Friends of the Dorothy Neal White Collection
Newsletter 50
Box 12499, Wellington
Welcome to our 50th newsletter! The first newsletter, published in August 1989 was just two sides of an A4 page (a copy is appended to this newsletter), but this quickly expanded to three pages with issue 2 (November 1989), and four by January 1990. The latter issue (#3) notes the forthcoming retirement of Mary Hutton, then President of the Friends, from her librarian position at the National Library`
Early issues of the newsletter were edited by the late Bruce Morris – and I think I got involved from about issue #6 (April 1991). Reading over the old newsletters has been fun and I think I might implement a new "Remember this?" feature in future issues. Look out for it in issue 51.
Copies of all of our newsletters from number 23 (May 1998) are available on the FDNW website and over time we hope to make all the newsletters available in this way.

The 2014 AGM of the Friends of the Dorothy Neal White Collection was held on Thursday 26 June at the National Library, Wellington. The evening began, as usual, with drinks & nibbles, followed by the presentation of the FDNW Research Grant to Dr Nicola Daly who is based at Waikato University. Nicola will use her grant to make research trips to Wellington to explore her topic "Pākehā- Māori: European-Native. Ethnic labelling in the Dorothy Neal White Collection". She spoke of her excitement at looking at the selection of books from the DNW Collection she had already seen, and how much she was looking forward to spending more time with the collection during future visits. Nicola also spoke about the research she has done into "loan" words used in NZ books for children (for more details see p.2).
At the AGM that followed Nicola's presentation the current committee members were re-elected unopposed. As at the 2013 AGM we did not have anyone standing for the role of the committee president. It was agreed that we would continue as we have been doing with the responsibility for convening meetings and taking minutes being shared around the committee. When a spokesperson is required to comment on behalf of the Friends our Treasurer, Janet Blake, will continue to take that role.
The committee had approached a well-known NZ author regarding the position of Patron but had not heard back at the time of the AGM. We have since heard that, while the author appreciated being approached, and would have liked to have taken the role, her personal circumstances mean that she felt unable to take on the position at this time. The committee will seek another Patron for the Society.
It was agreed to retain the membership fee at $20:00 a year.

President: Not filled. Meeting chair role shared
Treasurer: Janet Blake

MĀORI LOAN WORDS IN NEW ZEALAND ENGLISH CHILDREN'S PICTURE BOOKS
The FDNW Research Grant has been made to Dr Nicola Daly. Nicola is a Senior Lecturer in Waikato University's Faculty of Education. Her area of expertise is linguistics – specifically sociolinguistics, language teacher education, and Māori loanwords in New Zealand English children's picture books.
In 2011 Nicola launched a website featuring children's picture books that reflect New Zealand's national identity. The following article about the website was published on the University of Waikato website on 30 March 2011.
Picture book website launched to aid New Zealand schools
Dr Nicola Daly: Recently launched a picture book website which she hopes will be a teaching resource for New Zealand schools.
A Waikato University linguist has put together a New Zealand picture book collection that reflects New Zealand's national identity. Dr Nicola Daly from the Faculty of Education has just launched a website called picturebooks.co.nz which she hopes will be used as a teaching resource in New Zealand schools. She got the idea from a similar European project based at the University of Roehampton in the UK.
As well as developing the collection, Dr Daly has worked with Waikato postgraduate student and primary teacher Marion McKoy to develop activities that teachers can use in the classroom.
Dr Daly says she first became interested the power of children's picture books while reading picture books with her own daughter. "One day my four-year-old daughter asked me if someone was hapu [pregnant]. I was surprised she knew the word. Then I realised she'd learnt it in a picture book."
That sent Dr Daly researching; first she studied picture books published by Huia between 1995 and 2005, then, with the help of a summer research scholarship recipient, she looked at 500 New Zealand picture books printed over the same period.
The Huia publications had an average of 57 loan words per 1000 words of text. The more extensive collection had an average 13/1000 loan words. Dr Daly's collection of 22 books has an average of 45/1000. "It's the language in these books that is going to influence New Zealand English in years to come," says Dr Daly. She also found, in discussion with parents, that they too were learning new words through reading to their children.
Next she gathered together a group of children's literature experts who met regularly over a three month period to negotiate a list of titles they felt should be included. The collection includes three Patricia Grace titles, single works from leading authors Joy Cowley, Margaret Mahy and Lynley Dodd and two from author illustrator Gavin Bishop.
"My collection isn't finite," says Dr Daly. "I'll be reviewing it every few years and I'm certain people will have their own ideas about what should and shouldn't be there. We've provided an avenue for feedback on the books and activities on the site. My only wish is that it gets used and is useful."
THE LONG LITERARY LUNCH
It was undeniably long, decidedly literary and it included not only an ample lunch but substantial morning and afternoon teas and pre-dinner drinks and nibbles! John and Ruth McIntyre's 'Day of Professional Development and Socialising' held on Sunday 21 September at The Children's Bookshop in Kilbirnie, was a milestone event at which representatives of the juvenile book trade in Wellington and central New Zealand and invited guests, were fed, informed and entertained for eight delightful hours! Authors, illustrators, editors, publishers and book designers, chatted with bookshop owners, publicists and book buyers. The mood was optimistic and the programme varied in its scope and full of interest.
Presenters ranged from Vida and Luke Kelly from Kapiti, world class book designers, to novelist and freelance manuscript assessor and agent, Chris Else. Philippa Boyens MNZM, who co-authored the screenplay for The Lord of the Rings, King Kong, The Lovely Bones and The Hobbit, was the guest speaker. Two animated panel discussions, one about the prospect of real books in the digital age, the other on the fate of 'your' book after it arrives at the publisher's warehouse, provided food for thought and plenty of laughs.
Despite the ambitious scale of the event, Maureen Crisp of the Wellington Children's Book Association and presenter of the semi-final session, advised the audience that, in October 2015, her organisation was planning a hui for writers and illustrators that would last for some three or four days, and involve an even wider number of topics and participants! Maureen called for suggestions with regards to prospective guest presenters and ideas for a tentative programme and received an enthusiastic response.
The Long Literary Lunch ended in celebratory mode with authors Fleur Beale and Anna Mackenzie launching each other's young adult novels! I am Rebecca by Fleur Beale and Donnel's Promise by Anna Mackenzie are both published by Random House, New Zealand.

