Minister Encourages Radon Tests
The province is encouraging people to pick up a radon test kit to test their homes for the dangerous gas. Nova Scotia has the highest levels of the gas in Canada. Natural Resources Minister Zach Churchill said four out of ten homes in high-risk areas are likely to exceed the Health Canada Guideline. The MLA for Yarmouth, Churchill says it's the second leading cause of lung cancer and in Nova Scotia and it claims about 70 lives a year. Radon is tasteless, odorless, and invisible and often finds its way into home through basements and concrete slabs. The province has released a map identifying the high to low areas for radon. A link to the map is can be found here
Property Crime Rates Drop In Barrington
Property crime rates in Barrington are at their lowest levels in six years. An RCMP crime analyst provided details to council members with the Municipality of Barrington. Mischief is on the decline in the municipality, but break and enters are on the rise based on analysis of this year's figures to date. Barrington RCMP detachment commander, Sgt. M.J. Deluco, says the reduction in property crime could lead to a trickle-down effect in neighbouring communities.
Deluco says she's pleased with the results. She says by examining crime data, it can identify people responsible for offences and locate key pockets of crime.

Health Authority Looking To Improve Patient Intakes
The CEO for South Shore Health says they are searching for ways to improve patient intakes for family doctors. The health authority has been criticized by the general public recently after a phone line was setup for 150 people to acquire a new doctor or nurse practitioner. The phone line botched on its first attempt after human error. It was cut-off in less than five minutes on the second attempt after the maximum amount of patients was received. Peter Vaughan says it's been a learning experience.
Vaughan says the challenge to provide other options includes costs they don't have the resources to cover. Another patient intake for Dr. Sheila Dwyer is expected later this winter.

Of simple origin, Matilda Dodge Wilson was a self-made, modern woman of the 20th century who lived an all-American success story. She was the daughter of German immigrants George and Margaret Rausch and was born in Walkerton, Canada in 1883. The Rausch family moved to Detroit in 1884 wher her father owned and operated a saloon and her mother the boarding house next door. Matilda attended Detroit public schools, graduated from Gorsline Business College and in 1902 found employment as a secretary to John and Horace Dodge, in their burgeoning automotive parts company. Five years later, Matilda married 38-year-old widower John Dodge and with this marriage became an American citizen, stepmother to his three children and mother to three children of their own; Frances in 1914, Daniel in 1917 and Anna Margaret in 1919.
During her 13-year marriage to John Dodge, Matilda devoted her time to raising their children and managing the household, which included a substantial home on Boston Boulevard and the Meadow Brook Farms property used as a country home and weekend getaway. In 1919, the Dodges began construction on a palatial mansion in Grosse Pointe, not too far from Horace and Anna Dodge's Rose Terrace.
It was also during this time that Matilda pursued her interests in history, arts and culture, and became active in public service and philanthropy, including what would become a lifelong involvement with the Salvation Army and the Presbyterian Church.
Sadly, in 1920 while attending at the National Automobile Show, John died from the influenza epidemic that had plagued the nation, leaving Matilda a widow with three small children at the age of 37.
Following John Dodge's death in 1920, Matilda sought solace by maintaining her involvement in her charity work. It was at church that Matilda met fellow parishioner Alfred Wilson and in June of 1925, the two were married. This was also the year Matilda and Anna Dodge, widow of Horace Dodge, sold their holdings in the Dodge Motor Car Company for $146 million, becoming heirs to one of the largest fortunes in the United States.
With a new start on life, Matilda and Alfred Wilson began building a new home on the Meadow Brook Farm property and adopted two children; Richard and Barbara. By all accounts, Matilda was the motivating force behind the design, construction and the furnishing of The Hall. In addition to this enormous undertaking, the Wilsons also began expanding the farm operation creating a self-sufficient estate and one of the nation's largest agricultural enterprises.
Matilda kept two offices, one in The Hall where she conducted the daily management of the Meadow Brook farm estate and another in Detroit where she managed her civic, social and charitable causes. In all, Matilda actively supported more than 40 organizations. Her largest contribution occurred in 1957 when she and Alfred donated their 1,500 estate, including Meadow Brook Hall, and $2 million to Michigan State University to form a branch campus in Oakland County, a branch that would become Oakland University in 1963. The Wilsons continued to live at Meadow Brook Hall until both passed away; Alfred in 1962 and Matilda in 1967.
Today, the energetic spirit of Matilda Dodge Wilson is present throughout Meadow Brook Hall's museum and cultural center activities and through her legacy as a businesswoman, preservationist, art collector, horsewoman, farmer and philanthropist and throughout the community she supported.
Alfred Gaston Wilson was born in 1883 in Lawrenceburg, Indiana to parents Samuel and Eliza Jane Wilson. He attended public schools in Lawrenceburg and at the age of 17 moved with his family to Wausau, Wisconsin. Alfred attended Beloit College where he developed an interest in music, was active in sports and belonged to the Beta Theta Pi Fraternity.
After his graduation in 1906, Alfred entered the lumber business and in 1919 moved to Detroit where he and his brother Donald formed the Wilson Lumber Company. The business was first engaged as wholesale distributors of lumber. In 1927 the brothers decided to engage in manufacturing operations, erecting sawmills in Perry, Florida. Alfred served as president of the company until its sale in 1942.
As the son of a minister, Alfred was a religious man and an active member in the same Presbyterian Church attended by the then-widow, Matilda Dodge. The two shared common interests including music, reading and religion, and after a short courtship, they married on June 29, 1925.
Plans began immediately to build Meadow Brook Hall, a new home for their family, which included Frances and Danny Dodge, and soon after two more children through adoption, Richard and Barbara Wilson. In addition to the enormous task of building The Hall, Alfred and Matilda also expanded the farm operation. Alfred's retirement from the lumber business allowed him to devote his time to farming and livestock operations.
Similar to Matilda, Alfred also actively supportive of many social, civic and charitable causes. Most notable was his involvement in the Boy's Club of America, as a trustee of Beloit College, a member of the Masonic order, and a leading participant in community affairs in Oakland County.
Alfred Wilson died in 1962 at the age of 79 while at the winter home in Scottsdale, Arizona. Richard and Barbara Wilson remember Alfred as a fun, loving father who was very active in their upbringing.

