Professor of Jazz and Popular Music Studies, Director of Birmingham Centre for Media and Cultural Research
Birmingham School of Media
nicholas.gebhardt@bcu.ac.uk
Nick Gebhardt is Professor of Jazz and Popular Music Studies and Director of Research in the Birmingham School of Media.
His work focuses on jazz and popular music in American culture and his publications include Going For Jazz: Musical Practices and American Ideology (Chicago), Vaudeville Melodies: Popular Musicians and Mass Entertainment in American Culture, 1870-1929 (Chicago) and the co-edited collection The Cultural Politics of Jazz Collectives: This Is Our Music (Routledge). In 2014, he founded the new Routledge book series Transnational Studies in Jazz with University colleague Tony Whyton, which provides a platform for rethinking the methodologies and concepts used to analyse jazz.
From 2010-2013, Nick was a senior researcher for the Humanities in the European Research Area (HERA)-funded Rhythm Changes: Jazz Cultures and European Identities project, a European consortium of 13 researchers working across seven universities in five countries. He is currently the part of for the transnational JPI Heritage Plus-funded research project Cultural Heritage and Improvised Music in European Festivals (CHIME) and is the Principal Investigator on the AHRC-funded research network Jazz and Everyday Aesthetics. He is on the editorial board of the Jazz Research Journal (Equinox) and edits the journal's Extended Play, which offers a space for experimental writing about jazz.

MA Media and Cultural Studies
Nick's research covers such diverse fields as jazz and popular music studies, cultural theory, media and cultural studies, American history, and American studies. All of these are complimented by his previous career as a radio broadcaster and producer, arts journalist and ongoing career as a musical practitioner.
His published work focuses on jazz cultures and histories, and involves a number of major research projects, including theories of jazz history, jazz and its audiences, and jazz and philosophy. Recent chapters on the folklorist Alan Lomax's Library of Congress recordings of Jelly Roll Morton and the Miles Davis Quintet's 1964 performance of 'My Funny Valentine' at the Teatro Dell'Arte in Milan explore the relationship between music and historical narratives in different media. Two longitudinal, qualitative research projects with regionally-based external partners, Jazzlines in Birmingham and the Cheltenham Jazz Festival, document changing concepts of musical value among jazz audiences, performers and promoters. This theme has been the focus of several major projects that explore transformations in the meaning and value of popular music, including his most recent monograph, Music is Our Business: Vaudeville and the Making of Popular Musicians in American Culture, 1870-1929 (University of Chicago Press, 2016).
Postgraduate Supervision
Nick is interested in supervising doctoral students researching all aspects of jazz and popular music studies, particularly students who are interested in cultural theory, the historiography of music. His current PhD students are working on topics such as Northern soul, popular music consumption and big data, the politics of jazz, creative practice in jazz composition, empathetic performance and group improvisation, sound art, musicality and musical production, anarcho-punk, jazz on television in Portugal during the dictatorship, and audio mastering in popular music.

I do, however, have an unfortunate confession to make. I recently bit off all of my nails. Strangely enough, I bit off one hand of nails, and did not bite the other until about four days later. I'm very sad to have ended such a long streak of no biting, but it is just a small setback in my road to nail biting recovery. I am still much better than I was before this blog!
Now on to some nails for you all. These are the last pictures of my nails when they were long, back before The Great Break, which was followed by my falling off the wagon. They will hopefully look like this again soon!
This is the gorgeous Zoya Caitlin, from the Intimate collection. Fabulous purple-gray creme. Great formula on this one as well - I am fairly sure this was two coats but this was like a month ago and I can't find the post-it I wrote it down on. Went on super smooth just like I have come to expect from Zoya cremes! This is a really nice color - lighter than its fall cousin Kelly.
I added a very basic little floral pattern here with Konad Special White and Bundle Monster plate BM10. I thought this basic white design looked really nice on the medium gray creme. Oh how I miss those long nails!
I am happy to finally be able to share with you all the second half of the Justin Bieber "One Less Lonely Girl" collection, from Nicole by OPI! While the first half was full of glittery shimmery polishes, this half has quite a few nice cremes in it - as well as some sparkle! Each polish is shown with no base coat, with top coat.
I love the color on this one - a really pretty mint green, perfect for spring. This is three coats - I actually had a tiny bit of problems with this one being a bit streaky. But overall it evened out well and I probably could have gotten away with one coat if I had been a bit more... skilled, haha. Overall really loving this one though, the color is just gorgeous.
Light blue is one of my favorite colors so this was a winner for me as well. Another great creme, three coats here - similar to My Lifesaver except I didn't have any application problems with this one. Went on nice and smooth! Kind of reminds me a bit of OPI's What's With The Cattitude, I may have to do a comparison later.
A very nice bright red creme polish. Probably has several dupes somewhere out there... but this had really nice formula on it. No streaky problems, nice and smooth and fast dry time! This is three coats.
So when I was swatching these I was a bit pressed for time, and rather than show you the glitter over every color I only have it over one (sorry about that). However, it is am amazing glitter! It reminds me a bit of a Deborah Lippmann glitter. Gorgeous silver large hex and small glitters... I think I am going to love this as a top coat! This is two coats shown. Very pretty.
Another pretty creme polish - this time bright green. I wouldn't quite call this lime green, though. More like... sour apple green? Very nice color, same great application as Redy to Runaway Love - three coats. This one does stain a bit if you do not wear abase coat, so I recommend it!
A nice gold foil. Reminds me of the Nicole by OPI Liquid Metals collection - perhaps I will have to compare this to the gold from that collection? This went on smooth - showing two coats.
This is a shimmery dark plum polish, which has a bit of a pink shimmer to it. This was two thin coats, but I think it could have probably used a third, as you can see some slightly thin spots to it. Really nice dark polish, I liked this one a lot.
Like many of you, when I very first heard of a collaboration between Nicole by OPI and the Biebs, I was a big pessimistic... however I find the entire collection (including the first part) to be a great overall collection. This half includes some really gorgeous cremes, which I love to wear and always feel like I'm getting back to a basic polish color, which is refreshing. My stand-out favorites here are the purple, mint, and light blue cremes, as well as the glitter topcoat. I am a "Belieber" in this collection!
And now on to the winners! Winners were decided using Random.org random number generator.
The first prize winner, with an entry number of 46, and winner of the first prize, is... MJ, from the blog Just Some Nails By MJ. Congratulations!!
The second winner, with an entry number of 473, and winner of the second prize, is... Natalie, from the blog Natalie's Nails. Congratulations!!
Thank you all so much for entering this giveaway, I have another smaller giveaway coming up within the week so look for it!
Things have still been a little crazy lately here, but I promise to get back on track with posting! Unfortunately, I also had a really nasty nail break yesterday... which lead to the total dissolution of my nail biting promise. After biting a couple of other nails off I quickly rushed to my campus bookstore, bought some nail clippers and clipped the rest off, to avoid biting them. So sad... now I have itty bitty nubbins. They will grow back eventually though!
Gorgeous medium blue full of holographic glitter - I love this one! This was three coats, although two probably would have been plenty. This was not really very bumpy, and removed very easily, for a glitter - I was very impressed. For the design, I added the butterflies using Color Club Worth the Risque and Konad plate m78. I added small pink rhinestones to the center of the large butterflies!

Great Piano Music + Fine Wine! Part of "Soirees by Moonlight" Series! LEARN MORE HERE!
Beth Levin and Reed Tetzloff combine their incalculable poetic energies and artistry to present a program almost too beautiful to endure. They will perform both solo and duo works.
"A pianist with a bold interpretive personality and a powerful technique. She brought fire and originality to her program." The New York Times.
"From the very beginning of Op. 109, which started very quietly, slowly, ruminatively, and was filled in by diabolically dark and threatening notes in the left hand, it was apparent that the evening's music would be filled with a rare fury. Ultimately, she brought the full terror factor to the music, realizing a vision of Beethoven as a dynamo of fantasy that ranged from celestial to violent—a wild man shattering with both fists the Biedermeier china and the sociable decorum. From pages of the scores that Beethoven filled with aggressively slashing clusters of notes, Levin played with a swirling, thunderous frenzy." The New Yorker.
"Richly communicative…a young American to watch." The Cincinnati Observer.
"Tetzloff lives through everything he plays – he cannot do otherwise." Klassiek Centraal.
Ms. Levin and Mr. Tetzloff are represented by Cherny Concert & Artist Management.

