WN: In our immediate family, we have a non-white daughter and daughter-in-law, a non-white nephew and his non-white partner, and two non-white grandsons. As I reflect on each of these family members, whom I care for dearly, I can only ache for a racial reality so unlike our current one – in North America no less than around the world.
I also reflect on my position of immense privilege and power in Canadian culture (and in much of the world) just by virtue of my being male and white whose mother tongue is English.
The article, "White Fragility", raises these matters in a forthright, powerful, no holds barred and disturbing way. There are excerpts below and it may also be found online in a variety of places, including on my website. You may click on the full article below. You may also click on the author's name above to be taken to her website, including notice of an upcoming book publication by the same title as the article highlighted on this page.
(Please also see the next post! The two combined, this by an American white woman, the other by a British black woman, together put forward overwhelmingly, brilliantly, passionately – the superlative adjectives could pile up! – the dystopian scourge of white privilege and racism rampant across the globe and ubiquitously in history.)
The image above is the book's cover.
Thanks to Kai Oshea, part of a discussion group called "Wrongs To Rights", initiated September 2016 by All Saints Anglican Church in Agassiz British Columbia, for telling me of this paper.
The book on which the discussion group of the same name is based, was edited by Steve Heinrichs of Mennonite Church Canada. Upon completion of that study, we are now continuing indefinitely as a discussion group, and are presently using another book edited by Steve Heinrichs, entitled Yours, Mine, Ours about the horror story – continuing to this day! – of the Church's Doctrine of Discovery promulgated in the 15th century. A third resource by Steve Heinrichs, Quest for Respect, dealing with the Church and indigenous spirituality, is likely our next discussion launching material.
Thanks hugely to Steve Heinrichs and to Mennonite Church Canada. Thanks also to Vicar David Price and parishioner Monica Gibson-Pugsley for their insightful and passionate leadership of us in the group.
White people in North America live in a social environment that protects and insulates them from race-based stress. This insulated environment of racial protection builds white expectations for racial comfort while at the same time lowering the ability to tolerate racial stress, leading to what I refer to as White Fragility. White Fragility is a state in which even a minimum amount of racial stress becomes intolerable, triggering a range of defensive moves. These moves include the outward display of emotions such as anger, fear, and guilt, and behaviors such as argumentation, silence, and leaving the stress-inducing situation. These behaviors, in turn, function to reinstate white racial equilibrium. This paper explicates the dynamics of White Fragility.
Whiteness scholars define racism as encompassing economic, political, social, and cultural structures, actions, and beliefs that systematize and perpetuate an unequal distribution of privileges, resources and power between white people and people of color (Hilliard, 1992). This unequal distribution benefits whites and disadvantages people of color overall and as a group.
White Fragility is a state in which even a minimum amount of racial stress becomes intolerable, triggering a range of defensive moves. These moves include the outward display of emotions such as anger, fear, and guilt, and behaviors such as argumentation, silence, and leaving the stress-inducing situation. These behaviors, in turn, function to reinstate white racial equilibrium. Racial stress results from an interruption to what is racially familiar. These interruptions can take a variety of forms and come from a range of sources, including:
Suggesting that a white person's viewpoint comes from a racialized frame of reference (challenge to objectivity);
People of color talking directly about their racial perspectives (challenge to white racial codes);
People of color choosing not to protect the racial feelings of white people in regards to race (challenge to white racial expectations and need/entitlement to racial comfort);
People of color not being willing to tell their stories or answer questions about their racial experiences (challenge to colonialist relations);
A fellow white not providing agreement with one's interpretations (challenge to white solidarity);
Receiving feedback that one's behavior had a racist impact (challenge to white liberalism);
Suggesting that group membership is significant (challenge to individualism);
An acknowledgment that access is unequal between racial groups (challenge to meritocracy);
Being presented with a person of color in a position of leadership (challenge to white authority);
Being presented with information about other racial groups through, for example, movies in which people of color drive the action but are not in stereotypical roles, or multicultural education (challenge to white centrality).
In a white dominant environment, each of these challenges becomes exceptional. In turn, whites are often at a loss for how to respond in constructive ways. Whites have not had to build the cognitive or affective skills or develop the stamina that would allow for constructive engagement across racial divides.
Racial Arrogance
Ideological racism includes strongly positive images of the white self as well as strongly negative images of racial "others" (Feagin, 2000, p. 33). This self-image engenders a self-perpetuating sense of entitlement because many whites believe their financial and professional successes are the result of their own efforts while ignoring the fact of white privilege. Because most whites have not been trained to think complexly about racism in schools (Derman-Sparks, Ramsey & Olsen Edwards, 2006; Sleeter, 1993) or mainstream discourse, and because it benefits white dominance not to do so, we have a very limited understanding of racism. Yet dominance leads to racial arrogance, and in this racial arrogance, whites have no compunction about debating the knowledge of people who have thought complexly about race. Whites generally feel free to dismiss these informed perspectives rather than have the humility to acknowledge that they are unfamiliar, reflect on them further, or seek more information. This intelligence and expertise are often trivialized and countered with simplistic platitudes (i.e. "People just need to…").
Because of white social, economic and political power within a white dominant culture, whites are positioned to legitimize people of color's assertions of racism. Yet whites are the least likely to see, understand, or be invested in validating those assertions and being honest about their consequences, which leads whites to claim that they disagree with perspectives that challenge their worldview, when in fact, they don't understand the perspective.Thus, they confuse not understanding with not agreeing. This racial arrogance, coupled with the need for racial comfort, also has whites insisting that people of color explain white racism in the "right" way. The right way is generally politely and rationally, without any show of emotional upset. When explained in a way that white people can see and understand, racism's validity may be granted (references to dynamics of racism that white people do not understand are usually rejected out of hand). However, whites are usually more receptive to validating white racism if that racism is constructed as residing in individual white people other than themselves.
Thus, pointing out white advantage will often trigger patterns of confusion, defensiveness and righteous indignation.
When confronted with a challenge to white racial codes, many white liberals use the speech of self-defense (Van Dijk, 1992). This discourse enables defenders to protect their moral character against what they perceive as accusation and attack while deflecting any recognition of culpability or need of accountability. Focusing on restoring their moral standing through these tactics, whites are able to avoid the question of white privilege (Marty, 1999, Van Dijk, 1992).
The history of brutal, extensive, institutionalized and ongoing violence perpetrated by whites against people of color—slavery, genocide, lynching, whipping, forced sterilization and medical experimentation to mention a few—becomes profoundly trivialized when whites claim they don't feel safe or are under attack when in the rare situation of merely talking about race with people of color.
A continual retreat from the discomfort of authentic racial engagement results in a perpetual cycle that works to hold racism in place. While anti-racist efforts ultimately seek to transform institutionalized racism, anti-racist education may be most effective by starting at the micro level. The goal is to generate the development of perspectives and skills that enable all people, regardless of racial location, to be active initiators of change.
White racism is ultimately a white problem and the burden for interrupting it belongs to white people (Derman-Sparks & Phillips, 1997; hooks, 1995; Wise, 2003). Conversations about Whiteness might best happen within the context of a larger conversation about racism. It is useful to start at the micro level of analysis, and move to the macro, from the individual out to the interpersonal, societal and institutional. Starting with the individual and moving outward to the ultimate framework for racism – Whiteness – allows for the pacing that is necessary for many white people for approaching the challenging study of race. In this way, a discourse on Whiteness becomes part of a process rather than an event (Zúñiga, Nagda, & Sevig, 2002).
A macro-level analysis may offer a framework to understand different interpretations and performances across and between racial groups. In this way, all parties benefit and efforts are not solely focused on whites (which works to re-center Whiteness). Talking directly about white power and privilege, in addition to providing much needed information and shared definitions, is also in itself a powerful interruption of common (and oppressive) discursive patterns around race.
Viewing white anger, defensiveness, silence, and withdrawal in response to issues of race through the framework of White Fragility may help frame the problem as an issue of stamina-building, and thereby guide our interventions accordingly.

