Ptisana was one soup that was very high-calorie, but healthful, especially compared to other typical Roman cuisine. Based with barley; this was left to soak in cold water for 24 hours, Then chickpeas, lentils, peas were added.
Place the barley, leek, dill, and olive oil in a pan with 2 pints of water.
Bring to a boil, add the vinegar, and simmer gently for an hour.
Stir occasionally and check that there is sufficient water.
This soup is supposed to be very thick, so add water a little at a time.
Before serving, check that the soup is suitably seasoned with salt.


Well, much has happened since the first part of this series. I had intended to write more quickly, but found that my thoughts were scattered and that this, among other things, was rather distressing. One of the things that I must grasp to be able if there is a possibility of understanding Orthodoxy is their claim that scripture does not stand alone, and scripture was and always has been together with verbal teaching. I was taught that scripture stands on its own, is able to be understood and interpreted by individuals, and that nothing else is needed for instruction in the faith and in Christian living. That this is different from my personal experience never occurred to me. Also, it made it seem that scripture is written by men, while I have always understood that men wrote scripture as they were inspired (or breathed) directly from the mind of God. How, I was asked, do you think the early church had any notion of how to behave, how to have a service, how to live, since scripture had not been written (after what we term the "Old Testament")? Where did scripture come from, I was asked. Was scripture not the compilation of the history of the church and of letters written to the various churches? Were the apostles teaching prior to the written word? What determined that these letters and these gospels are inspired scripture among the many that were written?
The question is answered as it has always been. The church determined which letters and books were scripture and were inspired. I had never thought much about that, but in this context it really threw me. If men determined which books were scripture, is all of faith merely something determined by man? Was my faith merely a made up thing, a construct of man? I struggled with this, although my experience with God was never in doubt. How could I know in my innermost being that God is real, having spoken to him and heard from him, having seen the unexplained and having had his healing touch on me, and yet be wondering about scripture and the church? Unless you have been a person of faith, you may not understand the shaking that went on inside of me, the feeling of living in an earthquake.
I was at the time enchanted by some wonderful science documentaries, reading some books on physics and scientific history and preparing for some additional science classes in college, and enjoying the studies greatly. The math of it, even though I don't understand it all, seemed so beautiful, so magnificent and so clearly designed by a Creator. As I heard once again the scientific theory of the Big Bang and the explanation of it by a famous physicist, it struck me how this sounded like the creation story–from nothing something, from no time to time, from a formless earth, to seas forming, and on and on, until it seemed to make poetry of the Genesis story of creation, just as the Orthodox understanding of the creation story had been explained to me.
Additionally, I have some health challenges, one of which seems to bring out the inner snake oil salesman in every crowd, every nutritionist, every wacky theory and so many differing opinions from health people that it is confusing, so I tend to take the things presented to me and look for the scientific tests behind it, the facts, the proofs.
One day as I was thinking through the problem of scripture being inspired or man made, it occurred to me that there was no difference in this and scientific theory. How do we know that the earth is round? People used to believe it was flat! They used to believe that earth was the center of the universe. How do we know differently? We observed. We studied. Theories were written, equations formulated, tested and put up for peer-review. While the initial review of a round earth theory was ridiculed and rejected, continued review proved it to be true. The science didn't make it true, what was true was simply observed and then the observation was reviewed by others and the consensus was that, yes, the earth is round. Other scientific theories are presented the same way. Einstein didn't make the universe behave in a way it hadn't previously, he simply observed and developed a way to explain and quantify what was already there. The math was there, waiting to be discovered.
In the same way, God and his ways are not created by man, but observed, explained, and witnessed by man. The truth of those observations, explanations, witness testimony and understandings are then put to the test by others. Others who have made it their life to observe, explain, witness and understand God and his ways, and the ways of Christ and his Church, then discuss those things and come to a consensus.
The difference between what I feared was being said about scripture and what was being said is this: Scripture was written by men, inspired by God, and the understanding and approval of this as Scripture and truthful teaching has been tested and approved by the Church and her leaders, by those who witnessed and told of those events and truths, it is not simply made up by men. It is peer-reviewed, as it were.
With that struggle out of the way, I need to examine what the church teaches and what I believe, what those contrasts are and determine–is this the true New Testament Church? Are they what they claim to be?
So many hurting people and a faith tradition that I don't believe answers sufficiently the trials and troubles we face in this life. How is it that our expectations became so distant from the truth of scripture? I have had people tell me that God will step in, that he will heal, that he will change the circumstance, that he will lift us out of trouble. I have puzzled over that for years.
The Bible that I read says that Stephen was stoned, that sometimes a prophet was beaten, imprisoned, stoned, one was sawn in pieces. Most of the apostles were martyred, many of the first century Christians as well–Nero was known for using Christians as torches. Every one that I can think of who was mightily used of God led lives of suffering. Not everyone mentioned in Scripture, but the mighty ones.
How does this mesh with our belief that God is in the business of making our lives okay? Even when our theology disagrees with this belief, our internals are set (at least here in America) for rescue, earthly reward, etc. We buy into the beliefs that all we have to do is work hard, live cleanly, go to church, watch our tongues and try to clean up the behavior of society and our lives will go well. Our careers will flourish, our bank accounts increase and our later years will be easy.
We struggle when people have problems. We struggle when their children go astray, and we find all the reasons why, usually things that blame the parents and make us feel better because, since we are doing everything right, our children will not fall into the same things. We struggle when someone suffers from cancer, or when a friend becomes a young widow and we comfort with the lamest offerings we have–God means it for the best, and God has better things for you, or just look at what God will teach you! We don't suffer with them, we recoil from their trouble. It messes with our safety. If we acknowledge that these things aren't the result of their individual failings, or that they aren't some wonderful path they are on, then we acknowledge that we may have to suffer as well.
We turn from the family who is underemployed when they have to turn to social services for help. Well, they shouldn't have to go to social services for help. They should be taken care of by the church! The early church did just that. "And there were no needy persons among them." Read Acts 4.
The thing is, we were promised suffering. We were promised the difficult path. The Joel Osteen's of the world want you to believe that there is something wrong in that. They deny what scripture teaches and their words make me want to puke! Seriously. They are a vile distortion of scripture.
We are promised suffering. We are promised trials. Not, ohmygosh, I couldn't find a decent parking space at the mall today kind of trials, but real soul-wrenching, faith-stretching difficulties.
Some of us will have God step in and rearrange the circumstances. He provides some with miraculous healings, some with that tremendous job at just the right time. He provides those Lifetime Movie moments for some. But sometimes (and for me it seems more often than not) he does not intervene. God allows the bad thing. He allows the failures, the loss, the discouragement, the cruelty of others. He allows the loss of possession, the failure of the family or the church, the financial devastation, the job loss, the humiliation of government or charitable assistance. He allows the loss of a precious daughter, that special friend, the husband and provider. He allows a man to walk out on his wife for another woman or for a man. He allows a mother to walk out on her children. He allows parents to abuse their children and children to torment their parents. So very often he does not step in. What then?
If you are a reasonably serious student of scripture I think these things should not surprise us. We should not be surprised by trials of various description. We were promised them. We were promised that the testing of our faith would produce endurance. We were promised the endurance would complete the work. We are promised that we will suffer many things for Christ's sake.
That's not what we want. Heck, it's not what I want. So often I look at others and see God rescue them when he is not rescuing me and I wonder, "why?" It's not a mildly curious question, it is a gut-wrenching, depth-of-my-soul question.
And that's the key. I do not understand suffering. I can't explain it. I still prefer the miraculous saves. I know God could have stepped in and healed 18-year-old Alyssa even at the moment of her death. He did not. Why? I don't know. But I know my faith is tested through it.
My faith is not tested when God steps in and does the miraculous Lifetime Movie Moment save. It's joyous and I celebrate his goodness with everyone else, but God is good when he doesn't step in, just as he is when he does. God's love is no less when he elects to allow our suffering than when he elects to lift us out of it.
I need to remember this. My faith is useless unless it can deal with the bad things. It is useless to me and useless to others.
When Uncle Robb was dying of pancreatic cancer, he had been suffering for a long time, but really doing much better than I expected. I visited him one day in one of those moments where I just knew I was supposed to go right then. Things were falling apart. It was a cold snap and the window guys were there replacing the old, drafty windows. He seemed rattled. We were standing in his kitchen. The power snapped off in half of his house (I still don't understand this one) and it was the half with the furnace. At that moment, he crumpled. I don't know how I saw it, because his outward posture didn't change, but I saw it anyway. He said, "I've lost hope." I knew what he meant, and for a change I had the right words.
I reached out and wrapped my arms around him, after all, I knew he was dying from the moment I heard his diagnosis. Don't ask me how, but I felt that this time God wasn't stepping in. And there were signs along the way that told me to prepare for his death. Anyway, with my arms around him, I smiled and said, "You haven't lost hope. You've only lost hope for healing in this world. You still have every hope for healing in the next." Robb died fairly peacefully. He was in hospice around two weeks, and in that time was cheerful and sweet and unfailingly appreciative of everything people did to care for him. He was precious.
I miss him and may never stop missing him. I cannot explain his suffering away. I will not try to. I accept that this was an awful thing. Horrible. Terrible. Many things in life are. I have two friends my age and younger who are suffering from cancer. My neighbor back home is just finishing up her final round of chemo from this bout of cancer (it's her second.) Alyssa went home to be with the Lord a short time ago, and God has allowed us to lose our house. I cannot explain these things. I cannot explain away or put a happy face on the suffering that my friends are going through.
What I cling to and come back to is that God says he loves us. He says he is good. If I believe anything it is that he is who he says he is and that my understanding of that does not change it. If I need evidence, the cross should be all the evidence I need, but I am weak and sometimes (okay, usually) require more. God being God, there is no shortage of evidence of his might, his power, his glory and his love.
When I get messed up is when I expect God to step in and stop people from doing terrible things to each other. I get messed up when I assume that we are supposed to live a financially successful, disease-free and trouble-free life, or that because God can do something means that he is required to do it–for me.
Let me never try to encourage someone by telling them that God will rescue them. From experience I know that God can and sometimes does rescue us. From experience I also know that sometimes he does not. May I never tell someone that they just need to believe, as if their faith is the issue, not God's will. When I give false promises, when I tell people that, I am stealing the faith and hope that is real. I deny the truth of scripture.
I hear such nonsense and I want to spit. Ptuey! I was once told that our car breaking down was not "the abundant life that God promised" and that if I had faith it would not happen. "Don't you believe God loves you?" the prayer line lady asked. I thought of Stephen at that moment. I mean gimme a break. Was Stephen stoned because of a lack of faith? Was it because God did not love him enough? Was Jesus crucified because he wasn't grasping hold of the abundant life? Or is that faith sad and weak and useless for the reality of life?
Your life and my life will have trials. God may miraculously carry you out of yours. Excellent! God may not. Praise him anyway. He is worthy of praise, not just because of what he does for us day by day, but because of who he is! God may part the Red Sea, or dry the river Jordan, or he may hold us in the midst of the flood. He may rescue us or walk with us through the valley of the shadow of death. He may heal or he may not. Nevertheless, not my will, but his. It was good enough for Jesus.

