Janet Jennings | Voices of Women — CD
These poems, vibrant, clear-eyed, and packed with meaning, were first published by Sidgwick & Jackson (London, 1929) in a volume called From a Garden in the Antipodes. Ursula Bethell, one of New Zealand's great poets (and a particular favourite of the composer), wrote most of her poetry during a 10 year period of intense happiness as, at this stage already in her 50's, she settled in a newly built cottage in the Cashmere hills of Christchurch with her dear friend Effie Pollen.
The poems speak in both painterly and philosophical terms of the garden she created and tended lovingly on the steep, clay slope overlooking the Canterbury Plain and Southern Alps. Effie died suddenly, shortly after Ursula's 60th birthday, leaving the poet to deal with a crisis in the religious faith she expressed so strongly in these poems. She wrote very little poetry after this time.

Is A Tweet Partisan Political Activity? Did Scavino's Tweet Violate Hatch Act?
Published April 7, 2017 at 7:32 AM EDT
Now let's talk about social media and federal law. All this week, Dan Scavino, who's president Trump's former caddy turned social media manager, has been getting slammed by ethics watchdogs for a tweet he sent. They say this tweet violated a law dating back to 1939. It's called the Hatch Act. NPR's Sam Sanders tried to figure out if he really broke the law.
SAM SANDERS, BYLINE: The Dan Scavino tweet in question reads as follows.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: (Reading) @realDonaldTrump is bringing auto plants and jobs back to Michigan. @justinamash is a big liability. Hashtag #TrumpTrain, defeat him in primary.
SANDERS: Amash is a Republican himself, part of the House Freedom Caucus. That's a group the president has criticized. A lot of experts said Scavino's tweet violates the Hatch Act. That law basically says employees in the executive branch cannot politic on government time or on the government dime. But here's the thing. Dan Scavino sent that tweet from his personal Twitter account on a Saturday. Noah Bookbinder is the executive director of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, or CREW. CREW filed a complaint about the tweet with the U.S. Office of Special Counsel. Bookbinder says they did so because when Scavino's tweet was sent, his personal Twitter account really felt like a professional Twitter account.
NOAH BOOKBINDER: The picture that came up when he used that is him standing in front of the Oval Office with the presidential flag. He also had a picture on his page, which had Donald Trump speaking in front of the presidential seal. And so essentially, the message that is going out is that this is the White House.
SANDERS: The Office of Special Counsel would not comment on the case, but I talked with Kathleen Clark. She's an ethics law professor at Washington University. She has some questions.
KATHLEEN CLARK: I can't actually tell whether it was a violation of the Hatch Act because I don't know where he was when he tweeted about that congressional campaign.
SANDERS: Clark says with the Hatch Act, it's complicated.
CLARK: If Scavino tweeted from a government office or in a government vehicle and arguably from a government communications device or - although that's - I've not - I'm not sure that there's actually...
JONATHAN TURLEY: The problem with the Hatch Act as it often comes down to sort of a reading of "Green Eggs And Ham." If you're in a boat with a goat then perhaps you're in violation but not if only one of those applies.
SANDERS: Jonathan Turley is a law professor at George Washington University. He says now in our device-filled lives, everything is just a bit more blurry. Most of us are constantly mixing professional and personal communications all day, often just from one device and sometimes with multiple social media accounts.
TURLEY: It's very hard for members of the White House staff to always remember that they have to separate platforms.
SANDERS: Both Turley and Clark think the Office of Special Counsel should update the Hatch Act's guidelines for social media use. Even still, Turley says the act was always hard to enforce, even before Twitter.
TURLEY: The Hatch Act is the most cited statute in the news that is never seemingly enforced. It is almost a standard talking point for political opponents.
SANDERS: There are a handful of recent cases where federal employees were punished for violating the Hatch Act. As for CREW, the group that made the complaint about Dan Scavino's tweet, Noah Bookbinder has this advice.
BOOKBINDER: Essentially, tell them to take it outside, right? If they've got a political fight, they've got to take that outside of their official positions.
SANDERS: Figuring out exactly where official ends and outside begins, that is still up for debate. Sam Sanders, NPR News. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Mercator, or The Merchant, is a Latin comedic play for the early Roman theatre by Titus Maccius Plautus.  It is based on the Greek play Emporos (the Merchant) by the Greek comedy playwright Philemon. It is believed to be among Plautus's first plays, possibly written around 206 BC. The central conflict involves a father who falls in love with a slave girl who is, unbeknownst to the father, his son's lover.

Characters

Charinus—a young merchant
Acanthio—Charinus's slave
Demipho—father of Charinus, also a merchant
Lysimachus—friend of Demipho
Eutychus—friend of Charinus, son of Lysimachus
Pasicompsa—lover and slave of Charinus
Dorippa—wife of Lysimachus
Syra—slave of Lysimachus's family
A cook
Other slaves

Plot

The play takes place in a street in Athens. In the back wall of the stage there are two houses, that of Demipho and his son Charinus, and that of his friend Lysimachus and his son Eutychus. There is a shrine or altar of Apollo near Lysimachus's house.

Prologue

Charinus explains that he had taken after his father's example and decided to become a merchant. He had much success in Rhodes and there fell in love with a slave woman named Pasicompsa. He purchased Pasicompsa and brought her with him to his home in Athens where he now ponders how to prevent his father from discovering his love.

Act I

Acanthio runs to Charinus from the harbor to deliver news that Demipho has been to the ship and seen Pasicompsa. To cover for Charinus, Acanthio had convinced Demipho that Charinus had purchased Pasicompsa to serve as a maid for Charinus's mother. He further tells Charinus that Demipho was flirting with Pasicompsa. Charinus decides he must go to the harbor at once.

Act II

Returning from the harbor, Demipho enters and claims that he has had a dream in which he entrusted a prize goat to his monkey friend, but the monkey lost the goat to a younger goat. He admits to his neighbor Lysimachus that he has fallen in love and feels youthful. Lysimachus leaves and Charinus enters, lamenting his predicament. Demipho then tells Charinus that Pasicompsa is too fine to be a maid and instead insists Pasicompsa be sold. The two begin a bidding war, each claiming to represent imaginary clients. Demipho rejects his son's offers and turns Charinus away from the harbor. When Charinus exits, Demipho reveals his plan to have Lysimachus purchase Pasicompsa on Demipho's behalf. Separately, Charinus sends Eutychus to purchase Pasicompsa himself.

Act III

Lysimachus buys Pasicompsa and is bringing her to Lysimachus's home. He tells her he bought her on behalf of her own master, and Pasicompsa is pleased, believing Lysimachus to mean Charinus. After they exit into Lysimachus's house, Demipho enters and attempts to justify what he believes he has earned with age. Lysimachus returns to Demipho and tells him he must find Pasicompsa elsewhere to stay before Dorippa returns from the countryside. For the time being, the two exit to find a cook for a feast to be held that night. Shortly after, Eutychus tells Charinus that he was too late and Pasicompsa was sold to an unknown buyer. Heartbroken, Charinus decides he will leave Athens, but Eutychus becomes determined to find Pasicompsa.

Act IV

Dorippa returns home from the countryside earlier than expected, and she and Syra (whose name is meant to imply her Syrian ethnicity) discover Pasicompsa in the house, believing her to be Lysimachus's mistress. Lysimachus returns home and tries to explain to his wife that he is only looking after Pasicompsa temporarily, but when the cook hired for that night's feast arrives, Dorippa becomes only more sure of her suspicions and exits into her house crying. Lysimachus dismisses the cook and follows after his wife. Eutychus returns home to find Syra outside, who urges him inside to see his father's mistress. Syra laments the inequalities between the unfaithfulness of men and women.

Act V

Eutychus finds Charinus just as Charinus is about to leave Athens and tells him that he has found Pasicompsa in Eutychus's own home. Charinus exits into the home, and Eutychus remains outside to confront Lysimachus and Demipho. He tells them Pasicompsa was really Charinus's lover and that Demipho should be ashamed for trying to take her for himself. He proposes a law that old men should not interfere in the passionate love of young men, and the three exit into Lysimachus's house.

