Quilting Adventures: Out of hiding!
I made an attempt to publish a blog post with pictures last Wednesday, but blogger will not allow me to post images. Worse, I cannot even see images from my friend's blog never mind my own. So I'm writing a small post to let you know that I'm still here! Oh, and no spell check either.
I also did a reload of my laptop. The most time consuming part about this task is actually getting my computer to the way I like it. I am a software junky and do have lots of programs to load. I have finally I buttoned up what needed to be installed, so I'm good!
On another note, I have not been at my best health wise. Aside from passing a kidney stone on Friday, my blood pressure is not doing too well. It's gone as low as 80/56, so I get light headed, dizzy etc.... Not much has been going on in the past couple of days. When I went to the Dr on Friday, I was escorted to the emergency room. What an ordeal that turned out to be! Three nurses and 5 needle stabs later, all in an attempt to get an IV access in, they finally decided to call the IV unit. She, Sonia, was able to get a vein by 2:00 p.m. I'm sure I don't need to tell you how black and blue I am from that ordeal. It all ended up being a waste! By 2:45 the emergency Dr came to see me to tell me that my stats had all returned to normal. "Oh, and did I want the IV?" She'd put in medication for my headache of 2 days and my nausiousness. My Dr had requested the IV to help flush things out and up my blood pressure at 10:00 a.m. Well, no sense filling up a valuable emergency bed if I'm okay. So I went home at 3:00 p.m. with a pressure of 107/58.
So, all that to say that I'm behind in blog reading and the sending of the prizes. So I apologize.
I do hope you are all having a wonderful day. I will now leave you to attempt to finish machine quilting a quilt that I am working on.
I am sorry to hear that you have been ill. I hope you will feel better each and every day. Take good care of yourself.
I had been checking. I thought maybe you were very busy with school. I hope you are feeling better. Please rest and take care. hugs.
Dear Carole, sorry to hear this, isn´t there anything that can be done regarding the blood pressure?
I have done the kidney stone ordeal. Just let me say I am sorry that you had to go through that. Does that have anything to do with the blood pressure or is that a whole other issue? Take care of yourself and rest lots. Hugs!!!
I'm so sorry you haven't been well...I've heard that passing a kidney stone is really painful! I hope that's all behind you now...good luck with school!
Wow! A kidney stone - that's why we haven't heard from you! Hope you are feeling stronger and that your exams go well. Take it easy!
Oh Carole- I'm sorry your were so sick. How painful that is. I hope your feeling a bit better today. Hang in there and don't do any quick moves.
I wish you all the best Carole, for your exams and especially for your health. I hope the Drs can find a solution and that you soon can go back to quilting away. Take care.

When Loral O'Hara was a middle-school student in Sugar Land, she would often attend mission debriefs at the Johnson Space Center, eager to see returning astronauts and hear them talk about their time in space.
"I remember one mission in particular which was Eileen Collins' first mission as commander," O'Hara said. "She was the first female mission commander, and I got to come to that debrief and everyone on the crew signed the crew photo."
More than 20 years later, O'Hara stood on stage Friday at the space center and received her silver pin — a tradition dating back to the Mercury 7 astronauts — as one of 13 new astronauts who could step foot on the moon as part of the agency's Artemis program.
It was a homecoming of sorts for O'Hara, 36, who first visited the space center with her second-grade class, delivering tomato plant seeds to be flown on a space shuttle. Her parents, who now live in Brenham, were in the audience, as were her brother and sister. O'Hara reflected on coming full circle.
"I grew up coming to NASA Johnson Space Center and we got to do that science experiment, so it was just kind of always a part of my life," O'Hara said. "I've been saying I wanted to be an astronaut since I was in second grade."
A graduation was held Friday for new astronauts who could be part of a return to the moon. The class of 11 NASA candidates includes Kayla Barron of Richland, Wash.; Zena Cardman of Williamsburg, Va.; Raja Chari of Cedar Falls, Iowa; Matthew Dominick of Wheat Ridge, Colo.; Bob Hines of Harrisburg, Pa.; Warren Hoburg of Pittsburgh, Pa.; Dr. Jonny Kim of Los Angeles, Calif..; Jasmin Moghbeli of Baldwin, N.Y.; Loral O'Hara of Houston, Texas; Dr. Francisco "Frank" Rubio of Miami, Fla.; and Jessica Watkins of Lafayette, Colo. The two Canadian Space Agency candidates are Joshua Kutryk of Beauvallon, Alberta and Jennifer Sidey-Gibbons of Calgary, Alberta.
The class of 11 NASA candidates, as well as two Canadian Space Agency candidates, was winnowed from a record-setting pool of more than 18,000 applicants in 2017. The new graduates may be assigned to missions destined for the International Space Station, the moon and possibly Mars. NASA's goal is to return humans to the moon by 2024, with a crew that includes a female astronaut.
"The title of astronaut has always carried a sense of sweeping excellence," NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine said in his opening remarks at the ceremony. "This excellence is earned every day through a rare combination of meticulous effort. Our graduates today have demonstrated uncommon focus, uncommon commitment and dedication during the last two years of very intense training."
Friday's ceremony was the first public graduation ceremony for astronauts the agency has ever hosted. Sens. John Cornyn and Ted Cruz of Texas were in attendance, as well as several local politicians.
"One of the really fun things about today is seeing each (astronaut) after that journey of two years," Cruz said. "That teamwork I know has been built through a cauldron of incredibly difficult training and adversity, but it's impressive to see how much the team has come together over the course of two years."
Astronaut candidates went through more than two years of basic training to become eligible for spaceflight. The astronauts' training program included spacewalking, robotics, International Space Station systems, T-38 jet proficiency and Russian language. Based at Johnson Space Center, many new astronauts are not assigned to flight for years and do things like backing up other astronauts in orbit at Mission Control and working with international partners at training facilities.
Including the current class, NASA now has 49 active astronauts in its corps. The space agency is also considering plans to open the application process this spring for the next class of astronaut candidates.
The new class of astronauts includes members of every branch of the armed forces as well as civilians with research and engineering backgrounds.
O'Hara, the lone Texan in her astronaut class, has extensive research experience, having been a research engineer at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Woods Hole, Mass., where she worked on the engineering, test and operations of deep-ocean research submarines and robots. She earned a bachelor's degree in aerospace engineering at the University of Kansas and a master's degree in aeronautics and astronautics from Purdue University.
"There's really no one way to get there," O'Hara said. "We've all followed completely different paths, done completely different things, which is one of the cool things about being part of the group: We get to learn from each other and go through this experience together and learn to speak each other's languages."
As each astronaut's name was called during the graduation ceremony, a classmate stood and shared information about the graduate. Fellow astronaut Frank Rubio, an Army lieutenant colonel, called O'Hara "incredibly tough."
"She is strong, tough as nails, and she can run any of us into the ground," Rubio said. "Intellectually and physically, she's as good as it gets."
O'Hara's experience working with robotics also equipped her with skills that could be easily transferable to her new career as an astronaut. The robots she worked with function similarly to the International Space Station's mobile servicing system, a robotic system that moves equipment and supplies around the station.
"Just trying to look at a two-dimensional image and figure out where the giant three-dimensional system is and what it's doing is somewhat transferable," she said.
Having plunged into the ocean depths aboard a small, three-person submarine is also a plus. O'Hara designed, built and tested Alvin submarines — manned deep-ocean research subs owned by the Navy and operated by Woods Hole — even taking one out for a sea trial 1 mile deep in the Pacific off the coast of California.
"Just going to sea and being on a research vessel in kind of a confined environment far away from home in tough environmental conditions, working with a small team — and you have a pretty focused goal — and as things break you have to fix them with the resources you have on hand, it's pretty analogous to space flight," O'Hara said.
But even for those with the requisite skill set, the astronaut training program can be grueling. O'Hara said on a typical day she would shuttle from Russian language classes to an airport tarmac to fly a jet, followed by another class on systems engineering.
"You're mentally shifting from totally different subjects and just going straight between them, just kind of juggling all those things in your head," she said.
As for whether she prefers a future mission to the International Space Station or going to the moon, O'Hara said she would be happy with either. She would love to participate in the science experiments during a space station mission but admitted walking on the lunar surface "would be epic."
"I can imagine the feeling of standing on the moon and looking back on the Earth and the perspective that gives, the experience of doing real exploration," she said.