When it comes to brand promotion and lead generation on social media websites, brands usually focus on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. On the other hand, Pinterest is unfairly overlooked. With more than 150 million active monthly users and bearing in mind that 84% of them access their account on multiple devices, Pinterest is a powerful marketing tool that can generate leads and turn them into customers. In order to experience these benefits, you just have to know what to do. Here are some useful tips and tricks to use Pinterest for lead generation.
Pinterest isn't just for boards featuring hairstyles, outfits, food, or wedding inspiration. You can pin interesting posts about anything and everything. If your brand isn't associated with terms mentioned in the first sentence of this section, don't worry. Show Pinterest users how they can put your products or services to a good use and they'll love it. After all, Pinterest is all about being practical and offering useful tips and tricks to people.
Take a few moments to come up with a board that will feature helpful content, which is highly likely to generate leads. Once people know how to use your product/services or they realize how helpful and thoughtful your brand is, they're more likely to turn into leads and later, customers.
Coupons are the hottest trend on Pinterest or anywhere else for that matter. Regardless of the social media platform, people like when they have an opportunity to purchase something at a lower price. Coupons are easy to make and you can run them directly from the company's official website, but you can also use a third-party coupon application which can be even more practical. How? These third-party coupon applications also feature different marketing tools, email database, and real-time coupon campaign analysis. Pinterest users like to pin coupons and their followers can easily spot and re-pin them. That way, you're reaching more people, generating more leads. For the maximum effect, ensure that coupon pin link navigates directly to the special offer or product page on your website.
Don't forget that influencer marketing campaigns can turn into a huge success even through Pinterest. While Facebook and Instagram are widely used for this purpose, you shouldn't undermine the power and influence of the world's catalog of ideas. How to use Pinterest for influencer campaigns? You can open a board to one or more influencers and allow them to pin there. For example, you can create a guest board and invite an influencer to make his/her contribution by pinning posts in it. These boards introduce new content to your Pinterest profile, reaches more people, and you'll get more followers. All these factors are necessary for lead generation.
A practical way to connect with current followers and get new ones on Pinterest is to host a contest. It is needless to mention this, automatically, generates more leads. Similarly to coupons, you can organize contests on the official website if your goal is to generate more traffic at the same time. Bear in mind you can launch one of these contests directly from Pinterest too, just make sure they are easy to participate in, feature great visual appeal and mobile friendly. Promote your contest on other social media networks to get as many participants as possible.
If you want to connect with social media influencers on Pinterest you can do so by tagging them in your pins. This is particularly useful if you're still looking to establish a relationship or collaboration with an influencer. For example, you can share their content or something related to posts they usually pin. Don't tag influencers to pin that aren't related to their content because it may come across as spam. Make sure you pin content and different influencers. Plus, Pinterest users like to see pins that come from different places, not just promotional stuff. The chances are high influencers can reciprocate, thus sending more followers and leads your way.
Pinterest is a useful tool to promote your brand and generate more leads and this article showed you easy ways to make it happen. Remember, it's all about pinning useful and practical content and images that are easily noticeable.

He brought in a striker he had been eyeing for a long time. It's Scottish Celtic. The recruit is Oh Hyun-gyu (22), a South Korean striker.
On the 25th (Korean time), Celtic officially announced the recruitment of Oh Hyun-kyu through the club's official website. In the fifth year of his contract, Oh Hyun-kyu was given the number 19 shirt.
What draws attention is the transfer fee. It is known that Celtic spent 3 million euros (approximately 4.1 billion won) on the transfer fee for Oh Hyun-kyu. That's not a small amount. In fact, the ransom price of Oh Hyun-gyu, shown on the transfer mark specializing in the European market, is 550,000 euros (approximately 700 million won). He climbed a whopping six times. The reason why Celtic did not give up on the recruitment of Oh Hyun-kyu despite the vertical increase in transfer fees. Because I sincerely wanted it. It can be seen as Celtic's will to properly use Oh Hyun-kyu.
After signing Oh Hyun-kyu, Angel Posteglu, Celtic manager, said, "Oh Hyun-kyu is a young and talented striker. He has great talent. He is ready to take the next step in his career. He is always hungry and wants to grow and succeed." He said, "I have been watching Hyun-kyu Oh. I thought he would fit well in our team, and he is the striker I really wanted. I am happy to recruit Hyun-kyu Oh."
Celtic are currently lacking a striker option. The main gun of the team, Kyogo Furuhashi, is showing brilliant condition, but there is no striker to support it. Giorgios Yakomakis, who was the second option, is likely to leave the team through the January transfer window. It is connected with the Japanese J-League. Oh Hyun-kyu is expected to fill the vacancy.
Celtic's interest has been going on for quite some time. It is said that they sent a love call even before the 2022 World Cup in Qatar last year. Initially, Suwon rejected the transfer offer and hoped Oh Hyun-kyu would stay for one more season, but Celtic persistently sent a love call. In the meantime, Celtic weighed over Jeonbuk Hyundai striker Cho Kyu-sung and Oh Hyun-kyu, but when it became difficult to recruit Cho Kyu-sung, they focused on Oh Hyun-kyu. Celtic raised the ransom and kept making offers, and Oh Hyun-kyu's will to advance to Europe was added. In the end, Suwon also accepted the transfer. 메이저놀이터
Oh Hyun-kyu said, "I'm really happy to come to the club I've seen since childhood and wanted to go to. It's a dream moment."
Striker Oh Hyun-kyu from Suwon Youth drew attention by making his K-League debut at the age of 18 in 2019 when he was still a high school student. After his Sangmu enlistment, he returned to Suwon after resolving the military service issue. In his last season, he scored 13 goals in 36 league games, leading Suwon to stay in the top division. Based on this, he played as a reserve member for the World Cup in Qatar. He didn't make it to the full members, but he gained experience with the squad.

The Center for Sensorimotor Neural Engineering (CSNE), an ERC headquartered at the University of Washington, was selected by the National Science Foundation to take part in the U.S.A. Science & Engineering Festival in Washington, D.C. in April 2014. Nearly 340,000 attended the festival over the course of three days.
Eight graduate students from San Diego State University and the University of Washington represented the CSNE. The team provided two educational demos: WrestleBrainia 3000, a popular virtual arm-wrestling device that is activated using muscle sensors; and vHAB, a virtual reality game created to help stroke patients with physical therapy. vHAB was created within the last few months through the CSNE's Tech Sandbox Competition course. It has been featured in local and national media.
The CSNE team estimates that at least 2,000 people tried their hand at vHAB over the weekend. More than 3,000 took part in a WrestleBrainia match.
A wide range of people visited the booth and talked with CSNE student researchers. A woman who had had a stroke but has since recovered said she was "so excited" that the CSNE students had created the vHAB games for stroke patients. She said this type of rehabilitation would have helped her get back to work faster. It was the first time many people, including college students, had seen the Oculus Rift, a virtual reality headset used with vHAB. Thanks to vHAB, people visiting the booth could see the power of virtual reality and similar technologies outside of playing a video game.
Major media, including The Washington Post, Scientific American, Science and The Wall Street Journal, carried news of the event. Engineer.com (based in Ontario, Canada) interviewed Dev Sarma, a graduate student from the CSNE.
On an internal level, taking part in the festival was very helpful for the CSNE. Graduate students from two institutions had a chance to bond and learn more about each other's research over the course of several days. They discussed creating an alumni program or committee to increase retention of students at San Diego State (the students are enrolled in Master's level programs and typically move on within three years). This type of program could also be useful for all partners involved in the CSNE.
The U.S.A. Science & Engineering Festival is a national grassroots effort to advance STEM education and inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers. Exhibitors, performers, speakers, partners, sponsors, and advisors are among the top minds and organizations in science and engineering in the United States. This includes major academic centers and leading research institutes, government agencies, high tech companies, museums, and community organizations.


