I used three classic quilt blocks for these little beauties. These patterns take advantage of the duplicate prints available in most charm packs. You can do the same or use different fabrics for a scrappier look. Most charm packs feature various prints in a single colorway, making for easy combinations.
The mini quilts finish at 14″ and 14 1/2″.
I used three different fabrics for the borders and bindings. I mixed and matched these fabrics among the three quilts, so that each quilt had a different border and binding fabric, but each fabric was used once as a border fabric and once as a binding fabric for the three quilts. You can comfortably cut two strips by the width of fabric for the border and two strips by the width of fabric for the binding from each of the three fabrics.
These patterns make use of half square triangles (HSTs) several times. To construct a HST, take two squares of equal size. Draw a line diagonally down the back of the lighter square. With right sides together, stitch a scant ¼" away from each side of the line. Cut down the line and press open.
Trim the two 5" matching light gray squares to 3 1/4". Pair with the 3 1/4" squares of background fabric. Make four HSTs. Trim to 2 1/2".
Cut the 2 7/8" squares of background fabric in half diagonally. Sew each triangle to each side of the HST, forming a large right triangle.
Cut each of the two 5" dark gray matching squares in half diagonally.
Sew to the HST unit, forming a square.
Square up to 4 1/2".
Cut the green charm square across horizontally and vertically to form four 2 1/2" squares. Sew each to a 2 1/2" background squares.
Sew one square unit between each triangle unit, positioning as shown in the diagram.
Trim the white charm square to 2 1/2". Sew the other two square units together with the square of white fabric in the center.
Cut two 2 1/2" by WOF strips from the border fabric. Cut each strip in half. Sew a strip to each side of the quilt block, mitering the corners.
Sandwich quilt top, batting, and backing. Quilt as desired. The mini quilt finishes at 14″.
Trim the gray charm squares to 4" then cut in half diagonally.
Trim the green charm squares to 4" then cut in half diagonally.
Cut the 4" background squares in half diagonally.
Pair half of the gray triangles (one of each pattern) with a green triangle—right sides together—and sew together.
Pair the remaining gray triangles with the background triangles and sew together.
Trim yellow squares to 3".
Lay the block out as shown in the diagram. Sew together, row by row. Take care to orient the HSTs correctly.
Take the two matching yellow charm squares, the dark gray charm square, and the white/yellow charm square. Pair a dark gray charm square with a yellow charm square. Pair a white/yellow gray charm square with a yellow charm square.
Draw a line diagonally across the back of the white/yellow squares. With right sides together, stitch 1/4" away from each side of the line. Cut down the line and press open.
Without moving the squares, cut again from the opposite corners. Open the units, pressing towards the yellow. Sew the block so that each hourglass has the two yellow triangles positioned across from each other.
Trim each to 4", taking care to line the center point up at the 2" mark.
Pair the 5″ squares of background fabric with the matching white/yellow charm squares and construct HSTs. Trim each to 4".
Trim yellow charm square to 4".
Using the diagram as a reference, assemble the quilt block.
Sandwich quilt top, batting and backing. Quilt as desired. The mini quilt finishes at 14 1/2″.
These three mini quilts finish at 14″, 14″, and 14 1/2″.
There are many options for quilting these fun little projects! I quilted each one a little differently. On one I did a cross hatch design, on one stippling, and on one I echoed the shapes with my quilting. Mini quilts are great opportunities to try a new quilting technique or do something a little outside your usual quilting style. Happy sewing!

Love this pattern. What a good way to use the single charm packs (and mini charm packs) in my stash. I think rather than making these as three mini quilts, I will combine them and make a long table runner.
I think that will look lovely! Just note that the third pattern, the barn star, finishes slightly bigger than the other two (14 1/2″ rather than 14″). You can easily make it work for a table runner by making the border a bit smaller (just a 1/4″ off on each side). Happy quilting, and thank you for your comment!
Such adorable mini quilts! You have combined the prints in an interesting and pleasing arrangement. The variety of your fabric selections is cleverly mixed, and they coordinate beautifully together. I especially appreciate that I will be able to use one favorite charm pack to complete a trio of charming minis. Can't wait to begin planning my own. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for your thoughtful comment! I'm always thinking about ways to use single charm packs. I think a lot of us buy first and plan later–those darling charm packs are so hard to resist!
Thank you, Monica! I'd love to make an actual barn quilt someday, too.
Thank you! It was a fun project to stitch up.
These would make perfect trivets using insulbrite in place of batting to coordinate a charm pack w our kitchens. Thank you.
Thank you! And I love that they are a fast finish!
It seems that these mini barn quilts can possibly be used as the standard 12.5″ quilt blocks by trimming the blocks down to the standard 12.5 size or adjusting the outside border strips bit when assembling the the blocks. Or slightly oversized potholders if the outside borders left off of them completely. Or square mug rugs also if the outside borders left off of them.
There are so many possibilities! Hope you have fun experimenting with these ideas!
Thank you so much, this is so cute!
You are very welcome! I had fun making them.
Thank you–Pepper and Flax is a great line! I don't know of any kits available, but it should be pretty easy to assemble the fabrics needed. It's one charm pack, 1/4 yard of three different Bella solids–white (9900-98), gray (9900-170), and yellow (9900-81)–for the background (you can probably use scraps for the second and third as they don't require for much), and 1/3 yard of three different fabrics from the line for the border and binding. I used 29047 17 for the green, 29046 13 for the gray, and 29041 15 for the yellow. I also used one yard cut in quarters for the backing (you could also get three fat quarters). Happy sewing!
Love all 3! But Duck & Duckling reminds me of my all time favorite traditional block–the Churn Dash. Thank you for the tutorials!
Churn Dash is one of my favorites, too! Such a versatile block. Thanks for commenting, and happy sewing!

