It is a little known fact that, even as its armies were attempting the conquest of the United States Territory of New Mexico, and as its politicians were debating the creation of a Territory of Arizona, the Confederate States of America was engaged in a covert attempt to wrest the northern states of Mexico from that Republic and to annex them to the new Southern nation. Had this attempt been successful, it might have changed the outcome of the war. It is this little known, but highly significant episode of the War Between the States that will be examined in this article.
Before delving into the details of Confederate espionage and intrigue in Mexico, it would be well to examine the reasons for Confederate interest in its neighbor to the South. The Confederacy in 1861 saw both potential riches to be gained in Mexico, and the opportunity to acquire, without much cost, those riches.
The riches of Mexico were of many kinds. Of course, since the days of the Spanish Conquistadors, Mexico had been a source of great mineral wealth, especially gold and silver. The mines of the northern Mexican states of Chihuahua and Sonora were productive, and would have been a definite asset to the new Southern nation. And Mexico had other, non-mineral riches to offer as well. At a time when the United States was beginning to impose a blockade of Southern ports, Mexico offered a virtually unblockadeable Pacific coastline with one of the finest harbors in the Western Hemisphere, at Guaymas.1 With the Union blockade thus defeated, and with the specie of Northern Mexico in its hands, the Confederacy could have imported whatever it needed to wage war. The material advantages of the Union over the Confederacy would have melted like dew beneath the morning sun.
Finally, it should also be stated that at least part of Confederate interest in Mexico stemmed from a desire, on the part of some of its politicians, to gain territory for the expansion of slavery.3 This was not a new desire...indeed, slavery advocates had howled with rage when, in the wake of U.S. victory in the Mexican War (1846-48), the United States had not incorporated the whole of Mexico into the United States, rather than absorbing only the most northern tier of Mexican provinces, as was the case. In 1861 there were many Southerners (perhaps not a majority, but at the very least a highly vocal minority) who believed that the expansion of slavery into new territories would strengthen the Confederacy, and Mexico would provide those new lands.
The collapse of its credibility with the Mexican central government did not end the Confederacy's intrigues in Mexico. For, as mentioned earlier, there still remained the possibility of direct negotiations with the semi-independent Governors of the northern Mexican provinces. Indeed, that option presented itself soon after Pickett's departure, although, for reasons that are not entirely clear, the Confederacy did not act upon it.
At about the same time that President Davis was inserting a spy into Monterey, the Confederate Governor of Arizona, John Robert Baylor, was doing the same for the Mexican provinces of Sonora and Chihuahua.12 Baylor's spy (politely designated an "agent"), Jose Augustin Quintero, was an interesting character.13 He was a Cuban revolutionary who was born at Havana, Cuba, in 1829. He was educated at Harvard, but on account of the death of his father was unable to complete his course, and engaged in teaching Spanish at Cambridge, Massachusetts, until about 1850, when he returned to Cuba, and became the publisher of a newspaper at Havana. Supporting the patriotic Cuban movement of 1850-51, he was thrown in prison by the Spanish authorities and sentenced to be shot, but had the good fortune to escape from Morro Castle. Taking boat for Texas, he made his home at Richmond, Texas, studied law, and was admitted to the practice. He also obtained appointment as translator of land titles at Austin, and was thus engaged until 1859, when he went to New York city and became connected with a Spanish-American illustrated paper, edited by George D. Squires, the Illustracion-Americano. When hostilities began in 1861 he decided to cast his lot with his Texas friends, and returning to that State, enlisted at San Antonio as a privat in the Quitman Rifles, which he accompanied to Virginia. In the latter part of 1862 he was transferred to the diplomatic service, and appointed confidential agent of the Confederate States government in Mexico. It was in this capacity that he worked for Baylor. Quintero was charged with the collection and transmittal of "accurate and minute information regarding the population, area, farming potentiality, mineral resources, commercial possibilities, and the extent and state of industry" in these two northern Mexican provinces.14 It seems quite probable that Quintero's reports from Chihuahua and Sonora influenced the later decision of the Confederate authorities to open direct negotiations with the Governors of those Mexican states.
In selecting Reily for this mission, Sibley made what seemed to be an excellent choice. Reily, a Texas lawyer in civilian life, had been a member of the diplomatic corps of the old Republic of Texas. He was friendly to, and understood, the Mexican people, and was considered an able man for any mission to Mexico. Furthermore, he had been, since his teens, renowned for his skills in the art of oratory, and thus he promised to be a very persuasive negotiator. However, as one historian has pointed out, he seems to have been an "incorrigible enthusiast," who was "prone to accept half-promises as agreements, and diplomatic double-talk as indicative of progress."18 We shall see how these qualities affected his missions.
Upon arriving at the palace Reily presented Governor Terrazas with the notes with which General Sibley had entrusted him. Terrazas, upon having them translated, expressed willingness to open negotiations on the points contained in the notes (right of transit over Mexican territory for Confederate troops, and denial of that right to the Union, right of pursuit of hostile Indians into Mexican territory, and the purchase of supplies in Chihuahua for the Confederate armies).20 These negotiations were not to prove fruitful, and it would seem that Reily was mislead into believing he had achieved more than he actually had.
Why did Reily and Terrazas interpret the results of their discussions so differently? There are several possible reasons for this. One possibility is the language barrier. Reily spoke no Spanish, and Terrazas no English, and in the course of translation meaning could have been altered for one or both of them. Another possibility is the deliberate deception of Reily by Terrazas. Terrazas may indeed have VERBALLY assured Reily of his agreement on the concessions requested, and later, in writing, repudiated his verbal agreements. This would seem to be a more likely answer to the mystery at hand. As one historian has stated, Terrazas was "between three fires, the Union, the Confederacy, and Mexico," and it seems likely that he simply chose not to add fuel to one fire for fear of being burned in return by the others.24 And there is one possibility as well. It is not impossible that Reily himself exaggerated the success of his negotiations, either out of the incorrigible enthusiasm which was a feature of his personality, or as a deliberate attempt to ingratiate himself with his commander. In either case, the letter sent by Terrazas to Sibley would have revealed Reily's exaggerations for what they were.
With the end of the diplomatic missions of James Reily to Sonora and Chihuahua, and especially after the collapse of the Confederate Territory of Arizona, Confederate aspirations in Mexico dwindled away into nothing. Eventually the affair would be virtually forgotten, even by historians. Yet the Confederate attempt to annex the northern provinces of Mexico was an important episode in the history of the War Between the States. If the Confederates had been successful, the advantages gained might have shifted the balance of power in their favor, and their struggle for independence might have had a different outcome. For this, if for no other reason, the story of Confederate diplomacy and intrigue in Mexico deserves to be told.

