Geraldine McCaughrean, Where the World Ends
I wonder if there's something to be said about the fact that "based on a true story" is so big a part of this year's Carnegie shortlist? Where the World Ends dramatises events of 1727 -28, when a group of boys and men from St. Kilda left the island of Hirta to harvest birds for food on nearby Stac an Armin, and were stranded there for several months as, due to an outbreak of smallpox on Hirta, no one was able to sail out and collect them. When they returned, their community had been almost entirely wiped out by the disease. In her afterword to the book, McCaughrean claims to have altered some of the details–she adds another child to the group of 8 recorded in the historical account, and softens the blow of their return slightly by leaving a few more survivors in the village.
McCaughrean's version of events is told through the eyes of Quill (or Quilliam), a boy probably in his teens who has been on the journey to the stac before. His reluctance to leave Hirta at the beginning of the book is entirely due to the presence of Murdina, a visitor to the island who tells stories he doesn't know, and who speaks to him of trees. As the group on the stac first realise that no one is coming for them and then begin to buckle under the strain of the circumstances, Quill takes partial refuge in imagining Murdina on the stac with them, and himself becomes a storyteller, attempting to give shape and meaning to the lives of his struggling companions. Quite a few of the reviews, and even the blurbs, for this book refer to Lord of the Flies, and it's a rather obvious comparison to make. I think that there's a difference, though. Readings of Lord of the Flies as being About The Inherent Savagery of Humans are a bit glib and annoying (among other things, to insist on reading general "human nature" from a bunch of posh British schoolboys feels limited to say the least), but the book is fundamentally allegorical. Where the World Ends is not. Though the characters occasionally tip over into moments of irrational rage or cruelty, they usually do so in ways that are consistent with their individual selves. There are two moments when they seem to lose all sense of self, but as horrific as they are they're also temporary. Having said which, if you've read Lord of the Flies (or anything in the larger horror category in which humans succumb to sudden bloodlust) it's probably hard not to have that narrative hanging over your head and making you wary. Particularly when I discovered that one character was a girl in disguise I was bracing myself for some horrific act of sexual violence. (Her transition within the book from having lived as a boy all her life to a relatively unproblematic girlhood was a bit hard to believe; I had to tell myself that Quill probably wouldn't have seen the complications that might arise so their omission from the narrative was justified.)
This sense of the characters as individual people is important because one of the things that McCaughrean does very well here is to plausibly and complexly render a set of perspectives that are really far removed from those of her presumed readers. Finding themselves abandoned with seemingly no attempt at rescue, the only explanation that the companions are able to imagine is that the world has ended, their families ascended to heaven, and they, hidden on this small rock in the sea, have been overlooked. This sincere religious belief is twinned with a strong sense of the myths and superstitions of St. Kilda in general and Hirta in particular, and there's a really strong sense of the interplay between these sets of beliefs and how they exist for each individual person. Quill's perspective is, unsurprisingly, the closest to what most readers might feel–whether or not he believes that the world has ended, he's willing to make up stories about it to make the others feel better (which suggests that for him finding a narrative that enables them to survive is more important than the truth of the matter). I was prepared to roll my eyes a bit at Col Cane, one of the monstrous characters one often finds in children's fiction, who weaponises religion in order to commit acts of shrill cruelty*, but there's enough variation in the beliefs on display here to make his form of faith only one of many. The other characters include a saintly young boy whose faith is so strong that he sees visions and feels guilt at not being able to walk on water, another small child who believes his mother to be in heaven yet is worried that his absence will mean she'll lack enough peat to burn through the winter, and Quill's friend Murdo, whose main regret at the end of the world is that he never got to sleep with a woman–"Ye canna do that while you're standing about in Heaven singing hymns, and with all sorts looking on … And I d'na think we get to keep our bodies there, either. We are just wee spirity things, a-floatin'" (I don't feel able to discuss McCaughrean's rendition of the characters' accents.)
The book dramatises one important moment in these islands' history–it makes reference to another as well, though McCaughrean makes no explicit mention of this in her quite detailed Afterword. In 1840 the last Great auk in Britain would be captured on Stac an Armin–its captors beat it to death some days later, believing it to be a witch that was causing a storm. Four years later, the bird was extinct worldwide. A Great auk, or garefowl, plays a major role in this story. Quill is surprised to find it living alone on the island, as he knows that birds of this species generally live in large flocks. As the months go by, Quill feels a growing bond with the bird, which is tangled up in his feelings for Murdina. The others, however, find the garefowl uncanny and a little too human–particularly after it seems to attempt to feed a trapped boy. In a genuinely shocking scene (the book's Lord of the Flies moment, if it has one) towards the end of the book, Quill's companions turn on the bird and reenact (pre-enact?) the scene that will take place a little over a century after these events–they believe it to be a "witch" and "storm-bringer," and they put a sack over it and beat it to death with a rock.
Reviewing another book on this Carnegie shortlist, I don't think I said that it had disappointed me by being set on a small island and not giving me enough seabirds and saltwater and wind. Where the World Ends made up for this by being tremendously evocative of all of those things (and rock, and horrible rotting-things smells). Best of all, the book ends with a glossary (with illustrations!) of sea birds native to St. Kilda. That alone would have won me over.
***********************************************************
The Carnegie announcement is a few hours away, so this is a good time for predictions. I haven't had time to write about the last book on the list, Will Hill's After the Fire–that post is forthcoming, but I'd be surprised if the book were to win the medal (it did win the YA book prize a couple of weeks ago, though). On the whole, this has been a relatively good year for the award, or at least for my reading of it; in previous years I've disliked the majority of the list and been actively angered by (on average) about a quarter of it. This year, I genuinely liked at least three books on the list (The Hate U Give, Where the World Ends, and Rook); felt well disposed towards some others (Wed Wabbit, about 60% of Release), and only actively disliked one (Saint Death). Despite this, before I read Where the World Ends I thought that The Hate U Give was the best book on the list by a huge margin–I still think it's the best book on there, but WtWE is polished enough to feel like a serious competitor.
So a decent year for me; but what does this shortlist say about the Carnegie itself? I was glad to see some actual middle-grade books make the list, given the dominance of YA in recent years, but it's still very unbalanced (and I understand makes organising school shadowing groups quite a complicated procedure). And, given a chance to demonstrate a willingness to engage with criticisms of the award's lack of racial diversity, the fact that the shortlist excludes any UK-based BAME writers feels like a doubling down–as if change can wait until after the Diversity Review. Whichever book wins (I've discussed my ambivalence on this subject), this year's medal will feel a bit overshadowed by that context.
*On this shortlist alone we have versions of the character in this book and After the Fire (Release does not, though the version of Christianity espoused by some of its characters is a deeply unpleasant one); of the books on the longlist The Island at the End of Everything also has one.

