Understanding the Problems in Iraq's Shi'i Draft Personal Status Law
Haider Ala Hamoudi
Edited by: Kenneth Hall
JURIST Guest Columnist Haider Ala Hamoudi of the University of Pittsburgh School of Law discusses the hasty and sloppy manner in which Iraq's highly controversial draft Shi'i Personal Status Law was prepared …
There has been much controversy over the Iraqi cabinet's approval of a draft Shi'i Personal Status Law [Arabic], applicable exclusively to the Shi'a in Iraq. The draft law purports to bring the regulation of personal status—encompassing family law, wills and inheritance—in conformity with the religious rules articulated by Shi'a Islam's premier juristic authorities. The cabinet has sent the draft law to the Iraqi legislature for its consideration and potential enactment.
The criticisms of the draft law that have appeared in the press concerning women's rights are broadly correct. However, the focus of this article will be to demonstrate that the draft law is also sloppily drafted and poorly organized, so much so that the prominent Shi'a juristic authorities themselves have sharply denounced it. It is thus probably best described as a political stunt, cobbled together hastily and endorsed by Shi'a politicians on the eve of national elections merely to burnish Islamist credentials rather than actually pass meaningful legislation.
Certainly—even leaving aside human rights concerns—the task of drafting a modern Personal Status Law that is based on juristic rules would be an extraordinarily complex task. The jurists are not lawyers, nor do they aspire to be. Their rules are intended to be the basis for living a pious and righteous life, as such they differ markedly from the laws of a state in its regulation of conduct and social order. A thorough legislative representation of juristic thought in any given area of law requires a sophisticated and nuanced understanding of both Islamic law and state law, a carefully considered methodology by which the translation of the religious ideas are to appear as legislation or not and a holistic appreciation of the various areas of law that might be affected. Hence, it took the exemplary Ahmed Cevdet Pasha and his law commission fully sixteen years to draft an Ottoman Civil Code, the Mecelle—based on Sunni, and primarily Hanafi, juristic rules.
To say that the authors of this draft personal status law did not rise to the challenge is to understate the matter. They did not even try. Below, I offer a few specific examples of how the religious rules pose significant legislative obstacles and the poorly considered way that the drafters dealt with the obstacles.
First, the phrasing of the religious rules—developed from foundational texts using medieval techniques —traffic in arcane details and obscure hypotheticals that are difficult to incorporate into legislation. For example, below are the rules of Grand Ayatollah Sistani concerning the familiar Islamic limitation on a decedent's bequests to one-third of the decedent's estate, the remainder of which is to go to close family members—heirs who inherit specific obligatory proportions:
There is no problem in dividing the permission [of the heirs] into parts after death, or during life, or not doing so. Of the two, the first is preferred.
If one bequeaths an item, and then bequeaths a third [of the estate] beyond it, the bequest of the third is effective and the remainder depends on the permission of the heirs. So if the bequeather says, "Two stallions to Zaid, and one third of the rest to Umru," then the bequest to Umru is valid. However, the bequest to Zaid is valid upon the approval of the heirs, and if not approved, then it is valid to one third of the horses and the two thirds are to the heirs.
These are highly edited examples from several pages of exegesis on the one-third rule. Yet they illustrate the challenge facing any drafter translating this material into national legislation. The drafters of the Shi'i Personal Status Law did not bother with nuance but merely indicated as follows in Article 8: "The bequest is obligatory and effective to the limit of one-third of the estate. And as to what exceeds one-third, the bequest is not effective except with the permission of the heirs." Article 9—also relevant and discussed further below—does not make the permission of an heir referenced in Article 8 effective while that heir is a minor. The proposed formulation is exceedingly reductive and likely to lead to inaccurate results. It does not lay out the manner in which permission might be given by an heir, what to do when permission is given by some and not others or how to treat permission as to part of the bequest but not another part, among many other things. For a draft law whose very purpose is to permit the Shi'a to live by the rules of their sect, such sloppiness and imprecision is inexcusable.
A second problem with the juristic rules is that they often adopt formulations that seem almost impossible to easily apply in modern courts. An excellent example concerns puberty, which has an important religious effect as it is the point at which a person is deemed to have reached adulthood. Under the religious rules, at puberty, a person can marry, enter into contracts, devise wills, dispose of property and be held responsible for crimes.
By contrast, modern Iraqi law determines the age of legal majority to be eighteen. The draft law does not seek to disturb that, except as to matters relating to personal status. This creates difficulties on its own given the overlap between matters of personal status and other areas of law. For example, if a person is entitled to inherit as an heir upon reaching puberty, may that person then dispose of the property inherited in an ordinary sale? If not, then this curtails their right to "inherit" property at puberty. Yet if so, then the general legal age of majority to conclude a contract for sale does not apply as to contracts for the sale of inherited property. Both of these results are difficult to justify.
The approach of the draft law is haphazard and suggests that little, if any, thought was given to the matter. Article 9 does not recognize any permission an heir might give for part of their inheritance to be bequeathed to a third-party so long as that heir is a "minor." The term used for "minor" is the same one used throughout Iraqi law and refers specifically to those under the age of eighteen. No reference is made as to puberty—which is defined later in the draft—nor does the draft anywhere suggest a different definition for "minor" as to matters of personal status.
In Article 16, by contrast, the right to bequeath property exists so long as the person bequeathing it has attained puberty. Thus, a person bequeaths property based on one conception of adulthood and inherits it based on another—hardly a sensible formulation.
The other problem relating to puberty is one of application. The Shi'a rules deem puberty attained at the age of nine lunar years for a girl. As for a boy, the age is fifteen lunar years unless particular signs of puberty appear—among them pubic hair or wet dreams. While it is logistically possible—if morally offensive—to deem a nine year old an adult for personal status purposes, it is hard to see how the matter of capacity to marry, inherit or devise property can depend on factual determinations concerning pubic hair or wet dreams. Moreover, if such is the intent, careful thought would have to be given as to how to amend the Law of Evidence or the Civil Procedure Code to offer a process by which such things could be proven.
The draft law addresses none of this in satisfactory detail. Article 16(1) reads as follows: "Puberty means the completion of nine lunar years . . . for females, or fifteen lunar years for males, or the realization of one of the bodily signs relied upon by the Muslim jurists for the onset of puberty among males." Politically, this formulation is astute in that it replicates the juristic rules without disclosing them in the level of detail that would prove embarrassing to the drafters. Legally, however, it is an absolute nightmare. It obligates a judge to actually attempt to determine whether or not a fourteen year old boy is able to bequeath property based on whether he has ever had a wet dream or has pubic hair, without offering anything by way of procedure or evidentiary rules to assist the judge in performing this extremely unusual—and no doubt uncomfortable—task.
Finally, religious rules deal with virtue and sin, meaning that not all conduct needs to be described as permissible or impermissible. The goal is not thin compliance with state dictate, but rather pleasing God. Hence, some activities are "recommended," others are "disfavored" and still others are "neutral." Very few of these nuanced gradations are easily translatable into modern legislation.
As an example of the interplay of such religious edicts, Grand Ayatollah Sistani indicates that a wife's obligation to her husband does not include housework of any kind, but rather such activities are "recommended" for a wife to do. By contrast, she is prohibited from leaving the home without her husband's permission and is generally obligated to submit to her husband's sexual demands when made.
By contrast, a husband is obligated to financially provide for his wife in all matters—including food, clothing and shelter. A husband is also obligated to divide his nights equally among his wives if he has more than one; however, it is "recommended" that he spend the first seven days of his marriage to a virgin wife with her but only the first three days of his marriage to a nonvirgin wife with her. None of these nights needs to be spent with the existing wives in compensation.
The drafters translated all of this material into legislation in an exceedingly simplistic fashion. They simply omitted mention of all "recommended" and "disfavored" matters, retaining only those that are "obligatory" or "prohibited." The result is a distortion of the rules upon which the law is supposed to be based.
Viewed in isolation, it is intellectually defensible for the law to purport to follow Shi'i marriage rules and yet not include mention of the "recommendation" that the wife perform housework. Yet, the failure to include the "recommendation" that the husband spend seven consecutive days with a virgin bride is harder to justify to the extent that one is maintaining that this law is a faithful rendition of the Shi'i rules. This is particularly so given that the husband's "obligation" to provide equal time to his wives each night is included in the legislation. What this means is that a husband under this law is prohibited from doing the very thing the jurists declare to be recommended—spend extra time with a newly married wife. Indeed, not only is this a distortion of the Shi'i rules, it is further from them than the current Iraqi Personal Status Code—which permits polygamy and contains no rules respecting how much time should or should not be spent with each wife. Hence, in this instance, a hastily drafted piece of legislation that is intended to permit the Shi'a to abide by their own sectarian rules deviates more from those rules than the existing law does.
Little wonder, then, that Grand Ayatollah Bashir al-Najafi decried this law as "rife with flights of fancy in legal and juristic formulations that render it impossible that a jurist would find it acceptable." Given the sharp denunciation by a Grand Ayatollah, I assume the draft will be properly assigned to history's dustbin. Still, the effort deserves to be exposed as the exercise in demagoguery that it has proved to be.

