Top writers and artists -- in the camera's eye; The Writer's Image, by Jill Krementz. Boston: David R. Godine. $25.; Artists: Portraits From Four Decades, by Arnold Newman. Boston: New York Graphic Society. $49.95.
By Alexandra Johnson Alexandra Johnson is a free-lance writer.
These two books eloquently contradict Shakespeare's observation that "there's no art to find the mind's construction in the face." Not only have the two photographers here perfected a method, the descriptive portrait, but in the process they've achieved an art form.
Nothing, it would seem, would be more challenging than trying to photograph a writer. One can't imagine a more elaborate exercise in note-taking; a one-upmanship of perception by both sides. Uncomfortable that his role has been usurped, that he must bem observed rather than observe, the writer conjures yet another literary conceit. His face becomes a blurb written by someone else. It's only point of fascination is how he imagines himself being seen.
"The Writer's Image," a collection of over a hundred portraits of famous writers, is the exception to prove the rule. Photojournalist Jill Krementz, herself the author of several books, has succeeded in the most difficult of tasks: She has found the face behind the one most comfortable when creating or temporarily wearing others.
"The Writer's Image" is a literary record, highly personal in feel, of great warmth and candor. It never intrudes or probes unnecessarily. Rather, each portrait is, in Miss Krementz's words, "a collaboration," a visual trust between two creative people. The result is a series of images of rare exuberance, wit, and intelligence.
An outer as well as an inner vitality animates these portraits. There's a jump-roping John Updike, a Zorba-dancing William Saroyan, a toe-tapping Truman Capote. Not only has Miss Krementz caught her subjects in daily life; her portraits mirror deeper qualities of that life. There's Bruno Bettelheim and his wife locked in loving, childlike embrace. It is a joyous comment on his own work. There's the train-bound Paul Theroux, the cultural outsider, the willing exile.
These portraits are also explicit comments or descriptions of a writer's style. A photo of E. B. White in his Maine study, for example, is elegantly austere. Like White's prose, it's characterized by a stunning simplicity. Similarly, a series of portraits of Miss Krementz's husband, Kurt Vonnegut, are both comic and contemplative just like his novels.
"The Writer's Image" is a small miracle in an age blighted by photographic prurience, of People magazine, of gossip for illiterates. This is a book of balanced respect and quiet dignity. A kind of visual parallel text to each writer's work and life. After you buy their books, buy this one.
Arnold Newman's portraits of painters and sculptors are markedly different in feel from Miss Krementz's literary ones. They are portraits of great formal elegance; chilly icons of creativity. One stands back and studies them much as one might contemplate a painting by his subjects.
A visual compendium spanning four decades of portraiture, "Artists" reminds us what Newman does so well. He instinctively finds the setting or angle that suggests his subject's works and then places the subject himself within the setting. Sculptor Alexander Calder, for example, sits under his own mobile so his head becomes a part of it.
"Artists" not only offers us almost practically every great art figure of the past 40 years, it also offers a striking glimpse of Newman's talent. One cannot contemplate the first without being made aware of the second.

