Helen is a charming cultivar of the Allwood pinks.
The borders of spring haunt the dreams of winter, but it is not the upthrusting iris and the bouncing peony that comfort my January sleep; it is the humble cottage pink. Cottage pinks (Dianthus plumarius) have lent their charm to European cottage gardens since the Middle Ages, and they are equally at home in the herbary. They have woven themselves in and out of my borders since I was a child in Connecticut, and I have grown them here in Santa Fe since 1988; with soil preparation and some supplemental watering, they adapt easily to our dry conditions and alkaline clay soil. I love their pert five-petaled single flowers, like little eyes, which also come informally semidouble and voluptuously double. Their carefree, sturdy, drought-resistant foliage forms persistent grassy, spiky tufts or mats of gray to blue-green, decorative even when the plants are not flowering.
My favorite reason for growing cottage pinks is their delicious perfume, clovelike in some cultivars, a light fresh jasmine scent in others. The cut flowers will pour forth their fragrance indoors for as long as a week. Not all pinks are fragrant, though, and the perfume of even the most highly scented types may vary according to microclimate, season, and time of day. Their scent may be savored fresh in bouquets, tussie-mussies, and salads. (Entire flowers, when preserved in silica gel, make a wonderful topper to open-bowl clove potpourris, but they lose their fragrance on drying.)
Most cottage pinks flower in May and June, though occasional blooms open later in the season, particularly where summers are cool. Depending upon the cultivar, blooms measure from 1/2 to 1 inch wide, the petals usually toothed or fringed, sometimes smooth-edged. They are held at the end of their slim stems singly or in loose clusters. As you might expect, colors drift through the pinkish range, but gardeners have been crossing and selecting pinks for centuries, so cultivars exist in white, cream, pink, rose, red, scarlet, burgundy, magenta, lilac, pale yellow, salmon, buff, and orange, often with contrasting edges, stippling, or central "eyes", or a contrasting color on the reverse of the petals. The flowers are edible (single pinks and Johnny-jump-ups make a lovely garnish for a spring salad) and in Elizabethan times enjoyed a reputation as a mild antidepressant.
Because most cottage pinks stand 6 to 12 inches tall, they are perfect for the front of the border, but sometimes I grow them in a bed of their own, making a little inland sea of perfumed bloom, to the drunken joy of hawk moths. They make an enchanting surround for old roses and a fine complement to the lavenders, sages, artemisias, santolinas, catmints, and other gray-leaved Mediterranean and Northern European herbs.
Authorities disagree as to the derivation of the name "pink", but current scholarship suggests that the term comes from the German Pfingsten, or Pentecost, a Christian feast that frequently falls during the pinks' blooming season. What is certain is that the color pink derives its name from the dianthus, not the other way around. It was Carolus Linnaeus, the great eighteenth-century Swedish botanist, who named the genus Dianthus, "divine flower". The genus is now thought to embrace some 300 species and innumerable hybrids and selections, including cottage pinks, carnations (D. caryophyllus), sweet Williams (D. barbatus), and sweet Johns (D. superbus). Most of my favorite dianthuses are perennial, but sweet Williams are considered biennials or short-lived perennials and are often grown as annuals, and there are popular annual pinks as well. Hardiness varies according to cultivar. Most pinks are hardy to at least Zone 5, or 4b with protection: a winter cover of loosely piled evergreen boughs or a location that's sheltered from the wind. Poorly drained soil kills pinks in the winter more often than cold does. All require dry feet.
A lasting fancy
Despite the relative obscurity of fragrant dianthuses among American home gardeners today, few groups of flowers have known as many centuries of popularity. In their excellent book Plants from the Past (Penguin Books, 1989), David Stuart and James Sutherland tell us that pinks were probably introduced to Britain in the early fourteenth century from France. In the Middle Ages, rents were paid with them, and royalty had their portraits painted with them. By the late 1500s, they were among the most popular flowering plants for containers, as they are in Europe today. The seventeenth century saw the beginnings of much deliberate dianthus breeding in England; in the next two centuries, hundreds of cultivars became commercially available, including the feathered or "starre" pinks, with very frilly petals and a pink eye; the "pheasant's eye" pinks, with a dark central blotch and a soft band of color along the jagged petal margins; and the "laced" pinks, fully double flowers with strong color at the margin and base of each petal.
Pinks came to North America with the English colonists, and carnation breeding became the rage in the United States during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, but the breeding of pinks remained far more serious a passion in England than in the colonies. In Britain, regional societies of amateur and professional plant breeders vied with one another to produce pinks that conformed to show standards as stringent as those the rose societies levy on hybrid teas today. By the 1850s, the British considered pinks an old-fashioned national flower with many sentimental associations. In the Victorian language of flowers, pinks speak of pure affection.
Few really old pinks survive, but those that do are wonderfully fragrant. I have grown and loved Fair Folly, a seventeenth-century single flower colored strawberry on white; the five-petaled, fringed, green-eyed white Musgrave's Pink, also called Charles Musgrave (1730); the eighteenth-century Inchmery, a compact, clear lavender-pink double; Dad's Favourite (double white, edged wine), which may date from the eighteenth century; the intoxicating nineteenth-century Rose de Mai (double to semidouble fringed creamy-mauve); and perhaps the most famous of all Victorian pinks, the double white Mrs. Sinkins, introduced to commerce in 1872.
The cottage pinks most commonly offered for sale in American nurseries (such as Spring Beauty) are usually very fragrant and bloom freely. The Allwood pinks (D. ¥ allwoodii), sturdy crosses between pinks and carnations, are also floriferous and may set flowers off and on all summer if deadheaded, but they are not as highly perfumed as the antiques. Good cultivars include Doris (salmon with a red eye), Helen (deep salmon), and Desmond (dark red). Margaret Curtis, a heavily maroon-eyed white; Pink Princess, a fringed double salmon pink; and Raspberry Tart, a double maroon-eyed hot rose, are normally available only via mail order. Another beauty, which bears the odd name Aqua, sports large, powerfully scented, double pure white flowers; its petals burst from their calyx like an eighteenth-century courtesan from her bodice. Because these named cultivars do not come true from seed, they must be propagated by cuttings.
