From our July 2016 issue.
Around Kezar Lake, a preference for quiet recreational pursuits is so widely shared as to be a de facto rule.
Maybe it's the traditions that make it seem that way — perennial rituals like jumping off the Narrows Bridge on a steamy July afternoon, playing softball into the purple twilight on a field rimmed with birches, or anchoring off a white-sand beach at sunset to eavesdrop on the singers at Quisisana Resort.
Count Lee Conary among the charmed. In the 1960s, when he was a 10-year-old on a camping vacation with his parents, Conary declared his intention to buy Kezar Lake Marina, a jigsaw puzzle of docks and boats on The Narrows, which links Middle and Lower bays. "Kezar gets in your soul, and once it's there, it's the place you think about the rest of the year," says Conary, still boyish with brilliant-blue eyes and sandy hair curling over the collar of his t-shirt. True to his word, he and his father, David Conary, bought the marina in 1990, and even now, after a quarter-century of servicing boats, he remains under Kezar's spell. He greets his regulars with the welcome that's heard everywhere around the lake: "Just another day in paradise," he says with a grin. And he believes it.
Before we delve any deeper into the mythology of Kezar Lake, let's get one rural legend out of the way: National Geographic never named Kezar one of the three most beautiful lakes in the world.
If that's true (and even if it isn't), it's a nice flourish on the Kezar mystique, which Vallée himself helped create: Kezar is the old-fashioned glamour girl of Maine lakes, a rural retreat with understated elegance and an etiquette best summed up as no showing off, whether by driving noisy jet skis (so reviled here that few dare to use them) or building McMansions (most homes, even the million-dollar ones, recede into the piney shoreline), or behaving like a big shot even if you are one (novelist Stephen King eats breakfast at Rosie's counter as unobtrusively as anyone who is rich and famous can).
Clubs like Severance Lodge (here) and Westways have helped create a code of polite behavior on the lake.

Thursday evening softball at Westways is a 50-year-old tradition.
National Geographic rumor aside, Kezar Lake is uncommonly beautiful. Carving a deep, squiggly J along the easternmost edge of the rugged White Mountains, it stretches nearly 10 miles, never more than a mile wide, through the pastoral town of Lovell, with dips into Stoneham and Stow. Kezar is just 15 miles from the busy Fryeburg, Maine/Conway, New Hampshire border, but most travelers never see it, heeling instead to the well-beaten path of Route 302, which swings by Sebago Lake, Kezar's big, boisterous, and gregarious opposite, on its way to the coast.
Even at the height of summer, Lovell's Main Street (Route 5) has the feel of a backcountry lane, with pretty farmhouses strung out at wide intervals, and here and there an antiques or craft shop that may be open — or not. The village is a smattering of buildings, including Rosie's and a public library that is surprisingly well appointed for a town of 1,140, thanks in part to benefactors like Stephen and Tabitha King. A couple of miles north, down a side road, is the town's only pub — Ebenezer's, a fine one — and beyond that is Center Lovell Inn, which Virgin Island innkeepers Rose and Prince Adams won in an essay contest that made national news a year-and-a-half ago. The inn is Lovell's only option for fine dining and one of just two places offering short-term lodging. The other, Pleasant Point Inn, sits lakeside out of view, which leads us to another contributor to Kezar's sense of seclusion: Except at The Narrows, Kezar is entirely hidden by woods from the roads that encircle it. Kezar is the big Maine lake that feels like a small, private pond.
Kezar hasn't always been Lovell's main attraction. The town's first hotel, the Fairview, opened in 1861, catering to a clientele that was more interested in gazing upon the White Mountains — dubbed the "American Alps" by travel writers at the time — than the lake. As for the locals, they pastured their cows and grew crops right up to the water's edge and viewed Kezar "as a waste of good farmland," Cathy Stone says.
Kezar's reputation as a refined backwoods getaway deepened with the ensuing years. Brown's Camps, whose guides paddled well-heeled sportsmen to the best fishing spots, evolved into Severance Lodge, where white-jacketed waiters served five-course dinners and pianist E. Lillian Severance performed her own composition, "Lake Kezar Waltz," on the point that juts into Middle Bay. Wealthy parents in Philadelphia, New York, and Boston sent their daughters to Camp Mudjekeewis for a dose of country air and sunshine (alumna include Bette Davis and Jane Fonda). Diamond Match Company president William Armstrong Fairburn hosted clients at Westways, a rustic-looking corporate retreat with swanky amenities like a two-lane bowling alley and fives court (similar to a squash court but designed for the English handball game fives). There were touches of flamboyance: Don Dickerman, the dashing but eccentric owner of Greenwich Village's famed Pirates' Den Nightclub, was often seen strolling his private beach dressed like a buccaneer, complete with breeches, sash, and saber (he believed he was the reincarnation of Blackbeard). On moonlit nights, Dickerman neighbor and protégé, Rudy Vallée, glided up the lake with a boatful of movie stars as the languid strains of Glenn Miller's "Moonlight Serenade" drifted over the water.
Over time, the lake changed physically from the one Arthur Stone discovered on that graduation camping trip. The shallow southern appendage, now called Lower Bay, was a cranberry bog until the late 1920s, when Biddeford's Pepperell Manufacturing Company built a controversial dam at Kezar's southern outlet in order to control water flowing into the Saco River. Not only did the project transform the bog and create new shorefront properties — it's the most densely developed section of the lake — it also raised the water level throughout the lake a dramatic 3 feet, submerging the rocky shoreline and destroying many boathouses. Meanwhile, farmland was slowly sold off to cottagers. Over time, forests overtook fields, wrapping Kezar in a dense green cloak.

