The special features interviews with executive producers Eddy Kitsis and Adam Horowitz to help tell the story of "Once Upon a Time: Storybrooke Has Frozen Over," airing SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 28 (7:00-8:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.
Welcome to Storybrooke, Maine, a small town that probably won't show up on your GPS, but it's a magical place to visit. Reality and myth merged after Emma broke Regina's curse, which had deprived the fairy tale characters of their memories and trapped them in our modern world. When they finally regained their identities, our heroes were dismayed to discover that they weren't transported back to Fairy Tale Land. To make matters worse, Rumplestiltskin – aka Mr. Gold – decided to escalate his power struggle with Regina by introducing magic into the town. But this is our world, and magic always has a tendency to yield unfathomable consequences.
After defeating Zelena – the Wicked Witch of the West – Emma and Hook were pulled into her time portal, which brought them back to the Enchanted Forest of the past. When they accidentally thwarted the initial meeting of Snow White and Prince Charming, Emma and Hook had to find a way to fix the timeline and get them together, or risk altering their futures and possibly obliterating Emma and Henry's existence — not an easy task to undertake. When Emma was captured by The Evil Queen, she met a female prisoner scheduled to be executed. Upon finding a way to escape, Emma saved the prisoner's life by taking her along. But Hook believed the woman's fate was to die and feared that things could be altered by her continued existence. After successfully getting her parents back on track, Emma, Hook and the prisoner found themselves captured by Rumplestiltskin and imprisoned in a room that contained his most unpredictable magic. With no way to escape, Emma discovered that her own magic had returned, and she was able to whisk herself, Hook and the prisoner back to present day Storybrooke. Upon their joyous return, Emma learned that the prisoner was none other than Robin Hood's wife, Marian, who was presumed dead in the previous timeline. Regina and Robin Hood had begun to fall madly in love with one another, but with Marian's return, their relationship could be in danger. And, unbeknownst to anyone, Emma and Hook also brought back Elsa.
You never give up on the people you love…
The Storybrooke residents do not know what Elsa has in store for them. Back in the past, in Elsa's kingdom of Arendelle, we will discover what happened to her, her sister Anna and Kristoff, and how and why Elsa became a prisoner of Rumplestiltskin. And now that Emma has brought back Robin Hood's wife, Marian, and possibly sparked the end of Regina's relationship with him, will she return to her old, evil ways and do everything in her power to get even? And newlyweds Belle and Rumplestiltskin continue to be deeply in love with each other. But Rumple is hiding a secret from Belle; one that, if found out, could destroy their happiness – he continues to be the master of the dagger that calls upon him to be the Dark One. Can Emma and Hook commit to one another, and can these two damaged people take their love to the next level? Mary Margaret and David have a new baby, Prince Neal, and are looking forward to raising him into a proud, brave and loving adult. But they are still sad that they were not able to do this with Emma, instead helping her escape the curse when she was first born and not meeting her again until she was 28 years old. Henry is very happy to have both of his mother's back in Storybrooke. But with biological mom Emma and paternal grandfather Rumplestiltskin's blood running through his veins, he will be tested by both the light and the darkness. Finally, Will Scarlet (Michael Socha, "Once Upon a Time in Wonderland"), a former member of Robin Hood's band of Merry Men, has traveled across many lands to make his way to Storybrooke. He finds himself intertwined in the goings-on in town for the first time as his mysterious past pushes him to an unknown future.
As the season continues, new fairy tale characters will be revealed and old acquaintances will be revisited. But not everyone can be trusted.
"Once Upon a Time" stars Ginnifer Goodwin as Snow White/Mary Margaret, Jennifer Morrison as Emma Swan, Lana Parrilla as the Evil Queen/Regina, Josh Dallas as Prince Charming/David Nolan, Emilie de Ravin as Belle, Colin O'Donoghue as Hook, Jared S. Gilmore as Henry, Michael Socha as Will Scarlet and Robert Carlyle as Rumplestiltskin/Mr. Gold.

With the 2019 deadline looming for Egypt, financial institutions are working to understand the implications of the latest impairment requirements IFRS9 introduced by IASB. And if this was not enough, we add another global regulatory initiative requiring them to perform stress testing on these potential losses, related capital and income impact for the entire enterprise. Not only do we expect IFRS9 and stress testing to have a significant financial impact for the majority of large banks, we also know that the journey to reach the end goal will not be an easy one.
For those banks who have begun this journey, the bigger challenge includes data availability, coordination between units, mainly Risk and Finance, and having an acceptable understanding of the IFRS9 requirements and level of comprehensiveness of stress tests. A well thought of assessment plan is crucial to ensure that all necessary considerations are made and proper gap analysis is done. It is important that given the limited time, banks can achieve an acceptable financial impact that minimizes implementation effort but is still sufficiently prudent to ensure compliance.
Do we build new IFRS9 models, or do we leverage on our Basel models?
How do we know when an asset will have to move from 12 month Expected loss to a Lifetime expected loss?
Do we compute both 12 month expected loss and lifetime expected loss for each of my exposure?
How do we forecast future economic conditions?
With so little time, and so many things to do, how are banks moving along in their quest to comply with the IFRS9 deadline?
Banks planning for IFRS 9 compliance are likely going to need to invest in new and complementary information technology to meet performance, data management, analytics and integration between Risk and Finance. So choosing the right partner – one with the right banking industry experience and IFRS 9 domain expertise and broad solution capabilities – will be vital to success.


This lovely pastoral air is probably an older version of the Scots Measure, The Flowers of Edinburgh published by and sometimes attributed to James Oswald (1710-1769) though he never claimed it as his own.
Published in Kennedy Fraser's Songs of the Hebrides, this evocative melody from the island of Eigg was contributed by Kenneth Macleod.
Published in Orpheus Caledonius this is an elegant song air. Paty's Mill is near Carlops just south of Edinburgh.
Start this reel slowly and gradually increase the speed—and the excitement!
A sentimental song tune about a beautiful part of Scotland.
A son of the famous Niel Gow, Nathaniel wrote this as a tribute to his older brother William who died in 1791 at the age of 40. This beautiful time gives the player the opportunity to show skill with levers. Play with the right hand leaving the left hand free for all the lever changes. Use plenty of rubato.
The words to this sad song air were written by Dumfries born John Mayne (1759-1836). The tune is earlier than the words and is probably pre 1680.


