Restaurant owner in Belgium misses customers so much she serves drinks to mannequins

A restaurant owner in Belgium misses her customers so much she's started to "serve" drinks to mannequins instead.
Therese Mahieu, the owner of Chez Therese in Rixensart, has made her own dummies with balloon heads and drawn faces on them.
Dressed in full outfits, hats and scarves, the figures sit at tables in the restaurant and are served red wine, according to Reuters.
Ms Mahieu says it gives her a sense of community amid the pandemic restrictions which have forced her restaurant to remain shut since October.
The stunt was in part a protest against the Covid-19 measures. Belgium's rules dictate that restaurants cannot open for eat-in diners until at least 1 March.
They can continue to open for takeaways and deliveries, but must close by 10pm.
Belgium has recorded more than 716,000 coronavirus cases in total and 21,000 deaths since the start of the pandemic.
Although it has managed to avoid another wave of infections this winter, as of 24 January 2021, Belgium had the highest rate of coronavirus deaths per capita in the European Economic Area.
It's not the first time a restaurant has used fake patrons during the pandemic.
In May 2020, The Independent reported that eateries in the US were using blow-up dolls and mannequins to make restaurants look full when they had to limit capacity to 50 per cent.
The Inn at Little Washington in Virginia decided to seat well-dressed mannequins at tables they were unable to use in order to comply with state regulations, while The Open Hearth in South Carolina opted for "G-rated" blow-up dolls from Amazon to make the place seem busy.
"I've always had a thing for mannequins — they never complain about anything, and you can have lots of fun dressing them up," said The Inn at Little Washington's chef, Patrick O'Connell, at the time.

Leeson Rose Croix No 21

The start of Leeson Chapter is in January 1866 when Supreme Council in London received a letter from a Colonel Alexander John Greenlaw requesting authority to form a Chapter. The Warrant was issued on the 10th July 1866 to Colonel Greenlaw and others to hold a chapter named Leeson Chapter Rose Croix in Rangoon, British Burma.
Henry Beaumont Leeson. who in April 1846 became the third member of Supreme Council 33° as Grand Chancellor, Lieutenant Grand Commander in 1850 and Sovereign Grand Commander in 1851.
He was, born in 1803, a lecturer in forensic medicine at St. Thomas' Hospital, London for many years, who died at his home, The Maples, Bonchurch, Isle of Wight in 1872 having retired from the Order in 1868.
From the Masonic Diary of Burma printed in 1900 we see that the first meeting of Leeseon Chapter Rose Croix is record as the 28th January 1868, nearly two years after the Warrant was issued, when Col. Greenlaw was Most Wise Sovereign (MWS), assisted by Col. A.W.O. Saunders and H. Prince, perfected 9 Brethren: Burma was at that time under the Masonic domain of Bengal for Craft Masonry. However, in 1868 Burma became a separate Masonic District with Brother Greenlaw its first Grand Master; the year he is MWS of Leeson Chapter.
On the 3rd November 1869 Colonel Greenlaw together with three of the newly perfected brethren from the January 1868 meeting of Leeson Chapter were in Madras consecrating the Cormondel Chapter No.27, with Greenlaw its first MWS.
The Chapter started to grow steadily in numbers, being able to draw on members from the English, Irish and Scottish Lodges which met in Rangoon, although the 120 copies of Leeson By-Laws requested in 1887 must have been in anticipation of better times to come.
Life in Burma
The Rose Croix Chapters in "British Burma" were by 1894 made up of Leeson No.21 meeting in Rangoon, Mount Calvery in the East No.47 meeting in Singapore and Salween No.131 meeting in Moulmein, who all came under the direct control of Supreme Council.
The Chapter celebrated its Jubilee in 1918 giving credence to the 'first meeting on record being 1868'. This was also the Jubilee year of the District Grand Lodge of Burma and in a letter dated 24th June 1918 the MWS of Leeson Chapter wrote
By 1941 Rangoon was a city with a population of half a million but of course War had already broken out. It was December 1941 that the invasion of Burma began. The city of Rangoon was evacuated by March 1942 and although two craft lodges, Rangoon No.1268 and Ormond-Iles No.4270 (now amalgamated as The Rangoon & Ormond-Iles Lodge No.1268) with whom we share much of our history, managed to hold a few meetings in exile in Calcutta, all other Masonic activity ceased until members started to return to Burma in February 1946.
The membership of Leeson was then shown as 30 but the actual members in Rangoon were few, so it was not until 1947 that meetings were able to resume. No Warrant was to hand and it was only after a petition from Cecil Reading, the MWS of 1941, and seven other brethren, a Warrant of Confirmation dated the 14th March 1946 was issued, endorsed that it was issued due to the original Warrant (of we assume 1894) having been lost due to enemy action
Life in Burma as elsewhere could never be the same again, Burma was granted Independence on the 4th January 1948, Freemasonry was at first able to exist within the new structure, indeed Leeson had 38 subscribing members in 1948, and the Chapter made progress for many years, meeting four times a year, with members being drawn from the resident as well as the expatriate communities.
By 1955 membership had reached 47 and following its meeting of February 1961 held what we believe could be its first ladies night function.
The Chapter celebrated its Centenary on Thursday 18th August 1966 followed by a twelve course Chinese banquet in Freemasons' Hall, 65 Goodliffe Road, Rangoon.
The political situation in Burma proved difficult for all associations and societies after General Ne Win came to power in 1962 and installed a military revolutionary council. Freemasonry was fortunate to have as the District Grand Master Bro. Lao Htin Si, also a member of Leeson, he was well known and respected by Ne Win, and meetings were able to continue with some normality, due to his standing with the authorities. However, the DGM. died on the 14th May 1970 and it was clear that Freemasonry would soon go the way of such groups as the Scouts, the Lions and other clubs and associations in being prohibited.
Leeson Chapter had only admitted two new members during the period of November 1966 and May 1970, both of whom were Europeans. One craft lodge, The Rangoon & Ormond-Iles Lodge No.1268 had in 1968 seen what was likely to occur and had transferred back to London. Some of their members were also members of Leeson and it was not long before preparations were being made to return Leeson to the United Kingdom.
At the meeting of November 1970 it was proposed "That this Leeson Chapter No.21 be transferred to the UK owing to the present paucity of its members in Burma and owing to the fact that the greater portion of its members are resident in the UK".
The first meeting in England under the acting MWS., Bro Richard Rushall, was at Southgate Masonic Centre on the 29th November 1972, by dispensation of Supreme Council, the Warrants and Books of the Chapter having been handed back to us on the 3rd November. The meeting consisted of 5 members, 6 visitors and 1 past member, who re-joined at that meeting. The visitors consisted of 5 members of Southgate Chapter and the District Recorder of Middlesex, Ill Bro. Peter Poynter, who acted as Prelate for the meeting and went on to render very great service to assist our establishment in England.
We know from a letter dated November 1972 from a Burmese member of Leeson, resident in Rangoon, that the funds of Leeson were still in Burma unable to be transferred. The letter described them as "quite a substantial sum" and that the property of the Chapter had been put into store at Freemasons Hall, Goodliffe Road.
The next meeting took place 12 months later on the 23rd November 1973, this time under the authority of a dispensation from the Inspector General of Middlesex. Discussions had taken place during the interim period on a permanent home for the Chapter and we now took our place under the District of Middlesex, based at Southgate Masonic Centre. Our official visitors were Most Ill Bro. Elgood, Grand Treasurer General, Most Ill Bro. Lt. Col. The Rev. Brocklebank, Grand Prior, Very Ill Bro's Dr. Colenso-Jones, Grand Director of Ceremonies, Very Ill Bro. Burnett-Brown, Inspector General of Middlesex. and Ill Bro Col. Stuart Horner.
Having approved the Chapter's new By Laws, the members enthusiastically elected to Honorary membership those who had assisted matters over the last three years. This included the official visitors present, six members from Burma and also the reigning DGM of Burma. It was not until 1974 that it was realised that the DGM was not a Rose Croix Mason and his name unfortunately had to be withdrawn from the list of Honorary members on our summonses.
Meetings were arranged for the Friday prior to the Saturday meeting in London of Rangoon & Ormond-Iles Lodge No 1268. There were three meetings a year, in November, February and September. This enabled those who were members of both, many of whom were spread around the country, to make a single journey to town for their Freemasonry.
In October 1984 the Burmese Government served notice that Freemasonry had to be dissolved and the District Grand Lodge of Burma ceased functioning on the 13th November 1984.
One of the traditions which visitors to the Chapter will notice today is the final toast at the festive board which is to 'Burma – the land of our origins' This was introduced in 1986 being adapted from the required first toast at all Masonic festive boards in Burma since the 1950's that to ' Burma (or the Union of Burma) – the land we live in'.

