The Hollow Crown: Richard II, BBC Two
Shakespeare's ravishing history play all tressed up in transfer to TV
by Matt WolfSunday, 01 July 2012
'Let us sit upon the ground and compare flowing locks': Ben Whishaw as a follicularly fulsome Richard II
There was some pretty serious hair on view in the BBC's new film of Richard II, a play better-known for its luxuriant verse, and well there might be, given that the adaptation came to us courtesy that most fulsomely-maned of theatre directors, Rupert Goold.
There was some pretty serious hair on view in the BBC's new film of Richard II, a play better-known for its luxuriant verse, and well there might be, given that the adaptation came to us courtesy that most fulsomely-maned of theatre directors, Rupert Goold. (Among his colleagues, only the RSC's Greg Doran can compete in the follicular sweepstakes.) That's all well and good, I can hear you asking, but did Shakespeare's extravagantly lyrical rhetoric survive the stage-to-screen transfer?
The answer is yes in some places and not so well in others, but I can't imagine not being mesmerised by the overabundance of tresses on view. Leading man Ben Whishaw was one thing but who knew that David Suchet and Patrick Stewart took so splendidly to long, flowing locks?
Goold's film, adapted with his longtime colleague Ben Power from the Bard's ceaselessly rhapsodic text, inaugurates a celluloid cycle of history plays under a larger banner title, Shakespeare Unlocked, that forms part of the Cultural Olympiad. Still to come in a subset of offerings known as The Hollow Crown are Richard Eyre directing Simon Russell Beale as Falstaff in the two Henry IV plays and Thea Sharrock putting Tom Hiddleston through his paces in Henry V, the Shakespeare play of the moment. And yet, Richard II poses arguably the greatest cinematic challenge of the lot, dependent as it is on soaring verbal arias that can transfix audiences in the playhouse but are trickier to navigate on screen, not least by contrast with the carousing and military derring-do that course through the sequence of Henry plays.
Goold's approach to some extent can be seen as ironic, not least when one considers the mixed-media bravado that he has brought to such stage productions as Macbeth (with Stewart in the title role) and, preeminently, Six Characters in Search of an Author, still this prolific talent's finest achievement to date. Marked out by a belligerent naturalism entirely lacking in the interpretive leaps to which Goold has been prone on stage - an RSC Merchant of Venice, for instance, set in Las Vegas - this Richard had the perverse effect of containing very little of visual interest. In which case, thank heavens for the follicular splendour - and the words. (Some will have warmed more than I did to the intermittent presence of a pet monkey.)
Whishaw has long seemed a Richard II-in-waiting, the actor's fey, doe-eyed androgyny wedded to a command of classical text that can make its untrammelled way through one or another spoken set piece. And first seen eyes fluttering, flashing a thin, coquettish smile that could dismiss onlookers as readily as it drew them near, Whishaw immediately communicated the divinely anointed manchild who, after all, was only 10 when he acceded to the throne. His cavalier "so much for that" upon the passing of Stewart's baleful John of Gaunt (pictured above) made clear early on that death doesn't seem particularly to register to a ruler who comes to discover humanity at the price of his crown; it takes Richard's surrender of authority for him to acquire a soul.
So perhaps it was inevitable that for all the visual attention paid to thrones, castles, and water (that last element a leitmotif of the text itself), Goold favoured the close-up in a somewhat monotonous attempt to burrow into this baleful king's anguished if newly awakened psyche. I've never seen a Richard on stage whose faux-narcissistic admission, "no deeper wrinkles yet", was so fully borne out, the result here of a camera busily zooming in for the facial kill well before Tom Hughes's full-lipped, smooth-cheeked Aumerle - no beard for him! - came along to administer the fatal blow. The intimacy also made possible a whispery intensity that wouldn't wash in the playhouse, where you'd never be heard beyond the second row.
The result, oddly, was to sideline the Bolingbroke of Rory Kinnear, who seemed to spend much of the time not speaking, head cocked to one side. (On the other hand, theatre buffs will doubtless have thrilled to the mano a mano presence of two such vaunted stage Hamlets.) Far more impressive in smaller parts were Suchet as a steely Duke of York (pictured above, with Hughes behind) who appeared to have wandered in from a nearby casbah (the actor has a field day with the adjective "plume-plucked") and Lindsay Duncan as Suchet's determinedly maternal wife, who on this evidence must surely some day play Volumnia.
Playing a woman of stature transformed by parental solicitude into a "beggar" on behalf of Aumerle, her errant son, Duncan brought a touch of thespian majesty to a story of kingship laid low. And she served to remind us that Shakespeare's interest in regime change notwithstanding, he's pretty peerless when it comes to matters pertaining to family. And that in a history play cycle defined more or less entirely by men, the ladies get their moment, too.

I learned a lot from this new BBC production. The BBC claimed it was set in the Middle Ages. I never realised the Empire Windrush pulled up at Cheapside in Anno Domini 1390. And due to affirmative action many West Indians rose to prominence in civic life such as a Lord and the Bishop of Carlisle. Apparently according to the BBC the Medieval Welsh were like rejects from the Rock tribe in One Million Years BC. I was half expecting Raquel Welch in a fur bikini and a Pterodactyl to turn up. According to my history books the Welsh had discovered the technology of weaving. And what was with all that Red Indian war paint?

This version of Richard is more than a little insulting to the viewer. We do not need to see a protagonist seated on a white donkey to understand themes of martyrdom and power. Many of Richard's best speeches were ruined by the overblown portrayal of the king as a fey weakling. By the end of the play we are meant to feel deeply - and I don't mean relieved that this awful presentation was finished. I hope the other plays in this series are better than this or I will be forced to look to the soaps for drama.

I have never seen such an inhabited and totally beievable Richard II. The subtlety of expression in Bolingbrokes eyes whilst witnessing the mercurial rather feminine rantings. It was beautiful to look at. Whyshaws performance was stunningly electrifying - a King with severe personatlity disorders so movingly and magniifcently played. He MUST be one of our very best actors.

"Very little of visual interest ' ???? My God Matt Wolf were you actually watching this with open eyes ? It was without doubt the most televisual Shakespeare production that I have ever seen on television - ever. Admittedly there are no battle scenes as in some of the other history plays, but the director & producers have expanded the Bard's intentions to add interest to the eye. The fabulous opening jousting scenes with a quite beautiful marquee, the use of the interiors and exteriors of churches & castles, flat windswept beaches, a river (moat?) into which Richard's two compatriots heads plopped into after being severed so dramatically by Bolingbrokes's forces. The dark, dank prison into which Richard was incarcerated, I could go on. Then there were the stunning costumes, emphasizing in their design both the medieval and the oriental, all exquisitely filmed with a true photographer's eye. And what is your fetish over 'hair' ? This is really a poor excuse for a review.

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed this production and look forward enormously to the following three. Not "arty" in any sense of the word, we easily followed the wonderful prose and thought it visually beautiful. Why so hung up on hair? Looking at contemporary depictions of Richard II he appears to have at least "page-boy" length hair Shakespeare to the masses.and I would think that is the norm for the period. Well done everyone concerned in the production, I think you may have successfully bought

Cinematic versions of Shakespeare's plays can often forget the text and concentrate too much on visuals and music. This production did, however, manage to combine some stunning visuals without detracting from the text. I thought the cast were excellent especially Whishaw. The only thing I did not enjoy about this production was Wolf's glib review!

