First feasible time to colonize the moon
The first man on the moon was there on July 20th, 1969. After December of 1972, there has not been a person on the moon since. But, what if the missions to the moon had kept on going? By what time could we reasonably had a permanent habitat there. A quick search turns up a lot of questions that say that we could have had a moon base by now, given that the economic need was there. What if the cooperation between the Soviet Union and the United States on space flight hadn't happened? Surely the next step after a man on the moon would've included some sort of habitat there?
I'm not talking about full-scale cities and the likes, but a simple habitat like the one used in the The Martian movie. So basically a couple of modules/pods that are connected together to make an expandable habitat. And before anyone asks, no, I'm not intending to have my characters plant potatoes on the moon.
Eventually it would grow from the research habitat described above to a more permanent settlement there. There needs to be something to get there that's hard to get elsewhere. It might be Helium-3 for fusion purposes, or as a hub for space travel (go from Earth to the moon, then board a larger ship and continue on towards Mars, Venus or the outer planets).

$\begingroup$ Point of fact: twelve people landed on the moon over six trips. The last in December 1972. $\endgroup$ – user25818 Feb 20 '17 at 22:00

One of the original plans had the Apollo missions create a moonbase core for full time 12 person occupation in 1980; though even that wasn't the first plans as there was Project Horizon and Lunex. Clearly if the desire and perceived necessity was there then the first permanently occupied lunar base could have happened with Apollo 11. Once it was decided that the direct and overt militarization of space wasn't the goal (so no setting off nukes to study the moon/impress people) then 1980 was the stated goal for a permanent presence on the moon.
Now it should be noted that colonization is rather different than having a permanent presence on the moon. The permanent presence would be similar to having a permanent presence in Antarctica or the international space station. To actually colonize the moon the problems of living in the micro-gravity of the moon (even to the point of knowing what those problems are in the short and long term) would need to be answered.

Building a habitat probably could have been done pretty early on, say the mid 1970s. The technology is not that different to what you need just to get there, just larger in scale.
The REAL problem though, is maintainance. Moon dust is notorious for getting in everything and being massively abrasive. To this day it isn't clear if we have seals which could deal with it long term.
Lunar dust is charged, so it tends to be electrostatically attracted to everthing. It isn't weathered, so it's sharp and wears out anything it sticks to... which is everything. Breathing it in is incredibly hazardous.
So you'd need positive pressure airlocks and probably charged sacrificial dust attractors. Both certainly seem doable with 1970s technology, but who can say for sure? We still don't really have a way of dealing with it, but then again we haven't really tried.
Alex StasseAlex Stasse
$\begingroup$ Wouldn't the charged part be relatively easy to fix though? Just put a reverse charge on the habitat and you're done? I mean, if it wasn't all charged the same it would lump together and lose it's charge no? $\endgroup$ – Xudonax Feb 21 '17 at 6:10

Unist'ot'en claim to have found these stone tools on a site Coastal GasLink is preparing for a construction camp near Houston B.C. (Facebook photo)
Coastal GasLink stops work to investigate archaeological find
OGC archaeologists are en route to the Houston-area site where Unist'ot'en report finding stone tools
Thom Barker
Feb. 15, 2019 12:00 p.m.
Coastal GasLink has suspended preparatory work on a construction camp site near Houston due to a Unist'ot'en claim of a "significant archaeological finding" on the site.
Last night the Unist'ot'en Camp issued a release reporting the stoppage: "On February 13th, 2019, two stone tools were recovered from the construction site of Coastal GasLink Ltd.'s (CGL) proposed man camp, Site 9A, marking a significant archaeological discovery that indicates a longstanding and continued tie between the Wet'suwet'en people and their ancestral territories. Coastal GasLink is legally obligated to stop work in order for a full archaeological assessment to be conducted."
In a statement issued this morning, the company confirmed the work stoppage.
"On being notified, Coastal GasLink took immediate steps to cordon off and protect the area and requested that a qualified archeologist visit the site," the release stated. "The Oil and Gas Commission (OGC) will also visit the site to further investigate the claims."
The Unist'ot'en continue to insist that a proper archaeological assessment was never undertaken and despite the issuance of permits and a more recent statement by the Environmental Assessment Office that the company was in full compliance.
READ MORE: Coastal GasLink warned by EAO
The Feb. 14 Unist'ot'en release cites the Heritage Conservation Act as an overriding authority to the permits and condemns CGL for not completing on-the-ground studies.
The company's statement today admits this was the case.
"Unfortunately, during the regulatory and permitting process, CGL and its archaeologists were not able to access the 9A site due to road access issues and were therefore unable to conduct onsite fieldwork," it stated.
However, CGL maintains it did its due diligence with its archaeological impact assessment (AIA) saying, "experienced licensed archaeologists from northern B.C. assessed the potential for artifacts at the site. The assessment determined low potential and no further work was required. The AIA was approved by the BC Archeology Branch in 2016.
"There are no known archaeological sites registered within 2,000 metres of the site, which was selected by CGL because of it being a previously disturbed area. The site in question was previously cleared and used as part of forestry work."
If confirmed as a heritage site, the Unist'ot'en see this as a game-changer.
"The Unist'ot'en have made it clear that this site has been occupied and used continuously since time immemorial, up until Coastal GasLink bulldozed our trapline in the first stages of clearing the site," the Feb. 14 release said.
"This oral tradition has now been reaffirmed with material evidence. We call upon the relevant authorities to immediately stop all work in this area. Permitting any further industrial activity would constitute a clear violation of both Wet'suwet'en and Canadian law."
Lannea Parfitt, a spokesperson for the B.C. Oil and Gas Commission, confirmed that archaeologists are en route to the site to conduct an investigation.
"In response to the [Unist'ot'en] complaint, an Oil and Gas Operations officer and senior archaeologist from the BC Oil and Gas Commission, along with appropriate archaeological support staff from the Archaeology Branch, will travel to the area on Feb. 15, to conduct a site visit under the Oil and Gas Activities Act," she said in an email.
Nevertheless, she did say that the company is not in violation of its permit.
"We take this seriously," she wrote. "We can confirm an Archaeological Impact Assessment (AIA) report was reviewed and accepted by the Province's archaeology branch in September 2016, and that Coastal GasLink has met the requirements of its OGC permit and determined they are in compliance."

Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade has ruled himself out of Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks at AmericanAirlines Arena.
It will be the fourth consecutive game that Wade will have missed because of the strained left calf he sustained during the first quarter of a Feb. 17 victory in New Jersey.
"Tomorrow is out of the question," Wade said after taking a limited role in Friday's two-hour practice. "I'm just not ready yet."
The seventh-year guard was not as quick to rule out a potential return in Sunday's game against the Orlando Magic at Amway Arena.
"The only thing I'm going to do (Saturday) is come in and get some more work in, a great workout in before the game, and continue to see how it feels," he said. "Then, Sunday, I'll do the same thing, see how it feels. I'll decide what I can do with my body."
He said a return in measured minutes is a possibility, but that he would prefer to make a full-scale return.
"I know that Coach would be willing to not play me as many minutes," he said. "But, at the same time, that never works. So I want to make sure it feels right.
"I know it won't be tomorrow."
Wade worked during two separate segments of today's practice.
"He practiced about 25 minutes yesterday. He probably went about 45 minutes, roughly, today, so it was good," coach Erik Spoelstra said of the Thursday and Friday sessions, Wade's first work with the team since hobbling off the court at the Izod Center. "He was in it today, but just not for extended, not the whole practice.
"But the first part of practice was all full-court, the part he was in was semi-live. Then, when we went to half-court, he was full speed."
Asked about a possible Wade return Sunday, Spoelstra said, "I think that's probably too early to determine."
Point guard Rafer Alston, who also has been sidelined since that victory over the Nets, with a bruised right hand, worked with the first team for a second consecutive day, poised to return Saturday against the Bucks.
"I'm definitely going to play," Alston said.
Spoelstra said Alston "probably" would start, before adding, "but I'll still give it some thought."
Carlos Arroyo has been starting in place of Alston, but likely would return to a third-string role, behind Mario Chalmers, with an Alston return.
Alston said he worked the past two days with Daequan Cook as the first-team shooting guard. Cook is coming off a 4-of-13 shooting performance, including 0 for 5 on 3-pointers, in Tuesday's 91-88 home loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves, missing a potential game-tying shot at the final horn.
Alston said with Wade out, he would take a more aggressive approach in attacking the rim, a facet the Heat has lacked in Wade's absence.

Happy Tuesday ya'll!!! I hope you all are having a wonderful start to your week! Today I am partnering with Bevello to get you all Valentine's Ready!! We want to give you all 20% OFF your purchase NOW through the end of February to get a special dress for Valentine's or vamp up your wardrobe for Spring!
Today's look with Bevello is the Show Me Your Mumu Josephine Bell Dress and how cute is this style?!?!? As many of you already know I am officially 20 weeks pregnant so I had to size up to a medium in this dress, but my typical size would be a small! Show Me Your Mumu is such a versatile brand and I love the flowy non-fitted designs of many of the styles (perfect for a growing little bump!). I joke with friends, but between Free People, Show Me Your Mumu and Lululemon align leggings I may not have to wear maternity clothes until the end of my pregnancy! Ok, so back to this dress…. it has a trendy and flattering choker neckline with a plunging back! I HIGHLY suggest these Commando Top Hat (sticky boobies is what I call them) and they last at least 25 wears (mine MORE) and work for anything that is backless or drapey front and a strapless bra won' t work!
I finished this look off with my Valentino Rockstud pumps and I have also found a GREAT DUPE HERE for these! I also thought a fun pink pair of Ray Bans would complete this look and make it a little extra 'sweet' for the upcoming pink and red holiday! I'm not gonna lie, my husband and I really don't celebrate Valentines ( I know a little taboo for a blogger), but right now my idea of the best date night is one at home by 8pm on the sofa watching television and cuddling on the sofa with my husband and this little bump! However, I always want an excuse to buy a fun flirty dress or top and so I have created a fun boutique full of looks for Valentine's or whenever from Bevello you can get 20% OFF with CODE: BVEHOLLYBOYD through the end of February!

