This is the favela chic version of the SchoolToolBox I've been working on to demo using SMS text messages as a data bus to send school data from the hinterlands back to the Ministry of Education (or whatever) when you don't have landlines (and probably never will).
So it is a SheevaPlug (via Tonido), with a little four-port USB hub stuck on one side (this should be less necessary as newer versions sprout more ports) with a USB stick for extra data storage. Velcro-ed to the other side is an old Nokia 6021, a model I picked out because it seemed to be highly compatible with Linux. The phone is connected to the plug server via USB, and it is also plugged into the same extension cord as the server. Finally, there's an ethernet cable also ostensibly connecting the server to the school's LAN, or at least a computer with a web browser.
I got the phone on eBay and wondered why it was taking so long to get here; when I checked the auction I realized I'd bought it from someone in Israel! So shipping took an extra ten days or so, and it has nice Hebrew letters (and English) on the keypad (and in a few left over messages and contacts). When I put my T-Mobile SIM card in, I had to do some crazy unlock code hacking, but got that to work before I bricked the phone.
Now I just have to get the blasted thing to talk to my computer, particularly before the Rhode Island Mini Maker Faire at the end of the month, where I've committed myself to demo-ing it. At the moment I seem to be stuck with the wrong version of the data cable for the phone (doesn't work under Linux or Windows), or perhaps just an overly cheap knockoff, so I'm waiting for what will hopefully be an official Nokia CA-42 cable that will solve all my problems.
In the meantime, bluetooth on the phone seems to be broken, it just doesn't turn on when you select it in the phone menu, but I can control the phone over the good old infra-red irda port using Gammu. So that's something, although not actually practical for sending and receiving data from a server.

Restore your confidence and get back your smile with our new patented Temporary Tooth Kit. Unlike the alternatives on the market, this kit actually contains ten various sized simulated teeth all molded in the shape of real teeth. Simply select a tooth, remove it from the set, add the fitting material and then insert it where your missing tooth is! You can replace any missing tooth in less than 5 minutes with an actual realistic looking molded temporary tooth. Many other tooth replacement kits only come with beads that you have to form into the shape of a tooth. Many times the beads stain very quickly and need to be replaced often because they become discolored. With our patented Tooth Kit, the temporary tooth does not stain so you don't need to keep purchasing more material because the tooth becomes too discolored. You can wear the same tooth as long as you need to! No product out there has a track record like Instant Smile Teeth does. For more than ten years, our company has given millions a secure smile!
The Only Temporary Tooth Molded in the Shape of an Actual Tooth!
Bonus Bag of Impression Material Included! Safe and tested to cosmetic standards.
Works for a missing upper or lower tooth! Easy to fit in just minutes!
Patented! The Most Realistic Temporary Replacement Tooth Available.
No Need to Mold Fitting Beads into the Shape of a Tooth! You get the teeth too!

Breast Physics Are Back in Dead or Alive 6, But They Will Be More Realistic; Check the Latest Build Out
Giuseppe Nelva
August 24, 2018 6:05 PM EST
NewsXbox OnePS4PC
The build of Dead or Alive 6 showcased behind closed doors at Gamescom marked the return of breast physics, but in a more realistic fashion.
Dead or Alive 6 generated a lot of discussion about its implementation (or lack of thereof) of breast physics, which are pretty much a staple of the series, and are normally present in many fighting games in general. Early reports from multiple outlets mentioned that they were gone, but Producer and Director Yohei Shimbori then mentioned that they wouldn't be entirely removed.
Dead or Alive 6 — Kasumi Will Still Have Her Iconic Costume; Devs Clarify Jiggle Physics Aren't Gone
At Gamescom in Cologne, I met with Shimbori-san and asked him what's up with this, so instead of going into an explanation, he opted to show me. The result is the video that you can see at the bottom of the post.
Shimbori-san explained that this is a build still in development, but breast physics have not been removed, and movement is indeed there. In Dead or Alive 5 breast physics were very exaggerated, and for Dead or Alive 6, the development team is aiming to achieve more realistic physical effects.
As we already know, the Soft Engine isn't being used for this game and has been replaced with a new one that is being developed at Koei Tecmo. Yet, since it's still in development, it's not ready for general showing. Gameplay is being showcased just to show the progress being made.
The Soft Engine is being replaced because it was old, and the new engine doesn't yet have a name. The development team is working very hard on it.
It's also relevant to mention that not all costumes will have the same degree of physical movement. For instance, Kasumi's new battle suit is very hard, so it doesn't allow for visible movements. Hitomi's Karate gi is also interesting, because it does involve a degree of movement, but it's restrained by the top. That same top is actually worn by real Karate practitioners exactly to prevent the hindrance of excessive movement.
That being said, realistic body motions, which were shown for the first time in the Gamescom build, are currently still in development.
Without further ado, you can check out the video below. Incidentally, apologies for the lack of the original audio. There were issues with recording, and none of our DOA6 footage has any sound. This is also a first look at the PC version of the game.

