While I'm not going to argue that this is the perfect time in the school year to take a break—it's not too hot and not too cold and we were just starting to resist waking up in time to catch the bus—I will complain that it's kind of a lame time for Andrew to not be on break. So though he has classes, which means we're stuck in town all week long, we decided to cram as much as possible into the weekends. After all, this is like the "rest" of our summer break.
On Friday we were supposed to get up and go to a friend's birthday party before leaving for Wilmington. However, it was also raining when we woke up, so the party was postponed. We made a split-second decision to get everything ready and loaded up before Andrew left for campus so that we could just go with him. It would save us about an hour of down time. So we scrambled to get all five of us ready to go and packed into the van.
Our neighbour saw us packing and asked where we were headed.
"We're going camping!" the girls excitedly explained.
"For a week?" she asked, noting the amount of stuff we'd already crammed into our van.
"No. Just for one night," we told her.
She giggled at us, a lovely, lilting laugh.
"You sure are taking a lot of stuff!"
And that was true. But we were packing for five people! We had the tent, our bedding (including a pack'n'play and an air mattress), a box of non-perishables, a cooler of fridge-worthy food, a cooler of water, multiple flashlights, a ukulele, a hiking backpack, firewood, camping chairs, and other camping necessities. Further, because we were planning on going to the beach we had all of our beach hud, too: swim suits, towels, boogie boards, and so forth.
I think that if we had been going camping for a week we would have brought about the same stuff, adding only a few extra changes of clothes and some more food.
We hung out on Duke campus while Daddy went to class. He left us in the parking lot while he ran to class (we were running a little late) and I sat and fed Benjamin while the girls read. After Benjamin finished nursing we made our way to the Sanford building, trying to follow the directions Daddy had given us. Unfortunately, my sense of direction slash my ability to remember verbal directions is a little weak. I didn't watch enough Dora as a child.
"We have to go through the soccer field," I recalled. "And then..."
If only Dora had been around when I was younger I would have remembered what to do next. What happened instead was this:
"And then we go this way...I guess."
I figured that we'd eventually either get to the Sanford building or we'd get so incredibly lost that Andrew would call us when he got out of class, ask us where we were, and bring the van around to collect us. I finally admitted to the girls, who were complaining about having to walk so far, that I was a little bit lost.
"I have no idea where we are," I said.
"Don't worry, Mom," Rachel reassured me. "Duke's a loop...I think."
The good news is that we eventually did make it to the Sanford building. Andrew laughed when I told him the way we'd come, but I told him just to be impressed that I'd made it there at all. We seriously had time to go to the bathroom and walk along a wall before he came out of class (that's how long we'd been walking), and then we were on our way.
We made it to Wilmington—and beyond to Fort Fisher—in record time. No stops.
Even more miraculous was that all the kids—even (and perhaps especially) Benjamin—stayed dry! I suppose we pretty much expect the girls to not wet their pants on road trips anymore, but we do expect them to beg to pull over so we can find a restroom. Benjamin, however, surprised us with his ability to "hold it." After his yeast infection fiasco, I started potty training in full force and he's seemed to pick it up fairly well. We were all so excited for him (he stayed dry the entire day)!
Since I'm busy talking about stuff that will embarrass my children in the future, please ignore the way Miriam is holding up her pants in all the pictures. The poor thing has a tiny waist and no bum and is growing a little gangly. She'll be four next month. These pants are size three (she still often wears 2T) but they don't stay up worth a darn even though they're a little short in the leg. She was hiking them up all day. This might be part of the reason she often chooses to wear dresses.
Anyway, Fort Fisher was pretty cool. We didn't spend much time inside the museum. It looked pretty neat but everyone was anxious to head outside. Besides, their signs could really use an overhaul—many of them were completely illegible, with letters worn off or the plastic coverings being so scratched up. Outside the signs were pretty run-down, too, but the children were happier there.
The fort itself was pretty cool. We learned that Fort Fisher was the "largest earthen coastal fortification in the Confederacy" and that "the two largest land-sea battles in history until that time took place here Dec. 24–25 and Jan. 13–15, 1865 resulting in the fall of the fort." The fort stretched through much of the island, though not much of it remains. The ocean has been creeping inland so the fort has slowly been going out with the tide. They've built up the beaches surrounding the remains of the fort—with boulders and breakers and so forth—in the hopes of keeping it around for a while longer. We went on a lovely walking tour of part of the fort.
There were lovely-looking climbing trees off the trail a ways, but we were continuously reminded not to enter the forest, much to Rachel's disappointment.
We enjoyed the little boardwalk over the marsh.
When I first saw the ship-loading cranes I thought they looked like giraffes off in the distance. I was like, "What in the world?!"
The boardwalk spat us out inside the fort. Rachel and Daddy immediately raced up the stairs to the top, where Rachel quickly saw how the height of the walls gave the Confederates such an advantage. "You can see everywhere from up here!" Exactly.
We were in awe of the cannon, of course.
Back down the stairs we go...
Here we are by one of the doors leading inside the wall (it was locked).
At the end of the walking tour of the fort, you could either take a path back to the museum or you could cut across a field and take a dirt path up to the road where a crosswalk was waiting to help you get to the other side. The dirt path up the embankment certainly didn't look official...until you got up to the crosswalk.
Miriam had a hard time making it across the field because it was sprinkled with yellow flowers.
She, of course, had to stop and pick them and she chattered away while she was picking.
"This field would be a perfect soccer field! Look how big it is and how it's just perfect. And I love these flowers. I'm going to pick you a bouquet. Is soccer for girls or is it just for boys? I think soccer is for girls and boys. I'm talking about soccer, you know, not suckers. Suckers are really good and soccer is really good. But I'm talking about the game soccer that you play with a ball. Sucker is another word for lollipop. It's like a candy that I love but it's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about soccer the game and how this would be a perfect place to play it. Here—these are for you!" she said.
I laughed at her because sometimes I just can't help it.
"What?" she asked.
"That was just funny, that's all," I said.
"I know," she said. "I'm a funny girl."
"Yes, you are," I agreed.
"And I'm a smart girl! And a cute girl! Three things! I'm three things in one!"
I'll confess right now that I've never actually read Anne of Green Gables (but I just started it and loved the TV show when I was a kid). However, I must say that the way my children are prone to monologuing certainly reminds me of Anne.
I love that Miriam loves life so much.
We crossed the road and caught up with Rachel and Daddy who were busy watching these bugs busily...mate. There were pairs of them all over these flowers, dancing, mating, laying eggs. It's like fall is in the air or something.
Here's a monument that stands at the once-headquarters of Fort Fisher:
And here are the girls and I doing "eagle pose" in front of the monument (because there is an eagle on top, obviously):
We made it to the beach and saw the preservation efforts that had been put in place to keep the island from eroding further:
Then we made our way down to the beach. Rachel, of course, was the first one to make it down there and though we called out after her "Don't get wet!" she was already in up to her thighs by the time we caught up with her. Fortunately, that's as far as she got...
Miriam was a little slower picking her way over the rocks and down to the sand.
And that's as far as she got. No need to tell her not to get wet.
In fact, I had to beg her to "just get a little closer."
"Just up to here—where the sand is still dry. The water's not going to come all the way up here! You can come play here. You'll be fine. I just want you at the top of the hill then, so I can see you. No, don't go any further. Come back here. I promise—the sand is still dry! You're going to be fine!"
I wanted to go stick my toes in the water with Rachel but I also didn't want to leave Miriam out of sight.
Andrew came back to deal with Miriam while I went to splash with Rachel.
Rachel was having a grand old time with her friend, the ocean.
Andrew brought a terrified Miriam much closer to the ocean than she wanted to get.
She made a break for it the minute he put her down.
After watching Miriam run away in terror, Benjamin was no so sure he wanted to meet the ocean, either.
I don't know why he didn't just follow Rachel's example instead!
Here are Rachel and I enjoying the water while Benjamin clings to me for dear life:
And here I am all agape about how cold the water is. It actually wasn't so bad once you got used to it but that initial blast was plenty chilly!
Two of our three children were thrilled when we said it was time to leave the beach. The other one cheered up when we reminded her we were going camping.
We had to make a couple of stops on our way back to the van, however, because Benjamin, who insists on walking more and more, was pretty sure this bench needed to be climbed on. He thinks that most things need to be climbed on.
"Isn't he adorable?" Andrew asked, snapping a picture.
Upon hearing the word "adorable," Miriam climbed up on the bench to show off her cute side, too.
And then Rachel climbed up as well.
My first thought when I saw this picture was, "Where did Rachel come from?!"
Miriam and Benjamin are basically identical twins. And then there's Rachel.
I know exactly where she came from, of course. With my brown hair and my skin tone, it's perfectly clear she's my little girl. She's my little Laura Ingalls, except she looks like her Ma instead of her Pa, while the other kids look like their Pa. I suppose, in truth, that all three look like both of us—they're just exhibiting our traits differently.
Anyway, here's some more of Benjamin's cuteness because you can never have too much of that:
I was so in love with all the fanciful beach houses, each house on stilts painted a vibrant rainbow hue. The whole place just looked cheery.
And then there was this sad little 1940s trailer park:
It looked a little sad and ghetto next to all the swanky new beach homes. But it turns out that Fort Fisher was a training facility during WWII, which would mean that these were the barracks, I suppose. They're still owned and operated by the military.
We were all pretty excited to get to our campsite—at Carolina Beach State Park—because that meant we could have dinner soon (we were all rather hungry). The girls helped Daddy set up the tent while I nursed Benjamin again.
When he was finished we plopped him in the pack'n'play and told the girls to keep him happy while Daddy and I made some actual headway on the tent situation. We'd forgotten a hammer (among other things) so we used a log to pound in the stakes.
Benjamin was pretty sure he didn't want to be in the pack'n'play...
Rachel forgot she was supposed to be entertaining him and she sat down to take some notes on her day while he did his best to escape.
Fortunately, he's pretty short, so his attempts were futile. He'd resigned himself to his fate by the time we had the tent set up.
In fact, he was quite enjoying himself.
I'm sure he didn't understand why this was so funny, but he quickly figured out that when he rubbed his face up and down the mesh siding he could get everybody to laugh at him. (It's easier to see these pictures when they're small...)
The girls helped Daddy make the fire. Andrew was so proud of that fire—it's his first solo fire-building experience (aside from the "assistance" of two little girls). He'd started fires several times in his scouting days—but only tiny ones that were put out as soon as the requirement was passed off. This was his first time building a roaring fire by himself.
It was perfect for roasting our hot dogs.
Miriam kicked back in her camping chair to eat her dinner, like some sort of exotic, barefooted, filthy dirty, urchin princess.
Rachel was happy that she convinced us to buy a third adult-sized chair so that she had somewhere to sit, too. It boggles my mind that she's outgrown the kid-size chairs.
Our campsite was fairly close to the bathhouse (you'd better believe we picked our campsite based on how many yards it was to the bathhouse) and the girls loved "leading the way." Miriam, especially, had this self-important swagger she'd adopt when she was the one carrying the lantern to light the path.
After s'mores and songs around the campfire (accompanied on the ukulele by yours truly), the girls went to bed without putting up much of a fuss. They still had most of the comforts of home: their favourite blankets, their favourite dolls, and water bottles. We still read from The Horse and His Boy and even the sounds of the forest weren't scary to them because, frankly, the sounds of our backyard rival (and perhaps out-croak, out-click, out-buzz, and out-hoot) even the densest of North Carolinian forests (or at least the forest of Carolina Beach State Park).
With the girls tucked in (Miriam fell asleep right away but Rachel stayed up to read Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (which she finished this afternoon...after starting it on Friday)), Andrew (and Benjamin) and I settled down for some reading—he brought a bunch of articles to plow through while I enjoyed a bit of Anne of Green Gables (while Benjamin enjoyed his milk and cuddles)—while the fire died down. When the coals were just about perfect (and just after I put Benjamin down for the night) I remembered that we'd packed some jiffy-pop, and while the instructions implicitly state not to pop it over the campfire, we couldn't resist trying it (the internet said we could).
Andrew was super excited about it.
At the very end, the bag burst open and the force of that sent the coals scattering but other than that our popcorn turned out beautifully. Once the fire had gone out completely, we went to bed, which was quite the feat! We only managed to blow the air mattress up halfway before we gave up (we used the car as our power source and didn't want to run it forever) so it was a very unstable bed.
We had to lie very still or we risked bouncing the other off the mattress (and onto the children, who were sleeping on the floor). It was like sleeping in a water bed...but also like sleeping in a hammock. It was neither terribly comfortable, nor entire uncomfortable. It was just very wibbly-wobbly. And aside from getting rained on, it was a good night!

