California Moves Forward On Banning the Box
June 10, 2014 Employment DiscriminationBan the Box, California, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, felon, reentryBruce Reilly One comment
Members of the Formerly Incarcerated & Convicted People's Movement have led the fight to end (or at least slow down) employment discrimination. California has recently joined the ranks of states that will wait until they have offered before asking "Have you ever been convicted of a felony?" This new law only applies to state and local governments, but private employers such as Target have voluntarily changed their application procedure after the threat of a lawsuit upon their corporate headquarters in Minnesota.
On July 1st, Los Angeles is poised to become the largest city in America to switch to this more inclusive policy. "Los Angeles is the city of second chances," the Mayor Eric Garcetti said. "Somebody might have been arrested for prostitution, they might have been trafficked into it. They might be arrested for drug trade or gotten involved in gangs because they had no parents around. If we're a city that's going to be truly compassionate, and most importantly, that's going to move the entire economy forward, we can't leave these folks behind."
Although conducting background checks further along in the process (rather than on the initial application) does not ensure discrimination will not occur, it does force an employer to consider a criminal history in light of the fact that someone is right for the job. The employer can then decide if their past action is somehow related to the job at hand, and/or recent enough to cause concern. Furthermore, the prospective employees may explain about how their lives have changed, or the circumstances of what might be simply one tragic or unlucky day.
Those wishing to get more information, or involved with expanding this policy to all employers in the state of California, should contact All of Us or None, Legal Services for Prisoners With Children, or A New Way of Life.

California Prisoners Register to Vote

'Get out the vote' efforts go behind bars into LA's jails
By Rina Palta | From 89.3 KPCC
ROBYN BECK/AFP/Getty Images
The iconic Twin Towers Correctional Facility stands just northeast of L.A.'s skyline.
In the last few weeks before the Presidential election, "get out the vote" drives are in full gear nationwide. In L.A. County, there's even an effort to go behind bars to register jail inmates to vote.
On a recent Wednesday, Lt. Edward Ramirez joined a group of volunteers and L.A. County Sheriff's deputies heading into Twin Towers Correctional Facility in downtown Los Angeles to register inmates in a pod on the second floor of the eastern tower.
Twin Towers is across the street from another famous L.A. lockup: the Men's Central Jail. The skyscrapers sit just northeast of LA's classic skyline and have the look of a late century office complex. But their thin slats of window distinguish the buildings as what they are— home to L.A.'s maximum security inmates and those inmates needing psychiatric care.
Ramirez points out that Twin Towers have a podular, panoptic design that make the facility a geometric puzzle for those who don't work there every day.
Three sets of pods feed into a common day room, which sits in front of the observation booth's windows.
"You have officers in the booth who are able to see all the way around," Ramirez says. But as much as Twins Towers is a fortress, he says, it's a porous one.
"The bottom line is the majority of our inmates and the majority of prisoners in the state of California will be getting out at some time," Ramirez says.
People pass in and out of L.A.'s county jails every day. The average stay is about two years. Before the state prison system began sending non-violent prison inmates back to Caliornia's 58 counties under realignment, the average stay was 30 to 40 days.
Everybody locked up in the Twin Towers jail is a part of Los Angeles, Ramirez says. And the more they realize that fact, the better.
"They need to be involved in the social activities that most people who aren't incarcerated are involved with," he says. "And that includes casting a ballot and having your voice heard."
For the past few years Ramirez and other members of the Community Transition Unit have been going to every jail in L.A. County, registering those eligible to vote. Unlike in many states, a felony conviction in California doesn't disqualify a person from voting, except while they're serving their prison time.
Those serving jail time for a misdemeanor or who are on trial or awaiting trial can cast a ballot.
This year for the first time, the Sheriff's Department recruited volunteers to help register inmate voters and get them ballots.
Volunteer Fanya Baruti helped inmates who trickled in from the glassed-in cell blocks to fill out their paperwork.
"I'm one of those guys who didn't vote until I was 50 years old," Baruti says.
He says it's important for these inmates to vote because there are many issues on the ballot that affect them, from a proposition that would change three strikes, to school funding, to who'll be the next district attorney.
"People have shed blood and died for just being able to vote," Baruti says. "And so when we look at it historically, I think that should be empowerment enough to dispel the apathy that people have."
The biggest surprise in registering voters behind bars?
"A lot of Republicans," Baruti says.
The two-week registration drive garnered 1,269 new voters. Those who're in jail for the election will fill out their ballots absentee.

Know Your Sweets: Key Lime Pie
Published: September 26, 2013 Last Updated: August 9, 2018
Key lime pie [Photograph: Lauren Weisenthal]
Perhaps the most famous export of the Florida Keys outside of Ernest Hemingway and his six-toed cats, Key Lime Pie is a tangy, creamy delight made with sweetened condensed milk and the small, delicate limes of the region.

