You may have missed it in the shuffle of the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday, but more than 280,000 protesters throughout France took to the streets the weekend of November 17th to voice their frustration with the rising cost of energy thanks to French President Emmanuel Macron's deeply unpopular tax on diesel fuel, the most popular fuel in France, and gasoline.
The violent protests (is there ever any other kind of protest in France?) that started last weekend are still raging. French police fired tear gas and used water cannons on Saturday, November 24th to disperse thousands of protesters in Paris, according to Politico.
Diesel prices in France have skyrocketed more than 23 percent over the last 12 months and French motorists already spend more than $7.00 per gallon, USD. Despite these enormous costs, French President Emmanuel Macron has stated the rising gas taxes are needed to reduce France's dependence on fossil fuels and fund renewable energy investment.
The new taxes would raise the cost of diesel fuel by nearly 30 cents per gallon, and will continue to climb in the coming years.
Polling shows the protesters enjoy broad support among the French public, with nearly three-quarters of respondents to an Elabe institute poll backing the the protesters. Seventy percent of respondents wanted the government to reverse the fuel tax hikes.
Rising fuel prices have exacted a political toll on Macron, who has seen his popularity slip to a new low. An opinion poll released last Friday found a mere 26 percent of French people had a favorable opinion of Macron.
While the general public may seemingly support policies to combat carbon dioxide emissions in the abstract, they almost always oppose them when they are presented as concrete policies with real costs.
Gas taxes are set to increase in Minnesota, as well, but Governor-elect Tim Walz has thus far declined to share specific details about his proposal to raise the cost of fuel for Minnesota families.

Size-frequency distributions were determined for 3 common lantern-fishes (Stenobrachius leucopsarus, Diaphus theta, and Tarletonbeania crenularis) off Oregon in the summer. The fishes were caught mainly in sound-scattering layers by a large pelagic trawl with 5 opening-closing nets. Changes in depth distribution and diel vertical migration with growth were evident for all 3 species. The size of S. leucopsarus increased markedly with depth both at 0 to 90 m at night and 250 to 500 m during the day. Larger D. theta were also found deeper during the day (between 250 and 450 m), but neither D. theta nor T. crenularis demonstrated size segregation in the upper 90 m at night. Large D. theta and small T. crenularis did not appear to migrate into surface waters at night. Age-Group O (15 to 20 mm) S. leucopsarus were most abundant in deep water (400 to 480 m) in the daytime and did not migrate into near-surface waters at night. Age-Group I (30 to 40 mm) S. leucopsarus were common at about 300 m by day and within the upper 30 m at night. Age-Group II–III (50 to 60 mm) apparently followed the evening ascent of Age-Group I fish and most resided at 75 to 90 m at night, beneath Age-Group I fish. Age-Group III+fish (70 to 80 mm) were associated with Age-Group O at 400 to 480 m by day and usually did not migrate above 200 m at night. The size structure of S. leucopsarus differed among the nets of a single tow at one depth, or between two tows that fished the same depths on successive nights, indicating horizontal patchiness in age structure. D. theta demonstrated low within-tow variability in size composition which indicated a spatially more uniform age structure on a scale of kilometers. The size structures of these 3 lanternfishes were different in the same area and the same season during two different years, suggesting variable survival of year classes or horizontal patchiness of age composition in the area sampled.

Q: Numpy: for each element in one dimension, find coordinates of maximum of sub-array I've seen variations of this question asked a few times but so far haven't seen any answers that get to the heart of this general case. I have an n-dimensional array of shape [a, b, c, ...] . For some dimension x, I want to look at each sub-array and find the coordinates of the maximum.
For example, say b = 2, and that's the dimension I'm interested in. I want the coordinates of the maximum of [:, 0, :, ...] and [:, 1, :, ...] in the form a_max = [a_max_b0, a_max_b1], c_max = [c_max_b0, c_max_b1], etc.
I've tried to do this by reshaping my input matrix to a 2d array [b, a*c*d*...], using argmax along axis 0, and unraveling the indices, but the output coordinates don't wind up giving the maxima in my dataset. In this case, n = 3 and I'm interested in axis 1.
shape = gains_3d.shape
idx = gains_3d.reshape(shape[1], -1)
idx = idx.argmax(axis = 1)
a1, a2 = np.unravel_index(idx, [shape[0], shape[2]])

Obviously I could use a loop, but that's not very pythonic.
For a concrete example, I randomly generated a 4x2x3 array. I'm interested in axis 1, so the output should be two arrays of length 2.
testarray = np.array([[[0.17028444, 0.38504759, 0.64852725],
        [0.8344524 , 0.54964746, 0.86628204]],

       [[0.77089997, 0.25876277, 0.45092835],
        [0.6119848 , 0.10096425, 0.627054  ]],

       [[0.8466859 , 0.82011746, 0.51123959],
        [0.26681694, 0.12952723, 0.94956865]],

       [[0.28123628, 0.30465068, 0.29498136],
        [0.6624998 , 0.42748154, 0.83362323]]])

testarray[:,0,:] is
array([[0.17028444, 0.38504759, 0.64852725],
       [0.77089997, 0.25876277, 0.45092835],
       [0.8466859 , 0.82011746, 0.51123959],
       [0.28123628, 0.30465068, 0.29498136]])

, so the first element of the first output array will be 2, and the first element of the other will be 0, pointing to 0.8466859. The second elements of the two matrices will be 2 and 2, pointing to 0.94956865 of testarray[:,1,:]

A: Let's first try to get a clear idea of what you are trying to do:
Sample 3d array:
In [136]: arr = np.random.randint(0,10,(2,3,4))
In [137]: arr
Out[137]:
array([[[1, 7, 6, 2],
        [1, 5, 7, 1],
        [2, 2, 5, *6*]],

       [[*9*, 1, 2, 9],
        [2, *9*, 3, 9],
        [0, 2, 0, 6]]])

After fiddling around a bit I came up with this iteration, showing the coordinates for each middle dimension, and the max value
In [151]: [(i,np.unravel_index(np.argmax(arr[:,i,:]),(2,4)),np.max(arr[:,i,:])) for i in range
     ...: (3)]
Out[151]: [(0, (1, 0), 9), (1, (1, 1), 9), (2, (0, 3), 6)]

I can move the unravel outside the iteration:
In [153]: np.unravel_index([np.argmax(arr[:,i,:]) for i in range(3)],(2,4))
Out[153]: (array([1, 1, 0]), array([0, 1, 3]))

Your reshape approach does avoid this loop:
In [154]: arr1 = arr.transpose(1,0,2)  # move our axis first
In [155]: arr1 = arr1.reshape(3,-1)
In [156]: arr1
Out[156]:
array([[1, 7, 6, 2, 9, 1, 2, 9],
       [1, 5, 7, 1, 2, 9, 3, 9],
       [2, 2, 5, 6, 0, 2, 0, 6]])

In [158]: np.argmax(arr1,axis=1)
Out[158]: array([4, 5, 3])
In [159]: np.unravel_index(_,(2,4))
Out[159]: (array([1, 1, 0]), array([0, 1, 3]))

max and argmax take only one axis value, where as you want the equivalent of taking the max along all but one axis.  Some ufunc takes a axis tuple, but these do not.  The transpose and reshape may be the only way.
In [163]: np.max(arr1,axis=1)
Out[163]: array([9, 9, 6])

