Gerry Marsden
born on 24/9/1942 in Liverpool, North West England, United Kingdom
Biography Biography
Gerard "Gerry" Marsden MBE (born 24 September 1942) is an English musician and television personality, best known for being leader of the British band Gerry and the Pacemakers.
Marsden was born at 8 Menzies Street, Toxteth, Liverpool, Lancashire, and his interest in music began at an early age. He remembers standing on top of an air raid shelter singing "Ragtime Cowboy Joe" and getting a great reception from onlookers. He said to himself then, "This is what I want to do".
Gerry and the Pacemakers was the second group signed by Brian Epstein and remained among his favourite artists. Their first single was "How Do You Do It," recommended by George Martin after it was initially given to the Beatles. This was the first number one hit for the Pacemakers. It was recorded at Abbey Road Studios and was released on EMI's Columbia label. Marsden said the recording took four or five takes. The group's second number one was "I Like It", followed by "You'll Never Walk Alone". Other singles included "It's Gonna Be Alright", "I'm the One," "Don't Let the Sun Catch You Crying," and "Ferry Cross the Mersey."
After leaving the Pacemakers his brother Fred Marsden, Les Maguire and Les ChadwickGerry Marsden maintained a low-key career on television, and starred in the West End musical Charlie Girl alongside Derek Nimmo and Anna Neagle.
He is most remembered for the song "I Like It" and his rendition of "You'll Never Walk Alone", which has been adopted as an anthem of several football clubs, the most notable being Liverpool, the club that Marsden supports. He sang the song at Wembley Stadium when Everton faced Liverpool at the 1989 F.A. Cup final shortly after the Hillsborough disaster. Marsden is a vocal Liverpool F.C. supporter but was an Everton F.C. fan until he was 13 years old.
The Pacemakers, albeit with different musicians, still tour today and are a popular oldies draw on the circuit.
Marsden returned to No. 1 in the charts twice during the 1980s with re-recordings of two of his old hits, with all profits going to charity. In 1985 after the Bradford Football Club stadium tragedy in which 56 were killed, he formed a group called "The Crowd", which included other musicians, singers and radio disc jockeys, to produce a new version of "You'll Never Walk Alone." On 18 April, three days after the Hillsborough disaster in which 96 Liverpool F.C. fans ultimately died as a result of their injuries, he joined forces with Paul McCartney, the Christians, Holly Johnson and his production trio Stock, Aitken & Waterman on a new version of "Ferry Cross the Mersey" .[1]
Marsden's favourite recordings are "Ferry Cross the Mersey," "Don't Let The Sun Catch You Crying" and "You'll Never Walk Alone".
In 1993, Marsden published his autobiography, I'll Never Walk Alone, co-written with former Melody Maker editor Ray Coleman.
As of 2013, he still performs a few hundred shows a year to various audiences worldwide, mostly in the UK. During 2013, he will take part in a 50th Anniversary Farewell Tour in Australia, the US and Canada.
The Beatles and ourselves (The Pacemakers) - we let go when we get on-stage. I'm not being detrimental, but in the south, I think the groups have let themselves get a bit too formal. On Merseyside, it's beat, beat, beat all the way. We go on and really have a ball.

Working together to end loneliness
Posted on April 6, 2021 by Uniting Church Western Australia in Features and tagged 2, feature.
While it is true that recent COVID times have led to people feeling more lonely, loneliness was prevalent in our communities even before the pandemic put people around the world into lockdown – or kept us from travelling to see loved ones interstate. It has been reported that loneliness can have similar health effects on the body as smoking up to 15 cigarettes a day. Which is part of the reason UnitingCare Australia have recently joined the Endling Loneliness Together initiative.
Ending Loneliness Together includes a range of community groups and organisations who recognise the huge impact loneliness plays in people's lives across the country, and who are working together on this issue.
Dr Michelle Lim is a clinical psychologist, senior lecturer at Swinbourne University and the Chair of Ending Loneliness Together. She said while there is a connection between social isolation and loneliness, they are two different issues.
"Loneliness is what we would typically say is a subjective construct," she said. "Feeling like you're alone, feeling like you have no friends, that no one has your back, no one understands you.
"As opposed to social isolation where you have fewer people that you know. You might live in a more rural area, perhaps you're less connected to others because you don't have work. There's a degree of social isolation that all of us hold as well.
"They are related in that the fewer people you know increases your vulnerability to feeling lonely, however it can occur independently as well.
"Lots of people who are highly integrated within social institutions very much say they feel lonely – so still feeling subjectively lonely despite being at work, university, with many friends, in vocational training.
"I guess one of the things we are trying to tease out is, how do we augment social care to not just reduce social isolation, but also to reduce loneliness? Because just because you reduce social isolation doesn't automatically mean you reduce loneliness."
Loneliness has no barriers
Often, we only think of elderly people experiencing loneliness, which can be true, but the whole truth is that anyone can experience it any time – though usually during a time of transition or challenge. There are age groups that are more vulnerable to feeling lonely however, including young people aged 18 to 25 and older people aged over 75.
"When you think about those groups, they are faced with more social challenges – for different reasons," Michelle said.
Michelle said for older people, issues such as poor health, physical challenges, or their partner or friends dying can create more feelings of loneliness. Younger people can be challenged by starting their first job, making new friends outside of school or study, developing a sense of social identity or emerging mental illness. Spikes in loneliness can also be found in middle age.
"If there's one thing we can say about loneliness, it's that at some point our vulnerability will increase," Michelle said. "I think it's more about how we manage it, and to ensure that we are always managing it, as opposed to thinking, 'okay I feel lonely, something is weird with me, something is wrong with me'.
"When we have that sort of mentality and stigma, the problem gets worse. You don't seek the right help, you put barriers up for yourself and you're not managing it as well.
"We know from the literature that when you feel lonely, you're more likely to feel depressed. Then in six months down the line you're more likely to feel socially anxious; six months down the line you're more likely to be paranoid.
"So, loneliness actually acts as a feeder to future problems, but yet we tend to keep on ignoring our loneliness.
"Loneliness is a normal feeling to have and if we don't respond to it, it becomes distressing. Our brains process loneliness as a social stressor, and when we are stressed we have poorer health outcomes more generally.
"Loneliness has been associated with poorer cardiovascular health, lower ability to fight off infections, increased incidence of breast cancer in women – a multitude of physical health problems because it's all related to stress.
"The reason why it's so harmful for humans in general is because the way we are built is that we're not meant to feel alone; we're meant to function in groups and to have others to rely on.
"Overall, humans need to feel like we have a meaningful social connection with someone, and that someone has got their back. When we don't feel that way, we are more stressed generally and therefore have poorer health outcomes, albeit physical or mental."
Reducing stigma
At some point in our lives, we will all be touched by loneliness. Despite this, the stigma around it can cause more issues for people experiencing it. To work towards reducing loneliness in our communities, we need to be talking about the issue more so that stigma can be reduced.
"Even when you say the word 'loneliness' now, people don't like to say, 'oh I'm lonely'," Michelle said. "They're reluctant to say that even though it's a normal feeling to have. "Then it becomes a cycle because a lonely person doesn't want to reach out – they're trying to protect themselves from being rejected.
"They send signals to other people suggesting they're not willing to connect, even though they're desperate to connect. And other people then just respond accordingly.
"One of the biggest things that is missing in the Australian context is that we don't have a good community awareness campaign to actually destigmatise loneliness.
"It's always been seen as something that is wrong with the person, and that is something we need to rectify immediately. We need government to invest in a national campaign that can tie into health outcomes."
A place for churches
Claerwen Little, National Director of UnitingCare Australia, said churches have a huge role to play in this space. In fact, the Ending Loneliness Together initiative began out of a Uniting Church congregation friendship group in NSW. However, it's not just the worship community or friendship and social groups which are tackling loneliness – any community service that is building meaningful connections and trust with people who may be socially isolated is helping those affected.
"All our services deal with people who are lonely in one way or another," she said. "For us, the link between the prevalence of loneliness and poverty is a really important factor in being involved.
"In communities where there's a high incidence of poverty and unemployment, we often find many more people who are feeling lonely.
"If you're experiencing homelessness, or if you're a single parent on a single parent benefit, it's really hard to get out to meet other people and engage with other people.
"It's really hard for children whose families are living in poverty to have the same opportunities – the ability to go on excursions, or sporting activities or other extracurricular activities – if they don't have the money to spend.
"There are many people in difficult circumstances who also experience loneliness as a result of compounding factors and complexities in their lives."
There are certainly many Uniting Church WA congregations that are delivering services which help alleviate loneliness – as well as our agencies: Juniper, Good Sammy Enterprises and Uniting WA. This is not to mention the benefits of belonging to a community group – such as a church.
"Our church, through its work and through our congregations does have an incredibly important role to play in addressing loneliness in our community," said Claerwen. "Often churches are the only ones that are able to engage people, either through their services or local networks.
"At the end of the day, as humans we all need to connect with other humans. We need friendship. We need circles of support. We need friends and its often difficult for people who are isolated by other challenges in their lives.
"Some of our emergency relief programs in our community, the community hubs, but also the family centres, they all provide that really strong sense of connection for people."
The Ending Loneliness Together White Paper makes three key recommendations to address loneliness: invest and be informed by Australian-based research; develop and deliver system-wide frameworks; and connect and empower people to take action. Part of that empowerment to take action is to first be informed and understand the issue.
"There's a huge scope but I think one of the things is to get providers to understand how to identify if people are lonely because it can be quite difficult and nuanced and it might not necessarily mean that someone is socially isolated, but they are lonely," Michelle Lim said. "We need to understand and correct those misconceptions before actually taking action. If we don't have the right information, we can sometimes do more harm than good."
Michelle said it is important to keep up-to-date with the latest evidence from trusted sources.
"It's important to equip yourself with that knowledge before proceeding to make a difference, because when you do take action with that knowledge, you'll make a much more sustainable impact as opposed to potentially causing harm without realising."
Claerwen said there is a lot that churches can do to address this issue – firstly by reading the White Paper and joining the coalition.
"It's important that we understand what it means to be lonely and to be able to see the signs of loneliness and then respond. It's about policy responses and the role of government, but it's also about the role of each of us," said Claerwen. "There are some things the congregation can do, and if you have a capacity to do friendship groups or groups for people, reach out to the community."
From a congregation perspective there are many, many ways in which you can address loneliness.
"In our service footprint, we do address loneliness in so many different ways around our service network.
"As a church, people can sign up, educate themselves on what loneliness is and how to identify the factors of loneliness and then find ways to reach out and address it in the community."

