Please note. Work by Sophie Gerrard, Sarah Amy Fishlock and Jeremy Sutton Hibbert will be coming off the walls on Friday 9th March. The exhibition will then close at 3pm on Saturday 10th March.
The Whitehouse Gallery opens 2018 with a rather special exhibition featuring some well established photographic artists from the region and beyond. The exhibition will feature documentary and landscape work on the subject of Scotland.
The exhibition preview opening is on Saturday 10 February, doors will open at 11am and all are welcome to attend for drinks and nibbles.
The work is broadly split into the two complimentary disciplines of documentary and landscape. We will see the people of Scotland and the environment that has shaped them.
We are thrilled to be exhibiting work by four members of the Document Scotland Collective; Sophie Gerrard, Sarah Amy Fishlock, Jeremy Sutton-Hibbert and Colin McPherson.
Sophie Gerrard (Scottish, b.1978) is an award winning photographer specialising in contemporary documentary stories with environmental and social themes. Sophie began her career in environmental sciences before studying photography at Edinburgh College of Art followed by an MA in Photojournalism and Documentary Photography at London College of Communication.
Sophie's editorial and long term personal work has been published widely by clients including The Guardian, The Telegraph Magazine, FT Magazine, The independent on Sunday Magazine, Esquire Magazine, Foto8, The British Journal of Photography, Portfolio Magazine, Scotland on Sunday, Lucky Peach, Le Monde and many others.
Born in Glasgow, Sarah Amy Fishlock graduated from the Glasgow School of Art in 2011 with an MA in Visual Communication. Working with photography, found images and publications, her work explores the relationship between the individual and wider social, historical and political realities. Artist in Residence at Glasgow's Citizens Theatre between 2013-14, and since 2013 has been editor of Glasgow based photography zine Goose Flesh. Selected for a Magenta Foundation Flash Forward Award in 2016, shortlisted for the 2015 Magnum Graduate Award and finalist in 2014 Magnum/ Ideastap Photographic Award. Sarah's work has been featured by Foto8, the Independent on Sunday, BBC News in Pictures, The Guardian and Der Grief, and exhibited internationally at venues including Scottish Parliament, the British Council Gallery (Delhi), Landskrona Foto Festival (Sweden), the Consul'Art (Marseille) and V&A London.
Jeremy Sutton-Hibbert grew up in Scotland, where on his 13th birthday he received the gift of a camera. A few years later he subsequently became a freelance photographer for editorial, corporate and NGO clients. His work has appeared in magazines such as Time, National Geographic, Italian Geo, Le Figaro, The Guardian, The Sunday Times, and many others. For over a decade Jeremy has been one of the principal photographers for Greenpeace International, and his assignment work for editorial and corporate clients has taken him to over 80 countries. His personal and commissioned work, for which he has been the recipient of photojournalism awards, has been widely published and exhibited in Europe, Asia and USA.
Born in Edinburgh, Colin McPherson has been photographing in Scotland and abroad for more than a quarter of a century. He undertakes long-term projects alongside commissions and assignments for a number of newspapers and magazines and is represented by Getty Images. Colin's work is published internationally and held in archives and collections such as the Scottish national photographic archive and the University of St. Andrews University Special Collections. His photography has been featured in more than 30 solo and group exhibitions and his major Document Scotland projects include A Fine Line, The Fall and Rise of Ravenscraig and When Saturday Comes, the last of which was his contribution to the collective's 2015-16 exhibition at the Scottish National Portrait Gallery entitled The Ties That Bind.
Ann M Holmes is another award winning fine art and landscape photographer. Based in Hebden Bridge, Ann explores the length and breadth of the country, and has spent much time in Scotland and its islands. She enjoys exploring some of the UKs most remote coastal locations, which by their very geography, attract the most inclement of weathers and dramatic light. The aim in her land and seascape work is to capture something of the sublime emotional response felt at the time that the shutter was deployed and working from before dawn through to darkness itself she believes is necessary to produce photographs with the maximum impact.
Phil McMenemy is an award winning photographic artist based in Laurieston, Galloway. Phil creates images based in the natural world, and highlights the fine art potential of Scotland in general, and in the region of SW Scotland specifically. His work is often abstract and concerned with movement, light, energy and flow, capturing the moods and vagaries of Galloway, being drawn to form, pattern, structure and shape in the landscape. Phil runs 'The Gallery in Laurieston', and has exhibited in various galleries including 'The Biscuit Factory' in Newcastle, and has collaborated with some interesting local artists and makers over the years.
Leeming & Paterson are well established fine art photographers, based in SW Scotland. Working collaboratively as well as individuals, Ted Leeming and Morag Paterson's work takes them around the world, with the focus on engaging the viewer to understand and appreciate the absolute beauty of our planet and why we should seek to protect it. This exhibition features images from their 'Polphail' project, taken at the Polphail 'ghost village' in the untouched wilds of the Argyll coast. These images show the site as forlorn and eerie, yet beautiful in its transformed, derelict state.
Kirkcudbright based photographer Giles Atkinson is well established in the region as a wedding photographer, but this exhibition offers an insight into a very different world. Giles' passion for the great outdoors. Staying in bothies allows him to enjoy explore the Scottish wilderness for longer, and has resulted in a series of photos depicting his experiences. Giles aims to capture the atmosphere of the hills and bothy life, as well as celebrate the beauty of his surroundings.
David Moses is a street and travel photographer based in Newton Stewart. He likes to work on long form projects. Recent exhibits include Shambellie House, The Workshop Gallery, Out of The Blue (touring exhibit) and Unit 3 Gallery.
Commercial clients include Baxters, The Scottish Government, Dumfries & Galloway Council, Zion Arts, Why Not Associates, The Sunday Express, Kavli Group, St Helen's Farm, Dumfries & Galloway Life, 999 Design, The Co-Op, Castillium, Environmental Arts Festival, The APS Group and more.

Action Jackson
Sgt. Jericho "Action" Jackson has a police officer's badge, a 1966 Chevrolet Impala convertible, and a chest the size of Mount Rushmore (and just as neatly carved).
He uses all of these things in his job, which is running down criminals and basically scaring the bejeebers out of anybody who gets in his way.
He also has a degree from Harvard Law School. (Ahem.) Well, he doesn't use that as much as his chest, but then he seems to prefer the hands-on approach: the legal niceties can wait.
He's also the hero of Action Jackson, a new movie that clearly would like to establish this character as a sequel-worthy guy who could stretch well into the Roman numerals. Strange thing is, he might just do it. Surprise: Action Jackson is an unexpectedly fast and funny movie.
Action is played by Carl Weathers, the fellow who kept coinciding with the business end of Sylvester Stallone's gloves in the Rocky movies. Weathers is, to put it delicately, quite a load, and his comedic talent has been heretofore quiet. But Robert Reneau's script contains just enough clever bits to punch up the character, and Weathers has a sufficiently light touch with the one-liner.
Action, a Detroit cop, has a problem: a really despicable car manufacturer (played by the Poltergeist dad, Craig T. Nelson, with plenty of sarcastic snarl). It's not that he makes bad cars; no, this guy is killing the auto-union officials who are getting in his way.
Nelson has a wife (Sharon Stone) who is innocent about almost everything. He also has a mistress (Vanity) who is innocent about almost nothing. They're both in danger. Action tries to get to the man through these two, but can only manage to save one of them.
The plot exists, of course, as an excuse for a few car chases and some spectacular explosions. But to give the film its due, there's some efficient exposition and a few good secondary characters who are sketched in colorful strokes, like the gravel-voiced ex-pug who manages a rundown hotel, or the hairdresser named Dee who speaks in heavily alliterative phrases prompted by her own first name: "Always delighted to help a detective, dear."
Director Craig R. Baxley provides the obligatory action stuff, but he also gives Action Jackson a hefty measure of good B-movie bounce. Any director who cuts away from an immolating bad guy to a close-up of meat burning on the grill at a swanky barbecue is clearly enjoying himself.
Baxley was an experienced stuntman, and is still going strong as a TV director. Vanity, I am sorry to say, did not become the star that Sharon Stone became, but go figure. The Action Jackson franchise did not ignite with this film, so the character wanders forgotten movie byways with Remo Williams and Jake Speed.