Going beyond a certain number of cores in modern architectures requires an on-chip network more scalable than conventional buses. However, employing an on-chip network in a manycore system (to improve scalability) makes the latencies of the data accesses issued by a core non-uniform. This non-uniformity can play a significant role in shaping the overall application performance. This work presents a novel compiler strategy which involves exposing architecture information to the compiler to enable an optimized computation-to-core mapping. Specifically, we propose a compiler-guided scheme that takes into account the relative positions of (and distances between) cores, last-level caches (LLCs) and memory controllers (MCs) in a manycore system, and generates a mapping of computations to cores with the goal of minimizing the on-chip network traffic. The experimental data collected using a set of 21 multi-threaded applications reveal that, on an average, our approach reduces the on-chip network latency in a 6x6 manycore system by 38.4% in the case of private LLCs, and 43.8% in the case of shared LLCs. These improvements translate to the corresponding execution time improvements of 10.9% and 12.7% for the private LLC and shared LLC based systems, respectively.

How Corn Is Expanding Our Waistlines And Crippling Our Health System
Decadence through simplicity
Photo credit: Eamon Mac Mahon
Michael Pollan said in the Omnivore's Dilemma that if you eat industrially, you are made of corn. In Corporate Knights, "the magazine for clean capitalism", Toby A.A. Heaps picks up on this theme and looks at the causes and effects of corn's dominance, delivering "the skinny on what's expanding our waistlines and crippling our health system" in his article "Killer Kernel".
Food activist Wayne Roberts calls corn "the most subsidized crop in the world, and it has only negative health consequences." Roberts notes that not only is our food system broken, but our health system too: "We have a health care system that doesn't care about food, and a food system that doesn't care about health."
The quantities of corn that we assume are enormous.
As a professor in the Department of Environmental Sciences at University of Virginia, Macko knew the two trillion-plus corn plants grown each year in Iowa--300 for every man, woman and child on the planet--had to be going somewhere. Macko estimates after water, the number one component in humans comes from corn. We're essentially walking corn chips.
The problems that come from such a diet are legion, including diet-related chronic diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and stroke. Yet we keep throwing huge subsidies at corn; The Environmental Working Group pegs U.S. corn subsidies from 1995 to 2009 at us $73 billion, or about $5 billion per year.
The article makes a very clear connection between our health care costs and our agricultural system, which right now are conspiring to either kill us or bankrupt us. Important reading at Corporate Knights.

Brands must consider the cost of potential growth opportunities
Applying the 'locked box analysis' helps entrepreneurs understand the tradeoffs involved in seizing a shot at growth.
Elliot Begoun | Jan 19, 2023
As entrepreneurs, growth is a tempting mistress. It draws us in and causes us to say yes to opportunities when we're actually unsure whether they are the best fit. Our industry expects growth, investors want to see growth and fellow entrepreneurs benchmark against growth.
And yes, building a successful business requires growth—but not at any cost. Growth for the sake of growth is insidious. Falling prey to the tug of the topline can strip a company of its most important commodity: cash.
I don't want to sound as if I am anti-growth. Nor do I want to dissuade entrepreneurs from capitalizing on smart growth opportunities. However, I am going to ask you to look at it differently. If you read my columns regularly, you won't be the least bit surprised by my request.
I want to encourage you to apply the "locked box analysis."
Let me explain. In this business, there aren't simply right or wrong, black or white choices. Instead, as an entrepreneur, you are fed a constant stream of tradeoffs, just like Isaac Newton's third law of motion: for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. By applying the locked box analysis, you can better understand the tradeoffs involved with a potential growth opportunity.
Whenever you say yes to a growth opportunity, you make a cash commitment for inventory, receivables, free-fills, trade, merchandising and more. You also pledge your team's bandwidth to support the new initiative. With these commitments, you place that cash and bandwidth in a box, seal it and put it on a shelf out of reach. You can't use anything inside that box to support other opportunities or business needs. Understanding this reality enables better decision-making.
Let me illustrate. Say a brand has an opportunity to go into 500 new stores. What will this commitment require? The brand will have to do a production run. The co-manufacturer requires a 50% deposit to schedule a run. We'll call that $100,000, and it goes into the box. The products are six months away from being on the shelf, yet that money is no longer available to the business.
As the brand gets closer to launch, they produce and pay for the balance for the run, placing another $100,000 into the box. They finally get the purchase order from the distributor but know that most will go toward the free-fill. They engage a merchandising team for $80,000, which also goes into the box. They ask their social media and sales teams to be laser-focused to ensure a successful outcome. That available bandwidth also goes into the box.
Quick math shows us that the brand now has $280,000 locked in a box that they can't access for any other business need. They have also placed a significant amount of their social media and sales teams' productivity in that same box.
As a business leader, you need to recognize what you are putting into the box with each new opportunity you consider. Then ask the tough questions. In the aforementioned case, how would locking that $280,000 away for a significant period of time impact the many other important things that need to be done to support the business? Would consuming that much of your team's bandwidth affect other critical initiatives?
Looking at each opportunity in this manner will help you better grasp both sides of the equation. It might cement your decision to move forward, or it could justify the need to pass or delay. Without the locked box analysis, growth can be too tempting—and it could lead you down the road to ruin.

