The most memorable poetry event of 2012: Geoffrey Hill reading in Ryland's library, Manchester. Hill, looking like an old Testament prophet, was self-deprecating and funny, 'Don't worry', he intoned, 'I'll probably only read for three or four hours'. He spoke to us as fellow poetry obsessives, and read his own work and that of other poets, giving a particularly vivid rendition of Lawrence's 'Bavarian Gentians'. It was an evening full of warmth and friendship, with a strong hint of the valedictory.
The best collection of 2012: no idea, of course, because I haven't read them all. Jorie Graham's caught my attention though, as someone on Hill's level, so to speak. I also really enjoyed 'The Ninjas' by Jane Yeh, which was exquisitily entertaining and funny. I skimmed the new Roger McGough in a bookshop and it looked really great, but it had been bought next day, and he's not fashionable, so I didn't go out my way to get a copy. And I'm still waiting for Simon Armitage's 'Black Roses: the Killing of Sophie Lancaster', which sounds really well written. I think you have to be really humble to be a great writer and I suspect Armitage, when he's not inflicting his prose on us, is a great writer, capable of profound imaginative sympathy, born out of a highly skilled but straightforward approach. I really liked 'The Overhaul' by Kathleen Jamie too, even if I do find her style, dare I say, a little bit too self-denying and worked on.
Most overrated books: 'The Salt Anthology of best British Poetry of 2012'. Boring, really, despite including Mike Haslam. You'd never guess we were in the middle of an important period of redefinition, like the 30s, 60s and 80s, from the poetry being written at the moment. Lots of good poems, of course, just few really valuable ones. 'Bevel' by William Letford (see below). Dark Film by whatisname (see below), though it spawned a remarkable review by John McAuliffe in 'The North'.

By Fits and Starts: A Beginners review of 'The Reasoner' by Jeffrey Wainwright
Jeffrey Wainwright's new collection, The Reasoner, is a study of epistemology and ontology, of how we know and the relationship between knowing and being. It makes these fundamental concerns concrete through the voice of 'the reasoner' in a series of 95 mainly short poems.
Unlike most contemporary poetry, it is concerned with knoweldge, thought and understanding. In a contemporary scene that is dumbing down and becoming more homogenised, this collection is an important example of what poetry can do.
Wainwright's style is painstaking, words from the world around us, from the mundane and familiar, are rolled around the poems, often in lists, gaining weight and significance:
the crucial kitchen-drawer always has
the wrong batteries, withered elastic bands.
Wainwright prefers a sort of hardness in the sound of his verse to soaring melody:
nothing rich like persimmon or lavender
(no sightless pansy or brash lorikeet)
but - a spade chunk of marl perhaps
And his frequent humour is ironic, even Northern and blunt:
Lucky fuck. That's me I mean. Fucking lucky.
but always with an underlying seriousness.
Think of the crab's outrage when it insists
'I am not a crustacean
I am a crab, and myself'.
I can't do justice to this collection without reading it closely ten times and producing a detailed academic review, and that's not the purpose of this blog - which is to share opinions and enjoyment, and encourage you to read the work itself. So I intend to begin at the beginning, go on a short way making comments and then stop.
The first poem introduces the reasoner, an unprepossessing bookish eccentric, who is also a kind of mediocre everyman, searching for a revelation of persistent reality:
I am one who would know,
and thus be happy
The seond poem questions the nature of a specific phenomena (a spiders web illuminated by a ray of light) and the problem of language, or more particularly, simile.
By looking at one thing am I missing another?
The third poem is a witty meditation on belief and life, which it is suggested is a struggle between doubt 'and so on/ and so on and so on'. There is something Beckettian in this painful vision of human life, trapped in the skull trying to make sense of things with faulty apparatus. At this point, Wainwright's style is heavily indebted to Geoffrey Hill, to the extent that a simulacra of Hill's voice is in danger of overtaking Wainwright's own very distinctive tone and set of registers. For instance, he uses abbreviations like Hill does 'circs.' for 'circumstances'. Its a mannerism that could be easily lost with no prejudice to the integrity of the poems.
The fourth poem touches on utopian hope: perfect understanding, both in the abstract and in a memory of Wainwright's youth in leftist circles in the North Midland potteries, when internationalists were keen on promoting esperanto. Wainwright suggests gently that beneath their pious idealism these internationalists were in fact Little Englanders out to spread the gospel of tea (and maybe teetotalerism) and cricket.
The fifth poem doesn't really hold just at this moment but I suspect the sixth is a comment on The Waste Land, as it partly concerns 'house agents' clerks'.
Poems six, seven and eight, all of which begin, as did four and five, with the phrase 'is our language complete?' play with the effects of language and question the relationship between signified and signifier, before returning to the spiders web, in a final metaphor which links expression with our species being: 'our creature tongue'.
The reasoner is at once trying to dispense with language and to use it to unload/ and exalt the mind'.
Exalt your mind by reading this collection several times.

