Hannibal Season 3 Episode 9 "And The Woman Clothed With The Sun" Review
Season 3 of Hannibal continues this week with episode 9 and it's very long title. Perhaps the woman referred to in the title is the one seen in the painting* so beloved by our villain, but we're also about to meet a new character who is going to have a profound effect on the life of Francis Dolarhyde. But first Will has to have his ill advised meeting with Dr Lecter, which goes about as well as anyone could expect. Hannibal is displeased by Will's refusal to use first names, his terrible aftershave and the realisation that Will has married. This especially offends his since he gave Will a child himself (referring to Abigail Hobbs). Will is unimpressed with Hannibal's petulant routine, leading the cannibal to complain that Will "… just came here to […] get the old scent again. Why don't you just smell yourself?" Despite his many protestations Hannibal still agrees to look at the Tooth Fairy files. The reference to Abigail then triggers a flashback to the scene of Will's framing for her murder, all the way back in the season one finale. A fatherly Hannibal walks a fully compliant Abigail through the process, including helping her to spray the scene with her own blood. When she volunteers to give up a finger Hannibal refuses on the grounds that he wants to teach her to play the harpsichord. Later in the episode it's also revealed that the two of them had a therapy session involving Abigail symbolically cutting the throat of her own father's exhumed corpse. This is a very different side to Abigail Hobbs than we saw through her previous interactions with Will. At the end of season two she was shown only briefly – attacking Alana Bloom and then realising that she's about to die. After that she was just an idealised figment of Will's imagination. Does he know any of this? Does he realise how involved she was in faking her own death and landing him in Dr Chilton's clutches?
Whilst Hannibal is reviewing the files Will visits with Alana. She and Margot are still together. They had a son as planned, so the Verger estate remains in their control. Despite this fabulous wealth Alana has opted to take the role of Hannibal's keeper, not to protect Will, but to protect any other victims should he fall prey to the cannibal's charms again. Which is looking incredibly likely since Will's second visit to Lecter's cell sees him envisioning the crime scene with Hannibal at his side in his imagination. Between them they deduce that the Tooth Fairy is either disfigured or believes that he is, that mirror pieces are chosen to control what is reflected and that the killer is going outside after the murder to stand naked in the moonlight. Hannibal takes the opportunity to further irritate Will on the subject of his family. He chose a wife with an existing child to avoid biological blame, clearly the secret to the Tooth Fairy's choice of victims is how they lived rather than how they were killed. Hannibal is later rewarded for his assistance with a visit from Dr Bloom. She doesn't trust his intentions with regard to Will and she threatens him with the thing he fears the most – indignity. It seems that Hannibal's oddly luxurious cell set up is dependant on his good behaviour. If he acts out she'll take all his comforts – from his books to his toilet. She likens him to a cat in his dislike for indignity, clearly she's never owned a cat or she'd know that this sort of retaliation is going to result in the cannibalistic murderer equivalent of a crap in the middle of the carpet. Really Alana, I thought you were smarter than that.
The realisation that the Tooth Fairy is going outside leads to the discovery of a buried cat in the garden of one of the victims. Apparently it was attacked the day before the family, the same as the surviving dog. Will wants the FBI to ask veterinarians to be on the alert for further attacks on animals, but the huge distance between the two murder scenes would make it impossible to focus such a message. Will also finds the 'Red Dragon' mahjong symbol carved into a tree and an annoying reporter loitering at the end of the driveway. Freddie Lounds has been following Will again and intends to publish about his visit with Dr Lecter. Will regrets that she wasn't actually killed during their ploy against Hannibal in season two, not least because she got into his hospital room during his recovery and published a photo of his temporary colostomy. She in turn thinks he should be grateful that she covered his junk with a big black box. Similarly she doesn't regret referring to Will and Hannibal as "Murder Husbands" (the fandom nickname for the pairing), since they did run off to Europe together. A point that Will can't really argue against. She wants the FBI to make use of her position, since she'll be publishing either way and she knows all psychopaths love to read about themselves. We don't really find out the answer but we do see Francis Dolarhyde reading about the investigation with the usually lurid Tattle Crime headlines.
There hasn't been a great deal of Dolarhyde in the episode so far – beyond a very brief flashback to his unhappy childhood and an hallucination that he is growing a tail – but now we get to see a turning point in his life. He works at a company involved with analog photography and has ventured into the office of Reba McClane (Rutina Wesley – True Blood), a coworker he usually only communicates with through memos. Whilst her work space is a darkroom its immediately obvious that Reba is blind and this seems to make Dolarhyde braver than usual. He speaks for the first time since he was introduced. His clearly suffers some kind of speech impediment, presumably as a result of his cleft lip/palette, but Reba doesn't seem to mind. Dolarhyde is looking for very specialist film to be used for nighttime photography. He claims his subject will be nocturnal animals at the zoo. The kind of film he needs is so delicate it must be processed in total darkness to avoid damage. Reba volunteers to do the work for him, jokingly guaranteeing his privacy. Given his actual subject matter Dolarhyde declines. That evening he offers her a ride home and she in turn invites inside for pie. She does most of the talking: explaining her background in training the newly blind; explaining that she likes the way he treats her without pity; and her intention to go into speech therapy as her next career. This hits a nerve and she asks to touch his face to understand his expression. He doesn't allow this contact be assures her that he is smiling.
The episode ends with a few revelations. Will's mind is already beginning to unravel. A happy conversation with Molly transforms into a vision of Will murdering her in the style of the Tooth Fairy. Jack visits Hannibal and reveals that he's been screening the mail. He knew about Hannibal's warning against investigating the Tooth Fairy but allowed it to be delivered because it would ultimately serve Jack's own purpose. Hannibal suggests that Jack just eat Will's brain directly from his skull instead. Finally Hannibal receives a phone call from 'his attorney', it's actually Francis Dolarhyde calling to thank Dr Lecter for his interest and introduces himself as The Great Red Dragon. I know that this plot point is from the original book but it's 2015, what kind of secure facility for the criminally insane fails to screen its incoming calls? Oh you say you're his attorney, well in that case let me just connect you to the mass murdering cannibal, hold please! I hope Jack or Alana is at least monitoring Hannibal's phone calls or we get some kind of explanation for this poor security in the next episode. I'm finding watching this show rather stressful at the moment! The investigative scenes really brought us back to height of season two and it's hard to believe the Florence madness and Verger massacre actually happened. But they did happen, so I'm wary of trusting the current tack of the show. This was a great episode, well written with some great comic moments. The nod to the fandom in the Freddie Lounds scene was fun, as was the acting in that entire sequence, Lara Jean Chorostecki really knows how to make you hate a character, even when she's right. Rutina Wesley is doing a brilliant job of portraying Reba, I'm really looking forward to seeing more of her next week. Speaking of things I'd like to see more of – heartbreakingly, the developing relationship between Hannibal and Abigail was sublimely done and very believable. Shame she's dead goddammit! Fingerscrossed that next week is more of the same.
*pedantic art historical note – Dolarhyde has a copy of the William Blake painting "The Great Red Dragon And The Woman Clothed IN Sun" which shows the woman cowering at the feet of the dragon. Meanwhile "The Great Red Dragon And The Woman Clothed WITH The Sun" is a different painting from the same series which shows the same woman in a much more powerful position, rising up as the dragon hovers above her. It seems that next week's episode title will refer to the IN painting so I assume that the use of the WITH title this week is intentional.