Anonymous, in Cibber-Shiels, Lives of the Poets of Great Britain and Ireland (1753) 1:113-20.
Sir THOMAS OVERBURY was son of Nicholas Overbury, Esq; of Burton in Gloucestershire, one of the Judges of the Marches. He was born with very bright parts, and gave early discoveries of a rising genius. In 1595, the 14th year of his age, he became a gentleman commoner in Queen's-College in Oxford: and in 1598, as a squire's son, he took the degree of batchelor of arts; he removed from thence to the Middle-Temple, in order to study the municipal law, but did not long remain there. His genius, which was of a sprightly kind, could not bear the confinement of a student, or the drudgery of reading law; he abandoned it therefore, and travelled into France, where he so improved himself in polite accomplishments, that when he returned he was looked upon as one of the most finished gentlemen about court.
Soon after his arrival in England, he contrasted an intimacy, which afterwards grew into friendship with Sir Robert Carre, a Scotch gentleman a favourite with King James, and afterwards earl of Somerset. Such was the warmth of friendship in which these two gentlemen lived, that they were inseparable. Carre could enter into no scheme, nor pursue any measures, without the advice and concurrence of Overbury, nor could Overbury enjoy any felicity but in the company of him he loved; their friendship was the subject of court conversation, and their genius seemed so much alike, that it was reasonable to suppose no breach could ever be produced between them; but such it seems is the power of woman, such the influence of beauty, that when the sacred ties of friendship are broke assunder by the magic energy of these superior charms. Carre fell in love with lady Frances Howard, daughter to the Earl of Suffolk, and lately divorced from the Earl of Essex. He communicated his passion to his friend, who was too penetrating not to know that no man could live with much comfort with a woman of the Countess's stamp, of whose morals he had a bad opinion; he insinuated to Carre some suspicions, and those well founded, against her honour, he dissuaded him with all the warmth of the sincerest friendship, to desist from a match that would involve him in misery, and not to suffer his passion for her beauty to have so much sway over him, as to make him sacrifice his peace to its indulgence.
Carre, who was desperately in love, for getting the ties of honour as well as friendships communicated to the lady, what Overbury had said of her, and they who have read the heart of woman, will be at no loss to conceive what reception she gave that unwelcome report. She knew, that Carre was immoderately attached to Overbury, that he was directed by his Council in all things, and devoted to his interest.
This was literally verified in the case of the countess; she let loose all the rage of which she was capable against him, and as she panted for the consummation of the match between Carre and her, she so influenced the Viscount, that he began to conceive a hatred likewise to Overbury; and while he was thus subdued by the charms of a wicked woman, he seemed to change his nature, and from the gentle, easy, accessible, good-natured man he formerly appeared, he degenerated into the sullen, vindictive, and implacable. One thing with respect to the countess ought not to be omitted. She was wife of the famous Earl of Essex, who afterwards headed the army of the parliament against the King, and to whom the imputation of impotence was laid. The Countess, in order to procure a divorce from her husband, gave it out that tho she had been for some time in a married state, she was yet a virgin, and which it seems sat very uneasy upon her. To prove this, a jury of matrons were to examine her and give their opinion, whether she was, or was not a Virgin. This scrutiny the Countess did not care to undergo, and therefore entreated the favour that she might enter masked to save her blushes; this was granted her, and she took care to have a young Lady provided, of much the same size and exterior appearance, who personated her, and the jury asserted her to be an unviolated Virgin. This precaution in the Countess, no doubt, diminishes her character, and is a circumstance not favourable to her honour; for if her husband had been really impotent as she pretended, she needed not have been afraid of the search; and it proves that she either injured her husband, by falsely aspersing him, or that the had violated her honour with other men. But which ever of these causes prevailed, had the Countess been wise enough, she had no occasion to fear the consequences of a scrutiny; for if I am rightly informed, a jury of old women can no more judge accurately whether a woman has yielded her virginity, than they can by examining a dead body, know of what distemper the deceased died; but be that as it may, the whole affair is unfavourable to her modesty; it shows her a woman of irregular passions, which poor Sir Thomas Overbury dearly experienced; for even after the Count was happy in the embraces of the Earl of Somerset, she could not forbear the persecution of him; she procured that Sir Thomas should be nominated by the King to go ambassador to Russia, a destination she knew would displease him, it being then no better than a kind of honourable grave, she likewise excited Earl Somerset to seen against his friend, and to advise him strongly to refuse the embassy, and at the same time insinuate, that if he should, it would only be lying a few weeks in the Tower, which to a man well provided in all the necessaries, as well as comforts of life, had no great terror in it. This expedient Sir Thomas embraced, and absolutely refused to go abroad; upon which, on the twenty-first of April 1613, he was sent prisoner to the Tower, and put under the care of Sir Gervis Yelvis, then lord lieutenant. The Countess being so far successful, began now to conceive great hopes of compleating her scheme of assassination, and drew over the Earl of Somerset her husband, to her party, and he who a few years before, had obtained the honour of knighthood for Overbury, was now so enraged against him, that he coincided in taking measures to murder his friend.
Sir Gervis Yelvis, who obtained the lieutenancy by Somerset's interest, was a creature devoted to his pleasure. He was a needy man: totally destitute of any principles of honour, and was easily prevailed upon to forward a scheme for destroying poor Overbury by poison. Accordingly they consulted with one Mrs. Turner, the first inventor (says Winstanley of that horrid garb of yellow ruffs and cuffs, and in which garb she was afterwards hanged) who having acquaintance with one James Franklin, a man who it seems was admirably fitted to be a Cut-throat, agreed with him to provide that which would not kill presently, but cause one to languish away by degrees. The lieutenant being engaged in the conspiracy, admits one Weston, Mrs. Turner's man, who under pretence of waiting on Sir Thomas, was to do the horrid deed. The plot being thus formed, and success promising so fair, Franklin buys various poisons, White Arsenick, Mercury-Sublimate, Cantharides, Red-Mercury, with three or four other deadly ingredients, which he delivered to Weston, with instructions how to use them; who put them in to his broth and meat, increasing and diminishing their strength according as he saw him affected: besides these, the Countess sent him by way of present, poisoned tarts and jellies but Overbury being of a strong constitution, held long out against their influence his body broke out in blotches and blains, which occasioned the report industriously propagated by Somerset, of his having died of the French Disease. At last they produced his death by the application of a poisoned clyster, by which he next day in painful agonies expired. Thus (says Winstanley) "by the malice of a woman that worthy Knight was murthered, who yet still lives in that witty poem of his, entitled, A Wife, as is well expressed by the verses under his picture."
Of all crimes which the heart of man conceives, as none is so enormous as murder, so it more frequently meets punishment in this life than any other. This barbarous assassination was soon revealed; for notwithstanding what the conspirators had given out, suspicion, ran high that Sir Thomas was poisoned; upon which Weston was strictly examined by Lord Cook, who before his lordship persisted in denying the same; but the Bishop of London afterwards conversing with him, pressing the thing home to his conscience, and opening all the terrors of another life to his mind, he was moved to confess the whole. He related how Mrs. Turner and the Countess became acquainted, and discovered all those who were any way concerned in it; upon which they were all apprehended, and some sent to Newgate, and others to the Tower. Having thus confessed, and being convicted according to due course of law, he was hanged at Tyburn, after him Mrs. Turner, after her Franklin, then Sir Gervis Yelvis, being found guilty on their several arraignments, were executed; some of them died penitent. The Earl and the Countess were both condemned, but notwithstanding their guilt being greater than any of the other criminals, the King, to the astonishment of all his subjects, forgave them, but they were both forbid to appear at court.
There was something strangely unaccountable in the behaviour of Somerset after condemnation. When he was asked what he thought of his condition, and if he was preparing to die, he answered, that he thought not of it at all, for he was sure the King durst not command him to be executed. This ridiculous boasting and bidding defiance to his majesty's power, was construed by some in a very odd manner; and there were not wanting those who asserted, that Somerset was privy to a secret of the King's, which if it had been revealed, would have produced the strangest consternation in the kingdom that ever was known, and drawn down infamy upon his majesty for ever, but as nothing can be ascertained concerning it, it might seem unfair to impute to this silly Prince more faults than he perhaps committed: It is certain he was the slave of his favourites, and not the most shocking crime in them, it seems, could entirely alienate his affections, and it is doubtful whether the saving of Somerset or the execution of Raleigh reflects most disgrace upon his reign. Some have said, that the body of Sir Thomas Overbury was thrown into an obscure pit; but Wood says it appears from the Tower registers, that it was interred in the chapel; which seems more probable. There is an epitaph which Winstanley has preserved, written by our author upon him-self, which I shall here insert, as it serves to illustrate his versification.
That when the world dissolves, she come again.
The works of Overbury besides his Wife, which is reckoned the wittiest and most finished of all, are, fist Characters, or witty descriptions of the prophesies of sundry persons. This piece has relation to some characters of his own time, which can afford little satisfaction to a modern reader.
Second, The Remedy of Love in two parts, a poem 1620, Octavo, 2 s.
Third, Observations in his Travels, on the State of the seventeen Provinces, as they stood anno 1609.
Fourth, Observations on the Provinces united, and the state of France, printed London 1651.
Sir Thomas was about 32 years old when he was murthered, and is said to have possessed an accuteness, and strength of parts that was astonishing and some have related that he was proud of his abilities, and overbearing in company; but as there is no good authority for the assertion, it is more agreeable to candour to believe him the amiable knight Winstanley draws him; as it seldom happens that a soul formed for the noble quality of friendship is haughty and insolent. There is a tragedy of Sir Thomas Overbury wrote by the base Richard Savage, son of earl Rivers, which was acted in 1723, (by what was then usually called The Summer Company) with success; of which we shall speak more at large in the life of that unfortunate gentleman.

