A deputy headteacher killed his wife and slit his three sons' throats in their bedrooms, leaving a bloodied knife on a pillow before hanging himself, an inquest heard.
According to the report by Dailymail, Alan Hawe, his schoolteacher wife Clodagh and their three children Liam, 13, Niall, 11, and Ryan, six, were found dead in their home near Ballyjamesduff, Co Cavan, Ireland on the morning of August 29, 2016.
He may have targeted Clodagh and Liam first for fear they would fight back, leading pathologist Michael Curtis told the inquest.
During the hearing, Garda Aisling Walsh broke down and wiped away tears as she recalled the harrowing scene at Oakdene, Barconey.
Mrs Hawe was found lying face down in her pyjamas and dressing gown on the sitting room sofa. She had suffered severe head and neck injuries and there was a large pool of blood under the chair, the inquest was told.
A small axe and a knife with Alan Hawe's hand print was found beside the sofa, gardai told the hearing. Mr Hawe was found hanged in the hall.
The inquest was told two of the boys, Liam and Niall, were found in their beds in the upstairs room they shared. A knife was found in the bedroom.
Six-year-old Ryan was found alone in his bedroom and also had a duvet over him. Another knife was found on his pillow, the inquest heard.
During the inquest today, one of the country's leading pathologists said the school principal may have targeted his wife and eldest son first for fear they may try to stop him.
Amid audible shock in Cavan courthouse, Michael Curtis explained how Alan Hawe killed his family.
The deputy state pathologist was asked by coroner Mary Flanagan if his examinations offered any insight into who died first.
'It's impossible to say with certainty,' he said.
The deaths would have been rapid, Dr Curtis said.
As he outlined in graphic detail how Mrs Hawe and her three sons died, her mother Mary Coll and sister Jacqueline Connolly sobbed and shook as they were comforted by relatives in the front row of the public gallery.
The boys, who were found in their beds, suffered stab wounds.
Liam also had injuries to his left arm and hands while Niall had an injury to a finger on his right hand, the inquest was told.
Dr Curtis suggested these may also have been defensive.
The pathologist said there were similarities in how the three boys died, and it was difficult to conclude this was coincidental. A toxicology test showed Mr Hawe had no alcohol or drugs in his system at the time of his death.
He died by suicide and was found in the hall of the house.
A jury of six women and one man is hearing the inquest in Cavan courthouse.

A True Leader Takes the Role of True Michigan Director
At True Lacrosse, we take pride in employing the best directors and coaches in the country. By doing this, we are able to give our players elite guidance and training, which is why we are so excited to announce our new director of True Michigan, Justin Shipp. He has spent the last five years with True Michigan with four as the Kalamazoo regional director and two as the operations director for all of Michigan, which is only one of the reasons he makes a perfect candidate for this position.
To say Shipp has a passion for the game may be an understatement. He is head coach of Westen Michigan University men's lacrosse team that competes at the MCLA Dl level and is responsible for the creation of the South West Michigan Youth Lacrosse Conference. Shipp also once played lacrosse at WMU, and before being promoted to head coach at the university, Shipp coached lacrosse at both a youth and high school level.
Shipp is working to bring more opportunities and new ideas to True Michigan players and families while also improving things to make the overall program a better experience for all. He is already concentrating on offering more events to our True Michigan players with a second wave of tryouts coming in November for the Grand Rapids area and in December for the Detroit area. Those in the Grand Rapids area will get the chance to attend School of Lax very soon, along with Elite Academy training in both Grand Rapids and Detroit areas. And, be sure to mark your calendars for Nov. 7 because you won't want to miss the Mighty Ducks Tryouts for Box Lacrosse in Grand Rapids.
We couldn't be more excited for the new opportunities Director Shipp is bringing to our True Michigan players and families. As an organization, we work to bring the best to the best, and with promoting Justin to this role, we believe we've done just that.

Arctic Sea Ice Just Won't Play The Game
Harry Wilkinson, The Conservative Woman
Arctic sea ice is proving remarkably reluctant to enter its appointed 'death throes', despite the usual suspects having already planned the funeral. Climate Change Anxiety Disorder, it turns out, is yet to impose its angst on the actual climate, no matter how hard the BBC tries to make it.
The latest observations show that Arctic sea ice is on course to have a greater minimum extent than in 2015 and 2016, and is running higher than levels seen a decade ago. Back then, the BBC reported that Arctic summers may be ice-free by 2013, although this estimate was described as being 'too conservative'.
That prediction was spectacularly wrong, and contrary to warnings of an 'Arctic death spiral', sea ice extent has been remarkably stable in the last decade. No one can say what exactly will happen next; if this humbling affair teaches anything it should be precisely that.
The climate has misbehaved in other ways too. The Greenland Ice Sheet has been gaining mass at a record rate for the second year running, and Antarctic sea ice extent is perfectly normal relative to the 1981-2010 average. These facts get little coverage because they don't sound alarming at all, and for most reporters that means they're not news.
These 'inconvenient truths' are nonetheless a helpful reminder that climate change coverage should be taken with a healthy dose of scepticism. There is a long way to go before we can make accurate predictions about how the climate will behave, if indeed we ever can.
Climate science has to be more deeply grounded in real-world observations rather than models that are inevitably riddled with flawed human assumptions.

Frances Mahon Deaconess Hospital in Glasgow, Montana is a voluntary, nonprofit corporation designed to serve the people of Northeastern Montana and surrounding areas. A Board of Trustees, elected as representatives of Valley County, supervises its operations. Trustees set the policies of the hospital and serve without pay.
The chief purpose of FMDH is to provide the best patient care possible at the lowest possible cost. The hospital today reflects a refinement of that goal as the staff strives to meet the needs and realities of the community. The high-tech hospital we all enjoy today had very humble beginnings.
The first known hospital in the Glasgow area was established in 1889 when three boxcars were placed in formation of the letter 'H.' In the late 1800s the new Great Northern Railroad was responsible for many accidents and sickness. In order to cope with the situations, the railroad, in 1889, supplied the first hospital in Glasgow. This was made of three boxcars; one car was an office and sleeping room, the second a drug storage area and operating room and the third, a ward for patients. Ordinary camp cots served as hospital beds and ten traditional pot-bellied stoves heated the cars. Since there were no trained nurses, friends and family cared for the sick or injured. Often, women in the community would provide the needed help. From the very beginning, Glasgow residents felt the need for a hospital. Dr. Mark Hoyt came to Glasgow in 1891 to establish a general practice and to serve the Great Northern Railway as local surgeon.
In 1910, A.W. Mahon offered to donate an entire block of land for a hospital. Located in the southeast corner of Glasgow the land borders the Milk River and is across the street from Hoyt Park. The community accepted the gift and a stock company formed to raise funds for a $15,000 hospital. People readily responded. Frances Hoyt Mahon Memorial Hospital opened its doors on November 21, 1911. It was the most modern hospital in the state. The name honored Frances Hoyt Mahon, wife of A.W. Mahon and sister to Dr. Hoyt. She was born in 1872 and died in 1907 at age 35, three years before her husband donated the land. She also left money in her will to build a hospital in Glasgow. Dr. Hoyt and others added memorial gifts to the fund. The hospital was partly built, but then was standing without funds, and apparently hopelessly in debt.
The name of the hospital was changed to Frances Mahon Deaconess Hospital in 1914 when the Deaconess Hospital of Great Falls Montana finally offered to give the Glasgow hospital a three year lease. The lease offered assistance including equipment, financing, and caring for the new establishment. In the first four years, the hospital staff cared for over 1,400 cases. To contrast, in 2003 our staff cared for over 25,000 people.
The community of Glasgow has always worked to be ahead of the times in medical and hospital facilities. One such example is during the period of 1934-35 when the 60 bed modern three story, brick structure was conceived and constructed. The need for the new hospital was recognized as a result of the Fort Peck dam project. At that time the federal Public Works Administration provided a loan and grant for the new building. In 1936 Frances Mahon Deaconess Hospital cared for 2,036 patients. The building served the community well until August 26, 1968, when a new, 35-bed wing went into operation.
A new $365,000, 35 bed wing for accommodating additional patients at Frances Mahon Deaconess Hospital opened in August 1968. The hospital, now enlarged, was not only the finest but the first of its kind in northeast Montana. The hospital now offered 35 additional beds and also contained a new physical therapy department. It offered people with broken bones a start on the road back to faster recovery. Heart attack and stroke patients had access to the most modern equipment affordable. The hospital now could also offer two levels of care, acute and convalescent and a third level, intensive care was being planned for the near future.
In 1978, Trustees dedicated a newly constructed hospital that included a surgery suite, emergency room, 24 more hospital beds and an office area. A huge community effort called "Operation Update" was organized. The community fund drive raised over 2 million dollars, far exceeding their expectations, to build the new hospital. A proud local community took pride in their modern, most up-to-date facility in the region. The 1935 three story building was remodeled to accommodate doctor's offices and clinics. FMDH is thought of as a mini-medical center providing services only found in larger cities.
In 1988 a wing was added to Frances Mahon Deaconess Hospital for the Chemical Dependency Center. The center was formerly located at the Glasgow Air Force Base. The Chemical Dependency Center was relocated to downtown Glasgow in 1992 and the hospital space was remodeled for offices and support services of Frances Mahon Deaconess Hospital.
The Glasgow Clinic moved to the new clinic building in May 1998. The building eliminated the former separation if the Glasgow Clinic between the second and third floors of the Medical Arts Building (1935 building). The building has a spacious reception area, central nursing station, facility for outpatient surgery, and space for eight doctor's offices. The new clinic building is part of the hospital's mission to provide the best in family practice medicine to northeastern Montana. It allows more convenience to doctors and their patients in the hospital. The clinic building has additional space available for future clinics and department expansion. The 1935 building is used for doctors' clinics, visiting specialist clinics, and support services.
In 2017 Frances Mahon Deaconess Hospital began a renovation project throughout many of the departments, allowing for updated facilities and reconfiguration of space to maximize use.
With advancements in technology there have been many changes seen at Frances Mahon Deaconess Hospital in Glasgow since the days of the box cars in 1889. Northeast Montana can be very proud and confident in the medical services provided at Frances Mahon Deaconess Hospital. It is a progressive facility offering quality compassionate care to those they serve. At Frances Mahon Deaconess Hospital, it's about life. It's about You since 1889.

