A fiber artist who improvises within the African American quilt tradition, Carolyn Beard Whitlow's vibrant quilt art has been displayed in homes as far North as Maine, in Boston, Princeton, and New York City; as far West as California and Hawaii; in Arlington and Falls Church, VA; at Echo Gallery in Washington DC's Union Station; at Soul Mountain, the writing Retreat at the University of Connecticut; at the Delta Fine Arts Center in Winston-Salem, NC; and at Guilford College in Greensboro, NC, where she is Dana Professor of English. She has been an exhibitor and vendor of her quilts at the Northern Virginia Fine Arts Festival in Reston, VA, at Art in the Park in Asheville, NC, at Sugarloaf Chantilly, VA and Sugarloaf Timonium,MD and at the Washington Craft Show in the Convention Center in Washington, DC. These quilts are not traditional patchwork. In her fiber art, as well as with words, she is a poet.
Named a Cave Canem Fellow in 2000, her second poetry collection, Vanished, won the 13th Annual Naomi Long Madgett Poetry Award and was published in Detroit by Lotus Press in 2006. She earned her Master of Fine Arts degree from Brown University in 1984, where she won the Rose Low Rome Memorial Prize in Poetry and was named Phi Beta Kappa Poet of the Alpha of Rhode Island. Finalist for both the 2006 Ohio State University Poetry Prize and the 1991 Barnard New Women Poets Prize, she won the 2013 Sonia Sanchez/Amiri Baraka Prize in Poetry. Her poems have appeared in numerous journals and anthologies and she is co-editor of the anthology OBSESSION: SESTINAS IN THE 21ST CENTURY, forthcoming from the University Press of New England in 2014. Her first collection of poems is entitled Wild Meat. Her latest collection, WHEN THE WIND STILLS, was published by Finishing Line Press in 2013.
"My original design quilts and framed quilt art are improvised within the African American quilt tradition. I incorporate top quality varietals: hand painted fabrics, hand dyes, screen prints, batiks, calicoes, solids—mostly 100% cotton—plus brocades, sateens and sparklers. Depending on the size of the work, I individually select and incorporate between thirty and two hundred (30-200) different fabrics collected from around the U.S.A. and imported from the Caribbean and Africa—particularly Ghana. I hand cut the fabrics randomly into increasingly small pieces, some as tiny as a pinky fingernail, and sew them together by machine as inspired, not by pattern, and then border them with complementary fabrics. The quilt art pieces are then blocked and acid-free matted by a professional framer; the frames are chosen by me and each finished piece is named and signed by the artist. For the quilts that range from lap size to queen-sized, I hand quilt the top to the batting and the back fabric selected specifically for each quilt. [The backs of the quilts often make them aesthetically reversible.] Each quilt, or professionally framed piece of quilt art, is individually fashioned, no two exactly alike even in the same color pallette. Each is a one-of-a-kind creation that vary by a) the choices of textures and patterns in fabrics employed, b) the placement of the fabrics in juxtaposition, c) the color combinations and shadings, and d) the style and colors of the border fabrics."

This is a strategy game about growing a kingdom from a tiny hamlet to a sprawling city and imposing castle. Your kingdom must survive a living and dangerous world. Do the viking raiders make off with your villagers? Or are they stopped, full of arrows, at the castle gates? Does a dragon torch your granary, your people dying of starvation in the winter, or are you able to turn the beast back? The success of your kingdom depends solely on your skill as a city and castle planner.
Strategically layout your town to improve your peasants' happiness and to attract new residents. Tax them just enough to fund your castle. Make sure your peasants are fed in the winter and healed of plagues. Build churches to keep them from despair and taverns to keep them happy. You can even throw festivals if you've built a town square! Send out wood cutters to collect wood, set up stone quarries to build your castes, and farm the land efficiently so your town can grow and thrive.
The new land you're settling is at risk of viking invasion. These raiders seek to kidnap and kill your peasants, steal your resources, and burn your town to the ground. Use a powerful castle building system where castles are constructed using blocks which can be placed anywhere. Towers and walls are dynamically created based on how you stack and arrange them. Archer towers and other weapon emplacements have longer range the higher their tower. Try different layouts to best protect your kingdom and express your glory as a king or queen.

Different Views in Partnerships
By: Dorene Lehavi
A series of articles exploring the seven critical areas that can indicate a partnership is in trouble.
The 6th C: Changing Vision
In order for a business to be a success the vision and mission must be reflected in all aspects of the structure, the culture and the strategy by which business is conducted. Contained in these are core values and principles set forth by the owners and leaders. If there are discrepancies between any of these, I can assure you there will be problems.
There are two parts to vision. One is the partners' vision for the business and the other is each partner's personal vision for their life.
The personal vision of each should be in sync with the vision of the business and enhance it. Obviously it is important to have clarity of both before entering the partnership and to revisit them periodically as they may change over time.
For example, Justin and Romero were partners in a chain of do-it -yourself stores for about 15 years. The vision the business fulfilled was to provide easy access to low cost supplies for homeowners in various locales who were involved in do-it-yourself home fix up projects. One-stop shopping at discounted prices.
They were quite successful and over the years added a significant number of stores to their chain. There was a 20 year age difference between the partners, and that seemed to have served them well. Justin was younger and more of a risk taker; Romero was more cautious. They respected each other's opinion and were able to create a balance in their decision making around the business. Investments of profits, adding new stores, dealing with suppliers, changing their inventory focus based on changing markets over the years were easy discussions for them.
About 15 years later Justin decided it was time to take some major risks by adding additional services such as a food and household supply division and a pharmacy. Justin was interested in a much broader base of customers. This would not only change the focus of their clientele, but also vendors, marketing strategy and ultimately taking risks previously avoided.
At the same time, Justin was eagerly ready to move into this new level of business, Romero was thinking of retirement. He was becoming more cautious and did not want to forge ahead with new risks.
Obviously the changing perspective of the partners' personal goals created a dichotomy of opinion regarding the previous agreement of the purpose and vision for the business.
The resolution emerged through coaching sessions. The communication between the partners had always been open and respectful of each other. So in this situation the goal of finding a win/win resolution and a carefully crafted plan designed to end the partnership was not too difficult. A buy-out of Romero based on their original agreement with some new amendments took place and Justin found a new partner with whom he could implement his plan for the future.
In another example, Thomas and Fred were excited to be launching a new internet business. The vision for the business was to provide a unique means of networking geared to members of the fitness industry. It would enable people in that industry to find both employment and services supporting their industry. It also allowed new participants to feature their products. A particular mode of qualifying for the service would insure the trustworthiness of those benefiting from the service.
Thomas and Fred had been friends since high school and were very close. They got along well and had no doubt they were a good match as business partners. For the most part they were both in total agreement about the vision, structure and strategies needed to fulfill their plans.
In their first coaching session I asked them each how they saw their future 5 years down the line in relation to the business. Thomas envisioned a highly successful company that would achieve market value and go public in a year. By then he would be married and have a family, able to live well, vacation a lot and be quite affluent. The business would be there to provide at that level for his family for many years to come until he decided to retire. He envisioned passing the business on to his children if they wanted it.
Fred said in 5 years he saw the business as being a financial success worth many millions and at that point he would want to sell it as a public company and move on to something else. He had no intention of marrying or making a life long career out of this particular idea.
They looked at each other in amazement. Until that moment both had assumed they knew each other very well and were on the same page.
This difference in their personal life visions was certainly workable. It simply meant they now had a new dimension of knowledge about each other and that the partnership agreement between them could be written with more wisdom, minimizing surprises down the line.
Your vision is a picture of your purpose, whether it be personal or for your business. A purpose gives your life meaning. Your business also must have a purpose if it is to be a source of fulfillment and satisfaction. Partnerships are very much like marriages and likewise, the relationships between the partners need to be handled with the same detailed care. When a change in vision occurs, it can tear people away from each other. The key in partnerships as in marriage is to constantly talk openly. In a business the key to talking is to always hold the commitment to the business and the partnership as a given. When partners have maintained a close and open relationship the concern and care for each by the other is also a given. So when differences occur they can be managed in a manner that provides a win/win outcome.
The examples I used focus mainly on changes in personal vision, however, personal vision can have a direct effect on business vision and vice versa. If the vision of a business is subject to changes due to market, societal or global trends, business partners can be faced with the same challenges to reconcile competing or evolving business purpose. Communication and commitment are always keys to success.

