DEIS
Environmental Review Process
Every development project, such as Greybarn Sayville, has to undergo an extensive environmental review process that takes into consideration every possible impact a project could have on all environment-related issues. This 10,000+ page document was recently deemed complete by the Town of Islip and its third-party consultants, but let us know what you think.
Please note that the plan studied in the DEIS is the "original" proposed plan and does not reflect many of the changes we expect a final plan would contain, based on the community's input.

Equal Housing
Opportunity
Lower density and building positioning
The revised plan calls for 23.0% fewer homes, enabling important changes to the site layout. Increasing the setbacks, providing expanded natural buffers and the elimination of 4-story buildings as requested by the community will significantly reduce visual impacts. Reducing the number of homes also reduces the number of vehicles.
3-Story Rental Buildings
The number of rental buildings has been reduced from 19 to 10, all of which will be three stories.
Much larger buffers
Sightlines from the surrounding community were reconsidered. We were able to significantly increase the depth of most of the screening buffers around the property. For instance, the previous building setback along Bohemia Parkway was 135 feet. The new plan provides an expanded landscaped buffer set back doubled to 287 feet from the site property line.
Added ownership opportunities
Based on community feedback, for-sale homes have been added. The revised plan includes 124 single-family townhomes available for purchase, which represents a 11.7 percent rate homeownership rate compared to zero percent in the original plan.
More preserve space
As part of the revised plan, 78 of the 114 acres will remain undeveloped and green; representing a 68% of the entire site in contrast to 58.7% in the original Plan – a 16% increase in Open Space.
The last major change to the plan is the amount of land space dedicated for stormwater management and ecological restoration including six acres which will be restored and stewarded as a preserved natural native species habitat at the southern edge of the property.
The Storm water management system includes water course and ecological components and is a link between the Sayville National Wildlife Refuge and Greene's Creek.
Decrease in Rental Homes
The number of rental homes has decreased from 1,365 to 927 – a reduction of 314 units (32.1% reduction)

Don't Ignore Divestment's History [incl. Rashid Khalidi]
by Levi Teitel
The Michigan Daily (student newspaper of the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor)
https://www.meforum.org/campus-watch/25221/dont-ignore-divestment-history-incl-rashid-khalidi
Perhaps to your chagrin, this is another column regarding the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions movement at the University of Michigan. In BDS's iteration on campus, only the "D" — divestment — was up for proposal. Rather than formally opposing or supporting one side of the debate, I wish to contextualize both the origins and current situation the University community is grappling with: the vociferous and drawn-out Central Student Government debate and subsequent vote over whether the University's Board of Regents should create a committee to investigate companies in Israel accused of human rights violations against Palestinians. Speeches from students and community leaders of all affiliations highlighted their personal narratives that shaped their outlook on the resolution.
As we understood Tuesday evening, there are too many sides not just in the Arab-Israeli conflict, but also concerning BDS. What exactly are the stakes of what's being argued? In the end, these concerns reveal the emotions people invest in this issue and the contention that ensues as a result. For all sides, it's sometimes difficult to articulate this into words when instead actions may serve more apropos. In many transnational conflicts, land and nationhood are both symbols of pride used to formulate their own identities and differentiate themselves from others.
I recognize that by presenting "both sides" to this argument I am omitting the nuances and multiple perspectives groups and individuals bring when discussing this issue. My intention, therefore, is to highlight the central concerns and history of what exactly is being thrust into the limelight.
In the eyes of both BDS's supporters and detractors, each side considers the other to be expunging history. This month was the centennial of the signing of the Balfour Declaration, which some historians view as ground zero of the "100 year war" between Jews and Arabs. Though the current situation in Israel, Gaza and the West Bank bears little in common with the genesis of this schism, both sides of the BDS debate on Tuesday night cited the need to reinvestigate the circumstances that enabled the present-day reality.
The timing of the divestment vote and the Balfour Declaration's centennial could not be more fitting. In the midst of the centennial, academics are contemplating what the current status of the Arab-Israeli conflict means. Bernard Avishai and Rashid Khalidi published pieces in The New Yorker and Jacobin, respectively, addressing these concerns. Understanding the parallels between the present and past allows us to see the continuities in political debate.
Avishai, though more circumspect in his telling, stresses that from the outset the Balfour Declaration had an "equality of obligation," in the words of the British Colonial Office, to both Arabs and Jews. While the Balfour Declaration became reified in 1917, Jewish immigration to Palestine had long been in place and would only increase in the years before the Israeli state was established in 1948 (and thereafter).
Khalidi, on the other hand, is more deterministic in assigning the Balfour Declaration as the birth of the conflict. From his perspective, the "triple bind" of Zionist colonization, British imperialism and lack of international sympathy played into the shorthand of the stick Palestinians received.
From the outset, the United States has considered assistance to Israel in the national interest. President Harry Truman was one of the first international leaders to express support for the nascent Jewish state when it declared statehood in 1948. Since then, support has ebbed and flowed. Most Americans today hold Israel in high regard, but both generational and ideological differences are indicators of either support or disapproval.
BDS has thus become a linchpin of where one stands with Israel. From the movement's official website, BDS is a global campaign and "Palestinian-led movement for freedom, justice and equality" that "upholds the simple principle that Palestinians are entitled to the same rights as the rest of humanity." Divestment entails foregoing investments with any companies that deal directly with Israel. In this case, the movement targets Boeing, Lockheed Martin and Hewlett-Packard — all of which contribute to the University's endowment.
While conservatives are contemptuous of college students for not supporting free speech ideals, Palestinian students (of whom Students for Allied Freedom and Equality — SAFE — spoke on behalf) contend that they have been continuously silenced for speaking out for what they believe is an injustice to themselves and their community. All such concerns stem from a fear of further marginalization at the hands of a student government that has rejected their proposal in successive fashion.
But the same concerns regarding free speech and marginalization come from the other side as well. Multiple students wrote an op-ed in The Michigan Daily expressing concern that BDS further divides and is antithetical to the University's Diversity, Equity and Inclusion strategic plan. Commentary magazine columnist Jonathan Tobin wrote that the companies SAFE seeks to divest from protect Israeli citizens from "terrorist explosives and other dangers."
In light of these campus (and global) divisions, students are inundated with conflicting messages. With a situation as complex as the one between Israelis and Palestinians, students must do their best to educate themselves on how they envision not just a lasting peace, but also their stance on the conflict once it can become fully articulated.
The status of campus BDS campaigns nationwide remains variable. What remains constant, however, is that all sides are unwavering in their contention that BDS serves a symbolic purpose. As someone who has studied the Arab-Israeli conflict throughout college, I am fully aware of the importance of symbolism for many groups when they interpret their own histories.
Tuesday night's proceedings during the CSG meeting have only cemented people's desires to reclaim narratives of personal identity and nationhood. For those unfamiliar with the significance of BDS, this valuation is just too hard to comprehend.

