Emily woke. On her night table, a letter was propped against her grandfather's picture. Her name was printed in pencil crayon the way only her grandfather did it, with each letter a different colour. He was always so kind and funny and silly...and now he was gone. Carefully, she picked up the envelope and opened it.... A heartfelt new picture book from bestselling children's author Eric Walters (From the Heart of Africa) and Halifax-based artist Carloe Liu. In this poignant story, we follow young Emily who has recently lost her grandfather. As she grows, she discovers a series of letters he left behind for her, offering grandfatherly advice at life's most pivotal moments: first day of high school, graduation day, wedding, and ending with the birth of her own child. With gentle watercolours and fold-out letters for sharing with loved ones, Always With You is a timeless story about grief, growing up, and finding that those we love never truly leave us.

Sam has to share a room with his disruptive and all-around undesirable big brother, and he is not happy about it. One night, when Sam hears about the president's plans to build a border wall, it inspires what Sam thinks is a perfectly reasonable solution to his own problem: he needs to build a wall, too. Told as a series of letters addressed to the president, the story shows Sam working through his thoughts and feelings about his plan to build a dividing wall in his bedroom. He debates pros and cons, learns about other walls built through the ages, and slowly comes around to a new perspective as he begins to see that the best solutions involve communication, compromise, and negotiating ways to make things work. With an undertone of subtle humor, this story is at once a simple tale about a common gripe of siblinghood and a modern fable sure to spark conversations about tolerance, learning to live with others, and the importance of recognizing other points of view.

Chill, A Reassessment of Global Warming Theory: Does Climate Change Mean the World is Cooling, and If So What Should We Do About It?
Reveals a disturbing collusion of interests responsible for creating a distorted understanding of changes in global climate. This book concludes that the main driver of global warming has been an unprecedented combination of natural events.
Author Peter Taylor
Although the world's climate has undergone many cyclical changes, the phrase 'climate change' has taken on a sinister meaning, implying catastrophe for humanity, ecology and the environment. We are told that we are responsible for this threat, and that we should act immediately to prevent it. But the apparent scientific consensus over the causes and effects of climate change is not what it appears. "Chill" is a critical survey of the subject by a committed environmentalist and scientist. Based on extensive research, it reveals a disturbing collusion of interests responsible for creating a distorted understanding of changes in global climate. Scientific institutions, basing their work on critically flawed computer simulations and models, have gained influence and funding. In return they have allowed themselves to be directed by the needs of politicians and lobbyists for simple answers, slogans and targets. The resulting policy - a 60 percent reduction of greenhouse-gas emissions by 2050 - would have a huge, almost unimaginable, impact upon landscape, community and biodiversity.
On the basis of his studies of satellite data, cloud cover, ocean and solar cycles, Peter Taylor concludes that the main driver of recent global warming has been an unprecedented combination of natural events. His investigations indicate that the current threat facing humanity is a period of cooling, as the cycle turns, comparable in severity to the Little Ice Age of 1400-1700 AD. The risks of such cooling are potentially greater than global warming and on a more immediate time scale, with the possibility of failing harvests leaving hundreds of millions vulnerable to famine. Drawing on his experience of energy policy and sustainability, Taylor suggests practical steps that should be taken now. He urges a shift away from mistaken policies that attempt to avert inevitable natural changes, to an adaptation to a climate that may turn significantly cooler.

Lemon Chess Pie from ThePieAcademy.com – a smooth-as-silk lemon custard pie that's fabulous on its own or with your favorite summer fruit.
What's your idea of the perfect summer pie? A glistening fresh strawberry pie with a hint of spice? A jumble of mixed berries in a flaky butter pastry? How about sweet peach, apricot, or nectarine?
They're all wonderful, aren't they? But there's another summer pie you should add to that list, not a fruit pie but one that any of your favorite summer fruits can happily share the spotlight with.
It's called lemon chess pie and if you're not already a fan, you soon will be.
Another clue to its southern roots is the cornmeal thickener, which gives this pie its unique texture. It's something like a cross between a lemon curd and light lemon custard, but with an ever-so-slight and agreeable graininess from the cornmeal. It's delectable – soft, sweet, and delicate.
The filling is unequivocally lemony, not unexpected in a pie that calls for lemon juice, lemon extract, and lemon zest. It's the smooth, silky lemon flavor that makes this such a good partner with virtually any summer fruit you care to serve it with, from blueberries – like we do here – to late summer peaches.
While we're on the subject of lemony things, if you're still messing with a box grater to remove zest you're using the equivalent of a stone age kitchen gadget. The larger holes of a box grater are fine for many cheeses. But the small holes – or, worse yet, the surface with those tiny raised perforations – tend to turn lemon zest into lemon goo, or inexplicably make it disappear altogether.
What you need is a tool called a Microplane Grater-Zester, like the one shown here (and available in most kitchenware stores.) You simply hold the lemon steady in one hand and slowly draw the business side of the Microplane across the surface. Tap the blade on your work surface, and out falls beautifully separate strands of zest. Works perfectly on hard cheeses, too.
One last thought: this is essentially a custard pie, so don't bake it above 350°. Custard-type pies don't like temps above that, but they'll do fine a little cooler – like 325° – if you're uncertain about your oven or the temperature fluctuates a little. Lower and slower is almost always safer and smarter where pie baking is concerned, especially when there are eggs in the filling. Enjoy!