Ein Zentangle (Aussprache ['zɛn-tæŋgl] oder [t͡sɛntaŋl], von Zen bzw. Zen-Meditation und engl. tangle: Knäuel, Gewirr, Durcheinander) ist eine freie Zeichnung, die aus Formen mit immer wiederkehrenden Mustern aus einer Kombination von Punkten, Linien, einfachen Kurven und Kreisen strukturiert ist.

Charakteristisch ist, dass das entstehende Zentangle-Bild von allen Seiten gleichermaßen betrachtet werden kann und die gezeichneten Formen in der Regel kein gegenständliches Objekt ergeben. Die Zeichnungen werden auf einem besonderen Papier angefertigt, dem nur etwa 9×9 cm großen Zentangle-"Tile" (engl. [taɪl]: Fliese, Kachel). Das Zeichnen auf dem Zentangle-Tile wird auch eingedeutscht als tanglen bezeichnet. Alles, was vom Format der kleinen Papierkacheln abweicht oder in Farbe gestaltet wird, ist ZIA = zentangle inspired art, also von Zentangle inspirierte Kunst.

Der meditative Vorgang des Zeichnens ist vorrangig und folgt einer eigenen Philosophie. Das Zeichnen ist absichtslos und es gibt keine konkreten Vorstellungen von einem bestimmten Ergebnis. Vielmehr wird der Intuition gestattet, sich zu entfalten. Erfunden wurde Zentangle in den USA von dem ehemaligen Mönch Rick Roberts und der Künstlerin Maria Thomas, die damit eine Kombination aus Meditation und Kunst erschaffen haben.

First Harrison Gray Otis House (Peter Vanderwarker or Antonina Smith)

The first of three houses that Charles Bulfinch designed within ten years for Harrison Gray Otis, a prominent lawyer and member of Congress, the house has served as the headquarters of Historic New England, Inc. (originally the Society for the Preservation of New England Antiquities) since 1916. A meticulously researched and restored house museum, the building retains many features of the elegant Federal-style architecture preferred by Boston's elite in the opening years of the Republic. The vibrantly colored interiors include one of the earliest second-floor drawing rooms in the area. A crisp brick box punctuated with stone band courses and lintels, the First Harrison Gray Otis House is one of the few freestanding late-eighteenth-century houses remaining in Boston and one of few buildings on the north side of Cambridge Street that escaped demolition when the West End was razed in 1958.

» Pokemon » Heart Gold & Soul Silver » Sixtails's Pokeathlon Guide!
For those of you who are just starting or have not played the Pokeathlon before, the Pokeathlon is a series of olympic-style mini games found west of the National Park, north of Goldenrod City. There are five categories in which to compete, which correspond to the five pokeathlon stats a pokemon, Speed, Power, Skill, Stamina, and Jump. For each category, there is a course consisting of three minigames. Many of these minigames can be found on multiple courses, while others are specific to just one course. As for the pokemon themselves, you use three pokemon for each course and you may use two or three of the same pokemon if you choose.
Legendary pokemon generally have higher pokeathlon stats than normal pokemon, so I did not include them when considering which pokemon to use, since they are obvious choices and I personally believe that it would be too easy to use them.
Anything with 5 stars in speed works here. Having higher jump can make it a bit easier, but it still isn't very tough with low jump pokemon. I actually prefer using pokemon with only 3 stars in jump, as better jumping pokemon won't land fast enough for some hurdles. The trick with this event is to jump right before you reach the hurdles. This gives you a speed boost. There are two levels of speed boosts you can get, blue and yellow, blue being first and yellow being second as well as the fastest you can go. Once you master this, the hurdle dash is easy.
The Pennant Capture can be a challenge. Avoid collisions as much as you can, even when you can steal flags from you opponents, the time it takes to do so is usually not worth it. The easiest courses are the ones with nothing blocking you from the edges, so you can make on loop around, collecting 8 or 9 flags in a matter of seconds.
Jolteon- 4 stars in speed and skill.
Clefairy- 4 stars in speed, 3 stars in skill.
Ledbya- 4 stars in speed, 3 stars in skill.
Although it initially seems that power is the most important stat here, speed is essential to break Record 2. Weavile, Infernape, and Huntail are three pokemon with good enough stats in speed and power to win.
Here you need pokemon with 5 stars in power, skill, and stamina.
The following pokemon are the best I've found for this event.
You will most likely need to make aprijuices for this event and get the above pokemon with good natures. I'm not going to bother with making a recipe, since it would depend on the nature.
Anything with high jump stat should work here, just be aggressive when going for discs. The more discs your opponents get, the less you can get.
Remember, the points increase on each lamp you hit as you hit more lamps in one jump. Try to make your jumps hit as many lamps as possible before you land.
Anything with decent stamina and 5 stars in speed should do fine. On your first lap, find out the arrangement of the obstacles and find a path that avoids them.
Anything with good stamina and power are good here.
Personally, I found it easiest to throw all the snowballs at the group to your left. They are the closest and therefore easiest targets to hit without someone else hitting your snowball in air. Although it says power is needed in the description, knocking your opponents out is not the goal of this game. Instead, you just need to throw your snowballs as fast as you can to reach 55 hits in the allotted time. Any pokemon with 5 stars in skill should work fine. Without aprijuice or natures, Smeargle, Hitmontop, Gardevoir, and Meditite are just a few examples of pokemon with 5 stars in skill, but aprijuices make everything easier. To save apricorns, I suggest just buying the pre-made aprijuices at the stand next to the dome.
Have one pokemon stay behind to defend the goal as the other two take the offensive. Other than that, just use any well rounded pokemon in terms of stats, since power, speed, stamina, and skill are all used. You can switch off the goalie if you have a nearby pokemon running out of stamina.
Natures do affect pokeathlon stats.
Apricorns can be used to make Aprijuice, which increases a pokemon's pokeathlon stats. To make Aprijuice, you must obtain the Apriblender, which can be found west of the Pokeathlon Dome at the Aprijuice stand. Five Apricorns can be put into the Apriblender at one once, and more can be added once it is mixed. To mix the Aprijuice, walk 100 steps. No more than two stats can be increased with an Aprijuice. One Aprijuice can be used three times. You can also purchase pre-made Aprijuices at the Aprijuice stand where you got the Apriblender from, which can be useful if you dont need a strong Aprijuice and want to save Apricorns for when you do need them. Putting a pokemon in the PC eliminates the effect of an Aprijuice. Sometimes an Aprijuice will increase one stat but decrease another. Mildness reduces the chance of this happening. To increase mildness, you can walk (every 100 steps is one mildness level), or wait, since the mildness also increases if a day goes by. Flavor determines how much your pokemon's stats will be affected by the Aprijuice. The stronger the flavor, the more stars will increase.
As you might have noticed, I added a few recipes for Aprijuices on the more difficult minigames, but feel free to experiment.


