A well-balanced life: Sharon Weinstein's long career of service

Sharon Weinstein
Weinstein is grateful for the foundation and stability her family provided, and she has striven to build the same for her own son, now 23. "It's such a gift to see the excitement in children when they accomplish their goals," she said.
Sharon Weinstein, MD '78, knew that she wanted to be a psychiatrist at the age of 10. She read Nancy Drew and The Hardy Boys, but also Scientific American and Freud's books on dreams. She idolized pioneering scientists like Marie Curie, wrote to Jonas Salk, and was thrilled when the discoverer of the first polio vaccine replied. "From early childhood, I have always been interested in how people live their lives," Weinstein said, "learning how they face challenges and overcome adversity to realize their dreams."
Curiosity served her well. The Massachusetts Psychiatric Society recently honored her with the 2018 Award for Outstanding Psychiatrist in Education for her multifaceted teaching and program development in child and adolescent psychiatry.
Weinstein expresses gratitude to those who gave her roots, her family and mentors. Growing up in Hartford, Conn., as the oldest of five, hers was a childhood of stories. "I used to listen to stories about my Jewish grandparents immigrating to the U.S. from Poland to escape pogroms and find freedom," she recalled. "They came here with little, starting with my grandfather having a pushcart, to establishing a grocery store where people would congregate to ask his advice and share their stories. I listened to family stories of courage and resilience, of my dad's bravery at Normandy on D-Day, and about my mom's dedication to her family."
Service and education were woven into the family's culture. "In Europe, my grandmothers were denied educational opportunities," Weinstein said. "We understood what a privilege education was." Her parents ensured their children engaged with a spectrum of subjects, in school as well as at home and in the community. Weinstein thrived with the multidisciplinary concept—it would in fact become a pillar of her professional focus. "I was fascinated by connections between mind, brain, body, and society," she said. "I think that was fostered by a range of life events in a large, multigenerational family."
In many ways, Weinstein is a product of her environment. Her psychiatry practice exists at the intersection of science and art and of the personal and environmental, where culture, spirituality, and medicine meet. These elements were embedded in her heritage and ignited by her coming of age against the backdrop of a shifting world. In the 1960s, Weinstein attended a "large public high school marked by cultural, ethnic, and socioeconomic diversity," and she began college in an era of political upheaval and social change, particularly for women. Some regarded Harvard's introduction of coeducational housing her sophomore year there as an unwelcome break with tradition. Women were gaining admission to medical schools in greater numbers, but at Yale, Weinstein remembers some female classmates being told they were "taking the place that a man could have, that they would have children and stop practicing medicine."
Weinstein challenged biases through evidence-based research—her approach since her first science fair project when she was 12. In college, she disputed the belief that women should not hold key political positions because of "raging hormonal influences" by writing a thesis examining emotions throughout the menstrual cycle. In medical school, her thesis centered on gender differences in depression. "It was an exciting time," she said. "The whole field of gender and female development was being studied, researched, and radically revised to the good."
Weinstein volunteered at pregnancy counseling services in Boston and often accompanied women seeking legal abortions to clinics in New York, sometimes crossing picket lines. "I grew up seeing how important it is for a woman's dignity and self-actualization to have the right to make choices about her own body," she said.
Weinstein also recognized the connections between environment, biology, psychology, and development, and deepened her appreciation of knowing and treating the "whole person" at Yale School of Medicine. "Yale was renowned for excellence and an innovative, far-reaching curriculum, especially in psychiatry," she said. "Outstanding faculty taught us a humanistic, compassionate approach to the doctor-patient relationship."
Weinstein brought the multidisciplinary philosophy to her adult residency and child and adolescent residency at McLean Hospital in Belmont, Mass., and to the Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute (BPSI). She ultimately focused on work with children, adolescents, adults, and families, both in her private practice in Lexington, Mass., and in paying forward her family's educational legacy through teaching at McLean and Harvard Medical School.
The Massachusetts Psychiatric Society award is the latest in Weinstein's encyclopedic-résumé, which includes honors for leadership in clinical work, education, and advocacy. She is a Distinguished Life Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association and the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry; received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the New England Council of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (NECCAP); and has served several terms as NECCAP president. Over 30 years, she has organized 170 psychiatric conferences and taught thousands of Harvard Medical School students and psychiatric residents.
Looking forward, Weinstein is concerned about a critical shortage of child and adolescent psychiatrists. "Nearly one in five U.S. children has a mental, emotional, or behavioral disorder within a given year, and only about 20 percent receive care from a specialized mental health care provider," she said. "We need more pediatric psychiatrists to meet these needs. It's a dynamic and rewarding field. With significant advances in research and treatments, psychiatrists can partner with families and colleagues to advocate, help children build on their strengths, and create solid foundations for the future."
Weinstein finds her work hopeful and embraces the optimism of change and possibilities. "Much of the power of intervention, through education, connection, social action, and multimodal evidence-based treatments is in being able to rewrite your narrative," she said. "You can see your past through a different lens and rewrite your narrative for the future, knowing that the end of the story has not yet been written."
As with her family, it all comes back to stories.


Pneumococcal Vaccine for Adults | The Medical Letter, Inc.
The US Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) has recommended that adults with immunocompromising conditions receive the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13; Prevnar 13), even if they have already received the older 23-valent unconjugated vaccine (PPSV23; Pneumovax 23).1 Prevnar 13, initially approved by the FDA for use in infants and young children,2 has been licensed since December 2011 for adults ≥50 years old.

