Anyone in Portland, OR?
SE Portland is where my son is, and hanging on by a thread! He could really use someone to talk to!!
@MissDee
I suggest that you tell your son about SA and encourage him to join as a member so that we can provide him with information and support.

ou NEVER hear a drug addict complaining about symptoms 2 years after stopping - never. Ever. They're talking about how to handle their emotions, keep their jobs, handle family etc, but I never heard anyone talk about the long term disabling symptoms of long term hardcore drug abuse (and yes, many many people were hardcore drug addicts and have fully recovered within a 3-9 month period).
This is so true. It is hard to not feel bitter about the time it steals from us.

Topic title: Any experience with NA as a support group for taperers?
does anyone have experience with NA (Narcotics Anonymous) as a suport group for those of us tapering and preparing to taper off of other psychiatric drugs?
from my experience with AA years ago, i know the 12 steps and i know about sponsors and the like... however i've never been in NA and duno if they are receptive to people on prescription drugs or if there's a difference to them what kind or why we are on them...and do they care if the goal is to be off the drugs eventually for good vs staying in the program post taper and stabilization...i mean do they only allow addicts per se or those people who WANT to keep taking drugs or do they allow people who are trying to get off the drugs and need a support group for the process of however many years it takes?
also does anyone know if you can be in NA if you don't have a higher power/god/God/etc? can you be in their support group without a belief in a deity?
there's a group close to my home, but i'm scared of judgement or rejection because of my tapering and my lack of a religion or belief in any deity.
thanks yall

Who can be a member?
If an addict wants to be a member of Narcotics Anonymous, all that addict needs is a desire to stop using. Our Third Tradition ensures that. Whether an individual NA member chooses to be a member of a particular group as well is entirely up to that individual. Access to the meetings of some NA groups is restricted by factors beyond the control of these groups— national border-crossing laws, for instance, or prison security regulations. However, these groups themselves do not bar any NA member from joining them.
As is AA, believing in God or a deity is not required. You can make the group your higher power.

that's how i remember the old timers saying it...but then the groups were quite different. anybody who was agnostic, atheist, apatheist or of polytheist beliefs was discouraged from speaking. it was not good. but Bill W. said you can make the group your HP!
so...i guess i'll be going at least to feel out the NA group support and if they don't support me then i've got you guys. and hopefully benzo buddies...haven't gotten to know anyone there.
this SA has been the most helpful and welcoming source of support and information that i've found online so far. 💜💙💚

okay! so that was very encoraging and i'd have to rate the first NA meeting as a success! i waited for a period of 3 day window where i slept pretty good and seemed more stabilized before i went to the meeting. i'm ypersensitive around people now, so i wantwed to be as confident and feeeling as safe as possible. i went to the 8-9:30pm meeting, and at the end, i asked if i could speak. the groups was super supportive and encouraged me to talk.
i asked about the psych med tapering longterm thing and the godless thing making the group my higher power and they wholeheartedly agreed and even quoted the literature supporting it. they repeatedly told me i was in the right place and a welcome member of the group!
after i shared my querstions, a man spoke and said i just told his story! he has been tapering off psych meds for 14 years nad he totally understood. so i gave my number and asked if there were any women i could talk to maybe for sponsorship etc who understood about my meds tapering and wouldnt shove god down my throat...
two women came and hugged me and one gave me her name and number so i'll call tomorrow.
it's easier to go forward face the withdrawals knowing i have a support group to back me up.
just wantedt o share my good experience with yall!

This looks like a good resource for members who are setting up meet-ups - you can contact them for a "toolkit" for setting up a meet-up of people coming off these drugs.
WARM Network - Withdrawal and Recovery Meeting
More from the co-founders are on Rxisk.org:
The WARM Network: Withdrawal and Recovery Meetings
This sounds quite promising. Unfortunately, there's nothing available near where I'm currently at.
I have run support groups in the past. The part of Arizona we're going to be moving back to is near Tucson. I might be interested in looking into setting up a WARM group there once I'm settled. I could even offer a group en español if there was enough interest in it.
I'm most familiar with the ACA 12-step groups (Adult Children) and Al-Anon. The Adult Children groups have been the most welcoming and helpful for me. If there were an Emotions Anonymous group near me I'd give it a try, it sounds intriguing.

Q: How did Iron Man subdue The Hulk in Avengers: Age of Ultron? The fight in the film was really awesome but I just assumed it would end with Black Widow showing up to calm Hulk down since Hulk is supposed to have limitless strength and become more powerful as he gets more angry.
Since Black Widow was incapacitated by the Scarlet Witch I thought Hulk would surely just thrash the Hulkbuster then run off but instead the fight cuts off and in the next scene they're on the jet with Bruce Banner shivering and Stark looking mildly pleased with himself as if he was somehow able to subdue him.
How did he do this? Does this mean the movie Hulk has far more limited power than in the comic books?

A: We know that in this scene, The Hulk's rampage is triggered by Scarlet Witch messing with his brain, indicated by his somewhat reddish eyes. Over the course of the fight, he is clearly out of control and attacking anything or anyone that gets in his way - quite unlike how we see him act in The Avengers/Avengers Assemble, where he seems to be able to prioritise targets.
After a certain part of the fight between The Hulk and the Hulkbuster suit, we see that The Hulk seems to be dazed, or somewhat confused - we see a shot or two of him seemingly "coming too", his face showing what could be concern or sadness about the destruction he has caused as he sees people running and buildings collapsing. At this stage in the fight, his eyes appear to have gone back to normal.
We have seen from The Avengers/Avengers Assemble that "cognitive re-calibration" (hitting someone really hard in the head) is enough to stop someone from being under mind control. It is my belief that the same thing happened here, at which point The Hulk began to revert back into Bruce Banner after one final punch from the Hulkbuster armour subdued him completely.
It is also worth mentioning that at one point in the fight scene we see the Hulkbuster suit seem to spray some kind of chemical on The Hulk, which may or may not have contributed to his defeat.
Additionally, I think it is safe to say that the movie version of The Hulk has more limited power than the one seen in the comics, based on what we have seen so far in The Incredible Hulk, The Avengers/Avengers Assemble and Avengers: Age of Ultron, most of which have him being subdued in ways which would not usually affect The Hulk in the comics.

Dorchester duo make Bridport switch
Aug 21, 2018 | More News
Dorchester Town boss Steve Thompson has confirmed that young stars Ben Morris and Josh Williams have switched to Bridport under dual registration terms in order to gain more match minutes, report The Dorset Echo.
The duo were absent from the matchday squads in all three of Dorchester's opening Evo-Stik Southern Premier South clashes to date, while fellow new signing Cameron Murray, pictured, has been a constant presence in the Magpies' 16.
Bridport's acceptance of Morris and Williams comes hours after Crit Clarke signed dual registration forms with Portland United, starting at left-back during a 1-0 win over AFC Portchester.
Commenting on all three players' situations, Thompson insisted the driving factor is to build match fitness.
He said: "They have to play football matches. None of those three have started a football match.
"So Chris was able to play for Portland, and Ben and Josh were able to play for Bridport, so that gives them match fitness."