Fragrant dwarf pinks, ranging from 1/2 inch to 8 inches tall, are ideal for rockeries. My favorite species are the pale, fringed sand pinks (D. arenarius) and the compact cheddar pinks (D. gratianopolitanus), named for Cheddar Gorge, their original home in Somerset, England. The wild superb pink or sweet John (D. superbus) has flowers so deeply fringed that they have practically no center and a perfume so pervasive that it wafts through the garden on the slightest breeze. A vase of them by the bed can actually disturb the sleep. A hybrid superbus strain, Rainbow Loveliness, bears flowers in a range of soft pastels, larger and longer blooming but no less fragrant than those of the species. Though hardy in the wild to Scandinavia, the superbuses are not long-lived in the garden—I have never been able to keep any of these more than three years—but they come true from seed, which they set in copious quantities. By contrast, the brilliantly colored annual China pinks (D. chinensis and hybrids), which are commonly sold in garden centers as bedding plants, are scentless, or virtually so, despite some catalog claims.
Carnations (D. caryophyllus) are the best-known members of the pinks, but many people are surprised to learn that they were originally cultivated for their strong clove scent. An old name for the carnation is clove gillyflower, "gillyflower" being a corruption of the French gilofre, "clove spice", itself a corruption of the Latin caryophyllus, "clove tree". Most modern carnations have had the scent bred out of them, but not all. The hardy border carnations produce smaller flowers than the florist's carnation, which though derived from the same species belongs to a different class entirely, the generally tender perpetual-flowering carnations; many hardy border carnation cultivars possess a strong fragrance. Named cultivars are difficult to find in the United States; fortunately, seed strains are readily available. Among those notable for their scent are the Grenadin series, particularly the white and reds; the compact Dwarf Fragrance strain; and a trailing form sold as Swiss Balcony Trailers or Swiss Hanging Basket Carnations. This last produces long-blooming plants with rather sparse, drooping foliage and small, fully double, much-fringed, extremely fragrant flowers in shades of red or pink.
Growing pinks
I start my dianthus seeds indoors in early February, scattering them thinly on the surface of a sterile, well-drained commercial potting medium, watering just to moisten, then covering with plastic and placing over bottom heat. Thus treated, the seedlings spring up within three days to two weeks, whereupon I remove them from the heat. Since dianthuses require bright, cool conditions for best growth, I place my flats on my sunniest windowsill or 2 inches below fluorescent lights in a well-ventilated 50°F room. I keep an eye out for damping-off, a soil-borne fungus disease that attacks seedlings, but it is usually a problem only in soils that are too moisture-retentive. Within three to four months from sowing, the young plants will be ready for transplanting into the garden or pots.
Pinks may also be propagated from slips or cuttings; this is the only way to increase your store of named cultivars. In mid- to late summer, select stocky, thick-leaved, nonflowering shoots from your healthiest plants. Count down three or four pairs of leaves from the tip of the shoot and make your cutting with a very sharp knife or razor blade 1/4 to 1/3 inch below the "heel", the swollen joint where the leaf pair joins the stem. Put the cutting immediately into a plastic bag with a wet paper towel or a teaspoon of water so that it does not dry out at any stage, and keep it out of the sun.
After collecting as many shoots as you want, strip the lower two pairs of leaves off each one. Dip each cutting in rooting hormone and stick it in a flat or other container filled with sand, vermiculite, or a mix of half perlite and half vermiculite that is just moist. Work carefully; do not bury the heel or rub off the hormone powder. Space the cuttings about 1 inch apart in the rooting container. When it is full, cover it with plastic or glass and place it in a well-lit spot shaded from direct sun or a few inches under cool fluorescent lights and atop heating cables. Remove the covering after two or three days, but do not let the rooting mix dry out at any time. Periodic misting will help. In about three weeks or so, your cuttings should begin to turn their tips slightly toward the light and start to grow, a sign that rooting has begun. I usually root more than I need so that I can dig one up from time to time to check on how well it is rooting. When the root ball is the diameter of a quarter, which may take several months, transplant each cutting into a 4-inch pot filled with well-drained soil and transfer it to a cold frame, greenhouse, or light unit until spring.
Pinks require full sun (part afternoon shade in very hot, bright, dry climates) and only moderate water, and they will do best in well-drained alkaline soil on a spot free from standing water year round. Providing these conditions is easy if you are growing dianthuses in pots or window boxes; any well-drained commercial potting mix will do with a bit of lime mixed in. I border my perennial beds with carnations and pinks, so I must deal with dense, heavy southwestern clay, which possesses alkalinity aplenty but virtually no organic matter or drainage.
A month to two weeks before my dianthuses are due to go in the ground, I dig a foot-wide trench with my garden fork where the plants are to grow, removing the clay to a depth of 12 to 18 inches. I loosen the clay at the bottom of the trench, then sprinkle in a light application of dried kelp meal (for micronutrients) and nitrogen-rich cottonseed meal. (If your garden soil is acidic, substitute bone meal for the cottonseed meal and dust the trench with agricultural lime.) Then I mix the soil removed from the trench with finely sifted, well-aged compost, adding coarse sand or gravel for drainage, so that the result is about one-third native soil, one-third sand or gravel, and one-third compost. I backfill the trench with the amended soil, rake the bed smooth, and let it rest until my plants are ready for the outside world.
In my Zone 6a mountain garden, I plant out dianthuses anytime between April 15 and September 15, taking care to harden them off first, then setting them no deeper in the ground than they were in their pots. I water in the starts with a solution of 1 tablespoon each liquid seaweed and fish emulsion dissolved in 1 gallon of water, watching to make sure that the liquid sinks quickly into the soil (indicating good drainage) instead of puddling on the surface (indicating bad drainage and the need for lots more sand or gravel and possible resiting). Then, because I am a fanatic and because dianthuses respond well to foliar feeding, I spray their leaves with the same kelp-and-fish solution until it drips off. That seems to minimize transplant shock.
In my dry climate, I must water with a soaker hose to avoid losing water to evaporation. I lay the soaker hose on the ground around the plants. I've learned by experience that burying it the recommended 2 to 6 inches underground, which might be fine in sandy soils, increases the danger here that too much water will collect around the plants' roots; if that happens and the plants begin to suffer, there is nothing for it but to dig them up and raise their beds or move them to a better-drained location. If you water by hand, mulch the plants with small stones or gravel, or make a little rim of soil around each plant to keep the moisture from running off before it has a chance to sink in. Other than a drape of evergreen boughs, do not mulch dianthuses in winter. Crown rot organisms love moist mulch, and crown rot is the main reason why my beloved Musgrave's Pink died before I had the chance to savor a single green-eyed blossom. I have never had any other disease attack my plants, and insects have not been a problem. In wetter climates, slugs will snack on cottage pinks; beer traps or hand-picking will help control them.

