This Entrepreneur Was Sued for Hosting Events for Women
Claire Wasserman, founder of Ladies Get Paid, a career development platform, is committed to closing the wage and leadership gap. If anyone is about equity and inclusion, it is Claire.
So imagine her disbelief when she was informed last October that she was being sued for sex discrimination.
"At that point, we were hosting events in 18 cities, including San Diego," Wasserman says. "The idea was to provide a safe and comfortable environment for women—including female-identifying and non-binary people—to talk freely and honestly about the challenges they face at work."
Yet by barring men, or not offering them the same drink discounts, Wasserman's organization was unwittingly in violation of California's Unruh Civil Rights Act, which prohibits discrimination based on sex, race or sexual orientation. The law was written broadly to cover as many disadvantaged groups as possible. Too broadly, it turns out.
As the law stands, men can sue for being excluded from women-only networking events, which is what the men claimed in the actions against Wasserman (there was a second lawsuit for another event in Los Angeles.) A man has also sued the Oakland A's for not getting a sun hat on Mother's Day, and another male even sued Donald Trump (before he was president) for not getting a discount at a Rancho Palos Verdes golf course as part of a breast cancer awareness promotion.
One lawyer is behind these four specific suits (he was the plaintiff in the Oakland A's one), and he's been part of 300 or so similar anti-discrimination actions. (We are not naming him or the plaintiffs to avoid raising their profile—or being trolled.) Trump, with his deep pockets, fought back and won on the grounds that raising breast cancer awareness is for the common good. But most defendants, including Wasserman, settle. (The Oakland A's paid out $500,000, according to news accounts.)
"You have to settle because lawsuits are expensive, and if you lose you have to pay the plaintiff's costs," Wasserman explains, adding that she has no regrets about her women-only policy.

Legislators, the ACLU and others in California are talking about fixing the civil rights law; many states have provisions for disadvantaged groups. But amending laws is not easy, particularly during our polarized times.
Now that the lawsuits are behind her, Wasserman wants to focus her time and energy on helping her members—20,000 and counting—to create a more equitable society. "I'm stronger, I'm committed, and my eyes have been opened to the need for change at the public policy level," she says. "But honestly, you don't just snap out of seven months of pure stress and intimidation. I'm working on it though."
She has also changed her company's policy in California and across the country. "If there's one thing other women's groups can learn from my experience, it's that if they don't know their state's laws, they should play it safe and never promote an event as women-only or ladies' nights—especially on social media," she adds. "Sadly, there are people out there waiting for you to make a mistake."
To help defray their legal costs as well as grow Ladies Get Paid, Wasserman and co-founder Ashley Louise started a crowdfunding campaign. Learn more at their IFundWomen page.
Claire Wasserman will be leading a panel on salary negotiation at the 2018 TX Conference for Women on November 9.

No thanks, I don't want to learn


A crow was absolutely satisfied in life. But one day he saw a swan. This swan is so white and I am so black the crow thought.
This swan must be the happiest bird in the world! He expressed his thoughts to the swan.
Actually the swan replied, I was feeling that I was the happiest bird around until I saw a parrot, which has two colors. I now think the parrot is the happiest bird in creation.
The crow then approached the parrot. The parrot explained, I lived a very happy life until I saw a peacock. I have only two colors, but the peacock has multiple colors.
Dear Peacock, You are so beautiful. Every day thousands of people come to see you. When people see me, they immediately shoo me away.
I think you are the happiest bird on the planet! The peacock replied, I always thought that I was the most beautiful and happy bird on the planet. But because of my beauty, I am entrapped in this zoo.
I have examined the zoo very carefully, and I have realized that the crow is the only bird not kept in a cage. So, for the past few days I have been thinking that if I were a crow, I could happily roam everywhere!
The moral of this story is no matter what you have or don't have, where you live or don't live you always have something to be grateful for.

Puerto Rico >
Our Lady of Providence, Marian Holy card collection, ML.031 Box 28, circa 1675 - 2018. Marian Library, University of Dayton Libraries, Dayton, Ohio.
Tradition says that the devotion to Nuestra Señora de la Divina Providencia, whom is a patron saint of Puerto Rico, is rooted in scripture and is largely attributed to Mary's intervention at the wedding at Cana, which is known to be Jesus' first miracle. Mary helped Jesus succeed in this miracle through her foresight, which was out of concern to avoid an embarrassing situation for the new couple. The painting of Our Lady of Providence is depiction of Mary leaning over the Child, Jesus, who peacefully sleeps on her lap while she holds his left hand between her own hands folded in prayer. The work was created by an Italian painter named Scipione Pulzone. He called his painting "Mater Divinae Providentiae". Devotion to Our Lady of Providence originated in Italy in the 13th century and would later arrive in Spain. In 1854, the Bishop Gill Esteve y Tomás introduced the devotion of Our Lady of Providence to the Cathedral of San Juan in Puerto Rico. Bishop Gill Esteve y Tomas brought the devotion of Our Lady to San Juan due to the condition of the cathedral and the finances of the diocese in shambles. Through dedication to this devotion, the church and funds of the diocese were fully restored in less than 5 years. It was then that Bishop Esteve ordered that there be carved an image of Our Lady of Providence. On November 19th, 1969, Pope Paul VI, by signing a decree, declared her the patron saint of Puerto Rico. He then unified the celebration of the arrival of the image, which was on November 2, with the discovery of Puerto Rico, which occurred on November 19, 1493. By doing this, Pope Paul VI intended for Puerto Rico to celebrate their two greatest loves on the same day. These would be their love for their island and their love for Our Lady of Providence.

