In the aftermath of That Video, Solange has deleted all but one photo of Beyoncé from her Instagram (via Jezebel). The picture that remains is from 15 months ago and also features Melina Matsoukas, director of Solange's "Losing You" video and Beyoncé's "Pretty Hurts."
Beyoncé has stayed silent on Instagram since the video hit the Internet, with her most recent photos being glamour shots of the outfit she wore to Mother's Day brunch. Her own pictures of Solange remain live.
UPDATE: Further Instagram digging has revealed at least one more photo of Beyoncé on Solange's Instagram page. Still, mass deletion does appear to have occurred.

New York Times Recognizes Discrimination Against Acholi; When Will Newspaper Expose The Genocide?
As for Africa, Mr. Obama's Kenyan father was of the Luo tribe, a minority that has long suffered brutal discrimination in both Kenya and in Uganda (where it is known as the Acholi). The bitter joke in East Africa is that a Luo has more of a chance of becoming president in the United States than in Kenya.
[Global: Africa And Obama]
The following article by New York Times' columnist Nicholas D. Kristof "Rebranding the U.S. With Obama," published on October 22, 2008
was the first instance in my recollection that this newspaper has ever referred to the discrimination suffered by the Acholi; it was a tangential but
important acknowledgment. The Focus of the article was on Senator Barack Obama's Luo heritage, and the fact that Luos are discriminated against
in both Kenya and Uganda. With respect to Acholis --that they are discriminated against-- the reference was perhaps the understatement of the century.
The Acholis have been suffering a genocidal war waged against them by the regime of Lt. General Yoweri K. Museveni and the leader of The Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) Joseph Kony. Hopefully, both Museveni and Kony will one day end up before the International Criminal Court (ICC) in the Hague.
The Kristof article follows:
She: Obama? But he's the black man, isn't he?
Me: Yes, exactly.
She: But surely a black man couldn't become president of the United States?
Me: It looks as if he'll be elected.
She: But president? That's such an important job! In America, I thought blacks were janitors and laborers.
Me: No, blacks have all kinds of jobs.
She: What do white people think about that, about getting a black president? Are they upset? Are they angry?
Me: No, of course not! If Obama is elected, it'll be because white people voted for him.
[Long pause.]
She: Really? Unbelievable! What an amazing country!
We're beginning to get a sense of how Barack Obama's political success could change global perceptions of the United States, redefining the American "brand" to be less about Guantánamo and more about equality. This change in perceptions would help rebuild American political capital in the way that the Marshall Plan did in the 1950s or that John Kennedy's presidency did in the early 1960s.
In his endorsement of Mr. Obama, Colin Powell noted that "the new president is going to have to fix the reputation that we've left with the rest of the world." That's not because we crave admiration, but because cooperation is essential to address 21st-century challenges; you can't fire cruise missiles at the global financial crisis.
In his endorsement, Mr. Powell added that an Obama election "will also not only electrify our country, I think it'll electrify the world." You can already see that. A 22-nation survey by the BBC found that voters abroad preferred Mr. Obama to Mr. McCain in every single country — by four to one over all. Nearly half of those in the BBC poll said that the election of Mr. Obama, an African-American, would "fundamentally change" their perceptions of the United States.
Europe is particularly intoxicated by the possibility of restoring amity with America in an Obama presidency. As The Economist put it: "Across the Continent, Bush hatred has been replaced by Obama-mania."
Steven Kull, director of the Program on International Policy Attitudes, which conducted the BBC poll, said that at a recent international conference he attended in Malaysia, many Muslims voiced astonishment at Mr. Obama's rise because it was so much at odds with their assumptions about the United States. Remember that the one thing countless millions of people around the world "know" about the United States is that it is controlled by a cabal of white bankers and Jews who use police with fire hoses to repress blacks. To them, Mr. Obama's rise triggers severe cognitive dissonance.
"It's an anomaly, so contrary to their expectation that it makes them receptive to a new paradigm for the U.S.," Mr. Kull said.
Europeans like to mock the vapidity of American politics, but they also acknowledge that it would be difficult to imagine a brown or black person leading France or Germany.
As for Africa, Mr. Obama's Kenyan father was of the Luo tribe, a minority that has long suffered brutal discrimination in both Kenya and in Uganda (where it is known as the Acholi). The bitter joke in East Africa is that a Luo has more of a chance of becoming president in the United States than in Kenya.
