March 14 – It's National Women's History Month
Posted by Kath Carroll
About the Holiday
National Woman's History Month was established by the United States Congress in 1987 to recognize and celebrate the achievements of American women in the past and today. This year's theme is "Balance for Better," which encourages true gender equity in the workplace, in government, and at home. Only when all people are heard and treated equally will communities thrive. There's no better time than now to get involved to ensure that all have the same rights and standing in all areas of their lives.
I received a copy of Hedy Lamarr's Double Life for review consideration. All opinions are my own. I'm excited to be partnering with Sterling in a giveaway of the book. See details below.
Hedy Lamarr's Double Life: Hollywood Legend and Brilliant Inventor
Written by Laurie Wallmark | Illustrated by Katy Wu
In 1938 people were lining up to see Hedy Lamarr in her first English-language movie Algiers. Hedy was the talk of Hollywood, and journalists and photographers captured her every move—almost. What movie-goers and the press didn't know was that Hedy Lamarr was also a brilliant inventor. Instead of attending fancy celebrity parties, after a long day on the set, "Hedy hurried home to work on her latest invention. Her brain overflowed with idea after idea for useful inventions." While she never tried to sell her ideas—like the collar to help find lost pets or the "flavor cube that changed plain water into soda"—she designed and redesigned them to perfection.

But how did Hedy get her start? She was born in Austria and as a child took apart mechanical objects just to see how they worked. Hedy's father also loved science, and he encouraged his daughter to hold onto her dreams. In addition to science, Hedy loved movies and would use her dolls to reenact the scenes she saw.
When she got older, Hedy got a job as a script girl and then worked as an extra in a movie. She loved acting and once said, "'I acted all the time…. I was a little living copybook. I wrote people down on me.'" While playing the lead in a stage play, the Hollywood producer Louis B. Mayer saw her and offered her movie contract. Hedy moved to America. It only took her six months to land a starring role in Algiers. After that she starred in many movies with some of the most famous actors and actresses.
By now, the world was at war. One day, Hedy met George Antheil, a former weapons inspector who now composed music. Hedy remembered a "discussion she had overheard back in Europe about a problem with the guidance system for torpedoes. The guidance system couldn't prevent the enemy from jamming the weapon's radio signals" and sending it off course. She learned from George Antheil that the US Navy had the same problem.
They decided to team up to see if they could figure out a solution. Hedy was also an accomplished pianist, and she and George often played musical games on the piano. Once, while they played the same song in different octaves, Hedy had a brainstorm for building "a secure torpedo guidance system." At the time, torpedo guidance systems only worked if the ship launching a torpedo and the torpedo were on the same frequency.
Hedy thought that if the ship and the torpedo could switch between a series of different frequencies, the enemy would be foiled. "Hedy called her discovery 'the hopping of frequencies." Working together, she and George devised a way to implement Hedy's idea. When they presented their idea to the National Inventors Council, they were told the "idea had 'great potential value.'"
There were still some issues to overcome to make the system automated, but Hedy and George answered those too. They applied for a patent, and a year later on August 11, 1942 it was granted. When they gave the idea to the United States Navy, "Hedy was proud her frequency-hopping idea might help America win the war." But embroiled in the middle of the conflict, the Navy didn't have "the time or money to implement a new system…."
Hedy, who still wanted to help America defeat the Nazis, was undaunted. She helped raise 25 million dollars by selling war bonds and volunteered at the Hollywood Canteen, where servicemen soon to be deployed gathered. Hedy went on to make more than twenty movies and continued to work on her inventions.
In the 1980s, the US Navy declassified Hedy's frequency-hopping technology, meaning anyone could use it. Because the patent had long-ago expired, no one needed to give Hedy and George credit for the idea. "Companies raced to include frequency hopping in their own devices." In 1997, Hedy and George were finally recognized when they "received the Pioneer Award from the Electronic Frontier Foundation for their significant contribution to computers."
A timeline of Hedy Lamarr's life, a description of how Hedy and George's frequency-hopping technology worked, additional resources for further reading, and a list of Hedy's movies follow the text.
Laurie Wallmark knows how to weave a riveting tale that draws readers in to the lives of fascinating and scientifically minded women throughout history. Her detailed biography of Hedy Lamarr will wow kids with the twists and turns of how a vital feature of the electronics they use every day came to be. A history not only of this famous woman but of the times and policies that denied Hedy Lamarr the recognition and profits she deserved, the story is sure to spark plenty of discussion. The inclusion of a few of Hedy's ingenious ideas as well as quotes on acting, inventing, and her views on life give children a glimpse into the mind of this unique woman.
Katy Wu takes readers back to the 1940s with her stylish illustrations reminiscent of magazine images of the time that depict both Hedy's glamourous and inventive sides. Even as Hedy steps out of a limo to the glare of flashbulbs, acts under stage lights, and watches movies thrown by a projector's beam, she's dreaming of going home to work on her inventions in the light of a desk lamp. When the story turns to Hedy's frequency-hopping idea, Wu clearly portrays the problems with the torpedo guidance system and the way single-frequency and multiple-frequency communications work. The way player pianos were controlled and how Hedy and George Antheil used this idea is also well portrayed. The final images of people using Hedy's technology today lets kids fully understand the impact that Hedy Lamarr has had on their lives.
An important story about an extraordinary woman, Hedy Lamarr's Double Life: Hollywood Legend and Brilliant Inventor will inspire children to follow and accomplish all of their dreams. The book will spur creative thought across subject matter and would be a motivational addition to home, classroom, and public libraries.

Paintings, books, music, sculpture, quilts, photography, and other arts show you a bit of the world in a new way—a way, perhaps, you've never thought of before. Art can inspire, gladden, sadden, anger, teach, and compel action. It can also provide joy and inspiration when you need it most—as you'll see in today's book. Celebrate today's holiday by visiting a museum, bookstore, library, concert, or gallery.
The Hiding Game
Written by Gwen Strauss | Illustrated by Herb Leonhard
It was October of 1940, and after moving from place to place to stay "one step ahead of the German soldiers," Aube and her family had found a home where they could "live together until it was their turn to flee to safety. The Villa Air-Bel was rented by Varian Fry—a magician—and his assistant Danny Bénédite and served as a place to hide those looking to escape the war-torn country. On Sundays, the house was full of "thinkers, artists and writers who had to hide from the German soldiers because of their ideas of freedom and liberty" like Aube's parents.
On those days, everyone played games, danced and made collages. One of Aube's favorite games was Cadavre Exquis, in which a piece of paper was folded and each participant drew a design on one fold. When the whole paper was unfolded, amazing, artistic pictures emerged. These games and entertainment, Aube's father told her, were their ways of fighting against fear. Because of the danger, many things had to be hidden at the Villa, including the radio and the cow that provided milk. Many ingredients for cooking were scarce. But even then Aube's father used art to lighten the mood, leaving a drawing of a roast beef in the pantry where a real roast should have been.
Because the authorities were reading Varian and Danny's mail and were listening to their phone calls, they had devised a way of hiding messages in toothpaste tubes that escaped the guard's searches. The messages went to other people helping along the escape route to tell them who to expect next. Everyone in the house also had to have a special hiding place in case the police came. Aube chose the an old cabinet in the kitchen.

