Short Summaries of Top Stories
7 November 2017 - The Rita Marley Foundation recently conducted organic farming training programmes for high school and kindergarten students in an effort to help youths value the importance of organic agriculture and its tremendous benefits to humankind. A news release from the foundation said that a total of 105 students at Bustamante High School in Clarendon received instruction on the characteristics and practices of organic farming from US-based agricultural consultant Steven Herbert.

8 August 2014 - A law firm on the Caribbean island of Jamaica has commissioned an innovative renewable energy system that combines solar and wind into one device -- hybrid 'SolarMills'. Not only will the 50 SolarMills provide renewable energy, they will protect against surges during extreme weather events. Located less than a quarter-mile from Kingston's coast, typical wind gusts reach 60 miles per hour. The devices will produce 25 kilowatts of wind and 55 kilowatts of solar energy, generating 106,000 kilowatt-hours a year for Myers, Fletcher, and Gordon. (more)
17 July 2014 - The world's largest wind and solar hybrid renewable energy project was recently put into operation in Kingston, Jamaica. The WindStream Technologies array was commissioned for the rooftop of the prominent local law firm, Myers, Fletcher, and Gordon. Expected to generate approximately 106,000kWh annually with a return on investment in less than four years, the plant should save the firm approximately $2 million in energy costs over the course of its 25-year lifetime.

Jamaica to approve bill targeting lottery scams
30 March 2013 - The House of Representatives in Jamaica has passed a bill this week calling for tougher prosecution of those involved in multimillion-dollar lottery scams that mostly have targeted elderly Americans. The governor general is expected soon to sign the bill, which the Senate also passed on 21 March. The bill targets advanced fee fraud, identity theft and the use of technology for illegally accessing financial accounts. The bill also prohibits making threats and coercing victims over the phone.

UN tourism agency welcomes Jamaica's relaxation of visa policies for certain nationals
16 March 2013 - he United Nations tourism agency has welcomed the decision by the Government of Jamaica to relax visa regulations for tourists originating in a number of Eastern European countries, while also extending its current visa waiver system for some Latin American nationals. The visa waiver for tourists from Russia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia, and Ukraine visiting Jamaica for up to 30 days was announced on 6 March 2013, together with the indefinite extension of the visa waiver in place for nationals of Colombia, Panama, and Venezuela, according to the UN World Tourism Organization (UNWTO).

Jamaica to abolish colonial-era laws
15 November 2012 - Jamaica is preparing to abolish a slavery-era law allowing flogging and whipping as means of punishing prisoners, the Caribbean country's justice ministry said Thursday. Justice Minister Mark Golding says the 'degrading' punishment is an anachronism which violates Jamaica's international obligations and is preventing Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller's government from ratifying the UN convention against torture. 'The time has come to regularize this situation by getting these colonial-era laws off our books once and for all,' Golding said in a Thursday statement. (more)
Chinese delegation signs grants with Jamaica
19 September 2011 - Chinese Vice Premier Hui Liangyu and a 60-member delegation arrived in Jamaica's capital Monday to sign two grants to boost the island's development as the Asian economic giant steps up its investments across the Caribbean. Chinese and Jamaican officials signed two grants worth $3.1 million. The money will go to projects mutually agreed upon after consultation by both governments. Another Chinese Vice Premier, Wang Qishan, announced he wanted to see the implementation of more projects that focus on finance, infrastructure, and tourism. China's ministry of commerce announced that Beijing intends to collaborate on solar energy projects and the construction of schools. (more)
Jamaica says tourism projects to create 3,000 jobs
4 April 2011 - The government of Jamaica says the upcoming expansion of tourism facilities in the Caribbean island's northwest will create about 3,000 jobs and help attract more visitors. In a Friday statement Tourism Minister Edmund Bartlett announced the formal opening of the Dolphin Cove attraction in Lucea where visitors can interact with the marine mammals. (more)
Jamaica plans affordable homes for tourism workers
2 January 2009 - Jamaica is working with a real estate company to build affordable homes for tourism workers. The island's housing minister says the government and Rose Hall Developments Limited will develop 130 acres (53 hectares) valued at $1 million. Horace Chang says the first batch of homes will be built near Montego Bay. The government said Friday that it plans similar projects across the island. (more)
Jamaica: Sweeter days ahead for honey producers
5 January 2007 - The government of Jamaica stated it invested $11.5 million in 2006, to improve production in the honey industry. The investment seems to have paid off, as honey production in the country has grown from 3.2 gallons to 7.5 gallons per hive. (more)
Success of Maharishi's Programmes
2 August 2013 - A private school in Montego Bay, Jamaica, has begun adopting the Quiet Time programme, which includes the practice of Transcendental Meditation. At the school graduation ceremony this year, when the Quiet Time programme was introduced and the director rose to speak, the children in the audience began to cheer. Seeing positive changes in the atmosphere at the school and the eagerness of the students towards the programme, the principal plans to visit Maharishi School of the Age of Enlightenment in Iowa, USA, to learn more about Consciousness-Based Education. (more)
14 July 2012 - The principal of a private school in the Caribbean has begun offering Consciousness-Based Education. She had already established on her own a quiet time programme for her students, 'but when she was presented the knowledge and opportunity to use Transcendental Meditation as the modality or methodology during this quiet time programme, within a few minutes she decided to accept this programme for her school', said a Transcendental Meditation teacher. (more)
28 April 2014 - A growing chorus of Jamaicans said Monday they are exasperated with the government's failure to stop noxious, sooty smoke from billowing out of a sprawling waste dump that has been burning for a week and a half. People in communities around the capital say they are concerned about the health effects of breathing in acrid smoke and microscopic pollutants put in the air by the latest blaze at the Riverton City dump, apparently started by an arsonist. A weeklong fire there in March sent plumes of gray smoke over densely populated sections of southern Jamaica. Two years ago, a government study found alarming levels of volatile organic compounds were released by a raging fire at the same dump. The cancer-causing chemical benzene was detected at three times the World Health Organization's air standard. Staff at health clinics said they had seen an uptick in people seeking help for respiratory distress. (more)
26 April 2012 - Displaced persons in the Cote d'Ivoire -- Ivory Coast -- feel they have been forgotten. Some 30,000 people fled to the Catholic Mission in Duekoue after a massacre in March 2011. Earlier this year most of those still at the Catholic Mission were moved to Nahibly, where 4,500 people are currently sheltering. Most displaced families told IRIN they could not return to their homes because they were destroyed, or because their farms were taken over by other groups and are now being guarded by armed guards or 'dozos'. Much of the long-term inter-community conflict in the west is rooted in issues of land tenure, as members of different ethnic groups claim ownership to the same land. The United Nations has reported continued cross-border attacks near the town of Tai in southwest Cote d'Ivoire. In March the UN missions in Côte d'Ivoire (ONUCI) and Liberia (UNMIL) announced they were launching border patrols to ensure the safe return of refugees, and prevent the flow of weapons and cross-border attacks. However, a UN military official, who asked to remain unnamed, said after the announcement they were only devoting 34 troops to patrol the porous 450 mile-long border. Security Sector Reform (SSR) and Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration (DDR) have been slow to roll out. Thousands of illegal weapons are circulating in the country, even though the UN constantly gathers weapons and ammunition. (more)
2 February 2012 - Jamaica is rife with police violence, affected by what human rights activists say is a culture of impunity that has allowed police to serve as judge, jury, and executioner. And when families of alleged victims try to get justice through the court systems, their wait usually turns out to be long, painful, and fruitless. More than 2,000 fatal shootings by security officers were reported by police over the last decade in this Caribbean country of 2.8 million people, but only one officer stands convicted of involvement in a wrongful killing. Police almost always claim that the deaths came as they responded to unprovoked gunfire. Police statistics show that more accused officers have fled the island than have been convicted of abuse since 1999. (more)
Jamaica: Stronger fight needed against corruption
23 March 2011 - An independent investigator for Jamaica's parliament on Wednesday called for the creation of a special agency to fight corruption, asserting official graft has reached 'systemic' levels in the Caribbean country. 'For years, and despite having on paper what some might regard to be a relatively comprehensive anti-corruption institutional framework, corruption in Jamaica, particularly the corruption that is perceived to be taking place in high places, has enjoyed a field day,' the investigator said at the close of a two-day regional anti-corruption conference. 'It should now be crystal clear that the battle against Jamaica's systemic corruption cannot be effectively won unless and until the anti-corruption institutional framework is radically and comprehensively transformed,' he said.

