This project was centered around the promotion of a single "feature" that a national bank has to offer. KeyBank offers a service called "Key4Women" which supports the financial success of women entrepreneurs. This feature connects women through advocacy and empowerment.
For this advert I utilized the idea of the paper cut out dolls and that "business owner" doesn't have a specific look. This is shown through the poster as well as an installment that would be featured in a bathroom as well as an airport.
Each figure has the design feature of the "paper doll" aspect.
A feature of the project was that it was advertised within an airport. These could be placed in the seat sleeves for travelers to view.
This was a bathroom installation. The woman standing at the sink could "see" herself in that business owner role.


Forming part of the Law Reports collection (England) from 1900 to 1952.
Publisher: Incorporated Council of Law Reporting for England & Wales.
The King's Bench or, during the reign of a female monarch, the Queen's Bench (see Q.B.), is England and Wales' superior, senior common law court, with jurisdiction in both civil and criminal matters. K.B. or Q.B. are the reports of the salient written opinions of the justices of the King or Queen's Bench Division (see Legal Definition of King's Bench and Legal Definition of Queen's Bench).
In England and Wales, the King or Queen's Bench Division is part of the High Court of Justice. It was created by the Supreme Court of Judicature Act of 1873.
The Common Pleas and Exchequer Divisions were merged into the Queen's Bench Division, and thus, those dedicated series of the Law Reports ceased publication.
Sometimes K.B. is cited as L.R.K.B.Div. or L.R.K.B.D. and more often cited as K.B.Div. or K.B.D.
Often confused with other law reports which have had "King's Bench" in the title, such as Alberta Court of King's Bench (ABQB).
During the reign of a make monarch, the Queen's Bench Division law report ran in annual volumes with, from time to time, multi-volumes in a given year, and from 1875 to 1990, during the reign of Queen Victoria.
In 1901, it was continued as King's Bench Division during the reigns of Edward VII (1901-1910), George V (1910-1936), Edwards VIII (1936) and George VI (1936-1952). When Queen Elizabeth ascended to the throne in 1952, the title of the law report reverted to Queen's Bench Division or Q.B.

The managers of Rathbones' $2.4 billion ethical bond fund are beating their benchmark – and 95% of their peers. Here's their tips for making a success of green investing
Theo Golden
Noelle Cazalis, Rathbones' Ethical Bond Fund manager.
Steve Johnston/Rathbones
This story is available exclusively to Insider subscribers. Become an Insider and start reading now.
Rathbones Ethical Bond Fund manager, Noelle Cazalis, tells Business Insider the strategy behind her 95th percentile returns.
Companies must be considered solid investment cases before considering the ethical positives, Cazalis says, ensuring you are always investing in the best.
Social housing bonds have been a particular success in the portfolio, Cazalis says, and that looks set to continue
Green and ethical investing is rapidly becoming a hot topic – but while this might be a relatively new trend for equity investors, it has been a staple in the fixed-income universe for many years. Ethical bonds have been a golden goose for many companies and governments looking to stabilize their balance sheets throughout the coronavirus crisis.
The European Central Bank, under the supervision of its president, Christine Lagarde, has led from the front with green bond buying programs and the issuance of social bonds – known as SURE bonds. This year, even emerging-market countries such as Egypt have issued a green bond.
But for some investors this isn't a new phenomenon, it is simply the next chapter. This is certainly true for Noelle Cazalis, a fund manager of Rathbones' £1.8 billion ($2.4 billion) Ethical Bond Fund, launched in 2002, which she co-manages with veteran fixed-income investor Bryn Jones.
Alongside Jones, Cazalis has consistently beat her benchmark – the iBoxx Sterling Non-Gilts Overall Total Return Index – returning 6.43% over the last five years, versus the index's 5.56%. Her fund's returns compare to an average of 1.77% for her competitors, which places her in the 95th percentile, according to data from Bloomberg.
"We've outperformed the sector with a lower level of volatility. We are one of the funds that has – over five-years – the highest Sharpe ratio in the sector," Cazalis said.
The fund, which invests solely in ethical corporate investment-grade credit, differentiates itself with a "flipped" investment process compared to its peer, according to Cazalis.
"The ethical screening has to come at the end," she said, "because we want every investment in the fund to stack up from an investment standpoint, not just because it's nice and green and it's doing some good... I think that's key in the way we manage the fund."
This doesn't diminish the ethical quality of the fund's investments, but it does create a strong investment pitch for the team to apply its process of exclusion, eliminating bonds that don't meet Rathbones' standards.
What makes the cut?
As you would expect, the fund doesn't invest in any company that may have "exposure to animal testing, tobacco, alcohol, pornography, high-impact activity," Cazalis said, and once you have that, "you get your investment universe."
But Cazalis goes further. "We don't stop at the exclusion level at Rathbones, a company needs to have no negatives, based on our criteria, but also at least one positive. So we do that a kind of extra step and that is the positive screening," she explained.
With this process of detailed exclusion, Cazalis can invest in bonds, even if they are not labelled as green or ethical. "For us, because we have exclusion in our fund, we don't really need a company to issue a green bond," she said. "It doesn't mean because it's labeled, it can go into our fund and it doesn't mean because it's not a green bond that it doesn't have really green characteristics."
One example is the fund's investment in Greater Gabbard, where it finances the pipe of an offshore wind farm. "It's not called a green bond, because they didn't want to label it as such, but in terms of what it's trying to do… it is something that we would consider," she added.
But, for Cazalis, the fund's ethical standards make for better investments generally. Having joined Rathbones as a credit analyst, the ESG process "absolutely makes sense."
She continued: "Why wouldn't you take into account environmental risk, social risk and governance risk? They are risks at the end of the day and they can really impact your cash flow, therefore they can really impact the yield that you get on your investment and your return... the more risk you can take into account, the better."
The fund has had some particularly successful investments, according to Cazalis, who highlighted credit investments in social housing, which account for just under 7% of the fund's allocation, according to the Rathbones website.
When Cazalis first joined in 2011, Britain was in the throes of an austerity regime, meaning that grants for social housing associations were being cut. Therefore, associations "had to find new sources of finance and a lot of them turned to the bond market," she added.
These were strong single-A rated investments, with some bonds even secured on social housing stock, she said, providing strong cash flow and security. "They've been quite a big theme in the portfolio and we see more and more of this housing association coming to the market," she added.
The second winner for Cazalis has come from so-called Liability Management Exercises (LMEs), adding to the "alpha generation of the fund."
The regulation in financials, in both banks and subordinated insurance papers, has changed a lot. Therefore some of the bonds are becoming obsolete, but yet they still carry a five or a 6% coupon, Cazalis explained. "So what we've done is identified the bonds that we think will be tendered early and redeem them at a premium to market prices and invested in that," she added.
With the UK announcing on Monday that "green gilts" will be issued in 2021, the green bonds story has only just begun. They are now "very established, more standardized instruments and really every treasury department and every company should look at them as they look to raise money for new projects," Cazalis concluded, saying that the US Treasury could even issue a green bond in 2022.

