glen behind Coulags. Participants: Masoud, Andreas, Dan, Ewen, Arthur, Kirsty R., Jim, Wendell, Michael, Irene, Robin, Albert, Lizzie, Richard and Catherine.

Ballater meet, 22-23 November
29th November 2019 /0 Comments/in Meet Reports /by Ewen Macniven
The Club's weekend meet to Ballater was notable for the dreich weather, superb accommodation at Ballater Hostel and an enjoyable dinner celebrating the birthday of one of the party. Although hills of varying stature were climbed, there is little photographic evidence of this so we must rely on the words of those involved…..
On Saturday, Dan, Dougie, Kirsty G, John and Irene had an ascent into the clag on Morrone. Fay and David visited a couple of the Balmoral cairns and Gelder Shiel bothy, and on Sunday cycled to Aboyne on the disused railway then up to the Glen Tanar visitor centre, and back to Ballater on the south Deeside road.
On Morrone
Steve spent the weekend in pursuit of Marilyns, bagging three on Saturday on the drive north. With even lower cloud on Sunday, he kept heading south to find a cloud free hill, but to no avail. Neither Kings Seat near Coupar Angus nor even the diminutive Moncrieffe Hill south of Perth at just 223m afforded a view. Though all small in height, the combined ascents nevertheless tallied to a respectable 1000m.
One Corbett bagger, who shall remain nameless, made an early start on Friday which saw him set off totally preoccupied with a walking pole refusing to lock, and heading on the wrong path leading to the wrong ridge. Our hero promised himself to concentrate when at the summit and taking a different route down. However, he reports that the GPS showed that his concentration powers were on a par with a goldfish. He is signed up for our navigation course.
Despite guidebook promises of superb views and fine outlooks, Arthur's weekend involved following hill tracks and fencelines into the clag until a trig point or summit cairn was encountered, and then following another hill track or fenceline out of the clag. This performance was acted out on Friday on Cat Law; again on Saturday on Mount Battock with Robin and Richard; and again on Sunday on Gaellaig Hill with eight of the group.
Exiting Burn o'Vat
Robin compensated for the lack of views by poring over the map to come across some interesting place names – a croft named Flatnadreich, another simply called Waggles, and a gorge in the River North Esk tagged the Rocks of Solitude. One such finely named place that most of the group thought well worth a visit was Burn o' Vat – above and top – a pot formed by glacial meltwater in the Muir of Dinnet National Nature Reserve.
The extent to which we enjoyed the celebration of a significant birthday of one our group is perhaps illustrated by the array of eleven misplaced items that were left in the Hostel following our departure. Participants: Andreas, Dan, Dougie, Kirsty G., Fay, David, Richard, Steve, John, Michael, Irene, Robin, Arthur, Kirsty R. and the posh folk in Airb&b – Cerian, Mel and Sherine.

Maol Chean-dearg, 10 November 2019
14th November 2019 /in Meet Reports /by Ewen Macniven
An encouraging weather forecast did not disappoint. The conditions in Glencarron were excellent, and we decided to ascend Maol Chean-dearg from Coulags. There had been a hard frost, and the ground was well frozen – handy for negotiating boggy country. The first part of the walk up the glen was by the track to the new hydro dam. There are few suitable glens these days without a run-of-the-river scheme; much less intrusive than the windfarms.
An Ruadh-Stac
Past the stone where legendary hero Fionn tethered his dog when he went off to fight the baddies, then take the track to the left towards the col. We cast a few longing glances up at An Ruadh-Stac; padding up the slabs is great on a summer's day, but route-finding on the way down can be awkward – and slippery in these conditions! We left it for another day.
At the col, we left the path leading over to Torridon and struck off right up the hill path; well-defined in most places, but crossing a few boulder fields. The weather had been calm up until this point; we started to feel the wind chill heading onto the higher slopes. By the top the visibility was superb, but we were glad of the shelter of the elaborate cairn. Great views north to Torridon, west to the Applecross hills, south to Ben Nevis, east to the Monar hills…..
A well-deserved summit break
After a lengthy photographic stop at the summit we reluctantly headed back down the same way, stopping off at the bothy for some food and drink and getting back to the car at dusk, around 4.30; late enough for this time of year. But we cheered ourselves with the thought that the sun will be coming back towards us in around six weeks' time!
The day was rounded off by a visit to the Ledgowan Hotel in Achnasheen and their ever-welcoming hosts, blazing fire and comfortable armchairs. The team this time was Daniel, Masoud, Michael, Dougie and Ewen.

Kinlochleven, 25-26 October 2019
2nd November 2019 /in Meet Reports /by IMC Treasurer
The view from my window of snow on Ben Wyvis on Friday morning had me excitedly scrabbling around to find my ice axe as I packed for the Kinlochleven meet. Alas, it was a false promise of early season soft, unconsolidated snow, but hopefully an early portent of good things to come.
Kinlochleven, since the closure of the Alcan plant twenty years ago, has been transforming itself from a factory town into a tourist destination and centre for mountain pursuits. The town is surrounded on three sides by mountains with networks of walking and biking trails, it is an important staging point on the West Highland Way and hosts the Ice Factor which contains the world's biggest indoor ice climbing wall. In the last few years the surrounding mountains have been the venue for the series of extreme Scottish Skyline races – the Mamores Vertical Kilometre, the Ben Nevis Ultra, The Ring of Steall Skyline and the Glen Coe Skyline – all of which start or finish, or start and finish, at Kinlochleven.
Ascending Glas Bheinn, Buachaille Etive Mor in the background
The assiduous reader will have noted that little has been said, so far, of the towering peaks ascended or the feats of derring do undertaken by your correspondent and his companions, however, the photo at the top of this report demonstrates otherwise; it shows Garbh Beinn, Kinlochleven and Beinn na Caillich, with Mam na Gualainn behind.
Saturday saw two parties ascend, in squally weather, a quite unprepossessing Corbett – Glas Bheinn – which lies between Loch Eilde Mor and the Blackwater Reservoir. Despite the modest size of the hill itself, its position – with the Mamores to the North, Glencoe to the South and Ben Alder to the east – gave superb mountain views. One party descended below the dam of the Reservoir to visit the small graveyard for men who were killed in the construction of the Reservoir. Some of them perished in winter weather walking back to camp from the Kingshouse, others in the construction of the dam which is nearly one kilometre long and was the last major dam built without mechanised help, with 3000 navvies employed in its construction.
Proof of snow, Glas Bheinn
Your correspondent also summitted Garbh Bheinn to the South of Loch Leven in fairly windy conditions on Friday and, on Sunday with Robin, traversed Beinn na Caillich and Mam na Gualainn, on the north side of Loch Leven. Dougie and Michael were thwarted in their ascent of Fraochaidh from Glen Duror by a missing bridge over the River Duror, and by forestry plantations. Other lesser hills were ascended en route home.
Participants: Arthur, Steve, Michael, Dougie, Kirsty R., Jim, Ewen, Ian (guest), Peter, Marion, Robin.