The Rev. Ciera Bates-Chamberlain, et al.: Why we faith leaders are committed to anti-violence work and justice
By Ciera Bates-Chamberlain, Seth Limmer, Michael Pfleger and Otis Moss III
Hundreds march through the streets of the Auburn Gresham neighborhood during St. Sabina Catholic Church's Call for Peace Rally and March to kick off the start of summer on June 17, 2022. (E. Jason Wambsgans / Chicago Tribune)
The violence that dominates so much of our lives is a serious problem. The gun violence that threatens us on the streets, in our cars, in restaurants and even in funeral homes, is Chicago's problem. The sickness of gun culture that prevents even reasonable restraints in the gun industry is a national problem.
For us, it is a matter of faith as well.
This summer, we have joined the Tribune's opinion section to share common sense, community-based approaches to counter gun violence. These are not only lessons we have learned working with our communities, but they also are lessons buoyed, encouraged, even commanded by our various traditions. While in recent weeks we have shared strategies related to gun trafficking, witness protection, mental health, violence interruption and more, this week we would like to share with you how our individual traditions — Jewish, Christian and Muslim — move us to work together for justice.
You will hear, in each of our voices, the source of our deep commitments. We are fueled by our family, our ancestors. We are carried along by the voices of prophets and the melodies of song. We sense the great arc of history, a history filled with oppression and liberation. These move us to work, together, for the better world our varied traditions envision.

My inspiration to do this work is fueled by the historical tradition of the Black church commitment to be a voice crying in the wilderness for justice, civil rights, freedom, and equality for the poor and marginalized among us. The ministry of Jesus as magnified in Luke 4:18-19 serves as a foundation to fight harder, stand taller, and link the work of God with the work of the community against blatant and subtle injustices. The Christian faith is rooted in freedom. We've always had freedom songs that refuse to be silenced until the residue of America's original sin and injustice becomes a vanquished reality.
Beth Brown, Lincoln Park Presbyterian Church

As a queer female Christian pastor, I take seriously my commitment to dismantling Christian and white supremacy. What that means for my faith is that I prioritize the teachings that speak to our interconnectedness and our responsibility toward each other and all beings. One of my guiding principles is one that is present in all of the world's major religions and spiritual traditions: Treat others the way you want to be treated or the reverse, which is don't treat others the way you don't want to be treated.
When it comes to gun violence prevention, I want to treat others the way I want to be treated, which means acting as if it is my closest family members who are being killed or wounded. Because of that, I am working hard to see that through the Office of Gun Violence Prevention Ordinance, we secure a permanent office with permanent funding to address all aspects of this issue.

"Oh, freedom, Oh, freedom/ Oh freedom over me./ And before I'd be a slave/ I'd be buried in my grave/ And go home to my Lord and be free."
The song "Oh, Freedom" crafted by enslaved Africans echoes the wisdom of West Africa, the existential condition of Black life in America plus the wondrous power of Black spirituality. Freedom is rooted in the simple fact God loves us, has given self-agency and autonomy to humanity and desires God's creation to thrive, flourish and build a beloved community. This simple narrative is the heart of justice envisioned by people of African descent — that we are called "to set the captives free."

(Armando L. Sanchez / Chicago Tribune)
In Islam, nonviolence and the pursuit of justice are core principles. In the Quran, our sacred text, there is the following revelation regarding pursuing justice: "Stand up firmly for justice, as a witness to God, even as against yourselves or your parents or your kin, and whether it be against rich or poor" (4:135). The importance of nonviolence as a principle in Islam is reflected in the teachings of our Prophet Muhammad, such as when he stated: "Faith is a restraint against all violence, let no Believer commit violence."

"But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth" (Acts 1:8).
The Book of Acts is often quoted in my tradition. We believe that as people of faith, full of God's spirit, we are endowed with the power not only for spiritual matters, but also to have power to transform the quality of life here on earth. As I have dedicated my life in following the lifestyle of Christ, this means that I, too, must stand in solidarity with the most marginalized and oppressed communities and be a witness by speaking correction and justice to unjust political leaders who create and support harmful practices and policies.
Chris Griffin, Soul City Church

My family has had a history of actively participating in civil rights and social justice. My uncle, the Rev. Arthur Griffin, hosted the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. while he was a resident on Chicago's West Side and also worked with the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. My oldest brother played trumpet in the Operation Breadbasket band. My sister worked as a secretary in King's Chicago office and was a babysitter for the Rev. Jesse Jackson's children. My other brother marched during the movement in one of Chicago's most violent civil rights marches through Gage Park on the South Side.
I guess working for justice is in my DNA. I've participated in protests to strike down the "three strikes, you're out" policy at Chicago Public Schools. I participated in protests when the owners of the Chicago Bulls and Blackhawks wanted to relocate West Side residents in order to make room for the United Center. I marched and petitioned Mayor Rahm Emanuel's administration over the cover-up of the murder of Laquan McDonald. I fought for sensible gun safety legislation in Springfield and Chicago. This is my family tradition I live today.
Seth Limmer, Open Judaism
Rabbi Seth Limmer holds a Torah at the Chicago Sinai Congregation in Chicago in 2015. (Antonio Perez / Chicago Tribune)
The thematic frame of the Exodus from Egypt connects memories of the past with future action. It reminds us that the world is constantly in revolution from slavery to freedom, that the human experience ranges from degradation to dignity, and that the course of history has as many moments of liberation as it does recurrences of the rule of evil. The moral of the story, by connecting us with past oppression, is to deepen our commitment to bringing about a future of peace and compassion.
Reform Judaism takes most seriously this charge to bend the arc of history toward justice, peace and liberty. In working to end the oppression and injustices of our age, we live up not only to the ideal of our Exodus, but also to the aspirations of our daily liturgy as well: "l'taken olam b'malchut shaddai," to repair our world and establish God's realm of peace and compassion.

Too often, it seems that social justice has become an appetizer to the mission of the church rather than part of its identity. If we look back at our roots and the Scripture on which we base our faith and the life of Jesus, we realize that justice is the DNA of our faith. Most of Jesus' ministry was outside the walls of the church and challenged the injustice of the government and the hypocrisy of the religious. What makes us disciples of Jesus is not what we do in the church, but what we do when we leave the church to build the kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven.
That is our work, our shared project: to build here on earth, among all the messiness of human living, what we imagine the perfect world of the heavens should resemble.
Chicago faith leaders Rabbi Seth M.

Amazing: The Cobraccino – Garage Dusty Exciting Car Team!
I've been around the import scene for about 8 or so years now, and I can honestly say that this is the coolest car I've ever seen.
What? A run of the mill Cobra replica is the coolest car I've seen? Nah, look closer.
Is there something going on here? Isn't it too small?


Constructed with the same high quality, insulation and security as out other conservatories, P shaped conservatories is a superb living space. Used and enjoyed all year round, this style is ideal if you need a lot of extra space.
This style of conservatory brings together some of the other designs in a combination to create what looks from above like the letter 'P'. A 'P' shaped conservatory generally brings together either a 3 section or 5 section bell Victorian conservatory with either a lean-to or a double hipped Edwardian to form an exciting & good looking building which can enhance & compliment any home, period or new, large or small. For particularly large situations we can create a P with the tail on either side so that the bell section is in the centre. This type of conservatory looks particularly spectacular on older properties but can also look amazing on larger new & modern buildings.
This classic design of conservatory is ideal if you need lots of extra space, whilst at the same time want something away from the norm. Moreover being constructed with the same high quality, high insulation & high-security products as our other conservatories this superb living space can be used & enjoyed all year round.

