Norman Siegel Needs Your Money (This Time)
By Azi Paybarah • 06/19/07 12:34pm
"I need your help once more. And this time I'm confident we can win."
That's how Norman Siegel starts out a three-page letter to donors announcing that he'll make a third run at the public advocate's office.
A copy of the letter was sent to me last night by a
reader who has contributed to him previously.
Siegel, a civil rights advocate who most recently helped a political gadfly get back into mayoral press conferences, ran and lost twice, both times to Betsy Gotbaum.
In his third bid, Siegel says he will "publish reports on effectiveness of city agencies," "propose and lobby legislation," and give New York "finally an accessible, effective public advocate."
He goes on to say, "I learned from prior campaigns that I need money to win. I need money to run ads on television and radio. I need money for direct mail and automated telephone messages. In the past, I was outspent 3 to 1. We can't let that happen again."
In 2001,
Siegel raised $1,151,357, compared to Gotbaum's $1,941,791, but was
outspent by her $1,202,961 to $357,419. He raised and spent even less money in his second bid in 2005.
In the letter, Siegel says flatly, "Without adequate funds, I can't win."
Despite the early and over-the-top fund-raising approach, he may be
outspent again. Other possible candidates for that seat include Eric Gioia, who already raised $717,788.
Siegel doesn't have a committee filed with the city Campaign Finance Board, but then again, this race is a few years away, so he has time.
And here's how he ends his letter:
"P.S. Please also send me your email address to NYCNormanSiegel@aol.com so we can keep in touch in a cost effective manner…"
I emailed Siegel this morning and am waiting to hear back.

La diócesis de Skopie ( y ) es una circunscripción eclesiástica de rito latino de la Iglesia católica en Macedonia del Norte, inmediatamente sujeta a la Santa Sede. Desde el 20 de julio de 2005 su obispo es Kiro Stojanov.

Territorio y organización
La diócesis extiende su jurisdicción sobre los fieles católicos de rito latino residentes en Macedonia del Norte.

La sede de la diócesis se encuentra en la ciudad de Skopie, en donde se halla la Catedral del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús. En Bitola se encuentra la Concatedral del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús, que en 2020 son las únicas parroquias de la diócesis. La catedral tiene iglesias filiales en Kumanovo, Tetovo, Veles, Štip, Gostivar y Strumica, mientras que la concatedral tiene una filial en Ohrid.

Historia
La arquidiócesis de Scupi (o Dardania), capital de la provincia romana de Dardania, está documentada por primera vez en el Concilio de Nicea I en 325, en donde estaba presente el obispo Daco. Se conocen otros tres obispos de Scupi: Paregorio, que participó en el Concilio de Sárdica; Ursilio, que firmó la carta escrita por los obispos de Dardania al emperador León I en 458 tras el asesinato del patriarca alejandrino Proterio; y finalmente Juan, que tuvo un intercambio de cartas con el papa Gelasio I entre 490 y 495. En el siglo V Scupi tenía como sufragáneas a las diócesis de Peć, Pristina, Ulpiana y Diocletiana.

Tras la invasión bárbara de 553, la sede fue suprimida y no se sabe nada de ella hasta 882, cuando ya el área era parte del Primer Imperio búlgaro. Las guerras de Bulgaria en el siglo X provocaron una supresión temporal de la sede, pero cuando los búlgaros se convirtieron al cristianismo en el siglo XI, volvió a ser una sede metropolitana. Desde 1004 Skopie fue parte del Imperio bizantino y fue una diócesis del patriarcado de Constantinopla. Tras ser disputada con los serbios, en 1203 pasó al Segundo Imperio búlgaro, alternado con los bizantinos hasta su captura por el Reino de Serbia en 1282, que a su vez la perdieron a manos del Imperio otomano en 1392, cambiando su nombre a Üsküb. Tras la invasión otomana, las iglesias se convirtieron en mezquitas y el palacio del arzobispo en una residencia de gobierno.

Después de 1340 Skopie solo tuvo obispos titulares católicos hasta 1656, cuando volvió a ser recreada como una sede residencial con el nombre de arquidiócesis de Skopie. En 1689, después de la derrota de los turcos en la Batalla de Kahlenberg, los austriacos asaltaron, tomaron e incendiaron la ciudad dejándola en ruinas. Aunque los austríacos se retiraron ese mismo año, la arquidiócesis finalmente pudo ser restaurada, pero hasta 1860 los arzobispos católicos tenían residencia incierta en las montañas de Macedonia o Albania, debido a la hostilidad de los otomanos.