The ideosphere—like the noosphere (i.e., the realm of reason)—is the metaphysical 'place' where thoughts, theories, ideas, and ideation are regarded to be created, evaluated, and evolved.

Analogous to the biosphere (the realm of biological evolution), the ideosphere is the realm of memetic evolution, where 'memes' take the role of biological genes. As such, the ideosphere is an entire memetic ecology: the collective intelligence of all humans wherein memes live, reproduce, compete, and mutate.

The health of an ideosphere, in this sense, can be measured by its memetic diversity. Moreover, like the biosphere, it has ecological niches, which serve as environments for groups or audiences. For instance, some entities compete for ecological niches in the ideosphere, such as Buddha, Allah, the kami of Shinto, Satan, Jesus Christ in Christianity and in other religions, etc. Another example, an ideosphere is formed around a linguistic system that involves a mixture of cynicism and sentimentality as well as the violent appropriation of the other's word.

Douglas Hofstadter and Aaron Lynch are considered to have independently co-invented the term ideosphere in the mid-1980s.

The ideosphere is not considered to be a physical place by most people; instead, it is "inside the minds" of all the humans in the world. It is also sometimes believed that the Internet, books, and other media could be considered to be part of the ideosphere—however such media lack the ability to process the thoughts they contain.

According to philosopher Yasuhiko Kimura, the ideosphere is concentric" in form, as ideas are generated by a few people with others merely perceiving and accepting these ideas from these "external authorities." He advocates an "omnicentric" configuration, wherein all individuals create new ideas and interact as self-authorities. There is the notion that most of humanity remains the consumer instead of producer of ideas. To address this, Kimura proposed the so-called ideospheric transformation, triggered by a synergetic phenomenon produced by the emergence of a sufficient number of authentic and independent thinkers.

Lately there has been a lot of confer just about the federal cash in hand rate. This is thing that dominates headlines whenever in attendance is a switch in this charge per unit. Most recently the Federal Reserve made a oversize charge descend. The 1st droplet was 3/4ths of a percent, after not long after by another ½ proportionality conveyance the charge per unit all the way trailing to 3%. Why specified the hype? How does this feeling individuals finances?
The federal pecuniary resource charge is the wonder charge per unit that sir joseph banks contribute balances to new facility institutions, usually overnight. This rate is the rate that banks can borrow from the Federal Reserve, or in otherwise words, it is the lowest practicable rate that banks can indictment on go. Changing this rate is one of the essential tools that the Federal Reserve uses to fine-tune the secure of backing in the US discount.
By cloudy the rate, appropriation becomes cheaper for banks and next to match among the phytologist they will surpass this nest egg onto their patrons. This will craft adoption cheaper for individuals because the rate at which banks can lend is less and the non-attendance venture too goes downstairs because at hand is not as by a long chalk seasoning to pay by the not public. The meaning of cloudy the Federal Funds rate is to craft a domino issue that will in time excite the reduction. The interval it is say to move is this: the Federal Reserve lowers rates, botanist subjugate rates, individuals will get more than money, the rented jewels buys goods, the role player of the products breed much capital and deposit into banks, botanist have more cash to lend, then retell this cycle and the cutback is stirred up.
What this resources to utmost individuals in the in close proximity and far-off future?
This will assist out more individuals with their commendation card flavour taxation because the peak rate, which exactly influences credit card involvement is highly correlated to the Federal Funds charge. From the fats domino effect, respect paper lenders are besides competent to pick up a humiliate appropriation charge and as a result fight will heaviness them to shrink their taxation. This is one situation that individuals that transportation balances on their credit card should be alert of because sometimes the loaner will livelihood charging the identical charge per unit. An man-to-man who is awake of this can supreme of the time, interaction the appreciation card establishment and put in for a degrade rate.
One misconception roughly the fed cloudy the Federal Funds charge is that it direct influences security interest tax. Mortgage rates are much more complex in how they are firm than fitting by the Federal Funds charge. Mortgage revenue enhancement are supported on long possession rates, spell national finances charge per unit is a squat residence charge. Mortgages are priced like the horses market, if in attendance is a hoped-for descend in the federal pecuniary resource rate, the mortgage charge will damage it into the rate past the charge glob even happens. An unpredicted rate decrease can control mortgage rates, but solitary by a pocketable magnitude. The fed charge per unit is an obscure factor in decisive the long-lasting term revenue enhancement. Even still it is solely a teensy sneaky factor, drawn-out possession involvement taxation are really low exactly now and lockup in a safe, low fixed charge per unit at the new juncture may be a dutiful belief.
Overall, the charge per unit cut is a well brought-up article for acknowledgment card curiosity and other than shortened occupancy loans, but on the negative side, fund accounts will not earn as markedly flavour. If all goes as planned the economy will get the surplus assist it needs to maintain out of a recession, spell too obliquely fashioning a practical pull on time-consuming word colour rates and compliance rising prices in draft.

Street sign, Kormakitis village, Cyprus
The GoL (The Gradience of Lingualities (GoL): Language Acquisition in Minority Contexts, Incomplete Linguistic Competence and Theoretical Modeling in Heritage Speakers, and Vernacular Varieties) project (PI: Kleanthes K. Grohmann, kleanthi@ucy.ac.cy) is following up on a Research Topic in Frontiers in Psychology (Grohmann, Kambanaros, & Leivada 2017–18) and addressing the gradient scale of lingualities with the study of Greek in different contexts.
First, the GoL project will conduct fieldwork research and investigate the endangered minority language Sanna (a.k.a. Cypriot Maronite Arabic; cf. Newton 1964, Borg 1985, Karyolemou 2010, Hadjioannou & Tsiplakou with Kappler 2011)—spoken primarily in the village of Kormakitis—for the purpose of describing and analyzing a number of different phenomena in the grammar of this language. These data will subsequently be used to attest the paths of language acquisition in speakers of different generations. The population that will be involved in this project is adults, native speakers of Cypriot Maronite Arabic, who also speak Cypriot Greek. The GoL project will document Sanna as a heritage language in the Republic of Cyprus by using elicited data from fieldwork with speakers from Kormakitis and testing acceptability judgments with speakers currently living in the southern part of the island. Given the language contact with the dominant language of Cypriot Greek, variation in the acceptability judgments and gradience in grammar are expected to contribute towards creating a different profile of these speakers as heritage speakers differentiating them from the possibly bilingual profile of their control group. By creating different linguistic profiles, such as bilinguals of the older generation, heritage speakers of the current adult generation, and monolingual Greek Cypriot speakers of the young adult generation, different linguistic repertoires and abilities should be identified in the spectrum of multilingual speakers for this speech community.


