ISPN Foundation
International Society of Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurses Foundation
A legacy for future advanced practice psychiatric-mental health nursing
The Purpose of the Foundation
To establish a trust, the income of which is used to support and encourage the activities and purposes of the ISPN for charitable, literary, clinical, research, and educational endeavors.
To receive and maintain funds and, as appropriate, expend the income in support of and in furtherance of the purposes of ISPN

Foster and enhance research and scholarship
Promote relevant educational preparation for the practice of psychiatric mental health nursing
Develop partnerships that strengthen the delivery of mental health care around the globe
Support student and international members' attendance at annual conferences
The Foundation members are the collective ISPN Nurses. Board of Director members manage the business affairs and fulfill the purpose and goals of the Foundation. Each member of the Board is a current member of ISPN in good standing. The Board of Directors is composed of no less than three or no more than seven members, elected by the ISPN Foundation Board. The ISPN treasurer is an ex-officio member of the Foundation Board but without voting rights. Currently there is a Board of Director President, a Treasurer, a Recording Secretary, and four additional members. Members of the Board are appointed to serve for a three year term and may be reappointed for a second three year term. Board meetings are held on a regular basis throughout the year usually via teleconference calls. A face-to-face meeting of Board of Director members is conducted during the annual conference where ISPN members are invited to attend. (as presented in the ISPN Foundation Bylaws)
ISPN was launched in 1998. When it became an organization by combining three organizations (ACAPN, ISPCLN & SERPN) one organization already had a foundation. The Board of Directors for ISPN determined that ISPN needed its own foundation, providing a place for the foundation already in existence--The Robert O. Gilbert Foundation of ACAPN.
In 2001, ISPN President, Dr. Linda Finke charged ACAPN Division Director, Dr. Beth Bonham, and SERPN Division Director, Dr. Lorna Mill Barrell, with developing bylaws for the Foundation.
When this task was completed, the ISPN Foundation was established in 2002 as a trust to support the mission of ISPN. Dr. Finke and the ISPN Board appointed the first Board of Director members for the Foundation: Dr. Jeanne Clement (SERPN), Dr. Judith Coucouvanis (ACAPN), Ann Robinette, CNS, RN-BC (ISPCLN), and Dr. Elizabeth Bonham, PhD, APRN-BC (ISPN founding member).

Q: What are the differences between the various character types? With the exception of the Mii, each of the characters fall into one of the following types:

*

*All-Around

*Technique

*Speed

*Tricky

*Power

*Defense

I'm sure each of these are meant to convey useful information about the stats of each character, however I have no idea what each of them means, and the manual doesn't appear to contain any information on this.
What do the various character types mean?

A: All-Around is, well, all-around. The character doesn't stand out in any of its areas but it isn't bad in any of its areas.
Technique characters specialize in ball control.
Speed characters are faster than others but have weaker shots.
Tricky characters have shots that curve the ball when they hit, especially Slice shots.
Power characters are slower than others but have stronger shots.
Defense characters can hit the ball well from most positions.

My "to-read" pile seems to grow without bounds. Within the last year, I've added 9 new shelves of space, and both bookcases already are full, with several volumes piled on top of each. Any New Year's Resolution of "I'm not buying any more books until I read the ones I've got" is completely useless; I just can't help passing up a good recommendation or snapping up a nice price on a used book online.
One of the books I've had for some time is Robert Greenleaf's Servant Leadership. Although I've written previously about his general ideas, I have yet to make the effort to really digest this important work.
While blog posts are valuable for presenting ideas and helping to create perspective, ultimately one's journey of excellent followership and personal growth is best served by having concrete opportunities for growing in self-awareness and then making an effort to "self-revelate"—to share with others (your peers & superiors) who you are, what you value, what you have to offer.
Many of us regularly describe the work of personal development and growth as a "journey." One thing that's true of any trip is that it begins somewhere. For a GPS app to be able to plot your route to your destination, it has to be able to determine your current location.
Similarly, as we engage in the work of change and transformation, knowing where we are currently is essential for identifying where we'd like to go, the best course of action to take, the appropriate vehicles to use, as well as some of the challenges that might harass us while we're trying to get there.
New Free Resource: What would you do if someone gave you…?
I'm not a dreamer. I'm not a visionary. Possibilities elude me. Passions are often fairly subdued. And yet, all of these things are vital for me to be the best contributor I can be.
There are a variety of jobs in the world. Some are by nature less intense than others. I've had several friends that have worked as late-night security guards at various buildings or housing developments. Although their presence was important, they often related to me that the job itself was not particularly intense: they regularly spent time reading books, studying for exams, or otherwise filling their attention while on the clock.
My employment experience in the non-profit world has been somewhat different. Not only is presence important, but the intensity is fairly high. I am rarely in a position of struggling to figure out how to fill my time simply to put in the required hours. More often, we face decisions about what to say no to, what to let go of, because there isn't enough time or energy to do everything that we could possibly invest ourselves in. There's no end to the relationships, the preparation, the communication, the meetings that we could involve ourselves with.
As an author, perhaps it's appropriate that I like written communication. Texting, more so than phone calls, is comfortable to me. And although my work necessitates me spending several hours a week on the phone or Skype, it's still email that carries the bulk of my interaction with others.
Leader: the ideal human being?
During a recent conference workshop, I asked the attendees to make a list of the qualities, characteristics, and responsibilities of a leader/leadership.

In this new age of political uncertainty and social unrest, leaders of color will be key to navigating philanthropy's future. The Schott Foundation for Public Education was proud to present a two-part webinar series highlighting 21st Century Inclusive Leadership in Philanthropy.
A central component of inclusive leadership is understanding the leadership qualities and attributes of everyone in one's team. "Leadership also requires followership," Antoinette Malveaux said. "I come to the work with an understanding and appreciation that everybody is a leader irrespective of the title they carry... they have something to offer."
An inclusive leader is also a responsive leader. "Being able to listen, to learn, to act and take feedback really requires dying to ego," Sherece West-Scantlebury said. "I've met folk who think they're inclusive, and then you get in a room with them and they do all the talking."
Kirsten Levingston pointed out how it can be tough for those new to the field if their supervisors are not inclusive leaders, and how in those cases the best source for guidance, motivation and help can sometimes come from outside their organization. From individual mentors to affinity groups and associations like EPIP, there are resources out there if people look for them.
Our participants discussed how inclusive leadership drives innovation, performance and productivity. They highlighted the tangible benefits they've gained as the direct report of inclusive leaders and discussed their own growth as inclusive leaders in their own right.
The conversation began with a recognition of the origins of philanthropy and how those origins shaped the structure of the sector itself to be hierarchical, slow-moving, and rigid. As participants discussed prospects for reshaping philanthropy, Sana Jafri mentioned the importance of alternative leadership models: "in my own organization one thing that helped us as a team in helping us drive our work is to have more distributed leadership." Trista Harris emphasized the importance of leading "where you are," not waiting for a formal leadership role, but taking leadership opportunities regardless of one's position in the organization.
The danger of disconnect between philanthropy and the daily work of grantees and social movements was a point emphasized by all the panelists. As Will Cordery recounted, "I knew I had a large responsibility to be of service to, rather than divorced from community." Commitment to a cause greater than oneself is at the heart of inclusive leadership. "It's not really about me. It's about community. For me it's about putting the work before me," Sana Jafri said.