I am not sure how it all started. Probably from my obsessive need to document every moment of my children's lives. I could have read it in a parenting magazine. I'd like to think it was my own ingenuity that began our family tradition. Whatever it was, our Back to School photo op became an annual event. The kids even look forward to it!
Who doesn't take a picture of their child on their first day of school? I wanted to hold onto that image of my baby going out into the world. I started with pre-school. Those cute little cherubic faces, sweet overalls, tiny shoes. I didn't want to forget a moment of that special day. As each child (I have 3) went off to the first day of school, I took their picture. My camera had a date stamp, so I was sure to remember what that snapshot was recording, right? (I finally got rid of that ugly red stamp).
At some point I got the brilliant idea to make a sign for the kids to hold. It says, "My first day of ____ grade" along with the date. The kids even get to pick the color of pen used on the sign. Now I was sure to remember this occasion! In 2002, we moved into the house that we were building. The first day of school was looming for our oldest 2 children; Trent was entering 1st grade and Kari, Kindergarten. I took their pictures individually and then together. With their signs, of course! That event took place in front of our front door. It was a good spot because it was the last thing we did before leaving for the momentous day.
That year, I decided to take their picture at the end of the school year, too. Wow! You could really see how they had changed and grown during that school year. The end of year picture is part of the tradition now, too. The important part in this tradition has become the placement in front of the door. You can really see how they measure up in comparison to the door. The goal for the kids is to see if they have reached the window that makes up the top quarter of the door. Now my oldest has surpassed that goal so he likes to see how much of the window is covered by his head and shoulders.
I am also a 6th grade teacher and I use this tradition in my class, too. On the first day of school I take a headshot of my students. They are usually at their fresh-faced best on the first day. I use the picture for their check in cards. Then at the end of the year, I do an art project using their picture so I take another one at the end of the year. When you are with the kids every day, you don't see the subtle changes or the growth. The pictures make it obvious when you compare the two.
I have made a scrapbook of the photos. I made a page for each grade level and put each childs' picture for that grade level on it. Now I can compare each child to the other at the same grade level. The only caveat is that Trent (the oldest) started Kindergarten almost a whole year older than Cole (our youngest). So when I compare the boys and their heights at the same age, I have to compare two different grade levels. That's okay, it gives me an excuse to look through the album again!
Great article, Lisa! I also take first day of school photos in front of the front door. But I love the idea of doing the last day of school as well to see the contrast. My photos are still on the computer, but maybe someday I'll scrapbook them.
Nice story Lisa! I like the idea of the last day of school photo, it's amazing how much they grow and change in a year.
Hey! I know those guys! Good lookin' kids if I do says so myself! And smart,too...you can tell that just by looking at them! Clearly they take after their Grandpa!
And don't bother putting that mark on the door...I think at least one of them is already taller than you!
Did Cole not get to wear what he wanted that first day? LOL. Great article, Fantastic photos, and even better idea!
Let's Use Those Old Family Photographs!

EWS Round 1 Val Di Fassa
Words By: Bernard Kerr
Photos By: Boris Beyer
Val Di Fassa in the heart of the Dolomites hosted the first round of the 2021 Enduro World Series. After a disrupted 2020 season, the EWS organizers opted for a double header with a race week stretching from Tuesday to Saturday.
Big views and impressive peaks made for a great backdrop for day one of practice. With 4 stages to learn for both races, the team was also excited to be heading out on their new Pivot race bikes. With long stages, great weather and amazing tracks on the menu, it was great to have Morgane back with the team.
Training went well for the whole team. A few training crashes for the boys while learning the limits were brushed off easily. Stage three was a favorite of the day, freshly cut with soft dirt and loam through the woods left lots of opportunity for creative lines and riding.
Racing on Wednesday took a bit to get everyone's head around, but once the flag dropped it was business as usual. Stage one was a 2.7 km trail through the trees with a few boardwalks and man-made features towards the end. Morgane smashed the stage; riding smart she finished 2nd, only 3 seconds back.
Eddie's start wasn't what he was looking for, a few mistakes and a crash left him frustrated. Matt was flying on stage one, kicking off his 2021 EWS challenge with a 5th on the opening stage.
Stage two was the shortest of the weekend. Matt backed up his first stage result with another 5th place and was feeling great on the new bike. Morgane finished 6th and maintained her 2nd place overall.
Stage three was a fun, natural stage, broken up with a savage climb. Eddie had the pre-stage nerves knowing that on the stage he would have to go 'into a dark place' on the climb. Eddie put in his best performance of the race with an 8th. Morgane continued her consistent performance with a 3rd on the stage and showed everyone flat pedals can perform on all gradients.
Matt lost a little time on the stage with a few small mistakes but felt good on the climb and finished 12th, maintaining his top 5 overall position.
Stage four was the longest of the race and, rightly, the queen stage. At over 6km and almost 1000m descent, it was a monster that would take over 11 minutes to race. Matt and Morgane sitting in good overall positions needed a strong stage and top performance.
Eddie felt good on the stage but two crashes left him chasing time again and posting the 29th fastest time on the stage. Giving him 16th overall, Eddie was left frustrated at the mistakes but an ending with a good result considering the crashes gave him confidence that the speed was there for the next race.
Morgane and Matt both finished within 10 seconds of the winners on the final stage. Matt finishing in 5th and Morgane in 3rd shows just how close times are. Continuing their consistent and fast riding put Matt in 4th for the day and Morgane in an amazing 2nd.
A great result for Matt who was riding with no expectations following an injury picked up at the World Cup Downhill in Leogang. Morgane was over the moon with a 2nd and great start to the season. To top things off, Eddie's 16th gave Pivot Factory Racing 2nd fastest team of the day.
A great first outing for the new bikes!
After a much-needed rest day for everyone it was straight back to racing with round two of the EWS 2021 season.
The all new Pro Stage was one stage raced on Friday with extra championship points available and counting towards the round two overall time. A repeat of stage one, but the added element of rain would spice things up. An afternoon storm passed through just as Morgane was dropping in. The track was wild, with some sections like an ice rink and others dusty and dry, it was impossible for the riders to judge their speed. Morgane was unlucky with the weather and battled the conditions and two crashes to finish 19th.
Matt and Eddie fared a little better, with the track getting ridden in it was easier to read but equally beat up. Matt was playing it safe on the unpredictable conditions with a 15th finish while Eddie was finding the speed finishing 11th.
Warm sunny weather greeted the riders for day two of round two. The stages were a repeat of the round one stage but after the pro race and amateur race they were in a much different state, big holes, sniper roots and blown out berms were everywhere.
Morgane had a lot of work to do after a challenging Pro Stage, but kicked things off with a 5th on stage two. Feeling better in the consistent conditions she was able to push and felt good on the bike.
Matt started off with a few wobbles on stage two, only managing 28th after a couple of mistakes. Eddie started as he left off on the Pro Stage, another solid ride and another 11th position.
Stage three was great for the team. A repeat from round one but with the savage climb neutralized it was now a downhill sprint. Morgane rode perfectly, taking the fastest time on the stage and pulling lots of time back in the overall on the 10 minute stage.
Eddie similarly had his best stage for the round taking 3rd on the stage after enjoying the technical track.
The final stage had the most time to gain and lose. With almost 1000m of descending, starting in open alpine turns and finishing in the town, it took in all terrains you could expect on a bike track. Morgane was still climbing up the ranks and a great ride saw her finish 2nd on the stage and take 2nd overall. A great recovery, gaining 17 places over three stages!
Eddie continued his consistent ride with a clean stage and took 10th overall. Matt was enjoying the long physical stage and finishing 10th on the stage boosted him into 13th overall. Two great results from the guys. With top results all round Pivot Factory Racing took 2nd in the team competition once again. Another reward for the team and team effort over the long weekend of racing.

