2. Put the short ribs in a nonreactive (stainless steel, glass, or plastic) container and pour the marinade over them, turning to coat the meat on all sides. Marinate the short ribs for at least 1 hour at room temperature or cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
3. When ready to grill, heat a gas or charcoal grill to medium heat (350°F to 375°F).
4. Remove the short ribs from the marinade, shaking off the excess. Grill the short ribs, turning once, until just cooked through, about 6 minutes. Season with salt, and garnish with sesame seeds and scallions before serving.

Update: Atlanta Guts Bullhook Ban
Published June 19, 2012 by PETA. Last Updated May 1, 2017.
Update: The Atlanta City Council voted to prevent the use of bullhooks but only when it can be proved beyond a reasonable doubt that they were used in a specific instance to "discipline" an elephant and that the elephant's skin was broken, scarred, or otherwise damaged as a result. This is a step backward from Fulton County's outright ban on the use of bullhooks. This ordinance will not protect elephants because enforcing it would require that someone not only be there to witness the abuse, but be close enough to see the actual damage to the elephant's skin. The bullhook would have to break the skin, something a blunt object which causes pain does not always do. Obviously Ringling hides its abusive "training and handling" from public view, hooks elephants in places people can't typically see such as under the chin and behind the ears, and uses gray Wonder Dust to stop bleeding quickly and conceal wounds. And, broken bones and forming bruises can't always be seen with the naked eye. Only a ban on the use of bullhooks can protect elephants from bullhook abuse. Councilmembers Felicia Moore and Natalyn Archibong introduced a total bullhook ban at the end of Monday's City Council meeting. It will go to the Public Safety Committee for review before the council can vote on it.
You may recall that last summer Fulton County, Georgia, became the largest municipality in the U.S. to ban the use of bullhooks—rods with a sharp metal hook and point on the end that are used to strike, jab, hook, prod, and beat elephants on the most sensitive parts of their bodies.
Then this February, because Ringling Bros. can't force elephants to perform unnatural and often painful circus tricks without this torture device and because the circus refuses to get with the times and join the numerous circuses that don't use elephants, Ringling sued Fulton County to challenge enforcement of the ban. That lawsuit is ongoing, but in the meantime, Ringling is pressuring the city of Atlanta to make sure that the bullhook ban is not enforceable within city limits.
On Monday, the Atlanta City Council faces a very important decision—it will decide whether or not to allow the use of cruel bullhooks in the city. While some councilmembers support a ban, others are on the fence and are facing tremendous pressure from the mayor and companies such as Ringling Bros. that make millions off elephant abuse. But the councilmembers are subject to public pressure as well, and every e-mail that they receive adds to that pressure.
Indeed, the councilmembers have made it clear that being contacted by the public would be the most influential factor in persuading them to ban bullhooks. And that's where we need your help for the elephants! Please take a moment to urge the City Council to do the right thing and put an end to elephant abuse in the city of Atlanta. Please be sure to note any ties that you have to Atlanta.

Covington, KY—After holding over 20 book signings across the country for her book Pink Politics, Covington Author Kathy Groob is holding a book event in her hometown next weekend at Roebling Point Books & Coffee on Saturday morning, March 16, 2013 from 10 a.m. until noon. Groob will be signing books and holding a discussion about what is happening on the national level to elect more women to public office. Click here for more details about the event.
Kathy Groob launched her PINK POLITICS book tour in 2012. In this book PINK POLITICS – The Woman's Practical Guide to Winning Elections, Groob tells of her own experiences as a candidate and offers women a realistic assessment of what it takes to run a winning campaign. The book gets to the heart of what women need to know before running for office or as they are kicking off their candidacy for public office.
Kathy Groob held Pink Politics speaking events in Bowling Green and Louisville Kentucky, Wisconsin, New York, California, Minnesota, Florida, West Virginia and several throughout Ohio. "I'm energized by the women I have met throughout the country who are interested in running for office themselves or helping others to run successfully. We're building a movement with so many outstanding organizations and individuals dedicated to the cause. I am proud to be part of the national trend to elect more women to pubic office," says Kathy Groob.
PINK POLITICS does more than define proven campaign strategies. It offers stories about women candidates running for office at the local and national levels, and how they addressed challenges that all women candidates face. "PINK POLITICS offers women a comprehensive, practical guide to running for office and about challenges they will face before throwing their hat into the ring," said Diane Whalen, Florence Kentucky mayor.
Developing a strong grassroots effort and outworking your opponent!
A 30+-year businesswoman and executive, Kathy Groob was elected to her hometown city council two times before running for the Kentucky Senate. Groob has become a powerful advocate for women in politics and has inspired hundreds of women to become involved in politics. She is the founder of ElectWomen.com and is a founding board member of The Women's Network and co-founder of Emerge Kentucky, a women's candidate training program. She conducts training programs and seminars for various groups and candidates.
Kathy Groob resides in Covington Kentucky which ranks 38th in the U.S. for women in elective office. She and her husband provide political consulting and training through their business, November Strategies.