Buffalo Bills fan confidence reaches all-time high after Week 1 win
There wasn't much room to go.
By Matt Warren Sep 19, 2020, 9:00pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: Buffalo Bills fan confidence reaches all-time high after Week 1 win
Most Buffalo Bills fans were already pretty confident in their team heading into 2020. A few were of the "wait and see" variety, and they liked what they saw against the New York Jets last week. A small handful are still not convinced. That's according to our SB Nation Reacts poll from this week.
Coming into 2020, Bills fans were confident at a rate of 96%, which matches where they were after free agency and the 2020 NFL Draft. Some were convinced after Josh Allen's first 300-yard game and a comfortable win over the New York Jets and that percentage ticked up to 97% this week.
Last season, the team only got as high as 97% fan confidence following their playoff-clinching win in Week 16. It's the highest number we've recorded in the few years we have done fan confidence rankings.
Some fans are as not as judicious with their confidence. Fans of the Arizona Cardinals, Tennessee Titans, Baltimore Ravens, Kansas City Chiefs, Las Vegas Raiders, and New Orleans Saints all have fan confidence at 100%. The Cincinnati Bengals and Los Angeles Rams also sit at 97% with the Seattle Seahawks at 98%. On the other end of the spectrum are the Houston Texans and Atlanta Falcons at 15% and the New York Jets at 16% fan confidence.

New Community Guidelines From YouTube: What Creators Need to Know Right Now
Rob Wilson in
YouTube Tips & TricksYouTube News
YouTube have just made some sweeping changes to their Community Guidelines which affect every creator. Find out how you can stay on the right side of the new rules.
YouTube have updated their Community Guidelines which cover a multitude of sins video creators might break be it nudity, harmful, hateful, violent content, harassment and bullying, or spam. Creators can quickly find themselves in trouble if they cross the line on any of these topics.
There are many different Community Guidelines and also a number of places where creators can break them such as:
In the past, the punishment from YouTube differed depending on where the crime was committed. It might be that you lose livestream privileges or that you couldn't post videos for a certain length of time. The rules were somewhat chaotic, so YouTube have cleared up the confusion for creators and made it crystal clear what violates a Community Guideline (NOTE: we're covering Community Guidelines in the post and not copyright strikes which is a whole different topic and one we'll be covering soon).
YouTube Community Guidelines February 2019
As of February 19th 2019, the new Community Guidelines are in place for all creators on the platform. YouTube are keen not to punish first time offenders who may not be up to speed with the rules, and as a result, all channels will receive a one-time warning the first time they post content that crosses the line with no penalties to their channel except for the removal of that content. The good news is that this one time warning applies to all channels so even if you do have an existing strike you still get this warning before further penalties. It doesn't matter where you break the Community Guideline whether it be on a thumbnail, video content, playlists, or via the comments - the penalty is always going to be the same.
Strike #1: The second time you break Community Guidelines will be considered your first official strike. That will result in your content being removed as before. On top of this all your YouTube content posting privileges will be frozen for one week. This includes videos, live-streams, YouTube stories, and community posts. However, you'll still be able to post comments. After a week you will get all of the posting features back but the strike remains on your account for 90 days in total.
Strike #2: If you commit another Community Guideline violation within a 90 day period this is your second strike with the same penalties applied except that instead of a one week ban you get a two week ban on publishing content.
Strike #3: If you fall foul of the Community Guidelines for a third time, YouTube isn't here to play. Your channel will be terminated!
Obviously the termination of your channel is pretty drastic so YouTube have now promised to be more transparent about the guideline you violated so it doesn't get to that stage. They will be more specific with information about that violation, communicate it to you through notifications and emails and via the Creative Studio. There will also be an appeals process in place as before.
We applaud all of the changes that YouTube are making here. I think that the first time warning is a fantastic idea because many video creators get terrified over making any strike at any point in their YouTube journey. I think a consistent penalty system makes it very clear to the user. It also eliminates the extremely harsh 90 day livestream penalty there used to be.
In effect, creators are getting an extra strike out of the new rules but you shouldn't take advantage of that. After your first warning you shouldn't be making any further strikes on your YouTube channel.