Jamaica struggles to cut ties between gov't, gangs
3 June 2010 - Prime Minister Bruce Golding's pledge to crush street gangs and replace their strong-armed rule with social programs for the poor has a hollow ring to it in slums where 'dons' like Coke have long provided services and imposed a disciplined law and order the government could never achieve. Slum dwellers have a deep distrust of the police, whom they often see as agents of the country's elite. Many Jamaicans also express skepticism that their two main political parties can wean themselves from their decades-old alliances with the underworld bosses. The political parties built the gangs: Dons received government contracts, and in exchange delivered the votes of their people. Residents were caught in the middle: 'The poor are exploited from both sides,' said Yvonne McCalla Sobers, head of the Jamaican rights group Families Against State Terrorism. (more)
Four killed as Jamaicans clash over drug lord
25 May 2010 - Soldiers and police stormed a Kingston slum on Monday and traded gunfire with supporters of an alleged Jamaican drug lord who faces extradition to the United States. At least four people have been killed, including two policemen, one soldier, and a civilian, and several others were wounded in two days of violence. The government declared a state of emergency on Sunday in volatile sections of the capital. There were unconfirmed reports of additional civilian deaths and reports that military helicopters dropped explosives on the Tivoli Gardens neighbourhood of West Kingston where alleged drug lord Christopher 'Dudus' Coke is believed to be hiding out.

Guns from America fuel Jamaica's gang wars
22 June 2009 - One of the most popular US imports is one we rarely hear about: handguns, rifles and bullets that stoke one of the world's highest murder rates. The volume is much less than the flow of US guns into Mexico that end up in the hands of drug cartels - Jamaican authorities recover fewer than 1,000 firearms a year. But of those whose origin can be traced, 80 per cent come from the US, Jamaican law enforcement officials have said in interviews with The Associated Press. The US and Jamaica both prohibit the unlicensed transport of guns. But like Mexican smugglers, Jamaican ones depend on lax US gun laws, corrupt customs inspectors, and front men acting as buyers.

Jamaica's gang wars fuelled by guns from America
21 June 2009 - Ships from Miami steam into Jamaica's main harbor loaded with TV sets and blue jeans. But some of the most popular US imports never appear on the manifests: handguns, rifles, and bullets that stoke one of the world's highest murder rates. The volume is much less than the flow of U.S. guns into Mexico that end up in the hands of drug cartels -- Jamaican authorities recover fewer than 1,000 firearms a year. But of those whose origin can be traced, 80 per cent come from the US, Jamaican law enforcement officials have said in interviews with The Associated Press. With arsenals to rival police firepower, the gangs are blamed for 90 per cent of the homicides in Jamaica -- 1,611 last year, about 10 times more than the US rate, relative to population. (more)

این مطالعه به بررسی ارتباط بین میزان هویت‌پذیری معلمان زبان انگلیسی (فارسی زبان) با خودکارایی آنها و موفقیت زبان آموزان پرداخت. هشتاد و هفت معلم از مؤسسات مختلف زبان در این مطالعه شرکت داشتند و به پرسشنامه‌هایی میزان هویت پذیری معلمان و خودکارایی پاسخ دادند. همچنین از شرکت کنندگان خواسته شد تا میانگین نمرات کسب شدۀ زبان‌آموزان خود در ترم قبل را ثبت نمایند. نتایج تحلیل داده‌ها وجود ارتباط موثرمعنی‌داری بین میزان هویت‌پذیری معلمان با میزان خودکارایی آنها و موفقیت زبان آموزان را نشان داد. تجزیه و تحلیل رگرسیون به منظور بررسی اینکه آیا مولفه‌های هویت پذیری میتواند میزان خودکارایی معلم و موفقیت زبان‌آموزان را پیش‌بینی کند، به کار گرفته‌شد. چهار زیر مجموعۀ هویت‌پذیری یعنی خودهای ایده‌آل، خودهای باید، خودهای واقعی و خودهای ترس به‌عنوان پیش‌بینی کننده‌های میزان خودکارایی معلم درنظر گرفته‌شد ورابطۀ مثبت معنی‌داری بین این زیر‌مجموعه‌ها و خود‌کارایی معلمان وجود داشت. اما تنها سه گروه از این زیر‌مجموعه‌ها شامل خودهای ایده آل، خودهای بایدو خودهای واقعی با میزان موفقیت زبان‌آموزان همبستگی مثبت معنی‌داری داشت. نتایج به دست آمده نشان داد که خودکارایی و نگرانی در خصوص پیشرفت زبان‌آموزان از عناصر کلیدی فرایند هویت‌پذیری معلمان زبان انگلیسی (فارسی زبان) است.

We at About-Face Missions are excited to announce we have launched the beginnings of our all new primary school in Bungoma, Kenya called, Neema Christian Academy (NCA). In Swahili 'neema' means grace.
It is hard to believe that only a little over two years ago Jeff and Stephanie Bys, along with seven of their children, sold everything and headed for a new life and servant-hood in Kenya. In this little time we have seen the Lord work in completely amazing and unexplained ways. We have seen the birth of Mercy Children's Home (MCH), which has grown to over 90 children and 20 plus local employees. We have also helped rebuild local homes, worked in the community, started pastoral discipleship, continue to face dangers, and planted churches. And if this were not enough, we have met so many new people though social media, people who have seen the eternal need and have come to help answer the call.
The need for such a school is huge. But why you ask? Well simple. Although public schools in Kenya are supposed to be free, they most often are not in part due to a lack of resources for such a large impoverished population. This means that the poor are unable to attend. Bungoma is one of the poorest areas in the world and considering the great lack of biblical truth and a rampant godlessness of a great majority of churches in Kenya, the need becomes ever so obvious. So this is why we have stepped up to the plate.
We have started to build a new fence for the newly purchased land just outside of MCH's main facility where NCA will be built. Construction of a school will begin soon. We have started to interview and hire qualified Kenyan teachers, order the curriculum and all the supplies needed. But as you can imagine, this paves the way for even greater serving opportunities.
If you sense the Lord calling you in some way regarding this new work in Kenya, or in other parts of the world, please feel free to learn more and contact us.

Basic addition every one can do … I think the NCAA have developed the following players for Vcr. Hutton, Stecher, Boeser, Tanev and Gaudette. That according to my math is 5 players …. Utica not so much. Or so it seems to me
Gaudette Virtanen , Goldobin, Demko, Markstrom, Baertschi have all spent time in Utica developing, and that's not including players there who have yet to play but will eventually. I'm not suggesting one is way better than the other but I am suggesting one isn't way better than the other. There is also age and eligibility factors . Most 18-19 year olds will clearly be better off in the NCAA or CHL compared to the AHL after which we have been fortunate enough to have some players ready fo the NHL .

