I've always considered historical detective fiction one of the hardest genres to pull off. Unlike historical romantic suspense, you can't depend on the characters' chemistry to take the heat off your plotting skills. Similarly, while historical fiction allows you to take interesting little detours into intriguing deadends as a writer, the "detective" part of this genre demands you hew to a certain pace that tends to cut out the excess bits, no matter how much you love them. It's a bit like creating a whole another universe for a fantasy novel, complete with strange customs and languages, except you're stuck with actual events and yet have to create a real feel for it in your reader.
I don't know why anybody would ever sign on for such grief, but I'm always glad when they do. Especially when someone does it as well as Madhulika Liddle (filmblogistan knows her better as DustedOff) in The Englishman's Cameo.
In the book, Muzzafar Jang is a minor aristocrat in Emperor Shahjahan's decadent, not to mention nearly bankrupt, court in Delhi. His taste for low company (read: commoners who do a bit more with their time than cultivate respectable vices like courtesans, opiates and pretty young boys) leads him deeper and deeper into the shadowy underbelly of a slowly rotting empire when he involves himself in the false arrest of a friend on charges of murder.
From its opening scenes at the Red Fort, or the Qila-i-Mubarak as it was called back then, to Jang's hilariously furtive jonesing for a cup of coffee, Cameo had me hooked and didn't let go until it was done. At the end, there were just so many things I wanted to know, I decided to ask Madhulika if she'd answer a few questions.
Q. 1. What made you choose the last years of Shahjahan's reign as the historical setting for The Englishman's Cameo?
A. This was the result of a combination of interest and necessity—I'd decided I wanted to write a historical detective novel, so to make life easier for myself, I had to set it in a time period that I liked, and which wouldn't be too difficult to research. Shahjahan's reign in Delhi is ideal for this: it's colourful and fascinating (the court at that time was probably the richest in the world), and thanks to contemporary travellers and diarists, there's plenty of material available for research.
Q. 2. Was the research difficult?
A. Not for the broader aspects of the setting. The political background; how people lived; what they ate and drank and read—all of that isn't difficult to find. The really tough bit was to figure out the obscure details. For instance, how much paperwork was prevalent in administration at that time (plenty. I discovered that the invention of paper was one of the technical advancements that enabled the Mughals, and the earlier medieval dynasties that ruled from Delhi, to control the administration of their empires). Other things that took me hours to unearth: how the Mughals drank coffee; what their boats looked like; what porcelain they used… and more.
Q. 3. In your acknowledgments you mention the historical walks you took with your sister. I grew up in Delhi and I'm ashamed to admit I didn't even know there was such a thing! Do you have recommendations or a favorite part?
A. Yes, there are people in Delhi who conduct historical and heritage walks, usually for a very nominal sum. The Delhi Chapter of the Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage (INTACH), for example, does fixed-route walks on weekends in areas such as Shahjahanabad, Mehrauli, Nizamuddin and the Lodhi Gardens. So does the India Habitat Centre, though they tend to explore some very obscure places as well. Among my favourite walks are in Mehrauli (Delhi's oldest continuously inhabited area), Shahjahanabad (especially Katra Khushal Rai, Naughara and Namakharam ki Haveli), and Nizamuddin: all very historic areas where many of the buildings are fairly well preserved.
Q. 4. What drew you towards historical detective fiction as a genre?
A. I have to confess I'm nuts about history. And about detective fiction. So the combination's irresistible! I read my first historical detective novel (Robert van Gulik's The Chinese Maze Murders) when I was a kid, and I've been fascinated by the genre ever since: the exotic nature of a historical novel—a way of life that's alien, and often surprisingly similar to our own—combined with a socio-economic and political scenario that one's (usually) read about only in school or college text books: I think that's so amazing. Used as a backdrop for a good old-fashioned whodunit, I think a historical setting can be both informative as well as entertaining.
Q. 5. I know from your movie blog that you're a fan of noir. And I thought I could see the influence in your work. Was I just imagining things?
A. No, I guess not! I love mysteries, noir or not. Personally, I don't think The Englishman's Cameo is as dark as a noir film would be, but some of the elements are definitely there. Unintentionally, I may add. It just so happened that after the first draft was written, I realised the plot and the main character needed spicing up. The first thing that came to mind was to include noir-ish elements (probably because I'm familiar with them?), and so that's what happened.
Q. 6. Speaking of film noir, as a Joseph Cotten fan struggling against the Humphrey Bogart juggernaut, I have to ask – who's your favorite? Or what are your favorite noir movies?
A. Frankly, I'm not much of a fan of Bogart (great actor, but not a favourite of mine!) or Joseph Cotten. But yes, I do like noir a lot. Some of Hitchcock's darker films—Rebecca, Spellbound, Rope—are among my favourites. Also Gaslight, The Night of the Hunter, Pursued (though that's noir crossover, Western + noir), Crossfire, and the unusual The Crimson Kimono, which is noir + romance + anti-racism. Two of my favourite Kurosawa films are superb noir: Stray Dog and High and Low.
Q. 7. There's something charmingly mid-20th century pop-fiction about The Englishman's Cameo (and I mean that as a complete compliment because I love that stuff and constantly bemoan the deterioration of talent that has made barely literate trash rocket to the top of bestseller lists these days), and one of the things that struck me about it, especially given its title, was the way it took the standard "white man in exotic climes gets caught up in shenanigans" story and flipped it. I'm so used to reading novels in which Muzaffar Jang would have been the brownie supporting character in the story of William Terry, ace English gunner on a personal quest. Was this deliberate or did the story just naturally evolve to that point?
A. Another confession: the book had no white characters to start off with. From the beginning, I'd decided my hero was going to be a Mughal nobleman. Then someone at a publishing house, to whom I narrated the plot, suggested I bring in a European—for a mundane reason: it would make the book more attractive for publishers abroad. I was initially hesitant, but after I did some research and discovered that there were a fair number of Europeans bumming about in India at the time, I decided to give it a try, mainly because I thought it would make the book more interesting, foreign markets or no. Thus William Terry (whose last name, by the way, is the same as that of an English traveller called Edward Terry who visited India in the 17th century).
A. Thank you! And yes, this is going to be a series. Right now I'm writing a set of short stories, all of which feature Muzaffar Jang, the detective of The Englishman's Cameo.
Q. 9. One of the things that made me laugh was Muzaffar's addiction to coffee. Was that a sly take on detectives with bad habits like House with his Vicodin and Holmes with his cocaine?
A. What's a detective without a vice?! Muzaffar started off being too goody-goody: he had to be given some weaknesses. I didn't like the idea of a hero who was an opium addict or partial to pretty boys, so (since I'm a coffee addict too), coffee seemed like a good option.
Q. 10. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this! One last question for those who liked The Englishman's Cameo and would like something in its vein while they're waiting for your next book: any recommendations?
A. There are loads of historical detectives out there, and some of them are really, really good. For a sensitive, warm style of writing and a detective whom I instinctively liked a lot, I'd suggest any of the Brother Cadfael books by Ellis Peters. Peter Tremayne's Sister Fidelma series, about an ancient Irish princess/lawyer/nun, are excellently plotted; and Robert van Gulik's novels and short stories about the medieval Chinese magistrate Judge Dee are fabulously rich in detail—besides being superb whodunits. Also check out Lindsey Davis's Falco books, a series featuring a detective in ancient Rome. Excellent, and very funny.
Other writers who mostly write historical detective fiction: C J Sansom, Ariana Franklin, PC Doherty, Boris Akunin (look out for his Sister Pelagia series, in which the detective is a nun in Czarist Russia), Giles Brandreth (his detective is Oscar Wilde) and Jason Goodwin. In India, I've rarely come across these in bookstores, but they're easily available on Amazon.