Practices with NPPs Perform Better Financially
In the last 15 years, medical practices have increased the use of nonphysician providers in an attempt to extend the reach of physicians, enhance revenue, and increase patient satisfaction.
In the last 15 years, medical practices have increased the use of nonphysician providers (NPPs) in an attempt to extend the reach of physicians, enhance revenue, and increase patient satisfaction.
The use of NPPs continues to be one way in which physician practices are trying to deliver care in a value-based environment. According to the Medical Group Management Association's report Nonphysician Provider Utilization in the Future of US Healthcare, organizations employing NPPs to enhance revenue can later reinvest the money back into the organization.
"Medical practices are evaluating the roles of staff and may be considering employing NPPs in their practice," Laura Palmer, MGMA senior industry analyst, said in a statement. "This staffing model is being implemented more frequently because it allows NPPs to work at the top of their licensure and ensures physicians more time to devote to complex cases. Staffing a practice in this way can improve access options for patients."
In multispecialty practices, the number of full-time equivalent (FTE) NPPs per FTE physician increased by 11% from 2008. In the past 5 years, cardiology, family medicine, and surgery practices have all reported increased use of NPPs.
According to the MGMA analysis, medical practices with NPPs typically perform better financially, possibly because the practice can increase its capacity to serve patients and enhance its access to providers.
"While it's encouraging to see that practices who invest in employing nonphysician providers benefit financially from such arrangements, medical groups are driven by the desire to serve patients and improve their satisfaction with their experience," Susan L. Turney, MD, MS, FACP, FACMPE, MGMA president and chief executive officer, said in a statement. "Being successful in a value-based environment will require practices to innovate and staff their organizations thoughtfully to ensure patients have access to their providers and are satisfied with their experience."

The Aftermath Of New York State's Extension Of Its Eviction And Foreclosure Moratoriums
Photo courtesy of Seattle PI
By Socrates Xanthopoulos
Roughly a year and a half after the start of the COVID-19, businesses, landlords and real estate groups across New York State are still feeling the burden and fallout of the statewide eviction and foreclosure moratoriums which took effect on March 16, 2020. Despite the Supreme Court of the United States ("SCOTUS"), in a groundbreaking 6-3 decision that partially lifted parts of New York State's moratorium, recently rejecting the federal moratorium on residential evictions previously imposed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (the "CDC"), New York State's legislature agreed earlier this month to extend its statewide eviction and foreclosure moratoriums through January 15, 2022 – however, despite the extension of the moratoriums themselves, the new law provides landlords of NY properties, as well as their lenders, with a mechanism to challenge tenants' assertions of financial hardship by reason of the COVID-19 pandemic. This article defines the specifics of New York State's eviction and foreclosure moratoriums and highlights the potential relief and silver linings that residential and commercial landlords (and lenders) may find in the new legislation.
New York State's moratoriums and its effect
On September 4, 2020, the CDC imposed a temporary, nationwide federal moratorium on residential evictions for nonpayment of rent. The CDC claimed its purpose of the order was to prevent the further spread of COVID-19, specifically by preventing homelessness and overcrowded housing conditions resulting from evictions. New York State followed the federal government's direction and on March 16, 2020, the Chief Administrative Judge of the Courts issued a memorandum suspending all eviction proceedings and then-pending eviction orders. Subsequently, on June 30, 2020, the Tenant Safe Harbor Act (S8192B) went into effect which prohibited courts from issuing a warrant of eviction or judgment of possession against a residential tenant for unpaid rent accrued during the "covered period" if the tenant could prove, in defense, that they experienced financial hardship due to COVID-19 during the covered period. However, under this law, a landlord could still request, and a judge could still enter a money judgment for the rent due the landlord, and the protection afford by said law did not extend to holdover cases involving tenants that remained in possession of their space beyond the end of their lease term.
While the moratorium provides sweeping protections for tenants, landlords and business owners across throughout New York continue to struggle with unpaid bills, outstanding taxes and past due loan payments with no steady income stream in sight. Since the legislation went into effect, more than 830,000 tenants in New York are in arrears on their rent obligations (owing at least $4,000, on average) – that translates into over $3 billion of debt and, in New York City alone, more than 60,000 eviction cases have been filed since the beginning of the pandemic, according to Princeton University's Eviction Lab. Landlord activists and their counsel argue that the ban is too broad and placed an "enormous burden" on landlords. The Rent Stabilization Association of New York City, a trade association for property owners, noted the process to avoid eviction was far too simple and, "[a]ll you had to do was check a box; in theory, it applied to millionaires and there were stories where tenants were using the law meant to protect vulnerable New Yorkers as a sword rather than a shield to take advantage of landlords."
SCOTUS Tackles the Moratorium
On August 12, 2021, in a lawsuit brought by the Rent Stabilization Association of NYC, landlords argued that the New York moratoriums were unlawful because the State, by interfering with landlords' property rights without giving them a say in the matter, was denying landlords due process of law. In support of that argument, these landlords stressed that renters were not required to prove they were actually in financial straits, nor were landlords allowed the opportunity to show that individual renters could actually afford to pay their rent. SCOTUS sided with the landlords and struck down part of New York's moratorium stating, "[i]f a tenant self-certifies financial hardship, Part A of CEEFPA generally precludes a landlord from contesting that certification and denies the landlord a hearing. This scheme violates the Court's longstanding teaching that ordinarily 'no man can be a judge in his own case' consistent with the Due Process Clause."
New York State's Response to SCOTUS' Ruling
After SCOTUS' ruling, New York lawmakers strategized on how to maintain protection for tenants moving forward. On September 1, 2021, New York State extended its eviction and foreclosure moratoriums, but in doing so, added a "due process" mechanism that allows landlords to challenge tenants' hardship claims in court. Essentially, the extension continues the structure of the moratoriums that were in place through August 31, 2021. Like before, the applicable hardship declaration form (whether commercial or residential) must be included with every written notice required to be served prior to the commencement of an eviction proceeding as well as with every initiating pleading served on a tenant. In order to commence an eviction proceeding, a landlord must file an affidavit of service demonstrating that it served a hardship declaration and attesting that either (1) at the time of the filing, the landlord did not receive a completed hardship declaration from the tenant, or (2) the tenant returned the completed hardship declaration but is intentionally damaging the property or engaging in behavior that substantially infringes on the use and enjoyment of other tenants or occupants or causes a substantial safety hazard to others, with a specific description of the behavior alleged.
In addition, the extension of the moratorium also entitled landlords to commence an eviction proceeding in cases where their tenant returned a hardship declaration that the landlord "believes in good faith that the hardship certified in the hardship declaration does not exist." Thus, a landlord can challenge a tenant's hardship declaration by making a motion on notice "attesting a good faith belief that the [tenant] has not experienced a hardship," whereupon "the court shall grant a hearing to determine whether to find the respondent's or defendant's hardship claim invalid." If the court finds the tenant's hardship claim: (i) valid after a hearing, the court shall grant or continue the stay through January 15, 2022, but judges who hold a residential tenant's hardship declaration to be valid are also directed to require said residential tenants to apply for assistance under the COVID-19 Emergency Rental Assistance Program; or (ii) invalid after a hearing, "the proceedings shall continue to a determination on the merits." Note that a similar due process mechanism was created for banks, lenders and other mortgage holders to challenge hardship declarations submitted by property owners to avoid foreclosure. While sentiments on the future of New York real estate may still be bleak in the eyes of many, others are hopeful that the State's willingness to provide some level of protections to landlords – such as the aforesaid due process mechanisms, for example – is a step in the right direction.
Relief for Commercial Landlords
Fortunately, some commercial landlords have been able to find relief and success in the court system despite the moratoriums limiting their ability to evict tenants. Avenues available to commercial landlords include the ability to terminate leases and seek court intervention to require payment of sums owed to them by their tenant for so long as the tenant remains in possession of the leased premises. Two (2) recent New York County Supreme Court rulings strengthened commercial landlords' power to fight back.
In Gramercy Park Partners, LLC v. GPH Ground Tenant LLC et al., (N.Y. 2021), a tenant defaulted under its lease, hadn't paid rent to the landlord since November 2020, failed to pay real property taxes owed to the City of New York, and refused to vacate or surrender the premises after the landlord terminated the lease. The court ruled in favor of the landlord and directed the tenant to pay the back rent owed to the landlord, pay all restate taxes on the premises and all outstanding real estate taxes due to the City of New York.
In The Gap, Inc. v. 170 Broadway Retail Owner, LLC, the New York Appellate Division, First Department, ruled in favor of a commercial landlord when it struck down a tenant's claims that the COVID-19 pandemic (i) should be treated as a casualty under the terms of its commercial lease and (ii) frustrated the purpose of its commercial lease. The court noted that a pandemic did not meet the definition of a "casualty" and thus, there was no lease provision breached by the parties to suffice as a successful breach of contract claim. In another cause of action, The Gap alleged that it was excused from paying the rent due under the lease because of its inability to use the premises as a retail store due to an unanticipated event that could not have been foreseen or guarded against in the lease. Similarly, the New York Appellate Division disagreed with this theory and rejected the claim because the tenant was not entirely deprived of the profits of its agreement. Further, the court noted that the mandatory closure was brief and not a legitimate factor by the time The Gap filed its complaint and thus, did not support their claim that it was impossible to perform under its lease.