Bitter divorces and flings with young women; unforeseen pregnancy and unemployment; rehab and illness and negligent kids ... these are a few of its favorite things. Actor/director Edward Burns again hops behind the camera for The Fitzgerald Family Christmas, a holiday-centered drama that focuses on reconciliation of past transgressions and the importance of the family bond during that most wonderful time of the year. There's something worth commending in Burns' ability to pull authentic performances from his actors within a dense network of sibling and parental connections, a testament to his capability as a director. However, it's hard to take it in earnest with such a laundry list of melodramatic problems hampering the lives of the Fitzgeralds -- namely father issues -- manufacturing too many Lifetime Channel-caliber crises to juggle while underlining how the spirit of the season triumphs over some of 'em.
Without a family leader to arrange things due to bad blood involving his negligent father, restaurant manager Gerry (Edward Burns) takes it upon himself to gather his brothers and sisters together for his mother's (Anita Gillette) pre-Christmas birthday celebration. One problem leads to another, though, between domestic squabbles and a general lack of desire to be around one another, leaving Gerry in the lurch as each of his siblings endure complications leading up to the holidays. While making social rounds, he meets Nora (Connie Britton), a nurse whom he shows a romantic interest in, a new situation considering his own personal tragedy. The Fitzgerald Family Christmas tracks Gerry and each of his siblings as they deal with their personal issues -- relationships with much older and younger flames, messy divorces, pregnancy, joblessness, drug addiction, wanting more from life -- alongside a more significant, universal one: their wayward father, Jim (Ed Lauter), has decided he wants to spend Christmas with them, clashing with his mother's adamant feelings toward her ex-husband.
There's a tolerable stripped-down holiday drama somewhere at the center of The Fitzgerald Family Christmas, involving a doting older brother dealing with his resistant siblings while trying to reconcile differences with their father for a significant Christmas celebration. Coupled with the restrained but inviting chemistry between Edward Burns and Connie Britton as a depiction of a guy who's lost his wife and wants to get back in the saddle with someone right, a far simpler and earnest story could be told here. Burns aims for more than that, though, instead focusing on how the Fitzgeralds' once-patriarch twisted all their perspectives on relationships, both romantic and within their large family, in various ways that made them all slightly off-kilter; some are detached and disgruntled, while others tolerate abuse and fail to see the good in front of them. It's an overly-ambitious endeavor that would've been far simpler had there been, say, half the number of brothers and sisters to bequeath with issues.
Unfortunately, the handful of subplots and divergent character focuses in The Fitzgerald Family Christmas make it feel like a scatterbrained mess overstuffed with superfluous melodrama, as if Edward Burns couldn't decide which passed-down parental issues to focus on and, instead, just tossed them all in for good measure. While the performances from everyone involved never grow unconvincing -- a testament to solid casting choices in selecting feasible siblings with a mix of timidity, protectiveness, and passion -- they're working with such an unlikely batch of concurrent issues that it gets strenuous to follow. It doesn't help that most of the Fitzgerald clan can be selfish and downright unlikable; it's bizarre to hear Gerry's brothers and sisters comment on his attitude when theirs are, oftentimes, more unbearable. Particularly, it's Connie (Caitlin FitzGerald) and Quinn's (Michael McGlone) trip to the Hamptons with their respective older, wealthy guy and younger potential bride-to-be that crashes and burns, the ordeal taking a predictable yet nonsensical turn while they're willfully secluded from family.
Resentment toward the Fitzgeralds' father run consistently throughout Mr. Burns' film, yet it's only once Jim reveals his reasons for choosing this Christmas to create a stir -- yeah, it's about what you'd expect -- that The Fitzgerald Family Christmas becomes frustratingly overstated and fixated on catharsis over the holidays. There's nothing subtle about it, either: the family's ugliness spills out in appalling ways, while their personal issues mushroom out of control as the day approaches. Tones revolving around physical abuse, mortality, and regret pigeonhole the film's emotional purposes towards that tidy, obvious resolution expected of a holiday drama, though, struggling for genuineness while the family makes its decisions as the dust settles from their other problems. Director Burns tries to deliver something akin to Arnaud Desplechin's A Christmas Tale by using a combination of tragedy and holiday obligation to air out a family's dirty laundry, but it ends up feeling insincere and trite once the Fitzgeralds finally lift their glasses in holiday cheer.
Not a ton of liveliness going on in the cinematography of The Fitzgerald's Family Christmas, which sports intentionally muted, tan-leaning colors within its 2.35:1-framed anamorphic widescreen transfer. It's a suitable treatment of the material from Magnolia Home Entertainment, though: textures in wood and clothing appear tangible and natural, while the contrast levels stay conscientious of details in both exterior sunlight and by the pleasant glow of interior Christmas lights. A few close-ups do illustrate the disc's capability with finer details and skin tones (several shots of Nora, aimed at focusing on a sympathetic face, do so brilliantly), while only a few sequences are limited by a somewhat murky rendering of features. Overall, though, it captures the flickers of the holiday setting with grace while concentrating on what matters: preserving the quality of the characters' interactions.
There's little to discuss about the 5.1 Dolby Digital track: it competently focuses on the dialogue, calm conversations and arguments alike, with no discernible distortion and a fine capacity for keeping it sounding natural. As far as I could tell, though, aside from a few driving effects, nothing really leaves the front channels, though there's some nice separation at the front that's satisfactory. The only sound elements that shake things up a bit are the stumbling of trash cans and the clank of glasses, which get the job done without being particularly noteworthy. For the film's purposes, it gets across the finish line without any stumbles hindering its journey to Christmas day.
Despite not feeling enthusiastic about Edward Burns' script itself, The Fitzgerald Family Christmas does showcase a lot of promise in his abilities as a director, which this Audio Commentary with him further proves. He candidly discusses getting the film made and calling in favors for locations, little easter eggs about elements he dropped in the production, operating around the film's tone and purposes, and especially about the range of actors across the entire film. Burns stays enthusiastic, composed, and engaged in informing those watching, and inherently makes one further appreciate the effort put into the production.
The Fitzgerald Family Christmas also arrives with a pared-down, family-friendly PG-13 Rated Cut, chopping off nearly ten minutes in the process.
A decent holiday drama about forgiveness, reconciliation, and coping with the problems with one's upbringing exists somewhere within Edward Burns' The Fitzgerald Family Christmas, but it loses its way amid far too much melodrama that conveniently erupts at the same time. While it's understood that these kinds of things seem to happen around Christmastime, there's simply too much ruckus to take seriously among the slightly-damaged good among the Fitzgerald clan, where each of the siblings' issues could encompass its own overcooked TV-movie tearjerker. With a little willful persistence and tolerance of some of the Fitzgeralds' unlikable nature, one might find the meaningfulness in Gerry's pursuits -- towards his siblings, his parents, and towards Nora -- as their experiences chaotically bring them closer to a holiday reunion and to a cathartic point involving their past.

