Hands by Kathleen Rollins
Research Tips & Techniques, Writing Historical Fiction, Writing Process
A few weeks ago, Kathleen Rollins contacted me to see if I was interested in reviewing book 3 in a trilogy she has written dealing with very early explorers in the Americas. "Set 14,000 years ago, [the books] follow a group from West Africa that crossed the Atlantic to what is now southern Mexico and a group from the South Pacific that set out to find the edge of the world and found a new world instead. In the latest book, the third in the series, members of the two groups meet." Now doesn't that sound intriguing??
Since I love helping other writers, I suggested to Kathleen that she tell readers a little about her research and what prompted her to write about such a long ago time. Over to you, Kathleen.
"So why did you choose to write a series of novels set 14,000 years ago?" M. K. Tod asked.
The answer begins with a series of handprints.
One summer, a friend and I took a trip out west, ending up in Canyonlands National Park in Utah. A camper we met our first day in the park told us we didn't need to carry a gallon of water each when we were hiking because we could find water in potholes. Based on that questionable advice, we set out on a two-day hike, carrying mostly dehydrated food and about two quarts of water each. Canyonlands is a very beautiful park, but it's amazingly hot and dry in July. The potholes we passed were all empty. By late afternoon, we had no water left and we'd seen no one else along the way to ask about water sources. Finally, we decided to split up (I can only assume we were delusional from heat exhaustion) to look for water. A short while later I was completely lost in a land of red rock, searing heat, and silence.
As I rounded a rock edge, I saw a series of faded handprints on the ledge just above my head. I could have reached up and put mine on top of them. They were exactly the same size as my hands. No other sign of habitation survived nearby. No one had lived in the area since the water table dropped so precipitously the land could no longer support the native communities.
I stared at the prints, feeling as if someone from long ago was talking to me but I didn't understand the words. One hand next to the other, with five fingers spread apart.
Children stick their hands in mud or finger paint and plop them down with satisfaction on clean paper or walls. Of course. We are the ones with five fingers and an opposable thumb. Our hands are our sign. Is that what the hands on the rock were – a sign that people lived there and marked that space as theirs? Or was it a warning like the hand raised in the STOP gesture?
Was it a count? Did the hands mark a family, a clan, a sacred place? The prints yielded no answers.
Eventually, I reconnected with my friend and we did find water in potholes, which I decided was a gift from the ancient people to the crazy visitors. Without concerning ourselves about how sick we might get from drinking this water, we dropped down on all fours like animals, slurped our fill, and filled our bottles. But the handprints stayed on my mind long after the trip was over, and fascination with them has taken me down some interesting and controversial paths ever since.
I had stumbled upon the most universal of ancient rock art signs. Handprints are not the oldest art, but they are the most common form of ancient art, found all over the world. The handprints in El Castillo cave (photo) in Spain are at least 37,300 old, perhaps the work of our Neanderthal relatives.
The handprints we find painted on or scraped into the rock show us that people had a clear sense of self-awareness. The fact that this self-awareness goes back 40,000 years fascinates me.
In some cases, the artists combined positive and negative images, creating some by blowing pigment over the hand and others by painting the hand and pressing it to the stone. When combined in large numbers, these images make a powerful display. The most famous wall of hands is in Cueva de los Manos (Cave of the Hands) in Argentina, where the sheer number of hands creates a sense of formidable solidarity.
But the hands are only the beginning of the mystery of ancient rock art. Recent finds connect some rock art images with star formations and celestial events. The Chaco Canyon illustration (photo, below) combines a hand, a crescent moon, and a giant star, widely thought to represent a super-nova that occurred in 1054. Is the handprint the sign of a human witness to this amazing event?
In Lascaux Cave in France, red dots and handprints were followed later by the famous drawings of horses, aurochs, bison, and lions (photo below). The drawings are sensitive and skillful, showing a clear knowledge of the animals and their power, both physical and spiritual. They're about 32,000 years old.
Rock art in the American Southwest often includes an image believed to be a shaman undergoing transformation, accompanied by spirit guides such as snakes. In this state, the shaman is able to cross from this middle world to the Underworld or Upperworld. When problems arose from imbalance within a person or within a community, it was the shaman's role to correct that imbalance, even when it arose between the living and the dead or between the world of spirits and the world of humans. The ecstatic experience of the shaman, often aided by chanting, drumming, fasting, and using hallucinogenic drugs, is recorded on the rock. These drawings are the work of people who had a complex spiritual understanding of the structure of the world and their place in it.
The thousands of Coso rock art images in California depict not only bighorn sheep, a major game animal, but also a vaguely human figure with concentric circles in its head where the face would be, a rayed headdress, and a patterned body (photo). Dr. Alan Garfinkle has connected these figures with religious belief once held by local tribes that an Animal Master spirit allowed the rebirth of the animals each spring. This figure would be invoked on the rock to provide the new animals the people needed to hunt. Sometimes the Spirit figure would be shown with a basket of seeds (reminiscent of the Kokopelli figure in Anasazi rock art who carries a sack of seeds on his back). The Animal Masters, as Dr. Garfinkle calls them, are often shown without gender, but are occasionally identified as male, as female, or as both.
What started with a line of handprints in the canyon country has led me to a study of rock art around the world. In all cases, I'm astounded by the sophistication of the artists. These are not doodles. They reflect a complicated physical and spiritual world we are only beginning to understand. The Coso pictographs in California were drawn over thousands of years. The last of the series were made when the numbers of bighorn sheep were falling dramatically, perhaps because of the lower water table or because of increased hunting. The last pictographs are all bighorn sheep figures, drawn right on top of the old symbols. Many are very large, up to 7' across. Dr. Garfinkle interprets this as a direct plea to the spirit of the bighorn sheep to feed the people.
It's way too easy to underestimate ancient people. Frequently, fabulous feats of engineering by ancient people are dismissed as mysteries that can never be solved. In some cases, people refuse to believe ancient humans were capable of these feats, so they ascribe the accomplishments to aliens. I believe they were the work of humans – really amazing, brilliant humans.
In the Misfits and Heroes novels, I wanted to show people 14,000 years ago who were just as emotionally complex, inventive, and spiritually inquisitive as any of us.
The first book, Misfits and Heroes: West from Africa follows a group of people from the coast of what is now Senegal across the Atlantic. I chose West Africa because the very earliest identified settlement in the Americas is in northeast Brazil, at a site called Pedra Furada, and the closest place to northeast Brazil is West Africa. (In 2010, a young woman named Katie Spotz rowed a boat from Senegal to the coast of South America, solo, in 70 days, and that included a detour.)
The second book, Past the Last Island, follows a group island-hopping across the South Pacific, starting in what is now Indonesia, traveling through Melanesia and Polynesia, and ending up in the New World. Interestingly, scientists have now found traces of Polynesian DNA in skulls of an extinct indigenous people in Brazil called the Botocudo, who were eradicated by the Portuguese in an attempt to quell dissent. Some scientists feel the infusion of Polynesian DNA may have come from people arriving in South America from the South Pacific. The presence of the Monte Verde site in southern Chile, with human occupation dated to 33,000 years ago, backs up this theory.
The third book in the series, A Meeting of Clans, details the first contact between the two groups.