Home Our people A real hero: the story of a Ukrainian who died saving lives during the September 11 attacks
A real hero: the story of a Ukrainian who died saving lives during the September 11 attacks
11.09.2020, 15: 01 EST Author: Olga Derkach
When a terrorist-driven passenger Boeing rammed the north tower of the World Trade Center in New York on September 11, 2001, Ukrainian-American Irene Lesi was driving her car to work and listening to the news of the terrible events on the radio. She did not yet know that the terrorists would soon send a plane to the second, southern tower. And her brother, the American policeman Ivan (Joni) Scala, her Yashch (family nickname), will help people get out of there. This is stated in the video "Voices of America".
The woman shows pictures of her brother and remembers how cheerful he was.
"It was the happiest day of his life. This is him during his graduation at the Port Authority Police Academy. The whole family came to celebrate his graduation, "says Irene.
For Ivan's elder brother Mike, as well as for the whole family, the news that his younger brother, like himself, would be a policeman, came as a shock.
"Johnny dreamed of becoming a firefighter, a truck driver, an engineer - every time he wanted to be someone else, but becoming a policeman shocked the whole family, even me. After all, Johnny knew that I wanted to become a policeman, although he himself could not become one, but he did, "Mike recalls.
The common profession made the brothers the most loyal friends.
"There was a very strong bond and understanding between us. He was not just my brother, he was my best friend, "says Mike.
On the day the twin towers rammed by planes caught fire and collapsed, taking lives with them, it was Mike who received the call from the police. He was informed that among the first wave of rescuers who went to the Twin Towers was his brother Johnny, whose fate was unknown.
For eight hours, the man did not tell anything to his relatives, he still hoped that his brother managed to get out, but later he had to report.
"I still remember how I came, and my mother was watching TV in the middle of the night and the first thing she said to me was" look what is happening in New York, what a horror ". I answered her: "Mom, Yash is there, Yash is there, they don't know where exactly, but he is there," recalls the older brother of the deceased.
On the subject: Ceremonies to commemorate victims of 11/XNUMX terrorist attacks will be held in the USA: where and how to look
The next few weeks turned into a real torture for Ivan Skala's family. Irene put up notices in New York, hoping that someone would see her brother.
"This is Johnny's cap from the Port Authority," Irene demonstrates.
However, after 40 days, there was no hope.
"Unfortunately, they didn't find him on the Ground Zero, they didn't find anything, not even his gold jewelry or his watch, nothing. But my mother couldn't let it go just like that, so we ordered a memorial service for him, "says Ivan Skala's sister.
Together with his wife, Mike shows the collection that he has been collecting for years in memory of Johnny: here is the Medal of Courage, which he was posthumously awarded by George W. Bush, and flags, and bears from all over the United States, and a metal cross made of steel from the Twin Towers. It is here, in the basement of his house, watching old videos, that Mike remembers his brother, or is simply silent, as he once did at the destroyed twin towers. Towers, which at first he was not allowed to enter, until he convinced the police to take him there at night.
"Every Saturday night, somewhere between 11:00 am and 6:XNUMX am, I drove there to the city, when there were no TV people or newspapers. I took fresh flowers with me and threw them on the Ground Zero. I just went there and stayed there for hours. I spoke to myself and to my brother, "Mike recalls.

We explore the two-loop renormalization of the specific heat for an interacting disordered electron system in the case of broken time reversal symmetry. Within the nonlinear sigma model approach we derive the two-loop result for the anomalous dimension which controls scaling of the specific heat with temperature. As an example, we elaborate the metal–insulator transition near two dimensions for the case of broken time reversal and spin rotational symmetries and in the presence of Coulomb interaction. In this situation scaling of the specific heat is determined by the anomalous dimension of the Finkel'stein operator which is the eigenoperator of the renormalization group complementary to the eigenoperator corresponding to the second moment of the local density of states. We find that the absolute values of the anomalous dimensions of these operators differ beyond one-loop approximation contrary to the noninteracting case.


BSA driver Scott Lagasse Jr.
Do your Scouts like fast cars? Do I even have to ask?
Let's face it: Getting your guys to tune in and cheer on the BSA's No. 8 car at this weekend's NASCAR Nationwide Series race won't be too tough. It's like asking if they want seconds of your Dutch oven cobbler.
No doubt your guys and girls will be revved up about the chance to see Scott Lagasse Jr. take the wheel of the No. 8 HybridLight BSA car in Saturday's race. It's our first look at the BSA Chevy this year.
But your job is to steer your Scouts' enthusiasm for racing into something that'll benefit your unit long-term.
I'm talking about recruiting, retention, and racing's ties to STEM — science, technology, engineering, and math. Learn some more facts about the BSA-NASCAR relationship in my post from September. And stay tuned for more details about how BSA Racing will support your Scouting efforts.
Where: The legendary Daytona International Speedway.
When/TV: The race airs at 1 p.m. (Eastern) Saturday on ESPN.
Who: Scott Lagasse Jr., who drives the No. 8 HybridLight BSA car. Just look for the BSA fleur-de-lis.
Last year, BSA Racing announced it was adding the NASCAR Nationwide Series to its lineup that already included a Dale Coyne Racing IndyCar. The cars, both emblazoned with that distinctive fleur-de-lis, form a one-two racing punch and increase Scouting's national exposure.
But there's a lot more to BSA Racing than watching our logo do laps around an oval. The cars provide a platform to promote science, technology, and math to those involved in Scouting.
In past blog posts about BSA Racing, some commenters intimated that the Boy Scouts of America was investing heaps of its own money to support these cars. That's not true. In fact, the program is a royalty-free arrangement, meaning that thanks to the generous support of Dale Coyne Racing, IndyCar, and Scott Lagasse Racing, there's no cash investment from the BSA.
Make plans to watch or attend some NASCAR Nationwide Series races this season. Races highlighted in blue are ones where the BSA car is scheduled to appear.

