A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF THE YEAR • NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER • From one of our most iconic and influential writers, the award-winning author of The Year of Magical Thinking: a timeless collection of mostly early pieces that reveal what would become Joan Didion's subjects, including the press, politics, California robber barons, women, and her own self-doubt.
These twelve pieces from 1968 to 2000, never before gathered together, offer an illuminating glimpse into the mind and process of a legendary figure. They showcase Joan Didion's incisive reporting, her empathetic gaze, and her role as "an articulate witness to the most stubborn and intractable truths of our time" (The New York Times Book Review).
Here, Didion touches on topics ranging from newspapers ("the problem is not so much whether one trusts the news as to whether one finds it"), to the fantasy of San Simeon, to not getting into Stanford. In "Why I Write," Didion ponders the act of writing: "I write entirely to find out what I'm thinking, what I'm looking at, what I see and what it means." From her admiration for Hemingway's sentences to her acknowledgment that Martha Stewart's story is one "that has historically encouraged women in this country, even as it has threatened men," these essays are acutely and brilliantly observed. Each piece is classic Didion: incisive, bemused, and stunningly prescient.

About the Author-
JOAN DIDION is the author of five novels and ten books of nonfiction, including The Year of Magical Thinking and Blue Nights. Born in Sacramento, California, Didion lived in New York City. She died in 2021.
Reviews-
A dozen pieces of nonfiction from the acclaimed novelist, memoirist, and screenwriter. In an appreciative introduction, New Yorker theater critic Hilton Als praises Didion as "a carver of words in the granite of the specific." Stylistic precision ("Grammar is a piano I play by ear," she writes) and the "energy and shimmer" of her prose are fully evident in this volume of previously uncollected pieces, written from 1968 to 2000. Although Didion portrays herself as a diffident, unconfident writer as a college student, she learned "a kind of ease with words" when working at Vogue, where she was assigned to write punchy, concise copy. The experience, she recalls, was "not unlike training with the Rockettes." Several pieces were originally published in magazines, and two were introductions: one, to a volume of photography by Robert Mapplethorpe; another, to a memoir by director--and Didion's friend--Tony Richardson. All reveal the author's shrewd, acerbic critical eye. In "Getting Serenity," she reports on a meeting of Gamblers Anonymous, where, she notes sardonically, one woman "adapted her mode of public address from analgesic commercials." William Randolph Hearst's "phantasmagoric barony," San Simeon, "seemed to confirm the boundless promise of the place we lived," but, she decided, was best admired from afar, like a fairy-tale castle, "floating fantastically." Didion's rejection from Stanford elicited an essay about college as consumption, and her skewering of consumption and artifice recur as themes--for example, in her observation of the ways women stage themselves for portrait photographs. Several particularly revealing essays focus on writing: "I write entirely to find out what I'm thinking," she famously admitted, a statement often misattributed to others. Writing, for her, is "the act of saying I, of imposing oneself upon other people, of saying listen to me, see it my way, change your mind. It's an aggressive, even a hostile act." As these pieces show, it's also an accomplished act of seduction. A slender, highly satisfying collection.