On October 22, 2012, a former Florida Hospital employee admitted to stealing patient information that was used to target customers for lawyers and chiropractors, according to a number of sources. The man allegedly pleaded guilty in Orlando federal court to one count of conspiracy and one count of wrongful disclosure of health information, according to the Department of Justice (DOJ). By accessing this information the man violated criminal provisions of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
To read a press release on the guilty plea from the DOJ, click here.
You may remember the news story about a privacy breach at Florida Hospital back in October 2011. The breach involved more than 700,000 patient records that were accessed by the ex-employee between 2009 and 2011. We previously wrote about that story. Click here to read the blog.
Patients Received Calls from Lawyer and Chiropractor Referrals.
Federal investigators said the ex-hospital worker was looking specifically for information on car accident victims. He would allegedly sell that information to co-conspirators.
According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) affidavit, some patients would receive calls offering lawyer or chiropractor referrals about a week after their hospital visit.
The FBI also allegedly found payments from co-conspirators to the former hospital employee.
To read the FBI affidavit, click here.
Will the Ex-Employee Get Prison Time?
According to the Orlando Sentinel, the ex-Florida Hospital worker faces up to 15 years in federal prison for these criminal charges.
The man will be sentenced on January 14, 2013. Be sure to check our blog for updates to this story.
Be Sure to Get a HIPAA Risk Assessment to Avoid Violations.
As a health provider you know that you must safeguard and protect confidential patient medical information to avoid civil and criminal penalties against you and your practice. A HIPAA Risk Assessment is a thorough review and analysis of areas where you may have risk of violating the HIPAA laws. We recently wrote a blog on this subject, click here to view it.
HIPAA Privacy Complaints Are Effective.
Many individuals whose privacy is breached fail to realize how effective a HIPAA Privacy Complaint can be. These complaints, which can be filed online to the Office of Civil Rights (OCR), are fully investigated. Stiff civil fines and even criminal prosecutions may result.
Since the time period is short for filing these (180 days), the first step you should take, if your medical privacy is breached, should be to file a HIPAA Privacy Complaint.

With the notable exception of Eustathios of Thessalonike, Byzantine grammarians, lexicographers, and philologists did not show much interest in the development of their own living language. Valuable sources for lexicographers include the Souda, Pseudo-Zonaras, and the Etymologicum Gudianum. Modern lexicography of medieval Greek can be traced back to Meursius and Du Cange during the seventeenth century. Sophocles took an important step towards modernizing quotations by using Migne's Patrologia Graeca. In the twentieth century, the new edition of Liddell and Scott included many Byzantine texts. Another remarkable project is the Greek-Spanish Dictionary, by Adrados and others. After World War II, new examples continued to appear, the most important of which was the Thesaurus Patrum Graecorum. There are a number of problems that affect Byzantine lexicography, including those concerning indices and special glossaries and the reliability of editions.

The Fountain on Locust's Christine Johnson asked, "St. Louis has the City Museum, what does Timisoara have?"
I give the late Bob Cassily tons of credit where credit is due, but Timisoara is by no means lacking in the children's park department. There is a "parcul pentru copii" a few steps from my hotel. Just near the river's edge, children can ride mini-canoes through a small waterway, play in stick-huts, jump on trampolines, or play a giant game of chess. Adults can borrow a bicycle at the edge of the park from the "I love velo" green initiative program that the city implemented recently and ride around the city. The best part is that I have to walk through this park to get downtown, so it makes my walk that much more pleasant.
Canoe ride. Unfortunately I'm too big to fit.
A giant chess game. Think the World Chess Hall of Fame in St. Louis is jealous?
I finally worked up the courage to borrow a bicycle on Wednesday. I do not pride myself on my bike-riding skills, but luckily I managed not to run into anyone or completely fall off (though I came close). I could ride across the whole city in about 10-15 minutes. The best part? The basket worked as a perfect place to keep all the pastries I couldn't help but to buy from the street vendors.
My sweet ride, photographed in Piata Unirii while I took a break to enjoy a coffee.
OnStL's Grant Murphy asked, "St. Louis has Budweiser, what does Timisoara have?"
Well, Grant, Timisoara has Timisoreana Fabrica de Bere. It's so close to my hotel that I can sometimes smell the malt in the air. The beer is light and easy to drink, and costs about one US dollar for a pint. Bottom's up!
I have lots more questions to answer, so stay tuned. La revedere!

I currently work to evolve and evaluate hypotheses on how inter-ethnic relations affect the foreign policy of states. More specifically, I deal with the instances in which states intervene in other countries' civil conflicts in order to influence their outcome. Interventions in civil conflicts are often explained with reference to material factors. I aim to better understand how affective factors cause states to intervene. Does affinity between ethnic groups in civil war countries and potential interveners make intervention more likely? How do relations of power and predominance between ethnic groups in potential interveners affect foreign policy? May characteristics of ethnic groups, particularly with regard to power, explain the partiality of interventions? I have taken some preliminary analytical and empirical steps in my MA thesis, but the material is still work in progress.
I also assist with research under the project on Political Institutions, Development, and a Domestic Civil Peace, led by Håvard Hegre.