Q: postgresql: dockerfile create user and database from entrypoint script I have a Dockerfile
COPY ./docker-entrypoint.sh /

RUN chmod +x /docker-entrypoint.sh

USER postgres

ENTRYPOINT ["/docker-entrypoint.sh"]

where docker-entrypoint.sh is:
#!/bin/sh

# Before PostgreSQL can function correctly, the database cluster must be initialized:
initdb -D /var/lib/postgres/data

#start postgres server
/usr/bin/postgres -D /var/lib/postgres/data &

# create a user or role
psql -d postgres -c "CREATE USER someuser WITH PASSWORD 'jkhkjah';"

# create database

psql -d postgres -c "CREATE DATABASE dockertest OWNER 'someuser';"

It does not create someuser and dockertest database. how to do this

A: Look at the official docker postgresql image
It has such workflow:

*

*Execute docker-entrypoint.sh

*Start postgresql server

So you need to modify your Dockerfile like this:
COPY ./docker-entrypoint.sh /

RUN chmod +x /docker-entrypoint.sh

USER postgres

ENTRYPOINT ["/docker-entrypoint.sh"]

EXPOSE 5432
CMD ["postgres"]

And then modify your docker-entrypoint.sh like this:
#!/bin/sh

# Before PostgreSQL can function correctly, the database cluster must be initialized:
initdb -D /var/lib/postgres/data

# internal start of server in order to allow set-up using psql-client
# does not listen on external TCP/IP and waits until start finishes
pg_ctl -D "/var/lib/postgres/data" -o "-c listen_addresses=''" -w start

# create a user or role
psql -d postgres -c "CREATE USER someuser WITH PASSWORD 'jkhkjah';"

# create database
psql -v ON_ERROR_STOP=1 -d postgres -c "CREATE DATABASE dockertest OWNER 'someuser';"

# stop internal postgres server
pg_ctl -v ON_ERROR_STOP=1 -D "/var/lib/postgres/data" -m fast -w stop

exec "$@"

I think your main mistake is starting postgresql in background
/usr/bin/postgres -D /var/lib/postgres/data &

and starting to execute queries immediately, before server has started.
Also i recommend to add -v ON_ERROR_STOP=1 parameters to psql, to see verbose information and stop process if error occurs

The Darkling Child
The Defenders of Shannara
From New York Times bestselling author Terry Brooks comes a thrilling stand-alone novel in his legendary Shannara series—the perfect place for new readers to begin.
After taking up his enchanted sword against the dark sorcerer Arcannen, Paxon Leah has become the sworn protector of the Druid order. Now a critical hour is at hand, as a beloved High Druid nears the end of her reign and prepares to pass from the mortal world to the one beyond. There is little time for Paxon to mourn his friend and benefactor before duty summons him. For in a distant corner of the Four Lands, the magic of the wishsong has been detected. Paxon must accompany a Druid emissary to find its source—and ensure the formidable power is not wielded by the wrong hands.
But danger is already afoot in the village of Portlow. Gentle traveling minstrel Reyn Frosch possesses the uncanny gift, and curse, of the wishsong. And now his coveted abilities have captured the malevolent interest of none other than Arcannen—whose quest for power is exceeded only by his thirst for vengeance. The lone survivor of a brutal assault on a notorious pirate city, the sorcerer is determined to retaliate against the Federation's elite military guard—and use the devastating power of the wishsong as his ultimate weapon.
Praise for The Darkling Child
"Brimming with magic . . . a bubbling cauldron of fantasy and intrigue. This novel shines best through a full-bodied embrace of its most wildly imaginative magic and artifice, which is careful not to overshadow the story's greater half, fueled by a complex but well-constructed manifold of motives. The intrigue, grounded in a world that strays just enough from a traditional fantasy universe to elicit delighted curiosity, guarantees a solid fantasy read, especially for those already drawn into Brooks's vast world of Shannara."—Booklist
"Brooks's fans and those who prefer their fantasy on a smaller scale will appreciate the more personal but still high-stakes turn in this famous world."—Publishers Weekly
Praise for Terry Brooks
"The Sword of Shannara is an unforgettable and wildly entertaining epic, animated by Terry Brooks's cosmically generative imagination and storytelling joy."—Karen Russell, New York Times bestselling author of Swamplandia!
"If Tolkien is the grandfather of modern fantasy, Terry Brooks is its favorite uncle."—Peter V. Brett, New York Times bestselling author of The Desert Spear
"I can't even begin to count how many of Terry Brooks's books I've read (and reread) over the years. From Shannara to Landover, his work was a huge part of my childhood."—Patrick Rothfuss, New York Times bestselling author of The Name of the Wind
"Terry Brooks is a master of the craft and a trailblazer who established fantasy as a viable genre. He is required reading."—Brent Weeks, New York Times bestselling author of The Night Angel Trilogy
"The Shannara books were among the first to really capture my imagination. My daydreams and therefore my stories will always owe a debt to Terry Brooks."—Brandon Mull, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Beyonders and Fablehaven series
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY MAY 4, 2015
The second book in the Defenders of Shannara segment of Brooks's legendary Shannara series (following The High Druid's Blade) continues telling a story in which failure could cascade into catastrophe, though the main arc is far less grandiose than Brooks's previous works. For five years, Paxon Leah has wielded his legendary ancestral blade, the Sword of Leah, as the defender of the Druids of Paranor defending their leader, Aphenglow Elessedil, in particular. But now Aphenglow is dying. The sorcerer Arcannen Rai, who once kidnapped and traumatized Paxon's sister to exploit her Wishsong magic, has survived an atrocity and vowed to take revenge by using the young singer Reyn Frosch's Wishsong. Paxon and a Druid, Avelene, investigate Reyn and confront Arcannen, knowing that the two together would be all but unstoppable. Brooks's fans and those who prefer their fantasy on a smaller scale will appreciate the more personal but still high-stakes turn in this famous world.

