Share the post "Jesus — Stranger to Self-Hatred by Monsignor Ferrarese"
The double commandment of love, meaning 'Love God with all you have and love your neighbor as yourself,' seems simple and easy to do. Nothing could be further from the truth! People often forget that there is an order to the two. The most important is the first: "Therefore, you shall love the Lord, your God, with your whole heart, and with your whole being, and with your whole strength" (Deut. 6:5). What makes it difficult is the word "whole". There can be no compromise. We must put God first (before family and country) and love Him WITH EVERYTHING WE'VE GOT!
No excuses! No short cuts! No ifs, ands, or buts! Even if this means going to our death!
Tell me, who thinks this is easy?
The second part is actually two and they are interlocking: 'We must love our neighbor as we love ourselves.' Simple, right? Again, not quite.
At the basis of this part is the assumption that we have a healthy love for ourselves since this is the measure with which we are called to love our neighbor. But if we barely tolerate ourselves, and, if even worse, we can't stand ourselves, guess what? That is what we will do with the other persons in our lives!
Having a healthy self-love must never be confused with egotism, pleasure-seeking, self-righteousness, self-indulgence, etc. These things destroy the true self of the person.
I have met too many priests that are not comfortable being themselves, so when they put on a collar they take on a role to play and not a life to live. But this is certainly not a "clergy only" fault. There are many roles that families and working environments ask all of us to play.
The only problem is that we can begin to believe that we are that role. We then construct (always unconsciously) a false self that we present to others as who we really are. The only problem is that it is not who we really are.
Because of social pressure or confusion, we abandon our true selves, which then often languish in the darkness. Then, on a deeper level, we unconsciously reject this made-up self. But who then is the real me?
Many people (most? all?) instinctively hate the masked person that we think we are. But to hate the true self is to hate Christ.
Therefore, our spiritual journey (with the help of confessors and spiritual directors) is to discover who we really are, embrace it, and, by doing that, also embrace the Christ within us. Self-hatred or self-rejection at this level can only be seen as sinful because it is so self-destructive. But the journey needs a radical honesty with oneself.
For most people, this self-hatred is very muted and hardly noticeable. It comes out almost instinctively and even innocently in the corners of expressions we use about ourselves.
How can we possibly follow that second great command to love our neighbor as ourselves if we do not love ourselves? Many people in this situation often project their self-hatred onto the other and thereby twist Jesus' command to something like: "Reject your neighbor just like you have rejected yourself!" This was never what Christ meant! Love means love. We are commanded to first love ourselves, then to extend to others the love we have cultivated in us.
This healthy self-love is not an excuse to continue bad behavior. To truly love ourselves is to stop destructive and self-defeating behavior.
It is in prayer with Jesus where He leads us to that self-acceptance that helps us to love each other and, ultimately, to love God. We can think we are doing it correctly when, in fact, we can be all wrong.
Every adult Christian in prayer must bring this to God and ask God to shine the light of Grace into our hearts so that we can end destructive patterns of action and put on the 'new self' which is made in the image and likeness of Christ.

Q: Output model metrics to Cloudwatch I am following the mnist-2 guide from the aws github documentation to implement my own training job https://github.com/aws/amazon-sagemaker-examples/tree/master/sagemaker-python-sdk/tensorflow_script_mode_training_and_serving. I have wrote my code using a similar structure, but I would like to visualise the training and validation metrics from Cloudwatch while the job is running. Do I need to manually specify the metrics I am trying to observe? The AWS guide states "SageMaker automatically parses the logs for metrics that built-in algorithms emit and sends those metrics to CloudWatch." I am only using Tensorflow's training and validation accuracy and loss metrics, which I am not sure if they are built-in, or if I need to call them manually.

A: If you are not using a built-in algorithm, like in the example you linked, you have to define your metrics when you create the training job. You have to define regex expressions to grab from the logs the metric values, then cloudwatch will plot for you. The x axis will be the timestamp, you cannot change it.
Basically just run your traning job and observe how the metrics are outputted, then you can build the appropriate regex. For example, since I am using coco metrics in tensorflow which periodically produce this:
INFO:tensorflow:Saving dict for global step 1109: DetectionBoxes_Precision/mAP = 0.111895345, DetectionBoxes_Precision/mAP (large) = 0.12102994, DetectionBoxes_Precision/mAP (medium) = 0.050807837, DetectionBoxes_Precision/mAP (small) = -1.0, DetectionBoxes_Precision/mAP@.50IOU = 0.33130914, DetectionBoxes_Precision/mAP@.75IOU = 0.03787096, DetectionBoxes_Recall/AR@1 = 0.18493989, DetectionBoxes_Recall/AR@10 = 0.36792925, DetectionBoxes_Recall/AR@100 = 0.48543888, DetectionBoxes_Recall/AR@100 (large) = 0.5131599, DetectionBoxes_Recall/AR@100 (medium) = 0.21598063, DetectionBoxes_Recall/AR@100 (small) = -1.0, Loss/classification_loss = 0.8041124, Loss/localization_loss = 0.35313264, Loss/regularization_loss = 0.15211834, Loss/total_loss = 1.30936, global_step = 1109, learning_rate = 0.28119853, loss = 1.30936

I use to grab the total loss for example:
INFO.*Loss\/total_loss = ([0-9\.]+)

That's it, cloudwatch automatically plot the total_loss in time.
You can define metrics either in the console or in the notebook, like this (just an example from my code):
metrics = [{'Name': 'Loss', 'Regex': 'loss: ([0-9\.]+)'},
           {'Name': 'Accuracy', 'Regex': 'acc: ([0-9\.]+)'},
           {'Name': 'Epoch', 'Regex': 'Epoch ([0-9\.]+)'},
           {'Name': 'Validation_Acc', 'Regex': 'val_acc: ([0-9\.]+)'},
           {'Name': 'Validation_Loss', 'Regex': 'val_loss: ([0-9\.]+)'}]

tf_estimator = TensorFlow(entry_point='training.py',
                          role=get_execution_role(),
                          train_instance_count=1,
                          train_instance_type='ml.p2.xlarge',
                          train_max_run=172800,
                          output_path=s3_output_location,
                          framework_version='1.12',
                          py_version='py3',
                          metric_definitions = metrics,
                          hyperparameters = hyperparameters)

In order to test your regex, you can use a tool like this

Najib says seized items are mostly gifts, has started legal process to reclaim them
Items seized from six residences linked to Malaysia's ousted prime minister Najib Razak are displayed during a press conference in Kuala Lumpur on June 27, 2018.ST PHOTO: NADIRAH H. RODZI

KUALA LUMPUR (THE STAR/ASIA NEWS NETWORK) - The family of former Malaysian premier Najib Razak has started the legal process to reclaim items that police had seized from them.
Datuk Seri Najib said in a statement on Thursday (June 28) that the items, seized by police from six residences linked to him, were mostly gifts from friends and foreign dignitaries.
These included gifts from royalty for various occasions such as official visits and family events, birthdays, anniversaries, weddings and engagements.
He was responding to the Malaysian police saying the cash, jewellery, luxury handbags, watches and sunglasses that were seized have been valued at between RM900 million and RM1.1 billion (S$305 million and S$372 million).
This was the biggest seizure made in the country's history, said Commercial Crime Investigation Department director Commissioner Amar Singh at a news conference on Wednesday.
The seizures were made as part of an ongoing investigation into state fund 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB).
The residences linked to him that were raided were his family home in Taman Duta, three apartments at the Pavilion Residences condominium, an unused bungalow in Putrajaya and the official residence of the Prime Minister in Putrajaya.