Jessica Alba Admitted She Felt "Sort of Like Humpty Dumpty" Being Pregnant
Jessica Alba Feeling Like Humpty Dumpty While Pregnant Quote
23 May, 2018 by Celia Fernandez
Jessica Alba was feeling the pregnancy woes, even though it didn't show one bit when she stepped onto the red carpet for the Baby2Baby Gala in California in a stunning Brock Collection gown. The mother of two flaunted her growing baby bump and spoke candidly about her pregnancy. "I like that I actually feel glamorous," she told People. "I don't feel glamorous at all when I'm pregnant, so it's nice to kind of dress up and feel beautiful. I usually feel sort of like Humpty Dumpty, slothing around and hormonal, and nothing fits the same. But in this dress, I actually feel kind of pretty."
Jessica and her husband, Cash Warren, announced they are welcoming their first son. The pair already has two daughters, Haven Garner and Honor Marie. "It is exciting to add a different vibe to the family, but I don't even know what to expect," she said. "All I have are girl everything in the house." However, this is Jessica's dream come true, as she revealed on The Rachael Ray Show that she was hoping for a boy. "For me . . . the girls love their dad. I wanted someone to love me more," she joked. "When he comes home, they're like, 'Daddy!' It's like a party."

Mankind: The Story of All of Us (Blu-ray)
Posted in: Disc Reviews by J C on December 27th, 2012
"Amidst the chaos of an unforgiving planet, most species will fail. But for one, all the pieces will fall into place and a set of keys will unlock a path for mankind to triumph. This is our story."
The only thing missing from that bit of grandiose narration — which opens each episode of this 12-part series — is a Law & Order-style *chung, chung.* Mankind: The Story of All of Us starts with a bang (as in the "Big" one) and proceeds to give us a lively, surprisingly cinematic history lesson.
In putting together this project — a spiritual big brother to History's America: The Story of Us, which aired in 2010 — the channel sought to bring the story of mankind out of the stuffy classroom and into thrilling life by appealing to modern sensibilities. In other words, this isn't your grandfather's historical documentary. Although it often feels like this series should be airing on Spike TV, the hyper-stylized presentation is actually on-brand with History's current slate, which counts manly titles like Ax Men and Top Shot among its most popular hits.
The three-disc series spans mankind's beginnings in East Africa's Great Rift Valley all the way to the 21st century and the speculation that humans will inevitably set foot on Mars. To chronicle everything that came in between, the producers of this series made a canny storytelling decision: they decided to present mankind's history through the prism of human conflict. As narrator Josh Brolin — a solid, tough-guy choice for such a brawny project — informs us in Ep. 12/"New Frontiers", "as our numbers grow, so does the scale and reach of human conflict."
Basically, this allows director Nick Brown (who helmed most of the episodes) and his team to re-stage some of the most famous battles and disasters in the history of the world. Brown does a pretty good job of aping the directorial stylings of, among others, Zach Snyder and Mel Gibson. (And I'm not just saying that because the Spartans' Battle at Thermopylae, the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and the decline of the Mayan civilization are all dramatized.) The production values are mostly magnificent, especially when you consider this is being done on a basic cable budget.
The series mixes in plenty of science with the action on display to show the evolution of human ingenuity, "a thirst for knowledge and a quest to explore" that makes our species unique on this planet. The constant battles and CGI recreations of historical landmarks are broken up by talking head commentary from celebrities like Dr. Mehmet Oz, chef Anthony Bourdain and NBC anchor Brian Williams, along with a parade of lesser-known (but no less authoritative) historians, professors and scientists. Despite the famous faces, the breakouts were (overly)enthusiastic military experts Mike Loades and Richard "Mack" Machowicz.
After an info dump of an opening episode ("Inventors"), the series settles into a steady rhythm. The story of mankind is told chronologically, which means America doesn't make an extended appearance until Ep. 7 ("New World.") Each episode has five chapters, which you can access through the pop-up menu. My favorite installments included the action-packed and sadly Tony Stark-free Ep. 2/"Iron Men", the impressive cringe-worthiness of Ep. 5/"Plague" (which depicted the massive Bubonic plague), the eye-opening Ep. 8/"Treasure" (I'm a bit embarrassed to admit I didn't know that African royals sold their own prisoners as slaves before the Europeans turned on them) and Ep. 9/"Revolutions" (the most successful mixture of the show's action/science formula, depicting both the American Revolution and the Industrial Revolution in England).
I freely admit I'm no historian, but even I can see a good amount of this material is told in an overly heavy-handed way for dramatic effect. (Fun drinking game: take a shot every time Brolin gravely intones that something "will change the lives of every human being on the planet.") However, the best thing I can say about this show is it entertained me and it made me want to learn more about some of this stuff my own. After all, "the story of mankind is only just beginning."
Mankind: The Story of All of Us is presented in its original aspect ratio of 1.78:1. The 1080p image is arrived at with an AVC MPEG-4 codec at an average of 22 mbps. As I mentioned before, the production values for this series are quite strong. The series juggles a variety of visual styles — several film stocks, digital grain, computer-generated recreations are employed — to differentiate between a plethora of the planet's historical periods. The result is impressive, but it also makes it difficult to judge the image quality because colors and contrast are purposely tweaked. I did spot some aliasing that didn't look entirely intentional.
Since the talking head segments have a consistent look, they serve as a sort of control group. The picture is sharp featuring black levels that are nice and deep. Some of the CGI imagery in the series is stunning, while a few parts look embarrassingly phony. (I'm thinking of man's first flight attempt in Ep. 4/ "Warriors.") One consistent part of this video presentation is the remarkable, razor-sharp detail on the close-ups. (Though I bet you'll wish the picture wasn't so clear during "Plague.")
The DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track explodes into action more than you'd expect from a historical documentary thanks to the high number of battle sequences. The show's pulse-pounding score is the perfect complement to the series and also comes through each of the speakers incredibly well. Couple those two things with Brolin's booming voice, and you've got yourself an adrenalized look at history. However, this full-bodied track has more going for it than simply being loud.
There is great immersion throughout the series, starting with the chiseling of pyramids in the first episode to the whooshing of air as the Little Boy atom bomb cuts through the sky. The only minor downside is that there are no subtitles available, which would've been helpful for nerds like me who want to know how to spell some of the more exotic names and places mentioned by Brolin.
Additional Footage: (31:21) Rather than giving us something we haven't seen, this batch of 10 "scenes" is mostly an expansion of material already included in the main presentation. Then again, more info is never a bad thing. The additional footage is presented in HD and is only available on Discs 1 and 2. Features a Play All option.
Is it really possible to condense the entirety of mankind into a 12-part series of hour-long episodes? Of course not! That's ridiculous!! I'm sure some people will criticize this series for being scattershot (inevitable) and dumbed-down (not entirely unfair). If you're thinking of skipping a semester of history class in favor of watching this, then you're going to be a serious trouble. However, I feel the main function of this series was to be entertaining and get a large number of people interested in our past. And on those counts, I believe it succeeded. (But it's up to you to do your own supplemental research, slacker!)
Though I would've liked to have seen some sort of "Making of" documentary that revealed how the filmmakers were able to put out such an impressive-looking product, Mankind: The Story of All of Us should at least be commended for bringing some history back to History. (Current home of historical programming like Big Shrimpin' and UFO Hunters.)