About "Time's Up!"
Time's Up Blog Writers
"The Honeymooners" Was No Honeymoon… (When Nostalgia Is Not So Nice)
By Donna R. Gore, M.A. "LadyJustice"
When television was in its infancy in the 1950's, a show never to be missed was "The Honeymooners." Ladyjustice was a young child and recalls the show to this day… However, in comparison to today's "sophistication" and political correctness, this writer wonders how it achieved such popularity. Don't say nostalgia, as if THAT can erase all past evil and chalk it up to, "It was an acceptable form of treatment between couples back then… " When we apply what we know about domestic violence and intimate partner violence today, we should be horrified, shocked and dismayed at the treatment of women in the 1950's and "wife as slave and one to be abused," as portrayed in this classic comedy which all family members laughed at and looked forward to each week!
Yes, Ladyjustice can take a joke…at things that are truly funny… A review of many YouTube episodes revealed some funny stuff between Jackie Gleason and his sidekick, Art Carney. However, the married couple relationship can be viewed as "toxic" as Susan Murphy Milano frequently describes…. In fact Susan probably watched these shows too, as her own father was playing it out in real life each and every day! Such shows give evil people evil ideas….
The character of Ralph Kramden is a know- it- all bus driver, who gets involved in one get rich quick scheme after another who loves to dominate and bully his wife. In fact, it appears that his friendship with best friend Norton is far more "intimate" regarding personal closeness and compatibility than his wife Alice, the begrudging housewife/slave who serves "The Master." Alice Kramden is your typical '50's housewife, BUT, she is no pushover. She frequently stands up to her husband's verbal, physical and psychological abuse. Writers for Wikipedia attempt to "explain away" his bad behavior by saying, "Ralph is very short tempered, frequently resorting to bellowing insults and hollow threats." Well hidden beneath the many layers of bluster, however, is a soft hearted man who loves his wife….and is devoted to his best pal, Ed Norton." How can we be so sure of this, Ladyjustice asks? We have a very insecure male who is barely scraping by to provide a living for his wife…Who is not at all ambitious, with the exception of lifting a fork…. His world revolves around bowling and he doesn't appear to care about bettering his situation in real meaningful ways…. And so, he finds fault with everyone else.
How often has the character of Alice been frustrated, angry, in tears or wanted to run away from her apartment prison? Although we may not have seen blatant physical abuse, there was plenty of physical gesturing/threats, pounding on or throwing inanimate objects, screaming and verbal threats.
Ralph's mother in law constantly reminds him of his weight and that he is a bad provider to her daughter. The character of Alice apparently studied to be a secretary prior to marrying Ralph. According to the storyline, she was one of 12 children with a father who never worked. 'Talk about lost dreams and toxicity for these two characters caught up in the life within a Brooklyn tenement! This series was supposed to mirror the working class of the 1950's and the way Jackie Gleason grew up. But, were the comparatively speaking "innocent 1950's" really so bad? Was the working class so angry?
It appears to LadyJustice, that life in 2012 is a lot more complicated now, with far more sources of anger upon which the evildoers can blame their unacceptable and unlawful behavior….
The Evolution:
Historically, the start of the Honeymooners began as a six minute sketch on the DuMont Television Network and then as one of the featured sketches beginning in 1953 on the Jackie Gleason Show (a variety/comedy hour) moving to the CBS Network. The Gleason show was a rival for the ever popular, "I Love Lucy" show. Several actresses were considered for the Honeymooner's co-staring wife role. However, some were blacklisted during the time of the McCarthy hearings. What an opportunity for Audrey Meadows… She sent Gleason her "wake up in the morning look" in a ripped housecoat when she was considered "too pretty" for the role. What out-of-the-box thinking! Jackie Gleason was paid a whopping $65,000 per episode increased to $70,000 during the second season. Audrey Meadows received $2,000 per week.
The other two characters of the Honeymooners, included Ed Norton and skillfully portrayed by Art Carney and his wife, Trixie portrayed by Joyce Randolph, a relatively minor role. Ed Norton was your "average Joe" working in the New York City sewer system. He was goofy, yet affable and loyal to a fault to his friend, Ralph. Although his character supposedly went to typing school, "he didn't like contained spaces." He was proud to describe his job as, "A sub-supervisor in the subdivision of the department of sub-terranian sanitation. I just keep things moving."
Trixie's character was Alice's best friend. She has a rather nebulous persona. However, written accounts say she used to be a burlesque dancer (which she denied).
Back to Intimate Partner Violence…
Ladyjustice reviewed about a dozen episodes of the Honeymooners on YouTube. Although the viewer can make the case that Alice was very capable of "giving it back to Ralph" with biting sarcasm, what would be the consequence if she had not stood up for herself? 'Perhaps even worse… Would Ralph eventually follow through with his gesture "to the Moon" and make contact? You betcha!
On the other hand, being submissive and following an intimate partner's demands to the letter in no way shape or form guarantees safety! So what's a woman to do??? Anger and jealousy over "perceived infractions" will often continue to fuel the partner's behavior. Alice does not have to do anything wrong in the eyes of the world. What Ralph perceives and does is what matters in the end with such toxic relationships.
A Few Examples of Ralph's Verbal Abuse from Episodes of "The Honeymooners"
"Alice, you're a riot…. I'd like to... (Waving fist); Boys and Girls Together episode;
"Just be careful Alice, Be careful… The life you save may be your own"; A Women's Work is Never Done episode;
"Oh Boy, are you 'gonna get yours… Just once… Pow" Peacemaker episode;
(Talking about not washing his bowling shirt or darning his socks) "… I'm gonna put in a new system right now. When I come home, if it isn't done the way I say, you get one demerit. Do you know what happens to you when you get ten demerits…? A Woman's Work is Never Done episode
Examples of Abuse Noted in Ralph's Behaviors (From Susan Murphy Milano Time's Up Book)
• You are constantly told that you are crazy, that you need a psychiatrist; they threaten to have you committed. They tell your children that you are crazy and make them believe that they are not safe with you. They hide personal items in an attempt to convince you or others that, "you are losing it."
• They intentionally say things to embarrass you in front of others. They make remarks about your appearance or belittle you. They talk over you if you are engaged in conversation, or consistently contradict you in an effort to discredit you, or make you feel stupid.
• They ignore you when you have "been bad", or do not do as you are told. They act like you are not in the room. You are made to feel that you are invisible.
• They withhold praise or affection. They make you feel that you're mere presence disgusts them, that you are unattractive, and unworthy of them or anyone else.
• You are made to feel worthless, no good, and stupid. You are told you're your opinions do not count, that you couldn't possibly have anything to say that anyone would want to hear.
• They accuse you of having affairs, lying, or conspiring against them.
• They use "those looks" or the inflection in their voice to illicit fear.
• They disregard your personal space, or use posturing techniques to intensify your fear, therefore making it easier for them to exert their authority over you.
• They destroy, or threaten to destroy your property; especially items that they feel have sentimental value to you.
• They find fault in your friends and family and may even attempt to sabotage these relationships to further isolate you.
• They limit your car activities by refusing to give you money for gas, pay for basic repairs, maintenance and upkeep or restrict your access to transportation.
• They attempt to limit outside activities such as visiting family, getting involved with your children's school, community functions, or attending religious services.
• They dictate when and why you can leave the house, and make you account for your whereabouts at all times.
• Says "you will die" or be killed, "my words", sooner or later, one way or the other you will vanish
• Informs you he knows exactly when where and how you will die
• Makes threats to kill all you (including children) of for causing so much anger to them
• Makes statements such as "If you ever call the police or file for a court order and embarrass me you will die"
• Tells you they will ruin and destroy you if you ever breathe a word to anyone
Is Ralph Kramden an Abuser?
The abuser can be a male or female. The abuser can be sweet, handsome and assuming to everyone, but you.
An abuser knows exactly how to manipulate all types of situations.
An abuser is the most generous and helpful person to the neighbor, your family, and friends. If you tell anyone you are being abused it is not likely you will be believed.
When you are or were dating you thought it was "special" that this person was jealous of anyone who approached. Thinking how lucky you were until you moved in with them or married and the jealously turned into anger and rage, chances are you love this guy with all your heart and yet they still accuse you of having "secret affairs" or relationships with everyone else but, them.
The abuser is very insecure.
The abuser constantly questions your loyalty to them, the children and having a future together.
The abuser is clever at showing sincere intentions, but often has other motives
The abuser hurts or destroys family pets.
Jekyll and Hyde personality, they can be sweet one day and angry and violent the next.
The abuser is clever at showing sincere intentions, but often has other motives.
If you are pregnant, the abuser can become upset with you and angry and may attempt to make you miscarry. Once the child is born you may not be allowed to run and comfort your baby. An abuser expects the same attention and or sexual intimacy prior to the pregnancy.
An abuser may be unusually rough or use measures of discipline far too extreme on your child.
An abuser does not have the ability to love another person, is very critical of others.
An abuser blames you for everything that goes wrong in their lives; their job, outside pressures, whatever it is, you are blamed. Regardless of the situation; it is always your fault.
An abuser denies hurting you, almost acting like it never even happened.
The abuser will make excuses for why they become angry or physically violent.
The abuser blames their drug and alcohol abuse on you or their parents.
The abuser believes in maintaining control over every aspect of their lives to the point of obsession, including monitoring activities of you and or the children.
The Teeter Totter Abuser – remember when you were a child playing at the park?
An Abuser rises you up and brings you down the same way as a teeter totter. One day they are driving you out of their lives saying things like "I have had it", you are "worthless"
"I am leaving" to this is all "your fault" and beating you to "make you behave". The next day they are rising you up high by apologizing, sending you flowers, a card. They may actually cry or beg you not to leave them. They say things like: "I am sorry"; "It will never happen again"; "Don't you understand how much I love you?" They bring you gifts, or suggest a romantic weekend away. Suddenly they act as if they worship the ground you walk on.
Tarzan Abuser- their attitude and behavior is no different than "Me, Tarzan" (as they beat their chest) meaning they are superior to you, they are the "provider." To "You, Jane" follow my lead, do as I say, be their slave, wait on their every desire, you are the invisible less important person in the relationship.
An abuser has an important career in the public, people depend on them for answers, and the abusive person brings this attitude home with them.
Take this seriously… and do not let your kids watch "The Honeymooners."
Parting Comments: Alice/Audrey Meadows: Audrey Meadows was a lot more savvy than Alice. She was the only actor on the series who requested financial compensation- residuals be written into her contract for the viewing of shows over time. In real life she served as Director of the First National Bank of Denver for 11 years – the first woman to hold such a position! She also was instrumental in the design of flight attendant uniforms and customer service policies at Continental Airlines (her late husband's company).
Smart woman!!! She protected her financial interests and was a pioneer career woman too! "Ralph" would have been so jealous!

