Buffalo Bird Woman's Garden
Posted on June 2, 2013	by Roberta Estes
As Recounted by
Maxi'diwiac (Buffalo Bird Woman) (ca.1839-1932) of the Hidatsa Indian Tribe
Originally published as
Agriculture of the Hidatsa Indians: An Indian Interpretation
by Gilbert Livingstone Wilson, Ph.D. (1868-1930)
In the words of Buffalo Bird Woman, herself, shown above in 1910:
"We Hidatsas believe that our tribe once lived under the waters of Devils Lake. Some hunters discovered the root of a vine growing downward; and climbing it, they found themselves on the surface of the earth. Others followed them, until half the tribe had escaped; but the vine broke under the weight of a pregnant woman, leaving the rest prisoners. A part of our tribe are therefore still beneath the lake.
My father, Small Ankle, going, when a young man, on a war party, visited Devils Lake. "Beneath the waves," he said, "I heard a faint drumming, as of drums in a big dance." This story is true; for Sioux, who now live at Devils Lake, have also heard this drumming.
Those of my people who escaped from the lake built villages near by. These were of earth lodges, such as my tribe built until very recent years; two such earth lodges are still standing on this reservation.
The site where an earth lodge has stood is marked by an earthen ring, rising about what was once the hard trampled floor. There are many such earthen rings on the shores of Devils Lake, showing that, as tradition says, our villages stood there. There were three of these villages, my father said, who several times visited the sites.
Near their villages, the people made gardens; and in these they planted ground beans and wild potatoes, from seed brought with them from their home under the water. These vegetables we do not cultivate now; but we do gather them in the fall, in the woods along the Missouri where they grow wild. They are good eating.
These gardens by Devils Lake I think must have been rather small. I know that in later times, whenever my tribe removed up the Missouri to build a new village, our fields the first year, were quite small; for clearing the wooded bottom land was hard work. A family usually added to their clearing each year, until their garden was as large as they cared to cultivate.
As yet, my people knew nothing of corn or squashes. One day a war party, I think of ten men, wandered west to the Missouri River. They saw on the other side a village of earth lodges like their own. It was a village of the Mandans. The villagers saw the Hidatsas, but like them, feared to cross over, lest the strangers prove to be enemies.
It was autumn, and the Missouri River was running low so that an arrow could be shot from shore to shore. The Mandans parched some ears of ripe corn with the grain on the cob; they broke the ears in pieces, thrust the pieces on the points of arrows, and shot them across the river. "Eat!" they said, whether by voice or signs, I do not know. The word for "eat" is the same in the Hidatsa and Mandan languages.
The warriors ate of the parched corn, and liked it. They returned to their village and said, "We have found a people living by the Missouri River who have a strange kind of grain, which we ate and found good!" The tribe was not much interested and made no effort to seek the Mandans, fearing, besides, that they might not be friendly.
However, a few years after, a war party of the Hidatsas crossed the Missouri and visited the Mandans at their village near Bird Beak Hill. The Mandan chief took an ear of yellow corn, broke it in two, and gave half to the Hidatsas. This half-ear the Hidatsas took home, for seed; and soon every family was planting yellow corn.
I think that seed of other varieties of corn, and of beans, squashes, and sunflowers, were gotten of the Mandans afterwards; but there is no story telling of this, that I know.
I do not know when my people stopped planting ground beans and wild potatoes; but ground beans are hard to dig, and the people, anyway, liked the new kind of beans better.
Whether the ground beans and wild potatoes of the Missouri bottoms are descended from the seed planted by the villagers at Devils Lake, I do not know.
My tribe, as our old men tell us, after they got corn, abandoned their villages at Devils Lake, and joined the Mandans near the mouth of the Heart River. The Mandans helped them build new villages here, near their own. I think this was hundreds of years ago.
Firewood growing scarce, the two tribes removed up the Missouri to the mouth of the Knife River, where they built the Five Villages, as they called them. Smallpox was brought to my people here, by traders. In a single year, more than half my tribe died, and of the Mandans, even more.
Those who survived removed up the Missouri and built a village at Like-a-fishhook bend, where they lived together, Hidatsas and Mandans, as one tribe. This village we Hidatsas called Mu'a-idu'skupe-hi'cec, or Like-a-fishhook village, after the bend on which it stood; but white men called it Fort Berthold, from a trading post that was there.
We lived in Like-a-fishhook village about forty years, or until 1885, when the government began to place families on allotments.
The agriculture of the Hidatsas, as I now describe it, I saw practiced in the gardens of Like-a-fishhook village, in my girlhood, before my tribe owned plows."

I recently purchased this book and I can't put it down. I am a farm educator in New York City and I am very interested in connecting with someone from Hidatsa tribe, and show me their farming practices in person. I have no clue where to start and I thought maybe the internet world can connect me with someone who can help me to make this happen.

