This grant supports the Bull City 150 project's mission to invite Durhamites to reckon with the racial and economic injustices of the past 150 years, and commit to building a more equitable future. The project presents original historical research through public exhibitions, where visitors can explore their shared history together, in public. Bull City 150's exhibitions allow visitors to delve into Durham's history through first-hand encounters with images, archival documents, sound recordings, maps, data visualizations, and hands-on interactives. Carefully researched and curated, the project's exhibitions connect with visitors on an intellectual and emotional level by sharing personal stories of everyday Durhamites alongside evidence of the broader social and economic conditions that shaped their lives. By relating the past to their own lives in the present, visitors are invited to learn about local inequality and contribute to critical, historically-grounded dialogue about the future of their city.

This grant supports a partnership between the Wilma Dykeman Legacy and the Buncombe County Public Libraries, to host a 2018 series of lectures, documentary film screenings, and book club discussions to introduce Ashevillians to four important Southern women writers.
The years from World War I to World War II constituted one of the greatest periods of productivity in American literature. The names and novels of Sinclair Lewis, Ernest Hemingway, Scott Fitzgerald and William Faulkner are well known to many, but few Americans know of Lillian Smith, Caroline Miller, and Elizabeth Madox Roberts – although one of them won the Pulitzer Prize and the other two earned international reputations. Another fourth featured woman author will be, Mildred Haun, wrote a remarkable short story cycle revealing little-known facets of American society and culture.
Each session will be led by a humanities scholar who will lead the public through a discussion of these authors. The lecture will be followed with a book club discussion of the author's work the following week.
This grant supports the creation of a traveling exhibit and three public programs commemorating and honoring the contested history of the Central Carolina Convalescent Hospital. The first event is on the 70th anniversary of the polio hospital opening; the second, on World Polio Day; and third on International Students Day.
During a polio epidemic Greensboro installed a polio hospital in a former building of the Overseas Replacement Depot, a military installation where troops were stationed before traveling overseas. In 1948, the Piedmont Triad and surrounding communities banded together, funding and completing construction on the hospital in just ninety-five days. The polio hospital was one of the first racially integrated hospitals in the nation. The hospital declined in importance as the threat of polio diminished, and it closed in 1961. Two years later, the city used the site as a makeshift prison for high school and college students fighting segregation, many of whom stayed in the hospital with limited supplies for nearly three weeks.
This grant supports the Historic Hillsborough Commission's events to mark the 200th anniversary of the 1818 birth of Elizabeth Hobbs Keckly, who lived at the Burwell School Historic Site from 1835 - 1842 as an enslaved member of the Burwell household. Their year-long commemoration includes a series of programs which started February 11, 2018 and consists of exhibits, lectures and dramatic representations.
The North Carolina Humanities Council's grant supports the culminating scholarly event, a symposium held at a local African American church, featuring several of the most distinguished Keckly scholars from across the nation on November 10 and 11. This will be followed by a "pop-up museum" for young historians, led by Keckly's premiere biographer. The event will be opened by Dr. Michelle Lanier, Director of the NC African American Historical Commission, who will read aloud a Governor's Proclamation declaring November 10, 2018 to be Elizabeth Hobbs Keckly Day in NC.
Sponsored by Raleigh Civic Symphony Association Inc.
This grant supports the interdisciplinary public humanities project, "Our Voices Will Be Heard." This project immerses the audience in the world of the Women's Suffrage, recreating the urgency of the cause and marches and bringing the experience to life through Virtual Reality. The project features an orchestral concert and related community engagement offerings built around the themes of gender equality, racial equality and social justice as fundamental human rights. The centerpiece of the concert is the World Premiere of the first-ever orchestral work incorporating Virtual Reality and a live symphony orchestra. In celebration of the Voting Rights Act, the orchestra will perform the American premiere of Florence Price's newly discovered "Ethiopia's Shadow in America." Ms. Price was the first African American composer ever to be performed by a major symphony. This work was discovered in a forgotten collection of papers in an attic in Chicago, and has only been performed once, by an orchestra in the United Kingdom.
Accompanying the concert is a series of community engagement events that further address the themes addressed in the musical program including: panels, Q&As, and an interactive, contextual display of voting rights movements, the culmination of a semester-long project by NC State Graphic Design students will complement the concert. The project is a collaboration with internationally-acclaimed composer Aleksandra Vrebalov, NC State Assistant Professor of Graphic Design Derek Ham, NC State College of Design graduate students and the community members and students of the orchestras.
This grant supports scholarships for 8-10 North Carolina Public School teachers' to attend at the 2018 Annual Jane Austen Summer Program (JASP).

Sidney Poitier Dies; Film Icon Was 94
Sad news out of Hollywood today, as screen legend Sidney Poitier has passed away at the age of 94.
News of Poitier's death was confirmed by the press secretary for the Prime Minister of the Bahamas, where the actor lived for much of his life.
Poitier's professional achievements were innumerable, and his list of iconic roles rivals those of any screen actor in the history of the film industry.
But when the late legend's inspirational story is told and re-told in the days to come, no doubt much of the praise will be focused on his courage in breaking Hollywood's color barrier.
Poitier was the first Black man to win an Academy Award, earning the Best Actor honors for his performance in the 1963 film Lilies of the Field.
It was a momentous occasion that was recognized then as now for its historic importance.
But it was only the beginning of Poitier's trailblazing contributions to the worlds of cinema and race discourse in America.
In 1967 alone, the actor appeared in three critically and commercially successful films, each of them dealing, in some way, with the ongoing problem of bigotry and the unique challenges faced by people of color in the United States.
To Sir, with Love; Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, and In the Heat of the Night cemented Poitier's reputation as one of the most gifted actors of his generation.
But perhaps more importantly, those films demonstrated to a divided nation that this was a man who would continue to raise difficult questions and confront the vital issues of his day with his art.
Though his family was based in the Bahamas, Poitier was born unexpectedly during a trip to Miami.
The youngest of seven children, Sidney was two months premature and not expected to survive.
The circumstances of his birth granted Poitier American citizenship, and he moved first to Miami and then to New York City while he was still in his teens.
In 1943, Poitier lied about his age and enlisted in the US Army hoping to assist in the war effort.
Poitier was assigned to a Veteran's Administration hospital in Northport, New York, where he became infuriated with the staff's poor treatment of psychiatric patients, an early example of the compassion and empathy that would characterize his acting career.
After leaving the army, Poitier joined the American Negro Theater, where he worked to rid himself of his Bahamian accent in order to increase his appeal to audiences and casting directors.
By the end of the decade, Hollywood had come calling, and Poitier stood out in a number of small roles in well-received films.
His breakout opportunity came in 1955, when he played a rebellious high school student in the hit drama Blackboard Jungle.
Over the course of the next several decades, Poitier would appear in more than fifty films, retiring from the world of acting in 2008 at the age of 81.
News of Poitier's death has made him a worldwide trending topic on social media, with tributes pouring in from friends, fellow actors, and a legion of adoring fans.
We'd like to join those millions in expressing our sincere appreciation for a man who overcame the humblest of origins to reshape an industry and a nation.