Boston College tied with Northwestern University for third in the nation for overall Graduation Success Rate (GSR), according to data released by the NCAA last week. The school received a 97 percent overall score for its 29 men's and women's varsity sports.
The NCAA established the GSR as part of its academic reform initiative to assess and improve the academic performance and success of student-athletes. The GSR records the percentage of student-athletes that graduate at any one institution. It takes into account both transfer students and mid-year enrollees. BC's score was bested by only Notre Dame, at 99, and Duke, at 98.
The football team's score of 94 was the highest in the ACC and third in the nation, as well as one of only nine Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) programs to receive 90 or higher.
Of BC's 29 varsity teams, 17 received a GSR score of 100, indicating a 100 percent graduation rate among athletes. Those teams were men's and women's fencing, men's and women's golf, men's and women's skiing, men's and women's swimming, women's basketball, women's rowing, women's field hockey, women's ice hockey, women's softball, women's soccer, women's tennis, women's track, and women's volleyball.
Bates emphasized the importance of the graduation rate, citing BC's strong academic record.

In 2006 some 1.7 million Finnish residents, or nearly every second person aged 18 to 64, participated in adult education and training. One-half of the participants had received at least eight days of education and training (median).
Women were more active in participating in adult education and training, and they also received more days of it. The median of the study days was nine for women and under seven for men.
For the purpose of calculating the median and the top and bottom quartiles, the data are ordered by magnitude in terms of days in training.
Median represents the middle value in the data.
Bottom quartile represents the value under which 25 per cent of the observations fall.
Top quartile represents the value under which 75 per cent of the observations fall.
Nearly 60 per cent of the employees, or a total of 1.1 million persons, participated in education and training subsidised by the employer in 2006. Women received more such personnel training than men, but the amount of training received did not vary by gender. In 2006 employees who had participated in education and training received an average of five days of education and training subsidised by the employer.
With regard to age, no real differences were observed in the number of days of education and training subsidised by the employer. Upper white-collar employees and persons with tertiary level education received the highest numbers of days of personnel training. In 2006, persons classified as upper white-collar employees received on average 7 days, lower white-collar employees received 5 days and employees classified as blue-collar workers and participating in personnel training received roughly 3 days of education and training subsidised by the employer (median). Every second employee with tertiary level education who participated in personnel training received at least six days of personnel training, whereas the corresponding number for persons with upper secondary level education was five and for persons with primary or lower secondary level education four days (median, Figure 1).
The number of received days of personnel training has remained roughly on level with the year 2000.
The most common subjects of adult education and training in 2006 were associated with the fields of economics and law as well as services, safety and hobbies. Roughly one-third of the 18 to 64-year-old participants had received education and training on these subjects.
Education and training related to management and leadership skills (which in the 2006 classification is part of business economics), education and training related to services and safety as well as that related to the care industry have increased from the year 2000 to the year 2006. In 2000 some 12–14 per cent of the recipients of education and training studied these subjects, but in 2006 the corresponding percentages were 22 per cent (management and leadership skills), 19 per cent (services and safety) and 19 per cent (care industry). By contrast, studies in the field of information technology have decreased markedly. In 2000 more than every fourth 18 to 64-year-old participant in adult education and training had studied information technology, whereas in 2006 they amounted to only 18 per cent.

AO World chooses Bruntwood's Riverside as Manchester base
The Bolton-headquartered white goods specialist has taken an 11-year lease for the whole of the six-storey Baskerville House
BC north-westbc propertyBC retail
Jonathan Symcox	 12:56pm 24th Aug 2017
Baskerville House in Manchester
Leading online electric product retailer AO World is to consolidate its Manchester operation with a base at Bruntwood's Riverside office complex.
The Bolton-headquartered white goods specialist has taken an 11-year lease for the whole of the six-storey Baskerville House, occupying just under 37,000 sq ft.
AO World PLC, which trades as AO.com, is currently based in City Tower at Piccadilly Plaza, a former Bruntwood building, and in an office suite within Riverside's five-building cluster.
Riverside, situated on New Bailey Street on the banks of the River Irwell, near to Salford Central rail station, lies on the edge of the city centre's core business district and has recently undergone a £5 million refurbishment.
"Moving our entire Manchester operation under one roof not only makes sense, but is a reflection of the business's success and our continued growth ambition," said Steve Caunce, chief executive of AO World PLC.
"Baskerville House is a perfect location for this next stage of our development and will meet the needs of our staff with great transport connections and excellent local amenities.
"Bruntwood has also really thought about how the environment at Riverside can benefit their customers and I have no doubt that AO and our people will thrive here."
AO.com founder John Roberts (pictured below, right) told us recently that he would not hesitate in having another flotation – but admitted he would get a bigger "flak jacket" to deal with the brickbats.
Along with 1.5 acres of public realm, including a private courtyard with water features and sculptures, the campus also has a secure bicycle storage area and shower facilities to encourage workers to walk, run or cycle to work.
A new boutique gym and personal training facility called FORM has also just opened at Riverside.
Andrew Butterworth, sales director at Bruntwood, said: "We have had a long-term relationship with AO World PLC since the company moved part of its business into Manchester city centre some eight years ago.
"We are very pleased that AO World has now chosen to locate all of its Manchester operation at Riverside, where we are sure the company will flourish and continue to build on its success and we look forward to supporting it with any future plans to expand."
OBI Property represented AO World on the leasehold acquisition.
Will Lewis of OBI commented: "We are delighted to continue our long-standing relationship with AO and we are now looking forward to delivering a state of the art working environment for the AO team."
OBI Property is appointed by AO to design and project manage the fit out. Bruntwood represented themselves in the transaction.