Whenever a new group of people were scheduled to "make the dangerous journey to a new country, they held a Sunday party and art sale to raise money." Canvases painted by famous artists were hung among the branches of a large tree on the Villa grounds. When winter came, the Villa was so cold everyone had to wear all of their clothes to stay warm. They kept their spirits warm, too, by singing their favorite songs.
During the winter Danny visited camps where people were being held under terrible conditions. "Aube understood now that the danger was that they would be sent to the camps," where people were dying of starvation and disease. They had little clothes and no blankets even though it was snowing. The people, Danny said, were going to freeze. Aube thought of the game freeze tag and worried about all of those "people freezing, waiting for someone to set them free."
One day in December, the police raided the Villa. They took away all the men, including Danny, Varian, and Aube's papa. Aube cowered in the kitchen cabinet with their dog in fear. The next week, the men were released, but they knew that the police would be back. Danny and Varian began to plan their escape. Before they all left, Aube's father devised one more game. Each artist would paint their own version of a playing card to create a collective work of art. "The cards would remind them that they had laughed together and stayed free in their hearts even during the darkest times."
Aube's family were placed on a ship sailing to South America, and on February 18, 1941 they left the Villa and Danny and Varian behind and made the one-month-long journey to freedom. Several months later, Varian was "forced to leave France and return to America." Danny went underground and "helped another 300 people escape France." In 1943, however, Danny was "arrested by the Nazis and sentenced to death." Just as he was facing the firing squad, soldiers fighting the Nazis burst through the gates of the camp and freed him and the other inmates.

Gwen Strauss includes extensive backmatter on this true-life story about her great-uncle Danny Bénédite. A detailed account of the work by Varian Fry, Danny Bénédite, and the American Rescue Committee, complete with photographs, as well as short biographies of some of the artists who visited the Villa (and a compelling list of others) plus resources for further study round out this compelling book.
Clearly written and with details from a child's point of view that will resonate with readers, The Hiding Game is an absorbing tribute not only to two men involved in the Nazi resistance movement but to the resilience that uplifts people during the darkest times. This fascinating true story also offers a glimpse into the important role that artists and writers play in shining a light on history, interpreting it, and fighting against forces that destroy. Rich with the atmosphere of intrigue, suspense, and simple pleasures enjoyed, Strauss's dynamic storytelling will thrill children. The Hiding Game will prompt them to learn more about this time period and will inspire in them their own acts of heroism.
Herb Leonhard's realistic drawings of the Villa Air-Bel, the families who stopped there on their way to freedom, the moments of joy that sustained them, and the secret measures necessary for people's safety take readers into the heart of the story and allow them to witness the danger and the creativity that swirled side-by-side within the Villa and the people living there. Largely depicted in somber tones of gray and green, the pages brighten with glowing yellows during times of laughter, games, and creativity. An illustration of the mammoth tree hung with canvases by famous artists will impress children, and the final image will leave an indelible and thought-provoking impression on young readers and adults.
An excellent book for facilitating discussions about World War II and the Holocaust with children at home and in the classroom as well as offering opportunities for cross-curricular learning in history, art, reading, and more, The Hiding Game is a superb choice to add to home, school, and public libraries.
Ages 7 – 12