The Truth About GMO foods
May 21, 2016 By Melissa Gansler
Chipotle removes GMO foods from the menu.
(Mirror Daily, United States) – Fast-food chain Chipotle declared last year that they would start their "G-M-Over It" campaign (GMO), proving their commitment to healthy food by erasing from the menu genetically engineered ingredients.
However, scientists were not that worried regarding any possible danger due to GMO foods. One of the reasons why Chipotle started their campaign was because, as they acknowledged, they were still serving GMO dairy products, meats, and soft drinks.
Researchers from the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine, presented Tuesday their study which revealed two major points regarding the GMO. First, the fact that genetically engineered crops are not more dangerous than conventionally bred crops.
Second, the weed and insect resistance that has developed through their use represent a 'major agricultural problem.' Plus, substantial differences were detected in nutrient composition between nonengineered and engineered crops. However, relating to what happens naturally among nonengineered crops, there is no different variance.
Plus, there was no evidence that engineered food leads to a higher risk of health issues such as obesity, autism or cancer. Nevertheless, scientists discovered that genetic engineering used mainly in commercial farming posed a significant problem concerning the agriculture industry.
The reason is that this engineering is used to provide insect and herbicide resistance. Around 12 percent of the world's cropland is used for growing genetically engineered crops, mainly cotton, corn, and soybeans.
Farmers hoped that herbicide- and –insect resistant crops would be more efficient, increasing the profits for large commercial companies but also reducing the use of toxic insecticides and promoting food security around the world.
According to the study, less insecticide is used nowadays, maintaining the well-being of the environment. However, researchers established that there was not much improvement thanks to the genetically engineered crops from U.S. more than the previous one.
The study is not finished yet, meaning that scientists will find more clarifying answers regarding the advantages and disadvantages of the genetically engineered crops. Still, the information which has been offered to the public until now provides a clearer picture regarding this situation.
Nevertheless, we will find out in the future whether GMOs are dangerous or not and how should people react to this type of food.

Daily flossing should be a part of your oral hygiene routine. Dental floss helps remove particles and plaque in the area between the gums and teeth that are otherwise unreachable by a toothbrush alone.
The actual technique for flossing is quite easy. Wind a couple of inches of dental floss around your fingers, glide it around each tooth, slide up, and repeat for each tooth. For people with braces, however, flossing can be quite a challenge.
Dental braces are devices used to straighten teeth and fix various problems associated with misalignment. Because of the nooks and crannies that naturally form due to these devices, more food particles and plaque can be stuck in between them. It is doubly important to floss your teeth the proper way.
How to Floss with Braces Easily.
Here's a step-by-step process on how to use dental floss with braces as advised by top dentists in Ryde.
Choose the right kind of floss. There are many types of floss currently available in the market. Since braces have metal pieces, unwaxed floss may get stuck or even broken quite easily. Use waxed floss for more durability.
Wind approximately 12-18 inches of floss around either your index and middle finger in one hand.
Thread the floss behind the archwire of your brace. You can do this in two ways. The first way is to thread the floss directly under the archwire. However, if the gums are in the way (in the case of inflammation, for example), you may not be able to get it under. The second way is to use a floss threader. It looks like a small plastic needle that is thin and sturdy enough to go under the archwire. Thread the floss through its loop and guide through the archwire.
Carefully push the floss between your teeth. Be mindful of the archwire of your braces. As we've mentioned, you don't want your floss to be cut or get stuck between the metal pieces.
Slide the floss deep into the gums then back with a gentle rub. This is the most common area where bacteria and food particles are trapped. Move the floss up and down several times. Don't worry if it may seem that the floss is not getting particles out. Flossing will help in flushing out invisible bacteria that cause tooth decay, bad breath, and gum disease.
Gently pull the dental floss out. Again, be careful in pulling the floss or else it will be trapped by the metal pieces. If you notice that there's blood in your floss, don't panic. This is a normal occurrence, especially for first-time floss users. As you continue your daily flossing habit, the bleeding will lessen until it would eventually disappear.
Continue the flossing process for each tooth. Repeat the threading, rubbing, and sliding process until you get to the farthest molars in your mouth. Don't forget the area behind your teeth.
Congratulations, you just finished flossing with braces!
Flossing with braces can take longer than normal. Use dental floss daily to develop a technique that works for you. Take your time when flossing to prevent damaging your gums and even your braces.
To learn more about proper oral hygiene, contact Putney Dental Care on (02) 9808 2588 or send us an email on smile@putneydentalcare.com.au. Our Ryde dentists are more than willing to give advice, from choosing the right floss to proper techniques on how to floss with braces.

