Kirkee and Bangalore, India
Posted: Sat Feb 03, 2007 5:25 pm Post subject: Kirkee and Bangalore, India
I'd not thought to post this on this forum before, but having today been able to send a grave photo from Bangalore to another forum member, I thought I'd post this offer here.
I have a pretty complete set of photos of names on the 1914-1918 war memorial at Kirkee, Pune (also often spelt as Poona) and of some WW1 era graves and memorials from the Protestant and Catholic cemeteries at Hosur Road, Bangalore. If any forum members require photos from these two locations please send me a PM stating the name of the person (in the case of Bangalore) and the name and panel number (in the case of Kirkee). I also took photographs of about 1/4 to 1/3rd of the WW2 graves at Kirkee which are now with the British War Memorial Project.
Remembering the men and women of Chailey, Sussex, England
www.chailey1914-1918.net
Two of my boys is listed on the Kirkee Memorial, Andrew Slorance of the Seaforths and William M. Scott of the Scottish Rifles.
What has always intrigued me is to why they are listed on a memorial in that both died of disease and I would have assumed that they died at a hospital and so would have had a marked burial plot.
Any ideas why they are remembered on a memorial and their graves lost?
From the CWGC eentry for Kirkee
The KIRKEE MEMORIAL commemorates more than 1,800 servicemen who died in India during the First World War, who are buried in civil and cantonment cemeteries in India and Pakistan* where their graves can no longer be properly maintained. This total includes the names of 629 servicemen whose remains were brought from Bombay (Sewri) Cemetery for re-interment here in 1960. On the same memorial are commemorated almost 200 East and West African servicemen who died in non-operational zones in India in the Second World War, and whose graves either cannot be located or are so situated that maintenance is not possible. The memorial stands within KIRKEE WAR CEMETERY, which was created to receive Second World War graves from the western and central parts of India where their permanent maintenance could not be assured. The cemetery contains 1668 Commonwealth burials of the Second World War. * Ahmadabad Cantonment Cemetery; Ahmednagar Government Cemetery; Ajmer New Cemetery; Ajmer Roman Catholic Cemetery; Alibag Cemetery; Ambala Cantonment Cemetery; Amritsar Cantonment Cemetery; Bakloh Cemetery; Belgaum Government Cemetery; Bhusawal Cemetery; Bina Cemetery; Bombay (Sewri) Cemetery; Dagshai Cemetery; Dalhousie Civil Cemetery; Dalhousie Military Cemetery; Darekasa Cemetery; Deesa Cantonment Cemetery; Deolali Government Cemetery; Deoli Cemetery; Dhamangaon Cemetery; Erinpura New Cemetery; Ferozepore Military Cemetery; Hoshiarpur (Christ Church) Churchyard; Igatpuri Cemetery; Indore New Cemetery; Jubbulpore Cantonment Cemetery; Jullundur Cantonment Cemetery; Jutogh New Cemetery; Kalka Cemetery; Kamptee Cemetery; Kamptee Roman Catholic Cemetery; Kasauli Cemetery; Khandwa Cemetery; Kirkee New Cemetery; Mhow New Cemetery; Mount Abu Cemetery; Nagpur (Talki) Cemetery; Nasirabad Government Cemetery; Neemuch Cemetery; Nowgong No 60 New Cemetery; Pachmari Cemetery; Palampur Churchyard; Poona (St Sepulchre's) Cemetery; Purandhar Cemetery; Ratlan (BB&CI Railway) European Cemetery; Sabathu Cemetery; Sanjauli Cemetery, Simla; Simla Old Cemetery; Solon Cemetery.
If you find an old IWGC register for India the names are listed by the original cemteries. Edinburgh Central Library has a full set of the old registers. That's I how started my research a few years ago. The long way!

So did I ! They were at the back of the room in a small gantry that looked down a long way over the road. Hours and absolute hours I spent there and now I can do the same in relative minutes on the CWGC website!
Back to Kirkee - why couldn't the graves be maintained as I thought that the preservation of graves was enshrined in the CWGC charter?
Aren't some of these cemeteries in the tribal areas of Pakistan (now a relatively safe area for at least some of the Taliban)? That might at least explain why some of the graves cannot be maintained.
Derek, the answer's in the phrase, "buried in civil and cantonment cemeteries in India and Pakistan." These cemeteries aren't maintained by the CWGC and their upkeep is purely at the discretion of either the relevant church authorities, the municipal authority or, occasionally, the Indian army. The two I've visited at Bangalore are reasonably well maintained, partly I think because the cemeteries are still in use, but I have been to very run down cemeteries in other parts of India. As a previous poster has said, some graves are also located in what is now Pakistan, whilst others are on land owned by the Indian army and therefore off limits to the general public. (There are a lot of 19th century military memorials and graves in Bangalore which fall into that category).
Kirkee though is a CWGC cemetery and the differences between it and non CWGC cemeteries are stark. I'll post some general photographs below to illustrate what I mean.
General shot of the CWGC maintained Kirkee War Cemetery, Pune. The panels at the back, behind the Cross of Sacrifice, commemorate war dead from 1914-1918.
Another view; note the immaculate lawns and the water-logged ground. I took these photos after several days of heavy rain. Nevertheless, although this area would originally have been jungle, the gardeners ensure that the area is well maintained.
It's a very different story at non CWGC maintained cemeteries. This is a general shot of one of the Protestant cemeteries at Hosur Road in Bangalore, before the monsoon season. Recent burials can be clearly seen.
And this is another general shot taken one month into the monsoon. The headstones in the foreground are all WW1 era military headstones.
This is the grave of M2/131417 Pte C Hood of the Army Service Corps who died on 2nd September 1916. The headstones in this cemetery are of various design and composition and would have been erected at the time of, or shortly after the serviceman's death. There are none of the familiar CWGC headstones here. Also noticeable about Hood's grave is the snake pit to the right of it.
Thanks for posting these photos. I was in Warriston cemetery in Edinburgh yesterday and it was in a pretty poor state as well. During the summer it looks just like your monsoon photo and some of the CWGC headstones can barely be seen. There are no snakes though, only dogs.
Thanks for the pics and information - very interesting indeed.

