Seven Questions for Sarah Lum, Interaction Designer
Hubber and interaction designer SARAH LUM recently led a cross-country, five-week design sprint to understand cultures around undocumented immigrants, refugees, and Muslims. Here's what she said about that experience and how we as a community can show up for each other.
Tell me about your work.
I am an interaction designer, previously an educator who traveled the world for 3+ years and 23 countries asking, "What is a meaningful life?"
Interaction designers are culture adaptors, integrators, and makers. We zoom in and zoom out, learning ecosystems of places, products, services. The core of design reflects our listening and feeling for pain points throughout an experience alongside our users. We ask, "Why is this happening? How can we collectively make systemic changes while knowing that we can't solve it all at once?"
Then we translate listening into system changes, products, digital and non-digital. My barometer of progress is, "Am I asking better questions?" Currently, I'm a fellow with Spiritual Ecology based in Marin that works to align spiritual values with practical action. We ask, "What is waste? Does waste exist? How do we design thoughtfully in cultures of disposability and efficiency at all costs? How can our lives reflect our values?"
What can Hubbers learn from interaction design?
In many ways, interaction design is an expression of Service and how we externalize it in our lives. Real design exists because of our empathy, compassion and values. In any project, collaboration is key. If we don't believe we are part of the same team, we create band-aid solutions for someone else to fix, and people to continue to suffer. I hope we're asking, "Am I being thoughtful? How am I listening? How do I know I'm truly listening? How can we create authentic opportunities of collaboration and feedback from our users?"
What do you love about HUB?
It's a place to meet and build community with justice aligned folks who work in technology or multiple fields. On a Sexy Salad Friday, you'll meet high schoolers in a coding school and a data scientist trying to transform how we use data for social justice. I'm deeply moved by how Oakland Hub represents and supports folks across different access points. Here, quality folk pick away at unanswerable challenges. It's started by POC and you feel the presence of welcoming. Such communities are to be cherished and supported.
What's a project you worked on recently that got you excited?
I recently led a design team that listened our way across America for five weeks to feel the pulse of what life is like for undocumented, refugee, Muslim peoples. Our foundation client is deeply invested in the immigration space and wanted to ensure that resources were truly supporting these communities at this time of great fear and humbling acts of service.
We learned that to be a Good Samaritan now is to show up locally. Show up and be a sincere ally for your neighbors, for the people and communities you already can access. If you can, get involved with local politics. We heard stories across America behind closed doors of how organized local groups of concerned citizens changed legislation, how tiny acts can feel like a moment of breath for targeted communities.
Finally, use your skills to support and uplift communities and local non-profits. Can you be a speaker, even for a day? Can you build a website for an amazing org that doesn't have the resources to do so? Can you be a handy person on call? Can you donate x dollars to local non-profits? However you can show up, do so.
What is your responsibility for dealing with injustice?
As a native of Richmond, I'm called to give back to that community. I am grateful to be an American and understand my privilege and intersection points that allow me to do work I love. I use my education — my skill sets — to create access, curiosity in challenges, and active real change. I mentor women of color, emerging designers, and give pro-bono design workshops and work. I look forward to the time when I am ready to pass the baton over to the next group of designers.
As my best friend Maria says, there is work for everyone! We all have personal and collective responsibility — our work — and that's the journey. I understand the single parent working minimum wage has a very different set of access points than my experience and so how do I use my skills and privilege to create and connect resources for that person? That's someone's parent, someone's neighbor, someone's beloved. When we believe that everyone is beloved, we are ready to shift injustice.
Whose work do you most admire?
Everyday people that keep showing up.
What have you learned from your Japanese, Chinese and Hawaiian heritage?
My Uncle Cliff embodies and taught me the full meaning of the Hawaiian greeting, "Talk Story." Stories as a living verb, not a noun. To talk story is to tap into our cultural DNA, passed from one generation to another. Part of our work as elders is to share and keep passing forward and practicing our culture with the next generation. My uncle taught me that even (and perhaps especially) in the tough times, when you feel like an outcast or you're the only one standing up for an unpopular idea, you can always come back to Talk Story as a way to bring folks together, to build cohesion and interdependence.
One of the great gifts of Hub is that as we connect with others here, we talk story as a way of honoring each other. In these ways, we build bridges and co-create what happens here as well as the world around us.

PowerPC Upgrades for 68040 Macs with LC PDS
Daniel Knight, Low End Mac, Quadra, Tech Specs - 2016.09.01 -
The Apple Power Mac Processor Upgrade (APMPU) is a PowerPC 601 upgrade for 68040-based Macs that have a 32-bit LC processor direct slot (PDS) – the Quadra 605/LC 475/Performa 475-476, LC 575/Performa 575-578, LC 580/Performa 580-588, and Quadra 630/LC 630/Performa 630 series.
PowerPC 601 Upgrades for 68040 PDS Macs
The Apple Power Mac Upgrade Card (APMUC) plugs into the 68040 Processor Direct Slot (PDS) of the Centris 650, Quadra 650, Quadra 700, Quadra 800, Quadra 900, and Quadra 950 and provides PowerPC 601 power. With an adapter, it also works in the Centris 610 and Quadra 610. It is not compatible with 68040-based Macs […]
Quadra and Centris Index
LEM Staff, Low End Mac, Quadra - 2015.02.12 -
This index covers desktop Macs based on the 68040 CPU. This includes all Centris and Quadra models, plus some LCs and Performas.
LEM Staff, Quadra, Tech Specs - 1994.07.18 -
The Quadra 630 was the last Mac designed around the 68040 processor. It was designed to replace the Quadra 610. LC and Performa versions of the 630 use the less expensive 68LC040, which lacks an FPU, while the Quadra 630 sports a full 68040. The slide-out motherboard makes upgrades very easy.
Finding the market confused with five product lines (Mac II, Centris, Quadra, Performa, and PowerBook), Apple renamed the Centris models in October 1993. At the same time, the 68040 CPU in the Quadra 650 was boosted to 33 MHz.