The Dark Film by Paul Farley
If you want to get a flavour of this book, there's an excellent review on another blog which I have commented on which you might like to read
http://roguestrands.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/review-dark-film-by-paul-farley.html
There's no point in repeating what it says in the blog and the comments. I'd rather say what I think about Farley's poetics and look at what I believe is the best poem in the book, Cloaca Maxima.Farley in my view is a class act, but I find it strange that, nothwithstanding all the autobiographical poems in the book, I don't feel I really know anything about the guy. It's as if he's being too abstract and creating a strerotype of his own experience:
I'd look up to them looming on street corners,
or down on them through my bedroom blinds,
crashing home from the Labour Club, mad drunk
Yes, he tries to make it specific by mentioning his bedroom blinds, but this could be any literary story of growing up in the midst of working class families. It isn't half so specific as Roger McGough's tales of his Liverpool family or anywhere near as touching as Peter Sansom's on-going poetic chronicle of working class familial decencies in Nottingham. After reading McGough and Sansom I feel I know loads about them and their relatives, and share some of the sadness they feel about them, but something about the way Farley approaches the subject of his own upbringing leaves me cold.
Inner City Liverpool in the Late Sixties. Children swinging on a dead tree amongst rubble with new high rise council flats in the background.
On the other hand, Cloaca Maxima is a magnificent poem that plays to all Farley's profound rhetorical strengths. It records a moment - an epiphany - when the poet was a child and sewer jumping and suddenly understands the pain of preceding generations of labour, who created the place. I think it's a moving exploration of history and forgetting. Part of its appeal is the struggle of the poet to give expression to his compelling sense of human alienation in the process of labour i.e. the lives that most of our forebears forebore. Thus he writes about:
the pearlescent blind eye we need
to grow to keep the world under our noses
safely removed.The millions of mixed shades
are still running beneath our surfaces
and visible to those who just step sideways
For those of us with a working class hinterland, these are very profound words about how we experience contemporary life, apparently so cut off from the past and yet so dependent upon it.

Bevel by William Letford
There's a kerfuffle in the poetry world at the moment about William Letford's entertaining first collection, Bevel. The Guardian even referred to the collection's 'transcendental insight', though this was probably the work of a sub editor as it appeared on a strapline under the headline.
Amongst all this excitement, I hate to sound a note of caution. Bevel is being universally praised, but it is a flawed, though enjoyable and promising collection.
First, the good stuff. The Guardian review goes on to accurately describe his work as follows:
Letford's poetry, while it has the look of early experimental modernism – that William Carlos Williams/ee cummings thing – has the cadences and accents of ordinary, reported speech
Letford has a distinct voice and his work is memorable. Unlike the denser stuff in Roddy Lumsden's anthologies of recent poetry, Letwin opts for clarity. His short poems showcase brief striking images e.g.
The chapel on the hill has no roof. For five hundred years its four walls
have framed the universe. The locals laugh at the Sistine chapel
and call it the coffin lid
(In the mountains of northern Italy)
Now that is the whole poem in its entirety. I find it immediately striking, but also it makes me think about something familar (the Sistine chapel) in a new way, by incorporating a pithy local saying from a different part of Italy which isn't Rome.
Letwin is also very good at writing about doing the pleasures of physical labour because he's a roofer by trade. No one else can do this because most contemporary poets seem to work in academia or publishing.
On the other hand, he can be crass.
A blonde haired angel in a pair of red hotpants
Turns to give me a grin so wide
I know it's not for me.It's for the whole fucking world.
(A Bassline)
I'm sure us men have a tendency to experience the world primarily through our bell-ends, but when we grow up we realise this and try to stop speaking like complete dicks.
The shortness of the poems not only charms me, it bothers me because I'm not sure what else Letford has to offer other than these sudden - often randy - epiphanies. In a sense, he can be a metaphysical poet because he sees some of his poems as a kind of flirtation in which he ropes in all sorts of amazing scientific facts about the universe and applies them to a specific situation. There's no question that he has some genius, the problem is that he seems to be using it to say 'look at me, aren't I the fucking One and a Bit'.
Charming, striking, clever, different from the rest of the crowd, I shall certainly be buying his second collection in the hope that he can apply his substantial gifts to a more grown up set of subjects.

Odi Barbare by Geoffrey Hill
In The New Pelican Guide to English Literature (1995), Martin Dodsworth - in his essay on Ted Hughes and Geoffrey Hill - writes:
Hill is difficult because he says so many things at once.
It's interesting to reflect on the continuity this suggests between Hill's work before Canaan (1997) and his later obscure, condensed and allusive style. Certainly, the later work is as vital, as explosively cerebral and intensely visual and dramatic as his earlier poetry. His wonderful new collection, Odi Barbare, is composed of some of the more attractive aspects of that later style, with an added element: a sense that the end of life is imminent. Once again, the shadows of the first and second world wars fall on the text. There are incredibly moving evocations of the English countryside interspersed with splenetic outbursts of anger. Hill also reflects on his craft.
There are some passages I cannot follow, but even those possess an urgency, a desire to say something complex, multi-faceted, all at once. As yet, I haven't got a sense of its overall design but I suspect that it will grow on me over time. Hill's work is a living embodiment of the concept of organic writing, where thought and experience are unified. In a sense, the poem is a performance of the coming into being of his thought, at the nexus between experience and the mind. And it's worth re-reading. I find new delights - and sometimes challenges - when I do so.
I'd strongly suggest that, if you like poetry, you should give this collection (which is in effect an extended poem in many sections) a go. You will be richly rewarded if you do.

