THE CHANGING FACE OF ROUTE 66, A BOOK RECOMMENDATION, AND ASSORTED NOTES
by jimhinckleysamerica | Feb 22, 2015 | ROUTE 66 | 0 comments
The year 2015 is not quite two months old and already the face Route 66 experience has changed dramatically. This time it was with the announcement that Scott Cameron of Route 66 Sodas and Mr. C's Routepost near Lebanon, Missouri had passed away.
Scott, however, was much more than just another passionate and friendly Route 66 business owner that extended a warm and welcome greeting to travelers. If your not familiar with his interesting story, Route 66 News posted a feature profiling a few of his accomplishments.
Even though we stayed in contact with an occasional phone call and by email, we met Scott but one time. My dearest friend and I were headed home on the final leg of a book signing and promotional tour that had taken us as far as Chicago, and that included a formal book signing at the museum in Lebanon.
On these ventures every effort is made to visit with the owner of mom and pop shops, and if they carry our books, sign them. This gives them and us a promotional boost as the publisher will advertise locations where signed copies are available, and I add that list to the blog.
As it turned out, the planned short introductory meeting and informal book signing morphed into a most fascinating conversation in which we lost track of time and derailed our schedule. On Scott's insistence, we left with a six-pack of Route 66 soda. That afternoon rates quite high on our Route 66 experiences list.
The loss of Scott, as well as Gary Turner and Becky of Becky's Barn, will dramatically change the face of Route 66. These losses will also cast a long shadow over adventures on Route 66 this year.
A bit closer to home, I attended a memorial for Peggy Dunton yesterday afternoon. Peggy was the matriarch of the Dunton clan, and the wife of Roy Dunton.
Outside of the Kingman area the family may not be very well known but they have an association with Route 66 development that stretches to the era of the National Old Trails Highway. From a garage in Goldroad to the establishment of Cool Springs, from the creation of Mr. D'z to an Edsel dealership that fronted Route 66, this family has been at center stage of Route 66 development in western Arizona since its inception.
For the most part Saturday was relatively low key. Breakfast with our son kicked off the day, and then I repaired a brake light on the Jeep, worked a bit on Barney the Wonder truck, our well worn but dependable work horse, and then turned my attentions toward tax preparation linked to valiant attempts to bring order to the office, and then the writing of a book review for True West. Watching The Big Sleep with Humphrey Bogart rounded things out rather nicely.
The review written was for a most fascinating and enthralling new book from University of Oklahoma Press, Motoring West, Volume 1 (a hopeful teaser that there is more to come). Simply put, this book is a richly detailed time capsule that is crafted from a compilation of carefully selected journal entries, magazine features from publications as diverse as Scientific American and Harpers, automobile manufacturing company promotional brochures, and newspaper articles that detail motoring adventures between 1900 and 1909. Engaging and insightful introductions by Editor Peter J. Blodgett round things out nicely.
This book will be a welcome addition to the nightstand as well as library if you have an interest in automotive history, or just enjoy tales of endurance, exploration, and the trials and tribulations of high adventure on the western frontier.
Here is an excerpt from Motoring West that presents a pretty clear picture of what it was like to own an automobile, and to attempt to drive it out of town, before 1909.
In describing a drive from San Francisco to Nevada in 1901, "Adobe roads when dry and hard hold out opportunities for good going, but when the sponge like soil is soaked with moisture, when your wheels cut in, spin around, slip and slide from the course and suddenly your machine is off the road and into the swamp ditch – buried to the axles in the soft "doby" – then the fun begins.
Pull out block and tackle, wade around in the mud, get soaked to the skin and chilled from the effects of the deluge, make fastenings to the fence or telephone post and pull. Pull hard, dig your heels into the mud, and exert every effort at command. The machine moves, your feet slip, and down in the mud you go full length. Repeat the dose and continue the operation until the machine is free from the ditch and again upon the road."
Here is the line I liked best – "Slow work – not discouraging in the least, but a bit disagreeable, considering that it is the first day out and you are anxious to make a clever initial run."
Why there is so little written about this fascinating period of history mystifies me. For just a moment consider this; Buffalo Bill bought a 1903 Michigan.