Lu over the Wall (Blu-ray Review)
February 27, 2019 By Brandon A. Duhamel Leave a Comment
Masaaki Yuasa is often referred to as a visionary anime director, and that title is definitely well-earned with a title like Walk on Girl in his catalog. With Lu over the Wall, the director takes on the classic tale of The Little Mermaid, which has been done multiple times, most notably in animation by Disney and Studio Ghibli's Ponyo. This being an anime production, Lu more resembles the latter both visually and thematically, although it doesn't quite reach the heights of Miyazaki Hayao's fantasy.
When his family leaves the bustle of Tokyo to return to their roots in a small fishing village, musically talented teenager Kai spends most of his time sulking and developing electronic beats alone his room on his laptop. Two of his classmates invite him to join their band and add his electronica to their guitar/bass duo, and their secret late-night rehearsals in the village's forbidden zone, where legend says dangerous mermaids lure fishermen and eat them – brings out Lu, a young mermaid who loves music and can sing. Furthermore, Lu's fins turn to legs when she hears music, and her singing compels humans to dance. Lu and Kai strike up a friendship and Lu helps Kai's new band garner fame, but that also puts Lu and her seafaring family in jeopardy due to the long-held fears in the village about the mermaids.
Lu over the Wall is a satisfying and at times mesmerizing modern update on the Little Mermaid tale, capturing lots of the modern teen sensibilities in its music and concerns. It is visually striking, despite some similarities to the Miyazaki effort, but there also lies the rub. One is hard-pressed to come into this film without the weight of what has come before it weighing on the back of one's mind. Can one make a Little Mermaid without referring to so many of the same tropes? The forbidden love? The fear of differences? The powerful father from the sea? Visually there's a similarity I see between the two mermaids in Lu and Ponyo as well, particularly the young Ponyo and Lu in their moe eyes and wide smiles, although that is the extent of it. Masaaki certainly has a unique style that borrows from Miyazaki in some ways but goes off in its own unique direction.
The strengths of Lu over the Wall are how Masaaki and his co-writer Yoshida Reiko build a genuine, heartfelt friendship between Kai and Lu, and his direction keeps the story energetic, and the artwork, the strongest part of the film — like a melted bag of Skittles poured over your brain – enticing.
Lu over the Wall looks beautiful in the 1.77:1 AVC 1080p encodement on Blu-ray. Colors are vibrant, the animation is crisp and clean, and there's little noise or banding.
The Audio
Lu over the Wall comes to Blu-ray with an engaging audio mix of its original Japanese track in DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 as well as an English dub in DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 and a French dub in Dolby Digital 5.1. The Japanese mix is wonderfully balanced with superb dynamic range, a high end that is easy on the ears, good panning of effects around the room, especially the musical effects and sounds of the sea, and a low end that, while it doesn't rattle the cupboards, is weighty and extends down rather far. The English dub sounds just as good, although the performance from the cast isn't quite as good to me as the Japanese.
The Supplements
The commentary and interview are excellent inclusions.
Audio commentary with Filmmakers
Interview with Director Yuasa Masaaki
Trailers and TV Spots
The Final Assessment
The artwork in Lu over the Wall pops, the story is sentimental, and the music is catchy. It doesn't quite work all together as well as Miyazaki's reworking of the Little Mermaid, Ponyo, or even reach the inventiveness of Masaaki's own Walk on Girl, but it's a strong outing and a gorgeous Blu-ray release.

Q: Can I create a package without a preexisting source file? As I understand it, the purpose of the Source: header in an rpm spec file is to specify a file (often a tar archive) that is used as the package payload.  This source file is typically generated beforehand, perhaps by make, and then rpmbuild is executed afterwards.
I'm wondering if it's possible to cut make out of the picture and just use rpmbuild.  Can the source file be created as part of the rpmbuild process itself, perhaps in the %build or %install step in the spec file?
If so, what does one use as the Source: header?  I can't just leave it blank, because rpmbuild complains.  Is there a way to tell rpm that the payload file is generated from within the spec file, and not supplied externally?
I don't want to create the source file separately because that would mean keeping track of the package name and version number in two places: in the rpm spec file, and also in whatever makefile or other script creates the payload file.  It seems like I should be able to do everything from within the spec file.

A: You want to call
%setup -q -c -T

see [1]. Example:
Name:           test
Version:        1
Release:        1%{?dist}
Summary:        Test
License:        ...

%description
Test

%prep
%setup -q -c -T

%build
echo "int main() { return 0; } " > test.cpp
gcc -o test test.cpp

%install
install -Dpm 0755 test %{buildroot}%{_bindir}/test

%files
%{_bindir}/test

%changelog
...

[1] http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm/s1-rpm-specref-macros.html

A: I had the a similar problem recently.  I ended up writing a script that read the spec file and did all the work.  We no longer had to manage Makefiles and spec files and whatever other ways some of our developers were managing this.
The script is publicly posted on github at:
https://github.com/alexnelsone/jenkins-rpm-build/blob/master/README.md.
It parses the info out of the spec file and then does all the work for you.