A pall, or mortcloth, is a cloth which covers a coffin at funerals and for many years the sign of the Pall Tavern (marked 'A' on the 1886 map below left) was based on an elaborate pall owned by the Woborn Almshouse that was hired out for such occasions (the Pall's mortcloth sign is illustrated at left). The Pall Tavern, properly, should be pronounced The 'Paul' Tavern.
In fact the original Woborn Almshouse, founded in 1477, was sited just behind the property that was to become the inn, the site is occupied now by an Indian restaurant.
The Pall Tavern in Silver Street (as well as the Three Choughs Hotel and the George Inn) was for centuries owned by the Woborn Almshouse and the rent of the building provided income for the Almshouse. The medieval almshouse had become so ruinous by the 1850's that the new Woborn Almshouse was built in 1860 at its present site on the junction of South Street and Bond Street. It is not really clear when the Pall Tavern first opened its doors - the current building only dates from 1836, but its predecessor had been trading for many generations.
The first record in which the Pall is mentioned as an inn as opposed to a private dwelling, is in a lease dated 1769 - see Documentation below - in which it was claimed to be 'in very ruinous condition'. In 1796, the Woborn Almshouse account book lists Mrs Kitson as paying 16/- rent for the George in Middle Street, another Almshouse property, while she was already renting the Pall. In 1837 a day coach, called the Victoria, left the Pall Tavern three times a week for Salisbury - a journey that took seven hours.
Silver Street at that time was a dirty, dingy and very narrow street with small lean-to cottages built against the churchyard walls opposite and the Pall Tavern itself was several feet closer to the road. At this time there was no sewage system in Yeovil and it is recorded that five-feet deep open ditches, euphemistically called 'sewers', ran alongside most streets, including an open drain that ran from the Pall Tavern to the town gasworks.
This open sewer was still extant in 1849 when a Government report commented that Yeovil was "a very filthy, a very dirty and a very stinking place". Also just outside the Pall Tavern, where Silver Street and Market Street met, was a pond called the Horse Pool where the town's ducking stool had been sited. The Horse Pool was fed by a small stream called the Rackle - hence Rackleford or Reckleford, the ford across the Rackle. In fact Market Street, in a document dated 1355, is referred to as Ford Street although by the time Pall Tavern was operating Market Street was called Reckleford (and colloquially known as Rotten Row), while the modern Reckleford was known as Reckleford Hill and Lower Reckleford. Confusing enough? The Horse Pool was finally covered in during the early 1850's - see Documentation below.
The Kings Arms Inn, four doors away, had also stood for many years in Silver Street but a major fire in 1835 destroyed it along with several other premises. Following the fire all the premises from the Kings Arms to and including the Pall (shown in the photograph below) were rebuilt further back from the road so that Silver Street could be widened thereby easing congestion in the centre of the town. Looking at the photograph below it makes you wonder how narrow Silver Street must have been before 1835, bearing in mind that at that until about 1816 there were also small houses built up against the church boundary wall at right, seen just beyond the cars at right in the photo below. The Pall was rebuilt in 1836 and the old materials were sold off for £22.10s.
At left is an undated but probably late Victorian public house 'check' or trade token issued at the Pall Hotel. It is made of brass, is 25mm in diameter and has a milled edge. The reverse is plain but on the obverse it says "PALL HOTEL, YEOVIL" and its value - 2D. At this time two old pence could buy you a pint of stout. Checks were frequently used in games, such as skittles or quoits where, for instance, players would 'chip in' a check to the 'kitty' which would be won by the winning team to redeem at the bar. By issuing checks a landlord could guarantee they would be spent in his establishment only.
It is interesting to note that, in its advertising, the Pall offered good stabling, with horses and traps let for hire. In 1879 Thomas Luxton was advertising "A Commodious Tent with all Appliances to be Let on Hire" and by 1899 the Pall was boasting a 'good bowling alley'.
The Ministry of Town & Country Planning's Provisional List of Buildings of Architectural or Historic Interest of July 1948 described the building and its neighbours thus - "Silver Street bounds churchyard on east side. Houses on one side only, facing church. The houses themselves are mostly 18th or early 19th century in date. They are not of great merit individually but they retain their Georgian scale and form part of the pleasant surroundings of St John's church. They are therefore of value in a largely modern town. Grade III. No 15 (Pall Hotel) - Three-storey three-window painted brick front. Tablet on corner is inscribed 'Rebuilt 1836'. Sash windows. Simple late Georgian door case with wire guard above cornice to take flower-box. Wrought-iron bracket carrying sign projects from angle of house."
The following description is taken from the Somerset Historic Environment Record - "Inn, rebuilt in 1856 (sic), possibly using some earlier material. Brick, colourwashed, with double Roman clay tile roof 3-storeys in a plain Georgian style of 3-wide bays. Central 6-panel entrance door with simple stone surround and flat hood, 16-pane sash windows on either side in plain openings with flat gauged brick arches over: three 16-pane windows to first floor, three 12 pane-windows to second floor: all windows fitted with modern false shutters. Plain verges to gables, brick stacks each end. To north (Market Street) side a modern 3-storey extension of middle C20. Interior much altered at ground floor level, remainder not inspected. Inn sign on North West corner wrought iron bracket of interest. Attached to rear the stables, probably also an 1856 rebuild. Large 2-storey brick building, colourwashed on front with double Roman clay tiles, the North gable having a coping, there being a brick stack at the opposite end. Originally 6-bays (only 4 now visible). 16-pane sash windows to both floors, except bay 2 ground floor which has large chamfered brick arch with modern infill: above is a 15-pane glazed door. The sundry links and extensions of little interest. Interior not inspected."

