Michael L. Miller
In 1867, following the Austro-Hungarian Compromise (Ausgleich), the Habsburg Monarchy was reorganized into a constitutional monarchy, divided into two parts: Cisleithania (or the "Austrian" part of the monarchy), which included Upper Austria, Lower Austria, Styria, Carinthia, Tyrol, Voralberg, Salzburg, Carniola, Dalmatia, Bohemia, Moravia, Silesia, Galicia, and Bukovina; and Transleithania (or the "Hungarian" part of the monarchy), which included the Kingdom of Hungary (including Transylvania), Croatia-Slavonia, and the city of Fiume. At this time, the largest Jewish populations were in Galicia, Bukovina, Hungary, Bohemia, Moravia, and Lower Austria (where Vienna is located). In 1867, the Jews of Austria-Hungary were emancipated, and they were allowed to live in Habsburg territories (such as Carnolia) that were formerly off-limits. By the outbreak of World War I, the Jews of Austria-Hungary were increasingly concentrated in large cities, such as Budapest, Vienna, Lemberg (Lwów/Lvov), Czernowitz, and Prague. Austria-Hungary was highly multinational, yet the scholarship on the monarchy has been written largely within national paradigms. This is also the case with scholarship on the Jews of Austria-Hungary, though there is also a noticeable tendency to focus on Jews in the larger cities, especially Vienna and Budapest.
Due to the multinational and multilingual character of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, few scholars have attempted to write a general, comprehensive history of the Jews of Austria-Hungary. Bihl 1980 and McCagg 1989 represent two attempts, but most scholarship is focused on the Jews of individual Habsburg territories, especially Austria, Hungary, Bohemia, Moravia, and Galicia. There are some histories of the Jews in Croatia and Habsburg Italy (Trieste), but these are usually subsumed into larger narratives on Yugoslav or Italian Jewry.
Bihl, Wolfdieter. "Die Juden." In Die Völker des Reiches. Vol. 3.2 of Die Habsburgermonarchie 1848–1918. Edited by Adam Wandruszka and Peter Urbanitsch, 880–948. Vienna: Österreichische Akademie der Wissenschaften, 1980.
The multivolume series on the Habsburg Monarchy (1848–1918), published by the Austrian Academy of Sciences, includes this entry on "The Jews" in its volume on "The Peoples of the Empire." A survey of the demographic, legal, and social situation, with a focus on economic, educational and cultural achievements, linguistic proclivities, and political tendencies. Describes the Jewish communal organization in the various provinces of the monarchy, with a separate subsection on conversions to Christianity.
McCagg, William O. A History of Habsburg Jews, 1670–1918. Bloomington: Indiana University Press, 1989.
An idiosyncratic essay on the social history of Habsburg Jews from the 1670 expulsion of Viennese Jewry until the end of World War I, focusing on modernization, secularization, embourgeoisement, and especially assimilation. The author examines "the Jewish core of the Habsburg bourgeoisie," seeing it as a window onto the "Imperial bourgeoisie." In particular, he views the Jews' "self-denial" and urge to assimilate as keys to understanding the dilemmas of modernity.

Autumn foraging activities are lots of fun for toddlers and preschoolers.
They provide a great opportunity for them to get outside in the garden or local park, foraging for autumn leaves and twigs that have fallen to the ground.
Autumn foraging activities also help to teach young children about the wonders of the seasons and to incorporate natural foliage into their arts and crafts and play.
Give your toddler or preschooler a bag or container to collect all their treasures as they forage for leaves and twigs.
Here are some autumn foraging activities you can try with your toddler or preschooler using the natural foliage that they've gathered.
1. Try making an autumn collage picture. Perhaps recreating a tree with the twigs and leaves they've gathered, or a flower or an animal. Encourage them to be creative and to use their imagination.
2. Help your toddler or preschooler do some weaving (raranga) using small long sticks and dried leaves.
3. Have a go at crayon rubbings. Place the leaves your toddler or preschooler has gathered under a piece of paper and rub crayon over the top so the indents show through. Use different coloured crayons and different shaped leaves and get creative.
4. Help your toddler or preschooler create autumn bouquets using a range of dried twigs and leaves that you've gathered.
5. Use the autumn foliage your toddler or preschooler has gathered to create patterns, groups and structures.
6. Set up a play space or nature table for your toddler or preschooler with a range of natural, dried autumn foliage for creative play.

Race & Racism at the University of Richmond
Expanding the Ivory Tower
Delving into Greek Life

by Joy Lim
Joy Lim is a Sophomore from Dallas, Texas majoring in Rhetoric/Communication Studies + Sociology and minoring in Anthropology. She is involved in the Westhampton College Government Association (WCGA), Alpha Phi Omega (APO), Delta Gamma (DG), Korean American Student Association (KASA), YouthLife, and is a mentor in the Peer Advisors and Mentors program (PAM). This is her first year working with the Race & Racism Project but she is interested in continuing this work in the future. She hopes to explore social justice issues not just on the University of Richmond campus but around the world as she continues her studies.
Since I already knew I wanted to research the topic of Greek Life, I continued further reading about race and racism within UR fraternities in hopes of finding more connections within Greek Life. In addition to re-exploring the exhibit on Racism in UR fraternities, I recently gained access to the University of Richmond's online yearbooks. Historically white sororities started at the University of Richmond in 1987; knowing this date allows me to start my research in that time period. I plan to look through each yearbook starting from 1987 in order to find out what role race and racism played in the founding of sororities and their histories. I also will read through articles in The Collegian from the 1980s and 1990s in order to find more information on sorority history.
Preparing for Oral Histories

Jisu Song is a sophomore from Richmond, Virginia not decided in major but minoring in Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies (WGSS). She has been involved with the Race & Racism Project since 2019 and is currently serving in the Oral History Team. As a student, she is an executive member in WILL*, member of Sirens, and a peer advisors and mentors. She hopes to work for global audiences.
As we moved into third week, Team Oral History started to prepare for interviews. As I meet more people who supports this project and articles that explain the importance of the Oral Histories and Archive, my passion towards this project increased even more. As I talk about this project to my acquaintances; I had many negative reactions. I heard some say that "racism is a joke" because everyone is treated equally. While I respect those opinions, our society holds racism in many forms. Eduardo Bonilla Silva, a sociology professor at Duke University, explains that new racism has formed after the Jim Crow Era. New racism shows that society itself has a racism by without using the word. It is very subtle, institutional that uses the nonracial mechanism. No one acknowledges that they are racist, but students of color still feel oppressed by many people, new racism is very real yet subtle. Free Egunfemi, the founder of Untold RVA, told us that we need to hold three characteristics: self-determination, resistance, and intersectionality. She explained that self-determination is doing what you are called to do no matter the situation, resistance is to find a new way to improve the world, and intersectionality is to gather diverse perspective into the topic. I truly believe that Race & Racism Project will allow all three characteristics to be existed not only for students but also for alumni.
An Unapologetically Black Space

During my first visit to the University of Richmond campus in 2016, my mom commented "A lot has changed since I visited here." She had visited the university two decades earlier when she was considering colleges. She told me that she hadn't even applied to UR because of how divided it seemed, both by gender and by race. I never asked too much more about the topic, though, and she never brought it up. We were convinced that something had happened between our visits to make the University of Richmond a new, more inclusive place. I often forget that this was my introduction to the University.
The Emphasis on the Coordinate College System