Durante las guerras de los Balcanes, en 1913 los otomanos perdieron Üsküb a manos de los serbios, que la convirtieron en parte del Reino de los Serbios, Croatas y Eslovenos a partir de 1918.

Para regular el estado de la Iglesia católica, el gobierno de Serbia concluyó un acuerdo oficial (concordato) con el Santa Sede el 24 de junio de 1914. Por el segundo artículo de concordato, se decidió que la diócesis de Skopie sería creada como diócesis regular para todo el territorio nuevamente anexionado (incluyendo Prizren), y se estuvo de acuerdo también en que fuera colocada bajo jurisdicción de la arquidiócesis católica de Belgrado. Debido a la Primera Guerra Mundial, esas provisiones no pudieron ser plenamente implementadas, y sólo después de que 1918 nuevos arreglos fueron hechos. El 29 de octubre de 1924 perdió el rango de arquidiócesis y se convirtió en diócesis inmediatamente sujeta a la Santa Sede.

El 16 de marzo de 1926 en virtud del breve Admonet supremi del papa Pío XI se unieron a la sede algunos territorios del vicariato apostólico de Constantinopla, pertenecientes al antiguo Imperio otomano (Monastir —que es la actual Bitola— y adyacencias), que quedaron dentro del Reino de los Serbios, Croatas y Eslovenos, que desde el 3 de octubre de 1929 pasó a llamarse Reino de Yugoslavia.

Al finalizar la Segunda Guerra Mundial, el área quedó bajo el régimen comunista de Yugoslavia.

El 2 de octubre de 1969, en virtud de la bula Ad Ecclesiam Christi del papa Pablo VI, cedió a la arquidiócesis de Antivari la parte de su territorio que formaba parte de la República Socialista de Montenegro y al mismo tiempo unió el título de Prizren (Prisrianensem) al de Skopie y la diócesis tomó el nombre de la diócesis de Skopie-Prizren. Con la misma bula la diócesis pasó a formar parte de la provincia eclesiástica de la arquidiócesis de Sarajevo ad instar et ad tempus.

Con la desintegración de Yugoslavia, el 8 de septiembre de 1991 Macedonia se declaró independiente.

El 24 de mayo de 2000, mediante la bula Apostolicum munus del papa Juan Pablo II, le fue separado el territorio de Kosovo para formar la administración apostólica de Prizren (hoy diócesis de Prizren-Pristina), a la vez que tomó el nombre de diócesis de Skopie.

Desde 2001 el obispo de Skopje es también el ordinario de la circunscripción eclesiástica de la Iglesia greco-católica macedonia (primero exarcado apostólico, luego, desde el 31 de mayo de 2018, eparquía de la Asunción de la Santísima Virgen María en Strumica-Skopie).

Producing with Purpose - Episode 13: Featuring Jordan Nodarse of Boyish Jeans
by Antony Corrales
This episode was so full of information, and ran for 1 hour and 20 minutes, so it has been release into 2 parts.
Part 1 focusses on Jordan's journey starting Boyish, and Part 2 dives into some more of the business and industry secrets. I recommend listening to both, but if you want to dive straight into the business knowledge, Part 2 is a must-listen!