Shoreline Management Act
This page provides a basic overview of the Shoreline Management Act in Washington State, focusing on significant court decisions and sample master programs.
On this Page [hide] [show]
The Shoreline Management Act (SMA), like the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), was enacted in 1971, and its purpose is to manage and protect the shorelines of the state by regulating development in the shoreline area. A major goal of the Act is "to prevent the inherent harm in an uncoordinated and piecemeal development of the state's shorelines." Its jurisdiction includes the Pacific Ocean shoreline and the shorelines of Puget Sound, the Strait of Juan de Fuca, rivers, and streams and lakes above a certain size. It also regulates "wetlands" associated with these shorelines.
Visit the Department of Ecology's (DOE) Shoreline Management Act pages for the most comprehensive and up-to-date information regarding the SMA and local implementation.
The primary responsibility for administering this regulatory program is assigned to local governments, with a significant oversight role by the Department of Ecology. Local governments have adopted shoreline master programs and many have adopted their required updates pursuant to the Shoreline Master Program Guidelines at chapter 173-26 WAC. Local shoreline master programs establish goals and policies that are implemented through use regulations. No substantial development is permitted on the state's shoreline unless a permit is obtained from the local jurisdiction that demonstrates consistency with the shoreline master program.
Statutes and Administrative Regulations
Ch. 90.58 RCW - Shoreline Management Act
Ch. 173-26 WAC - Shoreline master program guidelines
Ch. 173-27 WAC- Shoreline management permit and enforcement procedures
Shoreline Permits and the Shorelines Hearings Board
Local governments issue shoreline substantial development, conditional use, and variance permits, as well as shoreline exemptions pursuant to the policies and use regulations in their shoreline master programs. Approvals by local government of shoreline conditional use and variance permits must be reviewed by DOE, which then issues the final decision. Local governments and Ecology can also issue fines under the SMA. For more information, see DOE's Shoreline Permits and Enforcement page.
The Shorelines Hearings Board hears appeals from permit decisions, and from shoreline penalties jointly issued by the local government and DOE, or issued by DOE alone.
Shoreline Master Program Updates
Cities and counties are required to update their shoreline master programs to be consistent with the Shoreline Master Program Guidelines according to the schedule in RCW 90.58.080, with periodic reviews thereafter.
For the status of individual jurisdictions with links to the documents, see DOE's Status of Local Shoreline Master Programs.
Examples of Updated Shoreline Master Programs
Bainbridge Island Shoreline Master Program and Ordinance No. 2014-04
Bothell Resolution No. 1288 (2012) - Approving amended shoreline master program, and Exhibits A-D
King County: About the King County Shoreline Master Program
Kirkland Ordinance No. 4251 (2010) - Adopting the Shoreline Master Program update
Spokane County Shoreline Master Program
Selected Court Decisions
Court upholds SMP adopted pursuant to the updated Department of Ecology guidelines
Olympic Stewardship Foundation, et. al. v. Western Washington Growth Management Hearings Board, ___ Wn. App. ___ (2017) - Division II affirmed the Western Washington Growth Management Hearings Board decision upholding Jefferson County's Shoreline Master Program (SMP). Jefferson County's SMP was adopted pursuant to the updated Department of Ecology guidelines under the Shoreline Management Act (SMA). The updated shoreline guidelines emphasize no net loss of ecological functions and protection of shoreline resources. The court rejected several arguments raised by the appellants, including that the SMP improperly prioritized shoreline resources over property rights, resulted in over-burdensome regulations on landowners, and was not supported by adequate scientific data.
Owner-noncommercial use exemption
Dep't of Ecology v. City of Spokane Valley, 167 Wn. App. 952, review denied, 175 Wn.2d 1015 (2012) - The court held that the "owner-noncommercial use exemption" to the definition of "substantial development" in RCW 90.58.030(3)(e)(vii) and thus to the requirement of a substantial development permit did not apply to the construction of spec docks for resale by the owner-developer of a 30-lot residential waterfront development. A developer-owner of property to be divided into multiple lots is not a private noncommercial user to which this exemption would apply.
RCW 82.02.020 and Shoreline Master Programs
Citizens For Rational Shoreline Planning v. Whatcom County, 172 Wn.2d 384 (2011) - The state supreme court held that shoreline master programs (SMPs) developed pursuant to the Shoreline Management Act are not subject to RCW 82.02.020, which prohibits local governments from imposing direct or indirect taxes, fees, or charges on development. The Shoreline Management Act governs nearly every aspect of the adoption and amendment of SMPs and this shows that SMPs were the product of state action. By its terms, RCW 82.02.020 applies to land use regulations and conditions imposed by local jurisdictions. While local jurisdictions played a role in tailoring SMPs to local conditions, the Shoreline Management Act dictates that the Department of Ecology retains control over the final contents and approval of SMPs. Thus, SMP regulations are the product of state action and not subject to RCW 82.02.020.
Private docks in harbor
Samson v. City of Bainbridge Island, 149 Wn. App. 33 (2009) - The court of appeals upheld the city's amendment to its shoreline master program prohibiting private docks in Blakely Harbor, a shoreline of statewide significance, concluding that the amendment was consistent with statutory guidelines. The court held that private docks in the harbor are not a preferred use, that the amendment was consistent with the city's shoreline master program and comprehensive plan, and that the amendment did not violate the "public trust" doctrine.
Critical areas in shorelines
Futurewise v. W. Wash. Growth Mgmt. Hearings Bd., 164 Wn.2d 242 (2008) - The Growth Management Act (GMA) does not apply to those critical areas inside shoreline management areas managed through shoreline master plans properly adopted, amended, and approved by Department of Ecology under the Shoreline Management Act (SMA). Critical areas within the jurisdiction of the SMA are governed only by the SMA. However, what is left unanswered by the court's plurality decision (a fifth justice concurring in the result only) is when the 2003 law at issue transfers protection of shoreline critical areas to a shoreline master program. Two subsequent court of appeals decisions from different divisions (Kitsap Alliance of Property Owners v. Growth Mgmt. Hrgs. Bd., 152 Wn. App. 190 (2009), and Kailin v. Clallam County, 152 Wn. App. 974 (2009)) reached differing conclusions as to the effect of the Futurewise decision. The 2010 legislature resolved the matter with the passage of ESHB 1653 (Ch. 107, Laws of 2010).
Department of Ecology challenge subject to LUPA
Twin Bridge Marine Park, LLC v. Dep't of Ecology, 162 Wn.2d 825 (2008) - The Department of Ecology (DOE) does not have statutory authority to directly review or to set aside a shoreline substantial development permit issued by a local jurisdiction having an approved shoreline management plan under the SMA. Should DOE wish to challenge a locally-issued substantial development permit, it must do so by means of a timely filed petition in superior court under the Land Use Petition Act (chapter 36.70C RCW). DOE may not collaterally challenge that decision by bringing an independent enforcement action against the developer.
Shoreline development moratorium
Biggers v. City of Bainbridge Island, 162 Wn.2d 683 (2007) - In a 5-4 decision, the state supreme court overturned the city's moratorium on shoreline development. The city had adopted adopting successive moratoriums that prevented the development of private property in shoreline areas over a period of years. However, five justices held that local governments have authority to enact moratoria on shoreline development without being in conflict with the SMA.
Location of ordinary high water mark
Thompson v. Dep't of Ecology, 136 Wn. App. 580, review denied, 161 Wn.2d 1023 (2007) - The ordinary high water mark (OHWM) occurs where the presence of water is reflected in the vegetation, and the OHWM can reasonably be interpreted as meaning that the line occurs where the river has caused aquatic vegetation to grow; therefore, the Shoreline Hearings Board did not err by denying an owner a variance for a deck because it interfered with the setback from the ordinary high water mark under RCW 90.58.030(2)(b).
GMA/SMA priority
Pres. Our Islands v. Shorelines Hearings Bd., 133 Wn. App. 503 (2006), review denied, 162 Wn.2d 1008 (2008) - RCW 36.70A.480 does not mandate that the policies and regulations of the SMA take priority over policies and regulations adopted under the GMA. On the contrary, the statute requires that regulations implementing the two acts be harmonized in the process of overall land use planning and regulation and specifically states that a county's shoreline master program goals and policies are part of its growth management comprehensive plan and that its master program regulations constitute development regulations.
LUPA exception
Harrington v. Spokane County, 128 Wn. App. 202 (2005) - The Land Use Petition Act (LUPA), chapter 36.70C RCW, is the exclusive means of judicial review of land use decisions, with certain exceptions. RCW 36.70C.030. One of those exceptions is that LUPA does not accommodate judicial review of a land use decision that is subject to review by a quasi-judicial body created by state law. RCW 36.70C.030(1)(a)(ii). Specifically, decisions reviewable by the Shorelines Hearings Board are not subject to judicial review under LUPA.
DOE challenge subject to LUPA
Samuel's Furniture v. Dept. of Ecology, 147 Wn.2d 440 (2002) - The Land Use Petition Act (LUPA), chapter 36.70C RCW, provides the avenue by which the Department of Ecology (DOE) may challenge a local government's decision that a proposed development does not require a shoreline substantial development permit because the project is outside the shoreline jurisdiction of the local shoreline master program. Where DOE has failed to timely seek review of the local government's decision under LUPA, it may not collaterally challenge the decision by bringing an independent enforcement action against the property owner or developer.
Shoreline variance
Buechel v. Department of Ecology, 125 Wn.2d 196 (1994) - A landowner seeking a variance from the requirements of a shorelines master program must comply with the requirements of a county or city ordinance if those requirements are stricter than those established by WAC 173-14-150 (now WAC 173-27-170). In the granting variances in shorelines cases, consideration must be given to the cumulative impact of additional requests for like actions in the area.
Injunctive or declaratory relief
Hedlund v. White, 67 Wn. App. 409 (1992) - Either a private citizen or a government entity may base an action for damages on the SMA, but only a governmental entity may base an action for injunctive or declaratory relief on the SMA.
Shoreline Hearings Board review
Bellevue Farm Owners Ass'n v. Shorelines Hearings Bd., 100 Wn. App. 341, review denied. 142 Wn.2d 1014 (2000) - San Juan County's threshold determination of nonsignificance did not preclude the Shoreline Hearings Board's independent review of the application. The board did not err in considering other applicable state and local regulations when it denied the substantial development permit based on deficiencies outside SEPA.
Shoreline office building
Eastlake Community Council v. City of Seattle, 64 Wn. App. 273, review denied, 119 Wn.2d 1005 (1992) - The Shoreline Management Act does not require that a shoreline office building be an integral part of, or be related to, the water dependent use built in conjunction with the offices.
Commercial clam harvesting
Clam Shacks of America, Inc. v. Skagit County, 109 Wn.2d 91 (1987) - The Shoreline Management Act authorizes local governments to require conditional use permits for shoreline activities, commercial clam harvesting in this case, that are not "developments" as defined by the Act.
Voluntary setback
Hunt v. Anderson, 30 Wn. App. 437 (1981) - Under the SMA, a home may be required to conform to a voluntary setback line established by adjacent homes if a location closer to the shore would detrimentally affect the aesthetics of the neighborhood and obstruct the view and reduce the value of the adjacent homes. The placing of a mobile home, the addition of a septic tank and drain field, and the construction of a deck within the 200-foot jurisdictional boundary of the SMA constituted a "development" under RCW 90.58.140(1). The prior location of plaintiff's homes on either side of defendant's lot created a voluntary setback to which defendant's development was required to conform.
Public benefit doctrine
Portage Bay-Roanoke Park Comm'ty Council v. Shorelines Hearings Bd., 92 Wn.2d 1 (1979) - Any common-law public benefit doctrine this state may have had prior to 1971 has been superseded and the SMA is the present declaration of that doctrine.
Conflict between SMA and building code
Dep't of Ecology v. Pacesetter Constr. Co., 89 Wn.2d 203 (1977) - The SMA is a state statute of general application basically intended for the protection of the environment rather than the quality of construction, and, to the extent of any conflict between a city building code and SMA, the latter must govern.
Vesting under SMAA right to a permit required by the Shoreline Management Act vests upon the application for such permit.
Talbot v. Gray, 11 Wn. App. 807 (1974), review denied, 85 Wn.2d 1001 (1975) - This rule, of course, assumes that the permit applied for and granted be consistent with the shoreline plan and regulations in force at the time of application for the permit.