Lemon Meringue Pie, Florida Pie
Key Ingredient Spotlight: Key Limes
While a bright green version of the pie might be par for the course with drylanders, all residents of the Keys know that a real key lime pie is one color: pale yellow. While it can be difficult to find a true key lime today—the majority of the crop was wiped out during a 1926 hurricane—be warned that key limes are strikingly different from their Persian lime counterparts. For starters, Key limes are smaller and softer than Persian limes, with a thin, yellow rind that leaves them tarter and more aromatic. They also have a great deal of thorns, making harvesting them more difficult.
In 1965, legislation was introduced in an attempt to charge businesses advertising Key lime pie not made with Key limes a $100 fine. The bill, for better or worse, didn't pass.
While there are any number of variations on the key lime pie and, perhaps, a version to please practically any palate (Meringue topping or whipped cream? Cooked filling or chilled filling?), the real debate breaks out over the crust. Today, a pastry crust is widely used by cooks throughout the Keys, but the original recipe recorded by "Aunt Sally"—the anonymous cook credited with creating the recipe in the mid-1800s—is a crumbly graham cracker crust.
Key Region: Florida Keys
The Florida Keys [Photograph: Google Maps]
"Aunt Sally" was the cook of Florida's first millionaire, William Curry, and was said to have created and served this recipe at the Curry Mansion, which was constructed in 1855. Curry imported crates upon creates of sweetened condensed milk to the islands to serve as both a luxury item and to stave off malnutrition. It was gobbled up by top-tier buyers for their cooks.
While key limes might be the pie's namesake, it's really sweetened condensed milk that is the unsung hero of the dish. Contrary to popular belief, condensed milk was always used to create the pie, never heavy cream, gelatin, or other methods. Sweetened condensed milk was used profusely in the Keys, since fresh milk, eggs, and other perishables were difficult to keep for long stretches of time due to a lack of refrigeration and the region's isolated status until the construction of the Overseas Highway in 1930.
[Photograph: Robyn Lee]
While Curry's cook may get all the credit, the recipe is rumored to have been a favorite among the islands' sponge fishermen, who were accustom to cooking dishes with non-perishable ingredients during their long stints at sea.
It was widely rumored that Google would select Key Lime Pie as the name for their latest Android operating device. Sadly for all pie enthusiasts, it was revealed in early September that they would go the candy bar route instead, calling the operating system Kit Kat.

Over 300 Vespas from Europe arriving in Zagreb for CroVespa 2019
ZAGREB, Sept 6 (Hina) – More than 300 people from Europe who are faithful drivers of the Italian Vespa motorcycle will gather in Zagreb this weekend for the CroVespa 2019 event.
Participants will arrive from Croatia, Slovenia, Italy, Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, the UK, Ireland, Germany, Hungary and the Czech Republic, presenting their timeless cult bikes, the majority of which will be vintage models.
"This is the largest gathering of Vespa fans in Croatia, but is also international in character. The first one took place in 2007 and this is the 12th gathering in a row, which is always organised by one of the 13 local Vespa clubs. It's taking place in Zagreb for the second time," Rafael Culjak, president of the Vespa Club Croatia, has said.
The first Vespa was manufactured by Italy's Piaggio on 23 April 1946. Vespa means wasp in Italian. Aside from Italy, the motorcycle was also made in India, Indonesia, Taiwan, the UK and Spain.

Do medical schools look at all your previous transcripts?
My gpa is in the hole. I want to transfer to a new college and start clean.. but I keep hearing mixed opinions on whether med schools check everything.. help.. I am in chaos..
Yes they check everything, and you are required to send ALL transcripts from ALL schools that you attended. I even had to send transcripts from trade schools (no college credit given)!!!
Not to mention, you have to enter all grades from all institutions attended to match those transcripts.
If you're looking to "start clean", AACOMAS does grade replacement.
So will classes from a C.C. Such as Architecture classes add into the cumGPA?
Yes ALL classes count into you cumGPA (including architecture)...Also all science classes (as long as they fall into the Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Math categories (No math for AACOMAS)) count, regardless if they are 100 level or 500 level... Best of Luck!

Blade and Bow Threw a Dinner Party at the Historic Pappy Van Winkle Distillery
For bourbon enthusiasts, the historic Louisville property is magical.
Courtesy of Blade and Bow
The evening before this year's Kentucky Derby was a stormy one, but nothing could rain on an extravagant bourbon tasting parade that was going down at Louisville's Stitzel-Weller Distillery.
A retired race horse poses outside of Stitzel-Weller Distillery for an Oaks Day dinner.
For bourbon enthusiasts, the setting held particular significance as it was the former home to Pappy Van Winkle's original operation. For others (like yours truly) the party, which was hosted last year by KJP and a crew of notable tastemakers, was guaranteed to be the most elegant Oaks Day dinner in town.
Though it was originally to be set under the stars, the weather forced the dapper group of 150 bow-tie and sundress-wearing guests into a white tent draped with string lights, where long wooden tables covered with preppy plaids and calligraphied place cards evoked the spirit of a private member's club. The setting suited the event's sponsor, bourbon brand Blade and Bow.
Menus by Chef Ford Fry created to compliment the Blade and Bow tastings.
Pappy Van Winkle himself opened the distillery in 1935 on Derby day. Here, he crafted Old Fitzgerald, Weller, and Rebel Yell. After his death, his family continued to run the business there until 1992. (Today his eponymous blend is one of the rarest and most collectible bourbons circulating.)
In 2014, spirits company Diageo invested several million to reopen Stitzel-Weller and develop Blade and Bow Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. Even though it's a new blend, Blade and Bow pays homage to the craftsmanship of the legendary distillery. And this year, in honor of the 82nd anniversary of the opening of Stitzel-Weller Distillery, Blade and Bow has rereleased its 22-Year-Old blend.

