About the Book, Africa's Elephant: A Biography
Elephants symbolise wisdom and power and are frequently held in high esteem, renowned for their social structures, their ability to create life-long friendships and their deep sense of loyalty. However, they are also one of the most abused creatures on earth and in the latter years of the twentieth century the elephant was classified as an endangered species: Largely because of the abuse this animal has suffered at the hands of human beings.
This abuse is nothing new. In ancient times the mighty elephant was used to fight wars, while the Romans abused them in gladiatorial games. But the worst of the abuse, which continues to this day, stems from the human demand for ivory. In some societies ivory is seen as a lucky charm, others believe it has godly powers, some have used it for medicines and yet more view it as a status symbol. Products made from ivory are frequently expensive and include jewellery, piano and organ keys, billiard balls and small ornamental carvings such as netsukes (often of intricate design). Ivory has even been used for making electrical equipment for radar and aeroplanes.
This book is a biographical history of the African elephant from the fourth century B.C. to the end of the twentieth century. Under the guidance of Martin Meredith, an author renowned for his knowledge and understanding of the African continent, the reader will learn much about the culture of elephants and the abuse, suffered over thousands of years, at the hands of human beings.
Africa's Elephant is well written and illustrated with many black and white line drawings and colour photographs.

About the Publisher: Hodder & Stoughton
Hodder and Stoughton is a well known British publisher. It's origins date back to the nineteenth century: In 1861 Matthew Hodder, who had worked for Jackson and Walford (publishers) for some years, became a partner in the firm which then became known as Jackson, Walford and Hodder. Seven years later, in 1868, Messrs Jackson and Walford retired and Thomas Wilberforce Stoughton joined the firm which then became known as Hodder and Stoughton.
In the early years the company focussed largely on religious and secular books, with Matthew Hodder frequently vetoing manuscripts which did not fall into this genre. The company evolved considerably in the 1920s with the popular "Yellow Jacket" series of fiction books and was well placed to take on the UK publishing of Leslie Charteris's Saint novels. Fictional works were to became a significant part of the company's catalogue. Other authors represented by the company have included J.M. Barrie, Rudyard Kipling, Dornford Yates, John Buchan, Enid Blyton, Captain W. E. Johns, Elizabeth Goudge, Anya Seton, Len Deighton, John le Carre, Rosamund Pilcher, Jodi Picoult, Stephen King and John Grisham.
Hodder and Stoughton imprints have included Coronet Books, Hodder Faith, Hodder Moa Beckett, John Murray, Mulholland, Quercus, Sceptre, Saltyard, Two Roads and Yellow Kite.
In 1993 Hodder and Stoughton was bought by Headline and became known as Hodder Headline. This new corporate form was in turn bought by Hatchette Livre in 2004. At the time Hatchette was on a journey to becoming the largest British book publisher and Hodder and Stoughton remains an imprint of the group to this day.
In over a hundred and fifty years of publishing Hodder and Stoughton built an extensive portfolio of books about Africa. The list below is very much the tip of the iceberg, but gives a flavour of the important historical role played by this British publisher.

Politicians from across the aisle come together at Westminster to talk civility
By Lily Wolfe on November 7, 2017
Josh Romney, Natalie Gochnour and Salt Lake County Mayor Ben McAdams discuss civility in politics at Westminster College on Nov. 2 in the Vieve Gore Concert Hall. This public event was held to discuss the widening political gap and lack of bipartisanship in politics. (Photo by Molly Karasick)
Some 27 percent of Democrats say Republican policies are a threat to the country's well-being; more than a third of Republicans think the same of Democratic policies, according to a 2014 Pew Research Center survey.
Over the past two decades — and in the time since the divisive 2016 presidential election — the polarization between these political parties has grown to an all time high. A recent CBS News poll reported that 68 percent of respondents think the tone and civility in political debates in the United States is getting worse.
To combat that, Westminster College's Honors College hosted a conversation between Josh Romney, a potential Republican candidate for Utah governor, and Democratic Salt Lake County Mayor Ben McAdams on Nov. 2.
In front of a full audience in the Vieve Gore Concert Hall, the pair dug into how the country's large ideological gap formed and how that might change.
"Spending time in the conversable world… is likely to make people more sociable and better able to discuss political questions," said Richard Badenhausen, the dean of Westminster's Honors College. "That's what we are doing here tonight; spending time in the conversable world in the hopes that it can build bridges and move us towards a better future as a community."
Natalie Gochnour, director of the Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute at the University of Utah and chief economist for the Salt Lake Chamber, moderated the talk. Romney and Cox sat in casual chairs around a coffee table to make the conversation feel "like we are around a kitchen table," as Gochnour said, with the intention of having an "unfiltered conversation."
Utah Lt. Gov. Spencer J. Cox was the expected Republican speaker but was unable to attend due to last-minute obligations at the Governor's Mansion
"That's what we are doing here tonight; spending time in the conversable world in the hopes that it can build bridges and move us towards a better future as a community." — Richard Badenhausen, dean of Westminster's Honors College
The lecture covered topics including blame, responsibility, social media, leadership and working in politics in local versus national politics.
"Both parties try to win elections by making sure their opponents never get anything done, and that happens from both sides," McAdams said. "And what's happened is nothing is getting done."
The Salt Lake county mayor joked that compromise, along with building trust and personal relationships, is the only way to making a living in politics as a Democrat in Utah.
Echoing McAdams, Romney said compromise is built into the U.S. government and is required for anyone to succeed in politics.
"I think the founders from the very beginning knew there would have to be compromise, there would have to be give and take, and that's how our republic is set up… it really only works with compromise," Romney said, referencing the Civil War. "In the last number of years, it seems like compromise has become a bad word."
To create more civility in politics, both parties agreed that a reform of district boundaries and an increase in diversity is needed — and that changes at a local level are the best place to start.
Badenhausen said he hopes the event showed students that work in politics can be meaningful and beneficial.
"I think one of the negative effects of the uncivil climate in Washington is that it turns young people away from politics," he said, adding: "One goal [of this event] is to hopefully demonstrate to young people that you can still be a successful politician while being civil and bipartisan."