TRAVELLING WITH CHILDREN'S BOOKS IN MIND
In June and July this year Barbara (FDNWC committee member) and Neil Robertson (both collectors of DNWC-type books) travelled on holiday to USA and UK, visiting relatives in Washington and Boston, friends in New York and Southern England, and attending a book conference in Bristol. In both New York and London, they were fortunate to encounter exhibitions of children's books or authors. However, there were many other occasions when their book interests were indulged.
We have decided to make the most of Barbara and Neil's adventures by spreading the articles over a couple of newsletters. If there are any readers of this newsletter who also have stories to tell involving children's literature subjects discovered on their travels I would love to hear from you for future newsletters joan.mccracken@dia.govt.nz
We start the series by visiting Boston.
Make way for ducklings!
All over Boston there are copies of the book Make Way for Ducklings by Robert McCloskey. This is not surprising as the statue (by Nancy Schön) which was inspired by the story about the ducklings and their parents and their travels around Boston is a popular attraction in the Boston Public Gardens. Children climb on the mother duck and the smaller ducklings, and many photographs are taken by parents and friends. In the Sky Walk at the top of the Prudential Center there is more information about the ducks, and there one learns (if you haven't read the book) that the ducklings have names. They are Jack, Kack, Lack, Mack, Nack, Oack, Pack and Qack.
Louisa May
Also in Boston, in the upmarket suburb of Beacon Hill is to be found the house where Louisa May Alcott lived. We had been shown the house in Louisburg Square on a previous visit to Boston, but this time we were unsure about which was the correct house. While Neil was trying to Google 'Louisa May Alcott' on his iPhone, a biking tour group stopped near us and we could hear the guide talking about the Square and how John Kerry (the American Secretary of State) lived there and "Louisa May Alcott, the children's author, used to live at the third house from the corner". So the address is 6 Louisburg Square, if you should ever be in Boston and wish to see where the author of Little Women, Good Wives, etc., once lived.
TRAVELLING WITH CHILDREN'S BOOKS IN MIND – Part 2
And now we go to New York…
The abc of it – why children's books matter
While we were in New York there was an exhibition in the New York Public Library entitled The abc of it: why children's books matter. This well-designed exhibition began with very early books which children read and looking at how they were written to influence their readers. Political and social events in America also influenced what authors considered appropriate reading for young people.
But gradually stories began to predominate. In a pre-television age story telling was a common pastime and some stories told in private found a wider audience, in particular Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland. In the exhibition there was a wonderful larger than life size illustration of Alice where the top part of the picture moved so that Alice's neck was normal size and then grew.
Illustrations and picture books became important, and there were illustrations of Peter Rabbit and Madeline. The exhibition continued with many well-known children's books (especially to an American audience) and authors like Beatrix Potter, A A Milne and later still J K Rowling.Later developments were influenced by the ready availability of cheap paper back 'Dime novels' and comics.
The Harry Potter phenomenon was examined and also the influence of Superman comics, Mad Magazine, etc.
The exhibition drew from collections across the Library, and one of their highly prized possessions is Christopher Robin's original toys which inspired the Winnie the Pooh books by A A Milne. Pooh, piglet, Eeyore and Kanga were all on display, with an explanation that Roo had been lost over the years.

FROM THE RESEARCH LIBRARIAN
Nicola Daly, our current research grant recipient, has made several visits to work on her project. It is always a pleasure to see books from the Dorothy Neal White Collection being used for in-depth research and we are very much looking forward to Nicola's final research report at the 2015 AGM in May.
I was very pleased to be able to show Jill Shefrin, our guest speaker at our October meeting (see p.7), around the Dorothy Neal White Collection. Jill spent two hours with me in the morning, so she had time to look more closely at the items that particularly interested her. That afternoon, Ruth Lightbourne showed Jill the Alexander Turnbull Library's Special Printed Collections.
I have been very busy over the past few months preparing an exhibition for the Turnbull Gallery. "A Child's War" opened on 24 November and explores the impact of World War I on the lives of New Zealand children. The exhibition draws on several Turnbull Library collections and includes manuscripts, photographs and ephemera as well as published material. A significant part of the show is made up of wartime children's literature from the Dorothy Neal White Collection.
For more about the exhibition see p.7.
IN THE DISPLAY CABINET
#3 Nursery Rhymes
The current display cabinet offering is a selection of nursery rhymes and Mother Goose collections.
Nursery rhymes have a long history, and thrived as part of the oral tradition for many years before finding their way into the printed book. Many of them did not start out as children's rhymes at all, originating as ballads, folk songs, or street plays.
Illustration by Randolph Caldecott from A frog he would a wooing go (190?)
The first known published collection of nursery rhymes was Tommy Thumb's song book (1744), and the first to include Mother Goose in the title was John Newbery's publication Mother Goose's melody; or Sonnets for the cradle, thought to have first been published around 1765. Generally portrayed as a crone in a pointed hat, flying on a goose's back, there is no conclusive proof that Mother Goose was ever a real person, although many theories about her historical origins have been put forward.Mary Skarott

Committee member Audrey Cooper has not been well recently. Very best wishes Audrey from the committee and your many friends.
NOTES-BOOKS-AUTHORS 12
The Society launched Number 12 in the series Notes-Books-Authors recently, a forty-page booklet by Trevor Mowbray entitled The Nineteen-Forties: a Turning Point in Writing for Children . This is the text of a talk Trevor gave to the Society in 2011 about the boundary between the Dorothy Neal White Collection and the National Children's Collection. As the School Library Service began buying books in the nineteen forties that date was decided as the beginning point of the National Children's Collection. Trevor had done a research paper when he was employed by the National Library on the significant titles of the Forties to see what was involved and that formed the basis of this essay.
The scope had widened however to include not just titles in the National Library collections but also other books by authors who were popular with children at that time such as Richmal Crompton, the author of the "William" books, Enid Blyton and Helen Dore Boylston. Some mention also had to be made of the many film and radio series that originated in the time such as the "Lassie" stories.
The very small number of New Zealand publications are recorded while the bulk of the titles came from America and England. Picture books flourished at that time and many have become all-time classics. Children's family stories and animal and school stories were all developing and starting to break away from the very middle class, unrealistic tales of the thirties. The ground was being prepared for the burst of vigorous writing for children in the Fifties and Sixties. New genres of science fiction and career fiction were just beginning. You will enjoy going back to see if you can recall the favourites of your childhood.
N-B-A 12 was launched at the Friends event in October by writer, librarian and advocate for children's literature, Barbara Murison. She welcomed this survey on writing for children published in the 1940s and was delighted to see listed many of her own favourites. She entertained the audience with the memory of locking her grandmother in the pantry. Barbara was not at all bothered by the punishment of not being allowed to visit her grandmother again, but very upset that this meant she would no longer have access to the Just William books!
Notes-Books-Authors 12 (ISSN 01145428) is available free to members and will cost others NZ$5.00. If you have not received your members copy – or wish to buy one – please contact mary.skarott@dia.govt.nz

JILL SHEFRIN
On October 28 we were very fortunate to have the opportunity to host the Canadian academic Jill Shefrin. Her topic To excite their attention with images and pictures; printed pictures in formal and informal education of children in the long eighteenth century was fascinating and illustrated with some very engaging images. Looking at the period from about 1660 to 1820 Jill has explored newspaper advertisements, ephemera, diary entries, letters, and games, as well as the artefacts themselves to discover many examples of pictures used to 'instruct and delight'.
One of the most delightful examples of an illustrated book for a child that Jill showed us is the Book of Silvia Cole held in the Osborne Collection at Toronto Public Library. This handmade reading book dates from about 1720 and include pictures from a child's life – the family and neighborhood activities
To find out more about Jill and her research go to teetotum.ca – and in case you are wondering Jill does explain her web address (/tee tot m/): noun. A small four-sided spinning top used as a die in games of chance. (Oxford English Dictionary)
A CHILD'S War – WORDS AND PICTURES FROM WORLD WAR I
An exhibition in the Turnbull Gallery, Level 1, National Library of NZ, Wellington 24 November 2014 to 27 February 2015 Monday-Saturday 10:00am to 5:00pm
This exhibition explores the affect that the Great War had on the children of New Zealand. Curator Mary Skarott uses material from across the collection to illustrate how, although children had no invading forces to fight, the adult world sought to win their hearts and hands to support and contribute to the war effort.
Some New Zealand children's reading during World War I did not go much beyond the School Journal and perhaps the newspaper. Others, though, read stories and informative books about the events of the war. The exhibition includes a selection of children's books from the Dorothy Neal White Collection that were published during World War I.
Examples of books from the exhibition

BOOK REVIEW – We wish you a Kiwi Christmas
Every year brings a few children's Christmas books adding a New Zealand flavour to old themes. This year we have a bi-lingual play on "We wish you a merry Christmas". This is a wonderfully colourful book by Lynette Evans with illustrations by Myles Lawford.
Easily sung to the favourite Christmas tune in both English and Te Reo Māori, the words have been adapted to include some of our native birds in this story of how they help Santa to find his way again after a crash landing.
In addition there is a CD in both Māori and English at the back of the book. This is sung by Pio Terei with the Māori lyrics by Ngaere Roberts. Backing vocals are by Marian Burns and the singers from Marina View School, Auckland.
Lynette has written many children's books, fiction and non-fiction, about New Zealand and international wildlife. Myles has illustrated number of titles for Scholastic, including The 12 Days of Kiwi Christmas, Doggy Ditties and The Letterbox Cat. Entertainer, Pio Terei is the well-known New Zealand presenter of 'The parenting show' and enhances this book with the vocals in the CD.
A lovely interactive book for the younger reader, with added encouragement to explore the bi-lingual lyrics in a sing-along version.

