Wherever We Go From Here, We Go Together
Ryan Pitkin Send an email March 25, 2020
What can I say that hasn't yet been said?
Keep in mind, as I write this I just finished a last read-through of the issue that I've been working and re-working over and over for the last two weeks. So you'll have to read the whole thing cover to cover, get all the great perspectives and insights from a range of Charlotte residents on how COVID-19 is impacting them and their communities, then ask yourself: What can Ryan say that hasn't already been said?
Not much, but I'll try.
Ryan Pitkin (Photo by Jayme Johnson)
I can't even think of a fitting adjective to describe the last two weeks and what's occurred since March 10, when we delivered our 2020 Spring Guide only to watch as each event we included was canceled within a matter of days. That feeling will stick with me for some time (I spent three days on that guide!), and certainly inspired how I approached our special COVID-19 issue, which will be delivered to hundreds of doorsteps tomorrow, and will be delivered to some of the outdoor spots that we can still get to.
Rarely does one see a news story that changes as regularly as the COVID-19 crisis, with updates rolling in one on top of the other. Multiple times now I've posted a story on our website with info from a press conference that's outdated because there have been two other press conferences in the time it took me to write it.
So how are you supposed to cover such a story in a bi-weekly paper, knowing that any effort to provide up-to-date information is futile? First off, you save those efforts for the internet.
For print, we decided to go a little deeper, speaking with folks who live and breathe the scenes we cover the closest — arts, music and food — to see how they're living with the impacts of an unexpected hiatus from everything.
As for the news section, I spoke with a Charlotte resident who's living with end-stage cystic fibrosis, perhaps one of the most vulnerable people in our present situation. Our intern Lillian Taylor took to the campus at UNC Charlotte to discuss the fears and concerns of students and professors as the university ordered everyone out of its residence halls. Rhiannon Fionn took a critical look at our local board of education's response to a crisis that left them overwhelmed and unsure of what to do next.
Taken together, all of these stories spread across Charlotte's different communities tell the tale of a city taken by surprise. When that happens, the cliché that many people cling to is the potential for chaos — that the strings of society will unravel and we will eventually reach a place where it's every person for themself.
That's a narrative built on watching too many movies, in my opinion. Sure, you see the greed and self-centered behavior of some folks come out in a time like this, hoarding groceries unnecessarily or ignoring orders to practice social distancing because it's inconvenient or boring.
History shows, however, that these are anomalies. In times of crisis, a vast majority of humans want to help. It's our nature, once we believe our own families and loved ones to be safe and secure, to want to reach out and see who else needs a hand.
This is especially true in the tight-knit communities covered within our pages. In our new issue, you'll find stories about musicians helping musicians despite their own cancelations and lost wages, food and beverage workers coming together in what is arguably the industry's darkest hour, artists adapting to the new normal, and so many of these people doing so with an optimistic attitude.
This crisis is a little different than most, as being there for others means separating yourself from them as best you can, and that can be challenging for the proactive among us who feel the need to get out and help someone. Suppress that desire!
Instead of sitting at home and waiting for things to pass, however, so many Charlotte residents are still being proactive about working online to benefit those hurting the most.
I don't mean for this all to sound like a naïve, pie-in-the-sky ideal. Things are bleak, there's no getting around it. The truth is, things will only get worse before they get better, and as I send our paper out on a Tuesday, I can't even pretend to know what Friday will look like.
What I do believe, however, is that come what may, Charlotte's creative community and the city as a whole will only continue to adapt and face the storm in lockstep, rather than letting anyone struggle alone. All we got is us.

The table is the perfect size for the space. Our garden stools provide some additional seating. Finally, we can have a meal around this table!
I created this little landing spot that makes transport easier and keeps the electronics safe. (Yes, my iPhone has a huge crack on the screen. Ask the 3yr old how that happened) Now I just pile everything in the basket at the end of the day. Easy peasy.
Man, that garden is so overgrown. See, I told you I was scared of it!
I love working outside! Perfect spot you've got!


Although dental implants were originally placed by the ancient Egyptians centuries ago, it wasn't until the late 1980's that dental implants came of age in the United States.
The titanium implant was first used in Europe in the mid 1960's. But it was when it was introduced into the U.S. that its uses and cosmetic applications exploded in development.
A dental implant is basically a titanium screw, which is inserted into and fuses to your jawbone. On this implant a permanent post is placed and then your restorative dentist cements a cap, or crown. There are many variations on this depending upon how many missing teeth are involved.
Sometimes dental implants are used to support false teeth or dentures, which are either screwed into your implants (only your dentist can remove this prosthesis), or the denture is snapped over a retaining bar screwed to your implants. You can take these out to clean.
Dental implants have gotten significantly better over the years and improvements come over months rather than years.

The other two ingots comprised a 7-ounce silver bar stamped "JMC" (Johnson Mathey), with the Canadian maple leaf; and a 1 inch by 2 inch, 1.56-ounce ingot stamped "Berg Bros." (L.A. / S.F.). All were .999+ fine grade silver.
The ingots were offered on Day 1, which kicked off with nearly 100 lots of antique bottles, many of them from the Geoff Pollock Collection, gathered throughout Utah.

The numismatics section – more than 200 lots – featured token dies, tokens, medals, coins, currency, checks, books, so-called dollars and more.
Day 1 was highlighted by a display board containing a near-complete set (72 of 80 medals) of the first 40 issues of the Society of Medallists, 1930-1949 ($1,250); and a complete set of eleven five-ounce .999 silver medallions marking the 50th anniversary of the release of Walt Disney's classic animated movie from 1939, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, dated 1987 ($1,312).
Other first day highlights included a set of twelve sterling silver commemorative coins from the Franklin Mint, titled Norman Rockwell's Spirit of Scouting (1972), nicely framed ($1,100); a lot containing 14 pieces, to include a 1788 Massachusetts penny, a 1787 Fugio cent, eight Civil War tokens and an 1834 Hard Times token ($2,000); an S-B Co. token (Coffee Creek, Mont.), "Good For 5 Cents In Trade" ($1,400); and a print of an 1846 map of Texas/Oregon/California ($1,062).
The session also featured general Americana lots in various categories, to include American directories, 30 or more maps, history and reference books, badges, comic books, World's Fair and Expos, political memorabilia, dolls, circus collectibles, breweriana, cigar and tobacco, Gold Rush items, jewelry and watches, postcards, toys, stereoviews, vintage apparel and Civil War.
Day 2 began with more Americana, including selections of non-mining and railroad stocks from the Ken Prag collection, plus railroadiana and rare western rails. Lots included a stock certificate for 500 shares of the Virginia & Truckee Rail Road Co. (Nev.), issued in June 1869 to Alvinza Hayward, an important Gold Rush and Comstock Lode figure ($1,188); and one cancelled share of the Nevada-California-Oregon Railway (Nev.), issued to Harry Bailey in Sept. 1923 ($1,000).
Day 3 featured high-grade mining ore specimens from the Geoff Pollock collection, as well as artifacts, old mine lighting, explosives and mining stocks, and more of the Prag Silver Mountain (Aurora, Nev.) collection. Also sold was art, assay, bonds, books, hats, ingots, jewelry, fobs, maps, photos, postcards, transportation, Wells Fargo/Express, postal history items and militaria.