[1]Please look at several articles as well on American/Western will to world domination by clicking on "Selected Articles: Western Aggression Backed by Western Media". The series of articles is introduced thus:
The Western allies never run dry of resources to support their global war of terror and aggression, ostensibly an integral part of their foreign policy. They dynamically legislate laws lest the people awaken. They have the unbending support of the corporate media, which skilfully distorts reality. When will they ever back down from their destructive quest for colonies? Read our selection below.↩
[2]It continued:
'For seven months, Tiger Force soldiers moved across the Central Highlands, killing scores of unarmed civilians – in some cases torturing and mutilating them - in a spate of violence never revealed to the American public,' the newspaper said, at other points describing the killing of hundreds of unarmed civilians. 'Women and children were intentionally blown up in underground bunkers,' The Blade said. 'Elderly farmers were shot as they toiled in the fields. Prisoners were tortured and executed - their ears and scalps severed for souvenirs. One soldier kicked out the teeth of executed civilians for their gold fillings." The New York Times confirmed the claimed accuracy of the stories by contacting several of those interviewed. It reported: "But they wanted to make another point: that Tiger Force had not been a 'rogue' unit. Its members had done only what they were told, and their superiors knew what they were doing. "Burning huts and villages, shooting civilians and throwing grenades into protective shelters were common tactics for American ground forces throughout Vietnam, they said. That contention is backed up by accounts of journalists, historians and disillusioned troops… 'Vietnam was an atrocity from the get-go,' [one veteran] said in a recent telephone interview. 'It was that kind of war, a frontless war of great frustration. There were hundreds of My Lais. You got your card punched by the numbers of bodies you counted.' Current likely Democratic Presidential candidate John Kerry was also quoted giving evidence before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in 1971. He reported that American soldiers in Vietnam had "raped, cut off heads, taped wires from portable telephones to human genitals and turned up the power, cut off limbs, blown up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages in fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan, shot cattle and dogs for fun, poisoned food stocks and generally ravaged the countryside of South Vietnam in addition to the normal ravage of war, and the normal and very particular ravaging which is done by the applied bombing power of this country. Nicholas Turse [later author of: Kill Anything That Moves: The Real American War in Vietnam], a doctoral candidate at Columbia University, has been studying government archives and said they were filled with accounts of similar atrocities. ''I stumbled across the incidents The Blade reported,'' Mr. Turse said by telephone. ''I read through that case a year, year and a half ago, and it really didn't stand out. There was nothing that made it stand out from anything else. That's the scary thing. It was just one of hundreds.'' Yet there were few prosecutions.↩
[3]Historian John Coatsworth in The Cambridge History of the Cold War noted:
Between 1960, by which time the Soviets had dismantled Stalin's gulags, and the Soviet collapse in 1990, the numbers of political prisoners, torture victims, and executions of nonviolent political dissenters in Latin America vastly exceeded those of the Soviet Union and its East European satellites. In other words, from 1960 to 1990, the Soviet bloc as a whole was less repressive, measured in terms of human victims, than many individual Latin American countries [under direct sway of US Empire] ("The Cold War in Central America", pp. 216 - 221).
What was true for Latin America was true for around the world: massive human rights abuses, assassinations, regime changes of democratically elected governments, etc., etc., etc. orchestrated by US Empire. Yet Americans invariably have wanted it both ways: to be seen as the exemplary "City on A Hill" that upholds universal human rights and democracy, while operating a brutal Empire directly contrary to all such elevated values, and a concomitant rapacious Empire market economy that takes no prisoners. This began of course even before the founding of the United States of America and continued apace, in its mass slaughter and dispossession of indigenous peoples, in its brutal system of slavery on which its obscene wealth in the textile industry in the first place was built. "The Land of the Free" conceit was a sustained con job on the part of America's leaders. It was also apotheosis of hypocrisy. American exceptionalism was/is true in one respect only: it was brutal like no other Empire in its eventual global reach.↩