Since announcing the details just ten days ago for our upcoming Lowcountry Pie Getaway in Charleston, South Carolina, quite a few of you have signed up so we're nearly half full. Many more of you have requested registration forms.
This is great news and, frankly, we expected an enthusiastic response from Pie Academy members and their families and friends. Charleston is the epicenter of irresistible regional cooking, so what better place to spend a long weekend baking pies in the company of new friends, surrounded by the beauty and charm of the south's Holy City?
If you'd like to receive a registration form, please let us know and we'll email one to you right away. If you already have a registration form but haven't returned it yet, we hope you'll do so as soon as possible and take advantage of our 'Early Pie Bird' pricing that ends June 17th. Like we said earlier, once we're full, we'll have to pull the plug on registrations in order to maintain the intimacy of our group and opportunities for individual attention and instruction.
One of the nicest surprises I've had running The Pie Academy is how many men I hear from, hobbyist bakers who dedicate a portion of every week or month to making pies from scratch. They often tell me that they relish this break from their weekday work.
If your own father happens to be a pie maker, we hope you'll consider gifting him with something from our Pie Academy store. An autographed copy of my bestselling book PIE would be a good start. Our embroidered aprons are always popular with pie makers, and our gorgeous cherry or maple engraved Pie Academy rolling pins perform like a charm. If you place your order by Tuesday, June 15, it should arrive in plenty of time for Father's Day.
And don't forget The No-More-Tears Pie Pastry Course, our video training that's helped more than a hundred Pie Academy members up their pie game. The great thing about this training is that you can watch the videos over and over, at your own pace, until you've mastered the essential pie making skills. It's the perfect gift for any pie maker. Thanks.
PASTRY NOTES: This pie is easy to make, but it's still refined and refreshingly subtle. So the filling goes best with a basic pastry that won't detract – or distract – from the filling. (This isn't the place to try out your new crunchy quinoa and caraway seed crust.) So stick with one of our old reliable pie crusts like Good Basic Pie Dough or Food Processor Pie Dough.
On a sheet of lightly floured wax paper, roll the dough into a 13-inch circle. Invert the pastry over a 9- or 9 1/2-inch deep-dish pie pan - the pan doesn't have to be overly deep, as there's a moderate amount of filling, not an overabundance - center it, then peel off the paper. Gently tuck the pastry into the pan without stretching it. Sculpt the overhanging dough into an upstanding ridge. Flute if desired, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Bake the shell on the center oven rack for 25 minutes. Slide it out and carefully lift out the foil and beans. Re-poke the holes if they've filled in. Slide the shell back in and bake another 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a rack and cool. (Once cooled, dab a little cream cheese on a fingertip and plug the holes to avoid leaks.) Set the oven to 350°.
Combine the sugar, cornmeal, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk to combine. Add the eggs and yolk. Whisk well. Whisk in the half-and-half or milk, melted butter, lemon juice, lemon zest, lemon extract, and vanilla extract. When the filling is smooth and thoroughly blended, slowly pour into the cooled pie shell.

Santa Cruz COE News
COE receives 2022 California Green Ribbon Schools award
Category: Featured Articles, Press Release
The California Department of Education today announced it has awarded the Santa Cruz County Office of Education (COE) with a 2022 California Green Ribbon Schools award for excellence in resource efficiency, health and wellness, and environmental and sustainability education.
The COE received the award at the Silver Recognition level. It is the sole county office of education to receive a 2022 California Green Ribbon Schools award, and has the distinction of earning the highest recognition level among California's 58 COEs to date.
"The Santa Cruz COE has a long history of serving as a hub for environmental literacy within our community, as well as taking on leadership roles in our state," said Santa Cruz County Superintendent of Schools Dr. Faris Sabbah. "We are deeply committed to advancing environmental literacy and stewardship, and we are honored by this recognition of the impactful work of our office and our partners."
Assisting districts and schools with providing environmental education and environmental literacy resources is a pillar of the COE's work. In recent years, the COE convened the Teacher Leadership Institute for Science and Environmental Literacy, supporting and enabling educators at all grade levels to embed field trips and locally relevant environmental topics into the classroom's standards-based curriculum. The COE also supports student leadership and advocacy through the Alliance for Youth Action, which includes the student-led group Youth for Environmental Action.
"Our county is unique in that we have been working with every district in the county to bring teacher leaders representing nearly every school site together with environmental educators," said Amity Sandage, Environmental Literacy Coordinator at the COE. "We share credit for this award with our districts and environmental education partners who have been essential to the success of these efforts."
For decades, the Santa Cruz COE has served as one of the state's 11 regional leads for the California Department of Education's CREEC (California Regional Environmental Education Community), providing districts and schools across four counties with access to environmental education and environmental literacy resources and training.
Currently, Santa Cruz COE serves on the Leadership Council of the California Environmental Literacy Initiative (CAELI), a public-private partnership between CA Dept of Education and Ten Strands Foundation working to implement strategies from the California Blueprint for Environmental Literacy. As a founding member of the CAELI County Office of Education Innovation Hub, Santa Cruz COE is a co-lead of the newly launched County Office of Education Environmental Literacy Community of Practice which offers support to the 58 county offices of education in the state to increase their capacity to support districts in providing equitable environmental education.