DNA – The Promise & The Price
Narrator Bill Paterson: "A child born in 1953, the structure of DNA has just been discovered. 1989 and this baby's genetic fingerprint can be identified. The first single gene for Huntington's disease has been discovered. 2003 this child's entire genetic code can now be read and faulty genes in his DNA can be adjusted. Another birth, but this time no ordinary miracle. The baby's sex and eye colour were decided before she was conceived; also her hair, the shape of her nose and her intelligence. The date of her birth? Perhaps only a few years from now. She's born from a revolution in genetics. A revolution where each new step brings new questions of ethics and responsibility. And as the promises of the science gets greater, so do the questions for all of us get bigger."
DNA – The Promise & The Price provides an excellent resource for discussing the ethical implications of advancing genetic research, focusing on; gene therapy, stem cells and cloning. The documentary examines the frontiers of genetic science, revealing how researchers attempt to fulfil DNA's potential to help cure and prevent disease. It also questions how some aspects of these novel technologies may have significant consequences for individuals and society. Bill Paterson: "Much is promised by genetic science, the manipulation of our genes. But can it deliver? And if it does are we ready to take responsibility for meddling with the very fabric of life itself: our DNA".
Professor Steve Jones: "When it comes to medical research, any medical technology that works, it is very quickly accepted by the public. Ethicists may not like it, scientists may not like it, but the public, if they believe it works they will accept it, and the legislation will always follow. Ethics has always followed science, it's never led it and I don't see any reason why genetics is going to be any different. Ethicists would love to tell geneticists what to do, but I'm afraid the geneticists are not going to listen."
The topics found in DNA – The Promise & The Price include: genetics; genetic diseases; gene therapy; transplantation; stem cells; and cloning can all be found in the UK National Curriculum. Please note all timings mentioned include advertisement breaks – (00:04:51 – 00:08:00, 00:25:31 – 00:28:40 and 00:46:50 – 00:50:00)
Gene therapy: (00:08:00 – 00:23:15).
Gene therapy is a technique that is hoped will help treat and cure genetic diseases such as Cystic Fibrosis, Muscular Dystrophy and Haemophilia, by directly manipulating the faulty genes that causes these diseases. (Please note this section contains some good animations illustrating how gene therapy works).
Animation explaining how gene therapy works
Gene therapy exploits the ability of a virus to insert a normal working gene into the genome of the patient's cells. The documentary explains that despite the great hope that surrounds gene therapy it has so far been very risky. In 1999 Jesse Gelsinger died as a result of taking part in a gene therapy trial and in a separate trial several French patients developed leukaemia as a result of the gene therapy (See Gene therapy – Horizon "trial and error" and Designer Babies – three documentaries).
The unfortunate events mentioned above highlight two potential flaws with gene therapy (at least as carried out to date):
The vector virus itself can cause a severe immune response in the patient, as seen in the case of Jesse Gelsinger.
When the virus inserts the gene into the genome it can cause catastrophic consequences if the new gene inserted disrupts, or activates, a pre-existing gene in the genome. In the French patients, the virus inserted the new gene alongside LMO-2, a cancer-causing gene on Chromosome 11. The strong promoter (control box) on the inserted gene activated the LMO-2 gene leading to the development of leukaemia.
Jeremy Rifkin - Author, 'Biotech Century': "My problem with gene therapy is not in the principle of it but its execution. The young Jesse Gelsinger, this young man was not near death at all, he was leading a fairly healthy life. He died almost immediately from the actual therapy, so he died and he didn't need to."
The documentary moves to explain how scientists are working to overcome the risk factors associated with gene therapy, trialling new techniques on patients with Haemophilia. The trials yield some initial success, but the uncertainty that surrounds this technology means the work of scientists is often slow and frustrating.
HPV inserts the viral specific genes E6 and E7 into the genome of normal cells in the patient
The documentary also highlights the pioneering research to prevent cervical cancer by Professor Jo Milner (00:18:56 – 00:23:15). It is now recognised that the sexually transmitted virus human papillomavirus (HPV) can cause cervical cancer, by inserting two of its own genes E6 and E7 into the genome of the cells found in the future patient. These viral specific genes override the regulatory systems that normally control cell division and thus cause uncontrollable cell growth – cancer. Professor Milner proposes using short-interfering RNA to block the viral genes from working allowing the cells to regulate their rate of growth. This section illustrates how gene therapy has developed over recent years, looking towards innovative techniques to deliver the therapy.
Since this documentary was broadcast, the UK has seen the start of a major immunisation programme to protect future generations of women against cervical cancer (See this NHS website and also see 'The jab that can stop cancer – Dispatches').
Stem cells: (00:23:50 – 00:41:45)
Dr James Willerson - Texas Heart Institute
In this next section (00:23:50 – 00:33:30) , the documentary focuses on how scientists are helping doctors to overcome complex genetic illness, such as heart disease. A Brazilian patient who suffered from chronic heart disease and was waiting for a heart transplant, underwent a revolutionary procedure to help save his life. His heart was regenerated by stem cells, the master cells in the body that repair and regenerate all types of tissues. Collaboration at the Texas Heart Institute between Dr James Willerson and Dr Emerson Perin to use adult bone marrow stem cells to regenerate damaged tissue in the heart, led to significant improvements in the patients heart blood flow and its over all function. Using high-tech computers to help map the damaged and healthy cells in the patients heart, allowed the doctors to precisely inject the patients bone marrow stem cells directly between these areas. The heart has little or no stem cells of its own, however when the bone marrow stem cells where injected into the heart tissue the new chemical environment caused them to regenerate the damaged heart.
Dr Emerson Perin - Texas Heart Institute
The Brazilian patient was part of a clinical trial and the treatment remains in the experimental stage. Some scientists believe that stem cells offer an even greater source of medical treatment, suggesting that in the future it might be possible to grow entire organs to replace damaged ones. Adult stem cells are limited by the number of different tissue types they can grow into, therefore scientists are concentrating on embryonic stem cells. The special characteristics of these cells means that they have the potential to adapt and grow into any cell type found in the human body. The following section (00:33:30 – 00:39:20) describes scientists are working towards growing organs for transplantation.
Professor Steve Jones: "The most exciting part of genetics, is without question, the genetics of development – how do you get from an egg to a human being. How do you get a streak of tissues in the embryo to a heart? If we can crack that then it is conceivable, only conceivable, that we can do the job ourselves and re-grow a heart. Think of the medical problems we could solve."
Jeremy Rifkin – Author, 'BiotechCentury': "When we create embryos specifically to harvest stem cells for experimental purposes, with the idea that the embryo will be destroyed so it wont come to term. That is really dangerous, that's eugenics, that should not be the way that we proceed with science."
Professor Makoto Asashima - University of Tokyo
A Japanese scientist that uses frogs in his experiments has become the first to successfully grow a sensitive organ (eyes) from scratch and then transplant them back into the frog. Stem cells are universally found in all living organisms; and Professor Makoto Asashima from University of Tokyo has taken embryonic stem cells from a tadpole embryo and stimulated them to grow into eyes, kidneys, livers and the heart. He admits however that despite this success he still does not know how the stem cells in the new eye know how to successfully connect to cells in the frogs brain.
Despite the promise that Professor Asahima's work could some day be transferred to humans, there are significant ethical problems with this technology (00:39:00 – 00:41:52). If these innovative organs were to succeed in humans, the embryonic stem cells generated to grow the organs would need to originate from the individual them self, to ensure that the new organ was not rejected. Therefore the only way to produce stem cells which exclusively contain our own genes is to produce a cloned embryo. Dr Robert Lanza – Advanced Cell Technology, describes how his group carries out experiments using primate cloned embryonic stem cells, and how they have so far being able to stimulate these cells to produce dopamine producing cells which could help treat Parkinson's disease sufferers or beating heart cells used to treat heart disease. This work is contributing to their main aim of growing an entire organ, however he admits that at the time of filming such breakthroughs are at least 10 or 15 years away.
Cloning: (00:41:35 – end)
This final section focuses on the ethical arguments that surround the human embryo and cloning, in particular the embryos right to life. It is important also while examining these arguments to understand the difference between 'therapeutic cloning' and 'reproductive cloning', a point the programme fails to do. Therapeutic cloning is when stem cells are harvested from a cloned embryo to treat a patient or carry out research (as mentioned above), however reproductive cloning is when a cloned embryo is implanted into the womb to produce a cloned human. There is significant opposition towards reproductive cloning.
Professor Keith Campbell - Nottingham University, and co-creator of Dolly the sheep, argues that: "To my knowledge I don't think that there was any evidence that Dolly aged prematurely compared to another animal of the same age produced by natural ageing techniques. It may appear that all of the animals we porduce by this technique are normal, but it is a very inefficient technique. And we don't understand the mechanisms which control development, so we produce some abnormal and also dead foetuses... Their offspring may well have abnormalities that with human medicine may not be life-threatening, the chances of that happening are not worth the risks at presant and we should not attempt human cloning."
However despite these concerns Dr Panos Zavos – Director of Andrology Institute of America, believes that reproductive cloning is essential to help couple's who can not have children naturally, and that they have the right to have a child through cloning. He also believes that because of his extensive fertility expertise, he has the skill needed to successfully achieve a clone child, and therefore overcome any risks associated with this technique. The documentary makes its clear that there are many arguments both in favour and against human cloning, and that it is essential that the scientific community does not pursue such venture unethically.
DNA: The Promise & The Price, highlights many new aspects of genetic science while discussing the ethical arguments that surround them. Through out the documentary it reports on an international public opinion poll conducted by the documentary, regards the issues discussed in the programme. Below are some questions which would complement teaching any of the topics above, and the relevant times in which the public poll is referred to.
Genetic science: (00:03:30 – 00:04:20) – Will genetic science decide the future of the human race?
Gene therapy: (00:15:55 – 00:17:10) – Would you take part in a gene therapy trial if you knew people had died from the treatment? What are the risks associated with gene therapy?
Genetic disease: (00:22:45 – 00:23:20) – Do you think genetic science will help cure all disease?
Stem cells: (00:41:35 – 00:44:23) – Should embryonic stem cells research be banned? What are the different uses of embryonic stem cells?
Human Cloning:(00:46:15 – 00:46:23, 00:52:51 – 00:53:28 and 00:54:20 – 00:54:40) – When do you think a human will be sucessfully cloned? Do you think human cloning is right? Who could benefit from human cloning?
DNA – The Promise & The Price was first broadcast on Discovery Science on 5th September 2008, 21:00 (60 minutes). TRILT Identifier: 001DC831. Repeated on 6th, 7th, 8th, 12th, 13th, 14th September 2008. An earlier programme of the same name has different content.

