Some Elements of Economic Wisdom to Be Addressed by Christian Ministry
This is the second of two presentations given at at the Kern Family Conference for Theological Educators, January 25-26, 2013. The first presentation is Economic Wisdom and Human Flourishing.
In my talk yesterday I gave my reasons for saying that "the church," through its teaching and preaching, has the responsibility to explicitly address the economic proposals and processes of the society within which it ministers, including those that involve government action. Spokespersons for Christ are under the imperative to love God and to love their neighbors as themselves. Their responsibility for what honors God and what is good for the public, as well as for their closer "followers," dictates that they deal with economic issues that seriously impact life and well-being. This will in turn require that Christian educators undertake to prepare those who embrace this responsibility to speak with understanding and clarity about economic issues, with reference to the government, of course, but also with reference to the major non-governmental segments of society: business, education, the professions, and so forth. For example, the failure of 'lower' education to teach all students about money, how it works, and what to do about it, should be a constant concern for ministers and should be seriously dealt with by them. The same is true for other sources of well-being (and its lack). Of course they will encounter strong opposition.
But my main point yesterday had to do with the differing versions of flourishing or well-being that frame a secular vision of human life and that frame a Christian/Biblical vision. Human flourishing and well-being have numerous possible dimensions. But a vision of what it is to have well-being or to prosper is presupposed in any evaluation of economic ideas, plans, or practices for implementation. However, economics as a field of inquiry does not help us with the understanding of what constitutes human well-being. That simply does not fall in its domain—though its experts often seem to presume it does. It is the task of the Christian minister to keep before the public an understanding of when human beings are well-off and when not. He or she does not have exclusive responsibilities in this regard, perhaps, but they do have this responsibility in a special way, because of their position in society, and because of the sources of knowledge and power they have that come with that position as spokespersons for Christ.
We concluded last time with some discussion of reasons why conservative/evangelical churches, in particular, and their ministers, tend to back away from any such responsibility. We emphasized what I take to be a misunderstanding of the gospel as having to do only with forgiveness of sins and the afterlife, and as something with no essential public bearing or involvement. Also, we pointed out that to bring knowledge of political and economic affairs is not to be political, in the sense of seeking to control political persons, offices and events. Not that that is ruled out, but it presents a different set of issues
Today I want to focus more closely upon the makeup of the life exemplifying economic wisdom, both in the individual and in public institutions, and upon the role of Christian spokespersons in promoting such a life. What does a life of economic wisdom look like? In approaching this topic a certain misunderstanding, already mentioned, must be hit head on. This is the idea that Christian virtues and character can be—or even necessarily are—something hidden from public view and of no significance for how the world runs. One can, on this view, be exactly the kind of person God intended one to be without influencing or transforming the social connections (including governmental) in which we live. Let us say once for all that nothing could be further from the truth. The Bible, Christian history, and careful observation all bear that out. The early Christian movement simply transformed its world. However, we must admit, study after study in recent decades shows that the general run of Christians in North America do not differ in character from the non-Christians there. That opens the door for the small number of Christians who really are profoundly different to be dismissed as oddities, and for the serious implications of Christian virtue for public life and order to be disregarded—both by the world and by the church itself. A part of what emerges from this picture is the usual assumption that religion has no relevance to government, or even to business (C. Stanley story: "This is business. Let's leave God out of it") and the various professions. The truth of the matter is that the character of Christ lived out in ordinary life would transform our world, including what it means to have economic well-being and to live a life of economic wisdom.
A Life Exemplifying Economic Wisdom
For purposes of discussion here, let us say that a public/social setting exemplifies economic wisdom if the ordinary person living therein, under normal conditions, is able to engage in productive living (maybe with a job), with adequate resources to meet basic needs of life, with assurance of security, and with a reasonable hope for attainment of familiar human objectives, given appropriate application of thought and effort. People generally in such circumstances would be able to lead useful and happy lives and be content with their lives, even though those lives might be far from perfect. We do not make it a condition of exemplified economic wisdom in a setting that most people therein have opportunities to "make it big"—though that might be a possibility for some—or that someone could be economically successful without appropriate, intelligent effort, or without the assistance of individuals around them (family, friends, acquaintances) who contribute to their lives in ways that are uncoerced but non-commercial. In the setting we have in mind, it is important to note, many wants and perhaps some needs would go unsatisfied. The situation we are contemplating is not utopia.
I want to emphasize that achieving an environment of economic wisdom is not something simple or easy. We especially want to reject the idea that there is this relatively self-contained system, called "the economy," that runs on laws that can be discovered by clever people and manipulated in such a way that the "system" produces human well-being, "general welfare," even of the limited sort specified in the last paragraph. Some seem to think that if you can just get those laws right and find experts (guiding government action or inaction) to tinker with them, desirable conditions in "the economy"—say low inflation, fair and mild taxation, care for the needy, great opportunities for all individuals—will flood the land. As T. S. Eliot said decades ago, "We are looking for a system so perfect that we will not have to be good." But such a system is not going to happen. There is no "answer" of that sort. Spokespeople for Christ need to say this repeatedly and with emphasis. Only so can they deal realistically with the human condition. A good economic condition is not just human accomplishment.
Three Main Factors in a Life of Economic Wisdom
A situation successfully exemplifying economic wisdom will, I surmise, involve three major factors, only part of which is subject to human direction and control:
Prevalence within the population of a certain range of individual characters and virtues.
Social and political arrangements and practices that manifest much of those same characters and virtues in public life and its institutions, suitably adjusted to fit the fact that they are now social and not traits of individuals. In this the role of leaders and their characteristics becomes paramount. Honest governmental or business agencies, for example, are up to leaders to see to. Here too, system alone will not suffice.
External circumstances, natural resources, historical events (wars, climate—storms, drought, etc.), turns of government, and things that might be termed acts of God.
There is, of course, very little I could say about (3), and so I will spend my time on (1) and (2).
The Primacy of Individual Character
Life exemplifying economic wisdom only emerges from the prevailing characteristics and actions of the particular persons who make up a population. The particular person is primary because only individuals are capable of action. The order or disorder in any dimension of society, under usual circumstances, is entirely a function of what individuals are prepared to do. (Explanations in such terms are shunned by social scientists.) Of course what individuals are prepared to do is in turn largely determined by the social structures and processes which formed them and in which they are immersed; and that is totally so for people who are not thoughtful, informed, and self-motivated to think critically about what they do, or who do not have leaders and teachers that challenge their habits of thought, feeling and action, enabling them to do more than just react to their surroundings. So we always have to take into consideration, when reflecting on economic life, both the characteristics of particular persons and the social contexts and structures that actually influence people to do what they do.
Still, it is the actions of particular persons and the character traits that those actions express which directly constitute whatever economic wisdom (or foolishness) we may find exemplified in a given context. So let us look briefly at the personal characteristics which will be favorable to a life exemplifying economic wisdom. And, first, we consider the characteristics that are foundational, and probably foundational for any decent form of human existence. You can collect a list of those from almost any of the great thinkers in human history, East or West (e.g. Confucius), because they are so important for human life. But here we are in a Christian context, so we will take our list from the New Testament.
The Role of "The Fruit of The Spirit
In chapter five of his letter to the Galatians, the Apostle Paul lists major components of what he calls "the fruit of the Spirit," and contrasts them with "the works of the flesh." He lists love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. (Gal. 5:22-23) "Against such things," he says—surely with some sly humor—"there is no law." No doubt that is just because of the 'foundational' role such traits have in building strong and beneficial relationships and contributing to human well-being. Take them out of human life, and you are left with a condition that few would find desirable or even endurable, where "the works of the flesh" (Gal. 5:19-21) provide the dominant tone and substance of society. That is a condition which largely prevails in life around the globe and which contributes heavily to—I would say makes inevitable—the economic unwisdom or foolishness and the outright wrongdoing and evil which we see all around us. Just look at the "works" listed for "flesh," and think about what they presuppose and what they produce for economic life. Compare that to the fruit of the Spirit.
A life structured around and animated by the fruit of the Spirit will be one in which the personal relationships discussed in our previous talk, as central to human well-being, are strong and profitable to everyone involved. It will be one in which the further characteristics more specifically required in a life (individual or social) exemplifying economic wisdom are likely to be present and strongly supported. That is why I call the elements in the fruit of the Spirit "foundational." Let us think briefly about a few of these foundational traits. Just consider love, joy, and peace from the viewpoint of economic wisdom.
"Love is good will in action. To love something or someone is to act or be poised to act for its (or their) good. Love of neighbor is a disposition to act for what is good for your neighbor. Or if you see harm coming to them, you act to deflect or diminish the harm. And if they need some good thing, you do what is reasonably in your power to supply it. In the larger social/governmental setting love does what it can to establish and sustain arrangements and practices that will benefit everyone or many effected—or will benefit the now much maligned "common good." It will oppose institutions and practices that hurt "the public" or fail to help them. Thus, all of the clear cases of "professions" are devoted to a common good, and therefore are seen as callings and as groups that are devoted to service, not just to personal gain for practitioners of their "profession." Love at the public level will care for the economy because it cares for (loves) people.
Joy is a positive outlook of hopefulness based upon a pervasive sense of well-being over all. It, like love, has a feeling component that is pleasant, but it (also like love) is not a feeling. It is a positive posture in life that assumes that good will be supported and eventually triumphant. Joy is compatible with pain and disappointment and sorrow, because it always takes a wider view of circumstances and hopes for what is good to prevail. It enables one to be patient in endeavor, faithful to commitments, and is required for the all-important factor in economic well-being of deferred gratification: the ability to say "no" to desires, or at least a firm "not yet." Joy enables delayed or denied gratification. The bearing of joy on economic wisdom should be obvious. It is indispensable to steady contentment and perseverance in a task. It liberates from the demands for immediate satisfaction, rather than for what is good. One of its offshoots is wise investment.