Feeling Resistance During Addiction Recovery?
Feeling resistant during addiction recovery is expected.
It doesn't matter what road to recovery you're on, you're going to feel like things aren't working at some point. Don't give up. The road to recovery takes time, but staying on it is key to reaching your recovery goals. You may feel unsure, doubtful, or a combination of the two, but no matter how unclear things seem you can rest assured the road to recovery only leads to one destination.
Keep reading to learn more about some of the more common feelings of resistance below.
Denial of there being a problem with drugs and alcohol may still be playing a role.
Some men and women may not fully recognize the role they're playing in the addiction and resist taking full responsibility to recover.
Some people might not have experienced any real hardships as a result of their addiction and may not see a reason to begin recovery.
There may be a fear of the unknown of recovery and what life will be like without the use of drugs and alcohol.
There may be a fear that recovery will be boring.
Some men and women who have tried to recover and weren't successful may be resistant to trying again.
Some people may fear losing their friends and family if they go into recovery.
People may not have the ability to imagine themselves as someone who does not use drugs or alcohol. They may be identified with being an addict.
People might have a narrow idea about what recovery means, such as having to build a relationship with a higher power, without recognizing that there are many paths to recovery.
If you can relate to any one of these, talk them out. You might want to go to a 12-step meeting, if you aren't already, or visit a friend who is also working on their sobriety. There is a good chance that he or she can also resonate with one of the experiences above.
Resistance to recovery is so natural that professionals in the field of addiction are aware of it and call it ambivalence. In fact, there's a good chance that if you're in early recovery, you may be experiencing plenty of ambivalence. You may experience opposing inner forces – some that say recovery is precisely what you need and others that say you need to return to drinking or drug use. On the one hand, you might recognize the damage that drug use or drinking creates, and for this reason, you may want to stop. Yet, at the same time, the alcohol or drugs might bring an ease to challenging feelings, tumultuous thinking, and or a way to manage anxiety or depression.
As mentioned above, if you find yourself with these two opposing inner experiences, it's important to know that you're not going crazy. This can be a normal part of early recovery. However, you should get help for it. It's important to work through the pros and cons of recovery yourself so that you can arrive at a firm decision. Continuing to feel on the fence about recovery puts you in danger of relapse, while committing to recovery paves a clear path forward toward a safe future.

So you want to get lean, strong and toned, right?
Well, then you're gonna need to eat some quality protein!
Well, scientific research has repeatedly found that diets high in protein have been found to help people lose more fat AND get more toned.
Protein also helps fill you up, meaning you'll be less likely to eat too much food and put on body fat.
And to top it all off, eating plenty of protein also helps give you sleek, shiny hair and strong nails – not bad, eh?
So protein helps you look good AND feel good.
Now, choosing the highest quality protein sources should be your top priority if you want to lose fat, tone up and feel super-strong.
You DEFINITELY want to avoid getting protein from processed foods such as burgers, hot dogs, fried chicken and any other junk food. These come packed full of bad fats and additives that will make your skin greasy and spotty, plus they'll increase the chances of you getting serious life-threatening diseases like heart disease and cancer.
So, what foods are HEALTHY sources of protein?
Well, the majority of our protein should come from lean cuts of meat, fish, eggs, low fat dairy and whey protein (obviously if you are vegetarian or vegan this may not be possible!).
Fattier cuts of red meat and poultry CAN be eaten occasionally but these tend to be high in saturated fats and omega 6 fatty acids, which we don't want to eat too much of (more about this later).


Start 2019 by organizing your home and your life. If you do not know how to start, the Los Angeles Public Library has many books that can help you. For example, we have books written by the famous organizer guru Marie Kondo who has motivated millions of people to organize their home and life with her KonMari method. Her first book, The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing, was a best seller and has been translated into more than 30 languages. The KonMari method is so popular that in January of this year Marie Kondo started her own television series on Netflix where she helps people organize and live with fewer objects in their homes.
Get rid of all the things that you do not use and just leave what makes you happy. For example, if you have a pair of shoes that you have not worn in the last two years, it is time to get rid of those shoes. You can donate them or give them to someone who will use them!
Start organizing by category. For example, you can dedicate one day to organize your clothes. Start with small steps.
Part of being organized is knowing the methods of how to keep things in order. For example, with the KonMari method, you will learn the best way to fold your clothes, organize your papers, etc.
Create spaces for each object you have. To maintain order you have to make sure that you have assigned places for all your objects. For example, dirty clothes that are colored go in one bag and dirty clothes that are white go in another bag.
Create routines that will help you to always maintain an organized home.
Remember that organization will make it easy for you to keep your house clean and as a result, you will have more time to do things that make you happy.

That joyous, festive period is over and that over-bearing cycle of sleep-work-gym-repeat has begun all over again and DEAR GOD someone please tell me Christmas 2017 is coming around sometime soon? PUR-LEASE?
But you guys, I found a cure for those January blues.
It'll make you forget about that huge pile of work you've got mounting up on your desk and whisk you back into the land of all things cheerful and sweet with a splash of spice, even if it is for like, 5 minutes before you're like DAMN IT JANUARY, I forgot you're here again.
What is the cure? Well pals, it's a bloody good cocktail.
First off, I just wanna say that this is pretty similar to Irish Cream but hello heavenly cocktail gods, this is probably the best I've ever tried. The recipe comes from the Tequila Mockingbird Book which is so utterly adorable it's earnt a space on my beloved bookshelf. BTW the recipes are mainly in ounces and cups but there's a handy conversion guide at the end of the book (Shop here).
It's dead easy to make, delicious and seriously packs a punch; perfect for parties or y'know, sat with an open book and a huge pair of comfy socks for all of those hygge feels (note – sassy pinky wiggling whilst sipping is mandatory).
Ok, all you have to do is pour the rum and the coffee liqueur over ice in a tumbler. Pour the cream on top, give it a little mix and add a sprinkle of spice.
Now, drink to your hearts content and be safe in the knowledge that Christmas is only about 350 days away you nostalgic cuties.
Sounds and looks delicious. Cocktails fix everything, right?!
I don't think I have the stomach for this which is such a shame because it looks amazing!

