The force of Oliver Bierhoff: Germany legend, Serie A icon and fighter of stereotypes
08/10/2019 by James Sweeney
And with that, it was over. Just five minutes into the allotted 30 of extra time and Euro 96 had reached its dramatic conclusion: Germany were champions and the 73,000 at Wembley had just witnessed the competition's first-ever golden goal.
The jubilant scenes of the German fans and players were contrasted not only by the Czechs – their opponents whose fans shed tears in the stands – but also the many English attendees, still sobered by the reality that football was not coming home, and now faced with the prospect of watching their oldest rivals celebrate in their own back yard. Just 25 minutes earlier, the image couldn't have looked more different, Germany trailing 1-0 with 15 minutes of normal time remaining.
The hero of the night was Oliver Bierhoff. Rescuing his country with a trademark bullet of a header, the Udinese striker then achieved legend status when his deflected strike was insufficiently parried away by Petr Kouba, landing in the bottom left corner of the Czech goal. Though Germany's storied history of improbable fightbacks gave the result a sense of inevitability, few at the start of the tournament would have backed Bierhoff – a controversial inclusion who earned his first international cap a mere four months prior – to be the man who provided the heroics on that summers night in London.
While now Bierhoff enjoys statesmen like-status in his homeland, a revered symbol of efficiency and leadership who saved his country on various occasions, such notions would have seemed fanciful or even outright laughable earlier in his career, when the young forward was hounded out of the Bundesliga on a wave of derision and ridicule.
Born in the south-western city of Karlsruhe in 1968, Bierhoff's privileged upbringing was worlds apart from the rags to riches narrative associated with many of the game's iconic figures. With his father Rolf the CEO of a large German energy firm, the youngster was afforded a first-class education and abundant opportunities to pursue any career path of his choosing.
Looking back, it would have been easy for Bierhoff's comfortable lifestyle to rob him of the bloody-minded drive required to make it as a top-level footballer. These potential pitfalls weren't lost on Bierhoff senior, and the businessman went to great lengths to instil in his son the dogged work ethic that would become notorious as his career progressed.
A classic example of his father's meticulous approach occurred early in Bierhoff's youth career. Observing his son as he returned home from training, Rolf was alarmed by the fact that the young striker's kit always seemed to be spotless. Worried that the immaculate jersey represented a lack application, the eccentric executive took matters into his own hands, pouring water over a patch of grass in the yard and forcing his son to practice diving headers on the turf after ice had formed. Unfortunately, the image of Bierhoff as an ice diving workhorse wasn't one that initially washed with the German public who, in the main, scorned him as the rich kid with the stainless shirt.

Having spent most of his youth career at Schwarz-Weiß Essen, Bierhoff completed his apprenticeship at Bayer Uerdingen, before making his professional debut in 1986 aged 17. The club – now known as KFC Uerdingen – were in the midst of their golden age, with a third-place Bundesliga finish in 1985/86 following a historic DFB-Pokal Cup Final victory over Bayern Munich the previous season. The success of the previous campaign granted Bierhoff the opportunity to ply his trade in European competition as well as mixing it with the cream of domestic football.
Standing at six foot three inches, the fledgeling forward was blessed with an imposing physique and a level of strength far beyond the reaches of a normal academy graduate. These traits, coupled with his immense aerial ability and developing hold up play, marked Bierhoff out as a potential focal point for Uerdingen's direct style of play – and the young striker would hit the ground running in a dream debut.
Making his professional bow in the DFB-Pokal, Bierhoff faced a Stuttgart side powered by the force of Jürgen Klinsmann, entering the game as a second-half substitute with his side trailing 3-0. In what was effectively a no-lose situation, the rookie forward put in a headline-grabbing performance, scoring two goals as Uerdingen fought back to win a crazy tie 6-4.
Any hopes that Bierhoff would be able to fly under the radar and hone his craft away from the glare of the media spotlight were killed by that brace against Stuttgart. The following day, many in the German press were comparing him to a young Horst Hrubesch – fellow target-man and Germany's hero in the Euro 1980 final – with others going as far touting him as a future strike partner for Klinsmann with die Mannschaft.
In truth, Bierhoff was not even 100 percent sure he wanted a football career at all, let alone to lead the line for his country. Reminiscing on the hype surrounding his debut, he said: " I tried not to focus on it. Even though I was a youth national player, at the time I did not have the conviction to start a great professional career, I just wanted to try it."
It soon became apparent that the teenage target-man wasn't yet ready for the scrutiny of the Bundesliga. Although a promising debut season brought nine goals in all competitions, alongside international caps at under-18 and under-21 level, the following year would derail Bierhoff's momentum and mark the beginning of a nomadic five-year journey that would leave him contemplating his future in the game.
An injury-affected second campaign saw Bierhoff net just once in 12 league appearances and the frustrated forward transferred to Hamburg the following season. Initially, the move seemed to have reignited his stalling career, but a poor start to his second year resulted in Bierhoff being sold to Borussia Mönchengladbach midway through the campaign. Sadly, the transfer did little to breathe life into a doomed charge which ended without Bierhoff having scored a single goal for either of his clubs.

By this point, the early fanfare surrounding Bierhoff had been consigned to the dustbin. Although his athleticism and aerial ability couldn't be denied, there were questions as to whether the striker had the aggression or the dedication to make the most of these traits, with others bemoaning his perceived lack of skill with the ball at his feet. Reflecting on this era, Bierhoff said: "Maybe I was not yet ready, but it is also true that I never found a coach willing to give me confidence, to work on me."
There is no doubt that the negative sentiment surrounding Bierhoff – who later claimed he was "jeered out of the Bundesliga" – was amplified by his less than humble roots. With young forward still only 21, one would have expected there to be a sense of perspective when evaluating his performances, but instead Bierhoff faced contemptuous crowds, many of whom scornfully questioned whether he would've been granted an opportunity in the game at all were it not for his father's influence.
With his self-belief shattered, Bierhoff gave serious consideration to the notion of quitting football altogether and returning to his studies. Although he would earn an economics degree later in life, for now the striker would resist the urge to return to academia in favour of resurrecting his floundering career in Austria.
Signing with Austria Salzburg at the beginning of the 1990/'91 season proved an inspired move, with Bierhoff thriving away from the media glare of his home country. In his first truly prolific season, the German showed genuine flashes of the great goalscorer he would later become, netting 23 times as his side finished fifth. Although he was now plying his trade in the city of Mozart, his style was less symphonic beauty and more blood and guts efficiency, roughhousing defences before finishing from close range.
Having rediscovered both his confidence and his scoring touch with die Mozartstädter, Bierhoff once again set his sights on proving himself in one of Europe's top leagues. When Inter came with a bid of £400,000 it looked as though he would finally have the opportunity to prove himself at the highest level of club football. Sadly, the move proved to be a false dawn and the German's first year in Italy would provide a character test of such magnitude it made his time in the Bundesliga look like a period of halcyon bliss.
Soon after signing for the Nerazzurri, it became apparent that Bierhoff didn't feature in coach Corrado Orico's immediate plans and the striker was shipped to newly-promoted Ascoli for the 1991/'92 season. The campaign was a disaster with the club immediately relegated back to Serie B, Bierhoff managing just two goals for the entire season.
By the end of the campaign, Ascoli fans had assigned the misfiring marksman to the role of scapegoat, with the antipathy reaching its apex when he was labelled a coward for missing fixtures due to injury. With his career at rock bottom, a shaken Bierhoff sought counsel from teammates Paolo Benetti and Luca Marcato, who inspired him to persevere.

