Southern Life in Fiction
Southern Life in Fiction
These lectures, which were delivered at Mercer University on November 17, 18, and 19, 1959, under the title "Southern Life in Fact and Fiction," were addressed to somewhat different audiences: the first, to the English staff, students, and their guests; the second, to the University, faculty; and the third, to the Lamar Lecture Committee and the general public. A fourth lecture, "The Civil War in Literature," not included in this volume, was given in the student assembly.
The general theme of these lectures is one that has long interested me: the function of literature as a reflection of the life of the American people, a subject which of course involves some study of the various interrelations of literature and history. The reasons for my emphasis upon Virginia and Georgia in the second and third lectures will be obvious to anyone who reads them. The first lecture, except for the omission of one passage, is printed substantially as it was delivered; the second and third lectures have undergone some revision.
I wish to express my sense of the honor in being chosen as the Lamar Lecturer of 1959 following Donald Davidson . . .

The cataclysmic weather in Burgundy last year – Jean-Marc Blain of Domaine Blain-Gagnard in the Côte de Beaune told the drinks business he was hit by three frosts and four hailstorms in addition to a bad flowering and disease – has led to extremely promising wines but absolutely tiny quantities.
As a result merchants have warned that not only will prices go up, though not beyond reason, but it will also be exceptionally difficult to secure allocations.
David Roberts, buying director of Goedhuis, told db he had heard that Guillaume d'Angerville of Marquis d'Angerville, may not release his 2012s en primeur as he has so little.
Therefore, those wishing to have Burgundy in the lean year to come are advised to buy some 2011s, of which there are good amounts, at good prices and of good quality.
Anthony Hanson MW of Haynes, Hanson & Clark, told db: "For consumers in the UK, 2011 is well worth looking into because 2012 will, of course, be more expensive and there's less of it.
"Prices this year are stable and realistic. The Burgundians have their feet on the ground."
Roberts added that 2011 was particularly useful for the on-trade to have on their lists as it was evidently a more forward year than 2010 and with slightly less ageing potential than the 2009s.
Producers that db spoke to were positive in their appraisal of the vintage as were the merchants.
Hanson called the reds, "fruity and charming and early drinking," and the whites, "clean, fragrant, charming, not powerful but balanced between ripeness and feshness."
Roberts warned that some selection was necessary, "it's not uniform", but added that the overall quality was good and that the wines were "forward" and early drinking" and that, taken as a whole, 2011 was "better than 2007 and 2008 and perhaps more appealing than 2006."
The advantage for the on-trade, he continued, was that it would allow restaurants to put Burgundies on the list that could be drunk young – unlike the 2010s.
Gearoid Devaney MS of Flint Wines thought that consumers generally would enjoy 2011 because of its forwardness.
"I think the trade enjoys 2010," he mused, "but with all that structure it can be difficult for consumers to enjoy – that won't be the case with 2011."
For the on-trade he said: "It's going to be tricky for on-trade stocklists. They may take en primeur more seriously, particularly in the Côte de Beaune where they will need to buy to make sure they have a certain AOC on their lists as there might not be any in 2012.
"I think that they'll be working with their Burgundy lists differently but it won't be replaced.
"Certainly what we're trying to do is ask our producers for some of their older stock."
Tiny quantities of average fruit and wines that will be more expensive? Well worth skipping the vintage all together.

I clicked this picture almost exactly a year back for my assignment. The assignment was a photo essay on whatever theme I wanted. Since it was the monsoon season, I thought what other theme could be better than water. I took pictures of water droplets, reflections on water, condensed water droplets on windows and I even dropped water in a huge glass bowl for almost an hour and sat there with my camera to get that one perfect shot. I clicked about 5-7 decent pictures, I think, considering I only had a point and shoot camera at my disposal but the exercise in itself was really satisfying.
At the end of the exercise, even though my teacher didn't like it very much, I was in love with the pictures since it was the first time I had put real effort into photography. It had always seemed like a piece of cake to me but it was then that I realised that talent only grows if you nurture it, and that takes a lot of hard work and effort. Go try and challenge yourself in a field you love too and I assure you, you will look at it with a whole new angle.

Chateau Montelena Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley the Montelena Estate 1994
Winemaker's Notes:
This wine has a generous black currant jam and spice aroma, with some background tones of cedary Merlot and blueberry Cabernet Franc - very typical of the Calistoga District - and the color is dark ruby red. It is tasty with intense flavors of juicy berry and Cabernet Varietal spice that follow the nose. There is a very bright palate entry with big round fruit in a soft package. With moderate tannins and very fat on the palate it has a good "Red Wine" feel. The texture is key, a round feeling and rich tasting wine, with the concentration for which the Calistoga District is famous. Most importantly for you, the "user friendly" nature of the Calistoga Cuvee does not demand years of cellaring prior to finding a supple drinkability.
Editorial Reviews for Chateau Montelena Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley the Montelena Estate
Aromatically this remains coy, hinting at wood spice and licorice over a core of fine blue and black fruits. The aromatics carry over into the mouth, where this exhibits attractive spice notes over a palate that is as much about cedar and wood spice as it is about black raspberry and cherry fruit. There's a lot of dry tannin here to burn off, and there seems to be enough fruit to handle it, but it's a bit of an iffy proposition at this point based on this bottle. Based on track record, however, I expect this to pull itself together nicely by about 2018. 91 points

@Lucia-Touma i suggest python of some kind.
Trying the tutorial with an Omega2+, but the LCD does not show up in i2cdetect and the sample code from the tutorial is not generating any errors message when it runs.
Did you make any changes to any steps in the tutorial? (Double checked wiring, connections, and screen contrast).
Thanks in advance.
@radio1039 If you get this working, definitely come back with a write up! I would love to try this out, it is on my list for future experimentation.
@Doug-Petican said in What's wrong with my I2C code?:
May not have anything to do with your problem but I noticed this: unsigned char command[2]; but later you only set the first command byte: command[0] = 0xe3;
May not have anything to do with your problem but I noticed this: unsigned char command[2]; but later you only set the first command byte: command[0] = 0xe3;
Not an issue. The only use of that array is write() calls with a count of 1.
No one has replied
@Chris-McCaslin Try using any pins other than 20 and 21 since they run the I2C protocol.
With regards to the servo, while fast-gpio is pretty handy, it's still software-based PWM. Anytime another process gets the CPU's full attention, the PWM signal will change. This will happen many times a second, so the PWM signal going to the servo will be constantly changing. This change in the PWM signal is the reason why your servo is twitching. Sorry, but your best bet for a non-twitchy servo is the Servo Expansion.
Another thing, your servo accepts a high pulse of 1ms to 2ms in a 20ms PWM period.
I think I got it,
I updated the BravoPapa source to work with my layout which is way over complicated.