One of the frustrations of many gardeners is enjoying a riot of color in their yard during spring and early summer…but by mid- to late-summer, the garden loses a lot of its impact. The solution is to plan your garden with plants that have different bloom times (during different seasons). This will ensure a succession of color from early spring through fall!
Trees — few flowering plants put on a prettier show than flowering trees!
The Eastern Redbud is a native tree that has a unique flowering pattern — pinkish-red buds appear on the branches before the tree's leaves appear!
The Snow Fountains Weeping Cherry tree is unsurpassed for spring interest. It not only produces fluffy, white blooms, but its shape mimics the cascading waters of a fountain.
Shrubs — spring-blooming shrubs bring landscapes to life after winter!
One of the earliest shrubs to bloom in spring — and often it's already blooming in late winter — Lynwood Gold Forsythia is covered with yellow, trumpet-shaped blossoms.
Living up to its name, Conversation Piece Azalea is a reblooming hybrid. This means that you'll enjoy its multicolor pink and white blooms in spring…and then you'll enjoy an encore performance in autumn!
Some abelias grow quite tall, but Edward Goucher Abelia stays compact — it grows to only 3 feet tall. Although the individual flowers are delicate, plants are simply covered with tiny, pink blossoms!
What a diverse group of flowering shrubs! Bearing the traditional "mophead" blooms, Endless Summer delivers in a big way — it's a re-blooming hydrangea, so expect your summer flowers to last longer than other mophead types. Differently formed flowers — in a panicle shape — grow on bi-colored Vanilla Strawberry Hydrangea. And a reblooming red hydrangea — Red Sensation — grows only three feet tall, making it perfect for containers!
The intoxicating scent of white gardenias fills any garden with natural perfume. From Frostproof Gardenia, an early summer bloomer, to August Beauty, with blooms lasting 'til late summer, gardenias are truly a garden staple.
There are many cultivars of the summer-flowering shrubs, but Variegated Weigela may be the prettiest. Delicate pink-and-white flowers are borne in profusion on plants that have stunning green-and-cream variegated leaves!
The quintessential summer-flowering plant, roses can take many forms, including groundcovers (drift roses), shrubs (Knockout roses) and standards (also called tree-form roses). There's a form and color for every gardener!
Although dahlias come in all shapes and sizes, it's the "dinnerplate dahlias" that are the real showstoppers. Having blooms of up to 10 inches in diameter, these dramatic beauties include names like Babylon Red (fiery red flowers), Avignon (multicolored white and purplish blooms) and Moonlight Sonata (peachy-pink and coral blossoms). Many dahlias are still blooming when the first frost in fall/winter hits!
With their grassy foliage and cheerful blooms, daylilies are one of the most versatile plants. Use them as accents, in containers or to line flowerbeds and sidewalks. Stella d'Oro and Happy Returns are two examples of re-blooming daylilies – they keep going all summer long!
Even if you don't have an herb garden, you must grow lavender. It excels as a foliage plant and a flowering plant. Although most lavender foliage is green or silvery in color, Platinum Blonde Lavender has variegated green, cream and yellow leaves! Like other lavenders, it also bears flowers of purplish-blue.

The stereotype of eco-friendly clothes (the hemp-heavy, crunchy-granola kind of stuff worn by the hacky sack crowd) is something that Sarah Barr is out to change.
She's the owner of Green Tree Eco Fashion,(358 Richmond Rd.) a boutique for those with a bent for both the environmentally friendly and the fashion-fierce.
The passionate fashionista, who has worked at Chanel and Holt Renfew, amongst other notable companies, describes the clothes at her store as "edgy, modern, current, and funky," and one gets the sense that she wants customers to feel that way, too, when they're done shopping at Green Tree.
Barr clearly wants women and men to look outside their pre-conceived notions. She encourages people to dress for their body type — which often results, she says, in customers having a new, more positive, perspective on how they look.
Barr, who grew up sewing, and still does the tailoring for the shop, says that fit is key when it comes to clothes. "Tailoring is very important," she explains. "If it doesn't fit perfectly, it's just a piece of fabric." She often fine-tunes items for customers so they fit just so.


Father's day may be over but you can still get your Dad a practical and creative gift that's also easy on the pocket—an Auto Parts Readiness Kit. It's basically a collection of common and easy-to-use replacement parts and accessories that Dad can keep handy in the garage or trunk for safety and for future use.
In an interview with KGO 810 News, AutoPartsWarehouse.com's Rob Mullner discusses the top five essential auto parts, including replacement windshield wiper blades and air filters, that should be in the readiness kit, plus some bonus parts and accessories.
The entire kit costs well under $100 but is definitely a much better value than a another new pair of khakis, don't you think?


If you haven't heard of Jane Friedman, you need to look her up ASAP. She's a celebrated person within the literary agency. Earlier this year at the San Francisco Writers Conference, I had the pleasure of attending the luncheon where she was a keynote speaker. Plenty of words of wisdom from this amazing woman.
So what I'd love to share with you today is Jane Friedman's Back to Basics: Writing a Novel Synopsis. Why? Because I'm about to start writing my synopsis.
Check it out and let me know what you think. If you have any other great synopsis articles, please feel free to share within the comments.
Let me share one more here because it has a nifty "fill in the blank" worksheet to help you build your synopsis. Check out Susan Dennard's How to Write a 1-Page Synopsis. It's pretty amazeballs.

