The reproductive rights movement has deep roots in Georgia
September 12, 2016, 4:39 pm /1 Comment
In this column, members of Georgia Humanities and their colleagues take turns discussing Georgia's history and culture, and other topics that matter. Through different voices, we hear different stories.
This week, ELLEN G. RAFSHOON, a professor of history at Georgia Gwinnett College, reveals Georgia's role in the history of reproductive rights in America.
By Ellen G. Rafshoon
Ellen G. Rafshoon
Civil liberties lawyers and obstetricians in Atlanta are collaborating to stop enforcement of Georgia's 20-week abortion ban. In challenging the "fetal pain" law, they represent a largely unheralded tradition of reproductive rights advocacy in Georgia that has been as fervent as the opposition. Few are aware, however, that these activists based mostly in Atlanta have had a major impact on extending women's access to birth control and abortion throughout the United States.
An early milestone in Georgia's reproductive rights movement can be traced to the work of the Emory University School of Medicine obstetricians who opened a birth control clinic at Grady Memorial Hospital in 1962, shortly after the Pill and the intrauterine device (IUD) were approved by the FDA. Grady's program was the only place in Georgia where a woman too poor to see a private doctor could obtain these new methods of birth control. Having declined to distribute the Pill, Georgia's public health clinics promoted abstinence and distributed contraceptive foams.
Georgia was also home to the first Planned Parenthood outpost in the Southeast, which was established in 1964 by Esther Kahn Taylor, a progressive Jewish philanthropist and the wife of pharmacist-turned-real-estate-developer Herbert Taylor. The first meeting of the Planned Parenthood Association of Atlanta (PPAA) was held in Brookhaven more than 50 years ago, in October 1964. The PPAA's biracial board of directors comprised women's club leaders, Emory-Grady physicians, clergy, businessmen, public health professionals, and one of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s favorite professors at Morehouse College, Dr. Walter P. Chivers. Within a decade, PPAA operated eight charity clinics in Atlanta and one in Roswell, initially under the guidance of Emory's Dr. Luella Klein, the first female president of the American Association of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. National Planned Parenthood used the Atlanta chapter as a model to open clinics throughout the South, so that today there are 43 chapters in the region.

Atlanta Planned Parenthood helped secure laws that made it possible for single women and teens to obtain contraceptives. The most enthusiastic champion of family planning in the statehouse was Albany representative and future governor George Busbee. By near unanimous vote, lawmakers approved Busbee's measure authorizing the state public health system to prescribe modern contraceptives.
Epidemiologists at the Atlanta-based Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, who used Georgia as a laboratory for studying maternal health, forwarded the goals of local physicians, feminists and civil libertarians seeking to decriminalize abortion. In the 1960s and early 1970s, these scientists reported on the huge, unmet need for family-planning assistance and on the link between high rates of maternal death and illegal abortions. The CDC studies, whose authors include physician Dr. Roger Rochat, who currently teaches a course on abortion at Emory's Rollins School of Public Health, were cited frequently in legislative debates over abortion as well as lawsuits that challenged restrictive laws.
The most significant case involving abortion rights that relied on CDC data was Doe v. Bolton, involving a young mother, Sandra Bensing, who was denied an abortion at Grady Memorial in 1969. Bensing was unemployed, married to a convicted child molester, and had been incapable of caring for her three children.
In chronicling the history of abortion rights, the Doe case has been overshadowed by Roe v. Wade, although they were companion cases before the Supreme Court. Considered a milestone in constitutional law, the court's 1973 opinion extended the right to privacy to the decision to have an abortion. Two Atlanta lawyers delivered the lead arguments in Doe. Civil rights lawyer Margie Pitts Hames represented Bensing; Georgia was defended by Dorothy Toth Beasley, then an assistant attorney general and later an appeals court judge. Briefs supporting Bensing were submitted by public health doctors, including those working at Grady and Emory, civil libertarians, feminists, and the local Planned Parenthood chapter leaders.
The 7-2 ruling in Doe overturned Georgia's 1968 abortion law. Although it was considered one of the most liberal abortion laws in the United States at that juncture, the Supreme Court held it was still unduly restrictive. For example, only women who faced imminent death or carried a malformed fetus could undergo an abortion. Reasons such as the mother's impaired mental health, poverty, or in Bensing's case, marriage to an abusive spouse, were not sufficient justifications. Indeed, Georgia hospitals approved so few abortions that the CDC reported no significant improvement in maternal health.

Just as was the case in the recent Whole Woman's Health v. Hellerstadt ruling (2016) striking down a Texas abortion law, the extent to which a state can regulate abortion providers — clinics, hospitals, and physicians — was at issue in Doe v. Bolton. In both cases, a majority of justices took a dim view of policies that burdened a woman's access to abortion services without enhancing her safety. In Doe, the court struck down Georgia's mandate that early-term abortions be performed in hospitals rather than freestanding clinics as well as a provision that made hospital administrators, not the woman's physician, the gatekeepers for abortion.
The Roe and Doe decisions aroused a nascent "right to life movement" in Georgia, which made Atlanta's abortion clinics a target, especially during the 1996 Olympics. With passionate activists on both sides of the abortion question, there is no doubt that this state will continue to be at the forefront of the debate over women's reproductive freedoms.

Six firefighters in breathing apparatus used two 45ml jets, two high pressure hose reels and 25 litres of foam to extinguish the fire, before damping down the area.
A total of 19 cars were destroyed by the fire on the site. The cause of the fire is thought to be accidental.

I don't travel without them. As a seasoned business traveler, I've used everything from Bose to Sennheiser and prefer the Rayz because of comfort, sound quality, and portability. When wearing on-ear and over-the-ear headphones, they become uncomfortable and warm which never is the case with the Rayz. The noise cancellation is great because it easily allows me to auto calibrate to my immediate surroundings, with the touch of a button. The app is intuitive as it allows me to fine-tune my preferences. I regularly use my Rayz for conference calls as the microphone is outstanding. Callers on the other end tell me the sound quality is crystal clear. Last, is be remiss not to mention the sound quality. The Rayz gives you deep rich bass as well as good mid and high tones. An overall good listening experience. I bought the Rayz Plus because I need the ability to charge my iPhone while using the earbuds. While I like the idea of wireless Bluetooth earbuds, I constantly find that they need to be charged. With Rayz, they are powered by the Lightning port on my iPhone and always ready when I need them.

Can Religion Help Rejuvenate the Black Community?
By sidelining religion, have we unintentionally contributed to other economic, social, and political problems which plague American life?