Yet before we get too far with the self-congratulations, it's worth remembering something else.
In the western industrialized world, full of university graduates and marinated in principles of egalitarianism, the idea of electing a member of a racial minority to the highest office seems an astonishing breakthrough. But Jamaica's 95 percent black population elected a white man as its prime minister in 1980, and kept him in office throughout that decade.
Likewise, the African nation of Mauritius has elected a white prime minister of French origin. And don't forget that India is overwhelmingly Hindu but now has a Sikh prime minister and a white Christian as president of its ruling party, and until last year it had a Muslim in the largely ceremonial position of president.
Look, Mr. Obama's skin color is a bad reason to vote for him or against him. Substance should always trump symbolism.
Yet if this election goes as the polls suggest, we may find a path to restore America's global influence — and thus to achieve some of our international objectives — in part because the world is concluding that Americans can, after all, see beyond a person's epidermis. My hunch is that that is right, and that we're every bit as open-minded about racial minorities as Jamaicans already were a quarter-century ago.

Anxiety over fears may speed up aging in women
(CBS News) You may have heard that worrying can give you wrinkles, but a new study shows anxiety may actually accelerate aging in people on a molecular level.
Telomere length suggests poor people age faster: Study
Older dads may pass along a longer lifespan to their child
Researchers at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston looked at blood samples collected from more than 5,000 women between the ages of 42 and 69, who were part of the data pool from the long-running Nurses' Health Study that examines aging and disease in women.
They were looking for the length of the women's telomeres, DNA-protein molecules that protect the tips of chromosomes within cells, guarding genetic information and stopping them from deteriorating.Studies have showntelomeres may be a predictive marker for aging and longevity.
Participants in the study also answered questionnaires about any phobic symptoms, and found a common form of anxiety known as "phobic anxiety" was associated with shorter telomere length in middle-aged and older women. Phobic anxiety is essentially the feeling of distress that arises when thinking about a fear, such as anxiety felt thinking about going to a crowded place.
People with the highest levels of phobic anxiety were shown to have telomere lengths similar to people who were a full six-years-older. The findings are published in the July 11 issue of PLoS One.
"Many people wonder about whether - and how - stress can make us age faster," study author Dr. Olivia Okereke, a psychiatrist at BWH, said in a press release. "So, this study is notable for showing a connection between a common form of psychological stress - phobic anxiety - and a plausible mechanism for premature aging."
She however added that the study didn't prove which came first - shorter telomeres or high anxiety - so more research is needed.
Shortened telomeres have been tied to an increased risk for cancers, heart disease, dementia and mortality. Last year, a study in PLoS One found people with lower incomes had shorter telomere lengths, which the researchers said could increase their risk for heart disease or cognitive defects such as Alzheimer's.

This section provides information about compiling MySQL Cluster on Linux and other Unix-like platforms. Building MySQL Cluster from source is similar to building the standard MySQL Server, although it differs in a few key respects discussed here. For general information about building MySQL from source, see Section 2.11, "Installing MySQL from Source". Beginning with MySQL Cluster NDB 7.1.3, MySQL Cluster is also supported on Windows platforms, and can be built on Windows from source. For information about compiling MySQL Cluster on Windows platforms, see Section 188.8.131.52, "Compiling and Installing MySQL Cluster from Source on Windows".
Building MySQL Cluster requires using the MySQL Cluster sources.
These are available from the MySQL Cluster downloads page at
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/cluster/. The archived source
file should have a name similar to
You can also obtain MySQL development sources from
launchpad.net. Attempting to build MySQL Cluster from standard
MySQL 5.1 sources is not supported.
In addition to any other configure options
you wish to use, be sure to include
--with-plugins=max, or , or
Either of these options causes the binaries for the management
nodes, data nodes, and other MySQL Cluster programs to be built;
it also causes mysqld to be compiled with
NDB storage engine support.
After you have run make && make install (or your system's equivalent), the result is similar to what is obtained by unpacking a precompiled binary to the same location. However, the layout can differ. These differences are covered in the next few paragraphs.
Prior to MySQL Cluster NDB 7.1.9, MySQL Cluster was not
compatible with the
InnoDB Plugin;
in earlier MySQL Cluster releases, only the version of
InnoDB supplied with the MySQL
Server could be used. Beginning with MySQL Cluster NDB 7.1.9,
you can build MySQL Cluster with
InnoDB storage engine or plugin
support using the appropriate
--with-plugins option for
Management nodes.