Nigeria produces oil and liquids from over 220 fields, most of which are relatively small and have an average production less than 10,000b/d. Condensate and Natural Gas Liquids (NGLs) are often mixed with crude oil at the field facilities prior to evacuation, hence it is not possible to obtain the precise split of these fractions. As a member of OPEC, Nigeria is subject to crude production quotas (NGLs and condensates are excluded from Nigeria's OPEC quota), with the main JV operators allocated a share of the country's quota. However, production has been largely unaffected by quotas – given exemptions and low cuts due to already low output – and is more impacted by crude thefts, operational issues and project deferrals.

Maverick Helmer Wins Inaugural USHJA 3'3" Jumping Seat Medal Finals – East at Capital Challenge

Upper Marlboro, MD – The Capital Challenge Horse Show hosted two major equitation championships, as well as five age group equitation divisions, on Saturday, September 30, at Prince George's Equestrian Center in Upper Marlboro, MD.
Clinching equitation final victories on the second day of the Bigeq.com Equitation Weekend were Maverick Helmer of Roanoke, VA, the inaugural winner of the United States Hunter Jumper (USHJA) 3'3" Jumping Seat Medal Finals, and Ashley Foster of Brookeville, MD, winner of the North American Adult Amateur Equitation Championships.
Helmer secured his USHJA 3'3" Jumping Seat Medal Finals-East victory after three phases of competition and a challenging work-off.
Judges Linda Andrisani and Chance Arakelian presided over the class, which attracted 39 entries over two days of competition. Following the Flat, Gymnastics, and Jumping phases, Helmer and Rachael Davis were fewer than five points apart. Therefore, they were required to work off over a second, shortened course with a tight time allowed, designed by Kenny Krome.

Davis went first and accrued five time faults, scoring a 79, and providing Helmer with the opportunity to consider his strategy. In the end, Helmer's tighter turns and quick pace scored an 80 and clinched the title without time faults.
"The work-off was really fun," Helmer said. "It tested your ability to ride at a quick pace but still required you to think and execute really well. I thought my work-off was decent. I wasn't overly pleased, but I went for it and tried to make it work as best I could. I did realize the time allowed was tight, and I saw Rachael go in and go a few seconds over the time, so I really wanted to make an impression that being under the time was really important."
Helmer, 16, credited his horse Canterbury and trainer Stacia Madden and the team at Beacon Hill for helping him to achieve success this year. He finished with a score of 477 points, with Davis as reserve champion with 474.5.
"As an inaugural class, I think it's absolutely awesome that I'm the first to win," said Helmer, a high school junior who attends Stanford University's online high school. "It's something special to keep, and of course, it's my first major championship win, so that will always be close to my heart."
Alexandra Worthington, who placed third overall, won the Jumping Phase with a base score of 92, which was the tie-breaking score that helped her place third overall. Contelido, ridden to sixth place overall by Sophie Gochman, received the Best Equitation Horse Award.
Ashley Foster Rides to North American Adult Amateur Equitation Championships Title
The win in the North American Adult Amateur Equitation Championships went to Ashley Foster of Brookeville, MD, riding Carlsberg.
The 21-year-old rider was awarded scores of 86.33 in both rounds of jumping to finish on a cumulative score of 172.66. At the conclusion of the two rounds, Caroline Ingalls of Rancho Santa Fe, CA, sat just behind Foster in the standings with a cumulative 173.33 score, after earning scores of 86 and 87.33.

With less than a point separating the top two riders, the judging panel – comprised of Linda Andrisani, Chance Arakelian, Brian Lenehan, Bobbie Reber, Danny Robertshaw, and Steve Wall – asked Foster and Ingalls to return for additional testing, before ultimately awarding Foster with the win.
"It was extremely nerve-wracking! I feel like such an old lady, because I cannot tell you how nervous I was before going in there," joked Foster following her victory.
Foster trains with her mother, Patty Foster, out of Rolling Acres Farm and is no stranger to success at the Capital Challenge Horse Show, having grown up competing at the prestigious event and earning numerous accolades there throughout her junior career. However, this year marked Foster's first time showing at Capital Challenge Horse Show since 2013, when she began attending Auburn University to study Horticulture and to ride on the school's National Collegiate Equestrian Association (NCEA) team.

"It's a lot different going into a final like this," Foster said. "There are a lot of different pressures, and I haven't done a test in awhile. It's nice to get back in there and practice a little bit more. And it's fun being here at Capital Challenge.
"I love how many people get to watch," Foster continued. "I love that there's live streaming because it's really fun to know that my friends are watching me back in Auburn. I think that's a really great thing about this horse show. I love all the enthusiasm, all the decorations, and the prizes – I think it makes it fun to show."
With Foster clinching the win, Ingalls took home the second place honor, while Allyson Blais of Boynton Beach, FL, finished in third with a cumulative score of 168.33.
Equitation weekend, presented by Bigeq.com, at the Capital Challenge Horse Show continues on Sunday, October 1, with the Palm Beach International Academy North American Junior Equitation Championships beginning at 8 a.m. and immediately followed by the Taylor Harris Insurance Services National Children's Medal Finals.

Ku Klux Klan este numele sub care sunt cunoscute mai multe organizații rasiste extremiste, dintre care prima a apărut după Războiul Civil American în 1865 în statul Tennessee (SUA). Membrii acestor organizații susțin superioritatea rasei albe și își exprimă adesea cu violență atitudinea de antisemitism, anti-catolicism, homofobie etc.

Denumirea vine probabil din cuvântul grecesc kyklos, însemnând cerc, și cuvântul clan.

Scopurile inițiale ale organizației erau aparent nobile: "protejarea celor nevinovați și neajutorați" și "ajutorarea celor oprimați". Două elemente au fost încă de la început îngrijorătoare: organizația se autointitula "Statul Invizibil", Klanul îi considera pe albi superiori populației de culoare. Din cauza acestei adversități fața de negri, organizația nu s-a putut împăca cu faptul că după Războiul de Secesiune, foștii sclavi obținuseră drepturi egale cu populația albă. Prin urmare membrii Ku Klux Klan-ului au trecut la invadarea satelor și orașelor, torturând și ucigând fără a suferi vreo pedeapsă. Oficial organizația s-a dizolvat în 1869, dar diferite grupări locale au continuat să terorizeze populația de culoare.