First and foremost, Happy Friday!!!
This weekend couldn't get here quick enough.
I took a few days off earlier this week but it turns out that I don't know how to take a relaxing vacation.
I think that's something I will never really understand.
To kick off the weekend, lets have a look at a few things that have recently caught my eye.
Does this not say HAPPY FRIDAY!!!
I've never come into a margarita that I said no to.
The color scheme here is unreal.
I am dying for this blanket.
It would be perfect for the beach.
Perfect thrown on the back of a sofa.


himself, working on a terrible TV series adaptation of a good British comedy series that's airing in this country on a network run by a president "who lies…every step of the way — a broadcast network television president," Showtime president David Nevins clarified, as he introduced the cast and creators to TV critics at Winter TV Press Tour 2014.
LeBlanc was asked if any of the storylines of Pretend LeBlanc were taken from his own life.
"There was a stalker in London," offered creator Jeffrey Klarik.
"There was a stalker. I did not sleep with her…She was cute is all," LeBlanc jumped in.
Klarik and partner David Crane said they continue to get lots of stories based on real experiences of industry friends. Klarik told a story about a female friend of Indian heritage who pitched a network a series about her being raised in the U.S. by her Indian mother, and execs at a network that said they loved it, only they'd like her to lose her mom, and then they asked her to make her character black instead of Indian. Ultimately, it became a show "about three black guys raising a baby," Klarik said.
Klarik said he once did a pilot about a girls boarding school and got a note from a network exec asking if they could see one scene in which the girls were all in their nighties."Fourteen years old," Klarik added.
Critics were charmed that Episode 5 of this season's Episodes deals with the cast of Pucks coming to talk about their comedy series at a TCA-like event. "What took you so long?" asked one critic, adding, "It's dead on accurate, I'm afraid," and wondering if they'd gone back and looked at transcripts of press tours past for material. "No, we live with them in our heads," shuddered Crane.
Another critic wanted to know what characteristics of actual industry execs got used to create Episodes network suits, specifically mentioning the hugginess of Warner Bros. TV Group president Peter Roth. "I worked for a guy who kept a gun in his drawer…and all the curtains closed," Klarik offered. At one meeting the exec "put his head in my lap and cried," Klarik said. " We're not that creative," he acknowledged of the show's quirky industry characters.