Sadly the justice system tends to side with these male domestic terrorists and make excuses for their behaviour.
In Ireland- Catholic- married women victims are told by judges in court that women are supposed to know their place and obey- or the court will make them homeless and take the children.
I would never believe this, had I not heard it with my own ears.
Roll on a few years and I meet another victim in UK, whose abuser does all the things you mention above.
The one that stands out is the accusation re victim being insane and his efforts to commit her, because she called police.
He even managed to convince a judge that the 2 psychiatic reports saying the victim was not insane were Fake- now that is serious.
If those on the bench can be institutionally groomed by domestic terrorists, then serious re education is needed.
It got better, when this terrorist threatened to kill her and police did nothing.It is even on tape- yet nothing is being done.
2012 and collective conscious needs a serious awakening to this matter.
First priority is to open these courts to the public and allow the media to report.
Donna R. Gore January 17, 2012 at 7:16 PM
Lady Portia: Thank you so much for the kind words and your insights on the status of intimate partner violence in the UK. The prevailing attitudes sound so medieval!
I feel strongly that the content of Susan Murphy Milano's "Time's Up" book would absolutely apply in the UK. The use of the affidavit and video, I would hope could somehow be recognized by the Crown, even though you may have different hearsay and evidence rules. However, I am not an attorney, and am only "speculating in the wind" on this point. Perhaps an attorney you know or Susan herself could speak to this... I can't stress how important this material is for those abused worldwide! I will share this with her.... Kindly pass on this blog to others if you can! Respectfully, Donna "Ladyjustice"
Susan Murphy Milano January 17, 2012 at 7:45 PM
Lady Portia- the information in the Time's Up applies in your Country. Perhaps if you email me at murphymilano@gmail.com we can discuss this further. Susan
Kay Van Hoesen January 20, 2012 at 11:39 AM
I absolutely agree, many women are beaten down with abusive sarcasm, insults, and threats, and that often leads to physical abuse. Certainly by today's standards, the Honeymooners would be considered completely incorrect. For some reason, back then it worked and it seemed innocent.
I haven't gone back and viewed the old Honeymooners videos, but my perception was always that Alice actually wore the pants in the family. She allowed Ralph to think he was boss. Ralph was actually afraid to let Alice find out about his stupid schemes and often hid things from her because he feared her reaction (at least that's what I remember).
Either way, I agree, not a show for children to watch.