Investing in the future today
Whilst wide-ranging, some core objectives are intended to be pursued, such as financial education to those in need in our local area and to consider if a suitable programme is possible to roll-out more widely. The Foundation will also become a focus for some of the present rather more eclectic programmes which the Company and its founders have supported, from the Local Museum building appeal to sponsoring foreign aid studentships and small local charities with specific needs, so these can all be channelled in future through a cohesive strategy and through one organisation. It would be hoped too that according to the size of the Foundation that some staffing (probably by secondment as no employment is being considered) will be provided to it to start to promote it and its endowments and to act as a conduit and possibly a match-funder to encourage other good causes, especially in the local area. Of course it is important to realise it cannot do all of these things all of the time but it is excellent to have noble plans and objectives to which to work.
Charity Objectives
To provide grants to any of the following as the
Trustees shall see fit:
Any UK registered charity operating in the areas of education, poverty relief, disaster relief or Christian activity
Any organisation operating in the North Devon region to benefit local community facilities, the arts or culture for the public benefit
Any individual anywhere in the world for the purpose of education or training, poverty relief or medical treatment
Any organisation assisting in the development of programmes for financial education including budgeting, basic finance, home economics and basic culinary skills
All of the above provide benefit to the public in some form. Helping the public in financial education for example can ensure that fewer are reliant on the State and can better manage their own finances. We also look to assisting the community of North Devon and beyond with grants which otherwise would not be available from other sources.
Our Efforts
Philip J Milton & Company in its various guises has always recognised the local community from which much of its success emanates. Over the years, the Company and its owners have supported ventures worldwide and especially locally and as the Company has grown an objective grew to create a separate Charitable Foundation which will receive donations (albeit primarily from the Company and its owners) and then be available to generate and provide endowment funding in support of its charitable objectives.
These causes are myriad and will hone the present charitable support of the Company and its owners and also provide a launchpad to extend and increase this involvement through the generous initial bequest by the owners to seed the start-up capital to that end but it is intended to fund further capital on an ongoing basis too.
There is also opportunity to support a small-scale Local Needs' social housing venture and this would not be excluded from the considerations in helping those in need locally too. However, that would not be allowed to concentrate the energies of the Foundation of course, in exclusion to other activities. Over the years, since the founding Company's establishment in 1985, its charitable responses have been somewhat fragmented so the creation of the Foundation will hone that activity and create operational efficiencies too. It will also act as an appropriate encouraging entity to the Staff of the Firm who participate in its success, so that they will recognise better its community and charitable objectives within the mainstream business, as provided as a consequence of its success. It will also create a suitable public charitable front for Philip J Milton & Company Plc Thus this is planned to be a charity which can continue into perpetuity and beyond the Firm's present owners' lifetimes and as key beneficiaries within their Wills in due course, too. It would be good if the Foundation can engage in local community works too and promotions of all the morals and ethical values of the Firm itself.

They stopped me telling my story to the other patients, despite them all wanting to here it.
I'd been in a residential unit before, I've stayed at the royal hospital for Nero disability. I was there for 9 months and never once thought about leaving or had reason to complain. This however is not the case for Blackheath.
They have been unhelpful and lazy since day one.
On the first night they took off the sling wrong and lost my medication.
For the first there day I had no medication (because they had lost it) this lead to some very painful withdrawal.
They made another six mistakes with my medication.
They also keep calling me Jason, not Daniel!
About week three is was ready for bed, about 9 o'clock. I press the nurse call button, after about five minutes(nothing new here). I went in search of the rehab assistant, only to fine her show off,feet up on a chair watching TV. She was the only rehab assistant on the floor, and the TV was so loud she could not hear the bell.
All of this I've put on my blog www.mage-net.net and Facebook They told me Friday (28/07/2012) They where thinking of seeing me!
This shows what an unprofessional attitude they have.
I am not the only person hear who thinks there methods need to be fixed! I've called in Lewisham PCT safeguarding, CQC and my social worked all of whom I've complained to about the standard of care at Blackheath.
My parents have met one other family, and even they (the other family) said the place is like a prision.
As of Thursday afternoon (02/08/2012) I'm am going to be discharge, this not only affects my rehab but also sends a message complain and we will kick you out.
Their are other families that want to complain, but having seen how I've been treated will not, for fear of bing victimised.
They have told me that i've upset the staff, I've been rude and that someone has talked to me about the hoist. However I spoken to a few of the rehab assistances and not one of them thinks this.
This is my last real hope of walking again and they have now taken that away from me!