Camp Sarika by Amangiri Takes Glamping to a Whole New Level
Surrounded by 600 hectares of raw wilderness in the heart of the Utah desert, Camp Sarika by Amangiri is a serene and timeless retreat where cloud shadows dance over vermillion rock formations, boundless skies expand horizons and time stands still. Within this remote sanctuary, utterly attuned to nature, guests can experience solitude, privacy, escapism and adventure.
Deriving its name from the Sanskrit word for "open space" and "sky," the camp enables a back-to-nature wilderness experience in consummate comfort, revealing Utah's otherworldly landscapes and intriguing aspects of Native American culture at every turn. The abundance of space surrounding the camp is reflected in its design, making it an ideal destination for groups or families looking for a special place to celebrate in undisturbed privacy.
Offering a connection with nature that leaves city-life a distant memory, Camp Sarika's design has been developed in timeless-tune with its inspiring environment. It forms an architectural statement and the first year-round camp of its kind in North America.
The interior décor of each tented pavilion includes custom-designed walnut and leather furniture and etched timber headboards that echo the camp's carved surroundings and are suspended from soft leather straps. Meanwhile outside—accessed via sliding doors—the architectural design continues to captivate; individual plunge pools, firepits with fireside furniture and telescopes further encourage an immersion in nature and the outdoors.
Camp Sarika's central pavilion was designed by New York-based Selldorf Architects, and the building seamlessly anchors to the environment. Paying homage to its neighbouring sanctuary, Amangiri, the main building is designed with minimalism in mind, where simple concrete blocks blend effortlessly into the rock. Upon entering, a breathtaking art installation, by internationally acclaimed artist Maya Lin titled Wahweap, welcomes guests. Inspired by tracing the shape of water as it travels from nearby Lake Powell to Lake Mead the piece is created in glass and marble, while open fireplaces and earthy materials further connect the building to its natural surroundings. Leading through to an expansive outdoor terrace, the swimming pool is flanked by shaded daybeds for escaping the midday sun and a heated jacuzzi for relaxing at dusk. The restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor seating, surrounded by fire pits that add to the atmosphere.
Tented Pavilions
Claiming unobstructed views of the mesas or facing west to catch the sunset every evening, the camp's spacious ten tented pavilions feature either one or two bedrooms, as well as a living area, dining area, bar, and private terrace with a fire pit and heated plunge pool. The five one-bedroom tented pavilions each cover 175 square metres, while the five two-bedroom tented pavilions cover 262 square metres.
The tented pavilions evoke the clean lines of the suites at Amangiri, where natural materials reflect the light transforming, undulating surface of the desert outside. Set in unparalleled proximity to nature, the interiors include soft decorative canvas ceilings, and wooden fittings, as opposed to Amangiri's blackened steel and stone furnishings. Dining With Chef Anthony Marazita at the helm, the camp's restaurant is open throughout the day, serving innovative, responsibly sourced dishes with a focus on Southwestern Native American cuisine. The restaurant's menu changes daily, incorporating the freshest local produce while also catering for vegetarians and vegans. In-room dining, and outdoor locations are used for memorable private dining experiences.
Camp Sarika offers a special two-hour spa journey known as Desert Calm, designed to hydrate and soothe body, mind and spirit. Following a gentle full-body exfoliation, a body wrap of Red Sedona Clay infused with natural botanicals draws out toxins and provides nourishment to the skin. Warm sesame oil infused with lavender is massaged into the scalp, then after a hot steam shower, hydrating lotion is massaged into the body.
Yoga and guided meditation are offered al fresco in multiple settings, allowing guests to reground themselves within the astounding natural beauty of the Utah desert. Tailor-made experiences include greeting the sunrise atop Tower Butte, 5,000 feet above sea level. This journey begins with a scenic helicopter flight over Lake Powell and Glen Canyon, before an hour's yoga and meditation session atop the butte. Camp Sarika guests also have full access to Amangiri's Aman Spa, a 2,322-square-metre destination unto itself.
Surrounded by numerous national monuments, the Navajo Nation Reservation, and five national parks including Zion, Grand Canyon and Bryce, Camp Sarika is exceptionally well placed for exploring the natural and cultural attractions of the region. Serving as an idyllic escape and a springboard for exploration of the area, the camp offers desert and mountain hiking with its own private trail system covering over ten miles of routes directly from its doorstep. The camp offers morning and afternoon wellness experiences indoors and out, canyoneering, its own Via Ferrata route and horseback riding, as well as many other activities.
Adventure activities include hiking to Horseshoe Bend, Paria Overlook or Resurrection Canyon, touring Monument Valley, exploring the well-preserved cliff dwellings of the Navajo National Monument and kayaking, fishing, paddle-boarding or boating on Lake Powell. The Colorado Plateau is also home to some of the world's best biking trails. Guests have access to e-bikes, and can choose from 3-hour, half- or full-day guided tours.
Camp Sarika arranges private tours by plane, helicopter or hot air balloon to reveal the magnificence and true scale of the region from the air. Or guests can get up close and personal with the region's history exploring the slot canyons or studying the 6,000-year-old petroglyphs in Broken Arrow Cave. The camp also enables a deeper immersion in Native American culture, with storytelling and stargazing around the fire every evening.
A 30-minute drive from the nearest town of Page and its international airport, Camp Sarika encourages a private and peaceful connection to its dramatic surroundings while remaining surprisingly accessible. The camp's remote location imbues a sense of community and exclusivity to those in residence, a nod to Aman's trademark appreciation of a destination.