14 февраля 2020 года открылась выставка «Нас поймут через 100 лет. Лазарь Хидекель». Национальный художественный музей Республики Беларусь • 14/02/2020 – 15/04/20200
Персональная выставка работ Лазаря Хидекеля открылась в день 100-летия УНОВИСа в Национальном художественном музее Республики Беларусь.
На выставку из Нью-Йорка (США) были доставлены около 100 оригинальных работ Лазаря Хидекеля и документы УНОВИСа из личного архива и коллекции семьи Хидекелей. Были представлены ранние супрематические композиции и проекты городов будущего: летающих, города-сада и космических станций, а также журнал «АЭРО» – первый архитектурный экологический манифест.
Важным акцентом проекта #UNOVIS100, название которого включает хештег, стала работа Лазаря Хидекеля «Пересекающиеся линии» 1920 года, напоминающая распространённый сегодня символ виртуальной реальности.
Над реализацией проекта работали архитекторы и программисты из Беларуси. Ярким дополнением выставки стали анимации Романа Хидекеля, созданные на тему работ Лазаря Хидекеля.
Специально к выставке издан каталог на белорусском, русском и английском языках (под редакцией Регины Хидекель).
Кураторы выставки: Майя Кацнельсон – основатель Центра белорусско-еврейского культурного наследия; Екатерина Изофатова – искусствовед, заведующий отделом белорусского искусства XX – XXI веков Национального художественного музея Республики Беларусь
A personal exhibition of Lazar Khidekel's work. National Art Museum of the Republic of Belarus 14/02/2020 – 15/04/2020
Lazar Khidekel was one of the founders of the UNOVIS art association in Vitebsk that became the center of the world avant-garde. A student of Marc Chagall, El Lissitzky and Kazimir Malevich, a prominent suprematist artist whose early works anticipated the minimal-art, he entered history as the world's first suprematic architect, innovator, author of the first architectural ecological manifesto of the XX century and the projects of the futuristic and eco-cities that were way ahead of their time.
A personal exhibition of Lazar Khidekel's work, the first in the history of Belarus, opened at the National Art Museum of the Republic of Belarus on the day of the 100th anniversary of UNOVIS, February 14, 2020.
Among the guests at the opening ceremony were also the participants of the international scientific and practical conference dedicated to 100 years of UNOVIS that opened in Vitebsk on February 12 and closed in Minsk on February 14. The opening was attended by the heirs of the legendary art group creators: Lazar Khidekel's family — his son, a known architect and designer Mark Khidekel, with his wife Regina Khidekel, and his son Roman Khidekel, urban architect, as also grand-niece of Kazimir Malevich, Ivona Malevich, and great granddaughter of El Lissitzky, Valeria Lissitzky.
About 100 original works and UNOVIS documents from the personal archive and collection of the Khidekel family were delivered to Minsk from New York specially for the exhibition. The exposition contained early suprematist compositions, projects of the futuristic cities: Aero-cities, Garden-cities, space stations, as well as the legendary first architectural environmental manifesto AERO.
The exhibition was complemented by animations created by Roman Khidekel — fantasies on the space theme based on his famous grandfather's work.
At the core of the concept lied the prophetic phrase of Lazar Khidekel «They will understand us in 100 years».
The work «Intersecting Lines» created in 1920, the suprematist lattice reminding the world-famous hashtag, became the main visual of the project #UNOVIS100. This element represents the ideal ratio of density and space, black and white, it is one of the idioms that Khidekel introduced into the language of Suprematism. The hashtag is also a reference to the IT sector that Belarus is currently famous for today. To emphasize this idea, young Belarusian architects and programmers were engaged in preparation of the exhibition to create projects in augmented and virtual reality that have brought Khidekel's futuristic city to life.
«100 years of UNOVIS, an art group founded in Vitebsk by the students and tutors of the local art school, is one of the most outstanding events in the country's cultural life in 2020. In Belarus, this date will be celebrated by multiple dedicated events, but the largest will be #UNOVIS100. Due to this initiative we are starting the anniversary year with the exhibition of Lazar Khidekel that will be the first ever in the history of our country, and we will witness a truly unique happening — greeting the families of the legendary founders of UNOVIS in their historical homeland». Yuri Bondar, Minister of Culture of the Republic of Belarus


Scavenge 2 :: Share someone you admire with your circles.
I used to teach a course called Community Grace.
I remember taking a walk with my dog and having this vision of a long wooden table, like 16 feet long, set with mix matched glasses and vintage plates and little blue bottles holding flowers. In the middle of nowhere forest.
Women were gathering around the table. Some off to the sides in conversation, some had spread out blankets on the grass. A huge pot held a stone soup and kombucha was poured into each beautiful glass.
And it was exactly how I wanted to feel inside my business. Those words of Grace held out for the higher power of love, God, Universe.
Community for me in the online world was building spaces and places and soft landings for people where they were.
There is a grace in sharing freely and without feelings of not having enough. This is hard.
Often we have jealousy around others. My best teaching offering for this is that the jealousy is simply pointing out for us what we are craving, desiring, wanting.
Once we realize it, we can find that feeling of what is inside the wanting and free the jealousy into a form of community grace.
Wanting for you is wanting for me.
Day 2. Share someone you admire with your circles.
So happy you are playing along.