Great classic fantasy
I received a free copy of this from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
Years and years ago I read every book Brooks wrote that I could get my hands on. It has been so long that I could not begin to tell you what I read in those books, but I do remember how much I loved spending time in his world. That is something that I felt again upon reading this book.
The Darkling Child is great fantasy with a classic feel. I have seen this novel described as a great starting point into his already well established world and I would agree. Brooks does a good job of giving you all of the back info that you need for this book in the story itself.
I do think that if you are a long time reader of his, you will get more out of the story because I can see that there are a lot of tie-ins and well loved characters and themes being used throughout the story. Again though, I didn't feel lost at any point during the book, which is a big deal. A lot of times, when I jump into a series that has been going on for a long time, I feel like I am missing out on a lot of things, so hats off to the author for pulling that off successfully.
Looking forward to reading more of his Shannara novels, hopefully soon.
I would recommend this to any fan of fantasy, specifically those who like Jordan, Forgotten Realms, Dragonlance and Lord of the Rings style fantasy.

Val Guest (* 11. Dezember 1911 in London als Valmond Maurice Grossmann; † 10. Mai 2006 in Palm Springs) war ein britischer Regisseur, Drehbuchautor und Filmproduzent. Guest galt als besonders vielseitig.

Leben
Guest begann seine Karriere als Schauspieler auf britischen Theaterbühnen und in Minirollen beim frühen britischen Tonfilm. Nebenher betrieb er allein das Londoner Büro des "Hollywood Reporter". Eine Begegnung mit Marcel Varnel brachte ihn dazu, Drehbücher für die Gainsborough Studios zu schreiben. Regisseur dieser Filme war üblicherweise Varnel, der Starkomiker Will Hay oft der Hauptdarsteller. Einen Großteil der Drehbücher schrieb er zusammen mit Marriott Edgar und J.O.C. Orton. Anfang der 1940er Jahre begann er die ersten Kurzfilme für das Informationsministerium zu realisieren. Zum ersten Mal Regie bei einem großen Kinofilm führte er 1943 beim Musical Miss London Ltd. Zwischen 1954 und 1960 arbeitete er ein knappes Dutzend Mal für die Hammer Company. Er inszenierte einige der vorgeblich besten wie auch schlechtesten britischen Filme. Besonders aus der Masse ragen die zwei Science-Fiction-Filme Schock (The Quatermass Xperiment, 1955) und Der Tag, an dem die Erde Feuer fing (The Day the Earth Caught Fire, 1961).

1954 heiratete er die Schauspielerin Yolande Donlan, mit der er bis zu seinem Tod zusammen war. Zwischen 1951 und 1963 arbeiteten beide bei acht Filmen zusammen. Weitere bekannte Filme Guests waren beispielsweise Casino Royale, Carry On Admiral (der Gerald Thomas zu seiner erfolgreichen Filmreihe Carry-on… inspirierte), sowie Dolche in der Kasbah (Where the Spies Are). Bei den Fernsehserien Die 2 und Mondbasis Alpha 1 führte er bei einigen Folgen Regie.

1960 war er für den Film Feinde von gestern (Yesterday's Enemy, 1959) in zwei Kategorien für den British Film Academy Award nominiert, 1961 für Hetzjagd (Hell Is a City, 1960). 1962 schließlich gewann er den Preis für das Beste britische Drehbuch für Der Tag, an dem die Erde Feuer fing. Guest war an den Drehbüchern zu fast 80 Filmen und Serien beteiligt und führte bei über 50 Produktionen Regie. Einige der Filme produzierte er selbst. Sogar Lieder schrieb er für mehrere seiner Filme.