Peace is a kind of rest that comes from bedrock confidence in the sufficiency of what is necessary and good for me. "When peace like a river attendeth my way, when sorrows like sea billows role…It is well with my soul," the song says. A person of peace does not attack others, and faces attacks on him or her self with calmness and non-malevolence that arises out of assured abundance. They are not hostile or suspicious or "touchy" and easily offended. The wisdom that is from above, says the Epistle of James, "is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, unwavering, without hypocrisy, and the seed whose fruit is righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace." (3:17-18)
These few remarks will, I hope, make clear the role of elements of the fruit of the Spirit in a life of economic wisdom. Here we will not be able to discuss each element listed by Paul in the fruit of the Spirit, but when you add them all together, including patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness (or moderation), and self-control, you get a picture of a different kind of person from the standard run of the human mill. Upon reflection you will realize, I think, that the well-being and flourishing that such a person has, and promotes for others, will strongly influence the social and governmental arrangements that they will be caught up in (in the natural course of life) and that they will seek to establish and maintain. If a person is well-developed in these characteristics, they will tend to be capable of being at home in their context and of supporting themselves and others related to them. By contrast, you can observe, I think, that people caught up in a life of economic unwisdom are usually—exceptions must always be allowed—lacking in the foundational traits that make up the fruit of the Spirit.
The Effects of Love, Joy, and Peace on Economic Behavior
From these foundational traits, certain characteristics that have a more direct bearing upon the economic flourishing of individuals and societies will naturally arise. A long and profitable study of how this works could and should be made. Here we will only make a few comments. For example, love (especially with joy) will certainly promote productivity of goods and services, both in quantity and quality. Love naturally focuses upon the production of what is good and seeks to make it widely available. (The Templeton study) God's creation was an act of love. The drive to be self-supporting is almost always tied to the will to be productive and to benefit others. Again, that is observable in human life. Paul remarks on his own practice: "We did not eat anyone's bread without paying for it, but with labor and hardship we kept working night and day so that we might not be a burden to any of you." (2 Thess. 3:8) And he calls upon his readers to follow his example. Again he says: "Let him who steals steal no longer; but let him rather labor, performing with his own hands what is good, in order that he may have something to share with him who has need." (Eph. 4:28)
Peace eliminates hostile relationships that hinder productivity and wastes human talent and energy. It enables helpfulness to dominate human relationships. Joy (in work and in sharing) makes everything easier and adds a strength of its own to any endeavor. These traits also foster restraints that make for economic well-being. The elements of the fruit of the Spirit put one in a position to be patient in undertakings, capable of deferred gratification, not wasteful or foolishly indulgent, not unable to say "no" to what one wants or, as a leader, to what a group wants. The ability to say "no" to desire enables the individual or group to distinguish between a want and a need (the Wells Fargo note), and to keep wants in their proper (limited) place so far as decision and action goes. This is of overwhelming importance at the level of government, where, once deficit spending or "redistribution of wealth" is adopted as a way of getting on, wants simply run wild for lack of leaders who can say "no" to their constituency. (Plato, Republic, Books 7-9) Thrift, as a central practice, is then abandoned. But thrift, now an old-fashioned idea, is in general essential to economic well-being and flourishing. ("Thrift" and "flourishing" are now words that do not comfortably fit together, if they even show up, in the contemporary consciousness. Thrift is thought of as shabby.) (The little song)
A need, as opposed to a mere want, is a lack of some kind that, if not properly met, results in a serious harm to the functioning of the system in which it occurs, or even the demise of that system—e.g., malnutrition of very young children, lack of intellectual or artistic stimulation in early childhood, or failure of an infant to emotionally "bond" with significant adults. At the social/economic level, freedom to exercise initiative creatively and to reap the rewards (and sorrows) of risk and effort is a need which must be met if self-regulating, productive life is to be attained. It is the foundational character traits from the fruit of the Spirit that can enable the individual (and by extension the group) to say either "yes" or "no" to what is required or not for a life of economic wisdom. It is certainly the task of the Christian spokesperson to teach, train, and exemplify both the foundational traits and the more specific traits required in the economic domain—industriousness, self-control, moderation, and responsibility for oneself and others. That is the responsibility and posture of love. To repeat, we should put to rest once for all the idea that these traits are "private" and that public economic flourishing is independent of them. Public well-being and prosperity essentially depend upon them, properly understood and implemented.
Well-Being Cannot Be Arranged for People Generally
I think we have to concede that welfare is not something that can be produced for people generally, though some provisions for "general welfare" can and must be made. The general welfare can be destroyed by events or by foolish policies and actions. But welfare is essentially also a matter of the character of the people involved. Augustine says in his Rule that "Those who have the strength to lead simple lives should consider themselves the richest of people. For it is better to be able to make do with a little than to have plenty." What an idea! The character of people in a population is hugely determinative of how well-off people are and of whether or not they and their society flourishes. Some dimensions of welfare or flourishing can, perhaps, be quantified and dealt with abstractly and externally. But two people in the same material conditions may not have an equally good life or be equal in welfare or well-being. Because of their attitudes and understandings and, especially, because of their human relationships their lives may be quite disparate so far as human well-being goes. Fifty dollars in the pocket or hand of an intemperate or ignorant person is not equal, so far as welfare is concerned, to fifty dollars in the hand of a wise and virtuous person living in a network of sensible friends and relatives. A "safety net" is one thing, and it in some measure might be provided to a population, so long as the money or credit lasts. But well-being, or a flourishing life, is quite another thing, and it cannot be handed to people generally (if it ever can to anyone).
Christian Spokespersons Addressing the "Public" Domain
But the work of the responsible Christian spokesperson is not done with having pointed out the traits that most essentially enter into human well-being. It is by far the most import thing we must do, but now we want to look at a few extensions of that work which have special involvement and significance for public life, including the functioning of government. And with this we return to (2) in our list of major factors involved in a human situation successfully exemplifying economic wisdom.
It is of course true that Christian spokespersons are not to dictate governmental or other large-scale policies. They are not in any position to do so, and that is a good thing. But they are in a position to address economic and social issues that effect all citizens, and not just those of their particular "flock." Not every person in pastoral or other Christian position should do this, but many should. The well-being of their neighbors is at issue, and love dictates that they speak the truth, as best they can, to as wide an audience as they can access in the various was of speaking, writing, and communicating. That is the well-established role of the prophet in the biblical picture of life. It is something that Jesus himself did, and, though not for everyone in ministry, for those called and gifted it is their necessary task.
People in positions of power, governmental and otherwise, should be under the constant scrutiny of Christian leaders. Who else is to do this? Government is executed by human beings, and those human beings tend to drift in the direction of interests of the government and its employees. This often means in the direction of the world, the flesh, and the devil. What should be accomplished for the public good, and how it is done, by judges, legislators, executives, and those in public service ("civil" servants) cannot be left up to them. Context, if not mere egotism and group identity, usually—not always—overwhelms them. That is where the prophetic voice must come into play. The Christian spokesperson must speak up. It is the sad mistake of many ministers to suppose that they only speak to their church or constituency. Christ speaks to the world, and about everything that really matters. It is our responsibility to follow him and be with him in this.
This is especially important in a situation where government accepts the responsibility of providing "welfare" for its people. Of course in some measure it is right that it should do so. But where welfare has come to mean that the government has the responsibility of securing a comfortable form of life for recipients, "entitlements" will eventually explode, and deficit spending becomes inevitable and uncontrollable, because those in positions of power cannot say "no." A "no" will cause a great deal of pain and harm for some people. It is, for many, a tragic situation. But neither the individual nor a government can live perpetually beyond their means, and perpetual deficit spending with no plan for recovery, or at least a "sense" of how to go about stopping the overspending and paying off of the debt, is madness—probably just a blind hope that somehow it will work out. John M. Keynes, a great sponsor of deficit spending, was often told that "sooner or later" Britain would have to pay off its debts. His reply, I understand, was: "Sooner or latter we will all be dead." Well, that is certainly true.
The pastor or spokesperson also has the task of preparing some of those under his or her influence to step into and occupy positions of influence at all levels of society, including government. This means the development of a character that will allow the individual to play a role in public leadership which leads in the direction of economic wisdom, and not just toward securing their own position and advancing the interests of their supporters. For the Christian, of course, that means identification of the leader with servant of all. It is only through leaders that a society or government takes on the qualities of economic wisdom—or the vices of the opposite. One cannot bypasss this in dreams of a "system" that will do the job on its own. The pastor/teacher must talk about this and stress that such leadership is a call on the lives of many Christians as well as others. We must emphasize that this is a holy calling. Of course a Christian in such a position can only survive and thrive by the hand of God moving with him or her. But that is just another day in the life of those whose actual citizenship is in the heavens. (Phil. 3:20) We should explicitly assume this and, if we are in a position of leadership, count on it, along with those in our discipleship setting. We should do what we can to help such people gain and sustain positions of influence where their judgments and examples can make a difference.
Finally, the Christian spokesperson must make a point of knowing what is taking place in his or her world. Some will have to take on the role of investigative reporters and organize their operation around it. They must go out of their way to be informed and to personally interact with leaders in social and economic matters. Here Christian academics and specialists must come to their aid. Being properly informed is more difficult today, since what is now called "journalism" has for the most part degenerated into a branch of entertainment, and journalists almost never look into and responsibly inform the public on matters that deeply impact it. (Where were the "journalists" when the series of financial disasters that have unfolded over recent decades, from the famous "Savings and Loan" scandal onward to "Enron," were developing? Etc., etc.) Again, this is not for everyone in the position of Christian ministry, but it is for some who are. And it is, further, the responsibility of the "experts" who occupy positions in higher education—and, specifically, Christian higher education—to prepare those who exercise this prophetic ministry, to the church and to the nation and world, for effective execution of their special tasks. They must expose the economic follies of a government or society dominated by desire alone, and the power contests that arise from that.