On this episode of Producing with Purpose, Presented by Noskin - I catch up with Jordan Nodarse. Founder of Boyish Jeans, a sustainable women's denim brand from Los Angeles, Jordan has not only an extensive, but an interesting background in fashion design, specifically in the denim arena.
With Boyish setting the bar high in terms of sustainability, transparency and ultimately, producing with purpose, this conversation left me feeling extremely motivated and inspired to fill every day with education and aspiration to make Nōskin the best brand we can, whilst always focussing on our efforts towards sustainability.
Legs like Led Zepplin and the days before Boyish
Jordan takes us through what Boyish brings to the market, with in-season yet timeless products that come from traceable materials all the way back to the farm.
Starting at the age of 16 in the early 2000's, screen printing t-shirts for fun, Jordan soon found he couldn't find jeans that were skinny enough for his taste when replicating the styles of Led Zepplin or Bruce Springsteen.
Wanting to create something that he couldn't find in the market, Jordan got into fashion by modifying classic Levis to provide a solution to his own problem on his Mum's sewing machine.
"Denim had functionality. It needed to be functional. It needed to be constructed well. It needed to match people's perspective of how they were going to use it."
Landing a job working in a denim brand, Jordan continued to get his hands dirty until he eventually moved on to co-found a fashion brand which unfortunately didn't work out.
Eventually moving on to consult for other denim brands, Jordan helped support a number of brands until finally launching the brand Grlfrnd.
Taking a number of roles consulting on denim styles for some of LA's most reputable denim brands. Working with rigid fabrics and moving away from the stretch fit that was dominating the market, Jordan was able to start shifting into new styles but at the same time continued to learn about the lack of sustainability in fashion practices.
A crash course in sustainable fashion
Eventually landing a job at Reformation, one of LA's most reputable sustainable fashion labels, Jordan experienced a new level of education in sustainable fashion.
Ever since working on Revolve, Jordan had slowly been working on his own brand in the background, Boyish. However, when moving to Reformation he made it clear that he also wanted to have the freedom to progress Boyish further, knowing that while he worked for other companies, he would always be a cog in someone else's machine and building brands and success for somebody else.
"Working 50, sometimes 60 hour work weeks, I still managed to find time to work on Boyish. The people who were closest around me understood what I had to do"
Going full time
With the ownership team at Nōskin making the transition this year to run the business full time, I'm always interested to here from other ethical entrepreneurs about the moment where they knew they had to double down and give their side-business their full attention.
Working at Reformation and finding success in the role, Jordan found that as he took the brand further, they grew into directions that didn't align with his vision, ultimately causing him to feel that the role was no longer the right place for him to put his game-changing efforts.
Not making the decision based on finances, with Boyish still unable to support Jordan financially at the time, it was based on the feeling that he needed to clear his mind and give Boyish the attention it deserved on his terms.
"Fashion brands take 2-3 years in the market just figuring out what the market wants"
We discuss the importance of being patient and the process of figuring out what works and Jordan shares some great insight in the operational differences between a smaller sustainable business and a larger fast fashion business. Acknowledging that in fast fashion, the objective is taking a product and then figuring out how you can make it cheap enough to sell, in a brand like Boyish or Nōskin, it's about finding a something the market will love and creating the desire for it to make sure the product is loved and people will buy it for its value.
"I view all my vendors as partners. I want them to be successful."
Managing burnout
Something I'll talk more about in another episode was the initial adjustment that I needed to make when Nōskin launched back in April. My efforts no longer restricted by my 9-5 job, I was able to put all of my time, with my team, into launching the brand. However, I quickly found myself in a cycle where I felt if I stopped working, even if my time was no longer productive, I would blame myself for the week or month not being successful.
Jordan shares some great, practical advice on how he has started to learn the art of time management, and how educating his team on this process has also allowed him to look introspectively at the way he's applying his time and efforts.
The art of balancing direct to consumer and wholesale
If you've heard previous episodes of the show, you'll know that one question I've raised a few times, and something that is in frequent discussion at Nōskin HQ is the advantages and disadvantages of branching out to have your products sold in high street stores.
It may seem like this is the dream for any fashion brand and it's more a case of being successful enough to do so, rather than it being a choice, but as Jordan explains with great detail, there are many issues that arise when you do move in to a wholesale model.
Jordan reveals some pretty shocking insights into how major retailers work with small brands to stock their products and how damaging this can be - not only for the brand, but also for the environment and the wastage that this can cause. If there's some section of this show you need to listen to - this is it!
"If you're going to allow your company to be dictated by what other people consider successful or innovative, you're always going to be behind"
The things you have to do...
Jordan has come from an incredibly versatile and creative background and holds the title of Creative Director at Boyish Jeans. However, as anyone in a growing business knows, you have to learn so much more than your core skill set to get through each day.
Jordan wraps up the episode by taking us through some of the things he's needed to learn. From the contracts and payroll, to truly realising the importance of marketing, we discuss the depth of challenges and obstacles that arise when starting an ethical business, but how important it is to just keep going.
"The real formula of success, is to constantly fail without losing enthusiasm"
Lastly, Jordan takes us through what the next 12 months looks like for Boyish, with new fits and a continuation of their commitment to sustainability.