Thanks to Mike Hine for the following memories - "The Pall was, in the early 1960s pre-Berni, a 'squaddie pub'. I don't know who was stationed at Houndstone camp but a large number seemed to be Scots. It was also thought to be a 'brothel'." (His words, not mine - the only Yeovil brothel I know of (from paper research, not practical research, you understand) was run by Ellen Sheppard at 16 South Western Terrace - she later ran the Fleur-de-Lys in High Street, see which for further details).
And from me - "Hands up those of you who remember the Pall as the Berni Inn in the 1970's and early 1980's with its three restaurants and five bars. Those were the days - we used to eat here with great regularity. Check out the ad at the very bottom of the page. Still one of the few Yeovil pubs selling decent ales and always features in our regular Gentlemen's Cultural Walking Refreshment Tours of Yeovil (i.e. crawls)".
Of the licensees of the 'modern' era George Harris who was licensee in 1839 and 1840 couldn't be traced because there was more than one man of that name in Yeovil at the time although he may have been the George Harris who lived in Belmont Street in 1841 and was father of John Harris who ran a beerhouse there.
Thomas Lukins was born in Allowenshay, about 12 miles west of Yeovil, around 1793. He was first listed as the licensee of the Pall in the Land Tax Returns of 1828 (and possibly in the Quarter Sessions Deposits of the previous year). He was listed as a landowner in Silver Street in the Poll Books of 1832, 1833 and again in 1846. He is listed as a Silver Street innkeeper (although the pub is not named) in the 1841 census, at which time he was aged 50 and living with his wife, Susan. In the 1851 census he and Susan were still at the Pall where his occupation was given as innkeeper (while another Thomas Lukings was licensee at the Hollands Inn). Lukins was landlord of the Pall for some twenty years until 29 September 1839. In 1841 Edmund Henning, brewer of Hendford, took the inn over (at £50 per annum payable to the Trustees of the Woborn Almshouse) and placed Lukins in the Pall to sell beer for him on commission. In 1847 Thomas Lukins was declared bankrupt.
Thomas died in 1855, aged about 62 and Susan assumed the license of the Pall briefly. She was listed as Mrs Lukins in Harrison, Harrod & Co's trade directory of 1859 but she died in the spring of 1859 aged about 71.
Yeovil-born Sophia Allen appeared briefly as the licensee of the Pall Inn in the 1861 census in which she was listed as the innkeeper. At this time she was aged 29 and although listed as married her husband was absent on the night of the census but her two children, one-year old Kate and baby Robert were listed as was her sister-in-law, Lucy, and three servants. I couldn't trace her after this date.
Francis William Harrold was born in Castle Cary on 7 October 1836 the son of publican Francis William Harrold senior and his wife, Charlotte. In the 1841 census Francis was living with his parents and siblings in a Castle Cary pub but during the next ten years his father died and in the 1851 census his mother was running the pub. At this time Francis was 14. Francis married Eliza Taylor on 19 May 1868 and by the time of the 1871 census he and Eliza had moved to Yeovil where the census listed him as the hotel keeper of the Pall Hotel. Living with them was 6-month old baby son, Francis, a barmaid, waitress, housemaid and an ostler. By 1875 the family had moved on from the Pall Hotel and by 1881 they were back in Castle Cary, living in the High Street Post Office where Francis, employed as an auctionéer and postmaster, was with Eliza, Francis junior and three young daughters.
Thomas Luxton was born around 1830 in Cullompton, Devon. In 1871 he was licensee of the village pub in Aylesbeare, Devon but by 1875 had moved to Yeovil and was listed in the Post Office Directory as licensee of the Pall Hotel. In 1881 he was listed as the licensee at the King's Arms (3) with his wife, Anne, and son Thomas who was listed as an innkeeper's assistant. There are no further records of the Luxtons after 1882.
The next licensee, Robert Leach, was born in Yeovil in June 1847 the son of pastry cook Henry Leach and his wife, Louisa. In 1851 the family lived in Belmont, next door to the Britannia Inn. He married Ellen in 1873 but he turned out to be one of those roving publicans who seems to move from pub to pub - he was licensee of the George Inn in Middle Street in 1878, licensee of the Pall Tavern with his wife, Ellen, in 1881 and licensee of the Half Moon by 1889. In January 1885 the Western Gazette, in reporting the proceedings of the Petty Sessions noted that he was fined 15 shillings including costs for a breach of the Licensing Act by selling ale out of hours. Ellen died in December 1892 and Robert married his second wife, Sarah, during the mid 1890's. However Robert died in the spring of 1897 and Sarah became licensee of the Half Moon where she was to remain until her death, at the age of 64, twenty five years later in the winter of 1922.
Robert Allen was born about 1824 in Sherborne, Dorset, the son of painter Richard Allen and his wife, Sarah. In the 1841 census 15-year old Robert's occupation was given as a painter's apprentice and ten years later, still living at home with his parents and eleven siblings, he was listed as a painter. By the time of the 1861 census Robert had married Matilda Catherine Buller, had a son, Robert junior, had moved to Yeovil and had become licensee of the Greyhound where the census listed him as a victualler with Matilda, their son and her mother living on the premises along with three servants (a house servant, an ostler and a nurse maid) and two lodgers. In the 1871 census the only differences were three additional children and only one servant and Robert's occupation was listed as innkeeper. By 1881 Robert and his family had moved around the corner and were living in Union Street. Robert's occupation was now the manager of a soda water manufactory, and still was ten years later. (The Mineral & Soda Water Works were located in Union Street, opposite what used to be the front entrance to the police station) although in 1889 he was listed in Kelly's Directory as the licensee of the Pall Hotel. Robert died in September 1900.
Edwin Mold was born about 1844 at Fisherton, near Salisbury, Wiltshire, the son of a journeyman sawyer, Thomas Mould, and his wife Elizabeth. In the 1851 census Edwin was living in Back Lane, Fisherton with his parents and seven siblings but by 1871 Edwin was employed as a porter in the City Hotel, Bristol, where he was one of 29 live-in employees! By 1881 he had married and was living in Wellington Street, Yeovil with his wife, Eliza, two sons and a daughter. He was employed as a hotel boots. In the 1891 census Edwin was listed as a publican at the Pall Hotel and advertised himself in Whitby's Yeovil Almanack Advertiser of 1901 as Advertised himself "late Boots of the Choughs Hotel". He and Eliza lived in the Pall with four of their children. Edwin was listed as the licensee of the Pall in Kelly's 1895 Directory and in the same year the Western Gazette Almanac listed HW Pearce as the proprietor of the Pall Hotel and the following year Whitby's listed Charles Stott as proprietor. Edwin died in 1895 (possibly in Honiton, Devon) and Eliza was listed as licensee of the Pall Hotel from 1897 until 1903. She died in 1929 aged about 85.
Ellen Davies was born about 1854 in Yeovil and was listed in the 1907 Yeovil Directory as the new licensee of the Pall Hotel. In the 1911 census she was a 57-year old widow and had had nine children, three of whom had died. She had been married at least twice because living with her at the Pall were her two unmarried sons, Charles aged 36 and William aged 34, who both had the surname Powell and were both born in Monmouthshire, Wales. Her two daughters, Gwen aged 22 and Elizabeth aged 21, were also born in Monmouthshire. Both daughter were unmarried and both had the surname Davies, indicating they were from Ellen's second marriage. Ellen was frequently listed in various trade directories up until 1919 after which Elizabeth assumed the license of the Pall until at least 1939. Ellen died in Yeovil in December 1927 aged about 73.
E Watt's map of Yeovil of 1806 showing the junction of Sheep Lane / Court Ash / Reckleford / Silver Street (today's North Lane / Court Ash / Market Street / Silver Street). At centre, is the original Pall Tavern (before it was rebuilt in 1836) with a narrow alley running alongside leading to the original Woborn Almshouse that also faces Miller's Well at its northern end.
One of the four Charity Boards on the wall of St John's bell tower. Listing all the lands the Woborn Almshouse owned in 1804, including the "Pall Inn leased to Mr Donn".
At high level on the corner of the Pall building this partly painted-out notice gives the date of the rebuild. Obviously no photographs exist of the first Pall building seen in the 1806 map above.
The report on the insolvency of Thomas Lukins and the involvement of Edmund Henning in the running of the Pall, from the 28 July 1847 edition of the Taunton Courier.
A sepia-toned photograph dating to 1905 looking along Market Street towards the Pall Inn, to the left of the streetlight, dominated by the tower of St John's church.
The Silver Street elevation of the Pall in a photograph taken in the early 1930s.
The Pall's yard, again in a photograph taken in the early 1930s. The side wall of the Pall itself is at extreme right with 'Beecham' written on it at high level. The main building of this photograph is now an Indian restaurant.
The Pall Hotel seen from the north and photographed during the 1950's. Note that the end wall is plain and lacks the three-storey fire escape extension as seen in the last photograph here.
So, there's the Pall Tavern and the run of shops up to the King's Arms (the last white building) in this photograph from the 1960's. Now imagine the whole lot moved some six feet or more into the road while opposite, where the cars are, is a row of small houses - you've now got some idea of how narrow Silver Street was in the 1830's. What's more, the photographer would probably have been knee deep in the Rackle stream.
In an aerial photograph of 1988 dominated by St John's church at the top and new Quedam Centre shops at left, the Pall Inn is towards the lower right with the bus passing it. Also visible is the rear of the Kings Arms 3, just to lower right of the three white cars by the church.
The Pall Tavern photographed in 1989.