Informal Governance in the European Union
Edited by Thomas Christiansen and Simona Piattoni
Chapter 10: Informal governance in the Common Agricultural Policy
Christilla Roederer-Rynning
Christilla Roederer-Rynning INTRODUCTION The purpose of this chapter is to examine how formal and informal aspects of governance have shaped the development of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) since the late 1950s. The task entails determining the role of these factors not only in the institutionalization of the CAP in the 1960s, but also in the slow re-institutionalization of this policy along new lines in the 1990s.1 A key premise of this study is that European farm politics underwent an 'agrarian turn' in the 1960s. It is arresting that the CAP today conjures up all the flaws of an anachronistically productivist project, for the early formulations of the CAP revealed the concern of its architects to include a variety of societal interests and to use structural policy as a tool of modernization. The 'incongruous' character (Fennell 1997, p. 20), until not so long ago, of the injunctions of early European policy-makers is a good indicator of this 'agrarian turn'. An attentive reading of the Treaty of Rome of 1957 and of the proceedings of the Stresa Conference in June 1958 suggests that early Europeanists regarded agriculture 'as an integral part of the economy and as an essential factor in social life',2 urged their successors to draw consumer concerns into farm policy-making3, and even recommended a generous endowment of the structural dimension of agricultural policy.4 Although the terminology was often evasive and did not coalesce into a coherent vision, it clearly roomed a variety of projects besides the framework which...

Does anyone remember the Garry Larson cartoon 'Welcome to Heaven here's your Harp; Welcome to Hell, here's your Accordion'?
I loved that cartoon . . . and I read recently that actually harpists were once looked upon with disdain and seen even as 'outlaws'.
When I was suggested as a founder Poozie member (before even the name was invented) by Sally Barker to Mary Macmaster and Patsy Seddon, there was a gasp of horror – accordions playing with harps???? Never. . .
Anyway. All those years ago I was very sniffy about lots of things including 'not liking' Scottish bagpipes – until I heard 3 pipers playing outside a pub in Rothbury (with a snare drum) in close 3 part syncopated harmony. Utterly meserising, fun and amazing.
That was a turning point – so it's the player, not the instrument – we can all emit 'poisonous sounds' (AS mR. Lebrecht says about accordions) or heavenly music. . .and then there's perception – some may think that 'Heaven' exudes clashing dischords or subsonic bass lines. Hmmm, Metallica angels. . . I quite like that.
Sorry, I digress.
Before I get to the squeeze versus plucked, let's take another route for a minute – flutes. Have a look at this – it combines my interest in old with sound and also that whatever we find / dig up, it's all conjecture (is that the right word?) – we can guess but we actually have no idea what sounds, scales etc were made thousands of years ago. I do love thinking about it though.
This article is from the publication of the Acoustical Society of America (Vol 10, Issue 3). The writer, Jelle Atema works in Boston, USA and has labs in Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and analyses the underwater sensory worlds of lobsters, sharks and reef fishes. Thank you to Steve Pollitt for bringing this to my attention.
Suddenly I'm not so interested in accordions anymore. . .
(Photo : Dave Ellis)
Last night was an enchanted evening – beautiful venue, great audience and the most incredible music from Nick Wiseman-Ellis and Nic Zuppardi. My heartfelt thanks go to them, all their friends who made the evening so special and to Jacky Dye for lending me her Sonola accordion which she bought from Allodis in London. What an accordion! (swoon).
We're looking forward to the Creative Accordion Day today (in the same venue) with 10 participants. Great fun! There's some video links I'll send you from the concert soon – do look out for the Two Nicks.
As Martin Hayes says, 'The best music is yet to come. . .' – last night certainly proved that for me.
Uh oh, we're already deep into the accordion-talk forest, so just to let you know that the new BUNCH OF KEYS CD 3 is out and available from my website :
– packed with great tracks from 23 piano accordionists (different to those on CDs 1 &2), it includes a track from Kevin Taylor – one of the people I greatly admired and respected in my teens (and who adjudicated me several times – my, he took no prisoners!).
Many thanks to Philip Clarke and his team for putting this together again. We enjoyed such a fun night at the launch with great accordionists such as Frank Kelly and Mick Foster (Foster & Allen) alongside many of the younger hot players. I loved Edel McLaughlin's playing – really beautiful, that night.
OK, ok, strings now. . .
Well, almost! While here in Norwich, I've been discussing Shape Note Music from the Sacred Harp (a way of singing that is easy to follow and joyous to sing) – pop along to the Octagon Chapel, Colegate, Norwich NR3 1BN on Monday evenings from 7-9pm with Cath and Fynn. No experience necessary – just bring your voice and prepare yourself for a great dose of wonderful singing in a very uncomplicated way.
And Harp On Wight is gathering speed – the website is being updated, concerts, lectures, tuition information and tickets are now online and booking can also be taken by phone / paypal.
Volunteers are starting to get stuck in and momentum is gathering. . . fundraising concerts and events are happening. . . hope you can hop across!!!
Here's the details :
Harp on Wight
An interesting new music festival – focusing on the harp- will be taking place at various venues in Ryde, Isle of Wight during the last week in November.
The new event is entitled Harp on Wight, and will consist of a series of concerts and teaching workshops featuring nationally recognised harpists from both folk and classical music.
The teaching courses will be open to all levels of ability from absolute beginners to advanced.and to all age groups from seven years upwards.
The Festival will also include an exhibition of harps by national harp manufacturers and a one week course where attendees will be able to make their own harp is also planned.
In addition, there will be a competition for a new piece of harp music inspired by the Isle of Wight. The competition will be divided into two age groups – under and over sixteen – with a cash prize for each. (See below for more details)
The original idea and inspiration for the Festival came from Annamaria Sacchini from Michelangelo's Restaurant in Ryde who plays both harp and sitar.
Anna – who is the part of the organizing team for the event – attended an International Harp Festival last year in Dinan, France. She thought that a similar event would be well-suited to Ryde : an interesting and artistically stimulating event for participants and audience members – from both on and off the Island – outside of the main holiday season.
For further information about the event please visit www.harponwight.com or telephone 01983-730930.