RTLabs completed the update of the Unified Public Services Portal (gosuslugi.ru) commissioned by Rostelecom and the Ministry of Communications. The features of the main page and user's personal account have been expanded; personalized notifications have been added, as well as quick access to life situations services and user support.
The main page of the public services portal received a menu with basic information from the personal account, hot keys to access to life situations services, and user support options have been added. The interface has been updated to make it more user-friendly. "The portal needs to be constantly improved so that it meets the current requirements for the convenience and capabilities of a modern website. The latest major update of the portal was conducted in summer 2016, since then we have repeatedly performed usability tests and as a result we have changed a lot. The update will make the services more personalized and enable servicing citizens based on their life situations. The updated public services portal in combination with a mobile application will help people to save their time," said Alexander Pavlovich, Deputy Director of the e-Government Development Department of the Russian Telecom Ministry. The personal account now provides an individual profile analysis, reminders are published to inform that it is necessary to provide missing data, documents details, to promote the account level. Topic-based units "My Health", "Transport and Driving", "Family and Children" have been also added containing a list of relevant services. The notification line functionality has been extended dramatically.
"While operating the e-government infrastructure, we receive feedback from our users, which subsequently becomes the driver of changes to the Unified Public Services Portal. Besides, to improve the user experience we engage new forms of communication with gamification elements - we offer citizens to conduct interactive testing of our portal and pass a mini-quest for public services," said Mikhail Bondarenko, Director for E-Government at Rostelecom.
There are now 70.5 million citizens registered on the Unified Public Services Portal. They can order services through the website or mobile application. The most popular services are car registration with the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate, obtaining driver's license, obtaining passport at the age of 18, getting information about fines, tax debts, enforcement proceedings. 1.24 billion services were ordered through the Unified Public Services Portal and mobile application as of 2017. The unified portal of public services is the 12th mostly visited website by monthly reach in the Russian segment of the Internet.

In an extract from his essay featured in our second monograph, SPIRIT LINES: Graphics by Sylvia and Tony Convey, writer, curator and artist, Colin Rhodes offers a fascinating insight into the Convey's graphic oeuvres. And in doing so, he somehow manages to reveal something about us all.
It is an unfortunate truism of art history that graphic work has usually taken second place to other media. Art museums like to collect and show painting and sculpture.[i] At times this has resulted in the relegation of artists who work primarily on paper to minor roles in movements in which they were centrally involved. Or, more likely, the public comes to understand only partial practices in the cases of those artists for whom drawing and printmaking played active and vital parts. True, works on paper tend to be less physically hardy than painting and sculpture, but the museum tradition of placing them in a closed 'graphics cabinet' as distinct from open gallery display also suggests a distinction between private and public practice. Perhaps there is something to this. There are many artists who draw incessantly, yet never show this work. They consider it too speculative, or too personal. After all, the immediacy of image making in the graphic media lends itself to revelatory statements, whether intended or not.
So it is with the graphic work of Sylvia and Tony Convey. Though they have shown works on paper at times throughout their lives (Sylvia more often than Tony), they have been represented overwhelmingly in public by their paintings, sculptures and constructions. They produced much of their mountain of graphic work over the years, as it were, in secret. It was done in a domestic setting, with no audience in mind except themselves.
It is worth pausing here and saying something about the Conveys. Sylvia and Tony are fiercely individual, with distinct characters and backgrounds.[ii] Their work is similarly distinctive, not only stylistically but also in its expressive sensibilities. They do not collaborate on single works, so there exist two separate oeuvres. And yet… Sylvia and Tony have as often as not worked together; that is, in the same space at the same time. Together they have shared new discoveries and great swathes of the highs, lows and mundanities of lived experience. During a period when Sylvia was very ill in the mid-1990s, for example, she introduced Tony to monoprinting and the two of them worked in the medium every day in a shared artistic adventure that lasted over a year. They have explored identical narratives and subjects from their particular viewpoints – compare Sylvia's Strong Bond (1986) and Maternal (1997) and Tony's treatments of the same subject from 1988 and 1998, for example. Their common bond goes beyond mere partnership and the transactional. In a real, though intangible, way time and interaction has performed a kind of seeping and intermingling of personhood the one into the other. The result is a kind of pronounced connectedness that actually enhances rather than threatens individual personality. We might also similarly read the sum of their work, and especially their graphic output, which reveals itself with great immediacy.