The "Not a Love Story" Myth
One of the persistent myths about the Ontario Film Review Board (OFRB) is that they banned the NFB anti-pornography documentary "Not a Love Story: A Film About Pornography." Wikipedia is one of the sources that perpetuates this myth. As with all myths, there is an element of truth, but here's the whole story.
In the early 1980s, the OFRB did review documentaries. However, the presence of explicit sex did not necessarily lead to a ban, or even cutting. "The Art of Worldly Wisdom" includes 46 seconds of close up explicit sex. It was submitted for review by a group of artists called The Ontario Film and Video Appreciation Society (OFVAS), and passed, uncut, with a Restricted rating (no one under age 18 may view). However, the Board placed limits on when and where the film could be shown.
OFVAS submitted three other films. A second one, "Rameau's Nephew" also passed with time and place restrictions. The third film, "Amerika," was banned, and the fourth film was "Not a Love Story." The Board refused to review "Not a Love Story."
OFVAS took the OFRB to court, claiming that the Board had violated the new Canadian Constitution. The Ontario Divisional Court ruled in 1983 that film classification and censorship per se were justifiable under the Constitution. The court also determined that three of the Board's rulings were valid.
The refusal to rate "Not A Love Story" was acceptable to the court. The court ruled that the Board did not need to perform hypothetical reviews. The judge stated "the applicants were seeking permission to show a film they did not own and which they had no right to exhibit." The two approvals with time and place restrictions were ruled a "valid exercise of the Board's power."
The ban of "Amerika" was another matter entirely. The court ruled that the Board had no legally defined rights to determine what the public could view. The Ontario government appealed to the Ontario Supreme Court, but the appeal was dismissed in 1984. Over the next few years, the Ontario government developed legally defined standards for the operation of the Board.
So, "Not a Love Story" was not banned – it was never reviewed. But it did form part of a court case that led to significant changes at the Board. And while all this was going on in Ontario, "Not a Love Story" was a popular draw at a downtown theatre in Montreal – the hottest show on the strip for folks who missed the point the film was trying to make.
As good a review as any is at Canuxploitation. Of course, the OFRB ban myth is there too…

Ashes Cricket
Ashes Cricket Coming This November
Nice, Gary.
By Luke Reilly
Updated: 19 Sep 2017 7:40 am
Posted: 19 Sep 2017 7:03 am
Melbourne-based sports game studio Big Ant has revealed Ashes Cricket, developed in collaboration with Cricket Australia and promising to be the "most realistic and authentic recreation of the sport ever."
Following last year's licensed Big Bash 2016 game, which was mobile-only, Ashes Cricket will be Big Ant's first licensed cricket game for PC and consoles. It will feature fully licensed stadiums, as well as all the real players from the men's and women's Australian and English cricket teams.
Big Ant's previous cricket games – the popular Don Bradman Cricket and Don Bradman Cricket 17 – do not contain licensed players or stadia and rely instead on their wide range of customisation tools that allow users to create and share real life players, equipment, kits, and cricket grounds. Ashes Cricket will still feature the player, stadium, and logo creators, and we'll also be able to create competitions, tours, and match types.
On top of this, Ashes Cricket will feature a "comprehensive career mode" that will allow us to take a custom cricketer from junior grades all the way up to captaining their country through an Ashes series.
Cricket Australia CEO James Sutherland said the decision to partner with Big Ant has come from a desire to reach fans in new ways.
"Cricket Australia's new strategy recognises the growing role that gaming can play in reaching younger fans, and by working with the likes of Big Ant to develop products that meet this need we are positioning ourselves as leaders in the cricket gaming space globally," said Sutherland in a statement. "The anticipation for the summer of cricket is building and this game will give our fans another way to be a part of the cricket excitement."
The last licensed Ashes game was Ashes Cricket 2013. It was developed by Trickstar Games (also based in Melbourne, Australia) but was so irredeemably terrible it was comically cancelled after it had been released (it was quietly released on Steam in November 2013 but yanked down just four days later). For the Ashes license to now find itself in Big Ant's hands is an interesting turn of events considering Big Ant CEO Ross Symons previously accused Trickstar of trying to derail the development of the original Don Bradman Cricket several years ago, prior to the release of Trickstar's doomed Ashes Cricket 2013.
Luke is Games Editor at IGN's Sydney office and reckons Cricket Australia would be mad not to have Big Ant squeeze the Big Bash into this. You can find him on Twitter @MrLukeReilly.