Glenelg Hills, 13 October 2019
18th October 2019 /in Meet Reports /by IMC Treasurer
The road sign at the entrance to Glenelg proclaiming that it is twinned with Glenelg, Mars always raises a smile as you head to the Skye Ferry or the Beinn Sgritheall hills.
We were aiming for a pair of sibling Corbetts – Beinn nan Caorach and Beinn na h-Eaglaise – which, it turned out had been visited before by only one of our party and then only Beinn nan Caorach had been climbed by your correspondent. With that sketchy claim to local knowledge the party set off from Corran at the road end for the track into Coire Chorsalain to pick up the grassy east ridge of Beinn nan Caorach to the accompanying roaring of rutting stags on the hillside below.
Beinn na h-Eaglaise and Beinn Sgritheall from Beinn nan Caorach
The weather turned out much better than forecasts earlier in the week had led us to anticipate. Ascending the ridge and at the summit we had superb views of Knoydart and the Small Isles round to Skye, interrupted only by the looming bulk of Beinn Sgritheall, and then northwards to the Torridon hills. The views eastwards gave a hint of building cloud and a chill in the wind prompted us to move on. We descended easily to the wide, grassy Bealach Dhruim nam Bo ("bealach of the ridge of the cows"). This was obviously popular country for cattle grazing, because apart from the bealach there was Druim nam Bo itself, two separate corries with that name and a burn named Allt Coire Dhruim nam Bo. Although we had seen a fine herd of cattle in Glen Arnisdale, there were no sign of any this high on the hill.
A relaxed group on Beinn na h-Eaglaise overlooking Loch Hourn
The steep pull up the North East ridge of Beinn na h-Eaglaise soon had us on the airy summit, with even steeper slopes dropping away to Loch Hourn. The breeze had dropped, and a spot just a little way south of the summit was a fine place to linger and drink in the views across Loch Hourn to Knoydart and across the Sound of Sleat to the Small Isles. The toughest bit of the day was the descent off, with my knees complaining about it even on the following day. We headed off on the easiest ground to Beinn Bhuidhe, then picked our way down the steep, but nowhere difficult, ground back to the track up Glen Arnisdale.
It was altogether a very nice day in a special place. The fairly long drive to Corran and the fact that we neither met nor saw anyone else all day added to the sense of remoteness of these hills. Participants: Dougie, Dan, Michael, Helen, Robin, Arthur.

Dun Flodigarry, Skye, 27-28 September 2019
8th October 2019 /in Meet Reports /by IMC Treasurer
A young lady in white trainers and pink jacket emerged out of the mist as she descended the muddy path from the summit of Meall na Suiramach. We felt distinctly over-dressed and over-equipped in our full hillwalking gear among the end of season tourists seeking out famous film locations on Skye. Although we climbed past the Needle to the Table in the Quiraing we saw no sign of Macbeth, Snow White or the Huntsman. The photo above is looking south along the Trotternish Ridge to Cleat and Bioda Buidhe from the Quiraing path.
In truth, neither the visitors nor the midgies bothered us much on this weekend. On the Storr most visitors did not venture much beyond the Old Man, and on the Quiraing few folk ventured past the Prison. The lower slopes of the hills were no busier than Ben Lomond or Ben Nevis, and once past the main attractions we saw relatively few people.
Heading up to the Needle at the Quiraing
After some grumbling about paying for parking, Saturday saw most of the party head up past the Old Man of Storr across Coire Scamadal to the Storr summit and then on to Hartaval for a short day. The completion of the new car parking, toilets and footpath should make significant and much needed improvements to the badly degraded route to the Old Man.
A visit to look for Sauropod footprints at An Corran at Staffin completed our afternoon. The evening entertainment was provided by a school of porpoises feeding in Poldorais – "The bay of the burying place" – below the hostel between Skye mainland and Eilean Flodigarry.
View from the Table at the Quiraing
Sunday saw us approach the Quiraing from Loch Langaig rather than the usual parking place on the Staffin to Uig road. That approach, and a north to south traverse of Meall na Suiramach, kept us out of the crowd for a bit until our return via the main path from the car park through the Quiraing. Again the number of visitors did not detract greatly from the tottering cliffs and pinnacles. Most of the people we spoke to seemed to be from Europe or the United States – perhaps a reflection of the exchange rates. A really enjoyable meet was enhanced by the excellent Dun Flodigarry hostel.
Participants: John, Arthur, Michael, Robin, Wendell, Masoud, Rob (potential new member), Peter, Marion, Sarah, Jim.