[4] The highlighted article about renowned whistle-blower Daniel Ellsberg points to again what is utterly chilling, horror-filled, exponentially beyond immoral, American (hence the world's) reality: "Daniel Ellsberg: U.S. Military Planned First Strike On Every City In Russia and China … and Gave Many Low-Level Field Commanders the Power to Push the Button". [5]He has since written The Doomsday Machine: Confessions of a Nuclear War Planner. Of it we read:
Shortlisted for the 2018 Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Nonfiction Finalist for the California Book Award in Nonfiction The San Francisco Chronicle's Best of 2017 List In These Times "Best Books of 2017" Huffington Post's Ten Excellent December Books List LitHub's "Five Books Making News This Week" From the legendary whistle-blower who revealed the Pentagon Papers, an eyewitness exposé of the dangers of America's Top Secret, seventy-year-long nuclear policy that continues to this day. Here, for the first time, former high-level defense analyst Daniel Ellsberg reveals his shocking firsthand account of America's nuclear program in the 1960s. From the remotest air bases in the Pacific Command, where he discovered that the authority to initiate use of nuclear weapons was widely delegated, to the secret plans for general nuclear war under Eisenhower, which, if executed, would cause the near-extinction of humanity, Ellsberg shows that the legacy of this most dangerous arms buildup in the history of civilization--and its proposed renewal under the Trump administration--threatens our very survival. No other insider with high-level access has written so candidly of the nuclear strategy of the late Eisenhower and early Kennedy years, and nothing has fundamentally changed since that era.↩
[6]A classic instance of this aligning with "just war" is the United States' "war on drugs" as subset of "war on crime", while at the same time the CIA was a major worldwide drug dealer in league with other drug cartels -- all done to enhance American Empire during the Cold War -- and continues to the present. The four-part series mentioned below connects American Empire drug dealing to the current War on Terror, in particular in Afghanistan. This of course is colossal hypocrisy as well. Worse: the series posits American federal government administrations over many decades as the Ultimate Drug Cartel, with Blacks, Latinos, and generally the poor directly being knowingly poisoned en masse. Then they have been primary targets of the Drug Enforcement Agency, and thereby become victims of America's too often savage prison system that oppresses and brutalizes them all over again... See: "The War on Drugs Is a Failure, So [Attorney General] Jeff Sessions Is All for It". A citation from the article reads:
In June [2017], the History Channel aired a four-part documentary series called America's War on Drugs." The series asserts that the war on drugs was actually a war of drugs—and that the CIA was essentially a partner in spreading drugs and drug use. The series follows how the U.S. intelligence agency, in an obsession with fighting communism, allied itself with U.S. organized crime and foreign drug traffickers and includes firsthand accounts from many involved. In an interview with Truthdig columnist Sonali Kolhatkar on her radio program "Rising Up With Sonali," the series' executive producer, Anthony Lappé, explains why the CIA got involved:
It's actually a pretty mind-blowing story when you look at the extent to which the CIA was involved with drug traffickers and drug trafficking throughout the Cold War. … If you look at Cold War policy against the Soviet Union, we were locked in a global battle for supremacy, where we have lots of proxy wars going on. … We needed to team up with local allies, and often the local allies we were teaming up with were people who had access to guns, who had access to underground networks, to help us fight the perceived threat of communism. There are actually a lot of similarities between what drug traffickers do and what the CIA does.
Lappé elaborates by saying the hypocrisy of the war on drugs has been evident from the start: Secret CIA experiments with LSD helped fuel the counterculture movement, leading to President Richard Nixon's crackdown and declaration of the war on drugs. The series also explores the CIA's role in the rise of crack cocaine in poor black communities and a secret island "cocaine base." In addition the documentary makes the connection between the war on drugs, the war on terror and the transformation of Afghanistan into a narco state and contends that American intervention in Mexico helped give clout to Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán and the super cartels, making it easier to send drugs across American borders. Watch Kolhatkar's full interview with Lappé by clicking here. Please also see the now classic: The Politics of Heroin: CIA Complicity in the Global Drug Trade, by noted American historian Alfred McCoy. Of it we read:
The first book to prove CIA and U.S. government complicity in global drug trafficking, The Politics of Heroin includes meticulous documentation of dishonesty and dirty dealings at the highest levels from the Cold War until today. Maintaining a global perspective, this groundbreaking study details the mechanics of drug trafficking in Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and South and Central America. New chapters detail U.S. involvement in the narcotics trade in Afghanistan and Pakistan before and after the fall of the Taliban, and how U.S. drug policy in Central America and Colombia has increased the global supply of illicit drugs.
To be noted as well is Johann Hari's Chasing The Scream, which tells the tragic tale of America's long-standing offensive against drugs, and the way to end such a war worldwide -- that several nations are successfully embracing.↩

Sign on Letter to Amplify Trafficking Survivor Voices
February 3, 2013 • 8:00 am • ATEST • United States
Almost 14 years after the passage of the Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act of 2000, there is now a substantial group of identified survivors of human trafficking who are willing and capable of informing policy, shaping programmatic and funding decisions, providing training and technical assistance, and leading educational efforts. Human trafficking survivors are in the best position to speak to policies and programs that will have the greatest impact. H.R. 500 would establish a platform for survivors to review federal, state, and local government anti-trafficking policy and strengthen the U.S. government's efforts to combat this crime.