Najib says he and his wife Rosmah get many gifts, dismisses S$300m valuation of jewellery, luxury goods
Najib, Rosmah and 'gift givers' to be quizzed soon in 1MDB probe, no arrests so far: Police
The cash seized from 35 bags amounted to RM116.7 million in 26 currencies. Mr Najib has said these were Umno's leftover funds after the general election last month, and some belonged to him from his travels to 30 countries.
There were also 72 large luggage bags seized, 25 of them containing diamonds, bangles and earrings. Datuk Seri Amar said there were about 12,000 items of jewellery seized.
Among them were 1,400 necklaces, 2,200 rings, 2,100 bangles, 2,800 pairs of earrings, 1,600 brooches and 14 tiaras.
There were also 567 luxury handbags from 37 brands, 423 top-branded watches valued at RM78 million, and 234 luxury sunglasses valued at RM374,000.
Mr Najib said in the statement: "Some of the items seized belong to relatives and various third parties.
"We dispute the quantity and the valuation given in the press conference by the police since such valuation is subjective and is subject to when the gifts were given."
As most of the items were gifts accumulated over decades, the family is not aware of how much was paid by those who had gifted these items, he added.
"Any valuation based on retail price and at current prices would be unrealistic, likely to be grossly inflated and will give a very distorted picture as these items were received as gifts over a period that spans decades," he said.
Malaysia's police chief Mohamad Fuzi Harun told reporters on Thursday had brushed aside claims by Mr Najib that the valuation of items seized from homes linked to him was "subjective and unrealistic", as the former premier had told Malaysiakini in an interview on Wednesday.
"The valuation of the (luxury) items is based on the assessment of experts who know their true value," Inspector General of Police Fuzi said. "We were assisted by experts on the brands of items seized, and the police were not involved in determining the value of the goods."
Mr Najib in defending the items as gifts mentioned that one item that police singled out as the most expensive watch was a Rolex Daytona which they say is valued at RM3.4 million.
"This item referred by the police appears to be a recent gift along with several other valuables given by an Interior Minister, who is also a prince of a Middle Eastern country, who visited Malaysia in March this year.
"The police should also have stated that this item, along with several others, were contained in a box with the royal crest of a foreign country," Mr Najib said, adding that such facts should not have been omitted.
He claimed that many of the items seized were stored in boxes properly labelled by staff members with the item description, photographs, date of gift and the identity of the persons who gave the gift.
"Should the police call our family for questioning over this matter, we will provide our full cooperation. To the best of our ability, we shall help the police identify those who have given the gifts over the decades," he added.
"Similar to the over-inflating of the national debt, the over-inflating of the quantity and value of the items seized, as well as the press conference, appears to be done with a view for political vengeance and political attack on my family," he said.

Ekiti Chief Judge grants amnesty to 34 inmates
Tuesday, December 08, 2020 Fashola MC POSCABA 0 Latest News in Nigeria
As part of the effort to decongest correctional centre in Ekiti State, the Chief Judge, Justice Ayodeji Daramola has granted pardon to 34 inmates in Ado Ekiti correctional centre.
The freed 34 inmates were part of the 386, whose cases were reviewed during the CJ's visit to the correctional centre in Ado Ekiti on Tuesday.
27 inmates, including a female, were set free unconditionally, while seven were granted bail on liberal terms.
Addressing the freed inmates, Justice Daramola, advised them, "to learn from your past mistakes and go into the world with determination to redirect your psyches and do what is right by refraining from crime and criminalty".
He eulogised the correctional officers for keeping the inmates healthy as well as maintaining hygienic environment to prevent untimely death and high morbidity rate among inmates.
The CJ berated prosecuting system in Nigeria, which he described as falling short of international best practices, saying this has contributed immensely to prison congestion in the country.
"I admonish you to be of good behaviour as the long hand of the law is awaiting any erring citizen".
Justice Daramola , however, gave financial help to one of the pardoned inmates, who could not return home for lack of money.
The comptroller of the centre, Mr Alimi Abdul Rasheed, applauded the Chief Judge for the gesture, describing his visit as worthwhile and remarkable.

A recent national poll found that nine of 10 Native Americans aren't offended by the Washington Redskins name.
The poll, conducted by the Washington Post, indicated more than eight in 10 said they wouldn't be offended if someone who was not a Native American called them that name.
A federal judge ordered the cancellation of the Washington Redskins' trademark registration in July, ruling that the team's name may be disparaging to Native Americans. The club is appealing.
Ninety percent of the random national sample of 504 Native Americans said the name doesn't bother them; 9 percent said it was offensive. Native Americans make up about 2 percent of the U.S. population.
Interviews were conducted from December through April on landline and cellphones, with a margin of error of plus or minus 5.5 percentage points.
Washington owner Dan Snyder said in a statement the "team, our fans and community have always believed our name represents honor, respect and pride." He added: "We are gratified by this overwhelming support from the Native American community, and the team will proudly carry the Redskins name."
The Washington Post noted that the lead plaintiff in the first case challenging the team's trademark protections dismissed the findings. Suzan Harjo is a member of the Cheyenne and Hodulgee Muscogee tribes.
"I don't agree with them," Harjo said. "And I don't agree that this is a valid way of surveying public opinion in Indian Country."

