We are a completely made-in-America operation
Suuchi Ramesh was born and educated in India. But her New Jersey-based clothing startup has one core goal: keep all of the manufacturing in-house and in the United States, by making it faster and smarter.
Powered in part by tech tools, Suuchi Inc. runs as a one-stop shop out of North Bergen handling fabric sourcing, product design, manufacturing and sales.
"We are a completely made-in-America operation and proud of it," Ramesh, 36, told CNNMoney.
Suuchi Inc., which launched in early 2015, specializes in limited quantity production of women's clothing, bags and a few home goods like cushion covers. The company sells not to customers but businesses: young designers launching their fashion labels, retailers who want to make private-label clothing in America and large firms supplying uniforms to the casino and hospitality industries.
Suuchi Inc. has 55 employees and expects to cross 100 by the end of 2017.
Ramesh currently employs 55 workers (80% of whom are women) and expects that figure to be higher than 100 by the end of 2017. She credits heavy investment from the beginning in tech and automation for her company's rapid growth.

"We have to use technology to make the process and people smarter. It's where manufacturing is headed," said Ramesh, who has a computer science degree as well as an M.B.A. She first came to the U.S. in 2006 to work as an analyst with Intel (INTC).
As a technologist, Ramesh employed modern tools from the start. Suuchi Inc. currently uses 100 different machines that enable 30% to 40% of the clothing production to be automated.
"Our effort is to reduce manual intervention and eventually introduce robotic technology and automation," Ramesh said.
80% of Suuchi Inc.'s workers are women.
For example, using digital fabric cutters instead of electric cutters creates precisely cut pieces for sewing more quickly. And by automating the process to make buttonholes, Ramesh has reduced labor time on pieces that include buttonholes by 40%.
"Eventually the goal is to move toward a world of reprogrammable robots for these processes," she said. "But it's important to note reprogrammable robots and machines will make our seamstresses smarter — not replace them."
She's also testing software she created to reduce the design time process and to create a garment sample from a 3D concept within 48 hours. "This is real speed to market," said Ramesh. "We're hoping to have our partners use the software in six weeks."

Speed to market is attracting clients. Even though using Suuchi Inc. costs her customers about 20% more compared to manufacturers in China or India, the math works for small-batch production: "By sourcing domestically, they get their orders faster and they save on shipping costs."
In the last nine months, the manufacturer has boosted production from 3,000 to 20,000 items a month for its nearly 100 clients. Ramesh estimates the company will hit sales of $2.7 million in 2017 and $7.5 million by the end of 2018.
Suuchi Ramesh, founder of Suuchi Inc.
It's a far cry from Suuchi Inc.'s beginnings. Frustrated by the difficulty she experienced finding outfits that fit her petite stature, Ramesh conceived of the startup idea: create custom garments quickly, efficiently and in a cost-effective way. She self-funded the company with $375,000 and leased a 2,000-square-foot space.
Since then, Suuchi Inc. has relocated to a 10,000-square-foot facility and recently received a bank loan to fund further growth.

Suuchi Inc. relies on automation and modern tech to make manufacturing smarter and faster.
Suuchi Inc.'s workforce is growing, too. Ramesh personally recruited most of her workers through word-of-mouth inquiries, posting flyers and advertising in local newspapers. The majority of her workforce is women because they have the skills she needs.
"The cut-and-sew talent is the lifeblood of our business and they are the toughest to find," she said, adding that her employees represent 19 nationalities.

Ramesh's own background continues to serve as a driving force for Suuchi Inc.
"Being an immigrant forces something out of you," she said. "I don't think I would have worked as hard in India, and I don't take my opportunities in America for granted."

The June election of Iranian cleric Hossan Rouhani to be Iran's next president sparked optimism among some analysts and diplomats that the Iranian regime may moderate its foreign policy posture. In the days after the election, however, journalism about Rouhani's past activities and statements by the president-elect himself tempered that optimism.
Rouhani had advocated executing anti-government dissidents, had been a top figure in Iranian bodies promoting global terrorism, and after the election had vowed to support Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad and Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah. Attention also shifted to the role of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who controls Tehran's foreign policy and had preemptively banned presidential candidates from making concessions to the West should they win.
Foreign policy analysts and diplomats look set to continue debating the extent to which Rouhani is willing or able to move Iran in a new direction.
The Israel Project hosted a panel discussion examining Iran's political and military echelons, which will enable or constrain the policies of Rouhani's administration. Iran experts Karoline Henriques and Behnam Ben Taleblu discussed key figures in the Iranian establishment and the roles they will likely play.
Karoline Henriques joined The Israel Project (TIP) in 2011 to work on Iran and regional geo-strategic affairs. Working out of TIP's Jerusalem office, Henriques writes educational materials and analysis on Israel, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and wider regional issues with particular focus on Iran and the threat of the Iranian nuclear program. She works with international security experts researching Iranian activities, including the regime's nuclear ambitions and sponsorship of global terrorism.
Behnam Ben Taleblu is an Iran Research Analyst in Washington, D.C., and a graduate of The George Washington University's Elliot School of International Affairs, where he studied International Affairs (International Politics) and Middle East Studies while minoring in Religion. Behnam, a native Persian (Farsi) speaker, spent more than three years interning and working in think- tanks, consulting, and communications firms on issues related to Iran.