When building from source and running the default
make install, the management server binary
(ndb_mgmd) is placed in
/usr/local/mysql/libexec, while the
management client binary (ndb_mgm) can be
found in
/usr/local/mysql/bin. Only
ndb_mgmd is required to be present on a
management node host; however, it is also a good idea to have
ndb_mgm present on the same host machine.
Neither of these executables requires a specific location on
the host machine's file system.
Data nodes.
The only executable required on a data node host is
ndbd (mysqld, for
example, does not have to be present on the host machine). By
default when doing a source build, this file is placed in the
/usr/local/mysql/libexec. For
installing on multiple data node hosts, only
ndbd need be copied to the other host
machine or machines. (This assumes that all data node hosts
use the same architecture and operating system; otherwise you
may need to compile separately for each different platform.)
ndbd need not be in any particular location
on the host's file system, as long as the location is known.
When compiling MySQL Cluster NDB 7.0 or later from source, no
special options are required for building multi-threaded data
node binaries. On Unix platforms, configuring the build with any
of the options
--with-plugins=max, or
causes ndbmtd to be built automatically;
make install places the
ndbmtd binary in the
libexec directory along with
mysqld, ndbd, and
SQL nodes.
If you compile MySQL with clustering support, and perform the
default installation (using make install as
the system
root user),
mysqld is placed in
/usr/local/mysql/bin. Follow the steps
given in Section 2.11, "Installing MySQL from Source" to make
mysqld ready for use. If you want to run
multiple SQL nodes, you can use a copy of the same
mysqld executable and its associated
support files on several machines. The easiest way to do this
is to copy the entire
directory and all directories and files contained within it to
the other SQL node host or hosts, then repeat the steps from
Section 2.11, "Installing MySQL from Source" on each machine. If you
configure the build with a nondefault
--prefix, you need to adjust
the directory accordingly.
In Section 17.2.3, "Initial Configuration of MySQL Cluster", we create configuration files for all of the nodes in our example MySQL Cluster.

I use your information to provide the services you requested and in my legitimate interest to improve my services; and 2) Compliance with the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use. I use your information as necessary to comply with my obligations under the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
Information about my customers is important to my business. I share your personal information for very limited reasons and in limited circumstances, as follows:
Etsy. I share information with Etsy as necessary to provide you my services and comply with my obligations under both the Etsy Seller Policy and Etsy Terms of Use.
Service providers. I engage certain trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services to my shop, such as delivery companies. I will share your personal information with these third parties, but only to the extent necessary to perform these services.
Business transfers. If I sell or merge my business, I may disclose your information as part of that transaction, only to the extent permitted by law.Compliance with laws. I may collect, use, retain, and share your information if I have a good faith belief that it is reasonably necessary to: (a) respond to legal process or to government requests; (b) enforce my agreements, terms and policies; (c) prevent, investigate, and address fraud and other illegal activity, security, or technical issues; or (d) protect the rights, property, and safety of my customers, or others.

Access. You may have the right to access and receive a copy of the personal information I hold about you by contacting me using the contact information below.
Change, restrict, delete. You may also have rights to change, restrict my use of, or delete your personal information. Absent exceptional circumstances (like where I am required to store data for legal reasons) I will generally delete your personal information upon request.
Object. You can object to (i) my processing of some of your information based on my legitimate interests and (ii) receiving marketing messages from me after providing your express consent to receive them. In such cases, I will delete your personal information unless I have compelling and legitimate grounds to continue using that information or if it is needed for legal reasons.

How to Contact Me
For purposes of US data protection law, I, Mary Mills, am the data controller of your personal information. If you have any questions or concerns, you may contact me at email@example.com.
Most bracelets & necklaces can be resized, or I can make a similar one in your size. If you have an idea for a piece you would like me to design, or you would like an existing piece with some changes, please contact me at email@example.com. I do not charge for resizing unless I have to add a substantial amount of sterling silver or crystals.
Please remember that custom orders are always welcome so please contact me and let me know what I can do for you!
I require 50% of the item price up front before I start working on your custom item. Once the item is completed the rest of the balance is due before shipping.