HomeMotorsports Formula EFormula E. Venturi driver line-up for season 7
Formula E. Venturi driver line-up for season 7
18 October 2020 Formula E, Motorsports 0
ROKiT Venturi Racing drivers for the FIA Formula E World Championship 2020/21 season will be Edoardo Mortara and Norman Nato.
Season 7 will mark Edo's fourth with Monaco's only racing team while the marque builds upon its long-standing connections with the 28-year-old Frenchman, Norman, who has served as the outfit's Reserve Driver since 2018.
A fresch yet familiar face
With two Rookie Test appearances in Marrakesh and countless hours of critical simulator time, Norman is an experienced and familiar face to ROKiT Venturi Racing, making his step up to the race seat a seamless one.
Since entering professional motorsport in 2006, Norman has moved from strength to strength in his career, finishing as the runner-up in F4 Eurocup 1.6 [two wins, eight podiums] and Formula Renault 2.0 Alps [four wins, eight podiums].
An impressive 2014 season – in which the Frenchman took a dominant victory in Monaco in Formula Renault 3.5 – allowed Norman to progress to GP2 [now Formula 2] where he took three wins and eight podiums in three seasons, registering fifth overall in 2016.
Most recently, Norman has finished third in both the 2018 European Le Mans Series and the 2019/20 FIA World Endurance Championship, while also finishing in second place at the 88th running of the prestigious 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Youth meets experience
The 2020/21 campaign will mark Edo's fourth consecutive year with the team, building upon what has been a successful and fruitful collaboration to date.
With one victory and three further podium finishes, the Swiss-Italian is the Monegasque marque's most decorated driver while also becoming its most capped in 2020.
ROKiT Venturi Racing's Season 7 driver line-up pairs youth with experience as it prepares for Formula E's World Championship year which commences on January 16, 2021, in Santiago, Chile.
Norman Nato, ROKiT Venturi Racing Driver
I've been a part of the ROKiT Venturi Racing family since 2018, so to secure a full-time race seat with the team for Season 7 is a great step forward and I can't wait to show what we can achieve together. Over the past two years, we have built very solid foundations and we share the same bright ambitions for the future. I would like to thank Susie [Wolff] and the team for believing in my abilities and giving me this opportunity to race in the FIA Formula E World Championship. I'm very excited to hit the ground running in Santiago this January.
Edoardo Mortara, ROKiT Venturi Racing Driver
I'm excited to continue my journey with ROKiT Venturi Racing into Season 7 of the FIA Formula E World Championship. There have been some real highlights over the past four years and I'm very keen to see what we can do together moving forward into this next stage of the team's development. Santiago is a special place for me and I know that by the time January comes around, we will be in a better position to challenge our rivals. We saw some real promise during the first few races of Season 6 and although the season didn't finish the way we wanted it to, we've put a lot of work in since then and I know we're all hungry to get back out on track. I'm really happy to welcome Norman to his new role with the team – he's earned it and I'm looking forward to working more closely with him. Working together, I hope that we will deliver some strong results in what is a landmark year for both the team and the championship.
Susie Wolff, ROKiT Venturi Racing Team Principal
As our Reserve Driver Norman has proven his ability at every available opportunity, not only showing speed during in-season testing but also demonstrating clear commitment to his role in our simulator. The decision to promote him to a full time race seat is indicative of his contribution to the team so far – he has earned the opportunity to show us what he can do behind the wheel. Season 7 will be Edo's fourth with the team and we hope that his experience in the series combined with Norman's ability and determination will make for a formidable pairing. Season 7 marks Formula E's first campaign as a World Championship and we're very much looking forward to hitting the track in Santiago next year.

De Where, Weere of Weer is het restant van een rivier, tegenwoordig een kanaal, in Noord-Holland en ligt in Purmerend, dat hieraan is ontstaan.

Oorspronkelijk was het een brede rivier die stroomde tussen het Beemstermeer en Purmermeer en met beide meren, feitelijk binnenzeeën, via de Purmer Ee in open verbinding stond met de Zuiderzee. De rivier werd gebruikt voor de visserij maar speelde ook een belangrijke rol voor de handel in Purmerend waar de rivier langs stroomde.

Na de inpoldering in de 17e eeuw van de Beemster en Purmer met de aanleg van bijbehorende Beemster- en Purmerringvaart, maar ook na de aanleg in de 19e eeuw van het Noordhollandsch Kanaal, bleef er van de rivier, door de gewijzigde waterstromen, alleen het middelste gedeelte in Purmerend over.

Door de demping van de Singelgracht in 1926 kreeg de Where steeds meer met ondiepte en verzanding te maken en liepen de schepen vast. De kosten die de gemeente moest maken voor het uitbaggeren van de rivier waren hoog.

In 1956 kwam er een voorstel tot demping van de Where in het centrum van Purmerend als oplossing om het toenemende autoverkeer meer ruimte maar vooral meer parkeerplaatsen te bieden maar ook de hoge kosten voor het onderhoud aan de bruggen speelde een rol. Er was veel tegenstand en als alternatief werd de demping van de Plantsoengracht voorgesteld, maar dat voorstel haalde geen meerderheid. Op 7 juli 1961 stemde de gemeenteraad met 11 voor en 2 stemmen tegen voor de demping. Ook het Rijk ging akkoord.

De Where werd met zand gedempt en kreeg de naam "Gedempte Where", de kade behield echter de naam Weerwal, en bood na voltooiing veel ruimte voor het verkeer. De woonboten moesten worden verplaatst en de scheepvaart werd omgelegd via de Noordelijke Stadsgracht ten noorden van de te dempen Where die hiervoor werd aangepast. De oude bruggen werden afgebroken en er kwam een nieuwe Beemsterbrug. Ook werd er eenrichtingsverkeer in de binnenstad ingevoerd maar desondanks bleven de verkeersproblemen, vooral op de dinsdagse marktdag, groot. Maar ook tegenwoordig staat het verkeer hier nog regelmatig vast.

Het stuk tussen de Gedempte Where en de Purmerringvaart bleef gehandhaafd en bestaat nog steeds, maar wordt nu gezien als een kanaal. Ondanks dat de rivier vrijwel is verdwenen, leeft de naam Where in Purmerend volop voort. Zo bestaan nog de Weerwal, Wheredijk, Wherekant, Whereplantsoen, Overweersepolderdijk, net als de wijk Overwhere vernoemd naar de ligging aan de overzijde van de toenmalige Where. Ook de Wheermolen is naar de rivier vernoemd en een kleine nieuwbouwwijk nabij het centrum aan de Purmerringvaart krijgt de naam "Klein Where".

Features a panelled storage cabinet with hinged lid with a drawer below, standing on four square and octagonally carved legs with a well defined mouse carved prominently to the front leg. This earlier made piece features a number of differences to the currently made piece, most noticeably it is adzed to the entire framework and panelling including the rear. The side panels are also of longer length than on 60s onwards pieces. This panelling extends to the rear, on more modern pieces the rear has been simplified with a single plain board. This piece is also lockable, with 2 keys and a working lock.