Over the past decade, the Santa Cruz COE has also accomplished a number of major greening efforts at its facilities, including:
Construction of a large ground mount solar array providing over half of the energy needs onsite at the COE's Santa Cruz headquarters
Completion of a comprehensive energy audit and replacement of all lighting fixtures to reduce energy use at all COE-owned sites
Installation of drip irrigation and drought tolerant landscaping
Review of all chemicals and cleaning products and the creation of new purchasing contracts to use 100% green certified cleaning supplies
Replacement of three vehicles in the COE fleet with hybrid vehicles for staff travel

I subscribe to Google Alerts and get notifications whenever something new pops up mentioning the CDT. I've been seeing a lot of blog entries lately which is a cool sign that people are talking about the CDT and spreading the word. Unfortunately some of the comments deal with the difficulty of getting the CDT up and running, especially on Windows.
So my plan is to bundle the Eclipse Platform and the CDT run-times with the MinGW gcc build tools and gdb debugger. I will bundle in SDL, Simple Directmedia Layer, as a library to start building multimedia apps. I may look at bundling wxWidgets for building traditional GUI apps. I will also look at bundling a JRE so users can get Eclipse up and running with minimal effort, although I'm not sure if the Sun redistributable license will let me do this with an open source app and I'm not sure what other options I have.
Unfortunately a bunch of these components are GPL and LGPL so I won't be able to release it from Eclipse itself given the IP rules. I'll also need to figure out how GPL affects the package and it would be very disappointing if it prevents me from doing this. Sourceforge is probably the best place for this. I plan on using the Nullsoft Installer since it seems to have the most flexibility in any of the other free Windows installer technologies and is used by other open source projects such as MinGW itself.
So I'm interested in peoples' opinions on this, if this is the right set of components for example. Is it worth my time putting together? The idea is to keep it simple so it doesn't take me too much time to start and keep up to date. But I think it'll be a boost to help new users get a start with the CDT, a Kickstart if you will.

Homily – John 13.1-17, 31b-35, MT, YA, April 13, 2017

In 1984, the gay community in London was seeing a lot of violence and oppression by not only the police, but also the community. In the midst of their own activism, one gay activist caught wind of the Coal Miners who were striking in Wales. Upon watching the violence of the police against the strikers, the activist realized their suffering was not unlike his own, and that of the gay community. And so, in an act of solidarity and love, he organized his gay community to raise funds to support the families of the striking miners.
But not everyone was on board. You see, the miners worked in small towns in which many members of the gay community had once lived. In those small communities, they had been bullied, taunted, and beaten. And now someone was asking them to come to their aid. Many in the gay community could not turn the other cheek. Why should they return hatred with love? And as the gay activists soon learned, their help would not be readily received. Why should the gay community risk further rejection, shame, and violence to support an oppressed people who could not see their commonality?
Jesus shares a meal with his disciples as he has done on so many occasions. Only on this night, he is among friend and foe. He knows Judas is about to betray him. He knows that Judas is about to put into motion a series of actions that cannot be stopped, that will lead to pain and suffering, and ultimately death. Looking into Judas' eyes, Jesus must have felt a betrayal so deep that he had to resist hatred as a human response. "How could you?" would be an easy question for Jesus to ask in this intimate moment.
But Jesus does not do that. He does not challenge Judas or reprimand or even expose Judas in front of the others directly. No, he takes off his outer robe, takes a bowl and a pitcher of water, and he washes the feet of everyone in that room – not just the feet of those whom he loves – which would have been a poignantly intimate moment anyway. But as he makes his way down the table, he shifts his bowl under the dusty feet of Judas; feet as dirty as the rest of them. He takes the feet of this betrayer of his trust and confidence, and he manages to love Judas as deeply as everyone else. Tenderly, lovingly, he washes the feet of the enemy of the worst kind – an enemy who was once a friend. Love in the face of betrayal.
This year, Jesus' tenderness with Judas has been haunting me. I do not know about you, but the last thing I want to do is tenderly, lovingly care for my enemy. Society teaches me to have a strong defense, to protect myself, to avoid conflict. The norm is not to kneel down before a betrayer of trust, to make oneself subservient, and lovingly treat someone who acts so hatefully. Only a fool makes himself vulnerable before the enemy. And yet, that is what Jesus does. That is how he shows the depths of his love. He does not use his power to thwart the enemy. He restrains his power to bring the enemy in – always with the offering of love that can transform any heart.
Tonight, we will engage in the tradition of washing others' feet. Many of us get caught up the squeamishness of feet and the vulnerability such intimacy involves. But something much bigger happens in foot washing than letting go of self-consciousness. In foot washing we enter into the love of Christ: washing the feet of those we know well and love; washing the feet of those we know only superficially; washing the feet of those who seem to have their lives totally together and those who we know are suffering; washing the feet of someone who has indeed offended you, and washing the feet of someone with whom you wish to reconcile.
