Mike Shery is a Swiss singer-songwriter and personal coach.
Mike Shery was born with a special gift: when he was a baby, he almost never cried but hummed melodies all day long. His parents – both professional musicians – discovered his early interest in music and sent him to a music school at age three, where he began learning to play the violin. Today he still plays the violin, as well as the viola, both with family and friends and in a string ensemble.
When he got older the humming changed to singing – but he kept singing all day long and in every situation: during homework, later on while studying for exams or when doing sports or being around friends or family. Every time he listened to a new CD he would learn both lyrics and music very quickly. His talent for singing also led him to acting. At school he received the lead every time – and when the play was a musical comedy, he hit the jackpot as this combined both his acting and singing talents!
Encouraged by friends and family who noticed his singing talents, he started to write his own songs. As the violin or viola was not well suited for accompanying himself, he acquired a ukulele which allowed him to play and sing at the same time. He mastered this new instrument within a few hours and wrote a new song the same day.
While performing at a wedding he met Jay Classic, a record producer and songwriter. They immediately teamed up and understood each other very well. Several jam sessions in a Swiss chalet followed. In this ideal situation, separated from the outside world, Mike Shery created many new songs – and hopefully many of them will be published in the future!
Besides music, he's very active in sports and personal coaching, where he helps clients to focus, achieve and maintain their private and professional goals.

Jay Classic is a Swiss songwriter, designer, record producer and filmmaker.
Jay Classic was born and raised as "Jan Locher" in the Swiss Canton of Valais, a few miles north of the famous Matterhorn mountain. Thanks to his parents, he discovered the love for music and film very early and naturally. As a young boy he loved playing on his mother's Hammond organ or pressing the buttons of his father's video camera.
As a little boy, he attended a concert with his family and saw someone playing the pan flute, the instrument consisting of multiple pipes. He was totally amazed by the overwhelming sound of this instrument, and his parents enabled him to have musical training. Today he still loves playing the pan flute – as well as many other instruments which he took up over time.
His interest in music and film began at an early age, and his parents continued to nurture his talents. At age fourteen, during a one year stay in Canada, the local school was fully equipped with new iMacs (iMac G3's). One day his teacher showed up with a digital camcorder, plugged it into the computer and edited a video! Impressed by this newly available magic, he soon edited his first video on a computer. Back in Switzerland he applied this "new" skill at school, filming his teachers and fellow students and selling them the DVDs. Today, his camera work can be seen on several European TV stations like ARTE, ZDFinfo, SRF or in his music videos.
At age nineteen he received his Swiss Federal Maturity diploma. His final project was about the physics of the flute. He had a keen interest in discovering and learning new things and later majored in physics at the University of Bern, Switzerland. During his university studies he was able to benefit from an academic exchange at the Université Pierre et Marie Curie in Paris, France. During a brief visit to Boston to see his former professor who was at MIT at the time, he stumbled upon a group of Berklee College of Music students who were singing and recording a song on the streets. The next day, one of these students was kind enough to teach Jay Classic some advanced audio recording and editing techniques. Back in Switzerland he further trained himself while composing and producing music for the biggest air show in Switzerland; he worked for a team called the "Classic Formation" – a three-vintage-aircraft formation. He played his musical compositions at the airshow while functioning as a commentator in front of over 100'000 people.
While working as a consultant at a leading Swiss ICT consulting firm, he spontaneously wrote and produced a song which aimed to attract new employees. Soon thereafter, Jay Classic's "hidden talents" leaked to the bosses, and he received many more challenging and fun projects besides his main work. Today Jay Classic's knowledge has led to the launching of two firms: Alytico, a Swiss data analytics and consulting firm as well as MotionRhythm, a media and publishing company.
During a creative workshop in the Swiss Alps with the singer, songwriter and personal coach Mike Shery, Jay Classic wrote an early draft of the music for the song "Fly with me" and finished a first version of the song by the end of the day. He played it to Mike Shery who immediately began to sing along. They both decided to make their first "hit-attempt" with this song. Fingers crossed! Jay Classic has a lot of new songs and projects up his sleeve. We all are curious to see what happens next!

TVA Plans for Removal of Coal Ash at Former Allen Fossil Plant Site
MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The Tennessee Valley Authority is planning to remove coal ash stored at the former Allen Fossil Plant site in Shelby County, Tennessee to an approved offsite landfill. This is an important step toward making the site available for future economic development.
As part of the National Environmental Policy Act, TVA evaluated options for closure of the ash impoundments at Allen to include, but not limited to, closure by removal and beneficial use. The final Environmental Impact Statement is available at www.tva.com/nepa. The document addresses the potential environmental effects associated with actions including the use of permitted borrow sites for fill material and the disposal of coal ash at existing offsite permitted landfills.
In the final EIS, TVA's preferred alternative is closure by removal of all coal ash at Allen to a permitted offsite landfill. Closure in place was eliminated from consideration in the draft EIS. Construction of a beneficial reuse facility was also considered, but would extend the timeline of closure and delay the future economic development of the site, as well as result in greater impacts to the community.
TVA has identified six permitted landfills which could potentially accept coal ash from Allen. Coal ash is regulated as nonhazardous solid waste by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. TVA has not selected a specific site, and will issue a request for proposals from the landfills. Each of the candidate landfill operators would be expected to have robust environmental plans, effective project designs, and a history of compliance that ensures minimal offsite impacts from storage of coal ash.
TVA does not solely own the property where the fossil plant is located. TVA has had, and continues to have, numerous discussions with the City of Memphis, MLGW and others about interest in potential economic redevelopment of the site.