Vince and Len are stunned - no - flabbergasted by their guest, Philly news lady Denise James' disrespect for THE COLOR PURPLE (1985) or shall we say, her lack of regard for ONE WEAK LINK among the stellar cast of Whoopi Goldberg, Oprah Winfrey, Danny Glover et al.
The Men celebrate the career and influence of TV character actor Helen Martin who makes one of her rare big screen appearances in Robert Townsend's Hollywood Shuffle. Also featuring Ann Marie Johnson and Keenan Ivory Wayans.
Vince and Len share a table at Amalgam Comics & Coffeehouse to pick apart the quintessential Eddie Murphy - 1989's HARLEM NIGHTS - starring Murphy, Redd Foxx, Della Reese, Jasmine Guy and the ghost of Richard Pryor.
In 1982 lightning cracked the foundation of Hollywood wide open. Eddie Murphy debuts onto the movie stage in director Walter Hill's 48 HRS where, alongside a grizzled Nick Nolte, he would set the course for moviemaking for the next 30 years.
Not is this one the longest episodes of the show; it may be the most heated exchanges Vince and Len have ever had when they sit down to review the 1989 Academy Award winning Picture of the Year DRIVING MISS DAISY, starring Morgan Freeman and Jessica Tandy.
Class is in session - Acting Class that is - when a young Denzel Washington is outshine by the underrated Larry Riley and the gone-too-soon Adolph Caesar and Harold Rollins Jr. in Norman Jewison's adaptation of Charles Fuller's Pulitzer-Prize winning A SOLDIER'S STORY.
The emails are in and one of them stings...sharply. After that, Vince introduces the review of 1985's Fast Forward (starring Don Franklin and - remember Michael DeLorenzo?) and sits back to revel in Len's...niceness?
Vince and Len break the Spike Lee seal to regale in the collegiate splendor and iciness of 1988's SCHOOL DAZE featuring Laurence Fishbourne, Giancarlo Esposito, the criminally under utilized Tisha Campbell-Martin and d@mn near the cast of Different World! But first shots are fired across the bow named Beyonce.
Len has to watch THE LAST DRAGON once a day for every dollar donated to the special LIVE broadcast of the Micheaux Mission and Vince couldn't be happier with the night's results!
The Men sat down and watched Carl Weathers, Craig T. Nelson, Vanity and a car get upstaged by a not-yet-fully-formed Sharon Stone and lived to tell the story. And oh what a story their review of ACTION JACKSON turns out to be!
SIMONE MISSICK (Marvel's Luke Cage) sits down with the Men to discuss each and every theme, meme, line of dialogue, actor and actress and musical Easter eggs that make COMING TO AMERICA the most beloved Eddie Murphy movie of them all.
The 1980s may have been a renaissance for science fiction movies with Star Wars and its sequels, Star Trek and Buckaroo Banzai lighting the skies and filling the seats. But a non-descript science fiction-ish slavery allegory set in the rumbling streets of Harlem offers a more cerebral thoughtful brand of galactic whimsy.
The French Riviera may have never looked so good as it does in Prince's directorial debut but the stunning black and white cinematography can't save all involved from growing Under The Cherry Moon. Yet West Coast writer/filmmaker MAURICE POPLAR loves it!
Dr. Elisabeth 'Li' Sumpter of MythMedia Studios booked herself for Purple Rain before there was a Mission. And she delivers insight, reflections and heartfelt memories about her experience with the film and its amazing creator, the late Prince Rogers Nelson aka Prince.
Don't call it a documentary though it certainly feels like one. The loose narrative and stilted acting doesn't detract (that much) from this time capsule find from 1983, the birth of hip-hop as told in the subway sprayed hues of NYC in Charlie Ahern and the immortal Fab Five Freddy's WILD STYLE. Special guest, certified hip-hop head DAN DINKINS - The Mayor of the Starting Five podcast - lends the show an air of authenticity on the subject.
Well, it had to happen and it took 1985's urban kung-fu schlock to do so. The Last Dragon, featuring Vanity, Julius J Carry, directed by Mike Schultz (Cooley High) and starring Taimak in his acting debut, is the first film on the Mission that Vince and Len completely disagree on.

Gato class submarine
The United States Navy "Gato" class submarine design was rushed into production in 1940 and was the forerunner of all US World War II submarine designs. The class was 77 strong and sunk more than 1,700,000 tons of Japanese shipping. New construction of the class began in 1941 as the war in Europe escalated. More than half the class was built at Electric Boat at Groton, Connecticut; 3 new slipways were added to the north yard to accommodate their production.
The "Gato" class served mainly in the Pacific ocean but they did operate from the Caribbean and the Atlantic for short periods of time. In the latter case, in support of Operation Torch, the allied landings in North Africa in 1942. Gato class submarines "Flasher", "Rasher", and "Barb" obtained the first three places in the league table of confirmed sinkings by US submarines in World War II. The "Gato" class was responsible for sinking three Japanese submarines - "I-29", "I-168" and "1-351".
The "Gato" class was initially plagued by the problems with the Mark 14 torpedo in the early war years. These tended to run too deep, explode prematurely, run erratically or circularly, or fail to detonate. These problems were identified and were largely solved by late 1943, allowing the "Gato" class to accumulate prolific numbers of tonnage sunk.
Several "Gato" class submarines were installed with new equipment. "Herring" used bathythermograph in covert operations, "Haddock" was fitted with the type SJ surface surveillance radar and "Muskellunge" was the first US submarine to be armed with electrically powered torpedoes. "Barb" became the first submarine to fire rockets while "Grouper" was fitted with a primitive combat information centre.
At the end of World War II, the "Gato" class were moved into the training roles and some of the class were converted into radar picket boats. Some of the class did see action with the US 7th fleet off Vietnam in 1966. "Tunny" was converted to carry the Regulus missile and served from 1953 to 1965 in this role. "Redfin" was used in trials of inertial guidance systems for the Polaris missile submarines after 1959.
The last active boat was "Rock" which was decommissioned in September 1969 and sunk as a target.