Toy Guns and Gunplay: Should Parents Be Worried?
By Dr. Todd Huffman, for the Eugene Register-Guard, August 2008
For some years a debate has been raging among parents, educators, and child health experts as to whether playing with toy guns and other fantasy weaponry encourages present or future violent behavior among children, or whether such play provides healthy outlets to their natural aggression, and otherwise inures them against the horrors of a sometimes violent world.
In particular, the fact of childhood fantasy gunplay has triggered basic yet complex questions as: should we allow our children to play with manufactured toy guns? Should we ban them altogether? Should we discourage children from using ordinary household items and play objects as pretend guns?
Are moms and dads who allow their kids gunplay 'bad' parents? Will I raise an overly aggressive child if I allow him or her to play with toy guns? And if I do, will my children and I be shunned by other parents?
Our society has yet to work out all the answers.
Stories abound of nervous school officials, in their well-intentioned but overzealous attempts to prevent another school shooting, meting out harsh punishments – including arrest, suspension, and even expulsion – for violations as minor as saying "pow" while pointing a human or a cooked chicken finger at a fellow grade-school student.
Of "zero-tolerance" parents pulling their children out of birthday parties, preschools, or simply off the playground because another child used his finger or the nearest stick as a pretend gun.
And of tragic incidents during which a law enforcement official, having mistaken a toy gun for a real one, shot and killed the child handling it. Such stories and more like them every day continue to kindle debate over what place, if any, toy guns and fantasy gunplay have in American society.
With so many highly publicized gun-related mass killings in our country over the past decade, there is little wonder that growing numbers of parents shudder at the thought of allowing their child to play with manufactured toy guns, or to engage in fantasy gunplay.
There is little wonder too when on our television screens, if not outside our front doors, we see firsthand evidence of the U.S having far more gun violence and more guns – 240 million of them – than any other country not at war, and many that are.
When it comes to guns, as it has come to be with so many cultural issues, we have become a nation of extremes. At one end, we take the subject of real guns far too cavalierly, at the price of the deaths to gun violence of eight children and teenagers each day, and of over one million Americans over the past forty years – more than died in all the wars of the 20th century.
At the other, we have allowed political correctness to overwhelm common sense in the manner in which we sometimes admonish young children – and the parents who let them – who pretend play with fantasy weaponry. Ask yourself this: is it silly or sensible to shun friendships with otherwise loving and strong families who allow their children fantasy gun or swordplay?
Children have played fantasy games involving the triumph of good over evil quite probably for centuries. Make-believe games and fighting play are a part of how children make sense of the world, of how they work out their impulses and the internal struggles we all share between our better and darker angels.
Many of today's adults, predominantly men, can recall fond childhood memories of playing Daniel Boone and Davy Crockett, complete with coonskin cap and gun, or of joining with friends to play cowboys and Indians, cops and robbers, pirates, Jedis, soldiers or spies. There are 100 million adults or more in this country who as children played with fantasy weaponry – manufactured or improvised – and did not grow up to be Hannibal Lecter.
Which is why we must take care not to label as "violent behavior" what is really just playful aggression coupled with vibrant imagination. Rough and tumble play, even if involves fantasy weaponry, is often a healthy way for children to resolve competitiveness and form friendships. Children who play in fantasy battles with fighting toys are not doomed to live a life of crime.
As many a pacifist parent can attest, kids can turn anything into guns. Children are terrifically inventive, and can make the most unlikely object serve as a gun. Fingers, sticks, Legos, Tinker Toys – just about anything can be aimed and fired, complete with self-generated sound effects. Weaponry is just something some children are drawn to.
Especially boys. There seems to be something hard-wired with the Y chromosome that leads many boys to see a fully automatic rifle in a moss-covered branch, or a gleaming Arthurian sword in a cardboard paper towel tube. How do we tell the young child to resist this natural instinct?
We don't, and should not. We should do away with the political correctness which has led to the punishing or avoidance of children for playing action hero games, or pretending to "fire" guns using their fingers, or their sister's Barbie.
When it comes to fantasy gun and swordplay using improvised weapons, we should allow this type of channeling of aggression, all the while keeping close tabs on how it manifests itself. Play is play and violence is violence, and the wise parent recognizes the former and intervenes in the latter.
The wise parent also teaches their child every day to understand and respect the rights of others, and teaches them tolerance for diversity and how to resolve conflict through non-violent means. And the wise and nowadays all too rare parent prevents their child's exposure to violent television, movies, and video games at home and, just as crucially, when at the home of a friend.
But the loaded question is whether as parents do we enable the next step in pretend gunplay and buy toy guns for our children? The answer hinges on whether realistic toy guns themselves increase the tendency toward violence and the use of real guns at a later age.
While parents and child health experts on both sides of this debate are vehement in their viewpoints, the best that can be said of years of research is that little evidence exists either to support a cause-and-effect relationship between toy guns and aggression, or to discount one.
What is known with more certainty, however, is that when exposed to realistic toy guns while exposed regularly to realistic violence on television and in movies and video games, the natural aggressive drive of some children is exacerbated, and the child is more likely to grow up violent.
Said simply, play guns and swords are not harming our children so much as unrestricted exposure to the many forms of violent media available to them.
In a loving home in which there is a strong emphasis on education and respect, and a firm hand on the remote, a child's natural aggressive drive usually becomes a healthy competitiveness and ambition. In such a home, whether or not parents allow fantasy gun or swordplay, or provide cap pistols or squirt guns, is ultimately of little matter.
Personally I do not support the purchase of realistic toy guns. But I believe that allowing a child to play with a manufactured toy gun is not the same as encouraging violence, so long as the family bonds are strong, the education is consistent and repetitious, and the television is off.
As a society, we need therefore to worry less about gunplay and more about keeping our families strong.