We here at Curtis Insurance would like to take a moment to say how much we appreciate each and every one of you.
As we kick off the holiday season, here are a few safety tips for you, your family and your home….
A couple of months ago we shared safety tips at festivals and parades. Independence Day is fast approaching so let's look at some additional tips to keep the fun in your summertime.
It's Mardi Gras time here in SW Louisiana and for the past couple of weekends, parades and festivals have been going on throughout the area. We will be closed tomorrow (2/28) due to the area parades but wanted to share a few tips on staying safe during these events.


Maybe it is the crisp cool breeze, the little cold nip, the smell of spice and bonfires that motivates people to get into the giving spirit. Halloween is the first of the giving holidays followed by Thanksgiving and Christmas. This time of year is when people give the most to charities. According to research and a survey conducted by the Center on Philanthropy, charities receive 41% of their donations in the last weeks of the year.
How can your brick fundraiser benefit from the festivities?
1.Trick or Treat & Brick Fundraising: While going house-to-house in your quest for sweets, collect funds for your engraved brick fundraiser or have your kids hand out brick flyer order forms.
2. Haunted House Engraved Brick Drive: Haunted houses and haunted hayrides always bring in a good number of participants. You can set up a booth outside of the exit with information about your brick fundraising campaign. After being scared in the haunted house your guest will appreciate seeing a happy smiling face.
3. Costume Contests Prize: Hold a costume contest or Pet Parade. One the prizes can be the winner gets a free customized engraved brick.
4. Charity Ball: Charity balls or charity dinners can be an elegant event. This is a wonderful way to raise funds and promote your brick fundraiser. Each table setting can have a place card with the link for your engraved donor brick website. If seats are assigned one side of the placeholder can have the person's name and the other side can have your free brick donor website link. At the end of the ball, a personalized brick can also be auctioned off.
5. Clothing Drive: Use your brick campaign as a way to give back to your community. Ask your donors to donate an article of clothing along with their donation for an engraved brick. Your organization may also give an article of clothing for every brick sold. Your brick engraving campaign can help someone keep warm this season.


I have been a caregiver for over 5 years now. My father had his first stroke 5 years ago. He continued to have them until his passing in March of this year.
My husband was laid off from his job 8 years ago and 4-1/2 years ago he was diagnosed with Stage 4 Colon Rectal Cancer and will continue to be in treatment for the rest of his life.
During this time period he has had 10 surgeries and 3 heart attacks. Since my father's passing I am also the caretaker for my 95 year old mother, who refuses to leave her house.
I am the sole provider for my husband and I for financial support, health insurance and am responsible for every part of our lives.
I am worn out, depressed and exhausted.
Any ideas on relieving some of these stress would be most appreciated.

Sonata Arctica – Talviyö Review
On September 6, 2019 By Angry Metal Guy
"Sonata Arctica's Talviyö marks the 20-year anniversary of the release of Ecliptica. For many fans, the band's first four albums are the real highlight of their career. But one thing that Tony Kakko and his lovable band of Finns could never do was to sit still. Instead, in 2007, they released Unia, which saw them deviating from the formula they had perfected as an upstart Europower band. Since then, they haven't stood still." Stillness of winter.
Sonata Arctica – The Ninth Hour Review
On September 30, 2016 By Angry Metal Guy
"The Ninth Hour marks Sonata Arctica's fourth full length since Unia. In 2016, that means that half the band's career is post-Unia and since that monumental album Sonata Arctica has gone through a tense relationship with its history and—if the comments on this blog are anything to go by—their fanbase. This has led to these veterans of Europower reintroducing wolf shirt and their old logo. But for me it's The Days of Grays—an album distinctly lacking in both—that remains the band's best since 2007." So after all this time has Sonata Arctica produced a worthy successor to The Days of Grays?

It took her years to figure it out.
Her life was consumed by anxiety and relationship issues.
As many of us know, our personal experiences often dictate the actions we take in life.
For Lesli Johnson, it was no different.
She was adopted at a time when parents were advised to tell as few people as possible about their adoptions.
But, this way of doing things raised more questions than answers.
One question raised after she saw several therapists in college, was why none of them were able to help her. It may have had something to do with the fact that none of them ever asked her if she had been adopted, therefore never had a chance to deduce that separation trauma played a primary role in Lesli's anxiety.
It's a question that appears simple on the outside, but remains truly complex and in dire need of attention when more closely examined.
It's a question that helped determine her mission in life: To help other adoptees and foster youth process their trauma.
Leslie has had an incredible impact on adopted teens, as well as adoptive parents through her therapeutic work as well as her work in support groups such as AdoptCONNECT and Teen AdoptCONNECT. Both groups give participants the opportunity to relate to one another and realize that they are far from alone in any adoption-related struggle.