Meghna Melkote is a rising sophomore from Scranton, Pennsylvania majoring in Political Science and Philosophy and minoring in Music. This is her first summer working with the Race & Racism Project as a member of Team Archive. She is involved with the Mock Trial and Debate teams, performs in chamber music ensembles, is a member of the Phi Alpha Delta Pre-Law Fraternity, and is a content curator for public history platform bunkhistory.org.
One of the first things a student at the University of Richmond hears during orientation week is in which college they are placed. Students are selected into either Richmond College (historically a men's college) and Westhampton College (historically a women's college but, in the modern age, moving away from that label and moving towards "the support of underrepresented genders", as it explains on its website. This includes women, transgender individuals, nonbinary, and gender non-conforming individuals). The University of Richmond operates under a coordinate college system, which historically has played a significant role both in academics, residence life, and social life. While both Westhampton College and Richmond College have long, separate (although intertwined) histories, the legacy of the gender-separated campus stays in place even in recent years. It wasn't until 2002, in fact, that students crossed the lake that used to separate men and women and were no longer separated by gender. In Fall 2017, freshman dorms became co-ed. And currently, Richmond College and Westhampton College operate different student governments, honor councils, and student conduct councils with different rules and procedures. Additionally, a large number of orientation events are still separated by college, with Richmond College and Westhampton College attending lectures at different times, and participating in college-specific activities. As a first-year student especially during the first week of college, I felt the legacy and the weight of the coordinate college system significantly impacted my college experience (I'm hard-pressed to discern whether for better or worse, but the gender-segregated orientation definitely impacted how I interact with first-year men).
What's in a Namesake: Admittance to and Omission from Public Memory

Cole Richard is a junior from Orlando, Florida double majoring in English and Italian Studies and minoring in Linguistics. This is his first summer working on the Race & Racism project. He is also a resident assistant, DJ at the campus radio station, and student worker at the music library.
Sometimes I reflect on how little I knew about the University of Richmond the day I decided it would be my first choice school. Towards the end of the summer before my senior year of high school I went on a college visit road trip up the East Coast with my dad. The schools selected were a combination of ones that I was already interested in (Bard, Pratt) and ones my dad thought would be a good match for me (Duke, Washington & Lee). The night before we left from our home in Florida, my dad added one more the itinerary: Richmond. Flash forward two days, and my dad and I were being taken on an admissions tour of this school I had never heard of, yet instantly wanted to attend. Our tour inundated us with those facts familiar to any prospective student: that Ryland Hall is the oldest building on campus, named after Richmond College's first president; that E. Claiborne Robins' 1969 donation to the University saved the school from bankruptcy (hence the statue and various buildings bearing his name). I took this all as it was presented to me and continued on, paying greater attention to the way the sun broke through the tree canopy between the business and law schools, and the circuitous motion of Westhampton Lake's ducks and geese. For that year between my first visit to campus and freshman orientation, these were the images that defined the University of Richmond in my mind.
There Is Nothing New Under the Sun
Irina Rogova Uncategorized June 13, 2019 June 3, 2019 A&S Summer Fellows 2019, Shira Greer
by Shira Greer
Shira Greer is a rising sophomore from Fairfax, Virginia majoring in Political Science and minoring in Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies. This is her first summer working with the Race & Racism Project. On campus she is also a Richmond Scholar, an Oliver Hill Scholar, a Peer Advisor and Mentor, and a member of the Executive Council for a Multicultural Space at the University.
Before coming to the University of Richmond, I knew virtually nothing about its history. When applying to different schools, their histories were the furthest thing from my mind: I was only concerned with current academic and extracurricular offerings and of course, financing my education. Upon my arrival to campus, I was still clueless about UR's history, but I soon came to learn more about it. I began hearing about the Race & Racism Project during my first semester and took a cursory look through the website and the student exhibits presented there.
However, it was not until I joined the project that I began to take a deeper look into the project, and therefore the school's history. In examining the project website, I started with the subject lists. The "Black Power" subject heading was the first to catch my eye, as after attending UR for a year I couldn't imagine the Black Power movement having much effect on UR's campus. While my suspicion proved correct, I was surprised to find that Dick Gregory gave a lecture on campus in 1970, then again in 1973, despite alumni backlash after his first appearance. Learning about his unexpected appearances on campus reminded me how much I still don't know about this university, yet a quote from Gregory's lecture reminded me how little our social circumstances have changed. During his lecture, he told the students in attendance "You are going to be the group that is going to solve this country's problems, or this country is going to fall," a sentiment that is still repeated to my generation today. This similarity reminded me of the adage "there is nothing new under the sun," which I found rang true throughout my dive into the Race & Racism website.
Greek Life in Regards to Race and Racism
Irina Rogova Uncategorized June 12, 2019 May 31, 2019 A&S Summer Fellows 2019, Joy Lim
Reading over the exhibit of Racism in UR Fraternities was incredibly intriguing to me, as someone who identifies as Korean American, lower class, and female. Before applying to the University of Richmond, I knew very little about campus culture and next to nothing about the social climate surrounding student life. Before setting foot on campus all I knew was that the 2019 edition of the Princeton Review ranked the University of Richmond as the 9th most segregated campus in the nation. I didn't think much about this issue as I wasn't quite sure what a "segregated" community would feel like. Growing up in Dallas, Texas, I was surrounded by a diverse community, and I had the capacity to experience my Korean culture through multiple different outlets. Moving to campus was a culture shock due to its lack of culturally expressive opportunities, a dominating white demographic, and an exclusive social atmosphere. However, I found that joining student government (Westhampton College Government Association, known as WCGA) as a first-year student was remarkably rewarding as I had the opportunity to listen to student concerns and witness changes happening on campus first hand.
Where Is There Space for Me?

Sabrina Garcia is a junior from, Waldwick, New Jersey double majoring in Leadership Studies and English and minoring in Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies (WGSS). This is her first year working on the Race & Racism Project, on Team Archive. Sabrina is in the WILL* Program, works as a writing consultant, and is training to be a PSMA. She hopes to dedicate her career to social justice and believes in the mission of Race & Racism wholeheartedly.
In making a decision on which university to attend, whether or not that school had inclusive policies or any initiatives to improve inclusion on campus for minority students was not something that I considered. I knew very little about the University of Richmond as an institution and simply chose this school because of its ranking and the amount of aid that was offered. Through my classes—I'm an English and Leadership double major and a Women, Gender, & Sexuality Studies minor–I quickly became exposed to the history of racial inequalities that still effects the city of Richmond and to how the University of Richmond continues to perpetuate white supremacy ideology by not confronting its past.
Still Shares the Same Feelings as Students of Color who Attended in 1981
Irina Rogova Uncategorized June 6, 2019 June 5, 2019 A&S Summer Fellows 2019, Jisu Song
After I moved to the United States, I always looked for the space that I could express my pure self to the community. Moving to the United States, the very first feeling that I felt was about the necessity to fit into the predominantly white culture. I always lived in a predominantly white environment. I was privileged enough to live in a safe and studious environment, but I always found myself not fitting into the culture. I found myself not understanding people's context, especially in the entertainment culture. For example, because I spend my childhood in Japan, I grew up watching Japanese animations, such as Ghibli, while many of my friends grew up with Disney Chanel, Nickelodeon, and more American TV shows. I found myself lost in the conversations and started to avoid conversations. Resulting from these practices led me to have two different personas. I always thought that what I do at home and at school should be different because I present myself differently. I found myself losing my Asian identification in the public.