Metrical structure

The scheme of Mercator is a simple one. If A = iambic senarii, B = other metres, and C = trochaic septenarii, the scheme is as follows: One way of dividing it would be as follows:
ABC, ABC, BAC, AC

Timothy Moore, however, argues that the scene with Pasicompsa (499–543), though only 46 lines, is a metrical unit by itself; he therefore divides the play as follows:
ABC, ABC, B, AC, AC

The Mercator is thought to follow Philemon's original five-act Greek play from which it is adapted fairly closely, although one scholar has suggested that the first act in the Greek play might have ended at 334 rather than 224. Greek plays had a "chorus" or dance interlude between acts to represent the passing of time. Latin plays had no chorus, and the action was continuous. At Pseudolus 573, the -player who was on stage throughout the play played some music to cover the gap; though it is not certain whether this happened regularly.

The "A" passages, in iambic senarii, are believed to have been recited without music. This metre is used for the introduction to the play and also for most of the scenes where the old men are involved. The "B" passages appear to have been songs. In this play various metres are used for the songs: iambic octonarii, mixed with trochaic septenarii and other metres, for the "running slave" scene; mainly bacchiac, but mixed with anapaestic quaternarii and trochaic octonarii, for Charinus's lament;  and iambic septenarii, a metre often used in scenes with prostitutes, for the scene with Pasicompsa. The "C" passages in trochaic septenarii may also have been sung; certainly they were accompanied by music. They tend to round off the episodes in the play.

Demipho sees his son's girlfriend
Act 1.1 (1-110): iambic senarii (109 lines)
The young man Charinus explains to the audience that this play is an adaptation of one called the Emporos ("Merchant") of Philemon. He describes how in early youth he had annoyed his father by wasting a lot of money on a certain courtesan. Eventually his father had sent him to Rhodes to do business, and for two years he had worked there successfully. But shortly before he left he had been invited to a friend's house, and that night had been entertained by a young slave-girl and had fallen in love with her. He had purchased that girl and brought her back. He had left her on the boat with a servant. Suddenly Charinus is alarmed to see the same slave running towards him.

Act 1.2 (111-116): mixed (mostly iambic octonarii but with some tr7, ia4, ia6) (30 lines)
The slave Acanthio arrives running and completely out of breath. Charinus watches him and begs him to say what is the matter. Acanthio seems out of sorts and annoyed.

Act 1.2 (141-224): trochaic septenarii (82 lines)
Eventually, after much hesitation and mutual interruption, Acanthio says he has bad news: Charinus's father had gone on board the ship and seen the girl. Acanthio had told him that Charinus had bought her as a servant for his mother. Charinus is dismayed to hear this; he doesn't want to lie to his father, and doesn't think that his father will believe the tale; but Acanthio assures him that he has already believed it. Charinus hurriedly leaves for the harbour. Acanthio advises him to go by a different route so as not to risk meeting his father.

Demipho plots to have the girl for himself
Act 2.1–2.2 (225-334): iambic senarii (108 lines)
Charinus's father Demipho enters. He recounts a strange dream in which he had bought a she-goat and entrusted it to a monkey to look after; but soon the monkey had come to him complaining that the goat had eaten part of his wife's marriage-portion. Later a billy-goat had come and taken away the she-goat from the monkey and made fun of him. Demipho says that he believes the she-goat must be a beautiful girl he had just seen on the boat his son had arrived in from Rhodes. He had fallen madly in love with this girl.
Demipho's friend and neighbour Lysimachus enters, accompanied by a servant carrying hoes. He tells the servant that he will have a certain troublesome goat castrated. Demipho is alarmed in case these words turn out to be an omen. Lysimachus sends the servant off to his farm with a message to his wife that he will not be at the farm today. Demipho addresses him and tells him he is in love. Lysimachus is surprised. He goes off to the harbour. Demipho watches as his son approaches.

Act 2.3 (335-363): polymetric song (ba, an, tr8) (29 lines)
Charinus enters, singing of his unhappiness. Now that his father has seen the girl, he doesn't think he is going to be able to convince him that she is to be a maid for his mother; he is afraid his father may take her away and sell her overseas.

Act 2.3–2.4 (364-498): trochaic septenarii (130 lines)
Demipho asks Charinus if he is ill, and suggests he should rest, but Charinus says he has business to complete. Next Demipho asks his son about the servant girl he has brought. He says that because she's pretty, she would be unsuitable as a lady's maid. Demipho pretends to see a friend in the distance who is bidding to buy the girl and will pay a high price. Charinus says he also has a friend who is also keen to buy her and is madly in love with her. Charinus raises legal objections; he also says the girl is partly owned by a third party. But Demipho won't listen, and hurries off to the harbour, telling the audience that he will ask his friend Lysimachus to buy the girl.

Charinus is miserable and wishes to kill himself. Suddenly Lysimachus's son Eutychus, a friend of Charinus, comes out of Lysimachus's house. He offers to go to the harbour and trick Charinus's father by outbidding him for the girl. Charinus gladly accepts.

Lysimachus brings Pasicompsa
Act 3.1–3.2 (499-543): (ia7) (46 lines)
Lysimachus returns with the girl, having just purchased her. She tells him her name is Pasicompsa and that she is good at weaving. He says he hasn't purchased her for himself but for another man. For a moment she thinks he means Charinus; but Lysimachus disappoints her by saying that her new owner is old enough to have lost his teeth. He takes her into his house, which is next door to Demipho's.

Act 3.2–3.3 (544-587): iambic senarii (44 lines)
Demipho arrives, congratulating himself on having bought Pasicompsa without his wife or son knowing. He makes as if to go into his house, but changes his mind and heads for Lysimachus's house. Before he can enter, Lysimachus comes out and advises him that in view of his age it might be best to have something to eat before embracing the girl. Demipho agrees and suggests that they hire a cook to prepare a dinner. Lysimachus reminds him that he must also find a lodging since the girl must be gone before Lysimachus's wife returns the next day.

Act 3.4 (588-666): trochaic septenarii (73 lines)
Charinus enters, full of anxiety. Soon Eutychus arrives, bringing the bad news that an unknown old man had already purchased Pasicompsa before Eutychus reached the harbour. Charinus despairs and despite his friend's protests says he is going to go into exile.

Dorippa discovers the girl
Act 4.1–4.6 (667-829): iambic senarii (161 lines)
Lysimachus's wife Dorippa arrives from the country, accompanied by an aged female slave called Syra. After offering a sprig of bay leaves on the altar of Apollo outside the house, she goes in, only to come out at once saying that there is a prostitute in the house. The two women go inside.

Lysimachus arrives back from the market, saying that Demipho is buying food very extravagantly.

Dorippa comes out again, lamenting that her husband has taken a prostitute into the house. She sees Lysimachus and demands to know who the woman is. He is unable to give her a satisfactory answer.

A hired cook arrives with his assistants who are carrying baskets of food. He embarrasses Lysimachus by asking if Dorippa is the woman Lysimachus is in love with; he also reminds Lysimachus that he had said he detested his wife, who was in the country. Lysimachus frantically tells the cook to go away, and has to pay him a drachma to make him do so. The furious Dorippa asks Lysimachus if what the cook had said is true; he denies it, but she orders Syra to go and fetch her father. Then she goes inside. Lysimachus blames Demipho for the embarrassing situation and goes off to find him.

The servant, Syra, comes back saying that Dorippa's father was unavailable. Eutychus enters from the other side telling the audience that he has failed to find the man who bought Pasicompsa. Syra tells him that his mother has returned from the country and found that his father has brought a prostitute into the house. Eutychus goes inside to investigate. Syra, after complaining that men can get away with extra-marital affairs but women cannot, follows him.

Act 5.1–5.4 (830-1026): trochaic septenarii (198 lines)
Charinus comes out of his house, dressed for a journey, and says a final farewell to the door. Meanwhile Eutychus comes out of the house next door, saying a prayer of thanks to the goddess Venus. Charinus, still speaking to himself, says that neither sea nor mountain, nor heat or cold will deter him from looking for his beloved. He makes as if to depart but Eutychus now sees him and calls him back. He informs Charinus that Pasicompsa is in Lysimachus's house. Charinus calls a boy out to bring him a cloak, and hands the boy his travelling cape. But when Eutychus says he can't go inside to see Pasicompsa just yet, Charinus despairs and asks for his travelling cape again. He begins to talk like a madman as if he is voyaging from place to place in the Mediterranean. At last Eutychus calms him down and takes him inside the house.