The Wikipedia has the following information about this codepoint:
Inter-city rail services are express passenger train services that cover longer distances than commuter or regional trains.
There is no precise definition of inter-city rail; its meaning may vary from country to country. Most broadly, it can include any rail services that are neither short-distance commuter rail trains within one city area, nor slow regional rail trains calling at all stations and covering local journeys only. Most typically, an inter-city train is an express train with limited stops and comfortable carriages to serve long-distance travel.
Inter-city rail sometimes provides international services. This is most prevalent in Europe, due to the close proximity of its 50 countries in a 10,180,000 square kilometre (3,930,000 sq mi) area. Eurostar and EuroCity are examples of this. In many European countries the word "InterCity" or "Inter-City" is an official brand name for a network of regular-interval, relatively long-distance train services that meet certain criteria of speed and comfort. This use of the term appeared in the United Kingdom in the 1960s and has been widely imitated.

J had the idea to get up on Saturday morning and head to Bronson Park for The BIg Latch On. I've made it no secret that I like my sleep on Saturday morning, but I also love spending time with my family, so I got up to go with them.
After the event was over, L wanted to play in the park for a little while and run around with the other kids. In the almost four years I've been in Kalamazoo, I don't think I've spent any significant time at Bronson Park and I was just kinda noticing some of the beautiful buildings surrounding the green space that make it a pretty neat feature in downtown.
Once we had enough running around, J wanted to make a quick stop at Gazelle Sports to pick up some new running shoes. Turns out, I did most of the running as L didn't get all of her energy out at the park and wanted to run around the store while Mommy was trying on shoes.
J found a pair she liked and we started to head back towards the car which was parked near Farmers Alley Theatre. On the way, J asked if I wanted to stop at Taco Bob's for lunch. It was on the way and quick which worked out great because we had one more event we wanted to stop at.
The Taco Bob's downtown location is on the Kalamazoo Mall in what I'm told is the old Blimpy's building right next to the ??? right near the corner with South Street. The two story building is surprising big once you get inside. We weren't really sure if we'd be able to eat there or not, but seeing two surprisingly big dining rooms was a pleasant surprise.
While this was our first trip to the downtown location, we have eaten at the Portage Road, Oshtemo, and Centre Street locations in the past. We've always had quality food so we had no reason to suspect anything different from this shop.
I decided just to stick to tacos. I wasn't really in the mood for anything else, so I ordered four hard shell tacos and a large drink. I was very happy to see they had a Pepsi machine behind me and I took advantage of that large Styrofoam cup. L got a cheese quesadilla and J ordered two hard shell tacos and a tostado plus a large drink of her own.
The total was a little under twenty bucks and by the time we filled up our cups, the food was being put on a tray for us to take to a table. I headed to the upstairs dining room because they have regular size tables and a couple high chairs while the lower dining room was more pub tables.
J followed close behind me with the tray of food. I took the lid of a cup of hot sauce and dumped all over my plate of tacos. The four hard shell tortillas come filled with a slightly salty, Mexican spiced meat topped with lettuce, cheese, and chunks of tomatoes. I'm not a big tomato guy so I pushed them off. Other than that, my tacos were pretty yummy and the four did the trick of filling me up for lunch.
L really seemed to enjoy her quesadilla. She picked up the cheesy parts of the filled flour tortilla and went to town. Sometimes she'll take a few bites of something and set it down, but with this one, she could not have ate it any better. She actually ended up being the last one done.
I saved J's meal for last because it turned out to be the mood killer. J and I were just talked about how fresh everything seemed compared to the competition. The shell's didn't taste stale and the lettuce had that fresh, crisp bite to it. Unfortunately, not long after saying that, I looked at J who got a really sick look on her face as she pulled a long hair out of the bottom of one of her tacos. She didn't make a big deal about it, but as you can imagine, it was an appetite killer. She started to reach for her fork and just eat the tostada, but couldn't even do that. I offered one of my tacos, but by that time it was too late. She let L and I finish our lunch then we just headed out.
It's a bummer how one little thing can kill the mood of what otherwise would have been a pretty good lunch. Up until J took a bite of that taco, we were really enjoying lunch, but it was a mood killer. I believe in second chances when it comes to restaurants because mistakes happen, but I can never guarantee we can get that initial problem.


Do you need a good lawyer for an offshore oil rig or platform accident that caused a death, or serious neck, back or brain injury?
This is Hugh Howerton and for 30 years I have helped injured people. Do I claim to be the best lawyer in the world? No, I won't lie to you.
But I work hard for my clients and have got them big settlements. I promise not to lie to you or screw you around.
The truth is facts proving the oil company at fault not smooth talking lawyers are the reasons an oil company pays an injured worker a big settlement.
If you fly to your offshore rig out of Houma, Morgan City, Galliano or Cameron and got hurt call me to see if I can help you. The consultation is free.
The Jones Act is a federal law going back to 1920 that was made to protect the American merchant marine. Because the work is very dangerous the government made this law to protect injured workers. It allows the injured worker to bring a claim against his employer to recover damages.
The Jones Act is under admiralty law and protects U.S. citizens working as a seaman who is injured because of negligence or the unseaworthiness of a vessel. It's a complicated law and not everyone that works offshore is given this federal law protection.
Slip and falls are the common offshore injuries. A fall can cause a broken bone like a leg, arm, wrist, ankle or arm. A fall can cause a neck injury or back injury that may need surgery.
Being hit by a moving object is also another major cause of offshore oil injuries. A traumatic brain injury can be caused by being hit in the head. A spinal cord injury can happen if you break your neck. This can cause you to be paralyzed.
You need a good lawyer if an offshore accident caused a traumatic brain injury. A brain injury can happen if you are hit in the head and the skull is crushed causing bleeding inside the brain. This is a very serious injury and can cause you to need a lifetime of medical care.
A helicopter crash going to or from an offshore oil rig is tragic. Many times a helicopter crash causes a death. You need a good and trustful lawyer to help the surviving family. A helicopter accident can be caused by pilot error or faulty maintenance.
An offshore oil worker can be seriously hurt or killed in a crane accident. A pedestal crane boom failure can cause serious injury and death from falling equipment. A crane accident can cause a head or brain injury or paralysis. On October 16, 2017 a crane failed when conducting an operation of running a drilling riser. The dropped joint of marine riser weighed 43,000 pounds. A crane can fail because of a frozen boom tip sheave which can cause the running line to jump the sheave. Proper procedures need to be followed to make sure workers are in safe zones prior to any lifts.
Even if you don't think you are a seaman and were not working on a boat, the Jones Act may still apply to you if you were hurt on a submersible platform/rig, semi-submersible platform/rig, or jack-up rig.
The vessel must be "in navigation". This means that it is afloat, in operation, in navigable waters and capable of moving. So, if you are working on a fixed platform not capable of moving you may not qualify for protection under the Jones Act. But if you get hurt on an ocean-going ship, barge, tugboat, dredger, pile-driver, jack-up rig, or submersible rig you may qualify as a Jones Act seaman.
Your employer didn't maintain a safe environment. This means they didn't keep the deck free of dangerous obstacles, the deck was covered in grease and slippery causing you to fall.