§ 2. Conspiracy of Michael and Murder of Leo The reign of leo closes with another act in the historical drama which opened with the revolt of Bardanes Turcus. We have seen how the Emperor Leo bestowed offices on his two companions, Michael and Thomas. But Michael was not to prove himself more loyal to his Armenian comrade who had outstripped him than he had formerly shown himself to his Armenian inister who had trusted him. Thomas indeed had faithfully clung to the desperate cause of the rebel; but he was not to bear himself with, equal faith to a more legitimate lord.
The treason of Thomas is not by any means as clear as the treason of Michael. But this at least seems to be certain, that towards the end of the year 820" he organized a revolt in the East; that the Emperor, forming a false conception of the danger, sent an inadequate force, perhaps under an incomjetent commander, to quell the rising, and that this force was defeated by the rebel.
But with Thomas we have no further concern now; our instant concern is with the commander of the Excubitors, who was more directly under the Imperial eye. It appears that Michael had fallen under the serious suspicion of the Emperor.
I Gen. 18. ? 16. 28. For his new wall at Blacherna. see below, p. 94.
Cont. Th. 30. * The date is not given, but may
be inferred with tolerable certainty. If the rebellion had broken out sooner
than a month or two before Leo's death, Leo would have been con. strainoil to deal seriously with it, and we should have heard about the operations. For the statement of Michael in his letter to Lewis the Pious sec Appendix V.
The evidence against him was so weighty that he had hardly succeeded in freeing himself from the charge of treason. He was a rough man, without education or breeding; and while he could not speak polite Greek, his tongue lisped insolently against the Emperor. Perhaps he imagined that Leo was afraid of him; for, coarse and untrained as he may have been, Michael proved himself afterwards to be a man of ability, and does not strike us as one who was likely to have been a reckless babbler. He spoke doubtless these treasonable things in the presence of select friends, but he must have known well how perilous words he uttered. The matter came to the ears of the Emperor, who, unwilling to resort to any extreme measure on hearsay, not only set eavesdroppers to watch the words and deeds of his disaffected officer, but took care that he should be privately admonished to control his tongue. These offices he specially entrusted to the Logothete of the Course, John Hexabulios, a discreet and experienced man, whom we met before on the occasion of the return of Michael Rangabó to the city after the defeat at Hadrianople.' We may feel surprise that he who then reproved Michael I. for his folly in leaving the army in Leo's hands, should now be the trusted minister of Leo himself. But we shall find him still holding office and enjoying influence in the reign of Leo's
The same man who has the confidence of the First Michael, and warns him against Leo, wins the confidence of Leo, and warns him against another Michael, then wins the confidence of the Second Michael, and advises him on his dealing with an unsuccessful rebel. Had the rebellion of Thomas prospered, Hexabulion would doubtless have been a trusted minister of Thomas too.
Michael was deaf to the warnings and rebukes of the Logothete of the Course ; he was indifferent to the dangers in which his unruly talk seemed certain to involve him. The matter came to a crisis on Christmas Eve, A.D. 820. Hexabulios had gained information which pointed to a conspiracy organized by Michael and had laid it before the Emperor. The peril which threatened the throne could no longer be overlooked, and the wrath of Leo himself was furious. Michael was arrested, and the day before the feast Above, p. 27.

successor.
of Christmas was spent in proving his guilt. The inquiry was held in the chamber of the State Secretaries, and the Emperor presided in person. The proofs of guilt were so clear and overwhelming that the prisoner himself was constrained to confess his treason. After such a long space
of patience the wrath of the judge was all the more terrible, and he passed the unusual sentence that his old companionin-arms should be fastened to a pole and cast into the furnace which heuted the baths of the Palace. That the indignity might be grenter, an ape was to be tied to the victim, in recollection perhaps of the old Roman punishment of parricides.
This sentence would have been carried out and the reign of leo would not have come to an untimely end, if the Empress Theodosia had not intervened. Shocked at the news of the atrocious sentence, she rose from her couch, and, not even taking time to put on her slippers, rushed to the Emperor's presence, in order to prevent its execution. If she had merely exclaiined against the barbarity of the decree, she mighi not have compassed her wish, but the very day of the event helped her. It was Christmas Eve.
It was Christmas Eve. How could the Emperor dare, with hands stained by such foul cruelty, to receive the holy Sucrainent on the morrow? Must he not be ashamed that such an act should be associated with the feast of the Nativity? These arguments appealed to the pious Christian. But Theodosia had also an arguinent which might appeal to the prudent sovran : let the punishment be postponed; institute a stricter investigation, and discover the naines of all those who have been implicated in the plot. The appeal of the Einpress was not in vain. Her counsels and her entreaties affected the mind of her husband. But while he consented to defer his final decision, it would seem that he had misgivings, and that soine dim feeling of danger entered into him. He is reported to have snid: "Wife, you have released my soul from sin to-day; perhaps it will soon cost me my life too. You and our children will see what shall happen."
In those days men were ready to see fatal omens and foreshadowings in every chance event and random word. The Emperor lay awake long on the night following that Christmas Eve, tossing in his mind diver's grave omens, which seemed to point to some mortal peril, and to signify Michuel as the instrument. There was the unlucky chance thut on the day of his coronation Michael had trodden on his cloak. But there were other signs more serious and more recent. Froin a book of oracles and symbolic pictures? Leo had discovered the time of his death. A lion pierced in the throat with a sword was depicted between the letters Chi and Phi. These are the first letters of the Greek expressions ? which mean Christmas and Epiphany, and therefore the symbol was explained that the Imperial lion was to be slain between those two feasts. As the hours went on to Christmas morning the Lion might feel uneasy in his lair. And a strange dream, which he had dreamt a short time before, expressly signified that Michael would be the cause of his death. The Patriarch Tarasius had appeared to him with threatening words and gestures, and had called sternly upon one Michael to slay the sinner. It seemed to Leo that Michael obeyed the command, and that he himself was left half dend.
1 Gen. 20 περί τον των ασηκρητίων xwpov. These offices were situated not
far from the Lansiakos (cp. Bioliaev, i. 167).
Tortured with such fears the Emperor bothought him to muko further provisions for the sutety of the prisoner whose punishment he had deforred. He summoned the keeper (papias) of the Palace and bade him keep Michael in one of the rooms which were assigned to the Palace-sweepers, and to fasten his feet in fetters. Leo, to make things doubly sure, kept the key of the fetters in the pocket of his under-garmeut. But still his fears would not let him slumber, and as the night wore on he resolved to convince himself with his own eyes that the prisoner was safe. Along the passages which led to the room which for the time had been turned into a dungeon, there were locked doors to pass. But they were not solid enough to shut out the Emperor, who was a strong man and eusily smashed or unhinged them. He found the prisoner sleeping on the pallet or bench of the keeper, and the keeper himself sleeping on the floor. He suw none save these two, but unluckily there was another present who saw him. A little boy ' in the service of Michael, who had been allowed (doubtless irregularly) to bear his master company, heard the approaching steps and crept under the couch, from which hiding-place he observed the movements of Leo, whom he recognized as the Emperor by his red boots. Leo bent over Michael and laid his hand on his breast, to discover whether the beating of his heart pointed to anxiety or security. When there was no response to his touch, the Emperor marvelled much that his prisoner enjoyed such a sound and careless sleep. But he was vexed at the circumstance that the keeper had resigned his couch to the criminal; such leniency seemed undue and suspicious. Perhaps he was vexed too that the guardian was himself asleep. In any case the lad under the bed observed him, as he was retiring from the cell, to shake his hand threateningly at both the guardian and the prisoner. The unseen spectator of Leo's visit reported the matter to his master, and when the keeper of the Palace Silw that he too was in jeopardy they took common counsel to save their lives. The only chance was to effect a communication with the other conspirators, whose names had not yet been revealed. The Emperor had directed that, if Michael were moved to confess his sins and wished for ghostly consolation, the offices of a priest should not be withheld froin him, and the matter was entrusted to a certain Theoktistos, who was a servant of Michael, perhaps one of the Excubitors. It certainly seems strange that Leo, who took such anxious precautions in other ways, should have allowed the condemned to hold any converse with one of his own faithful dependants. The concession proved fatal. The keeper led Theoktistos to Michael's presence, and Theoktistos soon left the Palace, under the plea of fetching a minister of religion, but really in order to arrange a plan of rescue with the other conspirators. He assured the accomplices that, if they did not come to deliver the prisoner froin death, Michael would not hesitate to reveal their names.

