Gregory Williamson reclines in a battered old chaise lounge, set on a hilltop in the middle of nowhere. He is aware of the biting cold, but somehow no longer really feels it. He doesn't care. It's news from a distant land, one he is leaving behind. He is quite sure the feeling of distance means he is close to the end, and he is at peace with this. It's according to plan, after all. Like the night around him, time seems frozen, locking him into the present and endless moment. It's a comfortable fit. It feels familiar.
The stars of winter over him are as cold and hard as the air he breathes, clearly seen in the black sky until he exhales, and then briefly obscured by the steam of his breath. The clouds of steam are appearing less often. Orion fills his vision; the pale streamer of the winter Milky Way crosses the sky to the east. Sirius blazes down and to his left, twinkling with mad rainbow colors, a matter for peripheral vision. He can't turn his gaze directly toward it. He is mildly puzzled that the stars remain so clear and undimmed. Greg thinks his vision should be fading by now, but the stars are bright. That his last sight might be such a starry sky, a thing for which he has a fondness he's never been able to explain, is pleasing. It is also surprising that he can still appreciate the view, and feel that fondness, in that endless moment of his ending.
"What the hell do I know?" he mumbles to the stars. "First time for everything, even the last thing."
The pills are in him, washed down by expensive vodka. His coat is open to the bitter cold night air. The pills and the alcohol are surely doing their work, and because of them Greg feels perfectly comfortable, ironically numb to the winter air. He imagines that each time he exhales, another degree or two of body temperature is shed. He sighs deeply and bids farewell to a few more degrees. An overpowering urge to sleep wells up from deep within. He will be free soon. No more cancer, no more creaking old age, no more bitter undercurrent of betrayal. Greg looks up at the blaze of frosty stars and smiles. And drifts away into that sightless sleep that will soon be so much deeper. He can feel it happening, and a sense of comfort and ease fills him. And it does all feel very familiar. One last flicker of déjà vu.
He opens his eyes and realizes that he is no longer alone. Greg turns his head, expecting vertigo but feeling none, surprised that he can move at all. "Who the hell are you? And how did you find me?" Damn it, they found the note too soon.
"Call me Lucy," replies the tall woman standing beside him. "I didn't find you, exactly. We're all here together, after all."
"I didn't put even the merest hint of where I was going in that note."
Lucy shrugs and says, "That doesn't matter. I haven't seen your note."
"Who sent you?" he demands.
"No one," Lucy replies in a matter-of-fact tone. "Your daughters have no idea that you're out here. They haven't read your note either."
"Now, how the hell would you know that?"
"Same way I knew where to find you." Now Lucy wears a patient smile. "It's all a matter of awareness, and let's just say mine provides a unique perspective on your reality, compared with what you're accustomed to."
In the soft light of the stars it's hard to see much of the woman. Greg has the impression that she is tall and slender, with long dark hair and a face that implies Asian ancestry. She wears a long, dark coat, tied closed around her waist with a sash. Her arms are crossed over her chest, hands bare, and she seems entirely unaffected by the cold night air.
She gives him a speculative look. "Yes, you're definitely the one I need."
"You were looking for me?" Confusion rises through the swiftly diminishing urge to sleep. Greg feels more clear-headed than he has in many years. "Why?"
"That's going to take some of what you call time to answer," she replies.
"Time is something I don't have, lady. Not tonight. You'll need to explain yourself and quickly." Gregory looks back up to the stars. "I was just about gone when you butted in. Sound asleep for good and all."
"You're not sleepy," she points out.
Greg sits up, swinging his legs around and planting his bare feet on the ground. He doesn't feel his feet. "What the hell is up with that?" He looks down and sees his shirt hanging open over a scrawny, bare chest. The numbing buzz that lured him into one last sleep is quite gone, but he still doesn't feel the cold. He looks up at Lucy, who smiles down at him. "Who the hell are you?" he demands again. "What's happening to me?"
"That's part of what's going to take some time to explain," she replies, lowering herself to sit beside him, on the foot end of the lounge chair. "All part of the same story, Greg. But trust me, you have all the time you need to hear me out."
He isn't cold, the urge to sleep has completely vanished, and he doesn't feel any of the effects of drugs and alcohol. Greg exhales; his breath doesn't turn to steam. She knows his name, and knew where he was. But Greg is absolutely certain they've never met, even as he realizes she seems somehow – familiar.
"What the hell?" he whispers to himself, bewildered.
"Well, to start with, rest assured none of this has anything to do with any mythology you know about. All of those are vague impressions of the true reality. What the hell? What in god's name? Trust me, none of that applies."
"If that was supposed to make things any clearer…"
"We have a ways to go, yet," she replies. "A little patience will be well rewarded."
"Okay, I'll shut up and you start talking."
"Fair enough." She seems to be gathering her thoughts for a moment, then nods and says, "You're familiar with the concept of time's arrow?"
"Sure," he replies. "Time flows one way, past to present, and into the future."
"That's an illusion, one you experience because most of your consciousness exists in the linear realm," Lucy says.
"The what?"
"Reality is vastly more complicated than you realize," she tells him.
"I've – often thought so."
"You'd still be quite surprised." She laughs quietly. "Assuming you could truly comprehend that complexity enough to react with surprise. Still, I've gotten pretty good at interpreting it for linear perceptions."
"In that case, please continue." Greg is torn between annoyance and bafflement. Why am I not cold? I can't see my breath turn to steam.
"You and yours experience reality in a particular way, as a sequence of events strung out between what you call birth, and what you think is death. But there's more to it than that, so much more that your concept of eternity is a paltry thing by comparison." She is nodding as she speaks, as if pleased with herself. "My perspective is completely different. I experience all of reality in its vast diversity as a single thing, one that always exists right now. No past, no future, just – now. And all of its infinite aspects mesh together in a way that seeks a perfect balance or harmony."
"And the life I've lived and am about to end is a part of all that?" Greg asks.
"An infinitely tiny, and yet vital note in that desired harmony."
"Desired?"
"It's a work in progress," she admits with a shrug. "That's why I'm here with you."
"You know," he says, "I'd have thought even a hallucination in my last heartbeats would make at least a little more sense."
"I am not a figment of neurons giving their last and all," Lucy replies patiently. "I'm quite real, in my own particular way."
"Okay, you can see all of eternity at once," he says. "What does that make you? A god?"
"What you call eternity is just another part of the whole," she replies. "And in some of your linear mythologies, I'd qualify as a deity, though not in the sense of being the creative principle. There is such a thing, and I'm part of what it laid out when this reality came into existence. I'm sort of an emergent property, and the role I play could be roughly considered analogous to a conductor running an orchestra through the mother of all rehearsals, one that neither begins nor ends, although it certainly changes. I'm fond of what you would call musical metaphors, so you could think of it in terms of an infinity of variations on a theme."
"During the rehearsal?"
"I did say it's a work in progress."
"Okay, pardon the impatience of an old man, and never mind that nothing you've said makes a bit of sense, what does any of this have to do with me?"
"The work in progress is reality, all of it," she says patiently. "The rehearsal is forever revealing, well, call them off notes and instruments out of tune. My existence is defined and given purpose by tweaking these things, nudging the whole ever closer to the perfect performance. The linear reality you call life is a source for many disharmonies. To work on that aspect of it, I need to manipulate the existence of such as yourself."
"Right," he grunts in reply, slowly shaking his head. "So, any moment now, I'll actually be dead, and you'll be as gone as I am. And I should be dead by now, with the pills I took. To say nothing of being well on the way to freezing solid."
"Oh, you are quite dead, Greg," she assures him. "At least, you are in the linear sense of your perception. But in the true nature of reality, the symphony I conduct, you are an unerasable part of the score. So you're anything but dead, and never can be."
She rises to her feet and holds one hand down to him. He takes that offered hand out of habit, rising from a seated position having become, for him, an often challenging maneuver. But as he stands, he feels pretty spry for an eighty-seven-year-old cancer victim, full of pills and booze. To say nothing of being frozen stiff. Lucy nods in a way to direct his attention to the chaise lounge. Greg is there, sprawled on the chair, coat open, lifeless eyes turned to the stars.
"Well, I'll be damned," he whispers.