LEM Staff, Performa, Quadra, Tech Specs - 1993.10.18 -
What was the smallest desktop Mac prior to the Mac mini? Apple's LC series, which measured just under 3″ tall, although it had as big a footprint as four Minis. And the Quadra 605 (also known as the LC 475 and Performa 475 or 476) was the most powerful model in this diminutive line.
Quadra 840av
Using the same case as the Quadra 800, the 840av incorporates the same AV circuitry as the Centris 660av. Running a 40 MHz CPU, this was Apple's fastest 68040-based computer ever.
Centris 660av (Quadra 660av)
Initially introduced as the Centris 660av (the two models are identical except for the nameplate), the Quadra 660av shares the same case design as the Centris 610.
Apple introduced a new case design with the Quadra 800, one later used by the Quadra 840av and two Power Macs, the 8100 and 8500. Perhaps the most frustrating case to work with, it has three front accessible drive bays. One is for the floppy drive; the others may hold CD-ROM, a DAT drive, a SyQuest mechanism, etc.
Centris 650
Creating a midpoint between the Mac II line and the Quadra series, the short-lived Centris models were introduced in February 1993. The Centris 650 uses the same chassis as the IIvx, IIvi, and Performa 600.

Apple replaced the Quadra 900 with the 950, boosting CPU speed from 25 MHz to 33 MHz. Because Apple removed some "wait states" from the video section, the 950's internal video is about 20% faster than the 900's – and the faster CPU helps things along even more. The 950 can display 16-bit video on […]
October 1991 saw the introduction of Macs using Motorola's high-octane 68040 CPU. The Quadra 900 was a full-fledged tower design, although it had only a single front accessible drive bay. The Quadra 700 and 900 were the first Macs with built-in ethernet, using Apple's AAUIs connector.

In my last year of college, Paris beckoned. A French major, I had secured a six-month expense paid education at the Sorbonne. Living in the Latin Quarter, I often crossed the bridge to the Ile de la Cite to walk through the corridors of Notre Dame. On a sunny day, beams of bright light streamed through the magnificent Rose window. I remember taking my mother up to the top of the edifice when she came to visit—slightly over 365 steps. Being close to the gargoyles made me think of the craftsmanship that went into the construction of this cathedral that took almost two centuries to complete. While the construction certainly provided thousands of jobs over that time¾to artists, architects, contractors, and others¾think of how that much money could have been spent to better the lives of the people. Visualize where ordinary people lived in the Middle Ages in Paris. When Rome fell so did its concepts of basic sanitation, sewage system, and baths. Disease was rampant and people lived in hovels. But the Catholic Church sought to invest the hard-earned money of its parishioners to build Notre Dame. Imagine if that money had been invested in discovering the cause of the plague, building sanitation systems, and housing people in adequate and clean dwellings. Construction of these systems would have employed just as many people, but given them something that would make their lives better. Of course I am sure that Bishop Maurice Sully saw building Notre Dame as providing for their "spiritual life." I am sure he never considered his own glorification in starting such an enterprise… Yes, the cathedral is beautiful and it endures today as a magnificent example of Gothic architecture. But I would easily trade it for a better life for the people who lived in the Middle Ages.
Building magnificent edifices while fleecing the congregations is not the only element about church finances that is disturbing. In the United States, churches qualify as tax-exempt organizations. Until a research report published in 2012, the impact of that status had not been carefully examined. Lead author Ryan Cragun (PhD and Associate Professor of Sociology) and his team did a thorough examination of how much local, state, and federal governments subsidize religion. Their conclusion? $71 billion a year. This consists of the exemption from taxes on the operations of the organization, exemption from local or state property taxes, and exemptions for the pastors for income taxes. (Employees of churches are required to pay income taxes.) One of the rationales for this exemption is the supposed provision of charity by religious institutions. But even the Church of the Latter-Day Saints' charitable contributions of $1 billion dollars between 1985 and 2008 consisted of only about 0.7 percent of its annual income. America's Most Cost Effective Charities lists over 50 charities that spend less than five percent of their revenue on operating expenses. This is just about the polar opposite of the Mormon Church.
If churches were not tax-exempt, what else could be purchased with the $71 billion? Let's take a look. $73.9 billion was spent on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program for total benefits and associated costs in 2015. SNAP is the name for the food stamp program. Isn't it interesting that conservative politicians often rail against the spending on the SNAP program but never comment on the money spent on religious organizations that could virtually fully fund this program? The 2013-2014 budget for federal monies for Planned Parenthood was a measly $528 million. Imagine how we could improve women's health by just doubling that. And yet it is a program that the conservatives want to defund even though none of the federal monies go to provide abortion coverage. Then there is education. Using the $71 billion from churches' tax-exempt windfall would DOUBLE the discretionary spending of the Department of Education. Once again, there are politicians speaking out in 2016 about ELIMINATING the entire Department of Education…and presumably the federal funding that goes with it.
As the percentage of "nones" increase in the United States, it is likely that a fledging movement might form to repeal the tax-exempt status of churches. If people want to worship in a beautiful edifice, want to provide mansions for their pastors, and want to have gold candleholders and artwork, then let them pay for it themselves. Don't expect those of us who do not support religion to do so.
And what would become of churches if they were not able to survive? Make them into libraries and bookstores!