Early Monday morning, March 20th (at 3:29 AM Pacific time) the sun moves into its spring position. At the Spring Equinox we have equal hours of day and night as the sun seems to pause for a moment in the sky. One can feel the quickening of life at this time as the Earth begins to radiate with the freshness of spring. Here in the high desert we've had a good winter of rain and snow and the roots of trees and plants have been well nourished. Seed pods are forming on trees,bushes are growing their first leaves,grasses are turning lush and green and the annual spring wildflowers have sprouted and are popping from the ground daily. It should be an amazing wildflower show in the desert this year!
Here in the garden, spring has sprung as well. The fragrant fruit blossoms are singing with the music of bees, the crocus and daffodils are shining with happy flower faces and a variety of pollinators are at the feeders and flowers as their new season has begun. Rudy,the Rufous hummingbird (as we so lovingly call him!) has been hitting the "sugar tap" (hummie feeder) for days now. He left the mountains of Mexico recently and is traveling all the way north to British Columbia,possibly even to Alaska! He's a hungry little bird and we're happy to provide him with a refueling station for his long journey. I'm in the process of writing a children's book about the travels of Rudy (and his pal, Trixie the woodland faerie!) hopefully released next spring. It's a really fun story for children and parents alike and I'll keep you posted on its progress.
The first Monarch and Painted Lady butterflies have been fluttering through the gardens. And the Sphinx Moths (otherwise known as" hummingbird moths") have been enjoying the yummy fruit blossoms as they hover and sip their nectar like hummingbirds! The first dragonflies of the season have been darting across the moist grass looking for tiny insects, their beautiful translucent wings remind me of the wings of faeries!!
We've been eating our winter lettuce daily and last weekend we planted our spring crop of lettuce,kale,chard,carrots and cilantro. Some of the seeds have already sprouted as the temperatures have been so warm. We saved our tomato seeds from our harvest last year and now they're growing on the windowsill along with peppers and basil. They'll be planted outside in May. Our winter season of rest in the garden is officially over!
The release for "Over The Rainbow; a gardener's guide to creating light-filled gardens" will be celebrated at "The Center for Creative Renewal" in Encinitas, California on April 7th, 2017 from 5:30 to 7:30 PM. The address is 1905 Crest Drive, Encinitas California. Come join us in the beautiful gardens;there will be plenty of healthy food to enjoy, a book signing and time to share our gardening experiences as we begin our new season in the garden! We hope to see you there!

Hillary Clinton rebrands herself as 'Rodham'
Responding to observations that the media's frequent use of her first name is sexist, Hillary Clinton is asking journalists to simply use her maiden name, Rodham.
"I will no longer tolerate being referred to as 'Hillary,' a common practice in the male-dominated media which is meant to diminish my character," Rodham said in an interview on Friday. "George W. Bush certainly never had to put up with people giving him diminutive names, and neither does President Obama."
"And for better or for worse, the last name 'Clinton' will forever remind the public of my darling husband Bill, who was a fabulous president and I love him to pieces, but I am my own person," she said
"Plus, 'Clinton' always sounded like the name of some unctuous Arkansas hick who can't keep his willy in his pants and refers to his secretaries as 'toots' and 'honeypot,'" she added. "Not like the last name 'Rodham,' which at least conveys some dignity and actually sounds like it belongs to a reverend."
Rodham, an avowed feminist, only adopted her husband's last name during his campaign for the governorship of Arkansas in the 1970s when advisors feared that her decision to keep her maiden name would draw the ire of the state's conservative voters.
"This is a definite change for us, but it's also an opportunity to rebrand our candidate as someone who isn't shackled by archaic traditions, and who can transform like a chrysalis into something new but familiar," said Nina Bartholomew, a name expert who works for the Rodham 2016 campaign. "Also, the last name 'Rodham' is a nod to the American immigrant experience, as her father was an impoverished English coal miner who in 1940 made a perilous 32-week journey to the U.S. by rowboat."

Její nový otčím byl divadelní režisér Frank Whately, vlastním jménem Geordie a irské dědictví u něj bylo ruku v ruce s láskou k tradiční lidové písni. Právě toto prostředí bylo určující, tam Martha nejprve zvládla hru na klavír a pak se sama učila finger–picking stylu ve hře na kytaru, inspirovaná zejména oblibou Joni Mitchell a Paula Simona a to jak hudebně, tak politicky, s důrazem protiválečných prvků a sociálního svědomí 60´. Martha si také dokázala uchovat některé z matčiných dárů pro malování, v nových domácnostech pravidelně navštěvovala herce a další divadelníky a tak začala driftovat směrem k herectví.
°δ° Její mimořádná rodina ji povzbuzovala a dala své hudební nadání a tady Martha používá tyto dary co nejvíce moudře a laskavě, což má za následek přitažlivé album podmanivé krásy.