The Pall Tavern, photographed in 2005.
The Pall Tavern in 2012 - still selling decent ale with three pumps on. The site of the Horse Pool was to the side of the Pall, where the small wall at the very left of the photograph now stands.
1836 - Rebuilt, old material sold for £22.10s.
Note - much of the early documentation concerns the building that was later to become the Pall Tavern, the Horse Pool, a building called the Dye House and the Woborn Almshouse - all seen in the sketch map at top of this page. The Horse Pool was to the immediate north of the Pall Tavern, the Dye House was immediately behind the Pall Tavern and the Woborn Almshouse was attached to the north of the Dye House and to the immediate east of the Horse Pool.
22 June 1835 - It was resolved that the Town Commissioners shall be allowed to throw into the Street a part of the front of The Pall Inn described in a Plan prescribed this day by Mr Joel Hardy measuring 34ft 10insin length from North to South & 2 feet in width at the Southern and not less than one foot nor more than fifteen inches at the Northern extremity thereof. And that the Master of the Almshouse shall be allowed to take into the new Building about to be erected at the Pall Inn such part of the Horse Pond as they may require for bringing the said new Building square and that The Town Commissioners shall pay to the Master of the Almshouse for such land as they may take over & above what they may give at the rate of 1s. for each foot superficial measure this arrangement being considered mutually beneficial to each Trust and particularly to the Almshouse.
N.B. - Rebuilding of Pall Inn - Ham Hill and Keinton stone used - Builder, Harvey. Skylight for Mr Duffett's. - Total cost about £1,000 including redecoration and pump.
3 May 1836 - It appearing to the Commissioners that the ancient watering place in Rackleford adjoining the Pall Inn commonly called the Horse Pond is unnecessary and that same is an annoyance to the Inhabitants of that neighbourhood, and that it would be a material improvement to the Town if such Pond were done away with - It is ordered that the same be drained and filled up - And that in lieu thereof a sufficient tank or reservoir be made for supplying water in case of fire - And also a trough for watering horses with a lip or spout of sufficient height to allow the placing of a bucket or other vessel underneath, or a pump, or both, as hereafter may be thought most advisable for furnishing the Inhabitants with Water.
Victoria day coach three times a week from Pall Inn to Salisbury - a seven hour journey.
An ad from the 1970 Yeovil Official Guide Book. Aaaah... who remembers the Pall when it was a Berni Inn? with three restaurants and five bars - those were the days, we used to eat here very frequently.