Classic Fiction, Fiction
"Here Comes the Bribe" by Sam Hellman
"Politics, I has heard said or read, makes beds strange fellers. Many a true word is spoken of a pest."
Sam Hellman
A newspaper reporter and fiction writer with a healthy sense of self-deprecation, Sam Hellman wrote in 1925 that "those who have been reading my stuff will hardly believe that I am a college graduate with an early academic penchant for Greek accusatives and Latin gerundives." In his humorous stories, witty commoners with crude dialect dress each other down in farcical situations. In spite of his highbrow studies, Hellman observed people and their language while traveling the country after college. In "Here Comes the Bribe," a scrappy Long Islander accidentally finds success in politics.
Politics, I has heard said or read, makes beds strange fellers. Many a true word is spoken of a pest. Ever since I let them Doughmorons fluke me into grabbing off that job in the legislature I ain't had no more sleep than a guy with the hives doing a six-day bike trick on the corrugated roof of a boiler factory.
Ordinarily a new cuckoo elected from Long Island to one of them per-dime grafts attracts about as much attention out in the state as the second vice president of the Lotto Club of Gimme, Utah, would in Somewhere, east of Suez; but in my cases things is different. Besides being the only Democrat that ever copped in the county, the platform I run on was woozy enough to make the big city papers throw a mess of infernal triangles offa the front page to get room for spelling my name wrong, and also for surprising me with reporters' ideas of what I would 'a' maybe said if they'd seen me.
You lads that cuts your breakfast short every Thursday morning and rushes mad to the news stand with a nickel in your hand remembers how Luke Cravens, the boss of the party, slicked me into getting on the ticket with a promise that they was no chance of winning, but a good one of getting the bum's rush outta Doughmore, which, as more than two million and a quarter folks knows, has been the heights of my ambitions from the day the frau and the Magruders f.o.b.'d me into this limousine layout.
I guess it ain't fair to blame what happened on Luke, him not having no way of knowing that the Republican bird was gonna beat it with a frill and the building-and-loan jack the day before the election; but I don't see where I could 'a' done anymore. It looked like a cinch that I'd be trimmed bad, and besides would get the air from the club crowd on account of the bill I was talking about introducing to slap a heavy tax on golf balls, sticks, links and such.
Instead, here I is with a Hon. stuck in front of my monniker and stronger'n ever with the pill pushers, them blah boys having figured out that what I was aiming at was a deep schemes to keep the rough-raffs outta the game.
After election night I don't get to see Cravens for a week. Finally, I drifts into the village to give my sorrows swimming lessons and I meets up with him.
"Heard the latest?" I inquires.
"Not lately," he comes back. "What's yours?"
"I'm resigning," I tells him.
"I know one better than that," says Luke. "They was once a Scotchman and — "
"I'm resigning," I repeats.
"Sure you are," returns Cravens. "Talking about something in general, what's your ideas on nothing in particular?"
"What do you think I am?" I yelps. "Kidding or cuckoo?"
"If you ain't serious," says Luke, "you're kidding; if you is, you're what comes after the 'or.' What's eating you?"
"I'm all et," I answers. "Got any notion what I been through since last Tuesday?"
"Better'n you have," says Cravens, prompt. "The boys has been running you ragged for cuts of the cake they expects you'll get for 'em in Albany. In facts, I sent a dozen or so lads up to see you myselfs."
"That's damn nice of you," I barks, grateful, "and I'll set you up to a quart of wood alcohol the first chance I gets. You responsible for them bobos that drug me outta the hay at three a.m. and them janes — "
"Janes?" says Luke. "What janes?"
"Well," I tells him, "I don't remember the names of more than two or four hundred of 'em, but they was one old gal that wanted to know where I stood, if anywheres, on Sunday shows; another that tried to smoke me out — "
"Don't let them worry you," cuts in Cravens. "That gang usually gets after the candidates before the election; but not figuring you for a chance, they laid off until right now."
"They ain't no 'right now' in them cases," I growls. "It's wrong whenever."
"You gotta put up with that kinda stuff," says Luke. "You must remember you is in the public eye."
"Yeh," I comes back, "like a cinder. Can you resign with a lead pencil or do you gotta do it with ink?"
"Forget it!" snaps Cravens. "Don't be a scoffjob. They ain't a politician in the state that's sitting prettier than you is. In a coupla years we'll have you in Congress, and you might be governor someday."
"Uh-huh," says I; "and I might also get to be the mother of the late queen of Armenia, but I ain't got none of them kinda itches. I'd sooner sleep tight than be President. Anyways, after what I has been doing since I seen you last, I just gotta get out from under."
"What you been doing?" inquires Luke.
"Nothing," I answers, "excepting to kid everybody that come to see me into believing that I was wild about the hop they was whooping it up for. I shooed out four women with a cross-my-heart that I'd have the law on the sun for making cider cheat. If that don't annoy you none, what do you think of the eleven boys I promised the same job to?"
"What job's that?" asks Cravens.
"Road overseer," I tells him.
"Don't worry about that," says Luke. "It ain't even vacant. I thought you told me you didn't know nothing about politics."
"I don't and I won't," I answers.
"You plays it perfect," comes back the County chairman. "Promise 'em everything; deliver only to them that does."
"Does what?" I bites.
"Delivers," says Cravens. "When do you grab the night boat for Albany?"
"When'd you lose your ear sight?" I yelps. "Ain't I just got done telling you that — "
"Now, now," interrupts Luke, soft, "be mother's little angel pet. You can't quit, Dink. We ain't never elected a Democrat here before, and if you does a yellow we'll never have another. You can't expect every Republican to play ball for us by jumping the works with a skirt and the roll. Besides, I thought you was wild about getting away from Doughmore. Here's a chance to leave it flat for three months, anyways."
"That part of it's all right," says I; "but I ain't keen about making no sucker outta myselfs. Here I is promised all up to vote nine different ways on everything, from getting after the Pullman folks on this berth-control proposition some wren talked my arm off about, to taking snipes outta little gal's mouths — "
"Listen, bo," cuts in Cravens, "they is only one way of making a sucker outta yourself at the legislature."
"How?" I asks.
"By going to the mat for something on the account of a campaign pledge," explains Luke. "It ain't even good form to mention 'em after election."
"Ain't I supposed to act like the voters wants?" I inquires. "Or is I supposed to do like I thinks personal?"
"Thinking's even rude," replies Cravens; "but they is two ideas about the subject you brung up. Some holds that a guy should do like he wants to do — "
"And the other?" I butts in.
"And the other," goes on Luke, "that he shouldn't never do nothing that he don't want to."
"Smelligent," says I. "Where does the people get off in that kinda misdeal?"
"They don't," answers Cravens. "They keeps right on riding and paying fare."
If it wasn't for the Magruders I would 'a' passed up the job in spite of all that Luke said and done to skid me into it, but them babies is got a way of rubbing my fuzz the wrong way and making me do a lotta tricks I shouldn't oughta. All Jim and Liz has to do is to be for a thing for me to pick up a club and beat its brains in. I ain't ordered ham and eggs since I found out they liked 'em.
After I finishes up my talk with Cravens, in the which I promised to think it over a couple days, I beats it home and finds the Magruders cluttering up the front porch.
"Has you resigned?" asks Lizzie.
"Want me to?" I comes back.
"Jim says," answers the measle, "that you — "
"Never mind what Jim says," I cuts in. "Ain't you got no ideas in your own name? Don't you ever get anything in the box score excepting assists?"
"I got a mind of my own," snaps the Magruder nix.
"All right," I admits; "but why don't you take it outta the safety deposit and show it to us sometime? I ain't gonna swipe it."
"Know who I am?" (Illustrated by Tony Sarg)
"I wouldn't trust a politician," says Lizzie, cold; "not even with nothing."
"Is you really gonna take the job?" butts in Jim, quick, to cover up his wife's fox paws.
"Why not?" I inquires.
"Well," says he, "it's a pretty dirty game, ain't it?"
"Ever play in it?" I wants to know.
"I wouldn't touch it with a six-foot pole," he comes back. "They ain't nobody in politics but a lotta grafters."
"We once lived in a house," says I, "where we had a furnace that was always on the bum. One day it got so cold I went downstairs to see what the hell. I found out the janitor was peddling the coal I'd bought and hadn't taken the ashes out for a month. So I canned him, cleaned the thing out myself and never did have no trouble after that."