Welcome to Alta Dusting Products, Inc. | Alta Dusting Products, Inc.
Alta Dusting Products, Inc. is the premier wholesale supplier of feather dusters and dusting tools in the United States.
genuine ostrich feather dusters is our specialty and our vast selection is unparalleled.
a region recognized world wide as producing the best ostrich feathers available.
We know your needs! Alta Dusting Products, Inc. evolved from a building maintenance company with employees "in the trenches" cleaning accounts on a daily basis for 18 years. Our company came to rely on Feather Dusters as a staple in the industry, yet over the years found it harder and harder to find quality dusters. New technologies have tried to duplicate feather dusters, but nothing has come close to the finger-reaching capabilities that individual feathers have when dusting intricate nooks and crannies. Each ostrich feather has tiny barbules that attract the dust as each feather reaches around and through cluttered spaces, making feather dusters the perfect time-tested tool for any cleaning occasion.
South African ostrich feathers are well-known as the best ostrich feathers available on the world market. Since the mid 1800's, ostrich birds have been farmed in the Western Cape Region of South Africa—specifically in the arid region from Mossel Bay to Oudtshoorn. They are a unique sub-species—cross-bred over time—officially known as "Struthio camelus, var. domesticus Swart"* The quality and reputation of feather production in the area is the result of many factors, including bird genetics, generations of experience/traditions carried on by skilled farmers, and the suitable arid weather and soil suitable for farming.
How are feathers obtained? Are ostriches harmed in any way?
There are two ways in which feathers are obtained from ostrich birds. The first is through the natural molting process from what are called "Breeder" birds—where birds are "plucked" in order to obtain their feathers. They can be plucked yearly for an average of 10 years. Plucking does not harm the birds, and a significant portion of feathers are left to ensure the birds have enough feathers for warmth. Plucking "Breeder" birds is the only way "black" adult male feathers are obtained. The second way feathers are obtained is through being a by-product of the slaughtering process. It needs to be understood, however, that—like cattle in the United States—ostrich birds are primarily raised for meat and leather. Ostrich meat is very popular in South Africa and the European Union. Feathers are given very little value in the slaughter process, and are simply a by-product of the other larger industries.
Floss feathers are the softest ostrich feathers available, and come from the underneath part of the ostrich bird's wing. They are typically light gray, brown, or blonde in color—and tend to be shorter in length.
Black feathers only come from the adult male birds, and are softer and more "stringy," in nature, making it a more premium feather. Black feathers are more rare because they only come from Adult "breeder" birds which are only raised for their feathers. (See How are feathers obtained above).
Drab (Gray or Brown) feathers come from adult female ostrich birds. This includes the larger and longer plume feathers as well as the shorter drab feathers. Gray or brown drab feathers are also obtained, however, by young birds of either gender with their "second-growth" feathers ("second growth" feathers defined below).
Chick Feathers are the most economical and least desirable of the ostrich feathers. They are called chick feathers because they are typically obtained from young ostrich birds less than one year old. These "initial growth" feathers must be plucked on young birds in order for the more desirable softer/rounder feather plumes to grow in as "second-growth" feathers. Chick feathers are easily identifiable as they are very pointed in nature, stark, and typically have no soft barbules at the tips of the feathers.
There are two main categories of dusting tools: Detailing Dusters, and Broad Surface Dusters. Feather Dusters are the tool for detail dusting because the fingers and barbules of the feathers stretch and reach around trinkets and knick-knacks on desks, counters, bookshelves, etc. Wool, synthetic, and microfiber dusters are more popular as Broad Surface Dusters, and are perfect for cleaning broad surfaces like walls, ceilings, open desktops, etc.
Wool Dusters, also known as "lambswool," or "lambskin" dusters, have fine, crimped fibers that form an intricate network which, when combined with the natural lanolin and scale-like surface of the wool fiber, trap and hold dust until spun free.
Synthetic Dusters, also known as "rainbow," or "magic" dusters, are less expensive than wool or feather dusters, and differ in that they rely mostly on static electricity to attract dust particles when cleaning.
Microfiber Dusters are a newer technology, and refers to dusters that utilize synthetic fibers less than one denier thick (which is a unit of measurement making the fibers thinner than even 1 strand of silk). The fibers have excellent wicking properties, which means the material will absorb liquids quickly and effectively without leaving behind lint or a residue on the cleaning surface.
Alta Dusting Products, Inc. has a range of dusters in these categories to meet your individual needs.

In our Monkey Business series, we sit down with creative internal communications pros, HR top-performers and email gurus to get the best tips and tricks to engage employees, fix your culture, and help you improve business performance.
As an internal comms pro, you know how hard it can be to make businesses understand the importance of internal communication and demonstrate the connection between employee engagement and ROI.
But the importance of internal communication is increasing rapidly as businesses are beginning to realize they need to invest in effective internal comms to boost employee engagement.
According to Gallup, employee engagement at most organizations is extremely low, amplifying the importance of internal communication in organizations. With millennials and Gen Z entering the workforce, organizations are starting to take employee engagement more seriously in order to attract and retain a multigenerational workforce.
"There is a clear change in the way the younger generation work and their connection to technology is generally not seen in other generations," says Jenni Field, Communications Consultant and Director of Redefining Communications.
Jenni has worked in communications for over 13 years and specializes in helping organizations understand the importance of internal communication in helping drive better business results.
Jenni has worked in a variety of sectors including the public sector, defence, advertising, retail and hospitality industries.
She has set up global communications functions, specialised in media relations and internal communications and has helped companies through major change programmes, digital adoption challenges and streamlining their PR efforts for the best results.
Jenni is also the co-founder of The IC Crowd, which she started with internal comms pros, Rachel Miller and Dana Leeson, to support internal communicators all over the world and help bring a network of communicators together.
We recently had a chance to catch up with her to discuss the importance of internal communication, the problems with engaging millennials in the workplace and the challenges faced by internal comms pros. Let's get into it!
1) How did you end up working in internal communications? What captivated you about this profession?
I always wanted to work in PR as I had a keen interest in business. I pursued a degree in Marketing and after university, my first job was as a communications assistant in local government.
I have specialised in various areas within PR but internal communication really called me because it mattered to people who you were with everyday and you could be really creative with your approach to the organisational challenges.
2) How would you define internal communication? And what makes someone a good communicator?
A good communicator is someone who is clear, consistent and considerate.
3) You've worked in-house for many years and now you're heading your own consultancy. What led you here? And because you're a Simon Sinek fan, I'd also love to ask, what is your WHY?
This question made me smile. I was often told to give consultancy a try but I never felt I was ready. In my last in-house role, I was able to develop other skills within communication so it felt like the right time to give it a try.
I'm incredibly passionate about being a professional communicator and being a consultant allows me to help people be the best they can and I really enjoy that.
I always say that I do what I do because I want to change the world – nothing like a big ambition!
4) The world of IC is a vibrant, highly engaged, global community. How important do you think it is for IC professionals to have a global support system? And is this what motivated you to start the IC Crowd?
It's incredibly important. The network for internal communicators is a really safe place and one I would be lost without.
My work with the Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR) has given me a really broad network across PR and I have found mentors, coaches and friends through it.
Most people have tried to do what you are doing so the network is a great sense check for the work you're doing.
We created The IC Crowd because we want to help people succeed. We all wanted there to be a place for people to share and connect and The IC Crowd was our solution.
The Big Yak was created to help those chatting on Twitter come together in real life and the response to ticket sales always astounds us.
5) Do you think many IC pros tend to focus more on the tactics rather than on a strategy?
Unfortunately the pace of business is not allowing IC pros the time to stop and think – we need to get better at pushing back on leaders too.
We can be strategic with the tactical but we need to start with insight – if you don't have a strategy, at least do some research into what people need and want. Without that you're not doing what is right for the organisation and the people.
We can move away from this in a few ways. As I said, we need to push back more. I have set up several internal communication functions and each time, I tell my leadership team it will be three months before you see the strategy – we need to have time to listen.
We also need to recognize that we are professional communicators and we need to invest time in ourselves to demonstrate credibility. In doing this, we signal the importance of internal communication and what we are doing and that it isn't something just anyone can do.
6) Given the rapid technological disruptions happening around us, how can IC pros deal with change and how can they engage millennials in the workplace?
Read Hilary Scarlett's book about neuroscience and organisational change – that's the best advice i can give as it helps you help leaders understand the impact of change on human beings.
We need to be clear on what is change and what constitutes normal business cycles – it is easy to think of everything as a change programme but this won't be sustainable for a small team.
Engaging millennials in the workplace is a good topic. You have to believe in generational theory to have this debate and this is tricky to prove.
However, there is a clear change in the way the younger generation work and their connection to technology is generally not seen in other generations.
If you watch the interview with Simon Sinek on millennials and read the book on organisational change, you'll easily see how the two are linked.
Our need to get the work done to the detriment of social connections at work is what is having the impact on engagement and relationships.
7) What is one piece of internal communications content you've seen or worked on that you've absolutely loved?
I'm really proud of the work I did to launch a new company strategy. It was the first time I was able to work with the Board on messaging, shape a conference agenda and work on content and scripts and create toolkits to see it embedded through the business.
I love campaigns and content that demonstrate the culture of an organisation, so anything that clearly signals that is a winner in my book!
8) What do you wish you knew when you first started your career in internal comms?
I wish I'd known about networks and industry bodies or experts. I still remember Melcrum calling me and I had no idea who they were or what they did and I had been working in communications for about 4 years at that point.
9) A lot of IC professionals talk about getting executive buy-in and a seat at the table with the C-Suite. What, in your opinion, is an effective path towards gaining the "Trusted Advisor" status with the C-suite?
Be consistent, be an expert, be trustworthy and display goodwill. I was once told my opinion was not enough in the boardroom. So I completed the CIPR diploma in internal communications. Now I had the facts and theory to back up what I was saying and I was able to demonstrate real expertise.
Don't get hung up on having a seat at the table. Influence those who do have a seat and work hard to earn one there if you think it will help you achieve what you need/want to do.
10) ContactMonkey is all about creating beautiful emails and tracking employee engagement via emails. What's an internal email you've received that you actually loved? What makes a good email?
I like anything that breaks through the noise and makes me laugh/smile or gasp. Simplicity is best for me. I think a good email is one that is clear. It should clearly tell me what do you want me to do and by when.
11) Lastly, what do you think are some of the future trends IC pros should keep an eye out for in 2019?
I think we will see trends continuing to focus on purpose and people. Wellbeing is continuing to rise on the agenda and i think this will come over to internal comms as a link to the social connections we make through the way we communicate at work.
I also think we are starting to see a better understanding around the importance of internal communication. A lot of my clients are business leaders/operations directors etc. rather than communications teams so this is really encouraging.
The measurement debate will continue and I hope the research we are doing through CIPR Inside will help us move that conversation forward.