We have followed the growth of Rome from its seed in the cradle of Romulus and Remus to its early maturity in the conquest of Italy, Its triumph over the Latins, Samnites, and Etruscans had made it virtually master of that peninsula. In the year 280 B.C. it was first called upon to meet a great foreign soldier in the celebrated Pyrrhus of Epirus, who had invaded Italy. How this great soldier scared the Romans with his elephants and defeated them in the field, but was finally baffled and left the country in disgust, we have told in "Historical Tales of Greece." It was not many years after this that Rome herself went abroad in search of now foes, and her long and bitter struggle with Carthage began.
The great city of Carthage lay on the African side of the Mediterranean, where it had won for itself a great empire, and had added to its dominion by important conquests in Spain and Sicily. Settled many centuries before by emigrants from the Phœnician city of Tyre, it had, like its mother city, grown rich through commerce, and was now lord of the Mediterranean and one of the great cities of the earth. With this city Rome was now to begin a mighty struggle, which would last for many years and end in the utter destruction of the great African city and state.
Pyrrhus of Epirus, on leaving Sicily, had said, "What a grand arena this would be for Rome and Carthage to contend upon!" And it was in the island of Sicily that the struggle between these two mighty powers began. In the year 264 B.C., nearly five centuries after the founding of Rome, that city first sent its armies beyond the borders of Italy, and the long contest between Rome and Carthage was inaugurated.
Some soldiers of fortune, who had invaded Sicily and found themselves in trouble, called upon Rome for help. Carthage, which held much of the island, was also appealed to, and both sent armies. The result was a collision between these armies. In two years' time most of Sicily belonged to Rome, and Carthage retained hardly a foothold upon that island.
This rapid success of the Romans in foreign conquest encouraged them greatly. But they were soon to find themselves at a disadvantage. Being an inland power, they knew nothing of ocean warfare, and possessed none but small ships. Carthage, on the contrary, had a large and powerful fleet, and now began to use it with great effect. By its aid the Carthaginians took from Rome many towns on the coast of Sicily. They also landed on and ravaged the coasts of Italy. It was made evident to the Roman senate that if they looked for success they must meet the enemy on their own element, and dispute with Carthage the dominion of the sea.
How was this to be done? The largest ships they knew of had only three banks of oars. Carthage possessed war vessels with five banks of oars, and built on a plan different from that of the smaller vessels. Rome had no model for these ships, and was at a loss what to do. Fortunately a Carthaginian quinquereme (a ship with five banks of oars) ran ashore on the coast of Italy, and was captured and sent to Rome. This served as a model for the shipwrights of that city, and so energetically did they set to work that in two months after the first cutting of the timber they had built and launched more than a hundred ships of this class.
And while the ships were building the crews selected for the quinqueremes were practising. Most of them had never even seen an oar, and they were now placed on benches ashore, ranged like those in the ships, and carefully taught the movements of rowing, so that when the ships were launched they were quite ready to drive them through the waves. The Romans, who could fight best hand to hand, added a new and important device, providing their ships with wooden bridges attached to the masts, and ready to fall on an enemy's vessel whenever one came near. A great spike at the end was driven into the deck of the enemy's ship by the weight of the falling bridge, and held her while the Romans charged across the bridge.
The new fleet was soon tried. It met a Carthaginian fleet on the north coast of Sicily. The Romans proved poor sailors, but the bridges gave them the victory. These could be wheeled round the mast and dropped in any direction, and, however the Carthaginians approached, they found themselves grappled and boarded by the Romans, whose formidable swords soon did the rest. In the end Carthage lost fifty ships and ten thousand men and with them the dominion of the seas.
This success was a great event in the history of Rome. The victory was celebrated by a great naval triumph, and a column was set up in the Forum, which was adorned with the ornamental prows of ships.
Three years afterwards Rome resolved to carry the war into Africa, and for this purpose built a great fleet of three hundred and thirty ships, and manned by one hundred and forty thousand seamen, in addition to its soldiers or fighting men. These were largely made up of prisoners from Sardinia and Corsica, Carthaginian islands which had been attacked by the Roman fleets. The two consuls in command were L. Manlius Vulso and M. Atilius Regulus.
The great fleet of Rome met a still greater Carthaginian one at Ecnomus on the southern coast of Sicily, and here one of the greatest sea-fights of history took place. In the end the Romans lost twenty-four ships, while of those of the enemy thirty were sunk and sixty-four captured. The remainder of the enemy's fleet fled in all haste to Carthage.
The Romans now prepared to take one of the greatest steps in their history,—to cross the sea to the unknown African world. The soldiers murmured loudly at this. They were to be taken to a new and strange land, burnt by scorching heats and Infested with noisome beasts and monstrous serpents; and they were to be led into the very stronghold of the enemy, where they would be at their mercy. Even one of their tribunes supported the soldiers in this complaint. But Regulus was equal to the occasion: he threatened the tribune with death, forced the soldiers on board, and sailed for the African coast.
The event proved very different from what the soldiers had feared. The army of Carthage was so miserably commanded that the Romans landed without trouble and ravaged the country at their will; and instead of the scorching heats and deadly animals they had feared, they found themselves in a fertile and thickly-settled country, where grew rich harvests of corn, and where were broad vineyards and fruitful orchards of figs and olives. Towns were numerous, and villas of wealthy citizens covered the hills.
On this rich and undefended country the hungry Roman army was let loose. Villas were plundered and burnt, horses and cattle driven off in vast numbers, and twenty thousand persons, many of them doubtless of wealth and rank, were carried away to be sold as slaves. Meanwhile the army of Carthage lurked on the hills, and was defeated wherever encountered. Regulus, who had been left in sole command of the Roman army, overran the country without opposition, and boasted that he had taken and plundered more than three hundred walled towns or villages.
The Carthaginians, who were also attacked by roving desert tribes, who proved even worse than the Romans, were in distress, and begged for peace. But the terms offered by Regulus were so intolerable that it was impossible to accept them. "Men who are good for anything should either conquer or submit to their betters," said Regulus, haughtily. He had not yet learned how unwise it is to drive a strong foe to desperation, and was to pay dearly for his arrogance and pride.
The tide of war turned when Carthage obtained a general fit to command an army. An officer who had been sent to Greece for soldiers of fortune brought with him on his return a Spartan named Xanthippus, a man who had been trained in the rigid Spartan discipline and had played his part well in the wars of Greece. He openly and strongly condemned the conduct of the generals of Carthage; and, on his words being reported to the government, he was sent for, and so clearly pointed out the causes of the late disasters that the direction of all the forces of Carthage was placed in his hands.
And now a new spirit awakened in Carthage. Xanthippus reviewed the troops, taught them how they should meet the Roman charge, and filled them with such enthusiasm and hope that loud shouts broke from the ranks, and they eagerly demanded to be led at once to battle.
The army numbered only twelve thousand foot, but had four thousand cavalry and a hundred elephants, in which much confidence was placed. The demand of the soldiers was complied with; they boldly marched out, and now no longer to the hills, but to the lower ground, where the devastation of the enemy was at once checked.
Regulus was forced to risk a battle, for his supply of food was in peril. He marched out and encamped within a mile of the foe. The Carthaginian generals, on seeing these hardy Roman legions, so long victorious, were stricken with something like panic. But the soldiers were eager to fight, and Xanthippus bade the wavering generals not to lose so precious an opportunity. They yielded, and bade him to draw up the army on his own plan.
In the battle that ensued the victory was due to the cavalry and elephants. The cavalry drove that of Italy from the field, and attacked the Roman rear. The elephants broke through the Roman lines in front, furiously trampling the bravest underfoot. Those who penetrated the line of the elephants were cut to pieces by the Carthaginian infantry. Of the whole Roman army, two thousand of the left wing alone escaped; Regulus, with five hundred others, fled, but was pursued and taken prisoner; the remainder of the army was destroyed to a man. The defeat was total. Rome retained but a single African port, which was soon given up. Xanthippus, crowned with glory and richly rewarded, returned to Greece to enjoy the fame he had won.
For five years Regulus remained a prisoner in Carthage, while the war went on in Sicily. Here, in the year 250 B.C., the Romans gained an important victory at Panormus (now Palermo), and Carthage, weary of the struggle, sent to Rome to ask for terms of peace. With the ambassadors came Regulus, who had promised to return to Carthage if the negotiations should fail, and whom the Carthaginians naturally expected to use his utmost influence in favor of peace.
They did not know their man. Regulus proved himself one of those indomitable patriots of whom there are few examples in the ages. On reaching the walls of Rome he refused at first to enter, saying that he was no longer a citizen, and had lost his rights in that city. When the ambassadors of Carthage had offered their proposal to the senate, Regulus, who had remained silent, was ordered by the senate to give his opinion of the proposed treaty. Thus commanded, he astonished all who heard by strongly advising the senate not to make the treaty. He might die for his words, he might perish in torture, but the good of his country was dearer to him than his own life, and he would not counsel a treaty that might prove of advantage to the enemy. He even spoke against an exchange of prisoners, saying that he had not long to live, having, he believed, been given a secret poison by his captors, and would not make a fair exchange for a hale and hearty Carthaginian general.
Such an instance of self-abnegation has rarely been heard of in history. It has made Regulus famous for all time. His advice was taken, the treaty was refused; he, refusing to break his parole, or even to see his family, returned to Carthage with the ambassadors, knowing that he was going to his death. The rulers of that city, so it is said, furious that the treaty had been rejected through his advice, resolved to revenge themselves on him by horrible tortures. His eyelids were cut off, and be was exposed to the full glare of the African sun. He was then placed in a cask driven full of nails, and left there to die.
It is fortunate to be able to say that there is no historical warrant for this story of torture, or for the companion story that the wife and son of Regulus treated two Carthaginian prisoners in the same manner. We have reason to believe that it is untrue, and that Regulus suffered no worse tortures than those of shame, exile, and imprisonment.

