Christopher Charles Humphrey (born 19 September 1987 in Saint Catherine) is a Jamaican professional footballer and coach. He currently plays for Garstang FC who play in the North West Counties.
Humphrey has played for several clubs in the United Kingdom, including English clubs Shrewsbury Town, Preston North End and Bury, and Scottish clubs Motherwell and Hibernian. He also played for  the Jamaica national team in 12 matches, having made his full international debut in 2012. Humphrey announced his retirement from football in October 2018, due to ongoing injury problems before returning to the game with East Kilbride. Humphrey took over as player/manager of Lowland League side Gretna 2008 but was sacked in November 2019.}

Career
Born in Jamaica before moving to Walsall at the age of 5, Humphrey was at Walsall's Centre of Excellence until he joined West Bromwich Albion.

Shrewsbury Town
After playing in a reserve team match against Shrewsbury Town on 4 September 2006, Shrewsbury manager Gary Peters was impressed by Humphrey's performance and inquired about his availability, discovering that he was out of contract. Two days later Humphrey had signed for Shrewsbury on a free transfer until the end of the 2006–07 season, with Peters joking that he had kidnapped Humphrey.

Three days after signing, on 9 September, Humphrey made his debut as a 79th-minute substitute for Ben Herd in a 1–0 home defeat to Lincoln City. On 8 February 2007, and having made nine substitute appearances, Humphrey's progress had pleased Peters sufficiently to earn him a one-year contract extension until summer 2008.

In his first season, he made a total of 14 league appearances for Shrewsbury, all but one as a substitute. Humphrey played for Shrewsbury, as a late second-half substitute, in the 2007 Football League Two play-off Final. Shrewsbury lost 3–1 to Bristol Rovers at Wembley. A mistake was made on his shirt, spelling his surname as "Humphery".

After making three league and three cup appearances in the early part of the 2007–08 season Humphrey joined Conference National side Stafford Rangers on 2 November 2007 on loan for a month, playing four games. On 25 January 2008, his contract was extended by another year, until the end of the 2008–09 season.

He scored his first goal on 25 October 2008, two minutes after coming on as a 78th-minute substitute for Shane Cansdell-Sherriff to earn Shrewsbury a 1–1 draw with Brentford at Griffin Park. Late in the January 2009 transfer window, and with Humphrey about to be out of contract in summer, it was claimed that he had attracted the interest of various clubs, including Aston Villa, following a number of eye-catching performances that season. On 2 May, Humphrey set up one goal and scored another as Shrewsbury beat Dagenham & Redbridge 2–1 to ensure the Shrews finished in seventh place in League Two, the fourth and final play-off spot.

On 23 May 2009, Humphrey played for Shrewsbury in the League Two play-off Final at Wembley, which they lost 1–0 to Gillingham. Shortly after the play-off, Humphrey was offered a new contract by the club. On 25 June 2009, Sky Sports claimed that Shrewsbury had turned down a bid for Humphrey by Championship side Blackpool. On 3 July, Shrews manager Paul Simpson confirmed the Blackpool approach. The contract was soon stalled, as Humphrey was in favour of joining Scottish Premier League club Motherwell.

Motherwell
On 15 July 2009, Motherwell announced Humphrey as new manager Jim Gannon's second signing of the summer. Humphrey stated he was delighted to have made the move, hoping it would make him a better player. The chance to play in Europe was one of his main reasons for joining Motherwell.

On 23 July 2009, Humphrey made his debut for the club, starting in the second round of the Europa League in an 8–1 second leg win over Flamurtari Vlorë, giving Motherwell an 8–2 aggregate win. His league debut for the club came on the opening day of the season, as a half-time substitute, in a 2–2 draw against St Johnstone. In September 2009 after Humphrey and his partner suffered personal tragedy, Motherwell gave him several weeks' compassionate leave. On his return Humphrey was keen to show his gratitude to his manager and the club for the support they gave him. Shortly afterwards Humphrey picked up an injury that left him sidelined for several weeks. Having found it difficult to gain a regular place in the team, the January transfer window saw a number of English clubs linked with a loan move for Humphrey. Nothing came of the interest and Humphrey continued to be in and out of the team for the rest of the season.