Whether you're part of a security detail, working for law enforcement, on the front lines of the battlefield, outdoorsman, adrenaline junkie, or you just want to look cool when you play Call of Duty, a quality waterproof military watch is a necessity.
Maybe not so much for Call of Duty – but you get the point.
A good military, or tactical watch stands up against any trying conditions the elements can conjure, harsh terrain and environments, everyday abuse associated with uncharted terrain, and if treated correctly, might very well outlive its owner.
Luckily, in today's world, the market offers a plethora of popular tactical watch brands, carrying varying price tags. Brands such as Casio, Garmin, and Luminox, to name a few, are all popular brands offering good military watches in the $150 to $500 price range. You can of course spend much more than that.
Features such as water resistance, luminous hands and markers, alarms and time-keeping functions, altimeter and compass or GPS make these rugged timepieces worth their weight in gold.
Buyer's Guide – What makes a great Military Watch?
As we've mentioned in previous articles, no watch can be advertised as waterproof due to FTC Regulations, but will instead carry a water resistant rating up to a certain depth. Cheaper watches with a 100m (330ft) are only good for showering, surface swimming, and light water-related activities, however, any watch you plan to take into the world of diving should carry at least a 200m (656ft) water resistant rating.
Simply put, and in the context of our articles, "ATM" is short for atmospheres. Each ATM or bar is equivalent to 10 meters (33 feet) of static water pressure. Water pressure increases with movement, so even if you are doing high-speed watersports in shallow water, the pressure is high and you need a watch with a higher ATM rating.
An easily overlooked feature in the world of watches is whether you'll be able to tell time in dark environments or not. The advantage of choosing a watch with luminous hands and markers, over one with a backlight, is that it's almost 'automatic'. Once the hands and markers have absorbed the much-needed light from a light source, you'll have great 'glow in the dark' reference when you need it most.
Some of the watches we reviewed feature tritium gas tubes which give them exceptional luminosity and doesn't fade away easily like glow-in-the dark features do.
The majority of military or tactical watches come equipped with altimeter, barometer, thermometer, and digital compass features. It goes without saying how imperative these features are, especially when navigating the great outdoors.
Some watches come equipped with GPS/GLONASS capabilities, which is even better suited for maintaining situational awareness. Couple this with the ability to connect wirelessly and you've got yourself more than just a watch – you've got yourself a survival tool.
Our Editor's Pick, the G-Shock Rangeman GW-9400, shouts rugged, durable, and boasts the easily-recognizable, intimidating first appearance commonly found in G-Shock watches.
The Rangeman receives time calibration radio signals which keep you running on highly accurate time on a daily basis. Shock, mud, and water resistant to 200m (656ft), this model is built to withstand the toughest of environments. For situational awareness in the field, an altimeter, barometer, and digital compass keep you safe and aware of your surroundings when you need it most.
Full auto LED and backlight with afterglow provides adequate light in low visibility conditions, and if those aren't enough features for you, should you ever find yourself plunged into an ice-cold lake, this military style watch is low temperature resistant to -10C (14F). If you're into negative display watches, rather than high contrast display, that have a rugged feel with confident operation, then this is the watch for you. Available in black and green.
With its rugged and intimidating first impression, the G-Shock, by Casio, lives up to its expectation with its big case design. Its matte black resin band contributes significantly to its "built-to-last" design, and it comes fully loaded with plenty of the features you need in a military style watch.
Shock resistant, water resistant to 200m (656ft) and rated at 20 ATM, the G-Shock is guaranteed to withstand harsh conditions and outdoor abuse. An LED light, with afterglow, means you can clearly see the analog hands or digital time in low visibility, and it supports 29 time zones (48 cities).
A 1/1000 seconds stopwatch, alarm, and countdown timer serve as time-keeping functions, and if the world is still around, the calendar on this watch will take you all the way up to the year 2099. This timepiece is perfect for almost any outdoor activity, from hiking to swimming and skin diving.
The first thing that stands out with the Suunto Core watch is its bold, easy-to-read display. This bold and broad display provides altitude information, through a built-in altimeter, right at your fingertips. Coupled with this is a barometer for tracking air pressure trends and a digital compass guides the way.
The altimeter displays current elevation, with ascent and descent information, with the ability to record sessions. A weather trend graph and storm alarm, along with sunrise and sunset preset times for over 400 locations, keeps you safe wherever you are.
Apart from the "cool" stuff, this military themed watch includes traditional watch functions such as; dual times, date display, and alarm functions. A depth meter also provides accurate water depth readings to 30ft.
This black solar-powered watch comes loaded with all the much-needed features commonly found in tactical watches. A digital compass leads the way, an altimeter displays the altitude of your location, a barometer is great for weather trends, and a thermometer keeps track of the ambient temperature.
Low-temperature resistance (-10C/14F) contributes to the rugged design of the Pathfinder, and an EL backlight keeps you covered in times of low visibility. Standard watch functions like daily alarms, world time, stopwatch, countdown timer, and an auto-calendar (pre-programmed until 2099) make this a versatile and well-rounded watch.
This is a great watch for swimming and snorkeling, water resistant to 100m (330ft), we wouldn't recommend this watch for scuba diving.
This model by Casio boasts that rugged yet stylish design often found in G-Shock watches. Shock & mud resistant qualities lend to its durable design, and a thermometer and digital compass significantly contribute to situational awareness – imperative for safety.
The beige, resin strap is not only stylish, but it's also great for situations where camouflage and blending in become necessary. Typical watch functions such as; daily alarms, hourly time signals, full auto-calendar, and a low battery alert, makes it quite versatile. Water resistant to 200m (660ft), the Mudmaster is great for professional marine activity and serious water sports, but we wouldn't recommend it for diving.
The Marathon WW 194013DT-NGM is built to Government specifications for use by military personnel, with its NATO stock number engraved on the case-back.
Self-illuminating tritium gas tubes glow with no need for external charging sources and provide excellent light in all conditions. This model is designed for pilots and paratroopers, and boasts a very lightweight, high-impact fibreshell case, making it rugged and durable. Water resistant to 60m (203ft), it's ideal for most water related activities not associated with diving.
Water resistant to 200m (656ft), the PRW-2500T-7CR is a tough, durable, and versatile watch. Solar power and atomic timekeeping keep you well aware of the time, while a digital compass, altimeter (with memory), barometer, and thermometer, keep you aware of your surroundings.
An auto-calendar (preprogrammed until 2099), along with a countdown timer, 12/24 hour formats, and 1/100 second stopwatch, make up the standard watch functions of this watch by Casio. To top it all, it features a tide graph (tide level for specific date and time), as well as moon data (moon age for the specific date).
Simple in its appearance, the Traverse Alpha features a rugged, knurled stainless steel bezel, water repellent nylon strap, and scratch-resistant sapphire crystal glass face. A built-in GPS tracks your path allowing you to find your way back using the automatic breadcrumb trail – something Hansel and Gretel could have done with.
Great for fishing and hunting, the Suunto Traverse Alpha features automatic shot detection technology which keeps track of when and where you shoot, mapping GPS coordinates for later viewing. Its location based moon phase calendar, with moon rise and set times, is very useful for every hunter and fisherman.
Water resistant to 100m (328ft), this watch has been tested against military standards (mil Std 810G). The Suunto Traverse Alpha has a very versatile, effortless yet stylish look, and definitely is worth its price tag.
Garmin has successfully combined specialized tactical functionality with the increasingly popular smart features for fitness and outdoor activities – while maintaining a stylish look. It's rugged and durable design is built for the harsh environments of the outdoors, and dual-mode operation (sunlight readable display or night vision goggle capability) make it very versatile.
A built-in altimeter, barometer, compass, and GPS coordinate data page offers good situational awareness when it's needed most, along with smart notifications allowing you to receive emails, texts, and alerts right at your wrist wherever you are. Wireless connectivity allows you to utilize one or more Wi-Fi hotspots.
Built to Government specification for use by military personnel, and similar to the Marathon WW 194013DT-NGM, this amazing divers watch features tritium gas tubes, providing exceptional luminosity.
Designed for search and rescue (SAR) missions at sea, the WW 194006 is water resistant up to 300m (1,000ft), making it one of the top waterproof military watches we've reviewed in this article. Not only is it versatile and built-to-last, but it's definitely neat and stylish, and can be worn with almost anything in your wardrobe to most any event on your calendar.
Rinse your watch, just as you would any other piece of equipment, after any extended period in water, especially salt water. We both know the perilous effects of saltwater and subsequent corrosion. Regular cleaning of the strap will prevent dust and dirt accumulation – especially on rubber straps.
Store your watch in its original case or aftermarket case if you don't plan to wear it for a while. This will help prevent the accumulation of dust and the possibility of scratches and nicks should it take and unlikely fall from your bedside table. Additionally, avoid storing in extreme temperatures such as the heat of your car or heat sources, or even places where it can easily be stolen.
Enjoy your watch. You've spent your hard-earned money on it and once you take proper care of it, it will take proper care of you – from the open water to the dinner table.
A good, high-quality and durable watch can come in quite handy in the field; whether you're in law enforcement, the military, or service agent of some sort. However, you don't have to be a "top secret agent" to sport one of these valuable assets.
Luckily, in this day and age in which we live, gone are the days of clunky wrist watches, you can now accent your wardrobe with a stylish timepiece that's fully loaded with all the bells and whistles expected in a military grade wristwatch.
As always, just follow our Buyer's Guide, closely read the well-researched reviews we've offered, and take heed to the care instructions we've provided, and you'll have yourself one, or even two, of the best military watches the market has to offer.