Thanks to my friend Cloister I came across a Facebook app which creates a collage from the past year's status updates. So I created two - the first one sticking with FB's randomly selected updates, the second with more input from me.
In these collages are home-brewing, a summer of glorious sport and a frozen shoulder... rain, snow, even the odd bit of sunshine... a workshop with the CSNs, the end of the Mayan calendar and various snapshots of life as an RSCJ, in Oxford and here at our house in Norham Gardens.
Of course, what have been left out are the status updates where I have posted links, especially ones to this blog. Some of those status updates are picked up in my blog: the Cornmarket Hallelujah, the Olympics, food, feasts, sunshine and rain - they're all in here! In addition, it has been a year of reading Paul's epistles each month and becoming increasingly enthralled with this whole writing/blogging thing. I'm leaving Paul for now, but hope my delight in writing continues and develops in 2013.


Is there any model for completing a web-based form where you show the data the user has previously entered, as well as the form fields with the current values? I'm working with another developer on this, and I don't know where he came up with this idea; speaking for myself, I've never come across such a pattern on the web.
For instance; suppose State, City, and Zip Code were all fields on the form. Some values are pre-populated when the initial data is imported behind the scenes, others are not; either way, a data entry person then validated/edits the form fields.
The only gain I see from this is that you know if you enter a different value, it's not what the original value was. But even so, the way this system works, these "original values" are the previously entered values, not even the original import values.
Is this a suitable method to have implemented into such a form, or does this sound like a bad idea? To me, it over-complicates the interface.
Most browsers have an "Undo" functionality, so I would simply rely on that. If a user wants to see what a field had before they started editing, they can simply Undo a bunch, take a look, and then Redo from there if they want to get back to what they had just done.
Google Chrome does essentially this. Once you type in the first letter, which for me is an 'M', it will auto-fill the entire form and ask me if I want to keep it. This is a fantastic feature and the main reason I switched over to Chrome.
That will add unnecessary clutter to the interface.
If you want to show the current value during editing, you simply need to switch the form to inline editing (i.e. combine read & edit views into one by populating editable fields with existing data). Many (most?) web services, such as Twitter and Facebook to some extent, already do it. Take a look at the answers to the question Should edit details form be in a modal dialog or directly on the page? for more detailed explanations.

Welcome to the Makin'Waves Selkirk Rex webpage!
For general information on the sweet, curly-coated cat breed called Selkirk Rex see The International Cat Association (TICA) breed description (link opens page for Selkirk Rex Shorthairs, there is also a separate page for the Longhairs).
MakinWaves Selkirk Rex basically centers around RW OS SGC Lamancha Kokomo of MakinWaves, aka "Momo", his girlfriends and offspring. Momo is now retired from breeding (neutered) and living a lazy life with me, one of his daughters (Lacey) and my old Bengal girl, Luna.
Lacey is a daughter of Momo and Baby, from the litter born at my house, Jan 2016. She is a straight-hair Selkirk, meaning she did not inherit the curly hair gene. Genetically she is a black silver spotted torbie (tabby with red), and white. She's not eligible to show in championship class but I may show her once in awhile in the HHP (household pet) category at TICA shows. But she basically is just a companion for Momo and me, when she's not taunting him.
Violet is also a daughter out of Momo and Baby, born in the litter at my house. She is a curly lilac torbie (meaning tabby with red) Selkirk. She currently lives with my friend Susan Senser who plans to show her a bit and make some curly babies.
Baby came to live with me for about a year and produced an amazing litter with Momo before she went back to her breeder Lucy Robinson again bred to Momo where she had a second amazing litter. See the gallery page for photos of some of the gorgeous offspring these two wonderful Selkirk produced. These litters contributed to making Momo TICA's first Selkirk Outstanding Sire and Baby the first Selkirk Outstanding Dam.
Teddy is owned and shown in alter class by Angie Aarhus in ACFA. Teddy was from my first litter of Selkirk (first of a grand total of two!), out of CH Curlybears Sassique. He is simply stunning. I loved his gorgeous cream curls but knew I didn't have the patience to groom a longhair coat and Teddy went to old friend Lynn Landers Dickinson for a few litters before he retired and went to her friend Angie.
A female blue/cream and white, shorthair curly Selkirk Rex. Gorgeous Katie was owned by my friend Janice Tyler had one gorgeous litter of kittens with Teddy then she was retired, living as a loved pet of her son.
Sassique was my second Selkirk girl and the first I had kittens with. She came from long-time CFA Selkirk breeder and friend Bobbie Squires and she and Momo had a really wonderful litter (including Teddy). Sassique is retired and living a spoiled life with Susan E. in San Diego.