We are happy to announce two new Junberry78s compilations.
Juneberry 105 contains recordings by such performers as the Cartwright Brothers, Parker and Woolbright, Uncle Am Stuart, Jimmie Johnson, John Hammond, Domino George and other wonderful artists.
Juneberry 106 contains recordings by John Baltzell, Watts and Wilson, Samantha Bumgarner, Eva Davis and many others. We include the entire Gid Tanner and his Skillet-Lickers Columbia catalog. It is interesting to hear how they changed from a group playing old minstrel songs to the wonderful fiddle duets when Lowe Stokes (un-credited) joined them. Riley Puckett's singing is outstanding through all of their records.
As we dig deeper into the archives we come across more acoustic recordings, as well as records that are more worn and have more background noise than we would like. The acoustic recordings have a poorer sound quality than the electric recordings than began later in 1926. However, there is still a great deal of wonderful music to listen to and learn from. We have more issues planned.

Activists in Vienna protest EU support for Israeli apartheid
Source: Electronic Intifada
Short link : https://europalforum.org.uk/en/post/2847
Activists rallied outside the offices of the European Union in Vienna on Friday to protest the 28-nation bloc's support for Israeli apartheid.
"International law, human rights, democracy: These are the basic principles of the European Union," BDS Austria, a group that supports the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement for Palestinian rights, said.
"As citizens of the EU and as BDS activists in solidarity with the Palestinian people, we demand that all institutions and representatives of the EU respect these principles – compromises are unacceptable."
The action, which included participants from Women in Black and Boycott from Within, was streamed live on Facebook.
EU unapologetic for hiring genocide inciter
BDS Austria's statement, and signs carried by protesters, referred explicitly to the hiring of an Israeli who advocates extreme violence and racism against Palestinians as the presenter of an official propaganda video for the EU embassy in Tel Aviv.
As The Electronic Intifada reported earlier this month, the EU embassy hired Israeli "comedian" Avishai Ivri despite his frequent advocacy of genocidal levels of violence against Palestinians.
In posts on Twitter, Ivri has called on Israel to kill "1,000 Arabs" for every Israeli who dies in conflict-related violence and has urged that Israel "wipe out Gaza."
He denies the existence of Palestinians as a people and has urged Israel to expel them so it can become the "sovereign" in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip.
Following The Electronic Intifada's reporting, the EU embassy removed the video from its Facebook page but did not apologize or explicitly condemn Ivri's violent incitement and racism.
BDS Austria notes that Lars Faaborg-Andersen, the EU's ambassador in Tel Aviv, previously downplayed Israeli threats to BDS activists that spurred Amnesty International to express its fears for the "safety and liberty" of Palestinian and other human rights defenders.
The protesters called for "no EU cooperation with Israeli racists" and for an investigation of the decision to hire Ivri.
More BDS
The EU appears to be intensifying its unconditional support for Israel. A high-level official recently pledged EU support for Israel's efforts to silence criticism of its policies, under the guise of fighting anti-Semitism.
EU officials also continue to smear the nonviolent BDS movement with claims that the EU cannot substantiatethat BDS activities have led to a rise in anti-Semitic incidents.
BDS Austria, which has faced persistent censorship efforts by Israel's surrogates, reiterated the need for "political pressure on Israel in form of boycott, divestment and sanctions until it complies with international law and human rights."
"This includes the end of the occupation as well as the right of the refugees to return to their homes and the implementation of full equal basic rights for everyone in Israel and Palestine," the group said.

Ernst Neeb (né le  à  Bischofsheim; mort le  à Mayence) est un historien de l'art et philologue allemand. Son ouvrage principal est le manuel de monuments de Mayence  Verzeichnis der Kunstdenkmäler der Stadt Mainz , (1905) selon la loi concernant les «objets classés monuments historiques de Grand-duché de Hesse » de 1902 par Louis V de Hesse.

Biographie
Ernst Neeb est né comme fils d'un employé des chemins de fer à Bischofsheim. Il a étudié la philologie, histoire et allemand à l'université de Berlin et à l'université de Giessen. Entre 1888 et 1924 Neeb enseigne au niveau secondaire à Mayence. Puis il s'oriente vers une carrière scientifique dans le domaine de l'histoire de l'art. Après 1910 son activité d'historien de l'art commence comme directeur honorifique du "Mainzer Altertumsmuseum" (aujourd'hui Musée du Land (Mayence)), en 1924 il fut directeur professionnel du musée.

En contexte de l'extension de la ville au début du , Neeb a reconnu en 1914 un mur comme vestige d'une scène de théâtre romain, aujourd'hui Théâtre antique de Mayence. Une fouille en 1916 a confirmé sa thèse, mais en raison de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, aucune fouille de grande ampleur n'est menée. Neeb prit sa retraite en 1934, mais continue à travailler sur l'inventaire des monuments à Mayence. En 1936, la ville de Mayence a nommé Ernst Neeb citoyen d'honneur. Une rue de Mainz-Oberstadt a été nommée d'après Neeb, Ernst-Neeb-Strasse.

Q: probability question test This a question i had on my test.
$2\%$ of cats, $65\%$ of dogs and $0.05\%$ of snakes are over $40$ pounds in a town.
A) What is the probability of picking an animal over $40$ pounds from $80$ cats, $15$ dogs and $2000$ snakes.
My thoughts:
i had no idea how to solve this but this is what i did:
each percentage $\times$ each corresponding animal # $(80,15,2000)$ and all that divided by the total number of possible animals.

A: Note that intuitively,
$$
\mathbb{P}[\text{big animal}] = \frac{\text{# big animals}}{\text{# animals}}
  = \frac{0.02 \cdot 80 + 0.65 \cdot 15 + 0.05 \cdot 2000}{80+15+2000}
  = \frac{111.35}{2095} \approx 5.315 \%
$$

A: It looks from your description as if you did the problem correctly.
We assume we choose one of the $2095$ animals, with any of the animals equally likely to be chosen. A perhaps unreasonable assumption, I would prefer to avoid the snakes.
If you pick an animal at random in the above sense, then with probability $\frac{80}{2095}$ it is a cat, with corresponding probabilities for the other kinds of animal.
Given that the animal is a cat, the probability the animal is over $40$ pounds is $0.02$. So the probability you pick a cat and the cat is over $40$ pounds if $\left(\frac{80}{2095}\right)(0.02)$. Do the same for the others and add.