Boeing to upgrade RSAF's F-15C/D fighter jets
Boeing has been awarded a $3.7bn contract for the upgrade of the Royal Saudi Air Force's (RSAF) fleet of 70 Boeing-built F-15C/D Eagle aircraft to the latest Saudi Advanced (SA) configuration. .
Boeing has been awarded a $3.7bn contract for the upgrade of the Royal Saudi Air Force's (RSAF) fleet of 70 Boeing-built F-15C/D Eagle aircraft to the latest Saudi Advanced (SA) configuration.
Awarded by the Georgia Air Force Base, the contract forms part of a potential $29.4bn foreign military sales (FMS) programme deal approved by the US Congress in December 2011, involving the sale of 84 new F-15 fighter jets, along with support services to the RSAF.
Boeing will develop and supply conversion kits to upgrade 70 jets, perform testing and evaluation of converted aircraft and provide familiarisation training for RSAF aircrew.
Boeing will also supply spare parts and equipment to support the 154 new or converted aircraft at four Saudi bases.
F-15 FMS branch deputy security assistant programme manager Lieutenant Colonel Jay Schatz said: "The team has overcome obstacles on a short timeline, doing enormous resource planning with industry and the RSAF. It is a programme with international scope and national importance."
The F-15SA variant will feature an APG-63(v)3 active electronically scanned array radar, BAE Systems' digital electronic warfare system, and a Lockheed Martin-built AAS-42 infrared search-and-track system, also called as TigerEye.
The aircraft is expected to provide RSAF personnel with an all-weather, multi-role fighter with the ability to conduct long-range, high-speed interdiction missions, without relying on escort or electronic warfare aircraft.
Powered by two Pratt & Whitney F100 engines, the F-15 Eagle is an all-weather tactical fighter aircraft designed to gain and maintain air superiority in aerial combat missions.
In addition to the RSAF, the aircraft is also used by the US, Japan and Israeli air forces.

Eat, Love, and Help Others! Yippee!
Each pie purchased will help Project Angel Heart prepare and deliver four nutritious,medically-tailored meals to neighbors living with cancer, kidney failure, HIV/AIDS, lung disease, MS and other life-threatening illnesses. These meals are FREE OF CHARGE! Each week, more than 1,100 men, women and children receive meals that are not only tasty, but designed to meet their nutritional needs... a true life-saver for those who need nourishment, but are too ill to shop or prepare meals for themselves.
2012 was the first year that I sold pies. My husband, Bruce, had just passed away after battling stage 4 colon cancer for 6 years. I was able to provide nutritious meals for him and I believe that that enabled him to have such a good quality of life for so long. This is why what Project Angel Heart does is so close to my heart.
By the way, in 2012, I was the Top Pie Seller that year. As the Top Pie Seller, I won a $250 gift card which I donated back to Project Angel Heart so that they could provide more meals!!!
Thank you for your support and have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday!


When it comes to social media networks, there is pretty much no one who will argue that Facebook is the largest one out there. But of course, everyone and their mothers have a Facebook account. Judging by how popular this behemoth of a social network is, there are even users who would equate their internet usage to opening and checking their Facebook account. It is clear that Facebook is pretty much unstoppable at this point, and things are only bound get better for Zuckerberg and Co. The social network has been floating around 900 million+ active users for quite some time now, and it is only a matter of time before it breaks the billion mark. As it turned out, that time is now.
The news came from Facebook CEO himself, Mark Zuckerberg, as he delivered his own personal message in which he acknowledged the fact that more than one billions users have been actively using Facebook each. As Zuckerberg writes, "This morning, there are more than one billion people using Facebook actively each month." Perhaps the most interesting about this landmark achievement is the fact that out of the one billions total users, about three fifths or roughly 600 million of them are mobile users. This is a testament at just how advanced our mobile gadgetries have evolved over the years and just how reliant we have become on these portable devices.
This is of course a feat which is never been achieved before, so what is it like to have one billion active users? If you are a sort of a number or just like stats in general, it's quite sure that you are interest as to how Facebook is doing as of this moment. According to Facebook, their giant servers have been storing a total of 1.13 trillion Likes since it was launched back in 2004. The number of people who was connected by Facebook is now 140.3 billion, 219 billion photos have been uploaded, 17 billion geo-tagged photos which include check-ins, 62.6 million songs have been hosted and have been played a total of 22 billion times.

