Advanced Whitewater Kayaking River Feature Terminology
Know How to Identify Different Whitewater River Features
A whitewater paddler's knowledge of whitewater kayaking river features obviously should not stop at the basic whitewater river features terms. Within every feature, there are varying degrees and nuances that distinguish between even features of the same type. This is a list of those more advanced terms that are used to describe whitewater kayaking river features.
Whitewater Ripples or Riffles
Guide books and scouting reports will often refer to ripples or riffles to describe a section of the river. Ripples are exactly what they sound like, small patterns like disturbances in the water. Riffles, while a little less descript, they refer to a very similar thing. Riffles are like mini waves or a section of choppy water. Riffles and ripples generally refer to Class II stretches of whitewater.
Boogie Water
If a paddler uses the term boogie water they are referring to a continuous section of whitewater with lots of waves and holes. This is more than just a wave train. Expect no break in the action for a distance of at least a hundred yards, but generally for a much longer distance.
Eddy Line
While eddys were covered in the basic whitewater features to know, eddy lines were not. An eddy line is the area of river in-between an eddy and the flowing part of the river. The river is flowing in one direction and the eddy is flowing in the other direction. Where these two opposing currents meet next to each other they form an eddy line. Eddy lines are "squirly" sections to cross in and out of.
Whirlpools are whitewater river features that can form in eddy lines. As the opposing flows of water flow next to each other they can create a spinning effect that forms a whirlpool. Whirlpools look like a spiral in the water that can suck paddlers and boats down into the water.
Horizon Line
As a paddler approaches a drop they usually can't see the river below. This makes the drop itself look like a line going across the river. This is called a horizon line. A kayaker, canoeist, or rafter should never paddle over a horizon line without knowing what is on the other side of it. While nearly all river features can be dangerous, this list of whitewater river features is particularly dangerous.
Rooster tail
A rooster tail refers to a narrow section or line of water in a wave that shoots up or curls up out of the wave. It looks like a rooster tail. Rooster tails usually indicate that there is an extra disturbance under the water, usually near the surface, that is causing this additional feature.
The tongue of a wave is the part of the face of a wave where the water seems to flow best. Waves are not always smooth. They often are crashing at their peaks and toward their sides. The tongue can be where the two sides of a wave come together near the center of the wave or it can be the smoothest part of the wave. Whatever characteristic the tongue has for a specific wave it will be the smoothest most direct way for a paddler to get through the wave.
A slot is a term that whitewater kayakers will use to refer to a narrow section between two boulders or between a boulder or the bank of the river. Slots are often only a couple of boat widths wide if that.
A chute is like a slot, except it generally is used to describe a slot that leads into a drop. Chutes can have holes or waves at the other side.
Pool-drop
This phrase can be misleading. The word "pool" is before "drop," leading one to believe that this is the order in which the river features will be encountered. However when a whitewater paddler uses the phrase pool-drop, they are referring to a drop that falls into a pool. This is significant, as whitewater kayakers and canoeists want to know if they will have recovery time upon surfacing from a drop, should they flip over or be off balance.
A pillow of water is a spot on the river that rises up above the surface of the river and sheds water radially in all directions.
Undercut or Pinning Rock
An undercut describes any feature on a river where a boater can get caught under. Undercuts are usually found in gorges where the river flows along a rock wall.
A strainer in whitewater refers to an obstruction in the water, usually a collection of debris or tree branches, where the river is constricted while flowing through it. Strainers strain the river from things that are floating or submerged in it, including swimmers. Stay away from strainers.

Q: Repeating Citations in footnotes and normal footnotes separated using biblatex I want to build up my desired citation style, using biblatex with backend=biber. So I followed the advice from Audrey, Sacharja and moewe (Biblatex footcite: customizing biblatex and bibliography style). Which gives the following output:

I like this style very much and used it from there on. But now I tried to change it a bit so now at the end of each page there will be all citations noted which were used on the site. So for example, if the references 1,2 and 3 are used on page one and on page two there are used 2,3 and 4 it should put the references 2,3, and 4 on the bottom of page 2 and not only the ones that weren't used before. I tried it with this:biblatex: is there a command analogous to \ifciteseen but within one page? but couldn't bring it to work properly.
So it possible to change the code from the first example so you can quote the references on every site and still keep the footnotes under the references?

Today, Dawes released Stories Don't End, but for Paste Dawes' story certainly began a long time ago. From the first time their album North Hills caught our ears to the time when they debuted 2011's Nothing is Wrong live from the Paste offices, it's been a thrill to follow Dawes' career.
Take a look back at these never-before-released photos of Dawes, backstage and behind-the-scenes at their June 2011 appearance on Philadelphia's WXPN. Paste photographer Doug Seymour documented Taylor Goldsmith and the band for a day, as the guys wrote setlists and signed autographs. The appearance was followed by their performance with M. Ward and Bright Eyes at the Mann Center for the Performing Arts in Philadelphia.


After graduating from Oxford University, I trained in the south west as a geriatrician and general physician.
I have worked as a consultant since 2006, previously at Addenbrooke's teaching hospital in Cambridge, and University College Hospital in London, within joint posts in geriatric and acute medicine.
I have a special interest in syncope (fainting or passing out) in the elderly, and acute (severe) geriatric (elderly) medicine.