Carrick Elliot Lewis
16 May 1937 – 23 October 2014
It was a shock when I learned of the death of Carrick Lewis. Carrick, with his wife Norrina, had been keen members of the Friends, regularly attending events, including the 2014 AGM in June. At every annual general meeting Carrick could be counted on to recognise the work of the committee and also to contribute to the discussion – and so it was this year. We missed him at our October event, but it was not until his memorial service, held a Lychgate Chapel on 6 November 2014 that I learned that he had been ill for some months.
Although Carrick never served on the FDNW committee he was involved in many other organisations, both local and national, and on the executives of several. He had a strong interest in politics and the environment, as well as in the arts and education. Among the organisations in which he had an active interest were the NZ-USSR Society (Wellington branch), the Humanist Society of New Zealand, Grey Power (Wellington Central), the Victoria University Club and the National Library Society (NZ). He was also a former president, and an honorary life member of the United Nations Association of New Zealand, an active member of the New Zealand Labour Party, and a PSA secretary-organiser.
Carrick is survived by his wife Norrina, and his brothers Martin and Eric, both of whom spoke at his funeral. We will miss Carrick's involvement with the Society, and we offer our condolences to them and to Carrick's many friends and extended family.
Mary Cadogan
Literary historian, broadcaster and writer with a fascination for children's literature whose 1976 book You're a brick, Angela! became a standard text
'Noël Coward talked about the potency of "cheap music". Well. I'm a great believer in the potency of "cheap literature",' Mary Cadogan once said.
Mary Cadogan, who has died aged 86, was a literary historian, chronicling the history of children's books, romantic and detective fiction and many other aspects of the popular culture of the last two centuries. A writer, critic and broadcaster, she was a passionate advocate for the pleasures of times past, who delighted in passing on her love of writers and their work, as if sitting beside the reader and sharing some much-thumbed book or comic that had amused her, thrilled her or caught and excited her imagination.
Cadogan's literary career was triggered by a chance meeting in the mid-70s with the Belfast-born writer Patricia Craig, with whom she shared an interest in the school-story genre. This resulted, in 1976, in their collaborating on You're a brick, Angela!, a review of girls' books between 1839 and 1975, spanning a wide spectrum of writings, from the moral and improving tales of the Victorians, via school adventures and comic papers, to the novels of Joan Aiken, Nina Bawden and others. Thoroughly researched, filled with sharp observations and, above all, wittily written, the book garnered wide critical praise and swiftly became (and has remained) a standard text.
The book's success led to two more collaborations with Craig, Women and children first: the fiction of two World Wars (1978) and The lady investigates: women detectives and spies in fiction (1986), volumes which, like their forerunner, offered a new perspective on the often overlooked role of women in popular fiction and the contributions of female writers
Cadogan had found her metier and her personal reputation was secured with biographies of two authors responsible for much-loved characters from children's fiction: Richmal Crompton: The woman behind William (1986) and Frank Richards: The Chap Behind the Chums (1988).
She would return to the disaster-prone William and his Outlaws in The William companion (1990) and Just William through the ages (1994) and to Billy Bunter, the Owl of the Remove, and his fellow students at Greyfriars school, in a series of publications in collaboration with John Wernham and Tommy Keen, devoted to the characters and stories in the prolific canon of Charles Hamilton and his alter ego, Frank Richards.
Other successful titles included Chin Up, Chest Out, Jemima!: A Celebration of the Schoolgirls' Story (1989), Women With Wings: Female Flyers in Fact and Fiction (1992), And Then Their Hearts Stood Still: An Exuberant Look at Romantic Fiction Past and Present (1994) and in 2008, the year of her 80th birthday, Mary Carries On: Reflections on Some Favourite Girls' Stories. Her affection for the picture-strip adventures of Rupert Bear, created by Mary Tourtel for the Daily Express, inspired Rupert and the Women in his World (2006), while admiration for Enid Blyton led to a collaboration with Norman Wright on two treasuries of Blyton adventure and school stories. Cadogan was a regular reviewer for the Birmingham Post for almost two decades and contributed reviews and features to many national papers and magazines. For a more specialist readership, she edited the Story Paper Collectors' Digest (1987-2008) and acted as co-editor of the Just William Society Magazine (1995-2003).
Born in Ealing, west London, she was the daughter of Thomas Summersby, a policeman, and his wife Ivy, a nurse. The family later moved to Kent, where Mary was educated at Bromley county grammar school for girls, matriculating in 1944. Her youthful reading would have an impact on her later writing career, as she noted: "I used to devour the Magnet and the Schoolgirl avidly in the 1930s … at the same time as I was devouring the works of Jane Austen, Charlotte Brontë and Anna Sewell. It never struck me then, or now, that there was anything fundamentally in opposition about these two types of reading." She said that there was a often a weekly scramble to get her hands on her brother Tom's copy of the Magnet before he could read the comic himself.
She began her working life as programme secretary for the BBC's variety and, later, schools broadcasting departments. In the former she encountered many well-known entertainers of the day, including Tommy Handley and Arthur Askey, while others – among them Frank Muir and Arthur Marshall – became and remained friends. She subsequently trained in music and dance therapy for young polio victims and worked as secretary to the welfare committee of the Infantile Paralysis Fellowship (now British Polio Fellowship).
It was in their offices that she met one of her literary heroines, Crompton, a keen supporter of the charity and herself a polio sufferer, though she never plucked up the courage to question Crompton about her famous literary creation, William Brown.
In 1950 she married Alexander Cadogan, an engineer. They began attending talks by the Indian writer and teacher Jiddu Krishnamurti, a man she once described as being 'the great spiritual force of the 20th century". From 1958 until her death, she worked for the Krishnamurti organisations in England as the first company secretary of the Krishnamurti Foundation, 1968-1995, and subsequently as a governor of the foundation and its international school at Brockwood Park in Hampshire. She also chaired the foundation's publications committee and edited several of Krishnamurti's books, including two volumes of his dialogues with the theoretical physicist Professor David Bohm.
Cadogan was a recipient of the Silver Cross of St George award from This England magazine, a lifetime achievement award from the Children's Books History Society and, in 2009, received an honorary doctorate of letters from Lancaster University for having "enriched the store of human knowledge and added to the sum of human happiness".
She once said: "Noël Coward talked about the potency of 'cheap music.' Well, I'm a great believer in the potency of 'cheap literature'."
She is survived by Alexander and their daughter, Teresa; and by her brother Tom.
• Mary Cadogan (Mary Rose Summersby), writer, critic and broadcaster, born 30 May 1928; died 27 September 2014
• This article was amended on 9 October 2014. The original stated that You're a Brick, Angela!, published in 1976, was a review of girls' books between 1839 and 1985. In fact, the first edition of You're a Brick, Angela! included titles published up to 1975, and a later edition took in the following decade. This has been corrected.