Very good article! We will be linking to this great article on our website. Keep up the good writing.
Ralph's all-bark-and-no-bite act is trumped only by Alice's sarcasm and sharp tongue so it is no contest. Ralph Kramden shouts, but Alice's snide remarks speak far louder.
Sinclair June 1, 2017 at 11:43 AM
Exactly what I was thinking! It's like Rochester on Jack Benny. He may say "sir"and "boss " but there is no doubt Rochester is completely in charge. Alice is in charge. Besides, it's just a TV show, after all.
Ralph's thing was indeed "all bark and no bite." To use his pictures in a discussion of domestic violence is false both to "The Honeymooners" and to real domestic abuse. In the show, Ralph was just a feckless blowhard (and his wife knew it). His pie-in-the-sky plans and schemes always failed miserably -- but humorously -- and in the end he he had to admit to Alice "you're the greatest." Domestic abuse, on the other hand, is serious, not humorous, and doesn't have a happy ending,
mizer doll. January 8, 2015 at 11:36 PM
telling to a wife she's the greatest doesn't mean there's no domestic abuse. the husband can be the nicest person ever and give gifts then beat her and abuse her emotionally, that's why the poor woman's always confused whether leaving him or not, is love or not? they start making excuses "he brought me serenade so he loves me, sometimes he beats me cos he's stressful, but he said I love you and gave me flowers..." honeymooners is not a healthy relationship making threats and talking with sarcasm instead of saying the things as should
So because you believe it's "unhealthy" it's abusive? By that token Lucy and Ricky have an abusive relationship because he treats her like a child and often dexudes to teach her a lesson. They are just old shoes, for crying out loud. I think we should address real live issues rather than made up relationships from 60 -70 years ago!
Well, for one, The Honeymooners was a TV show. It reflects the time it was produced. I, in no way, find that show to promote domestic violence. Ralph was just your average idiot who seemed to be afraid of his wife. From the acting itself,it seems like Alice wouldn't dare take Ralph being physically abusive to her.
You're right, it wasn't politically correct, and that makes it great.
at those times it was very normal the abuse, sadly still it is, maybe it was funny then. I remember I saw an old magazine which taught men to beat women... I'm glad times have change, not so much, but could be worst
Sheila Drummond-Lopez July 27, 2016 at 8:45 PM
"[Kramden] is not at all ambitious, with the exception of lifting a fork…. His world revolves around bowling and he doesn't appear to care about bettering his situation in real meaningful ways."
This is patently false. In fact, many episodes revolve around Kramden trying to better himself, and "bettering himself" almost invariably meant providing a better life for Alice. One episode that springs to mind is the very tender "A Dog's Life," in which Ralph believes he is going to die from arterial monochromia. Realizing, upon attempting to write his will, he has nothing to leave Alice, Ralph sells his story to a magazine and puts the money into an account in Alice's name. Other episodes reveal that Kramden's schemes are more often than not born out of his desire to furnish his beloved wife with furs, fashionable clothes, and, in at least one episode, the removal of a pesky bunion.
While "physical gesturing/threats, pounding on or throwing inanimate objects, screaming and verbal threats" might reasonably scan as 'red flags' in real life, such behavior has long been integral to physical comedy dating back to Shakespeare. I notice you don't mention the wanton physical violence of The Three Stooges, a comedy team who debuted a good quarter century before The Honeymooners aired. Is it because you believe that the actual onscreen depiction of male-on-male violence is unworthy of derision because it's just…funnier?
"…several actresses were considered for the Honeymooner's (sic) co-staring (sic) wife role. However, some were blacklisted during the time of the McCarthy hearings."
Not "some." One: her name was Pert Kelton. Maybe instead of anachronistically criticizing a fictionalized television show from the fifties for not sharing your simpleminded, sanctimonious, and reactionary worldview, you might use your influence to address injustices done by real life people to real life people in real life. How about writing about the treatment of the aforementioned Pert Kelton, as well as countless other actors and actresses, at the hands of the HUAC? Side note: if you did even an itsy-bitsy bit of research beyond glancing at Wikipedia, you'd know that Kelton remained on Gleason's Cavalcade of Stars through the program's final season of the series despite the blacklist, largely due to Gleason's influence, and his noncompliance with Red Scare hysteria.
"[Meadows] sent Gleason her 'wake up in the morning look' in a ripped housecoat when she was considered "too pretty" for the role. What out-of-the-box thinking!"
Your sarcasm, like much of your article, misses the point here. Prior to The Honeymooners, the still-green Meadows was almost exclusively cast in roles befitting a young, attractive woman. You miss an opportunity here to focus on Meadows' resourcefulness here—which might have made a compelling thinkpiece about clever, shrewd women in Cold War Hollywood—instead choosing to myopically view Gleason's rejection of her for the role as an attack on all womanhood. In fact, Gleason's initial rejection of Meadows displays an (admittedly rare) showing of humility on his part: he was well aware who the monster was in this particular beauty and the beast dyad.
Con'd...
"Jackie Gleason was paid a whopping $65,000 per episode increased to $70,000 during the second season. Audrey Meadows received $2,000 per week."
The salary discrepancy you describe was (and is) quite common, with top-billed stars from Carol Burnett all the way up to Ellen DeGeneres frequently making ten times or more what other, equally qualified actors and actresses on the same show make. Lucille Ball, as early as 1968, was reported to be the richest woman in television, having earned an estimated $30 million. Her acting fees in 1966 were $130,172 an episode, which, by your own statistic, more than doubles Gleason's just a decade earlier.
"Ladyjustice reviewed about a dozen episodes of the Honeymooners on YouTube..."
Wow, twelve? By my calculation that totals a whopping 4 hours of The Honeymooners. Given the corpus--the perennially syndicated run known as the "Classic 39," the hundreds of previously "lost episodes," and Honeymooners skits performed by the cast on other programs, your four hours of "research" barely scratches the surface. Then again, surface appears to be your specialty.
It is difficult to believe that this nonsense was written by a person with more than a fifth grade education. Of course you have a right to your opinion, but frankly, I'd be woefully embarrassed to have my name attached to such "scholarship," given the reckless treatment of "facts" here. I hope that whatever institution awarded you your MA will, in the future, reconsider placing their recruitment ads in the Dingbat Gazette.
PS your, grammar, stinks.
Brett January 8, 2017 at 1:40 AM
How does it go from wife beating to talking about him providing for his wife and being ambitious? What do the two have to do with each other? What, if he was more ambitious and provided better for his wife then his abusive behavior would be acceptable?
Picking on the Honeymooners? Alice was Ralph's master and she knew it, that couldn't be clearer in every episode.
I feel sorry for your trauma.