There are many factors that compound the difficulty of providing some kind of verifiable proof that the Astral projection really took place within the physical realm (see maps of the Astral).
This inability to control destination has been and still remains the chief barrier to the production of consistency and repeatability.
In the following quote from the same chapter, Monroe clearly states his belief that a large scale validation of OBEs could be performed is more people joined.
But again, the difficulty of bringing back physically verifiable data is noted.
Time away, forty-two minutes. Comment: Through a check by phone, I have located this family at the address which the man gave me. Would it be appropriate to visit them physically on some pretext?
From this, it can be seen that a much more extensive and organized effort would be required for massive validation of Second Body activities in Locale I. One subject and several assorted scientists and psychiatrists are not enough. Also, it can be noted that unexpected visits to unprepared persons can't be helped at this stage of control. Perhaps much could be gained if such people could be interviewed as to what they saw and felt at the time of the intrusion. The difficulty lies in locating these people. It is the exception that enough data is obtained to identify the place visited, as in the above.
Visual impressions of the physical world as seen from the "Second Location" is also greatly impaired and registers in shadings of black and white with strong light and reflections playing tricks on the Astral observer.


On Thursday morning, June 29th, with its continuous rain of biblical proportions, RIC-Edinburgh members joined with the Edinburgh Campaign Against Poverty, We Are All Daniel Blake, the Scottish Unemployed Workers Network and Dundee Against Austerity to support the delegation of young women addressing a session of City of Edinburgh Council. Messages of support were also sent form Castlemilk Against Austerity and film-maker, Paul Laverty. In 2012, one of RIC-Edinburgh's first actions was to join the widely supported demonstration against the bedroom tax. This time, though, RIC's participation followed the talk given the week before by Lynn McCabe, at the 90 strong RIC-Edinburgh Assembly on Tuesday June 20th.
At this meeting, Lynn explained that the young women involved in the campaign to stop families being evicted because of the benefit cap were unable to attend the meeting tonight due to childcare difficulties. Lynn is a community worker in North Edinburgh and has been helping to support the campaign, however, she was speaking tonight in a personal capacity.
The campaign has identified 11 families with 42 children facing eviction from privately rented homes in North Edinburgh due to the Benefits Cap. Some have already been evicted and have been forced to live in appalling B & B's and hostels. The situation has been made worse due to the families being moved outwith their local community where they have support networks. They are also having to travel long distances to get children to and from school. When the families have been evicted from their homes, they must present as homeless and basically can only take what they can carry. Their belongings are collected on the day of their eviction and put into storage until they are allocated permanent accommodation (currently between 12 – 18 months). It costs £60 to access items from the storage containers.
The women have never been involved in a campaign before but felt they had no choice as their backs were against the wall. They have been supported by local activists from North Edinburgh and across the city. Their immediate demand is for Edinburgh Council to pay full DHP to completely cover rent to prevent any more families from losing their homes. They are also demanding an end to families being allocated Bed and Breakfast accommodation and asking for families to be housed in flats which meet acceptable standards in suitable areas as close to their former homes as possible. In the longer term they want the council to build more social housing, which would help to address the current housing crisis.
The campaign is also directed at the Scottish Government and Westminster. They want the Scottish Parliament to allocate sufficient funds to local authorities to cover DHP, as they were forced to do over the Bedroom Tax and they want Westminster to scrap the benefit cap.
To date, the women have lobbied local politicians, occupied their local housing office, held a demonstration in the city chambers, protested outside Ruth Davidson's constituency office and are planning a deputation at the Council Chambers on Thursday 29th June. They are looking for support from activists from across the city as they know that this issue is not confined to North Edinburgh.


Why are more and more parents turning to private tuition to support their child achieve? Everyone has a personal reason, of course.
If your child is struggling at school, and just can't get a handle on a weaker subject, private one to one tuition can help your child get to grips with a tricky topic fast.
Many children are introverts, and hate asking for help in class. Usually the fear of looking 'stupid' in front of peers can scupper them from sticking their hand up. Over time, struggling becomes the norm, followed by plummeting grades and student stress.
One snag is that if you went to school in the Dark Ages (!!), you'll know that many subjects are taught differently nowadays.
So if you don't feel confident teaching trigonometry, Science subjects or 19th century literature, a private tutor can help! Besides, most children prefer their parents to be parents – not teachers.
Some children feel lost when their teacher leaves – often finding it hard to transition to a new one.
Sometimes, too, teachers are so busy fire-fighting poor behaviour in class, that your child's problem gets inadvertently over-looked.
Quality time with a tutor can help your child re-engage with the subject again.
A private tutor will not only help your child work out why their grade slipped in the first place, but help them develop new strategies to ace it next time.
Finally, a good tutor will help your child believe in themselves more rather than feel such shame at failing. After all, learning from failure is the way we all learn in life.
Call Alison and the team if your child is struggling, if they need a boost to their grades, or you want your son or daughter to prepare for an entrance or mock exam.