The regulation of Wilms' tumour 1 by phospholipid
Department Name: Cellular and Molecular Medicine
The Wilms' tumour 1 protein, WT1, was first identified in a type of kidney cancer that affects children. WT1 is generally lost in this type of cancer, which suggests that WT1 normally offers protection. An opposite role for WT1 is seen in many adult cancers, including of the lung and breast. Here, WT1 helps to drive formation of the cancer. Thus, WT1 appears to have opposite effects in childhood and adult cancers.
We have discovered an interaction partner of WT1, a protein named BASP1. BASP1 is able to bind to WT1 and change the way that WT1 behaves. BASP1 is responsible for switching the function of WT1 between a protector or a promoter of cancer.
WT1 is a protein that binds to DNA. It binds to the control regions of genes and switches them on. When BASP1 binds to WT1, this causes genes to switch off instead. This is how BASP1 changes the function of WT1 from a cancer-promoter to a cancer-preventer.
We have found that BASP1 needs to bind to a small natural chemical called PIP2. PIP2 is a type of fat that is normally associated with the membrane that surrounds cells. Surprisingly, PIP2 needs to bind to BASP1 when it interacts with WT1 and DNA. Without PIP2, BASP1 does not function correctly with WT1. Our work has demonstrated a new way for switching genes on and off.
This proposal describes experiments to determine how PIP2 functions with BASP1 and WT1 to change the on-off status of genes. There are three specific aims;
1. We will determine how BASP1 and PIP2 cause changes in the ability of WT1 to switch genes on and off. This will involve looking at the way that genes are wrapped into bundles inside the cell. The effect of BASP1 and PIP2 on the bundling of genes will determine how they work with WT1 to switch genes on and off.
2. We will determine how BASP1 binds to PIP2 and how this changes the way that BASP1 binds to WT1. The specific features of BASP1 that are needed for binding to PIP2 will be determined. Insights into how the BASP1-PIP2 partnership changes depending upon the state of the cell will be obtained.
3. WT1 was first identified as a factor that loses function in children's kidney cancer. We will use the information from the first two aims to determine how WT1, BASP1 and PIP2 change the behavior of a cell type that normally develops into a kidney cell. This will involve looking at how they act to make the cells continue to grow in a cancer-like fashion instead of forming specialised kidney cells.
The completion of these studies will provide new insights into the critical roles of WT1 in cancer. They will also open new avenues for therapeutic intervention in cancers that involve WT1 and BASP1.
WT1 can act as either a tumour suppressor or oncogene in several cancers, but how these activities are controlled is not clear. We identified BASP1 as a critical regulator of WT1. WT1 and BASP1 form a complex that represses transcription of WT1 target genes. Our central hypothesis is that BASP1 acts as a switch to convert WT1 from a transcriptional activator to a transcriptional repressor, and that this mechanism is critical in directing its tumour suppressor and oncogenic activities.
Our recent findings have revealed that the N-terminal myristoylation of BASP1 is required to elicit transcriptional repression at WT1 target genes. Moreover, myristoylated BASP1 binds to nuclear phosphatidylinositol 4, 5-bisphosphate (PIP2), which stimulates the recruitment of HDAC1 to the promoter to mediate transcriptional repression. Our findings have uncovered a novel role for myristoylation in transcription, and a critical function for PIP2 in gene-specific transcriptional repression through the recruitment of histone deacetylase.
This proposal seeks to determine the mechanisms by which the PIP2-BASP1 interaction regulates WT1 function in gene expression and cell fate. These studies will provide new insights into the mechanisms of WT1 action in development, and will also open new avenues for therapy in several major cancers.
The aims are;
1. Determine the role of PIP2 in the modulation of BASP1 contacts with the chromatin remodelling and transcription machinery, and how PIP2 regulates WT1-dependent gene expression.
2. Study how BASP1-PIP2 contact is regulated by the phosphorylation of BASP1 and how this regulates WT1 function.
3. Determine the role of BASP1-PIP2 in the control of cell proliferation and differentiation using a model of kidney podocyte differentiation.
Who will benefit from this research?
The proposed work is basic science that will increase our understanding of the mechanisms of gene regulation. The work will enhance our understanding of the role of WT1 and BASP1 in kidney development and also several cancer types. The immediate beneficiaries will be academic, biomedical, biotechnology and pharmaceutical industry researchers. Students in the biological sciences will also benefit.
How will they benefit from this research?
The mechanisms involved in the regulation of transcription apply to many areas of biology research. The results of this study are therefore likely to be of significant influence to the work of others in the biology, biomedical and biotechnology research communities. This proposal describes the first evidence that myristoylation plays a role in transcriptional regulation and will therefore stimulate other work in this area. Indeed, it is very likely that other transcription factors will function by a similar mechanism.
Researchers within the pharmaceutical and health-related private sector will benefit in the longer term because the new information derived from this study will help in understanding the roles of WT1 and BASP1 in cancer. Moreover, the regulation of WT1/BASP1 by a small molecule such as PIP2 presents the possibility of modulating WT1/BASP1 function through small molecule therapeutics. Indeed, there are several drugs that are known to modulate PIP2 metabolism that can therefore potentially affect WT1 and BASP1 function. Clinical trials using WT1 peptide vaccines have shown promise in reducing adult leukaemia cell counts and promoting shrinkage of solid tumours including lung cancer and melanoma. While these successes demonstrate the importance of targeting WT1 in the therapy of several types of cancer, their use thus far slows tumour growth but has not yet proven to be curative. The research outlined in this proposal will provide new insights into the regulation of WT1/BASP1 by PIP2. Targeting this pathway will provide a new avenue for therapeutics, and will thus be of direct use to the pharmaceutical industry. The Severnside Alliance for Translational Research (SARTRE) will facilitate in developing discussions with key industrial partners.
The postdoctoral fellow working on this project will gain key skills in research techniques, scientific communication, and supervision. The project involves cutting edge techniques that are at the forefront of current research both in the public and private sector. The postdoctoral fellow will play a central role in the reporting of the work, both by presentation at scientific meetings and in manuscript preparation. The postdoctoral fellow will also have the opportunity to supervise undergraduate and postgraduate students in the laboratory and thus also gain skills in laboratory management and supervision.
The experience obtained by the postdoctoral fellow will be equally applicable to a career in academia, industry, and other science-related endeavour's. Two postdoctoral fellows trained in the applicant's laboratory have gone on to gain independent group leader appointments at academic institutions. Three postdoctoral fellows trained in the applicant's laboratory have gone on to gain permanent research appointments in major pharmaceutical companies. Two postdoctoral fellows from the applicant's laboratory have gone on to fruitful careers in scientific writing. One postdoctoral fellow has gone on to a permanent post in the NHS clinical sector. One postdoctoral fellow gained a position in University research administration involved in industrial collaborations. Another postdoctoral fellow went on to gain an MBA and then to a senior position in marketing in the biotechnology sector. Thus, the skills gained by previous members of the laboratory have gone on to fill diverse roles in the UK economy.

Another shot from this past August, over in the wilds of Pennsyltucky… That red slash in the lower right is an airplane.

So… We go haulin' off down the road, 'cause there's this spot where the night skies are supposed to be breathtaking… We… Also known as "I", for short. I go haulin' off down the road.
For years, I've been wandering out at night, looking up at the sky – weather permitting. Sometimes I'll even venture out with camera gear packed; ready to do battle with that evil monster known as the Light Pollution Dragon, native to these eastern U.S. shores… Alas, equipped as I am, I am untutored in the finer points of battle with such a pervasive beast. All too frequently I return, having once again failed in my quest for the elusive picture that one can stare at for days – gazing back at a universe that's been all too free to gaze at us first.

US agribusiness looks to boost sales to Cuba

House Representatives from Arkansas Rick Crawford speaks to reporters during a U.S. - Cuba Agriculture Coalition press conference at the Hotel Nacional in Havana, Cuba, Thursday, Nov. 8, 2018.