Is President Obama a bank-bashing populist or a capitalist sympathetic to CEO bonuses? It's a question, explored here, too abstract to be answered definitively. But that hasn't stopped people from rigorously arguing it since Obama first stepped into office. With the Obama administration still hoping to implement financial reform--or not--it's a question with real policy implications.
Liberal blogger Digby is pretty sure where she stands--he "doesn't understand the very real angst out in the country," she writes--but she looks much deeper to ask why pundits are so confused about where Obama's sympathy lies. It seems the president has been giving mixed signals in interviews and in pursuit of policy.
Obama's "one from column A and one from column B" approach has always frustrated me, but I think it's really starting to take its toll. At this point, he just seems bipolar not bipartisan, ranting about wall street one day and saying that Lloyd Blankfein and Jamie Dimon are jolly good fellows who deserve their obscene bonuses the next. Do they think that nobody notices --- or just feel in their bones -- that he's trying to be all things to all people? I don't think it inspires confidence.

So the little prince wore his fancy garment during the sole reign of Smenkhkare"
Joe:
A drawing of the cartouches on the sequins (labelled 46gg) can be seen here

Marianne"
I showed this drawing and briefly discussed this in my paper "Bringing Smenkhkare Into Focus".
https://www.academia.edu/37004840/Bringing_Smenkhkare_Into_Focus
"I again refer back to those long since 2000 Amarna list posts by Marc Gabolde. Gabolde observed that the arrangement of the signs within the two cartouches is not that found for the praenomen of a king and the name of his queen. He noted that when their occurs two cartouches, side by side, with the first containing the praenomen of a king and the second containing the name of his queen, the the orientation of the signs within the cartouches face each other. (Of course he notes the only doubtful case is with Tuthmose 4 since his praenomen, Mn-ḫpr.w-Rꜥ, is symmetrical). However on these sequins the cartouches are facing the same direction and so should be read as a single ruler with the praenomen followed by the nomen. So we have (Ꜥnḫ-ḫpr.w-Rꜥ)| (Mr-ỉtn, female determinative)| – that is King (/queen) Ankhkheperure Mer[it]aten . The lack of the feminine "t" in the praenomen is not unusual for the female Ankhkheperure Neferneferure (which latter nomen was adopted by Meritaten in honour of her deceased mother). Nor is it unusual for a lack of the feminine "t" in her birth name, Meri(t)aten, for it was not pronounced, as is also evident from Mayati, the Akkadian spelling of her name."
Well, it is only some sequins and Meritaten's name is also spelled without a /t/ as copied in the scene within the tomb of Meryre II. As far as I can tell, the determinative below the name on the sequins is a seated woman, which would not be appropriate for the nomen of a female king. The Newberry Ring has the same arrangement--prenomen of King Ay coupled with name of Ankhesenamun
"Dodson was sticking to the theory that Smenkhkare had become a coregent with Akhenaten around the latter's Year 12--a scenario I never much liked. Dodson bases this on the way things look to him in the tomb of Meryre II, where Smenkhkare was supposed to be depicted but nothing was completed except the outline drawing."
"Here is my last comment on the Smenkhkare and "dubar" scenes in the tomb of Meryre II (Amarna tomb 2), back on 14 September 2016.
I too think the close proximity of these two scenes in the tomb of Meryre means they were executed about the same time - but after the death of Akhenaten, Nefertiti and Mekitaten. The "dubar" scene is a anachronistic rendition while the Smenkhkare/Meritaten scene is a contemporary scene with both scenes intended to depict important moments in Meryre's career. They are thus from the one year period following the death of Akhenaten while his queen/daughter Meritaten was waiting for the arrival of Smenkhkare - that is the name that the Egyptian had provided for the Hittite prince Zannanza (which itself is a Hittite rendition of Egyptian zȝ-n-nzw, "son of the king"). Yes I am not one who dogmatically holds to the notion that an Egyptian princess/queen could not marry a foreigner because the whole Taḫamunzu (the Hittite rendition of Egyptian tȝ-ḥmt-nzwt, "the king's wife") incident proves that such a notion is wrong."
Joe, either you never did read my paper about Smenkhkare [linked above] or it had no impact on you. The important thing about it is my claim that I have found a head of this king as a child. I have been looking at those heads for years, all touted to be those of Amarna princesses, and some did not look very feminine to me--ever--whereas some did. I compared one head to that of what appears to be a trial piece depicting Akhenaten with a co-regent. Voila--Smenkhkare. We have been over the written name of the pharaoh who died after which his widow asked for a Hittite prince more than--and that pharaoh can only have been Tutankhamun, as I have demonstrated sufficiently.
"The "dubar" scene in Meryre's tomb is dated to year 12, but it has several anachronistic features
The six daughters are all shown as the same sized adults, whereas the same scene in the tomb of Huya (also dated to year 12) shows only Meritaten and Mekitaten with Mekitaten being about 25% smaller."
The later form of the Aten name is used but this came into use later than year 12."
Eh? Who says so? As far as I know, the later form of the Aten name came about after Year 8 when Akhenaten and Nefertiti no longer wished [or needed] to be viewed as the living manifestations of Shu and Tefnut. As you will notice, Ra-Harakhti was removed from one of the cartouches and the name of Shu from the other.
"Actually it was this scene with the later form of the Aten name which used to be taken as the earliest dated reference to the new form. However since this scene is an anachronistic the earliest dated reference to the new name is the recently discovered year 16 document (see next point)."
I somehow doubt this can be true, but I'll do some checking on items using the versions of the names.
"In Huya's tomb Nefertiti is only ever given the title "King's Chief Wife" (ḥmt nzwt wr). However in the dubar scene in Meryre's tomb she is given the title "King's Great Wife" (ḥmt nzwt ʿȝt) but this was only a posthumous title as the year 16 inscription and her ushabti shows that she died and was buried having only the title "King's Chief Wife" (ḥmt nzwt wr)."
As I recall, the scene in Meryre's tomb is not the only place where Nefertiti is styled "Hmt nswt aAt".
" The other occasion she is given the title "King's Great Wife" is on stele UC 410 but again this stele text is posthumous."
We'll see.