Molly the Pony
A Beautiful Partnership: Kaye Harris, Molly the Pony and the Parelli Foundation
By Shannon South
Most people residing in North America can vividly recall the news reports and stories surrounding Hurricane Katrina that made landfall in late August 2005. In
addition to the human loss and suffering, it was the stories of the unexpected plight of thousands of pets and livestock left behind by evacuating owners, that touched the hearts of so many.
This was the reality for one such pony; a pony named Molly. She was just one of hundreds of horses abandoned by owners who were forced to leave New Orleans without their beloved pets.
On November 6, 2005, Molly was moved to Kaye Harris' half acre "city barn" located within the town limits of New Orleans. Although Kaye's farm had suffered wind and rain damage, and was without power, Kaye had resourcefully collected food and water and it was a safe haven not only for her own ponies, but for a few hurricane rescues that were in need.
Molly's story then took another tragic turn. Just a short time after arriving at Kaye's, a rescued pitbull escaped his enclosure and attacked Molly. Her injuries were extensive and Kaye and the veterinary team were uncertain whether the 15 year-old pony could survive the serious injuries to her legs and abdomen. But the strong willed pony refused to succumb to her injury, even as it became apparent that the damage to her right leg was too severe for her to endure for the long term. Kaye and her vets saw something special in this plucky little pony and the veterinary hospital at Louisiana State University agreed to give Molly a chance at life by amputating her leg below the knee. Immediately Molly greeted life with 3 legs, able to move about, graze and lay down with ease. Although her immediate prognosis was good, Kaye knew that Molly would face a reduced quality of life with three legs. With Kaye as her champion, and the hand of fate stepping in, Molly was given the gift of a custom fit, prosthetic leg!
Suddenly, this little pony, who had coped with so much tragedy, became a symbol of hope and possibility. In addition to being a survivor of Hurricane Katrina, the story of her injury and success with her prosthetic leg was inspiring to children and adults facing similar mobility issues. The hope that Molly instilled in people soon had Molly and Kaye and family travelling throughout the States sharing Molly's message, "It's not about what you can't do – it's about what you can!" (mollythepony.com)
During the many years operating her pony business and then touring with Molly, Kaye had always had a keen interest in the natural horsemanship movement. Having been introduced to Monty Roberts and to the John Lyons training method, Kaye had been quietly searching for a better way to train the rescued ponies she used for her business. Ponies that were "dull, afraid, spoiled rotten and at times downright nasty!" In 2010, Kaye had her first official introduction to natural horsemanship during a chance meeting with 3* Parelli Professional, Mollie Vacco while attending a fundraiser in New York. Kaye was immediately drawn to the Parelli program because "it was packaged to make it available for average people!" With her eyes opened to what was possible, Kaye crossed paths with the Parelli program a second time in 2010. As the night watchman for the stabling at the World Equestrian Games in Lexington, Kentucky, Kaye had a chance to see the Parelli program in action as she had an up close view of Linda and Pat Parelli playing, riding and presenting throughout the duration of WEG. By the show's end, equipped with some basic equipment and video education, Kaye headed home to Louisiana to begin her own natural horsemanship journey in earnest.
But like many who begin the Parelli program, the learning curve can be steep at times. Kaye's busy schedule, coupled with a lifetime of ingrained habits, got in the way of making real progress. Over the next few years, Kaye faltered as she attempted to learn and apply the program to the ponies in her life.
In 2013, Kaye, her husband and son attended the Parelli Horse and Soul Tour held in Lexington, Kentucky. Her interest in natural horsemanship was re-ignited by the passion and inspiration presented at the tour stop. Resolved to continue learning the program, Kaye headed back to Louisiana with a membership to Parelli Connect and some additional equipment and digital education.
Kaye began to study and play and learn the basics of natural horsemanship and she liked what she saw! Although Kaye had always had a kind, gentle way with the equines she acquired throughout her life, it took her a long, long time to see even the tiniest changes in her ponies. She will laughingly tell you that the Parelli-ism, "take the time it takes so it takes less time" caused her to realize that natural horsemanship was actually a shortcut to achieving results with her ponies, compared to the time it took her to achieve results on her own! But even with all the positive changes, Kaye soon discovered that she was challenged in a way that she had not anticipated. While logically she could learn the program and understand it, Kaye struggled to actually apply it to her ponies. "I knew I was on the right track instinctively, but I wasn't thinking about it in clear terms." Kaye knew more than ever that she needed help; but there were no Parelli Professionals in Louisiana.
In late 2014, Kaye contacted the Parelli Foundation to inquire if there was help for someone in her situation. With the Foundation's areas of focus: Therapeutic Horsemanship, Horse Welfare and Youth Horsemanship, Kaye knew that her story touched several of these areas and hoped that the Foundation could provide her with some assistance in accessing the education she was seeking. After sharing her story, and making several phone calls to arrange the details, Parelli Professional and 2-Star Instructor Nancy Slater was on her way to Louisiana to lend support to Kaye, her family, her students and her horses.
"…although Kaye had been following the program and watching the videos for quite some time, she was totally locked up and unconfident to try any of it on her ponies! Normally a very strong and forward woman, Kaye was afraid of failure." ~ Nancy Slater
Fundamentally, Kaye knew the Parelli program fit with her core values and her persistence paid off. By the end of the weekend, under the skilled instruction and guidance of Nancy, Kaye confidently filmed (and passed!) her Level 1 audition!
A journey that took her from her local pony business, to the tragedy of a massive hurricane, to a pony named Molly inspiring hope in millions, the road that Kaye Harris has been on is far from ordinary. But Kaye will tell you that she is just an average person seeking to be a little better for her equine family each day. And, maybe in the future, New Orleans, Louisiana will finally have its first resident Parelli Professional! One with a barn full of pony partners and a very special little lady named Molly to share with the natural horsemanship students in her corner of the world.
Nancy Slater says:
Kaye is an amazing person! She brought smiles and hope to a devastated community and thousands throughout the world, with the help of a rescue named Molly. It was an honor to meet Kaye and Molly. I look forward to working with her again in a few weeks!

For last few weeks was a disaster for almost all currencies on the business. The prices are continuously dropping for the coins. We have seen giant currencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum falling, while some currencies managed to remain immune to these adverse changes ravaging the crypto market. Taking the case of Populous, after the favorable time for last few months, PPT was trading over $30 per unit. But now PPT is also facing a minor downfall. It is not much affected because of the significant drop in the cryptomarket. Currently, PPT is trading $15.505 per unit. The initial drop was -8.99% against the dollar and a bit over -4 and -5 percent against BTC and ETH. Comparing to other coins PPT has managed to remain in the green, But we are not sure this will go for long. It may fall anytime. At this point, the future of PPT remains bright and exciting days and weeks are waiting ahead for PPT.