BILL BRADLEY Biography - Polititians
Biography » polititians » bill bradley
Name: William Warren Bradley
Born: 28 July 1943 Crystal City, Missouri
William Warren "Bill" Bradley (born July 28, 1943) is an American hall of fame
basketball player, Rhodes scholar, and former U.S. Senator from New Jersey and
presidential candidate, who opposed Vice President Al Gore for the Democratic
Party's nomination for President in the 2000 election.
Bradley is an Eagle Scout and recipient of the Distinguished Eagle Scout Award
from the Boy Scouts of America. Bradley's basketball ability was
enhanced by his unusually wide peripheral vision. While most people's horizontal
field covers 180 degrees, his covered 192 degrees. Vertically most people can
see 47 degrees upward; Bradley could see 72 degrees. He is left-handed.
During his high school years, Bradley maintained a maniacal practice schedule.
He would work on the court for "three and a half hours every day after school,
nine to five on Saturday, one-thirty to five on Sunday, and, in the summer,
about three hours a day. He put ten pounds of lead slivers in his sneakers, set
up chairs as opponents and dribbled in a slalom fashion around them, and wore
eyeglass frames that had a piece of cardboard taped to them so that he could not
see the floor, for a good dribbler never looks at the ball."
Bradley is a close friend of NBA Coach Phil Jackson, since they were traveling
roommates playing for the New York Knicks together. In 2000, Jackson was a vocal
supporter of Bradley's run for the presidency and often wore his campaign button
in public. In the 2007 Basketball Hall of Fame induction ceremony, Bradley
accompanied Jackson who was one of the inductees that year.
Bradley was born in Crystal City, Missouri to Warren Bradley, a banker, and
Susie Crowe. Bradley began playing basketball in fourth grade. He was a
basketball star at Crystal City High School, where he scored 3,068 points in his
scholastic career and was twice named All-American. With stellar academic
credentials as well, he received 75 college scholarship offers.
The 6' 5" (1.96 m) Bradley chose Princeton University, even though Ivy League
colleges could not offer athletic scholarships, after backing out of a
commitment to Duke University. At Princeton, under coach Butch van Breda Kolff,
Bradley was a three-time All-American and the 1965 National Player of the Year.
In each of Bradley's varsity seasons, the Tigers captured the Ivy League
championship. During his sophomore season, Bradley averaged 27.3 points and 12.2
rebounds a game while sinking 89.3 percent of his free throws. Among his
greatest games was a 41-point effort in an 80-78 loss to heavily favored
Michigan in the 1964 Holiday Festival (Bradley fouled out with his team leading
75-63), and a 58-point outburst against Wichita State in the 1965 NCAA
tournament, which was a single-game tournament record. In total, Bradley scored
2,503 points at Princeton, averaging 30.2 points per game. In 1965, Bradley
became the first basketball player chosen as winner of the James E. Sullivan
Award, presented to the United States' top amateur athlete in the country.
As a freshman, Bradley sank 57 successive free throws, a record unmatched by any
other player, college or professional. As a sophomore, he led the league in
rebounds, field goals, free throws, and total points, and, when he fouled out
after scoring a record-breaking 40 points in an NCAA tournament game with Saint
Joseph's in Philadelphia, was given an unprecedented ovation.
In his junior year, he scored 51 points against Harvard, more than the entire
opposing team had scored before he was taken out, and his 33.1 points-per-game
average that season set an Ivy League record.
In his senior year, as captain, he led Princeton to its highest national
basketball ranking ever. The Tigers placed third behind UCLA and Michigan in the
NCAA tournament, by virtue of an 118-82 victory over Wichita State in the semi-final
consolation game. In that game, Bradley scored 58 points. Only one other player
has scored more in a tournament game. Notre Dame's Austin Carr scored 61 points
in 1970 in a first round victory over Ohio.
John McPhee's A Sense of Where You Are (1965) is a paean to Bradley's Princeton
playing years. It was Pulitzer prize winner John McPhee's first book.
Bradley graduated with honors and was awarded a Rhodes Scholarship at Worcester
College, University of Oxford. Bradley also served as captain of the gold medal-winning
U.S. Olympic basketball team in 1964. Bradley's remarkable tenure at Princeton
was the subject of Pulitzer Prize-winning author John McPhee's first book, A
Sense of Where You Are.
After completing his studies at Oxford, and playing professional basketball
briefly in Italy for Olimpia Milano (1965-66 season), where he won a European
Champions Cup (the most important trophy for European teams), Bradley returned
to the U.S. to join the New York Knicks of the National Basketball Association.
On the court, Bradley struggled in his rookie year before coming into his own in
his second season, when he was moved from the guard position to his more natural
forward slot. In 1969–70, he helped the Knicks win their first NBA championship,
followed by a second in 1972–73. The second championship season was Bradley's
best as a pro, and he made his only All-Star Game appearance that year. Retiring
from basketball in 1977, he was elected to the Basketball Hall of Fame in his
first year of eligibility. In 1984 the Knicks retired his number 24 jersey.
In the NBA, Bradley was not the major scoring threat he had been in college.
Over ten years at small forward for the Knicks, "Dollar Bill," as he was
nicknamed, scored a total of 9,217 points for an average of 12.4 points per game,
with his best season being 16.1 points per game.
During his NBA career, Bradley used his fame on the court to explore social as
well as political issues, meeting with journalists, government officials,
academics, businesspeople, and social activists. He also worked as an assistant
to the director of the Office of Economic Opportunity in Washington, D.C., where
he made contacts in Democratic circles. In 1976, Bradley also became an author,
with Life on the Run, which chronicled his experiences in the NBA and the people
he met along the way.
Bradley had harbored political ambitions for years, and in 1978 decided to run
for United States Senate in New Jersey, for a seat held by liberal Republican
and four-term incumbent Clifford P. Case. Case lost his primary contest to anti-tax
conservative Jeff Bell, and Bradley won the seat in the general election with 55%
of the vote.
In the Senate, Bradley acquired a reputation for being somewhat aloof and was
thought of as a "policy wonk," specializing in complex reform initiatives. The
best known of these was the 1986 overhaul of the federal tax code, which reduced
the tax rate schedule to just two brackets, 15% and 28%, and eliminated many
kinds of deductions. Although he was a vocal supporter of various left-wing
causes and political reform, he sometimes broke ranks with his party to support
the Reagan administration (initially supporting, for instance, Reagan's policy
of aiding the Contras in Nicaragua).
Some significant domestic policy initiatives that Bradley led or was associated
with included: reform of child support enforcement; legislation concerning lead-related
children's health problems; the Earned Income Tax Credit; campaign finance
reform; and federal budget reform to reduce the deficit, which included, in 1981,
supporting President Reagan's spending cuts but opposing his parallel tax cut
package, one of only three senators to take this position.
Bradley was re-elected in 1984 with 64% of the vote, and he still retained
popularity in New Jersey from his Knicks days and from practices such as his
annual Labor Day talk-to-citizens stroll along Jersey Shore beaches. In 1988,
there was speculation that he might seek the Democratic nomination for President,
and he polled well in early primary states, but he eventually decided not to run.
In 1990, a controversy over a state income tax increase—on which he refused to
take a position—turned his once-obscure rival for the Senate, Christine Todd
Whitman, into a viable candidate. Bradley won by only a slim margin. In 1996, he
opted not to run for re-election, publicly declaring American politics "broken."
Bradley ran in the 2000 presidential primaries, opposing incumbent Vice
President Al Gore for his party's nomination. Bradley campaigned as the liberal
alternative to Gore, taking positions to the left of Gore on a number of issues,
including universal health care, gun control, and campaign finance reform.
On the issue of taxes, Bradley trumpeted his sponsorship of the Tax Reform Act
of 1986, which had significantly cut tax rates while abolishing dozens of
loopholes. He voiced his belief that the best possible tax code would be one
with low rates and no loopholes, but he refused to rule out the idea of raising
taxes to pay for his health care program.
On public education, Bradley reversed his previous support of school vouchers,
declaring them a failure. He proposed to make over $2 billion in block grants
available to each state every year for education. He further promised to bring
60,000 new teachers into the education system annually by offering college
scholarships to anyone who agreed to become a teacher after graduating.
Bradley also made child poverty a significant issue in his campaign. Having
voted against the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act, better known
as the "Welfare Reform Act," which, he said, would result in even higher poverty
levels, he promised to repeal it as president. He also promised to address the
minimum wage, expand the Earned Income Tax Credit, allow single parents on
welfare to keep their child support payments, make the Dependent Care Tax Credit
refundable, build support homes for pregnant teenagers, enroll 400,000 more
children in Head Start, and increase the availability of food stamps.
Although Gore was considered the party favorite, Bradley did receive several
high-profile endorsements. He was supported by Senators Paul Wellstone, Bob
Kerrey, and Daniel Patrick Moynihan; former Senators John A. Durkin and Adlai
Stevenson III; Governor John Kitzhaber; former Governors Lowell Weicker (a
former Republican), Mario Cuomo, Tony Earl, Ray Mabus, Brendan Byrne, Robert W.
Scott, Neil Goldschmidt, Philip W. Noel, Kenneth M. Curtis, and Patrick Lucey;
Congresspeople George Miller, Bill Lipinski, Pete Stark, Jerrold Nadler, Luis
Gutiérrez, Anna Eshoo, Jim McDermott, and Diana DeGette; former Congresspeople
Jim McNulty, Mary Rose Oakar, Michael J. Harrington, Andy Jacobs, and David
Skaggs; former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich; former New York City Mayor Ed
Koch; former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker; filmmaker Spike Lee; San
Francisco Supervisor Tom Ammiano; Seattle Mayor Paul Schell; Harvard Professor
Cornel West; feminist icon Betty Friedan; former Watergate Special Prosecutor
Archibald Cox; and basketball stars Michael Jordan and Phil Jackson.
Bradley's campaign intially had strong prospects, due to high-profile
endorsements and as his fundraising efforts gave him a deep war chest. However,
it floundered, in part because it was overshadowed by Senator John McCain's far
more attention-gaining, but ultimately unsuccessful, campaign for the Republican
nomination; McCain had stolen Bradley's "thunder" on several occasions. Bradley
was much embarrassed by his two to one defeat in the Iowa caucus, despite
spending heavily there, as the unions pledged their support for Gore. He then
lost the New Hampshire primary 53-47%. Bradley finished a distant second during
each of the primaries on Super Tuesday.