A while back, Intellectual Takeout wrote a piece on the black on black crime rate in Chicago. Tragically, nearly three-quarters of Chicago murder victims AND the perpetrators are black.
Combined with the depressing number of out-of-wedlock births, incarcerations, and other problematic trends, statistics like these can seem insurmountable.
But new research highlighted in The Atlantic suggests that there is a factor which can reduce these statistics. In a word? Church.
According to The Atlantic:
"Churchgoing black men are significantly less likely to participate in what the sociologist Elijah Anderson has called the 'code of the street': an ethos marked by violence, criminal activity, a live-for-the-moment mentality, and a desire to protect oneself by projecting strength. This culture has emerged partly from the structural disadvantages black men face, including racism, concentrated poverty, police brutality, and fatherless households. …
This culture, and the injustices from which it flows, helps explain why some young black men end up struggling in America.
Yet millions of black men in the U.S. live in communities with different norms, including industriousness, honesty, respect for the law, and temperance. For many of these men, faith is a defining feature.
According to researchers W. Bradford Wilcox and Nicholas H. Wolfinger, church involvement reduces many of the problems young black men typically struggle with. This is particularly the case in the areas of unemployment and marriage. Those who avoided church were 8% more likely to be out of work or school and 8% less likely to be married. As Wilcox and Wolfinger note, the marriage statistics are particularly important since "married African American men have more money and are happier and healthier."
For years mainstream culture has tried to convince us that religion and morality are a thing of the past and unnecessary in the modern world in which we live. But judging by the above statistics, is there a case to be made for the importance of the moral values and community presence which the church offers? By sidelining religion, have we unintentionally contributed to other economic, social, and political problems which plague American life?

1917: Herbet Morris, British West Indies Regiment deserter 1795: Sayat-Nova
1397: Richard FitzAlan, Earl of Arundel
September 21st, 2017 Headsman
"Torment me not long, strike off my head in one blow"
-supposed last words of Richard Fitzalan, Earl of Arundel, to his executioner
On this date in 1397, the Earl of Arundel was condemned and immediately beheaded in London's Cheapside.
Not to be confused with his grandfather, the Earl of Arundel* beheaded 71 years earlier for loyalty to his deposed king, our man Richard FitzAlan earned the chop for being a thorn in his king's backside.
As one of England's great magnates, Arundel had played a principal role for many years in the bloody struggle with King Richard II over power and prerogatives; he was one of the three original Lords Appellant whose rebellion against Richard brought about their "Merciless Parliament" in 1388, and its cruel purge of royal loyalists.
Powerless at that time to impede the Lords Appellant, then-21-year-old King Richard quietly nurtured hatred of his foes for many years until he was in a position to really strike them. This was a delicate and a long-term business, but Richard's bitterness proved equal to the revenge. In 1397, Richard finally — per Froissart — "decided upon a bold and daring move. He had reflected that it was better to destroy than to be destroyed and that speedy action could prevent his uncle from ever being a threat to him again."
Said uncle was the Duke of Gloucester, another one (the senior one) of those difficult Lords Appellant. To conquer Gloucester required daring indeed: Richard lured him away from the considerable protection of his own retinue on the pretext of a hunting trip, and led him into an ambush where the Earl Marshal could arrest him undefended.
Needing now to stay ahead of the news, Richard flew for London to complete his counter-coup and the next day had Arundel arrested along with the other of the three original Lords Appellant, the Earl of Warwick. Mighty Gloucester had been spirited secretly to Calais to be murdered in prison; a more formal version of the same fate awaited Arundel.**
It may be said that the Duchess of Gloucester, with her son Humphrey and her two daughters, were naturally deeply distressed when their husband and father was brought home dead, and the Duchess had to suffer another blow when the King had her uncle. Earl Richard of Arundel, publicly beheaded in Cheapside, London. None of the great barons dared to thwart the King or dissuade him from doing this. King Richard was present at the execution and it was carried out by the Earl Marshal, who was married to Lord Arundel's daughter and who himself blindfolded him. (Froissart, again)
* The Earl of Arundel rank still exists today as a courtesy title held by the Duke of Norfolk's heir; it has existed nearly continuously since it was created in 1138 for a Norman nobleman.
** Warwick got enough political pull on his behalf to survive in captivity; he'd eventually be released when one of his Lords Appellant allies deposed Richard II and made himself King Henry IV … a feat that he accomplished with the aid of our Arundel's younger brother, who also happened to be the Archbishop of Canterbury.

One thought on "1397: Richard FitzAlan, Earl of Arundel"
Monica Watkins says:
26 July, 2021 at 12:28 am
The cruel purge of Richard II's lovers you mean. England was at war with France and all Richard could think about were his boy lovers whom he showered with jewels. He was a typical spoiled brat who thought he was equal to the Virgin Mary, etc. and had himself painted in heaven as it were. However it was the Earls appellant who had to go and fight for the likes of Richard.
He did however get his comeuppance . . . a little late for the Earls appellant.


At MYMCA's M.Y Mentoring programme, we believe that a mentor is someone who builds a relationship with a youth not primarily because of a need to pass on values, but because he or she sees value in the mentee and seeks to believe in him or her. The added blessing is that once a relationship of trust is built, a mentee naturally begins to open up to the mentor and may be influenced by the mentor's perspective of life and values.
To successfully build trust in any relationship, it takes time. Koh Yan En, a mentor who participated in Yuying Secondary School from February to May this year, shared about her experience.
She said, "Sometimes it was disheartening because in the first few weeks, the students were more rowdy and appeared to be disinterested in the programme. But it was heartwarming to see the students slowly opening up to their mentors as the weeks went by."
Through the programme, which reached out to lower secondary school students, mentors like Yan En expressed their belief in their mentee's potential by relating to him or her at a personal level; taking part in similar activities and by providing a safe space to think through responses to challenging situations.
One of the activities involved a series of hypothetical questions where everyone was asked to think about their responses to real-life situations. They were then asked to consider crafting their responses into more positive ones.
Such activities demonstrated clearly how our actions carry consequences and how we are empowered to make right choices for better outcomes. Participants who felt anger towards a situation realised that there were various ways that their anger could be expressed healthily. It was an empowering experience when everyone learnt that they can choose to respond sensibly to life's different circumstances and sometimes, challenging situations.
Yan En said that witnessing how the students developed over the 10 weeks was worthwhile and that it was doubly rewarding to see her mentee embracing some of the values she believes in.
"At the end of the programme, I saw many of the youths step out of their comfort zone to approach people in their neighbourhood (to give out drinks and food). They are encouraged to care for others, and to discover that life does not revolve just around the problems they are facing, but that they too can be solutions to problems," she said.
Another mentor, Tan Qi Guang said the experience was fulfilling. "I witnessed my mentee change from someone who was initially reluctant to attend the programme to someone who now takes the initiative to confidence in me. The trust that he gave to me was something that I never experienced before," he said.
When Qi Guang's mentee told him that he wanted to be an interior designer, Qi Guang gladly gave him some information on courses offered in polytechnics that could support him in achieving his dream.
"I hope that I motivated him to focus on his studies so that in the near future, he can be enrolled in courses that will help him to achieve his ambition and discover his purpose in life," he said.
Through empowering relationships at each M.Y Mentoring programme, mentors like Qi Guang are constantly communicating their tremendous belief for each unique youth's potential and future.
Are you convicted about the potential within youths too?
If so, we welcome you to consider building a relationship with a youth. Join us in engaging and empowering the next generation – so that his or her potential can be unleashed.