Few things remain as useful, however, as the traditional garden hose. Need to know: What a hose is made of determines how long it will last (along with how well you treat it, of course). Rubber hoses … and the kind of sprayer nozzle you use.


Recipe Review: I can't even remember how I came across this recipe but given I had just made a batch of homemade sugar-free Nutella I needed to make it! On a cold winters night... Bliss!
1. In a 325ml (12-ounce) or larger mug, whisk together the milk, olive oil, and sugar. Whisk in the flour until smooth, then whisk in the oats, pecans, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon and nutmeg, if using.
2. Dollop the Nutella on top and push in gently so it is partially submerged in the cake batter.
3. Microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds, and then in 15-second bursts until the top looks dry and cooked and springs back when pressed with a finger.
4. Let stand for 2 - 5 minutes before eating, as the cake and Nutella center will be quite hot.
5. Top with additional Nutella if feeling indulgent!
The nuts can be left out, although I do like their nuttiness in this cake.
Substitute peanut butter, almond butter, or a spoonful of cooked fruit such as apples or rhubarb for the Nutella.
Note that your finished mug cake will probably not come up to the lip of the cup as here. After testing I made a double batch in the mugs pictured here to make it easier to photograph and display the texture.

15 Rabbis to follow on twitter that will change the way you think about Rabbis
Emily Burack, Alma,	07/01/2019
Twitter can be a terrible place (for example, it has a Nazi problem and lots of anti-Semitic conspiracy theories). But it can also be delightful — full of stories about puppies, jokes about Jared Kushner and Cynthia Nixon's bagel order, and Russian Doll tweets. But there's one segment of Twitter that could actually make your scrolling experience meaningful: rabbis.
Shavuot Is About A Poor Convert — Would Your Community Welcome Her Today?
Sharon Weiss-Greenberg, Forward,	06/04/2019
Can we, or do we, see past the labels to create an inclusive community where those born in the margins need not remain there? The story of Ruth raises issues that are atypical from much of our biblical narrative, and Gleanings: Reflections on Ruth, a new anthology of modern commentaries on Ruth, edited by Stuart Halpern (Yeshiva University Press/Koren Publishers 2019), seeks to answer some of those questions.

9 writers who perfectly capture what it's like for Jews of color
Nylah Burton, JTA,	03/27/2019
As a black Jewish writer, I obviously want to read books written by and highlighting the stories of Jews of color. That's easier said than done, though. It's not that these stories don't exist — Jewish literature is an amazing, rich genre of diasporic Jewish stories.

Let me guess someone dropped a cigarette.
Me and most likely France: Am I a joke to you?
Inside edition: Norte Dame cathedral is burning down.
The wood that fueled the fire was used the the original construction back in the 1100's, and the trees had to be around 300 or 400 years old to be strong enough to be used as rafters. Wood over 1000 years old was just burnt to a crisp.
I watched it live on BBC news and we just became so shocked about what happened.
Media doesn't seem to be fans of people who think this was a hateful act.
OMG. French Government will rebuild the church. God will rebuild it again. We will support french people in prayers.
This is so heart breaking i'm so sad a really old build from a long time ago is gone.
GOD JESUS LIVES IN HEAVEN AND IN OUR HEART. Not in churches built by men!! Don't worry,, worry about your soul to be saved by JESUS CHRIST (YESHUAH).. HE DESERVES ALL THE GLORY!!
When you fight fire with fire, the world goes up in smoke.
anyone find it weird this happened near Easter?
They need to investigate the cause.
I see what you did ninja i see..


1. What type of tickets can I purchase using a rail warrant?
2. Can I exchange a warrant for an advance purchase ticket?
3. Can I purchase a ticket for a London Underground only journey with a rail warrant?
4. Is it possible to reserve seats when buying tickets using a rail warrant?
Rail warrants can be exchanged for the majority of rail tickets available across the National Rail network.
When a warrant is presented at a station, the ticket clerk will look at the details completed and then issue the cheapest ticket available for the journey requested. Normal ticket prices are applicable and there are no special discounts available when purchasing tickets using warrants.
Yes, to take advantage of cheaper fares it is possible to exchange a warrant for an advance purchase ticket, but to do so you would need to present the warrant, at a station that can issue advance purchase tickets, before the date of travel.
The ticket clerk will check to see availability of these tickets and if available, issue the ticket there and then in exchange for the warrant. On average, most advance purchase tickets are available for purchase 8 weeks before the date of travel.
National Rail ticket offices can also exchange warrants for Anytime or Off-Peak Day Travelcards and Travelcard Seasons.
At most National Rail ticket offices, Travelcard seasons will be issued as a paper ticket, not as an Oyster card, and need to be supported by a season photocard. A limited number of London Overground stations can exchange warrants, as well as issue tickets on Oyster cards.
You will then need to exchange your warrant at the station. Reservations can normally be made from about 2 months in advance of the day of travel, up to about 2 hours before the train departs from its start point, or, for early morning trains, up to 1600 the previous evening.
For more information on reservations please visit the reservations page on the National Rail Enquiries website.