Week 16: Happy Football Holidays
What would Christmas be without NFL picks? Don't worry, The King is here to deliver the goods.
By Cody Rivera@codyrivera23 Dec 22, 2017, 2:00pm EST
Share All sharing options for: Week 16: Happy Football Holidays
Photo by Winslow Townson/Getty Images
Merry Christmas, everyone.
It's one of those special years when Christmas Eve falls on an NFL Sunday, which might be one of the best Christmas gifts ever. What could be better than an entire day of watching football followed by opening presents? Throw in a few NBA games here and there and it's the ultimate package. Sports, quality time with family, sports, celebrating the miracle of Christmas, sports, and then a little more sports. Greatest Christmas ever? I think so.
Anyway, since it's a busy week, I'll cut right to the chase. Time to get in the holiday spirit by making some picks for Week 16 …
(Last week's record: 9-6)
RAVENS (-13.5) over Colts
I really tried to get behind Jacoby Brissett this year (even though I passionately despise the Colts) since he is a former Patriot. He hasn't been terrible this year, throwing for 2,769 yards with 11 touchdowns and seven interceptions. Despite Brissett's efforts, the injury-plagued Colts have been an epic disaster. At 3-11 and heading into Baltimore – a team desperately trying to snag a wild spot in the AFC – I could definitely see them losing by two touchdowns.
(Side note: if the Colts can get Andrew Luck back next year, maybe they can get back to being a .500 team.)
Vikings (-9) over PACKERS
The heavily anticipated Return of Aaron Rodgers Parade didn't last very long. Now with the Packers officially knocked out of playoff contention, Green Bay fans won't see him again until next season. Two more meaningless games on the schedule; might as well let Brett Hundley take the meaningless hits. Rough year for the cheese heads.
BENGALS (+4.5) over Lions
This game will officially be the last home game for Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis, who will be parting ways with the team following the regular season. He's the second longest tenured coach in the NFL behind Bill Belichick. Fifteen seasons in Cincy and not a single playoff victory. How do you keep your head coaching job for 15 seasons without a single playoff win to your credit? Don't coaches get hired with the hope that they can lead the team to a championship? If several years pass and you aren't getting anywhere close to accomplishing that goal, doesn't that usually mean the team moves on from you and tries to find someone else to accomplish that goal? It's never a good sign when your team's ownership is OK with settling for mediocrity.
Don't worry, Bengals fans. Your fresh start is just around the corner … 15 years in the making.
Chargers (-7) over JETS
I've always been of the belief that Philip Rivers is one of the most overrated quarterbacks in the NFL. He's 36 years old and is in his 12th season as the Chargers' starter. He's a good quarterback, but year after year, he has failed to win big games. Last week was no different, when the Chargers played the Chiefs with first place in the AFC West up for grabs. In LA's biggest game of the year, Rivers submitted a 20-36, three-interception stink bomb as the Chiefs routed the Chargers 30-13.
Now they find themselves in a must-win situation in the Meadowlands. And if Rivers can't win this game against the worthless Jets … well, point proven.
Rams (-6.5) over TITANS
It's happening. When the Rams beat the Titans on Sunday and go to 11-4, they will clinch their first NFC West title since 2003. I get that Seattle's defense is decimated, but even still, how many teams go into the loudest stadium in the league and throttle the Seahawks 42-7, with 34 of those points coming in the first half? It's amazing how getting rid of an atrocious head coach can cause an incredible turnaround in just one year. When Jeff Fisher's Rams struggled to a 4-12 season last year in their return to Los Angeles, did anyone expect that just 12 months later, they would be a legitimate threat to reach the Super Bowl? Regardless of how the Rams end up performing in the playoffs, Sean McVay deserves to be coach of the year at the ripe age of 31.
BEARS (-6.5) over Browns
Folks, we're so close to seeing just the second 0-16 regular season in NFL history. Forget about having the best basketball player in the world, or the possibility of Isaiah Thomas ironically making his Cavs debut against the Celtics. This historic Browns season has to be one of the most exciting things happening in Cleveland right now. They have to be on the edge of their seats.
PANTHERS (-10) over Buccaneers
Go get em' next year, Jameis.
SAINTS (-5.5) over Falcons
This is practically a playoff game. The Saints, Falcons and Panthers are in a three-way race for the NFC South. And the stakes are pretty high when teams are not only playing to make the playoffs, but also for the opportunity to play in a home playoff game.
In the meantime, the Saints are probably still reeling from that 20-17 loss in Atlanta two weeks ago, when Drew Brees threw an end zone interception in the final minutes. This is doubling as a revenge game for New Orleans.
Broncos (+3.5) over REDSKINS
Two below average teams whose seasons are long over. We'll be going out of our way to avoid this game.
CHIEFS (-10.5) over Dolphins
I guess the Chiefs have figured out their problems. They endured a bizarre stretch in which they lost six of seven games (after starting the season 5-0), making my preseason prediction of them missing the playoffs look like a very real possibility. But since the Raiders and Chargers have folded like lawn chairs at Kansas City's feet the last two weeks, it looks like the Chiefs will probably be winning the AFC West.
(And that brings the possibility of a Patriots-Chiefs playoffs game, which brings the possibility of the Chiefs pulling out an upset in Foxborough, which would mean my Chiefs fan friends would be setting new records for obnoxious, arrogant gloating, which would mean I'd be spending the next several months cowering in a hidden cave somewhere.)
PATRIOTS (-12) over Bills
Even though the Patriots need to keep winning in order to secure home field throughout the playoffs, a part of me wants Buffalo to make the playoffs. A potential meeting between the Pats and Bills in the playoffs sounds much more enticing than the Pats playing a team like the Ravens. (In case you forgot, Patriots-Ravens playoff games are always just a series of mini heart attacks.)
However, the Pats still have plenty to play for in their final two games, so they won't be taking it easy on the Bills this week. Covering the spread at Gillette Stadium sounds pretty reasonable, especially considering the fact that Buffalo has never won in New England when Tom Brady plays the entire game. I do have to give props to first year Buffalo coach Sean McDermott though. The fact that it's Week 16 and the Bills are still fighting for a playoff spot shows that they have taken a huuuuuuge step.
49ERS (+4) over Jaguars
There is a solid chance this pick will be wrong, but as I wrote last week, I'm going to keep rolling with the undefeated Jimmy Garoppolo until somebody knocks him off.
Giants (+3.5) over CARDINALS
This game could go either way. Just flip a coin.
COWBOYS (-5) over Seahawks
Four words for you: Ezekiel Elliott is back! The Cowboys were my preseason pick to win the NFC. Now that their electric offense can get back to full force, they could squeak into the playoffs and make a run to Minneapolis. Stranger things have happened … like Sean Astin getting mauled to death in season two of "Stranger Things."
(By the way, was that "Stranger Things" scene not the most depressing scene of the entire series? Astin's character Bob Newby was quickly becoming my favorite character in the entire show. It would've been much more satisfying to see the psychopathic Billy Hargrove get eaten alive.)
Steelers (-9.5) over TEXANS
You know what? I'm not sure this line is big enough.
Raiders (+9) over EAGLES
Philly can clinch the top seed in the NFC with a win over Oakland (or a Minnesota loss). And they'll probably need home field advantage since Nick Foles will be their quarterback for the playoffs. And before you throw the "Hey now, Foles threw four touchdowns and no interceptions when the Eagles beat the Giants last week" argument in my face, let me just remind you that they were playing the Giants, and he's Nick Foles.
Once again, Merry Christmas to all of you. Don't forget to show at least a little bit of love to your families this weekend while football is consuming most of your attention.