SS Rushville Victory was a Victory ship-based troop transport built for the US Army Transportation Corps (USAT) late in World War II under the Emergency Shipbuilding program.  It saw service in the European Theater of Operations in 1945, 1946 and in the immediate post-war period repatriating US troops.

After being briefly laid up in the US, Rushville Victory was sold for private cargo shipping in 1947 and sank near Antwerp in 1958.

History

Construction
SS Rushville Victory was laid down on March 3, 1945, as a US Maritime Commission (MARCOM) Type C2 ship-based VC2-S-AP2, MCV hull  651, by Bethlehem-Fairfield Shipyard of Baltimore, Maryland. SS Rushville Victory was the last of the 50 Victory ships built by the Bethlehem Ship Corporation. She was launched on April 24, 1945, and later converted into a dedicated troopship. She was operated on behalf of the US Army Transportation Corps (USAT) by Dichmann, Wright & Pugh, Inc.

Beginning on May 25, 1945, Rushville Victory was converted to a troopship along with six other Victory cargo ships at the Savannah Waterfront by the Savannah Machine & Foundry Company.  Her cargo holds were converted to mess halls, exercise places, and sleeping areas with hammocks and bunk beds.

Operation
As a transport allocated to USAT, the Rushville Victory was crewed by US Merchant Marines, protected by a contingent of the US Navy Armed Guards, and had a complement of the US Army Transportation Corps (Water Division) aboard for troop administration.
She was armed with a 5-inch (127 mm) stern gun for use against submarines and surface ships, and a bow-mounted 3-inch (76 mm) gun and eight 20 mm cannon for use against aircraft.

Her Atlantic Ocean crossings include:
Departed Le Havre, France, October 3, 1945, and arrived in the Port of New York on October 11, 1945.
Departed Calais, France, on October 31, 1945, and arrived in New York on November 12, 1945.
Departed Marseille, France, on November 24, 1945, and arrived in New York on December 7, 1945.
Departed Le Havre, France, and arrived in New Jersey on January 5, 1946.
Departed Antwerp, Belgium, with 1,530 troops, including the: 3235th and 3006th  Ordnance Depot Company, 7th Medical Convalescence Hospital, 39th Heavy Signal Construction Battalion, 4423rd Quartermaster Depot Supply Company and the 355th Quartermaster Railhead Company and arrived on February 2, 1946, in New York.

In April 1946, the Rushville Victory took German POWs from New York to Antwerp; this included the crews of the U-boats U-530 and U-977.

As part of Operation Magic Carpet she took US troops home from European port cities known as Cigarette Camps.

Near the end of 1946, with her Atlantic crossings completed, she was laid up in the James River in Virginia as part of the National Defense Reserve Fleet.

Private use and sinking
Rushville Victory was sold in 1947 to A/S Det Ostasiatiske Kompagni of Copenhagen, Denmark and renamed MV Nikobar. In 1954 she was sold to Deniz Nikilyati in Istanbul, Turkey and renamed SS Aydin. In 1955 she was sold to D. B. Deniz Nakliyati T.A.S. of Istanbul and kept her name. On February 11, 1958, The Aydin had a collision with the MS Charles Tellier, owned by French Cie de Messageries Maritimes. After the collision she ran aground in the Schelde River near Antwerp to avoid sinking. She was abandoned and declared a total loss; her masts could be seen above the water line for many years.

I would like to remind you that tomorrow, Tuesday the 4th from 10 am to 12.30pm, I will be at the hall for an informal coffee morning and sewing chat!
If you are interested in joining my sewing classes ( or if you are just curious!), this is a great opportunity to meet, and get a better idea what I would be able to offer.
I will bring with me some of the sewing projects I offer, along with refreshments and biscuits!
Tuesday the 11th, from 10 am to 1pm.
If you are interested in joining but cant make it to this time and day, do let me know as I have many others courses coming soon!
Having completed my fashion degree in France, and trained in renowned fashion studios of New York and London, I packed my city shoes away to take on a journey "behind the seam". Passionate about sustainable materials, I set off for an organic sheep farm producing its own yarns in Carmarthenshire.
A short shepherding career later, I decided to get back to my sewing machines and spread the sewing joys across our hills.
I hope to inspire many more people to learn this simple skill.

Javier and Joaquin Bello will represent Great Britain at the Youth Olympic Games this October in Buenos Aires.
The brothers took a magnificent 5th place at last week's CEV Youth Beach Volleyball Continental Cup Finals in Austria, where they represented England, to seal qualification and a place on Team GB for the beach volleyball at the Youth Olympic Games.
Following on from a 5th place finish at NEVZA and the great experiences gained on the World tour in Alanya, where they achieved their first World Tour win, Joaquin and Javier headed to the CEV Youth Beach Volleyball Continental Cup Finals. Teams from 23 nations were competing, who had all received placement through a qualification process, meaning the competition was far from straight-forward.
Javier and Joaquin Bello proved their class and showed their tournament experience. They knocked down Belarus, Ukraine and Hungary in Pool B on their journey to the Quarter finals. Here they faced a stern test against Czech Republic and were edged out 2-0 (22-20, 21-19). This meant they needed to beat the hosts, Austria, and Hungary to ensure of qualification. They sailed past Austria to ensure 5/6th playoff against Hungary.
As only the top 5 finishers would make the Youth Olympic Games, the pressure was really on. Javier and Joaquin kept their cool and displayed their growing maturity as they battled to a closely fought 2-0 victory (18-21, 20-22). Well done boys!
It's a brilliant achievement to add to their burgeoning beach volleyball careers which has already seen the pair win gold at the Youth Commonwealth Games.
In the women's draw of the CEV Youth Beach Volleyball Continental Cup Finals, Holly Bentley and Ellie Austin had the honour of representing Team England. The pair fought hard against quality opposition in Pool D, but came up short against Austria, Italy and Norway (1-2, 0-2, 0-2 respectively). Italy went on to claim the silver medal, while Norway took the bronze. Although they didn't qualify for the Youth Olympic Games, they will have taken a lot out of the competition.
As well as gaining invaluable tournament experience, the biggest thing it that it will have proved the pair can compete against the best players. They were not blown away and should take much confidence as they look to keep developing their partnership and undoubted potential.