Klan-ul a existat în trei epoci distincte. Fiecare a susținut poziții recționare extremiste , cum ar fi naționalismul alb , anti-imigrația și, mai ales în iterațiile ulterioare , nordicismul ,  antisemitismul , anti-catolicismul , prohibiția , populismul de dreapta , anticomunismul , homofobia  .  anti-ateism ,  islamofobie, și antiprogresism. Primul Klan a folosit terorismul – atât atac fizic, cât și crimă – împotriva oamenilor de culoare activi din punct de vedere politic și a aliaților acestora din sudul Statelor Unite la sfârșitul anilor 1860. Al treilea Klan a folosit crime și bombardamente de la sfârșitul anilor 1940 până la începutul anilor 1960 pentru a-și atinge obiectivele. Toate cele trei mișcări au cerut "purificarea" societății americane și toate sunt considerate organizații extremiste de extremă dreaptă .  În fiecare epocă, calitatea de membru era secretă și estimările totalului au fost extrem de exagerate atât de prieteni, cât și de inamici.

Primul Klan a fost înființat în urma războiului civil american și a fost o organizație definitorie a erei Reconstrucției . Organizat în numeroase capitole din sudul Statelor Unite, forțele de ordine federale au suprimat-o în jurul anului 1871. A căutat să răstoarne guvernele statelor republicane din sud, în special prin utilizarea intimidării alegătorilor și a violenței vizate împotriva liderilor afro-americani. Fiecare capitol a fost autonom și extrem de secret în ceea ce privește apartenența și planurile. Membrii și-au făcut propriile costume, adesea colorate: halate, măști și pălării conice , concepute pentru a fi terifiante și pentru a-și ascunde identitatea.

Al doilea Klan a început în 1915 ca un grup mic în Georgia . A crescut după 1920 și a înflorit la nivel național la începutul și mijlocul anilor 1920, inclusiv în zonele urbane din Vestul Mijlociu și Vest . Inspirându-se din filmul mut din 1915 al lui DW Griffith , The Birth of a Nation , care a mitologizat întemeierea primului Klan, a folosit tehnici de marketing și o structură populară de organizare fraternă . Înrădăcinată în comunitățile protestante locale , a căutat să mențină supremația albă , deseori a luat o educație publică pro- Prohibiție și pro- obligatorie și s-a opus evreilor , subliniind în același timp opoziția față de presupusa putere politică a papei și a Bisericii Catolice . Acest al doilea Klan a înflorit atât în statele din sud, cât și în cele din nord; a fost finanțat din taxe de inițiere și vânzând membrilor săi un costum alb standard. Capitolele nu aveau cotizații. A folosit cuvinte K care erau similare cu cele folosite de primul Klan, adăugând în același timp arderi în cruce și parade în masă pentru a-i intimida pe alții. A scăzut rapid în a doua jumătate a anilor 1920.

În 1915 Klanul a fost reactivat în Georgia. De această dată, victimele terorii organizației erau toți cei bănuiți de liberalism, ei primind un avertisment sub forma unei cruci în flăcări. A doua dizolvare a avut loc în 1944.

Deși în SUA populația începuse să uite de Klan, la mijlocul anilor '90 organizația s-a reactivat, incendiind bisericile populației de culoare, dar acțiunile sale au avut doar un caracter local.

Your little kids are full of energy and wish to do everything, every time, all the time; it seems they never get tired, and there's a lot of excitement, enthusiasm and interest on many activities at the same time, and even when that's not something negative, it's mandatory to guide your little ones in order to achieve a balance between their enthusiasms and what's expected from them.
It's not unusual to find moms fighting with their kids because they wish to see TV when it's time to sleep; on the other hand it's also a frequent scene parents arguing with their kids because they only wish to eat candies and fast food instead of their veggies.
important than that and you will wish to keep on it as long as you can. Same thing occurs with feeding patterns and every behaviour, especially during the firsts years of live.
The challenge is to find a balance between our kids natural impulse towards different activities and rules following but still within a proper behaviour background, because even when watching TV is not a negative behaviour, doing it all day long is; then it's necessary to clearly set limits and state what's acceptable and what's not in order to "model" our kids behaviour with healthy and positive habits.
To achieve such tasks there's as many ways as parents in the world, however the most successful strategies share a common feature: predictable routines.
It's a sort of malabarism where your kids have free time to do what they love and time to follow rules, and predictable routines are the bridges to bind one part of the day with the other.
Which routine is best for your children will depend of many variables, however, regardless the one you choose, it's mandatory to follow it strictly. For example, you could state one hour of video games a day, afterwards it's "dancing time", thus when your kids listen the music, they will know video games are about to end.
At the beginning it will be hard, but once the routine is set, it will be assumed naturally. Another good strategy is to set "slowing down routines" prior to sleep.
It would be a very difficult task to get asleep if you were jumping and playing few minutes ago; but if you take a bath, drink a glass of hot cocoa and read a story, it will be easier to sleep. Repeat this routine day after day and you will realize how easy your kids will get asleep, sometimes even before the end of the storytelling!
Remember that your little ones' brains are maturing everyday and are constantly processing tons of information requiring to be classified, processed and stored, thus if you provide a solid background and a robust behavioural patterns frames, it will be easier for them to incorporate everything they learn, every new experience and each novel emotion on that frame; otherwise processing so much information and emotions will end in chaos, rendering almost impossible to set not only proper but also healthy behaviours.
Finally remember one hint: Teach with the example; your kids are more prone to do what they see you doing than what you say; so get them involved on your own healthy routines, makes of the experience something enjoyable and you will see positive results very fast.