Our Michigan Law Firm Serves Client Needs in Florida
By Barron, Rosenberg, Mayoras & Mayoras P.C.
All of us at BRMM extend hearty congratulations to partner Andrew Mayoras in passing the Florida Bar exam! With Andy's success, the firm is able to serve the needs of our Michigan clients who have residences or other needs in Florida.
While passing a bar exam may not seem like a difficult accomplishment, it really is! We have the data to prove it, including some fun facts about famous people who failed bar examinations.
Passing the Bar: Not As Easy As It Sounds
While passing a bar exam probably sounds like a simple feat to many people, it's not a sure thing by any means. The statistics on the Florida exam that Andy took tell part of the story: More than 2200 aspiring and practicing attorneys took the exam. Only 71% of those who took it passed — exactly 650 people failed that exam. Lawyers like Andy who are already admitted to practice did a little better, with a pass rate of 77.4%.
That's not the end of the story — or the most entertaining part. There are quite a few famous people who failed a bar exam. You know of these people, because they were very successful despite the fact that they didn't pass a bar exam. We're not trying to embarrass anyone — and we're not the first to share this information. But hey: We're proud of Andy!
There are a number of internet articles about famous people who failed bar exams on the first try. One in particular included these well-known public figures who don't share Andy's accomplishment of passing a bar exam on the first try:
Michele Obama
The former First Lady failed the Illinois Bar exam on her first try.
The former Secretary of State passed the Arkansas bar, but failed the District of Columbia Bar exam the first time she took it.
The current California governor — and longest-serving governor in California's history — did pass on his second attempt at the California Bar exam, but failed on the first try.
The former President of the United States failed the New York Bar exam the first time he took it.
Pete Wilson
The former California governor failed the California Bar exam three times before passing it on his fourth attempt.
The California Bar exam clearly is challenging. The former Mayor of Los Angeles failed the California Bar exam four times. Then he gave up.
The New York Bar exam is tough, too. The former New York City Mayor failed it.
Pat Robertson
The media mogul and former Southern Baptist minister is another victim of the New York Bar exam.
Richard Daley
Mayors and bar exams do not seem to mix well. The former Mayor of Chicago got elected six times. But he failed the Illinois Bar exam.
Governors seem to have the same problems with bar exams as mayors do. Former New York State Governor David Paterson failed the New York Bar exam.
On his third try, the young Kennedy finally passed the New York Bar exam. Maybe a very busy social life is an understandable excuse.
Why Our Florida Connection Matters
We had a little bit of fun illustrating the magnitude of Andy's feat. What is most important about his success it that it enables our firm to fully serve the needs of our Michigan clients with homes or other interests in the state of Florida, including matters involving estate planning and elder law, trust and estate administration, and probate litigation.
BRMM is proud of Andy. We are just as proud to be able to better serve the needs of our clients. We invite you to call us at (248) 494-4577 or complete our online form if we can help with your legal matters in Michigan or Florida, or in both states.

Book Review: Hot Flush, by Rosy Fenwicke
Posted on June 20, 2019 by booksellersnz
Available in selected bookshops nationwide.
Along with death and taxes, menopause is a guarantee in life if you are female. Although many women would also agree that men go through a manopause, but that is an entirely different subject all together. So really this is a book that has the potential to be a compulsory read for every woman. And so it should be!!! Not because of the big M and the many negatives that word and state of being evoke, but because it is a delightful, funny, slightly silly, uplifting, and very absorbing novel. The cover: who can resist a pug and a designer handbag?
The pug, going by the adorable name of Petal, belongs to Euphemia Sage, a 53 year old woman, happily married to Kenneth with whom she owns and manages a business consultancy – Sage Consulting. Both born and brought up in Wellington, they live close to the CBD, have two adult daughters and life is pretty peachy. Euphemia however knows that she has a predetermined destiny – she is genetically programmed, as the oldest daughter of an oldest daughter and so on back through time, that she will develop superhuman powers all in the name of doing good in the world. She has no idea what form all this will take but is very excited about the prospect of amazing things happening to her.
And suddenly they do! An old school friend, Jane, is in some serious trouble, and it appears that Sage Consulting's frumpy, grumpy, bedraggled receptionist Alison is somehow involved. Kenneth isn't much help as he has disappeared with Jane's husband and a few others to a weekend long golf tournament, leaving Euphemia, Jane and Petal to face up to the baddies.
You could quite easily see how this could descend into farce, complete silliness, stereotyped characters, and general mayhem. Well, let me tell you, it does not. This is as much a story of menopausal empowerment as it is a story of friendship, family, and simply getting on with it. Euphemia is such a great character – down to earth, hard working, determined, ever curious. She has her intolerances with people she knows as we all do, her husband is not perfect as most husbands aren't, but she still loves him as most of us do too. This all makes her so relatable that her superpowers when they do show themselves, are exciting and amazing, and not weird or creepy as one may think. She knows how to kick butt, and she does. The other characters – Jane, Alison, Malcolm, Grant, daughters Kezia and Nicky, are all very real people. There is some cliche attached to each, but they are also very human in their goodness/badness, the reader glimpsing into their makeup and motivations.
I loved this, just loved it, reading it one Friday night when I had the house to myself, a glass of wine in hand, well, more than one actually, music playing and the cat stretched out on my legs. Totally perfect. I cannot wait to read the sequel to this No Sweat.