Dr. Paul Lowe – Admissions Expert
Private School, College, BS/MD Program, Graduate and Medical School – Admissions Advisor & Educational Consultant
Heads Up! The College Admissions Process is Shifting Focus
June 18, 2018 June 22, 2018 ~ drpaulloweadmissionsexpert
Recently, we've been receiving many calls from very anxious parents about milestone changes in college admissions policies. Several top colleges have acknowledged changes, including Carnegie Mellon and University of Chicago that will affect rising seniors (Class of 2023)
The University of Chicago dropped an admissions requirement for students to submit either the SAT or ACT test scores becoming SAT/ACT optional. James G. Nondorf, Dof admissions and vice president of enrollment and student advancement stated, "We want to remove any policy or program that we have that advantages one group over the other".
Carnegie Mellon University eliminated so-called "demonstrated interest". CMU prominently states, "The mission of Carnegie Mellon University includes the cultivation of a diverse community" It further states: "…Our undergraduate admission process is shifting to focus more on diversity and inclusion of all populations by reducing or eliminating advantages that have been inherent in certain aspects of the admission process. The goal is to provide a more equitable, level playing field where all segments of our applicant population have the same opportunity in the admission process. We're eliminating demonstrated interest as a consideration in our admission paradigm. See Carnegie Mellon University's Statement.
What does this mean for applicants?:
The college admissions landscape is changing.
Colleges admissions officers are considering diversity in admissions – they want a diverse incoming class
Top Colleges Enhance Efforts To Enroll Low-Income Students
What this really means is that top colleges are shifting more to a holistic admissions process, are becoming more inclusive and recognizing that each accepted student brings unique qualities to the university setting. The college admissions process is shifting more toward evaluating a student's character (College Admissions: How will Character be Assessed) and what they can meaningfully contribute to university community. They are spending more time reviewing students under a microscope and appreciating the fact that some applicants are disadvantaged during the application process. As a result the admissions process to the Ivies and highly selective schools is becoming hrpercompetitive and and more non-formulaic!

The Red Cross & Mary Barneby

Mary Barneby finds herself among very notable women, Juliette, and Clara. The Girl Scouts and the American Red Cross share some history. Both are over 100 years old, and both were started by women. Clara Barton was 60 when she founded the American Red Cross in 1881. Juliette Gordon Low was 52 when she founded the Girl Scouts of the United States of America in 1912. And back then, that was considered quite old. Did I mention…Mary is the Regional CEO of the American Red Cross, a journey she started in the mist of the pandemic, September 2020. For eight years prior to joining the Red Cross, Mary had been CEO for the Girl Scouts of Connecticut.
Our conversation covers so many areas – from disasters to mental health and healing, to helping find those who are missing. During the pandemic, it helped many stay up-to-date in their career by volunteering in a variety of different areas.
So you think it's just about the Mint Chocolate Cookies?
Honor, perseverance, intelligence, inspirational and those are just the words that come off of the top of my head.


At BeA Alfresco Wedding we have several ideas for you to use on your wedding shoes which will amuse your guests when you kneel down in church – we know it's a serious occasion, but it's fun to do something to give everyone a small and unexpected giggle! Just don't do what a friend of mine did and leave the price tag on your new wedding shoes – that did make everyone laugh, but he didn't know why we were all giggling until later!
Of course, you should make sure when using a permanent ink marker that the 'inscription' is totally dry before either the bride or groom steps into their shoes and walks down the aisle on a white or light colored carpet.
Either the bride or groom can write a romantic note on the soles of their wedding shoes; something that both of them can relate to – the date they met or their wedding date.
The bridegroom can also have humorous wedding shoe decals or writing on his wedding shoes (be sure to remember to remove the price tag). He can have "He" on his left foot and "lp" on his right; or "Help" on his left and "Me" on the right. We think the choice for the groom's shoes is even larger than that for the bride's, as the groomsmen and bridesmaids can come up with their own sayings – and I'm sure they will have plenty of ideas for him!
You can purchase ready-made decals online from several sites; you can order the couple's initials set with crystals to decorate the heels of the bride's shoes, and also stick-on messages for the groom's shoes.
This is a fun idea, and has been adopted by many of the couples who chose BeA Alfresco Wedding for their wedding in Italy – and is only limited by the imagination of the bride and groom, or the wedding party.
We hope you like our suggestion for an amusing little 'extra' for your wedding!