Dr Seuss books are a favorite at our house. We are always reading them. This is a fun hands on activity for matching numbers with Truffula Trees. This is hands on activity that you can repeat several different times.
We had a really hard time picking between the three books. It was not easy but we worked at it over the past few days and the decided to go with the over all favorite of The Lorax .
This was a simple and easy to put together activity. It was not complicated but it did make her think about the activity while doing it. I love the truffula trees and they are fun for kids as well. We have done several truffula activities. We worked on the numbers from 1 to 12. She did ask where 0 was at the end.
What you need for this activity: black marker, craft sticks and construction paper.
This activity was presented to her as a pile of sticks and numbers for the top of the tree. I gave her free reign as to how she wanted to do the activity. She started by picking the number and looking for the stick that had the matching lines. This gave her several chances to counting the lines on several sticks. This is not how I thought she would start. She found it fun to do it her own way.
After she had all the matches she put the trees in order. I thought she would start at 1 but she started at 12 and counted down. After she got them in order she counted from 1 to 12 and then from 12 back down to 1. This was a great activity for her to review numbers and check out her counting.
If you have older kids some changes for this could be to put addition, subtraction or division on the trees and have them match to the lines on the trees. I will say my older girls jumped at the chance to do the counting activity like my youngest did.
Check out all the The Lorax , The Cat in the Hat and One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish (I Can Read It All by Myself) activities.
I hope that you enjoy these activities!

Fantastic and fun math idea! Wow!
You have so many awesome resources! I use all your calendar printables. Thanks for sharing. It was nice seeing the snow in the background. We don't get snow here. In fact I was at an outdoor Valentine party this morning in short sleeves. You rock! Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the great activity! Want to try it with my son.
It is very easy to set up and do! I like it when things are easy.


What we as human beings have forgotten is that we evolved as an inherent part of the Ecosystem of nature. Over millions of years, and much more. A system that evolved with such intricate and delicate, almost invisible balances. The sheer artistry of nature is a wonder to behold in itself. Now we see ourselves as controllers of that ecosystem. We now, in our arrogance, have evolved ourselves as an Egosystem …….
.. and we forget that we are an essential part of nature's artistry. But no more essential than a Polar Bear, an Eagle, a Tree, or even a blade of Grass. We are not beyond, and never will be beyond ,the fine checks and balances of that artistry. We are nature, and the genetic consciousness of Nature will never allow one of it's non essential components to upset it's own balance over time.
The volcanic activity of the Earth ultimately led to the creation of Glaciers over millions of years. The Glacier became a huge natural reservoir of Water, that let out a little all the year round and then replenished itself through a finely tuned system of snow fall and ice compression. And so the Rivers were formed. The rivers nourished the land and soil around which we human beings evolved over time.
So what kind of science will allow us to recreate our Glaciers ? With a natural ebb and flow of receiving and giving ?
Nature will not be defeated by the over grown cancer in it's own body. Or nature itself will die with that cancer. I do believe that over time we are genetically predisposed to be like Lemmings. Our genetic consciousness is a part of nature's own larger consciousness. It will force us to self destruct in the end. The human race lives too much in the illusion of individuality.
Most often it takes destruction to dissolve arrogance, depravation to learn better appreciation. For things taken for granted. For our ability to inhale and exhale. For our five senses working in perfect harmony. For just being on this planet that nurtures and gives so much, and yet we are unable to give back even a fraction. Ignorant are those who are unable to savor the sacred gift bestowed in abundance for inhabitants of planet earth — bestowed with the 'Panchabhutas', the 5 life-sustaining elements (earth, air, water, fire, space). Foolish and selfish is the human race that revels as colonizers and plunderers of Mother Earth. She will endure the burden until her fury culminates in the 'Pralaya', the dissolution, in the cosmic cycle of creation-dissolution-recreation.
I read somewhere that the 27th 'Pralaya' is approaching Earth, only to dissolve this Kali Yuga in 2037 AD. Are the melting glaciers, tsunamis and earthquakes of recent past the inconvenient truth, symptomatic of her cascading fury leading up to the dissolution?
Dont worry , there are going to be more balanced times ahead of us .Ego-centric and Materialistic Science has very few answers and instead creates bigger problems – not because it is science !
But because of the kind of civilisation we are. when you say 'we' i guess you are speaking for the whole of humanity ??
In which case you are wrong ,shekhar ! – The present ecological problems of the world are the result of Darwinism , Christianity and Islam.
If you dont agree , i'll respect it , but in a nutshell , those three forces have created strange logical concoctions to justify mindless Violence and Barbarim against Mankind , Nature and the way our minds think !!
Indic cultures which spoke of Non-Violence , Worshipping nature and taking along everyone else in an inclusivistic way have been called apalling names – pagans , heathens , 'primitive' – famous epithets against peaceful cultures used by Inquisitors , Conquisdators , Colonialists , Barbarian Religions passing of as the 'Only Truth' !
1) That Nature's Law is not limited to 'Animal Law' – that 'Jungle Law' cannot apply to Human society. That symbiotic co-existance with nature is the true way of survival.
2) That Truth is one and there are many paths leading to it. That there is not just only 'One prophet , One book , one Way' to reach there.
3) That Man has a place in a parallel structure of the universe and that the animal and natural kingdom was not made for his 'pleasure' , to rule , kill , eat and destroy.
If everyone agrees on the basic themes of the above three ideas , then the world can indeed be a better place. I can see only three philosophies opposing them. Guess who ???
it is a good thing to stop pollution, you change the world from right where you are at. Each one of us.
but the egosystem seems to me to be the arrogance we have in thinking that we are supposed to be exempt from planetary changes. Our little blue planet has been changing since time began. There are ruins under our vast oceans of civilizations that came before us. There are ruins under the vast crust of earth of civilizations that came before us. Are we exempt from change? despite our great knowledge, despite our great technologies?
what disheartens me is knowing the violent history of all civilizations past and acknowledging the current violent upheavals we have refused to learn from the evidence at hand.
we change the world from right where we are at.
I read once somewhere that the buddhists believe that we do not become enlightened only for ourselves but for everyone. When one person becomes enlightenend then the whole planet is affected, like ripples going outward from a stone tossed into the pond.