PMN Agriculture
HAVANA — Representatives from the United States' agricultural sector arrived in Cuba on Thursday for a conference aimed at promoting sales, one of the few U.S. business areas allowed to deal with the island under a half-century-old trade embargo that Cuban leaders blame for most of its economic troubles. The U.S.-Cuba Agriculture Coalition will explore potential opportunities for American agriculture producers seeking a market on the island. Cuba imports most of its food products from abroad, a multibillion-dollar market that has flourished despite U.S. sanctions. Relations between both countries normalized somewhat after former U.S. President Barack Obama loosened the trade embargo while in office. But President Donald Trump has intensified sanctions, making it harder for Americans to travel to Cuba and conduct business. In 2017, the United States sold $260 million of food to the Cuba, but the figure was one of the lowest in this decade and paled in comparison to the $450 million of U.S. food sold in 2012. The island still cannot sell its own products in the U.S. and is not given credit to help pay for imports as a result of the embargo. Cuba spends about $2 billion a year to import food for its 11 million citizens, who are given almost free rations each month of products such as chicken, rice and milk. Phil Peters, a trip organizer, said U.S. agribusiness is interested in exporting more products to Cuba and improving regulatory conditions, and in "building a broader and more normal relationship in which there is investment and shared business." About 30 participants were meeting with officials at the conference and visiting farms and co-operatives in the Caribbean nation. The group is scheduled to stay until Saturday. "Our country finds itself fully updating its economic model," Cuban deputy agriculture minister Jose Miguel Rodriguez de Armas said at the opening of the conference. "The concerns of the agriculture sector are very important for the development of our country."

SETE STAR SEPT / NEW YORK AGAINST BELZEBU Split 7"
In a world full of generic grindcore split 7"s, this one stands a bit taller and shines a bit brighter than the norm. Sete Star Sept is....basically the best band in the world. While their discography grows at an exponential rate, I think this recording is a cut above the rest, and it holds a special place in my heart as it's a product of Mike Walls (Official Lotus Fucker Noise Scientist and resident SPHC audio engineer), recorded on our home turf here in Baltimore. This perfect recording captures Sete Star Sept spontaneously generating totally wild and chaotic grindcore that just barely holds enough form and coherence to qualify beyond "noisecore". For fans of harsh music, there is no equal. New York Against Belzebu is a legendary Brazilian noisecore band that comes from a slightly different scene than bands like Noise and Industrial Holocaust. This material is some of my favorite NYAB stuff to date, totally frantic and balls-to-the-wall noisecore with wild guitar styles, unhinged and chaotic drumming, and crazy fucked up vocals. All grind freaks, hail the masters.

Virtue and Meaning: A Neo-Aristotelian Perspective
David McPherson
Cambridge, UK: Cambridge University Press (2020)
The revival of Aristotelian virtue ethics can be seen as a response to the modern problem of disenchantment, that is, the perceived loss of meaning in modernity. However, in Virtue and Meaning, David McPherson contends that the dominant approach still embraces an overly disenchanted view. In a wide-ranging discussion, McPherson argues for a more fully re-enchanted perspective that gives better recognition to the meanings by which we live and after which we seek, and to the fact that human beings are the meaning-seeking animal. In doing so, he defends distinctive accounts of the relationship between virtue and happiness, other-regarding demands, and the significance of linking neo-Aristotelian virtue ethics with a view of the meaning of life and a spiritual life where contemplation has a central role. This book will be valuable for philosophers and other readers who are interested in virtue ethics and the perennial question of the meaning of life.

Q: Continuity in weak convergence implies continuity in norm convergence Let $X$ and $Y$ be norm spaces, and let $T:X\to Y$ be a linear transformation which is continuous under weak convergence.
That is, if $\forall x^\star\in X^\star:x^\star x_n\to x^\star x $ then $\forall y^\star \in Y^\star:y^\star Tx_n \to y^\star Tx$.
Prove that $T$ is continuous under norm convergence.
That is, if $\|x_n\|\to\|x\|$ then $\|Tx_n\|\to\|Tx\|$.
Any hints would be most welcomed.
TIA,
Shai

A: Suppose that  $T$ is not continuous under norm convergence. Then there is a sequence $\{x_n\}$   such that
$$ \Vert x_n\Vert\le 1,\quad \text { and }\quad\Vert T(x_n)\Vert \ge n^2 \quad\text{ for each }n.

$$
(there is a sequence $z_n$ of non-zero vectors in $X$ converging in norm to $0$ for which $\lim\limits_{n\rightarrow\infty} \Vert Tz_n\Vert\ne 0$. Then $\{z_n/\Vert z_n\Vert\}$ is in the unit ball of $X$ and  $\{T( z_n/\Vert z_n)\Vert\}$ is unbounded).
Now $\Vert x_n/n \Vert\rightarrow 0$, and thus $y^* (x_n/n)\rightarrow0$ for each $y^*\in Y^*$.  Since $T$ is assumed to be continuous under weak convergence, $$y^*T(x_n/n)\rightarrow 0\quad, \text{ for any }y^*\in Y^*.   $$
But then,  it follows from the  Uniform Boundedness Principle$^\dagger$ that $\{T(x_n/n)\}$ is norm bounded.
However, $\Vert T(x_n/n)\Vert\ge n$ for each $n$.

$^\dagger$ We consider $\{Tx_n :n=1,2,\ldots\}$ as a subset of $Y^{**}$. That is we consider $Tx_n$ as a continuous linear functional on $Y^*$ (which is a Banach space). The $Tx_n$  are  pointwise bounded, and, thus, norm bounded in $Y^{**}$. But the norms of the $Tx_n$ in $Y^{**}$ are the same as the norms in $Y$.

Tevez deal could spark Chelsea's Brazilian sensation bid
by Nick Howson
Brazilian forward Robinho could be in for a shock return to the Barclays Premier League with Chelsea, according to the People.
The 27-year-old endured a torrid spell with Manchester City upon signing for the club in 2007.
But with AC Milan looking likely to sign Carlos Tevez from City, they need to offload one of their foreign stars to make room for the Argentine.
And Robinho appears to be the player who will depart, with Chelsea linked with a move for his services.
The Blues failed with a bid for Robinho in September 2008, when he instead moved to City from Real Madrid.
However, with Nicolas Anelka expected to leave in January, Chelsea are looking to bring in cover.


BELLINGHAM, Wash. (AP) _ A second person has chained himself to a support ship that is part of Royal Dutch Shell's exploratory oil drilling plans and currently moored in Washington state.
Eric Ross of the Backbone Campaign says on Saturday morning that Matt Fuller joined student activist Chiara Rose in suspending themselves from the anchor chain of the Arctic Challenger, which is in Bellingham Bay.
Rose suspended herself from the ship with a climbing harness on Friday night.
Authorities spoke with her and asked her to remove herself, but the Coast Guard says it has no plans to force them to leave.
Ross says both Rose and Fuller are fine and are not being harassed by the Coast Guard. But he expressed concern for Rose's health and said she must be getting dehydrated and tired after her night above the water.