420 F. 2d 385 - Chicago Rock Island and Pacific Railroad Company v. Furniture Forwarders of St Louis Inc
420 F2d 385 Chicago Rock Island and Pacific Railroad Company v. Furniture Forwarders of St Louis Inc
CHICAGO, ROCK ISLAND AND PACIFIC RAILROAD COMPANY, a
Corporation, Appellee,
FURNITURE FORWARDERS OF ST. LOUIS, INC., and Alsco, Inc., Appellants.
United States Court of Appeals Eighth Circuit.
Jan. 12, 1970.
Edward K. Fehlig, of Hocker, Goodwin & MacGreevy, St. Louis, Mo., who subsequently withdrew F. Neil Aschemeyer, St. Louis, Mo., for appellants.
Alan C. Kohn, of Coburn, Croft, Kohn & Herzog, St. Louis, Mo., for appellee.
Before MEHAFFY, GIBSON and HEANEY, Circuit Judges.
MEHAFFY, Circuit Judge.
The Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad Company, plaintiff-appellee, hereafter referred to as the carrier, brought an action for collection of additional unpaid freight charges claimed to be due from Furniture Forwarders of St. Louis, Inc. and Alsco, Inc., defendants-appellants, hereafter referred to as the shippers.1 The claims grew out of 67 shipments of furniture that were moved in interstate commerce in batteries of boxcars between August 15, 1966 and March 2, 1967. The shipments were to delivery points on the West Coast.
The shippers had previously paid the freight charges provided for commodities generally rather than those applied to furniture under the published freight tariff.2 The carrier claims that the amount due is $67,945.09.
There is no factual dispute of consequence. The shippers here contend that the district court was without jurisdiction inasmuch as the doctrine of primary jurisdiction necessarily invokes a first determination by the Interstate Commerce Commission as to the reasonableness of the rates and that proceedings before that body are presently being litigated. The shippers also contend that this action was barred by the doctrine of res judicata because of a former adjudication involving the same parties in a demurrage case.
The case was tried to Chief Judge Harper, United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Missouri, Eastern Division, sitting without a jury. The memorandum opinion of the district court is reported in 294 F.Supp. 417 (E.D.Mo.1968). Judge Harper found no necessity to decide the primary jurisdiction issue as the Commission had shortly before entry of the district court's judgment entered an order dismissing the shippers' complaint, holding that the rate invoked here was not 'unjust, unreasonable, or otherwise unlawful.' Additionally, Judge Harper held that the defense of res judicata was without merit and entered judgment for the carrier in the amount sued for. By reason of the Commission's subsequent and continuing proceedings as detailed hereafter, we remand on the primary jurisdiction issue and affirm the district court's conclusion as to inapplicability of res judicata.
Primary Jurisdiction.
The carrier's complaint asserting jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C.A. 1337 was filed on December 5, 1967.3 The shippers filed answer on December 18, 1967 setting forth as one of the defenses that the rates forming the basis of the carrier's charge are 'unjust, unreasonable, discriminatory and unduly preferential,' and that this issue had been submitted to the Commission on September 8, 1967 and is presently pending before said Commission in case I.C. No. 207201.4 In a memorandum brief filed with the district court on March 15, 1968, the shippers urged the district court to take no further action in the case until the Commission had made a final determination of the rate issue before it. The parties presented their evidence and a final hearing was had before the district court on April 25, 1968 at which time the carrier's counsel was granted five days to reply to the theretofore filed shippers' brief and shippers' counsel was given five days thereafter to reply.
The order of the Commission above referred to was entered on November 7, 1968 and served on November 18, 1968 and numbered 34949. This order dismissed the shippers' complaint and found that the rate claimed by the carrier for furniture shipped in this fashion 'is not shown to have been unjust, unreasonable or otherwise unlawful.' It was not until after service of this order that the district court on November 27, 1968 filed its memorandum opinion and entered its judgment. This appeal was taken on December 27, 1968 and subsequently on June 27, 1969, acting on a petition for reconsideration, the Commission entered an order reopening its case No. 34949 for further hearing. This reopening order came some seven months after the Commission's original order and nearly that length of time after the judgment was rendered in the district court, and some six months after notice of appeal by the shippers to this court. Chief Judge Harper's opinion was undoubtedly correct based on the record before him at the time and he could not, of course, have had any inkling that the Commission might reopen the case several months subsequent to rendition of an apparently full-blown and well-considered opinion based upon a litigated issue, including as a party intervenor a company engaged in the business of receiving furniture. This intervenor appeared in support of the carrier's position.
Our problem then is to determine whether, under the doctrine of primary jurisdiction which is now deeply embedded in law, the court should stay its hand until there is a final determination of this issue by the Commission. We hold that it should. The issue is the reasonableness of the railroad rate involved, and so far as we know every court holds that this is a subject for initial determination by the Commission.
The landmark case giving birth to the doctrine of primary jurisdiction under the Interstate Commerce Act is Texas & Pac. Ry. Co. v. Abilene Cotton Oil Co., 204 U.S. 426, 27 S.Ct. 350, 51 L.Ed. 553 (1907).5 Mr. Justice White Who later became Chief Justice, authored the Court's opinion and said at page 444, 27 S.Ct. at page 356:
'It was pointed out that by the effect of the act to regulate commerce it was peculiarly within the province of the Commission to primarily consider and pass upon a controversy concerning the unreasonableness per se of the rates fixed in an established schedule. It was, therefore, declared to be the duty of the courts, where the Commission had not considered such a disputed question, to remand the case to the Commission to enable it to perform that duty, a conclusion wholly incompatible with the conception that courts, in independent proceedings, were empowered by the act to regulate commerce, equally with the Commission, primarily to determine the reasonableness of rates in force through an established schedule.'
The carrier cites such cases as Pennsylvania R.R. Co. v. United States, 363 U.S. 202, 80 S.Ct. 1131, 4 L.Ed.2d 1165 (1965); United States v. Western Pac. R.R. Co., 352 U.S. 59, 77 S.Ct. 161, 1 L.Ed.2d 126 (1956); Texas & Pac. Ry. Co. v. Abilene Cotton Oil Co., supra; McCleneghan v. Union Stock Yards Co. of Omaha, 298 F.2d 659 (8th Cir. 1962); Pennsylvania R.R. Co. v. Chromcraft Corp., 424 S.W.2d 104 (St. Louis Mo.App.1967), as supportive of its argument that this case need not be initially submitted to the Interstate Commerce Commission. We do not agree. The narrow legal issue involved here is whether the Commission has initial jurisdiction when the issue is reasonableness of a railroad rate.
In Pennsylvania R.R. Co. v. United States, supra, 363 U.S. at 203, 80 S.Ct. at 1132, the Supreme Court speaking through Mr. Justice Black said:
'Properly relying on our holding in United States v. Western Pacific R. Co., 352 U.S. 59, 62-70, 77 S.Ct. 161, 164-168, 1 L.Ed.2d 126, the Court of Claims suspended proceedings to enable the parties to have the Interstate Commerce Commission pass on the reasonableness of the rates.'
In Great Northern Ry. Co. v. Merchants Elevator Co., 259 U.S. 285 (1922), Mr. Justice Brandeis said at page 291, 42 S.Ct. 477, at page 479, 66 L.Ed. 943:
'Whenever a rate, rule, or practice is attacked as unreasonable or as unjustly discriminatory, there must be preliminary resort to the Commission.'
In its brief the carrier characterizes as one of the recognized leading decisions on the doctrine of primary jurisdiction McCleneghan v. Union Stock Yards Co. of Omaha, supra. Judge Balckmun's opinion in McCleneghan is indeed a typical, extremely thorough and eruditical one and includes an extensive discussion of the doctrine of primary jurisdiction. It traces the doctrine from its inception in Abilene, supra, quoting at length from Far East Conference v. United States, 342 U.S. 570, 574-575, 72 S.Ct. 492, 96 L.Ed. 576 (1952). But the court there was not confronted with the issue of initial jurisdiction of the Commission where the reasonableness of a rate is involved, and there is nothing we can read in the opinion that would lend any comfort whatsoever to the carrier here. For example, Judge Blackmun also cites and quotes from Great Northern Ry. Co. v. Merchants Elevator Co., supra, and United States v. Western Pac. R.R. Co., supra, the extracts from some of these Supreme Court decisions being at least identical in part with some of the Supreme Court's language we have quoted.6 We agree completely with every expression of Judge Balckmun in McCleneghan, including his statement that primary jurisdiction properly may be invoked in certain antitrust litigation involving the Packers and Stockyards Act. It is not, however, an inevitable barrier to court jurisdiction in all cases.