MACU Women's Basketball Upsets NCAA Division I North Texas in Exhibition Play
The Mid-America Christian University women's basketball team pulled off one of the biggest upsets in program history as a late rally propelled the Evangels to a 61-59 victory over the University of North Texas today.
The victory marked MACU's first-ever win over a DI school in any sport.
After trailing the Mean Green by as much as 17 in the third quarter, the Evangels fought their way back in the final minutes of the game.
MACU went ahead for the first time in the game with under three minutes to go. With 3.7 seconds left on the clock, senior forward Alexis Shannon made a huge defensive stop that prevented the potential game-tying shot before time expired and secured the team a place in school history.
"I couldn't be more proud of them," said head coach Hannah Moeller. "They came in with a lot of grit. They weren't just going to roll over."
Moeller said she credits the team's maturing roster for making big plays when they mattered the most.
"Everybody knows, accepts and owns their role," she said. "They hit big shots at big moments. I couldn't be any happier."
MACU will look to carry the momentum into Austin, Texas on Saturday for a 1 p.m. tip as the Evangels look to stay unbeaten at Huston-Tillotson.

On the one hand, Miranda is a story rooted in the world of international espionage. On the other, it is a layered and mysterious journey of discovery, disappointment, and in many ways … triumph. How to honor the mysticism and beauty of the Middle Eastern landscape with its living ancient architecture, and yet also present a visual world that can underline the terrible truth of the contemporary war-stricken world that has decimated so much of Yemen and it's people? The answer was not immediately clear to me. Nevertheless, in the set design I strove for poetic links between textures and colors, shapes and "geographical" composition. The intent was to give the audience a sensory taste of the Yemeni world we generally only see from a great distance through CNN's eyes; and to assemble physical "snapshots" of the daily struggle unfolding in that region the the Middle East. A running theme of the play is memory: as with most memories, only the essentials are preserved—the smells, the tastes, the feel of certain surfaces. Concrete tiles, mosaics, wooden screens, painted plexiglass, and ancient plastered walls make up the textural alphabet: painterly and sculptural layers that ebb and flow much as Miranda does herself. She is in a kind of dance, moving from one scene to the next—from one reality to another—never resting in any location for very long … but always propelling the story forward.
The approach to the costumes for Miranda is straightforward and realistic. Based on research comprised mostly of photo journalism of recent events in Yemen, the clothing reflects authentic and simple silhouettes that one would encounter in the region. Given the characters' various circumstances, and taking care to reflect the nuances of age, job, and socio-economic status, the clothing suggests their biographies. Special attention is taken in the detailing of daily wear and tear from the climate and conditions of each character's lifestyles, as well as the value and meaning of the clothing to the character's self-identity (such as in the silhouettes of Dr. Al-Agbhari and Reed). The clothing also must reflect tiers of meaning: for example, Miranda identifies as a particular role in the community, when her actual objectives are very different from what others perceive.
Miranda is an exciting psychological thriller. It has layers of different worlds varying between the psychological and the real, all of which are a constant game of shifting perspectives around the central character, Miranda. It feels like déjà-vu. The light will build upon this idea of the play: reality versus abstraction. The internal psychological and personal world of Miranda will feel abstract, with the use of color, unnatural angles, and a constant movement of light; whilst the light of Yemen is rooted within a reality of warm and cool white light.
Set in the most explosive part of the world, Miranda is a psychological thriller with several layers of meaning. Although strongly based on Yemeni folk music, the music design of the play reflects the place where the story is set, as well as the depth of the individual characters. Solos and group instrumental numbers, combined with vocal effects combining the Arabic language with pseudo-psalmodic recitation—these are the elements that populate the musical landscape of the play.

7-on-7 Events
Team AIGA Is Southern California's 7-on-7 Champion
MVP Tyrel Thomas
They started the tournament by gathering in unison and performing a fiery Polynesian war chant that resonated throughout Ralph Lewis Sports Park in Fontana. They ended the tournament by yelling the chant one more time – as a way to celebrate their Passing Down So Cal Regional championship.
Team AIGA – coached by Troy Lau and comprising of mostly under the radar players from San Diego, Bellflower and Orange County – cleared the gauntlet and took home the title at Passing Down's kickoff tournament on Saturday, Feb. 13, knocking off red-hot Team Apex 20-0 in the title game.
"It was fun coming out here and playing with my boys. We came out here balling like we're supposed to do," said Tyrel Thomas, who earned Most Valuable Player honors.
Thomas, who said he's naturally a cornerback and stars at state powerhouse St. John Bosco High in Bellflower, helped seal AIGA's championship run in the final minutes on offense. He was called back into the huddle, lined up at the slot (inside) position, then executed a whip route in the back of the end zone for the door-slamming touchdown.
He wasn't the only one making plays for AIGA. In the championship contest, big 6-foot-1, 219-pound linebacker Ezekiel Noa stepped in front of a short throw and rumbled his way for the pick six. The 'backer from Helix High in La Mesa currently holds offers from Colorado and Washington State. At wide receiver, highly-touted Terrell Bynum of Servite High in Anaheim and Stephon Blaylock of Bosco kept AIGA's offensive momentum going throughout the entire tournament by hauling down some crucial grabs, especially ones near the sidelines.
Even though AIGA had impact players from Southern California filling out their roster, Thomas believes that his team was an underdog heading into the tournament; which gave them their championship edge.
"Being the underdogs, that's what we do: ball until we shine," Thomas said. "We just came together as a team and made some plays. We made some defensive plays, caught the ball in traffic, we came together as a team and made no mistakes. We're a family. We're Team AIGA family."
AIGA's win also clinched them a spot in Passing Down's 7th Annual 'Best of the West' Finals on April 24th. Joining them in Orange County will be Team Apex, Team OC Elite Gold and Team Rhare Breed Congo.

In 1966, the Association féminine d'éducation et d'action sociale (AFÉAS) is established through the merger of the Union catholique des femmes rurales and home economics circles. The photo features the first AFÉAS executive authority made up of Mesdames Hervé Bélanger, Germaine Goudreault, Bibiane Laliberté, Azilda Marchand and Mrs. Donat Mayrand
The Fédération des femmes du Québec (FFQ), a leading association in Quebec, is established in 1966. Its first Board of Directors comprised 16 women
Women Get Organized: the Foundation of Women's Associations
Old Women's Associations
Women's associations had existed for a long time in Quebec. In the 19th century, there were philanthropic associations in the cities. Members were middle class women from French and English communities. In rural areas, associations flourished during the 20th century. There were farm women's circles as of 1915, branches of the Union catholique des fermières in 1944 – the female version of the Union catholique des cultivateurs (UCC) --, which became branches of the Union catholique des femmes rurales in 1957. During this last year, homemakers' circles emerged as well as the Ligue des femmes du Québec, a reform association of unionist women who embraced the communist movement.
The Emergence of a New Kind of Feminism
In the early 1960s, women's organizations were less dynamic than the organizations of the first half of the 20th century, which had battled for the right of women to vote, finally obtained under the Liberal government of Adélard Godbout. However, the slump was short-lived. With the effervescence of the Quiet Revolution, a new kind of feminism emerged. One of the first indications of what was to become known as neofeminism was the creation, at the initiative of Thérèse Casgrain, of the Fédération des femmes du Québec (FFQ) in 1966. The federation was run by women of various professional backgrounds and its purpose was to coordinate the actions of several women's associations directed at the recognition of the fundamental rights of women and the mitigation of various forms of discrimination against them. One offshoot was the Conseil du statut de la femme in 1973, a leading advisory agency. By the end of the 1970s, it grouped together 130 000 members from some 30 associations. Again, in 1966, branches of the Union catholique des femmes rurales and homemakers' circles united to form a new entity known as the Association féminine d'éducation et d'action sociale (AFÉAS). Members of the FFQ originated primarily from big cities, whereas AFÉAS recruiting took place in rural areas and small cities. By the end of the 1970s, the latter organization grouped together some 35 000 women from 600 circles who lobbied for women's rights and pressured local authorities.
More Radical Women's Organizations
In addition to the FFQ and AFÉAS, several other women's associations emerged at the end of the 1960s and during the next decade. Some were identified with the radical feminist movement known as the Front de libération des femmes du Québec and the Montreal Women's Liberation Movement. These organizations fought male domination.