Nevertheless, the Ascoli fans seemed determined to oust the striker from their club with Bierhoff recalling: "When I arrived at the training camp the fans whistled me from the first to the last minute, I really thought it was over. At that moment the closeness of the comrades, of Marcato and Benetti in particular, was important."
While the prospect of Bierhoff ever being mentioned amongst Europe's elite strikers looked about as likely as Tony Pulis training his players in the art of Joga Bonito, the trajectory of his career was about to change. Serie A, perhaps more than any other, has a penchant for Cinderella Men and the striker would finally start reaping the rewards his persistence deserved.
Although the next three seasons were spent in Serie B, Bierhoff's transformation from scapegoat to saviour with Ascoli fans was rapid, with the German's goals proving instrumental in propping up their underperforming side. While his impressive tally of 38 strikes across two seasons kept Il Picchio in the promotion hunt, the striker was powerless to prevent Ascoli from succumbing to relegation to Serie C1 in 1995. This time, however, the sentiment couldn't have been more different, with relegation deemed to have happened in spite of Bierhoff's performances rather than because of them.
Bierhoff's contribution to the troubled team caught the attention of Udinese manager Alberto Zaccheroni. With the club heading in the opposite direction to Ascoli following promotion to Serie A, Zaccheroni signed the German in a £1m deal. Few would have predicted the transformative impact the young coach would have on the striker's career.
Clearly a confidence player, the lowest points in Bierhoff's career had always coincided with times he felt either undervalued by a coach or unloved by the fans. In Zaccheroni, the striker had a manager with an unshakable belief in his ability, and he would quickly repay the Italian's faith with the best performances of his career to date.
Immediately it was clear that Bierhoff was a different player to the awkward forward who'd last graced Serie A, with the German's improved positional sense complimenting his athleticism to create a clinical number nine. His impressive tally of 17 league goals included a famous close-range winner against Marcello Lippi's iconic Juventus – and it wouldn't be long before his country came calling.
With Euro 96 approaching, Germany manager Berti Vogts was still unsure of his preferred strike-partner for Klinsmann, and so the former World Cup-winning defender called up Bierhoff for a series of pre-tournament friendlies. A brace against Demark in his second appearance did his quest for a place on the flight to England no harm at all and, after much deliberation, Votgs would include Bierhoff in his 23-man squad.

After coming on as a late substitute in Germany's opening game victory over the Czech Republic, the 27-year-old would get his chance to lead the line in the following fixture against Russia. Despite Germany's comfortable 3-0 win, Bierhoff failed to impress and many thought the fixture would be the last time he featured in the tournament, with Klinsmann, Stefan Kuntz and Freddie Bobic all seemingly ahead of him in the pecking order.
Bierhoff watched from the sidelines for the next three games as a functional side, elevated by the cultured defending of libero Matthias Sammer and the power of Klinsmann, hustled their way to the tournament final. In a rematch of their opening fixture, Germany were pitted against the Czech's, with Bierhoff once again waiting in the shadows as his country – downed by a second-half Patrik Berger penalty – looked set for heartbreak.
With Germany running out of ideas, Vogts turned to Bierhoff to replace Mehmet Scholl in the 69th minute. Nothing in football has the capacity to make or break a legacy quite like the final of a major international tournament, and within half an hour, Oliver Bierhoff's transformation from unheralded squad player to national icon would be complete.
The equaliser came within four minutes of his introduction, Christian Ziege's free-kick finding Bierhoff whose powerful downward header bounced off the turf and past Kouba in the Czech goal. With momentum firmly in Germany's favour, it felt like fate that the unheralded sub would complete the turnaround, and he duly obliged with the tie deciding goal five minutes into extra time. The moment couldn't have been sweeter for Bierhoff who was wrestled the ground by his teammates as he celebrated in front of the German fans. The man who'd been almost ridiculed into early retirement was now the king.
While his goals at Wembley were undoubtedly the highlight of his career, Bierhoff's unusual trajectory meant that Euro 96 was just the start of his peak, with his best years for both club and country occurring directly after the competition. Determined not to be a one-tournament-wonder, Bierhoff made the most of his public mandate, becoming a vital player in what proved to be leaner years for his country.
One of his greatest moments with the national team came during a World Cup 98 qualification match at Windsor Park. With Germany trailing 1-0 to Northern Ireland, Bierhoff and midfielder Thomas Hassler came off the bench to spare their nation's blushes. The changes proved to be a masterstroke as Bierhoff bulldozed his way to an improbable six-minute hat-trick, with all goals having been assisted by Hassler. He would go on to score 37 international goals in 70 appearances, representing Germany at two World Cups and becoming captain following Klinsmann's retirement – not bad for a player who'd failed to earn a single cap by the age of 27.
In Serie A, Udinese went from strength to strength as Zaccheroni's expansive 3-4-3 system allowed Bierhoff to front a devastating attacking triumvirate consisting of himself, Paolo Poggi and Márcio Amoroso. The trio complemented each other perfectly, with the pace, creativity and all-round brilliance of Amoroso accentuated by the industry of Poggi and the predatory threat of Bierhoff. The trio would lead the line for Il Friulani for the next two seasons, embarrassing some of the sports finest defenders and scoring 80 goals between them as Udinese followed a fifth-place finish with a Champions League-qualifying third.

By 1997/98, Bierhoff was a world-class target man, a brutish juggernaut reminiscent of the type of forward England used to produce so well. You know the kind: tough, with exquisite positional sense and an atomic bomb of a header, usually capped off with an unfathomably glamourous first name like Alan, Les or Jim. Despite lacking the technical sophistication of certain calcio forwards, it would be no exaggeration to say that Bierhoff was now the world's best striker in the air, and his 27 Serie A goals would see him beat the likes of Ronaldo, Inzaghi and Del Piero to that season's Capocannoniere.
The heroics of the previous campaign suggested that both Zaccheroni and Bierhoff had outgrown the Stadio Friuli, and when the coach was offered the chance to manage AC Milan, he duly signed the German marksman in an £11m deal. Seven years after the non-start with Inter, Bierhoff would take to the San Siro in the red and black of their biggest rivals. Despite his success on the peninsula, many Milan fans were sceptical of signing Bierhoff – a player who's no-nonsense style was worlds apart from the elegant flair of Marco van Basten – but it wouldn't be long before they were chanting his name.
After two disastrous seasons, little was expected of Milan in terms of silverware, and the task laid out to Zaccheroni by Rossoneri supremo Silvio Berlusconi was to secure Champions League qualification for the club. At this point in their careers, however, Zaccheroni and Bierhoff were masters in the art or overachieving, and the German's 19 league goals – including an astonishing 15 headers – were instrumental in keeping Milan in the title race.
In the penultimate game of the season, Bierhoff scored a hat-trick against Empoli which saw Milan leapfrog Lazio into top spot. In perhaps the greatest moment of his club career, Bierhoff's final-day header against Perugia sealed the game and the Scudetto, cementing the striker's place as a Rossoneri legend.
Although Bierhoff would spend two more years in Milan, his debut season would prove to the peak of his time at the San Siro as the emergence of Andriy Shevchenko, coupled with the Germans advancing years, saw his influence slowly begin to wane. A year in France with Monaco would follow before Bierhoff returned to Serie A, calling time on his career after one solitary season with Chievo.
His last game would be against Juventus – and the Old Lady were given a final reminder of the forward's predatory brilliance. In what was supposed to be a victory lap for the recently crowned champions, the retiring legend did everything in his power to spoil the Bianconeri party. Like an ageing rock-star playing the hits for a final time, Bierhoff provided a masterclass in attacking efficiency, rolling back the years with a hat-trick of vintage close-range classics. Although Juventus would eventually win 4-3, the moment belonged to Bierhoff, who provided a fitting finale to his wonderful career.
Despite his privileged upbringing, the story of Bierhoff is one of triumph over adversity. With his career in a perilous position, he turned around an impossible situation to become a hero to his people and a legend in Serie A. Lacking the flair of forbearers such as Gerd Müller or Rudi Voller, Bierhoff's intelligence and mental fortitude allowed him to overcome his limitations and his efficient, industrious style can be seen in many of his successors, from Miroslav Klose to Mario Gómez.
While the game may be littered with strikers more gifted or more glamorous, there are precious few who can claim they were as prolific, as persistent or as loved as Oliver Bierhoff.