Miss Parloa's New Cookbook: An interesting book by Maria Parloa
Posted by Sue Dyson and Roger McShane on 18 October 2020 at 3:29 am
Miss Parloa's New Cookbook: Introduction
Miss Parloa's New Cookbook: A Guide to Marketing and Cooking was an influential and groundbreaking cookbook written by teacher and author Maria Parloa and published in the United States in 1891.
Maria Parloa was born in Massachusetts in 1843 and died in 1909 having written some thirteen cookbooks, published many pamphlets and delivered thousands of lectures. She was an early adopter of the now widespread practice of product endorsement, often using the products of specific companies in her recipes.
The first recorded lecture that she gave was on Cooking and Digestion in 1876 in New London in Connecticut (Mary J Lincoln, 1910).
She established the Miss Parloa's School of Cookery at 174 Tremont Street, just opposite the Boston Common, in 1877.
Note that this is not the same as the Boston Cooking School at 158 Tremont St that was established by the Womens Educational Association in 1879, two years after Maria Parloa established her school. Confusingly, Maria Parloa also often lectured at the Boston Cooking School and had a strong influence on the thoughts and practices of its first principal Mary Lincoln.
She was popular on the lecture circuit and in the following year even toured England and France, where she no doubt gained inspiration from the culinary scene in those countries.
On her return to the United States in 1879 she published an unheralded book called First Principles of Household Management and Cookery which included some discussion on the chemistry of food, thus making her an early adopter of the scientific approach to cooking.
Her subsequent books also reflected her interest in this topic as well as the broader topic of kitchen technology of which she was a great advocate.
In fact, throughout her life she published eleven books (including Miss Parloa's New Cookbook) which included a number for food companies such as 'One Hundred Ways to Use Leibig Company's Extract of Beef'.
Among the other books that she wrote were The Appledore Cook Book (published in 1872), Camp Cookery (1878) and a book written especially for the flour company General Mills.
She left Boston and moved to New York to open a school of her own near the East Village.
She was also a long term columnist for the influential Ladies' Home Journal which we believe she may also have partly owned.
Miss Parloa's New Cookbook: The Book
But now to the book, Miss Parloa's New Cookbook, itself. Why was it so influential? We have already mentioned her deep interest in the chemistry of cooking and this comes through in many of the recipes.
She also provides precise instructions for assembling the recipes unlike many authors of her day (although Eliza Acton certainly was influential in this respect many years earlier).
For example, the following recipe for Spring and Summer Soup Without Stock is illustrative of the detail she provides for her readers.
Quarter of a pound of salt pork, or three large table-spoonfuls of butter; three large young onions, half a small head of cabbage, three potatoes, half a small carrot, half a small white turnip, three table-spoonfuls of flour, two quarts of water, six large slices of toasted bread, salt, pepper, one small parsnip. Cut the pork into thin slices; place these in the soup pot and let them fry out slowly. Have the vegetables (except the potatoes), cut quite fine, and when the pork is cooked, put the vegetables into the pot with it. Cover tightly, and let cook very gently, on the back of the stove, one hour. Stir frequently to prevent burning. Add the water, which should be boiling.
Let simmer gently for one hour, and then add the potatoes, cut into slices, and the flour, which has been mixed with a little cold water. Season with salt and pepper, and simmer gently an hour longer. Have the toasted bread in the tureen. Turn the soup on it and serve. A pint of green peas, cooked in the soup the last half, is a great addition. When the butter is used, let it melt in the soup pot before adding the vegetables.
Maria Parloa
There are over forty recipes in Miss Parloa's New Cookbook of this level of detail and all equally interesting and delicious, even though the ingredients are probably cooked longer than is the fashion these days.
This also comes through in the Vegetables section where a table is provided showing the suggested cooking times for each vegetables. Her suggestion for green peas is 20 to 40 minutes and for cauliflower 1 to 2 hours!
There are a lot of recipes for various ways to cook beef, lamb, partridge, quail and many types of fish. All are of reasonable detail and could be adapted to modern methods quite easily.
But it is the desserts section of Miss Parloa's New Cookbook where the reader will find many wonderful dishes ranging from the simple to the elaborate. Some use strikingly modern techniques such as this appealing recipe for walnut ice cream.
One pint of the meat of walnuts (the American are the best), pounded fine in a mortar; one pint of milk, one quart of cream, two small cupfuls of sugar, four eggs, one-fourth of a teaspoonful of salt. Beat the eggs with one cupful of sugar. Put them and the milk in the double boiler, and stir constantly until the mixture begins to thicken; then add the salt, and put away to cool. When cold, add the cream and nut meat, and freeze.
So, Miss Parloa's New Cookbook is not just an historical curiosity. Rather, just like Eliza Acton's tome, it can provide inspiration for modern cooks just as it did for the many thousands who were inspired by Maria Parloa's writings over 100 years ago.
We can do no better than to finish with some sentences of Maria Parloa which still ring so true today.
Then food, to do its highest and best work, must be of the best quality, prepared carefully (but always to retain its simplest form), partaken regularly in a cheerful room and in cheerful company.

The History of the Ford Bronco
bronco November 16, 2020
Donald N. Frey, Ford product manager, came up with the Mustang, and now he came up with the youth-oriented off-road vehicle, the Bronco.
After World War II, returning soldiers were buying up Jeeps similar to what transported them during the war. Ford wanted to get in on that trend by producing a vehicle "equally at home on rugged mountain grades or on a run to the shopping center" (per their advertisements).
Ford Bronco: In the Beginning (1966 – 1977)
1967 Ford Bronco 2 door wagon
The original 1966 Ford Bronco was an Off-Road Vehicle (ORV) intended to compete with the Jeep CJ ("Civilian Jeep") and the International Harvester Scout produced in 1961 to compete with the Jeep. The Bronco was easy to maneuver due to its small size, and its simple flat surfaces were both inexpensive and easy to protect from rocks.
First generation, Ford Bronco ranger wagon, 1972-1976.
The compact Bronco came in three body styles: "Wagon" with two doors and a removable hardtop; "Roadster" without a roof and with inserts instead of doors; and "Sports Utility Pickup"(aka "Half Cab") which replaced the two-person rear bench seat and hardtop with a mini pickup bed. All three styles had a three-speed manual transmission until 1973 when a three-speed automatic was offered.
The Roadster was not popular and so was discontinued after 1968. The Half Cab lasted until 1973. That left the Wagon as the "winner and still champion" through 1977. The first year, Ford sold an estimated 24,000 Broncos, beating out the Scout and coming in second to Jeep.
Approximate base price of the 1966 Bronco: $2,400.
Ford Bronco: Phase Two (1978 – 1979)
Ford Bronco Ranger 1979
By 1974, Ford needed to compete with the Chevy Blazer and the Dodge Ramcharger and build a larger and more comfortable Bronco. But plans for the redesign were put on hold due to the 1973 oil embargo imposed by the Organization of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC).
In 1978, the second generation Bronco debuted with three doors, a removable fiberglass hardtop, and what would become a signature Bronco hallmark: a rear window that lowered into the door. The interior was "cushier," more like a car, with more options, and seated up to six adults.
Also, the seats folded down easily, converting it to a pickup as needed. A catalytic converter was added in the 1979 model. Both 1978 and 1979 models came with two choices of transmissions: a four-speed manual or a four-speed automatic. The automatic transmission came with the option of a full-time four-wheel drive system.
When the 1978 Bronco was released in mid-1977, the response was so great that many customers were on a waiting list to purchase, some up to six months. Understandably, the 1978 Bronco won most of the "4×4 of the Year" and "Truck of the Year" awards.
Ford Bronco: Phase Three (1980 – 1986)
The 1980 Bronco remained full sized but was smaller and lighter with a more aerodynamic design. Ford wanted a more fuel-efficient Bronco due to rising prices of gasoline, and it wanted to make the Bronco drive better both on and off the road. Also, gone was the solid front axle in favor of an independent front suspension system for a smoother ride—a very rare feature back then.
There were three different four-speed manual transmissions offered as well as a three-speed automatic, and a four-speed automatic with overdrive.
The most instantly recognizable redesign was the Ford logo, the blue oval emblem. Previous models had "FORD" lettering across the hood. Sadly, to some, the iconic Bronco horse was removed.

The Ford Bronco II was another response to high gasoline prices and to the competition of the compact Jeep Cherokee and Chevy S-10 Blazer. It was closer in size to the original Bronco and came with a manual or automatic transmission.
It was in the vanguard of the new breed of SUVs with the advantages of large four-wheel-drive vehicles and the convenience of conventional station wagons. It was in production through 1990.
Approximate base price of the 1984 Bronco II: $11,000.
Ford Bronco: Phase Four (1987 – 1991)
From 1987 through 1991, the Bronco was imported from Venezuela. The aerodynamics were improved with a reshaped front bumper, flatter grille up front, composite headlights, and a reshaped hood. It could now climb to 100 miles per hour.
The interior included redesigned front seats, door panels, controls, steering wheel, and instrument panels. Also, in the interest of safety, rear wheel anti-lock brakes were a standard feature. Also new was the "Shift on the Fly" system that allowed the Bronco to smoothly switch among two-wheel drive low, four-wheel drive, high four-wheel drive low and automatic.
The birth of the 1991 Ford Explorer signaled the end for the Ford Bronco. Both off-road enthusiasts and families delighted in the Explorer—so much so that the 1991 Bronco was treated as old news.
Approximate base price of the 1987 Bronco: $13,500.
Ford Bronco: Fifth and (Supposedly) Final Phase (1992 – 1996)