On some steamy summer evenings, Peter and Cary Fleming gather their family in their pontoon boat and motor to Pleasant Point, where they join other boaters sipping cocktails and listening to Broadway show tunes flowing from Quisisana's music hall as the sun slips behind the White Mountains. Part of the Kezar mystique since 1917, Quisisana recruits its 70-odd waiters, waitresses, and other service staff from the country's best music schools, and they perform after dinner for inn guests — and the boaters in the free seats out on the lake. When they return to their cottage at Severance Lodge Club, the Flemings will sit on the porch and enjoy the cool air that comes with nightfall and listen to music of a different sort — the haunting calls of loons.
The Flemings, who split their year between Maine and South Carolina, were among the first families to buy one of Severance's small cabins after the resort was transformed into an exclusive vacation-home community about 20 years ago. Like most of their neighbors, they've significantly expanded their dwelling upward and outward, while retaining its simple pine finishes inside and out. All of the 37 homes here, in fact, share the same rustic style: chocolate-colored siding and forest-green bargeboard trim decorated chalet-style with cutouts of pine trees and canoes. Severance looks like the campus of an exceptionally well-maintained summer camp, which it sort of is: Homeowners share the beach and dining hall (dress code: "smart casual attire"), and partake in organized activities like tennis and shuffleboard tournaments. On the Fourth of July, the neighborhood kids parade to the point where Lillian Severance once serenaded her guests. There, the flag is raised and everyone sings "God Bless America" before regrouping for a day of swimming, waterskiing, cookouts, and fireworks. "We like the spirit of community here," Cary says.
The sporting-camp-turned-residential club is a distinctly Kezar phenomenon, and it has helped shape the culture of the lake. Just up the road from Severance are two comparably styled communities — Westways, the 1920s Diamond Match Company retreat, and Boulder Brook, built in 1900 as Lyons Camps. Residents of each insist their community is the best, but to an outsider, the similarities are striking. Like Severance, Westways and Boulder Brook have individually owned homes and community facilities, such as beaches and docks. All have membership fees (Severance is by far the priciest, with monthly fees averaging $900). And all have strict rules for uniform cabin-style architecture, an unfussy aesthetic that dominates up and down the lake, even where there are no rules. Nothing manmade competes with the beauty of Kezar.
Peer pressure has been the primary tool for keeping fellow property owners in line. "Kezar has historically been the playground of the wealthy, and one of the reasons it's been so well preserved is that the wealthy didn't want it looking like Weirs Beach or Sebago or Naples," says David Wood, who bought his place at Westways after it transitioned to vacation homes in the early 1970s.
Or he might be the guy playing shortstop at the Thursday night softball game at Westways, a nearly 50-year-old tradition. Locals open the season just after ice out in April or May, and they keep it going until just before the Fryeburg Fair in October. In between, summer people swell the ranks, so the teams change week to week. There are no underdogs to cheer, no champions to crown. There's just the simple pleasure of playing ball as the stars come out in paradise.
I must say, I have enjoyed Kezar Lake for many summers. Be it getting ice cream at the Marina, swimming in the rain, or simply sitting out on the dock to enjoy the view, I have always been happy to be there.

Music has this ability to translate, to cross over barriers.
Izzie Walsh enjoyed a wonderful 2018, releasing new material, playing some superb shows, and winning fans wherever she lands.
Which in this case is quite a long way from home. Invited to perform at a showcase event in Canada, she decided to use this to her full advantage.
Taking her full band out to Toronto, they hit the streets to perform material from debut EP 'The Curse'.
EP highlight 'Sidelined' went down a storm, so they shot a quick live video on Kensington Markets, a historic area of the Canadian city.
The performance is beautifully fresh and carefree, the sound of musicians having the time of their lives many miles from home.

On Broadway, A 'Mormon' Swipe At ... Everything The guys behind South Park teamed with a co-creator of the smutty puppet musical Avenue Q to write a musical about Mormon missionaries in Uganda. Will theater ever be quite the same?

< On Broadway, A 'Mormon' Swipe At ... Everything

ROBERT SIEGEL, host:
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints has worked hard to get the Book of Mormon to all corners of the globe. But tonight, the book goes to a place it has never been before, at least not like this.
It's the Broadway premiere of the new musical, "The Book of Mormon." The show was not written or endorsed by the church. It is a searing comedy from the team behind "South Park."
NPR's Robert Smith reports that the production is probably the most offensive, yet sweetest, show on Broadway.
ROBERT SMITH: As any "South Park" fan can tell you, Trey Parker and Matt Stone have an obsession with Mormons.
Mr. TREY PARKER (Co-Creator, "South Park"): Mormonism has sort of just been the little thing that's fascinated us the most.
(Soundbite of "South Park")
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: Hi, Hi, welcome to heaven, brother. You followed the Mormon faith, and so you've been let in. We've got cookies and punch, and we're just about to start playing charades.
Mr. PARKER: Since it is an example of a religion that we have that's American and that's young, and that we can kind of look at and say, why did this catch on, you know.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN #2: There goes that kooky Joseph Smith.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN #3: You know he claims he spoke with God and Jesus.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: Well, how do you know he didn't?
SMITH: On "South Park" and in their movies, the Mormon bit characters always come off as super nice and a little gullible. And as Parker and Stone were trying to create a Broadway musical, they realized that the stage was the perfect place to give their Mormon characters a star turn.
Mr. PARKER: Mormons give you such an excuse to be cheesy and Rogers and Hammerstein again, you know, because you can have Mormons dancing around and doing things and being super optimistic, and people don't just go, well, that's not real. Because it's like, yeah, it's real. We're talking about Mormons.
(Soundbite of laughter)
SMITH: Perhaps you could tell by the laughter that Parker and Stone are not Mormon. Neither is their collaborator, Bobby Lopez. When people found out that three of the wickedest, funniest minds in the business were working an adaptation of the Book of Mormon, there was definitely a sense of foreboding. Were they really going to take a sacred text and mock it on stage for a hundred dollars a ticket?
Mr. PARKER: We don't hate Mormons. So we weren't ever going to set out to make this two-hour-long Mormon-bashing. We really set out to create a traditional musical in a lot of ways.
SMITH: "The Book of Mormon" on Broadway is a classic odd-couple/fish-out-of-water story. Two Utah missionaries are sent to a remote village in Uganda. One is the perfect Mormon, convinced that with charm and faith he can convert a whole continent. The other missionary is a screw-up who hasn't even made it all the way through the Scriptures.
Now, this is normally the point in the NPR story where I would play you a little bit of music from "The Book of Mormon," but that's not gonna happen. The producers of the musical have taken the unusual step of not releasing any sound from the show. They think that the jokes would be too vulgar out of context.
But I kind of want to give you the flavor of the show. You know how in "The Lion King" there is that big jungle number?
(Soundbite of song, "Hakuna Matata")
UNKNOWN MAN and WOMAN: (singing) Hakuna Matata.
SMITH: In "The Book of Mormon" musical, there's a similar song. It's called "Hassa Deega Eebow Wai."
The missionaries dance along with the Ugandans until they discover what the words mean. The villagers are actually telling God what he can go do to himself in graphic terms.
We've had no rain in several days. Hassa Deega Eebow Wai. 80 percent of us have AIDS. Hassa Deega Eebow Wai.
Yeah. Maybe the producers were right. There's so much in this musical to be offended by. There are jokes about cancer, domestic violence, child abuse. There is a running gag about female circumcision. There's a big dance number set in hell with Jeffrey Dahmer, Johnnie Cochran and two forbidden cups of Starbucks coffee.
And yet - and yet, there is this innocent Mormon streak that runs through the whole musical. Do you remember how in "The Little Mermaid," Ariel dreams of going up onto land?
(Soundbite of "The Little Mermaid")
ARIEL: (singing) I wish I could be part of that world.
SMITH: In "The Book of Mormon" there's a similar song with a young Ugandan girl, only she dreams of her own version of Utopia - Salt Lake City. She sings, I bet the people are open-minded, accepting and free of sin, and all I hope is that when I find it, I'm able to fit in.
And the audience just melts.
In the end, the least offensive part of this musical might just be the way they treat the Mormon faith. I even brought a member of the LDS church to a preview just to make sure I wasn't imagining it.
Ms. ELNA BAKER (Writer and Comedian): Hi. My name is Elna Baker, the token Mormon.
SMITH: She's also a writer and a comedian living in New York City. Baker laughed along through the entire show, especially at the insider jokes about Mormon doctrine.
Ms. BAKER: Like it was a checklist of all these things that are very particular to Mormon beliefs, and they nailed every single one of them.
SMITH: They skewer the story of Joseph Smith digging up the golden plates. They take a couple of potshots at the Mormon doctrine that kept blacks out of the priesthood until 1978.
Ms. BAKER: There's a line where they say, I believe that God lives on a planet called Kolob. That is an actual Mormon belief. We do believe that, but taken out of context, or even in context, you do not want anyone to know that you actually believe it.
SMITH: But here's where the sweetness comes in. The Mormons in the musical embrace every quirk of their faith. It makes them stronger and, in the end, the audience who laughed at them, is actually won over.
Ms. BAKER: I think it teaches you about how if the whole world is sort of against you or against your ideas, what it requires of you to still believe those things.
SMITH: Now, Elna Baker wants to make this clear. Many Mormons, including her mom, would never make it to the end of this musical. They'd walk out after the first few F words. And the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is not protesting the show. They released a simple statement. "The production may attempt to entertain audiences for an evening," it says. "But the Book of Mormon, as a volume of scripture will change peoples' lives forever by bringing them closer to Christ."
Matt Stone and Trey Parker thought that was just brilliant.
Mr. MATT STONE (Co-Creator, "South Park"): Every time we do something on Mormons, their response makes us like them more.
SMITH: Robert Smith, NPR News, New York.