Harp On Wight Fundraising Concert!
Vaguely Sunny's next concert takes place at 7.30pm on Saturday, September 13th and is a fund raiser for Harp on Wight . Vaguely Sunny are part of the Harp On Wight organising team.
The concert features singer/songwriter Maz (short for Marie Louise) O'Connor. Her songs -both self-penned and traditional – are influenced by her native Cumbria.
Maz's star is fast rising in the folk world. Only a couple of years on from the culmination of her studies, she has already been the recipient of the Horizon Award for Best Newcomer in the 2013 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards.
Her second album 'This Willowed Light' is hot off the press. Being innovative, whilst still managing to honour the tradition, is the challenge for any young folkie, and Maz carries it off with disquieting ease, assisted by Jim Moray's expert production. No wonder that The Observer recently rated it as 'Folk Album Of The Year' thus far. For more information about Maz's music please visit www.mazoconnor.com
Maz will be supported by young Island singer/songwriter Lauran Hibberd who received a positive response to her appearances on The Bohemian Woods stage during this year's Isle of Wight Festival, and also at the earlier Festival warm-up gig at The Black Sheep Bar in Ryde. Please see www.facebook.com/lauranhibberdmusic
The concert is taking place at Aspire, Ryde which is the former Holy Trinity Church building in Dover Street, Ryde. Heath Monaghan and his team have worked extremely hard in a short space of time in order to adopt the building to a range of community use and we are keen to support that. Please see www.isyou.org.uk for further information.
Tickets for the concert are £10.00 each and can be booked in advance by phoning 01983-730930.

Since 2005, Barry Simon has collaborated with "Uncle" Phil to develop individual canoe route maps that display the data collected during The Wabakimi Project reconnaissance trips. To date, he has produced over 70 maps and continues to develop new maps in anticipation of future expeditions.
Each map is produced digitally in full colour on 8.5" x 11.0" high-quality laser paper and is assigned a descriptive title that indicates the extent of coverage and the direction of flow of the main intervening waterway (eg., Davies Lake to Ahleen Lake via Palisade River PDF - 412Kb).
Canoe route values such as campsites and portages are shown. Accurately measured portage lengths are expressed in metres to make them compatible with topo maps. Locations of outpost camps and lodges are included where assistance may be obtained should an emergency arise.
The maps are uniform in scale and each overlaps adjoining maps for seamless coverage of a canoe route. Enlargement circles provide magnified details of portages as well as hazards or obstacles such as swifts, rapids and waterfalls.
Sets of canoe route maps are bound in separate volumes according to their location in a particular watershed as depicted on the Map Booklet Coverage Areas map. Each volume contains a table of contents, a coverage map showing the routes included and detailed information about the Wabakimi Project and the Wabakimi Area.

Here is a great recipe for cauliflower crust pizza. After the link I will give you my own tweaks.
I used a cheese grater and avoided the stems. It looked like rice after I was through. I must warn you, it makes a lot of cauliflower rice. We had a total of six 10-11 inch pizzas from this I used a bit less parmesan cheese and more cauliflower and I added a tablespoon or so of olive oil to the mixture. Sautéing the vegetable toppings is key. I really felt like this was as good or better than regular pizza. It did not seem like I was settling for anything. I just used the Contadina squeeze bottle sauce (yet, it has corn syrup, but overall sugar levels are low in it).

One of the most visited and important tourist places in Germany, Berlin is located on the banks of the rivers Spree and Havel in northeastern Germany and is the center of the Berlin-Brandenburg region. It is the biggest city in and the capital of Germany. Many monuments on the South Bank attract and draw the tourists.
Being the capital of Germany, it is the federal center of the nation. Berlin was also the center of Hitler's Nazi regime. Even though it has been more than half a century since the World War II, its horrors still mar its history. It was divided between the Soviet influenced East and the US influenced East by the Berlin Wall until 1989; it had become the battleground for the Cold War.
Regardless of being the birthplace of the World War II Berlin has many historical monuments related and unrelated to the War like the Berlin Wall Memorial, Haus am Checkpoint Charlie, the Fernsehturm, Brandenburg Gate, and the Reichstag building. It is the center for science, culture, media and politics and has dynamic tourist season all through the year.
Places to visit in Berlin
- Museum Haus am Checkpoint Charlie: Built 55 years ago, this museum was named after the famous checkpoint where Rainer Hildebrandt came to express his protest against the wall. It is a display of the history of human rights. The Museum expanded over time and has been a testament and non-violent contributor to the fall of the Berlin Wall.
- Reichstag Building: Hitler gained control when he took over the parliament in the Reichstag Building in 1933. It is the home to the federation's government and was reconstructed and completely renovated in the late 1990s.
Visit Berlin soon to have an unforgettable experience.