Voodoo Doll Blamed For Mass Possession in Nicaragua
Paul Seaburn March 9, 2017
The Ministry of Health in Nicaragua is working to help officials in a small village in Nicaragua deal with over 30 residents who claim they have been "possessed by the devil" which many believe came to one of them in a voodoo doll. This is not the first time a mass "possession" has occurred in this area – it happens so often that it's been given the name "grisi siknis" which means "crazy sickness." Is it a demonic possession, an illness, mass hysteria or something else?
According to a spokesperson for Rosario Murillo, the Vice President of Nicaragua (yes, the problem is that serious), this latest outbreak of "grisi siknis" was first reported on February 10 in the community of Raití in Alto Wangki. A small number of residents reportedly suffered convulsions and hallucinations and many ran until they fainted, waking up later remembering nothing. All reportedly are stabilized and recovering.
Villagers taking a victim for help
The crazy sickness, also referred to as "collective insanity," then moved to Santo Tomás de Umbra, where Murillo's spokesperson said the outbreak was far more serious.
The outbreak of collective insanity is the second detected in the last four weeks . In the community of Santo Tomás de Umbra there have been 27 cases of indigenous people with delusions and shouts .
The indigenous people are the Miskito Indians who believe that grisi siknis starts with an evil spirit. Those affected show signs of nausea, anxiety, dizziness, irrational anger, periods of 'rapid frenzy' (running around) and visions of spirits and demons. They believe the demon moves from person to person when the affected one says the name of another. A traditional healer in Santo Tomás named Marisella has reportedly been treating the "possessed" with unnamed medicines poured on the victims' back and claims she found the original source of the grisi siknis – a voodoo doll with a black ribbon and a cross marked on its face.
Nicaraguan Vice President Rosario Murillo
The Health Ministry would prefer that those affected see medical professionals and blames this repeated mass hysteria (it also occurred in 2014, 2009 and 2003) on the native shamans themselves for spreading the stories of evil spirits. Unfortunately, the native Miskitos are susceptible to the "collective insanity" because they suffer from extreme collective poverty.
The residents of Santo Tomás de Umbra who haven't yet shown symptoms of the grisi siknis have burned the voodoo doll. Perhaps they should have sent it to the vice president in return for help dealing with their crazy sickness called poverty.

Co-founder Gerrit Braun said Thursday the idea for the wall arose after staff discussed whether the U.S. display needed changing to reflect "current developments."
Braun said the wall wasn't meant to represent U.S. President Donald Trump's promised concrete barrier along the border with Mexico. Instead, it was intended to encourage visitors to think about what happens "when we build ideological walls around our countries."

Your bargaining team met with the company today. The company is intent on more than doubling healthcare costs, segregating employees effectively bargaining away the core contract and offering no quota relief in the sales environment. This corporation has also made it clear that they are not interested in improving safety procedures and work rules that will help to increase family time for employees. AT&T posted adjusted revenues of over $131 Billion in 2014 and has yet to propose any wage increase, leaving employees to incur a substantial net loss.
The company had the audacity to say we weren't serious about bargaining or getting a contract because we will not surrender to their quixotic demands. If you look at the facts objectively, it is simple to understand who is not serious. Make sure your Local has your current contact information.

Q: Implement Objective c protocol in Swift I have this protocol in a objective c class:
@protocol YTManagerDelegate <NSObject>
@required
- (void)uploadProgressPercentage:(int)percentage;
@end
...

and a swift class connected to it:
class YTShare: UIViewController, YTManagerDelegate{

    func uploadProgressPercentage(percentage:Int?){
        println(percentage)
    }
    ...

I receive the error: type YTShare does not conform to protocol YTShareDelegate, I have probably write incorrectly the swift function so the obj class don't find it. How I can write it correctly?

A: There are two errors in the delegate method
func uploadProgressPercentage(percentage:Int?){
    println(percentage)
}

The parameter must not be an optional, and the C type int is mapped to Swift
as CInt (an alias for Int32):
func uploadProgressPercentage(percentage:CInt){
    println(percentage)
}

Alternatively, you could use NSInteger in the Objective-C protocol, which is
mapped to Int in Swift. This would be a 32-bit or 64-bit integer, depending
on the architecture, whereas int/CInt is always 32-bit.