Microbes, Diet, and Immunity Dancing Together
It's almost like we took this amazingly rich inner ecosystem and bulldozed it, and replaced it with a cityscape.
Rob Knight Founding Director of the UCSD Center for Microbiome Innovation
Microbes, Diet, and Immunity Dancing Together 47m 44s
Knowledge about the human microbiome, those trillions of bacteria, viruses, and other microbes that inhabit our bodies, is revolutionizing medicine just as mapping the human genome continues to do. Indeed, what we are learning could take us even further because the microbiome can be altered by diet, exercise, and stress control. Computational biology, DNA sequencing, and other analytical techniques are revealing ever more about the microbiome's role at the intersection of health and disease, how it influences the immune system, and the role it plays in medical conditions as varied as autism and cancer, cardiovascular disease and dementia.

Our Obsessions / Star Trek
All the essential 'The Next Generation' episodes before 'Star Trek: Picard'
With the year almost at end, it's time to look forward to the loads of content coming our way in the new year. On the Star Trek end of the nerdiverse, CBS All Access is bringing us plenty of treats in the new year. Love it or hate it, Star Trek: Discovery is coming full-speed with a third season in 2020.
Of course, the more interesting of the CBS Star Trek shows is the indirect sequel to Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Picard. Bringing Patrick Stewart back to his most iconic character, the show takes place 20 years after the last Star Trek theatrical film.
For those who only know the original series, you definitely want to get caught up on the events of Star Trek: The Next Generation. From the trailers, we know a lot of events from the series play directly into this show. But more importantly, you'll get a chance to know what kind of captain Jean-Luc Picard really is (or should be).
We've handpicked the best TNG episodes to give you the best look at Picard, but also shed light on the backstory of why the captain is the way he is in Star Trek: Picard. You'll wanna tune in to these before you watch the new series on January 23rd, 2020. Of course, there's still plenty of creepy and entertaining episodes you should watch too since you're already binging Star Trek: The Next Generation.
"Encounters at Fairpoint" (S1E1 & 2)
Of course, starting at the beginning is always the best plan. While definitely on the weaker side of things, The Next Generation's pilot still gives us a solid idea of who Picard is as a captain. When the USS Enterprise-D ends up at Fairpoint Station, Picard comes face to face with omnipotent being Q (John de Lancie).
Q puts Picard on the spot, making him defend all of humanity. Picard's response makes it clear that he's not Captain Kirk from the original series. He thinks before he acts: a perfect display of Picard's leadership style.
"I Borg" (S5E23)
After Picard was turned into a Borg himself, it's a surprise that he would sympathize with any Borg. Yet in this season five episode, a young Borg soldier (Jonathan Del Arco) finds himself aboard the Enterprise-D and Picard does him a favor.
Picard is given orders to infect him with a virus that will cripple the entire Borg collective. But Picard doesn't want to turn this young soldier into a chemical weapon against his will, and lets Hugh stay aboard and separate from the Borg. Not only is this key for Picard – Hugh is supposed to appear in Star Trek: Picard as well!
"Family" (S4E2)
After the drama of "The Best of Both Worlds", Picard decides he needs to get away from everything in Starfleet. He returns to the family vineyard in France, only to rekindle tension with his brother Robert (Jeremy Kemp). While Picard needs love and support after his horrific encounter with the Borg, all he gets is bitter envy.
Picard finally breaks down in one of the largest displays of emotion we get from Picard throughout the entire show. Picard has always been displayed as a military man, so this is the first glance we get at his upbringing and his family side. Plus, the vineyard is where we meet Picard in Star Trek: Picard, so might as well find out the origins.
"Tapestry" (S6E15)
It's A Wonderful Life, but in Star Trek. After a malfunction with Picard's heart leaves him dead in the medical bay, Q makes a reappearance to let Picard relive his Starfleet Academy days. Picard gets the chance to eschew the fight that landed him with an artificial heart in the first place.
Of course, by the time he comes back to the Enterprise-D, everything has changed. Picard is only a submissive lieutenant! Picard realizes that, although the synthetic organ may be annoying, his heart has helped make him who he is and he can't leave it behind.
This episode gives you a good look into who Picard was back in the day that made him the analytical, inspirational captain we see throughout The Next Generation.
"Best of Both Worlds" (S3E26 & S4E1)
There's been mention of the time Picard was turned into a Borg throughout this article, because if anything defines Picard, this is it. The Borg finally enter Federation space, and to make a large impression, kidnap Picard and turn him into Locutus of Borg.
If you want to know everything about Picard, this is the episode. Picard's character arc can be divided into pre-"Best of Both Worlds" and post-, because the Picard we know from the earlier seasons is gone after this. The scars of this experience affect everything Picard does from this point on, which will definitely play into Star Trek: Picard.
Bonus: Star Trek: Nemesis
This is definitely the worst of The Next Generation theatrical films, but it plays directly into Star Trek: Picard. The new series is set 20 years after the events of this film, so the last adventure of the Enterprise-D crew will definitely be discussed in the new show.
Plus, with movie will clue you in to what happens with Data (Brent Spiner) and why his return in Picard is a such a big deal. If you don't watch it for that, at least do so for a young Tom Hardy.

Q: When to use which trig identity? So I understand that $\sin^2\theta \equiv 1 - \cos^2 \theta$. I am doing homework problems for trigonometric integrals and sometimes they use this formula to put into the equation and sometimes they put $\sin^2{t}=\frac{1}{2}(1-\cos{2t})$.
For what situations do I use each one? I believe there is more identities for $\text{sin}$ to go along with these as well. Let me know please.