MAD Donuts, White Plains
December 4, 2019 By Neal Rentz

It is safe to say that White Plains resident Matthew Moore is mad about donuts.
He has translated that passion into creating MAD Donuts, which recently opened in The Westchester in White Plains. He co-owns the business with his wife, Aja Whitaker-Moore.
Moore explained last week how he came up with the name of his new business. "MAD is an acronym for my name, Matt, my wife, Aja, and my daughter, Daisy," he said.
Moore said he decided to create his own donuts because he was not satisfied with the donuts that were sold locally, unlike those he bought when he lived in New York City. When he moved to Westchester Moore said that there were no donuts there were even close to the quality of the donuts he ate in the city. Moore, who said he has a passion for cooking and baking, decided to create his own donuts.
After coming up with his own donut recipes he introduced them to the public at farmers markets in White Plains. He has been partnering with local venues such as the Twisted Branch in Valhalla.
The creations sold at MAD Donuts, which opened on Nov. 23, are yeast based and he is planning to sell cake donuts in the future, Moore said.
Moore said he prides himself on using fresh, natural and locally sourced ingredients. For example, the grapes used for the jelly in his peanut butter and jelly donuts are purchased from a grape farm in upstate New York.
Moore also seeks to hire local residents for his new business. The 20 jobs he has created so far have gone to residents of White Plains and other parts of Westchester, he said.
On weekends about 1,000 donuts are created at his business, with about half of that amount made on weekdays, Moore said, adding he expects to make 1,000 donuts a day when holiday shopping at the mall begins in earnest particularly in December.
Moore explained why he and his wife chose to open his business in The Westchester. "It's a great mall," he said. "It was a good opportunity that came up to do this store in The Westchester. We decided to take it."
He offers a wide variety of donuts, including lemon meringue and strawberry cheesecake, as well as seasonal selections, including the current pumpkin pie donut. Moore is also providing a savory everything donut that is filled with cream cheese and featuring several toppings as an everything bagel does.
Moore said one of his favorite MAD donuts features a brown sugar custard filling.
Moore said he wants his business to give back to the community. Moore will donate a portion of the revenues from the sale of coffee to local non-profit organizations.
"My goal is to make this store a fixture in the White Plains metro area," Moore said.
MAD Donuts is located on the third floor of The Westchester, 125 Westchester Ave., White Plains. For more information call 914-426-7095 or visit https://maddonutshop.com/. MAD Donuts is also on Facebook.

Todrick Hall supports LGBTQ campus community
by Tashfina Rahman, Contributor
Todrick Hall, an American Idol alumnus and upcoming Broadway actor, performed and spoke to students in Montezuma Hall on Sept. 20.
The Culture, Art and Film committee of the Aztec Student Union Board planned the event.
"The first tool to becoming super successful and changing your life is to believe," Hall said. "The second thing is entrepreneurship. I know so many talented people who want to be in movies or on television or Broadway, but they don't understand the art of taking what is special about them and turning it into a brand."
Fans of Todrick Hall came to the event and discussed his music and videos.
"I've been a fan ever since I saw a video of his," senior chemistry major Joquel Vasquez said.
"I'm subscribed to his YouTube channel and I look forward to all his videos and they're all very creative and appeal to tons of people."
Hall performed on stage with his backup dancers with a mash-up to various popular songs.
After his first performance, Hall took the stage to give students advice about becoming successful in life and in their careers.
In addition to being a performer and entrepreneur, Hall is a member and strong advocate of the LGBTQ community.
He focused part of his event on reaching out to this community and played a song he wrote, "It Gets Better."
Hall said that this song was meant to be special and was written for anyone who was struggling in the LGBTQ community.
"When I wrote this, I had just quit a Tony award winning Broadway show to live in Los Angeles," Hall said. "Many people doubted me. This song changed my life in so many ways and my fans have told me that it has changed theirs too."
Hall also spoke about how important it is that people of all demographics and backgrounds are represented in his videos.
Many of his videos feature men and women of various races and sexual orientations.
"I want someone that looks like everyone to be recognizable," Hall said. " Until there's a world where everyone is represented equally, the world will never truly be equal."
Hall also said his future plans may include taking his visual album, "Straight Outta Oz," to Broadway.
He ended the event with an open forum where students were welcome to ask questions. A select number of students were surprised with meet and greet tickets underneath their seats.
Social Media and Marketing chair of the culture, art and film committee, Hunter Midgett, said this event had been in the works for a while.
"I think the event went very well," Midgett said. "Todrick's performance was energy-filled and fabulous," she said. "The audience enjoyed seeing him and there was even a frantic rush after the show as people desperately searched for a meet and greet pass taped underneath the chairs."
Hall is also set to appear as a judge on the forthcoming season of RuPaul's Drag Race.

Yesterday Ben and I cleaned the chimney and today I lit the first fall fire to inaugurate the winter of 2015-2016. We've been having a pleasantly warm fall and this is quite late for first fire. Usually I clean the chimney around November 1st in preparation for the coming cold season.
The sunflower above is a reminder of even warmer days. Now they have mostly been eaten by the pigs and chickens – the few that remain are drab brown heads.
We grow a lot of sunflowers. They're easy to grow, produce well in our soils and climate and the pigs enjoy them in the fall. And they're beautiful.
Daily Spark: On land we have lots of space to waste. Houses are big with huge floor plans. On ships we have tight quarters where every nook and cranny is put to use, often to double or triple uses. Everything in its place and a place for everything. It is so ironic that in space we have so little space.
I cleaned our chimney recently too. An annual chore I do not look forward to. It doesn't sound like much, 28 feet of Chimney, but it seems like a lot perched on the peak of a steeply pitched slate roof pulling that fiber glass rod up and down. Particularly when it seems stuck and drastic measures might be needed.
Charles, can you create a Tee access port, or better yet a Wye, where you can clean from the safety within the attic?
Ah chimney cleaning. Fortunately for me, something that I am more than willing to pay someone else to do (I don't have a long enough ladder and I don't like heights).

