With a melted-butter voice and a conversational lyrical style, Lucy Dacus has become the Southern gothic queen of the axis of her hometown of Richmond, Va., and in Nashville, Tenn. (where she recorded her debut, "No Burden," in one 10-hour session). To go with her intimate, chatty style and weary discussions of love, fiduciary fairness and language, there is the quiet fact that Dacus has emerged as a humble gay icon and a distinguished live performer, the latter of which can be seen at her upcoming local shows, May 20 and 21 at Union Transfer.
PGN: What made you use a photo of yourself as a child on the last album?
LD: That picture of me was taken when I was 5. Then, I was a dreadless, guiltless, blindly courageous little thing. I often try to get back to that state of mind. "No Burden" has a lot to do with getting past what you were taught as a kid and becoming who you are. The next record also has to do with moving past the things that hold you back, but it approaches that goal through more difficult subject matter. I want it to communicate hopefulness through peril. We'll see if that works.
PGN: What do you say a year later to the fact that listeners used "Trust" to discuss their own fears of a Trump-totalitarian regime?
LD: Seeing people find comfort in my lyrics around the election was the fulfillment of what I believe music is for at its best. In my darkest moments, I've looked to the writers I admire for the words I can't come up with on my own. To have been that for others is a huge honor. There's one song on the next record that relates specifically to national pride and shame and what I believe my role is as an American. Overall, the album is about deciding how to live hopefully in a world that feels hopeless, which is a daily thought for me these days.
PGN: You stated a love of Agnes Varda and Miranda July, for their honesty and fearlessness as well as containing fear in their work. How do you embrace that going forward?
LD: Not only do Varda and July express deeply comforting perspectives on humanity, they express their thoughts through many mediums — [as] directors, writers, actresses, visual artists. I respect them for their vulnerability — which might as well be a synonym for fearlessness — and for their example of unbridled creativity. I have aspirations beyond music. These women are part of the reason that those dreams are alive; they, through their lives, have shown me it's possible to spin as many plates as you want, as long as you're driven by a persistent message.
PGN: You are rightfully quiet, but not silent, about your sexual identity. With "fame," do you think you can and will open up thusly in a lyrical sense? Or is this yours and yours alone?
LD: I think I don't talk about it much because no one really asks. Plus, it has only been recently that I've felt comfortable identifying as a queer lady. I've only ever been in straight relationships, so externally, my preference has never been under scrutiny. My high-school boyfriend who I dated for five years was very uncomfortable discussing sexuality and was passively unsupportive of my own questioning. For so long, I looked at myself through his lens rather than my own. Luckily, I'm past that. There's one song on the new record where I talk about a female friendship of mine that feels hung in the balance. And one song where I address someone with gender-neutral pronouns, but neither of those things are the focus of either of those songs.
PGN: Do you feel compelled to lift your voice about LGBT issues in the same way you have about wealth-oriented infrastructure, a concern close to your heart?
LD: No matter what the issue is, I never feel like I'm the right person or appropriately qualified to speak because my memory for facts is pretty poor. However, at each of our shows we raise money for local charities, many of which are LGBTQ resources. For example, we're starting a tour with Sylvan Esso and we'll be raising money for the Sylvia Rivera Law Project in New Yrok (https://srlp.org/) and Outright Vermont in Burlington (http://www.outrightvt.org/). I admire and learn from people who voice their support and I greatly respect those who choose to show their support monetarily. Asking for money is oddly taboo, but it is so vital for the groups who are spending all their energy on enacting progress and taking care of the LGBTQ community.

Since 2010, Capitol Lakes, a retirement community in downtown Madison, has used the Go Big Read book for community events and programming. This year was no exception.
Besides organizing talks and presentations on the topics, leading discussion groups, and making sure residents have access to the book, they also promote and provide transport to the author keynote. On October 30, they will show the keynote to residents who couldn't make it on October 16th, and those who want to see it again. Providing access to the author keynote allows residents to participate in the community conversation about the Great Lakes and water conservation.
One of the largest undertakings in support of the program is the creation of lobby display. This gives residents and visitors information about the author, the topic, resources and events. The 2018 display included ships used in the shipping industry, common plastics that pollute the Great Lakes and other bodies of water, and pictures of native and invasive species.
Community involvement is vital to the success of a common-reading program like Go Big Read. We thank Capitol Lakes for their continued support.