Laura Bates picks five books on how to achieve gender equality
Laura Bates
# Class issues
# Feminism
# Harriet Harman
# LGBT rights
# Politics books
# Race
# Women
From a novel about domestic violence to Nigeria's queer women in their own words, these are empowering and inspiring works
They say "don't get mad, get even". But what if we need to get mad first? What if we can't begin to imagine equality until we've first been allowed to find an outlet for our long-silenced, unacknowledged, righteous fury? Rage Becomes Her, a love letter to women's anger by Soraya Chemaly, gives women everywhere the permission to get mad as hell … and then to get even.
It's easy for those of us who have experienced gendered abuse to feel rage, but perhaps more difficult to spur the same passion in those without personal experience of the problem. So Meena Kandasamy's searing Women's Prize shortlisted When I Hit You is a timely and vital opportunity to expose readers to the crushing reality of domestic violence and the suffocating horror of a society that would rather see women suffer in silence than speak out.
It's one thing to agree on the urgent need to achieve equality and another to agree how it should be achieved. In battling the injustice of the gender pay gap, activists are increasingly highlighting the much greater pay gap between white men and women of colour. When we tackle the fact that one in four women in the UK experiences domestic violence, our solution must acknowledge that this number increases to one in two among disabled women. Amid debates about the direction of the modern feminist movement, Can We All Be Feminists?, edited by June Eric-Udorie and published in September, presents new writing from 17 women on finding the right way forward, taking into account the intersections between different forms of prejudice. And if we want to create lasting change, we first need to hear as many voices as possible, including those that have long been silenced. Told in women's own words, a new anthology She Called Me Woman: Nigeria's Queer Women Speak provides a window into lives that have often been hidden, stigmatised or ignored. Their voices are poignant, loving, funny and courageous.
Poetry can be more compelling than the most powerful argument in prose, and few readers could fail to be enriched, arrested and altered by The Collected Poems of Audre Lorde. This is poetry to thrill and absorb, exploring everything from love to oppression to maternity with a pulsating urgency as compelling as any of the author's non-fiction writing.
A huge number of lessons for us to draw on … Harriet Harman (left) with the late Tessa Jowell in 1996. Photograph: Stefan Rousseau/PA
Nobody said equality was only going to be won by grownups. A new generation of young women is rising up to fight for fairness, resulting in a recent boom in school and university feminist societies. If we really want to change hearts and minds, it's never too young to start talking about equality, particularly when you consider that a quarter of seven-year-olds have dieted to lose weight and girls today are targeted with plastic surgery apps and dolls so emaciated they make Barbie look plus-size. What better way to inspire budding feminists than a book like I Dissent, Debbie Levy's entertaining and enraging account of the life of supreme court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Complete with gorgeous illustrations by Elizabeth Baddeley, it is one of a wave of recent books for young readers that present real-life role models.
As the whirlwind of revelations that is the #MeToo movement continues, it is easy to think of our current moment as unique. Reading Harriet Harman's A Woman's Work is a sobering and humbling reminder of the battles generations of women before us have already fought, and it provides a huge number of lessons for us to draw on as we continue to fight.

10 Years or Life
Reveal, from the Center for Investigative Reporting, October, 2018
Prince Albert dreamed of becoming a merchant marine. But that dream was derailed when he was injured in the Navy. After doctors prescribed him painkillers, he slipped into a pattern of drug abuse and was jailed repeatedly for possession.
Being caught more than once set Albert on a collision course with New Orleans' draconian habitual offender law (also known as its "three strikes law"), which can be used to impose long sentences – even for nonviolent crimes. Because Albert lived in New Orleans, his fate landed in the hands of District Attorney Leon Cannizzaro. DAs have tremendous leeway in how they charge crimes, and when it comes to this law, Cannizzaro uses it with shocking regularity.

If You Can't Afford a Lawyer
Reveal, from the Center for Investigative Reporting, December 2016
If you can't afford a lawyer, one will be appointed to you – that's how it's supposed to work. But in New Orleans, Chief Public Defender Derwyn Bunton, the lawyer in charge of representing poor people accused of crimes, is saying no. His office doesn't have enough money or time to do a good job, he says, so he's refusing some serious cases, which is jamming up the courts and leaving hundreds of people stuck in jail with no lawyer. Bunton's goal? To break the system in order to fix it.
The sixth amendment guarantees the right to an attorney, but no where does it say how to pay for it. How New Orleans public defenders decided to throw a wrench in the judicial system in order to inject more justice in it.

Remembering New Orleans' Overlooked Ties to Slavery
NPR, July, 2015
Most Americans hear the phrase "slave trade" and picture ships sailing across the Atlantic Ocean, with captured Africans chained inside, terrorized and sick. But twice as many people were sold in the Domestic Slave Trade, which forcibly moved over a million people, primarily from the Upper South to the Lower South, primarily over land and on foot. After the United States outlawed international slave trading in 1808, New Orleans became home to the nation's largest domestic slave market.
Who Sang it First? Mockingbirds and Musicians Cover Each Other in New Orleans

Chart Topping "Chapel of Love" Turns 50
NPR, June 2014
Fifty years ago the Beatles crossed over to America, and it seemed no one could unseat them from the top of the charts.

The Dixie Cups "Chapel of Love" featured the harmonies of two sisters — Barbara Ann and Rosa Lee Hawkins — along with their cousin Joan Marie Johnson.

New Orleans' Micro Krewe, 'tit Rex, Acquires a Schwa
'tit Rex is a parade in miniature.

Plessy and Ferguson Remembered
In 1892, Homer Plessy was thrown off a train and arrested for riding in a railway car designated whites only. His planned act of civil disobedience eventually made its way to the Supreme Court in the landmark case Plessy vs. Ferguson, marking, for some, the beginning of the civil rights movement.