After Jim O'Brien moved to Barnsley in 2010, Humphrey began to play more regularly for the first team. In the Europa League third round against Aalesunds FK, Humphrey played a key role, providing an assist in both legs helping 'Well ease into to the next round. Having begun to nail down a regular place in the team, Humphrey scored his first goal for Motherwell, just three minutes into a 3–1 win against St Mirren. On 28 January 2011, Humphrey was offered a one-year extension to his contract, an offer he was delighted to accept. A few months later, on 30 March 2011, he scored his second goal of the season, in a Scottish Cup quarter-final replay against Dundee United, which Motherwell won 3–0 to send the club through to the semi-final. Days later, he scored his third goal of the season, in a 2–1 win over Aberdeen. Having previously gone 28 games without scoring, Humphrey incredibly made it 3 goals in 3 games when he scored against Dundee United in a 2–1 league win. In the final of the Scottish Cup, Humphrey started as Motherwell lost 3–0 against Celtic. After the match, Humphrey stated his disappointment at the loss, but praised his teammates and the fans.

In the 2011–12 season, Humphrey continued to retain his first team place and scored his first goal of the season, in a 4–2 win over Dunfermline Athletic on 27 August 2011. During the season, Humphrey would again find himself linked with several English clubs. As with previous links, no move would materialise and Humphrey would once again see out the season with Motherwell. On 24 January 2012, he scored his second goal of the season, Dunfermline Athletic the victims again, in a 3–1 win for Motherwell. At the end of the season, Motherwell finished in third place. This gave the club qualification to the Champions League qualifying rounds, due to second placed Rangers being in administration, preventing them from taking part.

In the 2012–13 season, Humphrey would again play European football, featuring in a 2–0 loss against Greek side Panathinaikos in the first leg of the 2012–13 UEFA Champions League third qualifying round and in both legs of the 2012–13 UEFA Europa League play-off round against Spanish side Levante. In the summer transfer window, he was linked with a move to Celtic. The move however never materialised. On 27 November 2012, he scored his first goal of the season, a stunner, in a 2–1 win over Dundee United. Towards the end of the season, Humphrey's contract with the club was set to expire. He stated he would be happy to stay at the club. On 27 February 2013, Humphery scored again, this time against Celtic, helping to earn the club a 2–1 win. Motherwell would finish the season in second place in the league, qualifying for Europe again. On 12 May 2013, Humphrey scored and set up a goal for James McFadden, as Motherwell won 2–0 against Ross County. At the end of the season, Humphrey was offered a new contract with the club.

Preston North End
On 4 June 2013, it was announced that Humphrey would be leaving Motherwell to join Preston North End on a three-year contract. Humphrey said he had turned down an offer from Rangers to join Preston. Manager Craig Brown, who managed Humphrey during his time at Motherwell, told Evening Post that Humphrey will be a good signing for Preston.

Humphrey made his debut in the opening game of the season, where he made his first start, playing in the right wing position, as Preston drew 0–0 with Wolves. Three weeks later, on 25 August 2013, Humphrey scored his first goal for the club after coming on as a substitute in the second half, where he scored in injury time against Coventry City to make it 4–3 to Preston. However, a minute later, Coventry City scored another goal in injury time to make it 4–4. After the match, Humphrey said that he was happy to score his first goal, though disappointed with the results. He also scored in the following game, a 3–0 victory against Walsall. Humphrey immediately became a regular player in the Preston first team. On 8 March 2014 he scored his first goal of 2014, in a 3–1 win over Oldham Athletic. That goal was disputed as it was also claimed by teammate Keith Keane.

Humphrey continued to play regularly for Preston during 2013–14 and 2014–15, and the club gained promotion from League One to the Championship in the latter season. Humphrey featured less frequently in the team when it was in the Championship, and he left Preston North End on 30 December 2016 when his contract was terminated by mutual consent.