The present times are worse than at the time of Noah
A girl in the Ukraine was reportedly told by the Blessed Mother that, "The present times are worse than at the time of Noah. Then the world was scourged by a deluge of water; now the world is going to be scourged by a deluge of fire." (Apparition of Our Lady to Anna at Seredne, December 20, 1954).
Many prophecies of recent years have referred to terrible damage which will result from fire and lightning. After the Great Flood, God promised that He would not destroy the world again by water - although this does not mean that no country or region will suffer from extensive floods or tidal waves. It means that God will not permit the entire world to be destroyed by a worldwide flood. But we read in 2 Peter 3: 3-7, that: "..in the last days scoffers will come to scoff, living according to their own desires and saying, 'Where is the promise of his coming? From the time when our ancestors fell asleep, everything has remained as it was from the beginning of creation.' They deliberately ignore the fact that the heavens existed of old and earth was formed out of water and through water by the word of God; through these the world that then existed was destroyed, deluged with water. The present heavens and earth have been reserved by the same word for fire, kept for the day of judgment and of destruction of the godless."
If we are spiritually awake and able to look behind the deceptive facade of our society, we quickly discern that while we may look civilized [and some of us really are], our barbarism is every bit as real and every bit as evil as that of the hordes of Genghis Khan or the Third Reich. Like the Nazis, we attempt to cloak the genocide we commit [ the genocide of abortion] in euphemistic terminology. The Nazis referred to their genocide of the Jewish People as the "Final Solution." We refer to our genocide of the unborn as "reproductive freedom" and "choice" in a satanic effort to legitimize the killing of these innocents.
We believe that God will continue to bless America as we slaughter the innocents and disregard His Commandments. Our Lady said at Fatima that, "The sin that leads most souls to hell are sins of the flesh." This is why Our Lady asked the three children at Fatima to do penances which were very difficult for their age, in order to help save souls. And this after she showed them a vision of fiery Hell, with souls falling into it like snowflakes but burning as embers. It is most significant that Our Lady said this at a time when the revolution against sexual purity and morality was nothing like it is today. Think on that for a moment. Think very carefully what it portends for our present day world which Our Lady described as being "worse than at the time of Noah."
If things are really that bad [and they are, we have Our Lady's word on it as well as our own spiritual senses - if they are still awake], why is it that so many of our priests are remaining silent? When we consider the genocide of abortion and other sins associated with lust: contraception, fornication, self-mutilation, incest, child abuse, homosexuality, lesbianism, pornography and other unnatural practices such as bestiality, the facade begins to crumble and we begin to realize that Our Lady is right. Our time is worse than at the time of Noah.
Pope St. Pius X, a Pope who possessed many charismatic gifts, said that, "The present wickedness of the world is only the beginning of sorrows which must take place before the end of the world. Humanity is in the grip of a supreme crisis." What will be the fate of those who refuse the Mercy of God* and who prefer to live according to their own desires? In the words of Blessed Anna Maria Taigi, "All the enemies of the Church, known and unknown, will perish all over the world during the universal darkness, with the exception of a few who will be converted."
* "Let the greatest sinners place their trust in My mercy. They have the right before others to trust in the abyss of My mercy. My daughter, write about My mercy towards tormented souls. Souls that make an appeal to My mercy delight Me. To such souls I grant even more graces than they ask. I cannot punish even the greatest sinner if he makes an appeal to My compassion, but on the contrary, I justify him in My unfathomable and inscrutable mercy. Write: before I come as a just Judge, I first open wide the door of My mercy. He who refuses to pass through the door of My mercy must pass through the door of My justice..." (Our Lord to St. Faustina, Divine Mercy in My Soul, 1146).
Labels: Apostasy, Chastisement, Deluge, Faustina, Fire, Mercy, Noah
At an apparition site which is APPROVED BY THE CHURCH, Our Lady told Sister Agnes Sasagawa:
"As I told you, if men do not repent and better themselves, the Father will inflict a terrible punishment on all humanity. It will be a punishment greater than the deluge, such as one will never seen before. Fire will fall from the sky and will wipe out a great part of humanity, the good as well as the bad, sparing neither priests nor faithful. The survivors will find themselves so desolate that they will envy the dead. The only arms which will remain for you will be the Rosary and the Sign left by My Son. Each day recite the prayers of the Rosary. With the Rosary, pray for the Pope, the bishops and priests...
The work of the devil will infiltrate even into the Church in such a way that one will see cardinals opposing cardinals, bishops against bishops. The priests who venerate me will be scorned and opposed by their confreres...churches and altars sacked; the Church will be full of those who accept compromises and the demon will press many priests and consecrated souls to leave the service of the Lord.
The demon will be especially implacable against souls consecrated to God. The thought of the loss of so many souls is the cause of my sadness. If sins increase in number and gravity, there will be no longer pardon for them...
With courage, speak to your superior. He will know how to encourage each one of you to pray and to accomplish works of reparation."

19, 2016, citing irreconcilable differences and requesting primary custody of the kids.
It took about five months to be on speaking terms again, but the dust settled and up rose a tentative co-parenting arrangement and a lot of soul-searching."Well, there's a lot to tell [the kids] because there's understanding the future, there's understanding the immediate moment and why we're at this point, and then it brings up a lot of issues from the past that we haven't talked about," Pitt said in The late '80s alone for him would make up the entirety of most people's entire dating portfolio.
She told me that she had fallen in love with the director of the film.
I was so shocked I said, 'I'm outta here.'" Love works in mysterious ways. The ink on Givens' divorce from Mike Tyson wouldn't be dry until that February, however, and the disgraced boxing champ later recalled seeing Pitt toking away when he came across him at his estranged wife's house one morning—where Tyson says his intent was to have a quickie while on his way to see his divorce lawyer."She drives up with the handsome Brad Pitt," he said while telling the story, then a sample anecdote from his one-man show, on in 2012.
He's not wining and dining fellow A-listers at paparazzi-magnet hot spots, or otherwise going on splashy outings.
He'll get back out there eventually, but after what he's been through, it feels safe to guess that he'll keep any new romance close to the vest.
Perhaps most of all, as he talked about in his epic star has been busy working on himself.
He's focusing on promoting his new movie and reconnecting with friends.
I wasn't ready, and he was too good for me."Moreover, her dad, Bruce Paltrow, was "devastated" when they broke up. " The story goes that Jen met Brad in 1998 on a blind date set up by their agents.
There are no divorces in my family either—and in his either, so this is not something—we've been together for quite some time, so this is not a rash decision," Gwyneth convincingly told about their engagement.
But in June 1997, they broke up."When two people aren't supposed to be together, they're not supposed to be together," a defiant Paltrow said in 1998.
in 1996, Brad thanked Gwyneth, his "angel, the love of my life," and he proposed that December.
They even had matching haircuts at one point."I take the institution extremely seriously.

Sam Lodge is the gal behind the nutritional website Be Well and Wander. Sam is a nutritional therapist, who decided to combine her two passions: empowering women to be in control of their health and getting to travel the world while doing it! She helps women learn some pretty cool stuff about their bodies and how to become besties with it. She knows that there is no one-size fits all ticket to perfect health, but she gives women tools to make the best choices for their bodies. I was absolutely fan girling throughout our whole conversation because, you guys, this is really important stuff to be talking about. In this episode Sam talks about cycle syncing, listening to your body, and creating sustainable routines.
The idea of cycle syncing was first introduced to Sam when she got off of birth control and started having horrible symptoms including acne, weight gain, and body odor. She was told that there was nothing to be done to combat her symptoms so she joined the conversation that was starting among women in similar situations about using diet and lifestyle to reverse hormonal imbalance. Sam is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to this stuff and I can't wait for you to hear all of the different tools she provides to help other women so just that!
One of my favorite things that Sam says in this episode is this: Symptoms are like a foreign language that we have not been taught how to speak. Sam says that her work as a nutritional therapist is to work as an interpreter and give women tools to understand their symptoms and what their bodies are telling them. Sam explains how learning to listen to your body can bring yourself back into balance and harmony. I love it when she says, it was really empowering to see that I could take control of my body for myself and that I didn't need to be on the pill every day. The sad reality is that the birth control pill covers up symptoms so that women aren't aware of them. In this episode Sam talks all about things women can do to stay healthy on the pill and explains how you can actually give your body what it needs and treat your symptoms without it.
I love it when Sam says that one of the first things she tells her clients ins the 80/20 rule : you eat well 80% of the time so you can enjoy 20% of the time (because who wants to live to 100 without cake in their lives?!) Sam shares, life is meant to be enjoyed. If you can build healthy habits, you take out the mental effort from being healthy. I completely agree with Sam that slowly building longterm solutions leads to sustainable change. You can start with changing up just one thing. Sam also has the great reminder to focus on the things that make you feel good! She says, figure out what works for you and from there try to be really intentional about what you want your life to look like.
This episode is jam packed with amazing tools for you to apply to your health. I hope you feel like this episode is just the beginning of more understanding of our complex and wonderful bodies!