The Landscape (Part 2/3 Series on Politics & the Markets)
SGH Wealth Management's "Read What I'm Reading" Oct. 2020 | Oct. 9th, 2020
This will mark Part 2 of our 3-Part Series on Politics and the Markets: The Update. This week we were fortunate enough to host Chief US Policy Strategist and Political Insider Greg Valliere on our podcast, NutShell. With over 40 years' experience analyzing policy & the markets, Greg is a wealth of unbiased knowledge and is frequently seen on CNN, CNBC, Fox News, & more. Below are some important findings from this discussion and the full interview can be found below:
With a massive increase in mail-in ballots, Election Day will not feel the same this year. It took some New York City districts over 6 weeks to count their mail-in ballots during the primaries and rural America may have less in resources. Trump has mentioned ballots being manipulated and if he does not go down without a fight, its entirely plausible that we could get to mid-December without knowing for certain who the next US President will be. Remember that it took all the way until December 12th for the Supreme Court to decide on our last contested election between Bush vs Gore.
Its hard to tell whether the markets are prepared for a long period of uncertainty, but if the Senate has already flipped Democratic before this point, we could now foresee heightened volatility extending through December.
Michigan, Pennsylvania & Wisconsin are all must win states for Biden and it is the female demographic that could likely dictate these electoral votes. Though Hillary Clinton broke many barriers in her run for the Presidency, she was not able to get the high voter turnout that she had expected in this key demographic.
People do vote differently with their mouths than they do with their money and bond traders have started to trade toward a Democratic sweep. That said, the numbers are still very tight, and a recently uncovered affair of the North Carolina Democratic Candidate could have a larger effect than expected. If we do see a Democratic Sweep, it will be time to get better acquainted with the Filibuster Rule, which Biden has said he will keep in place.
Listen to the NutShell podcast episode here to learn more about: Unbiased news sources, The Filibuster Rule, Both Candidate's 2021 Policy Effects on Sectors, the most important man in Washington… Jerome Powell, and more in the top link below:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Senate Democrats included $225 million for Israel's Iron Dome rocket interception system in an emergency funding bill on Tuesday that also cut $1 billion from President Barack Obama's request for $3.7 billion to deal with thousands of undocumented child immigrants.
"Israel is an essential American ally and needs these assets to defend itself," said Maryland Democratic Senator Barbara Mikulski, chairwoman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, in a statement.
More than 600 people - most of them Palestinians - have been killed in the current conflict between Israel and militants in Gaza. On Tuesday, Israel pounded targets across the Gaza Strip, saying no ceasefire was near.
Israel said the Iron Dome has intercepted about a fifth of more than 2,000 rockets militants have fired at Israel during the current conflict.
U.S. lawmakers tend to be heavily pro-Israel. However, the fate of the $225 million - and other funding in the legislation - is uncertain in the Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives, where there is stiff opposition to an increase in spending tied to the Democratic president's request.


Is a deposit required to book a party or event?
Yes, we require a $50 deposit to secure any birthday party or hourly rental. Bookings for weddings, receptions, or total value over $1000 require a 50% deposit up front. Your reservation is not secure until the deposit has been received. Deposits are non-refundable. Cancellations received within 2 weeks of the booking date may apply the deposit to a subsequent booking. Cancellations after 2 weeks forfeit the deposit.
How soon do I need to make a reservation?
We encourage you to book your party/event as soon as you know what date you want. The earlier you book, the best chance you have of getting the date/time of your choice. That said, the minimum lead time required for a booking is 48 hours, so if there's still availability, we'll do our best to get you in!
No, unfortunately at this time we only accept cash, cheque, or email money transfer. Email money transfers should be sent to info@mapleridgecentre.com.
Do you permit outside food/drink?
Of course! You are welcome to bring your own food and drink to our facility for any birthday party or private rental. Certain public events do not permit outside food/drink so please check for specific event information. Please note if alcohol is brought in, you must provide your own LCBO special occasion permit available at any LCBO branch and must abide by all LCBO requirements.
How early can I come to set up for a party?
If you are booking a time-slot for a party, you are allowed to show up 10-15 minutes in advance and must have the area cleared by 10 minutes following your booked slot. If you think you will require more time for set-up/clean-up you must book the space accordingly. We have a schedule to keep and want to be sure all other parties are able to access the facilities at their booked time. Thank you for your cooperation!
Do we have to clean up following a party?
It is expected that all parties leave the facility in the same condition as when they came. This includes the equipment put away and equipment room left tidy, all garbage/recycling deposited in provided cans, etc. We take care of wiping down tables and sweeping/mopping where needed, but we do appreciate notification of spills or larger messes so we can address them immediately.