Dubai is extraordinary but we also can't miss out on the capital city. Ride easy, stress-less and economical between these emirates with the reliable options.
To start solo travelling or go on a family trip, Dubai, in either case, has managed to pull out its best attractions for the visitors. At one side it has impressive modern architecture and adventure while on other it holds the rhythm of river and heritage. Known for luxury shopping, scrumptious menu a vibrant nightlife scene, hopping on and off is frequent.
And since you are in Dubai, why not spend a weekend away in the capital city, Abu Dhabi. It is beautiful, warm-receptive and thrilling. From the peaceful mosques to world-recorded rides, Abu Dhabi is a pleasure to be at.
Thanks to the mega-development and infrastructure of Dubai that travelling around has not been a subject of concern. Want to drive from Dubai Marina to Burj Khalifa, or Dubai Airport to your hotel, or Dubai to Abu Dhabi, the first-class roads and fleet of transports like cars, taxis and Dubai- Abu Dhabi bus, make it a piece of cake.
How far is Abu Dhabi from Abu Dhabi?
There are three running routes that you can choose for reaching Abu Dhabi.
How to travel from Dubai to Abu Dhabi?
It merely takes an hour and a half via road to jump from Dubai and arrive at the city of diversity and history, Abi Dhabi. And we would definitely not suggest flight because it takes about 3 hr 25 min, besides being indirect, hectic and expensive.
If you are a person of utmost privacy or want to have just family time and budget is not a constraint, get yourself a rental car or taxi. Drive yourself or hire a professional chauffeur who can take you through the familiar routes without any inconvenience. It could be a rash or bumpy drive, so buckle yourself up. A one-way trip to Abu Dhabi by the taxi would call for around 250 AED (68 USD). A willing driver can also tell you the best places to hang out in the capital.
Not having a driving license or cash to slash? Book a bus.
If you desire to explore the perfect views around the town, interact with people and save happy memories in your pocket, without digging a hole in your wallet, public transport is your fix. Take a Dubai- Abu Dhabi bus or an Etihad/ Emirate shuttle, and you are good to go.
Also, the bus stations are built to take care of the tourists. You can stay at the air-conditioned waiting rooms, bow down at prayer areas available for both men and women, and eat and drink at the cafeterias or from vending machines. Also with dedicated customer service centres, all your complaints are attended first.
Find the nearby bus stop: Use your GPS and explore the nearest/ neighbouring bus stop for you.
If you are in Bur Dubai, Satwa, or Karama, take the E100 bus, or if you are travelling from Dubai Marina, JLT, or the JBR area, hop on to the E101 bus.
Also, buses at these stations leave at every 20 minutes, so do not be disappointed on failing to catch the prior one.
Walk or book a taxi: Since there are only two bus stops, it won't take time to reach them. As per your GPS, if the distance is short prefer walking, but if heat strikes you and cap is no good, show hands to stop a taxi. Ask the driver to take you to the nearest bus station and there you are.
Arrive 15 minutes early: IThere may be cases when heavy traffic or some kind of default in the vehicle can delay the running time. It's rare but to avoid any such circumstance, be present 15-25 minutes early of the given allotment. The Dubai to Abu Dhabi bus timings range from 6 am-11pm, so, in case you decide to stay overnight in the capital, book your hotels too.
Book with standard RTA Nol card: There is no hustle of long queues for purchasing the bus tickets as you can get tickets in the bus itself, from the driver before boarding. Buy it with the smart card, RTA Nol card. It is an electronic bus pass that will get you the ticket worth 15 AED instead of the regular 25 AED.
Get your luggage stored: Stretch your arms and legs and sit comfortably by lodging your luggage! There are a lot of people in the popular seasons and you won't want to be distracted by anything, so better keep the baggage in the upper compartments. As these compartments are present overhead, storing the personal and financial belongings in them is safe until it's time to exit the bus and the compartments are opened.
Enjoy the ride: Now as you have got rid of your heavy bags and are sitting all cosy and relaxed, watch outside to relish the captivating views. It is your 'me' time and you can catch up with some left out business emails, read books or watch movies.
Have you purchased your economy class tickets from Etihad or Emirates airlines? Congrats, you get a complimentary shuttle taking you to and fro from Abu Dhabi. There is 'n' number of these shuttles running the entire day that can work for your itineraries without blowing your schedule.
Don't be late: Shuttles are known for their promptness and comfort. So, if you want to avail this free service be on time. However, do not worry in case you miss the shuttle because the next one is on the way. Etihad has 10 shuttles daily, while Emirates has 6.
Keep luggage in compartment: For a laid-back ride, drop your luggage in the compartment under the shuttle. Enjoy the ride and admire the views and scenery alongside the roads, it is worth watching and capturing.
Well, private cars are more straightforward, but these buses will double the experience and fun. Contact a local agent and get your free Airline buses booked before 48 hours of flight departure.

Q: Accessing vuex module state from another module I'm learning vuex and making some headway but I'm stuck on something. I have a vue component with a store containing a number of modules. I have locations with have equipment. User selects a location and I store that in in my vuex state in the location module.
I'm trying to access the location from the equipment module to load only equipment for the chosen location.
The documentation says this should work:
actions: {
incrementIfOddOnRootSum ({ state, commit, rootState }) {
  if ((state.count + rootState.count) % 2 === 1) {
    commit('increment')
  }
}

When I try this in my module:
GET_EQUIPMENTS : async (context,payload, rootState) => {
  alert(JSON.stringify(rootState.location, null, 4));
}

I get error rootState is not defined.
If I alert context I can see rootGetters
{
  "getters": {},
  "state": {
    "equipments": [],
    "equipment": null
  },
  "rootGetters": {
    "locations/LOCATIONS":[
    {
       "id": 1,
       "name": "West Pico",
    }
  }
}

But I can't figure out how to access locations/LOCATIONS, I can get to rootGetters by accessing context.rootGetters.
Any advice?

A: Based on https://vuex.vuejs.org/guide/modules.html
You should wrap  state, commit, rootState in {..} for actions:
actions: {
    incrementIfOddOnRootSum({ state, commit, rootState }, yourParam) {
      if ((state.count + rootState.count + yourParam) % 2 === 1) {
        commit('increment');
      }
    }
  }

Throughout high school and upon graduating from James Madison University (JMU) in 2003, Scott Ashe worked with his father, building homes in the Hampton Roads area. However, in 2008, when the bottom fell out of the economy and the housing market, Ashe realized he was going to have to adapt to the changing landscape. To adjust to this new economy—and the fact that banks weren't lending money for the construction of new homes—many builders moved on to remodeling.
On top of being certified in restoration, Extreme Restoration Inc. is also a Class A contractor. "We come into a home that has been damaged by fire, for instance, we clean what can be cleaned, we demo what needs to be demoed and we put it all back together. When people realize that they might have to vacate their house for a period of time while the work is being done, they may decide that it's the perfect time to do the addition they have contemplated for years. As a Class A contractor, we're obviously there to provide that service as well," Ashe says.
If Ashe could communicate anything to home or business owners when disaster strikes, it would be that they have options in how they choose to handle the problem. "The insurance companies might make recommendations, but ultimately it is the property owner who makes the decision on the scope of the work. People should feel comfortable and confident with whom they engage, and they can only do that by researching and making their own choice." Dealing with a damaged property is never fun, but it doesn't have to be scary.
Ashe enjoys going to the gym, boating and spending time with his wife Catie, who is the CPA for Extreme Restoration. They are a dynamic team who have two young children and have built a beautiful family and successful business together.

Some women have unusually long or heavy menstrual cycles. Normal periods typically last less than 7 days. Also menstrual cycles come in more than 3 week intervals. Bleeding at intervals shorter than three weeks is typically abnormal.
Also if bleeding involves clots or you always bleed through tampons or pads your bleeding may be too heavy. Also bleeding that result in anemia is usually abnormal.
What causes heavy or frequent bleeding?
Heavy bleeding always needs to be evaluated by a physician. There are many causes for heavy bleeding.
What type of an evaluation is needed?
The exact evaluation depends on your particular history and age. You will at least receive a pelvic exam and a Pap smear. Depending on your age you may be tested for various infections and receive an ultrasound. If you are over 35 you may need an endometrial biopsy.
Obviously the type of treatment depends on the diagnosis. In our office we always use the least invasive approach. Once the initial evaluation is completed, and cancer and infection is ruled out, we attempt to control the bleeding with medication or small procedures.
We are extremely excited about a new minimally invasive treatment for heavy bleeding called Novasure. This is an office based procedure that markedly decreases the amount of blood lost with your period. Novasure may even be an alternative for major surgery such as myomectomy or hysterectomy.

Q: character printing confusion I have some code:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main(){
    char abc [20] = "Hello Hello Hi";
    char* ptr = abc;
    cout << (abc+3);
return 0;

}
Why does it print out from the third character up and not simply the third character?
-edit- to whoever flagged it down. it's not the same as prinf(), but same type of concept. i just didnt know the nuances

A: To understand why, you have to understand a bit of pointer arithmetic.
abc is the same as &abc[0] and (abc + 3) is the same as &abc[3]
that being said, cout prints a string from a given char * to a null character.
Therefore, you are basically just printing the string that starts at the third character to the end of the string. If you wanted to print just the third character, you could dereference the pointer to the third character like this.
 *(abc + 3)

A: char abc [20] decays to char*, which is effectively a c-style string. abc+3 remains a pointer, just offset from abc[0], so std::cout will still print it as a string.