All items, except custom stamped jewelry, will be shipped within 2 to 3 business days from receiving payment. Sterling Silver hand stamped jewelry will be shipped within 5 to 7 business days from receiving payment. I ship Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. The shipping fee includes the cost of postage, tracking, packaging, overhead and handling costs.
Sterling Silver will tarnish if left out in the elements. Contact with oxygen and sulfur in the air can cause your silver jewelry to tarnish. A tarnished appearance occurs when sulfur becomes bound to the surface of the silver. I have found that the best way to prevent tarnishing is to store jewelry in a plastic zip top bag with a square of anti-tarnish paper.
Do not wear your jewelry while showering or washing your hands. You should clean your silver jewelry with a soft cloth or a jewelry cleaning cloth. A jewelry cleaning cloth has two sheets of cotton; the outer layer is for buffing, and the inside layer contains special chemicals that will clean and shine the silver.
For wholesale information and pricing please send me a convo on Etsy or email me at email@example.com
My regular packaging is as follows: Each item is placed in a clear jewelry size zip bag with an anti tarnish piece of paper, it is then wrapped in tissue paper and then placed in a larger zip bag with care instructions.
I do not Gift Wrap unless it is requested and an additional charge of $4.00 will be added to your invoice.

Yahoo is stopping users from logging into its online services with Facebook and Google IDs and will expect them to use Yahoo IDs.
The new policy will be rolled out gradually and comes straight from Yahoo chief Marissa Mayer who hopes to resurrect the company's old Web mail and products, according to Reuters. The idea seems like it would be a no-brainer for Sunnyvale-based Yahoo, but it still took a while for the media company to start enforcing the use of its own logins. By easing users out Facebook and Google, Yahoo could garner increased page views and engagement.
The first Yahoo service that will use the Yahoo ID is Yahoo Sports Tourney Pick'Em, which focuses on the NCAA college basketball tournament which starts this month. More services are expected to follow suit. The buttons for Facebook and Google will eventually disappear from Yahoo services, but no definite date was discussed.

Sharp differences remained on Wednesday between congressional Republicans and the White House in talks to avert the "fiscal cliff" of steep tax hikes and budget cuts, and negotiators warned the showdown could drag on past Christmas.
Both sides refused to give any ground in public, one day after what U.S. House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner described as a "frank" conversation with President Barack Obama about the remaining hurdles to a deal.
Boehner said Obama's latest proposal for $1.4 trillion in new tax revenues did not fulfill his promise for a balanced approach to taming the federal deficit and could not pass Congress.
"I remain the most optimistic person in this town, but we've got some serious differences," Boehner told reporters after a meeting with House Republicans where he warned members the negotiations could run through the holidays and up to the end-of-year deadline.
If a deal is not reached, taxes will go up for almost all working Americans at the start of the New Year and steep government spending cuts will kick in.
White House spokesman Jay Carney said Obama would not relent on his demand that Republicans drop their opposition to raising new revenue by increasing the tax rates for the wealthiest 2 percent of all Americans.
"There is no way to do this without rates going up on the top earners," Carney said.
The Republican stance that sufficient revenue could be gained by closing tax loopholes and limiting deductions was "just not plausible economic policy," he said.
In what has now become a daily battle of sound bites and political stagecraft, a group of Republican congressmen posed in the cold outside the Capitol with a few dozen small children to illustrate their argument that Obama's budget proposals would bury the next generation in unsustainable debt.
"We are going to relegate these kids, our grandkids, to a lower standard of living," Republican Representative Sean Duffy of Wisconsin said. "We are going to leave them with higher tax rates. This is unacceptable."
Obama and Boehner each have proposed cutting deficits by more than $4 trillion in the next 10 years as part of a deal to avert the cliff, but they differ on how to get there. Economists have warned that failure to strike a deal could send the economy back into recession.
On Tuesday, Boehner rejected a White House proposal to shrink the amount o f deficit reduction that comes from revenue to $1.4 trillion from $1.6 trillion over 10 years. Boehner has called for $800 billion in revenue through tax reform.
Boehner said Obama's plan did not do enough to reduce the federal deficit. "The president and I had a pretty frank conversation about just how far apart we are," he said of their Tuesday phone talk.
Carney ridiculed the Republican argument that sufficient revenue could be raised by closing tax loopholes or capping deductions. "Those magic beans are just beans, and that fairy dust is just dust," he said. "It is not serious."