This week we look at a useful medical calculator app that runs as an app or from the website – MDCalc.
Packed full of useful clinical calculators like Wells score, FeverPain, CURB-65 (interestingly created by a Nottingham UK doctor) and a host of others with easily over 100.
Each calculator comes with details on why you should use them, useful information and pitfalls, links to the evidence of the calculator and outcome information.
This is a detailed and useful app that does not need a data connection to run, so useful in hospitals or GP practices where data signals dare not go.
The only thing lacking is certain calculators like FRAX score for assessing bone health and 6-CIT score for assessing cognition, however similar scores are available.


Though urbanists generally explain the greening impulse as an "escape" from the city—a reaction against slums, density, or lack of green space in the classical industrial metropolis—I am currently completing a book manuscript that shows how and why this practice unfolded in Germany's Ruhr region in the absence of precisely these conditions. Instead, I argue, a new social imaginary of nature as a vehicle for social goods, which I call urbanized nature, turned green into a planning tool, such that it has been used to help "fix" the Ruhr's urbanism by creating ideal cities and citizens ever since. Using historical, visual, and ethnographic methods, I document surprising continuities in nature's use as a medium for improving the social. As moments of major political and economic restructuring (around 1900, 1960, and 2000) precipitated regional identity crises, elites recurrently turned to nature to realize changing urban ideals; each time, the goal of these efforts was to turn a working class urban region into a legibly middle class city. As the recent "discovery" of the green or sustainable city is celebrated as a revolution in urbanism or dismissed as an instrumental policy trend, the book offers a standpoint for critical reflection on urban greening by historicizing it as a social practice, showing how it affects the transformation of the built environment, and excavating its normative dimensions.
I am currently engaged in several projects related to urban sustainability planning. David Wachsmuth (McGill University) and I have been documenting the rise of urban sustainability as a new policy commonsense, as well as the consequences of the idea that "cities can save the planet:" the preponderance of city solutions to the global problem of climate change. With Gianpaolo Baiocchi (New York University), I am engaged in a study of the morality of urban planners themselves, looking specifically how they reconcile the profession's normative aspirations with the highly constrained environments in which they work, especially in the context of contemporary urban planning's charge to "save the planet." And with funding from the American Sociological Association's Fund for the Advancement of the Discipline and support from UCSC, I am carrying out an analysis of ~300 California cities' Climate Action Plans, focusing in particular on the plans' treatment of social equity, an increasingly important metric in climate and sustainability planning.
With Eric Klinenberg (New York University) and Alix Rule (Columbia University), I am working on an interview-based research project that aims to provide a general sociological description of climate change as a public moral issue today. Though sociological treatments have tended toward the diagnostic, implicitly or explicitly addressing the pressing question of what is to be done, we wish to take a step back and characterize the social organization of this moral concern. Our research asks: Do people mean the same thing when they call for "action on climate change"? If not, in what ways are these differences in meaning handled or managed? What is the role of belief about climate change beliefs in shaping the understanding of appropriate response? How are climate change beliefs shaped by the situations in which the issue arises in contemporary social and political life? We hypothesize that (1) though the belief that climate change is a divisive ("polarized") issue is widespread, organizational "theories of change" with respect to climate change are more various than we might expect them to be, and that (2) this belief directs individual practice in professional and personal settings. In other words, the belief that climate change is a polarized issue makes meaningful individual action on climate change possible, especially in the absence of clear lines of collective action on this issue.
I have also studied nature in cities at an interactional level through two ethnographic projects focused on the politics of killing birds. A book chapter on urban chicken keeping grew out of my professional experience with New York City's Parks Department. Changes in urban populations become visible in changing public space uses, and new, unauthorized practices—such as backyard chicken coops, Santeria sacrifice, and urban agriculture—become sites where hegemonic expectations for the use of urban public space are negotiated. My research focused on the politics surrounding chicken slaughter showed how existing, dominant norms and cultural values have been upheld rather than challenged in the management of even radically-new-seeming uses of public space in New York City.
I provide an ethnographic and historical account of the origins of such different understandings of nature in an article published in Theory and Society. Drawing on a year of fieldwork and interviews at the American Museum of Natural History in New York, I show how a contemporary conflict between birdwatchers and ornithologists over scientific "collecting" (killing birds for scientific research) is a product of historically divergent experience. While a century ago both hobbyists and scientific researchers had to kill birds to see them, binoculars, guide books, and automobiles have all made it possible for bird watchers to access birds at ever-greater distances, while skinning birds and preparing specimens has remained part of professionals' scientific training. The textures of these two different contemporary experiences have literally produced two very different loves of birds; my subjects' insistence that one must have a bird "in hand" to understand it highlights the degree to which the two are incommensurable.
My research is driven by two theoretical and methodological assumptions that I have explored beyond the study of nature. First, that the materiality of the "natures" in question matter: the physical properties of gardens and animals facilitate particular development decisions and patterns of social interaction and understanding. Second, my research operates with a definition of urbanization as a mode of socio-spatial transformation that patterns experience and geography and which exceeds the boundaries of the city.
I began exploring the path dependency of the qualities of materials in an article published in City in 2011 and have continued to do so through collaborative research funded by Germany's Einstein Foundation. In a co-authored article and book project on infrastructure as a mediator of social relationships, Craig Calhoun and I show how infrastructural systems make today's major forms of social organization (bureaucracy, city, state, nation, and global economy) possible. As part of this project, I co-organized a special feature on what a methodological focus on individuals' encounters with infrastructure can reveal about patterns of social transformation: how people make inferences about larger scale and longer term processes of change from these interactions, and how researchers can aggregate these perceptions to see the social consequences of changing political and economic systems. We are currently at work on a book manuscript on this topic.
I co-authored an article on "methodological cityism" that addresses urbanists' propensity for using the city as the privileged spatial unit of analysis for studying processes that extend beyond it, and published a paper in Urban Studies that examines the historical forms of which this epistemology is an artifact. Using John Berger's metaphor of "ways of seeing," I argue that a hegemonic 'city lens,' ground in the context of the late nineteenth century European metropolis, continues to dominate urban social analysis. I show how this way of seeing underpins analytical categories far more than we might think, and the interpretive problems it creates when turned on contemporary urban environments. More recently, Kian Goh (UCLA) and I are at work on a methodological paper that engages with "planetary urbanization" regarding issues of difference and abstraction, arguing that the two are not incompatible, as many critics assume.


First an admission. I love physical theatre. It's what I try to see each year at Edinburgh. But I hadn't heard of Theatre Ad Infinitum. Clearly most of the audience in the packed Lowry studio had, and there was a real expectation before this production.
Technically brilliant, with innovative and perfectly choreographed movement, 'Light' takes us on a 'Metropolis' style journey into a futuristic dystopian world where the ability to transfer thoughts has become a means of controlling the population.
This production bridges the gap between pure 'physical theatre' and 'theatre'. Unlike traditional physical theatre, the story is outlined on an LED display, making it more accessible. The style is fast paced, up to date and immersive. Once you get used to the cartoon style cuts from one scene to the next, the pace feels perfect. It's a wonderful, bold production that shows how amazing theatre can be.
How long until we see more aspects of physical theatre in mainstream theatre?