Princess Cays in the Bahamas Back Open After Fire
Photo By: Princess Cruises
Princess Cays which is a private resort by Princess Cruises has reopened to cruise ships after a fire broke out in January 2019.
Princess Cays Back Open!
The private resort in the Bahamas which is owned by Princess Cruises and its parent company Carnival is now back open to cruises. A large fire broke out on January 28 at around 11:00 PM and at first, it seemed the resort had been devastated. Thankfully there were no injuries and no guests at the private destination at the time.
Hi, Marvin. We're very thankful no one was injured, and only one public building (one of several restrooms) was damaged. We have a team on-site now assessing the damage, and should have an update about future calls very soon.
— Princess Cruises (@PrincessCruises) January 31, 2019
We now know new details about the damage and Princess Cruises stated that no guest facilities were damaged by the fire apart from one of the many public restrooms. The cruise line has inspected all the buildings and everything is safe.
Hi, Susan. All upcoming calls to Princess Cays will proceed as scheduled. No guest-facing facilities were impacted except one of several available public restrooms, and all guest facilities have been inspected and reported safe and operational.
— Princess Cruises (@PrincessCruises) February 4, 2019
This means as of today all cruise ships which have scheduled calls to Princess Cays will go ahead as normal. In fact, the impact of the fire has been minimal with only Carnival ships replacing the call including Carnival Pride, Carnival Ecstasy, and Carnival Conquest. The first Princess cruise ships are arriving at the island today.