HIT CHANNEL EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: July 2016. We had the great honour to talk with a legendary musician: Ray Thomas. He is best known as a founding member, flautist, singer and songwriter of the Moody Blues. He recorded backing vocals on "I Am the Walrus" and played harmonica on "The Fool on the Hill" by The Beatles. In the '70s he released two solo albums ("From Mighty Oaks" and "Hopes Wishes and Dreams") in collaboration with Nicky James. Last year, Esoteric Recordings released the 50th Anniversary re-mastered edition of "The Magnificent Moodies" debut album of the Moody Blues. Read below the very interesting things he told us:
Are you happy with the 50th Anniversary re-mastered edition of "The Magnificent Moodies" album?
To tell you the truth I haven't already listened to it. I think it's fine.
Why the first line-up of the Moody Blues didn't last long?
Denny (ed: Laine –guitars, vocals) wanted to go solo and Clint (ed: Warwick –bass) didn't want to go on the road anymore, because he had a family. So, that's why it didn't last so long.
When your new solo album will be released?
Oh, that's the big question. I don't know. Some tracks are finished, I suppose. I have to do some more recordings, a little of guitars…
In the '70s you recorded two solo albums with Nicky James. Was it a liberating experience to record those albums outside the Moody Blues?
It was great, absolutely great. Nicky James –he is dead now- and I, worked really well together. We had our own studio with the Moody Blues and Derek Varnals (ed: producer, engineer) was on our staff, and it was absolutely fabulous to have complete control of it.
When you finished the recordings of "Days of Future Passed" (1967) had you realised that you created a revolutionary album?
We were quite friendly with the guys from The Beatles. They came out with the "Sgt. Pepper's" in our house and then when we finished "Days of Future Passed" we needed their advice and we played it to them and they were impressed too. I mean, "Sgt. Pepper's" was a bit made itself, whereas "Days of Future Passed" I think was more of a concept album.
How important was the role of the producer Tony Clarke in the Moody Blues recordings?
Oh, he was absolutely top-notch. Tony was putting his neck on the line with "Days of Future Passed". He was staff producer for Decca and they wanted us and Peter Knight (ed: conductor, arranger) to do Dvorák's "New World Symphony" and we turned it into "Days of Future Passed". Decca didn't know anything about it until it was finished. They had a meeting, they played it and they said: "Who's gonna want to buy it?" Fortunately, a guy from the States was there, called Walt Maguire. He was the head of London Records, which was Decca America and he said: "If they don't want it, I certainly do. This is going to blow up our sales in the States". So, that's how it got released.
What influenced you to write the great song "Legend of a Mind" (from the Moody Blues' "In Search of the Lost Chord" album -1968)?
To be honest with you, it was a joke. I read a book by Timothy Leary and I saw the astral plane as the psychedelic colored biplanes that taking trips around the bay at seaside resorts. Back at the time, everybody was in spiritual things like the "Tibetan Book of the Dead" (ed: also Lennon's influence on The Beatles' song "Tomorrow Never Knows") and after reading that, I said: "Timothy Leary's dead / No, n-n-no he's outside looking in". And Tim liked it! I was quite good friends with Tim. He came to see us play at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles and he came backstage after it and he said: "Can I have a word with you, Ray?", so I said: "Yes". He took me outside and he said: "If you tell anybody I said this, I will deny it". He said: "That bloody song made me more famous than anything else that I did" (laughs). He was a really nice fella. He was just a mischievous Irishman. He was an anti-establishment guy.
You had some problems with a New York Times reporter when he died.
Oh, the thing was when Tim died everybody wanted to speak to me, you know (laughs). There was a woman from the New York Times and she said: "What drugs did you do with Tim Leary?" and I answered: "I never ever took any drugs with Tim and I never saw Tim take any drugs". She insisted and wanted me to dig up some dirt. I had just lost a friend. I told her: "Fuck Off" (laughs)! Now, you can just laugh with it.
Do you have any memories of your performance at the Isle of Wight Festival in 1970?
Oh, that was one of the biggest audiences I have played, probably the biggest audience we ever played. It was colossal. Viewing the audience from the stage was phenomenal. When they announced us, the warmth of the people was unbelievable. 600.000 people sent their laughing like a jumbo jet taking off. A long uproar, you know.
What is like to be probably the first rock 'n' roll flautist?
My grandfather gave me a flute when I was a young man. I never took any lessons on flute myself. The thing was the flute blends beautifully with the strings and the stuff on the mellotron. Have you heard the Moody Bluegrass? They sent me a copy when they released their first album. We have been covered by everything from reggae to punk. I wasn't really aware of them until I listened to it. I was so impressed with the incredible pickers from Nashville. I enjoyed the music, the songs and I sent them a note saying that I enjoyed it and I am really grateful for the great job they have done to our music. I sent: "The only one thing missing is my flute" and I sent them a little silver flute in a case. And when they did the second volume they told me: "We will do "Dear Diary". Do you want to play the flute on it?" I said: "Sure" and they sent me the track and fortunately it was in the same key. So I played those two flutes on "Dear Diary". I put those flutes on it and I sent it back and they sent me: "You are the first rock 'n' roll flute player. Now, you are the first bluegrass flute player" (laughs).
Is it flattering that Pete Townshend (The Who) is a huge fan of "On the Threshold of a Dream" (1969) album?
Yeah. I wasn't aware of that. Oh, that's great. I'm flattered.
Are you frustrated that the Moody Blues are not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?
No, not at all. I mean, there are people in there that shouldn't be in there. The thing was that going there, you authorize that. A lot of people think we should be in there.
Did you feel comfortable when the Moody Blues backed Tom Jones in the song "It's A Hung Up, Baby" on his TV show in 1969?
That was my idea. We wondered if Tom Jones suits in a band and we just did the guest singing with Tom. The thing is Tom has such a powerful voice –unbelievable- and we considered which way is gonna work. So, I simply said: "Why don't we just be the backing band and do the backing vocals?", which was great and that was what we did.
In 1983, Stevie Ray Vaughan opened 17 shows for the Moody Blues in North America. Do you remember that tour?
No I can't, to be honest. The thing is I did a lot of tours and they all start to merge into one.
How did it happen to play on The Beatles' songs "I Am the Walrus" and "The Fool on the Hill"?
Mike (ed: Pinder –keyboards, mellotron) and I –I said you that we were very friendly with The Beatles- went to the Abbey Road, the studio where they recorded and we did "The Fool on the Hill" and "I Am the Walrus". And that was one of my suggestions to put the harmonicas on "The Fool on the Hill" because I played the harmonica as well as a young man. They had plenty of harmonicas –big bass ones, big long ones and so on. It was George (Harrison), John (Lennon), Mike and me, we all grabbed a harmonica and we did the (ed: mimics sound) "won-won-woon". And it worked! Paul was on the desk in the control room. George Martin (ed: The Beatles producer) wasn't there at the time.
Were you surprised when The Beatles played you the "Sgt. Pepper's" album before its release?
Oh, we did! First of all, we heard "Rubber Soul" (1965) and they showed us the photograph from "Rubber Soul" when their photographer Bob Freeman printed it, and they said: "That's what we are gonna use". Brian Epstein (ed: The Beatles manager) managed us for a while too. He was a good man, a gentleman. There is nothing bad to say about Brian. The Beatles were always asking for our opinion, and we did the same with them. There was no backstabbing or anything like that in those days. We admired everything creative that was produced. They loved "Days of Future Passed" and we loved "Sgt. Pepper's", we loved "Tommy". In those days, there was a lot of creativity.
Did you get on well with Brian Epstein when he was the manager of The Moody Blues?
Oh yeah! Brian was ok. The thing was Brian was a gay and you weren't supposed to be in those days. He was in a love with a bullfighter, a Spaniard matador and so he was spending less and less time managing groups and more and more time with his boyfriend. We had a contract with him at a time we needed to do more work. He gave us our contract back, he wished us good luck and there was no backstabbing. We wanted to leave and he could have kept us working for him. He was a gentleman for the whole thing. There is nothing negative to say for Brian.
Is it true that when you toured with The Beatles, John Lennon told you: "Look at me" and he played a completely different song on guitar?
(Laughs) That was on the last tour they did. They said: "This is ridiculous, we do lovely songs and nobody hears a word of it!" because there was a lot of screaming and John said: "Watch this". The band was introduced, there was laughing and he played something completely different. And you couldn't hear it! You couldn't hear a goddamn thing!
Do you believe that popular music which was written in the '60s and '70s is much better than today's music?
I think so. I think there was more creativity back then than there is now. One major thing I think is different now is that new bands don't have any apprenticeship. We started to play in youth clubs, in pubs long before we went to theatres and if you don't do it, you can't learn it. There are bands that they put money into and it's like throw away cigarette lighters. They throw them away, after they don't bring any more money into. That's why you have so many one hit wonders now.
Had you ever met Jimi Hendrix?
Oh, yeah. We met him when Chas Chandler brought him over from the States. Chas was the bass player with The Animals. We used to go to a club called The Scotch of St. James and Chas brought Jimi in there. Jimi Hendrix got on stage and everybody used to go in these places, it was all bands, singers and musicians who frequented clubs: Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, half of the Stones, half The Beatles, Pete Townshend…
How emotional was to play again with John Lodge (Moody Blues –bass) on his last year's album "10,000 Light Years Ago"?
It was John who called me and he said that he had written a song about his grandson (ed: "Simply Magic") and asked me if I wanted to play some flutes on this song. That was alright. I have known John since I was 15 and he was 14. I haven't worked with John for years, but when we went in the studio, it was just like we were in there yesterday. John was singing and was playing guitar. I played the bass flute and the C flute. John said it was fine. We did the whole thing in an afternoon. We had a great time. It was really, really pleasurable.
A huge "THANK YOU" to Mr Ray Thomas for his time and to Billy James and Lee Thomas for their valuable help.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg: My male colleagues didn't really understand the Hobby Lobby case
Scott Kaufman
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is interviewed on July 31, 2014.
Speaking with Katie Couric on Yahoo Global News, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said that five of her male counterparts on the court have "a blind spot" when it comes to women's issues.
After noting that all three female justices were in the minority in the recent Hobby Lobby decision, Couric asked Ginsburg whether she "believed the five male justices truly understood the ramifications of their decision."
Following a long pause, Ginsburg said, "I would have to say, 'No.'"
"But," she added, "justices continue to think, and can change. So I'm ever hopeful that if the Court has a blind spot today, its eyes can be opened tomorrow."
"But you do, in fact, feel that these five justices had a bit of a 'blind spot'?" Couric asked.
"In Hobby Lobby?" Ginsburg replied. "Yes."
"Because they couldn't understand what it is like to be a woman?" Couric asked.
"They all have wives. They have daughters. By the way, I think daughters can change the perception of their fathers."
Ginsburg went on to note that her opinions on these matters are contained in her dissents, and that there is a tradition of dissents becoming "unquestionably, the law of the land."
In her scathing dissent in the Hobby Lobby case, Ginsburg noted that the majority's willful misreading of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act would have unintended consequences.
"Little doubt that RFRA claims will proliferate, for the Court's expansive notion of corporate personhood – combined with its other errors in construing RFRA – invites for-profit entities to seek religion-based exemptions from regulations they deem offensive to their faith," she wrote.
Earlier this week, in fact, the Satanic Temple declared that it would use the majority's interpretation of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act just as Ginsburg predicted groups would.