Seriously? You are just NOW reading the Anne books?!!! I am a bit shocked. How did I not ever insist that you read them; Canadian classics as they are?!!!
And also, Miriam is so funny!
Nancy September 23, 2013 at 1:06 PM
I know--we even had them in our house. Unfortunately they were deemed unlendable so I never got the chance to read them. We have a paperback of Anne of Green Gables and the rest of the set can be purchased for kindle for 99 cents. So far it seems like a good read-aloud book...
Actually they're available on project Gutenberg as well...so we'll probably do that. Free is cheaper than 99 cents. :)
Glenda The Good September 23, 2013 at 6:14 AM
Fun trip and nancy I say this with love but spring for some adjustable waist skinny jeans for Miriam. You can get them at children's place when they do20-30% off for like 8 dollars or check out eBay or a children's consignment store. Target does some really cute pairs to but I always wait until they are on clearance. Anyway trust me on this. I have Gigi and captain e. all legs no girth. I just pull those elastics as tight as I can get them and if they are skinny jeans they have less fabric to bunch :)
Tamsin North September 23, 2013 at 11:22 AM
1) I love the picture of Benjamin not wanting to get wet.
2) camping with children boggles the mind. Go Heisses!
3) Pants with adjustable waistbands save the day for Espen and his snake hips. Definitely give them a try if you haven't already.
Handy Dandy September 23, 2013 at 3:33 PM
She probably didn't read them because you gave all the ANNE books to me :D
Malachi quite often narrates his life too... I actually looked it up because his narration has increased dramatically over the past year but alas, it's just a way that some children learn. I think it's weird he's picked it up now though... Cute pictures of your kids! I always like to hear what you guys are doing. You're such a good mom.
Well, I wasn't going to name any names about who wouldn't lend them to me...but since you outed yourself... :P
Love you, Abra! :)
Oh crap, that's me, Abra again.
Rachel's pants all seem to have adjustable waists. But the pants Miriam is in (Rachel's old pants) don't. My kids hardly ever wear pants so they usually are in good enough condition to be passed down. I'll have to see if we have any adjustable waist ones that would fit Miriam length-wise.