A few years later Geronimo posed in a Cadillac. On the Senator Highway in Arizona, the Palace Station maintained a blacksmith shop and auto repair facility in 1906, and automobiles and stagecoaches used that road at the same time. The last use of a horse mounted posse to capture cattle rustlers in New Mexico took place at Endee in 1909.
Today will be another relatively low key venture. There will be a bit of time devoted to taxes, attention given the self publishing endeavor (chapter one, a detailed guide to Kingman, is almost finished),and then a delightful luncheon shared with my dearest friend, and Mike and Sharon Ward.
That should set the stage for the coming week with a schedule that includes writing, meetings, and visits.

One of Germany's most attractive projects is the Emscher Sewer. Construction started in 1992, and completion is expected for 2020, when it will have a total length of 51 kilometres, reaching from the wastewater treatment plant in Deusen, a district in Dortmund, to the confluence of the Emscher and the Rhine at Dinslaken. Total investments amount to EUR 4.5 billion, of which around EUR 3 billion has so far flown into the project. "300 of the system's 400 kilometres has been built up to now," said the water management association Emschergenossenschaft.
Further impressive figures in connection with the Emscher Sewer are its 35,000 pipes with diameters between 1.4 and 2.8 metres, which are installed 8 to 40 metres underground. The pipes are made of reinforced concrete. The gradient at these pipes is 1.5 per cent, i.e. 1.5 metres per kilometre, with a wastewater flow speed of 4 km/h.
The aim of this large-scale project is to take the wastewater to its treatment plants via underground pipes. "It means that the small rivers on the surface can be free from wastewater and can be redesigned in a way that is close to nature," says the water management association.
But it's impossible to talk about wastewater without including the entire wastewater system, and indeed not merely the wastewater pipes, but also the pipes within a sewage plant. Raw sludge, for instance, is pumped into a digestor which is several metres high. The digestion tower has a screening drum – a large pipe with numerous openings for sewage intake. Further pipes are required to take the wastewater from the aeration tank into the clarifier where the slurry is separates from the water under the force of gravity. Next, the sludge is taken back to the aeration tank via further pipes. The purified water can then flow back into a small or large river if there is one – obviously via a canal.
Wastewater treatment plants also require special structures. These include rainwater overflow basins, rainwater retention basins and retention soil filters. After or during a heavy rain the water intake capacity and cleaning capacity of the plant may be exceeded. "To prevent this from happening, a rainwater overflow basin is built outside the plant with the purpose of providing interim storage for wastewater," says the German water management association Wupperverband. On the other hand, a rainwater retention basin can be used for the short-term storage of large water volumes "before being conveyed further in the form of steam. The water rushes into the basin within a short period of time, is collected and is then gradually released into the body of water via a choke, i.e. a relatively small pipe." This avoids surge flushes, says the association, and thus harm to wildlife in the body of water.
Many European countries are now under pressure to act, particularly in Eastern Europe. By 2018 all municipal wastewater facilities must meet EU standards. This means expanding and modernising existing wastewater treatment plants as well as building new ones. Also, money has to be invested in expanding sewer systems. So, as we can see, the demand for pipes is clearly as strong as ever.

London is headed towards democratic dysfunction in 2020
By Areeq Chowdhury.
2016 witnessed a memorable moment of history for the UK's capital city when Sadiq Khan was elected the first Muslim Mayor of London. An outsider when he announced his candidacy, Khan managed to defeat his Conservative rival Zac Goldsmith by more than 300,000 votes, gaining the largest personal mandate of any politician in British history. However, despite the often toxic campaigns and the huge responsibilities of the role, for the fifth time in a row, the Mayoral election failed to entice more than half of London's electorate to turn out to vote.
This may change on the sixth attempt. In 2020, the London Mayoral (and Assembly) elections are due to coincide with the 2020 General Election meaning it will likely piggy-back off the higher voter turnouts that come with Parliamentary elections and finally shatter the ceiling of democratic disengagement.
Despite this, a report released this week by the London Assembly Election Review Panel has found that as many as 32,000 people's votes were rejected due to them voting for too many candidates as their first choice. The report says that it indicates that there may be "confusion about the supplementary vote system" used to elect the Mayor of London. It wouldn't be the first time. In 2004, half a million votes in London were deemed to have been spoilt due to "multi-vote confusion."