But what we do literally here, we take out figuratively into the world. Washing the feet of someone you know, or even someone you do not know well in church is one thing. Washing the feet of the people who are not here is another thing entirely. Though Jesus' washed his disciples' feet, the inclusion of Judas suggests that loving one another cannot be limited to the community of believers.[i] All we have to do is imagine an actual enemy, someone who has betrayed our trust or offended our values, someone who oppresses the oppressed, and then we know how hard what Jesus does is tonight. Tonight, some powerful feelings are set loose: sorrow, loss, regret, even fear; but also some powerful feelings are set loose by Jesus: commitment, conviction, and determination. God lays aside everything tonight.[ii] Enter into Christ's love tonight through the example he sets for us. Know that God will use the power of this act to change your heart.
A year after that bold move by the gay community in London in the 1980s, much had happened. Horrible things were said, mean things were done, violence erupted, commitments were betrayed, and help was rejected. But a year later, even after ultimately losing their cause, the mineworkers did something out of character. Chapter after chapter of mineworkers loaded onto buses, came to London, and marched for gay rights with their new brothers and sisters. God's love has tremendous power. Even if that love cannot transform the heart of a Judas, the witness of that love slowly breaks through and transforms communities. Join us tonight as we start locally. Know that God will use your small action here to do bigger work out in the world! Amen.

Sermon – Philippians 3.17-4.1, L2, YC, February 24, 2013
Christ-like, example, imitate, Jesus, Paul, perfect, Sermon, teacher
When a person is ordained as a priest, they make a series of vows. One of the scariest ones for me was this question: Will you do your best to pattern your life and the life of your family in accordance with the teachings of Christ, so that you may be a wholesome example to your people? The question sounds simple enough: Will you be an example to others? But the question is anything but simple. The question asks whether the priest will shape their lives so that parishioners, neighbors, and the world will understand the teachings of Christ through the priest's life. And not only is the priest responsible, the whole family of the priest has to be an example. So when your three-year old is having a meltdown in Target, and your nerves are shot from a morning of similar tempter tantrums, and your spouse and you have argued about discipline, you and your family are supposed to be emanating Christ in Target.
Of course, the priest is not the only one who is supposed to be living a Christ-like life. When we are baptized, and every time we affirm our baptismal covenant, those promises we renew are all about living a Christ-like life. And yet, we rarely walk the walk that we talk. I think one of the most common retorts to a petulant teen by a parent has been, "Do what I say, not what I do." We know the life we are supposed to live – even the life we want to live – and yet we fail miserably at that life everyday. One of my favorite online videos is a video for Welcome Back Sunday in the fall. The video talks about the top reasons why people do not come to church. One of those reasons is that the Church is full of hypocrites. We know the ways that we feel like hypocrites and the world knows the ways we act like hypocrites.
So, when we read our epistle lesson to the Philippians today, we may be shocked by Paul's words. Paul, who has regularly said that followers of Christ should imitate Christ, now says, "Brothers and sisters, join in imitating me, and observe those who live according to the example you have in us." Paul's instruction to imitate him is bold. Paul does not say, "Do as I say, not as I do." Paul says, "Do what I do." Modern skeptics that we are, we immediately assume Paul has developed an inflated ego. We know that telling people to imitate you is the first step toward a nasty fall. Such a bold claim is setting Paul up for failure – because none of us are perfect. Paul's words immediately remind us of the hundreds of clergy who have fallen – who have embezzled, had affairs, abused children, abused alcohol, and have failed to be faithful pastors. Surely Paul is setting up himself and the many people who are following him for failure. Why would he do such a thing?
What we lose in our jaded, skeptical, snarky twenty-first century selves is the reminder of how learning and formation have happened for centuries. Both Jesus, and Paul his disciple, "know that true moral and spiritual formation depends on tutelage under a master – learning to follow the habits and practices of one who has become proficient in a particular trade or skill. Indeed, this is the precise meaning of the word 'disciple': a learner or pupil."[i] In this way, disciples are learning from someone wiser than themselves, and in fact are imitating the teacher's teacher.[ii] So when Paul says imitate me, he does not really mean imitate Paul, but imitate Paul, who is imitating Jesus Christ. Imitate the teacher's teacher.
What I find comforting then, is that Paul is not saying he is perfect. He is not boasting about his perfect imitation of Christ, but only encouraging others to imitate Christ as he imitates Christ. What Paul knows is that our lives are never perfect. But if we are not imitating something worth imitation, then we are already losing the battle. And so, Paul's imitation and our imitation many years later may be rough versions of Jesus Christ, but our imitation is still rooted in that great teacher who taught so many before us.
How we imitate Paul today is a bit more complicated. We too must find our teachers who point to The Teacher. The trick is not to think too remotely. When asked who our role models are, many of us will name famous people of faith – Martin Luther King, Jr. or Mother Teresa. And those folks will give us much to ponder about our faith life. But the problem is, sometimes those people are so removed from our lives that they cannot really teach us how to live our lives as Christians. I did a book study with a group once to prepare us for a prison ministry. The book was about a woman from California in her fifties who gave up everything and moved into a prison in Tijuana as a nun to become an advocate for the men and families affected by the prison. She lived in a cell in the prison and she ministered to the guards and the prisoners alike. She transformed the place into a place of humanity. She helped everyone equally, and managed to mobilize thousands of Americans to support the desperate needs of the Mexican prison. Mother Antonia was an amazing role model that we all found incredibly inspiring. But at the end of the series, one of the group members confessed that despite the fact that she appreciated Mother Antonia, she really would have preferred to have read a book about someone a little more like herself. Mother Antonia was so dramatically different from her life that she found that instead of being inspired, she was left without a true mentor to imitate.