I will repeat the fieldset code 30 times so the band can enter a max of 30 gigs at once.
here is the php code:
$sql = "DELETE FROM gigtimes";

$weekday = $_POST['weekday'];
$day = $_POST['day'];
$month = $_POST['month'];
$year = $_POST['year'];
$venue = $_POST['venue'];
$location = $_POST['location'];
$time = $_POST['time'];

$rt=mysql_query("insert into guestbook(weekday,day,month,year,venue,location,time) VALUES      ('$weekday','$day','$month','$year','$venue','$location','$time')");
echo mysql_error();

So basically delete whats already on the database then update.
I'm just not sure how to go about the row ids? Could anyone explain.
Thanks,
Bettsy

A: I have a band like website in production, so I know your pain. One thing I do is insert the band name as well, so that way if the band wants to delete something, it searches for their name and deletes the field such as:
$sql = "DELETE FROM gigtimes WHERE band_name = '$band_name'";

It's not perfect, because in theory there could be multiple bands with the same name, so to prevent that, make band names unique. This works perfectly for me. Let me know if you need more information.

By Nick Viviani
Published: Nov. 20, 2020 at 3:06 PM CST
KENOSHA, Wis. (AP) - The Illinois 17-year-old charged with killing two people during a protest in Wisconsin has posted bail and been released from custody.
Kyle Rittenhouse posted a $2 million cash bond in Kenosha on Friday. Prosecutors accuse Rittenhouse of fatally shooting two people and wounding a third during an Aug. 25 protest against police racism and brutality in Kenosha.
Rittenhouse's attorneys insist he was acting in self-defense.
Some conservatives have portrayed Rittenhouse as a patriot who was exercising his right to bear arms to protect property. A legal defense fund for him has attracted millions of dollars in donations.

Young Actors to Bring 'Hamilton' Redux to Luther Burbank Center in Santa Rosa
Fans of Lin-Manuel Miranda's award-winning musical will be able to enjoy and sing along to hits like "My Shot," "Helpless," and "History Has Its Eyes on You."
By Matt Villano

What: Young Actors Studio presents "Hamiltunes"
When: Feb. 7-9 and Feb 14-16; Fridays at 7 p.m.; Saturdays and Sundays at 1 p.m. and 4 p.m.
Where: Luther Burbank Center for the Arts.
Tickets: $18 - $25; lutherburbankcenter.org.

The Broadway hit musical "Hamilton" is coming to the Luther Burbank Center in Santa Rosa. Sort of.
In a show dubbed "Hamiltunes," members of the local Young Actors Studio will perform 16 songs from the popular musical over two weekends. The show, which premieres tonight at the Left Edge Studio Theatre, will feature a cast of 17 local children ages 9 to 15.
Fans of Lin-Manuel Miranda's award-winning musical will recognize all the songs, which are expected to include hits like "My Shot," "Helpless," and "History Has Its Eyes on You." The cast will be dressed in period clothing and will act out parts of the scenes preceding and following each number, which will also incorporate dance choreography.
"It really takes you on a ride with fresh, fun, and witty rapping that everyone loves to sing," said Director Katie Kelley.