A separation and property settlement agreement can be an agreement resolving all issues that arose from the marriage. This kind of contract is invalid unless signed by both parties and the document is notarized. It is very important to seek legal advice before separating from your spouse to protect your interests. If you are presented with any form of agreement to sign, you should consult your attorney right away, for it is important that you do not overlook any important rights you might be waiving. If it is discussed between you and your spouse to separate and an agreement has been reached regarding division of properties and addressing other issues, the agreement should be prepared by an attorney.
Landon A. Dunn, Attorney at Law can help you with your Separation Agreement and provide advice in any aspect of Family Law.

The Pomarine Skua is a passage migrant in coastal areas of the UK, Isle of Man, and Ireland. It has a "Green" status because of its large, stable population.
Pomarine Skua: Hefty, falcon-like seabird with long central tail feathers rounded at the tip. Dark grey upperparts. Wings white in primaries. Black cap and face, grey-pink bill with black tip, and pale yellow on the side of the head and nape. White neck and underparts, dark breast band, black vent.
Pomarine Skua: Passage visitor to the UK & Ireland. Birds visit the coastline in mid-spring and in autumn as they journey between the Arctic and West Africa. Most likely to be seen at sea watching places on the North Sea and in the Western Isles. Birds remain at the coast while on passage.
The Pomarine Skua was first described in 1815 by Coenraad Jacob Temminck, Dutch aristocrat and zoologist.
Like other skuas, it will fly at the head of a human or any other intruder approaching its nest.
Successful reproduction occurs only in one of every three or four years in a typical lemming cycle, and only in areas where lemming populations reach high concentrations.
The sandpipers, plovers, buttonquail, auks, skuas, and oystercatchers are some of the nineteen families in the taxonomic order CHARADRIIFORMES (pronounced kah-RAH-dree-ih-FOR-meez).
The Stercorariidae (pronounced stehr-koh-rah-REYE-ih-dee), or skuas, encompasses seven species of skuas and jaegers in one genus that can be found in all of the world's oceans (IOC World Bird List, version 2.3).
In Europe, five species of skuas in one genus have been identified. Among these are the graceful Long-tailed Skua and the hefty Great Skua.
Members of this family are known for their predatory and piratical behaviour. Like other skuas, the Parasitic Skua is known for expertly chasing and harassing gulls and terns until they drop their food.
The skuas look like a cross between a gull and a falcon. They are large birds with long, pointed wings (broader in larger species), have thick necks with fairly large heads, webbed feet, and medium-length bills with a hook on the end. They also have distinctive tails with projecting central tail feathers.
The large Great and South Polar Skuas are mostly brown, streaked birds with grey or rusty highlights in their plumage. Juveniles of smaller skua species have plumages similar to those of the Great Skua, while adults are creamy or white on the underparts, the Parasitic and Pomarine Jaegers sporting black breast bands. On the upperparts, adult Pomarine, Parasitic, and Long-tailed Skuas are dark brown with black caps. Most plumages of skuas also show prominent white patches in the wings at the bases of the primaries.
Skuas are bird of the Arctic, Antarctic and the open ocean. They breed on the tundra and rocky islands of the far north, and spend the rest of the year in pelagic waters mostly off of the Atlantic coast.
Skuas are solitary predators of the high seas except when they form pairs during the breeding season and hunt for small mammals, birds (especially nestlings), and insects on the tundra. Outside of the breeding season, they occur on the open ocean where they pursue gulls, terns, and other seabirds to steal fish they have caught. Some directly attack and kill other birds, up to the size of Great Black-backed Gulls.
Skuas are not threatened in Europe and appear to have healthy populations throughout their range.
The smaller skua species are known as jaegers in North America. They get their name from the Germanic word for "hunter"; an appropriate name for these aggressive, predatory birds.

CDC: Prevalence of severe arthritis pain has risen across U.S.
Alicia Lasek (f3)
More Americans with arthritis are reporting severe pain, a federal study of state data reveals. Certain states are especially ripe for arthritis-related health interventions, investigators say.
Study data came from the 2019 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System. In that year, the median prevalence of arthritis was 24% across 49 states and the District of Columbia (ranging from 18% to 36%). Rates were highest in Appalachia and in the Southeastern states.
In addition, adults with arthritis reported high rates of physical inactivity, fair and/or poor health status and severe joint pain, according to Lindsey Duca, Ph.D., of the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, and colleagues.
Across states, a median of 30% of participants with arthritis (ranging from 20% to 42%) said that they'd been physically inactive over the past 30 days, the researchers reported. And a median of 33% reported severe joint pain — compared to 30% in 2015.
Eight states stood out, with the highest rates of pain, inactivity and poor health in arthritic adults. These include Alabama, Arkansas, Indiana, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tennessee and West Virginia.
The results suggest that arthritis-attributable joint pain, physical inactivity and self-rated health status are connected and influence each other, the researchers said. This should be a wake-up call to health officials and clinicians in these and other U.S. states, they concluded.
"This interplay represents an opportunity for concentrating efforts to increase promotion and use of evidence-based nonpharmacologic public health interventions in these states," they wrote.
Full findings were published in the CDC's peer-reviewed online journal, Preventing Chronic Disease.