The Grass is Singing
I believe that there is a political crisis going on in South Africa. A populist politician, with questionable personal morals, is president. There are attacks on the freedom of the press and artistic expression - legislative ones from the executive, literal ones from individuals with no formal connection to the government acting ultra vires to preserve the 'honour' of the president. Whilst the pattern that is emerging might so far resemble Putin's regime more than Mugabe's (though there are similarities), the South African constitution is robust in defence of liberty, due process and accountability. So far, at least.
Its survival will depend on the speed with which the country progressively realises the economic, cultural and social rights of its poorest citizens - in a society that is still far too unequal, and where wealth and power are highly concentrated and unaccountable.
Out of this context, I welcome a poet with a remarkably direct and personal voice, who writes about life in South Africa as it is now, with no false distinctions between the political and the personal. Karen Press's poems show what can be done when the whole of a person's being is deeply engaged with the world around them and then channelled with wit, openness and compassion into poetry.
Therefore, I find it surprising that on the blurb on the back of her new book published by Carcanet, 'Slowly, As If', the South African Sunday Independent is quoted as saying 'It is largely a poetry of whispers, of hints, of indirect statements...' when I find poems with titles like:
Your Saddam
Cyrus Vance Sat on my Couch
Statistics South Africa Says
Hotel Rwanda, 1 January 2006
Monument to the South African Republic
she gave birth while prison guards tortured her and laughed.
The only explanation is that South African poetry today is characterised by didactic agitprop and that by comparison Press's work is positively Anglo-Saxon in its obliquity. The evidence for this comes from a book I bought a couple of years ago called Beyond Words, at an evening of South African poetry at the Contact Theatre, Manchester. The poetry was read by the authors themselves. I open that book now and I come across lines like this:
When Europe cuts up the continent into little pockets of its imperialist want....
My hearts percusion flows to my feet
As they play notes on the ground
At once linking past and present
soul and sound
I am attracted to the image of a continent being cut up into little pockets and I love 'my heart's percussion' but the poetry goes on to become about something - a thought, an interpretation external to the experience - rather than presenting something from within the experience or perception, summative as opposed to an enactment. Not all of the poetry is like this by any means. There's a wonderful poem by Lebo Mashile called God Blues for Mama which presents a marxist view of religion i.e. one that respects the beliefs of proletarians ("Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people" as Marx himself wrote). Mashile writes:
God never runs, Mama said
He died on a cross
Papa was cross
She bled from her head
God never hides, Mama said
She's at church every night
Close to him
The Lord lives inside
This poem doesn't seem too far away from Press's. She writes from personal experience and isn't afraid of the prosaic:
The chapter recounts how Stalin phoned Pasternak
Nor of the abstract and rhetorical:
Would he stand up inside the mask of his freedom
and burn his own fine-tuned tongue
to keep one of them warm?
(Pasternak's Shadow)
Thankfully, she has a capacity to keep the latter grounded in the former. For instance, she has written an evocative poem about when the Berlin Wall came down:
The red velvet kaffeehaus chairs are worn through,
the patrons are worn down with coffee and cigarettes
and the children they had when already somewhat mature,
slumped over wrinkled copies of taz at the pre-war wooden tables
History wants to
get its hands on this city
all over again.
(Over There, Berlin, November 1989)
Her poetry reminds me of D H Lawrence and of Ted Hughes because of the way she is present in it living and breathing poetry. Certainly, she writes about nature and is capable of lyrical beauty because of an intense focus on an external natural work which affects her strongly:
Slowly the water lightens but there's black below,
and a silver shadown folding each bright ripple in -
the deepness and memory of the lake
it clings to, for the sky is far away
and blue without conversation
(Love Songs for Lake Como)
Sure, there is uneveness in her work, but a sense of complete engagement pervades almost everything she writes.
She might refer to South Africa as 'the dead republic' and think it's MPs 'clink clink clink/ like chocolate coins in the President's pocket' but the vitality of her work demonstrates that she still hopes, and that democratic sentiment in South Africa is strong:
Some people say
that what you're doing now
simpy confirms what your politics were
I'm not one of them -
I think, Stalinism and the sneering shadow flitting across your eyes
notwithstanding, that you had something to fight for,
something greater than clothes and a car
more lithe, more radiant inside its own skin,.
You were so beautiful then.
(Do you Love Yourself Like This).
I should add that she also writes about love and the relationship between the soul and the material world:
The soul must be the bones
since they're what lasts
forever and ever, stark and serene.
Where else would a soul want to live?
(Three Meditations on Immortality or Are we nearly There Yet?)
In other words, she is a profound poet as well as an energetic one. There's a poem in the book called Be bear, which I think pretty much sums her up:
Be bear, the doctor says, be crane
and tiger and golden pheasant, be monkey and dragon.
Fold in and open, gather and strike
and attack, when necessary attack
or soften and fall, become a dragon
becoming a folding pheasant.

So Bad, it's Good (well, almost)
I'm a big fan of Alice Oswald's work. It is imaginative and lively with lots of verbal energy and passion. Her subject is often nature leading some people to compare her poetry to Ted Hughes's (imho Dylan Thomas could be another correlative because she seems to be able to inhabit the dream lives of lots of other characters).
Her attractively produced collection in Faber, Memorial, reminds me of one aspect of Ted Hughes's work: its occasional godawfulness. She's stripped away all the narrative from the Illiad and left us with a series of descriptions of the deaths of minor characters in the story. The effect is mind-numbing, though after a while the absurdity of this litany of doomed people rushing into the book to die becomes quite Pythonesque. It takes on a mad cartoonish quality, but I confess this doesn't get me beyond the first few pages.
I really admire people who boldly get it so wrong and am looking forward to her next book.
In the mean time, don't buy this one.
Forget it.