A Time to Gather is my first instrumental CD. I had written a number of compositions leading up to this recording in various locations on my travels. It was -as the title suggests- time to gather them together. This 11 track CD is strongly melodic and has a relaxed feel with sparse instrumentation throughout. Nothing is overdone and subtlety is the dominant characteristic.
Most of the songs feature nylon string guitar with double bass, steel string guitar and a sprinkling of keys providing the sonic backdrop. The track titled 'Mt Field' was inspired by a summer snow experience in Tasmania during my honeymoon.

Low Animal Spirits by Ami Clarke.
Journal of Visual Art Practice Volume 15, 2016 - Issue 2-3: Headstone to Hard Drive, 26 Jan 2017.
John Maynard Keynes's phrase Low Animal Spirits describes a paradox found in human nature that locates a herd-like mentality, as well as unpredictability and uncertainty, at the core of international finance: a model of mass behavioural procedures. Low Animal Spirits was a work made in collaboration with Richard Cochrane that took its cue from the oft-mentioned loss of the referent in both language and the economy that was speculated about wildly after the economic collapse of 2007/08. It employs a high-frequency trading (HFT) algorithm written by Cochrane (a former Vice President of Goldman Sachs), and 'deals' in words sourced from global news feeds for virtual 'profit', whilst speculating on their usage. The analysis produces new phenomena in the form of speculative headlines tweeted from the twitterbot @LowAnimalSpirit. As various social productions, including news, are increasingly enmeshed within algorithmic procedures, through their production, distribution and reception, it seemed an apt moment to apply an extreme version of algorithmic operation in the form of HFT to global news production. The Associated Press twitter hack of 2013 that brought about a 1% drop in the financial market in 1 minute was displayed during the exhibition as a polished metal graphic: Breaking News – Flash Crash, and generated further investigation into high-speed algorithmic procedures that seemingly conjoin language and the economy. The work developed through procedural experimentation and the following writing traces some of the ideas that came before, after and through the work, often in conversation with others. It is best thought of in terms of a report: a taking stock.

Angela Grojean Breast Cancer Journey
Living in Abundance After Breast Cancer
It was 3 a.m., and Angela Grojean couldn't sleep. As she lay in the darkness of her bedroom, a thought popped into her head, seemingly from nowhere. "For some reason, I just thought, 'I haven't done a breast self-exam for a long time. Maybe I should do that.'" Lying on her back, Angela examined her left breast. All seemed well. Then she examined the right. "And it felt like I had a peanut M&M under my skin," she recalls.
"It was a God moment," says Angela, 44. "I mean, who thinks about doing a breast exam in the middle of the night?" Angela thought the lump was odd but wasn't overly concerned. An annual screening mammogram about 6 months prior indicated no sign of cancer. "I knew I couldn't do anything about it right then, so I went back to sleep," she recalls.
That fateful night was in early November 2018, and on July 14, 2019, Angela and her 4 children attended the Kansas City Royals game at Kauffman Stadium where Angela sat in the Buck O'Neill Legacy Seat as the Breast Cancer Awareness Day at the K honoree. In less than a year, Angela's life took a turn she never expected, ultimately leading her to help others facing some of the same challenges.
A diagnosis and a decision
During her annual physical a couple days later at another healthcare facility, Angela told her primary care physician about the lump. The doctor ordered a diagnostic mammogram, and the results led to a biopsy. On November 13, Angela received the news no one wants to hear: You have cancer.
She was diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma, which forms in the milk ducts and spreads to surrounding breast tissue, requiring a multidisciplinary treatment approach. She decided to meet with Kelsey Larson, MD, a breast surgical oncologist at The University of Kansas Cancer Center, to consider her options.
"We advise patients like Angela if they are candidates for lumpectomy, but they have the option to choose the more extensive surgical approach of mastectomy," explains Dr. Larson. Angela's cancer was stage 1, and lumpectomy was offered as an option, but Angela was reluctant. With a family history of breast cancer, she wanted peace of mind.