No go for Transatlantic race
Big winds have forced the postponement of the Rolex Transatlantic Race
TAGS: Transatlantic Race
A severe depression centred off Cape Cod, potentially producing headwinds gusting up to 50 knots, caused the Race Committee to delay the start of the Rolex Transatlantic Challenge yesterday. A new start time was provisionally set for 1400EDT today, 22 May 22.
At the Captains' Briefing in the New York Yacht Club's Model Room on Friday night, David Tunick, Chairman of the Technical and Compliance Subcommittee for the Rolex Transatlantic Challenge, gave the reasons for the decision: "We looked at the weather all week. We not only monitored the National Weather Service ourselves, but we also took advice from two professional weather services. Their advice, coming to us independently this morning, was to postpone the start. The reason is that there were two lows out there that looked as if they might be merging – a double whammy. With the history of the Sydney-Hobart and the Fastnet, they considered it highly irresponsible of the New York Yacht Club to send off the race."
Tunick added that many of the top skippers taking part in the Rolex Transatlantic Challenge had spoken to him during the day, also urging him to postpone the start. "I was pleased to hear that advice, and it was on that advice that the decision was taken."
Mike Sanderson, racing helmsman of line honours favourite Mari-Cha IV gave his views: "If it had gone to a vote, we would have voted to go, because we think we're battle-ready. But I think it is smart what they have done. There is no point in burning out half the fleet in one fell swoop. Time will tell what the weather does in the following days. I think we will get away Sunday. Three days into it, we should get good breeze again, but on the wind."
Mike Slade felt his water-ballasted 90ft (29.9m) Leopard of London would have handled the conditions had the start not been postponed but was happy with the decision. "As the owner, I am quite relieved. When you hit the Gulf Stream, if there is a north-easterly coming down at you and the Gulf Stream coming from the south-southwest, you have wind against tide. And then you have a shelf, as well, over the Grand Banks – then you're asking for some serious weather."
A start for Sunday looks promising, Tunick said at the briefing. "We have been looking at the weather this afternoon and have been in touch with both our weather services. We will be looking at it again tomorrow morning."

Penn State Scandal Puts Church Scandal In New Light
November 22, 2011 November 22, 2011 ~ Susan Matthews
This is an excellent article. Click here to read: "Penn State sex case rivets public, fuels reforms," by MaryClaire Dale, Associated Press, San Francisco Chronicle, November 21, 2011
Excerpt: "There are far more numbers (of victims and abusers) in the priest-abuse scandal, and one might even think larger violations of trust," said Frank Cervone, executive director of the Support Center for Child Advocates in Philadelphia. "Ironically, more people are upset (now)."