Embracing The Cross
Apr 07, 2014 / Written by: Professor Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira
Are Our Pious Desires But Vain Illusions?
An authentic piety penetrates every recess of our souls, naturally stirring our most intimate emotions. Piety, however, is far more than feelings. It arises deep within ourselves from our knowledge of the truths that govern an interior life formed in accord with the Faith. To be sure, these life-giving truths are often acquired through diligent and disciplined study; but intelligence, like emotion, is an inadequate foundation for piety, which also resides in the will.
Thus we must desire to live the truths we know. It is not sufficient to understand that God is perfect, for example. We must also love His perfection and desire to have some share in it; we must aspire to sanctity.
To desire is not simply to entertain vague notions or feelings. We truly desire something only when we are ready to make every sacrifice necessary to attain it.
Without the will to sacrifice, our "pious desires" are but vain illusions. Tender contemplations of divine truths and sacred mysteries are sterile seeds if they do not bear fruit in firm resolutions to live our faith.
Meditating on the Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ is a praiseworthy devotion, but we must follow the Way of the Cross in our lives as well as in our churches. We must give Our Lord sincere proofs during these days of our devotion and love, amending our lives and fighting with all our strength in defense of the Holy Catholic Church.
"Why Persecutest Thou Me?"
When Our Lord confronted Saint Paul on the road to Damascus, He asked him, "Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou Me?" (Acts 9:4). Since Saul was persecuting the Church, Our Lord's words make it clear that to persecute Christ's Church is to persecute Christ Himself, for the Church is the Mystical Body of Christ.
If the Church is persecuted today, then Christ is persecuted, and Our Lord's Passion is being relived in our days. Every act that draws a soul away from the Church persecutes Christ. To separate a soul from the Church is to amputate a member of the Mystical Body of which Our Lord Jesus Christ is the Head. To wrench a soul from the Church is like chopping off Our Lord's hand, severing His leg, pulling out His eye.
Therefore, if we desire to identify with the Passion of Christ, let us indeed meditate on His sufferings at the hands of His persecutors nearly 2,000 years ago, but let us not forget to consider all that is being done to inflict the same wounds on His Mystical Body today.
Above all, let us not fail to examine our own acts of indifference, cowardice, and betrayal. While His sacred blood mingled with the dirt during His agony in the garden, Our Lord foresaw the sins of all men of all times. He saw our sins and suffered for each one of them. In the Garden of Olives we were present with Christ as executioners and, as such, we accompanied His bloodstained steps to the heights of Golgotha.
Behold the suffering of Holy Mother Church mocked and jeered before our jaded eyes. She stands before us as Our Lord once stood before Veronica. Let us console the Church by defending Her whatever the cost. In doing so, we will be consoling Christ as Veronica did.
How Many Souls Will Lose Their Faith?
Certain truths about God and our supernatural end we can learn by using the reason He has given us. Because our reason has been clouded by sin, however, we can know other truths only because God has taught us. In His infinite goodness, He has revealed them to us in the Old and New Testaments.
Our belief in Revelation is grounded in the virtue of faith. Without faith there is no salvation, but no one can make an act of faith without the supernatural help of God's grace. God offers this grace to all men, but He showers it in torrential abundance on the members of His Mystical Body, the Church. Through faith, the Holy Ghost dwells within us, sanctifying our bodies as His holy temple (cf. 1 Cor. 6:19). To abandon the Faith is to reject the Holy Ghost, to expel Jesus Christ from our souls.
Yet, around us we see many Catholics who have rejected the Faith. They were baptized, but in the course of time they lost their faith. Alas, they suffered this loss through their own fault, for howsoever enticed by others, no one loses his faith without mortal fault. Behold them, indifferent and hostile, thinking, feeling, and living like pagans. They may be our relatives, our neighbors, perhaps even our friends. Their disgrace is immense. The mark of their baptism is indelible.
Marked for heaven, they are bound for hell. The blood of Christ has been sprinkled on their souls, and no one can efface it, yet they defile it by adopting principles and norms that violate the doctrines of Christ's Church.
And we? Are we troubled? Are we concerned? Does this pain us? Do we pray for their conversion? Make reparation? Are we apostolic? Where is our counseling? Our argumentation? Our charity? Where is our fearless and energetic defense of the truths that they deny or insult?
The Sacred Heart of Jesus bleeds because of this. It bleeds for the apostasies of these souls and for our indifference, an indifference that is twice guilty because it is indifferent to our neighbor and, first and foremost, to God.
How many souls around the world are losing their faith?
Consider the endless numbers of impious newspapers and magazines, broadcasts and films, that flood the world daily. Consider the innumerable workers of Satan who, in academia, in the bosom of the family, in meeting rooms, in places of entertainment, propagate impious ideas. The consequences are before us. Institutions, customs, and art are becoming ever more de-Christianized, an undeniable indication that the entire world is losing God.
Is there not some great scheme in all of this? Can so many articulate and uniform methods, united in their objectives and development, be merely coincidental? Since when have spontaneous motions concertedly produced the most complete, organized, extensive, ingenious, and formidable ideological offensive in history, fully consistent in its essence, its goals, and its development?
We don't think about it. We don't even perceive it. We sleep the heavy sleep of our daily lives. Why are we not more vigilant? The Church suffers greatly, but alone. Far from Her, very far from Her, we slumber. The scene in the Garden of Olives is repeated.
"Could You Not Watch One Hour With Me?"
We, thanks be to God, still profess the Faith that so many have abandoned and betrayed.
But what use do we make of it? Do we love it? Do we understand that our greatest happiness in life consists in being members of the holy Church, that our greatest glory is the title of Christian? If we respond in the affirmative — and how rare are those who, in good conscience, could so respond — are we ready to make every sacrifice in order to preserve our faith?
Before answering with a romantic yes, let us take a moment to examine our consciences honestly. Do we ever seek occasions that might put our faith at risk? Do we enjoy worldly pleasures that are — at best — indifferent to it? Do we read or view materials that violate its standards? Do we welcome the company of those who disregard or even disparage it?
By virtue of their instinct of sociability, all men are prone to conform to popular opinion, to accept the conventional wisdom around them. Today's dominant opinions contravene the teachings of the Church in philosophy, sociology, history, science, art — ultimately, in everything. Our friends quite likely follow the trend. Do we have the courage to stand against it? Do we guard our hearts against any penetration of erroneous ideas? Are we of one mind with the Church in everything? Or are we content with negligently going about our business, taking in everything the spirit of the times instills simply because it instills it?
Perhaps we have not expelled Our Lord from our souls, but how do we treat this Divine Guest? Is He the object of all our attention, the center of our intellectual, moral, and affective life? Is He our King? Or do we allot Him only a small space where He is tolerated as a secondary guest, a rather uninteresting and inconvenient guest?
When the Divine Master groaned, wept, and sweat blood during His Passion, He was tormented not solely by physical sorrows, nor just those sufferings occasioned by the hatred of those who persecuted Him then. He was also tormented by everything that we would do against Him and the Church in the coming centuries. He wept because of the hatred of all the evil men, every Arius, Nestorius, and Luther. But He also wept foreseeing the unending procession of lukewarm souls, apathetic souls, that, while not persecuting Him, do not love Him as they ought.
This is the innumerable multitude of those who spend their lives neither hating nor loving and who, according to Dante, remain at the gates of Hell because not even Hell has sufficient place for them. Are we among these? This is the great question that with God's grace we must answer in the days of recollection, piety, and expiation we are about to enter.

I offer online counselling in English. I use e.g. Skype or Facetime for online counselling with clients who are in France. Our work together is framed as if you were here with me in my practice rooms in the UK or France. Are you experiencing any of the following?
having trouble in your relationship?
I believe you can move through this. No matter what you've been through, no matter how much it's hurting right now, no matter what you've been told, or what you tell yourself. A supportive relationship is an effective way to invite away the blockages to change. In counselling we create that supportive relationship together.
There is a part of you that believes in you too, the part of you that brought you here.
The difficult bit is over. Something in your current experience has already brought you this far. What I would say is Contact Me by email or 'phone - Let's talk about how we might work together.
My fee for our one hour session online is £45 or €50 – this can be paid using online banking or PayPal. I'll send through my banking details as we begin our work.
When we meet online you'll need a space which is quiet and comfortable for an hour.
If you are in crisis or experiencing some other acute or severe situation then online counselling is not the way forward. This means if you face the risk of harming yourself or others, or of psychiatric relapse. If this is the case I recommend you read the notes on risk on my website.

Visa CEO Looks Ahead at the World of Crypto
The CEO of Visa is optimistic that more digital currencies will be running on the Visa network in the future.