Murano Navagero is an ACTV stop on a canal that leads inland from the southeastern corner of Murano, Venice's glassmaking island. (See our 11-page Murano travel guide.) It was under renovation when we took the photo below, but it's back in business.
The waterbus station is served by:
ACTV Lines 2, 4.1, 4.2, 7, 18, N public water buses
For hotels in the vicinity, see our detailed Murano hotel listings. (The closest property to Navagero is the four-room Casa Sulla Laguna guest house.)
Note: This station does not have a ticket booth or vending machine, so here's what to do if you need to board a water bus without a valid ticket or Tourist Travel Card.

text: IC Darth Furio's meditations were interupted by a tremor in the Force. He felt another Dark presence close to his location. He walked to the cockpit and sat to look at the Nav Computer to see his current location. He was above Serenno and knew that was where he would find this Dark presence. He came into the atmosphere of the planet and follwed the Dark Side taint to a hill. He noticed a large statue of the Sith Lord Darth Tyranus. Furio relfected upon this and remembered his studies. He was a student of history and he recalled the feeble efforts of Tyranus and how he was betrayed by his master Darth Sidious to pave the way for his new apprentice Darth Vader. All powerful in their own rights but Furio longed to be even more powerful then they were. This Dark Side power source Furio felt was in a building that the statue was standing on. He landed the Furious Rancor on the landing pad and exited the ship. He walked to the door and felt the Dark Side rage within him. There was great potential here he felt within this place. Furio felt many people were inside, all with varying degrees of Force abilities, none like his own though. Except for one. This was the...female. The presence was female, now this would be very interesting. Furio opened the huge stone doors with the Force and as soon as he walked in he was attacked by two students of the place with lightsabres ignited. He stopped one with the Force and held her there and began to choke the life from the foolish girl, and the other was decapitated by Furio's thrown lightsabre. As he continued to walk ahead his lightsabre returned and then he felt another. This Twi'lek had a stronger presence in the Force, and lit his blade to confront Furio. Furio looked at him and simply said "Move, or you will die." The Twi'lek looked into Furio's now orange and red eyes and simply backed away. "Wise move" he whispered, and Furio passed. He walked to another chamber towards the Dark presence, the female. TAG: Darth Malison

Western Bulldogs defender Shane Biggs will be one of the least-experienced players to take the field against Adelaide but he'll have no trouble adapting to the increased intensity of the elimination final.
Biggs made his AFL debut for Sydney in the last round of the 2013 home-and-away season and held his spot until the Swans were beaten by Fremantle in a fiery preliminary final played in front of a hostile Subiaco crowd.
"I'd played three games and two were finals so it sort of felt like that's just what happened back then," Biggs said.
"But after playing a few more games I know they're hard to get into.
"My first game was against Hawthorn so it was a really high-intensity game, which was a bit of a shock to the system.
"Then the final (against Carlton) was up (another level) again and then the one in Perth against Fremantle was a real wake-up call but I got a lot of experience from it."
Biggs played just three games the following season – in the last three rounds of the season – but was dropped before Sydney embarked on a finals run that ended with a grand final defeat at the hands of the Hawks.
But the 24-year-old Victorian has enjoyed greater success since being traded to the Bulldogs ahead of this season, largely due to the instant connection he formed with the club.
"When I got here there was a really good feel about the place," he said.
"It was out west, I'd never been out here before, and it was like a local club.
"It felt good then and it's obviously feeling pretty good now.
"Everyone's pumped at the club., we're not hiding it, I think we're pretty excited.
"A lot of the boys haven't played in a final and Bevo is all about keeping the excitement up, really riding the wave and enjoying it."

Maintaining your lawn requires you to own and/or hire various different tools. One of the most important tools for keeping your lawn beautiful is a lawn aerator.
When the top layer of your lawn's soil becomes compacted it keeps vital nutrients from reaching the roots of your grass. Water and air are needed by grass in order to grow and remain healthy. Keeping your soil from becoming compacted is crucial to keeping your lawn in beautiful condition. For this, a lawn aerator is used. Keep in mind that these are not cheap pieces of equipment and many home owners simply cannot afford to purchase one outright. However, there are many companies that offer lawn aerators hire so that you can keep your lawn in good condition without having to pay for the actual machine.
A lawn aerator is a machine that creates cavities or small holes in the lawn's surface. This allows the soil to move and to allow air, water and other vital nutrients in. Using a lawn aerator offers many benefits and there are many things that you need to keep in mind regarding hiring a lawn aerator. You should learn first how to properly use the aerator. While it is beneficial to allow nutrients into the roots of your grass you should note that the grass will stimulate the roots to help fill in the holes caused by the aerator. This may make your grass much denser which could in turn result in the need for more frequent mowing.
You will need to determine how often you should enlist lawn aerators hire. This depends on the specific type of grass that you have in your lawn. Different grass types can be aerated at different times of the year. For instance, cooler season grasses should be done in the fall while warmer season grasses need to be done during the summer. Check to see what type of grass you have to determine when you should hire a lawn aerator. You should only use a lawn aerator when the soil in your lawn is a bit moist. If you aerate your lawn when the soil is too dry or too wet then you can cause problems with your grass.
The cost for lawn aerators hire is going to depend on the company where you hire the equipment as well as a few other factors. You should determine how long you feel that you will need to keep the machine to give your lawn the proper treatment. Most companies offer daily and weekly rates for lawn aerators hire. The average cost is around £70 per day for petrol powered lawn aerators. You can likely hire the machine for less than £200 if you choose to keep it for an entire week. Check with the company where you plan to hire the machine to inquire about daily and weekly rates. You should note that powered aerators are going to be a bit higher priced but are much more convenient to use.