Oprah Gets Defensive About 'Leaving Neverland' Criticism, "I Have Not Wavered"
Oprah has always been a well respected and loved member of the black community. But her support of two men accusing the late singer Michael Jackson of child abuse has caused her severe backlash.
In a new interview with Trevor Noah, Oprah doubled down on her support for HBO's documentary series Leaving Neverland.
The four-hour docu-series featured two men, Wade Robson and James Safechuck, accusing Jackson of sexually abusing them as children. Winfrey's involvement and belief in the two men sparked intense backlash online from fans of Jackson and his estate.
Noah then asked whether Oprah had ever wavered in her belief in Safechuck and Robson.

960 A. From Dr. Hodgson's Report in Proceedings S.P.R., vol. xiii.
PP- 335~6.
I pass on now to consider briefly the results obtained from some other
communicators, and begin with the case of the lady whom I have called
Madame Elisa Manners. Other names are substituted for the real ones.
She was known to G. P., and her first appearance was to her sister,
Madame Frederica, on May I7th, 1892 (Report, p. 471). She had died the
previous summer. The cause of her death was designated by Phinuit, who
also described correctly, purporting to repeat what she was telling him, some
incidents which had occurred at her death-bed. The sitter inquired about
a watch which had belonged to Madame Elisa, but the statements made
at this sitting, and to myself at subsequent sittings, did not lead to its recovery.
Some Italian was written by request, the lady being as familiar with Italian
as with English, but only two or three common words were decipherable.
The first names of sitter and communicator were given, and the last name was
both written and afterwards given by G. P. to Phinuit. Some of the writing
was of a personal character, and some about the watch, and G. P. stated
correctly, inter alia, that the sitter's mother was present (in " spirit ") with the
communicator, and that he himself did not know her. The real names are
very uncommon. The Italian for " It is well. Patience," was whispered at the
end of the sitting as though by direct control of the voice by Madame Elisa.
Both the sitter and her sister were well known to me, and also to the Howards,
and Madame Elisa made several personal communications in the course of the
sittings recorded in Appendix I. (see Report, pp. 417-19, 423), where further
attempts, only partially successful, were made to write Italian clearly, and also
to speak it, but not much was said.
She communicated by writing later to three or four other friends or rela-
tives, always in a strongly personal way, and very clearly. In her statements
to one very personal friend, at sittings when I was present, she showed on
several occasions an intimate private knowledge of her sister and her sister's
family in connection with events that were occurring, and also of other relatives
to whom she was deeply attached. She also had several " written talks " with
myself alone, referred to incidents with which we were both familiar when
962 A] TO CHAPTER IX 621
guests at the same house in another part of the country, and appreciated
properly other references which I made myself. It always seemed like the
woman I knew.
As I have mentioned elsewhere (Report, pp. 293, 332), the intelligence
communicating by writing is not conscious of the act of writing. The chief
difficulty apparently in getting another language written by the hand is that
strange words tend to be written phonetically unless they are thought out
slowly letter by letter. The writing is usually much more legible now than
it was during the period of the records from which I am quoting, when there
was frequently much difficulty in deciphering even the simplest English
words. It was therefore not surprising that so little of the " Italian" written
by Madame Elisa was decipherable.
pp. 384-5.
There are various references in the records given in Appendix IV. to the
twin children of Dr. and Mrs. A. B. Thaw. One of these, Margaret, died a
year before their first sitting at the age of six months, and the other, Ruthie,
died three months before their first sitting at the age of fifteen months. The
communications concerning these children were given almost entirely by
Phinuit, who had, however, some difficulty with the names. At the first sitting
several attempts were made before the name Margaret was given clearly.
Trouble with teeth was mentioned in connection with the children, apparently
as the first impression on the appearance of Margaret, but not actually specified
as Margaret's. Margaret was teething when she died. Phinuit also said that
one of the children wanted baby's beads. Margaret used to play with a neck-
lace of beads belonging to her older sister living. And referring to Margaret,
Phinuit said that she had some flowers in her hand, that " she liked them and