This wide-ranging essay collection from Didion (South and West: From a Notebook) showcases her strengths as a short form writer. Organized chronologically from 1968 to 2000, the pieces trace Didion's development as an essayist and offer glimpses of late-20th-century social history. In 1968's "Alicia and the Underground Press," Didion writes of "tabloid-sized papers that respect the special interests of the young and the disaffiliated," praising their ability to speak directly to their readers; "The Long-Distance Runner," from 1993, is an ode to filmmaker Tony Richardson: "I never knew anyone who so loved to make things," she writes; and "Everywoman.com," from 2000, examines the "cultural meaning of Martha Stewart's success" and the way she "branded herself not as Superwoman but as Everywoman." As always, the writing is captivating—in the early "Getting Serenity," she writes about attending a Gamblers Anonymous meeting ("I got out fast then, before anyone could say 'serenity' again, for it is a word I associate with death") and finds just the right details to nail down the feeling of a bygone era—for example, the mix of "plastic hydrangeas" and cigarette smoke at the GA meeting. Didion fans new and old will be delighted.
In a 1968 essay contrasting mainstream media with the underground press, Didion writes, "I admire objectivity very much indeed, but I fail to see how it can be achieved if the reader does not understand the writer's particular bias." That's Didion in an essence, elegantly dismantling assumptions and stating discomfiting truths. In "Why I Write," another of the dozen arresting, mind-tuning, previously uncollected essays in this exhilarating and instructive gathering spanning several decades, she states that writing is "an aggressive, even a hostile act." It is also a voyage of discovery for Didion, conducted via meticulous observation and assiduous questioning of what she thinks and how her investigations make her feel. We see this at work in her responses to a reunion of the WWII 101st Airborne Division during the Vietnam War and a photo shoot with Nancy Reagan, and in profiles of Robert Mapplethorpe and Martha Stewart. Didion is both porous and steely, self-deprecating and in command. With a perceptive foreword by Hilton Als, who discerns the "uncanny" in Didion's exacting work, this an illuminating and inspiring addition to the influential Didion canon.
COPYRIGHT(2020) Booklist, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
Didion's latest book of essays is engrossing, memorable, and delightful. The pieces are not new, but newly collected, dating between 1968 and 2000, though they are remarkably consistent and relevant throughout. Subjects vary widely, from the posthumous publication of Ernest Hemingway's works and the complicated business personality of Martha Stewart, to visiting the Hearst Castle in San Simeon and attending photo shoots for Vogue. All are written with sincerity and with Didion's powerful sense of astute observation, as she describes her influences, worries, and occasionally fears. Readers can judge for themselves their own standout essay from the collection, but surely "Why I Write" will be a strong contender. Several pieces in this volume attend to the craft and purpose of writing, and in this one especially Didion candidly shows her devotion to writing and explains her own place and purpose as a writer. VERDICT This volume could be read in one sitting or one vignette at a time, as Didion's perceptive voice connects the essays beautifully, but each one can stand equally well on its own terms. For both fans of Didion and those new to her work entirely, this collection is an essential investment.--Sarah Schroeder, Univ. of Washington Bothell

Fish farms: private gains, public costs
Morning File, Thursday, February 20, 2020
by Philip Moscovitch February 20, 2020 January 4, 2023
1. Province: Sipekne'katik First Nation should blame itself for lack of consultation

Jennifer Henderson was in court yesterday, covering the hearing on whether or not the province fulfilled its duty to consult on the Alton Gas project. The project would see gas stored in salt caverns, with brine from the caverns flushed out into the Shubenacadie River.
Henderson writes:
A lawyer for the Province of Nova Scotia says the Sipekne'katik First Nation has no one but itself to blame when it argues there was "inadequate consultation" with the government over the Alton Gas decision…
"The alleged failure of consultations are the result of its own conduct during that time period," Foreman told the court. "The First Nation may oppose the project but it cannot strategically frustrate the process of consultation."

2. More court: Santina Rao appears
Santina Rao appeared in court yesterday to face charges stemming from her violent arrest at Walmart last month. She is charged with causing a disturbance, resisting arrest, and assault causing bodily harm to an officer.
Rao, you may recall, was still in the store when she was accused of shoplifting. Security called the police.
In the Chronicle Herald, Andrew Rankin writes:
Rao and other members of the African Nova Scotian community are accusing the police of racially profiling her and using excessive force. Rao, who showed up to court wearing a cast on her arm, said she suffered serious injuries, including a broken wrist and concussion during her arrest…
Her lawyer Gordon Allen believes the altercation at Walmart ought to have never happened. He said his client ended up being cornered and needlessly humiliated by five adults: two police men, a security officer, and two Walmart employees. At the time of the confrontation Rao had already purchased around $80 worth of merchandise and was intending to pay for a couple of produce items stored in an open carriage of her son's stroller.
"There are a lot of moving parts to this," said Allen. "This is the first step in dealing with this and it's about Santina. We want to make sure something good comes out of this at the end of the day. This is something that should never have happened, a situation where there should never have been a situation."
The case has been postponed until May 12, following a review by the Serious Incident Response Team, which investigates potential misconduct by police forces.
At CBC, Haley Ryan tried to get comment from Walmart, to no avail:
A manager at the Mumford Road Walmart declined an interview in January and said he couldn't comment since it was a police investigation. He referred questions to the company's headquarters in Ontario. A statement from Felicia Feder, manager of Walmart Canada's corporate affairs, said all inquires would have to be directed to police.
Rao said no one from Walmart has reached out to her personally.
3. CFL game organizers want $200,000 from the city plus another $100,000 from the province