YouTube Bans Comments on Videos Featuring Kids: What That Means for Family Ch...

A less fantastical, angstier book than Charlotte Doyle, this Avi y/a novel concerns two kids with different ways of disguising the truth about their family lives. It was a very powerful book for me in jr. high.
Argh! This book is so real, so painful, so sad, and ultimately beautiful. As I read it, I thought it was just a story of a 13-year-old boy who missed his parents. In the end it turned out to be a piece of art about human emotion and frailty.
GENERAL FICTION CATEGORYConrad lives in St. Louis with his Aunt Lu and Uncle Carl. His parents live in New York. After the divorce, it was decided this was best for everyone. And it is, until Conrad realizes that his parents no longer seem to know him. He hasn't seen them in almost a year, and the presents they sent for Christmas were things he didn't care about. When his aunt and uncle tell him he's going to England for vacation instead of New York to see his parents, he becomes desperate to find a way to change the plan. As he is picking up his plane ticket, by chance he meets Nancy, a girl with a tiny green butterfly tattoo on her hand, who hardly speaks. Nancy lives in St. Louis. Her parents live in New York. When Conrad finds himself in New York, he and Nancy find his parents. As he becomes closer to Nancy, he realizes the truth about his parents and comes to understand his aunt and his uncle too. When I was twelve, I stole this book from my public library. I just couldn't bear to give it back. One of Avi's earlier works, it's written in deceptively simple language, the characters are believable, and the pages almost turn themselves.
This book was a read aloud in fifth grade, and at the time, I thought it was one of the best books I had read the whole year. I could picture the whole story really clearly in my mind, almost as if it was a TV show I was watching. I pictured what the main character (Conrad) looked like, and his hometown. I was actually sort of sad when we finished the book, because I had really enjoyed reading (well, more like listening) to it. The characters were very realistic and I could relate to how they felt in many ways. The overall plot was very strong, and again, very realistic and possible.
I read this when I was 11, so I would reccommend this book for middle schoolers.It's basically a story about a boy and a girl who both have many complicated family problems. They get to know each other and help each other face these problems. I know this review is lacking...but it was a long time ago, and if I mention anything else, it would probably ruin the book. By the way, the ending is AMAZING.
It was okay. The thing is, I really just didn't like the characters. Not the writing, the characters themselves. I didn't relate to them, I thought they were unlikable... made it hard to like or appreciate their story.
I think this book had a very good plot idea. However, the book kind of lost me in the middle. The whole thing about his parents being divorsed did not affect the book as much as I would have liked it to.It was an ok book.
What a strange book. Deals with broken marriages that break apart and that insist on staying together, and the damage that comes to the children in those marriages.
I read this book based on title alone when I was younger. I only remember now that it was sort of sad.
This is a fantastic small book! Stick with it until the very end and it will be very worth it.

RBI Governor Urjit Patel resigned from his post today, nine months before his term officially ended. He was appointed Governor of India's Central Bank following the exit of Dr Raghuram Rajan who was appointed by the previous UPA government.
Though Patel cited "personal reasons " for his exit, it is common knowledge that he was having problems with the BJP-led NDA government and had raised issues of RBI's autonomy.
Speculation about his exit were rife last month but after a crucial meeting with Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, Patel had stayed on.
Patel will be best known for executing the Demonetization exercise which has been heavily criticised by experts including former RBI governor Rajan.
"On the account of personal reasons, I have decided to step down from my current position effective immediately. It has been my privilege and honour to serve in the Reserve Bank of India in various capacities over the years," Patel said in a statement.
"The support and hard work of RBI staff, officers and management has been the proximate driver of the Bank's considerable accomplishments in recent years. I take this opportunity to express gratitude to my colleagues and Directors of the RBI Central Board, and wish them all the best for the future," he added.
Patel was the 24th Governor of the RBI and he was appointed in September 2016 after the exit of Raghuram Rajan.
The past few months witnessed a turf war over issues liquidity, credit flow and governance of bank between the RBI and the Government of India. Post deputy governor Viral Acharya's speech last month over the autonomy of the bank, there was a speculation of his resignation.
Urjit Patel has been associated with the RBI since January 2013, initially as a deputy governor and then as the Governor.


We have "exile" in quotes because on this leaderboard, we're tracking all days played outside the regular game — whether it be Exile Island, Redemption Island, Ghost Island, temporary exile, or Edge of Extinction. Each format is a bit different from the others, and it's not really fair to lump them all together like this, but who really wants a list of just Exile Island stays? So the "type" reflects the format: EI = Exile Island; EoE = Edge of Extinction; and RI = Redemption Island.
This is not an exhaustive list. We dropped all totals of 4 days or below, because you have to stop somewhere. But good news, Aras now makes the career cut when his 4 Exile and 4 Redemption days get added together. Yay!