took them with her." Mrs. Thaw had placed three little flowers in Margaret's
hand after her death. Phinuit got much more in connection with Kuthie,
whose first appearance seemed to be accompanied by a recurrence of associa-
tions connected with the trouble that caused her death, dysentery and sore
throat. Phinuit indicated the locality and the distress, and Ruthie's dislike of
" the powder." Bismuth was given through the entire illness of two weeks and
was always given with trouble. Phinuit spoke of Ruthie as having light golden
hair, afterwards adding curly; correct but called her a boy. The living
Ruthie was very generally mistaken for a boy, but not, of course, by the Thaws.
Yet Phinuit had much difficulty in getting the name, and failed to get nearer
than Ethie, and the sitters told him it began with R. Phinuit said that
she had not learned to talk, but later on he got the name Ruth-ie correctly.
He remarked that she only said papa and mamma. Other words that the
living Ruthie said were given in later sittings. Phinuit described her as
wanting to see the stars. For two or three months before her death Ruthie
was fond of pointing at the stars through the window. At the beginning
of the sitting Phinuit said she put her hand on Dr. Thaw's head, and
afterwards described her as wanting to pat his face, actions which were
characteristic of the living Ruthie towards Dr. Thaw. Similarly she wanted
to hear the tick tick (watch) in connection with her uncle Aleck, and
was he who chiefly used to hold the watch for her to hear it. And another
characteristic action was reproduced in connection with Mr. Melvin W. ;
622 APPENDICES [963 A
Phinuit said she wanted him to wave the hand in a certain way to Mr.
W., and the living Ruthie waved her hand in that way to Mr. W., and
to him only. Reference was also made to her picture, and Mrs. Thaw was
painting a picture of Ruthie when she was taken ill. In later sittings Phinuit
described her as saying other words, baby, pretty, Bettie, and pussie, with the
accent used by Ruthie when living. These were the only words besides the
papa and mamma mentioned before, used by Ruthie when living. The first
time Mrs. Thaw wore fur at a sitting, the hand stroked it, and Phinuit whispered
" pussie " as Ruthie living used to do. But Ruthie had whispered " pussie " at
a previous sitting. Two or three times there seemed to be a direct control of
the voice by Ruthie who took the place of Phinuit (Report, pp. 564, 576, 578).
The first time she whispered pttee and pssee (pretty and pussie) and the second
t\m&pttee only, the words being many times repeated. This second occasion
was connected with rather a striking incident. Mrs. Piper was visiting the
Thaws in New York, and they took her up the river Hudson to their country
house and had a sitting on the afternoon of the day of their arrival. I was
taking notes, sitting slightly to one side and partly behind Mrs. Piper, while Dr.
and Mrs. Thaw were sitting in front of her, with their heads somewhat bowed.
Phinuit apparently " left " and his place was taken by Ruthie, who began
whispering pttee pttee. The hand rose and turned somewhat diagonally and
extended the forefinger and pointed towards a picture on the far side of the
room. The Thaws did not see this action until I drew their attention to it,
when they looked up, and followed the direction of the pointing. The hand
then trembled and sank. Dr. Thaw noted : " During the last month of
Ruthie's life it was a regular morning custom to bring her to the room in
which this sitting was held our bedroom and she would always point, as
hand did in sitting, with one finger (unusual with a baby) and say ' pt-tee,
pt-tee,' just as in sitting. This little incident had not been in either sitter's
conscious mind since baby's death six months before. Mrs. Piper had never
been in that room until the actual time of sitting. Many other pictures in the
room, two of which Mrs. Piper's hand could have pointed at more easily
than the particular one always noticed by the baby."
963 A. I now cite a few instances of prophecies given through Mrs.
Piper.
(a) The following account is from Miss W.'s report (made from con-
temporary notes) of sittings with Mrs. Piper, Proceedings S.P.R., vol. viii.
P- 34-
In the spring of 1888, an acquaintance, S., was suffering torturing disease.
There was no hope of relief, and only distant prospect of release. A consulta-
tion of physicians predicted continued physical suffering and probably mental
decay, continuing perhaps through a series of years. S.'s daughter, worn with
anxiety and care, was in danger of breaking in health. " How can I get her
away for a little rest?" I asked Dr. Phinuit, May 24, 1888. " She will not
leave her father," was his reply, " but his suffering is not for long. The doctors
are wrong about that. There will be a change soon, and he will pass out of the
body before the summer is over." His death occurred in June 1888.