A: Because streams have an overload for char* that treats the input like a C-String. The stream operators will print everything until a null terminator (when presented with a char*).
If you want to print a single character then you have to convert your expression to be char not char*.
cout << (abc+3);     // Type of expression is char*

cout << (*(abc+3));  // Type of expression is char
                     // This prints a signle character.

Music Farm shows that live in infamy
by Staff Reports April 13, 2022 December 1, 2022

Music Farm reopens Friday with two nights of Susto, and in honor of all the face melting moments that have gone down on or in the vicinity of the stage in this iconic concert venue, City Paper asked readers to share memories.
"I played on this stage sometime between 2008 and 2011 for an 'F U Valentine's Day' party," said Music Farm market director Charles Carmody. "I was in a comedy band called Introducing Fish Taco. There were a bunch of liquor luges I remember — anyway it turned into a really weird evening."
The venerable Music Farm reopens
by Chelsea Grinstead and Chris Dixon April 13, 2022 December 1, 2022
Here are some other weird-evening memories CP readers shared on Facebook:
"BoDeans, Urge Overkill, Toad the Wet Sprocket, Matthew Sweet. I am also old enough to remember old Music Farm… and Disco Hell! Being in my 20s in the '90s as a College of Charleston student was the BEST." -Amy Fugate Bain
Devin Grant responded to this comment with, "Sheryl Crow opened for the BoDeans that night. It was the week that Tuesday Night Music Club was released and nobody knew who she was."
"I saw the Bad Brains. That was the last show I went to there. HR (the lead singer) didn't sing one word. He just sat there strumming an acoustic guitar — obviously not plugged in — with sunglasses on. I threw a beer at him" – Raiford King
"I spent a few days a week at the MF in the '90s. The old metal shows with Children's Choir, C3P0 and Shaman Mary were the best." -Karen Biggs Easterby
"There is not enough room on this page to fit the bands here. I was fortunate enough to have been involved with Acme Downtown back in the mid '90s. Lots of great live music. Music Farm is a Charleston Icon." -Eric Geiger
"I once watched a couple have full blown 'relations' in the middle of the crowd at a Seven Mary Three show. That was amusing." -Pamela Brown
"I was there 3-4 nights a week in the '90s while working in radio and going to college. Hootie played the first Saturday night. This was before Cracked Rear View had been released. There was a line around the block of people waiting to get into the place, with some trying to jimmy the windows.
Other great memories include David Byrne's first visit to Charleston; Pavement blowing the roof off the place; Cracker and Counting Crows on a double bill; John Popper from Blues Traveler tossing a harmonica to a woman on her friend's shoulders who had removed her shirt while he played a song; Iggy Pop playing the loudest show I've ever attended; Angelo Moore from Fishbone and Fred LeBlanc from Cowboy Mouth climbing up on the speakers and beyond at separate shows; Paul Westerberg drunkenly falling off the stage then going into the ladies restroom to serenade a small but captive audience on the loos, Evan Dando from The Lemonheads cutting an encore short after an audience member shouted something to him about heroin.
The Misfits playing a show in the summer when the air conditioning was out and everyone was dressed in black (I nearly passed out from the heat), and Peter Murphy throwing an absolute tantrum onstage when things weren't just to his liking. There have been so many amazing shows in that building." -Devin Grant
"First concert ever, Papa Roach 😂 " -Peter Burrous Jr.
In response, Andrew Carnicom said, "That was my first date with my wife. We were in the pit when Hed PE opened. It got crazy real fast down there."
"I worked the door at the original Farm and the shows were incredible. Uncle Mingo and Hootie were always a blast. Colonel Bruce and the ARU. Jupiter Coyote. The Grapes. It was a launching pad in the early '90s." -Tom Carroll
"Jump, Little Children; Everclear; Better Than Ezra; Flogging Molly; Gaelic Storm; The Dead Milkmen and about a zillion other shows! Disco Inferno nights! Metal shows! Punk shows!" -Kerri Kennedy
"Mid-'90s … Kevin Kinney (KK) was playing at Cumberland's on a week night and Government Mule was playing at the Farm. KK cut it short at Cumberland's. About 30 minutes later, in the Farm KK was standing next to me watching GM. Good old days. 😂" -David F. Mulkey
"Attending the Cracker show and standing next to actor Tim Roth and I believe he bought me a Bud Light because I was celebrating my birthday."
"Quench, Souls Harbor, Kapone, Wormbelly, Skwzbxx, 007, The Blue Dogs, JLC, Shinedown, Beam, just to name a few. I was a huge supporter of local rock back in the '90s and early 2000s. It was such a cool time back then!"


With 3D scanning coming of age with the introduction of High Definition Scanners it was something we just had to get involved in. As such after much research and deliberation we decided to stick with our core value of delivering the best possible job and decided to get a Leica Scanstation P30.
By investing in such a high quality scanner it allows us to scan in the harshest environments and capture the highest quality data. This ensures we get the most accurate results currently possible in our field. Ultimately meaning you get the best possible point cloud for your use no matter what your job at very competitive prices.
If you are looking for someone to do a 3D scan and deliver a point cloud for your use in 3D design, you can be sure we are able to deliver you a service and product that you can work with first go. We have an intricate understanding of what it takes to work with scan data and can deliver point clouds that you can work with without having to upgrade your computer or software (typically).
Photogrammetry is a process of creating a 3D model out of a series of photos. Don't let the simple explanation fool you. While the results can be spectacular, the process is quite a compleax one. Our early success gave us a false sense of security. But we stuck it out through the long had learning curve and lots of failuers to be able to deliver the goods.
While this process has been around for a few years now the software and reliability has only recently made it commercially viable. If it can't be scanned there is a good chance we could digitize it with photogrammetry. Like this chook….
While it is one thing to capture the object it can often be another thing to get the resulting model into a usable format. This is where our experience comes in and we can supply you with a 3D model at 1 : 1 scale in a format you can get into almost any 3D software.
Please note that due to the nature of this process there are a lot of limitations to it. We have taken a lot of time to work out what can and cannot be done though and won't take on a job that we think we can't deliver a good result on. Feel free to give us a call or shoot us an email if you would like to know more about it.