°δ° Limited Autograped Edition (Available While Stocks Last).
°δ° Traditional folk songs about the sea, collected, sung and played with family & friends — Kith & Kin.
°δ° "I've always had it in mind to make a traditional album" says singer and contemporary songwriter Martha Tilston. "Singing trad songs is what I grew up with, not just from my father (Steve Tilston) and step mother (Maggie Boyle) but also on my stepfather's side of the family with its Geordie heritage" (her stepfather is Frank Whately and uncle Kevin Whately, the actor known for his iconic roles in such beloved TV series as 'Lewis' and 'Morse' as well as movies like 'The English Patient').
°δ° Among the family friends of her childhood was the legendary Bert Jansch (and Martha includes 'Black Waterside' as a nod to his influence and presence in her work). °δ° 'The Sea' is a brand new album of traditional songs about the sea and the stories of those whose lives are intertwined with and guided by contact with it. Each song has one of the above–mentioned family members, plus brother Joe Tilston and friends, singing or playing with Martha and she says: "it has been a beautiful experience. We recorded most of it in a cliff side cottage in Cornwall and enjoyed trying to capture the magic and treachery of the deep".
°δ° "I wanted to include" she continues "people in the project who have made folk music integral to my own musical journeys. Last year, at my step mum's Northern benefit gig, to raise money for her treatment for cancer, I was consumed by the beauty of the folk music being played and struck by what an important influence Maggie Boyle has been not only on me, but on so many in the folk world. She has been quietly, humbly getting on with making beautiful music whilst supporting so many other musicians, and i just thought I have to do this, and do it well if I can, but most importantly let go of any self doubt and make it happen.
"°δ° Most of the songs were worked out with my house band — The Scientists (Matt Tweed, Nick Marshall and Tim Cotterell) — then the guest singer/player would add their own magic, sometimes just small sections, sometimes the whole song as more of a duet. We went with what sounded organically best for each track.
°δ° Due to the geography of where we individually live, and because my family are busy away working, touring and teaching, we often would only have a short slot to set up recording gear and capture them. But it seems to have worked well. "Nick Marshall was integral to the whole creative process, often introducing a beautiful guitar line to what I had conceived for the song to hang on. Matt Tweed would then add his unmistakable wizardry on bouzouki, Tim Cotterell came down to the cottage in Prussia Cove, Cornwall where we recorded and he would just close his eyes whilst playing as if the song instantly took him to a different sphere. There was a bit of cross pollination to the recordings; so we have Maggie playing flute on songs on which she is not the guest singer and John Thorne (Lamb) is playing double bass on the 'Lowlands of Holland' (on which my uncle Kevin Whately sings, revisiting something he did prior to his acting success)."
°δ° The end result is music that is captivating, beautiful and as much a joy to listen to as it, undoubtedly, was to make. Traditional folk songs about the sea, collected, sung and played by Martha with family and friends; a personal and family testimony to the power of song and traditions forged by kith and kin.

Martha Tilston: The Sea review — embraces tradition with nautical ballads
°δ° Martha Tilston has carved her niche in the English folk scene with sharp, original songs that dissect the modern world. Here, she embraces tradition, with nine songs from the national hoard of nautical ballads and shanties: The Waters of Tyne, Fisher Lad of Whitby etc. Shorn of their Joni Mitchell mannerisms, Tilston's delicate vocals recall Anne Briggs (not least on Black Waterside), and an array of guests from her extended family add robustness, though the arrangements (guitar, bouzouki, flute) remain low key. It's an engrossing set that captures both the harshness and enchantment of maritime life, with the salt of sea air almost palpable.

Review by: Simon Holland, on 6 OCTOBER, 2014
°δ° Martha has to date charted her own course as a singer songwriter, gradually staking a claim to a successful career in the folk world, but has said that she always had it in mind to make a traditional album. She finally picked up the direction the drive and the courage to immerse herself into the world of folksong, following a benefit concert for her stepmother Maggie Boyle, and has turned to family and friends, gathering all of the people who have helped to make the music such an important part of her life. What a talented bunch they are and the resulting album, The Sea, is beautifully crafted album, packed with wonderful singing and playing some great nautically themed song choices and a few surprises into the bargain. The album was mostly recorded in a cliff–side cottage in Prussia Cove in Cornwall with the slat spray in the air, and it sounds absolutely fabulous.
°δ° If Martha Tilston was always going to make music, given her father and step mother are both significant members of the folk world, she did so in her own sweet time and when she eventually started, on her own terms as well. Even as a babe in arms, Martha was a regular at the folk club in Bristol, run by her parents, Steve Tilston, whose own music career had already begun, and her mother Naomi. Regular house guests included the likes of Bert Jansch, Ralph McTell and John Renbourn, just family friends, who would sit in kitchen trading songs and stories.
°δ° When her parents divorced Martha moved with her mother to Surrey. Her new stepfather was theatre director Frank Whately whose own Geordie and Irish heritage gave him a love of traditional folksong. It was in this environment that Martha first mastered the piano and then taught herself finger style guitar, inspired in particular by the likes of Joni Mitchell and Paul Simon, both musically and politically, picking up on the anti–war elements and social conscience of the 60's singer songwriters. Martha also proved to have some of her Mother's gift for painting, but as the new household was regularly visited by actors and other theatre professionals, so she started to drift towards acting.
°δ° In Bristol meanwhile Steve and Maggie Boyle were together, and Martha refers to her filling that house with songs. As a youngster Maggie had joined a branch Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann in Fulham, an organisation dedicated to promoting Irish traditional folk song and dance, Martha was in turn introduced to the richness of this culture. The album notes credit Maggie as the single most important inspiration for Martha's own singing, with the moving dedication, "Thank you, it's because of you that I sing at all."
°δ° None the less when Martha did start she didn't follow her stepmother and Father into the world of traditional folk singing or the folk club circuit. Instead Martha became attracted to the alternative festival scene, through lifestyle choices and her keenly developing social conscience. She became part of the travelling troupe that were known as the Small World Solar Stage, before forming a duo with Nick Marshall called Mouse. The pair released a couple of albums following the turn of the millennium and toured extensively, without gaining much success, until eventually financial pressures took their toll.
°δ° Martha started releasing her own albums thereafter and even set up her own label as the means to do so. First there was a lo-fi CD called Rolling and then the somewhat fuller Bimbling, funded by selling her paintings. With Ropeswing the following year Martha had added a band, although it was Of Milkmaids And Architects, that she really started to cross back into more mainstream music circles, even picking up a Folk Award nomination, and building a solid reputation on the live circuit.
°δ° The Sea will be her fourth full album since that release in 2007, along with a compilation EP, suggesting that any move into the mainstream has resulted from, or at very least come with a creative surge at the same time. Mostly of course, except for the odd traditional dabble here and there, it's been all her own material and in the course of creating that Martha has attracted a number of fine musicians to her cause. Several of whom are on hand here. After going under the name The Woods around that Ropeswing album, the latest incarnation is The Scientists and the bouzouki of Matt Tweed, the guitar of Nick Marshall, Tim Cotterell's violin created the foundation of the songs here.
°δ° More importantly, however, this is an album about family and the people that Martha refers to as making folk music an integral part of her life. Naturally enough that includes her father Steve and stepmother Maggie Boyle. To some degree it was a benefit concert for Maggie, to raise money for medical treatment that gave Martha the courage and inspiration to delve into the folksong tradition. Although she may have always felt she was going to at some point, there's a sense that Martha had to do it right, bringing with it an undercurrent of pressure, with Steve and especially Maggie, setting high standards for her to aim at. It's easy to say from listening to the finished work that she needn't have worried, however, as the record sounds fabulous and with the theme linking the songs, there are some interesting narrative choices, adding another level of enjoyment.
°δ° The opener, Lovely On The Water is instantly entrancing and Martha's voice, light and airy, almost ethereal with its gentle tremolo is an immediate hook. She's joined on the track by Maggie in a gorgeous duet, with her stepmother's sweet yet fuller less decorous delivery creating a perfect compliment. The sleeve notes tell of the lyrics being written on a piece of paper that kept surfacing, almost nagging to be recorded and also setting this project in motion. The arrangement is beautiful with interlaced guitars, bouzouki and fiddle given ebb and flow by Martha's partner Robin Tyndal–Biscoe's inventive, rolling percussion. Maggie also adds a flute that hits right at the heart of this sad tale of lovers parted by war and the duty to set sail.
°δ° The Lowlands Of Holland takes another aspect of the same theme, with a young man forced to leave his lover, never to return as he falls in combat. It is also introduces the Whately branch of the family, with Martha's uncle Kevin Whately, the actor proving that he's a surprisingly capable singer. It's another exquisitely sad lament and Kevin displays an unexpected tenderness, as Martha's voice tremors with the full anguish of a woman left to mourn. Again there is a haunting flute added by Maggie.
°δ° The next song breaks from the tradition and is Martha's own Shipwreckers, Which incorporates part of a Kipling poem in its choruses. It's a co–write with her friend Matt Kelly and features the cello and voice of Beth Perry. The subject of wreckers is controversial and the idea that people would deliberately lure ships onto the rocks has largely been debunked, but there are strong stories from Cornwall, where Martha lives and salvage from wrecks and smuggling were certainly rife. Martha has simply let her imagination free with idea and the arrangement is equally adventurous.
°δ° Joe Tilston, Martha's brother, is on hand for Shallow Brown, a slave's lament turned into a shanty and adapted from a version by Johnny Lamb (Thirty Pounds of Bone), who learnt it from Mary Hampton. This version was recorded in an old fishing warehouse in Falmouth, where Troubadour studios is to be found, and swells with the salt sea and salt tears. Following on, Martha's former Mouse partner Nick Marshall courageously takes on Blackwater Side and does a very good job of it too, with a little almost minimalist piano from Martha, who gives a notable credit to Anne Briggs for the last verse, whilst perhaps channelling some of her spirit into this lovely, lithe version.
°δ° Martha's two father figures also feature with Steve Tilston joining her for The Fisher Lad Of Whitby (listen below) and Frank Whately revisiting his Geordie roots with The Waters Of Tyne. The first is handled with considerable restraint, although again the arrangement sparkles with banjo added by Tim Cotterell. Frank, although not a professional singer also handles his duet well and Martha's notes recall him singing some fairly lengthy ballads when she was a child, although this is short and very sweetly done.
°δ° In between those two comes The House Carpenter and features her friend from the festival circuit, Nathan Ball, who proves an excellent guitarist with a smoky edge to his voice, as the tragic tale of love and honour unfolds. But perhaps saving thes best for last,is another of Martha's own song, The Mermaid Of Zennor, which features the voice of her friend of Cornish stock, Steve James, along with flute from Maggie and Bath's cello adding to the house band. It takes Martha's childhood memories of ythe Landscape around Zennor Hill and Penwith and submerges us beneath the waves with a tale of enchantment and magic. But we're not quite done as there is a surprise reprise of Whitby, with sister Sophie rounding off the family connections in style.
°δ° The Sea is a powerful statement of the journey that Martha has been on and is brilliantly conceived from start to finish. Martha is strong enough to lead her significant guests through a set of salt tear tales, laced with the swelling tides of emotion, the human tragedies and the magic that unfolds. Her band The Scientists have excelled in helping to realise these songs and Martha herself has never sounded better, the playing and singing throughout is simply sublime. Her extraordinary family have encouraged her and bestowed their musical gifts and here, Martha uses those gifts most wisely and graciously, resulting in a beguiling record of captivating beauty.