This Good Friday prayer can be used with a group, at a Good Friday service or as a personal Good Friday prayer. On Good Friday, we remember the trial, conviction, scourging and crucifixion of Jesus. We also recall how he died and was buried in a borrowed tomb. Some Christian traditions observe 3 hours of silence from 12 to 3 PM to commemorate the three hours Christ suffered on the cross before his death. Others drape the altar in black and extinguish lights. This Good Friday prayer can help you mediate on the enormity of the sacrifice of Christ to redeem the world.
Dear Jesus, We come to you in prayer today on Good Friday remembering the day you were tried, convicted, mocked, beaten and crucified. We remember how You died and were laid into the tomb amid the sounds of incredible grief, fear, shock and sorrow.
Instead of jumping ahead to the happy ending where you arose from the dead on Easter morning, help us to meditate today on Good Friday on your great sacrifice, suffering and pain that you endured for our sake and for the sake of the whole world. In our greatest times of suffering we realize that we never have suffered as you did. You deserved life, honor and praise. Yet you willingly chose death, dishonor and ridicule in order to complete God's plan.
You could have opened your mouth and with just a few words you could have answered your accusers and proven them to be frauds, hypocrites and liars. Yet you remained silent. You could have called legions of angels, and yet you submitted your back to cruel scourges. You could have called down fire from heaven, yet you instead allowed the blood to flow from your hands and feet onto the wood of the cross. You could have called a fiery chariot like Elijah and been taken up into heaven, yet you chose for your lifeless body to be laid down into a cold dark tomb.
Jesus, I am overwhelmed by the depth of your sacrifice. May I sit in silence and allow myself to look with an open heart toward the cross. Help my knowledge of your suffering and crucifixion journey move from my mind and settle into my heart. Help me to feel the tension between great sacrifice and great love, between suffering and redemption, between death and life, between the fleeting and the eternal. Help me to experience the unseen force of Grace and obedience and weep with both joy and sorrow at the great cost.

Cape Town - The Highveld Lions' matchwinning streak came to an abrupt end when they suffered a five-wicket defeat at the hands of the Australian outfit, the Sydney Sixers, in their Champions League Twenty20 Group B match at Newlands on Thursday.
It was the Lions' first defeat in three matches and they would have to wait for their next match against Yorkshire on Saturday to nail down their semi-final berth, with the Sixers becoming the first team to seal a semi-final berth.
The Sixers started solidly chasing a winning target of 138, as Michael Lumb and Shane Watson added 60 runs in nine overs for the first-wicket.
However, their charge was abruptly halted when spinner Aaron Phangiso was brought on and immediately captured the wickets of Lumb (22), Dominic Thornely (0) in the eigth over.
Three overs later he claimed the all important wicket of Watson (47), to leave the Sixers reeling on 73 for four.
It was an inspirational spell by Phangiso, who took three for 14 off his four overs, but the Sixers were still left with a relatively easy task of closing the match with some experienced batsmen to come.
Sixers skipper Brad Haddin restored the status quo with some big hitting that included three sixes and a four in his 32-run knock, which effectively put the side within a whisker of victory, and it eventually came with an over to spare at 141 for five off 19 overs.
Earlier, the Lions were sent into bat after they lost the toss, and this was their first chance in three matches to set a target rather than their preferred run chase.
Gulam Bodi anchored the innings for the greater part of the 20 overs and could only stand and watch as five batting partners return to the dressing room.
The only partnersip of note during that period was one of 32 for the second-wicket with Quinton de Kock.
The other noteworthy partnership, which kept the Lions' scoreboard ticking over, was a fith-wicket stand of 29 between Bodi and Jean Symes.
However, Bodi's role came to an end one ball into the 18th over with his score on 61 (44 balls, 4x4s, 3x6s) and the total on 120 for five.
It was left to in-form Symes to step up the tempo, but he failed to come to the party and was dismissed five balls later give Mitchell Starc his third scalp of the innings to finish with three for 19.
Starc was splendidly supported by medium-fast pacemen Josh Hazlewood (2/18) and Shane Watson (2/25).
Together the trio restricted the Lions to a fairly modest total of 137 for nine after 20 overs.


My wife edged closer to me as we stared down at the Hunter. He had just emerged from the crawl space underneath the garden hut.
"You've been hearing the sounds for how long?" he asked, pulling himself into a sitting position.
"Hard to say," I replied. "Maybe three, four weeks? Mostly it's twigs snapping, like footsteps. Last night was the first time I heard the whispers. That's when I decided to call you. Is it what we thought?"
"Yes," he said, nodding. "Free-range children. Quite a large brood, too, judging from the space they've excavated under the hut. Their typical dens are much smaller. This may be a communal gathering point."
"God Almighty!" I blurted out. "I knew they were active in this area, but -- do you have any idea where they're coming from?"
He stood up slowly, brushed the dirt from his coveralls, and pointed west. "I followed their spoor through several properties in that direction, but it doesn't tell us much about their point of origin. Hold on, though, let me show something that might help."
He bent over, reached under the hut, and pulled out a wad of paper scraps and other litter.
"There could be some clues in this stuff," he said. The mass of detritus included numerous Bazooka Joe gum wrappers, three partially eaten Big Hunks and one tattered issue of Cricket.
"The Bizbees," my wife said immediately. "They live in the direction you pointed. Their daughter, Sedona, she got in huge trouble at school for copying stories from Cricket and claiming she wrote them."
"Sounds like an intelligent, dominating personality," the Hunter replied. "She may be the group leader."
"What are the options here?" I asked. "I don't want some brazen little twit honing her plagiarism skills in my backyard. Do we need to set some traps?"
"The term I prefer is 'detention unit' and no, we're not there yet," said the Hunter. "For now, I'd suggest making this area less hospitable. Line your perimeter with some cactus or other thorny plantings."
"I'll go to the nursery next week," I said.
"No," he corrected, "You need to start today. If Free-range kids get too comfortable in the outdoors, they sometimes lose all sense of domestication. I've heard reports of feral packs roaming around neighborhoods in the Midwest. We don't want anything like that to happen here."
"Such a lousy feeling," I said, "Always looking over my shoulder, wondering if they're watching us. How long do we have to live like this?"
"Quite awhile." He paused. "I don't believe in false optimism. This trend is still on the rise. A year ago, I was only getting one or two calls a week. Now, it's every day. But it'll work out in the end. America is strong. We survived the '70s. We can get through this."
"What about security cameras?" my wife wondered. "Pictures are the best evidence, and then we could go over to the Bizbee residence and settle this once and for all."
"Think carefully," the Hunter cautioned. "The equipment will be a major expense. Then you'll have to spend a lot of time scanning through the recordings. But if you choose to go that route and get conclusive proof, you must definitely call me back and I'll act as a facilitator."
"Why is that necessary?" I asked. "I'm not afraid of the Bizbees."
"That's your naiveté talking," he answered. "What you're suggesting may seem routine but it can have unexpected, tragic consequences."
"Can you be more specific?" I queried.
"Know this," he said, "And trust in my firsthand experience. When Free Range parents feel cornered or threatened, they may react with ferocious hostility. Their bite is extremely painful. And sometimes fatal."