Betraying the Bargain Not to Have Children
There's a variety of Hollywood fantasy that's delicious to visit every so often: beautiful white people to whom success comes effortlessly, living in perfectly appointed houses in bucolic towns. Money is never an issue. Love comes to the deserving, often in abundance. That everyone is talented and worthy of living this beautiful white-people life is never questioned.
What happens when someone who looks the part, but is far more complicated and prickly than her exterior would indicate, ends up in that story?
That's the starting point for thinking about The Resurrection of Joan Ashby (Flatiron Books, $27.99), a big, bold novel by Cherise Wolas. Joan Ashby is a writing wunderkind whose first two books come out to universal acclaim and wild success before she hits the advanced age of 25.
Ashby is singularly focused on her writing. As a child she vowed never to allow any outside forces to pull her away from her calling. Until she is surprised by love, gets married and is then further surprised by an unplanned pregnancy.
The rest of the novel, which follows Ashby for over two more decades, starts at that moment, when her husband—a world-renowned eye surgeon, naturally—is, against the deal they had made never to have children, overjoyed.
Writers are a tricky bunch, and Ashby is no exception. Though she sees clearly into the future, in which her autonomy and ability to produce her art with the single-minded focus she needs will be imperiled, she says nothing. Her husband, high on his elation, doesn't notice. The eye surgeon can't see, and the writer can't communicate.
Rather than engaging in a conversation with her spouse, she grapples with herself and decides to move into that future of wealthy, rural motherhood, complete with a lovingly tended garden, yoga classes and, ultimately, two sons. But she never forgets and she never forgives her husband for what becomes, in the story of her life, the first betrayal she suffers. The one that comes later is far worse, and sends the novel off in a new, not entirely successful direction.
Some readers will be gratified by the book's embrace of the potential for the smoothly untroubled resolution that has been simmering below the surface all along. They'll go along with Ashby as she embarks on a trip of spiritual tourism and finds peace with herself and her choices.
Others (and I am among them) will pine for the Ashby that could have been. In that version, the already thorny character would have gotten even spinier. She would have set off explosions. Instead, she learns to meditate.Still, the novel is too ambitious to ignore. Wolas's own talent is undeniable. It's even more impressive, considering that this is her first book. The novel is littered with stories-with-in-the-story: Ashby's writing as a young superstar, exciting and unnerving in its own right, and the novel she begins after her world has been torn apart.
Although Ashby and her husband are emphatically "not anything," ethnically speaking, and Ashby has to leave the U.S. for the novel even to include people of color, her characters often sport Jewish names. They are the representatives of a not-quite-forgotten foreignness who tie the story to an older identity, as well as calling attention to—and questioning—the fantasy of whiteness, wealth, and achievement that the surface of the novel insists upon.
At its heart, The Resurrection of Joan Ashby is an extended consideration of the role of motherhood in women's lives. We watch Ashby struggle with the same elements so many of us face: her independent authentic voice and need to express it against the call and demands of raising and caring for her children. She defies the cultural imperative to romanticize motherhood: though she embraces her role, she internally favors one son over the other. She resents her children's imposition on her time and imagination. As comfortable as her life is, she feels strangled by the choices she has made.
By the end, though, she is asking, "Is motherhood inescapably entwined in female life, a story every woman ends up telling, whether or not she sought or desired that bond; her nourishment, her caretaking, her love, needed by some-one standing before her, hands held out, demanding succor, commanding her not to look away, but to dig deep, give of herself unstintingly, offer up everything she can?
"Even those of us who have chosen that path have to answer "no." Women are not all cut from the same nurturing cloth. That is as much of a fable as the Hollywood-worthy ending Ashby achieves. History has shown how dam-aging that understanding of women has been, too. So even though Wolas wants Ashby to have it all—motherhood and the wildly successful writing career—she ends up doing so on the back of the very notion that denied women their full, rounded humanity for centuries.
The Resurrection of Joan Ashby can't maintain its fearlessness for its entire length, but for the first two-thirds of the novel, Ashby, like Jacob with the angel, wrestles with her life and identity. It is among the most thrilling prose I have read in a long time.

Chili goes upscale. The chipotle, the chocolate and the cornbread are the secrets to its success.
1. Pre-heat oven to 375º. To make chili, heat olive oil in a large pot. Add onions, celery and garlic. Cook 2-3 minutes.
2. Add carrots and beef. Continue to cook, 6-8 minutes, stirring often.
3. Add remaining ingredients, except chocolate. Bring to a boil, simmer for 30-40 minutes, stirring often.
4. Add grated chocolate to chili, stir until it's melted.
Serve hot chili with cornbread.
1. Grease a 5x9-inch loaf pan. Dust lightly with gluten-free flour.
2. In a large bowl, stir together gluten-free flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, soda and salt.
3. In another bowl, whisk together oil, eggs, buttermilk or substitute, red pepper and jalapeño. Then add to flour mixture; stir to combine.
4. Place dough into loaf pan and bake 25 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool and slice.


If Freemasonry has erred in the choice of these penalties it was in the reference to them as "ANCIENT PENALTIES" rather than what they really were—"ANCIENT SYMBOLIC PENALTIES". As Shakespeare's Hamlet said, "…ah there's the rub". These penalties were never included for the purpose of having an en-forceable violent penalty. They were included simply as a symbolic representation of how seriously a postulant should view his oath.
"Oh yes", some may say ". . .but these are all symbols lacking any violent origin". That may not be entirely accurate either. Many symbols in use today depict a violent beginning and their design is intended to remind us of that hazard. So it may be concluded violent symbols are effective communication links to save us from harm. The simplest being the skull and crossbones as a symbol of life threatening danger and of course the modern nuclear era has spawned untold violent symbols especially designed to protect us from violent hazards.
Even the flags of many nations which certainly are revered and honored by their nationals, and displayed in their places of worship, use red as a symbol of the spilled blood which caused their nations to be born. The red poppy worn so reverently in memory of our soldiers who died in battles to defend our country is a symbol of the blood spilled in battle on Flanders Fields during World War One. The buttons on the sleeve of a man's jacket and the little slit under the buttons are symbols of the time a man's jacket unbuttoned all the way to the shoulder so that he might have easy use of his sword. The vent at the back of a man's jacket is a symbol of the time soldiers rode horseback. The vent allowed their jackets to fall on either side of the riders' legs and so keep his powder dry to more effectively kill his adversary. Quite a nice little symbol to carry around with us when dressed in our Sunday best.
Now to get back to our ANCIENT SYMBOLIC PENALTIES. Why on earth should we even consider relocating or removing them in the first place? "Oh because they are offensive to some religious leaders". That begs the question as to which religious leaders? Some of the greatest clergymen I have ever met, both the pragmatic and the scholarly, have been members of the Masonic Order. Not a single one of those extremely worldly wise reverend brothers ever dreamed of any part of the ceremony being of-fensive in any manner whatever, INCLUDING the penalties. Obviously no clergy outside of the craft should cause us any concern because they really don't understand the context of the ceremony or the part the penalties play in it. Now what does that leave us to contemplate? I believe it points out in the clearest possible terms that the Masonic Order is a true microcosm of the real world in which we live.
We are assembled to unify, in a God fearing brotherhood, wherein we can unite in spirit to treat all of God's children as family. We cannot do that effectively by allowing schisms to develop. We must be unified for the benefit, not solely for our Order, but to better serve mankind in whatever manner God leads us as individuals who have learned to recognize our duty to him and our Brother. There will always be room for change in administrative practices but we should not change that which has worked so well heretofore and for which there is no substantive reason to consider change!

Rice researchers develop paintable battery
– June 28, 2012Posted in: Featured Stories
Technique could turn any surface into a lithium-ion battery; may be combined with solar cells
Researchers at Rice University have developed a lithium-ion battery that can be painted on virtually any surface.
The rechargeable battery created in the lab of Rice materials scientist Pulickel Ajayan consists of spray-painted layers, each representing the components in a traditional battery. The research appears in Nature's online, open-access journal Scientific Reports.
"This means traditional packaging for batteries has given way to a much more flexible approach that allows all kinds of new design and integration possibilities for storage devices," said Ajayan, Rice's Benjamin M. and Mary Greenwood Anderson Professor in Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science and of chemistry. "There has been lot of interest in recent times in creating power sources with an improved form factor, and this is a big step forward in that direction."
Rice University graduate student Charudatta Galande, Professor Pulickel Ajayan and graduate student Neelam Singh show off the first test device for their paintable batteries, an array of standard ceramic tiles combined with a solar cell and an array of LEDs, which the batteries powered for six hours.