August 5, 2015 at 12:09a.m.
The parking lot of The Royal Oaks bar was a melange of trucks, tents and the trappings of a television film crew Tuesday afternoon.
It was day two of filming at the East Side bar for a future episode of "Bar Rescue," the Spike docu-reality series.
The atmosphere is usually pretty loose and wide open at the bar, but this week it has been anything but.
John and Louie Kennedy, co-owners of the bar, were preparing for the day's shooting but couldn't talk about what was about to transpire due to contractual obligations to stay mum. A member of the production team was even more tight-lipped, although she did say that Youngstown is a wonderful city before turning away and getting back to work.
John Kennedy said he wasn't sure why the show settled on his bar but noted he's glad it did.
The "stress test" portion of the show was to be shot Tuesday night. That's a segment of each episode in which patrons are crowded into the bar to see how the staff reacts under pressure. Jon Taffer, the bar-management expert who is the star of "Bar Rescue," then evaluates the staff and makes improvements.
The parking lot next to the bar was jam-packed with vehicles as people lined up for the chance to appear on the show. Production crew members provided release waivers to those in line and also taped up any brands or symbols on their clothing.
Chris Evans of Niles said he enjoys the atmosphere of the bar.
Grant Hayes said the bar's local area also needs improvement.
"The neighborhood puts it in a different direction," he said.
Steve Johnson of Lisbon said it was cool that "Bar Rescue" came to Youngstown because the city is usually skipped over for the Cleveland or Pittsburgh areas.
"I'm excited to see what it is in three days," he said.
When Taffer came out to welcome people waiting, he received a loud and enthusiastic response from them. He told them to come back later this week when the makeover was complete.
It is not yet known when the Royal Oaks episode will premiere, but it likely will be in at least two months. New episodes air at 9 p.m. Sundays.
Sources have told The Vindicator another Youngstown bar also will be featured on the show.
While shooting at the Oaks, the "Bar Rescue" crew is using the former Immaculate Conception Church, one block east on Oak Street, as a command center.
Fred D'Amico of the Youngstown Film Commission has been assisting the crew with finding what it needs in the community.
D'Amico said the production crew has temporarily hired a handful of students from Youngstown State University and Trumbull Career and Technical Center as production assistants, a ground-level position.
"They are working with the crew and learning about the film industry," said D'Amico.
The film commission has put together a "crew pass" – a list of discounts and other deals from local establishments aimed specifically at production crew members.
The Royal Oaks, 924 Oak St., is one of the city's more-colorful establishments, a dive bar with offbeat decor and a hip and eclectic mix of patrons and regulars.
Its pending makeover by the show has elicited concerns by customers who fear it will lose its charm and character even as it becomes more efficiently run.
Most patrons will have to wait until late this week to get a fresh glimpse of the place. That's when shooting will end and regular bar hours resume.
The following weekend – Aug. 15 – will be another big day at the Oaks. That's when Pabstolutely 8, the annual all-day rock festival at the bar, will take place. Pabstolutely is the biggest day of the year at The Royal Oaks, attracting hundreds, if not thousands, of people over the course of the day.
Lansing Street, which runs alongside the bar, will be closed, and a stage will be set up in the street for the festival.
Pabstolutely has always been in September but switched to August this year.
Stilson has been pressing onward with preparation for the festival, working around the shooting schedule.
Pabstolutely, which has no admission charge, will feature at least 12 bands, including headliners Coinmonster, plus Droids Attack and MUTTS.

ESPN Teams up with Interscope Records For Second Straight Year
"Collider" Serves as ESPN and ABC's 2016 Road to the College Football Playoff Theme Song
Additional Top Artists Include Dierks Bentley, Jamie N Commons, Keith Urban, Little Big Town, OneRepublic, Selena Gomez, The Band Perry and The Struts
ESPN's 2016 college football programming will feature the music of top artists, highlighted by X Ambassadors and Tom Morello's "Collider," as the soundtrack of ESPN's season-long college football marketing campaign. The musical additions to ESPN's college football coverage are made possible through ESPN and Interscope teaming up for the second straight year, utilizing Universal Nashville, Downtown Records and Universal Latin's music in various promotions and in-show usage across all of ESPN's college football platforms.
"This music partnership with Interscope truly benefits both parties," said ESPN music director Kevin Wilson. "It allows college football and the artists to reach each other's fans in a very organic way. It has been said before, and still rings true: music and sports are continuously intertwined."
"We are beyond excited to continue the ESPN/Interscope relationship for a second straight college football season," said Steve Berman, Vice Chairman Interscope Geffen A&M Records. "ESPN has created some incredible moments for our artists' music and it's the perfect place and audience to showcase the diversity of our roster."
After performing together at Lollapalooza in Chicago in July, X Ambassadors and Tom Morello released the "Collider" video ESPN will utilize throughout the season, which fans can see here.
"Each team's road to the College Football Playoff begins on opening weekend and throughout the season those individual paths will intersect — or collide — with one another," said senior director of marketing Emeka Ofodile. "That is why "Collider" is the perfect soundtrack for our regular season campaign as its title and lyrics foreshadow the pinnacle moments of the season-long journey which will end at the College Football Playoff."
In addition to X Ambassadors and Tom Morello, college football fans will hear music from top artists including Aloe Blacc, Band of Horses, Dierks Bentley, DJ Snake, Fergie, J Balvin, Jamie N Commons, Keith Urban, Little Big Town, OneRepublic, SchoolboyQ, Selena Gomez, Mike Snow, The Band Perry, The Struts, Zedd and many more throughout the season. Additional ESPN 2016 college football music highlights include:
New Music Fridays: ESPN will work with Interscope to debut singles from big-name artists on select ESPN Friday night college football telecasts throughout the season.
The Struts: A custom cover of "We Will Rock You" along with new song "Put Your Hands Up" will be featured heavily throughout the year.
Jamie N Commons: "Glory" debuted in an SEC Network commercial in July and the network plans to use the song throughout the 2016 college football season to promote the biggest game of the week.
The Band Perry: Music from the band will be used throughout the season, including a special debut presentation of their new single "Comeback Kid" on Saturday, Sept. 10 during ABC's Saturday Night Football: Pilot Flying J Battle at Bristol.
DJ Snake: Custom remix of his new song "The Half" will be used in Friday night college football telecasts
Live Performances: Artists will perform live at ESPN college football games throughout the season including around the College Football Playoff National Championship
ESPN/ABC Set for Best College Football Opening Weekend Schedule Ever
ESPN will begin the 2016 college football season with Field & Stream Kickoff Week, a marquee week 1 slate featuring top teams, ranked squads going head-to-head and games from historic locations. The must-see schedule will feature the defending College Football Playoff National Champion and No. 1 team in ESPN.com's "way too early top 25" Alabama, in addition to No. 2 Clemson, No. 3 Michigan, No. 4 Florida State, No. 5 Oklahoma and No. 6 LSU. Overall, the announced schedule to date features at least 12 teams in the top 20, including four games with matchups of ranked teams. The location of games adds to the interest, as Lambeau Field hosts its first college game in more than 30 years and 2016's first college football Saturday begins in Dublin, Ireland.

I just came acroos a B&L Wilde, Salome with a nice DJ for about 3.00 bucks. It has a 1/4 hole just between, and to the right of the # and colophon. There is chipping and a few tears around the edges of the DJ, and a light water stain at the bottom, but other than that it's in pretty good shape. The leather cover has a few very small, light spots (probably from mold) but all the gold is still there and very bright.
I started to sell it, but counld not bring myself to push the button. I have not run across many of these with the DJ in this good a shape. I'll probably keep it for a while, until my book buying habit has me overstretched, and I need to get the monkey off my back.
However, I am having trouble with the dating. The colophon is a running tourch bearer, and sits above the #83 on the DJ. It is on the front cover of the leather, but not on the spine.There are two lines at the top of the spine, and one at the bottom, under "Modern Library." There is no mention of the publisher, though, anywhere in the book. Just that Wolf was the binder. The bottom of the title page states: "PUBLISHERS   : :   ::  NEW YORK."
Any help would be of great value, and well appreciated.