College may be stressful but paying for college can bring its own issues. Financial burden is one of the primary sources of stress for many college students. As noted by Ross, Niebling, and Heckert (1999), financial issues account for over 70 percent of perceived stress in college students. In addition to daily cost-of-living expenses increasing credit card debt, a substantial amount of long-term debt is incurred by students who are required to take loans to pay for their tuition (Jackson & Reynolds, 2013). Regarding the later, the amount of debt that is incurred by a college student is typically a direct function of the socioeconomic status and education level of the student's parents (Houle, 2013). This disparity in the availability of resources due to parental status creates a considerable burden on students who must attempt to balance academic success with making ends meet (Smith, 2011). Students are also faced with an additional source of stress resulting from the ambiguity regarding their career opportunities following graduation and the subsequent ability to pay off their college loans (Guo, Wang, Johnson, & Diaz, 2011). In order to pay off these extensive loans, many college students work during college. This additional role as an employee adds stress to the student as well.

May Cover & Highlights
Highlights for May 2020
Erling Grumstrup, known for his love of singing, is on the cover, greeting us with a smile while the Solvang hospitality team, including songleader Suzanne Hollrah, huddles in the background. The singing theme continues with Edward Broadbridge's English translation of En Lærke Leddet, a song about the liberation of Denmark in 1945, commemorated each year on May 4 by Danes putting lights in their windows, as in the photo by Anders Boll. He and his wife Gudrun, relatives of Else Nygaard Martin of the Danish colony of Granly, Mississippi, own this former schoolhouse in Kattrup, Denmark where German soldiers stayed a few weeks before stealing away under cover of darkness on May 5 seventy-five years ago.
Eric Jul and Birgit Højer, kin to Richard "Dick" Juhl, describe how the tradition of community singing in Denmark has had a resurgence while people have stayed at home to thwart the coronavirus pandemic. Hanna Broadbridge describes the creativity of Danish churches during this extraordinary time. Our pandemic experience is not unprecedented. We are reminded of that in the second part of the series looking at Manistee, Michigan as it endured the 1918 Spanish flu.
Continuing to look at archives, we find Danish folk school inspirations in newsletters of Community Service Inc., founded by Arthur Morgan, a supporter of the Americanized version of Ashland Folk School, which appeared in the last issue of Church and Life.
Before world travel came to a standstill this year, Marianne Gaarden, bishop of Lolland-Falster and Danish Churches Abroad, and her husband Michael Schelde, former director of the Grundtvig Study Center at Aarhus University, visited the Danish churches in Argentina. She shares her understanding of the churches role in those communities.
A few photos by Dan Mikel take us back to where we started on the cover to the Solvang Folk School Talks and people savoring time together to sing and visit. Little did we know at the end of February how precious such an in-person gathering would be.
The West Denmark Family Camp, held annually on July 1, 2, and 3 in Luck, Wisconsin, has been cancelled for 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic. We look forward to welcoming our campers back in 2021.
Henrik Strandskov, Director, West Denmark Family Camp
Danebod Folk School in Tyler, MN is closed to all on site activities for the summer of 2020. due to COVID-19. However, The Folk Meeting is planning a virtual abbreviated on-line experience. Continue to save the dates August 19-21 and look for more information to come. In the meantime, stay safe and well. Keep singing.
On page 2 of the April 2020 issue in the notice about the former Danish Lutheran Church in Manistee, Michigan, the name of the church should be Our Savior's Lutheran Church and it is Our Savior's Historical Society that is preserving the building and increasing its accessibility. The term "old" was mistakenly used instead of "our." The museum in the structure is called the Old Kirke Museum, which may have led to the confusion.
Upcoming Danish Celebrations
After Grundlovsdag, Constitution Day, on June 5, commemorating the establishment of Denmark as a constitutional monarchy in 1849, comes Gunforeneningsdag, Reunification Day, on June 15. This year marks the one hundredth anniversary of the return of North Slesvig (Southern Jutland) to Danish control when the border with Germany moved to its present location from the Kongeå River where it had been since 1864.