Jerry Slevin says:
Congratulations, Susan and Kathy. Associated Press is the most influential and respected news organization in the world. They are now reporting on the reforms to PA legislation you both have worked so hard for. In addition, Chaput appears in retreat and is calling for mandatory reporting. A very substantial victory, well earned.
Elizabeth T. says:
Susan and Kathy, your good work is paying dividends for all, not just Catholic children. I firmly believe that the RCC scandal has brought the issue of childhood sexual abuse out into the open. You both have had the courage to face it, name it, and demand that the protection of children be a priority, not only in the Archdiocese, but in all Catholic communities.
Now that the crime of sexual abuse of children has been acknowledged in Penn State, it is not just aware Catholics who know how serious and pervasive a crime it is. Thank you for helping make us aware of the need to protect all our children from sexual abuse.
Kathy Kane says:
Such an important part of the article,this quote from former DA Lynn Abraham The Pennsylvania Catholic Conference, along with Chaput's predecessors in Philadelphia, vigorously fought time extensions in the past.
"The worst thing he can do is continue the policies of the previous administration," Abraham said.
Kathy, Lynn Abraham was right…."The worst thing he (current archbishop) can do is continue the policies of the previous administration"
Sadly, when one reads the SF Chronicle article, though, you have the sense of 'business as usual.' The Chronicle cites the Archbishop as wanting prompt reporting of abuse, which I read as….no need to extend reporting requirements time line from age 30 to 50 years old as HB 878 and 832 are proposing. Just report NOW!
And the Archbishop wants legislation that is 'fair and just for all concerned' an argument he used in Colorado to defeat bills like HB 878 and 832. The 'all concerned' could be the fiscal interests of the Church which seems unable to understand that rape and sodomy of innocent children takes primary priority over other 'good works.'
It's sort of like if I am convicted of murder, and yet have been charitable in other ways, my charity outweighs my criminal actions and should get primary consideration. Not an argument that holds any water in criminal proceedings, except at the sentencing phase.
Rev. John S. Wintermyer, Retired Archdiocese of Washington says:
Dear Kathy and Susan. thank you ever so much for the courage and the time to open this site for Catholics4change. You have really been raising consciousness for so many people. We are all awaiting the next step. Much like Advent, we now are in the mode of expectation
It is sad that so many people just refuse to even consider that such an horrendous tragedy against so many children could happen in one of the most powerful religious communities in the world and that this plague was, also, finally exposed throughout the world and not isolated to the American church. Again, thank you so much.
May I add a personal note. Today is the anniversary of the death of President Kennedy. I was stationed at St. Stephen, the Martyr church in WDC on Pennsylvania Ave, NW.. The president occasionally attended Mass there. The evening that his body was returned to the White House, the secret service came to our modern church ( 3 years old) and requested the kneelers and the mahogany candlesticks (6ft tall with candlles) which were placed around the coffin in the East Room. We, the priest of the rectory, were then asked to go to the White House and serve in vigil for the night watch. One can never forget such memories.
Again, thank you and all the bloggers who are attempting to make this site a powerful challenge to the failure to act by the authorities in the Church. It is just so sad that Penn State had to be the catalyst for making this issue so much more apparent to the public.
Father Wintermeyer, Thank you for your comments on this site. In our advocacy work we have joined with many groups of people who are involved in the efforts of protecting children. Most recently we have been joined by both parents and Rabbi's within the Jewish community. At both press conferences in Harrisburg there were Rabbi's in attendance. The first time a rabbi from New York,this last time a rabbi from the Harrisburg area. Both of these rabbi's introduced themselves to our group and spoke of the problem of sexual abuse within their community.Their honesty and passion about children was refreshing.
I recently have been included in emails within the Jewish community. The other day I received an email that was sent to 40 rabbi's…and me. The email told the story of Lot and used the references to speak about the children of today It was a very long email I will just share a portion. Rabbi Rosenberg, utilizing the ancient rabbinic maxim that these Biblical stories are eternal lessons for posterity (Maase Avos Siman L'banim) explains that in our generation many people are acting like Lot when it comes to their children. They are allowing them to be raped, sodomized and sexually molested in order to protect others. They are concerned more with protecting the social fabric (which has become more and more like Sodom). They want to protect adults from "false allegations". They want to protect the innocent family members of the molesters from having their breadwinner incarcerated. They want to protect the financial integrity of the Torah institutions that harbor molesters from being sued. They want to protect the reputations of big rabbis who have been guilty of covering up child sexual abuse for years. They want to protect the image of Orthodox Judaism by pretending that we are better than everyone else and don't have any child molesters in our midst. They want to protect their own families from the social stigma of a complete perversion of the "mesirah" laws against handing another Jew over to secular law enforcement (which were written at a time when the Jews lived under antisemitic rule). They want to protect the victims from being "outed" and seen as "damaged goods" unworthy of shidduchim (marriage opportunities). They want to protect their friends, neighbors and relatives who ARE the molesters, from being punished for their crimes.
And they sacrifice the innocence and the physical emotional and spiritual safety and security of their own children. This is the legacy of Lot, not of Abraham. This is the legacy that leads to inter-generational incest and abuse, and eventually to the development of a cruel and wicked people.
Let us change. Let us return to the kind ways of the Jewish people and of the Torah. Let us champion the safety of our children, and hold those who harm them to account and bring them to justice. Our future as a people is totally dependent on it. Parents, by standing up and demanding better from your rabbis, and by protecting your children from these communal forces, you are creating a legacy of justice, a legacy of morality, a legacy of safety and security, a legacy of love for your children and all the children of the Jewish people, from now until the coming of Mashiach, speedily in our days.
This is the type of honesty that people within the Church are waiting for. For their clergy to call it what it is ,no excuses. Fr Wintermyer ,do you think we have a chance of seeing this type of honesty from groups of clergy, rather than just some individual priests who speak up from time to time?
Thanks to both Kathy and Fr W!
Abuse Tracker notes that new members have been appointed to the diocesan Review Bd. Any comments?
It does occur to me that however competent the new diocesan Review Board members are….they are still limited in their 'review' by the info the AD gives or does NOT give them regarding possible abusers!
survivor's wife says:
Review boards are hand-picked. They are chosen by hierarchy. We already know they will be company people because what bishop is going to hand-pick a person who challenges the status quo? The circle of people they choose from are people who rub elbows with the rcc. It won't matter whose face is on the review board…it's a warm body selected by the bishop.
Similar to Education Commission panels in catholic schools. Ultimately, the priest makes the final decisions and can trump any recommendation or suggestion made by the Commission (or Review Board).
Review Board=Ineffective.
Sadly, that's about what I thought! Thanks SW.
Susan and Kathy. In two days we will be celebrating Thanksgiving. Thank you for your time, effort, bravery, diligence, and hope during these days of confusion and fear for so many of us. This site has touched so many people, and at the very least has created an honest dialogue for the first time. I pray that this time next year, we will be in a very different place, and that our children will be protected by the laws of our State…….finally. If our church will not protect our children, then good people everywhere must stand up and be heard until the powers that be listen. God bless you, and all of the victims.
There is hope, and the Wisconsin Church just behaved in a way that makes one truly thankfu!