Alan Licht: sound art…
Written by Julio Gómez
Mediateletipos arte sonoro, libros	Leave a Comment
Over the past century, an art form has emerged that draws from the worlds of visual art and music. Sound art's roots can be found in the experimental work of Italian Futurism, Dada, and later the Fluxus group and the pioneering efforts of the American composer and artist John Cage. In the wake of this groundbreaking work, sound art began to mature into a movement, and artists explored the interactive possibilities of sound and in turn created entirely new modes of experiencing and engaging with art. In this volume, the complete story of sound art is told by one of the country's leading critics and scholars. The author traces the history of this form of art–highlighting the convergence of the indie world bands such as Sonic Youth with the art world–looking at the critical cross-pollination that has led to some of the most important and challenging art being produced today, including work by Christian Marclay, LaMonte Young, Janet Cardiff, Rodney Graham, and Laurie Anderson, among many others.
Alan Licht is an American composer, guitarist, music writer, and a widely respected figure on the experimental music scene. He is not only responsible for important album reissues, but was a member of the cult classic NYC bands Love Child and Run On. He currently lives in New York City. Jim O'Rourke is an American musician and producer, and most widely known as a member of the rock band Sonic Youth. Considered an expert on experimental music, he has scored films for Werner Herzog and Olivier Assayas.

Julie Anne San Jose (album)

I remember Julie Anne San Jose as a Pop Star Kids contender when QTV11 was at its prime. She is indeed tailor made to become a pop star. Her self-titled album is the harbinger of growth in the music industry.
Even without filler revivals of Hold On and Let Me Be The One, her album is the total pop album. Her acoustic and all original Baby U Are is the opening track and became an instant favorite, bearing the authentic Julie Anne sound. Another favorite will have to be one of her carrier singles titled Enough, with a very nice vibe and kickass meaning. A lot of her songs might be familiar, as they turned into Heart of Asia themes like I'll Be There (Lie To Me), Bakit Ngayon (The Greatest Love) and For Everything (My Daughter Seoyeong).
Her songs are about relationships and unrequited love, making it more appealing to listeners young or the young at heart. Her album is highly recommended to those who are really into pop music.

Finally, after failed attempts to find a copy for about 4 months now, I already got my copy of The Meaning of Happy CD. i don't know why they won't replenish stocks when they're well aware that the racks are empty of Same Same.'s CDs.The only thing I could think of was that there were not enough album sales that they decided not to replenish, but any sales person could've explained they've been pulled out. But all these record shops I've visited and asked only told me they're out of stock. Out of stock might mean two things: They won't order for more or they've been ordering but it's still not coming in. I don't think it'd be good for their business if they keep answering that some CDs are out of stock. It means losing potential buyers, and it will surely lead to an impression that they're not capable of providing for their customers' needs.
Anyway, enough lecture on the cost of quality! Thank God I was able to get the CD locally hence, I'll really use my Mom's credit card and order one from Tower.com! Now I wouldn't have to settle for mp3 samples! Yey!
Let me do my review 1, 2 or 3 songs at a time… it's just that I have so much to say about it that way rather than collectively. Excuse me for my being excited , this review has been suspended four months!
Supermodel: Catchy…very catchy! I used to skip this track but now I've been listening to it more than I've been listening to other songs in the album. I can't imagine this being a Hidell song… or maybe it could've sounded a lot differently if it were. I'm curious. =)
Citylights & The Meaning of Happy: Not a favorite, but I'm not skipping on it. It's two of the many songs from the album I'm still pondering on up until now. I think that the sound's something 80-ish… if you got what I mean.
Without You: This, for me, is the cutest song in the album. Frankly though, I prefer the one with Jacklyn Victor singing. Just..don't ask. I like that version better. If I'm not mistaken, it became a movie theme… and I am so sure that movie's really "kilig"! This love at first sight song really leaves "that" kind of feeling.
Downtown, I'm Still In Love With You & I Waited Too Long: I simply felt the Beatles' influence in them, most especially for I'm Still In Love With You. If the Beatles were still alive 'til now I think they'd sound like Same Same if they sing these songs. Teehee! Way to go, Clint & Bob!
Love Isn't: Simply put, it's a "reality bites" song. Every time I listen to it, I can feel it talking to me. I love it. I just like what it's trying to tell me & I believe the same thing. =)
Strange Lover: This is Clint's [& also Bob's as he tells it!] favorite song from the album. This is Same Same, adapting the Asian sound. The first time I listened to it, I was really paying attention to the lyrics, because of the intriguing title. Check out Farang Ja [it's Thai version] and the video… it's very "makulit"!
Hearts Collide, Stay & Tell Me: More love songs from The Meaning of Happy album! Here's Clint & Bob pouring their hearts out, something they're really good at. I couldn't help but think how many heartbreaks could've possibly occurred during the time of their absence… because they're really very sad! These three songs are not very difficult to relate to, if you'd ask me,
The Meaning of Happy as a whole: OK, I don't want to sound biased if I say that it's a good album… but it really is. You just have to listen to it as a whole, because it will be hard to capture the sense if you skip on tracks. This isn't anything like their previous projects, so you're definitely in for something different this time. Plus, it's just Clint & Bob; not Clint & Bob from The Moffatts. It's Clint & Bob Moffatt this time around.
Review: Mocca–My Diary (2002)

I first heard about Mocca about 2 summers ago. I was talking then to one of the members of the band Omelet Parade, inquiring about the auditions for the post of vocalist/guitarist. But fortunately, I passed my summer class and I just have to concentrate on my studies from that point on. Anyhow, he asked me if I know the band Mocca, because it's their main influence, and they're like, trying to adapt the Indie Pop genre. I searched for it but I couldn't find anything except for the information about them being Indonesian and the Indie pop genre.
So when i stumbled upon the albums [thanks to my online buddy Ashran], I was surprised that the songs from their albums are in English! So, there's no language barrier between me and Mocca's songs, since I can understand English perfectly well. My Diary is a girl's album. All the songs were based from a girl's feelings and experiences. It's like an actual diary… just imagine listening to a singing diary entry!
One word to describe it? CUTE. The words are not figurative or anything, that is why it's more of listening to a person's experience or story for the day in a casual manner….knowing what runs in the mind of a girl who's lonely while waiting for love to arrive, or how her boyfriend treats her. Everything was beautifully taken from a girl's point of view.
The album is 80% Bossa… and Bossa makes me sleepy. But since Mocca's lyrics are funny and highly entertaining, I tried my best to stay up and not to sleep through the entire album while I'm writing this review.
I am recommending this albums to hopeless romantic girls out there!
Review: Marit Larsen – Under The Surface [2006]

