Marian McPartland
Marian McPartland has made jazz piano duets into something of an art form. Sure, it's been done before, but not very often. There are the Pete Johnson/Albert Ammons duet sessions that made both boogie pianists stars, but save for the occasional live performance where a couple of luminaries may have sat in together to present a finale to a concert, there aren't that many examples in the jazz canon. In the 20 or so years that she's hosted her program Piano Jazz on National Public Radio, Marian McPartland has done her level best to boost the profile of this neglected jazz instrumental format. "Somehow" McPartland tells me during a phone interview from San Francisco, where she's playing with her trio at Yoshi's, "I've always been associated with either two or four pianos. The first gig I ever had years ago was a four piano act in England, where we performed in vaudeville all over the country."
McPartland was born in England on March 20, 1918, and was playing piano by ear from the time she was three years old. At the age of seventeen she was accepted by The Guildhall School of Music. There she studied composition and music theory in addition to her piano playing, obtaining a firm grounding in classical piano technique that shows in her playing to this day. But McPartland wanted to play jazz. She auditioned for a popular English pianist, Billy Mayerl, and was offered a job. Her parents were not happy with her decision to go on the road, but Marian could not be swayed, and finally they relented. "I do know a lot of young musicians" she says, "we talk occasionally and one of their big things seem to be that their parents want them to be in some other business, you know, and mine did too, but I didn't let that stop me. That's the main thing is be persistent. If you want to do it you've got to really get into it, you can't just halfway do it and have a day job and play a few gigs here and there, you've just got to really get into it."
Marian really got into her musical career, even though she wasn't always playing jazz. Once Mayerl's four piano act broke up, she continued to work in vaudeville and accompanied singers until World War II, when she joined ENSA, the English equivalent of the USO. By 1944 she had joined up with the USO, traveling to France and Belgium, where she met cornetist Jimmy McPartland, her future husband. She has written that during her tours with McPartland's group playing for GI s on the front lines she learned a lot of the things she needed to know to be a professional jazz pianist, including how to accompany soloists and a great deal of the standard repertoire. She and Jimmy were married in Aachen, Germany, on February 4, 1946. Soon thereafter, they came back to the States and lived in Chicago, which McPartland refers to as her second home. Jimmy is, of course, known as one of the originators of the "Chicago jazz" style. The University of Chicago's Jazz Archive contains a large collection of photographs, correspondence, and recordings made available by the McPartlands that tell the story of an important time and place in the development of jazz. Marian appeared at the University's Mandel Hall on October 20, 2001 in a tribute concert for Jimmy, who passed away in 1991. The event will featured Marian and a group of musicians playing music associated with Jimmy, including some who played with him. "We've done this before a few years ago, playing all of Jimmy's recorded music and generally having a good time recalling jokes and funny things that we said to each other."
The couple moved to New York in 1949, and there she continued to be exposed to all of the great jazz artists of the day. She played her first trio engagement at a club called The Embers, and in 1952 began what became an eight-year stint at the famed Hickory House. By then the trio included drummer Joe Morello, and bassist Bill Crow, who are widely known for their work with Dave Brubeck and Gerry Mulligan, respectively. The trio was named "Small Group of the Year" in 1955 by Metronome magazine. Marian became an established jazz and club pianist; since the Hickory House was located on 52nd Street musicians were always among those in attendance. These often included the likes of Duke Ellington, Oscar Peterson, Billy Strayhorn, and Benny Goodman, as well as one of McPartland's influences, Mary Lou Williams. "Well, I always admired Mary Lou; she's really one of my role models. I always wanted to be able to swing as hard as she did. That was something she could do no matter what the rhythm section was like, and I loved her creativity, she always wanted to be on the edge. Every time I heard her she would be doing something different harmonically. All her compositions are really interesting things." McPartland and Williams stand side by side in Art Kane's famous 1958 Great Day in Harlem photograph.
The trio recorded some classic sides for Capitol, which remain mysteriously unavailable at this time, though a Savoy reissue of some live dates entitled On 52nd Street is available on CD. The group reunited for some weekend gigs at Birdland in the Fall of 1998, and those performances can be heard on the Concord disc Reprise.
On Dec.31, 2009, Marian was awarded an "Order of the British Empire" (the highest British honor other than "Dame") by the Queen for distinguished service to Great Britain.

External Factors of Franchising: How do these affect your business?
As many of you know, the best business models with the largest consumer base, can unexpectedly fail, and it's not because they have made a mistake internally within the business, it's because they weren't aware of the external factors that could affect them. Think back 10 years when you wanted to watch a movie - where would you go? Blockbusters. This is a perfect example of how a successful business, which many considered too much of a necessity to fail, would ultimately die a quick death. The main reason Blockbusters failed isn't because other companies such as Netflix or Amazon prime came about, it's because they didn't follow the technology shift that occurred worldwide. Imagine if Blockbusters invested in Internet Services at the same time as Netflix; do you think people would've been drawn to a new, unheard of company or one they have trusted and invested in for such a long time?
Is Technology the Future of Franchising?
The short answer is yes, but this doesn't represent franchising alone; technology is impacting everyone's lives more and more, and the majority of us are blissfully unaware. Blockbusters is a chief example of how missing a new technology platform or alteration can be the end of a company; but, do you think this will be the last one to go for that reason - I highly doubt it. New technologies such as driverless automobiles, Smartglass, Internet of Things and courier drones all pose a potential and extremely real threat to existing franchises. How are the Courier Franchises going to adapt if a competitor has a fleet of drones that can deliver the same parcels, but at a fraction of the cost? Or, if drones aren't the answer, what happens when a competitor has a fleet of autonomous vehicles that can deliver the same parcels without the need for any drivers? The Courier Franchise Industry isn't the only industry that going to be hit by technology changes but, as you can see, technology is becoming increasingly diverse in its ability to do the same tasks as human, but somewhat more efficiently and potentially cheaper.
Is Brexit going to damage my Franchise?
Brexit is something that every Briton will be aware of, but does this mean it is going to affect you and your business? Well it all depends on what you do. As with most external factors, some just simply won't affect anything you do, others however, might make you completely shift how you operate. Brexit will hit some businesses hard; for example, if your franchise is supplied by the international community, the influx of exchange rates will ultimately lower your profit margin. For other businesses however, Brexit may have a positive effect; with lower performance of the Sterling, we are expecting to see an increase in tourism, so for businesses that are influenced by tourism, Brexit may be a welcomed change. Brexit is going to affect a lot of different businesses, as seen above, and this can either be positive or negative so you will need to analyse how it is going to affect your chosen franchise.
Politicians choose the rules that we live by and therefore ultimately dictate the rules that businesses work by, so yes, that influences business and unfortunately sometimes there's nothing as a business you can do to prevent it. This means that you need to be aware of any upcoming legislation that might affect your business. What happens when you have a lot of workers on minimum wage and they increase the national minimum wage limit? How do you adapt to a tax increase in petrol when you operate a large fleet of vehicles? What happens when laws change on the training required for somebody to take care of children and all your 150+ staff need to be retrained? Now fortunately, these new laws often are welcomed by most as they are intended to improve Britain as a whole, this however, doesn't necessarily mean it will improve your business. Policy changes don't happen overnight, so you should have enough time to adapt your business to keep it running and potentially gain in strength where others didn't adapt quick enough.
All the above examples can be combatted if you are aware of these factors before they are going to happen and if you plan accordingly you can make it a potential strength for your business. These are just a few external factors that could impact your business, so if you haven't seen something here that's going to impact yours then keep searching for it, because I can assure you there is something out there that you should be aware of.
This is Start Your New Franchises first blog about External Factors of Franchising, we shall be releasing more as they're many topics to cover, so if you want to read any future articles then please subscribe below.