Hibernian
Humphrey returned to Scottish football on 31 December 2016, signing a contract with Championship club Hibernian until the end of the 2016–17 season. He made his first appearance for Hibs on 6 January, assisting the first two goals in a 3–0 win against Dundee United. Humphrey suffered a calf injury in a Scottish Cup tie with Hearts in February, which caused him to miss nine first team matches. Humphrey left Hibs at the end of the season and indicated that he was likely to return to English football.

Bury & Barrow Loan
Humphrey signed a one-year contract with Bury in June 2017. He was released by Bury at the end of the 2017–18 season. During his time at bury he had a loan spell at Barrow AFC but only appeared the once.

Humphrey announced his retirement from football in October 2018, due to ongoing injury problems.

East Kilbride
Humphrey had a change of heart and came out of retirement to play for East Kilbride. EK went on to win the Lowland League during the 2018-19 season.

Gretna 2008
Humphrey made his first step into management with Gretna 2008 but was sacked on 30 November 2019.

Kelty Hearts
Humphrey signed for Kelty Hearts as a player on 10 December 2019. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Kelty were declared Lowland League champions on 13 April 2020 on a points per game average based on the current standings.

Kendal Town
Humphrey was appointed as Kendal Town manager on 23 July 2020.
He left the position on 21 October 2021 and joined Penrith A.F.C. in the Northern Football League, one division lower.

International career
Impressive performances early in the 2010–11 season saw him linked with selection for the Scotland national football team. Humphrey would be eligible to play for Scotland because his mother was born in Kilmarnock. No call-up was forthcoming though. Humphrey was given a call-up to the Jamaica squad in 2011, but passport issues prevented him from playing. He was given another call-up a year later and made his debut in a 1–0 defeat to Panama. Humphrey made a second appearance against Panama, but was then dropped from the squad for breaking a curfew.

Personal life
Humphrey was to become a father for the first time. However, the child died during birth. Following Motherwell's qualification to the Champions League in May 2012, he became a father again after his wife gave birth to a boy.

These earrings are huge, oversized and yet light weight. Each one is hand crafted, and hand finished by me. If you love big earrings, and you love hoops, these are the earrings for you.
The earrings, pictured have a hammered finish done in an ethnic tribal style.
Because each earring is individually hand crafted, yours will vary slightly from the photograph. Like all my metal jewelry each piece is stamped with my maker's mark.