A truly spectacular day! I always find Central London a challenging place to work, but Kim & Tim (and all their guests) made it a pleasure.

Q: How use Scroll magic in React JS I have a page with React js and I want use scroll magic to make a waterfall animation where a bottle rotates when you scroll down.
Like this: https://cockta.eu/en/#new_look_legendary_taste
but I can not find any doc of how to use scroll magic in react js, the most I could find was the example of someone who, like me, does not work.
This is my code but nothing happens.
Please help me, I do not know how to advance in this
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import logo from './logo.svg';
import ScrollMagic from 'scrollmagic';
import $ from 'jquery';
import './App.css';

 class App extends Component {

   componentDidMount() { // wait for document ready
      var controller;
     $(document).ready(function($) {
    // init controller
     var controller = new ScrollMagic.Controller();
 });

 $(document).ready(function($) {
    function updateBox (e) {
      if (e.type == "enter") {
       ("#pin p").text("Pinned.") ;
      } else {
     ("#pin p").text("Unpinned.");
   }
 }
 // build scenes
 new ScrollMagic.Scene({triggerElement: "#trigger", duration: 150})
   .setPin("#pin")
   .setClassToggle("#pin", "green")
   .on("enter leave", updateBox)
   .addIndicators() // add indicators (requires plugin)
   .addTo(controller);

 new ScrollMagic.Scene({triggerElement: "#trigger", duration: 150, offset: 300})
   .setPin("#pin")
   .setClassToggle("#pin", "green")
   .on("enter leave", updateBox)
   .addIndicators() // add indicators (requires plugin)
   .addTo(controller);

 new ScrollMagic.Scene({triggerElement: "#trigger", duration: 150, offset: 600})
   .setPin("#pin")
   .setClassToggle("#pin", "green")
   .on("enter leave", updateBox)
   .addIndicators() // add indicators (requires plugin)
   .addTo(controller);
  });
// init controller

// show pin state

  }

  render() {
   return (

Welcome to React

      To get started, edit src/App.js and save to reload.

Unpinned.

        view source

   );
  }
}

A: First of all, you should not use jQuery inside your react app. You also don't need the $(document).ready() inside your componentDidMount function, because if this  function get call, the document will always be ready.
I never worked with ScrollMagic before, but here is a "clean up" version of your code like I would do it "the react way":

Attention: Code is not tested!

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import logo from './logo.svg';
import ScrollMagic from 'scrollmagic';
import './App.css';

class App extends Component {

    constructor(props) {
        super(props);
        this.controller = new ScrollMagic.Controller();
        this.state = {
            pinText: 'Unpinned.'
        };
    }

    componentDidMount() {

        // build scenes
        new ScrollMagic.Scene({triggerElement: "#trigger", duration: 150})
            .setPin("#pin")
            .setClassToggle("#pin", "green")
            .on("enter leave", this.updateBox)
            .addIndicators() // add indicators (requires plugin)
            .addTo(this.controller);

        new ScrollMagic.Scene({triggerElement: "#trigger", duration: 150, offset: 300})
            .setPin("#pin")
            .setClassToggle("#pin", "green")
            .on("enter leave", this.updateBox)
            .addIndicators() // add indicators (requires plugin)
            .addTo(this.controller);

        new ScrollMagic.Scene({triggerElement: "#trigger", duration: 150, offset: 600})
            .setPin("#pin")
            .setClassToggle("#pin", "green")
            .on("enter leave", this.updateBox)
            .addIndicators() // add indicators (requires plugin)
            .addTo(this.controller);

    }

    updateBox = (e) => {
        let newPinText = '';
        if (e.type === "enter") {

The Trigger
On the morning of July 6th 2005, Sabir Bham stood at Liverpool Street Station in the heart of the City of London. Later that day, Trafalgar Square, just a few miles away, would erupt in celebration as the capital was revealed as the host of the 2012 Olympic Games. Exactly 24 hours later, a Circle Line train travelling from Liverpool Street would erupt under the explosion of the first of four bombs planted on tube trains and a bus in London, by extremists acting falsely under the guise of Islam. In two days, two events that would shape the next seven year's of Bham's life occurred.
Over the following weeks, a number of high-profile arrests of residents were made in his local borough of Waltham Forest in relation to the attacks. The situation continued to remain bleak; in the aftermath of the attacks, Bham was invited to Downing Street as a reward for outstanding community work. However, due to the negative representation of British Muslims, fellow Londoners showed visible distress as Bham entered the tube carriage on his way to the reception. At this very moment, Bham knew that change was needed. Salaam Peace was set up by Bham following discussions with the Metropolitan Police Service, the Home office, social business Catch 22, and community groups to support the implementation of the Government's Prevent Violent Extremism Agenda in East London.
Initially set up to change the perception of British Muslims, Salaam Peace has evolved into a wider community engagement programme. Our portfolio of programmes takes place in Waltham Forest, Hackney and Haringey, engaging children from age 3 to adults in their 60s, using sport to tackle socio-cultural issues.
Salaam Peace deliver projects including school and college-based programmes, evening/weekend/holiday sessions, sports teams, community events, outreach programmes, female-only sessions, disability-only sessions and more.
After hearing Yusuf Islam (formerly Cat Stevens) speak about using his music to promote positive images of Islam I thought I would do the same through sport. For me, sport is a great way to bring people together, develop friendships and build respect. I have seen the positive impact of our work and seen others use our, so-called, philosophy or way of working, to then go on and work with other people. Seeing challenging individuals develop into fantastic young adults has been the biggest satisfaction.
Sabir BhamFounder & CEO- Salaam Peace
Salaam Peace is a remarkable example of how a person's determination to promote the universal values of peaceful coexistence and social justice has resulted in a reality that has been transforming lives in East London for many years. A window of opportunity for all to engage in and bring change to the causes we feel more passionate about in the spirit of mutual respect and inclusivity. As Sab's former university tutor and mentor, I am particularly proud of his achievements, based on investing further in the learning experience he gained while he was my student.

Skin Tyte™ is a non-invasive treatment that uses targeted infrared energy to give you firmer, younger-looking skin. Skin Tyte™ can help tighten lax skin, smooth fine lines and wrinkles, reduce skin redness and improve the appearance of sun-damaged skin.
How does Skin Tyte™ Work?
Skin Tyte™ uses pulsed, broadband light technology to heat the dermal collagen deep within the skin in order to reduce laxity and tighten the tissue. This targeted deep heating helps to stimulate the body's own natural healing process and promote the production of new, tighter strands of collagen. At the same time the deep layers of skin are being heated, the outer layer of the skin is cooled for maximum patient comfort.
What areas can be treated with Skin Tyte™?
Safe for all skin types, Skin Tyte™ can be used to help tighten skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in many different areas. The most common areas to treat include the face, neck, abdomen and arms.
Is the Skin Tyte™ Treatment Comfortable?
Yes! The Skin Tyte™ treatment is fast and comfortable. During treatment, the outer layer of skin is simultaneously cooled for maximum comfort. There is no need for a topical anesthetic.
There's no downtime with Skin Tyte™. Patients can return to their normal activities immediately following treatment *.
For the best results, we usually recommend three to five Skin Tyte™ treatments.
How do I get started with Skin Tyte™?