State Updates
This week, several lawsuits have been filed by pro-choice lawyers and organizations with the aim of blocking trigger bans and keeping the small number of remaining abortion care clinics open for as long as possible in North Dakota, Louisiana, Florida, Texas, Arizona, Mississippi, and Oklahoma.
Nancy Northup, Center for Reproductive Rights president, said: "We are seeing the start of a public health crisis that will engulf the nation. Our immediate priority is to preserve access in every state for as long as we can. Every day and hour that a clinic can stay open is a victory for the patients in the waiting room."
North Dakota – On July 7, Red River Women's Clinic and its medical director Dr. Kathryn Eggleston filed a suit aiming to block enforcement of the state's trigger ban on the grounds that it is unconstitutional as it takes away the rights of every North Dakotan to life, liberty, safety and happiness as stated in their constitution.
Louisiana – On July 6, a lawsuit was filed arguing that the state's three "trigger" laws were unconstitutionally vague: it was not clear whether any of the three trigger bans had come into effect and if so, which ones. Additionally, it was unclear what conduct would be prohibited, or if there were exceptions for abortions to save the life of the pregnant person. A hearing is scheduled on July 8 – in the meantime, the bans have been blocked and abortion care has resumed.
Florida – A lawsuit filed in Florida argues that the state's 15-week abortion ban is unconstitutional under the state's constitution, because it contains an explicit privacy clause that protects individuals' right to privacy, including abortion. As of July 5, the ban is being allowed to stay in effect in the meantime while this lawsuit proceeds.
Texas – On June 28, a Texas court granted a temporary restraining order, which blocked the re-enforcement of the state's pre-Roe abortion ban (which had previously been interpreted as unenforceable and unconstitutional). However, on July 1, the Texas Supreme Court granted civil, but not criminal, enforcement of the ban. There is a hearing scheduled for July 12 on whether the ban will be permanently blocked.
Arizona – On June 25, there was an emergency request to block Arizona's "personhood laws" as they apply to abortion. These "personhood laws" would grant fetuses, embryos, and fertilized eggs the same "rights and privileges" as "other persons" for purposes of all Arizona law. There is a hearing on this motion scheduled for July 8.
Mississippi – On June 27, a case was filed that challenged both the states trigger bans and 6-week abortion bans, on the basis that the stat constitution protects abortion. However, on July 5, a court denied the request for these abortion bans to be blocked.
Oklahoma – On July 1, a lawsuit that seeks to block both the states pre-Roe abortion ban from 1910, as well as a total abortion ban slated to come into effect in August was filed. The lawsuit argues that these bans are unconstitutional as the state's constitution promises personal and bodily autonomy, health, and substantive due process.

Digital Safety Guide from the Digital Defense Fund
Last week on the blog, we highlighted that private information collected and retained by tech companies, including data on location, internet searches and communication history, could be weaponized to prosecute abortion seekers and providers.
The Digital Defense fund has created a helpful guide for protecting your privacy when seeking an abortion, including tips on safely visiting websites, sending messages, and going to clinics.

Battleground included in the New York Times' podcast, The Argument
This week, New York Times opinion columnists Michelle Golberg and Ross Douthat convened to share their thoughts on the overturning of Roe v. Wade as a watershed moment in America's political history.
Goldberg says "The reason I, and many people I know, feel such intense despair is not just because a right that they cared about deeply is no longer protected, but because it seems like the democratic process is short circuited at every turn."
Douthat, however, feels that "Whatever happens with state laws or national laws, it makes a big difference to a lot of people's relationship to this country to have the abortion debate return to the democratic process".
Goldberg also refers to her own viewing experience of Battleground and the tactics of the anti-abortion movement during the episode: "I was just watching this documentary called "Battleground," which is a pro-choice filmmaker following around — most of the documentary is her following around these women leaders of the anti-abortion movement. And there's this one scene that I keep thinking about where they're doing this online training for "Students for Life" of how to argue with pro-choice people online. And they're kind of trying to lure young pro-choicers into, like, comment-section debates."
The List interviews Battleground director Cynthia Lowen on Roe v. Wade and the views of the anti-abortion movement
Earlier this week, Cynthia Lowen, director of Battleground, spoke with The List on the initial footing of Battleground, how she became interested in the centers of power driving abortion legislation, and the level of organization and influence that the anti-abortion movement truly has in the U.S., particularly with young people.

Home Tech The James Webb Telescope is about to be launched into space
The James Webb Telescope is about to be launched into space
After decades of planning, cost explosions, and many delays, the largest and most powerful telescope in space history to date is set to blast off into space on Saturday (1:20 p.m. German time). The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) – a nearly $10 billion collaboration between space agencies in the US, Canada and Europe – will be launched aboard an Ariane launcher from Kourou spaceport in French Guiana.
SN / APA / NASA / CHRIS GUNN
Rocket with Webb Telescope on launch pad
It should take JWST about four weeks to reach the target orbit 1.5 million kilometers away. The first data and images from the telescope are not expected until summer at the earliest.
JWST will be the successor to the "Hubble" telescope, which has been in use for more than 30 years. Among other things, it is supposed to provide images from the early universe with the help of a mirror of 25 square meters. Scientists hope this will provide new insights into how our universe came to be. James Webb is ten years old.

Unique Concordance of 19th century Belarusian language to be presented in Central Scientific Library of NAS of Belarus
On March 10 at 3:00 p.m. there will be a presentation of an electronic edition of the Concordance of the Belarusian Language of the 19th Century in the Yakub Kolas Central Scientific Library of the NAS of Belarus (Мinsk, Surganov str., 15).
The Concordance is a unique lexicographic guide which has been released by the publishing house "Belarusian Science." The author of the project is a researcher at the Slavic and Theoretical Linguistics Section of the Yakub Kolas Institute of Linguistics N.M. Senkevich.
The Concordance of the 19th century Belarusian language is the first fundamental project of this type in national linguistics. This is a set of dictionaries compiled on basis of a text corpus, which is, in its turn, based on all works of fiction of the 19th century. All the texts are given as close as possible to the original form. The structure of the Concordance includes the Concordance itself in which every use of a word in a text is accompanied by a text illustration and information about its frequency and location, 6 frequency dictionaries, word pointer and reverse dictionary. Lists of texts in the Concordance represent a systematized bibliography of literature in the Belarusian language of the period.
In addition to the general Concordance, the guide includes four language concordances of individual authors, namely V. Martsinkevich, A. Yelsky, K. Kaganets and K. Kalinovsky.
The Concordance of the Belarusian Language of the 19th Century will be useful for both specialists in philology who can explore various aspects of the Belarusian language in the stage of formation of its literary form, and for a wide range of readers interested in literary heritage of the Belarusian people. Study of lexical units frequency allows to draw conclusions about the features of a writer's style, to trace thematic similarity in works by various authors, to draw conclusions on ways of development of the Belarusian language in the 19th century.

Il termine sugoroku (雙六 o 双六) (letteralmente "doppio sei") si riferisce a due diverse forme del gioco dell'oca giapponese, ovvero il ban-sugoroku (盤双六, "asse-sugoroku"), simile al backgammon, e le-sugoroku (絵双六, "pittura-sugoroku"), simile al gioco occidentale scale e serpenti.

Ban-sugoroku
Il ban-sugoroku si gioca in modo simile ai giochi da tavolo occidentali. Ha la stessa posizione di partenza del backgammon, ma lo scopo e le regole di gioco sono differenti. Rispetto al backgammon moderno:

 I doppi non sono speciali. Se un giocatore ottiene il doppio, ogni dado conta comunque solo una volta.
 L'obiettivo è spostare tutti i propri uomini entro gli ultimi sei spazi del tabellone.
 Non esiste un cubo del raddoppio.
 "essere chiusi", cioè formare un numero primo di sei punti contigui con uno o più uomini avversari sulla traversa, è una vittoria automatica.

Si pensa che il gioco sia stato introdotto dalla Cina (dove era conosciuto con il nome di tsun-ki) in Giappone nel VI secolo.