This is why Paul offers himself up as an example. Not because he is some stellar example of Christ, but because he is in relationship with those with whom he is talking. Paul realizes that the most powerful person to learn from is someone right in your community. "Paul is directing the gaze of the community not toward some type of individual perfection, not even toward the supreme perfection of Christ…but to the realization of Christ's love within the community itself."[iii]
So Paul is inviting us to do a couple of things. First, Paul is inviting to name our own teachers. One of my favorite set of teachers is a couple I know from college. When Rebecca and David were married, they bought a home in North Carolina much larger than what they would need. The house was a fixer-upper, but they had dreams. Their dream was to make the house into an intentional Christian community that also serves as a transitional house for families. So, people who are in-between jobs, a woman who is recently divorced, or really anyone the local pastor recommends is welcome to come live in their home. They have some house rules about sharing work, community meals, and weekly worship. But Rebecca, David, and their two sons are imitating Christ in this radical lifestyle. When I am really wondering how to live a Christ-like life, I look at this family and see how far I have to go.
But even Rebecca and David can be a little too removed. So sometimes I just look at those around me. I look at the spiritual disciplines of parishioners here. I look at the ways that you care for those with physical limitations. I look at the ways you tend to this property or the ways that you serve our neighbors in need. Much like Paul and his community, we are not perfect. We too struggle to understand how faith is lived right here in Plainview. Our engagement in that struggle is what points us toward Christ.
This leads us to our second invitation from Paul – to recognize the ways in which we are all teachers to others. When you leave this place every Sunday, you are not just Barbara or Bob or Paul. You are Barbara the Christian from St. Margaret's. You are Bob who shows what being a person of faith is all about: not because you are perfect, but because you are struggling to be like Christ. That video about why people do not come to church has responses to each person's fear or hesitancy about Church. When one person complains that the Church is full of hypocrites, the Christian honestly and humbly says, "And there's always room for one more." That kind of raw honesty is the kind of honesty that leads to trust, that leads to sharing, that leads to opening our doors to others. That is the kind of honesty that makes others not only want to imitate us, but also to join us. Paul invites us then to boldly proclaim, "Imitate me," so that we can figure this journey out together. Amen.

'I have actually gone on, and after that some': vocalist George Ezra on popularity, relationship and also discovering brand-new ideas
G eorge Ezra strolls right into the Old Barge, the Hertford club that's been his long-lasting regional, and also within 3 mins his tune, Budapest gets on the stereo. "They're so helpful right here," he states, with reluctant thankfulness, as he stoops under a drape right into a back area. Ezra initially came right here after college, looking for a bathroom. At 16, he began functioning behind bench. When pals get home for Xmas, this is where they fulfill, "and also where we would certainly have constantly satisfied". It still scents the very same. (Currently: of the other day's log fire, a calming comparison to the January moist.) Over the following couple of hrs, residents stick their heads in to swing hi to their pleasant area pop celebrity, alcohol consumption lime polite and also soft drink in crisp dual jeans, and also he welcomes them all back by name.
This is the friendly number Ezra, that is 28, cuts in many setups, whether playing a glowing collection at Glastonbury or comfortably talking concerning psychological health and wellness on his podcast. A songs university failure birthed George Ezra Barnett, he arised in 2014 as component of a friend of middle-class British kids with guitars. Unlike the majority of them, he had not been ambition-crazed or lachrymose. Rather he had a good-weird feeling of humour and also a huge voice, grown hereafter ardent blues follower came to be consumed with the United States blues vocalist Lead Belly.
Ezra's tag sent him Interrailing to influence his very first cd, Wanted on Voyage, and also he notoriously saw a lot of Europe other than Budapest, the name of his advancement solitary. That tune established the George Ezra layout: primary-coloured bonhomie, a yearning for getaway, a blown away persistence that he would certainly surrender anything for a woman. For cd 2, Staying at Tamara's, he Airbnb 'd in Barcelona and also returned with the rabidly appealing songs Shotgun and also Heaven. Both of his cds struck No 1 and also invested 336 weeks in the graphes (and also counting) in between them: uncommon numbers that place you in the Sheeran organizations.

Having actually constantly utilized journeys as imaginative ideas, Ezra meant to compose cd 3 as he strolled from Land's End to John o'Groats in the springtime of 2020. Rather, he invested 5 weeks of lockdown alone in London prior to friends and family persuaded him to return to Hertfordshire. For 2 months, throughout that mood-spiking heatwave, he resided in a van on a pal's ranch. "It was pets that required strolling and also areas that required mowing," he keeps in mind dreamily. He quickly purchased his very own area. Being back has actually done him the globe of excellent. He likes area: "When you can leave your front door and also the entire community seems like an expansion of a back yard." And also though he understands this could appear strange– regressive or stuck– "I really feel comfy in the truth that I have actually gone on, and after that some."
