Harris began attending theater as a teen-ager with her sister and a friend. They sketched the actors they saw on stage, sending the drawings to each theater. One sketch caught the eye of actor John Gielgud, who suggested the trio design the costumes for a production of "Romeo and Juliet" he planned to direct. Adopting the name Motley, the three went on to design several productions for Gielgud, including 1932's landmark "Richard of Bordeaux," "The Merchant of Venice" and "Hamlet." Harris also worked on Broadway and in Hollywood, designing an American production of "Romeo and Juliet" starring Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh and working on the sets for the film version of the musical "Oklahoma!" Queen Elizabeth II made Harris a member of the Order of the British Empire in 1975. In 1997, she received a special Olivier award, Britain's equivalent of Broadway's Tony.

'Simplicity is freedom': Grammy Award-winning band Tinariwen to headline at Cat's Cradle
Buy Photos Tinariwen will perform at Cat's Cradle on Sept. 18. Photo courtesy of Marie Planeille.
By Elyse Ribbons
September 17, 2019 | 11:33pm EDT
Ibrahim Ag Alhabib, the founder of the band Tinariwen, witnessed as a child the execution of his father during a Tuareg uprising.
Tinariwen was formed in the Sahara desert of northern Mali and count Robert Plant, Bono, Carlos Santana and Thom Yorke amongst their fans and collaborators.
On Wednesday, Sept. 18, this Grammy Award-winning band will be playing at Cat's Cradle.
"They're so cool to watch, I just love them," said Bill Smith, former chef at Crook's Corner in Chapel Hill and one of the the founders of Cat's Cradle.
Tinariwen received offensive Facebook comments and death threats after The Ramkat put up a social media post for the band's concert on Sept. 17 in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
According to a press release by the band, the music they play "can become like the fire, free, magical and impossible to stuff into a box."
The lyrics of Tinariwen's music span several African dialects including French, Arabic and Tuareg.
"It's hard not to dance in place, know what I mean? You don't dance with somebody, but it's hard to be still, and I don't speak Arabic — a lot of their songs are in Arabic or Tuareg — so it's not the words I'm responding to, it's the rhythm and the vibe," Smith said.
The lyrics of some of Tinariwen songs include descriptions of the Sahara desert. The name of Tinariwen's latest album is Amadjar, which means 'the unknown visitor' in Tamashek, or 'the one who seeks hospitality and who's condemned to an inner exile, within a territory or within himself.'
"Well you should always see something you don't know, that you're unfamiliar with," Smith said. "That's a rule of life, you should always check out new music."
Minna Banawan, a senior double majoring in psychology and English, said she hasn't even listened to Tinariwen's music yet, but is planning on going to the show.
"West African music is kind of where (the Blues) evolved from, and I don't mind the Blues," Banawan said. "I just like finding new artists and going to new shows. I try to go to shows I haven't heard of before at least once a year."
Tinariwen's music is played on pop radio stations in Europe and Africa, and that caused them to be targeted by Islamic extremists in Mali.
"We don't have a mission," said Eyadou Ag Leche, guitarist and vocalist for Tinariwen. "We are a Tuareg musical band from the Sahara. Our lyrics talk about the Tuareg issue since the Independence of Mali and about our lives and traditions, but also about love and nostalgia of the old days when the borders in the Sahara were not existing."
While Eyadou Ag Leche said that the band hasn't heard of the song, "Carolina In My Mind," they are very much looking forward to sharing their music with UNC students.
"This is always a good experience to discover music from other countries, other cultures," said Leche. "We hope that the UNC students will enjoy the show."
Tinariwen's lyrics include themes of self-reliance, community, and minimalism.
"Simplicity is freedom," Leche said.

The Killdeer, written by Taylor Broadley with original music by The Cinnamon Line, is a new musical presented by Murdoch Theatre Company. With an interesting, original concept, this musical is sure to hook you and leave you thinking thoughts you hadn't bothered to before.
The high caliber of performers was definitely a highlight of this show. With the main cast and chorus being extremely talented, there was no shortage of musical numbers that were genuinely enjoyable. The choreography and stage direction was also extremely impressive, with the cast seamlessly moving around the set and using the stage to effectively convey the story. Some highlights included solo pieces by Elliot, played by Harley Dasey, as well as a very impressive rap solo by Amy, played by Tashlin Church. Tannah Pridmore's representation as River is also to be commended. Almost a year's worth of rehearsals definitely paid off, with hardly any noticeable faults throughout the show.
However, some details such as a low quality sound engineering took away from the performance. At no fault of the performers, there were times at which singers could not be heard due to the orchestra being too loud or their microphones not working. This was the one thing that clearly needed improvement.
Otherwise, The Killdeer is hands down worth a watch. Without giving anything away, the story is different to what you'd expect and definitely worth your time. Get your tickets before the show's run ends!