While there are many different causes of offshore accidents, none are quite as catastrophic as an actual collision at sea. Below, we explain some of the most common types of maritime collisions.
Bow-On Collision: This occurs when two vessels hit one other head-on, from their front ends. This can be attributed to the forward propulsion of the vessels without the ability to brake, and can be often linked to human error, equipment failure, or adverse weather conditions. For example, the "rules of the road at sea" defined by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) state that when approaching head-on, a vessel must alter its course to the starboard (right side) so that it can successfully pass on the port (left). If the ship(s) do not alter their course to avoid one another, it could lead to a bow-on collision.
Side Collision: There are several situations where collisions can occur when a vessel is struck on its side. For instance, two vessels could approach one another in a "T" pattern. Collision rules defined by the IMO state the vessel which has the other on its starboard side must give way to avoid crossing. This rule, however, is not always followed—leading to "T-bone" type accidents. In other cases, there could be a mooring failure that causes a vessel to be blown by wind and waves into an obstruction.
Stern Collisions: Collisions where a vessel is hit near the stern (rear) can cause severe damage. This rear-end maritime collision can occur when one vessel is overtaking another. Per collision rules, overtaking occurs when a vessel is approaching another at more than 22.5 degrees abaft the beam. When this occurs, the rules states that the overtaking vessel needs to stay out of the way of the vessel being overtaken. This, however, does not always occur. If crew members are not paying attention, the overtaking vessel could simply run straight into the vessel being overtaken. Another incident where a collision involving the stern can occur is when a vessel (such as a freighter) is backing down a river or canal. While this is less common, it can still occur when reckless pilots or strong currents are involved.
Allision:Accidents classified as an allision occur when a moving object runs into a stationary object; for example, an accident where a vessel runs into a bridge abutment, fender, or even a seawall. Per the Oregon Rule, in cases of allisions, the moving object is presumed at fault and has the burden of proving an alternate theory where the stationary object was at fault for the accident.
At Arnold & Itkin, we have seen firsthand how these nautical accidents can cause severe damage to the lives of the injured. If you have been involved in a maritime collision—regardless of the type—it is important that you seek qualified legal assistance as soon as possible.