A: Generally, we use the pythagorean identity when having $\cos$ is better than having $\sin$ and there are more trig functions floating around.  This may be beneficial when

*

*You want to make a u-substitution e.g. $\int\sin^3x\ dx=\int\sin x(1-\cos^2)\ dx$

*Can cancel some terms away using $\sin^2+\cos^2=1$.
Likewise, if $\sin$ is by itself in an integral, you'll want to use the double angle identity.  This usually helps to

*

*Reduce powers e.g. $\int\sin^4x\ dx$

You will notice that for integrals of the form $\int\sin^nx\ dx$, you'll want to apply the pythagorean identity if $n$ is odd to create a u-substitution scenario and if $n$ is even, you'll want to use the power reducing double angle identity repeatedly until all exponents are odd.  Then apply the pythagorean.

A: My answer will stress the importance of the second of these formulas dealing with angle doubling or halving. I wish that you have already seen matrices, a fundamental tool for dealing with geometry in general and trigonometry in particular.
It is true to say that formulas
$$\tag{1}\cos^2{t}=\frac{1}{2}(1+\cos{2t}) \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{and}  \ \ \ \ \ \  \ \ \sin^2{t}=\frac{1}{2}(1-\cos{2t})$$
and their sister formulas:
$$\tag{2}\cos(2t)=\begin{cases}2\cos^2(t)-1\\1-2\sin^2(t)\\ \cos^2(t)-\sin^2(t)\end{cases}   \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{and}  \ \ \ \ \ \  \ \ \sin(2t)=2 \sin(t) \cos(t)$$
are, among, say, a dozen or two dozen trigonometric formulas, the most used, just because they involve doubling/halving of angles, an operation that is very often encountered.

*

*in Physics, for example in Optics.

*in Mathematics, let us take 2 examples in plane geometry (among many):
A) the matrix of the (orthogonal) symmetry with respect to line $y=\tan(t)x$ is:
$$\tag{*}S_t=\pmatrix{\cos(2t)& \ \ \sin(2t)\\\sin(2t)&-\cos(2t)}$$
(one can verify that $S_t$ an orthogonal matrix with $\det(S_t)=-1.$)
What is the interest of formula (*) ?
For example showing that the composition of two symmetries: $S_t$ followed by $S_{t'}$ is a rotation $R_{\alpha}$ with angle $\alpha = 2(t'-t)$, the double of the angle between the two axes of symmetry; almost instantaneous proof:
$$\tag{**}S_{t'}S_{t}=\pmatrix{\cos(2t')& \ \ \sin(2t')\\\sin(2t')&-\cos(2t')}\pmatrix{\cos(2t)& \ \ \sin(2t)\\\sin(2t)&-\cos(2t)}=\pmatrix{\cos(\alpha)& \ \ -\sin(\alpha)\\ \sin(\alpha)&\ \ \ \ \ \cos(\alpha)}$$
B) the reduction of conics.
Let us look for the change of variables that will transform the quadratic form
$$\tag{3}Ax^2+2Bxy+Cy^2  \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{into}  \ \ \ \ \ \  \ \ A'X^2\pm B'Y^2$$
(having no longer a "rectangle term").
Let us take the following change of variables, which amounts to a rotation $R_t$:
$$\tag{4}\binom{x}{y}=\pmatrix{\cos(t)& \ \ -\sin(t)\\\sin(t)&\ \ \ \  \ \cos(t)}\binom{X}{Y} \ \ \ \iff \ \ \ \begin{cases}x=X \cos(t) - Y \sin(t)\\y=X \sin(t) + Y \cos(t) \end{cases}.$$
(with unknown $t$). Plugging (4) into (3) gives
$$A(X \cos(t) - Y \sin(t))^2+2B(X \cos(t) - Y \sin(t))(X \sin(t) + Y \cos(t))+C(X \sin(t) + Y \cos(t))^2 $$
$$=\left(...\right) \,X^2 +
  \left( 2B(\cos^2(t)-\sin^2(t))-(A-C)2cos(t)\sin(t)
     \right) \,X\,Y +  \left( ...
     \right) \,Y^2$$
(where the dotted coefficients are unimportant at this step).
Suppressing "rectangle" term $XY$ amounts to find $t$ such that
$$ 2B(\cos^2(t)-\sin^2(t))-(A-C)2cos(t)\sin(t)=0$$
Expression that can be transformed into:
$$ 2B\cos(2t)-(A-C)\sin(2t)=0  \ \ \ \iff \ \ \ \tan(2t)=\dfrac{2B}{A-C}$$

$$\iff \ \ \ t=\frac12 atan\left(\dfrac{2B}{A-C}\right)\pm \frac{\pi}{2}$$

It has been possible to find this "unique" value of $t$ thanks to formulas (2)!

2003-4 ITA 2003 Winter Update
Dateline: December 10, 2003
Happy holidays, scR fans and followers. It's that time of year where the race cars are put into hibernation, the snow begins to fall, and the plans for 2004 are formulated. James' strong 5th place finish at Mid-Ohio in October (Mark and John were unable to attend in the #21 and #55 cars respectively) put an end to a season-long string of consistent finishes that the team will carry into the coming year. At least part of the team, that is…
A change of direction
There is some very happy news and some very sad news to report from the scR camp this month. First, the good news: Team founder and leader, James Walker, Jr. and his wife Dana are expecting their second child in April. Their first child, Zack, has brought great joy into their lives. And we certainly expect more of the same with blessing number two. We all wish the best for the Walker family as the number of seats at their dining room table expands.
Now for the sad news: Running a race team is an extremely time and resource intensive effort. Raising a family is also a very time and resource intensive effort. When race team requirements are added to family requirements, the Walker family is left with a deficit. Thus, the decision has been reluctantly made by James to sell his race-winning #34 1992 SC ITA racecar, effective immediately.
James plans to continue racing with karts – particularly with an eye toward getting Zack started in the sport as soon as he is old enough. But for now, his SCCA days will probably be limited to a few rental weekends just to keep his license current. That, or he will be begging and pleading with Mark and John to let him share their cars…
With certainty, Mark and John will miss sharing the track with James; however, his absence also opens the door of opportunity for them. As John has pointed out tongue-in-cheek, James always runs near the front at every race, making it more likely that John or Mark may inherit his position.
Now for sale…
As for the car itself, the sale and liquidation of the #34 (and available spare parts) will be a turn-key race-winning operation for the lucky buyer who ends up with it. James' red #34 racecar is one of the best-built ITA cars in the entire country – and is probably the best example of racecar building and preparation in the entire Saturn motorsport community. It features only the best top-quality components including many custom designed and fabricated solutions.
James estimates that the cost to duplicate the #34 car would exceed $35,000.00. Fortunately, he is asking much, much less. For more details about the #34 car (including about 35 color photos,) please visit https://teamscr.com/forsale.htm or email James. After all, it's not too late to pick up a last-minute gift for someone special on your list 🙂
For now, Mark Rushbrook and John Comeskey plan to continue to race under the scR banner in 2004. Be sure to catch the latest news, schedule changes, race recaps, and photo and video galleries (and maybe even some karting footage?) at the updated scR website located at https://teamscr.com.
Until next year, have a safe and happy holiday season! Go Saturn!!!