Visa CEO Alfred Kelly said that he sees big potential in cryptocurrencies.
Digital assets will be very useful in countries with high numbers of unbanked people, he added.
However, it may take several years before Visa fully embraces the nascent technology.
Alfred Kelly, CEO of payments giant Visa, said that his company sees big potential in digital currencies in the years to come, especially in developing markets with significant numbers of unbanked people, according to CNBC's report published on Friday.
"Crypto is a developing part of payments in the world," Kelly said, adding, "Ultimately, we could see digital currencies running on the Visa network on a more regular basis," albeit "a number of years out."
The company recently acquired Plaid, a company that helps 11,000 financial institutions in the US and 2,700 fintech developers to exchange data.
"We're a network and increasingly trying to become a network of networks," Kelly noted, explaining, "Plaid is just at its most simple level another network that we believe fits into a desire to have multiple networks on which we move information and money around the world."
The Visa CEO added that one of crypto's biggest advantages lies with the 1.7 billion unbanked people around the world who don't have access to traditional accounts.
"There are 1.7 billion people on the face of the Earth we think are not banked in a mainstream banking system in whatever country they live in, including some here in the US," Kelly noted, adding, "We are certainly open to any vehicle that helps facilitate the movement of money around the world. We want to be in the middle of it."
Simultaneously, Visa plans to cooperate with central banks if—or when—they will start issuing their own central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). While most of these projects are still in the early stages of development, Kelly noted, the company expects that these efforts will come to fruition in the future.
"We continue to expect to work with central banks around the world as they develop digital currencies for the future," the Visa CEO said. And it looks like that will be with many of them.

Geraldine Ondrizek is a research-based artist and professor at Reed College who works at the intersection of art and medical science. After the tragic loss of her first child to a genetic anomaly fifteen years ago, she dove into her family's genetic history and shifted her gaze to a nanoscopic one. For the last 15 years, she has worked closely with genetic scientists to trace ethnic identities, portray life spans, and depict genetically inherited conditions. Her work ignites interest and inquiry about the influence of cancer and other diseases on both individuals and entire families. Robin Bennett, UW Medicine senior genetic counselor and co-director of the UW Genetic Medicine Clinic, works closely with patients and families who are concerned about inherited diseases or conditions.
In 2009, I initiated and facilitated a unique collaboration between Geraldine Ondrizek, and Robin Bennett, a pioneering genetic counselor and her team of groundbreaking research scientists at the University of Washington's Medical Genetics Center. It is a pivotal time in medical genetics…a field that is exploding with discoveries, breakthroughs as well as misunderstandings and controversies over how we use and interpret genetic data.
One of our goals with this curatorial and public scholarship effort was to make genetics visible, accessible and better understood. As curator, I have taken many people through the exhibit…explaining the art work, Gerri's process, the collaboration with UW and our intention as a team to reach a broader audience with this work. What I have discovered, in listening to people's questions about the work, is that everyone has a unique genetic story to tell…and that we can also learn so much from each other's stories.
Jane Chin Davidson, exhibition curator UHCL, art history professor, curated a multi-site installation, INNER SPACE, GLOBAL MATTER, at the University of Houston Gallery of Art, Johnson Space Center and Florida International University November of 2012. In addition, she hosted and moderated a cross disciplinary panel discussion, Intersections of Art, Science and Technology. Panelists included: Geraldine Ondrizek, Reed College art professor; Darrin Leleux, engineer, NASA Johnson Space Center; Lory Z.

And all I got was a T-shirt. OK, that's not all I got. I got to make people happy by pouring glasses of Deschutes reserve beers: The Dissident. The Abyss. Black Butte XXIX.
The line for The Abyss was pretty long. But well behaved.
The Oregon brewery brought 400-foot pub to Pere Marquette Park across the street from the Journal Sentinel building. Bands set up in the parking lot. The bar set up in the middle of Old World Third Street. I'd tell you more about the layout but I was working in the middle of it all.
At 3:30 we poured The Dissident. At 5:30 we poured The Abyss (kicked that keg in 30 minutes which I guess is a record but this is Milwaukee). At 7:30 we poured Black Butte. It's a curious perspective from which to watch people.
Some were kinder than kind, happily slipping in tips which, like the profits, went to the Hunger Task Force or the Westown Association. There were a couple guys who grumbled. One who left clutching his $5 token because I wouldn't give him two for one. Dude, it's for charity.
I met great people behind the bar. I met some fun people on the receiving side of the bar. And when it was over, I walked around in my giant Street Pub volunteer T-shirt (why did I get a large?) and sipped a glass of Black Butte XXIX in all its cocoa and cayenne goodness. Because I was off duty. And I could.