The CFL is playing a regular season game in Halifax in late July and — surprise! — is looking for financial help from the city and province to do it.
The league decided to play a game in the 3,500-seat stadium at SMU, but now wants money to upgrade the place to 10,000 seats.
At CBC, Pam Berman writes:
"It's more than just building seats there, you have to build food and beverage outlets, you have to put in porta-potties and fencing," said Duane Vienneau. "We're really building a stadium out."
Vienneau told the committee that total stadium costs are expected to be $400,000 and the CFL is not trying to make a profit, but just break even and maintain reasonable ticket prices. He also said the CFL plans to make this an annual event over three years, but will not be asking for a grant for the next two games.
Any freelancer who has ever negotiated with a client is familiar with the "not looking to make a profit" routine.
Vienneau, who is the CFL's "Chief Grey Cup & Events Officer" says the league will also be asking the province for $100,000.
Hands up if you believe the claim that they're not going to ask for more money next year, or the year after that.
Over on Twitter former high school football player Mike Tanner expressed what I suspect quite a few people in Halifax feel.
Tanner wrote a great blog post a couple of years ago about why he does not want his kid playing football, once his favourite sport.
Also, I know you should never read the comments, but I enjoyed the one on Pam Berman's story that said if Nova Scotia gets a football team "you could help Alberta like you more." I can't tell what's satire and what isn't anymore.
4. Driver charged in collision that killed pedestrian
An appalling number of pedestrians are hit in marked crosswalks. Would rumble strips help?
The pedestrian who was struck in Clayton Park on Tuesday had died. From a police release:
Police have charged a man in relation to a fatal vehicle/pedestrian collision that occurred yesterday in Halifax.
At approximately 1:20 p.m. police responded to vehicle/pedestrian collision at the intersection of Dunbrack Street and Clayton Park Drive. The pedestrian was crossing Dunbrack Street in a marked crosswalk when she was struck by a pick-up truck. The pedestrian, a 74-year-old Halifax woman, was taken to hospital where she succumbed to her injuries.
The driver of the vehicle, an 83-year-old man from Halifax, has been charged with failing to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk.
Writing in the Nova Scotia Advocate yesterday, Martyn Williams lays out the case for better road design. All the Heads Up/Slow Down/Make Eye Contact campaigns in the world won't help if road design is not conducive to people crossing safely. Williams explains with an in-depth look at one intersection, Clayton Park Drive and Dunbrack, and then suggests ways it could be designed to be safer. Then he says:
This might all seem unnecessarily technical. Why can't drivers just slow down, and pedestrians take more care? This is what we have mainly been saying and promoting in Halifax for decades – pedestrians/drivers just need to do x,y and z. A blame game happens after each and every incident ("why do pedestrians always step out in front of me?", etc) and mainly we are satisfied that the cause is careless or dangerous behaviour by one or both parties. Yet nothing actually changes.
The reason why so many of us are hit on crosswalks here (accounting usually for around 60 to 70% of incidents) is because they invite too many errors by all road users. I can start crossing comfortably in lane one, then get in trouble when unexpected things happen in lane 3, 4 or 5. The more traffic movements there are from different directions and lanes, the easier it is for us all to make a mistake and the more likely it is that an incident will happen.
5. Scooters

Last week, Tim wrote about a story in The Logic on Max Rastelli (the Segway guy) and his e-scooter business, which is being bankrolled by Segway. The story is called "The Halifax e-scooter business that's not waiting for regulations."
From The Logic:
The business is small, but thriving. Rastelli said he turned a profit within four months of launching, thanks to Segway covering most of his capital costs, and he plans to double or triple his fleet this spring. "There's money to be made," said Rastelli. "It's solving a problem and it's fun as hell."
If someone else covers your capital costs, your business will probably thrive.
Anyway, I was surprised to read that Rastelli drives around Halifax picking up his scooters, because this is not how he said the business would work when he launched it last year.
Back in August, I wrote about Rastelli's scooter business and its approach for the Examiner:
In many cities, the scooters have caused a backlash, with complaints that riders go too fast, dockless scooters are left to pile up and block sidewalks, in addition to being an eyesore, and that they lead to injuries. I've watched with interest online as people vehemently express their hatred of these things. (In many cases the injuries to scooter-riders come from being hit by cars or trucks, in which case banning the scooters seems like a bit of victim-blaming. I know, I know, some will argue that the way they ride these victims deserve to be blamed, etc.)
I quoted Andrew Rankin from the Chronicle Herald:
Then there's the problem of scooter littering. In some places renters are permitted to leave their scooter rental wherever they like, for the next person to grab. That's shown to be a problem in some places, resulting in a pileup of scooters on sidewalks, for example.
It's an issue Rastelli and regulators need to confront because eventually he wants customers to simply leave their rental wherever convenient for them. For now, they must return the scooters where they found them. He's also hoping to expand the service to the Dalhousie University campus this fall.
So, last summer, Rastelli was saying the scooters had to be docked, but eventually would go dockless. Now, he seems to be saying people can just drop them wherever.
Yesterday, Montreal announced that its brief experiment with e-scooters is ending. According to a CBC story:
Montreal will ban shared, dockless e-scooters in the city for 2020.
The announcement was made at Wednesday's executive committee meeting by Coun. Éric Alan Caldwell, citing mass noncompliance with the city's rules for the vehicles.
"Our rules were not respected and the operators did not ensure they were respected," Caldwell said.
Caldwell said that while e-scooters can have a place in cities such as Montreal, they must not come at the expense of impeding other modes of transportation in the city. "And that's what happened last year," he concluded.
"That's why, in 2020, there will be no e-scooters in the streets of Montreal."
Caldwell noted that 80 percent of scooters were dumped on the streets and not parked at the 410 designated spots across the city.
Halifax, of course, will be different.
6. Owls Head sale on hold