Glasgow: Police helicopter crashes into The Clutha pub killing 8 people
A police helicopter crashed into a busy pub in Glasgow city centre killing at least eight people.
Three people inside the helicopter and five people inside The Clutha pub were killed after the Police Scotland aircraft came down at 22:30 on Friday.
Other 14 people are being treated for "very serious injuries" in hospitals across the city.
A major investigation is under way and the Air Accidents Investigations Branch will conduct an inquiry into the crash.
Dr. Jennifer Armstrong, medical director at NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, said that of the 32 people taken to local hospitals after the crash, 18 had now been treated and discharged.
She confirmed that 14 people were still being treated for serious injuries.
"The main injuries we have seen include chest injuries, head injuries, long-bone fractures and lacerations," she said.
It is thought that about 120 people were in the pub at the time of the crash.
Many were rescued or escaped but others were trapped by a collapse on the left-hand side of the building.
Three people inside the helicopter and five people inside The Clutha pub were killed after the Police Scotland aircraft came down
The three occupants of the helicopter who died were two police officers and a civilian pilot.
A significant number of personnel from Police Scotland, The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service and Scottish Ambulance Service are still at the scene.
Police Scotland Chief Constable Sir Stephen House told a news conference on Saturday afternoon that they would remain there for some time.
Chief Constable House said the operation would go on "for many days yet".
He paid tribute to the emergency service personnel who were working at the scene and the people of Glasgow who disregarded their own personal safety to help survivors in the aftermath of the crash.
Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon told the same news conference that the increased death toll from the crash was "news that everybody today has been both dreading and expecting".
Scotland's First Minister Alex Salmond earlier described it as a "black day for Scotland."
UK's PM David Cameron paid tribute to the bravery of the "ordinary Glaswegians" who rushed to help.
Queen Elizabeth II has said her thoughts and prayers are with the victims of crash.
The Police Scotland helicopter which crashed was a twin-engine Eurocopter EC135 T2.
In a statement, Eurocopter said its experts were "on standby to support the investigation in every way possible".
"An accident investigation team from Eurocopter is on its way to Scotland to assist the UK Air Accident Investigation Branch and the BFU (German AAIB) in its efforts to investigate the cause of the accident," the statement said.
Helicopter operator Bond Air Services said it was working with the police and emergency services.

Album Review of Bear Creek by Brandi Carlile.
Home » Pop/Rock » Bear Creek
Release Date: Jun 5, 2012
Record label: Columbia
Genre(s): Pop/Rock, Adult Alternative Pop/Rock, Alternative/Indie Rock, Contemporary Singer/Songwriter, Alternative Singer/Songwriter, Alternative Country-Rock
Buy Bear Creek from Amazon
Bear Creek - Very Good, Based on 3 Critics
It takes a particular kind of musical craftsman to be able to work within the confines of the country/pop/rock genre whilst simultaneously tweaking each new album to sound stylistically different without betraying the "rules" of the genre. Brandi Carlile has managed this sometimes impossibly difficult feat with her previous three efforts, even though her last, Give Up the Ghost, was just too dark and thick with hard-edged amelodic tendencies to really get behind. Her latest, Bear Creek is a light hearted auditory experience loaded with heavy content.
Named in honor of the converted turn-of-the-century Washington barn where it was recorded, Brandi Carlile's fourth studio outing, the rough and tumble, sweet and soulful Bear Creek, is as fiery as it is bucolic. Carlile's wonderfully expressive voice is as tailor-made for country as it is for roots rock, and the 13 cuts on Bear Creek lean heavily on the former, striking a nice balance between the nuanced twang of Alison Krauss and the bluesy cockiness of Bonnie Raitt, especially on the spirited, boot-stomping opener "Hard Way Home," the sweet and steady "Keep Your Heart Young," and the gospel-kissed howler "Raise Hell. " The notion of diminishing youth (Carlile turned 30 during the making of the album) plays a pivotal role on Bear Creek, and contributes to some of its finest moments.
Exclaim
Their review was positive
Washington State native Brandi Carlile has released five studio albums, a smattering of EPs, named her horse after her first guitar (it was a Sovereign) and spent time in her teen years as a backup singer for an Elvis impersonator. She's a woman obsessed with music and it shows in her practiced guitar picking ("Save Part of Yourself"), preternaturally strong voice ("Raise Hell") and the perfectly pop-folksy music style she carves out on her latest album, Bear Creek. Taken as a whole, Bear Creek is a meditation on sucking the marrow out of life.