02. Under The Surface
03. Don't Save Me
04. Only A Fool
05. Solid Ground
06. This Time Tomorrow

10. Come Closer
11. Poison Passion
Do you still remember M2M's cute, little blond girl who used to play the guitar? That's her. Last year, her solo album was released entitled Under the Surface.
Maybe it was destiny for M2M to split, so that individually they can create more interesting songs. And honestly, I think that Marit Larsen sounded better on her own. Her songs sound more mature now, even though you can't really take off that teeny bopper sound. It must be inborn.
Still very much into the pop genre, her Under the Surface album is as nice as M2M's The Big Room. The songs are full of humor, especially Don't Save Me and Only A Fool. This is really a girl's album, reflecting girls' feelings of being in a serious relationship with a person she truly loves, making sure that she's the only one in his heart.
All in all the album is not disappointing. If you're in a good mood to listen to some pop music, try listening to Marit's album, and measure how much she has grown since her M2M days.
Review: Girl Next Door by Saving Jane
Small town homecoming queen
She's a star in this scene
There's no way to deny she's lovely
Perfect skin, perfect hair
Perfumed hearts everywhere
Tell myself that inside she's ugly
Maybe I'm just jealous-I can't help but hate her
Secretly I wonder if my boyfriend wants to date her
She is the prom queen, I'm in the marching band
She is a cheerleader, I'm sitting in the stands
She gets the top bunk, I'm sleeping on the floor
She's Miss America
And I'm just the girl next door
Senior class president
She must be heaven sent
She was never the last one standing
A backseat debutante
Everything that you want
Never too harsh or too demanding
Maybe I'll admit it, I'm a little bitter
Everybody loves her, but I just wanna hit her…
I don't know why I'm feeling sorry for myself
Spend all my time wishing that I was someone else
I get a little bit, she gets a little more
****** Talk about insecurity, yeah! This song actually moved up the charts of Jam 88.3, and with the dj's opinion it's because many girls can relate to it. Hey, all of us have different special traits! We are unique on our own declaration! (Hell, yeah we do…) But in real life this kind of thing happens… there's always someone better than us, and that… we have to accept, right? But it's never too late to improve and show to the world that we can make a difference… and not just hide under the shadow of those girls whom we think are perfect. They're not. They just happened to be, well… noticed. Each star in the universe shine. Some maybe too bright but, the other stars shine too. It's just that their time to shine their brightest hasn't come. Wishing that were someone else doesn't make us appreciate who we really are. So let's take time to know ourselves better and love it!

50 Cubic feet ((40 boxes))
bulk 1940s-1980s
This collection consists of approximately 45 cubic feet of papers, photographs, audio recordings, reports, drawings, correspondence and film, created or collected by Darrell Romick. The papers highlight his visionary space engineering, especially during his time at Goodyear during the 1950s and early 1960s.
Darrell C. Romick (1915-2008) was a missile engineer for Goodyear during the 1950s and 1960s and one of the most significant American visionaries of space travel. He made hundreds of presentations all over the country, appeared on national television and was quoted in most major newspapers and magazines. Romick's best know design was Project METEOR, an acronym for Manned Earth-satellite Terminal evolving from Earth-Orbit ferry Rocket vehicles. The project was a space exploration plan to produce a fleet of reusable Shuttle-like orbital launch vehicles to service an orbiting space city. Romick graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana with a Bachelor of Science in engineering physics. He became an engineer in the aircraft industry, and he worked for Taylorcraft as a chief engineer. He then worked as a designer for Moulton Taylor on a flying car project before he was hired by Goodyear in 1946 as a project engineer for an experimental missile project. While that particular missile project was canceled, Romick continued working for Goodyear in its missile department. During this time he became very active in the American Rocket Society (ARS) and the British Interplanetary Society, and began his long friendships with other rocket visionaries, including Hermann Oberth, Werner Von Braun, Willy Ley, and Krafft Ehricke. In 1949, Romick became head of Goodyear's General Missile Design Group and he started his staff working unofficially on a space ship design that would become part of METEOR. The design work became an official project of Goodyear after Romick's presentation at the ARS annual meeting in 1954, which made an immediate impact as many of the leading magazines and newspapers covered the story. By 1957 Romick and his Goodyear design team had devised a reduced-scale plan, due to the projected expense of METEOR. Romick presented the METEOR Jr. System Concept at the International Astronautical Federation Congress shortly after the launch of Sputnik 1. However, even as Project METEOR generated headlines, its direct contribution to the development of space flight as the reusable vehicle model was eclipsed as the United States space programs turned to expendable boosters as opposed to reusable vehicles. In 1964, Goodyear shifted its resources from the METEOR project to defense missile work and water-recovery balloons for the Gemini Project. While this shift in resources ended the METEOR Project, several of its basic principles survived and influenced the proposed reusable single stage to Earth orbit vehicles.

The best part of New Orleans is that there's enough alcohol to make you completely unaware of the people you don't like and yet are there with you in New Orleans, so we would still have a good time there even if Tony decided to tag along ... like he did the first time.
You know, you're right. When I speak of that trip, I really only remember you, me and Stephen. Wow, another reason to love alcohol. And New Orleans.