The London Assembly report includes a number of recommendations such as introducing 'incident log books' at polling stations, greater guidance for voters, and to potentially moving and creating an additional election day for the London Mayoral and Assembly in October, in order to avoid the clash.
The London Mayoral election and the UK General Election are due to coincide for the first time in 2020.
In September, the Electoral Commission raised similar concerns about the capital's clash of elections in 2020 highlighting that voters will be faced with "four different ballot papers and three voting systems." The Commission recommended that the Government should consider "the complexity of the combined polls" carefully before 2020.
The blunt reality however is that these are analogue solutions for archaic problems. London, the entrepreneurial and forward-thinking city that it is, should be thinking outside of the 20th century bubble and towards the future. Were any private sector organisation faced with a similar issue of human error and an administrative burden, they would look towards innovative and technological solutions. So why doesn't London?
Online voting is what the capital's election administrators should be looking into.
Aside from missing the financial savings that would be gained for the tax-payer by holding the election on the same day as the Parliamentary one, this move would ultimately lead to yet another Mayoral election where over half the city fails to show up to the ballot box.
I question the point of delaying the Mayoral election to a date where significantly less people are likely to show up simply to avoid tens of thousands accidentally spoiling their votes. Instead, by aligning the vote with the General Election we would likely see hundreds of thousands, if not a million, more Londoners turn out to vote.
The question therefore should be 'how do we do obtain the best of both worlds?' and the real issue to be tackled is the current lack of legitimacy the Mayor and Assembly have as a result of the consistently poor levels of democratic engagement.
With all of the new challenges online voting presents, it would equally open up a whole realm of opportunity. Opportunity to resign issues like 'accidentally spoilt ballots' to the dustbin, and opportunity to enable a more accessible method of voting for Londoners with disabilities and vision-impairments, as well as the city's youth and long-hour workers.
And you don't need to take my word for it. Two more prominent London-dwellers than I backed the campaign for online voting. Their names? Zac Goldsmith and Sadiq Khan.
Following a WebRoots Democracy/YouGov poll published last year which showed 59% of Londoners in favour of implementing online voting for Mayoral elections, both Sadiq Khan and Zac Goldsmith publicly backed the campaign.
At the time, Khan said "it's high time we introduce online voting" and that "done properly so that we're sure its affordable and secure, it could play a big role in more people having a say in who runs the country."
Previously, during his time as Shadow Justice Secretary, Khan wrote that "if we are serious about raising turnout at elections and getting more people involved in the way our country is run, then we need to do all we can to drag our democracy into the 21st century."
On top of that, both candidates were successfully elected by their respective parties using online voting systems. So it is highly possible that the political will would be there, should we take that tentative step towards what some label as an 'inevitable' future.
Will we accept this inevitable modernisation though and begin working on it? Or will we instead choose to continue down the path towards inevitable democratic dysfunction?

« GOD'S SALVATION PLAN
HEAVEN or HELL »
Greek-Scholar Dr. Julius Mantey … His Letter To The Watchtower
The Letter of Dr. Julius Mantey to the Watchtower Bible & Tract Society
In Response to a Letter from the WTB&TS to CARIS
On the Use of the Dana Mantey Greek Grammar
I have a copy of your letter addressed to Caris in Santa Ana, California, and I am writing to express my disagreement with statements made in that letter, as well as in quotations you have made from the Dana-Mantey Greek Grammar.
(1) Your statement: "their work allows for the rendering found in the Kingdom Interlinear Translation of the Greek Scriptures at John 1:1." There is no statement in our grammar that was ever meant to imply that "a god" was a permissible translation in John 1:1.
A. We had no "rule" to argue in support of the trinity.
B. Neither did we state that we did have such intention. We were simply delineating the facts inherent in Biblical language.
C. You quotation from p. 148 (3) was a paragraph under the heading: "With the subject in a Copulative Sentence." Two examples occur here to illustrate that "the article points out the subject in these examples." But we made no statement in this paragraph about the predicate except that, "as it stands the other persons of the trinity may be implied ;in theos." And isn't that the opposite of what your translation "a god" infers? You quoted me out of context. On pages 139 and 140 (VI) in our grammar we stated: "without the article, theos signifies divine essence…'theos en ho logos' emphasizes Christ's participation in the essence of the divine nature." Our interpretation is in agreement with that in NEB and TED: "What God was, the Word was"; and with that of Barclay: "The nature of the Word was the same as the nature of God," which you quoted in you letter to Caris.