Sustainable Asphalt Production
New Institute of Quarrying President's Global Vision
First published in the November 2021 issue of Quarry Management
Quick Q&A session with Rokbak managing director Paul Douglas, who began his career with the company more than 35 years ago
Why are you rebranding now?
Our company has been in business for more than 80 years, first under the Euclid name and then later under the Terex name. In 2014 we became part of the Volvo Group and since then we have continuously evolved across several areas of our business. Millions has been spent on improving our products, people, and processes. At our heart, we are keeping the same principles we've always maintained: being a solid and dependable partner to our customers and colleagues. But we've also been evolving and have a clear roadmap of where we want to go and who we want to be. Because of that, it's the right time for us to start an exciting new chapter in our history under the Rokbak brand.
Has anything changed about the company?
Our legacy is a huge part of who we are and it's something that will always be embedded in our DNA. In addition, as Rokbak, there will be four shared principles that shape the way we work:
Customer-focused: We work as hard for our customers as our machines work for them in the field.
Well-grounded: We are a no-nonsense, hard-working team who take nothing for granted and always aim to make life easier for our customers.
Specialists: We only make one thing – articulated haulers. There are no other distractions and we have decades of experience in what we do.
Responsible: We are not afraid to tackle big issues head on and are committed to building a more sustainable future in everything we do.
What does this mean for the future of the company?
Our new beginning as Rokbak represents an exciting new chapter in our history. While remaining true to our legacy, we will also focus on progressing the business in several key areas, including:
Products: We will continue to focus our design on products that add value to customers without the addition of unnecessary features. That means high-quality machines at a low cost of ownership from a company that has the stability of the Volvo Group behind it.
People: We have been investing substantially in the development of our people and our global dealer network. We want to ensure our teams remain in the field, helping our customers in person, supporting them and learning from first-hand experience.
Sustainability: As part of the Volvo Group, we are on a collective mission to create efficient and sustainable transport solutions. Going forward, corporate social responsibility will mean developing energy- and fuel-efficient products and minimizing the environmental impact of our operations.
Have changes been made to the product line?
With the switch to the Rokbak brand there are no fundamental changes to our current product designs. As Rokbak we will manufacture two units, the 28-tonne payload RA30 and the 38-tonne payload RA40. While both units will be manufactured with a new colour scheme and branding, they will be immediately familiar to customers in terms of design and performance.
Over the past seven years, however, we have made several improvements to our products. These include the addition of Stage V engines for improved fuel efficiency, a new transmission for the RA30 that delivers extended oil maintenance intervals, and the introduction of the Haul Track telematics system.
As we move into the future, we expect to see several other design improvements as we continue our mission to build the most robust and reliable machines on the market that deliver effective and productive performance on the jobsite.
Will you still be represented through the same dealer organization?
Our global dealer network is an extension of our company and will remain an important part of the Rokbak organization. In recent years we have added several new dealer partners to our global family, giving us an even closer and stronger connection to our customers. As we progress, we expect to grow and develop our dealer network further to ensure we deliver unbeatable customer service.
Will there be changes to personnel following the announcement?
There are no planned changes to the team as we begin our life as Rokbak. Many of the team have been with the company for a long time. The people at Rokbak are one of the fundamental pillars of our business and make us who we are. Our wish is to nurture our loyal team and continue to improve their skills through ongoing training and development that will keep their skill sets at the forefront of the industry.