Yesterday we told you of Tally a dog who lastweek helped save Max's life by giving blood.
We've been told today Max is doing really well and even managed to have a nice walk to the vets for a check up that went well.
To see the full story please click here.
Last week the GSPCA were approached to ask the question if we had a life saving dog.
Sadly a dog had been rushed to Isabelle Vets with health problems which meant the dog required a blood transfusion.
The GSPCA has over 200 animals at the Shelter from dogs to birds, cats to a horse and we the GSPCA team took a dog Tally up to the vets to see if he would be suitable.
Tally is an energetic lively dog lwho has come in to the Animal Shelter to find a new home. He is a 6 year old flat coated retriever and loves people.
The GSPCA often receive calls from distressed animal owners for a number of reasons and this year one that has been highlighted is that of dogs attacking other animals.
It is often reported in the press regarding dogs killing chickens that aren't controlled but it doesn't stop there. At the GSPCA we often have other birds, hedgehogs, rabbits and even cats that are reported to the Shelter that have been killed by dogs that aren't under control.

Adding to this, professional services firms are at risk being disrupted by technological developments, enabling new business models to replace old distribution channels. The disruptions are mainly caused by social media, mobile, cloud, big data, artificial intelligence and a growing demand for "anytime-anywhere" access to information. Other causes include changing global demographics, increase in entrepreneurship and innovation, and the movement of economic centers from West to East and from North to South . Following these steps, the professional services market is expected to $8.5 trillion by 2022.

1. Tolerations. What are you putting up with? It can be little things or big things. Make your list. You'll be surprised how easy it is to come up with ten; maybe even twenty, or more. When we get rid of our tolerations, we feel like we're making progress, accomplishing something. It feels good; we feel good, lighter, with more energy to apply elsewhere. Even writing your list will help.
2. Shoulds. What are the 'shoulds' you've put on yourself, or that someone else has put on you? What 'should' you be doing right now, for example? Or with your life? or time? or money? or career? or lifestyle? or what you wear? Again, make your list and review it. How much of your life are you living based on someone else's 'shoulds?' Is that how you want to continue?
3. Frustrations. List the things that are frustrating you right now about yourself, your life, your work, or others? How would your life be different without them? Better? Is that something you'd like to work for?
4. Money. Money, or lack of it, and our relationship with it, is often the heart of our issues. It causes stress and pressure builds. It has to go somewhere. Worry and anxiety harm ourselves and do nothing for our welll being. What kind of 'money baggage' are you carrying? Reduce the stress, for your own health and happiness. Find a better, healthier relationship with money.
5. Coaching Clubs and Private Programs. Many coaches offer a menu of private programs and group options to fit diverse needs and budgets. The coach's website is a place to learn more. At the least, have a conversation if there's a coach you're interested in. There may be additional possibilities to fit your needs.
6. Desires. What do you really want in your personal or professional life? Is there a goal you've put off? A success you want to accomplish? A passion and purpose you're ready to step in to? Where do you want to be stretched or mentored to the next level? Or where do you need support and accountability to finish what you started?
7. Integrity. Self-care. Are you taking care of yourself and your body? Are you stressed out? Eating or drinking too much? Running on adrenaline? Not enough sleep? Avoiding the truth of a situation? Not taking time for yourself? Do you like the person in the mirror?
8. Outcomes. You know what you want, you're focused, and you want some professional support to do it: Weight loss or quit smoking, or preparing and giving a speech in front of an audience, for example. Nothing wrong with a tightly focused intention. Go for it.
9. Strategies. Here you know what you want; you're just not sure how to do it, get it, or make it happen. So you work with your coach on strategies and develop a plan to get you what you want, in the shortest period of time and with the least amount of stress.
10. A change or improvement. Change happens. And sometimes we have to make adjustments–in ourselves and in situations. It might be a job change, or promotion we're after, or we'd like to improve our self-image and confidence and be more effective. Or maybe we're bored and want more meaning and happiness in our days. What change or improvement has your name on it?