Qui, nei secoli successivi, il gioco fu reso illegale diverse volte, soprattutto nel 689 e nel 754, in quanto considerato gioco d'azzardo.  Questa versione del sugoroku, assieme ad altri giochi d'azzardo, apparve frequentemente fino all'inizio del periodo Edo, quando nacque un nuovo gioco d'azzardo chiamato chō-han (丁半) che rimpiazzò il ban-sugoroku.

Questa variante risulta ormai estinta in Giappone e nella maggior parte degli altri paesi, in favore del backgammon moderno in stile occidentale (con cubo del raddoppio).

E-sugoroku
Una forma di e-sugoroku più semplice, con regole simili a scale e serpenti, apparve già alla fine del XIII secolo e divenne popolare grazie all'economica tecnologia di stampa a blocchi di legno elaborata nel periodo Edo. Migliaia di variazioni di tavole sono state realizzate con immagini e temi riguardanti religione, politica, attori e persino erotismo. Nel periodo Meiji e in quelli successivi, questa variante godette di popolarità tanto da essere spesso inclusa nelle riviste per bambini. Poiché il termine ban-sugoroku è ormai obsoleto, oggi la parola sugoroku coincide quasi sempre con il significato di e-sugoroku.

Altre varianti del sugoroku

Sono stati distribuiti molti videogiochi basati sull' e-sugoroku, come Kiteretsu daihyakka, Sugoroku Ginga Senki, Battle Hunter, Ganbare Goemon: Mononoke Sugoroku, Dokodemo Hamster 4: Doki Doki Sugoroku Daibouken!, Hello Kitty: Minna de Sugoroku, Gotouchi Hello Kitty Sugoroku Monogatari, Yu-Gi-Oh! Sugoroku's Board Game, Family Pirate Party, Hidamari sketch: Doko Demo Sugoroku x 365 e PictureBook Games: Pop-Up Pursuit.

Il videogioco Samurai Warriors 2 presenta un minigioco chiamato Sugoroku, ma somiglia molto poco alla versione tradizionale, avvicinandosi piuttosto a Itadaki Street, Wily & Right no RockBoard: That's Paradise o a una versione semplificata del Monopoly: i giocatori infatti si alternano nel muoversi su un tabellone, i cui spazi sono designati con i nomi di diversi territori del Giappone. Atterrando su uno spazio non occupato, il giocatore è in grado di acquistare quello spazio per una determinata quantità di denaro. Se un giocatore atterra su uno spazio acquistato da un altro, deve pagare una quota a quel giocatore, oppure può scegliere di sfidare il giocatore per il controllo di quello spazio (utilizzando il motore di gioco principale di Samurai Warriors 2 per giochi di sfida speciali). Sul tabellone sono presenti anche spazi "Santuario", che sono più o meno analoghi agli spazi Chance di Monopoly e Cassa della Comunità.

La serie Mario Party riflette molte caratteristiche dell'e-sugoroku.

Il gioco survival horror Kuon presenta un minigioco da sbloccare di nome ban-sugoroku.

The Oetker Group takes over the fast growing beverage delivery service flaschenpost SE
Dr. August Oetker KG intends to acquire the online beverage delivery service flaschenpost SE, based in Münster.
Corresponding contracts were signed on 30 October 2020. The transaction is subject to approval by the antitrust authorities; the purchase price was not disclosed, but is rumoured to be around a billion euros.
The Oetker Group is expanding the range of its online beverage delivery service Durstexpress GmbH, which belongs to the Radeberger Group. The expanded company is managed by a management board consisting of members of the management board of flaschenpost SE as well as the management of Durstexpress GmbH. The management board reports to a newly established supervisory board, which will be formed in the coming weeks. The online beverage delivery service will in future be managed and developed from two central administrations in Berlin and Münster.
Pusch Wahlig Workplace Law – who have been the labour and employment law adviser for flaschenpost for many years and accompanied the company during various prominent projects, including its conversion into a Societas Europaea (SE) – had advised flaschenpost on the labour and employment related issues of this deal, with leading partner Dr Tobias Pusch.

Enthusiasm is the fuel that fires the energy in the classroom.
One of the most valuable lessons I ever learned happened in an unexpected way. I was boarding an early morning flight from DC to Dallas. The weather was clear, and I was looking forward to a few hours of quiet time and maybe even some shut eye. As I lumbered down the aisle with my carry-on and briefcase, I could see that the seat next to mine was occupied. My quiet time was in jeopardy.
SANDY: Hi, I'm Sandy. How are you? What do you do?
ME: Doing well. I'm Jack, and I'm a trainer.
SANDY: I am in abrasives.
SANDY: I sell the raw materials that go into sand blasters to remove paint and rust.
So, if I understand correctly, you sell sand? That must be a boring job.
His passion was unexpected. At this point, I was ready to get out my credit card and buy some sand! Sandy was passionate about his product, and he believed that the service he provided was critical for the country's infrastructure. He was so persuasive about his product that I became wrapped up in emotion. Sandy spoke in terms that I could understand and that were meaningful to me and my life (I still think about Sandy's message when I drive nervously over a bridge). He talked about his job with a fervor that I had seldom seen before.
As the flight progressed, I mulled over the conversation and Sandy's spontaneous and inspiring response to my insensitive comment about his "boring" job. The intensity with which he described his job was truly impressive. Eventually the underlying lesson dawned on me: If this guy could be passionate about selling sand, of all things, I had absolutely no excuse not to be passionate about my job.
Have you ever dragged yourself into a classroom, dreading going through the motions of teaching the latest set of software modifications or policy changes? If you have, you are certainly not alone. Developing training on detailed sets of procedures or teaching the same technical content week after week can lead to feeling numb and insignificant. Most of us will throw up our hands and apologize to the class for the boring nature of the content. The good news is that it doesn't have to be this way.
Our challenge, then, is how trainers can generate the passion of the "sand salesman." The insights I gained from Sandy made me reconsider the way my training projects could positively impact people's lives and how mastering new skills could lead to greater success on the part of my participants. Armed with new skills, learners can provide for their families and improve their career prospects. It was clear that the sand salesman was passionate about his job and his product, and we can be, too.
How do we develop a passion for our training? Passion comes from knowing your purpose and feeling genuine enthusiasm for your job. A sense of purpose provides a reason to complete a task or project.
The concept of purpose is scalable. There can be an overall purpose for a course, and there can (and should) be a purpose for each lesson and topic. The purpose answers crucial questions: So what? Why is this idea important? How will this module lead the learner to be more effective? In what ways will the course contribute to the success of the participants? The answers to these questions define the course's purpose. Knowing the purpose of the training shows you, the training professional, the reasons your contributions are so important to the learners.
Purpose alone, however, is not enough. In order to have the passion of the sand salesman, you must have enthusiasm as well. Enthusiasm is the fuel that fires the energy in the classroom. In Norman Vincent Peale's bestselling book "Enthusiasm Makes the Difference," he notes that as adults, we must work to develop the enthusiasm that comes so naturally to children.
We must continually remind ourselves of the honor that we hold as trainers who have the ability to improve people's lives. Think about the many times you've received appreciative comments from your learners about how your work changed them.
A clear understanding of purpose paired with enthusiasm will propel your training to the next level. Let your passion for your topic come through in your voice and movements. Enthusiasm is infectious, and before you know it, your classroom will be alive with energy. This passion will result in many benefits, including greater engagement and a more enjoyable experience for both participants and instructor. Remember the lesson from the sand salesman, and let your passion show in the classroom.
Jack Landry has more than 20 years of experience in the training profession, during which he has trained more than 1,000 aspiring trainers in T3 programs.