It is no surprise that Telemann, along with Johann Sebastian Bach and Christoph Graupner, can be considered the main composers of the Lutheran cantata during the first half of the 18th century. After all, the Harmonisches Gottesdienst was meant to provide first-rate but easily performable cantatas in cyclic form for the year for places that were missing larger vocal and instrumental forces, and this published set is only a small tithe of the works that he was to write for the church. Thus, calling this set of five works Luther Cantatas, as the title of the disc has it, rather begs the question of redundancy. Nevertheless, when three texts of that number are by Erdmann Neumeister, the main promoter of the genre, such a rubric should be accepted.
These works are all outgrowths of the Magdeburg Telemann Festival, which annually seems to unearth and perform an almost inexhaustible supply of the composer's music, and the 21st season was devoted to the theme of his connection with Luther. As was usual with Telemann, the structure of these cantatas varies considerably. The first, Herr, wir liegen für dir, is conventional, with pairs of arias and recitatives bookended by the choral "Dictum" and a final chorale. In the second, the usual recitative is omitted altogether, and it is prefaced by a nicely suspensive sinfonia, while in the third Telemann dispenses with the arias, allowing the threefold choral repetitions (two chorales and a final chorus) to be separated by brief recitatives, the second of which does have a brief devolution into a duet Dictum at the end. The movements can be rather conventional, such as his square setting of A mighty fortress in the final cantata Wertes Zion, or the other chorale tunes. But he also inserts moments of harmonic and melodic boldness, such as the tortuous melismas of the aria "Weg, ihr Sünden" in the first cantata, which get spun out by the bass as if to underscore the text "kränkt mich nicht" (do not constrict or grieve me). The second cantata even ends with a gnarly contrapuntal "Amen" fugue that seems startling, given the almost homophonic nature of the preceding chorales. Telemann is also quite inventive in terms of his use of instrumentation. In the first aria of the first cantata, "Was ich an Gerechtigkeit," the two flutes (traversos) weave a gentle crystalline minuet around a flowing soprano line that is like a clear brook. In the first duet of the second cantata, Es wollt uns Gott, the oboes are wonderfully throaty, with their darker tone colors emphasizing some curious harmonic inflections that support the parallel thirds of the solo voices. In the last cantata, Telemann uses his high trumpets both as soaring clarion calls and as fanfares. In the chorus, "Seid böse, ihr Völker," the admonitions of the voices are punctuated by a militaristic brass line, which is suddenly interrupted by plaintive minor-key insertions that provide abrupt and effective dramatic contrast.
In short, these are all excellent examples of the Lutheran church cantata of the time, equal to the same sort of works that were being turned out by Bach over in Leipzig. Conductor Gotthold Schwarz keeps the ensemble clean and crisp, with a nice variety of tempos that emphasize Telemann's contrasts. He also functions as bass soloist, with a light tone that handles the often twisting lines well. Soprano Siri Thornhill has a bright voice that can sound, as in the aria "Was ich an Gerechtigkeit," innocent and reticent, just what the Affekt requires. Countertenor Stefan Kahle and alto Susanne Krumbiegel are flexible, as is the precise tone of tenor Tobias Hunger. In short, not only are these fine examples of Telemann's style in cantata writing, the performances support and present them in a way that promotes their compositional features. My only quibble is that I seem to hear a pair of horns in the background of the straightforward chorale "Ein feste Burg," which are not mentioned in the list of personnel. That does provide a nice support for the voices, but they should have been mentioned. Other than that, this is a disc that Telemann collectors will want. Recommended.


Tim created this blog for me more than five years ago, He also wrote the first post on April 15, 2007 about the personal best of 3:08:48 I had just run in the Canberra marathon, improving on the 3:13:01 in the 2006 Gold Coast marathon. When he wrote that post, neither one of us realized then I had also won my age group -- a first at the marathon distance.
The title I initially used for this blog was The Happiness of the Long Distance Runner; while the title has changed several times since, the first one by and large still captures this blog's essence.
I was hesitant at first, writing only the odd post. There was one in May 2007, followed by another in July, and the next came in August. Then there was a gap until January 2008 -- by then Tim and I had swapped Sydney, Australia -- our home of seven years -- for Canada's West Coast.
The number of posts have steadily increased since and keeping this blog has also helped me keep tabs on my running, writing and, in a way, life in general. It helps motivate me to start and finish a thought, or at least explore it, in writing in a way that I am comfortable publishing. It's been especially helpful in the times I feel the work on the next book is lacking in progress.
Last month, partly motivated by finding a way to safeguard all the writing I have done for it in the past five years and partly because of wanting a physical copy as a personal record, I looked for, and found, a way to download the entire blog's text with Blog2Print.com into a PDF-file. It only costs $7.95, well worth it to me.
Next I turned the PDF into a text file, getting rid of all the images, and discovered I had written more than 200,000 words. I spent a couple of weeks quick-editing the file for errors and layout so I could turn into a paperback, a printed record of everything I have written on this blog between April 2007 and May 2012.
It's turned into a tome of 496 pages. I designed a simple cover for which I chose to use an image taken at about 15K into the 2011 Bellingham Bay Marathon as it's relaxed and happy.
Today I received the proof copy of this paperback. My only plans with it for now are to clean the interior file up further with another edit and to improve the layout for my own personal record, that of The Happiness of one Long Distance Runner.


For the past two years we've had a group of technical experts working on proposals on how to fix school levies. They just released their report, available here. The report is amazingly detailed and is a great introduction into how levies work and some possible approaches to fixing the problems.
We depend MUCH too heavily on local property taxes to fund education. We are very close to the levels of dependence we had in the late 70s that created legal cases against the state for violating Article IXof the WA State Constitution.
The amount of funding available from local sources varies wildly between districts for two main reasons. First, some districts have more property wealth per student than others, and second, some districts have more legal ability to raise levies than other districts for strange historical reasons. This violates the "general and uniform" part of Article IX.
The formula for figuring out levies is complex beyond belief and hard to explain to legislators and voters.
Last year the state lost a big school funding case in court. (This is the "McCleary" case.) The appeal was heard in the last few months and we expect a decision in the early fall. It's hard to believe that the court will find for the state.
We have work to do to come up with a system that makes more sense, and I'm open to suggestion, particularly places where we might change how the levy system works to make more sense. If you want to comment you should also read David Iseminger's excellent thought exercise on his website. I don't agree with all of it, but some of the ideas make a lot of sense.


BALTIMORE – The Angels aren't particular about how they rack up the runs. Sometimes they'll knock the ball out of the park, and often they will simply move around the bases one at a time.
The Angels did a little of both Wednesday night against the Baltimore Orioles, rolling to a 13-1 victory behind a 16-hit outburst that included 13 singles and a home run by Torii Hunter.
One night after reaching season highs in homers and hits, the Angels set a season mark for runs in their most lopsided victory of 2012. The Angels totaled 20 runs and 33 hits during a two-game sweep – their sixth straight series win.
Since starting 6-14, the Angels are 36-19. They've won 13 of their last 17 games overall and 13 of 14 on the road, outscoring the opposition by a combined 81-37.
"We're a different team than we were 45 days ago," Scioscia said.
Hunter scored four runs, Kendrys Morales had three hits and four RBIs, and Mike Trout had four hits and scored three runs. In addition, Alberto Callaspo had two hits in a six-run fourth that made it 9-1.
The 36-year-old Hunter is delighted to be part of an offense that includes the 20-year-old Trout and 26-year-old Mark Trumbo.
Jered Weaver (8-1) scattered six hits over 6 2-3 innings in his second start since spending three weeks on the disabled list with a lower back strain. He received ample offensive backing from the entire Los Angeles lineup.
"You still want to go out there and keep them off balance," said the right-hander, who gave up one run, walked one and struck out six.
Weaver lowered his ERA to 2.31 and became the seventh pitcher in club history to win 90 games. The two-time All-Star is 90-48 in six-plus seasons.
Los Angeles set the tone in the first inning when Hunter hit a solo shot into the left-field seats.
In the bottom half, Trout made a sensational leaping catch at the center-field wall to rob J.J. Hardy of a homer.