Is Kovalchuk Worth A 'Max' Contract?
from Craig Custance of The Sporting News,
...The Thrashers have to decide if he's worth it. As elite of a goal-scorer as Kovalchuk is, he has flaws. For a max contract, you'd prefer flawless.
The Thrashers are open to the idea of a deal that could run as long as 12 years, but the question they have to answer is this: Will a 39-year-old Kovalchuk be worth $10 million? Or $9 million? Because the 26-year-old Kovalchuk has no interest in signing one of those Chris Pronger or Marian Hossa long-term deals where the final years are worthless.
"That's probably the hardest thing," Waddell said. "If we had that answered, we'd have a deal done. We look at other players—what's the age where you see a dropoff? If we had the exact answer, it'd be easier."
This deal is complicated, partly because it's hard to find a comparable player. Vincent Lecavalier's 11-year deal worth $85 million could be comparable, but he was 28 when he signed his contract extension, two years older than Kovalchuk. He also had a Stanley Cup.

Robert Anderson Mowat, was a British judge and diplomat, serving in China and Japan.  His last position before retirement was as Judge of the British Court for Japan.

Early life
Mowat was born in 1843 in Edinburgh, Scotland, the only son of Joseph Mowat. He was educated in Edinburgh before attending London University, which nominated him for the Foreign Office exam.

Career
Mowat joined the British China Consular Service in 1864 as a student interpreter.  In 1866, he was appointed Acting Law Secretary of the British Supreme Court for China and Japan in Shanghai.  He was appointed to the substantive position in 1868.  In 1869 Mowat went on long leave to study for the bar and was admitted to the bar of the Inner Temple in 1871. In 1876, he was appointed "Deputy Chief Judge", while the Acting Judge of the court, Charles Wycliffe Goodwin was in Yokohama.  Due to Goodwin's ill-health and death, he held the position for most of the time until 1878 when a new Chief Judge, George French, arrived in Shanghai.  In 1878, he was appointed Assistant Judge and Registrar of the Court.

In 1891, Mowat was appointed Judge of the British Court for Japan based in Yokohama. Before leaving for Japan, he acted as both British Chief Justice and Consul-General in Shanghai for over half a year until the new Chief Justice and Consul General, Nicholas John Hannen could take up the posts.

In his position as Judge for Japan, Mowat tried (with a jury) Edith Carew for the murder of her husband in 1896 in Yokohama.  Soon after, he retired due to ill health and returned to England.

Death
Mowat died on 7 June 1925 in Hove.

Hello! Hope you are all enjoying this extra chilly weather? I love it and just want it to be even colder now so I can wrap up in gloves, scarves and lots of chunky knits. Anyway, this outfit is pretty odd for me, in that even a few months ago I was a staunch enemy of the roll-neck and was convinced that I would never be seen wearing one, and yet here I am. And I have to say, I wish I could wear one everyday! Additionally, maybe I've been watching just a few too many old-school Friends episodes lately, with Monica and Rachel being able to rock them with just about everything. Wearing them with my new Topshop trousers (which I can't get enough of!) I have to admit to feeling a bit more manly Beatnik-style than usual, especially paired with my new Chelsea boots that I spied on the beautiful Jazmine!
Now that i've got a lot more free time I'm really trying to get myself into blogging more, I really miss updating it a lot more frequently! Is there anything you would like to see more/less of on here? I realise that photo's of just me in my clothes can be a little boring, huh?! Although, I've got quite a few outings coming up that I can't wait to share with you all, think Christmas crafts and festivities!


Rubber Stamp Chat - Help! What have I done?
:blush: Boy do I need help and fast! I was on Ebay and bid on a lot of 345 unmounted rubber stamps and for some reason I won. Which is great but what do I do to organize all these stamps so I can use them? I don't have more than 1 or 2 unmounted stamps and I have no idea how to "house" them or where to get what I need! Any suggestions or advice would be gratefully received!
I did have to switch from the baseball card pages to video boxes recently - I had too many UMs in too many categories for the binder system. :shock: But with only 300+ you shouldn't have any problem.
I had already invested in several Iris drawer units & didn't have space for more shelves when I went um, so this method allows me to store my stamps in labeled zip bags in labeled drawers. Before I put new images away I stamp them into my index binder that is arranged in catagories that correspond to the drawers and each zip bag has all the images from the same page in the binder. When I want an image & can't remember which drawer & bag it's in, I can look it up. Granted, I have a rather large collect of both mounted & unmount images and my binder is now a 4" D ring that is overfull (I really need to make the investment in a 6" binder soon :)) ), but I started using this mounting system when my collection was much smaller & have no regrets.
An easy method for using Um's until you figure something more permanent out is to use washable glue stick. You don't need to cover the entire back of the stamp, just enough to keep it on the handle temporarily. When done just wash off in the sink but be sure to close the drain so you don't loose any :eek: . Also be sure that you use some sort of padding underneath for cushion or you might not get a good impression.


Alma is a lightworker with with 25 years of experience in energy medicine and shamanic practices.
I use a combination of hands off and light touch. My intent is to create a safe and sacred environment, honouring boundaries, free will, trust and also self responsibility.
Non-fictional, spiritual in nature and full of real life learning experiences and growth.
We are the caretakers of ourselves and the earth and need to honour the Winter Solstice that can take us to deeper, quieter places. It helps if we relate to the hibernation of plant roots and some animals as they become quiet and still over the winter to regenerate and prepare for the emergence of spring.
You cannot get the right answer if you fail to ask the right question. In the work I do there are many questions that come up that I leave open-ended for the client to answer at some point. I do that because only they know their own answers, their own truth. One of the hurdles people face in life is how to craft their own questions that will bring forward what their truth is.
These words have been part of my family for as long as I can remember. They are strong, meaningful and created a way of life for us. The poor me was always countered with 'you can do anything you want if you put your mind to it.' When my sister cooked and burnt her first dinner my Dad raved about how delicious it was. If we complained about doing the dishes my Dad danced the third person around the house then came and changed partners til we were all smiling and the work was done.
They are a full time job and often don't last without ongoing work and commitment. This is a huge topic because we have many different types of relationships throughout our lives. I will use spousal relationships as an example, but most issues will also relate to other types of relationships. As for experience, I am in my 3rd relationship and think I finally understand.
We all need a reboot from time to time and cleaning out closets physically or mentally is a symbolic way to reduce excess baggage and recreate our belief systems. Usually we have heard this saying associated with the shedding of clothes and items as we tire of them but it can also be about your inner self.
Boundaries can be physical barriers and rules but they can also be energetic and spiritual. Physical ones are usually visible but energetic ones are more subtle and you often don't notice them as easily. For example, you might sense a predatory presence at your back that causes you to be uncomfortable or feel totally drained by certain people and not understand why.
If asked on a job application about your level of spirituality, how would you define yourself? Would you use a religion as a label or would you note things like love, truth, or your connection to nature?
The labyrinth is a single, spiral path for people to walk in a meditative state as a spiritual journey, whereas a maze is a garden of high walls and dead ends that create confusion and chaos. People often confuse the two entities as being the same, but their meanings are significantly different.
Identity theft is not always financial, it can be the theft of pieces of your soul. From the time of conception we are embedded with the agendas, opinions and imprints of family and society. These are controlling factors that develop our personality. We try and find our way out of this web as we grow older but in a time of stress we can get sucked back into an imagined safety net of being controlled by others.
Alma was selected to publish monthly articles in Sibyl Magazine for the year of 2017 and 2018. As you browse through the pages of this woman-centric, spirituality and awareness magazine, prepare yourself to meet the feminine heart and soul of another woman.