The Passing of Jonathan Gold, L.A. Times Food Writer
This week we faced the passing of another champion of small, little-known, upstart restaurants and cafes of the world. Jonathan Gold passed away from pancreatic cancer on Saturday evening at the age of 57. He was the restaurant critic for the L.A. Times, and before that Gourmet, and the L.A. Weekly.
Gold rarely wrote 'bad' reviews, and would seek out the authentic, mom-and-pop places in the myriad neighborhoods of Los Angeles, his birthplace and lifelong home city. Some of his reviews changed the fortunes of struggling restaurants, as many L.A. Times readers dutifully followed Gold's recommendations. Gold earned this reputation with stunning prose, often dropping illusions to literature, music, film, and religion in his reviews of Korean, Mexican, Vietnamese and various other types of restaurants in the L.A. area. In writing about a mole from East L.A.'s Moles La Tia, he wrote it was "so dark that it seems to suck the light out of the airspace around it, spicy as a novella and bitter as tears, a mole whose aftertaste can go on for hours."
Looking at his writing is a reminder for us to explore Philadelphia, our city, and the neighborhoods near and far for the innumerable gems they have to share with us. Stray off the beaten path, take a journey, bring a friend, and try something new to you.
The L.A. Times has opened its paywall to all things Jonathan Gold. Do check out some of his reviews and other pieces. Here's a link to his appreciation of Anthony Bourdain, who we also lost this year.

The Kismet co-working space in Chestnut Hill was amazing. I loved that there were different environments you could choose to work in. Cozier spots with dim lighting, the super bright kitchen area, to couch seating. Kismet truly has it all. Not to mention outlets GALORE! I love all the free snacks and the delicious coffee from High Point. One thing that sets Kismet apart from other co-working spaces in the attention to architecture and design.
Heather Wilsmer
Kismet is a beautiful environment to spend your work day. Lots of natural light, aesthetically-pleasing workspaces, and snacks!! Perfect for day-to-day work, meetings, even as an event venue. Can't say enough good things about Kismet.