Stuck In Books: Harry Potter Spells Book Tag!
Val did this challenge in November and since she knows I adore tags, she tagged me! Now I'm finally doin' it, like forever and a half later. YAY!
1. An Upcoming release you wish you could get your hands on right now.
I love Molly, and I am seriously addicted to her books. I really need this book to find its way into my hands ASAP. I NEEEEEEEEED IIIIIIIIIIT.
I had no idea when I picked this book up that I'd end up going down the magnificent rabbit hole that is the Ghost Bird series. I love it so very much, it's my most recent obsession. I'm on the most recent book now, which means I'm just about caught up, which means I'm going to have to waaaaaaaiiiit. Can First Kiss just release, like, now?
3. A book that gave you all the warm fuzzies.
Just THINKING about this book (and Levi...mostly Levi) makes me feel all happy pants. I love it so much!
Significance by Shelly Crane could also fit here. I get the warm fuzzies for that one, too. All the time.
4. A Book that made you ugly cry.
5. Bookish hero or heroine you want around to protect you in real life.
6. A book you intentionally spoiled for yourself.
7. A book you wish you could make everyone read because you love it so much.
8. A book or series you wish never ended.
9. A book with an uplifting ending or message.
10. A book you wish you could forgot you ever read.
GET AWAY FROM ME. DON'T TALK TO ME. GET OUT OF MY FACE.
11. An author whose books always get you out of a slump.
Jennifer L. Armentrout, OF COURSE. She's my favorite. I love her books to the end of the earth. But I've also been so into Kristen Ashley lately (and by lately, I mean for at least the last year, so...) and she's definitely one of my top favorite authors, too. Without a doubt, I can pick up a book by either of these authors and fall in love.
12. A swoon-worthy hero or heroine.
This question so isn't fair. DO YOU EVEN KNOW HOW MANY SWOON-WORTHY HEROES I READ??? There's Daemon Black, Levi, Guy Chambers, Oren Tenning, Liam Stewart, Greyson King... and, of course, Ezra Zeller. So in loooooooove.
13. A book that caused you to stop doing all other things until you finished it.
I spent a good chunk of time (AT LEAST one entire weekend) just wrapped up in this book. I didn't rush through it because I wanted it to last, but I was 100% into THIS. I didn't do loads of other things. I just loved the crap out of this book.
14. A book that was painful to read (for whatever reason) or broke you.
I love this series, it's one of my all-time favorites. This book in particular is beautiful and fantastic, but dear goodness... it HURT so much.
15. A book that had you laughing out loud.
Dante is HILARIOUS. The entire trilogy is infused with humor that made me laugh so much. From the very first page of this book, Dante was making me giggle.
16. A book that made you want to send it (or your eReader) flying.
Telling you exactly WHY would be a spoiler, but if you've read this trilogy, I'm sure you can guess why. I read this book back in 2012 (I think? Maybe it was 2011?) and I am STILL so angry about this. I STILL rant about it. Uggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh.
17. Bookish world you wish you could visit.
I want to be in this group of friends. From this series and Bloodlines. I want to know Dimitri and Adrian and Eddie and I want an attractive guardian. That'd be so cool.
I want to be in the Strange Angels series, too. That's a groups of friends I want to be in on. OHMYGOSH and the Secret Circle!!! I want to be a member of the Circle!!!
18. A book with a shocking twist or ending.
19. A character death that destroyed you.
THIS BOOK FREAKING BROKE ME. I still can't even say much about it now because I get so upset. Like actual, seriously crying upset. I love Corrado Moretti beyond words.
This is my favorite series of all time, so it was a big deal reading this series ender. But Jennifer L. Armentrout did AMAZING. Things were wrapped up well, and there were references to things from earlier books that hit me right in the feels. I loved it so much and could not have asked for a better conclusion to this series that I love.
Very precise breakdown of each book, I read some of them and my favorite is Vampire Academy, not the movie but the book. Rose kept me on my toes😊 Merry Christmas!!!
I sense you're a fellow Darkest Minds lover :D I'm also a huge fan of the Lux series. This is a great tag!
Thanks for doing this meme! It looked like so much fun, I decided to do it, too!
You are the reason I read the Forever Evermore Series- so I am glad it made the list. Love this post!

Booker T & The MG's - Melting Pot quantity
Category: Uncategorised Tag: Vinyl
Melting Pot from Booker T and The M.G.'s marked a turning point for the influential instrumental group. Released in 1971, it was the final studio album to include the original lineup of the longtime Stax house band (Booker T. Jones on keyboards, Steve Cropper on guitar, Donald "Duck" Dunn on bass guitar, and Al Jackson Jr. on drums). Comprised entirely of original material, Melting Pot finds the four-piece digging deep into some expansive Memphis soul jams. All Analog mastering by Jeff Powell at Take Out Vinyl. 180-gram vinyl pressed at Memphis Record Pressing. Old-school tip-on jacket.