Luz D.
You don't have to hide out and play small around here. We do productivity different.
People like us spend our days dancing in the void between who we are and who we could be, and gravitate towards entrepreneurship, freelancing, and other ways of being a self-sustaining professional creative, while others fall into leadership positions because of their talent and ability to get things done that others can't.
You'll see content here that addresses a wide variety of ways that we can show up in the world – because what our current job is means less than what our strengths and talents are, or the weaknesses we strive to overcome throughout our lives.
The bedrock of our success is a combination of self-mastery and personal effectiveness, so a lot of what we share focuses on how to channel our time, energy, and attention into finishing the stuff that matters.
If this resonates with you, we're glad you found us.
Apparently others dig the content here, too, as it's been featured in Time, The New York Times, The Washington Post, and many other places.
A quick note about this "we" business going on. While it's true that Charlie started Productive Flourishing, it's taken a village of people to keep up with him and best serve our community.
There's a lot to explore here at PF, so we recommended starting with one of these fan favorites:

Wrap sandwiches have become hot for lunch. However, this month, we are singing the praises of the wrap sandwich for breakfast. What's more, we're looking at how they can be quick to make, clean to carry and delicious to enjoy. If you want to round out a breakfast, carry some fresh fruit like grapes and maybe a cup of yogurt.
What makes this wrap particularly creative and fun is combine an 8-inch flour tortilla with an omelet made in an 8-inch skillet. The result is a filling that's evenly distributed across a sandwich ... lots of great flavor in each bite. The light cream cheese does a great job of holding everything together. If you are feeling adventurous, try some of the flavored cream cheese spreads that are available instead.
While this is a highly portable breakfast, it's equally at home on a plate at the breakfast table. You might want to skip the waxed paper, which makes it easy to carry, in that case. However and wherever you enjoy it, I hope this fun breakfast sandwich will make you smile and encourage you to start your day right!
In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, shallot, garlic and chives. Spray an 8-inch nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Pour the egg mixture into the pan and cook gently for 2 minutes. Sprinkle with the cheese and then, using a spatula, carefully flip the egg and cook for an additional minute on the other side.
Meanwhile, microwave the flour tortilla for 20 seconds and then spread the cream cheese over the warm tortilla. Slide the omelet onto the tortilla and tightly wrap, pinwheel-style, and place in waxed paper. Serve immediately.

Home Art Art Scene Dara Mark
Dara Mark
By Rebecca Pikus
Dara Mark's exquisite Watercolors almost defy description. Unlike pastoral landscapes, or soft portraits, or floral arrangements — which are the stereotypical subjects for watercolors — she takes an entirely different tangent & approach in her Art. Mark, who now resides in New Mexico, originally received her B.A. from Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut and her M.F.A. from the University of California at Santa Barbara. In recent years, she has had numerous Exhibitions in Santa Fe, N.M. and Taos, N.M.
Viewing her work in person, it becomes apparent that it is indeed hard to describe. In her own words:
"Order and surprise motivate my work in equal measure. Once I have painted a grid of orderly repeated shapes on synthetic paper, the flow of paint settles according to its intrinsic properties. Each pigment I use has its own way of moving and settling, which is inherent but not predictable. When the paint dries, the paper is layered into a composition.
By allowing natural chaos into the work I am continually surprised by the result. The painting becomes a meditative collaboration between me and my materials. Often suggesting biology, geology or landscape, the paintings are named for Greek water nymphs, those gentle beings that embodied the healing powers of rivers and streams, or for local New Mexico landscape features, or for my daily practice of Taoist chi gong (energy work). My chi gong practice consists of a few specified postures followed by simply allowing the body to move, very much like my painting practice. It is effective at the physical, mental and spiritual levels."
Dara Mark – Current Exhibition "Visually Speaking: Color & Light" – Guest Curator: Joe Novak — through December 31, 2016 at Rebecca Fine Art Gallery, 68895 Perez Rd, #7, Cathedral City, Ca (760) 534-5888 — see Dara Mark's work on Fineartvortex.com & Artsy.net – Gallery Hours: WED.-SAT. 11am-4pm, or By Appointment

The Warkworth's Chronicle, now stylized "Warkworths" Chronicle, is an English chronicle formerly ascribed to John Warkworth, a Master of Peterhouse, Cambridge. Known from only two manuscripts, it covers the years 1461–1474 and provides information on the recording and reception of historical events including the accession of King Edward IV and the murder of King Henry VI.

Background, authorship, publication
For a long time the chronicle was known from only a single manuscript, Cambridge, Peterhouse, MS 190, fols. 214v – 225r. Not until 1972 was a second copy discovered, by Lister M. Matheson, in Glasgow Library, MS Hunterian 83, fols 141r – 148v; the chronicle had been overlooked since the catalogue of Hunterian manuscripts incorrectly listed its contents. In both manuscripts, Warkworth follows the Brut Chronicle, as a continuation; that version of the Brut ended in 1419 and is continued until 1461, with the additional text pulled from one of the Chronicles of England printed by William Caxton, itself a continuation of the Brut. Matheson concluded that the continuation in Hunterian 83, covering the years 1461–1474, was added to the manuscript in 1484, and was thence copied into Peterhouse 190, likely under Warkworth's supervision. A third manuscript, British Library MS. Harley 3730, is incomplete but contains material similar or identical to that of the Hunterian and Peterhouse manuscripts.

John Warkworth was Master of Peterhouse from 1473 to 1500, and he owned the Brut Chronicle of Peterhouse 190; for this reason the Warkworth Chronicle was ascribed to him as well, and thus named Warkworth Chronicle. Alexander Kaufman describes how Matheson changed its appellation: "Matheson chose to remove the italics from Warkworth and place the name instead in quotation marks to signify John Warkworth's involvement with the manuscript that contained the chronicle that was, at one time, attributed to him".

The author, says Matheson, must have been a Northerner (based on orthographic and linguistic evidence), "an educated man with some sense of proportion and critical discrimination", likely a bibliophile with access to many texts and connected to the Peterhouse library. Since he was allowed to make additions to a manuscript in that library he must have had a certain standing. Matheson calculates that the author may have been in his late twenties when he wrote the chronicle and identified Roger Lancaster (d. 1502) and Thomas Metcalf (d. 1503), both Yorkshiremen, as the most likely candidates from the list of fellows of Peterhouse.

It was first published in 1839 by the Camden Society, edited by James Halliwell-Phillipps, and reprinted in facsimile in 1988 and 1990. Lister Matheson published an edition (collated from the two manuscripts) as Death and Dissent: Two Fifteenth-Century Chronicles (Boydell & Brewer, 1999). Translated from Old English to modern English in 2005 by Joshua Pond, MBA, archived in the library of Bowling Green State University in Bowling Green, Ohio.