Liezel Huber during a practice session in San Diego.
CoCo Vandeweghe helping a young player at the U.S. Fed Cup Team's tennis clinic.
Bethanie Mattek-Sands, Melanie Oudin, Liezel Huber and CoCo Vandeweghe played in the 2010 Fed Cup Final against Itlay in San Diego, Calif. November 6-7. A different team member shared her thoughts exclusively with USTA.com throughout the week.
I think Fed Cup can bring out the best in people and I really think it brought it out in me today in my win over Francesca. I played really, really well. It really stinks that we lost but we did better than last year when we lost 4-0. Hopefully we play Italy again next year in the final and we will get them!
I know exactly how CoCo feels right now after losing her match today. I lost both matches last year in the final, including the match that won the tie for Italy against Pennetta. It was pretty tough. I think we got a little revenge this year, I lost to Francesca last year and was able to beat her today. We are a good team, we love each other and we win as a team and lose as a team.
It has been a great week here in San Diego overall. We have such a good staff here, from the trainers to the doctors, hitting partners, coaches and everything. And the team, we all get along so well. Italy was just a more experienced team and were just better in the end. But like I said, hopefully by next year we will be the better team and take the title!
It has been a great couple of days since we arrived here in San Diego and it has been a great week of practice. Doing the kids clinic yesterday was a lot of fun, especially holding it at the Barnes Tennis Center, where I kind of got my start in tennis was awesome. I enjoyed getting asked all those questions by the kids and finding out what they wanted to know about the life of a professional tennis player was pretty cool to hear and hopefully I helped them out.
They asked if it was hard being away from our families when we travel, what was the best advice we could give to young players and a bunch of other great questions.
I actually won my first tournament at the Barnes Tennis Center. I have played a lot there over the years and had lot of good battles.
As for our team this week, we are staying at the Hard Rock Hotel, which is definitely a very hip, interesting hotel. We have our breakfast, lunch and dinner on the roof of the hotel in an enclosed area with great views and we have a lot of fun. It is where we have our games of charades, although I have to say I failed miserably in our first round. We have not played since because we have been practicing late and everyone has been tired but we might get it going again tonight. The games do get a little intense. We are all competitors and we want to win no matter if it tennis or charades or whatever it is that we are goofing around doing!
Tomorrow we have the draw ceremony at SeaWorld where we will find out who is playing what matches this weekend - so stay tuned!
This year has definitely been a challenge for me. My thinking is that you go through tough times so that you can learn and that it would be boring if everything was just great all the time. I have tried to focus on the positive. In my career, this has probably been the most challenging year. Early in the year, my longtime doubles partner Cara Black and I broke up. We had no intention of a long-term breakup but that is how it turned out unfortunately.
I have had 11 different doubles partners this year and it has been great in a way because I have really enjoyed playing with every single one and the results have been great with all of them, I have really gotten to know some unbelievable girls and made some great friendships. At the same time it has been challenging because you get spoiled when you play with one partner. With different partners, you don't know what you are going to get the next week and sometimes I went to a tournament and did not know who my partner was going to be. In a way, it has been tough in my personal life. A lot of things happened this year. I can't even go into it because there were such traumatic things that happened. But if I tell you I can't wait until 2011 to come, in fact I wish it was here tomorrow.
Having said that, this is the highest note the year can end on, this Fed Cup final, and I am really happy to be there. The team is so inspiring and my job here this week is to motivate the team, keep everyone positive, keep us in a good groove and know if we try out hardest, we are giving ourselves the best chance possible to win. So for me, this is a really great way to end a difficult year. There is still a reward that came out of it that we can come together as a team and still compete for something as big as a Fed Cup title to bring back to our home nation.
I feel so comfortable here in San Diego. We have the best weather, we are very comfortable in our accommodations and the site is beautiful inside. It is just great being home. It is great not being out of the country and not having people there to support you. But this weekend, I have my family coming, I have friends from overseas coming and I have local friends from my home in Houston coming. But really I just wish the team the best for this week, for us to be healthy and fighting hard and that the fans come support us - it is so much appreciated!
After finishing my year in Quebec City, I took two weeks off with no tennis and no fitness. I then started out with fitness again and the last few weeks I have been playing some points at home in Arizona. It was really nice being at home. I opted out of playing the tournaments in Asia this fall because I played a lot of matches at the end of the year, all in a row. The Olympus US Open Series just seemed to be a blur. I played almost everyday of the whole Series, both doubles and singles and I did well in both.
But I made the main draw of Australian Open, I am happy about that. I ended my season then in Quebec City, where I made the finals in both singles and doubles so I am feeling really good coming into the Fed Cup Final! I am confident in my play, I am confident in my matches so the biggest thing is just staying healthy, which is why I took the time off.
It is cool to be here in San Diego because I missed the Fed Cup Final last year in Italy, which I was really bummed about. But last year I was given the option, either I take time off or I have another surgery so obviously I took time off.
But I think this year is a different story, we are at home. San Diego is great, the weather is perfect and I think all the players are feeling comfortable here. We have only been here two days and everyone is playing great, feeling very good and you can almost feel the excitement in the air. I am pumped to be here. It is the first Fed Cup final I have been in and it is a big deal to be here!

Slow Cambridgeshire and the Fens travel guide – Holiday advice and tourist information covering walking, wildlife, accommodation, restaurants, towns, stately homes and more. Includes Cambridge, Ely, St Ives, Godmanchester, Huntingdon, Wisbech and St Neots, plus Grantchester, Wicken Fen and Duxford Imperial War Museum and narrowboat cruising.

East Devon & The Jurassic Coast (Slow Travel)
This new book adds Cambridgeshire and the Fens to Bradt's award-winning Slow Travel series – the biggest series of UK regional travel guides, now over 20 titles strong. No other title offers the range and depth of information on this varied, beautiful and surprisingly undiscovered region. Cambridge itself attracts visitors, students, professionals and academics from around the world, but beyond the University City lie towns and villages, wide open spaces, gentle waterways and wonderful cycling and walking country that comparatively few take time to discover. Engaging and unexpected, this is an informative guide that captures both the stand-out highlights and lesser-known attractions of this unique part of East Anglia.
Key information on where to go and stay, and what to eat, see and do is complemented by local expertise, with inclusion of interviews and insider tips from Cambridgeshire locals and area specialists. Active and slow exploration is included, with a range of walks, cycle routes and watersports – kayaking and paddle-boarding, and not just punting! Historic towns, striking estates and monastic sites are featured, with places such as Ely, St Ives, Ramsey, Wimpole Hall, and Denny and Anglesey abbeys all coming under the spotlight. Then there's the quintessential English villages like the Hemingfords and the Shelfords and the ancient earthworks of Fleam Dyke and Wandlebury Ring. Rounding off the picture, to the north and east of Cambridge are the intriguing, pancake-flat Fens, home to Britain's lowest point, and Fenland towns such as Wisbech, Chatteris and March which were once islands. In contrast, to the south, the landscape changes to rolling chalk uplands, with the alluring Gog Magog Hills and the county's highest point in Great Chishill.
Given its only city is known worldwide, Cambridgeshire and the Fens remain a surprising mystery to many who visit, but this new title from Bradt, with its relaxed, informal style, wide range of maps, and mix of practical and descriptive information, is the perfect way to lift the lid on one of the country's most distinctive and attractive areas.
Lucy Grewcock moved to the Nene Valley on the Cambridgeshire border in the early '90s. Aged ten, she arrived kicking and screaming (quite literally) when her family upped sticks from the hills of Herefordshire. Reluctant to accept her new home at first, she slowly softened to its charms, lured by chocolate-box villages, jaw-dropping Cambridge colleges and the wild and mysterious Fens. Over the years, she has walked, cycled, paddled, swum and windsurfed her way through the county. As a writer, she delved deeper when she co-authored an award-winning book about wild places in South East England, taking the lead on the Cambridgeshire and Fens chapters. Although Lucy now lives in Sussex, her parents and sister never left East Anglia, giving her two second homes that she returns to regularly.