She's Here! Welcome Baby Bird #2!!
Our new baby bird is here! We couldn't be happier to have our little family of three grow to a sweet family of four!
We left the hospital the next morning as it was a little crowded. But not before my sister brought Little Bird over to see her baby sister for the first time.
And to think, less than a week before, I was just doing my regular routine, including the Bar Method.
Now we are settling into our life at home. Little Bird helped Papa shell some Anasazi Beans from the garden while Baby and I supervised from the patio. My mom is here, spoiling us with cooking and doing the dishes and my other sister will fly in tonight.
Baby Bird #2 was born at 39 weeks and 6 days, on Wednesday, October 2nd at 6:59pm. She was 6 pounds, 14 ounces and 19 inches long. Perfectly healthy, nursing well and we are all in love!
Congratulations, she is absolutely precious.
YAY! Congratulations!!!!! So very happy for you and your family. Get some rest and enjoy these precious moments!!!


BARRON, Wis. — A Wisconsin man pleaded guilty Wednesday to kidnapping 13-year-old Jayme Closs and killing her parents, in a move that spares the girl held captive in a remote cabin for three months from the possible trauma of having to testify at his trial.
According to a criminal complaint, Patterson told authorities he decided Jayme "was the girl he was going to take" after he saw her getting on a school bus near her home. He told investigators he plotted carefully, including wearing all-black clothing, putting stolen license plates on his car and taking care to leave no fingerprints on his shotgun.
Prosecutors in Douglas County, where Jayme was held, announced soon after Patterson's arrest that they did not plan to bring charges in that county — a move seen as potentially sparing her from having details of her treatment becoming public. Patterson's plea Wednesday increases the chances that those details will remain private.
Jayme's parents worked at the same turkey plant, but there's nothing to indicate they knew Patterson. In the criminal complaint, Patterson told investigators he spotted Jayme while heading to work at a cheese factory where he quit after two days.

Stonefort is a village in Saline and Williamson counties, Illinois, United States. The population was 297 at the 2010 census.
Stonefort is named for an ancient rock fortification that stood in the vicinity when the first settlers started arriving in the area in the early 1800s. The village of Stonefort was established in the late 1850s, and was originally located about a mile to the southeast, near the edge of the bluff. When the Cairo and Vincennes Railroad (later part of the Big Four and New York Central systems) was completed through the area in the 1870s, Stonefort's public buildings were dismantled and moved to the village's present location, which was adjacent to the railroad tracks. The former site of the village is now listed as "Oldtown" on maps.[3]
Geography[edit]
Stonefort is located at 37°37′0″N 88°42′26″W / 37.61667°N 88.70722°W / 37.61667; -88.70722 (37.616615, -88.707143).[4] The village is situated atop a ridge that rises above the South Fork Saline River valley to the north and the Little Saline River valley to the south.