"You should oughta get the kinda furnace we is got," remarks Lizzie. "Jim says — "
"The furnace I'm talking about," I continues, "is a figure in speech."
"Ours is a Little Diamond Hot Box, ain't it, Jim?" inquires the sciatica.
"Where'd Lizzie go?" I asks, acting kinda surprised.
"I'm here," she answers, wide-eyed.
"You're here, all right," says I; "but you ain't there. What I was trying to broadcast," I goes on, turning to Magruder, "before that frau of yourn turned on the statics, was the idea that if you don't like dirt you can't cuss it outta the room; you gotta grab a broom and sweep."
"I suppose," sneers Jim, "you're gonna make politics as clean as a hind tooth, huh?"
"I'll maybe try," I answers. "What'll you do? Stand around while some dip frisks your pockets and bawl out the coppers instead of taking a crack at the crook?"
"Jim ain't afraid of nothing," says Lizzie.
"I ain't afraid of my wife neither," I shoots back.
"You calling me nothing?" busts out the misses, who ain't said a word so far.
"Not a thing," I returns, hasty. "You vote at the last election, Jim?"
"What for?" he comes back. "They don't count 'em anyways."
"Well," says I, "it's a cinch they don't count them that ain't cast. When I gets to Albany — "
"So you're going?" interrupts Magruder.
"Yeh," I tells him. "I kinda feels that I owes that much to prosperity. I'm looking ahead to the time when Dink O'Day Day will be celebrated from Rock Bound, Maine, to Climate, California, and when statutes of me in the parks will be as thick as empty shoe boxes after a church picnic."
"You'll look swell in the legislature," sarcastics Jim. "What do you know about parlor-mantel law?"
"No more'n I know about kitchen-sink law," I admits; "but it won't take me more'n a minute and a half to run it down and make it drop from exhaustion."
"I never seen a guy hate his wife's husband like you does," says Magruder. "Ever hear of Roberts' Rules and Orders?"
"I don't wear no man's collars," I answers, "and that bird Roberts ain't gonna give me no orders. Anyways, Luke Cravens is the boss of the district. Where does this Roberts boy — "
"You wouldn't understand," cuts in Magruder, "even if you knew. For example, suppose you was to get on the floor of the house — "
"Who's gonna put me there?" I yelps. I don't want you to get no ideas I'm such a stupe as I sounds, but I'm even willing to carry that reputation for the pleasures of razz-jazzing Magruder.
"I mean," he explains, "if you was making a speech on some bill and a bobo should get up and move that it should be put on the table, what would you do?"
"It all depends," I answers, "on the way he said it. If he was nice and polite, I'd put it there; but if he tried to rough-bluff me into doing it, I'd leave it just where it was and he'd probably spend the next few minutes picking a inkwell outta his hair."
"Flying codfish!" hollers Jim, waving his hands like a yell leader. "And you're the kinda guy that's gonna make laws for fifteen million people!"
"That's what," says I; "but what do you expects if right thinkers like you won't take no interest in politics and'd rather play golf than vote?"
"Talking about golf," comes back Magruder, "is you really gonna introduce that tax bill?"
"I'll tell the popeyed world I am," I replies. "A dollar on each ball and five fish on each club."
"Think you can put over a grab like that?" he asks.
"I wouldn't be so surprised," I answers. "When I gets done telling the boys about the terrible housing conditions of the ducks on Long Island on account of the land being drug out from under 'em for golf courses, I expects the tax'll go with one big sob. D'you know things is so bad on the North Shore that seven and eight ducks is gotta sleep on one rock?"
"I didn't even know ducks slept on rocks," remarks Lizzie.
"You should study national science, gal," I returns. "What'd you suppose they slept on? Credit? Where'd you imagine the expression 'duck on the rock' come from?"
"I don't know," says she.
"I don't know the name of the saloon neither," cuts in Kate, slipping me the glare to sidetrack. "Please stop teasing Lizzie and try and give a imitation of talking sense."
"Who should I imitate?" I inquires. "Jim?"
"You couldn't go further and do worse," suggests the Magruder exposed nerve; and when I starts laughing she goes on, all flustered, "I means, you could go further and do no worse."
"That'll be enough," yelps Jim. "I'll do my own answering back from now and on. Cutting the kidding cold," he continues, turning to me, "I thought that golf-tax idea of yourn was to keep the cheap johns from building links around Doughmore and the other swell clubs."
"Even a natural error like you," says I, "couldn't be no wronger. Can you see me pulling chestnuts at a fire for the plutocats around here? I'm a friend of the common people and — "
"The commoner, the friendlier," interrupts the frau.
"Maybe," I admits; "but I promised the duck growers of this district that I'd go to the front for 'em, and a promise and a performance with Dink O'Day is as alike as two peas in a puddle. Experts has tried with instruments and them slow movie cameras to find a difference between 'em, but without no luck. It was funny. Oncet they was studying a promise of mine, and when I told 'em after a coupla hours it was really a regular performance and not no promise a-tall, they just gave up."
"Doing business with a politician," remarks Magruder, "I guess they hadda. When you gets to Albany them experts'll be able to leave their naked eyes at home and still see the difference."
"What makes you think so?" I inquires.
"Didn't I hear you tell that Glumph woman you was gonna pass a law to stop all picture shows on Sunday, Wednesday and the nights the Ladies' Aid met?" asks Jim.
"You did," I tells him.
"Yeh," jeers Magruder; "and wasn't I there when you promised Mildew down at the Tivoli that you'd put the censors on the hummer and fix it so the film folks could do anything they wanted to, within reason and without?"
"Such is the case and the facts in it," I confesses. "What about it?"
"How you gonna keep both promises?" demands Jim.
"What," says I, "leaving out present company, could be simpler? I'll introduce the bill the Glumph frill wants and also the one Mildew's after."
"How," yelps Magruder, "can you be on both sides at oncet?"
"Ah," I returns, "that's what makes politics a art. What's wrong with the way I'm doing? Some of the folks in the county wants this; some others don't want that. Who'm I to say what's proper for 'em? I'm just like a waiter in a restaurant. Everybody that comes in asks for something different. I puts in the order. If the chef don't wanna cook up the mess, whose fault is it? A jane drifts in with her trap all set for a pair of fried wizzle-wumph eggs, sunny side up. Is it my business to tell her they ain't good for her complexions and try and set her up to a platter of raw ox ears?"
"You mean rare, don't you?" inquires Lizzie.
"I don't know no more what you're talking about than you do," says Jim; "but how you gonna vote on these different things when its comes to a show-down?"
"O'Day," I replies, "is far enough down on the roll call for my judgment and my conscience to get together before I has to. I'm gonna introduce everything that anyone wants and let 'em take their chances. Personally, nothing don't interest me excepting my duck bill, and I shall fight for it with all the powers I has, with faith in the right and — "
"Oh, hire a hall!" snaps Magruder.
"The Monday Club's got a dandy place," says Lizzie. "You can get it for fifty dollars a night; besides, they is still got the decorations up from the Pappa Eta Motza sorority dance."
Me and Cravens goes to Albany together, Luke figuring on introducing me around to the high moguls of the party and seeing that I get started off K.O.
"You'll be kinda busy getting settled," says he, "so I has taken a little work off your hands."
"What work?" I asks.
"Well," he answers, "I figures they is about eight jobs you'll get to hand to the boys in the district and I've picked 'em for you. Seeing as I got you into this, the leastest I can do is to save you from being bothered. I has even notified the lads we's named."
"That's nice," says I; "but — "
"'S all right, Dink," cuts in Luke. "They ain't no thanks necessary. It's maybe taken up some of my time and all that; but when I likes a guy, going to trouble for him's a pleasure."
"Yeh," I returns; "but how about them fifty or sixty birds I promised plums to?"
"Albany," answers Cravens, prompt, "is quite a town. They is a coupla good hotels, and I knows a restaurant I'll take you to, where you orders tea and gets what you meant."
Not caring nothing about them jobs at Doughmore, I don't chase the subject no further. Anyways, I don't aim to stay long. My ideas is to stick around the legislature just enough to see what makes the thing tick and maybe pull a stunt or two that'll get me in bad with the jokes at home, after which me and politics'll call it a day.
Luke makes me acquainted with a bunch of bobos that is supposed to run the works and winds up by taking me to the mansion to meet the governor. He turns out to be a decent feller.
"I has heard a lot about you," says he to me.