We had our big "preview" show tonight at the gallery. About twenty of us, all local assemblage artists, came together with our "boxes" for this event. It wasn't as crowded as I thought it might be. Each of us was allowed to have up to four pieces, but some artists had only one or two. The show is open for all of September.
My three contributions to the show!
A couple friends of mine...Jason with his work, and Pammela, owner and curator of Cannibals Gallery here in Portland.
Can I use this photo for my article on eco-artists and interview with Pammela? It will be published on Smashwords and my web sites.
James, there are three photos on this blog page...I'm assuming that you want the photo of Pammela? Yes, you have her permission (and mine) to use it for your interview.

Why we care: President Trump isn't shy about calling out the mainstream news media for what he sees as biased coverage and "fake news." It's become a rallying cry for his supporter base, and a catchall excuse when things aren't going the administration's way. Up until recently, the media has relied on its reporting to answer these charges, convinced that telling the truth and repeating facts will win out over bombast, bluster, and BS. But it seems like that might not be enough, that these news organizations need to more loudly proclaim their bonafides, and use advertising to do it. Earlier this year it was The New York Times that told us all, "The truth is hard." Here, CNN is following suit with "Facts First," which uses a simple apple–and some not-so subtle digs at Trump's twitterfeed–to show the difference between facts and what's really fake.

The 85-year-old can boast 25 years in the post after being appointed by the late Pope John Paul II.
At a conference today, he surprised the delegates by revealing some of his greatest dislikes – yoga and Harry Potter.
Father Amorth, speaking on the subject of People And Religion at a fringe event at the Umbria Film Festival in Terni, spoke of his distaste for JK Rowling's young wizard.
He said:'People think it is an innocuous book for children but it's about magic and that leads to evil. In Harry Potter the Devil is at work in a cunning and crafty way, he is using his extraordinary powers of magic and evil.
'Satan is always hidden and the thing he desires more than anything is for people to believe he does not exist. He studies each and everyone of us and our tendencies towards good and evil and then he tempts us.
While in 2006, Father Amorth, who was ordained a priest in 1954, gave an interview to Vatican Radio in which he said that Nazi leader Adolf Hitler and Russian dictator Josef Stalin were both possessed by the Devil.
According to secret Vatican documents recently released the then wartime Pope Pius XII attempted a 'long distance exorcism' of Hitler but it failed to have any effect.
It is also not the first time that Father Amorth, who is president of the International Association of Exorcists, has spoken out against Harry Potter saying in the past that it opens children's minds to dabbling with the occult and black magic.
Today Vanda Vanni, of the Italian Yoga Association, said:'A Satanic practice? Pardon the pun but that is an accusation that is neither in Heaven or on earth. Father Amorth's accusation is completely without foundation.
'It is an outrageous thing to say – yoga is not a religion but a spiritual discipline. It is about freedom and a search to find one's inner self. It does not touch religion and has nothing to do with Satanic sects nor does it encourage people to join them.
Giorgio Furlan, who runs the Yoga Academy in Rome, said`:'There are some paths of yoga which do lead towards Hinduism but other paths are more philosophical but their is no direct link with religion and certainly no link with Satanism.
'To say such things shows you have no idea of what you are talking about – yoga controls violent impulses of the nervous system and subconscious – to be honest with me it had the effect of bringing me closer to Christianity and in particular the Catholic Church which I had abandoned as a youngster.
First, I do not exist. The concept of a 13,700,00,000 year old being, capable of creating the entire Universe and its billions of galaxies, monitoring simultaneously the thoughts and actions of the 7 billion human beings on this planet is ludicrous. Grow a brain.
Second, if I did, I would have left you a book a little more consistent, timeless and independently verifiable than the collection of Iron Age Middle Eastern mythology you call the Bible. Hell, I bet you cannot tell me one thing about any of its authors, their credibility or their possible ulterior motives, yet you cite them for the most extraordinary of claims.
Thirdly, when I sent my "son" (whatever that means, given that I am god and do not mate) to Earth, he would have visited the Chinese, Ja.panese, Europeans, Russians, sub-Saharan Africans, Australian Aboriginals, Mongolians, Polynesians, Micronesians, Indonesians and native Americans, not just a few Jews. He would also have exhibited a knowledge of something outside of the Iron Age Middle East.
Fourthly, I would not spend my time hiding, refusing to give any tangible evidence of my existence, and then punish those who are smart enough to draw the natural conclusion that I do not exist by burning them forever. That would make no sense to me, given that I am the one who withheld evidence of my existence in the first place.
Fifth, I would not care who you do or how you "do it". I really wouldn't. This would be of no interest to me, given that I can create Universes. Oh, the egos.
Sixth, I would have smited all evangelicals and fundamentalists long before this. You people drive me nuts. You are so small minded and yet you speak with such false authority. Many of you still believe in the talking snake nonsense from Genesis. I would kill all of you for that alone and burn you for an afternoon (burning forever is way too barbaric for me to even contemplate).
Seventh, the whole idea of members of one species on one planet surviving their own physical deaths to "be with me" is utter, mind-numbing nonsense. Grow up. You will die. Get over it. I did. Hell, at least you had a life. I never even existed in the first place.
Eighth, I do not read your minds, or "hear your prayers" as you euphemistically call it. There are 7 billion of you. Even if only 10% prayed once a day, that is 700,000,000 prayers. This works out at 8,000 prayers a second – every second of every day. Meanwhile I have to process the 100,000 of you who die every day between heaven and hell. Dwell on the sheer absurdity of that for a moment.
Finally, the only reason you even consider believing in me is because of where you were born. Had you been born in India, you would likely believe in the Hindu gods, if born in Tibet, you would be a Buddhist. Every culture that has ever existed has had its own god(s) and they always seem to favor that particular culture, its hopes, dreams and prejudices. What, do you think we all exist? If not, why only yours?
Look, let's be honest with ourselves. There is no god. Believing in me was fine when you thought the World was young, flat and simple. Now we know how enormous, old and complex the Universe is.
Move on – get over me. I did.
What Did We Ever Do?