Thrilling conclusion to Dora Machado's Stonewiser Trilogy
Over the years we've received a lot of novels for review, and it'll probably come as no surprise that many of them are for first time authors seeking some hard earned exposure. That's something we can sympathise with and we do our best to read what is sent to us, but more often than not we find ourselves cutting our loses after a few pages, in some cases a few paragraphs, and very occasionally after the first sentence.
But every great novelist was a debut novelist at one time or other and now and then we find we've stopped reading out of a sense of responsibility and continued reading for the pleasure of it.
One such novel was Dora Machado's 2008 debut Stonewiser: The Heart of the Stone, the first in a fantasy trilogy, and winner of the Benjamin Franklin Award for Best Debut Novel. In reviewing Book Two in the series, The Call of the Stone, we summed up why we felt that Machado's writing is a cut above much of the fantasy fiction that crosses our path:
"A strength of Machado's fantasy is the realism with which people and situations are handled… Machado achieves a furious forward motion in her writing by refusing to allow her characters to control situations. Their understanding of events, situations and people is almost always incomplete and no matter how careful the planning, events unfold unpredictably… its testament to the author's commitment to a grim and gritty realism that she appears to refuse to resolve the story's complexity by resorting to a simplistic idealism… For all its magic and wonder, Machado's fantasy is not escapist, and despite the humour and elements of romance it's not for the faint-hearted. There's a commitment to reality in these pages that makes for grim and yet satisfying reading… ultimately this is intelligent, thought-provoking and entertaining fiction."
This year the trilogy has come to an end with The Lament of the Stone and to our earlier appraisal all I would add is that Machado's confidence and skill as a writer and story teller have continued to grow so that the world she has crafted and populated with interesting and complex characters has become increasingly vivid and ever more substantial to our mind's eye.
These days (and for many years past in fact), the combination of "fantasy" and "trilogy" anywhere on a book cover has been sufficient to deflect my attention elsewhere: for too long the three part fantasy series has been derivative, unoriginal and wholly unsatisfying. When we reviewed Machado's first novel we commented that there's much that appears familiar in her fantasy, however this impression diminishes the farther one journeys with the series' heroine, Sariah. With each chapter, Sariah's world becomes more interesting and complex, opening up on unexpected vistas, and far from being imitative, Machado has found something fresh to add to the mix of oft used fantasy tropes. In a world devastated by the Rot's widespread destruction, history and law – the very foundations of truth and justice – are quite literally preserved in stone. Only the Guild and its Stonewisers are able to read and interpret the stones: in a state of trance, gripping the stones in their hands, the Stonewisers experience visions of the past preserved as virtual realities.
The Guild's immense power arises from a monopoly over imprinting and wising (reading) the stones, and power, as we know, corrupts: lies have entered the stones and history has been rewritten to serve the powerful. In book one, The Heart of the Stone, driven by curiosity, a passion for justice and an instinct for truth, Sariah reveals the lies in the stones, damning herself in the process and condemning her world to uncertainty. As The Call of the Stone begins, we find that Sariah has made a home amongst the New Blood, the oppressed inhabitants of the Rotten Domain. Theirs is a toxic landscape corrupted by the Rot and contained behind a mammoth wall that stretches from one end of the land to the other. Her revelations have made her few friends on either side of the Wall however and even in her new home she is unwelcome by many: certainties based on lies are more appealing, it would seem, than the uncertainties unleashed by truth.
With The Lament of the Stone the trilogy comes to a thrilling end and can finally be appreciated from start to finish without pause. Machado's imagination has been working at full tilt for this concluding chapter and we find Sariah traversing strange new landscapes and encountering even stranger denizens. The struggle for power is ripping the world apart and the fate of the world is bound up with Sariah, who discovers that the path she has been on has been guided or at least influenced from before her birth.
And that is almost as much as I'm prepared to write about the concluding chapter of Machado's excellent trilogy: the end game should be wholly surprising and I wish to give nothing of its narrative away, and in any case, if our reviews of Books One and Two have not encouraged you to read the series, a review of the concluding chapter is unlikely to do so. All that I'm prepared to add about The Lament of the Stone is that it is a fitting conclusion to the series, skilfully weaving the threads of the previous novels together into a complex, dramatic, vivid and beautifully finished tapestry.
And in Sariah's fate, Machado demonstrates once and for all her commitment to a gritty realism…
Highly recommended original fantasy fiction.

PwC backs banking reforms …says banks will overcome stresses
April 16, 2018 / Comments (0)
Banks may be going through a lot of stress currently as the central bank tries to sanitise the industry, but Country
Senior Partner at PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), Vish Ashiagbor, believes all parties stand to benefit at the end of the day.
Not only do banks have to meet the central bank's GH¢400million minimum capital requirement, they also have to adjust to the Basel II and III framework which aims at prudent capital regulation, supervision and market discipline.
Speaking to the media after a PwC seminar to share insights on Basel from other territories in Africa, Vish Ashiagbor said: "There certainly will be a level of stress, but it is a balance. The idea is to manage the risks better, so some of the risks – whether external or otherwise – the idea is to show the banks how to manage these risks better.
"If you look at the history of our banking industry, you see some of the banks often waver whenever there is an external factor that hits us – all of this is designed to strengthen the banks. Yes, there will be some stress because you have to make adjustments to what you are used to. But the ultimate goal is to have a stronger industry, which benefits all of us."
Mr. Ashiagbor said, like all processes, there is a need to start from somewhere and build from there.
"I don't think we are 100 percent ready, but we should start and refine it as we go along. Obviously, the regulator will be encouraged to improve as the returns come in. As they do their supervisory checks, they will see where there are some gaps and encourage the banks to fix those as quickly as possible," he said.
Customers and clients, he said, should be interested in the development because it speaks to the strength and capacity of banks that they are dealing with.
"As a depositor or client, you're interested in the bank's capacity to provide services to you on a long-term basis; and some of these initiatives are designed to strengthen the banks," he said.
Capital Requirement Directive
The symposium, which was facilitated by Mr. Irwin Lim-Ah Tock-Banking and Capital Markets Regulatory Practice Leader PwC South Africa, also aimed to explore components of regulatory change on banks and consider from strategic viewpoint subjects such as Internal Capital Adequacy Assessments.
The Bank of Ghana's Capital Requirement Directive (CRD), the primary rule-book for Basel II & III, became effective from January 1, 2018. The Basel Accord is a set of banking regulations put forth by the Basel Committee on bank supervision, which regulates finance and banking internationally.
Basel II attempts to integrate Basel capital standards with national regulations, by setting the minimum capital requirements of financial institutions with the goal of ensuring capital adequacy of banks.
Basel II introduces operational risk, considering that many failures and difficulties experienced by banks in history were not only attributable to credit and market risks but largely to operational risk.