Artist Biography by Colin Irwin
°δ° Her dad, Steve Tilston, is one of Britain's most enduring folk singers and songwriters, and her stepmother, Maggie Boyle, is a magnificent Irish singer, so it shouldn't have come as too much of a surprise to find Martha Tilston emerging in the 2000s as such a highly distinctive and individual songwriter. As a kid she remembers folk legends like Bert Jansch, Ralph McTell, and John Renbourn playing in the kitchen, but — mostly raised in Surrey by her mother — Martha went out of her way to pursue an alternative path that deliberately avoided trading on her father's reputation. Initially she went to drama school and, like her mother, was also a talented painter (her paintings subsequently adorned the sleeves of her albums). But she couldn't help herself writing songs, and when the call of music became too hard to resist she stayed away from the conventional folk music circuit to concentrate on the underground "alternative" festival scene, where she gained a strong social conscience. An attempt by an early manager to convert her into a stereotypical rock chick was doomed to failure and convinced the then teenaged but already headstrong Martha that if this was the mainstream music business, then she didn't want a part of it. With guitarist Nick Marshall, she formed a duo called Mouse which built a strong reputation on the live circuit until the rigors of constantly touring all over Britain and Europe without making any money took their toll and they split. In 2002, she was invited to support Damien Rice on an Irish tour, and on support tours with the likes of Roddy Frame and Nick Harper followed as she again found she had a natural empathy with audiences that made her a popular attraction at festivals. Her political convictions and the slightly anti–establishment flavor of her songs gave her much credence on the underground scene, and her regular venues included festival campfires, gigs in the woods, and house concerts. Various odd descriptions from acid–folk to twisted folk were used to describe her, though she always said that, apart from her father, her biggest influence was Joni Mitchell. In 2003 she issued — mostly by word of mouth — a lo–fi album called Rolling — but she was living in Brighton by the time she released her first official album, Bimbling, in 2005. Financed by selling her paintings and released on her own Squiggly label, it was an intimate album full of charm and otherworldly imagery plus one traditional song, "Sprig of Thyme." After eight years on the alternative circuit she finally broke cover for her 2006 album Of Milkmaids & Architects (the title refers to songs depicting the lives of her grandparents), hiring a manager and a press agent, and at last found herself playing to the audiences who adored her father's work. The combination of her seductive voice and thoughtful songs won her a nomination for best new act at the 2007 BBC Folk Awards, but her embracing of the conventional folk fraternity hardly represented a sell–out and she remained true to her principles of conservation, ecology and fair trade, and total independence. One song, "Artificial," describing her experiences working in an office in Surbiton, particularly hit a chord with audiences at her gigs, at which she was now augmented by a band the Woods of variable numbers and instrumentation, including percussionist Robin Tyndale–Biscoe, whom she married in 2007. Her final embrace of her father Steve's world came when the pair united for a successful joint tour in 2007.