It used to be that decks were simply a place you could escape to during a party to catch a breath of fresh air, or perhaps where you might do your grilling. But decks today have come a long way. You can turn your deck into an alfresco family spaceor casual dining room. Screened-in decks can keep insects at bay and ceiling fans can circulate air to keep everyone comfortable.

Pressläktare är en anvisad plats för journalister och massmedier där de på plats kan övervaka händelserna vid ett specifikt arrangemang. För att få vistas på en pressläktare brukar det vara krav på att man har fått pressackreditering till det aktuella arrangemanget, detta för att området är till bara för media.

Inom sport
På större arenor och andra platser för sport finns oftast pressläktare. I vissa sammanhang, speciellt i de högre divisioner i populära sporter är det krav på pressläktare med viss standard. Pressläktare är vanligtvis högt belägna och centralt placerade så att man ska ha en bra överblick över evenemanget därifrån. De innehåller det som media kan behöva, ytor att skriva på, plats att placera en laptop, uttag för ström och internettillgång. För fotbollsallsvenskan har Svenska Fotbollförbundet tagit fram arenakrav som ska gälla från 2014 där det finns tydliga krav på vad som gäller för pressläktare. Dessa krav, bland annat 50 platser för journalister kan kännas orimliga på vissa platser i landet. Kraven kommer leda till ökade kostnader för klubbarna vilket har lett till en del debatt.

Inom sport är det på pressläktaren kutym att bjuda på lättare förtäring eller fika.

Riksdagen
I riksdagshuset i Stockholm finns en pressläktare. Den har 50 platser och ligger på plan 7 med ingång från husets pressfoajé. Riksdagshuset i Helsingfors har en pressläktare belägen på tredje våningen.

The Benedict House and Shop is a historic property at 57 Rockwell Road in Ridgefield, Connecticut.  Built in 1740, the connected house and shop are among the oldest surviving buildings in the community.  The shop is a particularly rare example of a cobbler's workshop of the 19th century.  They are further notable for the sympathetic restoration they underwent at the hands of architect Cass Gilbert.  The property was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 4, 1998.

Description and history
The Benedict House and Shop stand southeast of Ridgefield's town center, on a sloping lot overlooking Rockwell Road to the south.  The house is a -story timber-frame structure, with a gabled roof and off-center chimney.  The first floor of the facade is sheltered by a hip-roofed porch with square posts, with small (apparently original) fixed six-pane windows between the porch roof and main roof cornice.  Attached to the left side of the house is the workshop, a single-story timber structure with gabled roof, which is set on a high foundation due to the steeply sloping terrain.  The interior of the house is a modified center chimney plan, owing to the addition of the third bay during Cass Gilbert's restoration.

The house was built in 1740 for a member of the Benedict family, who were among the first colonial settlers of the town..  It is significant as a rare surviving example of a colonial artisan's workshop.  Although the early residents of the house (all Benedicts) were apparently engaged in a variety of rural agricultural and business pursuits, several generations in the 19th century were cobblers.  The property is one of four in Ridgefield that Cass Gilbert restored (the Keeler Tavern in the town center is another).

Kara Brown has spent more than a decade building a marketing skill set specific for the B2B software market. She has worked for startups and large firms, and her expertise ranges from PR to enterprise data management.
In 2006, Brown was one of the first employees of Echo Global Logistics. A one-woman marketing department, she managed all brand, image, and marketing initiatives for the company. In 2009, Brown worked with sales and IT leadership to develop and launch www.myfreight.com, Echo's self-serve LTL website. She was also responsible for driving traffic to this new revenue stream.
In late 2008, CEO of Echo, Doug Waggoner, asked Brown to take on the role of Investor Relations. She had no prior exposure to the securities market but rose to the occasion. On October 9, 2009, Echo held a successful IPO and Brown was the company's first Director of Investor Relations, at 26.
Brown was recruited by SEKO Worldwide as director of global marketing. In a short 9 months she was able to execute a corporate website and email re-brand. From there Brown made was recruited by OHL (Ozburn-Hessey Logistics), at the time a $2B Nashville based global supply chain provider with clients like Apple, Starbucks, Samsung, Sony, and Remington.
PE firm Welsh Carson was preparing the company for an IPO exit and Brown was to lead IR when the time came. Instead of an IPO, the company underwent a Federal TSA investigation and possible whistle-blowing by the CBS evening news. By the spring of 2011, Brown had weathered a major communications crisis with almost no market exposure. The company was not unscathed and Welsh Carson replaced most senior staff. In 2015, OHL was bought by GEODIS, as the smaller, legacy contract logistics company.
In 2012, Brown set up a consulting practice, SmithBrown Marketing. She is essentially the outsourced CMO for six transportation and transportation technology companies. Her clients depend on her for all things marketing including lead sourcing, scoring, marketing automation, CRM implementation and management, tradeshow execution, collateral development, PR, website development and management, search engine optimization, and social media engagement. She uses her skill set, expertise in logistics and relationships to execute well-designed marketing strategies for her clients, usually on a very limited budget.
In 2015, Brown took the risk on a trash startup in Atlanta, Rubicon Global. Her former colleague and friend was leading the sales team and asked her to come be his counterpart and build the marketing team from scratch. Brown built a five person marketing team from scratch, delivered an entirely new revenue stream with more than $100k in revenue, and built a new website with a 400% improved conversion rate.
Brown is now back to consulting in Atlanta after falling in love with the weather. She currently lives in Morningside with her husband and two daughters. She is an Ironman athlete and is wrapped up her MBA from Dominican University in the Spring, 2017.


A totally cool brown plaid coat from the 70s. This one is a real vintage beauty that survived in a great condition. Made in the USA. It's fully and thickly lined & closes with buttons. Has three pockets at front. Labelled size: 42.


Or you can cook until it is tender, which would take anywhere from 40 to 50 minutes. Once soft, drain and let it cool. Then slip off the skin, the stalks and the root end.... If you have just recently purchased beet or beetroot at your grocery store or farmer's market, they can keep for up to 2 to 3 weeks if stored properly.
When you buy beets from the grocery store or farmer's market, they usually come in a bunch of 3-5 beets with the stems and leaves attached. If the leaves are bruised and brown or yellow in spots, they are not ideal for eating. If they are nice and green and healthy-looking, they are ideal to cook and eat, no matter their size.... Beetroot is simple to cook, and can be boiled, roasted, or microwaved. Once cooked, the skin can be easily rubbed way while wearing a pair of kitchen gloves. It's recommended to wear gloves while peeling beetroot - that red stain can be as stubborn as a two-year-old in a toy store!
Storing fresh beets: If you purchase beets with the greens attached, try and cut the greens from the beets as soon as you get home, leaving 1 to 2 inches of stem attached. You can leave the beets on the counter at room temperature (if it's cool) for a few days, if not using them right away, or store … how to draw a cathedral step by step You can't cook what you have harvested at one time, especially if you have planted and taken care of your beetroot plants well. There would always be a surplus.
You can't cook what you have harvested at one time, especially if you have planted and taken care of your beetroot plants well. There would always be a surplus.
To store beets, trim the leaves 2 inches from the root as soon as you get them home. The leaves will sap the moisture from the beet root. Do not trim the tail. Store the leaves in a separate plastic bag and use within two days. The root bulbs should also be bagged and can be stored in the refrigerator crisper drawer 7 to 10 days.