Freedom in Captivity: Identity and Non-Identity with Oneself in Chekhov's Short Story "Mechty"
Nikita Nankov, Indiana University
This paper entwines two lines in Chekhov studies: research on the poetics of his prose fiction (Kataev, Chudakov, Tulloch, De Sherbinin, and Zubarev), and interpretation of this prose fiction within the framework of philosophy, especially existentialism and phenomenology (M. Senderovich, "Chekhov's Existential Trilogy").
In some of Chekhov's short stories such as "Mechty," "Shutochka," or "Potselui," two opposite characteristics of the same literary phenomenon (a character, setting, narrative viewpoint, etc.) exist simultaneously. For example, the nameless vagrant in "Mechty" is both a peasant and nobleman. These phenomena are non-identical to each other. In Chekhov's prose fiction, such ambivalent phenomena are combined with phenomena identical with themselves. Generally speaking, non-identity with oneself is a positive ethical and aesthetic category that connotes the human in its full potential, whereas identity with oneself is a negative ethical and aesthetic notion and stands for a life that has not achieved its potential.
It is methodologically convenient to explore this peculiarity of Chekhov's poetics with the help of existentialism and phenomenology not because Chekhov "quotes" these philosophical trends (he does not), but because both Chekhov and these traditions in philosophy speak of human existence in close terms. The philosophical concepts parallel to Chekhov's juxtaposition of the non-identical and the identical are the understanding of man as something that constantly creates him- or herself by free choices and practical activity and thus always transcends him- or herself; on the one hand; and the non-human is seen as always unchangeable (Jose Ortega y Gasset, Heidegger, Sartre), on the other.
"Mechty" enacts the problem of identity and non-identity with oneself on several narrative levels: 1) the portrayal of the two village policemen oscillates between their identity with themselves as representatives of institutional authority and their non-identity with themselves as human beings; 2) the depiction of the hobo's portrait, social and educational background, and his speech makes him the most complex character in the story; 3) Russian nature is described as both a space of constriction where the laws of physics do not operate but also a space of freedom and opulence; and 4) the two narrative viewpoints in "Mechty"--the concrete and the universal --are explained by comparing two themes in the story: a) that of speaking and/or keeping silent and b) that of constricted and/or expanding space.


The guy who got sucker punched by one of Lil Wayne's bodyguards last week has a future in law ... because after getting decked he almost immediately laid the groundwork for a lawsuit.
TMZ obtained the 911 call which he made 10 minutes after the brutal assault. We broke the story, the victim went to Wayne's Fort Lauderdale concert last month, which started more than 3 1/2 hours late. He was angry and held up a phone banner that read "F*** Weezy." Wayne pointed the guy out to his hired muscle, who went down and sucker punched the guy ... twice.
The victim is very persistent with the 911 dispatcher, explaining he needed to memorialize what happened immediately, for solid legal reasons.
We smell a lawsuit, and the bodyguard's gonna have company.

National History of Phi Beta Kappa
Phi Beta Kappa, the nation's oldest and largest academic honor society, was founded on Dec. 5, 1776, by five students at the College of William & Mary in Williamsburg, Va. It was the first society to have a Greek letter name. And in its early years it introduced the essential characteristics of such societies: an oath of secrecy (discarded in 1831), a badge, mottoes in Latin and Greek, a code of laws, and an elaborate initiation ritual. The members held regular meetings, generally with an emphasis on literary exercises, especially composition and debating. Fraternal sentiments were fostered, and the purpose of some meetings was simply good fellowship. Anniversaries were celebrated in the Apollo Room of the Raleigh Tavern, which the College of William & Mary has recreated on its campus in Phi Beta Kappa Hall.
The original Phi Beta Kappa Society was active for only four years because the approach of the British Army under General Cornwallis forced the college to close. But the faith of those youthful scholars in the future of their Society is shown by their preparation of charters for branches at two other institutions. A charter was voted to Harvard, on Dec. 4, 1779, and to Yale four days later. The charters were delivered-in reverse order— to groups of students in New Haven, Conn., and in Cambridge, Mass., creating Alpha of Connecticut at Yale in November 1780, and Alpha of Massachusetts at Harvard in September 1781. This began the tradition of designating each state's chapter with a letter from the Greek alphabet to indicate where it fits chronologically in that state's chapters: Alpha of Virginia at the College of William & Mary was inactive between 1780 and 1851, and again from early in the Civil War until 1893. However Alpha at Harvard has had an uninterrupted existence, and Alpha at Yale has had only one inactive period, from 1871 to 1884. These chapters largely determined the permanent character of Phi Beta Kappa and shaped its policy on the establishment of other new chapters. The two New England branches preserved the essential qualities of the Virginia experience, adopting changes in procedure to suit local conditions. Shortly before the end of the academic year, the members selected from the junior class a small group of outstanding students who, the following year, constituted the "immediate society." Later this role would be assumed by faculty members who had been invited to join Phi Beta Kappa as undergraduates, and most of a chapter's new members would be initiated as seniors.
Fifty years after the Society's move into New England, only four more chapters existed: Alpha of New Hampshire at Dartmouth in 1787; Alpha of New York at Union in 1817; Alpha of Maine at Bowdoin in 1825; and Alpha of Rhode Island at Brown in 1830. The new charters were granted by the concurrent action of the existing Alphas. Fifteen more chapters were established in the next three decades. In 1883 the United Chapters of Phi Beta Kappa was founded, which provided a unified organization for the Society. By that time, 25 chapters had been chartered, although not all were active, and about 14,000 members had been elected. Alpha of Vermont, at the University of Vermont, admitted the first women members in 1875. And in 1876, four women were elected by Gamma of Connecticut at Wesleyan. Although this step was regarded in some quarters as revolutionary, it aroused no formal protest. A few years later, when a general constitution and bylaws were adopted, the right of women to membership was accepted without question. The University of Vermont also led the way in electing the Society's first black member, who was initiated in 1877. The first black woman member was elected at Cornell in 1905. The first Society chapters at historically black institutions were established at Howard and Fisk, both in 1953.
Since 1883, the number of chapters has increased from 25 to 270, and membership has grown accordingly. In 1900, when the first general catalogue was published, the living membership was about 10,500. Today it is more than 500,000. As the organization acquired a truly national character, some members created off-campus groups in their communities, called Phi Beta Kappa associations, to foster the Society's educational mission. The development of the associations made it clear that the term "United Chapters" - implying existence only at colleges and universities — no longer described the scope of Phi Beta Kappa's programs. In 1988 the delegates at the 35th Triennial Council voted to change the organization's name to "The Phi Beta Kappa Society." This inclusive designation, also the historic name of the Society, now appears on all of its legal documents and publications.

Finally got a good gastro doc is doing lots of tests on me. No pain at all but these night sweats and total loss of taste and in bed practically 24/7 I finally got dressed to see him.