How to Build a Cult Following for Your Law Firm
Published Date November 17, 2021
Author Clare Robertson
Cults get a bad rep.
But let's think about it for a second. Are they really all that bad? Don't we have modern day cults of a different kind?
While you might be picturing some "classic" cult behavior such as Charles Manson and his determined devotees, David Koresh and his Waco wackies, or Beyonce and her BeyHive bandits, that's not what we're talking about here. We're not talking about this type of cult:
We're talking about this type of cult:
Take a look at Apple, for instance. People sleep overnight in the rain, snow, sleet, and hail, just for the chance at grabbing the latest iPhone before anyone else has a chance to. Is this just a phone?
Or what about IKEA? This is a furniture store where people go for dinner, specifically for the meatballs. Quality family time and memories are made in the cafeteria of this furniture showroom.
And one of the greatest cults of all: sports. Head to Athens, Georgia on gameday and you'll find plenty of grown men screaming at one another with their heads painted in true UGA Bulldog fashion.
What do all of these different entities have in common?
Bingo: people know them and they have a following.
Law firms around the country have created the same type of brand — the kind people choose as their party theme, Halloween costumes, and hot sauce of choice.
Wake up, people. It's time to build a cult for your law firm.
We don't believe in anyone drinking the literal Kool-Aid, but we do believe in finding your perfect, ideal audience and building and representing that community so faithfully that your followers don't ever want to use resources from any other firm.
It's not enough anymore to have an audience, or even a community. A cult following is the only way to accelerate your business to something you've never thought possible. How do you do this? Three simple steps:
Develop Your Dogma
Find Your Followers
Spread Your Gospel
Want to see Michael Mogill's full Game Changers Summit 3 keynote presentation on this very topic? You're in luck! You can access the full replay of "Building a Lovable Brand Cult Following" on demand now!
A quick vocabulary lesson for those who haven't had to study for the SAT in a few years: DOGMA (n.) is a principle or set of principles laid down by an authority as incontrovertibly true.
Basically, the dogma of your brand represents everything in which you believe. Since your brand is a part of you, it must be authentic. Adopt principles that you live by even when you're not working with clients.
And make sure they are truly unique.
There are 1.33 million lawyers in the United States. That figure equates to 1 lawyer for every 250 people. If you come back and read this article again in another three months, that number will likely increase once more.
Guess what? You're competing with every single one of them — not to mention the millions of household names that are also vying for consumer attention.
How do you stand out?
Let's take a look at competing companies in other industries:
Whole Foods vs. Safeway: Whole Foods has made a commitment to selling healthy, organic items. Safeway has not.
Delta vs. Frontier: Delta has won pretty much every award available for airlines. Frontier… not so much.
Apple vs. Microsoft: Shall we revisit the devotees who sleep outside the night before huge tech drops at Apple? People physically can't even do that with Microsoft since they had to close all of their store's doors.
The theme here is that the more successful businesses have taken a stand. They have created a common enemy that their followers can rally behind. This is what you must do to create the cult following you desire.
Studies show that 77 percent of consumers buy from companies that share the same values as they do.
So what makes you unique? What do you stand for?
Think back to when you decided to become a lawyer. There are plenty of other professions out there that could have brought you happiness, and probably at much lower stakes. Did you do it because you witnessed injustice as a child and now want to rid the world of evil (Batman style)? Or did you do it because of a natural calling to help people live better lives?
Whatever your reason, it informs the values you live by and the one-of-a-kind experience you bring to the clients you represent. We call this magic combination your Unique Value Proposition. Own it. Become it. Tell that story to your clients and show them why they should choose you to help them solve their problems over any other lawyer on the Internet.
To do this, you must determine your values. Ask yourself:
What problem do I solve?
What annoys and frustrates me?
What breaks my heart and makes me sad?
Why should someone choose me?
The legal landscape is always changing. The playing field has never been more crowded, making it even harder to stand out. You must differentiate and show your value and purpose to clients. Connect with them in a way no one else can. Share your story and why your firm is the obvious choice for their needs.
Take Joe Fried, for example. 15 years ago, Joe realized that there wasn't a specific category for truck injury law, but these cases were completely unique and catastrophic. The industry needed an expert — so he became one himself.
Joe made a commitment to learning more about trucking than anyone else in the industry, and has since reaped the benefits. He has litigated cases in more than 35 states, giving him an unmatched perspective, and his leadership in the field of truck crash law and trucking safety is second to none.
People know Joe. People trust Joe. Joe is the trucking accident lawyer.
Joe created a following — that's obvious. But where did he get this following? It's not like it just happened overnight, right?
He did what a lot of lawyers miss out on doing.
Whether or not you'd like to admit it, your followers are on social media.
While you might be thinking, "But I don't cater to millennials. My clients aren't on social media!" Think again — the data proves it.
Digital media usage is accelerating every year. Even firms who specialize in elder law: the Baby Boomer children of your elderly clients are on social media, and their grandchildren are even more so. You can still reach your desired audience.
If you've made a Facebook Business Page and hoped for the best, you likely haven't seen much of anything come from that. This is because organic reach is dead. You've got to pay to play.
Even if you're starting from scratch, you need to pay to reach specific audiences. Even if the word "pay" frightens you, just remember that paying for ads to find your ideal clients is considerably more cost effective than sticking to old school organic reach.
Let's take a look at the way we advertised for the Game Changers Summit 3 for a moment. Just in the last year, we generated over 2 billion impressions, almost 800 million views, and over 8 million clicks. Those are some pretty serious numbers, and they wouldn't be anywhere near that high if it weren't for paid ads and finding our followers.
It's no secret that video significantly outperforms every other type of ad on social media. One step that many advertisers are forgetting to take, though, is formatting their video content properly. A video on Facebook that has a specific length and dimensions won't look the same as it would on Instagram or LinkedIn or YouTube.
For this reason, you must format your content for the platforms you want to advertise on in order to maximize your reach. It might need to be broken down into a 30 second video, or 15, or even a 6 second bumper ad for YouTube — not to mention some platforms require either a rectangle or square orientation.
All of these factors should be taken into consideration.
Effective frequency is a phrase you need to incorporate into your vocabulary. It's the number of times a consumer needs to be exposed to an ad message before the advertiser gets the desired response.
Though you'd probably appreciate a set answer to said number, in reality it takes what it takes.
The path it takes for a consumer to become one of your clients is much more complex than it used to be. In today's day and age, it goes more like like this:
They see your ad on Facebook
They see another one on YouTube
They drive by your billboard
They hear your ad on the radio
One day, they have a legal need and remember your name
They Google your brand
THEN they become your client
The truth is that only about 3 percent of your target market are prepared to hire you on the spot. Most people go that twisty, turny route and then eventually look you up when they one day need an attorney. But if they never hear of you, you never connect with them, they never come to identify with your firm's values…how will they know who to call when they finally have a legal need one day?
If you believe in the work you do and are committed to positively impacting as many people as possible, then it is your duty to advertise everywhere you can relentlessly.
If you think you're doing too much when it comes to advertising, you aren't doing enough.
It's time to shift your mindset when it comes to social media and advertising in general. The wrong thing to think is, "I hope this place gets me leads." It won't. You have to put in the work in order to make it happen.
What you need to be thinking is, "I hope my content is helpful to my ideal client and they'll remember me down the road when the need arises."
Your content needs to be everywhere. You want people to dream about your business while they sleep so that the second a need for a lawyer arises, you're the first person that comes to mind. Don't even let them attempt the Google search for anyone other than you.
If you have a clear vision and a way to bring it to life, why wouldn't you be advertising everywhere under the sun? Do it the right way by being relentless with your approach, and your followers will come.
The Next Level: Your Client Experience
The difference between any old cult and the kind they make documentaries on is all about the experience the members have. When you put this in terms of your law firm, your client experience is everything.
Crisp was nothing until we became obsessed with building the perfect experience for our clients. Once we made our partnership something law firm owners knew they couldn't live without, they naturally became ambassadors and evangelists for us. They believed in our vision so strongly that there was nothing anyone else could do to convince them otherwise.
The worst experience they could possibly have is the same experience they would get in any other cult.
When you see people wearing T-shirts and babies in onesies that have a brand name or phrase plastered all over it, why do you think that is? Are they doing that simply because they like the shirt? Maybe, but more importantly they align with the values of the organization. If you took the same shirt but put the name of a business/person/place that they can't stand, they almost certainly wouldn't wear it.
In Cult-clusion
No one said building your cult following would be fast or easy — but isn't that why people build them in the first place? The leaders had a vision for making the world a better place, wanted to get people on board, probably got laughed at in the beginning, but stuck with it and eventually got the outcome they wanted.
The only difference here is that with your law firm's cult following, you're going to change their lives for good.
Become an organization that someone would be proud to tell a friend about. Convince them that there simply is no other option for all of their legal needs unless they work with you and only you.
Once you get your followers to identify with your values, you have officially indoctrinated them with your message and inducted them into your cult.
When you develop your dogma by taking a stand and articulating your UVP, find your followers by meeting them where they are, and spread your gospel by building trust and obsessing over their experience, you will finally be able to create the cult following your brand has been missing.
Maybe this really is about building a lovable brand after all.

Iron Maiden's Nicko McBrain has been presented with a special award by the US Navy Seals.
McBrain has previously helped raised funds for the Navy Seals alongside his friend, golf long-drive star Mike Zeigler – who also plays bass in McBrain's band The McBrainiacs.
And during a McBrainiacs performance at Rock N Roll Ribs in Florida at the weekend, Zeigler presented McBrain with a Navy Seal 'fin' to mark his work with the Navy Seal Foundation.
Zeigler says: "Nicko has become one of the family with US Navy Seals. So the guys from Naval Special Warfare wanted to give you a little something.
"This is a Navy Seal fin. On this fin is the Navy Seal Trident, the Jump Wings and Freddy The Frog.
Iron Maiden's Nicko McBrain: Did I inspire Bruce Dickinson to fly Ed Force One?