The report A Review of the Resource Management (National Environmental Standards for Plantation Forestry Regulations 2017 was co-authored by Madeleine Wright, Sally Gepp and Dr David Hall and is available as a PDF at [insert link].
"EDS and Forest and Bird decided to jointly prepare this report because of increasing public concern about the impacts of commercial forestry in light of events like the Tolaga Bay devastation," said co-author Sally Gepp.
"The concerns focused on the sense that the current regulatory approach was light-touch which was inappropriate for such a high-risk sector. The industry is high-risk in terms of worker safety but also environmental impacts especially from slash and sediment.
"We make three key observations in our report.
"First, the NESPF's approach to afforestation and replanting is too permissive and needs to be re-examined. Greater stringency needs to be applied. This is especially the case if we are to plant a billion trees.
"Thirdly, in most instances, the adverse environmental impacts of clear-fell harvesting are significant. Therefore policy needs to be developed to facilitate a transition to more sustainable methods. Slash and sediment must be better controlled and that may require staged harvesting rather than present methods.
"Forest & Bird and EDS would welcome ongoing engagement with stakeholders on our Report," Sally Gepp concluded.


In the construction industry, over £70 million is lost each year through plant theft. Altogether, theft from construction sites and the associated costs are estimated to top £800 million every year. Construction sites are frequently targeted because of the high value equipment and materials they contain, which is often left out in the open while work is ongoing.

He loved every minute of time spent with Adonis.

Roderick Stackelberg
Roderick Stackelberg died on March 18, 2018, aged 82.
He was born in Munich, Germany, on May 8, 1935, to a German father, Curt Ernst Friedrich Ferdinand Freiherr von Stackelberg (1910–1994) and an American mother, Ellen LeRoy Emmet Biddle (1912–1998). He grew up in Bavaria during the Second World War. His tenth birthday coincided with Victory in Europe Day, May 8, 1945. He returned to the United States with his mother and his three siblings in July 1946. He attended St. Paul's School in Concord, New Hampshire, and Housatonic Valley Regional High School in Falls Village, Connecticut, before earning a bachelor's degree with a concentration in history and literature, cum laude, from Harvard University in 1956. He was drafted into the Army in 1958, serving in the chemical corps at the United States Army Europe Headquarters in Heidelberg, Germany. His duty was to map the potential fallout from battlefield nuclear weapons at a time when the U.S. Government claimed not to have any nuclear weapons stationed in Europe.
After teaching at the high school and adult education levels for many years, including in Germany from 1962 to 1967, he returned to graduate school at age 35 in 1970, helped by a Ford Foundation Leadership Development fellowship. He earned a master's degree in history at the University of Vermont in 1972, and a doctorate in history at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, in 1974, specializing in modern German and European intellectual history, with a focus on Nazism and fascism. He taught at San Diego State University, the University of Oregon, and the University of South Dakota. Arriving at Gonzaga University as an assistant professor in 1978, he retired as professor and John D. and Ann K. Powers Chair in 2004. He was named Scholar of the Year by Gonzaga in 1990. Mr. Stackelberg published four scholarly books: Idealism Debased: From Völkish Thought to National Socialism (Kent State University Press, 1981), Hitler's Germany: Origins, Interpretations, Legacy (Routledge, 1999; revised 2009), The Nazi Germany Sourcebook: An Anthology of Texts with Sally A. Winkle (Routledge, 2002), and The Routledge Companion to Nazi Germany (2008). He contributed chapters to scholarly anthologies and published numerous articles and reviews in major academic journals. He also privately published four volumes of memoirs.
He was a member and financial supporter of various social justice and environmental organizations and served as president of the Spokane chapter of the United Nations Association. His favorite expression comes from Paul Goodman: "The repressed and excluded are always right in their rebellion, because they stand for our future wholeness."
A former Spokane chess champion and competitive club tennis player, Mr. Stackelberg was a member of the Inland Empire Chess Club and the Spokane Tennis Association. He enjoyed good food and wine, relished most when the talk between bites turned political. He was a caring father and a generous teacher, a loyal friend and a dedicated correspondent. He did not travel widely, but he traveled well — usually to Boston, to Vermont, or to Germany, and always to visit family and friends. In bad weather he'd listen to classical music or protest songs while reading by the fire. When the sun came out, he'd take long walks through the neighborhood, stopping to admire a fine house or beautiful garden. After a stroke in 2011, his walks continued, longer and further than ever before. Anyone who lived on the South Hill, would likely see him zoom by in his wheelchair, seeking some sunshine and a view from the bluff.
He is survived by his wife, Sally Anne Winkle, (married 1991); and his first wife, Steffi Heuss, (married 1965–1983); and by a daughter and two sons: Katherine Ellen von Stackelberg (born 1966), Nicholas Olaf von Stackelberg (born 1971) and Emmet Winkle von Stackelberg (born 1991); and three grandchildren: Sigurgeir Temple, Bryndis LeRoy Jonson, and Sebastian Otto von Stackelberg; as well as by his brother Olaf Patrick (born 1932); and his half-sisters: Stella Marie (born 1943), Susanne (born 1942) and Sylvia Roswitha Knobloch (born 1945).
He was predeceased by his sister Betsy Shulman (1934–2015); his brother Nicholas Temple (1938–2016); and his half-brother Curt Ferdinand Marian Freiherr (1956–1997).
A memorial celebration will be held in Spokane on May 19. A local memorial will be announced at a later date. Donations may be made to the Peace and Justice Action League of Spokane, Hospice of Spokane, or the Nature Conservancy.
Gregory Henry Stafford
Gregory Henry Stafford, 79, of Island Pond died peacefully on March 29, 2018, at 1:30 p.m. due to complications from kidney and bladder cancer, and finally congestive heart failure.
He was born in Island Pond on October 19, 1938, in his parents' kitchen.
He was predeceased by his parents: L. Nicholas Stafford and Mary (O'Gorman); his twin brother Gordon Stafford on September 25, 2017, and his infant sister, Joann.
He is survived by his sisters: Jane Stafford Othot and her husband, Richard, and Joan Stafford; and his sister-in-law, Rita Stafford.
"McGee," as he was known by all, graduated from Berlin High School in 1958. Following that, he proudly served in the United States Air Force from approximately 1959 to 1963. His tours of duty included time in Japan, Iceland, and the Philippines. His tales often recounted the numerous adventures he had while in the Air Force, traveling overseas. He was active in many local veterans' events, and proud to represent his military background in the annual military parades.
His many nephews, nieces, cousins, and friends admired his work ethic, original sense of humor, unique sayings, and his devotion to his family. Every family gathering was enhanced by his lively storytelling where he detailed his many life escapades. There were countless life lessons and uncontrollable laughter!
Mr. Stafford was very proud of his Northeast Kingdom heritage and knew the wooded landscape by heart. He was an expert tour guide, and enjoyed sharing his love of nature and the outdoors with everyone. He resided in Island Pond most of his life and owned a home there since 1980. Times spent in his kitchen making the past come alive in stories and jokes enriched the lives of everyone privileged to know him. But always, his favorite place to go was the old log cabin in the woods of the Yellow Bog.
A celebration of his life for close friends and family at his home in Island Pond, and a graveside ceremony will take place on Saturday, May 12. Times will be announced at a later date. On Saturday, May 26, Memorial Day weekend, a larger celebration will occur at the American Legion in Island Pond.