Come on man they had a cup of coffee ( apart from Markstrom and frankly goalies have guaranteed starts and coaches assigned dirctly for them ) Certainly Virtanen spent a season but when he arrived back in Vcr he was no different than when he went ot Utica, his numbers were poor and his first year back in Vcr was very poor too, it was only this year he's shown any ability, forget his time in Utica his development stalled down there, in short I don't see Utica in the Virtanen development. As to Juolevi he's very much a wait and see, we can't speculate or dream.

I don't really think your examples are all that great. I get trying to form an argument but you've literally created nothing here with a solid foundation.
Gaudette was in the NCAA before Utica. How is that even supposed to be a point in your favour when Gaudette's clearly spent years more time in the NCAA than in Utica, part of which is even on the Canucks themselves.
Virtanen was rushed. Went to Utica for a year and just now in his 4th year is playing well. Not to mention he was kind of drafted much earlier than Gaudette, or even Boeser for that matter (as much as I am against bringing up that point).
Goldobin's spent most of his development with the Sharks or on the Canucks. He's spent very little time in Utica. He had 2 full seasons with the San Jose farm team. Only 33 games in Utica. Not enough to be considered a lot of "development in Utica" in perspective.
Demko, again, was in the NCAA before Utica. Not exactly a point in anyone's favour and silly to bring it up if you're trying to provide an argument.
Markstrom was in Florida for a lot of his development. 34 games played with the Comets. That 1/4th the games he played with Florida's farm team.
Baertschi was in Calgary for a lot of his development. Is 15 games with the Comets supposed to make Utica seem great? Why is he even mentioned in this?
Literally. All of your examples can be easily rebutted.
I'm not going to argue for and against either. I'm just more pointing out your examples pretty much say nothing, if anything actually put JameB in favour. Your examples are not exactly what I would consider to be something that tells me Utica's "as good if not better" than the NCAA. They kind of do the opposite for me outside looking into this discussion/
Edited January 14, 2019 by The Lock
The initial point I disagreed with was that the NCAA was '"much" better for development than Utica . You with me so far ? He named several players that did indeed develop in the NCAA . OK ? The fact they developed (entirely or in part) in the NCAA is really irrelevant because you can't say they wouldn't have in Utica. Now if you had a list of quality prospects that went to Utica and whose development suffered as a result that would help your case. Granted, some of the players I mentioned didn't do a lot of time in Utica but the fact remains that when they arrived there they weren't full time NHLers and now they are (or at least well on their way) so you can't make the case that Utica disturbed their progress. Virtanen was rushed ? That's another debate and again, irrelevant because he absolutely did considerable time there and seemingly benefited. Markstrom spent a whole season there . Demko more than that. Gaudette on that same path. Unless of course as soon as a player spends one minute in the NCAA all progress after that is credited to their respective school. Is that what you are suggesting? When Goldobin arrived to this team he was not an everyday NHL player and now he is ( albeit inconsistent) . He thrived during his somewhat brief stint in Utica and came out the other side an NHL player. Baertschi: same story.
I wasn't suggesting Utica was some kind of excellence academy but that I disagreed that NCAA was "way" better. I mentioned some players that did do time in Utica(to varying degrees) and didn't seem to suffer for it. The fact they did time elsewhere before is a pretty moot point.
Hopefully that clears things up for you as far as understanding my perspective.

Honestly NCAA seems to have been better for our players looking at the way Comet play and sit young guys repeatly makes me think they're a franchise more interested in winning now and not developing the young guns.

McEwan, Brisbois, Sautner, Jasek, Gaudette, Gaunce, Dahlen, Demko, and lately Lind, all seem to be developing nicely, as was Juolevi - while he was healthy. So I have no idea what you are basing your theory on. McEneny was developing very well down there too until a serious injury sidetracked his development- but, with a plus 6 and four points in his last seven games, he seems to be back on track, too. That leaves you Gadjovich and Palmu to complain about, and Palmu seems a little immature if his complaints about the coaching are correctly reported. Virtanen was sent down to Utica because he showed up to the Canucks vastly out of shape - he was in serious need of some tough love, and got it. As a result, he is a much better NHL player. Teaching fitness and conditioing- as well as defensive play are common lessons taught in the minors. Jake came back from his experience much better able to play - and he has no complaint about his treatment in Utica, quite the contrary.

It'd be interesting to see him sign but I wouldn't be opposed to him staying put either, he's clearly got a good thing going down there and should have plenty of time to hit the gym and develop physically. We'll see where he's at closer to the end of his season but I'm not sure he's ready for the AHL yet.

Not really in the mood to point out the obvious, NHL Success.... also why are you mention players who have had NCAA careers?
Also a lot of those players mentioned above hasn't even played a full season with Utica.

Idk man people keep saying that our prospects were developed in the NCAA and not in Utica but the reality is they were developed in multiple leagues throughout their careers. there are very few players who play in the AHL in the D+1 or D+2 years. And player development goes well beyond players in Utica. Ryan Johnson stays in contact with the prospects in every league, communicating with them and their plans for them, their work out regimes, what they want them to work on, etc. I mean, the Canucks just invited Jett woo out to Vancouver and have him meet the team! That's a huge part of development!
Most players in the CHL can't go to the AHL until their D+3 year unless they were born in between September 15th and December 31st (like Lind and Gadjovich). Even then, they have to be good enough to turn pro, or they will still spend their D+2 year in the CHL (like brassard).
For NCAA players, those kids usually have made the choice to go that route before they are even drafted. Going to the NCAA means you get a education of some sort (2 year diploma or 4 year degree if you stick with it) and if your parents have saved in an RESP or something you can access that money. Plus, it's ibviously great development (lots of gym and practice time for college players). So it's normal for NCAA players to play a couple years in college.
European players are interesting. Someone like joulevi, who is from Finland, still has to abide by the CHL agreement and couldn't play in the AHL last season so he had to be loaned to play in Liiga. If not for the agreeement, it's very likely he would have been in Utica last season as well. For players like pettersson, dahlen, etc. who played their junior years in Europe, I think you really have to appreciate that these are young kids, mostly teenagers or maybe 20 Yr olds, moving to the other side of the world where they speak a different language and have different customs. Expecting them to come to the AHL immidiatly after being drafted is overestimating the impact of moving to a new country. Yeah some kids come over earlier to play in the CHL (joulevi, palmu for example) but not all kids can do it right away.
This is the case around the league. Players usually don't start in the AHL until they are 20-21 years old. So complaining that the players are being developed in the NCAA or in the CHL and not in Utica is stupid. The AHL is a pro hockey league, probably the 3rd or 4th best league in the world. Playing in the AHL is not for learning how to play hockey but for learning how to play as a pro.
Could Utica develop player better? Probably.
But arguing that Demko, Goldobin, baertschi, virtanen, markstrom, and gaudette weren't developed in Utica because they played in other leagues first or they only played 1 season or half a season in the AHL is stupid. The AHL's existence is based entirely around players like that.
Very few players play 3-4 years in the AHL and then turn into successful NHL players. It is much more common to spend 2 or fewer there.
The question remains is development in Utica a plus. If we say most players have only a short stay in the AHL then I guess you have to ask is it worth having a farm team for any thing other than park a few ( so I'm told with little hope ) to fill in for injuries. Having a cup of coffee in Utica does little to add value, it seems. I would think the majority of players show thier best between 17-21. If they haven't shown high skill level by that point chnaces are they won't. Few NCAA players graduate from 4 years of hockey and move into the NHL ( of the hundreds playing NCAA maybe 5-9 FA play NHL after graduation/year) How many players 22 or older mover from Utica to the NHL. Does spending 2-3 years in the AHL offer a good route to the NHL ? I tend to believe some teams do manage their farm teams better but even then it's a limited return. Maybe the answer is larger NHL rosters, agreements with EU leagues. But frankly we have a large roster of player in the AHL with little likelihood of success. As we speak it strikes me that the AHL is for the most part a myth

Wow. If you don't think Virtanen's year in Utica assisted his development I don't think there are many on this board I have ever disagreed more with about a given player/topic. Further, your general approach to understanding player development is so far removed from what I consider to be reality. Again, wow.
There are far more NHL players than there are not who benefited from playing professional hockey prior to their NHL careers getting full traction and the AHL has consistently been the number one league for that step to take place. Your small and biased sample size is so far at odds with the history of the Canucks specifically and the NHL in general - the AHL, and in this case Utica (and Manitoba previously for the past two), played and continues to play a massive role for developing players for Vancouver.