Wang Sorenson
From Substitute Holidays
Revision as of 17:53, 1 February 2018 by Admin (Talk | contribs)
Artist sketch of Wang Sorenson performing the Miracle of His Lost Shoes.
1 Birth
3 Murder of his parents
5 Miracles & great deeds
Wang Sorenson was born of a Chinese noble, Wang Hop and a Swedish princess, Ingemodh Sorenson. His birth was hailed a miracle by people all over Polynesia, as his mother had been rendered infertile by the Great European Earwig Infestation of 693. Wang was born sometime between 699 and 670, depending on which sea shanty is describing his deeds. His birth, known as Wangzaah, is celebrated the world over by Wangite followers.
Wang's parents experienced their second cultural clash when it was time to name their newborn son. Both wanted his name to represent his noble heritage. Eventually, Wang Fu, the grandfather of Wang Sorenson, declared that the debate was tiresome and to just "give the kid two last names." Wang's parents settled on Wang Sorenson, the family name from each parent.
There is little known about Wang's early life. In the only surviving piece of correspondence between his mother and his aunt, Olafine Bjornsen, his mother described him thus:
"A good boy. Does what he's told and smiles all the time. We're thinking of getting a dog so he'll learn the value of responsibility."
Murder of his parents
When Wang was only 12(ish) years old, his parents were murdered in front of him in a dark Polynesian alley. Wang vowed to solve their murder and took to the seas, to put right what once went wrong and hoping each time, that his next port of sail will be the port home. He became known as the shanty-singing pirate of Tuvalu, ritually raiding ships on the high seas. He never stole from the ships or killed any crew or passengers; his only demand was to swap sea shanties to further his vast musical library and to bring entertainment to weary travelers. He searched high and low for the man who murdered his parents, but was never able to solve the case.
Wang believed earnestly in loving one's fellow man and brought this teaching to everyone he met. He was an amiable man who loved jokes, sea shanties, and believed laughter was the way to salvation. Despite having seen the face of evil, Wang believed every person deserved a second chance. Due to this belief, he was often at odds with local governments as he was often caught breaking orphans and elderly debtors out of prison. He was also fond of the full pleasures available in life and did not shy away from food, drink, sex, and dirty jokes. Wang believed sexual pleasure was God's gift to humanity, if God indeed did exist and grace humanity with the gift of pleasure centers in our brains. Due to this, Wangite monks and nuns do not abstain from sex and are in fact, encouraged to have sexual relationships in whatever way they feel most comfortable. However, if a Wangite nun or monk wants to abstain, that's okay too.
Miracles & great deeds
During his 33 and 1/3 years on this earth, he performed many miracles and great deeds. In the summer of 711, he brought moisture to a parched South African village's crops, using just his body and six kegs of ale he had in his ship's hold. While he was temporarily imprisoned for unpaid docking tickets, he earned the gratitude of the entire Roman fleet by teaching them advanced rigging techniques using only a length of rope and his trusty rod. When he was traveling through Russia, he cured a homeless woman of her blindness, by cutting her bangs. He also gave her a snazzy perm even though he had never given perms before.
His last recorded miracle was in Boobyalla, Tasmania, where he brought fortune to a crumbling city by teaching the inhabitants essential marketing skills, enabling them to sell their peanut crops for a hefty profit. Because of this miracle, his execution was ordered and carried out by the Elephant Mafia.
Wang was murdered by the Elephant Mafia after he performed the Peanut Miracle at Boobyalla. According to the testament of his friends, he knew it was coming and spent the night before getting blistering drunk, loudly singing every obscene sea shanty he could think of, replacing every instance of "balls" with "elephants." In the morning, he stumbled into the town square and defiantly threw peanut shells onto the ground. An hour later, the hit was carried out and Wang Sorenson was crushed under the feet of a hit-elephant.
Some attempts have been made by certain sects of Wang followers to bring celebration of his death into the mainstream, but most Wangites dismiss such activities as "too depressing" and "not in keeping with the spirit of Wang." Those that celebrate Wang's death (called The Great Stomping) do so by beating an elephant-shaped pinata while loudly yelling "elephant balls!" until it breaks open, spilling peanuts and peanut candies.

Agents of SHIELD: Turn, Turn, Turn Review
Mike Duke
So here it is: the first of the final six episodes of Agents of SHIELD season 1, and the first episode after the Marvel Cinematic Universe was rocked by events in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. SHIELD is in total chaos, everyone is turning against everyone and no one knows who to trust. But out of this civil war comes something even more amazing than the uncanny cross-over from film to TV: Agents of SHIELD suddenly feels whole. The show has always been building to this fight, and now that it's here, it feels like the pieces are finally slipping into place.
Knowing what I know about Captain America: The Winter Soldier and how is was supposed to effect Agents of SHIELD, I couldn't help but give a hearty laugh when Don't Fear the Reaper began playing over the fade in. From that moment on, however, we are in the thick of it. Agent Garrett is almost shot down by two SHIELD drones, at which point he contacts Coulson to find out what the heck is going on. Back on the bus, things are just as we left them last week–with everyone yelling and pointing guns at each other. We find out that May was using her encrypted call line to talk to Director Fury himself to report on Coulson's condition. Meanwhile, Skye has figured out that there is an encrypted signal repeating on all SHIELD communication frequencies, and it's a call to arms. I'm not going to say to whom the call goes out, but we will just say that a secret organization has infiltrated SHIELD. Coulson tries to get May to use her special phone to call Fury so that he can talk to the man with the plan, but they find out that Fury is dead. If you have seen Captain America 2, you now have a point of reference to synch up this episode with the movie. While all of this is happening, Simmons is still at the Hub, with only Agent Triplett to keep her safe. And, of course, because of everything that's going on, we just don't know who to trust.
There is a reason why this episode is called Turn, Turn, Turn. The rest of the episode is pretty much just one twist after another as the team try to rescue Simmons, infiltrate SHIELD, and take down the bad guys. I can't say much else without spilling the beans, but I have to say that this might have been my favorite episode of Agents of SHIELD so far. The tension that they created–almost literally casting every character into suspicion at some point or another–was exciting and also a little terrifying. I myself had several theories about how the plot would unfold and who the traitors would be, and while I wasn't entirely wrong, I was pretty far from right. And yet, at the same time, the twists and reveals didn't seem out of the blue or out of character. It all played out in a very satisfying way.
By the end of the episode, Agent Hand makes a comment that synchs the episode back to Captain America 2, so that you realize that all of the events in Agents of SHIELD took place over the same timeline as the movie. I loved this, because it got everything out of the way quickly and efficiently, and now we have five more episodes of nothing but aftermath and fallout. Next week looks like it will deal a lot with the final twist of this episode, which wasn't necessarily unexpected, but also may not be a real thing. We could be in for a double double bluff there. But, only time will tell.
Watch it. This is what the whole season of Agents of SHIELD has been leading to, and it's all finally starting to make sense. There are things mentioned this week that happened in the second episode of the show, and I felt myself having a bit of an "Ah ha!" moment as I realized that not only has SHIELD been connected to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but to itself all this time. This week's show might be the last good jumping on point until the season is over, so, if you haven't yet, jump in already. You might actually have some fun.