Teacup Review (PC)
Teacup and her quest for tea!
Plenty of introverts gravitate towards gaming — especially single-player games — because it's a way to explore the world without having to leave the comfort of one's own home or deal with real life people. In adventure games, the protagonist is often pragmatically extroverted for the sake of story progression, engaging in conversation with strangers to further the plot or gain information about a task. Like seriously, imagine walking up to people in real life and asking about the four Wudu or proclaiming loudly you're Captain Basch from Dalmasca. Idk about you, but if that's what I had to do to continue on my real world journey, I'd rather just go home.
When I realized I was not only playing an introverted protagonist in Teacup, but one who lived in a world that accommodated for her quieter nature, I fell in love.
Developed by Smarto Club and published by Whitethorn Digital, Teacup is about a little frog in a little pond with a big problem — she's all out of tea! To make matters worse, she has a tea party scheduled for the next day with all her friends. This simply will not do, so she must seek out different herbs, flowers, and ingredients in the meadows, market, and other parts of town to ensure the tea party is a success. Available on console and PC for $9.99, Teacup will charm anyone who loves a wholesome storybook adventure with simplistic gameplay and brilliantly unique aesthetics.
Teacup opens up on the little frog, Teacup, discovering her tea stash has been exhausted. Luckily, she caught this grave situation the day before her tea party, so she can spend the entire day searching for tea and tea accessories. Unluckily, this means she has to venture outside, which is one of her least favorite things to do. Still, fresh air is good for the body, so maybe this sort of thing is exactly what Teacup needs. Armed only with her tea encyclopedia and a bag to hold everything, Teacup begins her noble quest to find tea for her tea party.
Teacup's aesthetics are everything. It looks like the visuals were painstakingly created in Paint, applying color and form to the settings dot by dot. Now I'm not sure what program was used, but that dotting technique does appear to be the art style. The palette the team chose really brought out the best of this oft-overlooked technique — which, by the way, is overlooked because it is incredibly time-consuming and difficult — and I couldn't stop taking screenshots because of it. Coupled with the really soft, lovely, peaceful piano music, Teacup looked and sounded like the way a nice warm cup of earl grey with lemon feels.
When it comes to gameplay, Teacup offers delightfully simple goals and puzzles that feel less like a challenge and more like a palette cleanser between bigger titles. Which, by the way, is okay — after all, I don't think anyone was expecting serious mechanical depth from a game about a frog searching for tea leaves. With that being said, the puzzles that were on offer were ones that wholesome game players definitely look forward to, like hidden objects, simon says, and, delightfully, the act of actually brewing tea. Again, if you love these kinds of saccharine sweet games with a whimsical, youthful personality, you're not going to be disappointed at all here.
Aside from the heavenly serene aesthetics, the one thing that impressed me the most about Teacup was how subtly the developers conveyed Teacup's introversion. While in an area with no other sentient creatures, Teacup is relaxed and cheerful, a sweet smile spread across her face as she takes in the beauty of the peaceful nature around her. When she's in an area with others, the smile disappears, her expression a bit more serious. When speaking with people, she holds her arm and casts a worried look across her face, her discomfort with social situations being expressed through her face and body language. I'm not sure I've seen an introverted protagonist so nuanced in the sense that she's naturally conveying her aversion to social situations instead of bashing people over the head with it through dialog.
Additionally, what I found even more remarkable than this introverted depiction was how others reacted to Teacup. The real world belongs to extroverts, and introverts have to practically work themselves up to be able to participate in society despite the fact that it's utterly exhausting. In Teacup's world, the more extroverted villagefolk certainly enjoyed themselves, but they also brought their energy levels down to make space for her, allowing for her taciturn nature and recognizing that her silence didn't mean her disinterest. It was so lovely to see people in a clearly active and exuberant setting like a festival give Teacup the opportunity to participate in her own way — even if they didn't understand her, they accepted her introversion and didn't push for her to be more extroverted. I don't think I've ever seen anything like this reflected in any form of media… ever?
Teacup was a lovely surprise in so many ways, its careful and quiet protagonist making a big impact in such a simple yet unexpected manner. With aesthetics that feel like a children's storybook giving players a warm and cozy hug, Teacup is a fantastic little wholesome title that will delight anyone who feels drawn to it. If you're looking for a bright, cheery game, Teacup is absolutely going to be your cup of chamomile.

Batwoman Season 2: Power Review
This Isn't America's Funniest Pets Well, I pretty much deduced properly last week that the season finale of Batwoman wasn't going to be as good as the previous…


What is it about being human that separates us from all the other species on the planet? Why is it that our fellow creatures on Earth don't enjoy the same level of cognitive talent as we do? What separates us from even those creatures with virtually the same parts and similar brain structures as ours? What makes us so special?
A recent comment posted in my "About" section posed several questions related to the unique nature of human consciousness—how it affects our basic nature, how it affects our ability to survive and thrive, as well as how it identifies us as the only known terrestrial species making use of our cognitive talents in exactly the way we do. Since these questions are central to the understanding of human consciousness, I decided to respond by posting my thoughts about these issues here this week. These are important questions to ask, and understanding how possessing such unique talents has enabled us to achieve so much more than any other species has been able to do, can not only broaden our appreciation of our own place in the world, but that of our fellow creatures as well.
It's difficult for us to imagine what it might be like to be any of the other animal species on our planet, not because we are so much different from any of them physically or because we are so much more advanced biologically or mentally, but because as remarkably similar as we are in so many ways, our unique combination of physical attributes in our brains, which gives us a discernible edge in the range of our capacities, particularly with grammatical language and symbolic thought, is what makes imagination possible in the first place. Without Broca's area, which regulates our ability to speak, and Wernicke's area which regulates language development and our ability to comprehend speech, as well as our unique version of the cerebral cortex, being able to express the results of our imagination would not be possible. There is a growing indication through neuroscientific research that Broca's area is also involved in music, working memory, movement, and even calculation. Even Kanzi, the bonobo, who has learned to communicate in a variety of ways, is very limited by comparison, and although this amazing animal may not be on a par with humans functionally, it demonstrates just how significant a relatively small difference can be.
While we also have some of the same instinctive drives that all animals have, discerning what might constitute a purpose to our existence, being aware of such a purpose, and contemplating, planning, and then acting to fulfill a deliberately chosen purpose, requires a capacity like the one provided by our "upgraded" human cognitive apparatus. We see a broad range in the degree of consciousness in all the species on Earth, but over the millennia, humans have expanded and built upon this capacity to a degree that simply is not evident in any other creature.
I believe that our love for animals and all living entities is a reflection of our sense of unity with all life in the universe, and recognizing that the very same "stream" of consciousness that manifests within US is also present in everything that lives, gives us good cause to suppose that all life forms are a manifestation of a much deeper, profound, and intangible energy at the heart of existence.
Human beings have a unique capacity for contemplation, imagination, producing and expressing complex ideas, and as a result of the complexity of our cognitive apparatus, are prone to all sorts of mental illnesses, brain injuries, disease, and defects which can affect us in numerous ways. We are not born into this world as a completely "blank" slate. We are constructed out of the inherited genetic material of our species generally, and that of our familial inheritance specifically. Our genes, chromosomes, DNA, and all the aspects of our human biology, construct our bodies and our brains in the womb, and from the moment of conception through whatever growth and aging that we are able to accomplish, we can experience any number of successes or failures of that inheritance. This represents a formidable force in determining how well or how poorly we will fare in our lives, and depending on the environment in which it all takes place, a whole other set of problems and opportunities might hold sway as we live from day to day.
We are not "programmed" to survive in the sense that it is not a hard and fast or unbreakable instruction encoded in our genes. Survival is a natural inclination of all living entities, and evolution has demonstrated that the will to survive is an advantageous adaptation for living species which ensures the continuation of life. It is instinctive—we don't have to learn to want to survive—but it is far from being a directive. Species with the ability to survive—characteristics and talents which promote survival—will generally prevail if they have the right stuff—if they can adapt to the changing environments—but our cognitive capacities as humans allows us to deliberately choose whether we want to survive or not.
Most often, even this choice may not be a completely conscious choice. According to Thomas E. Joiner, a psychologist and author who wrote, "Why People Die by Suicide," "Virtually everyone who dies by suicide has a mental disorder at the time of death." Depression, mental illness, and any number of psychological difficulties can initiate such thoughts, but there are a number of contributing factors that rule out being "programmed" to either survive or give up on living. Most people DO want to survive, and the degree of consciousness that humans possess generally is adequate to acknowledge our instinctive drives when they come into play, and potent enough to overcome those instincts when there is sufficient motivation to do so.
In my view, human consciousness represents a temporal connection to a much more complex and intangible aspect to our existence. It seems likely to me that consciousness is ubiquitous in the universe and both permeates and transcends the temporal world. Our unique position as a consciously aware and cognitively talented species, far from being simply a temporal advantage, gives us a responsibility to discern our connection to all life, and to act to preserve it, protect it, and appreciate it while we have the opportunity.
wow, this article was very well put together–and all your research over the years definitely shines through. The brain structure and the information cited from Thomas E. Joiner were especially appreciated. Thank you for addressing these questions, your answers sufficiently satisfy my current hunger for thought on these topics.