Lead author Neelam Singh, a Rice graduate student, and her team spent painstaking hours formulating, mixing and testing paints for each of the five layered components – two current collectors, a cathode, an anode and a polymer separator in the middle.
The materials were airbrushed onto ceramic bathroom tiles, flexible polymers, glass, stainless steel and even a beer stein to see how well they would bond with each substrate.
In the first experiment, nine bathroom tile-based batteries were connected in parallel. One was topped with a solar cell that converted power from a white laboratory light. When fully charged by both the solar panel and house current, the batteries alone powered a set of light-emitting diodes that spelled out "RICE" for six hours; the batteries provided a steady 2.4 volts.
The researchers reported that the hand-painted batteries were remarkably consistent in their capacities, within plus or minus 10 percent of the target. They were also put through 60 charge-discharge cycles with only a very small drop in capacity, Singh said.

Each layer is an optimized stew. The first, the positive current collector, is a mixture of purified single-wall carbon nanotubes with carbon black particles dispersed in N-methylpyrrolidone. The second is the cathode, which contains lithium cobalt oxide, carbon and ultrafine graphite (UFG) powder in a binder solution. The third is the polymer separator paint of Kynar Flex resin, PMMA and silicon dioxide dispersed in a solvent mixture. The fourth, the anode, is a mixture of lithium titanium oxide and UFG in a binder, and the final layer is the negative current collector, a commercially available conductive copper paint, diluted with ethanol.
"The hardest part was achieving mechanical stability, and the separator played a critical role," Singh said. "We found that the nanotube and the cathode layers were sticking very well, but if the separator was not mechanically stable, they would peel off the substrate. Adding PMMA gave the right adhesion to the separator." Once painted, the tiles and other items were infused with the electrolyte and then heat-sealed and charged.

Singh said the batteries were easily charged with a small solar cell. She foresees the possibility of integrating paintable batteries with recently reported paintable solar cells to create an energy-harvesting combination that would be hard to beat. As good as the hand-painted batteries are, she said, scaling up with modern methods will improve them by leaps and bounds. "Spray painting is already an industrial process, so it would be very easy to incorporate this into industry," Singh said.
The Rice researchers have filed for a patent on the technique, which they will continue to refine. Singh said they are actively looking for electrolytes that would make it easier to create painted batteries in the open air, and they also envision their batteries as snap-together tiles that can be configured in any number of ways.
"We really do consider this a paradigm changer," she said.
Co-authors of the paper are graduate students Charudatta Galande and Akshay Mathkar, alumna Wei Gao, now a postdoctoral researcher at Los Alamos National Laboratory, and research scientist Arava Leela Mohana Reddy, all of Rice; Rice Quantum Institute intern Andrea Miranda; and Alexandru Vlad, a former research associate at Rice, now a postdoctoral researcher at the Université Catholique de Louvain, Belgium.
The Advanced Energy Consortium, the National Science Foundation Partnerships for International Research and Education, Army Research Laboratories and Nanoholdings Inc. supported the research.
Conventional lithium-ion batteries wrap active layers into a canister or other portable container. But Rice University researchers have found a way to paint those layers onto any surface, which opens up the possibility of turning those surfaces into storage devices.

Great invention. In today world cant imagine future of Energy system in respect to oxygen emission. But from this research, I can say we will have compact way of alternate and cheap energy. At least we will keep our house bright with such low cost energy.

If no oxygen is a requirement, maybe a low oxygen area such as the salt flats in Bolivia might be a helpful site to run some tests.


recently my AV blocked some connections who tried to exploit some security vulnerability. I have attached the Log nearby.
I thought of posting this problem here because the target was the Server where the SE VPN runs and the PORT was Port Nummer on which SE VPN is Listening.
Is there a security Vulnerability in SE VPN Software? It says something about the "CVE-2017-5638: Apache Struts 2".
SoftEether VPN Server isn't affected by the vulnerability.


Sponsor 7 Q+As with Alice of Clark-Lindsey Retirement Village! Is it too soon for us to live here? Luxury, service, ambiance… way better than home!
I am grateful for so many things — family, health, friends, interesting work, freedom, civil rights, security, hope and love.
This woman is so accomplished and yet she recognizes the modest achievements of others. She is not judgmental, a good listener, and absolutely trustworthy. No one could have a better friend.
There have been so many perfect days. But there is one I will never forget. We (my husband and I) were in Paradise Bay in Antarctic. It was a perfect sunny day and we were in a very small boat surrounded by ice (glaciers, ice falls, icebergs) and absolute silence except for the sounds of the ice. I had never had such an experience and haven't since. I think it changed my life to know there is a peace that comes from silence and incredible beauty.
My mother was an inspiration in every aspect of my life. She believed in me and told me I could do anything I wanted to do. She taught me work, self-confidence, and not letting fear control my actions led to successful goals.
I love life, people, and nature. I am eager to learn and rarely put limits on myself.
Each woman is unique and what they contribute must come from them. For some rearing children who make contributions to society and for others it is being socially or politically actives. For others it is volunteering. All these contributions are important for our world.
To be honest, I am not afraid of much anymore. I think as one ages, fear becomes less a part of our lives and our thinking. I do what I want (with constrains of physical and health issues of loved ones).


We've had a great run at the Somerville Theater. The staff has been incredible and I can't thank them enough for helping us get started. You're the Expert has definitely outgrown the size of our small performance space there though. Our last show sold out in less than ten minutes and had a 50 person wait list!
We're all excited to move to our new home, a much larger space at OBERON. Their theater can accomodate all our loyal fans as well as anyone who hasn't had a chance to see the show live yet. The Somerville Theater will always have a special place in my heart though. If you haven't seen a movie there and then checked out the Museum of Bad Art, you haven't truly lived.

34006 Bude's new Tender
A new tender has been constructed for the lines Bulleid Pacific 34006 Bude. It has been outshopped in the same Malachite green as the engine and has BRITISH RAILWAYS on the side as opposed to SOUTHERN, as so to fit in with the engine's features (extended smokedeflectors, and BR numbering. The tender is to be delievered to the West Sussex Railway's Hillbrow Junction works where it will be fitted to the engine, which is there currently ready for their Southern Gala on April 6th.
In other news, the railway has acquired two LMS Stanier P3 coaches, which will run with the Ivatt 4mt on specified weekends. Also, the lines Lochgorm tank "Highland Terrier" new build is progressing. It is hoped that the engine will be complete by the summer.


It's that time of year, fashion week. My dream is to look as chic as Giovanna, but I will end up looking like Britney Spears on a bad day. What I'd really like to know, however, is if anyone has recommendations for exhibits, new shops/neighborhoods and restaurants!!
I am a woman of routine so I always end up at favorites—Locande Verde, Gramercy Tavern, Pearl Oyster Bar, ABC Kitchen, Spotted Pig and Otto. I know, I am boring. And the only reason I don't like hole-in-the-wall places is because I need a decent glass/bottle of wine with my meal.
A coworker just went to the new Whitney and recommends it, I will definitely go to the Met, have any of you seen that sneaker exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum?
I might try to see Hamilton, I really wanted to see The Curious Incident before the lead leaves, but I get in on the day of his last performance—boo! I saw it in London and LOOOOOOVED it.
Also any neighborhoods that are dense with shops, I always go to the same places.