The 1992 Bronco was a very popular redesign. Ford noticed that the large, two-door SUVs were losing favor in the marketplace, seriously outpaced by the four-door Explorer and later by the larger Expedition and Excursion. This three-door hardtop may be the most famous (infamous) of all Broncos: The world watched as the white Bronco sped along the Los Angeles freeways with OJ Simpson inside. (After passing through several owners, it now resides at a crime museum in Tennessee.)
The "swan song" of the Bronco brand implemented safety upgrades, such as three-point seat belts for the rear seat, air bags, a center rear brake light, and a fixed roof. Design changes included wraparound composite headlights, a larger grille, and a larger front bumper.
In mid-1996, Ford decided to discontinue the Bronco. The last one rolled off the assembly line on June 12, 1996, at Michigan's Ford Truck Plant,
For 30 years, the Bronco established a category and remained the one to beat as Jeep, Chevrolet, Dodge, International Harvester, and others tried to dethrone it. Today, collectors and surfers covet the Bronco for its simplicity of design and purpose.
Ford Bronco: The 21st Century
Ford announced in 2017 that a new Bronco was in the works. It's been a long wait, but is expected to be available for sale in June 2021. Reservations are being taken, and in December 2020, those reservations can be converted to an order at your Ford Dealer.
Fittingly, the first Broncos will be built at Michigan's Ford Truck Plant, right where the 20th century Broncos finished.
Expected approximate base price of the 2021 Bronco: $30,000

Top Federal Law Enforcement Officials Leave Positions
April 8, 2019 • by POL Staff • Bookmark +
President Donald Trump and White House allies pushing for a harder line on immigration sped their campaign Monday to clean house at the Department of Homeland Security with a mission far wider than just the departure of Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen.
The head of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, L. Francis Cissna, and Homeland Security General Counsel John M. Mitnick are expected to be leave their positions, according to people familiar with the matter.
Nielsen submitted her resignation Sunday after meeting with Trump at the White House, and three days earlier the administration withdrew the nomination of Ron Vitiello to lead Immigrations and Customs Enforcement. Other longtime civil servants in agency posts are also expected to leave, said officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly, the Associated Press reports.
Trump announced Sunday that U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Kevin McAleenan would take over for Nielsen at Homeland Security on an acting basis. Trump spokesman Hogan Gidley expressed hope that McAleenan's experience would lead to "massive changes" at the border.
Additionally, the director of the Secret Service Randolph Alles is leaving his job, but that departure is said to be unrelated to the immigration upheaval.

Hey YA Books Central, thanks for having me on the blog.
I came to novel writing by a seriously circuitous path. I'm a singer songwriter, but after my son was born I was completely happy singing to my audience of one. I pretty much stopped performing and took what turned out to be a very long break from songwriting.
After a few years, the creative urge was back with a vengeance, so I tried my hand at a dozen picture books. Because you know, picture book stories are SIMPLE, like the very best songs. Since I was reading a HUNDRED picture books a day, I figured, I have this.
Needless to say, I was totally wrong about the picture books, although a few good things came from my efforts. One was that I started going to SCBWI conferences, where I heard about this thing called YA.
Love at first read, that's how it was for me with YA, for a myriad of reasons. One of the biggest? Timing. Becca Fitzpatrick's book, Finale was just coming out when I started wolfing down YA, and being a new mom is kind of...paranormal. You shapeshift from your old premom self into something greater: a Mother. The thing is you can't possibly be that new person 100% of the time. Mothers are all seeing, all knowing, endlessly patient, compassionate, and of course, selfless. Can anyone be that GOOD all the time? This—is how fictitious villains are born. Plus, you're thrown into a million new situations—with other moms. It's like high school all over again. Alpha moms. Granola moms. Barbie moms. Where do you fit? Where do you want to fit?
When a friend suggested I try NaNoWriMo, I attempted writing a YA of my own. A LANDSLIDE of words poured out on the page—way too many words to go back to writing only songs. So I wrote a couple novels. But. The songs showed up anyway. All my main characters are musicians. Or monsters.
I love songs and composed music. First few drafts? I listen to music while I write. Then, I take those songs and pieces—which are almost always new, or new to me, because songs I already know can carry lots of baggage in their little song hands—and I create a playlist. I put this playlist on whenever I work on the book. The music brings me straight into the moment, straight into the scene. From there, the writing flows, often to the rhythm of whatever's playing. Mood. Sometimes dialogue. Pace. Emotion. It all comes from the music.
Once though, I added a song that I already knew to a playlist. I added Chris Whitley's Hotel Vast Horizon to the playlist I was compiling for Before Goodbye. The song spread throughout the story like the most beautiful vine, its curling tendrils of yearning and tender shoots of truth growing into what is probably the most important theme of the novel: There is a space within us, and between us, an everexpanding space that's all around us, that, even while housing us, houses something greater than us. And in this place—which sometimes takes the form of music—even in the very worst times, we can find hope.

Toe taps and tongue clicks.
I watch, transfixed, as classical guitarist Gabriel Tomas Garcia has Cal play the same twelve measures again, and again. Each time, the music is the same. Each time, it is different.
Over and over the master teacher articulates the running sixteenth notes, their incessant motion broken only by the occasional eighth note, until finally, at the end of the section, Cal hits the final note, a whole note with a fermata hovering above it like a watchful eye.
The fermata tells the player to hold the note beyond its standard value, relying on his discretion as to duration. In other words, you hold the note as long as you want.
This is a surprisingly subjective idea for composed music.
Cal holds the note— and the rest of us hold, too, the dozen or so students who sit on the folding chairs that ring the classroom, all willing victims to the music's power. We hold our bodies still, and we each hold our breath, as if the music has encircled our very throats like an impossibly beautiful noose.
The main theme of a Bach fugue—that's what Cal's working so hard on. The subject. The seed. Garcia is attempting to show Cal that if he doesn't catch this germ, doesn't suffer the sickness—as well as find the cure—he will fail in his musical endeavor.
So says the master in so many words.
Only in this case, so many words means no words at all.
ting on the unclaimed twin bed across from his. It's the second day of the Manhattan School of Music's Summer Guitar Intensive and Cal's assigned roommate hasn't shown up yet. Cal's guess is car trouble, my money's on stage fright. Programs like this, although they're open to high school students like us, like Cal's no-show roommate, are geared toward professional players. They're basically pressure cookers.
I punch Cal in the arm. I can do this because he's one of my best friends. I can also ignore his response to the blow, his mock indignation—which I do, and continue.
This whole time Cal's arms have been wrapped around his guitar, and now he plunges into the piece he's played so many times today, drops into the racing waves of sixteenth notes like he's an Olympic swimmer, and maybe his attention's been on the water all along..."
Sounds great, right?! Keep reading for a chance to win a copy of Before Goodbye.
About: Music means more than anything to high school student Cate Reese; it's also what unites her with Cal Woods.

Vases, the most #CheapΧc on the Internet!
I have to be honest, although it's on the market since 2000, I only recently discovered an amazing Belgian company very interesting for carpets, characterized by a contemporary edge.
Casalis – this is the name of the brand – immediately impressed me by the design of their products that are never ordinary but at the same time they manage to keep the elegant and refined style that I personally love. I talk about plain colors but with a special attention to the product texture.
Added to this important and convenient side of their company, they offer a huge variety in terms of shapes, sizes and colors for their products, to ensure that they can be perfectly adapted to a particular place or room. There is nothing more annoying that finding the product of our dreams not available in the right size, and I must say that it's something that happens quite often.
So…what do you think? Do you like Casalis carpets?