Hugh Cross, the first appointed Ecumenical Moderator of Milton Keynes Christian Council, has died aged 87 following three years of progressive mixed dementia.
Hugh took up his pioneering role in Milton Keynes in 1990 during the final fitting out of the newly built Church of Christ the Cornerstone, which served as his office and a base from which he carried out his pastoral duties among the expanding community and local clergy. During his five-year tenure, which ended with his retirement in 1995, he shaped this post, steering a path between the differing understandings of what church leadership meant for each of the different Christian denominations, while faithfully representing their church leaders within the city and surrounding areas.
The son of missionary parents, Hugh was born in Northern Rhodesia (now Zambia) where his father, Arthur Cross, played a pioneering role in the field of Christian unity and industrial mission. Hugh came to the UK in 1951 and attended Bristol Baptist College, where he trained for the ministry. During his time there, he met and later married his wife Doreen, a trainee nurse.
His first ministry was in the Yorkshire mining town of Rotherham, followed seven years later by a move to Plymouth, where he became the minister of Morice Baptist Church.
In 1965, with four children under 10, Hugh and Doreen emigrated to the Copperbelt of Zambia, where Hugh had accepted a job with the United Society for Christian Literature. From his base in a bookshop in Kitwe, he and his Zambian colleague travelled around the country by van, navigating their way along pot-holed, dusty, unmetalled roads selling religious and educational books to schools and government offices. This break in his ministry was a chance to return to the country of his birth.
Hugh brought the family back to the UK in 1968 where, in 1969, he joined an embryonic Local Ecumenical Project at Grove Hill, a newly built housing estate on the edge of Hemel Hempstead. Sunday worship was held in a builders' hut, while the streets, houses and, eventually, an ecumenical church were built around it. It was a successful experiment which brought the different denominations of the Christian church under one roof. Hugh learnt much through this experience, and in 1979 took up a post with the British Council of Churches (latterly, Churches Together in England), becoming Ecumenical Officer for England, a consultative role supporting emerging ecumenical projects around the country. Hugh held this post for ten years before taking up his post in Milton Keynes.
Hugh and Doreen moved to Ottery St Mary in Devon following Hugh's retirement in 1995. In 1997, he was awarded an MBE for services to Ecumenism.
Doreen died in 2010. Hugh is survived by his four children Janet, Graham, Allan and Kathleen, and five grandchildren.
A thanksgiving service will be held at 3.30pm on Saturday 21 April at St Mary's Church, Ottery St Mary, Devon.

Myanmar's parliament may have no Muslims, interviews with parties suggest
By Aung Naing Soe
Coconuts Yangon
Religious diversity may be the real loser of Myanmar's historic election yesterday.
No Muslim candidates won, according to interviews with parties involved in the races (the results are not official).
In the face of pressure from hardline Buddhist groups, the Union Election Commission approved only about 20 Muslim candidates in an election with more than 6,000 people running. Myanmar's Muslim population is estimated to be about 5 percent, but possible higher.
The party with the biggest presence in this small category was the United National Congress, or UNC, which traces its legacy to U Razak, the Muslim politician murdered alongside Aung San in 1947.
The UNC fielded about half of the total, and one of its members was the sole Muslim candidate in Mandalay.
Thazin Hlaing, a UNC campaign organizer and spokesperson, said: "We ran in 10 constituencies, all were lost."
Another largely Muslim group, the Democracy Party of Human Rights.
There were 3 other candidates representing the Democracy and Human Rights Party also failed to win the three contested seats in Yangon and Rakhine state, said Kyaw Soe Aung, the personal assistant to one of the DHRP candidates.
"We lost," he said."we were lost, we could not win."
Other Muslim candidates in Yangon's Pabedan Township also went down in the election, according to Kyaw Soe Aung. The candidates could not be reached to confirm his report.
Hundreds of thousands of Rohingya Muslims were not allowed to vote in the election because their identity documents were taken away, and dozens of Muslim candidates' applications to run were rejected.
But interviews with many Muslim voters in Yangon indicate that the powerhouse appeal of the NLD (which didn't field any candidates from their faith) was too strong to vote along religious lines.

St Stephen's Church > About Us > Our History
Although our present modern multi purpose building was consecrated in 1996, St Stephen's has been a presence in Broadgate since 1869 when the Bairstow Hall (now demolished to make way for the present building) was built. In 1888 the Victorian church building (also now demolished) was constructed.
The present Parish Centre is built on the firm foundations of the original Victorian building. Over the years St Stephen's has changed in many ways and we are a modern, informal church family that seeks to serve the local community.

Folliculitis is an infection, so topical or oral antibiotics are often how to treat a cyst of this type. Applying warm, damp compresses can help drain the infection from the affected follicle.... If your GP thinks your sinusitis is caused by a bacterial infection, or you develop a secondary bacterial infection due to your inflamed sinuses, they may prescribe antibiotics. However, research shows that 80 percent of people with acute sinusitis get better within two weeks without antibiotics.
If the infected area was painful, tender, or hot when you started your antibiotic treatment, after two or three days of treatment, you should have less discomfort. Much of the soreness should have gone away, and the appearance of the infected area should have improved. The red area should be getting smaller and the skin should not feel hard to the touch.... If these are possible causes of your condition — for example, because you traveled to another continent and might have been bitten by an infected insect — your doctor will work with you to specifically treat symptoms and stabilize you before problems can worsen.
Symptoms of Having Pulled Shoulder Muscles. If in case you are still suspecting if you have pulled your shoulder muscles, there are some symptoms that you have to …... The shoulder is a complex part of the body made of multiple tendons, ligaments, muscles, and a ball socket bone construction. Pain around the shoulder blade and shoulder injuries can be very uncomfortable and are easily aggravated by movement.
An infected, inflamed incision site can be warm -- or even hot -- to the touch. This is best checked using the back of your fingers or hand because this side can sense temperature better.