Reimagining the New Consumer
Mon., Mar. 8, 2021
By Ronn Torossian
Ronn Torossian
It will likely take some time before marketers figure out how to adapt and adjust to our new normal. There was never a year like 2020, and the pandemic changed the consumer mindset as well as their values and expectations. But the customer still remains number one.
So, what might marketers do to better engage this new consumer? Here are some tips:
Customization will be important. Marketers will need to do an even better job segmenting their audiences. Consider other aspects of the audience beyond their age, income, favorite products, etc. and include things like their attention span or comments. Do they spend 10 seconds or less on the brand's page? If so, place them in a separate category than those who linger there. Customize shorter messages of value to them and answer noteworthy comments.
How many customers and potential ones have abandoned their shopping carts and not completed purchases? Many may still be recaptured with a personal email or text inquiring why, as well as a special offer. A similar effort should be made with customers who haven't purchased in a while.
Brands advertising on various platforms and in different venues will also benefit by customizing their ads. The same ad on different platforms often doesn't work and has the same appeal because of variances in size and ratio. What looks great on the website may not be as appealing on a smartphone. The same can happen by publishing large ads with complex images on other platforms.
Facebook is one such example. According to an October 2020 Statista study, 80 percent of people accessing Facebook did so only through their mobile devices. Being aware of how an ad or infographic will look and be received by customers using smartphones will make a difference in successfully connecting with them.
Catering to mobile users is more than an accommodation. It's a necessity. Other numbers offered by Statista showed that smartphones account for 61 percent of all organic searches on Google and 50.8 percent of all website traffic. Not only has mobile surpassed laptops but it's also the doorway to other popular channels like Snapchat and Instagram. What will also help tremendously is boosting website speed and improving the website experience.
At the same time, draft and launch a multichannel strategy taking into consideration all of the above as well as the following. The vast majority of digital users frequent more than one platform regularly. However, each has its own target demographics. This means tailoring any messages and ads to reach the right audience. Be sure to test and compare results to gain insights for future campaigns and changes that need to be made.
An invaluable lesson that came out of the pandemic is that consumers long to learn. Use the different platforms to educate them. By learning and understanding what they want to know and then filling that need, brands have an opportunity to secure a loyal following.
Consumers are much more likely to make a purchase after reading or viewing content they find educational and valuable to them. They're also more prone to refer friends and family who have similar interests.

City Slang: Music review roundup
by Brett Callwood
Send CDs, vinyl, cassettes, demos and 8-tracks to Brett Callwood, Metro Times, 1200 Woodward Heights, Ferndale MI 48220. Email MP3s and streaming links to bcallwood@metrotimes.com.
My Brightest Diamond's None More Than You EP (Asthmatic Kitty), out in July, precedes her full length This is My Hand album which comes out in September. So it's kind of an appetizer, and it's delicious. Apparently, Shara Worden recently moved to Detroit, planted a garden and gave birth to a baby. We're delighted she's here because, on this evidence, she's a tremendous artist, blending folk and electronica in a Tori Amos sort of way. Add some Kate Bush and you're about there.
OK, this is interesting. Backstab the Kingpin sent us his self-titled album, an enjoyable if slightly puerile hip-hop effort that tells tales of loose women and hard drinking. It's good fun, truth be known. Just put your intelligence away for a while. Weirdly, the CD arrived accompanied by a book, Drinking Hip Hop, written by William Bane. It's an odd little volume, a semi-biographical look at Backstab the Kingpin's life. Lots of hookers on the Cass Corridor, lots of drugs. No surprises, besides the fact that this book got written at all.

BUY REAL ESTATE IN LAKEWOOD AND EAST DALLS .
Lakewood is a collection of old neighborhoods, dating back to the early 1900s to the 1950s, including Lakewood proper, Lakewood Heights, Parks Estates, Wilshire Heights, Gastonwood-Coronado Hills, Hollywood Heights, and Belmont; among others. Commonly, these neighborhoods are grouped together under the heading of Lakewood. The M-Streets, and other Old East Dallas subdivisions are included many times.
Currently, there is a large number of Historic and Conservation Districts reflecting of Craftsman, Prairie-Four Squares, Tudors, Spanish and Mediterranean Eclectic and Early Ranch homes, many of native Austin stone. The homes range from modest two-bedroom bungalows to massive estates, both old and new large lots. There is also a fair number of duplexes, four-plexes and small apartment complexes and new townhomes and condos being built on some of the adjacent areas to Lakewood.
This is my site. I own a private lending company in Dallas and operate as Licensed RMLO with Texas Pride Lending and live in Lakewood. I have lived here for over 10 years and also grew up in Dallas. Its a good place to start when investigating the past and current state of Lakewood and East Dallas.

A suicide bomber detonated his explosives-filled vest among a group of people protesting a local police commander in eastern Afghanistan on Tuesday, killing 25 and wounding about 130, a provincial official said.
"Around four hundred people gathered for the protest and the bomber detonated his vest full of explosive among the crowd," said Captain Qais Saifi, an official at Nangarhar province police headquarters.
Gen Ghulam Sanayee Stanikzai, police chief of Nangarhar province, said people from Achin district had come to the Momandara district to block the main highway between the capital Jalalabad and the Torkham border with Pakistan.

New Jersey has only allowed distilleries in the state since February 2013, and only two at the time of writing this exist. One of the reasons for the slow increase of distilleries could be the fines associated with owning a still which can be up to 3 years imprisonment.
Because of this I would say it is illegal to own a still, or to use one regardless of the purpose.
Any person who shall have in his possession or custody or under his control any still or distilling apparatus set up, dismantled, or in the process of construction, or parts thereof without having registered same in accordance with the provisions of this chapter shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and punished by a fine of not less than one hundred dollars and not more than one thousand dollars or imprisonment for not less than thirty days and not more than three years, or both.
It shall be unlawful to manufacture, sell, possess with intent to sell, transport, warehouse, rectify, blend, treat, fortify, mix, process, bottle or distribute alcoholic beverages in this State, except pursuant to and within the terms of a license, or as otherwise expressly authorized, under this chapter; but any drink actually intended for immediate personal use may be mixed by any person.
There does not appear to be any legal way to manufacture ethanol fuel in New Jersey. Since it is illegal to manufacture ethanol for personal use, ethanol fuel would also be illegal.

Ramaphosa's Official Portrait replaced With That of David Mabuza Goes Viral
Social media is indeed the fastest way for something to go viral. The picture of a man removing Ramaphosa's photograph from the wall of his office and replacing it with that of David Mabuza has gone viral. The man is confident that Ramaphosa may have to step aside, so he is acting ahead. This can best be described as a typical example of someone running faster than his or her shadow. This is both hilarious and confusing.
What if Ramaphosa is not resigning or stepping aside because the president has repeatedly said he will not step aside under any circumstances. He noted that he cannot step aside now because he is fighting corruption and transforming the nation, and he needs to be through with his renewal process. But some people have described his explanation as highly laughable. They noted that no meaningful project or development is ongoing in the country.
This Man is earnest with his move by removing Ramaphosa's official portrait from the wall of his office. He even told the deputy president, David Mabuza, to rise to the occasion. If not for David Mabuza is not a desperate politician, some people would have caused a rift between him and president Cyril Ramaphosa. Ramaphosa could have thought that David Mabuza might be engineering some people to make this kind of move. However, the quiet deputy president is rarely seen in public.
This is why it may be possible that he will not return as the Deputy president in the next general election. In fact, many political analysts believe that Paul Mashatile will emerge victorious as the next ANC Deputy President. They argue that he has never lost an election and subsequently received overwhelming numbers of nominations from ANC branches. Indeed, he will also clinch it at the ANC elective conference.