"I've seen your name mentioned, too," I comes back, not to be undone in courtesies.
"I wanna talk to you someday about taxes," he goes on. "I understands you has studied 'em deep."
"Governor," I replies, "I don't wanna brag, but if they is anything about taxes I don't know it musta been sprung the day after tomorrow."
"That's fine," smiles the big chief. "They is causing us a lotta trouble. '
"Unwrinkle your brow, gov," I cuts in. "My golf bill will solve everything."
"I must look into it," says he, and me and Cravens beats it.
"I thought," remarks Luke, "that you canned that tax idea of yourn when the Doughmorons started being for it."
"No," I tells him, "I'm going through with it just to prove to them coupon barbers that they give me the wrong rap."
"Well," says Cravens, looking at me kinda narrow, "the play might work out good for you at that."
"You mean," I asks, "the bill might pass?"
"It's got as much chance of doing that," he answers, "as one of them ducks of yourn would have in a scrap with three wildcats, four hyenas and a pair of Australian gluffaws."
"I don't get you," I returns, puzzled.
"No?" smiles Luke. "All right, Rollo, roll your own hoop. If you should want me to cut in later on, you knows where to find me."
I'm still all up in the air trying to figure out what Cravens's been driving at when I gets to the hotel by myselfs and runs into Shem Conover, a baby from up in the state that was knocked down to me earlier in the day as a real slicker in jamming stuff through the House.
"I been waiting to see you," says he. "I wanna little chin-chin."
"About which?" I inquires.
"That golf-tax bill you're touting," he answers. "Need any help?"
"I ain't so sure I'm going through with it," I tells him, not liking the bimbo's looks.
"Who's been talking to you?" he asks, slipping me the narrow eye like Cravens done.
"What you getting at?" I yelps, getting kinda peeved at the mystery stuff.
"Listen, bo," says Conover, "and don't try and gruff me off the lay. If you wanna get any action with that bill of yourn you gotta be sweet to me. I'm chairman of the committee that's gonna get it, and if you don't put me in the line-up — "
"What'll you do?" I barks.
"I'll fix it," he comes back, slow, "so that the chloroform won't work when you want it to, and when you gets ready to deliver the body you'll find the livest corpse you ever seen.'
"I'll sue the Central for this," says I. "When a lad buys a ducat for Albany they ain't got no right to dump him off at Matteawan."
"You're in Albany, little one," remarks Conover, cold; "and when you is in Albany you gotta do like the Albanians does. Do I get a hand dealt me?"
"I ain't gonna introduce the bill," I growls, "and besides — "
"Too late," interrupts Shem. "If you run out on it I'll have it introduced as a committee measure. The idea's too cushy to drop. They worked it with patent medicine down in Arkansas and with baking powder out in Missouri, but the golf act's a new one on the sandbag circuit. Give it a coupla thinks," he finishes up, and drifts away casual.
"You'll find the livest corpse you ever seen." (Illustrated by Tony Sarg)
I looks around expecting a guy in blue with a bunch of keys to grab him, but nothing like that don't happen. Dizzy and woozy, I drifts across the street to the restaurant Luke told me about and squats me down.
"What'll you have?" asks the waiter.
"A cup of tea, God forbid," says I.
It's wonderful what a little oolong will do for a lad that gets the kind he means instead of the sort he asks for, and right away I begins to perk up some. But it don't last long. I'm about to yell for an encore when I looks up to see a feller standing besides me, a stout, surtaxy appearing citizen with a wide grin.
"Know who I am?" he inquires.
"Considering the luck I been in all day," I answers, "you couldn't be nothing excepting a revenue agent."
"My card, Mr. O'Day," says he, and slips it.
"'August P. Stevens,'" I reads aloud, and then to myselfs, "'representing the Universal Outdoor Co.'"
"You cover all that territory by yourselfs?" I asks.
"No," he comes back; "I'm mostly in Albany and Washington."
"What do you sell," I wants to know, "scenery or air?"
"I don't sell," he returns, looking me straight in the eyes. "I buy."
"What?" I asks.
"Different things," he answers, evasive. "I suppose you know we is one of the largest sporting-goods houses in the world. Naturally, we is interested in your bill to tax golf balls and sticks. Shall I sit down?"
"If your lumbago'll let you," I replies; "but you might as well know later than sooner that I've heard enough of that bill this afternoon to last me until three weeks after my funeral. I ain't even sure I'm gonna flip it into the hopper."
"The boys around here," says Stevens, "'ll tell you that I'm a square shooter and don't mince up no words. With me a spade's a spade and I know how to dig. What do you need to help you make up your mind about that bill?"
"Which way?" I mumbles, fanning for time.
What a zero brain I'd been not to get jerry to that talk of Luke and Conover about sandbags and chloroform and the such!
"Our way, of course," answers the sportsgoods man. "You forget the golf tax and we'll not forget you."
"I see," says I; "you wanna bribe me not to put the bill in."
"Oh," returns Stevens, "you can put it in; but it'll get sick in the committee room, be operated on and die under the ether. All you gotta do is to let the dead stay dead and get all wound up in something else. You ain't got a thing to lose. They ain't no chance of jamming the tax over and — "
"What do you wanna buy me off for then?" I cuts in.
"Well," says Stevens, "they is always a outside possibility of anything going through in the last-minute rush. Besides, we don't wanna have taxes on balls and clubs even discussed."
"You can't stop that," I retorts. "I'm full of it now."
"Full of what?" he inquires.
"Disgust," I snaps, and ducks outta the place.
They ain't no meeting of the legislature the next day, and I runs down to Doughmore, first having wired Cravens that I was coming and for him to meet me. I ain't one of them holier than thous, but raw work always did get me sore, even in them times when I didn't ask a dollar bill for references. Luke sees right off that I'm riled.
"Do I look like a grafter?" I asks.
"The light ain't so good here," he comes, back, calm. "What makes you doubtful?
I cuts loose and tells him everything that happened to me in Albany after he left. He listens with about as much excitement as I was retailing a bright crack pulled by my third cousin's infant progeny.
"You don't seem surprised none," I remarks at the finish. "Is they all dips up in Albany?"
"No," replies Luke, "they is about 95 percent honest; but at every session in every legislature they is always a few sandbaggers — guys that push in stick-up bills, not with any hopes of passing 'em, but on it gamble that somebody will get all scared up and buy 'em off. The railroads used to be the prize marks, but — "
"Say," I shoots out a yelp, "you ain't got no ideas that I'm a sandbagger, is you?"
"Well," returns Cravens, "at first I thought that blah of yours about golf and ducks was just some pretty fun you was having with the Doughmorons; but when it flopped with them and you kept right on yelling tax, even in front of the governor, I begun to get a little suspicious."
"Honey sweets the Malay's pants!" I hollers.
"Do I look like a grafter?" I asks. (Illustrated by Tony Sarg)
"Huh?" inquires Luke.
"That's Latin," I explains, "for lads with evil minds that thinks everybody else is got 'em."
"Evil mind, eh?" says Cravens, kinda peevish. "Any bird that'll go to the front for a new nuisance tax, when everybody in the country is nearly bent over double carrying the load of 'em they got now is either a stupe or a grafter. And you ain't so stupish.'
"Damn it," I barks, "I'll — "
"Listen to me," interrupts Luke. "I ain't calling you a crook, but what do you expect people'll think of a bobo in these times that'll talk up another gouge, and picks out a nice juicy game like golf for the victim?"
"I was only kidding," I mumbles, feeble;
"I suppose," admits the chairman; "but like the feller remarked after lugging careless baby six blocks, they is such a thing as carrying a kid too far."
"It seems to me," says I, suddenly remembering his stuff in Albany, "you was willing to take your bit."
"I was," he answers, cool, "I don't never throw no spoons away when it's raining soup."
"Gosh," I groans, "I'm in a swell fix. If I don't introduce that bill now they'll say I been bought off. If I does, I'll have to go to the mat for it and keep fighting all the time I'm gonna resign," I announces, blunt.
"That'll be the worst yet," says Cravens "Then they'll figure you was bought off good and was afraid of a investigation."
"What shall I do?" I asks.
"Just forget all about it," advises Luke. "I'll fix things with Stevens and Conover so nothing'll ever be mentioned about the golf bill."
"Sure you can?" I wants to know.
"Certain sure," says Cravens. "Won' I the guy that sent 'em to see you?
On the way to the house I meets up with Lizzie. "I just been to the Monday Club," she tells me. "You still wanna hire a hall?"
"No," I answers, "not a hall — a hole."
"A hole?" repeats Lizzie. "What you gonna do with a hole?"
"Crawl in," says I.