The Politics of Small Things
November 9, 2013 January 6, 2015 Katherine Alejandra Cross4 Comments
This delectable (one might even say 'sweet') work of satire is the doing of Heina Dadabhoy (@futilityfiles)
There is a familiar cadence to the bursts of Twitter mobbing that have become the defining spasms of cyber-politics these days.
Someone in a position of privilege says something mildly foolish, they are called out on it, and then the privileged individual's response rises to the level of something genuinely concerning and worth talking about.
It is as if some activists excel at chipping away at the wafer-thin façade of public personas to reveal the monsters beneath. While I sometimes find the methods dubious, the unmasking is often as not a public service. We should be made aware of the latent prejudices or hidden failings of many in our commentariat and we're the better for it.
So what did we learn from the now hilariously infamous Honeygate, the latest Richard Dawkins micro-scandal to rock social media and set virtual tongues awag? Someone close to me described the reaction to the initial Dawkins honey tweet as "tilting at windmills," and I admit I'm actually inclined to agree with them. It is hardly the worst thing Richard Dawkins has ever said, and had the words been uttered by anyone else they would hardly have occasioned such an outcry. Had my father said it, I might have even agreed with him (while of course privately snickering about honey-based whinging). But what made Dawkins' tweet so irritating to those of us who've had to field his barrage of pop-sociological ignorance for so long has been drawn into stark relief by his response to the, in his words, "puerile display of sniggering frivolity" that occurred on social media. As ever, the response of a man like Dawkins to public criticism is considerably more revealing than the initial "offence" that occasioned the criticism.
The title of his piece says it all: "My Honey Trap: Why Doesn't Anyone Believe in Public-Spirited Concern?"
And it is, at last, here that the hypocrisies of Dawkins' belief system become gobsmackingly offensive. It is not because anything he says in the article is strictly wrong, it's that it reveals Richard Dawkins to be a man whose "public concern" is limited to the petty, stopping well short of things that actually matter. His myopia blinkers him to the myriad ways in which he takes a sledgehammer to civil society and the dignity of its citizens.
On Missing the Forest for the Trees
The example with which he opens the article—his ill fated attempt to get a financial institution to make a minor convenience change to its website—seems representative of those things that animate Richard Dawkins-as-citizen. For him, public service means gently easing the lives of the comfortable in small ways. Occasionally, this will rise to the level of more noteworthy, practical significance, such as his lament for the family whose child was forced by airport security to go without necessary eczema cream. Strictly speaking, these are fine things to be concerned about; I too would like certain frequently-used websites to be updated with certain convenient modifications, and I too applaud those who send kind and informative feedback to institutions to make that happen.
But Dawkins seems to ennoble this with elegant laurels that are woefully oversized considering the trivial situations he lists, and smug condescension lies murmuring just beneath it all. Consider how he economically describes the exchange between himself and that customer service representative:
She thought I wanted satisfaction for myself in particular. It appeared to be outside her comprehension that somebody might take the time to make a public-spirited suggestion to help other people.
"Well, I've been on your website trying to get a bank statement, and I'd filled in the whole form before I was told that the system was down anyway. Could I suggest … "
"My apologies for that, Richard, let me help you now. What exactly is it you require?"
"Er, no, I don't think you understand. I've already got what I personally needed. I want to report the difficulty I had, so that you can make sure other people don't suffer the same inconvenience in future."
"Richard, please tell me what is the date of the bank statement you need, and I'll have it sent to you."
"No, I already have the bank statement I need. I'm trying to help other people in my situation … "
I might have been speaking Volapük. She simply didn't understand a word of Voluntary-Public-Spirit.
I suspect that the problem here has less to do with her and more with the narrow suite of options for helping customers that she was given by her company. It isn't that she cannot comprehend the idea of helping others or that she is an insensible spectre to the light of public spirit, it's simply that her company likely does not allow her to accept that kind of feedback and perhaps she was not used to hearing it via that particular channel. Dawkins isn't wrong to wonder at why things are structured this way—but if he were to truly get to the bottom of it he might be forced to confront the idea that the entire private sector is built on an individualist myth that rewards self-interest and selfishness, an ideology mirrored in its vision of customer service, and epitomised by the classic slogans "the customer is always right" and "the consumer is king." I suspect that confronting those challenging notions would be a lot less comfortable for Professor Dawkins than upbraiding a poor customer service rep in the pages of The Guardian for being resistant to his civic-mindedness.
This is, in many ways, Dawkins' biggest problem: he addresses social problems in painfully narrow fashion and is utterly blind to social structure. He would rather blame faulty individuals (or even a mass of them) than think about truly social questions—and yes, society is more than merely a collection of individual foibles.
To put an even finer point on it, it is why Dawkins is able to write an article like this without a scintilla of irony or self-awareness, after many years of ranting at the barricades of public discourse in an especially racist, sexist register, and doing far more violence to our polity than a thousand confiscated honey jars or scores of broken bank websites. By being deliberately inflammatory and disingenuous about ethnic minorities in Britain—such as blatantly race baiting through his odious tweet mocking Muslims for not having more Nobel prizes to their name—he is rusting the radiant copper statues of civic virtue and corroding our discourse. He cheapens debate by fully adopting Twitter's pithy idiom in his pop-sociologising about religion and its adherents, breathelessly pearl-clutching at "puerile" social media one moment, and dismissing a population of billions as idiots the next.
A Matter of "Principle"
Throughout this tempest in a honeypot Dawkins asseverated that the material loss of his honey was not at issue, it was the principle of the matter; security theatre and its pointless quotidian humiliations, he seemed to say, was what he was really complaining about. In this way "Bin Laden won," by ensuring the death of civic trust and freedom through the thousand cuts of doffed shoes, belts, and zipped plastic bags of not more than a quart in capacity.
Principle is beautiful. It is the marble colonnade of democracy, the elegant flourish of calligraphy on parchment that spells out our rights and duties as citizens. But principle must animate something, some substance, some material reality in order to be worth the parchment upon which it was so lovingly written.
Dawkins must complain about principle here because indeed that is all that is at stake for him. For a woman thought to be Muslim, by contrast, who must endure sexual humiliation every time she passes through an airport checkpoint, the distinction dissolves painfully into the irrelevance of immediate bodily harm. It is indistinct for her precisely because the principle is the harm that was caused to her, it is the loss of her dignity, it is the human right absconded with by that selfsame security theatre. And her condition is one that is constructed and buttressed by the words of men like Dawkins who conveniently forget their pretensions to civic-mindedness when opining in grand forums about the supposed backwardness and inherent threat posed by people who are perceived to be of the Muslim faith.
When Dawkins appropriates that Muslim woman's putative life experience and perverts it into a simulacrum that enables him to tut-tut activist and thinker Rebecca Watson who complained, rather politely, that it was unwise and unkind for male strangers to proposition women in a hotel lift at 3AM, he forgot the language of "Voluntary Public Spirit." Indeed, one wonders if Watson was speaking Volapük.
By mocking women, including atheist and sceptic women who are part of Dawkins' own political stratum, simply because they try to convey the unique social realities of an experience Mr. Dawkins himself does not, and cannot share, he lets loose a rather generous, malodorous pile of leavings upon the very idea of civic spirit. A glitchy bank website isn't worth an atom of a fig when compared to the fact that we, Dawkins' female fellow citizens, have a profoundly different relationship to the world of night, to dark alleys, lonely streets, and 3AM lifts. Yet which does he ennoble with the flowering garlands of "public spiritedness"? That says something in and of itself.
Where was he, one wonders, when his fellow "Horseman" Sam Harris called for Muslims to be "racially profiled"? If ever there was an hour for our civic minded superman to duck into a phone box and emerge to reveal his colourful, democratic tunic, it was surely then.
Or perhaps he could have found that beautiful language of civic virtue when that same woman he attacked reminded us of why those very institutions Dawkins takes for granted fail her, and why her free speech remains a right she has to fight for on a daily basis, often athwart hordes of Dawkins' own fans emboldened by the imprimatur he lent to their hatred by dismissing Watson so sneeringly. He might wonder at the civic mindedness of the men who send her things that are far worse than "puerile sniggering" as well.
Yet it is, in the final analysis, the fact that honey is ineluctably a liquid that sees Dawkins gesturing to those great marble columns and that calligraphy on parchment, and that is worth getting one's back up.
We all have a lot to learn about citizenship and building a more perfect union of sovereignly equal peoples and individuals; we will not learn it from a man who uses mighty rhetoric to cover up his perennial failure to accept any responsibility for the things he says. There is, Mr. Dawkins, such a thing as duty—and I would much rather you used it to combat institutional prejudice that makes me fear for my life and bodily integrity than to help make my bank website run a little more smoothly.