In Pennsylvania R.R. Co. v. Chromcraft Corp., supra, relied on by the carrier, the St. Louis Court of Appeals there said:
'The determination of whether a rate is or will be reasonable or otherwise in violation of the Act is initially a matter to be determined by the Interstate Commerce Commission, whose determination is subject to judicial review.' 424 S.W.2d 104 at 106.
A wealth of material has been written on the subject of primary jurisdiction7 and some of the famous Supreme Court cases have stated it so well that it would be presumptuous for us to attempt elaboration. The doctrine originated in a railroad rate case and has been fully developed and given application to agencies other than the Interstate Commerce Commission, such as the National Labor Relations Board, Civil Aeronautics Board, Federal Maritime Board, etc. The doctrine simply seeks an accommodation of the role of the courts and administrative agencies. Its application is desirable when the factual issues are not within the conventional experience of the courts and include such technical matters as those involving railroad freight rates. In fact, the doctrine is particularly essential in railroad rate cases in order to maintain uniformity of rulings when rates are involved. If there is any doubt about this being a case requiring initial resolution by the Commission, the mere scanning of the Commission's order is convincing. The Commission, in its order, dealt with the relation of the rate involved with the rates of other commodities, the susceptibility to transportation hazards, the protection of the integrity of carload rate structures, comparison with car-mile and ton-mile earnings with other shippers of furniture, relation to and effect on other shippers of furniture using a straight carload rate vis-a-vis shipment of batteries of four cars, the existence of 10,000-pound scales on inbound routes in certain cities, the existence of effective motor carrier competition, etc. Certainly these facts are technical and complicated. No case has been cited to us and our research has uncovered none where the court held that the Commission did not have initial jurisdiction if the issue concerned the reasonableness of the rate.
The delay is unfortunate but we have no alternative under the plain teachings of the Supreme Court other than to remand this case to the district court with instructions to retain jurisdiction and withhold final determination of this issue until the Commission reaches a final determination of the litigation there.
In September of 1966 the carrier brought an action against the shippers for demurrage charges.8 On April 28, 1967, the carrier amended its demurrage complaint and added as a party defendant Alsco, Inc., which had assumed the assets and liabilities of Chromcraft, Inc., one of the defendants in that action.
It is argued that since all of the shipments in the instant case were made prior to the amendment in the demurrage case, the doctrine of res judicata forecloses this suit inasmuch as the carrier had an opportunity when filing the amendment in the demurrage case to make the allegations concerning the unpaid freight charges pleaded herein. The argument runs that the demurrage action and the present action involve the same parties on the same accounts for basically the same period of time on some of the shipments, thus constituting a splitting of the carrier's causes of action. The demurrage case, however, did not involve any of the shipments included in the present freight charge case.
The shippers have ignored Fed.R.Civ.P. 15(c), which provides that an amendment relates back to the date of the original complaint:
'(c) Relation Back of Amendments. Whenever the claim or defense asserted in the amended pleading arose out of the conduct, transaction, or occurrence set forth or attempted to be set forth in the original pleading, the amendment relates back to the date of the original pleading. * * *'
The date of the filing of the demurrage case was in September of 1966, which was before 65 of the 67 shipments sued on here were made. When the carrier subsequently amended its demurrage complaint on April 28, 1967, it was under no obligation to include the allegations concerning the unpaid freight charges asserted here. These charges are clearly sufficient to constitute a separate cause of action.
The demurrage claim in each instance involved different shipments from those involved in the instant case, so it is quite obvious that for this and other reasons the evidence to prove one claim is not necessary to prove the other. See and compare Baggett Transportation Co. v. United States, 319 F.2d 864, 869, 162 Ct.Cl. 570 (1963).
Additionally, the instant case is based upon separate bills of lading and each bill of lading constitutes the contract on which the carrier's action is based. Von Der Ahe Van Lines, Inc. v. United States, 358 F.2d 999, 1001, 175 Ct.Cl. 281 (1966), cert. denied, 385 U.S. 837, 87 S.Ct. 83, 17 L.Ed.2d 70 (1966).9 See also and compare United States v. Mississippi Valley Barge Line Co., 285 F.2d 381, 390 (8th Cir. 1960); United States v. Louisville & Nashville R.R. Co., 221 F.2d 698 (6th Cir. 1955). The shippers here made payment of some of the claims by single check but noted thereon which shipments and charges were being paid. This does not alter the legal consequences or make of this an open and running account. Our conclusion is that the district court properly held that defendant's plea under the facts related affords no defense under the doctrine of res judicata.
We affirm the district court's ruling on the res judicata issue, but for reasons stated in the first section of this opinion we feel compelled by tne teachings of the Supreme Court to remand the case to the district court with instructions to vacate the judgment entered but to retain jurisdiction and stay its hand until final action of the Commission on the reasonableness of the rate issue.
Furniture Forwarders was the shipper and Alsco was the owner of the goods shipped
The freight rate for commodities generally at the time of the shipments in question was $2.45 per hundred pounds and the rate for furniture, which was an exception to the general rate, was $3.69 per hundred pounds. The record reflects that both rates have been slightly raised since the shipments were made
28 U.S.C.A. 1337 provides:
'The district courts shall have original jurisdiction of any civil action or proceeding arising under any Act of Congress regulating commerce or protecting trade and commerce against restraints and monopolies.'
The answer alleges that the matter was pending before H. S. Frey, Chief, Informal Cases Branch, as I.C. No. 207201. The I.C.C. opinion filed in the record in the instant case, however, is No. 34949 and was heard before Oren G. Barber, Hearing Examiner, and his findings and the Commission's opinion assert that the complaint was filed on September 12, 1968. There is no record explanation of this discrepancy
This case has been cited repeatedly and the significance of Chief Justice White's opinion has been extolled. Mr. Justice Frankfurter in dissent in Elgin, J. & E. R.R. Co. v. Burley, 325 U.S. 711, 759, 65 S.Ct. 1282, 1306, 89 L.Ed. 1886 (1945), said:
'The beneficient rule in the Abilene Cotton Oil case was evolved by reading the Interstate Commerce Act, 49 U.S.C.A. 1 et seq., not as though it were a collection of abstract words, but by treating it as an instrument of government growing out of long experience with certain evils and addressed to their correction. Chief Justice White's opinion in that case was characterized by his successor, Chief Justice Taft, as a 'conspicuous instance of his unusual and remarkable power and facility in statesmanlike interpretation of statute law."
For example, in McCleneghan v. Union Stock Yards Co. of Omaha, 298 F.2d 659, 665 (8th Cir. 1962), Judge Blackmun quoted from Mr. Justice Brandeis' opinion in Great Northern Ry. Co. v. Merchants Elevator Co., 259 U.S. 285, 291, 42 S.Ct. 477, 66 L.Ed. 943 (1922), as follows:
"Whenever a rate, rule, or practice is attacked as unreasonable or as unjustly discriminatory, there must be preliminary resort to the Commission. * * * It is required because the inquiry is essentially one of fact and of discretion in technical matters; and uniformity can be secured only if its determination is left to the Commission. Moreover, that determination is reached ordinarily upon voluminous and conflicting evidence, for the adequate appreciation of which acquaintance with many intricate facts of transportation is indispensable, and such acquaintance is commonly to be found only in a body of experts."
See e.g., Jaffee, Primary Jurisdiction, 77 Harv.L.Rev. 1037 (1964); Guandolo, Transportation Law, Ch. 37, 'Primary Administrative Jurisiction,' pp. 473-481 (1965); 3 Davis, Administrative Law Treatise, 19.01-19.05 (1958)
See Furniture Forwarders of St. Louis, Inc. v. Chicago, R.I. & P.R.R. Co., 393 F.2d 537 (8th Cir. 1968)
In Von Der Ahe Van Lines, Inc. v. United States, 358 F.2d 999, 1001, 175 Ct.Cl. 281 (1966), cert. denied, 385 U.S. 837, 87 S.Ct. 83, 17 L.Ed.2d 70 (1966), the court said: 'The bill of lading is the contract of carriage upon which the carrier's action is based. (Citing cases.)'