The Tamandai community has appealed for help to rehabilitate the road and complete a bridge linking the border area shopping centre to the greater Chipinge.
Tamandai Shopping Centre at the border with Mozambique remains secluded from other parts of Chipinge, especially during the rainy season with buses reportedly having shunned using the route 15 years ago.
Farmers, business persons and villagers say poor road network and failure to complete the bridge whose construction started in the 1960s has made the road impassable during the rainy season while the presence of crocodiles at an alternative low crossing bridge exposes people, especially school children, to a known danger.
They say with economic activities in the area buoyed by high agricultural production, the district and the country can benefit a lot from the rehabilitation of the road.
"We appeal for help to rehabilitate our road and complete construction of a bigger bridge that was left incomplete during the 1960s. The rainy season usually brings headaches to farmers, business persons and villagers who want to go to Chipinge or other places as the road is usually impassable," said one of the villagers.
Despite the poor road network, there is life at Tamandai Business Centre with persistent individuals and locals being able to enjoy a unique experience at the border shopping centre that was also a popular crossing point used by freedom fighters crossing into Mozambique.

What does cleaning the bathroom have to do with working memory? In our house everything. In order to clean the bathroom, a minimum of 8-10 tasks needs to be done. If you have problems with working memory, you may struggle to remember all the tasks only managing to complete a few of the tasks at a given time even after being reminded for years. Working memory is the ability to store and manage short-term information.
Right now my daughter is trying to remember C major, C minor, and C harmonic scales, but she is struggling with remembering finger placement for the minor scale. Her problem is an inadequate working memory. Many children with ADHD have working memory deficits, so they need to learn to compensate.
For my daughter, she has an exceptional visual memory, so we use lots of visual cues. Yes, lists are everywhere in our house even in the bathroom with the steps to clean the bathroom. It's not a foolproof method and part of the challenge is getting her to understand that it is in her best interests to use strategies. For years she thought using strategies was cheating and refused, but once the school, music instruction, and home aligned in the message that strategies are necessary for successful learning she begins using them.
Now, how can she learn to use her superior visual memory to help compensate for her poor working memory? She is 16, not likely to participate in my experiments, but I am going to at least offer a suggestion. Try marking the spot for finger placement. Practice playing while looking at your finger placement to encode that position into visual memory, then practice more without looking at your fingers.
Okay, so she was feeling desperate and tried my suggestion. Can you believe a 16-year-old actually listened to her mother? It's amazing what desperation will do? She has a video evaluation due for those scales in 25 minutes. This is why music is so valuable? Music teaches executive function skills in a way that most school programs do not. Memorization, self-evaluation, problem-solving is embedded in good music instruction, but the trick is to keep your child with ADHD in a good music program if they decide they feel they are not a musician, but music offers many opportunities to build executive function skills and practice compensating for learning weaknesses.

AANA Journal Issue Details
On The CoverStudent nurse anesthetists at Middle Tennessee School of Anesthesia (MTSA) in Madison, Tennessee, perform a fiberoptic intubation in the Simulations Skills Center. The Center is a part of a $3 million dollar expansion/renovation at the school. Pictured (l to r) are: Misenga Kabongo, placing a femoral arterial line using an arrow catheter; Huy Nguyen, managing fluids and various drips; Amber Todaro, performing the intubation; and Dawn Price, managing the tongue and having suction available.

In This Issue
Comparison of 2 Laryngeal Tracheal Anesthesia Techniques in Reducing Emergence Phenomena Endotracheal intubation (ETT) can cause emergence phenomena (EP) including coughing, sore throat, and dysphonia. Two methods used to prevent EP are the administration of local anesthetics directly onto airway structures using a specialized laryngotracheal instillation of topical anesthesia tube or the placement of a local anesthetic into the ETT cuff. The purpose of this research was to determine which method was better at preventing EP. The study demonstrated greater efficacy in decreasing the incidence and severity of EP by placing an alkalinized solution of lidocaine into the ETT cuff on intubation.Keywords: Alkalinized, emergence phenomena, laryngotracheal, lidocaine.
Anesthesia in a Child with Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Deficiency: A Case Report Pyruvate dehydrogenase deficiency is an ´-linked mutation causing deficiencies of pyruvate dehydrogenase phosphatase that results in elevated lactic acid and is aggravated by the ingestion of carbohydrates in the diet. In this case report, the authors report a pediatric patient with pyruvate dehydrogenase deficiency who presented for a left foot tendon transfer with an Achilles tendon lengthening secondary to left ankle equinus. The pathophysiology of pyruvate dehydrogenase deficiency is discussed as well as anesthetic management in patients with this deficiency.Keywords: Ketogenic diet, lactic acidosis, pyruvate dehydrogenase, thiamine.
Anesthesia for Cesarean Delivery in an Achondroplastic Dwarf: A Case Report The authors describe the anesthetic management of an achondroplastic dwarf who underwent cesarean delivery. There are more than 100 different types of dwarfism, and achondroplasia is the most common form of this rare condition. Limited neck extension, foramen magnum stenosis, a large tongue, large mandible, and atlanto-axial instability can lead to increased difficulty of airway management. The authors conclude that adequate preparation and planning are fundamental for successful anesthetic management of an achondroplastic dwarf undergoing cesarean delivery.Keywords: Achondroplastic dwarf, difficult airway, general anesthesia, regional anesthesia.
A Successful Partnership to Help Reduce Health Disparities: The Institute for Culturally Competent Care and the Kaiser Permanente School of Anesthesia/California State University Fullerton An innovative partnership with Kaiser Permanente's Institute for Culturally Competent Care enabled the Kaiser Permanente School of Anesthesia/California State University Fullerton to present a formal, 4-module cultural competency certification program within the nurse anesthesia curriculum. The goals of developing the cultural competency curriculum were to increase students' awareness of cultural differences and to enhance students' communication skills with an increasingly diverse patient population. This article describes the genesis and evolution of the collaboration as well as the impact of this ongoing educational effort.Keywords: Cultural awareness, culturally competent care, culturally sensitive patient care, cultural competency in education.
Multidisciplinary Management of Peripartum Cardiomyopathy During Repeat Cesarean Delivery: A Case Report Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a potentially fatal form of heart failure associated with pregnancy. The worldwide incidence of PPCM is about 1 in 3,000 to 1 in 15,000 pregnancies. This case report illustrates the recognition of peripartum cardiomyopathy and the risks early in pregnancy. It also describes the appropriate medical management, including transesophageal echocardiography, and the need for collaboration of multiple medical specialists before and during delivery to provide the best possible outcome for both mother and infant.Keywords: Awake intubation, cardiomyopathy, cesarean delivery, peripartum cardiomyopathy, pregnancy.
AANA Journal Course: Update for Nurse Anesthetists—Part 5—Implications of Immune Function to Anesthesia Care Multiple aspects of perianesthesia care and the perioperative environment can influence the functions of the immune system. This course reviews basic immune system functions and potential sources of immune system–altering perioperative stress. The effects of commonly used anesthesia drugs, opioids, and adjunct drugs on immune function are discussed. Patient populations at risk for increased morbidity due to perioperative immune depression are identified, along with patient-specific measures nurse anesthetists can take to reduce postoperative immune dysfunction.Keywords: Immune system, drug-induced immunosuppression, opioids, pain, perioperative metabolic stress response.