Ezra states adjustment is gorgeous, and also it matches him. His solid functions rest even more conveniently on a male's face. When his hair expanded out throughout lockdown, he swept it back and also knew this was his appearance. (He has laughably wonderful skin, an additional current adjustment: "I began cleaning! I stated to my sibling, 'Cleaning your skin truly makes a distinction does not it?' She resembled, 'Fuck off, yes.'") On his very first 2 cds, he typically sang concerning leaving and also offering everything up; the makeovers on his beautiful 3rd cd, Gold Thrill Youngster, are much less concerning destroying the manuscript than acknowledging a minute as it's taking place, and also finding satisfaction within it.
It's a steadier cd, he states. The very first time around, he counted on his trips for something to blog about. 2nd time, he had actually seen the globe– played New Year's Eve in Tasmania– "therefore after that discussing crocodiles and also fantasizing comes to be rather sensible". This time around, he states, it really felt "amazing and also straightforward" to blog about the day-to-day compound of his life: assignations in resort areas and also bars, giving up to an enthusiast's elegance on the dancefloor. On the big-chorused title track, he sings of "burglarizing the financial institution/ Dashing and also finding out to dance"– winging it, generally. He had actually been considering the go-getters that hurried west in the 1850s and also "comprehended it as individuals determining: over there is something worth seeking and also it's limited, so go and also obtain it". Ezra contacts strengthen the important things he requires to listen to and also he has actually understood that this is the mindset he wishes to grow in the direction of his job and also his life: "Bear in mind: appreciate this."
It is strange to listen to that George Ezra– that composed the verse "swimsuit bases, beer tops, I might obtain utilized to this", and also sang it with a woozy whoop– required that push. His earlier, brilliant outside hid a stark state of mind. "In the past, when I've been one of the most frightened and also one of the most afraid, it was truly simple to topple right into nihilism and also go, 'Fuck it, it's all mosting likely to finish anyhow, so what does it matter?'" he states bitterly. Maybe that expectation has advantages, he takes into consideration. "However I do not assume I ever before arrived in a great way."
Heart male: 'I blew up, and also as a result I began to attempt andto control the important things that really did not require regulating.' Picture: Dean Chalkley/The Onlooker
He is a remarkably cautious conversationalist, taking lengthy stops to risk-assess any kind of admission. I push him as an examples of just how he would certainly self-sabotage, however he states it would not do him any kind of excellent to explain. He confesses he practically allow this way of thinking overall his job. In 2020, Ezra urged that he intended to give up songs, informing his supervisor: "I do not relate to it, I do not comprehend it, I discover it truly tough to obtain my head around why I would certainly seek what I relate to being rather difficult– since the last cd was unenjoyable sometimes, by my very own doing."
Ezra had actually ended up being "the child that simply states of course," he states– a penalizing identification that offered him a wicked type of recognition. "The journal would certainly be rupturing– you might practically see it pulsating. And also I blew up, and also as a result I began to attempt to manage the important things that really did not require regulating." He offers the instance of investing 3 hrs loading hand baggage: "Guy, you might toss some undergarments because bag, a couple of Tees and also a tooth brush and also you would certainly be great." (As we talk, he typically offers himself a second-person talking-to.)" This point might be on screen at a gallery."
He likewise has Pure O, a type of OCD that entails invasive ideas without the physical obsessions. He utilized to shed weeks to them. Throughout the very first lockdown, he located a specialist and also practiced transcendental reflection, which assisted. Currently the ideas could loophole for simply thirty minutes. He has actually quit attempting to quit them, "since that's where I utilized to wind myself up," he states.
When life opened once again, Ezra returned to composing with his lasting partner Joel Pott (previously of 2000s indie band Professional athlete), and also found the enjoyments of songs that his yes-man character had actually run over. "The factor you do this is since you enjoy it," he informs himself. "And also perhaps that's the reward, that you reach go after something you enjoy– however because of this, you're gon na feel it really and also care excessive sometimes." (Pott applauds the "excellent individuals" around Ezra, that informed him he really did not owe any individual anything.)
Offered Ezra's restored happiness, it might appear counterproductive that fatality towers above Gold Thrill Youngster He cavorts with her on Eco-friendly Eco-friendly Turf, an additional pressing earworm. On the twinkly closer Sunlight Dropped, he duplicates, with genuine heat, "I might pass away currently." It's not the old nihilism however a feeling of tranquility that originates from understanding he is offering life his best effort, of approving himself in this minute.
While Ezra likes his very first 2 cds, he likes this. "It does not seem like anything however myself," he states. The very first 5 tracks are timeless Ezra– as resilient and also brilliant as a brand-new swimming pool inflatable. After that it takes a ruminative change– the cd's most striking tune, I Went Searching, perfectly resolves his previous self-sabotage. It's not an overture to him ending up being a hurt musician, he states– Ezra disdains musicians yearning to drop their pop followers and also buckle down– however the outcome of "a great deal of self-reflection".
He's chuffed when I select his favorite line from lead solitary Any individual for You: "Remember me the method I am, not the method I was." (When a month, he publishes chosen pictures from his phone and also removes the remainder. "I seem like I'm dragging something together with me," he states.) He has a hard time to recognize those modifications, partially since they're inexpressible, partially since he delights in personal privacy. He offers it a go. He's found that satisfaction is various from joy. On this cd, he's informing himself: "You're all. You're not a bad guy."