According to a new research, taking a high dose of vitamin D may be an inexpensive and easy way to treat people with multiple sclerosis (MS), an autoimmune disorder that affects the brain and spinal chord. The essential vitamin – made when the skin comes into contact with sunlight – is also found in foods such as egg yolks, cheese and fish oil. Low levels of the vitamin, which is linked to bone health, have previously been linked to MS, which affects about 2.5 million people across the globe.
Now scientists believe providing patients with vitamin D supplements could reduce the number and severity of flare-ups.Multiple sclerosis is high up there with those afflictions you don't want anywhere near you. So, of course, doctors are always looking for ways to stop it, to treat it, or just to make it more bearable to those suffering from it. In recent study from the Johns Hopkins Multiple Sclerosis Center, scientists revealed that multiple sclerosis might be ameliorated by vitamin D.
The study, run by Peter Calabresi, the United States Johns Hopkins Multiple Sclerosis Center's director, focused on 40 patients suffering from multiple sclerosis, or MS, and without vitamin D deficiencies.
The 40 adult patients were split into two groups, and over the course of six months, one group was administered 800 international units of vitamin D (200 more than the national recommended maximum of 600), while the other group took 10,400 international units.
Blood tests were performed on the patients at the start of the study, three months into the testing, and when the study was over.
The first group didn't show any results, but the second one showed a drastic reduction in the levels of the inflammatory protein interleukin-17, which is a factor in multiple sclerosis.
Despite relatively useful results, the lead researcher is still hesitant to recommend any sort of vitamin treatment to MS patients.
He says that the only things proven by the tests are that a very large daily dose of vitamin D reduces the numbers of some cells implicated in the MS process, and that they give the researchers some new notions of how exactly MS and vitamin D interact in the human body.
The study was too short and small-scale to actually accomplish anything more than just theoretical; however additional studies have begun following the results showed by the first study.
The current studies taking place are still in an inceptive state, some of them even still looking for participants.
They will focus on administering various doses of vitamin D, both in hopes of finding out more about how it affects multiple sclerosis, and in an attempt to see if long-term exposure to very large doses of vitamin D, 5,000 to 10,000 international doses per day, can help fight MS symptoms.
However, despite the apparently positive results, the researchers advise against taking more than the national recommended maximum dose of 600, as vitamin D excess can lead to its own array of issues, including but limited to constipation, kidney stones, poor appetite, and generalized weakness.


4 Concerns Moving into a Vancouver Laneway Home | Vancouver Movers Guide | Ferguson Moving & Storage Ltd. Ferguson Moving & Storage Ltd 4 Concerns Moving into a Vancouver Laneway Home | Vancouver Movers Guide | Ferguson Moving & Storage Ltd.
In our previous article, we covered some major advantages of moving into a laneway house. In this second part, we would like to address some drawbacks to moving into laneway houses in Vancouver.
Moving into laneway houses actually encourage overcrowding. Vancouver is already facing overpopulation. There is overcrowding with respect to city services and infrastructures such as sewer, telecommunications, electricity, transportation and roads. The more people move into a city, the more a city must keep up with its developments. Laneway houses will help bring a community closer together, allowing less energy and gas used travelling within the community.
According to the Vancouver city guidelines, laneway houses are under a strict guideline in their design and space. Homeowners are not able to build anything higher than a one and a half storey laneway house. In a one and half storey design, there is an even stricter guideline to its architectural design to minimize modification to the solar access, privacy, and outdoor enjoyment of neighbours. In larger lots, two bedroom laneway house units are allowed. In standard 33 ft by 122 ft lots, only studios and one bedroom laneway houses are allowable. Young couples who are thinking about starting a family, or those who have frequent overnight visitors will need to take these space restrictions into consideration.
Another limitation is residential parking. Most houses in Vancouver do not have driveways. Some local neighbourhood streets, therefore, have a high demand for parking. In these residential areas, residences must apply for parking permits to be able to park on their street freely without a time order adderall europe restriction. Parking may become a problem if there are added residences in the neighbourhood due to an increase in the number of laneway houses.
With a small living space, comes a small storage space. Because of the many outdoor activities that are available in Vancouver all year round, you may have larger seasonal sports gear such as skis, snowboards, or bikes. It will be fairly difficult to move into a laneway house in Vancouver if you have a lot of large items to store. Some solutions to this space-restriction problem is to rent out storage space in another location, or even come to an agreement with your landlord to keep some things in their shed or garage.
Because of the small lot space that a laneway house is restricted to be on, the only way to have enough space for a reasonable-sized living area is to build upward. It is difficult to have a spacious two bedroom laneway house while keeping the unit to be of one story. This translates into moving into a laneway house with stairs, making it less accessible to various groups of the population, such as aging seniors or those with mobility problems. These are the populations that are usually a perfect fit for smaller, cheaper dwellings.
We hope to have provided some insight through our two-part article to your considerations into moving into laneway houses. For all your moving needs, or to rent local storage space, please contact us at 604-922-2212 or contact us online today!

Full Name: Austin Powers
Organization: British Secret Service
Creator: Mike Myers
Austin Powers is an agent with the British Secret Service.
The year is 1997 and Austin Powers is asleep. Really asleep. As in cryostatis. He has been that way for 30 years, willingly so, put there to snooze away until he is needed again. Now that time has come and the greatest secret agent there was back in the day is awake and "ready for action, Baby". That last may or may not have been something he actually said but it definitely sounds like him.
Back in 1967, Powers was the epitome of suave and cool and oh so mod (slang from back then for "with it", "hip", "rad" and other terms that have also come and gone). He was such a hip cat (little before his time) that no one really noticed how bad his teeth were or how truly un-handsome he was. Guys loved being around him and girls flocked to him. He was Mr. Charm indeed.
And he was also very, very good at being an agent. He was the best, as just said, and he was also the only man to be able to go toe-to-toe with Dr. Evil. That man, bald-headed, white-suited evil genius scientist and criminal, was the greatest threat the civilized nations had to face. Forget the Cold War. Dr. Evil was who we had to worry about. But Powers bested him again and again and almost had him when Dr. Evil escaped to outer space and had himself cryogenically frozen. Trooper that Powers was, he volunteered to also go into hibernation until Dr. Evil returned.
Now that Dr. Evil is back, so is Powers and again the two can go mano-a-mano with the fate of the world in the balance.