Cottage Elements: A New Year . . . A New Magazine!
As we go into a new year, I'm here with great excitement and anticipation to introduce the new year with a new magazine and DVD! As a contributor on the JunkMarketStyle website, I received an e-mail from Sue Whitney, President of JunkMarketStyle, announcing the release of this new magazine tomorrow and I'm here to spread the word! Here's what Sue had to say . . . .
Yay! Fresh off the presses and video camera comes a JUNKMARKET dynamic duo. This is so exciting. Let me give you the skinny on this product. The magazine is a 48 page excerpt from my current best-seller, Junk Beautiful- Room by Room Makeovers with JUNKMARKET Style, highlighting the best of the best from the book. It includes 5 room makeovers along with many of my favorite step-by-step projects. If you don't already own the book this will leave you yearning for more and there is indeed plenty more where this comes from. What's totally new and fresh? Something that we here at JUNKMARKET have never done before....a DVD. Woo hoo! The DVD includes a flea market shopping experience including all the tips and tricks, a style file, three different bathrooms three different ways, a creative workshop section with me, Kimberly, and our new Junk Hunk, Brandon, a video version of my daughter's bedroom makeover, and a personally guided tour through the "House That Junk Built". That would be my home! I have to say that this may be one of my favorite junking experiences ever...and that speaks volumes. We had an outrageously good time, shooting, writing, creating, and producing this DVD for you. I hope you have as much fun watching it as we did making it! The cover price is a bargain at $12.99. The contents will totally give you an upper-hand on how to cut costs and raise the coolness meter at the same time. Now that's a two-fer. This will be released December 30, 2008...tomorrow!
I actually saw this new magazine/DVD at Barnes and Noble just the other day but because it was sealed in plastic and I already own the book I did not know what all was in it so I didn't get it but now after reading more about what is on the DVD I just may have to hop on out and get it. I would love to have a tour of her home. Amazing ideas....I love it. Thanks for sharing the info.
Happy New Year from Eileen and the Beautiful Starry Girl.
I am excited to see this! Honestly, not sure if I need the magazine since it is a repeat of the book, but i want to see the DVD.
I will be going to B&N shortly. Thanks so much for sharing. Also, I use to go to the Round Barn in Andover but the last time I was up there (Sept.2006) it wasn't there anymore. I use to go with my aunt and cousins and we had such fun tooling around. We always found treasures that I would have to haul back to FL. Did they relocate?
I'm going to try to pick this one up for my mom. I'm sure she will love it.


I'm hoping that this little one will blow the snow here for Christmas morning, I love a white Christmas, there is just something magical about it, I know Grandson Jack would love it, he wasn't really old enough to know what is was last year when we had it so I would love to know his reaction to it now. I can remember tossing my head back and catching the snowflakes on my tongue when i was young and laying flat on my back waving my arms to make an angel print in the snow.
I used the Penny Black holly stamp and heat embossed with white detail powder then used pale blue ink to swirl over the top to create the blue haze, the ribbon is scrumptious and from the Ribbon Carousel I only used around a 3 inch piece of it and fastened a button to the middle, the lace ribbon holds its shape so was perfect for this.
Oh what a darling card here Jak. I love this, sooo beautiful.
About the snow I admit, I can sure do without it, as we had sooo much the last 2 years, that it would be great with a year without any LOL. But I´m sure the kids would just love it thoug.
Have a wonderful Christmas with or without snow.
So very beautiful! The image is so sweet and the background is absolutely stunning!
Wow, this is gorgeous!!! Love the image and everything about it!
Oh it's breathtaking gorgeous Jak!
This is gorgeous, Jak! I love the background holly and the darling image! Wonderful coloring!
Wowww, this is gorgeous Jak.
What a beautiful background you've created!!! I can feel the cold over here in Holland!!!
It's gorgeous jak, love the white embossing with the blue over it. Fantastic image and coloured beautifully too. By the way my husband was laying in the snow last year making a snow angel!!!
Its fabby Jak I may have tobuy her she is just so cute!!!
Beautiful Jak lovley image and fantastic background and lace bow. Must admit snow does make a christmas especially for the children.
I love this card and that image is so very cute. So cute that I just had to buy it!!
Beautiful! I love this card and the colors. So sweet!!
Wow! Such a beautiful card - I absolutely love your embossed image that you have inked over.


People have difficulties with synonyms. Synonyms are words that mean the same thing…most of us learned that in middle school or so. Unfortunately, there must not have been much practice of real-world usage. I'd like to take a minute to identify words and phrases that are not synonyms.
All kidding aside, there has been a movement in the online world to equate things that don't need to be equated, and in reality we can all blame Frank Kern.
It was an awesome internet marketing program, Mass Control. It took the interwebs by storm. It was called a Money Magnet. Something that you give away free, with SO much value, that it prompted people to give us their emails and such to be marketed to like crazy. The problem is…that it worked.
Just like the dot-com arms race in the late 90's, the "Free" arms race is still escalating to this day. What started with a cool little 19 page, 24-point font eBook or newsletter; now exists as huge 50 page term papers of Masters-level info just to get an email address that's most likely a throw-away…(just me?). People are adding free videos, people are adding free audios. Free coaching, free classes, everyone is giving away something valuable for free…and the internet loves it.
My mom used to tell me that if you don't love yourself, then no one else will love you. I thank her for that advice, and the open invitation to narcissism that she gave me so long ago, and would like to give it to the internet now.
If you don't value the .pdf that you worked so hard to make to get a blip of attention from your Twitter audience enough to put a value on it…neither will they.
If you don't value the information that you're giving away on an hour long webinar…neither will they.
As industry professionals, many of you trade time for dollars. Very few create products, and many of those that do give them away for free. The potential reward seems to outweigh the risks, but very rarely do we realize that as soon as we release our, "killer" content, someone will be smart enough to update our documents and make them obsolete.
We're the ones to blame. I have a friend who is always giving his audience a, "way to do things for free". One day I asked him, "How are you going to get them to pay you, if you keep conditioning them to get free stuff?" Silence.
Give away the "Why" for free; make them pay for the "How".
The, "How" is your intellectual property. You know, "how" to build a brand online. You know, "how" to market a business in the digital world. For free, tell the internet "why" they need to listen to you. This has been used in TV, and radio for years, but somewhere along the lines marketers thought that they needed to give away their entire brain to get attention online. Stop it! You deserve better.