Історична довідка
Меморіал засновано на честь подій 1943 року. 17 - 21 лютого 1943 року в районі Червоноармійського Рудника вели запеклі бої 10-й і 18-й танкові корпуси групи Південно-Західного фронту. Під натиском сил ворога 18-й танковий корпус був змушений відійти у північно-східному напрямку. У зв'язку з цим різко погіршилося становище на ділянці 10-го танкового корпусу.
21 лютого до селища підійшло сильне групування німців з танками і піхотою. Вранці 22 лютого після жорстоких боїв супротивник зайняв Червоноармійський Рудник.

В ході боїв з 17 по 22 лютого в районі Червоноармійського Рудника загинув 101 воїн, прізвища одинадцятьох встановлені. Додому не повернулися 332 людини.

На честь добропільців, які загинули і радянських воїнів, що захищали добропільську землю, 11 вересня 1971 року було зведено меморіал.

Q: How can I get adjustable "frames" in WPF? I know I have several options to use when it comes to dividing up my window into separate sections (e.g., DockPanel, StackPanel, etc). My Windows application requires that the user be able to adjust the size of different sections at runtime, similar to how a user can adjust FRAME widths in HTML. Does anyone have suggestions for what type/types of controls to use to accomplish this in C# WPF?  If you have any code that would illustrate how a user can mouse-over a section boundary and click-hold to adjust the size, that would be ideal.

A: System.Windows.Controls.GridSplitter
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.controls.gridsplitter.aspx
Example:
<Grid VerticalAlignment="Stretch">
    <Grid.RowDefinitions>
        <RowDefinition Height="50" />
        <RowDefinition Height="5" />
        <RowDefinition Height="*" />
    </Grid.RowDefinitions>

    <ListBox Grid.Row="0" >
        <TextBlock>Hello</TextBlock>
    </ListBox>

    <GridSplitter Grid.Row="1"
         Height="5" Background="Gray"
         VerticalAlignment="Top"
         HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" />

    <ListBox Grid.Row="2" >
        <TextBlock>World</TextBlock>
    </ListBox>
</Grid>

A: Here's an example of making frames programmatically, in either direction.
var topTB = new TextBox();
var middleTB = new TextBox();
var bottomTB = new TextBox();

var g = MakeSideBySideFrames(this.Root, topTB, middleTB, bottomTB);
g.Height = 300.0;

public Grid MakeTopBottomFrames(Panel parent, params UIElement[] items)
{
    return MakeFrames(parent,
        newPosition: (g, len)    => { g.   RowDefinitions.Add(new RowDefinition    { Height = len }); },
        setPosition: (item, inx) => { Grid.SetRow(item, inx); },
        items: items);
}
public Grid MakeSideBySideFrames(Panel parent, params UIElement[] items)
{
    return MakeFrames(parent,
        newPosition: (g, len)    => { g.ColumnDefinitions.Add(new ColumnDefinition { Width = len }); },
        setPosition: (item, inx) => { Grid.SetColumn(item, inx); },
        items: items);
}
Grid MakeFrames(Panel parent,
        Action<Grid, GridLength> newPosition,
        Action<UIElement, int> setPosition,
        params UIElement[] items
    )
{
    var g = new Grid();
    parent.Children.Add(g);

    for (var inx = 0; inx < items.Length; inx++)
    {
        if (inx > 0)
        {
            newPosition(g, new GridLength(5));

            var gs = new GridSplitter();
            g.Children.Add(gs);
            setPosition(gs, (inx * 2) - 1);
            gs.HorizontalAlignment = System.Windows.HorizontalAlignment.Stretch;
            gs.VerticalAlignment = System.Windows.VerticalAlignment.Stretch;
            gs.Background = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Black);
            gs.ShowsPreview = true;
        }

        newPosition(g, new GridLength(1, GridUnitType.Star));
        g.Children.Add(items[inx]);
        setPosition(items[inx], inx * 2);
    }

    return g;
}

The new LP arrives February 7 on Universal/Republic in Canada and on Brushfire Records in the U.S. Like his first outing, the 12 songs on Barchords allegedly ply the singer's soulful vocals with sparse folk arrangements, but the disc is said to cover anything from understated blues affairs ("Lost in the Light") to pop ("Caught Me Thinkin," which is claimed to already be a live favourite). You can check out the tracklisting below and the cover above.
While Barchords arrives in 2012, Bahamas has offered up one final gift this holiday season in the form of a cover of the Band's "Christmas Must Be Tonight." You can check out his rustic holiday take, which appears on the recently released This Warm December: A Brushfire Holiday, Volume 2, at the bottom of the page.
Barchords:
1. "Lost in the Light"
2. "Caught Me Thinkin"
3. "Montreal"
4. "OK Alright I'm Alive"
5. "Never Again"
6. "Overjoyed"
7. "I Got You Babe"
8. "Any Other Way"
9. "Snow Plow"
10. "Your Sweet Touch"
11. "Time and Time Again"
12. "Be My Witness"