Much of my coaching involves supporting my clients in developing and expanding their leadership, management, coaching, and relationship skills. Mastering these skills helps them produce far greater results with and through others.
One consideration is the time it actually takes to reach their goals.
Today's quote points to the speed and efficiency of leading oneself to a better future, managing our own efforts and resources, and adjusting our course for optimal results. Regarding relationship skills, rarely do we ever disagree with our own thinking!
Where and on what personal or professional priority is it appropriate to use your "committee of one" to get something done?
There sure is a lot of finger pointing going on these days! Pick almost any hot topic in the news and you will see people on all sides taking dead aim at one another.
Blaming others, finding fault, and making others wrong seems wired into us in spite of the fact that we are all highly aware of its consequences.
Knowing that three fingers are always pointing back at us when we point at others, how can you take far more responsibility, accountability, and ownership regarding the events in every aspect of your life?
Not Important, and Not Urgent.
Virtually everyone would agree that item #1 – Important and Urgent – would be given the highest priority, and item #2 – Not Important and Not Urgent – would be the lowest. The challenge for most people is sorting through the amount of time we devote – or should I say "lose" – by inadvertently slipping into more #3 – Not Important, but Urgent – than #4 – Important, but Not Urgent.
Where would the habit of greater discipline concerning the important matters in your life pay you the highest returns, personally or professionally?
Consider selecting a friend, family member, mentor, or coach to work with in this area as soon as possible.
One of the greatest tools in a coach's toolbox is the question. Answers to open-ended questions—those that begin with who, what, where, when, why and how—provide a level of depth and significance from well below the surface, often into new territories of awareness and insight.
I disagree with Henri Arnold's statement that fools ask such questions of others: after all, I'd be calling all coaches fools! I do however believe that when coaches also ask these same questions of themselves, they often enhance their own development considerably. Arnold might say that a coach without their own internal or external coach is a fool.
Pay attention to the types of questions you and your colleagues, friends, and family members ask one another during the day. Which ones enhance your life journey, and propel you toward wisdom?

Just a short walk up to Stillwell, out towards the ruins then back into the village. Nice weather (albeit some smoke haze) and not too many marchies!

"Weekend Getaway" from all your Sydney/Canberra neighbours...not!
We just did a short walk out to the old chair ruins. 10kms return. Walked from the village base so no parking issues here. Then down to Alpine Eyre for a latish lunch. A few folks but nothing silly. They were all heading to Kosi or Blue Lake.

They had the chair running at Charlotte's?
By the look of all those cars it was probably a good idea, wow that's a lot of cars. I bet Thredbo was full too. Mt Kosi must of been very crowded.
Lots of people down the south coast too, good weather always helps.
Not a lot of folks using it. Some friends of mine caught it back down the hill for 5 bucks. Limited hours from around 10:00 am till 2:00 pm. But nice to see it operating.

Cross a small cobblestone bridge over Rantzauer Lake into an idyllic world where time seems to stand still.
Schlossinsel im Rantzauer See
Die Schlossinsel im Rantzauer See
Rantzau 15
25355 Barmstedt
tourismus[at]stadt-barmstedt.de
http://www.barmstedt-und-umland.de
On Rantzau's Castle Island, visitors can discover an ensemble of historical monuments unlike any other in Schleswig-Holstein. The former court clerk's office is now home to artist Karin Weissenbacher's studio, with crafts for sale in the small shed. The castle itself is now a mansion, which is still inhabited, while the "Royal District Court" has been turned into the Rantzau County Museum. Guests can enjoy a peaceful coffee-and-cake break in the former castle prison. On the opposite bank, water splashes through the watermill just as it did nearly 500 years ago. The watermill is also the site of a pottery workshop. If you rent a rowboat, you can also discover this idyllic setting from the water – or explore the trail that circles the banks of the small Rantzauer Lake.
Fun fit for royalty: The Barmstedt Castle prison café serves visitors high tea in its former prison cells: served at 5 PM, the tea is accompanied by scones, sandwiches, pralines, petit fours, and other treats. The thieves and sinners are long gone; today the renovated castle prison on Rantzauer Lake's Castle Island is a cosy café that serves homemade cakes and waffles, savoury snacks, Sunday brunch, and hearty prison meals, in addition to high tea. In the spring and summer, a terrace shaded by old ship sails offers an enchanting view of the lake and the watermill. On the top floor, a small gallery holds temporary exhibitions. There also lectures and other cultural events on the island.