Ezra still strolled from Land's End to John o'Groats with 2 pals for a forthcoming docudrama collection, inevitably happy he really did not need to compose a cd at the very same time. Strolling 20 to 30 miles a day offered him the very same sensation of tranquility as transcendentalmeditation, one that's lingered. There was an additional experience too: he will not go over the specifics on document since he states he hasn't determined just how to connect it, however it revealed him that the love in his life was unavoidable. "I have these individuals around me, friends and family, that exist. The lesson was: what you do not obtain, George, is that they simply enjoy you due to that you are. Due to the fact that you will not be able to, and also do not attempt to make feeling of that. Approve it." He thinks of everything the moment. "It really felt seismic, however truly tranquil. I assume that holds true of a great deal of the last couple of years– these significant modifications that really simply took one tiptoe to the left."
He has actually discovered to take care of himself– phone off at 9pm, light the fire, reviewed– and also located work-life equilibrium. "I can really prepare purposeful communications with pals around job," he states, "which is things I have actually constantly coveted in other individuals." And also say goodbye to yes-man. He informed administration: "Place points before me if you assume they are essential, and also just defend them if you assume they're truly crucial."
Still, he wishes to offer G old Thrill Youngster a "dealing with opportunity", specifically as he expects transforming 30 and also thinks of "drawing the line in the sand" at some time. "It's the saddest point I see in popular song when individuals simply stick on something," he states. He isn't retiring too soon: he could launch songs extra frequently, however stop touring. "I obtain a whole lot from it, adverse and also favorable," he states. "It's a ridiculous quantity of adrenaline to experience and after that to bring that with you."
Reward man: Ezra with his Brit honor, 2019.
Picture: Ian West/PAJoe Wicks's lockdown PE lessons Ezra is not the type of pop celebrity that gameplans their job 5 years in breakthrough– the contrary. He definitively does not intend to damage the United States. "It's also huge an area to take into consideration matching what my job appears like in Europe and also Australia," he states. "To attempt to recreate that would certainly eliminate me. I do not require it." He likewise desires kids, which really feels inappropriate with a job at his degree. "There are residence video clips of me as a youngster stating I intend to be a papa," he states. "I need to examine individuals that are extremely renowned and also go after that after having youngsters. It's shed on me. It seems self-seeking."
One of the most he will certainly want to his future job is to recommend that being loved by the country's kids suggests his tunes will inevitably end up being "throwback celebration standards". If they complied with
, any kind of youngsters that really did not currently understand him quickly did. Ezra's mum, a main college instructor, informed him Wicks stated he could not play songs on the video clips due to copyright. She recommended that Ezra allowed Wicks utilize his tunes absolutely free. He did, after that gave away the aristocracies to the NHS. "It was simply a good idea to be able to do," he states.
What does it state that pop celebrities are needing to contribute to the NHS throughout a pandemic? He stops. "There's a whole lot I do not comprehend," he states, regretfully. "The quantity that I do not comprehend daunts me to the factor where it most likely does not offer me to discuss it since I do not understand where to begin. After that I'm like, is that the factor? Are you made to seem like you do not comprehend when truly you do?" Which's things I located tough concerning the last couple of years," he states, with an unexpected rough breath, "is really really feeling … powerless somehow." He states the tail end in the tiniest voice, and also we're both shocked to discover he is weeping, his grey-blue eyes currently red. "Sorry!" he states promptly, and also regroups. "There's a great deal of complex things taking place on the planet. It's depressing, you're right, why are fucking pop celebrities contributing to the NHS?" Ezra states he hasn't usually made political declarations since he does not really feel certified– although he remembers his moms and dads, Work celebration participants, taking him on marches– and also not since his fanbase is so wide. He casts aspersions as he motions around the Old Barge. "I enjoy this club. It is vacant of a night and also it should not be," he states absolutely, referencing the anxiety over Omicron. "Not that it must be hectic, however they're not assisted. If individuals should not be heading out, inform them to shut the doors and also assist them with that time."
He regrets that "making the globe a complex and also daunting area is a truly hassle-free method of matching individuals versus each other". It runs counter to his worldview. He returns to the stroll, on which they frequently satisfied "2 kinds of farmer: individuals that live hand to mouth, up at 4am on Xmas, and also they were beautiful, directing us in the best instructions. We likewise satisfied guys that use gold rings on their little fingers and also stay in huge homes on the ranches, and also they were beautiful, and also informed us which instructions to go. It's why he liked
a lot, he states, "since it's excellent to be advised you're just the same in lots of methods."(*) Ezra's songs has actually constantly revealed his confidence in cumulative benefits: we're great with each other, we're simply human; as he sings on the tune Gold Thrill Youngster. "You're similar to every person, you're hanging on." Has that idea been drunk in the previous 2 years, when it's typically appeared as though we aren't done in this with each other? "I do not assume so," he states. "Going out and also strolling the nation and also conference individuals– it simply isn't real. I obtain horrified that every person's bent on obtain each various other. Essentially, they are– up until you march your front door."(*) The solitary Any individual For You is out currently; the cd Gold Thrill Youngster complies with on 10 June on Columbia Records(*)

Washington State University is opening a $64 million building in Everett to support a growing program in engineering.