Making Real-World Evidence "Real" for Patients
As real-world evidence (RWE) becomes more broadly used in health care, it's important to ensure that patients understand what RWE is, determine and address the questions and concerns patients have, and determine when RWE evidence can be trusted to guide patient treatment decisions. The National Health Council held a July 31 roundtable to discuss these issues.
Understanding how treatments work in the "real world" can help improve and inform our health care decision-making, such as determining which treatments physicians prescribe, what treatments clinical guidelines recommend, or what treatments payers will cover. As real-world evidence (RWE) becomes more broadly used in health care, it's important to ensure that patients understand what RWE is, determine and address the questions and concerns patients have, and determine when RWE evidence can be trusted to guide patient treatment decisions.
That's why on July 31, the National Health Council (NHC), with support from the National Pharmaceutical Council (NPC), Johnson and Johnson, Eli Lilly and the Pharmaceutical Manufacturers of America (PhRMA), brought together representatives from the patient community for roundtable discussions about how to address these issues.
"We have a real opportunity to make sure that the patient voice is heard on real-world evidence," said Marc Boutin, JD, NHC CEO. "Patients have a general notion of what RWE is and assume it's already being used, but the challenge is that it's not very well understood."
Real-world evidence has been in use for a long time, but it has grown in importance through improved information technology and our ability to collect and analyze data. This evidence can show, for example, how treatments work among similar patients based on their age, demographics and genes; what a disease course might look like in the coming years; or what treatment options might work best in diverse patient populations. RWE is meant to complement randomized clinical trials—studies that are most commonly used for Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of a treatment—and add to what we already know about how a treatment works.
"Patients are comfortable with the use of RWE to improve quality, identify the side effects of drugs after they are on the market, and improve the way treatments are used," said Eleanor Perfetto, PhD, NHC senior vice president of strategic initiatives.
"To be clear, we aren't talking about throwing away clinical trials, but supplementing that information and making it better to inform our health decisions. We want to work with patients to figure out how we can do this best," said Jennifer Graff, PharmD, NPC vice president of comparative effectiveness research.
During the roundtable discussions, participants explored how patients define and use RWE, communicate about it, consider their questions and concerns, and understand the kinds of tools and skills patient groups need to review and use RWE, among other topics. In particular, participants noted that patients are willing to share their data, but need to understand how it is being used. They also believe that the data should be accessible to a broad range of stakeholders who can analyze and learn from the data and use it to improve health care outcomes. Yet in order for this information to be utilized by patients and others who are making treatment decisions, the data needs to come from a trusted source and be translated into understandable language.
Having patient input on the use of RWE is especially important as the FDA takes steps to establish a program to evaluate the potential uses of RWE in regulatory decisions, such as amending a product label or monitoring the safety of a treatment. FDA, in conjunction with the Duke-Margolis Center for Health Policy, is hosting the first of several meetings on this topic beginning September 13. The National Academy of Medicine is also planning meetings on this topic.
The output from these conversations will be incorporated into an NHC white paper and could be used to help inform the appropriate use of RWE to inform health decisions. The NHC white paper will be submitted to the Duke-Margolis Center for Health Policy for use at its upcoming FDA meeting.

This letter expresses my deep appreciation for the lessons you provided at Legendary Oaks here in Hempstead, Texas. Your approach to teaching the game has the potential of revolutionizing the way golfers learn. Your integration of the physical, mental and technical aspects of teaching and learning golf is superb.
Hopefully you will consider publishing your techniques soon. I have moved from a 32 handicap to a 26 handicap and have not shot above 93 since your lesson. You have laid the foundation for me to progress in improving my swing and my enjoyment of the game. Thank you.
Golfers will experience a "WOW" factor when attending a clinic or demonstration with Jon Manack. Jon will share information that is neither theory or opinion-based. The information is backed by science and communicated in such a way that there is no misinterpretation. Unlike most instructors, Jon Manack will actually demonstrate why this information is critical to longevity in the sport and why most golfers fail to find a repeating golf swing and truly "pure" it.
Jon Manack will explain and demonstrate how any golfer can create effortless power and decrease the chance of injury in their golf swing. The information will give golfers something they all strive for... clarity of their own swing mechanics and an understanding of what freedom in the golf swing really feels like.
• Pre-round Clinic 30 min – 1 hr.
• "Beat the Pro" 3 – 6 hr.
• Consisting of one Professional Golfer on designated par 3 competing with each consenting individual of each group for closest to the hole. Prizes and proceeds will be up to the discretion of the Tournament Committee.
• Why you are getting the results that you're getting?

Home Breaking Retirement: the new study that worries
Retirement: the new study that worries
Do retirees make enough money? A number of them are struggling very hard to earn their bread, since 9.5% of them live on less than 1,102 euros per month and per person. Some, as is the case of Bahia, do not even receive 500 euros per month. "I'm hungry, but I keep my dignity," explained the sixty-year-old living in Woippy (Moselle, Grand-Est), in our columns. Alas, as Planet has already been able to remind us, this situation is unfortunately not as rare as it seems: the Terre de Senior site recently conducted a survey of its Internet users. 75% of them explained that they did not have enough to live decently.
In fact, it must be remembered, retirees are not the most affected by poverty in France. Overall, precariousness mainly concerns 16-24 year olds, 22% of whom do not manage to earn enough to reach the poverty line. By way of comparison, in the national average (which refers to all age groups), the poverty rate is estimated at 14%, according to the National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies (Insee ). However, that doesn't mean you shouldn't worry!
The fact is, Capital reminds us, that the purchasing power of retirees is eroding. The Department of Research, Studies, Evaluation and Statistics (DREES) has just published its annual overview of the standard of living in retirement and this is cause for concern… and for good reason!
In constant euros, retirees have to deal with less. And this is all the more true for all those who have not yet liquidated their rights: from one generation to another, as the economist Alexandre Delaigue explained in our columns, the level of life falls further once cessation of activity has occurred. This is the very consequence of wanting to maintain the weight of pensions at 14% of GDP even though the number of insured is increasing…
It is not because the standard of living of retirees is falling that pensions appear lower, recalls Capital, however; based on information from the DREES. "Pensions for all schemes combined increase by 0.5% on average between the end of 2020 and the end of 2021 in current euros, but fall by 2.2% in constant euros due to high inflation", specifies the official body. .
To fully understand the nature of the problem, it is necessary to make the difference between current euros and constant euros. The first designate the absolute amount of the retirement pension, while the second designate what it is possible to buy with this same amount. In short, retirees do not receive less strictly speaking, but what they receive today does not allow them to buy as much as in the past.
For the time being, Emmanuel Macron has undertaken to revalue the retirement pensions of French women and men who have already liquidated their rights. This, as Planet was able to explain, will increase by around 4% in the summer. Similarly, he has promised to increase the minimum contribution of former workers who have contributed enough to claim the full rate as part of his pension reform. For them, there is therefore nothing to worry about. For others, however…
The trend has been reversing for almost five years now, continues Capital. Since 2017, explains the DREES, "the pension of new retirees has been slightly lower than that of all retirees".