State and municipal CBD bans haven't helped anything
There have been a spate of bans on CBD products in American jurisdictions in the time since the substance was legalized federally, most recently last month in Washington state.
Cannabis enthusiasts and those interested in the industry have found these reflexive moves by local and state governments onerous and even oppressive, but the further these prohibitions develop the clearer their folly becomes.
Many people heard about the police arrests and product seizures that happened at the beginning of 2019 after the 2018 Farm Bill legalized industrial hemp (and its derivative CBD), but many of the laws specifically prohibiting the substance came more recently.
Over the summer, New York City instituted a ban on CBD products in food and drink products. Mayor Bill DeBlasio said he was acting on the guidelines of the Food and Drug Administration, but it is still possible to purchase such products in many places nationwide.
California also banned CBD foods and drinks this year. [1]
On August 1, Washington state banned CBD in food as well, leaving Oregon as the only remaining state on the Pacific coast to protect such goods under state law. [2]
Food and drink CBD offerings aren't FDA approved, but these state and local bans are actually redundant and at worst, counterproductive. [1]
The reason CBD foodstuffs are not allowed on the market is because FDA bureaucrats haven't formulated clear enough rules surrounding the cannabis compound, which many people use for common ailments like anxiety and inflammation.
Simply not having clear rules from the FDA on the subset of CBD products means they are technically not allowed for now, but once those guidelines are approved, these state and municipal laws will be the new sticking point for business owners and consumers.
"Enforcement officials in Washington are signaling that the prohibition efforts will be implemented in a gentle, informative and educative manner rather than a hard crack down on all products at once," reported Cannabis Radar. [3]
According to Cannabis Radar, specially licensed stores that sell THC-heavy cannabis and marijuana products can still sell CBD edibles, but they simply won't be able to be sold on ordinary store shelves. [3]
"It's clear CBD regulations are a mess right now. They're confusing, changing, and often seemingly at odds with each other and themselves," Reason magazine reports. "While Washington State, California, and other states deserve some of the blame for that, most of the fault lies with the [FDA]." [1]
Former commissioner of the FDA, Scott Gottlieb, has previously said publicly that clear regulations from the FDA, which he calls the "Foot-Dragging Agency," could take years to arise. [1]
In the meantime, the administrations confusing directions have bled down to states and cities, leaving ordinary people afraid for their investments and deprived of products they love.