Grey Corries, 15 September 2019
24th September 2019 /in Meet Reports /by IMC Treasurer
We paid our respects to the slightly scary figure of the Wee Minister on the track above Corriechoillie. The plaque at the wooden statue says it is of the Reverend John McIntosh but I am told that local opinion favours it being Dr Thomas Chalmers, the first Moderator of the local Free Church. Once we got through the forest and onto open ground the group split. The keen squad of Dougie, Dan and Masoud strode off up the hill for a trio of Grey Corries Munros. The remainder of the group continued for a bit up the Lairig Leacach track for a brace of Corbetts.
The Grey Corries
Dougie, Masoud and Dan report that they had a grand but tiring day on the three Munros. They made a traverse of the Grey Corries from Stob Choire Claurigh as far as Sgurr Choinnich Mor, prior to returning back along the ridge as far as Stob Coire Easain before descending its north ridge. The ascent of the first hill, Stob Choire Claurigh, was mired in rain and wind and demanded a bit of compass work. Happily, whilst resting on the top the weather backed off and blue skies appeared. Following the second Munro there was an unanimous decision that a third was needed. However, the notorious exit through the forest plantation below Stob Coire Easain's north ridge knocked the stuffing out of three tired bodies and on finally descending there was a unanimous view that the third Munro was probably a wrong decision. A late return to the vehicles meant a drive straight back home without a pub stop – but it was a nice day out.
The Innses group
The rest of the party headed for the two rocky Corbetts of Cruach Innse and Sgurr Innse to the east of the Larig Leacach. On the summit of Cruach Innse, we discovered that we had gained an additional companion – a solo walker from Aberdeen who was having a week Corbett bagging. A steepish descent to the bealach led on to the rockier ascent of Sgurr Innse with its myriad of hillwalker's trails trying to find the best way through the rocks and crags, although it was nowhere difficult. A descent – possibly by the same way – stroll along the track and very brief interlude in the Spean Bridge Hotel bar completed the day.
Participants: Arthur, Dougie, Dan, Masoud, Shauna (potential new member), Wendell, Michael, Kirsty R., Robin, Andreas and a.n.other.

Glencoe, 30-31 August 2019
4th September 2019 /in Meet Reports /by IMC Treasurer
The SMC hut at Lagangarbh – photo above – was the venue for this meet; we had most of the twenty available bunks. We were joined by a group of four who took up the SMC places, but even this young and fit group thought twice about tackling one of the easier ridges of Buachaille Etive Mor; it just wasn't sensible in the conditions, which on Saturday were appalling.
Dan on the Glenorchy hills
Undeterred, Dan and Dougie went to Glen Orchy to climb the Corbetts of Beinn Udlaidh and Beinn Bhreac-liath. They claim that the weather was not too bad, with the tops clearing on descent of Beinn Udlaidh offering views to the Tyndrum peaks. Michael walked from Lagangarbh over the Devil's Staircase and down to Kinlochleven, returning the same way. An enjoyable but wet walk!
Buachaille Etive Beag
Sunday dawned with better weather; Irene, Michael and Dan had a good walk up Buachaille Etive Beag. Mostly clear tops, brief squalls and fine views, and importantly given the amount of water on the hills, no river crossings. The sunglasses even had to be deployed intermittently. John had a good day on Creise in the Blackmount – below. The way from Meall a' Bhuiridh looked very challenging from afar, but proved to be straightforward with a clear path, and one climb of about 2m. Only a few showers until after he was ensconced in the cafe. Nearly a clear summit, and the day finished with a rainbow.
The Blackmount
Meanwhile Jim, accompanied by Ewen on the first hill, indulged in a Marilyn-bagging expedition to Meall Mor and Glas Bheinn to the south of Loch Ba. The hills may only have been 500m high and a mile on either side of the A82, but gave superb views of the Blackmount, Orchy hills, Rannoch Moor, Glencoe ……… Other participants in the meet were Steve, Terence and Andreas.

Whether you plan to attend an English speaking university or English speaking company, then our exam preparation course is for you. All accredited English speaking universities and majority of English speaking companies will require English speaking competency test of some sort. The English speaking competency test will certify that you can speak the necessary level of English that is required by the university or employer.
Our language school in San Francisco provides exam preparation classes for the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) and the Cambridge ESOL exams (English for Speakers of Other Languages). The TOEFL exam is a requirement of all accredited American universities and by many international companies. The course is optimised for students that have an intermediate level of English and includes 20 or 28 lessons, consisting of 50 minutes, with a maximum class size of 12 students. Our intensive exam preparation course, consisting of 28 lessons in total, will be broken down into 20 lessons of exam preparation and 8 lessons of general English. Both courses focuses on writing, speaking, comprehension and reading which are all covered in the TOEFL exam. The course will be offered five times a year.
The Cambridge ESOL preparation consists of three different language courses which are the Upper Intermediate (FCE), Advanced (CAE and Proficiency (CPE). Each exam certifies the student with a knowledge base from FCE as the upper middle level and the CPE as the highest knowledge level. The courses focus on the central elements of writing, speaking, comprehension and reading a foreign language. The course is offered in two intensities consisting of 20 or 28 lessons per week. As the Cambridge ESOL exam is offered three times a year our course will take place 8 to 12 weeks prior to the exam dates (March, June and December).
The business exam TOEIC (Test of English for International Communication) is designed for international students and participants in the business area. The test preparation will take 4 weeks to complete and can consist of either 20 or 28 lessons, consisting of 50 minutes apiece. The standard course of 20 lessons will consist of exam preparation for the TOEIC exam. The more intense program will add an additional 8 lessons of general English lessons to the standard 20 lessons of exam preparation. This exam preparation course requires at least an intermediate level of English and will begin on specific dates.