The Francis Parker Yockey & George Lincoln Rockwell Centennials
The Roman Way, Part Two »
Chose-merta:
A Review of Hervé Ryssen's The Jewish Mafia
The Jewish Mafia
Self-published by the translator, Carlos Porter, 2016
"I believe in America."
These are the first words spoken in Francis Ford Coppola's 1972 landmark film, The Godfather. They are spoken by an Italian immigrant, a mortician, who is coming to his local mafia boss for some extra-legal assistance. The double meaning is clear. In America, one can succeed honestly or dishonestly. Either way, there is a lot to believe in.
Jewish-American crime boss Ludwig "Tarzan" Fainberg – pimp, racketeer, drug-dealer, and arms smuggler – had little use for such literary niceties. For him, there was only one meaning of America. "I love this country," he once enthused. "It's so easy to steal here!"
Anecdotes like this one populate much of Hervé Ryssen's The Jewish Mafia, an in-depth account of Jewish underworld crime throughout the centuries. Written in 2008 and finally translated into English from the French by Carlos W. Porter in 2016, The Jewish Mafia focuses mostly on the twentieth and twenty-first century misdeeds of diaspora Jews who organized to take advantage of the gentiles that surround them. Jews have victimized other Jews both in Israel and abroad, and Ryssen makes sure to cover that as well.
Throughout the book, however, Ryssen consistently brings home three central themes. One is the silence with which Jewish organized crime is received by the major news and media organs in West. It's to the point where most are unaware that the Jewish stereotype of the sleazy, underhanded criminal could ever be found outside of Dickens novels and Shakespeare plays. Since the Second World War, there has been a cover-up of this "invisible mafia," a "Chose-merta," if you will. And Ryssen does what he can to pull the curtain back to reveal it.
The second theme is the sameness of it all. When there is money to be made, Jews will find a way to make it. Doesn't matter if it's a shtetl near Odessa, a sugar plantation in South America, a gold mine in South Africa, or a strip club in Florida, Jews have a genius for profit, and if given an inch they will take a mile. Ryssen makes clear that most Jews are not like this. He also makes clear that of the Jews who are, many possess scruples and stay within the bounds of the law. But the ones who don't keep cropping up everywhere throughout history doing pretty much the same things: stealing, lying, bribing, pimping, smuggling, embezzling, and dealing in contraband, among other wrongdoings. It's more than a trend.
Sadly, it's an absolute. Further, it's one that powerful elites would prefer not be disclosed. Despite being put on trial thirteen times and imprisoned for three months in 2015 for his writing (and despite how journalist Paul Klebnikov was "murdered by the Jewish mafia" after writing a book exposing how Jewish gangsters devastated the former Soviet Union in the 1990s), Ryssen does the brave and dangerous work of disclosing it.
Ryssen's ultimate theme is more meta. As often as possible, he cites Jewish sources, which makes many of his points difficult to impugn.
Ryssen starts off with perhaps the most well-known instances of Jewish crime: the American gangsters of the early- to mid-twentieth century. Financial genius Meyer Lansky, contract killer and head of "Murder Incorportated" Louis Buchalter, and celebrity psychopath Bugsy Siegel are the most famous examples, but there are many more. Hand-in-hand with the Sicilian mafia, Jewish gangsters co-created what became known as "the Syndicate" in 1929, the first true example of organized crime in America. Of the "Big Seven" permanent members of the Syndicate, four were Sicilians (including "Lucky" Luciano) and three were Jews. In fact, prior to the formation of the Syndicate, Luciano enlisted Siegel and other Jewish killers to bump off Salvatore Maranzano, the sole head of the Sicilian mob (the Capo di Tutti Capi), precisely because Maranzano didn't want to join forces with Jews.
Ironic how an act of philo-Semitism resulted in the formation of history's most famous crime organization, isn't it?
Next, Ryssen chronicles the rise of the Jewish "oligarchs" who took full advantage of the economic chaos following the fall of the Soviet Union to make their fortunes. The principal villains here are Vladimir Gusinsky and Boris Berezovsky, two Jewish men who engaged in the "great, shameless pillaging of the natural resources of the country," buying at ridiculously low prices and selling abroad to amass their riches, all the while evading taxes and providing kickbacks aplenty. Fur, nickel, lumber, aluminum, didn't matter. Commodities were bought and sold, and the traders (many of whom, like Berezovsky, were in cahoots with Russian Prime Minister Boris Yeltsin) in large part got away with it. Petroleum was the most profitable, and so became "one of the principal battlefields of organized crime in Russia," according to Klebnikov. Ryssen goes further to say that "[c]riminal groups killed those who refused to work with them, and many refinery managers were assassinated."
Ryssen writes that this "resulted in a 50% collapse of the Russian gross domestic product." Klebnikov stated that "[a]ll those who traveled in Russia in the first few years of the Yeltsin era were struck by the spectacle of Russian citizens attempting to survive." All the while, billions of dollars coming out of Russia were being laundered in the United States.
Despite holding an Israeli passport, Berezovsky operated from within the Yeltsin government. He had established close ties with Chechen terrorists, Islamic fundamentalists, and other criminals who carried out over 130 kidnappings and numerous political assassinations in the 1990s. Berezovsky even admitted that he and his cronies were "100% responsible" for Yeltsin's reelection in 1996. With the rise of Vladimir Putin, however, things got a little too hot for the oligarchs, with Gusinsky eventually fleeing to Israel and Berezovsky to England.
Throughout this chapter, Ryssen makes judicious use of scare quotes, always referring to it as the "Russian" mafia, since, despite this common misunderstanding, the leadership of this particular mafia was hardly Russian at all.
One slightly less prevalent theme of The Jewish Mafia is the open-borders and globalist predilection of these Jewish criminals. Nationalism of all sorts – other than Israeli nationalism, of course – is bad for business, and therefore should be shunned. Jews, with their business acumen and vast, familial networks across the globe were able to exploit markets in nearly all fields, illicit ones included. In a chapter called "Arms, Junk, and Diamonds," Ryssen takes us through the international drug trade and addresses dozens upon dozens of Jewish criminals, each by name. A few women, rabbis, Sephardic Jews, and Hasidim are included.
Porn gets its own chapter as well. Ryssen describes the Jews' historical links to the skin trade, from Jack Kahane's publishing of obscene novels in the 1930s, to Francis Mischkind's spearheading of the porno cinema revolution in 1970s France, to Gary Kremen and Stephen Cohen's bringing of porn to the Internet in the 1990s. Tied with porn, of course, is prostitution, and Ryssen takes us along the nearly 150-year-long connection between Jews and the White slave trade. Despite their small numbers, the Jews were major players in this hideous market from the late nineteenth century until the Second World War. Their enterprises took them from the Far East and India to Turkey, Europe, Israel, South America, and the United States. Often, Jewish brothel owners were shunned by their own kind, and so formed their own, separate Jewish communities. Most infamous is the Zwi Migdal of Argentina, which set up its own synagogues and graveyards, since the legitimate Jewish communities refused to recognize them. While it is true that, prior to the Second World War, the majority of the girls being victimized were Jewish, after the fall of the Soviet Union, that honor fell to Slavic girls who had previously lived behind the Iron Curtain.
And speaking of slaves, Ryssen does not leave out the role Jews played in the sale and transport of Africans during the trans-Atlantic slave trade. In the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, many Spanish Jews who had recently converted to Christianity (called marranos or conversos) owned and ran enormous sugar plantations in South America. According to Ryssen, they were mostly responsible for the purchase and transport of black African slaves once they arrived. According to Jewish writer Marc Lee Raphael, "Jewish traders played a very major role in the slave trade at Curacao in the 17th century, as well as in the British colonies in Barbados and Jamaica in the 18th century." In the United States, it was hardly any different. Again, according to Ryssen:
Here, as well, Jews were among the biggest traders until the abolition of slavery . . . in 1865. In the 17th century, when slavery was still prohibited in the north, four rich Israelite traders from Philadelphia, Sandiford Lay, Woolman, Solomon, and Benazet, worked with legislators to amend the law and obtain its legalization, thus making Newport, Rhode Island, the hub of the American slave trade and home to the biggest Jewish community in the United States at that time.
This is not to let whites off the hook for the atrocities committed during this time, of course, but it should be known that Jews possessed no moral high ground when it came to the slave trade. They were just as enthusiastic about it as the white Christians were. Perhaps more so, given that abolitionism was a Christian phenomenon, and it was white Christians who ended the slave trade and slavery in the United States after the Civil War.
Despite being a strong dose of truth in a subject matter often clouded in lies, Ryssen's work does suffer from time to time from a lack of focus. For example, in the chapter entitled "The Porno Mafia," he implies that Playboy founder Hugh Hefner and sexploitation filmmaker Russ Meyer were both Jewish, which isn't true. In his chapter about the African slave trade, he cites a work called The Secret Relationship between Blacks and Jews by "black American researcher Louis Farrakhan." Through Farrakhan, Ryssen provides a list of twenty-seven Jewish slave traders who operated out of Newport in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. While I don't challenge the accuracy of Farrakhan's list, to label Louis Farrakhan (a hateful, anti-white demagogue if there ever was one) as nothing more than a "researcher" is a little too much for the discerning reader to swallow. The same goes for quoting proven liar and terrorist Yasser Arafat as an honest source in Ryssen's chapter on Jewish ties to organ trafficking.
Ryssen also dedicates a chapter to how the Ottoman Empire captured and traded in white Christian slaves from 1500 to 1800. He relies heavily on Robert Davis' indispensable 2004 work Christian Slaves, Muslim Masters and provides a serviceable summary of how over a million Europeans were enslaved in the Muslim world during this period. While it's admirable that he helps spread the word about Robert Davis' research, the fact remains that Davis made very little mention of Jews in his work. Ryssen ends the chapter rather unconvincingly by speculating about how Jews may have had a role in the enslavement of white Europeans during the heyday of the Ottoman Empire.
The Jewish Mafia could also do with some perspective. Aside from the first chapter, in which the Sicilian mafia rightly receives much attention as rivals and partners of Jewish gangsters, Ryssen tells us very little about the underworld activities of other ethnic groups as a means of comparison. For example, Edward J. Bristow does this in Prostitution and Prejudice, his comprehensive work on the Jewish role in white slavery, which Ryssen cites as a source. As a matter of fact, Bristow dedicates many pages to the concerted Jewish fight against white slavery. Were there any similar Jewish efforts against Jewish organized crime? Ryssen never really says, despite how useful such knowledge would be to our understanding of this controversial topic.
Despite this, Ryssen succeeds in raising the question of why the Jews were so despised and so often evicted from European nations throughout history. Sure, they were clannish and "stiff-necked," and isolated themselves from their host populations. Their love for business, coupled with their lack of patriotism and anti-nationalist sentiment, did them few favors as well. But, as Ryssen points out, a small yet influential minority of them were never above living what we call today the thug life, and this always managed to annoy their gentile neighbors, to say the least. Ryssen cites many famous names throughout history to help prove his point: Tacitus, Kant, Napoleon, Martin Luther, Alexander Pope, and others, all saying more or less the same thing. Should they all be dismissed as "anti-Semites?" Or maybe there was something to their criticisms of Jews?
Ryssen relies on the great Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn several times in his book. In Two Hundred Years Together (which is sadly still not translated into English in its entirety), Solzhenitsyn offers a broad history of Russian Jewry, and has both positive and negative things to say about Jews. In two telling passages quoted in The Jewish Mafia, Solzhenitsyn tells it like it is. In one, Solzhenitsyn writes:
These people purchased the right to levy tribute from the Tatars, they practiced exorbitant usury against the poor, and, in the event of non-payment, declared them slaves and sold them into captivity. The inhabitants of Vladimir, Suzdal, and Rostov very soon lost patience and rose up simultaneously and as one man, at the sound of the bells, to destroy the evil usurers; some were killed, others were expelled.
In another, Solzhenitsyn quotes Ivan the Terrible in a letter from 1550 to the Polish King explaining why Jews should not be allowed into Russia:
. . . we have already written to you several times, speaking of the villainous actions of the Jews, who turn away from Christ, introducing poisoned drugs into our State, and causing to our people.
Also according to Solzhenitsyn, Czar Alexander I evicted Jews from their villages in 1804 because they were producing and dealing in cheap brandy, which was "harming the health of the peasants." Solzhenitsyn is what I would call a big gun. No writer was as brave and as honest as Solzhenitsyn, and Ryssen was wise to cite him. If Solzhenitsyn says that Jewish criminality was the reason why Jews were evicted from towns and countries throughout history, then that is authoritative. All of Ryssen's other data essentially serves to prove that Solzhenitsyn was right.
Of course, none of this justifies crimes committed against Jews by gentiles – and make no mistake, there was a lot of that. But by bringing up the thorny issue of the Jewish mafia, compiling it all in one volume, and supporting it with citations from as many Jewish sources as possible, Hervé Ryssen has made a critical contribution to the conversation that will one day get to the bottom of the Jewish Question.
And perhaps then we will come to an answer we can all believe in.