If you're coming over from Inspire to Create at Sew Chic and Unique, welcome! I'm excited to be a part of such a fun event!
I've literally been using the same three bibs for my kids since Wyatt was about 1. He's now 3. And Weston's now 1. Everytime I look at those bibs, I can't believe that I'm still using them and feel guilty that I haven't gotten around to making some new ones. The velcro doesn't stick very good anymore, and since Weston's favorite dinner-time activity is to rip the bib off and throw it on the floor (I know all you moms can feel my pain, right?), it's finally time for a change :).
I remember my mom making bibs out of hand towels for all the grandkids to wear, and I've tweaked that idea a bit to add "sleeves" and an optional pocket to the bibs. They're easy, they're fast to make, and the best part is that they work!
So go and find yourself some hand towels, and let's get started!
1. Using a bowl or other object approximately 5-6″ in diameter, trace a circle in the middle of the towel, 6″ from one end. I know, white is not a smart choice for a bib, but I had the towel on hand (obviously shoved in my sewing stash), so I thought I'd use it as a tester :).
2. Place knit right sides together, matching short ends, and stitch in place using a 1/4″ seam allowance.
3. Turn knit right side out and fold in half , matching raw edges.
4. Baste raw edges together. This will be the collar.
5. Mark middle of collar by folding in half at seam. Use these marks to evenly pin collar to circle, with the folded edge towards the outer edges of the bib.
6. Stitch collar to towel, keeping your stitch line just outside of your traced circle.
7. Carefully cut away inner circle of towel. Note: If you have a serger, you can leave a little excess towel seam allowance. If you do not have a serger, cut the towel seam allowance to match the collar seam allowance.
8. Finish inside collar seam allowance by serging raw edges or using a zig zag stitch.
9. To form sleeves, turn bib front toward bib back, folding at the mid-point of the collar. Stitch lines approximately 1″ long along side edge on each side of bib back to secure sleeve openings.
10. To form optional pocket, fold bottom edge of front side of bib upward approximately 3-4″. Stitch in place along edges of bib. Note: As pictured, you may need to stitch 3/4″ or so in from edge if the fabric along the edge is too thick to stitch through.
Make a few — your kids will love not having a scratchy plastic bib on their necks.
…And you'll love the bib staying on your little ones :).
I'll be linking to some of these fabulous linky parties!
I love this! SO practical!
Awesome! My little monsters, I mean darlings, totally need these.
Becca likes to rip her bibs off too.:) Great idea. I love that you added sleeves and a pocket.
This is SUCH a cute idea, and the towel bibs are my favorite. Thanks so much for teaching me how to make it on my own!
This is great… the towel.. the pocket… it's perfect! Thanks so much, I'll be linking.
I just made a couple of these. I have a snap press so I put plastic (diaper-quality) snaps under the arms as it makes it easier to take off. In addition, I added snaps to create the pocket on the front so I can unsnap it for cleaning or to cover my son's lap even more. I found some CUTE towels at Target that are red velvet and are embroidered to look like Santa's belly. Some black ribbing and, voila! Christmas bibs! Thanks so very much for your tutorial!!!!
Great idea! I can't wait to make some of my own, Thank You!
I made 6 of these last night, what great bibs!!! I am forever changing my girls clothes after meals because they get food everywhere. I added snaps instead of sewing the sleeves and pockets and its great.
Excellent info , I really like this kind of post because I can spend my time in many times, hanks for sharing!
Hi, thank you for sharing. Such a great tutorial! I posted your tutorial on my blog with a link back to your blog, hope it's ok http://makeitandwearit.blogspot.com.au/. Please write me if there is a problem makeandwear@gmail.com.
I had some bibs like this 30 years ago and hung onto a couple. So I could pass to my grandchildren. and here you are with a tutorial. Now I dont have to tear the others apart for patterns. Thanks a million!
I love this tutorial but am having a lot of problems with the fit. I cut my neck trim at 14″ and it to tight my daughter cried when I attempted to pull it over her head. My child's head is small too, less than 19″ (about 10th percentile). I thought I might have the thread tension too tight with the first one so I started a second one and just basted the neck trim together with a wider stitch for more stretch, tried pulling it over her head and it was still too tight. Help me please! I don't usually have this much trouble with projects.
Anne – Did you cut your neck trim so that the length is along the stretchiest direction of the knit? If not, you'll have trouble getting it to stretch big enough to fit over a head. If that's not the issue, you can always cut the neck hole a little larger and add even more length to the neck trim – I'd check the hole to make sure it can fit over the head before you add the trim, and also wrap the knit around your child's head before cutting it to the length you need to make sure it will stretch enough. If you do those two things, it should fit perfect!
Thank you! I'll wrap the knit around her head for measuring. I'm pretty sure I did have the knit going the wrong direction the first time – I was re-purposing material from and outgrown romper. The second time I did have going the right direction because I double checked, figuring that was my problem the first time – I tried to pull it over her head before sewing to the towel and still too tight. The hole in the towel is big enough because I ripped the trip off the first to test the hole in the towel and that went over her head without any problems. If this worked for others with a 12″ length, why didn't work for me even when I had the knit going the right direction? Should I use a bigger/wider stitch or less thread tension? The trim felt like it had plenty of give but was really tight with almost no give at the seam. Thank you!
Hi Anne! I think you're probably right, that you need a wider stitch – just make sure to use a long and wide zigzag stitch and hopefully that will help with the seam not having enough room to stretch! You should be able to keep your tension normal so that your stitches are still strong. Good luck!