Untold numbers of Lehigh Valley workers have joined the 'Great Resignation.' Here are their stories
By Stephanie Sigafoos and Molly Bilinski
Scott Carey, co-owner of Slate Belt Butchery, shows off some cuts of meat Tuesday, Jan. 18, 2022, in his Saylorsburg butcher shop. Carey quit his marketing job to become a butcher. (April Gamiz/The Morning Call )
The path from working in corporate marketing to running a butcher shop is more direct than you'd imagine.
Scott Carey followed it, trading his business suit for an apron as he became part of the pandemic phenomenon called the "Great Resignation," a workforce migration that saw millions leave their job in pursuit of something more meaningful than a paycheck.
"It's been a crazy ride," said Carey, an Easton resident who turned his hobby of smoking meats in his backyard into a business, Slate Belt Butchery in Saylorsburg. It's grown robustly across the two years of COVID-19 — Carey just hired his first full-time employee ― and it's one study in how the pandemic made people keenly aware of what they loved and what they loathed about the world of work.
Some, like Carey, weren't necessarily unhappy at their jobs but were eager to see if they could make a living at what they loved. Others sized up their workplaces and found them lacking in fundamental ways.
The Lehigh Valley was no exception. Workers left their jobs after feeling unsafe, overworked, disrespected and underappreciated. Among the dozens of online comments, emails, messages and phone calls from those invited to tell their stories to The Morning Call, many spoke of a constant state of discontent in these extraordinary times.
[ Thinking about quitting your job? Some advice from those who did, and what you should consider ]
Some workers described how the continued waves of coronavirus infection left them scrambling with health concerns, child care issues and constant fatigue. Others say companies who spoke of employees as "family" treated them as anything but, constantly pushing work beyond normal business hours. Others forced remote workers back to offices where masks and vaccines were optional.
After 22 years in banking, Sarah Dandridge of Pennsburg, Montgomery County, quit her job after "a lot of eye-opening experiences" and a major health scare in July 2020. At the time, she had a 7-month-old daughter at home and "started seeing things in a whole different light."
Dandridge said she did a lot of soul searching and put feelers out to leave her job in the spring of 2021. A new role emerged, albeit with less vacation time and a smaller paycheck. She doesn't regret it.
"My new job pays significantly less, but it offers the flexibility to work from home and no more long days, no more Saturdays, no more corporate America. No more stress. It's amazing you don't realize what stress at work can do to you," Dandridge said.
Hers is one of many stories where remote work, flexible hours, autonomy and trust outweighed wages and benefits, and workers started thinking more about what they really want.
'Quits' hit historic levels
It's accurate to say that many workers had enough of their jobs in 2021, but the numbers were shocking to economists as they evolved in real time.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics said "quits" hit a high in September, with over 4.4 million people leaving their jobs. That was followed by a modest dip in October before surging to historic levels of 4.5 million in November. It was the highest number reported by the bureau since it began keeping track December 2000.
"It's an interesting economy," said Ahmed S. Rahman, associate professor of economics at Lehigh University. "The labor market, in some respects, looks very healthy. But also, there's a lot of churn, it's like a lot of just flow. People are leaving and joining positions at a very, very rapid clip."
Andrea Kiskeravage of Allentown worked in the thick of COVID as a nurse care manager at one of the area's largest health networks, but said her experience during the pandemic shifted her priorities.
"I left there and took a travel assignment, and now I work with Afghan refugees at Fort Dix," Kiskeravage said. "I've never felt more fulfilled in my career and I'm taking care of kind, respectful people who are grateful to be here. ... This brings me joy and this [job] found me."
[ Public displays of resignation: People aren't just leaving their jobs. They are broadcasting it. ]
Similarly, Jonas Bloomfield of Bethlehem decided the stress of his part-time job as a lighting technician for ArtsQuest wasn't worth it.
"I just realized that, due to conditions in the economy right now with that perceived labor shortage and there being work available out there, I felt that it's a good opportunity to remove myself to save myself some stress," Bloomfield said, explaining that he had asked for a raise. "[Not getting] that put a sour taste in my mouth, which also was another factor that led me into the decision to resign — wage was a big part of the decision."
Nicole Harrell, director of communications for ArtsQuest, declined to comment.
The wave of resignations in the wake of a robust economy with record low unemployment only a couple of years ago also show that "probably a lot of those people weren't very happy in their jobs," Rahman said.
For Kiskeravage, feeling like a commodity to her hospital and dealing with a lack of support made the day-to-day frustrations worse. She struggled to reconcile why she became a nurse with the current realities of the health care industry, and said moving to a travel nursing stint saved her career.
"This could end in a week or a month, but it's been a long time since I've had joy in my career. I'm willing to take that risk," she said.
Searching for flexibility
Tom Young of Saylorsburg chose to quit his family's business in Bethlehem so he could spend more time with his wife and three children. He's selling groceries and apparel on Amazon full time, and teaching others to do the same through his website and YouTube pages, Residual Hustler. He not only gets more family time, but makes more money.
"I think probably about half of what I learned in my family's business has moved over to the Amazon business," Young said, explaining he started selling on Amazon in 2015.
But it wasn't easy telling his parents he was leaving the family business, he said.
"[My father] said to me a couple of times throughout the years, 'You know, instead, if you were to dedicate that much time to the family business, we could be making a lot more money.' And I said, 'That's true, but I wouldn't be home. I wouldn't be with my kids. I would be here in a store, having to deal with customers, which is not always fun.' "
Turning passion into paychecks
Workers aren't just leaving their jobs for better wages or culture; they're also leaving to pursue their passions or hobbies, taking the opportunity to see if they can make money doing what they love.
Carey, the butcher, took time off to learn the trade, then went back to work in an office to make money before starting his business.
"With the meat industry, during COVID, a lot of people struggled to find processing," he said. "There's already a high demand for meat processing going into COVID and the pandemic really just kind of amplified that whole situation."
He and a friend opened Slate Belt Butchery in August 2020 in Saylorsburg, processing for one farm. But demand soon made it apparent he could take on more customers.
"I think by the time March rolled around, we had to be at about 15 customers," Carey said, prompting him to hire two butchers. "They've been with me all year and we grew. We have just over 40 farm customers that we process for, and then in December, I hired my first full-time employee.

"It's been a crazy ride," he said.
Don Andreas quit his job of two decades as a credit manager for a manufacturing company to make wine.
Andreas, of Bangor, picked up winemaking as a hobby in 2018, when his daughter went to college, he said. Then, after his boss retired that year, he was told he wasn't going to be promoted.
"I don't remember the rest of what we talked about at that review, because in my head all I was saying is 'You are not going to retire from this company. We've got to figure out what is Plan B and come up with a new path.' "
He started taking winemaking classes the next year, and eventually decided to pull $50,000 from his 401K to try out winemaking full time.
"It would stink to lose that much money, but I would still have enough, and I would survive," he said. "And I thought I would rather be able to say I tried then to just roll with the punches where I was."
He opened Clever Girl Winery on Labor Day Weekend 2020, and said the job lets him be creative — something he couldn't do previously.
"In the winemaking process, we're all trying to figure out like what's going to be the new, neat thing that really captures the public's attention in the wine industry," Andreas said, adding that he was a musician for 30 years. "It was definitely a great creative outlet for me to go in such a direction that I didn't have at a previous job."
He started rolling back his hours at his full-time job in March, and by September was showing up only one day a month.
Lauren and Juan Vargas aren't just husband and wife, now they're business partners as well. Both of them left corporate jobs in the Lehigh Valley during the pandemic, and will be opening Nowhere Coffee Co. at 3127 Tilghman St. in Allentown by the end of the month. They give a tour of the location Friday, Jan. 14, 2022. (April Gamiz/The Morning Call )
Personal and professional
Allentown residents Juan and Lauren Vargas both left director-level corporate jobs last year, at a time when they were "just under 40 and with three kids in elementary and middle school."
Juan was an assistant treasurer at Victaulic and Lauren developed and lead company-wide training for leaders at B. Braun at the beginning of the pandemic.
"We watched our leaders not change. We watched systems not adapt," they said in their initial outreach to The Morning Call. "We couldn't make the difference we wanted to for ourselves, let alone our employees. We decided it was time to build something of our own."
Now, they're co-owners of Nowhere Coffee Co., which will soon open its doors at 3127 Tilghman St. in Allentown. Both say it will feature, among other things, progressive pay systems and management styles.
"We're offering a really good base pay, and I think one of the things that sets us apart is that we're offering a volume bonus," Lauren said, while Juan noted their objective is treating future employees "like they have a family to go home to, rather than promising to just treat them like family."
Both hope their big quit in the corporate world will lead to a moment of reflection for everyone on why workers are so burnt out and what employers need to do to retain them.