The 3 Best Compression Socks For Shin Splints
If you've ever had shin splints, you know the feeling: achy, painful lower legs that flare up when you exercise and take ages to heal. And, because there are few remedies other than RICE (rest, ice, compression, and elevation), many people turn to the best compression socks for shin splints to help them recover from shin-related pain.
According to Dr. Vishnu Seecharan, a Florida-based podiatric physician and surgeon at LuxePodiatry, compression socks work by "providing support and stability to decrease the strain in the muscles and bones of your lower leg." That means while compression socks won't magically heal your shin splints overnight, they'll give you much-needed relief, provided you pick out the right pair for your needs.
When shopping for compression socks, consider whether you want a pair that covers your entire feet, or a sleeve that is footless and you can slip solely onto your calf. If you suffer from flat feet or rigid arches (two common causes of shin splints according to Dr. Seecharan), look out for a full sock with good arch support. Lastly, when it comes to how restrictive they are, a sock or sleeve with least 20 to 30 mmHg (millimeter of mercury) of compression would be ideal, says Dr. Kavita Sharma of Manhattan Pain & Sports Associates in New York.
To save you the struggle of weeding through potential options, I've put together a list of the best compression socks for shin splints that meet all the requirements doctors recommend.
1. The Overall Best Compression Socks For Shin Splints
These compression socks offer an incredible value for the price, with 20 to 30 mmHg of graduated compression, cushioned heel and toe support, and enough elasticity to make them easy to take on and off. And unlike most other brands, these compression socks are offered in four different sizes, from small to extra-large, to ensure a comfortable and secure fit. Designed with a lightweight nylon and spandex material that is said to be anti-odor, anti-static, and sweat-wicking, these compression socks will help aid in the support and relief of injuries like shin splints and are reportedly durable enough to wear on an everyday basis. One fan puts it best, "I had really bad shin splints and decided to try these socks. They aren't a cure all but they do lessen the intensity and aid with recovery."
- Available sizes: S-XL
2. The Best Compression Sleeve
If you don't have any foot or ankle issues, you may want to consider a compression sleeve, like this popular sleeve from BLITZU, rather than a sock. Some people find sleeves more comfortable to wear, and they can be paired with regular socks that you already own. The design of this BLITZU compression sleeve combines the benefits of kinesiology taping with the comfort and performance of lightweight, circular knit fabric. These sleeves offer the ideal 20 to 30 mmHg of compression, and Amazon reviewers have noted that they are sweat-wicking and great at reducing shin splint discomfort. And if you have any worries about the material slipping or sliding during exercise, you can relax: "They stayed up really nicely and wicked sweat well too. Huge reduction in shin splint pain!"
- Available sizes: S/M or L/XL
3. The Most Affordable
This affordable pair of compression socks are made of a comfortable and washable Lycra fabric with thicker fabric around the ankles to prevent ankle sprains. They also offer great arch support, reinforced toes and heels and 20 to 30 mmHg of compression to reduce muscle soreness and pain without limiting your mobility. At only $6, you can afford to buy multiple pairs of these socks for the price of one pair from another brand. Take note, however: Amazon reviewers have mentioned that they tend to run tall, so if you're shorter than average, these might not be the best fitting compression socks for you.
- Available sizes: S/M or L/XL