we are, 99% of the time, talking about all things above ground. when to plant, what to plant, how to maintain, etc.
this is that 1% where we are not.
at a large commercial project we completed this past week, we ran into a first…yellow jackets. according to wikipedia, yellow jackets are wasps and are important predators of pest insects. according to me, they are evil, sideways flying, creepy little airborne needles with wings.
here's what i'll tell you about this: if you see a whole bunch of these flying in and out of a hole in the ground. …..
Then this is probably underneath it.
nothing to be messed with and, if i were you, i'd let the pros handle it. and that's coming from diy people. in fact, in our situation, the facility's maintenance had been dealing with these, so we let them handle it for us. yep, don't want any part of that.
the only safe way, in my opinion, to deal with yellow jackets is watching them on tv….


bleeding 13 year old female dog, Normal?
Some people here are just mean as hell. We have a 13 y/o Ack Russel mix who was never spayed, and, as you saidvshe got cancer. It is devestating. Ibwant to tell you, she has been well cared for, loved and saved from a puppy mill type setting in a atore. We looked at her, knew she wouldn't make it.. Her first vet visit, underweight, weaned too soon, diarrhea, 7 medicines we had to give her. She has outlived 2 neutered nales. One Border Collie who was 11 and had epilepsy since age 2, meds 2x a day. After him, ac160lb King Shepherd who developed demyeinating disease, use a lift to take him out or get him up, used dog wheelchair, rubber mats t/o home. He was well taken care of and loved. So, the thing is, when growing up we had males, when we got our girl the both dogs were neutered, one before getting her and one after. She never was messy, the two dogs didn't bother her but for a little whine occ.. It surely didn't disrupt our home. We have two cats that are fixed, one male, one female, one is a neighborhood stray who we rescued. And we have a border mix now, male, neutered. All are up tobdate on shots, all are chipped, all have toys, love, attention and couch time. So, yes I feel aweful about our girl, I cry BUT I honestly never knew or was told by a Vet that she is more likely to get cancer. So, go ahead and judge instead of educate people. I have a feeling there are alot of people who love their animals, who are good fur parents but you may have done worse, because now some may never again ask for help for their animalon this or any site.. And you may be the cause. Think about that. I sure as hell wouldn't ask advice on here.
for their animalon this or any site. And you may be the cause.
Think about that. I sure as hell wouldn't ask advice on here.
Hi Mud Puppy (name you use here).
series of strokes happened the night before her scheduled mammectomy.
cancer was growing too fast for her to make it wait. Catch-22.
her 'special tummy rub check' daily.
there might be other medical issues not listed in his/her case.
and so not really know how.
cardiologist for it (they refused unless we had one).
could count his vertebra from across the room.
has cancer. Multiple masses and nothing they can do.
We let him go Thursday, 4 April.
I understand your pain and hope I did not say something that upset you.
If I did, I apologize.


Worldwide Relations is anxious with relations throughout boundaries of nation-states. Feminist IR considers the ways that international politics affects and is affected by both men and women and in addition at how the core concepts which might be employed inside the self-discipline of IR (e.g. conflict, security, and many others.) are themselves gendered.
The intention of the course is to amass fundamental knowledge of and talent tips on how to use ideas and theories inside IR to analyze and interpret power relations, worldwide norms and other distinguished phenomena inside world politics. Gained analysis skills, including the ability to work with historic primary sources and using theories drawn from the fields of political principle and international relations.
India and Indian civilization have performed a significant part in human growth, world historical past and worldwide relations. You'll benefit from numerous research and instructing initiatives which contact on important international issues, including International Safety Roundtable, World Security Community, Glasgow Centre for Worldwide Improvement, Glasgow Refugee, Asylum & Migration Community; and Glasgow Human Rights Network.
Our college students keep in mind their year at IBEI, certainly one of intense dedication to the examine of worldwide relations, as a interval in their lives during which they learn to replicate on the problems of immediately's world in a extra profound, complex and knowledgeable method.
The scholarship meets the full value of tuition fees at some stage in your programme as well offering an extra £5,000 per year stipend, if the eligibility standards for university lodging is met this can even be supplied all through your degree.
Though the precise origins of the connection between sports activities and worldwide relations stay obscure, all cultures have participated over the course of history in different physical contests that fostered cultural exchange and contributed to their residents' political discourse. 8. David Hunter, et al., Worldwide Environmental Legislation and Coverage, p. 306 (second. International enterprise is another career path for those concerned about international relations. Worldwide relations (IR) or worldwide affairs (IA) — generally additionally known as international studies (IS) or global studies (GS) — is the examine of interconnectedness of politics , economics and legislation on a worldwide degree.
Our students research particular countries and geographic regions and their interconnections by political treaties, commerce, migration, cultural and ethnic affinities, shared social, economic, and ideological goals, hierarchies of energy and wealth and other factors.
Our International Relations MA Is an opportunity to discover in depth the topics of globalisation, ethics and human rights, the worldwide political economic system, conflict, political violence and security by the contending perspectives of politics and international relations, philosophy and social concept. Put up-structuralist theories of IR developed in the 1980s from postmodernist research in political science Put up-structuralism explores the deconstruction of ideas traditionally not problematic in IR (reminiscent of "energy" and "agency") and examines how the construction of those ideas shapes worldwide relations.
Political science, for example, has turn into more and more targeted on disciplinary strategies, and the history career has largely deserted the examine of conflict, peace, and diplomacy. Pursuing a Bachelor's or Grasp's diploma in Worldwide Relations will offer you nice insights on political affairs, public insurance policies, economic developments, social issues, law and lots of more.
One of the common fields of examine immediately is worldwide relations. Annually, several IR majors additionally opt for regulation school or international public affairs masters applications, the place they are going to specialize in a sure area of the world (e.g. South Asia) or political issue (e.g. conflict administration) with the aim of someday changing into an skilled in that area and working for the U.S. government, a world group, or a non-governmental organization.
This master's programme, offered by Leiden University in co-operation with the Netherlands Institute of International Relations Clingendael, gives students with a radical schooling in international relations, with an additional emphasis on the educational examine of international organisation and diplomacy.