She was a self-described aviation buff who earned her private pilot's license after high school, but when she got up in the air, Jennifer Johnson decided that piloting a plane was kind of boring.
What she really liked was the stuff under the hood — the complex systems that make up a commercial airplane. But Johnson, who by her late 20s was married and living in Marysville with a toddler, couldn't pick up and move somewhere to earn the engineering degree she'd need to do that kind of work.
Then in 2014, an opportunity opened up close to home. Washington State University began offering engineering degrees in Everett, using space on the Everett Community College campus. Johnson brushed up on her math and science skills, then enrolled.
She's now a mechanical engineer for Aviation Technical Services in Everett — a dream job that allows her to do engineering work on airplane systems, including repairs and modifications.
This month, WSU Everett will cut the ribbon on a $64 million building that can accommodate many more students like Johnson who can't move to the college's main campus in Pullman but want to earn an engineering degree and some of the other degrees WSU also offers.
For many Everett politicians, the building is the culmination of 23 years of work to establish a four-year university in Snohomish County.
Pat McClain, a former governmental-affairs director for the city of Everett, says he was moved to tears when he and his wife attended the first graduation ceremony for students of WSU Everett a few years ago.
"You listened to the stories of young people and what it took to get their degree — and it wasn't that long ago they couldn't get that degree in Snohomish County," he said.
The 95,000-square-foot glass-and-brick building, across the street from Everett Community College, is one of the tallest, and newest, buildings north of downtown.
Much of the building is designed for students studying the three engineering degrees WSU offers in Everett: mechanical, electrical and software. It's filled with state-of-the-art equipment to help them do their work, including 3-D printers and high-end computers for software engineering. Flat-screen TVs for videoconferencing are everywhere, allowing professors in Pullman to teach classes in Everett.
Everett politicians had lobbied for years for the University of Washington to open a branch campus in their city. When that idea fell by the wayside, they shifted their attention to WSU.
In 2011, then-Gov. Chris Gregoire signed legislation giving WSU management and leadership, starting in 2014, over a building on the Everett Community College campus where a consortium of eight four-year colleges offered classes.
In 2012, WSU began offering engineering degrees in Everett. In 2013, the university's governing board approved a $10 million expenditure to begin design of the new building. And in 2015, it got money from the state Legislature to construct the building.
About 200 students have enrolled in WSU's Everett offerings this fall, and the building has enough space to take 600 more.
With a solar array on the roof and a 19,000-gallon underground cistern that collects rainwater, the building will use half the energy a building of that size would normally use, and its toilets will flush with water from the sky.
Along with Johnson, the Marysville mom who went back to college, WSU Everett is set up to help students like Amy Felt, a 2009 graduate of Mount Vernon High School.
Felt earned her associate degree at Skagit Valley and Everett community colleges, then earned her mechanical-engineering degree at WSU Everett in August 2016. Moving away from home to get a degree wasn't an option for her, either.
Today, she too is in a dream job — as a fluid systems test engineer at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida.
Pitre, the chancellor, said about 96 percent of WSU Everett's students are from Washington state. And they're older than the average college student — about 26.
In addition to engineering, the Everett campus also offers a hospitality and business management degree, and will be starting an organic agriculture degree this fall.
Earlier this month, McClain — the Everett city official, took out an ad in The (Everett) Herald commemorating the new building.

Massive Exchange of mRNA between a Parasitic Plant and its Hosts
Kim_G_D_2014.pdf (3.326Mb)
Kim, Gunjune
Cuscuta pentagona is an obligate parasitic plant that hinders production of crops throughout the world. Parasitic plants have unique morphological and physiological features, the most prominent being the haustorium, a specialized organ that functions to connect them with their host's vascular system. The Cuscuta haustorium is remarkable in that it enables mRNA movement to occur between hosts and parasite, but little is known about the mechanisms regulating cross-species mRNA transfer or its biological significance to the parasite. These questions were addressed with genomics approaches that used high throughput sequencing to assess the presence of host mRNAs in the parasite as well as parasite mRNAs in the host. For the main experiment Cuscuta was grown on stems of Arabidopsis thaliana and tomato (Solanum lycopersicon) hosts because the completely sequenced genomes of these plants facilitates identification of host and parasite transcripts in mixed mRNA samples. Tissues sequenced included the Cuscuta stem alone, the region of Cuscuta-host attachment, and the host stem adjacent to the attachment site. The sequences generated from each tissue were mapped to host reference genes to distinguish host sequences, and the remaining sequences were used in a de novo assembly of a Cuscuta transcriptome. This analysis revealed that thousands of different Arabidopsis transcripts, representing nearly half of the expressed transcriptome of Arabidopsis, were represented in the attached Cuscuta. RNA movement was also found to be bidirectional, with a substantial proportion of expressed Cuscuta transcripts found in host tissue. The mechanism underlying the exchange remains unknown, as well as the function of mobile RNAs in either the parasite or host. An approach was developed to assay potential translation of host mRNAs by detecting them in the Cuscuta translatome as revealed by sequencing polysomal RNA and ribosome-protected RNA. This work highlights RNA trafficking as a potentially important new form of interaction between hosts and Cuscuta.