human cloning is amazing…yet i don't want to see bunch of einstein ,mother teresa and even myself in the streets roaming around…infertile couples could adopt babies from the orphanage..that's the best way to decrease population..
if these technologies will be for the cure of genetic diseases, there would be no problem.. But if these will be for human's greedy intentions—better put all these to waste. :)

PCS topples Petal in the Jones College Bobcat Math League Championship Finals
ELLISVILLE – After five weeks of securing the first-place ranking going into the Jones College Bobcat Math League Championship Finals, Presbyterian Christian High School's team managed to fend off newcomers to the competition and the second-seeded team, Petal High School to become the 2019 Jones College Bobcat Math League Champions. Besides a trophy, coach's plaque and player medallions, the coach was awarded a $1,350 cash prize. The team members will split $1,500 and the high school will receive $250 for the victory.
"I have great students!" said Presbyterian Christian High School Coach, Melissa Brown. "They do all the work. I just help them get here to the competition."
In fact, Brown's teams from PCS hold the record for the most championship wins, and runner-up finishes in the Bobcat Math League's history with three championships in 2019, 2014 and 2013, and two, second-place finishes in 2018 and 2012.
"Last year was tough because both teams knew the answer and Oak Grove just beat us to the buzzer. I think most of the credit goes to the students for their work ethic and their desire to learn new things, but credit also goes to the great math and science teachers we have here at PCS," said Brown.
Every year, new teams join the League and some dropout. This year, the Petal Panthers proved they were contenders despite their lack of experience in the League.
"It was so fun as a coach to watch these students excel in this competition. Many of them do not get a platform to showcase their academic abilities and for them to have an opportunity to do so is really amazing," said Petal High School Co-Coach, Melissa Bonner.
Petal High School Senior, Thomas Sanchez said he really enjoyed participating in this unique, STEM-based competition with other high schools.
"This event is one of the very few where I actually get to use my math abilities competitively. STEM is essentially foundational now because of the new developments we see in the world and for a group to support that and strive for excellence in the field is a great thing in my book. As for almost winning the whole thing on our first competition year, well, it was pretty cool! said Sanchez.
Both Petal and Presbyterian Christian were both powerhouses during the regular season, as the only undefeated teams, division leaders and the highest cumulative season points with 339 and 354, respectively. However, the PCS Bobcats may have the advantage in the final rounds of the Championship Finals with experience on their side.
"This year we had the dream team," said PCS sophomore, Sam Powell. "I'm glad I had the chance to be on the team with the seniors. All of them have competed here before and I will miss them next year."
In the double-elimination tournament, experience seemed to give the PCS Bobcat team an advantage as they slipped past Quitman in their first round, 24 to 15. In the next round, the third-seeded Northeast Jones Tigers beat the Panthers, 22 to 10, sending Petal to the loser's bracket. Petal had a chance to rest up before facing the fourth-seeded Sacred Heart Crusaders. By outscoring the Crusaders, 34 to 12, Petal earned the victory. Because Sacred Heart lost to Petal and the fifth-seeded Quitman team in the first round, The Crusaders were eliminated. With a loss to PCS, Quitman tried to regain the opportunity to play in the final championship round by taking the early lead in their match against the sixth-seeded Oak Grove team in the loser's bracket. The Quitman Panthers challenged the Warriors early to capture the lead but not the win. Oak Grove's Ethan Choi took control of the match and pulled the Warriors ahead, 24 to 19.
In the quarter-final round, the Oak Grove Warriors tried to dominant the Petal Panthers, but Petal's Logan Baggett turned the tide by answering correctly and edged the Panthers ahead. A missed daily double by Petal offered a little hope for the Warriors with only three-points between the teams. Then, Petal's Wyatt Carter and Thomas Sanchez beat Oak Grove to the buzzer and pushed the Panthers past the Warriors, 24 to 19, to seal their spot in the semifinals.
In the semi-final round, the Tigers of Northeast Jones fell flat facing the Panthers of Petal. Meanwhile, the Petal Panthers kept their winning momentum to shut out the Tigers, 19 to 0.
"Clawing our way back from the loser's bracket up to the championship was definitely tough, as well as something we're proud of," said Petal Junior, Raburn Paris. "We have to come in next year stronger and with a more diverse knowledge base."
Petal and Presbyterian Christian had not faced each other before coming into the championship final round. After playing two rounds prior to the championship round, Petal seemed to lose steam as they entered the second round of the best of three championship matches. The Petal Panthers won the first round 33 to 24, but PCS turned up the heat with seniors, Matthew Rester, Carson Dorsey, Jennifer Jian and Grayson Nocera racking up the points. The Bobcats slaughtered the Panthers, 44 to 14.
The third and final round would ultimately decide who would be the 2019 Bobcat Math League Champion with PCS gaining momentum. Petal was only able to get a few points from PCS as the Bobcats ran away with the final match, 45 to 12. Individually, the Bobcats had three members of the All- League Team with Grayson Nocera, Matthew Rester and Jennifer Jian, who also earned the Overall Most Outstanding Player. Jian received a laptop from Howard Industries for having the highest average of accurate answers during the regular season. Also, on the All-League Team were Petal's Wyatt Carter, Northeast Jones' Lexi Berlin and Oak Grove's William Mitchell.
Additionally, each of the 13 teams' Most Outstanding players who competed during the five-week regular season of the Jones College Bobcat Math League were also recognized during the Championship Finals at Jones College. The Leagues' Most Outstanding Player from each participating team were: Columbia Academy-Ben Mitchell; Northeast Jones-Lexi Berlin; Oak Grove-William Mitchell; Perry Central Ale'Jah Bolton; Petal-Wyatt Carter; Presbyterian Christian-Jennifer Jian; Quitman-Logan Kelly; Raleigh-Emma Jones; Raymond-Joshua McGee and Shaun Williams; Sacred Heart-Javier Parada and Abigail Wiest; South Jones-Shelby Grunig; Wayne Academy-Parker Odom and Jennifer Shirley; Wayne County-Jared Powe and West Jones-Lindsey Cole.
All of the teams, coaches and schools who participated in the playoffs received monetary awards depending upon their final placement in the playoffs. As first-place winners, Presbyterian Christian High School team members said they are excited about the monetary award and feel blessed to have talented team members and excellent faculty. However, this win was especially "bittersweet" for PCS Coach Brown.
"It has been an honor to work with such great students over the years. It is an amazing feeling to be the champions as I am retiring after this year. I am excited to see what our team will do in the future!"
In second place, Petal High School received $150, the team split $1,300 and the coaches split $1,250. Third place winners, the Northeast Jones High School Tigers' team received $1,000. The coach earned $1,050 and the school received $100. The fourth-place Oak Grove team received $650 with the coach earning $850 and the high school received $50 for accomplishments. The fifth-place winners, Quitman High School and the sixth-place team, Sacred Heart received the same amount of cash prizes with each team earning $150, the coaches earned $650, and each high school received $25.
Sponsors for this year's competition include Chisholm Foundation, Howard Computers and Corner Market. For more information about the Bobcat Math League contact Dr. Jessica Bunch (JC Bobcat Math League Commissioner) at 601-477-5422 or email at jessica.bunch@jcjc.edu.
Jones College's radiologic technology department receives new equipment
ELLISVILLE – A grant from the Asbury Foundation enabled Jones College's radiography department to purchase the newest digital equipment available for the student lab at JC. The newly installed laboratory equipment includes a Del Medical FMT18M floor-mounted tube stand, Del Medical OTC18M ceiling-mounted tube support and a Samsung GM85 Lite mobile digital radiographic unit. These additions provide students the opportunity to learn with high-quality equipment found in most area health facilities.
"Most health care facilities now utilize digital technology," said Jones College's Radiologic Technology Director, Mandy Pearson M.S. R. T. (R). "Without this donation from Asbury, we would not have the advanced technology to train our students on campus. This new equipment allows Jones students to be well-prepared to enter the clinical environment."
Sophomore Jones College student, Sara Sadler from Columbus said she is excited to be a part of the change in the radiologic technology department at Jones. Sadler said she also benefitted from using the older equip ment because some clinical sites don't have the newest technology.
"Since technology is advancing and more clinical sites are becoming solely digital-based, it is great Jones has received new, top-of-the-line equipment which helps broaden my knowledge," said Sadler. "I strongly feel Jones is doing a great job at preparing me for my future in the workplace to be a radiologic technologist."
Sadler points out having new equipment is a big plus. However, Jones' radiologic technology program also has a high success rate and pass-rate for students taking the national registry upon completion of the program. Now, with the new digital equipment in the Jones lab, Pearson said Jones College students should have an advantage in th e workplace.
For more information about the Jones College Radiologic Technology program, email Mandy Pearson at mandy.pearson@jcjc.edu or call the department at 601-477-2416.