Dynasol to produce and sell rubber in China
By Gerald Ondrey | December 14, 2010
Dynasol, a subsidiary of Repsol (www.repsol.com) and the Kuo Group, has signed an agreement with China's Shanxi Northern Xing'an Chemical Industry (Xing'an) to produce and market rubber in China. The two companies are to set up a joint company which will build a plant in north-eastern China with an annual capacity of 100,000 metric tons of rubber solution. The agreement signed by Dynasol stipulates that both companies will have an equal share in the new company. Additionally, the rubber produced may also be sold to other countries in the region. Dynasol will supply the production technology and the know-how in developing new products and will also provide technical service to clients, essential elements in the market for different types of synthetic rubber. Xing'an is a subsidiary of a diversified Chinese business group which owns a chemical complex in Liaoning province, in northeast China. The new rubber facility will be part of the complex, resulting in a seamless integration of its main raw materials, styrene and butadiene, ensuring a reliable, consistent supply of both products. Dynasol is a global seller which today has two world-scale plants, in Spain and North America. With this new plant it will also…

Two researchers were monitoring tiger sharks off the north shore of Oahu on Jan. 15 when a giant 20-foot female great white shark swam up to their boat.
Ocean Ramsey and Juan Oliphant captured the thrilling encounter on camera as the large shark approached Ramsey.
In the video above, you can see that the shark, nicknamed Deep Blue, seems mostly harmless as Ramsey goes right up to her and grabs her fin.
"Today was extremely special because while I work with (great) white sharks all around the world, they are extremely rare in Hawaii and this individual may be one of the largest recorded," Ramsey said in a press release.
Ramsey believes Deep Blue may actually be a shark she studied before in Isla Guadalupe, Mexico due to the markings she had. The seasoned researcher and conservationist says the shark was possibly trailing a sperm whale that had died recently near the shore of Oahu.
"Sharks' role in the ecosystem, to pick off the dead, dying, weak, wounded, sick, injured, etc. keeps lower trophic levels healthy and in balance," Ramsey said.
Great white sharks are classified as a vulnerable species and are rare in Hawaii because the water is too warm in comparison to the Pacific coast of California where sea lions or elephant seals are available.
The size of the shark could possibly stem from pregnancy, according to Ramsey. And despite how close she was able to get to Deep Blue, Ramsey urged in the Instagram post that the public should not recklessly jump into shark infested waters.
Ramsey runs an educational, cage-free diving program at One Ocean Diving. She hopes that her work and the attention it is receiving due to her run in with Deep Blue shows how important conservation efforts are for sharks around the world.
"We study shark behavior and we teach people how to avoid adverse interactions," Ramsey said. "Our research and work aims to help reduce shark related fatalities and educate others on the importance of sharks."
She also is an advocate for laws in Hawaii that would provide better protection for sharks and rays.
"Shark populations around Hawaii are unfortunately declining and there are currently no laws to protect sharks from being killed for any reason other than banning killing only for their fins, and even that law has many loop holes and hasn't been upheld," Ramey said.
Divers come face to face with a giant great white shark called "Deep Blue" in thrilling video.

When you're getting close to the end of your pre-wedding to-do list and you find yourself wondering what else you should do before its time to walk down the aisle, you may want to consider heading to a few of your favorite (or not so favorite) doctors. Even if you're feeling as good as could be, seeing your doctors for check-ups and even pre-wedding advice, might be a good way to feel even more healthy and anxiety-free before the big day comes around. Here are the five doctors you could consider booking an appointment with before your wedding day.
If you're wondering what you can do to get your skin looking good before the wedding, book an appointment with your dermatologist who may be able to set you up with a proper pre-wedding regime. They may even be able to give you a quick fix for any day-of breakouts.
If your wedding is mid-allergy season or even outdoors, head to your allergist for a game plan of how to get through the day without coughing and sneezing.
If you're planning on changing your contraceptive method when you get married, whether that means going on the pill or off the bill, or trying something new, it may be a good idea to visit your gynecologist and talk through this with them.
Visiting your dentist should be a top priority, whether it's for a routine cleaning or for a teeth-whitening appointment. You may need dental work that could take a couple of appointments to do, so book this appointment as early as you can.
You may also want to consider adding a General Practitioner to the top of your list to talk about any health concerns or questions that you have. You can also consult with them about any specialists you'd like to see before your wedding.

Sung Hoon → Lee Ga-ryeong reading the script for 'Love 2'… First broadcast on June 12
2021-05-12 motto k ALL, K-Drama, K-Entertainment 0
[Reporter Jin Hyang-hee on the Daily Economy Star Today]
While "Love" 2 confirmed its first broadcast on June 12 (Saturday), Sung Hoon, Lee Tae-gon, Park Joo-mi, Lee Ga-ryeong, Lee Min-young, Jeon Soo-kyung and Jeon Noh-min unveiled the scene of "Script Reading," which exploded more powerful firepower.
TV CHOSUN's new drama "Marriage Song Divorce Composition 2" (played by Yoo Jung-joon, Lee Seung-hoon/Production Jidam, High Ground, Green Snake Media/hereinafter referred to as "Love 2" scheduled to premiere at 9 p.m. on June 12th (Saturday) has never imagined a story of three attractive female protagonists in their 30s, 40s, and 50s.
Season 1 of "Love" recorded the highest ratings of TV CHOSUN dramas (6.3% nationwide, 7.1% maximum) from the first episode due to the immersive story of South Korea's leading star writer Phoebe (Lim Sung-han) and 16 consecutive hours.
In particular, in season 1, the first act, in which the conflict between the three couples intensified, and the second act of a new concept of backtracking on an affair that went back 10 months before the affair began, were loved.
In addition, the story of Shin Yoo-shin (Lee Tae-gon), a husband in his 40s who visited his wife when his date with an affair woman failed, and Park Hae-ryun (Jeon Noh-min), a husband in his 50s who slept with an affair woman on her daughter's birthday, amplified curiosity about season 2.
In this regard, the actors and production team, who reunited after a short break, greeted each other with affection, expressing their excitement for a new start. In addition, the script reading scene, where sparks splashed inside the mask at the beginning, drew curiosity by unfolding the actors' fantastic breathing and pulling the trigger.
First of all, Sung-hoon, who played the role of Boo Hye-ryeong (Lee Ga-ryeong)'s husband and a judge of a dink lawyer in his third year of marriage, presents a delicate emotional performance that shows various emotions between Boo Hye-ryeong and Song Won (Lee Min-young). In season 2, Lee Tae-gon also received enthusiastic responses for playing Shin Yu-shin, who wants to be a perfect man for his wife Sa Pi-young (Park Joo-mi) and lover Ami (Song Ji-in), in a soft tone and relaxed tone.
Park Joo-mi, who was the happiest wife in season 1, foretold that she would be engulfed in another emotion, keeping the snap of her perfect wife, mother and career woman intact. Lee Ga-ryeong, who has captured the character's energy with Boo Hye-ryeong's unique intense smokey makeup, calmly depicts the transforming feelings of her strong sister Boo Hye-ryeong, who does not want to lose money at work and at home.
Lee Min-young created a warm and sincere atmosphere with her acting possessed by Song Won, who shook the second half of the season. Lee Min-young's bigger performance, which expressed Song Won, raised expectations. Lee Si-eun, who showed the best performance in season 1, has a much higher tone and a more confident tone. She encouraged support for the transformation, and Park Hae-ryeong, who became the worst husband of season 1, gave a different look with more amazing actions.
Song Ji-in, an affair girl who shook Shin Yu-shin's heart, and Lim Hye-young, Nam Ga-bin, who wandered Park Hae-ryun, Kim Eung-soo, So-jeong Lee Jong-nam, Cho Woong, Yoon Seo-hyun, Seo-ban Moon Sung-ho, Dongma Boo-bae, Hyang-gi, all have more vitality in season 2.
"In 'The Script Reading', which was conducted in thorough compliance with quarantine guidelines, the actors' energy that has been condensed since season 1 exploded, drawing attention to Poten, which will be intensified in season 2," the production team said. "Season 1 was only an outpost." "Please pay a lot of attention to season 2 of 'Final Song', which is filled with the spicy taste of full-fledged discord," the official said.
TV CHOSUN's new drama "Love 2" will premiere on Saturday, June 12 at 9 p.m.

