With some effort Tam and I got Jim out of the paddock yesterday, this involved taking down part of a wooden fence, rope, and the ute. We got him out just as Julia arrived, thankfully she was early getting out of an appointment in Ohirau Valley, and swung by on her way back to clinic. So we had the PM done at 3:45 not 6:45. Due to the heat of the day, that is a good thing. The longer you wait and the more decomposition sets in, the harder it is to determine cause of death.
Jim had blood in his intestine, throughout the upper bowel. The bowel was also really inflamed. I would guess that was the immediate cause of death. Samples were taken. He also had lesions and evidence of damage in his lungs, so we toook another sample. Right now we don't know if the two are related. There is a chance that the lung damage was cronic, or occured years ago (pneumonia as a cria?). We have to wait about 5 days for the pathology and histology reports to come back. I hope we can get a definiative cause of death.
We always knew Jim was fat, but boy we didn't realize how fat. Fat enough to complicate the post-mortem at times. I don't know if his fatness contributed to his death, and I don't know what we could have done about it. All he got was grass (no feed supplements), but he was a lazy bugger, and was very good at conserving energy (sitting in the shade) and converting all that grass into fat. I shudder to think what Oak is like, as I think he is even fatter.
After Julia left we got Jim up to the graveyard with Yvonne's help, and did what we needed to do. Steve came by with his digger to make the grave. It was a long and grueling day. We finished up about 8:30PM, and after washing up went into Tawa to get food. Eating so late has caused the predictable reaction today- migraine. I will sit in a dark room, take happy drugs, and do very little today.
Jim, our llama, just died.
Last night we noticed he was not feeling well (lagging the herd), and scouring. We drenched him, and put him up in the glen paddock where I could keep an eye on him. He was moving around, but not really eating. At about 12:45 he went down to the water trough, sniffed at the water trough, then kushed down and started rolling. A few minutes later he was groaning. His tounge was grey, and his membranes pale. Not a good sign. A few minutes after that he died.
Julia will come and do the post mortem exam after her clinic closes. I have him covered until then.
Beyond shock. Just numb. Need to get a neighbor with a digger to dig his grave, and move his body up to the graveyard. He is way to big and fat for us to move on our own, especially as he died at the lowest point in the paddock.
A good antidote to a sucky day is celebrating an obscure (relatively speaking) ethnic holiday with a bunch of friends. Especially if the event includes reciting poetry to a haggis, reading aloud from a book of raunchy (if you can parse the dialect) 18th C Scots doggerel, and deserts made with Laphroaig.
It was death by misadventure- drowning. Nabaztag must have had his head pushed under while neck-wrestling, he got a lungful of water, he went into shock, and his heart stopped. At least it was a very quick end. Poor little guy just had his first birthday a few weeks ago.
It is one of those stories where if it happened to human kids, it would be all over the news. Horsing around in water 6 inches deep, and one ends up dead.
Some tiny solace can be found in that we did nothing wrong, and there was nothing we could have done to prevent it. Another random "lightning strike", like the bowel torsion that killed Ferrari.
I am getting sick of digging graves.
And a bit shocked. I expect sad will come along a bit later. Stephen just found Nabaztag dead in the front paddock. His head was in the stream, so maybe he drowned in a play-fighting accident. We're getting him PMed in an hour or so.
We've decided on a name for Saffron's cria. It's not exactly heraldic, but it *is* Medieval. According to the Book of Beasts, the "Latins" called a certain fish Mora, because it "compells vessels to stay motionless (mora=a delay)." It says, "The fish does this, not by a grip, but by sucking very hard." Go Mora.
We're considering calling him Enfield. He's got the big foxy ears; the white forelegs could be a nod to the eagle claws. The Enfield Repeating Rifle traditionally came "in the blue" — a dark steel color. Aaaaand, "Enfield" sounds like the name of the sort of guy who'd wear a suit all the time, like our little tuxedo boy here.
Today the part of Stephen will be played by Kerry, as Stephen came down with a case of "agriculture".
So Kerry came with me to the Horowhenua A&P show and sat through the alpaca judging and the talk on skirting show fleeces. We also watched the judging of the biggest and littlest horses at the show, and shopped for geese (not many geese there, unfortunately). Then we went out for Sichuan for Emily's birthday.