In The Island of 5th May Minister Dr. Rajitha Senaratne has confessed that "some of those within the government have forgotten that it was the Tamil and Muslim minorities who cast a block vote to elect the yahapalana government. The Eastern Province voted for the common candidate and so did the North". What he did not elaborate is the electoral promises made by the common candidate to the minority communities in the North and East.
When Sri Lanka co-sponsored the Geneva Resolution against Sri Lanka, the people realized to their horror the kind of promises the yahapalana leaders had given in return for votes. Reading through the well-researched article in the Midweek Review of The Island of 9th May, by Shamindra Ferdinando, this government could go down in history as the most treacherous government of traitors! The people in Sri Lanka and the people of other democratic countries will pay tribute to Lord Naseby of the UK for the courageous efforts he made to obtain 'suppressed information that could have cleared Sri Lanka'.
The people, however, at the first available opportunity, painted the country RED with the PHOTTUWA at the LG elections, scaring the government to affect several shuffles of ministers, which was like a game of musical chairs and it is still continuing!
All actions and plans of this government appear to be motivated by anger and hatred. But "Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored, than anything on which it is poured" – Mark Twain.

I started racing when I was six years old with my father at S.R.S. (Scottsdale RC Speedway). We raced all kinds of cars such as dirt oval sprint car, 1/10-scale pan on-road, and of course, 1/10-scale off-road. My parents basically spent every dime they made on my racing. They obviously wanted me to do well and to win, but they knew I enjoyed it—as did they—and it kept me out of trouble.
The first time I had success out of Arizona was at the 1997 Reedy buggy race of champions at MnM raceway. I was running the open class and running Losi cars at the time, but I wasn't sponsored by them. I ended up TQ'ing the 2WD Open class and qualifying 2nd in the 4WD class and ended up finishing 4th in both classes after the mains. There was some rough driving going on. People didn't like getting beat by a 10-year old kid. After the mains Richard Trujillo from Losi and Tyree Phillips from Novak approached me and offered me sponsorships with Losi and Novak. So, I continued to run for Losi for another year, but I never received a contract and there was no communication. We had also made friends with Mike Reedy of Team Associated. He was always a very nice guy. He always had advice for me and kind words even though I ran Losi cars. He even encouraged me to take the Losi sponsorship because I was running their cars at the time and was going fast with them, but he also warned us that many people had issues with Losi if you weren't Brian Kinwald or Matt Francis. Mike told us to run for Losi for a year and if it wasn't working out to then give him a call. So, that's what we did and in a week I had everything at my front door to make the switch. I have run for Team Associated ever since.
My first big win was at the 2003 Cactus Classic at my home track S.R.S. It was the debut weekend of the the new RC10 B4. I got the car on Tuesday before the race and won the club race that night racing Brian Kinwald. That was a confidence booster, but then the race started and I ended up TQ'ing the mod buggy class with Brian Kinwald and Matt Francis right behind me in the mains. In the first main, I had some issues, but the next two I won. Nobody could believe it—including myself. Now I have 7 national titles, many Cactus Classic wins in all the classes: 4WD, 2WD and truck mod. I also many wins at the Hot Rod Hobbies Shootout and many worlds A-main appearances with four podium finishes. I'm still working on winning a world championship, but it will happen.
I have always wanted to see you race in person, and where I live I'm one of the few that drive the RC8T and RC8.
Have met Ryan a couple of times. Very cool guy, treats people well, works hard, and it shows in his racing. He's a threat at every race and he seems to get better every year. Ryan, thanks for the blog, hope it continues.
Hey Ryan! It's Izzy, Israel Gonzalez. I lost your number and finally my wife found your blog online so I could contact you. Ive been wanting to know how your life is going! Hopefully you get this message and give me a call or email. 6024721804 or i.gonzalez1112@yahoo.com Michelle Daniels wanted me to give you her number too it's 4803909013. Hope this works!

HOW TECHNOLOGY CAN ENHANCE WELLBEING
Author: Richard Snarey
Businesses understand the advantages of cutting-edge technology when it comes to improving work processes and increasing productivity, but many are less acquainted with how it can help to improve employee wellbeing.
Research by Mental Health Today, which analysed 2,099 UK adults, found that two-thirds of workers (65 per cent) considered their mental health to be critical, while less than half (44 per cent) stated that their physical health was equally important.
What We Mean By Health And Wellbeing Technology
Technology that supports employee health and wellbeing generally falls into one of three categories:
Preventive: Platforms, trackers and workforce monitoring.
Supportive: Coaching and consultation.
Rehabilitative: Absence management and counselling.
Here, we look at some of the ways that both employee mental and physical health can be enriched through technology.
Technology in the workplace is about so much more than managing business tasks. Businesses can strengthen their employee wellbeing programme through the use of fitness, lifestyle and mental health apps. In fact, Headspace, a popular meditation app, has had more than 40 million downloads and over 250 companies offer their employees a Headspace subscription. At the other end of the spectrum, there are simple apps aimed to improve physical health such as Waterlogged which reminds people to drink water to avoid dehydration and its effects, including a lack of concentration which is detrimental to workplace productivity.
Often used in conjunction with apps, wearable technology, such as Fitbits and Apple Watches, already play a significant role in our everyday lives. When it comes to businesses, providing staff with wearable technology is still a relatively new concept. In fact, according to a 2017 Corporate Decision Markers survey, only 9 per cent of the organisations surveyed offered wearable technology for their staff.
Such tech can help to motivate employees to take part in both personal and group challenges. For example, there are physical productivity settings where your device can alert you when you've been sat still for too long, encouraging you to get up and walk. This isn't just great for an employee's physical wellbeing but encourages them to leave their desk every so often to engage with other employees, therefore bolstering team relationships. Not only this but wearable devices can help the user to recognise signs of stress, i.e. high heart rate.
Virtual GP and Support Services
Virtual GP and counselling services are also on the rise when it comes to workplace wellbeing. The Corporate Decision Makers survey also found that 23 per cent of employers offer access to GP services as a health and wellbeing benefit.
Such services offer employees 24/7 consultations with GPs and counsellors, either over the phone or via a webcam, so that they can connect with a professional at their convenience. Through removing the delay associated with traditional in-person appointments, these services can help to improve productivity and reduce absenteeism.

Being on Council is about leadership.
• Development in Port Hardy cannot happen in isolation from what is happening in rest of the North Island. Open and respectful communication must take place with First Nations' communities and other North Island communities.
• We need to protect and build on the positive aspects of our community.
• Decisions of Council must be inclusive and address all aspects of our town., including economic, social, cultural and recreational .
• Local government has the greatest impact on our day-to-day lives, yet voter turn out has been traditionally quite low for municipal elections. It has been said that people do not feel represented. Council must work openly and inclusively and give people a reason to believe they are represented.
• Budgets: Council must always be mindful they are dealing with taxpayer's money. The budget is about priorities. Priorities must be established before dollars are committed.
I have been, and will always be a passionate advocate and defender of Port Hardy.
If elected these are the goals and principles I will use to guide my decisions.
• We arrived in Port Hardy in the spring of 1989. 25 years and 3 boys later we call Port Hardy home.