In a statement on Friday, Basslink said Cable Consulting International, a UK-based firm regarded as a leading submarine power cable expert, was initially asked to conduct an inquiry into the cable failure.
A further independent investigation was carried out and the report was completed recently.
Basslink said the new report, known as the CCI Report, had come to the conclusion that the cause of the failure was unknown, refuting the charges made by Hydro Tasmania, a subsidiary of the government, and the state.
The dispute centres around a Basslink outage that occurred in December 2015 and was not fixed for six months. In March, the Tasmanian Government formally lodged a notice of dispute, claiming damages of $122 million for the outage. The dispute went to arbitration in April.
Since then, charges have been flung back and forth. On 20 December 2017, Hydro Tasmania said it had identified the cause of the Basslink failure and cited two experts who said it was because Basslink had exceeded its design limit.
The CCI report had been provided to both Hydro Tasmania and the state, the Basslink statement said.
"Basslink has consistently maintained its position that the cable failure was a force majeure event under the Basslink Services Agreement and Basslink Operations Agreement," the statement said. "The recent CCI Report further supports Basslink's view that the cable failure was a force majeure event under the BSA and BOA."

A whole bunch of feelings that were neither expected nor invited to show up on an ordinary Wednesday morning. It was the week of spring break and my husband had taken the day off work. He was in the kitchen cutting sweet pastries from our favorite bakery into tiny bite sized pieces for our three kiddos who were eagerly ready for a day of "family fun." They'd been looking forward to this day all week and while they were starting their morning in the very best way, I was hiding in the bathroom.
I had been on the phone with an OB nurse explaining that I'd been fighting menstrual cramps since Saturday and I had reached the point in which they were literally bringing me to my knees. I hadn't slept well the night before and despite numerous warm baths, Tylenol, and heating pads, the pain was just no longer something I could tolerate. As I spoke with the nurse, I admitted feeling guilty and even a little embarrassed for being a 31-year-old adult female calling to complain of cramps. I mean, c'mon, I should be able to toughen up and handle this, right?
The nurse was gentle and careful with her words. She told me that I needed to come in to be evaluated. I prepared myself for some very difficult conversations — to hear that there was no heartbeat and to be given confirmation that this unexpected nightmare was in fact, reality. I told my husband to stay home with the kids while I went in to be seen. I don't know why I didn't push for him to come with me. In hindsight, that was weird. But in the moment, I was in shock. And I was scared.
I arrived for labs and ultrasound and was immediately called in by a tech. I still remember her face. She had those eyes. You know, those sympathetic, sad puppy dog eyes. I told her it was okay.
I didn't know what else to tell her so I got undressed and laid in the chair. I was cold and uncomfortable and doing my best to get through this inevitable nightmare. The tech told me that she saw fluid. A LOT of fluid. There was nothing in my uterus.
"Have you ever heard of an ectopic pregnancy?" she asked. She told me that she needed to call my physician so that he could talk to me. As she left the room, I grabbed my phone and quickly Googled, "ectopic pregnancy." I took a quick screenshot and sent it to my husband with the message, "This is what's happening. I'm waiting on the doctor now." I had no other information, I didn't know what an 'ectopic pregnancy' was, and I didn't have time to let Google do any more research for me.
The tech returned and explained that my doctor probably wanted to speak with me in his office, rather than in ultrasound so I grabbed my things and she walked me down a back hallway to a room labeled, "Education." Seconds later, a nurse arrived telling me that we needed to go downstairs to the ER. Okay, at this point, I was just going through the motions. I didn't know why I was being moved from room to room. I had no idea what was going on. I was still in shock.
The nurse took me directly to patient registration. As the receptionist asked for my license and insurance card, I heard my phone ring. It was my husband. I hadn't talked with him since sending that quick text earlier in the ultrasound room. "Do you mind if I take this," I asked the receptionist, and without even giving her a chance to respond, I put the phone to my ear and answered.
"Okay, well, I just got off the phone with the doctor and I'm going to get there as soon as possible," he reassured me.
She explained that an ectopic pregnancy is when the fertilized egg does not make it into the uterus. Instead, it gets stuck implanting into the fallopian tube. Based on the ultrasound images, it looked like my fallopian tube had ruptured and I was now bleeding internally… and possibly had been since Saturday when I had first assumed that I was on my period. Before I could even start to process what the nurses were telling me, the room filled with staff helping me undress, start an IV, put on compression socks, draw blood, gather my belongings.