Jennifer Lewis is a 2013 Western Massage Therapy graduate currently working at Massage Envy. Jennifer is one of the main therapists at Massage Envy Worthington and was one of 3 to open the location. She took and passed the MBLEX exam to become certified in January, 2014.
She loves working with Massage Envy, it's a perfect way for Jennifer to continue expanding her skill-set and gain certifications in the vast field of Massage Therapy! Jennifer has received her certification in hot stone therapy, prenatal therapy, and plans to return to AIAM for her certification in Neuromusuclar therapy.
Jennifer began her education journey at Columbus State where she received a certificate in photography, but didn't feel like she was getting the education she wanted. She felt as though she was taking classes she didn't really need, or that didn't really interest her. She began considering other options and spoke with her friend, Autumn, who had attended AIAM.
Jennifer, with little knowledge of massage therapy, decided to take a risk and dive in. She enrolled at AIAM and soon found she had made the right choice.
During her interview on campus Jennifer was spotted by Susan Kaculis, a Massage Therapy clinical instructor, and was greeted with a big hug and kind words.
During her time at AIAM Jennifer became very interested in anatomy, and found herself excelling in her anatomy coursework.
Jennifer advises anyone interested in massage to book a professional massage to see the environment, and meet a therapist. This way, you can see the work environment and decide if it is a good fit for your personality.
When asked if she has had any "regulars," or clients who request her services specifically, Jennifer lights up.
Jennifer enjoys working for a larger massage therapy business, but one day sees herself renting a room to expand and practice other skills- like energy and oncology work.

Recapping Reunion 2019
Kellogg Alumni Council and Club Leader Summit | May 2019
Announcing New KAC Leadership Transition
The Kellogg Alumni Council (KAC) Spring Meeting on May 2 ushered in new leadership as KAC Chair Cesar Estrada '99 wrapped up his final term. Estrada strengthened and expanded the KAC during his tenure, increasing its reach and impact in the alumni community. He leaves a proven track record leading and inspiring the alumni community, and an unwavering passion for Kellogg's mission.
Catherine Briggs '94, recipient of the 2019 Wade Fetzer Award, assumes the role of KAC chair, working closely with Vice Chair Chip Bailey '87 to build on KAC achievements and continue shaping its mission for greater impact.
Welcome New KAC Members
The KAC added six new members at its May meeting: Carolyn Amato '06, Andrea Gouw '07, Sarah Jaffe '93, Matt James '08, Vic O'Brien '87 and Susan Silver '94.
KAC members share their talent, energy and collaborative spirit to help advance its mission and catalyze our global alumni community. Members serve as strategic partners for the school and participate in a working group initiative, attend monthly conference calls and travel to Evanston twice a year as part of their membership.
New Members Introduced to Pete Henderson Society
The Pete Henderson Society (PHS) shares a tight bond with the KAC. After members complete their three-year term in the KAC, they transition to the Pete Henderson Society to continue serving the Kellogg alumni community in ways that best fit their interests. The PHS proudly welcomes outgoing KAC Chair Cesar Estrada '99, Suresh Krishna '99, Dolores Kunda '84 and Phillip Lageschulte '05.
Alumni Club Leader Summit
More than 45 Kellogg alumni club and affinity network officers from around the world convened in Evanston for the annual Alumni Leader Summit on May 2. Twenty-three clubs and affinity networks were represented, including 14 domestic clubs, seven international clubs and two affinity networks. The Summit provided an opportunity for alumni leaders to build connections, share best practices and hear from Kellogg senior leadership, including Interim Dean Kathleen Hagerty.
Participants spent the day gaining ideas and insights on strategic planning, creating alumni events and learning about new resources and tools provided by Kellogg. Alumni leaders left with the information and connections needed to successfully lead and engage the Kellogg network. Kellogg alumni clubs and networks serve as a valuable connection point for alumni, accounting for 30% of alumni engagement during the last fiscal year.
The Kellogg Alumni Club of Boston continues to engage its community in 2019. The club completed its third event in a three-part series of women-focused events with a joint NU/Kellogg brunch held at three different locations. Fueled by thought-provoking articles sent beforehand, great food at fun Boston-area restaurants and a diverse group of alumnae, the brunches were filled with lively discussions. The club will continue with more women-focused events throughout the year.
In May, the club kicked off a new healthcare initiative in collaboration with Kellogg Professor Craig Garthwaite. Their first event will take place in the fall. In June, the club hosted a community event at Cradles to Crayons where alumni processed and packaged donations of clothing and supplies that will be distributed to local children in need. Also in June, a dozen committed alumni concluded volunteer consulting engagements for Boston-area nonprofits through Community Consulting Teams of Boston.
The club also elected their new board for the next fiscal year starting June 1. A special thank you to the outgoing co-presidents, Valerie Godhwani '99 and Jessica Morris '11 and programming chair, Kevin Callahan '87.
The new slate is as follows: President: Rob DeMento '09, Vice President: Desmond Pope '11, Vice President: Bilal Hussain '15, Treasurer: Amy Goldberg '01, Communications: Aimee Murray '12, Secretary: Jessica Morris '11, At-Large Directors: Valerie Godhwani '99, Lisa Fanjoy '09, Elizabeth Bernardi '14, Bijay Kumar '11, Dave DuBois '17, Aakash Desai '14, Colin Blaney '10, Christopher Sherrill '08 and Dustin Clinard '05.

Toward the end of 2018, Marisa Bryce '98 became president of the club in the hopes of being able to create a robust, active and enthusiastic membership. With the help of her newly appointed executive team and the generous assistance of several Denver alumni community members and the Kellogg Alumni office, the club is making terrific headway towards that goal!
Thanks to David Coors '10 and Jeff Ahbe '93 for hosting a spectacular brewery tour and tasting at Blue Moon Brewery (owned by Molson Coors) last fall. An additional thank you to alumnus Tim Shannon '15 and his lovely wife for hosting a private cocktail party in May at their home in Denver featuring Professor Nicholas Pearce as an honored guest who discussed the principles behind balancing work, life, goals and fulfillment. We look forward to many more events in Colorado and facilitating an exceptional alumni community.