Q: How to fix broken utf-8 encoding in Python? My string is Niệm Bồ Tát (Thiá»n sÆ° Nhất Hạnh) and I want to decode it to Niệm Bồ Tát (Thiền sư Nhất Hạnh). I see in that site can do that http://www.enderminh.com/minh/utf8-to-unicode-converter.aspx
and I start to try by Python
mystr = '09. Bát Nhã Tâm Kinh'
mystr.decode('utf-8')

but actually it is not correct because original string is utf-8 but the string show is not my expecting result.
Note: it is Vietnamese character.
How to resolve that case? Is that Windows Unicode or something? How to detect the encoding here.

A: The only thing that helped me with broken cyrillic string - https://github.com/LuminosoInsight/python-ftfy
This module fixes pretty much everything and works much better than online decoders.
>>> from ftfy import fix_encoding
>>> mystr = '09. Bát Nhã Tâm Kinh'
>>> fix_encoding(mystr)
'09. Bát Nhã Tâm Kinh'

It can be easily installed using pip install ftfy

A: Try:
str.encode('ascii', 'ignore').decode('utf-8')
You're encoding the string in ASCII format / ignoring the errors and decoding in UTF-8. This may remove the accents, but it's one approach.

A: I'm not sure what you can do with these kind of data, but for your example in your original post, this works (Python 3.x):
>>> mystr = '09. Bát Nhã Tâm Kinh'
>>> s = mystr.encode('latin1').decode('utf8')
>>> s
'09. Bát Nhã Tâm Kinh'
>>> print(s)
09. Bát Nhã Tâm Kinh

A: The correct method in python 3.9.6 is:
"string".encode('utf-8').decode('latin-1')

"string".encode('latin1').decode('utf8')

Martin Kirk is the recent past president of CARA, the Canadian Association of Research Administrators and is current co-chair of the INORMS council. Martin has a BSc in chemistry from Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh and a PhD in applied chemistry from the University of Calgary in Canada. He has worked for 20 years in university administration. Martin is currently the director of Research Services at UBC, a top 3 university in Canada, 37 globally (THE) with 52,000 students and research revenues of $600M, annually.
Martin will present on the topic of research administration performance.
He will discuss:
1. Metrics that are appropriate for monitoring research administration efficiency and a case study of measures that have been used by the U15 (largest 15 research institutions in Canada)
2. Researcher Surveys that have been deployed at UBC and other Canadian Institutions to gauge researcher satisfaction with research admin and identify areas that need to be strengthened
3. A Unit review template that Martin created and has utilized in reviewing administrative effectiveness in numerous Canadian universities
All of these tools are important in monitoring the effectiveness of an Office of Research Services and Compliance administration. Of course once we know where we need to improve it is time to roll up your sleeves and create a quality strategic plan….. But that's a topic for another day!

He holds a professional doctorate in Electronic Research Administration.
Benchmarking Research Services in the UK
There are many benchmarks for research activities, mainly in the area of research awards (eg income), academic outputs (eg citations) and other outcome (eg patents) and these are perhaps exemplified by the Snowball metrics recipe books and explored in The Metric Tide report. Much less progress has been made in the area of metrics for research support – how do we benchmark the performance of ours research offices? There are some ad hoc surveys covering areas such as number of staff required to support a certain volume of research applications, but there are many variables which are difficult to account for, such as the degree of decentralisation of the institution, the complexity of the type of proposal, and the level and type of support provided. The talk will unfortunately not provide solutions to these issues, but will aim highlight them in order to help inform the discussions at the conference.

There are many convenient kitchen tools out there, but the problem with most of them is storage. Appliances take up a lot of counter or storage space, and even smaller gadgets start to add up when you have a lot of tools on hand. Kitchen scales have been getting more streamlined over recent years, but they still tend to be blocky and are often difficult to store. This Tri-Scale Folding Digital Scale is one scale that won't take up any counterspace – and is so streamlined that it needs virtually no storage space at all.
The scale has an unusual folding design that allows it to fold down into something that could easily fit in your pocket when it is not in use. The scale has three arms that fold out around a central sensor. The arms give the design stability and enough space to hold a surprisingly large bowl or tray for such a small device. It has a large, easy to read LDC, and measures in grams, pounds, ounces, fluid ounces and mililiters. When you're done, the arms slide in around that central point, taking up less space in your drawer than a set of measuring cups.

Very neat in terms of the space savings and the price is pretty nifty too. Of course you're going to have to provide a platform for things like chopped chocolate or nuts but it sounds like the "add and weigh" feature would operate as a tare function.