The symptoms of "agriculture" in this instance were bottle-feeding a cria from an alpaca we're agisting, and driving to Kaitoke to pick up some hay (need to start laying in feed for the winter — the weather has been so hot and dry, there's not much available at reasonable prices). Plus, Latte dropped a little dark gray tuxedo boy who is the cutest thing since Nabaztag, the little boy she produced last year.
Some weeks ago a new adjective was added to our lexicon- "agricultural." I believe Geoff coined the term when we were out helping Jasmine give birth, something along the lines of how he had no desire to go out and witness such agricultural activities.
This weekend we had more agricultural experiences. Saffron, who dropped her cria on Saturday, has a big udder. No, really, I mean it. Alpaca normally have little udders, even when they "bag-up" before giving birth. Saffron looked like a Jersey Cow. Got milk? Yes, but she also had a sore udder, and would not let her cria drink! At least that was our theory.
So Sunday we honed our alpaca-milking skills. Every 90-120 minutes we would tie Saffron up, and milk a 100ml or so from her, and feed it to the hungry cria. By the end of the day Saffron was getting easier to milk, either due to the udder being less sore, or her just getting used to the handling. Monday I had to milk her on my own, which was not as easy. The 7AM milking went well, but at 10AM (having come down off the back hilll where I was working with a professional fencer we hired to do the boundary fence) the milk was not very easy to get out.
At 4PM when I came down again (after a very long and exhausitng day in fierce winds) and tied Saffron up- and the cria got under and drank! Hurrah! A little later I untied Saffron and her cria had another drink. This morning I confirmed she is still letting the little (very persistent!) cria drink out in the paddock. This is a huge relief. We will weight the cria daily to make sure she gains weight, but otherwise things look good.
Now, what will the next act of "agriculture" be? Only time will tell.
Is it in the air? Is it in the water? Or maybe it is some cosmic rays from space. Whatever. We have Man-Power here on the farm. We produce boys like nobody else I know.
On Wednesday Bonus, one of the alpaca we are "mommy-sitting", dropped a lovely little black Suri boy named Austin. Isn't he cute!
What does that make our record? Year One: 2 boys Year Two: 3 boys (+2 more boys that died), 3 girls Year Three: 4 boys, +2 more boys from Angela's girls we were watching (Bonus and Fabrege) That gives us a record of 11-3, or 13-3 if we count the visiting girls too.
The ratio keeps getting more and more comically bad, until Saturday morning, when we went out to get the girls for matings and spit-offs. My brain paused for a moment, wondering why Alphyn was so wet and wobbly… well, maybe because it wasn't Alphyn but rather Safforn's new cria!
And a girl! Our first girl of the season! Yay! No name for her yet, we want to see if she has any quirks or traits that lend themself to a name.
On a lighter note, Basilisk does battle with a bit of gum bark. Miniya is bemused.

Location: Winder, Georgia, USA
Date of visit: Sunday, 18 July 2021, 11:00am
[Click here to display church info] [Hide church info]
The facility is a fun twist on industrial-chic. It looks simple and unassuming on the exterior, with its neutral earth-tones in brick and concrete. However, the interior boasts open spaces with inviting interior design, including artificial greenery, pallet walls, and bits of metal decor.
River Hills offers multiple opportunities to serve those in need with prayer and giving of resources. They spoke of ample areas in which people can connect with one another and the surrounding community.
Winder (the first syllable is pronounced with a long 'i') is a small city in north-central Georgia. Incorporated in 1893, it was originally called Jug Tavern and was later named in honor of John H. Winder, president of the Seaboard Air Line Railroad, in its heyday the major connection between Atlanta and the Northeast. In 2011, Winder became the first city in Georgia to permit the sale of alcoholic beverages on Sunday. This church is nestled nicely in between the hustle and bustle of downtown Winder and the rural areas on the outskirts.
The pastor opened the service with a welcome and the worship team led the music before the pastor gave the sermon.
What was the name of the service?
Sunday Service.
How full was the building?
The building was about one-third occupied during the second service of the morning, which is when I attended.
Did anyone welcome you personally?