Statement by Peter Isely of Milwaukee, SNAP Midwest Director, 414.429.7259
At the Wisconsin state capitol in Madison yesterday, Fr. James Connell, the Vice Chancellor of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee made quiet history when he joined Senator Julie Lassa (24th Senate District, Stevens Point) and Representative Sandy Pasch (22nd Assembly District-Whitefish Bay), in urging the passage of the Wisconsin Child Victims Act.
With Connell were victim/survivors of child sexual violence by clergy and other trusted adults, long time child protection advocates and organizations, and law enforcement. Every speaker echoed the now long established conclusion, based on criminological research and population studies, that most child victims do not report the crimes committed against them and if they do, it often takes years, if not decades.
The newly introduced reform measure would lift the civil statute of limitations on child sex abuse and open a two year "grandfather clause" for those already victimized to bring their cases to court. The bill does not target any church, organization or school. There are no exemptions or special clauses in it. It simply allows anyone who was raped or sexually assaulted as a child to bring the offender, or those proven to have covered up the criminal activity of the offender, to civil justice.
Victim/survivors of sexual abuse and a high ranking Catholic official standing shoulder to shoulder in support of the Child Victims Act, fought by Catholic bishops in several states, is an unusual enough scene. Of course, a bishop knows that when victims get their cases heard in court, just like we are now seeing in the a Penn State scandal, the cover up of these crimes can reach into the highest rungs of his organization.
But that is not what made Connell's words so noteworthy. It was, rather, that Connell clearly and powerfully articulated how all Catholics can get behind legal reform of the child sex abuse statutes because Catholic law ("canon law") itself fully supports and uses the basic legal principles upon which the Child Victims Act is constructed.
It's just that church officials are not applying these principles to their own acts of injustice.
And the Child Victims Act, as Connell eloquently argued, is about justice: "Justice in the Catholic Church is a cardinal virtue. And Church leaders may not turn away from justice."
Connell should know what he is talking about. He is himself a canon lawyer, and a member of the archdiocesan review board charged with examining current sexual abuse reports against priests. "We have" he said, "within our own [Catholic legal] system statutes of limitations, and the catholic church has itself in recent years changed the laws of statutes of limitations".
Connell pointed out how the Vatican has extended legal time limits on child sex crimes by priests and, even more significantly, opened up their statutes to address past cases, even if the time limits of the current statute had expired. In other words, just what the Child Victims Act would do: extend or eliminate the legal time limits for victims to file child sex abuse cases and open up the current statute to address past cases.
Connell's concerns are not simply as a church official, canon lawyer, and someone who has to rule on sex abuse cases in his own archdiocese. It is also because he has been a pastor of two Sheboygan, Wisconsin parishes over the past twelve years, and each parish has had a child sex predator once assigned there by the archdiocese: "The pain is deep with my parishioners, and as I have gotten to know them, know their stories, it has touched my heart deeply".
In closing his remarks from the Senate Parlor, Connell spoke words that victims and their families have been long been waiting to hear from priests and church officials:
"I would encourage the bishops in the state of Wisconsin and the entire catholic community here in the state to follow the example of our own church law and to change the laws as necessary to actually serve the needs of justice, in this case, serving the needs of those who are victims of clergy sexual abuse. So, I do support this legislation and I ask the entire community, the catholic community, and our bishops to join in this support."
SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, is the world's oldest and largest support group for clergy abuse victims. We've been around for 23 years and have more than 10,000 members. Despite the word "priest" in our title, we have members who were molested by religious figures of all denominations, including nuns, rabbis, bishops, and Protestant ministers. Our Wisconsin website is SNAPwisconsin.com.
This is encouraging. I hope that more catholic leadership will not be afraid to speak out as the climate is changing and those that speakout I feel will be gaiining the support of the laity.
Vice Chancellor Father James O Connell of the Milwaukee Archdiocese standing in the State Capitol, Madison, with victims advocates, victims, and legislators sponsoring the Wisconsin Child Protection Act, ( a no nonsense bill that would lift the civil statute of limitations on child sex abuse and open a two year window for all abused to bring the offender AND those proven to have covered up the criminal activity of the offender to justice,) called on Wisconsin bishops and Catholics to support the legislation on Nov 23.
WOULD THAT THIS WOULD HAPPEN IN Philadelphia and PA!
WHY can a Wisconsin AD official do this and NOT a Philadelphia or other PA diocesan officials do the same?
If its right in Wisconsin, surely it is right in PA?
AND throughout the nation?
Peter Isely said, when reporting Father Connoll's statement of support in Madison Wisconsin for the Wisconsin Child Protection Act, that 'quiet history was made'…..when a diocesan official publicly supported the Act.
I think Father James Connoll deserves a major 'thank you' …..would very much appreciate his e mail address….so as to thank him!