I believe that if we see design as a way of shaping the future of our world, it should be as exciting and thrilling as a great film or book. At the same time, it should communicate not only who we are, but also how we would ideally like our world to be.
Over a decade's worth of his work is detailed in Tord Boontje, a book that is, in itself, an innovatively designed object. The text - extensively researched by Martina Margetts whose comprehensive knowledge of Tord's work goes back to the early '90s - draws on a year-long series of conversations with the designer, and over thirty interviews with Tord's family, friends, colleagues and clients, covering his life, his projects and their cultural context.
The unique design of the book has been created by Graphic Thought Facility, based in London, with whom Tord has worked since 1999. Art-directed by Tord himself, 120 full-page photographs were taken for the book by Annabel Elston and Angela Moore, who shot in settings created in Tord's studio in France and the forests around it.


Parojinog admitted that his daughter, Ozamiz Vice Mayor Nova Princess Parojinog, has a relationship with the imprisoned Colangco, which he disapproved of. But he is also debunking media stories that Nova Princess and Colangco are married.
Parojinog said Nova Princess had just been granted an annulment of her marriage to former basketball player Edgar Echavez, who played for the Ginebra Kings in the Philippine Basketball Association. He is now the chairman of Barangay San Antonio in this city.
"I welcome any investigation so that I will have the opportunity to clear my name," Parojinog said.
At that time, police estimated the local shabu retail trade as worth at least P2 million per week, mainly from students and young professionals. This was when the street value of a kilogram of shabu here was also estimated at P1.2 million.
When it was still unavailable in other areas, small shabu packs were already introduced here and sold at P100. This, according to authorities then, contributed to the surge in consumption.

Jess & Matt's Wedding at The Mansion at Bald Hill, Woodstock CT
When Jess and Matt reached out to us about their wedding day, we were so excited to work with them. They were referred to us by Ashley Waterman Photography, who we met at The Mansion at Bald Hill Bridal expo. Jess and Matt originally booked Ashley for their wedding day, but after Ashley found out she was due on their wedding date, she knew she had to find someone else to photograph their wedding! (Fun fact, we photographed Ashley's maternity session, and are working a wedding with her next week to help her after she had her baby!) So, thank you Ashley for sending these two sweethearts our way! We are so honored!
When we arrived at The Mansion at Bald Hill on Jess and Matt's wedding day, we were welcomed with open arms by Jess and all of her bridesmaids in the bridal suite! We took her dress and details and headed next door to the reception space which is full of natural light!
While we were finishing up the details, it started raining. Not just a few rain drops, but buckets of water came down. We were a little concerned as their ceremony was supposed to be outside. We drove Jess's dress back over to the mansion and headed upstairs. Jess said let's see what happens with the weather, and soon enough it stopped raining!
The bridesmaids did not know what the wedding dress looked like, so we did an adorable first look with her girls! After that, we did the first look with Matt. Jess and Matt talked about doing a first look, but it was never put into the timeline. After we did some photos of the bridesmaids, we realized we still had time for a first look if they wanted to do one. Jess was unsure, saying "no, its okay, we don't have to do one" and then saying "well, what do you think?" After we told Jess about how much we LOVED our own first look, she said "okay, let's do it!" We quickly gathered Matt and Zac escorted him to the back of the mansion, where Jess was waiting. Their first look was adorable, Matt had the biggest smile when he saw his bride! After we took a few pictures, we told them to enjoy this moment and we stepped away. We love that with a first look, we can fit in this little bit of alone time for our couples. It was probably only five minutes, but without a first look, there is no alone time on your wedding day! Jess and Matt called us back shortly after saying they were ready for portraits, laughing that after so many years, there is not much to talk about, but they were so happy to have had those few moments alone.
Jess and Matt had their wedding right outside the mansion in the garden. Their ceremony was beautiful, officiated by Jess's brother! Their vows made everyone cry! (Just wait until you see all the bridesmaids crying!)
After their ceremony, we photographed their family portraits and a few husband and wife portraits before heading into the reception. When the bridal party was announced into the reception, Who Let The Dogs Out was the song of choice and the groomsmen all ran out wearing dog masks! It was hilarious and such a fun way to kick off the party!
Jess and Matt had a beautiful first dance, full of lifts, twirls, and love! It was the best first dance we have seen to date! They really know how to dance! That was not the only fun dance, Jess danced with her dad to an upbeat song, that left the guests unable to take their eyes off the dance floor!
Thank you Jess and Matt for trusting us to capture your day! We loved how easy going the two of you were, and how you let us give suggestions (like your first look!) throughout the day. You both are such sweet people and we wish you the best in your life together!
A few behind the scenes shots of their first look!
And our favorite part of the day, is showing our sweet couples their pictures!

Look I can't stand: Uggs + Northface + leggings. So unoriginal.
Phashion Philosophy: Wear what you want.
Can't leave the house without: a pair of sunglasses, you never know when you'll need them.
Favorite item: Oh geez… it's either my battle boots or my converse, both are my go-to shoes!
Look I can't stand: Uggs…I wouldn't be caught dead in them. Unless someone put them on me when I was dead. And if that was the case, I'd haunt the crap out of that person!
Favorite color to wear: Red or purple.
Fashion Idol: Emma Watson and Adam Lambert.
Describe your style: I'm a fan of pretty much everything and I love trying out new trends. Lately I've been obsessed with riding boots and flouncy/ 70s tops.
Can't leave the house without: A giant purse/tote.
Favorite item: Knee high boots. My brown riding boots and my hand me down moccasin boots are my current obsession.
Look I can't stand: Booty shorts. Leave something to the imagination please!
Favorite color to wear: Blue or purple.
Fashion Idol: Emma Watson and Kate Middleton. They're classy, elegant and still throw fashion curveballs. I think it's important to take notes from your fashion idols but then put your spin on it. Don't loose you in your quest for fashion.
Describe your style:: I love things that are flowy or loose to show of the body's curves without hugging them (though I usually balance that with skinny jeans). Then I add in some interest with natural elements and textures.
Look I can't stand: long flat ironed hair with a comb-over, I mean really, plenty of other hairstyles look great. Find something original.
While these women have figured out their philosophies, I'm going to keep working on mine. Let me know what your philosophy is!