BizTalk Server: Putting B2B to Work
BizTalk Server 2000 gets closer to B2B application integration.
By Robert J. Shimonski
Rising from the ashes of the now defunct Windows DNA platform, BizTalk Server 2000 is now the centerpiece of Microsoft's .NET platform. BizTalk Server has a purpose that Microsoft's product line has rarely stepped into: interoperability. This functionality enables BizTalk Server 2000 to perform seamless and transparent integration of heterogeneous applications over the Internet via XML, and can be scaled to fit medium- to large-sized enterprise networks with multiple business partners running B2B communications. Suppose you want your SAP /R3 ERP system to communicate with a PeopleSoft system over the Internet. Problem is, you may have to speak two separate specifications (like EDIFACT or X12). Worse still, have this translation take place over the Internet. Then, add the costs for the fleet of developers who must write code to translate one purchase order to another. BizTalk Server 2000 promises to solve these types of problems.
BizTalk Server 2000
Standard Edition, $4,999 per processor; Enterprise Edition, $24,999 per processor
www.microsoft.com/
biztalk/
BizTalk Server 2000 has two features that make it incredibly useful. First, Microsoft isn't known for conforming to standards, but keep standards in mind when you use this product. BizTalk is engineered around XML and XSLT and adheres to them closely.
Second, BizTalk comes with a suite of outstanding tools. The BizTalk Mapper (see Figure 1), for example, lets someone like me of an infrastructure bent connect disparate specifications (like two purchase orders). The Mapper lets you to map fields together with pre-written functions called "functoids," which help you build a not-so-simple XSLT Stylesheet with minimal effort. The functoids come from a functoid palette, but those who are technically savvy might want to use the scripting functoid to roll your own.
Figure 1. BizTalk Mapper, with the functoid palette. (Click image to view larger version.)
The BizTalk Mapper isn't the only gem. Other tools: the BizTalk Editor, which you can use for creating XDR schema creation and defining data structures; the BizTalk Orchestration designer, a graphical tool based on Visio 2000 that can be used to define business processes and create a workflow model from those processes. There are many other tools, but these are the coolest ones. BizTalk Server 2000 also supports secure document delivery using public-key encryption and digital signatures, for safely routing B2B documents over the Internet.
BizTalk also has a few drawbacks, such as the showstopper bugs and issues related to running this system in a production environment. Know your systems and tools well, and test your systems thoroughly before you go live. Remember that your BizTalk implementation will connect not only to your network, but to business partners—if you run into a problem with BizTalk Server, it may affect them too.
Another big drawback: price. An enterprise implementation can run close to $25,000 per CPU. Add SQL Server and the cost goes up. But there are also some hidden costs. Staff and training is necessary and costly, as are connectors and accelerators. Let's say you want to configure BizTalk Server 2000 with your SAP /R3 platform. Add $15,000 per CPU for those SAP adapters. These costs should be figured into your preliminary rollout plans.
I have one more complaint: How do you roll it out? The amount of information about this product is slim to none. There are lots of books, articles, and tutorials for using its tools, but not much out there explains how to actually implement and roll it out. A BizTalk rollout is just not that easy. Anytime you want to roll out an n-tier platform that needs to be routed, secured and built into a DMZ, you will need to map out your plans. The Microsoft Press books are a good source of information, but even better are the BizTalk Server help files. After that, I used good ol' trial and error. One other source of info is the tutorial, which you can find on the Microsoft Download Web site.
BizTalk Server 2002: What's Next?
According to Microsoft's Web site, BizTalk Server 2002 doesn't even exist yet. Despite this, details have leaked in a couple of recent BizTalk books. From these resources it's possible to put together a picture of the new BizTalk Server 2002 Enterprise Edition, which presumably will ship some time this year. Although I haven't managed to get my hands on a copy yet, here's a list of the features to expect:
Integration with Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM) and Microsoft Application Center.
Direct HTTP receive of documents, replacing the need to go through ASP pages with COM libraries.
The BizTalk SEED Wizard, which helps you quickly set up communication with a trading partner who also uses BizTalk.
Partial support for XSD schemas as well as XDR schemas.
XLANG schedule instance pooling for better performance and scalability.
BizTalk Server 2002 appears to be more of an incremental release, tidying up the current morass of Service Pack 1 and hotfixes, rather than a full-blown release. The integration with other server products will be particularly welcome at large BizTalk installations, and the SEED Wizard will ease the task of getting up and running (at least with trading partners who also use BizTalk). But watch for a major update—with a more compelling feature set and enhanced .NET support—to follow closely on the heels of this one.
—Mike Gunderloy
BizTalk Server 2000 is a great addition to your business, but a bit costly and you need to really make sure you have a business need for it, trained personnel to run and develop with it, and a solid infrastructure to place it within. Without this preplanning, the cost of your BizTalk implementation may far outweigh its benefits. You also need to make sure that the disparate systems that you're connecting with BizTalk are also added to the equation, not only with support but hidden costs. Training can only help you with a successful implementation, and setting up a BizTalk test lab is practically necessary. Remember, a dollar spent in forethought may be the best investment. Changing specifications after your system goes live could prove to be a devastating nightmare.
Lastly, visit the knowledge base frequently. There are many issues related to running this product as well as many hotfixes and service packs that are needed to help BizTalk function properly and to keep it secure. Microsoft products are generally in need of much love and attention from their administrators—BizTalk Server 2000 is no exception. Good luck!

COVID-19 Vaccination Mandate Raises Questions for Employers and Legal Scholars
Here's what you should know about how your company will be affected:
Biden announced on Sept. 9, 2021, that federal workers — including White House staff, federal agencies, and armed services — must take the COVID-19 vaccine. They cannot opt out and instead receive weekly tests. Biden also said anyone who wants to work with the federal government must get vaccinated, including health care workers at facilities receiving federal funding through Medicaid and Medicare.
The Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs, the Indian Health Service, and the National Institute of Health have announced they will complete their previously announced mandate to require that the over 2.5 million employees under their jurisdictions get vaccinated.
The Biden mandate also requires businesses with 100 or more employees to ensure all employees get vaccinated or get tested if unvaccinated once a week. The delta variant of the coronavirus has led to a spike in hospitalizations and deaths — mostly in unvaccinated populations — and the new directives are part of Biden's plan responding to the surge. Even though the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that more than 63% of Americans have received at least one COVID-19 dose, vaccination rates have slowed. About 54.5% of the U.S. population is now fully vaccinated.
The Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration is in charge of
the rule. The rule is expected to affect 80 million workers in the private sector; 50,000 health care providers; and 17 million health care workers. Although the vaccination rules have not been finalized, the following conditions will be mandated:
Religious and medical exemptions are allowed.
OSHA will require large employers to provide paid time off for workers to get vaccinated.
Companies failing to comply will face penalties up to $14,000 per violation. Employees who refuse to get vaccinated can be fired.
The Labor Department's Occupational Safety and Health Administration will enforce the fine.
Individual federal workers and contractors who do not comply will go through agency- based counseling and disciplinary action and can be fired for refusing the vaccine without a proper exemption.
The Biden administration is also pursuing a booster vaccine regimen for those who have already received shots.
Biden's sweeping employee vaccine mandate does not affect everyone. These groups are exempted:
Employees who work for companies with 99 or fewer employees.
Members of Congress, employees who work for Congress or employees in the federal
court system.
Illegal immigrants crossing the border. About 30% of immigrants held at federal detention facilities are refusing to be vaccinated and they have the option to refuse. Border Patrol estimates more than 18% of migrant families who recently crossed the border tested positive for COVID before being released.
Those in Support
Joe Biden stressed that getting the vaccination is not about "freedom or personal choice."
"It's about protecting yourself and those around you, the people you work with, the people you care about, the people you love. My job as president is to protect all Americans," he said. Many Americans — including employers, agree. Companies such as United Airlines, Tyson Foods, Disney, and Fox News have already implemented vaccine mandates.
Supporters say that not only are vaccine mandates needed to keep the U.S. population safe, but they also are constitutional. Erwin Chemerinsky, Dean of Berkeley Law School, and constitutional law professor said there is no problem with requiring people be vaccinated. He said the issue was settled by the Supreme Court in 1905 in the Jacobson v. Massachusetts case. The court's decision raised questions about the power of state government to protect the public's health and the Constitution's protection of personal liberty.
There is an OSHA Mandate that requires employers with more than 100 employees to provide paid time off for workers to get vaccinated or to recover if they suffer reactions post-vaccination. Sid Shapiro, OSHA expert and Wake Forest University Law Professor, said the issue is whether the government has the authority under some statute to order employers to require vaccination or weekly testing. If that authority does exist, Shapiro said it would be constitutional because Congress regulates interstate commerce.
Those Opposed
Not everyone believes the federal government has the right to mandate the vaccinations. Soon after Biden announced his plans, the hashtag #DoNotComply spread on Twitter.
Earlier this year, Biden's White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said implementing a vaccine mandate is not the role of the federal government. Her remark caused many to question the constitutionality of the mandate. Newsweek has reported that President Biden himself rejected the idea of mandatory vaccines on December 4, 2020, while speaking in Wilmington, DE, following his remarks on the November 2020 jobs report.
Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) called it "unconstitutional" and "an authoritarian power grab" in a statement released immediately after Biden's speech. She added that the American people should have the freedom to make the best decisions for their families rather than accepting forced illegal mandates from a power-hungry government.
Several Republican states, all in favor of the vaccination, are pushing back against mask and vaccination mandates as unconstitutional. Alabama and Arizona are filing lawsuits to lift the Biden mandate.
Some companies are pushing back on the mandate as an assault on personal liberty. Company representatives for the conservative Daily Wire have publicly supported the vaccine but have threatened legal action against the mandate.
Others wonder about the soundness of Biden's reasoning. Biden has claimed that the unvaccinated need to get vaccinated to protect the vaccinated, while at the same time saying the vaccinated are protected. Notably, Congress itself is exempted from complying with Biden's Executive Order due to separation powers in the government, but Biden's order does impact employees of the Executive Branch.