When the fire broke out that night huge flames were burning palm trees, bushes, and buildings. Well done to the local fire crews for extinguishing the fire around an hour later. Princess Cays is located in the southern part of Eleuthera and isn't just a private island like the nearby Half Moon Cay which is also owned by Carnival.

The actress discusses her role in the upcoming dystopian sci-fi film.
Kate Winslet has discussed her role as a villain in the upcoming film Divergent.
The Oscar-winning actress is to play Jeanine Matthews in the adaptation of Veronica Roth's sci-fi novel of the same name.
Speaking to Total Film about her role, Winslet revealed her excitement at playing the villain, saying: "It's very different. I play a baddie. I play a real baddie. And I'm really mean.
"It was really great - just to do something so totally and utterly different. It was a futuristic sci-fi with the most fantastic script, and it's really based on the idea that in the future you no longer come from a family but you come from a faction, and there are five different factions.
"My character Jeanine is the head of the intelligence faction, but she also wants to take over the whole world."
The Titanic star also went on to share her fascination with the dystopian world where the film is set: "It's quite sophisticated writing, very sophisticated themes. And what I loved about it too is that it doesn't matter how old you are or what's happening in your own life, we will always all want to come from somewhere and belong somewhere, and come from something in order to count.
"It really taps into those values, I think, in a really clever and sometimes sinister way."
It was recently revealed that Winslet had entered talks for Jon Hillcoat's upcoming crime thriller Triple Nine.

Emigration's Effects on Sending Countries
As part of an online back in forth on Google+, after a person claimed that US immigration ruined developing economies, I collected bits of useful information regarding the effect of emigration on the sending country. I used fairly open search terms, emigration effects, and although there were studies that were mixed about emigration, they were few, and one of those is not a study.
One idea I've read, although did not find corroborating evidence of, stated that the drive to emigrate drove up the capabilities of the people left behind. Yes, developed countries often take the best of the developing world, but the drive to emigrate focuses many on education, so the ones left behind, and the country they inhabit, are better off. As an example, if you have 100 people in a country, and you have a system that says 10 can leave that score highest on an exam. Sixty (60) try to raise themselves by studying. At the end, 10 leave, leaving 50 more educated than when they started. So yes, the 10 best were taken, but 50 raised themselves' up, benefiting not only themselves but also their community.
A synopsis of a study by the Rand Corporation:
While the effects of immigration on the receiving country have received a great deal of attention, less has been paid to its effects on the sending country. The available data suggest that, on net, emigration has a positive effect on the sending country. For example, by decreasing the labor pool in the sending country, emigration helps to alleviate unemployment and increase the incomes of the remaining workers. Also, emigres often send money home, enhancing their families' standards of living and thereby contributing both to the home economy and the nation's trade balance. Most emigres are young, male, and married, however, so there can be a destabilizing effect on the family. Some countries have attempted to restrict immigration, in the belief that it does not enhance economic development. However, the evidence suggests that, because of the benefits noted above, this might result in an even greater economic decline than such countries fear.
http://www.rand.org/pubs/monograph_reports/MR244.html
Another positive study:
The two most salient ways migration influences development within Mexico is through remittances and labor markets, according to this report from MPI's Regional Migration Study Group.
When looking at Mexico, this analysis finds that when the labor market effects and household income benefits of remittances are compiled into a model of the Mexican economy, Mexico's fiscal balance appears to benefit from emigration — its economic output rising by 8.8 percent and tax collection by 7.4 percent over the last decade.
http://www.migrationpolicy.org/research/RMSG-development-fiscal-effects-emigration-mexico
And even more positive effects:
Research has shown that workers migrate, find employment, and then move on or return home which discredits the myth that immigrants are flooding into western nations to settle permanently. This temporary migration has a positive effect on the sending nations as the returning workers are more highly-skilled and experienced, able to boost their home economy due to the skills learned abroad.
Further evidence has proven that migrants rarely take native workers' jobs, and they boost employment effects in the long term. In her paper on the impact of immigrant labor on native workers, Amelie F. Constant says that migrants often "accept jobs that natives don't want or can't do [and] they create new jobs by increasing production, engaging in self-employment, and easing upward job mobility for native workers.