THE Australian leg of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's first major overseas royal tour has come to a temporary halt, as the royal couple jet off to Fiji and Tonga today.
Their arrival in Fiji's capital of Suva later today will be followed by two days of engagements focused on the environment and education before the Duke and Duchess of Sussex head to Tonga.
"I think he was blown away … the size of the timbers we took him to, the beauty of the lakes, you know, talking with our songman, our rangers, and hearing it from both points of view on things he had not thought about," Aunty Nai Nai said.
The duke and duchess are expected to catch some of the final events when they return on Friday.


Football Federation Australia (FFA) and NAB, together with Melbourne Victory, are proud to announce Thomas Deng as the final nominee for the Hyundai A-League, NAB Young Footballer of the Year 2017/18 Award.
Deng, who scored a stunning volley for Victory in their round 25 3-1 win over Western Sydney Wanderers FC at AAMI Park, joins Bruce Kamau and Daniel Arzani (both Melbourne City FC), Daniel De Silva (Central Coast Mariners), Joseph Champness (Newcastle Jets), and Christopher Ikonomidis (Western Sydney Wanderers FC), as a nominee for the prestigious Award.
While Deng has performed consistently this campaign, towards the completion of the regular season he proved himself to be an integral member of Melbourne's squad as they secured their sixth consecutive Hyundai A-League Finals Series berth.
Deng started every match for Victory in the March/April nomination window, helping Kevin Muscat's men to an impressive four wins from six games.
The Hyundai A-League NAB Young Footballer of the Year 2017/18 Award will be announced at the Dolan Warren Awards Night at The Star in Sydney on Monday, 30 April 2018.
Thomas Deng receives some instructions from Victory boss Kevin Muscat.
"We congratulate Thomas on his nomination and look forward to watching his development and growth on the football field in the years to come," said Knott.
Adelaide Blue Eagles will receive a NAB Club Recognition Award, which includes a range of equipment along with $1,000.
"As a supporter of the NAB Young Footballer of the Year Award, we are proud to play an important role in identifying and rewarding the future stars of the game," concluded Knott.


Today's recovery tip today is the topic, go to meetings. When we go to meetings the important thing is to hit the same meetings over and over. That is called a Home Group. If you are doing 90 meetings in 90 days, whether because you're new in recovery or because you're going through a crisis; select which meeting to go to each day of the week and stick to it. As you attend the meetings check out the rooms for someone to at least be your temporary sponsor. If you're just too afraid to ask at first, find out which other meetings that person attends and show up to hear what he or she shares and get to know them. As you hear someone share something that was good for your recovery, always validate them after the meeting. This is an open door to be gifted with more sobriety treasure tips. Go to meetings.

Original Saw Company Diversifies Product Lines with Acquisition of Williams & Hussey Machine Co. Assets
Original Saw Company, a leading industrial woodworking machinery manufacturer, has acquired Williams & Hussey Machine Co. an exemplary producer of molders and profile knives.
With a heritage that dates to the 1950's, Williams & Hussey Machine Co. has been an industry leader in the manufacturing of molders and profile knives for over 60 years for the woodworking professional.

New ways of organising gifting of time and/or money are growing at unprecedented rates. They legitimise the capitalist system by providing the "human face" of the market. This article examines the trend of "philanthropic consultants" and "volunteer tourism" and how these practices fit into the capitalist system as a whole.


It's an issue that jockeys have been talking about for years.
The number of serious injuries at tracks with synthetic surfaces.
But they don't have enough statistics to show racing authorities.
The synthetic surfaces have been added in an effort to reduce catastrophic breakdowns in horses, and nearly every track is participating in a study compiling equine injury statistics on all racing surfaces.
Riders would like to see a similar effort to compile human injury rates on synthetic surfaces, which often feature well-bunched fields into the stretch, as well as the traditional surfaces.
Rider Jeff Johnston asked an insurance expert if statistics comparing injury rates on the two surfaces would be available. John Unick, president of the Thoroughbred Racing Division of Maroevich, O'Shea, and Coghlan Insurance Services said such information is tracked.
Unick said jockeys should work with the National Thoroughbred Racing Association Safety and Integrity Alliance to study these statistics.
We think this should be done.
We think riders should begin gathering information and statistics on this issue.
We are square behind the riders.
The jockeys also noted that because of the tough economy, some tracks have reduced the number of people working on their gate crews and that those reductions are creating safety risks.
What do you think? Let me know and we'll keep an eye on this important issue.