Rhona Hasen says she didn?t kill her husband. The police say otherwise.
Still, Sheriff?s Deputy Suzie Jensen wants to believe her. Yet her efforts to investigate the murder go awry when Ro skips bail and Grace deHaviland-Columbus, Ohio?s top bounty hunter and Suzie?s best friend-takes the case.
Now pitted against her best friend in a race against time and with a deadly street gang out for blood, can Grace unravel the mystery of Rhona?s husband?s death in time to stop more murders-like Suzie Jensen?s and her own.

2021 Peace Corps Writers' Marian Haley Beil Award for Best Book Review to Rich Wandschneider (Turkey) for AN INDIAN AMONG LOS INDIGENAS by Ursula Pike

Marian Beil
The Peace Corps Writers' Best Book Review Award is named in honor of Marian Haley Beil (Ethiopia 1962-64), co-founder and publisher since 1989 of the Peace Corps Writers newsletter, website, and book imprint. Following her tour of service, Marian worked for 4 years in the Office of Reports and Special Studies at Peace Corps Headquarters. She founded the Ethiopia & Eritrea RPCV group in 1991, and later co-founded Rochester RPCVs.
Rich's Review
Rich Wandschneider
My two-year Peace Corps experience ended with a 20-kilometer minivan trip from our Turkish-Kurdish village to the train station in the city of Diyarbakir, in southeastern Turkey. When my village partner Barb and I got to the platform with our bags and boxes, other minivans showed up with a dozen or more of our village friends. The picture of that leaving and the faces and dress of some of those villagers have been fixed in my mind for 54 years. Ursula Pike's new Peace Corps memoir, An Indian among los Indigenas, brought 1967 rushing back.
There are many important things about this book, but let me tick off three: one, Ursula is a fine writer, with a fine eye for people and places in Bolivia, and an ear for the sounds of languages, buses, and silence; two, she is deeply reflective of the critical tensions of the cross-cultural experience and the mission to serve; and three, Ursula is indigenous herself, an enrolled member of the Karuk Tribe of Northern California who grew up an "urban Indian," largely, it seems, in Portland Oregon. This last fact, referred to frequently with stories of visits to tribal relatives still living and speaking Karuk lives, and pan-Indian student organizations and urban powwows, is what makes her descriptions of cross-cultural experiences and wrestling with Western notions of "development" and the Peace Corps mission compelling and new. We have not heard much from Indian, Asian, and Black American Volunteers; hopefully this book will throw open the doors.
"In Bolivia," she writes, "the Andes Mountains broke into two separate ranges and continued bumping along South America into Chile and Argentina . . .. Roads were built around the treeless steep mountains because there was no going over them. In Potosi, the high altitude bone-chilling city whose silver deposits inspired the hot greed of Spaniards . . .."
How many of us have been struck by the physical beauties and historical clashes that had shaped the countries we found ourselves in? How many of us thought, like Ursula, about the difference between tourists and travelers: "Tourists ordered frozen blue drinks from the hotel bar. Travelers, by contrast, rode buses without shocks for fifty cents while suppressing their explosive diarrhea."
How many of us thought about our roles as Westerners and our ideas of "development" — and wondered if we were doing the right thing, or wondered if we were promoting a Western agenda that benefited our own country more than it did the people we came to serve? Or worried that we were choosing sides in internal disputes over "progress"? In the end, did we think enough about gifts and givers and the notion of "charity"?
Ursula Pike thinks about all of these things, with the added sensibility of someone who grew up with a single Indian mom who had made her own hard-scrabble way to education and Forest Service and Bureau of Indian Affairs jobs where white men were in charge. She knows what it is to be brown and poor in America, to silently count color and gender in a new room, as she does on the first day of Peace Corps training. She remembers the tiered systems of race, wealth, and education in America, of going to school at an unnamed state college, dreaming of the Peace Corps, waiting and wondering, being told she was not qualified, and finally getting in because she was an American Indian. A Peace Corps recruiter told her that!
Ursula knows things that most white middle-class American Peace Corps Volunteers don't know. She's not surprised that indigenous Bolivians live in cities and wear jeans and T-shirts; Indians in America do too. But she also realizes that she is Indian but not Bolivian, rich and privileged by most Bolivian standards while still poor and a minority in her own country, in the land she will return to.
There are some nice descriptions of "successful" Volunteers who mount large and dramatic projects — Daniel, who helps villagers dig wells and build a school with a basketball court. We hear about some of her own work, but it is primarily about people and relationships, not about monuments and successful programs. And always there is the questioning — about colonialism and development, missionaries and charity, indigenous and modern. She takes notice of and pride in her hosts' maintaining Quechua and other native languages, and she empathizes with their struggles with traditional and modern, education and survival.
This book is also brutally honest about Volunteers and sex, Volunteers and alcohol and drugs. Cheap cocaine, male Volunteers' competition for Bolivian women's sexual favors, and the difficult gender roles and aspirations of Bolivians themselves become very personal for Ursula Pike. There are times in the book when I wanted to read on but feared doing so.
This first book is brief, only 230 pages, but it is an important book. I was pleased in the introduction to see that her "dog-eared copy" of Moritz Thomsen's Living Poor is one of a few travel books she clung to as she wrote her own. I remember reading parts of that book in the Peace Corps Volunteer magazine when I was in my village, remember Moritz calculating how many minutes an Ecuadorian clearing land could work on one banana. Living Poor has always been my favorite Peace Corps book, and my touchstone book on poverty and the human condition. An Indian among los Indigenes will go on the shelf beside it. And I will wait for more.
That's one way to wrap up this review. Here's another that I am sure will ring like a bell for many in Peace Corps land:
"The girls hugged me and asked me why I had to leave. Despite whatever I did or didn't do, they loved me and wanted me to stay. I had never imagined it would be this difficult to leave."
Rich Wandschneider (Turkey 1965-67) went to Oregon 50 years ago, after five years as a Peace Corps Volunteer (rural CD) and staff member. His first work was for the Extension Service as a "community development" worker. Launching a bookstore in 1976 led him to meet Alvin Josephy. Josephy had written the big book on the Nez Perce, and was a leading historian of and advocate for American Indians.
With Josephy's help, in 1988 Rich launched Fishtrap, a non-profit promoting writers and writing in the West, and for 20 years he brought scores of writers to the Wallowa. Rich now heads the "Josephy Library of Western History and Culture" in Western Oregon. He also writes a blog associated with the books, Indians, history and culture of American Indians.
Thanks you Rich–an outstanding review about a book that deserves a broad audience–Ursula brings an important perspective to the plight of the Indigenous communities. I appreciated your reference to "Living Poor" which I too include as a touchstone book and Moritz my patron saint of authors. Cheers, Mark
Evelyn LaTorre, Peru '64-'66 says:
An entertaining review that really makes one want to read all the books mentioned–and get to know the author.
EDWARD MYCUE says:
In the mid-1960 at the Dept of Health, Welfare, and Education (then named), I worked with Carl Sykes a returned Peace Corps volunteer in Turkey and met many of his friends from there and learned much about the old and current (then) ways both folk and modern. Over the drifting years since then I lost sight of him. I had been in the Ghana One cohort in 1961 (et'd with my dad's death.
But always in these intervening decades prick up my ears about what is happening and being said about Turkey, an almost magical place in my reveries. Especially in these recent years I often think "Carl would know" and long backward for enduring connections.
My sister Agnes ("Cookie") and her prof husband in Claremont CA Michael McGaha who have been friends of Orhan Pamuk keep me informed somewhat. But Carl would be my go-to guy for sure expecially for the guys and gals on the streets level.