Thank you so much for the excellent reading and the book!
Your gift is so profound and genuine! I have so much more clarity and understanding of my path and gifts!
I had gifted my mother a reading with Diana, for her birthday. I tagged along for the experience and it will be something my mother and I will always remember. We were able to get through to relatives we were hoping to and received many reassuring and memorable messages from them. I have to admit I was a bit skeptical and was only along to support my mom, but Diane completely changed my mind after that experience. Thank you Diane for providing my mom with a wonderful birthday gift, and a day her and I will never forget!
I lost my soul mate out of the blue, months ago.
And as time went on I got more and more depressed.
When I got on the phone and went to the Internet.
Dianes website popped up on its own. I read it and right away made an appointment. When I got there I acted like I was all happy as I didn't want to give her any clues, but she knew. She told me right off that my husband was here with us. She knew things that only my husband and I knew. She was wonderful , and if you want help, this lady can help. Thank you so much Diane for everything you do for us!
I had a reading done by Diane and she was on point in describing the characteristics and personality of my children. She was on point about my career and my career goals.
I'm so excited and look forward to seeing if her reading about my future and my children future are accurate.
I have to admit, I was very skeptical of this whole psychic reading thing at first. Even cancelled & rescheduled my appointment. But, within the first 2 sentences, Diane made a believer out of me. There's no way she could have known to bring that topic up, and it was the one weighing most heavily on my heart. Thanks, Diane!
I have received excellent readings from Diane. She has made several incredible specific future predictions for me that came true. These were predictions that would have been impossible without true psychic ability. Diane is the real deal. So much so that she may not tell you what you want to hear, but what you need to hear.
I simply can't say enough good things about Diane. After reading the negative review, it's just difficult to believe that the person was ever truly open to the reading. That's the things about speaking with Mediums - you must be available to be read, and allow yourself to relax and open up emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.
Both my husband and myself had a reading from Diane - me a few weeks prior. He was very skeptical, but definitely believed in the gift. I went in with a very open mind, not sure what was going to come through. In the beginning of the call, Diane makes it very clear that she is essentially playing a game of charades, so she is shown pictures, worlds, sounds, names, etc. She immediately picked up on someone, a friend of mine's brother; then before I could even say who it was that I hoped to speak with, she said her name. It's not a common name either, and we weren't even related. Believe me, I scoured the internet before my reading in search of ANYTHING that could have been used in the call. I found very little, but definitely nothing that could have been used. At first, I was very reserved with my answers, not wanting to give too much away,and still a bit apprehensive. However, within a few minutes, Diane had already told me things that she would have NEVER known, had my loved ones not been sitting with her. She is the real deal, and she loves what she does.
After letting my husband listen to my call, I talked him into getting one himself. (He was raised in an extremely religious household and was always taught to stay away from this type of things. As he's grown up, though, he's developed his own beliefs, but his was still in the back of his mind.) As the call approached, he began to feel very nervous, wondering if it would be a waste of time or money. 9:00pm rolls around and he's dialing in. When Diane answered, I saw his face relax, and he was immediately warmer. She has a way of making you feel okay - like you're talking to someone you've known for years. It's very difficult to not get attached to chatting with her! Anyways, BOOM, right off the bat, she mentioned that my husband was a curriculum man and that he would be making a major decision in the next year regarding a change of direction in his field. That's amazing because he is a teacher and had JUST completed his principal certification, hoping to move into administration. The next thing she mentioned was his grandma, who is exactly the person he was hoping to connect with. Then his great aunt, and finally his grandfather. She mentioned that they know about our 5 month old son. She mentioned things that only he and I knew. What made him nearly lose it, crying very hard, was when she mentioned something that his grandparents had told only him - I didn't even know about this. He was truly blown away and spent the rest of the night just assessing what had been said to him. He seems lighter now. He seems free of anything that was once weighing him down. We can't thank Diane enough for this.
I cannot express just now grateful I am that we found Diane. She has truly changed our lives, especially my husbands, with the amazing answers she gave us. My suggestion to all, takes many notes, and record the phone call if you can. You will want to listen later when the adrenaline and emotion have died off - we have listened to each of our calls a couple of times and get something new out of it every time. I would, and do, recommend Diane to all of my friends and family.
I had the opportunity to meet with Diane last year and must honestly say she provided the closure and clarity I've been needing for many years. Diane is a spiritually grounded and guided Psychic with a wonderful personality.
I initially went to her with my heart sold on wanting to know more in depth about my family who has passed away. Upon getting into her meeting room I became hesitant and chose not to express my true intent for coming. She felt I wanted to know more about my family, surprised she knew this I agreed.
Without asking me Diane knew names, dates, location, causes of deaths and little things that only myself and the deceased loved one would know. My heart still beats fast when I think back on the experience.
I highly recommend Diane and will definitely go back to see her in the near future.
Diane did a reading for me and it was right on the mark. It gave me so much comfort and peace. She is a sensitive and caring person. Her ability to channel the souls who have passed is remarkable. I highly recommend her services.


Everyone knows the best food in Penang comes from hawker stalls. Nothing can compare to the wok hei of a stir-fried meal in a hawker stall. For those of you that aren't familiar, wok hei metaphorically translates to "breath of a wok", which refers to the charred aroma and taste of food cooked in a wok.
Hawker centres, sometimes known as food courts (not the same kind in malls!), are a foodie's heaven because of the variety of great hawker food stalls to choose from. If you want a delicious and satisfying meal in Penang, here are the top hawker centres that won't disappoint!
The famous Gurney Drive Hawker Centre is one of the best places to try the local cuisine. It has a large variety of food, perfect for tourists to sample food all in one place! As it's a popular destination, seats are hard to come by, so be prepared to move through the crowd and cramped space. Favourites at Gurney Drive include Char Koay Kak, a dish of stir-fried rice cake squares and bean sprouts, and Oh Chien, a dish of fried oyster omelette.
Another popular place with tantalising hawker stalls is the outdoor New Lane Hawker Centre. The street Lorong Baru closes off each day to make way for bustling food stalls and push carts. Specialties at New Lane include the famous Char Kuey Teow, Penang Hokkien Mee, Oh Chien (oyster omelette) and Chee Cheong Fun.
This hawker centre is not as well-known as the previous two, but that doesn't make it any less good. Doubtful? Sample the food for yourself! As it's not as popular, this also means there are fewer tourists. If you want somewhere that's less congested, Presgrave Street Hawker Centre is the place to go. Give the Hokkien Mee from 88 Hokkien Mee a try, it's among one of the best in Penang!
Similar to the other hawker centres, Chulia Street Night Hawker Stalls offers a wide variety of local food. You can expect local favourites like Char Kuey Teow, Lor Bak, Assam Laksa, Wanton Mee and more. On top of that, the street food here is more affordably priced compared to Gurney Drive or New Lane. If you feel like something sweet after your meal, have some deliciously sweet Apoms here!
This humble food court has everything you could ever crave for. From local flavours like kampung fried rice and satay to international dishes like pizza, it's sure to satisfy any picky eater! It's conveniently located on a stretch of Batu Ferringhi, you can even take a late night stroll along the beach after dinner. If you're having trouble deciding what to eat, their sizzling dishes are a hit among the tourists!

Barta Says 3 Rounds Of Complaints Led To Griesbaum's Firing
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — University of Iowa athletic director Gary Barta has testified that three rounds of complaints from parents and field hockey players prompted an investigation into the program that led to the firing of coach Tracey Griesbaum in 2014.
Griesbaum's termination is a central piece of a lawsuit filed by former administrator Jane Meyer against the university and was a focus Monday in testimony in Meyer's discrimination trial.
Meyer, who was Barta's longtime top assistant, filed the suit after being moved to another department soon after the firing of Griesbaum, who was her partner. Meyer's job was eliminated in 2016.
Meyer alleges she suffered workplace discrimination as a gay woman in a relationship with a coach, that the school retaliated against her and that she was paid less than a male counterpart.