New Research Reveals That Asia has the Wealthiest Expats
Monday, 15th,October 2012
The latest expat research from HSBC indicates that the wealthiest expats in the world are located in Singapore.
According to the fifth Expat Explorer, which was released by HSBC last week, over half of the people surveyed in Singapore (54 percent) claimed to earn more than $200,000 USD per year. This compares with an international average of just seven percent. Within the survey HSBC ranked countries according to factors such as the average salary, levels of disposable income and ability to afford luxuries and positioned Singapore at the top of the table, followed by Bermuda, Thailand, Hong Kong and the Cayman Islands.
Asian countries performed particularly well in this year's survey, with many of the expats that live in this area of the world claiming that their disposable income had increased since they had located. Again, Singapore was home to the highest number of expats who had benefitted from increases in disposable income (80 percent), followed by Hong Kong (79 percent) and Malaysia (72 percent).
In the Executive Summary, Dean Blackburn, Head of HSBC Expat, commented: "Asia is increasingly coming to the fore
as a top destination for both financial opportunity and life experiences. While
the region has historically been a popular choice for those looking for increased quality of life, the dominance of Asian countries at the top of this year's Expat Explorer Economics league table highlights that it is fast becoming an all-round top expat destination – especially Singapore."
The survey, which included over 5000 expats throughout the world, indicated that Asian countries offer more opportunities to expats than the previously dominant Middle Eastern expat destinations. In last year's survey Saudi Arabia had topped the list of the countries that were home to the wealthiest expats, while the top ten list also included Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Bahrain. However, this year only Bahrain made it into the top ten list and Saudi Arabia fell a dramatic 17 places.
Paul Richardson, senior regional manager for HSBC Expat Asia, said in a report in The Telegraph: "We're still seeing a lot of economic growth in the Middle East, but Asia does seem to be stronger. Businesses are looking further East for opportunities, especially [to] Singapore and Hong Kong, which remain the region's most dynamic economic hubs."
An opposite state of affairs was in evidence in Europe. Expats living in this part of the world are much less financially stable with many of the countries in this part of the world remaining unstable. However, despite this, many expats in Europe remain resilient and are "choosing to weather the storm." For example, a massive 92 percent of the expats living in Spain revealed that they were dissatisfied with the state of their host country's economy. However, despite this, not one of those surveyed revealed that they have any active plans to leave their current home.
"Wider concerns, such as the current state of the economy, appear to have had little effect on their desire to continue living and working there," Blackburn said.
"While [they] are feeling the impact of the economic turbulence that has taken hold across much of the Eurozone, this year's findings show they have strong ties to their current country of residence."

Q: Can the verb 'abhorrent' be used in this way? Sth is abhorrent to you means that you have hatred of it or you dislike it very much. For example, 'Racial discrimiantion is absolutely abhorrent to me'.  But Can I say sb is abhorrent to me?  For instance, The guy is abhorrent to me. Is the sentence accepatble?

A: If you look at how

abhorrent

is usually used with nouns to which abhorrent are often applied: behavior, act, crime, practice, thing. not so much directly with people.  If you find someone's behavior abhorrent, you will probably find them

repulsive - tending to rouse aversion

which is how somebody would usually be described

I am repulsed by that person's abhorrent behavior.
  That person's abhorrent behavior repulses me.

A: Your sentence is perfectly valid. If something is abhorrent to you it means you consider it totally unacceptable, or hate it very much.

*

*Racism of any kind is abhorrent to me. (Cambridge Dictionary)

...abhorrent is an adjective

An Evening with Kiki Ebsen
To Dad with Love: A Tribute to Buddy Ebsen™
Kiki Ebsen's Joni Mitchell Project
Kiki Ebsen with Symphony Pops
TV/Video Credits
Interview A/V Archives
Kiki Ebsen
October 12-14 "To Dad with Love: A Tribute to Buddy Ebsen" comes to LA this fall!
Save the date! "To Dad with Love: A Tribute to Buddy Ebsen" makes it's debut at the famous Theatre West in North Hollywood, CA. October 12-14, 2018 As a veteran singer-songwriter and accomplished musician who's toured internationally for 20 years, Kiki was inspired to record and release the CD, "Scarecrow Sessions," in tribute to her father's vast career. Its debut was in time for Father's Day. Songs from this album provide fans new insight into
Buddy's talents as a dramatic actor as well as accomplished dancer. Response to "Scarecrow Sessions" was so strong that she, along with brother Dustin, have created this showcase of personal stories and beautiful photo memories and magical songs in tribute to one of America's most beloved true pioneers of the entertainment industry.
Actor Buddy Ebsen was perhaps best known for his television roles in the 1960s and 1970s. His fans, however, may not know as much about the first 30 years of his career, as a dancer on Broadway, and in early films. Were it not for fate, American children would have had 75 years to enjoy him in the role of the Scarecrow in "The Wizard of Oz." It was the role of a lifetime, but it was also the one that got away.
As progeny of an original star of vaudeville and the Golden Age of Hollywood, Kiki is the "real deal." An excellent jazz singer and charming storyteller, Kiki is the essence of elegance as she sings and tells stories about her life with her famous father, actor Buddy Ebsen.