America as I Found it
By Mary Grey Lundie Duncan
ward and led forth an orphan, till all the nine found parents; and, with the exception of one unsettled character whose act was that of fleeting emotion, and not of Christian resolution, and who in a short time returned the chosen child to its friends, no one failed of their engagements. Nor did the Father of mercies fail of His ; they turned out excellent citizens, who served their country, or who became the mothers of those who serve it now; and nearlymay I not say all-came forth in life as real Christians, the petitions which their parents left behind being answered when they had passed by their stormy deaths to the world of eternal peace. And that rejected and returned one was, if I remember right, the very one afterwards chosen by General Lafayette, .carried to France, and furnished with the most complete and accomplished education which Parisian skill could offer to sound ability. He returned to do his country signal services in the walks of literature, piety, and philanthropy.
Two of this group of early mourners still survive, one of whom holds an honourable place in the General Post-office at Washington. And it was a Caldwell of the third generation that did me the great kindness to introduce me to President Fillmore.
No plan of charity, when performed in a right spirit, seems more calculated to do good, and to receive a blessing, than this. It is a feeble imitation of the manner of the Father of us all; for we, fallen beings, are aliens and parentless, until, through atoning mercy and converting grace, we become the adopted children of our God, and then we are partakers of his love, and heirs of the heavenly inheritance.
Doubtless, amid the many, some of the kind purposes are frustrated some of the parents tire, as in the case of the little Caldwell—and some of the children disappoint and wound, but these cases are the exceptions.
I have seen the parties dwelling harmoniously and helpfully together; and I have seen the adopted, in the old age of the adopter, exercising all the tender cherishing that filial piety could devise. There is a beauty in the pleasing sympathies thus exercised, for there is a blessing on them from on high.
COLLEGIATE SCHOOLS.
Though the engagements of past years led me more to concern myself with the education of the working classes, and the friendless, it was impossible to dwell among the cultivated and refined, without being desirous of learning somewhat of the plan by which they had been educated.
Most of the Female Institutes seem to be under the guidance of men, or of a man and his wife, when it is understood that most of the solid parts of instruction are conducted by the head of the house. This is a plan not followed in England; and in various cases, when a husband happens to be in existence, he is generally felt to be an incumbrance to the household, rather than an assistant. Professors who, it is presumed, are well qualified to teach the one object of their pursuit, attend at stated hours with us. But, judging by advertisements, it would seem that husband and wife teach and manage in unison all over the United States. It is customary to deliver lectures on astronomy, botany, chemistry, &c., to the pupils in both countries, and
it is possible that some expansion of mind is thus obtained, even when no real thirst for knowledge induces the pupils to follow up the subjects by private study.
In some of the Female Institutes in America, a plan is pursued which, with the exception of the Normal School students, has not yet been adopted in Britain, within my knowledge. The students "graduate" after strict examination on various branches of education—a useful and important mark of a certain degree of attainment, the absence of which is often felt with us on occasion of selecting teachers. The graduating is by no means a nominal or slight affair, but is accomplished only on the candidate being able to meet a searching inquiry into her attainments.
Nevertheless, as it happens at home, persons whose previous education and habits have not been calculated to fit them for the office, and whose chief qualification is present misfortune, frequently assume the office of instructors. In consequence, it at times occurs that the benevolence of parents interferes with their judgment in the choice of a school; and sometimes a dash of romance or pathos, or elegance of manner, carries the day against substantial attainments and conscientious industrious instruction. One learns in every country to defide "picturesquish" programmes, and to fear the solid instruction of strings of young ladies who are carried about to fashionable lectures and evening concerts.
To have judged by the unsteady attendance at school, and the little solicitude observable among the young people about preparing for their classes, to say nothing of the wilful speeches, such as, " Mamma, I don't feel like studying French any more;" or, "Ma, I am going to drop mathematics, they are so tiresome;" one would suppose there are many imperfectly educated women. But meet them grown up, engaged in the useful pursuits of life, and you will find well-informed, cultivated, refined minds, strong in their sense of right and pursuit of duty. Ask them of their early years, and you will find they were nearly as idle as their children seem to be, and then you must draw the conclusion that their wilfulness is only seeming or vanquished while it is yet time, and that they acquire as much amid their springy, vivid ways, as we do in our more sedate and careful fashion.
The means of education extend continually with the need of it. Yet as food, shelter, and clothing form the most imperative necessaries of life, each new settlement must first secure these, leaving the mental and spiritual supplies to lag behind, and overtake these as they best may. Taking pity on the uninstructed condition of the settlers around them, some young gentlemen have begun to give an hour or two of evening teaching to their young neighbours. Some have employed themselves during the winter months in that benevolent exercise. Some have collected Sabbath-schools, and in a few


This year we are keeping things pretty straight forward as far as classes go. Madison is taking Prealebra 2, and then Intro to Algebra A, Critical Reading and Writing, Biology, World Geography, and Philosophy. She is also continuing Wordly Wise Book 8.
So far this year has been busy, but great. She is currently getting A's in all of her classes.
Madison was excited to get her Invisalign and has been doing a great job wearing her trays.
Raising Madison has been a trip. She's a trip. There's no other way to explain it really.
In a nutshell, I had no idea what I was getting myself into when I agreed to homeschool her. I had no idea what she could accomplish was even possible and I second guessed myself a lot along the way. I stayed up at night worrying and even woke up in sweats from fear of making the wrong choice.
Faith. Having faith is what got us to where we are today. Faith in Madison and in myself. It was actually easier to have faith in her than it was to have it in myself.
I chose the picture of her on her first day of Second grade. This was our first year of homeschooling. She hated public school. I will always regret making her go. She went for two years and begged and cried all through First grade begging me to homeschool her. We had her tested and advocated to no avail, so I agreed. She joined Mensa at the age of 6 in hopes of finding connections and for me to find support. I did a lot of research and found really good groups online to help.
I started this blog to document our journey and I am SO glad I did. When we started out I told her that she could go as slow as she wanted and could have a ton of free time or as fast as she wanted. She chose fast. She hasn't deviated from that at all.
I learned very quickly that Madison only has to learn something once and she's got it. She doesn't need to review. Unless it's Math. That's a different story. That was a hard concept for me to grasp. That it was possible for someone to be able to do that.
I was questioned pretty hard by my family when we made this choice, so at the end of Second grade, I tested her with the Iowa Basic Skills Test for Second grade. That was a joke, she maxed the entire thing out. So, at the beginning of Third grade I gave her the Fourth grade Iowa. Again, maxed it out. I waited until the end of Fourth grade and gave her the Seventh grade Iowa. She didn't max it out, but she passed with flying colors. At that point I decided we were good and I didn't need to test her again and I haven't. Family was appeased. I was freaked out.
We utilized advance curriculum for awhile and did all the hands on homeschooling events we could. The science museum, orchestra, art museum, etc. She had a blast, but they got repetitive after awhile. During this time, I really had to learn to trust her. I would have to ask her what she already knew, because she didn't want to waste time relearning it. It was a very scary time for me. I just had to pray I was doing the right thing. During this time I also let her choose what she wanted to learn.
Our paths connected with a group of people who who had PG children (profundity gifted.) They spoke of the Davidson Young Scholar Program and how much support it provided. I had just had Madison retested through our psychologist for a neurological evaluation and she qualified for this program, but I was intimidated for applying for some reason. I was already overwhelmed and it seemed like extra work, but with encouragement, I did. Thank God I did.
When Madison was accepted, the doors started opening. It was like the clouds parted for the sun to shine through.
I knew that there would be a point when I could no longer teach Madison. Ha! That statement isn't really true, let me rephrase that. I knew there would come a time when Madison wouldn't be able to solely teach herself. 😉 I was waiting to sign her up for online courses until that time, because they were expensive.
It works so much better for us when she has a teacher and a classroom, even if it's online. I'm not a teacher, I never was, and I never will be. LOL. I'm ok with that. I am a facilitator for Madison's education. That's always been my role and will continue to be.
She wants to go to college when she's 12. That's been her goal from day one. We have her enrolled in the Duke Tip 7th grade talent program and she's scheduled to take the ACT next year. We did a practice test without prep and she did very well.
Her goal is to start dual credit classes online through the community college. That's her goal. So, if she can pass the ACT so I have some scores to take to them that either they'll accept or will convince them to let her take the TSI then I think we have a path laid out. She's a pro at online classes already. She sets the goals and I do the advocating and try to figure out how to make them work. The age requirement for dual credit classes is 14. Thus, the need to advocate.
I can't think about it too much or it blows my mind and I stress out and worry. She's always been the one telling me that it's ok.
Now, as far as childhood is concerned. I have heard more times than not, just let them be a kid. Well, I have learned along the way that there are different definitions of that. I am doing what makes Madison happy. Her path isn't robbing her of being a kid. If I made her do what society defines as being a kid, she'd be miserable. We tried not doing much academically. "Taking a break." It's just not who she is.
And my definition of what a childhood is is not hers. So when I mourn the 'loss' of her not being a kid, I'm just mourning something she doesn't fit into. That's not something to mourn. It's something to embrace and be proud of, because it's who she is and it's what makes her happy. And don't get me wrong, that kid still can't go outside with getting muddy from head to toe, every.single.time. She's definitely a kid. But she also enjoys putting together complex LEGO kits while listening to audio books in her free time or writing books. She's totally self driven and it's almost impossible to make her do anything she doesn't want to do.
I don't have a handbook. There isn't one for kids like this. All I have is the wisdom of those that have gone down this path before me and the peers that I learn from everyday that are figuring out the same path. I take their experience and keep it close to my heart. We are making it up as we go. And we are finally at the point where her goals that she set from the beginning are in sight.
This article made me feel much better.
When you have a child like this you have to trust them. Figure out how to provide what they need to accomplish their goals. Always follow their lead. And don't think about it too much. Just understand it's your reality and accept it. Even if it freaks you out. ❤ Love then for who they are and support them 100%. Listen to them.
When we started Third grade, Madison refused to hold a First Day of School sign that had a grade. 😉 Maybe she will in 2019-2020. LOl.
I hope everyone is having a wonderful summer! We are winding ours down and gearing up for the new school year.
Madison kicked her summer off with attending a YMCA camp on the lake. She enjoyed horseback riding, boating/tubing, the B.B. range, field games, and swimming. She came home dirty and tired each day. It was great!
Madison had her Speech Tournament and came in First Place for Junior Persuasive. We were very proud of the effort she put into her speech and competing. She won a $250 scholarship for college by taking first place!
She also enjoyed STARS camp and Summit. It was definitely worth the trip. Madison was able to meet her teachers in person, her classmates, and made new friends. ❤❤❤ I cannot even explain how much of a difference this camp and weekend had on her life.
She met her chess coach in person again. He is a wonderful mentor to her.
She was thrilled to meet her favorite teacher, Dr. Kirsten Stein, in person. Madison takes classes at Athena's Advanced Academy, and Dr. Kirsten is a phenomenal teacher. Madison is taking Philosophy and World Geography this Fall. Her class is filled, but if they get enough students the second class will be a go.
Madison also got to meet Jim Weiss again this year. He is inspirational and she loves listening to his stories.
During Summit Madison was able to meet her teachers and classmates for her Fall online Davidson Academy classes.
Madison has kept busy this summer with planting plants into pots and taking care of them, playing chess, and continuing school.
She is taking Pre-Algebra 1 through Art of Problem Solving, attending SQUILT live, and completed The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Elijah of Buxton, Microbiology and Cell Theory, and Genetics and DNA.
She is currently working on Human Body Systems and ACT prep. Madison took a practice ACT test at home and did pretty well, so she is going to prep for it and take it this upcoming school year. Her goal was to take it when she was 12, but she's ahead of schedule so….
My next post will be about raising a radically accelerated academic child.
Madison really enjoyed dissecting an earthworm and then looking at its organs under a microscope.
Madison has been pretty busy, but is always reading. This summer she has read Lad: A Dog , King Arthur: Tales from the Round Table (Dover Children's Evergreen Classics) , and she is currently reading Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea (Penguin Clothbound Classics) .
We had some very sad moments this summer. Suzanne Nasser, the Director and Founder of DFW Speech and Debate passed away suddenly on June 28th. She was Madison's mentor and was her nominator for Davidson Young Scholar program. We are still in shock and are very saddened. Jeff and Madison attended her memorial service and said it was beautiful. Suzanne was an amazing person who not only homeschooled her own children who her legacy will live on through, but she impacted thousands of other lives. Suzanne, we miss you and we will never forget you.
Last week we had to say goodbye to our 15 year old cat Sebastian. That is never easy, but we know he is happy now and no longer in pain.
We are looking forward to cooler weather and the normal routine of classes and activities to start!