"While we acknowledge the challenging labor market, Victaulic is very proud of our ability to attract and retain employees," said Carlos Valdes, director of HR at Victaulic.
Alli Longenhagen, associate director of corporate communications at B. Braun, said the company "has not been immune to the changing dynamics of the U.S. workforce," but its employees "are committed to the purpose of protecting and improving the lives of patients in the Lehigh Valley and across the country."
"Their dedication to the work we do is evident in that fact that 21% of our employees here in the Lehigh Valley have stayed with the company for more than 20 years. We are also evolving our culture to meet employees where they are, with initiatives like flexible work arrangements and 8 new employee resource groups," Longenhagen said.
Rahman, the Lehigh University professor, described the waves of resignations as a reinvention, reassessment and realignment in the labor market.
"Jobs and your career, it's part of your life, but it's not your whole life," he said. "And I think now, what COVID has done is sort of forced us to think about that — how we calibrate our own existence."

When Brian Lara left and Darren Bravo entered, it was hard for many fans around the Caribbean (and by extension the globe) to hide their feelings towards the similarities of both Trinidad and Tobago batsmen. But then again, it was hard for the younger Bravo to hide the obvious similarities in batting style between him and T&T's prince. It's never easy to be compared to a legend and one of the world's greatest, and it's even harder to live up to those expectations.
However, Darren showed extraordinary potential very early in his career. He might have had to wait a long time for his first century at the international level ( 31 ODIs, nine Tests and four T20Is to be exact), but when he got it in his 10th Test match against Bangladesh, he made it a big one. He scored 195 runs, falling agonizingly short of a double-century. He scored two more tons in the series in India immediately after. After 12 Test matches, his run aggregate and average were identical to Lara's after 12 matches.
Bravo made his debut again to the Test match scene in the West Indies vs England Series, 2019. Like his role-model though, Bravo will be hoping to be his best in the same colours Lara did it in.

just been looking at all these messages after Syvie Dexter has just spoken to me on the phone.
ONLY THEN WILL YOU HEAR THE TRUTH.
Ok thats fine just let us know a time and joni will sort it.
You can blame me for the breakup of the band if you wish but i''m afraid not only my was my back causing me problems this year but joni realised without me subsidizing the fuel he was gigging for little or nothing.
They were both happy to continue playing with you until the end of the year as they told you. With all that was going on in your life neither of then wanted to make more problems for you wether you believe that or not.
Joni/sylvi can make their own decisions on what they want to do in the future and that has nothing to do with me.
The fact that they both wanted to earn a bit of extra cash on Sundays and midweek doing their duo work would not have affected the band.
it''s now being conciderd that Rob Woodhouse does not have a right to use the name nitecurfew.
that the band sould still be called nitecurfew. Only that the work load that is set out between now and the end of 07 will be honoured despite line up changes. Sylvie and Joni have gone, in pursuit of their Duo work. And it was this that brought on their departure.
cancelling nite curfew band work to follow a greater profit.
Rob Woodhouse Arranged 85% of the work. And so is his duty to all to continue.Also Daniel Coyle & Jax are still in the line up. Jax will take the lead vocal & new boy Mal Saunders will provide guitar. Rob worked in his own band prior to all this for 15 years, it may even be conciderd to refer to THE BACKBEATS it useing the nitecurfew title is a problem.
new members are already in place.
hiya louisa,just to say had a fantastic night at lowestoft,great entertainment.will see you again at the duke of edinburgh bacton.
I would like to say that here at the Norfolk Gig Guide we remain impartial to all the views and arguments on this board. I'd also like to point out that the message board logs IP addresses, browser and ISP details. These can also be cross-referenced with the details logged by the "Site Meter" at the bottom of the left hand column (click it and find out how detailed it is). Don't worry, your privacy is secure, we don't know who people are but we can tell when he same person leaves numerous messages under false names ;-) and it's also enough information for any official authority to approach the relevant ISP to dig in their records ( such at BT Internet ) and pin point exactly who has been abusing this message board. The recent Night Curfew / Haddiscoe Crown incident needs to be carried out between the relevant parties and we won't get involved but should one of the sides of the argument choose to take it further we would be forced to hand over all the logged details. Sorry folks, it's for everybody's benefit in the end. ( See 'How private is information I leave on the message board?' in the FAQ section ).
rather too far sometimes. I think what they need to remember is that they have only the one pub, and some are only a year away from bankrupcy. However bands have millions of pubs to perform in.
Is as up the wall as his Simon Cowell veiws.
in response to all emails concerning myself and my pub.I think you will find all emails will be conected to all the bands.they did play all night and they were professional from the minute they arived playing backing music talking to me.also offerd to clean cars on the car park. the sort of band i would like to play in my venue.I do have a problem with paying professional bands ask, sam sillett ?,cory lewis?,coupe de ville?,leon,stone pony,cold played,jon quinn,etc etc.in 15 years in this buisiness i think i have had a problem all life my wife just laughed at the alegations of me fancing their lead singer as i did.sorry to bore all the people who read proper messages and dont use this service to slander people and try to mislead people.i think this has happened to save there bookings in case i wrote the truth about there short but excellent performance.this i didnt have time to do but now have had to find.please send the solicitors letter i will gladley deal with it, what ever name or email address you are using today.this will be my last words on the mater.sorry for boring genuine messengers.

At Thackeray Dental Care Mansfield we take complaints very seriously indeed and try to ensure that all patients are pleased with their experience of our service. When patients complain, they are dealt with courteously and promptly so that the matter is resolved as quickly as possible. This procedure is based on these objectives.
Simon Thackeray or Sam Poyser.
If a patient complains on the telephone or at the reception desk, we will listen to his or her complaint and offer to refer him or her to a Senior Manager or Simon Thackeray immediately.
If one of the above is not available at the time, then the patient will be told when he or she will be able to talk to the dentist and arrangements will be made for this to happen. The member of staff will take brief details of the complaint and pass them on. If we cannot arrange this within a reasonable period or if the patient does not wish to wait to discuss the matter, arrangements will be made for someone else to deal with it.