What are the Lady Astronaut novels about?
Where do these books fit in with the short story "The Lady Astronaut of Mars"?
Would it be advisable to read "The Lady Astronaut of Mars" novella before going on to The Calculating Stars?
What research did you do for The Calculating Stars?
How much of the math/computation is based directly on history and how much hand-waving do you allow yourself on behind-the-scenes things?
Sexism clearly exists in-universe — how did you navigate those fraught waters in a way that allows your characters to shine without being all sunshine and rainbows?
So if The Meteor really did hit DC, how much trouble would my town be in?
Any reason a smart 12 yr old should wait until they are older to read The Calculating Stars?
The first novels are a duology, The Calculating Stars and The Fated Sky.
The first book opens in 1952 about two minutes before I slam an asteroid into Washington, D.C. (I wrote this in 2016, so I swear it's not wish fulfillment), which kicks off the space program fast, and hard, and with an international effort. It's a time when computers were still women mathematicians and not mechanical devices, so this is very much woman-centered science fiction.
These books are prequels. There are other stories, too! Here's the list in internal chronological order:
"We Interrupt This Broadcast"
The Calculating Stars
"Articulated Restraint"
The Fated Sky
The Relentless Moon - coming 2020
The Derivative Base - coming 2022
"The Phobos Experience" - in Fantasy & Science Fiction July 2018
"Amara's Giraffe"
"Rockets Red"
"The Lady Astronaut of Mars"
Note that no one in the whole Lady Astronaut universe knows about the events of "We Interrupt This Broadcast." At least, no one alive.
It's not necessary - you can read them in any order. The novels are first, chronologically.
You can find my research bibliography here.
I talk about my research more in my historical note, but actually going to NASA and talking to astronauts was … I'm still giddy. Astronauts Kjell Lindgren and Cady Coleman were amazingly generous with their time. Kjell invited me to see a full run (simulated spacewalk) at the Neutral Buoyancy Lab, which was Very Cool. And Cady gave me tons of details about how being inside a spacesuit was different as a woman than as a man, because the suits are designed for men. Catalog this as "things Mary Robinette did not think about".
If there are numbers on the page, those are real, hard science. Also, none of it is my math. There are two general sources for the math and computations. One of those is my rocket science consultant, Stephen Granade, who was with me for both books, providing math when I needed help. You can read more about that process here. The other source is Werner von Braun's Das Mars Projekt, which is technically a novel, but is really a dramatization of a technical handbook. He is widely regarded as one of the fathers of modern rocketry, and wrote this in 1947 with a plan to go to Mars using technology that was available, or easy to extrapolate, at the time. At the back of the book, he has tables of formulas and calculations. I borrowed liberally from that.
Elma approaches math like it's magic, with the same sense of wonder. That's what I want in my science fiction, especially when we're talking about rocket launches!
Honestly, the sexism is pretty much the same as it is now. Oh, there are differences in degrees, but being underestimated because of being a woman? That's a problem that hasn't gone away. So I had them navigate those waters using many of the same tools with which I navigate them today.
There's a tool for this:
https://www.purdue.edu/impactearth/
These are approximates but...
Set: Diameter = "Hartley"; Density = "8000"; Angle = 60 degrees; Velocity = 25km; Water of depth = 21 ft.
For distance, put in your distance from Chesapeake Beach.
If you think you are okay, remember winter is coming.
I would have read it at their age. But -- for full disclosure. I drop the f-bomb twice. It's earned, though. There's cursing, but no casual cursing. The main character is happily married so there are sexy-fun times. Penetration is implied but not depicted.

Awards Criteria
Philanthropy Awardees
2016 Philanthropy Awards
Back to Inyathelo
2013 Youth in Philanthropy
Patrick Mashanda
Founder of the Hope Warriors Children's Charity, Patrick Mashanda is the recipient of the 2013 Inyathelo Philanthropy Award for Youth in Philanthropy.
Patrick established Hope Warriors Children's Charity in Soshanguve north of Pretoria in response to the challenges he himself experienced growing up. He believes that the path to success is through education and devotes his time and energy assisting children make the most of their education.
Growing up in Zimbabwe, as one of 26 children of a polygamous marriage, he was only able to access education with the help of his uncle. Patrick is quick to point out that the support he received from his uncle changed his life and was instrumental in helping him move out of the cycle of poverty in which his family was trapped.
Patrick is fiercely passionate about supporting children in the same way so that they can succeed regardless of their life circumstances. He started using his own funds to feed vulnerable children living in Soshanguve, and then found a shack attached to a church where he could feed children, give them a safe space to play and help them with their homework.
He has now registered Hope Warriors Children as a non-profit organisation. To date about 80 children have been helped through Patrick's dedication and determination. Patrick has also used his personal funds to provide school uniforms, food and stationary for some of the children. He also allows youngsters in the community to use his personal computer to apply for jobs.
Patrick experienced the power that education can have in changing his life and he is now passing on this message in kind. He has provided a safe space and an enabling environment so children can do their best in difficult circumstances.

EXCLUSIVE: Ron Nyswaner has been set to adapt American Wife, the bestselling novel by Curtis Sittenfeld. The project is being funded by Red Crown Productions, whose Daniel Crown and Daniela Taplin Lundberg are producing with Marissa McMahon's Kamala Films.
Nyswaner, best known for scripting Philadelphia and The Painted Veil, will adapt a novel that follows the First Lady as she reviews her life on a day in which a scandalous secret threatens her husband's presidency, and their marriage. When the book was published in 2009, speculation was the characters were modeled after President George W. Bush and First Lady Laura: the husband grew up in a privileged background, was a hard-drinking sports team owner who became a Born Again Christian, moved from governor to the White House and backed an unpopular war. Taplin Lundberg said the book had the ingredients to be a modern day The Way We Were. Red Crown wrapped production on the Julianne Moore-Alexander Skarsgard-starrer What Maisie Knew and just wrapped the Christopher Neil-directed Goats, which stars David Duchovny and Vera Farmiga. Kamala recently acquired Go Down Together: The True, Untold Story of Bonnie and Clyde. Nyswaner is repped by UTA.