Discussion in 'Apple, Inc and Tech Industry' started by jpcanaverde, Aug 25, 2011.
I don't know if the website is trustworthy. I saw it on Gizmodo, and couldn't believe it.
If this is true, Apple is dead.
Is this a "joke" ?
I wouldn't trust anything posted on the onion.
I heard The Onion was the first source to break the story about Hurricane Irene.
I don't think that's true. Don't worry.
I heard Apple will also change its name to Sabre. However, whether this is pronounced "Saab-ray" or "say-ber" is yet to be seen.
I don't mean to be "that guy" but, I think it's "Saab-ruh".
He is right, though. The future is in printers. 3D printers that can print live organs and tissue for animals.
See, it's people like you that keeps progress at a standstill.
Do you have a link for these? You never know when you need a new liver and I wouldn't mind some plug&play muscle either.
To the OP. I'm not sure if you are serious in your inquiry or not but know that theonion had been a satire website for many years. That's what they do. Satire.
That's great. In their lighter products, they can drop the Air and replace it with Light.
Wouldn't mind using the Wheel with my iHand.
Don't listen to the doubters. Remember Cook said Apple would have a product transition this quarter? Printers baby! Apple LaserWriters rise again!
So what you're saying is... eventually I would be able to download a car? **** yes.
It's a reference to the Office, sorry.
Don't listen to these ignorant posters OP. It's people like you and me who believe in the Onion News Network who are in the right. People are in denial that Onion expose nothing but unbiased truth and they need as much support as they can get.
Don't be another mindless drone who believes in the mainstream news stations! Keep the faith! Also donate £100 to my PayPal account so that we can help Onion and their followers live long and prosper!
LOL. Thanks for the answers. Didn't know that it was a satiric website. I saw it on Gizmodo, but it seemed fake.
Now I know it was a joke LOL.
They have some good content btw, such as the MacBook Wheel video.

The Friday before last, saw one of the largest car gatherings of the year. A show which brings lovers of all types of rides together for one huge night of engine revs, flame throwers, and eye candy. This year was Fitted Friday's fourth event and its biggest yet. The event became something of a pilgrimage for Sydney motoring enthusiasts.
Fitted Friday this year turned up with something a little different — offering novelties such as kid's rides, food truck vendors, and spectacular demonstrations from race teams such as Mariani Motorsports and Mazsport Racing; keeping the whole family entertained.
In the overall variety of rides that came through at the event, there was an outstanding presence of cars which focused on fitment; anything from imports to muscle and everything in between. Although there was a lot to be seen exterior-wise, the amount of work put into the engine bays was amazing to say the least. Despite the different styles of cars coming from various automotive cultures, there was a real sense of community at Fitted Friday. The show really brought the crowd together for one great night out.
Mariani motorsports let their 10,000 HP top fueler loose, wowing the crowds with their live demonstration of how loud a 4.6 second drag car can get (ear protection was a must). The team also showed how teary a crowd can get, when you spray 60 litres of nitro methane into the atmosphere in a short window of 5 seconds.
There were plenty of awards presented throughout the night. Some given to the crowd favourite, bagged and static categories. The crown jewel of awards to win from what we could see were "Best JDM", "Best Euro", "Best American Muscle", "Best Aussie Muscle", and "Best Rotary". We saw a lot of inventive and fun categories as well, like "Is that even legal", "Biggest Impact", "Now That's Committed", and "99 Problems But Fitment Ain't One".
The ultimate award though was the 24-carat gold-plated wheel trophy given to "The Best of The Best". It's refreshing to see a show like Fitted Friday, using a wide variety of categories for awards to help breed a unique automotive culture.
Once again, Fitted Friday have set the bar and exceeded expectations to some — for a what a car show should look, feel, and sound like. The Fitted Friday team have brought their A-Game to this event and I look forward to seeing what they will bring again in the next Fitted Friday!
If you haven't yet, be sure to check out the rest of the photos of the night below!

Glorious Georgian gossip from the quill of Catherine Curzon
Why Georgian?