Eric Whitacre - Nox Aurumque Lyrics
First, Eric had already composed much of the musical material; several distinct melodic motifs were already formed and essential to the structure of the piece. Any text I composed had to fit within the parameters of that structure. Eric was very specific about the number of syllables in this line, the necessary word-painting in that line, etc. Second, Eric had strong ideas about the meaning of the text. He communicated impressionistic images of an angel, the emotions of that angel, and other evocative images, darker than usual for him. It has a distinctly different sound than earlier works, and I wanted my text to be darker, and as different.

7-26-2018 - On the drive in this morning I realized that the excuses I came up with for not pursuing something I truly wanted to do were what had kept me for so long from doing what I really want to do. Now after losing so much those excuses don't matter anymore, so now I write like I never have before.
Sometimes you have to lose everything that keeps those excuses in place to put you into an uncomfortable enough place that you'll choose to do whats really important to you. When that happens you no longer have any excuses to hold onto. You just have the truth and what you'll do with it. And that will define everything else you do after that. For me its writing like I always wanted to and never did, until now.
Did the sphere of art working today and I was very tired afterwards, but I could feel the archangels and they told me they'd never come in more than I could handle. I appreciate that. It's a different form of work when you mediate a spirit or spirits. But its a relationship all the same.
8-1-2018 A huge part of stability's work for me is around knowing what creates stability and what doesn't. But there's something Kat said the other day that's also stuck with me. I was telling her about my ongoing work with my books and she said when I did thing my own way instead of trying to fit into some box, that's when I thrived. And there's some truth to that. Taking charge and going my own way, truly going my own way has always worked better than anything else. That is part of my stability and a strength I need to remember to draw on.
8-3-2018 Today on the way home I reminded myself that my greatest flaws are my pride and anger. A huge part of the stability work I've done has been around being much more conscious about these flaws and how they can undermine my sense of stability and focus. What I learned from my mistakes from last year is that I let my pride and anger get the best of me. It created a situation of self delusion and a hard fall. I won't let that happen again, because I see clearly how I sabotaged myself, so if I start to feel that sense of anger and pride, there's a reminder that kicks in, the equivalent of the "thou are but mortal" warning whispered in the ears of Roman generals who were successful.
8-5-2018 Each day is an opportunity. What you make of that opportunity is up to you. I don't know if anyone ever said that, but its true. And I feel like each day I am making the most of my opportunity by focusing on what matters. That's part of stability, in my opinion.
8-8-2018 Writing plays an integral part in my stability. I've recognized this as I've continued writing more and more. It allows me to get my thought process out, grounds my perspective, and the more I employ the writing practices I'm learning the more I feel focused. I'm thinking with any major venture I'll do I'll write a book first, because if I can write a book, then that alone will tell me if I have something I can offer.
8-9-2018 I had a talk with my manager today about how to handle stress at work. He made some really good points about not carrying the stress with you through the day. I considered his words in relationship to stability and recognized that part of creating a stable life is letting go of stress. I already do it through exercise, but I'm going to try and do it throughout the day as well, and with other situations that come up. As he pointed out I can't control everything around me, but I can certainly control my stress and how let it impact me. Wise words, and as someone who knows all too much about how illusory control is, its worth recognizing all over again in another context.
8-11-2018 I got rid of a crate of books today. I was getting books placed on the book shelves we recently bought, but I was also looking some of them over and asking myself, "Will I ever read this again?" It felt good to get that load of books wrapped up and dropped off. In general, as I continue this work with stability, that's how it feels when I get rid of or unload things I no longer need. I'm scraping away at the distractions to get underneath to the foundation and making that foundation solid and focused on the creative endeavors that matter.
My manager said something the other day. He said he felt like I had my life together. I was telling him about the businesses and how things had failed, and I appreciated that he said it. I feel like this year I've been getting my life back together after I did a nose dive the last couple years before that. It's hard sometimes to feel that way, but as I've learned the outward trappings of success are not always an indicator that a person has their priorities straight or their act together. Sometimes its just a show. Certainly it was a show for me in some ways. But I think I am getting my act together because I'm finally doing what I always wanted to do and no longer making excuses for it.
8-15-2018 I've had some intriguing developments on the internal alchemy front. I've been reading a book on marrow washing, which is method of Taoist meditation that involves generating Qi from the marrow. And with my experience with water meditation I've actually been able to do what they talk about in the book. The result has been that I've been able to significantly reduce the chronic pain I feel in my left leg and lower back. In some cases the pain is gone altogether. Further experimentation is in order, especially in terms of figuring out how to make this process accessible to other people. but also in terms of whatever else may result. I also feel more energized as a result of doing this work. It's truly exciting.
8-19-2018 I've continued to do work with the marrow washing technique. I have noticed a difference in the level of physical pain I've felt, and the overall energy I feel. I also noticed that the one day I didn't do the practice the pain returned. It demonstrates that this continuing work, not something that can just be done and fixed, which makes sense given that the practice is intended to be performed daily, but I find its always good to confirm through the actual work.
8-21-2018 A significant part of my work with stability is the letting go of anything that creates drama or decreases stability. If I'm going to live a creative life, I've come to recognize how essential stability is to that life. I see it in my recent creative work and in all the ideas that are continuing to present themselves in my fiction and non-fiction.