"I was scared," Angela says bluntly. "My aunt had a mastectomy and then found cancer in her other breast. I didn't want to go through this ever again." Angela subsequently made a hard decision. "I opted for a double mastectomy and reconstruction," she says. "It was really hard emotionally and physically, but I don't regret it."
Lumpectomy and mastectomy each come with specific pros and cons, but long-term survival statistics are virtually the same, Dr. Larson says. "We require radiation therapy after a lumpectomy, and some women don't want to have that. Also, we tell our patients that lumpectomy doesn't impact the risk of developing a secondary breast cancer, which is only about half a percent per year. Of course, a mastectomy does help reduce the risk of another breast cancer diagnosis down the road. Each patient has to weigh the options and decide what's best for her. We provide information, support and answers."
In addition to Dr. Larson, Angela's treatment team included Anne O'Dea, MD, a medical oncologist specializing in breast cancer, and Satish Ponnuru, MD, a plastic surgeon overseeing Angela's breast reconstruction.
Recovery and discovery
Angela, who lives in Overland Park, had surgery on December 10, 2018. She only hazily recalls the following few days. "I was taking a lot of pain medication, and I couldn't do anything for the first week," she says. Family and close friends, as well as her faith community, flocked to her side, but one of the greatest gifts she remembers from that time was the comfort of her Healing Chair.
Healing Chair is a nonprofit organization that provides mechanical reclining lift chairs at no cost to women recovering from mastectomy. "Who'd have thought a chair could make such a difference?" Angela muses. "I slept in the Healing Chair and used it to help me get up. What an awesome ministry!"
As she rested, Angela's body began to heal. Part of that process involved 4 small tubes draining fluid from her surgical sites into fist-sized rubber bulbs that attach to the external end. The bulbs, which must be emptied periodically, can be hard to hide and a challenge to manage.
"Not only are drains visible, but they can pull on your skin," says Angela, adding that she described to friends the exact type of jacket (with interior pockets) she was looking for. Then a thoughtful friend scoured the Internet and found a zip-front hoodie with inside pockets to hide and support the drains. Angela was more than thankful – she was inspired.
Although she never used social media before, Angela created a blog about her experiences. "I had a feeling that I wasn't the only one suffering, and I wanted to create something to inspire others to live in abundance even during life's trials," she says. She named her blog "Living in Abundance," and it didn't take long for Angela to develop a significant online following. Angela had a platform – and she soon had a plan.
Abundantly paying it forward
"I was going to an appointment with Dr. O'Dea when I noticed other women in the waiting room whose surgical drains were visible," Angela says. "I thought how lucky I was to have my hoodie with the drain pockets, and then I thought, 'Everyone here should have one of these, and there's no reason I can't gift them to women who need them.'"
Angela gathered a few friends together and the small group began sewing "Abundant Pocket Hoodies." To raise money for the hoodies, she designed a T-shirt logo incorporating the word "courage" and the pink breast cancer awareness ribbon and began selling the shirts.
"I made the project into a nonprofit, and we've gifted 34 Abundant Pocket Hoodies to women all over the Kansas City area," she says proudly. T-shirts, which cost $15 plus shipping, and hoodies, available for the cost of shipping only, are available by ordering online at livinginabundanceltd.com.
"Honestly, it's been a hard few months," Angela says. "But in the midst of suffering, you can find blessings. I didn't think I could even breathe at times, but you just put one foot in front of the other."
Dr. Larson anticipates that Angela will be taking steps long into the future. Her prognosis is excellent with a low risk of recurrence," she says. "I'll be following Angela for 5 years, and our breast cancer survivorship team will be here for her indefinitely.
"Angela exhibited grace, positivity and strength throughout her diagnosis and treatment, and now she's reaching out to others through Living in Abundance. She deserved to be honored in the Buck O'Neill Legacy Seat."
As with all treatments, individual patient results vary. It is important to discuss your treatment options with your healthcare provider.