Yesterday was an awesome day, Mike and I traveled up to Columbus, Ohio to attend Cartoon Crossroads Columbus (CXC) 2017. CXC has been around for three years, and for two of those three I lived in Rhode Island and wasn't able to easily attend. Hearing nothing but great things about the show, it has been on my convention bucket-list since reviews started pouring in to me in 2015. I was not diappointed.
For those who are not aware, CxC is a four day event heald in Columbus, Ohio on both the campus of (the) Ohio State Univeristy and at local attractions across the city. At first it sounds daunghting, travelig across the city to attend the different events, but it really isn't. Thursday and Friday events are all located on OSU's campus and the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library and Museum (someplace else I hope to travel to soon) and Hale Hall. The events on Thursday and Friday are mostly exhibits, professional presentations, and SOL-Con workshops. SOL-Con is a Brown and Black comics expo that run simuntaniously with CxC and celebrates the works of African American and Latino comic creators and writers.
Saturday and Sunday sees what most people think of with an indie comics convention, a huge artist alley!
The artist alley is located in the Columbus Metropolitian Library's main branch building downtown, but there is also an art exhibit at the Columbus Museum of Art, and more exhibits at the Columbus College of Art and Design. Unfortunately our time was limited, so we were only able to attend the artist alley at the library. Mike and I spent three hours walking around the the tables and talking to local and visiting artists. Ran into a new favorite artist of mine, Natalie Andrewson, who I first met at the Rhode Island Independent Publishing Expo last year (that was a good expo as well, but it seems they didn't hold it this year?) Anyway, I love Andrewson's method of basically screenprinting her illustrations through layers of color, and have multiple illustratiosn of hers up in my studio.
I also met a fantastic writer and illustrator duo, Ananya Vahal who writes Lung Girl and Carlos Perez of Prime Vice Studios. Vahal writes Lung Girl and runs the Sid Foundation, which is a non-profit that raises funds and awareness for lung transplant research. Lung Girl is a comic published by the Sid Foundation to help spread awareness of lung transplants in a exciting and new way.
At the show I met illustrator Tim Jackson and his book Pionnering Cartoonists of Color which came out last year. It is a look on the works of African-Amerian cartoonists and comic creators from post Civil War until 1968, and has been a captivating read thus far. It had always bothered me that society had only paid attention to a certain portion of artists throughout history, Pioneering Cartoonists of Color really digs into the stories of those who were largely ignored, but still persisted to have their voices heard. This book comes highly recommended for everyone to read, and should be included as a part of art history programs and at local libraries across the country.
And that was my day at CxC + SOL-Con 2017! Again, this is a wonderful indie and small press conference that people who are into comics should really attend. I've been to many small press expos (SPX, MICE, and SPACE) and find this to be just as large, but have that cozy feel as the others. Here you can enthusically talk at length with artists and share thoughts and ideas without the feeling of being pressured to move onto the next table quickly. Artists who were exhibiting mentioned that CxC has hands-down been one of the best expos they have ever attended, I'd agree with that statement.


We recently had the chance to review WriteShop Junior Book D in our homeschool. I picked Book D because I have a 3rd and 5th grader so I knew they could both join in and they love combining subjects as much as I do! Book D is recommended for 3rd-4th grade and reluctant 5th graders. I recieved the e-book editions to review. This included the Teacher's Guide, Junior Activity Pack which includes 10 Fold-And-Go Grammar Guides, and The Time Saver Pack.
The teacher guide is where you will find explanations and suggested schedules to implement the WriteShop D writing program. It also includes scripted lesson plans for you to use with your child.
The Student Activity Pack is actually like getting two books in one!
I loved the Self-editing Checklist!
Here is an sample brainstorming page.
Here is one of the grammar guides that we made. It called for colored paper but white worked for us.
Another wonderful book was The Time Saver Pack. If you put off playing games in curriculum because they take to much prep work then this book is for you (and me!). I didn't have to worry about making or searching for anything ahead of time because what I needed was all right there. The games are a fun way to make writing exciting and enjoyable.
One of my children's favorite games was in Lesson 1 where you matched the salutation, date, signature, and closing to the body of the letter. You mixed up 3 different letters and tried to put the pieces back together correctly.
As my 8th grader watched the fun that my younger two were having during their writing lessons, he begged to join so I let him. This is where I felt the e-book version fit us best because you can print as many sheets as you need for your family! If you have reluctant writers who just cannot stand to write, WriteShop Junior is a great curriculum to begin with them. It is slow placed and fun and puts writers at ease. Our family will continue using this as our writing curriculum for the rest of the school year.
Here is a break down of the book prices and you can purchase any of these here.
Remember, you only need to purchase these if you purchase the print version of the Activity Pack because the e-book version includes it!
If you make your purchase before June 15, 2012 and use the code CREW15, you can take an additional 15% off any Write Shop Primary or Junior books including e-books!
WriteShop also has other writing products for elementary, and jr/high school. You can also see sample pages of the different books here.
Don't forget to check out what my fellow crewmates thought about WriteShop products .
**Disclaimer: As a member of The Old Schoolhouse Homeschool Crew, I was received a free e-books of each available to review. The opinions here are my honest and true evaluation.