Dickens World is a unique, fun packed attraction with strong educational elements to inform and entertain. Pupils can jump on board the Great Expectations Boat Ride, experience Dotheboys School Room with a strict Victorian school master or get spooked in "The Haunted Man". Meet Dickensian characters; Enjoy Courtyard shows, and marvel at the 4D cinema in Peggotty's Boathouse.
Our professional, performing arts, tour guides will take you on a journey of discovery, bringing to life, the most affecting and colourful characters; in this powerful and at times hilariously funny exposé of Dickens' works.
Peggotty's Cinema Show - The tour starts off with Peggotty's Boathouse, made famous in the novel David Copperfield. Here you will be introduced to Dickens' life and travels throughout Europe and America.
Old Green Copper Rope Bridge - You are then immersed in the sights and sounds from the scenes of Victorian London. Walk across the rope bridges and travel the footsteps back in time to our Victorian themed courtyard.
Explore Collards Greengrocers, this shop really did exist and was originally situated in North Street, just up the road from Dickens' favourite pub in Rochester. Here you will learn about the different social classes within the Victorian era's very structured society.
Just next door you will enter the Barbers Shop; the backstreet Barbers were a feature of everyday life. Here you will be able to see how a Victorian Barber shop looked back in the day.
Moving on you will enter the River Walk. Here you will be told about nasty Jack the Ripper.
Marshalsea Debtors Prison - Then enter the Marshalsea Prison. The Marshalsea was a debtor's prison. In Victorian times, if the bread winner of the family ended up here, their families would have to join them in the prison; the bread winner would stay locked up whilst their family went out to earn money in order to pay off the debt. Dickens' father, John Dickens, was sent here when Charles was just a young boy.
Once you have been freed from the Marshalsea Prison you will need to hurry back into the courtyard… for the very miserable and abusive school Head Master will be awaiting your arrival.
Here you will enter Dotheboy's Hall where your Victorian lesson will begin.
Haunted Man - When class is dismissed you will then enter the Haunted Man. This area of Dickens World is dark and sinister but you must be bold and go inside as the house features some of the most creepy and memorable characters that Charles Dickens wrote about. The voice of Charles Dickens' great grandson, Gerald Dickens will introduce you to a whole host of spooky holographs also known as "pepper's ghosts", an invention of the period used to create ghostly illusions.
Book your place on the Dickens World Grand Tour Experience!
Tickets: A flat rate price of £5.50 per person applies to all adults, children and concessions.

Byrnes's text: #159 Augustus Gregory
Link to REVISED entry on #159 Augustus Gregory
DESCRIPTION. Twenty years old in 1886. Born in United States, of German parents. Lived in New York. Single. No trade. Slim build. Height, 5 feet 9 inches. Weight, 126 pounds. Light-colored hair, light eyes, long nose, thin face, light complexion.
RECORD. Gregory is a very clever boy. He was in prison in Colorado, and after he was liberated he worked all the hotels in all the principal cities from there to New York. The following is an interesting account of his doings in New York, clipped from one of the papers at the time:
"No Will-o'-the-wisp was ever more ubiquitous than a clever hotel sneak thief who for the past month has led the detective force such a dance that they were almost despairing of catching their game, when, by one of those mistakes which even the most experienced criminal sometimes makes, he gave the detectives the clue for which they were seeking, that led to his capture. The first intimation of the fellow's operations came on the 25th of September, 1884, through the proprietor of the Hoffman House, New York, one of whose guests had been robbed of $350 worth of jewelry, which had been taken from his room. The thief had entered and departed through the transom, but no one in the hotel had any idea who he could be. Three days later another robbery occurred at the hotel. A week afterward a similar robbery was committed at the St. Denis Hotel, where a guest lost $300 worth of jewelry from his room.
"When Detective-Sergeants Lanthier, Mulvey and Wade went to the hotel, they learned that the only person whom they could suspect was a slim young man, dressed in rather dudish attire, who had been seen loitering about the hotel. Another complaint came on the 7th of October from the Murray Hill Hotel, where two guests had been robbed of $1,200 worth of jewelry by a sneak thief who had climbed through the transom. Again the detectives were puzzled; but in the course of their inquiries they learned that a slim young man, who had registered under the name of Edward Sussey, had arrived the day before the robbery and left two days afterward.
"The next sufferer from the adroit thief's operations was the Park Avenue Hotel, where five rooms were ransacked one evening, and $1,500 worth of jewelry taken. Following this robbery came a complaint from the Rossmore Hotel, where a guest lost a small sum of money and a few articles of jewelry from his room, and on the 31st of October a guest at the Coleman House discovered that during his absence from his apartment a thief had entered and stolen two watches, one gold and the other platinum, worth $800. Brooklyn next enlisted the thief's attention, and the Pierrepont House and Mansion House guests found occasion to regret his visits.
"The Chief of Detectives, who had been visited by the irate hotel keepers bristling with indignation at the apparent inability of the detectives to catch the thief, tried vainly for a time to gain some clue to his identity. The slim young man who had been seen around nearly all the hotels robbed was, he thought, the culprit, as no one but a slight and muscular man could squeeze through some of the narrow transom windows which furnished the thief with the means of ingress and egress. There was no doubt of his cleverness, as well as the fact that he was an expert who would not readily fall into the ordinary traps of the thief catchers.
"Chance, the great ally of the detectives, threw them on the right scent. The platinum watch which he had stolen from the Coleman House was of so peculiar a character that a few days ago, when Detective-Sergeant Lanthier heard that one had been pledged, he at once went to the pawnbroker, and from a description in his possession he found that it was the identical watch for which he and his associates had been on the lookout. The pawnshop was watched, and on Saturday, November 1, 1884, when a waiter in a Bowery saloon presented a ticket for the watch, he was interviewed by the officer. The man was frightened, and willingly pointed out a notorious Fourth Ward cyprian as the person from whom he had obtained the ticket.
"A close surveillance was kept upon the woman, who, it was found, was frequently in the company of a slim young man who passed by the name of White. Under the name of August Gregory the young man lived with his mother at No. 171 East Eighty-seventh Street. On Monday night, November 3, 1884, Detective-Sergeants Lanthier, Mulvey and Wade took the young man into custody and locked him up at police headquarters. When the detectives began to look up Gregory's antecedents they found that he was the son of a keeper of a Cherry Street, New York, sailor boarding-house, and, as a youth, had displayed pilfering proclivities.
"Four years before, when 17 years old, he went with his mother, who had left her husband, to Denver, Col. There he robbed his mother of $4,500, but was arrested before he had spent but a few hundred dollars of the money. He was not punished for the crime, and, emboldened by this, he began his career as a hotel sneak thief. He was lithe and muscular, and managed, by a course of gymnastic training, to be able to perform feats which an ordinary thief would hesitate at. Twice he was arrested, but for lack of evidence escaped free. The third time, however, he was convicted and sentenced to two years' imprisonment in Colorado.
"What he did not know about criminal ways he was not long in learning in jail, where he received his finishing lessons in thievery. In August, 1884, he was discharged from the Colorado prison, an accomplished thief, and came with his mother to New York City, where she hired apartments at No. 171 East Eighty-seventh Street. Not long after his arrival here he resumed his old ways, and found in the hotels a splendid field for his peculiar talent. His address and manner were prepossessing, and he had gathered a fund of knowledge about hotels that served him in good stead.
"As he freely confessed on his trial, he found the meal hours the best time for his operations, and while the guests were in the dining-room he would scale the transom and make his way into the vacant room. He was clever enough not to dispose of his booty in the shape in which he had stolen it, but would generally take out the stones in the jewels and sell them separately, and melt up the gold. Some articles, however, which he did not care to destroy thus, he sold in Philadelphia. He confessed everything to Inspector Byrnes, and gave information as to the whereabouts of a considerable amount of his booty."
"Gus" Gregory, the swell hotel thief, was sentenced on November 17, 1884, in General Sessions, to ten years' hard labor at Sing Sing. Recorder Smyth made a few remarks on the occasion. Looking severely at the prisoner as he stood at the bar carelessly twirling his fashionable Derby hat, the Judge said:
"You have a mother, young man, and I sympathize very deeply with her in having such a son. You are an unmitigated scoundrel, and employ yourself in cleaning out the various hotels of everything of value that you can lay your hands on. You have already served a term of imprisonment for stealing in the State of Colorado. You are wanted also in Wyoming Territory for burglary. Inside of seven or eight weeks you have robbed about ten hotels in New York and Brooklyn of considerable property, and you have made no effort toward restitution. You have the nature of a thief without a redeeming quality. I shall make an example of you in sending you to prison for ten years — the full term allowed by law."
The prisoner is twenty years of age, slim in build and of gentlemanly appearance. He made no sign when he was sentenced, and took no notice of the burst of approval which came from the spectators. There were three indictments against him, two for burglary, on which he pleaded guilty, and one for grand larceny, which is still held over him.
William A. Boyce, deputy warden of the Colorado State Penitentiary at Canyon City, wrote to Inspector Byrnes, and stated that "Gregory is one of the slickest sneak thieves that ever struck this country." His real name is George Schwenecke, and his aliases are many. Gregory had robbed guests at the Hoffman House, St. Denis, Park Avenue, Rossmore, and Murray Hill hotels in New York, and also at the Mansion House, Brooklyn. He secured in one haul from the Pierrepont House, Brooklyn, over $4,500 in diamonds. Altogether Gregory has stolen about $15,000 worth of jewelry from various hotels during his Eastern trip.
The two complainants on the present indictments are Samuel B. Wellington, a broker, of Room No. 234 Coleman House, from whom the prisoner stole $800 worth of jewelry, and Claudia Guernsey, of Room No. 553 Park Avenue Hotel, from whom he stole about $400 worth. In both cases he entered the rooms of the guests with false keys. He is described on the record as a student. He is well educated, and has a most polite manner. On leaving the bar he bowed respectfully to the Court, and whispered, "Thank you." The police speak of him as an adroit, cunning rascal, who lives by his wits. When Gregory left the court he was handcuffed to a dirty, ferocious looking prisoner, who regarded his dainty, elegantly dressed companion with contempt.
Gregory's picture is an excellent one, taken in November, 1884.