A phony war has begun, a war on the newly powerful and influential independent media, a war waged by social media and internet giants like Google and Facebook, a war of censorship and economic sanctions.
Behind the giants of social media and technology is a cabal of fraudsters from the financial community who have engineered totally fake trillion-dollar companies that, with the exception of Apple, make nothing, have no clear revenue stream and continually censor, spy, exploit and bully the world.
Then again, we all know who makes Apple's merchandise.
To protect itself, these monstrosities are now unilaterally assuming authority for saying what is right and wrong, real and fake, what ideas live and die, they have exceeded Orwell's worst nightmares a hundredfold.
To do this, platforms are created, mysteriously funded alternative media sites that the mainstream media mentions continually, that Google pushes traffic to, whose wild and obscene videos are protected by YouTube and whose homicidal pronouncements are ignored by authorities. To this end, Info Wars comes to mind, but so do a dozen others.
Anytime a real source, a real whistleblower with real information on government complicity in terrorism or large-scale corruption, comes forward, and they aren't jailed or forced to flee the country, their revelations are overwhelmed with spin, fluff, smears and an endless stream of conspiracy theories carefully engineered.
You can easily note an engineered conspiracy theory, it will contain all relevant details and have the elements of narrative construct and tenor of a television drama. Such efforts, and they are detected with increasing regularity, follow every event that has the "smell" of a possible false flag act.
One must recognize without question the simple fact that false flag attacks are as old as war and politics itself and that, were there another brother available, Cain would certainly have seen to it that he wasn't blamed for killing Abel.
There is little question that the world press had, for at least a generation, been put under centralized control and fed a false narrative. That narrative has become "recent history" and more is created daily, feeding the gulf between reality and fantasy, smothering not just the public.
There were always fallbacks, think tanks, esteemed academics, professional diplomats with standing and "sage" personalities of the press. In America those were Walter Cronkite, Edward R. Murrow and Helen Thomas, all no longer with us and clearly never to be replaced.
There are other "journalists" who are "famous" but hardly "sage," a list beginning with names like Katie Couric, Wolf Blitzer, Anderson Cooper, Tim Russert and Judith Miller. This is the list from which the "fake news" we hear about so often was born, fed by fake sources, tons of corporate cash and handlers from national intelligence agencies.
Any "known" individual in the modern press, anyone with a degree of fame, is likely to be easy to identify by a series of "red line" issues, foremost of all Israel.
Israel has been the litmus on which all journalism can be judged. It began so long ago, covering up the 1967 attack on the USS Liberty, feeding the world a totally fake version of the 1967 War with Israel as "victim," and decade after decade of demonization of millions of Palestinian refugees and the systematic censorship of the holocaust against the Palestinian people.
Yes, fake journalism protects companies like Monsanto, now facing ruin for half a century of salting the planet with Class I carcinogens. But, by and large, journalists, like police, see themselves as employees, tasked with what they are assigned, with "duties" to perform, too often easily pushed beyond the line, pushed into doing harm.
Many reasons are given for this, but generally it is toadying up to wealth and power in hopes of staving off a life of mediocrity and suffering that being born without talent and living without a moral compass, in a Darwinian world, would normally consign one to the human scrap heap.
We use Israel as a model as issues involving Israel have, for generations, dominated not only controlled news but entertainment as well and, since both have melded into a newer and "higher" form of blended fakery, fostering the total destruction of reality as perceived by the public.
When the new device driven fake media, dominated by Silicon Valley's secret underbelly of hedge fund scamsters, controls all device driven information fed to a public addicted to instant gratification, new avenues of propaganda and control are created.
Within a few short years nothing can stand in the way, not the courts, not elected officials, not the military, all simply bow to a public lulled into fake circular controversies based on the inane and the machinations of a financial world driven by the esoteric world of IPO's and fiat currencies.
In a world where billions, even trillions of dollars in political and military power are created through "tweets and trolldom," through incessant collection and processing of personal data, all to no known end or value, daily events, wars, bombings, disasters, mean nothing.

Roystonea oleracea
Plant Family: Member of the Arecaceae or Palm family, called the West Indian Royal Palm, Royal Palm, Imperial Palm or Cabbage Palm; very similar to R. regia, the Cuban Royal Palm, also called Royal Palm, Boat Palm, and Bottle Palm; other family members include the Coconut Palm (Cocos nucifera) and the Talipot or Century Palm (Corypha umbraculifera).
Description: Imposing, very stately, up to 30 m tall (100 ft), with light gray, erect, cylindrical trunk up to 22 m (70 ft); leaves in crown at top of stem, 3-5 m long (10-16 ft) with leaflets of about 1 m (3.25 ft) in two horizontal ranks; leafstalks, of about 1.5 m (5 ft), broaden to surround and sheath stem; flowers born in large-stalked panicles revealed when the leaf-sheaths beneath them drop off; abundant blue-violet fruit are small, obovoid, and without stalks; R. oleraceae not to be confused with R. regia; latter very similar with its dark red, but round fruit, and differs from R. oleraceae in having more fruit bunches concurrently; additionally, R. regia tends in younger trees to a more obvious swelling or thickening of the trunk at or near the middle, and so was used by the indigenous Indians for canoe building, hence one of its common names, Boat Palm; also, R. oleraceae has ascending leaves giving the crown a somewhat flat appearance, whereas R. regia has lower-drooping, more feathery leaves, in an almost globose crown.
Habitat: Regions near sea level with moderate rainfall; in Dominica, apart from the Gardens, good examples can be seen at Mt Joy, Mero, and Springfield Estate.
Origin and Distribution: Native to Trop. America, now found in most of the tropics and semi-tropics.


On 6 September 1913, Woolwich Arsenal made the move that made history. They left behind their Manor Ground in Plumstead, South-East London, and moved into a new stadium in Highbury, North London, in what would four years later become the N5 postal district.
The club moved at the insistence of owner Sir Henry Norris, who had become majority shareholder in 1910. Norris was a divisive figure - a longserving board member at Fulham, he had tried to merge the two clubs before turning his attention to moving his new club north - but there is little doubt that Arsenal, relegated after finishing bottom of the First Division, were drifting towards financial oblivion without the move.
After a friendly FA committee waved away objections to the move, Norris had four months to build a stadium. He raised an impressive £125,000 - around £12.2m at 2013 rates - and spent £20,000 on a 21-year lease of six acres at St John's College of Divinity. Noted stadium architect Archibald Leitch was enlisted and designed a single stand, the East Stand, with the rest being banked terracing made of compacted earth. Highbury was ready for football.