He needs some bulk but his skating and smarts are NHL ready. I can see him being in the NHL within three years for sure. I would think another year in NCAA like Boeser did followed by one or two years in AHL would be perfect for this kid.

I'm by no means a Virtanen hater, but that being said him being in Utica under Travis green special advisement was good for him, but with that also being said their isn't much success coming out of Utica. (By success I mean NHL success)
Sure their still a few case that are still to be determined but I'm not liking the direction in Utica. (IMO)

You seem to only equate "success" to goals and points. In reality, there is so much more to the NHL than those parameters and for every two or three players that drive those stats on a team, you need a whole pile more to play key roles inclusive of the role that Jake is increasingly playing very well for Vancouver. If you do not care to notice or appreciate that role and the part the Utica year played in him learning that role, that is fine but doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
Ok but think of it like this Utica hasn't developed us anything special, Virtanen has to work on conditioning IQ and Compete there.
Some failures they have had though, Archie despite his offensive side disappearing in the NHL his physical side would to, Gaunce his offensive side became not existent in the NHL hunter shinkuarik( can't remember how to spell his name) have 1 good half season in Utica but was a straight failure all together, how long was pedan down there so we even talk about this? List go on and on. I'm just saying Utica hasn't had much success with much and sure I do think Virt is some ways is a success he's a very inconsistent 2nd line winger but a good 3rd line winger with still room to go but he was a 6th overall pick he was picked there because he should have already had some of these things right?
Edit: long story short do you think Utica is doing a goos job developing our guys?
-Most players who are going to be closer to 'instant' NHL successes go straight to the NHL (Horvat, Boeser, Pettersson etc) bypassing Utica altogether. They're rare and generally, high picks. That is not the 'normal' development path of most players.
(*Horvat did play a few conditioning stint games in Utica).
-We're only starting to see the initial cresting waive of later drafted (largely 2nd round +) prospects entering Utica (Gaudette, Dahlen, Lind, Jasek etc). Way too small of a period of time and sample size of players too make any declarations on how effective their time is or isn't in Utica. You'd probably need another 3'ish years to make any reasonably accurate assessment of how well Utica developed these players.
-The few early prospects of the small sample size of applicable players who have shown a higher likelihood of becoming NHL'ers but also needing development time, have all been well served by time in Utica thus far (Demko, Virtanen, Brisebois...).
-Assuming their should be 'mores success coming out of Utica' at this point completely ignores how long we've actually been rebuilding, how bare the cupboards were when we started, the quality of players in those cupboards at that time and that it generally takes 2+ years for most prospects to play out of Junior/college/Europe after being drafted to even arrive in Utica.
We'll have to wait and see but I've watch a good chunk of game and the way to team runs they don't seem to want people to improve on the offensive side of the game.
they let the vets run wild while all the young guys sit or play on line with less offensive upside.

Q: Использование библиотек в проектах Хочется получить совет о том, насколько оправдано использование библиотек в проектах?
Я участвовал всего в одном более-менее серьезном проекте. В первом был наставник, который рекомендовал некоторые библиотеки для использования. Собственно, было указание - вопросов не возникало, сказано - сделано.
В настоящее время я работаю над проектом один, есть приложение на iOS, мне нужно реализовать на Android. Соответственно iOSник мне даёт какие-то советы и тд. Так вот, суть в том, что его приложение хотя и сложное, не использует библиотек. Все сам написал. Мне советует тоже самое сделать.
Когда я обращаюсь к гуглу то выходит, что для работы с сетью используйте Volley, если приложение работает с БД, то добавляйте в зависимости GreenDao или ORMLite, а когда задаешь вопрос по обработке событий, то в ответ слышишь:  "зачем изобретать велосипед, когда есть EventBus"!?
Мне, вроде бы, все нравится, но может тоже лучше будет взять библиотечку (легковесную, кстати), заплатить за нее один раз и обновлять иногда?
Ну или уже не париться и спокойно решать задачи, используя библиотеки?
UPD: В случае, если я могу решать своими силами вышеупомянутые задачи, использование библиотек обосновано. Но если я еще не успел овладеть этими знаниями? Не лучше ли будет, где можно попытаться сделать велосипед, чтобы получить знания, и потом осознано взяться за библиотеки?

A: В современном мире без использования каких-либо библиотек не обходится ни одно более-менее серьезное приложение.
Другой вопрос, что бывает так, что качество библиотеки вас не устраивает (нет нужных функций, работает неправильно/неудобно и т.д., плохо расширяется). Тогда вы можете поискать аналоги или же попытаться написать свой "велосипед". Но "велосипед" нужно будет тщательно тестировать, поддерживать по мере развития, перехода на новую версию языка и т.д.
С другой стороны, однажды завязавшись на какую-либо библиотеку, вы будете вынуждены использовать её и дальше по мере развития проекта, что иногда приводит к сложным ситуациям. Например, сложность кастомизации какой-нибудь, на первый взгляд незначительной детали, которую вы не обнаружили в начале проекта, а в конце проекта это срочно понадобилось, и вам приходится городить кучу костылей.
В любом случае, библиотеки приучают и поощряют повторное использование кода, что является важным качеством для программиста и программ, которые он пишет.
Риторическое отступление:
даже банальный helloworld на Java будет использовать пакет System.out, который не является частью языка. Что уж говорить про коллекции, работу с файлами и т.д. Они являются частью стандартной библиотеки языка, таким образом, с формальной точки зрения, от использования библиотек вы никуда не уйдете.
UPD: Я считаю, что не нужно пытаться охватить всё, как вы предлагаете.  Предположим, что в вашем приложении должно быть шифрование данных, вы будете писать свою реализацию RSA? Для фотокамеры свой JPEG-компрессор? Для хранения данных свой JDBC и свою БД впридачу?
Если есть качественный инструмент, то почему бы им не пользоваться? Пользуясь библиотеками, вы уменьшаете вероятность ошибки в своем коде.

A: В коммерческой разработке важно, что бы продукт выпустить побыстрее. А баги можно потом будет дофиксить (да, нужно выпускать без багов, но они такие, всегда пролезут). Поэтому в коммерческой разработке лучше сразу брать готовые проверенные библиотеки и делать работающий прототип.
А потом смотреть, если библиотека работает плохо - заменить другой или пофиксить саму библиотеку. Или если из библиотеки  нужна одна функция, а вес у нее - десятки мегабайт, тогда есть смысл переписать ручками.
А писать изначально все самостоятельно - накладно. В современном мире все очень быстро меняется. А печатать быстрее человек не всегда может.