Several have requested a document describing the vlingo/platform architecture. So here it is. This specific article is kept relatively brief. This is in part to emphasize the simplicity of the vlingo/platform. It's just not complicated or difficult to describe. The other motivation for brevity is not knowing entirely what architects and developers are looking for in such a document. Thus, I am open to feedback and input on what additionally is needed by readers.
World: This is the overall system in which actors live and operate. A World can have a number of Stages in which the lifecycles of a subset of live actors are managed. When the World is started, actors can be produced. When the World terminates, all Stages and Actors are terminated/stopped.
Stage: Every World has at least one Stage, known as the default. The Stage is where actors are managed and within which they play or execute. There may be multiple Stages, each with several or many actors (even millions) under its management. Each Stage has an internal Directory within which live actors are kept.
Actors: Each actor is an object, but one that reacts to incoming asynchronous messages, and sends outgoing messages asynchronously. Each actor is assigned a Mailbox, and a Mailbox delivers messages though a Dispatcher. When the actor receive a message, it performs some business behavior internally, and the completes. All actors are type safe in that their behaviors are defined by Java method signatures rather than arbitrary object types. Every actor may implement any (practical) number of behavioral interfaces, known as actor protocols.
Supervision: Actors are supervised in order to deal with failure. When an actor experiences an exception while handling a message, the exception is caught and relayed to the actor's supervisor as a message. When received by the supervisor, the exceptional message is interpreted to determine the appropriate step to correct the actor's problem. The corrective action can be one of the following: resume, restart, stop, or escalate. In the case of supervision escalation, the exceptional message is relayed to this supervisor's supervisor, for it to take some action. There are four kinds of supervision: direct parent, default public root, override of public root, and registered common supervisors for specific actor protocols (behavioral interfaces).
Scheduler: Each Stage has a scheduler that can be used to schedule future tasks by time intervals. An actor determines the timeframe that is needed, and each occasion on which the interval is reached, the actor receives an interval signal message indicating such. The receiving actor can then execute some necessary behavior in response. The actor that creates the scheduled task need not be the target actor of the interval signal message.
Logging: Logging capabilities are provided to every actor, and different loggers may be assigned to different actors.
Plugins: The vlingo/platform in general, and vlingo/actors specifically, support a plugin architecture. New kinds of plugins can be created at any time to extend the features of vlingo/actors, and any other platform component. In particular, mailboxes and dispatchers, supervision, and logging can be extended via plugins.
Testkit: There is a very simple testkit that accompanies vlingo/actors, making it quite easy to test individual and collaborating actors for adherence to protocol and correctness.
The following is a vlingo/actors architecture diagram.
I next discuss vlingo/cluster, and then move on to the entire platform.
The vlingo/cluster is a key component that sits on top of vlingo/actors, to support the development of scalable and fault-tolerant tools and applications. In other words, additional tools that we are developing to continue to build out the vlingo/platform, will almost always be built on top of vlingo/cluster. Additionally, we intend for you to implement and deploy your services/applications in clusters.
Generally a cluster will be composed of an odd number of multiple nodes (not just one, but for example, 3, 5, 21, or 127). The reason for choosing an odd number of nodes is to make it possible to determine whether there is a quorum of nodes (totalNodes / 2 + 1) that can form a healthy cluster. Choosing an even number of nodes works, but in that case, when loosing one node, it doesn't improve the quorum determination, nor does it strengthen the cluster when all nodes are available. When a quorum of nodes are available and communicating with one another, a leader can be elected.
The vlingo/cluster works in full-duplex mode, with two kinds of cluster node communication channels. There are the operational channels, which the cluster nodes use to maintain the health of the cluster. There are also application channels, which the services/applications use to pass messages between nodes. Using two different channel types allows for tuning each type in different ways. For example, application channels may be assigned to a faster network than the operational channels. It also opens the possibility for either channel type to use TCP or UDP independently of the other channel type.
Besides scalable fault-tolerance, the vlingo/cluster also provides cluster-wide, synchronizing attributes. This enables the cluster to share live and mutating operational state among all nodes.
The following diagram shows a three-node vlingo/cluster.
In the above cluster, if one node is lost the cluster will still maintain a quorum. However, if two nodes are lost and only one node remains in a running state, the quorum is lost and the cluster is considered unhealthy. In that case the one remaining node goes into idle state and awaits one or more of the other nodes to return to operational state, which will again constitute a quorum and enable a healthy running cluster.
So far I have discussed the foundation of vlingo/actors and the scalability and fault-tolerance achieved using vlingo/cluster. But, what comes next?
For a few different reasons we have decided not to disclose the roadmap for the full platform at this time. However, I can tell you that there are currently seven additional platform components planned or in development. Ultimately the platform will be even greater than nine components, but those will follow the ones that we consider essential. What we are willing to share is found in the following diagram.
The vlingo/directory supports service registration and discovery. The vlingo/auth service provides security within the vlingo/platform. The vlingo/auth may also be used by any service/application that you create, but it is not a requirement that your organization adopt it as your security standard. Does the above diagram imply strong coupling between vlingo/platform components, or with services/applications with the platform? Of course not!
I hope that this architecture overview has help you understand the significance of the vlingo/platform, and where we are headed.

Q: How to prove that $\lim_{n\rightarrow \infty}\frac {n^{2}}{2^{n}}=0$ & $\lim_{n\rightarrow \infty}\frac {n^{2}}{n!}=0$? Prove that:
$$\lim_{n\rightarrow \infty}\dfrac {n^{2}}{2^{n}}=0$$
I think I need to show $2^n \geq n^3$ $\forall n \geq10$. Is it true?
What about:
$$\lim_{n\rightarrow \infty}\dfrac {n^{2}}{n!}=0$$
What to do with $n!$?