Content
The chronicle covers the events of 1461 to 1474; it is "a well-known and frequently cited source" for that period. Matheson notes that the account of the first eight years are "confused", but that it improves from the account of the rebellion led by Robin of Redesdale (1469). It is especially valuable since it covers "the turbulent events in [the North of] England in 1470 and 1471", since sources for that period are difficult to come by and since it offers a "more provincial viewpoint" in contrast to chronicles produced in London. Given the general propagandistic tone of contemporary chronicles that document the Wars of the Roses, the chronicle is "generally moderate" in tone, even though its probable author was "a Yorkshireman whose sympathies lay with Richard III".

The descriptions of historical events are accompanied by a number of marvels or portents, which can be organized in two categories: natural phenomena, such as a heat wave and an incident of unstinting rain and flooding, which presage political turmoil; and true marvels, including two occurrences of the bleeding of the corpse of King Henry VI in 1471, and the appearance of a headless man crying "Bowes, bowes, bowes" on Dunsmore Heath in Warwickshire. Kaufman suggests that the man might be a barghest, "a fiend that is attached to a specific place", and that "bowes" is a conjugation of the verb "to bow", that is, the barghest signifies that in these difficult times it is good "to bend down in reverence, to be obedient and submit to God's will".

Thomas Pascoe (23 June 1859 – 23 February 1939) was a wheat grower and politician in South Australia. He was a member of the South Australian Legislative Council from 1900 to 1933, representing the North-Eastern District and its successor the Midland District. He was a minister in the governments of Archibald Peake and Henry Barwell, holding responsibilities for agriculture, education and mining, and eventually being promoted to Chief Secretary in the last months of the Barwell government.

History

Pascoe was born at White Hut (part of the locality of Stanley Flat since 2001), near Clare, the second son of Thomas Pascoe, Sr. (1836 – 1 March 1918) and his wife Fanny Pascoe, née Roach. His father, who arrived in South Australia on the Abberton from Crowan, Cornwall in 1848 with his parents and siblings, worked at the Burra mines, married at Penwortham in 1852, made several valuable finds at the Forest Creek gold diggings and established Angle Farm at White Hut and another at Terowie.

Thomas Pascoe, Jr., who may have been educated at Stanley Grammar School, Watervale, and took over management of the Terowie farm (his brother Paul Roach Pascoe ran the White Hut farm) and became a considerable authority on wheat growing. He spent a couple of years farming and mining in Western Australia, but otherwise his whole life was spent in South Australia.

In retirement he lived at 101 First Avenue, Joslin.

Politics
He served on the District Council of Terowie before being elected to the Legislative Council by the electors of the North-East (later Midland) district for the Liberal Party. He retained the seat unopposed for 32 years.

He held several Ministerial positions, and for a short time was Acting Premier when Sir Henry Barwell visited Melbourne in 1923. When the Peake-Butler Ministry was formed in December, 1909, Pascoe was made Minister of Agriculture, and in the Liberal Government of 1912 he held the portfolio of Minister of Agriculture and Irrigation. He was Minister of Irrigation and Minister of Mines. In 1923 he was appointed Commissioner of Public Works, and on the death of Sir John George Bice acted as Chief Secretary under Sir Henry Barwell.

He travelled to every State in the Commonwealth exchanging knowledge regarding the cultivation of wheat, and attended many conferences called by Ministers of Agriculture in the various State Governments.

Family
Paul Roach Pascoe (died 16 September 1944), Francis Pascoe (1856–1935), Sydney journalist, and John Pascoe, Melbourne journalist, were brothers.

He married Florence Eliza Rayner (died 4 October 1953) of Canowie on 28 July 1886. Among their children were:
A son M. Pascoe, ran Booyoolie Station, Gladstone
A daughter married Norman D. Richardson of Strathalbyn

ESPN Anchor Goes On Vulgar Anti-Jesus Rant at Celebrity Roast
By Noel Sheppard | January 20, 2008 10:35 AM EST
In the past few decades, as political correctness has taken hold of virtually every industry, folks involved in sports and sportscasting that have made racist or sexist remarks on camera have typically been fired or forced to make public apologies.
Jimmy "The Greek" Snyder's termination by CBS back in 1988 is a fine example, with the recent two-week suspension of Golf Channel anchor Kelly Tilghman being another.
Yet, given what happened on an Atlantic City dais on January 11, where a high-profile ESPN anchor went on an alcohol-induced tirade which included a vulgar reference to Jesus Christ, it appears public antitheism is not politically incorrect.
After all, until this moment, you probably hadn't heard about this incident, and the person involved apparently has not been publicly admonished for her behavior by her employer.
While you consider such a double standard, Press of Atlantic City reported on January 12 (h/t NB reader Andy Traynor, readers are warned that vulgarity and blasphemy appear after the jump):
Imam Ahmed Alzaree and the Islamic Center of Cleveland Follow-up: Part 2
By Tom Blumer | October 26, 2007 8:39 AM EDT
UPDATE, Oct. 26, 10 p.m.: A Plain Dealer report by David Briggs entitled "New Cleveland imam hopes to ease Muslim-Jewish relations" went up today (Oct. 26) at 1:56 PM. I am deferring comment on it until sometime Monday, as new info has become available that requires vetting (original plan to respond Saturday was moved to Sunday, and has now been moved again).
Note: This has been posted at NewsBusters because it addresses an example of what I believe is lax local media coverage that may be occurring in other communities around the country.
Part 1 covered events and disclosures surrounding the announcement of the appointment, effective November 1, of Ahmed Alzaree to become the new imam at the Islamic Center of Cleveland (ICC), specifically:
The original September 25 blog post and September 26 print edition article communicating the announcement by the Cleveland Plain Dealer's David Briggs.
My September 25 blog post (Wide Open, BizzyBlog, and NewsBusters), revealing a March 2003 sermon given by Alzaree while at his previous post at the Islamic Center of Omaha (ICO), and Alzaree's association with now-deported imam Wagdi Ghoneim.
A follow-up article by the PD's Robert Smith which addressed some of the concerns about Alzaree, but which also left so many items unanswered that it was reasonable to expect that there would be some kind of additional follow-up by the paper in the coming days and weeks.
My post reacting to Smith's story.
The lack of PD follow-up since Smith's report.
In this post, I am reporting a number of additional items that I believe are relevant to Alzaree's imminent ascension to his new position.
Colmes: Offensive to Call Terrorists 'Islamic,' Use 'Books Not Bombs' on Hamas
By Brad Wilmouth | October 14, 2007 4:13 AM EDT
If you thought the proper way to refer to terrorists who commit violence in the name of Islam was by using such terms as "Islamic terrorists," "Islamic militants," or even "Islamic extremists," be on notice that you may be offending Alan Colmes. In fact, even if you refer to the terrorist group "Islamic Jihad" by that name, which is the name the group uses to refer to itself, you're still not in the clear.
MSNBC Gives CAIR Air Time To Smear Rep. Peter King

Media Silent On Justice Department Fraternization With Terror Defendants
By Richard Newcomb | September 6, 2007 11:16 AM EDT
The crew at Power Line has been doing a superb job of following up the case of the Holy Land Foundation, in which the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) was named as an unidicted co-conspirator. The offical indictment can be found in the previous link.