Looking Towards Rio+20 | NGO Sustainability, Inc.
In preparation for the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development Rio+20, a 2nd Intersessional Meeting was held on December 15-16, 2012 at the UN Headquarters. The two-day meeting was organized to discuss the 'Compilation Document' submitted by Member States, Major Groups and Non Governmental Organization in preparation for the 'Zero Draft', an outcome document for Rio+20. The Rio+20 Conference will focus on two themes: (a) green economy in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication; and (b) the institutional framework for sustainable development.
In their statements, the G77 group highlighted the implementation gap of past agreements notably the Johannesburg Declaration on Sustainable Development and pushed for fulfilling the financial commitments by developed countries. Member countries from Africa voiced their concern for the more development support to Africa while the Least Developed Countries asked for inclusion of inter-generational equity, inclusion of gender, financial and technological security and protection of the most vulnerable countries. Similarly, the Association of Small Island States (AOSIS) asked for the inclusion of the 'blue economy' in protecting the oceans by reducing overfishing and protecting marine ecosystem. All countries voiced their support for an 'action oriented strong political agreement' with emphasis on poverty reduction, biodiversity protection, agriculture and sustainable development, while the US was quick to voice their concern against any binding agreement and a single negotiation text at Rio+20. Russia and India stated that developing countries must be permitted to grow and should not be restricted by the 'excessive green protectionism' by the international communities.
In addition, Member countries also discussed the Institutional Framework for Sustainable Development. The key perspective raised were strengthening the three pillars of sustainable development i.e. social, economic and development, strengthening UNEP for environmental governance, creating an energy agency and either reforming of UNCSD or creating a Sustainable Development Council. Member States also stated that institutions of economic and financial governance must be included along with the UN entities themselves for improving governance for sustainable development.

Thermal effects of carbonated hydroxyapatite modified by glycine and albumin

Division for Foreign Languages
In this work calcium phosphate powders were obtained by precipitation method from simulated solutions of synovial fluid containing glycine and albumin. X-ray diffraction and IR spectroscopy determined that all samples are single-phase and are presented by carbonate containing hydroxyapatite (CHA). The thermograms of solid phases of CHA were obtained and analyzed; five stages of transformation in the temperature range of 25-1000°C were marked. It is shown that in this temperature range dehydration, decarboxylation and thermal degradation of amino acid and protein connected to the surface of solid phase occur. The tendency of temperature lowering of the decomposition of powders synthesized from a medium containing organic substances was determined. Results demonstrate a direct dependence between the concentration of the amino acid in a model solution and its content in the solid phase.

From my point of view, whoever spreads this sort of bile around is a coward, content to deposit the hateful publication rolled up like a grocery store circular and thrilled to hide behind the loathsome Dr. Fields' contact information. I say, if it's important enough to purchase and distribute it, then it's important enough to stick your own name on it and give it your personal, local seal of approval.
If you are so proud of it, why hide? Why not let your neighbors know that if they are immigrants or if they are blacks or if they are Jewish, you don't want them in North Adams? Besides, as the person who is passing on "the truth at last" on a local level, shouldn't you get the credit you deserve?
Unfortunately racism is alive an well in North County. We've all seen it. We've all heard it. The least you can do the next time you witness someone ranting against "them" is not to let it pass unchallenged.
Somebody needs to teach that boy a lesson!
Moon Karl Rove, and you'll be arrested. When the politico spoke on American University's campus in April, he was met by a throng of angry Democratic students' behinds as they dropped trou and blocked Rove's motorcade. Most of the kids were given 40 hours of community service by the university, but on Friday, the cheeky group was notified that the Secret Service has issued warrants for their arrest. Details are bare, but the students are reportedly being charged with crossing a police line and disorderly conduct.
There appears to be truth to the rumor that Karl is a vindictive little snot. The fact that almost 5 months have passed since the event and the kids involved were disciplined by the college, you might think that Rove would have ignored that last little thing on his "To Do List" and not called the Secret Service to "take care of" those damn-hippie-kids who ruined his night. What a friggin' jerk!
Maybe Michigan vs Ohio State gets me a little riled up but this whole Yankees vs Red Sox thing just leaves me shaking my head.
We've been seeing, hearing and reading a lot of pseudo-funny churlishness from Brooks – a lot of Brooks, period. Maybe NPR, PBS, and Times audiences have been calling in, demanding, "More David Brooks!" More likely, editors and producers think him a conservative congenial to liberals like themselves. It doesn't hurt that many conservatives think him a traitor. But could a sophist be a conservative at all? Can't we have a conservative with integrity? The latest Brooksian overkill forces that question.
Sophistry is clever but misleading reasoning. The conservative historian Russell Kirk described the ancient Greek Sophists as I'll shortly portray Brooks: "'realistic,' sardonic," able to pass off trickery or intimidation as righteous persuasion. They were "impelled by their passions and low interests, their illusions, even at the moment they claimed to speak as practical logicians and champions of common sense…. Sophists taught the young men of Athens… the way to material success, especially through public speaking before the assembly or in cases at law." Too few students noticed (or regretted) that Sophists led them "not to truth but to worldly success."
The alternative to sophistry isn't really pure leftism or conservatism. Demanding either would let Brooks off the hook, for no American-republican thinker with integrity can be ideologically consistent. What we need is clarity about which principles you're advancing and about your difficulties in reconciling them. Sophistry puts great intelligence and rhetorical charm at the service not of reasonable truth-seeking but of perversity and power. People like Brooks are drawn to it not intellectually but characterologically.
But what about his editors, producers, and on-air interlocutors? The most memorable portrait of Brooks' sophistic evasions is by Nicholas Confessore in 2004 in the Washington Monthly. I've occasionally sketched his evasions myself. The old saw about New York editors is that they don't think; they "do lunch," and there they learn what to think. But it is unfair. They simply don't have time to read and think about pieces like the above.
There is a reason why the blogosphere has great contempt for Mr. 'I understand middle America because I am smarter than them' Brooks and Tom 'dead Iraqis are fine as long as the Arabs learn a lesson' Friedman. The reason is simple. They are wrong about the big issues far more often than they a right, but they count on the collective amnesia of editors, producers and readers to ply their "wisdom."
The ability to write well does not mean you have a damn thing to actually say. The sooner the cocktail party geniuses who allowed us to get to where we are in America realize this, the better off we will all be.
And ex-CIA agent, Larry Johnson, had a few choice words for Bobo, his neighbor, a little while back about Valerie Plame and the state of Brook's mailbox.
If our operations produce more enemies than they defeat, no amount of force is sufficient to prevail. Current oversight efforts have proved inadequate, allowing the executive branch, the services and lobbyists to present information that is sometimes incomplete, inaccurate or self-serving. Exercising adequate oversight will require members of Congress to develop the expertise necessary to ask the right questions and display the courage to follow the truth wherever it leads them.
Finally, Congress must enhance accountability by exercising its little-used authority to confirm the retired rank of general officers. By law, Congress must confirm an officer who retires at three- or four-star rank. In the past this requirement has been pro forma in all but a few cases. A general who presides over a massive human rights scandal or a substantial deterioration in security ought to be retired at a lower rank than one who serves with distinction. A general who fails to provide Congress with an accurate and candid assessment of strategic probabilities ought to suffer the same penalty. As matters stand now, a private who loses a rifle suffers far greater consequences than a general who loses a war.
On the lower end of the scale, things have changed — but for the worse. West Point cadets are obligated to stay in the Army for five years after graduating. In a typical year, about a quarter to a third of them decide not to sign on for another term. In 2003, when the class of 1998 faced that decision, only 18 percent quit the force: memories of 9/11 were still vivid; the war in Afghanistan seemed a success; and war in Iraq was under way. Duty called, and it seemed a good time to be an Army officer. But last year, when the 905 officers from the class of 2001 had to make their choice to stay or leave, 44 percent quit the Army. It was the service's highest loss rate in three decades.
Col. Don Snider, a longtime professor at West Point, sees a "trust gap" between junior and senior officers. There has always been a gap, to some degree. What's different now is that many of the juniors have more combat experience than the seniors. They have come to trust their own instincts more than they trust orders. They look at the hand they've been dealt by their superiors' decisions, and they feel let down.
What immediately comes to mind are the WWII era officers whose understanding of the actualities of war itself helped keep the cold war cold. The modern generals described in Lt. Col. Yingling's article probably would not have been so prudent.
Bridges' issue is just one of many hiccups those trying to comply with the ambitious state law have run into since it went into effect nearly two months ago. Many find they are earning just above 300 percent of poverty — right around $30,000 a year for a single-person household — and don't qualify for state-subsidized health care, but make too little to afford the monthly premiums.
One 67-year-old Lowell woman who falls into that category said she's unable to pay for the $608 monthly premium offered by the cheapest insurance provider and might have to take the $219 charge against her taxes instead of complying with the new law.
The argument has been that health insurance should be treated like auto insurance - you have to have it. That's a great approach to pooling risk, but a lousy way if you have very expensive premiums that kick in at $30K a year.
This approach needs *major* revisions if Beacon Hill doesn't want a huge revolt on their hands when the penalties for not having insurance become more and more draconian. Mark my words. That is going to happen with the current plan.
My biggest fear is that the plan will implode and set the cause of universal coverage back by a decade. Remember the political damage done by the failure of the Clinton healthcare task force in '93-'94? It bought us Speaker Gingrich.
I just listened to the minority leader of the NY State Assembly, Jim Tedisco, refer to Rudy Giuliani as "someone who has actually fought terrorists."