Tobacco Free Futures - Live it or burn it!
Instead of the normal cigarettes that you use, if you use vape juice to create a vaporised content, fill it in a pen and then smoke it, it is called an e-cigarettes, and the process of inhaling and exhaling the vapour is called vaping. This type of smoking is comparatively less riskier than the usual methods of smoking.
With the arrival of the vaping technique, the process of carrying physical cigarettes have drastically gone down. However, vaping is not advisable as well. The sooner you quit, the longer you shall live.
The evolution of tobacco products and the stages of their evolution. Take a look at that below.
Smoking is not a great habit that you can carry for life. It is better if you can gradually bring the habit to a pause.


Moses and Monotheism is a book by Sigmund Freud. It was first published in 1939. In it, Freud argues that Moses was actually an Ancient Egyptian, and in some way related to Akhenaten, an ancient Egyptian monotheist. The book was written in three parts, and was a departure from the rest of Freud's work on psychoanalytic theory. The book does contain discussion of Freud's psychoanalytic thinking, but was intended as a work of history.
In Moses and Monotheism, Freud contradicts the Biblical story of Moses with his own retelling of events claiming that Moses only led his close followers into freedom, and that they subsequently killed Moses in rebellion either to his strong faith or to circumcision. Freud explains that years after the murder of Moses the rebels formed a religion which promoted Moses as the Saviour of the Israelites. Freud said that the guilt from the murder of Moses is inherited through the generations; this guilt then drives the Jews to religion to make them feel better.

A speleothem based on calcite, which changes its axis from the vertical at one or more stages of its growth. Helictites have a curving or angular form that looks like they had grown in zero gravity.
Helictites are composed of calcite, dripstone or flowstone. This clacite is deposited when water looses the ability to keep the limetsone soluted, which in general is because of the loss of carbon dioxide. As water drips from the ceiling and hits the floor, it forms vertical stalactites and stalagmites. When water stand still in a cave lake it forms rims, dams and crusts.
Helictites differ from all those forms of speleothems. They look similar to small stalactites and soda straws, but with a flaw. They are twisted and torn. Some look like horizontal stalactites, some are bent like a corkscrew.
The growth of helictites is still very enigmatic. Until now there is absolutely no theory which really explains how they are formed, just a bunch of hypothesises. The main ideas are wind and capillary forces which both influence the direction of growth. At the moment it looks like there are different helictites formed by different mechanisms or a combination thereof.
The most important mechanism in the forming of helictites are capillary forces. If the helictite has a very thin central tube where the water flows like in straws, capillary forces would be able to transport water ignoring gravity. Normal straws have too thick holes, capillary forces work much better with very narrow cracks or capillars. This theory was inspired by some hollow helictites.
The problem with this theory is, that most helictites are definitely not hollow.
Another theory names the wind in the cave as main reason for the strange look. Drops hanging on a stalactite are blown to one side, so the dripstone grows into this direction. If the wind changes, the direction of growth changes too.
This theory is very problematic, because wind directions change very often. The wind in caves depends on air pressure changes outside, which are depending on the weather (see Wind Cave). So the wind direction changes as often as the weather conditions outside change. But the dripstones grow very slowly, a few centimeters in 100 years. So the direction would change every fragment of a milimetre. To form a corkscrew with a diameter of 10 centimeters the wind has to change its direction almost continually and very slowly for ten thousands of years.
A second problem with this theory is, that many caves with helictites never had a natural entrance, and as a result never had wind. Helictites are often found in remote parts of caves, where no wind at all can be found, but wind strong enough to move water drops is easily detected.
And finally there is the problem that many helictites grow horizontally out of the wall. Where should the wind come from to create this?
The way helictites are really formed is still unknown. This is definitely the most enigmatic and interesting problem in speleology.