This week, the U.S. Senate unanimously passed a bill shielding journalists and publishers from "libel tourism." The vote on Monday slipped past the Washington press corps largely unnoticed. Maybe it was the title that strove chunkily for a memorable acronym: the Securing the Protection of our Enduring and Established Constitutional Heritage (SPEECH) Act. Journalists and press freedom defenders outside the United States did, however, pay attention to the legislation, which they hope will spur libel law reform in their countries.
The bill, which is expected to sail through the House of Representatives and become law soon, protects U.S. journalists and writers from libel suits filed by repressive governments or wealthy tycoons in foreign jurisdictions such as England, where the law is heavily skewed in favor of the plaintiff. I wrote about the practice, known as libel tourism, last year.
The Senate vote comes after a long campaign by Israeli-American author Rachel Ehrenfeld who found herself slapped with a multi-million-dollar defamation suit by a Saudi billionaire she accused of funding terrorist groups. No problem, you'd think, if the suit was filed in a U.S. court, where the Saudi financier would have to prove Ehrenfeld's material was false. But this action was brought in London, the libel tourism capital of the world, where the court would demand that Ehrenfeld prove her accusations were true.
It's also a weapon for libel reform advocates overseas.
The new British government has signaled that it will introduce some kind of reform but it falls short of what many UK journalists and publishers want.
Stephens, who is a board member of the Media Legal Defence Initiative, sees implications beyond the UK.
How will this work? Well, one way will be for online news outlets and bloggers to host their sites on servers in the United States.
It's not going to turn the United States into an offshore tax haven for free speech. That's something that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange wants to achieve in Iceland. But Sen. Patrick Leahy's legislation is setting a new standard for others to follow.
Ehrenfeld thinks fertile ground for reform lies in the Commonwealth, a group of 54 countries, many of which inherited the British legal system.
"The Commonwealth countries may take a lead from that. I'm not holding my breath that Singapore will change anytime soon but Canada, the Supreme Court has already made a ruling that was more towards American law," she said.
Its different that what you wrote. In the US a public figure plaintiff would have to prove that it is false, AND that the defendent knew it was false. See New York Times vs. Sullivan.
The result is that in the US, its very easy to smear a public figure and never get punished - you just "heard" something and thus you're safe. Even if a public figure does win (e.g. Steven Pagones agains "Reverend" Al Sharpton), it can take many, many years.
Now about Rachel Ehrenfeld: maybe she should have taken care to do real research instead of relying on rumors spead by CIA Woolsey about that Mafouz guy. Grow up, Rachel!
Shouldn't you have to prove that what you are saying is true? It seems to me that England has the libel laws correct and that the US is supporting shoddy journalism.
To Tilman: Your Sharpton example is erroneous. Sharpton was not a journalist or author. He was accused of defaming Pagones in repeated public comments. Any delay in the case was in the enforcement of the ruling, not in the ruling itself. Your interpretation of Sullivan is also flawed. Under Sullivan, a plantiff must prove the defendant acted with malicious disregard for the truth.
Your arguments obscure and distort the intent of this bill. The bill is intended to protect anyone in the US who writes or expresses views from being sued in another country where the libel laws are open to abuse.
@dar: I know this may be hard to understand, but the way libel law currently operates in England, the truth alone isn't an absolute defence against a suit for libel or slander; that's the problem and why London has been dubbed the world's capital for 'libel tourism'.
The most famous recent example was the long-running proceedings brought against journalist Simon Singh by the British Chiropractic Association, because he pointed out publicly that the medical evidence clearly disproved their claims of being able to cure a broad spectrum of conditions using chiropractic. The truth was clearly on his side. He could, as you say, 'prove' his points. The problem was, the initial judge's ruling was that by using the phrase 'happily promote bogus treatments', Singh had stated that the BCA were involved in an active deception of their customers, rather than merely deluding themselves into believing in the efficacy of chiropractic inteventions.
So the British court had abruptly skewed the case in the plaintiff's favour by making all of Singh's evidence moot. He was suddenly being asked to prove a claim which he had not actually put forth. This is what the author of this article is referring to. The new US law is not opening the doors wide to 'shoddy journalism', but rather leveling the playing field so that private researchers and writers can investigate and publish their findings about powerful and wealthy interests without immediately being bullied into silence by hordes of libel lawyers.
@dar: Another problem is that British libel law makes it easy for a plaintiff with deep pockets to silence critics who can't afford a protracted lawsuit. (Not that this is limited to the UK, of course - but UK law makes it worse.) Google "McLibel" for an example where the defendants did manage to mostly win...after two years and with a LOT of help.
@Marcus - that still sounds fair to me. The wording is ambiguous, but a phrase like "happily promote bogus treatments" certainly sounds like an accusation of deliberate and knowing deception to me. Singh might not have intended it that way, but if so, should have been a lot more careful about his wording.
I think the comment above mine has it pretty much right. The real problem with libel law in England is the judge's ability to tell the defendant what they meant, regardless of what their actual intent was.
I will say, though, the "In America you're innocent until proven guilty, in England you're guilty until proven innocent" is quite a misleading way to put it. It's certainly true if you are the author of a potentially libellous statement, but if you're the subject of one, England is suddenly a lot fairer.
In America, you're innocent until a journalist decides you're guilty, whereupon you have to prove that you are, indeed, innocent.
In England, you're innocent until a journalist claims that you are guilty and backs that claim up with evidence strong enough to pass muster in a court of law.
The problem isn't England's laws, it's our judges.
What planet are you from? The statement "happily promote bogus treatments" clearly accuses them of defrauding their clients. If you are going to make accusations against some one then you should be able to back it up with proof. Just like in contract law, it's not what you meant but what you wrote!
That maybe true about the deep pockets, but that is true of all tort law in the US. Big corporations (including insurance companies) daily "win" suits because they have the money and the time.
In general, because of the nastiness of the Republican party in their attempts to win (remember those "white house plumbers", they get them together every time the republicans are in the white house), it protects paid for "newscasters" (and I use that term about as loosely as possible to be able to classify them as such) like Fox News to make even more wild and absurd claims about people they don't like and get away with it! If any democrats voted for this they were nuts!
I am student and i was woundering why you guys didn't say anything about julian assanage if your commite is really meant to protect jounalists.

The Kraft Heinz Company (KHC), commonly known as Kraft Heinz, is an American multinational food company formed by the merger of Kraft Foods and H.J. Heinz Company co-headquartered in Chicago and Pittsburgh. Kraft Heinz is the third-largest food and beverage company in North America and the fifth-largest in the world with over $26.0 billion in annual sales as of 2021.

In addition to Kraft and Heinz, over 20 other brands are part of the company's profile including Boca Burger, Gevalia, Grey Poupon, Oscar Mayer, Philadelphia Cream Cheese, Primal Kitchen, and Wattie's, eight of which have total individual sales of over $1 billion. Kraft Heinz ranked 114th in the 2018 Fortune 500 list of the largest United States corporations based on 2017 total revenue.

History

The merger of Kraft Foods and H.J. Heinz was agreed to by the boards of both companies, with approval by shareholders and regulatory authorities in early 2015. The new Kraft Heinz Company became the world's fifth-largest food and beverage company and the third-largest in the United States. The Kraft Heinz co-headquarters are in Chicago at the Aon Center and in Pittsburgh at PPG Place, with other offices across the United States, Canada, South America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. The merger was completed on July 2, 2015.

The merger in 2015 did not immediately affect the naming rights to Heinz Field in Pittsburgh PA, home of the Pittsburgh Steelers. In July 2022 reports leaked that the company did not renew the rights, which Heinz initially acquired in 2001.

On February 17, 2017, it was reported that Kraft Heinz Co. had made a $143 billion approach to take over the British-Dutch multinational Unilever, a significantly larger competitor with 126,000 more employees and £24bn larger revenue than Kraft Heinz. Unilever declined the initial proposal. The takeover was subsequently abandoned on February 19 soon after UK Prime Minister Theresa May had ordered a scrutiny of the deal.

On October 19, 2017, Kraft Heinz announced that it was acquiring Cerebos Pacific, including the Saxa salt, Gregg's, and Bisto brands, from Suntory. On March 9, 2018, New Zealand's Commerce Commission approved the purchase, on the condition that they sell the licenses for Gregg's brand of sauces and the F. Whitlock Worcestershire sauce brand due to competition concerns.

In May 2018, Kraft Heinz launched Springboard Brands, a business focused on growing organic, natural, and "super-premium" food brands. Later that year, it was announced Kraft Heinz would acquire the Primal Kitchen brand as part of the company's Springboard Incubator. The $200 million deal was completed in early 2019 and was expected to generate $50 million in new annual revenue.

On October 24, 2018, Kraft Heinz announced that it was selling its Indian nutritional beverage assets, including Complan and energy drink Glucon-D to Zydus Wellness. The sale was completed on January 30, 2019.