we are proud to be production partners for Homeless Stories and playing a part in helping change perceptions of homelessness.
Homeless Stories is a video project featuring first person accounts of men and women affected by homelessness.
The project was conceived by Glenn Cooper, Senior Director of Business Development at Universal Music and Dave Graham, Founder of Crossfire Agency, who decided to combine their experience of engaging audiences through emotive story-telling to take a different approach at raising awareness of the homelessness epidemic.
The founders of Homeless Stories are looking to humanise the issue by allowing individuals affected by homelessness to tell their own stories.
Each of the videos will be featured across social media and video platforms, but the primary focus will be on Facebook and Instagram. The founders hope that through the power of commenting and sharing on these platforms, new audiences can be engaged on a global level, whilst also helping affect change in local communities.

Their System Doesn't Work for You is a compilation album by punk band Anti-Flag, released in 1998. It was the first album released by the band's label A-F Records.

Background
It is a reprint of the nine Anti-Flag songs available on their split album North America Sucks, plus 10 unreleased tracks. The first 10 songs were recorded during the Die for the Government sessions in the spring of 1996. Only 1000 copies of the split were released originally, and the band was unable to press anymore. As a result, they decided to rerelease the songs themselves due to the overwhelming requests from fans. As an added bonus for the fans, they decided to include rare songs from the band's first shows at WRUW in Cleveland, OH in 1994 and 1995. These are the last songs to feature Andy Flag on vocals and bass, as he left after the release of the split. By the time the album was released, the band had grown to include Chris Head on guitar and Jamie "Cock" Towns on bass.