New Ageing & Dementia Research Centre opens for business
BU research Rachel Bowen
A new Ageing & Dementia Research Centre (ADRC) has launched at Bournemouth University (BU), bringing together cross-Faculty expertise in the areas of dementia and ageing. At a time when our population is living longer, often with long-term medical conditions including dementia, the centre's research is likely to have a significant impact on theory, education and professional practice.
The aim of ADRC is to use the team's collective expertise to develop person-centred research which will improve the lives of people with dementia and their families. Their research falls under three broad categories – developing ageing & dementia friendly environments, nutrition & wellbeing and activity & social inclusion. Each topic builds on a wealth of research knowledge and projects already taking place at BU.
The ADRC will be led by Professor Jane Murphy and Professor Jan Wiener, supported by staff and students from the Faculty of Health & Social Sciences and the Faculty of Science & Technology.
For more information about their work see the centre's web page or email Michelle O'Brien if you're interested in finding out more about a particular project.
The team are currently working on the following funded research projects:
Dementia-friendly architecture: Reducing spatial disorientation in dementia care homes. A two year funded project conducting innovative research using virtual reality technology and eye tracking to simulate unfamiliar care home environments. Knowledge gained as a result of the project will help to create dementia-friendly architectural guidelines for use in the design of care homes for people with Alzheimer's Disease. The project is funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC). Staff involved: Professor Jan Wiener and Dr Ramona Grzeschik.
Eating and drinking well: Supporting people living with dementia. Understanding how nutrition, exercise and other lifestyle factors impact upon quality of life, wellbeing and the progression of dementia to inform new innovative approaches for prevention and management of dementia including new educational models and assistive technology. Funded by the Burdett Trust. Staff involved: Professor Jane Murphy and Joanne Holmes.
TAi ChI for people with demenTia (TACIT trial). A three year funded project to conduct a phase II randomised controlled trial to test the benefit of Tai Chi for people living with dementia living in the community. Funded by the National Institute for Research (NIHR) as a Career Development Fellowship. Staff involved: Dr Samuel Nyman.
Using serious games to support the quality of life of people with dementia. A European funded project in collaboration with Alzheimer's Valencia, Alzheimer's Greece, Alzheimer's Slovenia and Alzheimer's Romania and Instituto de Biomecanica de Valencia (IBV), exploring the use of gaming activities for people with dementia and their care partners. Funded by ERASMUS+. Staff involved: Dr Ben Hicks, Professor Jan Wiener and Professor Wen Tang.

Sunday Snippet, Freshman Physics by Bill Chance
"I am now 33 years old, and it feels like much time has passed and is passing faster and faster every day. Day to day I have to make all sorts of choices about what is good and important and fun, and then I have to live with the forfeiture of all the other options those choices foreclose. And I'm starting to see how as time gains momentum my choices will narrow and their foreclosures multiply exponentially until I arrive at some point on some branch of all life's sumptuous branching complexity at which I am finally locked in and stuck on one path and time speeds me through stages of stasis and atrophy and decay until I go down for the third time, all struggle for naught, drowned by time. It is dreadful. But since it's my own choices that'll lock me in, it seems unavoidable–if I want to be any kind of grownup, I have to make choices and regret foreclosures and try to live with them."

Freshman Physics
Fifty years later, Eugene remembered Professor Viper.
"You have to understand the difference between velocity and acceleration. Velocity is always positive, at least in the direction of motion, but acceleration can be positive or negative. You can be moving in one direction, very fast, but accelerating in the other direction."
"Imagine you are in a Mustang, with a big supercharged V8, screaming down the road. But you swing the wheel, skid around backwards, and start smoking your tires. You are still moving, your velocity, down the road, but you are facing, and accelerating in the other."
Eugene remembered perking up at this.
First, what a completely insane analogy. Professor Viper must have been some sort of car freak. Eugene wasn't – he didn't even have a driver's license, let alone a car. It was like listening to an alien speak in English, but an alien way of looking at the world.
Second, well, he had done the same thing the night before. He had gone out for beers with a bunch of people and drank too much, stayed out too late. That was why he was nodding off in the lecture… until Professor Viper made the crazy analogy. Eugene and Martha has staggered out from the bar at closing time with all their friends and they had started piling into the car they had come in.
Eugene was worried because the driver had really been throwing them back. Then he spotted Frank, a quiet guy from the floor below – he barely knew, getting into his own car a couple parking spots down. He looked steadier than the others.
"Martha, let's ride with Frank instead," he said to his girlfriend.
"Why? We barely know him."
"I think he's sober."
He was wrong. Frank was totally smashed. It was just that he was quiet and better at standing without swaying. But behind the wheel, he was a terror. His car was that heavy Midwestern hopped-up American hunk of steel and was very fast and very loud.
Eugene remembered sitting and sliding on the front bench seat with Martha between him and Frank as they roared down the street. They swerved through and intersection and skidded around in a three sixty with Frank and Martha screaming in drunken glee as the headlights swung in a wide arc and illuminated the terrified faces of the people in the other cars.
Somehow they avoided hitting anything and made it back in one piece. Eugene swore he would never get in a car with Fran and would always check his driver out and never ride with a drunk again. There was a lifetime of cabs in front of him and he was fine with that.
And now, the very next day, Professor Viper was talking about skidding and velocity and acceleration. It was all too much.
Class ended and Eugene walked up the hill to the dormitory where he and Frank lived. He called Martha and she said she might come over later, she was tired and hung over. There was a knock on his door and Matt, another friend that lived on Frank's floor, came in.
"Hey Eugene, I wanted to tell you something."
"It's Frank. I was talking to him. And he said he was going to steal Martha from you. He met her last night, you both rode back with him and he really likes her. He says he's going to get her from you."
"Jeez, what should I do?"
"I don't know. I just wanted to warn you."
And that's what happened. Frank had that car and Eugene didn't even have a license. He didn't have a chance.
The two of them were married their Junior year and at graduation, Martha was eight months pregnant.
The three of them stayed in town after graduation, why go anywhere else? Fifty years. Frank and Martha split up in a few years and Frank left the state. Eugene never talked to Martha again, but the town wasn't that big and he heard about her every now and then. Last year he discovered that she was not only a grandmother, but a great grandmother.
"Let's see," Eugene thought to himself, "A mother for twenty years, then a grandmother for twenty more… a grandmother at forty then a great-grandmother at sixty-something…" The math was easy. He was thinking about this, stretched out in his hospital bed, when the machine on the stand to his right gave a chime and made a whirring noise.
The dose moved down the tube into the needle on the crook of his arm and everything went warm and fuzzy and the half century old memories that seemed so crystal clear went away. Eugene shook his head to try and bring them back. He wondered if they ever would return.
"The degree of slowness is directionally proportional to the intensity of memory. The degree of speed is directionally proportional to the intensity of forgetting."
― Milan Kundera, Slowness