It's been 3 weeks since my diet became 100% vegan, and I have learned some things. So today I thought I would share 10 things to know about going vegan, based on my recent experience. Let me know if you can relate to anything, or if you had a completely different experience, I would love to know!
1. You'll need to answer questions. Lot's of them.
I knew I would be answering questions as soon as I told people I was going vegan, but I didn't expect so many people to suddenly be so interested in my diet. I don't mind answering these questions, as long as they are kindhearted. There is a big difference between "do you find it harder to incorporate protein into your diet now?" and "don't you know you won't get enough protein if you don't eat meat???". I completely understand people's curiosity, and am happy answer any questions they have, but when people ask ill-informed questions, my patience dwindles away fast. Just keep in mind that a big diet change like going vegan will invite lot's of questions, so be prepared!
2. People will be concerned for your health.
This ties in to my first point: people will all of a sudden care a whole lot about what you eat. At first, I found this annoying, because I knew I had done my research and knew how to deal with this change in diet. But I soon realized that although I might have done my research, my friends and family hadn't, and so I couldn't really blame them for being worried. Take your time to explain this change in lifestyle to them, because at the end of they day, their concern will almost always stem from a place of love.
3. Some things are easier to give up than you think.
When I started this journey, I thought I would struggle a lot to give up meat. While I didn't eat meat on a everyday basis, I did enjoy a piece of salmon or chicken, or a beef burger, every now and then. Surprisingly, I have not once craved meat. I haven't even eaten any meat substitutes, because I don't crave the texture or taste of meat. Why this is exactly I don't know, but I am for sure not complaining.
4. Some things are much harder to give up than you think.
Well, it wasn't bound to be a super easy smooth journey the whole way through. While I haven't caved meat, I have craved cheese. Being Dutch, I know my cheese, and I used to enjoy it a whole lot. Since I came to university I hadn't eaten much of it, for health reasons, but it was definitely a treat food for me. So when I made pasta with tomato sauce the other day, I couldn't help but crave some Parmesan cheese on top. But I didn't give in, and the longer I go on without it, the less I crave it.
5. There will be temptations.
As much as you believe in the cause for you going vegan, there will always be temptations. In my case, I have eaten meat, dairy, and eggs for the last 20 years. So I think that it is only natural that when I am in a supermarket and see that Ben & Jerry's ice cream is being sold for half price, I can't help by crave it immensely. Or that when I go out for dinner with my friends, and they order cheese laden pizza's, that I am slightly disappointing with my vegetables only pizza. I think that temptations will always exist, but that they will slowly fade away. The more you get accustomed to your vegan diet, the less your previous diet will seem appealing.
6. You'll make mistakes, and that's okay.
No one is perfect, and that's normal. You will make mistakes. When I started my vegan diet, I thought it would be simple: just no meat, dairy, or eggs. But I was mistaken. There are so many animal derived ingredients that I never even knew existed, and the amount of time I spend reading labels nowadays has greatly increased. But I have made mistakes. The other day I went to Starbucks and order a soy chai tea latte. In my head, this drink was a mixture of tea and soy milk, so it was vegan. I went home and did some research on vegan Starbucks drinks (tip: do this before you actually go to Starbucks) and found out that the chai tea latte has traces of honey in it. Oops. Was I automatically no longer a vegan? Of course not. I did not intentionally consume the honey, and it was a mistake made once and never again. Mistakes are part of transitioning your diet, so don't feel so bad when you make one.
7. There is a huge vegan community online.
The first few days of my vegan diet I felt a little lost. I had no friends or family members that were vegan so I felt like I was the only vegan on the planet. I then went on Instagram and found the biggest vegan community. People posting their food, their opinion, everything to do with being vegan. I am now addicted to Instagram, but on the plus side, I no longer feel alone. It definitely keeps me going and motivated.
8. You'll start to crave fruit and vegetables.
A turning point in my journey was when I started to crave fruit and vegetables. Instead of craving a piece of cake, I was craving kiwi's. Instead of craving pizza, I was craving potatoes. I saw this as a way of my body telling me that it has made the transition successfully, and I couldn't be happier. Now I can actually feed my cravings, because they are 100% vegan and very healthy.
9. You'll start to feel amazing.
I can't put my finger on exactly what has changed, but overall, I am happier. I feel more energized, purposeful, and happy. I think that this is mainly due to my diet. I see it as my body being happy with what I am feeding it, and in return, I feel better. It's like being on a constant happy high, and I never want to lose it.
10. You'll want to share all of it.
When I started my vegan diet, I thought it would just be something personal that I wouldn't really talk about. Well, I was wrong. I have already written a few blog posts about it (sorry if there's been too many!), started a vegan Instagram account, and find myself wanting to talk to people about my diet. I make sure to never judge others on their diets, and never really talk about my diet unless asked. But the fact that I feel so amazing because I have gone vegan makes me want others to feel the same, and so all I want to do it share it.

Bill Holland
William Holland
1907 (Dec 18) – 1984 (May 19)
AAA Big Cars 1936 – 1954
At 26 a comparative late starter in racing, Holland quickly rose through the ranks and after finishing third in GSARA points in 1937, he made the bold step to compete in AAA the next year, almost immediately finding the way to victory circle at Mineola on July 30! The following year he relocated to New York to forge a strong bond with NY car owner Ralph Malamud, and for the next ten years Bill and the white Malamud sprinter became a common synonym for success. He very nearly snatched the crown off Joie Chitwood's head in 1940, and in 1941 he finally did it, but that was the year when most of the regular eastern stars were competing with the CSRA, and so the public took little notice.
Failing to attract the attention of an Indy Car owner even after his great year in 1946, Holland finally lucked in when Tony Bettenhausen decided to join the ASPAR strike for more money at Indy in 1947, with his car owner Lou Moore showing little sympathy – he invited Bill to take Tony's place! The rest, as they say, is history, and a week later he took pole position and won on his first Champ Car appearance to boot, all this while well on his way to another Sprint Car title! Somehow, though, during the summer he "lost the plot" and dropped away in the standings, ending the year 2nd, 7th and 11th in the three Big Car points chases, soundly beaten by Ted Horn and, apparently, himself.
Already was he beginning to divert his attention to his business interests, a number of skating rinks from Connecticut to Arizona (he had been a successful skater himself in his youth), and this may well have contributed to the sorry saga of his racing career. Sublimely talented, but somehow arrogantly he tried to "milk" race promoters for appearance deals, failing to show up or "phoning in" his performance on a number of occasions when his dealings went awry. Not only squandering his chances of another championship, he also slowly but surely acquired the wrath of AAA officialdom which finally cried enough in the fall of 1950, and Holland was suspended for a year, earning himself an extension when he complained through the media!
Keeping busy by buying and running the old Malamud in IMCA and CSRA events, Holland returned to AAA in 1953 and shocked everybody by qualifying second at Indy in a car he sat in for the first time that very day! In the summer, he won three more Sprint Car races, but the following year his form tailed off again and, based on previous experience, car owners in general weren't overly keen on him anyway, so that was that. In 1958, now in his fifties, Holland returned for a couple of years to run IMCA and URC sprints and even won some, but the overall verdict must be: a talent wasted…