The Nokia 6555 walks exactly the same road as the Nokia N80. But how are they connected, I hear our conscious readers, who would never confuse an NSeries smartphone with a no-frills S40-powered folder, ask. The fact of the matter is that the backgrounds of these two handsets bear an uncanny resemblance. Both were originally designed for the US market, premiered on it, and then went on to become available in other regions. Generally, it is a rare instance when Nokia manages to come up with a device created exclusively for some particular region without it ending up available on other markets later on. But the story of the Nokia 6555 is even more twisted. This handset was originally designed for AT&T as an affordable mid-tier offering; on top of that they had to meet the following conditions stipulated by the carrier: it had to revolve around the price point of LG-branded phones and it had to be a 3G-enabled clamshell packing in more (or just as much) punch than Motorola's and Samsung's solutions. Initially the carrier thought this model would settle down in its portfolio for a long while, and arrive with the price tag of 130-150 USD (with a contract, of course). Nokia took this task with all seriousness, as a deal with AT&T gave them a chance to hop back into the US market. Not only did they decide to arm it with a powerful feature set, but they also added some visual appeal to it with a fancy design. However, they are no magicians and that's why this affordable handset was decked out in fitting materials, whereas its design was inspired by a more expensive phone. So the resulting mix was quite something: relatively cheap plastic fused with an appealing design and folder mechanism, which is called "smooth-back" by the way.
As it usually happens, everything thought that AT&T would love this phone so much that it would sell in droves. But when the 6555's sales kicked off in September 2007, the company ran into a short surge of sales, which then went on a downswing. What was the reason for such a dramatic change in the consumers' minds? In many ways it happened due to the phone's positioning, as it was touted as a solution for high-speed connection to AT&T network, music and video downloads from the carrier's own store and so on. Given all this, the 6555 retailed for around 100 USD (the users could get a 50 dollar return via mail) on a 24 month contract. For comparison's sake: phones (although without the much-hyped 3G) that were viewed similar or even identical by prospective buyers were available on similar contacts with AT&T for free. That's why the carrier couldn't afford to buy up hundreds of thousands phones, while as far as Nokia is concerned, production of less than a million units of one particular model is out of the question for the economy of scale reasons. Mind that we are talking about mass-market handsets, as some phones actually are churned out in small quantities. So, getting back to our story, the finale takes no rocket scientist to predict – AT&T's "exclusive offering", without much fuss, debuted in other regions.
Had Nokia been planning to launch this phone somewhere else from the word go? It doesn't really matter now, since it has already happened and the 6555 is now effectively available around the globe. It shouldn't be viewed as a key offering or some sort of a mass-market product in spite of its positioning. This phone's life span won't be too long; therefore it will flash on the horizon and vanish right off. Even unofficial supplies from the US came to a halt shortly after the 6555's release – nobody was that deep in love with its design to shell out 400-450 USD for it. Incidentally, the Nokia 6131 is almost an exact replica of the 6555, yet packs an older version of the S40, which consumers will never recognize anyway. It has stood the test of time and is currently enjoying great sales at its price point of 220 USD. You want something more? Then look no further, the Nokia 6267 ships with a 2 Mpix camera, music keys embedded in the top flip, all this for 300 USD. So common sense should hint that the Nokia 6555 will go for 250-300 USD, occupying a slim niche between the Nokia 6131 and the Nokia 6267.
The 6555's unique feature that the maker highlights is the angle between the halves when the phone is open – its close 180 degrees and what is more, the halves nearly join together with no sharp edges in sight. This design is dubbed "smooth-back", hinting at the smoothness of the surface. But is this treat all that unique and unparalleled? By no means – the Philips 855 was the first phone to adopt it, plus there were some Samsung-branded solutions and a handful of handsets from other manufacturers. The 6555's hinge is no engineering marvel, nor is it more or less reliable than other solutions out three.
The 6555 combines two materials, including the glossy plastic used for the rounded inset running through the handset's front fascia and rear place. The handset comes in a choice of three colors: black, brown and red, which change only the trim of the framing. In fact, that's a common trick utilized in other models as well.
The glossy finish of the 6555 is quite a fingerprint-magnet, however hands and face grease and smudge aren't that discernible on it, which somewhat saves it face. Inside the clamshell is black matte plastic, no sign of the soft-touch coating, though. While it is quite cheap, it still looks pretty good. I do think this sort of plastic is acceptable here, although with time it will get covered with whitish spots in the places where you touched it more often.
The buttons housed on the left-hand spine are put on the top flip, so that when you flick the 6555 open, they end up above the hinge, which makes them fiddly to tap. Also sitting here is the volume rocker along with the camera button that works even with the handset closed. Regrettably, the 6555's outer display is of no use little use as far as phone management goes, so will always have to snap the phone open to play with its features. Other Nokia-branded models, on the other hand, allow viewing missed calls, for example, right on the external screen.
The left flank also features the microUSB socket, while the opposite side has the 2.5mm audio jack and charger socket (2mm) embedded.
The 6555's build quality is pretty solid, although we noticed that the back cover was slightly loose and creaks while holding the phone in the hand, but generally it won't bother you much. The phone is palm-friendly and easy to flip open at 99.6x44.3x19.6 mm and 97 grams.
The outer display shows up to 262 K colors (TFT) at a resolution of 128x160 pixels. For the most part it serves two purposes – showcasing a neat-looking screensaver with an analog clock and showing the caller's picture or video ID. In all other instances it is idle or has only a small portion of its real estate used. It is somewhat readable in the sun; however it does get extremely washed out to the extent when all colors pale. It is not particularly bright, but even as it is, this display does the job of notifying you of incoming calls.
The display inside is a QVGA unit (240x320 pixels, 2-inch diagonal, 31x41 mm), capable of showing up to 16 million colors (TFT), which are all bright and vibrant. Sadly, there is no way to adjust this display's brightness from the settings menu, meaning that it is always evenly lit in order to save some power. The display benefits from the mirrored underlayer, making for better legibility in the sun – you won't have a hard time trying to make out what's written on it.
The display accommodates up to 8 text and 3 service lines. The font is pretty big and certainly readable; it can be altered for some modes.
The buttons are average size-wise, yet convenient to tap and more importantly soft – together, all this makes for a very gratifying experience of texting and dialing with it. The four-way navigation key is flanked by soft-keys and shortcuts. All keys are lit in white, which is well-visible in various environments.
The microSD memory expansion slot (cards up to 8 GB are supported) is perched underneath the battery. The handset also comes equipped with 31 Mb of built-in memory.
The 6555 utilizes a 1020 mAh Li-Ion battery (BL-5C), rated for 300 hours of standby and 6.5 hours of talk time. In Moscow it lasted around 3 days with 3 hours of calls and up to 5 hours of music. It takes the Nokia 6555 around 2 hours to charge up.
We managed to squeeze 11 hours 20 minutes (in earphones) of music in one non-stop session.
On balance, in terms of battery life this is one of the best performers out there – those who only make calls with their phones will be happy to know that the 6555 can give them 3 to 5 days of battery time (it all comes down to how much time you spend on the phone), which is a phenomenal figure against the backdrop of contemporary feature-rich solutions that can stay online 2 days at best.
This handset has a 1.3 mpx camera (CMOS) which is not that much by today's standards, but it is still pretty much sufficient for a mid-tier offering. Unlike some solutions that come armed with 2 Mpix cameras, Nokia has decided not to bet on the camera part in the Nokia 6555, it is more of an optional feature here. This is why camera's module picked for 6555 is one of the cheapest units out there, and provides pretty poor quality.
Two lower resolutions were added for creating photos that would fit as wallpapers for display (outer/inner). Three JPEG compression types are supported: basic, normal, high. Considering the fact that photos do not blow your imagination away, it is better to go for the top quality, it won't get any worse after all.
When shooting indoors, the matrix seems to lack sensitivity – darker objects get blurred with green stains, this goes especially for backgrounds. Turning the night mode on saves the day, yet the colors get dim.
For those who love to shoot a lot of photos at once, there is special mode for you – the camera makes up to 3 shots at a time, all settings remain similar to those selected for the single shot mode, including the resolution. There is an auto-timer for self-shots , however due to the fact the camera starts up when the handset is closed (the outer display doubles as a viewfinder), it won't be very helpful.
Video. The handset allows recording video in 3GP format, available resolution – 128x96 pixels, or 176x144 pixels. There are three recording quality settings available. You can limit a recording's length, but it also can be unlimited, so you will keep capturing videos until the memory runs out (memory card or internal storage). Effects can be applied for video just as they can be applied for still images, they are all the same. The quality of the 6555's videos is pretty mediocre, although we didn't expect bells and whistles from it on this front.
USB. The Nokia 6555 comes with the microUSB socket, housed on the left edge of the phone. This socket is used for plugging in a data cable (the phone starts doesn't start charging up, though). The vendor says the handset supports USB 2.0, and it does indeed, in the USB Mass Storage mode the USB connection offers 500-600 Kb/s (topping out at 800 Kb/s). This is slower than the Motorola RAZR2 V8, which also comes installed with the microUSB-socket.
Upon successful connection you can pick one of the following modes: USB Mass Storage, Nokia Mode (PC Studio) or Printing&Media. There is no support for MTP mode, music tracks have to be moved onto the phone manually.
The phone is a typical offering for its generation – no bells and whistles here. Compared to Sony Ericsson's solutions, the 6555 is quite a mediocre performer.
The handset comes preinstalled with an array of games – Golf Tour, Rally 3D, Sudoku, Soccer 3D.
The Applications section includes such standard functions like World Clock, Opera Mini, Converter, Yahoo! Go. Some markets may also see other applications installed on the 6555. New Java applications can be uploaded over the air or directly into the handset's memory (no size limits).
The volume of the 6555's polyphony is high enough to make sure you will hear it in various environments. While it sounds a tad muffled as opposed to phones enjoying two speakers, the Nokia 6555 is still loud enough. The reception quality was never an issue with the handset either. The vibro alert is average strength-wise, but it does the job even if the phone is stuffed inside a pocket.
The 6555 has no direct competition, for its price/quality ratio leaves much to be desired. It is rather a niche solution for those who will fall for its fancy design and neat clock on the front. The phone has no crucial drawbacks and nor does it pack in any bells and whistles. The bottom line on the 6555 is this: an entry-level solution that, due to certain circumstances, retails for not-so-entry-level money. With its price tag of 250-280 USD it can't stand up even to Nokia's own products, like the 6131 and the 6267. By the way, the Nokia 6555 doesn't come packaged with a headset or memory card, which will set back the end-user even more. All up, if you are not keen on its looks, then there is no particular reason why you should go for it.