It has taken Eric Ludy four years of spiritual wrestling before he was ready to deliver this super-charged message. After all, within a modern Christian system that has been greatly undermined by the "Health, Wealth, and Prosperity Gospel," no one in the "Biblically Conservative" camp really wants to touch this issue which lies right smack in the middle of the "Charismatic" and "Faith Movement" controversy. It's high-time that the Church of Jesus Christ gain a Biblical and sound answer to this important issue of healing without blindly throwing the blanket answer of "cessation" over it. Was healing merely an outward seal upon the ministry of the Messiah and His apostles, or is it something that is intended by God to be included in our understanding of the Atonement? The answer to that question has far-reaching ramifications.

Most patients appreciate the out; they've spent the past 12hrs repeating the same story to the newest person to walk into the room. Most patients take me up on the chance to correct the young guy in the white coat and sit back as he tells them their own story.
The patient, M, declined and dove headfirst into her story.
Mackenzi Kim Returns! Mackenzi is a 27yo mother, 4th year medical student, and future family medicine physician. In the intervening three years since her initial interview (the first ever On Death episode!), she dove headfirst into a relationship, married her partner, and birthed a wonderful son.
During this emotionally vulnerable conversation, we discuss her lessons from the deaths of family members, what she has learned from a few months of motherhood, and how she imagines a wonderful reunion with loved ones after death.
This week, I tease a bit of the upcoming 2019 Season of the On Death Podcast!
Quite the week. Epilogue is the week following Match Day. Four years of SELECT: health systems, emotional intelligence, and leadership training reviewed in a flurry of activity. Throw in the Awards Gala on Wednesday night for a mid-week extravaganza that left many of my peers hungover and very slow on Thursday morning.
Spring is in the air in Coopersburg, PA. I see bulbs pushing out new growth. The sun has been warm. Next week is the Equinox. We have shut down the fireplace (partially because the chimney is clogged, partially because the weather no longer calls for a large, constant fire).
This week, I'll revisit the placeholder bullet-points from the previous reflection. I'm going to rejigger the order, because some are more personal and I think should take priority, and others are more for my own documentation of events and a 'recipe' for future gatherings.


Mao (born 1893) grew up during a period of madness in China. To learn more, I suggest reading The Roots of Madness, which shows that world.
Then the Chinese Civil War lasted from 1926 to 1949 with a few years out to fight the horrors of the Japanese invasion of China during World War II.
The Long March experience by itself was enough to cause PTSD in all 6,000 of its survivors from the more than 80,000 troops that started the year-long journey of retreat, battle, and severe suffering that was surrounded by death on a daily basis.
After Mao was China's leader, there was an assassination attempt by one of his most trusted generals, Lin Biao, a man Mao had named as his successor after he died. In addition, during China's Civil War, Chiang Kai-shek ordered more than one failed assassination attempt on Mao.
However, the threats and violence that shaped Mao's life began before The Long March and before he was a leader in the Chinese Communist Party.
As a child, he grew up among farmers and peasants with an average expected life span in China of 35 years. In the 1920s, as an idealist and a sensitive poet, he believed in helping the worker and led several labor movements that were brutally subdued by the Nationalist government led by Chiang Kai-shek.
Once, he barely escaped with his life.
In 1930, Yang Kaihu, his wife at the time—Mao was married four times—was arrested and executed. In addition, Mao had two younger brothers and an adopted sister executed by Chiang Kai-shek's troops. If you had several close calls with death; lost a wife, two younger brothers and an adopted sister in this way, how would that affect you?
To judge Mao by today's Politically Correct Western values is wrong, because he grew up in a world ruled by a completely different set of values that shaped him to be tough enough to survive and win.
Anyone that survived and went on to rule China at that time would have been judged as brutal by today's Politically Correct Western values. In fact, Chiang Kai-shek was a brutal dictator who ruled Taiwan—after he fled mainland China in 1949—under military marshal law until his death in 1976. But Chiang didn't have as many people to rule over so the death count was smaller but no less significant.
The History of Humanitarianism shows us that this concept was born and nurtured in the West and developed slowly over centuries with the result that the individual was made more important than an entire population.
PTSD as a war wound and a trauma was not recognized or treated until well after America's Vietnam War. Prior to its discovery, it was known as shell shock. The diagnosis of PTSD first appeared in the 1980s, and Mao died in 1976.
In fact, if Mao were alive today he would not be alone. In the United States, it is estimated that 7.8% of all Americans suffer from PTSD, and among that segment of the population, more than 300,000 Iraq and Afghanistan military veterans have PTSD in addition to 1.7 million Vietnam veterans.