Emigration to England in the 1960s
Interview with Mattie and Mary Cunningham for Killererin - A Parish History
Interviewed by Geraldine O'Connor, for Killererin - A Parish History
Mattie and Mary Cunningham in earlier years

Mattie and Mary emigrate in the 1960s
Emigration to England was very popular in the 1960s. Both Mary and Mattie Cunningham were among a tranche of young Irish people who emigrated to the large cities of England in that era. Families at home in Ireland were large and work was scarce. Free education had not yet raised the qualification levels which gave the next generation a wider choice of opportunity in the workplace. Ireland's economy was still largely based on agriculture and therefore many young Irish people faced no future at home. They had to emigrate.
With very little education, emigrants were employed as manual labour which was plentiful in England mainly in the construction industry and girls found work in offices and shops, as "clippies" i.e., conductresses on buses. Some qualified nurses found it easy to do post graduate diplomas in midwifery, which were only open to a limited number, in Irish hospitals. Many youngsters emigrated in the full knowledge that they would never return. Others hoped to earn enough to return and settle in Ireland. Some succeeded very well, others, sadly, failed.
England was relatively close to home. However, this was an era when there generally wasn't a possibility of phoning home. Communication was by letter and a telegram brought news of illnesses or death. Mary remembers that everybody was acutely lonely. The culture was alien and Irish people found it difficult to integrate.
Families follow one another on the Emigrant trail
Work was slavish with most men working seven days a week. Brothers and sisters followed each other and whole families left; elderly parents suffering the loss and loneliness at home. The young emigrants' aim was to return once a year and they would save to buy furniture or other necessities for the home on that annual visit. Financial support was sent home to families just as it had been since post-famine emigration to the USA, Canada and Australia.
Irish Centres provide a meeting place
The only opportunity for a social life was on a Friday or Saturday night in the big dance halls such as "The Emerald" or "The Crown" in London. Alcohol was abused and self-care was limited in many cases where life was hard and rough. The Irish tend to be ………… as often happened with emigrant groups. Many married and started family life in their new homeland. This loosened the ties with Ireland but left people with a fractured sense of place. Irish centres were set up in many of the large cities and provided a cultural meeting place for a community making their home abroad.
Difficulties of integrating
Many emigrants did not successfully adjust and when they were no longer able to work, their situation became pitiful. Mary and Mattie feel that English society did not embrace such people and poverty, isolation together with old age and illnesses was very apparent to them among some Irish people when they visited London in recent years.
The pull of home is strong
Those who could return were very lucky and found greater life-changes on their return. Many who settled permanently in England still considered themselves Irish after half a century. Modern communication systems and cheap air travel have made the world very small and England nowadays is just a "hop and a skip" away. The annual trip on the Holyhead boat is no more but Mary says, "Distance doesn't matter, it is still hard to be away". The pull of place and ancestry is powerful.

Vandals go on rampage in Bridgend town centre
But trio were caught on CCTV and police are investigating
Carys Lewis
Flowers were ripped from their display outside Carnegie House in Wyndham Street, Bridgend
Mindless vandals have been slammed by local councillors after they "wreaked havoc" on a town centre street, causing more than £500 worth of damage.
Staff at Bridgend Town Council's offices on Wyndham Street arrived at work on Thursday, July 31, to find their tower-like floral displays had mysteriously vanished.
After making inquiries, they discovered that the flowers – funded by the taxpayer and worth hundreds of pounds – had been ripped from their display outside Carnegie House and strewn along the street along with rubbish torn from bin bags and reams of paper.
The mess was quickly cleaned by the council's streetcare teams later that morning.
The vandals' destructive spree was caught on CCTV and staff and councillors are hopeful they will be caught.
Leanne Edwards, assistant town clerk and arts project manager, said: "When I arrived at work, the planters were completely empty but there was no mess, so we had to unravel what had happened.
"We later discovered three youths had caused havoc in the town. As well as ripping open bin bags, they ripped out the plants that we had in two big planters outside the building and threw them along Wyndham Street."
Mrs Edwards said their actions had proved costly and were not as harmless as they might think.
Her criticism was echoed by town mayor Coun Bob Burns and veteran councillor David Unwin, who has organised the annual Bridgend town floral displays for many years.
Coun Unwin said the incident was the first "major act of vandalism against the displays in almost 30 years – a credit to the town of Bridgend."
He added: "I find acts of destruction pathetic and a direct attack upon the local public, who pay for these displays each year for the enjoyment of all who visit Bridgend town.
"The police are actively seeking the culprits and I can assure the public that the council will press for the stiffest penalties upon any conviction.
"The council will not tolerate any wilful damage within Bridgend town centre and anyone bent on such destruction will not get away with it."
Coun Burns said the townspeople will now miss out on a stunning floral display until winter pansies can be planted.
"We were hoping to replace them as soon as possible, but the company who made them have no flowers at the moment, as they did the floral displays for the Commonwealth Games, so these vandals have ruined it for the whole town.
"But we will be going ahead with our winter display, as the town council is not willing to give in to this small number of stupid people who insist on carrying out such wanton acts of damage.
"I understand there is CCTV showing two males and a female, and that their faces are identifiable, so I hope that they are worried about their actions catching up with them."
South Wales Police confirmed investigations are ongoing. Anyone with information should contact 101.

Truth does not demand belief. Scientists do not join hands every Sunday, singing, yes, gravity is real! I will have faith! I will be strong! I believe in my heart that what goes up, up, up must come down, down. down. Amen! If they did, we would think they were pretty insecure about it.
Someone wrote in because an atheist friend left this quote on her Facebook page, so maybe you've seen it already. How would you respond to this? We'll hear Brett's answer on Thursday.
I have been given this response in two separate discussions, and I have some responses to it, but I'm hoping you might have a more strategic approach. Thanks!
So that's your challenge this week. How would you respond to this saying? Any strategic ideas for Clark? We look forward to seeing what you come up with! And check back on Thursday to see how Brett tackles this.
[A] major problem with hell is that it's grossly disproportionate…. It is virtually impossible to conceive of a way in which one human being, in a finite lifetime, could have committed enough sin to deserve an eternity in hell. Whether you believe that hell involves actual fire, or simply loneliness and separation from God, it's a distinctly unpleasant condition to be in and it lasts for an infinite amount of time — so the magnitude of the punishment is infinite. I could imagine a just God acting like a judge and doling out punishments proportional to our crimes committed during life, some of which might last a very, very long time. But I do not understand how it could be just for the punishment to be infinite. No person has committed infinite sin.
How do you answer this objection? Take a shot, and Brett will be back on Thursday to give us his ideas.
If you're a student, it won't be long before you're not a student and you're out there getting your first 40-hour-a-week (or more) job. What does it mean to think Christianly about your work?

You are serving God and serving others in whatever work you find yourself doing (assuming the work isn't immoral)—not just church-related work. Your work is valuable and meaningful in itself.