Home Defense NATO partners close out Saber Strike 16
NATO partners close out Saber Strike 16
Air Force photograph by SrA. Nicole Keim
A U.S. Army soldier holds the U.S. flag during a closing ceremony at Tapa Training Base, Estonia, June 21, 2016. U.S. forces in Europe participated in Saber Strike 16; a long-standing, U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff-directed, U.S. Army Europe-led cooperative-training exercise, which has been conducted annually since 2010. This year's exercise focused on promoting interoperability with allies and regional partners. The United States has enduring interests in supporting peace and prosperity in Europe and bolstering the strength and vitality of NATO, which is critical to global security.
More than 200 NATO service members gathered at Tapa Training Base, Estonia, for the closing ceremony of Saber Strike 16 June 21.
U.S. service members were only one component of the large-scale theater security-cooperation exercise that began June 12.
Participating nations included Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, as well as Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Luxembourg, Norway, Poland, Slovenia, United Kingdom and the United States.
The exercise was held in multiple locations throughout Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, facilitated cooperation among NATO allies and improved joint-operational capability across a range of missions to prepare the 13 participating nations to support multinational-contingency operations around the world.
During the ceremony, leaders spoke about the efforts put forth by all who participated and thanked one another for the unified partnership that made the exercise a success.
"It is great to see all of you service members from so many different nations," said Taavi Roivas, Estonian prime minister. "It is also great to see that all of our nations are working together as one and that Saber Strike 16 was a great success."
U.S. Army Brig. Gen. Blake Ortner, 29th Infantry Division commander and SbS 16 co-exercise director, shared his thoughts on the events.
"The most important thing that's built during these exercises are the trusted relationships," said Ortner. "You can't schedule, plan or order that. Those trusted relationships are what make us truly strong as an alliance and also as a bilateral team with whatever nation we are working with."
SbS16 also featured the integration of U.S. close-air support with allied and partner-nation ground forces and testing of U.S. air and naval deployment of forces and equipment.
"The most impressive part of the exercise was the integration of the B-52 strategic bomber in a close-air support role as well as the A-10s that were used in [field training exercises] as well as live fires," said Ortner. "For the first time in 32 years the A-10s did an austere landing along a highway, here in Estonia."
SbS 16 went off without a hitch because of the hard work of partnered nations that sometimes endured obstacles to accomplish the mission.
"Shared sacrifice has a benefit all of its own," said Ortner. "When you have [service members] out there living together, sweating, stressed out, getting rained on]and living through those conditions, real unity and trust are built."
Exercise Saber Strike is just one way the U.S. and allies improve the relationships built over the past 70 years, and continues to provide strategic access critical to meet the NATO commitment to respond to threats against allies and partners.

YESTERDAY'S GONE
YESTERDAY'S GONE - Demons
... are an unapologetically loud & dirty Southern Fried Blues Rock band hailing from the Sheffield & Chesterfield region of the U.K - an area which is already hugely rich in powerful rock heritage, and it's fair to say that YESTERDAY'S GONE are simply helping to keep that tradition alive & kicking!
They have received glowing plaudits from across a wide spectrum of the Rock Media & Press for their eardrum-popping two E.P's , as well as for their explosive , yet fun & inclusive , live shows
Reviewers and social media commentators often note that the band brings an equal element of both rockstar swagger AND down-to-Earth humour & dry observation to their performance. In fact, it is impossible not to be carried along for the ride when you are in such affable & noisy company.
YESTERDAY'S GONE - Whiskey Chaser
Yesterday's Gone is made up of a group of immensely talented individuals who all bring their respective skills to the table, yet who play only what's right for a particular song and who function as a single-minded unit when playing live.
The band really hit their stride in 2019 which saw them release their incredibly well-received single "Greed", which was followed up swiftly with their debut EP "Metamorphosis".
But regardless of whether they're touring the festival trail, performing stand alone gigs or doing intense studio sessions, this talented band have earned the admiration and respect of music critics & audience members alike for their absolutely relentless work ethic & attitude towards their music & their fans.
YESTERDAY'S GONE revel in bringing you a classic blues rock feel that somehow manages to feels refreshingly contemporary and Of-The-Moment, and a sound which is fully infused with body-moving riffs & hooks.
Despite the torrid time of the Pandemic their reputation as an incredible group has continued to grow exponentially even without the Live Music vector, as a whole host of locked down music fans have discovered their music online - bringing with it yet another wave of honest support from genuine Rock Music fans.
Joining forces with Forge Amp, who are a hugely influential and supportive member of the U.K National music scene was another natural step in the band's progression towards even bigger stages, while helping to give the band the time needed to continue to craft their music.
They have both received and given an incredible amount of support to Grassroots venues over the past few years, and this has proven to be even more important since the onset of the Lockdowns.
They have played a wide array of music festivals in the past few years (including the awesome HRH and Rockin The Bowl festivals) and are no strangers to Norwich, having played two incendiary consecutive shows at The Reindeer, where interest from the local music fans was so high it necessitated a second show.
So it is brilliant to be able to announce that YESTERDAY'S GONE will be headlining the Sunday Main Stage Closing Night of The Norwich A.I.R Fest '22 on the 5th of June - make sure you're there too!


PROVIDENCE, R.I. - For the second weekend in a row, the MIT water polo team traveled to Brown University for a weekend full of games. On the first day of the Bruno Fall Invitational on Saturday, the Engineers fell to the University of the Pacific with a score of 20-3, won against Connecticut College, 18-7, and narrowly fell to Brown, 14-10.
In the first game against Pacific, Balazs Erdelyi scored the first goal of the game just 30 seconds into the first period, but sophomore Kale Rogers (Newberg, Ore.) countered that by scoring a goal less than a minute later, tying the score at 1-1. Tech, however, was not able to get their hands on the ball much during the remaining few minutes and ended the first period trailing 7-1.
Twenty-nine seconds into the second quarter, senior Craig Cheney (Sherwood, Ore.) scored MIT's second goal, lessening the gap slightly. The Engineers only allowed two goals during that time. Sophomore Ory Tasman (Orlando, Fla.) scored MIT's third and final goal in the third period. After being held to zero goals during the final eight minute period, the game ended with a Pacific victory of 20-3.
Against Connecticut College, sophomore Matthew Orton (Los Altos Hills, Calif.) put MIT on the board within the first minute of play. This goal was quickly followed by two more shot by Rogers and junior Dylan Hallman (La Jolla, Calif.) and, with only one goal scored by Robert Spencer from Conn. College, the Engineers entered the second quarter with a 3-1 lead.
MIT continued with this same enthusiasm for the rest of the game. In all, 10 different Engineers contributed to their 18 goals, with senior Michael Farid (Dubai, United Arab Emirates) and Hallman being the only ones on Tech's team to score three goals each. Rogers, Dorne, Tasman and Orton scored two goals apiece.
In the final game of the day against Brown, MIT started the first few minutes of the first half tied with the Bears but slipped a few points behind after that. Freshman Patrick Everett (Ann Arbor, Mich.) and junior Jack Clark (Laguna Beach, Calif.) scored their first goals of the series during the first eight minutes, with Everett going on to score two more goals throughout the remainder of the game. He and Tasman were the only Engineers to score three goals apiece. The game ended with a Brown victory with a score of 14-10.
MIT will return to action for the second day of the Bruno Fall Invitational tomorrow when it faces Cal Lutheran at 11:00 a.m.