Oskaloosa, Iowa – The questions about what a mentorship program would look like and what benefits it could bring to the community began to take shape at the beginning of 2017 when Oskaloosa City Council member Steve Burnett and Mahaska County United Way Director Amy Meyer had a conversation on the subject.
The two facilitated two public meetings on the subject in February and May of 2017, with how the program would be sponsored, what organization if any would be used, and lastly how it would be funded.
With that, a group of volunteers came forward to help direct the program into the next phase, which helped to lead the mentoring program to partner with Big Brothers and Big Sisters due to their proven methodology.
A fundraising event in October of 2017 also helped to raise awareness of the program, and the benefit was not only to the youth in the program but also to the mentors.
Robbyn Duchow was hired to administer the program, and the ribbon cutting took place in November of 2017.
As of July 2018, there are currently seven matches, and thirty people have volunteered to be a mentor, otherwise known as a 'Big'.
Duchow said that there is a need for more Big Brothers because the Brothers she currently has on the list aren't matching 'Little Brothers' interests.
The process of matching Bigs (mentors) and youth (littles) goes through a stringent and proven methodology developed during the time Big Brothers and Big Sisters has been around.
In Mahaska County, those matches started happening in March of 2018.
Duchow said there are five Little Brothers that are in need of a Big. Two Little Sisters are also looking for their Big.
"That's our first Little Brother who became a Big Brother," said Duchow.
When doing surveys of the youth entering the program, nearly three-quarters of all those over the age of twelve say they don't have a special adult in their lives that they spend time with.
The more volunteers that sign up for the program, the more opportunity there is for Littles to be matched with a Big.
The program will host its first group outing at Lake Keomah on July 28th. The purpose of the excursion is so Bigs and Littles get to see that it's not just them that are part of the program.
In October, Big Brothers and Big Sisters will be undergoing a rebranding. In years past, the program has talked about children facing adversity. The focus will now be that every child has potential. "When you're pairing off with a mentor, that's a pathway to potential. So it's not focusing so much on at-risk youth or adversity, but it's looking at all youth and how all youth could benefit from having a mentor that helps them reach that full potential," explained Duchow.

Two Greek soldiers return home after Turkey release
By AFP Aug 15, 2018 in World
Two Greek soldiers held in a Turkish prison for more than five months on espionage charges landed home early Wednesday, after a court ordered their release.
The two had been detained since March for illegally crossing the border in a case that has stoked tensions between Athens and Ankara.
Lieutenant Aggelos Mitretodis and Sergeant Dimitros Kouklatzis told prosecutors shortly after their arrest that they mistakenly crossed the border after getting lost in the fog.
The case added to a long list of troubles between Turkey and Greece which, though both NATO members since 1952, have tense relations.
On Tuesday, Turkish media reported that a court in Edirne region had ruled that the two soldiers would now be tried without being held in detention.
Greek officials promptly travelled by plane to Turkey to collect the soldiers.
The pair, dressed in their uniforms, arrived at Thessaloniki airport in the early hours of Wednesday morning, greeted by a guard of honour, Greek officials and their parents.
"I hope that their release will mark a new chapter for Greek-Turkish relations," Greek Defence Minister Panos Kammenos told reporters.
Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras welcomed the Turkish court's move as an "act of justice".
Their release will "contribute to a reinforcement of friendship, good neighbourliness and stability in the region," Tsipras said in a statement.
The court had previously refused several requests for the two soldiers to be released from detention.
The European Union had backed member state Greece in the dispute, condemning the detention of the soldiers and calling for their release.
The release order for the two men -- which was wholly unexpected -- comes as Turkey is engulfed in a bitter dispute with its NATO ally the United States which has seen the Turkish lira plunge to record lows.
Turkey charged the two soldiers with "attempted military espionage" as well as entering a forbidden military zone.
The prosecution said the pair testified they entered the Turkish side by tracking footsteps in the snow and filmed images on their mobile phones to send to higher ranking officials.
Athens and Ankara have also clashed over Turkish demands that Greece extradite eight Turkish troops wanted over the July 2016 attempted coup aimed at unseating President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