Maine Veterans Affairs officials hand the remains of Army Pvt. Jewett Williams of Hodgdon, who fought for the Union Army in the famed 20th Maine, back to some Patriot Guard Riders who traveled across the country with him from Oregon over the past few days during a ceremony on Monday outside the Togus VA Medical Center in Augusta.

Patriot Guard Riders attend a ceremony to witness the remains of Army Pvt. Jewett Williams of Hodgdon, who fought for the Union Army in the famed 20th Maine, being handed over to Maine VA officials on Monday outside the Togus VA Medical Center in Augusta. The motorcycle group helped bring Williams' remains back to Maine.

AUGUSTA, Maine — The Civil War soldier from Maine whose remains were stored haphazardly at the Oregon State Hospital for nearly 100 years has finally come home.
Army Pvt. Jewett Williams of Hodgdon, who fought for the Union Army with the famed 20th Maine, made his second stop in the Pine Tree State on Monday afternoon when the small, American flag-wrapped cardboard box holding his cremains arrived at the Togus VA Medical Center in Augusta. It will not be the end of his journey, though.
A pair of distant cousins from Aroostook County have stepped forward to claim Williams' ashes. He will be laid to rest beside his parents in the family plot in Hodgdon, according to VA officials.
Williams' ashes traveled across the country in style, accompanied by a battalion of Patriot Guard Riders who handed the box off from one group of motorcyclists to the next like a kind of modern-day Pony Express. Many of those riders came to Togus on Monday to witness Williams' cremains being handed over to Maine VA officials, including Neil Wagner of Royersford, Pennsylvania.
Christabell Rose, who is part of the Falmouth-based Maine Living History Association, dismounted from one of the Patriot Guard Riders' motorcycles Monday while wearing a wide-skirted 1860s-style dress. After taking off her helmet, she bundled her hair into a black snood. Rose had traveled with Williams' cremains from Appomattox, Virginia, organizing ceremonies at state line crossings all the way up to Maine.
More than 150 Patriot Guard Riders participated in the Maine ceremony in Kittery, which took place after riders dismounted and carried his ashes across the Piscataqua River on the Memorial Bridge. The nonprofit motorcycle organization was formed to attend funeral services of American veterans as invited guests of the family.
That's a big change for the former Union soldier, who died at the Oregon hospital in 1922, with no one to claim his remains.
Williams had a tough time during the Civil War and lived a peripatetic life after it, according to Tom Desjardin, a historian and recent acting commissioner of the Maine Department of Education.
Afterward, Williams came back to Maine, married and then got divorced about five years later. He remarried and left the state, Desjardin said, moving with his wife to Michigan, Minnesota, Colorado, Washington state and then Oregon. They had six children, although one died as a child, and the couple divorced in 1899 "at her insistence," Desjardin said.
Williams was among veterans who spoke at school Memorial Day programs from 1914 to 1919, according to the Statesman Journal.
Census records from 1920 list Williams as a widower who was still working as a laborer at age 75, according to the Oregon newspaper. He was sick and suffering from dementia when he was admitted to the state hospital in 1922. He died three months later at age 78.
His ashes were placed in a copper urn and kept in various locations on hospital grounds along with those of more than 3,000 other people who died at the hospital between 1914 and 1971 and whose remains were never claimed, the Statesman Journal said.
Desjardin learned that the 20th Maine veteran's ashes were in Oregon when he was researching what had happened to each soldier who fought in the regiment. He proposed the state bring Williams home.
Togus officials had planned to open up the long-closed national cemetery on the medical center's grounds and bury him near five other 20th Maine veterans. But when Williams' elderly relatives — first cousins four times removed — asked to have him come home, Horn said hospital authorities were happy to comply. The relatives, who did not attend the Monday ceremony, sent a letter proving their relationship to Williams, she said.
The decision to allow Williams to be buried in Hodgdon was not unanimously cheered by attendees on Monday. One woman challenged Horn, asking whether there is proof the Hodgdon cousins are related to Williams. Another said that the Army had become Williams' family.
Williams' remains will be kept at the Maine Veterans Memorial Cemetery on the Mount Vernon Road in Augusta until Saturday, Sept. 17, when the remains will be taken to Aroostook County. The public can come and pay tribute to him while he is at the Augusta Cemetery, according to the VA.