Lysimachus and Demipho arrive. Lysimachus is explaining what a lot of trouble Demipho has got him into. Eutychus comes out. He tells his father that his wife is no longer angry with him. But he reproaches Demipho for his unseemly behaviour and tells him that he ought to allow his son to keep his mistress. Demipho claims that he didn't realise the girl was Charinus's girlfriend and he hopes his son will forgive him. They go inside. By way of an epilogue Eutychus tells the audience that he wishes to propose a new law: old men should refrain from womanising, but they should allow their sons to do so.

Analysis and Criticism

The play makes use of many stock characters, with which theatergoers would have been familiar. Charinus plays the role of the adulescens amator, Demipho is the senex, and Pasicompsa is the meretrix. Other familiar characters are the "running slave" (Acanthio), the old nurse (Syra), the hired cook, the indignant wife (Dorippa), and the helpful friend () (Lysimachus and Eutychus).

The plot is relatively straightforward and is most easily compared to that of the Casina, which also revolves around a conflict between the adulescens and senex.

The title of the play may refer to either Charinus or Demipho, as both turn out to be successful merchants. It is possible that this ambiguity was intentional. Their mercantile backgrounds seem to carry over into the rest of their lives; in many lines, Charinus and Demipho speak about Pasicompsa in language characterizing her as a commodity to be traded, rather than as a person.

Pasicompsa, whose name translates to "pretty in every respect," is the central point of contention in the play, though she is only onstage for fewer than 5% of the play's lines. She has little control over her own fate, which is dictated by men. Even though Charinus appears to be in love with her, Pasicompsa's non-citizen status means she and Charinus would never be allowed to marry, thus destining Pasicompsa to a life of being passed between owners.

Q: Getting Active Directory Domain Services Folder and/or DistingiushedName I'm new to scripting with Powershell for Active Directory, and attempting to pull out users in a list and enumerating their groups; however when I do so the resultant information contains just the name of the group which is duplicated under many differently named OUs. Looking at them in AD Users and Computers under the Member Of tab shows the Name and the Active Directory Domain Services Folder which contains exactly the differentiating info I need, or alternately I could use the DistinguishedName which isn't as nicely formatted for readability but would also work.
Problem with simplified examples: If a group name is the same across different OUs (like "TestUsers") then the script currently dumps multiple group names without differentiation "TestUsers, TestUsers, TestUsers" instead of showing the underlying OUs in a clean format "Michigan\TestUsers, NewYork\TestUsers" or Distinguished Name format "CN=TestUsers,CN=Michigan,etc";"CN=TestUsers,CN=NewYork,etc".
$alist = "Name`tAccountName`tDescription`twhenCreated`tAcctEnabled`tGroups`n"
$userlist = Get-ADUser -SearchBase "OU=Service Accounts,OU=Information Systems,DC=conteso,DC=local" -Filter * -Properties * | Select-Object -Property Name,SamAccountName,Description,EmailAddress,LastLogonDate,Manager,Title,Department,Company,whenCreated,Enabled,MemberOf | Sort-Object -Property Name
$userlist | ForEach-Object {
    $grps = $_.MemberOf | Get-ADGroup | ForEach-Object {$_.Name} | Sort-Object
    $arec = $_.Name,$_.SamAccountName,$_.Description,$_.whenCreated,$_.Enabled
    $aline = ($arec -join "`t") + "`t" + ($grps -join "`t") + "`n"
    $alist += $aline
}
$alist | Out-File C:\psscripts\service_accounts_groups.csv

Any help is appreciated!

A: I agree that DistinguishedName already has this information but I think it is easier to just use Get-AdGroup to get some friendlier information. A little string manipulation on the CanonicalName of the group, while not as efficient maybe, would be easier to work with.
$grps = $_.MemberOf | Get-AdGroup -Properties CanonicalName | ForEach-Object{
    $CN = ($_.CanonicalName -Split "/")
    "{0}\{1}" -f $CN[-2],$CN[-1]
}

or as a one liner if you prefer.
$grps = $_.MemberOf | Get-AdGroup -Properties CanonicalName | ForEach-Object{$CN = ($_.CanonicalName -Split "/"); "{0}\{1}" -f $CN[-2],$CN[-1]}

What we do is take the CanonicalName which can be considered the path of the object in Active Directory. Since you only wanted the parent container we split up the path and join only the last two parts. The group object and its container.
Same result could come from just getting the second last element from CanonicalName and appending the group name to it. Might look at little nicer
$grps = $_.MemberOf | Get-AdGroup -Properties CanonicalName | ForEach-Object{"{0}\{1}" -f ($_.CanonicalName -Split "/")[-2],$_.Name}

A: Since the "$_.memberof" property already has the Distinguished name, you don't need to pass it to Get-Adgroup again. so simply replace your $grps line like this
$grps = $_.MemberOf -replace "CN=","" -replace "OU=","" -replace "DC=","" -replace ",","\" | Sort-Object

Or if you still want to proceed with your approach, use it with distinguishedname property instead of name property - like this (with the text replace)
$grps = $_.MemberOf | Get-ADGroup | ForEach-Object {$_.DistinguishedName -replace "CN=","" -replace "OU=","" -replace "DC=","" -replace ",","\"} | Sort-Object

Or as suggested by Matt in the comment, simply use canonicalname property.
$grps = $_.MemberOf | Get-ADGroup -Properties canonicalname | select -ExpandProperty canonicalname

Cheers, GJ

Jean-Gabriel Periot played his collage films at ATA last night. Poetic and unnerving, the images rain onto the screen; they layer on top of one another. He has pulled them from the archives, but they look different now, arresting. I stared as Hiroshima evaporated and rebuilt. I watched the faces of the Civil Rights Movement, not the famous ones, but regular people, in quick succession and with powerful music, like an advertising campaign. For what? The subjects are political, but these are not protest films. They are about the act of seeing. The films pull these images out of their context and they force us to look.
I was at an opening recently and a friend said, "I don't like political art." What an absurd thing to say, I thought. What you mean is not that you don't like political art, but that you don't like didactic art. People are so touchy about being told what to think, about being made to feel guilty. These films are not guilty of that, and yet they call our attention to the politics. They put us into a political arena, and this is significant. We are living in a time of widespread apathy, when the political landscape looks so bleak that artists have either holed up in the personal or joined the camp of some topical issue. We are in the era of the social justice film.
Periot's work is neither topical nor personal. It makes space for a political comment but it remains open. The title track, We Are Winning Don't Forget, shows simply that we live in a state of conflict. It shows the violence, and it seems to ask, to what end?
In the Q&A after the screening, Jean-Gabriel made fun of two of the films, because they were simplistic, because they had a message wrapped up in their visual trickery. Those films were jokes, he explained. The serious work has no message; it ends in the question.
The images are not new. We have seen them before, but always with a voiceover, a lulling commentary that prevents us from looking straight at the pictures; we see them through the prism of our culture. I had seen the post-war footage of French women being shaved in the public square, but there was always a narrative, a historical context that formed a buffer for my emotion. When you remove the context, the power of the image is raw.
The last film in the series is a narrative short, with weighted and deliberate acting that threatens to drag the bottom out of it. The style makes a sharp departure from the earlier work, yet in its tension and its language, this last film is the key. With circular and deliberate concentration, it offers instructions for this peculiar way of seeing: one must watch the stream of pictures with eyes open, with wonder, and with forgiveness.