A: Fact: If $a_n > 0 $ and $\lim_{n\to\infty}\Big|\frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}\Big| = c < 1$ then $\lim_{n\to\infty}a_n = 0$.
Let $a_n = \frac{n^2}{2^n}$
$$\lim_{n\to\infty}\Big|\frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}\Big|=\lim_{n\to\infty} \Big|\frac{(n+1)^2}{2^{n+1}}\frac{2^n}{n^2}\Big| = \lim \frac{1+\frac{2}{n}+\frac{1}{n^2}}{2} = \frac{1}{2} < 1$$
If $\lim_{n\to\infty}\Big|\frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}\Big| = c < 1$ then $\lim_{n\to\infty}a_n = 0$.
The second follows using the exact same idea.

A: L'Hopital is too strong for this. Completely elementary, you can prove $2^n>n^3$ by induction:
$2^n \times 2>n^3+3n^2+3n+1$ follows from $2^n>3n^2+3n+1$ which follows from $2^n>7n^2$ (for example). Using induction again, you can reduce this to $2^n>10n$ and then to $2^n>10$.

A: Hint: Use L'Hopital's rule. Recall that the derivative of $2^n$ is $\ln 2 (2^n)$:
$$y=2^n$$
$$\ln y=n\ln2$$
$$\frac{y'}{y}=\ln2.$$

I am a small remodeling contractor and about 5 months ago I hired David as a consultant to help with my company planning. Being a small business owner, I have always seemed to be wearing too many 'hats' of the company and never could carve out time to work on my company and plan for the future. I first met David at a seminar he presented during the JLC trade show. I was impressed with his 'Organization for Success' lecture because his systems were exactly what I had needed for my company. Of course I left the trade show and never implemented any of his recommendations due to my lack of time and my inability to give myself deadlines.
When David approached me to work with him, his politeness, knowledge of the trades and presentation of his program immediately won me over. After our initial conversation I knew that working with David would be beneficial to me and my company. David's positive attitude and empathetic approach has made me feel 'jazzed' about moving forward with a plan after each of our sessions.
David has given me realistic deadlines to work with and has always offered to be of help in between our sessions if needed. In the short time that we have worked together I have already implemented some of his systems into my company and am currently working toward growing my business. Specifically we created an organization chart for the company (we never had one), we put together specific company policies and job descriptions that can be used for employee growth and development and David also helped to create Whitney's Home Care Program which is still developing but promises to add a great service and bring in extra business for the company. I really look forward to continuing our work together and would highly recommend David to anyone in the industry.

Emma Coburn wins Olympic Trials, extending record reign amid absence of distance stars
By OlympicTalkJun 25, 2021, 5:41 AM EDT
Steeplechaser Emma Coburn extended the longest reign in U.S. track and field at an Olympic Trials otherwise marked by the fading of the old guard, especially in women's distance running.
Coburn, who earned a medal of every color among the 2016 Olympics, 2017 Worlds and 2019 Worlds, won the 3000m steeple in 9:09.41 at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon, on Thursday night. She qualified for a third Olympics by winning a seventh consecutive U.S. title, the best active streak in the sport, and is joined by Courtney Frerichs and Val Constien.
"It's 10 years of having a target on your back," said Coburn, who won her first national title in 2011, "but it's a challenge that I like to rise up to."
Coburn's mom, Annie, was diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer in December 2019 that spread to her liver and lungs. Annie is doing well now, has completed 22 rounds of chemotherapy, with more to come, and is in Eugene this week.
"To share this with her and have her be well, it's more special than winning today and going to Tokyo," Coburn told Lewis Johnson on NBC, adding later, "She has surpassed all of her doctor's expectations. She's a little miracle. She's a little Energizer Bunny. You wouldn't know she's sick. You wouldn't know that, internally, her body is going through major crisis."
Frerichs took second to Coburn on Thursday, just as she did at the 2017 Worlds in a historic U.S. one-two. Constien chopped 7.19 seconds off her personal best for third after Leah Falland tripped and fell after clearing a barrier with just under two laps left. In Tokyo, they take on powerful Kenya, led by world record holder Beatrice Chepkoech.
In Rio, Coburn won the U.S.' first Olympic steeple medal since 1984 (a bronze).
The U.S.' top finishers from Rio in other women's distance events failed to qualify for Tokyo — Jenny Simpson was 10th in the 1500m on Monday, Shelby Houlihan missed Trials due to a doping ban that she disputes and Molly Huddle didn't enter Trials after hip and hamstring pain. None of the marathoners from 2016 made it back, either. The 800m final is still to come.
Olympic Trials continue Friday with men's finals in the steeple and discus, plus semifinals in the women's 200m and 800m and men's 400m hurdles and 1500m.
TRACK AND FIELD TRIALS: Results | TV Schedule
In Thursday's other final, Jessica Ramsey won the women's shot put with a personal-best 20.12-meter throw. She now ranks second in the world in this Olympic cycle, trailing two-time world champion Gong Lijao of China.
"I was counted out," said Ramsey, who was 19th at the 2016 Olympic Trials and 12th at the 2019 USATF Outdoor Championships. "I always tell myself I'm No. 1 in everything that I do, and I am a 20-meter thrower."
Ramsey, who added nearly three feet to her career best, is joined on the Olympic team by 2016 Olympian Raven Saunders and Adelaide Aquilla.
Rio gold medalist Michelle Carter watched the competition from the stands after a June 3 surgery to remove a benign right ankle tumor.
In qualifying action, the most accomplished athlete to fail to advance was 2013 World silver medalist Brenda Martinez in the 800m. Raevyn Rogers and Ajeé Wilson, the 2019 World silver and bronze medalists, and 19-year-old phenom Athing Mu won heats to reach Friday's semis.
Sean Burrell, who two weeks ago broke the 37-year-old world U20 record in the 400m hurdles, crashed over the eighth hurdle. Burrell was seeded second after winning the NCAA title in that record time at Hayward Field. World silver medalist Rai Benjamin won his heat to make Friday's semis. Olympic gold medalist Kerron Clement, in scantly racing the last two years, did not meet the qualifying time to enter Trials.
Allyson Felix, who already made the team in the 400m, qualified 10th fastest into Friday's 200m semis. Felix said her legs were "a little rusty." Gabby Thomas, who made the 4x100m relay pool, ran the world's top time since the start of 2020 — a personal-best 21.98.
The 18-year-old Hobbs Kessler won his 1500m heat to reach Friday's semis, joining Rio Olympic champion Matthew Centrowitz.
Kessler, who broke Alan Webb's high school 1500m record last month and turned professional this week, could become the second-youngest U.S. Olympic 1500m runner ever after Jim Ryun in 1964.
Rio silver medalist Paul Chelimo won his heat to make Sunday's 5000m final. Also advancing: Woody Kincaid and Grant Fisher, who went one-two in the 10,000m last Friday.
Tianna Bartoletta and Brittney Reese, the last two Olympic long jump champions, made Saturday's final.
The 2012 Olympic champion Jenn Suhr and 2016 Olympic silver medalist Sandi Morris were among the 12 qualifiers into Saturday's pole vault final.
The world's top three women's hammer throwers — DeAnna Price, Brooke Andersen and Gwendolyn Berry — were among 12 qualifiers into Saturday's final.