'Please Look After Mom': A family's loss, a mother's secrets
Originally published April 7, 2011 at 7:00 pm Updated April 7, 2011 at 9:01 pm
Korean novelist Kyung-shook Shin's novel "Please Look After Mom" is the haunting story of a family's discovery of the mother they thought they knew after she vanishes from a crowded train platform in Korea's Seoul Station. The author reads at 7 p.m. Monday at Seattle's Elliott Bay Book Co.
karen Gaudette
We may know her favorite color, or flower, or meal. But how well do sons and daughters, even when grown, really understand what motivates their mothers?
"Please Look After Mom" (Knopf, 237 pp., $24.95) is a suspenseful, haunting, achingly lovely novel about the hidden lives, wishes, struggles and dreams of those we think we know best. It's told from the perspectives of the elder son, elder daughter and the husband of Park So-nyo, an elderly farm wife who vanishes on a crowded train platform in Korea's Seoul Station while en route to visit family.
When we hear from So-nyo herself later in the book, it's startling when she comes suddenly into focus. We learn she has a sense of humor. We learn who she loves and how she loves. We learn that everyone has a saga within them.
Korean best-selling author Kyung-sook Shin's deft and frequent use of second person lends this story an instant intimacy. The novel, translated from the Korean by Chi-young Kim, opens one week after So-nyo's disappearance and in the anguished voice of her elder daughter, whose mind races to string together bits and snatches of memory into clues to find Mom.

The real-life family lie that inspired director Lulu Wang's 'The Farewell,' starring Awkwafina
"Either a mother and daughter know each other very well, or they are strangers. Until last fall, you thought you knew your mom well — what Mom liked, what you had to do to appease her when she was angry, what she wanted to hear … But last fall, your belief that you knew her was shattered. You went for a visit without announcing it beforehand, and you discovered that you had become a guest."
There are few ways to describe this story that don't involve the word "devastating." Seemingly small details explode into larger meaning at a pace that takes one's breath away. The depth of each character's guilt and regret over Mom's absence — and what they wish they'd said and done differently — is palpable.
The story deftly juxtaposes images of modern Korea with wartime Korea, of city living with country life, of ultra-processed ramen with the crumbly dust of freshly dug potatoes, of Mom lugging heavy jars of homemade pickles and elixirs on the train ride from her country house to nourish her children in the big city. As the family grapples with its newfound understanding of the woman they thought they knew, we're given a window onto the culture and customs of Korea, its food, festivals, traditions and family dynamics.
This book is not for those who crave easy resolution; just like family, it prompts worry, and consternation, and guilt, and heartbreak, and tears — sometimes even despair. Shin's style of writing makes it simple for readers to transpose their own families into such a crushing scenario, and the onslaught of emotion that the narrative evokes is strangely cathartic. But, just like family, this novel also delivers ultimate gifts: moments of gorgeous lucidity, love that knows no depth, beauty in the details of many long-held memories, like this one from Mom about her eldest son:
"When I first put shoes on you, I was really excited. When you toddled over to me, I laughed so much; even if someone had spilled out a heap of gold and silver jewels in front of me, I wouldn't have laughed like that. And how do you think I felt when I sent you to school? When I pinned your name tag and a handkerchief to your chest, I felt so grown up. How can I compare the happiness I got watching your legs get thicker with anything else? Every day, I sang, Grow and grow, my baby. And then, one day, you were bigger than me."

Q: Get specific value from an array an put it in index.erb Ruby I have this array:
session[:current_user] = { :nickname => auth.info['nickname'],
                                      :image => auth.info['image'],
                                      :uid => auth.uid }

The auth.info['nickname'] stuff comes from a user input that I get from Omniauth Steam. I was wondering how I can put this into my index.erb.
I currently have
<%= session[:current_user][:nickname] %>
 but this is not working. If I use
<%= session[:current_user]%>
 it will display the entire array. How can I just display the :nickname information?
Output with just session[:current_user]:
{"nickname"=>"Corybantic Walrus", "image"=>"https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/avatars/d4/d45a66fee7932d270ec32d4457d865b485245cf1_medium.jpg", "uid"=>"76561198128055024"}

A: You have output
{
  "nickname"=>"Corybantic Walrus",
  "image"=>"https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/avatars/d4/d45a66fee7932d270ec32d4457d865b485245cf1_medium.jpg",
  "uid"=>"76561198128055024"
}

so in hash you have keys like String not  Symbol
you must call it like this:
session[:current_user]["nickname"]
# or
session[:current_user]['nickname']

Die Lord Strange's Men waren eine Theatertruppe des Elisabethanischen Zeitalters, bestehend aus Gefolgsleuten Ferdinando Stanleys, welcher den Titel Baron Strange innehatte (gesprochen: strang). Bekannter wurden sie erst am Ende ihrer Karriere zu Ende der 1580er und zu Beginn der 1590er Jahre. Als Stanley am 25. September 1593 den Titel seines Vaters erbte, benannte sich die Truppe um in Earl of Derby's Men.