How could I not like this wonderfully satiric put-down of all things secret-agent-ish from the 60's and 70's. Sharks with frickin' laser beams. What a great idea. I mean, "Groovy, baby!" Everyone in that first movie was so incredibly spot on for the role they were filling, especially the wonderful Elizabeth Hurley. I laughed so hard in parts my side hurt.
The second one was not as funny, in my opinion, or I was not so in the mood. Loved Rob Lowe as a younger Robert Wagner. Stroke of genius casting. And other parts were pretty good as well.
The third is still on my to-watch some day list.

What International Children's Literature Offers
March 25, 2020 | No Comments
The following is a speech Jessica Powers, our Editorial and Foreign Rights Director, gave at the 2019 Neustadt Children's Literature Conference.
Two weeks ago, I returned from a six-week trip in South Africa with my 13 year old niece. My niece has not traveled a lot and she had never been outside the U.S. so this was kind of a big deal. Now, my niece is a very American teen. She's articulate, smart, sassy, stubborn, extremely opinionated, and a bit self-centered and full of herself. She's interested in typically American things: she's in love with the musicals Hamilton and Be More Chill, both which she can quote and sing by heart; she's devoted to anime; and she listens to music like "Heavy Dirty Soul" by 21 Pilots. So…When I go to South Africa, I do not travel in hotels or go on safari. Thirteen years ago, an Ndebele family in Johannesburg emotionally adopted me as a member of their clan, so my niece was getting herself into something the likes of which she had never seen before. From the airport on, she was immersed in the daily life of an African family. She had to eat pap and boerwors. She cuddled my 2 month old niece, born on my birthday, which according to African custom makes her my twin even though we are 45 years apart in age. She danced in the streets of Alexandra township with my African nieces and their friends; they all twerked together and they tried to teach her how to do Zulu dancing. While we were there, we participated in lobola (brideprice) negotiations for my Ndebele brother to marry a young Sotho woman; my niece participated in helping to buy the sheep and slaughter it as part of the ceremonies. She was a participant in the women's ribald singing and dancing as they brought the bride to the groom's house.
I have to tell you the truth though. After my niece's first night in Africa, I worried how she would fit in. I worried because she talked non-stop from the airport to my sister's house, and every word out of her mouth was about herself and her life in America. My African nieces, who are fourteen and fifteen, are lovely and typical of African young women. They don't assert themselves, they are quiet and respectful. My heart sunk as I watched this American teen and these African teens interact and my American niece dominated my African nieces with her chatter and self-assurance and pure American-ness. Fortunately, that was just the first night, and things got better. Only a few weeks later, I was lucky enough to overhear her describing her trip so far to her parents. I had to laugh when she said, "You just have to hug everybody. I mean, that's how they greet people here. And when we're driving around, people wave at us. Everybody is so friendly! Do you know, one of the things I've realized after being here is that Americans are very rude? We are, we are so rude and so unfriendly!"
I was glad to see that a few weeks in another country had caused my niece to be a little more self-aware of her own culture and background, of the behavior of her fellow Americans. Now I'm not sure I completely agree with her assessment of American society, but I do think one of the characteristics of American society is a tendency to think of ourselves as exceptional; to believe that both our strengths and weaknesses are unique to our historical and cultural reality. This hubris causes us to look only to ourselves as repositories of potential solutions to our problems, and to ourselves to perpetuate our strengths.
What is true of our culture is, unfortunately, replicated in the literary world.
Earlier this year, I wrote an essay on why I think it's important for American children and young adults to read global literature. I argued that reading books by people completely outside our culture could help us gain a better perspective on our own. The editor rejected the essay and commented that Americans can gain diverse perspectives by reading the work of American writers from diverse backgrounds. She had missed my main point. American writers from diverse ethnic groups still share a fundamental point of reference: American culture and daily life. They can't offer what international children's literature—that is, literature written by people who live and experience life completely outside of the American milieu—can offer us. That is what I want to talk about today.
My first point is that international children's literature can help all of us begin to see ourselves as global citizens, sharing concerns with people from every nation on earth.
In the USA today, surrounded by news that focuses almost entirely on U.S. issues, watching American television and films, studying primarily American history in school, and reading American authors writing about American kids, it's easy for American children and teenagers to imagine themselves as existing in isolation from the rest of the world. Or not even to think about the rest of the world at all! But reading books about other people in other places helps us see ourselves as part of the interconnected and dependent and beautiful system called humanity. Like animals of the oceans, we may occupy different ecosystems but we are part of the same fundamental environment. Changes in one ocean have reverberations and profound effects for sea creatures living in other oceans. So too for humans. American kids are connected to the people of Hong Kong, even if they don't realize it or even know that Hong Kong is a place. What is happening there matters, not just because of some abstract ethical value we might espouse about the interconnectedness of humanity but because what is happening there now will quite literally change the lives we and our children lead.
I grew up in El Paso, Texas, 3 miles from the Mexican border. As a child, I was immersed in the rhythms and rituals and values of Mexican culture. I've never taken for granted the primacy of mainstream American culture, since it was never the primary culture that surrounded me. Unfortunately for most American kids of every ethnic background, it's easy to assume that American culture and life is the only thing that matters, because that's the only thing they know. And to be frank, that isn't preparing them very well for the future.
Global literature can change that.
My second point is that international children's literature allows us to escape the claustrophobia of our current social climate yet still examine the human condition including those very same issues that we face here. Sometimes, it's easier to explore the problems that we face in our own lives if we see them embedded in a completely different context.
In my most recent young adult novel, Under Water, I explore the very real problem of xenophobic violence against immigrants in South Africa. My heroine Khosi speaks out against the violence; somebody murders the Somali who owns a tuck shop near her house and leaves the body on her doorstep as a message to her to shut up. When we were in South Africa just last month, mobs set Zimbabwean and Nigerian immigrants on fire and shut down the streets of neighborhoods in Pretoria and Johannesburg with violent riots. I was appearing at the South African book festival, which was literally taking place in a street adjacent to the riots. Believe me, I chose our route to the book fair very carefully and talked to my niece and my 9-year-old son about what was happening. American children and teens may not see mobs enacting violent justice against immigrants, but they do hear about incidents like the recent mass shooting in El Paso, when a white supremacist came to my hometown to enact what he saw as necessary justice against Mexican immigrants. Are the issues so different? Yet how many librarians, when trying to make sure their bookshelves are "diverse," stop when they've filled the checklist of books by American writers of diverse identities set in the USA? American kids of all kinds also need windows into the worlds outside of the United States in order to become educated participants in our increasingly global democracy. They need to understand that the problems of our society are problems faced elsewhere by other people in different cultural contexts. And sometimes it's easier to talk about and think about those problems in another society; there is less emotionally at stake for you, for the people around you.
This leads to my last and third point. Like heroines who embark on a journey to a different world and then return to their own as a fundamentally changed person, reading books set in places that may seem alien to our own world can allow us to return to our own lives with a renewed vision, with alternative solutions for change, and with greater hope for healing.
In the last decade, children's literature in the United States has seen a remarkable transformation. The diversity movement has gone viral and mainstream. It is no longer a fringe movement of small presses and backstage, whispered conversations. Concerns are still prevalent but we have seen a real sea change. My point today is that if we conceive of "diversity" as an American issue, we may inadvertently continue to perpetuate some of the ongoing cultural problems that the movement has tried to address and solve. The purpose of art is not only to create models of our disease/illness but to envision, describe, and create the medicines that can heal us. Global literature can give us perspective on American life and culture, engender a wellspring of creative thought to help us heal, and launch us into a new vision for justice and peace throughout the world.