Michael Gorman writes that the potential buyers of the now delisted Owls Head Provincial Park reserve have "hit pause on the plan."
We hope you're enjoying our work. If you'd like to support us with a recurring subscription, please click this button. We really appreciate it.
Gorman says CBC News received a statement from the couple, Beckwith and Kitty Gilbert, via their lawyer, saying they are stepping back. Is this because people hate their plan? Or is it a negotiating tactic? Gorman writes:
The statement goes on to say the golf course proposal was intended to "preserve the natural beauty of Little Harbour, including the magnificent seaside, rugged coastline, white sandy beaches, and breath-taking seaside views. They planned to preserve the lands and provide greater public access to enjoy the natural beauty of Nova Scotia's Eastern Shore."
What isn't clear from the statement is whether the Gilberts are completely abandoning their attempt to buy the Crown land or if they're simply pressing pause on the plan for a golf development should they successfully fulfil the requirements of their letter of offer with the provincial government. The couple's lawyer said they would be making no further comment at this time.
Former provincial park planner Chris Trider has planned a rally for Thursday outside the legislature to protest the potential sale. He tells Gorman:
"That announcement doesn't change the sequence of events that have unfolded where the cabinet of the McNeil government met in secret to remove Owls Head from the list of protected properties area from the parks and protected areas plan and entered into a purchase and sale agreement," Trider said.
"I'll take any good news I can get on this particular issue, but it doesn't change the facts of the situation."
1. Who pays the true cost of open-pen fish farms?

Over at Halifax Magazine, editor Trevor Adams has recently been re-sharing a 2019 piece by Zack Metcalfe on how we all pay for industries that externalize their costs. You don't have to worry about waste when you site open-pen fish farms, for example, because the ocean will just do your work for you. Never mind that the results can be ecologically damaging. Metcalfe writes:
These pens, filled with salmon or trout, don't need regular cleaning, nor do their waters need refreshing. All their water comes from the ocean in which they float, and the workings of the ocean take away their mountains of manure, wasted food, pesticides, and antibiotics, spreading them throughout our bays and coastlines, or collecting them in mounds below that no one is obligated to clean up, in spite of innumerable concerns for the health of people, fish, and local ecology.
We're going to hear a lot more about open-pen fish farming in the next few weeks and months, because industry giant CERMAQ is looking to potentially site hundreds of pens in Nova Scotia bays, including St. Margaret's Bay, where I live. Look for Linda Pannozzo to be covering this for the Examiner.
When I was researching my book, Adventures in Bubbles and Brine, I was struck by one of the non-fermentation-related things that Boxing Rock brewery co-owner Emily Tipton said, speaking about the challenges of rural economic development. Tipton is an engineer by training. Before opening Boxing Rock she worked in the oil industry and, after moving to Shelburne, did contract work for the municipality on economic development. Here's what she told me:
Everyone's looking for a quick fix to get them through. There's no quick fix. Years ago, Cooke aquaculture was going to move to Shelburne and open this giant salmon processing plant and have all these fish pens and they were going to create, I can't remember, 200 jobs, 400 jobs whatever. So half the community really wanted it and half the community really didn't and the government gave them a bunch of money.
You know it's just a complete disaster because the people who are making jobs 400 at a time are coming here not to give to it, not to build, not to invest in it. They're trying to make money off it. They're thinking, "This is the cheapest place that we can process this fish. Let's do it here. And the government's going to give us money. Let's do that."
Whereas craft breweries are an example of a much more organic approach to rural economic development. I think real economic development happens by creating 10 jobs at a time not 400. Because we're not going anywhere. Even if I wanted to, I'm stuck here. If you had 20 businesses like that, that each created 10 jobs, that's way better because you're way more resilient, if one of them doesn't work. Whereas when the Cooke Aquaculture thing didn't work out? That's a giant gaping hole. We all got our hopes up and then nothing happened.
2. Stephen Archibald visits the convention centre
The big hall, which Archibald notes is "really BIG." Photo: Stephen Archibald
The convention centre held an open house last weekend, and Stephen Archibald and his wife, Sheila, dropped by to visit "the big blue shard."
Archibald usually finds much to appreciate wherever he goes, but his adjectives leave the impression he's somewhat underwhelmed. Words like "mammoth," "clean," and "neutral."
I was at the convention centre last week. I've been inside very briefly before (to use the washroom) but this time I was stopping by the Innovative Gear Summit organized by DFO, to talk to people for a story I'm writing. My view of the interior was slightly less charitable than Archibald's.
All the atmosphere of a dying mall? Photo: Philip Moscovitch
I thought it already feels like a dying mall.
Anyway, Archibald being Archibald, he does get a bunch of fun, interesting, and entertaining stuff out of his visit, particularly when he ponders the view and serves as a guide to the surroundings both as they are now and as they used to be.