NOAA Hurricane Hunter plane grounded ahead of Dorian
by: Chip Osowski
Posted: Aug 29, 2019 / 08:49 PM EDT / Updated: Aug 30, 2019 / 08:26 AM EDT
LAKELAND, Fla. (WFLA) – A team of pilots, scientists and meteorologists planned to fly to study Hurricane Dorian early Friday morning. They are part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Hurricane Hunter team.
That flight never took off. A mechanical issue kept the aircraft grounded.
The flight was scheduled to leave from Lakeland Linder International Airport in Polk County at 1:30 in the morning after a safety briefing.
Eight on Your Side's Chip Osowski and photojournalist Jamie Cook were going to be accompanying the team and were disappointed with the news. Although, both were appreciative of the NOAA's thorough inspection of the aircraft.
The crews use the equipment on board to analyze the hurricane and also use GPS devices called "dropsondes" to gather data.
"What they do is as they drop they take a profile like a weather balloon but in reverse of what's happening in the upper atmosphere," said Jonathan Shannon, a Public Affairs Officer with the agency. "So you get temperature, pressure, humidity and as this gets blown around it's got a GPS device in it so you get wind speed and direction. Those are key elements in determining the storm's strength and hopefully narrow down its track."
Crews will now work to fix the problem and hope to be back in business as soon as possible. In the meantime, NOAA has a number of other airplanes in the air, feeding back data.
This is my third Hurricane Hunter trip. In 2005 I flew with the crew into Hurricane Wilma and then in 2017 over Hurricane Irma.
The crews use the equipment on board to analyze the hurricane and also use GPS devices called 'dropsondes' to gather data.
The devices record information such as air temperature and pressure, wind speed and direction and humidity. Those are key elements in determining the storm's strength and hopefully narrow down its track.

How to subtract — a lesson in business design
By Dan Ward
Check out the first part of this "Simplicity Cycle" series, "How to add."
The concept behind Garfield minus Garfield is pretty straightforward: erase the tubby orange cat from the comic strip that bears his name, but leave behind the props and other characters. The result is brilliant, fascinating, and poignant. On his site dedicated to "G-G," Dan Walsh explains the edited comics are "a journey deep into the mind of an isolated young everyman as he fights a losing battle against loneliness and depression in a quiet American suburb." If you have a taste for schadenfreude (and who doesn't?), these comics can be super funny.
How does it work? Removing Garfield fundamentally changes the nature and message of each strip. It creates new space for the reader to explore, and introduces a wider variety of tones than the original comic ever displayed. For example, one G-G comic starts with a panel in which Garfield's owner Jon says "These are troubled times." For the remaining two panels, Jon sits and holds his coffee cup, without further comment, as if inviting the reader to join him in his thoughtful anxiety.
In a particularly dark comic, Jon says "Good night, I'll attempt to, but fail to wake in the morning." The final panel is completely empty, perhaps creating the impression that Jon not only died in his sleep, but predicted his own demise.
At other times the result strikes a joyful and hopeful note, as in the comic where the first panel shows a grinning Jon saying "Imagine what your life would be like if you had wings." The following two panels are empty, granting the reader space to imagine flying like a bird.
G-G is a fascinating example of how "creation by subtracting" can work. As designers, coders, or engineers, we generally begin a design effort using additive tools, introducing new pieces, parts, and components to our creation. In fact, when we face a blank sheet of paper or an empty screen, adding is the only possible move. But as the design progresses and accumulates more parts, new design alternatives become available. Instead of being limited to additive methods (which I described in the previous 3-minute design lesson), we can eventually adopt reductive thinking models and subtractive techniques as a way to improve our design.
The diagram below uses the Simplicity Cycle framework to highlight a subtractive path. The thick line pointing down and to the right represents a design that is simultaneously becoming simpler and better. The slope and straightness of our specific path may vary, but if subtraction drives improvement, we're basically heading in this direction:
Subtracting is a less obvious and less common approach to resolving a design problem than adding, so the techniques may feel unfamiliar at first. However, with a little experimentation and practice, we just might discover that taking things away is an even more powerful design approach than putting more things in. And it turns out we have several subtractive moves available to us, different approaches which allow us to improve a design by simplifying it.
Here are eight subtractive strategies to consider:
Delete. Remove an existing piece from the design. This deletion may be a piece that is redundant, extraneous or obviously unnecessary. In other situations, we may remove a piece that appears to be useful or even essential (i.e. take Garfield out of Garfield), and we just might discover that the design performs better without it.
Trim. Remove a portion of an existing element. This strategy is subtractive in the sense that while the component itself stays in the design, it no longer contains all its original attributes or functions (i.e. Shut up, Garfield, a site that leaves the cat but removes Garfield's speech bubbles).
Integrate. Combine multiple elements into a single element. Rather than two or more distinct parts, they are synthesized into a unified component.
Shrink. Transform an existing element into a smaller version.
Remove copy. Reduce redundancy. This strategy is useful if a design element is highly dependable and has an un-used backup, if the system's performance is generally unaffected by the failure of a particular component which thus does not need a built-in backup, or if a replacement can be quickly introduced when a component fails.
Trust. Remove a piece that provides a check function and trust that the remaining components will perform as designed (see No. 5).
Polish. Reduces friction between components.
Delay. Introduce an element later in the process than planned. This is a form of time-shifted subtraction, where the element is always intended to be part of the design but is now included later than originally planned.
Subtracting can be a profoundly creative act, and when we remove the metaphorical Garfields from our own designs, we may find we have created something entirely new and entirely better. So give it a try — grab an eraser and see what you can create.