Q: Any concerns about this iOS approach to responding to a long-running, async web call? I wrote a PHP function that sleeps 6 seconds (on purpose) to simulate my server taking a long time to respond back to my Swift app. I wanted to gracefully handle this in Swift and this is what I came up with. Any thoughts or concerns about this? Could it be improved upon?
Th function connects with a service I wrote called ContentWebService - this makes an async post to the server, and then responds accordingly. When you click the button, I disable it and make it say 'loading' (this is a proof of concept i'll use localized strings later) but basically I want to prevent the user from clicking it again (without disabling it, I was able to fire off a dozen requests which I think isn't great).
While the script sleeps / response comes back, you can go through the rest of the app and do your thing, but no matter what wherever you were the message will eventually come back and say it was successful.
Looks good??
@IBAction func btnSlow(sender: UIButton) {

    sender.enabled = false //sender is the button - set disabled as it gets clicked
    sender.setTitle("Loading, please wait..", forState: UIControlState.Normal)

    ContentWebService.SlowFunction()
        { (r) -> () in

            if (r.Status == ResponseCode.SUCCESS) {
                dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue()) {
                    self.presentViewController(AlertCreator.ShowSimplePopup("Done", message: "Completed successfully.."), animated: true, completion: nil)
                    sender.enabled = true //reset back to enabled
                    sender.setTitle("Click for Slow Function", forState: UIControlState.Normal) //restore original text
                }
            }
            else {
                dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue()) {
                    self.presentViewController(AlertCreator.ShowSimplePopup(StringHelper.GetLocalizedString("UnknownError"), message: StringHelper.GetLocalizedString("UnknownErrorMessage")), animated: true, completion: nil)
                    sender.enabled = true //reset back to enabled
                    sender.setTitle("Click for Slow Function", forState: UIControlState.Normal) //restore original text
                }
            }
    }

A: Yes, what you're doing in that code is standard asynchronous callback procedure. My only suggestion is that you should consider some sort of timeout guarantee if you don't have one already.
(Note that it could be reasonable to prevent the user from navigating anywhere if you need to. You could turn off the interface's responsiveness to taps before the call to  ContentWebService.SlowFunction and turn it back on when you're called back in the anonymous completion function.)

The Single Family House Rhizom / Das Einfamilienhausrhizom
panorama nr. 01 48
nr.02 42
SCULPTURE, SITE-SPECIFIC INSTALLATION
The Single Family House Rhizome was built in a newly developed area of Heinde, a small village close to the city of Hildesheim in Germany. The project was developed in collaboration with local homeowners. From one of the houses in the neighborhood, a 1,80 m tall 'offshoot' grows, and appears on the opposite side of the road. Although this offshoot has its own distinct form, the architectural style and color, as well as the standardized building materials, clearly connect it to the initial family house across the road.
Architecturally, unconnected buildings that are aesthetically linked can appear in functional settings, such as a small above-ground section of an underground technical complex that perhaps at first glance appears disconnected from, but is in fact linked to, a main building built in the same style. In other settings, buildings of similar but disconnected elements can have a more spiritual or purely aesthetic meaning. In many settings throughout Asia, for example, comparable architectonical ensembles can be found at temples, shrines or house altars.
In botany the term rhizome describes the offshoots of a rootstock that establishes new plants in the nearby surroundings of the 'mother plant'. In horticulture, these characteristics are used to clone garden plants like iris or bamboo naturally. At the same time, tenacious weeds, such as couch grass, spread in the same way.
The Single Family House Rhizome uses botanical principles as a metaphorical means to comment on and examine the uses of spatial structures within urban and suburban development strategies. It plays with the possibility that a house could grow right through the local spatial concept of property, as well as intervene in the municipal infrastructure. Almost in the eerie style of a classic horror movie, the seemingly uncontrollable growth of the house-clone questions the standardized individualism that finds its expression in the surrounding family homes.
This permanent work was realized through "LandArbeit," Heinde, Germany, organized by the University of Hildesheim, Summer 2007.

in terms of being kind.
Chogyam Trungpa (1939 - 1987), the brilliant 'bad boy of Buddhism,' fled the invasion of Tibet, studied at Oxford, and shattered Westerners' notions of how an enlightened teacher should behave. He was a Buddhist meditation master and holder of both the Kagyu and Nyingma lineages, scholar, teacher, poet, artist, and originator of a radical re-presentation of Shambhala vision. Recognized both by Tibetan Buddhists and by other spiritual practitioners and scholars as a preeminent teacher of Tibetan Buddhism, he was a major, albeit controversial, figure in the dissemination of Tibetan Buddhism to the West, founding Vajradhatu and Naropa University and establishing the Shambhala Training method.

Q: XQuery XmlSpy delete I'm attempting to delete an XML node through XQuery using the in-build XQuery compiler in Altova XMLSpy.
xquery version "1.0" encoding "UTF-8";
for $customer in doc("Customers.xml")/dataroot/Customers
where $customer/CustomerID = "ALFKI"
return delete node $customer;

The issue is the compiler doesn't see 'delete node' as valid syntax, whereas it's defined here: http://www.w3.org/TR/xquery-update-10/
It complains with an error "Unexpected token node $customer".
Any ideas?

A: the fact is that XMLSpy don't support XQuery Update Facility, hence the delete keyword is not valid

A: Remove the missplaced semicolon after $customer.
xquery version "1.0" encoding "UTF-8";
for $customer in doc("Customers.xml")/dataroot/Customers
where $customer/CustomerID = "ALFKI"
return delete node $customer (: here was the semicolon :)

Otherwise, your XQuery is valid.