N.Y. AG Looks to Clean Up Chimney Sweeps Targeting Seniors
New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer reported that his office has obtained a temporary restraining order against a chimney cleaning company that reportedly targets elderly Hudson Valley residents for unnecessary repairs.
State Supreme Court Justice James Brands signed the order barring John Delp and Caron Brady, the operators of a series of chimney cleaning and repair companies, from continued violation of consumer protection laws such as the Do Not Call Law and the Home Improvement Contracts Law.
In addition to obtaining a restraining order, Spitzer's office filed a lawsuit against Delp, Caron and their two current businesses, Flue Season Inc. and All American Service Maintenance Inc. The suit alleges that the defendants conducted business in New York State and New Jersey through a series of corporations which they opened and closed in an effort to avoid liability to their customers.
Spitzer's investigation reportedly revealed a pattern of soliciting consumers, many of whom were elderly, by phone, and baiting them with low-ball estimates for chimney cleaning services. Rarely, however, was a chimney cleaning all that the consumers ended up purchasing. Using scare tactics about chimney fires or dangerous back drafts, the service men who arrived to clean chimneys reportedly sold consumers on the need for expensive chimney repairs, including caps and liners.
In most cases the work was unnecessary and cost consumers between $1,200 and $3,000. Defendants also violated consumer protection laws by reportedly insisting that the repairs needed to be done immediately, denying consumers the benefits of the legally required three-day cooling off period for cancellations. In addition, the suit says the defendants failed to put any advance deposits into an escrow account as required by law.
Spitzer's office said that some consumers complained that the "repair" work was poorly done or just partially completed, in some cases creating a dangerous condition. Efforts by these consumers to have poor or incomplete work fixed were reportedly rebuffed or ignored by the defendants.
In filing the lawsuit, Spitzer's office is seeking a court order barring Delp and Caron from, among other things, engaging in the home improvement contracting business unless they post a performance bond of $100,000. Spitzer also seeks civil penalties, costs and restitution for injured consumers, including nearly $7,800 for seven consumers identified in the lawsuit.
In the past nine years, Delp and Caron have operated under several business names, including Chimney Care Corp., Big Apple Chimney Sweeps Inc., Garden State Chimney Cleaners Inc, and All American Chimney Repairs Inc.

Original 1938 Meem drawing
75th Anniversary banner
University of New Mexico Zimmerman Library. "An example of John Gaw Meem's design of Santa Fe Style architecture came into being with federal funding ($341,424) [about $6.5 million 2018 dollars] as a PWA project in 1938. Furniture and tin work can be found throught the building created by New Deal craft persons and as a result Meem once commented that this was probably the most expensive building created on campus when once includes the amount of time spent on all the fine handicrafts. The total estimated cost was actually $460,080 according to Van Dorn Hooker. Meem shared that this building which includes 61,578 square feet was probably his finest work."[1]
Circulation desk/card catalog 1938[2]
"The interior of the building is emphasized by the work of local craftspeople including punched tin light fixtures, elaborate wood carving and handmade furniture, all designed by Meem and rendered in WPA funded workshops in the area. The construction of Zimmerman Library and the other PWA projects on the UNM campus provided much needed employment for local laborers and artisans through New Deal funding. ... [Ground was broken] December 2, 1936 and the new library was opened on April 1, 1938. As before, students, faculty, and Works Progress Administration workers carried books into the new building. The process took two weeks and filled four of the nine stack levels. The building was formally dedicated in June 1939 during UNM's fiftieth anniversary celebration and named after president Zimmeran in 1961. The 1930's brought additions to the library staff, including cataloger, reference, loan, periodicals, reserves and archivist librarians. By 1939 staff also included five WPA workers, thirty National Youth Administration students, and nine student assistants."[2]
"Constructed between 1936 and 1938 with PWA and WPA Public Works Administration funds, the library is organized around the Great Hall, with three reading rooms projecting from the north end of the hall and two on the south end. ... Northwest and southwest of the entrance are park- like groves of evergreen trees planted by the WPA. ... Many of the interior fixtures and furnishings of the library were also designed by the architect, including hand-carved tables, chairs, and desks produced by local Hispanic craftsmen. Many of the Hispanic-style punched-tin lanterns and chandeliers, aspen-pole latilla ceilings, wrought-iron gates, banisters, and door handles, carved-wood steam-heat register guards were produced by local craftsman, who were paid by the WPA. Native American artisans, also employed by the WPA, carved vigas and corbel brackets throughout the library in the Spanish-Pueblo Revival style."[3]