Triangle, triangle, triangle, triangle, triangle, together with eight filamented petals, with a bhupura. Place Devi here, and in the heart and other limbs meditate on Her.
Meditate on Kalika as an adolescent, the colour of a thunder cloud, with crooked teeth, her hands bestowing boons, removing fear, and holding a sword and a head.
Kali, Kapalini, Kulla, Kurukulla, Virodhini and Vipracitta are in the six angles. Ugra, Ugraprabha, Dipta, Nila, Ghana, Balaka, Matra, Mudra and Mita are in the nine angles. Brahmi, Narayani, Maheshvari, Chamunda, Varahi, Narasimhi, Kaumari and Aparajita are in the eight petals. Madhava, Rudra, Vinayaka and Saurah are in the four angles. The dikpalas are in the directions.
Worship Devi in all the limbs, making the oblation with nectar and doing puja with the pancatattva. This is how devotees become saints.
The first result is that enemies become friends. Reciting the mantra protects against theft. The devotee becomes wealthy. This is the result of devotion to Tara, Durga or Sundari. All Bhutas sleep, while the black limbed one awakes. He without a son who studies this Upanishad of the black limbed one, gets a son. It is the equivalent of bathing in water like the Ganges, going to the holy places, sacrifice and homa.


Heartlessness is the absence of heart. This is meant in the sense of the literal energetic state of the individual. Individuals may have a physical heart but it is possible for their heart to not be involved in their thought/will/action/emotional life processes. The heart is the balancing centre in the human energy system and it is the location/organ where thoughts and emotions are bonded in harmony. If there is no bonding occurring, then thoughts exist without the guidance of emotion/intuition and can become psychopathic and lost. In such a disturbed state, the emotions can be unbalanced and destructive - lacking the insight provided by the thinking parts of self. Thought and emotion need to be balanced in the heart. A state of heartlessness exists when denial within the self causes thoughts and emotions to separate and the most common cause of this is due to our mind deciding it's ok to choose not to feel some of our real feelings.
The french word for heart is cœur, which is where english gets 'courage' from. This is reflective of the way that a strong hearted individual will be strong in all ways and courageous. The right balance of spirit and will that occur when thoughts and emotions are harmonically aligned in the heart is a foundation from which strength of all kinds can be born and continue to expand. The way to ensure a healthy heart bond is to be consistent in the choice to unconditionally accept all emotions. You can read more on this subject here.
I just posted in the Crystals & Gemstones zone about Kunzite, it was recommended by this really wise person who somehow knew I needed to look deeper into the nature of that particular crystal. At any rate, there is something about what you are saying here with creating a balance between the heart and mind. If you want to read it, it's here. Serendipity, again.

The commissioning of the world's largest industrial waste gasification plant at Oldbury, West Midlands is heralding a revolution in car recycling.
Chinook Sciences has developed new technology to allow almost 100 per cent of old vehicles to be recycled or turned into energy, and this technology has been adopted by the Europe's largest car recycler at its processing plant in Oldbury.
One million End-of-Life Vehicles are scrapped each year in Britain, and the Oldbury joint venture between Chinook Sciences and European Metals Recycling will undoubtedly improve the recycling rate, above the European Directive set in January 2006 for scrapped cars of 85 per cent.
Last year, Britain achieved 88 per cent according to the British Metals Recycling Association, but from January next year, the bar rises to 95 per cent.
"The reality is that the only way those targets are going to be met is to get into this sort of technology. You can't meet those targets by dismantling spare parts off a car," says Graeme Carus, EMR's director of business development.
The Green Investment Bank recently reported that the UK generated 85 million tonnes of waste with a quarter ending up in landfill. Within the waste industry, metal recycling is a £5.6 billion a year business with 13m tonnes of steel, aluminium and other metals recovered from cars, food and drink cans, cookers, fridges and other white goods in 2005, according to the British Metals Recycling Association.

My maternal grandparents left an indelible mark on my psyche regarding the voting process. For as long as I can remember, my grandfather was a poll worker. I never asked him why, but knowing his character, it was probably one way he could make sure that the process was fair. Also, local candidates were always stopping by our house to chat with my grandfather. What the adults didn't realize was the kid was paying close attention and absorbing every single word. It didn't take me long to grasp that those types of discussions influenced the power structure of my small town. I also learned quite a bit which shaped my own involvement in the political process.
When I was in the second grade, I made my first trip to the polls with my grandmother. I stood in the voting booth and had many questions. Because I didn't know that voting was a private matter, I proceeded to ask loudly, "who are you voting for; why are you voting; what's a Democrat……" until she finally shhhhhh me and said she would explain it to me later. Although the height of the civil rights movement had ended a few years earlier, my grandmother never ever mentioned anything about the issues of race vs. voting. She never told me that people lost their lives in order to be granted the right to vote. Although I grew up in rural North Carolina, the reason that she didn't mention it could be because my community was isolated from the cruelties of most the South had endured. My community was predominately Native American – over 90%. Therefore, we were minorities among a larger group of minorities. The Native Americans had officially ran the KKK away from my county, so the Jim Crow effects were not as prevalent. After she explained the differences in the candidates, the importance of exercising the right to vote and that each vote counts, I knew I wanted to vote. I wanted my voice heard too.
Then, another caller who identified himself as "Black Achievement" answered by asking "what's the point of stopping at a red light?" Scott responded, "one is so that you don't get run over by oncoming traffic." His response was a great metaphor for why you should vote, so that you don't get run over.
PLEASE REGISTER & EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO VOTE!