In the past few months, The Kellogg DFW Club wrapped up one of its two biggest events of the year and is in heavy planning mode for the second one. In February, the club hosted its 13th Annual Leadership Symposium at the University of Texas in Dallas. Almost 250 alumni and business leaders from across the Dallas-Fort Worth area came to hear three keynote speakers, among them Kellogg Professor Nicholas Pearce, who spoke about purpose driven leadership, and Kellogg alumnae Maria Thomas '92, who shared what she learned from her leadership experiences at Amazon, NPR and Etsy about leading digital transformation. In addition, Purple Arch Ventures led a heavily attended lunch session on Venture Capital.
The symposium was truly an example of the Kellogg network at work as much of its content was driven by Kellogg faculty and graduates and it was attended not only by local alumni but also by alumni from other cities, plus current students and even some prospective students.
On August 24, the Kellogg and Northwestern Clubs of DFW hosted the 14th Annual Summer Soiree supporting Big Brothers Big Sisters Lonestar. This year's theme was "Light the Night and Wear Your Best Whites." Since its inception, the soiree has been a wonderful opportunity to have fun while supporting a great cause. Last year, almost 250 people attended the event.
Last but not least, this was the second year of the DFW Excellence Grant Challenge that targets a $100,000 Excellence Grant for a newly admitted Kellogg student from North Texas. This grant is made possible by a generous local alumnus who has offered to match up to $50,000 of donations from local DFW alumni. This year, it looks like the goal is close to being achieved again due to the generosity of that alumnus as well as many other local alumni, and a contribution from the DFW Club. A great opportunity to make a difference for a future Kellogg student.

The Kellogg Alumni Club of Italy had the honor of hosting Dean Francesca Cornelli during her travels to Italy last spring on April 3. The event took place in one of Milan's most historical restaurants with more than 20 Italian alumni joining, enthusiastic to appreciate Francesca's humbleness, new energy and inspiring leadership.
The Kellogg Alumni Club of Italy also welcomed Professor Mohanbir Sawhney on June 13 in Milan as he shared his view on innovation and AI across industries.

The Kellogg Alumni Club of Los Angeles (KACLA) welcomed two new members to its board of directors: Samuel Saeyoon Chung '16 and Satish Varma '10 to help with event programming and alumni engagement. They are serving alongside continuing board members Carol Henry '00, Rolando Manzo '16, Denise Ellison '17, Erika Haendel Weiss '02 and Pamela Ng '00.
The club hosted a wide range of events, from personal development workshops such as Designing Your Life led by Matthew Temple '93 to touring faculty members promoting their new books (Professor Tim Calkins, Professor Nicholas Pearce with Chip Bailey '87, and Professor Adam Waytz) to panel events featuring alumni who shared their startup journeys (Sid Shah '09 and Jen Beall Saxton '10, moderated by Sam Lee '09) to social activities such as a joint happy hour with the Law alumni club and the second annual Women's Brunch co-hosted alongside HBS Association of Southern California.
The board is excited to work with the KACLA community to bring you insightful and valuable events! Anyone interested in getting more involved or who has suggestions for future events should contact the club's president, Pamela Ng '00 or other board members.

The Kellogg Alumni Club of New York held its Spring Women's Network event, "Lessons Learned from Kellogg Women: A Panel Discussion about Seeking Balance, Finding Fulfillment, and (Re) Defining Success." An impressive panel of C-level Kellogg women shared how they've navigated their professional and personal lives post-Kellogg. Joud Abdel Majeid '10, managing director and chief operating officer of BlackRock Solutions; Natasha Deckmann '03, chief executive officer of CarePoint Health; Vimla Gupta '97, chief marketing officer of Equinox; and Annetta Hewko '88, principal of Hewko & Associates, comprised the panel, moderated by Beth Smith-Korn '92, principal of Beth Korn Executive Coaching and a Kellogg Alumni Career & Professional Development coach. Over 60 women attended the event held at the Girl Scouts Headquarters, where Angela Olden '88 serves as its chief financial officer. The club continues to build out programming for Kellogg women in the New York area, headed up by the Women's Network co-chairs Humaira Arifin '13, Tiffany Chen '17 and Barbara Golub '87.
A highly successful panel event covering important issues in cybersecurity was co-hosted by Kellogg Alumni Club of NY and Northwestern Law Alumni Club of NYC. It marked the first collaboration between the two alumni organizations. With over 60 attendees, the evening was engaging, informative and highly relevant! The panel included market experts and entrepreneurs who provided their insights on a topic that is becoming more and more critical to so many of today's businesses. The panel was moderated by David Kimmel '90 and distinguished speakers included Sherrese Smith JD '96, Tsafrir Oranski '03 and Scott M. Kannry, JD/MBA '11. The event was led by Ally Golan '09, VP of entrepreneurship for the Kellogg Alumni Club of NY, and Erin Millender JD '05, co-chair of the Northwestern Law Alumni Club of NYC.
The Kellogg Alumni Club of New York also held its first social impact event in June with more than 30 alumni attending to learn about mobilizing capital to address critical social and environmental challenges while generating financial returns. Organized by Ethan Stambler '01, the evening included a robust panel discussion with Kellogg alumni active in various aspects of the impact sector, including Jane Bieneman '95, Christine Elbert '94 and Scott Lechky '09. Megan Kashner '03, clinical assistant professor in Kellogg's Public-Private Interface and director of Social Impact, provided an update on social impact activity at Kellogg, and Sam Schiller '19 presented his team's carbon yield pitch, which won this year's Kellogg Morgan Stanley Sustainable Investment Challenge. The club looks forward to building on this event with additional social impact programming. To reach Megan Kashner's social impact team, email socialimpact@kellogg.northwestern.edu.

The big news in San Diego (KACSD): mirroring the Padres front office, the Kellogg Alumni Club of San Diego traded its founder and co-president, Karlo Teran '09 to the Kellogg Alumni Club of Mexico City for a social chair and a minor league co-president. The arrangement is soccer-like in that Karlo will return to KACSD after his "friendly" schedule concludes some time past his prime. KACSD is a member of MBAsd, an association of alumni groups representing a dozen peer business schools. MBAsd hosts a monthly happy hour on the third Thursday. The club often benefits from being included in other events organized by those clubs for their members, and routinely coordinates with the NU Club for events such as plays and the recent appearance of the Wildcats at the Holiday Bowl.
Each year, KACSD plans at least one special event. Last year, the event was a pre-game chat probing the business of minor league sports with the president and marketing lead of the San Diego Gulls, the farm team of NHL's Anaheim Ducks. This year, the club hosted a dynamic speaker panel at the brand new $80 million Prebys Performing Arts Center in La Jolla. The event sponsor, The Lancer Group (a specialized PE executive search firm), went over the top in arranging speakers, securing the venue, provisioning Snake Oil's craft cocktails and even orchestrating the live-streaming of the event! The four panelists, who addressed the topic of "Leadership & Value Creation," currently work in private equity as investors, operators and buy-side advisors and have prior experience as consultants, investment bankers and board members in high-growth and mature industries.
KACSD welcomes any alumni visiting or residing in this giant cul-de-sac known as San Diego County to subscribe to its email list (via your Kellogg alumni profile on Our Northwestern), to join its LinkedIn or Facebook groups, to reach out, and to attend an upcoming event (there's always a happy hour next month!).