GND Consulting and Supply LLC is a leading supplier of valves for oil and gas industry. We provide valves that are manufactured and tested in accordance with respective API, ASME, and ANSI Standards. All the valves are tested and proven to offer a steady flow, high-level of performance, and equipped with advanced actuation solutions that can handle any gas or oil pipeline flow. In addition to that, all our valves are equipped with advanced zero leak technologies, which makes them a preferred choice for various onshore and offshore applications.
Valves are essential components of piping systems. They are used in oil and gas industry for various purposes. In the upstream, valves are used for controlling the flow of oil. However, in the midstream, valves are used to protect the equipment, by controlling the flow of oil and gas. In downstream applications, valves are used during the refining of crude oil. Thus, every engineer serving in the oil and gas industry must be familiar with the different types of valves. If not all, at least they must have a basic understanding of popular valves.
Ball Valves: These valves get their name from a ball-shaped disk, which is designed to control the flow of liquids, gases, or vapors. Typically, ball valves are designed as quarter-turn rotational valves. These valves are made from metallic components, which helps ensure their durability in harsh operating conditions. However, the seat of the valve is always made from a soft material like Teflon. This material combination makes these valves ideal for operating temperatures as low as -200 ºC and high as 500 ºC. These valves offer a tight sealing with a low torque. Some popular types of ball valves available for purchase include floating ball valves, trunnion-mounted ball valves, and full-welded ball valves.
Gate Valves: The valves of this type are bidirectional and are designed to start and stop a flow of fluid. Gate valves are ideal to use when there is a restriction of minimum flow of fluid. While in the service, these valves are kept either fully open or fully closed. The disc of the gate is completely removed when it is in the open condition. This allows easy passing of contents. This valve cannot be easily opened or closed.
Pressure Seal Valves: As the name suggests, these valves are designed for high-pressure services. These valves are distinguishable due to their pressure seal bonnet. This bonnet helps to protect joints, while the internal pressure increases. Generally, pressure seal valves are used for applications involving pressures above 170 bar.
Check Valves: These valves are mainly designed to protect mechanical equipment in a piping system by avoiding reverse flow of the fluid. Check valves are mainly used in compressors and pumps, where there is a huge backflow of fluid. The backflow may damage internal components of the piping system. This causes unnecessary downtime and may affect other parts of the plant, too. Stainless steel check valves are very popular types in this category.
Globe Valves: The valves are used for transporting fuel oil and turbine lube oil systems, as well as in cooling water systems. Globe valves are basically linear motion valves that are used to start, stop, and regulate flow. These valves were traditionally used for throttling and isolation services. However, due to certain advantages like good shut off ability, and easy to machine valve seats, these valves have become popular. Globe valves are available in wye, tee, and angle patterns.

Q: How to check if pictures in different picBoxes are the same? c# windows form I'm doing a quiz for Course Work and I have 15 PicBoxes of letter and 6 empty PicBoxes, and I have the picBox letters (they're from the resources) to enter the empty ones in order as they are clicked but I don't know how to check if the letters are in the order that I want them to be for the answer.
I tried this:
if ((picAns1.Image == picLetter2.Image) && (picAns2.Image == picLetter10.Image)

I'm probably just trying to overthink it but I need help please.