Arrowsmith and Evans Family Correspondence
Identifier: 2011-29
University of Nevada, Reno. Special Collections Department
The Arrowsmith and Evans Family Correspondence collection contains primarily letters written by the Arrowsmith and Evans families. It documents life in rural Nevada, the family ranching and farming business, as well as life in Ohio.
A majority of the letters are between Dick Evans Arrowsmith and his wife, Gertrude (Rhodes) Arrowsmith, the earliest of which date prior to their marriage in 1892. The greater part of their letters are from 1897-1903 and discuss Dick's horse and mule trade. Dick spent much of his time traveling to markets in order to buy and sell his animals. These letters discuss particulars of the trade and his business. Other letters include those written to Gertrude, mostly from her mother and father after she and Dick sold their Nevada ranch and relocated to the family farm in Ohio.
This collection contains a few very early letters written by Arrowsmith family members. Two early letters from 1869, written by Dick's mother, Mary, to her Grandfather discuss her plan to relocate with Dick to California to be with her brothers, Allen, Alvaro, Orlando, and John Newton "Newt" Evans. The second, written in November 1869, is especially interesting as it describes rail travel just months after the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad.
Arrowsmith, Dick Evans (Correspondent, Person)
Collection is open for research. Materials must be used on-site; advance notice suggested. Access to parts of this collection may be restricted under provisions of state or federal law.
Dick Evans Arrowsmith was born in Defiance, Ohio on October 29, 1862 to John Caraway and Mary Ann Evans Arrowsmith, who had married on December 21, 1861. Dick's father was the auditor for Defiance County and volunteered for the Union Army, but was rejected due to his declining health; he died young on March 22, 1864 from tuberculosis. Dick's mother was 24 when she became a widow and, after a few years in 1869, relocated with her son to California to live with her brothers, Allen, Alvaro, Orlando, and John Newton "Newt" Evans on the ranch in Long Valley. In 1879, she relocated to her brother John's home in Reno, Nevada.
Dick attended school and Reno and continued on to college at the University of the Pacific in San Jose, California. Dick returned to Ohio after graduating college to work on farmland left to him by his father, and eventually returned to Nevada where he and his wife, Gertrude, owned a ranch at Newcomb Lake, Nevada located approximately 40 miles north of Reno. They sold the ranch after experiencing a financial disaster when the government stopped buying mules. They then relocated back to his home state of Ohio, settling in Hicksville, Ohio. Although he owned a farm in Ohio, Dick was most proficient in surveying, working to create ditches and survey lands in Defiance County.
Dick and Gertrude Rhodes married on February 18, 1892 in Reno, Nevada. They had 6 children: John, Mary, Elizabeth, Emily, Horton, and Helen. Dick died in Hicksville, Ohio on August 22, 1954.
Dick Evans Arrowsmith (1862-1954) was a rancher in Ohio and Nevada. Original letters both to and from Arrowsmith and Evans family members, especially for Dick Evans Arrowsmith. Includes news clippings and some text. Letters date from 1816-1956 and were used to write Letters from the Past + Revelations by Dick Reed; Dick Arrowsmith was Reed's grandfather.

We take our responsibilities to safeguard your children very seriously. Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility: all Staff, Governors and Volunteers should play their full part in keeping children safe. Please find below a copy of our Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy 2018-2019 to which each member of staff adhere to.
We work within Government Legislation Keeping Children Safe in Education 2018 (update) in conjunction with Working Together to Safeguard Children 2015. These documents highlight current significant national issues including preventing Radicalisation in line with the 'Prevent' Strategy (part of the government's counter-terrorism strategy to stop people becoming terrorists or supporting terrorism) and with the internet available to every child in today's modern society an increased awareness of issues such as Grooming and Child Sexual Exploitation. We work alongside external agencies including Health, Social Care, and Police to ensure all our children are kept safe and protected from harm.
The Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) for Child Protection is Mrs L. Yarnell.
Should you have any concerns about a pupil, or a pupil makes a disclosure to you, please speak to Mrs. Yarnell immediately. Should she not be in school, please speak to Mr Beatty.
It is important to remember that, however small a concern may seem to you, it may be one of a series of concerns raised by different adults and therefore, recording such concerns enable the school to take the appropriate action to ensure that all children's needs are being met.
You can also tell Richmond or Kingston Children's Services about a child, young person or parent/carer that needs support in some way by contacting their Single Point of Access Team (SPA).
Call us on 020 8547 5008 during office hours.
If you need to speak to someone urgently outside of office hours, please call 020 8770 5000.
Thank you for your invaluable support with safeguarding our children.

I have found that my sourdoughs always turn out quite heavy and dense in texture, compared to the light, airy, deliciously chewy ones I've tried at places like Bread Ahead and The Snapery. I read a fair few recipes and online articles to find out what I was doing wrong, and it turns out to achieve that light, airy, hole-y texture that is expected in this bake, you need to treat your sourdough almost like a ciabatta, trying to keep as much air in as possible when you shape it. So I gave this a go and was really gentle when shaping, trying to manhandle the dough as little as possible, and I feel that I really got the crumb I was looking for.
This loaf, like most sours, is really amazing toasted, or simply served alongside some nice cheese. As always, I have made my sourdough using a sponge, I am not saying that this is the right or best way to go about it, it just happens to be the method that works for me every time.
Make the sponge by combining the starter, flour, honey and water in a large bowl.
Cover the sponge, with a tea towel and leave to bubble up overnight (or for at least 8 hours).
When the sponge has bubbled/foamed up quite a bit it's ready.
When the sponge is ready, stir in the flour, seeds, oil and salt and mix to form a dough (adding the water if it feels a little dry).
Tip the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes, or until it feels quite elastic.
Leave to rise overnight, or for at least 6 hours until the dough has doubled in size.
When the dough has risen, really gently remove it from the bowl and shape it into a ball (being as careful to keep in a much air as possible).
Place your loaf onto a lined baking tray (or into a proving basket if you have one) and cover with a tea towel.
Leave the loaf to rise for at least 3 hours, or until it has puffed up considerably.
When the loaf is ready, make a couple of slashes in the top with a sharp knife and dust it with a little flour.
Bake for around 40 minutes or until the bottom of the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.