(b) The next incident is from Mr. " M. N.'s " account of Mrs. Piper in
%3A] TO CHAPTER IX 623
Proceedings S.P.R., vol. viii. p. 120, which was corroborated by Mrs.
"M. N."
April & [1889.].
. . . About end March of last year I made her a visit (having been in the
habit of doing so, since early in February, about once a fortnight). She told
me that a death of a near relative of mine would occur in about six weeks,
from which I should realise some pecuniary advantages. I naturally thought
of my father, who was advanced in years, and whose description Mrs. Piper
had given me very accurately some week or two previously. She had not
spoken of him as my father, but merely as a person nearly connected with
me. I asked her at that sitting whether this person was the one who would
die, but she declined to state anything more clearly to me. My wife, to whom
I was then engaged, went to see Mrs. Piper a few days afterwards, and she
told her (my wife) that my father would die in a few weeks.
About the middle of May my father died very suddenly in London from
heart failure, when he was recovering from a very slight attack of bronchitis,
and the very day that his doctor had pronounced him out of danger. Previous
to this Mrs. Piper (as Dr. Phinuit) had told me that she would endeavour to
influence my father about certain matters connected with his will before he
died. Two days after I received the cable announcing his death my wife and
I went to see Mrs. Piper, and she [Phinuit] spoke of his presence, and hi*
sudden arrival in the spirit-world, and said that he (Dr. Phinuit) had en-
deavoured to persuade him in those matters while my father was sick. Dr.
Phinuit told me the state of the will, and described the principal executor, and
said that he (the executor) would make a certain disposition in my favour,
subject to the consent of the two other executors, when I got to London,
England. Three weeks afterwards I arrived in London; found the principal
executor to be the man Dr. Phinuit had described. The will went materially
as he had stated. The disposition was made in my favour, and my sister, who
was chiefly at my father's bedside the last three days of his life, told me that
he had repeatedly complained of the presence of an old man at the foot of
his bed, who annoyed him by discussing his private affairs. . . .
["M. N. M ]
(<r) See Proceedings S.P.R., vol. xiii. pp. 447-449-
At a sitting with Mrs. Piper on March 7, 1892, the death of her uncle
David was foretold to Miss Macleod. Her contemporary note of the
statement was : " David will die soon."
She wrote on March 27, 1893 :
" My uncle David, whose death Mrs. Piper predicted at the sitting
which I had with her on March 7, 1892, died at Chicago on last Tuesday,
the 2ist of March. As far as I know, his health was perfectly good at
the time of the sitting."
(</) From Dr. Hodgson's account of the sittings of Dr. A. B. Thaw wit!
Mrs. Piper, Proceedings S.P.R., vol. xiii. p. 352.
Several minor prophecies proved correct ; one important prophecy concern-
ing the success of certain machines was wrong as to rime, as well as
circumstances connected with them ; but another concermng ti
brother, who was never present at a sitting, was right. Tins b
chronic invalid with asthma. At the sitting of May loth, 1892, Phinuit said
that his kidneys were out of order, and it was discovered for the first time that
he had kidney disease on a careful medical examination made two weeks later.
At the same sitting Phinuit said that he would die " within six months or a
year," and, in reply to the question how, said, " He's going to sleep, and when
he wakes he'll be in the spirit. Heart will stop." On May 22nd, the time was
given as " six months or a little less." He died in sleep, of heart failure, on the
3rd of the following September.
980 A. I cited in 858 A a case, communicated by Dr. Ermacora,
of Padua, of foreknowledge of a letter's arrival on the part of a sensitive
well known to him, Signorina Maria Manzini, the knowledge purporting
to come from her control, "Elvira." An article by Dr. Ermacora in
Proceedings S.P.R., vol. xi. p. 235, records a long series of observations
made by him with the same sensitive, and two other precognitive cases of
hers of which I quote one below are given in vol. xi. pp. 466-476.
Dr. Ermacora was not able to decide whether "Elvira" is a separate
entity, or merely a modification of the medium's own mind. There is,
in fact, much the same perplexity as in the case of Phinuit and Mrs.
Whatever Elvira may be, she possesses certain supernormal powers
which for us are perhaps the more instructive in that their scope is some-
what narrowly limited. Among these powers Elvira claims precognition ;
admittedly on what may be termed a puny scale, and dealing with trivial
matters, but nevertheless involving some real knowledge of the coming
course of events, and of the part which human actions, apparently free,
will play therein. The question now before us is whether Elvira's ap-
parent foreknowledge may not be explained as inference from a slightly
wider knowledge of the present, combined with a power of suggestion
exercised not only upon Maria Manzini herself (which on any hypothesis
is obviously probable), but even upon strangers. 1 Dr. Ermacora, as may
be seen from his full report, kept these points in mind ; and his con-
clusion was that Elvira had shown some foreknowledge of events, paltry
indeed in themselves, but yet such as suggestion can hardly be pressed
to cover. (See the incident of sale of pawn-tickets, and others, in Rivista
di Studi Psichici, 1895.) The question will then be, and these trivial
incidents may help us quite as well as more important ones towards
its solution, whether that supernormal knowledge of actually existing
thoughts and things with which Elvira must at any rate be credited (see
858 A) may be enough to suggest by mere forward-looking inference,
itself perhaps supernormally acute, the events foretold in the following
and some similar cases.
1 Dr. Ermacora once informed me that Elvira had made a prediction involving a
mistake to be made by Maria in cutting out some garments, and then withdrew it, as
not wishing that Maria should thus waste the stuff, and resolving to influence her not to
make the mistake. Elvira herself, therefore, admits that she can influence the so-called
predictions by suggestions of her own.
980A] TO CHAPTER IX 625
Dr. Ermacora writes :
Signorina Maria Manzini, at my request, kept an account of the dreams
which occurred in her ordinary sleep. Some were remembered spontaneously
in the morning and some in her next somnambulic state. In the latter case I
suggested to her that she should remember and record them after waking.
I think the following case was remembered in somnambulism, but this is
of no consequence, because Signorina Maria, following my advice, recorded not
only the date of dreams, but also the date and the hour when she wrote
them down. In any case the present dream was recorded before its fulfil-
This is what I find in the record of Signorina Maria's dreams :
March rjth, 1804, II P.M.
" Night of March 26th-27th, 1894.
" I dreamt that the door bell rang on the S. Pietro side of the house. 1 I
went to open and found a tall man about forty years old, with greyish
trousers and a darker overcoat He was very polite, and asked if I would