B&H Photo has the Synology DiskStation DS1019+ for $619.99. Normally $649.99. Free ship but tax in NY, NJ at the very least.
You gave thanks to seang86s for this post.
seang86s posted this deal. Say thanks!
According to an email from B&H, as of 4/1, they will be charging tax on sales to CA in the very least. This is an email I received on 3/13 from them.
As you may know, based on a June 2018 U.S. Supreme Court ruling, California is now requiring out of state sellers to collect sales tax. As a result, B&H will begin to collect sales tax on shipments to California on April 1st. All reputable retailers are complying with the new laws and collecting sales tax..."
Doesn't anyone have any thoughts on this model versus the DS1618+?
I was waiting for this model to come out, but when it did a bunch of people on reddit were saying last year's 6-bay model was likely a better option due to the additional bay, plus an arguably better CPU. However, the DS1618+ needs a PCIE card to support NVME drives for caching, so that adds to the cost.
The 1618 is also more money.
They are serving slightly different purposes.
At that price I'd have a hard time not biting.
You're not actually installing xpenology. You're install Synology. Xpenology is just a bootloader which allows REAL full Synology OS on standard PC hardware.
DS1019+ would be much better if Plex is being used for transcoding. The DS1019+ (and DS918+) use a Celeron J3455 with better video encoding & decoding. The DS1618+ uses an Atom C3538.
Moreover, what kind of differences are we looking at in terms of power consumption? I'm all for building my own solutions, but after years of screwing around with hardware compatibility issues, component failure (which can result in borderline catastrophic data loss in the case of NAS units), etc., I'm not completely sold on the idea that the DIY approach is significantly better in the long run whether we're talking about upfront cost, cost over time (power), or the headaches that may result.
However, given that I'm very poor, I'm very open to being convinced otherwise.
This includes no storage?? The profit margins must be incredible for these products based on hardware specs.

Handing Over the Reins for Monroe's Interim Executive Director and President
As many of you are aware, over the past six months Stephen Ng Qui Sang has been leading the Monroe Institute as the interim Executive Director and President. When Stephen was appointed in March of this year, it was for a six-month term which is now coming to an end. Under Stephen's leadership, Monroe was able to successfully reopen our Virginia campus for residential retreats and launch our new meditation app, "Expand". We cannot thank Stephen enough for all of his hard work and dedication in stewarding Monroe through this busy time of renewal and growth.
As Stephen's term comes to an end, Allyn Evans, our current Chief Program Officer, will be taking over as interim Executive Director and President of Monroe. Allyn has been a beloved Monroe trainer for more than a decade. She has been instrumental in helping launch Monroe's virtual programming, and she also played a key role in helping develop content for Expand. Additionally, she has been a big part of the team, working alongside Stephen, that facilitated the residential campus reopening. Allyn earned her BA in Psychology from the University of Mississippi and an MBA from Texas Tech University. She served as the first Local Chapter Network Chair and led Monroe's outreach efforts in the past. She trains Energy Medicine, not only at the Monroe Institute, but at locations around the world hosted by Monroe's international trainers. We will be in good hands with Allyn.
The Board's search for Monroe's next permanent Executive Director and President is progressing and plans are to have that process completed within the next few months. In the meantime, with Stephen's leadership thus far and the leadership Allyn will provide, and the hard work of Monroe's staff and trainers, we are on a great path and can look forward to the future with confidence.
Please join us in thanking Stephen and congratulating Allyn.

No Mossies in March
Clongowes Stories
A short Jesuit Lenten campaign to raise money for the purchase of Long-Lasting Insecticide Mosquito Nets to battle malaria gets underway next week, March 25th – 29th. The 'No Mossies in March' campaign, hosted by the Irish Jesuits' Education for Justice office, has been initiated by a recent contingent of teachers and librarians, who travelled to Northern Uganda where they visited schools and a refugee camp. Our own Mr Tony Egan and Ms Jane O'Loughlin made similar trips in 2014 and 2015 respectively, visiting Ocer Campion Jesuit College.
Malaria has been described by Ugandan officials as a 'disease of poverty and a cause of poverty'. If one has money for transport, medicine and mosquito nets (see below) the disease can be treated, but for the majority of Ugandans treatment and prevention is an expense that drains their resources for food, school fees and books. Recurring strikes of malaria in a family push them further into hardship and poverty. Many cannot afford to seek treatment or an attempt at prevention. Malaria is the leading cause of death in Uganda with over one quarter of all deaths resulting from the disease.
At the Annual Conference of Boards of Management of Jesuit Schools in Ireland held in Clongowes on 1st February a proposal was made that all the Jesuit Schools in Ireland would participate in the 'No Mossies for March' campaign. Mr Krizan Vekic (Jesuit Justice Education Co-Ordinator) introduced the initiative to Clongowes last Thursday during Morning Prayer.
Clongowes will run an inter-house competition to encourage each house to gather as many €5 as possible. Houses can look to family members and friends to support them alongside their own efforts. We also anticipate that staff will participate by contributing to a number of collection boxes left at Reception, in the Finance Department and the James Joyce Library. A number of teachers and staff have alligned themselves to the Houses to add an extra sense of whole school involvement and add interest to the competition. Although there will be no prize as such there will be the satisfaction in having raised the most for 'No Mossies in March'.
For those who would like to support this cause but no longer have a direct link to the school, it is possible to make donations on-line here.

Perhaps one of the best contemporary live performers, he's a charismatic devil, a blue collar profit and a whirling dervish of rock. In this video clip just released to his fan this week, Slim (who has made our best of live list each year for five years running) takes on a lesser-known but certainly brilliant Beatles song. It's an intimate and telling performance and certainly one of the best we've found in 2012. Enjoy.

Financial Advisor Melvin E. Case Suspended From the Securities Industry for Six Months
Financial advisor Melvin Elwood Case (CRD# 2393464) has been suspended from the securities industry. According to publicly available information through FINRA, on January 19, 2018, Mr. Case, without admitting or denying FINRA Enforcement's findings, consented to being barred from the securities industry in all capacities for a period of six months (the suspension is set to terminate on August 4, 2018).
Specifically, FINRA enforcement entered into a settlement via Acceptance, Waiver and Consent ("AWC") with the Respondent, pursuant to which Mr. Case consented to a finding that he "willfully omitted to state a material fact on a Form U4, and that under Section 3(a)(39)(F) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934… this omission makes him subject to a statutory disqualification with respect to association with a [FINRA] member." As disclosed by FINRA, Mr. Case pled guilty to a felony charge of exploitation of an aged adult on or about August 2016. It appears that final adjudication of guilt was withheld, and Mr. Case was placed on probation for a period of 24 months.
Based on his purported failure to report his criminal infraction to his employer, LPL Financial LLC ("LPL") (CRD# 6413), Mr. Case was terminated by LPL on or about May 2, 2017. As disclosed through FINRA, Mr. Case's termination by LPL concerned allegations of "criminal charges involving exploitation of an aged adult after converting the victim's money for his own benefit."

American Finance Trust Shares Subject of Competing Tender Offers
Investors in American Finance Trust ("AFIN"), formerly known as American Realty Capital Trust V, Inc., may have arbitration claims to be pursued before the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"), if their AFIN position was recommended by an investment advisor who lacked a reasonable basis for the recommendation, or if the nature of the investment was misrepresented by the stockbroker or financial advisor. According to its website, AFIN is structured to protect shareholder capital and produce stable cash distributions through the acquisition and management of a diversified portfolio of commercial properties leased to investment grade tenants.
AFIN is a publicly registered non-traded real estate investment trust ("REIT") that is based in New York, NY. Incorporated in early 2013 as a Maryland REIT, AFIN is registered with the SEC, and therefore, the non-traded REIT was permitted to sell securities to the investing public at large, including numerous unsophisticated retail investors who bought shares through the initial public offering ("IPO") upon the recommendation of a broker or money manager.
According to publicly available information through the SEC, MacKenzie Capital Management LP ("Mackenzie") recently made an unsolicited tender offer to purchase up to 1 million shares of AFIN common stock at $13.66 per share. This tender offer is set to expire on March 22, 2018, unless extended.