Carsten Wergin trained at Goldsmiths College and the University of Bremen. After spending a few years at Martin-Luther-University Halle-Wittenberg and the University of New South Wales (Sydney) he joined Ruprecht-Karls-University Heidelberg in 2014. His anthropological work is located at the intersections of heritage, culture and ecology, with regional foci in Australia, the Indian Ocean, islands and beaches of the European Ultraperiphery. His doctoral research examined the transcultural music scene of the French Overseas-Department La Réunion and resulted in his first monograph Kréol Blouz: Musikalische Inszenierungen von Identität und Kultur (Böhlau, 2010). This was followed by research into urbanism, gentrification and the performing arts. His edited volume Musical Performance and the Changing City (Routledge, 2013; with Fabian Holt) reflects both the theoretical and practical issues arising in these entangled fields.
Following on from this, Carsten Wergin continued research into tourism, sustainable development and heritage preservation. His longterm ethnographic study of a conflict over the construction of a $45 billion AUD Liquefied Natural Gas Facility (LNG) in Northwest Australia is the subject of journal articles for, among others, Australian Humanities Review, Ethnos: Journal of Anthropology, and Journal of Cultural Economy. Further publications include the Special Issue Materialities of Tourism for Tourist Studies (with Stephen Muecke, 2014), and The Call of the Trumpet Shell (with Corinna Erckenbrecht, 2018), a monograph on German anatomist and explorer Hermann Klaatsch (1863 - 1916) and his work in the Kimberley region.