Madison wrapped up her Spring Semester by completing Intro to Latin, Philosophy, Political Systems, and Wordly Wise Book 7. She also finished her year long Introduction to Composition, which was an accredited course with an A. She will wrap of her Speech club with a tournament at the beginning of June as well.
Language Arts: Huckleberry Finn, Elijah of BuxtonElijah of Buxton, and British Poetry.
Science: Microbiology and Cell Theory, Genetics and DNA, and Human Body Systems.
She will have time off in the summer for traveling and camps. Madison is super excited to attend STARS and Summit!
Over the summer we will also cook with Madison's Raddish Kids Cooking Kits. She loves the way the grocery list and instructions are laid out as well as the patch and the cooking tool that come in each kit! I like the homeschool curriculum that comes in a email each month for the box that is sent. If you would like to save $10 on a 6 or 12 month subscription please use the code RTKCS9.
The Tinkercrate is another monthly subscription that Madison loves and she will continue to work on her latest Lego set endeavor LEGO Creator Expert Carousel 10257 Building Kit (2670 Piece).
Madison's also looking forward to competing in chess tournaments. She was 73 on the US Chess Top 100 list for girls age 10 in February and she's moved up to 51 on the May list.
I am still in the process of finalizing her summer book list and will post that in a separate post. As of right now, she is still reading Brian Jacques Redwall Series Set (Book 1-20): Redwall; Mossflower; Mattimeo; Mariel of Redwall; Salamandastron; Martin the Warrior; Bellmaker; Outcast of Redwall; Pearls of Lutra; Long Patrol; Marlfox; Legend of Luke; Lord Brocktree; Taggerung; Triss.
As for Fall curriculum, Madison is going to take Prealebra 2, and Intro to Algebra A, Critical Reading and Writing, Biology, World Geography, and Philosophy. She will continue with piano lessons, SQUILT, and chess too.
At the beginning of April, we took a quick weekend trip to College Station, TX to attend Physics Fest at Texas A&M. We pass through Waco, TX on our way so I decided we'd stop and visit things we have had on our bucket list on the way there and the way home.
We drove down on Friday so we decided to stop and visit Magnolia Market at the Silos on the way. This is a market that was built by Chip and Joanna Gaines from the show Fixer Upper. There was a line to the bakery the entire time we visited and the market was rather crowded. It was nice out on the lawn area with the food trucks and they had live music.
They also have a really nice garden area.
It was a very nice place to visit and I'm glad we stopped.
We had a wonderful dinner at the Messina Hof Winery right outside of College Station in Byran, TX. It was fabulous!
On the way home we stopped again in Waco, TX to visit the Waco Mammoth National Monument. This is a must see in my opnion. They have guided tours that take you through the actual dig site.
Here is a life size picture of a mammoth so you can see the actual comparison to the size of it to yourself. Amazing!
We love Junior Ranger Badges and this was a fun one for Madison to get.
After Madison completed her Junior Ranger Badge, her and her sister sifted and identified ancient ocean fossils.
You get to keep what you find!
This was definitely a fun trip and we made the most of our weekend getaway! Nothing can replace the value of hands on learning and I am very grateful we have are able to embrace these moments!