12 things women should never be embarrassed about
Created for From Prima for Created by Prima for
Life's too short
By Alison Lynch
We can spend a lot of time worrying about what other people think. But, the truth is, there's no rule book, life can get messy sometimes and nobody's perfect.
We could all probably do with being a bit easier on ourselves and, instead, focusing on what really matters - friends, family and doing what you love.
So, here's a reminder of the things you should never feel embarrassed about. After all, it would be pretty boring if we were all the same.
1. Loving your body
When we're bombarded with unrealistic beauty standards, accepting your body just the way it is can be tough. So instead of tearing down confident women, we need all the body-confident role models we can get. Seeing women of all shapes and sizes comfortable in their skin reminds us that beauty isn't one size fits all and to celebrate what really matters: having a strong, healthy body that lets you do all the things you love, whatever your age.
2. Having an opinion
Stop starting sentences with "Sorry but..." and ending them with a question mark. Your opinion matters as much as the next person's.
3. Having an overactive bladder
Many women who experience bladder weakness still struggle to talk to their friends, partners, or even their GP about it because they're too embarrassed. But it's more common than you think - 47% of women will experience bladder weakness at some point in their lives*.
If you do have an overactive bladder, where you get sudden urges to go to the toilet and experience accidental leaks, TENA Lady Discreet pads offer total peace of mind. Thanks to unique compressing microPROTEX™ technology, they're 20% thinner than previous pads but just as secure, offering triple protection from leaks, odour and moisture and allowing you to continue living your life to the full.
4. Asking for help
Studies suggest that women are more likely to be perfectionists in their family and work lives than men. This might explain why we sometimes prefer to just tough it out rather than say we don't know something. But it can be incredibly freeing to admit you can't do everything and let someone lend a helping hand once in a while. So don't be afraid to admit you're not superwoman.
5. Wanting sex - or not
Sexual needs and desires are dramatically different for everyone and can change from day to day. There's no such thing as a 'normal' libido. If you're not in the mood, that's your prerogative. Equally, there's no shame in being open about wanting sex. And contrary to claims that ageing and the menopause will inevitably lead to a reduced sex drive, many women find their sex life improves with age, as they become more confident with their bodies and asking for what they want.
6. Getting older
Let's just forget society's obsession with youth for a moment and take a look at the reality - the older you are the more likely you are to have more disposable income, be doing a job you enjoy and be a homeowner. In fact, according to a recent survey, we don't reach full contentment until our fifties. So ignore the 'old' outdated stereotypes and know the best is yet to come.
7. Loving makeup, fashion and celeb gossip
You can be interested in what's happening with Jennifer Aniston's love life and what's happening in global politics. It is possible to be both informed and fashionable. The two aren't mutually exclusive.
8. Being a feminist
Feminism isn't a scary word - it's simply the belief that all women should have equal rights to men; not more, the same. And supporting and championing other women and their achievements is something we should be proud of.
9. Asking for what you want
Studies show that women are less likely to negotiate for what they want than men because they think they should accept the status quo and are worried about rocking the boat. But, just take a moment to remind yourself of your worth. Make a list of all your successes and use that as your negotiating tool. Your achievements will do the talking for you.
10. Sweating
Ignore the old adage that men sweat and women glow. Women can sweat just as much as men and it's totally natural to feel the heat when you push yourself at the gym, when you're on public transport on a blisteringly hot summer's day, or when you're under pressure in that big meeting. Hot flushes and night sweats are also a common symptom of the menopause and are completely harmless. To stop yourself overheating, there are lots of things you can do, like wearing loose clothing, sipping cold drinks or using a fan at work. Most important, though, is to not stress about it.
11. Being selfish occasionally
Being selfish is seen as a bad thing, but sometimes you need to put your own health and wellbeing first. It's okay to leave work on time, to say 'no' to things and to be proud of your accomplishments.
12. Treating yourself
Never feel guilty for spending time and money on yourself and the people you care about. You've earnt it.

RENALDO & THE LOAF Hardly Gurning While The World Is Turning
Renaldo and the Loaf is an English musical duo active since the late 1970s, consisting of a pathologist (David Janssen or Ted the Loaf) and an architect (Brian Poole or Renaldo Malpractice). By their own assertion, they achieved their unique sound in part by striving to get unnatural synthesizer-like sounds using only what instruments they had available (acoustic ones). To that end they routinely used muffled and de-tuned instruments, and, often to striking effect, tape loops and manipulation. In 2018 they played their first ever live show at Klang 25 in Vienna, documented on the album Long Time Coming. In 2016 the group recorded a brand new album entitled Gurdy Hurding. When it was released on vinyl in 2019, it came with a fourth side of a new piece, Hardly Gurning While The World Is Turning. This has never been available on CD - until now. Here's what the band says: "Hardly Gurning itself is part remix, part new recording, part re-imagining...to complement this we decided to ask some of our friends if they might create a remix/re-imagination of the Gurdy Hurding tracks. In a strange way, the lockdowns of 2020 have benefitted this project as, in most cases, it afforded our contributors some time to work on it, which otherwise they may not have able to. We've certainly been excited by what has emerged – almost the whole of Gurdy Hurding has been revisited." Full tracklist: 1. Hardly Gurning While The World Is Turning 2. Henri Rise (The Residents) 3. Pessimistic Song (Alex Wroten) 4. A Convivial Ode (Eric Drew Feldman) 5. Scent Of Turnip (Nolan Cook) 6. The Moment Is Lost (Section 25) 7. Gurdy Hurding (Andrew Liles) 8. Improbable Legs (Renaldo & The Loaf) 9. Carrot Ballet (TransGlobal Underground) 10. Djinn House (Cult With No Name) 11. Gladsome Vane (Axon Welter) 12. Optimism (Eric Random) 13. Optimism (Pita).

CP of India, CPI Strongly Condemns Attacks on CPI (M) Party Offices in Tripura
India, Communist Party of India En Asia Communist and workers' parties
The National Secretariat of the Communist Party of India issued the following statement today (on September 9, 2021):

An extremely attractive example of this classic aviator's watch. The perfusely engraved back plate carries the code AF.44-47201, which dates the watch to a 1944 contract. It features a 16 jewel movement with a central sweep second hand and a hacking device which is in good order. The canvas military style strap shows some wear and could be an original item or possibly a later replacement. These watches were also issued to RAF air crew from 1942. The case and crystal are in remarkedly good condition and appears to be in good working order.


A couple from North Jersey found their dream Shore home with the help of television network HGTV and local Realtor Lisa Temple.
Temple, one of the island's best-known real estate agents, will be featured on Sunday's (Jan. 27) episode of Beachfront Bargain Hunt, a hit show which attempts to help would-be vacation homeowners find something with a view, minus a gigantic price tag. The show's home price limit is $500,000, a comparative bargain on the island, especially when close proximity to the water is a must.
Homes in Seaside Heights, South Seaside Park, Lavallette and Ocean Beach were considered. Which one the couple, who hail from Westfield, chose will have to remain a mystery until Sunday night.
"They were working with me for a house that would have views of the water or would be close to the beach," said Temple, promising plenty of local scenery during the search for the perfect home.
Temple, who is affiliated with Keller Williams Shore Properties in Lavallette, has plenty of good news to celebrate. In addition to being a TV star for a night (and helping her clients find what we expect to be a gem of a Shore house), she said she recently learned that she was the number one agent in Ocean County in sales volume, per the multiple listings service, for 2018.
The show promises some positive publicity for the Shore area as well.
"It's a great thing for the island, and our area, to get this attention," she said.
The episode will air Sunday, Jan. 27 from 8:30-9 p.m. on HGTV.


It seems according to the AWS Foundation that currently there are not enough new welders coming into the workforce especially those who not only have been trained in welding but also have a background or training in business. It seems that most want to learn welding during the recession seeing it as merely an avocation rather than a vocation. In other words, many learned the skill only as a way to feed their families rather than a skill that a business can be built around.
And Trainings Foundation have funds that came in as gifts from many charitable donors with their motivation being to have an impact as quickly as possible with part of these funds going to address the ability to recruit and train welders who would be entry level and also to assist the welders needs of the welding businesses. These two skills when taught together could induce a welder to become a business.
There is everything available for turning this skill into a business. There is plenty of Small Business Loan money available for a new businesses and lots of government contracts for small businesses to repair infrastructure.
There is also another non-profit, the James F. Lincoln Foundation that opened in the 1930s to promote welding as a better way of joining metals and also as a way to promote welding as a choice of a career. This is the only organization in the US that is solely dedicated to public education on the science and art of arc welding. This foundation was formed when the industry was only just beginning. The foundation is in its seventh decade of publishing educational text and giving cash awards for the achievements in recognizing this industry.
One of the major challenges in this field is that the public does not see the career opportunity but rather still have the image of a man behind a hood. They do not see that same man in a suit and tie making a sells call at a business that might need his company or as a business man working on his company's budget or meeting with the board of his company on Key Welding Business issues. Nor do they see this welder as having a business outlet in many different cities employing many different people in various departments all working to support their families.
It is hard to believe but in 2008 there was a nation shortage of approximately a quarter of a million welders and has remained that way until today. Across the United States the majority of welders are disappearing due to retirement or close to retirement and are not being replaced. This is a country that has millions unemployed yet there are so many opportunities in this field for work that supports a family and can grow into a lucrative business. The shrinking workforce of this industry is needed due to the aging infrastructure as well as the needs of the energy industry.
If you are a young person working in the fast food industry and wanting to do something that could become a business – think about taking courses in business and welding.