Song Info
I Can't Stand Being with You attacks the narrator's former friend who has betrayed their ideals and values to become "a pop culture whore". The song was influenced by a quote from Jello Biofra, "You became the one you set out to destroy". The title track is a politically charged track in vein with the band's other works, attacking the people who blindly follow the government and media's rules and advice without being their own person. We've Got His Gun is an anti-gun track written by Andy about a friend who accidentally killed himself with his father's gun. Born to Die describes young kids struggling in bad circumstances. It was apparently seen by some right-wing fans as endorsing suicide, which led Justin to include a note in the album booklet disputing that view and explaining "This song is a statement about the pressures of society...which push many youth to the point of hopelessness."

The Truth attacks the media for their role in the Persian Gulf War, while You'll Scream Tonight additionally attacks the sexism and propaganda on television. The song is one of the more unique songs in Anti-Flag's catalog, being much slower and darker than their other songs during this time. Indie Sux is a joke track that mocks the stereotypes in the Indie, Hardline, and Emo communities. Justin wrote a note explaining that the song "was written in good fun". He went on to explain that the lines about hardline punks were the only serious part of the song, as he did not support the "jock-like" attitudes they had towards people who didn't support them.

Anti-Violent is about artists who mutilate themselves, use steroids, and hit on young girls. The song 20 Years of Hell was an unreleased track recorded during the same sessions as the other songs. Justin described the song as being about his friends going through rough times and struggling. I'm Having a Good Day is another joke track.

Many of the remaining songs were included in two of the band's demos released in 1994 and 1995. I Don't Want to Be Like You is a live version of the same song featured on the band's first split, Rockin With Father Mike. Betty Sue Is Dead was also featured on their first demo, and describes a woman who was killed in 1953 because she was bisexual. A studio version of I'm Feeling Slightly Violent was released on the compilation album, Iron City Punk.

Release
Instead of releasing the album on another label, the band decided to form their own record label to release it, A-F Records. The band would go on to use the label as an opportunity to showcase different Pittsburgh punk bands. The band would also use it to release their next album, A New Kind of Army and various subsequent releases.

CMS Builds on Whole-of-Government COVID-19 Response with Vaccination Education, Offering, and Reporting
As part of the ongoing response to address the COVID-19 pandemic and to improve health care access and reduce the risk of severe illness and death from COVID-19, CMS issued a rule that will ensure long-term care facilities, and residential facilities serving clients with intellectual disabilities, educate and offer the COVID-19 vaccine to residents, clients, and staff. These requirements apply to Long-Term Care (LTC) facilities and Intermediate Care Facilities for Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities (ICFs-IID) and align with existing requirements for influenza and pneumococcal vaccines in LTC facilities.
The rule also requires LTC facilities to report weekly COVID-19 vaccination status data for both residents and staff. The new vaccination reporting requirement will not only assist in monitoring uptake amongst residents and staff but will also aid in identifying facilities that may be in need of additional resources and/or assistance to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic.
"These new requirements reinforce CMS' commitment of ensuring equitable vaccine access for Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries," said Dr. Lee Fleisher, MD, CMS Chief Medical Officer and Director of CMS' Center for Clinical Standards and Quality (CCSQ). "Today's announcement directly aids nursing home residents and people with intellectual or developmental disabilities who have been disproportionately affected by COVID-19. Our goal is to increase COVID-19 vaccine confidence and acceptance among these individuals and the staff who serve them."
To ensure LTC facilities receive support for COVID-19 vaccination efforts, they are now required to report weekly vaccination data of residents and staff to the CDC National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN), the nation's most widely used health care-associated infection tracking system. LTC facilities are already required to report COVID-19 testing, case, and mortality data to the NHSN for residents and staff but have not been required to report vaccination data. As data becomes available, CMS will post facility-specific vaccination status information reported to the NHSN for viewing by facilities, stakeholders, and the public on CMS' COVID-19 Nursing Home Data website.
While this announcement is specific to LTC facilities and ICFs-IID, CMS is also seeking comment on opportunities to expand these policies to help encourage vaccine uptake and access in other congregate care settings, such as psychiatric residential treatment facilities, group homes, and assisted living facilities. By requiring vaccine education and offering within LTC facilities and ICFs-IIDs, CMS is improving health care access and reducing the risk of severe illness and death from COVID-19.
Interim final rule