As the ORB states, aircraft were diverted on their return to Bradwell Bay, ( This airfield had the FIDO Fog Dispersal system that would possibly have proved invaluable for Allan that night). Currently I have no explanation for why Bradwell Bay appears in Bob's records as a posting. I have postulated to others that it might have been because of the duration of absence from Mepal – the aircrews had to be 'somewhere' all the time. I have received warmish agreement for this idea, but nothing absolute as way of confirmation.
"The weather was poor being 10/10ths cloud cover over the target, there was also a fog at base which neccesitated the aircraft landing at Bradwell Bay".
"A thick fog enveloped the aerodrome and made flying impossible. Ground training was therefore carried out".

We have canceled our trash service. We went years without trash service when we lived in Highlandville and recycled as much as we could. Then when we moved out here, recycling became a pain.
It was too far and seemed too inconvenient to take our stuff into Springfield and the recycling center here was WAY too picky about stuff. Only 1&2 plastics, only cans with the labels removed, etc. etc.
So we signed up for trash service and each week happily deposited our bags and other flotsam and jetsam into the very tidy dumpster… for $25 a month.
Finally one day I actually WENT to the recycling center in Marshfield and they told me to bring them what I had and they would take it; paper, cardboard, 1-7 plastic, old clothes, glass, tin, aluminum. What? Really? Cool.
So I got some bins and started sorting stuff and now we are recycling enough that we barely have one or two bags of trash a week. We started using our burn barrel for the stuff we had left over and designated one old trash can for weird things that can't be recycled or burned and will take them to the dump once a year when we have to.
It's only been a couple of weeks but so far there is nothing in the weird, can't recycle can. I'm sure it will come eventually.
I was getting ready to throw the rabbit food bag into the barrel to burn and thought maybe I could make a tote bag out of it.
I'm not a very good seamstress so it's pretty rough but maybe the next one will be better. I'm already eyeballing the chicken feed bag for the next one.