The best ghost tour ever !! Highly recommended!! Many different stories told during the tour! Freaked me out big time!!!
Probably one of my favorite things we did while in Charleston. Great history stories! I would suggest taking a carriage ride as well if you love history!
Our tour guide was spectacular! Seriously hair raising stories. He was an excellent story teller. You could tell he wasn't just a tour guide hired to tell stories. Ghost stories were his thing! Super knowledgeable. Highly recommend!
My family spent the weekend in Charleston, and one of the things my teenage son really wanted to do was a ghost tour. While we were driving home talking about our weekend, we agreed this was definitely a highlight. My teenage son LOVED it, I also have an easily-spooked 11 year old who enjoyed it, but did get a big spooked by a few of the stories. I enjoyed Mike's storytelling style and would definitely recommend this tour. Thanks!!
"Best Haunted Tour in Charleston"
We took the haunted tour with Mike Brown and we were so happy we did! His stories were interesting and one of the best parts was the pictures had had to go along with the stories. Also, his personal experiences and stories were so interesting and put a real spin on each of the stops. Mike was an awesome guide with great insider knowledge and I would love to take another tour with him. We actually took a second ghost tour with a big company and really wish we had just stuck with Mike. He is absolutely a must-see tour guide!
My husband and I were in Charleston last weekend and had a tour hosted by Mike Brown. His stories combined both historical and spooky events and was very well done! He also hosts a cool podcast; highly recommend!
This tour was a great mix of Charleston history and spooky occurrences. I loved his story telling. I would have enjoyed visiting more places. I would recommend him to friends.
Mike Brown was a great, informative tour guide, and you can tell that he is passionate about his craft. His stories were information, spooky, and based in history. I learned a lot and was able to see Charleston from a different angle, which was fun!
We had Mike Brown as our guide and he was awesome. I was sufficiently creeped out which is the way it should be on a ghost tour. The stories told were interesting and made my want to learn more about the history of Charleston. Loved it.
This chilling and fascinating ghost tour was spooky enough to feel frightened, but not so much as to be traumatizing. The stories our tour guide told were so intriguing and he has an excellent story-telling voice, tone, and speed. Can't miss!
Mike Brown was our tour guide for a walking ghost tour of Charleston and did a great job! My wife and I were lucky enough to be the only sign ups for the night, so it was great having that one on one experience to ask questions and get as much info as we could take in. We went to some very cool spots and Mike was extremely knowledgeable and kept our interest the entire tour. I would 100% recommend this tour to anyone going to Charleston interested in a ghost tour!
Mike Brown is as educated as he is interested in the topics of his tours. As participants of the Ghost Tour, we were blown away and chilled to the bone with the stories told of the ghosts haunting the homes and buildings of historic Charleston. We will be checking out his podcast, Pleasing Terrors, as well as other tours he has to offer in this historic city. A+ in our books.
We enjoyed the ghost tour. he was very knowledge of the area and history of charleston. made sure that everyone was involved. Went with my parents, husband and 3 teenage girls. we all had a good time. would recommend.
My husband and I went on the 9:30 ghost tour. Our guide seemed very knowledgeable and a great storyteller. He seemed to have researched the stories he told, rather than just told the same stories he has heard, which I really appreciated. He also showed pictures at each place that added to the spookiness. I enjoy doing different types of tours in historical cities, and this was one of the best I have been on!
This was our first time in Charleston and thought a walking tour would be a good way to tour the city. Joyce, the tour guide was knowledgeable, enthusiastic and punctual.
She gave us photo tips which were greatly appreciated. We would recommend this tour to anyone.
"Our trip to Charleston SC"
The guide was very interesting. He led a small group around the city to different locations and described an unusual event that occurred there. I am not going to give anything away but the information and presentation made believing in ghosts not so unusual.
The first ghost tour we've been on where my daughter and I both had that tingling feeling on the back of our necks! I believe it helped that we had done a walking tour and had visited a few of the places prior to the tour. Knowing that we had been in these places and now he's telling truly eerie stores about it added to our experience immensely so I highly recommend that. My review is later than I normally would post it. We did this in early August and chose the latest tour to make sure it was dark and no little ones so that there wouldn't need to do much editing (not that he does that anyway, but we just wanted as scary an experience as we could make it). Well, we did have some little ones on our tour which leads me to two things - Mike handled this well (I'm sure he's completely used to it), but they were distracting to us. Funny thing is that I have teens and all of us were annoyed. It may have had something to do with the gum smacking. I wouldn't normally complain about kids(I have them - just older now), but this was late and my kids would have been in bed at this time of day at that age. Well, despite that, this was our favorite ghost tour ever. Wish it had been longer, but maybe that's because it flew by because we were having such a good time.
"Fun and interesting ghost tour"
I booked the 7:30pm Sunday night tour, along with my two teenaged daughters. Mike, our tour guide, provided excellent history along with creepy stories from in and around downtown Charleston. The tickets were easily booked online, and very clear directions were provided for meeting up with the tour. It was a super fun way to spend an evening.
"Ghost walk with Mike Brown"
We took the 7:30 tour with Mike and it was a great tour. His knowledge of Charleston and ghost/history is unmatched! Can't wait to get the photos developed!
"Great storytelling and very interesting"
I went with friends. I have been on another night tour of the graveyards, but this was different. I like that if you book a tour with Mike, Mike is your guide, not a random employee. Mike is a great storyteller and had photos and context for each story. It is obvious he enjoys what he does. This is not a tour about a bunch of historical fact, its some great stories about a few places. Good fun!
"Old charleston Walking history tour"
I had a thoroughly interesting experience on my tour. Ruth was knowledgeable and top notch tour guide. Tons of info presented in an interesting and professional manner. Would totally recommend.
"Fantastic tour with great stories"
Mike Brown is great storyteller and also had many pictures to show us on his evening ghost tour. He even kept things interesting by telling a story as it's been known in the past only to surprise us with a twist in the story after new information was discovered! He also does a free podcast which includes stories from Charleston as well as stories from other places too.
Mike Brown, the tour guide, is not just doing a job--he's into ghosts! He really investigates his subject and obviously loves it. He brought us around to several haunts and told us about them. I had goosebumps many times! His photos of ghosts at these haunted locations really enhanced the experience. I'd highly recommend this tour--it was creep but not too scary.
Mike Brown knows how to tell a great ghost story! My teenage son and I went on his ghost tour and really enjoyed it. We learned new things about Charleston and got to see a side of it we never knew. The stories were backed up with solid historical research and told in a scary (but not too scary way). I would highly recommend doing this tour and then following it up with Mike's podcast (Charleston related episodes) - Pleasing Terrors.
Amazing stories that bring together historical Charleston with supernatural Charleston. We took the 730 Saturday night tour and we're a bit skeptical, but highly recommend to anyone looking to learn something about the town while keeping an open mind..
We did the 7:30 pm ghost tour while we were in town on vacation. Mike Brown was our guide. Not only has he been doing tours for 19 yrs but he is so captivating and passionate about what he does... amazing time.
I did the 7:30 p.m. Ghost Tour last night and had a wonderful time! Mike is super knowledgeable about Charleston and the walking tour was the perfect mix of spooky and historical. I highly recommend this tour!
Had a great time walking around learning some of Charlestons creepy history. Would recommend. Michael Brown was awesome.
My wife and I spent a very interesting and enjoyable couple of hours on this ghost tour recently. Mike, our guide, certainly knew his stuff and was very interesting, informative and a great storyteller. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would highly recommend this tour.
Very enjoyable and informative tour of Charleston history. Mr Stiles was very entertaining and knowledgeable. Learning how the Civil War played out in Charleston brought history alive.
Mike does an awesome job! He did an excellent job of mixing history, local lore, and personal experience to provide a very engaging experience. He approaches his tour from a very grounded place, does not try to "convince" anyone, but takes the time to research the ghost reports and tries to figure out the untold historically-documented stories behind each tale. Mike also includes pictures on his tablet to show you what building looked like, photos of the people allegedly haunting the town, and photos that visitors have taken on his tours and sent to him. Very well incorporated into the tour, and never felt forced. He has also been doing this for forever, and really knows his stuff.
My wife and I spent a couple of days between Christmas and New Year's Eve in Charleston (first time). We had toured on our own, but decided to book a guided tour in addition, it was well worth it. The group was just us and another couple, very pleasant. Our guide Dennis presented a great mix of very interesting and also entertaining background on all aspects imaginable: history, architecture, politics, social affairs, ... He answered any imaginable question knowledgeable, and in great detailed. I can absolutely recommend this tour. We choose the walking tour over a horse carriage tour and that was definitely the right choice, we saw a lot, learned a lot, subjects were very flexible, and the pace adjustable - I would think that is a big advantage of walking compared to carriage. Goof job Dennis, Thank You.
First time in Charleston, I learned a lot about the city and had a great time doing it. The guild Micheal Brown was very informative.
We learned that during the off season, Charleston is pretty sleepy by around 8:30, so we scheduled a ghost tour with Old Charleston Tours to have something fun to do after hours. We chose the 9:30, and luckily, it was still quite warm and very pleasant. Mike is a GREAT story teller, and makes every story sound like historical fact, whether or not you are a believer in the supernatural. It was also a cool way to learn some fun facts about Charleston that we didn't get on the carriage tour. Definitely recommend.
Denny took time to get to know us so he could tailor the tour to fit our interests. We were impressed by his knowledge of local, state and national history that he presented in a charming way. It was our first day in Charleston, and we felt like this tour gave us a good grounding in the city and the important sites. We thoroughly enjoyed this personalized tour!
My wife and I booked the 9:30 pm pleasing terrors ghost tour with Mike Brown. We had a long day and around time to leave I thought about blowing it off. My wife convinced me otherwise and we went. It was a perfect night for a ghost tour; cool with winds blowing. Mike was a master story teller who was convincing in his belief. The stories were intriguing and they made the trip. AT one point, my wife shouted out that there was a flickering light in a window (probably and faulty electrical problem -- or was it??). In any event, this was one of the highlights on the trip and I am glad I went.
The guide was excellent! I honestly felt he believed in the ghosts he was talking about. I got the chills a couple of times. It was a fun evening.