Так вот, суть в том, что его приложение хотя и сложное, не использует библиотек. Все сам написал. Мне советует тоже самое сделать.

А есть гарантия, что он сам все написал? может он накопировал код с чужих библиотек? Или если все написал сам, то покрыл всякие "краевые эффекты".

Мне вроде бы все нравится, но может вместо меня тоже лучше будет взять библиотечку (легковесную, кстати), заплатить за нее один раз и обновлять иногда?

Если финансы позволяют, то почему и не купить (только желательно с полными сорцами. Без них крайне не рекомендую.).

A: Для Android все вточности наоборот - используй библиотеки как можно чаще (если это, конечно, оправдано). насколько я знаю, в iOS библиотеки чаще всего распространяются без открытого исходного кода, или, еще хуже - платно. В Java все совершенно наоборот. Подавляющее большинство библиотек имеют открытый исходный код. Они отлично оптимизированы, и их настолько много, что можно найти библиотеку почти для любой задачи.
Кроме того, ИМХО первое правило (ленивого) программиста - научиться повторно использовать код (как свой, так и чужой)

Barnes and Noble's upcoming Nook Tablet 7 may feature Google Play Store
By Oct 28, 2016 NEWSbarnes and noble, disqus, getelements, google play store, head, line, news, nook tablet 7
Barnes and Noble started off with its Nook tablet line with a heavily skinned version of Android. Since then, the company has dropped that effort and optioned to put the Nook brand on other company's tablets, like from Samsung.
But it looks like Barnes & Noble may be going back to its old ways with a new tablet that just passed through the FCC. It's called the Nook Tablet 7, and a lot of the specific details of the tablet are unknown at this point. The FCC report regarding the upcoming device shows there's a MediaTek MTM8163 quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 processor with Mali-T720 MP2 graphics, and that there are front- and rear-facing cameras equipped.
There is also a micro-USB port, a microSD card slot to expand upon whatever amount of storage is built into the tablet, and the battery is measured in at 3000mAh.
Another key detail is the inclusion of support for the Google Play Store. Barnes & Noble ended its own digital storefront some time back, so it would be important to have access to Google's option. Which version of Android will be on the tablet is unknown.
Liliputing suggests B&N could be positioning the upcoming Nook Tablet 7 in the $50 market, up to compete with the similarly-priced Amazon Fire Tablet. As for a release date, that's unknown, but it would be good of Barnes and Noble to get it out in time for the holidays.

Okay, we're all familiar with the incredible photographic decals and transposes that rectified our hotrods alight.
Roaring glows film across the body of the car, and the effects are stunning, right? Sure. But what did they do in the old days, pre the manufacture of adhesive hue images?
Well, it was all done by the trickery of make-up! Anyone who has realise a real spark depict activity on a hot rod will have to agree the results are excellent and include an individual identity to a vehicle.
Hot perches are means to sizzling, and flaring decorative procedures make them swelter.

And how better to show the slightly risque and disaffected side of your hot rod auto and your persona than by having glows nuzzling your favorite beast's bodywork.
The range of ready-to-go decals and assigns these days is immensely thorough, with many of them using photo-representation which can cause very realistic decisions.
And while these effects can make a gondola' pop' there's nothing quite so awe-inspiring as a sweet flare dye job.
The process of flame, depending on how detailed a flame effect is expected can be quite a laborious one.
It necessary countless sift stages of masking out the flare appearances and, including in the case of the most simple appearing artwork, repeated mantles of dye is a requirement to scattered onto the body.
People who buy hot rod, for the most side, are buying fantasies, they're buying an extension of the powerful internal aspects of themselves, something that flies in the face of all that is monotony and run-of-the-mine in the world.
It is after all his skill you are paying for, and there's no question that a truly professional cover occupation makes a big difference.
But don't sell your home and your cats hitherto, you are able to have such cases done in stages without them glancing out of place or unfinished.
A motorcycle helmet has a practical use. It acts as a safe barricade in the event of head-pavement disagreements and remembers flaws from crushing against your teeth or ears.
Helmets can be bulky, heavy and sickening to wear. Nonetheless, you can build its own experience amusing by pimping your motorcycle helmet in your mode with shades, graphics, and add-ons.

Other fans sports helmets in dynamic straddles of colorings and structures. Some feature elegant texts or blown back flames while others evidence pride in a college or regional sports squad.
The components that can be incorporated into helmet motifs are incessant, and each one can be as peculiar as the equestrian wearing it.
To show real form, numerous equestrians coincide their helmet pattern to their bicycle or razz drapes. Jackets, boots or individuals in the same dye or boasting the same designing as the helmet create a ended ensemble.
Painting the helmet to parallel layout components on the bicycle is also a good way to confine form together.
A bike and rider that seem altogether connected catch the eye. It is almost as if they are part of the same man. Since numerous bikers feel like their motorcycle is a part of themselves, this is not a bad epitome to create.
Bikers willing to go to extremes for peculiar style places often do more than deck out their motorcycle helmets.
They order custom motorcycle percentages including handlebars, gas containers, rotates, and supplementaries.
Customizing portions can be as simple as covering patterns on the metal form and as complex as causing one-of-a-kind handlebars or footrests.
Some of "the worlds largest" customized bikes participate in neighbourhood, regional and national rivalries for wording and creativity.
No matter how much period and natural resources you have to put into your motorcycle, you can provide a review that is unique to you.
You do not have to add custom welds to your motorcycle. Start with a different motorcycle helmet and wreak from there to establish your biker vogue over time.
Park your rig in a flat, shaded place and allow to cool. While your truck sits chilling, crack open a sudsy beverage and open the other ingredients.
Each component includes a complete teaching sheet--familiarize yourself with these while sipping the icy liquor.
The most labor-intensive part of this recipe is the exhaust gear. Formerly your rig is refrigerate, remove the factory exhaust and down hose.