Somewhere with Cécilia Andrews
Skip to blog sidebar navigations
Cécilia Andrews, Somewhere, 2021
In conversation with Cécilia Andrews — Working together during the pandemic, the gallery and Cécilia connected from afar, San Francisco and Paris respectively, surrounding the exhibition, 'Cécilia Andrews: Indivisible Particles,' presented in the spring of 2021. Here, we have distilled our conversations to feature a selection of Cécilia's answers, comprised of reflections on her artistic trajectory—work, motivation, and experiences—from Chile to France, and somewhere in between.
My childhood in Chile in the 1970s-80s was beautiful despite the political and social context. I grew up with a lot of freedom and closeness to nature. Early on, I understood that we were living in a special moment in the history of Chile, and that the life we shared with our friends was very politically engaged. We lived in a community of leftist political activists, intellectuals, and artists. Together and with our families, we built this unique place, created by Fernando Castillo Velasco (winner of the National Prize for Architecture). There were about 21 houses in a large lot where we built a park, planted fruit trees, created games and year-end theater shows. I loved taking part in these activities.
Because we were such a strong and friendly community, I lived at home but also stayed in others' houses. It was very safe. We were a bunch of kids spending our time playing with animals and making huts in the park. This was a place that also brought protection to several leftists who were sought by the military dictatorship of Pinochet, those who had fled and were in need of refuge. Unfortunately, some of them were caught and never found again, referred to as the "detained-disappeared."
In summer, we often spent our holidays in Southern Chile with my father's family, my grandmother, uncles, and aunts who loved to spoil us. It was during these long holidays in Patagonia that I began to draw nature and became amazed by its beauty, its presence, and its silence. Throughout these times I had such strong dreams there that I couldn't wait to go back the following year. These moments have never left me, and despite the tragic situation of oppression in which I grew up, it was with nature that I developed great sensitivity and freedom. Surely I found a refuge in nature, too. Today I consider myself very fortunate to have lived this somewhat wild childhood.
My adolescence was a little more difficult. The political situation and the protest environment I grew up in marked my entire youth. In the 17 years of military dictatorship I lived under, I became aware of the cruelty and the tragedy of life under an oppressive regime. Once I graduated from the Fine Arts School, it was impossible for me to stay in Chile without getting involved artistically in a political process. I really wanted to focus on other, more universal issues, such as spirituality, origins, and nature.
I was fascinated by European artists such as Leonardo da Vinci, Paul Klee, Odilon Redon, Henri Matisse, Camille Claudel, Henry Moore, Louise Bourgeois, and a thousand others, and I dreamed of seeing their works up close. I got married very young, and once I had my diploma in my pocket (my husband was already working as an architect), we sold all our wedding gifts so we could pay for two plane tickets to settle in Paris-where the first thing I did was to take lessons with Xavier de Mirbeck on glass blowing, a technique totally unknown in Chile.
Cécilia Andrews, Beyond the Face 3, 2021
This bond (between my life in Chile and France) is interesting. On the one hand, my Chilean culture has given me a greater awareness of the beauty of nature and made me aware of the different fates that human beings have. On the other hand, it was in France that it seemed obvious that I would become an artist, to keep my artistic freedom and realize the importance that culture has in my life.
Because of Chile's history with earthquakes, the relationship of the country towards its history is also very different. Not too many testimonies remain standing, and the government does not have a conservation policy. Also, society is very traditional, and artistic events are not as free and varied. In Europe, it is the opposite. Going to the Louvre, visiting Musée d'Orsay was a shock to me. During my first years in France, I learned more than during all my student years of fine arts in Chile, just by visiting museums and galleries, by going to libraries-and this is still ongoing today.
There are periods when I work solely from my dreams: dreams where I paint, I make paintings, I am in a creative process. From those dreams, I try to draw inspiration from these forms and re-interpret them. Several artists have been inspired by Buddhist philosophy, such as Odilon Redon and Constantin Brâncuși. I sometimes feel identified with this artistic-spiritual interpretation without having looked for it and without wanting to just stop there. Other philosophies also interest me, for example Minimalism with its purified style, even if this movement is sometimes too "mathematical" for me. Symbolism, Arte Povera, and the Italian Transavantgarde also interest me a lot.
Cécilia Andrews, S/T, 2021
A friend who worked at a school for the deaf and mute gave me a Geo magazine, which is a kind of French National Geographic, in Braille. She knew that I like to mix different paper textures of all kinds in my collages. To my surprise, the magazine had no pictures! There were just blank pages full of small raised dots. That made me think, and I started to wonder how the visually impaired described the world, and with what other senses they were able to perceive it. In the case of Braille, it is touch, through tactile writing which allows access to information and learning.
I find that there is a big paradox in being sighted but not being able to read a message intended for the blind. I am very interested in the question of whether as sighted people we are really able to see or understand what surrounds us. The Valentin Haüy Foundation gave me as a donation an old edition of the Larousse encyclopedia in Braille, and since then I have been working on a portrait project made with this paper which symbolizes both our own blindness to meet others and the importance of getting closer to better understand one another.
The complexity of the contrasts has often intrigued me, I find that they often give a certain balance to life. It is a bit like the principle of Yin-Yang or the dual nature of things. The opposing forces are often complementary and we are full of contradictions. I try, maybe more or less unconsciously, to balance these opposing forces in my work. Often I play with rustic, common, and opaque materials like plaster and recycled old paper, in contrast to very smooth and bright materials like resin, glass, bronze, or metallic paper. All this is part of a search for balance.
Nature is really a starting point for me and my artistic reflections, it remains my greatest inspiration, beauty being what moves me the most. Have you ever seen a sunset, exhausted after a long walk in the mountains? Or walked in the forest lulled by the sound of tree branches and the wind? These are simple and primitive emotions that many artists seek to translate into their works. Paul Klee said, "The artist is human; himself nature; part of nature within natural space." I love this idea.
The oval shape has been on my mind for years. I don't deliberately seek it out, it just pops up in front of my eyes in a purely intuitive way. The egg or the oval has a very broad symbolism in almost all cultures. For me, it represents a sacred creative space where nature, spirituality, abstraction, and figuration can converge. This shape makes me dream. Sometimes it is a plant's grain. Sometimes it is a face. The universes and transformations that come from an oval shape can be infinite, and it's fun to dive into all these variants. The oval shape has become the first letter of the alphabet for me, because it links my ideas and becomes the thread of a feeling that I seek to explore in this defined space.