Social Networks for Recipes and Cooking
By Michael Kwan Professional Technology Writer
People say that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, but women love to eat too. The Internet has made it easier than ever to connect with amateur chefs and share fantastic recipes through the growing number and variety of social networks available. Whether you're looking for a new dish to try or you want to share your experiences with your fellow cooking enthusiasts, there's a social network for you.
What's Cooking Online?
Engage with your fellow culinary enthusiasts from all around the world with these cooking, recipe and food-oriented social networks.
Women's Social Networking

Bakespace.com
Despite what its name may lead you to believe, BakeSpace isn't just about baking. It is a grassroots cooking website with over 50,000 member-submitted recipes, including thousands of baking recipes.
While you do not need to register with the site to browse through the library of recipes, you will need to have your own account if you would like to publish your own recipes, build and market your own digital cookbook, or participate in the kitchen mentorship program either as a mentor or a mentee.
The individual recipe pages do not offer a rating or review system, but you can click through to see the user's individual recipe box or share the recipe through other social media platforms. You can also participate in discussions through the BakeSpace forums.
Cucumbertown
Cucumbertown.com
Cucumbertown describes itself as "a closely knit tribe curating recipes from the world over." Many of the recipes posted by Cucumbertown members are available for viewing by non-members, but you will need to register to have access to the full library. You will also need an account if you wish to "follow" other cooks on the site.
Registered users get their own profile page and the ability to publish as many recipes as they'd like. After you have submitted a "sufficient" portfolio of recipes, you may be invited to have your own personalized username.cucumbertown.com domain for your own sub-website. On the individual recipe pages, users can like, comment ("notes"), and provide a star rating up to five stars. If you've tried a recipe, you are encouraged to upload a photo of the dish too.
Users can choose to sign up for Cucumbertown using an email address, Facebook account or Google account.
FoodPals
FoodPals.com
The site design for FoodPals may look comparatively dated next to more modern social networks, but the community aspect is strong on this cooking and food-oriented social network. Non-members are free to browse through over 18,000 recipes and over 600 blogs, but registration is required to post anything of your own. Individual recipe pages allow for comments, reviews, and ratings up to five stars.
There are multiple social and sharing aspects to FoodPals that help develop this sense of online community. Members can add recipes to the FoodPals global network, and they can also post their own blogs via their free webpage. This is also where they can share a photo gallery, a virtual cookbook and a guest book. Members are encouraged to participate in the discussion forums, upload videos, and join groups on the site as well.
Nibbledish.com
The goal of NibbleDish is to create an online cookbook with the "best user-rated recipes" to inspire your next meal, dessert or snack. An online community of avid cooks, NibbleDish community members create basic profiles where all of their submitted recipes can be gathered and shared. The 7,000+ recipes are publicly accessible and can be searched for based on ratings, tags, and popularity, and the food photography is top notch.
Recipe pages encourage user feedback in the form of comments, and the social sharing links are found along the bottom of the screen. What's handy is that the ingredient list is shown along the right side of the recipe with the instructions along the left side, which makes it easy to refer to both at the same time. Recipes can also be embedded on your own website using the embed code provided. The most active members can earn "Pro" status with a clear designation on their profile pictures.
Recipefy
Recipefy.com
While there is certainly a social aspect to the online community of Recipefy, the website is designed to help cooks better manage their recipes by organizing them by tags. These recipes can then be shared easily with friends by email, Facebook or Twitter. Recipes can be set to public or private, in case you have a secret recipe you'd rather not share with the world at large.
Of course, connecting with other cooks and exploring their recipes is equally important. You can comment on and "like" recipes, the latter of which is akin to bookmarking the recipe for later use. If you find another cook that you particularly like, you can also "follow" him or her to get updates about new recipes.
Recipefy boasts over 15,000 recipes from around the world, and they can easily be explored based on category or country. You can also search for recipes based on keyword.
Sweet, Savory and Social
Tap into the culinary wisdom of your fellow amateur home cooks, as well as any professional or semi-professional chefs who participate in these wonderful cooking social networks. You'll find the sheer variety of recipes and cuisine is truly astounding. Browsing through additional profiles and boards related to recipes and cooking, like Pinterest, will really expand your recipe collection.

Want to give your desktop Linux a Chrome makeup? I've got a theme that might suit you.
Chrome OS, a derivative of open source project Chromium OS, is a far-distant cousin of desktop Linux. It has grown somewhat popular recently. Chromebooks (devices preinstalled with Chrome OS) have outsold MacBooks in America.
Many Linux users have liked Chromebooks for the facts that it is cheap, good-looking, lightweight and gives you access to command line (you'll have to put some effort for the command line). In an earlier post, we have seen how to install Linux on Chromebook. But this post is not about Chromebooks.
But this post is not about Chromebooks. This article is about a new theme that changes the look of your current desktop Linux environment to make it look like Chrome OS, or so it tries.
Once downloaded, extract it to ~/.themes directory.
In both the cases, you can use a tool like Unity Tweak Tool, GNOME Tweak Tool or the tools for your desktop environment to use the newly installed theme. You can read this post to learn in detail how to change themes in Ubuntu Unity.
Honestly, a theme is incomplete without a matching icon theme. As you can see, the theme doesn't blend in properly. Of course, you can put more effort to make it actually look like Chrome OS (by installing matching icon theme, using bottom launcher etc), but I leave that to you.
Since we are talking about Chrome OS, I would suggest you to check material design inspired Paper theme suite. It has both icons and GTK theme and it does change the entire look of the desktop pretty well. The icons are marvellous and they even made to the top spot of our list of best icon themes for Ubuntu 16.04.