The young actors auditioned for "Hamiltunes," just like professional actors, and have been rehearsing four times per week since early January. They will control the show's progression, transitioning in and out of numbers and providing context for each song. On occasion, a slide with words or images from the original musical will appear on the wall behind the stage as a way of advancing the plot.
The show runs about 75 minutes with an intermission, featuring eight songs in each act. Because the Left Edge Studio Theatre seats roughly 70 people on four rows, audience members will be close to the action.
In selecting which "Hamilton" songs would make the cut for "Hamiltunes," Kelley used several different criteria, including which tracks were most popular among the general public, which ones the kids nailed in auditions, and which were her personal favorites.
Oh, and in case you're wondering: none of the songs have explicit lyrics like they do in the original.
The idea behind "Hamiltunes" evolved over the past few years. Argo Thompson, Artistic Director of the Young Actors Studio, had noticed that many kids, who were auditioning for other shows, would sing songs from "Hamilton." Together, Thompson and Kelley decided to leverage this passion and create a show that featured songs from the popular musical.
So why is it that "Hamilton" seems to resonate so deeply with kids?
"Hamilton's story is one many people can relate to," explained Kelley. "He was a just a normal guy, who rose to prominence. He came from nothing and accomplished so much. Kids are told almost every day in school that with enough hard work and ambition, anything is possible. Hamilton's legacy inspires people to follow what they believe in, and it brings forward [many of] the conversations that are still relevant today: immigration, equality, women's rights, and so on."
Both directors added that the show's hip hop-style music tends to resonate more with young people than traditional musical theatre treatments. For this reason, Thompson said he expects the audience to sing along. So get ready to be entertained while exercising those vocal cords — don't throw away your shot.

This is cultural appropriation at its worst. Puerto Rican author has no place stealing narrative of our nations founders. Bash on Spain if you must but leave Hamilton alone, he doesn't belong to you.

He (LMM) is telling a story not stealing a narrative. Give me a break!

Nothing fancy here, just comfort food done right
Young Kwak
The Moon Burger is a crowd favorite at Moon Time.
Browne's Tavern While "tavern" may not be the first word that comes to mind when describing the feel of the charming, brick-colored Victorian housing this Browne's Addition eatery, the steampunk-inspired décor inside — including a wall of open books attached by the cover, framing a taxidermied bear head — lends to the menu's eclectic approach, ranging from burgers to pasta and salads.  1924 W. Pacific Ave., Spokane • Wash. • 315-9934
The Globe Under new ownership, The Globe underwent a massive overhaul in 2015, with only the tin roof remaining untouched. The revamped menu is an assortment of gourmet bar food with appetizers like crispy green beans and housemade pork rinds. Fork-and-knife plates feature Cougar Gold mac and cheese or a pear and Gorgonzola steak salad, or grab a handheld, like the Globe's signature steak sandwich with sautéed mushrooms, caramelized onions, hickory bacon and roasted sherry pepper sauce.  204 N. Division, Spokane • Wash. • 443-4014
Moon Time Moon Time isn't located in the heart of Coeur d'Alene's bustling Sherman Avenue. And that's part of its charm. This is where in-the-know locals come for a relaxed, English-style pub experience, replete with a deep beer, cider and wine menu and exceptional pub grub like the Mediterranean Lamb Burger or the Cajun Ravioli.  1602 Sherman Ave., Coeur d'Alene • Idaho • 208-667-2331
O'Doherty's Irish Grill "Stop on by. Stand on the bar. Sing a Song. Be someone important," is the motto behind O'Doherty's Irish Grille, founded in 1992 by Tim and Sam O'Doherty. Since then, the Irish pub has become one of Spokane's most lively, and more Irish, drinking spots.

Learners in Eastern Cape still walking 20 km to school
15 000 learners eligible for scholar transport are not getting it because the Eastern Cape has no budget.
by Ground Up
By Mkhuseli Sizani on GroundUp
Next year the number is set to rise to 37 000 learners without scholar transport.
Some learners are walking 20km a day to attend school. As a result, school dropout rates are high.
Grade 11 learner Sinethemba Nkululeko wakes up daily at 3am to walk ten kilometres from his village to school in Willowvale, Eastern Cape. At 3:10pm he walks the ten kilometres back home. He is one of 15 000 learners in the province who are eligible for scholar transport but are not getting it, because there is no budget.
Responsibility for school transport was moved from the Eastern Cape Department of Education to the Department of Roads and Transport in 2011. According to Unathi Binqose, spokesperson for the provincial department of Roads and Transport, about 140 000 learners are in need of school transport, but currently 125 000 are being transported. Binqose said even this number is stretching the department's budget.
Binqose said that the department has to cut costs on events, travelling and accommodation for its employees in order to pay for scholar transport. Next year the department will only have budget to transport a bit more than 100 000 learners, leaving over 20 000 more learners without transport.
This means over 35 000 learners will likely be without school transport next year.

Long walk to education
Teachers in rural areas are worried that their schools might shut down because the learner numbers are dwindling every year due to the high rate of school dropouts.
Seventeen-year-old Sinethemba goes to LM Malgus Senior Secondary School in Willowvale. "Since 2020 there has been no scholar transport here. I wake up at 3am everyday because I walk about 10km from Zenzile Village to get to school. I leave my home at 4am and it is very dark in winter. For safety, I walk with my two classmates. We cross the rivers and walk through the thick bushes. Then we arrive at school at 6am for morning classes.
"By 3:10pm the school closes and it is another 10km back home. I get back home about 5pm. Then I have to go to the river and fetch the water to wash my school uniform, bath and cook. I also have to collect the livestock and still do my homework. Then at 9pm I go to bed and sleep. But in the classroom sometimes it's hard to concentrate because I feel tired."
His classmate Luzuko Bohlo, 20, from Bikana Village also complains about the distance. He said, "I wake up at 4am and then go to school at 5am. Our school shoes are worn out in a few months. This is my third pair of shoes. Sometimes we wear gumboots because we walk in wet places. Most of the time we don't finish our homework at home because we are tired."
"On wet days we stay at home because there is no way we can concentrate in classrooms while our clothes are wet."
School principal Manelisi Mtshizana spends sleepless nights worrying about his school. "We have a huge dropout of learners because of the lack of scholar transport. When I arrived here in 2017 the number of learners was 172 and it has dropped to 103. I had to allow the matric failures to repeat the whole year in order to keep the school going. The matric pass percentage then was 13℅. But last year it was 50℅.
"I have 30 learners who travel 20km daily to school. Next year the number of learners who need transport will increase to more than 60, because I will be receiving new high school learners,"
he said.
"Since February I have been in and out of the department's office asking for scholar transport because my 30 learners couldn't come to school on wet days."
"Last week the department promised that it will organise transport, only for 35 learners,"
In Xhora Mouth in Bulungula Village learners walk long distances to get to Zwelenqaba High School in Thafalehashe Village.
Bulungula Incubator Vibrant Village manager Lihle Mbikwana told GroundUp that learners walk four hours a day. "As a result many learners quit school when they reach high school because they can't cope with the long distance."
"In 2009, while I was still a learner we were promised scholar transport. But until today that has not happened."
Mbikwana says some parents rent rondavels for their children near Zwelenqaba High School. "They pay between R150 and R500 a month, depending on the quality of the rondavel. But this is not helpful because there are no strict rules in these rondavels. Sometimes a girl and a boy share the rondavel and this leads to teenage pregnancy," he said.
Malibongwe Mtima spokesperson for the provincial education department referred all questions to the Department of Roads and Transport, which he said had been managing scholar transport since 2011.
Binqose said school transport was only a temporary solution anyway. "I still remember when I was an SABC journalist in 2015 a call was made by government that boarding schools should be built in order to cut the transport costs and minimise scholar transport accidents. But no department was given the task of building the boarding schools," he said.