Hubby and I took four teenagers, ranging from 13 to 17. They all loved it! Enjoyed it more than a ghost tour we did last year in Savannah. Filled with interesting fun facts about Charleston's spooky past. Mike is an excellent story teller, really capturing his audience. Get a bottle of water before starting the tour. It's an hour and a half and you'll need it! Time flies though on the tour cause it is so very enjoyable. Highly recommend!
We went on a 7:30 ghost tour with Mike Brown. His ghost stories were very entertaining, and I liked the way he kept connecting the personal accounts of ghosts with the history of the buildings and the area. Even our kids (11 and 15) enjoyed the tour. Our group was a manageable size, about 16, so we had no problem hearing Mike or seeing the pictures he displayed.
Our adult family of 6 went on the 9:30 Ghost Tour. It was a great family activity and Mike was a great tour guide. I was expecting silly stuff but it was very interesting and informative.
There were three of us that went on the 7:30 pm ghost tour led by Mike. He's a great tour guide and we really enjoyed the experience. It was an easy walk and Mike kept the pace just right, moving from place to place quickly but not hurriedly. The stories were on topic, relevant to the place we were at and interesting. Although it's ghost stories, they aren't over the top and they all come from personal experiences of people he's met. I would recommend taking some bug spray though as the no-seeums were out in force. I would take another tour with Mike anytime.
We had a wonderful time on the tour last night. The stories were great. Mike did a fabulous job. He is a great storyteller. I would highly recommend to anyone who is a history buff.
This was a nod to the desires of the girlfriend. Mike was engaging and very informative. I appreciated his approach and his research. I think the route was well thought out and well lit. She was happy, therefore I am very happy and appreciate the effort from Mike.
This was such a great tour! Although it was probably the coldest night in Charleston, Mike's tour kept us on the tips of our toes with his fascinating ghost stories. What I liked was that not only was he knowledgeable about Charleston history, he also shared lots of stories about happenings on his tours, as well as stories his tour members have told him. All around such a fun thing to do in Charleston and thoroughly freaky. A must!
I've been on at least a dozen ghost tours in six states. This is by far the best one yet!
Mike Brown was the guide. He has a vast knowledge of the history of Charleston. He is funny and engaging, a truly gifted storyteller. The tour covers about a mile in an hour and a half and is an easy walk. You see some beautiful old buildings along the way. The stories are plausible and have some basis in fact. It is a great way to spend an evening.
Our Old Charleston guide on the Halloween ghost tour was Mike and he was fantastic!! We walked along many interesting areas of Charleston. Not only did Mike do his own research but you could see he had a passion about this town! He shared some stories about his own encounters as well!
This tour was historical but he brought in enough "scare" to make this one of the best Halloweens ever!!
Mike Brown is a fabulous storyteller. My kids, aged 11 and 13, were thoroughly engaged the whole time. The historical tidbits were great. Definitely an excellent walking tour.
We took the 9:30 pm ghost tour with our girls, ages 16 and 10 and were pleasantly surprised. I was a little leery prior to the tour, worrying that it might be cheesy or overly scary for our girls, but Mike was a very good guide and included some humor along with the stories of strange happenings. He really did a good job including factual information about Charleston history and explained that he researched the stories that he told as best he could, then retold them to us and it was up to us to draw our own conclusions. I was also pleasantly surprised at how safe I felt walking around town that late at night. There were tons of people out and about coming and going from restaurants and shows and we didn't see anything sketchy that made us fear for our safety.
My kids loved this tour, we all loved seeing and hearing about "old" Charleston. We went back the next day to explore the graveyard where some of the ghost stories began. So fun!
Took the 7:30pm ghost tour with Mike on 7/8/15. The 9:30pm tours I was hoping for were already sold out for the week. Decided to try this 7:30pm tour instead of one from a different group because of the positive reviews on Trip Advisor. We were not disappointed - our family really enjoyed the tour. Mike's ghost stories were interesting and his delivery is great! Got to learn some interesting Charleston history along the way. Really happy with our choice.
Mike Brown conducted this tour and he is a phenomenal story teller. There were people of all ages on the tour and Mike has truly done his research to ferret out the "facts" or at least theories behind the history of each sightings. I appreciated the fact that we didn't go into any creepy, scary buildings and nothing jumped out at us! It's a good 90 minutes with one bathroom stop in a hotel.
Very knowledgable guide gave us a wonderful ghost walk.
There are lots of different companies that offer ghost tours in Charleston, but I can't recommend Old Charleston Walking Tours enough. My friend and I did a 9:30 PM tour with Mike Brown, and he was fantastic - not only is he a phenomenal storyteller, but I could tell that he had also done extensive research and really knew what he was talking about. By the end of the tour, we had learned a lot of interesting tidbits about Charleston history, got to see some really cool parts of downtown we had missed while exploring on our own, and - most importantly - were sufficiently spooked. Mike's tour was fantastic and we absolutely loved our experience!
Michael Brown is a great guide and he really knows how to give you the creeps! Totally in a good way. :-). The stories of possible haunting a were very interesting and got all of our wheels turning. My tween and my teens sons were creeped out!They enjoyed the walk enough to be talking about it back at the hotel that night. We were happy with our tour, even in the rain.
I purchased a groupon ticket to attend the ghost tour with my husband. Mike Brown the guide did an excellent job. He shared people's experiences & encounters with ghosts and then historical facts that back these events & occurrences. He also shared fun facts about the city which I would have never known. Very well organized & informative. I would go back with my family again without a groupon voucher!
I've lived here my whole life, and so when some family friends came into town wanting a ghost tour and I decided to go with them, I honestly I wasn't expecting to have such a wonderful time. The way in which Mark Brown told the stories, his voice and pitch changes accompanied by vivid descriptions and spooky backdrops left you wanting even more as the tour came to an end. It really made me fall in love with downtown Charleston again, walking the old streets in the cool nights air, hearing about the past. I would definitely recommend anyone from a local to a tourist singing up with Mark and exploring Charleston's haunted side.
Among the many ghost tour options we chose this one based on the various reviews and were most definitely not disappointed. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and had a great command of the audience's attention. He knew the stories and history inside and out and was able to wrap all the tales together while even including some fun facts along the way. A member of our group had been on a different ghost tour the night before and said this one was 10x better. I would highly recommend this tour!
Old Charleston Walking Tours guide Mike Brown provided an excellent ghost tour. Mike is very knowledgeable of Charleston haunts and history. He is a Charleston native and has been providing tours for many years. He has the perfect voice for telling creepy ghost stories. My favorite story was about the Charleston jail. We also stopped in front of a locked cemetery gate to hear a story. The next day when the gates were open we walked through the cemetery. It was overgrown and looked abandoned. Mike is happy to answer any questions you have throughout the tour. You won't be disappointed in this ghost tour. Thanks for a great tour!
What a great adventure! Had a blast following our guide (I think his name was Mike) around Charleston. Very Intelligent and informed tour, And he had the perfect bold, somewhat creepy story-teller voice to go along with it! Great tour for the whole family. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
On our second trip to Charleston, my husband and I opted to try a Ghost Tour. I chose the 930pm starting time, figuring that there wouldn't be any small children, and it was apt to be scarier. Mike Brown, tour guide extraordinaire, was so interesting and made the tour lots of fun. His stories were filled with lots of history and were spot on informative. He piqued our interest in so many places, that my husband and I made sure to revisit some of them the next day on our own. Mike carries an IPAD and will add to the experience with photos, enlarged and passed around for all to see. A not to be missed experience!
We did the haunted walking tour at 730 pm. Mike was a great storyteller and knew how to handle a large group. His voice was loud enough to hear, and he made sure that others could navigate around us. I also loved that had had pictures and connections to history Mike was able to provide.
I would not recommend this tour for kids. The stories weren't too scary, but the one kid on our tour seemed pretty bored. His mother kept trying to stop picking up rocks and climbing on walls surrounding the cemeteries.
We have been to South Carolina several times, however have not taking a walking tour before. We were amazed at the history of Old Charleston. Mike our tour guide was very knowledgeable. He answered our questions and very accommodating. This tour is well worth your time. You will not be disappointed.
If your looking for a serious tour guide this is the tours to reserve. We took his ghost tour, and not only did he tell ghost tours , he back them up with historical information. He talked loudly for everyone to hear and was respectful to those that were walking on the side walk. You could tell he has a passion for the job. When we finished the tour, I was left hanging on for more information. I would definitely go with this company again.He didn't try to pressure you into believing, but left it up to your thinking. Mike Brown was our tour guide.
Mike really gets into his presentation of the stories he tells. He walked us around Charleston to several different locations for almost 90 minutes and really did the stories justice by building the suspense. Mike is very knowledgeable and supports his claims with actual events or facts from research on the events/places. I would definitely recommend his tour to anyone!
If you read ALL the reviews, he gets a 5 circle rating for a reason, he is worth it! Mike was born and raised in Charleston. His stories are all based on research, not just off the wall stories! I will never forget John and Lavinia Fisher, Zoe St. Amand of Sue Howard Hardy. Awesome stories, he enjoys questions and interaction, so speak up. Everyone agrees, when the tour is over, there is a sense of loss. Mike Brown could have a 4 hour tour and and it would end too soon!
If you are looking for a great ghost tour, look no further! Mike Brown was our tour guide for the 7:30 p.m. tour on Wednesday, May 15th. He was an excellent guide who not only told us some of Charleston's creepier side, but he also talked about general history of the area. Ghost tales were connected with historical events seamlessly and the tour was a great blend of spooky and informative. Mike spoke in a loud, clear voice so that no one had to strain to hear him. Not only did we get a great tour, but we also got ideas for sight-seeing on the rest of our trip based off of some of the information that he shared with us. When the tour was over, I was left wanting to hear more stories! I highly recommend this tour. It was money well spent.
Mike was our guide for the 9:30 pm tour on Wednesday, May 15. He is not only a great storyteller, i actually found myself believing it! The town in and of itself is a perfect setting for tales of the ghost of Lavinia Fisher, the first white woman hung in the state of South Carolina as well as a serial killer. Also, the story of Edgar Allan Poe visiting the grave of his love intereste Annabelle Lee Ravenel was intriguing. Will do again when we visit again! Thanks MIKE!
Did a ghost tour with Mike on 5/13 and loved it! We chose Old Charleston Walking Tours because they were advertised to be pet friendly. They couldn't have been more accommodating of our lab. We enjoyed learning more about Charleston's history. Talking later, we agreed it was the best money we had spent during our trip in Charleston.