The cyclocross season is just around the corner and whether you're a complete newbie or seasoned veteran, you'll no doubt want to hit up the local 'cross races over the next few months. The Specialized Crux E5 2018 is a perfect entry-mid level machine, complete with disc brakes, super-grippy Tracer Sport tyres and a durable, incredibly stiff E5 Premium Aluminium frame. This is one cyclocross rig that's ready to race straight from the box.
If you're yearning for a little added boost during this dreary winter period, why not look into our range of electric bikes? From high-performance MTB rigs to comfy commuters, the list of battery-powered two-wheelers on our website is endless. Our pick of the electric bunch has to be the Sduro Cross 7.0 from Haibike, an off-road rig optimised for both trekking and long, off-road touring with its long life battery and 50-300% power assistance.
The road season may end around October time, but that's no reason to relegate the road bike to the back of the shed. Switching to a designated winter bike is a popular choice for many roadies, opting for a machine with a durable aluminium frame, slacker, more comfortable geometry and no-fuss components that are easy to service and maintain. The Trek Emonda Alr 6 Dnister 18 fits the bill perfectly, not to mention it's also one of the lightest climbing bikes out there.
Best in clothing
Thermal arm warmers and bib tights are a must when it comes to cold weather riding, regardless of whether you're hitting the singletrack or cruising the back lanes. Look for those thermals sporting a breathable yet water resistant membrane with a soft thermal layer on the inside. Specialized make some of the best and they also happen to be some of our most discounted items in the whole sale.
The cold isn't the only thing you'll have to worry about over the coming seasons, with rain and wind no doubt looking to spoil many of our rides. Layering is essential, so a warm jersey underneath a waterproof thermal jacket is going to be infinitely more effective than your standard woollen fleece. Oh, and don't forget the mitts. Numb fingers will not only dampen your spirits, they will also significantly decrease your ability to break and react to sudden situations while out riding.
Best in accessories
Clothing and the bikes themselves cover the bare essentials, but we're all partial to a few little extras just to make our rides that little bit easier come the cold winter season.
A quality GPS system can not only direct you from A to B - running errands to and from the city - it can also be used to navigate you away from some pretty dire situations. Garmin make some of the sleekest and most efficient GPS systems out there, ranging from their simple Edge 25 displaying speed and distance, to the high-tech 820 with full-colour maps and a wealth of navigation options.
As the days get shorter and the nights ever longer, now is a great time to also invest in a set of lights. From full beam spotlights to blinking rubber lights, the choices are vast. It's all about being seen, not necessarily which is the higher-performing light, so why not have a look at a range and see which suits you best.
These are just some of our picks from the Flash Sale, so make sure you look at the full range of items on offer, from sale bikes of all disciplines, to accessories, clothing and components.

Trip Info
December is starting off with some uncomfortable weather for fishing; however, it does not seem to be bothering the fish.
Anglers willing to tough it out early Tuesday were rewarded with some nice fish. Tuesday afternoon, conditions improved as the wind dropped, and the fair-weather fishermen hit the water experiencing the same result.
Let's start with a couple of reports from West Bay where Gino Conte and Tony Rivas landed 13 trout to 20 inches while drifting West Bay between Mecom's and Green's Cut. The tide was outgoing and several schools of trout were working bait in the area.
Conte said that the first school of fish was located by diving pelicans pointing them out. Down South and Saltwater Assassin soft plastics accounted for all of the fish, with no particular color or color combination being preferred.
Betsy Hatherill again found flounder in West Bay. The Spanish Grant resident has been having a lot of success on flatfish this fall and the action continues for her here in December.
Speaking of flounder, Dave Huber of Harborwalk reported that he assumed all of the flounder had left his area; however, Monday night he caught an undersized flounder while fishing under his lights.
The Galveston Channel and Texas City Dike continue to give up limits of flounder.
An angler who has his boat docked at the Galveston Yacht Basin called in to say that flounder action in the basin itself has not been up to par this year and asked if there might be a reason.
The only reason I can think of is that the peak of the run has not hit that area. There still remain a lot of large flounder in both East and West Bays.
Last weekend, Moses Lake turned on with a nice catch for Greg Hagerud and his guests Dave, Nancy and Robert Robertson of St. Louis. Live shrimp was the bait.

Sewing Machine Drawer Charging StationDecember 30th, 2008 in member junk
First I painted and distressed an old sewing machine drawer I then drilled a hole in the back end and used velcro to hold down an electrical strip with several plugs (like a surge protector). I then made a piece out of wood for the top with small holes cut out along one edge. I covered it with imitaion leather and put 2 small pieces of wood on the inside to hold it from going down too far. It's just laying on top of these side pieces so can be easily removed to change or add another plug. You plug all your items such as cell phones, ipods, etc. into the strip and pull the one end out the hole on top. You then just connect your device and lay it on top to charge.

Nature Republic Rose Real Nature Ampoule Review:
Nature Republic, to me, is a surprising company since you can find good quality products for every type of skin, for a very appealing price! Not to mention, their discounts are very friendly. As an online member living in Korea I have the chance to participate every month in the Shake Box event, where you can buy a box of, basically, way cheaper products (even though they literally have the same boxes every month, it's still a pretty good deal). So, I was not aiming for this particular item, but since I got it I decided to try it. I mean, it is made out of rose, if that doesn't appeal to you… then you're probably not European 😀 But I do love me some rose products. Now, you should know there are two real nature ampoules for every scent, one with oil and one without – this one is without oil so think of it as a rich essence.
Did I mention it comes in a glass bottle? It's lovely just looking at it.