And Trump has commented on Meghan Markle.....
Curryong
Trump says many things, nonsensical and otherwise. Wishing Harry luck? I'd say that probably some are wishing him the same in six weeks, considering the latest polling.

I am shocked by how rude this comment is (not the statement from the spokesman, but Harry's), even more so than I found Harry's statement without the clarification. Of course, if Harry was calling for these things in general, that would be one thing, but he is calling for them specifically in the context of another country's election.
I cannot imagine sitting in a pub in the UK with an election upcoming and saying to a local resident, "You know, with the vote around the corner, you all really should be a bit kinder to each other and watch what you say and not spread what I as an outsider think is false information." It would be the height of rudeness and I can imagine being asked to leave.
Not to mention that with what many American citizens feel they have at stake in the current political climate, someone who is not a citizen here and therefore does not have those things at stake coming in and telling people who feel victimized and unheard to "be kind" and "not spread negativity"... it's not on.
You just don't go to other people's countries and comment on how they are conducting themselves in their elections and sensitive political processes, no matter who you are. It's culturally insensitive.
Speaking of Jeremy Corbyn, the book Left Out: The Inside Story of Labour Under Corbyn by Gabriel Pogrund and Patrick Maguire did mentioned his communication with Harry and Meghan.
According to The Week article:
Republican Corbyn bonded with the Sussexes
In an unlikely meeting of the minds, Corbyn and his wife, Mexican businesswoman Laura Alvarez, bonded with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle over the royal couple's "treatment at the hands of the tabloid press", says Left Out.
While attending the annual Commonwealth Day service at Westminster Abbey, Alvarez "slipped them" a collection of writings by 17th-century Mexican poet Juana Ines de la Cruz.
Alvarez "hoped Meghan might find a kindred spirit" in De la Cruz, a nun whose "willingness to attack the hypocrisies of the colonial classes had made her a target for Establishment hate".
The following day, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex sent a personally signed note of "great thanks" to "Jeremy and Laura", who had "privately offered sympathy" over their media battles.
"Such was Corbyn's dislike of the press that it had even convinced him to moderate his lifelong republicanism," claim Pogrund and Maguire.
https://www.theweek.co.uk/107884/fiv...my-corbyn-book
I have also looked at the preview of Left Out: The Inside Story of Labour Under Corbyn on Google Books
"...hypocrisies of the colonial classes had made her a target for establishment hate. In Sister Juana, Alvarez hoped Meghan might find a kindred spirit. The Corbyns had privately offered sympathy for the duchess's treatment at the hands of the tabloid press, whose misdemeanours they felt similarly familiar with. The following day, the Sussexes sent a personally signed note of 'great thanks to Jeremy and Laura' for their support and said they look forward 'to learn more about her life and works!' Such was Corbyn dislike of the mainstream press that it had even convinced him to moderate his lifelong republicanism"
https://www.google.com.au/books/edit...sec=frontcover
Laura Alvarez is Jeremy Corbyn's wife.
Harry & Meghan's private conversation and friendship with the Corbyns are not the same as making "public politics related statements". I do think Jeremy Corbyn and Laura Alvarez are just providing moral support, who happen to share similar opinions.

Meghan should not comment on politics with her title. I hope the Queen removes their title, I say this as someone who is not a Republican at all.
Good on Trump!

Or give any opinion on domestic elections? As I do remember two non working sisters, members of the Royal Family attending Boris Johnson's post election victory party. Surely a statement in itself. .
As for Princess Beatrice, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, Princess Eugenie, Lord and Lady Frederick Windsor attending Boris Johnson's post election victory party, it's not really the same as making statement (by Harry) "As we approach this November, it's vital that we reject hate speech, misinformation and online negativity". Other guests for the party included: Mick Jagger, David and Samantha Cameron, Rachel Johnson (Boris' sister), Daisy Lowe, Matt Smith, Jemima Goldsmith, Sadie Frost, Peter Mandelson (former Labour MP), Anna Friel, Tracey Emin, David Walliams, Lily Cole, David Hasselhoff, Eddie Izzard (who joined Labour candidates in campaign trials).
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...-Annabels.html
I wouldn't called these guests who attended the party "conservative" or "right-wing". Most of them are just there for a Christmas celebration. They probably attended because they are "Annabel's club member" or close friends of Boris Johnson. I have saw pictures of Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie leaving Annabel's recently, so I think they attended as club members.
As I mentioned in earlier post, I have no problem with Harry and Meghan being friendly with Jeremy Corbyn and Laura Alvarez, because their conversations were in private.

Very apt, I agree. The fact that he and Meghan are undoubtedly aware of the uncomfortable position statements like this put the British government and especially his family in...yet they continue to do as they please, seems really obnoxious at this point.

THIS is the part of Harry's comment that irked me the most. I have no problem with influential people getting out the vote, but does Harry forget that he's a literal prince? His title is in direct opposition to the democratic process of voting, of course he couldn't vote. How can he victimize himself when the United States is battling a pandemic, racial tension, and a polarizing election? I'm amazed no one stop him from saying this.