SNHS Spotlight: Microcarriers in Regenerative Medicine
By accentsiha on January 15, 2021
Although IHA's cherished locker-break cookies are earning status as mythological lore with the cafeteria having been closed for so long, humor the scenario that a student consumes one. On a microbiological level, the harvesting of ATP through cellular respiration is constantly occurring as the components of the cookie are broken down, fueling homeostasis, neurological function, and a host of metabolic processes. But in addition to these tasks, collected energy can also be used to sustain cell division. In fact, bionumbers from Harvard University reveal that the human person replaces billions of damaged or dead cells on a daily basis, with most average adults undergoing approximately 1016 cell divisions in their lifetime. The frequency of cell reproduction is easily recognized in the growth of hair and fingernails, in the replenishment of skin and blood cells. Yet, all cells cannot reproduce, and the speed at which cells copy themselves depends on their type.
Stem cells have the ability to mature into many different cell types. Beginning in an immature state, many of these cells become specialized to a specific function. After development is complete, they may be categorized as skeletal muscle cells, red blood cells, or nerve cells, among others, suited explicitly to a particular function. Fully mature stem cells, known as somatic or adult stem cells, are often incapable of division. So if a young student-athlete experiences severe nerve damage due to a sports injury, or if a middle-aged family member loses cardiac muscle after a heart attack, this inability to heal by regenerating cells has serious consequences.
Regenerative medicine is working to combat this issue, reducing the threats to life through inherited conditions or external modes of injury. Growing cells in cell culture to form the tissues of artificial organs, bones, or other biological structures, can replace lost body components and counter existing disrepair. Invitrogen's handbook Cell Culture Basics explains the specific conditions must be met for cells to grow in cell culture environments. In a phenomenon called adherent culture, cells grow in a single layer on an artificial substrate, conforming to the principle of density dependence. In another artificial growth mechanism called suspension culture, cells float freely in the culture medium. Furthermore, anchorage-dependent cells must typically be grown on a tissue-culture treated medium, in which a substrate is modified to be more hydrophilic and enable cell adhesion.
Scanning Electron Microscope image of an empty Cytopore macroporous microcarrier (GE 20)
General Electric's department of Healthcare and Life Sciences's handbook Microcarrier Cell Culture: Principles and Methods details important milestones in the development of microcarriers, which are small biomaterial spheres. In 1967, A. L. Wezel tested the usage of microcarriers as a basis for the growth of anchorage-dependent animal cells in suspension culture. Porous ion exchange medium DEAE SephadexTM A-50, which has a large surface area to volume ratio, provided viable material density as well as ease of observation for Wezel's initial experiments. Early work showed that these microcarriers could possibly produce human fibroblasts or viruses on a large scale. Eventually, other microcarriers called Cytodex 1 and Cytodex 3 were developed, which utilized denatured collagen to promote adhesion by imitating the surface to which cells attach themselves in vivo (within living organisms). Following this advance, macroporous gelatin microcarriers were developed to increase cell density and protect the cell grown in the microcarrier environment. After this was the formation of new microcarriers for cells grown in fluidized bed cultures (a type of bioreactor-cell manufacturing) that immobilized cells in high density systems for study, along with a host of other developments in microcarrier technology such as Cytopore and Cytoline.
Microcarrier-based systems have many advantages. These inexpensive surfaces are scalable, host anchorage-dependent cells, facilitate nutrient supply to growing cells, increase yield of products, and occupy minimal space. Microcarrier cell cultures also have an extensive list of applications aside from aiding in the reconstruction of biological tissues, including the creation of vaccines and monoclonal antibodies, the production of viruses and natural proteins, and the study of cell differentiation techniques.
SMART's gelatin microcarrier shown dissolving over time in an enzymatic treatment (MIT).
As a new technology, microcarrier advances are abundant. The Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART) has developed a new type of gelatin microcarrier that offers a higher yield of cell product and greater scalability in contrast to the extant microcarriers that are popularly used in biotechnology. In particular, SMART's development will enable a larger-scale production of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), which are isolated from bone marrow and adipose tissue among other sources and retain some cell differentiation capability in vitro (in an artificial environment). MSCs retrieved from mature tissues can be used to treat defects in connective tissues such as bone or cartilage, and the cells can also overcome the body's rejection of foreign bone-marrow grafts in host cells. The gelatin biomaterial boasts a 90% harvest rate as opposed to the usual 50-60% rate, and the microcarrier's solubility simplifies the recovery process of manufactured cells. The MSCs cultured by the gelatin-based support matrix also displayed greater balance of multipotency in terms of trilineage, meaning the cells could more successfully differentiate into red blood cells, white blood cells, or platelets.
Although the aforementioned study focused explicitly on MSCs, the new findings could potentially be applied to the culture of other anchorage-dependent cells. Though it will take extensive breakthroughs in biomedicine and regenerative technology for physical injuries to be a problem of the past, emerging microcarriers hold promise in both the access to and the development of recovery methods. What's more, large-scale lab-manufactured cell replacement means that injury recovery of any magnitude may not require that IHA cookie after all… though, perhaps you should unleash your inner scientist and obtain that evidence through personal experience.
(Enjoy the cookie).

But I'm getting
The pipe is being closed Exception everytime I receive a message from client
Why?
My client:

    try

                pipeStream.Flush();
                pipeStream.WaitForPipeDrain();
        }
        catch (TimeoutException)
        {
        Console.WriteLine("Timeout error!");
        }
    catch (Exception e)
        {

A: It appears that you need a separate NamedPipeServerStream for each client. (Note that I was not the one to discover this, see the other answers.) I'd imagine the working server-side would look something like this (draft code):
while(this.isServerRunning)
{
     var pipeClientConnection = new NamedPipeServerStream(...);

     try
     {
         pipeClientConnection.WaitForConnection();
     }
     catch(...)
     {
         ...
         continue;
     }

     ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem(state =>
          {
               // we need a separate variable here, so as not to make the lambda capture the pipeClientConnection variable, which is not recommended in multi-threaded scenarios
               using(var pipeClientConn = (NamedPipeServerStream)state)
               {
                    // do stuff
                    ...
               }
          }, pipeClientConnection);
}

As a side note, as it was pointed out in a comment to your question, you're wasting memory with initiating a new async call every 3 seconds by calling BeginWaitForConnection in a loop (the only case where this wouldn't waste memory is when new connections are made in intervals smaller than 3 seconds, but I doubt that you can know this for sure). You see, basically every 3 seconds you're initiating a new async call, regardless of whether the last one is still pending or has completed. Furthermore, it - once again - does not take into account that you need a separate NamedPipeServerStream for each client.
To fix this issue, you need to eliminate the loop, and "chain" the BeginWaitForConnection calls using the callback method. This is a similar pattern you'll see quite often in async I/O when using .NET. Draft code:
private void StartListeningPipes()
{
    if(!this.isServerRunning)
    {
        return;
    }

    var pipeClientConnection = new NamedPipeServerStream(...);

    try
    {
        pipeClientConnection.BeginWaitForConnection(asyncResult =>
            {
                // note that the body of the lambda is not part of the outer try... catch block!
                using(var conn = (NamedPipeServerStream)asyncResult.AsyncState)
                {
                    try
                    {
                        conn.EndWaitForConnection(asyncResult);
                    }
                    catch(...)
                    {
                        ...
                    }

                    // we have a connection established, time to wait for new ones while this thread does its business with the client
                    // this may look like a recursive call, but it is not: remember, we're in a lambda expression
                    // if this bothers you, just export the lambda into a named private method, like you did in your question
                    StartListeningPipes();

                    // do business with the client
                    conn.WaitForPipeDrain();
                    ...
                }
            }, pipeClientConnection);
    }
    catch(...)
    {
        ...
    }
}

The control flow will be something like this:

*

*[main thread] StartListeningPipes(): created NamedPipeServerStream, initiated BeginWaitForConnection()

*[threadpool thread 1] client #1 connecting, BeginWaitForConnection() callback: EndWaitForConnection() then StartListeningPipes()

*[threadpool thread 1] StartListeningPipes(): created new NamedPipeServerStream, BeginWaitForConnection() call

*[threadpool thread 1] back to the BeginWaitForConnection() callback: getting down to business with the connected client (#1)

*[threadpool thread 2] client #2 connecting, BeginWaitForConnection() callback: ...

*...

I think that this is a lot more difficult than using blocking I/O - in fact, I'm not quite certain I got it right, please point it out if you see any mistakes - and it's also a lot more confusing.
To pause the server in either examples, you obviously would set the this.isServerRunning flag to false.