Why don't I pack the motorhome and take the 20 mile trek to Julian 3 or 4 times a year instead of once? I always come back in much better shape than when I leave. I have time to sit and listen instead of go, go, go. I have started an inductive study of the book of James. I decided to make my own study sheets which means typing out the whole book. What a blessing just typing the word of God. He spoke to me so powerfully. At the Women's retreat I was doing a devotional that I finished in Julian. I ran across a phrase 4x while doing the devotional about relying on strong horses. I said, "God, what does that mean for me?" The next day I pulled out my day 4 of my Names of God devotional by Kay Arthur. God is amazing-it referred to a verse that had a "relying on strong horses" phrase and Kay goes on to explain what that phrase means-which is relying on ourselves or anything else that isn't God.
I got the top of HSH done and the borders drafted. Been working on it for over a year. I recut and pieced the stars in the middle block and didn't hardly lose a point this time-my skill level has improved exponentially. Now I can start on the swag borders and know what I am doing.
Home Sweet Home middle of quilt-it will have addresses of all our SD residences embroidered around the edge and then beautiful red swags appliqued under the embroidery-it is getting close!
I also took apart the checked borders on Beauty and Check and restitched them. Now that quilt is square. Feels so good to have gotten all that done!
On Monday a special friend left us to continue eternity with Jesus in heaven. No more sorrow, no more bad health days. She was eating popcorn the week before, got dizzy, threw her hands up and her heart stopped. A week later they took out the tube that was keeping her alive and with her family surrounding her, she left us. I will so miss her. She had very little in worldly goods, but she had a heart you could park a semi in. She loved me, prayed for me and made me laugh everytime I talked to her. She was a street person for 30 years until she gave her heart to Jesus. For the last 12 years she shared what He had given her-joy, love, herself. I hugged her a couple of weeks ago and said, "Carole, what would I ever do without you?". I am going to miss her so much. She was only 61-reminded me to keep short accounts, hold Jesus close, make sure I tell those I love how much they mean to me.
Glad to be back home, missed my hubby and our puppy. She turned 1 on the 4th.
Lizzy LOVES frisbee-she will be a good camper.
Welcome back! Glad to hear you are better for the vacation. Most of the time they wear me out. I must be doing something wrong.
HSH is really fabulous. I love the houses and especially those star flowers.
Sorry you lost your friend, sounds like she was a great person.
Wow! What a beautiful post. I am trying to "let go and let God" as well right now. So easy to not see the forest for the trees when we become willful instead of willing to receive God's good.
I love your little mobile workspace. I wish I could trim down the clutter in my studio and make it more efficient. Need to clean out the closets this summer and make a donation to the Humane Society thrift shop. That will free up some room for sewing supplies.

FDA seizes $71k in herbal tea products as campaign of censorship against nutritional supplements continues
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
Editor of NaturalNews.com (See all articles...)

(NewsTarget) The U.S. Food and Drug Administration, continuing its campaign of censorship against truthfully-described herbal supplements, seized $71,000 worth of Charantea herbal supplements last week in a raid involving U.S. Marshals. The company, Fulllife Natural Options, was accused by the FDA of marketing an "unapproved drug" due to the truthful marketing claims that accurately describe the blood sugar lowering effects of the product's main ingredient: Bitter Melon fruits.
According to the Food and Drug Administration, there is no such thing as an herb, food or supplement that has any biological activity whatsoever on the human body (other than simply providing calories), and any person who dares to make such a claim is immediately considered to be in violation of the FDA's authority. Any substance that has any therapeutic effect whatsoever on the human body is considered by the FDA to be a "drug" and must be approved as such -- a lengthy process costing about $800 million and requiring the favor of an agency that practically works for Big Pharma.
The FDA is well known for its censorship efforts against nutritional supplements. Earlier this year, the agency sent threatening letters to 29 cherry growers, warning them to remove all links to scientific literature describing the anti-inflammatory effects of phytonutrients found in cherries. Merely linking to such studies from a web page, the FDA warned, instantly transformed cherries into drugs requiring FDA approval. The FDA believes that the dissemination of scientific information about the health benefits of fruits, vegetables and plants simply cannot be tolerated.
The Food and Drug Administration has a long history of engaging in armed raids against nutritional supplement and herbal companies. Read these articles to learn more:

Censoring truthful health claims of nutritional supplements
While the FDA claims it raided the Charantea company in order to protect consumers from mislabeled products, the truth is that the agency -- which operates a criminal prescription drug racket that should be prosecuted under organized crime laws -- is far more interested in protecting the market for pharmaceuticals. Herbal tea products that effectively lower blood sugar are seen as competition for high-profit diabetes drugs. The most effective way to protect the market for patented pharmaceuticals is to disrupt the business operations of those selling natural alternatives such as herbal teas, and that's exactly why this raid took place.
From a scientific standpoint, there is absolutely no question that drinking bitter melon as a tea (or taking it as a supplement) helps regulate blood sugar. Cinnamon has a similar effect, as do many other herbs. These medicinal plants have been used for thousands of years to support human health. It is only in the last 75 years or so that western medicine has gained power over the industry and surreptitiously declared that all of the medicinal herbs used for thousands of years throughout human history are now suddenly inert or harmful. In today's system of medical oppression, merely telling the truth about your own product that actually works to regulate blood sugar is enough to get your warehouse raided by the highly corrupt FDA -- an agency with such a corrupt history of armed raids against supplement companies that you would think it was operated by the Russian mafia.
From Big Pharma's point of view, there is no question that this FDA tactic is highly successful. By terrorizing fruit growers, herbal tea companies and nutritional supplement manufacturers, the Food and Drug Administration continues to exercise iron-grip control over the printing of any information regarding the true medicinal applications of foods and plants. The FDA's censorship campaign is, by any measure, outrageously successful, and any company that dares to tell the truth about its own products is very much aware that they risk being put out of business by this rogue agency.
Our last defense against medical tyranny: Free Speech
The only reason that I am able to tell you the truth about the FDA is because I sell no nutritional supplements and earn no money from the sale of such supplements. The FDA has no authority over this article. If they did, I would have been imprisoned and censored off the internet years ago. This is part of the reason I continue to refrain from the entering the supplement business: Because it's far more important for me to remain independent and uncensored so that I may continue reporting the truth about how the FDA and Big Pharma are collectively operating as either corporate criminals or domestic terrorist organizations, depending on how much you believe about the real reasons of why they do the things they do.
When will medical tyranny finally be stopped in this "free" country? When will free speech finally become a reality for nutritional supplement manufacturers? It can only happen with radical reforms that end the medical monopoly currently enforced by the Big Pharma / FDA conspiracy. See my book, Natural Health Solutions and the Conspiracy to Keep You From Knowing About Them to learn more: http://www.TruthPublishing.com/NaturalHealth...
Today, it is very clear that we are NOT living in a free society. Freedom of speech is simply not allowed for anyone selling food, herbs or nutritional supplements of any kind. Simply stating obvious truths -- like "vitamin C cures scurvy" or "chocolate makes the brain feel happy" -- is enough to land you in federal prison courtesy of the pharmaceutical thugs running the Fraud and Drug Administration. Today, we live under a system of medical tyranny engineered by the agency that, in an honest world, should be protecting consumers and finding ways to help enhance their health rather than focusing on ways to exploit them for Big Pharma profits.
The FDA has never threatened me to remove a single article I've written about the agency. You know why? Because if any of this went to court, all my evidence against the FDA would become a matter of public record. They'd rather ignore my work and tolerate the relatively small number of people who read this than take this public and risk it going national with a story of how the FDA tried to censor a free speech journalist. As much as NewsTarget has been hugely successful in the natural health industry, it's still barely a blip on the radar for mainstream America. Not even one in a hundred people are aware of this website or the importance of this information, and as long as Big Pharma owns Big Media, it's probably going to stay that way.
Accordingly, consider yourself fortunate to be among the very few people who are aware of what's really going on in our federal government. As Americans, we currently live under a system of medical tyranny. It is a system that insists on continuing disease among the population so that politically influential corporations can profit from disease, generation after generation. All cures are outlawed. Anything that actually works to prevent disease is censored. Medical pioneers who open clinics to cure cancer are arrested or run out of the country. Astonishingly, healing is a crime in these United States, and nutritional therapies that actually work will simply not be tolerated.
Charantea is simply the latest victim in an ongoing war against health-enhancing nutritional supplements being waged by the FDA / Big Pharma gang. Charantea was targeted precisely because their product actually works. While the FDA will openly tolerate useless synthetic vitamins (which are mostly made by pharmaceutical companies anyway), the rogue agency will not tolerate herbal products that actually work to cure cancer, halt diabetes, reverse heart disease or otherwise strip revenues from Big Pharma by eliminating disease.
Personally, I hope you support this company just to spite the FDA. You can learn more about their bitter melon product at www.charanteausa.com
Bitter melon really works to help regulate blood sugar. In my view, it works better than diabetes drugs. Of course, what really works best overall is to stop eating processed foods and sugar, and switch to a raw living foods diet. Diabetes usually disappears within 30 - 60 days, never to return as long as you stay with the raw foods diet. There are many cures for diabetes, but the medical establishment does not want consumers to know about any of them because there's simply far too much profit to be found in the ongoing treatment of "lifetime diabetics."
This, folks, is exactly why the FDA attacks nutritional supplement companies. There's a revenue stream at stake here, and patients must remain diseased in order for Big Pharma to profit from them. Any herbal product that actually works will quickly find itself in the FDA's crosshairs, especially if it is described with honest, accurate language telling consumers the truth about what the product actually does. Garlic halts the growth of cancer tumors, but don't you dare say it on your web page, or the FDA will consider you a criminal and seize your garlic supplements.
If you think this is criminal behavior on the part of the FDA, you are right! The FDA is, indeed, run by unindicted criminals who are currently engaged in heinous crimes against humanity. I can only pray that, in time, these people will be made to answer for their crimes, and that freedom will be returned to the people in the form of a Health Freedom Protection Act that ends the decades of censorship that the FDA has enforced against nutritional supplement companies. The FDA represents an imminent threat to the health and safety of the American people, and its actions are far more dangerous to Americans than all the terrorists in the world. Statistically speaking, even a nuclear bomb going off in a major U.S. city would not equal the number of deaths caused by the FDA in just the last five years. This is an agency that is, without question, an enemy of the American people and a purveyor of death and disease.
Think about this: In a nation where telling the truth is a crime, power belongs to those who enforce the censorship. Read 1984 by George Orwell to see what happens next…

The AP Human Geography Exam consists of two sections. The first section consists of 60 multiple choice questions and the second section consists of 3 free-response questions. The sections are 60 and 75 minutes long, respectively. It is not necessary to answer the free-response questions in essay form; instead, points are awarded on certain keywords, examples, and other vital aspects.

Curriculum and Course Outline
The curriculum consists of informational book-related homework, which often requires students to strive to learn information independently. The curriculum teaches about diffusion, human traits, religion, and population clusters.