(2) Since Colwell's and Harner's article in JBL, especially that of Harner, it is neither scholarly nor reasonable to translate John 1:1 "The Word was a god." Word-order has made obsolete and incorrect such a rendering.
(3) Your quotation of Colwell's rule is inadequate because it quotes only a part of his findings. You did not quote this strong assertion: "A predicate nominative which precedes the verb cannot be translated as an indefinite or a 'qualitative' noun solely because of the absence of the article."
(4) Prof. Harner, Vol 92:1 in JBL, has gone beyond Colwell's research and has discovered that anarthrous predicate nouns preceding the verb function primarily to express the nature or character of the subject. He found this true in 53 passages in the Gospel of John and 8 in the Gospel of Mark. Both scholars wrote that when indefiniteness was intended that gospel writers regularly placed the predicate noun after the verb, and both Colwell and Harner have stated that theos in John 1:1 is not indefinite and should not be translated "a god." Watchtower writers appear to be the only ones advocating such a translation now. The evidence appears to be 99% against them.
(5) Your statement in your letter that the sacred text itself should guide one and "not just someone's rule book." We agree with you. But our study proves that Jehovah's Witnesses do the opposite of that whenever the "sacred text" differs with their heretical beliefs. For example the translation of kolasis as cutting off when punishment is the only meaning cited in the lexicons for it. The mistranslation of ego eimi as "I have been" in John 8:58, the addition of "for all time" in Heb. 9:27 when nothing in the Greek New Testament support is. The attempt to belittle Christ by mistranslating arche tes kriseos "beginning of the creation" when he is magnified as the "creator of all things" (John 1:2) and as "equal with God" (Phil. 2:6) before he humbled himself and lived a human body on earth. Your quotation of "The father is greater than I am, (John 14:28) to prove that Jesus was not equal to God overlooks the fact stated in Phil 2:6-8. When Jesus said that he was still in his voluntary state of humiliation. That state ended when he ascended to heaven. Why the attempt to deliberately deceive people by mispunctuation by placing a comma after "today" in Luke 23:43 when in the Greek, Latin, German and all English translations except yours, even in the Greek in your KIT, the comma occurs after lego (I say) – "Today you will be with me in Paradise." 2 Cor 5:8, "to be out of the body and at home with the Lord."
These passages teach that the redeemed go immediately to heaven after death, which does not agree with your teachings that death ends all life until the resurrection. (Ps. 23:6 and Heb 1:10)
The above are only a few examples of Watchtower mistranslations and perversions of God's Word.
In view of the preceding facts, especially because you have been quoting me out of context, I herewith request you not to quote the Manual Grammar of the Greek New Testament again, which you have been doing for 24 years. Also that you not quote it or me in any of your publications from this time on.
Also that you publicly and immediately apologize in the Watchtower magazine, since my words had no relevance to the absence of the article before theos in John 1:1. And please write to Caris and state that you misused and misquoted my "rule."
On the page before the Preface in the grammar are these words: "All rights reserved – no part of this book may be reproduced in any form without permission in writing from the publisher."
If you have such permission, please send me a photo-copy of it.
If you do not heed these requests you will suffer the consequences.