Opening suit bids in Bridge World Standard are based on five-card majors. In one sense, this makes the choice of suit for the opening easier--a rigid set of relatively simple rules points to the "correct" suit. In minors, standard expert practice requires opening the longer suit (except perhaps with five diamonds and six clubs, or with four strong diamonds and five weak clubs). In case of ties, open diamonds with four-four, but clubs with three-three (to prepare for possible rebid problems).
In another sense, five-card majors makes the choice of suit for the opening bid harder, because the rigid rules can lead to unnatural openings. Opener must sometimes make a difficult choice: follow his bridge instinct, or follow his system?
(a) One diamond. Unpleasant, yes. But it is not as though there were any sensible altemative. Bidding one spade risks playing in a weak suit opposite short support. One heart is a little better, but what will you do if partner answers one notrump? One club leads to an endless losing post-mortem, regardless of result. And one diamond is not an automatic disaster--partner may have the decency to bid a major.
(b) One spade. Here there is a decent alternative--making believe spades are five-long. That is acceptable, because the spades are easily playable opposite three, perhaps even opposite two. One diamond is, of course, also acceptable, if unpalatable.
(c) One notrump. This is certainly not a good 15-count, thus it is short of the requirements for a BWS one-notrump opening. Unfortunately, if you don't open one notrump you must open something else. As between owing half-a-point for one notrump and opening one diamond on a non-suit, we prefer to owe the half-point. If partner doesn't like our bidding, we can tell him we bid a little extra because he plays the dummy with such great skill.
(d) Pass. We don't like passing with more than our share of both high-card points and major-suit cards--especially not at matchpoints. But the risks of opening are greater. To open a balanced hand in this position requires a good 12 points, which, with the unprotected queen, we do not have. And we already owe half a point from (c). If we don't pass we have to open, and we find selecting a suit uncomfortable.
(e) One club. Opening one diamond with three-three in the minors (in first or second position) is asking for trouble. We know there is a school that believes in selecting diamonds when the strength disparity is great, but the bidding is so awkward after one diamond--two clubs, and so comfortable after one club, that the three-three rule should never be violated.
(f) One club. Here, a little poetic license is acceptable. This hand can sensibly be treated as either a club-heart two-suiter or a balanced hand, depending on how the auction develops. If partner negative doubles one spade, we make believe we were dealt 1=4=3=5; if partner responds one spade, we make believe we were dealt 2=4=3=4. This won't always work smoothly, but it usually won't hurt. Meanwhile, we get to bid what we really have. which often makes a big difference.

Chatham alumna helps found "Save Chatham"
In 2008, Alexa New graduated from Chatham University. During her stay at Chatham, New was extremely involved, and even served as the student body president for two years. During her two years as president, Chatham chose to make a change that would affect past, present, and future students.
When New was applying to colleges, she applied to Chatham College for Women; however, it was during her term as president that the transfer from a women's college to the term university occurred.
The possibility of change meant the possibility of losing Chatham's identity as a women's college, which was viewed as unacceptable by the student government and student body. New regarded her position as a student elected official, stating she felt they owed it to all generations of Chatham women to question the transfer.
New commented, "It was an exciting time to be a student, and we were very protective of the undergraduate college."

The transition included small changes that could have had a large impact. New and the other students serving on student government fought to maintain the school's color as purple, not green, and made sure you could still find, "Chatham Women's College" clothes in the bookstore. This is what New and her fellow students fought for, plus much more.
However, New looked back to graduation, explaining, "My diploma says I graduated from Chatham University, when I graduated from Chatham Women's College." New and other students during the time worked extremely hard to protect Chatham's image, identity, heritage, and future as they continued to ask questions and think critically about the transition. She said, even back then, once the transition was made, the, "writing was on the wall," for Chatham University.
She remembered, "We saw that in a few years there would be an announcement of coed plans. We did everything we could to protect that!"
Just as the students felt, Chatham is now looking at the idea of a coed university, and New, among other alumnae and supporters, are working vigorously to create resources on women's education and the effects of the transition.
Beside her extensive current and past activism on Chatham's campus, New has other fond memories of Chatham, as well. She served as an R.A. for three years, and spent a Maymester in Russia in a hospital. Also, New worked a different internship every summer, just to ensure her time at Chatham was well spent.
When she spoke of her favorite moments on-campus, they all revolved around the school's traditions. Her favorite memories were of Battle of the Classes and Airband. The traditions were part of the identity New lead the student body government in protecting only a few years ago.
Looking back on her years at the school, New stated, "Chatham gave me the opportunity to really flex my leadership and flex my voice."
Now, New is newly 28 years old, and has a degree in Biology and a minor in Chemistry. She is working as the vice-president of advancement of a large health and human services organization in Cleveland, Ohio.
Her job entails managing fundraising, marketing, working with individual and corporate donors, and managing government and foundation grants. While she does not utilize her Biology degree directly, New said it is her scientific background that helps her get through the day: "One of the things the degree has done is identify an end goal. In sciences, you figure out what the problem is. It helps you dive in, and ask the right questions! It helps you determine what steps you need to take. It helps me immensely in my analytical skills and being strategic."
It wasn't until her senior year that New realized she wanted to work in a non-profit sector, and attributes part of her success to her advisor during her time at Chatham. Now that New has made it into her non-profit sector, she has a side project that is relevant to all current and previous Chatham students.
New and eight other alumni are responsible for the "Save Chatham" movement which includes students, alumnae, a Facebook, Twitter, a blog, and a whole lot of heart. All the administrators have outside commitments, but New and her fellow alumnae are still working hard to protect and serve the past, present and future generations of Chatham.
After walking down memory lane, New provided some advice for all students attending Chatham. She began by explaining the need to take advantage of the all the on-campus opportunities. She explained, "Chatham is the time you can find your voice and hone in on your leadership skills that will continue to serve you beyond your years at Chatham University."
Also, New commented on the amazing network of sisters each graduate has in the alumnae association. She urges students to take advantage of the sisterhood at hand, and contact alumnae in the field you want to work. Lastly, New repeatedly stated the importance to question everything and think critically.