LockState LS-500I RemoteLock Wi-Fi Door Lock Review
Email and SMS notifications.
Supports Web, iOS, and Android apps.
Mobile apps have limited functionality.
Requires a small monthly subscription.
The LockState LS-5001 RemoteLock Wi-Fi Door Lock lets you lock and unlock your door, manage access, and monitor comings and goings from just about anywhere using your existing Wi-Fi network. It's easy to install and performs wonderfully, but its mobile apps aren't quite ready for prime-time and it requires a meager annual subscription fee.
With the LockState LS-500I RemoteLock Wi-Fi Door Lock ($249.95 direct) you'll never have to worry about whether you remembered to lock up before you left for the day. This electronic push button deadbolt lock connects to your Wi-Fi network and can be controlled from a remote PC as well as Android and iOS-based smart devices. Not only can you lock and unlock your door remotely, you can monitor the lock's activity, create individual user codes with specific entry rights, and receive alerts when the door is locked and unlocked. The LS-500I isn't cheap and you'll have to pay a small annual subscription fee, but it's ideal for scheduling and tracking access into and out of your home or office, and our Editors' Choice for smart door locks.
The LS-500I looks like a typical push button deadbolt lock. The exterior casing sports a 10-button rubberized number pad, a LockState programming/enter button, and a keyed cylinder. The lock comes with a deadbolt mechanism, two keys, a user manual, a Wi-Fi quick start provisioning guide, a template for drilling holes, and assorted screws and mounting hardware. The lock can be ordered with a Polished Brass, Satin Nickel, or Venetian Bronze finish.
The interior casing contains a Wi-Fi radio for connecting to your wireless network and a lever used to manually lock/unlock the door. The lock is powered by four AA batteries (not included) that are hidden behind a removable plastic cover.
Installing the LS-500I was easy. Before doing anything, I followed the instructions and wrote down the lock's Mac ID and Wi-Fi key, which can be found inside the interior casing. After removing my old lock I screwed the new deadbolt latch into the door, and while holding the keypad assembly to the outside of the door, slid the cylinder into its place on the faceplate. I then fed the data cable from the keypad through the hole in the door and attached the interior mounting plate by screwing it into the cylinder. I attached the data cable to the interior casing, bolted the casing to the mounting plate using the included hardware, and installed the batteries. The process took less than 15 minutes.
Connecting the lock to my wireless network was a snap. I used my laptop to search for and connect to the lock's Wi-Fi radio (you can use your smartphone as well), after which I was prompted to enter the lock's Wi-Fi key. Next, I opened a browser and entered 10.10.1.1 in the URL bar, which initiated a search for nearby wireless networks. I chose my SSID, entered my password, and received a message that I was done. After reconnecting my laptop to my network I went to www.lockstateconnect.com to create an account, name the lock (I named it back door) and register it as a connected device. The lock showed up immediately and was ready to go.
When creating an account you are prompted to supply information (such as the address and a house name) for each property that is using LS-500I locks. You also have to choose a subscription plan; LockState charges a small fee to help defray the costs of the cloud service used to push notifications and alerts. A Basic subscription costs $0.99 a month (billed annually) and provides basic lock/unlock controls via the Web portal as well as scheduling abilities. If you want text and email notifications it'll cost you $1.98 per month (billed annually) for the Premium plan.
App and Performance
The LS-500I can be programmed using the keypad, but it's much easier to do from the LockState Connect Web-based dashboard. The dashboard isn't very flashy but it is easy to navigate and can be used to control other LockState Wi-Fi devices, including thermostats, power plugs, cameras, and motion sensors. A panel on the left side of the page displays the local weather conditions, and on the upper right corner is the date and time.
Under the Locks tab is a list of installed locks by name. Next to each lock is a battery gauge, a Wi-Fi signal meter, and the lock's status (locked or unlocked). Here you can add new locks and edit settings (such as lock name, master programming code, and Wi-Fi update intervals). You can also create, disable, and delete User and Guest access codes and grant specific scheduled rights. Guest codes can be assigned exact start and end times and dates, providing a not-so-subtle way to let your guests know they've overstayed their welcome. Both user and guest access codes can be set up to trigger an email or text message notification when the lock has been opened or closed using that code. Codes can contain between four and ten digits and are used to unlock the lock only (only the programming code can be used to grant access and manage locks).
One of my gripes with the Kwikset Kevo lock was that it didn't track activity when using the keychain fob. Not so with the LS-500I; it keeps a log of everything, including programming changes, access code creation (and deletion), and access history. The access history log tells you the name of the user, the date and time of the event, the type of event (locked or unlocked), and if the attempt was successful.
The LS-500I can be locked and unlocked using the free iOS and Android apps, but that's all they let you do. You can't create access codes or schedules, nor can you view the lock's access history, battery life, and settings. In fact, the app looks more like an afterthought than a control mechanism. According to a LockState spokesman, an update that will add many of the above mentioned features is in the works and should be ready in a few months.
Once programmed, the LS-500I performed without a hitch. User and guest access codes worked flawlessly, as did timed schedules. I received text and email messages each time a user engaged the lock and used the history feature to make sure the door was locked afterwards. As a parent, receiving a text that my child has arrived home as planned justifies the LS-500I's lofty price.
The LockState LS-500I RemoteLock Wi-Fi Door Lock is more than just a push button door lock. It uses your wireless network to let you know who is entering your home or office and keeps a historical log of each opening and closing. Parents and business owners alike will appreciate the text and email alert feature as well. Granted, the LS-500I doesn't offer hands-free access like the Kwikset Kevo and its mobile apps aren't as polished, but it does a better job of logging door activity and gives you much more control over who can enter your dwelling.

p(w | α, β) can not be computed directly. So Gibbs Sampling is used to estimate latent parameters.
Gibbs sampling is used to estimate p(x) = p(x1, …, xn) where there is no solution for p(x) but there are some forms of conditional probabilities. This method can be applied to LDA but there is a more simpler way to do this.
θ and φ can be calculated based on z where and . In simple: θ is fraction words in document (d) where belong to the topic(z) and φ is the fraction of word (w) that belongs to topic (z) in the documents that w appeared in them.
Likehood and prior can be calculated easily. The computation process can be done by means of Expectation of Dirichlet distribution. For more information check these slides.

GRIMOIRE OF POPE LEO PDF
The Enchiridion of Pope Leo is a Bibliothèque bleue grimoire that associates itself with Pope Leo III, and claims to have been published in The earliest. The Enchiridion of Pope Leo III, also known as the Grimoire of Pope Leo, is a strange document which has appeared in multiple forms over the.

It is certain, however, that when he approached the secret sciences, their substitutes and their memorials in literature, he depended more on his imagination than on his knowledge or research.

Grimoire of Pope Leo
Member feedback about List of fictional books: As it is difficult to say where the original Enchiridion actually begins, so it is uncertain where it ends. No trivia or quizzes yet. The organization has over professional members from the gaming press that vote on the games nominations. The proviso is that. The apparently unmeaning enumeration of various Divine Names is a special characteristic of Ceremonial Magic, and certainly makes the Enchiridion interlink with a cycle of literature from which it is otherwise thinly distinct.
This fact being established, we may proceed to the consideration of the alleged date of publication–Rome, The Enchiridion is assuredly not a book of Black Magic, nor does it lend itself to the introduction of other figures than those which appear in it, and these are few and simple. It is needless to say that there is no such document preserved in the Vatican Library; furthermore, there are no letters of Charlemagne extant, and, despite the encouragement he gave to men of learning and the Academy mentioned by Alcuin, it is not at all certain that he could either read or write.