Hindu temple in Washington State vandalised with 'Get Out' message
news Monday, March 09, 2015 - 05:30
The News Minute | February 17, 2015 | 12.20 pm IST
In the latest attack targeting Hindus places of worship, a temple in Washington State was vandalized on the eve of its planned celebration of Maha Shivaratri, according to media reports.
When members of the Hindu Temple Cultural Center in Bothell, 36 km from Seattle, went there on Sunday they found a swastika painted on it and "Get Out" scrawled in large letters with spray paint.
In the US, white supremacists have adopted the Nazi swastika as an ideological symbol. KING 5 TV, an NBC affiliated station in Seattle, said, "In Hinduism, swastikas signified peace long before it became a Nazi symbol. In this case, temple leaders say it's now being used not just to hurt their believers but a neighborhood."
The Bothell temple incident comes ten days after President Barack Obama criticised India at an inter-religious prayer meeting saying intolerance there "would have shocked Gandhiji."
"I was paranoid to say the truth, this just doesn't look right to me," temple member Jay Araman told Seattle's KIRO TV, a CBS affiliate.
"He fears the red graffiti, sprawled across the outside of the temple, could be a sign that someone is planning something violent," the station added. Echoing the fears, Thampipillai Thilakarjah told Q13 Fox TV station that his 11-year-old son was scared to visit the temple.
The Bothell Reporter newspaper reported that the incident was under investigation but no suspect has yet been identified according to Shari L. Ireton, a spokesperson for Snohomish County Sheriff.
"The timing of this crime, occurring before a major Hindu festival, warrants special attention from law enforcement," said Jay Kansara, Hindu American Foundation's Director of Government Relations. "We are encouraged by the ongoing thorough investigation of the Bothell City Police Department."
There has been a spate of anti-Hindu across the US in recent months. In August a murti of Shiva at the Vishwa Bhavan Hindu Mandir in Georgia state was desecrated with black paint. The phone lines of the temple in Monroe, near Georgia, were cut and graffiti wits hate messages were written on it. The local sheriff's office arrested two people in connection with the attack.
Between July and October in Loudon County in Virginia, police documented 17 separate incidents of anti-Hindu vandalism, HAF said.
In response to these attacks, the US Justice Department has mandated the inclusion of anti-Hindu hate crimes as a category in crime-reporting forms starting in January.
In an incident involving an Indian, but not directly linked to his religion, 57-year-old Sureshbhai Patel was attacked by a police officer in Madison in Alabama state and left partially paralysed. The officer was dismissed from the police force.
In Bothell, a government-run school was also defaced with a swastika and the words, "Muslims Get Out," according to Q13 Fox.

ARTISTS UPDATE: 4 who keep on creating
By	Mike Cassidy	on	December 28, 2017	in	Arts	with	0 Comments

Each new year we like to look into past issues for few local artists who've been introduced to you, just to see what's been going on.
This year we hit a treasure trove. A LOT has been happening in their lives.
Take a look at this update on creative naturalist Heather Wallis Murphy, the very theatrical Maussers (John and his daughter Tiffany) and recently-published author Matthew Sullivan.
…and always there are the birds
It's been four years since we interviewed artist Heather Murphy Wallis at her home in Leavenworth.
The initial The Good Life article tried to capture her passion for the natural world and her inimitable skill in sharing it on the page.

Back then we wrote:
It started very simply in 1997 with cardstock copies from her desk printer of a double page of flowers. She sent that remembrance to a friend with a very good eye for art, as well as ties to the Sleeping Lady gift shop, and success there led to Heather's regular and far-reaching card business.
Years of the small spiral-bound notebooks, her life's journals jampacked with sketches and notes, are displayed in her home studio high above East Leavenworth Road.
She's gathered together early "coffee break" sketches from her work years, and scenes from hundreds of hikes and walks catching the essence of high mountain lakes, blossoms, and brambles, Scottish scenes (from three visits over 15 years) that honor her parents' ancestry and myriad views large and small: a Cascade horizon at sunset, a vast river valley, a pine twig, a seedpod, three iris…
What's new? Plenty.
First, let's look at the numbers: Since 2013 Heather has created 17 Wildtales Journals (140 pages each of paintings, sketches, field notes and writings.)
Her company, Walleye Cards, published 1,000 each of four different designs of Birder's/Botanist's Pocket-sized Journals, a total of 4,000 journals. (Then she personally filled 18 of them with birding data and field sketches of birds or plants).
Heather has also kept volunteering for non-profits. She monitors birds in the Fish Lake, Lake Wenatchee, Meadow Creek and White River areas and with her husband leads birding trips.
In 2013 she accepted a group award in Washington D.C. from Environment for the Americas on behalf of a grass-roots consortium of conservation organizations, and she works every month with Last Tuesday's Artists through Icicle Creek Center for the Arts.
And, always in the interest of observing and recording the lives and habitats of birds, in the last four years she's traveled in this country: (Stehekin, Mount Rainier, the San Juans, Idaho, Lake Erie, Hawaii. And she has gone afar, to Mexico, Costa Rica, Ireland, Austria. (This year her personal eight-week challenge after a broken wrist was learning to write and draw with her left hand, which, of course she did very well.)
She is considering publishing a left-handed birder's journal, will lead a birding trip in Ireland, and is working hard on improving her writing in preparation for a full-length book.
Heather Murphy Wallis is unlikely to run out of steam, or creative choices, as long as there are birds and paper.
New directions, and a new stage of life
In 2015, The Good Life interviewed John and Tiffany Mausser, the dynamic duo of community theater, a long-time father and daughter directing team.
John Mausser and his daughter, smiling here at Tiffany's wedding last summer, are heading in new directions personally but hope to direct and act in many more shows together.
We wrote:
"It's great to have two directors," John said, "One of us can be working with a small scene in the foyer while the other is blocking a crowd scene on stage." "Or," added Tiffany, "I can choreograph while he's doing scene work."
Or, any way you look at it (even if you hear it in stereo) two minds and bodies working with a large cast are better than one. Or, teamwork saves time.
You've probably seen Tiffany and John on stage — acting, singing, and dancing in Leavenworth Music Theater, Mission Creek Theater and Riverside Theater… The dynamic duo started early — when Tiffany was still high school in 2001, John, a math teacher who'd done some acting, took over directing drama at Cascade High School (where he staged Children of Eden and 15 other plays) and eventually asked his daughter to co-direct two plays with him…
It's been three years since that story. Time has passed, lives have changed, and they still enjoy any opportunity to work together.
Tiffany became president of Music Theatre of Wenatchee in 2016 and John, also on the board, oversees the care and use of technical equipment and manages storage in general at Riverside Playhouse.
John directed Boeing Boeing and Rumors, and Tiffany acted in both of those, and they performed together for the first time in several years in the Apple Blossom musical Mary Poppins.
Summers have been equally busy, between taking roles in Hot August Nights productions at the PAC and working on different Leavenworth Summer Theater plays —Tiffany directing and John acting.
A first for the team will be co-directing the 2018 Apple Blossom Musical, Guys and Dolls at the Numerica PAC. Tiffany said they are thrilled because that's always been a favorite show with "comedy, romance, dancing, catchy tunes, and classic Broadway style."
Not enough responsibility? Here's more: John will design and build the set (no small feat on the PAC stage), and Tiffany will choreograph the dance numbers.
Life for the Mausser clan isn't all rehearsals and showtime. (Or is it?) John's wife, Jan, will join him in retirement in January, and they hope to enjoy more time to travel and work on their home in Plain — in between plays.
This past September Tiffany was married to Wenatchee native David Belmont, who she met last year during the production Children of Eden. And, as ever, the father and daughter team looks forward every season to another opening of another show…
Bright ideas get even brighter
Matthew Sullivan was deep in throes of revising his about-to-be-published novel when — in 2015 — The Good Life caught up with him in between the first yes and the actual printing, a long and winding road.
Matthew Sullivan: Sharing his experience at a Write On The River event.
… Midnight at the Bright Ideas Bookstore had been sent around, set aside, rewritten, re-rewritten and finally picked up by Scribner eight years later. It is aimed at publication in 2016.
The big prize, the gold ring, his first published full-length novel to hit the shelves, is just within reach.
Now starts the hard work … He rewrites, re-envisions, reconfigures.
He said, "I'm whittling it, streamlining it; it's more compact and fast-paced now. Sometimes my agent has to remind me 'Matthew, it's still your book.'"
The end result — the title on the shelf, possible film options, professional promotion and tours — he figures will take a full year from the date the manuscript is totally finished.
Not discouraged, he's in for the long haul. Matthew's a disciplined writer, he knows the marketplace, and at 45 he may just be hitting his stride.
Well, Matthew did indeed hit his stride.
The hardback book was published in June 2017 with good reviews, it's on bookstore shelves, it's been translated for the European market and — a coup for any contemporary writer — it comes out in paperback this month.
This past year, Matthew also learned first-hand the difference between "writer" and "author."
"As a writer," he said, "I tend to hole up and prowl around in solitude, but as an author I've had to be much more public… working with translators and writing blurbs."
The solitude and struggle at the computer was lightened by traveling last summer to bookstores for promotional readings, which he and his family of four turned into vacation trips here and in England and Ireland.
The most meaningful part of all this has been the appreciation from not just friends and family, but also "old classmates, students and fellow staff members at Big Ben Community College, people in the grocery store and the post office."
He said, "I've had a lot of strangers around the country (and a few around the world) email me with notes of encouragement."
Matthew continues to share his love of writing at Write On the River events and with his BBCC students.
And he's at it again — now he's hard at work on another mystery about the murder of a young woman in a rural town in Central Washington.
Of course, he's characteristically serious and intent upon its quality, but when asked about the plot of his newest novel he quipped, "No Country for Old Men meets Little House on the Prairie?"