Watch George Michael in James Corden's first ever Carpool Karaoke
Charlotte Gunn Dec 26, 2016 10:25 am GMT
Before Carpool Karaoke was even 'a thing'.
Back when James Corden was best known as Smithy from Gavin and Stacey, George Michael starred alongside him in a sketch for Comic Relief which would later form the origins of Carpool Karaoke.
The scene begins with Smithy receiving a call from Lenny Henry at Comic Relief who asks him to head to BBC Television Centre to help record a charity single. George asks if he can join him but gets turned down by Smithy on account of him being "an embarrassment". George says the real reason for his rebuttal is because Smithy doesn't "want to be seen with a gay man" and calls him – and Gavin and Stacey best mate Matt Horne – a "pair of closet bummers".
The pair then belt out a couple of Wham! hits including 'Baby, I'm Your Man' as they drive around West London.
In this very short clip, you get a glimpse of George Michael's strength of character. An ability to never take life too seriously and tackle criticism head on, were just some of the qualities that made him such an enduring and much-loved pop icon. RIP George Michael.

Every now and then, it's really nice to have family or friends around for dinner. But hosting a dinner party can take its toll on the host. There is just so much to plan for, and preparations go on even during the party itself. Usually, a host will only be able to relax after an event, which will surely take the fun out of any special occasion.
But hosting dinner parties should not be so stressful. People can make things easier for them by opting for simple yet classic preparations. So, instead of stressing out on very fancy appetizers that take hours to prepare, why not opt for meat and cheese trays? This way, you'll have more time and energy for the entree and dessert that you'll be serving.
When selecting what kinds of cheese to include, keep in mind that you should provide a selection of cheese with different textures and flavors. For instance, arrange soft cheese, like Camembert, on one section, while have some selections of firm cheese, such as Parmigiano-Reggiano or Manchego, on the opposite section. Aside from texture, try offering different kinds of cheese based on what type of milk these are made of. There is cheese made from cow's milk or goat's milk, for example. Don't forget widely liked and familiar cheese, like Swiss cheese and, of course, the all-American cheddar cheese. Brie, which is often cut in wedges, provolone, blue cheese or aged cheddar are also wonderful options.
Cheese, as we all know, goes well with just about anything. So, when serving up cheese platters, provide familiar accompaniments as well. Offer breads and crackers, as well as an assortment of fresh and dried fruits. Apples and pears are fruits that go really well with cheese. You can also provide preserves and other dips, and veggies, like caramelized onions, tomatoes, and roasted peppers. Cured meats are often served with cheese too.
There are several kinds of meats that you can readily serve on a platter. You can offer slivers of succulent cooked meat like smoked ham, grilled chicken, or roast beef. Cured meats and sausages, such as prosciutto, pancetta, and salami, are pretty popular as well. Dips also add complexity to the flavor of meat, so make sure to supply spicy barbeque sauce, mustard dips, and other apt sweet or savory condiments. You won't go wrong when you also accompany a meat platter with horseradish, capers, as well as an assortment of olives.
How Much Meat and Cheese Should You Serve?
On average, a pound of sliced meat is apt for about 6 people, while a pound of cheese will serve around 3 to 4 people. In case you are also serving other appetizers, such as veggie and fruit platters, prepare about 3 ounces of cheese per person and about a pound of meat for 8 to 10 people.
Be a bit cautious in case you're planning on serving meat trays because these need to be refrigerated. Once served, a meat tray should be good for 4 to 5 hours. After that time has elapsed, discard remaining meat or meat that has not been consumed. This way, you avoid getting sick.

VW GTI TCR RACE CAR
NEW VOLKSWAGEN GTI TCR RACE CAR MAKES U.S. COMPETITIVE DEBUT IN BMW ENDURANCE CHALLENGE AT DAYTONA
Turnkey race car comes to U.S. after success in global Touring Class Racing
Race-car shares 65 percent of components with production GTI
HERNDON, Va. (January 26, 2018) — After leading the way in the European Touring Car class for 2017, the Volkswagen GTI TCR will make its American debut today at the Daytona Motor Speedway. The #31 GTI TCR of Rumcastle Racing, with drivers Tanner Rumburg, Luke Rumburg and Jon Miller, will take its place in the field of the BMW Endurance Challenge At Daytona, part of the IMSA Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge series.
The Touring Car Racing class was introduced in 2015, and has grown to include 20 national and regional race series worldwide. The class rules specify four- or five-door vehicles, with engines of no more than 2.0 liters and 350 hp, powering the front wheels through six-speed sequential transmissions.
Last year, the GTI TCR was one of the most successful touring cars in the world; it won the "Model of the Year" award in the TCR International series, along with a driver's championship for French racer Jean-Karl Vernay. A VW GTI TCR also won its class at the VLN Endurance Championship on the Nürburgring Nordschleife.
"We're excited to see the Volkswagen GTI TCR make its first appearance on a U.S. track, especially one as historic as Daytona," said Greg Lucia, Director of Experiential Marketing for Volkswagen Group of America. "As Rumcastle Racing demonstrates, the GTI TCR puts the dream of competing in professional motorsports within reach of new teams, by offering a great value, as all Volkswagen vehicles do."
Volkswagen Motorsport offers the GTI TCR as a turn-key solution for racing teams that want factory-built quality and reliability in a package designed for performance and ease of use. About 65 percent of the parts are carried over from the production version, including the basic engine components. Visually, the Golf GTI TCR gains its competitive look through 18-inch racing rims and a version of the award-winning MQB chassis that is about 0.6 inches wider than that of the production Golf. An adjustable aluminum-alloy rear wing—standard for all TCR cars—generates additional downforce. The car's safety features include a racing seat with head protection, a racing roll cage, and an FIA-approved safety fuel tank.