Another nurse came in and began discussing bereavement options and available support. There was a nurse documenting on her computer. There was an anesthesiologist introducing himself. There were papers to sign and questions to answer and so many things happening at once. It was blurred chaos. It was uncontrolled chaos. It was too much. I had no idea what to do.
I later found out that my doctor, who I still believe is the best OB/GYN on the planet, had been busy in the background the entire time — trying his best to surround me with the support he knew I would need before all this chaos ensued. He had been preparing my husband. He had been preparing himself. He had been doing his job. He knew it was going to be a lot and more than I could bear alone. He had called my husband before seeing me because he knew this was not something I could process on my own. He knew I needed the support. This had gone far beyond a "tough conversation regarding a failed pregnancy" and my lack of understanding as to what was happening wasn't the fault of any of the staff around me. The nurses were all doing their best to get me ready. They were doing their jobs. They didn't know. And you know what?
I felt overwhelmed, like I couldn't breathe. I needed to clear the room. I mustered every polite bone in my body and looked at the bereavement nurse first, firmly telling her, "I need you to stop talking to me about this. I need you to leave." The room suddenly grew quiet. You guys, these nurses were compassionate and caring and doing a great job but I needed a moment. I needed space. I needed to find a way to breathe.
Within moments, the room emptied. Everyone had left except for this very sympathetic nurse who was left standing at her computer. "Oh sweetie, I'm so sorry you're going through this. I know this must be hard for you." I shook my head and apologized for being such a mess. I closed my eyes, wiped my cheeks, and pulled my knees to my chest.
I had three little incisions — one on my belly button, one below my belly button, and one on my hip. They told me they had removed my right fallopian tube. They told me that I could still conceive if we wanted to try again. They told I needed to take it easy and that it was okay to cry. They told me there were services and support groups available if we needed them. They told me that my husband and I needed to talk together to make a decision regarding we wanted to do with the remains.
On March 27, what I assumed was a "hard" period turned into a surprise pregnancy. That surprise pregnancy turned into a devastating miscarriage. That devastating miscarriage turned into a life-threatening situation and an emergency surgery. That emergency surgery turned into a whole bunch of heartbreak with grief counseling and bereavement discussions and a day filled with uninvited and unexpected chaos and sadness and pain.
One last thing: according to that statistic, 25% of women have experienced loss. One.in.four. This is not uncommon, folks. This is happening every day and, oh, does it hurt. Do you know a friend or loved one who is part of that statistic? Maybe it's you who can relate to that awful number. I pray that's not the case. But here's my point: before this week, I had always tried my best to understand the sorrow my friends felt with the loss of a pregnancy. I had always tried to walk with them through the survival of a nightmare I never fully grasped myself. I was a friend who saw their heartache and wanted more than anything to remove their pain, but never knew what to say or how to do it.
After a week of resting and recovering and basically taking each day by the hour, here's what I think I know: I think there is nothing that can ease our pain. There is nothing that will "fix" our sorrow or "make it better" for our friends or ourselves. Bad things happen every single day. They happen to all of us, this is a guarantee. So while our stories of loss may be different, our details different, our experiences and reactions different, we share the same pain and that pain offers connection, in the most authentic and unfair way.
I don't know why miscarriage or pregnancy complications happen — to me or anyone for that matter, but I do know it won't help to direct our anger at asking questions regarding why. So right now, I'm leaving that alone. Right now, I'm focusing my energy on giving myself permission to feel my feelings. I'm taking it easy.
Beyond those things, here is what I'm hoping… I'm hoping that maybe as the pain softens with time, I'll be able to use this awful experience to help others get through the same scary, awful heartache. I'm hoping that maybe I'll be able to offer some stronger empathy, deeper compassion, and better consolation to those hurting. I'm hoping that maybe I'll be able to use my story to replace someone else's feelings of guilt and fear and loneliness with understanding, reassurance, and support.