All Good Wishes for 2009! A few of the "old" crowd will be back for a week from 11th July 2009 - so if you want any more info send me an email (address below).
NEWS: 11/02/2007 We have had a few hic-cups with our computer, so maybe at long last we will get a few more photos on to the gallery. If anyone has any photographs they would like to include then please contact me, if not through this site, then email cushendunreunion@hotmail.co.uk.
I know a few people are going back for a few days again this summer, possibly last week of July, first in August. If anyone is interested in meeting up, then please make contact.
Welcome to the Cushendun Reunion Website.
No mobile phone, no internet, black and white telly though, so we could watch Top of the Pops.
Swinging Sixties, Carnaby Street, The Beatles, Stones but for "our crowd" we had The Barn, barbecues at Salmon Port, the beach, the bridge, camels hump (did we really climb up there), then when we reached "18", on to The Blueroom, Pat's, The Bay and Glendun Hotels.
Cushendun, not quite London, late sixties early seventies, but did we have a good time?
What about friendships, could they be rekindled?
Did we have something special?
Well, judging by the Crowd who turned up on Saturday 5th August 2006, at Randals, we certainly must have!
Sounded so simple and so far away!
What sort of response would we get?
Was 18 months too long or not long enough?
Maybe it would just be a couple of us meeting in Randals on the Saturday evening, but hey, what better way to spend a Saturday evening in August!
I really had the most fantastic time trying to track people down and especially with the huge response from you all. I was amazed how many people's paths had crossed, one way or another, over the years.


Beginning June 1, 2016, according to the Financial Services Commission of Ontario, in order to make insurance premiums more affordable, the benefits and coverage regarding medical, rehabilitation and attendant care are being slashed. For most injuries, the combined limit of $86,000.00 for the aforementioned coverage is dropping to $65,000.00. For "catastrophic" injuries, there is a drop from $2,000,000.00 to $1,000,000.00. New automobile insurance policies that come into effect on or after June 1, 2016 will be subject to the changes, with current policies being impacted as of June 1, 2017.
While $1,000,000.00 or even $65,000.00 may initially sound like a lot of money, depending on whether there is a viable lawsuit against one or more individuals who may be at fault for a motor vehicle accident, it may be all you have access to for the remainder of your life. That means that careful consideration will have to go into whether or not you accept or reject certain forms of treatment in favour of other forms of treatment or assistive devices. Once the money is gone it is gone and the money can be spent a lot quicker than you might think.
According to the Ontario Trial Lawyers Association "In order to reduce insurance premiums by about 10%, the government has cut medical and care benefits for people in wheelchairs and those with severe brain injuries by $1million. So, in exchange for about $150 per insurance policy, you and your family will now not have the protection that you need to recover and have the quality of life you deserve". In light of these changes, OTLA suggests that individuals use the money they save vis-à-vis lower insurance premiums to buy optional catastrophic injury coverage totaling $2,000,000.00.
These significant changes in automobile insurance coverage could easily be the decisive aspect as to whether someone is able to achieve a full recovery and put individuals and families alike at an increased risk of having to pay out of their own pocket(s) should they require any further treatment or aid beyond the insurance limits. Individuals need to appreciate the impact that these changes have and why it is so vital that optional forms of additional coverage are obtained. Otherwise they risk being put in a much more precarious situation, left without any recourse.
If you or someone you know has been victim to a motor vehicle accident and has been suffering from serious and permanent injuries as a result, we at KCY at LAW have the expertise and experience to ensure you are armed with the knowledge you need and that you get the compensation you deserve.

"Textalyser" Device To Combat Distracted Driving Related Accidents Injured In An Accident But Back To Work?


This site is Eurocentric so I have listed mainly western artists, with only a few indigenous, Asian, South American, Pacific Islander or any other cultures but I am adding them when I can, and currently adding our Australian indigenous artists.
Advice from anyone who has first hand experience with converting information from a large table to excel or to a database would be most welcome.
I decided to do this when I discovered that I had no way of identifying, as a group, landscape artists who are women, or women in any other genre of art. This has been an ongoing project for a few years but is becoming unwieldy as it takes some work to check whether and artist has been listed more than once. Hopefully it will soon become a searchable database, but in the meantime I keep slogging away at it.

26. The alphabet city: Tepotzotlán
I wandered through the village of Tepotzotlán crisscrossed by meandering rural roads with large, seemingly prosperous houses and shops next to them.
As I turned down one later I saw a shop-sign offering to paint publicity. The rotulistas or publicity painters stamp an indelible character on the commercial façade of the edge of the city. Their work is everywhere, with its fantasy-lettering and iconic images.
Letters sometimes say more about the future of the edge than the building they are on. Not what the letters say but their shapes project the city's future, decaying government signage, glossy corporate logos, scrawled graffiti and the idiosyncratic, neat, colorful work of the hand-painters.
I particularly enjoyed the work of hand painters on Alcoholics Anonymous meeting places, where scrawling letters would radiate hope and despair. I had come to associate the neatness of the hand painters with a rural, small town, atmosphere. I imagined the slow walk of the village notables among the small shops and found something comforting in the conservative, hand-made idiosyncrasy of each commercial facade.
Tepotzotlán, with its leafy streets and colonial buildings all neatly scrawled in red and black, seemed to be an apt example, though the most interesting street signs I found were in Valle de Chalco, where they snaked over the walls in an infinity of styles and shapes. In Tepotzotlán the letters were a neat scrawl reminiscent of colonial Mexico.
I looked inside the shop and saw a man in his thirties sitting by a work-desk with a large white folder on it.
I entered and told him of my interest in typography. He said more and more people were using computer-designed publicity and billboards in front of their businesses but that there was still a good market for hand-painted publicity. Hand painted letters have the advantage of making optimal use of the available space while typical printed shop-front publicity is rectangular in shape.
He had started in this business as an apprentice to his uncle. The fonts they either copied or occasionally invented themselves as the need arose. He spent a lot of time painting over graffiti. He said sometimes he respected the invention of graffiti artists but that this was rare occurrence. It was a lot to ask him to respect their work when they didn't respect his.
Another rotulista in Ciudad Nezahualcóyotl later told me that sometimes he was asked to paint murals in places where there was a lot of graffiti. It was not the quality of the work which spared the walls graffiti but what was depicted. Some figures were too widely respected to be covered in graffiti, such as Pancho Villa and the Virgin de Guadalupe. Nobody would write their tag over the flashing eyes of Emiliano Zapata.
Neighborhoods take shape under the hand of the designers of commercial signage. They know which shops are opening and where. They know the commercial tastes of the people.
The man told me that the uniformity of the letters in Tepotzotlán was because of a municipal program to create a uniform, urban image attractive to tourists reminiscent of a quaint provincial town. These were not traditional letters. Rather a letter-type from other regions had been brought to Tepotzotlán. It was fake antiquity, not that anybody would notice among these cobbled streets and leafy lanes.
He said that following a script was a little bit more boring, but that it did help the village with the colonial convent to attract more tourists. In the end the client determines the product. The rotulista paints what the client wants.
And Tepotzotlán wanted to be a rural colonial treasure under a hill to the north of the city, not another suburb swallowed in concrete. The letters on the wall said so.