Boehner has repeatedly offered gloomy assessments of the state of the talks in public, even as signs of progress have sprouted on Capitol Hill. The pace of staff-level talks has quickened in recent days as the two sides exchanged counter-offers that neither side said was sufficiently detailed.
The stubborn differences have dampened hopes of a potential deal before the Christmas holiday.
"Keep your Christmas decorations up and make no plans" to leave Washington, was Boehner's advice in the closed-door meeting with Republicans, Representative John Shimkus of Illinois told reporters.
In exchange for more tax revenues, Republicans have demanded deep spending cuts in politically popular social entitlement programs like the government-funded Medicare and Medicaid healthcare plans.
House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi said that House Democrats objected to Republican efforts to raise the age when seniors become eligible for Medicare, which now stands at 65, as a way to cut government spending.
"Raising the retirement age does not get you that much money, so you're doing a bad thing when it comes to seniors, and you're not achieving your goal," she told CBS.
Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid said on Wednesday that Boehner and Republicans needed to make concessions on taxes.
"To this point there hasn't been a lot of progress, and I'm very, very disappointed," he said on the Senate floor.
Financial markets have watched the negotiations with interest. JPMorgan Chase & Co CEO Jamie Dimon said the United States could have a "booming economy" in a couple of months if lawmakers in Washington reach agreement.
A budget deal could mean 4 percent economic growth and a drop in unemployment, Dimon said at a New York Times conference in New York. A deal would need to link any tax increases with spending cuts, he said. "The table is set very well right now," Dimon said.
The stock market was closely following an announcement by the Federal Reserve of a new stimulus plan but the fiscal cliff was not far from investors' minds.
"This was expected, and the market is waiting for the year-end 'fiscal cliff' issue to be solved, so what we have to do is have confidence our political system can actually make a functional decision," said Troy Logan, managing director and senior economist at Warren Financial Service, in Exton, Pennsylvania.
Republican Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky suggested in a Fox News interview on Tuesday that to get things moving the House should vote on the stickiest issue – whether to extend expiring tax cuts to all taxpayers except high-earners, as Democrats want, or to everyone, as Boehner wants. Republicans would simply vote "present" on the Democratic plan, he said, allowing it to pass.

Former premier Frank Hsieh (謝長廷) yesterday returned to Taipei from a five-day visit to China and described the trip as fruitful, despite Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) members giving the landmark trip mixed reviews.
"We've achieved so much more than we expected. And we safeguarded Taiwan's values and dignity during the trip," Hsieh told reporters at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport on his return from Beijing, where he met three senior Chinese officials in charge of Taiwan affairs over the weekend.
Hsieh, who visited China in a private capacity, became the most senior member of the former DPP administration to meet with high-ranking Chinese officials.
During his stay in the Chinese capital, the former DPP chairman met with Taiwan Affairs Office Director Wang Yi (王毅), Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Straits (ARATS) Chairman Chen Yunlin (陳雲林) and State Councilor Dai Bingguo (戴秉國).
Hsieh said he proposed to replace the so-called "1992 consensus," which the DPP says never existed, with his initiative of "constitutions with different interpretations (憲法各表)" and urged Beijing to give Taiwan more international space during his meeting with Dai, who oversees China's diplomatic affairs, on Sunday afternoon.
Those meetings ended with no consensus because both sides found it difficult to accept each other's position, Hsieh said, "but we recognized each other's good will to engage in dialogue."
The veteran politician said his meetings with Chinese Communist Party officials were impromptu and not pre-arranged.
He said that it has been his belief that the cross-strait situation should "be positioned by the Republic of China [ROC] Constitution," but acknowledged that DPP members remained divided over the proposal.
Speaking to reporters yesterday, DPP Chairman Su Tseng-chang (蘇貞昌) did not directly address Hsieh's trip, but said: "The DPP's position [on its China policy] remains unchanged despite there being different opinions in the party."
"The international community always encourages Taiwan and China to work out differences through dialogue ... The DPP always insists that engagement between Taiwan and China should be open and transparent," Su told reporters.
Su reiterated that Taiwan should actively engage China with confidence because dialogue is essential for smoothing out differences and Taiwan would win out in the end because of its democratic values, openness and diversity.
While most DPP members and pan-green supporters recognized the trip as a positive step toward the DPP's reconciliation with China, some of them criticized Hsieh during the past few days, accusing him of a lack of transparency in meeting with the officials.