An Interview with Hollywood Literary Manager and Film and Television Producer Dr. Kenneth Atchity
iStudioi Interview
Dr. Ken Atchity, Chairman of Atchity Entertainment International, Inc. (AEI), is a self-defined "story merchant," with more than forty years experience in the publishing world, and over fifteen years in the entertainment industry. He is a writer, producer, teacher, and literary manager, responsible for launching dozens of books and films.
Ken looks for great storytellers in order to turn them into bestselling authors and screenwriters, utilizing AEI's The Writer's Lifeline, Inc., which consults with authors in need of a bridge to the professional world, and Finish Line Brand Launch Management, a new division of AEI, which partners with business-minded authors to reach maximum markets in all media.
Known for his "outside the box" thinking, Ken has produced nearly thirty films for his clients and has sold numerous books in all categories, including 15 bestsellers.
Ken's films include Joe Somebody (starring Tim Allen; Fox), Life or Something Like It (starring Angelina Jolie; Fox), The Amityville Horror (NBC), Shadow of Obsession (NBC), The Madam's Family: The Truth About The Canal Street Brothel (CBS), Gospel Hill (Fox), and Hittin' the Bricks.
Films in development include Ripley's Believe-It-Or-Not! starring Jim Carrey, with Chris Columbus ("Narnia") directing (Paramount), Demon Keeper, with Sam Fell ("Flushed Away") directing (Fox), and 3 Men Seeking Monsters, with Mark Steven Johnson ("Ghost Rider") directing (Universal).
Additionally, AEI produces reality shows in partnership with Renegade ("Blind Date"), and has several shows in development for its brand clients. AEI has associate managers in 29 countries, and nearly every state in the U.S.
Ken actively works with his authors to help them maximize revenue from their book royalties and film revenues. Based on his experience with launching Noire, Ripley's, Demon Keeper, The Thrillionaires, and Dracula: The Un-Dead, Ken now provides brand franchising partnership services for selective clients. These services permit the integration, evaluation, and launch of brands in all media to build ongoing multiple pillars of revenue.
In addition, Ken's years of experience as a writer, editor, professor, manager, and producer have allowed him to form a wide network of international relationships and contacts, creating the most productive and positive team approach for his clients.
Ken completed his undergraduate work at Georgetown University (A.B., English/Classics; Winner Virgilian Medal), and his graduate work at Yale (M. Phil., Theater History; Ph.D. Comparative Literature). Ken is a regular at Mark Victor Hansen's Mega Book Marketing University, and speaks at writers conferences throughout the world.
We caught up with Ken in Los Angeles and had an opportunity to speak with him about his fascinating career.
iStudioi: What brought you into the world of literary management?
KJA: When I left the academic world to produce movies, I realized that managing stories and storytellers was my strength. When I discovered literary management, I had found the promised land and my mission: to bring talented writers across the river to their professional destiny.
iStudioi: What types of literary projects do you find most commercially appealing?
KJA: I have a broad range of tastes and a passionate love for all kinds of commercial stories. My number one criterion is excellence and the other number one criterion is the market. A great story with a market—that's what I look for.
iStudioi: What is that makes a great story?
KJA: A great story is a story that moves the reader—to delight, to action, to thought. It has strong characters and a strong beginning, middle, and end.
iStudioi: How can you tell whether a story is best as a book or film?
KJA: Ideally a great story can be both. Then it's just a question of where to begin the marketing process.
iStudioi: What to you tell your emerging manuscript and screenwriters as they begin to prepare that next great book or film project?
KJA: Talk to us first to make sure you don't waste a year or more of your life on something that has no current market.
iStudioi: Are some books better for self-publishing?
KJA: That depends on a number of factors, starting with the author's (a) financial resources and (b) ability to connect with the book's market. If both (a) and (b) are high, then self-publishing (through an established imprint that services entrepreneurial writers) may very well be more lucrative. If (a) and/or (b) are on the low end of the spectrum, then self-publishing is not the best way to go. Aside from that generalization, find a consultant like our Writer's Lifeline company, who can advise you professionally.
iStudioi: Is there a rule for determining whether a film project is more appropriate for a studio as opposed to being produced as an "Indie."
KJA: If a story is original, it's probably not for a major studio. Because of their corporate ownership and the immense cost of their films, studios in the last few years have gone to acquiring stories that have underlying property value—such as Broadway plays, high visibility novels, well-known comic books, etc. The exception is a screenplay that has a major director and/or star firmly attached. All else, in today's filmmaking world, has become "Indie."
iStudioi: Tell us how you envision your representation in the world of literary management.
KJA: We keep an open mind, and an eye on rapidly changing events to allow us to protect our clients' interests. Amid the turmoil of the changing channels of delivery, one thing remains constant in the story marketplace: the worldwide demand for great stories and important information, which makes creating and owning intellectual property an even more stable opportunity than owning and developing real estate. We feel that the important thing for authors is to pursue the right strategy, so the tactics will fall into place to make it all happen.

One of the goals of starting a new business is to create profit out of it. It may be difficult to make it break even from day one, but with the right strategy and proper planning you can get a good head start. To make this possible, we believe that you need to take four steps in your strategy to help ensure that you are getting compensation for your hard work: setting measurable goals, defining your minimum value proposition, crafting a business plan and knowing your numbers.
1. Set milestones for your business.
Goals are defined as targets that one wishes to achieve while milestones are actions and achievements to make progress towards goals. To set your business' goals, you must first decide what resources you need to get started. Once you've listed them down, split them into categories then decide on which ones to prioritize. From there, you can decide on short term and long term goals, strategies on how to achieve them and time frames as to when they should be achieved.
These written objectives are your milestones: sales goals, profits and numbers of followers on social media to name a few. Milestones act as indicators of how you are doing as a business and will let you know which strategies to change or keep. With numbers, you can easily identify if your strategy is working or not and make changes to help you grow.
2. Build something that works now.
Most would think that an MVP is a tangible product but it's not. In fact, it's a process that's being used intelligently today in the form of crowdfunding platforms like Kickstarter and Indiegogo where an idea or a prototype is being sold before it is produced. This "build-measure-learn" feedback loop is a smart way to test your products' viability and lets you learn about your customers, your market and your strategies in the fastest way possible.
To simplify, what you need to do is figure out a problem that needs to be solved, identify who will benefit from it and develop a product or a prototype as a solution to the problem. Set a price for your services and focus on the value it will bring to those who will purchase it.
Creating a business plan doesn't have to be complicated. It answers a few questions about what your business is about, who your clients will be and what solution you plan to offer that will solve a problem they have. But simple does not equate easy, because your business plan should be well thought of, well researched and well-designed.
When done right, your business plan can become a tool you can use for marketing, for getting new opportunities and even attracting the right people that your team needs. For an in depth discussion of what a business plan is and how to create a business model for your idea, join us on November 10 and 12 and sign up here.
Numbers don't lie. It gives you an accurate view of how your business is doing. To do this, you must have a basic understanding of cash flow and manage your finances for you to get a clear vision of your profits and losses. Key performance indicators (KPIs) will help you determine your business' growth over time like conversions, sign ups and sales digits. Understanding these digits will help you evaluate your strategies and increase the chances of your business' survival.
Learn more about how you can simplify balance sheets for your business with one of our upcoming workshops, Business Planning 101: Simplifying Numbershappening on December 1 and 3. Click on the link for the details.