When We Rise is a memoir written by LGBT and human rights activist Cleve Jones, who essentially saw the gay liberation and rights movement from the very beginning. I first met Cleve when he was played by Emile Hirsch in the 2008 film Milk, which I actually only watched for the first time when I was home for the holidays last December and thought it would be a good time to watch some of the DVDs I own but have never watched, and Milk was one of them. I had always known the movie existed, but never got around to watching it and I so wish I had watched it when it came out. If you're not familiar with the movie, which won a few Oscars including Best Actor for Sean Penn and Best Original Screenplay for Dustin Lance Black, it's the story of Harvey Milk, who was the first openly gay man elected to public office in California. But it's also the story of Milk and the gay liberation movement; of the gay neighborhood in San Francisco in the 70s, "The Castro," at a time when counterculture was taking over the world and everyone dreamed of running away and being who they really were. Cleve was mentored by Milk and worked on his campaigns for a seat on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, so he was a fairly important character in the movie.
Then, a few months later, I heard that there was going to be a new miniseries on ABC about the gay liberation and rights movement called When We Rise that was written by the same guy who wrote Milk and won an Oscar for it, so I was immediately intrigued and, let me just tell you, those four two-hour episodes WRECKED me. After I finished watching it, I discovered that the miniseries was partially inspired by Cleve Jones' memoir, also called When We Rise, so I just knew it was going to be a book I would be buying on my next trip to the bookstore. The memoir is essentially an extension of the story that is told in Milk, but so much more. It's Cleve's story, and it's the story of a movement, from the very beginning to the present day. It is about a boy discovering his identity in a time when people's reaction to anything other than heterosexuality was to treat them for what they saw as a mental illness. It is about that boy deciding to take to the road and eventually make it to San Francisco, where he realized he wasn't alone. He was never alone. Gay people existed and were coming together without shame for the first time. It's about the people he fell in love with along the way, the hitchhiking to other parts of the country and journeys to other parts of the world and his adventures there. It's about what it was like to be mentored by one of the first ever openly gay politicians with whom he was able to take part in several victories. It's about what it was like to be one of the first people to see that politician's body after he was assassinated. It's about what it was like to see a disease first known as "Gay Cancer" start from the very beginning, which would soon kill almost everyone he knew in his area, and almost killed him a few years later. It's about the continuing fight for gay rights and equality that still goes on today. If anything, it's a portrait of an American life and I'm so, so, so glad he wrote it down and I had the privilege to read it.
I liked so many things about When We Rise, but one of the things that made it so great was the way it was written. It's SO well written and is hands down one of the best written memoirs I've ever read. I know that often times celebrities and just people in general collaborate with professional writers to help them write their biographies and memoirs (the outstanding ability of being able to string words together doesn't come naturally to everyone), and I don't know if Jones had help with writing this, but it's pretty much irrelevant because it's just so top notch (I like to think he wrote this without help, because he included speeches that he wrote for gay rights rallies and marches over the years and they too were superbly written, so that tells me this book was all him). Often times, I forgot I was reading a memoir because I was so engrossed in the story, but more so the history: gay history that is out there, but doesn't get told nearly enough. That's a large part of what makes this book so great. It's a portrait of an American life, but an American life that was sidelined as a minority who was and still is often misunderstood. So the fact that Jones was able to write this and have it published makes me want him to shout his story from the rooftops, because it's so relevant and necessary. Jones and a large part of his friends were in the fight for gay rights, liberation and equality from day one. Day one. That story and history is unbelievably important and it needs to be known.
Also, on that note, there seems to be talk online that When We Rise is merely a memoir of all the men Cleve Jones had sex with during his youth and people who wrote that on Goodreads just make me want to bang my head against a table. Yes, Jones does tell the stories of the men he encountered and later slept with and looking back there are a lot of them, but some of them are relevant and part of the overall story of the gay rights movement that he is telling. Some of them aren't necessarily related to the gay rights movement story, but this is also his memoir and he's allowed to tell his story how he sees fit. Not to mention the fact that there were times when it wouldn't have been possible for Jones to talk about the men he had sex with back in his youth as openly as he does in this book, which just emphasizes the importance and relevance of this story. I'm sure you wouldn't be complaining nearly as much if some straight woman wrote a memoir with details of all the men she's slept with. If you're going to go on Goodreads and say you enjoy the story about what it was like in the early days of the gay rights movement but then say you can't get through it because Jones talks too much about the men he had sex with, maybe don't read a gay book. Maybe don't read a book about the liberation movement of gay people if you're homophobic. Just a thought.
The miniseries was excellent, but it doesn't even begin to do the story and history justice and I would sooner recommend you read Jones' book instead, just because he's so damn great and interesting and empowering and did I mention great? It was one of those reading experiences where you want to read it fast, but you have to slow yourself down because it's such an intricate story that you need to be sure to take your time to comprehend and savior every word. As much as I wanted to finish it, I realized after finishing it that I really didn't want it to end! My heart is gone! This book has taken it from me! I don't think I'll ever get it back! Absolutely heart wrenching but oh so relevant and necessary. Oh so highly recommend.