Only a few more weeks of the semester then back into the studio full force. I am part of an exhibition opening in early July that I need to get pieces ready for, and have some new ideas for that and an upcoming solo show in September. I was able to get into the studio the past couple weekends, mostly working on a commission in New York.
Besides the commission, I have been making some other pieces and seeing new directions that the work can take.

I am going to start taking these and creating large works soon. Stay tuned.

Halloween is a holiday with a long, pagan, history.
When most people think of Halloween, they think of a light hearted celebration featuring candy and people dressed up in a variety of costumes. However, things were a bit different a few thousand years ago.
Halloween originally was a Celtic holiday called Samhain. The Celtic people believed that on the day before Samhain, October 31, the spirits of the dead would return as ghosts. They would leave food and wine outside the door to try to ward them off and wear masks whenever they left the house.
When Christianity got ahold of this, they renamed it All Saint's Day, or All Hallow's Day. The night before, still October 31, became All Hallow's Eve, which was shortened to Halloween.
Wholesome traditions such as souling and guising developed in Medieval Britain. Souling was when the needy would beg for food on November 2, All Soul's Day. In return for the food, they would pray for the deceased relatives of other people. Guising was when young people would dress up in costumes and collect food, wine, money, and various other offerings in exchange for some sort of entertainment.
In 19th century America, immigrants from Scotland and Ireland brought back these traditions in what is now known as trick-or-treating. Originally, it was more for the tricks than the treats, but it evolved into what it is today in the 1950s.
Halloween has changed a lot over the millennia. It is still celebrated in many places throughout the world.

Tax Relief on Working From Home Expenses
Launched on 1 October, the online portal is designed to be simple to use and has been set up to process tax relief on additional expenses for employed workers who have been told to work from home by their employer to help stop the spread of coronavirus.
HMRC figures show it received more than 54,800 claims between 1 and 11 October.
From 6 April 2020, employers have been able to pay employees up to £6 a week tax-free to cover additional costs if they have had to work from home. Employees who have not received the working from home expenses payment direct from their employer can apply to receive the tax relief from HMRC.
Eligible taxpayers can claim tax relief based on the rate at which they pay tax.
For example, if an employed worker pays the 20% basic rate of tax and claims tax relief on £6 a week, they would receive £1.20 a week in tax relief (20% of £6 a week) while higher rate taxpayers would the receive £2.40 a week (40% of £6 a week).
Over the course of the year, this could mean taxpayers can reduce
Employees do not need to provide evidence to show their bills have increased unless they are applying for tax relief on costs above the £6 per week flat rate, in which evidence of the increased costs may be required.
According to HMRC, the majority of tax relief claims are for repairing or replacing tools and branded uniforms, professional subscriptions and business mileage. Healthcare workers, people working in the food and retail sector and those in the construction industry are most likely to make a claim.
HMRC is encouraging individuals claiming tax relief for working from home to apply directly via the portal. Agents will not be able to use the new service to apply for the relief on a client's behalf, which HMRC says is to ensure individuals receive 100% of the tax relief that is due.
The tax authority says that in the 2018/19 tax year, more than 500,000 taxpayers (66% of total expense claims) applied for the tax relief using an agent rather than directly from HMRC and will have had to pay fees or commission. It points out that those who are paid through PAYE can claim directly to HMRC.
Once the application has been approved, the online portal will adjust an individual's tax code for the 2020 to 2021 tax year. The employee will receive the tax relief directly through their salary and will continue to receive the tax relief directly through their salary and will continue to receive the adjustment until March 2021.