We began using ALEKS in October and it is working very well for Madison. This is the first Math curriculum that we have used that hasn't been frustrating for her or has caused tears. She took the 5th grade math pre-test and started out just a bit over mastering 50% of the course and finished by mid November. Then she took the 6th grade pre-test and again scored around 50% mastery and she is just now finishing that grade up. As soon as she completes 6th grade we will move on to 7th in the same fashion. They do offer a free trial so if you wanted to check it out, you can without a charge first.
The Introduction to Composition class Madison is taking through YS Middle School Online is a year long course. She absolutely loves it. I cannot say enough wonderful things about interaction with the teacher, the students and how far she has come with her writing. We signed up for the next level class for next year.
Madison is on Lesson 16 of the Wordly Wise 3000 Book 7. She uses the online version.
We are now using Study.com for our Science and Social Studies. Madison was moving at a lightening speed with Acellus and she was finding errors. When I compared what was covered for the same subjects, there was an astounding difference. I signed up for the study.com free trial and Madison couldn't pass the final exams for the same subjects she had just completed with Acellus. She felt somewhat defeated, but I am glad we figured this out now and not later. So, with that said….
Madison is taking Middle School Life Science and Middle School Physics. She is also taking Middle School Geography. The cool part about the courses that Study.com offers is that if they take the end of year exam, it will show you when you start the course what they need to learn and they do not need to do the lessons with the information they already know. Madison is also currently doing the Ancient Asia Moving Beyond the Page unit and then she will do the Single Shard unit.
Madison learns best through videos, but she also likes to dig deeper with hands on projects as well. So, we are doing the study.com lessons and then when those are complete (or close to complete) we are going to start on her Moving Beyond the Page units.
That pretty much covers the "core" subjects. Madison is taking a couple of other online classes.
Introduction to Latin through Gifted Homeschoolers Forum is a huge hit with Madison. She picked this class out and she is really enjoying it. She is also taking Philosophy for Questioning Minds through Athena's Advanced Academy and it is amazing. Madison is also going to begin The Electoral Process and Political Systems in March. Madison also does keyboarding with Touch-Type Read and Spell and vision training with Dyslexia Gold daily. Once a week she attends Homeschool PE and twice a month she has an online music appreciation class through Squilt.
This semester Madison is participating in the DFW Speech Club. She has written and memorized a Persuasive speech and an Open Interpretation speech to compete in tournaments with and is also prepping to compete in the Impromptu and Constitutional Literacy categories as well. She goes to her club meeting once a week and will participate in tournaments in March and June. Next year she will be in the club all year versus just one semester.
Another one of Madison's favorite things to do is to learn and play chess. She does this many different ways. Madison is part of a local chess team and they participate in scholastic tournaments. They took Second Place in a tournament in January. They also take weekly online chess lessons from Chris Toolin. Madison also tries to participate in weekly local tournaments at North Texas Chess Academy when it works in our schedule. She takes weekly lessons from a Grandmaster through the Davidson Young Scholar Program. Madison also enjoys being a part of the Online Homeschool Chess Club. Madison also made the Top 100 Girls Age 10 US Chess Federation List.
Madison also attends Catechism class at church weekly and takes weekly piano lessons. She just moved up a level and is excited for the challenge of new books!
We decided to drop her co-op this semester. Loosing a day was making it hard for her to do all of her extra classes she signed up for this Spring and for her to have the down time she needs to be creative. We are continuing her Tinker Crate kits and she loves those as well as the Raddish cooking kits. The Raddish kits come with an email that includes a homeschool curriculum. It is a great value! Madison enjoys writing her penpal and participating in our local Mensa Youth activities when our schedule allows. She was able to fly a plane again and today she did an Escape Room event that was a lot of fun.
Madison loves to create and so she has made some interesting things in her free time. The most recent has been a woman made out of mud and has a two-toned leaf dress and the other is re-purposing Amazon boxes.
Madison is also in the process of tumbling her rocks to make into jewelry. It takes 4 stages and about a month of tumbling for each batch.
I haven't been able to keep a booklist for all of the books she has read, but recently she finished the The Wrinkle in Time Quintet Boxed Set (A Wrinkle in Time, A Wind in the Door, A Swiftly Tilting Planet, Many Waters, An Acceptable Time) and now she is reading the Redwall series.
They stopped to take pictures along the National Mall.
After we checked out of our hotel we headed to the Library of Congress.
Before heading to the airport was none other than Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum. We purchased tickets using our Explorer pass. Maybe I just like wax museums, but I thought this was a lot of fun. Some were much better than others, but being able to get up close and pose and have outfits to put on made it a lot more fun than just walking through and looking at them. I apologize in advance for the abundance of pictures. Madison really got into each scene so it cracked me up! I think she enjoyed this as much as I did!
They have a bus seat after her wax figure that you can sit down in. When you do a light above you starts flashing and a voice of a bus driver comes on over a loud speaker telling you to move. Then it tells you to get off the bus. You hear sirens…it was surreal. An excellent part of the exhibit that really brings it to life.
That sums up our trip to Washington D.C.! We had a blast and cannot wait to go back and do everything we didn't get a chance to do!

Q: Two appearances of the Jacobi Triple Product identity So far, I've seen two ways of deriving the Jacobi Triple Product (JTP) formula $$\sum_{m \in \mathbb{Z}} (-u)^m q^{\frac{m(m-1)}{2}}= \prod_{j=0}^{\infty} (1-uq^{j})(1-q^{j+1})(1-u^{-1} q^{j+1})$$ using infinite-dimensional representation theory.  On the one hand, it is the Weyl-Kac denominator formula for $\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}_2}$.  On the other hand, it is the character $$\text{Tr}(q^{L_0} u^{\alpha_0})$$ computed in two ways using the boson-fermion correspondence.  Here $$\alpha_0 = \sum_{i \in \mathbb{Z}'} : \psi_i \psi_i^* :$$ is the zero mode of the Heisenberg algebra which computes the charge of the Dirac sea of free fermions, and $$L_0 = \sum_{i \in \mathbb{Z}'} i : \psi_i \psi_i^* :$$ is the energy operator for a particular representation of the Virasoro algebra on this semi-infinite wedge space.

*

*Is there a structural relationship between these two appearances of JTP?

ABSTRACT. Recent factors of climate change. In the past two years, the oceanologists theorized that the north side of the Ocean Conveyor Belt is rapidly changing producing significant effects. These changes include slowing down the speed and the flow of the Gulfstream. The solar physicists had observed a rapid decrease of the solar spots and flares, which are changing our climate. Climatologists had discovered that, due to certain reasons, the water cycle is intensifying almost all over the world, mostly in Greenland. The experts believe that this combination of factors has the capacity to produce rapid or abrupt climate changes in the next decade or even sooner. The main issue addressed to science community and research is this: In what degree, the weakening of Gulfstream would favorite a cooling climate in Northern Europe and Canada, by decreasing the heat changes between water and air in the nearby Greenland region and how much this could amplified by a less active sun. The intensifying of the water cycle will strength, mask or slowdown these climate tendencies? What would be their impact in Romania region? How long could last a possible future local or global cooling and how would this threatening the agriculture?

part of that.

Also I have to stop to mock all my friends around me with glasses.
Calling them old people may not be so good thinking since i am one

Jean-Luc Nancy: Anastasis of Thinking
10 January 2022 by helena
Our friends, Philosophy World Democray (PWD), are holding a conference, between 22 and the 24 January 2022, around Jean-Luc Nancy's body of work at the Pompidou Center (Paris), the Ecole Normale Supérieure (Paris) and online.
"Nancy was never distant from the central concerns of philosophy—time, being, spanne, the negative, form, categories—and from philosophy itself even when it was in fashion to be non-philosophers. While being at a remove from the centre of the inventive era of philosophy in Paris by withdrawing into the distant of Strasbourg, Nancy was revealed to be the very heart of that era. He drew out the sense of the philosophical corpus of Descartes, Kant, the German Romantics, Hegel, Husserl, and Heidegger, and also that of his contemporaries — Derrida, Lyotard, Lacan, Deleuze."
Divya Dwivedi, Jérôme Lèbre, Shaj Mohan, Maël Montévil et François Warin are organising this event.

WATCH: Rohit Sharma takes a one-handed stunner to dismiss Mominul Haque in Day-Night Test
Posted On / November 22, 2019 / by Anirudh Singh
Rohit Sharma took a stunner at the second slip to bring fans on the edge of their seats at the Eden Gardens on Friday.
In the 11th over of the historic Day-Night Test in India, Bangladesh skipper Mominul Haque edged a Umesh Yadav delivery that went flying towards the Indian captain Virat Kohli at first slip.
But, an alert Rohit Sharma dived to his right in front of the skipper to pluck it out one-handed. With this screamer, Rohit not only left the Kolkata crowd surprised but also earned praise from his teammates.
Relive the moment here:
HITMAN DOES IT THE SUPERMAN WAY! 😍🙌@ImRo45 takes a stunner at slips to end Mominul's stay.