As I approached the front entrance of the church, the doors swung open wide, being held by two friendly gentlemen, smiling and saying 'Good morning!' When I located the cafe where coffee was being served, the lady behind the counter was very kind and asked if I would like a cup of coffee. Then, another gentleman greeted me with a 'Hello' as he handed me a worship packet at the entrance of the sanctuary.
Was your pew comfortable?
The rows of chairs were actually quite comfortable. They were semi-firm and covered in a soft gray heavy-duty upholstery fabric. The rows were a good distance apart, so there was no need to squeeze past anyone to get to your seat.
How would you describe the pre-service atmosphere?
Before the service began, the room was mostly quiet and there were not many people in the sanctuary. As the service began, congregants trickled in from the lobby and found their seats. By the time the worship music started, the room was about one-third full.
What were the exact opening words of the service?
The pastor said 'Good morning!' and as he was met with a whisper of a response, he retorted, 'Let's try that again … GOOD MORNING!' This elicited a much more animated reply from the crowd.
What books did the congregation use during the service?
Only a few Bibles were seen during the service. Several people used Bible apps on their phones, but most read along with the text displayed on one of the large screens on either side of the room. No other materials were used.
What musical instruments were played?
The worship team used an electronic keyboard, acoustic guitar, electric bass guitar, electronic keyboard, and a cajón, a box-shaped percussion instrument. The music was contemporary but with a more intimate and acoustical vibe.
Did anything distract you?
There were a couple of things that directed my attention from the pastor speaking. First, a young lady arose from her seat to exit during the sermon, which wasn't so much of a distraction in itself, but the high-pitched squeak the heavy door made when she opened it was a head-turner for sure. The other instance was when an airplane flew over the church and the loud rushing wind made it difficult to hear the message, but only for a few seconds.
Was the worship stiff-upper-lip, happy clappy, or what?
The worship portion was somewhat reserved. While there was participation from the congregation, it was soft and restrained. There were a few moments when I could faintly hear those around me singing, and a lady near me raised her hands gently and gradually in exaltation.
Exactly how long was the sermon?
On a scale of 1-10, how good was the preacher?
8 — The pastor preached an easy-to-follow sermon, with several points about the message and its application. He often used (or should I say overused) the expression 'Does that make sense?'
In a nutshell, what was the sermon about?
The sermon was titled 'In God We Trust.' It was about trusting God with our community and how we, as believers, are called to evangelize to those around us. The message was to be the 'beautiful feet,' like those in Romans 10:15, that bring the Good News to others. He referred to Luke 5:17-26, where the paralyzed man is lowered through the roof of the house Jesus was in. The point was that there is one message, but many methods of evangelism. He made a good parallel in saying, 'If the front door is closed, find another way' in regard to evangelizing those around us.
Which part of the service was like being in heaven?
While the worship was wonderful and led by talented musicians and vocalists, and the message was thought-provoking and inspiring, the best part was hearing about all of the ways in which this congregation was utilizing their time, talents, and treasures to serve their neighbors. Not just in the immediate area, but also in their overseas ministries, like in Haiti.
And which part was like being in... er... the other place?
One blunder was with the coffee I was served. Once I reached the last half-inch of coffee, I realized that most of the remaining substance in my cup was coffee grounds, so I was unable to finish my drink. Later, there was a moment during prayer in which, even with my eyes closed, I could tell someone was trying to figure out which lights to turn on and which to turn off. It was like a strobe light over my eyelids and I have no idea what was said during the prayer at that point. The worst was when a young lady turned off a light in the room I was in, without acknowledging me (see below).
What happened when you hung around after the service looking lost?
After the service, I was greeted with a passing 'Bye!' and 'Have a good week!' from a couple of strangers. I then wandered through the church and found myself in the children's area. There were several people standing around and conversing with one another, but no one seemed to notice me. I then walked into the back room where children are checked in upon arrival. A young lady with blonde hair walked into the room, saw me walking through, but still proceeded to turn off the light without even a word. She then left, and I took that as my cue to do the same.
How would you describe the after-service coffee?
The taste of the coffee was average. It wasn't weak or overly stout, but it did have a good amount of grounds in it. It was served in a small styrofoam cup and an assortment of creamers and sweeteners littered the counter top. I didn't see any food items being offered.
How would you feel about making another visit (where 10 = ecstatic, 0 = terminal)?