Amateur Photographers at Clonbrock, Co Galway.
National Library of Ireland
This picture from 1899 was taken on the Clonbrock estate in Ahascragh, County Galway. The Dillon family who owned the estate were very enthusiastic amateur photographer and the image shows Augusta, Lady Clonbrock, in the centre. The others are her daughter, the Hon. Ethel Dillon;her sister in law, the Hon. Katherine Dillon; her son the Hon. Robert Edward Dillon; and her daughter the Hon Edith Dillon.
Clonbrock was well managed: Lord Dillon and his father before him had a hands on approach to running the estate. They were fair landlords and unusual in that they resided permanently on the estate.
Just a few years after this picture was taken the Wyndham Act of 1903 offered very advantageous terms to landlords to sell land - and for tenants to purchase their farms. However Lord Clonbrock was reluctant to sell as he was attached to his land and could see no real advantage in shifting from a rental income to one derived from investment. This made him very unpopular and from 1903 to 1907 the estate was subjected to extreme agitation.
Facing huge losses in rental income, by 1915 Lord Clonbrock was left with little option but to sell off most of his estate. It was the rental income that sustained most estates; as they were reduced or broken up the decline of the big house gained momentum. Photographs are a medium that have the power to evoke the past in a poignant way – and this is particularly the case when it comes to photographs of life in a big house in Ireland. Few pictures survive of Fota; however the Clonbrock collection from the National Library of Ireland provides a rich pictorial record of life on a landed estate. Ironically the photographs have survived while Clonbrock no longer exists – it was accidently burnt down in the 1980s.

Spoilers for the entirety of Shadow of the Colossus below.
In description, Shadow of the Colossus is a game about about defeating 16 colossal bosses, contrasted with light exploration. This description alone might allow it to fall in the awfully loose genre of "action/adventure" if I wanted to be a little more specific, perhaps a "boss gauntlet". These genres, in gaming, almost always delve into the realm of power fantasy, an approach to genre that emphasises wish fulfillment, the power of the protagonist to overcome all obstacles in their path and topped off with a joyous ending in which the protagonist is rewarded for their actions. Shadow of the Colossus is none of those things. It is something far more interesting, something not often approached in gaming, and far less often done well. Shadow of the Colossus is a tragedy.
Right from the start, our stakes are set. The protagonist, Wander, wishes to save the girl, Mono, from death. Her relationship to the protagonist remains unknown, all that is known about her is that she was sacrificed "for she had a cursed fate." Like all of Fumito Ueda's games, the world building is incidental. It's what we don't know, what can only be implied by the little information we have, that makes the setting so interesting. To achieve Wader's wish he travels to a land "to trespass upon… …is strictly forbidden" then laying Mono's body on an altar he makes contact with a being known as Dormin. At this point Dormin appears as a collection of shadows and then a collection of voices. The shadows, more analogous to demons, the voice, appearing from a beam of light, appears to be analogous to a god. "I was told that in this place at the ends of the world- there exists a being who can control the souls of the dead." Wander claims, and Dormin confirms. A being like this could not give something for nothing, but the quest is made clear, defeat the 16 colossi contained in this land and Dormin will restore Mono's soul.
From that point, in the first cutscene, before the player ever takes control, Wander has made his fatal error. Only then is the player given control.
Shadow of the Colossus, in its setting, is an open world. You're free to explore anywhere within The Forbidden Land. In every other sense Shadow of the Colossus is wholly linear. You cannot leave, you cannot turn around and give up. You must defeat all the colossi in a set order, you must fulfill Wander's cursed fate. This puts Shadow of the Colossus in a position not too dissimilar from many other games of ludically open, narratively linear. I often find myself critical of games with overly linear stories, when the characters could have made different choices, but they player could not, because any opportunity to take a different path is met with a cutscene to take control away. Let's use The Last of Us as an example of a popular game with a cutscene driven story. By the end of the game Joel wakes in the Firefly's hospital, looking back on how they got this far he says "Maybe it was meant to be." but was it? At any point Joel or Ellie could have taken different decisions that would not have lead them to the Fireflies, but this decision was not the player's, the decision is entirely out of the player's realm of control.
In Shadow of the Colossus, the player similarly lacks a control over the fate of the protagonist. The crucial difference is that Wander no longer has control of his own fate, either. When he enters the Forbidden Lands the only exit seals behind him. The only choice that may even exist is to finish his quest or perish, the only choice for the player is to complete the game or give up. A lack of choice here is narratively consistent in Shadow of the Colossus, while it may be narratively dissonant in other games. Wander is the tragic hero, his fate is sealed.
Enforced in every moment of the game is Wander's normality. In battle with the collossi he can often appear to struggle. It's testament to the expressiveness of the animation of Shadow of the Colossus in reinforcing just how small Wander is. When climbing a colossus, he will tremble as it shakes and moves. Wander will flail, desperately gripping on, as the colossus tries to shake him off. He runs with a certain limpness, when he jumps his arms flail about wildly, he swings his weapon loosely as if he has had no training with it. Wander is not suitable to be a hero, but he tries to be one regardless. Director, Fumito Ueda's study was in animation and his expertise shows in all his games.
The soundtrack perfectly reflects the arc of every colossus battle from Wander's perspective. From afar it is curious, with an anxious undertone. You don't know what this beast can do to you, but it is far bigger than you. As Wander scales his foe and he gets closer to victory, the music becomes more epic, more triumphant, that is, until the final blow is landed. The music stops immediately, the creature, that before was only seen from below or never fully in frame to emphasise it's size, is now seen from a more neutral angle. The music melancholic as the colossus falls to it's death. Instead of triumph in success, any triumph that existed in getting closer to your goal is wiped, for a sense of loss and a moment of reflection to see the slain beast before the black tendrils come to possess Wander. Each of the colossi vary in size and personality. Each have their own quirks, some are more aggressive, others hardly aggressive at all. Regardless, they all fall. When Wander awakens in The Shrine of Worship after slaying a colossus, a new shadow appears around him, just as a new dove appears besides Mono's body. Wander's quest is not easy but the symbolism is clear: it is not virtuous, either.
By the end of the game, after overcoming an immense amount of challenge, Wander is weakened and exhausted. His clothes more ragged and his appearance cursed and corrupted. After the defeat of the final colossus Lord Emon, who is implied to be an important figure in Wander's society and possibly involved in Mono's death enters the Shrine of Worship with a group of armed men, but it is too late, Wander has fulfilled his duty and done as Dormin requested. When Wander, demon-like and limping appears, he is stabbed, a black corruption sprays from his body like it once did from the colossi he pierced, before he is fully consumed by Dormin, now revived and in physical form.
Was this Mono's "cursed fate"? To bring the revival of Dormin? If so her sacrifice was the inciting incident in his process. As is the nature of prophesy, attempts to avoid it only bring it closer.
The game, in a role reversal, now allows you to play as the colossal Dormin as you attempt to crush the humans below you, but it is no use. They escape and in a last-ditch attempt to seal Dormin back away, a sword is dropped into the basin from the beginning of the game and a vortex appears. Dormin begins to dissipate and is sucked away leaving only Wander. In what is probably one of the greatest pieces of storytelling through gameplay I have ever experienced, you are given control as Wander is sucked in. Being pulled further from Mono's altar and closer to your end. You can jump and run, you can struggle as much as you possibly can, but it is no use, you will always be pulled into the basin. You have control of the minutia, you do not have control of fate. A idea the reflects the whole of Shadow of the Colossus.