The Essex Alliance Football League is an English football league for clubs based in Essex and north-eastern Greater London. The league has six divisions (Senior, Premier, Divisions One, Two, Three and Four), of which the Senior Division sits at 11th level in the English football league system, formerly Step 7 in the National League System, following the Football Association's approval to become a Regional NLS Feeder League (Step 7) from season 2021–22 onwards. Teams that finish in the top five of the league can apply for promotion to the Division One South of the Eastern Counties Football League (Step 6), subject to their facilities meeting criteria and other conditions.

History
The league was founded in 2014 through the merging of the Ilford and District and the Essex Business House football leagues, which both shared a common aim to support and promote local grassroots football in Essex and East London while bridging the gap with other neighbouring leagues in the region. The league permits member clubs to play on grounds in the boroughs of Havering, Barking & Dagenham, Redbridge, Newham, Waltham Forest, Harlow and Epping Forest.

The league currently has a membership of 76 teams, many of whom were existing members of the aforementioned leagues and were joined by many new clubs as the league seeks to buck the trend of the local Saturday football scene which had been diminishing in numbers over the past few years.

In 2022, history was made in the league as the first direct promotion to senior football was confirmed with DT FC, champions of the Senior Division, successfully promoted to Step 6 within the Eastern Counties Football League Division One South.

During the 2022/23 season, it was announced by the Football Association that four leagues in England would pilot the first ever referee body worn camera trial, the Essex Alliance League one of those chosen to take part for a period of 18-24 months, alongside leagues in Middlesbrough, Liverpool and Worcestershire.

No need for thermals as New Year's Eve temperatures set to break records
Catherine Lough, PA
Hats and scarves are staying in the wardrobe as the end of the year approaches, as the UK enjoys a spell of spring-like weather.
Temperatures hovered in the mid-teens in parts of the country on Wednesday, with forecasters suggesting there could be a record-breaking finish to 2021.
A Met Office spokesman said temperatures were above average, adding "we should be around 8C or 9C this time of year really".
He said it was unlikely people would need their warmest clothes during this spell of milder weather.
(PA Graphics)
"I imagine people certainly won't be raiding their full winter wardrobes over the next couple of days – I imagine the thermals will be not needed.
"Whether or not people will be wearing t-shirts or jumpers, I think that's a personal call."
The highest temperature recorded by the Met Office on Wednesday was 15.7C at Exeter Airport in Devon, closely followed by St James' Park in London with a temperature of 15.6C.
In southern England these temperatures would usually be seen in September or mid-April, he suggested.
Spring-like #temperatures will affect much of western Europe during the next few days, with exceptionally #mild conditions for the time of year 📈
Temperature records are likely to be challenged in some places 🌡 pic.twitter.com/f2yBkaoDBe
— Met Office (@metoffice) December 29, 2021
"So it's kind of an autumn-spring temperature rather than a winter temperature, but it's not the mildest that we've ever seen in December, but it's certainly milder than you'd usually see this time of year."
The Met Office spokesman said the December record for England is 17.7C in 1985, while for the UK as a whole it was 18.7C in 2019 in Scotland.
He said: "No records today but the one that we're keeping a close eye on is the New Year's Eve one because that's slightly lower, 14.8C, so if we kind of get a similar temperature to today on New Year's Eve, then that record will be broken, but the December records yet, it doesn't look like we'll probably beat that."
The spokesman said the next couple of days would deliver similar temperatures of between 14C and 16C, but after New Year's Day temperatures could trend downwards, with bank holiday Monday expected to be cooler.
France and parts of Spain were also seeing high temperatures for this time of year, the Met Office said.

Title Combining tumor genome simulation with crowdsourcing to benchmark somatic single-nucleotide-variant detection.
The detection of somatic mutations from cancer genome sequences is key to understanding the genetic basis of disease progression, patient survival and response to therapy. Benchmarking is needed for tool assessment and improvement but is complicated by a lack of gold standards, by extensive resource requirements and by difficulties in sharing personal genomic information. To resolve these issues, we launched the ICGC-TCGA DREAM Somatic Mutation Calling Challenge, a crowdsourced benchmark of somatic mutation detection algorithms. Here we report the BAMSurgeon tool for simulating cancer genomes and the results of 248 analyses of three in silico tumors created with it. Different algorithms exhibit characteristic error profiles, and, intriguingly, false positives show a trinucleotide profile very similar to one found in human tumors. Although the three simulated tumors differ in sequence contamination (deviation from normal cell sequence) and in subclonality, an ensemble of pipelines outperforms the best individual pipeline in all cases. BAMSurgeon is available at https://github.com/adamewing/bamsurgeon/.