You are here: Main » Turkey, Kurdish forces accuse each other of violating ceasefire
by Mildred Hamilton	- at October 21, 2019
Kurdish and Turkish officials have repeatedly accused each other of violating the truce announced by U.S. Vice President Mike Pence on Thursday to allow Kurdish fighters to withdraw from areas along the border.
RAS AL-AIN: Turkey´s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan fired off a fresh warning Saturday to "crush" Kurdish forces as both sides traded accusations of violating a US-brokered truce deal in northeastern Syria.
The official, Redur Khalil, said Saturday evening that the evacuation could take place Sunday if there were no new problems.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britain-based war monitor, said the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) had yet to start pulling back yesterday.
News reported a senior U.S. official and the top Kurdish commander both said that Turkey is continuing to advance, taking territory in and around the border city of Ras al-Ain.
But earlier this month, US President Donald Trump announced that he would withdraw US troops from northern Syria, in a move seen as green-lighting a Turkish attack.
She claimed that Syria's north would be subject to "certain agreements in the interests of the Syrian government", and added that Damascus highly appreciated the help of its allies, especially Moscow, in countering the terrorist threat.
Many said they were repulsed by Mr Trump's decision to host an global summit at his own resort and incensed by acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney's admission - later withdrawn - that United States aid to Ukraine was withheld for political reasons.
The deal aims to stem a humanitarian crisis, which displaced 200,000 civilians in the region, and ease a security scare over thousands of Islamic State captives guarded by the Syrian Kurdish YPG militia targeted by the Turkish assault.
"We noticed there was no desire (from the Russians and Syria) to have the Syrian military on the dividing line between us and the Turks except in Kobani", he said. That is far longer than the territory the Kurds will leave under the terms of the deal.
Turkey considers the Syrian Kurdish groups terrorists for their links to a decades-long Kurdish insurgency inside Turkey.
By capturing it, along with the towns of Ain Issa and Tal Abiad, Turkey would cut Kurdish-held territory in half, isolating the western Kurdish pockets from those in the east, said Elias Hanna, a military analyst at the American University of Beirut.
According to the Kurdish Red Crescent, 44 civilians were killed and 171 wounded since the attack began on October 9. "If not, we will continue to crush the heads of the terrorists the minute the 120 hours (of the ceasefire) are over", Erdogan told flag-waving supporters in the central Turkish province of Kayseri.
"We know very well...what we want", Mr. Erdogan said in a speech on Saturday.
Turkey has said it wants to oversee that area.
"We want there to be a role for America in Syria, not only Russian Federation and others monopolising the scene", said Abdi, whose forces turned to the Moscow-backed regime of President Bashar al-Assad for protection when United States troops pulled back. He confirmed he will discuss the potential deployment of Syrian forces with Vladimir Putin but warned his Government would "implement its own plans" if an agreement was not reached.
Chick-fil-A and the shopping center faced backlash when the first United Kingdom location of the chicken chain opened last week. After Chick-fil-A announced its plans for its Reading branch, the decision was condemned by LGBT rights groups across the UK.
The unrest underscores sharp divisions in Chile , one of Latin America's wealthiest nations but also one of its most unequal. Protesters gesture as the Macul Metro station burns during a mass fare-dodging protest in Santiago , on October 19, 2019.
Manchester City's Aguero unhurt after car crash
However, Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni has suggested the forward is not quite at full fitness. Aguero will now turn his attention to being fit for this weekend's clash with Crystal Palace.
Barnes, an eight-year National Basketball Association veteran, told reporters he wanted to give back to the community. Dean shot and killed Jefferson within seconds of creeping up to the property and yelling for her to put her hands up.
They lost one man for risky play in the second half, but Wales still struggled to gain the upper hand. "We just hung in there". A minute later, Vakatawa sidestepped in from an offload by winger Damian Penaud and dived over for a brilliantly try.
Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said his country saw the vote as a delay, rather than a rejection of the Brexit deal . Defeat would trigger a law requiring him to ask European Union leaders to delay Brexit for what would be the third time.
Volvo XC40 Recharge is the brand's first EV
Volvo hopes that 50% of its global sales will comprise all-electric vehicles by 2025, with the other 50% consisting of hybrids. The XC40 also offers the T5 Twin Engine , which uses a 1.5-liter 3-cylinder gas an electric motor to net 262 hp.
Mulvaney: Ukraine Funds Withheld In Part Due to 2016 Issue
He pointed to the example of the administration holding up aid to Central American countries to force them to change their policies on immigration.