Frank magazine was quick enough to catch a Facebook post by Ms Rao where she claimed " I scratched the f..k out of his face" re a police officer.
Correction : the word was ' clawed' not 'scratched'
Andrew Munro says:
It's really disgraceful and sad to see the number of accidents involving pedestrians. Usually they are the fault of inattentive, or just plain bad drivers.
One thing I notice all over the city though, is that often in marked crosswalks, the place where someone waits to cross the street is located behind a utility pole from the perspective of cars in the near lane. This surely doesn't help the situation. Many crosswalks get it wrong on both sides of the street. Halifax has a lot of utility poles along the streets and more thought needs to be given to designing crosswalks with better visibility in mind.
An hour ago I was passing the post office on Almon St. A line of cars was stopped as someone was waiting to turn into the Forum and I counted five out of eight drivers looking down at their phones, including two postal vans and a taxi. This is no doubt the biggest danger on the roads.
Parker Donham says:
With apologies to Ambrose Bierce, It seems you could define Halifax progressivism as, "the nagging suspicion that somewhere in Nova Scotia, someone is making a profit."
A tiny industry has sprung up in Halifax renting scooters to people eager to use them, and ABSOLUTELY NO REGULATIONS ARE IN PLACE!
Why has the COMINTERN not met to address this crisis? Are the Commissars asleep? We need rules, regulations, inspectors, fines, geographical zones, public consultations! People can't just start up a business offering something useful to the public. That's a sure path to anarchy.

Halifax leads the nation in excessive, unnecessary regulation. We have a reputation to uphold. We must be vigilant against backsliding!