The Kellogg Alumni Club of SF Bay Area has had a great year hosting several successful events, launching new programs and welcoming three recent graduates to the board. The club also benefited from having several Kellogg professors visit, providing insight into their work and sharing their passion.
A few notes on some of the events: Matthew Temple, Kellogg's director of Alumni Career & Professional Development, hosted a workshop on Designing Your Life and provided alumni with the tools to shake things up and make their career and life fit better together. Ninety-one alumni attended this high-energy, interactive workshop where people shared their stories, identified their passions and helped focus on activities that energize rather than drain them. The event received great feedback from recent graduates to senior managers.
Professor Nicholas Pearce and Lara Balazs, chief marketing officer at Intuit, had a highly entertaining and thought-provoking fireside chat on Prof. Pearce's book, The Purpose Path. The discussion centered on how individuals can build a meaningful career with a moral center and a purpose in the world. The talk highlighted how each person can identify the purpose behind why we do what we do, help people connect their soul with their role by asking five key questions to define success, and evaluate personal progress. The event was attended by over 80 alumni and received great feedback on the lively discussion.
Mark Andersen '92, who is part of the BATS improv community, hosted a seminar on the basics of improv and how the principles can be applied to a professional and social context. Through a variety of games and improv concepts, attendees learned how to think on their feet, reduce fear of failure and have a bit of fun in the process. Due to overwhelming demand, the club will be looking to plan additional improv events in the future.
In addition to larger events, such as the JMP healthcare event with Professor Craig Garthwaite, the club has rolled out a new small group dinner series to bring alumni together around common topics and interests. The first event sold out promptly, the conversation was sizzling like the fajitas and guests left energized to host their own small-group dinners in the future. Alumni in the Bay Area interested in hosting a small-group event should contact the club for planning details.

The Kellogg Alumni Club of South Florida welcomed three new board members this year: Vice President Veronica Smith '11, Treasurer Prithi Ramakrishnan '14 and Vice President of Events Benito Besada '18. The club's new president is Felipe Conill '16.
The club's goals for this year are to formalize board positions, develop a signature event and increase engagement within the local alumni populations. The club started the year with an event to promote alumni career development, formalizing board roles, member responsibilities and establishing event runbooks. Smith's message: "I joined the club seven years after graduation. To be honest, I didn't know what to expect, I attended a board call and I started having a familiar feeling, and I thought, 'This feels right.' After joining the board, I was then assigned the vice president role. A couple of months later, I attended the Leadership Summit and the 2019 Kellogg Reunion in Chicago, which was great, and as I was looking down at the sea of purple I thought, "For certain many things in our careers will change, but Kellogg is forever … welcome back home.' I hope my story inspires you to support your local chapter."

The Kellogg Alumni Club of Wisconsin finished its 2018-2019 event year with an outstanding June presentation by Kent Grayson, associate professor of marketing, at Northwestern Mutual titled, "Trust in Your Organization and in the Marketplace." The discussion built on Dr. Grayson's leadership of Northwestern's Trust Project.
In March, as part of an onsite tour and dinner at Strattec Security Corporation, Frank Krejci, president, and Adam Gerstmeier '18 offered insights about the global market growth for locks, key and access control products in the automotive industry.
At April's CEO breakfast, Stephanie Pugliese, president of Duluth Trading Company, described the history and expansion plans of this casual, lifestyle brand of outdoor and workwear. Of note, Stephen Schlecht '70 is executive chairman of this exciting niche retail business. Planning has begun for fall programming with exploration of events focused on women in the CEO suite.

The Kellogg Alumni Club for the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) is based in Dubai and has been re-invigorated with a plethora of new events and opportunities to connect with new and old friends alike.
The year started off in January with the Northwestern Connect get-together at the Café Belge at the Ritz Carlton DIFC. Kellogg alumni were joined by Northwestern alumni to celebrate the occasion. In February, the club participated in an event with the Chicago Booth Alumni Club in which a professor gave a master class on the lessons learned 10 years after the financial crisis. To further consolidate the relationship with Chicago Booth, GCC co-organized the first outdoor joint alumni event: a "Polo brunch" at the terrace of the Desert Palm hotel, which was very well attended and included plenty of families.
In March, club member Lucy Chow '00 was a speaker at the Catalyzers VC event that was organized by the London Business School, and which had some Kellogg alumni in attendance as well. Another great event took place in April, where Kellogg joined forces with Wharton and INSEAD to rent out a large yacht and cruise through the beautiful sunset to enjoy views of the Dubai skyline while having a good time. Finally, additional get-together opportunities occurred in May, where Kellogg was invited by alumni organizations from other leading business schools to share in four separate joint Ramadan iftar and suhoor events. Formal events are mixed with spontaneous get-togethers. For example, Kellogg alumni on business travel met for dinner in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Kellogg alumni also participated in the Ras al Khaimah Half Marathon.

Kellogg Executive Women's Network
In early 2019, The Kellogg Executive Women's Network (KEWN), in conjunction with Alumni Relations, made a concerted effort to ensure all alumnae for whom a valid email address was on record in the greater Chicago area were included in the KEWN email database. KEWN is excited to welcome these additional alumnae to its network, one of the largest among all Kellogg clubs.
In February, Matthew Temple, Kellogg's director of Alumni Career & Professional Development, led a "Designing Your Life Workshop" for KEWN alumnae. This interactive workshop encouraged participants to take a design thinking approach to careers and life. Design thinking is a mindset that includes radical collaboration, reframing, curiosity, mindfulness of process and a bias toward action. Designers build their way forward; they don't wait for epiphanies on mountain tops.
In the ensuing weeks, follow-ups to this program were conducted to reinforce the concepts. In March, Gwen Cohen '82, wealth advisor at Morgan Stanley, led an informative and interactive program, "Women and Wealth - How to Preserve What You Treasure." This was the second in a series of programs addressing the importance for women to identify and prioritize their financial goals at every life stage and then build a personalized plan that maximizes the probability of achieving those goals for themselves and those they treasure, however life unfolds.
In May, KEWN held one of its most popular signature events, wine tasting. This was the 11th year for this event and a record number of guests were in attendance. The tasting was held in the Moen Showroom at the Merchandise Mart, with The Artisan Cellar providing food and wine, and a sommelier from Alinea discussing the wines offered. Given the amount of wine consumed and the energy in the room, it's safe to say the experience was enjoyed by all!
KEWN continued its partnership with the Union League Club's author's program. The highlight of the program was meeting Valerie Jarrett, the longest-serving senior advisor in the Obama White House. Ms. Jarrett discussed her book, Finding My Voice.