Reunion after 70 years, 28. 10. 2012, Neve Ilan, Israel
Separated by war. Reunited after 70 years
Article written by Judita Matyasova
Published in Czech newspapers Lidove noviny, 29. 10. 2012
Photo by Jan Jindra
They have not seen each other for seventy years. The memories are rushing like a waterfall. "Do you remember how we first saw the sea for the first time? Can you remember how I was supposed to milk a cow for the first time? And how we ate those strange Danish sandwiches of theirs?" There is no end to questions. They speak in Czech, Hebrew, English. They all come from the group of 150 Jewish children from Bohemia sent to Denmark. They were supposed to go to Palestine but their destinies evolved otherwise. They lived in Scandinavia until the end of the war and then they ended up all around the world afterwards. Now they have met all those year later, not far from Jerusalem. Based on the article I published in Czech newspapers Lidove noviny in 2010 I managed to find this group of witnesses who have now met in Neve Ilan in Israel.
Anna Marie Steiner (87) has completely brightened up when she saw her friend Judit Shaked (87) at the other end of the room. The embrace, talk, you cannot stop them. They had spent three years in wartime Denmark before their lives parted. Anne Marie got to know her friend in spring 1939. They were preparing for leaving for Palestine in Prague. In the autumn of the same year the group of young people left for Denmark where they should have continued in practical preparations in the country. They needed to learn the daily agricultural jobs, so that they could get a certificate for the journey to Palestine. "When I think of it now, I cannot even imagine we were only fourteen, fifteen and we travelled across the whole of Europe. Completely on our own, with no adults, but we were together with our friends and that gave us strength," Anne Marie recalls. She puts ten black and white photographs on the table, each of them one chapter of her life. The childhood in Prague, the Denmark years, wedding in Prague, the departure for Israel and the Canada years, where she still lives today. She came to Neve Ilan in Jerusalem in order to meet the few friends whom she has not seen for seventy odd years. "This is where we had the summer camp, can you remember? And this is our "Houslet" where we gathered. This is me and overthere Hanuš and Edita," she points to the photographs, showing them to her friends who have come to this meeting from all around the world.
Judit Shaked joins the conversation. "I was so sad when I had to leave Denmark for Palestine in 1941, I missed you so much. I did not want to go, but somehow I was chosen for this journey and as the time went by I did not know how to find you. And then some time ago Judita Maytyášová phoned me and I knew that we can meet again and that it is the most important thing.
There is Janet Seckel-Cerrotti (56) sitting next to Judit who flew from Boston where she lives with her whole family. Her mother, Hana Dubová, who died two years ago was Judit's friend. When Janet learned this March about the existence of a few witnesses who knew her mother she has not hesitated for a minute and decided to come to Neve Ilan. "Every story I have heard today is important for me. I can understand more and more what my mother lived through. Perhaps someone could help me translate my mother's letters," she says. Judit bows over the photographs, they browse through them with Janet. They look at the photos where young Hana is along with other friends from Bohemia. The story continues thanks to Janet, her grandaughter. The story of a single decision in which parents sent their children to safety thus saving them. The story of a friendship which lasted for decades. The story of the Danish and Swedish families how helped the Czech children. The story which
remains hidden and only starts coming to light.
The story was helped by the readers of Czech newspapers Lidove noviny
The so far unmapped story of 150 Czech children was discovered thanks to a photograph published in LN in 2010. The LN co-worker Judita Matyášová has been searching for the past two years with colleagues from the NGO Czechs Abroad. They managed to discover 32 witnesses all over the world. The result of this search will be a book, a documentary and a publication. So far the search and research has been financed from private sources and the NGO is looking for donations. "The search is continuing all over the world and has been financially quite demanding. Yet despite having sought support in Czech and abroad, it has not been possible to find a sponsor yet. It is not possible to continue in the research without support and the story, not mapped historically may vanish", says Judita Matyášová, the head of Sophies choice, the Czech way project of Czechs Abroad NGO.