Epicurious vs. In the Kitchen vs. How to Cook Everything: Recipe apps for iPhone shootout!
Allyson Kazmucha
With the holidays approaching fast, cooking and recipe apps for iPhone are a great way to find something new and interesting to make for your friends, family, and colleagues. Whether you simply want to spice up your existing arsenal, or are looking for something completely new, Epicurious, In the Kitchen by Food Network, and How to Cook Everything can all help you take your culinary game to the next level. But which one is best for you? Let's find out.
Epicurious vs. In the Kitchen vs. How to Cook Everything: Layout and navigation
Upon first launching Epicurious you'll be presented with recipe categories as well as a search bar for you to scour through their database. The receipt category section will change periodically based on the time of year. With Thanksgiving fast approaching, a lot of the sections will be to help you prepare food for the holidays.
The main navigation of Epicurious runs along the bottom of the screen and consists of 5 sections: home, search, favorites, shopping list, and about. Home simply lays out the recipe categories and allows you to search for recipes on your own based on meal type or main ingredient. The search tab brings you to the same search you can access from the main page which to me seems quite redundant. The favorites section will populate any recipes you've favorites within Epicurious. The last section is your shopping list. This section works by putting in any ingredients for any recipe you've chosen to add to your shopping list.
In the Kitchen by Food Network functions in a similar fashion to Epicurious but lays out the main home section differently. Instead of having a list of recipe categories you'll see tiles. You can filter by chef, time of the year (featured), and collections. The featured section, like Epicurious, will change based on the time of year. Right now In the Kitchen features lots of food for Thanksgiving such as stuffing and dressing, turkey recipes, and more. Tapping any of the tiles will bring you into that section where you can scroll through the list of recipes contained in that section. At a glance you can see a thumbnail image, user ratings, the cook, and the difficulty level.
Along the bottom of In the Kitchen you will find your main navigation. The first tab is your featured (home) section followed by shopping list, quick list, and recipe box. The last tab, the more tab, allows you to change measurement types and configure a timer. Shopping list functions the same as it does in Epicurious. Just find a recipe you'd like to make and you can add all the ingredients to your shopping list. The quick list section allows you to quickly compare recipes. The recipe box functions in almost the exact same way which is a little confusing to me. There are no comparative features under quick list that really differentiates it from the recipe box section.
How to Cook Everything is laid out slightly differently than both Epicurious and In the Kitchen. The home page gives you quick links to things like browsing recipes, kitchen basics, times, popular recipes, and featured items. Along the bottom is your main navigation which consists of the home page, search, favorites, shop, and more. Search allows you find ideas and recipes based on certain criteria such as key ingredient, cooking technique, and more.
Favorites will list anything you've marked as a favorite within How to Cook Everything. One nice feature of favorites is the recent recipes tab. If you really liked a recipe but forgot what it was and didn't favorite it, you can most likely find it under this section. The last feature is the shopping list feature which just like Epicurious and In the Kitchen, you can add the ingredients to any recipe and How to Cook Everything will auto-populate the shopping list for you.
Epicurious and In the Kitchen both have useable layouts and interfaces but feel quite cramped. In the Kitchen also features a ton of ads which are easy to accidentally click on. How to Cook Everything's layout is easy to use and understand. It's also the only app that has already been updated for the iPhone 5.
Epicurious vs. In the Kitchen vs. How to Cook Everything: Recipe availability and browsing
When it comes to recipe selection, all three apps have an excellent selection. Whether you're in the mood for Asian, Italian, or any other kind of cuisine, you shouldn't have an issue finding something to suit your needs. How they break them down though is where they differ.
Epicurious allows you to search by main ingredients, what meal you are cooking for, dietary needs, dish types, and seasons and occasions. You can also choose a specific type of cuisine which is broken down by countries in most cases. Under dish type you can choose things such as bread, cake, pastas, frozen desserts, and more. If you're looking for something very specific, you can find it. If you're looking for ideas, you can find those too by not using as many search criteria.
In the Kitchen by Food Network doesn't have as robust of a search feature as either Epicurious or How to Cook Everything does. Tapping on search will bring you to nothing other than a general search field. Once you've input a search term, then you are offered the ability to filter by chef, type of food/course, difficulty level, and length of time.
How to Cook Everything allows you to search in a similar way to Epicurious. You can perform a general search or refine it by inputting criteria such as key ingredient, cooking technique, style, and recipe type. For recipe type you can choose from fast, make ahead, vegetarian, and essential. For style you can choose anything from a type of cuisine such as Italian or something as broad as salty or sweet. Cooking technique allows you to choose the type of technique you'd like to use such as grilled, deep fry, roast, sauté, and more.
While Epicurious, In the Kitchen, and How to Cook Everything all have a wealth of recipes, being able to find what you're looking for is crucial. Epicurious and How to Cook Everything provide the best way to find the recipes that interest you through their excellent search functions. In the Kitchen's search just doesn't feel as robust as the other two options.
Epicurious vs. In the Kitchen vs. How to Cook Everything: Step-by-step instructions
Once you find a recipe you decide to make you'll probably want easy to understand directions in order to make it. Epicurious, In the Kitchen, and How to Cook Everything all offer step by step instructions with all their recipes.
Once you tap on a recipe that interests you in Epicurious you'll be given a recipe card that shows three tabs across the top: recipe, photo, and reviews. The first tab is where you'll find your ingredients and instructions. The ingredients section will show you how much of each ingredient you need along with any directions on how things should be cut. Underneath that you'll find preparation instructions. In my experience, some recipes are spelled out a lot better than others. Some will only consist of a few steps that are all run together while others will be broken down a lot more thoroughly. Considering recipes are pulled from all kinds of sources, the step by step instructions aren't always consistent.
In the Kitchen will also pull up a recipe card like Epicurious does. You'll see an image of the finished product as well as preparation time, the difficulty level, ingredients, preparation instructions, and more.
When it comes to instructions, In the Kitchen will lay out ingredients in the same way Epicurious does. For actual directions, while it's the same general format and technique, In the Kitchen tends to break down steps a lot better than Epicurious does. A lot of this probably can be contributed to the fact that the Food Network is posting their own recipes by the in-house chefs. This creates a more consistent experience. In the Kitchen also allows you to increase the font size in case the default is too small to read.
How to Cook Everything lays out ingredients and instructions quite differently than both Epicurious and In the Kitchen. Once you're inside a recipe you can simply tap on overview, ingredients, or steps. Under ingredients the format is easier to follow and shows the amounts in a clearer way in the left hand margin. Steps are also broken down into groupings. You'll see how many steps there are in the navigation. The step you are on will be represented by a red circle. You can easily tab through the steps or go back in case you missed anything. If there are steps that require a timer, they will be hyperlinked and tapping on them gives you instant access to the in-app timer which will populate the time the recipe calls for automatically.
How to Cook Everything provides the most consistent experience when it comes to following step by step instructions. While Epicurious and In the Kitchen both provide step by step instructions, they aren't nearly as detailed or as easy to follow.
Epicurious vs. In the Kitchen vs. How to Cook Everything: Cross-platform support
Epicurious and In the Kitchen are universal apps for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. If you download them on one, you've got access on the others. Since the app is a single download, there is no separate version to purchase.
While How to Cook everything has support for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - the set up is a little different. You can get the iPhone app as a standalone app for a little cheaper or you can purchase the universal app for a little more and have access on both.
Regardless which app you choose to use, you have the support across all iOS devices, if you need or want it.
Epicurious vs. In the Kitchen vs. How to Cook Everything: Pricing
Epicurious is a free download for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. If you'd like to sync your recipes across all your devices, you can purchase syncing as an in-app purchase for an additional $1.99. It's not a bad deal for the amount of recipes you get.
In the Kitchen by Food Network is available for $1.99 and is a universal download for all your iOS devices. There aren't any in-app purchases available but it would be nice to see one to remove the ads. It's very easy to tap on one by mistake as they are presented in between recipes while scrolling.
How to Cook Everything is available for iPhone and iPod touch for $4.99 but you can grab the universal version for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch for $9.99. It's quite a bit steeper than both In the Kitchen and Epicurious but what you get out of the app still makes it a good buy.
When it comes to price, Epicurious is the cheapest option if you don't need syncing since it's free and offers a better search function than In the Kitchen.
Epicurious vs. In the Kitchen vs. How to Cook Everything: The bottom line
Kitchen by Food Network doesn't have as robust a search feature, which makes it hard to find recipes, and hard to recommend the app.
Epicurious is for those who want to easily find recipes based on seasons. It's free and you can purchase syncing any time you like.
How to Cook Everything is the best kitchen companion on your iPhone. Even though the price tag can be higher, everything from step-by-step directions to searching and exploring new recipes, makes the purchase well worth it. It's simply the easiest cooking app to navigate and find what you're looking for fast.