Book Review: The Political Years, by Marilyn Waring
Marilyn Waring is a high profile academic with a long record of publications and service, and an international audience. So one wonders why she wants to write about her time as a very young National Party MP in the Muldoon era, a dismal period for government, in which she eventually became overwhelmed by the events of 1984 and the early election. Does she really need to set the record straight after so long?
In fact, it is good that she does return to the detail of what happened in the late 1970s and 80s to set the record straight. This book is much better on the detail of both policy and Parliamentary practice than most political biographies written soon after the events, and often at a rather mundane level. For example, Waring at one stage refers to her Parliamentary salary, how much she paid in tax and put into superannuation, and that she had to pay the support staff in her electorate and Parliamentary offices.
The main theme of the book can be seen from the choice of the photograph on the cover. Muldoon and his caucus appear on some steps in the Beehive for a publicity shot. Amongst all the bad suits and haircuts of the middle aged men one can see a lone woman in a very long skirt, clearly much younger than her colleagues. Yet the 23-year-old Waring does not appear in the back row, as the new backbench MP, but is near the front, just behind the male leadership. Waring writes that being the only woman in the caucus was gruelling, but she was also useful for electoral purposes.
There seems an inevitability about it all ending very badly for Waring, even without her own commitment to feminism and the political issues of the time. When she also actively campaigned against the 1981 Springbok Tour, including being assaulted at the Hamilton ground where the pitch was invaded, it is a wonder she even made it through the following election. But there is the point for those wondering why on earth she was actually in the National Party, when other feminist women from the Waikato ended up in the Labour Party: the political parties were different then.
Most of the interest in this book will be from feminist writers and those looking at political history on the basis of more female participation. But the book also comes so long after the events that most of the male protagonists are now deceased, or not active in public life. The main story might be how, from a very low base, more female candidates were elected and more positions of power were assumed by women.
But one has to look at Waring's book from another angle, and not based solely on gender politics. Waring was obviously a star student, and was encouraged into Parliamentary work by political scientists, who continued to support her. She also received a lot of local support in her electorate, and was able to shift that support after her Raglan electorate boundaries were re-drawn for the 1978 election. She also had a lot of opportunities for international travel, for study and official purposes, including a British parliamentary visit in 1980, and a Harvard fellowship the following year.
Waring made the most of her opportunities, including unplanned ones, like being in Jamaica at the time of Bob Marley's funeral in 1980. Perhaps it was not all bad. It certainly compares better than recent examples of younger National Party MPs.

Book Review: Working the Tang, by Nicola Easthope
Kāpiti Coast dweller Nicola Easthope's second collection, Working the Tang, plays on the word Tang's multi-layered meanings. In Old Norse it is a spit of land, as well as the point of a knife and the place where the sharp piece is inserted into the handle; in Middle English it is a serpent's tongue believed to sting; in the Orkney Islands it is the seaweed growing on the rocks above low tide, and 'wirkin' the tang' refers to the eighteenth-century kelp-burning industry. Easthope says it is 'the salt in the ocean winds' and 'the pressures and flavours that sharpen my writing'.
The book cover shows us two women, warmly wrapped in headscarves and long skirts, in what seems to be a hostile and chilly landscape. Stare at the picture and you can almost feel the cold, smell the smoke of the fire they tend and the salt of the seaweed as it burns. Easthope's poems strongly feature the ocean, speaking not only of the Coast where she now lives, but also reaching back into the past, across the sea to her British ancestors.
The poems in this collection make for a feast that is both sweet and tart. Our first taste is the catchy 'Salt blood song':
I'm six parts loch 'n' whisky
I'm two parts iron 'n' rose
I'm four parts gorse 'n' heather
I'm four parts broch 'n' stone
Leaving the Scottish ghosts to fend for themselves, the reader arrives at 'Terra Australis Incognita (after Captain James Cook)', where we find Captain Cook regarding the sight of smoke on land and thinking that this is a 'favourable opportunity'. His promises – 'you will come to no hurt' – are undercut by the line 'The cliffs are crumbling, the Indian lies / dead upon the ground'. Moving on again, the ghost of James K. Baxter crashes his own anniversary seminar to knock some microphones about. A teacher stares woebegone at the pile of papers to be marked on her desk: 'Oh, decrepit red pen! Oh, bloody Monday!' And the poet asks (with wry humour) the just question:
women don't earn
the same rate of pay
as men
because of the number
of absences due to
monthly sickness
does that mean
now that I am peri-menopausal
I will get a pay raise?
Easthope's awareness of the natural world around her and the human damage inflicted on the planet appears in the sight of chicks unsuccessfully trying to vomit up small bits of ingested plastic – 'an immortal coil of cap-tube-bottle'. At last we arrive at a lover in a 45 degree bath, rock pools reflecting silver, and a daughter's birthday. There's plenty of the flavour of contemporary life. From pop songs to rock star posters to roller skating to twitter, to date nights with Pineapple Lumps on ice. More seriously, 'White pearls, hanging ears' reminds readers of the importance of listening to other points of view, and being aware of Pākeha privilege.
Easthope's style is engaging and personal, but also elevated, patient, poetic. Some poems place the landscape before us and allow us to form our own conclusions. Others take us directly into a busy day, or into the bends and turns of thought. There is a willingness to experiment with poetic style: changing line breaks and leaving space between words, some of which amounts to offering readers a map and allowing them to choose the way between the phrases themselves. The poems are practised, but fresh.
Savour this collection slowly. It'll definitely leave a tang.