7 — If I were looking for a church home, I might consider visiting this church again. I understand that the pandemic has played a role in some people's willingness to engage with strangers. So, I would give this church another chance to live out the message preached from the stage this morning by engaging with those around them.
Did the service make you feel glad to be a Christian?
The service actually inspired me to live out my faith in front of those around me and evangelize through my thoughts, words, and actions by praying, taking initiative, and being a light in this world. I would say that this morning made me glad to be a Christian.
What one thing will you remember about all this in seven days' time ?
'There is one message, but many methods ... if the front door is closed, find another way.'

NEWS WITH ATTITUDE
Middle East Conflict	 April 20, 2015 April 24, 2015
Indonesia condemns bombing of its embassy in Yemen
Jakarta – Indonesia on Monday condemned the bombing of its embassy in Yemen that injured two staffers and another Indonesian.
The embassy building in the Yemeni capital Sanaa was badly damaged in an airstrike by Saudi-led forces that was intended to destroy an ammunition depot, the Foreign Ministry said.
Many Yemeni civilians were also killed in the attack, the ministry said.
"The Indonesian government believes that the bombing is evidence that the use of force to solve problems will only result in innocent people being victimised," the ministry said in a statement.
"Indonesia would like to reiterate that a peaceful solution through diplomacy and negotiations is the best way".
Indonesia has evacuated nearly 2,000 citizens from Yemen since the conflict erupted.
Last month Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries began a military campaign against Houthi fighters who overran large parts of Yemen in September.
Saudi Arabia is seeking to reinstate President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi, who has fled the country after the capital was seized by the Houthi rebels.

There is no greater joy than getting your hands into a garden in spring, indoors or out... unless perhaps it's to share that joy with a new gardener.
This site is our gift to you.
your dollars keep us all growing.
The silver maples flowered, crocuses were as loud in color as the spring peepers were in voice, the first daffodil opened, all six weeks late but sooooo lovely. We almost put away our soil-saving snowshoes... until we took them off and found the soil still too wet in the very next garden we visited. So we kept them on to keep cutting, spreading slow release organic fertilizer and assessing damage, then wrote up reports on as much of that as we could fit here.
Tomorrow we will be able to begin edging, weeding and dividing in the warmest and best drained gardens on our beat. We hope you enjoy your weekend and find a few answers here about what can be cut back, how far, what's up with the lawn, how to fix snow-bent arbs and what to expect from the winter burned plants.
We've assembled an answer team to field questions in real time on the GardenAtoZ.com Forum. If you or someone you know has a question or puzzle, Saturday, April 26 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. is a great time to go out with that smart phone, take a photo and post it on our Forum for a right-now answer.

12 Legitimate Reasons for Initial Pivot Inversion
The In-version vs. the Out-version of pivoting
[r/ultimate questions and commentary on this article here]
Probably my biggest pet peeve in the game, even bigger and more profound than my disdain at the pervasive epidemic of grotesquely horrible throwing mechanics in the game (left) is the overwhelming propensity that players have for initially pivot away from their team's core and towards the sideline when they first catch the disc. [note: questions and commentary about flawed mechanics here]
My experience is that the outward pivot is so detrimental to a team's success that when I coach, I make the outward pivot a turnover just to enforce the idea that there is a different approach. It's not that one way to pivot is correct and the other one is wrong, but the overwhelmingly lopsided disparity between the usage of the two pivots is a fundamentally flawed imbalance. 99% of players, in 99% of situations, in 99% of games, on 99% of teams pivot to the outside when they catch the disc. No where else in sports do you have this level of lopsidedness, especially in light of the fact that it is far more advantageous to invert the initial pivot as opposed to pivoting outward.
Whether you decide the spread should strategically be a 50/50, 70/30 or 40/60 ratio or whatever, having a 99/1 ratio makes your offense highly predictable (and makes the game boring as crap). Additionally, pivoting inward on the initial pivot is not only superior on a dozen different levels, but it doesn't detract from the downfield play that the outward pivot provides. In other words, not only are there 12 legitimate reasons to invert the initial pivot as opposed to the out-version, but the inversion of the initial pivot doesn't negate the down the line pass and in fact makes it more potent by facilitating superior throwing mechanics, it provides better balance/vision and it neutralizes the marker far better than an outward pivot.