The topics covered by the exam are as follows:

Brief History:
Sokkankudiyiruppu used to be a very small village with a lot of Hindus. Amidst them, it is said that a Catholic family of a woman named Maria Kikuthai. A small church was built which was administered by people of the nearby village Kanakkankudiyiruppu. As number of Catholics increased, the present church of Sts. James and Stanislaus church was started in the time of Fr. Nevis Kuschan. After him, Fr. John mancher from Anaikarai took care of the building work, completed it and consecrated it. Manal Matha pilgrimage center is a famous substation of this parish. It used to be a village called Kanakkankudiyiruppu. As priests serving the coastal villages wished to build churches in the interior places as well, a church dedicated to Our Lady Queen of Heaven was built at Kanakkankudiyiruppu. It was buried in sand due to winds and storms. When time came for Our Lady to reveal this church, the cross of the church showed out of the sand. Some shepherds told about this to people of Sokkankudiyiruppu. They dug around the church and began to worship in there. The then Assistant parish priest of Satankulam Fr. Ignatius was asked to take care of this church. He with the help of people, restored the church entirely. Eventually he became the parish priest. Having earned the name "Servant of Our Lady", he served there until his death.
When Thoothukudi diocese proclaimed Sokkankudiyiruppu as a parish, Fr. Soosaimanickam was made the parish priest succeeded by Fr. Mariadas. He built the upper roof and the front steps of the church. Fr. Cruz Antony built the rectory, lodge for the pilgrims and modern water tank at the pilgrim center. Fr. C. Xavier built the rectory at sokkankudiyiruppu and at Manal Matha church a convent with the help of the sons of Mr. Thaveethu. The same benefactors helped Fr. John Bosco to build the lodge named "Ignatius Palace" at the pilgrim center. Fr. Antony Robert constructed grotto for St. George at Sokkankudiyiruppu with donations of the parishioners. Mr. Thaveethu Nadar helped building the vestibule and people of Sokkankudiyiruppu living at Tanjore donated to renovate the stages around the church. Electric connections of the church was modernized. In the time of Fr.Peter Raja new church bell was fashioned and blessed. Wooden altar was replaced by a stone altar.

After studying this unit,students should be able to compute future value of a series of Payments and present value of a series of cash flows. They will also be able to explain and compute different types of compounding.
The investment decisions of a firm are generally known as the capital budgeting, or capital expenditure decisions. A capital budgeting decision may be defined as the firm's decision to invest its current funds most efficiently in the long-term assets in anticipation of an expected flow of benefits over a series of years.
All Investments are risky, as the Investors parts with his money. An efficient Investor with proper training can reduce the risk and maximize return. He can avoid part falls and protect his interests. Companies and Government sell securities, wither for equity Capital or debt capital.
In this chapter, we have analysed project section using NPV and. PI . We have also discussed the problem of multiple IRR in certain unique cash flow situations and its resolution. There are also certain cash flows which cause conflicts in ranking. In all such situation, conflicts are resolved by adopting NPV as the criterion.
Project Management, it can be said, has developed out of the attempts of some sections of mankind to destroy all others and to protect themselves from the on slaughts of the others. It is one of the fields of study that has developed almost entirely through techniques developed by the armies all over the world, particularly in the United States, over several decades.
Every firm should have a strategic plan, if it should succeed in the long run. The strategic plan should be laid out carefully, keeping all variables in view. Once it is done, all subsequent actions of the firm, particularly those relating to allocation of substantial amounts of resources, should conform to the plan.
In this unit, we will study the technical (or engineering) aspects of setting up a project. Starting with who should select the technology and now, we will move on to acquisition of technology, purchasing the materials and equipments, selecting the site and the layout of facilities on the site and finally discuss briefly about pollution and effluent disposal.
Once the commercial as well as the technical feasibility of the project is established, leading to the development of the sales plan, the administration plan and the manufacturing plan, the project has to be assessed with regard to its financial feasibility measured in terms of costs and benefits. The various steps in financial analysis are indicated in the following figure.
Capital Budgeting involves assessing the requirement of incremental outlay, projection possible incremental benefits from such an investment, determining a horizon and finally evaluating the flows in comparison with the outlay. While the figures used in such a framework might appear to be fool-proof, it has to be borne in mind that the data is based mostly on estimations and expectations.
Risk analysis involves identification of parameters of risk, and in attempting to quantify the impact. Specific measures are needed which can tune in capital budgeting results to these changes. While one's estimates and conclusions are only as good as the figures on which these are based, it should be realized that an appraiser will need to work on those areas where the concern is the maximum.

COVID-19 insolvency reforms – a job part done?
The Government has announced that it will be introducing temporary changes to the Companies Act in an effort to see as many businesses survive the economic downturn resulting from COVID-19 as possible. The changes will be welcome news to debtors , however, the news may not be so rosy for creditors, many of whom will also be feeling the pinch of the COVID-19 crisis.
COVID-19 Possible further relief for struggling businesses during the current Covid 19 crisis
The Australian government has announced that it is putting in place temporary measures to prevent businesses and individuals temporarily facing financial distress as a result of COVID-19 from being forced into liquidation. Given New Zealand's insolvency laws are closely aligned with Australia it is likely that in the coming days our Government will follow suit with a similar package.
The impact of COVID-19 on cashflow and solvency
The continuing spread of COVID-19 and government measures in response means an economic downturn with increasing business failures. What should business owners consider in these circumstances?