4 steps to minimize uncertainty in the business journey


So the diagnosis is now official. An expert has confirmed your suspicions. Your child has autism. You're shocked even though you kind of already knew, or else why would you be getting a specialist's opinion? Still, you were hoping your gut instincts were wrong. They weren't. So what's next?
In our case, 11 years ago, the doctor was kind and sympathetic, but his "verdict" came at the end of our appointment time, so my husband and I had just a few minutes to process things, ask a few questions, and accept a folder with some information that would supposedly get us started on our new journey. But the "verdict" felt like a "sentencing" of some kind. And the folder didn't contain nearly enough information to help us at all. It felt like a kind gesture, and that was it.
What we did come away with was a sense of urgency, that we had a small window to really help our three-year-old son with therapies and whatever else we could find. At the time, we had just moved to Boise, Idaho, having left the Salt Lake City area, where our son was born and where much of our extended family lived. We knew very few people in our new neighborhood, but we were blessed to have my husband's cousin in the area, who happened to be a well-respected OBGYN. He called in a favor and got us in to an overbooked pediatrician who happened to be his neighbor and long-time associate in the field of childcare.
Our new pediatrician was amazing! She knew about autism–a lot. She was also compassionate and very thorough. We loved her immediately! Her office happened to employ an early-intervention service coordinator. We loved her right away too! But even with both of their help, we still felt overwhelmed and had a lot of research and decisions to make. Thankfully, our son was an only child, and I devoted any time he needed to therapy and "homework," practicing the skills he learned in therapy.
Looking back, I can see we were truly blessed to find the right people to help us. We continued to find good therapists who helped our son with occupational therapy (OT), physical therapy (PT), and speech therapy (ST). We added adaptive sports, equine therapy, and an early-intervention preschool, which he attended a few hours a day for two years before kindergarten. He entered elementary school. He qualified for an Individual Educational Plan (IEP) and for Educational Resources in mainstream classrooms. Every single therapist, teacher, and trainer did their very best to help our child. And we did everything they told us to do at home.
Study positive examples of people with autism. Yes, positive experiences do exist. Before beginning our journey with autism, we had never heard of Temple Grandin. We were delighted to find out about her and hope to meet her in person one day. She's uplifting and positive, yet a bit quirky. So she's real. 🙂 Most importantly, she is living proof that an individual with autism can accomplish amazing feats. Dr. Grandin isn't the only fine example. There are many others. Focus on them, not the scary examples.
Avoid books that promote unresearched, personal beliefs or are just plain whacko. Back when our son was first diagnosed, Jenny McCarthy made her autism debut, doing more harm than good, if you ask me. If you choose to read her books, be forewarned that Ms. McCarthy is rude, biased, and stubborn regarding many of the latest scientific findings on ASD. Her example is problematic, in my opinion, because she influenced many Autism Moms to think that they have to speak and act like her to get necessary results for their kid at school and in the medical profession. The result? No one wants to work with the Jenny McCarthys of the world. Don't ruin your chance to be your child's best advocate by following her example. Also, I don't recommend reading Running with Scissors. It's full of horrible language and disturbing thoughts. It also had no application whatsoever to our situation. Several people recommended that book to me when our son was first diagnosed. It was a terrible suggestion. Thankfully, there's a much better selection of autism-inspired books now available. (Future post of good book selections to come.
Seek a pediatrician who is experienced and enthusiastic about treating your child with autism.
Make sure your pediatrician is well versed with autism. Ask them how much experience they have with autism. Do they enjoy working with patients on the spectrum? How many autism patients do they typically see? Have they received specialized education or training for treating autism? Listen to your gut feelings when they respond. Also, see if their office has a social worker or service coordinator who can help you. This is generally a complementary service. If your current pediatrician doesn't have someone on staff to work with you, contact other pediatricians in your insurance network regarding their services specific to autism. Change pediatricians if yours isn't highly educated on autism or enthusiastic about helping you.
Research local community and school district for options. In our case, Utah offers an Early Intervention program, which we began utilizing when our son was a year old. That's when we noticed gross-motor delays and sensory issues. Then when we moved to Idaho, we sought the official diagnosis and received referrals for autism-specific programs. Some information came from the doctor. But I also researched a ton online. This is the time to put your best Google-search tactics to use. Simply type in autism plus the name of your town or school district. Options will come up. Some possibilities include behavioral therapy, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and more. You'll need referrals from your pediatrician to see these specialists. Usually, there are waiting lists. Don't be discouraged. Get your child's name on ANY lists you might need. People cancel their spots, and you'll get in. If you end up not needing a therapy when it becomes available, you can always cancel. So FOR SURE get on the lists, and don't delay.
Know that there are solutions. Do NOT assume that you cannot afford help for your child. If there's a therapy that's right for your child, you should check into it. Insurances help to cover expenses, Medicaid might be a resource, and some places have reduced fees for those paying with cash. Honestly, if you are in a total financial pinch and truly cannot afford help for your child, you should qualify for some kind of assistance. At the very least, set up a GoFundMe account and seek help from family and friends.
Join local support groups. While waiting for therapy appointments, visit with the other moms in the waiting room. Or find support groups by searching online or asking your pediatrician or the therapists you see. From my experience, moms are the best resources for learning about community resources and competent medical professionals. That said, if someone has an unfavorable opinion of a service, you might want to probe a little and ask why or what happened. You may learn that their concerns are very different from yours and that the service really would be right for your kid. Or you'll agree with the mom's assessment and save yourself a big headache.
Ask for ideas in Facebook groups. I say this with extreme caution. I participate in several autism FB groups. Be careful and specific about what you ask, realizing that the members may offer unintentional misinformation that simply isn't right for your situation. I recommend starting with local autism Facebook groups first. Otherwise, someone's advice from Kentucky or the UK, for instance, may send you down the wrong track for your state's options. Instead, begin by searching your state + autism, and see what comes up. Then you might post something like, "We are looking for a pediatrician near Salt Lake City who is very knowledgeable about autism. Can anyone here recommend someone and tell why you like them?" With any luck, a good physician's name will be recommended more than once. Then you can feel good about calling him or her. Or "Our son needs physical therapy. Can you recommend someone in the Salt Lake area who works with autistic kids?" Avoid questions like, "My son is 6 and struggles to kick a ball. Do you think he needs physical therapy?" You're going to receive every opinion under the sun, and all the myriad responses will likely leave you feeling confused. Also, I highly recommend that you don't use Facebook groups to vent. Seek trusted friends for that. Otherwise, you're opening yourself up to a bunch of strangers. I've discovered that women in these groups LOVE to vent. They don't necessarily want to fix problems. They just want to vent. And if you suggest solutions, they're going to snarl at you for "judging" them because you see a probable answer. Yes, I speak from personal experience on this one. 🙂 Also, venting ladies aren't exactly positive people. I find most of the autism FB groups to be quite negative.
Don't worry what family and friends think about the autism diagnosis, unless they happen to agree with you. I know. Easier said than done, right? With time, all of our family members have come to see that our son is on the spectrum. Had we waited for everyone to be on board with the diagnosis, we would have lost years of precious early intervention. Lovingly explain that you're getting help for your child, and if the "label" of autism makes them feel uncomfortable, then you acknowledge that. They have a right to feel that way. In turn, you ask that they acknowledge that you feel otherwise. You're with your child all the time. Your child is your focus. You're doing your best to get the help and resources you need for your child. And . . . medical professionals agree with you. So unless they'd like to get on board the autism boat and help you row, they should be kind and support you and your child in what you need to do. At the very least, you ask that they please don't insist that their assessment of your situation is right. You simply don't have the energy or emotions to deal with that too.
There's so much to consider when THE DIAGNOSIS is first given. These are just suggestions to get you started. Everyone's experience with autism is unique. Every person with autism has their own set of experiences. Hopefully, you'll see here that there are ideas to try. There are possible solutions. There's more than just a diagnosis. There's hope.