From the Vault 566: Jimi Hendrix, Part 1 of 4
On this episode of From the Vaultwe celebrate one of the great creative musicians of the 20th century, Jimi Hendrix, through the sounds of a four-part documentary titled Jimi Hendrix.
In 1982, twelve years after Hendrix's untimely death at the age of 27, a team of talented producers (including Bari Scott, Craig Street and Don West) from Pacifica's flagship station KPFA 94.1 FM - Berkeley enlisted the help of biographer David Henderson, author of Jimi Hendrix: Voodoo Child of the Aquarian Age, to explore the idea of a comprehensive radio production celebrating the life of the legendary guitarist. Their collaboration resulted in a captivating four-hour documentary that compiles previously unheard and rare recordings exploring this musical legend; it includes music, of course, but also interviews with the people who knew Hendrix best. We'll hear from members of Jimi's family, blues singer John Hammond (who befriended the young Hendrix in Greenwich Village in 1966), Chas Chandler from The Animals (who brought Hendrix to England and became his manager), Noel Redding, Ornette Coleman, Rahsaan Roland Kirk, Stevie Wonder, John Lee Hooker, and others.
Part one of four.

History of the School of Dental Medicine University of Zagreb
The School of Dental Medicine, University of Zagreb, is the only autonomous higher education institution in the Republic of Croatia to provide programs for doctors of dental medicine.
The history of the School of Dental Medicine, within the aegis of the University of Zagreb, involves three phases of development:
The initial period as the higher education institution, from 1922 to 1948;
Founding and enacting of the Department of Odontology at the School of Medicine, University of Zagreb, from 1948 to 1962;
Founding and thriving of the School of Dental Medicine from 1962, throughout more than five decades.
Dr. Eduard Radošević (1884-1938) is considered to be the initiator of modern dentistry in Croatia. After his studies in Vienna, he shifted to Berlin for his medical specialization. At the School of Medicine, University of Zagreb, he founded the Department of Odontology in the 1922, wherein he acted as educator. In 1933, a Dental Ambulatory was established within the Otorhinolaryngology Clinic of the School of Medicine, University of Zagreb, only to become a department the following year. The Department of Dentistry then became the Dental Clinic in 1935, its head being Professor Eduard Radošević, alongside two other assistants, still within the Otorhinolaryngology Clinic. Subsequently, the Dental Clinic became independent in 1939, and developed into the Department of Odontology at the School of Medicine.
Relationship between odontology and general medicine, explication of the concept of dentistry, scopes of dental surgery and mandible and face surgery, organization of activities, and system of education, all those questions are in the very core of the new Department of Odontology at the School of Medicine in Zagreb. The ideas of Professor Ivo Čupar, Ph.D were fashioned in that very manner, and served as a basis for founding the Department of Odontology in the academic year of 1948/49. That academic year there were 47 freshmen of the dentistry studies, the first to enroll in Croatia. A 40% of the total study curriculum was dedicated to professional study courses for dentists, while study courses in the field of general medical formed the remaining 60%.
In the year 1951, following the initiative of the Council for Higher medical education, the Ministry of Public Health of the Republic of Croatia issued the Order on the organization of the Department of Odontology in relation to the School of Medicine in Zagreb. In the year 1957, the Department of Odontology grew into the Dentistry Section of the School of Medicine, University of Zagreb, while the graduates thereinafter acquired the title of doctor medicinae stomatologicae. Organizational changes took place during 1958 and 1959. The renovated building in Gundulićeva 5 became home to five departments: Department of Dental Surgery, Department of Dental Prosthetics, Department of Dental Pathology, Department of Mandible and Teeth Regulation, and Department of Pediatric and Preventive Dentistry. In the academic year 1960/1961, the first Vice Dean was appointed to oversee the studies; it was Professor Miroslav Suvin, Ph.D.
The breakthrough came in the academic year 1962/1963. The dental studies finally grew out of the School of Medicine, University of Zagreb. Following the decree of the Croatian Parliament of the 26th of September 1962, the independent School of Dentistry was founded within the University of Zagreb.
With the progress of all biomedical research areas, dental medicine developed into a professional discipline on its own right, consequently leading to formation of independent dentistry schools of higher education in Europe and America. Within the frame of those tendencies, and thanks to the efforts of our leading experts, the Parliament of the Republic of Croatia appointed the independent School of Dental Medicine, University of Zagreb, in 1962. Professor Živko Bolf, Ph.D, was elected to be its very first Dean. Herewith some important requirements were met which enabled further educational, scientific and professional advancement. During the decades that followed, to this very day, the curriculum has been keeping pace with the modern developments, and fresh educational content has been consistently introduced.
Within the School of Dental Medicine, a total of eight institutes were established. In the year 1971 it was decided that the General Hospital "Dr. Mladen Stojanović" (today the Clinical Hospital "Sestre milosrdnice") was to become a clinical teaching base for the students of dental medicine, whereby the issue of clinical medical courses was solved. As of 1995, the Clinical Hospital "Dubrava" also became the School's teaching base for a small number of clinical courses in dentistry. Teaching basic medical courses is regulated by a contractual agreement with subject teachers from the School of Medicine, University of Zagreb. In addition, many of national and international renowned experts became visiting professors at our School.
The modern society's ever increasing focus on cognition has also been recognized by the School of Dental Medicine, University of Zagreb. Thus, in the past ten years, it has become the profession's main foundation in the Republic of Croatia, thanks to its structure, teaching organization, and its curricula. By signing the Bologna declaration in 2001, at the Ministerial Conference in Prague, Croatia committed itself to modifying its system of higher education by the year 2010, so as to comply with the Bologna principles. The preparations for implementing the Bologna Declaration at the School of Dental Medicine presented many a challenge, and requirements that needed to be met. Consequently, this period saw numerous changes on all levels of the School's functioning.