The Mississippi Coast Stompers
Arts Alive - May/June 2016
A band of seasoned jazz performers continues to make their merry mark on the coast with music from bygone days that somehow never grows old.
- story by Lisa Monti, photos by Ellis Anderson
The Mississippi Coast Stompers have been making a lot of great music and collecting fans since the original group got together 10 years ago.
Founder and band leader Jim Schnur, who returned to playing music after a 40-year career in academics, said it all got started when he was asked to fill in for some musicians playing at the Silver Slipper.
"I gathered four others and we started to play two Sundays every month," Schnur said. "We've been going at it ever since. That will be 10 years in December."

The Coast Stompers recently released a new CD, "Do You Know What It Means?"
The repertoire of this talented team is mainly the traditional variety of jazz, but they also showcase the sounds that were popular during the 1930s through the 1950s.
Consider their collective resumes: They have played in supper clubs, on Bourbon Street, in elegant hotels in New York and Miami, aboard cruise ships, in the Catskills, London pubs, at the New Orleans Jazz Festival. They've played with Buddy Rich, Louie Bellson and the Dukes of Dixieland.
A few of the original members are still playing with the Stompers, including Schnur, a retired professor and dean, who plays the tuba, upright bass and sings.
Ron Simpson plays guitar and banjo. He's performed in clubs in London, Chicago, Toronto and plays every year at the New Orleans Jazz Festival.
Drummer Hugh Barlow has played jazz, fusion and rock across the country and has earned raves from top drummers for his recordings.
Sadly, the band's piano player, Ralph Martin, who played in Miami and New York hotels, as well as cruise ships in the Mediterranean, passed away recently.
But band continues to evolve with the addition of top notch musicians.
Chicagoan Chris Krueger, a retired Marine Corps band leader, plays trumpet, cornet, fluegelhorn and sings. John Hester, a retired chief bandmaster who had a career in the Navy, sings and plays trombone.
"It's a great group," Schnur said. "I'm really pleased with the musicianship of the group."
Schnur, who played trumpet early on and and got back into music playing the tuba, said he and the other band members have so much experience performing that they forego any practice sessions.
"We just get our instruments out and we play," he said. "It's all in our heads."
The Stompers songbook is heavy on traditional jazz, big band sounds and old standards with some contemporary music in the mix. Fans can easily find a lot to like when the group performs such favorites as St. James Infirmary, Fly Me to the Moon, the Girl from Ipanema and Stardust. Songs by Miles Davis are in the mix as well.
Schnur recounts an endorsement given to the Stompers by a successful local businessman who said, "I've got to go to New Orleans to get some of my friends and bring them here so they can hear some real New Orleans jazz."
The Stompers recently unveiled their first CD with a celebratory release party. The 11 tunes on "Do You Know What it Means" are all instrumentals, leaving the door open for a followup with vocals. "We'll save that for the next one," Schnur said.
If you want to buy a CD, that's easy, Schnur said. "You can come to the Silver Slipper to hear the Coast Stompers and we'll be happy to sell you one."
The Coast Stompers perform at the Silver Slipper Jubilee Buffet from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the first and second Sundays of each month (see the Shoofly Magazine Community Calendar for exact monthly dates).
The group also is available for special events such as weddings and parties, and you may have heard them play at a Second Saturday artwalk. They prefer to perform with all members, but "sometimes we break into smaller groups, as the occasion presents itself," Schnur said.

The World Walk
Why Is This Man Walking Around the World with a Baby Carriage?
April 18, 2017 Sports and Outdoors By Michael Finn
Tom Turcich walks 21 miles a day. Sometimes more; never less. For the past two years, Tom has been on a quest of Forrest Gump proportions: a walk around the world, tracing a path through all seven continents. He has three more years to go.
Since he first stepped out of his New Jersey home in 2015, Turcich has been all over the American South and South America; currently, he is kicking up his feet in Montevideo, Uruguay. We caught up with him to extract the knowledge he's gained so far on his epic pilgrimage — and to find out what the hell's up with that baby carriage he's pushing.