Douglas K Stivers says:
I love reading The Saturday Evening Post short stories and serials. Unfortunately the online Post has no way to find specific stories or serials to read. I've been entering Post authors, titles of stories, and date published into an Excel spreadsheet just to occupy my time during shut in. So far I have over 6100 lines of data entered from Aaberg, Jean Littlejohn, Doctor's Choice, 8/14/1948, to Zacks, Robert, Parents Keep Out, 8/5/1950. I figure I am half way through the short stories list. When I get through the short stories, then I'll search the serials for another spreadsheet. Then I'll have a way to search the list for short stories and serials and be able to pull up the specific magazine to read them on line. If the Post wants the list, I'll be glad to give it to them for free. Again, it was something to occupy my time while being told to stay home.


Sam appears this week live on BBC Radio 3's In Tune. He and violinist Emily Sun, in preparation for their recital together at Manchester's Bridgewater Hall on September 27th, will be interviewed by Sean Rafferty and will perform a short set together in the studio. The recital includes works of Tchaikovsky, Beethoven, and Fauré.

Simple but complex geometries that make the bed breathing the room, enriching the environment with a unique expression of craftsmanship.
A very clean and dry line that of Reverie. Geometries are simple but ex-tremely complex to make technically. This bed with a narrow headboard (headboard as wide as the sommier) is the first example at Visionnaire.
The bed literally "breathes" into the room. Inserted in the centre, not lea-ning against the wall, it enriches the environment.
"I dreamed all night... of flying in the wind between words and... masked sirens".
Roberto Lazzeroni tells us about the suggestion of his creation.
Clear is the inspiration for the Milo mirror in the 70s. The reflective partis "suspended" and made in three different colours. The surface is, infact, divided into three chromatic sections with parts in natural mirror,pink and blue. The metal frame is separated from the mirror by four brasselements. The bottom is made of black wood.
Lazzeroni
Roberto Lazzeroni was born in Pisa where he lives and works. From the beginning he has always shown an interest both in the phenomena of the world of conceptual art and the ones of radical design. In the early 80's he started to be interested in industrial and interior design, a specialization which he defines as "fundamental" for the following approach to the world of the "industrial product". A fine connoisseur of the history of design and its ralated signs, he is very skillful to put daily into practice this knowledge. Talking about his own projects, Lazzeroni uses the expression of "sentimental design".
Michele Astolfi
Born in Bologna, he completes his studies through Italy, Switzerland, United States and Paris. Being a fan of photography and of digital processing, he experiments the combination between the image and the different materials such as fossil wood, crystals, natural stone and steel.
Among the unusual decorative themes, the silhouettes of mountain peaks return in the irregular embroidery of portions of furniture, taking on the identity of a visual signature to enhance Ca Foscari headboard, characterized by a sturdy outer frame and inner padding, in a sweeping curved silhouette.
The Bastian bed was born from the expansion of the range of upholstered furniture (sofas, sectionals, armchairs, chaise-longues) which base their design on the "suspended elements" construction of armrests and backs with "envelope" processing and metal friezes.
Burly composition of padded elements marked by fluid and reverberating lines of ultrasound inspiration, which extends to the bedside tables in anosmotic way.
Ca' Foscari Anniversary
Among the unusual decorative themes, the silhouettes of mountain peaks return in the irregular embroidery of portions of furniture, taking on the identity of a visual signature to enhance Ca Foscari headboard, characterized by a sturdy outer frame and innerpadding, in a sweeping curved silhouette.
Beloved Art
Among the most appreciated beds of the Visionnaire collection, the Beloved bed, presented for the first time in 2016, was revisited in 2019 with a more important headboard.
The Genesis walk-in closet system is the result of a long formal and technical research, which aims at maximum compositional versatility and freedom of customization.
A new design inspired by the past, results in a meditative space where art is the core element.
Edges and seams designed to elevate the product to where it belongs, the high tradition of Italian manufacturers, perfectly expressed through the leather.

Summer is my favorite time of the year and the solstice one of my favorite days. The world is just brighter, the energy lighter and more powerful at the same time. On June 21st the Sun shifted into the sign of Cancer signalling the start of summer and summer solstice 2018 in the northern hemisphere. The same way we keep track of the Moon, we track the cycles of the Sun. The word solstice is derived from Latin and translates to "Sun standing still". Shakespeare chose the enchantment of midsummer's eve for A Midsummer Night's Dream and used the term "midsummer's madness" in Twelfth Night to convey the magical mystique of the summer solstice. The solstice is a national holiday and day of feasting in Sweden and Norway. The sun is the center of our life force and power and on this day, the highest point of energy in the year, everything is illuminated.
I'm certainly feeling a bit of the Shakespeare's "midsummer madness" heading into this solstice.
2018 brought with it a great promise. Old patterns and paradigms are shifting both externally and internally, on a large social scale and as individuals. Riding this energy, I started the year off with great promise personally, my creativity soaring, contentment and joy at levels unrealized for years. My ability to share and be of service, to spread love and good will inspired and seemingly boundless.
Here's the thing I want to share though, there is a gap that is created between the honeymoon of being a spiritual awakening newbie and the awakened soul standing on the other side . A gap between the old world you and the exciting new world you. A voyage of discovery fraught with all the highs and lows that come with a pilgrimage to a new land and the new land is you. To be honest, although I know that we never really get it done and that is a good thing, I do have a sense that on this interim growth spurt there is a delineation between what was, what is and what will be.
Old habits and old belief systems live within our neural pathways and these unwanted super highways of information can be doggedly persistent and are extremely difficult to power down. These are the storms of the voyage. It is sunshine and smooth sailing one moment and the next, out of nowhere, comes a monster storm. The storm interferes with newly formed, more positive, affirming ideas and habits by firing up and activating demons of the deep contained in the old neural pathways. And just like that, the journey seems too dangerous to pursue and our lizard brain convinces us to stay in the comforting port of past habits, numbing patterns and old belief structures. We doubt the validity of the journey and doubt ourselves in countless ways. I've made a life's work of ignoring the dark whenever and however possible. Now, I try to embrace the storm and use the energy it provides. My neural pathways tell me to turn back rather than meet the storm head on. This leads to multiple re-starts and the wasted energy, pivoting back and forth from the past to the present is exhausting. It is important to press on.
And if I don't find myself in the middle of a storm, it is the middle of the doldrums. To me, this is worse than the dark and fiery energy of the storms because there is very low and dense energy associated with "The What Is". I know it is important to "be present" compared the alternative of phoning life in. Fair enough and good plan. However, in my opinion, there is a fine line in being present with energy and momentum that carries with it the anticipation of what is to come and the lower, dense energy of being focused on the "what is". The "what is" can focus us in on what's missing and create an atmosphere of lack. When we feel like something's missing and we feel lack, we tend to get bogged down in it. We tend to drift on the surface and lose track of our mindfulness practice. If we're not careful, this can trigger and fire up those old neural pathways and turn us around on our journey. Nothing stops momentum like the "what is" – the doldrums of the spiritual voyage.
Nothing puts the wind in my sails faster than delicious anticipation of what is to come. The "what will be" fuels me and builds all the momentum needed to keep going and to level up on this journey to joy. The "what will be" is a collection of daydreams that gather steam and this is where the magic happens. It is in this state of allowing that we act with love in our hearts and our life is illuminated. The storms of "what was" and the doldrums of "what is" is replaced by the energizing and joyful, "what will be". It is in this place that we discover who we really are, we experience miracles and synchronicity, needs are met and dreams are realized.
The summer solstice energy is especially illuminating this year and everything is magnified. This is prime time for getting outside, getting recharged in nature and pursuing activities that make us feel electric and alive. This is the time to magnify old tapes, beliefs and patterns that are on loop, shine the light on them, infuse them with the sun's powerful energy to transmute them into more positive and affirming thoughts, deeds and patterns. On this special day, in this special season we may not be ready to think about the coming harvest yet, however, it's worth noting that the seeds we planted during the spring are now in glorious full bloom.