Earlier, Mominul Haque won the toss and elected to bat first in front of a sell-out crowd.
"The wicket is dry and hard, so that's why we want to bat first," Mominul said at the toss.
"It's a brave decision we feel. It's a great opportunity for everyone."
India made no changes in their team that won the first Test in Indore.
"We would have batted first as well. Decent grass cover on it, but it's a hard pitch," Kohli said at the toss.
"With the pink ball there will be something for the first 15 overs. This is another opportunity for us to come and execute our skills.
"The challenge is to adapt quickly to the ball. It travels fast and it's difficult to control. We are fulfilling the responsibility of debuting with the pink ball."
India leads the two-match Test series 1-0.

I would like to buy a second property - how would I go about it?
A: The first question you need to ask yourself is: is this second home for your own use or are you planning to lease it to tenants full or part-time as this can affect the type of mortgage and property insurance you can get?
If for instance, you plan to use this second home solely for yourself, you will be able to follow one of two options. For example, if you have got enough equity in your first property, you can release this money and use it to remortgage. However, if this is not the case, you will need to prove to your lender that you are able to afford the mortgage payments on this new property.
Another option available to you is buy to let. By leasing your second property to tenants they can cover the entire cost of your mortgage payments for you.
The incredible thing about buy to let is that your mortgage is based solely on your properties ability to produce 125% of its mortgage payments through rents. This means if you can prove to your lender that your property can do this, you can potentially invest in a bigger and better property.

Arbutus Grocery
plaque text
media & photos
"Arbutus is one of the many tree-named streets in the neighbourhood of Kitsilano, a former hippie enclave that still boasts a beach, yoga studios on just about every block, health-food stores and the Naam, a café that's been serving up brown rice with vegetable curries around the clock for 40 years. Much of the neighhourhood has gone upscale... but one place that seems apart from time is Arbutus Coffee, housed in a 1907 grocery store on Arbutus Street, up the hill from where Alice Munro lived as a newly-wed." - Laura Robin, Ottawa Citizen
The former Arbutus Grocery is the focus of Kitsilano's historic Delamont Park neighbourhood. In the 1960s, the city bought it and houses on 5th and 6th for demolition along the proposed route of the Burrard-Arbutus Connector (an arterial roadway planned for the old interurban right-of-way that did not proceed). A simple gabled wooden building with a square "boom-town front," the grocery store was built in 1907 by Thomas Frazer, who had lived next door since 1901.
The Arbutus Grocery
This grocery store turned coffee shop was built by Thomas Frazer in 1907 at 2200 Arbutus Street and was originally called the Eureka Confectionery. Frazer, one of the first settlers in the area, lived in a bungalow next door which he had built in 1901. The building is the oldest remaining grocery storefront in Vancouver and is listed as an 'A' category building on the Vancouver Heritage Register. It features an old-style western 'boomtown' front, a style developed in the California Gold Rush of 1849 era, when frontier merchants wanted to make their modest stores appear more imposing. (See also, the Scarlett Apartment Building from 1910 across the street, as well as Western Front Society.)
Kitsilano's Historic Delamont
Arbutus Coffee is the most identifiable landmark of Kitsilano's historic Delamont Park, a micro-neighbourhood (named for Arthur Delamont, the founder of the Kitsilano Boy Band) containing what is now the oldest predominantly intact group of houses in eastern Kitsilano, the earliest of which were built in 1900-1901. Many of the homes retain original woodwork, bathtubs and design elements and 15 have been evaluated with Statements of Significance as having substantial heritage merit, both individually and as a grouping. This residential area emerged at the turn of the twentieth century, and development was stimulated by the opening of the 1905 B.C. Electric Railway interurban to Steveston.
Decades of Community Protection
In the 1930s, city planners identified the area as an ideal route for a highway connector from Broadway to Burrard. The plans were put on hold after backlash from residents upset with the proposed home demolitions and the disruption of their neighbourhood. By the late-1960s, eastern Kitsilano was aging, and many older homes were rented cheaply to groups of young people – including many artists drawn by low rents and Kitsilano's then thriving hippie culture (whose unofficial crossroads was at nearby 4th and Arbutus). Meanwhile, the area had been rezoned, leading to the development of modern low-rise apartment buildings in the surrounding blocks. Around that time, the city began purchasing houses in Delamont with the intention of renewing their plan to build a highway connector. After their efforts were yet again blocked by citizen-led protests, they considered transforming the community into a park. They succeeded in developing a few lots into Delamont Park, but most of the century-old houses were spared.
"The City had purchased the houses in Delamont with the intention of demolishing them, but the failure to build the Burrard-Arbutus connector or to construct the larger Delamont Park ironically eventually led to their conservation as the oldest group of buildings in Kitsilano," writes Bruce Macdonald, an expert on Delamont's history. Macdonald says this mirrors the Mole Hill story – when the city acquired a block of West End houses to expand Nelson Park, but a backlash led to the homes being protected and rehabilitated instead. Macdonald said that Delamont's involvement in community backlashes against "top-down city hall policies" played a historic role in the development of community planning in Canada. "Delamont and Strathcona's 1969 citizen uprising against proposed demolition of whole city blocks of their homes for the construction of freeways caused the cancellation of nationwide funding for such projects."
On August 19, 2012, we celebrated Arbutus Grocery (now Arbutus Coffee) history with a 1950s theme. See facebook album.

Arthur Delamont (who gave his name to the neighbourhood and park) was one of Kitsilano's most celebrated residents. He formed the Kitsilano Boys Band in 1928 and was its sole conductor for 54 years until his death in 1982 at age 90. The band won over 200 awards in competitions around the world.

I have great memories about this place as when I first moved back to Vancouver it was the first real coffee shop I went to. Whenever I go back to the place I still have the same memories I did so long ago. The style of the building is also very nice. It feels like a genuine coffee house like something a traveler would go to back in the 1950s. The atmosphere of the place is also quite homey and welcoming. The people that work there are always so friendly and there is always an open table to sit on. Overall the entire place has many memories and really resonates with me and I can't wait to visit it again.

From Amazon: How did Indira Gandhi reach the pinnacle of Indian politics? Did India move away from freedom under her leadership? What kind of woman was she? Indira Gandhi made unorthodox use of power and possessed a highly individual style of functioning. In this book, Nayantara Sahgal persuasively argues that authoritarianism was the inevitable outcome of Indira's personality and temperament. Her leadership marked a drastic break with the democratic tradition of her family and Indian politics. During her regime, the political landscape of India underwent profound changes. The Emergency of 1975 77 was used to promote her son Sanjay as her ultimate successor. The entry of her elder son, Rajiv, into politics after Sanjay s death, and his immediate political prominence showcased Indira s essential belief in her family s right to rule. Nayantara Sahgal's personal knowledge of her cousin, in combination with her unparalleled access to letters exchanged within the Nehru family, makes for a striking and insightful analysis of Indira s tryst with political power and an unusually penetrating psychological and political portrait from an intimate family viewpoint.

Okay, Ed Sheeran and Cherry Seaborn Definitely Got Married
If you thought there *might* still be a chance that you and Ed Sheeran could end up together, I have some devastating news: Ed has just confirmed that he's a married man. Rumors about the soulful softboy's relationship with longterm girlfriend, Cherry Seaborn, have been floating around for months now, but the release of Ed's new album No.6 Collaborations Project just outright confirmed it.
FYI, Ed's new album has guest appearances from just about everybody big in pop music RN. To name a few: Justin Bieber, Camila Cabello, Cardi B, Bruno Mars, and Travis Scott (I seriously would love to stalk Ed's phone contact list). However, it's in his song with Eminiem and 50 Cent, "Remember the Name," where Ed hits us with the lyrics, "Watch how the lyrics in this song might get twisted / My wife wears red but looks better without the lipstick." Excuse me, did he just say WIFE?!
(Side note: will we ever get a Subtract album? No?)
In an interview with Charlamagne Tha God, Ed confirmed that yes, yes he did. "It was actually before me and Cherry got married, and I knew that we'd be married by the point that the song came out," Ed says, discussing the songwriting process. "I was like 'cause someone's going to hear that and be like 'Oh they're married,' and I didn't know how that would be. But, obviously, it's already come out." THE RUMORS WERE TRUE, PEOPLE.
No.6 Collaborations Project is full of plenty more shout-outs to his wifey, like in the song "Cross Me," featuring Chance The Rapper and PnB Rock (I wasn't kidding when I said that basically everyone is in this album). Lyrics include "But you know I fuckin' love her now / Like nobody ever could." Awww….?
With the cat officially out of the bag, I'm just hoping that the news will lead to some adorable wedding photos being released. Fingers crossed.