Our first set of questions asked retailers about their energy teams and budgets to get a better context for what "energy management" really means at a national retail company.
Retailers were then asked to consider their company's progress in twenty-three dimensions of energy management.
The twenty-three dimensions and corresponding maturity stages come from RILA's Energy Management Leadership Model. The Leadership Model is a standalone roadmap to help retail energy managers optimize their programs. Retailers can use the matrix to first to baseline the maturity of their program and then to identify the highest leverage opportunities for improvement.
In the survey, retailers were asked to select the maturity stage that most closely represents their current state and then the maturity stage that most closely reflects where they plan to build their program over the next two years. There is no prescribed progression; the activities documented for each maturity stage are meant to detail some of the typical activities as programs develop.
This report was developed through an online survey disseminated in March of 2017; 44 retail companies responded, representing more than 100,000 locations and $900 billion in revenue.

The "China galleons" greatly stimulated spatial interactions between Acapulco and Manila, 15,000 km away. Many Mexicans settled in Manila and scores of Nahuatl words entered Tagalog, the main Filipino language. These included atole, avocado, balsa, cacao, calabaza, camote, chico, chocolate, coyote, nana(y), tata(y), tocayo and zapote.
As well as vocabulary, some aspects of Mexican cuisine, customs and dress were also introduced to the Philippines, along with a variety of plants and flowers. In addition, the Filipino currency has the same name as Mexico's: the peso.
A large number of Filipinos migrated in the other direction, escaping from their life of servitude aboard a galleon by jumping ashore on the coasts of Colima and Guerrero. One sizable Filipino community settled in Coyuca, on the Costa Grande, 50 km north of Acapulco. Coyuca was apparently known as Filipino Town at one point in its early history.
The Filipinos settling in Mexico introduced mangoes and a game called "cara y cruz" (heads and tails). The settlers were known locally as "Chinese Indians" and brought their expertise in the cultivation and use of palm trees with them. In Tagalog, palm fronds are known as "palapa" and by the end of the 18th century, this name was in use, too, for the palm-roofed shelters which remain a distinctive style of architecture along Mexico's coasts.The coconut palm's sap is known locally as tuba. Filipino newcomers fermented the resulting coconut wine into a potent drink. Henry Bruman, a University of California geographer, documented how Filipino seamen on the Manila Galleon also introduced simple stills, for making coconut brandy, to western Mexico during the late 16th century. These techniques were quickly adopted by Mexicans who were then able to turn the hearts of their native agave plants into tequila.
This is an excellent example of how developments in transportation can encourage cultural exchanges, and diminish the social, economic and cultural distance between places.
According to some historians, Mexico's "China Poblana," the woman who supposedly arrived from the East as a slave during the early 1600s and subsequently captured the hearts and minds of the people of Puebla, was actually a Filipino noblewoman who had arrived in Mexico aboard one of the Spanish galleons.
Mexico's independence from Spain (1821) brought an end to the Manila–Acapulco galleons, though the network of shipping links then expanded from Veracruz to New Orleans and New York.
Mexico-Phillipines friendship has continued down the years.
For instance, in the second world war, several Mexican air force pilots, in the elite Escuadrón 201, were sent by the US government to lend their support in the Philippines. The pilots were decorated by the Philippine's government for their heroism.
I want to study Spanish in Mexico but I have no money. I hope the Mexico government can sponsor my financial expenses while I study in Mexico.
This sounds like a very interesting project, and we hope you are able to find a suitable source of funding. We are unaware of any Mexican government funds for non-Mexicans who want to study Spanish in Mexico. Perhaps there is a cultural organization in your home country that might be able to finance your studies?
The tequila and the use of nanay and tatay who knew it was a product of the relations between the two countries?
it's just funny how they Filipinos were considered and called Chinese. Then again, my cousin who is a Colombian mestizo is considered to be "Chinese" looking in Colombia even if he really doesn't look Chinese at all!!!
It's such a shame though, if they weren't called Chinese then maybe the Filipinos and the Mexicans will be more aware of the close relationship they share. The Tequila and the words nanay and tatay are very much integrated into everyday society meaning the influence of the two countries are supposed to be prfound!
To study the Philippine's hispanic heritage one must also review the relations it had with Mexico.
Thanks for your article! I have a question though: do you know what historian or historians in particular claim that Catharina San Juan, the "China Poblana" was actually Filipina? I was just in Mexico City and someone was talking about her, but didn't say anything about the possibility of her being Filipina! Thanks.
I haven't personally seen the original, but I believe Francisco de la Maza was one of them [the link is to wikipedia entry] in his Catarina de San Juan: Princesa de la India y visionaria de Puebla. The commonly told version of the story (with far more details than the brief mention in our post) is given in the Wikipedia entry for China Poblana (but sadly without adequate referencing).
In the Philippines, we have a great devotion to the Black Nazarene, a sacred statue of the Christ carrying his cross and (usually) in a genuflecting pose. It is of dark hard wood. It is said to have come from a town in Mexico way back in the early 1600s. But it doesn't mention exactly where. The stranded officers and crew of a galleon ship had prayed for fair weather and safety. When the skies cleared up a bit, the captain requested the parish priest to allow his men to take the Black Nazarene (perhaps a copy to spare) along with them to guide them home safely. I have some questions: 1. Is the Black Nazarene devotion still practiced in Mexico? 2. Where & how is this devotion practiced particularly? Many thanks for your interesting write-ups.
You win "question of the week"! Thanks for your very interesting information about the Black Nazarene. I have absolutely no idea what the answers to your questions are, and will try to do some digging into the relevant history, but hope that someone else reading this is able to offer more help.
Beyond the fact that the Black Nazarene was apparently carved in Mexico, I can find no references to the Black Nazarene (or devotion to the Black Nazarene) in Mexico. If anyone reading this knows more about this interesting link between Mexico and the Philippines, then please let us know.
Oh! Thanks for your quick reply. Actually, the wikipedia article is not that accurate. I'm not a chemist, but I don't know if burning ivory would result in it looking like dark wood. My graduate thesis back in 2001 was on the aesthetics in the Black Nazarene devotion, part of which became a chapter in a book. Anyway, I have to give a talk in a couple of days on this again so I'm just clarifying a few things. And by the way, do I get a prize for winning "question of the week"? Thanks for answering. More power to you.
Sorry, but there is no tangible prize for question of the week, beyond getting a faster-than-usual response!
I hope your presentation goes well, and should you discover more about Black Nazarene devotion in Mexico, please let us know.
Thank you for the Richard Perry link you shared. I like scrolling down his informative blog, but there were no Black Nazarene images in the fantastic photos he posted. I will ask him about it one of these days. A Mexican priest told me there is a Black Nazarene in the Zocalo Catedral. And yes, my presentation went well. I've been reading the other posts in this site too, like on the recent earthquake. poor baby!
Glad your presentation went well.
There's certainly a Black Christ in Mexico City cathedral, but (so far as I know) depicted on the cross, not carrying the cross.