D&AD Annual 2011 goes green
( Computer Arts )
The 49th D&AD Annual is with us -- and it's the the most sustainable version yet. Airside's Nat Hunter explained how this achieved at the book's launch party in London last night
Now in it's 49th year, the D&AD Annual is a celebration of the best work in the design, advertising and creative industries over the last 12 months, but this year's version is arguably it's most important.
The aim from the outset was to come up with a whole new -- and environmentally conscious -- way of mass publishing can be emulated and improved on in future years. The hope is that creatives and design agencies will also embrace a more sustainable way of doing things with their own projects -- something that could have a beneficial impact on us all.
The D&AD Annual 2011 (opens in new tab) is the brainchild of D&AD president and AllofUs founder Sanky, Airside creative director Nat Hunter and Pentagram graphic designer Harry Pearce. The result is an annual with an 82 percent lower carbon footprint than the 2010 edition -- and a sustainable model for the future.
D&AD Annual 2011 second section
D&AD Annual 2011: embracing sustainability
At the launch event at D&AD's new East London headquarters last night, Nat Hunter -- who is also director of Three Trees Don't Make A Forest (opens in new tab) -- explained the thinking behind the D&AD Annual 2011:
"The first thing we did we asked whether we should make an Annual. That's the really big question that no-one had ever ever really asked: should we be making an Annual in this day and age?
"One of the obvious possibilities was to make it digital. People think that digital means that it doesn't take any resources, that it doesn't use any energy. In fact, when we looked into it, there are two issues with digital: one is longevity of data, so if you looked at the D&AD website in 2001 -- 10 years ago -- it would be pretty shonky, pretty rubbish. If you looked at any of my websites from 10 years ago they'd look pretty rubbish.
"If we made an iPad app now for the Annual in 10-20 years time it would be so outdated -- we'll be looking at holographic apps or something by then, it'll be completely different.
"So keeping that data alive for decades was one issue -- and the Annual is something that tends to be alive for a long time; people have kept all 49 Annuals and then traded them for lots of money on eBay, so we knew it would be something that would sit on people's shelves and be valued for a long time.
"The second issue with digital data is that you've got to keep it on a server somewhere and that server using electricity and every time someone downloads it or accesses it, it uses large amounts of energy. So, actually, when you do the figures a good old-fashioned book comes really off the wire, so we decided to make a book.
D&AD Annual 2011 front cover
D&AD Annual 2011: building the book
"Once we decided to make a book, we got really forensic about every single detail. The main issues were the paper, the energy used and the transport: what kind of paper should we use? Why? What's the balance? You don't want to make a book that's too flimsy, you still want a book that feels gorgeous, that feels like people will keep it for decades…
"The result is that [the D&AD Annual 2011] is a kilogram lighter than last year. If you buy an Annual tonight, take it home and compare it to last year's, it's the same size, it sits on the shelf in the same way as last year's Annual, but it's a whole kilogram lighter. That was one of our main intentions. We used 40 per cent less paper in the process.
"The carbon dioxide emissions – technical – are 82 percent less than last year's Annual. In essence, how we've done it is we've changed the location of the fabrication from China to Europe and instead of using trees to make the paper, we've used post-consumer waste -- paper that we thrown in the bin and recycled – to make the paper.
We made it in Austria, where about 70 percent of their energy is from hydro power. The paper is from Austria and the printing in Trento, Italy uses completely different processes from what they use in China.
"I think the main thing is that it's a really beautiful book. I think that sustainability is seen as something of a hair shirt: 'Oh god, we've got to make it sustainable, it's going to be really horrible.' But when you look at the book I think you'll agree that we've made something that is using way fewer resources, but still maintains the integrity of what we're trying to do."

5 important facts about the D&AD Annual 2011
The Annual's 400 pages are printed on 80gsm recycled, uncoated paper.
The cover is made from 100% recycled board, covered in FSC-approved paper and laminated with a cellulose finish.
By knocking nearly one kilogram off the Annual's weight, D&AD drove down shipping costs and its carbon footprint. Moving production from China to Italy and Austria also had an enormous impact.
The Annual is printed using vegetable-based inks. This reduces run-off into waterways from the chemicals that are usually used to produce printer's inks.
CO2 emissions for this year's Annual are 0.8kg, compared to 4.3kg for the 2010 version.
The D&AD Annual 2011 is published by Taschen (opens in new tab) and costs £34.99.