Walker Morris' Housing specialists Karl Anders and Zoe McLean-Wells look to what is on the horizon for the buy-to-let market (BTL) and offer their advice as to how Lenders can take practical and proactive steps to weather the likely changes.
The stance taken by the Government in seeking to reduce the number of private landlords in favour of larger, institutional investors. This has been manifested by reductions in mortgage interest tax-relief and changes to the wear and tear tax allowance; the tightening of underwriting tests for BTL loans introduced by the Bank of England's Prudential Regulation Authority; and introduction of the 3% surcharge on stamp duty for second homes.
The effect of Brexit in terms of a constriction in the BTL market due to falling levels of migrant workers.
It is therefore important that Lenders and their Mortgage Administrators prepare for what is predicted will be a rising level of default on BTL loans going forward.
Such preparation would include ensuring that Lenders have appropriate internal procedures in place, as well as staff and advisers, with the requisite knowledge of options and remedies to be able to deal with these particular accounts.
Lenders have a variety of remedies to assist them in protecting and/or realising their security. The most appropriate solution will differ from case to case. One such remedy for Lenders dealing with leasehold properties is the appointment of a Fixed Charge Receiver. Appointing a Receiver enables a Lender to exercise a degree of control over a secured asset, whilst maintaining a desirable distance from the risks and responsibilities associated with that asset. It can also, if used correctly, allow a Lender to deal with the asset and release its value without incurring liability.
Typically a Lender will wish to avoid liability in respect of repairing obligations, or for licensing and regulatory requirements, where a leasehold property is tenanted. Appointing a Receiver effectively creates a protective buffer between a Lender and these risks.
In addition, appointing a Receiver can be a quick and cost effective way to enforce security. No court involvement or formal insolvency proceedings are required, and many lenders feel that this remedy attracts less stigma and negative publicity than may be linked to other options.
In normal circumstances, the Receiver will act as agent of the borrower. The mortgage deed will usually give a Receiver the power of sale, the power to take possession of the property or bring possession proceedings or to grant, vary or surrender leases or tenancies. The result is a powerful tool; the Receiver manages and realises the value of the security for the benefit of the appointing lender, with the ultimate objective being repayment of the debt.
For further detail about Fixed Charge Receivers and Receivers appointed in accordance with section 101(1) of the Law of Property Act 1925 (LPA Receivers) and their powers and capacity, please see our recent article.
Walker Morris' housing and banking specialists have been acting for Receivers and their appointing Lenders both before and after the financial crisis in 2009. We have expert knowledge of the legal and practical issues that can arise and are experienced in helping Lenders to quickly and cost-effectively protect their position, whilst avoiding liability and adhering to wider TCF  and regulatory responsibilities.
In particular, our lawyers can work in partnership with Lenders and Receivers to help prepare and implement appropriate procedures for dealing with distressed BTL accounts and to deliver practical, tailored training to educate staff about the option to appoint a Receiver.
Understanding the reasons to appoint Receivers (and lenders' powers to do so); Receivers' powers; how Lenders and Receivers should interact with each other post appointment; and the steps that Receivers take in practice to protect and realise Lenders' securities is one of the most effective steps that Lenders can take now, to prepare for the anticipated changes in the BTL market.

Following my post on the dangers of automation which focused on an experience using Virgin Trains, this second instalment features the well-known budget airline; EasyJet.
Its common practice now for holiday makers to book outbound and return flights with different operators to get the best deal. Airline operators know this, so why do their communications not reflect this?
I'd booked outbound flights to Crete in Greece with one airline and return flights 7 days later with EasyJet, for the simple reason that it was over £200 cheaper.
Now the fundamental problem with automation is making sure any communications retain relevance to the recipient by gathering as much information about them as possible in order to maximise the impact.
If a customer buys a one way ticket we can make the assumption they have either; bought an outbound/inbound flight with another operator or don't intend on returning (so probably aren't holiday makers).
I live in Manchester, and was returning home from holiday, so EasyJet telling me about the great hotel deals in Manchester was totally irrelevant to me, the prices quoted were in euros, and they would have known if I was disabled when booking.

Now here's another report of a case where city dwellers are being pressured to create a homeowners' association where none currently exists.
The location is a small neighborhood in Sheepshead Bay in Brooklyn. The roads are narrow and the homes are close together. The homes were built decades ago as vacation bungalows, and supplied with two sanitary sewer lines.
See the Google Maps satellite image of the neighborhood above.
Now the homes in the working class neighborhood are inhabited year round. They sustained significant damage in Superstorm Sandy in 2012, including irreparable damage to their sewer lines.
The complication: although the clogged sewer lines feed into public waste lines, the portion within this small enclave of homes are private lines. Homeowners are expected to pay for replacement of private sewer lines.
Clearly, this is a risk to public health, and warrants a public response.
So now the City's Build It Back program is finally willing to replace the sewer lines – but only if the property owners agree to create a homeowners association to pay for and fund future maintenance.
However, many homeowners do not like that idea.
Residents of Sheepshead Bay's courts are split whether to form a homeowners association to pay for needed repairs to their private streets. The city's Sandy-recovery program Build It Back is offering to fix up their broken sewers — which homeowners are actually responsible for maintaining — if they agree to get organized and put money away for future maintenance. But some say they've been getting along okay for years, and the association will just be another tax.
Mr. Rodriguez makes an excellent point!
After all, it was the City that approved this substandard private sewer system decades ago, never anticipating the growth of Brooklyn or considering how a handful of property owners would ever be able to afford to replace sewer lines. That's the ultimate root of the problem!
If owners cannot afford to fix the problem now, how will creating an HOA help them in the future? Chances are very high that owners would not set aside enough money to pay for a future private replacement.
And besides, why create another layer of bureaucratic governance, along with all the usual HOA baggage? Do owners want to serve as volunteer board members? Set an annual budget and pay for annual audits? Create restrictions and rules and then enforce them upon their neighbors?
Why should 60% of homeowners be able to force the other 40% to give up their private property rights and submit to the whims or tyranny of an HOA board?
And most importantly: why can't the city simply assess these property owners to cover the cost of adding the two common waste lines to the public sewer system? That way, they can pay over several years on their property tax bills.
It seems to be a simple solution. But instead the City wants to impose additional costs and burdens on homeowners.

Seems there may have been benefit and fault on both sides before Sandy came and placed an urgent spotlight on a situation that had obviously gotten out of control. Prior to Sandy, those homeowners were benefiting from being "under the the radar" for decades regarding their common sewer lines. One customer to the city even though there were actually many. And continual usage on a system that was designed for occasional as homes began being used year round. The city however, as pointed out, should have taken control when the change from temporary living to the more compact daily living occurred and required a separation of the lines or upgrade the system for health and welfare, while bringing future properties into the system appropriately. This occurs in rural areas in the south all the time as development encroaches, why not in big cities.
Wouldn't Brooklyn be the last place to expect voluntary unanimity even to merely fund ongoing operations ? Politically unpalatable or not are local improvement surcharges, Is the city looking with 18th or 19th century eyes at public safety ? More serious than resistance elsewhere to assuming sloppy private roads approved carelessly during sloppy approval process in more recent times.
The City could also assess owners an "impact fee"- payable over 10 years – for initial installation of public lines. Apparently, they are already using city sewer services, as their private (common) lines feed into the public sewer lines.
Go figure, why doesn't the city offer a special district without having an HOA? NO just another mandate that will not work. Why not just deed the streets over to the city? Besides they said it right, the City should have taken in future growth patterns and did not. Another mess up by city officials who really are to blame. Everyone thinks by having a HOA will solve the problem when in fact that is so far from the truth it just will compound more money problems. Find a better way instead of an HOA they do not work and never will. .