The ILO and the United Nations Climate Change Conference - COP21
The twenty-first session of the Conference of the Parties (COP21) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) took place from 30 November to 11 December 2015, in Paris, France.
The ILO advocated that the global response to climate change must be founded on decent work and a just transition to environmentally sustainable economies and societies for all.

The Road to Paris
The ILO has been involved in the negotiation process leading to the COP21 and has also organized various platforms for discussion on how to advance the climate change and decent work agendas in a mutually supportive manner.
A Dialogue on Climate Change and Jobs: Shaping the COP21 Agenda of Solutions in May 2015, generated momentum, ideas and a wide range of solutions on how actors in the world of work can contribute to the climate agenda.
Building on this, the World of Work Summit on Climate Change on 11 June 2015 included a High-Level Panel discussion centred on how to build resilience and create solutions in pursuit of social justice, productive employment and sustainable enterprises, and to ensure a just transition for all. At a special sitting, French President François Hollande called on tripartite mobilization to take action to fight climate change, anticipate technological transformation, and ensure successful energy transition, amongst others.
France and Peru launched on 10 June 2015 a "Joint Call for Action on Climate Change and Decent Work", initiated by the ILO, urging all countries to undertake efforts to mitigate and adapt to climate change which can act as a powerful engine of growth, job creation, social justice, gender equality and eradication of poverty.
In October 2015, the ILO organized a last dialogue 50 days before the Climate Conference Towards a Successful COP21: Decent Work and a Just Transition to Address Climate Change. It was noted that the draft agreement includes these dimensions.
The ILO and UNFCCC committed to strengthen their collaboration and mobilization of constituents in support of an ambitious and successful global climate change agreement. Ahead of the UN Climate Summit in New York in 2014, they called on world leaders to recognized that putting the planet on the path toward de-carbonization can deliver a safer, healthier, and more prosperous world that provides millions of decent work opportunities (see statement).

How We Learned to See My Son's Tourette Syndrome as a Blessing
Whenever I talk about my son having Tourette syndrome, I feel weird about the word "syndrome."
By definition, it's not a derogatory word:
Syndrome — a group of symptoms that consistently occur together or a condition characterized by a set of associated symptoms.
So why the negative feelings when I use that word? I've reflected on this topic, off and on, for years. I've concluded it feels "off" to me because once we acclimated to life with Tourette, it didn't feel like a syndrome or disorder at all.
To take it one step further, it can even feel like a blessing — if (and only if) you're open to receiving this. If you're constant to the proverbial "beating head against wall," trying to fix it and making it go away, shushing him/her (which could be inadvertently shaming him), referring to motor tics and noises as "weird behavior" to other people when talking about it, it's fair to say t you may not be ready to accept TS as a blessing. And no guilt, please, for not being ready. Hear that part? No guilt, please.
This takes time. It's a shift in thinking. A total shift. It's like that moment when the hidden dolphin picture finally comes off the page…"I've got it!! I can see it! Oh wait, it went away."
It takes practice to not only receive the blessing, but also to hold on to it and make it last.
One minute you feel it, the next it's flown away, and you're left with anxiety and fear again. But if you focus, really focus, on accepting your child's syndrome as a blessing, you may be shocked at the subsequent fortunes that continue to happen, all because you shifted from syndrome to gift.
So what in the world am I talking about? How can I put such abstractions into actual examples to understand?
I can't speak for your own experience and potential, and I'm fully aware of the varying degrees of severity with TS, but for me (us), our son's TS began to manifest itself as a TB (Tourette Blessing) in five main ways:
1. When we recognized the correlation between TS and a passion/talent for creative arts: music, writing, acting. We recognized this both in general through the media and also directly in our son's life. He began writing songs and playing guitar when he was 10 years old. His first song was called "my stupid little hand disorder," and in retrospect, we realized it was symbolic of what he was going through at the time of accepting his tics and sharing them with others. The lyrics to his song ended with "my stupid little hand disorder…it…feels…nice." We learned his tics felt normal and good to him… they were part of him.
Over the years, I came to deeply believe the blessing of TS doesn't stand alone. It comes with other pieces and parts — gifts, if you will. For Andrew, these gifts were an amazing talent in music and theater, and not so ironically, this has become his passion in life!
2. When we finally drew the parallels between TS and extreme compassion for other humans. This is real, folks. I'm not saying compassion isn't inherent in many of us or even in him, regardless of TS, but something happened with his core character as he grew up on the outside looking in. He was always having to take a step back and observe a situation before reacting, and he became quite good at this. Through this process, he learned at a young age how to see the whole picture, how to look at someone's behavior and think "there is more to this story, so I'm going to give this person the benefit of the doubt and show them compassion." Not ironic that this fit in with our familial belief in Christianity and the unprecedented Law of Love.
3. When TS became the vehicle for him to learn how to protect his self-esteem and gain confidence. He wanted others to understand. He stood up for himself and not only educated himself, but began teaching his peers around him what it was like to have TS in ways they could relate. These are life skills he will always have.
4. When we realized our child's TS was pointing a finger at us to become more introspective about our parenting and the reasons behind our concerns. As a parent, it's too easy to become consumed by all of this — especially when they're little. The whole process (taking many years) taught me invaluable life lessons on parenting. How to let go. How to give your child more credit. How to bite your tongue. The list goes on forever, but every lesson is even more valuable to me as I have three more
children growing up behind Andrew.
5. When it became distinguishable that it was none other than his TS (and ADHD and other challenges) that solidified the core of our family. We're closer than we could have imagined because we're facing the world and fighting for his success,independence, acceptance and happiness together as a family. And oh… by the way, it sure does feel like a blessing that we have each other.
It takes practice, and practice takes time.
But when you see the dolphin transcend from the hidden picture, try to hold on to it a little longer each time.
Before you know it, you'll have it. That peace and acceptance and love and gratitude is all yours.