Biografia
È figlio primogenito di Ludovico Melzi e di Caterina Litta. Suo figlio Lodovico è noto come vicario di provvisione.

Si laurea in ambe le leggi all'Università di Pavia con diploma 28 dicembre 1577; dottore Giureconsulto al 28 febbraio 1578.

Conte palatino con decreto dell'imperatore Rodolfo II del 20 agosto 1579, ratificato dal Senato milanese l'11 agosto 1583. Vicario Generale dello Stato di Milano nel 1582 e Vicario di Provvisione nel 1586, incaricato di fornire Milano di vettovaglie. Podestà della città di Alessandria per il biennio 1586-87 con identiche mansioni.

Incaricato con illustri gentiluomini milanesi il 14 dicembre 1590 di una solenne ambasciata a Roma a portare al nuovo papa Gregorio XIV Sfondrati  le congratulazioni dei concittadini. Consultore della Santa Inquisizione dal 9 settembre 1600 con patente di portare o far portare da tre suoi famigliari ogni e qualunque sorta di armi offensive e difensive.

Il 2 gennaio 1606 il governatore di Milano don Pedro Enríquez d'Azevedo y Toledo, conte di Fuentes de Valdepero, lo elegge Luogotenente regio e Vicario di Provvisione per l'anno successivo. Lo stesso Governatore lo propone per senatore nel Senato milanese, carica ratificata poi il 9 marzo 1615 dal re di Spagna Filippo III.

Ottiene il feudo onorifico di Magenta con diploma del 30 dicembre 1619, vi prende possesso come feudatario e podestà il 2 marzo 1621.

Sposa nel 1583 Isabella Brivio ed ha tredici figli. Muore di colica il 16 luglio 1629.

Il processo per stregoneria a Caterina Medici di Broni, Milano 1616 - 1617
Si tratta di un evento famoso per l'importanza dei personaggi intervenuti: gli esponenti della famiglia Melzi in anni di grande ostentazione sociale e poi i più eminenti medici e studiosi del momento, Lodovico Settala, Giacomo Antonio Clerici, Giovanni Battista Selvatico, fisici collegiati. È singolare anche che gli atti giudiziari siano sfuggiti alle epurazioni illuministiche.

Processo intentato il 26 dicembre 1616 da Lodovico Melzi e le sorelle monache Margherita e Faustina contro la domestica di famiglia, Caterina Medici accusata di maleficio a carico del padre senatore Luigi sofferente di disturbi gastrici. La Medici, dopo un iter complesso viene dichiarata colpevole di stregoneria il 31 gennaio 1617; torturata strangolata e messa al rogo il 4 marzo dello stesso anno.

Quanto riportato qui sopra non è la realtà. Il motivo di tutta questa cattiveria nei confronti di Caterina Medici è che il senatore Luigi Melzi si era invaghito di lei. Considerata la grande distanza sociale tra i due, l'uomo si lasciò convincere dai figli che la donna lo avesse sedotto con le "arti magiche".

La vicenda, cui fa accenno Pietro Verri nella Storia di Milano  quale esempio dei costumi del tempo, venne citata per tangenza anche da Alessandro Manzoni. Achille Mauri, nel suo romanzo storico del 1831, ne volle accentuare i risvolti romantici e pietistici. Nel Novecento, Leonardo Sciascia, che legge gli atti, lo interpreta come un dramma del Verismo di fine Ottocento. La pubblicazione degli atti nel 2011 a cura di Farinelli-Paccagnini ha riportato in luce la complessità dell'evento nel contesto religioso, morale e scientifico che caratterizza la Lombardia del XVII secolo dominato dall'albagia spagnolesca.

The city will hit you with a $350 ticket for horn honking — but the mob really makes you pay.
In a scene right out of "GoodFellas," mafioso Edward "Tall Guy" Garofalo Jr. allegedly turned a truck driver's face into a bloody pulp when he dared honk his horn while the Colombo associate was chatting with a family capo.
With a build that's a cross between an NFL linebacker and a commercial-grade refrigerator — and a fuse as short as Joe Pesci's in the classic mob movie — Garofalo dislikes anything that can be interpreted as disrespect.
Brooklyn federal prosecutors say that Garofalo and Colombo captain Theodore "Teddy" Persico Jr. — at whose upcoming racketeering trial the feds want to tell the tale of mob violence and intimidation — were standing at a Mafia-run trucking firm back in 2004, where they were chatting with a driver who was sitting in his cab.
That's when a second driver drove up to the Spencer Avenue facility on Staten Island and began "repeatedly honking his horn," Assistant US Attorney Nicole Argentieri recently wrote a judge.
Garofalo believed that the trucker was honking at him, and so he told Persico that he "would handle the situation" personally, the feds say.
So the mobster pulled the driver from the cab, and hit him hard in the face, the feds say.
The trucker collapsed to the ground, where he lay unconscious, prosecutors say. But Garofalo kept pummeling the trucker's face with his fist, turning it into a bloody mess, the feds say.
Garofalo and Persico slipped quietly away as an ambulance arrived.
It was one of the wiseguy moments that Garofalo later boasted about, unaware that his acquaintance was secretly taping the conversation, the feds say.
"I f--kin' knocked out one of [the] drivers one day," Garofalo bragged.
A supervisor at the trucking firm now tells drivers there to take heed of Garofalo and not to disagree with him, according to a transcript of the conversation.
"You know what he does, any time he sees me yell at somebody outside?" Garofalo asked.
"He goes, 'Eddie, Eddie. No argue,' " Garofalo said, repeating the advice the trucking firm's employee tells drivers.
The men can be heard laughing on the tape.
After the beating, the victim contacted police to report the assault, the feds say.
Prosecutors say that Garofalo and Persico later paid a visit to the trucker's boss in an effort to ensure that the employer would prevent the man from testifying.
"Garofalo and Persico advised [a colleague] that, as planned, the employer had communicated a threat to the victim to ensure that he would not press charges," prosecutors wrote the judge.
Now the feds want a government cooperator to take the witness stand and recount the beating and witness-intimidation incident at Persico's mob trial next month.