Q: Execute a Command Once if find Matches Files I've got a script that uses find. So far I've been fine using -exec to get what I need done, but I'm running into a bit of a roadblock now.
If files are found, I want to execute a command once (so -exec {} \; isn't what I'm looking for), and it's a command that doesn't take any files as parameters, so -exec {} \+ won't work (or at least it doesn't with the version of find on my FreeBSD 10.1 system.
What's the best way to go about doing this?

A: You need to pipe the filenames to xargs.
I think I missed an important clue here: your command is not interested in the filenames. So you just want to run a command if files were found? In that case, you could try something like:
find -name nosuchfile | if read; then echo "hello"; fi;

A: The -quit primary can be used in conjunction with -exec, -quit is present in both the BSD and GNU find implementations.  The example below is constructed to ensure that find terminates after the first match, regardless of the exit status of the utility.
find path... [expression] \( -exec utility \; -quit -or -quit \)

DHS: New outpatient infusion clinic opening for COVID-19 patients
By FOX6 News Digital Team
COVID-19 in Wisconsin
COVID-19 alternate care facility at Wisconsin State Fair Park
WEST ALLIS, Wis. - The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) announced on Friday, Dec. 18 that the Alternate Care Facility (ACF) in West Allis will be opening an outpatient Bamlanivimab infusion clinic on Tues., Dec. 22. The clinic will be open seven days a week, except for Christmas Day and New Years' Day.
A news release says Bamlanivimab was authorized for emergency use by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in November for the treatment of mild to moderate COVID-19 in adult and pediatric patients.
Bamlanivimab works by helping to bridge the gap between a new virus entering the body and the body's creation of antibodies to fight it off. This drug contains man-made antibodies that mimic the antibodies present in patients who recover from COVID-19 and could give the body more time to learn how to make its own antibodies. The goal of infusing Bamlanivimab is to limit the amount of virus in a patient's body to help prevent serious illness from COVID-19.
The release says the ACF Bamlanivimab Infusion Clinic will have the capacity to serve up to 84 patients per week, and will be set up in a separate area, distant from the ACF's inpatient area. The ACF infusion clinic will only accept patients directly referred from a health system or individual hospital. No walk-in appointments will be offered.
This treatment option is recommended only for people with COVID-19 who are over the age of 12, have had mild to moderate symptoms for 10 days, and preferably 4 days, or less, and are at high risk of getting very sick from COVID-19. Banlanivimab is not for people who are already hospitalized or require oxygen therapy due to COVID-19. The ACF infusion clinic will only be treating adult patients, with priority given to those 65 and older or meeting other criteria putting them at high risk of developing serious illness.