CHP leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu claims that a new coup attempt is unlikely to happen in Turkey but speculations about the threat are being used to justify crackdown on rights and freedoms.
MOSCOW (Sputnik) – A new coup attempt is unlikely to happen in Turkey but speculations about the threat are being used to justify crackdown on rights and freedoms, Turkish opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu told Sputnik on Tuesday.
"Speaking about the threat of re-occurrence of the coup attempt, I believe that there is no such risk now. At the same time there are forces interested in creating and supporting an illusion of such a threat in the Turkish society in order to have an opportunity to use repressive methods further," Kilicdaroglu said.
He also said that the Turkish government may have known about the July attempted coup in advance.
According to the Turkish justice minister, a total of 32,000 military officers, high-ranking civil servants, judges and teachers suspected of being Gulen's supporters have been arrested in Turkey after the failed coup attempt.

Thanksgiving always makes me pause to review the year, where I am in my intentions, what has been experienced and where I want to be. No matter how the twelve months since the previous Thanksgiving have been, I'm invariably left brimming with gratitude. It is my favorite holiday because it is all about appreciating our lives just as they are and for the gifts we've been given in the form of family and friends. Cultivating gratitude is the genesis of happiness.
This year is particularly poignant. There is currently so much strife, heartache and hate mongering in the world that even the simplest of blessings stands out in stark contrast.
While struggling to make sense of the many horrific happenings, I've been naturally gravitating to nature. Long walks amongst the fading autumnal vegetation have become mainstays. With the seasonal garden tasks all addressed, I've moved indoors to get amaryllis and paperwhites started. The Schlumbergera ( Thanksgiving/Christmas cactii) are beginning to bloom and have been placed to advantage. Nothing like a shot of fuchsia to liven up the days of low light. The orchids in bloom uplift my spirit by bringing up memories of joyous days with family in Singapore this past July. Flower power is a very real thing.
In the kitchen, meals rich in autumn's bounty give comfort. Sweet and fragrant roasted root vegetables with thyme, carrot soup made silky with goat cheese, shaved Brussels sprouts with hazelnuts and roast grapes, saffron risotto with wild mushrooms, fresh pasta with garlic sauce, arugula and walnuts. So much delicious choice!
All of this points to the obvious. Nature will heal our hearts and soothe our tempers if we will only let it. After all, horticulture therapy has demonstrated its efficacy in helping those battling physical or mental illnesses. Prisoners have been transformed when charged with gardening responsibilities. Adults and children wounded by life experiences have gained confidence and a sense of self from growing a garden. When a person grows the food that feeds him and his family, a profound sense of accomplishment is born. Plants have long been used medicinally and cosmetically. Products that improve our lives gently.
Those of us who have are gardeners have always known to escape into the garden to work out problems, get rid of negative emotions, find solace from trying situations, gain inspiration when creatively blocked. I've yet to be let down by a timely dose of Nature. And I challenge you to find anybody who regrets having spent time communing with the natural world. The fact is that if you're busy in a garden, you learn to respect life and understand that we are each but a small part of a glorious whole. One's own well-being depends on the well-being of all living matter. It is as simple and as complex as that. And so, if you're busy in a garden, you have no time or energy to think or do anything horrid.
On my part, this season, I'm paying forward the joy I receive from plants. I'm forcing bulbs to give friends some holiday cheer, a promise of a young tree to be planted next spring to console a grieving neighbor – each year when it blooms will be cause to celebrate the departed loved one, a native plant seed starter kit for a young adult emerging from the fog of mental illness, batches of vegetable stew well seasoned with garden herbs to stock up the freezer of a dear one recovering from cardiac surgery and now on a salt free diet, divisions of choice plants from my garden for a novice gardener. Nature offers as many gifts as needed. Help yourself.
Happy Thanksgiving to you! May it be filled with blessings and plenty of laughter.
I'm quite taken with this style in garden design. It got the garden world's attention a little over ten years ago but has become a 'here to stay' type of style in the US more recently. Having been a long time fan of the Dutch nurseryman and designer Piet Oudolf, I've followed the emergence of his concept very keenly. Piet is best known for using bold drifts of grasses and herbaceous perennials that are selected for both color and structure. Indeed, his hallmark has often been referred to as the New Dutch Perennial Movement.
The overall effect is one that looks and feels very natural. There is an easy-going, informal ambiance in these gardens. And while Piet is widely acknowledged as the father of this new movement, if one digs deeper, one finds that the ideas are really not so new but Piet perfected it, Between the North American Prairies and the German plantsman Karl Foerster style in the very early 1900's, one can clearly see the principal influences of the current movement. It is plainly all about using rugged, hardworking perennials and grasses to create a modern, fresh look.
What I particularly like about this style is that not only does it look quite stunning and au courant, it utilizes common and largely native American perennials. The effect is harmonious and natural – which is in keeping with the move towards living more simply, organically and authentically. It is not fussy or overly structured. It feels right. Everyday plants such as Rudbeckias, Solidago, Verbena, Echinacea, Achillea, Eupotorium abound. The grasses being such a vast and diverse family, can be selected to suit taste and climate. Hence, to make such a garden is not only a matter of easily obtaining the plants but the cost can also be easy on the wallet.
The challenge lies in coming up with a planting scheme that appears to flow well and yet, bears some semblance of order. It is easy to go wrong and make it disheveled in appearance. My advice is to start simple and small. Work out the kinks and then expand the scheme. In Piet's own garden, he brilliantly contrasts the deliberate and thoughtfully created informality with the very orderly and well trimmed green hedges that enclose the garden.