On the market again: the designed-it-himself 1959 home of Ralph Anderson (who worked on the Astrodome, as well as the retooled brutalist building now occupied by the Houston Chronicle). The home is iced on its Banks St. side in cream-colored patterned concrete and contains an airy courtyard center; the latest asking price is $839,000, down from $875,000 last spring. The property was a stop on houstonMod's May Mod of the Month tour, which took place yesterday afternoon.
An uncovered courtyard is the centerpiece of this former home of Astrodome and ex-Houston Post building architect Ralph Anderson, who designed the 1,805-sq.-ft. space and lived there leading up to his death in 1990. The 2-bedroom 2-bath house features floor-to-ceiling windows and brick floors arrayed around the central atrium, which held a large tree until early last year. The 1959 home, now housing a much smaller tree in a courtyard planter, went on the market a week and a half ago at $875,000.
Diehard Modernist architect Charles Gwathmey, dubbed one of the "New York Five" (along with Peter Eisenman, Michael Graves, Richard Meier, and John Hejduk) in the early 1970s, passed away yesterday in Manhattan of esophageal cancer. Gwathmey, who was 71, was probably most famous for his addition to Frank Lloyd Wright's Guggenheim Museum, which his firm, Gwathmey Siegel & Associates Architects, completed in 1992.
Gwathmey-Siegel was no stranger to Houston. In the late seventies and early eighties, the firm designed a series of 4 spec office buildings that line the south side of this city's North Belt, just southeast of the Greenspoint Mall.
A house in Houston can't earn much more of a modern Texas pedigree than this: Designed in 1970 for Oveta Culp Hobby by quintessential Texas architect O'Neil Ford. Built by Brown & Root. Later, the home—until his death earlier this summer—of former Texas secretary of state, attorney general, chief justice, and 1978 Democratic gubernatorial candidate John Hill.
It's just been listed with Greenwood-King agent Colleen Sherlock: three stories, five to seven bedrooms, five full and two half-baths, 8275 square feet on a quarter-acre lot in River Oaks. Asking only $2,395,000.
From O'Neil Ford, you'd expect a classic Texas modern design: clean brick lines with a sense of history, an easy flow between indoors and out. Until you get inside, where—it appears—an early-1960s interpretation of a New England colonial interior has somehow been grafted in.
Sound like a jarring contrast? Continue after the jump, and see for yourself.


Exploring intersecting identity categories, this session will bring together research on queer religious young people in an international perspective in order to explore the ways in which young people's religious and sexual identities overlap and intersect. Often religion and sexual diversity is seen as inherently oppositional; however, a number of research projects exploring the relationship between religious and queer identities have dispelled such assumptions and offer insights into the ways young people negotiate diverse identity constructions. This session aims to build bridges geographically and methodologically by bringing together current research on this topic. It also aims to build bridges across academic disciplines in order to promote a constructive dialogue between them, to exchange research insights, and to stimulate the exploration of new research avenues.
We welcome paper proposals to this session. In line with the conference theme, we are particularly interested in developing a session that offers a breadth of geographical research, with diverse religious/sexual identities and diverse methodologies represented.

Proposed Willard College Internationalizing Satellite Campus in Costa del Tuyú is Temporarily Suspended Pending Resolution of Legal Technicalities
Dear Board of Trustees, As per your recent directive, Willard College was searching out a suitable location to develop a Willard College Internationalizing Satellite Campus. Our goals were three-fold. First, to be able to access fee paying students who may be interested in the "Willard Experience" but who do not wish to travel to or live in the traditional Willard College setting. Second, we wished to have a place to redirect Willard College students who may have required temporary relocation because of judicial or behavioral issues that are beyond the capacity of our overstretched Campus Public Safety officers. Third, this remote campus might serve as a convenient locale for the College's alternative banking interests. As you will recall, the College often has found that traditional banking outlets do not afford us the required flexibility to manage assets in innovative or creative ways.
Costa del Tuyú was recently ranked "the best beach community in Argentina, South America" by leaders in the travel and leisure industry. The community boasts a world-renowned summer music festival, excellent shops and restaurants, an efficient municipal government, and other services and amenities.
Sadly, recent events have forced us to temporarily suspend pending resolution of legal technicalities.
Sincerely, The Subcommittee on Legal Affairs of the Board of Trustees [name withheld]
Confidential Memorandum: President Cotton and Dr. Cheryl Tina Faye Cotton Arrested in Costa del Tuyú, Argentina
Dear Board of Trustees,
I regret to inform you that Willard College is facing a scandal of international proportions. As you know, President Cotton and his wife Dr. Cheryl Tina Faye Cotton were visiting Costa del Tuyu as part of a fact finding mission to determine the suitability of this location for an International Satellite Campus of Willard College. (You will recall that the Australian satellite campus burned down several years ago).
On their first night in Costa de Tuyu, both Cottons were arrested in separate incidents. Apparently, the two were seen arguing at one of the most exclusive restaurants in the beach community. About a half hour later, Cheryl Tina Faye Cotton was apprehended and charged with shoplifting at an exclusive gift shop near the water front. Costa del Tuyú city officials also have reported that she has been charged additionally with resisting arrest, blasphemy, public scandal, and an assortment of other charges that our legal team, in consultation with the remnants of the Willard College Foreign Modern Languages Department, is trying to translate into American.
Roughly at the same time of this arrest, President Cotton entered the exclusive Bangladesh Discoteca. After drinking heavily and dancing, President Cotton removed all of his clothing and exited the establishment with two bottles of Genever Gin Bols. Subsequent to his arrest, Costa del Tuyú police charged President Cotton with public indecency, public intoxication, public nudity within 100 meters of a house of worship, a public school, and a convent, resisting arrest, as well as a number of other charges that are also being translated from Spanish by the Willard College Foreign Modern Languages Department.
We are in close contact with the municipal government of Costa del Tuyú and hope to have both individuals quickly released and returned safely to Willard College. Please refrain from sharing this information as it is confidential and a matter that has no bearing on the operation of our college.