(11/25/02) Joe and Jerilyn Robinson passed away last Friday - they died in their home from CO affixation.
Apparently, they did not turn off the engine of the car when they returned home, and CO permeated the house. Friends with whom Joe was to go golfing the following morning were concerned when he did not show up and did not call to say that he could not make the tee time, that was so unlike him.
They checked the house later in the day and saw that mail and papers were not picked up. After calling many times and no response, they notified the police and finally the police broke into the house Friday night and found them on the floor, in their night clothes.
We learned this Saturday night and have been working to help organize and schedule air transportation to get Jerilyn's family (2 sisters & nephews) down to Florida to take care of arrangements as the police would not let anyone have access to the premises except the next of kin due to the circumstances surrounding the deaths. Joe has two brothers and two sisters, one of the brothers is planning to go to Florida in the next day or two. We will be going down this Friday. Will let you know if there is further news. Right now no one knows what their final wishes are and the family members will be searching for their wills/trusts. Wherever the final services will be held, we plan to be there, and Joe will represent the Stoddard Alumni as chaplain and offer an eulogy and prayer from the group. Please take care. Say a prayer for them, and their families.
(12/20/02) We made it to Punta Gorda just at the end of the memorial service (9 to 11; we got there at 11:05!) Tried to take some photos - it was closed caskets. We ordered a red-white-blue spray for Joe's casket from the Stoddard, and we did the matching one for Jerilyn. The only photo we were able to get was from the funeral home's Polaroid camera. They flew the bodies to NY for services there, as they had lots of relatives and family friends up north. Burial services was at the national cemetery there. Lynne said that the Knights of Columbus provided color guard and the service was solemn and beautiful.
Every morning, Joe and Jerilyn Robinson arrived at Mass at the Sacred Heart Church here, always a minute or two late, but never more.
As soon as Mass started, not a minute would go by and they'd come in," Ron Duquette, the church's youth minister said Monday. With his eyes he showed how the couple would peer around the room looking for their spot. "They always seemed surprised -- Mass had already started." Middle section, right side. That was the Robinsons' spot.
Joe intended to skip Friday's Mass and go to a local golf course with friends. They arrived shortly after sunrise to pick him up, but nobody answered the door, and telephone calls to the house later that afternoon were not returned.
That night, as friends returned to the couple's home, growing ever more certain that something wasn't right, a dim light shone through the bedroom window.
Police were called, and they entered the house about 9 p.m.
They found Joseph J. Robinson, 72, and his wife, Jerilyn M., 61, New York City natives married 36 years, dead on their bedroom floor.
They had died there sometime Thursday night or early Friday morning, apparently from carbon monoxide poisoning.
Both were wearing night clothes, and lay near each other.
Investigators say the Robinsons' minivan, which was parked in the garage, had been running since the couple returned home from Thursday night socializing -- riding the ferris wheel at the church's weekend carnival, a round or two of cards at a friend's house. They came home about 11 p.m. and never turned the car off.
The heat was so intense in the attached double-car garage, which was connected to the house through a door and an air-conditioning unit, that wood panels had buckled.
Based on preliminary investigation, city police were treating the deaths as accidental. They were investigating whether a carbon monoxide detector in the house failed to activate.
City police Cmdr. Jason P. Ciaschini said the death investigation remains open, but initial observations show no suggestion of foul play.
"The only solace in this whole thing is that they went together," Duquette said.
A strand of white Rosary beads dangled from the van's rearview mirror Monday. The garage was still warm as friends and family grappled with the loss of a couple who brought excitement into the lives of many here.
"She was almost like a daughter to us," said close friend Mary Ellen Tilka, 83. She and her husband, Michael, met the couple through church. The Robinsons, devout Catholics, rarely missed church.
They often dined with friends, shopped and played cards. The couple met over a series of Friday night card games at her father's house in Long Beach, N.Y.
"They're playing cards every Friday night and the next thing you know they were getting married," recalled Lynne Flood, Jerilyn's sister, who lives in New York.
"They hit it off instantly over the dining room table. It was a very quick romance," Flood, 56, said.
Jerilyn and Joe grew up in Manhattan, in the Yorkville neighborhood on the Upper East Side, but never crossed paths there.
With five months of high school left, Joe dropped out and joined the Navy, where he served on the USS Stoddard, a destroyer, during the Korean War.
"He said, 'The war's here. I gotta go,'" said John Robinson, 61, the youngest of four Robinson brothers.
Joe Robinson remained in touch with his fellow Stoddard crewmen.
Jerilyn Robinson, who shared her computer skills with countless people here, was a retired AT&T supervisor who worked in New York City. Her husband was an expert mechanic who worked on elevators in a city full of skyscrapers.
The couple had their house built in the 200 block of Garvin Street in 1985. They lived here year-round for about the last 10 years, developing a lifestyle that included dining out often and being involved with the church.
Funeral arrangements will be made after the medical examiner has finished with his report, family members said.
The couple had no children. Jerilyn Robinson is survived by two sisters; Joseph Robinson leaves two brothers and two sisters.

Current: David Miller 2015 Award winner Benjamin Langendorf reports from ICOM8 Flagstaff, Arizona
David Miller 2015 Award winner Benjamin Langendorf reports from ICOM8 Flagstaff, Arizona
The David Miller Travel Bursary Award aims to give early career plant scientists or horticulturists the opportunity of overseas travel in connection with their horticultural careers. Benjamin Langendorf was awarded one of the 2015 David Miller Travel Bursaries and he travelled to Flagstaff Arizona, USA to attend the 8th International Conference of Mycorrhiza which took place between 3 - 7 August 2015.
Benjamin's research interests are in the areas of plant-insect-microbes interactions including ecological and molecular aspects. He is currently a PhD student under the supervision of Prof. Xiangming Xu of East Malling Research (EMR) and Dr. Angela Hodge of York University. Presently, he is investigating the effects of pre-colonisation of strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa) runners and tray plants with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) to manage Verticillium wilt and conducting research on the effect of biotic and abiotic factors on strawberry root colonisation. Additionally he is studying the effect of AMF on wilt and the genetic and physiological basis of reduced wilt incidence by AMF.
'The 8th International Conference on Mycorrhiza (ICOM8) took place from 3 - 7 August 2015 in Flagstaff, Arizona, in the southwest of the United States. It was organized by Northern Arizona University (NAU) under the auspices of the International Mycorrhiza Society. The theme of this conference was 'Mycorrhizal integration across continents and scales'. The main goal of ICOM8 was to find common interests that transcend national borders and scientific disciplines, and to stimulate a productive exchange of information and ideas among mycorrhizal researchers from around the world, including physiologists, geneticists, taxonomists, ecologists, inoculum producers, and land managers.
'Mycorrhiza is the most common underground symbiosis and is present in 92% of plant families studied (80% of species), with arbuscular mycorrhizas being the predominant form. This relationship consists in the colonisation of plant roots by the micro-organism and the creation of a site of nutrient exchange. Plants receive mineral nutrients such as inorganic phosphates and mineral or organic nitrogen. In return the plants provide carbohydrates to the mycorrhizal fungi. Beneficial microorganisms associations with plant roots contribute to sustainable horticulture and agriculture, including protected crops. Most agricultural crops could perform better and are more productive when well-colonised by mycorrhizal fungi. Many researchers highlighted the fact that mycorrhiza can help plants to overcome replanting stresses more successfully, to cope with conditions such as drought or high levels of salt, and to increase pest and/or disease resistance. The movements towards more sustainable forms of agriculture will result in an increased use of AM fungi and other beneficial microbes in the future. Facing the stark reality of increasing demands for food production, food security, reduction of nutrient deficiency and chemical sprays; mycorrhiza may support crop phosphorous nutrition and pest management in horticulture and agriculture.
'ICOM8 was a truly global conference. Approximately 475 people from more than 50 countries joined together for a week of scientific and social exchanges. We could learn about exciting new discoveries and also reflect on the wisdom of 'past giants' in the field of mycorrhizal science. This emersion of knowledge helped to catalyse new ways of thinking and advance our abilities to study and understand mycorrhizal symbioses across scales.
'I was amongst a group of UK-based delegates that attended the conference, which included representatives from a mycorrhizal inoculum producer company (PlantWorks Ltd), East Malling Research and the University of York.
'During the course of the conference, I was able to present my paper and research. The paper I presented on the effect of arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi (AMF) on the growth and health of strawberry planting materials was very well received and I had a great opportunity to talk with numerous people about my PhD studies.
'My work described how mycorrhizal inoculation is beneficial to strawberry production for plant growth, yield and soil-borne disease tolerance. I also described that the early inoculation of strawberry with AMF in peat based substrate is possible and that AMF could survive several months under cold storage plants under water stress when compared with un-inoculated control treatments, however mycorrhizal treatment showed little difference in plant response to soil-borne pathogens and native AMF population in a glasshouse experiment.
'As might be expected from an international symposium, both global and local issues were presented, some of which were relevant to UK horticulture, and some not. There seemed to be very little work addressing the role of mycorrhizal fungi on drought tolerance and water uptake to plants. The effects of horticultural practices such as chemical treatments, heavy fertilisation regimes or soil-less substrates on the formation and functioning of mycorrhizal symbiosis were under investigated. More investigations on host/AMF/artificial substrate combinations would be of great interest for the English horticultural industry. Instead there seemed to be an emphasis on the study on forests, grasslands or field crops mycorrhizal and microbial community structures using a metagenomic approach to characterise agro- and eco-system properties.
'I am grateful for the contribution from AHDB, GCRI, RHS and the SCI Horticulture Group that enabled me to attend ICOM8. It was particularly important for me to experience an international conference of this kind since I have decided to orientate my research on the interaction between beneficial microbes against soil borne pathogens in horticultural crops. Attending this conference enabled me to network with key researchers in the relevant areas and to keep abreast of latest development in mycorrhiza research.'