Each exercise was followed by a run about 1/10 of a mile.
Once everyone was done it was partner sprints with a line drill style of increasing distances.
With the workout complete the peeps headed their different directions and started their days.

DISTRICT UPDATE 8-11-2020
From the Director of Schools
As promised, the purpose of this update is to establish our schedule for traditional learners over the next two-week period. We appreciate that the staggered attendance model is different from how most families hoped to start the school year, but we are so proud of the way students have cooperated with school administrators and teachers to embrace the new COVID protocols. We are encouraged by the COVID statistics that have continued to show improvement in our community over the last two weeks. We are also proud of the way everyone continues to embrace change as a part of our day-to-day lives. Thank you for all you are doing at home to support our schools during this challenging and constantly changing time.
ILLNESS:
Before moving our attention to the new schedule, please allow me to appeal to parents and guardians about sickness. We are finding the vast majority of reported symptoms of illness in our schools turn out to be non-COVID related. The issue, during this pandemic, is that we must treat all students according to our protocols under COVID, so these non-COVID related illnesses can end up presenting even greater scheduling challenges to families. What might normally be a one day issue turns out to be a problem for 10-14 days.
Should your child develop any COVID-like symptoms, please keep your child at home and follow the steps shared last week on the decision tree (LINK HERE):
Notify your child's school
Consult your healthcare provider
Isolate the child at home for 10 days from the onset of the symptoms
The period of isolation can be reduced by doing one of the following:
------------Confirmation from a healthcare provider of an alternate explanation for the symptoms; or
------------Child has documentation of a negative COVID-19 test after the onset of symptoms with no fever and improvement in symptoms for 72 hours.
Child must check-in with school nurse upon returning to school
As always, you can call your school clinic with any questions or concerns about the protocols in place or general health-related questions.
The single best thing you can do to contribute to the health and safety of all students and staff is to keep your student at home when he or she is unwell.
COVID UPDATE:
While we have decision trees, notification letters, and a district Response Plan, we have learned there are mitigating factors in making responsive decisions. It is often a judgment call. We have also developed a full appreciation for the vague and complex nature of the symptoms for COVID-19. The comprehensive list of symptoms is daily occurring in our classrooms through sinus infections, seasonal allergies, stomach viruses, strep throat, back-to-school jitters, COVID anxiety, etc.
Our school nurses are working with students and families, trying to determine the level of symptoms. While we do not want to be over-reactive, we feel we must label a student as potential, COVID symptomatic if they show a combination of symptoms, resulting in a 10-day isolation notice. To date, almost all of our students who have been sent home from school with any COVID-like symptoms, have all received negative results. We are so grateful for this trend. Nonetheless, we know the 10-day isolation for symptoms adds annoyance and challenges to the lives of families.
Based on our early observations and school statistics, we are keenly aware the likelihood of COVID symptom(s) being daily demonstrated in our classrooms and will only increase with the return of students and seasons of other unrelated illness.
We are going to move into the practice of not contacting other families regarding symptomatic cases within the school unless there are mitigating variables regarding the frequency and potential exposure level within a class. We will continue to focus on the notification of positive, confirmed cases and conduct contact tracing for 14-day isolations for those positive cases.
AUGUST 17 -28
For the next two weeks, starting August 17, MCS TRADITIONAL LEARNERS will attend school as follows:
K-3: NO CHANGE - Monday through Friday, on-campus
4-7: THIS IS A CHANGE - Monday through Friday, on-campus
8-12: NO CHANGE - Continue with the staggered attendance model in place today (see SCHEDULE REMINDER below)
MCS DIGITAL LEARNERS: NO CHANGE - Continue to follow all attendance and academic requirements set by your teacher.
SCHEDULE REMINDER:
For the period of August 17-28, TRADITIONAL LEARNERS in grades 8 through 12 will attend school as noted below:
2020-21 CALENDAR APPROVED
The academic calendar for NEXT school year (2021-2022) was approved by the School Board last evening and is attached below. While the overall structure remains the same, you will find a change on the first two days of school. The staggered start was such a success for students, teachers, and administrators this year, we have agreed to use it moving forward. Again, that is only for the first two days of school in 2021-2022. DOCUMENT LINK
OUR SERVICE GOAL:
GET THE MOST STUDENTS IN FRONT OF THE MOST TEACHERS
FOR THE MOST DAYS
IN THE YEAR.
We will follow our operation plans to implement a consistent onsite school schedule
in two-week intervals.
We will announce the attendance plans for August 31-Sept. 11
by Wednesday, August 26.

My doctor told me that I cannot have implants and that I need dentures/bridges!
I have placed many implants and there have only been a handful of cases in which implants were not an option due to a decrease in the horizontal distance between the teeth. Implantation was successful in all other cases. Occasionally, preimplantation procedures that ultimately enable the implantation may be required. In order to be successful in implantology, one must be familiar with, learn, and apply all surgical techniques: bone grafting, lower sinus lifting, block grafting, using of fibrous and other membranes and using the best and state-of-the-art devices, methods, and procedures. Given that this is the case, implantation will be possible for almost all patients.
If I undergo implantation I will not be able to get an MRI!
Implants are made from titanium which, apart from being extremely hard and light, is non-magnetic. Because of these qualities, all endoprostheses (materials that are permanently implanted into an organism) including implants, are made from titanium. All prosthetic replacements meant to replace a lost tooth are made from non-magnetic metals.
I cannot have implants because I suffer from high blood pressure and diabetes!
High blood pressure is not a contraindication for implantation and neither is controlled diabetes. Only certain systemic diseases are contraindications for implantation.
Will my body "accept" or "reject" an implant?
Implants are made from titanium, which is immunologically inert, which means that no physical reaction is necessary for the implant to "take". Osseointegration itself, i.e. the connection of the implant and the surrounding bone depends on new bone growth processes and the disintegration of the existing bone, while the immunological reaction of the organism is not important in this instance. Using plasma rich in growth factors significantly improves implant connection with a success rate of over 99.5%.
I have read that implants do not last long!
The longevity of an implant depends on several factors. The skill, education, and experience of the person doing the procedure, an implant made by a renowned manufacturer with a long scientific research history behind it, the implant procedure itself, prosthetic replacements installed according to trade guidelines, the patient's oral cavity hygiene, and regular follow-up appointments guarantee the implant's longevity.