ASA has ruled that Foxy Games ad was 'irresponsible'
Leave a Comment	/ Make Money Online / By mattm
A recent Foxy Games ad has been deemed 'irresponsible' by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA). This Google search ad received complaints back in July 2020, challenging whether it was responsible in the way that it had been worded.
The Foxy Games Ad
The ASA concerns originally arose from complaints received regarding a paid Google search ad. This ad stated: 'Earn Money Online – Foxy Games – Play Online'. The ad was displayed on Google search results when the keyword 'make money online' was entered.
Those behind the complaint suggested that the ad would lead players to believe that they could achieve financial security and make money by playing these games. However, this is not something that is accepted under ASA guidelines.
In response to the complaint, Foxy Games said that the ad was a "result of human error". They stated that they had removed it but this wasn't quick enough.
ASA Decision – 'Irresponsible'
After an investigation, the ASA has deemed the ad "irresponsible". They stated: "The CAP Code stated that advertisers must not suggest that gambling can be a solution to financial concerns, an alternative to employment or a way to achieve financial security. We considered the claim 'Earn Money Online' suggested to consumers that the gambling system offered by the advertiser could be used to 'earn' money and therefore attain a regular source of income."
Despite acknowledging that Foxy Games had taken steps to address where their ads were served, they concluded that it was socially irresponsible.
This isn't the first time that the ASA has dealt with this kind of complaint and as restrictions continue to tighten, we expect to see more over the coming months.

The last hurdle was getting licensed by the state — something that until recently was banned for people with backgrounds like Joachim's. But a 2016 law changed that, allowing people with forcible felony convictions to become licensed health care workers.
Some banks — including JPMorgan Chase, the nation's largest — hoped the changes would go further, but were pleased to see progress.

Feature Analysis and Download
Using Cortex
Analyzing ML Pipelines
How do I understand how each feature contributed to my pipeline?
When a Machine Learning Pipeline powers high-value initiatives for your business, it's important to understand the internal logic driving its predictions. In this guide, we'll show you how to analyze which features contribute most to your pipeline's decisions.
Cortex provides three tools to help analyze features: Feature Importance, Feature Impact, and Feature Downloads. All three of these can be found in the Pipeline Discoveries area of a Cortex pipeline.
To frame these analyses in real terms, consider a Future Events pipeline which predicts each user's probability of purchasing within the next 14 days. Note however that your Cortex account can be configured to make predictions about any type of object tied to your event data (e.g. commerce items, media content, home listings, etc.).
The features generated by your pipeline are grouped based on the type raw data that each is calculated on. For example, the above screenshot shows three feature groups features for our sample pipeline:
Active Days: features computed based on each user's day-by-day pattern of activity
Event Types: features computed based on the types of events recorded for each user
Categories: features computed on the item categories that each user has interacted with
The feature group Event Types is expanded to show its subgroups, which represent each available type of event. Finally, the Click subgroup is expanded to show the individual click-related features. Hovering over a feature pops open a description of what that feature represents.
Feature Importance
Feature importance allows you to understand which features are most predictive of your pipeline's goal. Feature importance ranges from 0-100, where higher scores are assigned to more predictive features. In terms of our example pipeline above, we can see that features related to each user's Active Days are most important for predicting their probability of purchasing in the future.
Feature importance is calculated based on mutual information, which carries a simple intuition: if all I know about each user is feature X, with what degree of certainty do I know goal Y (e.g. whether each user ended up purchasing within 14 days)? In this way, feature importance is similar to correlation, but also accounts for nonlinear relationships between a feature and your goal.
Feature importance is calculated for each individual feature. The figures reported on the feature group and subgroup levels represent the maximum importance of individual features within.
Feature Impact (Future Events)
Feature impact is a proprietary metric created by Vidora specifically for Future Events pipelines. Feature impact estimates how conversion probability (defined by your pipeline's goal) is expected to change if you were to improve each feature type by one unit.
For example, in the screenshot above a 1.4% feature impact for the Click subgroup indicates that getting an extra click event from each user would boost the probability that they go on to purchase within 14 days by 1.4%, on average. You can also view the result of this calculation specifically for high-propensity users (top 33% by predicted conversion rate), medium-propensity users (middle 33%), or low-propensity users (bottom 33%).
Feature importance is calculated for each subgroup. The figures reported on the feature group level represent the maximum impact of the subgroups within. Note that feature impact may not be available for every subgroup if results are not statistically significant.
You may see features with relatively high importance and low impact, or vice versa. This is because a one-unit change (the basis of feature impact calculations) is more meaningful for some features than others. Take for example a feature group which describes how many pageview events each user records. This feature may be very important for predicting each user's purchase probability, but since this event type occurs frequently, generating one extra pageview on average might have a low impact on future behavior.
Feature Downloads
If you'd like to conduct custom feature analyses beyond those provided off-the-shelf, Cortex also allows you to download all feature data along with the predictions generated by any pipeline. Accessing this data lets you answer questions like –
What do high propensity users (e.g. users with a high predicted probability of purchasing within 14 days) have in common?
Why was this particular user assigned a low prediction?
How do these particular features relate to one another?
To access feature data from your pipeline's latest run, hit the "Generate Features File" link within Pipeline Discoveries. You'll receive an email linking you back to Cortex when the data is ready to be downloaded. Your pipeline's feature data — which often consists of millions of rows and hundreds of columns — will be downloaded in parquet format, where it can be loaded into services such as Amazon Athena or Google BigQuery for query-based analysis.