In the first chapter of the A-line story, Alexandra Carneiro revisits the defining moments of feminine power dressing to reinvent the wardrobe of the contemporary woman. From the French Commedia dell'Arte, to the Victorian Age and the appearance of the New Look, ending in the irreverence of the 80's – it is all reborn in our designer shirts, through bold and unconventional shapes.
The Puff Sleeve is one of our boldest designer shirts, inspired in the audacity of the contagious 80's.
Designer shirts can be simple and versatile, just like our day-to-day must have AL02 shirt.
The Padded Shoulder shirt has a unique structure and cut, inspired by the padding trend. While perfectly outlined, it has mushroom-shaped shoulders for a twist.
Safari is a shirt dress that revisits the vibrant energy of the 20's in South Africa. Although reinterpreted here, it remains a true classic in every women's wardrobe.
The Bold Loop shirt takes inspiration from women's delicacy and creates a luxurious impact with its loose loop around the neck. We have handpicked a matte white cotton to produce this piece, classic in construction and loose-fitted.
The Swallow's Wings shirt is inspired by the women's self-assertion movement. And in result, it is clearly unconventional with its high, rounded collar.
A-line is a brand of shirts, that is challenging conventions to create the perfect fit for the woman of the 21st century. When simplicity meets sophistication — the synergy results in unlikely shapes that compliment the female body.
Each piece is the ultimate reflection of what the A-line woman stands for – elegance, maturity and confidence. Designing the perfect shirt and sharing it with women everywhere was Alexandra Carneiro's drive. Especially thorough and passionate about detail, the creative director has synced her sense of taste and her 20 years' experience in the textile industry, to reinvent the essentials in a woman's wardrobe.

Susceptibility of Lymantria monacha larvae to Entomophaga maimaiga was investigated under laboratory and field conditions, using larvae of the natural host, Lymantria dispar, as positive controls. In laboratory bioassays, L. monacha and L. dispar were injected with protoplasts of two isolates of E. maimaiga and mortality was monitored for 20 days. While virtually all injected L. dispar died, with ST50s (median survival times for 50% of insects injected with the two isolates) of six - seven days, only 65.6-86.7% of the injected L. monacha died, with ST50s of 11-17 days. Both isolates produced conidia and resting spores more frequently within dead L. dispar than L. monacha. In more ecologically relevant host range assays, larvae of both species were exposed to germinating soil-borne E. maimaiga resting spores in the laboratory. More L. dispar than L. monacha larvae died after these exposures. However, while resting spores were formed within 100% of L. dispar larvae that died, significantly fewer (10%) dead L. monacha contained resting spores. When L. monacha larvae were collected during an E. maimaiga epizootic occurring in a sympatric L. dispar population, only 0.2 % of the L. monacha died and produced spores. These findings corroborate those of previous studies reporting a narrow host range for this fungal pathogen.

Q: How to write array to sheets column and add custom formula to column next to it using google apps script? Here's the problem:
Get a list of tickers from a column in a sheet (LIST OF STOCKS)
Push it, so as each ticker appears in the array 105 times
Write the resulting array to another sheet's column (TickersData)
Next to the first ticker each element brought to TickersData, add the formula.
Here's the code, where I could get up to repeating the values within an array, but can't write them to the other sheet:
function getGFTickersData() {

  var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("LIST OF STOCKS");
  var tickerRng = ss.getRange(2, 1, ss.getLastRow(), 1).getValues();
  var TDSheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("TickersData");
  var startRow = 2;
  var tickerArr = [];

  for (var b = 0; b < tickerRng.length; b++) {
    var tickerToArr = tickerRng[b];
    if (tickerRng[b] != '') {
      var repeated = [].concat(... new Array(104).fill([tickerToArr]));
      tickerArr.push(repeated);
    }
  }
  Logger.log(tickerArr.length);

  TDSheet.getRange(TDSheet.getLastRow() + 1, 1, tickerArr.length, 1).setValues(tickerArr);

  var targetRow = TDSheet.getRange("B:B").getValues();
  var maxIndex = targetRow.reduce(function (maxIndex, row, index) {
    return row[0] === "" ? maxIndex : index;
  }, 0);

  var row = TDSheet.getRange(maxIndex + 2, 2).setFormula("=query(googlefinance(" + '"' + tickerArr + '"' + ",'all shares'!A4,'all shares'!D3,'all shares'!D4,'all shares'!D5)," + '"' + "select *" + '"' + ",1)");
}

Here's an image of one ticker as an example. After 105 rows, there should be a new ticker in column A and the formula added next to it in column B:

A: I believe your goal as follows.

*

*You want to retrieve the values from "A2:A" from "LIST OF STOCKS" sheet.

*You want to put the retrieved value to "Sheet10" sheet by including 105 rows that 1st row has the formula of =query(googlefinance("###",'all shares'!A4,'all shares'!D3,'all shares'!D4,'all shares'!D5),"select *",1).

In order to achieve your goal, I would like to propose the following sample script.
Sample script:
function getGFTickersData() {
  var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("LIST OF STOCKS");
  var tickerRng = ss.getRange(2, 1, ss.getLastRow() - 1, 1).getValues();
  var TDSheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("Sheet10");
  var values = tickerRng.flatMap(([a]) => [[a, `=query(googlefinance("${a}",'all shares'!A4,'all shares'!D3,'all shares'!D4,'all shares'!D5),"select *",1)`], ...new Array(104).fill([a, ""])]);
  TDSheet.getRange(TDSheet.getLastRow() + 1, 1, values.length, 2).setValues(values);
}

Reference:

"This is really an untapped area of molecular development," adds Matson.
However, by making what Matson describes as "a simple molecular modification"— replacing the compound's methanol-derived methoxide groups with ethanol-based ethoxide ligands—the team was able to expand the potential window during which the cluster was stable, doubling the amount of electrical energy that could be stored in the battery.
Matson stressed the "crucial role" played by VanGelder, who conducted the initial testing and experiments on the clusters while Matson was on maternity leave. "As a third-year graduate student, she did an incredible job of starting this project. She's played an important role in driving this research effort in the lab," Matson says.
A University Furth Fund Award that Matson received last year enabled the lab to purchase electrochemical equipment needed for the study. Patrick Forrestal '19 of the Matson lab also contributed to the study.

Beltway Confidential
Bush: A lonely bacterium
Bush: "I want to thank you for being, you know, people willing to set high standards."
President Bush today handed out the teacher of the year award in the Rose Garden to Michael Geisen of Prineville, Oregon. Bush noted that it's his last such ceremony as president and, inevitably, shared some yuks.
"He also loves to use music in his classroom, and he has a hands- on science curriculum," Bush said of Geisen. "So, like, on the music deal, so he turns to songs to get people to pay attention. One of the greatest hits he's used is about gravity. One I like was a blues song written from the perspective of a lonely bacterium. Like, you can sing it here in the Rose Garden if you want to."
Bush added, " Yeah, probably suggest you don't, but — I tried to dance here one time, and …it didn't work."