What Is Solar Panel Made Of
Talk To The Solar Panel Experts
Solar Basics: What are solar panels made of?
We have a unique and fortunate position in Australia, with high exposure to intense sun and plenty of space for solar panels. If you want to install a solar panel system at your home or commercial property, get in touch with the experts at Captain Green Solar to find out more about solar panels made of and start your solar journey sooner, rather than later. You can also use our solar panel calculator to determine the savings you can acquire from installing with Captain Green. Were available on 1300 361 682.
A Short History Of Solar Panels
The development of solar energy goes back more than 100 years. In the early days, solar energy was used primarily for the production of steam which could then be used to drive machinery. But it wasn't until the discovery of the "" by Edmond Becquerel that would allow the conversion of sunlight solar electric energy. Becquerel's discovery then led to the invention in 1893 by Charles Fritts of the first genuine solar cell which was formed by coating sheets of selenium with a thin layer of gold. And from this humble beginning would arise the device we know today as the solar panel.
Russel Ohl, an American inventor on the payroll of Bell Laboratories, patented the world's first silicon solar cell in 1941. Ohl's invention led to the production of the first solar panel in 1954 by the same company. Solar panels found their first mainstream use in space satellites. For most people, the first solar panel in their life was probably embedded in their new calculator – circa the 1970s!
Today, solar panels and complete solar panel systems are used to power a wide variety of applications. Yes, solar panels in the form of solar cells are still being used in calculators. However, they are also being used to provide solar power to entire homes and commercial buildings, such as Google's headquarters in California.
Silicon: Raw Material In Solar Cells
Silicon is the second most common element in the earths crust. According to the Minerals Education Coalition, it isnt found pure in nature rather, its found combined with oxygen in rocks such as obsidian, granite, and sandstone, in a form known as silica. Silicon can be mined from quartzite, mica, and talc, but sand is its most abundant ore source. The silicon in solar panels is manufactured through a reduction process in which the silica is heated with a carbon material and the oxygen is removed, leaving behind purer, metallurgical-grade silicon.
From there, the grade must be further purified into polysilicon, the solar-grade purity of which is 99.999 percent. To yield polysilicons of different grades, several processes may be applied to the element. For electronic-grade polysilicon, which has a higher purity percentage, the metallurgical-grade silicone must pass through hydrogen chloride at extremely high temperatures and undergo distillation. But to yield a solar-grade end product, the silicone goes through a chemical refinement process. In this process, gases are passed through melted silicon to remove impurities such as boron and phosphorus. In its pure form, solar-grade silicon is then turned into cylinders called ingots, which are then sliced into the small conductive pieces that absorb the sunlight in solar panels.

The Photovoltaic Affect Monocrystalline Polycrystalline And Thin
Solar photovoltaics are made with a number of parts, the most important of which are silicon cells. Silicon, atomic number 14 on the periodic table, is a nonmetal with conductive properties that give it the ability to convert sunlight into electricity. When light interacts with a silicon cell, it causes electrons to be set into motion, which initiates a flow of electricity. This is known as the photovoltaic effect.
However, silicon cells alone cant provide electricity for your home. They are paired with a metal casing and wiring, which allow the solar cells electrons to escape and supply useful power. Silicon comes in a number of different cell structures: single cell , polycrystalline or amorphous forms, most commonly associated with thin film solar panels.
Weatherproof Junction Box Is Added
In the final step, the manufacturer attaches a weatherproof junction box to the back of the module, including the cables needed to connect panels together during installation.Before leaving the factory, each completed solar panel undergoes a series of quality-control tests and a final deep clean. Then, its packed for transport and ready to install on a rooftop just like yours.

Solar panels glimmering in the sun are an icon of all that is green. But while generating electricity through photovoltaics is indeed better for the environment than burning fossil fuels, several incidents have linked the manufacture of these shining symbols of environmental virtue to a trail of chemical pollution. And it turns out that the time it takes to compensate for the energy used and the greenhouse gases emitted in photovoltaic panel production varies substantially by technology and geography.
That's the bad news. The good news is that the industry could readily eliminate many of the damaging side effects that do exist. Indeed, pressure for it to do so is mounting, in part because, since 2008, has moved from Europe, Japan, and the United States to China, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Taiwan today nearly half the world's photovoltaics are manufactured in China. As a result, although the overall track record for the industry is good, the countries that produce the most photovoltaics today typically do the worst job of protecting the environment and their workers.
Acid Drain:
The paper's investigation, , profiled a Chinese polysilicon facility owned by Luoyang Zhonggui High-Technology Co., located near the Yellow River in the country's Henan province. This facility supplied polysilicon to Suntech Power Holdings, at the time the world's largest solar-cell manufacturer, as well as to several other high-profile photovoltaics companies.
Carbon in Creation:
Do Solar Panels Contain Heavy Metals
Yes, solar panels do contain heavy metals. The most common heavy metals used in solar panels are cadmium and lead. These metals are used because they are good conductors of electricity and are very stable, meaning they do not corrode easily. While these metals are stable, they are also toxic and can be harmful to the environment and human health if they are not disposed of properly. When solar panels are produced, the cadmium and lead are usually encapsulated in glass or plastic to prevent them from leaching out. However, over time, the encapsulation can degrade and the heavy metals can leach into the environment. This is why it is important to recycle solar panels properly at the end of their lifespan. While the heavy metals in solar panels can be harmful, it is important to remember that the emissions from fossil fuels are much more harmful to the environment and human health. Solar panels are a clean and renewable energy source that can help to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels.

Ok So How Green Is All Of This
Yes, it's true that manufacturing solar panels creates carbon dioxide, like the manufacturing of most things. There's also some legitimate concern about solar panel disposal.
But as solar panel manufacturing becomes more efficient, its carbon footprint has been shrinking significantly. A 2016 study reports that the overall emissions produced decreased by 17 to 24 percent every time install capacity has doubled in the last 40 years.
And the overall greenhouse gas emissions involved in solar energy is still much lower than coal or natural gas. Solar panels themselves can last for decades without much upkeep and because their parts dont wear out easily, PV panels are well-known to continue producing clean electricity well beyond their often-lengthy warranties, though sometimes at slightly less efficiency as the years fade from one to the next.
At the end of the life for a panel, some manufacturers offer global recycling programs for their customers.
A June 2012 National Renewable Energy Laboratory study investigating the photovoltaic degradation rates of about 2,000 solar installations over a period of 40 years found the median solar system lost just 0.5 percent of its power output per year. So, by the end of a typical 25-year warranty, the solar panels on your roof could still be operating at about 87 percent of their original capacity.
Plus, with the rising popularity of solar, recycling programs and companies are expected to grow and become more robust in the future.
Are Solar Panels Toxic
How Solar Panels Are Made
Despite the large amount of information circulating about solar panels being toxic, modern crystalline silicon solar panels contain virtually no toxic materials. The claims of toxic solar panels come from the mostly obsolete thin-film solar panels which did contain trace amounts of cadmium and telluride. However, unless these panels are broken up into fragments, the trace amount of cadmium is contained within the EVA layers and cannot leach out.
Modern crystalline silicon solar panels contain only a trace amount of lead in the solder used for the cell interconnections. However, the use of solder is also being phased out with the new busbar compression joining techniques and conductive paste materials. It's worth noting solder is used in hundreds of millions of electrical devices and appliances. There are far more toxic elements used in consumer electronic devices, mobile phones, computers, & TVs, which is why electronic waste or E-waste is such a large global problem.
Roughly 99% of the solar panels installed around the world today are of the silicon crystalline variety and do not contain cadmium or telluride. Solar panels are very benign and even when damaged they do not cause any contamination as the cells are encapsulated within very durable polymer layers and contain no readily soluble materials. However, like all appliances, solar panels need to be collected and recycled at the end of life which we discuss in the section below.