At the end of another All Japan Micromouse contest, there is plenty to look back on and lots of ideas for the future. The tide is definitely changing for the classic micromouse contest and probably also for the half-size. Fans of all kinds are everywhere.It is always a huge pleasure to be in Japan at the micromouse contest. There are so many entries and it is great to meet old friends and make new ones. The atmosphere is wonderful – deeply competitive but unfailingly friendly and helpful to all. The organisation is fantastic and overseas visitors are made very welcome. Translators are provided to help with any difficulties and the contest booklet even has sections in English to help you find your way about. the general instructions are in the form of a comic by Sanea Kawakami.
This year the contest was held at Meisei University to the West of Tokyo. All the events and the contestants workspace were located in the main gymnasium and, as usual, it was very busy during the practice and qualifying sessions.
The Friday practice session can be pretty stressful as you discover how well your mouse will do in the local maze. In my case, everything looked good until the mouse set out for a speed run and then it would just stop dead. There follows a growing sense of dread as you try to work out what has gone wrong and try to find ways to fix it. All this is complicated by the queue of similarly distressed participants waiting to get at a practice maze. Sanea-san's comic understands all.
On Saturday the contest proper begins with the qualification runs. With so many entries, the field must be reduced to manageable proportions to create a running order for the finals on the Sunday. Freshmen micromouse entries (those who have not entered a contest before) are so numerous that the qualifiers consist of four simultaneous sets of contests run in the corners of one maze. For the classic micromouse, the top 20-25 entries are selected for the final where they join seeded entries who have pre-qualified by winning regional contests earlier in the year.
My mouse performed reasonably well even though it only did one speed run and I finished the qualifiers in 8th place. The qualifying run revealed a (hopefully) minor bug which I found and corrected later on Saturday evening.
Eating in Japan can be an interesting experience. If you have never been, you may have been told that everything is very expensive. While it is true that you can find expensive things and it is always possible to spend a lot of money, eating can be great fun and inexpensive. A particularly entertaining feature of Japanese restaurants is the variety of ways that exist to select, order and pay for your food. The University Canteen uses the ticket machine system where you put money into a machine and buttons light up to show what is available for the amount of money you have put in. Press the buttons, get your change and a ticket pops out. You take that ticket to the counter and your food is prepared right there (or brought to you at your table in some regular restaurants). If you are lucky, the buttons have pictures on them of the food they represent. At the University there is only text and beside the machines is a display cabinet with model versions of the dishes you selected.
Now, with lots of choices, queues of hungry students behind you, no idea how to read Japanese and the display cabinet now out of sight behind other hungry browsers, you may just have to press a button and eat what you get. It gives the phrase 'mystery meat' a whole new meaning.
Now it gets a bit more tense. Sunday is finals day. Opportunities to test the mouse are greatly reduced simply because everyone is very focussed on any overnight changes they may have made and access to test areas is difficult with queues and time limits imposed to keep everything moving along. I had made a change to some parameters overnight and there was no practical way to find out if I had reduced the likelihood of a high speed crash until the mouse actually got to run in the final. It turns out to be the least of my worries, as you will see. With nothing practical to be done, it was best to sit back and enjoy the contests.
The Robotrace track turned out to be so long that I could not even get a decent photo of it. Before the event opens, it lies in one corner of the hall, covered in cloth.
After the Robotrace event, and a lunch that we felt would not be a surprise when it arrived, it was time for the classic micromouse contest – my event.
About half the entries had been run in the morning while the robotrace was still running so there were already a number of good times posted. The running order is the reverse of the qualifying event results order. that means the fastest mice run last which can build the excitement nicely. I would be eighth from last to run. However, since many of the seeded mice had already run, there were already some impressive times on the leaderboard.
Exia is the entry from Naoto Hiramatsu. This is a mouse with a suction fan to hold it down onto the floor with additional downforce. That allows much faster runs. Utsonomiya-san built a fan assisted mouse that changed the whole direction of micromouse building when it was the first fan-assisted mouse to win the event in 2014. Exia's would be a time that was hard to beat. As it turned out, they were all good times. Utsonomiya-san's current classic mouse, Red Dragon ran second to last and put an end to Exias hopes of victory with a time that was a little faster at 4. did post a time better at 4.739 seconds. The very last mouse to run – DiuGow 4 – just managed to beat Red Dragon by a mere 6 milliseconds on its second speed run but then went on to post two more successively faster runs to win convincingly with a best time of 4.655 seconds.
For some reason, all of the last ten or so mice to run suffered from one problem or another. For some, like DiuGow 4, these were unimportant and only prevented the mouse from returning to the start after a speed run. For others, like HIPPO C2 which was third fastest in the qualifier, it meant that it was not possible to get a speed run at all.
For me, it was all about the searching, I failed to get to the goal on the first three runs and was starting to get a little desperate. The same turn let me down each time. On the fourth run, it succeeded and gave me just one chance at a speed run which was then necessarily the slowest of my speed run options. The time for that run (7.496 seconds) was certainly not going to get me on the leaderboard. I finished 13th overall. Note that the fastest 6 mice all had suction fans.
After the contest, I managed to put Decimus back in the maze and go through the speed runs. The best I could do was 6.817 seconds. That would have been enough to get 9th place and it would have been the second fastest non-suction mouse behind Beng Kiat's Min 7. Such is the contest. No point wondering what might have been. Just get on and fi the reliability.
it was a complex maze with an optimal path that was hard to find. Many mice took a long time searching. You may just be able to spot a very long diagonal leading back to the goal area near the start. The fastest mice found and took that route.
It was a ridiculously exciting event.
Utsonomiya-san had a lot of trouble with his mouse crashing on the last two cells of the very long diagonal at the end of the route. He had one run left and the clock was ticking down. He released his mouse with around 12 seconds left on the clock. The mouse crashed and everyone was upset. Utsonomiya-san looked distraught. After a pause he walked to pick it up. As he did so, it freed itself and shot down the long diagonal into the goal. We all looked at the scoreboard to see that he had got the best run time of the contest by a large margin. It was also immediately apparent that the clock had ticked down to zero – apparently simultaneously with his mouse entering the goal. There was a small amount of confusion and adjudication was sought to make sure that his time was valid. It was.
Khiew Tzong-Yong crashed out badly and did not even get to search. That was very unfortunate.
Ng Beng Kiat had sensor trouble and could not get speed run to complete.
Finally, it was Matsui-san as the only possible contender.
He too crashed on his first speed run but then managed 6.689 on his next speed run. Run four however, got him 5.862 to take the lead.
For his final run, everyone was chanting for max parameters.
Inspiring! Thanks for your great efforts at communicating/educating/mentoring.
Exia is not the entry from Utsonomiya.
Utsonomiya's mouse for full size is Red Comet.
The mastermind for 3rd place, EXIA is Noriaki Nakagawa 平松 直人, just FYI.
Oops. I will have to do an edit when I have a bit more time with WiFi. Thanks for pointing it out.
Hello from Japan! I am very glad to see your impressive report that you had a great visit!
The kanji, "平松 直人", is correct, but his name is Naoto Hiramatsu (Hiramatsu is the last name).
It is always difficult for foreigner to read Japanese names, but Google translation would greatly help you specifically for this situation.
Thank you so much for the correction. I think I have edited the post to make it read correctly and with the right name now.
oh, right, forgot to check the spelling, haha. Thanks for the correction, Todo San.
It isn't that hard for Chinese people to read blog written in Japanese since we pretty much guess most of the content by the Chinese Character part(Kanji?) In fact the google translator doesn't help that much better from Japanese to Chinese for better understanding so I don't bother to use it most of the time.
However, for those who are not using with east Asian language as first language are completely living in a different world. Glad Peter could have so many help from these native speaker like you who also understand English.
Todo San, do you know where we can find the portrait of Hiramatsu San's latest mouse Exia? Thank you.
Yeah, I often feel almost the same for Chinese text. I have no idea what is actually written but can get the meaning somehow. Really strange.
Wow, I'm glad to hear that since I am following you on YouTube and looking forward to seeing your new videos.
Yes, I tried to display a 32-bit integer in hexadecimal format (which results in 8 digits) for further debugging (e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YKjkTr0oTE). It was relatively easy and effective, so I recommend the technique if you feel tight in the 4 characters.
So your last name is Todo?
I was actually working on 128×32 oled now for future mouse but my next one will still be the HCMS-2903 display.
I will start to work on my new mouse after Mid December for the upcoming APEC, including some major search/path algorithm updates. Since I am short in time for APEC, I will only make a relative minu-hardware update… Hopefully I will be able to make it in order to release more videos.