Founded in 1630, Boston is one of the oldest cities in the United States. As the largest city in New England – boasting a metropolitan population of 4.5 million – it is the northeastern hub of sports, media, culture and entertainment.
Several major historic events have taken place in the city, including some events that were a direct cause of the American Revolution. Examples are the Boston Tea Party and the Boston Massacre. Many significant battles were fought in the surrounding area as well.
Having played and still playing a leading role in the shaping of the U.S., Boston is also home to many 'firsts' in the country . For instance, it has the first Latin School, the first public school and the first subway system. Boston is where Harvard University is located, as well as a few other prestigious colleges; it is the hometown of the New England Patriots and the Boston Red Sox, both extremely successful sports teams; and some of the world's finest hospitals can be found in the city as well.
There are dozens of activities in the city. Let's take a look at a (subjective) top 10 things to do in Boston .
The Bunker Hill Monument is an obelisk – the first ever built in America – that commemorates the Battle of Bunker Hill that was lost by the colonial army. The 67-meter structure is an important landmark in Boston.
The imposing Massachusetts State House overlooks the Boston Common. It is a truly grand building, constructed in the late 18th century, which can be visited. It is the official middle of Boston and not to be missed!
This 18th-century warship is a national landmark in the U.S. and marks the end of the Freedom Trail (see number 1 below). The ship can be boarded on tours and the nearby USS Constitution Museum is worth a visit as well.
The 10-hectare Harvard Yard is the central area of the campus of Harvard University. Located in the neighborhood of Cambridge, this historic site is free to visit. You can stroll through the yard and admire the beautiful 18th-century buildings (housing libraries, classrooms, museums,…) that surround it.
Built in 1716 and now dwarfed by the surrounding skyscrapers, the Old State House is arguably the city's most historic building. It was there that, on July 18, 1776, the Bostonians first heard the Declaration of Independence from the balcony. It was underneath that very balcony that the Boston Massacre had taken place six years earlier. The Old State House now houses a visitor center.
Copley Square, located in the Back Bay district, is one of Boston's most iconic squares and is surrounded by many architectural highlights. It used to be the location of MIT before it moved to Cambridge. Now, the square is fringed with buildings such as the impressive Trinity Church, the John Hancock Tower (the tallest structure in New England) and the Boston Public Library.
Beacon Hill is a small neighborhood in central Boston. It is also one of the city's oldest, consisting of narrow cobblestone streets, brick row houses and gas-lit streetlamps. This fashionable, and expensive, area is arguably the most charming in the entire city.
Quincy Market and Faneuil Hall are the focal point of social life in the city. Home to more than one hundred stores, bars and restaurants, it's one of the biggest tourist attractions and one of the most popular on my list of top 10 things to do in Boston.
Dating back to 1634 when it was a common pasture, the Boston Common is the oldest public park in the United States. This large green area lies in the heart of the city, near the Massachusetts State House and Beacon Hill, and contains numerous monuments, statues and fountains, as well as, obviously, trees.
The 4-kilometer Freedom Trail is Boston's number one highlight. Why? Because it takes in pretty much all other highlights. It runs through the heart of the city and past virtually every major historic site and building. The trail is marked with a line on the pavement, making it incredibly easy to walk it. This is the first thing you should do when staying in Boston!

The civil liberties and civil rights that define our country and protect all of us are under unprecedented attack as the Trump administration attempts to carry out its unconstitutional campaign promises.
Executive Director Vanessa Chong said: "The ACLU is presenting these statewide forums as a community service to spark critical conversations and broaden support for the emergence of all voices determined to protect Hawaii's core values."
The three topic areas that rose up reflect deep concerns in our community: the desire for a government that protects the people from unfairness and discrimination, that protects our privacy and our free speech rights as it is charged to do by the Constitution.

Lowey, Price Statement on Long Overdue Disaster Funding for Puerto Rico
WASHINGTON — House Appropriations Committee Chairwoman Nita M. Lowey (D-NY) and Transportation, Housing and Urban Development Appropriations Subcommittee Chairman David Price (D-NC) released the following statement after the Trump administration announced that they would no longer delay disaster recovery aid for Puerto Rico:
"It's been 704 days since Congress appropriated disaster recovery funding for Puerto Rico to help our fellow Americans recover from devastating hurricanes. After broken promises, blown deadlines, and the illegal withholding of the Federal Register notice, HUD announced today that Puerto Ricans will finally have the opportunity to access the aid they so desperately need.
"As appropriators, we have fought for the release of the aid by questioning Secretary Carson, establishing a legal deadline for agency action, conducting an oversight hearing with HUD officials and the Inspector General, and withholding money from the Department in the most recent appropriations bill. It should never have come to this.
"There are still questions left unanswered, including why this necessary assistance was delayed in the first place. Today's announcement seems to clear all major hurdles, allowing Puerto Rico to obtain $8.2 billion in unmet needs aid and begin the process of developing an action plan to spend $8.3 billion in additional mitigation resources. We expect that HUD will work collaboratively with Puerto Rico as they continue their recovery, and we will continue to provide robust oversight to ensure it does. We will also carefully scrutinize any special conditions placed on these grants."

Vicinity Centres (Vicinity) has partnered with smart building company ClearVue Technologies (ClearVue) to launch a global-first trial of a clear solar glass structure installed at Warwick Grove shopping centre in Western Australia.
The centre's existing glass atrium has been replaced by a new structure that uses ClearVue's clear, photovoltaic solar glass (PV glass), which collects infra-red light and deflects it to the surface edge where it's converted to electricity. ClearVue's solar PV glass is completely transparent and the first of its kind used in a commercial venture globally.
Vicinity Centres Executive General Manager Shopping Centre Management Justin Mills, said: "We're excited to be trialling such innovative, leading-edge technology and embarking on a global first in solar energy application.
Vicinity has already committed to $73 million of investment in shopping centre solar – the largest project of its kind in Australia – across 22 centres with a total capacity of 31 megawatts and to be completed in 2019.
The clean energy generated by the new solar glass atrium will provide the centre with electricity and create a more sustainable and connected destination for our community.
ClearVue Executive Chairman, Victor Rosenberg said: "Vicinity has taken a leadership position in renewable energy in the property sector which is why we wanted to partner with them.
Vicinity and ClearVue will monitor the trial at Warwick Grove, with the potential to explore other opportunities.
Vicinity Centres is a leading Australian retail property group with a fully integrated asset management platform and $26 billion in retail assets under management across 66 shopping centres.