FEATURES From Aksak Maboul to Crammed Discs, Marc Hollander Envisions a Musical Melting Pot By Andy Thomas · September 15, 2020
"Growing up in Belgium, there wasn't just one dominant scene or style of music," says Marc Hollander, who founded Aksak Maboul with his friend Vincent Kenis in Brussels in the spring of 1977. "There was stuff coming in from everywhere, and so I created my own musical world. I was listening to free jazz, classical, psychedelic rock, blues, and was also going a lot to a record library where I would borrow lots of records from all over the world. So I became a geek for all this."
Hollander is recalling the musical inspirations for the duo's debut LP. Described as "a significant record…way ahead of its time" by Gilles Peterson, Onze danses pour combattre la migraine was a visionary album that incorporated minimalism, fake jazz, avant-pop, world exotica, and proto-techno into something that is still hard to pin down more than 40 years later.
Released on Marc Moulin's short-lived Kamikaze label, the LP would create the template for Hollander's own Crammed Discs imprint, which he formed in 1980 to release Aksak Maboul's second LP Un Peu de l'Âme des Bandits. Following a post-punk album from the early 1980's as Honeymoon Killers and a lost LP unearthed in 2014 as Ex-Futur, Hollander and his wife French singer Véronique Vincent, have now returned as Aksak Maboul for their most ambitious LP to date.
Aksak Maboul
Un peu de l'âme des bandits Aksak Maboul .
Back in the mid-'70s Hollander and Kenis imagined what music could be like in a future without borders. For Hollander, the creation of this musical nomadism or what he calls "imaginary world music," developed out of a youth spent growing up in Belgium. "It's a country with two very different cultures Flemish and French speaking and it sits on the border of Northern European Anglo Saxon Germanic world and the Latin so there are influences from everywhere," he says. "So because it doesn't have such a strong national identity in general, the people are open to taking in more things from abroad."
Inspired partly by Can's Ethnological Forgery Series (the abbreviation E.F.S. appeared on the group's LPs around that time) Hollander and Kenis filtered all the music they were hearing to create a kind of utopian musical fusion. "It was like trying to imitate stuff you like but not being able to do it properly, so it gives the music an interesting twist, and it can become something really interesting," Hollander says.
In addition to being innovative in its use of global sounds, the LP's implementation of electronics was also prescient—particularly on the proto-techno of "Saure Gurke." "I really liked that Kraftwerk LP Ralf & Florian, and after that I bought a second-hand drum machine and started to experiment," explains Hollander. "So I was listening to Kraftwerk and also Terry Riley and my idea was do something that brought the two together but to add something from myself. As it happens [Detroit techno pioneer] Kevin Saunderson used the same chords many years later. I don't think he heard what we were doing, but he had the same influences so came up with similar music."
While Hollander and Kenis were eschewing the conventions of Western rock, over in London a handful of European avant-prog bands held the first Rock in Opposition event. Conceived under the slogan, "The music the record companies don't want you to hear," this anti-establishment collective was led by the British band Henry Cow. "I really loved the early Zappa, and I thought Henry Cow were extending that in their own way but more improv," says Hollander. "What happened was I went up to [Henry Cow drummer] Chris Cutler after a show and gave him our first record. He wrote to me shortly after, and that's how that relationship started." With Vincent Kenis on a musical adventure in Africa, Hollander drafted in Cutler and Fred Frith (of both Henry Cow and Art Bears) for the second Aksak Maboul LP.
Un Peu de l'Âme des Bandits was even more experimental than its predecessor, mixing the free improv of its Henry Cow members with music from as far afield as Polynesia to Central Africa. It was to be the first release on Hollander's Crammed Discs, a label that both tapped into the DIY spirit of punk and anticipated today's global musical collaging.
It was also home to Hollander's next project, which revived the Brussels mid-'70s cult rock band The Honeymoon Killers. Consisting, in the words of Crammed Discs, of "an assortment of miscreants, taxi drivers, cooks, professional gamblers and other musical delinquents who performed a massacre on all genres," the group's debut Spécial Manubre! was released in 1977. For the new iteration of the band, original members Yvon Vromman, Gérald Fenerberg, and Jean-François Jones Jacob joined Hollander on keyboards and Vincent Kenis on bass, alongside Hollander's future wife, the French singer Véronique Vincent.
The Honeymoon Killers
Special Manubre The Honeymoon Killers .
It was a time when the Brussels' post-punk and electronic scene was thriving, thanks to venues like Plan K and Sandwich records (home to Polyphonic Size), who helped distribute the early Crammed Discs records. The no-wave-meets-avant-rock-meets-chanson of The Honeymoon Killers sat happily next to the early Crammed Discs releases, which spanned everything from the post-punk of London's Family Fodder to Israeli rock band Minimal Contact to the Afro European electronic soundclash of Zazou Bikaye. "From the beginning, we wanted to work with people from all over the world and very quickly we had bands from eight different countries," says Hollander.
Hollander and Vincent's next project was Ex Futur, whose music took in dub, cinematic jazz, proto-techno and music from across the world. The project would languish in the vaults for 30 years. "We were trying to do something that was like Aksak Maboul, but with more drum machines and more pop," says Hollander. "In the end maybe it was too pop for our avant-garde friends and far too experimental for a pop LP at that time."
Figures Aksak Maboul .
Compact Disc (CD), Poster/Print, Vinyl LP
When it was finally released from various tapes and demos in 2014, Laetitia Sadier of Stereolab praised it, saying: "They're sort of our parents, and that's really amazing to me. We've been separated and found again later on." Sadier was one of many fans including Lena Willikens, Hello Skinny, Aquaserge, and Burnt Friedmann, who released the tribute LP 16 Visions Of Ex-Futur in 2016.
After the success of the Ex Futur LP, Hollander and Vincent formed a new live incarnation of Aksak Maboul. This gave them the idea for a new LP that combined the best elements from the three LPs into something that would work for a new generation.
Written and produced over the last two years, Figures (which comes with poetry and artwork by Vincent) draws on the eclectic sources that have always been the group's trademark to create something as unclassifiable as ever. "I'm really pleased by the fact that, despite the project's long, intermittent history, the new album has been received as something current fresh and new as opposed to so many 'revival albums' by resuscitated bands," says Hollander. "I think now people are much more open to the kind of thing we were doing back then, in taking elements from all these musical genres and bringing them together. They seem ready to embrace whatever new variations Aksak Maboul will come up with, and that's really exciting."

Sharaqpur Sharif is a small town near Lahore less than an hours drive. During a recent visit to my friends farm house, it was observed that it had a beautiful tree lined canal which led to a quickly planned ride there.
My friend Col ( R ) Lodhi was kind enough to host us after the ride with a tasty lassi and a dip in the cool tube well.
This ride had a special attraction as Kashif Mir Sb had brought his Kayak and everybody took turns in it.


In the midst of upheaval as the climate changes, one thing is certain: our weather patterns have turned severe. This shift has us modifying the way we garden so we can accommodate these environmental extremes and perhaps show Mother Nature a little TLC at the same time. The lawn in particular is seeing a revolution. From eco-friendly maintenance practices to alternative "grasses",� lawns are making the leap into the 21st century.
The first step toward growing a 21st century lawn is to change your image of what a lawn should look like. A lawn can be a mix of grass types or perhaps a groundcover. If you want the traditional turf, adjust your expectations from pristine to a more Zen appearance. During periods of drought, it's okay for your grass to brown up and accepting that maybe a weed or two is acceptable if it means you can avoid using harsh herbicide. Does your lawn really have to be the uniform velvet green only achieved through heavy applications of chemical fertilizers? Additionally, a side benefit for your mental health is that it can be quite liberating to let go of the idea of the golf-course perfect, traditional lawn.
An actively growing lawn needs one inch of water per week.
Deep soak once or twice a week rather than performing frequent light waterings to promote strong root growth.
A professionally installed irrigation system is ideal, but you can easily set up a series of oscillating sprinkler heads connected with garden hoses.
Use a water timer and set it for between 3:00 and 5:00 a.m. This prevents moisture evaporation during the heat of the day and gives the lawn an opportunity to dry before nightfall, a time when fungi are most active.
If your city is under water restrictions and your area is experiencing a lack of rain, taper off the frequency of watering and let the grass go dormant. It will green up again when the rain returns.
Raise your mower blade to cut a maximum of 1/3 off the grass. Mowing high keeps roots cool and helps the grass retain its moisture. The longer blades also increase photosynthesis making for a healthier lawn. Additionally, taller grass chokes out more weeds and is more tolerant of drought.
Mow once a week to stimulate growth when rain is plentiful. Conversely, cut back on mowing during a drought when the grass is stressed from lack of water.
Mow in a different pattern each week for a clean cut and to prevent grass from growing in one direction.
Mow when the grass is completely dry and leave the clippings to add organic matter and nitrogen back into the soil.
Your new mantra is to feed the soil not the grass. Healthy soil promotes healthy roots and healthy roots make for lush plants.
Top dress your lawn with compost to improve soil quality, increase moisture retention and increase organic matter. Rake a 1/4-inch thick layer of compost over the grass and water it in.
The mono-species, carpet of green that most people envision when they hear the word lawn is a relatively new concept. Before WWII most lawns were made up of a mixture of grasses, clover and what, until the past several years, we'd consider weeds. The introduction of synthetic fertilizers and herbicides coupled with a heavy migration to the suburbs birthed the notion of a weed-free, plush expanse of grass. With the rise of organics and a preference for earth-friendly methods, the pre-WWII lawn is seeing a renaissance.
Fine-bladed fescues and buffalo grass are just two of the many options available that are more able to withstand infrequent watering.
Miniature clovers are popular because they are low maintenance and because they add nitrogen back to the soil. There has been resurgence of the pre-WWII lawn and a mix of clover and grass will continue to grow in popularity in the 21st century.
For a shady area with acidic soil, moss will do wonders as a groundcover. You can purchase moss starter mixes or just make your own by blending 1 part moss, 3 parts beer and 1 part white sugar.