Sculpture and Gathering | Moon Tent Celebration with Olga Balema and Ei Arakawa & Sarah Chow
Wed | 6-8PM
On the occasion of Rosemary Mayer: Ways of Attaching, please join us for Moon Tent Celebration, on the evening of the October full moon.
On October 2, 1982, Rosemary Mayer made a temporary monument named Moon Tent (1982) at the home of the art historian Robert Hobbs in Lansing, New York. There, she wrapped an existing rooftop gazebo with pale glassine paper and invited viewers to watch the full moon that night. The glow of the full moon was to light the paper, creating a temporary phenomenon that would disappear the next day. Mayer described it as a "ghost tent, proliferating ghosts and the ghosts of tents in changes of light." Mayer made several drawings and posters for propositional "Moon Tents," including tents for New York rooftops. For this October full moon, SI invited New York based artist Olga Balema to modify the structure on SI's rooftop, and the artist has responded with a new sculpture that will be temporarily on view. As part of the celebration, artists Ei Arakawa and Sarah Chow will co-host a nighttime picnic for the reemergence of mingling. This return to socializing will include seasonal topics of conversation. "How is your new normal?" "What do we do now?"
To RSVP, please email rsvp@swissinstitute.net. Please note: events at Swiss Institute are limited capacity, and entry is on a first-come, first-served basis. An RSVP does not guarantee entry. The event will also be livestreamed on Zoom. To register, please click here.
Olga Balema (b. 1984 in Lviv, Ukraine) is an artist who currently lives and works in New York.
Ei Arakawa (b. 1977 in Fukushima, Japan) is a performance artist based in Los Angeles and New York. His performances are created through diverse collaborations, with individuals physically participating as performers, and/or their works themselves functioning as performers. He has established the act of such collaborations as his very practice. Arakwa's selected exhibitions include; Honolulu Biennial, USA; Sculpture Project Münster, Germany; The 9th Berlin Biennale, Germany; The Gwangju Biennial, South Korea; the Whitney Biennial, New York; the Carnegie International in Pittsburgh; Tate Modern in London, and The Museum of Modern Art in New York.

State of the Industry 1988
This year's Seatrade Cruise Shipping Seminar, held in Miami Feb. 25 and 26, attracted record attendance of more than 450 delegates and 60 exhibitors.
In his opening remarks, Kirk Lanterman, President of Holland America and Chairman of CLIA, tried to set an optimistic tone. He said that capacity will grow by an average rate of 7.2 percent per year, and that passenger growth will exceed 10 percent per year. "If anything," Lanterman said, "the cruise industry today is scrambling to stay ahead of the game."
Other cruise line executives voiced more cautious optimism. Pericles S. Panagopoulos, Chairman, Royal Cruise Line, asked if it could be that the body count is up but per diems are down. He said he did not mean to temper the enthusiasm expressed, but said the point is to collect per diems to justify the investment in ships. One executive admitted that publicly cruise line executives express optimism, but express concerns about bookings privately.

Coya Come Home by Gretchen Urnes Beito
Coya has come home again in this intimate biography of Congresswoman Coya Knutson, the Minnesota farmwife who took Washington by storm, published to celebrate her 100th birthday August 22, 2012. Vice-President Walter F. Mondale has written the Foreword to this true story behind the "Coya, Come Home" newspaper headlines that jolted the world. In this updated edition, author Gretchen Urnes Beito reveals for the first time the identity of the mastermind behind those infamous "Coya Come Home" letters.
"COYA COME HOME," a newspaper headline that reverberated around the world in May 1958, referred to the publication of a letter written by Congresswoman Knutson's husband demanding that she abandon her political aspirations and return home to be a full-time housewife. He charged that the 45-year-old Congresswoman and her handsome 29-year-old administrative assistant were having a love affair. As a consequence of "the letter," Coya Knutson lost her Congressional seat; her personal life was in shambles and her political career was permanently destroyed. For many readers it was simply an amusing tale of the hayseed farmer who wanted his pretty blonde wife back home in the kitchen rather than on Capitol Hill. However, it was also a story of political intrigue, domestic violence and the stifling social attitudes of the time.
The publisher will apply all proceeds from the sale of Coya Come Home, on behalf of the Oslo Center for Human Rights-USA, specifically in support of women entering the field of public policy. $20 plus $7 postage.