Regretfully yours,
Julius R. Mantey

QUINTANILLA, Luís de, friar and Capuchin missionary. A native of Castille, Spain, Quintanilla arrived in Louisiana on July 19, 1772 with Fray Cirilo de Barcelona (q.v.), who had been sent to replace the French Capuchins. Quintanilla's colonial career, which spanned nearly three full decades, was marked by a constant turbulence of his own making. A zealot in his efforts to stamp out vice, immorality, and impiety—and imperious in his disdain for secular authority—he first waged (and lost) a nine-year campaign to reform the outpost of Natchitoches. After a far briefer but equally disastrous stint at Pointe Coupée, he was brought back to the colonial capital, where he was relegated to various administrative, subsidiary, or temporary posts. Although the crown required individual Capuchins to serve only ten years in colonial missions, Quintanilla's Louisiana superiors refused to release him—despite pleas from both him and his flocks. In a colony plagued by too many far-flung settlements and too few priests, his poor rapport with the predominantly French population—attributable to his "tedious, disagreeable, and interminable sermons and his atrocious rendition of French idioms"—and his flagrant, public disrespect for even the governor himself were irritants the church had no choice but to accept. Quintanilla's service record can be reconstructed from payrolls, parish registers, and various notarial records: Natchitoches, which he abandoned in a fit of pique, June, 1775-March, 1777; Natchitoches, to which he was ordered to return, and where the post commandant was charged to "treat him well and protect him as much as possible in order that he may remain willingly," August, 1777-February, 1783; New Orleans(?), 1783-86; Pointe Coupée, from which he was removed for the "ridicule excited by his sermons," 1786-1790; New Orleans, assistant pastor, March 1791-1800; subsidiary service as collector and auditor, January 1791-July 1795; and chaplain to the Ursuline nuns, March 1791-ca. August 1795. One strikingly aberrant document deserves note: after temporary service at St. Gabriel, Quintanilla was replaced in January 1795, at which time a new commandant marked his removal with the enigmatic comment, "The people here are sad and cried at his departure because he was well loved." Last on record at New Orleans in 1800, Quintanilla's pay records note his death on February 1, 1801. E.S.M.

Suez Plans To Triple Size Of Water Treatment Facility At Lake DeForest
Business Development Real Estate
Water Company Hopes To Upgrade Outdated Infrastructure
By Tina Traster
Suez Water NY Inc., the county's principal water provider, is hoping to triple the size of its Lake DeForest Water Treatment facility at the junction Old Mill and Strawtown Roads in West Nyack to improve water quality.
The proposal, which will be presented to the Clarkstown Town Planning Board on March 3 at 7:30 pm, is seeking preliminary site plan approval to upgrade its existing 22,785-square-foot water treatment plant with an expansion that includes a new transfer pump station, two above-ground storage tanks, and a raft of water treatment equipment. Each storage tank will have a capacity of 1.1 million gallons.
Suez seeks to upgrade aging infrastructure at the water treatment plant to address water quality challenges. Raw water quality has been affected by road salt, fertilizers, and other contaminants. SUEZ has achieved some success in addressing these water quality issues with temporary solutions, including use of copper-based lake treatment chemicals.
In recent years, the water treatment plant, originally built in the 1960s, has been facing stricter water criteria and the company has responded by adding regulated chemicals. While the water treatment plant continues to meet regulated limits, the company says a permanent solution is necessary.
The 20 million gallon per day (mgd) water treatment plant, along with 61 groundwater wells, serves a population of approximately 300,000 in Rockland County.
The original water treatment plant was constructed with 48-inch/30-inch raw water main from the intake building to the existing aerator. In the 1970s, new raw water pumps, chemical additions, filter equipment and two new high service pumps were added. In the 1990s, a raw water pump was added to the site. Construction of a dissolved air floatation pre-treatment process to replace the aerator and convention flocculation/sedimentation process were completed in the mid-2000s. A supplemental standby power generation was added in the late 2000s.
The planned upgrades would take place in two phases with overall capacity (20 million gallons per day) remaining unchanged.
Key upgrades under Phase I include raw water pump replacement, static mixer replacement with rapid mixing system, addition of pre-oxidation contact basins and treatment systems, underdrain replacement, and automation of the desludging system for the existing Dissolved Air Floatation Process, according to the proposal.
Upgrades under Phase II, which include the construction of a 42,000 square foot building, primarily focus on establishing an effective PFAS (perfluoroalkyl substances) treatment system because New York State has recently enacted and adopted a maximum contamination level for PFAS. The PFAS building will be located to the north of the existing water treatment plant and will consist of 14 sets of 12-foot diameter vessels used to absorb the contaminants.
PFAS have been used for decades in the manufacturing of firefighting foam, paints, cleaners, adhesives, non-stick surfaces and cosmetics. According to Suez, the substances are prevalent in food, air and water, adding the Environmental Protection Agency says most people have been exposed to the chemicals.
The Rockland Water Coalition, made up of more than 30 health and environmental groups that helped stop Suez's proposal for a desalination plant in 2014, says there is reason to worry about PFAS, as there are more than 5,000 toxic chemicals in the PFAS family and that there is no known safe level of PFAS.