University of Tampa baseball team flies to Cuba for cultural exchange
Posted on January 14, 2014 by Anthony Brenner
The University of Tampa's baseball team formed a sea of red polos at Tampa International Airport Sunday as the players prepared for a weeklong trip to Cuba.
The trip will see them take on the Industriales Blue Lions, Mayabeque Hurricanes and Artemisa Hunters in three exhibition games. Mayabeque and Artemisa are among the country's best baseball teams.
"It's just a privilege and it's a blessing," said pitcher Tyler York, 21. "I think we all feel honored to have the chance to play a national team."
"I'm expecting a pro team, pretty much," said Hodgskin, 22.
Though baseball is taking them to Cuba, the trip was designed as a cultural exchange. About 50 people, including parents, coaches and a few visitors who helped organize the trip, left on a 2 p.m. flight to Havana on Sunday.
The team will travel on cultural literacy and international education licenses through the organization People to People. Representatives from the World Trade Center of Tampa, the UT Athletic Department and the UT Office of International Programs also helped plan the trip, believed to be the first of its kind for a Florida team.
From their home base in Havana, players will visit the Ernest Hemingway House, eat at local restaurants and meet with college-aged Cubans. Travel to Cuba remains somewhat restricted for Americans, and many players and parents said they recognized it as a rare opportunity.
Tampa City Councilman Charlie Miranda, who traveled to Cuba as a youngster to play baseball, will accompany the Spartans.
"It's about playing the ball, it's about spreading culture and the exchange," Miranda said.
Coach Joe Urso hopes that exchange will include a chance to give back to needy kids.
Along with their suitcases and gym bags, the team hauled uniforms, bats, gloves, and other gear donated by the New York Yankees and the Palma Ceia Little League.
And when they leave Cuba on Saturday, Urso will ask players to return home without their shoes and gloves. The Spartans will come back to new gear, but they hope leaving something behind will help spread goodwill — no matter what happens on the field.
"We're going to do this first class," Urso said, "and make sure the people out there are going to end up with equipment that's really good."

Current Poll
Hamline sits out on liberal arts alliance
A new alliance to address equity in liberal arts institutions was founded this November.
Antonio Risso
Anika Besst, Senior Reporter
Liberal Arts institutions, such as Hamline, occupy just shy of 15.5 percent of all colleges and universities in the United States. For them, a new alliance was born to form a community of sharing and collaboration towards issues of racial equity and inclusion on campuses. The Liberal Arts College Racial Equity Leadership Alliance (LACRELA) has begun, and it includes 51 institutions.
It was founded by six liberal arts institutions: Macalester University, DePauw University, Oberlin College, Occidental College, Pomona College and Skidmore College.
The LACRELA offers faculty and staff of membership institutions resources related to antiracism, diversity and equity. For $18,000 a year, institutions get access to research, surveys and virtual programming, all of which is provided by the University of Southern California's Race and Equity Center.
As of now, Hamline is not a part of this alliance. President Fayneese Miller provided a few reasons as to why she did not join, which include overlap of resources and the financial factor.
"For $18,000 you get access to case studies, you get information about how you communicate issues around race and you get research findings. We have an associate vice president for inclusive excellence who in essence provides us with case studies, identifies things we might need to read, does surveys, oversees our DISC committee for the university, is involved with racial transformation stuff on our campus," Miller said. "In essence, we have an in-house person who is providing the services that this organization is providing for those institutions. So I saw it as a duplication and also not an acknowledgement of the good work that David Everett is doing and the fact that he has a national reputation in this area."
Dr. David Everett began at Hamline in August of 2018 as Hamline's first Associate Vice President of Inclusive Excellence. Everett works with the Hamline community of students, faculty and staff in furthering to encourage and cultivate a space of equity and inclusion.
"I think from a general standpoint, when it comes to those types of initiatives, each university while choosing to sign on and be a part of it, in some way, shape or form has to understand and be able to craft how that is going to be able to work in its institution, in its culture, its framework and larger body," Everett said.
The formation of a racial equity leadership alliance for community colleges in California by USC in June gave rise to the idea for the LACRELA. This alliance's forming was announced Nov. 11, 2020.
"I did not see the need to be a part of something when we are already in this space and have been in this space prior to the murder of George Floyd," Miller said. "When you look at when this organization came up, it was after the murder of Geogre Floyd. We were doing this work prior to that."
As for Hamline, both Miller and Everett touched on a focus of how Hamline has room for improvement when it comes to diversity and inclusion related to hiring. Everett also mentioned continued attention to the retention of students and staff and the classroom aspect of who is succeeding, engaged and how the content relates and reflects.
"I think it is absolutely necessary that all of our institutions, including Hamline, work to become more inclusive, more equitable, understand what the issues are, understand the systemic racism, the classism, the homophobia, all of those issues that exist that negatively impact our ability to educate at the level that we need to," Miller said. "So if we understand these issues and we understand how these issues are often in place to hold people back, then we understand why as an institution, why our students understand the issues and when they leave us they will continue to combat these issues. I think it is really you cannot talk about being a social justice institution without talking about being an inclusive institution."
President Miller, who started at Hamline in July of 2015, also added from her own perspective offering more reasoning behind her decision not to join at this time.
"I don't want to be negative about the alliance, but I am more concerned about action rather than putting our name on a list. So if that organization will give us something very different than what David Everett and our DISC committee will do, then I am all in favor of it. But I have to know that that committee is going to give us something more before I invest $18,000 a year into that endeavor," Miller said. "To me, $18,000 is tuition and scholarship money. I think like that first. And other institutions might not, but as a woman and a woman of color who herself was first generation, these are things that I think about within this space. So I want to see action. I want to see all of our campuses put things in place on our campus that help move the needle in the way which we need to move it."