More info on Nematode
Nematode: Map
The "roundworms" or "nematodes" (phylum Nematoda) are the most diverse phylum of pseudocoelomates, and one of the most diverse of all animals. Nematode species are very difficult to distinguish; over 80,000 have been described, of which over 15,000 are parasitic. It has been estimated that the total number of described and undescribed roundworms might be more than 500,000. Unlike cnidarians or flatworms, roundworms have a digestive system that is like a tube at both ends.
Nematodes have successfully adapted to nearly every ecological niche from marine to fresh water, from the polar regions to the tropics, as well as the highest to the lowest of elevations. They are ubiquitous in freshwater, marine, and terrestrial environments, where they often outnumber other animals in both individual and species counts, and are found in the locations as diverse as Antarctica and oceanic trenches. They represent, for example, 90% of all life on the seafloor of the Earth. Their many parasitic forms include pathogens in most plants and animals (including humans.) Some nematodes can undergo cryptobiosis.
Taxonomy and systematics
Eophasma jurasicum, an extinct nematode
The group was originally defined by Karl Rudolphi in 1808 under the name Nematoidea, from Ancient Greek νῆμα (nêma, nêmatos, 'thread') and -eiδἠς (-eidēs, 'like'). The vernacular word "nematode" is a corruption of this taxon, reclassified as family Nematodes by Burmeister in 1837 and ordo Nematoda by K. M. Diesing in 1861.
At the origin, the taxon Nematoidea applied to both roundworms and horsehair worms. Along with Acanthocephala, Trematoda and Cestoidea, it formed the group Entozoa. The first differentiation of roundworms from horsehair worms, though erroneous, is due to von Siebold (1843) with orders Nematoidea and Gordiacei (Gordiacea). They were classed along with Acanthocephala in the new phylum Nemathelminthes (today obsolete) by Gegenbaur (1859). Then the taxon Nematoidea has been promoted to the rank of phylum by Ray Lankester (1877) including the family Gordiidae (horsehair worms). In 1919, Nathan Cobb proposed that roundworms should be recognized alone as a phylum. He argued that they should be called nema(s) in English rather than "nematodes" and defined the taxon Nemates (Latin plural of nema). For ITIS, the taxon Nematoda is invalid.Since Cobb was the first to exclude all but nematodes from the group, the valid taxon should be Nemates Cobb 1919 or Nemata Cobb 1919.
The relationships of the nematodes and their close relatives among the protostomian Metazoa are unresolved. Traditionally, they were held to be a lineage of their own, but in the 1990s it was proposed that they form a clade together with moulting animals such as arthropods. This group has been named Ecdysozoa. However, the monophyly of the Ecdysozoa was never unequivocally accepted: while most researchers consider at least the placement of arthropods as more distant relatives of annelids — with which they were formerly united — to be warranted, the presumed close relationships of the nematodes and relatives with the arthropods has been a major point of contention.
Even though the amount of data since accumulated in regard to this problem is staggering, the situation seems if anything less clear these days. DNA sequence data, initially strongly supporting the Ecdysozoa hypothesis, has become rather equivocal on ecdysozoan monophyly, and is simply unable to refute either a close or a more distant relationship between the arthropod and nematode lineages. That the roundworms have a large number of peculiar apomorphies and in many cases a parasitic lifestyle confounds morphological analyses. Genetic analyses of roundworms suggest that — as is also indicated by their unique morphological features — the group has been under intense selective pressure during its early radiation, resulting apparently in accelerated rates of both morphological and molecular evolution. Furthermore, no distinctive apomorphies of Ecdysozoa are known; even moulting has recently been confirmed to occur outside the presumed clade.
Conversely, the identity of the closest living relatives of the Nematoda has always been considered to be well resolved. Morphological characters and molecular phylogenies agree with placement of the roundworms as sister taxon to the parasitic horsehair worms (Nematomorpha); together they make up the Nematoida. Together with the Scalidophora (formerly Cephalorhyncha), the Nematoida form the Introverta. It is entirely unclear whether the Introverta are, in turn, the closest living relatives of the enigmatic Gastrotricha; if so, they are considered a clade Cycloneuralia, but there is much disagreement both between and among the available morphological and molecular data. The Cycloneuralia or the Introverta — depending on the validity of the former — are often ranked as a superphylum.
Nematode systematics
Due to the lack of knowledge regarding many nematodes, their systematics is contentious. Traditionally, they are divided into two class, the Adenophorea and the Secernentea, and initial DNA sequence studies suggested the existence of five clades:
Dorylaimia
Enoplia
Spirurina
Tylenchina
Rhabditina
As it seems, the Secernentea are indeed a natural group of closest relatives. But the "Adenophorea" appear to be a paraphyletic assemblage of roundworms simply retaining a good number of ancestral traits. The Enoplia do not seem to be monophyletic either but to contain two distinct lineages. The old group "Chromadoria" seem to be another paraphyletic assemblage, with the Monhysterida representing a very ancient minor group of nematodes. Among the Secernentea, the Diplogasteria may need to be united with the Rhabditia. while the Tylenchia might be paraphyletic with the Rhabditia.
The understanding of roundworm systematics and phylogeny as of 2002 is summarised below:
Phylum Nematoda
Basal order Monhysterida
Basal subclass/Class Enoplia
Basal subclass/Class Dorylaimia
Class Secernentea
Subclass Diplogasteria (disputed)
Subclass Rhabditia (paraphyletic?)
Subclass Spiruria
Subclass Tylenchia (disputed)
"Chromadoria" assemblage
Reproduction is usually sexual. Males are usually smaller than females (often much smaller) and often have a characteristically bent tail for holding the female for copulation. During copulation, one or more chitinized spicules move out of the cloaca and are inserted into genital pore of the female. Amoeboid sperm crawl along the spicule into the female worm. Nematode sperm is thought to be the only eukaryotic cell without the globular protein G-actin.
Eggs may be embryonated or unembryonated when passed by the female, meaning that their fertilized eggs may not yet be developed. In free-living roundworms, the eggs hatch into larva, which eventually grow into adults; in parasitic roundworms, the life cycle is often much more complicated.
Nematodes as a whole possess a wide range of modes of reproduction. Some nematodes, specifically Heterorhabditis spp., undergo a process called endotokia matricida: intrauterine birth causing maternal death. Some nematodes, like other animals (for example segmented worms), are hermaphroditic. The hermaphroditic nematode keeps its self-fertilized eggs inside its uterus until they hatch. The juvenile nematodes will then ingest the parent nematode. This process is significantly promoted in environments with a low or reducing food supply. The nematode model species Caenorhabditis elegans and C. briggsae exhibit androdioecy, which is very rare among animals. The single genus Meloidogyne (root-knot nematodes) exhibit a range of reproductive modes including sexuality (amphimixis), facultative sexuality, meiotic parthenogenesis (automixis) and mitotic parthenogenesis (apomixis).
Free-living species
In free-living species, development usually consists of four molts of the cuticle during growth. Different species feed on materials as varied as algae, fungi, small animals, fecal matter, dead organisms and living tissues. Free-living marine nematodes are important and abundant members of the meiobenthos. They play an important role in the decomposition process, aid in recycling of nutrients in marine environments and are sensitive to changes in the environment caused by pollution. One roundworm of note is Caenorhabditis elegans, which lives in the soil and has found much use as a model organism. C. elegans has had its entire genome sequenced, as well as the developmental fate of every cell determined, and every neuron mapped.
Parasitic species
Nematodes commonly parasitic on humans include ascarids (Ascaris), filarids, hookworms, pinworms (Enterobius) and whipworms (Trichuris trichiura). The species Trichinella spiralis, commonly known as the trichina worm, occurs in rats, pigs, and humans, and is responsible for the disease trichinosis. Baylisascaris usually infests wild animals but can be deadly to humans as well. Dirofilaria immitus are Heartworms known for causing Heartworm disease by inhabiting the hearts, arteries, and lungs of dogs and some cats. Haemonchus contortus is one of the most abundant infectious agents in sheep around the world, causing great economic damage to sheep farms. In contrast, entomopathogenic nematodes parasitize insects and are considered by humans to be beneficial.
One form of nematode is entirely dependent upon fig wasps, which are the sole source of fig fertilization. They prey upon the wasps, riding them from the ripe fig of the wasp's birth to the fig flower of its death, where they kill the wasp, and their offspring await the birth of the next generation of wasps as the fig ripens.
Plant parasitic nematodes include several groups causing severe crop losses. The most common genera are Aphelenchoides (foliar nematodes), Ditylenchus, Globodera (potato cyst nematodes), Heterodera (soybean cyst nematodes), Longidorus, Meloidogyne (root-knot nematodes), Nacobbus, Pratylenchus (lesion nematodes), Trichodorus and Xiphinema (dagger nematodes). Several phytoparasitic nematode species cause histological damages to roots, including the formation of visible galls (e.g. by root-knot nematodes), which are useful characters for their diagnostic in the field. Some nematode species transmit plant viruses through their feeding activity on roots. One of them is Xiphinema index, vector of GFLV (Grapevine Fanleaf Virus), an important disease of grapes.
Other nematodes attack bark and forest trees. The most important representative of this group is Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, the pine wood nematode, present in Asia and America and recently discovered in Europe.
Nematodes in agriculture
Depending on the species, a nematode may be beneficial or detrimental to plant health.
From an agricultural perspective, there are two categories of nematode: predatory ones, which will kill garden pests like cutworms, and pest nematodes, like the root-knot nematode, which attack plants and those that act as vectors spreading plant viruses between crop plants.
Predatory nematodes can be bred by soaking a specific recipe of leaves and other detritus in water, in a dark, cool place, and can even be purchased as an organic form of pest control.
Rotations of plants with nematode resistant species or varieties is one means of managing parasitic nematode infestations. For example, marigolds, grown over one or more seasons (the effective is cumulative), can be used to control nematodes. Another is treatment with natural antagonists such as the fungus gliocladium roseum. Chitosan is a natural biocontrol that elicits plant defense responses to destroy parasitic cyst nematodes on roots of sobyean, corn, sugar beets, potatoes and tomatoes without harming beneficial nematodes in the soil.. Furthermore soil steaming is an efficient method to kill nematodes before planting crop.
CSIRO has found[720894] that there was 13- to 14-fold reduction of nematode population densities in plots having Indian mustard (Brassica juncea) green manure or seed meal in the soil.
Hundreds of Caenorhabditis elegans were featured in a research project on NASA's STS-107 space mission (which ended in the Space Shuttle Columbia Disaster).