Self-proclaimed short story month, post number 19.
A couple of months ago, I highly recommended Donald Barthelme's story "The School." Back then, I left at it that, with brief and eager praise, and no discussion of what the story was about. Today seemed like a good time to come back to it and post a closer look. Barthelme's story is available here. It's really short, and it'll be worth your time. I'll ruin it for someone who hasn't read it, so go for it you haven't already. Barthelme died in 1989, but he left good stories behind, "The School" among them. (Sixty Stories would make a good present for people with a sweet literary tooth; and the introduction by David Gates is quite interesting.) Barthelme also cofounded Fiction magazine, which first published John Barth's "Toga Party," a story I discussed last week.
Let's start with general impressions about "The School." The story is very well handled, and it's creepy, too. I ran around sharing it with people when I first read it. It has a sort of hymnal or choral quality that puts a fascinating strain on the narrative and on the narrator. Someone told me it had the feel of a fertility rite, and it does. There is something being sacrificed here, but it's not very clear what that is. My hunch is that the idea of categories itself is at stake, but I'll come back to that in a minute.
The story is about a school in which everything keeps dying: orange trees, herb gardens, snakes, gerbils, salamanders, tropical fish, a puppy, a Korean orphan the kids from class adopted through a program, students' parents and grandparents, and some of the students themselves. (The sheer length of this list is rather funny, even with the tragedies involved.) The person telling the story is a teacher at the school, a man called Edgar. He keeps looking for explanations for the tragedy, and failing to find them. He also tries to make the best of it by pointing to lessons the kids are or may be learning: individual responsibility, not to overwater plants, not to carry a salamander in a plastic bag. It's all shaky, of course, and we know it, and Edgar knows it.
At the end, the bossy group of students almost manages to get Edgar to have sex in class with his teaching assistant, as sex ed, they say. There is something wicked and powerful about this whole situation. And the voice of the children (they chant in unison) becomes ornate and hard to believe. When demanding a public display of sex, they say they "require an assertion of value." When asking about the meaning of death, they throw this out there, all of them synchronized: "isn't death, considered as a fundamental datum, the means by which the taken-for-granted mundanity of the everyday may be transcended in the direction of—." It's certainly not real-world children we're talking about by this point. The story doesn't explain what they've become. And that's part of its charm. And that's Donald Barthelme.
I said my guess is that categories are at stake. There's a lot of ambiguity in the story, plenty of individuals becoming groups and groups shedding individuals. There's also the sense that people have grown comfortable in categories they can quickly "transcend," as the kids say in the monologue about death. For instance, the class, en masse, named a puppy Edgar, like their teacher. "They enjoyed the ambiguity," the narrator says. "I enjoyed it myself. I don't mind being kidded." Edgar is saying he doesn't mind being "kidded" as in "made fun of," but there's a strong undercurrent of Edgar being made into a kid by the kids he's supposed to rein in, and, well, all of this disrupts society's seemingly staunch divisions. Furthermore, the puppy dies of "distemper," which means a kind of sickness, yes, but it comes from a combination of words meaning "badly mixed, improperly mingled." The dog, as everything else in the story, is being improperly mixed, perhaps because the divisions themselves are flawed. This is all speculative, of course, but there you have something else that's good about the story, that it stays simple and readable and funny, while provoking wild thoughts. ("Wildly" is the last word of the story, by the way—something else to think about.)
In a word (or three): a great story.
Finally, this comes from the introduction to Sixty Stories: "For Barthelme, plots and characters aren't fiction's raison d'etre, but good old tropes it might be fun to trot out again." Good thing to bear in mind as people keep coming up with definitions of what a story is, or with checklists of what a good story must have.

Qué fina la estructura de cebolla que muestra sus capas, sus pequeñas sorpresitas poco a poco, hasta hacernos ver que la muerte de los árboles y la muerte de los padres han sido dos fenómenos simultáneos (a pesar del "raro año" de la historia).
F. Escobar August 20, 2009 at 8:44 AM
Sentenciero: Muy de acuerdo con que la estructura de la historia es fina y bien manejada. Barthelme es muy hábil planteando estructuras y, no obstante sus juegos y experimentos, manteniéndolas ágiles.