I interpreted the title of the exhibition quite literally. I wanted to capture the raw feeling of anger. Rage! We all have been there, that overwhelming feeling that can come out of us all. When you feel like you have no other options. I want to put you in that moment. When you just can't take it anymore and you are about to explode.
I love using oils and acrylics as a media. I like the slow drying time of oils. The way it stays alive on your canvas for days, for you to alter it as you see fit. Acrylics are the opposite in that they dry extremely fast. Both of these aspects I like to exploit. Mixing the two only makes the whole experience more enjoyable.


Prosecutors want former Khmer Rouge prison chief to be given a life term.
Duch has been charged with crimes against humanity, war crimes, torture and premeditated murder, and faces a maximum term of life in prison.
The tribunal does not have the power to impose the death penalty.
"It does not matter that others may not admit their guilt or fail to cooperate with authorities," prosecutor Chea Leang told the court.
"It is simply inconceivable that anything other than a lengthy sentence of imprisonment should be imposed on him."
She said Duch held a unique, central role in the Khmer Rouge security apparatus and called on judges to reject defence suggestions he was a scapegoat for a regime which had a network of some 200 prisons across Cambodia.
Up to two million people died during the Khmer Rouge's four years in power, wiping out nearly a quarter of Cambodia's population through starvation, overwork and execution.
Since proceedings began in February, Duch, 67, has repeatedly asked for forgiveness, and also argued that he was not a leading figure in the regime saying that he acted out of fear for his own safety and that of his family.
Duch has been detained since 1999, when he was found working as a Christian aid worker in jungles of Cambodia.
The UN-backed court was established in 2006 to try leading members of the regime on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity.
The Duch case is its first trial.
But the tribunal has faced controversy over allegations of interference by the government and claims that Cambodian staff paid bribes for their positions at the court.
The joint trial of four other more senior Khmer Rouge leaders is expected to start in sometime after the verdict in the Duch case is handed down in the new year.
The court is also investigating whether to press charges against five other former Khmer Rouge cadres amid a dispute between international and Cambodian co-prosecutors over whether to pursue more suspects.

Cannes 2019: Robert Pattinson and Willem Dafoe face off in a strikingly realised psychological thriller from Robert Eggers
Robert Eggers brought a spare, stark rigour to his feature debut The Witch that promised much for the future. He more than delivers on that promise with The Lighthouse, an oppressive, richly textured slow-burn of a psychological thriller, pitched somewhere between a silent cinema chiller and a Roman Polanski classic.
Set in 19th century Maine, the film unfolds on a storm-tossed, godforsaken scrap of rock that seems to invite madness. Rookie Ephraim Winslow (a glowering Robert Pattinson) and tetchy old sea dog Tom Wake (Willem Dafoe) are the two keepers embarking on a four-week tour of duty to man the lighthouse.
The insecure Winslow is very much the junior partner in the team. His working life is one of menial chores and none of the important tasks. Wake seems to delight in teasing him and pulling rank. Forced to contend with each other, the duo are also at the mercy of an intense, gnawing loneliness. Winslow conjures up disturbing visions of a mermaid. He can never quite decide if Wake is friend or tormentor, comrade or master.
Filmed in a fierce, shadowy monochrome that encourages comparisons with German expressionism, The Lighthouse is also notable for its attention to detail, rich use of salty period language, and unexpected shards of black comedy. In terms of silent cinema, this is as much the child of FW Murnau as it is the offspring of Buster Keaton.
Some of the dialogue might have come from the pages of Herman Melville and the complex, shifting relationship between the two men seems to belong in a Harold Pinter play. Perhaps just a little too slow for all tastes, The Lighthouse is still a strikingly realised, utterly compelling danse macabre, sustained by the tremendous double-act of a lip-smacking Dafoe and a mesmerising Pattinson.
Screened as part of the Cannes Film Festival 2019. General release TBC.
Directed by: Robert Eggers
Cast: Robert Pattinson, Willem Dafoe
Ephraim (Pattinson) and Tom (Dafoe) are two lighthouse keepers in 19th century Maine who find that the isolation is getting to them. A slow-burn psychological thriller with rich use of salty period language and unexpected shards of black comedy, filmed in shadowy monochrome: the result is somewhere between FW Murnau and…

VIDEO: American Idol's Siobhan Magnus gives "Performance Of The Night"
Mar. 17 2010, Published 1:35 p.m. ET
Tuesday saw the first performance of the American Idol Top 12 - boys and girls together - and to kick it off in style and give it a bit of a rock edge it was Rolling Stones night!
It was inevitable that rock chick Crystal Bowersox, who Simon has already branded "the one to beat" would, well, knock the socks off the competition - and she didn't disappoint, but in a surprise move Siobhan Magnus came out of the gate and raced ahead, garnering rave reviews from all the judges and even getting rare praise from Simon, who called her the "standout performance of the night".
First off for the night, and getting the show off to a good start, was Michael Lynche, singing Miss You. Michael shared a moving home life story, explaining that it was the dbeloved mom's death . Michael received mainly positive reviews from the judges, with the exception of Simon who commented, "I thought the performance at times, particularly your dancing, was kind of corny. It was verging at times a tiny bit desperate." Randy raved though, "It reminded me how great a performer you've become. You slayed them. Way to start the show!" Ellen chimed in, "What's not to love about that Mike? At some point I'm going to be disappointed, but not yet. Good, good, good." And Kara weighed in, "You've got to fill up that stage, you delivered attitude and swagger. You were hot on stage."
First awkward moment of the night was when Ryan Seacrest faced up to Simon Cowell and demanded he "help Mike out" and tell him what part he thought was corny. Ryan walked right up to the judges' desk, forcing Simon to move back his chair and tell Seacrest, "Back off now, back off." As usual, it all ended in jest with Simon quipping to Ryan, "We can sort this out later in my trailer."

Next up, Didi Benami showed us her home in Los Angeles, saying she moved there four years ago from her home in Knoxville, TN. Didi shared that she was the middle sister of three girls, and that she was always the "artistic dreamy one". Didi said, "I'm actually the person that pushes myself the most in my family" before going on to perform her version of Play With Fire. Randy raved, "I think for the first time for me in weeks, you are on fire tonight. That was one of your best performances." Ellen commented, "You have an amazing voice, you lost your way but you got right back in the song." Kara wasn't quite sure, saying, "I think sometimes when you push on your vocals you lose your way a bit. But I like your intensity. For me It was 2 steps in the right direction. You are moving towards who you are as an artist." Simon pretty much summed it up with, "You are beginning to show us who you want to be. I have been a fan of yours for the last 2 or 3 weeks and again it was a very solid but not brilliant performance."