Popcorn (1991) [Collector's Edition Blu-ray]
Popcorn (1991)
Studio: Synapse Films
Release date: March 7th 2017
Why horror? What is it about this particular genre that inspires such fervent devotees? Why have hundreds upon hundreds of horror sites popped up on the internet over the years? I'm not even sure I have a clear answer even though a good chunk of my identity is defined by this particular fandom, but I do think there's something to be said for how goddamn rad horror is. From the moment we start watching this stuff—most of us at way too early of an age, I'm guessing—we just know there's something cool about it: the monsters, the effects, the gore. Basically, horror is at its best when it's fun, and that explains the communal aspect of this fan base—deep down, we like to celebrate and revel in this stuff.
Few films understand this more than Popcorn, a 1991 slasher looking to fill looming void left by the 80s stalwarts. But in doing so, the film didn't look to the immediate, slasher-filled past but instead peered even further back to the days William Castle thrilled and chilled audiences with monster movies bolstered by tremendous gimmicks. Even the most average matinee could be transformed into one hell of an experience, and that's exactly the spirit Popcorn attempts to recapture: what you see unfold before you is essentially leftovers of the slasher genre, only they've been reheated in the clever context of a horror movie that's in love with horror movies. Certainly, it would not be the first—and definitely not the last—to take such an approach, but it offers proof that even the most mundane, overdone genre can come alive within an infectious atmosphere.
In this case, it's within the context of one of the most sacred horror experiences: the all-night movie marathon shared amongst fellow freaks and geeks. Within this film, said marathon is the last ditch effort of a fledgling college film department to raise funds. Not content to simply stage any old festival, they've gone to great lengths to restore a classic theater and outfit it with classic movie memorabilia. What's more, they've even secured the old gimmick props that once really brought their triple feature to life: a giant mosquito, electric shocks, and an "odorama" gimmick. For all intents and purposes, the audience will be transported back to the heyday of these faux-Castle productions.
Unfortunately, the film students aren't the only ones looking to recreate the past. One of the most ambitious of the bunch, Maggie Butler (Jill Schoelen) is haunted by a recurring nightmare that she's convinced will simply serve as inspiration for her next screenplay. However, when the images from her mind intersect with footage from a lost film the kids uncover, it becomes clear that something much more sinister is at work. While the lost film's director, Lanyard Gates, supposedly perished shortly after its only screening, the rediscovery as seemingly conjured him from beyond the grave to wreck the festivities. Shortly a mysterious patron arrives at the box office, a maniac begins stalking the students behind the scenes as the manic, enthralled crowd watches the screen, oblivious to the horrors unfolding around them.
And it's fucking awesome. You know the opening scene in Scream 2, where the crowd of hooting, hollering maniacs in the crowd howl as a girl dies right before their eyes? Popcorn is sort of like that, only it's for about 75% of its runtime. As such, it's carried by the infectious, raucous energy of these costumed maniacs* who effectively bring Popcorn alive—not unlike how a familiar film takes on a renewed vigor when you witness it with a group of likeminded horror hounds. Because everyone involved seems to get this, it's easy to overlook the very weird, ludicrous shit underpinning its storyline: supernatural elements that are quickly forgotten, a ridiculous killer sporting the most convincing masks ever, and a mid-marathon reggae concert interlude.
To be quite clear, Popcorn only makes the faintest lick of sense—and that's okay. What it lacks in sense, it makes up for with its willingness to approach this material on the level of the fans it was so clearly made for. While Popcorn isn't quite like the self-aware meta-horrors that would arrive a few years later, it's most certainly a harbinger for them. Just as Scream thrives on its references and nods, so too does Popcorn flourish with its obvious love of this genre. This is a film that just gets what it's like to be a horror film: it knows the allure of forbidden, lost movies and crafts an intriguing mythology out of it with the Lanyard Gates backstory. It knows the thrill of discovering (or rediscovering) classics within the magical walls of a repertory screening and indulges it by often transporting viewers into the fictional films playing on-screen during the marathon.
Unsurprisingly, these films have become synonymous with Popcorn itself, with each representing a throwback to specific eras and genres: Mosquito evokes the giant bug movies of the 50s, while The Attack of the Amazing Electrified Man recalls that same decade's other science-gone-haywire parables. Finally, The Stench is a Japanese import that seems like it could have been a lost Toho production, complete with lush, garish widescreen compositions. Director Mark Herrier allows just enough of a glimpse of these films to allow their B-movie matinee aesthetics to resonate and guide Popcorn to a similar verve. This is very much an update of these cheap, effects-laden thrills—it just so happens that the gags are now in the service of grisly gore and wicked makeup effects.
And so, even though it was easily the hundredth (or so) riff on slasher movies by 1991, Popcorn nonetheless feels somewhat fresh. With little recourse but to go big or go home, Herrier fucking went for it here by staging a rambunctious, action-packed take in an attempt to resuscitate a stale genre. Bolstered by a weirdly great cast (Dee Wallace Stone, Ray Walston (!), Kelly Jo Minter, and Tony Roberts all appear) and its bonkers energy, Popcorn doesn't shy away from one of the primary purposes of a slasher movie: to have as much trashy fun as possible in the space of about 90 minutes. Far from an attempt to reclaim its more respectable, suspenseful roots, it instead opts for the wild, over-the-top pop-splatter approach of the late 80s, right down to the villain taking a page out of the Freddy Krueger and Chucky playbooks, what with his outsized personality and sardonic wit.
While he and Popcorn didn't exactly carry on the slasher tradition into the 90s, it certainly wasn't for lack of trying. Popcorn might be a bit of a mess, but it's an earnest, spirited one looking to please an audience it knows all too well—call it pandering, I suppose. I can never be too upset at a film that dares have a giant mosquito prop impale people, nor can I dismiss any slasher that boasts not one, but two catchy theme songs. It turns out that Popcorn might have been more of a last gasp than a genre reinvigoration, but what a rousing, breathless gasp it was.
*Though I have to say, the crowd tends to grow a bit too obnoxious as the marathon wears on--no true film fan would goof on the movies and act above them like this one does.
After spending over a decade in home video limbo following a lone DVD release in 2001, Popcorn makes its triumphant return with Synapse's latest collector's edition steelbook Blu-ray/DVD combo pack. For fans, this has been a very long time coming, and the release does not disappoint: Popcorn has never looked or sounded better, especially to the generation that was introduced to it via VHS. We're a long way from that here, as Synapse's transferred a restored, 35mm interpositive vault element for this release and produced a fair number of supplements to boot.
Where the original DVD only featured a handful of promotional material, this one boasts a commentary with Herrier, Schoelen, Malcolm Danare, and effects artist Mat Falls, plus an hour-long making-of retrospective featuring most of the cast and crew. It's a fairly no-holds-barred, frank look back too, as nobody shies away from the film's troubled production, which saw both its director and lead actress replaced early on. Producer Bob Clark's presence also looms large, with many of the participants confirming what has been suspected for years: that he had a heavy hand in actually directing the film alongside Herrier (who understandably denies as much—he owns up to the film, warts and all, and even compares his experience to Tobe Hooper's on Poltergeist). The cast and crew also look back fondly on Tom Villard, who passed away a few years later—it won't be a surprise to anyone who's seen Popcorn, but it turns out he had one of the most infectious personalities on set.
All told, it's a nice, comprehensive little retrospective that traces the film's conception to the shooting (in Jamaica, which explains all the reggae) to its release, an arc that will be quite familiar to those who have seen similar Red Shirt Pictures special features. A separate interview with Bruce Glover—who appears as the titular Electrified Man—also appears alongside a theatrical trailer, TV spots, promotional stills, and liner notes from Michael Gingold. It's just about everything long-time Popcorn fans could have asked for from a release that's been in the works for years now. Yes, it arrives at a premium price point, but I can't imagine fans being disappointed with a final product that's been crafted with utmost care. Even if the possible venue for Popcorn would be your favorite rep house, but this is easily the next best thing.