We work with hundreds of real estate agents all across the country. We review all of their marketing and positioning strategies (even those who don't realize they have one). Within 5 minutes, we can tell who truly understands the difference between marketing and simple salesmanship. Those who don't understand marketing always make the #1 Mistake that is guaranteed to make hot leads tune them out within seconds.
Agents who start talking about themselves and proceed to rattle off a list of the same old, blah, blah, blah that every single real estate agent says day in and day out. Ho, hum.
The "me too" statistics that you communicate are important but those are just table stakes. They don't give the seller the "why you over anyone else". To get to the critical benefits that set you apart from the average agent, start by making a list of every goal and pain point of the seller. Step into their shoes for 15-20 minutes and consider what's important to them. Once you have that list, make another list that shows how you remove each and every pain point and specifically how you deliver their goals.
Now that's when people start listening!
The best agents are those who are good at developing a marketing presentation that incorporates a message that includes the results of this type of "seller-fo cused" exercise. When you are able to identify a list of the ways you address what's really on the seller's mind, what are the true benefits you alone can deliver to achieve their goals – then you have your Unique Value Proposition. You are truly marketing and communicating something meaningful to your leads.
We guarantee they will listen.
We make thousands of prospecting calls and set thousands of appointments. So we know it's a fact: the agents with a differentiator, a Unique Value Proposition are the ones who get the listing appointment nearly every time. Even when the seller has received dozens of previous calls from agents they tuned out.


The British government has pumped £40 million into UK peer-to-business lender Funding Circle.
In March of 2013, frustrated by the unwillingness of banks to lend to SMEs, the government injected £55m into four major p2p players: Zopa, Funding Circle, Boost and Credit Asset Management. Funding Circle have since distributed their £20m share, making loans to over 2000 businesses and creating over 6500 jobs. Now the p2b lender is getting £40m – this time through the government's new British Business Bank. The arrangement specifies that this taxpayer money will be used to fund 10% of each successful borrower request made via the platform, with the remaining 90% coming from private investors.
Mr. Cable will be delivering a much-anticipated keynote speech at the fast-approaching AltFi Summit 2014, on March 11th at Vinopolis. It will be fascinating to hear his thoughts on this rapidly maturing sector. With institutional money steadily beginning to pour into the space, the news of increased government involvement serves as a further endorsement of AltFinance forms.


This book does two important things – it challenges the reader to really think about the causes of things, and it makes modern economic thinking interesting and accessible to the mass audience. It's also a good, fun read, and for all these reasons it should be applauded.
In this book Steven Levitt develops ideas about a number of aspects of economic and social development which challenge received wisdom. He then both challenges traditional analyses, and offers solid support for his theories using detailed analysis of a number of unusual but highly reliable data sources.
For example, he attributes the dramatic fall of crime rates in the USA in the 1990s to greater access to abortion 20 years earlier, rather than traditional explanations like better policing. Drawing on a number of unimpeachable data sources he provides strong support for his hypothesis over more common ones.
Another fascinating chapter analyses the economics of drug dealing, and concludes that most crack dealers would be better off with regular minimum-wage jobs.
However, these are the high points, and towards the end the book starts to feel like the authors didn't have enough material for a 200 page book. There's a fair amount of repetition, and the later chapters start to feel a bit light. The last chapter, on trends in children's names, is really rather boring and tells us very little of interest.
This is a shame, because the core of the book is excellent. It will hold your interest, but don't expect a lot of pages for your money. Maybe the authors are genuinely very clever.

Sphinx and Pyramid of Khafre
The Great Sphinx of Giza is a limestone statue of a reclining sphinx, a mythical creature with the head of a human, and the body of a lion. Facing directly from west to east, it stands on the Giza Plateau on the west bank of the Nile in Giza, Egypt. The face of the Sphinx appears to represent the pharaoh Khafre.The original shape of the Sphinx was cut from the bedrock, and has since been restored with layers of limestone blocks. It measures 73 m (240 ft) long from paw to tail, 20 m (66 ft) high from the base to the top of the head and 19 m (62 ft) wide at its rear haunches. Its nose was broken off for two possible reasons. The first reason is that the nose was shot by Napoleon Bonaparte during a French invasion of Egypt using a cannonball in the 18th century. There has been further evidence disapproving of this because there were paintings of the Sphinx with its broken nose in the 17th century, before Napoleon was even born. The second reason is that in 1378 CE, a religious rebel by the name of Mohamed Sa'm al-Dahr was responsible for destroying the nose who was later executed for vandalism. Of course, the nose could have been simply damaged by weather and corrosion. The Sphinx is the oldest known monumental sculpture in Egypt and one of the most recognizable statues in the world. The archaeological evidence suggests that it was created by ancient Egyptians of the Old Kingdom during the reign of Khafre (c. 2558–2532 BC).

An exhibition titled "萩尾望都 SF 原画展 宇宙にあそび、異世界にはばたく (lit. Moto Hagio Science Fiction Works - Exploring the Universe, Travelling to Other Worlds)" is due to open at the Kitakyushu Manga Museum!
A special talk from renowned manga artist Moto Hagio!
Moto Hagio was a member of the golden age of shojo (girls) manga authors that emerged during the 1970s. This group of artists helped establish a form of manga primarily aimed at young female readers. It was during this decade that Hagio created two of her most enduring works, "Poe no Ichizoku" (lit. The Poe Family) and "Thomas no Shinzo" (lit. The Heart of Thomas). Amidst the creation of a new style of manga, Hagio released "Juichinin Iru!" (lit. They were Eleven!) in 1975. A genuine piece of science fiction, this was work not like any other shojo manga that had previously been released. The title went on to create shock waves through the manga industry.
Born 1949 in Omuta City, Fukuoka Prefecture. Debuted in 1969 with the work "ルルとミミ (lit. Ruru and Mimi)." In the world of science fiction, she has been awarded the "Comic division" (Best Comic Prize) at the "Seiun-sho" (Seiun Award) an unprecedented three times for the titles "Star Red" (1980), "銀の三角" (lit. Silver Triangle) (1983), "X + Y" (1985). Also picked up the "Nihon SF Taisho" (Japan Science Fiction Grand Prize) for the 2006 release "バルバラ異界" (lit. Otherworld Barbara). In 2012 became the first shojo (girls) manga artist to be awarded a "Hosho" (Medal of Honor) with a Purple Ribbon distinction.