The life of renowned British photojournalist Don McCullin is presented through contemporary interviews and archival photographs spanning his career from the late 1950s to the present. McCullin's work covers a range of topics from around the world, including urban street gangs in London, life in the American south, and the hunger crisis in Africa, and he is widely recognized for his powerful war photographs of battlefields from Biafra and Beirut to Cambodia, Northern Ireland, and Vietnam. McCullin's career was launched in 1959, when The Observer printed his photographs of a London street gang, and flourished at the Sunday Times Magazine, where he worked as a correspondent. The film provides a look at the stories behind the photographs, and why, after many years in the field and wide recognition for his artistry, McCullin continues to grapple with questions of conscience in recording the atrocities of war and human suffering.

The TARA journey
May 27, 2016 By MariJasmine 2 Comments
On the 15th of June last year,
around 10 in the evening, an email popped up in my inbox. It was another work inquiry. This time from a social entrepreneur based in San Fransisco, who was looking for someone to be the face of her jewellery and accessory start up. Hmm. Sounds interesting, I thought. Little did I know, how significant this email would be in shaping the next year of my life.
Fast forward 3 months and a dozen email exchanges, and I find myself in the lush greenery of Iloilo, where we spend the week shooting photos and videos for the alpha (soft) launch of TARA (The Artisan Row Accessories). I was instantly drawn to the beautifully crafted pieces, but also quite overwhelmed with the back story of this social enterprise. Annette, the #girlboss and brains behind TARA shared with me her dream of creating premium jewellery whilst tackling pressing social issues like gender inequality and poverty in the Philippines. I mean, this was a big dream, and indeed, Annette was just a girl with a big idea, going out on a limb to produce her first ever fashion campaign.
Fast forward another 4 months...
and we find ourselves in San Francisco shooting the collection for the 2016 launch (I actually cried when Annette told me she wanted to bring us there to shoot)! It was my first time in the city, and I instantly fell in love with the place. I've never been anywhere like it! The iconic, colourful townhouses, the chilly yet fresh weather (a much welcomed respite from the Manila heat), the crazies on Haight st, the perfectly steamed cups of non dairy coffee, my now favourite designer consignment store… they all hold a very special place in my heart. Also, by navigating the city in search of the best locations to shoot, I inadvertently had the best tour of San Francisco imaginable!
That being said, what really made this trip unforgettable was the coming together of a few brilliant minds to work on what I'm now coining #TARAxSF2016. I was so excited to have the incredibly talented Kim Jones on board with us for this campaign, and learnt so much from her creativity and fashion forward insight. The "create yourself" video (which nearly made my heart explode from an amalgamation of pride, inspiration and general FEELS) is the brainchild of Blueqube, a production house from Iloilo with which we shared many good times (and gin tonics). Then there is of course, none other than one of my best friends and talented photographer Paolo Pineda, who has been on board with TARA since the very first shoot.
And now, here we are. TARA has evolved from a big idea into a brand with distinct, classic, timeless pieces made from high quality gold and precious stones. I love that these pieces are meant to last – I know that they're forming the foundation of my wardrobe now, and I'll treasure them forever.
But TARA isn't just about the jewellery. For me the brand embodies the girl who is hungry for inspiration. The girl who wants to see the world and conquer her fears. The girl who sits down with her morning coffee, puts on a brave face (with the help of some gangsta rap) to smash another day. She's strong but sensitive. Has a ferocity to her drive but radiates warmth and compassion. Her joie de vivre is contagious. Essentially, she's Annette (the sort of kick ass human I aspire to be).
To see TARA come to life, and to be a part of that journey has been the most wonderful, inspiring experience. I've never felt so connected to a brand and its story, or felt so passionate about its purpose. I'm proud as punch, and mark my words: this is only the beginning. The best part is, wherever TARA may go in the future, I can always claim to be the OG TARA girl. Ohhh yeah.