FINRA Bars Former Wells Fargo Advisor for Allegedly Churning Customer Accounts
On February 9, 2017, FINRA Enforcement signed off on a Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent ("AWC") between FINRA and former financial advisor Matthew C. Maczko ("Maczko" or "Respondent") (CRD# 1888519). Without admitting or denying FINRA's findings, Mr. Maczko voluntarily consented to an industry bar from associating with any FINRA member firm in any capacity.

During the course of his career, he worked at UBS for nearly twenty years, and thereafter, from 2008-2016, worked as a registered representative for Wells Fargo Advisors, LLC ("Wells Fargo") (CRD# 19616).
According to the AWC, "[M]aczko had been terminated on September 2, 2016" by Wells Fargo in connection with the brokerage firm's "[i]nternal review for adherence to industry standards of conduct based on concerns about the level of trading in a customer account."

Investors in Inland Land Appreciation Fund II May Have Arbitration Claims
Investors in Inland Land Appreciation Fund II, L.P. ("Inland II" or the "Limited Partnership) may be able to recover losses on their investment through initiating an arbitration proceeding with FINRA Dispute Resolution. Inland II is based in Oak Brook, IL and is structured as a Delaware Limited Partnership. The Limited Partnership was formed in June 1989, to invest in undeveloped land on an all-cash basis and realize the upside appreciation upon resale. In October 1989, the Partnership commenced an offering of limited partnership units at $1,000 per unit. In connection with this initial offering, Inland II received $50,476,170 in gross offering proceeds, and accepted all unit holders into the partnership. The General Partner is Inland Real Estate Investment Corporation.
Pursuant to their business model, Inland II purchased, on an all-cash basis, 27 parcels of undeveloped land and two buildings. All of these investments were made in the Chicago, IL metropolitan area. Initially, the partnership anticipated holding the properties for a period of 2 -7 years from the time of land portfolio acquisitions. However, due to several factors, including lengthy rezoning and entitlement processes, the Limited Partnership's holding period greatly exceeded their initial estimates.
According to publicly available documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), as of December 31, 2016, the Limited Partnership had a remaining parcel of land it had yet to sell.

MML Financial Advisor Brian Travers Barred by FINRA
On December 13, 2017, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") disclosed that registered representative Brian Michael Travers has been barred from the securities industry. Specifically, pursuant to a Letter of Acceptance, Waiver, and Consent ("AWC"), pursuant to which Brian Travers neither admitted or denied FINRA's findings, Mr. Travers acknowledged that on November 1, 2017, he received a written request from FINRA seeking his on-the-record testimony.
FINRA's request concerned: "[a]n investigation into, among other things, potential undisclosed outside business activities and private securities transactions…" As set forth in the AWC, "By refusing to appear for on-the-record testimony as requested pursuant to FINRA Rule 8210, Travers violates FINRA Rules 8210 and 2010."
Publicly available information through FINRA indicates that Brian Travers (CRD# 4767891) first entered the securities industry in 2004, and was most recently a registered representative of MML Investors Services, LLC ("MML") (CRD# 10409) until his former employer terminated his registration in April 2017. Previous to working for MML (2013 – 2017), Mr. Travers was a financial advisor affiliated with Lincoln Financial Advisors Corporation ("Lincoln Financial") (CRD# 3978). According to FINRA BrokerCheck, Mr. Travers was discharged from his employment with MML on April 4, 2017, in connection with an "[u]ndisclosed outside activity."

SEC Censures Ameriprise in Connection With Sales of F-Squared AlphaSector Strategies
On December 8, 2017, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued a Cease-and-Desist Order ("Order") against Ameriprise Financial Services, Inc. ("Ameriprise") in connection with allegations that Ameriprise and its employees or agents purportedly misrepresented the performance of certain ETF strategies. Specifically, the SEC's investigation focused on sales of AlphaSector strategies by ETF manager F-Squared Investments, Inc. ("F-Squared"). The F-Squared AlphaSector strategies, which were based upon an algorithm, were sector rotation strategies designed to issue a "signal" as to whether to buy or sell certain ETFs, that together, comprised the industries in the S&P 500 Index.
Pursuant to the Order, the SEC has alleged that F-Squared materially miscalculated the historical performance of its AlphaSector strategies (from April 2001 to September 2008) by incorrectly implementing signals in advance of when such signals could have occurred. In addition, the SEC alleged that F-Squared relied upon hypothetical and back-tested historical performance that was purportedly inflated substantially over what actual performance would have been had F-Squared applied the signals accurately.
In December 2014, F-Squared agreed to pay a $35 million fine to the SEC, and furthermore, admitting to wrongdoing regarding falsifying performance numbers in its advertising and marketing materials. See In the Matter of F-Squared Investments, Inc., Admin. Proceeding No. 3-16325 (Dec. 22, 2014). By July 2015, F-Squared filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.

Former Wells Fargo Brokers Barred for Recommending Risky Over-Concentration in Oil & Gas Investments
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") has barred former Wells Fargo (CRD# 126292) financial advisors Charles Henry Frieda (CRD# 5502319) and Charles B. Lynch, Jr. (CRD# 3004877) for allegedly engaging in a pattern and practice of recommending an unsuitable over-concentration in energy-sector securities to numerous customers. On April 12, 2016, Mr. Lynch was discharged by Wells Fargo for "loss of management confidence," as reported on Wells' Form U-5 filing with regulators. His partner, Mr. Frieda, remained at Wells until September 2017.
Pursuant to FINRA Rule 9216, on November 27, 2017, both Messrs. Lynch and Frieda submitted a Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent ("AWC") for the purposes of proposing a settlement to certain alleged industry rule violations. Specifically, it was alleged by FINRA Enforcement in the AWC that "From November 2012 to October 2015" both former Wells Fargo advisors "[r]ecommended an investment strategy that was unsuitable for certain retail customers" and purportedly involved the brokers recommending "[a]n over-concentration in energy-sector securities, some of which were speculative, resulting in significant customer losses."
As part of the AWC, FINRA Enforcement alleged that Messrs. Lynch and Frieda violated FINRA Rule 2111. In relevant part, Rule 2111 – the so-called suitability rule – mandates that a broker "must have a reasonable basis to believe that a recommended… investment strategy involving a security or securities is suitable for the customer, based on the information obtained through reasonable due diligence…."

John P. Correnti of AXA Advisors Barred By FINRA
As recently reported, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") barred broker John Phillip Correnti (CRD# 5319471) in light of his failure to provide testimony and documents in connection with an investigation into potential violations of applicable securities industry rules. Publicly available information through FINRA indicates that, in a career spanning 2007 – 2016, Mr. Correnti was previously affiliated with four different brokerage firms. Most recently, Mr. Correnti was associated with AXA Advisors, LLC ("AXA") (CRD# 6627) (2015-2016).
FINRA records also indicate that Mr. Correnti was the subject of a customer dispute in 2011, which concerned allegations of mismanagement, misrepresentations, breach of fiduciary duty, as well as claims grounded in negligence / negligent misrepresentation. Furthermore, FINRA records indicate that Mr. Correnti was discharged from his employment with AXA in July 2016, following allegations concerning "[h]is apparent involvement in the possible manipulation of a low-price security."
In August 2017, Mr. Correnti, who worked as a registered representative for AXA in Cleveland, Ohio, was barred from the securities industry by FINRA. Specifically, FINRA sanctioned Mr. Correnti with an industry bar following his failure to completely respond to FINRA's request for documents, as well as his incomplete testimony. In addition, FINRA records suggest that the investigation was aimed, at least in part, on whether Mr. Correnti "[e]ngaged in undisclosed business activities…."