Continuing Disagreement about Policy or Politics?
To the extent that candidates for Congress from different parties are still debating the merits of the health reform law, do you think this is more because Republicans and Democrats fundamentally disagree about the right policy for the country, or more because both sides are trying to use the issue for their own political advantage?

ALL THINGS GEEK HOLIDAY 2017 GIFT GUIDE – BOOKS
"Books make great gifts because they have whole worlds inside of them. And it's much cheaper to buy somebody a book than it is to buy them the whole world!" -Neil Gaiman
November 28, 2017 by Alex Yarde Leave a Comment
The holidays are here! Cyber Monday has come and gone! Time to figure out what will go under the tree (and don't forget gifts for the teachers).
Books make the best gifts — a thoughtfully selected book will hold a child's interest long after the new toys have been tossed aside.
The biggest impact comes not from what we read, it's THAT we read, whatever the genre or style. The joy of reading in itself is a pleasurable ritual that all thoughtful adults share.
That we lead by example and encourage children in particular, to develop a love of reading is the single most important factor for thier futures. Let's be real. In today's fact-free climate "Bookworm" isn't a pejorative, it's a badge of honor.
The real difference, though, lies in our attitude to reading. Gilbert K. Chesterton once said: "There is a great deal of difference between an eager man who wants to read a book and the tired man who wants a book to read." So with that in mind kind reader, I present for your perusal a curated list of the best books I've had the pleasure to read or review. I think you'll find something for any bibliophile or bookworm on your list!
Though, for ease of shopping, deep discounts and free delivery, I've added Amazon Prime links, if you rather shop small at your local book seller? By all means do so! Most of my choices are from small publishers that we should all appreciate are still here!

The Design Geek:
Two Dimensional Man – Paul Sahre
In Two-Dimensional Man, Paul Sahre shares deeply revealing stories that serve as the unlikely inspiration behind his extraordinary thirty-year design career. Sahre explores his mostly vain attempts to escape his "suburban Addams Family" upbringing and the death of his elephant-trainer brother. He also wrestles with the cosmic implications involved in operating a scanner, explains the disappearance of ice machines, analyzes a disastrous meeting with Steely Dan, and laments the typos, sunsets, and poor color choices that have shaped his work and point of view. Two-Dimensional Man portrays the designer's life as one of constant questioning, inventing, failing, dreaming, and ultimately making.
The Sex Geek:
Yelling In Pasties – The Wet Coast Confessions of an Anxious Slut- Kat Stark
Can you really be a shy, exhibitionistic, socially anxious slut all at the same time?
Twenty years into her marriage, Kat and her husband faced head-on the great underlying fear of most monogamous people: My partner wants to have sex with other people. For them, that truth led to a rollercoaster of new sexual and romantic adventures. After starting things off with a fun and friendly threesome, this couple explore ethical non-monogamy through swinging, casual sex, group sex, solo dating, and eventually stumble into polyamory. Kat Stark tells the story of her first three years in non-monogamy, and how her life and relationship(s) evolved; from the dirty, dirty sex to the heartbreak and back again, without glossing over the parts where she effed it right up. Along the way she discovers squirting orgasms, plays with all the awesome sex toys she can get her hands (and other body parts) on, and comes to a far deeper understanding about how her brain—and heart—work. Come on this very sexy journey; where asking is the key to getting what you want, and where rejecting the shame and associated with being a sexually audacious woman is the gateway to becoming the truest version of oneself.
This is a remarkably frank and open memoir about plunging into polyamory and non-monogamy which is 100% sex-positive and inclusively feminist. A must read IMHO for anyone wishing to broaden their own understanding of sex & sexuality.
Kat Stark is a sex-positive, geeky, Canadian, queer, bisexual, deviant, slutty, feminist pervert who came to ethical non-monogamy 21 years into her relationship with her husband, Flick. After a quick toe-dip to test the waters (and hours of obsessive reading and podcast consumption), they dove in and she almost can't imagine they ever lived any other way. Labels never give a totally clear picture, but she considers herself non-monogamous and polyamorous, though she also occasionally swings. As well as writing blog posts and toy reviews regularly for OnTheWetCoast.com, she co-hosts the podcast On The Wet Coast with Flick, and has lent her voice as an audiobook narrator for Cooper S Beckett's novels A Life Less Monogamous and Approaching The Swingularity. Her writing is regularly featured on Life On The Swingset.com. She lives in Vancouver, BC, with Flick and their two cats.