03 Jul Realising the Dream
Posted at 13:34h in Golf Academy	by	David McDonnell 0 Comments
With 15 years of college golf and hundreds of students completing the two-year programme, perhaps 2017 will be remembered as a pivotal moment in the history of the SGS College Golf Academy.
This was the year that one of our graduates, Jordan Smith, would tee up in the biggest tournament in Europe and confirm his arrival at the very top of the game.
This momentous occasion was to be shared by 13 of our present students who would be working and watching on the beautiful sun drenched fairways of the Wentworth Estate.
Working for the wonderful Eventful Temps, with whom SGS has built a great working relationship over the last 12 years, our students would be manning the scoreboards over the important last three holes. Lucinda Hallett, head of Eventful Temps, had also managed to retain the carry board of Jordan, allowing two of our students an inside the ropes experience they would never forget.
Leaving early Wednesday morning the SGE students would get to watch the celebrity Pro-Am taking part the day before the Championship. The Pro-Am is a relaxed event aimed at allowing the public greater access to both the pros and the stars of stage and screen. Many selfies were taken and our students would make the most of this opportunity.
The afternoon was reserved for a get together with Jordan who had agreed to meet and chat with students from his old College. Jordan could not have been more helpful and spent time answering questions from the students and reminiscing over his time at the SGS Golf Academy.
Jordan had been on this very trip in 2010 and had carried a leader board for Lee Westwood, Henrik Stenson and Oliver Wilson, all multiple winners on the European Tour. Some seven years later Jordan would be teeing it up alongside all three of the above but also many of the best players in the world. Quite a journey for the quiet young man from Wiltshire that SGS Coaches Kelvin and Pete remember.
Jordan had his team with him and they were equally helpful. Coach Simon Shanks was on hand to check Jordan was firing on all cylinders and gave an insider's view of the challenges of Tour coaching. Alongside was S&C coach Rob Hobkinson who had organised a full workout routine for Jordan each day. Manager Duncan Maxim from MB partners ensured the smooth running of everything else leaving Jordan to concentrate on his golf. It was also a pleasure to bump into Martin and Emma, Jordan's rather nervous, but immensely proud, parents.
With a shift pattern in place for our students and a late start on the first day of competition there was plenty of time to watch some golf and then see the opening tee shot of Jordan. Coach Kelvin had played in this same event many years before and remembered with some trepidation the nerves that engulf you when announced on the first tee. Suffice to say, Jordan made a much better job of it, calmly smashing the ball some 350 yards down the first fairway leaving a short pitch into a hole that measured some 476 yards. An opening round of level par would see Jordan off to a solid start.
Leaving our digs at 6.15am the next morning would allow both coaches and students to follow Jordan for the front nine of his second round. Jordan would show some incredible recovery skills notable a wondrous par on the eighth and finish with an eagle down the last ensuring he would make the cut in this highly lucrative event.
Jordan would reach 14th spot after day three and go on to make yet another eagle down the last on day four to earn the not insignificant sum of €36,000.
Head of the Golf Academy at SGS College, Peter Langford said "This was a very special trip for all of us from SGS Golf. To see our first fully fledged European Tour Player taking part in an event of this magnitude shows that it is possible to go from college golf to Tour golf and is a great motivator for our present and future students.
"Having watched Jordan over these last few days, I can only see Jordan winning very soon. We would like to thank Jordan for being so approachable during the event and wish him the best of luck over the rest of the season."