It�s not perfect, but it�s good.
So said the Eugene residents on Monday who spoke in support of Walnut Station, the ambitious urban plan to transform the Franklin Boulevard area near the University of Oregon.
In the works since 2005, Walnut Station is one of several areas where the city is encouraging mixed-use development, where businesses, dwellings and retail shops and restaurants are located close together to encourage walking and biking instead of driving.
Developers would have to make the plans a reality, but the guidelines would influence what they build.
Most of the 15 people who spoke to the City Council favored the planning guidelines, which are meant to encourage dense commercial and residential development in the area, while attempting to protect the character of the adjacent Fairmount Neighborhood.
Neighborhood Chairwoman Susie Smith said the planning effort begin on a �sour note� five years ago. But ensuing discussions by residents, city officials and representatives from the University of Oregon and Eugene Chamber of Commerce led to �an incredible amount of collaboration� and guidelines that are �getting better, better and better,� she said.
The council appears poised to approve the guidelines on July 26.
�If anybody can show us how to do it, Fairmount can,� Mayor Kitty Piercy said.
The guidelines that will be tried in Eugene for the first time in Walnut Station are meant to provide greater flexibility to property owners and developers so they can construct commercial buildings that are more compatible with the adjoining neighborhood.
For example, present zoning allows commercial buildings on Franklin to be as high as 10 stories, but the proposed rules would limit building height to seven stories on Franklin and three stories closer to East 15th Avenue, near the Fairmount neighborhood.
However, because the area is supposed to be pedestrian and mass transit friendly, the guidelines also would give developers the option of providing less parking than what current code requires. And the prospect of more development without enough parking worries some.
Veterinarian Rena Cowan, owner of Eugene Animal Hospital on Orchard Street, said her employees and customers now have a difficult time finding parking. Allowing nearby high density development without adequate parking would put more pressure on her business, she said. �The reality is that my business is going to get squeezed out by this,� Cowan said.
Fairmount resident Camilla Bayliss urged the council to follow Walnut Station planning with parking studies to see if parking can be improved.
She said parking in the neighborhood now is impossible on days when the UO has track meets or football games.
�I am unable to entertain on those days because my guests cannot find places to park,� she said.
Walnut Station would be developed on both sides of Franklin Boulevard, from the city�s eastern entrance near Orchard Street to Onyx Street.
The guidelines would change Franklin Boulevard from its present configuration to a multiway boulevard so motorists, pedestrians and bicyclists can access businesses on the street, while through traffic moves in center lanes. The center of the boulevard also would include room for two lanes for Lane Transit District EmX buses.
Fairmount resident David Sonnichsen said the rebuilt boulevard would unite the neighborhood instead of divide it, as is the present case.
�The multiway boulevard would make crossing Franklin Boulevard by foot or bike much more inviting,� he said.
Jared Mason-Gere, of the Eugene Chamber of Commerce, said the guidelines will be applied in other parts of town and could �foster walkable, dense neighborhoods� while streamlining the building process for developers.
The guidelines �will be a huge advantage to help developers know what they are getting into,� he said.

Character Development
Martial Virtue
The students are encouraged to behave in a manner which demonstrates characteristics of the following virtues. Each virtue has its own merits, together they reinforce each other and lead to wisdom.
Working with others in a cooperative rather than competitive manner to assist the other to learn, to develop skill and to perform at their best.
Accepting that it is OK if you can't perform a technique well when you are first shown. It takes time and practice to develop skill. Having experienced this for themselves, students learn to accept the same in others, and usually adopt a supportive, nurturing role with their juniors.
Doing the right thing is difficult for all of us. We nearly always know the right thing to do. Choosing to do it is the hard part. Learning to consider others as well as ourselves is a big step forward. At times we all make mistakes and behave in ways that could be better. When this occurs we explore other choices that could lead to a happier result.
Focussing your attention on the task at hand. This is achieved with children by keeping the time spent on one task to a few minutes then moving on to the next thing. There are many aspects to our practice, we focus on thing one at a time.
By returning regularly to concentrate for a short period on a task which is difficult and making an effort to do it better, it becomes apparent that we get better at it. Continued effort brings continued rewards.
Stephen Ramsdale began Tang Soo Tao training in Melbourne in 1985. As a 1st Dan Black Belt he started Ramsdale's Tang Soo Tao in Brisbane in May 1999. In 2004 he was awarded 3rd Dan Black Belt. After converting Britannia Garage into a dedicated training facility he has been teaching in Caloundra since 2008.
Other qualifications include Diploma of Sport and Recreation and Diploma of Fitness with speciality qualifications for training children, people with special needs, older adults and freestyle group exercise.
Group sizes are kept small and classes are split into separate age groups to cater for the different needs, stages of development, and concentration spans of early primary school vs late primary school age children.
The sessions are structured to teach traditional martial arts skills in periods of intense concentration interspersed with periods of vigorous games which develop coordination and agility with the emphasis on inclusive, non-competitive, fun.
Self development - Martial Artists use movement as the paint and their own self as the canvass.
Self awareness - Practice makes us aware of our strengths and weaknesses, physically, mentally and emotionally. We get to experience our true character.
Self discipline - Learning to function in a structured environment, concentrating on the task at hand and paying attention to detail leads to self discipline.
Self confidence - Knowing our strengths and weaknesses and experiencing success through perseverance gives us self confidence.
Self respect - Seeing that we are no different to anyone else in the difficulties we have and knowing we have improved ourselves through our own efforts gives us self confidence.
Self defence - Self confidence is the first defence against a bully. Control of our emotions and a clear mind support our physical abilities. But more than being able to defeat an opponent in a physical contest, we must be able to defend our actions afterwards. Dealing with conflict without violence, and with minimum violence if it cannot be avoided, is our first choice.