How do you like Neal Carter's apples?
Margaret Wente
Published March 31, 2015 Updated May 12, 2018
A new type of apple is coming to your grocery store some time soon. Unlike other apples, the Arctic, as it's called, doesn't brown when you cut it open. Is this a promising addition to the market? Or is it the most evil fruit since Adam and Eve?
If you are against genetically modified foods, the answer is "evil," of course.
"It's not labelled, it was approved without consulting the public, and so there is a high level of mistrust," Lucy Sharratt, of the Canadian Biotechnology Action Network, told the CBC. "We will have no way of telling whether the apple is fresh or not."
In fact, the Arctic is the most scrutinized apple since the Garden of Eden. It has endured five years of rigorous analysis by four regulatory agencies, including the U.S. Department of Agriculture and Health Canada. "Everybody knows this apple is safe," Neal Carter, the small-time apple grower who created it, told me. Bringing it to market has cost millions. Last month, his risk-taking paid off when a U.S. bioengineering company, Intrexon, acquired his tiny outfit for an impressive amount of money. Now he's working on non-browning versions of Fuji and Golden Delicious.
Mr. Carter came late to farming. He spent nearly three decades working around the world as a bioresource engineer before settling in the Okanagan Valley with his wife. He and his team created the Arctic by using the apple's own DNA to turn off the gene that controls the enzyme responsible for browning when the apple is cut open. (Over time, even these apples will still rot and turn brown as they spoil.)
"This is a great way to expand apple consumption," he says. "It will increase the quality of fresh-cut apples a hundredfold."
Mr. Carter expected some resistance. Back in 1999, a group of anti-GMO activists invaded his small orchard and hacked down a bunch of (conventional) trees. Fortunately, they didn't know what they were doing, and the trees survived. But now his research is conducted at undisclosed sites.
Anti-GMO activists aren't his only critics. Large parts of the fruit industry don't like them apples, either. They say genetic modifications could spook the public and taint the entire industry. The B.C. Fruit Growers Association even asked for a moratorium on the Arctic apple. Image concerns aside, it's clear they don't welcome the competition. The apple-slicing industry (which uses chemicals to keep apples looking fresh) isn't happy either.
"It's definitely frustrating," Mr. Carter says. "The small growers in B.C. want government bailouts. They're not progressive. They'd rather bury their heads in the sand than embrace this as a great opportunity. We really think they should let the consumer decide."
So why not just label his apples "GMO"? After all, shouldn't people have GMO labelling if they want it?
"There is no big demand for labelling," he says, citing surveys that put biotech very far down the list of consumers' food concerns. "The pressure for labelling is coming from the anti-GM crowd and the rest of the industry trying to build market share."
There's also a more fundamental reason. "We don't want to demonize the technology. We don't hide where our apples come from. But if we put a GM label on them, basically we are capitulating. The anti-GM crowd has won."
The editors of Scientific American agree. "Instead of providing people with useful information, mandatory GMO labels would only intensify the misconception that so-called Frankenfoods endanger people's health," they wrote.
In fact, bioengineering increases crop yields, cuts production costs and saves people's lives. Golden Rice (which combats vitamin A deficiency) could save more lives than any crop in history – providing Greenpeace doesn't get its way. The World Health Organization, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the European Union all agree that bioengineered crops are as safe as any other foods.
Bioengineering is essential if we want to feed our increasingly populous planet. And if people want to eat more apples – well, that will be a good thing too. "We want Arctic apples in every store," says Mr. Carter. "We want them sliced, diced and put into a smoothie."
It seems wrong to demonize this guy. Maybe we should give him the Order of Canada instead.

40 Under 40 Spotlight: Mario Cambardella reinvents urban landscaping
April 4, 2022 /by Alyssa Craig
For Mario Cambardella (BLA '06, MEPD '11, MLA '13), connecting his professional purpose to a personal passion to make a difference ultimately set him on a pathway for success. It's why he pursued a variety of service-oriented efforts to reinvigorate urban landscapes before turning his attention to starting an innovative business that relies on technology to better connect Georgia farmers with new markets in the Atlanta area.
For his personal, professional and philanthropic achievements, Mario ranked among UGA's 40 Under 40 Class of 2021. The program celebrates young alumni leading the pack in their industries and communities.
Mario and his wife, Lindsey Cambardella (JD '12).
How did Mario Cambardella find his purpose?
During his time at UGA, Mario connected with Jack Crowley, a professor emeritus in the College of Environment + Design. Mario found that "he understood how to find a solution that achieved true sustainability by balancing economic, social and environmental factors in equal harmony."
After earning his master's degree in landscape architecture in 2013, Mario landed an internship with a prestigious firm based in Colorado. However, many of his assigned projects didn't align with his belief that designed landscapes should have a more holistic function that better supports the people who live near them. That's what ultimately put him on a journey to become the first Urban Agriculture Director in the country.
"The premise is the landscape can be more than beautiful—it can perform, and it can have a function," Mario said.
He would go on to lead the AgLanta initiative, focusing on bringing sustainable landscaping practices to underutilized properties in the Atlanta area. Relying on its Grows-A-Lot program, Mario acquired several vacant properties that had fallen into disrepair in USDA-defined food desert areas and converted them into community gardens. These spaces would help generate healthy food for the surrounding areas, and would be aesthetically pleasing and create a sense of place for the community.
Mario also helped cultivate the country's largest municipal food forest, Urban Food Forest at Browns Mill.
What is ServeScape?
After focusing the first phase of his career on revitalizing urban communities, Mario embraced a new challenge when he founded ServeScape. Its goal is to bolster the green industry's supply chain and enhance its use of technology to better serve customers and empower Georgia's growers. It is Atlanta's largest online-only garden center and wholesale plant nursery, sourcing a variety of Georgia Grown plants from farmers and horticulturists across the state.
ServeScape connects the bounty of growers with wider audiences, expanding their market and boosting revenues, while enabling property owners in urban areas to curate their own sustainable landscapes with native plants.
"We can enable beautiful and resilient landscapes all across the country because we're relying on technology and a simple methodology," Mario noted. "It's bringing forward the idea that the products of every farmer can now get to market. And then when it gets to the market, we can actually make sure that it gets to the right hands."
Mario (left) with his ServeScape team.
How is ServeScape sustainable?
Mario created ServeScape with sustainability in mind. ServeScape elevates locally grown products and locally stationed experts to foster a closer, greener community in the Metro Atlanta area. The company brings together landscape designers, plant experts and professional installers to create a landscape that challenges the norms of retail sellers.
By being a fully online marketplace, ServeScape does not waste resources on large, expensive plant nurseries and instead ships plants directly from the farm to clients' doors. ServeScape's designers also create a customized landscape that can last in each individual environment. Plants are meticulously curated to not only be beautiful, but also functional and resilient, reducing the need for replacements and leading to economic and environmental success.
"Through every job and project, I keep in mind that working in the natural and built environment makes you a student of each project site," Mario said. "I hope I never lose the sense of adventure and excitement of seeing a site for the first time. Losing touch with the land distances yourself from many of the reasons this profession is so unique, engaging and rewarding."
ServeScape is provides landscape design services throughout metro Atlanta and the Athens area, while AgLanta continues to advance its mission of advancing and supporting urban agriculture in the city.
Do you know an outstanding young grad leading the pack in their industry or community? Nominate them for the 2022 Class of 40 Under 40! Nominations close on April 8.