subscribe to the issue of a novel, saying that afterwards I should have a
pair of earrings as a prize. I said no, because I thought it was an impos-
ture."
I did not read the account of this dream till after its realisation, but am
perfectly certain that Signorina Maria told it to me directly, and I also distinctly
recollect that when Signorina Maria related the realisation a few days later, she
said I ought to remember her preceding dream ; and I remember also that I
not only recalled it, but that I looked at once at the record to see if it had been
written down according to rule. I found that it was correct, and that it agreed
with the viva voce story. Besides, though Signorina Maria may not always be
diligent in recording dreams she hardly remembers, she is very careful to put
the exact date, and is therefore quite certain that the dream occurred either in
the night of March a6th-27th, or at most (supposing the case to have been
complicated by a paramnesia which displaced the dream in time) on March
27th, at 9 P.M. ; about which time, as can be seen from my journal of the
somnambulic experiments, Signorina Maria was in somnambulism in my
presence.
On the evening of March 3ist, i.e. four days after the dream, Signorina M.
told me that on that day about 3 P.M. the visit of which she had dreamed had
taken place. Everything coincided; the entrance of the person by the door
towards S. Pietro, his age, his insinuating manners, the colour of his trousers
and overcoat, and the object of his visit.
I called her mother, and asked her to describe the visit with all possible
details; meanwhile I took the following notes: " The person came twice; the
first time about n A.M., when Maria was out. Signora Annetta (her mother)
was alone in the house. The visitor had very pleasant manners, and was about
thirty-five years old (Signorina Maria thought forty). He had a box covered
with black cloth with him, such as is used by commercial travellers,
he came to show them a novelty. In order to get rid of him, Signora Annetta
said that Signorina Maria was 'not at home; he replied that he would return,
i Signorina Maria's house has two doors, one in the Via S. Pietro, and the other
turned towards the river Bacchiglione.
and Signora Annetta told him to come at 2 P.M. At 2 P.M. he returned and
rang at the door on the S. Pietro side. Signora Annetta opened to him, and
says that when he entered the room Maria seemed much astonished (Maria
said at once that she was astonished at recognising him). He proposed that
they should subscribe to the issue of a novel ; there were to be prizes when the
issue was finished ; two pictures, or a small organ, or a pair of earrings. In
his box were the organ and an alarum, as samples, and he had with him, but
not in the box, samples of the earrings, of the frames, and two oleographs
between pasteboards.
Luigia Monti and Linda Bigoni were also present. Maria refused the
offers. When they and the man were gone, Maria remarked with surprise
that she had already dreamt of the scene with all its details, i.e. as far as the
man was concerned. Signora Annetta added that from girlhood she also had
frequently dreamed of coming events.
March 31 j/, 1894,9.30 P.M. (written in the presence of Annetta and Maria).
It was necessary to prove two things, before the case could be supposed to be
evidential. First, that the visit was real, and not an odd hallucination of the
senses or memory, and secondly, that the man had not made the tour of Padua
offering his merchandise, many days before the dream ; in which case Signorina
Maria might have become aware of it in some way or other, and thus have
originated the dream herself.
In order to clear up the first point, I went on the following day (April ist,
about 6.30) to see Signorina Linda Bigoni, and asked her to tell me all about
the visit at which she had been present. She replied that she had gone to see
Maria the day before, about 2.30, while the man was there, and she confirmed
all the details about the object of his visit, his remarks, the things he had with
him, his politeness, his age, and the colour of his clothes. He had made the
same proposition to her as to Maria. As she had arrived after him, she could
not say by which door he had entered ; but she said he had left before her, and
had gone out by the kitchen door, towards the river. On being questioned,
she replied that she had not seen Signorina Maria since the visit. Before leaving
her, I requested her, if the man should come to her house, or if she should
meet him in the street, to ask him on what day he had come to Padua; which
she promised to do.
The same evening I went back to Signorina Maria, and before telling her
of my talk with Signorina Linda, I questioned her and her mother again.
Signorina Maria said she did not remember by which door the man had
gone out, or rather, she had paid no attention ; but her mother said she was
certain that he had gone out by the kitchen door, because he had seen some
one enter that way, and on leaving had said that as there was a door there
also he would go out by it. The mother did not know, however, whether he
or Signorina Linda B. had left first, but Signorina Maria was sure he had
gone away first, because afterwards she had continued her conversation with
Signorina Linda about their own affairs, and this conversation, begun before
he left, had prevented her noticing by which door he quitted the house.
Both then said they remembered Signorina Linda B.'s coming at about
2.30 while the man was there, and that he had come before 2 and stayed nearly
an hour.
Thus all the testimony is in accordance, and no doubt remains that the
event with all its details really happened.
On the evening of April i8th, Signorina Maria told me that her friend,
Signorina Linda B., had something to tell me, but in order to keep her promise
she would tell it only to me. Signorina Maria said that Linda B. was coming
to see her on the morrow, when I could meet her.
The following day (April iQth) I went to see Signorina Maria at the time
fixed, and found Linda B. at the house. The latter told me she had met the
man in the street; that he had recognised her and had renewed his offer. She
took advantage of this to ask him when he had arrived in Padua, and he said
he had come on March 2pth, and that he had not visited Padua before for
several years.
This proves that the dream occurred two days before the arrival of the
person implicated, and that consequently it could not have resulted from a
mere sensorial impression of Signorina Maria's.
Of such a type as this gradually evolved, slightly inexact, and
altogether trivial are all the predictions given through Elvira. I do
not think, however, that their triviality affords in itself any clear in-
dication as to their origin. They are the attempts of an intelligence
which, whether embodied or unembodied, is not much above a child's
level, to prove a fact of the highest importance namely, the possibility
of foreseeing future events. In comparison with the value of the result
thus aimed at, the actual incidents by which it may be attained matter
little. It is of greater interest to have a pedlar's visit foretold, if only
that visit could not have been foreseen by any ordinary intelligence, than
to have, say, a death foretold, if we suspect that that more impressive
prophecy may have helped to work its own fulfilment.