Life In Fashion: An Interview With On-Air Fashion Expert & Fashion Stylist Cindy Conroy
It wasn't long ago that TV Personality and Fashion Stylist, Cindy Conroy, was working your average 9-5 job at a corporate office. Utterly unfulfilled and battling a yearning for fashion, Cindy made a powerful shift towards a career in styling, TV & film and public speaking. It steered her life in a completely different path.
Today, since embarking on her journey as a freelance stylist, Cindy has given life to a successful styling business that has garnered the attention of many, including Cosmopolitan, Medium, eTalk, ET Canada and more. In addition, as a successful entrepreneur and Canadian fashion icon, she's positioned herself at the forefront of fashion in Canada while continuously using her platform to promote messages of positivity, inclusivity and empowerment.
In this interview, we sat down exclusively with Cindy Conroy to talk about fashion, lifestyle and tips on making it in the industry.
Tell us a little bit about your journey. How did you jump start your career in fashion?
I started my fashion career in an unconventional way. Unlike most, I didn't intern at Elle, InStyle, FASHION or Harper's Bazaar. As a young girl, I reworked the clothes my mom bought me. I was scrounging together my allowance to buy accessories at Claire's. In university I learned accounting practices like FIFO (first-in, first-out) and LIFO (last in, first out). I would dream of buying gorgeous clothes and jewellery. Alas, I couldn't afford it. So instead I created "moments" with the wardrobe I had. I would cut my clothes to change the silhouette or wear midi skirts as dresses. The whole time I wished with every fibre that I could convert my "eye" for style into a job. I couldn't – at least that's what I thought. As a teenager, no one told me that jobs existed in fashion. I was always taught my career options were to go into business, be a doctor or a lawyer. So I chose business and worked my way up the corporate ladder.
"As a teenager, no one told me that jobs existed in fashion. I was always taught my career options were to go into business, be a doctor or a lawyer."
It worked until one day I realized I didn't want that life. I was successful in my corporate career, but I wanted something different. This wasn't me. Shortly after the idea to start my styling business emerged, I started building. Step by step I was determined to be a fashion stylist. Then all of a sudden I was on TV as an on-air Fashion Expert (pinch me) and chatting about self-love and style to audiences of 100+. The rest is history.
Having your own business, what would you say is a normal workday for you?
Every day is different. When I started styling I didn't know what to expect. I didn't have a sense of what my routine might look like. Slowly I realized that because I'm an entrepreneur I automatically have to juggle many things simultaneously. So even if I'm prepping to go on-air for a television segment with eTalk, I still have to email back and forth with 1:1 personal styling clients. I still have to handle non-sexy (but very important) accounting and admin tasks or advance conversations and bookings for my public speaking gigs. Then the next day is completely different! I might be on-set for half of the day styling a client for TV then running off to a personal styling session with a mom whose body has changed post kid(s). The next day I might be styling a bride and her bridal party while fully immersed in prep for a magazine editorial or photoshoot. It can be chaotic at times but ultimately very rewarding!
What is the process for creating a look? Where do you draw your fashion inspiration?
I don't have a formal process, but my ideas often percolate as I listen to great music. I listen to everything. Sometimes I'll put on an inspirational song (Kelly Clarkson's Invincible gives me a lot of strength) or play something timeless from an artist like the Queen of Disco, Donna Summer. Or if I'm out and about something might catch my eye, triggering my creative juices. It might be breathtaking interior design, floral arrangements or the storyline of a great movie. In addition, an idea might pop into my mind right before bed. As I try to fall asleep, the things I've done and seen that day inspire me. Magically the vision for the look
starts to form.
What are some staple pieces everyone should have in their wardrobe? Feel free to name more than one!
Wardrobe essentials are incredibly important. I'm of the mindset that you don't have to own a lot of clothes and accessories but you do need to have full breadth in your wardrobe. That's why I help people curate a balance between quality essentials and trendy pieces – without being fixated on quantity.
Countless times I hear people say: I need a new outfit for work, a wedding or a night out. Instead of frantically heading to the mall and picking up something that's "ok" (and often subpar), I recommend building a wardrobe in prep for all of life's needs. Have the perfect dress, suit and a mix of tops and pants/skirts that you can interchange to create dynamic outfits. Build out your shoe collection by starting with classics and neutrals. That way, when you get dressed your footwear enhances your outfit, rather than distracts. Have hats, ties and purses that are quality made and exciting. If you do all of this, you'll be stress-free the next time someone invites you out or your boss asks you to attend an important meeting.
"I recommend building a wardrobe in prep for all of life's needs. Have the perfect dress, suit and a mix of tops and pants/skirts that you can interchange to create dynamic outfits."
What are some designers or brands that you think highly of in terms of fashion, or that you've often thought of as muses, why?
Alexander McQueen inspires me on so many levels. The beauty. The pain. The style. It's a beautiful whirlwind.
What movements and achievements in the fashion and media industries are you most proud of?
I'm so happy that diversity is being embraced. From highlighting different body types, physical mobility to ethnicities. The fashion world and media are opening up to become more inclusive. They're creating a breeding ground for love and acceptance. That's amazing!
What would you like to see change in the fashion or media industries?
I'd love to see clothing recycling programs popping up everywhere. Just imagine if major retailers embraced this initiative – and as an incentive offered people discounts towards their next purchase. It would give you a convenient way to donate select (and great) wardrobe pieces that in return others could enjoy. Someone else's "pre-loved trash" could become another's treasure. Garments like trousers, skirts and tops (that you wear regularly, infrequently or never) could quickly spice up someone else's closet. Any tired clothing on its last leg; those textiles could be recycled for other business purposes.
Making an incremental shift like this could truly change the fashion industry for the better!
What personal impact do you want to make in the fashion industry?
I really strive to make a difference in fashion. To move the needle on how people define the industry. As part of that, I want to create a safe place for people – whether they're a model, designer, fashionista, MUA (Make-Up Artist), stylist, fashion novice etc. A place where everyone can feel supported and welcomed. Where we build each other up, rather than compete and tear each other down. There's space for all of us and the mentality should be: I'm awesome and so are you. How can we collaborate? How can we help each other? How can I support and welcome you into the fold?
What is your style philosophy?
My style philosophy is simple:
If it's not fabulous, I'm not wearing it! You can and should wear outfits multiple times. Don't forget rule #1!
Any last words of advice for those looking for a career in fashion and media?
Have a dreamy plan. Envision yourself in your ideal role. What does it look like? How does it make you feel? Who are you working with? Now hold onto that and start brainstorming how you'll get there. Then put the work in.