Twitter Beefs Up Its Anti-Troll Tools
Author: Mat HonanMat Honan
Ariel Zambelich/WIRED
Twitter announced a couple of changes to the way it lets its users deal with harassment today. The company is making it easier for people to report harassment, even when it's aimed at someone else, and it's giving the block feature more power.
The reporting tools for harassment, which have been redesigned for mobile, will now be more streamlined and conversational. It will ask who is being affected (you or someone else) and what the nature of the harassment is—for example if violent threats are being made. If you are reporting harassment yourself, there's an option to fill in more details. Tick off those steps, and the company will review the complaint and—it says—act on them much faster than it has in the past.
Block has gotten better too. Previously, while blocking a person kept them from following you, they could still head over to your profile page and see all your tweets. Now, if you block someone, as long as they are logged in, they won't be able to view anything on your profile page. However, opening that page in another, logged-out browser will still let anyone see your public tweets. But Twitter's A/B testing has apparently shown that when people have to go to another browser (or log out) to see a profile that has blocked them, they are far less likely to continue trying to interact with it.
And because it's making block a little block-ier, Twitter is also adding a page where you can see everyone you've blocked in the past. That will let you make sure you've got your troll collection up to date, and also let you move people over to mute, or restore them completely if they're no longer bothering you.
It's all pretty good stuff, if a little overdue. Twitter has been dealing with harassment issues since its earliest days, and has come under a lot of fire, especially in the last two years, for not doing more to protect its users. These are small steps, but they're moving in the right direction at least.


70th Anniversary Tour of Hungary 2017.
Forty representatives of the Stonehaven Chorus have just returned from a wonderful tour of Hungary. Each day was filled with amazing experiences.
The choir and musical director received warm and appreciative responses from their audiences to their performances in Piliscsaba, Pilisvorosvar, Esztergom Basilica and Dorog. They even gathered crowds of onlookers as they sang some Scottish songs, by request of some school children, outside the Basilica at Esztergom and on their final day, in Heroes Square Budapest, in Hungarian to appreciative tourists and locals. It is certain that their attempts to greet audiences and sing to them in the Hungarian language brought them closer together in spirit.
The tour itinerary, which covered visits to many of the beautiful sights of Budapest, including the Royal Castle of Buda, the Matthias Church, the Fisherman's Bastion, the Great Market Hall, and Heroes Square, also included visits further afield to, Szentendre, Visegrad and into the Steppe countryside, all of which were very impressive.
The meals and services at their hotel, concert venues and various restaurants were of a good standard and the entertainments provided at the "52nd International Choir Festival" in Dorog, the "Knight's Tournament" at Solomon Tower and the Horse Show and Musical Lunch provided at Tanyacsarda, were all excellent.
It was a tour where all participants bonded as friends enjoying great moments together, such as singing in the magnificence of the Esztergom Basilica, Hungary's largest church. Gaining some new Hungarian friends and learning and experiencing so much of the history of this beautiful country whilst sharing fun and companionship together.
See some of the many photographs taken by members on our "Photos page".
The staff of the Hungarian Specialist Travel agency "Musik-Land" were so obliging, polite and efficient and made the planning of this trip very simple. The Hungarian Tour guide was excellent and had a vast knowledge of the history of Hungary and was so well versed in the English language that we never encountered a problem with understanding one another. We even understood and shared in all of his hilarious Hungarian jokes! A "Musik-Land" representative also accompanied us throughout the trip and was extremely helpful and dealt promptly with any queries we had. Our experienced coach driver, was very mannerable and to the delight of our ladies, very attractive!!
"Musik-Land", are a specialised, registered travel agency whose main aims are to show the beauty of Hungary through music, to sing, dance and play music with other cultural groups and to organise tours of Hungary as a responsible, international travel operator. (registration number: R-0737).
We highly recommend "Musik-Land", to any choirs considering a tour to Hungary.
or contact Evelyn, Chorus Tour Organiser, via the Webmaster, for further information.
Jo Robinson, VisitScotland Regional Director, said: "It is wonderful to hear that whilst in Hungary, members of the Stonehaven Chorus were such great ambassadors for Scotland and that they were able to treat their Hungarian audiences to songs sung in Gaelic as well as some of Robert Burns' words.
This exciting adventure took us to Reykjavik and the Snaefellnes Peninsula, with recitals at the Hateigskirkja, Stykkisholmur and Reykholt, as well as various less formal opportunities to sing.
This was the choir's first trip to the continent, and it was with much excitement that we boarded the plane in Aberdeen on our journey to Cologne. There were three exciting events arranged - a recital in the Christ Konig Church in Kempen, an opportunity to sing in Cologne Cathedral and a joint concert with the Bensburger Kammerchor. These events were squeezed in between opportunities to sightsee, sample German beer and Eiswein, and eat hearty meals. We were met with generous hospitality and warm friendship at all of the venues, and we all have wonderful memories of the beautiful churches, the magnificent cathedral and the marvelous party hosted by the Bensburger Kammerchor on our last night.
Here are some of the comments we have received from audience members when on earlier tours.
"On April 1, I took a little quiet time in Hereford Cathedral. It turned out to be far more than that. I am primarily a jazz and soul music person, and my only previous experience of choral music had been limited to the Christmas radio broadcast from King's College Chapel, a sort of seasonal background to a great deal of cooking. A seamless sound and pleasant, but rather monotonous for my own taste. On this occasion, however, I was lucky enough to catch a concert given by the Stonehaven Choir.
Their first number, A Delyn Aur, moved me to tears. Each voice had its own individual sweetness and strength, quite distinct from the others, yet harmonising wonderfully, creating the most subtle resonances within the soundbox of the old stones. Does the Cathedral have exceptional acoustic properties? Such amazing changes. The overall sound, balanced but dynamic, had the same effect on me as Gorecki's 3rd symphony, a lifting of the spirit and beyond the ordinary. Harp of God is right.
I now understand the purpose of sacred music. It cleanses the mind and soothes the spirit. To quote from one of the readings - in themselves a work of art - "There is not any musical instrument comparable to the voices of men.."
Congratulations to the Choir and to the Choirmaster, your music has been a personal revelation to me. Also to the Cathedral, always, for creating the possibility of such revelations in such a great building surrounded by cascades of Easter lilies. These things make the rest of the world more bearable."
"Even in October, Fotheringhay church is colder inside than out. The Stonehaven Chorus immediately warmed its audience with a glowing performance of two movements from Rachmaninov's Vespers. This small chamber choir sings with impressive confidence and clarity. Their programme of Words and Music from the Northlands included challenging and unusual works of modern Scandinavian composers as well as a moving arrangement of Sibelius's Finlandia. Their conductor John Hearne arranged the most memorable and unusual item. 'The Seagull' takes a Gaelic folk song and creates an atmospheric tone poem of magical sounds, truly evocative of the rocky harbour of Stonehaven. "
"I can honestly say that we, southerners, have rarely experienced such a varied, interesting and polished musical event in our church. In the days following the concert I met parishioners who were extremely pleased and generous with their praise, describing the performance as 'brilliant', 'beautiful', 'professional' and so accomplished. The folk of Elham wish to say 'well done' and a heartfelt 'thank you' to John Hearne and all members of the Stonehaven Chorus for travelling so far to entertain us. We now have a special link with musical friends in Scotland who will, we hope, return one day"