1878-1883 autograph album of Mary Ellen Griswold, "Ella", of Kinsman, Ohio. The autographs were collected before and after Ella's marriage to George William Birrell.
The album is approximately 7" x 4-1/4" and contains the sentiments of 44 of Ella's relatives and friends. An alphabetical list of the signers appears at the end of this post.
The album also includes two items associated with women's suffragist Mary Ashton (Rice) Livermore: a receipt that she signed as having been paid $50 in full for an 1885 lecture at Kinsman, Ohio; and a short newspaper clipping of her death in 1905. The clipping mentions that Mary had been a candidate for U.S. president on a woman's suffrage platform.
Mary Ellen Griswold was born 30 January 1859 at Gustavus, Ohio, the daughter of George Absalom Griswold and Mary Augusta (Sperry) Griswold, who were both Connecticut natives.
Laura S. Griswold signed a page at Toledo, Ohio, in June 1880 and called herself Ella's sister. She was actually Ella's sister-in-law, Laura (Shelby) Griswold, husband of Ella's older brother George H. Griswold.
Two of Ella's father's sisters signed pages in her album. One was Ellen Frances (Griswold) Strieby, who signed a page at Kinsman, Ohio, on June 29, 1883.
The other was Adeline Cornelia (Griswold) Walker of Monroe City, Missouri, who signed a page at Kinsman, Ohio, on July 4, 1883. She noted that she was then 73 years old. The R. M. Walker of Monroe City, Missouri, who signed a page on June 29, 1883, was presumably Adeline's husband Ralph Manning Walker.
For the names of other relatives who signed pages in the album, refer to the list of signers below.
On 25 November 1880 in Trumbull County, Ohio, Mary Ellen Griswold married George William Birrell, son of George and Nancy Birrell according to "A Twentieth Century History of Trumbull County, Ohio", source of the link preceding, or son of Henry and Agnes (Bonthrone) Birrell, as mentioned in various online trees.
George William Birrell was born 7 May 1845 at Kinsman, Ohio. He signed a page in Ella's album at Kinsman, Ohio, on March 11, 1881.
Ella and George would have three children before George's death in 1907. Ella lived until 1928.
The last two pages in the album were signed by James McGranahan and Charles Clinton Case, noted musicians and composers who lived in the Kinsman, Ohio area. James McGranahan and his wife Addie signed a page on July 30, 1881.
Charles Clinton Case and his wife Annie W. Case signed a page on July 17, 1880.
George W. Birrell of Kinsman, Ohio, signed on March 11, 1881. Presumably Ella's future husband or his father.
Annie W. Case, signed on July 17, 1880, on a page shared with her husband Charles Clinton Case.
Laura S. Griswold, signed in June 1880 at Toledo, Ohio; called herself Ella's sister, but she was actually her sister-in-law. She was Laura (Shelby) Griswold, wife of Ella's brother George H. Griswold.
Catherine Griswold of Poquonock, Hartford, Connecticut; middle initial is S or L.
Clara B. King, signed at Kinsman, Ohio, on August 22, 1880; "one of your S. S. girls"
Addie McGranahan, signed on July 30, 1881. Her husband, composer and music educator James McGranahan shared the page.
Bertha L. Melvin, signed on July 6, 1880. She shared the page with James Melvin, her father. Her mother Minnie E. Melvin signed the following page.
James Melvin, signed on July 6, 1880. He shared the page with his daughter Bertha Melvin. His wife Minnie E. Melvin signed the following page.
Minnie E. (Yates) Melvin of Toledo, Ohio; her husband James and their daughter Bertha signed the previous page.
Henry M. Strieby of Newark, New Jersey, signed at Kinsman, Ohio, on November 2, 1878. He was Henry Martin Strieby, son of Michael Epaphroditus Strieby and Ellen Frances (Griswold) Strieby, who was a sister to Ella's father George Absalom Griswold.
Ellen F. Strieby, signed at Kinsman, Ohio, on June 29, 1883; Ella's aunt. She was Ellen Frances (Griswold) Strieby, a sister to Ella's father George Absalom Griswold.
Edward D. Vance; his wife Annie Kellogg (Hammond) Vance signed the right facing page. He was a Presbyterian minister at Kinsman, Ohio.
Annie K. Vance, signed at Kinsman, Ohio, on March 6, 1880; her husband Rev. Edward D. Vance signed the left facing page. She was Annie Kellogg (Hammond) Vance.
R. M. Walker of Monroe City, Missouri, signed at Kinsman, Ohio, on June 29, 1883. Presumably Ralph Manning Walker, husband to Adeline Cornelia (Griswold) Walker, who signed the following page. She was Ella's paternal aunt.
Aunt Adeline of Monroe City, Missouri, signed at Kinsman, Ohio, on July 4, 1883; Ella's aunt. "73 years old January 10, 1883". She was Adeline Cornelia (Griswold) Walker, sister of Ella's father George Absalom Griswold.
They are probably related to the man who founded Griswold Mfg. in Erie, PA. Wikipedia says he was born in East Lyme, Ct. But I can't find a tree that ties them together. Kinsman Ohio isn't far from the PA line.
My father sold corrugated boxes to Griswold in the 1950's and 60's and we had the best set of cast iron pans in the neighborhood - samples so he could design the boxes to ship them in.
Thanks, Ed - so neat to think of a connection with Griswold cast iron pans and, further, to your family! I've never bought a Griswold with a nice Hamilton cardboard box, though - mine have come from auctions and antique shops.

Come quando fuori piove un film per la televisione del 1998 di Bruno Gaburro.

Trama
Alfredo, un giocatore incallito, sta per fare una grossa vincita al casinò, ma sul più bello viene beffato da una giovane affascinante donna, Anita. Braccato da un usuraio detto "lo zio", Alfredo si ritrova proprio a casa di Anita, a caccia dei soldi, che però ormai sono andati perduti. Avendo entrambi grossi problemi economici, i due decidono di vivere insieme nell'appartamento di lei e con il figlio Oscar, un bambino molto brillante rispetto alla propria età.
Alfredo, purtroppo, si rivela dipendente dal gioco e ogni volta che Anita si avvicina sentimentalmente a lui, riceve una amara delusione scoprendo che ha perso i pochi soldi che riescono a racimolare.
Dopo l'ennesima delusione e aver perso anche i soldi dell'affitto, Anita decide di sposare un uomo più anziano per dare più sicurezza al figlio. Solo in extremis, aiutato da Cocò e da Oscar, Alfredo riesce a fare un colpaccio al casinò e a sistemarsi, così da sposare Anita che nel frattempo ha annullato il matrimonio di convenienza.