Too bad W ain't one of them. He's too busy trying to finagle these numbers so they look like they are the result of the troop escalation. I guess he hopes that Americans don't know how to read a map.

I appreciate other perspectives, but give me a break with the not-so-subtle co-opting of your opponent's language and points of view.
check out the twists and turns going on in Albany.
It seems that NY State Senate Majority Leader Joe Bruno (R - Whiny little punk) has hired the nastiest, most disgraceful of all the GOP henchmen, Roger Stone (See pic on left), to try and keep the NY State Senate in GOP hands. Stone's dirty tricks range from Nixon '72 to an active role in the Miami recount riot of 2000 to accusations that he provided the forged Texas Air National Guard Documents documents regarding President Bush's flight suspension to Bill Burkett, who then turned them over to CBS.
Evidently the relationship between the Majority Leader and Stone was supposed to be kept on the down-low while Joe Bruno cried foul about the state police reporting his trips to the executive branch. However the NYTimes now has the story (I guess it took threatening an 87 year old man to catch their attention) and I'd bet a 6-pack that Roger Stone and Joe Bruno will soon be parting ways.
No matter how disillusioned I am with Spitzer regarding his staff's monitoring of Joe Bruno, nothing he has done comes even comes slightly close to the contemptuous actions of Stone and now, by association, Bruno.
This one is going to get really really ugly.
It's no wonder that North Adams Teachers will only speak off-the-record.

The last impromptu Monday night gathering was a good time.
I am presently watching the news reporting on the horrific bridge collapse in Minneapolis. It is rather numbing to see a structure that I have driven across many, many times twisted and crumbled in the Mississippi River.
I used to live just south of downtown Minneapolis and my brother and his family still do. While the odds are overwhelming that no one I know was involved in the collapse, the fact that I can't reach my family members by cell phone has me slightly anxious. It's odd how in 2007 we have grown so used to being able to 'reach out and touch someone' that when technology fails it sends a shudder down the spine.
It was only a couple months ago that I mentioned another historical bridge collapse that happened very near to another former residence. Strange coincidence. Oy. But given my track record, hopefully the Hadley Overpass will get rebuilt soon.
I'm not really joking. If this episode demonstrates anything at all, it is the need to maintain civil infrastructure. It's just too damn bad that it takes tragedies like breached levies and collapsed bridges to remind people that nothing lasts forever.
UPDATE: I just got off the phone with my brother. He was with the kids at Valley Fair south of the Twin Cities and had not even heard the news. It's sad to think that at least a few people will not get similar phone calls.

Researchers Turn To Reality TV For Insight Into Cheating
Margaret Hartmann
Filed to: StudyFiled to: Study
Jealously
In a new study, scientists found that when a partner cheats, men are usually more jealous about the sexual details of infidelity, while women are more upset about the emotional aspects. Or at least, that's what researchers learned from watching TV.
A study conducted by Barry X. Kuhle, an assistant professor of psychology at the University of Scranton, had students analyze 102 confrontations between the couple and the other man or woman on the reality show Cheaters. According to MSNBC, of the men who were cheated on, 57 percent asked their partner about what sex was like with the other partner. The female victims of infidelity only asked about sexual details 29 percent of the time, but focused 71 percent of their questions on the emotions involved.
Plenty of research has concluded that men are more focused on sexual aspects of a relationship while women are more focused on emotions, but there are obvious problems with this study. Kuhle admits that his TV subjects' reactions may have been influenced by producers, or just the fact that they were on TV. Psychiatrist Dr. Gail Saltz, who wasn't involved in the research, says, "an edited TV show [is] perhaps reflective of the mindset of the producer but not a true study."
The research might not tell us much about relationships, but it does provide interesting insight into the difficulties of studying jealousy in relationships. Kuhle may have used the show because it's essentially impossible to study people's reactions to infidelity while they're still in the situation. Scientists can't ask one group of people to cheat and another to stay faithful as a control. Therefore most of the studies we have on jealousy involve researchers asking subjects to imagine what they'd feel like if their partner cheated, or to remember a time when a partner was unfaithful.
Still, consulting reality TV is just as unreliable as asking subjects how they'd react to a certain scenario. It's a bit like trying to analyze why people make horrible decisions when they're drunk by watching Jersey Shore reruns.