After two straight days of being on a weather hold ending in flight cancellations, Tara Neilson wakes up to heavy fog, as seen from the front deck of her parents' floathouse. Tara Neilson | For the Capital City Weekly
Alaska for Real: Wilderness nanny interrupted
By Tara Neilson
Wednesday, May 23, 2018 1:54pm
NeighborsCapital City Weekly
Just before the gloaming hour, while I waited outside the Juneau airport at the designated area for taxi and shuttle pick-ups, I noticed a couple eyeing me curiously. When the shuttle for my hotel arrived they stepped forward, the woman saying, "Oh, you're going the same place we are. Can you tell me what those are called?"
She pointed and I looked down at my rolled down rubber boots. "XtraTufs?" I asked, curious about her conversational opening.
She laughed. "It's just I seem to see them everywhere since we got to Alaska. They must be very good."
"The best," I agreed. We piled our gear in the back and then climbed in.
The couple was from Oregon and they were radiant with excitement about exploring Alaska, Juneau specifically. This endeared them to me immediately. I like people who so enthusiastically like Alaska.
The conversation circled back to my rubber boots and why I was wearing them. I explained that I had a job as a "wilderness nanny." The plan was for me to catch a floatplane tomorrow out to "somewhere off Baranof Island" where, after the plane landed, someone in a skiff would take me to a bear hunting boat. There was more than a hint of covert operations to this plan. Guides don't like revealing their most productive hunting grounds to all and sundry.
The Oregonians stared at me as if I'd just announced I was from Epsilon IV. It wasn't as outlandish as they seemed to think. I had done the wilderness nanny thing before (see: www.alaskaforreal.com/blog/category/jobs), and I had worked on a bear hunting boat previously as a cook.
But, since they were so obviously interested — or at least were a captive audience as we shuttled to our hotel in the pre-twilight traffic — I gave them the whole story.
At the tail-end of April my friend Ann-Marie, co-owner of a guide service, emailed me with this tagline: "Interested in Working for a Week?"
She wrote that they had a couple coming who would hunt the second and third week of May and they'd be bringing their two 4 1/2 year old daughters with them. They needed a nanny who'd be comfortable looking after them on a boat and taking them to shore in a skiff to wear off energy — in bear country. There weren't a lot of last minute options for hiring experienced wilderness nannies so she thought of me.
"The most it would be would be 10 days," she wrote. "They are hoping to get done earlier." Besides a generous wage, all travel expenses, including hotels, would be covered.
"Sure," I wrote back. "Sounds fun!"
Ann-Marie set up the one-way flights to get me to the boat (three: two different floatplane companies and a jet) and hotel, and I busied myself with getting things done on my end, including setting up a sushi dinner with my former editor Mary Catharine Martin, and possibly stopping by the offices of Capital City Weekly to meet my current editor Clara Miller, if I didn't get into Juneau too late.
As my day to travel up to Juneau arrived, the weather forecast didn't sound promising. On the day I was to get on the floatplane in Meyers Chuck, to get my jet in Ketchikan, it blew steadily. My hour came and went and the floatplane company put me on a weather hold until they finally canceled. I didn't make my jet.
Meanwhile, Ann-Marie was dealing with an unexpected death in her family and had to fly south for the funeral. While coping with bereaved relatives she had to cancel the previous bookings. She and I worked the phones trying to get a definite answer from the floatplane company in Ketchikan, but the best they could do was say that I'd probably be on a weather hold all the next day, which I was. That flight was also canceled. (Besides the weather, we also had to deal with the tide, which obstinately picked the very worst times to be out all day, making it tricky to have the skiff floating when it was needed).
I wondered to Ann-Marie if it was just getting to be too much trouble getting me up there, and she said it was definitely a challenge trying to explain the logistics of bush travel to the hunters, who didn't understand why it was so difficult to get a wilderness nanny out to the boat. She patiently explained it several times but wasn't sure they were getting it. Still, Ann-Marie said, they wanted me to keep trying to get out there.
So once again we set up the flights. I woke up the next morning to fog. I could barely see out to the entrance of our small bight. No way would they fly in this, I thought. But when I called the floatplane company they said they hadn't any fog in Ketchikan and my flight was still on for 1:20 p.m. And, happily, the fog cleared away by the time we took the skiff to Meyers Chuck to get the plane.
I chatted with locals as we waited for the plane. And waited. When I called they said they had mechanical difficulties but would be out there as soon as the plane was "fixed." That was reassuring. So I waited some more. More than an hour went by as I texted Ann-Marie, keeping her updated. It was getting closer and closer to when my jet would leave. She told me to tell her when I was actually stepping into the floatplane because only then would she set up a new hotel reservation and schedule another floatplane out to the boat.
The plane finally arrived, I climbed aboard, waved off by a dock full of locals and my dad, and was finally on my way. Providentially the jet, too, had been delayed so I didn't have any trouble catching it in Ketchikan.
I'd kept in contact with Mary Catharine, and while she and her boyfriend Bjorn Dihle (author of "Never Cry Halibut"and "Haunted Inside Passage"), had another dinner engagement that night, I could meet them afterward for an evening walk with a promised view of the Mendenhall Glacier.
They were actually in the parking lot of my hotel after I said goodbye to my new Oregonian acquaintances and checked in. I dumped my gear and climbed into their car and we had a great time on our walk, swiftly getting over the awkwardness of meeting for the first time after emailing for over a year. On the return trek back to the car, as the sun was setting over the glacier, I got a phone call from Ann-Marie.
"You're not going to believe this," she said.
"They got their bears."
I cracked up. After all our efforts, our scrambling to re-schedule, fighting the tides and weather, my sleeplessness nights wondering if I'd get out — this was more than a little anti-climactic.
Ann-Marie laughed ruefully as well. "So they won't need a wilderness nanny after all." As I walked back to car with Bjorn, Mary Catharine, and their golden retriever Fen, Ann-Marie assured me that the clients would pay me generously for my time as well as pay for all my return travel expenses.
In other words, I was going to be paid to do exactly nothing except travel around Alaska and stay at hotels on a perfect stranger's dime.
"Only in Alaska," I said. You gotta love this state.

Family, friends remember Wood at memorial service
Gabe Hernandez
Corpus Christi Caller-Times
Family and friends of Breanna Wood wore purple, Wood's favorite color, as they gathered for her memorial service on Saturday at the Corpus Christi Christian Fellowship.
A photo slideshow of the 21-year-old, who went missing in October and whose body was recovered Jan. 3, displayed memories on a wall as the group tearfully watched.
Breanna's mother, Fallon Wood, remembered how she would playfully fight with her daughter about who would say "I love you more," because she always wanted to be the "more."
"I have her and she's finally coming home with me," Fallon said.