Tapper: Trump voter fraud claim a 'fever dream'
CNN's Jake Tapper and Nia-Malika Henderson discuss President Trump's false claims of voter fraud in the 2018 midterm elections.
Posted: Nov 16, 2018 3:11 AM
Updated: Nov 16, 2018 3:28 AM
President Donald Trump on Wednesday once again tried to make a case for voter ID laws by using a grocery store analogy, inexplicably claiming shoppers need to show identification to buy cereal.
"The disgrace is that, voter ID. If you buy, you know, a box of cereal, if you do anything, you have a voter ID," Trump told the conservative news website The Daily Caller.
The President appeared to be referencing an earlier argument he'd made this summer -- that because photo identification is required for something as basic as purchasing groceries with a check or credit card, it should also be required in order to vote.
However, if you're purchasing cereal in the United States, there's no universal requirement for showing your ID at the cash register. The White House did not respond to CNN's request for clarification on the President's Wednesday remarks.
Photo ID is required when purchasing alcohol, cigarettes, some medicines, and occasionally when verifying purchases made with a credit card or, decreasingly, with a check. In a small number of states, identification photos are included on food stamp cards for low income families, and several chains, such as Costco, may require identification when applying for membership.
The President said in August: "You know, if you go out and you want to buy groceries, you need a picture on a card, you need ID. You go out and you want to buy anything, you need ID and you need your picture."
"The only time you don't need it in many cases is when you want to vote for a president, when you want to vote for a senator, when you want to vote for a governor or a congressman. It's crazy," he said at the time.
Following Trump's August comments, White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said Trump was referring to liquor purchases.
"If you go to a grocery store and you buy beer or wine, you're certainly going to show your ID," Sanders said. "He's not saying every time he went in. He said, 'When you go to the grocery store.' I'm pretty sure that everybody in here who's been to a grocery store that's purchased beer or wine has probably had to show their ID. If they didn't, then that's probably a problem with the grocery store."
Trump has used other false examples to bolster his argument in favor of voter ID laws.
"The Republicans don't win and that's because of potentially illegal votes, which is what I've been saying for a long time," Trump said in the Daily Caller interview Wednesday. "I have no doubt about it. And I've seen it, I've had friends talk about it when people get in line that have absolutely no right to vote and they go around in circles. Sometimes they go to their car, put on a different hat, put on a different shirt, come in and vote again. Nobody takes anything. It's really a disgrace what's going on."
However, there is well-established evidence that voter fraud is extremely rare, and the President did not provide evidence for the type of voter fraud he referenced.
For example, stealing someone's identity to vote is less likely than being struck by lightning, as the nonpartisan Brennan Center for Justice at the New York University School of Law put it.
In addition, election researchers and experts around the country who spoke to CNN ahead of the midterm elections all agreed that there is zero evidence of widespread voter fraud, whether by citizens or noncitizens.

Preventing Suicide by Higher Education
Universities are among the most important institutions in our democracy. Yet today, they too often work to undermine the foundations of our political and civic life and advance an agenda of divisive radicalism. If taxpayers are going to avoid subsidizing the corrosion of our social order, policymakers will need to think differently about how to use the leverage they possess.
Civility and Rebarbarization
Although we have rarely put it this way, Americans in this century have been engaged in a series of arguments about the preconditions for sustaining a free society. It is a question that was much on the minds of America's founders. John Adams took it up more explicitly and thoughtfully than most, and offered wisdom on the subject that still speaks powerfully to our modern predicaments.
Franklin and the Free Press
The free press is meant to serve both intellectual and political liberty. But instead of questioning dogma, it now more often creates and disseminates it. This is not a new problem. Benjamin Franklin, a journalist himself, wrote eloquently on the effectual truth of the principle underlying the freedom of the press, and his reflections are urgently needed today.

Q: Are there any bonus for playing 4 v 5 games? We all experienced games where a player leaves or goes AFK mid-game. It is always annoying when you lose a game even though you think you would have won.
Do you get any compensation for playing a game like that? Would it be something like:

*

*bonus XP/IP

*lost forgiven

*extra bonus if you win the game?

If not do they plan on doing something like that in the future?

A: In short, No there is no current compensation, or any plans of a system to do so. However, the system is not completly without forgiveness or mercy and as such Riot has implemented a 'Leave Buster' system, which punishes players for leaving matchmade games early. So no, you wont be compensated, but they will be punished for leaving.

A: how Ender said, no, probably because people will leave the game to give that bonus to the team and then they will connect. possibly what riot should do is not to let it reconnect after a while and give the bonus.
so far the only thing you get in most cases is a bad game.

A:
So no you won't get anything from winning a 4 v 5 in terms of LP or XP. Any ways I just finished a game were yorik was afk. The only reason he was afk is because he wanted to go top but Lucian picked it first so he rage quit at level 1. I was jungle shyvana and it was a very difficult game to pull one of the most rewarding wins i had in normal games. I think that the best thing 4 v 5 games leave you is the knowledge and the confidence that you can still win. That game was all about me peeling my two adc lol! so yeah don't be discourage.

A: You must still be in the low level queue's or really bad players on 30s for your win count. So the only thing you will get compensation is satisfaction for winning a 4 v 5. It's the experience you get as you and your team pull of something remarkable and it will last long in your memory.
However, there is a bonus if you do win:

*

*You get more lp than your previous game because the game will inevitably last longer.

*You get better in the game and know how to cooperate with team mates. So teamwork on this criteria.

*Opponents may give you an honorable opponent recognition.

*Self-Esteem Boost.