Q: Creating mutliple connector lines from point to nearby lines I need to create multiple connector lines from a suburb centroid point to closest two or three road lines in arcmap.
How can I go about this?

A: Assuming you have an Advanced license, you can do the following:

*

*Dissolve your roads by road name with the line ends option if they split at each intersection to avoid joining to a road more than once.

*Use the Generate Near Table tool with the location option to get the X and Y coordinates from the points to the nearest location on all the dissolved road features that fall within a specified distance of your centroids.

*Use the XY to Lines tool to use the coordinate fields in the table to create a lines feature class.

If you do not have an Advanced License, you should use Linear Referenced routes.

*

*Create the routes using the Create Routes tool from your network to make routes with measures.  You should be able to use the Street name as the Route ID, but use the gap option in case there are multiple roads with same name.

*Add a pair of double fields called FROM_X and FROM_Y to the centroids and calculate them with the Geometry Calculator.

*Add a pair of double fields called TO_X and TO_Y to the centroids and leave them blank.

*Use the Locate Features Along Routes tool with the centroids as the input features to get the route ID and measure of the nearest position on each route to the centroids within a specified distance and be sure to use the ALL route locations option and the keep fields option.

*Make a point event layer from the output event table of step 4 without any offset distance so they fall on the routes.

*Export the layer from the table of contents to make a real point layer (for speed of the next step).

*Calculate the TO_X and TO_Y fields of each point using the Geometry Calculator.

*Join the points of step 7 to the event table created in step 4 on the ObjectID field.

*calculate the TO_X and TO_Y fields from the points into the table.

*Break the join.

*Use the XY to Lines tool to use the coordinate fields in the table to create a lines feature class.

Lines may be created that cross outside of blocks, so a clean up process will be needed.  If you have an Advanced license, you can make block polygons from the network using the Features to Polygons tool and find all lines that are fully contained within each block.  Non-rectangular blocks may need special manual corrections, since lines may cross other roads before connecting to some roads within the block.

Lynn Clare is a freelance writer from Denver, Colorado. She is an avid traveler and blogs about her adventures for women who travel solo at www.Womens-Independent-Travel.com. We are delighted to feature her in our blog.
As much as I enjoy traveling with family and friends, there is something very special about traveling solo. You have complete freedom to do whatever you want, whenever you want with no restrictions.
On my first trip to Ireland, I had planned on a group tour, but it was cancelled so I decided to take the trip and just go on my own. It was such a fantastic experience that I couldn't wait to do it again.
Not only is it one of the most beautiful places I've ever been but the people are so warm and welcoming, I immediately felt right at home.Planning was much easier than I expected, I booked my flight and hotels online and rented a car after I arrived. I followed the original itinerary of the tour but going alone gave me the opportunity to explore areas that the tour would not have taken me.
Most of the hotels I stayed at offered food and live music on-site or nearby, so I could enjoy a great evening out without having to drive.
Driving through the countryside, I loved being able to stop along the way for lunch or a cup of tea and not worry about following any set schedule. Your time really is your own when you travel solo, but you don't have to be alone unless you want to.
People are always very interested to hear about your adventure and talk to you about your travels. They are happy to share information about great things to see and do in the area. I have met so many wonderful people on my trips and still stay in touch with many of them.
The joy truly is in the journey when you travel solo!

He was a man of deep prayer – utter simplicity and complete trust in God's goodness. One time he was very sick and two doctors were in his room taking care of him. Suddenly he saw the Blessed Mother before him and he stretched up excitedly to embrace her, exclaiming how beautiful she was. One of the doctors tried to push him back down on the bed thinking he was delirious, but he exclaimed, "Would you not have me embrace my holy Mother who came to visit me?". Then he realised that they did not see her, and embarrassed by his display he hid his head under the sheets.
He had many mystical experiences – healed many that came to him and counselled thousands of others to lead lives of greater holiness. If you desire to follow God with complete abandon and trust, to live your life filled with joy, laughter and love ask Saint Philip to help you. I know he will be happy to do it!

African Dance in Ghana: Contemporary Transformations
In the House of the Interpreter
An evening in 1974 when she was ten years old, Aminatta Forna opened the door to two men, members of the state secret police, come to take her father. A year later he was killed.
The Devil that Danced on the Water is Aminatta's search for the truth of her father's fate, moving and terrifying in turns, always compelling, it traces events leading to the moment of his arrest. And what happened after he was taken away.
Aminatta Forna's luminous memoir is a vivid and passionate account of an African childhood, of an idyll which becomes the stuff of nightmares. As a child she witnessed the upheavals of post-colonial Africa, danger, flight, the bitterness of exile in Britain and the terrible consequences of her dissident father's stand against tyranny.
Mohamed Forna was a man of unimpeachable integrity and great charisma, who quoted Alexander Pope: 'Honour and shame from no condition arise: Act well your part for there the honour lies.' As Sierra Leone faced its future as a fledgling democracy, he was a new star in the political firmament, a man who had been one of the first black students to come to Britain after the war. Already a political firebrand and a stylish dresser, he stole the heart of Aminatta's mother to the dismay of her Scottish Presbyterian parents and returned home, one of those Wole Soyinka has called the 'Renaissance generation.' But as Aminatta Forna shows with compelling clarity, the old Africa was torn apart by the new ways of Western democracy, which gave birth only to dictatorships and corruption of hitherto undreamed of magnitude. It was not long before Mohamed Forna languished in jail as a prisoner of conscience and worse was to follow.
Aminatta's search for the truth that shaped both her childhood and the nation's destiny begins among the country's elite and took her to the heart of rebel territory. Determined to break the silence surrounding her father's fate, she ultimately uncovered a conspiracy that penetrated the highest reaches of government and forced the nations politicians to confront their guilt.
The Devil that Danced on the Water is a book of pain and anger and sorrow, written with tremendous dignity and beautiful precision: a remarkable story of a father, a family, a country and a continent.