Josef "Sepp" Oerter (* 24. September 1870 in Straubing; † 14. Dezember 1928 in Braunschweig) war ein deutscher Politiker. Oerter war zunächst Mitglied verschiedener anarchistischer und später sozialistischer Gruppierungen und Parteien, so der USPD und der SPD und nach seiner Abwendung von der Linken der NSDAP.

Leben

Frühe Jahre
Nach dem Besuch einer Realschule absolvierte der Sohn eines Feldwebels eine Buchbinder-Lehre. 1887 schloss er sich der Sozialdemokratie an, verließ diese aber 1890 bereits wieder, nachdem eine linksradikale Jugendgruppierung, die Oerter unterstützt hatte, aus der Partei ausgeschlossen worden war. Daraufhin wandte er sich dem Anarchismus zu.

Jahrhundertwende
Anfang der 1890er Jahre arbeitete Oerter in Duisburg. Zusammen mit seinem Bruder Fritz (* 1869 in Straubing, † 1935 in Fürth) schmuggelte er anarchistisches Agitationsmaterial von den Niederlanden nach Deutschland. Aufgrund zunehmenden Verfolgungsdrucks durch die Polizei flüchtete Oerter, wie viele andere seiner Genossen in jener Zeit, 1892 in die USA, wo er weitere bekannte Anarchisten kennenlernte, wie z. B. Peukert, Masuhr und Timmermann. Oerter wurde von den Behörden verdächtigt, im gleichen Jahr an einem Attentat von Alexander Berkman auf Henry Clay Frick, den Direktor des Carnegie-Stahlwerkes in Pittsburg, beteiligt gewesen zu sein. Ausgestattet von Emma Goldmann mit finanziellen Mitteln, kehrte er nach kurzer Zeit wieder nach Deutschland zurück.

Im Dezember 1892 wurden beide Brüder in Mainz wegen "aufrührerischer Reden" verhaftet. Die Anklage lautete auf "Aufruf zu Sprengstoffattentaten". Sepp Oerter wurde am 25. Oktober 1893 zu acht Jahren Zuchthaus, sein Bruder Fritz zu einem Jahr Gefängnis verurteilt.

Nach verbüßter Haftstrafe war er weiterhin in anarchistischen Bewegungen aktiv. Er trat als Redner im In- und Ausland auf. 1906 wurde er Chefredakteur der anarchistischen Zeitschrift Der freie Arbeiter. Er war außerdem Vorstandsmitglied der Anarchistischen Föderation Deutschland. 1907 nahm er am Gründungskongress der Anarchistischen Internationale in Amsterdam teil. In der Zeit zwischen seiner Entlassung (um 1902) und 1908 verfasste er eine Autobiographie.

1908 verlor er seine Ämter, als bekannt wurde, dass er während seiner Tätigkeit beim Freien Arbeiter Geld unterschlagen hatte. Danach schrieb er für verschiedene bürgerliche Zeitungen. 1913 trat er der SPD bei und arbeitete für deren Parteizeitung Vorwärts. Zu Beginn des Ersten Weltkrieges wurde er Beiratsmitglied der "Jugendbildungsvereine" Groß-Berlins.

1916 kam er schließlich nach Braunschweig, um bei der SPD-Zeitung Volksfreund als Chefredakteur zu arbeiten.

Politiker in Braunschweig
Als sich die SPD 1917 spaltete, wurde Oerter in die Führungsspitze der USPD gewählt. Nachdem er kurzzeitig im Sommer 1918 für die Leipziger Volkszeitung tätig gewesen war, kehrte er am Abend des 8. November 1918 nach Braunschweig zurück – zunächst zu spät für die Durchsetzung seiner politischen Ziele, denn am selben Tag, nur einige Stunden früher, war es seinem "Konkurrenten" August Merges gelungen, die Abdankung des letzten braunschweigischen Welfen-Herzogs Ernst-August zu erzwingen.

Während der mehrere Monate andauernden Phase des Schwankens zwischen Räterepublik und Parlamentarismus gelang es Oerter nach dem großen Wahlsieg der USPD im Jahre 1920, die Regierungsbeteiligung für seine Partei zu erringen. Wegen seiner aggressiven Rhetorik und seines taktischen Geschicks war er stets zahlreichen Anfeindungen von allen Seiten ausgesetzt, galt aber dennoch als einer der wichtigsten Politiker im Braunschweig jener Zeit.

Während der Zeit der Novemberrevolution in Braunschweig war Oerter als Vorsitzender der Arbeiter- und Soldatenräte zunächst vom 10. November 1918 bis zum 17. April 1919 Minister für Inneres und Finanzen unter August Merges (USPD). In der zweiten Landesregierung war Oerter schließlich ab dem 22. Juni 1920 Ministerpräsident des Landes Braunschweig. Es gelang ihm in dieser Zeit jedoch nur unzureichend, das politische Reformprogramm, das er vorgegeben hatte, umzusetzen.

Heinrich Jasper (SPD), späterer Ministerpräsident des Freistaates Braunschweig, charakterisierte Oerters Räterepublik einmal als "Diktatur einer undemokratischen Minderheit".

Bei den parteiinternen Auseinandersetzungen innerhalb der USPD im Jahre 1920 zu den Fragen des Beitritts zur Kommunistischen Internationale und zum Zusammenschluss mit der KPD positionierte Oerter sich in der Braunschweiger Bezirksorganisation gemeinsam mit Rudolf Löhr auf der Seite des rechten Parteiflügels um Arthur Crispien und stand den örtlichen Komintern-Anhängern um Carl Eckardt ablehnend gegenüber. Oerter vertrat hierbei die Meinung, dass die Prinzipien von USPD und Komintern miteinander unvereinbar seien, und plädierte aus taktischen Gründen für eine Zusammenarbeit mit der sozialdemokratischen zweiten Internationale.