Apple did take a breather before releasing iOS 13 .1.3 but the things it fixes are no less serious. With iPadOS 13, Apple's tablets will also get a native Dark mode.
Arguments conclude; SC bench reserves verdict
The top court had recently said that it would wrap up hearing in the case on October 17, a day earlier than it was scheduled to. The SC bench will most probably pronounce the verdict in the case by November 17 as the CJI will demit his office on that date.
Jaguars Also Received These Trade Offers For Jalen Ramsey
The Rams send the first round picks of the Jags in 2020 and 2021, as well as a fourth round pick in 2021 as part of the deal. For all of Ramsey's undeniable talent, his sometimes boorish and combustible personality made things hard at times.

Catherine Flemming
Catherine Flemming was a German actress who became known to British and North American audiences nearly three decades into her career when she played the Duchess of Kent on the TV drama "Victoria" (ITV/PBS, 2016-). Born on February 2, 1967 in Karl-Marx-Stadt, East Germany, Flemming got her first role in 1994, in an episode of the long running crime drama "Der Late (The Fox)" (ZDF, 1977-). She soon became a fixture on German television, appearing on such programs as "Um die 30" (ZDF, 1995-), "All mine Töchter" (ZDF, 1994-1999), before landing her first series regular role on "Die Flughafenklinik" (RTL, 1995-1996). Before long, Flemming moved into films, including "Rohe Ostern" (1996), "Still Movin'" (1997), and "Hunger: Longing for Love" (1997). Her biggest film appearance came in Oskar Roehler's acclaimed drama "No Place to Go" (2000), which was Germany's submission to that year's Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film. She worked with Roehler again on his next film, "Angst" (2003). Flemming continued to be a prolific presence in German film and television over the next few decades, accruing a whopping 80 credits. She landed the role that would become her international breakthrough in 2016, when she was cast as the Duchess of Kent, mother to Queen Victoria in the acclaimed period drama "Victoria" (ITV/PBS, 2016-).

Curtain call of The Merry Wives of Windsor
It's a wrap for the Utah Shakespeare Festival's 2018 season, and Festival administrators are excited about the season's success both artistically and financially. The season ended October 13 with the final performances of The Liar, An Iliad, The Foreigner, and Othello. The curtain closed on the other four shows—The Merchant of Venice, The Merry Wives of Windsor, Henry VI Part One, and Big River—the first week of September.
Everybody at the Festival took a deep breath, celebrated for a moment, and then continued work on the 2019 season which is fast approaching. But before they moved on, Executive Producer Frank Mack and Artistic Director Brian Vaughn took a few minutes to review the highlights of 2019.
"It was a great season. Artistically, I loved every show," said Mack. "Also, we finished the season with a balanced budget. That is a major accomplishment."
"Artistically, this season was one of the most rewarding ever," added Vaughn. "I'm proud of the work and I'm proud of the company. You won't find better productions anywhere of any of these plays."
"In a season that was filled with complex, challenging subject matter, the work was thoroughly engaging and artistically rewarding both for our company and for our audience," he said. "Every play was strong, engaging, relevant, and full of powerful performances."
For example, the musical Big River dealt with some difficult subjects in a sensitive and inspired way. "The relationship of Huck and Jim, as played by Ezekiel Andrew and Rob Riordan, was beautifully woven," said Vaughn. "And I could say similar things about all our plays."
Mack agreed: "It was an amazing ensemble of artists. It was really about all of the artists doing amazing work."
In addition, this was the first full season of the Festival after major leadership changes. Mack, who joined the Festival toward the end of last summer's season, was excited about the administrative changes that have taken place since then. Since last summer, the Festival has promoted Kami Terry Paul to the position of general manager and has hired Donn Jersey as director of development and Tyler Morgan as director of marketing and communications.
"I am gratified that we filled the staff positions and that we got through all this transition." said Mack. "We have terrific people across the board who are helping make the organization's success possible."
Part of that success and one of the highlights this year for Mack was balancing the Festival's budget for the first time in several years. "Bringing our expenses in line with our revenue and getting the budget to balance, while maintaining artistic excellence, is to me our biggest achievement," he said. "Everybody on the staff and board came together to balance that equation, which was extraordinary."
He also thanked Southern Utah University President Scott L Wyatt, the State of Utah, the Festival board of governors, and many long-time institutional donors who "didn't waver in their support for us."
So, what does this mean for the next season of the Festival, and for seasons beyond that? "We are looking forward to next year," said Vaughn. "This year was a season where we explored with our audiences the ideas of tolerance. Next year we have chosen plays which will focus on the family. We want to see how we can come together as humanity. It will be a season about love, life, and belonging."
"We always need to keep working and to keep our vision focused," said Mack. "This year tells us we can do it, and reminds us that telling great stories in a great way is our main purpose, but that we do it better when we are financially responsible."
He noted that the Festival is engaged in a long-range planning process and will be proposing a new mission statement, vision statement, and statement of values soon. "We are excited about the future. We want to continue to build upon our successes, overcome whatever issues may face us, and produce great theatre for our great audiences."
Planning is well under way for 2019, and tickets for the season, themed around the family, are on sale at 800-PLAYTIX and online at bard.org. The season will run from June 27 to October 12. Plays are Hamlet, Twelfth Night, Macbeth, and The Conclusion of Henry VI: Parts Two and Three, all by William Shakespeare. Also on the docket are the popular musical Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat by Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber; The Book of Will, a fanciful and fun telling by Lauren Gunderson of how Shakespeare's plays were saved in print after his death; Every Brilliant Thing by Duncan MacMillan and Jonny Donahue, a funny and moving play which is a tribute to resilience, hope, and life; and Arthur Miller's American classic The Price.


More than 100 Big Data experts gathered in Madrid to participate in the 3rd TransformingTransport (TT) General Assembly meeting during a three-day event (29-31 January 2018). Counting a little more than a year from its launch, TT made a significant progress towards targets that were set. The huge amount of information being gathered through the project is already yielding positive results, from rapid detection of faults on rail links to improved traffic management of roads and faster turnaround time for airplanes. Each of TT's seven domains has made advances in using Big Data to improve the efficiency of mobility and logistics processes, and the results that have been achieved so far in 13 Pilots were presented in the meeting.
During the first day, the meeting was hosted by the Spanish Administrator of Railway Infrastructures (ADIF) in the impressive building of the Madrid Railway Museum. After the meeting, the project partners had a possibility to visit the museum as well as the Spanish Railway Control Center. The next two days of the event took place at the INDRA premises.