Queer Women and Street Harassment: A Complicated Issue
Posted on October 3, 2014 by Gender & Society
by Laura S. Logan
Photo from Stop Street Harassment. Used with permission (click here).
In the recent Atlantic article, "The Quiet Crisis Among Queer Women", author Shannon Keating tells readers that despite clear personal benefits, queer women are not fairing well in the larger social world. Keating presents a cornucopia of statistical evidence – most from a portion of the 2014 Gallup-Healthways Well-Being survey – that indicates that queer women are not experiencing the same quality of life as gay men or straight men and women. There is a lot of information in this article but of particular interest to me – as an activist and scholar who focuses on violence against marginalized people and social movements – was the discussion about "community involvement, safety and security."
According to the author, "where queer men assess their communities with close to as much contentedness as straight men, queer women feel less connected to where they live than their straight female counterparts. Just 31 percent of queer women feel they are thriving in terms of community involvement, safety, and security, a full 9 percent less than straight women." Readers are then offered a partial explanation for less community involvement, safety and security: Street harassment.
The Atlantic article presents an opportunity to examine street harassment more closely, and with greater attention to overlapping inequalities. In my research, I find queer women's experiences of street harassment are shaped by their racial identity and by the harasser's assumptions about their gender and sexual orientation. When the targets of street harassment occupy more than one marginalized identity, such as being queer and being a woman of color, they cannot know if their harasser will focus on their race, gender, and/or sexual orientation. For people on the margins, because they are targeted in so many different ways and their harassers are motivated by so many different prejudices (racism, sexism, transphobia, homophobia, etc.), street harassment lives around every corner.
Thus many victims of street harassment – particularly queer women of color – expect to be harassed. And beyond the expectations of street harassment are fears of further violence: What might be next? Will the harasser do more than verbally violate me? Is rape, assault or even murder a possibility? And for queer women of color, Will I be arrested if I defend myself? The murder of Sakia Gunn, the assault and criminalization of the New Jersey 7, and incidents such as the one in San Francisco where a rape victim was identified as lesbian when the perpetrators noticed a rainbow sticker on her car, suggest these fears are not unfounded.
It is important to look below the surface of street harassment to see why it might influence queer women's community involvement and sense of safety and security. Some incidents of homophobic violence against members of queer communities begin with street harassment (here) but research suggests that gay men who are victims of hate crime are often targeted when they are in gay spaces, such as gay-borhoods and near gay bars. Those who attack gay men often premeditate the attack and operate in groups to outnumber a lone gay man or a gay male couple.
However, frequently when lesbians are victims of anti-gay harassment and violence, they are attacked in everyday spaces such as parking lots and college campuses (here and here). Perpetrators who target lesbians are most often men and alone; however, the lesbian is often not alone but is with another woman or more than one other woman. Typically the attacker is a man but he has not gone to a gay area to find his lesbian victim/s and he hasn't premeditated his verbal, physical or sexual assault. Rather, the harasser has chosen to act in that moment, likely as he interprets visual cues that for him identify the women as queer. In other words, violence in public space against queer women surfaces in the moment – as does street harassment.
Feminists, queer scholars, and activists have long argued that street harassment and violence against gay men and queer and straight women is about policing gender and sexuality, and that the "police" are almost always heterosexual men. But the pattern here, the difference in the characteristics associated with attacks on gay men versus attacks on lesbians, suggests that harassment and violence against queer women (and indeed all women and queer individuals) is linked to rape culture where the male gaze conveys and embodies domination, entitlement and ownership.
Through street harassment lesbians are being disciplined for (among other things) having the temerity to place themselves out of the harasser's figurative sexual reach, a violation of heterosexual gender norms. White male supremacy and rape culture intersect and dictate that queer women of color have even less permission than queer white women to occupy public (i.e. male) space and that men are even more entitled to discipline them for attempting to place their bodies outside the reach of heterosexual men. In fact, as Dorothy Roberts and others have aptly illustrated, disciplining the bodies of women of color has a long unbroken history in the U.S.
The links between privilege, oppression, street harassment and violence complicate the risks of being targeted. Moreover, the specter of violence and street harassment is pervasive. It is no wonder that queer women are not experiencing "community involvement, safety and security" in equal measure to straight women or gay men, and that queer women of color are at most risk of not feeling safe and secure. I would argue that queer women's perceptions are based on what they are experiencing in public spaces – harassment, fear of harassment, and fear of violence – leading to alienation from their communities and consequently to a lower quality of life.
Street harassment is a complicated issue. It is imperative that we be mindful of the ways that overlapping inequalities shape street harassment and potential solutions. For instance, we can easily predict that most laws to curb street harassment will disproportionately criminalize men of color – and we should steadfastly resist solutions tied to institutional racism. As the social movement against street harassment grows, we need to build coalitions that are led by women of color and others who are most marginalized. We need to find solutions that don't further perpetuate existing structural inequalities; solutions that benefit all groups by reimagining public space as everyone's space.

What a truly well-written article! It flows so well! This is probably the best piece of writing I've read in ages (and I read every day).
I'm not a woman of color, but I am a lesbian and especially when I lived in the city, I got harassed in the street by men (of all races). That said, the worst thing is always when men expect me to justify my sexuality to them, as if I need permission to be a lesbian, or as if I need them to acknowledge it in order for it to be real. All I want is respect and to be able to live my life without constant fear of being disrespected, harassed, or assaulted. I don't think that's too much to ask. Our society really needs to press forward so that every person can feel that freedom and safety, not just heterosexual white males.

I walked with Him, quietly waiting for you to show up as He said you would. I was patient, and sometimes not. But He never faultered, not even once. He held my heart even in the moments where the only indication of His promises coming true were His words in the darkness.
Then, just as He said you would be, you were there standing in front of me. A breathing miracle, a tangible expression of His promise kept.
Our story is epic. It's unlike anything I've ever heard, and yet it's the everyday miracles, the simplicity, that unveils the greatest glory.
You asked if we could go to church together. And we did. Because if He's the one with the plan then of course that's the first date.
A month later we were baptized together, and I'll remind you to this day that it was there, under the water, that He made us one. The covenant was forged in the fire of waiting for His promise, but there, beneath the water as He cleansed the last of the ashes from our lives, He weaved the last threads of my soul to yours. I'll never forget the sky that night, the way it seemed to be on fire with the glory of His promises.
About a week after that, you changed everything. It was a Tuesday, because the best things happen on Tuesdays. You sat on my couch next to me. You leaned over and quietly said, "If I had a ring would you marry me?" I said, "If you had a washer from your garage I would." And then you held up a small black box. In it was a ring, something we had never talked about, and yet it was perfection, as though He had been saving it from my childhood dreams.
I had become the princess of the story, His princess, and yours.
A week later, on a Tuesday at 3:45pm, we stood in a marble building before an old southern judge and made it legal. I expected some generic ceremony, the legal question and answer. But He was there again, interweaved through the words, the promises. It was glory.
And then the whole world knew what I had known so long, you are the only man in my universe.
I could write a million words that tell our story. The story of yet another baby boy, one I didn't expect so quickly. But who was the joy that glued our family together. The story of school conferences and band concerts. Of camping trips and surprise adventures to the zoo. Countless hours spent serving the Kingdom alongside each other.
We have loved hard. We have fought fiercely for our love and fought the raging battles of old wounds.
I have never for a moment carried any illusion of your perfection, or my own. We are gloriously flawed. We have faced more in these last (almost) four years than most marriages do in ten. And He has been there each and every step of the way. Reminding us that we are a promise, His promise and ours.
Just this week you spent an entire night in the emergency room with our dimpled boy and his broken arm. And then you brought him home to me and went off to work with no sleep. Just because that's who you are. Everyday you are more and more my hero. In the hardest moments and in the quiet moments where you wrap your arms around one of our boys and make the world a good place. I still smell your shirts when I do laundry and wait everyday for your smile to return into view.
None of it has been easy. But He never promised easy. He promised good. And loving you has been worth every second of the wait. Every struggle has made us more. We have turned toward Him and toward each other in the darkest moments, and we have found the light and the warmth of a love that defies the capability of words.
You are a dream that I fought hard for the courage to believe in, and you have made every dream I didn't know I had, truth.
The greatest gift of your love is that it's His love.
Whether we're deep in the trenches or in the spaces where glory is easy to find, it's always grace. It's always good. I have learned more from loving you than any endeavor of my life. I have seen His face in the way you love our boys and the way their small hearts lean toward yours and find home. I have seen His face in the joy you bring to every space you walk into, in the way your servant heart moves baptismals and mountains alike.
Your life is a ministry of His love.
I could not be more grateful or more proud to have the privilege and honor of living alongside you and carrying your name. You are my greatest Gift. He has changed my life with your love.
I want to be the old woman still laughing at your jokes and melting in the warmth of your smile, I want to serve Him next to you until He can no longer use us. I want to offer up our love for His glory, the messy parts and the beautiful ones.
Thank you. Thank you for loving me, for making me more, for being the steel in my backbone and my soft place to fall. Thank you for the grace you offer when my heart is messy and the fierce way you love and lead our family toward His heart. You are so much more than everything.

Eczema is not a single condition, rather it is a collection of various skin diseases that cause patches of skin to become rough, inflamed, itchy and sometimes results in bleeding. With over 30 million Americans demonstrating symptoms, eczema is an issue that dermatologists treat often . While it's prevalent in babies, adults can develop eczema as well.
Since there are 11 different types of eczema, a dermatologist will try to pinpoint exactly what is causing symptoms in order to provide the best treatment. In order to do this, a thorough examination of the skin will be performed, medical history will be reviewed and in some cases, a biopsy of a skin sample will be sent for examination.
Eczema can be persistent and it may require several treatments over the course of months or even years to control. In most cases, a dermatologist will recommend home care in addition to any treatments they provide.
Take a lukewarm shower for no more than 10 minutes.
Use a mild soap with little fragrance.
Dry your skin very carefully with the towel. Do not aggressively dry.
Use a mild, fragrance-free lotion.
The final piece of advice is to stop scratching. Scratching itchy skin may make symptoms more pronounced and could irritate the skin further.
Topical cream and oral/injected medication could be recommended to keep symptoms under control. Prescription creams will help to control itching while repairing the skin. Oral medication can help to fight skin infection and relieve itching. Injected drugs could help to control inflammation in severe cases.
Ultraviolet Light Therapy. UVB or PUVA ultraviolet rays are effective for treating chronic cases, but increase risk for sunburn or skin cancer if used for too long.
Wet Dressing Application. Wrapping the affected area with topical medication and wet bandages has proven effective with certain forms of eczema.
At-home treatment is almost always recommended for children before any cream or medication is prescribed. Be sure to keep skin well moisturized and avoid any products that seem to irritate skin.
At Mystic Valley Dermatology Associates, we provide individualized treatment plans and walk our patients through the process every step of the way. To schedule an appointment, please call (781) 438-6350.