Kara's cougar favorite, Casey James, grew up in an "itty bitty town" called Cool in Texas. Casey's mom said that when he was a baby he was very sick and the doctor told her he would be brain damaged and never speak. She went on to say that she knew that wasn't the case when she heard him singing in his crib. Obviously close, Casey admitted, "I wouldn't be where I am today without my family." Casey nailed his take on All Over Now. Three of the judges were in agreement with their praise, Randy said, "I'm excited about this. I loved it, you are back to the artist I loved, I loved it. You are back for me." Ellen agreed, jokingly saying, "Most women, their hearts are racing right now, but then for women like me.....blonds...I thought it was fantastic." Kara raved, of course, "Tonight you were a rock star. It had a country kinda twang but it had blues and soul and that is what I have missed from you. This was your best performance since we met." Simon though begged to differ, "I actually don't agree with that. For me that was like an audition performance. You've got to push yourself, it has to be more than that. Just be a star"
VIDEO: Michael Lynche Raises The Bar For The Top Ten Men
Lacey Brown told America she's from Amarillo, TX, and that she comes from a very supportive family. Lacey, whose dad is a pastor, said, "The church has had a big impact on me musically." Her dad said she's always been shy so it's amazing to see his daughter "up there on the stage, looking into the cameras and performing." Unfortunately though, Lacey wasn't so lucky with the praise tonight. She gave a lack luster rendition of Ruby Tuesday that garnered her lukewarm reviews from all of the judges. Randy said, "I wasn't jumping up and down about it vocally, it wasn't a wow moment but you kind of held it together." Ellen commented, "You like to sit on the edge of things, don't go to the Grand Canyon. It was a tiny bit sleepy for me. But I'm a fan of yours." Kara agreed, "It was 50-50 for me. Hearing your voice up there is great. But there were some issues where you didn't hit the notes right. You can do better. You could of put more into it." Simon got straight to the point, as usual, "You perform like an actress. Everything is really, really precise. Nothing wrong with the vocals, the song was OK. You need to stop over thinking this, and let yourself go a bit."
VIDEO: First Four American Idol Contestants Voted Off
Andrew Garcia talked about how he grew up around gangs, and how his parents never had any money when he was young. He went on to say that one day he "just picked up a guitar, I wanted to known for something but I never thought I wanted to be a singer." Andrew kept the mixed reviews coming with his performance of Gimme Shelter. Randy said, "I love the song, I love the Stones and I love you but it was pitchy everywhere, man, it was pitchy everywhere.." Ellen disagreed, raving, "What do I know? I think it was your best performance yet. I loved it." Kara was undecided, commenting, "There were elements that we heard what we have been missing. I wanted to feel what you were talking about. I felt it at times but most of the time I didn't. The connection bothered me the most out of that performance. I wanted more intensity." Awkard moment of the night number 2 followed with a fight between Kara and Simon over the intenstity of Andrew's performance and of the Rolling Stones. In the end Simon was also undecided though, saying, "I am in the middle. You gave it 100% but my gut is you were better in rehearsals than tonight. I genuinely hope you survive another week."
EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: American Idol Contestant Has No Regrets About TV Meltdown
Katie Stevens took America home to Middlebury in Connecticut, Katie said when she was younger she was "very shy and couldn't perform in public" something her mom disagreed with, even dragging out an old clip of Katie at 4 performing at her uncle's wedding! Katie, who has been accused of not being "young enough" chose Wild Horses, and it turned out to be a wise choice. Randy praised her, "It is a great song if you sing it well it's all good all the time. I actually thought you sang that really well. A couple of pitch issues but you corrected them. It was a really strong performance." Ellen said, "I thought it started a bit pitchy but sounded good once you got into it, great song, good choice, good choice." Kara conceded,"It is never technically perfect with you but it was better than last week, it definitely was." And even Simon gave a, mainly, positive review, "I would say this is the only week you have chosen a very strong song. I didn't like the second half of the arrangement because I think you lost the emotion. But it's the first time I think you connected with a song, you made a difference and you gave it 100% Well done."

Tim Urban murdered his version of Under My Thumb, getting a thumbs down from all the judges. Before performing Tim confessed that he was one of ten kids, and that his sisters used to dress him as a little girl. Tim said growing up in such a large family means he "will always be part of an Urban family, but it would be awesome to be known as Tim Urban, away from that." But after his beyond weird performance it doesn't look likely....Randy commented, "I didn't get that dude. It was very bizarre. The whole Reggae version of that. It didn't serve your vocals well. I didn't like it." While Ellen quipped, "I'm going to boo myself first. I Felt like I was a resort drinking a pina colada and listening to someone sing. There was nothing wrong with it. I just didn't like it, it didn't wow." Kara was kinder, saying, "I applaud you for doing something so incredibly different with the song. Whether you like it or not you made it your own." Simon scathingly commented, "I applaud you for doing something different, it is quite a boring song anyway, having said that it didn't work. A lot of people that are Rolling Stones fans were turning off their TV sets at that point."