A: The easier solution I can think of would be to use PictureBox's Tag property to define some easily comparable values. When you fill all 6 empty boxes check if it's sorted in order you define.
So if you have letters on those images, just give each PictureBox a string tag representing a letter on that image and at the end go through them and find out if they are in the alphabetical order.

Opinion: Margaret Wente's Massey College appointment reflects Canada's apathy toward racism
Reviewing the summer's controversial incident — and how it goes beyond U of T
By Shernise Mohammed-Ali
DIANA PHAM/THE VARSITY
Margaret Wente is an award-winning Canadian journalist and former staff columnist at The Globe and Mail. She is regarded as "one of Canada's leading columnists," and she holds conservative and bold opinions that have often "provoked heated debate."
Given Wente's achievements, it should have come as no surprise that Massey College, an affiliate of U of T, appointed her — alongside numerous other distinguished appointees — as a member of the Quadrangle Society this summer.
However, despite Wente's ostensible success, many of her pieces have been criticized for racism, sexism, and transphobia, alongside plagiarism. Her views can only be described as staunchly uptight and inherently flawed.
In her article, "Advice to younger women: Practice manning up," Wente argues that young women must learn to withstand sexism and misogyny rather than suggesting that men should drop their locker-room culture. In an article about Nicholas Wade's book, A Troublesome Inheritance: Genes, Race and Human History, Wente contends that genetics, rather than society, have shaped many of the economic and political disparities existent between races.
Furthermore, Wente's 2016 article, "The bullies of Black Lives Matter," described the Black Lives Matter movement in Toronto as "a tiny group of noisy activists who borrow their branding and their belligerence from the United States." She further belittled the motives of the Black Lives Matter movement and mocked the notion of there being systemic racism within the police force.
Thus, the appointment of someone such as Wente to a position within the U of T community prompts the question: how could this have happened?
Despite her resignation from Massey College following backlash toward her appointment from the U of T community, the fact that Wente was able to publish such problematic articles at The Globe and Mail — one of Canada's leading newspapers — and be appointed a position at Massey College reflects a tolerance for racism not only at the University of Toronto, but also in Canada as a whole.
Wente's appointment and subsequent resignation particularly stand out in the current political climate. The filming of the cruel death of George Floyd at the hands of the Minneapolis police resulted in a worldwide reckoning that has made it impossible for people to remain ignorant of systemic racism. We are now at a pivotal moment in history to redefine race relations around the world, particularly in North America.
However, this mission proves to be difficult as many Canadians continuously refuse to believe in the existence of systemic racism within the country. As Canadians, we pride ourselves on our diversity, kindness, and acceptance. There exists a strong belief that discrimination is something that only ever happens south of the border.
In response to the anti-racism protests in the US, Ontario Premier Doug Ford said, "Thank God we're different [from] the United States, and we don't have the systemic, deep roots they've had for years." After receiving much criticism for his remarks, Ford said, "Of course there's systemic racism in Ontario. There's systemic racism across this country."
The reality is that many parallels exist between Canada and the United States — Canada has its own sordid past. However, we often reflect on Canada's history with a convenient ignorance of racial discrimination. We never speak of the 200 years when slaves were forcibly brought to Canada. Nor do we speak of the racial segregation that occurred in primary, secondary, and postsecondary school institutions — including U of T. We have chosen to ignore the epidemic of missing and murdered Indigenous women and only briefly skim over the long history of residential schools.
When understood in the larger social and historical context, Wente's appointment follows a pattern of behaviour within Canada. It is anything but an individual oversight. It represents what is merely a continuation in the long history of oppression and indifference.
There still exists a collective prejudice and ignorance among Canadians when it comes to systemic racism. Wente's appointment — and the fact that issues regarding her beliefs went unnoticed by U of T — underscores this phenomenon. Canada is apathetic toward racism.
We live under the pretense that we are moving forward in the pursuit of justice and tolerance — and that race relations at home don't need to be critically examined. But to ignore racism is to be complicit in its perpetuation.
While Canadians pat themselves on the back when looking at the events occurring in America, our neighbours south of the border have already begun a period of racial reckoning. Across America, remnants of the Confederacy are abandoned. Instead, the streets are flooded with people protesting anti-Blackness as more begin to educate themselves on its history in America. This all marks the beginning of what is hoped to be a new era in race relations.
This is why the appointment of Wente represents such a critical moment for moving forward in a post-racial society. Appointing Wente — someone who openly expresses discrimination — shows that Canadians are complicit in systemic racism. Putting such people in positions of power and influence only serves to drive forward the institutional racism that is deeply embedded within our society. This ultimately results in a continuous cycle that perpetuates the disparities between races.
In an article written after her resignation, Wente preached the idea that the fight against systemic racism stifles the voices of heretics, and she contends that the attack on her is part of a larger crusade against free expression. But, if there's anything Wente can really teach us, it's that Canadians still have a long way to go in eradicating racism and our own deliberate ignorance.