Pivot Inversion means this. There should always be a triangle between the player who threw the disc, the player about to commit an initial pivot and another player on your team. Most of the time, especially as your cuts are to the right or left sideline, this triangle will be back towards the middle of the field, but not always. The inversion should be a pivot that is directed towards the interior of this triangle, not the exterior. However, sometimes, even near the sidelines, a triangle can be constructed where the interior of the triangle is towards the sideline and not towards the center. I realize this is confusing but too many people were assuming that inversion always means pivoting towards the interior and that is incorrect. It's almost always correct, but there are special cases where it is not so I want to make sure I'm not misleading people into a rule for inverting that isn't necessarily true.
Here are those 12 reasons to invert your pivot:
By inverting your initial pivot, you are naturally more balanced (physically).
Conversely, the standard or traditional initial pivot leads a player to be leaning out way over their non-pivot foot and be way off balanced (often leading to traveling infractions)
By inverting your initial pivot, you have far superior field vision as you are pivoting back into the field rather than away from it.
Conversely, the standard or traditional initial pivot gives the player a good view of the out of bounds area. Field Vision is limited to the sideline side of the field, the deep cutter and not much else. The thrower has gone "all in" with regards to putting all his eggs in one basket.
By inverting your initial pivot, the marker is forced to 'lay off' a bit in order to protect against the quick release back to the thrower and subsequent downfield give-go.
Conversely, with the standard or traditional initial pivot, the marker knows that the thrower is committed to the downfield throw and can come up and give a 'hard' mark and even commit a foul and have an effect on the throw.
By inverting your initial pivot, your throws will be more powerful, more accurate, have more distance, more consistency and accuracy. This is because with an inverted pivot, the body mechanics for the throw are far superior.
Conversely, with the standard or traditional initial pivot, because the weight is out way over the non-pivot foot, and the waist is completely opened up before the throw, the body mechanics are compromised.
By inverting your initial pivot, the prior thrower is kept as a prime option, thereby maintaining a more balanced attack offensively.
Conversely, with the standard or traditional initial pivot, the thrower is generally unavailable as an option for some time, making it a 7 (defenders ) vs. 6 (offenders) game for a bit. The irony here is that in general, the previous thrower is most often the one offensive player who is sure to be open. Don't be a cocktard.
By inverting your initial pivot, all six team mates (including the previous thrower), are all subsequently viable options for the thrower. Even if the throw doesn't go to any of the interior players, the defenders must honor the possibility that it might and guard against it.
Conversely, the standard or traditional initial pivot really only honors the downfield (or "continuation" ) cut so in sum the total defense is not being manipulated or controlled at all.
By inverting your initial pivot, the deep defender will be forced to defend both the left and right sides of the endzone (and in fact, deep defenders tend to over-guard the 'off' side of the end zone leaving the downfield side of the endzone more open (this may seem counter-intuitive, but I've seen this literally hundreds if not thousands of times)).
Conversely, the standard or traditional initial pivot sends the message to the deep defender that the throw is most likely going to be down the sideline and therefore they can commit to guarding against that.
By inverting your initial pivot, the previous thrower's defender is forced to cover the backfield or the penetration move tighter than he would like to.
Conversely, the standard or traditional initial pivot typically includes the previous thrower "clearing" which allows that defender to 'multi-task' during the clear process.
By inverting your initial pivot, the receiver requires fewer steps to stop. This is important in the sense that time is of the essence and energy is wasted on offense waiting for the thrower to get set. Inversion is therefore much more efficient than outversion.
Conversely, the standard or traditional initial pivot requires more steps to stop. This may sound like an opinion or theory, but again, this has been born out to be true over 10 years of observations.
By inverting your initial pivot, you're in a far better position to penetrate down the sideline after you throw.
Conversely, with the standard or traditional initial pivot, in order to have an explosive downfield move, the thrower would have to reset his balance in order to get 'back onto the starter blocks'. One could argue that the conventional pivot would allow a downfield penetration move, but it simply would not be as explosive as a move where the thrower is coiled and poised to accelerate.
By inverting your initial pivot, your team will experience far fewer turnovers.