OCIndoor is an independent percussion ensemble from Oregon. They are national champions in their division. Their co-director Mike Stevens asked me to create an identity for the group and I felt happy and honored to do so. Here is the process that was taken to come up with the final image you see to the right.
I started with the usual brainstorming / sketching. However, since I am already very familiar with the group I didn't stay in this stage very long. I had quite a few ideas swimming around so I really felt comfortable getting into Illustrator a little earlier than normal.
My first concept was based on strength and grit. These ideas describe such groups very well. The kids work very hard and dedicate much of their time / life to the activity. Also since it was the first year of the indoor group, I wanted to make sure that the logo didn't portray them as amateurs. Also, another level of imagery is shown with the letter 'I' inside 'C' to show the idea of the group being indoor.
The second concept (which was the chosen concept) focuses a lot on modern and futuristic ideals. I used gradients and shadows to give the concept depth and used clean lines for that modern look. The overall impression of the logo shows an indoor arena (floor). The letter 'C' looks like a tenor drum mallet striking a drum. Example can be seen HERE.
Concept 3 is the one that I pulled out all the abstract imagery. When you immediately look at the logo you see "OCi". This is true, but there are so many other things hidden inside the logo itself. The first idea you might see is the tip of a drumstick inside the letter "C". Another thing is the 45 degree angle going into the letter 'i' using negative space. Inside this you can envision a bass drum mallet in playing position. If you tilt your head 90 degrees to the left you might see a person (O is the head, C is the torso and arm, i is the hand). This person has good posture and is in playing position. There are probably other things inside this concept that I haven't even caught yet. If you see something, please let me know by leaving a comment.
They looked over the concepts and chose number 2 to move forward. From here they told me some of the things that they were concerned about. They thought that it might be good to have the web address included since "OCI" is fairly obscure and not everyone might know what it means. They also said that even though the figure above the 'I' looks cool, they wanted to see the Oregon Crusaders emblem there instead. So I got to work and came up with 3 revisions based on their suggestions. Revision Set 1 can be seen HERE.
We were on the right track but it didn't quite feel right and they agreed. You couldn't really read the web address on smaller variations of the logo. Also, they decided that they would like to have the full name "OCIndoor" instead of "OCI". Also, they liked the idea of the compass emblem but wanted to stick to the green color scheme and use a more accurate version of it. With those ideas, I came up with 4 more revisions. Revision Set 2 can be seen HERE.
It was almost ready, but there was still some more tweaking to be had. The next versions of the logo can be shown below.

Schools and community to observe Remembrance Day
Unity News
Sherri Solomko , Correspondent / Battlefords News-Optimist
Pat and Wanda Gumpinger, die hard Rider fans, enjoyed their own experience at B.C. Place when meeting with Saskatchewan Roughrider Manny Arcenceneaux while cheering on the Riders on the road. Photos submitted by Sherri Solomko
Warrior football ran out of season when, after going undefeated in regular season and capturing the league 2A 6 man championship, they were unable to overcome Wynyard in the provincial quarter final, thus ending the season for 10 graduating players.
This time of year you should be wearing your poppy and planning how you and your family will commemorate Remembrance Day on Nov. 11. St. Peter's School hosted their service today, Nov. 7 at 10 a.m. at the school. Unity Public School will host their service on Nov. 8 at 11 a.m. Unity Composite High School will host their school program also on Nov. 8 at 2 p.m. The community service will take place on Monday, Nov. 11 at 10:30 a.m. at St. Peter's gym.
Museum pancake brunches began Sunday, Nov. 3, and will continue each Sunday until the end of March. This is the museum's biggest fundraiser and not only do they depend on community support, they are in need of more volunteers for these events. Contact the museum or Chris Martin for more details.
Here's what is on tap in Unity for the month of November: Nov. 10 - Operation Christmas Child shoebox packing party at St. Peter's 2 p.m.; Nov 16 - Unity United Church fall supper; Nov. 20 - Unity Chamber of Commerce AGM. Although the Unity Community Resource Centre Ladies Night Out is sold out, you may contact UCRC in case there is a cancellation list to get on. It is also time to buy your tickets for the Nov. 29 KC Rescue comedy night and you can contact KC Rescue or any board member to grab tickets for this event.
I am flattered and thankful of those readers from other communities who continue to share their appreciation of this column. At a recently attended event in North Battleford, it was heart warming to discover that it's not just Unity readers who look at our news. So, thank you for passing on your kind words and know that I will continue to use your commendations to continue to bring Unity's stories, events, activities and news to this column for everyone to enjoy, regardless of where they live.
Congratulations to local insurance broker and owner of Gilbert Agencies, Scott Gilbert, who was presented with the community leadership award in the individual broker category. Gilbert was nominated for this award and was chosen from 25 nominations to receive it. Scott personifies a community champion, a dedicated volunteer, a business leader, community contributor and all around great community member. Scott had previously received Unity's Citizen of the year award in 2015.
At Unity Public School, staff and students were very excited that one of their students won the provincial pass, punt and kick competition. Brinley Headrick was invited to be on field at the Nov. 2 Saskatchewan Roughrider game to receive her provincial plaque and prize. Staff and students are putting the finishing touches on their school Remembrance Day service, being held Nov. 8, including their choir performance for the annual service as well as re-decorating their hallways to commemorate Remembrance Day recognition
At St. Peter's school, staff and students presented their annual Remembrance Day school service today. It is report card time and soon student led conferences for the first term of the school year. Advent preparations and celebrations will be upcoming soon, too. Don't forget to support St. Peter's with their terrific, and popular, soup fundraiser.
At UCHS, while junior volleyball has wrapped up for the season, senior volleyball teams have been on the road with their development of teams before district and conference competitions are upon them. Drama is in full swing for winter productions. UCHS is also prepping for student led conferences for first term. Thanks to the UCHS alumni volleyball organizers, staff, students and guests were part of a personal presentation on mental heath and mental wellness, held Nov. 1.
The Unity arena is a busy place. November will see an increase in activity as all teams in all divisions as they head full into their seasons. This includes Miner's hockey and Midget AA hockey. Nov. 8 Miners will play host vs Edam. Nov. 10 Unity AA Lazers vs Warman. Skating Club is now in season too. You can check out the Town of Unity website, the TVs in the rink lobby or posters around town that will include the latest games on tap at the rink. There is always room for fans in the stands. Did you know that the Unity Skating Club has a return event that was highly popular coming up in January? Hint, it resembles a popular television show on CBC. Stay tuned for details.
The Unity Curling Club season has begun with leagues taking place every night of the week, including junior curling on Mondays. UCC will host a Sturling bonspiel Nov. 21 and are excited to be hosting the competitive women's curling event, Viterra Provincial Women's challenge Dec. 13-15. Remember, the Unity Curling Club is supporting Saskatchewan curler Kirk Muyres, selling the "Men of Curling" calendar for only $25. Great gifts and stocking stuffers and your purchases supports 12 great causes, with Kirk supporting mental health in Canadian agriculture through the "Do More Agriculture" foundation.
Wednesdays continue to be a busy night in Unity as pickleball, which has now moved to the high school, continues from 7-9 p.m. As well, weekly Mental Wellness support group sessions continue at the Unity Health Centre, open to anyone who is in need or interested. The Lions Club "Chase the Ace" also continues each Wednesday at the Legion Hall.
Our community is blessed with the Unity Hospital Foundation Board who voluntarily meet and manage bequests and donations to their foundation and then help choose donations to our hospital for up to date equipment physicians can use to diagnose and refer where necessary. The recent donation of a portable ultrasound machine is one such donation. See the full story in the Press Herald Nov. 1 issue for all the details.
I know it's early but a heads up that Winter Wonderland event is in planning stages. It is set for Dec. 5 in downtown Unity and includes multiple activities, events, specials, sales and promos. This year's event will include a business Christmas tree decorating contest and a community snow sculpture contest, both offering great prizes. Contact Bryce Woytiuk at Unity Motor Products or Sherri Solomko at the Press Herald office to get your business, organization or group included in multiple free advertising places and spaces.