A group of authors signed a contract with a publishing house on publishing a textbook on physics. The publishing house carried out significant work on the preparation of the textbook for publication and paid the authors 60% of the remuneration. However, due to lack of funds, the publication of the textbook was transferred to another private publisher. The authors found that the manuscript of the second publisher was lost.
When the manuscript was finally found, it turned out that the chapter written by the deceased author was replaced by a chapter prepared by another person without the consent of the heirs of the deceased and the team of authors of the textbook.
The authors are interested in: whether the publishing house had the right, without their consent, to transfer the publication of the textbook to another publishing house; to whom and what requirements they could make in connection with the loss of the manuscript; How should we evaluate the replacement of a chapter written by a deceased head of another author?

Pursuant to several federal and state laws, various types of conduct that were once condoned in the workplace are no longer acceptable. Behaviors that were once common may now expose employers, including local governments, to significant liability.
Consequently, administrators, human resources professionals, managers and supervisors can no longer afford to make employment-related decisions without first considering the legal ramifications of their actions. Failure to do so could result in a lawsuit and expose a local government to significant liability, including damages awards and attorney's fees.
The LGIT Employment Law Hotline helps employers resolve a wide range of employment issues that could potentially result in costly litigation.
The Employment Law Hotline is available at no charge to LGIT members of the Primary Liability Pool. It provides members with direct access to a licensed Maryland attorney at Karpinski, Colaresi, and Karp P.A., during normal business hours, who will answer legal questions and help resolve specific issues and situations that arise in the workplace. These attorneys can provide up to 30 minutes of free legal advice for each employment issue.
In the unfortunate event that a member finds itself involved in litigation based upon an employment decision, they should be in a better position to defend itself if they used the Employment Law Hotline before making an employment decision.
Please note: Calls to the Employment Law Hotline must be made by your organization's designated LGIT contract. Please contact LGIT if you do not know whom that person is. Consulting the Employment Law Hotline does not fulfill the member's obligation to report claims otherwise required by LGIT.

Whenever Scrooge is dealing with a rival millionaire in the italian comics, it is usually Rockerduck. But the comics from USA and other european countries prefer using Glomgold whenever a story needs an evil millionaire. Is there a reason for this?

Timing? The first Italian story with Rockerduck is from 1963, and the Barks story appeared there in 1962. Glomgold's latest appearance in Italy was in 1961. Could it be that the Italian writer just needed a rival and chose the most recent Barks character? The first Italian Glomgold story is from 1967, following the first Italian publication of So Far No Safari in 1966. Just a guess.

From what I know, the myth of "comics from the USA prefer Glomgold" is actually kind of a projecting of modern standards to the past. Apparently the US-made comics in the 60s and 70s did just use Rockerduck a lot more, which would then influence Italy and Brazil. Only with Rosa onwards did it shift back to Glomgold, probably with a tinge of Ducktales influence.

The USA S-coded stories absolutely used Rockerduck more—starting in 1964, with more than a dozen stories before the decade was out. Only two Italian stories beat the first S-coded Rockerduck into production, and that first S-code was drawn in Italy, suggesting some back-and-forth communication.
But Glomgold's return didn't actually start with Rosa. Both Egmont and the Dutch were using him extensively in the 1970s and 80s in a deliberate attempt to recapture the Barks style, spearheaded by Lars Bergström and Stefan Printz-Påhlson at Egmont. As I was told in the late 1990s, the fact that Barks used him several times and fleshed him out extensively made him seem more appealing than Rockerduck, who while created by Barks got most of his development from non-Barks talents.