I'm moving slowly towards this style. Sort of dipping my toes in this tide. I'm beginning to feel that I'll have to take the plunge soon. Over the years, I've been adding those aforementioned hardy natives. More grasses are needed – my hesitation is mostly because I'm not sure what will work for my garden and my preferences. I plan to do some major research in that area over the winter. The cool, ecologically sound factor of this type of garden beckons.
Check out Piet's work at the NYBG and the High-Line in NYC.
This past week, I made a personal breakthrough. I got major help with the bulb planting. This might sound irrelevant or inconsequential to most but to me, this is huge. All of the years I've gardened, I have operated on my self-imposed credo – My garden, my work. This, in my mind meant that I ( and family) must do all the "real" garden work myself. I cannot recall ever reading or being told such a rule but somehow, it was branded in my head.
And for the most part, it has been more than fine. The early years were fraught with big projects. Making a garden from scratch required a great deal of time and energy. I went about it quite happily and it never occurred to me to do otherwise. Then, motherhood happened. That, naturally made me adjust to the new lifestyle but fitting my responsibilities into it was not really difficult. I weeded during nap time, occupied my child with play in the garden while I took care of daily chores and generally balanced it all reasonably well. The bonus was that I got to share my love of all things outdoors with my daughter. She observed and learned as children are wont to do. And then I got to give ( she'll say forced) her some responsibilities in the 'family' garden. Ha!
However, in the course of those same years, my other interests and projects took off as well. Time was at a premium. Not willing to let any aspect of the garden give, I judiciously stayed super-organized and zealously stayed on top of all the chores. Actually, I did that with everything I had going on. I drove my family crazy on many occasions. However tired and over-committed I was, I pushed myself hard. I simply had to fulfill my own mandated list of ideas and jobs in the garden.
While I was forging ahead and succeeding in other endeavors, it was not only lack of time that lessened my gardening hours. The ugly head of Middle-Age reared. Aaaargh! Please tell me that you know what I'm talking about! The stiffness of the body on awaking each morning. The achy joints and muscles taking more time to heal. My knees and back are not what they used to be. Every task takes longer and some are downright painful. Yet, till this summer/fall, I persisted. Finally, the wisdom that comes with age (still middle-aged!) dawned. I needed help with the tasks.
But now these days are gone…. ?
Boy! Now I can truly relate!
I cannot imagine why I resisted so long. I think it felt that in getting someone else to do some chores in the garden, I was giving up autonomy or even saying I was not so capable. Yes, I realize now that it was all in my head and my thoughts were pure hogwash.
And thus, I got some good help with certain chores and got my 750 bulbs planted. I could not have got ready for 2 art shows and met some deadlines without that. There is no question that I'll continue to work hard in the garden. It is after all my passion. But it is such a relief to share the work so I can focus on the other equally important areas of my life. Feels good to have finally wised up.
Don't forget! The art exhibit at the Chappaqua Library is on till Jan 8. Do visit. A big thank you to those who came to the reception – I loved seeing you.
After that sudden freeze we had a couple of weeks ago, we are currently experiencing September-like temperatures. Methinks Mother Nature is teasing. Or maybe she is testing us?
It is hard to be enthusiastic about chores in autumn. There is much to do and after all that work, we are faced with short, cold days and long, even colder nights. So while the weather is still balmy, it feels only right to soak in the warmth and revel in the beauty of the season. The way the colors glow without ever seeming gaudy inspires and confounds the artist in me. I am eternally humbled by Nature's mastery.
Despite wanting to just sit outside, there really has been much activity in the garden. A great deal to tidy up, cut back, clean, prune and put away. The raking of leaves alone is a big task. It goes even slower when distracted by the richness of hues in the fallen leaves. The pots need to be emptied and cleaned; they get put away only when they're truly dry lest some mold or bacterium settles in to taint next spring's plantings. The very large pots, once cleaned, will be wrapped in plastic and then burlap so they can stay on site. Wisteria and fruit trees are pruned to a state of tidiness. Fall window boxes installed. The greenhouse is already harboring the tender plants – refilling the propane tanks used to keep the greenhouses heated becomes a weekly job from now till the spring thaw.
I have about 750 bulbs to plant and normally, I'd have got them into the ground by now. But with the soil still being so warm, I've postponed it till next week.
Yes, there is plenty happening in the garden. Putting it to bed is much more challenging than getting a 3-year old to sleep. More exhausting too. The only way to keep doing the hard work is to remind oneself of why we garden and what makes one a gardener.
Here is how I see it. To be given the chance to create a garden is a divine endowment. A calling even. It happens from within. Simply owning a piece of property does not a garden make. Look around – not every house has a true garden. Having the inner fire to make something of it is the first sign. And then, one surrenders to Nature. We make mistakes, fail repeatedly and still keep at it. We cannot distance ourselves from gardening. We are connected deeply. What a gardener gives, he gets in return. It is a beautiful, complex relationship – where each lets the other shine and thrive. It is built on forgiveness, constant nurturing, trust and love. Most importantly, there is room to grow individually. If you stop to think about this, you'll see what I mean.
Now in the autumn, while the gardener is clearing and cleaning up so the garden can rest, the garden in turn, is instructing on accepting change, preparing for the future with grace and bringing a self-awareness so we can become more of who we want to be. As I get rid of the detritus and debris from the garden, I consciously go inside of myself. To peel back layers that I thought I needed and instead begin to feel comfortable with my exposed flaws and vulnerabilities. To accept who I really am and take joy in that.
The bones of the garden are now more visible. Without adornment of flower or foliage, it lies naked in repose. All is as it should be. I too welcome the winter to spend in introspection and gratitude. Together we will emerge next spring – renewed and ready.
Pssst! I'm starting some amaryllis today to cheer me on.
Note: If you live in my neck of the woods, please be sure to see the Northern Westchester Artists Guild exhibit at the Chappaqua Library. Nov 8 – Jan 4.
I have two paintings in this show and would love to see you at the reception on Nov 8, 3:00 – 6:00 pm.