The tandem BRCT domains of BRCA1 and MDC1 facilitate protein signaling at DNA damage foci through specific interactions with serine-phosphorylated protein partners. The MDC1 BRCT binds pSer-Gln-Glu-Tyr-COO(-) at the C terminus of the histone variant gammaH2AX via direct recognition of the C-terminal carboxylate, while BRCA1 recognizes pSer-X-X-Phe motifs either at C-terminal or internal sites within target proteins. Using fluorescence polarization binding assays, we show that while both BRCTs prefer a free main chain carboxylate at the +3 position, this preference is much more pronounced in MDC1. Crystal structures of BRCA1 and MDC1 bound to tetrapeptide substrates reveal differences in the environment of conserved arginines (Arg1699 in BRCA1 and Arg1933 in MDC1) that determine the relative affinity for peptides with -COO(-) versus -CO-NH(2) termini. A mutation in MDC1 that induces a more BRCA1-like conformation relaxes the binding specificity, allowing the mutant to bind phosphopeptides lacking a -COO(-) terminus.

Black Business Month is Every Month
WEBWIRE – Friday, September 2, 2022
How AT&T small business customer, STEMuli, is powering an educational metaverse
Pop Quiz! What do home security systems, potato chips, automatic elevator doors, and Super Soaker water guns all have in common?
They were all created by Black innovators!
For decades, these inventions and many others, have made life a little easier (and sometimes more fun) for people around the world. They have made such an impact on society that you may have a hard time thinking about life without them. Can you imagine a world without potato chips? No, thank you.
Luckily, Black innovation isn't an act of the past, clouded by decades of stagnation. Quite the contrary, there are Black changemakers making history every single day, and this Black Business Month, we're bringing their contributions to the limelight.
Take Taylor Shead as an example. She is the owner of Dallas-based small business, STEMuli Studios, and the creator of the first educational metaverse to launch in the United States.
(Note: The metaverse is a virtual environment that deeply resembles everyday life. It immerses users into a new world where they can work, play, socialize and in STEMuli's case – learn.)
Through this educational metaverse, students are able to play a 3D video game that takes them on a digital journey from their grade-level math and science classes to their ultimate career goals of being doctors, scientists, engineers, and more.
"If a student can see how math and science correlates to the progression of their dream job, we'll see more women, minorities and kids of low socioeconomic persist through the education needed to get the job of their dreams," Taylor said.
Fast Speeds and the Impact on Digital Learning
To help ensure students of all backgrounds can reap STEMuli's vast educational benefits, they need access to fast internet speeds and reliable connections. Classroom time is often limited and so are the attention spans of grade-level children. There is little patience for lag, buffering, and delayed load times.
"The most important factor for these students to succeed and be able to access our metaverse is having super-fast internet speeds," Taylor said. "We need our kids to be able to connect seamlessly to this digital environment, whether they're at home working from their computer, on their mobile phone, or sitting in the classroom with their teacher. They need some of the fastest speeds in the world, like AT&T offers."
Reliable Connections When You Need Them Most
In May 2022, Taylor became the 94th Black Woman – in the history of the world – to raise more than $1 million dollars in venture capital. It's an impressive feat that required hours and hours of phone calls with venture capitalists and loved ones around the world.
"Being a small business owner can be incredibly challenging," Taylor said. "From the time I was in college to now being a business owner, I have relied on my AT&T mobile service to connect me to the people helping me along this journey – my family, friends, students, STEMuli employees, mentors, and investors."
Taylor's early success is proof that small business owners aren't so small in heart. They are passionate, courageous innovators striving to make life better for people around the globe. And as they embark on their journey of making the world a better place, AT&T is right next to them, ready to power their dreams.

Ninety days ago this morning, the World Trade Center was destroyed in a terrorist attack. Since the attack, we have witnessed an amazing concentration of will on the part of the American people to remember the victims, care for their families, and bring justice to the individuals and groups who participated in the acts of war. We must not forget the shock that we all felt that morning, and the anger that followed, when we realized the barbarity of the acts that we witnessed on live TV.

Q: How do I show all perspectives in my rcp project eclipse perspective bar (coolbar) upon startup? Upon startup I only have the Open Perspective button and the default perspective that I set in method getInitialWindowPerspectiveId on its right. I want to show all my other perspectives on that coolbar.
Until now i tried:

*

*config.ini file with org.eclipse.ui/PERSPECTIVE_BAR_EXTRAS=id1,id2,id3

*plugin_customization.ini with org.eclipse.ui/PERSPECTIVE_BAR_EXTRAS=id1,id2,id3

*in class ApplicationWorkbenchAdvisor in the initialize method someone said to do this:
PlatformUI.getPreferenceStore().setDefault(IWorkbenchPreferenceConstants.PERSPECTIVE_BAR_EXTRAS,"id1,id2,id3");
PlatformUI.getPreferenceStore().setValue(IWorkbenchPreferenceConstants.PERSPECTIVE_BAR_EXTRAS,"id1,id2,id3");
Nothing worked.
However i found a workaround:
in class ApplicationWorkbenchWindowAdvisor in the postWindowOpen i manually show all my perspectives. This leaves them opened in the coolbar. However this is not the optimum way and maybe someone knows the proper way to show all my perspective shortcuts on the coolbar.
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().showPerspective("id1", getWindowConfigurer().getWindow());
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().showPerspective("id2", getWindowConfigurer().getWindow());
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().showPerspective("id3", getWindowConfigurer().getWindow());

Thanks

A: The 'plugin_customization.ini' method should work

*

*The 'plugin_customization.ini' file must be in your RCP plugin

*The 'plugin_customization.ini' must be included in the build in the 'build.properties' file.