Published in the June 13, 2019, edition of the Lyons Recorder.
COMMENTARY: What's the future of affordable housing in Lyons?
In 2015, Governor John Hickenlooper announced "Space to Create, Colorado," a state program to develop affordable housing and working space for artists and arts organizations. The program sends a call for applications periodically, for each of Colorado's Division of Local Affairs regional groups.
This option could still be an opportunity for Lyons. So far a demonstration project was launched in July 2015 in Trinidad, and then Ridgway was the community selected in the Southwest region and Paonia was selected for Northwest region. Last fall, Grand Lake was announced as the community selected in the Northern Colorado region. Lyons is part of the North Central region, which includes Adams, Boulder, Broomfield, Gilpin, Larimer, and Weld counties, and applications have not opened for that region yet.
The communities within each region compete, and the selected towns work with Artspace, the partner for the "Space to Create, Colorado" program, for consulting on feasibility analysis of creative sector workforce space, community engagement work, and an arts market survey.
This is not a grant program where towns win funds. In fact, they have to have to bring some of their own resources to the table such as available property, buildings, and funding, according to Margaret Hunt, director of Colorado Creative Industries in the state's Office of Economic Development, when I talked to her after the program was first announced. She said the program also looks at concentrations of artists in the community.
To be competitive in this process, Lyons should have a parcel of land ready and possibly some other funding sources. The first step will be an arts market and feasibility study that a community must pay for, Hunt said, regardless of whether a community wins the grant. However, there might be some other state funds to cover those study costs. Hunt said that each project will have unique funding, depending on the town's resources. The project may or may not include low income housing tax credits or historic preservation tax credits. Feasibility and arts market studies may require $35,000 in local matching funds and the municipality must be the applicant to receive state funding
During the development of the Recovery Action Plan, "artist live-work housing" was a goal, and town officials said they should keep the Space to Create opportunity on the radar. I'm wondering whether any affordable housing that eventually goes on the eastern corridor could work with this program. On the Artspace website I found that "development projects typically involve the adaptive reuse of older buildings but can also involve new construction."
According to the Space to Create website at coloradocreativeindustries.org/opportunities/space-to-create, criteria for selection of communities includes concentration of creative sector workforce, availability of historic buildings for adaptive re-use, available developable property, commitment of local resources by local governing body, and a demonstrated ability to execute community-based initiatives such as the Main Street and Creative District programs.
Lyons lost about 76 to 94 destroyed homes in the 2013 flood. In March 2015, a proposal for using part of Bohn Park to build subsidized, affordable Boulder County Housing Authority rentals and some Habitat for Humanity for-sale affordable homes (a total of 50-70 homes) was rejected in a town vote, 614 to 498. However, $4 million of federal Community Development Block Grant – Disaster Recovery funds were still set aside for affordable housing in Lyons, and the State Housing Board voted in February to approve Summit Housing Group's application for those funds for building 11 single family homes and 29 homes in multifamily buildings on land the company plans to buy in Lyons Valley Park. Until Summit's proposal, a few concepts for subsidized affordable rentals were pursued, but nothing got very far in the process.
The only post-flood, deed-restricted, permanently affordable housing actually in the construction phase is at 112, 114, and 116 Park Street where Habitat for Humanity of the St. Vrain Valley is building three duplexes (a total of six, for-sale homes) on six residential lots. The first duplex was completed in April 2019, and more volunteer help is needed to finish the other buldings. At www.stvrainhabitat.org/construction, after clicking FLOOD REBUILD-LYONS, volunteers can review all volunteer days with openings and sign up for one or more of the specific days they are available. Help is most needed on weekdays. For any questions, contact Rebecca Shannon, Community Engagement Manager, Habitat for Humanity of the St. Vrain Valley, at 303-682-2485.

Could Make It Right or Space to Create, Colorado help Lyons?
AmyReinholds, artist-live-work, artspace, makeitright, spacetocreate
Published in the August 19, 2015, edition of the Redstone Review.
LYONS – The rezoning and subdivision process on the former Valley Bank parcel for residential lots for six homes to sell to Habitat for Humanity hasn't started yet, other than a pre-application meeting. As of Aug. 12, Town Planner Bob Joseph was waiting for a submittal from the land owner, Planet Bluegrass. When a public hearing is scheduled, notices will be published at least 10 days before the Planning and Community Development Commission meeting. Habitat for Humanity of the St. Vrain Valley is completing an environmental review, required because the group will use federal disaster recovery funds. A southeast portion of the land is in the 100-year floodplain, so mitigation steps for building the new homes must be detailed. I hope the rezoning/subdivision process moves quickly and that six households out of the 100 who lost their homes in the flood two years ago will live there one day.
In the meantime, what are other options to add back the remaining number of lost affordable homes in Lyons? The special housing committee has been looking at all sites previously considered. The Lyons Board of Trustees voted to enter into a contract with the City of Longmont to buy the former Longmont water treatment parcels east of town (on the condition that the town is granted federal disaster recovery funds), and maybe residential could be incorporated with commercial development there.
Recently, people have asked me about two nonprofit programs that provide affordable housing: the Make It Right nonprofit organization that was started in New Orleans by actor Brad Pitt in 2007 and "Space to Create, Colorado," a state program to develop affordable housing and work space for artists and arts organizations, announced July 28 by Governor John Hickenlooper.
Make It Right has built more than 100 homes in New Orleans, starting two years after Hurricane Katrina, and now, almost 10 years after the disaster, is continuing to build there and in other regions. Make It Right builds affordable and environmentally sustainable homes with local partners. All homes the organization builds receive platinum certification from Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED).
"We are very excited for the savings for homeowners (or renters) because the utility bills are much lower than they have been paying," said Melanie Klein, a project manager and landscape architect who has worked on projects in Kansas City and Fort Peck, Montana.
To bring Make It Right to Lyons, our community would need to have both a site identified and a developer partner. "We would want to work with a partner based locally in Colorado," Klein said.
For example, in Fort Peck, Make It Right works with Integrated Solutions, owned by members of the Assiniboine and Sioux tribes, which has built other affordable housing. Fort Peck, in northeast Montana, is located near the reservation, and housing prices are soaring as oil workers in booming Williston, more than 100 miles to the east in North Dakota, are moving to Fort Peck because of housing shortages.
If the special housing committee – or other community members – find a site and a developer partner, Make It Right could be invited to evaluate a proposal.
A little closer to home, but partnering with nonprofit Artspace, based in Minnesota, is "Space to Create, Colorado." For four years, the state program will open applications to communities in two of Colorado's Division of Local Affairs regional groups each year. The North Central region that Lyons is a part of includes Adams, Boulder, Broomfield, Gilpin, Larimer, and Weld counties.
"The communities within each region will complete," said Margaret Hunt, director of Colorado Creative Industries in the state's Office of Economic Development. "The program will look at resources the applicant brings in terms of property, buildings, and funding… and will also look at concentrations of artists in the community."
To be competitive in this process, Lyons should have a parcel of land ready and possibly some other funding sources. The first step will be an arts market and feasibility study that a community must pay for, but there might be other state funds to cover those study costs. Hunt advised that communities interested in the program should get a steering committee together to prepare.
At the Aug. 4 meeting of the Lyons Arts and Humanities Commission, the commissioners discussed how pursuing artist housing would fall under its umbrella as a subcommittee, because a Recovery Action Plan item to create live-work space affordable for artists was assigned to the commission in 2014. I also reached out to Susanne Ducker, a new member appointed to the special housing committee who is interested in participating, and Jay Malito, chair of the Economic Development Commission, who is interested in having his commission represented on the group. Jacque Watson, staff liaison to the Arts and Humanities Commission, Lyons Housing Recovery Coordinator Cody Humphrey, and Joseph are all following the program closely.
Artspace owns and operates 26 artist live-work projects across the country, a majority affordable to households earning at or below 60% of the Area Median Income of each local area. According to http://www.artspace.org, anyone who qualifies for affordable housing can apply for residency in an Artspace project, but the organization gives preference to "applicants who participate in and are committed to the arts."
Keep following my columns in both Lyons papers for updates about what has and has not been accomplished to increase affordable housing stock in Lyons. All housing committee meetings are open to the public and published at www.townoflyons.com/calendar. The next working meeting is 8:30 p.m. on Thursday, August 20, at the Lyons Valley Village Community House. The next special housing committee meeting at the Town Hall annex (behind the Barking Dog Cafe) is scheduled for Wednesday, Aug. 26 at 5:30 p.m.