The "Space Monkey"
Bait – Chuck Palahniuk
New York Times bestselling novelist and cultural trickster Chuck Palahniuk will publish Bait: Off-Color Stories for You to Color, his first ever NC-17 coloring book for adults, with Dark Horse Books. Is both the coloring book debut and the second short story collection for Palahniuk, author of Lullaby and Fight Club. The book contains eight bizarre tales, illustrated in detailed black and white by Joëlle Jones (Lady Killer), Lee Bermejo (The Suiciders), Duncan Fegredo (Hellboy), and more. Each story is paired with pieces of colorable original art, nearly 50 in all.
Palahniuk's short stories are provocative and not for the faint of heart. (His public readings are notorious for making audience members pass out.) Bait continues in that vein with stories like –
A passenger on the Titanic who finds a surgical solution to the obstacle of "women and children first"
A Hollywood star, whose fading brand faces a viral (and scatological) internet campaign
An animal psychic who coaxes a statement from a fish that witnessed a political assassination
Increasingly terrible birthday gifts that place a girl at the center of an extinction-level event
The best geeky coffee table book anywhere and only adult coloring book you'll ever need!
"Bleek Girl" magic-
Meet ClaraBelle Blue – Adiba Nelson
Adiba Nelsons' feisty protagonist ClaraBelle Blue from her debut children's book "Meet ClaraBelle Blue", is a beautiful black girl who loves everything any little girl her age does. Making new friends, playing on the playground, ribbons and bows and her mama tickling her toes.
ClaraBelle Blue just happens to be in a wheelchair. And as the story progresses—in a charming sing-song cadence school age children and early readers love and richly illustrated by Elvira Moranado—the book goes on to show that though ClaraBelle Blue may have some special needs, the things that are most important to her we all share.
As a parent of black children, I'm always on the hunt for books featuring people of color. Countless psychologists attest an immense benefit to self-image comes from children seeing people like themselves reflected in the stories they read.
This marvelous softcover not only delighted my young daughter with a bold, black female character she could relate to. Her older brother is dyslexic and has ADD. He has some accommodations in school, he understands everyone is unique and may have their own challenges to a greater or lesser degree.
You can read my full review here. Suffice to say this is a special book that all children can benift from embracing!
Adiba Nelson is mom to a beautiful daughter with Cerebral Palsy, and she is a disability rights and inclusion advocate. She is also a freelance writer for various online outlets, such as The Huffington Post, Everyday Feminism, and My Brown Baby.

A is for Ackees: A Jamaican Alphabet Book – Rebekah Henderson
A is for Ackees is an alphabet book in short rhymes with a Jamaican theme. Colorful folksy illustrations by Nancy Mc Bride, framed as artwork bring this A-Z book to life. Factual information is also included for those who wish to learn more about Jamaica's unique culture.

The outfit looks so elegant. I love the color and it is exactly as describe. Love it!
Very classic! I love the flower print! Amie wore this last week, and it is very adorable on her. Plus the fabric is very soft too. Your store has the best clothes for our kids!
I originally ordered the white ones for my baby. I thought 12-18 Months will still fit my daughter because she's only 15 Months old. To my surprise, I guess my baby's kinda bigger for her age. Good thing we have a neighbor whose daughter is just about to turn 1 year old. I gave it as a gift. I haven't seen her wearing it but I am positive that she'll look good in that outfit. I really like it for my baby so I'll just get the black ones, 1 size up instead. This time I'm sure it won't end up as a gift.

Phoebe Wright takes a victory lap, while Bernie Montoya comes close at "Distance Night in Eugene"
Pat Price | On 01, Jun 2013
photo courtesy Track and Field Photo
It was a beautiful first day of racing at the 2013 Prefontaine Classic. 7000 fans piled into the Hayward Field stands for "Distance Night in Eugene" to see some top quality fields before the main course Saturday. Nike's Phoebe Wright was happy they showed. "I wish that I could take everybody in the stands and have them feel what it feels like… to cross the finish line first everyone once in awhile."
"When I finished, the official had the nerve to ask me to do a victory lap. Duh, yes I'll take a victory lap. How many victory laps do you get to do?" A very happy Phoebe Wright timed her kick just right to take the win in the Women's National 800 meters in 2:00.85, finishing just ahead of Canadian Melissa Bishop (2:01.16) and rising teen star, Ajee Wilson (2:01.24).
"There's a wind gauge at every 50 meters on the track. Every time before I race, I'll do a stride backward and look at where the gauge is. No matter where, whether I'm first or last, go 100% So with 50 to go, I committed to going all out."
With the World 'B' Standard in hand, Wright may run in one of the Indiana American Milers Club meets, but the main focus for her now is USA's.
"Coming off a little injury, I'm building confidence. I've butchered some USA championships, but I'm gonna get it right this time."
High schooler, Bernie Montoya, bounced back from a tough race in New York last week to run with the pros. He ran well and closed in 60.39, but the first few laps took their toll on him. He looked strong through 809 meters, coming through unofficially at 2:00, and then 3:01 with a lap to go. Montoya would finish in a season best time of 4:01.71, a national high school leader again this year. Kenya's James Magut would win the race in 3:55.24. Garrett Heath would win the Men's National 1500, which was held beforehand, in 3:38.54.
Afterwards, I asked Montoya: "Is this it or are you gonna take another crack at sub-4:00 at New Balance?"
"I have New Balance but I don't know what events I'll be doing. This was a good opportunity to go after it. I think this will most likely wrap up our mile (for the year)."
Montoya's Cibola High Coach, Kris Norton, wasn't ready to close the door just yet. "We're gonna see how today went and decide tonight" said Norton.
A source close to the situation says Montoya has decided and will indeed make one more run at sub-4 in Greensboro.
Montoya put everything in perspective with one more parting comment. "3 years ago, I was on the gridiron and now I'm at Hayward field. It's amazing. I'm enjoying it."
Not too shabby at all. He'll run at Arizona State in the fall.
Mo Farah's move to the 5,000 certainly slowed the pace of the 10,000, but Kenenisa Bekele showed the signature kick that he has become known for to push past Imane Merga and cross the line first in 27:12.08 to close out the night.
More tomorrow, live from Hayward Field. Be sure and follow @WritingAboutRun on Twitter for trackside news as it happens.

The Final Capers
Von: Original Radio Broadcast
Gesprochen von: Howard Duff, Jack Kruschen, Paul Frees, und andere
When Howard Duff, radio's regular Sam Spade, was dropped from the show, Steven Dunne donned the trench coat. Finding his own brash and boyish style with the role, Dunne's Spade was much like creator Dashiell Hammett himself - a grown-up teenager who loved a put-on, but could be depended on to be loyal and true despite his own troubles. In these digitally remastered capers, Hammett's hard-boiled hero delves in to the domains of daytime serials, journalism, the waterfront, and international intrigue.

The Adventures of Sam Spade: Lawless
Von: Dashiell Hammett, William Spier
Gesprochen von: Howard Duff, Lurene Tuttle, Stephen Dunne
No bigger fad swept across postwar radio than that of the hard-boiled private detective - and nobody had more fun with their wink-and-nudge take on the genre than the producers, writers, and cast of The Adventures of Sam Spade. Dashiell Hammett's legendary private eye had a sardonic sense of humor, which wavy-haired, rugged-voiced Howard Duff played to perfection.