Mechanical Engineering addresses the analysis and development of technological systems involving motions and allows people to harness the energy and forces that exist in nature to provide for the needs of society. Mechanical Engineers are responsible for the conception, design, manufacture, control, maintenance and management of such systems. Mechanical systems may comprise mechanisms or machines made up of moving components or involve fluid flow within or around solid structures to impart forces or energy interactions. These could range from micro-mechanical devices to massive power generating turbines. From a jet aircraft to an air conditioning plant, from tunneling machines to body-scanners and from a technical consultancy to financial services, mechanical engineers deal with the design and production of machines, systems and structures that are taken for granted in the modern world.The range and diversity of career choice for Mechanical Engineers is consequently tremendous.

Motor racing: Kubica to test DTM car but F1 a long way off
LONDON – Polish driver Robert Kubica will test a Mercedes DTM touring car in Spain this week but any Formula One return remains a long way off as he continues his rehabilitation from a near-fatal rally accident.
New Mercedes motorsport head Toto Wolff told reporters on Tuesday that the former BMW-Sauber and Renault driver would be testing with the HWA team at the Valencia circuit.
"We all obviously like Robert, he's a very special chap and what we want to do with Mercedes-Benz is give him a chance doing a proper test in a proper race car and seeing how he goes on and how he feels," he said.
"This is what we will be doing in the next days and I'm very glad that he's able to do that. He's very much looking forward to it and he's very excited. Let's see how it goes."
Wolff said Kubica was not yet 100 percent fit and had not driven a car with such downforce since he suffered severe arm and hand injuries while competing in a minor rally in Italy in February 2011.
Asked whether Mercedes might give him a run in a Formula One car if the test was successful, the Austrian said that was not on the horizon.
"If the DTM test goes well and we see that he is doing well in a proper race car with downforce, I think there are still some physical constraints to drive a monocoque (single seater) chassis with his elbow and arm," he said.
"I think we all would love to see Robert doing well in a Formula One car in the future but that is definitely too early at this stage."
Kubica, Poland's first and only Formula One racer who was a grand prix winner with BMW-Sauber in 2008, was considered a champion of the future before he had his accident.
The Pole has competed in and won minor rallies as part of his rehabilitation. He said last September that he was still hoping to return to Formula One eventually but might never return to the same physical level as before.
The Mercedes DTM car has a V8 engine delivering some 500 brake horsepower compared to in excess of 750 bhp for a Formula One V8.

I love sheet masks. They're a major reason why my skin has improved, and they're a great way to treat yourself and feel luxurious without spending a lot of money. My new favorite mask (and this is saying a lot, because I've tried so many!) is Blossom Jeju's Marine Collagen Lifting Essence Petal Mask. Petal Masks are sheet masks, but with a twist. Press the pure camellia oil into clean skin, then cover with the sheet mask. This two-step system adds an extra boost of hydration that will then be pressed into the skin in addition to the serum in the sheet. This mask has the most delicious, fresh floral scent, thanks to the camellias, and my skin is always glowing, hydrated, and soft!


I was reading about a recent Gmail hack from China and they actually showed the IP used to access the account. Since I was fairly curious, I decided to take a look into the IP – 125.45.96.89 – and I was surprised with the result.
Nothing surprising here since the IP reports itself as being allocated to a Chinese ISP – China Unicom in Henan.
89.96.45.125.in-addr.arpa. 85865 IN PTR hn.kd.ny.adsl.
Now, this totally caught my eye. Notice the PTR record shows that the name for that IP is hn.kd.ny.adsl – an uncommon TLD. So, I checked Wikipedia for a list of available TLDs and fair enough, the ADSL TLD does not seem to exist. If I were to try to ping hn.kd.ny.adsl, the address would not even resolve through the normal DNS system.
Now, this indicates to me that China is running its own root-servers, which does not surprise me one bit as it uses it to implement the Great Firewall of China. Since it does this, it is free to implement its own list of TLDs that nobody else uses in the rest of the world. This is all fine and dandy until ICANN decides to approve the use of an ADSL TLD in the future.
With the recent WikiLeaks fiasco, people are already talking about fragmenting the Internet. This is proof that the Internet is already fragmented – we just need to take it to the next level. Zero-One-Infinity, anyone?
This is nothing unusual and does not indicate anything about China using it's own root servers.
What you must realize is that many ISPs use PTR records for a very different purpose than it was designed in the first place. There is no glue between the PTR and the actual A record (if there is any for that particular IP address).
This means that the server that holds the rights to provide authorized information about that request is ns.halyptt.net.cn.
However, when trying to forward-request the IP of that PTR, cogentco's own DNS system refuses the query.
Why do they remove the glue? I don't know, but I also don't know why they would provide it. For ISPs, the PTR records are a way to enable more verbose traceroutes. On the other hand, public A records would not provide any benefit. Most (if not all) ISPs have their own internal management infrastructure that is not only inaccessible from the Internet itself, but also relies on private DNS and IP networks.
Good comment – only trouble is that if ICANN decides to approve the TLD, then things might get screwed up. Not a good idea to use private networks with private TLDs.

These exciting new releases also coincide with the release of three new, original animated shorts starring Betty Boop, featuring Zac Posen as an animated cartoon co-star, and spotlighting the new Betty Boop Red Lipstick by M·A·C.
The Betty Boop dress collection - featuring two red dresses that embrace Betty's spirit and unique style - are available on ZacPosen.com as part of Posen's ZAC Zac Posen line. Betty Boop Red Lipstick from M·A·C. Cosmetics is available at MACCosmetics.com.
"As a cartoonist, I consider Betty Boop the 8th Wonder of the World," said Frank Caruso, VP/Creative, King Features Syndicate. "When Max Fleischer dipped his pen into the inkwell, out came a masterpiece that would influence generations of artists, animators, musicians and fashion designers.
"The marathon that is Betty Boop has outrun her legend as animation icon and taken the lead in the world of fashion, style and our hearts," Caruso said.
We couldn't agree more!

This short video compilation shows conditions at Kapoho Bay during a helicopter overflight on June 4, 2018, around 6:15 a.m. HST and again around 1:38 p.m. HST. By 6:15 a.m., lava from fissure 8 had entered the ocean for over seven hours. The flow front was about a half-mile wide, with lava building a delta a few hundred yards into the bay. The ocean entry sends a large laze plume into the air along the coastline. In the second video, taken about seven hours later (around 1:38 p.m.), lava had nearly filled the shallow bay.