Besides endorsing Militant Islamist Ideology, McMaster also wrote a forward for another Aboul-Enein book, this one titled, Iraq in Turmoil: Historical Perspectives of Dr. Ali al-Wardi, From the Ottoman Empire to King Feisal.
Islam experts, meanwhile, have pointed out that mainstream Islamic scripture advocates a violent jihad to spread Islam worldwide.
There lies the duality within Islam. It's possible to claim, following Mohammed's example in Mecca, that Islam is a religion of peace. But it's also possible to claim, as the Islamic State does, that a revelation was sent to Mohammed commanding Muslims to wage jihad until every human being on the planet accepts Islam or a state of subservience, on the basis of his legacy in Medina.
The key question is not whether Islam is a religion of peace, but rather, whether Muslims follow the Mohammed of Medina, regardless of whether they are Sunni or Shiite.
McMaster, meanwhile, has espoused controversial views on the topics discussed in Aboul-Enein's book.
McMaster, who serves in a critical national security position, seems to be minimizing the central religious motivations of radical Islamic terrorist groups who are waging a religious war against Western civilization.
In May, McMaster spoke on ABC's This Week about whether Trump would use the phrase "radical Islamic terrorism" in a speech that the president was about to give in Saudi Arabia.
Shia and Sunni Islamic terrorist groups such as al-Qaida, Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad and the Islamic State each openly espouse Islamic motivations, repeatedly cite the Quran, and claim they are fighting a religious war. Some of the Sunni groups are violent offshoots of the Muslim Brotherhood, which seeks to create a global Islamic caliphate.
The IDF is known to go to extreme lengths to operate ethically and protect civilians when fighting Palestinian jihadists who use civilians as human shields, launch rocket attacks from civilian zones and house their terrorist infrastructures in densely populated civilian areas.
Earlier this month, the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA), the oldest pro-Israel group in the country, released an analysis of McMaster's policies and reported views, concluding that he should be reassigned outside the NSC after it found that McMaster may be undermining Trump's stated national security agenda.
We find it hard to understand how someone who clearly has animus toward Israel, who supports the disastrous Iran nuclear deal, who opposes calling out radical Islamist terrorists, who fires Trump loyalists and supporters of Israel and opponents of Iran, who hires those opposed to President Trump's policies especially on Israel and Iran, who refused to acknowledge that the Western Wall is in Israel, who opposes Israeli counterterrorism measures, and who shuts down joint U.S. counterterrorism programs that are of enormous value to U.S. security, can faithfully serve President Trump as top national security advisor. President Trump made it crystal clear, both before and since his election, that supporting Israel and the U.S.-Israel alliance, abrogating or at least vigorously enforcing the Iran deal while calling out and sanctioning Iran's violations, confronting radical Islamist terrorism, and draining the Washington swamp were key, distinguishing policies of his administration.
The ZOA's analysis cited Breitbart News articles from this reporter on McMaster's background.
Breitbart also reported that IISS is bankrolled by multinational corporate firms doing billions of dollars of business in Iran.
And IISS quietly took in about $32.5 million in funding from Bahrain, a country whose constitution explicitly enshrines Sharia Islamic law as its governing doctrine, Breitbart News documented.
The funding from Bahrain, a repressive regime with a dismal human rights track record but also an important regional U.S. ally, reportedly amounted to one quarter of the think tank's total income.

'I have been speaking English as a second language for the last 25 years and always wondering why I still sound foreign.
Janette's detailed analysis of my speech pattern and skilful teaching methods made me understand how English sounds work.
'I decided to take lessons for professional and personal reasons. As a non-native, reduction of my German accent was the main aim.
Janette's deep subject knowledge enabled her to break processes down into manageable segments so that they were easily understandable and completely achievable.
My ear became gradually attuned to the differing nuances between English and German, through lessons which were personalised and adapted to my specific needs.
Her passion for accent reduction is infectious and contributes much to both student enjoyment and progress.
Her inventive techniques always provide a route to success. Where one exercise is impossible, she simply develops another which is achievable, to ensure the same effect.
'Why don't they teach these English articulation exercises in schools?

As I had remained at home when the Germans invaded, the Hunts made me leave the house I lived in with my parents in Woumen-lez-Dixmude, where we were running a chemical fertiliser, grains and endives business, a wine and liqueurs business and my father held several administrative appointments. They would not let me take anything with me, not even my clothes.
DIXMUDE 1914 : CHANGE OF PROFESSION. Joseph D. a 30-year-old bachelor, was working as an officer messenger in a commercial concern run by his family. At the start of war, he was confined for 8 days in Woumen, in the attic of a house belonging to the municipal authorities along with some other inhabitants. He was then moved to Torhout and Lichtervelde, where he stayed for a few weeks before managing to escape.
In the wake of a British air raid on Lichtervelde during the night of 26 October 1917, the convent of the Daughters of St. Paul where he was being accommodated was destroyed, claiming 6 lives. Joseph D. was the only survivor. For 3 months he was completely unfit for work as various parts of his body were burned and his back and one arm were injured as a result of falling from the first floor when the building collapsed.

Knitting for Intensive Care Units and hats for the homeless - 12 hour knitting craziness.
We are raising money to knit hats for children in Intensive Care Units as well as knitting hats for the homeless in Reading and the surrounding areas through collaborating with the charity Launchpad. We're holding a 12 hour knit-athon from 8am -8pm at the University of Reading RUSU boardroom on Friday 2nd February 2018.
We are the committee for the University of Reading Domestic DIY Society (RUDDIYS) and we wanted to host our own event to support the local community using our talented crafters and anyone else who has a passion for knitting.
The causes we are supporting are varied but provide warmth to those in need as well as showing the recipients of the hats that others in the community care about and want to support them through difficult times in their lives.
The small hats for intensive care unit babies were some of the first knitted items made when the committee members were learning to knit and has been an ongoing project that we wished to spread awareness of. Hats of this size are required because babies born prematurely often have very limited clothing options from regular sources as they are so tiny. The hats help to regulate the babies temperature and keep them looking cosy.
Recently, the President of our committee slept rough for a night as part #sleepout2017 for the YMCA Burton. It was a humbling experience and extremely cold which inspired us to knit hats for Launchpad to support those in such conditions every single day.
We hope you agree that these are worthy causes to donate to, and help us to realise our goal!
We will be spending all the money earned on knitting needles, wool, postage and packaging and using extra money that is raised to continue to donate items to the charities involved (including Launchpad Reading http://www.launchpadreading.org.uk/ ).
However, we will have a donation pot on the day to collect any donations to go straight to the charities involved so bring along some spare change.
We have some small knitted items as a thank you for donations big and small.
We'd love any donation you can give to help us support these causes.
You can also support us by coming along to the knit-a-thon! The more the merrier.
But you don't need to give money to help us succeed! Please share this project with anyone you think would support us including friends, family and any inspired knitters. We'd love to see you at our knit-a-thon!
A shoutout in our commemorative video to be posted on our facebook page.
A small commemorative knitted hat - made with love.