This Might Be the Perfect EDC Carabiner
Q: You started in April 2015. How did you prepare for this trip? How much was planned out in advance versus just winging it?
A: There isn't much of a roadmap for what I've done. A lot of people have walked across America. But long-term walking is much different than walking something like the Appalachian Trail, where you can use a backpack.
Basically, I took Karl Bushby's route from the bottom of South America up to Alaska, and then I took this other guy's route who had walked around the world in the '70s, and then basically combined them so I would hit all seven continents. I saw that some long-term walkers used a cart — a baby carriage or something to push their things so their back wouldn't be destroyed over so many years.
I got a bike trailer and was planning on hitching that to my belt or something, and then I went to this local maker's space right by my house, looking to see if anyone could modify an aluminum arm. I ended up meeting the owner; he and I became good friends. He said bike trailers aren't such a good idea, and that he'd build me a custom cart, get me some sponsors, get me in the newspaper. That was all perfect, because it's not really my personality to go talking about myself. He built the cart and got me my first sponsor: Wildfire Radio. They helped me with my website and things like that. And then we had a press conference, there were some news articles; I was on Fox and stuff like that. That got me my main sponsor, Philadelphia Sign. That set me up for long-term travel.
Q: You had a close friend who passed away several years before you began walking. How did your friend's passing influence you to go on this trip?
A: My friend AnneMarie — she was 16, I was 17. We were pretty good friends in high school. She was in a freak jet-ski accident. It was my first close experience with death. Up to that point, you're young and you think you're invincible and everything is bubbly and great — so her death was really formative for me. I remember not being able to really think clearly for like a month. Everything that I thought was set in life was shaken to the foundation. I had to rebuild to my philosophy, or build a new philosophy, knowing that you could die at any moment.
Then someone in my Speech Communications class put on Dead Poets Society. I was like, "Oh, that's it! Carpe diem." So that became my mantra, and I was trying to live it out, and toward the end of the year, I was looking for ways to travel cheaply. I googled something along the lines of "walk the world," and I discovered Karl Bushby and others who had walked around the world, and it just stuck in my head. Then it was seven or eight years of planning and trying to make it happen.
Philadelphia Sign, my primary sponsor, said they'd donate one dollar per mile walked to [AnneMarie's] scholarship fund. Her death, now, is something far off — more of an idea than anything else. But she was the catalyst. I wouldn't say I'm doing the walk for her — I'm doing it because of her passing.
Q: You've been walking for about two years now. Where has your journey taken you so far? Where are you going next?
A: I have the map planned out for the length of [the trip]. I walked from my home in New Jersey down to Georgia, over to Montgomery, Alabama, then down to New Orleans and over to Texas, entered Mexico, walked down to Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Honduras and Costa Rica, then Panama, and then from Panama City I flew over to Bogota, and then to Ecuador, then Peru, then down to Chile, then crossed the Andes into Argentina, then over to Uruguay. Those were the first two legs — North and South America.
It was really, really solitary, and when I was in it, my mind was just so blank. It took on the shape of the landscape, and one day would bleed into the next.
From here, the plan is to go over to Ireland, then possibly up to Scotland; walk down to England and mainland Europe, probably walk over to Germany and then down across France and Spain; cross the Strait of Gibraltar and then do Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia; then back up to Italy, over to Croatia, then probably walk up to Poland; then it'll be over into Russia and Kazakhstan, Mongolia and into China a little bit, and then across Australia — I'll be doing a long walk in Australia, I don't know all the details yet; and then the last leg will be from California to back home. A six-month-long victory lap in the U.S.
Q: You're flying too, though, right?
A: There are separate legs, if you want to call them that. So the first leg was New Jersey to Panama City, then because of the jungle there, I flew over to Bogota for the second leg. In between legs, I fly.
Q: Of all the places you've been so far, which has left the biggest impression on you?
A: I guess I'd have to say the first country out of the U.S., which was Mexico. I had been abroad before, but it was just to Europe. Going into Mexico and not speaking the language, and people living very differently — I just had to adapt so much. The first week or so near the border was super stressful. Not really being able to communicate with anyone, not being able to trust anyone, seeing the constant police and military presence. People would say to me, "Why are you walking around here? I don't walk around here." After I got further into Mexico, I was able to relax. Feeling the start of the world walk, and getting my legs for it, was a great feeling.
But every place has its effect on me. Colombia was incredible. I'll definitely be going back. In Peru and Chile, I was in the desert for, like, four months. That really affected me. I hit a town maybe once every three days. It was really, really solitary, and when I was in it, my mind was just so blank. It took on the shape of the landscape, and one day would bleed into the next. At night, there'd be millions of stars overhead. It was pretty intense.
A post shared by Tom Turcich (@theworldwalk) on Dec 22, 2016 at 1:24pm PST
Q: Have you had any crazy near-death experiences?
A: I had a guy in Panama City stick a knife to my neck. I sat down for breakfast in this kinda shady area that I shouldn't have stopped at, and suddenly I felt something cold on my neck, and I look up, and this guy with red eyes and stringy hair was looking down on me. I jump up, and then he starts coming after me with the shiv, and we go back into this convenience store, this Chinese couple was yelling at me trying to get me to leave, and this guy's still got the knife. After a minute or so, something went off in this guy's head, and he took off. I went back outside, and there's a crowd out there. They're all pointing down an alleyway, and this other guy had taken my backpack. Amazingly, the police got him, and they were throwing him against the wall with my backpack and my passport, [my dog's] paperwork and my laptop. Thankfully I got away with everything.
Q: What's the benefit of seeing the world on foot?
A: First of all, the first four months were really, really meditative. When you walk, you look within yourself a lot, and I think that's an important part of traveling. A lot of people who travel do it for reflection. Walking is the best way to reflect on your life and where you want to go.
Beyond that, it's the truest way to get to know a country. I passed through these little towns where they haven't seen a white guy maybe ever. I remember walking through Mexico and I didn't see another white person for four months. Then I got to Lake Atitlán in Guatemala, and all of the sudden I'm in this town with all these gringos, and I couldn't relate to them. You're much, much more immersed, versus just bouncing from destination to destination.
From my perspective, when I arrive at these "destination" areas, the travelers there are getting this modified version of what the country is actually like. They're getting the Americanized version. Whereas if you're out there in the jungles of Colombia, and you find this little restaurant, you're getting the real thing.
Q: What's the most surprising thing you've learned about the world?
A: The world is bigger than it seems. Especially related to the urban-sprawl, reach-of-man kind of thing. There's still a lot of the world that's totally untouched. When you're reading the newspapers, you get the impression that it's so hard to find an unaffected area. And really, most of the world is unaffected. You just have to go there.
Tom Turcich's World-Walking Essentials
Cascadia 12 Trail Running Shoes by Brooks $130
"Since I'm mostly just walking on roads, I don't need any serious support like hiking boots. I'm not stepping on weird angles. I just wear sneakers, and they usually last about a month or so — 600 or 700 miles."
Cougar One-Child Carrier by Thule $483
"It's this hyper-engineered baby carriage with insane suspension. I could easily push a hundred pounds and it'd handle it, no problem. Really, it's the only option if you're going to go long-term walking. You could do it with a backpack, but to bring enough gear to live comfortably and to not destroy your back, you gotta have the baby carriage."
Metal Vent Tech Short Sleeve by Lululemon $68
"It has silver thread in it, so it doesn't smell. That's actually super important, because if you're wearing synthetic, it ends up smelling really bad. If you're wearing cotton, it gets hot and heavy and uncomfortable."
UltaMid 2 by Hyperlite Mountain Gear $715
"Until Argentina, I was using a Hyperlite Mountain Gear tent. I had that for almost two years, and it was amazing. I'd love to get another one. But I switched it up to an MSR Hubba NX."
Project Fi by Google Learn More
"I'd recommend Project Fi a thousand times over. It's the greatest thing ever. The service is fantastic."
Sherpa 100 Power Pack by Goal Zero $300
"I used to have two sixty-watt Goal Zero solar panels that I laid on my cart, but in the Southern Hemisphere, the sun is at my back, so it loses a lot of its efficiency. So I just gave those to a Colombian family. But I still use Goal Zero's Sherpa battery. With that, I'm able to charge up whenever I stop at a restaurant or something like that."