A: Ok. Stupied me.
There should be one NamedPipeServerStream for each client. So if Async operation was completed, then have to recreate NamedPipeServerStream.
Thanks this Multithreaded NamePipeServer in C#
Should be:
while(isPipeWorking)
            {
                IAsyncResult asyncResult = namedPipeServerStream.BeginWaitForConnection(this.WaitForConnectionAsyncCallback, null);
                Thread.Sleep(3*1000);
                if (asyncResult.IsCompleted)
                {
                    RestartPipeServer();
                    break;
                }
            }

Wren's father liked blues music, songs about trains. Often he played them for Wren while she ate her breakfast or did her homework, sometimes when she didn't want to hear a song. He was like that, singing to you, urging his gift on you so you couldn't refuse it. This was one of the things Wren's mother couldn't stand. She liked to say no. There was a song he liked to sing, about someone catching a train to Vicksburg. Where was Vicksburg?. Wren didn't know. It was somewhere away at the end of that May-green tunnel of leaves the trains ran through. Going to Vicksburg, the song said. Going to Vicksburg in the cool of the evening. Her father liked to whisper that phrase, under the voice of the guitar that went on and on like a train's wheels, carrying him someplace in his mind, until her mother told him to knock it off.
Wren had looked about her at boxes, empty bookshelves, the cabinet that had housed her father's stereo, a glowing entity of knobs and dials, bearing the mystical name MARANTZ. The piano was gone. Her rmother had said that it was cheaper to buy another one than to move the one she had.
"Why can't I figure everything out, too?" Wren said.
She had seemed animated just then, alight with something that might have been anger or might have been joy. She was ferocious, Wren had thought. That was it. She had been dumping books into boxes as if she meant the books harm. She shook back her long hair, so straight it sliced the air as it swung.
"What on earth do you need at the Tee, Gee, And Why, Virginia?" That was her grandfather's way of talking, to turn single letters into whole words.
"I'm not buying a monkey," said her grandfather.
"Maybe they'll have a little stuffed-animal monkey," said her grandmother, but Wren didn't want a monkey. Instead, in the makeup aisle, she fingered the eyeshadow crayons with longing. Blue, her mother wore, and some of her older cousins. She wondered what it would feel like to draw that blue on her own skin.
"Darling, that's not for little girls," her grandmother called. "Looky, I found this thing." Peeping around the end of the aisle, she held up a troll doll with a hard plastic dent for a navel, a gush of green hair. "Don't you think he's right cute? Or ugly, I'm not sure which," she added, holding him at arm's length and squinting through her cat-eye glasses.
"Come on, Virginia." Wren's grandfather stood at the checkout counter consulting his pocket watch: gold, with a thin lid that sprang open at some secret touch of his thumbnail.
There was nothing Wren wanted in all the TG&Y. The monkey was sold, or dead. She accepted the troll doll, watched it be paid for, and carried it dutifully out to the parking lot in the palm of her hand.
They drove south, out Getwell road, going away from town toward Mississippi. Gradually the neighborhoods gave way to fields, here and there a little house held up, it looked like, by the tar paper tacked to its outside. If she lay back and shut her eyes, Wren could feel when they turned into their own road: an easing down, a sigh beneath the wheels, trees passing over. As the tires ground on gravel, she heard Sad Sack, the old dog, baying close to the house. She opened her eyes and saw the pond, scummy in the early heat, where she couldn't play because of snakes. She saw where the drive forked toward the barn lot. One last mule still stood in the fringed shade of a mimosa. Who fed the mule? She didn't know. It just stood there, always. In the loop the driveway made in front of the house, a black Chevrolet like an overgrown beetle sat parked, as it had been Wren's whole life. Now, wagging and whining, Sad Sack emerged from his dusty spot beneath the forsythia. Climbing from the car, Wren patted his bony head. He rolled his bloodshot eyes at her, and his houndy smell stayed on her hand.
"Where are the baby wrens?" she asked her grandmother. Every year a pair of wrens nested in the grille of the black Chevrolet. Wren believed that this was why nobody drove it. On her last visit, three weeks earlier, her grandmother had taken her out on tiptoe to see the pocket of sticks, grass, and moss, the tiny heads peeping out.
Wren's grandfather had carried her blue suitcase into the back room. She heard the toilet flush, water running. After a moment he re-emerged into the den, an unlit cigar in his hand. Across the dim room the two of them regarded each other. Soon Wren would be as tall as her grandfather; he was a short man. He parted his thick white hair neatly in the middle and flattened it down with hair tonic. When he combed it, the comb's marks stayed there, like plowed furrows. He wore his baggy trousers high on his torso, his crisp plaid shirt tucked firmly in.
"Well, now," he said to her.
She smiled at him a little uncertainly. What exactly the right answer to Well, now, might be, she had never discerned.
"I'll go see what she's doing," said Wren. Her mother had told her to be helpful. Anyway, helpfulness eased her out of conversation with her grandfather. She went through the spidery unlit pantry, stacked with newspapers and Jim Beam boxes, and into the kitchen where her grandmother stood before the refrigerator, holding open its door as if it were her dance partner.
"I know," said Wren. "One time I picked up a sparkler on the wrong end. It was all finished, but I guess I wanted to hold it again. I was six," she added contemptuously.
With her glass of Coke crisping and popping in its ice, Wren followed her grandmother back to the den. She watched how her grandmother walked, stiff-legged and hustling, though she moved slowly, carrying the drink. Her grandmother's knees did not bend much. Everything about her was straight up-and-down, all but the two little points above the high-waisted belt of her flowered dress. Though she was no taller than Wren's grandfather, her body didn't sink into itself the way his did, head and shoulders riding a cushion of stomach, but instead rose from her waist like a plant trying to unfurl a new shoot. If Wren were to turn on the pantry light, she would see her grandmother's scalp glow pink through her frosting of white hair.
"Do you want to go upstairs and play?" Wren's grandmother asked now.
Wren shook her head: not this time. Not alone.
"No ma'am," Wren whispered. Tears pricked her eyes. To hide them she lay on her stomach on the oval rag rug, so walked-on nobody could tell that it hadn't always been dust-colored. Dust was what it smelled like, too, when she bent her face to it.
To show that she could mind as well as anybody, Wren leaped up from the floor, upsetting her drink.
"Wren Marie can get a rag." Her grandfather returned to his paper. Wren, minding or helpful, or maybe both at once, went into the kitchen and ran water on a sponge.
At five o'clock the news came on. After the old Latin grace they sat down at a card table in the den to eat and watch. Supper was cube steak with gravy, tater tots, macaroni and cheese, green jello salad with cottage cheese and crushed pineapple mixed in. Wren's grandparents drank iced coffee with their meal, and Wren drank more Coca-Cola. The news bored her; it was full of something the President had done. With a sigh she went on eating tater tots and watching a reporter in a trench coat stand in front of of the White House.
After supper, to show how helpful she was, Wren carried their plates to the kitchen. She stood beside her grandmother at the long white porcelain sink, drying as the clean wet dishes were handed her.
"You should get a dishwasher," she told her grandmother.
"I have one." Her grandmother poked her.
In this way too her grandparents were unlike other people. They disliked things they didn't already know about. Her grandmother could work any crossword puzzle, could write a poem that rhymed, could correct your grammar and say, "Quelle heure est-il?" in French. But she could not, for example, run a washing machine. She had tried once. "Granddaddy and I went to one of those washeterias," she habitually told the grandchildren as a funny story. "In we went with all our dirty clothes, our towels and things, and there was this wall of machines all going around and around, and not a soul to help you figure it out." The punchline of the story was that they had turned around and walked back out again, and now sent everything, even their underwear, to the dry cleaner's. Of course she never said the word underwear. It was Wren's mother who said that, with a shake of her head.
"How did the clothes get clean before?" Wren always wanted to know, but nobody had ever been able to tell her.
So there was no washing machine at her grandparents', and no dishwasher either, that didn't have two hands and a mind of its own. They continued to drive their old car with its heavy manual steering and the gear shift on the column, instead of something new. "Hatchback, or some such nonsense," her grandfather said darkly. They did not go to Macdonalds, where you had to approach a counter and order from a wall-mounted menu. They avoided many complications by staying home.