Can you raise a gender-neutral child? Meet the parents who do
Number of parents interested in exploring different approaches is growing
Sat, Aug 11, 2018, 06:15
Jennifer O'Connell
Utah-based Kyl and Brent Myers have not revealed their child's biological sex or assigned a gender identity. They are sharing the experience of bringing up Zoomer on Instagram.
Finian Murphy has noticed a funny thing when he take the bus with his two-year-old. When the toddler is sitting quietly, people will admire his "lovely little girl" or say "isn't she so cute?" If his child is "creating a ruckus", Murphy says, people will smile and say "boys will be boys".
Murphy, a strategic planner with Core Media, and his partner Siobhan, who works with Social Entrepreneurs Ireland, are trying to raise their child free of gendered ideas about how they should play, look and behave. But society frequently has other ideas.
If Tom is wearing a bright pink top and somebody says 'isn't she cute', I don't correct the gender
"It's the everyday things that people do that they don't consider. It's the expectations around toys kids like, or clothes they should wear. Nine times out of ten, people have good intent, but they also like certainty," says Murphy.
Raising their child in a gender-neutral environment "wasn't something we'd planned from the beginning". They both work outside the home, share childcare equally, and believe in gender equality, so it just became the way they parented, he says.
Unlike a small, but growing, number of gender-affirming or gender-creative families raising "theybies" in the US, they haven't made a decision to conceal their child's biological sex from the outside world, and they don't insist on the pronouns "they" and "them". But they do try not to let the fact that Tom is biologically a boy define him.
"He is a boy and we wouldn't go out of our way to hide it. From a practical point of view, if you're going to go down that route, you end up refusing to answer questions like, 'are they a boy or girl', which is often the first question people ask. In conversation, too, pronouns are key and we don't have a gender neutral pronoun like the Swedish 'hen'. So, practically, it's very difficult to raise a child like that. You end up explaining yourself 100 times a day."
Projecting ideology
And there does come a point, he says, where as a parent, you have to ask "are you projecting your ideology on a kid or not? You have to figure out where the line is."
In his case, "if Tom is wearing a bright pink top and somebody says 'isn't she cute', I don't correct the gender."
Interest in gender neutral or gender creative parenting – often known by its acronym GCP – has grown in recent years, spurred on by celebrities like Pink and the Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau, whose son wore a dress at Hallowe'en, and Angelina Jolie, whose daughter Shiloh usually opts to dress in a similar style to her brothers.
The lying game: uncovering the truth about liars
Parents are being 'eradicated from the lives of their children for no good reason'
Parental leave: Why is the uptake so low?
More seriously, there is a better understanding of the issues facing transgender and gender-nonconforming people, says chartered psychologist Aisling Leonard-Curtin, who is co-editor of Mindfulness and Acceptance for Gender and Sexual Minorities.
Seventy-eight per cent of trans people have thought about ending their lives and 40 per cent have attempted suicide, according to the Trans Mental Health and Well-being Survey, which was conducted in Ireland and the UK between June and August 2012.
Then there's the growing awareness of the limitations that concepts about gender can impose on people, starting in babyhood. Leonard-Curtin cites studies which have shown that "qualities such as courage and strength are highlighted more when people believe the baby is a boy, whereas beauty and gentleness are highlighted more when people believe the baby is a girl".
As a result, "babies, children and people are socialised to interact differently based on their sex assigned at birth".
Few parents take their desire to avoid gender stereotyping as seriously as Utah-based Kyl and Brent Myers, for whom raising a theyby means not revealing their child's biological sex or assigning them a gender identity until the child is ready, at around the age of three or four.
They are sharing on Instagram and a blog (raisingzoomer.com) the experience of bringing up their two-year-old, Zoomer. On social media, they patiently and politely field questions from the curious on how to decide what to do with their child's hair ("We are letting Z's hair grow until they tell us what they'd like to do with their hair") and how to navigate princess games in a gender-neutral household ("We choose gender-neutral words instead, like police officer & monarch/royalty.")
"A part of why we are parenting this way is because intersex people exist and transgender people exist, and queer people exist, and sex and gender occur on a spectrum yet our culture loves to think people, all seven billion of them, can and should be categorized as one of two options," writes Kyl on her blog as part of a Q&A with NY Mag.
Gender creative parenting is not about denying biology or anatomy, Myers says. She accepts that there are biological differences between the sexes, but believes gender is a "social construction." She says "the primary reason that we wanted to parent this way was because we wanted to re-write the script for how our child grew up to think about gender".
Few Irish parents go this far. But the number interested in exploring ways to parent other than simply following the sometimes very rigid gender norms imposed on children is growing, says psychotherapist Joanna Fortune. "I get enquiries from both parents whose children don't identify as their biological sex, and from those who are considering raising their kids gender neutral. Ultimately, parents usually just want to do what's best for their children, and this is part of that. In 10 years' time, it's possible we won't even remember a time when there was so much debate about it," she says.
Creative route
For parents who chose to go the gender creative route, it's easier from a practical point of view when you're staying at home full time, or when they're in their own home with an individual childminder. "In that case, I think you could do this very successfully at least until school and at that stage your child has the language and narrative to decide themselves who they are."
Stereotypes exist only to label people and put them in a box
But doing so would call for tolerance, patience and understanding on all sides. "This is quite a new phenomenon and you are going to get questions and frustrations, and you do have to be prepared for that. Inform yourself, try and link in with other parenting groups who support your choice. Be tolerant and share information. Just because you've got it nailed, it doesn't mean everyone else is on the same page."
Ana Giachino is trying to raise her 15-month-old daughter, Clara, in what might be described as a "gently" gender neutral environment, encouraging her to play with traditionally "masculine" toys, and dressing her in both blue overalls from the boys' section and pink dresses.
She made the decision after she read an article about how women may be missing out on certain careers "because they were taught since birth to play with dolls and kitchens, and how to cook, and take care of their baby dolls, while men were more prone to work in a technology field and engineering because they were brought up playing with Lego".
She wants Clara to grow up understanding that "stereotypes exist only to label people and put them in a box. And humanity is not that; we are a diverse bunch and we should embrace that."
Murphy says that, since he became a father, he has noticed a growing acceptance of gender as more complex than a simple question of either/or. "I was playing cars with Tom recently and my own Dad said, 'you never know, that driver could be non-binary'. He was being playful, but that wouldn't have happened 10 years ago."