14.6 Losing You - Drifting
Fiction Page
A car was waiting for them at the station. The dinner, long, awkward, and tense went as well as could be expected. Ellette resorted to silence, and Rand did his best to get them both through the ordeal. They were a pleasant enough family, Rand's stepmother and father, but she couldn't help but feel terribly out of place. She hardly ate and couldn't wait to get to the cabin, their retreat, their little sanctuary for the evening.
They found it as they had left it, padlock loose and the shutters in the upstairs room still ajar. Rand went about unloading the groceries in the kitchen while Ellette put their things in the master bedroom. She kicked off her boots, stripped off the dress, worked her way out of her leggings, and pulled on her more comfortable sleep clothes, a loose t-shirt, and sweats.
Settling into the only faintly musty smelling couch, she flipped on the television, finding mostly static. Eventually, she found some semblance of actual programming and settled in for whatever the mountainous region had to offer. There were about two channels of decipherable programming and she decided on her favorite offering of two, an old action flick.
When Rand emerged from the kitchen, he settled on the arm of the couch. His fingers were working at some melody only he could hear, and the flutter of movement made it clear he wouldn't be settling in to watch the movie with her any time soon.
"You know, we've still got some light left, you want to show me around outside?" she asked after a while, flipping off the TV.
"Ah," he fumbled, glancing down at her, "What would you like to see?"
She laughed and got up. "Anything. You know the area better than I do," she called over her shoulder as she went to pull on some jeans and shoes. "And get your flute. I know you're dying to."
He stilled his hands and wiped them on his pants guiltily. "That obvious, eh?"
"Just a little, though you know... it won't be like..." she couldn't finish. Like the dream, where you were healed, when you could play like you did before. Even though they were in the place where he'd been whole again, the reality was, that had been a dream. The unspoken words hung between them, and he quickly changed the subject.
"Let's go see if there's a boat in the shed, see if it'll hold water. The stars from the middle of the lake are unbelievable."
"You want to go out at night?" She wasn't the outdoorsy type, and being on the water in this wilderness in the dark was not what she'd had in mind.
"Sure, I used to do it all the time as a kid," he responded nonchalantly, holding the door for her.
She nodded and let him lead the way out to the old boat shed. It was latched, but not locked. An old rowboat and a canoe were housed there. Rand went over every inch of the old metal boat in the fading light before asking her to help him haul it out to the little dock. He then gathered an armful of the spare lifejackets in the shed and tossed them into the bottom of the craft. Ellette, arms crossed against the cold, watched him with a raised brow.
"Are you expecting guests? Or do you think those will help if this rickety piece of metal springs a leak?" she asked incredulously.
He smiled and shook his head. "You'll see, now let's go get some jackets. It's getting chilly."
"I was about to do exactly that," she replied, rubbing her arms.
Back at the cabin, Rand not only grabbed a warm jacket, but dug around for a small basket in which to pack some snacks, slipped his flute in next to them, and found an old blanket tied into a bundle.
"Are we camping on the lake?" Ellette pondered, as she pulled her sweater on and draped a light wind jacket over her arm.
"Come on," was his only reply as he tossed the bundle of the blanket at her.
She caught it and trailed him out to the lake. The light was fading fast, and the moon hung ominously. She was only half-full tonight, her light not nearly as bright as it might have been. Yet the pull of the goddess was still strong. Ellette shivered and pulled on her jacket, willing down the fear of the moon, of her powers that had been growing in her of late.
Once the snacks, blanket, and Ellette were stowed safely at the front of the boat, Rand pushed it into the water and climbed in. As the little metal craft began to rock in the light current their movement made, Ellette slid off her seat into the bottom, thankful for the pile of lifejackets that kept her from having to sit on the cold metal.
Rand, busy with adjusting the oars and pushing the boat off only spared her a quick glance and a grin. Then, with a smooth and steady motion, he began to row them out onto the lake. Stroke after stroke, they were propelled towards the center, further from the land, further from warmth, comfort, and stability. Ellette found herself clinging to the seat behind her, staring at the receding shoreline with longing.
Once the shore was an impossibly long swim away from them on all sides when the motion stopped. With practiced ease, he settled the oars into place, resting along the side of the boat. She sighed with relief, but it was too soon. He stood, rocking the small craft once more, bent, and dropped something overboard. It took her a moment to realize that the cement-filled bucket on a chain was the anchor.
It was only then that he turned to face her. "Still wondering what the lifejackets were for?"
She shook her head and slowly eased onto the seat.
"Look up," he said, a hint of nostalgia in his voice.
She obeyed, and what she found was stunning. Never before had she seen the night sky ablaze with so many stars. A long, soft, "Oh," was all she managed. After a moment, the boat began to rock once more as Rand moved to settle down on the bottom of the boat, his head resting on the bench beside her, a life jacket as a pillow. His legs were draped lazily over the bench he'd sat on while rowing.
"Was a lot more comfortable as a kid," he mused.
She reached down and ruffled his hair as he had done to her so many times. "Grown a bit since then, have you?"
"Just a little," he said with a long sigh. "Come on, this is a lot better than that meadow in the park."
She gave in and settled down next to him, carefully and slowly, doing her best to avoid rocking the boat. At first, they didn't speak. The stars glowing in the heavens, like a vast school of fish shimmering in an endless ocean, held their attention. It amazed her just how many there were, the brilliance of them, the variety of colors, the clusters and shapes they formed. It was as if they'd stepped off the face of the earth and were floating in space, no atmosphere between them and the rest of all creation.
"There's so many, it's a little harder to find the constellations. I used to know them all..." Rand murmured. "Mother taught me, right out here, just like this."
"I wish I could have met her..." Ellette said before she could catch herself. It felt taboo. She had no right to impose her thoughts on his memories. She knew nothing of the woman except for vague references and a photo on the wall.
"She would have loved you," he sighed and adjusted his position so he could put an arm around her. "She never really liked Roxie. I mean, she did like Roxie, but I know she felt that she wasn't the right fit for me. Roxie was too much like my father...."
"What happened to her, your mother?" Ellette whispered. The mention of Roxie, the thought of being compared to his estranged wife made her uneasy. Yet changing the subject to his mother in such a way, though she wanted to know she dreaded the answer.
"Lupus," he answered simply. "She was sick for a long time, off and on my entire life. She held on after Reid, and after..." He paused, considering how to continue. "After I recovered," he tried, "her body finally gave out." He squeezed her shoulder, his eyes on the stars. "We all knew it was coming, and I think it was a relief for her. Mother was a very gentle soul. But for most of her adult life, she was like a caged bird. My father was no tyrant, but he'd long since grown out of the rebellious boy who went against his family to marry the hippy girl he met in college. Mother, though, she stayed that girl, and I owe who I am to that."
Ellette turned to wrap her arms around him, her face pressed against his chest. "I really wish I could have met her," she murmured. "My mother was like that..."
He almost sat up at this revelation, rocking the boat. "Wait, what? I thought you were in foster care...?" Ellette clung to him, eyes widened at the movement.
"Well, I had a mother before that." Ellette laughed, but it came out bitter and choked. True, she rarely spoke of it. Most of her childhood was a painful blur. "When mother was... healthy, she was so perfect, so wonderful." It hurt to remember, the good and the bad. They were so intertwined, so inseparable. It was easier to keep it all buried, deep down inside.
Rand stroked her hair, letting the silence hang between them. Silence and patience were what she craved, what she needed. He'd learned that long ago with her. "Tell me more about your mother, please?" she managed after a while.
"Well," Rand considered, "she loved this cabin and this lake. This was her sanctuary. Once I'd left for college, she'd be up here more often than not. It drove father nuts.
"He'd leave on a business trip and my ailing mother would have one of the drivers bring her up here, miles away from a hospital. She'd come back, hunched and aching from arthritis, and say, 'I'm fine, I'm fine. Being a little tired never killed anyone.' Oh, he'd go beet red, which is pretty hard with his complexion, and go into a lecture about how serious her condition was. The funny thing is, she always knew when she was getting sick, and coming here never resulted in a hospital visit."
He paused for a moment then, and they were left to listen to the soft sounds of the forest around them. The lap of the water against the side of the metal boat, the crickets, and the chorus of frogs along the shoreline.
"Even though we all knew she was getting sicker, I don't think father or I really expected her to go. She knew. She'd come to terms with it, spoke of it. Even though Father had been cheating on her for years, he still loved her in his way. It was hard, that last trip to the hospital. All she'd done to prepare us, it wasn't enough. I still have a hard time believing she's gone. I feel like I could pick up the phone and call her up any time. That she's here, at the cabin, waiting for me to visit.
"I think that's why I avoided it so long, and yet why I felt we should come here. Seeing it empty, it has helped provide closure. I've been able to come to enjoy this place and remember it fondly." He sat up then as if talking it through had helped him to understand his purpose in this place. Ellette sat up reluctantly, feeling suddenly chilled in the absence of his body beside hers. She rubbed her arms and blinked up at him as he climbed into position on the bench. He pulled off his jacket and draped it over her, and she snuggled into the warmth of it, sliding back down into the bottom of the boat, safe and secure.
He sat there for a while, silent and pondering. Ellette felt herself drifting, her eyelids drooping. After some time, he fished his flute from the bag from where it nestled amongst their untouched snacks. His fingers were stiff from the cold, and the tune was slow and faltering. Despite his struggle with uncooperative hands, the sound of him playing was comforting, almost haunting. She was lulled into sleep before she could catch herself.