Book Review: Home Child – A Child Migrant in New Zealand, by Dawn McMillan, illustrated by Trish Bowles
Sarah-Rose has a Gran with an interesting family story. It's a story about children taken away from their families in Great Britain, put on a ship, and sent all the way to New Zealand.
London in 1950, just after the war. Pat was 11 years old, on a ship to New Zealand with her brother and sisters, none of them knowing what was ahead of them. It became even harder as time went on to even remember her mothers' face or what the old lino floor back home even looked like. Their family was very poor and after their mother left, they really struggled. They had no sheets or pillows and only old army coats to keep the family warm at night. Their dad just worried about how he was going to cope so suggested that they would be better off in New Zealand, believing it was temporary, and perhaps like Blackpool it would remind them of home. They were the poorest family in their street in London.
The day the children left home was cold but they were all wrapped up warm. They took the bus to the train station. Farewells were hard, with tears. The train stopped at the docks. What an occasion, with lots of other children, some with families and others with none, being boarded onto the ship for the long journey to New Zealand.
When they arrived in Wellington, New Zealand they stayed the night at a children's home. They then boarded another boat, a much smaller one that took them to the South Island. They then boarded a bus that took them to Nelson. Pat and her brother and sisters had hoped to be together in their new home, but their new "Aunty and Uncle" didn't want all of them – only Pat and her sister Shelia.
This is a story of another era. Today's generation would be horrified of the idea of families being separated like this. We live in a different world, thanks to technology, with instant communication around the world. If for some reason families had to be split up in a war-torn country and moved to another, at least they could keep in touch if both parties had the capacity. Many lost touch during this time in the 1950's never seeing any of their families again.
While Pat didn't see her dad again, this story does have a happy ending, and is a valuable piece of history for children to learn about.

Book Review: Filming the Colonial Past – The New Zealand Wars on Screen, by Annabel Cooper
The New Zealand Wars have given filmmakers from early days a rich source of material. One of the earliest filmmakers was Rudall Hayward, who initially made silent movies. He made 3 films featuring the New Zealand Wars. They were The Lady of the Cave 1922, Rewi's Last Stand 1925 and The Te Kooti Trail in 1927. A remake of Rewi's Last Stand in 1940 brought this film into the era of sound.
Rudall Hayward's family emigrated to New Zealand when he was 4 years old from England. His family came from a line of entertainers, touring with variety shows that included short films, sometimes locally made ones. Early films often depicting Māori were Europeans with their bodies dyed brown – shocking, and not at all convincing. Hayward's instinctive showmanship combined with genuine interest in making films about Aotearoa generated community involvement in his projects. They also drew in local townspeople and iwi.
This involvement with communities and local iwi has continued throughout the decades in New Zealand. It has become a very important part of telling of the history of how the relationship between Pākehā and Māori has developed through the centuries. The history of our own country is important and needs to be told – filmmaking is an excellent way of doing this.
Politics has also played an important part in how the stories are told, including the amount of money available to be able to portray and ensure these stories can be told. Television played an important part in this. Television drama series The Governor and independent film Utu, enlisted Māori advisors Don Selwyn, Merata Mita and Joe Malcolm.
Full length feature films River Queen and Rain of the Children were made with mixed reception by critics and the public alike. Many saw River Queen as a bit of a disaster, with delays in production because of lack of money and one of the main actors becoming ill.
Over the years Māori have become part of the mainstream acting community but in early years of colonial film-making, they were not encouraged to apply for parts. They were not seen as having the ability to portray what the writers and directors saw as qualities which would be accepted by the general viewing public.
As well as a change in the number of Māori actors, there has been an uptick in the number of Māori directors, with a number of well known and respected Māori film directors being part of film making history worldwide. Taika Waita and Lee Tamahori are two that a number of us have heard about – especially if you are a movie goer. Taika's Hunt for the Wilderpeople in 2016 gives a sideways glance to The Te Kooti Trail as the young hero Ricky (Julian Dennison) tells Bella (Rima Te Waita), 'I'm a Maori warrior and that bottle over there is a British Soldier, I'm defending my wives'.
Lee Tamahori has directed a number of very successful films here and overseas but the one most of us remember was Once were Warriors, which shocked a lot of New Zealand audiences who found the subject matter rather confronting. When he moved to Hollywood, he worked on films Die Another Day (the James Bond film from 2002) and The Edge.
The cost of producing historical drama have continued to rise but new technologies have reduced the cost of screen stories in other genres. Most films are now shot digitally, drones have replaced helicopters, and editing has become digitised.
One area of change that most of us of the older generation have noticed is that technology has replaced travel guide books. Travellers who want to engage with the past may choose a digital guide, the Waikato War Driving Tour app, a history of the wars created by the Māori Heritage team of Heritage New Zealand in 2013. More recently, The Ministry for Culture and Heritage have developed an app – The 1846 War in Wellington. They have connected sites, allowing a traveller to follow the paths of the wars while listening to the words of people who fought at each place.
This book is certainly a comprehensive and detailed look at film-making in New Zealand. While I found it a bit heavy going at times, it was overall a fascinating and enjoyable read. Who would it appeal to? Anybody really with a fascination with film and TV documentary and drama productions.