Last month I was honoured to take part and model for an interesting, unique and colourful project – the Harajuku Fashion Concept.
Many or most of you have probably heard of the term, harajuku, before and for the majority, upon hearing the term, thoughts of bright colours, neon, patterns and pretty Japanese faces probably come to mind. To me, these were the images that always flashed to my mind. After taking part in this project, fascinated by all the garish and wild colours, fashion statements and diverse senses of style I decided to research further about harajuku, it's theme and the significance it holds for so many people around the world.
To begin with, harajuku is situated in Tokyo, and represents a specific geographic area that spreads from Harajuku station to Omotesando. Harajuku is known internationally as a center of Japanese youth culture and fashion. Shopping and dining options include many small, youth oriented, independent boutiques and cafés, but the neighborhood also attracts many larger international chain stores with high-end luxury merchandisers extensively represented along Omotesando. Okay so you get all that, and you are now wondering to yourself, well why is Harajuku so famous, don't we have small areas like this specifically for the youth in every city in every country all over the world? Well here is the secret behind it…Like the vast majority of the Earthly population, Japan is filled with a population diverse with unique people, however, as we all know too well, the pressure of civilisation, peers, jobs and every day life pushes us all to act the same, be the same, dress the same, hiding our imaginative creativity behind closed doors where very few people will ever discover the real us. For the people of Japan, Harajuku changed this. Every single Sunday, at the same time, all the youths will get together dressed in all sorts of creative, funky, and colourful ways to celebrate and reveal an artsy side which we are unable to portray in our every day lives. Harajuku became a worldwide symbol of uniqueness from this tradition onwards and for that reason holds a great significance to many people around the world, especially the greater fans of Harajuku, it's lifestyle, fashion, themes and concepts.
Now let's talk about this project, The Harajuku fashion concept, my part was the easy part, I had my hair style, make – up applied, dressed and finally all I had to do was pose for the camera. The hard part of my look was achieved by 3 important people. The hairdresser, the make-up artist and most importantly the head of the project – the designer.
The morning of the shooting started early with the hair – simple, flattened and scraped down into dreadlocks, bright coloured plaits and lego…yes that's right, LEGO! Intricately weaved into the dreadlocks, by the nimble fingers of Razwan Sabau, a hairdresser new to Cluj-Napoca. I truly admired the skill he had in transforming my plain straight locks into something so colourful, yet rugged and editorial in a classy coutoured way, not overdone, yet a style that is classical with unique touches, just perfect for the project we were working on…well you'll see for yourself the harajuku inspired hair do in the shots below.
The make up, may seem seemingly simple, however, it was a bit of a mental debate for the talented make – up artist Ioana Malai, in charge of achieving my look. The look, had to be bold, daring colours, of course…that gave an abstract feel but without stealing any limelight from the facial features. If that didn't sound hard enough, then my chocolate skin colour also had to be taken into consideration when achieving this look. For all you dark skinned girls out there, you know the what I'm talking about. So let's recap, bold, daring, extravagant, yet simple, editorial, yet at the same time contrasting…to the other colours and my chocolatey skin. Did she do good? She did awesome. Enhancing and darkening my skin tone for contrast, then, using mostly pinks, oranges and the complimentary undertones, she managed to achieve a highly editorial look, that bought out the most dominant features; eyes, lips and jawline. Ioana is a well known make-up artist in Cluj, that works on contract as well as freelance and has worked with many known faces throughout the city. If you don't know her, then you can find her and check out her work on both facebook and instagram.
Arabela Sim, if the name sounds familiar, there's a great reason why. An upcoming fashion designer, studying at the heart of Cluj, Arabela has already had mentions in BAZAAR, COSMOPOLITAN and GLAMOUR magazine, ro. A true talent in her chosen department and passion, she was the mastermind behind the project and basically threw it all together. She completed the look by choosing bright items of clothing for the model (me) to wear and arranging them in a way that added a subtle European touch of elegance to the original Harajuku inspired theme. Her aim was to combine her fashion knowledge and discpline with a given theme, and she did exactly that. A designer with true talent and an awesome personality to work with!
So there we had it, bright colours, contrasts, funky hair, European hints mixed with Harajuku inspiration…Look complete!
This project took a combination of great personalities and great talent to put it all together and it was a wonderful experience throughout, below are some shots of the final look, enjoy!