With focus on Bakken, Hess sells out of Utica for $400M
By Luke Geiver | June 29, 2018
In a deal designed to enhance its opportunities in the Bakken, Hess Corp. is selling out of the Utica shale. For $400 million, Ascent Resources—Utica LLC is acquiring the Utica assets owned and operated by Hess.
The deal includes nearly 39,000 acres, 26,000 of which are undeveloped acres. Roughly two thirds of the 14,000 barrels of oil equivalent produced from the acreage is in the form of residue gas.
"We continue to focus our portfolio by divesting lower return, non-core assets as part of our strategy to deliver long term value to shareholders," CEO John Hess said. "Proceeds from this transaction will be used to invest in our higher return growth opportunities in Guyana and the Bakken," he said, "and to fund the company's previously announced share repurchase program."
In addition to the Utica sale, Hess also said it will retain interests in Denmark. Previous offers for the acreage in the South Arne Field did not meet the company's expectations.
Earlier this year, Hess detailed a new completion strategy that has helped the operator increase production in the Bakken 12 percent compared to the previous year's production rate.

How to stay safe in thunderstorms and lightning
12:20 pm on 13 August 2019
Much of the North Island has been hit by thunderstorms over the last two days - and with the chance of more today, here's what you should - and shouldn't - do.
The aftermath of the tornado in St Heliers, Auckland, on Sunday night. Photo: RNZ / Claire Eastham-Farrelly
Central Auckland was hit by a huge thunderstorm, for a second night, following the tornado that ripped through St Heliers on Sunday.
And yesterday morning in New Plymouth a tornado slammed a woman into the side of her house leaving her with a suspected broken collarbone.
The storms formed in the Tasman Sea over the past few days, and some moved onto northern and central parts of the country bringing the strong wind gusts, lightning and thunder, brief heavy rain and hail.
Weather commentator Richard Green told Morning Report there was a chance of more thunderstorms today - though less severe - in Northland, Auckland, Waikato and Taranaki.
According to NIWA principal scientist Chris Brandalino the first rule of thunderstorms is to stay inside - and if you're outdoors, stay off the water and take care where you shelter.
Stay inside
If you have to go outside "you're rolling the dice", says Chris Brandalino. "Your best scenario's just to wait it out."
If you're outside, stay away from the water - and lone trees
"Lightning is lazy, it goes for the tallest thing out there. So if you're on the water, odds are you're the tallest thing out there, or your boat is anyway.
"You don't want to be in an open field, because again you're the tallest thing out there.
"You don't want to seek shelter under a lone, single tree, because odds are potentially lightning could strike that tree."
Avoid showers, ignore the landline
When you're inside a building there are a few things to remember. Stay away from windows - it's safer to be in the interior part of the room.
Avoid showers and baths. Water generally has ions that can attract or conduct electricity, so don't take a showers or bath while there's lightning, in case it strikes the house.
You can answer the cellphone but ignore the landline, he says. "Thunderstorm hits a telephone pole - that can go through the landine and impact you. With cellphones, obviously that's not an issue."

"A lot of it's common sense" - NIWA principal scientist Chris Brandalino
Tornadoes and strong wind
"You basically want to be in a well built interior part of your room," says Chris Brandalino. That could be even be a bathtub or closet.
"It's not the winds that kill people or injure people during a tornado it the flying debris," he says.
"If things get real gnarly, if winds get really intense - a basement is the safest place to be."
If you don't have a basement, and there's enough time, then grab a mattress or pillows and head to the bathtub and put them over your head.
The tornado in Taranaki on Monday morning showed what could happen in a localised storm, he says.
"Small tornados can cause damage - its just in a small area."