Sometimes, a press or a journal will tell you that what you've sent simply isn't a "good fit." Over a decade ago, American Literature turned down a piece on Crockett Johnson that I subsequently published in Children's Literature 29 (2001) — the article that inspired my forthcoming biography of Johnson and Ruth Krauss. What does a "good fit" mean? In that case, it meant that an American author of comics and of picture books did not qualify as American Literature (at least, not according to the journal's editor).
Here is a slightly trickier case. Yesterday, eighteen and a half months after I submitted my essay "Was the Cat in the Hat Black?: Seuss and Race in the 1950s," American Quarterly at last returned a verdict. Reject. The very helpful reader's report recommends "revise and resubmit," but the accompanying letter notes that the board "decided that your essay was not a good fit for American Quarterly. This is primarily because we felt your argument needed clarification and further elaboration." Judging by both the report and the letter, "not a good fit" in this case means insufficient theorizing of how race is constructed — and I'd be the first to acknowledge that I'm not well versed in race theory. I did do some of that theoretical work in writing this piece, but I'm much better versed in Seuss and in children's literature than I am in critical theory. This is a new area for me. "Not a good fit" in this case also means (as the editor elaborates) that the argument could have been more effectively structured.
On that note, the reader's report will be very useful to me as I further revise the essay. To paraphrase Rhyme's advice (in Juster's novel), there's much to do with what I've learned. Indeed, I'm quite happy to be able to rewrite the essay without thinking "Oh, what if they like it in its original form?" I turned in the piece a year and a half ago, and my own thinking has evolved considerably since then. Even if the essay had been accepted, I was going to ask if I might make some revisions to it.
Any junior scholars reading this might wonder why I've let this essay languish at American Quarterly for so long. A big reason is that I have had the luxury to wait. If I were earlier in my career, I would have certainly pulled this essay about a year ago, and sent it elsewhere. (As I note in an earlier blog post, it's good to be proactive.) American Quarterly currently says that they require six to eight months simply to decide whether or not to send the essay out for review. In my case, the journal took a year to decide to send the essay out for review — nearly exactly a year, in fact. I submitted the essay on 31 Aug. 2010, and the editor sent it out for review on 25 Aug. 2011. However, since American Quarterly is a good journal, since I'm a full professor, and since I have more than enough to keep me busy, I decided to wait it out. I followed up with the managing editor at regular intervals… and worked on the many other projects I'd committed myself to.
The final issue to address, then, is "If a journal deems your work 'not a good fit,' should you submit something else to same journal?" The answer is "yes, if you write something that seems a better fit," but otherwise "no." My answer to the question (regarding AQ) is "probably not" — but less for the unusually long delay (for which both editor and managing editor apologized) and more because I doubt that anything I'm doing will be "a good fit" for AQ. Of the sort of work I do, this piece seemed to me to be the best fit for AQ. It's interdisciplinary, mixing history, close-reading, theory — though not well enough, evidently. But, as I've acknowledged before, as a scholar, I'm more hard worker than big thinker. That is, I'm persistent, I produce a fair amount, but I seem unable to write the sort of scholarship that changes the paradigm. I admire people who do that type of work, but acknowledge that I'm not one of them. So, if "best fit" (from my perspective) is "not a good fit" (from AQ's perspective), then I'll need to pursue other venues for my work.
And, happily, there are other venues. Generally speaking, I try to publish in both children's literature journals and in ones that are not devoted to children's literature. My reasons are many — seeking a broader audience for my own work, wanting to diversify, believing that one shouldn't always talk to the same group of scholars, feeling that children's literature scholarship should be more thoroughly integrated into academe, and so on. But, of course, some journals will be a better fit than others.
So, following the advice of Rhyme and Reason, what have I learned from this experience? (1) I'm grateful for the helpful feedback, and look forward to putting it to good use. (2) It's useful to know that AQ is unlikely to be a good fit for me: I can turn towards (what I hope will be) more receptive venues instead. (3) Finally, it's a cliché, but it's also true: nothing ventured, nothing gained. Onwards!
Thanks SO much for sharing this process, Phil. I am disappointed that AQ passed on this piece (in no small part because I am so excited to read it). But now that this essay is finally loosed from this particular bottleneck, I'm intrigued to see what/where unexpected opportunities await!
I second everything Brian says. I'm bummed that AQ passed on the article, and I want to read it anyway (would you send it to me?). I think you're giving the academic world a gift in talking about your experience. It's so important (and often hard) for us to be honest about our labor.
You are so admirably even-handed and fair-minded, Phil! I am still angry on your behalf (and my own, as you know!) that AQ takes so unconscionably long. It's really out of hand. they need to hire some more editors or something! I have no doubt your piece will come out somewhere else soon and be fabulous. It's their loss!
Thank you both for your encouraging words. Robin: I would, of course, be glad to send it to you. I do wonder whether it would be a better use of your time if I, before sending, first did further work on it. To write the piece, I read a lot about blackface minstrelsy, but I've much yet to learn on theorizing race. Your book, Racial Innocence, has been very helpful, but I only read it since writing the essay. And then, there are suggestions included in the editor's note as well, suggestions I've yet to follow up on. In sum, I'm glad to send the essay — but only if I won't be wasting your time.
And Marah: your comment landed just as I was writing back to Robin and Brian! But thank you, also. Kind of you to suggest that it's their loss, but I wouldn't say that it is, myself. I find the points of critique useful, and — when I get the time (this summer, I hope) — I'll look forward to following up on them.
Thank you for posting this. It is extremely helpful to hear from a well-known scholar and to know that even full professors sometimes get rejected. The whole submission process can be rather disheartening; like you, I'm a hard, persistent work, and I jut want to share my ideas with others. But it doesn't always work out as such.
I remember submitting an article to a children's lit journal just a few years ago, at the beginning of my career, and the editor sent me the meanest letter, cruelly ripping everything apart and basically telling me I had no talent and no worthy contributions. I wrote back to point out that I was open to constructive criticism, but there was no need to be so harsh, and he responded that someone had to tell me. He seemed to have no sense of the "good fit" idea, and he didn't acknowledge that he might simply just have not liked my style, whereas others clearly did (I've had other papers accepted and that particular paper was accepted by another journal). I think we should make sure we tell people — at all stages of their career — that something that isn't a good fit for one editor/journal might very well be highly appreciated by another one.
Thanks, Phil, (as other people have said) for talking about your writing, submission, revision, and journal-selection process so openly. As a relative newb on the scene, and finding that my 4-4 load is rendering me much more of a teacher than a scholar, reading about your experiences and your advice on how to deal with questions of "fit" is so helpful! Can't wait to read that article once you've revised it to your satisfaction!
I still think that no journal should take as long as AQ did; if the piece is not a good fit, an editor could have told you that MONTHS ago. How long does it take to skim a piece and determine whether it fits with your journal? You don't need an outside reader to tell you that!
Thanks, BJ, Jennifer, & Marah, for your supportive comments.
BJ: Kind of you to say. I have similar story. About a decade ago, a children's lit journal took 8 months to turn down my essay on how Seuss's World War II cartoons influenced his career as a children's author. The journal's reader also suggested that I consult a resource that had not even been published when I'd submitted the article. It took a change of editor before I submitted anything else to that journal. The essay itself was subsequently published by Mosaic, and became Chapter 2 of Dr. Seuss: American Icon (2004).
Jennifer: publishing on a 4-4 load is very challenging, to say the least. It can be done and it's easier once you have more preps ready to go. But it's really hard to find the time. When I look back on the two years that I had a 4-4 load, I'm surprised that I managed to get much written. Of course, I wanted to get out of that job, and so anger was a powerful motivator. In contrast, my sense of you is that, while you'd be grateful for less teaching, you do like your job.
Marah: Thanks for the tip. I don't see a category for AQ on that page, but it's a thought. I concur that the wait time was unusually long, but I also know what it's like to be overwhelmed with work — editorial and otherwise.