middle quotes
I don't see pitches down the middle anymore - not even in batting practice.Hank Aaron
Ten years ago I said, you know, my goal is to be able to get food on the table. What I'm trying to say by that is trying to create a vibrant, capable and effective middle class. The quicker and stronger that we can be able to do this, the easier it is for political reform to move forward.Abdallah II
We want to be, I think, an example for the rest of the Arab world, because there are a lot of people who say that the only democracy you can have in the Middle East is the Muslim Brotherhood.King Abdullah II
I don't think the Middle East could afford another war.King Abdullah II
I think it's almost impossible for any expert to predict for the rapid changes we see in the Middle East. They are rapid and they will continue for quite a while.King Abdullah II
No matter what's happening in the Middle East - the Arab Spring, et cetera, the economic challenges, high rates of unemployment - the emotional, critical issue is always the Israeli-Palestinian one.King Abdullah II
The more I support with my economic plans the building of a middle class, the quicker they're going to turn around and say, 'Hey, we want a bigger say in things.' So, I knew what I was getting into right at the beginning. It's the right thing to do.King Abdullah II
The United States is the most powerful nation on Earth and it just can't walk away from the Middle East and central Asia and the Horn of Africa.John Abizaid
I had a very difficult relationship with my mother. She used to wake me up in the middle of the night if I wasn't sleeping straight and was messing up the sheets. Now when I stay in hotels I sleep so straight they don't even think I've used the bed.Marina Abramovic
Rioting has always been a London tradition. It has been since the early Middle Ages. There's hardly a spate of years that goes by without violent rioting of one kind or another. They happen so frequently that they are almost part of London's texture.Peter Ackroyd
The thing about women playing boys is that we're not going to age, and we're not going to go through puberty in the middle of a long-running series.Pamela Adlon
I do fairly represent Middle Eastern women.Shohreh Aghdashloo
First, you have stereotypes, and that will be the black drug dealer, the east Asian kung fu master, the Middle Eastern terrorist in 'True Lies.' Then you have stuff that takes place on culturally specific terrain, that engages with it, but actually subverts assumptions. 'Smashes' stereotypes. That's where I've come into the game.Riz Ahmed
In the middle of the night, when you're ambiguously ethnic, like me, when you're brown, beige, mauve, siena, one of those lighter browns in the Crayola box. You have to be careful of the cops and robbers, because nobody's quite sure what you are, but everybody has assumptions.Sherman Alexie
The institution of chivalry forms one of the most remarkable features in the history of the Middle Ages.Horatio Alger
In the middle of the journey of our life I came to myself within a dark wood where the straight way was lost.Dante Alighieri
The only thing you think of is that you are in the middle and that you've got to find a way to stop it.Ivan Allen
You know, I don't really understand a suburban environment. I want to be out in the woods, I want to be where it's wild, I want to wake up and hear birds, I want to walk outside and see a gaggle of turkeys bouncing across my lawn - I want to be someplace like that - or I want to be right in the middle of an urban environment.Karen Allen
I was home schooled in high school but was definitely the nerd in middle school.Nicole Anderson
My own theory is that we are in the middle of a dramatic and broad technological and economic shift in which software companies are poised to take over large swathes of the economy.Marc Andreessen

Loyalist College confirms another COVID-19 case associated with school bringing total to 10
By James Tubb
BELLEVILLE – Another case of COVID-19 associated with Loyalist College was confirmed on Thursday.
According to the Hastings Prince Edward Public Health Unit information circulated by the college, the newest case is a low risk for transmission to the college campus community. The student was not on campus when diagnosed as being infected.
Loyalist is informing staff and students about every case that involves an individual from within the college.
Since November 19, there are a total of 10 cases of the virus associated with the school. Some students were on campus when they were infectious, but others were not. All 10 cases were deemed low risks to those on campus.
The message delivered by the health unit, in this case, and the other nine, is that anyone who is deemed to be at risk for contracting the virus or being in contact with those infected would be contacted directly by either public health or the college.
If staff or students were not contacted, they are perceived to not be at risk and can continue visiting campus as normal.
Factors that determine the decision (high or low risk of transmission) are whether masks were used and their quality, physical distancing in effect and how much time the individuals interact, and the nature of their interaction.
To streamline the increasing amount of COVID-19 updates, Loyalist is also adding graphics to their announcement to help with clarity and transparency.
This is an example of the college's graphic now being used in its releases to staff and students. Screen capture by Loyalist College.
A town hall about the new COVID-19 restrictions at the school and provide details regarding the school's current cases of COVID-19 was held involving staff, students, senior administration, and representatives from the health unit last Thursday.
At the meetings, Loyalist College President Anne-Marie Vaughan emphasized the need to reduce the risk of transmission. She asked anyone from a grey lockdown zone (Toronto and Peel) or a red control zone (Durham, Hamilton, Halton, Waterloo, and York) to stay home and avoid traveling to campus.
The college has yet to announce their plans for what will happen to students who return home to red or grey zones for Christmas break and whether they will be allowed to return to in-person classes in January.

Bridge of Scarlet Leaves
Excerpt on Amazon
Los Angeles, 1941. Violinist Maddie Kern's life seemed destined to unfold with the predictable elegance of a Bach concerto. Then she fell in love with Lane Moritomo. Her brother's best friend, Lane is the handsome, ambitious son of Japanese immigrants. Maddie was prepared for disapproval from their families, but when Pearl Harbor is bombed the day after she and Lane elope, the full force of their decision becomes apparent. In the eyes of a fearful nation, Lane is no longer just an outsider, but an enemy.
When her husband is interned at a war relocation camp, Maddie follows, sacrificing her Juilliard ambitions. Behind barbed wire, tension simmers and the line between patriot and traitor blurs. As Maddie strives for the hard-won acceptance of her new family, Lane risks everything to prove his allegiance to America, at tremendous cost.

Night Owl Reviews Top Pick
It was many years ago when I first heard the extraordinary account of a family friend—how, remarkably, he had fought for America and his brother had served for Japan. The story stuck with me. Gradually it evolved into the seed of a very personal novel, given that my mother is a Caucasian American and my father is a Japanese immigrant. But it wasn't until I was knee-deep in research that I made another stunning discovery: the fact that approximately two hundred non-Japanese spouses had chosen to live voluntarily in what are known as U.S. internment camps. I instantly knew it was a part of history I needed to tell.
In preparing for the book, my research expeditions became unforgettable highlights. They included a pilgrimage to the Manzanar relocation camp, an exploration of L.A.'s Little Tokyo, and even a flight on a B-17 bomber! But truly, it was my interviews with several Japanese American WWII veterans that made the greatest impact on me. These men had bravely served in a secret branch of the U.S. Army, risking their lives in a fight for democracy, all while their families were interned back at home. And yet, to this day they insist they were simply "doing their jobs as Americans."
"McMorris's second novel...gracefully blossoms through swift prose and rich characters. This gripping story about two "brothers" in arms and a young woman caught in between them hits all the right chords."
"[McMorris] creates a believable world...all while perfectly capturing the flavor of the period. A sweeping yet intimate novel that will please both romantics and lovers of American history."
"Impeccably researched and beautifully written, Bridge of Scarlet Leaves is a story of loss, triumph, and awakening—and of forgiving those who have injured us the most. I highly recommend this book!
Karen White, New York Times bestselling author of The Time Between
"A poignant, authentic story of Japanese and American lovers crossed not only by the stars but by the vagaries of war and their own country's prejudices."
Jenna Blum, New York Times bestselling author of Those Who Save Us
"Rich in historical detail, peopled with well-developed characters, and spiced with tension and drama, Bridge of Scarlet Leaves is a novel to savor, and then to share with a friend."
Historical Novels Review
"A beautiful, timeless love story, rich in detail and emotion, Kristina McMorris' words reach right off the page and grab at your heart."
Sarah Jio, New York Times bestselling author of Blackberry Winter
"An unputdownable love story...[McMorris's] attention to detail is meticulous, the East meets West clash between cultures—revelatory."
Lesley Kagen, New York Times bestselling author of Whistling in the Dark
"This WWII novel has a refreshingly different point of view. A wonderfully poignant tale, it's at times terribly dramatic and others beautifully gentle."