Siobhan Magnus told America she is from Cape Cod, Mass. Siobhan claimed she comes from "a huge family" and that "they are a support system. They're there for me. I could ask them for anything." Siobhan scored rave reviews for her very dramatic take on Paint It Black. Randy gushed, "Bringing the drama to season 9. That was hot, that was hot!" Ellen heaped on the praise, "I loved the way you look tonight. I love the way you sound. I love the way you did that song. You rise above. You're like Snooki's poof. You stand out." Kara raved, "I'm having flash backs to Adam Lambert. The best interpretation tonight. You did the most with the song, most interesting." And even Simon was glowing in his review, "The standout performance of the night. I see the development, you look interesting.You're going to have to scream at the end of each performance now, and a lot of people will love that but a lot of people genuinely will hate that and that is the place to be, better than being indifferent and boring."
EXCLUSIVE: Crystal Bowersox's S & M Aunt Whipping Up Support
Lee DeWyze admitted that 6-months-ago he was living paycheck to paycheck, working at a paint store. Lee went on to say when he was younger he "used to be really embarrassed to perform in front of people" and that he still suffers from nerves. You'd never know though, Lee delivered a strong rendition of Beast Of Burden. Half the judges raved, half remained lukewarm. Randy said, "You know what I love? You came home with this. You did the whole singer/songwriter thing. It was a cross between John Thomas and Dave Matthews. It was dope." Ellen agreed, although commented, "I thought it was great and you sounded great. I was expecting a tiny bit more from you though. It was a little less than I expected." Kara raved though, "You are growing faster than anybody on this stage. Every week you're getting better. Tremendous growth." Simon held back on his praise, "I really like you as a person. I like the whole story, you worked in a paint shop and really wanted to be a star. Your personality is holding you back, you picked a very safe song and other people have had bigger moments. The frustrating thing is that you have such an incredible voice. I hope you come back next week, and stamp your personality it on it."
EXCLUSIVE: Tasered American Idol Hopeful Has Long Arrest History
Paige Miles, who is born and raised in Naples, Florida, told a sad story about her dad being paralyzed when she was 2 and then dying when she was only 4, leaving her mom to struggle and raise Paige and her brother on her own. Paige said she "grew up with my mom singing in church so I grew up singing in church too." Paige went on to mainly garner positive reviews with her take on Honky Tonk Woman. Randy said, "You did alright with it. You pulled it off. I wishede you had more energy and rocked out more but liked it." Ellen heaped on the praise, "I love that you used the stage, you have great star qualioty and presence. You sounded great. No one would know you were struggling with your voice." Kara said, "At times you may have gotten a little lost but you worked the stage and the young Paige is back." Simon asked hat her voice issues were, and Paige said she had laryngytus! Simon pretty much slammed her performance though, "You hit some big notes. It is something you would hear in a bar and you still haven't connected. It was an old fashioned performance."
EXCLUSIVE: Crystal Bowersox On The Attack - With Spaghetti!
16-year-old Aaron Kelly shared that he is from Stonestown in New England, and that he was adopted by his mom when he was 5-years-old. Aaron said he was "the only one that sings in my family" and that "to be the next American Idol would be a dream come true." Aaron scored a home run with his mature version of Angie, with all the judges heaping on the praise. Randy said, "Your mom was absolutely right, you were born to sing. I like you. I could almost hear a little Justin Timberlake in there. I thought it was hot." Ellen joked, "Are you trying to do your hair like mine now, are you trying to copy me?" Before going on to comment, "I thought that was a great song choice. Next to Siobhan that was another performance that stands out. Beautiful." Kara raved, "I beat you up last week, but you showed me tonight. It was very powerful. Really great." And even Simon gave up some props, "I did fear for you this week when I knew it was the Stones, but you chose, absolutely, 100% the right song. What you did cleverly, you sang the song within the limits of your vocal this time. You haven't got a big voice but it was in tune and it was believable. It was one of your strongest performances."
Simon Cowell Will Focus On X-Factor After Leaving Idol
Last but not least was Simon's favorite to date, Crystal Bowersox. Crystal, who is from a "small rural area of Ohio" said that she's always appreciated that her "dad has always been really supportive of my music." Crystal went on to say that she started writing music at the age of ten, before claiming, "As soon as I picked up a guitar I knew this is what I was born to do." The single mom belted out an acoustic version of You Can't Always Get What You Want. Though the reviews were still positive, the judges had some stern warnings for her, with even Simon conceding that she had been beaten that night. Randy said, "I don't think it was your best performance, there were a couple of problems in it, but I love you. You didn't disappoint me tonight though, I still love you." Ellen said, "You sing with such ease, it's so effortless for you. You are born to be on the stage. You were playful tonight. I started to see a little more personality and I love that. Show more personality, play more." Kara, "You were so comfortable up there. It wasn't your greatest vocal but it was great." Simon gave a mixed review, "You came out here tonight 100% the clear favorite and I think you chose a song that didn't have the drama and tonight I think you were beaten by someone, and that was Siobhan. Just when you think you have the competition in the pocket you need to dig deep and come out here and kill."

Los Angeles Rams All-Pro wide receiver Cooper Kupp cut his teeth in the great state of Washington before taking over the NFL.
Long before Cooper Kupp led the NFL in catches (145), receiving yards (1,947) and touchdown catches (16), he was just a two-sport high school athlete turned FCS wide receiver from the great state of Washington.
The Los Angeles Rams used their third-round pick on Kupp in the 2017 NFL Draft. He was the 69th overall player taken that spring (nice!), and while he had been an incredible receiver for the Rams for years, he broke out in a big way during his fifth season in the league. If he plays up to his standard, Kupp could be a big reason why the Rams beat the Cincinnati Bengals in Super Bowl 56.

Kupp hails from the Harvard of The Palouse, known as Eastern Washington University. He is among the holy triumvirate of Eastern Washington Eagles with the likes of iconic sports talk radio host Colin Cowherd and noted college football head coach Jim McElwain. While Cowherd and McElwain were at Eastern Washington at the same time and were friends, Kupp wasn't born yet.

Kupp hails from Yakima, Washington. It is about 60 miles from Mt. Rainier in the south central part of the state. Kupp played his high school ball at Davis High School for the Pirates. Other distinguished Davis alumni include baseball pitchers Todd and Mel Stottlemyer Jr. and Jordan Fry, the actor who played Mike Teavee in the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory starring Johnny Depp.
Kupp's father Craig and grandfather Jake played in the NFL during their playing careers as well.

I'm a pediatric ophthalmologist in Charlotte, NC. I started making crosswords while procrastinating writing the annual family Christmas letter. My toddlers' exploits were fascinating, no doubt, but a holiday-themed crossword was more fun to conceive and share. I've been hooked ever since. I put NYT publication on the bucket list and was flummoxed when my second submission was accepted.
As for this puzzle, I saw HATCH hidden in WHAT CHILD IS THIS during Christmas puzzle-making and tried to uncover a few more hidden entrances. That effort fizzled, but a different definition of "entrance" proved fruitful. FRENCH ANTILLES seemed like a winner, and I was lucky to find some other decent entries. The fill was crummy in the SW with the HIDDEN ENTRANCE revealer, so I switched to the current incarnation. Given the awkward themer lengths, low word count, and open corners, I'm mostly happy with how things turned out.
I gleaned some lessons through Will's editing. First, if you start your debut puzzle with a chemical weapon, it's best not to pun about it ("Tool to spread the mustard!"). Also, crosswordese (LIA/III) is preferable to an impolite entry (44-Across: ??AZ). Thanks to the editorial staff for the acceptance and polishing.
I learned much of the construction craft by reading critiques on the crossword blogs, where mid-week puzzles are often savaged, so I harbor a masochistic curiosity in them today.
I doubt I'll end up as the Minnie Minoso of crossword-making, but hopefully, this won't be my last effort. Many thanks to my parents for their test solves and to my wife Julie for sacrificing the Holiday missive.
Three good finds, ENCHANT, RIVET, and DELIGHT spanning across phrases. Tough to discover such long words inside colorful themers! FRENCH ANTILLES was particularly DELIGHTful, almost as if the crossword gods had planted that, just waiting for it to be unearthed.
Oddly, SIDE LIGHTING was the least DELIGHTful to me, as the term felt a bit stilted (at least compared to how snappy DRIVE THROUGH is). It does appear to be a real thing in photography, though. MADE LIGHT OF would have hit me more strongly.
I must admit, I didn't totally grok the theme. MAKE AN ENTRANCE (ah, that's why Ben didn't use MADE LIGHT OF!) relates to these "captivate" synonyms … how? Isn't making an entrance more being flashy, showy? Huh.
I would have liked a stronger connection, something that better explained "hidden words meaning captivate." Not sure what that would be, though. Perhaps a fourth themer, without a revealer, leaving the solver to make the connection?
Such strong gridwork for a debut — now THAT I found DELIGHTful! Entries of length 12-14 are so awkward, forcing bad spacing in a 15x15 puzzle. Note how squished together the four themers had to be. But Ben hardly blinked, even working TATER TOT though three themers.
And few constructors would tackle big corners like the NW / SE. A 7x4 chunk of white will almost always require some crossword glue or a bunch of blah entries, especially when one side of it is fixed in place by a themer (FRENCH ANTILLES). There is OTIC in the NW, but to work in GAS BOMB (which I *think* is a real thing?) and BARNARD is good stuff.
Opposite corner turned out well, too. TOE POKE wasn't familiar to me, but it makes sense, and I've certainly seen enough kid soccer games to know what it was. Along with GO KAPUT and zero dabs of crossword glue, it's strong work.
Wish the revealer had a bigger impact; a sharper a-ha moment. The grid execution was strong enough, with three great long-words-hidden-within-themers, that it could have been a POW! contender if it had.
ADDED NOTE: Moron here. Not an ENTRANCE as in a way in, but ENTRANCE as in "captivate." D'oh! I even thought about it for a few hours and still didn't make the connection until I read Ben's note. Glad I did! A bit too clever for me, apparently.