Pauling reveals Le Breuil plansPosted on Tuesday 19th March 2019 @ 14.49
Trainer Ben Pauling has announced connections are happy for Le Breuil to miss the Randox Health Grand National in April.
The seven-year-old won at the Cheltenham Festival last week after a superb run in the National Hunt Chase.
That victory gave Pauling his second success of the week and fans had been hoping to see Le Breuil compete again at Aintree.
However, Pauling insists a break is on the agenda and the 2020 Grand National is a more realistic target.
"I think he's done enough. He's perfectly well. The Whitbread (Bet 365 Gold Cup) would be the only thing we'd look at, and we'll wait a few weeks to see exactly how he's come out of it, but I think he's done his job for this season," said Pauling.
"He'll be looked after for next season, with the Grand National in mind. He could go back hurdling - something like the West Yorkshire Hurdle at Wetherby might be a starting point.
"He's such a good jumper of a fence, I don't think I need to run too many times. We could look at a National trial, but he's a horse you'd want to get there fresh and well."

Residential Docks | TechniDock, Inc.
This new design from Technidock is targeted directly at residential and light commercial applications. We told our engineers to design one system that works for both waterfront uses.
When they finally stopped insinuating that we were crazy, they came up with a system that does exactly what we asked. The modular design allows us to ship units via UPS, keeping freight costs at a minimum.
The modules can be configured in many different ways to create simple straight runs, "L", "T", or "U" configurations. They can be used as floating docks, freestanding, or pile mounted. Each module is light enough for two people to pick up and carry anywhere they please.
What kind of decking would you like to use?
Our light commercial dock system is available in multiple types of decking including long lasting durable T-Deck, Plastic and Vinyl decking. You pick! Accessories like cleats, colored trim, pile holders, leg holders, rub rail and fancy lighting are readily available. Now did we miss anything? Oh Yes, it is very affordable!

"Thinking of you with Sympathy and Love. Bill and LaRena..."
"Thinking of you with Sympathy and our Love. Bill and LaRena..."


My two sons are crazy about Legos. If you are not familiar with Legos, they are small plastic building blocks that stir a child's imagination. They can be made into a multi-colored wall, a simple house, or, a replica of the Kennedy inauguration complete with the Congressional building, steps, band, flags, and officials. Nevertheless, I'm pretty sure that Lego is Greek for stepping-barefoot-on-a-sharp-object.
This year, their grandparents gave the boys a Lego Advent Calendar. Each day, a new panel is opened which contains Lego pieces that they can use to build a simple object. Day 1 was a police man, day 2 was a dog, day 3 a small lunar rover. I'm hoping that by Christmas, each of these 25 mini-sets will converge into one big scene. At this point it just looks like a picnic on the moon, but we'll see.
Every Sunday in Advent, Episcopalians around the world light another candle on their Advent wreaths. This Sunday, it will be four candles. This tradition started, as far as anyone can tell, in 1839. Johann Wichern devised a flat wreath made from an old wagon wheel. To educate children about Advent and to count up to the birth of Christ, he placed a white candle around the wheel-turned-wreath for each odd day and a red candle for the even days. Children would light one candle per day until Christmas. He took this idea from a 16th century German tradition of making wreaths. It is said that evergreen branches symbolize everlasting life brought through Jesus and the circular shape of the wreath represents God – no beginning or end.
I've been pondering the Advent wheel. God completed the work of salvation with Christ; yet the wheel keeps rolling. I like Advent, but it's not complete until all the candles are lit. And, when they are lit, the wheel turns again for another year. When Christ does return, one of the things I'll miss in our post-Pentecost/pre-2nd coming era, is Advent with the wreath and candles at the center. Or, perhaps, things will be so jolly when he does return that I won't think a thing about it. Maybe when he returns, it will be like taking 25 Lego creations and seeing them in harmony with one another in a scene-yet-seen at this time.
As the Advent calendar winds down to a close, may the light of Christ shine within you.