San Francisco — PG&E has begun exploring renewable energy from space as it seeks approval from California state regulators, the CPUC, to purchase power from Solaren Corporation offering 200 megawatts over 15 years.
Solaren's technology uses solar panels in Earth orbit, converting the energy to radio frequency for transmission to an Earth-based receiving station. The received radio frequency is converted into electricity and fed into the power grid.
Solaren envisions deploying a solar array into space to beam an average of 850 gigawatt hours the first year of the term and 1,700 gigawatts per year over the remaining term according to their filing to the CPUC.
A clear advantage of solar in space is efficiency. From space, solar energy is converted into radio frequency waves, which are then beamed to Earth. The conversion rate of the RF waves to electricity is in the area of 90%, said Solaren CEO Gary Spirnak, citing U.S. government research. The conversion rate for a typical Earth-bound nuclear or coal-fired plant, meanwhile, is in the area of 33%. And space solar arrays are also 8-10 times more efficient than terrestrial solar arrays as there's no atmospheric or cloud interference, no loss of sun at night and no seasons.
So space solar energy is a baseload resource, as opposed to Earth-based intermittent sources of solar power. Spirnak claims that space real estate is still free although hard to reach. Solaren seeks only land only for an Earth-based energy receiving station and may locate the station near existing transmission lines, greatly reducing costs.
While the concept of space solar power makes sense on white boards, making it all work affordably is a major challenge. Solar energy from space have a long history of research to draw upon. The U.S. Department of Energy and NASA began seriously studying the concept of solar power satellites in the 1970s, followed by a major "fresh look" in the Clinton administration.
The closest comparison to the proposed Fresno, California deployment is DirecTV, the satellite TV provider, Spirnak explained. DirecTV sends TV signals down to earth on solar-powered RF waves. However, when they reach the Earth, the solar energy is wasted, he said, as all the receivers pick up is the TV programming.
Solaren claims they'll be working with citizen groups and government agencies to support the project's development. Solaren is required to get all necessary permits and approvals from federal, state and local agencies.
At onset, in exploring space solar energy as in exploring all nascent technologies, explorers shall have to show and prove their renewable technology safe.
Acting Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Chairman Jon Wellinghoff recently published Facilitating Hydrokinetic Energy Development Through Regulatory Innovation.
Consider it required reading as a backgrounder on US wave energy policy development, FERC's position on the MMS in renewables and FERC's perceived role as a government agency in renewable energy, specifically marine energy, development.
socio-economic factors at each and every marine location (including a community plan with local/state/federal levels of participation).
Approaching the marine renewable energy frontier with a gestalt view toward technology, policy and environmental concerns is a recommended path for safe exploration and development of new renewable energy solutions.
It has been FERC's position that energy regulatory measures and policies must precede before serious launch of US projects and other documents by Wellinghoff have noted a six month lead time for policy development alone.
MendoCoastCurrent sees all elements fast-tracked in tandem. Environmental studies/impact statements are gathered as communities gear up to support the project(s) while technology and funding partners consider siting with best practices and cost-efficient deployment of safe marine energy generation. All of these elements happen concurrently while FERC, DOI/MMS, DOE local and state governments explore, structure and build our required, new paradigm for safe and harmonious ocean energy policies.
On January 26, 2009, Lockheed Martin and Ocean Power Technologies agreed to work together to develop a commercial-scale wave energy project off the coasts of Oregon or California.
OPT is providing their expertise in project and site development as they build the plant's power take-off and control systems with their PowerBuoy for electricity generation. Lockheed will build, integrate and deploy the plant as well as provide operating and maintenance services. Lockheed and OPT have already worked together on maritime projects for the U.S. government.
Spanish utility Iberdrola is using OPT's PowerBuoy on the Spainish coast in Santoña for first phase deployment, hoping to become the first commercial-scale wave energy device in the world. In the Spainish project, Lockheed and Ocean Power are working toward an increased cost-performance of a power-purchasing agreement from which this U.S. wave energy project may benefit.
As the Monday, February 9, 2009 before 2 p.m. deadline for filing FERC Motion to Intervene papers regarding the Green Wave LLC wave energy preliminary permit off the Mendocino village coast approaches, locals, the City of Fort Bragg and fishing organization are participating and electronically filing their views with FERC.
Have you filed your FERC Motion to Intervene today?

An Agreement of Cooperation was concluded between IOM and the State Judicial Administration of Ukraine. The document was signed by the Head of the State Judicial Administration of Ukraine Mr. Ruslan Kyryliuk and the Chief of the IOM Mission in Ukraine Mr. Manfred Profazi.
The Agreement is intended to consolidate efforts of the Parties in counteracting crimes related to trafficking in persons and those based on racial, ethnic or religious hatred. The particular goal is to promote observance of human rights of citizens of Ukraine as well as foreigners and stateless persons.
?The crucial aim of Ukrainian judicial system reform is implementing best European standards. We are thankful to IOM for its support,? the Head of the State Judicial Administration of Ukraine Mr. Ruslan Kyryliuk stated.
IOM and the State Judicial Administration of Ukraine have been cooperating in the field of witness protection since 2009. In the framework of a project funded by the U.S. State Department, video-link testimony systems were installed by IOM Khmelnytskyi City Regional Court, Lutsk City Regional Court, Suvorivskyi District Court of the city of Kherson, Ivano-Frankivsk, Luhansk and Chernihiv Courts of Appeal.
?These systems are crucial for improving victim and witness protection, completely separating them from the audience during court hearings of trafficking-related and other sensitive criminal cases. We are proud that those already in place have been used during more than 250 court hearings,? IOM Ukraine Chief of Mission Manfred Profazi stated after the signing ceremony.
?In the framework of a new US-funded project IOM will install video-link testimony systems in eight additional selected Ukrainian courts,? Mr. Profazi informed.

Beck Black
Modern Rock Band
Beck Black delivers a bluesy punk experience with the dynamic soul of pure rock'n'roll theater. Together with Adam Alt, award-winning drummer from Street Drum Corps, Ms. Black, front woman, keyboardist/bassist, & composer reaches new peaks of sound and energy with tightly woven songs and an electrifying stage presence not to be missed. Black's take-no-prisoners show attitude, combined with Alt's fierce drumming and the recently-added guitar shredder Mo Mattaquin, have been devastating LA crowds for over the last year. Iconic venues like the Troubador, Echo, the Viper Room, and the Satellite (formerly SpaceLand), clammor to book Black again and again. An appearance at Music Saves Lives, SXSW 2014 as their debut, solidified Beck Black's status not just as LA darlings, but a national force to be reckoned with.
Their premiere single, "Life's a Circus" & "RockOn", garnered them international acclaim in 2014 with radio play on taste-making stations like KROQ & KCRW in LA, AshevilleFM in NC, and web radio in Canada and the UK. Spring 2015 will bring the long-awaited launch of the Clandestine EP (mastered by Brian Lucey, Black Keys/ Arctic Monkeys). Its lead single, the dark, brooding and bold "American Mister," co-produced by Kii Arens (Flipp) and the legendary Don Bolles (The Germs/Ariel Pink), is available now on iTunes. "Mister" combines the star-crossed sonic tensions of The Kills with the dramatic dynamics of classic Souxie and the Banshees for a massive-yet-minimalist modern love story delivered in Black's undeniable style. In a word: EPIC.
"At times her moody blues evoke the Doors at their strangest, or perhaps a more gothic Nico, wrapped up in a web of eerily spidery harpsichord lines. At other times, [they] kick out the jams with a punk-rock intensity" ~ LA Weekly
"electrifying and enthralling" ~ The Satellite
"infectious... slick and sexy" ~ Artist Direct
"We love the tone that Warm Audio brings to my vocal chain. It will be used everywhere on our upcoming record!"