Your scarf collection looks a lot like mine! Definitely an addiction. My problem is I like to crochet them, plus when I see a cute one in a store I just can't pass it up.
I just use plastic hangers and drape several scarves along the straight part at the bottom, but I've also seen (on Pinterest of course) an idea to hang shower curtain rings on a hanger and then hang a scarf on each ring.
This is so cute. I need to make one of these, I have tons of scarves. Great idea. I have a link party on Wednesdays, and I would love it if you would link this and any other posts. It is called Wednesdays Adorned From Above Link Party. It runs from Wednesday to Sundays.
My roomies and I used to use a standing coat hanger. It worked pretty well. We've also just hung them all along a railing on our upper floor. It looks really cool, but only works in a student house full of girls though!
Super idea - I think I shall have to have a go at this as currently my scarves are languishing inside the large jug of my washstand set and I have to rummage to find them!
Brilliant--thanks so much for sharing!

Handles everything from full size hams to steaming turkeys. The Bear Paws are the easiest to use meat holders and handlers. Firmly hold and lift heavy meats from the pan to the platter or use the bear paws to shred meat like pulled pork. They provide a strong grip even on slippery meats while carving and the handles never get hot.

Children's festival
Today was rehearsal for our guest appearance at the Children's Day festival being hosted at NUAS. There were six countries being represented; England, France, Nigeria, Russia, China, and America for the kids. The entire gymnasium had been decorated by the NUAS student volunteers and the staff at the Children's Care center. They divided the room into five parts with Europe (England, Russia, France, and Nigeria) on one wall, America on the opposite, China at the back wall, a middle station for flag making, and the entrance desk just past the doors. Each child got a little passport as they entered and after the presentation they would go to each country and receive a stamp after they played a game there.
Each country had at least one person representing them and for our presentation we where to show a game or song from that country. So from France we played a game un, duex, trois, soleil (one , two, three, sun), that was like red light green light except with numbers. We played with the volunteers. It was funny because all of the foreigners would run and get out quickly. But the Japanese students just sort of shuffled forward until someone made it. Nigeria had a song (can't remember the name of it), China's game was a chicken protection game, and Russia had a cat and mouse game. England joined forces with America and we were supposed to do patty cake.
Practice took about three hours and then we all just went home. At about 7pm Kim came over to my room and we ended up practicing patty cake over and over again and trying to remember our lines (we had to say a short little speech about America in Japanese) for the next day.
I never realized how hard patty cake was as a child. It was so ridiculous. Loren (the British rep.) was saying the words over the mike and then Kim and I were one pair doing it, while Markeith and Keith were the other. At first Loren started out too fast, and off rhythm (she had never actually heard or done patty cake before). Then the second time we just messed up. In the end we just laughed along with the audience. Andre`s French game went well and this time the kids actually ran. The Chinese game was basically that one person was the Robin (it might have been another type of bird) and one person is the Chicken and everyone else are the chicks. The chicks all line up behind the chicken and then the robin tries to get past the chicken to snag a chick. It was a lot of fun but dangerous on the slick wood floors. The Russian cat and mouse game was a little confusing. There are a certain number of mice and cats (marked by a little tail) and then everyone else is in a circle. The mice are inside the circle and the cats are outside. The cats try to catch the mice and the mice try to steal the cat's tails. Cats are not allowed inside the circle. All of the foreigners and a couple of the volunteers were the cats and the kids were all mice. I was thinking that it would be ok. No. Two seconds into the game my tail is gone and I have no idea what to do. And they were like "Go! catch the mice!" And I went to go do so, but then I saw about seven or eight kids in a group and I got scared and I just started running from them. It was a bit scary. All in all it was lots of fun. Then we went to go and man the stations for the next couple of hours while the kids played. I was so tired by the end of it.

Hugo Manuel Juárez Montoya (13 de agosto de 1943-16 de marzo de 2022), fue un prestigioso músico argentino y profesor de música. Hijo de Oscar Ramón Juárez (abogado y poeta) y Rosario Montoya. Fue un virtuoso guitarrista, arreglador-orquestador, y uno de los primeros músicos en ejecutar la guitarra eléctrica en Santiago del Estero (Argentina). Es el autor de la marcha deportiva "Juegos de la Araucanía" (letra y música) reconocida como marcha bi-nacional también por la República de Chile. Obtuvo el Premio Trimarg 2008 (CAMU/CIM/UNESCO) en arreglos para guitarra de la Misa Patagónica.