Glossary of paving terms
This is a selection of entries from the 12,000 in the second edition of The Dictionary of Urbanism by Rob Cowan. It originally appeared in IHBC's Context 152, published in November 2017.
Asphalt (also asphalt concrete): 1 A street paving material made of asphalt (bitumen) and mineral aggregate (such as sand or stone-dust). The material makes up the large majority of all urban paved surfaces. 2 The black, viscous form of petroleum, found in natural deposits or made by refining, used in making the paving material. Compare tarmac.
Asphalt chip sealing: Rolling a layer of aggregate into a base of asphalt emulsion binder to improve tyre grip and road wear, or alter the appearance or reflectivity. Using light-coloured aggregate can increase reflectance and reduce warming, or a local stone can help the road fit in better with its surroundings.
Belgian block: A cubical paving block; a sett
Bitmac: The road surface. From bitumen and MACadam.
Blockhead: An enthusiast for wood-block paving. A group of people who restored Chicago's last complete wood-block alley (originally constructed in 1909) in 2011 called themselves 'blockheads'.
Boyington paving: A form of wood-block street paving. It was introduced in Chicago in 1868.
Cassie (Scotland): 1 A paving stone, sett or wooden paving block. See wood-block paving. 2 A cobbled or setted street or pavement. 3 v. To pave. The word comes from causeway.
Causeway: A raised road or path across water or low-lying land, sometimes including flood arches.
Causey: 1 n. (mainly Scotland and the north of England) A street or pavement, usually one paved with cobbles rather than flags. 2 A cobble. 3 n. A causeway. 4 v. To pave, particularly down the centre of the street. Example: 'By [the] mid 1700s most of the streets in the Old Town were setted or "causeyed" (applied to where they were paved down the middle with drains on either side)' (from Edinburgh Standards for Streets, 2006). The word comes from causeway. See also crown o' the causey.
Causey edge (Yorkshire): A kerb.
Cobble (also, especially US, cobblestone): A naturally rounded stone (usually from rivers, fields or the sea) used for paving and walls. Setts are often popularily called cobbles (see cobbled).
Cobbled (of a street): 1 Paved with cobbles. 2 Paved with setts. When people refer to 'cobbled streets' they are often referring to streets paved with setts.
Crib-stane (Scots): A kerbstone.
Crown o' the causey (Scots): The middle of the street. The 2006 guide Edinburgh Standards for Streets writes that in Edinburgh's Old Town 'crowns of the causeway (a ridge or crown along the centre of a road) was [sic] removed and levelled along with other subsequent improvements in the late 1700s'. See causey.
Cube: A square sett.
Dropped kerb/curb (UK/US): A short stretch of kerb that has been lowered to allow vehicles to drive across the pavement and park in driveways which used to be front gardens; a section of kerb lowered to let people in wheelchairs or with buggies to cross the road.
Dropper kerb/curb: The kerbstones required to create a dropped kerb.
Encaustic tile: One whose pattern is created by using different colours of clay, rather than by printing or glazing.
Flagstone (also flag): A flat slab of stone, often used for paving.
Granolithic paving: A material composed of cement and aggregate, used for paving.
Gridder: A person who spots drain covers, coal-hole covers and other similar metalwork on streets and pavements as a hobby.
Horonized paving (Scotland): A paved surface consisting of irregular fragments of stone (usually by-products of the manufacture of setts or cobbles) set in cement or another binder. Such paving is often used to cover small, irregular areas and on slopes, where the rough surface provides good grip.
Kerb (also curb): The edge of a pavement, often marked by a kerbstone (curbstone); a line of kerbstones where footway and carriageway meet. From the Latin curvus meaning bent, by way of the French courbe.
Knucklebone pavement: One surfaced with the knuckle bones of animals.
Ledger (also ledger stone): A flat stone slab, usually inscribed, covering a grave or tomb.
Macadam: 1 (also stone macadam) A type of road construction with a smooth, hard surface, in which layers of compacted, crushed stone are bound with stone dust. It was pioneered by the engineer and road-builder John McAdam (1756–1836). 2 (also bitumen macadam) A similar type of road construction but with the addition of tar as a binder. See also bitmac and tarmac.
Mathematical pavior: A type of paving brick (similar to a stable-block paver) incised with a distinctive design, made in buff and dark-blue variants in Somerset in the nineteenth century.
Metalled road: One surfaced in road metal, in a late eighteenth century sense of the word metal, referring to the crushed rock that formed part of the system of building a sealed and waterproof road surface pioneered by the engineer John McAdam. Before that, metal referred to anything useful that had been extracted from the ground. The word comes from Latin metallum, a mine or quarry.
Pavement: 1 (UK) The raised surface for pedestrians beside a street or road. The US equivalent is sidewalk, though pavement is used in some parts of the southern states. 2 (US, and UK highway engineers) The structure of a road, including its surface and underlying foundations. The general UK equivalent is roadway. 3 A paved surface. 4 An alley. From the Latin pavire, to beat hard.
Paving Commission: One of the local boards of improvement set up in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries in the UK by a locally specific Act of Parliament to pave, repair, light and clean streets and other public spaces, levying a rate on householders to pay for this. Their duties were later taken over by local authorities.
Pavior (also paver and paviour): 1 A paving stone or other paving block. 2 A person who lays paving.
Pebble: 1 A small stone, rounded by the action of water, ice or sand, as used in pebble paving. 2 (obsolete) A stone. Leases signed in the 1770s for the construction of houses in Bedford Square, London, specified that the carriageway in front of the houses should be paved with 'Scotch Granite or Square Jersey Pebbles'.
Pebble paving: Paving consisting of pebbles set in cement or some other binder.
Pitched: 1 (of a roof) Set on a slope. 2 A characteristic of paving that is composed of cobbles that are set on edge to provide an even surface.
Pitching (especially Birmingham, England): n. A pavement, particularly one made from stones set on end or edge; a foundation of a road or pavement made from such stones.
Plainstones (Old Scots): A pavement.
Scoria block: A particularly durable and robust block, used for building and paving, made (from the eighteenth century onwards) from scoria (the residue of metal-smelting processes). Scoria is Ancient Greek for excrement.
Sett: A small rectangular quarried stone used for paving. Setts are often popularily called cobbles (see cobbled). Wooden and rubber setts have also occasionally been used. See also belgian block.
Stable-block paver: A durable paving brick indented with a grid of lines to shed liquid and provide good grip.
Stoneway (also stone tramway): A paved surface consisting of two parallel tracks of stone for a vehicle's wheels to run on, and setts between the slabs to provide a good grip for its horse's hooves. They were used in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
Tarmac: 1 A generic name for asphalt surfaces. 2 A patented type of road-surfacing material composed mainly of compacted tar and aggregate. The word is a shortening of tarmacadam, a word combining tar- with the name of the engineer and road-builder John McAdam (1756–1836), who invented a process for building roads with a smooth, hard surface (macadam).
Wood-block paving: Wooden blocks (usually treated with bitumen or creosote) used for paving streets as a cheaper and quieter (though less durable) alternative to stone and asphalt. See also blockhead, boyington paving and cassie.
Togher (Ireland): A roadway or causeway. From the Irish word tóchar.
Wheeler: 1 A double track of large, flat stones (often granite) laid in an otherwise cobbled or setted street or other space, providing a smooth surface for the wheels of vehicles. See stoneway. 2 A cyclist.
Whinstone (also whin) (Scotland and northern England): Any hard, dark-coloured rock. Whinstone is sometimes used for setts and as a building material. Whin is also a name for the gorse plant.

I enjoyed "Do You Possess The Necessary Elements To Successfully Invent?" \[Jan. 8, p. 148\] and have a few comments.
When we computer-model a device, it's tempting to use the same approach: model, revise, try again, revise, and so on. There's little reward from duplicating in metal the thing already built in the computer. It's more fun to forge ahead. But the model isn't reality. There are differences. Each error is multiplied in each subsequent model until often there's no resemblance between the model and the real world.
I feel sorry for the inventors who get someone else to do the prior-art search. Immense satisfaction comes from doing your own search. You can't help but be exposed to wild stuff that you never dreamed about yet might contain the seeds of an idea. We should encourage all would-be inventors to do their own paper searches. CD-ROMs or Internet databases are efficient in one way, but if the overall goal is to continue to produce more innovations, I'm not sure they're worth it.
There's much to be learned by just looking at the quantities of patents. I was once working on heat-powered refrigeration, like the old Servel gas refrigerators. Plotting the number of patents issued per year, it was clear when the rural U.S. was electrified. This information can be handy if one is considering third-world situations or other nonpower-grid applications. By crossing several of these searches, all sorts of concepts begin to emerge. Computers would be great at this task!
I don't think money is the major motivator for true invention. For one thing, the sorting and matching process you described happens in the subconscious and probably mostly when you're asleep. Money isn't important in that sphere. Also, I've known a number of inventors who suffered a bad experience when they brushed up against capitalism. They will never expose themselves to that hurt again, yet they continue inventing because they can't help it.
When inventors keep inventions to themselves, society loses. Of course, a lot of inventions are worthless except in the eye of the inventor. But many others fail to make the transition into the marketplace because the inventor has the disposition of an inventor, not a capitalist.
We need a word in our language for the people who create a product, or concept, or company by their blood, sweat, and tears. Inventor isn't the word—frequently, no invention is involved. Entrepreneur isn't the word either. It conveys an intent to convert the concept into money ASAP. Money is a powerful force in our world, but by no means is it the only reason to grow an idea. Sometimes the idea is reason enough, and sometimes the idea must also provide a living. Some technically creative people don't value money above all else, and our language fails to provide for them.
Would you please share Jacob Rabinow's test for determining invention aptitude, mentioned in "Do You Possess The Necessary Elements To Successfully Invent?"
Exhibiting argumentation supported by the residue of modern liberal arts education, Michael Jeffrey disparages the GPL while venting inevitable frustration attendant upon offering Inferno to a market dominated by a formidable alternative called Linux \["The Conflict That Is Open Source: Is It A Philosophy Or A Dogma?" Jan. 22, p. 48\]. Without Linux, we may never have heard about the GPL. Certainly without the GPL, we would never have heard of Linux. The crux of the matter is that without Linux, Michael's job would be easier. Thanks to Richard Stallman's GPL, however, we have Linux. Therefore, my job is easier.
By the way, the word "niggle" means to pay too much attention to petty detail. The GPL definition of the word "free" is far from a petty detail, being the focus of the entire work.
Along with the election, your article detailing practical reactor waste disposal \["Energy Independence—Without Pollution—Lies At Our Fingertips," Nov. 6, 2000, p. 165\] inspired a proposal for the new administration. Presidents have been served by scientific advisory groups. Often including pseudoscientists, they have provided little useful guidance.
Another area of wasted resources is our environmental protection efforts. Decisions are often binary, knee-jerky, or just politically correct. There has been little cost-benefit analysis or value engineering in "impact studies," antitrust, or other actions causing enormous effects.
We should do much better. I propose a technical advisory committee primarily composed of practicing engineers based in their own offices, not in Washington, with interaction via the net. Issues would be introduced for solutions by its members. A first topic would be nuclear waste disposal, with your solution at hand.