Depth Chart: Who's in the hunt in halves race
Mon 25 Jan 2021, 10:09 AM
The nib Newcastle Knights are blessed with options for 2021.
In the lead-up to the new season, newcastleknights.com.au will look over the depth of the squad and break down the positional options at the disposal of the coaching staff.
Today we take a look at the halves contenders.
With Mitchell Pearce in charge at No.7, Adam O'Brien will be stoked with his options for the No.6 jumper in 2021.
Note: These depth charts are the opinion of newcastleknights.com.au and have no input from the coaching staff.
Mitchell Pearce
He's one of our most valuable players.
An Origin series winner with a premiership to his name, Pearce has almost ticked off all you can do in rugby league with game 300 in sight in 2021.
His exceptional kicking game and classy playmaking will go a long way to any success the Club has this year.
Barring injury or suspension, Pearce should be one of the first names on the team sheet in 2021.
Blake Green
He may've only played two (and a half) games, but Blake Green's influence was truly felt in 2020.
The Knights scored 70 points with Green at pivot, releasing the pressure on Pearce and Ponga to steer the team around.
His ACL injury was a major turning point in the 2020 season, and his return to the side next year will be one fans will be looking forward to seeing.
The crafty No.6 will miss the opening few rounds of the 2021 season, potentially leaving the door ajar for a number of competitors to snatch the jersey and make it their own.
Kurt Mann
There's no denying Mann was one of the Knights' best last year, coming in second in the Danny Buderus Medal count after a career-best season.
He spent the majority of the year at No.6, and continued to improve when he was shifted to the hooking role to cover for the injury crisis in that position.
Mann will be training hard over the course of the pre-season in an effort to get first crack at the jersey he made his own last year.
Tex Hoy
One of the surprise packets of 2020, Hoy rocketed into contention for the No.6 jersey after a stunning run of form in the Perth Nines and trial games against the Dragons and Roosters.
Hoy filled in a number of positions in 2020, however he looked most at home at fullback or five-eighth.
A hamstring injury prevented him from nailing down the jumper late in the season.
Phoenix Crossland
He caught the eye of O'Brien last season, playing seven games off the bench in 2020.
Crossland was even considered the front runner early last pre-season for the No.6, however an injury setback opened the door for Kurt Mann.
The 20-year-old has a real opportunity stamp his name in the starting lineup with a strong pre-season.
He's a crafty halfback with a strong work ethic on the training paddock so look for Crossland to push for his name to be on the starting sheet come Round 1.
Connor Watson
While Watson is gunning for a spot in the forwards this year, his versatility means if a crisis were to strike, he would be a viable option in the halves in 2021.
Watson came through the junior grades at the Roosters as a No.6, so definitely wouldn't be out of place should he be called upon at any stage next year.
Kalyn Ponga
It was an experiment which didn't quite work for the Knights in 2019, and Ponga found himself back in the fullback position by Round 4.
But after Ponga's off season, it's definitely an option for the Coach in 2021.
He showed the rugby league world that he has a future in the No.6 jersey when he starred for the Junior Kangaroos as a pivot.
Ponga set up four tries in their 62-4 win against France and looked at home in the halves.
Simi Sasagi
A youngster with plenty of potential.
While he didn't play much football in 2020 due to the pandemic, Sasagi impressed hugely in the scrimmage games.
An exciting five-eighth with a strong work ethic, Sasagi made his Jersey Flegg debut in 2019 and ran riot, scoring four tries in 35 minutes.
He's one for the future to keep an eye on.

MTN Project Fame West Africa Academy Day 1: Contestants Get A Hang Of The House
As expected, the opening gala night of MTN project dame west Africa season 8 was tough and interesting for the 'Top 18' contestants who scaled through the semi-final audition. The 'Top 18' contestants were finally streamlined to fourteen, who made it in to the academy.
In similar fashion with previous editions, immense excitement and emotions were let loose by the final 14 contestants as joy and fulfilment could be seen written all over their faces as they made their way into the academy. The final 14 contestants were full of joy as they described how aesthetically pleasant and beautiful their new home was.
As is the tradition with MTN project dame west Africa, the project fame academy would not only polish the singing skills of the contestants but also provide them with essential life skills which may be the reason why the contestants had little time to settle in as they went straight to selecting the leader of the house.
To elect the first captain of the house, they all nominated their choices for the position in an atmosphere devoid of rancour. At the end of voting, Ada emerged as the first captain of the season 8 edition of project fame west Africa after some rounds of game that had to be employed to break the tie between her votes and that of Biko.
Before the activities of the day came to an end, Uncle Ben came in to the house to officially welcome the contestants into the competition. In his usual fashion from previous editions, he reeled out the songs each of the contestants would be performing for the weekend.

Chromium-based Edge leaks in its entirety, and you can install it now
By Rich Woods Senior Editor for North America Neowin @@TheRichWoods · Mar 24, 2019 11:12 EDT · Hot! with 68 comments
Over the last few weeks, there have been lots of leaks around Microsoft's new Chromium-based Edge browser. First, we reported on screenshots that were leaked, then there were support documents, an extensions page, and even an installer that didn't work. But now, the full browser has leaked for anyone to try out.
Spotted by Aggiornamenti Lumia, the PCBeta forum has a link to a ZIP file with the browser. If you run the Setup.exe file that's included, the browser will install.
Naturally, we've installed it, and we'll have a hands-on video later on today. The browsing experience is exactly the same as in Chrome, but with a layer of Microsoft on top of it. You can choose to install extensions from either the Microsoft Store or the Google Store, and you'll want to sign in with your Microsoft account.
Note that if you install this app, you're doing it at your own risk. Obviously, it's coming from a third-party, so you should always be skeptical of executable files from untrusted sources.
There are still bits of Edge that are missing, such as the ability to write on webpages. Clearly, this isn't done, and Microsoft still has a long way to do. A public preview should be coming soon though.

Gwynn, Becky and Erin are 3 moms in Brooklyn struggling with how to impart meaning and tradition while avoiding all the social and political pitfalls that have historically come with those ideals. So they take ecstasy and look up facts on Wikipedia and try and fail and sometimes succeed to make sense of the world to their kids. The play explores the history of Christmas traditions in the United States and the complicated question of How To Be Good right now in the world.