In April 2019, it was announced Miguel Patricio, former Chief Marketing Officer of InBev would replace Bernardo Hees as CEO of Kraft Heinz. Patricio took position of CEO in late June 2019 and Alex Behring remained chairman of the company. Later that year, Paulo Basilio returned to his role at Chief Financial Officer and Corrado Azzarita assumed the position of Chief Information Officer.

In June 2019, Kraft Heinz reached a milestone in achieving a 100 percent Corporate Equality Index score from the Human Rights Campaign. The score recognized the company for its LGBTQ inclusion efforts and becoming a leader in the area among food CPG companies. On July 2, 2019, Kraft Heinz sold its Canadian natural cheese business, including the Cracker Barrel, P'tit Quebec and aMOOza! brands to Parmalat for C$1.62 billion.

In September 2020, Kraft Heinz reached a deal to sell part of its cheese business to French multinational dairy products corporation Lactalis for $3.2 billion. The sale included the Breakstone's, Knudsen, Polly-O, Athenos, Hoffman's, and Cracker Barrel cheese brands for the United States, and Cheez Whiz outside of North America. Kraft Heinz then partnered with Lactalis to manufacture Kraft and Velveeta cheeses. On November 10, 2021, the U.S. Justice Department approved the acquisition on the condition that they divest the Athenos and Polly-O businesses. The sale was completed on November 29. The divestiture of Athenos to Emmi Roth was completed on December 1, while the divestiture of Polly-O to BelGioiso was completed on December 3.

On September 15, 2020, Kraft Heinz announced its new Strategic Transformation Plan including a new company purpose, "Let's Make Life Delicious" and an all new vision, "To sustainably grow by delighting more consumers globally." The next day Kraft Heinz also released its updated 2020 Environmental Social Governance (ESG) report with goals to make 100% of Kraft Heinz product packaging recyclable, reusable, or compostable by 2025 and plans to sustainably source 100 percent of Heinz Ketchup tomatoes by 2025.

On February 11, 2021, Kraft Heinz announced its Q4 2020 and full year results resulting in 6.2 percent increased sales and over $26 billion in revenue. The same day, Kraft Heinz announced their plans to sell its nuts business, including the Planters brand to Hormel for $3.35 billion. The transaction was completed on June 7.

In September 2021, Kraft Heinz announced that Hemmer, a Brazilian company focused on condiments and sauces, was being acquired for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition followed the recent agreement to purchase Assan Foods – a Turkish company focused on sauces – belonging to Kibar Holding, for approximately $100 million.

On January 19, 2022, Kraft Heinz announced that it had completed its acquisition of an 85% stake in Germany-based Just Spices GmbH. Launched in 2014, Just Spices is a start-up with annual sales of approximately €60 million. Its 170-plus product portfolio includes spice blends, salad dressings, easy-to-prepare "In Minutes" blends, and organic offerings for diverse meal occasions ranging from breakfast and light snacks to salads and baking, with a broad range of savory, sweet, classic, and exotic flavors. The proposed deal was first announced on Dec. 10, 2021.

Finance
For the fiscal year 2017, Kraft Heinz reported earnings of 11.0 billion, with an annual revenue of 26.2 billion, a decline of 0.6% over the previous fiscal cycle. Kraft Heinz's shares traded at over $61 per share, and its market capitalization was valued at over 136 billion in September 2018.

In February 2019, shares in Kraft Heinz fell to a record low of under $35, after the company reported a $10.2bn loss for the previous year as the company announced that it would take a $15.4 billion write-down of its Kraft and Oscar Mayer brands, cut its dividend, and acknowledged that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission had opened a probe into its accounting practices. In August 2019, Kraft Heinz announced a further $1.22 billion in write-downs, as well as the return of its former CFO, Paulo Basilio, who held the position until 2017, to replace David Knopf, saying that it wanted a "seasoned veteran" following a series of accounting errors.

On February 21, 2019, Kraft Heinz reported that they received a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) subponea in October that aimed to look into the company's accounting policies and internal controls. Kraft Heinz also announced that they slashed their dividend from 62.5 cents a share to 40 cents. The company also announced a goodwill impairment charge that wrote down the value of the company's Kraft and Oscar Mayer brands of $15.4 billion in the fourth quarter, which resulted in a net loss of $12.61 billion. The all-resulting news made the company's stock crash more than 20% in after-hours trading. The stock plunge resulted in Berkshire Hathaway, the largest stockowner, a write down of $3 billion and a stock value loss of $4.3 billion just a day before Berkshire Hathaway's quarterly earnings and annual report to investors.

In September 2020, Kraft Heinz announced its new enterprise strategy including plans to cut $2 billion in costs over five years resulting in an estimated generation of 4% to 6% adjusted earnings per share growth. The announcement resulted in multiple stock upgrades by CFRA and Guggenheim due to the renewed positive financial outlook of the company.

In September 2021, Kraft Heinz was fined $62m to settle the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission probe into its improper claim of $200m in cost savings. The $200 million in "bogus cost savings" (reportedly from merger) forced the company restate its financial results for the years 2015 through 2018.

Lawsuits
In 2017, the claim that the Kraft Parmesan Cheese label was misleading was rejected by judges. The label reads "Kraft 100% Grated Parmesan Cheese". It was argued that the consumer would know it couldn't be 100% cheese as any dairy product degrades quickly without preservatives.