Man has sought these "crossroads" for millennia, in bands ranging from hunting parties to Civil War armies – following the river west into the Appalachian back country, or fordoing the shallows along major north-south trails that ran from Quebec to the Carolinas. The earliest settlers were Indians whose garden patches were set on alluvial flats and large islands, and 18th century Germans and English, whose paths crossed along the Monocacy and Potomac rivers. With the latter came the "longboat" for river travel, and the hand-poled ferry for use at major crossing points.
At normal water levels, strong paddlers can do the 17.5 miles to Edward's Ferry in about seven hours; at high water, swift currents cut the time considerably. For a chance to study and explore, spread the trip over two long afternoons, the first spent among Graffenried's "enchanted islands" above the Monocacy and the second from the Mouth of the Monocacy to Edward's Ferry.
The canoe put-in at Point of Rocks is under the route 15 highway bridge. To reach it, pass the train station, turn left on a side road across from Ballenger Creek Pike. Cross the railroad tracks and canal on a wooden bridge, and go to the right along the towpath for a short distance.
Overall, the scenery is pleasant. The quiet peacefulness of the river, however, is interrupted with motor boats. The wakes of these crafts make waves that require vigilant bracing to keep the canoe stable.
A region of major Indian and colonial river crossings, this section includes early north-south trails and fords at and around Noland's Ferry (mile 3.8). Near the main crossing in Loudoun County, Virginia, is the Jeffrey Rock Shelter, where excavations have revealed thousands of years of aboriginal use, probably by hunting parties. Heater's (or Conoy) Island saw the last stand of the Piscataway Indians in the Potomac Valley, and the visit of the Swiss explorer von Graffenried, who ventured up river as far as Point of Rocks in 1712, enticed by the rumor of silver mines. After the Revolution, the lower Monocacy River became a vigorous industrial center with mills and iron works developed by the Johnson brothers of Frederick County to exploit markets along the nearby roads and trade routes. Catoctin Ridge, above Point of Rocks, is all that remains of a large fold that developed when the Appalachians were squeezed and uplifted several hundred million years ago. Exposed along the B&O Railroad cut are the altered remains of a billion-year-old lava flow (the "Catoctin greenstone") topped by rocks about half as old that were probably an ancient beach deposit (the Weverton quartzite").
Development of the town was spurred by the construction of the C&O Canal and the B&O Railroad, which arrived together in the early 1830's, sponsored by rival promoters in Washington and Baltimore. The goal of both projects was the rich trade of the Ohio Valley, and both looked to the Potomac Valley as their route west through the Appalachians. Unlike the railroad, the canal was unable to cross the Alleghenies west of Cumberland, Maryland, and when the Metropolitan Branch of the B&O was completed to Point of Rocks from Washington in 1873, the canal's demise was assured.
For years, Point of Rocks served as a watering point for B&O steam engines and as a transfer point for sandstone boated up-canal from quarries at Seneca for rail shipment to Baltimore. The two rivals built the last and most important Potomac "highways" to the west, their junction here provoking a contest for rights-of-way at the foot of Catoctin Mountain that involved such legal giants as Daniel Webster and Roger Brooke Taney.
The present highway bridge carries Route 15, a modern relocation of the old "Carolina Road," the region's major north-south artery. On the Virginia side is "Furnace Mountain," site of still another Johnson iron furnace.
By the late 17th century the Piscataway Indians (called the Conoys by the Iroquois) had been pushed out of their southern Maryland Homeland by the English, and after several years in Virginia had settled on Heater's Island in 1699. Here they planted crops and built a stockaded village, but after an outbreak of smallpox in 1711, abandoned the Potomac and sought refuge in Pennsylvania.
Heater's Island is about a mile and a half long, and just below the head is a characteristic V-shaped fish weir that runs from there to a small island near the Maryland shore: in normal and low water look for V-shaped ripples or a loose-rock dam piled into a "V," with the point downstream. Fish forced into the weir made their way down to the point which was usually blocked by a net or basket. This trap, and similar ones, are thought to be of Indian origin, but may have been used in Colonial days.
For an interesting side trip go down the Virginia side of Noland's Island and through a chain of small, unnamed islands; head back to Noland's Island and round the tip to see the former site of Noland's Ferry just up river on the Maryland shore. The lower third of the island, below Noland's Ferry, is a "gift" of the white man – built of topsoil washed down the river since Colonial days.
Look for a small boat-launching ramp on the Maryland shore, just below a large stone building that houses a Frederick County water intake. You can canoe back and put ashore there; walk over to the C&O Canal, and find the sandstone abutments that once carried the old road over the canal to the ferry.
Ancient war and hunting paths crossed here and, in the 17th century, an Iroquois path that ran across the Maryland and Virginia piedmont to the Carolinas – followed in colonial times by the famous Carolina Road that carried settlers and commerce.
By the 1750's Philip Noland was operating a ferry, but a century later the depredations of "highwaymen" had forced travelers to abandon the crossing. Although the modern highway bridge is four miles west at Point of Rocks, other parts of modern Route 15 follow the old Carolina Road exactly, especially south of the river. George Washington used this road and Noland's Ferry, and during the Revolution, Anthony Wayne's regiment splashed across en route to Yorktown.
Look for the mouth of the Creek on the Maryland shore not far below the tip of Noland's Island where a large red-sandstone culvert carries it under the C&O Canal. To see the fine stone work executed by the canal builders, canoe up the creek and into the culvert. After the canal closed in 1924, local residents punched holes into this and other culverts to drain stagnant rainwater from the old canal ditch. In 1712-14 bands of Tuscarora Indians camped in the area after a losing struggle to retain their ancestral homeland near New Bern, North Carolina. Defeated by the English, scattered bands wandered north (to New York State) to join their Iroquois kinsmen of the Five Nations – later becoming the "Sixth Nation of the Iroquois Confederacy. The creek retains the Iroquoian name, as does a small settlement and post office a few miles north.
Another interesting side trip is back across the river and down the channel between the two halves of Birdsaw Island, then down the Virginia shore past Cox Island. Near the head of Cox Island, where a small Loudoun stream empties into the Potomac, is a perfectly preserved fish weir.
Look for the C&O Canal Aqueduct, and just beyond, the major engineering work of the Metropolitan Branch of the B&O Railroad – the Monocacy River Viaduct. Here you may paddle up the Monocacy for a side excursion.
It drains the rich Frederick Valley from head springs near Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, and was once a major canoe route and north-south trail for the Indians. In the 18th century, English settlers pushing up the Potomac from "tidewater" introduced slavery and tobacco cultivation to the region, and commingled with German families who had followed the Monocacy Valley down from Pennsylvania. The Germans brought the "family farm" and an agriculture featuring small grains, orchards, livestock and the imposing bank barn.
The Potowmack Company, founded and directed by George Washington from 1785-89, had prominent backers in Thomas and Roger Johnson of Frederick, whose iron industries later dotted the lower Monocacy valley astride the region's major trade routes. These men had long dreamed of shipping western goods and produce down the Potomac to tidewater ports at Georgetown and Alexandria and of tapping major tributaries like the Monocacy, whose prosperous farms and mills enjoyed a well-established trade with Baltimore. After years of delay, the Potomac was opened for longboat navigation as far as Cumberland, Maryland (150 miles west), but projects to clear the Monocacy were sporadic and short-lived.
The Potomac and its tributaries were too shallow much of the year to carry even longboat traffic, and by 1828 the Potowmack Company had relinquished its rights to develop river navigation to the C&O Canal Company.
This seven-arch stone aqueduct was completed in 1833 to carry the C&O Canal 516 feet over the Monocacy River. The stone was quarried near Sugar Loaf Mountain, about six miles east, and carted from the quarries on the wooden tracks of one of Maryland's earliest railroads, built by the contractors for just that purpose.
You can put ashore to look for rope burns cut into the iron railings at either end of the aqueduct – the signature of generations of mules and tow-ropes.
Because of the continual effects of weather and river, the stability of this beautiful structure deteriorated during the 20th Century, necessitating a major rehabilitation project. That project was completed in 2005, ending with a rededication ceremony in May of that year. Because of the renovation, the Aqueduct will be a treasure for future generations to enjoy.
Built in 1873 to carry the Metropolitan Branch of the B&O Railroad over the river, it was raised and strengthened about 1900.
Years before, stone columns for the Capitol had been quarried from sandstone bluffs above White's Ferry and shipped downriver in longboats. The 1830's brought C&O Canal traffic, and the abortive effort of Virginians to extend canal navigation up Goose Creek to link Loudoun County farms and mills with the C&O Canal and the markets of Georgetown and Alexandria.
Behind the trees on both banks, and occasionally outcropping in prominent bluffs on the Virginia shore, are red-sandstone cliffs cut by the Potomac over millions of years. The "redstone" deposits laid down in Triassic times (a relatively brief 200 million years ago), extend irregularly from New England to the Carolinas.
This is an old crossing below the Monocacy that kept its name long after the ferry quit operation. Confederate regiments invading Maryland on September 5, 1862, forded the river at Spink's and Noland's Ferries, and at White's Ford. They were observed by a Union signal station on Sugar Loaf Mountain which wig-wagged the alarm to a signal station near Frederick.
This massive set of structures is a coal-fired generating plant which began operations about 1959. The original 400 foot chimneys are dwarfed by the large 750 foot stack completed in the late 1970s. A fourth stack, shorter and wider, was added in 2009, and is a scrubber designed to remove sulphur and nitrogen oxides from the fluegas. On the river bank is a large concrete water intake, built to its present configuration to accommodate the flood pool of proposed river dams that were never built.
Also sited just south of the Pepco plant is the Montgomery County Resource Recovery Facility marked by a chimney of 275 feet. This facility was brought into service in about 1990, and burns trash to generate electricity. The trash arrives by rail from the transfer station in Shady Grove.
Twice again later in the war, large bodies of Confederate troops, returning from campaigns into Pennsylvania and Maryland, crossed here.
Take the Maryland (left) channel which leads to two fish traps and the site of an abandoned marble quarry.
On the Maryland shore, just above a channel that bisects Mason Island, is an overnight Hiker-Biker camp adjacent to the canal; in the bluffs beyond is the site of a quarry drawn upon by Benjamin H. Latrobe in rebuilding the Capitol about 1818. Large stone columns were hewed out and shipped downriver in longboats; they can be seen today in the Old House Chamber (now the Hall of Statuary). The "marble" is really a conglomerate rock interbedded in the more common red sandstone.
The stone retaining wall was built by the C&O Canal Company to prevent bank erosion. Along much of Mason Island the canal towpath and ditch are just uphill from the river.
The last working ferry on the Potomac River, it is now the only Potomac crossing in the 40 miles between Cabin John and Point of Rocks.
In operation for over 150 years, it was the "upper" ferry connecting the rural trade centers of Poolesville (MD) and Leesburg (VA), and quickly developed into an important storage and shipping point for farmers trading on the C&O Canal. One of the earliest Montgomery County roads, River Road, still ends at White's Ferry; just across the river is Route 15, following the line of the old Carolina Road.
Up the road from the ferry on the Maryland side are the stone foundations of a former grain warehouse, and the ruins of a bridge that once carried wagon traffic over the C&O Canal. In this part of Montgomery County, where roads were poor and the railroads far away, farmers brought their grain to shipping points on the canal like White's Ferry, and picked up lime and fertilizer boated from Georgetown and Alexandria. On Civil War maps it was "Conrad's Ferry," and became "White's" Ferry only after the war when it was purchased by a celebrated former Confederate Cavalryman, Col. Elijah V. White of Leesburg.
This large floodplain island is still farmed. Take the channel on the Virginia side.
Just before reaching the head of a small island close to Harrison Island, look for the mouth of a small stream on the Virginia shore: it has built a muddy delta where, in summer, much debris is often left by fishermen. From here, a trail runs inland and up a steep sandstone bluff to the Ball's Bluff National Cemetery, about a five minute walk from the river.
The sandstone bluff is "Ball's Bluff," where, on October 21, 1861, 1700 Federal troops were routed by Confederate troops garrisoned at nearby Leesburg. Four Federal regiments had crossed the river the night before to make a "slight demonstration" against Leesburg, led by a friend of Abraham Lincoln, Colonel Edward Baker, an enthusiastic but inexperienced commander. By mid-afternoon of the 21st, Baker had been killed, and his forces – fighting from an inferior position on top of Ball's Bluff – saw their slow retreat turn into panic as confederate troops made a determined bayonet charge. Trying to retreat across the river, soldiers jumped, slid or fell down the nearly vertical bluffs, and at the bottom found few boats available to ferry them across the rain swollen channel to Harrison Island. In the general rout, boats loaded with wounded were swamped, and scores of men drowned or were cut down by rifle fire as they tried to swim for it.
In the small cemetery on the top of the bluff are buried a few Union soldiers, most of them unknown. Nearby stones mark the grave of a lone Confederate and the spot where Colonel Baker was mortally wounded.
Just below Ball's Bluff is a fish weir, still in a perfect "V" thought by some archeologists to be several thousand years old.
After passing Harrison Island paddle down the Virginia shore another two miles to the mouth of Goose Creek, a major tributary that drains a large watershed in Loudoun County. Since the C&O Canal lies just across the Potomac at Edward's Ferry, a project was begun in the 1830's to canalize Goose Creek and build locks around the rapids so Loudoun farmers could ship their grain to Georgetown and Alexandria by canal. Boats that navigate Goose Creek were poled across the Potomac and into the C&O Canal through two "guard locks" that were constructed just below Edward's Ferry.
Work on the project was slow and costly, and few if any cargoes ever navigated significant stretches of Goose Creek.
The "lower" ferry connecting Poolesville and River Road to Leesburg, this was – like White's Ferry – an important storage and shipping point for local farmers. At the canal is Lock 25 and the locktender's house, and just below, the ruins of a former store. A few hundred yards below the store are the two "guard locks" that gave grain boats access to the canal.
Shortly before the Battle of Gettysburg, the Union Army of the Potomac crossed the Potomac on pontoon bridges laid down on either side of Goose Creek. Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia had already crossed the Potomac at Williamsport, about sixty miles upriver, and was marching east when the Federal Army, cautiously keeping between Lee and their own capital city, crossed here on June 27 and 28 before marching north to join battle.
Edward's Ferry is the take-out point. Today the weedy, isolated river bottom gives little hint of its days as an important crossroads – too far from the railroad and major highways, its end was signaled when the C&O Canal closed in 1924. Ferry operations ceased in 1936, and fire and the 1972 flood claimed the remaining summer cottages and fishing camps.