Trump takes a cheap shot at Meghan. What else is new? He dragged her on the state visit to the UK. And Trump slags on women who challenge him - Hillary, Kamala Harris. For the record the Sussexes did not say vote for Biden. Trump needs a distraction - the latest news cycle is going that Trump may not do a peaceful transition of power (if he loses) and he's under water in some polls. There's still a chance the American voters may fire him on Election Day, mainly for COVID response. Going after Meghan at a White House press conference was stupid on Trump's part. Mentioning her by name will only galvanize a swath of the US press to defend her and some Americans to vote him out on Nov 3.

Actually, I believe its only the monarch that is supposed to remain neutral and not vote in elections. The rest of the family *do* have the right to vote but "The rules governing royals beyond the queen are less firm. But a Buckingham Palace spokesperson tells Newsweek that "by convention," members of the royal family "close to the queen" do not exercise their right to vote."
Harry does have the right to vote in the UK but "by convention", senior members of the royal family don't vote.

It is not necessary to say something literally to make sure that people understand exactly what you mean. I don't think there are many people that would argue that Meghan is suggesting they vote for Trump with her talking about 'this time it is really essential' - and all her previous utterances about politics both prior to her marriage and in the last 6 months or so.
The fact that you say 'the Sussexes didn't say vote for Biden' is proof that you also know that they aren't suggesting people vote for Trump... but instead appeal to voters for change.
Thank you Osipi for the Newsweek article, which has included a lot instances, where people think some members of the Royal Family may have dipped into "muddy waters of politics". But their comments/actions does not come close to Harry's comment, "As we approach this November, it's vital that we reject hate speech, misinformation and online negativity,".

On top of my head, the only member of the royal family, who has made comment on very contentious topics is Lord Nicholas Windsor (youngest son of the Prince Edward, Duke of Kent). He forfeited his right of succession to the British throne, after been received into the Catholic Church. He has written 'pro-life' opinions in The Telegraph, The Catholic Herald and First Things.

I don't if he actually votes in UK elections though. If so, he probably kept it quiet like other members of the royal family.
An interesting article from Grazia UK

Wishing for the complete destruction of the Sussexes is a waste of energy.
Thank you Madame Verseau for providing the article with a more sympathetic opinion towards Harry and Meghan.
The author of this article (Guy Pewsey) tried to equate Harry and Meghan's action with the Queen's statement at Welsh Assembly, showed his lack of understanding of the constitutional monarchy. The speech at the Welsh Assembly was written by someone else, not from Her Majesty herself. It is similar to the Queen's speech in the State Opening of Parliament, which is written by the Prime Minister, but read out by the Queen.
Besides, popping their heads above the parapet to encourage people to vote, being very careful to resist naming any names, is actually no breach at all. In 2003, after a low turnout in the Welsh Assembly vote, The Queen herself intervened. 'It is vital to the health both of the United Kingdom and of Wales that our democratic institutions flourish and adapt,' she said in an address. 'I share your concerns that we must encourage all our people to exercise their right to vote. This is a real challenge now before us all.' Would critics have been satisfied if Harry and Meghan had simply repeated these words by rote? No, of course they wouldn't.
Omid Scobie has also made this stupid mistake and trying to shift the blame towards The Queen.

My first gut reaction was that Harry is turning into Meghan's parrot. It happens when one person in the marriage is a leader and the other is a follower. Dominant/recessive kind of thing.
I agree. I watched the clip without the volume, and he was constantly looking at her as if to see if he had her approval, like a puppy dog. At least that is what it looked like to me. Also, the statement Buckingham Palace released is not enough. Although it says that H & M are not working member of the royal family, they are still Commonwealth Ambassadors.

Asked about Harry's comments, Buckingham Palace would only say: "The Duke is not a working member of the Royal Family and any comments he makes are made in a personal capacity."
Sounds to me like they are seeking some distance

Other reporters were more cynical. For example Rebecca English (Daily Mail) and Camilla Tominey (The Telegraph)
Rebecca English @RE_DailyMail
Buckingham Palace have told me that they are not commenting on this, adding: 'The Duke is not a working member of the Royal Family and any comments he makes are made in a personal capacity.'
Which I personally think IS a comment in itself.

I agree with Rebecca that BP's non-statement is a statement.
This is what Harry wanted - total freedom to do as he wished. As an American, though, I don't like it at all that he's getting involved. It's not his country, he has no idea what the issues are...and while I absolutely believe everyone should vote, who wants to hear from him?
I don't understand why he gets to keep his title (same with Meghan) when he has complete divested himself of anything to do with the Royals - in terms of The Firm, not family- or the UK