This is book 2 in the series. I can honestly tell you that I didn't have to go over book 1 to remind myself of what I had read months ago as her books are so memorable.
Its an apt name, its a house that people always have to, need to, or must return to for one reason or another.
Ophelia is the old lady now. She is the one that helped Annie in many different ways.
I have also learnt things from these books, or should I say, from Ophelia herself.
We all have objects that we hold affection for. Her explanation of how we look at these objects of affection was very thought provoking to me. I didn't think of things this way.
Am I going to explain that to you? Nope. When you come to read this book, remember my words, and you will pick up my understanding for sure.
She is a very wise woman Ophelia. They say wisdom comes in years, and this is true, but for me, Ophelia always had wisdom and a good way at looking and helping others, especially Annie.
The book starts off with Annie's wedding. But life doesn't always go to plan does it, we see this as we turn the pages.
Bette Lee Crosby has a gifted way with words and brings out thoughtful things. Each character that is from book 1 has developed even more, they have grown, but they still remain true to themselves.
Tragedy is a part of most people's lives in one sense or another, and this family is not without theirs.
This author brings warmth to her pages, this authors brings hope, this author brings sense to life.

Bezos Invites You To New Life In Off-World Colonies
Jeff Bezos' Blue Origins spacecraft will one day speed millions of Earth-dwellers in to space.
...guiding Blue Origin LLC "is the most important work I'm doing. It's crucial," Bezos told an audience in May at the National Space Society's International Space Development Conference. He founded the rocket company 18 years ago in an old warehouse south of Seattle, originally stocking it with tinkerers and science fiction authors who could help reimagine space travel. Now the company, known in the space business as Blue, employs more than 1,500 software engineers and rocket scientists, most of them at its headquarters in Kent, Wash., and the West Texas launch site. It plans to launch New Shepard with test pilots on board as soon as this year, and in 2019 it will sell tickets to brave tourists who want to sit atop a tank of combustible liquid hydrogen and oxygen to experience four minutes of sublime weightlessness in suborbital space.
Blue Origin's eventual goal is "millions of people living and working in space," Bezos has said. He plans to get there "step by step, ferociously," according to Blue Origin's motto ("gradatim ferociter"), which adorns its coat of arms. New Shepard is the first step. The rocket is tall, thick, and cone-tipped—its shape strenuously suggests off-color metaphors that shall not be deployed here. The crew capsule has a half-dozen large windows, so its astronaut-tourists will have a fantastic view of the gentle curvature of Earth.
Fans of Ridley Scott's film Bladerunner recall another, quite similar, invitation.
(A new life!)
Emperor Bezos should consider using advertising airships in our dirty, debt-ridden cities.