Sun Valley is full of world class services and skiing. Since 1936, skiers from all over the world have been saying that Sun Valley is definitely worth the trip. There are two ski mountains located in the Sun Valley area Bald Mountain and Dollar Mountain. Bald Mountain is the main ski mountain in the area and offers 65 varied runs. Offering 13 runs and 628 feet of supportive, nurturing vertical rise, Dollar Mountain is a wonderful mountain for skiers and boarders to learn on.
Bald Mountain can be accessed at River Run on the south and Warm Springs on the north. During the winter, finely appointed day lodges, a total of 14 lifts and 65 varied runs await on either side of the mountain. Bald Mountain's seemingly endless runs stretch 2,054 acres to the edges of the Sawtooth National Forest and slide another 3,400 vertical feet, top to bottom. During the summer, the world famous mountain is open to sightseers and adventurers, whether you want a relaxing day among the wildflowers, or a challenging journey through the rugged beauty of Idaho's wilderness. Baldy, as it is affectionately called, offers nearly 28 miles of hiking and biking trails. Feel free to tackle the trails yourself, or take along one of many expert guides to point out all the little things that make the Bald Mountain experience so unique.

The Bowls are easily served by the Mayday chairlift, a seven minute ride back to the top. Warm Springs Warm Springs, named for the warm bubbling water at the base of the lift, is a great area of the mountain for the intermediate skier who needs a little more time to move on to the advanced stage. Filled with more difficult runs, Warm Springs glows in the afternoon sunshine. The top of the area is home to Warm Springs Face and most difficult runs International and Limelight. Halfway down, skiers can decide which of the more difficult runs they want to venture on ranging from Brick's Island to Cozy.

Understanding the Sun Valley Area
Sun Valley is located about 150 miles east of Boise. The Sun Valley area consists of basically four different neighborhoods; Ketchum & River Run, Warm Springs, Sun Valley Village and Elkhorn. This section is designed to help you understand their relationship to each other and explain each area in a little more detail. Ketchum/River Run: top Ketchum is the main town in the Sun Valley area. It is located about one and a half miles southwest of the Sun Valley Village. In downtown Ketchum, there are many lodging options along with over 80 restaurants and several shops. About seven to ten blocks to the west of downtown Ketchum, is the eastern base area of Bald Mountain. The area surrounding the eastern base of the mountain is referred to as River Run, basically a sub-area of Ketchum, and there are several lodging options located in this area.

Product reviewed: Bald Mountain Lift Ticket Pricing
"I rode the Bald Mountain gondola as a foot passenger to enjoy a lunch reservation at the Round House Restaurant at 7,700 ft. on the mountain. It was a beautiful day and the views from the Roundhouse were beautiful, although I had been hoping for more snow. This was a dry year, but most of the ski lifts were running. The food at the Round House was very good, but I thought the price was a little high. The service was good and the drinks at the cozy bar were worth the wait for the restaurant. Be sure to make a reservation as this is a very busy place."
"This is a revue of the Spa at Sun Valley Lodge. I made direct reservations with the spa, the week prior to arriving at my conference at the Sun Valley inn. The spa is well laid out and nice and quiet. I had a massage, facial and manicure over 2 days and I luxuriated in the attention. I thought the prices were fair and comparable to prices at other nice resorts. There is also a very nice heated, outdoor pool attached to the spa facility. Any guest is welcome to use the pool. The Spa is getting ready for a renovation and the services will move to a new facility for the coming months. All services will be available."

Springtime is coming, and we all know what that means. No we did not mean spring cleaning; it is time for your car maintenance. Now that winter has finally gone, you can take a sigh of relief and make sure that your car not only drives well, but also looks great as well. Contrary to what most people think, car maintenance is not costly; in fact, it saves you a lot of money in the long run!
The most important step to begin car maintenance at any time is to check if it requires any fluid. Ignoring these fluids can cause a lot of damage to your car. Especially important is ensuring that transmission and oil are at the ideal capacity.
The hail and snowfall during the winter season can cause a lot of deterioration to your car. So as soon as winter is over, you should take the chance to wash your car and wax it, making it look smoother and shinier than ever. Cleaning your car with a cloth just won't do, so take the extra step and give your car a good freshening up!
The first course of action to take before tire maintenance is to check if you had installed winter tires to your cars, and if so, to make sure that you replace them with regular tires. After that, you should make sure that your tires' pressure range is within recommended range, which is usually around a psi of 30 to 32.
The wipers of your windshield go through a lot wear and tear during the winter season, and lose their smoothness along the way. So be sure to change your windshield wipers during the springtime maintenance. While we're on the subject of replacing, why not check your cars battery as well just to make sure that it is in optimal condition, and if it's not, then changing it would be in your best interest.
To make sure that your engine is running ideally, be sure to check on your air filter, because an air filter that is obstructed will have a negative impact on your car's engine performance. Reduction of gas mileage usually happens because of a clogged air filter.
It is important to make sure that your car's brakes are in good condition. If the brakes are rough and the light for brake check is shining brightly on your dashboard, changing your brake pads is the best course of action to take.
At Ethan's Honest Automotive, we make sure our customers 100% safe before taking their vehicles back on the roads. From regular car maintenance and oil changes to tire rotation and specialized repairs, we have you covered. Contact us today and let us help get your car in tip-top shape for the warm months ahead.