AWF19: Vincent O'Malley gives the Michael King Memorial Lecture
The New Zealand Wars | Ngā Pakanga o Aotearoa will be back in stock nationwide this week.
Friday lunchtime at the 2019 Auckland Writers' Festival and the ASB Theatre was packed out to hear Vincent O'Malley talk about The New Zealand Wars. He challenged us from the very start. We are still a nation in shock from the Christchurch massacre, so you could feel the attention of the audience focus on the speaker when he said this wasn't an unprecedented event. The change of mood was tangible. Māori lost their lives in a similar way. O'Malley's message is a simple one. We need to grow up. We need to act like grown-ups and own our history, warts and all. In the past we have chosen to ignore the story, in the same way we tossed aside the Treaty of Waitangi for over a century. Now we must recognise the profound influence that The New Zealand Wars have had on us all.
O'Malley spoke eloquently for an hour, filling in the gaps in our knowledge, helping to educate his audience. Two of his recent books have been very influential in moving our understanding forwards, first the massive The Great War for New Zealand: Waikato 1800-2000 in which he states that our defining conflict did not take place on the Western Front or at Gallipoli, but in the Waikato from 1863-64. A war of conquest and invasion by the Crown. His latest book, The New Zealand Wars: Ngā Pakanga o Aotearoa, was launched just before the festival. At 270 pages against the almost 700 pages of the earlier book, this seeks to be a digestible guide, something that can be read and used in schools as a basic text book.
O'Malley's talk was full of facts, many of them surprising. For example, two-thirds of the British army during the New Zealand Wars were Irish, and many became disillusioned with what they were doing. There were too many parallels with the treatment of Ireland. Many of the soldiers ended up marrying the Māori women from the iwi they had conquered. They had been fighting against people who had no standing army, people who were fighting for their lives and their lands.
In the 1850s there was a brief time of peace and prosperity. O'Malley reminded us that at that time Māori were driving the economy and the country's exports. They were producing enough food to feed large cities like Auckland as well as themselves. It was in the 1860s that peace was shattered, war broke out in Taranaki and it appears that Governor Grey was determined to destroy the Kingitanga. 'There was nothing noble about the massacres,' O'Malley reminded us, and the execution of hundreds in Gisborne is 'a stain on our history'.
We are still living with the consequences of that time of war today. Three million hectares of land were confiscated, and those confiscations were indiscriminate, with those who did not fight or sided with the crown also losing their land. 20% of Māori in Gisborne were killed, compared to the 5% of the population that were killed in the First World War.
O'Malley's call to action is that we teach our own history in our schools and look after our battle sites. We must make sure our children know about this and we must get around the hang-ups that the Ministry of Education still has about the whole subject. Only by doing this will we break some of the intergenerational problems that have built up. We need to lobby both local and central government for more to be done. The sites that relate to our history are often neglected and hard to find. We need to make people aware and interested, create trails and history that we can follow on the ground.
The talk ended with rapturous applause for O'Malley and all he is trying to do.

Book Review: With Them Through Hell: New Zealand Medical Services in WW1, by Anna Rogers
Posted on May 20, 2019 by booksellersnz
Alongside the New Zealand soldiers who fought in World War I, there was a large team of dedicated medical (and veterinary – New Zealand also sent about 10,000 horses) personnel who did everything they could to save lives and treat the injured. Anna Rogers has painstakingly researched the history of the medical services and tells their story in all its gory detail, right from the early days when female doctors, nurses and volunteers had a battle on their hands just to be allowed to serve overseas.
With Them Through Hell is an extremely comprehensive book on the medical services, more of a history textbook than a book you would sit down and read in one sitting. It certainly isn't a jolly hockey-sticks tale of what went on – it's a far more sobering and factual account, and anyone reading it will be shocked at the challenges they dealt with on a daily basis, both in the lead-up to their dispatch to the war zones and also during the conflicts.
Divided into four sections – Feeling the Heat; From Chaos to Care; Unexpected and Unsung; and Maimed and Mended, which are then further divided into a total of 16 chapters – the book goes into great detail about the part these medical personnel played in the war. There are numerous photographs (predominantly black and white, apart from reproductions of oil paintings) and also copies of letters and cartoons. The photographs illustrate the conditions they worked under, but the text carries far more detail about the hardships they endured during the war.
It must be hard to tell the story of so many people over many years without using quotes from both published and unpublished sources, but I found the quoted material tended to slow my reading of much of the book. This was particularly noticeable in some sentences that contained more than one partial quote, as there was no attribution alongside. The book is substantial, so flicking to the footnotes at the back was not something I wanted to keep doing, and often the source would just be given as a newspaper article.
I read the introduction and then dipped in and out of the book, reading chapters that particularly interested me rather than reading from start to finish in sequence. As each chapter is comprehensive in itself, this is a reasonable way to proceed.
It is great that the medical services' dedication to duty has been recognised and given its own tribute in With Them Through Hell. For historians and those who work in the medical services today, this book will be a fascinating history of the work carried out by medical personnel and the pioneering advances in treatment they made under extremely difficult and dangerous circumstances.

Somehow the 4th of July being on a Wednesday really threw me off. I couldn't really get into things. I ended up sleeping way later than what I planned, and then I just couldn't really wake up all day.
We went to the gym for the first time in forever, so that felt really good. When we got home we went on a nice little walk with Addie. Everything is so gorgeous outside right now. It's at that perfect time of year before everything starts dying and the grass turns all brown from the horrible heat.
Then we went and ate at Cheesecake Factory and undid any good that we could have possibly done at the gym or on our walk. After consuming approximately 2000 calories, we went to the movies and saw Ted. Arsen really liked it, and there were definitely some funny parts, but some of it was a little too much for me. Seeing that sweet little teddy bear in some of those situations was a bit disturbing. It was one of those kind of stupid-funny movies that you have to really be in the mood for. But I did get a few good laughs out of it, so no complaints.
The good news is the random day off should make the rest of this week go super quickly! Only two days until the weekend, thank goodness. Our friends Katie and Q are visiting again with their pup Oliver, so I'm pretty excited about that. Love having something to look forward to on the weekends...makes the work much more enjoyable :) Have a great rest of the week!
That Wednesday off really threw me off as well. All day I kept thinking it was Saturday. I really hope these next two days fly by!
hey cheesecake factory is not uneventful!! I Havent been there in years and have been dying to go!
It really didn't feel too much like a holiday. And we pretty much did the same thing yesterday. Slept in, gym, then ruined it by eating way too much. Let's hope the rest of the week goes by fast!
I hear ya! It just didnt seem right to have to get up this morning and come to work. I was lazy yesterday too and ate too much but it was fun. I love Cheesecake factory- probably one of my fave places. They have the best pomegranate mojito EVER!!
I LOVE the calamari over at Cheesecake, did you have any?! And I've heard the same EXACT review of Ted, I didn't like the visuals of some of things that teddy bear does... Lol anyways have a great short week girl!!
The 4th being in the middle of the week threw me off, too. I had a good time, but I feel like I got to have two Mondays at work today and that sorta stunk.
I totally know what you mean about having to be in one of "those" moods to like a movie like Ted. I haven't seen it, but it seems like it's one of those kinds of movies. Maybe I'll wait for it to come out on Netflix lol.