where you will get the opportunity to listen to the issues about the Ribble barrage & the building developments proposed for the Green Belt/floodplain in Penwortham, and ask questions.
Preston Riversway Councillors are arranging the meeting in conjunction with Save The Ribble.
- but this is YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO COME AND LISTEN TO THE ISSUES AND ASK QUESTIONS.
This meeting is still going ahead despite recent news that the barrage and building developments are currently taking a back seat whilst more immediate consideration is being given to the feasibility of proposals to improve the Docks and look at reinstating the Lancaster Canl into Preston so book the evening of 20th November in your diary!
Riversway Councillor Jack Davenport made his point about the blindness of the leadership of Preston City Council to issues of flood risk around drainage and flood defences near the Ribble very vividly at the last City Council meeting, he produced two sandbags which he proceeded to place at in front of Council leader Ken Hudson and his ally Danny Gallagher, leader of the Liberal Democrats in Preston.
According to the Lancashire Evening Post Jack Davenport's "attention grabbing stunt" was a protest over the "plans to build homes on flood plains near the River Ribble... sand was spilled all over council papers and prompted a furore in the chamber over how the bags got past Town Hall security"
The protest came a month after the Council flatly refused to debate a motion about the risk of flooding to Preston residents - the council leaders preferring to put the interests of the developers interested in the Riverworks Project ahead of the interests of Preston People.
"The Conservative group is happy to talk to anyone else prepared to look at funding a study for the Riverworks project"
- they are happy to talk to anyone willing to progress the Riverworks barrage but NOT talk to anyone concerned about the environmental impacts or flooding risks!
Bizarrely, Ken Hudson then went on to accuse those councillors concerned about these issues and who DO wish to discuss them of sticking their "heads in the silt of the river... waiting to be drowned" when it is clearly the pro-barrage lobby who are refusing to listen to the evidence and discuss the issues!
Jack Davenport is calling for urgent action in the wake of severe flooding across the country, that shows how vulnerable many areas are to flash flooding, particularly where drainage and flood defences are inadequate. (As they certainly are near Broadgate and Middleforth).
I'm writing to salute your recent protest on behalf of Broadgate residents about the Riverworks plans.
I feel you are doing an excellent job bringing the flood risk posed by the Riverworks Barrage and Housing ideas to public attention, you are doing exactly what a democratic representative of the public should be doing.
You may be criticised for it by a few political hacks, but I definitely think the idea of using sandbags in this way showed imagination, panache and not a little courage, that will be appreciated by ordinary Prestonians.
Thankyou for representing me so well as one of your constituents, and keep up the good work!
Thatcher used to give her ministers a handbagging - Now Jack Davenport gives Preston Council Leaders a sandbagging!
"the issue I was trying to raise was the issue of flooding from drainage. The issue of Riverworks, though related, was not the exact topic of discussion (that is to come), but the general issue however is that the current administration appears blind to the whole thing and won't discuss it. I've heard of putting ones head in the sand, but never putting it in a sandbag!"
Let us know your own response to Councillor Davenport's sandbag protest by replying to this article below!
Ribble Barrage and Floodplain Building Developments Take 'Backward Step' - Has The Ribble Been Saved?
BREAKING NEWS... RIBBLE BARRAGE GOES BACK TO DRAWING BOARD!!
The Lancashire Evening Post are reporting today that Preston City Council Chief Executive Jim Carr has stated that the Ribble barrage and the 'plans to redevelop an area of the river in the city and neighbouring South Ribble' have 'gone back to the drawing board'.
"The riverside element has taken a step back from where we were (before the local elections earlier this year) because of the political changes here and in South Ribble".
"What we are now relying on is discussing this between the leaders to see what is acceptable to them. Much of the development is in South Ribble and now it is an issue of whether it wants to progress this".
Luckily for the River Ribble, our environment, and our communities, it seems that not only the Labour Councillors in Preston are opposing the barrage and building development schemes - such as Jack Davenport, Bhikhu Patel, and John Swindells (see below for an excellent letter by Cllr Swindells) - but South Ribble Council are also listening to the evidence we have researched and made publicly available, and to the serious concerns raised by South Ribble residents, and seem to have forced a halt to the project.
The new political make-up in South Ribble occurred largely as a result of South Ribblers' concerns about Preston's plans for the Penwortham side of the river - and the successful South Ribble Conservatives campaigned about local concerns regarding Preston's plans for South Ribble - particularly the Riverworks plans for building a huge new urban conurbation on the Penwortham Green Belt and floodplain.
We are extremely pleased that our tireless research, and our innovative blogging and campaigning techniques to let the public know about the real impacts of what a barrage and building developments would mean for our River, environment, Green Belt, floodplains, riverbanks, allotments, sports pitches, and communities, have encouraged Councillors and Council Officials to start to listen, and begin to think about making informed decisions and take the only logical step of opposing the barrage and building development schemes.
Our hope now is that common sense prevails and the barrage and riverside building developments will be consigned from the drawing board to it's rightful place in the dustbin.
Mr Carr's statement will not be anywhere near clear enough for most Preston residents, especially those living in areas that would face an increased flood risk if the barrage and floodplain housing were built, and those who care deeply about the Ribble environment - the council must state absolutely whether the barrage and the associated housing plans are off the council agenda for good, or whether they will later be drawn back out of their coffin like a vampire in the absence of the clear sunlight of public attention, which has been focussed by the Save The Ribble campaign onto this dangerously stupid, irresponsible and highly unpopular project.
We also have major concerns that the Vision Board has still not abandoned it's plans to turn the Southern bank of the Ribble into a suburban extension of 'Greater Preston', there is no doubt that greedy developers have their eyes on this land, and that they still have strong influence over the future of our area.
According to the LEP, Mr Carr also said that what the Governments decides regarding 'targets for new homes' in the area 'would also guide the future of the riverside plans, which centre around new housing overlooking a marina created by the barrage'.
But surely targets for new homes don't specify that these need to be built on the banks of the river or on the Green Belt and floodplains?!!
Any new housebuilding in either Preston or South Ribble needs to avoid building in areas at high risk of flooding - as the Environment Agency advise. Otherwise the new houses and our existing homes will be at even greater risk of flooding, and our beautiful riverside areas, our football pitches and allotments, would be lost beneath tonnes of concrete, ruining their precious contribution to our environment as well as increasing the flood risk to our homes!!
South Ribble and Preston Councils must give a clear guarantee to the people that the greenbelt and floodplain land by the Ribble is sacrosanct, and will be kept as a beautiful green and natural area for the public to enjoy forever.
"Until May I was Preston City Council's cabinet member for environment and sustainability. During my term I discussed the Ribble barrage with many groups and organisations including the RSPB, Environment Agency, the Anglers Conservation Association etc. All these organisations were united in their total opposition to the barrage. In fact I never spoke to any organisation who voiced their support for the barrage."
"There followed the LEP survey where an overwhelming number of Prestonians were against the scheme.
I also attended conferences in Cardiff where I discussed the Cardiff Bay scheme. I discovered that the scheme had an original estimate of £40m but eventually cost £200m and now needs £20m per year spent on it to mitigate the environmental impact it has had.
Far from the saviour of Cardiff it has proved to be a millstone around the city's neck".
"This year much of the flooding in England has been caused by land drains not being able to take the rainfall. The Ribble's land drains empty at low water, these drains will be permanently under water if the barrage is built. To remedy this the cost of new drains can only make the scheme uneconomic.
"With this floodtide of opposition and evidence I am staggered that the Vision Board continues to favour a feasibility study.
"Much of the Riverworks scheme has a lot going for it but the barrage would destroy a unique environment and would put Preston at severe risk of flooding".
Whilst Preston Council have been forced to slow down on the barrage by having to listen to South Ribble's opinions on the issues, to whom are Preston Vision Board accountable...?
This Thursday, 18th October, PCC's Chief Executive Jim Carr will present a Position Statement about the Riverworks Project to both the City Centre Committee in the morning, and to the full Council meeting in the afternoon.
- We welcome any attempts to improve the dock basin as a public facility, and particularly to solve the blue green algae problem, and ensure that the dock gates are kept in a better state of repair to ensure the algae remains safely out of the river in the meantime!
- The easy answer to this is YOU CAN'T!!
The Water Framework Directive is the most substantial piece of European-wide water legislation to date. It aims to ensure all inland and coastal waters achieve 'good' status by 2015 in relation to its ecological status and the sustainability of our water resources for people. The River Ribble is the Environment Agency's Pilot River Basin for the implementation of the Water Framework Directive in the UK.
• As the Anglers' Conservation Association have pointed out: 'the experience from other barrages elsewhere in the country and the rest of the world should have demonstrated by now to anyone doing even a cursory review of the literature, that they are nearly always more costly to construct and maintain than originally envisaged and that they have severe impacts on the ecology of rivers on which so much of the local economy depends.
See our earlier blog about the Ribble Fisheries Consultative Association's opposition to the Barrage proposal.
2. a barrage would still be subject to river conditions and the weirs would need to be left fully open for long periods to ensure local communities do not flood.
There is also the problem that concreting the river banks will destroy their ecological importance and be contrary to the UK and Lancashire Biodiversity Action Plans and destroy one of the most aesthetic aspects of the River Ribble, its largely unspoilt riverbanks – as well as increase the speed of the river and rendering it more dangerous!
Surely it makes much more sense to build a purpose-built lake for row-boating as this will not have to close for long periods of time due to high rainfall, will not interfere with the natural ecology of the river, and will not increase flood risk in the area – and will actually help increase our flood protection!
The bodies responsible for maintaining the ecological integrity of the River Ribble AND maintaining our flood protection produce the Ribble Shoreline Management Plan and the Ribble Integrated Catchment Management Plan, both of which point out that increasing our wetland provision of mudflats and saltmarsh and floodplain storage capacity is the most effective means of flood protection along the Ribble corridor.
'It [the barrage] would also allow a mirror park on the opposite bank to Avenham & Miller Park to be laid out, creating a magnificent central park for the area with bridges linking the two elements'.
- At risk of pointing out the obvious, we don't need to barrage the river to create a park on the Green Belt!!!
Whether the green belt on the Penwortham bank would benefit from having some of it turned into a formal park is a separate issue. There could certainly be a number of improvements to the area, such as more footpaths and benches and other public areas, and some special wildlife walks, sculpture trails and so on would undoubtedly be a great addition to the existing green facilities. But its real and intrinsic value to local communities and the environment is that it is already a quality green open space with a diverse range of habitats, wildlife, and facilities - including allotments and sports pitches, freely accessible to all members of the community. It also acts as the operational flood plain for a number of communities in South Ribble and Preston, so enhances our quality of life in a number of crucial ways.
'When the intention to commission this study was announced a number of concerns were brought to our attention. Assurances were given that any feasibility work would fully take into account the concerns raised. In particular, statutory agencies concerned about existing flood risks and how they might be alleviated were interested in how the study could contribute to the body of knowledge that exists and potentially provide solutions'.
-But surely we really do have more than enough information about the impact of barrages, the crucial importance of the River Ribble as a natural, free-flowing ecosystem to the environment and to our flood protection strategies to spend the many £hundreds of thousands on projects which will be of benefit to those areas of Preston which really do need economic investment? Preston has some of the worst areas in the country in terms of deprivation and child poverty. Why aren't Preston City Council looking to spend these huge sums of money there?
'The technical feasibility study for the Quayside [dock basin] is about to be commissioned.
As the North West Development Agency (NWDA) have already pointed out, the North West's Natural assets – green tourism opportunities – already boost the regional economy by £770m EVERY YEAR.
And they claim the Ribble - recently designated a Regional Park, Ribble Coast & Wetlands - will act as the Regional catalyst for new economic opportunities based on the growing eco-tourism industry.
'The strategic flood risk assessment referred to in Councillor Davenport's notice of motion [rejected by the Council when Councillor Davenport asked them to halt progress on Riverworks to allow the flood risk assessment to be implemented first] is not yet available so I am not able to comment on its implications in this report. In due course, no doubt the outcome will inform the discussions on the LDF and, therefore, ultimately the reasonableness or not of proceeding to a study'.
There is no mention in the Riverworks Position statement regarding any moves on the Canalside elements, so we presume these are still in the very early stages. We would urge Preston City Council to drop the Ribble barrage and their attempts to build on the Ribble's banks and green spaces and concentrate on improving the docks and reinstating the canal - both schemes will be of benefit to our abilities to access these spaces WITHOUT ruining THE MOST IMPORTANT ASSET OF THE RIBBLE CORRIDOR - THE RIVER RIBBLE!!!!
Why Our Wetlands are Important to our Economy, Our Environment, and to protect us from flooding.
Riversway's Labour Councillors, Jack Davenport, Linda Crompton and Bhikhu Patel have been distributing a hard-hitting leaflet around the ward recently, denouncing the failure of the City Council to debate the flood risk posed by Broadgate's old and dilapidated flood defences and by the inadequate and poorly maintained storm drainage in the area.
Jack Bavenport is quoted as saying " This really shows the contempt that the Tories and Lib Dems have for the people of this City. Serious concerns were raised about the drainage system in Hull, and we have had flooding in Riversway this year for similar reasons. It seems that the interests of the people of this City take second place to the interests of private business and faceless bodies like the Preston Vision Board"
The leaflet uses a picture of recent flooding in Middleforth, taken from original material published on the 'Save The Ribble' Blog - Hey Labour Party - we don't mind people using quotes and photographs from this blog, providing they are being used to further the interests of our river and the people who live nearby - but next time please be polite enough to credit the source of your photo - The Save The Ribble Campaign!