Reader Serge A. Storms recommended a little hole-in-the-wall restaurant a while back on another blog, and I'd been meaning to try it for a while. Still, it took me a couple of months before I found myself darkening the door of the New Green Mill Cafe on Markham.
Part of it was the location -- tucked back behind a Shipley's Donuts and next to a uniform store, I'd overlooked it. Yet here it was, a little eatery less than a mile from my home, full of promise and comfort food.
I found myself searching for sustenance with my traveling companion, and we decided to try out the recommendation. We turned in and entered.
Right away I felt as if I'd walked into someone's dining room. The decor is somewhere between a small diner and your elementary school friend's dad's garage, complete with old dining room tables and chairs and trophy fish on the walls. Photos and calendars and posters huddle together under lazy ceiling fans.
We were instantly greeted by a gentleman who asked us what we were hungry for. Sensing our newness, he ran through the available choices for the day -- fried chicken breast, chicken fried steak, spaghetti with meat sauce (as a side or an entree), meatloaf, and sides of green beans, white beans, turnip greens, mashed potatoes, and white and brown gravy. A lovely woman asked us while we were being served up our meals what sort of bread we'd like -- corn, white, or wheat. We were told to sit wherever we liked -- but if we sat at the big table we'd probably have to share.
We took our plates and seats next to a refrigerator on the north wall, and our waitress brought us white bread on a plate and served us up some iced tea. Tea is your choice here -- sweet, unsweet, or water -- and soda isn't an option -- reinforcing the notion of being in someone's dining room or kitchen.
Comfort food was what I was craving -- and it's exactly what I got -- in the form of savory meatloaf and mashed potatoes with a soft brown gravy, white beans (without meat!) and the aforementioned white bread. The meatloaf was just what I expected from someone's mom -- not too spicy, not too bland, and certainly not someone's high-falootin' experiment.
My traveling companion had gone for the fried chicken, and got a good pan-fried example along with green beans and mashed potatoes with white beans. The potatoes were obviously from a box, but that was okay, too -- and with white bread seemed a really good example of dinner at a friend's house.
Our kind host brought out a plate with a couple of pickled figs on it for us to try. They reminded me of fall, or my grandmother's mincemeat, delicious and a perfect apertif.
There's a different special every day at the New Green Mill Cafe -- and we've decided we have to go back and try out the catfish and lasagna Fridays. Desserts are offered -- but without them, meals are five or six dollars, including tax. That's right -- we got a good home-cooked meal for $10 on the dot. And it was mighty fine.
You'll find the New Green Mill Cafe at 8609 West Markham. It's open for lunch -- and most of the folks you'll meet there are regulars who call each other by nicknames like "Conway" and "Hoot." If you feel you must call ahead, try (501) 225-9907. And go hungry.
Yes, this is one of my favorite places for that need for comfort food. I really like the chicken fried steak.

ST CATHERINE, Jamaica — One man was shot dead while three others were injured in an attack during a football game in Gregory Park, St Catherine yesterday.
He is Jevaughn Hudson also known as "John John" of a Portmore address.
Reports from the Portmore police are that the four men were among others playing on the field about 6:00 pm, when three men emerged from a motor vehicle and opened gunfire, hitting them.
The police were summoned and the wounded men were taken to hospital where Hudson was pronounced dead.

In fact, the CEO repeatedly rips him off to the point he becomes so desperate that Derrick risks his father's business and real estate, a Christmas tree lot, losing it the greedy record label boss. He has to call upon his friends to make things right.

Many of our customers have said that they could hear their heart beating when they first sat behind the wheel of these famous Supercars. Trying to describe what it's like to drive a Ferrari or Porsche is impossible. We could wax lyrical about the individual styling, the smell of hide or the crisp wail of their Powerful engines but it wouldn't begin to do it justice. Enough said. Like any first they always remember when it happened, where they were and who bought it for them.

Hello everyone, my name is Josh S. and I'm a junior at King George High School in Virginia. For the past two years I have been a part of Y Street to help my school become a better and healthier part of my community. Y Street has given me tremendous opportunity to connect with my fellow students and the community of King George, and it goes to show that when you want to help your school, everyone is on board. Y Street is run by us, the students, with help from our advisor, Mrs. Strauss. We work together to hold events, meetings, trainings, and so much more!
Last year, Y-Sters at King George High School spoke to our school board to change our tobacco policy to be 100% comprehensive. This year, we held events at the King George Fall Festival as well as at sports and community events held at the school. At these events, we talked to people about our campaigns and gathered important data to help our school. Yes, this is nerve-racking, but it is a great way for us to come out of our shells and become fearless. Plus we have a card to help us talk about the event if we go off topic.
Right now, Y-Sters at KGHS are looking towards bringing more accessible food to our high school. Great Starts with Breakfast is a very important campaign for our students. Every student should be provided with breakfast so they can have high energy throughout the day. We will need to present the data we gather from our events to our Nutritional Director so we can get the ball rolling. Our Great Starts With Breakfast lunch event was a hit with all the students at King George High School. We went to lunch tables, talking to students about the importance of eating a healthy breakfast. We also had students take surveys to be able to spin a prize wheel and get one of our many GSWB swag items.
We also spread the word about drinking healthily. Rev Your Bev was held on May 25, 2018 in schools across Virginia. For King George, as soon as lunch started, people were coming to our table wanting to know what we were up to; it was safe to say that everyone had a blast. We had water set out for people to drink and as students were filling out surveys, Y-Sters talked to them about the importance of drinking water. Students took water surveys to find their favorite water flavors. In the simplest words, King George loved it.
Y Street is bringing students together not only in their local communities but around the entire Commonwealth to lead Virginia to a healthier tomorrow. Y Street is not only an "activist club," but a club where we learn life lessons about voicing our opinions for the betterment of our communities. Furthermore, it has taught us responsibility, dedication, persistence, and leadership skills. This organization has not only brought students together but has bonded us as friends and team members working towards a common goal. We are always learning from the organization and the students that we work with, and I personally recommend Y Street to every student. This organization will help you grow as a person and will teach you life skills that everyone should know. Y Street is still growing within King George and we can't wait to see what else it has in store for our school and the students within it.