Two JP Morgan Brokers Barred by FINRA for Theft of $300,000 from Elderly Client
Two former JP Morgan Chase Securities Inc.-registered brokers, Fernando L. Arevalo and Jimmy E. Caballero are the subjecct of regulatory charges alleging theft. Reportedly, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) permanently barred both Caballero and Arevalo from the securities industry.
FINRA's investigation of the two brokers found that they allegedly collaborated to steal approximately $300,000 from one of their clients, a widow who had diminished mental capacity. Reportedly, the client held accounts at both JP Morgan and a related bank affiliate. She sold two annuities between April and July 2013 and deposited the proceeds — approximately $300,000 — into a bank account that had been opened for her by Arevalo.
Subsequently, the funds were allegedly withdrawn using two cashier's checks. On the same day, the money was allegedly deposited by Caballero into a joint account he opened at a different bank in his name and the client's name. When the deposits were questioned by the bank and further confirmation was required, Arevalo allegedly drove the client to the bank so she could confirm the source of the funds.

MX Sports Pro Racing Recognizes Most Significant Contributions to 2020 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship
Oct 25, 2020 | US National Motocross, US Racing
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (October 22, 2020) – In the midst of a year filled with unpredictable challenges that yielded a cloud of uncertainty over the entirety of the 2020 season, the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship, sanctioned by AMA Pro Racing, completed a successful and captivating campaign. The highly competitive nature of this past season personified the notion that great things can happen when the motocross industry rallies together, and in celebration of the many individuals and organizations that helped make the 2020 season a reality MX Sports Pro Racing recognized several of the most significant contributions with a season-ending awards presentation after the Fox Raceway National.

Arguably the most important awards were handed out to the pair of newly crowned AMA National Champions, both of whom captured their first respective class titles. In the 450 Class, Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing's Zach Osborne hoisted the Edison Dye Cup on the heels of four wins and six podium finishes. The Virginia native became the 25th different rider to earn a 450 Class title, and the 12th rider to earn championships across both of Pro Motocross' competitive divisions. In addition to giving Husqvarna its first premier class title in the series, Osborne also cemented his own unique place in the record books as the oldest champion in the history of the sport at 31 years of age.
By virtue of Osborne's exceptional season veteran technician Dave Feeney earned the "450 Class Champion Mechanic Wrench" while newly appointed team manager "Scuba" Steve Westfall commemorated his debut at the helm of the program with "Team Manager of the Year" accolades. The team's semi driver, industry veteran Paul Delaurier, added to Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing's award haul as "Transport Driver of the Year."
Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing, led by Team Manager "Scuba" Steve Westfall
(bottom right center), was the championship-winning team in the 450 Class.
In the 250 Class, Monster Energy/Star/Yamaha Racing's Dylan Ferrandis erased decades of heartbreak for French riders by becoming the first racer from the nation to raise the Gary Jones Cup. Ferrandis' journey to become a champion on U.S. soil had been steadily building since he made the move to compete in American motocross for the 2017 season. His championship-winning run was a result of unparalleled consistency in which he captured three wins and eight podium finishes in nine rounds. Ferrandis is the 32nd different rider to win the 250 Class title and ended his stay in the division by providing Star Racing with its fifth championship in seven seasons.
Ferrandis' title meant his mechanic, Alex Campbell, was the recipient of the "250 Class Champion Mechanic Wrench." Additionally, after yet another impressive season by the Bobby Regan owned team, Monster Energy/Star/Yamaha Racing was also named "Team of the Year." With Ferrandis leading the way, a trio of Star riders earned a top-five finish in the final 250 Class standings as Shane McElrath secured a pair of podium finishes en route to third in points and Justin Cooper grabbed a win and two podiums to finish fifth. The team also welcomed a pair of promising young talents to the professional ranks with Jarrett Frye and Nate Thrasher.
In winning the 250 Class title with Ferrandis the Monster Energy/Star/Yamaha Racing effort was named
"Team of the Year" with three riders inside the top 10 of the final standings.
The first honoree of the newly named "Marty Smith Rookie of the Year" was GEICO Honda's Jett Lawrence. On a bittersweet afternoon for the influential race team at the Fox Raceway National, the Australian capped off a stellar first full season of Pro Motocross competition by breaking through with the first win of what looks to be a promising career, which also helped him earn fourth in the final standings.

The 17-year-old is the first Australian to earn the award and his victory, combined with the first career win for Team Honda HRC's Chase Sexton in the 450 Class that same day, helped vault American Honda Motor Company to "Manufacturer of the Year" accolades. The "Red Riders" amassed more points across both the 450 Class and 250 Class than any other OEM, wrapping up a banner afternoon and memorable season for the iconic Japanese brand.
After sweeping both class victories at the final round American Honda Motor Company
prevailed to earn "Manufacturer of the Year" accolades.
In addition to celebrating the season's most notable contributors, MX Sports Pro Racing also paid tribute to members of the motocross family that passed away this year. Marty Smith, the sport's first true superstar, and his wife, Nancy, tragically lost their lives in April, which sent shockwaves through the racing community. As a tribute to Smith, and a testament to his impact on American motocross, the aforementioned yearly rookie award was renamed in his honor. The community was also hit hard with the passing of longtime flagger and Dirt Diggers North Motorcycle Club member Mike Mars, who succumbed to COVID-19 just prior to the start of the 2020 season in August.
MX Sports Pro Racing also recognized the collection of race teams, manufacturers, and the hundreds of participants who committed to embark on the 2020 season, no matter what obstacles arose. Additionally, the championship would not have been possible without the unwavering support from the group of series partners and sponsors that made hosting a nine-round series feasible, notably the broadcast partners at NBC Sports Group and championship title sponsor Lucas Oil. Crucial support also came from Red Bull, WPS, FLY Racing, GEICO Motorcycle, MotoSport.com, FMF Racing, Thor, Parts Unlimited, KTM, Deltran Battery Tender, MX vs ATV All Out, 100%, Husqvarna, Dunlop, Guaranteed Rate, KMC Wheels, VP Racing Fuels, Alpinestars, GoPro, Vertex Pistons, Acerbis, and Road 2 Recovery.

Beautiful vintage 1930s kimono robe in taupe and blue/purple striped silk. Summer weight and not lined. It has a fairly long sleeve drop length and comes with an obi sash that I have made from vintage kimono silk remnants. It is in excellent condition.


Fred Claus (Vince Vaughn) has lived almost his entire life in his little brother's very large shadow. Fred tried, but he could never live up to the example set by the younger Nicholas (Paul Giamatti), who was just a perfect... well... Saint. True to form, Nicholas grew up to be the model of giving, while Fred became the polar opposite: a repo man who then steals what he repossesses. Now Fred's dirty dealings have landed him in jail. Over Mrs. Claus's objections, Nicholas agrees to bail his big brother out on one condition: that he come to the North Pole and work off his debt making toys. The trouble is that Fred isn't exactly elf material and, with Christmas fast approaching, this one bad seed could jeopardize the jolliest holiday of the year. Has Fred finally pushed his little brother to the brink? This time, what Fred may have stolen is Christmas itself, and it is going to take more than Rudolph to set things right.