Sick leave is not earned during periods of leave when an employee is not in pay status. While an employee is on a paid sick leave (or vacation leave) they do accrue leave.
The University may refuse to pay sick leave pay if it is determined that the claim for sick leave is fraudulent based on authorized purposes. Sick leave abuse occurs when an employee uses sick leave for unauthorized purposes or misrepresents the actual reason for charging an absence to sick leave.
In accordance with Illinois Public Act 83-976, employees who terminate and have a sick leave balance of time accrued and unused from January 1, 1984, until December 31, 1997, shall be paid for one half the balance. This is the only sick leave payable upon termination or retirement.
All Civil Service employees are granted 20 extended sick leave days per each fiscal year on July 1. These days are available only for the employee and only for a major medical illness. Any unused days do not carry over from year to year.
Extended sick leave will be available for use on the sixth consecutive work day missed due to injury or illness for most employees, unless they are covered by a collective bargaining agreement. Represented employees need to review their union agreement to view the usage requirements.
Civil Service employees may be eligible to earn sick leave. Full time status employees, learners, and trainees earn leave while extra help and temporary civil service employees do not. Civil Service exempt employees and open range employees accrue one day per month. Part time employees earn sick leave pro-rated to their appointment percent. There is no limit to the amount of unused sick leave an employee may accumulate. Represented employees should consult their most recent collective bargaining agreement.

I'm very proud to present you the biggest project I've ever made.
Lost Heaven is a fictional city in the PC game "Mafia 1", which gave me the inspiration to build a track in the style of the early 30s.
All in all I hope you enjoy this track and the journey to the past.
There are currently no setups for Lost Heaven Countryside. Add a Setup.
just tried your track, I like it, though whilst driving around the hairpin on the back road it feels as if I am being rammed from the rear & AI drivers almost come to a stop at the exit of the tunnel for some reason, hope you are able to fix these bugs.
LOT OF BUGS on this track. --- but really nice looking! please fix the issues then it will be wonderful.
Track looks great! If you please, I just wanted to ask what mod that beautiful Mercedes is from, in the second screenshot.
Thanks for the track, I look forward to sampling it!
I do like the track very much!!!
However, while I was driving, I noticed a couple (4 or 5) of strange bumps in the black asphalt section (before thr bridge) that makes my car very jumpy at the rear.
I've put a mediafire link to the download for V1.0, could act as a backup. Just to help the track creator out slightly.
Also the track does work, redapg was correct, you have to wait for a while for the track to load.
Looking forward to future versions of the track Thomas!
Concerning the problems: The Track is very large so it can take quite a long time to load it.
I will upload it a second time and put the objects in a MAS file.
Please be patient the track will be fixed soon.
The resource you are trying access belongs to an account that has not yet been validated"
Edit: Sorry, wasn't trying to pile on. Cvilla's post hadn't appeared on my page yet when I posted.

Sculpture Commissions
Richard Erdman makes sculpture by commission ranging in scale from monumental public artworks to more intimate interior pieces for private collectors. See our commission process:
Richard collaborates with collectors, art consultants, designers, & architects to create original sculpture.
The commission process begins with an in-depth conversation with Richard.
With an understanding of the project & budget, we prepare a proposal with renderings, sketches, & models.
If the proposal is accepted, we present a detailed agreement outlining the scope of the project, timeline, & costs.
We regularly update clients with visuals from Richard's Carrara, Italy, studio as the work is being made.
The below proposal was made for a series of five Carrara marble sculptures for a Whipple Russell Architects project, Richard's second with Marc Whipple. Through collaboration and diligent aesthetic consideration, architecture, and landscape, these five new works – Spira, Arête, Aria, Odyssey, Aurora –represent a vivid cross-section of stone's possibilities, creating an enriched experience on both the individual and collective scales. Installation February 2020.

"Sculpture serves as a portal to internal and subjective experience and carries the potential to enhance a client's specific vision. My medium of choice — stone, and especially Italian marble — is tied to some of the world's oldest architectural works, and I delight in imbuing the ancient material with new life in innovative settings. With collaboration and diligent aesthetic consideration, architecture, landscape, and sculpture can harmonize for an exponentially enriched experience on both the individual and collective scales." - Richard Erdman