College of Environment and Design announces "Owens 50"
September 18, 2020 /by Laura Nwogu
This article is adapted from a CED announcement originally written by Jennifer Lewis, director of the Center for Community Design and Preservation.
Last year marked 50 years since the establishment of the School of Environmental Design, which became the College of Environment and Design in 2001. As part of the year-long celebration, CED faculty, staff, and alumni honored the most amazing individuals and groups who have shaped the college throughout its history.
From the first landscape architecture classes in 1928 to our beginnings as a college in 1969, the CED has been shaped by and has produced many trailblazers and visionaries. Through their scholarship, teaching, service, and professional practice, these individuals have demonstrated unwavering commitments to advancing the principles of design, planning, and preservation.
A committee of CED faculty, staff, and alumni undertook the difficult task of narrowing down the list of about 100 nominees to the 50 finalists: the Owens 50, named after CED's founding Dean, Hubert Owens.
"These talented individuals brought unparalleled passion, expertise, and commitment to our professions, the college, and the betterment of the world at large," said CED Dean Sonia Hirt. "Through their vision and hard work, they shaped our programs and enhanced the CED's ability to serve students and enrich lives."
In addition to the 50 individuals, the college also honored six institutions that have had an indelible impact on the CED. They range from alumni organizations to highly-regarded professional allies to generous friends and donors.
The winners have been invited to a ceremony, tentatively rescheduled for March 2021, which will allow them to revisit with their colleagues, classmates, and campus. For more information on the honorees, including their contributions to the CED, please visit the CED 50th anniversary website.

Vision and generosity grow for generations
August 17, 2020 /by Megan Powell
Today, we celebrate Dan B. Franklin (BSC '38, BBA '62, BLA '63) and the way his vision and generosity demonstrate how investing in the future can keep your hard-earned money working for generations. A bequest from his estate established the Dan B. Franklin Distinguished Professorship in the College of Environment + Design.
Who was Dan B. Franklin?
Franklin first received a degree in Economics from the University of Georgia in 1938. After a successful career working for the R.C. Cola Company, he returned to the university and, in 1963, earned a Bachelor of Landscape Architecture with a concentration in landscapes and gardens.
A prolific and celebrated garden designer in Atlanta and throughout the Southeast, Franklin received numerous awards during his long career, including the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Georgia Chapter of American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA). He was also inducted as a Fellow with ASLA, the organization's highest honor. In 1991, he received the UGA College of Environment + Design's Distinguished Alumni Medal.
Franklin's love of UGA and for the profession of landscape design led to the creation of a lasting gift. The professorship named in his honor is intended to help a scholar/educator who shares his passion for plant life promote education, research and service excellence in landscape architecture, garden design and horticulture in particular. Meet the current Dan B. Franklin Distinguished Professor, Brad Davis, and learn more about the positive impact Franklin's gift continues to have.
Discover how easy it can be to leave a legacy that counts.

CED alum integral in launching COVID-19 information hub
June 12, 2020 /by Zach Armstrong
Lawrie Jordan (BLA '73) is an alumnus of the College of Environment and Design and current executive at Esri, one of the largest geographic information system companies in the world. Lawrie was integral to the launch of Esri's free-to-use COVID-19 Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Hub, a website with a wealth of resources for anyone to use. We connected with Lawrie to ask him questions about the Hub, his role in developing it, and his time at UGA.
What tools can be found on Esri's COVID-19 GIS Hub? Who are they for?
From the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, Esri surged its Disaster Response Team and worked closely with Johns Hopkins University (JHU) and the World Health Organization (WHO) to stand up a dynamic dashboard showing the global growth of the disease. This cloud-based tool leverages the power of geography and location analytics, with authoritative data from JHU and WHO being updated multiple times a day and successfully sustaining more than 1 billion hits per day worldwide. You can see the COVID-19 GIS Hub in action here.
Building on that foundation, the Hub provides an expansive set of online resources to lend support to communities, organizations, and individuals in need. These tools primarily consist of new maps, apps, informational dashboards, and supporting services that are focused on addressing specific needs associated with COVID-19, including:
Lawrie Jordan (BLA '73)
Vulnerable Populations
Available Hospital Beds
Contact Tracing (under development)
Small Business Recovery
Approaches to Safely Reopening
These are just a few of the tools available, and the full range can be seen at the Esri COVID-19 GIS Hub site.
What is your role in developing and launching the COVID-19 GIS Hub?
I've been fortunate to have worked with all forms of geospatial information for more than 40 years, with emphasis on imagery from satellites, aircraft, and drones. GIS technology provides us with an optimal environment to combine those sources of data with additional social, economic, statistical, health, and other natural resource layers. This enables us to see patterns, changes, and trends that affect us over time in totally new ways, including the multiple impacts of a crisis such as this pandemic.
At Esri we collaborate as a "team of teams," and one of my roles is to provide thought leadership and industry outreach. I work with my colleagues and teammates to raise awareness across the world of new capabilities such as the COVID-19 GIS Hub, and to help inform and connect those in need. Tools such as this give us a new view of current conditions, as well as a new vision of what an improved future can look like.
What is a lesson you learned at UGA that you still carry with you while working at Esri?
One of the most valuable lessons that I learned as a UGA student (and frankly a recipe for overall success in your career and life) is the importance of "bringing your A-game" to everything that you do, and to "play all in, all the time." CE+D's Landscape Architecture course curriculum, the outstanding faculty, and the CED Design Studio environment naturally lends itself to this, and it sets the table for a high-energy pattern of productivity and innovation to thrive.
To follow this "all-in" recipe consistently, however, there's a positive string attached. You have to stay healthy both physically and mentally, which adds two more important ingredients to the mix: regular exercise and a good diet.
And finally, the "secret ingredient" in this recipe is to put others first. Be of service to others and focus on helping them be successful first, rather than yourself. When you do this, you'll find that you will succeed in numerous ways, far surpassing your own expectations. And then everything just gets better.