Festival du Voyageur, the largest winter festival in Western Canada
Every February since 1970, the Festival du Voyageur brings some warmth to the cold season in Winnipeg. This major festive event pays homage to the first inhabitants of European origin to settle at the forks of the Red and Assiniboine Rivers, who were French, and the thousands of Francophone voyageurs of the fur trade who followed them. The festival includes music, dance, a snow sculpture contest, a parade, period food, a sugar shack, a bar, a live presentation on the life of the voyageurs, and so on. Thousands of people take part in the uninterrupted activities in Whittier Park, Fort Gibraltar and St. Boniface, over a period of ten days. The joie de vivre of the Francophones and the French language are showcased throughout the Festival du Voyageur.
A festive mood in Winnipeg
Group Signposting at the Festival du Voyageur
Both the origin of the Festival du Voyageur and its varied programming reflect the pride, joie de vivre and the warm welcome typical of Winnipeg's Francophone community. Like Francophones in the other regions of Canada, Franco-Manitobans love to get together, have fun and encourage their guests to take part in the festivities. The original idea of a Francophone winter festival, first celebrated in 1967, quickly grew, adding the idea of paying homage to the founders of the city of Winnipeg: the voyageurs of the fur trade. Since its first edition in 1970, the Festival du Voyageur has expressed its own original personality and distinguished itself from other winter celebrations through its historic roots and by showcasing the heritage of the voyageurs.
The Forest Family at the Festival du Voyageur
The initiative for the festival came from Georges Forest, a businessman from St. Boniface, originally an independent city that became Winnipeg's Francophone neighbourhood in 1972. Georges Forest was responsible for promoting the new event. To achieve that, he dressed as a voyageur, with the traditional, tuque, ceinture fléchée, boots and snowshoes. He won over his peers and became the first "official voyageur", the first ambassador of the festival. This tradition has continued to this day with the choice of a "family of official voyageurs" that embodies the family dimension of the festival, for the family is very important to Franco-Manitobans and their guests.
Bringing people together
Float in the Festival du Voyageur Parade, circa 1980
Over the years, the festival, which initially mobilized the Francophone community of St. Boniface, grew and made its mark throughout the City of Winnipeg as a major event on the winter calendar. As the original organizers wished, the festival has also become an occasion for Franco-Manitobans from other regions of the province to get together and celebrate the fact that they all belong to the broader Francophone community and share French culture. While the theme of the voyageur is certainly historical, it is also very much a reflection of today's multicultural society, as the fur trade at the beginning of the 19th century brought together Francophones, Anglophones, Métis and Indigenous people. It thus lends itself very well to the multicultural evolution of today's social fabric, while enabling those who participate in the festival to discover some of the striking aspects of Franco‑Manitoban culture.
Who are the voyageurs?
In 1738, Pierre Gaultier de Varennes et de la Vérendrye, a Canadian, (in other words, a Frenchman born in New France) reached the Red River for the first time and had Fort Maurepas built at the forks of the Red and Assiniboine Rivers, where the many Indigenous peoples of the Prairies had been meeting for centuries. De la Vérendrye was accompanied by a number of other Canadians who were to develop the fur trade in the territories of what are today Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and the American states of North Dakota, Montana and Wyoming.
After New France was ceded to the United Kingdom in 1763, the British took over control of the fur trading enterprises based in Montreal, in particular the North West Company, the largest of them, for which hundreds of French Canadian and Francophone Métis employees worked. They were habitually referred to as "voyageurs", that is, individuals who travelled over great distances in birchbark canoes to transport trade goods and furs between Montreal and the territories where Indigenous peoples lived, hunted and prepared furs.
Louis Gagné, A Typical Traveller
In 1821, when the North West Company merged with its rival, the Hudson's Bay Company, based in London, it had about 6,000 voyageurs. The majority of them were French Canadians. These are the voyageurs to whom we pay homage at Winnipeg's Festival du Voyageur. After the two companies merged, the number of voyageurs decreased, because the Hudson's Bay Company moved its merchandise and furs over a shorter distance (through its posts on Hudson's Bay) and employed more British people. Nonetheless, many French-Canadian and Métis voyageurs continued to travel over the Prairies to trade in furs, bison hides and pemmican (dried bison meat mixed with fat and small dried fruit), until the bison herds declined around 1875.

Take advantage of sweet summer peaches with our delicious cobbler. It's even more flavorful when made with white-variety peaches.
In a large saucepan, combine peaches, 1/3 cup of sugar (5 1/3 tablespoons), cornstarch, lemon juice and cinnamon; toss to coat peaches. Set pan over medium heat and bring to a boil; cook until mixture thickens, about 1 minute. Remove pan from heat; transfer mixture to an 8-inch square baking pan.
To make topping, combine flour, remaining tablespoon of sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Work in margarine with a fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add milk; stir until flour mixture is evenly moistened.
Drop 8 tablespoons of topping mixture over peach mixture. Bake until topping is golden brown and filling is bubbly, about 20 to 25 minutes. Cut into 8 pieces and serve.
You can enhance the peach flavor of this recipe by swapping 1 teaspoon of almond extract for the lemon juice. And stir 2 tablespoons of sliced almonds into the topping, if desired (does not affect SmartPoints values).

5 players worth rostering in fantasy basketball
If you're fantasy team is struggling missing players, I've got a few guys who are worth adding and starting.

This has already been a strange and dramatic NBA season, and we're only in the third week. We can't predict which teams will have postponed games, so let's just look at some players for your fantasy basketball team who are under 50% rostered (ESPN), and who are delivering some interesting stats, in the hopes that you can stream them when your starters are out due to covid, or perhaps as keepers if they continue to perform.

Listen to weekly fantasy basketball advice throughout the 2021 NBA season.
Kyle Anderson, Memphis Grizzlies (45% rostered)
Slo-Mo is averaging 12.9 PPG/7.3 RPG/4.2 APG, a stat line only 13 other players are besting. It's not sexy, but it's top 100 production. If he's available in your league, you really don't have a good reason not to pick him up. We tend to undervalue players who don't score near 20 point per game, but Anderson's all around stat cat contributions are extremely useful to fantasy teams intent on competing for the playoffs.
DeAndre Jordan, Brooklyn Nets (36% rostered)
I know, I know, he was benched just a few games ago, but now Brooklyn has to play him because they traded away their front court depth. That's great news for fantasy bargain hunters! In the first game after the Harden trade, here's what DJ did against the Knicks: 29 minutes, nine points, 12 rebounds, two assists, and two blocks.
If DJ can actually play this many minutes, and accumulate this many rebounds, then he'll end up being an extremely valuable fantasy player, especially if Jarrett Allen and Andre Drummond get into a timeshare in Cleveland.
Remember, minutes are like water, they make everything grow. If DeAndre is getting the minutes (and, it sorta seems like the Nets have no choice but to play him), then goddamn, enjoy a waiver wire addition who may be a top five stat cat monster.
Enes Kanter, Portland Trail Blazers (34% rostered)
24 players in the NBA are currently averaging 10+ points and 8+ rebounds per game. Here's the list of NBA players who are averaging those numbers while playing less than 20 minutes per game:
Enes Kanter
We know what Kanter is by this point, but the fact that he can put up near double-doubles in 20ish minutes remains impressive. If you're in need of rebounds, please give him a look. If he gets even five more minutes a game, he's probably a lock to average a dub-dub, the way he's hoovering boards.
UPDATE: With Jusuf Nurkic out for eight weeks, Kanter is a terrific add as he's likely to start at the five for Portland.
Precious Achiuwa, Miami Heat, (8% rostered)
Since regular absences might be the order of the day during this covid season, I'm leaning more and more towards playing guys who won't be rested for load management, or to save them for the playoffs: basically, young guys who need reps and like to run. Enter Precious Achiuwa. (BTW, this rookie class is pretty interesting so far!)
Due to several Heat players being unavailable to play, the rookie has been getting some extended minutes recently. In his first 30+ minute game of his career, he delivered 17 points, 13 rebounds, and three assists. He looks like a vintage Heat player, and I shudder to think how he and Bam Adebayo will look together on defense in a few years. If Precious's shots continue to fall, then he might force his way into more minutes even when everyone's healthy (if that ever happens).
Rajon Rondo, Atlanta Hawks (4% rostered)
Rondo is just a security blanket. You know you'll get assists from him, even in limited minutes. It's unclear how the Hawks will play moving forward, but one thing is certain: Bogdan Bogdanovic, one of Atlanta's big offseason acquisitions, is out injured for quite awhile. While his stats didn't show it so far, Bogdanovic was probably Atlanta's second-best playmaker and distributor while Rondo was out. Now, Rondo's role will probably enlarge to encompass Bogdan's minutes, especially if he can lighten Trae Young's burden of doing absolutely EVERYTHING (excluding defense) for these Hawks.
Rondo, like DJ, is a stat cat monster, but only in one category. On the other hand, he's cheap to acquire, and his production is safe so long as he's healthy. In a season with so much uncertainty, that's a nice asset to have.