Ausschluss aus der USPD und Eintritt in die NSDAP
Aufgrund von Vorwürfen der Korruption bzw. der Vorteilsannahme im Amt musste Oerter das Ministerpräsidentenamt aber am 24. November 1921 niederlegen, woraufhin sein Parteifreund Otto Grotewohl die Führungsrolle in der USPD übernahm. Im Frühjahr 1922 wurde Oerter wegen dieser Vorwürfe aus der USPD ausgeschlossen. Einer mehrmonatigen Gefängnisstrafe wegen Bestechlichkeit entging er lediglich wegen einer Amnestie. Nach seinem Parteiausschluss schwenkte Oerter politisch auf die völkische Linie ein und wurde schließlich im Januar 1924 Mitglied der NSDAP, die auf diese Weise erstmals im Braunschweigischen Landtag vertreten war. Nach 1925 zog Oerter sich aus der Politik zurück. Er starb 1928 an einem Herzinfarkt.

Zitate über Oerter
 Im November 1893, während seines Strafprozesses, beschrieb das Zentralorgan der deutschen Sozialdemokratie, die Zeitung Vorwärts, Oerter mit den Worten "Halbverrückter" und "geistig behinderter Mensch".
 Hermann Schroff (Zeitzeuge der Novemberrevolution): "Geistig ist Oerter seinem Gesinnungskollegen Merges unzweifelhaft überlegen. Merges wußte nie recht, was er wollte, Oerter dagegen ging strikte und rücksichtslos auf sein Ziel los; er wußte was zu erreichen mit Hilfe seiner chamäloeonartigen Anpassungsfähigkeit und seiner Eloquenz, womit er allen Einwänden der Zauderer zu begegnen verstand."
 Rudolf Rocker, ein deutscher Anarchosyndikalist, schrieb in seinen Erinnerungen Aus den Memoiren eines deutschen Anarchisten (Frankfurt am Main, 1974): "Er [Sepp Oerter] verbüßte seine Strafe bis zum letzten Tage und beteiligte sich nach seiner Entlassung einige Jahre in unserer Bewegung als Redakteur des Freien Arbeiter in Berlin. Später machte er allerhand Wandlungen durch …"

Nachruf
Im Jahre 1929 verfasste Erich Mühsam in der von ihm herausgegebenen Zeitschrift Fanal den Nachruf Ruhmloses Ende zum Tode Oerters.

Kritische Neubewertung der Lebensleistung
Im Rahmen der Debatte um eine Würdigung des politischen Lebenswerkes der Braunschweiger Politikerin Minna Faßhauer stellte die SPD-Fraktion im Braunschweiger Stadtrat im August 2013 den Antrag, in diesem Zusammenhang gleichfalls die Lebensläufe anderer Braunschweiger Politiker aus der Zeit der Novemberrevolution in Braunschweig, der Weimarer Republik bis hin zur Zeit des Nationalsozialismus in der Stadt einer kritischen Neubewertung zu unterziehen. Dieser Vorschlag wurde von der CDU-Ratsfraktion unterstützt. Die Personen, deren Lebensleistung demnach neu bewertet werden soll, sind unter anderen: Otto Grotewohl (erster Ministerpräsident der DDR), Carl Heimbs (DVP, mit verantwortlich für die Einbürgerung Adolf Hitlers), Werner Küchenthal, August Merges (USPD, erster Präsident der Sozialistischen Republik Braunschweig), Sepp Oerter (Anarchist, USPD, Ministerpräsident des Landes Braunschweig, später NSDAP) und Ernst August Roloff (DNVP, Gründer der BEL).