Solar Photovoltaic Cell Basics
When light shines on a photovoltaic cell also called a solar cell that light may be reflected, absorbed, or pass right through the cell. The PV cell is composed of semiconductor material the semi means that it can conduct electricity better than an insulator but not as well as a good conductor like a metal. There are several different semiconductor materials used in PV cells.
When the semiconductor is exposed to light, it absorbs the lights energy and transfers it to negatively charged particles in the material called electrons. This extra energy allows the electrons to flow through the material as an electrical current. This current is extracted through conductive metal contacts the grid-like lines on a solar cells and can then be used to power your home and the rest of the electric grid.
The efficiency of a PV cell is simply the amount of electrical power coming out of the cell compared to the energy from the light shining on it, which indicates how effective the cell is at converting energy from one form to the other. The amount of electricity produced from PV cells depends on the characteristics of the light available and multiple performance attributes of the cell.
Learn more below about the most commonly-used semiconductor materials for PV cells.
Thin-Film Photovoltaics
Perovskite Photovoltaics
Organic Photovoltaics
Multijunction Photovoltaics
Concentration Photovoltaics
Solar panels are made of monocrystalline or polycrystalline silicon solar cells soldered together and sealed under an anti-reflective glass cover. Once light hits the solar cells, the photovoltaic effect starts, and electricity is created. The five key steps in making a solar panel are:
1. Make the solar cells
2. Solder solar cells together to create a panel
3. Install a backsheet, front glass layer, and frame
4. Install a junction box
5. Quality testing

Solar Panel Types By Cost
Monocrystalline panels carry a hefty price tag, due to its energy-intensive and inefficient manufacturing process with only a 50% yield for every silicon crystal.
Polycrystalline modules are cheaper because they make use of the crystal fragments leftover from monocrystalline production, which results in a simpler manufacturing process and lower production costs.
Among thin-film solar panels, CIGS is the most expensive, followed by CdTe and amorphous silicon. Apart from the lower acquisition cost, thin-film modules can be easier to install thanks to their lighter weight and flexibility, which lowers the cost of labor.
While the total cost of residential systems has declined by more than 65% over the last decade, the soft cost of a system has actually risen from 58% of total system cost in 2014 to 65% in 2020.
For more information about soft costs, check out our article on the soft costs in the solar industry, and whats being done to reduce them.
Amorphous silicon $0.43 $0.50
Note that these figures dont include the cost of installation and labor. With labor and other overhead factors, the total can rise to $2.50 to $3.50 per watt.
How Big Is A 415w Solar Panel
A 415w solar panel is a comfortably high-range residential solar panel. Typically, this solar panel wattage can serve your power needs without the high price tag associated with 500w panels.
This wattage could also work for commercial installations depending on your power needs.
Solar arrays are created by stringing many solar panels together to improve their power output and efficiency. Choosing the correct wattage solar panel is essential to meet your power needs without overspending.
If you have your power needs and the number of panels you can place handy, you can easily find how much wattage each panel needs.
And whatever wattage solar panel you get, remember they only produce around 70 to 80% of their maximum power overall. So a 500w solar panel will make around 370w altogether, and a 415w solar panel will produce about 290w.
That might seem like an enormous difference, but you can easily make it up with a couple more solar panels. You want a solar system that produces 1.5Kw daily, a little more than the average home.
Youll need about two 500w solar panels to cover this, plus it will produce a lot more excess power. Or you could get two 415w panels to make that much power, plus a little extra. If you compare the prices, youll find the 415w panels far more cost-effective.

Learning Where Solar Panels Are Made Is Part Of Ethical Consumerism

Determining where solar panels are made is not as easy as one might think. Of the world's top 10 solar panel manufacturers, seven are based in China, while only First Solar is based in the United States. The two remaining manufacturers on the list are from South Korea and Canada, though the latter is often considered Chinese as well.
But a manufacturer's country of origin is only part of determining where solar panels come from. Manufacturers have factories in many parts of the world, and most manufacturers are actually just assemblers of the final product. Like many manufactured goods, a single solar panel is made of multiple parts that are manufactured by separate companies located all over the world using raw materials from even more parts of the world.
The Global Supply Chain
alejomiranda / Getty Images
To determine where solar panels are made requires tracing the solar chain from final product back to their component parts and the raw materials they are all made of.
From top to bottom, a solar panel sitting on a rooftop is comprised of:
a backsheet that provides more protection
a junction box that connects the panel to an electric circuit
and additional adhesives and sealants between the parts.
Those parts are all manufactured from smaller components, which are themselves manufactured from primary materials coming from many regions.
In 2020, the United States imported roughly 86% of new solar PV modules, capable of producing 26.7 gigawatts of electricityenough to supply the electricity needs of Arizona during the summer. By contrast, U.S.-based manufacturers produced 4.4 GW of solar PV modules. Imported modules came primarily from Asia, especially Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand, and South Korea. China, whose imports are the subject of much political controversy, accounted for merely 1% of module imports to the U.S. at the end of 2020.
Solar modules themselves are made of solar cells, which in turn are made of silicon wafers, the thin slices of silicon that are used as semiconductors in all electronics, including solar panels. China controls at least 60% of wafer manufacturing, including 25% by a single company, Longi Green Energy Technology Co., the largest solar company in the world.

What Does It Take To Manufacture Solar Panels
Weve covered raw materials, but how much energy does it take to make solar panels? Unfortunately, theres no straight answer as differently sized systems require varying power to manufacture. As a general idea, it might take 200kWh to make a 100W solar panel.
Solar installation costs explained
Metal Conductors Are Added
At this stage, the silicon wafer starts to become a solar panel when it is treated and metal conductors are added to the surface in a grid-like matrix. These conductors convert sunlight into electricity.
The wafer is put in an oven-like chamber and phosphorus is diffused in a thin layer over the surface. The phosphorus provides a negative electrical charge which works with the positive charge of the boron added in step two of the process.
This positive-negative charge is essential for how a PV cell functions. When sunlight hits a PV cell it stimulates the phosphorus and boron electrons, and as the electrons move around this creates a flow of electricity, which is transferred through a wire to your battery or directly to your appliances.

I like noodling around with software. Chiefly because I hate reading instruction manuals.
The most boring people I met on my search for Oldton were the local historians, archivists and ancestry buffs who seemed only interested in pinning down my lost town like a butterfly in a glass cabinet.
I liked the people who were more like children, chasing the story with their nets, enjoying a zig-zag run across the shared imaginary terrain and not worrying unduly about ever catching anything.
The whole point of most online adventures is to *not* know what the next link will bring; to be unable to guess the next card in the pack.