To meet today's increasingly stringent environmental requirements, engine designs are changing to reduce harmful exhaust emissions. These design changes can result in increased contaminant levels of lube oil – particularly soot, which can cause valve bridge and fuel injection wear, filter plugging, bearing failures and sludge formation.
At the same time, equipment users need to extend their oil drain intervals and reduce costly downtime.
Fleetguard Centriguard Centrifuge lube filters provide a solution for both of these critical requirements. Centriguard Centrifuge filters use a spinning rotor and centrifugal force to retain the damage-causing sludge and return clean oil back to the sump.
Reduced engine wear – as the unit removes additional contamination over and above the conventional lube filter, the moving parts have less exposure to contamination and therefore less wear.
Extended oil life – with less contamination in the oil, the service intervals can be extended, minimising service costs and improving your bottom line.

Edward Snowden makes 'moral' case for presidential pardon
Edward Snowden has set out the case for Barack Obama granting him a pardon before the US president leaves office in January, arguing that the disclosure of the scale of surveillance by US and British intelligence agencies was not only morally right but had left citizens better off.
The US whistleblower's comments, made in an interview with the Guardian, came as supporters, including his US lawyer, stepped up a campaign for a presidential pardon. Snowden is wanted in the US, where he is accused of violating the Espionage Act and faces at least 30 years in jail.
Speaking on Monday via a video link from Moscow, where he is in exile, Snowden said any evaluation of the consequences of his leak of tens of thousands of National Security Agency and GCHQ documents in 2013 would show clearly that people had benefited.
"Yes, there are laws on the books that say one thing, but that is perhaps why the pardon power exists – for the exceptions, for the things that may seem unlawful in letters on a page but when we look at them morally, when we look at them ethically, when we look at the results, it seems these were necessary things, these were vital things," he said.

Last Night's Gutsy Win Over Cincy Leaves SMU As 1 of 2 Unbeatens Left In The Country.
After their thrilling 59-57 win over conference foe Cincinnati last night, all seven of the SMU Mustangs' scholarship players attended the post-game press conference instead of the usual two or three typically made available. It was an impressive show of solidarity and a demonstration of the brotherhood that this embattled team has embraced.
These were the seven players who took to the court in Thursday night's tightly contested match against the Bearcats at Moody Coliseum — although, really, it was closer to six, as junior guard Sterling Brown was ejected from the game just three minutes in for leaving the bench area during a scuffle on the court after several players dove for a loose ball.
But even that move from Brown was a telling sign of this group's unity. As the team's done all season, the Mustangs battled through the man-down adversity and toppled the Bearcats, a team that swept the Mustangs in their two conference games last year and that has generally been a thorn in SMU's side since it joined the American Athletic Conference. So it's not only remarkable that this team was able to walk away with a close win over a good team. That they did so with resiliency and confidence is also admirable. As senior forward Markus Kennedy noted in the press conference, this team's motto all season long has been "Next man up."
That much rang true earlier in the year when junior guard Ben Emelogu went down with a season ending injury. It rang true, too, when freshman guard Sedrick Barefield announced that he was transferring out of the program, and when junior forward Semi Ojeleye announced that he would sit out this season to maintain two full years of eligibility. Most recently, it rang true as impact player Keith Frazier announced that he was leaving the team for personal reasons.
All season long, head coach Larry Brown and associate head coach Tim Jankovich have watched on as their team's roster has been whittled down to its current depth of just seven scholarship players. Remarkably, though, this team still hasn't lost a game — something that's given these players all the confidence in the world and an added bonus to the chip on their shoulder already in place as this team plays through this lost season in which it has been banned from postseason play.
Currently, the Mustangs stand as the No. 15-ranked team in the country. But with last night's win, which keeps SMU going as one of just two undefeated teams in college basketball along with the South Carolina Gamecocks, that ranking is expected to rise as high as a Top 10 ranking.
Yes, once again the eyes of the college basketball world are on The Hilltop — so much so that, again, as Kennedy was oozing with confidence in the press conference, he recognized that the Mustangs are not only getting every team's best shot but that beating SMU could stand as an important NCAA Tournament resume boost for those opposing teams.
It's hard to imagine this versatile bunch losing anytime soon, though. The six-man rotation on display last night flashed some real the flexibility as 6'10″ forward Ben Moore spent 33 minutes playing and guarding the opposing three instead of his normal four. Point guards Shake Milton and Nic Moore, meanwhile, played all but one minute of the game combined. After the game, Nic Moore joked that, if need be, he's willing to play the five if it comes down to it. He and his teammates were also quick to joke that neither conditioning nor fatigue in a 40-minute game is much of an issue given the stresses of normal Larry Brown-helmed practices.
Last night's win was certainly a team effort. But their were some standouts. Even with all those minutes played, Nic Moore was still able to deliver two crucial three-pointers during the team's 11-2 run in the last two minutes of the game. And, as has been the case all season long, senior forward Jordan Tolbert came through with some of the biggest plays of the game when he tipped in a missed shot to give the Mustangs their game-winning basket and then blocked what would've been a game-tying basket on the other end of the court with 18 seconds left on the clock, which the Mustangs were then able to run out.
For a guy who's rarely at a loss for words and has been coaching for 50 years, Larry Brown simply described this win over Cincinnati as "unbelievable" during his own press address after the game.
But such simply appears increasingly par for course of this year's Mustangs, which will have to regroup and get ready for UCF's best shot on Sunday at 3 p.m. at Moody Coliseum.