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — Cheyenne Frontier Days' annual report says the outdoor rodeo and western celebration was less profitable last year than in 2016.
The Wyoming Tribune Eagle reports the net profit last year was $887,744, down from almost $1.5 million the previous year. The annual report reveals more than 201,000 visitors purchased tickets in 2017, down from 259,000 in 2016.
But Cheyenne Frontier Days Committee Chairman Bill Berg says last year's Frontier Nights attracted the 12th-largest crowd in history with country music singer Jason Aldean.

La rivière de Mantet (en catalan : « ribera de Mentet ») est une rivière française des Pyrénées-Orientales (région Occitanie), et un affluent de la Têt, fleuve côtier.

Géographie
La rivière de Mantet est un cours d'eau du Conflent (Pyrénées-Orientales), qui prend sa source en amont du village de Mantet, vers  d'altitude, au lieu-dit « Pla de Campmagre », à une distance d'environ  du col appelé « la portella del Callau » (en français : le col du Callau) au nord-est de celui-ci. Elle termine sa course en aval du village de Nyer en confluant avec la Têt, fleuve côtier qui se dirige ensuite vers Villefranche-de-Conflent, Prades puis Perpignan.

Avant sa confluence avec l'Alemany, située juste en contrebas du village isolé de Mantet, ce cours d'eau s'appelle successivement, en partant de sa source :
 le ruisseau du Callau (en catalan : « ribera del Callau ») ;
 la rivière du Ressec (en catalan : « ribera del Ressec »).

De  de longueur, la rivière de Mantet s'écoule essentiellement selon un axe .

Communes et entités administratives traversées
La rivière de Mantet ne coule que dans le département des Pyrénées-Orientales, en traversant deux communes seulement et en en longeant une troisième, dans le sens amont vers aval :

Mantet (source) ;
Nyer ;
à la confluence sur quelques dizaines de mètres, Souanyas ; en effet les cinquante derniers mètres du cours d'eau correspondent à la limite territoriale entre les deux dernières communes citées.

En termes d'entités administratives, la rivière de Mantet prend sa source et conflue dans le même canton d'Olette, lui-même dans l'arrondissement de Prades.

Bassin versant
La rivière de Mantet traverse deux zones hydrographiques (superficie inconnue) :
  La Têt du ravin de Torrens inclus à la rivière de Mentet (Y041) ;
  La Têt de la rivière de Mentet incluse à la rivière de Rotjà (Y042).

Organisme gestionnaire

Principaux affluents
La rivière de Mantet a trois tronçons affluents référencés, d'amont en aval :
 le rec de Campmagre (rive droite : 2 km) ;
 la ribera dels Forquets (rive gauche : 4 km) ;
 le còrrec dels Clots (rd : 3 km) dont :
 le còrrec dels Orriets (1 km) ;
 la ribera de l'Alemany (rg : 6 km) dont :
 le rec dels Bacivers (3 km) ;
 la ribera de Queret (rg : 4 km) ;
 le còrrec de l'Orri (rg : 4 km) dont :
 le còrrec dels Cortalets (2 km),
 le còrrec de Moreries (1 km) ;
 le còrrec dels Colits (rd : 2 km).

Le nombre de Strahler de la rivière de Mantet est ainsi de trois.

Hydrologie
Rivière des Pyrénées, son régime printanier dépend de l'enneigement et de la fonte des neiges.

Histoire
Lors de l'aiguat de 1940, une forte crue de la rivière de Mantet a occasionné de nombreux dégâts.