Q: JQuery .attr is not a function for sharepoint page I need to change the src of image using JQuery.

$("a.cbs-ItemLink img").attr('src','some value')

I have tried many things  but it is giving the same error that attr is not a function.
Updated Question:-
Can you help me how to do it for all li tags like

2E2
</div
`

A: If attr is not a function then $("a.cbs-ItemLink img") is not returning a DOM element
Check in F12 Console what $("a.cbs-ItemLink img") returns
Possible causes why it is not working inside the page:

*

*DOM element doesn't exist yet when the code executes

Vanilla JavaScript (no jQuery required)
(More typing, saves you the hassle of loading a 90 KB library)
check value in the F12 console
document.querySelector("a.cbs-ItemLink img")
Should return DOM element
assign value
document.querySelector("a.cbs-ItemLink img").src = 'some value';

Mission and strategic objectives
Structure of the Group
33rd Parent Zone to be built at the Municipal Mother and Child Centre in Piotrków Trybunalski
News date: March 5, 2020
The first Parent Zone to be opened this year will be in Piotrków Trybunalski! The Children's Ward, where more than a thousand young patients are hospitalized every year, has been selected for the "Parent Zone social programme. Budimex for Children". In just a few weeks, a space where young patients and their carers can spend time together will be created in the ward.
"Parent Zone. Budimex for Children" – a nationwide social project run and fully financed by Budimex SA which aims to create special zones in the children's wards of Polish hospitals. Friendly zones for parents and young patients. The results of scientific research show that the constant presence of a child's parent at the bedside during hospitalization gives a sense of security, reduces stress and shortens the hospitalization process by up to 30%, which significantly reduces the recovery time.
The Children's Ward of the Municipal Mother and Child Centre in Piotrków Trybunalski is the only one that provides full paediatric care and as well as all-day and 24-hour medical services for the inhabitants of the Piotrków Trybunalski Municipality.
"We know how important the Municipal Mother and Child Centre is for the local community. We want to ensure a comfortable stay in the Children's Ward for the children and their parents. Each Parent Zone is tailor-designed. The Zone created at the hospital in Piotrków Trybunalski will perfectly combine the hospital's expectations with the real needs of young patients and their carers," says Katarzyna Wójcik, coordinator of social programmes at Budimex.
The design work is currently underway. According to the preliminary assumptions, the existing common room, its corridor and partial kitchen will be converted into the Parent Zone.
Construction work will start as early as this month. The 33rd Parent Zone is scheduled to open in April, after Easter. As usual, volunteers from Budimex will participate in the final stage of the building work and help finish the rooms. The Zone opening ceremony will be attended by patients and their carers, hospital representatives, local authorities, media representatives and guests. Please check the Parent Zone profiles on social media to find the latest information about the programme.
The programme is implemented and fully financed by Budimex SA.