Experience Leyton Jubilee Park at dusk on a 2.5K trail through it's wicked woods and fiendish footpaths, collecting treats and watching out for pop-up glow-in-the-dark dance performances.
A fun-filled and not-so-frightening evening for all the family, Waltham Forest residents are invited to get out for an active Hallowe'en themed evening in the superb surroundings of Leyton Jubilee Park. Fancy dress is encouraged, but as long as you have comfortable shoes for the trail, wear whatever you like!
Beginning at 5.00pm with a 5K race for runners of all ages and abilities, with chip-timing and instant results available after you finish along with a special souvenir medal.
Once the moon is high at 5.30pm, the Trick & Treat Trail begins, allowing families to explore the marked and marshalled route through the park's riverside walkway, woodland paths and across the high moonlit plateau. Treats will be there for the discovering with spooky sounds and a special performance from some devlish dancers as you make your way to the fright-free finish line and a hero's medal.
Places are limited, so booking in advance is essential. After booking, you'll receive a confirmation email instantly and final instructions one week before the event. On arrival, you'll need to check in to collect wristbands or 5K race numbers and be ready for your briefing 10 minutes before your scheduled start time.

Q: How to implement generic polymorphism in c#? to avoid confusion I summarised some code:
namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main()
        {
            IManager<ISpecificEntity> specificManager = new SpecificEntityManager();
            IManager<IIdentifier> manager = (IManager<IIdentifier>) specificManager;
            manager.DoStuffWith(new SpecificEntity());
        }
    }

    internal interface IIdentifier
    {
    }

    internal interface ISpecificEntity : IIdentifier
    {
    }

    internal class SpecificEntity : ISpecificEntity
    {
    }

    internal interface IManager<TIdentifier> where TIdentifier : IIdentifier
    {
        void DoStuffWith(TIdentifier entity);
    }

    internal class SpecificEntityManager : IManager<ISpecificEntity>
    {
        public void DoStuffWith(ISpecificEntity specificEntity)
        {
        }
    }
}

When I debug the code I get an InvalidCastException in Main().
I know that ISpecificEntity implements IIdentifier.
But obviously a direct cast from an IManager<ISpecificEntity> into an IManager<IIdentifier> does not work.
I thought working with covariance could do the trick but changing IManager<TIdentifier> into IManager<in TIdentifier> does not help either.
So, is there a way do cast specificManager into an IManager<IIdentifier>?
Thanks and all the best.

A: With IManager<IIdentifier> you can do such thing:
IIdentifier entity = new NotSpecificEntity();
manager.DoStuffWith(entity);

That will lead to exception, in your SpecificEntityManager, because it accepts only parameters of type ISpecificEntity
UPDATE:
You can read more about covariance and contravariance in C# at Eric Lippert's blog

A: Why not:
ISpecificEntity bankAccountManager = new SpecificEntity();
IManager<IIdentifier> manager = (IManager<IIdentifier>)bankAccountManager;
manager.DoStuffWith(new SpecificEntity());

?

Cultural Enrichment Week
Saint Luke's College of Health Sciences
Saint Luke's College of Health Sciences kicked off Cultural Enrichment Week Monday evening, October 7, 2019. The Student Government Association hosted a potluck dinner. Attendees enjoyed everything from sopapillas to rumbledethumps. The fall speaker series followed with Micah Flint, MPA, RN, from the Institute for International Medicine (INMED).
Flint presented on the many components that affect culture. He said culture was much more than one's race but involved a variety of components such as language, rituals, customs, beliefs, and more.
When providing health care, Flint recommended always having an understanding of different cultures. He shared his story of being a nurse volunteer in Africa. While in Africa, he worked in an area that had a strict caste system. In this system, the nomadic tribe was always served, treated, or waited on last. The volunteers were warned treating tribe members before other patients would result in devastating the reputation of the clinic.
Flint said that in the States, there is a move to patient-centered, culturally sensitive health care. The primary goal is to provide individualized care and restore the emphasis on personal relationships through the application of culturally sensitive skills.
Flint introduced Kleinmans's eight questions to help health care providers treat patients with cultural sensitivity. These questions go beyond asking "Where does it hurt?" to better understanding the patients' fears, beliefs, and understanding of their illness.
On Tuesday, the Student Government Association invited students to dress up in attire to reflect one's culture and background. The College also provided a free lunch with Greek food for all.
The week wrapped up with a large-scale display titled "Facing Prejudice." The exhibition is a journey of questions, personal insights, and factual statements, designed to challenge viewers and empower them to fight for understanding and tolerance in their everyday lives.
It's been a terrific week as the College celebrated the varied backgrounds that make our community so richly diverse.