Does "fake news" ever fool you? Or do you count yourself among the discriminating folks who know the difference between fake and real?
I hope so, but what if you were unable to discern the difference? What if your thinking was impaired?
What if you were like my brother?
My older sibling lives in Las Vegas and suffers from a lifelong, undiagnosed social disorder, perhaps a high-functioning autism. His condition draws him toward conspiracy theories. He distrusts mainstream media, modern medicine and even NASA since he believes the Earth is flat.
Two years ago, I attended his wife's funeral and found my brother living in squalid conditions. Worse yet, he was what medical folk describe as "non-compliant" with his medications. His failure to take his medicine left him nearly blind. Compounding his problems was his constant consumption of fake news.
The majority of us digest our daily news in a thoughtful way, finding the path of truth, often somewhere close to the middle. But my flesh-and-blood brother isn't like most people; he followed the crazies right down coo-coo lane. He gets most of his information from a far-right radio host named Alex Jones.
If you assume Jones is an obscure, harmless nut, think again.
Thousands listen to his radio and online show called InfoWars. Most listeners are entertained by his outlandish portrayal of conspiracy theories. But it's not entertaining when this fake news hurts real people, like my brother.
My brother absolutely swallows Jones's bizarre contention that the government staged the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in order to promote nationwide gun control. He's an outright evangelist for Jones' claim that the government enlisted 20 children and six adults to portray a "fake massacre" in 2012.
My older sibling, by 15 months, has been following Jones since the radio celebrity began claiming that the government staged the 9/11 attacks. Sadly, because of fake newsies like Jones, my brother, a Vegas resident, denies the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history when Steven Paddock killed 58 people on the Strip in 2016.
Yet Jones continues to cast a shadow over legitimate news. He's interviewed both candidate and President Donald Trump. The twitter-in-chief has even legitimized Jones by re-tweeting his words.
Perhaps we saw a step in the right direction this past week when Jones was permanently banned from Twitter and Apple, while Facebook and YouTube have so far only suspended his accounts. While some might argue a violation of First Amendment rights, most of you likely understand that social media barred Jones because he violated their policies, not the Constitution.
Gratefully, Jones will soon answer for the irrefutable harm he's done in spreading his fake news. A Sandy Hook family is suing him for defamation because they claim Jones's followers have mercilessly harassed and threatened them.
As people of faith, we only have one weapon against fake news: the truth. So I implore you that when you're tempted to repost a story on Facebook or email a tired urban rumor, take a breath and practice due diligence. You owe it to people like my brother to verify the story by consulting some of the multiple sources I am listing below.
The good news about my brother — the real news — is that I have placed him in a senior care facility where he gets round-the-clock help with his medication. He's much happier but not altogether clear. He's abandoned Mr. Jones but only because he's discovered that Jones believes that the Earth is indeed round.
Jesus promised that the truth would set us free. Help me free people like my brother. Avoid becoming a carrier of fake news. Check the story, corroborate it, verify it and don't gossip, because I assure you that fake news hurts real people.

FIG Restaurant – Los Angeles (Santa Monica)
Media Invite
VOSS, the fancy shmancy water company that serves its wares in sleek glass bottles, recently held a media dinner at FIG Restaurant in Santa Monica to get the word out about its 31 Days to Make a Difference campaign.*
Other than the fact that we were poured Voss water and were joined by representatives from the company, the focus this evening was squarely on Chef Raymond Garcia and the stellar food coming out of his kitchen. Subtlety is everything in situations like these.
Chef Garcia's menu is built around seasonal ingredients and simple preparations. Every plate this evening was inspired by and composed with what Chef found at the local farmers market.
The first course, which was comprised of a gently poached Glaum Ranch hen's egg with truffles and asparagus, gave us a glimpse of spring's impending bounty.
Slicing my knife through the center of the egg flooded the scene with a sheen of yolk. The neat slab of bread was delicious, but not hefty enough to soak up everything the egg had in store. The asparagus spears took care of the rest.
The following course featured rabbit prepared four different ways. While the bacon-wrapped loin had an unfortunate mealy texture, the croquette, ribs, and offal-stuffed greens were dynamite. That croquette was really something else. Accenting the various cuts and brightening up the plate were the snappiest English peas from McGrath Family Farm.
The food went from good to excellent with this next course of Sonoma lamb. The lamb was prepared to absolute perfection—tender yet toothsome and so very juicy. The accompanying accouterments, including harissa, olives, green garbanzos, leeks, house-made Merguez sausage, carrots, and lamb hearts, were thoughtful choices and just as strong as the star of the plate. This dish totally hit the mark.
For dessert, we were served a Pudwill Farms' blackberry pavlova with vanilla mouse and blackberry sorbet. Well composed fruity desserts like this one leave my palate refreshed and my sweet tooth sated.
FIG has been on my list of restaurants to try for years now, so I am stoked that I finally had the opportunity to taste Chef Garcia's superb cooking thanks to an invite from Voss. Only good things can happen when good food, good drinks, and good deeds come together.