1. Essay Topic: The Cultural Resilience of the Abalogoli in the Quaker Church in Nairobi, by Emmy Mwenesi Gichinga, Kenya, submitted October 2005.
This essay examines the cultural resilience of the Abalogoli (one of the seventeen Abaluyia sub-groups of Western Kenya) in the Quaker Church in Nairobi. The theoretical framework of the essay is grounded in the Continuity theory of Atchley in which he says that as people grow through their cycle of life, there is the tendency to preserve continuity in what is dear and core to them.
The methodology applied for data collection includes administration of a questionnaire, use of a structured interview and participant observation. The results of the field data analyzed using the SPSS software overwhelmingly point to the fact that culture is very resilient and cannot be completely eradicated by external forces, however strong those forces may be.
The recommendation of the essay is that anybody entering into another culture must understand and appreciate the very deep meaning people in that culture attach to their values, beliefs and practices; and that there will be covert and overt resistance to new values, beliefs and practices being introduced by an external force. Additionally, there may be changes and modifications incumbent on what is considered beneficial or compatible to the culture. Consequently, the study has shown that there is no need for fear by present and future generations of complete loss of their culture .if a cultural group carefully and systematically imparts cultural knowledge to their young people, their unique traditions are carried on almost without their realizing it.
2. Thesis Topic: African Traditional Therapies as Protection Against Conflicts and Problems of Social Change: A Comparative Study of Agikuyu Youth in Mathare and Endarasha Locations, by Patrick Mbataru Nyambari, Kenyan, submitted August 2004.
This work looks at the relevance of African traditional practices in protecting the youth against conflicts and problems brought upon the young Agikuyu people by social change. Interview method was used to collect data on values and attitudes regarding the practices.
Although the selected practices namely tradition healing, marriage, family life and kinship, bridewealth, naming and initiation are still practiced and play a role in formative and accommodating social change among the Agikuyu youth, there is need to promote them through affirmative action like incorporating some of their aspects into the educational training and counseling programs in school and religious organizations.
The practices have undergone changes and in some cases only some vestiges remain but their deeper meaning to the African people is still relevant. It is upon the remaining elements that we could reconstruct those practices we think could be of use in contemporary Kenya and Africa in general.
3. Thesis Topic: The Notion of Community Involvement in African Indigenous Marriage: A Case Study of Nairobi, 1997-2000 by Michael Boni Bazza, Nigerian, Kenya Resident, submitted November 2001.
This research is a sociological exploration of the notion of Community Involvement in African Indigenous Marriage. The main observation is that individualism is a major factor responsible for lack of community involvement in marriage. This can be said to be a contributing factor to the deteriorating situation in family values, hence creating enormous problems for the community at large. The core location of the research is Nairobi, an area where people of different ethnic, social and religious groups co-exist. It has aptly been described as an intricate blend of Western, African and Asian influence.
The Thesis looks at the attitudes towards marriage in the different socio-economic classes namely, upper, middle and lower. The research also recommends the importance of community involvement in African marriage. It concludes that in the midst of the changes taking place in a contemporary society like Nairobi, there is still hope of reconciling modern and traditional marriage relationships because traditional marriage has its rich communal dimension to offer the modern individualistic relationships.
4. Thesis Topic: The Vocation and Training of the Asante Priestess and its Relevance for African Women Religious by Paulette Ankrah, Ghanaian, submitted May 2001.
This thesis seeks to address the possibility of African women religious confidently identifying themselves as indigenous religious within their own cultural context. A logical place to begin would be during the stage of formal formation in religious life. Therefore, the study attempts to explore the vocation and training of the traditional African religious priestess as a relevant tool for African women religious in their effort to renew and reshape the institution of religious life.
The study focuses on the Akan, particularly the Asante local religious institution of priesthood referred to as Akomfo as an appropriate model. The project involves a broad sampling of the society: old and young Christians and non-Christians, Catholic religious Sisters, priestesses and priests. Consequently, a major part of the study consists in reporting and discussing the material gathered from field work.
The study delves into the essence of the call, response, manner and stages of preparation and commitment of both the priestesses and women religious. It highlights similarities and differences, and explores existing relationships. It explores and analyses the perceptions of religious life among women religious and the local people to see how far they would identify it with that of traditional priesthood and obstacles hindering the process of articulating religious life in local categories. The research finally considers the practical models in the local culture as assets which could help in the people's understanding of religious life and concretely present it in the cultural reality and understanding of the African people.
It is hoped that this Asante traditional religious institution will offer to women religious what may serve as a useful latent model in their efforts toward the realization of the vision of true Inculturation of religious life in Africa. Religious themselves need consciously choose to become more active, committed agents of Inculturation.
5. Thesis Topic: An Evaluation of Small Christian Communities' Viability and Effectiveness in St. Joseph's Kangemi Catholic Parish - Nairobi by Wairimu Churu Ebalé, Kenyan, submitted April 1999.
This study seeks to resolve the issues surrounding the possibility of the survival of the Church and Christianity in the midst of the dramatic and often tragic events that characterize the experiences of life in the modern African city. Small Christian communities are perceived by some as a possible solution to the questions of building authentic African Christian Church. This study tries to put the common Christian experience at the center of the concerns, questions and answers to the problems of the Church.
Taking the example of the Catholic Church in one city parish in Nairobi, Kangemi, I delve into the contribution that Small Christian Communities are making, the efforts they are putting into these contributions, their potentialities in these crucial concerns, as well as the hindrances they suffer along the way.
The most important tool employed in this thesis project is involvement of the lay Christians in asking the questions and attempting answers to the predicament of the present and the future. Most of the bulk of this study is made up of the answers that informants gave to questions in interviews with the writer. The conclusions and summaries reaffirm the conviction that the future lies with the Christian community, with all its questions and answers, its problems and solutions, its needs and resources, howsoever poorly the balance seems maintained between these pole-ends. The most important finding of the study is that the community must continue to be engaged in the questions that face the Church daily; indeed the questions of the people must become more and more the central questions of the Church, and this can only be done by letting the people take their proper central place in the Church. This study observes that it is the community that holds the key to the future progress of the Church, and the only real answers will be those that are found by the community in its communal search for ways of contributing to healing and wholeness of life in Africa.
6. Thesis Topic: Spirituality of Struggling Women in Bura-Tana Kenya by Anastasia Lott, American, Kenyan resident, submitted September 1997.
This research is an interdisciplinary exploration of the concept of the spirituality of women in difficult circumstances as an area of African religious expression, applying anthropological and sociological methodologies. It demonstrates how an underlying spirituality facilitates women's survival and struggle in difficult situations. The locus of the research is Bura-Tana, Kenya, an area severely affected by drought and the failure of a government irrigation scheme and where many different Kenyan ethnic groups reside. It considers women of various ages and ethnic groups.
Women endure a very harsh life because of their concern for their children and their faith in God. Life is a gift for them, a sign of God's presence with them and concern for them. In the midst of their life in a physical, cultural and moral desert, the women reflect hope and the resilience of the human spirit.