Conversely, the standard or traditional initial pivot leads to more turnovers. When you pivot down the sideline, you are going 'all in' with your move. If you have an open receiver you're in luck, but if you don't, you've given the advantage back to the defense. However, if you have an open receiver, you'd still have that open receiver with an inverted pivot as well and chances are, he'd be even MORE open.
By inverting your initial pivot, your team will experience fewer injuries.
Conversely, the standard or traditional initial pivot, because you are doing less to manage or manipulate the defenders, you will incur more injuries
By inverting your initial pivot, you are NOT eliminating the deep downfield throw from your options. You can throw the same deep throw, to your same deep receiver with more distance, accuracy and power. You are simply inverting the pivot, nothing else is changed.
Conversely, the standard or traditional initial pivot does not include the 12 advantages and benefits above.
In summary, initial pivot inversion promotes better teamwork, superior body mechanics and far better balance (on all levels). This is not an opinion, it is a simple fact.
The 'In' version of the initial pivot not only has at least 12 distinct advantages vs. the conventional initial pivot, it also does NOT take away the downfield option!!

Jack is five years old and his entire world is an 11×11 Room filled with Wardrobe, Bed, Table, Rug, Plant, and Ma, until one day Ma hatches up a plan to escape Outside, and Jack's world gets a whole lot bigger.
It's not often you read an entire novel from the perspective of a five-year-old and not have it feel tired and unrealistic, but Room succeeds in crafting a well told story with developed characters from such a young perspective. It's also necessary to tell from Jack's perspective, as he has no knowledge of the outside world, and it makes Room's believability, nostalgia, and confusion work.
The first half of the novel, Jack and his mother are prisoners in Room, an 11×11 garden-shed-turned-cell, which has been soundproofed, reinforced, and hidden away. Jack, having been born in Room, knows nothing of the outside world and believes everything on TV is fake, his mother having made up lies to keep him happy.
The second half takes place after an escape plan, and Jack and his mother are now Outside, in the real world, and have to adjust to life in the expansive world. The second half was a lot harder to read, as the reader sees, through Jack's eyes, Ma going through quite a few changes and depression, and Jack's fear of the unknown and homesickness for Room. We see the criticism placed on Ma, the effects of growing up in Room on Jack, and just want them both to be happy and free, while knowing it will be some time before they are.
I did have some anxious moments while reading this, the thought of being confined to such a small space for so long a time making me feel claustrophobic and insane, and then the lasting damage and difficulty in returning back to normal triggered it once more.
Despite the harrowing messages and dreadful situations these characters were in, there's something to be said about a child's innocence and wonder, and reading from Jack's perspective was a nice refresher of what that can be. He and the reader go on the journey together, slowly understanding the story together, and braving (scraving) the outside world.
One minor problem I had was simply the method Jack and Ma used to escape: why risk so much, why put Jack in such terrible danger, is that really the only way? Why not just brute-force the keypad or throw some boiling soup on Old Nick's face? Surely, there are safer ways, even if it did all end up okay in the end.

California Abstract Pt.II
No one can deny the impact SamFrancis has made to the Contemporary non-objective abstract genre, his prolific body of work and well evolved styles firmly place him in Contemporary Art history. From his more serious amorphous shapes of the 1950's to his sophisticated colorful splatter works into the 90's he gives us a sense of confident impactful technique and emotion. I personally love his late 50's and early 60's works on paper and canvas.
Sam Francis, in full Samuel Lewis Francis, (born June 25, 1923, San Mateo, California, U.S.—died November 4, 1994, Santa Monica, California), American painter and printmaker who was prominent among the group of painters known as the second generation of Abstract Expressionists.
Francis studied at the University of California at Berkeley in 1941–43. He joined the U.S. Army Air Corps and was injured in a plane crash. During his lengthy hospitalization he began to paint to distract himself, and he was soon engrossed. He painted his first abstract compositions in 1947. From 1950 to 1957 he lived and worked in Paris, where in 1952 he had his first solo exhibition. While living there, he was influenced by the works of the Tachist painters and Jackson Pollock.