Flashback: Missing boy, railway vandals and a shortage of ambulances
20 years ago. - Credit: Romford Library
A look back at the stories making the news in Havering 60, 40 and 20 years ago
1959 Late into the night, Romford police were still searching for a happy, bright-eyed boy who disappeared from his Harold Hill home four days after his 11th birthday.
The youngster asked his mum if he could call for a school friend.
He put a green jacket over his grey trousers and, proudly wearing his birthday watch, left home to cut through the woods to meet his friend at Bedale Road but had not been seen since.
Unaware of their parents' sorrow, the family's four younger children played happily around the Whitchurch Road home.
In the larder was a part-eaten birthday cake and his 29-year-old mum spoke of the helpful, considerate son who was missing.
She said: "It's so unlike him to go away.
"He would never go out unless he had somewhere special to go."
1979 Havering train drivers feared a major rail disaster following a plague of deadly vandalism on the tracks.
Lumps of concrete were found dumped on the Upminster to Romford pull-pull line.
It was the latest in a string of incidents.
A squad of British Transport Police were drafted in to scour the area.
A spokesman said the line was one of the worst for hooliganism.
Upminster Police said the vandals used "anything they can lay their hands on" to block the track.
British Rail feared the wreckers would cause a fatal train crash and launched a campaign to stamp them out.
The blackspot was between Emerson Park Halt and Wingletye Lane bridge on the push-pull line.
1999 A woman who dialled 999 because she thought her mum was having a heart attack was told that the London Ambulance Service didn't have an ambulance to send.
Upminster widow Elsie Clifford, 59, was left "a shaking wreck" after an operator told her there was no vehicle available to help her sick mum Lilly Johnson.
When an ambulance finally became available, it arrived almost 50 minutes after the first call - about four times longer than the target response time.
Mrs Johnson, 89, who suffered from serious angina, collapsed at Mrs Clifford's home in Corbets Tey Road.
Mrs Clifford was advised to pick up her unconscious mum from the floor and drive her to Oldchurch Hospital, Romford, for treatment.
She said: "I told them I was sure my mum was having a heart attack.
"I kept saying there was no way I could pick her up and take her to casualty as she was a dead weight.
"But the operator was adamant that there were no ambulances available for us."


The freedom that Americans enjoy today is not free, it has been earned by the sacrifice of brave men and women who have dedicated their lives to protecting our great country. In Norse mythology, Valhalla is a glorious hall where fallen warriors can join their brothers and sisters in arms after death. The hall is reserved for only the bravest of soldiers who die a "heroic death" - men and women who would selflessly lay down their lives to protect those who matter most to them.
The brave men and women who have died protecting the United States will not only live on in our hearts, but will find a home in the halls of Valhalla, WHERE THE BRAVE SHALL LIVE FOREVER!!
We have to give thanks to all the men and women in the armed forces, for they are the reason that were are free in the United States of America, I am an immigrant from Cuba when Fidel. As he took over 1959, my parents were stripped of their land, business, and personal belongings, when we arrive in miami with absolute nothing but clothes on our back, this Country USA opened their arms and welcomed us, 1n August of 1966, And for that I am so ever Grateful and honored. I shall continue to be Faithful and honored to be a part othia great Country. God Bless America. Thank you for doing this shirts, they are excellent workmanship and I am proud to wear them everywhere I go and stand tall for what they represent. Thank you to all who make this possible. God Bless.
T-shirt is athletic fit, so tapered around the waist. Good fit and finish. I got the Navy blue and quickly became my favorite workout shirt. I like the fact that they keep coming up with new designs. Good job Nineline.

Seaton Delaval Hall é um palácio rural inglês situado em Northumberland, entre Seaton Sluice e Seaton Delaval. Foi desenhado segundo o estilo arquitectónico conhecido por Barroco Inglês, pelo arquitecto Sir John Vanbrugh, em 1718, para o Almirante George Delaval.

História
A família Delaval já era proprietária da herdade onde se ergueria o Seaton Delaval Hall desde os tempos da Conquista Normanda. O almirante Delaval, tendo feito a sua fortuna a partir de prémios recebidos enquanto estava ao serviço da marinha (também havia servido como enviado britânico durante o reinado da Rainha Ana), comprou a propriedade a um parente empobrecido. O almirante desejou inicialmente que John Vanbrugh expandisse e modernizasse a mansão existente, mas ao ver o local, Vanbrugh sentiu que não poderia fazer nada ali e aconselhou a completa demolição de tudo, excepto a antiga capela próxima do edifício. A nova mansão resultante seria o último palácio rural desenhado por Vanbrugh, sendo visto como a sua obra-prima. O estilo usado na construção foi o chamado Barroco Inglês, o qual Vanbrugh desenvolveu a partir do Barroco popular na Europa continental, mais decorado e arquitectonicamente iluminado.

Quando o almirante George Delaval veio para a propriedade, no início do século XVIII, chamou John Vanbrugh para demolir a velha casa e construir uma nova que deveria comparar-se ao esplendor de Castle Howard e de outros grandes palácios rurais do Norte da Inglaterra; pretendia, assim, reflectir amplamente a sua prosperidade, a qual se acumulava lenta mas inevitavelmente com a crescente procura do carvão na na sua herdade.

John Vanbrugh examinou o local pela primeira vez cerca de 1718 e em 1728 o novo edifíco estava concluido, embora o almirante nunca se tenha deleitado com a sua magnificência, uma vez que faleceu em 1723 após cair do seu cavalo. A propriedade foi, então, herdada pelo seu sobrinho Francis.

O desenho consiste num bloco central, ou "corps de logis", contendo as salas de estado e outras salas principais, flanqueado por duas alas com arcadas e frontões, onde se situavam os estábulos, na ala Este, e aposentos secundários e de serviço, na ala Oeste. Desde a conclusão do palácio, em 1728, que este tem tido uma história desafortunada. Nem o arquitecto nem o patrão viveram tempo suficiente para ver a obra completa; a partir daí passou por uma sucessão de herdeiros, sendo habitado apenas intermitentemente.

Em 1822 o Bloco Central foi destruído pelo fogo e o palácio abandonado, vindo a ser parcialmente restaurada em 1862-1863. Apesar das obras de reatauro ocorridas em 1959, o edifício permaneceu desocupado até à década de 1980 quando, depois de um periodo de 160 anos, Edward Delaval Henry Astley, 22º Barão Hastings, se mudou para a ala Oeste. Esta tornar-se-ia a sua residência permanente até à sua morte em 2007. Enquanto que o exterior se mantém como um perfeito exemplo do barroco inglês, o interior das salas de estado permanece sem obras de restauro desde o incêndio.