The use of a foam roller is also a skill, and it's one that you can pass on to your clients. As I say in the video, a lot of your most athletic clients (your triathletes, for examples), will already have one of these things… and they'll probably be using it to abuse their already painful legs. They'll be digging in to their vastus lateralus in a vain attempt to lengthen a painful IT band, when really all they need is some work in their hips. We can help point them in the right direction!
What do you think of foam rolling? Have you tried it in the past, but found it too painful? Do you think that you could alter it to make it a nice, easy steam-rolling experience?
Also, what do you think about recommending self-massage for your clients? Is that something that you feel comfortable doing? For those who do, have your clients found it useful?
Much love to my 64 Patreon supporters, and to every active member of this community. More fun stuff is coming!
I'm curious about rollers. You mentioned using one that's not so firm…how do you know what to buy? It seems that most of them on Amazon say extra-firm.

After almost 40 years, The Doors are big as ever
April 12, 2006, 5:53 PM UTC / Source: Billboard
In his book "Riders on the Storm," Doors drummer John Densmore writes, "As long as there's young people, they can look to Jim to help them cut the umbilical chord."
But even Densmore is surprised that the Los Angeles band and its iconic leader, Jim Morrison, who died in 1971, have such potent appeal to recent generations. After all, it has been almost 40 years since Elektra released the quartet's first album in January 1967.
"I'm astounded," he says. "There must be some magic that was captured in a garage in Venice (Calif.)
"We've had our disputes," Densmore says of his well-publicized differences with fellow surviving Doors Ray Manzarek and Robby Krieger, "but I'm honored that whatever came through us, that was bigger than us. If each generation seems to glean some inspiration from that, I'm available."
Densmore and his bandmates will have many demands on their time over the next few years as their management team rolls out a 40th anniversary campaign with the intention to appeal to fans old and new.
"We're not trying to remake them or spin the Doors, just expose them to the next generation," Doors manager Jeff Jampol says. He has partnered with the Firm, which represents the Doors for licensing and assists in other management issues.
The Doors' appeal to younger generations could be due to the band being frozen in its prime, says the Firm's Jeff Rabhan.
Jake Johnson and Damon Wayans Jr. on the "Let's Be Cops," red carpet, Selena Gomez is immortalized in wax and more.
"(The Doors) were not able to grow old in front of the eyes of the world like the Stones (or) the Who. The Doors that people know are forever young, and the image of Morrison is that of young rock god," he says. "With that image in hand, and the legacy being what it is, our entire outreach is simple exposure and basic education as the history will sell itself."
That means spreading word to the younger market through remixes, videogames, high-end clothing and online and mobile platforms. Meanwhile, the older, existing audience will be targeted through coffee-table books, boxed sets featuring 5.1 surround-sound versions of the group's first six studio albums and more.
An interactive experience in Las Vegas, a touring memorabilia attraction and a filmed documentary are intended to appeal to all fans.
Naturally, a rollout of the Doors' studio albums also plays into the birthday plans. By September, Rhino/Elektra will delete the existing Doors' catalog to make way for a 12-disc boxed set, priced at $149.98. The fall release will include the Doors' first six studio albums remastered with bonus tracks and paired with six DVDs featuring 5.1 remixes of the studio albums and bonus material. There will also be a vinyl boxed set of the first six albums.
In January 2007, the studio albums will individually come out as double discs with the remastered original and the 5.1 DVD version.
As early as May, a deal with merchandise services company Music Today will allow Doors fans to go to the band's Web site and create their own virtual boxed sets, selecting from previously unreleased live tunes.
The Doors' catalog has already been licensed for mobile downloads, ringtones and ringbacks.
The Doors' merchandise business is already soaring. Dell Furano, CEO of merchandise company Signatures Network, says sales have boomed since the introduction of new lines over the last few years. "In 2005, we probably sold close to $8 million in Doors shirts and apparel at retail. It was $2 million in 2003."
Furano says the Doors are at the top of the merchandise heap alongside such acts as the Beatles and Led Zeppelin.
It has not hurt that celebrities like Paris Hilton and Jessica Simpson have been photographed wearing Doors merchandise. "The amount of shirts we're selling to preteens and teenagers is staggering," Furano says.
Hilton and friends are likely buying from a high-end Doors line developed two years ago by Trunk Ltd. in partnership with Signatures. The line is sold through stores like Fred Segal, Barney's, Kitson and Nordstrom.
"The first piece, the Jim Morrison Lizard King image on one of our classic shirts, became one of our top sellers overnight," Trunk Ltd. founder and creative director Brad Beckerman says. He says teens respond to Morrison's "irreverence."
Signatures will launch another high-end line, 5:1, this fall. Last year, Signatures introduced a mainstream line, Love Street, which is carried in stores like Target, Wal-Mart and Hot Topic.
Furano expects the 40th anniversary activities to lift merchandise sales at least another 25 percent and has several new items planned.
For the 40th, Trunk designed a limited edition T-shirt featuring Blondie's Deborah Harry and Morrison, touting the new Blondie vs. the Doors mash-up "Rapture/Riders." The tune is featured on Blondie's new EMI greatest hits set.
But wait, there's more.
The Doors are planning an interactive attraction that will open in Las Vegas in 2008. Jampol says video director Jake Nava, who is working on the project, describes it as "a one-hour acid trip, but you don't come down."
"You won't see the Rockettes kicking their legs up in this show, I can assure you," Rabhan adds, noting management is in talks with several casinos to house the show. Sponsors, who "understand the deep-rooted, philosophical beliefs of this band toward the world" are being targeted.
There will also be a traveling Doors memorabilia museum and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum will feature the Doors in a major, yearlong exhibit starting April 2007. (The group was inducted into the Hall in 1993.)
A slate of coffee-table books will accompany the 40th anniversary, including "The Doors by the Doors with Ben Fong-Torres," out in November; and "Jim Morrison: Treasures," by Rock Hall curator Jim Henke, due in 2007.
A Doors documentary directed by two-time Academy Award winner Bill Guttentag will hit theaters by year's end. The film includes new interviews with the band and Morrison's family.
There are also plans to develop a multinight TV special for summer 2007 called "Six Nights, Six Years, Six Records." Each night will highlight a Doors studio album.
While the remaining members have had their spats — Densmore and the Morrison estate won a 2003 lawsuit that prohibits Manzarek and Krieger from using the Doors name while touring ("The Doors are Ray, Robbie, Jim and John," Densmore says) — they all plan to promote the new projects, although it remains to be seen if they'll do so together.
"The three of them are bonded brothers," Jampol says. "They've had disagreements over a side issue, they're trying to sort that out ... (but) they've never let it stand in the way of letting the legacy move forward."