DAY 79: Minnie Paget. Because With Friends Like These....
Minnie Stevens Paget was an American woman nobody on either side of the Pond forgot. The daughter of Paran Stevens, a self-made New Yorker who earned a fortune building and running Manhattan's most sophisticated hotels, and Marietta Stevens, a social climber lampooned by Edith Wharton as Mrs. Lemuel Struthers in The Age of Innocence, Minnie was one of Jennie Churchill's oldest frenemies. They met during the winter of 1863 in Delmonico's Family Dancing Classes. Like Jennie, Minnie Stevens wandered the capitols of Europe as a debutante searching for a husband--her parents were too vulgar and her money too "new" to gain access to Caroline Astor's exclusive New York. After languishing on the Marriage Mart, Minnie finally accepted the hand of an untitled second son--British Guards officer Arthur Paget, whose ancestor Henry Paget, the Marquess of Anglesey, famously lost his leg commanding the cavalry at Waterloo.
Arthur was eventually promoted to general, which made Minnie Lady Arthur Paget, but for several decades after her marriage she languished as a mere Mrs. in British Society. Although rumored to have been left a huge fortune in her father's will--at least ten million, the gossips agreed--the Stevens funds were tied up in litigation, as Minnie's mother Marietta fought for control of the trust Paran Stevens had designed to protect his millions from her profligate spending.
Minnie was known for her acid tongue and backstabbing ways. Her outrageous American manners won the favor of Bertie, Prince of Wales--and she traded on her access to Sandringham and the Marlborough House Set to spend months at a time living in the homes of friends, a canny method of economizing. A number of historians of this period also suggest that Minnie brokered marriages between impoverished English aristrocrats of her acquaintance and fabulously-dowered American girls looking for a title--her friend Alva Smith Vanderbilt's Consuelo among them--in return for expensive gifts and payments. Consuelo recalled Minnie's hard, assessing gaze in her memoir, The Glitter and the Gold, with something like a literary shiver.
Minnie finally inherited a portion of the Stevens Trust around 1895, ten years after her brother Harry's death from tuberculosis--at which point, she began to Live Large, throwing outrageous parties, ordering sumptuous dresses, and commissioning jewels. The picture above is Minnie in Fancy Dress, as Cleopatra, for the Devonshire House Ball in honor of Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee, 1897. (The ball was thrown by Jennie's friends, Hart and Lottie, by then the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire.) Minnie paid the House of Worth an enormous sum to create her costume--which sold at auction after her death in 1919 for only a few pounds. Sic transit gloria.

Nicholas Robertson children awarded $3.6m
"The jury sent a message that there are some things that could have been done differently"

County hit with $3.6m verdict in wrongful shooting death of Nicholas Robertson by sheriff's deputies; video shows victim did not point a gun at deputies who shot him 17 times
"Mr. Robertson… could have lived if they had just not kept shooting him again and again and again and again" — Att'y Brian T. Dunn. Photo: Yelp/The Cochran Firm
LOS ANGELES — The County of Los Angeles continues to dole out millions of dollars in liability for the reckless behavior of the L.A. County Sheriff's Department, most recently, $3.6 million to the children of a man fatally shot by two Lynwood station deputies in 2015.
The Cochran Firm, which represented the family of 28-year-old Nicholas Robertson, announced Monday, Dec. 4, the unanimous jury verdict in a wrongful death lawsuit.
Robertson died after being shot 17 times by deputies on Dec. 12, 2015 in front of an Arco gas station near the intersection of Long Beach Boulevard and Magnolia Avenue in Lynwood. County sheriff's officials claimed that Robertson pointed a gun towards deputies and that they feared for their lives, but multiple videos showed that Robertson was walking away from the deputies when they began shooting him. In all 33 shots were fired, 17 of them striking Robertson.
An investigation found that at the time of the shooting, Robertson was in possession of a handgun, but the weapon was not loaded.
"When we talk about the force that was used in this case, the evidence showed — in fact it was a pathologist hired by the defense — that Nicholas Robertson suffered 17 gunshot wounds but only two of them were fatal," said Atty. Brian T. Dunn. "The pathologist's opinion was that the last two shots were the fatal shots.
"So what that means is over a 24-second period in which Mr. Robertson is being shot — those are all non-fatal gunshots — so he could have lived if they had just not kept shooting him again and again and again and again.
"He could have lived because he suffered 15 non-life-threatening gunshot wounds and only two fatal and they were at the very end. We looked at the sheriff's training. They are trained to shoot in two or three round bursts and then reassess. They did not do that here," Dunn added. "Even an adherence to their own training in this situation could have resulted in the saving of a life."
The sheriff's deputies reckless disregard for policy formed the basis for the wrongful death lawsuit on behalf of Robertson's children — twin sons and a daughter — against the County of Los Angeles and the deputies involved.
Dunn said the jury showed a lot of courage and that justice was served in this case.
"We think that this is a case that involved not just the deputies' use of force that resulted in the death of Nicholas Robertson, but also the tactics they used when they approached the incident," he said. "The significance of this verdict is that by finding that the deputies acted negligently, the jury sent a message that there are some things that could have been done differently. Perhaps this will result in a change in the way that Los Angeles County trains its deputies.
"Perhaps it can result in a change in the way that they approach individuals such as Nicholas Robertson, who although he was under the influence of a narcotic, was not someone who had harmed anyone. So what we're hoping is that this verdict will result in no other family having to go through what the Robertson family went through," Dunn said.

How To: Set up your very own beach photoshoot!
Getting bored of doing the same thing at the beach over and over again? Want to show off your new tan and gorgeous bikini girls? The answer to your problems is of course, a photoshoot at the beach! Get creative maybe, with a whole theme, or go wacky with a fish bikini girls. Or pull on a risqué cover up for girls and saunter up and down the beach. Whatever the cause, and however you choose to go about it, it's sure to be tons of fun and you'll end up with loads of selfie options afterwards.
So, as you can see from above, you don't really need much to set up this photoshoot. This is of course, in general. The actual requirements will depend on the look you're going for. So make sure to keep all options open when shopping for a cute bikini girls!
Curl your hair into ringlets, or softly tease it into beach waves, wear a thin cover up for girls and your high-waisted bikini girls. Set up soft lighting, at dusk- maybe gold, pink fairy lights or paper lanterns. Either use an instant camera or a DSLR. DSLR selfies always look great, but it's better if you ask someone to take them for you.
No lighting needed for this one. Go down to the beach when the sun is at its peak (don't forget sunscreen!). Discard the thin cover up for girls and go for a bright, bold bikini girls. Zebra stripes, geometric shapes, animals whatever. Just make sure it's brightly colored and attention catching. Bring some props, like ridiculous heart-shaped sunglasses or a wide brimmed floppy hat and strike some poses. Do this with the girl gang and you'll have both amazing memories and some great photos!