A Cameron ND Filter can dramatically improve your images.
ND Filters act like putting sunglasses on your camera lens reducing light on bright days when it's impossible to open your aperture as much as you want to without overexposing your image. Cameron Variable ND Filters allow you to reduce your aperture by up to 8 stops. What this means is that you can shoot more creatively at the aperture you desire.
ND filters are commonly used to shoot waterfalls. To create dramatic shots like the one above you need to expose for long periods of time so that motion is blurred. On bright days this is impossible without an ND filter. Adding an ND filter allows you to open your aperture wide, so even on bright days, so you can use longer shutter speeds to capture movement.

Procedures for Filing Incorporations
Business Models & Organizational Structure
Incorporations
By Alexis Writing
Role of the Company Officers at Company-Level Leadership
Public Corporation vs. Private Corporation
The Differences Between Incorporation, Corporation & Non-Profit
How to Create Corporation Policies & Procedures
Pre-Tax Limits on Subchapter S Corporations
Filing for incorporation is the basic step to forming a company. A corporate entity becomes a separate entity only after it is incorporated and incorporation gives the business an identity. Incorporation status shows that the state recognizes the business and allows the business to issue stock. Although incorporation procedures vary slightly from one state to another since incorporation of a business entity is a state matter, the process is very similar throughout the U.S.
Incorporation Application
Prepare an incorporation application, available online or through your local secretary of state's office, and file the application with the secretary of state. The information required includes the name of the proposed corporation, its address, its purpose, name and address of an agent who works on behalf of the company, and details about the nature of any company stock. The application has to specify whether the corporation is to be defined as incorporated or as a company, a limited liability corporation, an association, a corporation, a fund, a society, an institute, a foundation, a syndicate or a union. You also need to include details about the proportion of stocks held by the company's directors, and additional information about whether you plan to "go public" or sell stocks to investors.
Filing Articles of Incorporation
You also must file the articles of incorporation at the office of the secretary of state. The articles of the corporation are the formal legal requests to incorporate. They can be prepared by an attorney (and usually should be) although you can also purchase do-it-yourself kits over the Internet or in bookstores. Once the articles of incorporation are received, the secretary of state issues a formal declaration or charter that lists the character of the entity that is seeking incorporation. This document typically spells out the powers and restrictions of the corporation.
The secretary of state's office charges a fee for incorporation. Although these are different from one state to another, fees are usually around $1 for every $1,000 of the total authorized capital, which is defined as the number of the company's shares multiplied by its par value. Your domicile or residency in the state of incorporation is not mandatory, which means you need not be a resident of the state in which the incorporation is being sought.

The HTC Dot View II smartphone case adds the final design touch to the HTC One X9, fully enabling the beauty of this phone to shine through.

Q: Div Size Automatically size of content I am trying to make a h2 header for sidebar widgets but I want the width of the div class to be whatever width the content becomes. It seems I can't just set a width because those headlines with longer content then shorter content makes it break.
How can I simply make width stretch/change depending on the length of content there is? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

A: If you are coming here, there is high chance width: min-content or width: max-content can fix your problem. This can force an element to use the smallest or largest space the browser could choose…
This is the modern solution. Here is a small tutorial for that.
There is also fit-content, which often works like min-content, but is more flexible. (But also has worse browser support.)
This is a quite new feature and some browsers do not support it yet, but browser support is growing. See the current browser status here.

A: I faced the same issue and I resolved it by using: max-width: fit-content;

A: The best way to do this is to set display: inline;. Note, however, that in inline display, you lose access to some layout properties, such as manual height and vertical margins, but this doesn't appear to be a problem for your page.

A: The easiest is:
width: fit-content;

A: If display: inline; isn't working, try out display: inline-block;. :)

A: As far as I know, display: inline-block is what you probably need. That will make it seem like it's sort of inline but still allow you to use things like margins and such.

A: width: -moz-fit-content;
              width: fit-content;

Killing Our Children: Lawsuits and Loaded Guns
Posted on: February 5th, 2015 by Richard Cuthbert
If fewer gun owners left their guns loaded and accessible, fewer children would die.
Irresponsible adults continue to leave loaded and unlocked guns within easy access of children. About one third of American children live in homes with firearms, and of these households, 43 percent contain at least one unlocked firearm![1] In all, more than two million American children live in homes with unsecured guns — and 1.7 million live in homes with guns that are both loaded and unlocked.[2]
Leaving unsecured firearms within easy access of a child is a crime and can lead to civil lawsuits to recover money damages for resulting injuries and/or death.
You may have heard the latest high profile child shooting to make the rounds on the internet — A 2-year-old boy reached into his mom's purse while shopping at Walmart, found a loaded pistol, pulled the trigger, and shot and killed his mother. — "Toddler reaches into purse and gun goes off, killing mom."[3]
When adults leave loaded weapons around kids, bad things happen. Take a look at a few of the headlines from our community:
Amelia, January 14, 2104– "Amelia couple whose 10-year-old son accidentally shot his brother has pleaded no contest"
Chesterfield, January 13, 2015– "Va. man charged after son accidentally shot by another child"
Chesterfield, December 4, 2009– "A man has been charged with recklessly leaving a loaded, unsecured firearm . . . accidental shooting incident during which a three-year-old shot herself in the hand"
Henrico, January 26, 2009– "A two-year-old boy was taken to VCU Medical Center yesterday with a gunshot wound"
Hopewell, June 9, 2014– "3-year-old boy shoots twin brother"
Richmond, January 13, 2015– "Richmond father charged after 5 year-old son accidently shot and killed another child with father's pistol"
Richmond, January 16, 2013– "A Richmond man who was shot accidentally by a 4-year-old boy has died of his wound"
From December 2012 to December 2013, at least 100 children were killed in unintentional shootings.[4]
Between November 11, 2103 and January 1, 2014 (less than 2 months) 23 children were accidently shot.[5]
Federal data from the Centers for Disease Control indicate that between 2007 and 2011, an average of 62 children age 14 and under died each year in unintentional shootings. [6]
About two-thirds of these unintended deaths – 65 percent – took place in a home or vehicle that belonged to the victim's family, most often with guns that were legally owned but not secured.[7]
More than two-thirds of these tragedies could have been avoided if gun owners had stored their guns responsibly and prevented children from accessing them.[8]
Virginia Law:
Virginia Code § 18.2-56.2. Allowing access to firearms by children; penalty.
It shall be unlawful for any person to recklessly leave a loaded, unsecured firearm in such a manner as to endanger the life or limb of any child under the age of fourteen. Any person violating the provisions of this subsection shall be guilty of a Class 3 misdemeanor.
It shall be unlawful for any person knowingly to authorize a child under the age of twelve to use a firearm except when the child is under the supervision of an adult. Any person violating this subsection shall be guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor. For purposes of this subsection, "adult" shall mean a parent, guardian, person standing in loco parentis to the child or a person twenty-one years or over who has the permission of the parent, guardian, or person standing in loco parentis to supervise the child in the use of a firearm.
Virginia Code § 18.2-371.1. Abuse and neglect of children; penalty; abandoned infant.
Any parent, guardian, or other person responsible for the care of a child under the age of 18 who by willful act or omission or refusal to provide any necessary care for the child's health causes or permits serious injury to the life or health of such child shall be guilty of a Class 4 felony. For purposes of this subsection, "serious injury" shall include but not be limited to (i) disfigurement, (ii) a fracture, (iii) a severe burn or laceration, (iv) mutilation, (v) maiming, (vi) forced ingestion of dangerous substances, or (vii) life-threatening internal injuries.
Court Cases:
Wright v. Commonwealth, No. 0558-10-2, 2011 WL 4770807, at *1 (Va. Ct. App. Oct. 11, 2011):
Defendant owned a handgun, which she had stored in a locked gun cabinet when she lived at her old residence. However, she was in the process of moving and had not yet had an opportunity to move her gun cabinet to her new residence. Instead, the defendant stored the handgun in a gym bag that she placed on the floor of her bedroom closet. Her 10 year-old son found the gun and shot and killed his 5-year-old sister while mom was at work. The Supreme Court of Virginia upheld the mom's conviction for Felony Child Neglect.
(Although not discussed in the above opinion, the father of the deceased girl had a valid claim against the mother for leaving a loaded handgun within easy access of a child).
How We Can Help:
At Cuthbert Law Offices we have handled accidental gun deaths due to the negligence of a gun owner. We helped a family in Walnut Hill (Petersburg, Virginia) recover money from a homeowner's insurance policy on account of the death of their son. The son was over at his cousin's house playing. The two young boys found a loaded firearm in a closet. One of the young boys squeezed the trigger, killing our client's child. We sued the home owner for negligence (leaving a loaded weapon within easy access of a child). We ultimately settled the lawsuit out of court for the policy limits of the defendant's homeowner's insurance policy.
It is negligence to leave a loaded weapon within easy access of a child. If you or someone you know was injured in an accidental shooting, give us a call. It may be that we can help the injured victim or the victim's family recover money from a negligent gun owner.
At Cuthbert Law Offices we offer free consultations and are available 24 hours a day for emergencies. Call us: (804) 733-3100.