Depending on our experience, gender, race, to name a few traits, we can make more of an impact by consciously using all aspects of our communication.
Every single one of us requires a level of confidence to move forward to achieve our goals, and recognizing what obstacles we may face interacting in diverse groups we can build our authority and be seen as approachable and committed to our work. Jess Dewell interviews Andrea Kramer and Alton Harris to talk about how to increase our confidence.
How do we evaluate where we are at and where we are taking our career?
What can we do right now for a confidence check, and if we don't like the result, what's the first step to change?
The importance of attitude in today's workplace.
Confidence is knowing rejection is possible and we move forward anyway.
Authentic is a stereotype in itself.
Stories of impression management (to address stereotypes and biases of gender, age, and more).
The use of humor and grit to address stereotypes.
Traits and characteristics of allies.
The importance of male allies and male sponsors for women.
Audience Question: "I had a different experience, when I was not "bossy", I was actually left out… so when I embraced my authority and nature things improved for me… My question is why do we always put accent on how women should behave?
How we view ourselves in situations to know when it works and when it doesn't work.
Examples of disconnect that crop up between interpretation of the body language and verbal language.
The quest for authenticity includes improving our skills.
What we can do to self reflect and do a confidence check: power poses and mind priming.
It is BOLD to put our attention and actively increase our confidence.
Andie Kramer: One of the things about success and advancing in our career is to view success as an objective, a goal, and not to be afraid to take a step and be rejected.
Al Harris: Very often, if we are able to find within us tenacity we can put ourselves forward when we are unsure [about taking a step forward] , the next time we do it it gets easier.
Andie Kramer: An element of confidence is to be prepared and to know what the objective is.
Al Harris: Presenting yourself, selling yourself to other people is a very different kind of skill.
Al Harris: The ability to present yourself in ways that other peoples perceive as a leader, is [the skill of] impression management.
Andie Kramer: You can't forget what your objective is.
Jess Dewell: We can look back and find a time that we were in a situation to show up and step up, to show up, with the help of an ally.
Al Harris: Male allies are a key aspect of women's ability to move forward with grace and decisiveness they need in order to succeed.
Andie Kramer: You don't behave in a way that fits and allows someone else to be satisfied their stereotype, the reality is that sometimes when you confront people, you may need to bring in another edge to overcome the biases the other person has.
Andie Kramer: We never can forget the context we are in. We have to be considering and evaluating the whole situation.
Al Harris: A lot depends on objective, context, and situation.
Andie Kramer: The ability to dip into ourselves and to pull out different characteristics as needed is more authentic because we know more about who we are.
Al Harris: What's important about confidence is that willingness to keep moving out of comfort zone.
Andie Kramer: The bolder we are the more opportunities we have to succeed.

By NEZZIE (McLeod) MORRIS
Visitors to the home of the late J.B. Morris of Karangahake (and later Waihi) may remember the picture of an old lady that graced the place of honour over the mantelpiece in the sitting room. I can still hear J.B. explaining; "That was Granny Bennett. When my mother died I was 9 and she took me to live with her at Mahurangi Heads. My son Bennett was named for her".
Granny was the wife of Capt. Bennett of the American whaler "Hannibal" and she and her young family were among the settlers ordered to the warships when Hone Heke was active in 1840. Among the hastily packed bundles was her precious clock, but she had thrown the family silver down the well. (It was never recovered!) Years later her daughter Elizabeth married James Morris and their eldest son was John Benjamin who went to live with his Grandmother when the children were scattered. Times were very hard and he often spoke of how the Maoris helped them and of how he left home in search of work when he was 13. After a period in the Mangawhai Kauri Bush, and bush in the Gisborne Area the sea called him, and he spent some years around the coast in scows till he was attracted to the Australian Goldfields returning to N.Z. with both "nuggets" and cash.
His next venture was timber milling in the Waitara district where he married Catherine Amelia Kane and their children Bennett, Alma and Harry were born there. In 1898 gold reports attracted J.B. to Karangahake and he sent for his family when he had built a house (now Muirhead's) for them on Rahu Road, then the main road to Waihi. Another son (Charlie) was born there but when he was 10 days old Mrs. Morris died. Their great friends, Mr. and Mrs. Meagher, brought up the child as their own and King Meagher continued to care for the Morris family till the end.
In 1903 J.B. married Maude Wyatt, the daughter of the first English Master at the Auckland Grammar School, and his bent for individual projects led him to bush work again, with a team of 20 Bullocks and the establishment of a Sawmill. Then he discovered Cinnabar on his property and tried to develop the mining of it but the project was not successful.
Having an engineering certificate, J.B. began working 6 days a week in the Crown Battery, continuing till it closed in 1920 when he had the contract for dismantling it. Later he and his son Harry, (assisted by Fred Dare and Albert Nelson) opened up the adjacent Crown Quarry, supplying metal throughout the district. This continued for several years until the heavy railway freight forced closing. After Harry's tragic death in 1924, Ben assisted his father in the final year. (Charlie (Meagher) had died in 1920 after a long illness, and Alma had married Lawrie Turnbull. They lived at the White Rocks farm (now Bradford's) for many years before moving to Auckland where Alma died in 1946 leaving four children).
Men who have once "mined" find it difficult to resist the lure of gold and J.B. Morris was the man who with others in the 20's opened up the old Dubbo Mine on the south side of the Karangahake mountain peak. He built a small Battery there and the results attracted the attention of some well known Auckland businessmen who purchased the Claim in which. J.B.M. retained some shares. He then took over another part of the old Crown workings where he employed several men and achieved such promising results that he built a treatment plant on the site of the present picnic Area - once part of the town. A good friend, the late Mr. Ben Gwilliam assisted with refining and assaying but there were tremendous difficulties and set backs. In an effort to solve these, two employees, John Cotter and Jim O'Brien, became working partners with their gallant old friend, thus sharing losses as well as profits, the firm being known as "J.B Morris and Coy".' Among the local men who worked there were: Jack Milroy, Kel Goldsworthy, Jack Clarkin, Jack O'Brien and others. Finally the venture closed.
The years had taken toll (J.B. was then in his 80's) and when in 1940 Mrs. Morris' health made it impossible to continue to live on Rahu Road, they bought a neat little home in Pipe Lane, Waihi where they maintained their well known hospitality and their interest in Karangahake. Mr. Morris had served its Anglican Church, was Chairman of its School Committee and had represented it on the Ohinemuri County Council. He was a J.P., a Life Member of the Masonic Lodge and Past Master of the Oddfellows. His old Maori Bible and Dictionary were his dearest treasures during his later years, enabling him to act as interpreter when needed. On the eve of his death in 1946 be dictated a farewell letter to friends of his youth; and so passed a remarkable and revered old man. His widow died in 1950 in her 90th year.
OUR CONTRIBUTOR: MRS. NEZZIE MORRIS a member of the noted Waipu McLeod family, attended the Auckland Grammar School and took up teaching. It was while she was on the Staff of the Netherton School that she met Bennett Morris who had served with distinction for nearly 4 years during World War I, both at Gallipoli and on the Western Front. He was twice mentioned in despatches and was awarded the meritorious Service Medal. In 1926 Nezzie and Ben married and lived in Mackaytown before moving with their daughter Isobel to Waihi till 1945 when Ben's health broke down and they decided to live at Whangamata. There he interested himself in boating and fishing when health permitted, but he passed away in Waihi Hospital in 1966 after a very long illness. Mrs. Morris now lives in Waihi where she has many friends.