For months, COVID-19 was a whisper in Knox County. Since July 1, it has claimed 53 lives.
Allie Clouse Vincent Gabrielle
John Testerman was a man who did not step back from a challenge. He had a long and successful career building homes and developing communities across Knox County. He knew how to overcome adversity.
In his last days, though, John Testerman was scared.
In retirement, he had developed dementia, and he and his family — his wife of 68 years, Leslie, his two daughters, his grandchildren and great-grandchildren — coped with his decline.
In July, he was dealt another blow. He tested positive for COVID-19.
"He was super anxious," said his daughter Chris Testerman.
"He couldn't really eat or swallow. He didn't know what was going on, and he was super scared. He needed medicines to decrease the anxiety, help sedate him and help him through really the dying process."
John Testerman died from complications from COVID-19 at Parkwest Hospital on Aug. 13. He was 89 years old, and his family knew the end was eventually coming, but his death wasn't the peaceful one they had imagined for their patriarch.
Testerman is one of 53 Knox County residents who died of COVID-19 in July and August, the deadliest months of the pandemic by far.
The county saw a shocking surge in fatalities right as the community reopened after a relatively strict lockdown this spring. From March through June, five Knox County residents died. Then sick people began to die almost daily.
Thirty-four in July. Nineteen in August.
To put the deaths into perspective, the surge means there have been 10 times as many COVID-19 deaths in the past two months compared to the rest of the pandemic.
The pain is real for so many families.
Chris Testerman said her mother, Leslie, 90, also tested positive for the disease in July. In his final days, John had several visits with his wife, who was allowed in a room with him because she already had a mild case of the disease, and with Chris because she is a physician. He never opened his eyes or spoke. John's other daughter Hanley Roach and his caretakers visited once he was moved from an coronavirus isolation floor.
The disease hit him hard. He lost his sense of smell and taste, and then his appetite. As he ate less, he became more confused, and was hospitalized first on the isolated floor before he was moved to palliative care in early August.
Chris Testerman shared details with Knox News about her father's death because she knows a communitywide approach is the only way to make sure other vulnerable people don't succumb to COVID-19.
"Whether you think you're going to get ill or not, you need to respect that this is a real virus," she said. "People that have underlying health problems may get over it, but it may also create a death that would not have occurred at that time had the virus not been."
Over the course of the pandemic, public health experts have repeated that deaths and hospitalizations lag behind case growth. In layman's terms, it can take weeks for patients to grow seriously ill and die after they test positive for the disease.
That's what played out in Knox County.
At the beginning of July, a troubling number of new cases caused the Knox County Board of Health to enact a mask mandate after most other restrictions on businesses were lifted. Deaths counts, however, began to climb almost daily just as the mandate went into effect.
The Knox County death totals go hand-in-hand with the worst two months so far. In July, Knox County detected 2,834 new cases of COVID-19. In August, the county detected 2,790. This means over 85% of the county's total cases occurred within the past two months.
The coronavirus is prevalent and spreading in the community. Roughly one third of the county's pandemic deaths and 40% of new cases occurred in August. That means that the community is not in decline but rather a potential plateau — a step on a staircase.
With colleges and schools reopened, plus Labor Day parties on the horizon, experts are worried.
"At this moment we've definitely, seemingly and consistently slowed down," said Knox County Board of Health member Dr. James Shamiyeh in an Aug. 26 board meeting. But his optimism was peppered with caution.
He reminded the board that the July spike correlated well to Memorial Day and Independence Day festivities and noted that after Hamilton County opened schools, the rate of case growth increased there.
"They had a nice trend downward, that we currently have, and they've started to trend upward," he continued.
The ability to slow the spread is possible, however, if people follow the precautions repeated over and over by experts. And by those, like Chris Testerman, who have paid the highest price exacted by the virus.
"You have to respect social distancing. You have to respect wearing a mask," she said. "Even if you have minimal symptoms, just a runny nose with a low-grade fever for a couple of days, that actually can be the virus, and you can have COVID.
"Whether you feel bad or not, you can pass it on to other people."