The 'Fool's Cap' map of the world: Exploring critical cosmopolitanism through cartographic critique
Alison Hulme
Economics, Intl Relations & Development
Researchers (1)
The 'Fool's Cap' map of the world is thought to date from the late sixteenth century and is often attributed to a little-known Christian sect called the Familists. It places a map of the world in the place of a face inside a jester's cap, playing upon the subversive figure of the jester and his ability to ridicule those in control. The Familists were cosmopolitan and valued the idea of the world citizen, but insisted upon self-reflection, in ways not dissimilar to contemporary scholars of 'critical cosmopolitan'. This article makes a case for viewing the Familists' thinking as an early form of critical cosmopolitanism – critiquing its own culture whilst maintaining belief in what constitutes a good ethical world citizen. It engages with the debates forged by thinkers such as Martha Nussbaum and Gerard Delanty, and links these to the idea of emancipatory potential of globalization advanced by Leslie Sklair.

It places a map of the world in the place of a face inside a jester's cap, playing upon the subversive figure of the jester and his ability to ridicule those in control. The Familists were cosmopolitan and valued the idea of the world citizen, but insisted upon self-reflection, in ways not dissimilar to contemporary scholars of 'critical cosmopolitan'. This article makes a case for viewing the Familists' thinking as an early form of critical cosmopolitanism – critiquing its own culture whilst maintaining belief in what constitutes a good ethical world citizen. It engages with the debates forged by thinkers such as Martha Nussbaum and Gerard Delanty, and links these to the idea of emancipatory potential of globalization advanced by Leslie Sklair.

Developing test cases is one of the very first steps taken in testing, before any testing is actually done. And the quality of the cases developed will have a strong influence on the success of the testing cycle. This is why it is important to know how to write test cases that will lead to a successful outcome. And so, executing quality test cases is a vital element in software testing. This is why knowing how to write effective test cases is so very important. It's a matter of following the principles involved.
The concept of the test case is simple enough to understand. It is merely a list of actions designed to test a particular feature or function of the application being tested. It nevertheless has to be communicated not only to the testers, but to any other relevant stakeholders as well. This is why it's a good idea to name your test cases in a way that is easily understandable to anyone who is going to refer to them. The name should not be obscure or use letter and number combinations that require looking up the test in some logbook. Rather it's best to reference the function or module in the name itself. Remember, keep it simple when naming test cases.
Test cases should also be maintainable in the face of changes. Changing requirements should not require the reworking of a larger number of test cases. Part of this is ensuring that no test cases have unnecessary steps. All steps should be necessary and needed. It's possible to lose focus if there are too many steps and it's also possible that a large number of steps can cause the test case to become invalid in the face of changing requirements. There is such a thing as too much detail and test cases should be adaptable as requirements change.
Also, testing scenarios should not cover more than one function at a time. There should be a single expected result and not a multitude of results for a given scenario. And it's also important to make certain that the test case is traceable, because this will help ensure 100% coverage for all requirements and keep a record of who performed what test.
Test cases should be easy to understand. Steps should be carefully delineated and specific so that testers can easily perform them and one tester can, if necessary, pick up where another tester left off. Consequently, the more the test case is self explanatory and its scope and purpose is clearly detailed, with all test data specified, the easier it is for testers to perform and the faster the testing lifecycle can be completed.
Competent test case writing can lower testing costs and technical support costs over the lifetime of the product by making sure that releases function fully and do not accidentally turned users into beta testers. In this sense it also ensures that the application under test conforms to all necessary regulations, especially with regard to accessibility. It can also measure performance from the user's perspective, such as how entertaining a game might be or how easy the software interface is to use.
Test case scenarios can also assess the quality of application in a three dimensional way that goes beyond module functionality. It can determine how loss of data or poor data processing can affect operations and influence safety concerns as well as how well the application fits into the data environment. In short, quality test case scenarios can enhance reliability by pointing to those areas that may require ad hoc testing. In this way the quality of the product can be assured and its correctness in relation to documentation can be determined.
This is why it is important to develop tests that are as powerful as possible, in the sense that they can look for and find the most important bugs while yielding results that enable a successful release and are important to stakeholders. This means that ad hoc testers may sometimes need to control their imagination and not wander off into "corner cases" involving subjecting the application to things that people would never do. This is another reason why it is important to have skilled testers. If you set up your tests to evaluate performance within rational parameters, it then becomes easier to push the edge of the envelope in ad hoc testing as those edges have been clearly established.
Well written test cases can do more than just finding defects. They can keep products from being shipped prematurely by finding crash level bugs, and they can help managers decide when to ship by providing data regarding known problems. They can also show how much of the product has been covered by testing and whether or not problems, which may have appeared significant, can actually be easily dealt with. Quality testing is more than just maximizing the bug count. It is a part of the development cycle that has important influence in a number of areas. Quality testing shows that performance conforms to specifications, that the application can function within the intended environment and will not crash when confronted with wrong input or high demands.
When writing test cases you should keep in mind that testing primarily exists to reduce uncertainty. In this sense, we learn from every test we do. We learn whether the program passes or fails. Passing increases confidence and moves the application closer to release, while failure reveals faults that we didn't know were there, we learn in either case. So test case design should lead toward those tests which most readily increase certainty.
There is no simple paint by numbers way to write test cases. It would be nice if there was a formula or series of formulas that, when followed, would always yield precise results. The tendency is to stick to a small variety of tests. While this can lead to predictable results, it must be remembered that no particular batch of tests will cover every contingency. It is always best to use a wide number of techniques to ensure the best possible results.