Despite a parent's best efforts to provide their child with an overall healthy and well-balanced diet, the reality is that most children are not getting the complete nutrition they need.
To make matters worse, trends in food consumption indicate children are eating larger portions; drinking less milk (but more fruit juice and soda); eating more calorie-rich, nutrient poor meals away from home; and skipping breakfast.[vi] These poor food choices and unhealthful eating trends are fueling the childhood obesity epidemic as well as increasing the prevalence of diseases that rarely were diagnosed in children until the past 15 years—including hypertension, elevated cholesterol, arthritis and other orthopedic problems, and a frightening increase in the diagnoses of type 2 diabetes.
Given these unhealthful eating trends and suboptimal nutrient intakes—combined with the fact that many essential nutrients are not stored in the body and must be supplied in the diet on a regular basis—parents should be encouraged to provide their infants, toddlers, and young children with a comprehensive multivitamin-multimineral supplement to fill in nutritional gaps caused by dietary shortfalls.
DHA—or docosahexaenoic acid, one of the omega-3 fatty acids used most readily by the body—is found in fatty fish, yet children consume only 20–50 mg of DHA per day. And because of the growing concerns about environmental contaminants in our fish supply, the FDA and EPA advise young children to limit their fish intake.[xii] Supplementation with a high-quality dietary supplement that uses highly purified fish oil offers a means for safely providing DHA to our children without worrying about the mercury and other environmental toxins present in the fatty fish that provide the food source of DHA.

Religious Right Extremists Head To Alabama To Defend Roy Moore Against 'Homosexualist Gay Terrorism'
By Peter Montgomery | November 16, 2017 5:21 pm
Anti-abortion activist Janet Porter drew a gaggle of Religious Right activists to Birmingham this afternoon for a press conference praising Alabama Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore, a portion of the more than 200 people she said have signed a new letter standing up for Moore after a spate of allegations that he made sexual advances on teenage girls.
The press conference, which Moore and his wife Kayla attended and Moore spoke at, featured effusive praise for Moore's character and record and vehement denunciations of the "character assassination" Moore's supporters say is being waged by his enemies. Speakers identified these enemies not only as the women accusing him of sexual misconduct ("lies" and "vile calumnies"), but also the "lynch mob media," "gay terrorists," "communist Democrats," "anti-God Republicans," and other enemies of life, liberty and the Ten Commandments.
Speakers included anti-abortion extremists like Flip Benham and Operation Save America's Rusty Thomas, long-time Religious Right fringe figures and like Alan Keyes and Gordon Klingenschmitt, right-wing internet personalities like Activist Mommy, local pastors, and even Janet Porter's mom, who is still furious about the way Republicans treated her daughter when she ran unsuccessfully for the Ohio state senate last year. Also speaking was Steve Hotze, a Texas activist who has been a major funder of Moore's campaign, who Porter said had helped to organize the event.
One standout—both for being a non-Christian and for the intense ugliness of his anti-gay rhetoric—was Rabbi Noson Leiter, who denounced the "abomination" of marriage equality and "homosexualist gay terrorism and blackmail" and praised Moore for taking on "immoral Bible-hating millionaires" including "anti-god Republicans like McCain and Romney." He said Noah's flood "was triggered by societal recognition of same-gender marriage—so-called marriage." Letier said, "We need Judge Moore to stand up to the LGBT transgender mafia, which legislates sins that the Bible brands abomination into public policy, thereby advancing laws that result in state-sanctioned abuse of children and adults alike."
Benham also joined in the apocalyptic anti-gay rhetoric, warning that America has turned away from truths such as that "homosexual sodomy destroys those who participate in it and nations who approve of it."
Taken together, the speakers' comments mirrored the disturbing public record of Moore himself: anti-reproductive choice, anti-LGBTQ, and solidly in favor of using the power of government to bring the country back to, in Moore's words, "the One on whom it is founded."
Moore joked that he had already brought unity to the country by uniting Republicans and Democrats in Washington who don't want him there. He denounced the "scurrilous" and "false" allegations of sexual misconduct, which he said were "an effort by Mitch McConnell and his cronies to steal this election from the people of Alabama."
Moore returned to the themes that have made him a folk hero among Religious Right activists, denouncing the federal judiciary and pledging to bring to Washington, D.C. the "truth" that America cannot succeed without acknowledging God. "We've got to stop judicial supremacy or we're losing our form of government," he said.
Moore was not the only one who sees his election in existential terms. Alan Keyes warned that "if we let them get away with this, we will have shut the door on all our rights," turning us from the United States of America into "the United States of Serfdom, worse than the Soviet Union."
After forcing reporters to sit through many denunciations of the sexual misconduct allegations, Porter opened the floor to questions but insisted, borrowing Ronald Reagan's "we paid for this microphone" line, that reporters could only ask questions about "issues" and not "unsubstantiated allegations." After a couple of reporters asked questions about the allegations, Moore walked offstage without answering and the event was over, though some speakers stuck around to holler at reporters.