Huddersfield City's captain Mark Hudson has chosen to retire from playing and to take up the position as a coach of David Wagner's instructing staff.
The 35 year-old focus back, who is contemplating for his UEFA An instructing permit, will turn out to be a piece of head mentor David Wagner's specialized staff on a full-time premise.
The change was arranged as a component of the new three-year contract Hudson marked in April 2016.
German supervisor Wagner stated that i'm upbeat that Mark is ending up some part of my private cabin staff. From my first day in England, Mark has been one of the greatest positives.
Hudson started his vocation as a student at Fulham, where he softened into the senior setup up 1999. He at that point moved to Crystal Palace before spells with Charlton and Cardiff City, marking for the Terriers in 2014.

La Resolucion Alternativa de Conflictos sigue siendo mas economica que el litigio?Is ADR still a less expensive alternative to litigation?
The Editor interviews The Hon. William A. Dreier , Member, Norris, McLaughlin & Marcus, P.A. (Presiding Judge, New Jersey Superior Court, Appellate Division, Retired) and Ryan Hamilton , President, Resolute Systems, LLC.
Editor: Is ADR still a less expensive alternative to litigation?
Dreier: In short: "Yes" for both mediation and arbitration.
Mediation avoids most discovery, and the expensive, intense and emotional wait for and cost of trial. Results are negotiated, not imposed by a judge or jury or subject to costly appeals. You can obtain innovative results beyond the money judgments that are the hallmark of litigation.
Some cases still require an outside decision. By using arbitration, you can choose the arbitrator without the "luck of the draw" of the local courthouse, limit abusive discovery, and schedule convenient hearings in a private setting. And unless the parties both agree otherwise, there are no appeals.
There are two inexpensive elements to effective ADR: First, engage a well-trained and experienced neutral. Second, commit to the ADR process and realize that a reasonable settlement, without exposure to an imposed judgment or award, is worthwhile. Of all disputes, 97 percent settle prior to trial, but usually after most of the costs of litigation. If this fails, a qualified arbitrator can still bring faster and cheaper closure. In these days of tight money and the need to conserve resources, the ADR route makes business sense.
Hamilton: ADR should be viewed in two contexts - mediation and arbitration. Mediation is still an attractive option in terms of time and cost savings. Because mediation allows the parties to negotiate a settlement, often times with minimal formal discovery and without having to present a case, it is significantly less expensive than gearing for trial. Simple arbitration is also an attractive option, particularly in bodily injury cases where the arbitrator can review medical records, IME's, etc. without having to bring in live expert witnesses. Where the cost of the arbitration is becoming comparable to litigation is in the commercial arena, in which parties often approach arbitration just as they would a bench trial and engage in the same discovery and preparation processes as they would in court. In this scenario, the advantage to arbitration may not be so much on the cost savings, as it is in narrowing of risk and retaining the ability to present their case to a neutral expert in the nature of the dispute before her or him.
Editor: Do particular areas of potential disputes lend themselves better to ADR?
Dreier: There is really no area where people of good will cannot reach an accommodation. The most difficult disputes are (1) those where payment comes from an individual's own pocket; (2) professional breakups, which are so emotional that they take great finesse to resolve; (3) matters where decisions must be made by absent parties who do not participate in the process. But none of these problems are insurmountable. On the other hand, business matters, in which the parties understand the realities of the marketplace, are often easier to mediate, as are matters in which parties are familiar with the process. They usually reach a point of a reasonable demand and offer, after a minimum of posturing. It is more the attitude of the parties than the type of dispute that is the decisive factor. In my many years of conducting commercial mediations I have helped parties to over 95 percent settlements.
Hamilton: ADR is ideally suited to resolve contract disputes. While the complexities and language could make a jury's eyes glaze over, an effective mediator can help the parties focus on common interests and work out a solution that is acceptable to all sides. If the parties elect to put an arbitration clause into their contract, disputes involving hard figures, be they dollars, sales commissions, formulas, product units, etc., are easier to define in arbitration than issues such as "time devoted," interpretation issues, non-compete issues, and so on.

On All Saints' Day, Fort Worth church tolls bell in memory of 230K Americans lost to COVID-19
The American death toll has passed 230,000, and the virus has taken more than 18,000 Texans, the second highest total in the country.

FORT WORTH, Texas — In a year that just won't slow down, few have had even a second to stop. Sunday, though, St. Stephen Presbyterian Church in Fort Worth set aside an hour.
Reverend Fritz Ritsch planned for the church's bells to ring for an hour on All Saints' Day in memory of the lives COVID-19 has claimed.
"This should affect our souls," Ritsch said. "We can't minister to one another in the usual ways, we can still do it through an event like this."
Wendy Larmour was one of around 30 who came to sit just outside the church to pause, pray, and reflect.
"The fact that we can't have a worship service and that we've lost so many people - I couldn't miss this. I was so grateful that they decided to have this," she said. "Those bells represent so many losses and so much grief."
The American death toll has passed 230,000, and the virus has taken more than 18,000 Texans, the second-highest total in the country.
"Remember them and say goodbye and know that they're at peace," Larmour said.
For Adelaide Leavens, the bells provided a moment to mourn together.
"I think it's a beautiful tribute to those who we've lost," Leavens said. "It's a touching and meaningful way to recognize that in a very lonely time."
In 2020, families have lost neighbors, friends and loved ones. The shoulders we cry on, the arms we grieve in, have had to keep their distance.
"I think it's something that we all need to be very careful about and it's really overtaken a lot of life," Matt Loynachan said. "I think it drives home the solemn nature of what is going on."
The tolling ended with five minutes of constant ringing, which Ritsch says symbolizes hope.
"Ceremonies are the way that communities can mourn and also hope," Ritsch said.
It's for hope that those lost will be seen again and hope that next year, there won't be so many goodbyes.