Apologies for the delay in updates. Life kinda caught up with me. I'll try and get these next few chapters scheduled out but they may not be updated as frequently as I'd previously hoped.

Clinging to a two-run lead on Wednesday night in a game it needed to win to keep hard-earned momentum alive, South Carolina, with its back against the wall, turned to the reigning SEC Pitcher of the Week.
Senior Dixie Raley, the third Gamecock pitcher to appear against Furman, entered with the tying run at the plate and a runner on second in the top of the seventh inning. Just as she was this past weekend against No. 4 Alabama, she was dominant, getting three outs to preserve a 9-7 Gamecock win over the Paladins.
The win is the Gamecocks 21st straight in non-conference play.
Mackenzie Boesel led the South Carolina offense. The second baseman went 2 for 3 with two doubles, two runs, two RBI and a walk. Kennedy Clark had 3 RBI thanks to a two-run moonshot in the sixth that gave the home team some breathing room.
Cayla Drotar and Alyssa Kumiyama also chipped in with two RBI each.
In the circle, Karly Heath made her 11th start and went four innings. She allowed two runs on five hits while striking out four and allowing a walk. Kelsey Oh struggled in relief, allowing five runs on six hits with five strikeouts in two innings.
Raley earned the save pitching one full inning and stranding her inherited runner.
The Gamecocks' offense got off to a hot start when Mackenzie Boesel led off with a double. Jana Johns, batting in the two-hole for the injured Kenzi Maguire, moved her to third on a sacrifice fly that just missed leaving the ballpark.
Clark then walked, setting up runners on the corners for Drotar. Drotar did her job, sending Boesel home on a fly ball to left field that the Paladins' left fielder couldn't corral. Kumiyama then brought home Alex Fulmer, who pinch ran for Drotar, and Clark, with a single up the middle to give the Gamecocks a 3-0 lead.
After a scoreless second inning, Heath found herself in a two-on, one-out situation in the third. Heath allowed two RBI singles sandwiched around a strikeout, which cut her three-run lead to one.
The three-run lead would be restored, and then some, in the fourth.
Alexis Lindsey led off with a walk before Heath helped her own cause with a bunt single. Lindsey advanced to third on a throwing error before Heath stole second to give Boesel two runners in scoring position.
The junior made no mistake and recorded her second double of the night on a shot to the left field corner to give South Carolina a 5-2 lead.
The Gamecocks weren't done. Clark and Drotar followed Boesel with back-to-back RBI doubles to extend the South Carolina lead to 7-2.
It was a good thing the Gamecocks had some wiggle room, because Oh came in and struggled in the top of the fifth. The sophomore allowed a single and then walked two batters to load the bases. Furman wound up scoring four runs in the inning.
Clark picked up her teammate, hitting the massive home run off the scoreboard to give the Gamecocks a 9-6 lead in the bottom of the sixth.
The Gamecocks return to SEC action with a trip to No. 12 Auburn in a weekend series looking to make up ground in a tight SEC. The Gamecocks currently sit at 10th (5-9) with fourth place, currently held by Ole Miss (7-4), only a few games ahead in the standings.