Northwell Health Ice Center is a multipurpose ice hockey facility in East Meadow, New York, containing two regulation-sized NHL rinks and one outdoor recreational rink. It is owned and operated by the New York Islanders, an NHL team, and is used primarily by the local community for a variety of reasons, including 'learning to skate', house leagues and summer camps.

After founding both a men's and women's ice hockey team, Long Island University reached an agreement with the New York Islanders to use both the Northwell Health Ice Center and Islanders Iceworks as their home rinks.

Veterans Day is this weekend on Sunday, November 11. Our national holiday honors all those who have served in the United States Armed Forces and thanks them for their service and sacrifice. Are you wondering what the Crystal Coast has planned for this holiday weekend? We can help you with that.
Locally, Morehead City holds its annual Veterans Day parade on Saturday, November 10 at 11a.m. It's a big event that draws crowds to line Arendell Street in participation and support of our veterans. We hope to see you there!
On Sunday, November 11, the North Carolina Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores offers free admission to all (no past or present military affiliation required) in honor of Veterans Day. The aquarium is open from 9a.m. to 5p.m. and as always has a host of fun and free activities which include two touch pools, dive presentations, animal programs, and so much more.
Take advantage of the free admission, but also take advantage of the two opportunities available to visitors to support and give back to the community. Collections for Martha's Mission Cupboard in Morehead City are being taken this day, so bring non-perishable food donations with you when you come. Staples such as cereal, peanut butter, powdered milk, canned fruit and vegetables, dried beans, rice, and crackers are in demand. This local food pantry helps families on the Crystal Coast during difficult times throughout the year. With the holiday season coming up, they are especially in need of donations during this time. Also, please be sure the items have not passed their expiration date. Collection boxes are available or you can just hand your donations to an aquarium staff member between 9a.m-5p.m.
The American Red Cross is on hand in Soundside Hall from 10a.m.-4p.m. so roll up your sleeve and give if you can. This precious commodity is in need of replenishing and any donations are greatly appreciated.
Neither of the donations are required for the free admission to the aquarium, but we do hope you'll give if you're able. Thank you in advance for your support!
If you're visiting the coast this weekend, don't forget that there are some nice seasonal discounts on beach vacation rentals. Be here for the holiday weekend, and extend your stay for the week!
We thank all those who give on a daily basis and serve our country, past and present. Remember to take a moment and thank a veteran; not only on Veterans Day, but on any day that you have the opportunity.


MOST inland districts of NSW will experience predominantly dry and unseasonably warm weather this Easter, but what about the next few weeks?
A slow-moving high pressure system over the Tasman Sea will prevent any rain-bearing system from penetrating NSW between Friday and Sunday.
A weakening trough of low pressure should cause some showers in the state's south and west on Monday, although most areas won't get substantial rain from this system.
The high in the Tasman will also allow warm air from central Australia to drift over NSW, causing maximum temperatures to climb a few degrees above average for this time of year.
This weather continues a warm and dry trend that has gripped NSW for more than a year. NSW as a whole has only registered above-average rain during two out of the past 15 months.
The statewide mean temperature (combined minimums and maximums) has been warmer than the long-term average for every month since November 2016.
During this 29-month warm spell, 21 months have exceeded the long-term average by more than one degree.
This prolonged period of warm and dry weather could continue into winter.
The latest seasonal outlook issued by the Bureau of Meteorology indicates below average rainfall, and above average temperatures, are favoured for large areas of eastern Australia during the next three months.
This outlook is being influenced by an El Nino-like pattern in the Pacific Ocean, which has a chance of developing into a fully fledged El Nino in the months ahead.
Fortunately, most forecast models suggest an El Nino would be relatively weak and short-lived if one were to develop in the months ahead.

Your Uncle Mike put me on to you, and I am enjoying reading about your Holy Grail of digesting the top hundred books—a worthy and exciting challenge.
We have met on several occasions and are "shirtail" relatives: I'm the American married to Beryl, your Aunt Angela's sister. We live in Sanibel, Florida and come to Eastbourne in the summer; in fact, we saw you at Mike and Angela's home this past summer. along with your mother Prue and Anthony.
i, too, am a blogger and have written on sundry subjects since March 2009. I've written 254 blogs in that time. If you would care to sample my blogs, I write under the name of fleshpotflashes.blogspot.com.
In any case, I will follow your brave new world of books with pleasure. Having read in English literature, I'm a bit of a bookworm, as well.
Keep up the good work. Beryl joins me in warm regards.
What a lovely message to come home to after a very grey day in London! Of course I remember you – I'm sure we've talked about books on many occasions, my favourite being Gone With the Wind! It certainly is a Holy Grail of books to get through, but as I love reading I'm finding it so much fun. I'll absolutely have a look at your blog as well. Do let me know if you (or Beryl) have any books to recommend so I can give them a read as well.
The closest thing to "the great American novel" is "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald, my personal favourite. They have made two films of it (Alan Ladd, then Robert Redford as Gatsby), both of which missed the mark. I understand a new version with Leonard DiCaprio is in work. Fitzgerald at his best writes poetic prose to raise goose bumps on your skin. It is a must read and a book for the ages.
My name is James Conrad and I have written a novel called The Ideal Man, about twenty-nine-year-old Grace Watts, who is feeling stifled in her marriage to David Watts, a successful real estate agent. He is financially secure, but is insensitive, unimaginative, sexually inept and sometimes cruel. As Grace seeks meaning in her life, David becomes annoyed at what he considers "erratic behavior" and frustrated that his wife refuses to let anybody dominate her. Furthermore, he is tempted by the affections of Lana Dyson, his colleague from the real estate agency who is waiting for his increasingly fragile marriage to disintegrate so that she can have him all to herself. However, Grace remains with him because she has a fear of being alone.
Grace crosses paths with Anthony Parris, an artist who opts for one-night stands because of a fear of intimacy. She becomes disgusted when she sees him in the arms of many different women, but when she unwittingly attends one of his exhibitions, she becomes increasingly drawn to him herself. In turn, Anthony learns that Grace is a dependable confidant. As David begins to let Grace down more and more, Anthony proves – much to her surprise – to be a strong ally. But will he believe her when she expresses her feelings for him?
The book is published by Fine Tooth Press and has been in print since November 14, 2011. It is also available for the Nook and soon will be made available for Amazon's Kindle. I would love to ask, what steps should I take to secure a review with your website? Please let me know. I thank you much for your time and consideration. The link to where the book can be purchased is enclosed below, and on that page you will find the page count, price, ISBN and all other relevant information. An electronic copy of the book can be made available upon request.
I know we don't know each other, but I was browsing the SYP's Fb page and somehow ran into you (and other people who seem to be members of it, I assume) then got to your blog.
Before joining SYP I thought of asking around a bit, how is it like to be a member – and more than that, do you ever manage to go to their events and stuff? To me, this would be a lil' problem as I live in Portsmouth, but I could make it to London from time to time.
Thanks so much and I'm looking forward for hearing from you, as I'm not sure yet on whether to do it or not.
I have been reading your blog for a while now – and I'm subscribed now! – I absolutely love how you write. You voice is both charming, witty, and honest. I am also a 20-something. I was hoping to do an author interview with you if you are available. I am at shannonathompson@aol.com. Please feel free to contact me.
Hope you are well… just wanted to say I love the website – I hope the Australian adventure is going well.
All the best from a windswept London!
Cool story. Thanks for the inspiration.