Magdalo Rep. Gary Alejano on Wednesday alleged that Chinese Navy and Coast Guard vessels as well as maritime militia were spotted north of Pag-asa Island.
"I received information from my sources in the military, stating that since 3 days ago, China has deployed 2 frigates, 1 Coast Guard vessel, and 2 large fishing vessels, with their maritime militia, 1-3 nautical miles north of Pag-asa Island," Alejano said.
Alejano said he also received a report that two days ago, a Philippine government vessel from the Bureau of Fishers and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) was prevented by Chinese fishing vessels from going near the Pag-asa island.
"Further, the report said, two days ago a Philippine government ship from BFAR was prevented by Chinese fishing vessels from going near our sand bars located generally west of Pag-asa Island, around 2-7 miles away," Alejano said.
Alejano said this is proof that Chinese vessels continue to harass Philippine fishermen despite cooler ties with China.
"This is highly suspicious and threatening considering the fact that China says one thing in public and does another on the ground. For example, our fishermen continued to be harassed in West Philippine Sea by Chinese Navy or Coast Guard. Let us not forget what happened in 1995 when they grabbed Mischief Reef from us," Alejano said.


Newspaper columnist and author Erma Bombeck once humorously advised parents to never lend a vehicle to anyone to whom they've given birth. If only life could be that simple. Most parents don't find deflating the tires and locking away the keys from their teen driver a feasible approach and will eventually let their teen driver borrow the car.
Just because you've decided to let your teen get behind the wheel doesn't mean that you want to hand the keys over haphazardly. There are several things that you can do to prepare your child and help relieve some of the uneasiness you might feel.
One of the most important features is that the emergency roadside service you pick offers 24/7 roadside assistance. Your teen will then be able call for professional help whenever he/she might need it. You may also consider asking your motor club if they offer emergency roadside services for when your teen is riding in a friend's car.
You'll never know your teen's knowledge and attitude about driving if you don't talk to them. Although the graphic details of what can happen when speed limits, stop signs, signal lights, and roadwork cautions are ignored might not be fun topics, it's important for kids to know the consequences of their driving actions.
You'll also want to establish ground rules for using the car, such as how many passengers will be allowed, what time it should be returned, and where it can and can't be taken. Keep in mind that some state laws will dictate the answers to some of these questions.
Another topic of discussion should be drinking and driving. No parent wants to believe that their sweet and levelheaded child would be the type to drive intoxicated, but the reality is that even good kids can be foolish or succumb to peer pressure. Make it clear that you'll have zero tolerance for both drinking and driving -and- riding with someone else drinking alcohol. At the same time, you'll want your teen to know beyond a doubt that they can call you anytime they get into a bad situation and you'll be there to come pick them up.
If you feel like you're being intrusive, just keep in mind that NHTSA data shows the crash rates for drivers between 16 and 17 years of age are nine times that of an adult driver. As your teen driver becomes a more experienced driver and develops safe driving habits, you can always reconsider your approach.