Francis's painting Blue on a Point (1958) exemplifies his lyrical and elegant approach during that period. His canvases typically present brilliant colours flowing in amorphous forms over unprimed canvas. He applied thinly textured paint with dripping and splashing techniques, creating areas of bright colour that formed powerful asymmetries. Together with artists such as Helen Frankenthaler, Morris Louis, and Joan Mitchell, Francis is generally credited with introducing a lyrical and sensual use of paint and colour to Abstract Expressionism. His 20-foot-long Basel Mural 1 (1956–58), with its rich blues, oranges, yellows, and reds and its evocative drips and splatters, seems positively jubilant. In the 1960s, perhaps in response to the minimalism then in full swing, Francis left much of his canvas unpainted, restricting his application of colour to the edges (Untitled, 1967), but he returned to a more lush and vibrant palette in the 1970s and '80s and helped define a California school of modern abstract painting. Francis also was a noteworthy printmaker and publisher, establishing in 1970 the Litho Shop, a facility for print artists, and in 1984 Lapis Press, dedicated to producing artists' books.

United Power Impact
Home » Issue Campaigns
HEALTH CARE VICTORIES & IMPACT
At the end of the 1990's, the United Power Health Care Team developed a three-part strategy to attack the problem of the uninsured: 1) expanded coverage, 2) more primary care capacity for the uninsured, 3) better enrollment in existing healthcare programs. The whole membership of United Power adopted this agenda and accomplished the following:
1. Health Insurance Coverage Expansions:
FamilyCare – The FamilyCare campaign succeeded in establishing the program in 2002, with an initial startup that offered insurance to about 30,000 people. The program was expanded each of the following three years, so that the eligibility level as of January 2006 is now about $35,000 for a family of four. The program now offers coverage to approximately 400,000 parents.
All Kids - Riding the political wave created by the success of FamilyCare, with United Power's support, the Governor created All Kids in 2006. All Kids created universal coverage for all children in Illinois. To date, there are over 1.6 million Illinois children enrolled in All Kids.
Young Adult Option - In 2008 United Power, along with our ally PACT (Public Action for Change Today), won the passage of the young adult option, which allows families to extend coverage of their dependent children to their 26th birthday, regardless of student status (or their 30th birthday if they are veterans). This coverage is important to the approximately 325,000 young adults 19-25 who are uninsured in Illinois.
2. Primary Care & Prevention -- Increased Capacity:
United Power won an annual line item of $2 million in state funds for capital projects for new, or expanded affordable community health centers accessible to all regardless of insurance status.
United Power was instrumental in creating the Stand Against Cancer, a $4 million state-funded program that promotes and pays for breast and cervical cancer screenings in black and Hispanic communities. The program promotes screening through churches and gives non-profit community health centers the resources to pay for screenings for uninsured women.
3. Enrollment:
United Power created the Gilead Outreach & Referral Center to promote and assist in health coverage enrollment in all programs and fought every year to keep it funded and operating. To date, the Gilead Center has connected more than 100,000 people to health programs or services.
In addition, the intense publicity around FamilyCare and KidCare created increased enrollments not only in those programs but also in the base Medicaid program (which covers the lower income families).
The Numbers:
86,000—additional KidCare enrollees
263,000—additional children in Medicaid
101,000—FamilyCare enrollees
100,000—additional adults on Medicaid
550,000—Total increase in publicly insured in Illinois 1999 - 2005
Recognition & Political Impact:
In addition to its enrollment work, United Power's Gilead Center has for the last 5 years issued an annual report on the status of the uninsured in Illinois. The Gilead report has become the definitive study in the state on the issue and has greatly increased both understanding and awareness of the problem of the uninsured in Springfield.
The Kaiser Family Foundation's annual rankings of the 50 states based on health coverage expansion had Illinois ranked in the mid-40's before United Power made healthcare its number one priority. In 2003, Kaiser ranked Illinois number one.
Finally, until the FamilyCare expansion, Illinois had left $150 million in federal healthcare funds that had been earmarked for Illinois unspent in DC. Now all funds are used to improve health care in the state.
Cook County Specialty Care Access:
In 2007, during a several Cook County budget crisis, United Power repeatedly and effectively defended access to free pharmaceuticals and specialty diagnostics and treatment at the Cook County Bureau of Health for uninsured patients being referred by private non-profit community health centers. This saved the patients countless hours of waiting in the emergency room and saved the county system huge amounts by preventing the duplication of medical tests.