First Impressions: PLENG'S SONG
by DianneSalerni | Aug 6, 2012 | First Impressions | 3 comments
Today, our first page comes from Patrick Maher, whose book PLENG'S SONG has already been published to some acclaim and is popular with students at the international school in Thailand where he works. In fact, Patrick wrote the book while he was trapped in his home for 5 weeks during the 2011 Thailand Flood, and he then shared the manuscript chapter by chapter with his class as he worked on it.
Busted by the Principal!
Unbelievable! I just had the worst day of school ever because I got busted by the principal for having my iPhone in class. My teacher, Mr. James, was making us organize our notebooks, folders, pencils, markers, and all our other boring school supplies when the principal stopped by to say hello.
"I'm just walking around to see how all the classes are doing," Ms. Sinclair said in a friendly voice. "We are so lucky to have such wonderful students at Union of Hearts International School."
As she spoke, I was scrolling through my iPhone looking for a message about my father who is a businessman in Thailand. He was supposed to be meeting the prime minister at the Government House and I was checking to see whether my dad had sent me a message telling me they had met. I mean, how many people get to meet the prime minister?
"Excuse me young girl," Ms. Sinclair said with an angry voice as the skin above her upper lip wrinkled up tightly. "You need to come to my office, right now."
The whole class froze, even my teacher. I stood up feeling sick and followed the principal out of the classroom, down the hall, and into the principal's office. My heart was racing. I passed the secretary, Ms. Nok, and her jaw dropped. In the morning, I had told her my dad might be meeting the prime minister. I wanted to ask her for help but Ms. Sinclair angrily interjected.
"Get this girl's parents on the phone now!"
I could feel the rice soup I had eaten for breakfast slowly start churning in my stomach. It was as if the pieces of rice had become ants and were crawling up my throat. Trying not to throw up, I sat down in the chair facing the principal's desk.
"What do you think you're doing with an iPhone in the classroom?" Ms. Sinclair asked with her long red hair looking like it had flames rising from its tips. I knew I had a lot of explaining to do.
"Well…" I said, gasping for breath and speaking quickly. "My father is a businessman and…"
Ms. Sinclair quickly interrupted me. "I don't care what your father does for a living. At this school, we don't allow iPhones in class under any circumstances."
The pieces of rice in my throat started moving and felt like dirty cockroaches trying to escape an angry housekeeper. The principal continued talking but I wasn't listening. I tried my best to focus. Everything was blurry and I felt dizzy. Then my gaze fell on the garbage can next to Ms. Sinclair's desk. I dove for it as the most disgusting rice soup shot out of my mouth, landing right on the principal's carpet. I missed the garbage can completely.
Even though Patrick has already published his book, I'm going to go ahead and treat this excerpt like any other submission for a First Impressions critique and make suggestions for revisions.
First of all, it's a great opening situation. Because of the way Pleng reacts to getting sent to the principal's office, I assume she's normally a good student who rarely gets into trouble. I immediately feel sympathetic toward her. She's excited about her father's meeting, and she's hoping to hear all about it. Then the principal treats her like a troublemaker, and the poor child throws up in the principal's office. The reader cringes on her behalf.
The narration keeps us at arm's length, though. From the very first sentence, we feel like we are reading a summary of Pleng's day instead of living it with her. I'd like to see this written more in the moment. Some people would suggest present tense, but that is not a favorite of mine (as a writer) and I think the same thing can be done in past tense, too. The trick is to allow the narrator to reflect on the events, but not lapse into summary.
I'd love to see this start with Pleng scrolling through her phone, looking for a message from her father – hoping he'll send one, because she's so excited about him meeting the Prime Minister. She knows she's supposed to be organizing her desk and folders, but they're already neat. She doesn't even notice the principal has come in – until the principal spots the iPhone and pounces on her. I think it's a matter of ordering the presentation of events from Pleng's perspective, blow by blow, rather than letting her stand off to one side and tell us from a distance.
Any thoughts from readers on this? Thanks, Patrick, for sharing your first page with us. You can read an interview with Patrick about his experience in Thailand during the flood here. Pleng's Song is available for Amazon Kindle, and don't forget to check out Marcy's critique on Mainewords.
Johanna Garth on August 6, 2012 at 3:55 pm
Dianne, I think you nailed my reaction. I felt like I needed to be more inside Pleng's head.
Lexa Cain on August 7, 2012 at 5:29 pm
I agree with the suggestion to change the summary-style. It sounds as if I'm reading someone's journal/diary, not like I'm part of her in the scene. Less explanation, more physical reactions.
Also, to increase the tension, have the narrator know that it's against the rules but do it anyway, hiding the phone below the desk and scanning the room every few seconds to make sure she's unobserved. A character doing something in secret immediately increases the reader's anxiety.

Will she be at the Belleville Crokinole Challenge ?
Ha... just tell him to stop missing shots. I find the less I mess up the less I swear!
Great picture Ray! Let us know if you have any suggestions on how to teach the Belleville group on getting Louis Gauthier potty "mouth" trained.

We'd intended to spend tonight in Savannah, but we're only half-way there. And that's a good thing. We had such a good time, and had so much to see, that we only made it as far as Milledgeville, Georgia's first state capital.
and the world's only double-barreled cannon.
and wandering around the old town square.
The plan for tomorrow is to be up early and catch the tour of downtown Milledgeville, then head down the Antebellum Trail to Savannah, where we'll spend two nights.
Looks like Georgia will need to be on our bucket list! Have fun!!

Despite the Amendment's sacralization of the right to be let alone, the government chronically attempts to compromise our private space under bogus banners of national security or law and order in a futile quest for a risk-free existence. The Amendment categorically prohibits "unreasonable" searches or seizures. But the government constantly advocates for crabbed interpretations of the Amendment that would withdraw its protection from any information communicated in confidence to a third party—including Internet providers. In other words, the government aims to cripple our privacy in the Age of the Internet in favor of Big Brother. What makes matters even worse, the government has never demonstrated how these vastly increased surveillance powers would diminish international terrorism or serious crime.
The law is typically backward-looking. It is slow to catch up with the warp speed of technological change. The Obama administration exploited this defect by interpreting and applying federal statutes, including the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) and the 1986 Electronic Communications Privacy Act (EPCA), to crush the right of privacy. Edward Snowden revealed the Administration's Orwellian collection of telephonic metadata on every phone call or email of the entire United States population under a tortured interpretation of FISA. It was rejected by the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. President Barack Obama absurdly likened the National Security Agency's ubiquitous spying on Americans to Paul Revere's legendary ride to warn colonists that British redcoats were coming.
Obama's Department of Justice also demanded warrantless access to information about foreigners stored in a foreign country. Pause to ponder the precedent that would be set. It would enable the dictatorial governments of Russia or China to demand that American companies surrender information stored in the United States about their dissidents without judicial warrants to prosecute them in Russia or China in violation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights or the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
Fortunately for the right of privacy, Microsoft resisted. Over several years and at considerable expense, the company defeated the unwearied efforts of the Justice Department to force it to surrender information stored in Ireland without a warrant under a strained interpretation of EPCA. Big Brother officials in the Department, however, are urging review of Microsoft's Second Circuit victory in the United States Supreme Court because they know Congress would resist efforts to weaken EPCA by amendment.
Congressman Jim Sensenbrenner, R-WI, deserves a salute for his unwavering defense of the Bill of Rights—especially the right of privacy enshrined in the Fourth Amendment. Sensenbrenner understands the need for Congress to update EPCA to our vastly altered communications landscape since its enactment three decades ago. He is supporting legislation to amend EPCA accordingly.
The congressman should be applauded for recognizing that the right of privacy is too important to be left to the authoritarian whimsies of executive officials or the flukish rulings of federal courts. Let's hope other members of Congress and the public are as vigilant and enlightened.
As Edmund R. Murrow observed 60 years ago, a people of sheep will get a government of wolves.