Nevada Family Law Courts Reopening Update
*Edit – May 15, 2020: Nevada courts will continue with the current operations for at least 30 days after Governor Sisolak's Road to Recovery Phase 1 (a minimum of 60 days).
Today, I want to give you a little bit of an update on what is happening with the Nevada family law courts and the reopening stages. As of April 27th, the courts are beginning to look at restoring the normal operations of the courthouse. They are doing so in accordance with guidelines set by the governor and will be relying on data obtained from local and state public officials as well as the Center For Disease Control and Prevention.
Nevada courts are looking to open up in phases. As of April 27th we are still within the first phase where courthouse are closed to the public, all cases that are not necessary are being postponed, and most court employees are working remotely.
We believe that beginning in May, whether it's the first or second week, it has not yet been announced, we will be moving into phase two. **Edit – May 15, 2020: Nevada courts will continue with the current operations for at least 30 days after Governor Sisolak's Road to Recovery Phase 1 (a minimum of 60 days). The second phase will serve to loosen up the restrictions a bit. It will allow for an increase in court filings and proceedings but will still continue to have the majority of its filings conducted electronically. Most employees will continue to work remotely. People who are not considered vulnerable to COVID-19 will be allowed to return to work in phase two.
Phase three will be where most employees will return to work, but they will still need to maintain social distancing and will be required to wear masks. Courtrooms will be reopening at this phase but will be abiding by the six-foot distancing protocol.
Lastly, phase four will involve returning to as normal as possible. However, we don't know exactly what that new "normal" will look like.
These are the phases that the court is looking at to begin transitioning back to normal operations once again, however, these phases will be dependent on local circumstances, most notably being the number of daily COVID-19 cases over a 14-day period. These phases may be altered in response to those numbers.
Again, we do expect phase two to begin sometime in the first or second week of May, **Edit – May 15, 2020: Nevada courts will continue with the current operations for at least 30 days after Governor Sisolak's Road to Recovery Phase 1 (a minimum of 60 days). but as of April 27th, this is the information that we have been told about the impending reopening of the courthouses. We will await further instructions from the governor.
If you have questions or concerns regarding your family law case, or any other family law related issue as it relates to the COVID19 pandemic, please do not hesitate to contact our office to discuss your particular situation in detail.

The 105-mm Howitzer Motor Carriage M7 was an American self-propelled artillery vehicle produced during World War II. It was called the Priest by the British Army, due to the pulpit-like machine gun ring. The first M7s produced were modified M3 Lee medium tanks. The M7 went through a fairly rapid shift from being based on the M3, to having more in common with the M4 Sherman. The first major example was an adoption of the M4's three piece housing, single piece casting and suspension. In British service, some M7s carried a radio set, which took the place of twenty-four rounds of ammunition.
In U.S. service, the M7 was a resounding success. During the Battle of the Bulge, each U.S. armored division had three battalions of M7s, giving them unmatched mobile artillery support. A total of 3,490 M7s were built and they proved to be reliable, continuing to see service in the U.S. and allied armies well past World War II.
Created in 1944, this field manual reveals a great deal about the Priest's design and capabilities. The manual prescribes the duties to be performed in the service of the M7, by firing battery personnel. Originally labeled restricted, this manual was declassified long ago and is here reprinted in book form. Care has been taken to preserve the integrity of the text.

Seattle gets its redneck on
The Northwest loves NPR AND country kickin'. What does that say about our cultural and political leanings?
Greg Shaw
Kenny Chesney kills at sold out CenturyLink Field.
Conventional western Washington wisdom holds that NPR is always playing solemnly in the background at home or on those increasingly traffic-jammed commutes. When we change stations, it's to reconnect with grunge or the hip-hop stylings of Macklemore and Ryan Lewis.
But Seattle also has what country and TV star Blake Shelton calls, "a hillbilly bone down deep inside."
While serious Seattle may be tuning into NPR's 88.5 or 94.9 for their morning Obamacare debate, just a few turns down the dial (at country music's 100.7 The Wolf), there's a similar but less serious — and unexpected — conversation going on. One recent morning, just after the federal government shutdown, Wolf personalities Fitz and Tony Russell were arguing on-air about the Affordable Care Act and its role in Washington D.C.'s budget battle.
Fitz was stirring things up: Obamacare is too confusing, he said, and both parties are to blame. It's that confusion that has caused this whole mess.
Russell, in his West Virginia twang, fired right back: Democrats want the Affordable Care Act to work. Why would they go around making the debate more confusing than it already is? Affordable health care for everyone, he argued, is something we should all want even though we can't know yet if this plan will actually work.
"The longer I live out here, the more liberal I get," Russell confessed.
The exchange was remarkable in a few ways. First, country stations are not where you'd expect to find a public affairs debate, and certainly not a balanced one. Second, country music? In Seattle?
It turns out it's more popular than you'd think. KKWF (The Wolf) is tied for fifth place with KUOW for Seattle-Tacoma market share. And of 33 local stations, country's KMPS is holding steady in the number nine position — well ahead of KPLU (NPR), which ranks 13th. In Portland, Seattle's more liberal stepsister, country is number two.
As Russell put it when we spoke later, in the towns and cities north, south, east and west of Seattle, KKWF is holding down the number one spot on the dial. A fact that puts the station in line with the rest of the nation, where Pew's Project for Excellence in Journalism puts country at number one.
Of course, if you've ever gotten within a country mile of any twangy musician playing the Tacoma Dome or Key Arena, you know that the Taylor Swifts, Kenny Chesneys and Jason Aldeans of the Nashville scene routinely sell out here in the Northwest. And the Little Red Hen dance hall in Seattle's Green Lake neighborhood is packed with country music fans, not to mention the country-curious. We've even got a local NASCAR champion, Casey Kahne of Enumclaw, who last month beat Jeff Gordon at Pocono to take 8th overall.
What does this say about our coastal, blue-hued, tech-savvy region? After all, country music is heartland, red-meat, down-home, right?

There is some truth to that stereotype. Russell told me he had gotten strong criticism for his position. "The country audience is Republican-leaning," he said. "It's very conservative. God and country — and beer."
Country and politics have always mixed up a volatile cocktail. The Dixie Chicks were banned in parts of the United States for speaking out in London in 2003 against the Bush Administration's war policy. Conversely, ESPN dropped Hank Williams Jr., a vocal Republican booster, for his derogatory comments about President Obama.
It didn't necessarily start out that way though. As blogger Eric V. Kirk points out, sometimes sarcastically, country has long been misunderstood as a platform for right-wing advocacy. In "Rednecks and Bluenecks," author Chris Willman looks at the way country's increasing popularity and conservative drift parallel the transformation of the Democratic South into the heart of the Republican mainstream. If Woody Guthrie is to country what Elvis Presley is to rock, then country's lyrical roots are buried in populist ideologies. Of course the Washington state song, Roll on Columbia, Roll on," was written by Guthrie, who identified with other Dust Bowl refugees who migrated to this region.
In his blog, Kirk writes that Johnny Cash's "Man in Black" is a "liberal manifesto with light irony." Loretta Lynn's "The Pill" is about sexual liberation and Dolly Parton's "9 to 5" is about class struggle in the workplace.
The direction of country music is drawing increased critical interest. The New York Times has begun devoting considerable Arts space to the genre it has, until now, largely ignored. Music critic Jon Caramanica wrote a keenly insightful Aug. 17th review of a new album by Luke Bryan ("Crash My Party"), one of country's top musicians. Bryan's thematic shift, Caramanica wrote, "mirrors country music's full-fledged arrival as an urban and suburban phenomenon – in the college towns where young people from small towns congregate, or cities that are home to large numbers who migrated from the South." They aren't in opposition to much of the rest of what's on the charts, and they see themselves as firmly part of the world.
"Country music is more mobile, and more open-eared, than it's ever been before," Caramanica wrote.
And lately, its lyrics have been sounding pretty urban. Slate magazine wrote recently about the growing appearance of marijuana — and not whiskey — in country lyrics. Brad Paisley and LL Cool J try to work through the South's racism stigma, and Taylor Swift's just wondering why everybody's got to be so mean.
The Wolf's Russell says country has turned to a more "pop-ish" sound that has grown its market share dramatically over the seven years he's been on the radio here.
To be sure, Seattle is no country neophyte. In his history of the Space Needle, Crosscut writer Knute Berger discovered that on May 18, 1963 the staff of Country KAYO radio milked a cow on the Needle "to prove Western music is high-class."
Perhaps the popularity of country in the Northwest is little more than youth mania for the likes of Carrie Underwood, Lady Antebellum and Taylor Swift. But music is full of framing, messaging and personal sentiment. Sure, there are still plenty of drinkin', lovin', fightin' and fishin' songs, but there is also still a healthy dose of self-reliance, hard work, patriotism and family values.
Country is playing to an increasingly broad audience — and the Northwest is listening.