Does your company have a culture of chaos?
The written word is often run down in today's business climate in favour of the verbal, informal and unstructured approach. Disruption, they cry! Innovation, they say! Calling for formality and structure isn't trendy, but there remains an argument for it.
In organisations, knowing your purpose can be a powerful concept. Aligning under one clear, unifying goal can engage a team, inspire performance, bring a strategy to action and strengthen your brand.

These past couple of weeks have been filled with midterms at college. With all of this studying and preparation I thought I would share some jazz albums that help me study.
Some of my favorite jazz albums are 'Relaxin', 'Steamin', 'Cookin', and 'Workin'. These albums all came out around the same time and contain mostly standards. 'Workin' is great for studying because, besides the name of course, it has a low key vibe that won't get in the way of you focusing. I love the track, "It Never Entered My Mind", because of the repetitive piano part that Red Garland plays.
Ahmad Jamal has such an understated way of playing piano. His music seems to leave blank spaces for the listener to fill in. This particular album features Jamal's trio and is perfect background music for anything from homework to chores.
I saw Brad Mehldau and his trio last December at the Berklee Performance Center. What struck me was his light touch on the piano, and the way he cumulates different sounds into his music. "Highway Rider" doesn't come across as any one genre, and it has this sort of energy that clears my mind.
I have been taking online jazz education courses by both Chick Corea and Gary Burton. I absolutely love their collaborations, because it is a chance to reflect on both of their lessons. This album is very calming to listen to while I read books.
Maria Schneider is one of my absolute favorite composers, and I have seen her big band live numerous times. "Concert in the Garden" is a gorgeous blend of classical, flamenco, jazz, and other world music. This music creates a perfect atmosphere to type a paper or do research.
Even with so many tests and midterms, music can help create relaxation and focus.
Please visit my jazz poetry blog, "Without a Poem", where I improvise a new poem everyday. I also have artwork and songs of the day, so stay tuned! This week inspired my haiku, "Highway rider".
What music helps you study?

Black Bear - It's What's for Dinner
Amber Ambrose
Amber Ambrose | November 10, 2010 | 2:30pm
If you've always wanted a chance to try out the meat of the mighty black bear, tomorrow, Thursday, is your chance. The first 30 culinary adventurers to make a reservation at Charivari for the three-course, $35 meal will get a chance to sample bear meatball soup Transylvanian style; bear Tokany, a Hungarian stew; and a cleverly themed cobbler made with a German honey-flavored liqueur called Baerenjaeger, which translates to "bear hunter."
The black bear has long been hunted in the United States and Canada for both its fur and meat. The Kutchin (also known as Gwich'in), a Native American tribe in Alaska and Canada, has been hunting the black bear for centuries as a source of protein. Along with native people and European settlers, one man pretty important to American history, who you might know as Teddy Roosevelt, was quite fond of hunting these majestic, if intimidating, animals for the thrill as well as the meat - although our guess lies with the former more than the latter. He compared the taste and texture of the meat to pork.
From the recipes available online, it seems the popularity of bear hunting and bear meat did not die with our former president. If you're lucky enough to kill a black bear or know a big game hunter who's willing to share, here are a few recipes to make your own black bear feast - just make sure you cook the meat thoroughly, as they can carry a potentially dangerous parasite known as trichinella.

What does God want from me? Most seem to make the answer to this question overly complicated, too narrow or too subjective. But God has told us, again and again, what he wants from us. He has given us his law, and Jesus helps us to see its essence by pointing to love of God and neighbor as the fulfillment of the law. Here in Micah God reveals his will to us in a way that requires our attention, for the values of God are often at odds with the values of contemporary Christianity.
As we have seen in the earlier posts God wants us to do justice, not just talk about it. It must be more than a "core value" on the church website. He also expects us to love mercy, not merely perform such works outwardly. To love mercy reveals a heart that has experienced it and desires to imitate God in offering it to others. To walk humbly with God is the context in which the work of justice and the love of mercy spring forth.
What does God want from me? He wants me to walk humbly with him.
Humility is an attitude that results from an honest appraisal of ourselves before a holy and sovereign God. When we see God as perfect in holiness, righteousness and love we then more accurately understand who we are; men and women made in his image, but who have come to live in sin, value self more than God and others, and who generally love only the lovely. Humility is the response of a soul that has seen God and self and has become meek, but it is not about beating ourselves up and concluding that we are scum. Despite our sinfulness, we are not trash to be thrown away. Because we are God's creation, and still reflect his image, we have true value, and our lives are sacred. Practically humility is an attitude that admits I am no better than another (all have sinned and fall short of God's glory), and God is better than all.
What does God want? He wants us to walk in humility. "Walk" is a common biblical metaphor that indicates our manner of living. To walk humbly is to live humbly, and it implies a practice that requires effort. To walk is an exertion of the will. It takes determination, intentionality, and persistence. The humility God wants from us does not spring forth suddenly without warning in the life of Christians like some internal virtue geyser. It comes about through the presence of faith/repentance and the practice of the virtue itself.
At the same time this humility is not something that we can do on our own. He invites us to walk humbly with him. It is as we live our lives in the presence of God that humility is formed. One cannot "practice the presence of God" without learning humility. An awareness of God's holy presence in all that we do brings to light the essential spiritual value of even the most mundane things, while encouraging thoughtful, humble living, for God is truly with us.
It's important to note that the God with whom we walk is said to be "our God." This means that there is a relationship with God that produces more than fear. Knowing his love and grace toward us in Jesus Christ shatters pride, melts fear, compels us to worship and magnifies humility. Our pride is destroyed because God only accepts us as we are cleansed by the blood of Christ. Despite the pop-theology cliche, God does not accept us as we are, but as we are in Christ. Our own goodness - our best - is partial, conditional, relative, passing and superficial. We are not acceptable on our own, and as sinful men and women we are all in the same boat. One is accepted by God through Christ alone, and this acceptance, this justification kills pride. This leads to humility, for while we were at our worst, God loved us, Christ died for us, that we might know and delight in him.
What does God want from us? He wants us to value him above all things, to love the things he loves, to hate the things he hates, to reflect him in all our days on this earth. So he tells us in Micah to do justice, for God is just; to love mercy, for mercy is from God; and to walk humbly with him, for such is the state of the soul that loves him and neighbor more than self.