Busting the Biggest Myth On Korean Cosmetic Surgery
01 9월2014
Boasting more than five hundred clinics, while Gangnam district is known as the mecca of cosmetic surgery, South Korea has gained a bad rep in recent years with news coverage often presenting the nation as an image-obsessed nation.
Let's Bust the Myth
The second idea that has been thrown around in the media, is that many Asians who choose to change their appearance are said to be, "ashamed of looking Asian and want to look white." Arguments have been raged on why double eyelid surgery is so popular in Korea. Which of course, media reports claim that it is to achieve a more Western looking eye. We think this is complete hogwash.
If you are Asian and want to get cosmetic surgery, don't listen to that rubbish. It doesn't mean you secretly harbour feelings of shame from being Asian. So don't you beat yourself up over it!
The truth is, it is in our biology that most people are drawn towards cute, baby-like faces. In most people, the sight of a baby produces protective and nurturing responses. These are faces with larger eyes, higher eyebrows, smaller nose bridges, rounder faces, thicker lips and lower vertical placement of features, creating a higher forehead and a shorter chin.
A study found that pretty women have more oestrogen, and higher oestrogen levels are seen as more feminine and attractive – these attractive faces had bigger eyes, larger forehead area, small chins and larger lips. Is it merely a coincidence then, that popular Gangnam plastic surgery trends involve larger eyes, a smaller chin and a smaller nose bridge?
Another thing is, if most Asians coming to Korea to get cosmetic surgery only did it to look like a white person, let's not forget that many black people have double eyelids too! By following the ridiculous reasoning that 'double eyelid surgery is used to look more like white people', then it should be just as true to say that 'double eyelid surgery is used to look more like black people'.
Sure, there might be some people who really hate being Asian and dislike their oriental features. But it is an exaggeration to say that for all Asian people. For the most part, it has nothing to do with race here.
Empowerment through Surgery
While it is true that cosmetic surgery is heavily advertised in South Korea, it is also true that their society believes in empowerment through surgery; this is a country that is highly competitive and where looks matter a lot to even score a job interview. As for Asians in neighboring countries, some would like to look like a certain Korean celebrity. Some others just like to create their own look, it's like make-up but a more permanent solution.
Yes, it's true that South Korea is an image-conscious place, but the media should give it a break and quit making exaggerated and subtle, racist remarks in their reports. It's really getting old, don't you think? Reshaping your body and changing your looks can be life-changing, but it's not going to instantaneously bring you success. One should never forget their roots and where they came from, because it influenced you into who you are today and it fuels your drive as to where you are heading tomorrow.

Hell, YES! "Anais Nin Goes To Hell" is Sinful Fun!
Inferno. Hades. The Netherworld. The Abyss. Perdition. The E train in New York City after midnight. No matter what term you use for "Hell", chances are that you'll never find an underworld as sexy, or as funny, or as inspiring as the one brought to you by Manhattan Theatre Works and Goode Productions in David Stallings' Anais Nin Goes To Hell. In the words of the titular character (played by Amanda Jones), "If this is Hell, Hell is Heaven!" The audience will feel the same way with this deliciously decadent new theater piece.
Anais (pronounced "Anna with an "EES") Nin, for those who don't know, was the iconic writer raised in France who made America her adopted home. Her large body of work included novels, critical studies, essays, and short stories. She was most famous, however, for her journals and her erotica, which were (and by some, still are…) considered scandalous. Throughout her life and well afterward, Nin the woman has been analyzed, revered, imitated, and criticized time and time again. One thing that everyone can agree upon, however, was that she was indeed a colorful character. When Nin shows up on an island off the River Styx (with her collection of NC-17 rated journals, of course…), she finds herself in equally interesting company: Andromeda (Mle Chester), Queen Victoria (Madalyn McKay), Cleopatra, Karen Carpenter (Hannah Seusy), Joan of Arc (Stephanie Willing) and Heloise (the French nun and writer, not the American columnist, played by Mel House). Wow! This is not just a trans-millennial Tupperware party, however. These women are all watching and waiting for something— and, for most of them, it's the great male love of their lives. The sexually restless Heloise is waiting for her famously forbidden paramour Peter Abelard, while virginal Andromeda sits tight for her fiancee Perseus. Imperious Queen Victoria waits for her husband Albert, while her royal rival, the equally headstrong Cleopatra, is focused on reuniting with her son Caesarion. Most ambitious of all, Christian warrior Joan of Arc is holding out for Jesus. As for the heartbroken Ms. Carpenter, she's sadly exiled on a nearby but separate island. (Apparently, Hell is an archipelago…) True, the play does contain some lighthearted K.C.-bashing… but the cast's laugh-out-loud rendition of "Superstar" is the ripest tomato in this garden of campy delights. Speaking of singing, Anais Nin is NOT singing "I'm Waiting for the Man" like the other women; in fact, the free-spirited femme who was notoriously married to two men at once is now happy to have escaped the male animal altogether…
…But not for long. As we approach Act 2, the sinewy Cleopatra (played by Nylda Mark with a generous dose of Josephine Baker-esque sex appeal) does a dance of sorcery and seduction to summon a man to the island. The dance works. However, when their long-legged hero arrives, the women realize they should have been, uhm… "more specific". Without giving too much away, let's just say that this British lord (Richard Lindenfelzer) is looking for something a little more "wilde". In the meantime, Anais Nin's arrival to the island of women adds some unexpected sexual tension, some erotic awakenings among her island-mates, and yet another male visitor (James Edward Becton) summoned by Cleopatra. This time, it's personal for the Egyptian queen.
As you may have gathered by now, Anais Nin Goes To Hell is campy fun, with a seemingly infinite number of priceless comedic lines by a diverse, talented cast. There are also an equal number of ageless (and in some ways, more relevant in 2016 than ever…) words of wisdom courtesy of our Ms. Nin, such as "The love between women is a refuge and an escape into harmony." Underneath the comedy, there are serious themes about female empowerment. This is the "right to choose" of a far broader variety: the right for women and their like-minded male allies to choose happiness, and also the right to fight for that happiness. Anais Nin Goes to Hell is bolstered by energetic direction by Antonio Minino and fabulous costumes by Izzy Fields. This is a trip to Hell worth going to, in a hand-basket or otherwise.
Anais Nin Goes To Hell runs through Saturday, October 29 at The Theater at the 14th Street Y", 344 East 14th Street, New York City. For more information and tickets, visit www.14StreetY.org/AnaisNin.