Archimedes' principle indicates that the upward buoyant force that is exerted on a body immersed in a fluid, whether fully or partially submerged, is equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces and it acts in the upward direction at the centre of mass of the displaced fluid. Archimedes' principle is a law of physics fundamental to fluid mechanics. It was formulated by Archimedes of Syracuse.
Practically, the Archimedes' principle allows the buoyancy of an object partially or fully immersed in a liquid to be calculated. The downward force on the object is simply its weight. The upward, or buoyant force on the object is that stated by Archimedes' principle, above. Thus the net upward force on the object is the difference between the buoyant force and its weight. If this net force is positive, the object rises; if negative, the object sinks; and if zero, the object is neutrally buoyant - that is, it remains in place without either rising or sinking. In simple words, Archimedes' principle states that when a body is partially or completely immersed in a fluid, it experiences an apparent loss in weight which is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the immersed part of the body.
The weight of the displaced fluid is directly proportional to the volume of the displaced fluid (if the surrounding fluid is of uniform density). The weight of the object in the fluid is reduced, because of the force acting on it, which is called upthrust. In simple terms, the principle states that the buoyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object, or the density of the fluid multiplied by the submerged volume times the gravitational constant, g. Thus, among completely submerged objects with equal masses, objects with greater volume have greater buoyancy.
Suppose a rock's weight is measured as 10 newtons when suspended by a string in a vacuum with gravity acting on it. Suppose that when the rock is lowered into water, it displaces water of weight 3 newtons. The force it then exerts on the string from which it hangs would be 10 newtons minus the 3 newtons of buoyant force: 10 − 3 = 7 newtons. Buoyancy reduces the apparent weight of objects that have sunk completely to the sea floor. It is generally easier to lift an object up through the water than it is to pull it out of the water.
In other words, for an object floating on a liquid surface (like a boat) or floating submerged in a fluid (like a submarine in water or dirigible in air) the weight of the displaced liquid equals the weight of the object. Thus, only in the special case of floating does the buoyant force acting on an object equal the objects weight. Consider a 1-ton block of solid iron. As iron is nearly eight times denser than water, it displaces only 1/8 ton of water when submerged, which is not enough to keep it afloat. Suppose the same iron block is reshaped into a bowl. It still weighs 1 ton, but when it is put in water, it displaces a greater volume of water than when it was a block. The deeper the iron bowl is immersed, the more water it displaces, and the greater the buoyant force acting on it. When the buoyant force equals 1 ton, it will sink no farther.
When any boat displaces a weight of water equal to its own weight, it floats. This is often called the "principle of flotation": A floating object displaces a weight of fluid equal to its own weight. Every ship, submarine, and dirigible must be designed to displace a weight of fluid at least equal to its own weight. A 10,000-ton ship must be built wide enough to displace 10,000 tons of water before it sinks too deep in the water. The same is true for vessels in air: a dirigible that weighs 100 tons needs to displace 100 tons of air. If it displaces more, it rises; if it displaces less, it falls. If the dirigible displaces exactly its weight, it hovers at a constant altitude.
It is important to realize that, while they are related to it, the principle of flotation and the concept that a submerged object displaces a volume of fluid equal to its own volume are not Archimedes' principle. Archimedes' principle, as stated above, equates the buoyant force to the weight of the fluid displaced.
One common point of confusion regarding Archimedes' principle is the meaning of displaced volume. Common demonstrations involve measuring the rise in water level when an object floats on the surface in order to calculate the displaced water.This measurement approach fails with a buoyant submerged object because the rise in the water level is directly related to the volume of the object and not the mass (except if the effective density of the object equals exactly the fluid density). Instead, in the case of submerged buoyant objects, the whole volume of fluid directly above the sample should be considered as the displaced volume. Another common point of confusion regarding Archimedes' principle is that it only applies to submerged objects that are buoyant, not sunk objects. In the case of a sunk object the mass of displaced fluid is less than the mass of the object and the difference is associated with the object's potential energy.

North Carolina English, 1861-1865: A Guide and Glossary
edited by Michael E. Ellis
foreword by Stephen Berry
eISBN: 978-1-62190-017-7 | Cloth: 978-1-62190-002-3
Library of Congress Classification PE3101.N76E55 2013
Dewey Decimal Classification 427.9756
ABOUT THIS BOOK | AUTHOR BIOGRAPHY
In North Carolina English, 1861–1865, Michael E. Ellis offers an Oxford English Dictionary–like take on regional language based on more than two thousand letters and diaries composed by North Carolinians during the Civil War. These documents are part of a larger project, the Corpus of American Civil War Letters (CACWL), aimed at locating, photographing, and transcribing letters written during the period from all parts of the country. With little formal education, the correspondents were men and women who wrote "by ear," often reproducing their spoken language through unconventional spellings and grammatical forms, as well as regional or archaic words and usages.
The core of the book is an alphabetically arranged glossary of words and expressions characteristic of mid–nineteenth century North Carolina, each containing excerpts from the letters themselves to illustrate meaning and usage. While the majority of the writers were Confederate soldiers and their family members, the collection also includes letters from slaves, former slaves, and African Americans from North Carolina serving in the Union Army. The soldiers' letters rarely contain details about battles, except to list the names of relatives or neighbors among the killed or wounded. After a battle, a soldier might simply write, "the Like of ded men an horses I never saw before" or "we hav lost a heep of men and kild a heep of yankeys." As Joel Howard of Lincoln County wrote home in June 1863, "I have bin in the ware and Saw the ware and heard tell of the ware till I have got tired of it. if I Could get clear of this ware I neve[r] want to Read of A nother."
Food is perhaps the most common topic, followed by illness. Numerous terms relate to farming, clothing, religion, and the effects of the war itself, as well as entries for expressions that have long since disappeared from American English: in the gants, on the goose, and up the spout.
In addition to the glossary, Ellis offers an extensive overview of North Carolina English of the period, delves into the social background of the letter writers, and provides invaluable guidance to the ways in which Civil War letters should be read. A unique window into a largely neglected corner of our extraordinarily rich and regionally distinct language, this volume will prove an indispensable reference for scholars and students seeking to reconstruct the world of the common Civil War soldier.
Michael E. Ellis is professor of English at Missouri State University in Springfield. He is the author of the glossary for an electronic version of Beowulf and has published articles in Anglia, American Speech, and Appalachian Journal.

Review: Storm Cursed
Series: Mercy Thompson: #11
Series: Mercy Thompson World: #16
Mercy Thompson
Mercy Thompson World
It's been a while since my last re-read/listen through the Mercy Thompson books. I had forgotten just host much things had been changing on a larger world building scale in the last few books: since Mercy put herself and her pack on the line defending the people and territory of the Columbia Basin, things have gotten complicated. And dark. And did I mention complicated?
It's fascinating world building.
I think my favorite thing about the series remains the fact that the Fae have been out for decades and the werewolves for years now. There are still a few oddities/things that haven't seemed to change as much I think they would. But it's great to read about. And here, with all three groups coming to the table for actual negotiations and politics? Fascinating.
I also love hearing more about goblins and witches. Especially after seeing so many of the witch plotlines from the Alpha & Omega point of view, seeing Mercy's different background with witches (Elizaveta!) and take on their powers is wonderful. It's fascinating seeings how big of players witches are becoming in both universes despite only very rarely being core characters / never points of view.
Also… so much more Wulfe. I… have no idea what to think about him. As with many of the very old in the Mercy Thompson universe, he actually does feel just off enough to actually be his age. And it makes me want to know so much more…
"A lot of what I know about the witches comes from Wikipedia; it told me > that coven had thirteen witches."
"I get the best spells from Wiki," Wulfe said. "Have you read what it says about werewolves? I keep editing the article, but someone - and I think it's Bran Cornick - keeps changing it back."
Oh Wulfe.