Fanny Wright and the Nashoba Commune
Fanny Wright (Frances Wright; Dundee, Scotland, 6th September 1795 – Cincinnati, Ohio, America, 13th December 1852)
After our tale of dynastic marriage and politically-motivated romance yesterday, it's time to come back down to earth and meet a women who challenged boundaries, travelling halfway across the world in search of a new life.
Fanny Wright was born in Dundee as the daughter of a wealthy political radical, James Wright, and his wife, Camilla Campbell. At the age of three Fanny was already an orphan with a hefty inheritance to support her and she moved from Scotland to live in England with another radical relative, this time an aunt. Her childhood was spent in deep education and at the age of 16 she returned to the country of her birth, where she focussed all her efforts on writing.
The borders of the United Kingdom proved too stifling for the young woman and in 1818 she and her sister set sail for the United States, where they spent two years criss-crossing the country and learning its way for themselves. All the time Fanny's political interests were deepening, leading her to develop an unshakeable belief in the principles of suffrage, education, emancipation and the rights of women to govern their own bodies.
Robert Owen, by William Henry Brooke
Upon her return to Scotland she took up writing again and published Views of Society and Manners in America, a book that caused a sensation with its critique of American society and strong political views. Invited into radical thinking circles, Fanny returned to America, first in the company of the Marquis de Lafayette and then Robert Owen, with whom she would later found the Free Inquirer newspaper.
Travelling across the country she found herself drawn to Memphis, where she was inspired by Owen's New Harmony Commune to establish her own community, naming it the Nashoba Commune. Here she intended to provide free education to slaves so that they might find employment and opportunities once free. She sank her personal fortune into the commune, hoping to establish an egalitarian community, though she retained ownership of the slaves who resided there. Her initial plans to educate the slaves until they were able to buy their freedom was not a successful one and the commune began to haemorrhage money.
This caricature mocks Wright's lecture career, with a subservient young man holding her bonnet
Nashoba wasn't Fanny's only interest and she spoke and wrote passionately on behalf of the working classes, gaining notoriety and respect in equal measure. She toured America again to lecture to huge audiences, inspiring devotion in her followers. However, all of this was to take its toll on her health and she was laid low by malaria. By the time she was fit to return to her position at Nashoba, the commune was on the verge of collapse. With funds running dry and sensation engulfing its free love approach, rumours of interracial relationships caused a scandal from which the commune could not recover. Fanny was forced to close Nashoba and in 1830 the 30 slaves who resided there were freed to travel under her care to Haiti.
During the journey Fanny's beloved sister, Camilla, fell ill and died. Distraught, Fanny began a relationship with a French doctor, Guillayme D'Arusmon. She fell pregnant and, mindful of the scorn that would fall on her child if born out of wedlock, married D'Arusmon. The marriage ended in divorce and Fanny found herself embroiled in a legal nightmare with her former spouse, who had legally taken control of her finances and affairs. As she fought to win back what was rightfully hers, Fanny's health began to fail and she spent more and more time living with her daughter's family.
Fanny's controversial life was to end in the winter of 1852 when she died from injuries sustained after slipping on icy ground. Today she is remembered for her passionate belief in the causes she espoused, remaining true to her ideals and principles to the end. I will leave the final words to the lady herself and the inscription carved on her tombstone.
"I have wedded the cause of human improvement, staked on it my fortune, my reputation and my life."
Labels: America, Scotland, Slavery, Women
Fascinating. Though I find it quite contradictory that Fanny should campaign for the rights of the working classes but maintain ownership of her slaves. I suppose it's a symptom of the times in which she lived.
Catherine Curzon said...
Absolutely; some of Fanny's actions do appear somewhat contradictory when viewed from 2013!

You Need To Hear This: The By Gods – Goldy
Posted byKerrie Sheedy March 26, 2020 Features, ReviewsAlex Newport, George Pauley, The By Gods
On October 1st 2017, Stephen Paddock took it upon himself to kill fifty-eight people at the Harvest Festival in Las Vegas in what would become the largest mass shooting by an individual in US history. We could sit around for hours debating gun violence, mental illness and terrorist attacks, but sometimes these things are best left to the victims to explain. This is where Nashville trio The By Gods come in.
After an extensive tour of the US in 2017, the preparation for their first UK trip began only to be scrapped after frontman George Pauley's unfortunate experience at the Harvest Festival. This led a brief hiatus for the band who took that time to recoup and write what would be there fifth album, Goldy. From the opening, you can feel the weight and tension of Pauley's attempt to recover from the guilt and depression often associated with a mass shooting. That's not to say the whole album is one big doom and gloom; it's far from it.
The eleven tracks produced by Alex Newport, known for his work with the Melvins, Bloc Party, and Death Cab For Cutie, bear all the semblance of The By Gods usual blend of rock and roll with grunge combined with the wall of noise that Newport brings to his productions.
Blackwave, the first track and single from the album, is a healthy mix of early Radiohead meeting Nirvana's more radio-friendly songs. The screeching guitar, coupled with smooth and raw vocals, anchored to a dirty bassline embodies all the usual elements of that soft-loud style that so many acts of the nineties have become synonymous with. Its catchiness doesn't take away from its subject matter, if anything you can feel the tension rise from Pauley's vocal line so that by the time Try So Hard, with its heavy crunchy guitars, catchy hook and chorus, comes on you start to wonder if this energetic and edgy track sounds a bit too familiar.
These aren't exactly bad songs, they are incredibly well crafted to match the mainstream's idea of rock, and there is genuineness from the album as a whole that most garage acts lack. As a band, The By Gods bring a lot more to the table than anyone else at the moment. Thankfully, Goldy isn't a continuous homage to the grunge nineties scene. There are some moments of deep digging with songs like Penhead and Blurry showing us the vulnerability of the band stripping away all the bravado of some of the previous tracks. The softness of the vocals and melodic tone create a more organic sound compared to the heavy sludging of other grunge groups.
While not a big jump from their last album, Move On, after a couple of listens you can hear the progression of the band's overall sound. It's an excellent grunge album if you're after some nostalgia.