Adoption and non-spousal relationships: Marta's groundbreaking case
Earlier this week, a ground-breaking decision was released that involved our very own Marta Siemiarczuk. Marta assisted two women in a non-romantic relationship to apply to adopt a foster child in their care. She successfully argued that this law is discriminatory and infringed their rights guaranteed under section 15 of the Charter.
Modern Parenting – Marta Siemiarczuk mentioned in the Law Times
A case brought on by Marta Siemiarczuk regarding the challenges of the constantly evolving nature of modern families and how the law defines families was mentioned in a recent Law Times article.
Celebrating the 20th Anniversary of Vriend v Alberta
April 2, 2018 marks the 20th anniversary of Vriend v Alberta, the landmark equality rights case that is among the most important civil rights moments in Canadian history. Delwin Vriend fought an uphill battle on his journey to the Supreme Court of Canada to challenge discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.
Aboriginal Heritage and Cultural Identity: Should These be "Super-Weighted"?
Only months after Ontario voted to adopt sweeping changes to the child protection and public adoption regime to take into account unique Indigenous relationships, a decision by the British Columbia Court of Appeal makes one wonder just how meaningful this reform will be in Ontario.
Co-Mommas: A Historic Declaration of Parentage
What happens when two people who are not in a romantic relationship want to raise a child together? Does the law recognize these kinds of parents? In a Canadian first, our very own Marta Siemiarczuk assisted Natasha Bakht and Lynda Collins in asking the court to declare them as co-mothers of Natasha's son, Elaan.
Three Parent Babies – What is the Law?
Our very own Erin Lepine was featured this week on CBC Radio's Ontario Today, talking about the baby boy born earlier this year who was the product of a 'three parent' fertility technique. Embryologists used a process called spindle nuclear transfer, which uses genetic material from three different people, in an attempt to produce an embryo without the genes for Leigh syndrome.