Central Valley Environmental continues demolishing the Liberal Arts Building on Oct. 24. The demolition process should finish and the construction process begins August 2019.
The discovery of hazardous products on the foundation of the old Health Sciences Building in recent weeks stalled its demolition until removal was complete creating a delay on demolishing the building and its companion, the Liberal Arts Building.
But once the dangerous waste was out of the way, the demolition has continued as planned. Currently, the Health Sciences Building is completely demolished, and the Liberal Arts Building is half gone.
According to the Mesothelioma Justice Network, thermal paper was often used to insulate pipes, machine gaskets and in electrical insulation. It was also commonly used as a backing for fiberboard. Before the 1980s, a lot of thermal paper was made using asbestos.
The construction of a new science complex will be completed in three phases — 1) the demolition of the old building; 2) the labeling of the terrain for the new foundation; and 3) the construction of the building.
The new building, yet to be officially named, is expected to be ready for occupancy in 2023.
Plans to demolish the Health Sciences and Liberal Arts buildings were tailored to be least intrusive to student's daily activities. This method involves various demolition machinery, mainly a hammer and a crusher. The hammer loosens up big pieces of concrete and the crusher pulverizes the concrete preventing debris from flying around and hurting bystanders.
While these machines are doing their job, construction workers can be seen spraying water on the affected areas to reduce the dust.
Even though the demolition workers have encountered some problems such as the breakdown of three hammerheads, the demolition must be completed no later than Jan. 15. But according to scheduling and their current pace, they hope to be done by the end of November.
After the demolition is complete, the science building project will be submitted into a bidding process with general contractors in order to choose the company that will grade the terrain to get it ready for the foundation of the building to be constructed.
The deadline for results from the bidding must be submitted by Dec. 12.
This part of the process is expected to tricky for the construction workers because they have to work in the rainy season.
Once the utilities are installed, the project will be submitted for bid again in order to contract with the company that will do the actual construction of the new science building.
The construction phase of the project is expected to begin in August 2019.
I am confused by what they are calling 'thermal paper' here. The thermal paper we are most familiar with is the type of papers we see as POS receipts and chicken labels. At no time since that product was created has it ever contained asbestos. NEVER. Earlier versions of thermal imaging papers from the 1950's and 1960's used metallic salts but they were rather expensive and rare. They were never used as pipe insulation. NEVER. Maybe this is heat resistance paper?

Yellowcard to release new album
Norman van den Wildenberg | August 27, 2014 | Release | No Comments
For their seventh studio album, Lift a Sail, Yellowcard had a simple but ambitious goal: to outdo everything they'd ever done before. The guitars and drums had to hit harder; the songwriting had to cut deeper; the choruses had to reach heights only hinted at on their previous outings. Frontman Ryan Key believes he and his bandmates—guitarist Ryan Mendez, violinist Sean Mackin, bassist Josh Portman and guest drummer Nate Young (Anberlin)—succeeded on all those fronts. "We really feel like we got where we wanted to be, and made a proper rock 'n' roll record," Key says proudly.
Recorded with longtime producer Neal Avron at The Casita, his studio in Los Angeles, Lift a Sail is Yellowcard's first album for Razor & Tie and by far their most dynamic, full of massive rock anthems and haunting ballads shot through with Mackin's evocative violin and string arrangements. Young, who recorded his drum tracks at East West Studios, gives songs like "Transmission Home" an extra hard rock kick, over which Ryan Mendez' guitars have never churned with more intensity.
' Lift a Sail' will be released Oktober 7th.

| Break the Chain: Rosh Hashanah Theme 5783 |
By Jen Gerwirtz | September 20, 2022
I could never explain myself so I was always convinced that someone was mad at me
emember when?"
Those two words bring up a lot of distress for me. Mostly because I can't. Memory is selective, and the memories I draw on most are of being the peacemaker. Had you seen me as a tween, you would have deduced that I was happy-go-lucky. The "Baruch Hashemer," if you will.
My mantras included: "Great! Great!" It was always great. And: "AMAAAZING!" It was always amazing. And the all-time favorite: "No Worries." Except it wasn't great, nor amazing, and there were many, many worries.
As a kid, negative feelings were a no-no. "Ach, why are you upset? Snap out of it." And, "Stop being mad, make shalom."
I could have cried very easily, because many things made me sad: Someone making fun of me (I was the epitome of "your mother dressed you funny" — apparently even the saleslady at Alexanders department store couldn't convince my mother that the mauve paisley blouse didn't go with a red-and-white checked skirt); being left out (I was only chosen for things like dodgeball because my small size made it harder to hit me); and mostly, being misunderstood.
I could never explain myself so I was always convinced that someone was mad at me. Nothing aggravated me more than being misunderstood and having someone be mad at me unfairly.
Especially my father. Daddy was a hardworking man. Handsome, athletic, skilled, and in my eyes, the wisest human in the world. With one sister who rebelled against the rules, and another with special needs, my birth brought him enormous joy and me a huge burden of responsibility.
My father grew up in Europe, impoverished, and, as the chubby middle child, often ignored or mocked. His life didn't get easier with marriage: his first wife was committed to an asylum following her postpartum psychosis after their first child was born. (The 60s had a lot to learn about dealing with mental health and removing the stigma. We learned that she was put in a mental asylum only at his shivah; until then we were told her absence was because she died during childbirth.)
Daddy suffered. He didn't speak about it, but we knew. So, how could I cry over something as small as being left out?
To add to the stress, it was almost impossible to read his mood when he came home. To be sure, it wasn't a good mood. He was silent, and he glared, either sad, or angry, or frustrated. I made it my business to figure out what made Daddy upset and how I could cheer him up. I knew it was up to me. Certainly, my sister and brother couldn't help.
"So, your father never cried?" my friend once asked.
"Well, legend has it that he cried when he heard that my cousin was killed in a car accident." But even that was a rumor.
I grew up feeling very bad about feeling. Crying or expressing emotion was so verboten in my house that when a classmate passed away in tenth grade, I couldn't process it. I went as far as laughing at the funeral to prevent myself from shedding tears. When I did cry, it was always in private, and always painful, never cathartic. Crying filled me with shame. I washed my face immediately.
The cycle continued. As a mother, I got impatient when my kids told me how they felt. Their crying made me uncomfortable. Don't get me wrong. I was a mama bear when it came to defending them. But a stiff upper lip was the preferred pose.
Fast forward to 2019, which was a very difficult year for me. I fondly refer to it as my year of Gehinnom. Following in the footsteps of my father, I didn't share the reason for my pain. I tried therapy but the voice of my father kept saying, "That's what is upsetting you?" I felt shame sharing my feelings.
Depression had a hold on me, but being the gam zu l'tovah poster child, I pulled myself out of bed, cooked meals, and did carpool. But I was sad. And just waking up and existing were becoming too much for me.
One Friday night, I couldn't hold it together anymore. I lay on the couch, catatonic and defeated. It wasn't the first time my family saw me sad, but even lows can hit new lows.
My eight-year-old daughter came in, looked at me, and announced, "Mommy, you sit down, and I'll take care of everything. I'll serve and clear up, and don't worry about putting the food away." This from my daughter who usually goes to the couch with a book after the fish.
Sarale's face held a beautiful smile. But her eyes said something else. Was that fear? I rose from my despair long enough to call her over.
"Sarale, are you helping because you want to, or because you're worried about me?"
Sarale assured me that she wanted to take care of the meal, but when I held her gaze, she admitted, "Well, maybe a little."
With strength I didn't know I had, I called my kids over. "Listen up," I said to Sarale and her siblings. They looked nervous, worried that this just might be the point at which their mother cracked.
"Yes. I am sad. And it isn't fair of me to expect you to be a mind reader to understand why I'm sad and worry that maybe there's something you did to cause it. I just want you to know that my happiness isn't your responsibility. It's nice to want to cheer people up, but my moods or facial expressions aren't a puzzle you have to solve.
Sarale's shoulders softened, and she gave a sheepish smile. She was still wary. One can't expect eight years of nonverbal communication issues to be solved in a five-minute monologue. But a dent was made. She did help with the meal, though not quite from soup to nuts. That was fine. The important thing is that she was more relaxed.
The healing came slowly. We talked more about feelings in our house. When my oldest son confided in me that he was dealing with a lot of anxiety during certain parts of the day, instead of sticking a baruch Hashem label on it with a sprinkling of gam zu l'tovah — while being unable to internalize the reality —we talked about it. Wading through the feelings, not running away, became more comfortable. As a wise friend once taught me, "The only way out is through."
That summer, we visited Sarale in camp. When the announcement came that visiting day was almost over, Sarale looked up and mumbled, "Well, I guess I have to find something to distract myself with when you leave. I get really anxious."
I looked at her, the question or? hanging.
Sarale rolled her eyes. "Or, I can feel my feelings," she said, smiling. "Are you happy now?"
I wish someone had told a little girl 40 years earlier the lesson my little girl learned: feelings aren't scary or shameful. But I'm pretty sure she finally learned it one Friday night in 2019.