Also, in the evenings, they insisted on saying the rosary, all five decades, out loud, beneath the picture of the Blessed Mother that Mimi had painted long ago, when she was a girl in Mobile, at school with the nuns. This image of a romantic young lady in blue, one pale hand patting her pinkly Immaculate Heart, had hung above the den fireplace as long as anyone now living could remember. The aunts and uncles groaned when they forgot and overstayed their visits and were stuck at rosary time. The cousins, those that could, escaped upstairs. Sometimes Wren went with them, joining their silent creep away from the edges of the room and out into the safety of the pantry or the entrance hall. The punch bowl or the clock might protest, but you could tiptoe, holding in your laughter, up the stairs and past the linen closet, to make a show of knocking on the haunted room's door with the brass knocker like a woman's hand. Of course you had to knock quietly, to be admitted with gusts of suppressed hilarity by whichever cousins had gotten there first.
When the cousins were there, Wren, the youngest, was borne along on their currents. But when she was alone with her grandparents, she liked to sit in the den, all dark except for the candle on the mantel, mysterious. She liked to hold a rosary from the tangled collection her grandmother kept in a bowl beneath the Mary picture, and to say the prayers as they ticked over, miles on an odometer. Though she knew the prayers by heart, they always felt novel, like visiting itself. At home they never prayed, not out loud for other people to hear.
But it wasn't time for the rosary yet. The light still hung in the sky. Just now she was finishing the dishes and hearing her grandmother call her to come outside. A mockingbird sang in the rambling rose. She went out the kitchen door, patting Sad Sack who rose from the porch, whining and wagging as always, and into the back yard. She took her grandmother's hand to hear the bird, but after a moment she pulled free. She ran away across the grass, damp to her bare feet.
But Wren didn't listen. She ran past the clothesline and the smokehouse to the gate. Beyond the gate were the woods, full now of crickets tuning up, birds tuning down. They were full too of snakes and poison ivy. She could not go into them. But she could hang on the gate and look into the trees where the first darkness was gathering.
Her grandfather stood on the back porch, smoking his cigar and patting Sad Sack. In the twilight, with the house light behind him and his head wreathed in smoke, he looked a figure of mystery, a short fat fairy king. Doubling back, Wren cannoned into her grandmother, who said, "Oof," and put her arms around her.
Before prayers Wren played alone in the back bedroom. She hated to admit that she still played with toys, but these toys, in their baskets that lived on the deep windowsills, were her oldest friends. They had belonged to her aunts, her father, all the cousins before her. For now nobody else wanted them, and they were hers. She played with the little hard-rubber farm animals, pigs, sheep, and chickens. All their feet ended in pedestals as if they were toy statues, not toy versions of actual animals. The chickens were as tall as the sheep.
When she tired of the animals, she played paper dolls. Betsy McCall and her friends, plus various mismatched others, made a kind of family. It was mostly a girl and lady family, but there was a father, a heavy, glossy cardboard gentleman with pomaded hair, a tight-fitting white undershirt, and polka-dotted boxers. Different ladies took turns being the mother and dressing the little girls.
On quiet bare feet she came through her grandparents' pass-through room with the spindle bed, through another little hall where a broken radio in a mahogany case had stood in silence all her life, and into the den. They had turned off the lamps. Her grandmother was lighting the candle in its etched-glass globe on the mantel. Wren slipped onto the footstool by the fireless hearth, and her grandmother put a plastic rosary into her hand. In the dark the beads glowed green-white, a foxfire light she shaded by curling her palm around it.
Wren sat, hardly listening. Special intention meant a prayer you didn't want to name aloud. She thought of all the things she too didn't want to name aloud, or couldn't. There was her mother, alone in the house where they all three had lived, slamming things into boxes with that fierce set to her mouth as if she wanted their life to be broken. There was her father, who yesterday morning had hugged her hard and long before she left for school, and had not been home for supper. There was the corner of the living room where his guitar had stood. There was that feeling she had, of a railroad track vanishing into its tunnel of leaves, taking its secrets with it. She imagined the train on its unseen way, going to Vicksburg, with green all around it and shadows breathing out softness.
Glancing up out of her thoughts, she saw that her grandmother was crying. In the shivering candlelight the tears made shiny tracks down her powdered cheeks and dropped onto her hands, lumpy with blue veins, and onto the tarnished silver rosary that had been her wedding present.
Her grandfather saw, too. "Oh, God, Virginia," he said.
Her grandmother did not answer, "Give us this day our daily bread." Wren said it for her. She heard her own voice as something separate from herself, hard and dry as her mother's face, saying the words about trespass, forgiveness, temptation, evil.
"I'm nine," Wren wanted to say. "Nobody puts me to bed any more." But she let her grandmother, more silent than usual, take her hand and lead her to the back bedroom.
"You never can tell," said her grandmother, opening the closet door where everyone's height was recorded: Wren's father's, the aunts', all the cousins, written on the edge of the door, on its inside, in black pencil. By now the door was a confusion of names, dates, and numbers, but if she looked carefully, Wren could find herself, her own name ascending among the others as she grew.
"Jump up and stand against the door, now," her grandmother said. Wren stood straight while the mark was made by her head. She stepped aside, and her grandmother unrolled the measuring tape. "Four feet, ten and a half inches," she proclaimed. "You were only four feet ten and a quarter last time." She wrote Wren's name, the date, and the new height on the door.
"You are growing, just fine. A tall girl." She hugged Wren tight and saw her into bed. Then she went out, leaving the door open. In another moment the television boomed from the den. Wren wriggled a little between the sheets. Then, remembering, she reached up for her troll doll, which she had stood on the windowsill beside the plastic farm animals. She didn't like him all that much, he hadn't been really what she wanted, but now that the lights were out she feared that in his plastic nakedness he might be cold. She settled him beneath her pillow and was instantly asleep.
It was a thin sleep, filled with shards of dream. In one fragment she came to her own house, to find it empty and dark, all its belongings taken away. They had forgotten her in the haste of their moving. Moonlight shone through the naked windows. From room to empty room she went, calling out some name. She kept seeing a closed door, light showing beneath it. Was someone at home after all? Someone she knew, or a stranger? Try as she might, she could never reach that room. There was always another dark room, a hallway, something she had to go through to get to it. Somehow she never got through. No matter what she did, the lighted room retreated, always a little farther away.
She dreamed, too, other smaller things. She dreamed morning sun on the kitchen floor, her father singing "Hello Dolly," accompanying himself on a ukulele. Her mother at the piano, gathering music like water in her hands. Evening on the backyard grass, fireflies hanging in the shadow of the apple tree. Herself in bed, her own bed. Voices in the hall outside.
She strained so hard to hear those voices that she woke up. For a moment she wondered where she was. Then, smelling the country night and the musty old house, she knew. Everything had fallen silent. Only the spring frogs, outside, unseen, spoke a language she didn't know. Somewhere in the woods an owl called, rasping and querulous. Another owl answered it. The hall light was gone from the floor. In their own room, door ajar, her grandparents snored decorously in their spindle bed. Darkness lay like a weight on her heart.
Then, from far away, she heard the rain begin. It came like a slow train, bumping, starting, its wheels whispering on a weedy track, its wind blowing the tall grasses.
"Going to Vicksburg," she whispered to herself.
The rushing, rustling, bumping noise came nearer. Suddenly it was all around her. From inside it she could hear all its drippings, spatterings, clicks, murmurs, a thousand feet pattering past, a thousand voices. Each voice cried out in a different tongue. Each said one word: Peace. A green coolness sighed at the open window. In bed, Wren sighed, too. The world was turning, taking her with it. Outside it was raining, raining, raining. Soon the night would be washed away. She pulled the covers to her chin and slept again without dreams.