The office in Steve Smith's Charlotte, N.C., home could pass as a closet in the Sistine Chapel, the arched ceiling painted in a greenish hue, clouds bleeding onto the woodwork, angels appearing to descend from their universe, a biblical story in each corner.
The front left corner is a painting of Eve leaning against Adam in the Garden of Eden, representing Smith's renewed relationship with his wife, Angie. The back left corner is of the Good Samaritan, representing Smith's heartbeat for Samaritan's Feet, a ministry that provides shoes for millions around the world.
It's as if Michelangelo somehow dipped his paintbrush in Steve Smith's soul and started painting.
The front right corner features Jesus standing in front of the Apostles at the Last Supper—love and sacrifice. The back right corner reveals Christ's empty tomb—hope and victory.
The words, "CREATOR, FAITHFUL, HOLY, WARRIOR, PROTECTOR" are carved into the wood beneath the paintings on the left; and the words "STRENGTH, POWER, REDEEMER, RIGHTEOUS, SOVEREIGN, MERCY" are on the right.
The art and architecture of his office points upward, challenging him to do the same with his life.
His office is not lavished with awards; the only visible trophy is a commemorative football for having the most receptions in Carolina Panthers history. There is a globe on his empty desk and a model sailboat on his bookshelf. Everything indicates he's a scholar, theologian, or romantic, not a five-time Pro Bowler.
There is peace here, in this office, in the stories on the ceiling, in the words on the woodwork, in the man who frequently sits at his mahogany desk in solitude.
A peace he has finally found.
Steve Smith thought about it. He thought about ending it all.
It was 2010, and he and his wife were legally separated. For half the season, he either lived with his teammate or stayed in his own guesthouse, as his wife and children slept in their extravagant, 12,000 square foot home 20 yards away. Sometimes Smith would look out the guesthouse bathroom window and see the side window of he and his wife's bedroom, where he should be, where he once was, before this chasm came between them, this lawn that felt more like a canyon.
"To live in a huge house and now be quarantined and sectioned off to one place, by your own actions, that's what you call 'eating crow,'" Smith says.
Smith thought about it. He thought about ending it all—not his marriage, it already seemed to be over, but his life.
It crossed his mind—sneaking out of his guesthouse in the middle of the night…walking 20 yards across the lawn to his main house, where his wife and children slept, separated from this husband and monster of a man he had become…grabbing his shotgun…placing the barrel in his mouth…and pulling the trigger.
It'd be easier, he would think to himself.
He wouldn't have to go through a divorce or try to fix his marriage, not if a bullet was in his brain. He wouldn't have to admit his mistakes or pay the consequences, not if an empty shotgun shell was lying on the floor. He wouldn't have to work on anything; he wouldn't have to be trapped in his sin and pride that prevented him from admitting it, not if he was dead. It'd be easier, he would think to himself. It'd be easier for everyone.
There was no "off" switch to his mind, no filter to his thoughts, no sleep. It was as if an irremovable black veil shielded him from beauty and hope, as if the devil himself built a tower in his mind.
Steve Smith's life was chaos, and one echoing click and sharp pop would be his portal to peace.
"There was a night where I thought about it," Smith says. "It was just a walk across to the main house to get my gun.
"But there is a guy that I marvel at in the Scriptures. I think he is amazing. A lot of people look at a guy like David, and they say, 'Man, he's successful.' But they don't understand the journey he went through.
Smith got out of the shower and dried off in the mirror.
It was 2002, and the Carolina Panthers were on the road against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. His career was taking off. After making the Pro Bowl the season before during his rookie season as a punt and kick returner, he earned a starting wide receiver role in 2002. He had every reason to look in the mirror and see a star. But he didn't.
The NFL changed him. He allowed the NFL to change him.
Smith opened the top dresser drawer in his hotel room and picked up the Gideon Bible, searching for something, searching for direction, but found nothing.
When Smith boarded the team bus, he started looking for the Panthers team chaplain, Mike Bunkley, desperate for someone to talk to. When they got to the stadium, Smith says Bunkley led him to Christ in the boiler room of the Buccaneers stadium. "Every time I walk in there, it's a special place," Smith says.
But Christianity is more of a process than a moment, and as the years went by, Smith's stardom continued to bloom. A seed of faith was planted that day in Tampa, but the NFL continued to change him. He led the Panthers in receptions (88) when they went to the Super Bowl in 2003; and after breaking his fibula in 2004, Smith bounced back in 2005 with the best season of his career with 103 receptions and 1,563 yards, earning him a share of the Comeback Player of the Year award.
He purchased a gigantic Charlotte home for him and his wife, Angie, who he married his senior year at the University of Utah, and his three children: Peyton, Baylee and Boston. It had a guesthouse and everything else you can imagine. He was flying high, both on and off the field, or so it seemed.
After nearly a decade of marriage, several children, and acquiring a staggering amount of money, Smith and Angie lost the connection they once had as students at the University of Utah.
By 2010, Smith and Angie were running out of air.
Steve Smith thought about it. He thought about taking his life.
But then he thought about how cowardly it would be. He thought about David in the Bible, how, if he could be called "a man after God's own heart," then maybe Steve Smith had a chance. He allowed God to break him, to humble him, to take Steve Smith, the clay, and have His way with it.
Smith was on a road to recovery, of reconciliation, of healing.
"At first, I said, 'Hey, you know what? I'm going to follow Christ because I want to show my wife what she's missing out on.' That didn't last very long. I realized that if I wanted to do it, I had to do it for the right reasons, to honor God. I did it because I wanted to live. I wanted to be free.
They started over, students at Utah again, holding hands and walking across campus. God took Smith to the woodshed, and Smith didn't leave until God said he could, broken but reborn, humbled but stronger.
Perhaps the most humbling thing about going to the woodshed is that God cares enough to take you there, to make you better, to save your marriage, to crush you, to extinguish your sin.
A year later, in April of 2011, Angie was diagnosed with lupus, a cruel, mysterious disease that is the result of deficiencies in the immune system. And for the first time in their marriage, she had to depend on Smith. Also, for the first time, Smith was dependable.
"God was preparing me for that moment," he says.
Doctors later discovered it was mononucleosis; but the uncertainty of the whole situation and the incorrect diagnosis forced the weight of Smith's family and his wife's health to fall on his shoulders.
And he could finally handle it.
The phone rings, piercing the silence in his house. It's his wife.
This is a different husband than the one who was living in his guesthouse three years ago. This is a different Steve Smith; days before, he returned from leading a Samaritan's Feet shoe distribution to the Dominican Republic with his son. And this is a different house.
His current home is a picture of the peace he has found. It is nice but not like his 12,000 square foot home several years prior. His kitchen, living room, and entryway are all connected. His house has an open feel. There is nowhere to hide, and Smith has nothing to hide. He is unashamedly himself, blunt and bold, transparent and vulnerable, but only with those he trusts.
All is quiet. You can hear your feet on the floorboards and the birds chirping out back. Steve Smith likes quiet.

Kimmel Video Designed To Mock Trump Misfires, Shows Trump Repeatedly One-Upping Obama
By Josh Manning
Published October 31, 2019 at 10:31am
The insufferably sanctimonious Jimmy Kimmel, the former "Man Show" co-host whose trouser pockets women were frequently asked to fondle in exchange for time on camera, delights in descending into politics — or I guess ascending into politics, depending on how you view his style of comedy.
On Monday night's "Jimmy Kimmel Live," the host introduced a video comparing the way former President Barack Obama announced the death of al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden with the way President Donald Trump announced the death of Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
Doubtless meant to mock Trump by contrasting his free-wheeling speaking style with Obama's far more measured, restrained style, the video backfired.
Instead of depicting a refined Obama in comparison with an uncouth Trump, the video showcased a morally resolute, passionately engaged Trump who was thrilled to have bagged an evil mastermind and contrasted that image against a pathologically disengaged, preeningly anodyne Obama who seemed ambivalent to the death of America's top enemy.
What's even better is that the Kimmel clip is legitimately funny — thanks 100 percent to Trump's personality and speaking style — so people want to watch the entire video and pass it around as well.
TRENDING: Senate Dems Running for President Must Recuse Themselves from Impeachment Trial
The mashup (as the kids call these things) begins with Obama announcing in a somber tone, "The United States has conducted an operation that killed Osama bin Laden."
It then quickly cuts to Trump elongating al-Baghdadi's name as he bluntly proclaims the terrorist leader's demise. "Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is dead."
Cutting back to his predecessor, we hear a potentially somnambulant Obama say, "The United States launched a targeted operation against that compound."