1979 '79 Vintage MXR Phase 100. With 9V adapter plug!
Here we have an incredibly lush-sounding 1979 '79 vintage MXR Phase 100 phaser in terrific condition. This is the pedal that was on Jerry Garcia's board in the 1970s. It packs tons of warm, lush, organic phase tones into a medium-sized indestructible case. It includes knobs for sweep depth and speed. Also, this one has been modded to include a very well installed 9V adapter plug. I know that purists and collectors might be opposed to such elective surgery but for players....c'mon now, who enjoys changing batteries or worrying when your battery is going to cut out. I have an unmolested '78 Phase 100 and this one, and which one do you think is on my board? Yep, the one with the 9V plug! For convenience and vintage tone, you can't beat this pedal.

Oklahoma (11-1) is ranked No. 5 ahead of No. 6 Ohio State (11-1) in the College Football Playoff rankings, and Sooners reporter Ryan Aber believes the committee got it right.
Indeed, Ohio State lost 49-20 to Purdue (6-6) in West Lafayette. On the flip side, Oklahoma's defense has allowed an average of 47.3 points over its last four games.
Several NFL teams are reportedly interested in hiring Lincoln Riley, but Aber believes the 35-year-old will remain at Oklahoma.
"I think the chances are he's back in Norman," he said. "There's been a lot of talk about that Cleveland Browns job, especially with his connections with Baker Mayfield and how close they've been, and also with the way that Big 12-style offenses have exploded in the NFL. There was some talk about possibly a Dallas Cowboys job. I think that one would be more attractive to Lincoln Riley, but Jason Garrett might have saved his job there.


A lot of companies are wary of making the jump towards installing a commercial solar power unit due to concerns about the initial investment required, alongside a range of other factors. However, in an increasingly environmentally-aware climate, couple with the constant need of many companies or electric power, they are becoming much more feasible as a solution when compared to more traditional systems.
Lower Electricity BillsAs such, there are a number of benefits to commercial solar power that businesses should take into account when assessing their energy needs and the systems they can out in place to ensure that they have everything that they require. The following are some of the key advantages that solar have over other power systems.
Paying for electricity is one of the largest ongoing costs that many businesses are going to have to face and the bills are only going to get larger as the business continues to expand. A good solar power system has the ability to massively reduce your energy bills, even pulling them down to zero in many cases.
This saving can have a tremendous impact in the long-term running of the business and will quickly allow you to make back the money that you spend on the initial investment. Companies like http://sunbugsolar.com are able to install systems that essentially future-proof your company, allowing you to generate electricity at such a rate that you essentially pre-pay for decades worth of bills as part of the cost of installation.
As such, you can expect your bills to be much lower once you make the switch to commercial solar power, which allows you to save more money that can be used however you see fit. This means that such a system not only reduces your overheads, but increases your ability to invest elsewhere, thus allowing for further expansion of the company in some cases.
The return on investment when making the switch to commercial solar power has already been covered, but this is not the only way that such a system can offer you excellent returns on the money you pay during the initial stages of the transition.
Not only will you make savings on your energy bills, but you also make the building a much more attractive prospect for future buyers. Regardless of how stable you believe your company is, changing market conditions could mean that you need to sell at some point in the future. With a solar power system in place you will be able to command a higher price from potential buyers, who will be secure in the knowledge that they will save money in the long-term thanks to the installation.
Furthermore, they also make a sound investment for building managers who are looking to rent out office space. Companies will find the idea of lower energy bills extremely attractive when looking for space to rent, so if you can offer that by way of a commercial solar system, you will be able to attract more demand for the building that you manage. This increased demand can have an effect on the prices that you charge for other facilities, while the money you save can be invested back into the building to make it an even more attractive prospect.
If we disregard the much higher energy bills that companies using traditional systems are likely to have to pay, there are also overheads involved when it comes to properly maintaining older power systems. In many cases such systems will have been a part of the building for many years and will thus deteriorate over time due to extended periods of use. If you own the building, the odds are high that you are going to have to carry out fairly regular maintenance work, which bumps your overheads up even more and takes a sizable chunk out of the company's revenue.
However, with a commercial solar power system the issue of maintenance essentially becomes a thing of the past. As long as the installation is carried out to the proper professional standards, you should find That your solar panels have a minimum lifespan of 20 years, with many being able to generate all of the electricity your business needs for as many as 40 years. This drastically cuts down on the amount of money you are going to need to put aside to deal with power issues for the building.
We touched on the issue of environmental awareness a little earlier on and it is something that is becoming an increasing concern for many companies in the modern world. On a practical level, a commercial solar power system allows for you to reduce your reliance on costly fossil fuels. Not only does this pull down your bills, but it also means that you get to market yourself as an environmentally conscious company that is doing everything it can to battle the hazards presented by the issue of global warming. It also means that you no longer need to rely on external suppliers for your energy, creating a self-sustaining flow of electricity for the company.
Coming back to the marketing point for a moment, businesses will also find that such systems are an excellent public relations tool. Many people make decisions based on the effect that they will have on the environment, which means that there is a sizable portion of potential customers who are more likely to make use of the services that your company has to offer simply because you have established yourself as environmentally aware. Simply put, it is a win-win situation in terms of cutting down business costs and improving the marketability of your company.
Commercial solar power is becoming increasingly popular because of the reasons that have been touched upon here. Furthermore, you will find that many states offer rebates and other incentives for companies that are looking to go solar, which often cover much of the initial cost in addition to making the long-term prospects of such a system even more appealing.

Husband of Missing Mom Leaves Utah, Lawyer Says
SALT LAKE CITY – A Utah man considered a person of interest in the disappearance of his wife has left the state with the couple's two young children, his attorney said Sunday.
Josh Powell's attorney, Scott Williams, said in a text message to The Associated Press that his client went to his father's house in Washington state for the holidays with his sons.
Powell's wife Susan has been missing since Dec. 7. Josh Powell told police he last saw her at 12:30 a.m. that day when he took their sons on a camping trip and left her at home.
Police have called Josh Powell a person of interest and said he was not forthcoming in interviews with detectives.
Susan Powell's parents and siblings, who also live in Washington state, have said that they were saddened that Josh Powell had been named a person of interest, but not surprised. The family and Susan Powell's friends were planning a candlelight vigil Sunday night in Puyallup, Wash.
Williams said he was unsure whether Josh Powell planned to attend.
West Valley City police Capt. Tom McLachlan on Sunday said there are no restrictions on Josh Powell's movements.
"He can come and go as he pleases," McLachlan said, adding that police would still like to speak with him again.