That is Helena after all, she discovered after 70 years!
written by Judita Matyášová
published on 13 th January 2011
Title page of Czech daily Lidové noviny
An eighteen-year-old Jewish girl named Helena Böhmová boarded a transport in 1942. Just before her departure, she had her picture taken at the renowned photographic studio, Vilem Frendl in Zdar nad Sazavou. It was never collected; she died in a gas chamber. The forgotten picture came into the hands of primary school children in Velká Beranová two years ago and they decided to unearth Helena's story. After passing the story to the Czech daily, Lidove noviny, Helena's cousin Zuzana Ledererová, the only surviving member of the family, recognized Helena from the printed photograph. "Weve been subscribers to Lidove Noviny forever. When my husband read the front- page article, I suddenly knew that it was my cousin," says eighty-six-year-old Zuzana Lederer. "We both grew up in Jihlava. Before the war, my parents sent me to Prague and then I went to Denmark. Helena's family moved to Zdar nad Sazavou. The atmosphere in Jihlava was already very tense. I knew nothing of Helena's fate for a long time. " "After the war I returned to Prague and I searched for any information about the family. Every day, my husband and I went to the Red Cross and other agencies. Finally, we found lists of the transports with just names and numbers. We stopped searching beyond that. It was too painful. Living in Denmark, we heard about the transports, but it didn't occur to us that so many people would have remained there." Ledererová recalls. The 1942 photo of Helena had been taken by the renowned photographer Vilem Frendl, in his studio in Zdar nad Sazavou. Helena had paid for the photograph, but she never picked it up. She left for Terezin and her life ended somewhere in Poland, in a gas chamber. When, in 2005, ninety-four-year-old Frendl was sorting through his archives, he found the photo of a Jewish girl, whose name he had since forgotten. He sent it to the local newspaper. The article was discovered in 2009 by Beranova primary school teacher Jaroslava Zadražilová and her students. "My grandfather would have been very happy that Helena's family received the photograph. He was an extremely honest man; he insisted on the image being given to the right hands. After all it was a proper business trasaction," says the photographer's grandson.
Rescued by Zionist courses
continuation of title story, page Nr. 3 of Czech daily Lidové noviny
Three sisters and only one survived. Her parents were preparing her to travel to Palestine; yet she ended up in Sweden. "Before the war, we lived with my parents in Jihlava. They had a thriving business, we had holidays abroad, we lived a good life. The atmosphere began to deteriorate and, as a Jew, I was suddenly allowed nothing. Not even to go to the park or to the cinema. Everyone knew about me and when they would see me, they'd rather cross the road and walk on the other side," says eighty-six-year-old Zuzana Ledererová. When she was fifteen, her mother told her about Zionist courses in Prague, preparing young people to travel to Palestine. Upon completion, the children were driven to Denmark and eventually taken to Palestine. "Why didn't my mother send my two younger sisters, too? Perhaps she wouldn't have been able to cope with all of us gone. It was hard for her to send me into the unknown, but I was looking forward to it. I thought it was an adventure," explains Zuzana. Should her parents have not enrolled her in the course, her fate would have been different. All the relatives who stayed behind ended up on transports. Nobody survived. The courses in which Zuzana was enrolled were also attended by German children from the Sudetenland. Children were taught basic skills and left in 1939 for Denmark, where they lived with Danish families. "I was looking forward to a kibbutz in Palestine. It was tempting to live somewhere in the community," explains Zuzana. The first two groups of children managed to travel to Palestine before the roads were closed. Zuzana's group, the third one, could not leave. Even in Denmark the pressure against Jews increased. Helped by a nice young man, Arnost, whom she met at school and grew to love, she decided to leave for Sweden. Along the way Arnost and Zuzana decided to marry. After the war, the couple returned to Czechoslovakia, but their homeland seemed foreign. Family and friends had disappeared and they felt that they had nothing to build upon. The couple thought of returning to Denmark, where they had found their second home. Formalities prior to departure took too long to sort out, and with the arrival of the year 1948, their hopes were dashed. Documents and belongings prepared for travel were unpacked as their plans disintegrated. Zuzana Ledererová became a translator and an interpreter from Danish. Her husband graduated to become a lawyer, but was able to work only as an economist at a saw mill.