Former DPP chairman Yao Chia-wen (姚嘉文), former DPP legislator Lin Cho-shui (林濁水) and Taiwan Solidarity Union Chairman Huang Kun-huei (黃昆輝) were among the strongest critics of Hsieh's visit and proposals, saying that his initiative was not workable because the ROC Constitution remained highly controversial in Taiwan.
DPP Legislator Pan Men-an (潘孟安) said yesterday morning that people should not read too much into the significance of Hsieh's visit and that the DPP's position, which supports the normalization of trade relations with China while safeguarding Taiwan's identity and sovereignty, remained unchanged.
DPP Legislator Hsu Chih-chieh (許智傑) lauded Hsieh's effort to promote better ties between the party and Beijing, but said that Hsieh's initiative would not be able to replace the "1992 consensus" because "consensus and 'different interpretations' are contradictory and not interchangeable."

Carthay Elementary School's Garden of Possibilities is one of 17 recipients to receive a Seeds of Change grant, officials recently announced.
The Los Angeles school was awarded $10,000 to Carthay open its 5,000 square foot garden to the local community, offering workshops on seed saving, square foot gardening, garden cooking, soil conservation and composting as part of a broader effort to encourage healthy eating. The hope is that the school will become a hub for information sharing in support of healthy, sustainable living.
The Seeds of Change grant is part of a national program that will distribute $190,000 to support sustainable community and school gardens. The public voted from a very long list of candidates that included several local groups, including Lopez Community School Garden in Pomona, Long Beach Grows Unity Farm, the CORE Academy Outdoor Lab at Arroyo Valley High School in San Bernardino and Kindred Spirits Care Farm in Reseda.
The Seeds of Change Grant Program is funded by the brand's 1% Fund, the company's commitment to donate 1 percent of its global net sales to sustainable, community-based nutrition, gardening and farming programs.

If there's one upside to the economy's downward spiral, it's that gas prices are steadily getting cheaper.
According to AAA's Daily Fuel Gauge, the national average for a gallon of regular stood at $3.408 on Tuesday, down from $3.479 the week prior and $3.662 one month ago.
The decline in gas prices had been predicted by experts over the summer, but the steady drop of approximately 1¢ per day didn't begin in earnest until early September. From then on, drivers have been experiencing relief at the pump, though not quite as soon or in quite as substantial a way as they may have hoped.
To keep the recent price dip in perspective, bear in mind that one year ago, the national average price for a gallon of regular was a mere $2.71. As the Los Angeles Times noted, there has only been one year in history when gas prices were higher in the same week of the year: 2008, when the average for the first week of October was $3.48 per gallon.
(MORE: Entering the World of an Extreme Couponer)
Gas prices are expected to keep dropping due to a combination of turmoil in the financial markets and the falloff in demand that occurs every autumn, according to GasBuddy.com:
With the declines last week in the financial markets and no indications of immediate economic growth ahead, it's reasonable to expect retail fuel prices to continue to decline incrementally.
One interesting side effect is that cheaper gas prices tweak the demand for certain kinds of vehicles—and alter how much consumers are willing to pay for them. Used cars reached all-time highs in value in June. Since then, used car prices have dropped 6.6%, according to the latest Kelley Blue Book Market Report, and the dropoff in prices has been steeper with one particular kind of used vehicle:
Since June, values have declined 9 percent for fuel-efficient compact cars, with the most pronounced drops coming from hybrid vehicles such as the Toyota Prius, which has declined in excess of $4,000.
It's no coincidence that the decline in fuel-efficient compact prices occurred at the same time as a drop in gas prices.

It has been a whirlwind week for former Board President of the Woodmere Art Museum and former Chestnut Hill resident, Vivian Gast, and her husband, Bill, who hosted 70 people at their Ambler home during a horrendous storm on Saturday to raise funds for the Ndabibi Environmental Conservation Center (NECC). As of Sunday, the couple reached their goal of raising $8,000, and it appears they will go beyond that goal.
The journey will continue for another week as they host and take Josphat Macharia of Kenya, founder and director of NECC, to local environmental centers including the Weavers Way Farm at Awbury Arboretum, the Pennypack Farm and Alliance Center, and Morris Arboretum. NECC is considered a model for environmental conservation, teaching best practices in sustainable agriculture. Macharia spent two weeks in San Francisco before arriving in Ambler last week. In his first visit to the U.S., Macharia spoke of the culture shock. "I just had my first cheesesteak," he laughed. "It was different. Good, but different."