The inability to find quality, affordable child care can be an issue for economically stable parents, but for student-parents, finding decent care can be nearly impossible.According to a study from the Institute for Women's Policy Research (IWPR), almost a quarter of undergraduate students in the United States are student-parents. Without access to childcare, these parents may have to resort to bringing their child(ren) to class – possibly distracting their classmates. If they are lucky, they may be able to rely on family or friends. If not, they may end up skipping class altogether.
Of those 3.9 million student-parents, 50 percent are Black, which begs the question: how many HBCUs offer adequate, on-campus childcare?
Why is campus childcare so important? In 2012, the cost of childcare was greater than rent in most states. In addition to being too expensive, off-campus, licensed childcare centers can be too far from campus and may not offer hours flexible enough to accommodate student-parents' schedules, causing them to incur fees when they are too late to pick up their child.
For these reasons, some student-parents opt for unlicensed childcare facilities, which don't require background checks and may or may not focus on early childhood education.
The best option for many student-parents is on-campus childcare. Unfortunately, not all schools offer on-campus care, and schools that do give professors priority placement, may charge unreasonable prices or have too few available slots to meet the demand.
It can be a little difficult for prospective HBCU students to figure out which schools offer the best campus childcare. Historically Black schools aren't exactly known for having the most user-friendly/searchable websites around. But a student-parent who would rather attend an HBCU can start by looking into one of these schools:
Howard University – Complete with a colorful playground, and classroom libraries full of gems like a picture book about Shaka Zulu, the Howard University Early Learning Program offers everything from nature walks and hands-on science lessons to Afrikan Martial Arts.
Serves: Full-time students, faculty and community members.
Ages enrolled: Students ages 3 – 6.
Payment: There are separate tuition options for students, HU employees and community members.
Upsides: A diverse curriculum, flexible hours (children can be dropped off as early as 7:30 a.m. and stay as late as 5:45 p.m.) and a summer program.
Downsides: According to the online brochure, "tuition is subject to change without prior notice." Meh.
Tennessee State University – Tennessee State boasts two childcare centers: an early learning center on its main campus and a childcare center on its Avon Williams Campus.
Serves: Students, faculty and staff.
Ages enrolled: Ages three and older.
Payment: $100/week. Tuition must be paid on a monthly basis.
Upsides: Focuses on major child development theories regarding cognitive and social-emotional development and offers evening hours Monday thru Thursday.
Downsides: Late fee of $1.00/minute.
Florida A&M University – FAMU's New Beginnings Educational Research Center offers early childhood education and after school care.
Serves: Priority is give to students and faculty.
Ages enrolled: Preschoolers ages 2.5-5.
Payment: $350/month for students
Upsides: After school care is available for children ages 5-12, students can attend for a maximum of 50 hours per week, thorough information available online.
Downsides: Lots of annual fees listed.
Texas Southern University – TSU's Child Development Center
Serves: Students, faculty/staff and the community.
Ages enrolled: Infants (6 weeks old) to pre-school-aged students (3 to 5 years of age).
Payment: $618/month for pre-school, $648/month for toddlers and $688 for infants. There is also an annual supply fee of $100.
Upsides: Infant care is offered, the lesson plans are available online and meals are included in the tuition.
Downsides: Part-time care is not available for infants and toddlers. Tuition is a little pricey, and there is no lower rate for students.
Hampton University – Hampton's Child Development Center admits children of students, staff, faculty, alumni and community members.
Serves: Basically, anyone who has ever been affiliated with the university.
Ages enrolled: Ages 2.5 years to 5 years old.
Payment: $125/week for one child, $112.50 for each additional child
Upsides: Before and after school care available. In addition to the usual puzzles, books and crafts, classrooms are also equipped with tricycles, puppet stages and computers.
Downsides: $20 late fee for the first 15 minutes and a $15 fee for each additional 15 minutes.

Mama I Made It: The Wall Street Journal Discusses The Success Of The Coalition DJs
The Urban Daily Staff
Follow @TheUrbanDaily
You know things have really evolved in the hip-hop world when The Wall Street Journal is writing not just about hip-hop but about the culture via DJ crews and Atlanta strip clubs! But it happened and the Coalition DJs are ecstatic about the nod, no doubt.
The article broke down how each member of the Coalition DJs is responsible for spinning five new songs two to three times a night over an eight-week period, working them in between better-known hits. Artists, who pay several thousand dollars per song for the service, get a customized printout of data verifying where and when their song was played.
The article was laced with references to the various record company execs that depend on the coalition to get the word out about their new artists and music and how pivitol they have become to the process in Atlanta.
Terri Fischer, owner of popular Atlanta club Strokers remarked on how ever since one of her veteran DJs, DJ Funky joined the coalition five years ago, business has grown.
Said Ms. Fischer,
"They have a great following, and a lot of entertainers that follow their group."
The DJs won't accept just any song. They vet potential clients at their weekly meetings, inviting a handful of artists each week to play their best tracks. They critique the work on the spot and make suggestions, often advising the artists to rework certain sequences or invest in getting a track mixed and mastered by a professional, not "your cousin." (Now where have we heard THAT before? But we digress!)
On a recent evening a trio called Da Arsonist came in and blasted three songs for the coalition.
After the first track was through playing DJ Nando spoke up and said,
"The hook is kind of muffled. "Hey shawty, let me see?" For a split second I thought you were saying: 'Hey shawty, H.I.V.! I'm just thinking about the consumer; you might need to get that hook cleaned up."
This is definitely an article that speaks to the evolution of hip-hop as it is almost unheard of to see such a piece in the Wall Street Journal. If the Coalition DJ's were not known before in mainstream America, we imagine they are now!

At Lallo & Feldman, we have been protecting the rights of injured workers in Cleveland, Lake County, Ashtabula and throughout the region since 1979. We have a complete knowledge of the Ohio's workers' compensation system, and we use that knowledge to secure the benefits our injured clients deserve.
Report the injury to your employer: Claims can be won and lost based on whether the worker properly notified his or her employer of the injury. Make sure to tell the employer that you got hurt on the job, clearly describe how you were injured and be sure to describe all body parts that are in pain, no matter how trivial they may seem.
See a doctor: Find a doctor who treats workers' compensation patients. Such doctors know how to properly document injuries for legal purposes. Our attorneys can assist with this.
File a First Report of Injury (FROI): A FROI must be filed with the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation (BWC). The FROI can be filed by you, your employer or your doctor. The BWC will send you an identification card and claim number. Continue seeing your doctor while the BWC starts processing the claim.
Cooperate with your employer: Certain employers have the right to request that injured employees sign a medical release or submit to a medical exam. Also, if you request certain services, such as an MRI, the employer may have you examined by another doctor first. Failure to sign the release or submit to an exam can lead to a suspension of the claim.
Lallo & Feldman's attorneys help clients in Cleveland and the surrounding areas do everything from filing the initial workers' comp claim to attending hearings to filing any necessary appeals. We have extensive experience with the BWC and the Industrial Commission of Ohio. You can rely on us to guide your claim as it moves through the system and to pursue all of the medical benefits and lost time payments you need.