Tiles often are installed with an adhesive.
A "glued-down" floor refers to flooring installed on a concrete or plywood subfloor with adhesive. Vinyl tiles and sheet vinyl, as well as some types of hardwood and carpet, are installed using an adhesive. Remove the flooring with a floor-scraping tool. For large rooms, a walk-behind power scraper works best; in smaller rooms, use a hand-held scraper fitted with a sharp blade. In bathrooms, the job starts with removing the toilet. In all rooms, you must remove the baseboard, take the doors off the hinges and take off any edging at the doorways.
Start at a doorway or other location where the edge of the flooring is accessible. Using a hammer, drive the tip of a wood chisel between the flooring and subfloor to loosen the edge of the flooring.
Remove the flooring with a hand-held floor scraper after putting on work gloves. Insert the blade of the scraper under the loosened edge of the flooring and lift up on the handle. Pull up on the edge of the flooring by hand and remove the section of material.
Continue to loosen and remove the flooring with the scraper and by hand. Typically, the backing on vinyl flooring and carpet will separate from the underside of the material, leaving a layer of backing on the subfloor. With hardwood, expect strips of the underside veneer to remain.
Clear away the removed sections and pieces of flooring from the area and deposit them in a trashcan.
Put fresh water in a 5-gallon bucket. Dip a large sponge in the water and ring it over all sections of the floor to moisten the remaining backing and adhesive. Wait 15 minutes to allow the water to loosen the backing and adhesive.
Remove the residual backing and adhesive with the floor scraper. Moisten the entire floor again and remove any remaining adhesive with the scraper.
In most cases, cabinets are installed before the flooring and can remain while you take up the flooring. Remove the cabinets if they were installed atop the flooring.
Do not use solvents or acid to remove flooring adhesive. Contact a flooring contractor if moistening the adhesive with water doesn't help remove it.

The Freedom House report on blasphemy laws gets it right.
[A]n examination of the application of blasphemy laws indicates that they typically give rise to the violation, not the protection, of fundamental human rights.
By definition, these laws, which are designed to protect religious institutions, doctrines, figures, and concepts—in other words, nonhuman entities and ideas—from insult or offense, impose undue restrictions on freedom of expression.
Precisely. Institutions (including corporations), doctrines, figures and concepts do not need protection from insult or offense, and they cannot be given such protection without restricting freedom of expression. Since they do not need the protection, it is a bad and stupid idea to restrict freedom of expression in order to give it to them. Institutions, doctrines, figures, and concepts are just the sorts of things that people need to be able to discuss freely in order to choose among them. A doctrine that can't be dissed is a doctrine that has way too much power.
The irony is that the "religion of peace" should, in principle, be persecuted under the very same law through which it seeks immunity from criticism. Rich.
A doctrine that can't be dissed is a doctrine that has way too much power.
Can we get that on a bumper sticker?:)) *That's* a meme we need to get circulating!
I recently read a comment from David Quinn, the Irish version of Bill Donohue, where he gave his verdict on the recent Irish Blasphemy law. Quinn is a notorious anti-atheist bigot (you might have seen his recent "no atheists in foxholes " piece about God saving the Chilean miners) and yet his opinion on the blasphemy legislation mirrored my own. Basically he said the only push from religious groups for blasphemy laws is coming from fundamentalistic Islam and the law has more to do with protecting Irish trade from the possibility of an Islamic boycott in the eventuality of a situation similar to the Danish cartoons. In other words it is the erosion of the right of free speech in the interest of protecting the profits of big business.
Of all the idiotic laws devised by our species, those on blasphemy are the most flagrantly boneheaded. They're little more than an intellectual form of Prohibition, and are radically antithetical to what philosopher A.C. Grayling labeled "the fundamental civil liberty," free speech.
Another battle we must win.
Do people need protection from offense?
On the other hand, remember the infinite power, knowledge and insight of God. Insults, and not being taken seriously could upset him and he could go berserk.
Unconfirmed reports claim that it has happened before.
The blasphemy laws are rooted in old time communitarianism… if you piss off the god, he's going to make it hell for us. So they feel a 'legitimate' need to suppress.
Amusing anecdote: my father was partly responsible for eradicating the blasphemy laws from the UK, which were still in place until very recently indeed. He takes great pleasure in telling people the pivotal role he played, as a civil servant, in getting rid of that outdated and unnecessary law.
Agreed, in the interests of free speech there must be no privileged ideologies, and since religions are ideologies,blasphemy laws are anti-democratic.