This is the first step of a 6 step series for setting up your site to work with Inbound Marketing. For more information, read this introduction post.
Step 1: Do an online competitor analysis!
What is an online competitor analysis?
An online competitor analysis is a survey of what your competitors are doing online. It is a grade of their website, it's a measurement of their effectiveness online, it's research into how much they are spending for advertising, and it's a way of comparing your metrics to theirs. In short, it helps you to make sure you're better than them online (if you're willing to spend the time and money!).
Find out a competitors search rank for their pages and overall estimated monthly traffic along with statistics about who is visiting their site and what demographics they are in (you should also do this for your site).
Get your website (and competitor websites) graded on a standard marketing scale (there are several tools to do this that I'll list below).
Learn your competitors paid search budget, organic rank, and ad variations. See how much they're spending, and make a choice to outspend them if you can get a return on investment!
Actually, if we were to break it out…you should do an analysis of YOUR website first…and then compare those results to others in your field. Some tools allow you to compare sites right within the tool, so you can see how you measure up right away without having to amalgamate data.
What tools should you use?
Start with Hubspot's Marketing Grader. Use it on your site first. Fix all the holes you might have and follow their recommendations. Then get some grades for your competitors. For simplicity, take a couple screenshots of the results for each competitor so you can look back at them later.
For a bit more of a comprehensive website grade, go to WooRank.com and sign up for a free trial. Their results give you a long list of things that are good and things that are bad about your site. Once you've souped up your site, you can search your competitor sites and see how they rank too.
SpyFu will tell you all about any paid advertising your competitors are doing with relation to search. You can see how much they are spending and make decisions about how much you'd like to spend.
Alexa will give you more stats and information about your website and demographics of visitors who frequent it. Best of all, they allow you to compare your site with up to 3 competitors (with their free account).
Being informed about your competitors is one thing, and important to know so that you can succeed online and get potential customers to make the choice to go with you. But now you have that knowledge and you've probably learned about all the things that are missing on your website. It's time to stop looking in the rear view mirror and start looking ahead. You know what you need to do, so get started on doing it! Those tools can help you get ahead of your competitors.
Let us do a Competitor Analysis for you.
Your NEXT STEP is to SEO Your Website.

We can improve if we do our homework, says Vettel
AFP/Sao Paulo
Filed on November 16, 2019 | Last updated on November 16, 2019 at 03.37 pm
Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel (centre right) is seen after the second free practice at the Interlagos race track in Sao Paulo
Leclerc said he was satisfied with Friday's running
Sebastian Vettel said Ferrari can improve on their strong performance in Friday's second practice at the Brazilian Grand Prix where they were first and second.
The German four-time champion, who was fastest ahead of Charles Leclerc, said: "The car was decent today, but we can improve. I'm confident of a step forward."
"In the race, it will be difficult because others are quite a bit faster than us, but that's pretty much in line with the picture we've seen in the last couple of races so I'm not surprised," he added.
"I think we can work on ourselves and be in better shape for tomorrow. We do our homework from now and see where it takes us."
In a swipe at Dutchman Max Verstappen of Red Bull, who suggested Ferrari had been cheating after their performance slumped at the United States Grand Prix, he added that such unconfirmed claims were sad.
"It's a bit sad that generally opinion swings so quickly nowadays and it doesn't take much - it takes one and a half hours and everything is completely different and it takes one race only to make that up," said Vettel.
"But I think the main thing for us is to focus on ourselves and hopefully give the right answer on the track."
Leclerc, who is set to face a 10-place grid penalty for Sunday's race after taking a new engine, said he was satisfied with Friday's running in challenging wet and then dry conditions.
"It was a positive day in general, even though the conditions were quite tricky," he said. "But it's the same for everyone and I think we were quite competitive. So, that's good and now we look forward to tomorrow.

Thanks in advance and sorry for my English & representation of question.

A: The problem is that your Hibernate and transaction configuration is in the configuration file loaded by the ContextLoaderListener. Whereas your components are loaded by the DispatcherServlet due to the <component-scan /> in that file.
When using things like transactions those are applied through AOP. AOP is applied through post processing beans. Post processing only applies to beans in the same context, else you might get strange results.
As you haven't 2 contexts, the AOP stuff is in a different one then the actual components you want to apply AOP to.
You can either put everything in a single context or move the <context:component-scan /> to the configuration containing the transactional configuration.
Note: If you have the same <component-scan /> in the configuration file all of your components will be loaded twice and as the nearest to the component (in this case controller) is being used you have the same problem.

Q: Jquery mobile transitions first time using jquery mobile version.
why does this not work?
<div data-role="collapsible" data-collapsed="true" data-transition="Fade">

I want to onClick have the content fading in, but it does not happen, it just appears roughly and no smooth at all.
Thanks
Pluda

A: Transitions are made with new advanced features, not with javascript.
Implementing them with javascrtipt would be heavy and cumbersome. That's why they don't work in most old browsers yet. (AFAIK most browsers support them in new releases)

A: Also, the transition name should be lower case:
data-transition="fade"


YOUTH EXCHANGE IN TURKEY - CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS!!! - Noored Ühiskonna Heaks!
Noored Ühiskonna Heaks (NYH)is promoting a call for participants for a Youth Exchange called "Reading the Biggest Privilege" which will take place from 21st until 30th April 2016 in Sivas, Turkey.
The main aims of this project are gather a group of 32 young people from 5 EU countries, in order to give them opportunity to do something useful for importance of reading habit. We will carry out activities that aim to install and raise awareness in participants about the importance of reading habit as a tool to guide the youth to learning, to support social integration.
We will also show the current situation among youth and will take part in discussions about what can be done to increase the level of reading and love of reading along with the positive and negative effects of ever increasing technological improvements on reading. In addition to these informative sessions, participating youth will have chances to interact with each other in discussions, in awareness raising and book donation campaigns, in actions such as sit-downs to read, and activities to create posters and bookmarks that they will distribute in a 'let's read more' campaign in a well-populated part of the city.
Different and effective non formal learning methods will be used during the project period in order to contribute active learning. Participants will be encouraged taking part actively to all the activities and workshops. There will be collaboration activities between organizations in youth field.
This event will bring together 32 participants from Turkey, Lithuania, Romania, Estonia and Poland.. The event will be held in English. There are 6 vacancies available and participants should have minimum 18 years old until 30 years old.
The Erasmus + Programme will cover 100% of the accommodation, food and activities and will reimburse 100% of the travel costs for the participants – up to 270 euros. There will be a participation fee of 40 Eur. per participant.