Geschichte

Anfänge
Ensembles unter diesem Namen gab es schon in den 1560er und 1570er Jahren. Auch der Vater Ferdinandos, Henry Stanley, 4. Earl of Derby, beschäftigte bereits eigene Schauspieler vor und nach 1582, dem Jahr des Erhalts seines Adelstitels. Eine weitere Ensemblezusammenstellung war in den 1580er Jahren (1580/81, 1583, 1585/86) am königlichen Hof aktiv. Wobei das wörtlich zu nehmen ist: Sie waren eine Truppe von Akrobaten unter der Leitung von John Symons, genannt "der Tumbler". 1588 wurde die Truppe neu aufgestellt: Symons und die anderen Akrobaten verließen das Ensemble, um zu den Queen Elizabeth's Men, einer konkurrierenden Truppe, zu wechseln. Die Lord Strange's wandelten sich nun zu einer Schauspielkompanie; William Kempe, Thomas Pope und George Bryan, die späteren Mitglieder der berühmten Lord Chamberlain's Men, der Truppe um William Shakespeare, könnten dazu gehört haben.

Im November 1589 gerieten sie als sogenannte Anti-Martinisten in den Sog der Marprelate Kontroverse und der Lord Mayor of London verbot der Truppe weitere Theateraufführungen innerhalb der Stadt abzuhalten. Sich dem Verbot widersetzend traten sie sogleich am 5. November im Cross(e) Keys Inn auf, einem Londoner Gasthof in der Gracechurch Street (diese, heute abgegangene, Herberge befand sich gegenüber dem Haupteingang des Leadenhall Market). Es ist anzunehmen, dass noch in jener Nacht einige Mitglieder im Gefängnis landeten. Das Cross Keys Inn wurde hernach zu einem der bevorzugten Spielorte der Lord Strange's Men.

Ab 1590
Die Truppe war von 1590 bis 1597 mit den Lord Admiral's Men assoziiert; im Winter 1591 gaben die Strange's Men sechs Aufführungen am Hofe. Sie traten auch im The Theatre auf und womöglich auch am Curtain Theatre. Eines ihrer Stücke ist zusammen mit der Besetzungsliste erhalten geblieben: In The Seven Deadly Sins spielten Richard Burbage, William Sly, Richard Cowley und Augustine Phillips mit.

Zwischen Februar und Juni 1592 arbeiteten sie am Philip Henslowes Rose Theatre, wo sie ein Repertoire von 23 Theaterstücken gaben, darunter eines oder mehrere Teile der shakespearschen Trilogie Heinrich VI. (Drama). Es wurde erstmals am 3. März 1592 aufgeführt und war ein großer Kassenerfolg. Es wurde danach noch 13 mal aufgeführt. Ein weiteres Stück war A Knack to Know a Knave, erstmals am 10. Juni 1592 zur Aufführung gebracht. Der Autor ist unbekannt, möglicherweise stammt es aus der Feder von Robert Greene, George Peele oder Thomas Nashe. Seit einiger Zeit wird auch Shakespeare als Autor ins Spiel gebracht.

Die Strange's Men gaben im Winter 1592/93 noch drei Vorstellungen am Hofe, als am 28. Januar 1593 in London die Beulenpest ausbrach. Die Seuche brachte nahezu den gesamten Theaterbetrieb in der Hauptstadt zum Erliegen.

Ein Ensemble, das sich aus Mitgliedern der Strange's und Admiral's zusammensetzte, angeführt von Edward Alleyn, tourte in den Jahren 1593/94 überland, wobei sie Station in Kent, Southampton, Bath, Bristol, Shrewsbury und möglicherweise auch in York und Chester machten. Auch in Leicester und Coventry traten sie auf.

Als die Truppe im April 1594 in East Anglia und Hampshire unterwegs war, ereilte sie die Nachricht des Todes ihres Patrons, Ferdinando Stanley. Sie kehrten einen Monat später nach London zurück, zudem auch die Pesterkrankungen dort zurückgingen. Die Kompanie erfuhr eine radikale Neuorganisation: viele Mitglieder verließen die Truppe und formten eine neue Vereinigung unter der Patronage von Lord Hunsdon, der in England die Funktion des Lord Chamberlains innehatte. Unter dem Namen Lord Chamberlain's Men sollte die Truppe mit ihren namhaften Mitgliedern William Shakespeares und Richard Burbage kurze Zeit später in die Kulturgeschichte eingehen.

Derby's Men
Der verbliebene Teil des vormaligen Ensembles arbeitete unter dem Namen Derby's Men weiter, welchen sie bereits seit dem Vorjahr trugen. Hier war der Schirmherr William Stanley, 6. Earl of Derby. Die Derby's Men konzentrieren ihre Tätigkeit auf Tourneen durch die Provinzen außerhalb Londons. Dies taten sie bis zu ihrer Auflösung 1618; Allerdings gaben sie auch, unter Leitung des Schauspielers Robert Browne, Darbietungen in London; darunter vier Auftritte am Hof in den Jahren 1600 und 1601.