< An Island in the Moon
Joseph Viscomi
"In the Moon, is a certain Island…."
1. William Blake's An Island in the Moon, written c. 1784, is a spirited prose satire with extravagant dialogue and humorous as well as poignant songs and poems, three of which were used five years later in Songs of Innocence. The title comes from the first words of a 16-page manuscript that Blake never published and which ends abruptly, missing its last page or so. Blake was 27 years old, five years a professional engraver, two years married, and a new co-proprietor of a print-selling business, hoping, as he makes clear in Island, to make money and a reputation, but also, no doubt, to buy time for his other loves, poetry and painting. Blake was also the author of Poetical Sketches, songs and poems written primarily during his engraving apprenticeship, when he was a teenager. The printing of these early literary works in 1783 was sponsored by John Flaxman, the great English sculptor and classicist, and other friends who, like Blake and Mrs. Blake, attended the literary salon of Mrs. Mathew. Blake sang and read his songs and poems at these "most agreeable conversaziones" and, according to one participant, "was listened to by the company with profound silence, and allowed by most of the visitors to possess original and extraordinary merit." [1]
2. The characters and scenes parodied in Island are almost certainly drawn from the salon environment of Mrs. Mathew's and the gatherings Blake and Mrs. Blake attended at the houses of his other friends. The boisterous Quid, one of three philosophers and a self-professed cynic, represents Blake himself. His name refers to money, specifically a pound, and is Latin for "what"--an inquisitive "what?" as well as an exclamatory "what!" He mocks everyone's ambition and vanity, including his own; Suction the Epicurean, also a philosopher, is based on his younger and much beloved brother Robert, who was 17 in 1784 and whom Blake was teaching to become an artist. Around the same age as Robert was William Henry Mathew, Mrs. Mathew's son, who was the model for Sipsop the Pythagorean, the third philosopher. There has been much speculation on the identities or sources for the other characters. Obtuse Angle probably represents Thomas Taylor, the Platonist; Inflammable Gass represents either Joseph Priestley or William Nicholson, both of whom experimented with inflammable gases; Mrs. Gittipin may be based on Nancy Flaxman, wife of the artist, and Etruscan Column represents Rev. John Brand, the secretary of the Society of Antiquaries.
3. But knowing the historical references is unnecessary, for, as Blake says, "the people are so much alike and their language so much the same that you would think you was among your friends." Indeed, God's plenty populates this stage and are all easily recognized: the wide-eyed student, the insensitive teacher, the drunken artist, the pseudo-intellectual, the fashion slave, the gas bag, the religious fanatic, the sexual hypocrite, the sexually repressed or obsessed. And, as one would expect, communication among this eclectic crew is highly ironic and continually breaking down or rendered absurd. Only songs appear communal, with the islanders quite literally coming together at the end as a chorus.
4. Translating one medium into another always requires compromises to a greater or lesser degree. I believe those made here have been to the lesser degree while retaining the spirit of the original. As written, Island has five different settings, a narrator and 15 characters. I consolidated the action into one place, a tavern, over one evening, where they "try'd every method to get good humour," and I used 14 characters instead of 15, merging Steelyard the Lawgiver with either Estruscan Column or Obtuse Angle, and conflating Tilly Lally and the narrator. I transposed Mrs. Nannicantipot's four lines of text to Mrs. Gimblet and Mrs. Gittipin. I cut Handel's instrumental Water Music, which was written for a large orchestra, and added two songs that I felt fit thematically, one from an 1803 letter to Thomas Butts and one from Songs of Experience of 1794. And I moved the last scene earlier in the play in order to end with all the characters coming together in song, a triumphant moment among the disputing group.
5. I first read Island in 1977, while a graduate student at Columbia University, in Geoffrey Keynes' Blake Complete Writings (Oxford U. P. 1966). I was immediately struck by its playfulness, energy, and ribald humor and thought its characters and actions were perfectly suited for the stage as a one-act play. [2] I had recently finished curating a traveling exhibition and writing its catalogue on l9th-century British theatre prints and co-authoring with the actor-musician David Patrick Kelly Tiny Kingdoms, a cabaret verse-drama performed at the Other End Cafe, Greenwich Village, 23-30 November 1976. It seems that at the time I was inclined to see nearly every text and event as inherently theatrical, suitable for farce, melodrama, burlesque, tragedy, or comedy. I wrote the adaptation that year but did not get a chance to test my supposition until spring of 1983, during my second year as a Mellon Fellow in Art History and English Literature at Cornell University. I had the very good fortune to meet Evamarii Johnson and Robert Gross, young professors in Cornell's Theatre Department. Evamarii directed the play and Robert played Tilly Lally, the narrator and owner of the tavern in which the action is set. The rest of the cast was made up of talented undergraduates and two graduate students. The music, 21 songs arranged for voice, piano, and flute in the 18th century ballad mode and central to the play's meaning and success, was composed by the flautist Margaret LaFrance and performed by her on piano with Maura Malarcher, one of her students, on flute.
6. Island was performed in Cornell's Kaufmann Auditorium, 7-8 April 1983, as part of "Blake: Ancient and Modern," a two-day symposium (8-9 April) at Cornell featuring lectures by Karl Kroeber, Morris Eaves, Albert Roe, Peter Kahn, Robert Essick, John Stallworthy, Reeve Parker, and myself. For the symposium I had organized three exhibitions, Blake, Illustrator and Poet at Olin Library, The Art of Illuminated Printing at the Art History Gallery, and Prints by Blake and his Followers at the Herbert F. Johnson Museum. Cornell was awashed in Blake events that spring, but of them all, I am sure the exuberant performance and music of An Island in the Moon stole the show. Its success enabled an encore presentation on 11-12 May in Cornell's Drummond Studio, which we videotaped with two cameras each night. I edited the 3/4" videotapes for Ithaca Public Television, which aired it on 2 December 1983 and a few other nights the following spring. The tapes were then transferred to 1/2" videotape for home and classroom showings. And that is the state in which the performance had remained for nearly twenty years. Now, with the advances in digital technology--and the assistance of Todd Stabley, multimedia consultant at UNC's Center for Instructional Technology--I am able to rebroadcast the play. The present Website includes the entire 48-minute video, audio and video clips of each song, dramatis personae and credit pages, and the text of the adaptation with illustrations of key scenes. I am delighted to once again introduce students to this humorous and satirical side of Blake, a side little seen or known but present in one way or another in nearly all his literary works.
In early spring of 2011, this site went off line due to server upgrades, which removed the legacy video streaming software. In preparing to resume streaming the video and its clips, fall 2011, I redigitized the 3/4" master videotape and with my assistant Bihan Zhang made all new video and audio clips.

Who can miss Andrew Lloyd Weber's musical Evita made famous by the song "Don't cry for me Argentina?" Anyone who has seen the musical of Evita will want to visit Argentina and experience first-hand what the country feels like. Stereotypes of Evita still ring true today with Eva Peron waving from balconies with her shining blond hair tied back in a chignon. It was like she never left Argentina.
The city of Buenos Aires has a European aura to it; one can never forget the Blue Jacaranda trees blooming all around. From the architecture, European immigrants, cafés, arts and music, you forget that you are in South America; Running between locations, making it on time for the group tango lessons to the dinner by the wharf takes a lot of planning. As you take things in stride, activewear becomes a necessity to help transition from a tango dinner show to a tour of Teatro Colon (opera house). The women in Argentina are gorgeous in a casual understated kind of way. Their tight pants are ready to be unleased in a moment's notice of a tango dance movement. It is amazing.
A day trip to a gaucho's farm to see him herding the horses and cows with his dogs in tow is lots of fun. And to live up to your expectations, the gauchos are dressed in all their traditional gaucho clothes complete with scarves, knives, waist bands (fajas), trousers(bombachas de campo), campero hats, and riding boots. I was impressed by the versatility of the gauchos as they go around the tables serving skewered meats barbecued over open fire in the ranch. Next, you will see the same men on their horse backs herding groups of horses and cows. Obviously, this is a touristy setup. Nevertheless, for the short time we have in Buenos Aires, it was as close as we can get to seeing a working farm with animals and gauchos. It was a short horseback riding exercise, and frankly, I was not sure if I can climb on the horse without slipping off! Again, I must stress the importance of dressing right inside and out!
Argentina is well known for their tangos. It was a treat to see it upfront and close-up. The music was kind of old world with accordion melodies and though I do not tango, I can appreciate the skills for each careful maneuver, hooks, slides, and everything in between the legs and torsos!