Further details on how the Jews looted Russia after the fall of the Soviet Union is in the story "How Harvard lost Russia"
The US government hired Harvard to advise Russia about privatization of Russian economy. So of course the Jews advised the Russians to rush and sell off its best property to Jewish oligarchs for pennies on the dollar.
But of course the Jews got even greedier and engaged in insider trading even though their contract specifically forbid it. When the Jews got caught they ran back to Harvard but so egregious was their activities that even the US government could not support it so Harvard was fined tens of millions of dollars, the leader of the Jews was fined over a million dollars and the entire Harvard office was shut down
(((Andrei Shleifer))) was the Jew who ran the operation and even though fined he still has a job at Harvard

The conclusion seems somewhat naive, for it suggests that the Jewish question, of which organized crime is one facet, is something that can be resolved with dialogue. For my part, I'm more sympathetic to the spirit that informs Joseph Goebbels' remarks on Judeo-Bolshevism in his speech, "Communism with the Mask Off":
"It has been thought out, set afoot and led under the inspiration of the Mammon worship and materialist thought which is incarnated in international Jewry, scattered throughout every country of the globe. It is no social experiment. It is nothing else than a mammoth system for the expropriation and despoiling of the Aryan directive classes in all the nations, and the substitution of the Jewish underworld in their place. Those people who put themselves forward here as the apostles of a new teaching and the liberators of mankind are in reality figures that herald anarchy and chaos for the civilised world.
"There is no longer any political question at issue here. This thing cannot be judged or estimated by political rules or principles. It is iniquity under a political mask. It is not something to be brought before the bar of world history but rather something that has to be dealt with by the judicial administration of each country. It must be met with the same ruthless and even brutal means with which it strives to usurp power or hold power in its hands. Here there can be no bargaining; because the danger that threatens Europe is acute. . . . Those States that make peace with it will soon learn from experience that it is not they who will tame Bolshevism but that Bolshevism will bring them under its heel."
In this context, we might recall Napoleon's view that the Jews "must be treated with political justice, not with civil justice." They must be dealt with by the state as an alien and hostile people, and not as individual citizens. If there is such a thing as an answer to the Jewish question — which is clearly a "wicked problem," to use Horst Rittel's terminology — it will surely require force, albeit used with intelligence, skill, and a long-term strategic view. To borrow the terminology of computer security writer Eric Cole, the Jews are an "advanced persistent threat": they have the capability and intent to do us harm, they target us persistently and effectively, and they know how to disable or work around our security measures.

A valuable source on the Jewish role in the white slave trade during the Middle Ages and throughout Ottoman times is rabbi Louis Isaac Rabinowitz's 1948 study of the Radanites: Jewish Merchant Adventurers.
Rabbi Rabinowitz himself, by the way, offers a glaring example of Semitic hypocrisy. During his time in South Africa he donned the cloak of enlightened humanism and was
a harsh critic of the South African National Party's apartheid policies.
When he settled in the Holy Land, however,
his political positions in were right wing. He was a founder of the Movement for a Greater Land of Israel and opposed the Israeli withdrawal from the Sinai Peninsula as part of the Camp David Peace agreements with Egypt.
What else is new, right?
Anyway. Another interesting work on Judaic practices in the marketplace is Sombart's 1911 classic The Jews and Modern Capitalism.
The reason criminals collaborate is because they are criminals. The Sicilian People and all European People for that matter are distinct from Jewish People. The Jews are a people apart.
A Solzhenitsyn translation seems ongoing, and is fascinating. I also recommend this note on the translation project itself.

But we would too, if we had the acumen! Let's just protect ourselves from Shakespeare's green-eyed monster, gentlemen. Don't forget that more than half of world chess champions from the soviet block were Jewish as well.
The green-eyed monster as you depict him is another example of Jewish projection. Gods Chosen living in shtetls, wandering as tinkers while White Western civilization rose up to mock them…Egypt, Persia, Greece, Rome. Architecture, literature, music and philosopy flourished but they clung to their primitive Talmud lacking the greatness of spirit to create.
To make a long historical narrative short, the map was rerouted in their favour. Remember, the map is not the territory. Cleverness co-opted intelligence, cunning and deception brought the cheap rewards of materialism. Beauty, despised by the jew as a "magic looking glass" into the soul, was degraded. We are all Jews now and Whites cannot compete in a hostile and foreign territory, but life is cycles.

I read Ryssen's book last November. Newbies will require a strong stomach to read it through, but I suspect Ryssen was pulling punches in some passages. Perhaps he or the translator thought it desirable to tone down some sections lest they offend the Anglo-phone readership.
The collaboration of Sicilian and Jewish gangsters should not surprise us, both groups share a similar set of genes. Likewise, we shouldn't be surprised by the silence of "law abiding Jews" in turning a blind eye to the criminal activities of their more adventurous brethren. Jews of a more moderate disposition are voluntarily locked in a group evolutionary strategy with the criminal elements providing the cutting edge, while they function as a support structure as blows of the Jewish ax are inflicted on the Aryan tree.
Stop using "gentile" and start using "White." Have some self-respect.
A gentile simply is a non-Jew, a goy, and can be of any race.
Thou dost speaketh the truth, Matthias.
Mark 14:70 ……surely thou (Peter) art one of them: for thou art a Galilean……..
Mathew 4:15 ….. Galilee of the Gentiles.
So you see the world through the frame of your enemy. That means you have already lost the intellectual struggle.
We as Whites should see the word in terms of White and non-White. Jews are non-Whites, same as blacks, Asians, and anyone else.