World's Biggest And Eco-Friendly Cruise Ship Plans Revealed
By Taylor McAdams - June 22, 2017
Launching sometime during 2022 and 2026, MSC Cruises has an environmentally-friendly cruise ship in the works which will be able to contain up to 6,850 passengers, an astounding amount.
Although only one computer-generated imagery of the exterior has been distributed, and no further details regarding on-board facilities have been released, MSC has said passengers can "expect the unexpected". MSC's flagship, Meraviglia, was launched on June 3rd, 2017 and consists of two levels of motley stores, restaurants and bars.
Italian actress Sophia Loren lofted Meraviglia, as the idea of having exquisite, authentic dining options in 12 distinct venues was close to her heart. Another vessel launching in 2019 will carry artworks from the Louvre and Prado on loan, in order to provide a more sophisticated experience for the on board travelers.
This 1,082 feet long, 154 feet wide ship with be powered by Liquefied Natural Gas, a clean-burning fossil fuel, a gross tonnage of about 200,000 GT and a new-generation waste-water treatment plants. The plans for this particular World Class ship fashioned a promise for a greener vacation option, without having to compromise on comfort or luxury. The future seems so bright, four ships of this same model are on the docket.
"My dream is to build ships with zero impact on the environment," said executive chairman Pierfrancesco Vago.
Still unnamed, the design for this ship model will be similar to the Royal Caribbean's Oasis Class ships, including inward cabins with extravagant balconies and other features, yet will probably not consist of the Central Park area and Boardwalk. Size-wise, this model wins by a landslide every other cruise ship available to mankind. The ecological benefits are undeniable, and if financially successful, this ship may be the beginning of a greener era.
The cruise ship field is a highly competitive one, each attempting to provide its customers with the best experience, integrating style, comfort, luxury and entertainment. For example, Le Lapérouse, a new ship from French cruise line Ponant next year, will have a lounge with portholes in its hull and hydrophones beneath the keel so passengers can see and hear life beneath the waves. P&O Cruises is building an LNG-powered ship with a glass entertainment dome and a half-mile outdoor promenade with alfresco restaurants.
In the meantime, all we have left to do is sit back and wait for the most palatial, sumptuous cruise ship to drift our way, guaranteeing a vacation to remember for many years to come.

Why Would You Ever Give Students API Access To The Student Information System (SIS), And Let Them Build Un-Sanctioned Apps That We Will End Up Having To Support?
I went up to California State University Channel Islands the other day to talk APIs with their tech team, and I was happy to find at least one strong API skeptic on the team. API skeptics also give me material for stories, so I thoroughly enjoy coming across them, and telling these stories is how keep polishing my argument for the next API skeptic encounter at campus IT, at the higher educational institutions that I visit.
During the discussion I was posed several interesting questions, and one of them was: why would you ever give students API access to the Student Information System (SIS), and let them build un-sanctioned apps that we will end up have to support?
FERPA gives students the right to review, control disclosure, and request amendment of their education record. Increasingly this is going beyond just via a web interface, PDF, or printed copies. President Barack Obama mandated that all federal agencies begin providing information in machine readable formats, and many cities and states are putting it into law as well. A student should always have access to their data, and they should be able to choose to do this via campus applications, or be able to obtain a portable copy of their record for storage in a location of their choosing, or possible use within a 3rd party system of their choice—it's their data. Period.
Modern API management infrastructure like 3Scale, and WSO2, provide an unprecedented level of control over managing API access, requiring secure on-boarding of new developers, the establishment of service composition definitions, which provides rich real-time analytics on how APIs are used, and by whom—while also seamlessly integrating with existing identity and access management solutions. The university gets to choose who has access to which services, revoke access when abused, while also better understanding how resources are really being accessed and put to use. Ideally this applies to all campus-wide usage, as well as with external 3rd parties—modern approaches to API-centric operations, include the management of internal, partner, and public resources in this way.
Modern API management was born out of traditional IT governance, but is something that is more focused on giving access and control to the end-users who are the actual owners, of the valuable data, content, and other digital resources being made available. Legacy campus IT models provide a governance model that involves IT, administrative and faculty stakeholders, but rarely includes the students. APIs give students secure access to their data, and standards like oAuth opens up the ability for them to have a vote in who has access to their data, with oAuth scope being defined by existing institutional governance efforts. When APIs enter the conversation, governance expands to be more self-service, real-time, and within the control of students, as well as administrators, faculty, and campus IT.
In the current educational environment, where students are often more tech savvy than faculty and administrators, why would we want to eliminate serendipity, and the possibility that new things might happen. Solutions to problems that students actually face everyday, that campus administrator may never think of, because they see technology through a very different lens. The days where IT knows best, regarding what devices, browsers, apps, and websites are optimal for getting things done, are in the past. Shadow IT demonstrates this, where students, and even faculty are using un-sanctioned solutions to get their work done. Campus IT should be empowering students, encouraging a more digitally literate individual who soon will be entering the workforce, not suffocating this.
I am a recovering IT administrator, so I understand the challenges a skeptic campus IT administrator faces, but ultimately by restricting access to campus resources just makes your job harder, making you the bottleneck that everyone's so commonly complains about, when it comes to IT. APIs don't create more work for you, it makes you much more agile and nimble in how you integrate systems, build new web and mobile applications, and provide 3rd party vendors access to campus resources—as well as potentially opening up self-service access to students.
With an API-centric approach you will know exactly who is accessing resources, and how they are using them--in real-time. I'm betting that you don't have this visibility across all of your IT resources right now. When I put on my IT director hat, I prefer the API model, because then all resources are self-service, available to only those who SHOULD have access, all without them having to talk to me. I'm left alone to do what I do best, and can also monitor new signups, real-time usage, and manage support tickets in accordance with wider IT support strategies.
I understand you are a skeptic about APIs being a thing students should have access to, and in reality most students will not care, but there will be a long tail of student users who will do things you never imagined, and potentially change how you look at scheduling, document management, or other staples of campus operations—something that will never happen if you don't make students a priority when it comes to your digital resource management.