Are Crisis Workers Burned Out?: An Examination of Stress, Social Support, and Coping. By, Baker, L. O'Brien, K. M., & Salahunddi, N. M. (2007). , Journal of Family Violence, 22, 465-474.
Abstract: Job stress, perceived social support, coping self-efficacy, and coping strategies were studied as predictors of emotional exhaustion and reduced personal accomplishment among a sample of 123 female shelter workers. Overall, these workers did not meet the collective criteria for burnout as defined by Maslach and Jackson (1986) and perceived social support and coping strategies did not account for unique variance in the prediction of emotional exhaustion and reduced personal accomplishment. Rather, high levels of time pressure and low levels of self-efficacy for being productive at work were identified as predictors of emotional exhaustion. Personal accomplishment was predicted by time pressure and robust levels of self-efficacy for dealing with stressors at work.


In light of recent developments in technologies such as whole genome sequencing and the increasing practice of exchanging samples and data between centres and across borders, the Council of Europe's Committee on Bioethics is updating its 2006 Recommendation on 'the use of biological materials of human origins in research'. In March, the Council issued a consultation document and asked for views on the proposed amendments. The Recommendation aims to protect the rights and privacy of individuals who give biological samples (like blood or skin) for research and gives guidance to researchers on storing and using the samples.
The <insert name of organisation> is a member of the Rare Disease Patient and Ethics Council which co-ordinated a collaborative response including: the RD Connect, Neuromics and Eurenomics projects; the Patient Advisory Council for those projects; the Interdisciplinary Scientific Committee of the International Rare Disease Research Consortium (IRDiRC); and Eurobiobank.
The response emphasised the importance of balancing individual citizens' right to privacy and their right to receive medical treatment and benefit from prevention of disorders through the advancement of research. We emphasised the scarcity of biological materials within rare disease research and therefore the importance of being able to re-use samples for more than one research project, including making samples available across different countries and different disease groups.
The Council of Europe is a human rights organisation which works directly with the European Parliament. The response can be found here and the original consultation document here.

There are both positive and negative emotions for a reason. Positive emotions help us define what we do want and negative emotions help us to identify things we don't want.
As kids, we don't always understand our emotions, but as we grow, we develop the ability to identify our emotions and put them into words. We develop "Emotional Awareness" or "Emotional Intelligence."
Definition - "Emotional Intelligence is the measure of an individual's abilities to recognize and manage the emotions of other people, as well as their own emotions, both individually and in groups."
Your "IQ" measures your Intelligence Quotient. Your "EQ" or EI" measures your Emotional Intelligence, a key factor in the formation and development of your close personal relationships.Learn more about your "EQ".
An Emotional Connection happens when you can trust your partner "emotionally." You trust that your partner is supportive, committed, respectful and engaged in the relationship.
A couple that is connected emotionally will give each of them more strength to deal with issues as they arise.
Failure to read and respond accordingly to other people's emotional cues can, over time, derail almost any relationship.
Conversely, the benefits of having an emotional connection are significant. Increased respect, a better sexual connection, amazing conversations, improved communication skills, better moods and a lot more fun!
A personality test will not turn your life around, but it will provide you valuable information about the type of person you are, and why you may handle situations the way that you do. Also, it will help you understand your partner.
Go to "Your Personality" for an in-depth review.
Your attachment style affects everything from partner selection, how the relationship develops and progresses and in some cases why it might end. Understanding both attachment styles can help you to understand the strengths and weaknesses in the relationship. Learn more about "Attachment Style."
It's probably not a surprise that trust is a key part of a healthy relationship, but it is something that many couples struggle with for a variety of reasons. There are different areas of trust to consider. For example, you might trust someone to be there for you physically, but not emotionally. Complete trust in someone requires considerable vulnerability and trust cannot be demanded, it can only be given. Learn more about "Trust."
Do you believe that mental intelligence is an important match characteristic? Your IQ might measure your intellect, but it is your EQ that determines how you use our intellect in a relationship. There is a big difference between intellect and intelligence. Some feel that it important to find a partner that they can "talk to" and "relate to", which you might want to consider refers to intelligence, not intellect. Learn more about dating "Intellectuals".
Respect is essential for a loving relationship. For a relationship to be considered respectful, both partners need to be equal, feel safe, valued and accepted for who they are. Arguing can be normal and healthy in relationships as long as it's done respectfully. Learn more about "Respect."
Commitment in a relationship is complicated. It takes two people, and it requires an alignment of both fact and attitude. For example, the person you are with might be committed in attitude (thoughts and beliefs), but not in fact (events and actions). Learn more about "Commitment."
There is conflict in all relationships...it's normal. In a healthy relationship, communication is the key. If you can communicate effectively and have a plan in place to handle conflict, you have the opportunity to build trust and make your relationship stronger.
For an in-depth look at handling conflict, go to our "Conflict" page.
When someone truly supports you, it means that they challenge you, stand beside you, yet give you the space you need. They don't judge you or put limits on you physically, mentally or emotionally. Proud of who you are and what you can become. Learn more about "Support."
Empathy is a key factor in building and maintaining relationships. It is the ability to tune ourselves into other people's sensations and emotions, and gain a sense of what is like to be them in that moment. It is vital to developing trust and rapport in relationships. Learn more about "Empathy."
The ability to emotionally engage with your partner is a significant factor in establishing a positive relationship. Part of the reason why people rate "a sense of humor" so high on attractive features is because being able to make us laugh is part of being able to make us feel or "engage" our emotions.
Learn more about being "Fully Present."
It's vital to understand, and be able to discuss, the emotional history of your partner. Many factors from childhood, to previous relationships, losses, achievements and more can have a significant impact on how your partner views relationships. Learn more about "History."
Developing an emotional bond is one of the keys to a long-lasting relationship as it helps to build the foundation of strength, trust, and respect. Everyone wants to feel loved by their partner; building that emotional connection will improve the overall morale of both yourself and your partner. Keeping communication open and encouraging personal growth and development for yourself and your partner will help your emotional connection.
If you have found any of this interesting or helpful and would like to learn more, our "Emotional" growthshop is a great way to have some fun and learn more about how emotions can play a part in your relationships!