Comedian Jerry Seinfeld once said, "Loyalty to any one sports team is pretty hard to justify, because the players are always changing; the team could move to another city. You're actually rooting for the clothes when you get right down to it."
Still, we persist in pouring our heart and soul into following our teams. So, in all this devotion, have you ever wondered where some of those beloved team names come from? Some are obvious geographic matches, like baseball's Texas Rangers or football's Miami Dolphins. And, there's also the historical angle, like the New England Patriots or the San Francisco (gold rush) 49ers. But, what about those real head-scratchers? We've got the answers.
The Lakers have long been a marquee team in Southern California. Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar kicked the glam factor into high gear in the 1980s as they led the "Showtime" Lakers to five titles, with actor Jack Nicholson as a court-side fixture. But, have you ever wondered: What is a laker?
Is it "a person associated with a lake," like our definition implies. Seems unlikely within the context of the sunny skies, lazy beaches, and palm trees in SoCal, right? Wrong! Actually, Minneapolis was the original home for this team, and with Minnesota being the "Land of 10,000 Lakes," it's clear to see how the name fits. When they moved to much warmer climates in the 1960 off-season, their team name moved, too.
Way back in the day (late 1800s), the Brooklyn team was referred to as the Brooklyn Trolley Dodgers, because of the many trolleys on tracks that ran along the streets of the borough. If you didn't dodge them, you were in for a world of pain. The team name was eventually shortened to just Dodgers.
Our Canadian readers will know what canuck means: "a term used to refer to a Canadian, especially a French Canadian." And, even though this can be a slightly offensive term it became the team's name.
According to Mental Floss, "Johnny Canuck, who originally appeared as a Canadian political cartoon character in 1869, was reinvented as a comic book action hero who fought Adolf Hitler, among other villains, during World War II. Canuck [soon became] slang for Canadian, making Vancouver's hockey team the Canadian equivalent of the New York Yankees, with a little less money."
Celtic as we define it is "a branch of the Indo-European family of languages, including especially Irish, Scottish Gaelic, Welsh, and Breton, which survive now in Ireland, the Scottish Highlands, Wales, and Brittany." The team's website credits team founder Walter Brown with this name.
Apparently, he and a Boston Garden publicity staffer were discussing team names in the summer of 1946. Among the names tossed around were Whirlwinds, Unicorns, and Olympics. (The Boston Unicorns?) Anyway, Brown threw out the name Celtics, and it stuck. "Boston is full of Irishmen. We'll put them in green uniforms and call them the Boston Celtics.", he said on the site. And, so they did.
Their name was chosen in a fan contest, but not everyone liked it. Mental Floss quoted a Tampa columnist as saying "So far, I've fielded about 20 phone calls protesting Devil Rays, and most of the callers have described themselves as Christians who are upset about the word devil." So, in 2007, they shortened it to Rays, emphasizing sunshine over aquatic species (and you know, Satan).
What does the scenic, picturesque state of Utah have to do with jazz? Other than having residents who might enjoy that style of music, not a lot.
But, the team originally played their games in New Orleans, and there's that geographical connection. New Orleans + Jazz = logical.
This team's name has everything to do with timing. Prior to their 1995 on-court debut, a national contest was held to choose the team name (seems like a lot of these team names are picked this way), and Raptors was the winner. It was short for those really bad dudes, the velociraptors. The name was influenced by the 1993 movie Jurassic Park.
Sports Illustrated says the name was almost dropped recently, perhaps because it sounds a bit dated due to the movie influence. But, it wasn't and the Raptors play on.
This team was originally called the Baltimore Bullets in 1946 (named for a nearby ammo factory). However, in 1996, the team's owner wanted a new nickname that didn't have an unintended connection to violence (bullets = guns) and selected Wizards. Their website says, "The name depicts energy and an omnipresent power, and brings to light what is hoped to be the wise and magical nature of the team." Magical, indeed.
When the Dutch setters came to the New World in the 1600s, they wore a style of pants known as knickerbockers, or simply knickers. The Knicks website says "Through history, the Dutch settler "Knickerbocker" character became synonymous with New York City. The city's most popular symbol of the late 19th and early 20th centuries was "Father Knickerbocker," complete with cotton wig, three-cornered hat, buckled shoes, and, of course, knickered pants."
In the summer of 1946, some team officials merely put suggestions (many of which had to do with knickerbockers or Father Kinckerbocker) into a hat, and, surprise surprise, Knickerbockers was chosen.
The New York Mets played their first season in the National League in 1962, and it wasn't the most auspicious debut. Losing 120 of their 160 games, surprisingly the team would go on to win the World Series just seven years later.
But, back to their name . . . it is actually an abbreviation of their official corporate name, the "The New York Metropolitan Baseball Club, Inc." It also gave a nod to an old Metropolitans team that existed back in the 1880s.
This once-proud franchise has fallen on some hard times recently, to be sure. The fact that the Browns are the last slide in this deck is coincidental, we swear.
The Browns are the only team in the league to feature an unadorned helmet on both sides because really what would a mascot be for a brown? So, where did their name come from? Answer: the last name of their founder, Paul Brown. He would later go on to found the Cincinnati Bengals as well, and he is often considered the father of the sport.


The closeout deadline for the 2014-2015 Direct Loan Program Year is Friday, July 29, 2016. This is the last processing day before the end of the program year. All school data must be received and accepted by this date to be included in a school's final Ending Cash Balance for the year.
All cash management, disbursement reporting, and monthly reconciliation regulatory requirements supersede the closeout deadline. If a school is meeting these regulatory requirements, the final closeout stage should begin no later than the last award end date at the school for a given program and year. A school should be able to reconcile to a zero Ending Cash Balance and close out soon after its final disbursements and should not wait until the closeout deadline.
Prior to program year close out, schools should ensure that fields related to Subsidized Usage Limit Applies (SULA), such as academic year dates, loan period dates, loan and/or disbursement amounts, etc., are updated appropriately.
If your school participated in the Direct Loan program during the 2014-2015 Award Year, you should have received the U.S. Department of Education's Closeout Letter. You must sign and return the letter once you have fully reconciled all of your Direct Loan awards and have no more outstanding Direct Loan disbursements pending and have otherwise confirmed closeout on the COD Website. Friday, July 29, 2016 is the last processing day of the program year, so all school data must be received and accepted by this date to be included in a school's final Ending Cash Balance for the year.
Review all pending disbursements and determine whether these need to be reported as actuals (DRI = TRUE) and if not, reduce these to $0 and make changes to loan period dates if needed. This will ensure that all disbursement data has been correctly reported to the COD System, and ensure subsidized usage limit calculations are correct for your borrowers. For more information on Subsidized Usage Limit Applies (SULA) reductions, see Q3 in the attachment to this announcement.
Ensure that all "unbooked" loans are booked or inactivated (reduced to $0).
Return all refunds of cash. All refunds for the Direct Loan Program must be returned via G5.