Putting people in their place
Posted May 17, 2011 to Culture by: jacy meyer.
Czech Position
The Street for Art festival aims to bring some public debate — if not the public itself — back to the capital's underused public spaces
Prague has a number of squares and pocket parks — although they are not used as much as similar spaces in Spain and Italy. If the organizers of the fourth annual Street for Art Festival have their way, people will see more interactive space in Prague.
"This year, the festival is about public space while last year focused more on art in public space," David Kašpar, the festival's program coordinator, told Czech Position. "The main message is to create a model situation of the ideal public space, fill it with useful and nice objects and a design that serves people."
Street for Art is coordinated by KC Zahrada, a cultural center in Prague's Jižní Mesto (South City) housing project, and is held near the Opatov metro station on the C line. Kašpar said the festival started when the center was looking for more space for programs. Center members realized there was lots of unused space in their own neighborhoods.
"The first year was really about art in public space – street party, skateboarding, graffiti," he said. "Then we realized there are more things, a community dimension, not only passively showing [art], but interaction."
In 2009, Street for Art built a giant inflatable bubble six meters high and 20 meters long. Designed by the German art and architecture firm Raumlabor, the other-worldly space invited people from the neighborhood to come out and meet each other. The following years saw the programming grow, but each festival is anchored with a unique building concept, designed and built solely for the festival. This cross between art and architecture is designed to get people talking and serve as a meeting point.
"We started to organize workshops, dinner for the neighbors in a public space, projections on the houses," Kasper said. "Last year, we built a contemporary art center practically in the middle of nowhere."
In 2010 the festival focused on the interconnection of contemporary art and life outside the city center. A temporary three-story art center called Blox consisted of 18 construction containers housing a exhibition space, a studio, café and information center with a music stage. An exhibition of contemporary Czech art was displayed throughout the festival.
This year, though, the focus is more on people. "We know public space should be made for people and serve them and their needs," said Mr. Kašpar. "Everyone uses public space and has different needs — you walk through it, sit for a break, people watch, these are needs we want to observe, to create an ideal zone for life in public space. What is the ideal use?"
The program kicks off with a special PechaKucha Night dedicated to public art and outdoor space. The festival center (30 meters long by 7 meters tall and wide) will be constructed overnight from scaffolding and hold an information center, host discussions and performances, as well as serve as a covered public space. Most days have a theme; May 24 the topic is art, and events include a workshop where participants can help design art for public space. The film "Exit Through the Gift Shop" about British street artist Banksy will also be shown.
Jirí Sulženko, director of KC Zahrada, is looking forward to attendees' responses. "I'm really curious as to how people will participate," he said. "We have five public workshops, and I am wondering if we will manage to attract them." Last year, about 4,500 people attended Street for Art, whose funding of Kč 1.2 million is mainly via grants from Prague 11 and the Culture Ministry.
One highlight mentioned by Sulženko will be Urban Human, an acrobatic theater performance piece premiering May 26 based on Jan Gehl's book "Life Between Buildings." Design firm Raumlabor will participate in a discussion in English that day on public space and the people.
An international conference on May 28 organized by Raumlabor called Some Ideas for Better Cities will highlight cities in transformation and new possibilities in urban development.
"Raumlabor is a Berlin-based architecture studio; they aren't building houses but are interested in the public space between buildings," conference coordinator Katerina Vídenová said. "There will be guests from abroad and the Czech Republic, experts in urban planning, presentations but the main focus is on discussion."
Vídenová added people will be situated at food-filled tables to encourage small group communication. Organizers hope for a broad discussion on creative urban development, introducing new practices and discussing how a city can successfully evolve.
"We want to open a discussion that brings something that will remain in the minds of the people, introduce a brand new topic to Czech architecture; it's very interesting to think about what is inbetween buildings," Sulženko said. "It is strange to say you are an architect but don't design buildings, but architects think about space, function and the people who will use it."
"The debate about public space in Prague is rising and what the festival is doing is an add-on, offering concrete examples for simple ways to enhance public space" Sulženko said. "We want to show that it is there to be used by people, and that our ideas and tools will help them understand how to use public space."

Chris Stapleton Reaches Milestone Accomplishment With First No. 1 Single
by Jim Casey | @TheJimCasey | March 19, 2018
After scoring multiple Grammy Awards, CMA Awards, ACM Awards and No. 1 albums over the past three years, Chris Stapleton can add a new feather to his cap: his first No. 1 single.
Chris' "Broken Halos" ascended to the top spot on both the Mediabase and Billboard Country Airplay charts this week. The tune, which Chris penned with Mike Henderson, is the second single from Chris' 2017 album, From A Room: Vol. 1.
Over the course of his solo career, Chris has released six singles. Not only is "Broken Halos" Chris' first No. 1, it is also his first Top 10.
"There are a lot of great singers and a lot of great songwriters in the world, but we just happen to have all the right stars line up at the right time," said Chris to NCD. "And all of a sudden we're in front of a lot of people and there will be a day when that's not the case, but, you know, right now, it is, and [we] try to handle it with as much, you know, grace and dignity as we can in a world that seems to have less and less."

The news of actor and comedian Robin Williams' death has shocked fans all over the world. According to a report in the New York Times, the 63-year-old star apparently killed himself.
Williams died in his home in Marin County, Calif., earlier today, after police responded to a call at the actor's home. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
As news of his death spread, many rockers took to Twitter to share their thoughts on Williams. From Ozzy Osbourne to Peter Frampton to Flea, Williams' manic energy and screen presence seemed to affect all walks of life.


On its second release, Sevenglory strikes out in several sonic directions as it keeps its lyric focus clearly on the Word. Atmosphere (2007) comes across as a confident, smartly-executed project with a sincere underpinning of reality-tested belief. Lead singer/guitarist Fred Buston has a boisterous sense of style and enjoys livening up his delivery with well-targeted falsetto forays. In tracks like "Let It Be Love" (a put-down of contemporary coolness) and "Just Me" (a twitchy-yet-tuneful confession of human imperfection) he combines a youthful vulnerability with a mature grasp of the spiritual. His yearning edge as a singer comes through most fervently on "All of This for You." As an ensemble, Sevenglory can deliver punchy power-pop as it chooses, riding a slamming drumline on "All You Want" and waltzing to jangly guitars on "Even the Blues." It delves into stately, feedback-soaked rock on the title track and delivers a straight-ahead worship song with "The Hope." If Atmosphere has a weakness, it's the sheer diversity of tracks — at times, this album comes across like a sampler of modern Christian pop/rock. But while the band's musical identity can become blurred here, Atmosphere's message of faith is never clouded.

Disha Patani unhappy with Tiger Shroff stealing all limelight for Baaghi 2?
Tiger Shroff is trending all over ever since the trailer of his upcoming film Baaghi 2 was released online. And honestly, it was all about Tiger and no one else. Not even his rumored girlfriend Disha Patani, as she appeared only in a couple of shots in the trailer.
While the makers are apparently focusing the most on Tiger to promote the film, Disha is said to be not happy with the actor getting all the limelight.
Disha is also reportedly upset with the fact that despite being the leading lady of the film and a trained dancer, she doesn't even have a solo track in the movie.
"Things are is not well between them. During the promotions of the film, Disha and Tiger had a fight. She is apparently unhappy with Tiger getting all the limelight. She is also upset because despite being a trained dancer, she doesn't have a solo track in the movie," a source was quoted as saying by Mid-Day.
Earlier, it was also reported that Disha regularly keeps checking Tiger's phone as she doesn't want her rumored boyfriend to interact with other actresses. She apparently has been bossing over Tiger and controlling him.
"This is Tiger's first relationship and he's crazy about Disha. She, on the other hand, keeps a tab on his moves. She allegedly checks his phone regularly and has also given him a diktat to talk to his female co-stars only when he is on the sets. She has also told him that she doesn't appreciate him liking another actress' pictures on Instagram," a source was quoted as saying by DNA.
The source further added, "He has changed completely. Disha is extremely possessive about him. Her behavior has ticked off most of Tiger's friends."
Baaghi 2 will bring Tiger and Disha together for the first time on the silver screen. Directed by Ahmed Khan, the movie is all set to hit the theatres March 30, 2018.