Emerald Life launches new partnership with Foreign Office/Travel Aware to better support LGBT and women travellers
In March 2018, Travel Aware, the Foreign Office's advice campaign for UK travellers, launched its "Local Laws and Customs" initiative, to remind UK residents travelling abroad of the need to be aware of local, regional and national differences that may affect what you take to a country, or how you behave while there.
To support this campaign, Emerald Life, the award-winning insurance provider, plans to roll out specific advice for LGBT and women travellers. There were nearly 71 million visits overseas by UK residents in 2016 (up 8% from 2015) and many of those travellers are women and/or LGBT. Over the course of 2018, Emerald Life will work with the Travel Aware campaign to collaborate on content specifically for those travellers who do not fit the mainstream, and who might have additional needs or concerns.
This partnership will be ongoing – laws and customs change all the time, particularly in relation to LGBT issues, women's safety, trans issues and marriage equality. For example, Bermuda has just revoked its marriage equality legislation. What does that mean for same-sex couples who had planned a wedding on a Bermuda-registered cruise ship? Currently a UK resident gay couple is trying to get back their deposit from a cruise company, so far without success. And sentiment on transgender recognition is moving all the time, both forwards and backwards. Many transgender travellers are unsure about what they need to declare when taking out travel insurance, or presenting a passport, and often insurers themselves are unclear.
As for women travellers, there is extra concern around harassment and assault in certain regions. In some countries, single women travellers are not welcomed in certain restaurants, for example, in Azerbaijan, where one of our customers reported that many restaurants are unofficially male only.
Heidi McCormack, Emerald Life CEO said, "We welcome Travel Aware's new Local Laws & Customs campaign and Emerald's part in it. With almost 71 million trips abroad by UK residents, many of those travellers will be women or LGBT. The campaign will evolve to look at issues faced by certain specific groups of travellers and we are very pleased to be able to provide input to Travel Aware as part of their drive to ensure that diversity is recognised."
Steve Wardlaw, Emerald Life Chairman, said "Emerald Life was established to provide insurance which embraces diversity and inclusion and to be aware of additional issues that certain customers may face, particularly our women and LGBT customers. Our travel policy includes extra protection while abroad and recognises that many customers have different needs from the mainstream, for example including surrogate children as standard, and extra clarifications for our transgender customers when applying for insurance. It is great that we are working with the FCO's Travel Aware campaign on local laws and customs so that we can add in the benefit of what we have learnt from our customers when they travel."
Susan Crown, Head of the Travel Aware campaign, said:
"Our Travel Aware campaign is about preparing British travellers with the right information before they leave on their holidays. This covers everything from insurance, health advice, entry requirements and documentation, as well as understanding the local laws and customs of the country they are visiting. There are specific countries and audiences where knowing this advice is even more important, which is why it is vital we work with partners such as Emerald Life, who are already speaking to these particular travellers."
Travel Aware also stresses the need for proper travel insurance, which can include additional assistance for any traveller who might be in need of extra support. You can read more about that here.

So we had to cancel our trip today due to the major thunderstorm we had throughout the entire Mid Atlantic Region this morning. Hopefully everyone that laid overnight in the canyons made it through safely. I am booked for a lot of trips this coming week, so stay tuned for reports.
I ran out on the Boss Lady today on a charter with Captain Bill May. We had a great group of guys on the boat ready to put some tuna on the deck. We pointed the boat towards the Wilmington Canyon in calm seas, and had lines in by 7 am. We started on the West Wall where we marked a lot of bait deeper in the water column, but no bites. We slid over toward the East Wall and down towards the natural 100 where we finally got alittle action and put a 30# yellowfin in the box. The water was 76 degrees throughout the Wilmington Canyon, and it was a pretty blue. We started to mark tuna and also see them on the surface throughout the rest of the day sporadically and had a few coverups. Sad to say we had some unfortunate mishaps which made us 5/11 on yft tuna and also caught 1 mahi. Most of the tuna were in the 40-50 pound range. After such a slow day on Sunday, I'm happy to see that they were feeding heavy again today. There was lots of life out there from the yft on the surface, small whales, porpoise, and we even saw a free jumping white marlin. Next trip is Saturday on the Boss Lady.
I mated on the Boss Lady today with Captain Bill May. We headed out towards the 100 fathom line in between the Spencer and the Wilmington Canyon and were on the troll by 7:00 am. There were literally hundreds of boats out there, and it made fishing tough. The weather was absolutely perfect, but that's about as good as our day got. We never had a fish in our spread all day, and many others had the same problem while there were a lucky few that got into some Bigeyes and Blue Marlin. There was a fantastic Bigeye bite throughout the day, especially in the Wilmington Canyon. A lot of boats also saw tuna rolling on the surface all over, but they just would not bite anything. We even saw it once during the day, and not getting the fish to bite was extremely frustrating. We tried all different kinds of tricks, but nothing worked out.
It's looking like we are going to have a little bit of rough weather the next couple of days, but as long as the forecasts stays as predicted, we will be out again Thursday on the Boss Lady.
I ran the Trade In again today and decided to run towards to Baltimore looking for yellowfin tuna. We pulled out of the slip at 230 am and made a steady 26 knots all the way out. I hit a 3.5 degree temp break (66 up to 69.5 degrees) in 38 fathoms so we stopped and had lines in there at 545 am.
After an hour of working the break with no signs of fish I pushed offshore. Once we got into 50 fathoms close the the canyon we started picking at yellowfin in the 40-60 pound range. It was a slow steady pick all morning on singles and we were 5-6 by 11 am and had a blue marlin in the spread that didn't eat.
Action had slowed down for a while and we put out some of the 6# test rods for record fishing. Maureen got hooked up to a skipjack tuna which she brought to the boat and then we got a solid cover up of 40 pound yellowfin. Maureen was on with the 6# so we chased that fish for a short period of time before it broke off and we unfortunately only had one fish still connected since we couldn't keep em tight while chasing the tuna on 6#.
We ended up bringing home 6 nice yellowfin and had all of our bites in 50-60 fathoms on the 280. Fun fishing. The action was steady everywhere today.
Well today I took Maureen Klause out on her boat Trade In along with mate Anthiny Tsapis. After a 36 mile run right into the leftover ENE swell, we setup to drift for sharks in 66 degree blue green water. No takers, and the next move 5 miles away made no difference. We called it early since we wanted to get ready for our run offshore tomorrow. Hopefully the tuna will cooperate for us.
Spent the day today on the 50′ custom boat, Boss Lady, getting everything rigged and ready for the offshore season. She really is a beautiful boat and a great boat to charter. Great ride and competitive charter rates. Can't wait to get her out to the Bluewater. We are planning to run on Friday.
If this wind drops out I will be fishing on the 27 Contender, Trade In, with angler Maureen Klause the next two days. She is looking for another IGFA line class record on a mako or a blue shark.
Well since September weather has decided to come in June with a solid NE blow for 5 days straight now, I have taken advantage of the early season lay days to finish catching up on tackle and rigging odds and ends. I was going through my marlin teasers and saw I was missing my green squid chain because of a wahoo bite off, and I was also missing my tacky floss for rigging my circle hook ballyhoo, so a stop by Off the Hook Tackle in Cape May, NJ was needed. Chuck and Mary always have what you need, and if not, they can get it.
I got my Joe Shute sea witched in the mail this week too since I was running low on some must have colors, and Melton also sent me the Mold Craft Wide Ranges I ordered along with the Mold Craft Soft birds I am going to try out making a teaser out of a chain of them. Anxious to see how that works. The idea is for it to mimic flying fish, and I have had whites come up on a single Soft Bird quite a few times instead of the trailing lure or bait meant for tuna, so we will see what happens.
Boss Lady was supposed to get splashed yesterday as it had lots of yard work done to it so it could be ready to go for a solid 2012 season. The fish are here, and it's time to go once this wind lets up which is looking like Monday at the moment.