Affordable Housing & Homelessness Victories & Impact
FIRST-EVER CAPITAL BUDGET FUNDING FOR HOUSING:
United Power's Housing Team researched and devised a campaign nearly three years ago to respond to a variety of housing problems and pressures confronting our member institutions in their communities: put affordable housing funding in the state's capital budget. After a long and hard-fought campaign, United Power won nearly $145 million for housing in the capital budget signed by Gov. Quinn on July 13, 2009. This victory is precedent-setting -- the first time Illinois has ever included housing in the capital budget. It also represents the single largest one-time appropriation for housing in Illinois' history. United Power's Housing Team will now work to see to it that these funds spent in strategic ways to address a variety of affordable housing needs confronting our diverse membership in communities across the county -- from foreclosure relief to affordable rental housing and affordable home ownership opportunities.
RENTAL HOUSING SUPPORT PROGRAM: In partnership with United Power member the Chicago Coalition for the Homeless, United Power leaders fought for and won a $30 million state-funded rental subsidy program that would help improve the lives of more than 5,500 very low-income families. A bill attaching a small $10 fee on real estate documents filed with County Recorders of Deeds passed the legislature and was signed by the governor.
LINCOLN PARK COMMUNITY SHELTER: In 2006 and 2007, United Power worked closely with the Lakeview Action Coalition to defend the Lincoln Park Community Shelter from a vigorous effort by a small group of neighbors to shut the shelter down. United Power, working with local leaders, organized a vigil of more than 600 supporters and turned out hundreds to City Hall zoning hearings. The Shelter won the required zoning variance to remain at its current site and rehab and upgrade its facility.
EZRA COMMUNITY HOMES: United Power created a construction fund and built 100 affordable single-family homes for working families in the Lawndale community on Chicago's West Side on land left vacant since the 1960's.
BREAKING THE CYCLE OF HOMELESSNESS: United Power did pioneering work to highlight and address the issue of homelessness in suburban Chicago. By creating the Breaking the Cycle of Homelessness demonstration program, United Power delivered more than $2 million in federal funds to a collaboration of city and suburban homelessness providers.
DEBORAH'S PLACE: In 1997 and 1998, United Power worked closely with the Lakeview Action Coalition and St. Alphonsus Catholic Church to win zoning approval of a new residential program for homeless women to occupy the church's vacant convent. Deborah's Place and United Power blunted NIMBY opponents and rehabbed the building. The facility has been operating quietly and effectively without complaint since that time.
VICTORIES & IMPACT ON Other Issues:
CHICAGOANS AND ISLAM: In reaction to the tragic terrorist attack of September 11, 2001, United Power organized an opportunity for our members to reach out and relate to the greater Islamic community in metro Chicago at a moment of great isolation, suspicion, and fear. On November 18, 2001, nearly 4000 Chicago Muslims and Chicagoans of other faiths gathered to build relationships and hear directly each other in one-on-one conversations about their respective faiths and about their reactions to the terrorist attacks. This metro-wide gathering inspired five more local gatherings around the region of 300 to 500 people each over the ensuing several months.
ILLEGAL GUNS / GUN SHOPS: United Power leaders from city and suburbs collaborated on a campaign to target the source of many of Chicago's illegal guns that are collected by police across the region at crime scenes. Due to this campaign, Bell's Gun Shop in Franklin Park was shut down in September 2006 and remains closed.
CHARITY WITHOUT FEAR: In partnership with The Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights and the Council of Islamic Organizations of Greater Chicago, United Power pushed for the passage of a state resolution that mandated the creation of a list of acceptable charities so that Muslim leaders, in accordance with their faith, could contribute without fear.
JUSTICE FOR JANITORS: United Power worked with the Service Employees International Union to win family health insurance benefits and a wage increase for suburban janitors. The campaign successfully secured health insurance benefits for 4,500 families.
CIVIC ENGAGEMENT: United Power success in organizing thousands across the region and developing new leaders has inspired important new organizing efforts around the region. Lake County United and DuPage United, independent sister organizations to United Power, were founded with United Power support in 2003. In 2005, again with United Power support, PACT (Public Action for Change Today), a new young adults organization, was founded. All four organizations now in the metro Chicago region are taking action on important justice issues, building and supporting vital congregations and other institutions, and training and developing new leaders.