PISGAH NATIONAL FOREST - Nestled in a mountainous valley known as the Pink Beds is the Cradle of Forestry in America, a national historic site. This spot in the heart of the Pisgah National Forest in Western North Carolina is aptly named for it is the birthplace of scientific forestry in the United States.
This intriguing story begins in early 1888. That year a wealthy young man, George Washington Vanderbilt, came to Asheville with his mother, who sought relief from malaria-like symptoms.
Dr. S. Westray Battle provided Mrs. Vanderbilt's medical treatment while she and her son stayed at the posh Battery Park Hotel. The clean air, scenic mountains and natural beauty of the area quickly captivated Vanderbilt, a widely-traveled individual who considered himself a poet at heart. He fell in love with this land and immediately decided to build a luxurious mansion - he later named Biltmore - and to purchase property.
By 1895 he could claim ownership to more than 125,000 acres of forest land; but much of it had been heavily damaged by fire, grazing and poor logging practices. There were, however, virgin stands of high quality trees especially in the coves and on north and east facing slopes of his holdings. Vanderbilt employed the foremost architect of the day, Richard Morris Hunt, to design his 255-room mansion but also hired an equally famous landscape architect, Fredrick Law Olmsted, to design the grounds of the estate. He hired one of the only two foresters in the country at the time, a 27-year old Pennsylvanian named Gifford Pinchot.
Stands not adequately stocked with trees were planted with hardwoods and pine. Later, in writing of his experience, he said, "Thus, Biltmore became the beginning of practical forestry in America. It was the first piece of woodland to be put under a regular system of forest management whose object was to pay the owner while improving the forest." He also received his first taste of fighting wildfires while working on the estate.

Palmer Intercollegiate Woodsmen's Meet at the Cradle of Forestry, site of the first forestry school in the United States. (Photo: Maddy Jones/mjones3@gannett.com)
Pinchot was employed at Biltmore for three years as he was destined to play a national role in the establishment of forest policy throughout the U.S. He served as the first chief of the U.S. Forest Service and later was elected governor of Pennsylvania for two terms. Today, he is highly regarded as the "father" of American forestry by professionals throughout the nation.
Pinchot recommended his successor, Dr. Carl A. Schenck, a German forester who knew little of American tree species or forestry or Appalachian mountain culture.
Schenck urged the construction of permanent forest roads to facilitate management activities, took steps to improve watersheds and created a tree nursery. He undertook several projects to improve game and fish populations on Vanderbilt's lands. As his reputation as a practical forester grew, Schenck was approached to teach the new concept called "forestry." He opened a forest school in 1898 on a site 100 yards from the present-day Cradle of Forestry in America's Forest Discovery Center, the first forestry school in the nation was established.
Schenck was a demanding instructor. His 12-month curriculum was intense but his teaching was not limited to just forestry. Mixed in his lectures were lessons in art, music, history, literature and life. Classes included silviculture, surveying, forest protection, logging, tree and plant identification, forest mensuration, forest policy and forest management to name a few.
Students received Sundays off and were given two weeks for Christmas. They either boarded with mountain families or occupied vacant cabins giving them names like "Hell Hole" and "Gnat Hollow" among others.
The Biltmore Forest School closed in 1913. Out of more than 365 students, 300 completed the required coursework and over half went into forestry. One became the associate chief of the U.S. Forest Service, four became regional foresters.

Vanderbilt's widow, Edith, sold the 87,500-acre Pink Beds tract to the Forest Service in 1914. It ultimately became part of the Pisgah National Forest. Congress carved out and designated 6,500 acres a national historic site in 1968. Here four firsts can be identified: the first trained American forester; the first managed forest; the first school of forestry in America and the first national forest created under the Weeks Act of 1911.
Today this historic site is jointly managed by the Forest Service in a cooperative partnership with the Cradle of Forestry in America Interpretive Association, a nonprofit foundation, and is open to visitors from mid-April to early November. Visitors can explore the past, present, and future of environmental sustainability and stewardship – brought to visitors through paved interpretive trails, interactive exhibits, film, music, drama, guided tours, nature programs, craft demonstrations, and special events.
It is 4 miles south of the Blue Ridge Parkway and along the Forest Heritage National Scenic Byway. The surrounding Pisgah National Forest is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts offering hundreds of miles of hiking and bicycling trails, waterfalls, scenic overlooks and camping.
This historic site is truly a national treasure and a must for anyone with an appreciation of our outdoor heritage.
Celebrate Migratory Bird Day
The Cradle of Forestry hosts Migratory Bird Day 10 a.m.-3 p.m. April 29, with a guided bird walk, live raptor program, and family-oriented activities.
Admission to the Cradle of Forestry is $5 for adults and free for ages 15 and younger. The Cradle of Forestry is located on U.S. 276 in the Pisgah National Forest 4 miles south of the Blue Ridge Parkway at Milepost 412. For more information call 828-877-3130 or visit www.cradleofforestry.com.