Q: Derivative of piecewise function with $\sin\frac{1}{x}$ term I was going through my calculus book, and I am not sure I understand this part
$f(x) = \begin{cases} \frac{x^2}{4}+x^4\sin(\frac{1}{x}) &\text{if $x\neq0$ } \\ 0 &\text{if $x=0$ } \end{cases}$
$ f'(x) = \begin{cases} \frac{x}{2}-x^2\cos(\frac{1}{x})+4x^3\sin(\frac{1}{x}) &\text{if $x\neq0$ } \\ 0 &\text{if $x=0$ } \end{cases}$
$ f''(x) = \begin{cases} \frac{1}{2}+12x^2\sin(\frac{1}{x})-\sin(\frac{1}{x})-6x\cos(\frac{1}{x}) &\text{if $x\neq0$ } \\ \frac{1}{2} &\text{if $x=0$ } \end{cases}$
So, I know that when I have piecewise function, I need to look at left and right limit, but I don't see why second part in second derivative is $\frac{1}{2}$, or rather why does the $\sin\frac{1}{x}$ term go to 0?

A: If $x\neq0$, then\begin{align}\frac{f'(x)-f'(0)}x&=\frac{\frac x2-x^2\cos\left(\frac1x\right)+4x^3\sin\left(\frac1x\right)}x\\&=\frac12-x\cos\left(\frac1x\right)+4x^2\sin\left(\frac1x\right)\end{align}and therefore\begin{align}f''(0)&=\lim_{x\to0}\frac12-x\cos\left(\frac1x\right)+4x^2\sin\left(\frac1x\right)\\&=\frac12.\end{align}

A: hint
$$f''(0)=\lim_{x\to 0,x\ne 0}\frac{f'(x)-f'(0)}{x-0}$$

Q: Mark of the Web breaking locally hosted page with video tag I've made a video presentation tool using Video.js, which is in the final stages of testing. The tool will be hosted locally, and I'm encountering the IE warning "Internet Explorer restricted this webpage from running scripts or ActiveX controls".
Obviously the solution would be to add a mark of the web with the proper windows line breaks and encoded in UTF-8.
Not only does the error still occur, but with MOTW applied, clicking "Allow blocked content" does not remove the error. Instead the error will constantly instantly reappear.

*

*Without MOTW clicking the warning leads to the page loading correctly with full functionality.

*With the video tag removed and all javascript links and scripts in place, MOTW works and removed the IE warning.
The following MCVE that recreates the issue:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<!-- saved from url=(0014)about:internet -->
<html>
    <body>
        <video>
            <source src="video/TestVideo.mp4" type='video/mp4' />
            <source src="video/TestVideo.webm" type='video/webm' />
        </video>
    </body>
</html>

I'm stumped. Very unusual. What do you think? I'm testing in IE11/Win7.
Edit: I've researched this and tested it plenty. Adding the mark of the web only makes the issue worse.
The tool is going to be kept on usb sticks for presentation purposes, so it needs to work on any machine without going into IE settings. Of course, it is just one click of a button… but presentation is everything !

IT'S no secret that Donald Trump is freakishly wealthy.
Yesterday, a New York Times investigation revealed that the President helped "his parents dodge taxes" and received far more money from his father's real estate empire than he has claimed in the past.
The report uncovered a pattern of alleged tax evasion that allowed Trump to receive $US413 million (NZ$683 million) in today's dollars from his father's business through alleged dodgy acts.
The announcement has brought renewed calls for Trump to release his tax returns to the public, but the President has consistently refused to do so.
The story contradicts Trump's claim that he received "a small loan of $1 million" to build his "massive empire".
But what you may not know is that Trump's corporations came face-to-face with bankruptcy on several occasions.
While the President has never filed for personal bankruptcy, corporations he was associated with filed for bankruptcy four times.
In 1990, regulators noted the alarming amount of debt on his holdings, totalling $US3.4 billion. According to the Times, they warned that "the possibility of a complete financial collapse of the Trump Organisation was not out of the question".
In April 1990, Donald Trump opened the $US1.2 billion Taj Mahal Casino Resort — his third Atlantic City casino.
It was his biggest deal ever, and he described it as the eighth wonder of the world. In its opening days, more than 60,000 people visited the venue every day.
It was a high time for Trump — his profile was skyrocketing and he had cemented his status as a celebrity businessman.
He was considered a showman, and according to ABC News, banks were lining up to lend him money.
Trump went on a spending spree, buying everything from a $US32 million yacht to a $US365 million airline, to the $US407 million Plaza Hotel.
The casino he hailed as a "tremendous success" was built on borrowed money with a whopping 14 per cent interest rate.
The casino was unable to generate enough gambling revenue to cover the enormous costs of building and maintaining the facility, particularly given there was a recession going on at the time.
By 1991, the casino was in $US3 billion of debt, while Trump owed around $US900 million in personal liabilities.
"He was destined to fail," said real estate businessman Steve Wynn, a rival of Trump's. "In a town where for the last 10 years, no 60,000 square foot casino had ever been utilised, on what basis would someone build one with 120,000 feet?"
Now, everything he had worked to build was in jeopardy. Bankers who had been throwing money at him just months before were now at his door, demanding answers.
The company ended up seeking Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection — referring to a chapter of the United States Bankruptcy Code filed by corporations that require time to restructure their debts.
Trump struck a deal with the lenders, giving up half his stake in the casino, and being forced to sell his yacht and airline to pay back loans, according to the Washington Post.
In 2016, the Trump Taj Mahal closed for the last time.