Seaton Delaval, com o seu alto Pórtico Jónico, é um dos mais refinados trabalhos de Vanbrugh. Baseia-se no estilo Palladiano introduzido no país por Inigo Jones. O bloco principal (com o Pórtico Jónico) eleva-se até ático com frontão, flanqueado por duas torres com chaminés nas esquinas. Esteve desabitado desde 1822, quando foi quase destruido por um desastroso incênsio, atribuido às gralhas que se aninhavam nas chaminés. Os efeitos do fogo ainda são bem visíveis no grande hall, o qual tinha originalmente 30 pés de altura, mas que agora está aberto até ao telhado. Nos nichos situados nas paredes existem severas estátuas de musas enegrecidas.

O "Comité Educacional do Condado de Northumberland como lembrança da Coroação de Sua Majestade, a Rainha Isabel II, e uma recordação da sua lealdade a Sua Majestade e ao belo Condado de Northumberland" (1953) teceu considerações sobre o palácio ao afirmar: A grande casa de Seaton Delaval ergue-se em esplendor estadual no seu parque, no final de uma aristocrática avenida com uma milha de extensão, austera, com a fragrância da grandeza desaparecida. O fogo e os anos passados têm deixado as suas marcas na velha casa, e nos seus salões de mármore já não ecoam as risadas alegres dos Delavals.

Vanbrugh e o Seaton Delaval Hall

O Seaton Delaval Hall foi a obra final de Vanbrugh, com este nortenho e um tanto triste palácio rural a ser considerado a sua mais refinada obra-prima arquitectónica. Nesta fase da sua carreira como arquitecto, Vanbrugh era uma mestre do Barroco, tendo adoptado esta corrente não só em Castle Howard, com um barroco flamboyant continental, mas também no Palácio de Blenheim, mais severo mas ainda assim bastante decorado. Os ornamentos foram quase escondidos: um recesso ou um pilar não estavam colocados para suporte, mas sim para criar um jogo de luz e sombra. A silhueta do edifício tinha tanta, se não mesmo superior, como o esquema do interior. Em cada aspecto do edifício, a subtileza era a palavra-chave.

Construido entre 1718 e 1728 para o almirante George Delaval, substituiu a casa existente no local. É possível que o desenho do Seaton Delaval Hall tenha sido influenciado pela Villa Foscari (algumas vezes conhecida como "La Malcontenta") de Palladio, construida cerca de 1555. Ambos têm fachadas rústicas e janelas em forma de meia-lua sobre uma entrada sem pórtico. Mesmo o grande ático com frontão da Villa Foscari dá pistas para o clerestório do grande hall de Seaton.

O conceito de desenho produzido por Vanbrugh em Seaton Delaval foi semelhante ao usado no Castle Howard e no Palácio de Blenheim: um bloco central entre duas alas arcadas e com frontões. De qualquer forma, Seaton Delaval foi concebido para uma escala muito menor. A obras começaram em 1718 e continuaram durante uma década. O edifício representa um progresso mais em relação ao estilo de Blenheim que ao do anterior Castle Howard. O bloco principal, ou corps de logis, contém, tal como em Blenheim e no Castle Howard, as principais salas de estado e de estar, formando o centro de um pátio com três lados. Torres coroadas por balaustradas e pináculos dão ao palácio aquilo a que Vanbrugh chamava de "seu ar de castelo".

Seaton Delaval foi um dos poucos palácios rurais desenhados por Vanbrugh sem a ajuda de Nicholas Hawksmoor. a sobriedade do seu trabalho conjunto tem sido atribuida, por vezes, a Hawksmoor, e mesmo assim, Seaton Delaval é, de facto, um edifício muito sombrio. Enquanto que o Castle Howard poderia estar localizado com sucesso em Dresden ou Würzburg, a austeridade e solidez de Seaton Delaval pertencem firmemente à paisagem do Northumberland. Vanbrugh, na fase final da sua carreira, libertou-se totalmente das regras de arquitectura usadas pela geração anterior. O rústico trabalho em pedra é usado para toda a fachada, inluindo a da entrada, onde os pares de colunas gémeas suportam pouco mais que uma cornija de pedra. Esta scolunas gémeas são severas, utilitárias e, ainda, ornamentais, pois não fornecem qualquer uso estrutural. Isto é parte da qualidade furtiva do barroco de Seaton Delaval: o ornamental aparece como uma demonstração de força e massa.

A igualmente severa, mas perfeitamente proporcionada, fachada do jardim tem no seu centro um pórtico de quatro colunas com um balcão coberto. Aqui, o canelado das colunas de pedra parece quase excessivamente ornamentado. Tal como em Blenheim, o bloco central é dominado pelo saliente clerestório do grande hall, adicionado ao dramatismo da silhueta do edifício, mas ao contrário do que acontece noutros palácio de Vanbrugh,aqui nenhuma estatuária decora o escape do telhado. A decoração é providenciada somente por uma simples balaustrada ocultando a linha dos telhados, e chaminés disfarçadas como florões nas balaustradas das torres baixas. Vanbrugh era, agora, um verdadeiro mestre do Barroco. A acumulação de pedra, as colunatas das alas laterais, o pesado trabalho em cantaria e os intrincados recessos criam um jogo de luz e sombra, o qual é um ornamento em si próprio.

Entre os arquitectos, apenas Vanbrugh poderia ter tomado para sua inspiração uma das obras-primas de Palladio enquanto retinha os valores humanistas do edifício, alterando-o e adaptando-o até formar uma forma única do Barroco, nunca vista em qualquer outro ponto da Europa.

Parque e Estábulos

A ala Oeste do Seaton Delaval Hall, a qual foi danificada num incêndio anterior mas restaurada segundo o plano original, distingue-se por uma grande colunata e ostenta por cima uma cozinha abobadada. A principal característica da ala Oeste é o estábulo, uma câmara com sessenta pés, de desenho Palladiano, com estábulos e manjedouras da pedra adaptados para os cavalos mais perfeitos. Entre as duas alas fica um grande pátio aberto com 180 pés de comprimento por 152,5 pés de largura.

Visto por cima das árvores do parque, fica um mausoléu de pedra, coberto por uma majestosa cúpula e dotado de um pórtico que descansa em enormes monólitos com várias toneladas de peso. Este foi erguido por Lord Delaval para o seu único filho, John, que morreu em 1775 aos 20 anos de idade, "como resultado de ter sido atingido num órgão vital por um pontapé desferido por uma criada da lavandaria, à qual ele pagava os seus vestidos". Também no parque fica um jardim de Inverno coroado por alegres figuras de querubins e alguns esplêndidos grupos de estatuária plúmbea; um destes mostra uma frágil figura de David, com a funda vazia, levemente equilibrado sobre a figura de um Golias contraído, o qual tem os seus polegares dobrados no interior das palmas das mãos, uma precaução Northumbriana contra a feitiçaria.