With so many social media platforms to choose from, it is easy to get carried away and take on more than you can chew. Before signing up to a new account, think about whether this is an effective way of engaging with your customers.
Rather than signing up for every social media platform possible, start by going – what Business Insider refers to as – platform native and just focus on one or two accounts. Think about what kind of presence you would like to have and the types of product or service you offer? What services most of your audience use? Whether your product is best represented as video, in photos, text, audio or a mix of all of these. Whatever you decide, try to limit yourself to 5 accounts as no full-time employee would ever have enough time to effectively manage more than this.
Remember, social media is a two-way street and should be used as a tool for engagement rather than a soapbox. By focusing your efforts it will allow you to have more time to build a relationship with your readers and develop your brand which will, in turn, create a more authentic network based on quality interaction rather than a quantity of disengagement. Otherwise, you can risk becoming annoying and just add to the stream of noise, which will only push away your potential customers. It is really important to try and engage your audience and to get them to respond and react to your content in some way.
Here are my tips on getting the most out of your social media accounts.
First and foremost make sure you create a social media strategy and outline your tone of voice, how you would like your brand to be perceived and what kind of content you would like to post. Make a document, a simple excel spreadsheet which lists relevant links, shareable content which you can reference.
Post regularly to maintain the interest of your following but don't spread yourself too thin. Remember quality over quantity. Research the optimum times of engagement for your particular audience to get the most out of your post. CoSchedule recently compiled their own data and compared them with 23 studies from other social media platforms to find the optimum time to post your content.
Don't treat your business accounts like your personal account. What your friends and family might find interesting and be supportive of, may not be what your potential customer will find interesting.
Where you can include images and video as this will help catch your audience's eye and help them digest the information more easily.
Build business alliances that complement your own business but are not a direct competitor. Engage and support each other's posts to share networks and audience reach. You never know when you might need an ally.
At a certain point, once your account has got to a certain size you will encounter trolls. Don't take it personally and don't fall into the trap of entertaining them. Always handle them professionally and know when to respond publicly, when to let it go or to delete their comment (if you can).
Don't fall into the trap of syncing your phone to your social media accounts as before you know it you will come 24/7 and taking work home with you is never healthy.
Don't use your social media platform as a sales platform, capture your audience more creatively and provide useful insights, educational information or entertainment.
Grammar matters, so check and double check as a small typo can not only be embarrassing but can also cause a whole world of hurt. Have you ever left the L out of Public Service…. Well these days you simply have no excuse as there are free programmes out there like Grammarly which will make sure those cheek blushing moments don't happen.
Create some realistic goals of what you would like to achieve through social media so you can evaluate and justify the amount of time and money you put into creating content. There are many free tools such as Hootsuite, Buffer, Sprout Social, Buzzsumo, Google Marketing Platform, Google Alerts and so on which can you help you. If your posts are not performing particularly well, evaluate them and work out whether you can improve them or is it time to call it quits.
Once you have established a good presence on one platform then consider whether you could replicate that on another platform. Remember, don't spread yourself too thin, keep it simple and stay consistent.

Charlie Hebdo Trial Commences: Five Years After the Attacks that Shook Paris
In Paris, France, on January 7th, 2015, two heavily armored gunmen approached Corinne Rey, a
cartoonist for the Charlie Hebdo satirical magazine. With the threat of death, forced Rey to guide
them into the Hebdo office.
Once inside, the gunmen, later identified as French brothers Chérif and Saïd Kouachi, fired upon
the magazine's editorial board meeting. The attack, despite lasting several minutes, resulted in
the death of Stephane "Charb" Charbonnier, the magazine's senior editor, and several other
cartoonists and editorial staff. In total, the gunmen killed twelve people and injured eleven.
The gunmen identified themselves as members of al-Qaeda, an Islamic extremist organization,
and according to witnesses, repeated the words "Allahu akbar" meaning "God is most great"
during and after the attack. As a result, the attack was classified as an act of Islamic terrorism.
Known for their caricatures of political and religious figures, including the Islamic Prophet
Muhammed, Charlie Hebdo was targeted for several years' worth of satirizations of Islamic
religious figures.
In the aftermath of the shooting, several more terror attacks occurred across France, including a
jihadist shooting at a Jewish supermarket that left four dead. In total, seventeen people lost their
lives as a result of the terror attacks, and many more were injured. The Kouachi brothers were
killed by police during a manhunt that lasted three days and came to a close on January 10th,
2015. The high profile nature of these attacks were the first of many more Islamic extremist
terror attacks in the fall of 2015-- eventually, over 150 people lost their lives as a result of the
terror in France.
Half a decade later, beginning September 2nd, 2020, the Charlie Hebdo trial is taking place in
Paris, France. There are fourteen suspects currently standing trial for their suspected involvement
in the Charlie Hebdo attacks. Of the fourteen, eleven are currently in Paris and three are being
tried in absentia.
The Paris-based weekly has long been criticized for their satirical attacks on religious
institutions, including Islam. The magazine and its patrons had experienced prior acts of violence
in response to their depictions of religious figures, particularly the Prophet Mohammed. Despite
their headquarters being firebombed in 2011 and Mr. Charbonnier, the senior editor, being
declared as wanted "dead or alive" by jihadists in 2013, the left-wing magazine remained
unfazed and produced publications all the same. After the firebombing of their magazine, a
cartoon of a Muslim man kissing a Charlie Hebdo fan was published, captioned "Love is
stronger than hate."
The November 2011 Charlie Hebdo magazine cover
Despite attacks, criticism, and death threats, the magazine and its patrons remained fearless in
their publications. They refused to allow violence or the threat of violence, to deter their freedom
of speech. In the aftermath of the attacks, thousands rallied in Paris against Islamic extremism
and for their freedom of expression. Worldwide, the phrase "Je Suis Charlie" was adopted by the
post-attack movements. Meaning "I Am Charlie", the phrase encapsulated the feelings of both
the Paris community and the rest of the world that deeply felt the loss of a defiant democratic
voice.
Parisians march at Place de la Republique in Paris, France on January 7th, 2015.
Now, five years later, those associated with the attacks are standing trial. Those standing trial are
suspected of being accomplices to the Kouachi brothers and Amedy Coulibaly, the shooter at the
Kosher grocery store. None of the suspects are accused of being at the scene of the attack.
Rather, they are on trial for their knowledge of the attacks, failure to report the attacks, and
aiding the attackers. In addition to the fourteen suspects, 114 witnesses will take the stand.
Delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the trial is anticipated to last until November. If found
guilty, the suspects will face up to twenty years in prison.
For the witnesses and the entire Parisian community, this trial is a landmark moment. After five
long years, those who lost family and friends, who were injured, and those who witnessed the so-
named "attack on democracy" are seeing justice for what they endured.
Despite the resurfacing of old wounds, Charlie Hebdo remains impervious to everything against
them. On the first day of the trial, Charlie Hebdo republished the cartoons that instigated the
attack in wake of the trial, citing them as a part of history that cannot be rewritten nor erased.
The last depiction of the Prophet Mohammed that was published by the magazine was in the
issue that followed the attacks: it depicted Mohammed holding a sign with the slogan "Je Suis
Charlie" and a headline saying "All Is Forgiven."
The January 14th, 2015 publication of Charlie Hebdo
The attacks, publications, and trial have sparked debates both across France and the world
regarding terrorism and where the line should be drawn for free speech. Many stand with Charlie
Hebdo, including President Emmaneuel Macron of France, who stated that the people of France
have "the freedom to blaspheme." In addition, those from the magazine emphasize their innocence, a claim that is well-favored amongst the French, as evidenced by the post-shooting
rallies and the thousands of publications that the magazine continues to sell. Charlie Hebdo is
cited as a magazine that initiates difficult but well-needed discussions, if offensively.
The magazine remains under fire, however, by those who feel the attack was at the fault of the
magazine for their "racist" depictions of political and religious leaders. This snowballed into a
movement tagged as "Je Ne Suis Pas Charlie" meaning "I Am Not Charlie", for those who did
not sympathize with Charlie Hebdo. The controversy remains high to this day. Despite the murky
border between freedom of speech and racism that many of Charlie Hebdo's satirizations lie on,
many agree that there is no excuse for violence and stand in support of the accused being brought
to justice.
Whether standing with or against the Charlie Hebdo survivors, the world is watching this trial.
For all that France experienced during 2015, this trial marks the beginning of what will be a
cathartic phase of healing, and as many hope, a phase of healing between the Islamic community
with the rest of France. Best said by French writer Voltaire: "I do not agree with what you say,
but I will fight to the death to defend your right to say it."