Marty and Debi Kermeen of Yorkville built their first permanent labyrinth 20 years ago on the Naperville Riverwalk, and have since created and installed more than 70 of them throughout the country.
After traveling to more than 20 states and Mexico to install labyrinths on public and private property, Marty Kermeen says he has grown more competent with the "intense geometry" creating a labyrinth involves, and believes there isn't one right way to interact with the intricately designed paths.
"The beauty is there are all kinds of suggestions," Marty Kermeen said. "There isn't a rule book at the door. You can suggest a way, you can say it's right, but there is no right way."
One of the Kermeens' most recent labyrinths measures 40 feet wide and is located on the Aurora University campus outside the Wackerlin Center for Faith and Action. The labyrinth contains seven circuits made from seven concentric rings that circle the center.
The Naperville Riverwalk labyrinth is based on the stone labyrinth at the Chartres Cathedral in Chartres, France, Marty Kermeen said.
"It's chock full of sacred geometry, hidden symbolism," he added. "The one in the cathedral is about three feet wider than the Naperville labyrinth."
The Kermeens started their business in the 1980s and began incorporating the design features many years later as Labyrinths in Stone. "We did brick paving for 15 years prior to labyrinths coming into our consciousness," Marty said.
He likens what happens in a labyrinth to experiences in a church or any other worship space. "Life happens inside," he said. Walking through a labyrinth doesn't give you answers, it gives you a place to find them, he said.
"Most contemplate on the way in, and come to a decision or peacefulness in the center," he said.
Since creating the Naperville Riverwalk labyrinth, the Kermeens have also installed them at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb, St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church in Naperville, Oswego Presbyterian Church, Illinois Math and Science Academy in Aurora, Yorkville Congregational Church and Good Samaritan Hospital in Downers Grove.

The couple has also created temporary labyrinths out of things like bird seed, shoes and food.
The Kermeens are scheduled to present "Labyrinths as Transformational Healing Tools" at 7 p.m. Thursday at the Theosophical Society in Wheaton.
"We'll talk about everything from a little bit of history to stories about how they connect and transform people and communities," Debi Kermeen said. "We usually have people laughing and crying."

The clinical experiment took place at Stanford University Hospital during spring 1996. The gold standard was established by E. Sickles, M.D., Professor of Radiology, University of California at San Francisco, and Chief of Radiology, Mt. Zion Hospital, and D. Ikeda, Assistant Professor and Chief, Breast Imaging Section, Department of Radiology, Stanford University, an independent panel of expert radiologists, who evaluated the test cases and then collaborated to reach agreement. The majority of the detected items were seen by both radiologists. Any findings seen by only one radiologist were included. The other type of discrepancy resolved was the class of the detected lesions. Since the same abnormality may be classified differently, the two radiologists were asked to agree on a class.
The focus of the statistical analysis is the screening and management of patients and how it is affected by analog vs digital and lossy compressed digital. In all, there were 57 studies that figure in what we report. According to the gold standard, the respective numbers of studies of each of the four management types RTS, F/U, C/B, and BX were 13, 1, 18, and 25, respectively.
For each of the four possible outcomes, the analog original is compared to each of four technologies: digitized from analog original, and wavelet compressed to three different levels of compression (1.75, 0.4, and 0.15bpp). So the McNemar 2x2 statistics based on the generic table of Table 2 for assessing differences between technologies were computed 48 times, 16 per radiologist, for each competing image modality (original digital and the three lossy compressed bit rates). For example, the 2x 2 tables for a single radiologist (A) comparing analog to each of the other four modalities are shown in Fig. 14.
For none of these tables for any radiologist was the exact binomial attained significance level (_p-value) 0.05 or less. For our study and for this analysis, there is nothing to choose in terms of being "better" among the analog original, its digitized version, and three levels of compression, one rather extreme. We admit freely that this limited study had insufficient power to permit us to detect small differences in management. The larger the putative difference, the better our power to have detected it. Figure 15 summarizes the performance of each radiologist on the analog vs. uncompressed digital and lossy compressed digital using the independent gold standard. In all cases, columns are "digital" and rows "analog". Figure 15A treats analog vs original digital and Figs 15B-15D treat analog vs lossy compressed digital at bit rates of 1.75 bpp, 0.4 bpp, and 0.15 bpp, respectively.
Consider as an example the analog vs digital comparison of (A). Radiologist A made 23 "mistakes" of 57 studies from analog, and 20 from digital studies. The most frequent mistake, seven for both technologies, was classifying a gold standard "biopsy" as "additional assessment". Radiologist B made 26 "mistakes" from analog studies, and 28 from digital. In both cases, the most frequent mistake was to "biopsy" what should, by the gold standard, have been "additional assessment." There were 15 such mistakes with analog and 14 with digital. Radiologist C made 19 "mistakes" from analog studies and 19 from digital. With the former, the most frequent mistake occurred eight times when "biopsy" was judged when "additional assessment" was correct. With digital, the most frequent mistakes were for what was judged "additional assessment", but that should have been "biopsy" for five and "return to screening" for five. On this basis, we cannot say that analog and digital are different beyond chance. However, we note here, as elsewhere, that radiological practice varies considerably by radiologist.
The primary conclusion from these data and analyses is that variabilities among judges exceed by a considerable amount, in their main effects and interactions, the variability in performance that owes to imaging modality or compression within very broad limits. In other words, the differences among analog, digital, and lossy compressed images are in the noise of the differences among radiologists, and are therefore more difficult to evaluate. This suggests variations in statistical analysis that will be explored in other experiments.