Good afternoon all. Welcome to another weekend poetry reading, where we try to find the best of poetry read by the poet themselves.
Seeing as we've just had St. Davids Day, we figured it would only be fitting to get a bit of Thomas on the go today. This piece has always charmed us, and we feel that it sits amongst his greatest poems. First published in 1945 in Horizon magazine, this piece captivates the reader and draws them into a whimsical, magical world of Thomas's devising. Easily one of our favourite poems by one of the 20th Centuries greatest poets.

A/B Testing & Optimization FAQ
How does the attribution work in A/B testing?
Written by Lari Lehtonen
A user is bucketed in a variation A or B or N at the beginning of a visit and if she or he is exposed to one or multiple campaigns that belong to a given variation, even if it leads to a bounce, her or his session is analyzed & reported in reporting view for the relevant variation.
Nosto remembers how users are bucketed and will be provided with the same experience of variation A or B or N in any upcoming session.
On the 1st of February, one user visits an online store with a Nosto test running. He is bucketed in variation B and served by the relevant campaigns of that variation when she or he visit a page type where one campaign of a variation is displayed. She or he leaves and doesn't purchase.
On the 4th of February, user revisits the website and is bucketed to variation B. She or he is exposed to the campaign(s) of the variation B and convert. Nosto reports the conversion corresponding to the variation B. It is a converted visit.
Note that if in the second visit, the user wouldn't have been exposed to any campaign of the variation B, it wouldn't be stated as a converted visit. Indeed, the relationship between the experience and the conversion would not be strong enough.
Campaign Reach & Attribution
It's quite common that within a session, the campaign(s) of a variation are displayed multiple times for a single user. This is particularly the case when users are visiting multiple times one same page type. Nosto tracks the performance of the campaigns and the performance of the variations differently.
If any user is exposed to at least one campaign of a variation and convert, it counts as 1 converted visit for the variation. However, if she or he has viewed 4 times the campaign of a variation, the campaign reach is 4 and will be reported as such on the product recommendation campaign listing view in Nosto.
If one product recommendation or content campaign is used in context of a test as part of a variation while simultaneously used in different placement(s) targeting other segment(s), aggregated statistics will be displayed in the dedicated campaign listing views. However, variation specific statistics will be treated separately in the Nosto A/B Testing & Optimization reporting view.
One product recommendation campaign of Best Sellers (identified by a unique slot ID) is part of a campaign test, targeting Segment of First-time Visitors. This campaign is known as Variation B in context of this test and is displayed in a Placement 123 on the Front Page.
In parallel, this campaign is also used to target another segment, the segment of Loyal Customers this time, in Placement 456 on Product Pages.
Any First-time Visitor bucketed in Variation B who will be exposed to the campaign due to a visit of of the Front Page, will see her or his clicks reported as part of the variation and her or his purchases reported to the Variation B. In parallel, those clicks are also reported to the campaign-specific performance.
Any Loyal Customer visiting Product Pages who will be exposed to the campaign, who will click one of the recommended products and who will purchase one of these products in the same visit, will be reported from a Click-through Rate, Conversion Rate and Sales on a campaign level only. Indeed, none of these users were part of the A/B Test due to the segment targeting and variation bucketing.
For more information, learn more about placement guidelines here and sales attribution by product here.
Campaign & Variation Revenue Attribution
Attributed revenue for Nosto Onsite Product Recommendations follows a same-session Click & Buy attribution method and all revenue displayed on a campaign level is based on that attribution method.
Attributed revenue for Nosto Onsite Content Personalization campaigns follows both a View & Buy and Click & Buy attribution method and all revenue displayed on a campaign level is based on any of these attribution methods, based on user selection in the Nosto Admin Panel. Indeed, some content campaigns don't include clickable links.
Attributed revenue for any Nosto A/B test variation follows a same-session View & Buy attribution model.
For example, if a user is exposed to an Onsite Product Recommendation campaign "You may also like" in a visit (say this campaign consists of being a Variation B in a given test), don't click on the recommended products and purchases within her or his visit, the attributed revenue is listed for the Variation B of the test but not under the Onsite Product Recommendation campaign.

H.C. Andersen Slottet (også Tivolislottet) er i dag navnet på den bygning, der ligger på H.C. Andersens Boulevard overfor Københavns Rådhus på hjørnet af Tivoli. Tivoli erhvervede den i 1978 og gav den det nuværende navn.

Bygningen, som er tegnet af arkitekten Vilhelm Klein i såkaldt Rosenborg-stil (historicisme), blev opført 1892-93 på initiativ af bl.a. Carlsbergs Carl Jacobsen til brug for Kunstindustrimuseet. Den indgår i den "dannelsesrute" af monumentale, offentlige bygninger, som efter sløjfningen af Københavns volde blev placeret rundt om byens centrum. De øvrige bygninger er Polyteknisk Læreanstalt, Astronomisk observatorium, Kommunehospitalet, Botanisk Haves Væksthus, Geologisk Museum, Statens Museum for Kunst, Københavns Rådhus og Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek.

Det var i bygningen, Kunstindustrimuseets første samling blev opbygget under ledelse af dets første direktør Pietro Krohn. Han foretog omfattende indkøb på Verdensudstillingen i Paris 1900 af art nouveau-genstande. De er desværre i en vis grad solgt kort efter.  Det indkøbte kunsthåndværk af danske kunstnere som Thorvald Bindesbøll, Effie Hegermann-Lindencrone, Arnold Krog, Herman A. Kähler, Johan Rohde, Harald Slott-Møller og J.F. Willumsen er bevaret i samlingerne.

"Slottet" er opført som en firfløjet bygning med en indre, overdækket gård eller vestibule med ovenlys. Murene er i røde mursten med dekorative detaljer i sandsten og tagdækning af skifer. Indvendigt har bygningen i store træk bevaret den oprindelige plan og en stor del af sine oprindelige overflader og udsmykning, der ligesom det ydre blev udført i de bedste materialer. "Slottets" pragtrum er vestibulen med rundbuede arkader i siderne og en lang række opbyggelige sentenser på sorte stenplader hele vejen rundt.

Efter at Kunstindustrimuseet flyttede til Frederiks Hospital i Bredgade i 1926 blev bygningen anvendt til en række forskellige formål, bl.a. hovedkontor for De Forenede Bryggerier, Gymnastikinstitut, Officersforening og Garnisonsbibliotek, Louis Tussaud's Wax Museum (1974-2007) samt den kontroversielle udstilling Bodies i 2008. Bygningen rummer i dag kontorer for Tivoli samt møde- og selskabslokaler. En sidefløj huser Tivoligardens kaserne.

Bygningens fortsatte bevaring blev truet: Tivolis ledelse annoncerede på et pressemøde 16. november 2006 sine planer om at opføre et nyt luksushotel på grunden. Det ville nødvendiggøre en nedrivning af bygningen.

Planen vakte stor modstand, fordi mange oplevede en nedrivning som et kulturelt tab og en alvorlig trussel imod hele den nordøstlige del af Tivoli, som i dag i høj grad præges af H.C. Andersen-slottets "eventyragtige" bidrag til haven. Desuden var en stor del af københavnerne af den opfattelse, at et højhushotel lige ved siden af rådhustårnet ville true Rådhusets dominerende karakter i området og lukke af for det bymæssigt vigtige åndehul, som det lavere "Slot" og udkigget til Tivoli udgør.

Organisationen Tivolis Venner blev dannet for at gøre opmærksom på de problematiske konsekvenser ved hotelbyggeriet og for at bidrage til at skabe debat om Tivolis udvikling i det hele taget.

27. april 2007 kom det frem, at Tivoli højst sandsynligvis måtte droppe planerne om opførelsen af hoteltårnet, da Det Særlige Bygningssyn under Kulturarvsstyrelsen havde indstillet den forreste del af bygningen til fredning og resten af bygningen som bevaringsværdig. Kulturarvstyrelsen valgte ikke at følge Bygningssynets indstilling, men indtil videre er hotelprojektet lagt i bero, også som følge af politisk modvilje i Borgerrepræsentationen.