Two of the questions I'm commonly asked by students when I give readings or talks at universities is, "How feasible is a career in writing?" and "Does one need to have a literature or creative writing degree to become a writer?" My answers, I'm pleased to say, are "Quite feasible" and "No" respectively.
All one needs to become a writer, in my opinion, is a strong point of view on one's subject (whether it is cricket, politics, or the novel), a love of language and of reading, and a willingness to constantly learn and improve.
In the past, it was sometimes difficult to get enough good reading material because of a paucity of bookshops and libraries. With the arrival of the internet, these can no longer be issues. Many of the world's best literary magazines and journals are now available on the internet for free. One of the websites that contributed tremendously to my development as a writer was the filter blog Arts & Letters Daily (www.aldaily.com), which links everyday to some of the best pieces about literature, history, politics and ideas being published in magazines around the world.
Writing and reading are closely linked activities. You will only be as a good a writer as you are a reader. I think the mistake that young people without a degree in literature most commonly make is not reading enough in the form in which they want to write.
To become a better reader, it is necessary to devote yourself to reading that challenges you instead of just books which you can deal with in your comfort zone. Make an investment of an hour in good-quality reading as a matter of daily discipline every day, and in five years (yes, there are no short cuts to excellence in this field!) you will find yourself a better reader and writer than 95% of people around you.
Remember, merely to become a top-notch reader is itself a rare and unusual achievement. Some of the happiest and fulfilled people I know are people who love reading, and can hear all the different notes and layers of good books. I have never seen such people bored, or short of ideas.Keep a notebook where you copy out sentences or passages from books that strike you as particularly well-written. Just like one can find out all the secrets of a human body by dissecting it, so too one can learn all the secrets of writing good, powerful sentences by copying them out and studying their architecture.
To be a writer, one also needs to have an original view of oneself and the society in which one lives. There are things about the world that you have to love intensely and hate intensely, and you can only find these things out by constantly talking to different kinds of people, reading interesting books (not just novels but also history, biography, books on religion and politics), and travelling. The beauty of being a writer is that everything one does feeds into one's work — one doesn't switch on and off as in most other professions. Sometimes (although not too often) you can even sleep for two hours in the middle of the day and call it research!
Some books by Indian writers that I would recommend as excellent models for learning how to write better are Ramachandra Guha's India After Gandhi (which will show you how to condense a huge amount of information into a few pages through careful selection of details) and The States of Indian Cricket, Mukul Kesavan's The Ugliness of The Indian Male, MG Vassanji's The Place Within (one of the best travel books written about India), Vikram Chandra's Sacred Games. You should also deliberately read some poetry, as this helps one learn how to say complex things in as few words as possible, and to hear and make use of the innate rhythms of language. I'd recommend you read the recent collection of Tamil Sangam poetry Love Stands Alone or Vinay Dharwadker's translation of the poems of Kabir.
Also read a good book-review supplement every week, such as the Guardian Review, or the New York Times Book Review, to keep in touch with the latest books in different disciplines. If you have difficulty early on getting your work published, you could start a blog where you could continuously put up new work. Always try and make your pieces as carefully written and edited as possible, though, so that the reader knows that his or her investment in your work is being respected.
Indian writing in English has progressed by leaps and bounds in the last decade, and the market for books by Indian writers has grown enormously. There are also many more opportunities for well-paid journalistic work commissioned by newspapers and magazines. I've been working as an independent, self-employed writer for nearly six years now, and I wouldn't give up the freedom and independence of my life for even the most lucrative job. So if you'd like to be a writer (or just a better reader), there's really nothing to stop you — go for it!


American legend Kevin Costner turned 64-years-old Friday.
Now, I don't usually pour a ton of admiration on celebrities. There are a million different sites out there for that if that's what you're looking for, but I will say that Costner is one hell of a great actor.
Specifically, his role as John Dutton on "Yellowstone" is one of the coolest acting jobs that I've ever seen. Costner lights up the screen in the Paramount Network show, which is why we're here right now.
You are an absolute fool if you're not watching Costner as the head of the Dutton family, essentially running Montana.
It's got everything we love. It's got action, it's got suspense, it's all about loyalty, it's about redemption and the dialogue at times is downright incredible.
Is it Costner's greatest acting performance ever? I can't say for sure, but I'm willing to have that discussion.
So, happy birthday to our guy Costner. He's 64 and still just absolutely crushing life right now. You can't ask for much more than that.
P.S.: "Field of Dreams" was pretty damn good too.


The Eyes on the Skies is an astronomical education movie (there is also a book). It is freely available to TV broadcasters (contact them for further information)." It explores the many facets of the telescope — the historical development, the scientific importance, the technological breakthroughs, and also the people behind this ground-breaking invention, their triumphs and failures".
It is presented by Dr. J, aka Dr. Joe Liske, a professional astronomer from the European Southern Observatory and host of the Hubblecast video podcast. The DVD runs for 60 minutes and contains subtitles in several languages, including spanish.
I am somehow involved, since I took part on the localization into spanish (Look at the credits).
I highly recommend the movie.I find it very well designed and produced. If you a a TV channel contact them for free broadcast. If you are an educator or amateur astronomer I highly recommend you to see it. You can also buy it on the Hubble shop. Material form that page has little cost for consumers, and it is free for members of the press, educators and observatory/planetarium/museum guides. Also, according to (at least) spanish regulations, you could also download it for free from P2P networks for personal use.
The authors gave me, for my contribution, a small number of copies for free (Thank you) that I am willing to distribute. I am particularly interested in sending them to school or astronomical educational associations. Please contact me to arrange the mailing. Better if I could send you some ~10 copies and you re-distribute it.