This volume presents testimonies penned by ellen g. White during her sojourn in Australia. Except for an occasional reference to the local field, the reader would not detect that the writer was in another continent, for the instruction is world wide in its scope. It is a fact, nevertheless, that the revelations given to Mrs. White had a direct bearing on current issues and the development of the work at the time of writing. It is understandable, therefore, that there are represented in this volume topics which were related to the lines of work being developed in the Australasian field during this period. Publication of the book took place late in the year 1900, shortly after Mrs. White had returned to the united states.
In its topical arrangement, volume 6 is quite different from the preceding five volumes. Up to this time the testimonies had first appeared in pamphlets and small books as counsel was progressively given for the church. The articles were printed largely in chronological order, and dealt with almost every phase of christian experience and every line of denominational work. As the content of these thirty-three publications was reprinted in volumes 1 to 5, the original order was left unchanged. A number of the articles were communications addressed first to individuals and later published for the church because the cases presented illustrated the experience of many others. Some of the articles dealt with local situations and special issues. There was some repetition of thought, as important lines of truth were stressed again and again as the church was in danger of neglecting some line of work or of letting slip some church standard. These testimonies bore rich fruit in the lives of seventh-day adventists and in the work of the denomination.
With the publication of volume 6, eleven years after volume 5 was issued, the testimonies for the church took on a new form. The work of the denomination, now becoming world wide in its scope, presented needs and problems which called forth considerable counsel and instruction in certain particular lines. This represented largely an amplification of lines of instruction presented in earlier years and a re-emphasis of counsel. Consequently it was not difficult, when the articles for volume 6 were gathered for publication, to arrange them in topical order.
That Mrs. White might assist in the starting of a training school in Australia, she was asked to go to that field in 1891. She led out in the appeals for the school and assisted in laying plans for the work. Being in a new field, there was little by way of past experience or precedent to influence the plans. Under these favorable circumstances, and with the spirit of prophecy counsels to guide and guard, the australasian missionary college was established in a backward country region. From this training center, australian youth, with the practical education gained at Avondale, were to serve in the home fields and to penetrate the far-flung islands of the south pacific. In its rural environment, in its broad industrial program, and in some other features the Avondale school was to become a pattern school. As the instruction concerning the conduct of our educational work was presented anew to guide and mold this institution, entering into the many details of location, finance, curriculum, discipline, and administration, it was included in this volume for the benefit of the church around the world.
When Mrs. White reached Australian shores, she found a work well begun, but still in its infancy. In the aggressive evangelistic program which was developed and fostered, not only the evangelists themselves were engaged in service, but in not a few cases they were joined by their wives in giving bible studies and sometimes in preaching. Several well-planned evangelistic camp meetings were held, which were carefully followed up so as to conserve the harvest. There were many conversions, followed by baptisms and the organizing of new churches and the building of meetinghouses.
Not only in the planning for the work was the influence of the spirit of prophecy felt, but Mrs. White herself took an active part in preaching, in personal work, and in assisting in the raising of money for the new church buildings. Counsel regarding these phases of our work is found in this volume.
It was in the times of volume 6 that seventh-day adventists became more fully mission conscious and accepted the whole world as a field of labor. The building and launching of the mission boat, "pitcairn," in california in 1890 fired the imagination of young and old alike and focused attention on an around-the-world mission program. The reports of the voyages of the "pitcairn," as it pioneered mission work in the south sea islands, were eagerly watched by all.
It was not long until colporteur evangelists entered India with our literature, and in 1894 our missionaries in Africa pushed up into distinctively native territories and established the solusi mission, our first foreign mission among heathen peoples. Ministers were also soon sent into south america. Then, too, Mrs. White's presence in Australia for nine years as a pioneer worker helped to keep the eyes of seventh-day adventists on the ends of the earth and to place emphasis on the admonition given on page 31 of this volume: "it is our work to give to the whole world,--to every nation, kindred, tongue, and people,--the saving truths of the third angel's message." throughout the volume various mission fields are mentioned by name, and appeals for men and means are presented, together with counsel and encouragement concerning the work in different lands.
A number of colleges and worker training schools were started during the times of volume 6. Early in the period union college at lincoln, nebraska, was opened in 1891 and walla walla college in the state of washington in 1892. The others were in australia, south africa, and denmark. Sanitariums were also opened at boulder, colorado, in 1896, in denmark and south Africa in 1897, and at south lancaster, massachusetts, in 1899. Two new publishing houses were added to the list of institutions, one in hamburg, germany, in 1895, and the other in buenos aires, south america, in 1897. Church schools presenting elementary work were also begun in several places.
Though many warnings were given against large denominational centers and centralizing tendencies, the steadily growing work seemed to require more people and larger facilities at our denominational headquarters at battle creek, michigan, and plans were even initiated to bring certain lines of denominational work under central control at battle creek. Thus instead of the plans for the work of various sections of the field being laid by those on the ground, they were directed largely from the home offices in battle creek. This had the appearance of business efficiency, yet it actually was a serious menace to efficiency and vital leadership in the work of god. Through the nineties these tendencies developed rapidly, but in god's own time and in his own way they were checked.
It was in these times and under the influence of the spirit of prophecy counsels that the ground structure was laid for organizational changes in the administration of the denomination's world work. As the cause was pioneered and developed rapidly under the favorable conditions of Australia, steps were taken to bind the local conference organizations into a "union conference," thus establishing an organizational unit between the local conference and the general conference. This made possible, on-the-ground planning by the group of workers close to the problems, and thus relieved the general conference of many minor details. The result was encouraging and formed the pattern which was soon to be followed throughout the denomination.
In the lines of medical evangelism a beginning was made in Australia during this period, but in the united states it was a time of great expansion. A medical college was set in operation which attracted an increasing number of seventh-day adventist youth desiring preparation as medical missionaries. New branch institutions were opened, receiving their guidance, finance, and personnel from the great parent institution at battle creek. A large work was also launched for the fallen and unfortunate. But good enterprises are often threatened with the danger of overemphasis, thereby bringing an unbalance into the work of god as a whole. So now it seemed that the medical missionary work, which had been designated as the right arm of the message, threatened to become the body.
Too, while there was great advance in the development of medical missionaries and medical missionary work in connection with the battle creek sanitarium, there was growing indifference on the part of some seventh-day adventists to the basic principles of healthful living. These conditions help us to understand the significance of the repeated appeals in volume 6 calling the people to higher standards of living, urging a united medical and evangelistic ministry, delineating our duty to orphans and the aged of the household of faith, and cautioning against an unbalanced work.
As the denominational work developed in many fields, literature found an ever increasingly important place. Colporteur evangelists constituted an army, with the individual colporteur a part of the recognized staff of gospel heralds in each section of the world field. In not a few instances these literature evangelists had formed the spearhead of attack in carrying the message to new and distant lands. Volume 6 sets forth the dignity and importance of the colporteur ministry.
This eleven-year period between the publication of volumes 5 and 6 of the testimonies marked the issuance of several important e. G. White books. In 1890 patriarchs and prophets came from the press. Steps to Christ was published in 1892, and what is today known as "the old edition" of gospel workers was also printed that year. Christian education, the forerunner of education, was issued in 1894, and two years later thoughts from the mount of blessing and Christ our saviour were printed. Work on the manuscript for the desire of ages was completed and the book printed in 1898, and in 1900 Christ's object lessons was published.
In an effort to relieve our institutions of the heavy indebtedness which they were carrying, Mrs. White donated the manuscript for christ's object lessons and urged our church members and workers to join in its wide sale to their neighbors and friends. Hundreds of thousands of dollars were thus brought into the cause through this relief book campaign, and thousands of copies of this truth-filled book were distributed.
A type of work was in this way initiated which led large numbers of lay members to call from house to house in behalf of the work of the church. Thus the way was paved for the "ingathering" campaigns which were to develop a few years later into a source of revenue to the work of god, yielding millions of dollars.
Of course, all through this twelve-year period, scores and hundreds of communications bearing warnings, counsels, and encouragement were penned by the messenger of the lord and were sent into the field in letters and in articles in the journals of the denomination. While many of these dealt with subjects already presented less comprehensively in the earlier testimonies, some new phases of counsel were set forth and former counsels emphasized. These are found in such general sections as "cautions and counsels" and "calls to service." among the important articles comprising these sections are such as deal with "the observance of the Sabbath," "a revival in health reform," "our attitude toward the civil authorities," "preparation for the final crisis," and "the relief of our schools." the adding of this new volume to the growing series of testimonies for the church deeply impressed seventh-day adventists with the direct way in which god was continuing to guide and lead his people.