Most of us discovered veganism in our late 20's and even 30's, our newest blogger VeggieGirl29, is starting early. Here she is in her own words, "I'm a Vegan teenager that has been vegan for 7 months now and vegetarian for three years. I feel like I open the eyes of the younger generation that wants to make the switch but their parents are against it. I also face the struggles in high school and being a teenager and being vegan as well. I feel like I open eyes." Follow her on Twitter and her blog; please welcome VeggieGirl29!
So the other day, I was talking about my veganism and such. WELL, someone asked me if I believed in God. Obviously I said yes. They're response was, "God put meat on this earth for humans to eat."
Here's my response to that:
First, greed is a deadly sin. How greedy certain people get about meat, gets kind of sickening. People kind of over do it on the whole meat thing. I saw someone eat a beef rib, a hamburger, a hot dog, and I think one other thing I couldn't tell you. That is being to greedy and taking too much from animals.
Second, it has been proven that ANY organism shouldn't be drinking other animals milk, humans shouldn't after the age of two. We aren't suppose to be having milk and cheese in our systems… So God didn't give us that, we forced it upon ourselves.
Lastly, if God wanted me to eat meat so bad, wouldn't I be in the hospital at this moment? I mean honestly, if eating meat was so good for me, wouldn't I be getting sick? But isn't it the other way around? Becoming vegan I have lowered my chances of getting heart disease incredibly and up my chances to fight diseases.
Sorry if I offended anyone with this post, but I was offended with at response that man gave to me. If you are a vegan or a vegetarian out that, you are no less that anyone else just by what you eat.
With all my respect,
P.S. you can always ask me questions and follow me on Twitter @VeggieGirl29

I like walking in nature, even if my body doesn't and having two kids in tow makes it harder to appreciate the signs and sounds. One reason I enjoy these walks is the foraging; whether it is edibles, interesting rocks or the occasional twig you can always guarantee we will find something to bring home.
This past May bank holiday weekend visited the North Yorkshire coast, in particular, Boggle Hole, for a spot of beach combing. I am never going to stack out an Etsy shop with curios and creations but I like finding things that I can incorporate into the witchy household environment and maybe even my practice. There were a couple of finds on this trip which underlines why this kind of thing can be very 'profitable', particularly for a budding witch who is on a budget.
Pentagram Rock
The striations in this stone are what made it stand out to me. It may not be perfect but this is defiantly a pentagram. This stone is pocket sized so it would make a perfect addition to any of my travel altars either as a focal point or elemental representation. I've been seeing a trend towards themed altar kits so for inspiration, this stone would also be a wonderful addition to any sea themed altar space.
Other Ways To Use Rocks
There is a massive emphasis on the use of crystals and semi-precious stones in new age circles but you can build some very real and meaningful relationships with more prosaic stones. When taken from a particular location the stones carry some of the energy of that location with them. Whilst you should never remove a stone from an ancient monument (not even if it has fallen from the monument) taking one from the surrounding area will allow you carry some of the places home with you, something that is particularly relevant if you regularly work in a particular place on a regular basis.
Even if you don't work with genius loci stones can be incorporated into your practices as markers for altars and circles. The size you use will depend on the purpose; larger stones for marking out outdoor circles, smaller stones for marking particular components of the altar set up. Smaller stones are also useful for making divinatory sets be that runes or some other tool.
Your chosen stones should be as flat as possible at least on the side you are going to draw your design on. Prepare your stone by washing it and cleaning it well, ideally with a toothbrush to remove any in the ground dirt. Any rough patches can be smoothed out using sandpaper, using finer and finer grades to create a smoother finish. Acrylic paints, fine point markers and marker paints are the best mediums for drawing your design on your stone, though it is also advisable to prepare by drawing your planned design in pencil or chalk. Once you have the design finished the stone needs sealing such as mode podge or similar. A good option for smaller stones or when you are in a pinch is clear nail polish, particularly chip-resistant polish.
Something A Little More – Jet and Hematite
Amongst the granites, sandstones and slates that you often find on the beach, it is also possible to find something a little more precious. Because they are knocked about by wave action it can be a little hard to compare them to the ones we find in the shops but they are there if you know how to look.
The most common find possible on any beach in North Yorkshire are quartz based. Ranging from pure to off-white in colour it is possible to find carnelian and citrine but they aren't all that common, or evident. The region is more famous for its deposits of jet, the fossilised remains of the monkey puzzle tree. This very light, black 'stone' is can easily be mistaken for coal but it can be distinguished by rubbing it up against sandpaper or sandstone. Coal will leave behind a black streak whilst jet will leave a reddish brown mark.
There are no laws about taking Jet from any of the beaches between Staithes and Runswick, at least that I can find, but discretion is advised. Jet is still an important commercial resource in the area so please bear this in mind.
The other thing I found on my recent visit was this interesting stone.
Based on the sheer weight and sheen I am hesitantly identifying it a hematite, an iron-rich stone regarded amongst healers as providing grounding and stabilising energies. I found it mixed within a deposit of other stones in a rock pool just below the cliff face and it was the rainbow sheen of the wet surface that attracted my attention. I've been doing some research and it is possible the stone is naturally occurring, rather than a previous ritual deposit and the fact that I was strongly attracted not only my its appearance by the feeling of it in my hand and pocket indicates to me that even if it were, this stone was meant to find me. I am planning to wire wrap it so I can wear it in the future.