Who was the actual creator that popularized Rockerduck as a reoccurring fixture of the Duckburg cast?
Feb 28, 2019 7:08:37 GMT Dr Ivo G Bombastus said:
Not sure. In the years after Barks introduced him, there were many different writes who wrote stories about him. The most recurring artist associated with Rockerduck stories in the 60s and 70s I think is Romano Scarpa, but I don't know if he gave the writers any input on what characters to use.

I suspect that many of the Martina stories were Duck Avenger stories (where Rockerduck is almost the villain by default, at least when is not Scrooge or Duck Avenger himself), but probably Rockerduck was already an established character before that.

We discussed this in another thread once. In the early 60's Italian artists were also drawing stories by American writers (the Studio program that produced stories to be published outside of the US), and there was maybe a mutual influence between the two sides. We do not know who started first, but at a certain point both the Barosso brothers in Italy and Kinney in the US started to use him as the canonical business rival of Scrooge. Whoever was to first to come up with the idea, the fact that on both sides of the ocean Rockerduck was used may have strengthened his position as a cast member. According to the inducks, the first non-Barks story featuring Rockerduck to be published was written by the Barosso's, but one by Kinney was published some months later, and it may be written before. The Barosso's and Kinney may have also come up with the idea of using him independently, both just following the recent Barks story. In later years Martina used and overused him, which also contributed a lot to make him a main character in the Italian comics.
In general there was never any reason for Rockerduck or Glomgold to become recurrent villains. They both appeared in one story by Barks, intended as one time characters. So the inverse question is also interesting historically: why Egmont artists use Glomgold and not Rockerduck (or any other Barks villain)? Who started to use Glomgold in the 70's in Denmark? Is he also used in the Dutch comics since the 70's? Or was it popularised only later by Rosa?

Didn't Ramapith answer your last paragraph's questions above?
Then we see things from a more objective point of view, Glomgold after being used only three times by Barks appears four times in Italian stories and a Brazilian story until 1979, since then he starts on Danish stories regularly.
This until the mid-eighties when other countries (such as the Netherlands) start using it sporadically. Glomgold seems very different from Rockerduck because it reflects the changes in the world's 80s cartoon becoming a more "grim" version of Scrooge, where Rockerduck was basically a parody of Rockefeller, someone who could aspire to resemble despite being taken up negative, but between him and Scrooge it was always difficult to decide who of the two was the real villain because they played the same way, even if Scrooge more stingy. Glomgold, which was previously seen as a photocopy of Scrooge in the Danish stories begins prove to be more unscrupulous than the other billionaires overcoming limits that others did not exceed, became the bad man par excellence because he had no morals.
However, it was towards the end of the 80s that it began to appear in stories all over the world under the banner of the Ducktales series.
However, it is an ephemeral success and from the end of the 90s it returns to be present almost exclusively in Danish stories. In the 21st century, Holland and Italy are the only other nations producing some more Glomgold stories, in fact, looking at the statistics on the character:
Denmark: 159 (1979-18)
Holland: 75 (1984, 1989, 1991-92, 1994, 1996, 1998, 2001, 2003-04, 2006, 2008-18)
Italy: 17 (1967, 1971, 1992, 1995, 2010, 2013, 2015-18)
Disney Comics: 14 (1988, 1990-91, 1996)
Disney Studio (foreign market stories): 9 (1989-90)
Disney Publishing Worldwide: 3 (2016, 2018)
Western: 3 (1956, 1959, 1966)
Another Rainbow (Gladstone): 2 (1987, 1989)
Germany: 2 (1986)
France: 2 (1985, 2018)
Brazil: 2 (1974, 1993)
Greece: 1 (2018)
USA (miscellaneous): 1 (2011)
Now with the new series of Ducktales is starting a new wave of stories on Glomgold. I think it's interesting to compare Rockerduck's statistics with those of Glomgold:
Italy: 1291 (1963-19)
Disney Studio (foreign market stories): 102 (1964-69, 1971-78, 1980-82, 1984-85, 1987)
Denmark: 73 (1974, 1983-89, 1993-00, 2002-07, 2009, 2011-16, 2018)
Brazil: 67 (1972-86, 1988-91, 1993, 1995-96)
France: 19 (1982-83, 1985-87, 1994-95, 2008, 2010)
Germany: 6 (1985, 2012)
Disney Publishing Worldwide: 1 (2016)
And here it turns out that Denmark produces a story on Rockerduck for every two stories of Glomgold, also looking at the publication data we see that in Denmark were published 808 stories on Rockerduck and only 206 on Glomgold.
In the end it is only the USA that publish more stories of Glomgold than on Rockerduck, the geographical difference was minimal, apart from Italy that loves Rockerduck. The real difference is more epochal, Glomgold proved to be more suited to the more "dark" and adventurous stories that over the years have come to impose making it a more interesting character as antagonist, Rockerduck instead today is more the shark from Wall Street that lends itself to the wickedness of the stories of modern authors.
I think I was a little confused in explaining my ideas, but I hope you manage to understand them, Rockerduck too much billionaire from high finance and Glomgold more billionaire from criminal racketeering.