My high school choir teacher once asked me when I'm finally going to do something with my voice. This is what I'm doing with it.
Commoners Represent
I just booked some travel arrangements for another wedding – with the muted flicker of ongoing TV commentary about the other day's royal wedding in the background. I've never been able to get impressed with monarchies – in early elementary school, even King Friday and Queen Sara on Mister Rogers' Neighborhood seemed nuts. Could there be a group of more pretentiously purposeless people?
The only thing I find interesting about any of this week's festivities is the family that's marrying into the mayhem. William's wife and in-laws are the non-traditional types who have the potential to serve up some seriously stirring scenes – there'll be no run-of-the-mill marital infidelities or DUIs with this middle-class consortium. Kate the Great (who refused to utter the word "obey" during her vows) has what it takes to go out and get a job during her reign, or publicly call out the queen during a state dinner after a few too many glasses of sherry. From what I've heard and read so far, she's the best thing to ever happen to that heinous palace (which once canceled its "Changing of the Guard" ceremony the morning I showed up ready for it). In addition to the crazy cokehead uncle, Pippa - the provocative, party-planning younger sister - wore a white dress to a wedding that was not her own, which is something even I've never had the nerve to do. With so public of a move like that, she might now be responsible for single-handedly bringing down an out-of-date taboo that should never have been established.
A couple of months ago, Newsweek ran an article about young American women who have all but put their lives on hold to cross the pond and borderline stalk Prince Harry in the hopes of becoming the next princess bride. At first, I thought it was a joke (Newsweek has gone downhill recently) – but it was for real. Fascination with the ways of the leisure class - and the fantasy of breaking into it - is a timeless diversion that's clung to like a flotation device.

I was hoping you would select this topic this week, as I have been obsessed by "the hats" for the last few days. I'm afraid my take on this wedding is a lot more frivolous than yours. My husband and I even had a "Royal Brunch" at 4:00 a.m., complete with New Yorkers' bagels, cream cheese, and lox. (I was a little annoyed with my husband because he got "reduced fat" cream cheese. Horrible stuff and a serious breach of royal etiquette.)
My first encounter with the televised British royals took place in 1953 when I was in grade school. School was dismissed (hard to believe, I know) so that students could stay home to see the historic coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. I was only eight years old (third grade), but I stayed glued to that television like you wouldn't believe. I slurped up every moment. I was totally drawn into the ancient pageantry set in a modern world. And to see a woman crowned! That meant a lot to me as a young girl. It was inspiring. I was acutely conscious of history in the making. Also, I had read a book by Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret's nanny called "The Little Princesses," so I had a very real concept of how they had grown up. That book made me very aware that the royals have a very restricted, and to me, uncomfortable way of life. I never wanted to be a princess because I could see the cost even at that tender age.
The next televised event in my life that involved royalty--although not British--was the wedding of Grace Kelly to Prince Ranier of Monaco. I was ten years old and now it was my fifth grade. It was beautiful, but it couldn't compare with a British coronation. I mean, a coronation is SERIOUS.
Now I have to fast-forward to 1981: the wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer. Now that wedding was all about the dress. Major souffle. However, I think we all knew that it wouldn't work out when, at the engagement announcement, a reporter asked the Prince about being in love. The Prince replied in the affirmative, but added, with a pathetic little chuckle, "whatever love is." You could just see poor Diana's face freeze. I will never like Prince Charles and I will never warm up to Camilla the Rotweiler.
Now we have 2011, and the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton. I was very pleased with the whole thing. I know they spent a lot of millions on it (much of that was on security) but it was still appropriately toned down and streamlined, befitting a new era. The dress was beautiful and rather tailored, which worked well for the bride. But THE HATS. Those British women, ya gotta love 'em. Only very self-confident people could get away with wearing those hats. They were by Philip Treacy, who has a shop in London, and who is the darling of the royal set. I spent a quality half-hour with his website after the wedding. As soon as I win the Lottery I'm going to hop across the pond and buy a Philip Treacy hat, but a more toned-down one. At my age I can't get away with the reindeer antler hat worn by Fergie's daughter, Princess Beatrice (or was it Princess Eugenie? I get them mixed up.)
I have a feeling that my next royal occasion will be the coronation of Prince Charles, as much as I wish the coronation would be of Prince William.