During my past two visits to Tucson at the end of November and December, I checked out several of downtown Tucson's historic barrios (neighborhoods). I have been visiting Tucson for over 20 years and it was my first time to venture into Tucson's historic past. Currently there are 34 National Register Historic Districts in Tucson and 6 more that are pending. I soon discovered that each barrio was unique and had its own flavor. The architecture also was quite diverse with some homes dating back to the 1860s when Tucson began as the city it is today.
Screen Shot of Downtown Tucson's Barrios from The Downtown Tucson Partnership.
After checking out El Presidio barrio, the oldest neighborhood in Tucson, we walked southwest to Barrio Hollywood, an equally fascinating place. The barrio was settled around 1920 by mostly Mexican families and today the neighborhood is filled with vibrant, colorful buildings and family-owned restaurants.
Here are some of my favorite homes and buildings I saw. I loved the brightly hued colors of the doors, windows and stucco. It reminded me so much of homes I'd seen while traveling in Guatemala and Honduras. While some were renovated and fully repaired, other homes were in disarray and needed some repair. Again, I enjoyed the crumbling colors of paint on some of the buildings. If I closed my eyes, I could imagine what it looked like when it was built.
Tucked away discretely behind the tall buildings of Downtown Tucson lies the oldest barrio of all: El Presidio. This neighborhood is where Tucson all began as a modern-day city. Although Tucson was established thousands of years ago by the Hohokam Indian (c. 700-900 A.D.), in the 1700's Tucson was taken over by Spanish missionaries and soldiers establishing Tucson as an important Spanish colonial outpost.
Entrance to El Presidio Museum and site.
In 1775, Captain Hugo O'Conor who was of Irish descent but working for the Spanish army, selected a piece of land to the east side of the Santa Cruz River to build a presidio, or fortress. The Presidio San Agustín del Tucson was built over the next eight years with adobe walls which enclosed an area to protect people inside the fort from Apache attacks. Inside the presidio were homes, barracks and stables as well as a cemetery and several plazas. (Source: City of Tucson historical files).
El Presidio remained intact until 1856 when the Americans entered Tucson and it was no longer needed. Soon after, it was dismounted and the last standing wall was torn down in 1918. Parts of the original walls of the presidio have been uncovered during various archeological digs and today a small museum remains on the site of the original presidio. "The Old Pueblo," as the adobe-walled Tucson Presidio became known, became one of Tucson's beloved nicknames for the city.
Surrounding the original grounds of El Presidio lies Tucson's first barrio (neighborhood) to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places. El Presidio is where Tucson began and many of the structures date from the 1860s on after the Presidio was torn down. Homes, shops and stores line El Presidio barrio today and most remain as they were originally built in architectural styles common of that time period ranging from Spanish-Mexican, Anglo-American to Eclectic.
Walking down the streets of El Presidio reminded me of being on a street somewhere in Central America. Buildings were colored in bright hues of pinks, reds, greens and creams, and were all in various stages of disrepair which added to the charm and picturesque nature of this part of town.
A must visit in the El Presidio barrio is The Tucson Museum of Art followed by lunch or dinner at the delightful, bohemian Café á la C'Art. Recently named on Food and Wine's list of the best museum restaurants in the country, we randomly stumbled upon this gorgeous Southwestern eatery all by chance, and what an amazing treasure of a restaurant it is!
Step inside the restaurant and you are bound to be surprised….
Yet I enjoyed the beautiful back terrace for enjoying our delicious lunch. I loved my grilled portabella mushroom sandwich with goat cheese.
Just a few steps behind the restaurant is the entrance to the Tucson Museum of Art. After a fulfilling, savory lunch it was time to walk it off and tour El Presidio barrio. Once again, I was thrilled to see so many lovely murals and many noteworthy historical homes and mansions set from another era in time.
Exploring this historic barrio is fascinating as many of Tucson's oldest homes dating from 1860 to 1920 remain. The architecture of the homes are exceptionally interesting given they were constructed in the styles prevalent of the times including Sonoran, Transformed Sonoran, Transitional Territorial, Mission Revival and Craftsman Bungalow (Source: The Tucson Historic Neighborhood Guide). The homes are a sharp contrast from the typical Tucson home made either of stucco or adobe style which makes a visit to El Presidio barrio all the more fun.
El Presidio Historic District is roughly bounded by W. 6th St., W. Alameda St., N. Stone Ave. and Granada Ave. in downtown Tucson, Arizona. The Tucson Museum of Art, 140 N Main Ave., offers tours of the historic block in the district on which the museum is located. Call 520-624-2333 or visit the museum's website for further information.
Café á la C'Art, 140 N. Main Ave., is open from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily. Dinner is served from 5 to 9 p.m. Thursdays through Saturdays.
I have been visiting Tucson, Arizona for over 20 years and have always adored her gorgeous desert landscape, rugged mountains, and lovely southwestern charm. It is no wonder that Tucson is a mecca for outdoor enthusiasts who come to play golf, bike, hike, and explore nature. The sun shines down across the city for over 350 days a year making Tucson a gorgeous place to visit especially in the heart of a Minnesota winter.
For years I've been enjoying Tucson's many hiking trails, restaurants and shopping areas surrounding the luxurious Foothills part of town yet during a recent visit I decided it was time to branch out and explore. A local art store provided my inspiration. There I saw a painting of one of Tucson's many barrios (neighborhoods) and realized that there was an entire part of Tucson that I had never seen before and it looked fascinating.
On a beautiful Saturday morning instead of putting on my hiking shoes, I grabbed my camera, a map and launched off in pursuit of my curiosity and wanderlust. I headed down the valley to the heart of Tucson's past, to the old, historic Downtown Tucson and her neighboring barrios (neighborhoods) which in recent years have been undergoing a major regentrification and rebirth of their own right. A few hours exploring and I was convinced that during my next trip to Tucson I'm headed back to the barrios.
I found some remaining pictures from my recent visit to the Sonoran desert of Arizona. Every night, the sunsets are magical and unique. It is my most favorite time of day and so insanely peaceful that all my worries seem to fade away with each brilliant ray of light and color splashed across the sky.

New Yorkers like Mayor Bloomberg's proposed $400 property-tax rebate – but they would have been even happier if he nixed the sales tax on clothing under $110, a new poll yesterday found.
Given a choice, 55 percent of city residents would have chosen to eliminate the 8.65 percent sales tax on clothing and footwear under $110, compared with 14 percent who would have taken the rebate, according to the poll by Quinnipiac University.
Twenty-three percent wanted a cut in real-estate taxes.
Even though it wouldn't have been their first choice, 66 percent still thought the mayor's $400 rebate is a good idea.
"This poll was conducted during one of those tax-free shopping weeks, so maybe voters were a little more focused on that sales tax," said Maurice Carroll, director of the Quinnipiac Polling Institute.
"When they had the choice, New Yorkers remembered that they buy clothes and they don't like paying taxes on them," Carroll added.
Bloomberg yesterday continued to push state lawmakers and Gov. Pataki to allow the tax to expire this June, as scheduled. Pataki is instead proposing four tax-free weeks in which the clothing exception would be under $500.
The mayor's language yesterday wasn't as strong as when he testified in Albany last month and used Pataki's own catchphrase – calling it a "job-killing tax" – to bash the clothing tax.
Bloomberg touted his property-tax rebate, saying that New Yorkers who "stepped up to the plate" and paid higher taxes while the city was in dire straits now deserve to be rewarded.
* Police Commissioner Ray Kelly continues to be the most popular prominent official, earning a 65 percent approval rating.