Sixty million years ago, the Earth reached a turning point, when it was hit by a powerful force that drastically and abruptly altered living conditions on the planet, leading to the extinction of the dinosaurs. Today there are those who consider that human beings collectively constitute an equally powerful force, that has enormous potential for destruction. Are we walking into the abyss?
Elizabeth Hadly (1958, USA) has issued the warning: we are doomed to extinction. Professor of Environmental Biology at Stanford University, Hadly will talk about the terrifying future that awaits mankind unless we drastically change course. We have little more than 20 years to do so. There are signs that allow some optimism, such as advances in health or global growth of the economy. But there are many other signs that are cause for pessimism: scarcity of water and food resources, global population growth, climate change, mass migration. Since each of these problems constitutes a serious threat, their combination could result in a devastating situation. In 2013, Hadly wrote a document with 15 more scientists, subsequently endorsed by thousands of experts, providing scientific evidence of the current serious situation, specifying several measures that must be taken to save the planet. Its goal? To alert the political class that action must be taken now. Obama received the document, and seemed to have taken it into account. But what about Trump?

Q: Scala for comprehension - chaining Future with IndexedSeq Is it possible to achieve something like this:
for {
  numberOfLines <- Future { getNumberOfLines() }
  i <- 0 to numberOfLines
  result <- Future { extractResultFromLine(i) }
} yield result

I hope it is clear what my intentions are.

A: You can use Future.traverse
// Gives you a Future[IndexedSeq[`whatever extractResult returns`]]
for {
    numberOfLines <- Future{getNumberOfLines()}
    result <- Future.traverse(0 to numberOfLines)(i => Future(extractResultFromLine(i)))
} yield result

Tajdeed (Arabic for renewal) is a 45 unit Affordable House project in the South Kensington neighborhood of Philadelphia. A joint venture between an established developer and a local community non-profit, with the goal of creating an affordable family development in a rapidly gentrifying area of the city. The focus on "family" units meant that the majority of apartments would be three or four bedrooms. The additional requirement of double the ADA units required by code led us to conceive of the units as "flats" rather than townhomes. Because of the large number of bedrooms per unit, the design utilized single loaded exterior corridors. This created more efficient apartments, eliminated windowless interior corridors, while also serving as gathering spaces to foster social connections between residents.

Are Princess Eugenie & Ellie Goulding Friends? The Pair Have Been Friends For A While
By Sam Ramsden
Francois Durand/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
The wedding of Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank is sure to attract an array of esteemed guests including the Queen of the United Kingdom, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and of course a few famous faces. One celebrity guest rumoured to be on the guest list is close friend of the bride, and singer Ellie Goulding, are Princess Eugenie and Ellie Goulding friends? Well, it's reported that Eugenie and Goulding have been good pals for quite some time, and are regularly spotted at events and on nights out together.
It is also rumoured, as reported by Elite Daily, that Eugenie introduced the 31 year-old singer to her now fiancé, Caspar Jopling. This conclusion has been made due to Jopling's relation to famous art dealer Jay Jopling, an investor in the online art platform Paddle8 — which just so happens to be the former workplace of the Princess. And this isn't the first time Eugenie has played matchmaker, back in 2012 it was reported that the bride-to-be also introduced Prince Harry to now ex-girlfriend Cressida Bonas.
Goulding and Princess Eugenie's friendship appears to be stronger than ever. Along with their significant others, Brooksbank and Jopling, the pair have been spotted on multiple double dates, reports Harper's Bazaar, and just last year were spotted enjoying a basketball game in New York at Madison Square Garden.

This isn't the only connection Goulding has to the royal family, as the singer has been friendly with various royal family members over the years. The British singer even performed at the reception of Prince William, Duke of Cambridge and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge's wedding back in 2011, as she discussed with the Grammys Recording Academy.
Although Goulding will certainly add some star power to the exclusive guest list, she is far from the only famous name to be in attendance of this special day. The wedding, which is expected to be attended by around 850 guests, will also host senior members of the royal family including Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex and Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, as well as plenty of other A-listers. Singers including James Blunt and current X Factor judge Robbie Williams are also expected to attend, according to the Mirror, with Williams' daughter Theodora also serving as bridesmaid. And it looks like David and Victoria Beckham could be making their royal wedding hat trick, having previously attended the weddings of Prince William and Kate Middleton, and most recently Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's back in May.

Other notable guests rumoured to be attending the spectacular ceremony include actor George Clooney and his wife Amal, supermodel Cindy Crawford and her husband Rande Gerber and Sir Elton John and David Furnish, according to Cosmopolitan. Another potential guest with her own royal connections is Chelsy Davy, who famously dated Prince Harry between 2004 and 2010. This could make for quite the awkward run-in, however it appears Davy and members of the royal family are on good terms, especially having attended the last two royal wedding ceremonies, including that of her ex.
With a line-up of guests this strong, it looks as if this wedding is something not to be missed, and I'd give anything to get on that guest list.

Let's see those Mama necklaces(or bracelets etc.) ❤ Did you go with their names, initials, birthstones?
I really want something like this, Where is the best places to get this done?
So many jewelers make them now. I know Lisa Leonard is a big one. I got mine from Barberry & Lace. I also just ordered one from Made by Mary with Love. So many options - look on Pinterest, I bet they have a lot listed.


Decency. Justice. Truth. Equality. Freedom. Democracy.
These aren't just words: they're the values we, as Americans, cherish. Right now, they're all on the line.
We face the greatest crisis of leadership we've seen in our lifetimes, and powerful voices are filling the void, sowing hate and division among us.
We've witnessed an Administration that aligns itself with dictators and refers to white supremacists as "very fine people." They've torn babies from their mothers' arms and put children in cages.
They've slashed taxes for corporations and the wealthiest among us — placing the burden on the middle class. They've actively fought against efforts to combat climate change. Time and again, they've sabotaged our country's health care. And they've attacked our free and independent press at every turn.
We know America is better than this — but it's on us to build it. We're going to have to fight for it.
I'm ready to take on that fight alongside you. That's why, today, I'm proud to announce that I'm running for President of the United States.
I want to be clear: ours will not be a campaign against our current president. It will be a campaign FOR the very future of our country. FOR the people.
Together, we will fight FOR a country with strong public schools in every zip code. A country where one job is enough to pay the bills. A country with full, universal health care for every single American.
Together, we will fight FOR a country where getting a college education doesn't mean taking on a lifetime of debt. Where middle-class and working families are prioritized with tax breaks, not corporations or the wealthiest 1%. Where every single person can retire with dignity. Where every single person can breathe clean air and drink clean water. Where black women aren't three to four times more likely to die in childbirth than white women. A country where for-profit prison businesses — a billion-dollar industry — are a thing of the past. We're going to fight FOR an America where all our civil rights are respected.
We're going to seek truth and speak truth. That's my promise to you.
Ours is a fight born of optimism — of the promise of what our country can become if we unite behind a common cause. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to earn your vote and — most importantly — your trust.
P.S. Our campaign will not take a dime from corporate PACs who have gamed our political system. Help us build the foundation for a movement that will win in November 2020 and beyond by donating $10 or more today.