The sooner lawyers understand the importance of having a blog to secure clientele, the quicker their business flourishes. Studies have proven time and time again that blogs do wonders for achieving high Google search results, jumpstarting your lead generation, and increasing shareability by having a catalog of information for clients to engage with on social media.
In this two-part blog series, we will explore 1. The Value of a Blog (where we are) and 2. How to Go About Starting One.
Legal blogs — otherwise known as blawgs — cost very little to run when compared with the huge marketing campaigns bigger firms use. As much or as little effort can be put into it as you have resources available, and it will always yield results. Because this is an inbound lead instead of an outbound one, the company is investing less but gaining more.
SEO, or search engine optimization, is a style of blogging that uses key, searchable words to drive relevant clientele to a given website. By blogging about a variety of topics relevant to the legal field — like a blog about breaking down legal jargon, for example — you are driving traffic to a website that can then be converted into a new business prospect.
Blogs help your firm, or you individually, build a strong voice. By creating what could be considered a "personality" for your firm, people are more likely to relate to you and see you as a resource. Your expertise, via your blog, can then be shared via platforms such as LinkedIn, Facebook, etc. This sharing multiplies the impact of the blog. A golden rule of marketing is that word-of-mouth can make or break a business. A blog is an excellent way to allow others to spread your firm's message.
Each year the ABA publishes a list of the best legal blogs. I would encourage you to study these and determine why they work and then create your own blogging style.

The Pantiles is a Georgian colonnade in the town of Royal Tunbridge Wells, Kent, England. Formerly known as "The Walks" and the (Royal) "Parade", it leads from the well that gave the town its name.  The area, developed following the discovery of a chalybeate spring in 1606,  has become a popular  tourist-attraction.

 the Pantiles includes a variety of specialist shops, art galleries, cafés, restaurants and bars, as well as a  farmers market held outside every other Saturday.  Throughout the summer jazz bands play outside on the bandstand, attracting hundreds of people.

Chalybeate spring

The chalybeate spring is situated at the north-eastern end of The Pantiles at .  The spring is overlooked by the Dipper's Hall.  The waters are rich in iron giving them a unique taste.

Tourists can sample the spring water which is served by costumed 'Dippers' every summer.

History

1606-1659: Discovery of the wells
Dudley Lord North, a distinguished courtier during the reign of King James I, discovered the waters in 1606.  Having lived a fashionably excessive lifestyle, he retired to the countryside (in nearby Eridge) in an unsuccessful attempt to repair his health.  Travelling through woodland on his return to London, he discovered the waters and decided to try them.  He found his health completely restored and lived to the age of 80.

With public interest aroused, Lord Abergavenny cleared the area of brushwood, sank wells and surrounded them with stone paving and railings.  The waters subsequently attracted other visitors, who also claimed their health to be restored.  Although few in number, due to the lack of accommodation nearby (at this time, the nearest being in Tunbridge (now Tonbridge), some 5 miles to the north), the visitors were of high social standing.  They included Henrietta Maria of France, wife of King Charles I, six weeks after the birth of her son (later to become King Charles II) whose party camped in opulent tents erected at Bishops Down, due to the lack of nearby lodgings.

Originally referred to as Frant Wells, they were later renamed Queen Mary's Wells, in honour of Queen Mary II and were only later given the present name of Tunbridge Wells.

The Upper and Lower Walks were created in 1638, when an existing bank of earth stretching south-west from the wells was levelled and planted with a double row of trees.  Wooden buildings were constructed on both sides of the Walks.

1660-1738: Post-Restoration
The wells were neglected and almost forgotten during the English civil wars.  It is following the Restoration, that several improvements were made to the immediate area, including construction of an assembly room and bowling green.  In 1664, following a dangerous illness, the queen (Catherine of Braganza) was ordered to drink the waters, increasing their popularity.

In 1687, a fire destroyed the wooden buildings located on either side of the Walks.  The buildings were later rebuilt with the colonnades which give the Pantiles its distinctive character today.  By 1697, coffee houses had been developed in the area.

1739 onwards: The Rusthall Manor Act
Signed in 1739, the Rusthall Manor Act ensured that the Walks, the Wells and the Dipper's Hall would be freely accessible to the public.  It also prevented the building of any further buildings on Tunbridge Wells Common.

Background to the name "Pantiles"
 In 1700 the Upper Walks were paved with pantiles.
 On the 1738 map the area appears pretty much in its present form.
 In 1793 the pantiles were mostly removed and substituted with stone flagging – the region was then called The Parade.
 In 1887 the old name was revived.

The pantiles used to pave the Upper Walks should not be confused with roofing pantiles. The paving installed there comprised one-inch thick square tiles made from heavy wealden clay, so named because they were shaped in a wooden pan before firing.

Most of the Pantiles is listed: mostly built early to mid 19th century. No.7 is c.1660; 39-41 was formerly the Gloster Tavern; The Corn Exchange and Royal Victoria Hotel are both early 19th century.

Events
  The Pantiles also hosts various festivals during the year including a food festival, a music festival featuring local bands, a fashion market and an open air art exhibition.

During the summer, the Pantiles hosts a summer jazz season, featuring evening outdoor jazz concerts on Thursday evenings where musicians play on the historic bandstand.

Cultural references
The Pantiles was used as a filming location for the 1967 musical Half a Sixpence starring Tommy Steele and Julia Foster. In 1991 it was used as a backdrop for the band World Of Twist, on the cover of their debut album, Quality Street, with the group dressed in period costume. In 2007 it was used in a Christmas television advert for the Morrisons supermarket chain starring the singer Lulu.  This caused some local discontent as Morrisons had only recently closed their Tunbridge Wells store.  Morrisons returned to the Pantiles for their 2009 Christmas advert starring Richard Hammond and Denise van Outen.  In 2021, the Pantiles was the backdrop for the televised christmas advert of the online retailer, Very,