In Defense of Sluts
Yasmin Nair
As the saying goes, unless you've been living under a rock in the US, you know by now that Rush Limbaugh recently did what he does best: malign, defame, eviscerate, and demonstrate that he is the king of douchebaggery.
On March 1, perhaps filled with rage at the advent of Women's History Month, the popular talk-show host ripped into Sandra Fluke, a third-year Georgetown University law student who had testified before Congress about the need for birth control coverage. Limbaugh berated Fluke, calling her a "slut" who wanted the government to pay for her promiscuous lifestyle, making the inference that her need for birth control signaled an active sex life, presumably with many people. This is vintage Limbaugh, and it's fairly typical of a man who has made derogatory comments about nearly all groups, including undocumented immigrants, African-Americans, and women.
The recent incident has prompted a cultural backlash on both sides, with liberals decrying his words and conservatives rushing to his defense. To those who declare that Limbaugh has put his foot in his mouth, I would caution that he is one of the most dexterous in manipulating media attention. I would also caution that such manipulation does not imply a lack of belief in the ideology he professes or that, somehow, that belief could be changed-progressives, liberals and lefties love to imagine that arch-conservatives are people like them who've just lost their way. There is nothing to indicate that Limbaugh does not act and think in racist and misogynistic ways, and the sooner we come to terms with the existence of more people like him in many parts of our world-and the fact that their beliefs demonstrate a position, just as much as ours do, the better we will be equipped to deal with them.
But to return to Fluke: the law student is a demure-looking and eloquent woman who can hold her own and has, to her credit, handled the issue with dignity. Making the media rounds, she has managed to keep a level head and tone, and has consistently battered home the same message, that "women need access to basic health care that's important to prevent medical disasters and to prevent pregnancy." I suspect she also has at least one really good media trainer. That's not a criticism-everyone who wants to establish a public message needs one. I raise this point because it's important not to think of Fluke as an unwitting pawn in this game: she is an astute spokesperson and, like Limbaugh, she is advocating for a position.
That brings me to an aspect of this case which leaves me, at best, deeply uneasy and, at worst, terrified for the future of women's sexual lives in this country: the fact that the media coverage and responses of feminists so far have been to first criticise Limbaugh's "slut-shaming" and then to insist that Fluke is no slut. They go on to demonstrate that her testimony included her pain at watching a friend "be forced to have an ovary removed due to ovarian cysts,"which birth control could have prevented. On Chicago Now, Janet Dahl writes that, "[t]he imputation that anyone using contraception is promiscuous is beyond ridiculous." Only good, monogamous, non-slutty women need contraception!
Fluke's demeanour and political messaging have won her a groundswell of support. Georgetown University's President, John J. DeGioia criticised Limbaugh's comments as "misogynistic, vitriolic, and a misrepresentation of the position of our student." On March 2, the unthinkable happened: President Barack Obama called Fluke, minutes before she was due to appear on MSNBC with Andrea Mitchell, to indicate his support of her.
While it is heartening to see an American President come even close to expressing what could effectively be translated as support for abortion rights, I have to wonder: What, pray tell, if Fluke is indeed a slut?
The widespread support for Fluke is built entirely on the idea that she is not a slut and that she has been, as Andrea Mitchell put it, "victimised." Fluke, we are constantly being assured, does not have promiscuous sex and Limbaugh is entirely wrong because his "slur" is based on a misrepresentation not only of her position but of her very character. Recently, Fluke has been reported to be toying with the idea of suing Limbaugh. But what would she sue him for? Being an asshole? That's protected, rightly so, under all kinds of amendments. Slander is the only charge she could bring against him, something to the effect that Limbaugh's calling her a slut caused some sort of great harm and, more importantly, that she is not a slut. I imagine that testimony will be collected from friends, family, and perhaps a long-standing significant other of some sort with whom she has monogamous sex with an aim to building a family in the future. She will never, of course, be proven to have sex for the sake of having sex.
Can we please remember that it's also perfectly fine that women need access to birth control because they really do like having lots of sex and being, generally, you know, sluts? For fuck's sake, we fought for the Pill and access to contraception because we once thought that boundless sex without consequences-whether with one person or with many, at the same time or sequentially, either way-is a pretty good thing.*
This business of a lawsuit worries me because it seems to further erase the reality of what birth control means for many-sex, and lots of it, thank you-and fosters the idea that sluts don't deserve our support, or the Pill.
In the first episode of Mad Men, set in the 1960s, Peggy Olson finds a gynaecologist willing to prescribe birth control, but she has to first listen to him lecture her. As he snaps on rubber gloves and orders her to spread her knees for a preliminary exam, he says, "I'm not here to judge you... although as a doctor, I'd like to think that [prescribing the pill for a woman] is not going to turn her into some kind of strumpet. I warn you now: I will take you off this medicine if you abuse it. It's for your own good, really. The fact is, even in our modern times, easy women don't find husbands."
We might want to think of this as moment in our distant past, but have we really progressed that far?
Would Fluke have received that phone call from Obama or a letter of support from the President of her Catholic university if there had been any hint of promiscuity? I suspect she was chosen as a spokesperson precisely because of an unimpeachable sex life (or perhaps, better still, none at all). But what of the sluts left behind?
The feminist movement, such as it is, is tattered and torn amidst a rapidly failing battle for abortion rights. So terrified is this movement of actually taking a stand that it will not even use the "a-word" without gulping and apologising, dumping it periodically through a continuous rebranding every few years: "reproductive choice" and then, "reproductive justice." Today, the phrase in favour is "reproductive health," as if abortion should only be seen as desirable or necessary if the woman is in imminent danger of death or has a medical condition. In all this, feminists have acceded so much that they no longer possess the strength to state, simply, what we need: Abortion on demand, now.
A similar weakening and kowtowing is evident in the battle for contraception. Women like Fluke are persuaded to emphasise health and negate sex as a primary reason for contraception, and so-called feminists are ramping up the demand for the same by insisting that they don't fuck and if they do, it would never be wantonly or like "sluts." Rather than insist that Fluke is not a slut, feminists ought to state, loudly and clearly, that contraception should be provided regardless of a woman's sex life. The fight for contraception is currently based on arguments about women's health or, as Fluke delicately puts it, the prevention of pregnancy. It's time we began acknowledging that women need contraception because they like to fuck. Perhaps if we were more willing to talk about ourselves as sexual beings, right-wing hypocrites would have much less ammunition against us. After all, if a slut is not afraid of openly being one, who can possibly shame her into silence?
If we choose instead to go down the path of denying our sexuality and the reality of our sex lives, it will only be a matter of time till the rest of us sluts have to endure the same indignity as Peggy Olson.
*Let us, for now, put aside the important fact that no health care policy will cover condoms, or that they are more effective than the Pill in preventing STDs. Let us also put aside, for now, the very real and underfunded issues of sex education for queer youth. But let us not forget any of this.