Haringey CCG is supporting the national 'Stay Well This Winter' campaign to encourage people most at risk from cold weather, including those with long-term health conditions and the over 65s, to prepare for the lower temperatures.
Around 25,000 more people die over the course of each winter compared to other times of the year and there are a range of conditions worsened by the cold weather - 80 per cent of these deaths are accounted for by people with circulatory diseases (such as heart disease, lung illnesses and stroke), dementia and respiratory diseases (such as asthma).
Colder weather is not only associated with an increase in deaths but also has a significant impact on the number of people becoming ill, increasing the winter pressures felt by the health care services.
The campaign messages urge people to be ready for the colder season and to seek immediate advice and help from a pharmacist as soon as they feel unwell, before their condition gets more serious.
Here are some practical steps you can take to help you stay well this winter:
- Get immunised against flu - for some people, flu can lead to potentially more serious problems so we strongly urge everyone in the 'at risk' group to receive their vaccine, especially children who are more likely to get the flu and pass it on to friends and elderly relatives.
- Heat your homes to at least 18°C (65°F) and look out for those at increased risk of illness over the winter months. Cold and damp homes can contribute to poor mental health and social isolation, which are also key factors in increased winter deaths and disease.
- If you start to feel unwell and you need advice, call 111 or speak to your local pharmacist.
More information is available on www.nhs.uk/staywell or you can download our Stay Well this Winter leaflet.

Learning how to write the perfect pin description for Pinterest can mean the difference between you being found by your ideal clients and not showing up at all in their searches.
There are two parts to an ideal pin: the photo and the description. Given that Pinterest is a search engine, it's the description that is going to determine if you're found.
Below are seven tips for writing the perfect pin description for Pinterest to drive more traffic to your photography website.
What is a Pinterest image description?
A Pinterest image description is what is shown below the pin on Pinterest. A description can be either auto-filled from content on your site or can be added or edited by the pinner.
A pin description has three jobs. It helps explain what the pin is about, it helps the pin be found in Pinterest's search function and it entices pinners to click through to your website.
Do I have to write a pin description?
Ideally, yes. When you're adding pins to Pinterest, writing a bespoke description gives you the best chance of your pin being found and enticing people to your website.
It's helpful in a similar way to writing individual alt tags for each of your website or blog photos. If you've been doing that, you already have great skills for writing pin descriptions.
Doesn't Pinterest automatically add a pin description?
It depends. There are two ways of adding pins to your Pinterest boards. You can pin directly from your site, in which case Pinterest will pull through a description from your website or blog from existing content.
And you can add a pin while inside Pinterest. You upload a pin image, URL of where people should go if wanting more information based on your pin and a description. Note that Pinterest will force you to write at least one character in the description in order to pin.
#Tip 1: think about your ideal client searching
When we are researching keywords for our SEO, we often think about the searcher intent. What are people searching for and why? It's the same on Pinterest. Ask yourself what your ideal client is searching for?
Let's say that your ideal client lives in the US and wants to get married in a Scottish castle. They might search for 'Scottish castle weddings', 'Scottish castle elopements' or 'Scottish castle wedding photos'. At this point, they may not be searching for photographers, but if you come up in search for those terms, you could be hired ahead of anyone else who is writing a description optimised for 'Eileen Donan Castle wedding photographer'.
Notice that they aren't looking for the name of the venue or a city because they're at the start of their search and don't have that information yet. You could write other descriptions for similar pins which DO mention the venue for when your ideal client gets to that point, so you're covered in both situations.
Tip 2: Write a couple of keyword-rich sentences designed for humans
Now that your keyword strategy for Pinterest is solid, write for people to read. To go back to the Scottish castle example, you might say: 'Scottish castle wedding inspiration: a bride and groom elope to picturesque Eileen Donan Castle in the Highlands of Scotland'.
Or 'A bride surrounded by her three bridesmaids at her fairytale wedding at Dalhousie Castle, Scotland.' You get the picture.
Tip 3: Add hashtags to your pin description for Pinterest
Pinterest now encourages hashtags, after years of refusing to have them as part of its search. While hashtags on Pinterest still seem to be a work in progress, early feedback from pinners is that hashtags help with visibility.
So add a couple of hashtags to your descriptions. For the examples above, this might be something like #scottishcastlewedding or #scottishelopement
Tip 4: Maximise your pin description length
Pinterest gives you 500 characters for your description. This is roughly a couple of sentences and couple of hashtags, as we've described above. It's enough for including multiple keywords and phrases that describe your pin.
Do be aware that if your description is longer than 500 characters, Pinterest won't warn you until you are adding your pin to a board and stops the process, rather than allowing you to edit your description.
If you think you could be over the 500 characters, copy the caption to your clipboard before saving. That way, if it is too long, you can recreate your pin and edit your description to make it shorter rather than starting from scratch. (I have done this so many times – it is frustrating!)
Tip 5: Add a call to action in your pin description for Pinterest
Tell people what to do – it really helps improve click-through and pinning rates. It might be as simple as telling people to 'pin for later' or suggesting they 'click through to see the rest of this fairytale Scottish elopement'.
Tip 6: Split test your pin descriptions
You can split test your pin descriptions – try pinning the same photo with different descriptions and see which gets most repins and drives most traffic to your site.
You can check which pins have driven most traffic to your website in Google analytics. You find Pinterest traffic by looking in the Acquisition section and then under Social.
Tip 7: Mention other suppliers or related businesses
The chances are in many of your pins, that you can mention other businesses. If your pin is from a wedding, you could mention the Pinterest account of the relevant dress shop, florist, cake maker or venue.
You can mention a Pinterest account in the pin description by typing the @ sign and waiting for the dropdown, similar to using Instagram mentions. You may need to open another window and search for the supplier; not everyone has a Pinterest account and their account name may not be one that comes up easily.
It it helpful to the pinner (your potential client) to have details of fellow suppliers and the fellow supplier will receive a notification of your mention. It may lead to them repinning your pin and closer relationships between the two of you.
So there you have seven tips for writing the perfect pin description for Pinterest. Do let me know how these work for you and if you have any questions.
In summary, the seven tips for writing the perfect pin description are:
1. Think about how your ideal client is searching
2. Write several keyword rich sentences for humans
3. Add hashtags
4. Use most of the 500 characters allowed
5. Add a call to action
6. Split test your pin descriptions
7. Mention other businesses