English speakers are not unusual in feeling this way about their language.
Take modern German, for instance, which by common consent is a mere shadow of its former glory two centuries ago, in the Golden Age of Goethe and Schiller. That may well be, but during Goethe's lifetime those in the know were of a rather different opinion. In 1819, the fairy-tale compiler and linguist Jacob Grimm compared the langauge of his day to that of previous centuries, and lamented that "six hundred years ago, every common peasant knew –that is to say practised daily — perfections and niceties of the German language of which the best language-teachers nowadays can no longer even dream.
We don't have to wait generations to hear the how languages change. It can be witnessed by traveling to different parts of a country or, more dramatically, by listening for differences in dialects of a single language across multiple countries.
I highly recommend the book which is a little academic at times, but full of fascinating historical and modern references that illustrate how languages evolve.

Senate rejects first two of four gun-control measures

WASHINGTON -- The U.S. Senate blocked Republican and Democratic proposals on background checks on gun purchases, the first two of four measures to curb guns that senators are expected to reject on Monday after last week's mass shooting in an Orlando nightclub.
All four of the measures to expand background checks on gun buyers and curb gun sales to those on terrorism watch lists - two put forth by Democrats and two by Republicans - were expected to fall short of the 60 votes needed for passage in the 100-member chamber.
But lawmakers in the Senate were still trying to forge a compromise for later this week that might keep firearms away from people on terrorism watch lists.
The deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history last week intensified pressure on lawmakers and spurred quick action in Congress. But the gun-control measures were expected to lose in votes that showed the lingering political power in Congress of gun rights defenders and the National Rifle Association.
The first measure, sponsored by Republican Senator Charles Grassley, fell seven votes short of the 60 needed. The second measure, sponsored by Democratic Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut, fell 16 votes short of 60.
Republicans and their allies in the NRA gun lobby said the Democratic bills were too restrictive and trampled on the constitutional right to bear arms. Democrats attacked the Republicans plans as too weak.
"It's always the same. After each tragedy, we try, we Democrats try to pass sensible gun safety measures. Sadly, our efforts are blocked by the Republican Congress who take their marching orders from the National Rifle Association," Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid of Nevada said as the Senate opened debate on the proposals.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, a Kentucky Republican, said the Democratic measures were ineffective and Democrats were not sincere in their effort.
"Instead of using this as an opportunity to push a partisan agenda or craft the next 30-second campaign ad," McConnell said, Republican senators "are pursuing real solutions that can help keep Americans safer from the threat of terrorism."
Gun control efforts failed after mass shootings at an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut, in 2012 and a conference center in San Bernardino, California, in 2015. But some senators see resistance to gun restrictions softening as national security looms larger in the debate.
The Orlando gunman, Omar Mateen, pledged allegiance to the militant group Islamic State as he killed 49 people in a gay nightclub.
"This country is under attack ... it's not a plane or an explosive device, it's an assault weapon," said Murphy, who led a 15-hour filibuster last week to draw attention to the effort to restrictguns.
A Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted last week found that 71 percent of Americans favor at least moderate regulations and restrictions on gun sales. That compared with 60 percent in late 2013 and late 2014.
Congress has not passed new gun restrictions since a 2007 expansion of the government's automatic background check database to include individuals with a history of mental illness and felons. The United States has more than 310 million weapons, about one for every citizen.

Albania has reported 4,008 confirmed coronavirus cases and 111 total deaths since the pandemic began in the country.
In the last month, daily numbers of new cases have ranged from 50 to 120, at least double compared to the March-May period when the country was in a total lockdown.
Health ministry officials say people must wear masks, keep socially distant and wash hands. Masks are mandatory in closed areas and individuals may receive a small fine for not wearing them in public or private places.
Health officials are checking businesses, cafes and restaurants, handing out larger fines for noncompliance.

People in Melbourne must now wear masks when leaving their homes as Victoria, Australia's second most-populous state, marked two weeks of triple-digit increases in new coronavirus infections on Sunday.
Melbournians not wearing face coverings will be fined A$200 ($140), said Victoria Premier Daniel Andrews.
Victoria, which has forced nearly 5 million people into a partial six-week lockdown on July 9, reported 363 new cases of the coronavirus on Sunday, after 217 cases the previous day.
Australia has recorded about 11,800 coronavirus cases, a fraction of what has been seen in other countries or even some US states, but an outbreak of community transmission in Victoria has been growing, prompting authorities to impose stricter social distancing measures.

Brazil, the world's second most affected country after the US, have started to resume business in many areas despite mounting cases.
Its economic activity index in May rose for the first time since the coronavirus broke out, growing by 1.31 percent from April, according to the Central Bank of Brazil on July 14. The bank also said the economy will contract less than expected in 2020, adjusting forecast from -6.5 to -6.1 percent.

US deaths from the novel coronavirus exceeded 140,000 on Saturday as cases continued to rise in 43 out of 50 states over the past two weeks, according to both Johns Hopkins University and Reuters tallies.
Since late June, the US has seen a resurgence in new cases and now, six weeks later, deaths have also begun rising, according to a weekly Reuters analysis of state and county data.
America is losing about 5,000 people to the virus every week. By contrast, neighboring Canada has reported total deaths of 8,800 since the pandemic started.
In just one week, the United States records about as many deaths as the 5,600 lives Sweden has lost since the pandemic began earlier this year.
02:48 GMT – China reports 13 new coronavirus cases
China on Sunday said another 13 confirmed cases of coronavirus have been reported in the northwestern city of Urumqi, raising the total in the country's most recent local outbreak to at least 30, AP news agency reported.
An additional three cases were brought into the country from overseas, increasing China's total number of confirmed cases to 83,660 with 4,634 reported deaths.
Despite the Urumqi outbreak, China has just 251 people remaining in treatment for COVID-19, according to the National Health Commission.
Another 151 people were being monitored in isolation for showing signs of having the virus or for testing positive without showing symptoms. At least 23 of those asymptomatic cases were in Urumqi, although China does not include those in the numbers of confirmed cases.