So what now? Well, time to get cracking on the music again - finally! I have a meeting about making a new video very soon, so I'm really looking forward to seeing what comes out of that.
We have managed to squeeze in a couple of new experiences recently, (Krav Maga lessons, anyone? How about some rock climbing?) and I have also learned a lot of DIY skills whilst finishing off a house refurb. It really is a good feeling learning something new and finishing a day knowing you can do something you previously didn't think you could.
One word of advice... Do NOT get expanding foam sealant on your hands and if you do, DO NOT wash it off with water before it has set! Four days to get it off my skin, two weeks and counting for getting it all off my nails. I look like I have some sort if nail infection - not a great look!
Take care (especially when doing DIY).


If you are making an entry in a patient's records after an event, do not back-date it; you should clearly mark it as a "late entry" using the date and time at which the entry is actually made, and referring back to the date and time of the event the notes are about. Include the reason why the entry is being made retrospectively.
Any attempt to pass off a late entry as a contemporaneous note could, if discovered, attract serious criticism, including a finding of unprofessional conduct by the HPCSA or censure by the courts. Do not be tempted, if you find yourself facing allegations of negligence, to augment or alter the original contemporaneous notes. This not only amounts to unethical conduct, but will almost certainly make your case difficult to defend. If the plaintiff's solicitors suspect that you have retrospectively altered the records, they can generally find proof of it by employing forensic experts to examine the ink and paper or by examining the audit trail of computerised records.
If you need to add further information relating to a specific situation or event that was recorded in the notes earlier, include it as an addendum. Enter the current date and time and write "Addendum to entry made on [date and time]", followed by the reason for adding an addendum and the information you wish to add.


Toronto, Canada (February 7, 2017) - Mammoth Resources Corp. (TSX-V: MTH), (the "Company") would like to announce that it intends to proceed with a non-brokered private placement of up to 1.875 million units of the Company (the "Units") at an offering price of $0.08 per Unit, for gross proceeds of up to $150,000 (the "Private Placement"). Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company (a "Common Share") and one common share purchase warrant (the "Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one Common Share until 18 months following closing of the private placement, at an exercise price of $0.12. The Company has set no minimum number of Units to be distributed and no minimum dollar amount required to be raised in connection with the Private Placement.
The gross proceeds of the Private Placement will be used to advance exploration activities and some minor working capital and general corporate expenses, exploration activities to include mechanical trenching and construction of access to facilitate drilling plus some in-fill mapping and sampling on the recently announced PIMA geochemical sampling program. In the event of an oversubscription to the Private Placement, the company may seek TSX Venture Exchange approval for such oversubscription or may allocate Units on a pro-rata basis to subscribers.
The Private Placement will be conducted in reliance upon British Columbia Instrument 45-534 (the "Instrument"), which permits an issuer to distribute securities to its existing shareholders, subject to the terms of the instrument. The TSX Venture Exchange has granted conditional approval for this Private Placement. The Company has set February 6, 2017, as the record date for the purpose of determining existing shareholders of the Company who are entitled to purchase Units under the Private Placement. The TSX Venture Exchange has granted conditional approval for this Private Placement. This exemption is not available to shareholders resident in Ontario or Newfoundland, or jurisdictions outside of Canada. The Company may combine the offering under the instrument with other available prospectus exemptions, including sales to accredited investors.
The securities issued pursuant to the Private Placement will be subject to a four-month hold period. The company may pay finders' fees of cash and/or securities on a portion of the Private Placement.