Two weeks ago, we took Beckett to see a CVI doctor in Pittsburgh. We came home to birthdays, parties, and a busy week of therapy. Now, we're finally settling back into our routine, so here's the recap as best as I can remember.
We headed to the airport at 5:30 Tuesday morning. This was Beckett's first time flying. We had a quick trip to Vegas then a 4 hour flight to Pittsburgh. Beckett napped for the first hour, but other than that, he was wide awake and perfect! Because of the time difference, it was 5pm when we landed. Of course, we were stuck in rush hour traffic so we got off the freeway and grabbed dinner before heading to our hotel. Beckett took another short nap while we ate, then was up until 11. It doesn't seem that he's a fan of hotels. He was up screaming at 2am then again at 5 (which was 2am our time!) and wide awake ready for the day. By this point, I'm thinking he's going to be a beast for his appointment. After waiting 4 months for an appointment and traveling across the country, he' going to be completely out of sorts. But no, as always, he surprised me! He took a catnap on Jimmy's shoulder while we walked through the hospital. He woke up a few minutes in to his appointment and was a perfect angel!
So this doctor, she literally wrote the book on CVI. Her entire career is dedicated to studying children with CVI and has developed a scale on which to measure the child's functional vision. The scale ranges from 0 being no vision to 10 which is typical vision. The scale is split into three phases. This is all way too complex for me to explain, but ultimately, in all the areas she observed, Beckett's at a 3.5-4+ in all areas putting him in phase 2. Phase 1 is more static vision, getting him to fixate on an object. Phase 2 is more vision + function which is where we're now working.
When we first arrived, she went over his history and we discussed his current therapy routine. Her husband is a neonatologist and he sat in on the first half of the appointment too. They had him working with an ipad then we moved on to playing with a bowl full of whiffle balls the a little massager that vibrated and lit up. We ended with another app where there were specific targets to touch as opposed to getting a reaction from touching anywhere on the screen. Dr. Roman was impressed with Beckett and noted that he refined his movements and had decreased latency the longer he played with an object. All good things! She sent us a long report and wants to keep up with Beckett through videos and email so we can help him progress over the next year.
We're so glad we found Dr. Roman and were able to make the trip and get Beckett evaluated. It's so helpful to know where he's at with his vision and have an idea of where we should be headed to help Beckett achieve his full potential. It's also encouraging to have another professional be optimistic about what Beckett will be able to do.
Coen had his 2-month check up yesterday. He's 10 pounds, 12 ounces and 23.5 inches. He's 50th percentile for height, 25th for weight and 75th for head circumference. He also got his first round of vaccines. It was not a good day. All he wanted to do was sleep, but he was too uncomfortable to stay asleep. Poor baby boy. He's still adorable though! Here's his 9-week picture.
Happy birthday, beautiful Beckett! How are you already 2? We had a lovely party for our little man over the weekend. He had tons of fun celebrating at his super hero themed party with some of his favorite people.
Beckett got an awesome superman shirt with a cape from Aunt Lisa, perfect for the party theme. Coen wore a batman onesie with a cape and Addie was simply super girl. The kids got capes with their initial and a mask. They were pretty adorable running around saving the world.
I think my favorite moment was when the girls put on their princess dresses with their capes.
Because really, the only thing better than a princess is a super princess.
Last night, I snuck in Beckett's room for one last picture of our 1-year-old.
And this morning, woke up to a big 2-year-old boy! He's such a joy in our lives. We are so blessed to be his parents!
We've had two amazing months with this little darling! He's getting so big! Shots and check-up are this Thursday, but I just wanted to post this adorable picture of our sweet little boy!
Another fun and busy week for Coen! He went to a birthday party for Addie's dance friend, a wedding BBQ where we did a trial run with his first bottle, accompanied mommy to a doctor's appointment, had his first non-family sitter for a full hour at mommy's new gym, and had his first slumber party with gram and gramps while we took Beckett to Pittsburgh. All that in addition to running Beckett to therapies. There was no easing this kid into the world. He just got thrown into the chaos! I suppose he should get used to it being a third child. He's been full of smiles but is definitely forming a strong opinion about his likes and dislikes. He's also cutting back on naps and having a few longer sleeps, sometimes four or five hour stretches. He actually had his first night's sleep in his own crib last Thursday! Most nights he starts there and ends up in our bed by morning but we're working on it! After leaving him for two days, I've realized he's a total mama's boy. He's going to have a tough transition into daycare in September! Hopefully he'll learn to entertain himself before then.
Crazy week, sorry for the delay in posting about our 4th of July weekend in EDH. We had so much fun! We arrived Thursday afternoon and got all settled in to Nana and Poppy's. That night, we took Addie and Coen to Town Center to see fireworks. This year, we hung out in the kids' area where Addie spent a good amount of time in the bouncy house.
On the 4th, we did a little shopping (can't beat $1 flip flops!) and spent the afternoon swimming at Dorothy's house.
Saturday, we loaded up the kids and drove to San Francisco to check out the aquarium. Despite the awful traffic, it was well worth the trip just seeing how much Beckett loved the jellyfish!
Addie touched a stingray and Coen slept the whole time! Overall, a successful outing!
Sunday, we had more fun family time before heading back home Monday to start another busy week.
Coen was 7 weeks last Thursday. I can't believe it! He's getting so big and is going through a phase of staying awake nearly all day with just little catnaps. It makes it nearly impossible to do anything productive, but he does usually fall asleep in the bjorn when I take him shopping, so at least I have that to fall back on.
Coming up this month, 5 birthday parties – including Beckett's!!!, a wedding BBQ, and a trip to Pittsburgh to get Beckett's vision evaluated. Lots of exciting things to come this summer!


Among the most exotic coins available from Rosland are these 8th Century Half-Drachm silver coins from Tabaristan, on the southern coast of the Caspian Sea.
Tabaristan's wealth came from the Silk Road, which for thousands of years ran from China to the Mediterranean, supplying the West with porcelains, gems, spices and, of course, silk.
The coins in this hoard date from around 740 to 793 AD and include specimens struck under Haroun al-Rashid, the Caliph known to us from the stories of the 1001 Arabian Nights.
The obverse of these coins features the ruler, while the reverse shows two attendants alongside a fire altar, as the Isphabad dynasty of Tabaristan worshipped a god whose symbol was fire. These Half-Drachm coins are minted from near-pure silver and each weigh around 1.97 grams. They have been assessed, graded and encapsulated for protection by leading grading professionals NGC.