Something like the following is the general idea but it negates the value. I need it to not match rows with "monkey business" unless they also have "monkey" without "business" after it elsewhere in the text.
SELECT * FROM table
MATCH (title) against ('+monkey ~"monkey business"' IN BOOLEAN MODE);

Is it possible? Thanks in advance for any help you can give! I realise this could be done with better search engines, at the moment fulltext is all I can use.

A: I tend to be a little conservative and cautious when using FULLTEXT indexes because FULLTEXT indexes has a nasty habit of playing head games with the MySQL Query Optimizer.
Try getiing all monkey rows first in a subquery, and then eliminate "monkey business":
SELECT * FROM
(
    SELECT id,title FROM table
    WHERE MATCH (title) against ('+monkey' IN BOOLEAN MODE)
) A
WHERE LOCATE('monkey business',title) = 0;

You could also do the reverse by getting all rows that do not have "monkey business" and then scan for any rows with monkey:
SELECT * FROM
(
    SELECT id,title FROM table
    WHERE MATCH (title) against ('-"monkey business"' IN BOOLEAN MODE)
) A
WHERE LOCATE('monkey',title) > 0;

The second query would make the temp table from the subquery much larger and would take longer to scan for the outside WHERE clause. Go with the first query.
Give it a Try !!!

I've installed the uclibc-based stage3 tarball x86 (because the PC has a small RAM). Then I tried to merge networkmanager, which requires consolekit to be merged with "polkit" USE flag enabled. This flag pulls in a dependency of policykit.
However, it seems that policykit cannot be compiled against uclibc, and it fails to link because of lack of some functions.

Rogues by Patrick Radden Keefe
From the prize-winning, New York Times bestselling author of Empire of Pain and Say Nothing, twelve enthralling stories of skulduggery and intrigue by one of the most decorated journalists of our time
Patrick Radden Keefe has garnered prizes ranging from the National Magazine Award to the Orwell Prize to the National Book Critics Circle Award for his meticulously-reported, hypnotically-engaging work on the many ways people behave badly. Rogues brings together a dozen of his most celebrated articles from The New Yorker. As Keefe says in his preface "They reflect on some of my abiding preoccupations: crime and corruption, secrets and lies, the permeable membrane separating licit and illicit worlds, the bonds of family, the power of denial."
Keefe brilliantly explores the intricacies of forging $150,000 vintage wines, examines whether a whistleblower who dared to expose money laundering at a Swiss bank is a hero or a fabulist, spends time in Vietnam with Anthony Bourdain, chronicles the quest to bring down a cheerful international black market arms merchant, and profiles a passionate death penalty attorney who represents the "worst of the worst," among other bravura works of literary journalism.
The appearance of his byline in The New Yorker is always an event, and collected here for the first time readers can see his work forms an always enthralling but deeply human portrait of criminals and rascals, as well as those who stand up against them.

"Yea, even so he shall be led, crucified, and slain, the flesh becoming subject even unto death, the will of the Son being swallowed up in the will of the Father. And thus God breaketh the bands of death, having gained the victory over death; giving the Son power to make intercession for the children of men— Having ascended into heaven, having the bowels of mercy; being filled with compassion towards the children of men; standing betwixt them and justice; having broken the bands of death, taken upon himself their iniquity and their transgressions, having redeemed them, and satisfied the demands of justice."

"How consoling it is to those who are called upon to mourn the loss of dear friends in death, to know that we will again be associated with them! How encouraging to all who live according to the revealed principles of truth, perhaps more especially to those whose lives are pretty well spent, who have borne the heat and burden of the day, to know that ere long we shall burst the barriers of the tomb, and come forth living and immortal souls, to enjoy the society of our tried and trusted friends, no more to be afflicted with the seeds of death, and to finish the work the Father has given us to do!"