One hit is all you need for a homerun – curio & co.
Sometimes one song says it all.
Though sometimes dismissed as failures, one-hit-wonders demand respect. Finding the right combination of lyrics, melody and timing to garner a hit can be like catching lightning in a bottle. And lightning doesn't always strike twice. Whether they completed one great work and then retired from the spotlight (such as Harper Lee, author of To Kill a Mockingbird) or continued to try to recapture their former glory, one-hit-wonders certainly deserve their place in history. This past Sunday was National One-Hit-Wonder Day, did you celebrate by listening to your favorite?
For many of these songs, their novelty keeps them restricted to a specific time and place. There is certainly no need to build an entire genre around Disco Duck, for example. And sometimes a song perfectly captures a special time in your life – but once it's over you move on and the artist is only recalled to conjure up that time again. And sometimes it may be better to fade away. When a song gets so popular, it may be tempting for an artist to re-write that hit. And there's no honor in being a two-hit-wonder.
We asked around the Curio & Co. office to find out which one-hit-wonders are tops. Margie's favorite is Angel Baby, by Rosie and the Originals (and Margie's rendition is certainly original). Shirley says Brandy (You're a Fine Girl), by Looking Glass, always takes her back. And Louis's favorite is Shrimp Shack by Cap'n Geech and the Shrimp Shack Shooters – but we honestly can't picture him at the beach.


Project Practitioners > Cut those bugs in half!
You have 20 red marbles, all of which weigh the same except for 1 which is 1 ounce lighter. You only have a balance scale and you have to identify which marble is lighter. You are only able to use the scale 4 times. How do you do it with 100% accuracy?
So, when there's a bug in a process and you don't know where is, what do you do? Well, we know we have to isolate what area of the process (or code) it resides, so that we can fix it. Rather than just fish around in what could be thousands of moving parts, the "Rule of Half" will help. All you need to do is isolate the process and half it testing the pieces independently. I realize that this sounds easy and it's not, but it certainly will help to narrow down where the failure doesn't reside. Let's say that we have a process that is 100 steps long. Let's start by looking at step 50 and gauging quality. It we already have a defect, we cut it in half again (now at 25) which will tell us which 12 steps are causing the issue. So, through six iterations of this process, in theory you should be able to identify the individual step causing the failure, because each step has been isolated. I realize that with Software Development that isolating functions is difficult, but using the concept of testing chunks and isolating pieces is a lot easier than starting at the very beginning and going through each step - how much time would be wasted if the error resided at step number 99? I don't know about you, but I would rather be as effective and efficient as possible, so when bug hunting and you have doubt where to start, I say start in the middle, not the beginning!
Although I know you have already figured out that marble brain teaser, I've included a visual to outline how to use that balance scale only 4 times to isolate the weight of every single marble. As long as you follow the branch that weighs more you are guaranteed to know which one is different. Happy Bug Hunting!