3 FUTURE EARNINGS Jan 30th, 2015
CEO Frank Gibeau on moving on from fixing Zynga to growing it
Frank Gibeau CEO Zynga
Frank Gibeau is the CEO of US mobile games publisher Zynga.
Gibeau was previously the executive vice president of EA Mobile, where he led EA's strategy, development and publishing for the fast-growing mobile games platforms.
Gibeau managed EA's portfolio of popular mobile franchises for iOS, Android and other platforms, including The Simpsons: Tapped Out, Plants vs. Zombies, Real Racing, Bejeweled and The Sims.
He also oversaw development of new mobile IP, as well as the Chillingo publishing operation for independent mobile developers.
August 2nd, 2018 - 04:00pm
Given Zynga's Q2 2018 financials saw it post its highest quarterly bookings total since late 2012, it's no surprise CEO Frank Gibeau has had enough of the term "turnaround".
Since the new management team took over in mid-2016, the company's trajectory has been on the up in terms of key metrics such as bookings, profits and cashflow.
"I'd be happy not using the word turnaround ever again," comments Gibeau.
Yet, as the instability of its share price demonstrates, not everyone remains convinced Gibeau's goal of sustaining 20 per cent profit margin (technically 20 per cent of adjusted EDITBA) is on the cards anytime soon.
"I don't look at the stock day-to-day," says Gibeau.
"When you're trying to turn a company around, your shareholders aren't always for the long-term but we've been working hard to explain the journey we're on."
Dancing to the rhythm of bold beats
And certainly, Zynga has been busy over the past 12 months.
It's spent $400 million on acquisitions, most recently $250 million on Turkish developer Gram Games. That deal closed at the end of May so only impacted one month of Zynga's April 1st to June 30th Q2 quarter.
It's also heavily focused on the live operations of its key games, what Gibeau calls 'bold beats' for Zynga's 'forever franchises'.
These game have performed well again in Q2 too, spurring on revenue of $217m, though still not enough to offset a $911k loss.
A particularly good performer in the quarter was new game Words With Friends 2, which thanks to its new IAP-driven modes saw mobile bookings leap 49 per cent year-on-year.
Zynga hopes Merge Dragons will become a Forever Franchise
Similarly, CSR 2 was up 21 per cent year-on-year thanks to the finale of its Fast and Furious events, with Zynga Poker up 13 per cent year-on-year in terms of mobile bookings. Even mobile advertising revenues, which had been soft for many quarters, popped 22 per cent.
And yet, overall Zynga's bookings were only up 12 per cent to $233.9 million.
2018 is all about live operations. 2019 will be about new games.
Frank Gibeau
The main reason concerns the company's heritage as a Facebook game developer: 10 per cent of revenues still come from non-mobile sources, and they were down 16 per cent.
"We have some great players on web and they don't want to move to mobile," Gibeau comments, referring especially to Zynga Poker.
Other one-off issues included the sunsetting of some legacy titles and a decline in Facebook usage following its well-publicised privacy issues.
More generally, however, Gibeau says he's happy with Zynga's momentum, with more promised in the second half of 2018.
Activity includes events celebrating Porsche's 70th anniversary in CSR 2 and the start of Zynga Poker's tie-in with the World Poker Tour, as well as full quarters from Gram's Merge Dragons game, something Gibeau believes, over time, will become another of Zynga's forever franchises.
The first of Zynga's new internally developed games - Willy Wonka's Sweet Adventure, which is currently in soft launch testing - is expected to get a full global release too.
Other as-yet-unannounced titles are in development and Gibeau says more details should be announced over the coming months.
"We're moving from 'fix it' to 'grow it'," he concludes.

Lamar, Northwestern State schedule football series for 2023, 2024
By Kevin Kelley - January 26, 2021

The Lamar Cardinals, one of four Southland Conference schools departing for the WAC this fall, have already lined up a future home-and-home football series with one of their fellow Southland members.
According to Lamar's official athletics website, Lamar and the Northwestern State Demons will play a home-and-home series in 2023 and 2024.
The series will begin with the Cardinals hosting the Demons at Provost Umphrey Stadium in Beaumont, Texas, on Sept. 2, 2023 and will conclude the following year when the series shifts to NSU's Harry Turpin Stadium in Natchitoches, La., on Sept. 21, 2024.
Lamar and Northwestern State first met on the gridiron in 1925 and have played a total of 23 contests. In their most recent meeting in 2019, the Demons defeated the Cardinals 34-13 to extend their advantage in the series to 14-8-1.
The two schools are also scheduled to meet in a regular-season contest this spring following the postponement of fall 2020 Southland Conference action due to the novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Northwestern State and Lamar will square off in the season-opener in Beaumont, Texas, on Saturday, Feb. 20, 2021.
With the addition of Northwestern State, Lamar has tentatively completed their non-conference schedules for the 2023 and 2024 seasons. Other opponents in 2023 include ULM on Sept. 9 and South Dakota on Sept. 16, both on the road.
Lamar now has four non-conference games set for the 2024 season. The Cardinals are slated to open the season at Texas State on Sept. 2 and then host back-to-back games at home against Texas Southern on Sept. 7 and South Dakota on Sept. 14.
Lamar is the second scheduled non-conference opponent for Northwestern State in 2023, joining a contest at Louisiana Tech on Sept. 9.
Northwestern State now has three non-conference opponents set for their 2024 schedule. Prior to hosting Lamar, the Demons are slated to host Prairie View A&M on Sept. 7 and travel to face South Alabama on Sept. 14.

Solar flares set off underwater mines in the Vietnam war – and we just figured it out.
[I]magine the U.S. military's alarm when, on August 4, 1972, it witnessed about two dozen or so spontaneous explosions in the waters off Hon La in North Vietnam.
Over four-and-a-half decades later, we now know the culprit was the sun. According to findings recently published in the journal Space Weather, a powerful solar storm likely triggered the mines' magnetic sensors and caused them to explode.
On that day in 1972, over the course of 30 seconds, American troops flying near North Vietnam witnessed between 20 and 25 explosions in the water, along with an additional 25 to 30 mud spots. Those mines use sensors to detect changes in the surrounding magnetic field density, changes that would normally be triggered by a ship passing above.
"It's our poster child of storms," says Knipp. "If a storm that bad were to appear again, then we would really have a lot of problems." Our current world is immensely tethered to communications instruments, electrical grids, and technology that can easily be fried by particularly strong bursts of solar activity.
Which begs the question: how often do storms like these occur? Underwater mines going off randomly is already a scary possibility to bear, but a loss of $40 billion a day to the U.S. economy is simply unthinkable.
There's no straight answer to that—after all, the entire field of space weather is a work-in-progress toward this goal. For example, breakthroughs in the last decade have helped illustrate how coronal mass ejections can occur in series rather than just as discrete events, which helped the team pinpoint why solar activity might be powerful enough to set off a couple-dozen underwater mines.

About coconut we need to know, first of all it is a beauty product because of its antibacterial and antifungal properties. In addition is a great moisturizer and very considerate of our skin.
A box of coconut oil is all you need to have in your cosmetics cabinet. It's so fabulous because it is versatile, being absolutely effective for all skin and hair types, is made up of saturated fat (90% of the entire contents) of vitamins E and K, but is rich in iron.
Calms Irritations (indicated for use after shaving, serves as antibacterial). This is why can be used to combat stretch marks. Therefore can be helpful in fighting the remaining stretch marks after pregnancy or after sudden decrease in weight. Make local massage with circular and energetic movements.
Make up remover – Healthier, more powerful, yet natural. Yes, you can remove your makeup with a pad and a little coconut oil.
Coco Chanel said that nature gives you the image that you have in 20 years, while 50 years you will have the one you deserve!