Why It's So Hard To Detect The Fingerprints Of Global Warming On Monsoon Rains
Written by Jonathan Eden
AJP / shutterstock
The devastating floods in the Indian state of Kerala are a stark reminder of the vulnerability of the world's most densely populated regions to weather and climate phenomena. In addition to the tragic loss of several hundred lives, widespread floods driven by unusually high and persistent monsoon rains have severely impacted the region's fragile infrastructure and displaced more than a million people. Only in recent days has the Indian government been able to understand the full extent of an estimated US$3 billion worth of damage.
It is now typical that the aftermath of severe weather events is marked by questions about the role played by human-induced climate change. More precisely, scientists aim to provide a timely statement about the extent to which global warming has changed the likelihood of a certain weather-related hazard. The practice of attributing an event to climate change has become a regular activity and is being tackled with a growing number of methodologies.
Improvements in the computer models used to make climate predictions means that attribution information can often be made available immediately after, and sometimes even during, the event. For instance, reports declaring this summer's heatwave across Northern Europe to be at least twice as likely as a result of climate change were circulated while many citizens continued to experience the scorching temperatures. Being able to communicate this information while the event is still firmly in the consciousness of the general public is potentially very powerful in changing the opinions of those resistant to climate action
Effects on rainfall
News of the worsening situation in Kerala is an opportunity to consider why understanding the effect of climate change is more difficult for some events than for others. For example, the links between global warming and temperature extremes are reasonably well understood. It should come as little surprise that a warmer world will bring more severe summer heatwaves and more frequent mild winters. When it comes to rainfall, however, things are a bit more complicated.
Unlike temperature, rainfall varies hugely in space and time. Even the most sophisticated climate models struggle to simulate physical processes such as convection and evaporation that drive rainfall activity. On top of that, global warming is not expected to change the frequency and intensity of rainfall extremes in the same way in all parts of the world.
On a global scale, an increase in the most severe rainfall events is anticipated given the atmosphere's capacity to hold around 7% more water per °C rise in temperature, as described by the Clausius–Clapeyron relation. But when we get to the regional scale, this relationship becomes somewhat distorted by the response of rainfall to meteorological phenomena such as tropical cyclones, thunderstorms and, in the case of the Kerala event, monsoons.
So, how should an extreme rainfall event be defined? By the amount of rain that fell or by the weather patterns that caused it?
The choice to focus solely on the rainfall itself is particularly relevant for flooding events. Though accusations of poor decision-making and mismanagement of water resources are beginning to appear in the Kerala aftermath, the floods simply would not have occurred without a significant amount of rain. Few of those suffering lost homes and livelihoods are likely to care much about where the rain came from or the intricacies of the weather conditions that led to it.
But to understand as much as possible we must consider the individual responses of weather phenomena to a changing climate. Different approaches tackle the problem in different ways – and may produce conflicting results. Even in the absence of a significant trend in the highest rainfall totals, a climate change signature may still exist in the form of rising temperatures in the oceans where the moisture that fed the rainfall originated.
Disentangling these contributory factors takes time. In comparison to droughts and heatwaves, short-term hazards such as floods do not usually give us much chance to report concrete findings while the media and general public are still engaged in the event. In-depth studies may not publish their results for many months, sometimes even years after the event in question.
Many of these issues are not exclusive to extreme rainfall. The excellent US National Academies report on Attribution of Extreme Weather Events in the Context of Climate Change describes the shortcomings in our efforts to attribute a variety of extremes. But for rainfall in particular there is a discrepancy between what we understand about the general effect of global warming and our rather lesser ability to quantify the climate change fingerprint on specific events.
While this is a cause for concern, the opportunity for improvement should be the focus of our attempts to make attribution a more effective vehicle for communicating climate risk.

Welcome to your School Council
Our School Council works hard to ensure that all children have an opportunity to share their ideas and to make changes to their school. The School Council meet regularly, to share ideas and undertake projects. This ensures all children have a VOICE, they all SHARE ideas and they all help to IMPROVE their school.
Our School Council is made up of pupils from Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, Year 4, Year 5 and also the House Captains from Year 6.
School Council 2022 - 2023
We had a visit from Kully, the Creative Director of Leeds 2023. We discussed our ideas for how to help support the Year of Art and Culture. Members from Year 1 to 5 gave fantastic ideas and displayed wonderful understanding of how to make a sustainable change to arts and culture within Leeds.
Ella and Ty helped collect all of the old pens from the last year. They are going to be recycled to make plastic furniture! We sent off over 1700 pens. As a reward, the council voted to use the profits to purchase a chicken for an African family to provide eggs and manure to help farming.
Outer West Youth Summit - Wednesday 2nd October 2019
The Year 6 House Captains had the opportunity to attend the Outer West Youth Summit at Leeds Civic Hall which gave them the opportunity to share their ideas on how the money should be spent on children and young people who live in Farnley.
When we arrived the children were asked to write down (as a group), a list of things which they thought the councillors did in their daily role. The councillors had to then say yes or no and why. The hospitals were mentioned and Edward was the only one in the room to put his hand up to say the NHS provided the funding.
Break – cups of tea all-round and a muffin.
In the next session the children were given £40,000 and a list of companies wanting funding. They had to look at: how many children they provided for, how many sessions they held, the age ranges, costs and if they are beneficial to the towns and their city.
Lunch – grab and go, yummy.
After lunch the children spent the afternoon in the Chamber room with the local councillors and the Lady Mayoress herself. They were given a talk about the seating arrangements and where labour or conservatives etc would sit and why. She gave the children chance to ask her questions about her job role and inspirations.
All our children were fantastic and contributed to everything.