In the female golden hamster, Mesocricetus auratus, group housing permits the expression of male-like behavioral patterns including mounting and pelvic thrusting toward an estrous stimulus female. Sixty percent of females housed in groups of five showed these behaviors, while singly housed females were rarely observed to show mounting or thrusting. Females weaned at 19 or 35 days of age did not differ in their tendencies to show male-like behavioral patterns. Virtually all observations of mounting and pelvic thrusting behaviors were made on days when the females being tested were in behavioral estrus. These findings differ from previous studies which have reported that masculine behavioral patterns are rare in normal female hamsters. In previous studies females that were evaluated were typically not in behavioral estrus and were not housed for long periods of time with other intact females. Social factors interact with hormonal state to contribute to the expression of male-like behaviors in female hamsters.


The "Annette" skirt will be sure to make you stand out amongst the crowd! This design is inspired by my favourite era, the 1950's. The skirt is lined with tulle to create volume at the bottom, while having a high waist and hidden pockets for added comfort. It is made from authentic Polish folk fabric from the Tatra Mountains.

Discovering "Devi"
|In Film Reviews, On Movies & Media
On a recommendation from my friend Joshua Wilson, co-host of the art-and-faith podcast See/Hear Brother, I took the Barnes & Noble half-off Criterion sale as an opportunity to gamble on something I haven't seen before: Satyajit Ray's film Devi. And I was not disappointed.
Devi, which arrived only five years after Ray's beloved masterpiece Pather Panchali (which I wrote about here), takes place in bengal in the 19th century. We follow Doya (the dark-eyed and enchanting Sharmila Tagore), a quiet and mysterious young woman whose husband Umaprasad (Soumitra Chatterjee) is away from home to complete his studies (including studies in English). Due to his travels and his studies, Umaprasad is becoming increasingly Western in his ways of thinking, evolving into someone more rational and less superstitious than the traditional and religious community in which he grew up.
Thus he is unsettled to return home and discover that his religiously zealous father (Chhabi Biswas) has had a vision that Doya is an incarnation of the goddess Kali, and has fallen at her feet to worship her. Worse, his brother has followed suit.

Doya is now the center of a roiling storm of religious fanaticism, and their home has become a temple. People are making pilgrimages to worship her and to bring their sick to her for healing. And only Umaprasad's sister-in-law, skeptical and jealous, shares his doubts
Does Doya believe all of this madness? Is it too late to turn back this tide of seeming hysteria?
Here's a movie that's 61 years old, in a language I don't speak, from a culture quite foreign to me, in which a man realizes the waves of death and destruction that can spread when "the faithful" choose to reject the great gifts of science and medicine in healing the sick and instead rely on "thoughts and prayers."
Better to watch something timely, relevant, and relatable, huh?
Umaprasad's alarm. [Image from The Criterion Collection.]
Seriously — though the film immediately immerses me in a context of religious iconography and ritual that I find unsettlingly unfamiliar, I am still drawn in by Ray's love of reverent close-ups and his attentiveness to the intelligence and the emotions of people who speak softly and sparingly. He might have made this a movie that makes fun of the irrational extremes to which religious faith can lead its believers. But instead, by shifting back and forth between the skeptical and troubled gaze of Umaprasad, looking down at his diminutive wife at the center of a ceremonial storm, and the upward-gazing adoration of Umaprasad's awestruck father, he draws us into the complicated silences of Doya, who is both enchanted by the waves of attention and adoration and terrified of where it all might lead.
We're left to make up our own minds, aching for Doya in her bewilderment, sharing Umaprasad's dread, and recognizing more than we might have anticipated about the whole scenario.
Doya's trance. Umaprasad's alarm. [Image from The Criterion Collection.]
She is right to be terrified. We can feel things begin to spiral out of control, and the film's abrupt conclusion leaves us to imagine just how much worse things will get.
This is quite a discovery for me, and one that I may write into the syllabus of my "Film & Faith" course at Seattle Pacific University. It's rare that I buy a blu-ray of a film I've never seen, but something — probably my love for Pather Panchali — persuaded me that this would be worth the investment. I'm confident it will be even more rewarding in subsequent viewings, and its unanswered questions are going to haunt me for a long time to come.
For a deeper dive, read Devika Girish's essay for The Criterion Collection.