To make relevant predictions about observable emission, hydrodynamical simulation codes must employ schemes that account for radiative losses, but the large dimensionality of accurate radiative transfer schemes is often prohibitive. Stamatellos and collaborators introduced a scheme for smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) simulations based on the notion of polytropic pseudo-clouds that uses only local quantities to estimate cooling rates. The computational approach is extremely efficient and works well in cases close to spherical symmetry, such as in star formation problems. Unfortunately, the method, which takes the local gravitational potential as an input, can be inaccurate when applied to non-spherical configurations, limiting its usefulness when studying discs or stellar collisions, among other situations of interest. Here, we introduce the 'pressure scale height method,' which incorporates the fluid pressure scaleheight into the determination of column densities and cooling rates, and show that it produces more accurate results across a wide range of physical scenarios while retaining the computational efficiency of the original method. The tested models include spherical polytropes as well as discs with specified density and temperature profiles. We focus on applying our techniques within an SPH code, although our method can be implemented within any particle-based Lagrangian or grid-based Eulerian hydrodynamic scheme. Our new method may be applied in a broad range of situations, including within the realm of stellar interactions, collisions, and mergers.

Born in Accra, Ghana in 1923, Saka's creative life began with music, as a popular leader of a Highlife band, Highlife is characterized by jazzy horns and multiple guitars. Recorded over 50 years ago the music still has the same propulsive energy as when it was first recorded at New York's Columbia Hall in 1959. Saka Acquaye would not have come to Elektra's attention except for impresario Sol Hurok who toured the band and urged Jac Holzman to record them. The resulting album, Gold Coast Saturday Night, was later re-released by Elektra's fraternal label, Nonesuch. Remaining in the U.S. Saka Acuaye attended the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art and also UCLA, with impressive careers as sculptor, painter and textile designer. He died in 2007.

Q: Git difftool not opening sometimes I have 2 folders (with different code) with git initialized. But when I do
git difftool -t meld

one repo is working fine and asking me if I want to open files in meld to compare. The other one just output everything in the console and didn't execute meld.
Also both .git/config file is the same (except for the url)
Does anyone know why is that?

A: If in one repository you're in conflicted state (check by git status), you need to use mergetool instead, e.g.
git mergetool -t meld

Related: git difftool runs git diff.

A: You may have configured your diff.tool locally instead of globally (inspect the content of .git/config files in both your porjects, and your global ~/.gitconfig file).
To set meld as your global difftool :
git config --global diff.tool meld

A: Is it possible you have configured difftool, but not mergetool, and had a conflict outstanding?
I found similar behaviour, when I had an existing conflict that needed resolving. I think what happened to me was that git was trying to be 'helpful' and launch mergetool when I asked for difftool. I had not set up any mergetool, only difftool. When I manually resolved the conflict with git add, difftool started working again. Very frustrating.

A: Meld will not launch if you are trying to check differences between two git branches, but there are no any actual code differences between them.
If this happened to you, just switch to another branch and try again, or make a small change of code and then try again.
Hope this saves someone's time.

Many people do not know that there are some serious tax credits and implications for designers of public-funded structures. Such buildings include schools, city halls – anything paid for with public monies.
I urge architects and designers to review Section 179-D of the tax code. You as a designer can get a tax rebate of up to a $1.80 per square foot when you design these publicly financed buildings.
The rebate is also available for privately financed buildings, but that becomes a tiny bit more complex. You must establish a program showing how you will share that money, either with the owner, the contractor or the designer.
Essentially, the code allows 60¢ sf for energy-efficient lighting, 60¢ sf for energy-efficient HVAC and 60¢ sf for the structure, per square foot. This money is an incentive for you, the architect or designer, to create more energy-efficient buildings.
The Monolithic Dome automatically becomes the key!
It is far more energy efficient than any other structure currently available. Using a Monolithic Dome is a no-brainer! It will automatically help you qualify for the greatest tax rebate.
In fact, it is imperative that when you design a Monolithic Dome building you cut the HVAC by up to 75%. In a Monolithic Dome that 75% is not needed; it will just be wasting your customer's money and increasing his utility bills for the life of the structure.
If you pay attention to the lighting and the HVAC, you will easily qualify your structure.
This is in addition to the fact that the basic dome structure is a tornado shelter. If you pay attention to the openings, you will have a building that qualifies for FEMA help with the funding. Currently that help is 75% in most cases.
Please review Monolithic's website and get familiar with what you need to do to help your customers.
In addition, we suggest you contact a firm such as Engineered Tax Services (801-564-4464). It employs experts such as Heidi Henderson, who can do the paperwork and evaluate your structure to show that you qualify for the rebate.
Heidi is not the only representative who can help you, but she knows about Monolithic Domes and she also knows about the rebates. She represents a very large engineering firm that does nothing but provide the information you need.
We strongly suggest that you consider this not only for the value it gives your customer but for the extra money it can put in your pocket.
September 2008 – Dome School Facility Proposed for Fowler, Kansas
USD225 in Fowler will find out in November whether it can build a futuristic, energy-efficient dome building to serve as a new multi-purpose facility. Voters will decide on November 4th whether to approve a $1.94 million bond issue that would fund construction of a Monolithic Dome structure that would house a computer/technology lab, a new band/vocal room, a new gymnasium, two locker rooms, and a commons/concession area.

Feature: 4th Pasayan Festival evokes more smiles as ever
A feeling of festivity filled the Luneta Park here as people scrambled to pick their share of the fried pasayan or shrimps while it is still hot in the carefully lined-up frying pans.
"This is the usual atmosphere every 10th day of every year since the start of pasayan festival in reverence to the feast of Patron Saint San Nicolas de Tolentino," said Trujillo Pepito of Provincial Agriculture Office and one of the overseers of the event.
He said, a total of 1 ton of pasayan are harvested just for this festival and once cooked, it would be freely given to the spectators as part of the tradition which never fail to evoke smiles in their faces.
"For this year, some 70 groups composed of three persons handled the frying pans that can cook at least 10 kilos of pasayan," he added.
Pepito added that around 700-800 kilos of pasayan are cooked in the event, the rest are given to the street children, inmates and the orphanage.
He said harvesting pasayan is not costly since it is indigenous to the provincial waters and is only a by-product of their main marine products such as crabs, lobsters, and fishes.
In an earlier interview, Gov. Robert Ace Barbers said, pasayan festival that started during the administration of his brother, Robert Lyndon, is aimed at augmenting the income of marginalized local fisher folks in the province.
Meanwhile, Susil Ragas who participated in the festival for the first time said the overwhelming excitement she feels outweighs the intense heat and the laborious stirring of the pasayan she endured. (PIA-Caraga)