ABS pipe and fittings have become a leading material for DWV applications because they offer an outstanding combination of properties. Contractors have installed more than 10 billion feet of ABS pipe in residential and commercial construction. ABS pressure pipe is also available for certain industrial applications. ABS pipe is sold in 10' and 20' lengths, plus 12' lengths in Canada.
ABS pipe is available in solid-wall and cellular-core construction in Schedule 40 dimensions. These two forms may be used interchangeably for DWV applications.
ABS pipe may be used in buried or above ground DWV applications. It may be used outdoors if the pipe contains pigments to shield against ultraviolet radiation, or jurisdictions may require the pipe to be painted with water-based latex paint for outdoor use. Check with the pipe supplier for details about local regulations for this material.
Specifying ABS pipe is a relatively easy task as the pipe wall of Schedule 40 ABS DWV pipe is the same thickness as Schedule 40 (IPS) steel pipe.
Architects, mechanical engineers and builders should incorporate ABS pipe and fittings into their specifications by a reference similar to the following: "All soil lines, waste lines, vents, and building drains shall be installed with ABS pipe and fittings conforming to Schedule 40 ASTM F 628 or ASTM D 2661. All products shall bear the seal of a nationally-recognized listing or certifying agency."
ABS is recognized as acceptable for use in DWV systems in all major model plumbing codes.
ABS is available from plumbing supply houses and retail home supply stores throughout most of North America.
When properly installed in compliance with building and fire codes, ABS can be used in fire-rated construction, such as high-rise dwellings. Schedule 40 ABS DWV systems are suitable for fire-rated wall, floor and ceiling assemblies.
ABS pipe must be heated to over 871°F (465°C) before it will self-ignite. In comparison, the types of wood commonly used in home framing self-ignite around 500F (260°C). In an out-of-control fire, temperatures reach well over 1,000F (540°C), at which point all combustibles burn.
ABS DWV pipe systems typically represent less than 1% of the total combustible products in wood-frame construction. In addition, ABS DWV piping systems are installed behind walls, under floors and above ceilings; therefore, ABS pipe will melt and collapse long before it burns, preventing flame spread up vertical stacks or along horizontal waste lines.
Like all combustible materials, ABS pipe releases gaseous products when burned. Although no nationally recognized standard exists for measuring toxicity, testing indicates that gases released from burning styrene-based plastics, such as ABS, present no greater hazard than gases released from common building materials, such as the wood used in wall construction.
You can store ABS pipe and fittings either inside or outside. Protect the material from direct sunlight as exposure to the sun can cause uneven expansion. Store ABS pipe on a level support to prevent sagging or bending.
Measure pipe from bottom or shoulder of each socket into which pipe is to fit.
Cut pipe to required length, making sure cut is square.
Ream inside and chamfer outside of pipe to eliminate all burrs. Sand lightly.
Clean all dirt, moisture, and grease from pipe and fitting socket using a clean, dry cloth.
Check dry fit of pipe in fitting socket.
Apply a light coat of ASTM D2235 compliant ABS solvent cement to the inside of the fitting socket and the outside of the pipe.
Insert pipe into fitting socket, giving the pipe a one-quarter turn and making sure it goes all the way to the socket bottom.
Hold the joint together until a tight set is attained.
Check cement bead around joint; wipe excess cement from the pipe.

Pat Shurmur in the mix for Redskins OC position
Recently fired Giants head coach Pat Shurmur could be in the mix for the Redskins' vacant offensive coordinator position, a source tells 106.7 The Fan's Grant Paulsen.
One surprising name being discussed internally for the #Redskins' OC job is Pat Shurmur, I'm told. The recently fired Giants head coach is one of the names being considered in the event that Kevin O'Connell doesn't return.
— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) January 5, 2020
New Redskins head coach Ron Rivera has yet to decide on an offensive coordinator, but that hasn't stopped him from filling out other positions on his staff.
Shurmur was let go last week after the Giants finished 4-12 and outside the playoffs for the second straight season under his guidance. Shurmur went 9-23 in New York. He was the offensive coordinator for the Vikings when they advanced to the conference championship in 2017.
Minnesota went 13-3 that season with a high-powered offensive led by, coincidentally enough, Case Keenum. Rivera and Shurmur have worked together previously in Philadelphia (1999-2003), where Rivera served as linebackers coach and Shurmur coached the tight ends, offensive line and eventually quarterbacks.
Kevin O'Connell, who was promoted to offensive coordinator for the 2019 season, has already been interviewed by Rivera for the same position.
Panthers offensive coordinator Scott Turner, the son of former Redskins head coach Norv Turner, was also said to be interviewing for the offensive coordinator position, as reported on Friday by NFL Media's Ian Rapoport, who says Scott Turner could also end up as Washington's quarterbacks coach.
#Panthers OC Scott Turner is interviewing with new #Redskins coach Ron Rivera today for the vacant OC job, source said. Incumbent Kevin O'Connell is considered the favorite, but Turner, whose work impressed this year, could potentially end up as his QB coach if he's not the OC.
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) January 3, 2020
Both O'Connell and Turner's interviews have already taken place, Paulsen adds.
Former Panthers OC Scott Turner and holdover Redskins OC Kevin O'Connell have already interviewed for the job. Shurmur is the other name in the mix. Position assistants are being brought in without a coordinator named yet.
Rivera is apparently looking to reunite with much of his former Panthers staff, most of which was held over in Carolina after his December firing.
Ron Rivera getting the band back together w/ Redskins.
Ex-Panthers OL coach John Matsko and ex-WRs coach Jim Hostler hired in Washington, per league source.
— Joe Person (@josephperson) January 4, 2020
Panthers longtime trainer Ryan Vermillion also headed to Washington, per sources.

In the same time, young writers and painters in Vienna also feel that a moment of major change is approaching… It seems that the great city has become too tight for their ideas. The eponymous shot at the archduke triggers a series of events that carve themselves deep into the collective memory of all Europeans. World War One alters the perceptions of its participants, but also changes the way how to write, to paint… The despised Gavrilo, still a teenager, spends his last days in jail, not even dreaming about the possibility that some free spirits from Vienna plan his escape…

Some musicians have a knack of transporting us to dark and desperate places— the kind of places we try to avoid but never forget. Tom Waits is one; his songs bring out the sinister in all of us. Mark Linkous of Sparklehorse is another, with his gently unsettling ballads and spooky sonic experiments. Add to that list Andy Wagner.
On his latest album, Silos and Smokestacks, Wagner shuffles through damaged Americana and eerie, off-kilter folk with the haunting hopelessness of an out-of-work ghost. Supported by the lost highway production of Joshua Eustis (Telefon Tel Aviv), Wagner's slow-picked guitar and seen-too-much voice lead you down dark alleyways and dead-end streets while unexpected instruments and electronics blink at you like cartoon eyes in the pitch-black.From the crawling canyon howl of "The Shadows" to the wailing campfire incantation, "Living on the Outside," Wagner explores the nooks and crannies of solitude, sorrow, and hard days' nights.
Somewhere. Someday. Those are the key words.