Follow Parish Council activities in detail and check progress of planning applications.
The minutes from Goudhurst Parish Council's March meeting have now been published.
The historic Parish of Goudhurst has a vacancy for an Assistant Clerk (Clerk Designate) to the Parish Council, based in Goudhurst.
Initially the job will be 15/21 hours a week, but this is likely to increase to 28/37 hours.
Salary will be in the range of £25/£30K FTE subject to skills and experience.
Please send your application to The Chairman of Goudhurst Parish Council Cllr Antony Harris, The Hop Bine, Risebridge Farm, Goudhurst TN17 1HN, before 30 April 2019. Interviews will take place during May.
In the autumn of 2019, Tunbridge Wells Borough Council will be introducing new glass, food waste and electrical item collections. Garden waste will no longer be automatically collected, to be replaced by a £52/year opt-in garden waste service.
The pond's fountain is not currently working. Parish Councillor Ed Bates has been in his waders several times to clear the inlet but it is a losing battle just now. In consultation with the rest of the Council, it was agreed to switch it off for the time being. It was sucking in fallen leaves. Now that the heat of summer is over it is no longer needed to be on to aerate the water.
With the centenary of the Armistice approaching, 35 Goudhurst & Kilndown parishioners undertook a pilgrimage to the Great War battlefields around Ypres on 21st September, to commemorate the 68 men and one woman from the parish who died in the First World War. All their names were specifically mentioned at some point along the route.
The group paused at the cemetery where George Chestney, once a gardener at Brandfold, lies buried; at other cemeteries, brief services were conducted by the Rev. Hugh Nelson at the graves of William Roff and George Luck, farmworkers before the war. Members of both these soldiers' families, visiting for the first time, placed poppy wreaths on the graves.
The group heard commentaries from Royal British Legion branch chairman Tim Nicholson and local historian Roger Joye at some notable locations, including the scene of the crucial action led by The Buffs against the first ever gas attack by the Germans (April 1915), and the advance of the British army towards Passchendaele (July – November 1917).
The group later moved on to the Menin Gate memorial, where the names of six men from Goudhurst and Kilndown are carved among those of 55,000 British and Empire soldiers who died in the area and who have no known grave. The standard of the Goudhurst & Kilndown branch of the Royal British Legion, (handled by Mick Harris) was on parade at the Last Post ceremony, and a wreath was formally laid.
Organised by Tim Nicholson, Peter Rolington and Roger Joye, the pilgrimage raised over £400 for RBL branch funds.
Goudhurst Village Pre-school is open for 2 – 5 year olds in Goudhurst, Kilndown and Curtisden Green.
£4.80 per hour (£14.40 per session), with an optional lunch club until 1 p.m.
A minimum of two sessions per child, per week, are required.
Kilndown has a new restaurant, with the opening of The Small Holding, situated on the one-acre site of the former Globe & Rainbow, Ranters Lane, Kilndown (TN17 2SG, 01892 890105).
Roger Coombs, (below) who died in 2011, and was instrumental in setting up this website, lived in the village from 1964 until his death.
The text he wrote for the homepage has remained virtually unchanged since 1999.
During the last years of his life he was engrossed in writing fiction and finished two books. He attempted to get them published, without success.
After his death, Caroline Tebbutt, Roger's daughter, resolved to get them published and now THE PILGRIM'S TALE by Roger Coombs is available from the website lulu.com. Caroline hopes it will also be soon be available at Amazon's Bookstore.
The Pilgrim's Tale, set in France, tells of a treasure hunt by a group of friends on the trail of a long-lost religious relic.
"It is a really good yarn and anybody who knew Roger will recognise many of his traits and interests which all find their way into the book. I have spent quite a while getting it ready for publishing and in doing so have read it many times. It still bears re-reading even though I practically know it off by heart. I hope that it may be a tangible reminder of Roger to his friends.
A Neighbourhood Development Plan is being created by a group of volunteers. Once a plan is adopted, it will mean that planning decisions for Goudhurst, Kilndown and Curtisden Green will have to be made in accordance with the neighbourhood plan (and other parts of the development plan) unless material considerations indicate otherwise.
There is pressure both from central and local government for an increased number of homes to be built in all parts of the country, even in those which have permitted little development in the past.
Formulating a plan will create a framework for future development that meets the wishes of parishioners.
A Neighbourhood Development Plan is planning document created by a parish or town council or a neighbourhood forum, which sets out vision for the neighbourhood area, and contains policies for the development and use of land in the area. Neighbourhood plans must be subjected to an independent examination to confirm that they meet legal requirements, and then to a local referendum. If approved by a majority vote of the local community, the neighbourhood plan will then form part of the statutory development plan.
Luck, coincidence and diligent research combined to replace the headstone on the war grave of a Goudhurst man, George Baker, one hundred years after he died during the Battle of the Somme.
In 2007, the late Bob Brown, then chairman of Goudhurst's Local History Society, discovered that George Baker's headstone showed his name as Barer. At his instigation, the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) re-engraved the name, but the result was far from satisfactory, with a K being imposed over the R.
On a visit to the Somme last September, local historian Roger Joye was surprised to find a wreath of poppies on the grave even though he and his wife, fellow historian Gill Joye, had found no direct descendants, despite extensive searching.
A few days later, the exact centenary of George Baker's death was commemorated at the war memorial in Goudhurst. It was attended by George Jessel DL, High Sheriff of Kent. When told of the mystery and the state of the headstone, he offered to contact the CWGC to see what could be done to improve the engraving.
On that same centenary day, 28th September 2016, members of George Baker's family made an unrelated visit to the grave at Méaulte, France. They planted a wooden cross bearing just their Christian names. In October, the CWGC wrote to George Jessel to say they had installed a brand new headstone and enclosed a photograph. By coincidence, the family's cross was included, with legible names.
Gill set about tracing the names, constructing a family tree descending from George's sister, Mary. Contact was then made with the family. It was then learned that the wreath Roger had seen had been laid by George Baker's 14 year-old great-great-niece, Miriam Small, during a school visit in July 2016.
In March this year, to commemorate the renewal of George Baker's headstone, Goudhurst & Kilndown Local History Society, the Goudhurst branch of the Royal British Legion and Great War Battlefields of Goudhurst arranged for a group of local people to attend a ceremony at the Cemetery at Méaulte.
Poppy wreaths were laid on George's grave (pictured) and the Last Post was sounded.
NOW ON SALE in Goudhurst Newsagent, High Street, Goudhurst.

Do you love to be outdoors and want to help your community?
If your answer is "yes", then volunteering as a Countryside Access Warden may be ideal for you. Wardens carry out simple tasks on Public Rights of Way such as clearing overgrown vegetation and improving waymarking so people can use footpaths, bridleways and byways easily.
Kent County Council are looking for volunteers to become Countryside Access Wardens in Goudhurst, Kilndown and Curtisden Green. You need to be over 18, fit enough to carry out light physical duties and able to spare at least a couple of hours every month at times convenient to you.
Knowledge of Public Rights of Way is not necessary as free training and equipment will be provided, a basic knowledge of map reading and regular access to a computer would be useful.
Sir Roy Strong, historian and former Director of the National Portrait Gallery and the V&A, accompanied BBC Radio Four's Justin Webb to record a radio interview in Goudhurst.
There are over 40 miles of public rights of way in Goudhurst parish, but the local footpaths need to be kept clear of overgrown hedges and brambles, and wobbly stiles and marker posts need to be repaired.

Q: How to VNC into Ubuntu 10.04 from a Mac I'm trying to remote login into my Ubuntu machine from my Mac following the instructions at this website:
link
When I try to login, I confirm to allow access on the Linus side, but on my Mac, it just says "Contacting 192.168.1.65" and doesn't do anything.


Our team recently worked with a National Public Radio reporter in Vancouver, introducing her to several clients for the sports-themed show "Only A Game."
Her first report from the Olympics, regarding the sights and sounds of the Games, aired on NPR last weekend, and I was delighted to listen to it online earlier today.
Speaking of "sounds of the Games" -- each night the crowds in Central Vancouver are bigger and bolder. Tonight's ice hockey match pairing Canada vs Norway has folks screaming and honking, and there's been an air horn or two in the distance.
While exiting USA House last night, it was fun to hear the Irish House throngs singing "O Canada" when the nation's first gold medal was presented across town at B.C. Place, a scene soon to be repeated with Canada's second gold confirmed today.
My favorite "Oh Canada" performance took place last Thursday when about 150 guests of Hudson's Bay Company (a client) and the Canadian Olympic Committee got a special post-Oprah private performance by The Canadian Tenors (check out the video for the full tune!).
This exclusive event marked the official opening of Canada Olympic House atop The Bay, downtown's home of the Olympic Superstore.
Sounds like a good time. Since Hudson's Bay Company is a client, I'm guessing you got your mitts on those awesome red mittens!
Indeed, the red mittens are in high demand. I bought a few pair before the waves of Olympic visitors arrived, fortunately. Thank you for reading the blog!

This 6 story business class hotel, which is located in the center of downtown West Palm Beach, wraps a 220 space garage and includes 165 hotel rooms each with wet bar, lap desk, WiFi access and 42" flat panel HDTV. The hotel's amenities feature a fitness studio, indoor pool, 1,800 sq. ft. eco-friendly event space with state-of-the-art audio/visual equipment, business center, meeting rooms, boardroom, gift shop, lobby bar, lounge, bakery cafe and restaurant with full commercial kitchen.
Due to the hotel's proximity to adjacent buildings, a vibrofloatation process was implemented to stabilize the soils before beginning vertical construction. Its structure, which is supported by a 3' thick matt foundation, includes cast-in-place concrete with post tension decking, masonry infill, painted stucco, fixed impact windows and built-up modified roof. A PTAC mechanical system, energy efficient InComm lighting and controls and 150 FPM traction elevators are also included. Recessed ceilings, cove lighting, granite and marble tile, carpeting and millwork are among the hotel's finishes.
As construction manager, and prior to commencing construction, Craft spent several months in preconstruction providing budget updates, systems and value analysis, constructability reviews, schedules and logistics plans as design progressed. The $20.7 million project, which required careful planning and coordination, was completed on time and in budget in 14 months.