2015 Calendar: Rally Championship travels the nation
The 2015 New Zealand Rally Championship will be contested over six events on the best gravel rally roads across the nation. Photo: Euan Cameron
The 2015 New Zealand Rally Championship is set to be contested over six rounds taking in the best rally roads in the country with announcement this week of the 2015 series calendar. Northland, Otago, Canterbury, Gisborne, Coromandel and Wairarapa will host rounds of the 2015 Rally Championship, providing a challenging and exciting mix of events across the nation.
The opening round of the championship will again be the International Rally of Whangarei over the weekend of 18 – 19 April. The event which doubles as a round of the FIA Asia Pacific Rally will be held over the fast flowing Northland roads that are widely regarded by drivers as among the best gravel roads in the world. Having previously been used during the 1980's, 90's and 2000's by the New Zealand round of the World Rally Championship. The Rally Whangarei organisers are planning to again incorporate new stages to the north of Whangarei used last year, along with retaining the traditional favourites from previous international events including a possible 50 kilometre monster stage on Sunday morning.
The championship heads to the deep south for round two, with Dunedin hosting Rally Otago on May 9-10th. Incorporating the ever popular International Classic Rally, the Dunedin based event is a favourite on the calendar with its mix of public road and forest stages over two legs of competition.
Round three at Queen's Birthday weekend is the Autosport Canterbury Rally based from Christchurch. The Canterbury plains and foothills of the Southern Alps will be the battle ground for competitors in the national championship. Wintry conditions were a feature of the 2014 event with night stages and ice adding to the challenge for the countries best rally drivers.
Gisborne returns to the calendar for the 2015 championship on 27th June. The gravel roads winding through the East Coast farmland gained their tough but rewarding reputation during the 1980's & 90's as part of Rally New Zealand.
Round five is the Gold Rush Rally of Coromandel based from Whitianga on August 22nd. A new addition to the championship in 2014, the event proved popular with competitors and rally fans. Challenging stages in the Coromandel ranges including Castlerock, Tapu-Coroglen and The 309 providing a real contrast to the picturesque coastline of the host venue.
The championship finale will be held on the first weekend in October at Rally Wairarapa. The flowing roads in the rolling hills of the Wairarapa District have been the scene of many a championship duel, and provide a fitting location for the conclusion of the title race.
"The 2015 Championships offers a challenging variety of roads and conditions to test our best rally drivers," commented Championship co-ordinator Simon Bell. "The calendar provides both competitors and fans with arguably the best rally roads in the country and early interest in the 2015 NZRC indicates a number of exciting new cars and drivers will be in action on the stages." Along with the New Zealand Rally Championship travelling the length and breadth of the nation, the championship organisers are promising continued development of their online coverage and Live Video Streaming of events, providing rally fans with ever greater coverage and access to the events as they unfold.
The 2015 Brian Green Property Group New Zealand Rally Championship driven by VINZ is contested over 6 rounds across the nation –
Rally of Whangarei, 18-19 April
Rally of Otago, 9-10 May
Canterbury Rally, 31 May
Rally Gisborne, 27 June
Rally Coromandel, 22 August
Rally Wairarapa, 3 October

The world of esports is constantly evolving. New games emerge, old titles drop off, and new fan bases are created. In our 16 year history, compLexity has always tried to stay ahead of the curve. We strive to diversify our portfolio and represent as many beloved games as possible. We are proud to announce our venture in one of the most exciting new titles - Farming Simulator.
Over the past four years compLexity has had a strong farming presence in other games such as Dota 2 and we are looking forward to yet another installment of farming based strategy. As for our initial #coLFARMilia squad, we are looking to nurture an organic team over time.
Together with Jordan 'CornDaddy' Deaton, we have picked up an experienced gamer, but most importantly an experienced farmer who knows the fields in and out.
We will continue to evaluate the scene and further bolster our roster, but the foundation is set with our Farming Simulator superstar, who will get to work across all fields soon.

Людмила Алексеевна Шевченко  (; род. 13 июля 1945, Канаш, СССР) — советская, украинская артистка цирка (дрессировщица тигров и львов, воздушная гимнастка, акробатка), режиссёр. Народная артистка СССР (1988).

Биография
Родилась 13 июля 1945 года в Канаше (Чувашская АССР, РСФСР).

В 1967 году окончила Государственное училище циркового и эстрадного искусства в Москве по специальности «воздушная гимнастика», в 1985 — Государственный институт театрального искусства имени А. Луначарского (ГИТИС) по специальности «режиссёр цирка и театра» (оба в Москве), затем аспирантуру при ГИТИСе. Кандидат искусствоведения.

В 1967 году была принята на работу в «Союзгосцирк» как артистка-дрессировщица хищных животных.

С 1968 года — артистка-дрессировщица аттракциона «Львицы», затем аттракционов «Львы и львицы», «Львицы и тигры», «Тигры — всадники на лошадях», «18 львов и тигров в одной клетке». Вместе с мужем Владимиром создали аттракцион «Среди хищников» — в выступлении участвуют до десяти хищников, а пара артистов выполняет акробатические трюки и даже танцует, почти не замечая острых когтей и клыков, играя с львицами, как с котятами, выдрессированными согласно новым приёмам дрессуры, разработанным самими Шевченко.

В 1973 году переехали с мужем в Киев.

Гастролировала по городам СССР и за рубежом (Италия, Франция, США, Япония, ГДР, ФРГ, Великобритания, Чехословакия, Румыния и другие страны мира).

С 2010 года — главный режиссёр Национального цирка Украины. После смерти мужа, с октября 2012 года занимает должность генерального директора — художественного руководителя Национального цирка Украины.

Семья
 Муж — Владимир Дмитриевич Шевченко (1946—2012), артист цирка (дрессировщик тигров и львов), режиссёр, с 2007 по 2012 год — генеральный директор — художественный руководитель Национального цирка Украины. Народный артист СССР (1988).

Профессиональные принципы
Приверженец классических цирковых жанров, которые, по её мнению, обязательно должны составлять основу цирковой программы. Это — акробаты, гимнасты, жонглеры, силовые номера, а также — дрессура хищников и мелких животных.

Выступает защитником безболевых, поощрительных методов дрессуры, впервые введенных в практику В. Дуровым. Поощрительный метод подразумевает кормление животного в процессе дрессировки — поощрение едой каждого удачно выполненного трюка, и отвергает любое болевое воздействие и применение физической силы. В номерах под её руководством участвуют только животные, извлеченные из дикой природы минимум в 3-4 поколении.

Награды и звания

 Дипломант Всесоюзного смотра новых произведений циркового искусства, посвященного 100-летию со дня рождения В. И. Ленина (1970)
 Народная артистка Украинской ССР (1979)