Happy Birthday Charles Nelson Reilly
January 13, 2015 Scott Parker-Anderson read, Uncategorized, Watch 3 comments
Today is the 84th birthday of Charles Nelson Reilly. He studied with Uta Hagen, won three Tony Awards, wore some of the largest eyeglasses I have ever seen, and made millions laugh. The world is better off because Charles was in it and still feels the loss that he has left.
NAME: Charles Nelson Reilly
OCCUPATION: Film Actor, Theater Actor, Television Actor, Director, Television Personality
BIRTH DATE: January 13, 1931
DEATH DATE: May 25, 2007
EDUCATION: Hartt School of Music
PLACE OF BIRTH: South Bronx, New York
PLACE OF DEATH: Los Angeles, California
BEST KNOWN FOR: Charles Nelson Reilly was a Tony-Award winning actor also known for a variety of roles on TV programs, including The Ghost and Mrs. Muir and The Match Game.
Charles Nelson Reilly was born on January 13, 1931, in the South Bronx, New York. Known to many for his numerous television guest appearances on such shows as Match Game, Hollywood Squares and The Tonight Show, Reilly was also an accomplished stage actor and director. After spending some of his early years in the Bronx, he moved with his Swedish-born mother to Hartford, Connecticut, to live with some of her relatives. Reilly showed an interest in theater early on and worked as an usher in a local theater.
Around the age of 18, Reilly moved to New York City to study with Uta Hagen and her husband Herbert Berghof at their acting school, HB Studio. He landed his first Broadway stage role in the original production of the musical Bye, Bye Birdie (1960) with Dick Van Dyke, Chita Rivera and Paul Lynde. Taking on a more substantial part, Reilly appeared in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying in 1961, earning a Tony Award for his performance as Bud Frump, the lackadaisical nephew of the company president and the nemesis of the lead character, J. Pierrepont Finch.
Continuing his success on the Broadway stage, Reilly received another Tony Award nomination for his work on the musical Hello, Dolly! in 1964. By the end of the 1960s, however, he made the move to California to co-star in the supernatural comedy television series The Ghost and Mrs. Muir with Hope Lange and Edward Mulhare. Reilly later appeared as a regular on Dean Martin Presents in 1970. The following season he appeared on the short-lived sitcom Arnie.
In 1973, Reilly began making appearances on such games shows as Match Game '73 (which later became Match Game PM and then The Match Game) as well as lending his distinct, nasal-sounding voice to the animated adaptation of the E. B. White novel, Charlotte's Web. Reilly found time for stage work, directing Julie Harris in the one-woman show about Emily Dickinson, The Belle of Amherst in 1976. Again working with Harris, he directed the 1979 comedy Break a Leg. But his talents as a director and serious actor were often lost in the shadow of his wacky, witty television persona. While his serious theatrical career may have suffered, Reilly remained a popular guest on game shows and talk shows, making more than 90 appearances on The Tonight Show alone.
Along with his television work, Reilly had roles in a few films as well as voiced some characters for animated films.
He appeared with friend Burt Reynolds in Cannonball Run II (1984) and voiced the dog Killer in All Dogs Go to Heaven (1989). A well-regarded acting teacher for years, he also returned to stage work. He starred in the 1980 play Charlotte and directed the original comedy The Nerd, starring Mark Hamill.
In the later part of his career, Reilly continued to work on television and the stage. He made numerous guest appearances on such programs as The X Files and The Drew Carey Show and lent his voice to several animated series, including Hercules and SpongeBob SquarePants. In 1997, he received his third Tony Award nomination for his direction of a revival of The Gin Game starring Julie Harris and Charles Durning. Reilly himself became the subject of one of his final productions – Save It for the Stage: The Life of Reilly. He began performing his autobiographical one-man show in 2000.
Charles Nelson Reilly died of complications from pneumonia on May 25, 2007, in Los Angeles, California. He was survived by his partner, Patrick Hughes. Around the time of his death, friend and director of Reilly's one-man play, Paul Linke, told the Los Angeles Times, "The world is a slightly less funny place now. He made people laugh along the way, and that's a legacy that lives on long after the game shows."