The Yellow Wallpaper Chapter 2
Book: The Yellow Wallpaper
Topics: Criticism, Dramatic Irony, Irony, Narrator, Women
The yellow wallpaper – Charlotte Perkins Gilman In "The Yellow Wallpaper," Gilman critiques the position of women within the institution of marriage. She uses a number of literary devices to express the political theme of feminism and the oppression of women. For Gilman, the conventional nineteenth-century marriage, with its rigid distinction between the "domestic" functions of the female and the "active" work of the male, ensured that women remained second-class citizens.The story reveals that this gender division had the effect of keeping women in a childish state of ignorance and preventing their full development. John's assumption of his own superior wisdom and maturity leads him to misjudge, patronize, and dominate his wife, all in the name of "helping" her.
The narrator is reduced to acting like a petulant child, unable to stand up for herself without seeming unreasonable or disloyal. The mental constraints placed upon the narrator, even more so than the physical ones, are what ultimately drive her insane.She is forced to hide her anxieties and fears in order to preserve their "happy marriage". The narrator is clearly feeling trapped in a marriage that does not allow her freedom. Meanwhile, as a man, her husband is free to come and go. This inability for her to express herself in a meaningful way eventually leads her to associate herself with the woman in the wallpaper who looks to be, like the narrator, behind bars or in a cage.
So, given the fact that the narrator feels trapped by both her husband and surroundings, it is not farfetched to assume that the woman she sees behind the wallpaper is a symbol of herself and the Victorian women like her. The many heads can be seen as a symbol of all the things the woman wants to do, She wishes she could write and have guests over, but she can't and instead, the woman in the wallpaper has all these "heads" or ideas of what she wants to do.Conversely, these heads could also represent the many male influences who are constantly interfering with her sense of freedom, most notably her husband.
the narrator's unhappiness seems directly linked to the fact that she is being treated like a child and is not allowed to leave her cage. The author uses a lot of verbal and dramatic irony in order to criticize not only the treatment toward Victorian women in marriage, but it was also an attack on Mitchell's resting cure for depression, that the author, herself ad undergone. The whole treatment process was just the same as John's. Women were secluded, isolated, not allowed to do anything, made infantile and treated just as objects of treatment. The patients were considered only as a passive object of treatment. The connection between a woman's subordination in the home and her subordination in a doctor/patient relationship is clear—John is, after all, the narrator's husband and doctor.
After this work, Mitchell took Gilman's criticism to heart and abandoned the "resting cure. "

thread those back to sources of valuable narrative about the user.

These have three principle goals most of the time.
what constitutes success and how you're going to verify that.
energy to the tasks at hand.
And so the next item is we want to create empathy with the end user.
I put them in JIRA or some system or whatever.
And they can read them, and they should get it.
Well, they won't get it.
is new to this means of driving a value through empathy with users.
And we'll talk about ways to do that as we go through here.
And the other goal is to plan executions.
example, output instead of making sure you're driving to valuable outcomes.
And instrumenting the means to test that into your work.
dice things into the type of questions that you're having.
peel off into a design sprint which we'll talk about in course two.
Or, are we okay here?
before we start the next sprint.
into the software that you put out there to users and customers.
observe whether things are valuable or not.
it's really hard to just make my release dates, how am I going to do that?
focused on things that are important, than to produce a lot of quantity.
Now, managing that is tricky.
That's what we're going to spend time on in course three.
thoughtful as they continue to progress and make the software more valuable.
bring this kind of thing forward.
where we just go through and we really look at the heart of the matter.
Why do we think this is important to the user?
Why are we putting a button here?
structure that understanding in the last slide.
And you want to look at, what's our proposition here?
that the user currently has to do this job, gratify this habit.
And then this is a great one.
As we've discussed, what is the reward in this story?
the user in this particular interaction?
a particular situation where you want to do a few things.
you're hoping that people will review the current personas.
wherever you're keeping those things.
secondary users of this product.
Now this is where the interesting part comes in.
ask your team to go read them and make sure they remember them all.
engagement, and we'll look at that in the next video.
they have a bunch of epic stories that they want to go through in detail.
say we have 20 minutes allocated here.
Take 10 minutes, everybody drafts a story board.
what those mean for going through and creating child stories.
helps you think about some things that you're missing.
It's important to put those things on the board and prioritize them.
make some time to go talk to some more users.
Well, what do we want to ask them?
How can we use the perspective of the team to make that more focal and more valuable?
Do you have time to do this?
has always astounded me because anybody can call a meeting with like five people.
And that's probably going to cost the company quite a lot of money.
you can probably call a meeting that costs hundreds of dollars.
that probably costs you like $13 of Company time.
So will it make your meeting 0.03% better?
the company, you should want to go ahead and create these meeting agendas.
Now I say it's going to take ten minutes here.
It may take you less.
Certainly, the first few times you do it, it'll probably take you more time.
being a really great collaborator with them.
Let's look at one more example before we close.
they're going to punch through and create some material to inform their next sprint.
into different problem scenarios depending on which one you think is most important.
and the rest of these things are basically diverge-converge activity.
we converge, so we come up with a bunch of material.
kind of edit it down to what we think is the best answer.
have stories that have all three clauses.
of users are both tightly linked to stories, but they're tested separately.
really integral to the things that you do, that's another good sign.
you'll develop more of a test driven mind set and a culture of experimentation.
You want every story linked to problem scenarios and propositions.
why do we think this is going to be valuable?
at least they've been made explicit.
They've been spoken aloud, they've been put in a Google Doc or up on a board.
you'll have some really specific ideas about what to do next.
you know who your user is.
that narrative collaboration that we're learning is so central to Agile.
to really bring that material forward to the rest of your collaborators.