Overall, I'm very glad I'm not a Brit. It's more fun being an American and watching the strange customs from afar.
I forgot! I left out a wedding! The wedding of Prince Charles and Camilla, which was also televised. That's when the American public first saw "the hats" and there was much startled comment, as we had seen nothing like this before. Besides the hats, the other noticeable thing (to me) about that wedding was that Queen Elizabeth went to great lengths not to be photographed standing next to Camilla. After the ceremony, the photographer tried to do a little foursome photo of the Queen and her husband, and Charles and Camilla. Elizabeth switched away from Camilla and made her husband Prince Philip stand next to Camilla instead. In fact, at first she tried to avoid the photo altogether by obviously lingering a few steps behind Camilla and hoping that Camilla would just continue walking, but eventually she saw there was no escape.
Another amusing concerned the wedding ceremony itself. In the Anglican service (we say the Episcopal church in the U.S.) there is a general confession recited by all present, asking for forgiveness of our sins. So...Charles and Camilla recited the general confession, but the camera was on them, so it looked like there was some sort of special and embarrassing emphasis in what they were saying. Later an American commentator announced on television here that in the Anglican church divorced people had to confess their sins in public in the ceremony in order to be remarried in a church! I really howled at that one! That reporter had not done her due diligence.

Although I didn't have any interest in watching the Royal Wedding, as soon as I turned on the tv, it was captivating. It really looked like a "fairy tale" wedding. I always liked and admired Princess Diana, hopefully this marriage into the family will be better for Kate than for her. I was disappointed that Sarah Ferguson was not invited to the wedding. (actually she was asked to "disappear" by the Royal Family).. Also, everyone keeps referring to Kate as a "commoner" but she comes from an enormously wealthy family. That's not exactly a "commoner" where I come from..

Every Silver Lining....


Do not kid yourself, people can see if you are giving 100%.
One never knows what opportunities may be available at your current workplace.
A promotion or dream job may open up while you are there, but you can forget it—management will not give you a second chance to redeem yourself; once you burn that bridge your chances are gone.
People often remark "it is a small world" and there is truth to that. Your current boss may golf with the boss at the place you apply. Do you think you will get the job—no.
You can tell yourself that the job is no big deal and that you will do better when you get a job you like. That is not reality. Reality is that every time you under perform you are slowly resetting your own work habits or ethics. Before you know it your 100% will change to your 80% and your 80% will be a mere 60% of your true potential. Your productivity will spiral down to below average even when you feel that you are giving 110%!
Switching from 80% to 110% will be harder than you think. After performing at 80% to get to the 110% level, or even the 100% level, (if you can at all) may make your dream job harder work than it is worth. Setting a low standard and living down to it sets trends and creates habits that are hard to break.
P.T. Barnum once said that "every crowd has a silver lining" and he felt that it was his job to ensure that when they left he had their silver. Everywhere you work there is a silver lining to be had. Performing at 80% will not get you 80% of the silver, it may well get you none of it.

Country Director, Marie Stopes International Organisation Nigeria (MSION), Effiom Nyong, says 19 per cent of Nigerian youths under 25 years accessed one modern Family Planning (FP) method or the other in 2017.
Effiom said this Abuja on Friday that five per cent of this youth were between 15 and 19 years.
With support from its donor partners DFID, USAID, UNFPA, Chanel Foundation, FP 2020 and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, said the organisation also provided quality contraceptive services in 2017 to 16 per cent of individuals living in extreme poverty in parts of the country, vulnerable women, girls and adolescents.
"Only 24 per cent of women in the country of reproductive age use a modern contraceptive method and 24 per cent will like to use one form of this method but are unable to access them.
"Our efforts and results show the huge demand that exists and the impact that can be achieved with the right approach and resources.
Offiom said that in 2017, the organisation provided 1,356,000 women in the country with high quality contraceptive services, noting that this is the highest number it had ever reached in Nigeria.
He said that the services it provided helped to avert child and maternal deaths, 10,000 unsafe abortion, unintended pregnancies and saved the nation about 12 million pounds.
The country director said that the organisation was committed to supporting the Federal Government achieve the target of increasing contraceptive prevalence rate to 27 per cent by 2020.