Willard College Plans for Flexfaculty Illegal Strike
Willard College is preparing for a possible strike by its highly valued Flexfaculty. The remaining full time faculty have been asked to fill in for absent FlexFaculty. A schedule is being created to streamline the process of consolidating individual classes. We are using the alphabet as your guide. For example, departments that begin with "A-E" will be consolidated. This means that an Anthropology professor may be asked to cover for a FlexFaculty striking in Biology, Chemistry, and/or English. Where possible, two or three separate classes will be run simultaneously with a single non-striking faculty. Compliant faculty will be awarded free lunch at Willard College's last functioning cafeteria. Compliants will be asked to complete the required assessment materials for all classes instructed.
Not for Distribution: Future former Attorney General Jefferson Beauregard Sessions considers offer to head up the Willard College Office of Legal Affairs
Dear Willard College Administrators,
We are in preliminary stages of negotiations to bring future former Attorney General Sessions to head up our Office of Legal Affairs. He tells us that he is currently considering a variety of career moves but that Willard College is in his top five. He mentioned how Willard College aligns closely with most strongly held values. Also, a reminder: this memo is being distributed in strict confidence. DO NOT SHARE OR DISTRIBUTE.

Whether your child is 2 years old or 12 years old, the food that you provide in their lunchbox matters. A lot. You care about your child and want them to eat well and thrive, so here's a good start (with plenty more to come) to assist you with making the best choices.
What makes a lunchbox healthy?
A healthy lunchbox contains a good variety of nutritious wholefoods and avoids processed and packaged foods, to meet the energy and nutrient needs of growing, active children. Offering balanced meals and snacks, majority prepared at home, is the key to providing a nutritious variety; and always offering water as their main fluid.
Balanced meals and snack selections provide servings of each of these important macronutrients; protein, lipids (fats) and carbohydrates.
Processed and packaged foods are often higher in sugar and contain a lot of unhealthy fats, preservatives, additives and generally offer little to no nutrients. These include all lollies and soft drinks (sodas), most packaged fruit juices and tinned fruits, packeted chips/ crisps, packaged cakes, pastry items and cookies, many sauces, and most flavoured yoghurts, milk drinks and processed chesses.
Focus on including a balanced variety of wholefoods and alternating them throughout the week to ensure that you provide children with nutritious choices, and lessen the chance of children getting bored/tired with meals.

Black Business Association of Oregon Fights 'Invisible Knee' to Economic Equity
Saundra Sorenson
After George Floyd's murder, amid months of protests and calls for police reform, some Black local business owners considered the conversations that weren't happening.
BBAO chair Alando Simpson"To us it was more about, at what point are people going to wake up to the fact that we live in capitalism? At what point are people going to take into consideration the fact that this man was sacrificed as a result of using a fake $20 bill, which directly relates to him not having financial means?" Alando Simpson, CEO of City of Roses Disposal and Recycling, told The Skanner. "Why does no one talk about capitalism, about Black economic prosperity? If we don't have financial means, how are we ever going to gain control, which is the conduit to liberty?"
Concerned that a powerful moment of outrage would amount to ambitious initiatives but ultimately little actual change, Simpson worked with Black board members of the Portland Business Alliance and the National Association of Minority Contractors-Oregon Chapter to form the Black Business Association of Oregon (BBAO).
"I come from that generation where we say, hey man, nothing wrong with marching and protesting, but we want to actually do something actionable that actually changes the narrative and changes the outcomes real-time," Nate McCoy, executive director of NAMC-Oregon and BBAO board member, told The Skanner. "The Black Business Association is really trying to create a foundation of having all of this analyses and data through dashboards, and really what we call a scoreboard. We're asking, are we really achieving these goals we say we want to make a dent in? Or are we just kind of talking about it and coming up with plans that really aren't addressing the root causes?"
'The Invisible Knee'
In June of 2020, Simpson and fellow Portland Business Alliance board members Sam Brooks, Janet Campbell, Andrew Colas and Charles Wilhoite released a statement called "'The Invisible Knee' - a call to action for economic equity."
"We know that George Floyd lost his life when a knee was held against his neck by Officer Derek Chauvin," they wrote. "It is the Invisible Knee, however, that has kept Black Americans from prospering: it is the unobservable forces that have prevented Black families from building, growing and sustaining generational wealth within the broader community."
"It couldn't have been a better time for us to stand up George Floyd in a way that not only acknowledges his graphic passing, but more importantly, how him being a martyr in that situation could be a catalyst to inspiring our next generation that their economic freedom is going to end up being their mental, spiritual, psychological, emotional freedom in the 21st century," Simpson told The Skanner.
From that, the group formulated the Black Economic Prosperity Agenda, a plan to activate public-private partnerships to promote the development, resiliency and prosperity of Black businesses throughout the state. Central to the initiative is a "regional dashboard of Black prosperity" to track the economic well-being of Black Oregonians.
Being Counted
In order to do that, BBAO had to launch something that did not previously exist: a database of Black-owned businesses in the state.
"Right now there is no list you can find in the whole state that really identifies where these businesses are at, where they reside, how they're doing," McCoy said.
"We have no temperature check on that."
"So the first order of business is to work with the state to figure out how we help in identifying these firms so that we can actually start working with them.
"It's kind of like the census. If you're not part of the census, it's hard to appropriate money to really support what is needed in various communities. It's the same for Black business. We need to be able to find them and show our state, our local and federal government that these people have this enormous amount of problems, here's where they are, here's what they're facing, this is why the money is needed so much to support what we're doing."
"There are a lot of data points we can lean on," Simpson said. "For everyone's aspirations of social equity, and everything we spend and invest in today, how is it that Blacks are still at $25,000 median family incomes? It doesn't make sense that the Black community is worth $12.50 an hour. That's the whole key, is to make sure that whatever business or service you're looking for, there will be a direct directory for you to lean on that will give you access to those entities."
BBAO is working with Craig Dawson of the Black Business Warehouse in Washington state to expand its Pacific Northwest directory of Black-owned businesses.
Just as important, Simpson said, was to make a financial case for supporting Black business development.
"How do we create a business case to Black liberty"
"(The group asked), What can the private sector do to create a model where we grow the economic prosperity of the Black community and, as it operates in capitalism, people receive a return on investment in doing so?" Simpson said. "How do we create a business case to Black liberty – financially – and how financial institutions, philanthropy, the wealthiest around, can actually receive financial benefit by liberating Black people economically? We need to create something that's sustainable so people continue to invest in, and we can continuously see change."
He believes group economics is key to uplifting the Black business community.
"When you practice group economics, you circulate that wealth and that's how you build a community," Simpson said. "So we went to the Portland Business Alliance, who we already worked with, and said hey, if there's any organization that's in a prime position to be able to promote the private sector in a way that uplifts, supports and liberates the Black community through ownership and entrepreneurship and wealth creation, this would be the organization."
Working with PBA, BBAO was able to raise $300,000 by the end of 2020.
"We raised funds from every layer of public agency: Prosper Portland, Multnomah County, Metro, the state of Oregon and its Black Caucus invested," Simpson said.
The successful fundraising allowed BBAO to hire Lance Randall as executive director in February 2022 after a nationwide search. Randall, formerly of the city of Seattle's Office of Economic Development, is originally from Macon, Georgia.
"He opened a new lens on this community, because he's not from here," McCoy said. "He's coming from a state like Georgia, where it's very Black-centric, to a place that's a bit more disjointed and disconnected and not as communal as it could be or should be."
"He's an economic development practitioner, which is rare in the Black community," Simpson said. "He knows what it's going to require for us to build economic stability and strength within the Black community, so that it can liberate itself and work collectively as one to be able to change the paradigm of conditions of Black individuals in this country. And that's really what this comes down to."
Centering The Future
Simpson and McCoy reported they were working with Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Oregon)'s office to secure federal appropriations. That funding will support a future center for Black economic advancement, McCoy said.
Though no property has yet been purchased, BBAO's vision is to incubate Black businesses and house resources for Black entrepreneurs in one location.
"We're working right as we speak to figure out some pieces of property that we might want to consider expanding and bringing what we would call 'the village' together," McCoy said. "It would be a full suite of services and wraparound support for anything that could be an opportunity or it could be a hurdle for a business to be successful. For example, Is a business financially sound? Are the individuals within that business healthy, meaning trauma and mental health and stress and anxiety? It's about having a place where people can come and be in peer-to-peer settings where they're working alongside other businesses at their level, as well as businesses at a higher level, in a way that also brings business and workforce development together too."
He added, "We see having different organizations with satellite offices, where schools get a chance to come and see already established Black and brown businesses that they can touch – the model of 'if you can see it you can be it.'"