A week full of the good type of busy!
April 5, 2017 July 3, 2017 by modernwifelife31Leave a Comment on A week full of the good type of busy!
It was a good week, to have a good week.
Does your life ever feel like everything happens at once or nothing happens at all? I swear that is how our life goes sometimes, it can be so quiet & calm & then suddenly we have so much going on it is crazy.
Well, this past week just gone was a bit like that – but good crazy! A splash of fun chaos into our normally quiet life. We enjoy & cultivate the calm the in our life, we like it. It allows more time for family, resting, spontaneous adventures & less stress – but the odd hint of busyness is ok too! It is all about balance!
Last week was a very busy one for us, it felt like for most of the week we had something to do!
On Wednesday the kids & I headed to the opening of some new stores in our local shopping centre. It was chaos, & not good chaos, people everywhere – like everywhere!! But it got us out of the house and we enjoyed a day out while Trent spent a day sleeping for night shift.
It was my first time going anywhere with the 2 kids – it was a big (slightly insane) decision to decide to brave crazy crowds on my own with them – especially for the first time out, but it went really well and they were really well behaved. We had a lovely time together.
On Thursday Trent came off night shift and it was a rainy day so we spent the day snuggling & resting. The wet weather we were getting was caused by ex-tropical cyclone Debbie. It rained from very early in the morning until late at night. We are fortunate to live in an area that doesn't flood & we also didn't get the super bad storms that many people did, but unfortunately many people in our beautiful state have lost their homes, businesses or had them very badly damaged. We are praying for those people. I encourage you that once the towns that have been affected by Debbie get back on their feet that you pay them a visit, because many of the areas that Debbie first hit were beautiful tourist spots in North Queensland.
Bright cheery blooms on a grey day.
I love going for a walk outside after the rain & taking photos of all the wet plants. I think the rain droplets look a little magical!
Saturday was a really fun & wonderful day! My best friend Kelsie came to town, her & I (& Tommy) headed to a Harry Potter event hosted by the local library & browsed through the markets. Then we went to the shopping centre so we could check out all the new shops! We had the most delicious lunch at a newly opened restaurant – Betty's Burgers. Oh my gosh – so good! And then shopped some more! It was a really fantastic day & just what I needed.
Burgers & wine – my kind of lunch, perfect!
Sunday was church in the morning, then a birthday party around lunch time & then groceries.
By the time Sunday evening came I was exhausted!!
I love having lots of fun things to do, but I also just love our quiet weeks! Busy weeks for us are pretty rare, so that's why I thought I would document this one! I do really enjoy having a quiet life with not a lot happening at once – but I do enjoy on the odd occasion of having a busy & social week.
Let me know below or on my social media.
And finally, in all of living have much fun & laughter. Life is to be enjoyed, not just endured. – Gordon B. Hinckley.
Last week was The Toowoomba Royal Show… We spent some time there on Friday and I thought I would share some of the photos from our lovely day with you all.
We arrived early for when the gates opened which allowed us to visit stalls and walk around while it was still very quiet, which I feel works best for us with LuLu.
LuLu got to bottle feed some animals.
And feed an alpaca some gum leaves!
The 3 of us wandered through the livestock areas, LuLu loved looking at all the calves. She made friends with this little one, "Midnight".
We came home and Trent left for work and later that evening LuLu & I returned to the show for dinner & to watch the fireworks. I really wanted to take LuLu at night, because there is something fun about going to the show at night time!
We played some more side show games, her favourites were the clowns and fishing games.
We had the most lovely day as a family and during the evening LuLu and I really enjoyed our Mumma/daughter time.


I was pleased to be invited by Dr. Richard J. Cohen, Whitaker Professor in Biomedical Engineering, to address a new class he is offering at MIT, called "Medicine for Managers and Entrepreneurs." The goal of the course is to teach a bit about medicine to individuals who have a career interest in starting or managing a biomedical company. The students in the course are a mix of MBA students and graduate students in various science and engineering departments at MIT.
As always, I promised (threatened?) students who asked good questions or gave good answers that they might end up on this blog. I don't have room for them all (and, sorry, but some pictures were blurred) but here's Sahar Hashmi, a soon-to-be Ph.D. and the teaching assistant for the class, who not only had good questions but also had a number of excellent observations about how to bring about change in the health care environment.
And here's Samantha Simmons who is working on a fascinating start-up called Curative Orthopaedics, which designs comfortable orthopedic wear to promote the recovery of broken bones, the healing of musculoskeletal injuries, and the reduction of fibromyalgia pain.
It was privilege to be invited, and I'm sure that the people shown here and their colleagues will make important contributions to the field.

Q: What is the proper noun for the guy sitting beside truck driver? I cannot find the proper noun for the guy who is accompanying the truck driver throughout the journey?Is he considered a truck driver? His responsibility is to drive the truck when the main driver is tired or sleepy.
Also, is there a website or a book that has collection of such jargon?

A: co-driver
See, for example, https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2093791118301070
Whether the truck driver or the co-driver is in charge,  or whether they share responsibility,I don't know. My guess is that one of two drivers makes final decisions about who drives when.

A: Handyman: In India, the one who sits beside a truck driver whose responsibility is to assist the driver in driving with a proper nevigation that helps the driver keeping his driving safe is called a handyman.  While, If both are drivers having the same responsibilities and drive alternatively then they may be simply called co- drivers.

Donna Craig DVM
Donna Craig DVM, CHPV
Donna Clifton Craig is not exactly a native of anywhere, having lived in over 10 US states and traveled extensively during her days in the US Navy. She does, however, claim roots in Florida and is a diehard Florida Gator fan regardless of where she is. She has always had a strong connection to animals since a child and the interest in the weirder pets started with an iguana when she was 12 years old. From there, any animal in need of attention was deserving of her care. She knew from a young age she wanted to be a veterinarian though ended up taking a more scenic route in achieving that goal.
She started her college education at the University of Florida where she played baritone in the Gator Band, and then transitioned to Santa Fe Community College, also in Gainesville, to earn a degree in Biological Parks Technology (Zookeeping). There she discovered a love of herpetology while volunteering at a facility that raised and bred mostly African vipers for venom collection. She gained incredible experience handling all kinds of reptiles and amphibians and moved on to Tyler, Texas, to work as a reptile keeper, eventually enlisting in the U.S. Navy. Her time in the Navy landed her in the Indian Ocean on the island of Diego Garcia, where she was able to feed her interest in herpetology studying the native fauna of the island under the sponsorship of the Smithsonian Institution and British Museum. Once she was discharged from the Navy, she completed her Bachelor's degree in Zoology at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and then shortly after entered veterinary school at Kansas State University in Manhattan, KS.
Since becoming a veterinarian in 2002, Donna has lived/worked in Portland, OR, Tampa, FL, Morganton, NC and finally relocated to Melbourne, FL, in June of 2012. In about 2015 Donna saw a growing trend in requests for end-of-life care for pets. She joined the International Association of Animal Hospice and Palliative Care and in 2018 became one of the first of a handful of veterinary professionals with certification in Hospice and Palliative Care.
Dr. Donna shares her home with her husband, Dale Craig and an ever-changing menagerie of animals, as they both volunteer with wildlife rescue and rehabilitation. Currently, her "normal" animals include 2 dogs: Maya, a Border Collie, aptly nicknamed TDMM (The Divine Miss Maya) and Sierra, a Golden Retriever mix rescued as a senior stray; and 3 cats: Cardemom, Eiryk and Godric.
She is now dedicated to providing a uniquely compassionate service in the comfort of home, where your animals and you are most comfortable. As a small-business owner, competing with the ever-corporate environment of veterinary practices, she hopes you will support her practice and also spread the word about in-home euthanasia. We strive to provide the peaceful passage we all hope for when it is our time.

Nicole is a born Air Force brat, artist, ballerina, Disney weirdo, and all-around animal lover. From nursing random wildlife back to health as a kid to volunteering at an Animal Hospital in High School. Even her mother warned her husband that he would have to be happy living in a zoo! Nicole met Dr. Donna while Donna was working at the vet's office on Patrick AFB in 2013 and have stayed in touch ever since. Nicole began as a receptionist with Outback Mobile Veterinary Service in 2019. She lives beachside with her three dogs, two cats, eight geckos, a snake, a frog, two kids, and a husband.