In 1988, Trump acquired the iconic Plaza Hotel in New York for $US390 million, a lavish hotel on New York's famous Fifth Avenue overlooking Central Park.
His then-wife Ivana Trump was installed as the hotel's president, and he was optimistic about the purchase.
"I haven't purchased a building, I have purchased a masterpiece — the Mona Lisa," he was quoted by The New York Times as saying.
"For the first time in my life, I have knowingly made a deal that was not economic — for I can never justify the price I paid, no matter how successful the Plaza becomes."
But by 1992, the hotel had built up $US550 million in debt, forcing Trump to relinquish a 49 per cent stake in the venue in exchange for easier terms on which to pay off the debts.
The agreement was submitted as a prepackaged bankruptcy in November 1992.
Trump also filed for Chapter 11 protection over two more Atlantic City hotel-casinos — the Trump Plaza and Trump's Castle, because they couldn't make principal and interest payments on bonds.
The Trump Plaza was one of a number of Atlantic City casinos to fall onto hard times. Photo/Getty Images.
In 1995, Trump established Trump Hotels and Casino Resorts as a publicly traded company.
By 2004, the company was nearly $US1.8 billion in debt.
Once again, his ownership in the business was reduced from 56 per cent to 27 per cent, in order to receive better terms from lenders.
In November that year, the company filed for bankruptcy. Trump said the filing was "really just a technical thing" as the best way to begin restructuring.
The company was subsequently renamed Trump Entertainment Resorts (TER).
It hasn't always been smooth sailing for current US President Donald Trump. Photo/Getty Images.
In 2009, TER declared Chapter 11 after missing a $US53.1 million bond interest payment.
At first, Trump made an agreement with Beal Bank owner Andrew Beal to take over the resorts.
But he could not reach an agreement with the board of directors over whether or not to file for bankruptcy, which, according to Reuters, saw him resigning as head of the board.
He ended up reducing his ownership share of the business yet again, but the company retained his name.
In 2011, TER sold the Trump Marina to Landry's Restaurants for $US38 million — less than 10 per cent of what the company paid Trump for it in 1996.
In 2014, Trump successfully sued to take his name off the company and its casinos.

The Dirt on Flea Control


The Bradley Cooper body transformation has been one of the big celebrity talking points over the last few years. How did he get jacked and shredded all at the same time? We thought we'd get it straight from the horses mouth – his Hollywood trainer, Ashley Conrad tells you how you can look, and feel like a new man.
You may also be pleasantly surprised to know that Ashley claims making lasting changes to your physique doesn't require extreme methods, just some that improve your health.
When I moved into the world of celebrity training, I needed to be able to quickly transform the body. Normally, "quickly" would be defined as six weeks instead of the typical eight to 12 weeks.
However, Hollywood's definition is more like seven days. The phone rings and A-listers need to be ready in a matter of days. Not only do I know how to quickly transform the body, my career has been built on it. So what's the secret? Is it dehydrating? No.
The body will react by retaining water once it's added back in. Is it pulling all the carbs from your diet? Certainly not. This will cause the body to hoard carbs the second they're added back in. Is it overloading the body with 200-plus grams of protein a day? Wrong again. This can cause bloating, water retention and create an extremely high acid balance in the body.
The truth is, I've never implemented any of these commonly used rituals because they work against your body. When you work against the body, there's always a backlash. I built a career by transforming the body faster than anyone else using balance.
When I was hired to train Bradley Cooper for The A-Team, I had weeks to pack 30lb of muscle onto his six-foot-two, 185lb frame.
I did this without having him take creatine, steroids, growth hormone or eating a single piece of red meat for the entire four months of shooting. His protein per meal never exceeded 25-30g and his workouts were between 30-45 minutes.
You don't need to pump yourself full of supplements, spend three hours a day in the gym; or down chicken breast, tilapia and skirt steak all day to build muscle or burn fat. Protein intake, supplements and exercise are important, but the real magic happens when you work within your body's natural mechanisms for metabolism, anabolic muscle building, digestion and hormonal balance.
Eat 20-30g of protein per meal.
Drink at least 100oz of water every single day.
Eat one high-carb, high-calorie cheat meal per week on your most intense day of working out.
If you do cheat outside of this, do an extra 20 minutes of high-intensity interval training (HIIT). Don't do the shame spiral. There are negative hormonal implications attached to the stress the body goes under when we feel guilty.
Never stop moving. Even while packing muscle on, Bradley never stopped moving during our weight-training workouts. Most days were muscle-pairing circuits. Day 1: chest, shoulders, biceps. Day 2: back, triceps, legs. Day 3: rest.
Do cardio. At least 20 minutes of HIIT three times per week, even if you're trying to build. The notion that you're not allowed to raise your heart rate to a certain level if you're trying to build muscle is absolutely archaic.
Get at least seven or eight hours of sleep per day.
Spend the first five minutes when you wake up thinking about everything in your life you're grateful for. There are positive hormonal implications on account of cortisol's connection to thoughts of gratitude. In other words, smile your way to a total body transformation.


The Pacific Floorcare S-20 Orbital Scrubber is a 20 inch automatic floor scrubbing machine that may very well be the best value in auto scrubbers. It can scrub, top strip and full on strip all hard floor surfaces with wax on them. The rectangular head design allows you to get right up next to walls and cut a line, as well as scrub directly into a corner. You'll never have to get down on your hands and knees and use a stripping hand pad again!
Not only does this machine feature specifications and attributes you would find in the premium price ranges, but at a mid-market price, but it also comes with an outstanding warranty! It is the only orbital scrubber (with a handle, or as an auto scrubber), that comes with a warranty on its isolators. In fact, some competitors make you change these isolators out every 250 hours. Not Pacific Floorcare! They give you a 2 year or 1200 hour warranty on these exact same isolators. Like we said before this is truly a premium machine at a mid-level price!
It comes with an on-board "1, 2, 3 step" visual guide so any operator can step right up and easily use the machine. The Pacific Floorcare S-20 comes with an on-board charger, so when the operator is done, he/she can simply plug it into the nearest outlet and it will be ready to go again tomorrow. *Please Note: We always recommend running your batteries down until they're completely dead before recharging. This will ensure that the batteries don't retain a memory and shorten the run cycle times.
We always recommend using your S-20 orbital auto scrubber with a red pad as a buffer to the pad driver, so as your scrubbing/stripping pad wears down, the bristles from the pad driver don't come through and start scratching the floor.
For other options, be sure to check out our Dry Stripping Floor Machines, which perform identical duties to this machine, but have a handle instead of a drive system. We also offer the S-20 in a 20" rotary version of this floor scrubber if this isn't exactly what you were looking for.
Chemical-free finish removal at 2,200 rpm and 100 lb of down pressure.
Up to 4 hours of run time, complete with an on-board charger.
OSHA recognized 65 dBA of sound level output when running.
10 year warranty on tanks, 3 years on parts, 2 years (1,200 hours) on isolators, and 1 year on labor.
Customers who were interested in the Pacific Floorcare® S-20 Orbital Auto Scrubber - 14" x 20" were also interested in the following items.
I just had my tile and my carpets. Glen did a professional job and I am impressed with his work.

Tommy was with Ardeer Thistle before he joined United. He made a spectacular debut, scoring a hat-trick and held his place for several weeks. However, from November he played mainly in the reserves before he was released in May 1961.
Tommy went onto play games for Bath City, Cheltenham Town, Inverness Caley and Morton before emigrating to Canada to play for Polish White Eagles. After a couple of seasons the Eagles folded and Tommy moved onto America and joined New York Ukrainians for 1 season playing in the American Soccer League. Tommy then returned to Canada the following season and signed for Hamilton Steelers playing in the Eastern Canadian Professional Soccer League. After a couple of seasons Tommy retired from football but remained living in Canada.