Ultimately they narrowed their search to favor the relatively larger homes and larger yards of the Beaumont area.
On second look, Brandon began to reconsider the appeal of the five bedroom, three full bath house on Barnwell Lane.
"One of the reasons we picked this house is the ranch layout," Brandon said, pointing out that the 14 and 18 foot ceilings help distinguish the home from a typical ranch.
The house provided numerous opportunities for the Hufstetlers to shape it into something they could be proud of.
The energizing light-filled open floor plan you see today had not yet been realized. There were walls to take down in the entry way, bookcases to be reconfigured, a narrow entrance to the kitchen to be expanded, and much more.
Jennifer and Brandon were well-prepared for the formidable tasks ahead of them. They had overseen the remodeling and updating of their last two homes in Texas.
During the remodel, their focus was on adding value and pleasing their own sense of design. The result is a beautifully updated move-in ready home that feels brand new.
Jennifer explains how the process worked.
The fabulous master bath is a favorite for Jennifer. Many changes were made during the renovation including removing a wall -- which opened up the space and brought in more light.
The bathroom floor is decked out in a unique Carrara basketweave marble flooring which complements the Carrera marble countertop. Other notable amenities include a glassed in shower and a bubble jet tub.
Jennifer also enjoys the laundry where wire shelves have been replaced with custom shelving and a custom drying rack.
Brandon enjoys the openness of the walkout basement that includes two bedrooms and a full bath.
Brandon also likes being only five minutes away from Bluegrass Airport, and having an easy commute to his job on Newtown Pike where he is Director of Sales and Business Development at Tempur Sealy International.
These days Jennifer is taking a break from the business world after spending the last 10 years as a pharmaceutical sales rep for Merck. She is currently expecting their second child and has an eye on their next remodeling challenge.
This week's featured home is listed with Realtor Meredith Lane of The Lane Team at Keller Williams Bluegrass Realty. To see more images, visit the Homeseller gallery at Kentucky.com.

Sankta Ingrids gille är en hembygdsförening i Skänninge i Mjölby kommun, Östergötland, som bland annat driver tre museigårdar och dessutom har ansvar för ett museum med ortens historiska samlingar. Föreningen grundades 1926 under namnet Skeninge Fornminnes och Hembygdsförening. Dess nuvarande namn anknyter till ett tidigare kloster i staden, S:ta Ingrids kloster. I föreningens samlingar, som finns i stadens gamla rådhus från 1700-talet, beskrivs bland annat Skänninges storhetstid som handelsplats och religiöst centrum mellan 1200-talet och mitten av 1500-talet. Dessutom visas minnen från både modernare och äldre tid, bland annat Sveriges äldsta familjegrav som är från 1000-talet.

De tre museigårdarna i kulturreservatet "Gamla Skeninge" ägs av kommunen, men sköts av Sankta Ingrids gille, som även äger föremålen. Gårdarna har olika teman. Sandbergsgården visar upp en borgarmiljö från 1800-talet, med inslag av äldre stil och bevarade originalmålnigar från 1700-talet. Där finns även en stor trädgård med äldre växter och fruktträd samt lusthus. Axbomsgården är ett skolmuseum med inventarier från 1800-talet. I Sjölingården har varje rum sitt eget tema, till exempel apotek, allmogekök och handelsbod. Alla hus står på sina ursprungliga platser, med undantag för skolmuseet som har flyttats ett tiotal meter. I området, som invigdes 1959, finns även en traditionell örtagård som är uppförd på Allhelgonakayrkans (från tidigt 1100-tal) begravningsplats.

Turning A Passion Into A Career Talking About Art With John Burns
By Cookie Steponaitis
Many Americans are talented individuals who have placed their talents in the category of a hobby. They quite reasonably talk themselves out of pursuing it as a career only to find their lives crossing paths with their passions repeatedly until a change is warranted. Case in point, John Burns! John first fell in love with art and drawing when he was in junior high school at MacArthur High School in Hollywood, Florida. He saw posters that advertised movies and music concerts and he was hooked.
Sharing Memories With Educator Diana Cotter
By Marcie Bolton
Diana Cotter is a former educator, who originally came to Vermont in 1959 to attend Middlebury College.

Diana left following graduation to Los Angeles. She taught primary education for 50 years, and was a curriculum designer for the Los Angeles Unified School District. She worked in The Support Network helping teachers become nationally board certified. [ more ]
Tigers Take On Redhawks
Home-field advantage in the Vermont high school D-I football quarterfinals was on the line as Champlain Valley Union hosted Middlebury on a cool autumn afternoon. Middlebury had their eyes on the prize as the third seed, which they succeeded in attaining with a 27-21 victory over the Redhawks. Call it an echo of last year's win where the Tigers won 27-6 over CVU on Doc Collins' field.