Mike Pence: What Are His Approval Ratings as Indiana Governor?
By	Jessica McBride
Updated Jul 16, 2016 at 3:30am
Indiana Governor Mike Pence is reportedly being considered for Donald Trump's running mate (Getty)
Indiana Governor Mike Pence's approval ratings in Indiana have dropped into the 40s in 2016 polling, which experts in that state largely attribute to his socially conservative positions on LGBTQ issues and abortion, souring women on his leadership.
Despite Pence's sodden popularity back home, Roll Call reported, through a source, that Pence, Indiana's governor since 2012, will be Donald Trump's vice presidential pick. Trump then confirmed the choice on Twitter, and the formal announcement of a Trump/Pence ticket was scheduled for July 16.
Pence is a governor (first elected in 2012), a former Congressman, and a former talk radio host. Trump was drawn by Pence's Capitol Hill experience, his "calm" demeanor, and their chemistry, Roll Call said. The Indianapolis Star says it has also confirmed the report that it's going to be Trump/Pence.
But what are Pence's approval ratings back home? Do Indiana voters think he's done a good job there?
Calling him "unpopular," Politico reported: "There are plenty of Republicans in his home state who would be glad to see him abandon his re-election campaign to serve as Donald Trump's running mate."
Pence's Approval Ratings Have Been in the 40s in Recent Months

A May 2016 poll showed that Pence's job performance approval rating in Indiana was 40 percent – way underwater, said the Indianapolis Star. More people – 42 percent – disapproved of his job performance than liked it, said the newspaper. Specifically, the newspaper reported:
About 40 percent approved of his job performance this time, while 42 percent disapproved. During last year's poll, 46 percent approved and 46 percent disapproved.
The newspaper added that the poll was "conducted by Christine Matthews of Bellwether Research and commissioned by Enterprise Republicans PAC, a group founded by former Angie's List CEO Bill Oesterle, who has been critical of Pence's conservative stances on gay rights and other issues." It was taken May 11-May 15, 2016.
In April 2016, another poll, sponsored by WTHR-TV and Howey Politics Indiana, "found Pence's overall job approval rating stands at 44 percent, while 41 percent of voters disapprove of him," said NWI.com.
NWI.com wrote:
Just 44 percent of respondents said Indiana is on the right track under Pence, with 45 percent believing the state is headed in the wrong direction. Even 29 percent of Republicans said Pence is leading Indiana astray, according to the poll.
Indiana Talks dug into the details of the May 2016 poll and reported that Pence was in "serious trouble," finding, "Fully one-third strongly disapprove of his job performance, while 22% strongly
approve. This strong disapproval level is a notch higher than the 31% in our June, 2015 survey at the height of the RFRA (Religious Freedom Restoration Act) controversy, although his 22% strong approval rating is higher than the 13% who strongly approved last summer."
Experts Say Pence's Record on LGBTQ Issues & Abortion May Have Hurt His Approval Ratings in Indiana

Why have Pence's approval ratings sunk so low in Indiana? Politico cites three reasons: Pence's support for the 2015 Religious Freedom Restoration Act, which "placed the state center stage in the culture wars" upsetting business leaders, an abandoned plan for a state-run news service, and Pence's obvious ambitions for higher office outside Indiana.
According to CNN, the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, which Pence signed, is "a law that allows Indiana businesses to cite their religious freedom as a legal defense." Civil liberty and gay rights groups argued the law could allow businesses to deny LGBTQ people services.
The Indianapolis Star said Pence signed new abortion restrictions into law "with a prayer," which might have hurt his polling further. According to NWI.com, the "Pence-enacted law" bars "abortion to pregnant women who learn their babies will be born with a genetic or physical anomaly."
Pence is a born-again Christian who met his wife, Karen, a school teacher, in church, The Indianapolis Star has reported. Both Pences are described by the Star as "deeply religious." The Pences have three children.
The Indianapolis Business Journal said in 2015 that Pence's stances on education were also hurting him, especially with college-aged women.
Pence's Approval Ratings Have Been Less Than 50 Percent Before

In 2015, Pence's job approval ratings as Indiana governor also sank below 50 percent, according to WISHTV.
The news site said the Religious Freedom Restoration Act was the moment that Pence's approval ratings started to slide:
Mike Pence started 2015 on a high. Amid speculation that he might run for President, he focused on matters close to home. But one of the things he focused on backfired: the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, or RFRA.
How big of a hit did Pence take? According to WISHTV, a 2015 Hoosier Survey showed:
"…just 47 percent of the people in Indiana like his performance. Thirty five percent disapprove of the job being done by Mike Pence."
Ball State political science professor Ray Scheele told the news site that "this is where RFRA — and some of the other issues that we've also polled on — show that Pence really got hurt." WISHTV said Pence's approval rating in 2014 was 62 percent, meaning that Pence's job performance rating with Indiana residents plummeted 15 points in a year.
In June 2015, The Indianapolis Business Journal reported that "Indiana voters favor ousting Gov. Mike Pence from office in the 2016 election, primarily over his handling of education and gay rights issues."
Mike Pence Was in a Tough Re-Election Contest For Governor & Women Favored His Opponent
Mike Pence's family is active and supportive of his political career. They will be a strong force in his life while he campaigns for Vice President. They've joined him on past campaign stops, made calls for him, and helped him get elected as governor of Indiana. In this photo, Mike Pence and his family attend the Indianapolis 500. (IN.gov)
Perhaps reflective of his low approval ratings as governor, Pence was fighting to hold onto his gubernatorial seat, which he will now give up to run as Trump's VP. The race is a rematch; Pence was squaring off against the Democrat he defeated by just three points to win the governor's office in 2012.
The May 2016 poll also showed that Pence was not facing a sure thing in his re-election bid for governor, with a 40-36 lead over the Democrat in the race, according to the Indianapolis Star. Pence's job approval ratings dropped from 46 percent in the poll the previous year, said the Indiana newspaper.
A different poll in April 2016 showed Pence leading his Democratic challenger John Gregg 49 percent to 45 percent, with 5 percent undecided, partly because women voters were breaking for Gregg, keeping the race very tight.
That WTHR-TV and Howey Politics Indiana poll in April found a gender gap with women preferring Gregg over Pence, "52 percent to 41 percent," said NWI.com.