The newly polished Indonesia-Papua New Guinea (PNG) integrated border post in Skouw, Papua is now being a new tourist destination as ordered by President Joko Widodo. The building that stands as the border of Indonesia and PNG looks different than ever before. Officially opened on May 2017, it was built and designed with the cultural taste of Skouw.
The twin building outer design, a replication of entangled spouses, symbolizes the value of unity. Other distinguished cultural patterns and symbols are also embellished on every side of the building. Not only Skouw patterns, we can also find gecko patterns as a symbol of people in the border as well as a shield design on it.
Currently, the main zone of Skouw border post includes the building which has been officially launched. Meanwhile, the construction of the second zone has begun and is expected to finish by the end of this year. The second stage construction includes the building of a church, a mosque, a market with 400 stands, a plenary hall, Wisma Indonesia (Indonesian House), and residential area for the staffs, police and military officers. The security fences and sea cliff's fences would be built consecutively. Once the fences are erected, there would be no opening for illegal routes, eliminating the possibility of illegal border crossers.
"The first stage construction has completed. The second stage has reached 80 percent and to be wrapped up this year. There is two-hectares area for the national development," Frans Imbiri, the Deputy of Skouw Border Post Area Development, explained in Muara Tami District, Jayapura (24/5).
Not only Skouw Integrated Border Post is a symbol of a rapid development in border area, it is hyped as a new tourist site. Looking back to the old days, most border areas are usually crowded by visitors only during the market days. Now, there is no day without visitors coming from all regions, simply to take photos around the border post.
In order to anticipate the increasing numbers of visitors, the building of public toilets is included in the development agenda. Currently, there have been 10 toilets available inside the main building, and the construction for 10 additional toilets outside the building will soon be started.
Administrator of Skouw Integrated Border Post, Yan Z. Numberi said that President Jokowi instructed that this border post should be made as a new tourist destination. Therefore, people from any region can come and see. According to Yan, tourists' enthusiasm is lived up after the post launching a year ago.
"Before the construction, the area was only used to cross the border. Not many people passing by here. But now thousands of people from all area of Indonesia visit it as a tourist destination," Yan explained.
Most of the visitors come to the border post to take pictures of several unique and distinguished spots, such as the SKOUW sign in front of the post, the red-white Border Post of Indonesia sign, the front-side of the Garuda statue, and green areas around the post as well as the border gate. Some even asked the military officers to take picture together.
Not only tourists, groups of students often come to witness the new building of Skouw integrated border post. One of the groups visiting the border on the weekend are children from Children Empowerment Center in Skanto District, Keerom Regency. Those kids wearing green uniform walk along the border area to the neutral zone between Indonesia and PNG while listening to the the tour guide.
"We want to show the children the border and the monument. Many children haven't been here before, thus we want to introduce them to our country's border," Yusfita, the tutor explained.

On September 10, the Children's Committee will be presenting a program with guest, Donna Salamoff, who will be sharing the book, The Garden Wall, which tells the tale of a special friendship between a hearing child and a deaf child. Donna, who is deaf herself, will be signing the story, while it is read out loud by another reader. Below are three other books in our collection which feature deaf characters who are strong, creative, and have much to teach us all.
A Song for a Whale, by Lynne Kelly
Suggested ages: 9-12 years
The Song for a Whale is the inspiring story of Iris, who was born deaf, as she navigates her own world and beyond, to the world of Blue 55, a hybrid blue/fin whale who is not part of a pod, but swims alone. Iris learns that scientists have discovered that Blue 55 sings her own unique song which is 55 hertz, a lower frequency than the level most other whales can hear. Iris feels an immediate connection, as most of her classmates and teachers do not communicate in sign language as she has learned from her grandparents who were also deaf. Thus begins Iris's mission to create a "song" which Blue 55 can "hear" and not feel alone in her ocean world.
Iris's talent and passion in repairing radios, sensing their vibrations when they are again working, provides her a practical understanding of sound frequencies. With this background, she pursues the seemingly impossible, and sets out to communicate with Blue 55. Her grandmother, who is coping with the recent loss of Iris's grandfather, joins Iris in her mission. This culminates in a journey not only in miles, from their home in Houston to Appleton, Alaska, but also in emotional growth for them both. Song for a Whale deservedly received the 2020 Schneider Family Book Award, which honors a book that "embodies an artistic expression of the disability experience for child and adolescent audiences."
Boogie Bass, Sign Language Star by Claudia Mills, art by Grace Zong
Suggested ages: 6-9 years
Boogie, the oldest of the four boys in his family, thinks of himself as clumsy, feeling he can never get anything right. But he begins to gradually have more faith in himself during a sign-language camp which his class is participating in. He is fascinated by the creativity of the signs used in American Sign Language (ASL). He concludes that "whoever had thought up the signs was a total sign-thinking up genius!" Boogie's confidence grows during a field trip, as he learns to communicate with children who are deaf or hard of hearing. He realizes perfection isn't necessary, but rather being successful in sharing thoughts and feelings with others when signing.
Mills's manuscript was critiqued by the Gallaudet University (the world's only university in which all programs are designed for deaf or hard of hearing students) to ensure that ASL and Deaf culture was represented respectfully and accurately. The book concludes with a worthwhile postscript providing some facts about sign language. Boogie Bass is part of the series After-School Superstars.
I Am Helen Keller by Brad Meltzer, illustrated by Christoper Eliopoulos
I am Helen Keller highlights the life of this renowned and admirable woman through a format similar to graphic novels, with limited print and colorful graphics as well as occasional comic cells and frequent speech bubbles. It highlights major events in Helen's life, beginning with her loss of sight and hearing at nineteen months, followed by two pages in black with directions for the child reader to close her eyes and block her ears in order to dramatize Helen Keller's new world.
Helen's frustrations as a child, the change in her world which her teacher Anne Sullivan made possible, and her accomplishments as an adult are clearly presented. To further understanding, raised dots for the Braille Script alphabet are presented so a child may not only feel Helen's name in script but touch the letters that make up his own name. I Am Helen Keller is an excellent introduction to a revolutionary woman.

I was thinking it'd be a medium, but no, turns out it was a x-large. So here I am, sitting with the cheapest x-large pizza known to mankind.
Here's to food for the next 2 days... always good when you are on a budget
Free foooooods.
I went to go see a friend, and we ordered pizza, and it took it's sweet time getting there. Turns out the chick who took the order fucked up the phone number, so the pizza guy had been outside but couldn't call her. So we called after getting sick of waiting, they said what had happened, and we were kinda hungry so they sent a new order, and we only had to pay half, so the 2 for 1 turned into two for a half. That was fun to say. Two for a half. Twoo for a haalf. Okay. Gnite.
Edit: also i was gonna make spaghetti but now i want pizza. fuck u guys.
edit2: also i know lady who always orders a large veggie pizza with pepperoni, bacon and ham.

I used to do that when I lived in the UK, because the other pizzas had shitty toppings. Veggie pizza with extra chicken and pepperoni. Lulz.

I guess they just don't know how to do toppings there.
Another place where they had weird pizza was in Praha.
The pizza in question had won some awards and stuff, so I thought hey what the hell. It had some weird beef that was made like serrano ham, and fucking truffles. It had some melted mozarella. Oh and ruccola too.
I wouldn't recommend it. But I'd definitely eat it if you were to put it in front of me right now.
The best pizza I've had in a while over here is this one:

Their garlic calzones are also friggin' amazing.
Fish on pizza? Go fuck yourself.
If you're not gonna take this seriusly, then I certainly won't.
I dunno man, I love all of those things - but on pizza? You fucking disgust me.

Smoked salmon on pizza is amazing!
There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,
Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.
I suppose the intelligent thing to do is reserve judgement until I've actually tried it, but I just feel like those things wouldn't taste right together on a pizza.
It's fucking amazing, I promise you. They do it just right.
Everyone but Hal can fuck right off