South Korea's new daily virus cases hovered below 40 for the second straight day on Sunday, but the number of local transmissions outpaced that of imported cases for the first time in over a week, according to Yonhap news agency.
The country identified 34 new cases, raising the total caseload to 13,745. Of the newly reported cases, 21 were locally transmitted, according to the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC).
The latest tally marks a steady decline from 61 new infections reported Thursday and 60 on Friday, largely due to high numbers of imported cases.
As of Sunday, South Korea has seen double-digit figures of imported cases for 24 consecutive days.
The country's death toll came to 295, with one more virus-caused death reported, according to the KCDC.
01:43 GMT – Barcelona limits access to public beaches amid COVID-19 resurgence
Police in Barcelona are limiting access to some of the city's beaches because sunbathers are ignoring regulations amid a resurgence of the coronavirus.
Catalan health authorities reported over 1,200 new cases on Saturday from the preceding 24 hours. The new outbreaks have forced regional officials to announce the prohibition of gatherings of over 10 people that went into effect Saturday.
Barcelona and other areas of the surrounding northeast Catalonia region have experienced the largest outbreaks in Spain since the European country ended a strict three-month nationwide lockdown.
The mandatory use of face masks is rapidly spreading across Spain as officials grapple with more than 180 active outbreaks, most in Catalonia and neighbouring Aragon regions.
The coronavirus has resulted in at least 28,000 confirmed deaths in Spain.
01:15 GMT – Greece reports 19 new coronavirus cases
Greek authorities announced 19 new cases of coronavirus and no new deaths over the past 24 hours, the Associated Press news agency reported.
Total confirmed cases in Greece since the outbreak of the epidemic are 3,983, with 194 deaths.
Despite the relatively low number of cases, authorities are concerned about increasing evidence that social distancing guidelines are not being followed. On Saturday, they extended the requirement to wear masks to supermarket customers – and they are considering expanding the mask requirement further.

South Africa on Saturday reported 13,285 new confirmed cases for a total of 350,879. That puts the country ahead of Peru, and accounts for roughly half the cases in Africa.
Gauteng province, home to Johannesburg and the capital, Pretoria, is now Africa's epicentre for the virus. It has one-quarter of the country's population and many of the poor are crowded in township areas with inadequate access to clean water and sanitation.
South Africa has seen 4,948 reported virus deaths, but the South African Medical Research Council in its most recent report shows the country had 10,944 "excess deaths" between May 6 and July 7.

00:01 GMT – EU extends summit to Sunday after deadlock over COVID recovery plan
Leaders of the European Union have extended until Sunday their summit after failing to agree on a massive stimulus fund to revive their coronavirus-hammered economies after two days of fraught negotiations, Reuters news agency reported.
As the 27 leaders scurried back to their hotels after a late Saturday night, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Emmanuel Macron stayed behind in the EU's headquarters in Brussels to haggle with the Dutch-led camp of thrifty countries demanding cuts to the 1.8 trillion euro ($2.06 trillion) package.
"The negotiations were heated," said Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte of Italy, one of the EU countries most affected by the coronavirus crisis that are seeking generous aid from the bloc. "Europe is under the blackmail of the 'frugals'."
"We have to do all what is possible to reach a deal tomorrow," Conte said. "Further delays are not useful to anybody."

Rescuers drilled three more channels on Tuesday as they race against time to extract the 22 workers.
Workers trapped in a Chinese gold mine for more than nine days have received more medical and food supplies, including bandages, blankets and rice porridge, but one of the group is in a critical condition with a severe head injury, state media said.
A total of 22 workers were left trapped in the Hushan mine, in Shandong province, after an explosion on January 10.
A week later, it emerged that at least 12 of them were still alive as a note retrieved from the mine said: "We hope the rescue won't stop."
A drilled channel on Sunday located 11 of the miners, who were working more than 600 metres (1,968 feet) underground and rescuers were subsequently able to speak to them via a wired telephone.
But the progress of the rescue has been slow, according to Chen Fei, a top city official.

"The surrounding rock near the ore body is mostly granite … that is very hard, resulting in the slow progress of the rescue," Chen told reporters.
"There is a lot of water in the shaft that may pose a danger to the trapped workers."
Chen said the current food supply was only enough for two days.
'Please speed up the rescue'
Rescuers drilled three more channels on Tuesday, according to a rescue map published on the Yantai government's official Weibo account, a Chinese version of Twitter.
More than 300 people are involved in the rescue effort and excavators and machinery are on site but the teams have warned it will be extremely difficult to bring out the miners from the tunnel's entrance.
The official Xinhua news agency said the miners had requested on Monday evening sausage and pickles as well as porridge but medical experts decided they should not eat hard food having only just regained their strength.
Fortified by the food and medical supplies – the fourth consignment to reach the group – two workers who had previously been very weak were able to walk again on Tuesday, Xinhua reported, citing a member of the rescue team.
However, the state-run newspaper People's Daily said one worker was in a coma and in a critical condition, after sustaining a head injury in the blast, while two were "mildly unwell" and eight in good health.
One more worker has been located in another section of the mine, while the whereabouts of the other 10 remain unknown.
News that some of the miners are still alive has boosted Chinese netizens' hopes for a miraculous escape, with thousands leaving prayer messages on Weibo and calling on the authorities to "please speed up the rescue".
China's National Mine Safety Administration has ordered a comprehensive inspection of the country's non-coal mines, which will continue until the end of March, the People's Daily reported.
There are 32,000 non-coal mines in China, most of which are small, use outdated technology and equipment and have poor safety management, it said, citing an administration official.

Playwriting | Department of Drama, U.Va.
Playwriting is an active and vital part of the Drama curriculum, and provides basic and advanced instruction in the craft. Playwriting I is open to all students and requires no past experience or training. This course provides an introduction to playwriting through guided exercises and culminates in a staged reading of selected scenes at the end of the semester.
For students who want to develop their playwriting skills, there are several advanced classes, and an undergraduate student may take as many as five playwriting classes while at U.Va. These advanced classes focus on the development of longer works and, again, culminate in staged readings of selected sections. Often these staged readings combine playwriting classes with directing or acting classes.
Beyond the classroom, there are many opportunities for the playwriting student to see his or her work on stage as part of our ongoing Lab Series of student productions. For those who want specialized training, independent study is also possible, where the playwright will work one-on-one with a faculty member to develop a longer work, a screenplay, or a teleplay.
The Playwriting program can thus provide a basic introduction to the craft as part of Liberal Arts studies, or provide advanced instruction for those who may want to pursue graduate study or professional work in the field.