Trump immediately follows, saying, "They did a lot of shooting, and they did a lot of blasting, even not going through the front door. You know, you would think you go through the door. If you're a normal person, you say, 'Knock, knock. May I come in?'"
The audience howls.
Back to Obama (now sounding like he's resting comfortably on a Serta Perfect mattress): "After a firefight, they killed Osama bin Laden and took custody of his body."
"He died like a dog," Trump pronounces.
Bigger howls from the audience.
"Yet his death does not mark the end of our effort," Obama says.

"A beautiful dog, a talented dog," Trumps says, now talking about war dog Conan, who was injured helping take down al-Baghdadi.
Obama again: "We give thanks to the men who carried out this operation."
"And I don't get any credit for this, but that's OK. I never do. But here we are," Trump says.
Obama then finally says, "May God bless you, and may God bless the United States of America," after which Trump says, "And I'm writing a book! I think I wrote 12 books. All did very well."
And the video wraps as the audience tries to recover its composure.
Kimmel and company surely hoped the piece would show Trump to be a buffoon and Obama a statesman. But they miscalculated.
Instead, Trump came off as a confident, unapologetic protector of the republic who's also probably pretty fun to trade stories with at a bar.
Obama, on the other hand, didn't sound presidential so much as he sounded like he could be lip-syncing to a recording made under the influence of some primo Colorado medical marijuana (probably a Hawaiian sativa hybrid). He was aloof. Reserving judgment. Too superior to cheer.
Not only did Trump come out of the clip looking markedly better than Obama, but everything Trump said would resonate with traditional Americans, while everything Obama said would utterly fail to engage those same people.
Trump's blunt pronunciation about al-Baghdadi's death, followed by his enthusiastic description of the firefight, followed by his New York accented "like a dog" description of al-Bagdhadi's death — all resonated with the American people on a visceral level.
He came across as an American who loves a winner, won't tolerate a loser and finds the thought of losing hateful (thanks, George S. Patton).
Obama came across as little more than a functionary, pronouncing the death of an evil man whose fate hardly concerns him. Walter Cronkite would have had more discernible emotion in his voice than Obama.
All of that is to say that Kimmel's clip inadvertently highlighted the extreme differences between Trump and Obama and did so in a way that will resonate with Americans everywhere in the current president's favor.
Kimmel accidentally reminded us what it felt like to have a president leading from behind and to live in a world where America was on the decline. That's a feeling everyone needs to recall going into the 2020 presidential election.

news aggregator | Makiko Itoh : Not a nameless cat.
makiwi: there has to be a word for this kind of wild speculation, esp. on Twitter, after every major event/tragedy. It's not a good phenomenon.
makiwi: 23 degrees C today! 26 degrees on Tuesday! Spring is finally here.
makiwi: no reports of major damage from the quake though. Transportation (Shinkansen, airports) did halt for a while.
makiwi: @CuriousLanguage i haven't yet but will!


It may seem anachronous to be posting a summer kit review on a blog that is primarily about an Antarctic challenge; however Helly Hansen kindly provided me some summer training kit that I could use for my on-going training and participation in various events over the summer months.
There has not been much opportunity to truly test the windfoil jacket, but it is a lovely, versatile, lightweight top layer. As always with HH kit the fit suits my height and long arms. It has a relaxed comfortable fit which combined with the lightweight fabric means that it is one of those layers that you hardly notice. It protects against light showers and early morning or coastal breezes. Breathability is good with ventilation on the back and armpits, which is aided by the removable sleeves. Overall, it is a good piece of technical kit.
I would normally wear. However, the inner pant is designed more like a cycling or boxed short, fitting neatly round the thigh and stopping just above the outer loose layer of fabric. The fabric of the inner pant is lightweight and so the shorts still feel cool and comfortable. This design definitely gives me greater confidence for wearing a short with a higher cut leg. Again they are lightweight, comfortable and wick well. Good for those hot days when you need you clothing to be lightweight and barley noticeable.
lightweight and wicks well. This probably just personal preference, but I found that the fabric was just a little too light for a capri, and the length of the leg, stopping just on the knee is a little strange. I do use them, but they have not become a favourite piece of kit.
find the fit and neckline an irritation that can make for an uncomfortable run.
lightly against the skin. The short sleeve t-shirt is a great relaxed fit with a v-neck. The crew neckline of the half zip top is a little lower cut and the zip gives you the option to wear it open. The inclusion of cool grid fabric technology in the back panels really enhances moisture management and temperature control. There is one design flaw though. The flat lock stitching on the seams of the panels will cause chafing when on a long run and when wearing a back pack. So, have your anti-chafe cream at the ready. In spite of that these have become favourite summer training tops especially for short and mid distance sessions.

General Hospital Star Parry Shen Opens Up About His Life To Maurice Benard In State Of Mind
General Hospital star Parry Shen (Brad Cooper) recently opened up to Maurice Benard on his mental health series, State of Mind. Here's what he has to say!
While speaking to Maurice, Parry opened up about how he got his start on General Hospital. "It's been great. Unexpected. When I first got the audition, I remember telling my wife, 'I'm auditioning for General Hospital.' I had never been on a soap before. I didn't know anybody on a soap opera in my own personal circle because I had a lot of Asian American friends. Which is kind of great, because I went into it with no expectations at all."
That said, Parry did admit that his audition was intimidating at first. "So, I went in there going, well here we go, and I see all these guys, gorgeous, good-looking Asian men. I've seen them all in magazines. They are all like a foot taller than me. I thought, 'all I have to offer is I have to outact all of these b**tards.' And I just let her rip and I guess that was just different enough from what they were seeing."
Parry also opened up about how he met his wife, Kim Hollands. He said, "We worked at a boarding school at Ojai, California. It's about an hour and a half from here. It was great because, during that time, I had the morning until 3 pm to go to L.A. and do my auditions, try and get an agent, and all that kind of stuff. And I had this 123-acre compound, hanging out with the kids. No stress. No bills to pay because all the room and board were covered. We had salary and benefits and were able to save money and not have to have the stress of having to hustle why you were doing an acting gig. My wife got her credentials during the daytime."