Gloria Callen Jones died peacefully at home at sunrise on September 2, 2016, attended by her four children.
Mrs. Jones and her husband, Herbert E.Jones, Jr., who died in 2010, resided in Charleston since 1951. Gloria Callen Jones was born in Freeport, Long Island, NY, on December 21, 1923, the daughter of Casper Robinson Callen and Florence Mooney Callen. She began swimming at age 7, quickly finding it an outlet for her energy and competitive spirit.
"Glorious Gloria" Callen was voted the USA's Outstanding Woman Athlete of 1942. Beginning in 1938 as a long-distance freestyle swimmer, she went on to become a backstroke champion, setting 35 American swimming records. She won 13 National titles and set one World Record. A member of the Metropolitan Swimming Association of New York, Miss Callen won a place on the US Olympic Swimming Team at trials in Portland, Oregon in August 1940, at the age of 17. The outbreak of World War II, and fear of Nazi submarines stalking the Atlantic led to the cancellation of the Olympics scheduled for Helsinki, Finland.
In June 1942, she became the first woman to be elected president of the senior class at Nyack, (NY) High School. At age nineteen, she won the New York Fashion Academy Award as one of America's thirteen best dressed women.
With the cancellation of the Olympics, Miss Callen joined the war effort as a member of the American Women's Voluntary Services in New York City, and entered Barnard College at Columbia University in the fall of 1943.
At a Coffee Dance at Barnard, Miss Callen met Herbert E. Jones, Jr. of Oak Hill, WV, and a recent Princeton graduate, then training for the submarine service on the U.S.S. Prairie State docked on the Hudson River. They were married in St. Paul's Chapel at Columbia University on October 14, 1944. After living briefly in San Francisco, Mrs. Jones continued her studies at Connecticut College, and in the summer of 1944 was still making public appearances in support of the Red Cross. When Mr. Jones was discharged from the Navy, the couple moved to Amherstdale, Logan County, WV, where Mr. Jones worked for Amherst Coal Company.
After six years, and with three children, Herbert and Gloria Jones moved to Charleston, W.Va. in 1951. Mrs. Jones became an active community volunteer with the Junior League, and taught swimming at the YWCA. She was particularly enthusiastic about the cultural life of Charleston, working to support the Town Hall series of public lectures. She loved the West Virginia Symphony, the Juliet Art Museum in the Clay Center, and The University of Charleston Women Builders. She and Herbert were long-time members of St. Johns Episcopal Church.
Beginning in 1967, Mrs. Jones joined the Kanawha Garden Club, serving in several leadership capacities and as President during 1978 and 1979. During those years the KGC worked on the preservation and maintenance of historic Ruffner Park along Charleston's scenic Kanawha River.
In 1981, Mrs. Jones became Chairman of Zone VII of the Garden Club of America, an area encompassing garden clubs in Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, and North Carolina. In 1985 she became co-chairman of the Archives of American Gardens, an effort to preserve visual documentation of historic American gardens and landscape design from the Colonial Period to the present. The collection, considered a "national treasure," was given to the Smithsonian Institution in 1992 for the benefit of researchers and scholars.
From 1986 to 1993, Mrs. Jones held numerous positions at the Garden Club of America as a member of the Executive Committee, as one of six Vice-Presidents, as Chair of the Policy Committee, and as an Advisor to the Archive of American Gardens, Garden History and Design Committee. She won the Creative Leadership Award for her zone from the Garden Club of America in 1995.
Mrs. Jones was a Trustee of Barnard College from 1986 to 1991, which, in addition to her duties at the Garden Club of America, required her to divide her time between West Virginia and New York City.
Mrs. Jones is survived by her brother, Robinson Callen of Savannah, Ga.; his 14 children; 32 grandchildren; and two great-grandchildren.
Her children include Christine Jones Huber (Joel) of Durham, N.C., Herbert Jones (Hollis Hampton) of Nashville, Tenn. and Paris, France, Callen Jones McJunkin (the late Thomas) of Charleston, and Adelyn Jones (Mercury Roberts) of Boulder, Colorado.
"Nana" adored her seven grandchildren, Jameson Jones McJunkin (Kasey Craig) of Truckee, Calif., Allison McJunkin Stalzer (Kenneth) of Lakewood, Colo., Jennifer McJunkin Schwartz (Brian) of Chicago, Ill., Mary Huber Cooley (Joseph) of Durham, N.C., Amanda Huber Klein (Howard) of Brooklyn, N.Y., Deirdre Jones Sadad (Azam) of Paris, France and Logan Blake Jones of Nashville, Tenn.
Her great-grandchildren are Hayden Callan and Reece Wynn McJunkin, McKenzie Callen Stalzer, William Jasper and Jordan Eleanor Cooley.
A team of dedicated caregivers managed Gloria's last years with great warmth, generosity, skill, excellent humors, and extraordinary dedication. They include Mary Mitchell, Donna Sturgill, Brenda Fields, Leslie Lively, Debbie Robinson, Angie Sturgill and Lois Akers.
Friends may call at Barlow-Bonsall Funeral Home, 1118 Virginia Street East, Charleston, from 4 to 6 p.m. Friday, September 9.
Memorial service will be held at 11 a.m., Saturday, September 10, at St. John's Episcopal Church, 1105 Quarrier Street, Charleston, WV 25301.
The family asks that in lieu of flowers, memorial gifts may be made to Kanawha Hospice Care, 1606 Kanawha Boulevard, West, Charleston, WV 25387 – 2536; St. John's Episcopal Church,1105 Quarrier Street, Charleston, WV 25301; The West Virginia Symphony Orchestra, 110 Wyoming Street, Suite 100, Charleston, WV 25302.
Barlow-Bonsall Funeral Home is handling the arrangements.
Remember so well how many times you spoke about your sister, Gloria...and with so much pride about her beauty and swimming feats! I went to the swimming museum in Ft. Lauderdale to view the photos they had of Gloria, and bragged that I was a good friend of her brother! She will always be with you. Love.
Love and peace to Gloria Jones\' family and friends. We are blessed to know this remarkable, gracious and fun-loving lady, who inspired us in many ways and made a better world!!!
I am deeply sorry for your loss of a very gracious lady. Ms Gloria was always so very kind to Rick and I and I have many fond memories of good times at Lundale with all of you.

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer addresses keeping hair, nail salons closed
Whitmer lifts stay-at-home order for all of Michigan
LANSING, Mich. – Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer announced a dramatic loosening of statewide coronavirus (COVID-19) restrictions on Monday, but some popular businesses will remain closed.
MORE FROM ROD MELONI: Broad takeaways from Whitmer lifting state's stay-at-home order
The stay-at-home order, which was originally announced in March, has been lifted. Restrictions are being eased on many businesses, services and activities, though strict social distancing measures are still in place.
Monday's changes could mean a lot of money staying in Michigan instead of going to other states.
Michiganders near the border have started going to Indiana and Ohio for services such as nail and hair salons. Those businesses are still closed in Michigan, so that isn't likely to immediately change.
That's sending money to those states, but reopening other businesses should help Michigan.
"We're taking a big step forward today," Whitmer said. "It's undeniable we've gone from where we've said everyone needs to stay home except for these essential things to now it's OK to reengage except for a few of these things that are too risky. That's our judgement."
Restaurants, retail, outdoor training classes, outdoor sporting events and groups of up to 100 people outside are now allowed.
Gyms, exercise studios, fitness centers, spas, hair salons and movie theaters are among the businesses that will remain closed.
Michigan Gov. Whitmer lifts stay-at-home order across state, reopening restaurants, more
Here's everything that's reopening in Michigan now that stay-at-home order has been lifted
Michigan's reopening reaches phase 4 -- here's the next stage and what it will take to get there
Why Whitmer thought now was right time to reopen entire state
Here's a list of 27 types of businesses that are still closed in Michigan
Whitmer addressed the issue of people going over the borders.
"I'd tell people if you're like me and you need a haircut that desperately, a couple more weeks of this and we may be back in a place where we're able to do that safely," Whitmer said.
Nail salons, body piercing shops, tattoo parlors and casinos are also still closed.
"If you're one of those people going to Ohio, I hope and pray you are doing your part not to bring COVID-19 home and that if you haven't, Google how you do a haircut or throw your hair into a ponytail and get through the next couple of weeks so we can resume some of these things."
Whitmer is setting her sights on getting to phase five, "Containing," by July 4 weekend. She said we need to watch out for a possible second wave of the virus.

For the second straight year, Silver Lake College has been named by U.S. News & World Report as one of the Top 100 Regional Colleges in the Midwest.
Last year marked the first time the Manitowoc college was included on the list; it was ranked among a tier of colleges between No. 70 and No. 100.
Silver Lake College moved up the charts to No. 66 on this year's ranking, which was announced Wednesday, Sept. 9.
"The U.S. News & World Report rankings are an affirmation that Silver Lake College continues to move in the right direction and that our focus is on preparing students for a 21st-century work environment," said Chris Domes, in his third year as president of Silver Lake College. "As we advance toward becoming America's first Catholic Work College, it will continue to strengthen our identity and distinction as a quality liberal arts college, not only in Wisconsin, but across the country as well."
Domes added that the U.S. News & World Report honor also "is an endorsement of our faculty and staff and their commitment to academic excellence and preparing students for successful lives after college."

According to U.S. News & World Report, its ranking system rests on two pillars. The formula uses quantitative measures that education experts have proposed as reliable indicators of academic quality, and it's based on researched views of what matters in education.
First, schools are categorized by their mission, which is derived from the breakdown of types of higher education institutions as refined by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. The Carnegie classification, which is used extensively by higher education researchers, has been the basis of the Best Colleges ranking category system since U.S. News & World Report's first rankings were published in 1983.
The U.S. Department of Education and many higher education associations use the system to organize their data and to determine colleges' eligibility for grant money. In short, the Carnegie categories are the accepted standard in higher education.
Indicators used to capture academic quality fall into a number of categories: assessment by administrators at peer institutions, retention of students, faculty resources, student selectivity, financial resources, alumni giving and graduation rate performance.
The indicators include input measures that reflect a school's student body, its faculty and its financial resources, along with outcome measures that signal how well the institution does its job of educating students.