Sites culturels ou touristiques
Les sites culturels ou touristiques associés à la rivière de Mantet sont, d'aval en amont :
 l'ancien monastère Saint-André d'Eixalada disparu depuis , qui se trouvait sur la rive droite de la Têt en fin de défilé des Graus, environ  en amont du confluent avec la rivière de Mantet ;
 les anciennes thermes de Thuès-les-Bains (remplacées au  par une maison d'accueil spécialisée) et les sources chaudes avoisinantes ;
 les gorges de Nyer dans la réserve naturelle de Nyer ;
 le village isolé de Mantet, non accessible par la route pour les derniers mètres ;
 la réserve naturelle de Mantet, et à proximité la réserve naturelle de Py, ainsi que la forêt domaniale de Tres Estelles ;
 la portella del Callau, col au-dessus de la source, avec vue (vers l'est) sur le massif du Canigou.

by Helen Macdonald
When Helen Macdonald's father died suddenly on a London street, she was devastated. An experienced falconer—Helen had been captivated by hawks since childhood—she'd never before been tempted to train one of the most vicious predators, the goshawk. But in her grief, she saw that the goshawk's fierce and feral temperament mirrored her own. Resolving to purchase and raise the deadly creature as a means to cope with her loss, she adopted Mabel, and turned to the guidance of The Once and Future King author T.H. White's chronicle The Goshawk to begin her challenging endeavor. Projecting herself "in the hawk's wild mind to tame her" tested the limits of Macdonald's humanity and changed her life.

A Grief Observed
by C. S. Lewis
Written after his wife's tragic death as a way of surviving the "mad midnight moment," A Grief Observed is C.S. Lewis's honest reflection on the fundamental issues of life, death, and faith in the midst of loss. This work contains his concise, genuine reflections on that period: "Nothing will shake a man -- or at any rate a man like me -- out of his merely verbal thinking and his merely notional beliefs. He has to be knocked silly before he comes to his senses. Only torture will bring out the truth. Only under torture does he discover it himself." This is a beautiful and unflinchingly honest record of how even a stalwart believer can lose all sense of meaning in the universe, and how he can gradually regain his bearings.

The Truth About Grief: The Myth of Its Five Stages and the New Science of Loss
by Ruth Davis Konigsberg
The five stages of grief are so deeply imbedded in our culture that no American can escape them. Every time we experience loss—a personal or national one—we hear them recited: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. The stages are invoked to explain everything from how we will recover from the death of a loved one to a sudden environmental catastrophe or to the trading away of a basketball star. But the stunning fact is that there is no validity to the stages that were proposed by psychiatrist Elisabeth Kübler-Ross more than forty years ago. In The Truth About Grief, Ruth Davis Konigsberg shows how the five stages were based on no science but nonetheless became national myth. She explains that current research paints a completely different picture of how we actually grieve. It turns out people are pretty well programmed to get over loss. Grieving should not be a strictly regimented process, she argues; nor is the best remedy for pain always to examine it or express it at great length. The strength of Konigsberg's message is its liberating force: there is no manual to grieving; you can do it freestyle. In the course of clarifying our picture of grief, Konigsberg tells its history, revealing how social and cultural forces have shaped our approach to loss from the Gettysburg Address through 9/11. She examines how the American version of grief has spread to the rest of the world and contrasts it with the interpretations of other cultures—like the Chinese, who focus more on their bond with the deceased than on the emotional impact of bereavement. Konigsberg also offers a close look at Kübler-Ross herself: who she borrowed from to come up with her theory, and how she went from being a pioneering psychiatrist to a New Age healer who sought the guidance of two spirits named Salem and Pedro and declared that death did not exist. Deeply researched and provocative, The Truth About Grief draws on history, culture, and science to upend our country's most entrenched beliefs about its most common experience.

The Hunter Gallery plays an integral part in the St. George's School Art Department's mission to fully educate students in the visual arts and the creative process.
The Hunter Gallery is located in the central lobby of the William H. Drury and Richard Grosvenor Center for the Arts. Built in 1999, construction of the building was made possible by the efforts of many caring, dedicated committee members, alumni, teachers, students, parents and friends of St. George's School. With Betsy S. Michel '85-'89 at the helm of the Board of Trustees and Barbara van Beuren '75 at the head of the Design Committee, the dream of building a place where St. George's students could study art, music and theater came to fruition.
The Hunter Gallery offers students, the St. George's community and the public an opportunity to view the work of emerging and established artists from a variety of disciplines. Throughout the year, art from galleries, private collections and artists is borrowed for shows that generally run three to four weeks. Each exhibition is accompanied by an opening reception for the artist and a gallery talk.