Q: JxBrowser freezes whole application
i embedded jxBrowser to my java (Swing) Application. When an error occurs this freezes my entire application ;(
Is there a way to part the JxBrowser error so that I can continue to work normally in my application?
Best regards,
Pirol

A: It's hard to say why some error causes entire application freezing. An example or steps to reproduce would help in resolving this issue. You could try checking the dump of Java threads when freezing happens. Maybe an error causes threads deadlock?

I help small business owners turn their web presence into profit using internet marketing to affordably build their business and increase their bottom line.
Wanted to ask what you're using to do the scheduling. Are you using the Facebook build in feature or an external tool? If you're using something else might I suggest you try – http://massplanner.com/ it does the scheduling very easy and fast and you can schedule on groups and your wall too, something you cannot do with the scheduler within facebook.
I just use the native schedulers with FB, WordPress and Twitter for now. I don't really use groups or anything but the business pages and I'd be hard pressed to pay $10 a month for anything that might just be one more tool overcomplicating things. Are you an affiliate for massplanner or do you work there? That website is amazing! Thanks for the comment.

The new Star Trek series will be produced exclusively for CBS All Access, a subscription streaming service. The show doesn't currently have a title, but Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Voyager writer Bryan Fuller will be an executive producer and the showrunner. Outside of Trek, Fuller created Pushing Daisies, Wonderfalls, and the latest television incarnation of Hannibal. Fuller is also slated to bring Neil Gaiman's American Gods to TV for STARZ.

While there are no cast members currently in place, CBS and Fuller have made a number of moves that appear to be designed to win fans over. Star Trek II and Star Trek VI director Nicholas Meyer has signed on to the new show as a writer and a consulting producer. Rod Roddenberry, the son of Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry also signed on as an executive producer.
The new Star Trek series will debut on CBS in early 2017, before it becomes a CBS All Access exclusive.