Q: Looping through a column and copying values from cell into an array So i am really new to excel and I am trying to copy some values in a cell into an array and later display the array in a column. So what I have is a list of first names in a column(A).Then I have a list of numbers next to the names in column(B). So what I am trying to do is loop through the numbers and if any of the numbers equals 4. copy the name corresponding to the number into my array. and later display that array lets say in column D. This is what I have so far.
    Option Explicit

    Public Sub loopingTest()

    Dim FinalRow As Long '
    Dim i As Long 'varable that will loop through the column
    Dim maxN As Integer 'variable that will hold the maximum number
    Dim j As Long 'variable that will hold the index of the array
    Dim ArrayTest As Variant

    FinalRow = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row ' will get the last row

   For i = 1 To FinalRow 'loop until the last row

      If Range("B" & i) = 4 Then 'if any of the values of column B matches 4 then
        ArrayTest(j) = Range("A" & i) 'copy the value corresponding to column A to the array
        j = j + 1 'increment array index

     End If 'end of endif

     Next i 'increment column

     'output array into column D
     For x = 1 to FinalRow
        Range("D" & x)  = ArrayTest(x)
      Next x

     End Sub

Would this be a correct way of doing this? Also if I would update column B to any numbers I would love column D to update automatically. Any help would be appreciated

A: Use WorksheetFunction.Transpose(Array) method to print an array to spreadsheet. It's an efficient (and built-in) method widely used to print an array to a spreadsheet in one go.
Avoid comments like End if 'end of end if as anybody reading your code will know that already. More about the DRY principle.
The downside of VBA Arrays is that you always have to specify the size at the creation time. It's a long topic and there are alternative ways, avoiding arrays etc, but I am not going to discuss it here. A workaround is to start at 0 and then resize(increase) the array as you go using ReDim Preserve
Public Sub loopingTest()

    Dim lastRow As Long
    Dim i As Long
    ReDim ArrayTest(0)

    FinalRow = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row ' will get the last row

    For i = 1 To lastRow

        If Range("B" & i) = 4 Then 'if any of the values of column B matches 4 then

            ArrayTest(UBound(ArrayTest)) = Range("A" & i) 'copy the value corresponding to column A to the array
            ReDim Preserve ArrayTest(UBound(ArrayTest) + 1)

        End If

    Next i

    Range("D1:D" & UBound(ArrayTest)) = WorksheetFunction.Transpose(ArrayTest)

End Sub

now a short version of your code would be
Public Sub loopingTest()
    Dim i As Long: ReDim ArrayTest(0)
    For i = 1 To Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
        If Range("B" & i) = 4 Then
            ArrayTest(UBound(ArrayTest)) = Range("A" & i)
            ReDim Preserve ArrayTest(UBound(ArrayTest) + 1)
        End If
    Next i
    Range("D1:D" & UBound(ArrayTest)) = WorksheetFunction.Transpose(ArrayTest)
End Sub

Update:
You can use a variable instead of 4
Public Sub loopingTest()

    Dim lastRow As Long
    Dim myNumber as Long
    myNumber = 5
    Dim i As Long
    ReDim ArrayTest(0)

    FinalRow = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row ' will get the last row

    For i = 1 To lastRow

        If Range("B" & i) = myNumber Then

            ArrayTest(UBound(ArrayTest)) = Range("A" & i)
            ReDim Preserve ArrayTest(UBound(ArrayTest) + 1)

        End If

    Next i

    Range("D1:D" & UBound(ArrayTest)) = WorksheetFunction.Transpose(ArrayTest)

End Sub

A: purely for information you could do the same without looping using something like
Public Sub nonloopingTest()

   Dim lastRow                     As Long
   Dim myNumber                    As Long
   Dim vOut

   myNumber = 5

   lastRow = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row   ' will get the last row
   vOut = Filter(ActiveSheet.Evaluate("TRANSPOSE(if(B1:B" & lastRow & "=" & myNumber & ",A1:A" & lastRow & ",""||""))"), "||", False)
   If UBound(vOut) > -1 Then Range("D1").Resize(UBound(vOut) + 1) = WorksheetFunction.Transpose(vOut)

End Sub

Gain weight-loss success by being at peace with eating
Amy Nadelen
One year, you're filling your pantry with only fat-free "goodies." The next, just juice and raw veggies, please. The year after that, you're eating like a caveman.
It seems we'll try anything and everything to lose weight. And often we learn the hard way that most fad diets fail. But a more recent approach, developed by dietitian and therapist Ellyn Satter, is promising to change the way people look at weight loss.
"Eating competence" — an alternative to those here-today-gone-tomorrow diets — is especially promising around the holidays because it's designed to make you feel good again about eating, allowing you to eat food you enjoy while teaching you to be more in tune with your body. According to research first published in the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior, people who are competent eaters make healthier food choices and have healthier body weights and cholesterol and blood pressure levels.
These simple steps will get you started in the new year and, hopefully, change your outlook — and waistline — for good.
1 Crowd out less nutritious foods, but don't restrict them. Tell people they can't have pizza for five days and what do they crave? Pizza. On day six, what do they eat? Pizza. A lot of pizza. Numerous research studies have shown that for long-term weight loss success, restrictions don't work. Rather than taking away problem foods, add in more and more healthy ones. Serve a salad with your pizza. Next, add in some sautéed veggies. Tack on a beautiful fruit salad. Before long, the pizza is no longer a solo act.
2 Forget the numbers. Eating healthy shouldn't be a complicated mathematical equation. Rather than calculating total calories, grams of fat and all that, simply read a food item's list of ingredients. Look for a short list fewer than five ingredients is a good rule of thumb and be wary of anything that sounds like a chemical or that you wouldn't stock in your own pantry. If a food has ingredients that sound like real food, most likely it will be good for you, too. No calculator required.
3 Be mindful of your hunger cues. So often, we get in our own way. We eat because we're bored, sad or stressed, not necessarily because we're hungry. The first step in overcoming this tendency is to be mindful of your body's hunger—and fullness—cues every time you eat. Assess clearly what your body is telling you. Then eat enough to make you full and no more. It's amazing what your body will tell you if you simply take your time and pay attention.
4: Make mealtime a habit. Commit to making mealtime a regularly scheduled part of your day, and treat it like any other important appointment on your calendar. Our bodies perform best when they get food on a regular basis. If you skip lunch a few days or push dinner off until 9 p.m., your metabolism goes haywire.
5: Sit down for your snacks. We've all been there: It's 9 a.m. and you're starved because you only had time for a cereal bar for breakfast. Or it's 2 p.m. and the vending machine monster is calling your name. But the habit of grabbing and gobbling "whatever works" can add up. For a healthier approach, think about snacks as mini-meals. Include a healthy balance from at least two food groups, and actually take a minute to sit down and enjoy it.
6: Learn to like your veggies. If the words "Finish your veggies before you get dessert" still haunt you, it's time to make peace. People who don't love veggies tend to give up on them rather than making them flavorful by preparing them with infused olive oils, sea salt and different herbs. Try all those (no fancy recipes required), and be patient. It can take people several dozen times to learn to like a new food.
7: Eat food you enjoy, without the guilt. Do you love a chocolate croissant? How about a frosted brownie? Great news: You can still eat all of them. The goal here is to make the forbidden foods seem like ordinary foods, so you can eat them in ordinary ways (instead of hiding in the pantry and gobbling down eight cookies as fast as you can). About once or twice a week, enjoy your favorite treat as an afternoon snack. Or include a serving of dessert with your meal—it's even OK to eat it before you eat your veggies. Just make sure to savor the flavors and enjoy the experience, without the guilt. Make it normal and you won't need to binge.