Dispute resolution is not amicable if it is ruinously expensive, if adversarial procedures increase hostility, and if long delay drags on the controversy. We hear that in our public court system a poor man cannot afford justice. The adversarial system is based on trial by combat in which each party tries to ridicule, intimidate and defame or at least discredit the other party. Shakespeare described the law's delay as among the sorrows of life.
Arbitration is known as an amicable way to settle disputes because of great savings in cost, because of emphasis on a search for truth rather than on hurting each other, with private hearings that avoid publicity, with informality of procedure that allows the parties "to unburden themselves in a way impossible in courts," and "speedy disposition of the dispute, which our courts, with their congested calendars, cannot even remotely match." (Separation Agreements & Ante-Nuptial Contracts, Chapter 29, Arbitration) Hearings may be held at the convenience of the parties and of the arbitrators, so that there is no disruption of business or of employment with loss of income. Hearings may be held at any place they wish, such as in a living-room, in an office or in a private room in a restaurant.
"Arbitration is the adjudication of a controversy by an impartial person, or by a board of impartial persons, whose decision is called an award and is final and binding. Unlike a dispute taken to court, arbitration is entered into voluntarily; the parties themselves define the issue, select the arbitrator or arbitrators, and prescribe the rules to be followed. Almost any dispute that can be litigated can be settled by arbitration if the two sides so desire.
The main difference between arbitration and civil court is that one is private and the other is public. In education, we have private schools and public schools. Many prefer private schools because they are free to experiment, free to be different, free to be progressive, and not at the mercy of politics as public schools are. In private courts of arbitration, there is freedom to select judges and to decide what rules to follow. Bahá'ís are free to choose the spiritual assembly to serve as a board of arbitrators, and we can stipulate that proceedings shall follow the laws, principles and teachings of the Bahá'í Faith.
What is the attitude of government toward arbitration? That all depends on who makes the laws. Before 1920, with no legislation about arbitration, courts were free to decide what position to take. Some judges were hostile. Probably they felt insulted and jealous when merchants preferred others to judge their disputes. Also, they said arbitration was redundant because after arbitration, if one party did not like the award he could litigate in public courts. Advocates of arbitration talked to legislators and in 1920, the State of New York enacted a law requiring courts to recognize an agreement to arbitrate as binding on the parties. Did this violate anyone's rights? "This statute was deemed not violative of a party's constitutional prerogatives to a jury trial, because such constitutional rights are waivable, and the agreement to arbitrate implies such a waiver.
"Therefore, if arbitration is clearly and expressly provided for in the parties' agreement, the arbitration will be considered the sole available remedy. Basically, the rationale is that a party can relinquish the right to have future controversies litigated in the civil courts.
Since 1920, other states gradually adopted arbitration laws until now all 50 states and the District of Columbia "have statutory schemes sanctioning arbitration and providing procedures for converting the arbitration award into a judicially enforceable judgment."
Pilgrims' notes are even clearer. Although not binding on us, we are welcome to read them and to think about them. May and Mary Maxwell (now Ruhíyyih Khánum) reported in their Haifa Notes of 1937 that the Guardian said, "The spiritual assembly's function is to help the community . . . . If appealed to they must settle disputes between individuals and non-Bahá'ís, between families. . . . The spiritual assembly has not only the right but the obligation to settle disputes if referred to them.
Whenever people are able to agree, they don't need outside help. It is only when agreement is not possible that we need help. I made the mistake of marrying a seriously mentally ill woman. When a child was born, I decided I had to divorce for the child's sake, so I could raise him in a conflict-free environment.
Having read all of the above about how spiritual assemblies should solve divorces, I asked the N.S.A. for permission to have arbitration by the nearest local Assembly. Horace Holley wrote, "Divorce actions, after believers have completed a year of patience, can only be taken to the courts because no other agency can grant divorce. What the Guardian meant were matters like unpaid loans and other disputes which Assemblies can handle." Thinking otherwise, I asked the Guardian. He was far behind in his correspondence, so months went by with no answer. I cabled him and received his cabled reply, "APPROVE ARBITRATION." It was sent to me via Wilmette so a copy would be in the Wilmette telegraph office. I telephoned the N.S.A. and Charlotte Linfoot answered the phone. I read the cablegram to her and she asked, "All right, what would you like the National Assembly to do?" I said, "I would like the N.S.A. to appoint the Spiritual Assembly of Albuquerque to be arbitrator of the terms of divorce prior to going to civil court." She said, "All right, the National Assembly is in session right now, so I'll give them your message." In a couple of weeks, we received letters announcing that the N.S.A. had appointed the Spiritual Assembly of Albuquerque to be arbitrator of our terms of divorce.
At this point, we realized we were pioneering in a new field of Bahá'í Administration. Until then, the N.S.A. position had been that divorce arbitration by Bahá'í institutions in the U.S. was not possible. Suddenly this was reversed by the cablegram from the Guardian. There was no body of instruction on how a spiritual assembly should handle divorce. The local Assembly did not know what teachings to follow. I telephoned Horace Holley, who said that he did not know and invited me to make up a list of questions to ask the Guardian. He told me to submit my letter through the N.S.A., since the Guardian was many months behind in personal correspondence but answered N.S.A. correspondence promptly. I sent Mr. Holley my list of questions and in a few weeks he mailed me the Guardian's reply, dated November 5th, 1955.
"Your letter of Oct. 3 has been forwarded to the beloved Guardian by the American N.S.A. as well as copy of document you enclosed.
"The Guardian has, at various times, given the N.S.A. certain brief instructions as to Bahá'í divorce; he does not consider that these should be amplified at the present time or elaborated, as it is premature.
"Bahá'ís should turn to their Assembly (first local and then National if necessary) in all questions of divorce. This is the advice he not only has given you and Mrs. Cornell, but all other Bahá'ís.
"He feels, as he has already stated, that you and Mrs. Cornell should seek the advice of the Assembly in your particular case and, as believers, abide by it. It is not possible for him, obviously, to go into such details himself and arbitrate the cases of the Bahá'ís."
He did not answer any of my questions. However, his letter written just two years before his tragic death confirmed that divorce arbitration is correct. We were no longer an exception to the rule. He explained which Bahá'ís should turn to which Assemblies and in which questions of divorce: All Bahá'ís, first to local and then National if necessary, in all questions of divorce.
My wife's father asked the Guardian for permission to fight me in court if the Assembly decision were not favorable to her. The Guardian cabled him, "URGE ABIDE ASSEMBLY DECISION."
The Assembly mailed us the terms it decided for us. Our attorneys composed our divorce decree in legal language according to terms decided by the Spiritual Assembly, and the judge signed it on December 20, 1955.
Horace Holley wrote us on January 6, 1966: "The National Spiritual Assembly approves the terms of settlement set forth by the Spiritual Assembly of Albuquerque acting as a Bahá'í Court of arbitration at the request of you both and also acting under the authority conferred upon it by the National Assembly. . . .
"According to the strict principles of Bahá'í administration Bahá'ís are not to carry law suits against other Bahá'ís to the courts but settle their differences through Bahá'í institutions, recognizing that only a civil court can actually annul or dissolve marriage, but the terms of the court action should be those agreed upon by both parties in consultation with a Bahá'í administrative body.
"In this particular case the National Assembly recognizes that there is an even stronger element involved, namely, the letter written to Major Cornell by the Guardian under date of November 5, 1955, in which it is stated that the Guardian feels that both parties should abide by the decision of the Bahá'í institution.
". . . It should become a landmark in the development of such cases before Bahá'í institutions."
If our case were a landmark, it was the best-kept secret in history. Ten years later, I heard a Bahá'í worry about civil court divorce with his Bahá'í wife. I asked him why didn't he have arbitration by a spiritual assembly? He had never heard of such a thing, so I told him my story. Since he was on a spiritual assembly in the Salinas Valley and his wife on a spiritual assembly in Oregon, I urged him to ask the N.S.A. to appoint a neutral Assembly. The new N.S.A. Secretary, Dr. David Ruhe, replied that all questions on divorce must be taken to civil court. I gave the Salinas Assembly words of the Guardian and Horace Holley on assembly divorce arbitration. This was sent to Wilmette and the N.S.A. consulted on it. The result was N.S.A. appointment in 1965 of the Spiritual Assembly of San Francisco to be arbitrator of their terms of divorce.
Thus, when Bahá'ís submit a dispute to a spiritual assembly, they can state in their submission agreement that either party has the right to appeal to the N.S.A. within thirty days after the local award. This will give everyone all of his rights as a Bahá'í to national review and will satisfy all legal requirements for civil court enforcement of Assembly awards.
It is my belief that arbitration by spiritual assemblies has been mandated by Bahá'u'lláh, `Abdu'l-Bahá and Shoghi Effendi as well as by the Universal House of Justice, and that modern arbitration laws make it an ideal forum for Bahá'ís to resolve disputes with each other as well as with any non-Bahá'ís willing to accept a spiritual assembly as arbitrator.

I think it's a pretty safe bet that despite 2019 being barely two weeks old we already have a contender for tune of the year: 'Faraway Look' by Yola Carter is a song so utterly huge, so monumental, that it would take several gangs of labourers working round the clock with industrial tune moving equipment for the next eleven and a half months to dislodge it from my brain's playlist generator.
Imagine Memphis era Dusty joining forces with, say, Glen Campbell, Scott Walker and Gene Pitney – and Phil Spector manning the controls - belting out a sixties clarion call to end all clarion calls in a 'You've Lost That 24 Hours From The Son Of A Wichita Preacher Man' kind of way. That's how big this is.
And if you think I'm over egging this particular soulful pudding, then pull up a chair and see for yourself.
Sold....to the lanky grey haired geezer from Norfolk!
As I too fall into the lanky grey haired geezer demographic, I wonder if Yola knows we're her target audience?!
Very good, very soulful. I would never have guessed it was contemporary!
It's absolutely drenched in soul isn't it? And it has a certain retro-contemporary feel about it that just makes it so infectious.
'You've Lost That 24 Hours From The Son Of A Wichita Preacher Man' - What a perfect description. I keep mentioning in my blog that the year I seem to revisit most often is 1967 and this could well have been from back then (but in the same way Rumer sounds like Karen Carpenter - not quite, more contemporary).
1967 was a vintage year Alyson!
I shall go away and listen to some Rumer this afternoon.
You've done it again, John. Introduced me to something new and wonderful. Ta!
All part of the service Martin. Looking forward to giving you more steers in '19.
She is brilliant, isn't she? Apparently she's sung with Portishead and is regularly in demand. I particularly like the production - matey out of the Black Keys.
Thanks for playing this song. Dan Auerbach is creating something really special with his label Easy Eye Sound. My favorite album of 2018 was Shannon Shaw's 'Shannon in Nashville.' Like Yola, a throwback, albeit a much rougher Shangri-Las sound.
Thanks for the heads up Brian, I'll go and pay Shannon a visit.