We take the view that teacher autonomy incorporates three important facets: (1) autonomous self-directed professional development for teachers; (2) theoretical and practical knowledge related to promoting autonomy in learners; and (3) professional freedom to choose methods and materials for teaching / advising language learners (within reasonable institutional and context-specific constraints). We are particularly interested in exploring ways to help teachers to develop effective practices for fostering learner autonomy in learners. If you are interested in proposing a related project, please get in touch.

untitled 1972 acrylic on canvas 37.5 x 57"
Julius Wasserstein
Art Forum, July 1962 review:
Abstraction or action painting as a technique in itself no longer necessarily equals "art". IN Pollock or de Kooning, artists that cannot be pinned down to either the figurative or abstract camp, we have two giant minds whose separate daring explorations have added new dimensions to our existence. It is this then, that is both the meaning and the context of their work. The division of art into figurative and non-figurative is a trap which conceals the essential …the means becomes more important than the content.
Julius Wasserstein falls into a similar trap. He is an action painter "par excellence," who demonstrates his enormous control over his technique like a superb athlete. Beautiful velvet black brush strokes, luscious clots of paints spontaneous scribbles dug inot the paint surface, elegant flourishes, deadly slashes: all demonstrate that he has learned his lessons well. What originally, some twenty years ago, arose out of an agony of double he does with ease and assurance. J.C.

Were Traditional Afrikan Societies patriarchal or matriarchal?
Today's blog is motivated by a short piece I read by Wesley Muhammed. He stated that he believed in Afrikan patriarchy and that matriarchy never existed in Afrika. He noted that Afrikan patriarchy differed from Northern cradle or Eurasian patriarchy. The brother's point is well taken and I have demonstrated as much in my book Distorted Truths.
The word matriarchy is defined as 1) a family, society, or state governed by women 2) a form of social organization in which the mother is head of the family and descent is reckoned in the female line. (This latter definition actually combines matriarchy and matrilineality, however, the two are mutually exclusive.) The concept matriarchy is tried to the larger concept of Matriarchate, which was a hypothetical stage in the evolution of a society in which authority is held by women. In 19th century Western scholarship, this idea was popularized by Swiss legal historian and antiquarian Johann Jakob Bachofen. He theorized that all human societies passed through stages of barbarism and sexual promiscuity, matriarchy, and then patriarchy. Patriarchy was considered the most civilized state, while he viewed matriarchy, incorrectly identified with Afrikan society, as less civilized. American ethnologist and jurist Lewis Henry Morgan and German philosopher Frederick Engels later supported his theory. Senegalese Egyptologist, historian, scientist, and linguist Cheikh Anta Diop challenged these theorists and as a result introduced his Two Cradle Theory. However, Diop defined matriarchy as ". . . not an absolute and cynical triumph of woman over man; it is a harmonious dualism, an association accepted by both sexes, the better to build a sedentary society where each and everyone could fully develop by following the activity best suited to his physiological nature." He provided this definition to distinguish matriarchy from Greek Amazonism. (The latter was a system imposed on men, and according to myth, the males were maimed at birth, thus making them unable to challenge the rulership of the female element.) What Diop is in fact defining is ta system that has a reciprocal sharing of power between the sexes.
Since Diop's embrace of matriarchy other Afrikan scholars have pointed out that what Diop is actually referring to is the concept of matrifocality. Afrikan societies are actually matrifocal, meaning the cultural theme has women or mothers at the center of its worldview/existence. In my book, I identify a society as either hunting, herding, or farming based on the central role these activities occupy in the respective cosmologies. In each culture discussed, these activities are associated with men. We can therefore assume the activity of men define the culture, and in this context, culture is a "masculine" phenomenon. You might assume this to be an example of patriarchy. But these "masculine" activities of men, whether hunting, herding or farming, only derive meaning from the reciprocal and "feminine" characterization of that they act upon, i.e., animals, cattle, and the earth; animals, cattle, and the earth are all considered feminine and are the pivotal and sustaining aspects of the culture. Hence, using a culture's organizational type, be it hunting, herding, or farming, along with the concept of reciprocity/harmony, and we can elicit matrifocality. That the activity of men revolves around what is defined as "feminine," is the reason why Afrikan societies have been identified as "matrifocal" and not matriarchal.
What role do men and women play in matrifocal societies? Men and women are both macrocosms of the sperm and ovum! A woman's role as the chief providers of sustenance in Afrikan societies is based on physiological factors that helped to define her sociological/cultural role. Her ovum's yolk and her breast milk are indices of the feminine function, which led to her cultural role as provider of foods, most often controlling the marketplace. Having offered an explanation of how a woman's role in Afrikan societies is determined, we turn our attention to men who in the vast majority of Afrikan cultures govern. Due to their greater physical strength, did men simply impose themselves upon women? It is possible, but not probable. It appears a man's role is determined by the same factors as a woman's: biology and physiology. The action of his sperm and his greater physical strength and intrepidity, led to his role as head of the society. In actuality, both male and female roles are macrocosms of human biology.
In the sperm-ovum dynamics, the sperm exerts a great effort swimming to a waiting ovum, then penetrating through its protective coating. The sperm's action is analogous to the masculine function. Once conception occurs, though the physiological role of the male fades, his biological function continues, as it is the masculine force that initiates the course of fetal development. A sperm cell is composed of three parts: head, body or middle section, and tail. The tail primarily propels the sperm using energy generated by the body, while the head carrying its genetic material will direct fetal development. After conception, no longer sperm, but as the masculine energy inside the zygote, it continues to function. Thus, the sperm and ovum's actions are expressed in culture in male and female roles. This is a manifestation of the law of reciprocity.
The masculine functions of initiating the reproductive process and initiating fetal development forms the basis of male governance. Reciprocally, the feminine function of housing and nourishing life is the basis of female influence in the production of food. In general, reciprocity further reveals itself in men's influence in the social and political arenas, which is balanced by women's power in the economic and spiritual arenas. Men "head" the village (political), and compound (social), while women are the "heart" of the marketplace (economic) and play a prominent role with the deities (spirituality). However, in all these roles balance governs the relationships and each gender still has a reciprocal voice in each arena.
Another example of the male-female relationship using microcosmicism would be the brain and heart relationship. The brain (male) directs the central nervous system administering, regulating, and coordinating bodily functions, while the heart (female) via the blood provides sustenance and sustainability. (Again we see that like in the case of the ovum, the feminine is responsible for sustenance. And in all Afrikan societies women provide the bulk of the food) Through the brain provides the heart with the impulses to beat, the brain would be unable to do so if not feed by the heart. In this way, the brain and heart reflect the relationship between man and woman in society. In essence, men are the heads of the family (and society), while women are its heart.
Is this patriarchy? What ever it is, it is what it is, LOL.
Excellent article! Very insightful and helpful.