Q: ControlFX Action Usage I have an application with both MenuBar and ToolBar. I found in ControlsFX documentation that it is possible to define the action event logic in a different class and assign it to buttons, menuitems and togglebuttons define by fxml. More or less like a router in php frameworks(e.g laravel).
Here is the description

An action in JavaFX can be used to separate functionality and state from a control. For example, if you have two or more controls that perform the same function (e.g. one in a Menu and another on a toolbar), consider using an Action object to implement the function. An Action object provides centralized handling of the state of action-event-firing components such as buttons, menu items, etc. The state that an action can handle includes text, graphic, long text (i.e. tooltip text), and disabled.

The problem is that i was not able to get enough info to use it in my application. Here is a simple example i have so far
public class RootController implements Initializable {
@FXML
private MenuItem menuOne;
@FXML
private MenuItem menuTwo;
@FXML
private MenuItem menuThree;
@FXML
private Button tbOne;
@FXML
private Button tbTwo;
@FXML
private Button tbThree;

@Override
public void initialize(URL url, ResourceBundle rb) {
    // TODO
}
}

Main
public class MainApp extends Application {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {launch(args); }

public void start(Stage stage) throws Exception {
    FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader(getClass().getResource("/fxml/root.fxml"));
    loader.setController(new RootController());
    Scene scene = new Scene((Parent)loader.load(), 400, 200);
    stage.setTitle("ControlFX Action API");
    stage.setScene(scene);
    stage.show();
}
}

AppRouter
public class AppRouter {
public AppRouter(){
    ActionMap.register(this);
}

public void testOne(){
    System.out.println("testOne");
}

public void testTwo(){
    System.out.println("testTwo");
}

public void testThree(){
    System.out.println("testThree");
}
}

My problem is how to assign the methods in AppRouter to buttons and menuitems in the RootController
Update
I will gladly accept anyother alternative answer too.

A:
Let's assume that you will create an Instance of AppRouter class in
  the Application class:

public class MainApp extends Application {

AppRouter appRouter = new AppRouter(); //here................

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {launch(args); }

public void start(Stage stage) throws Exception {
    FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader(getClass().getResource("/fxml/root.fxml"));
    loader.setController(new RootController());
    Scene scene = new Scene((Parent)loader.load(), 400, 200);
    stage.setTitle("ControlFX Action API");
    stage.setScene(scene);
    stage.show();
}
}

Then you can have a method which accepts an AppRouter,in the
  FXMLController:

public class RootController implements Initializable {
@FXML
private MenuItem menuOne;
@FXML
private MenuItem menuTwo;
@FXML
private MenuItem menuThree;
@FXML
private Button tbOne;
@FXML
private Button tbTwo;
@FXML
private Button tbThree;

@Override
public void initialize(URL url, ResourceBundle rb) {
    // TODO
}

public void acceptRouter(AppRouter router){

   //register or call router methods here
  }
}

How to get the controller you just created into the MainApp class?

    FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader(getClass().getResource("/fxml/root.fxml"));
    loader.setController(new RootController());

    RootController controller = loader.getController(); //simple as this,although check the method name if it is the same cause i added this from phone
    controller.acceptRouter(appRouter);


Quicken Loans, Inc, is one of the reliable lending institutions that people can run to. A company founded during 1985, this was previously known as the Rock Financial, Corp. In 1999, they changed their name to Quicken Loans, Inc. offering mortgage loan solutions to those who want to purchase a home or keep the ones they are currently living in. The bank provides a loan modification service that matches no other. They even offer services online for retail and lender mortgages in the United States. Other services that are ready for borrowers are loan modification, refinancing, reverse mortgage, direct access to mortgage specialists, loan options home equities, real-time loan comparison, real-time loan status information and home-financing education.
This bank focuses on their refinancing division. As much as they can help people with their home mortgages, they will. As a result of this, they were able to come up with the Quicken Loans Mortgage Services. It is a type of loan modification program that improves the payment terms of their clients. For those outside the vicinity of the United States, they can enjoy this offer.
Banks in general are becoming stricter in approving loan modification applications. They have to make sure that they are very critical in making the decision to find out who is qualified or not. As the applicant, you have to do your part in finding out if you are qualified for this or not. You will find that although a loan modification may sound helpful, it may not necessarily be the one that is the perfect solution.
Quicken Loans Mortgage Services will be able to deliver service as you can expect it. For the longest time, they are known to provide customers with only the best. This also applies for this program too. Clients will be able to choose from the different options for a loan modification. No matter what it is that they are experiencing, they will be able to start working with the right loan modification program from Quicken Loans Mortgage Services.
Recently, they have joint business with the Fortress Investment Group LCC. The public has been waiting for what comes with this joint venture as is it a big step taken. The bank has carefully strategized refinance options for customers. They make sure that payment term adjustments are made properly. Two companies will share equal benefit from their loan modification programs. They also make sure that borrowers will benefit as well.


We are delighted to announce that all of our U6 Scholars have been awarded places on scholarship to their future schools. This means that they have taken rigorous exams across a wide range of subjects and done well enough to enter their chosen schools through this route – no mean feat as the standard of many of the papers is more akin to the old A/S level papers than to GCSE.
Very well done to all of them. They are all going to excellent schools. Now they can relax a little and look forward to the wide variety of exciting activities on offer in the Milbourne Leavers' Programme.

Q: datagrid editcommand set dropdownlist selectedvalue I have a datagrid and I want to set the value of a dropdownlist in editcommand.
However, I can't find the control?
Here's my .net:
Private Sub dgUsers_EditCommand(ByVal source As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridCommandEventArgs) Handles dgUsers.EditCommand

    Dim ddl As DropDownList = CType(e.Item.Cells(3).FindControl("ddlRole"), DropDownList)
    'ddl.SelectedValue = "20"

    dgUsers.EditItemIndex = e.Item.ItemIndex
    Call bindUsers()
    dgUsers.ShowFooter = False
End Sub

Here's my html:
<asp:TemplateColumn HeaderText="Role">
            <ItemTemplate>
                <asp:Label ID="lblRole" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("GetRoleName") %>' />
            </ItemTemplate>
            <EditItemTemplate>
                <asp:DropDownList id="ddlRole" runat="server">
                    <asp:ListItem Text="User" Value="0" />
                    <asp:ListItem Text="WRA" Value="10" />
                    <asp:ListItem Text="Admin" Value="20" />
                </asp:DropDownList>
            </EditItemTemplate>
        </asp:TemplateColumn>

While debugging in the EditCommand, I can find the Label (lblRole), but not the dropdownlist.
Thoughts?!?

A: I just figured it out. Even though the IDE doesn't show the property, you can set the SelectedValue on the design side:
<EditItemTemplate>
                <asp:DropDownList id="ddlRole" runat="server" SelectedValue='<%# Eval("GetRoleId") %>'>
                    <asp:ListItem Text="User" Value="0" />
                    <asp:ListItem Text="WRA" Value="10" />
                    <asp:ListItem Text="Admin" Value="20" />
                </asp:DropDownList>
            </EditItemTemplate>