Fairfax, VA Outdoor lighting
In addition to offering more uniform, targeted illumination, Cree's LED lighting solution provides George Mason University with a highly-efficient exterior lighting system that works toward its long-term sustainability goals.
George Mason University is rapidly evolving from its roots as a Northern Virginia regional college into a nationally recognized leader, now globally ranked among the top 200 world universities. The university's development has been marked by rapid growth and innovative planning that includes the revolutionary concept of the "distributed" university with multiple campuses.
In 2007, George Mason University's President Alan Merten signed the American College and University Presidents Climate Commitment (ACUPCC). Since then, the University developed and began implementing an organizational and decision-making structure for sustainability: the Executive Steering Committee for Sustainability, the Sustainability Council and Sustainability Working Groups. Each of these groups has a different purpose and goals, but together ensure the vertical and horizontal integration of sustainability activities with the entire campus community.
In addition to the ACUPCC, George Mason University actively pursues creative methods to reduce energy use, requiring all agencies of the Commonwealth to monitor, report and reduce energy costs and consumption for all state-owned facilities through a comprehensive energy plan.
In 2009, surveys were conducted to evaluate potential facility improvements across the three George Mason University campuses. The University decided that two campuses — Fairfax and Prince William — would retrofit high pressure sodium exterior lighting with state-of-the-art Cree® LED luminaires in the roadway, walkway and parking lots.
The main campus — located on 677 acres in Fairfax, Virginia — houses all university administrative offices and includes the Patriot Center, a 113,900-square-foot recreation sports complex. In addition to illuminating the entry area to the Patriot Center, Cree luminaires are installed in the K lot — George Mason University's largest general parking lot across the street from the Center.
Area luminaires are also installed along pathways that wind through heavily-wooded areas of the campus, which greatly improves visibility and security. A second installation at the Prince William campus in Manassas, Virginia, includes parking lot and pathway lighting.
Between the two locations, the installation of 1,140 area and bollard luminaires provides greatly reduced energy consumption and costs while dramatically improving lighting performance and virtually eliminating maintenance. The time and money saved on re-lamping are now redirected to other campus needs.
The Cree® LED lighting solution provides George Mason University with a highly-efficient exterior lighting system that works toward its long-term sustainability goals. Additionally, the Cree LED luminaires provide more uniform, targeted illumination that improves nighttime visibility for students and faculty.
"The parking and pathway lights have produced numerous comments on the dramatic improvement," said Pat Buchanan, Mason's energy manager. "Security is very pleased with the increased visibility, true color rendering and uniform lighting that help reduce accidents and crime."
And the savings speak for themselves:
• Over 1,951 megawatt-hours annual electrical energy savings
• Anticipated annual energy cost savings over $92,000
• Estimated annual maintenance cost savings over $42,000
The lighting upgrades were identified through detailed surveys of the existing systems. Trial fixtures were installed in multiple locations, giving George Mason University the opportunity to ensure that the lighting system replacements would meet with University standards for outdoor lighting in all applications.