Primeros años
A los 10 años comienza a tocar la quena, y a los 12 años, la guitarra, orientado por su madre en acordes y en escalas. Paralelamente, entusiasmado por el músico santiagueño Hugo Díaz, aprende a ejecutar la armónica.

A los 13 años forma el dúo Juárez-Tévez con Leopoldo Dante Tévez, actualmente Leo Dan, a quien conoció debido al noviazgo entre su hermano, Oscar Juárez, y la hermana de Leo, Ramona Azucena Tévez (Chicha).

La primera vez que pulsa una guitarra eléctrica es a los 14 años, edad en la que también aprende a tocar el violín, cuando se une a la orquesta "Las Estrellas Americanas del Jazz", reemplazando al guitarrista Coco Villagrán. A esta edad también acompaña al cantautor Billy Cafaro, creador del tema Pity Pity.

Sus primeras influencias fueron los músicos argentinos Oscar Alemán, Horacio Malvicino, Mario Fioramonti y Walter Ruiz "el Rey de los Acordes", siendo estos dos últimos
guitarristas santiagueños.

A los 15 años forma un conjunto folklórico llamado "los Troveros del Salitral" con su primo Mario Juárez, Leopoldo Dante Tévez (Leo Dan) como vocalista, Gustavo Chazarreta, y Julio Cárdenas.
Además, aprende a tocar el piano, conocimiento que posteriormente le serviría para armonía y orquestación.

A los 16 años crea los "King Rockers", primer grupo de rock del norte argentino, y a los 17, "los Demonios del Ritmo", grupo que se dedicó a tocar diversos géneros musicales.
Hugo es el primero en armar un bajo eléctrico (y a su vez, dos guitarras eléctricas) en el norte del país, iniciando una nueva etapa para los músicos de la zona.

Su carrera en Buenos Aires
A los 20 años se traslada a Buenos Aires donde tiene la oportunidad de grabar en el sello discográfico Juniors de Alberto Losavio (Tine)un disco simple con dos temas: "Mi guitarra toca twist" y "María Laura". En un segundo disco para el mismo sello graba los temas "Lo que sufrí" y "Primavera de mi corazón".

Durante su estadía en Buenos Aires, toca con Pinky Rubano (baterista), Néstor Rama (organista), Cacho Valdéz (guitarrista), Chungo Rodríguez (guitarrista), Adalberto Cevasco (bajista), Bochy Iacopetti (autor de "Quieren matar al ladrón" y la zamba "Me gusta Jujuy cuando llueve"), José Alberto Iglesias (conocido como Tanguito), Roberto Vignola (acordeonista), Carlos Datto (saxofonista), Barry Moral (clarinetista), Horacio Larrumbe (organista), Mingo Moles (bandoneonista), José Colángelo (pianista de Aníbal Troilo), Antonio Agri (violinista de Piazzolla), Dino Saluzzi (bandoneonista), Bernardo Baraj (saxofonista) y Juan Gamba Gentilini (guitarrista).

Patagonia
A la edad de 22 años se radicó en Trelew-Chubut.
Acompañó a diferentes cantantes: Rodolfo Lesica, Calígula, al animador Juan Carlos Mareco, Jorge Valdez, Roberto Goyeneche, Gabriel Reynal, Andy Moss (excantante de The Platters), la artista peruana Fetiche, el mexicano Fabricio (hijo de la cantante Eva Garza), el percusionista santiagueño Domingo Cura y Hugo Giménez Agüero (Cosquín, 1992).

También formó el primer grupo patagónico de rock, junto a los hermanos Hugo y Ubaldo Sepúlveda, en bajo y batería respectivamente, y Roberto Tinello en guitarra rítmica, utilizando el mismo nombre de su primer grupo santiagueño King Rockers. Fue el primero, en el sur Argentino, en comenzar a tocar Jazz Rock con su conjunto Agrupación Moderna.

A partir de los 27 años, comienza a trabajar como arreglador y orquestador en la Banda de Música de la Policía del Chubut. En el año 2005, esta banda se presenta en Cosquín con sus arreglos y dirección.

También en el 2005, grabó la Misa Patagónica a cargo de los arreglos y ejecución de guitarra, correspondiendo a Damián Sánchez los arreglos corales, realizándose dicha grabación con el ingeniero de sonido Amílcar Gilabert, y a cargo de Raúl Mario Silva la percusión y la producción general.

En el año 2008 fue director y fundador de la Escuela Itinerante Barrial de Música a través de Policía Comunitaria, enseñándose a los niños, distintos instrumentos de viento.

Desde el año 2011 y hasta el comienzo de la pandemia por Covid-19, tuvo una escuela de instrumentos musicales, EDIM, que funcionó en su domicilio particular dictando las clases con su señora Roxana.

Editorial Musical Técnica Patagónica
En el año 2004, Hugo Juárez inicia un emprendimiento familiar junto a su esposa Roxana Juárez, que se daría a conocer como EMTP: Editorial Musical Técnica Patagónica, la cual produce métodos y tratados de música.