Johnny Cash, born J. R. Cash, (26 February 1932 - 12 September 2003) was a Grammy Award-winning American country singer-songwriter. Cash is widely considered to be one of the most influential American musicians of the 20th century.
Cash was known for his deep, distinctive voice, the boom-chick-a-boom or "freight train" sound of his Tennessee Three backing band, his demeanor, and his dark clothing, which earned him the nickname "The Man in Black". He traditionally started his concerts with the introduction "Hello, I'm Johnny Cash."
Much of Cash's music, especially that of his later career, echoed themes of sorrow, moral tribulation, and redemption. His signature songs include "I Walk the Line", "Folsom Prison Blues", "Ring of Fire", "That Old Wheel" (a duet with Hank Williams Jr.), "Cocaine Blues", and "Man in Black". He also recorded several humorous songs, such as "One Piece at a Time", "The One on the Right Is on the Left", "Dirty Old Egg-Sucking Dog" and "A Boy Named Sue"; rock-and-roll numbers such as "Get Rhythm"; and various railroad songs, such as "Rock Island Line" and "Orange Blossom Special".
He sold over 90 million albums in his nearly fifty-year career and came to occupy a "commanding position in music history".

Die Gutskirche Schönfeld befindet sich in Schönfeld, einem Ortsteil der Stadt Bismark im Landkreis Stendal im Norden des Bundeslandes Sachsen-Anhalt. Die ehemalige Gutskirche ist ein Bauwerk des Architekten Conrad Wilhelm Hase, dem Begründer der "Hannoverschen Architekturschule". Die neugotische Backsteinkirche wurde von 1883 bis 1885 (lt. Dehio 1882–1884) am Rande des Schönfelder Gutshofbereiches neben der mittelalterlichen Dorfkirche errichtet. Stifter der Kirche waren die damaligen Gutsbesitzer, Elisabeth und Otto von Rundstedt.

Geschichte
C. W. Hase baute die Gutskirche in Schönfeld in Anlehnung an seinen aus dem Jahr 1882 stammenden Entwurf. Während der Bauarbeiten war der Architekt Eduard Wendebourg aus Hannover als sein ständiger Vertreter vor Ort. Ein weiterer prominenter Künstler, der an der Schönfelder Gutskirche gewirkt hat, war der Maler  Hermann Schaper aus Hannover, der die Wandmalerei im Achsfeld des Chorpolygons ausführte. Die Gutskirche der Familie von Rundstedt diente seit ihrer Einweihung am 23. September 1885 91 Jahre lang als Gemeindekirche des Dorfes. Nach der Enteignung während der Bodenreform 1945 gelangte das Gebäude in den Besitz des "Volksgutes Schönfeld" und wurde schließlich 1952 der Kirchengemeinde übergeben. Da diese bereits die mittelalterliche Feldsteinkirche in unmittelbarer Nachbarschaft besaß, gab sie die Gutskirche 1976 aus finanziellen Erwägungen auf und bot sie später, bisher vergeblich, zum Kauf an. Seitdem war die Gutskirche dem Verfall preisgegeben und musste baupolizeilich gesperrt werden.

Während die Kirchengemeinde 2010 den Abriss beschloss, gründete sich im selben Jahr der Verein "Freunde der Gutskirche Schönfeld", der sich zum Ziel gesetzt hat, das Gebäude zu sanieren und dauerhaft zu erhalten. Durch einen Artikel in der Zeitschrift Monumente der Deutschen Stiftung Denkmalschutz aufmerksam geworden, stiftete die Kirchengemeinde der Christuskirche in Hannover 2012 sieben Kirchenbänke aus dem ebenfalls von Conrad Wilhelm Hase entworfenen hannoverschen Kirchbau.

Baubeschreibung
Die neugotische Backsteinsaalkirche mit kreuzförmigem Grundriss besteht aus einem breiten, 42 m hohen Westquerturm, Lang- und Querhaus sowie einem polygonalen Chor mit Fünfachtelschluss. Über dem Haupteingang befinden sich ein Mosaik mit segnendem Christus und eine Fensterrose. Die Form dieser Fensterrose wurde auf die beiden des Nord- und Südquerhausgiebels übertragen. Damit wich C. W. Hase von seinem ursprünglichen Fassadenentwurf ab, der jeweils eine Dreiergruppe von anders gestalteten Kreisrosetten an den Giebelflächen vorsah. Der Turm ist in das kreuzrippengewölbte Erdgeschoss (die Vorhalle), das zum Schiff hin geöffnete Orgelemporengeschoss und das Glockengeschoss mit Turmspitze gegliedert. Das Kirchenschiff besteht aus zwei Rechteckjochen mit Kreuzrippengewölbe.

Von der bis Ende der 1990er Jahre noch gut erhaltenen Originalausstattung, die weitgehend auch von C. W. Hase entworfen wurde, sind einige Stücke bis heute in der Kirche verblieben. Das sind Überreste des durch Vandalismus zerstörten Altars, seinerzeit geschaffen von Holzbildhauer Gustav Kuntzsch aus Wernigerode, der schmiedeeiserne Radleuchter, die Kanzel und die vollmechanische Orgel. Einige Teile des Mobiliars sind in der alten Kirche in Benutzung, andere sind verkauft, zerstört oder gestohlen worden. Kurz vor Ende des Ersten Weltkrieges wurden zwei der drei von den Brüdern der Elisabeth von Rundstedt gestifteten Glocken auf dem Kirchturm zerschlagen und abtransportiert.

Remembrance Day: Gov. Bello Promises More Support For Family Of Fallen Heroes
Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello has reaffirmed his administration's commitment to continue to support the Armed Forces, law enforcement agencies and the families of fallen heroes in the state.
The governor gave the assurance on Wednesday at the commemoration of the 2020 Armed Forces Remembrance Day celebration at the World War I and II Cenotaph, Lokoja.
The governor charged the living heroes to continue to defend the nation's sovereignty, urging the citizens to support the government in catering for the well being of the loved ones left behind by the nation's fallen heroes.
He similarly implored citizens to maintain law and order as security was a collaborative effort of different sectors of the society, while urging the media to avoid disseminating falsehood.
The governor was joined by heads of military and paramilitary in the state.

Q: Zero Threaded Process? Does a process have to have at least one thread in it? Is it possible for a process to be void of any threads, or does this not make sense?

A: A process usually has at least one thread. Wikipedia has the definition:

a thread of execution is the smallest unit of processing that can be scheduled by an operating system. The implementation of threads and processes differs from one operating system to another, but in most cases, a thread is contained inside a process.

The MSDN backs this up:

A processor executes threads, not processes, so each application has at least one process, and a process always has at least one thread of execution, known as the primary thread.

Though it does go on to say:

A process can have zero or more single-threaded apartments and zero or one multithreaded apartment.

Which implies that if both the number of single-threaded apartments and multithreaded apartments could be zero. However, the process wouldn't do much :)

A: In Unix-like operating systems, it's possible to have a zombie process, where an entry still exists in the process table even though there are no (longer) any threads.

A: You can choose not to use an explicit threading library, or an operating system that has no concept of threads (and so doesn't call it a thread), but for most modern programming all programs have at least one thread of execution (generally referred to as a main thread or UI thread or similar).  If that exits, so does the process.
Thought experiment: what would a process with zero threads of execution do?

A: In theory, I don't see why not.  But it would be impossible with the popular operating systems.
A process typically consists of a few different parts:

*

*Threads

*Memory space

*File discriptors

*Environment (root directory, current directory, etc.)

*Privileges (UID, etc.)

*Et cetera

In theory, a process could exist with no threads as an RPC server.  Other processes would make RPC calls which spawn threads in the server process, and then the threads disappear when the function returns.  I don't know of any operating systems that work this way.
On most OSs, the process exits either when the last thread exits, or when the main thread exits.

Note: This ignores the "useless" cases such as zombie processes, which have no threads but don't do anything.

A: "main" itself is thread. Its a thread that gets executed. So, every process runs on at least one thread.