Interview with Chris Boyd about his new film "The First Padres"
By jbox Jul 3, 2012, 10:54pm PDT
Share All sharing options for: Interview with Chris Boyd about his new film "The First Padres"
This is the WORLD PREMIERE of the newest trailer for "The First Padres". It's an independent film documentary by Chris Boyd about how professional baseball was born in San Diego in the form of the PCL Padres. Watching it now gives me goose bumps. It also makes my eyes water. And I admit I'm a little hungry too, but that could be unrelated to the trailer.
LET'S WATCH!
First Padres - Trailer 2012 from Chris Boyd on Vimeo.
We were fortunate enough to be able to talk to Chris about his project. Let's slide in...
So how did the idea to make this film come about?
I wanted to make a film about my city, San Diego, and I was always searching out a topic that I thought would be worthwhile. I can't even remember exactly how I came across the fact that there was a minor league team called the Padres, but once I did I started to dig deeper and found that there were decades of history that people in my generation know nothing about. I also enjoy baseball and San Diego sports, so as I gathered information and realized there was enough for a feature film, it made sense to go forward and make this my first film about my hometown.
Most San Diegans probably have a very rudimentary knowledge of the PCL Padres. What sorts of things will they learn from your film?
Pretty much everybody I've spoken to about this film and this subject have known nothing about the PCL. We're now more than 40 years removed from the PCL in San Diego, even though the league still exists and the Padres have an affiliate in it. So I know that people will learn a lot from this film. They will learn how professional baseball came to exist here when the PCL moved a franchise in, and how two stadiums that no longer exist were built just for baseball: Lane Field, by the bay on Harbor Drive; and Westgate Park, where Fashion Valley is today. They will learn how the minor leagues operated in California before the major leagues arrived. They will hear stories of some of the colorful characters that populated professional sports before it became as lucrative as it is now. And I think most importantly they will see that the PCL Padres evolved along with the city – the team was a reflection of San Diego as it grew, and there was a tremendous following for the team here. I think a lot of people will be shocked just to know that there was a ballpark right on the bay for more than 20 years, and that PETCO Park isn't even unique in San Diego in that respect.
A project of this scope must have come with many challenges. What sort of unexpected issues did you run into?
This has been the biggest film I've undertaken, and it is always challenging to produce a film on your own. I've been really lucky to meet some great people who have helped make it a reality. The toughest part was working the film into my life – as an independent filmmaker doing this project on my own with no backing, I've still had to make a living while making the film in my free time. Shooting, writing, editing - it all takes a lot of time and there is so much that goes into a feature film. But outside of the time constraints, I think that the biggest unexpected issue was keeping the film down to a good running time! I found so much great information and such a comprehensive story, that when it came time to write the movie there was a lot of material and I initially wanted a film that is much longer than what I have now. So cutting it down to the core of the story was a challenge, but I know it was good in the end for the quality of the film. Being able to trust that I had enough to tell a compelling story only came with time.
With the challenges undoubtedly came some very rewarding moments. Can you tell us about those?
Stepping into Bobby Doerr's home in Oregon to interview him, seeing a room full of unbelievable baseball memorabilia from the 1920's onward including bats signed by Ted Williams and original programs from the Red Sox in the 1930's…that's the kind of moment that makes all of the hard work worthwhile. For a baseball fan, having the chance to talk to this man in his 90's who has seen so much of the game and has forgotten more than most of us will ever know – it doesn't get much better than that. It was a real highlight to speak with him and not something I'll ever forget. He couldn't have been a nicer or more gracious man, and his recall of his time in San Diego more than 75 years ago was just astounding.
Then there was the discovery of some incredible archival footage. An old PCL promotional film surfaced, with some amazing scenes of the Padres in the 1940's. Whitey Witeleman, a Padre in the 1950's, also shot some 8mm footage, of which only a few clips have surfaced over the years. With the scope of my film, I was able to incorporate more of that material than has been seen publicly. I also found some home movies shot at Westgate Park that have not been seen by anyone. When I started making the film I had a wishlist that included game footage at these parks, and when something from Westgate actually materialized it was a fantastic moment because I was looking at something that has been lost to our city for a long time and I knew I would have a chance to share it.
How involved was Padres Historian Bill Swank in the making of the film?
Bill has been instrumental, and that's why he is an Associate Producer of the project. The first thing I read about the PCL in San Diego was one of his books, and I found his phone number and called him out of the blue. He is the only expert on the subject of baseball in San Diego, so I knew that he would have to be a part of the film if I was going to have any credibility. Documentary filmmakers can't be experts in every subject that we choose to explore, and we have to find people like Bill who are passionate about what they know. We talked for awhile during that first conversation, and he told me that over the years a few people had expressed interest in making a film like this and there had been the odd segment produced here and there by some TV channels. But nobody had ever told the story on film that he had been telling in his books: that the Padres as we know them now are part of a legacy of baseball in our city, one that stretches back nearly 150 years.
So I don't think Bill believed my intentions at first, especially when he saw I was just some 25 year old kid who thought the Padres started with Tony Gwynn and Fred McGriff some time in the early 90's and only ever played at Jack Murphy Stadium. But I told him I wanted to interview him and some players, if possible, to put together a short teaser for a proposed larger film – the idea being to see if I could drum up some interest. When I showed up with all of my equipment he saw I was serious, and he put me in touch with players and helped me set up interviews.
That first phone call was in 2009, and from the three years since I'm happy to say that I now call Bill a friend and I'll always be indebted to him for his help on this project. He gave me access to photos, clippings, videos, and stories that I could never find anywhere else. But most importantly he connected me to players and made it possible for me to capture some of these men on film. Bill's best-known book is "Echoes From Lane Field" and it is a collection of interviews that he put together over many years of work. I like to think that a part of my film is a continuation of that, because the interviews with these players are the center of the film and the heart of the story. So without Bill, there would be no film, and I couldn't have asked for a better way into this whole world of history. He's an outgoing, gregarious, and very knowledgeable guy who I've been lucky enough to spend a lot of time with and I hope this film will mean as much to him as it does to me.
Bob Chandler is the perfect pick to narrate the film. How did he come on board?
Bob Chandler is another connection that I have Bill Swank to thank for, as the two of them have been friends for quite some time. Bill suggested Bob when I mentioned I would love to have a broadcaster do the narration. I feel like a big part of watching baseball - at least in my life because I've watched more baseball on television than I have in person – is having the presence of a broadcaster with you. I think that around the country, you will find a lot of baseball fans who wouldn't be able to watch games without their favorite announcer. It's a contemplative game and there is time to fill, 162 games a year, so baseball broadcasters have a unique presence in our minds when we watch games. If you watch an entire season, you really live with a broadcaster day in and day out. So I wanted to conjure that feeling with the narration of the film, and there was no better way than with Bob Chandler. I think he has a great voice, and it's a voice that the people of our city know and cherish, so I think I couldn't have asked for a better narrator. He was a pleasure to work with and I was amazed by how he could take a look at what I wrote and nail it on the first take. He made my life easier.
How many of the former players did you interview?
I conducted interviews with Ed Erautt, Rudy Regalado, Bobby Doerr, Bill Glynn, and Rod Graber, which covered players from the very first Padres team at Lane Field all the way to the teams playing in Westgate Park in the late 50's and include infielders, an outfielder, and a pitcher. I was also able to conduct interviews with family members of three other players – the daughter and granddaughter of Johnny Ritchey, the sister of Nay Hernandez, and the son of Wally Hebert. They all contributed valuable insights into these players and their time in San Diego. Additionally, I interviewed Bill Swank at length and San Diego historian Rick Crawford, along with longtime Morse High football coach John Shacklett who was an avid Padres fan at both Lane Field and Westgate Park. Together, it is a tremendous oral history of baseball in San Diego.
When will fans be able to see the finished product?
The film is finished, so I'm looking into different possibilities and finding the best way to release it. I would love to have the film in a theater at a film festival or on TV – whatever is the best way to share it with the most San Diegans is what I'm most interested in. So while I don't know for sure, I'm hoping that people can see it later this year, ideally before baseball season is over, and that it is a film people can watch for a lot of years to come because the history it covers and the story it tells matters to our city.
Thanks Chris!

CAMDEN Assembly's commitment to fostering promising new acts culminates in a new festival that is due to take place throughout the month of August.
Following the success of the venue's Spotlight Series in January, the Assembly introduces Jigsaw Festival, promising to be "a multi-artist, multi-genre spectacle, playing host to tomorrow's rising stars".
It will host a line-up of carefully selected up-and-coming acts, chosen by curators and influencers including Live Nation, HOT VOX, BBC 1Xtra's DJ Ace, iLuvLive, Ticketmaster, Scruff Of The Neck, Glastonbury and Boomtown stages, as well as six nights from The Playmaker Group (The PMG).
Debbie Gayle, event manager for production and management company The PMG, said the organisation had become involved after narrowly missing the date for putting artists forward to play Spotlight earlier this year.
"The festival was brought about by James Anniballi, who does all the bookings for Camden Assembly," she said.
"In January, Camden Assembly had a very successful season of Spotlight shows. Off the back of that they created Jigsaw Festival, as a sort of a stepping stone for acts who are on the way to the major festivals next summer.
The PMG, which specialises in various aspects of the music and entertainment business including artist and DJ representation, often aims to introduce artists from across the UK.
Arts company Punch have selected five emerging artists making waves in their local music scene and will visit each act's home city on tour, with each date being headlined by the artist from that respective city. East London headliner Jerome will be joined by Birmingham's Lady Sanity, Liverpool's MC Nelson, Southampton's SVGA and Manchester's Vanessa Maria.
Debbie said: "Three of our events have been curated by Caribbean brand Bruk Out, fronted by BBC Radio 1Xtra's Seani B. It's a record label in partnership with Universal and a monthly event. We have strong presence at Notting Hill Carnival – that will be showcased at one of the Bruk Out events.
Faced with a month of gigs to choose from, Debbie picked out her own recommendations.
The PMG's dates at the Jigsaw Festival are as follows: International dancehall icon Spragga Benz & Friends – Benz launches album Chiliagon after working with a wealth of British artists including Rodney P, Doc Brown and Illaman (August 8); LIMF Academy Showcase featuring Gazelle, Mary Miller, Remee + guests (August 9); Playmaker Presents… XamVolo & SubBlue – showcasing some of the emerging talent on the PMG roster (August 10); Bashment/Dancehall from BrukOut Meets internationally renowned Soca sound system Flagz Sound Live – Notting Hill Carnival preview (August 11); Welcome to My City with Punch Records (August 30); BrukOut's 2nd Birthday Bash (August 31).
There are Jigsaw Festival gigs slated for every day in August pulled together by a range of different curators, some of which are free with advanced booking, so check out the listings asap.