On March 27, 2019, CCC President Rev. Wu Wei received a four-member delegation from the Foundation for Theological Education in Southeast Asia (FTESEA) in CCC&TSPM headquarters. The two sides exchanged ideas regarding theological education, the indigenization and contextualization of Christianity in China, etc.
Rev. Wu Wei first extended warm welcome to Dr. Jeffrey Kuan, Dr. Dorcas Gordon, Cannon Dr. Peter Ng and Dr. H.S. Wilson.
Dr. Jeffrey Kuan introduced the major ministries of FTESEA, and reviewed the long-standing partnership and exchanges between FTESEA and CCC&TSPM. He admitted that China's theological education had made remarkable progress during the last few decades, and expected to learn from the experience of the Church in China and help churches in other countries and regions to promote local theological education.
Dr. Gordon and Dr. Wilson also expressed their idea of creating a platform that allows churches in Southeast Asia to interact and communicate in the fields of theological education, church contextualization and so forth, in order to share experience and learn from one another.
Rev. Wu Wei thanked FTESEA for their assistance for Nanjing Union Theological Seminary and other Chinese theological seminaries over the past years. With regard to the significance of seminaries, Rev. Wu mentioned that theological seminaries are closed linked with the future development of the Church in China. Since the reform and opening up, seminaries in China have undergone great changes with China's high-speed economic development and social progress. However, we still face challenges including clergy shortage, pastoral re-training and the contextualization and indigenization of theological thinking in China and so forth.
Dr. Jeffrey Kuan said that FTESEA was deeply impressed by the Three-self Principles of the Church in China. He also affirmed that its significance was not limited in China. The principle can be enlightening for churches in other countries.
The two sides also exchanged ideas on specific topics of theological education.
Rev. Lin Manhong, associate general secretary, along with other staff members from China Christian Council received the delegation.
After the meeting, the two sides exchanged gifts and took group photos.

Governor Cooper Reestablishes Andrea Harris Equity Task Force to Continue Work to Address Underserved Communities
Today, Governor Roy Cooper reestablished the Andrea Harris Equity Task Force through an Executive Order to continue the work that the group has done to address social, economic and health disparities in underserved and underrepresented communities.
"A talented, educated and diverse workforce is one of North Carolina's greatest strengths and it's important for us to keep working to eliminate the barriers our communities of color have faced for too long," said Governor Cooper. "I'm grateful that the Andrea Harris Equity Task Force will continue the efforts to make our state a more fair and just state for all."
"Thanks to the work of the Task Force, we've made important gains and now we can continue the mission to further economic development, improve health and wellness, and advance equitable practices within state agencies," said Administration Secretary Pamela Cashwell.
In June 2020, Governor Cooper established the Andrea Harris Task Force to identify best practices to help create economic stability in disadvantaged communities, improve health and wellness in underserved areas and achieve environmental justice. Meeting nearly monthly since first formed, the Task Force established 21 policy recommendations across the five core areas of healthcare, business development, education, environmental justice and inclusion and engagement. Nine of those recommendations have been fully implemented while the other 12 are in progress through the work of Task Force subcommittees and state agencies.
Among numerous accomplishments, the Andrea Harris Task Force secured funding to help implement NCCARE360, a resource to connect North Carolinians with local health, housing, employment and transportation services. Members also helped secure funding to address environmental issues, like lead and asbestos, in public schools. The Task Force strongly advocated for more digital access across our state and partnered with the NC Department of Public Instruction to develop a digital literacy curriculum and toolkit that is accessible to all families in their native language. In alignment with Andrea Harris's legacy, the Task Force supported historically underutilized businesses, encouraging state contractors to commit to spending at least 8% on historically underutilized businesses.
The Andrea Harris Equity Task Force will be comprised of members appointed by the Governor and who represent various agencies and community organizations. Appointees will include the following members or their designee:
Secretary of the NC Department of Administration
Chief Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Officer for NC Commerce
Digital Equity and Literacy Director for the NC Department of Information Technology
Chief Health Equity Officer for NC Department of Health and Human Services
Executive Director of the North Carolina Pandemic Recovery Office
Office of Civil Rights Director for NC Department of Transportation
Office of Historically Black Colleges and Universities Outreach Director for NCDOT
A member or representative from each of the following groups will comprise the rest of the task force:
Hometown Strong
NC Department of Administration Commission of Indian Affairs
Governor's Advisory Council on Hispanic-Latino Affairs
North Carolina Council for Women Advisory Board
Historically Underutilized Business Advisory Council
NC Department of Administration Commission on Inclusion
NC Community College System or UNC System Office
NC Historically Black College or University or a Minority Serving Institution
Four community organizations aligned with the mission of the Andrea Harris Equity Task Force
Governor Cooper developed the Andrea Harris Social, Economic, Environmental, and Health Equity Task Force to addresses the social, environmental, economic, and health disparities in communities of color disproportionally impacted by COVID-19. Named in honor of the late civil rights activist, Andrea Harris, who dedicated her life to eliminating disparities in North Carolina, the Task Force work targets core areas including Access to Healthcare, Economic Opportunities and Business Development, Educational Opportunity, Environmental Justice and Inclusion, and Patient Engagement.

Do I scan the DNA somehow to find target frequencies or does it just sit inside there and magically do something whenever the Remote is running?
There is no need to scan your DNA, and yes, it just sits in that slot. As explained above it only acts as antenna, the magic is done by the scalar wave created by two opposing polarities of the coils in the remote.
Can I apply Cold Laser Wrist with different frequencies in two hands simultaneously on 2 separate generators?
Has anyone had any experience treating multiple people at once on the same remote? I was treating about 8 of us and had to take 4 off. Seems like we were picking up symptoms from others or one person that was maybe the sickest.