Friends and neighbors:
Swimming is the center of summer in Plains for many residents. It has recently come to the attention of Committee for Safe Swimming (CSS) that E.L. Johnson Memorial Pool is losing 15,000 gallons of water a day into the ground, affecting the infrastructure of the pool and the ocst of pool heating and chemicals.
CSS has been working with Mayor Dan Rowan on estimates to repair the plumbing, ports and concrete decking. The Town of Plains manages day-to-day operations, but it takes an extrm amount of creativity and money to keep a facility of 50 years of age going.
That being said, CSS currently has $20,000 committed to the project as we embark on a fundraising campaign to raise another $30,000 for a total goal of $50,000 toward these repairs. Having our pool full of water and functioning for the 2019 swim season is our utmost goal. On behalf of Committee for Safe Swimming, we are asking you to consider financially supporting our endeavor.
Since CSS is a 501(c)3 entity, donations are tax-deductible. They can be made in several ways � by mail to CSS, Box 1546, Plains MT 59859; deposited at Rocky Mountain Bank or First Security Bank; or by contacting Erika Lawyer. Questions can be directed to me at 406-826-3656; Erika at 406-544-8493; or Kathy Gregg at 406-826-3146.
Together we can fill our pool, continue its legacy, and keep our community safe.

Dave Winer picks up the transparency thread. He writes:
From this point we'll get much better information about how companies are doing. Stock options as we knew them, are over. Salaries and benefits matter. Transparent management. Time to ride the Cluetrain, for real. Companies must make identifiable products for real people that they communicate with honestly, directly and openly.
Along the same lines, today Jer posted a copy of Nolan Bushnell's manifesto from the early days of Atari.
I think corporations simply have a hard time with transparency. They're all about being closed. Those within it see the corporation as a living organism (defend the cell walls!). I call this the organizational imperative: the organization takes on a life of its own and those involved begin to feed the organization at the expense of their own professed principles. There is always the temptation to think that the special organization one is involved in can overcome these problems, or that by working from the inside one can change one's favorite organization. Yet such notions ignore reality. An organization is what it is for various reasons of intention, history, personnel, and simple survival. Organizations take on a life of their own, and individuals who support them or work within them inevitably begin to value that which helps the organization more highly than that which helps the ideas or goals or persons who are the intended recipients of the organization's influence. One begins to believe that higher profits, more customers, membership growth, larger budgets, wider influence, more media mentions, and the like have value in themselves because they contribute to the life of the organization. And thus the organizational imperative takes over.
It's a sad story, but I've seen it repeated enough times to know that the imperative is extraordinarily difficult to resist, and that it's not the fault or intention of those involved. At this point I consider it a fact of reality, and simply work in and around it.

BOSTON (MarketWatch) -- T. Rowe Price Group Inc. TROW, +0.73% said Thursday it has added the Retirement 2045 fund to its family of so-called target-date retirement funds, which are designed to automatically manage an investor's stock and bond allocations. The Baltimore-based fund company now manages 10 such offerings, which have surged in popularity in recent years, especially in 401(k) retirement plans. "The investor does not have to worry about managing the asset allocation strategy over time and making tactical adjustments in response to changing market conditions," said Ned Notzon, chairman of the committee that oversees the T. Rowe Price retirement funds.

text: Tissue-specific network models of chemical-induced gene perturbation can improve our mechanistic understanding of the intracellular events leading to adverse health effects resulting from chemical exposure. The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) is a ligand-inducible transcription factor (TF) that activates a battery of genes and produces a variety of species-specific adverse effects in response to the potent and persistent environmental contaminant 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD). Here we assemble a global map of the AHR gene regulatory network in TCDD-treated mouse liver from a combination of previously published gene expression and genome-wide TF binding data sets. Using Kohonen selforganizing maps and subspace clustering, we show that genes co-regulated by common upstream TFs in the AHR network exhibit a pattern of co-expression. Specifically, directly-bound, indirectly-bound and non-genomic AHR target genes exhibit distinct patterns of gene expression, with the directly bound targets generally associated with highest median expression. Further, among the directly bound AHR target genes, the expression level increases with the number of AHR binding sites in the proximal promoter regions. Finally, we show that co-regulated genes in the AHR network activate distinct groups of downstream biological processes, with AHR-bound target genes enriched for metabolic processes and enrichment of immune responses among AHR-unbound target genes, likely reflecting infiltration of immune cells into the mouse liver upon TCDD treatment. This work describes an approach to the reconstruction and analysis of transcriptional regulatory cascades underlying cellular stress response using bioinformatic and statistical tools.