Arizona is trying to keep up with Colorado in the west, and would like to win game 4 of series. They're 3.5 games back, and are struggling. The Rockies are playing well, especially at home, and find them selves 1.5 games ahead of Dodgers. This is a tight race between the 3 teams, and with the Central being so strong, its possible only one team comes out of this division.
Arizona 's bats are cold and they're struggling. They've lost 9 of 12 games, and need wins badly. The season is coming to an end, and it would be a shame for them not to make playoffs. Their starting pitchers are great, with Grienke leading the pack. Hes been in poor form of late, and a big part of their struggles. They're 4 games back of wildcard, and need to turn it up now if they have a shot at post season. Buckholtz will pitch today.
10 runs for today's game.


Nebraska's newest quarterback commit, Adrian Martinez, was still recovering from shoulder surgery when his school's season kicked off. He knew he wouldn't play, and at that moment, a star player like him could go in one of two directions. He could sulk, or he could find a new role.
Fresno (Calif.) Clovis West coach George Petrissans saw Martinez choose the latter. He couldn't play quarterback, so he served as a kind of player-coach. He didn't miss a morning workout or an evening practice. Martinez's spectacular junior season — when he amassed 3,869 total yards and 41 total touchdowns — had already guaranteed him a scholarship at a top school, but he didn't coast.
And that, Petrissans said, might be the most impressive thing about the 6-foot-2, 200-pounder.
"He's as good of a player as I've ever coached, and as good of an athlete as he is, he's an even better person," Petrissans said.
Martinez — a consensus four-star prospect who's a top-100 recruit according to ESPN — is now a Husker, flipping from Tennessee to Nebraska. He committed to new head coach Scott Frost and quarterbacks coach Mario Verduzco on Tuesday night when they made their cross-country flight to Fresno for an in-home visit.
Martinez said Frost "is a real player's coach" and did the right thing by choosing to coach his former team, Central Florida, in the Peach Bowl.
He'll sign Dec. 20, enroll early at NU and try to win the starting job in spring camp. Martinez expects to play in the Under Armour All-American game Jan. 4, and Petrissans said Martinez wanted to play for Clovis toward the end of his senior season.
Doctors told him to hold off. He'll come to Nebraska healthy and ready to play for Verduzco, the key piece in NU's recruiting pitch. Although Martinez was bound for a Power Five school after his junior season, Verduzco, then at Central Florida working for Frost, nevertheless built a relationship with Martinez. They talked all the finer points of football, including mechanics.
Just hours after UCF won the American Athletic Conference title game, Verduzco called Martinez with a scholarship offer to Nebraska. Martinez, committed to a then-coachless Tennessee at the time, was immediately interested. He made an official visit Dec. 8. He hosted UT's new head coach Jeremy Pruitt, on Monday. Frost and Verduzco were there Tuesday.
Martinez said he'd have a decision "within the week." He did.
Petrissans said Martinez is a true dual-threat to run or pass.
He started two seasons as Clovis West — earning his spurs as a sophomore when he beat out a popular senior. Martinez won over his teammates with excellent play. As a junior, he won over scouts. ESPN rates Martinez as the nation's No. 56 overall prospect. The 247Sports composite rates Martinez the No. 142 player in the nation, while Rivals has him at No. 167. That puts Martinez in comparable territory with recent highly-touted Husker quarterback recruits like Tristan Gebbia, Patrick O'Brien, Cody Green and Johnny Stanton.
What services can't measure, Petrissans said, is Martinez's toughness.
Originally, coaches thought the labrum injury was suffered during last basketball season. But Petrissans remembers Martinez getting hurt late in his junior season. For a week after that game, Martinez couldn't throw, but he still played basketball with the injury, and once he knew he couldn't further injure it, he kept playing hoops until the surgery.
Serving as a player-coach for Clovis West, Martinez helped younger quarterbacks guide the team to a 9-3 record, its best since 2010. Late in the season, Martinez was about 90 percent, and pushed to play.
By holding off, Martinez gives himself a better chance to play quickly at NU, where Verduzco — who transformed UCF's McKenzie Milton into one of the nation's best quarterbacks — will develop him.
The whirlwind romance for Nebraska's 2018 quarterback recruit is complete. Martinez knows the fan base is excited.