Macharia noted the many differences between the U.S. and Africa. First and foremost is the road system. They are so smooth here, and they all connect. At home most are dirt roads that have been washed out and filled with dips and craters. It is very easy to damage your vehicle," he added, noting that he often organizes unemployed young men to fix the roads, particularly when it could mean the loss of life.
If there is a sick person at the top of a hill, and I have to get to them with my outreach van to take them to the hospital, the road must be safe for me to make it to and from that point. I will work alongside the young men with my tools to fix the roads so that we do not damage the vehicle."
The vehicle, a used Toyota van, was purchased through money raised in a previous fundraising effort by the Gast family and friends last year. "He was doing all of his work and outreach on a bicycle. We realized he needed a vehicle to spread the word and educate neighboring villages," said Vivian Gast.
She and her husband were introduced to Macharia when they traveled to Kenya in 2004 to visit their niece, Gabrielle "Gabby" Wagner, who was in the Peace Corps there. Ever since then, the Gasts have been instrumental in fundraising in the U.S. towards several infrastructure projects including the installation of solar energy technology in 2007, construction of an 18,000-gallon water retention tank in 2008, and most recently, the purchase of the outreach vehicle.
Gabrielle, who grew up in Radnor, entered the Peace Corps in 2003 for a three-year tour, and the Gasts visited NEEC in 2004 and again in 2008. "I had always wanted to go to Africa, and now we had an excuse to go," said Gast in her sun-filled, historic stone home as Wagner and Macharia listened. "There were so many needs, including just basic water and firewood. We started prioritizing the needs and raising funds to address them one by one."
Macharia was given a teaching position in Kenya, but he had no classroom in which to conduct lessons. "First we helped raise funds for a social hall-type classroom that housed a TV monitor, DVD and VCR. Next up was a gas generator to run the electronic equipment. Our initial gift of several thousand dollars went far because Josphat is a clever man who respects the money," she said. "Then he built a cow shed, a rabbit hutch and goat shed."
From then it was onto building an 18,000-gallon water tank for use on five-acre farm Macharia donated to NECC. Families grow crops on the land, using the water for irrigation, and sell the surplus crops so they can buy books and school clothes for their children.
In addition, NECC plants trees within the compound so they can harvest the wood for firewood, their main fuel source. As we sat in front of a fireplace in the Gast home, Macharia commented that they would never build a fire just to relax in front of it. "It would be a waste. We would use it to boil water or cook food," he added. "I turn on the water here and turn it off very quickly; then I see an American leave the water on while going to get a pan or something from the refrigerator. It is crazy," he said in his thick Kenyan accent and wide smile.
During his Saturday presentation, Gast says, Macharia used his humor and observations to entertain and educate the guests. "Josphat was brilliant. He talked about his astonishment at being shown my sister-in-law's workout gym. He noted that Kenyans work out all day every day just to get by, so there is no need for a gym. The guests took to heart all that he said and were amazed at his accomplishments."
Macharia shared that he is still trying to get used to the flush toilet. "There is so much water that goes down with every flush. It is incredible," he added, noting that they have two rainy seasons in his country, and the rest of the time water is stored in the tank and used sparingly. "We use the water we have washed with to put down the toilet. That is our flush system."
In November, 2007, NECC completed installation of solar panels, bringing electricity to the center for the first time. "There is no electric grid in rural Kenya," he said. Last year, Macharia initiated a youth training program at the Centre, where mostly young men learn advanced practices in sustainable agriculture and environmental conservation. "We want to replace the obsolete farming methods in the villages." Last year, NECC served more than 900 youth and 900 adults from seven tribes at the center.
He said women do most of the work in a family. "I do domestic work like washing the children and cooking, but most Kenyan women do everything," he said. Wagner added, "Yes; many of the men just lie under the trees napping when they are not farming," explaining that most Kenyan men also practice polygamy, or the custom of having more than one spouse.
Wagner, who grew up in Radnor but now lives in Seattle, just finished law school and would like to embark on a career serving those in need of free and low-cost legal advice. She spent three years in Kenya after graduating from college with a degree in chemistry, mostly as a public health volunteer educating the people on water sanitation and HIV infection. "Kenyan people don't speak openly about AIDS," she said.
Macharia noted that in every lesson he gives he tries to teach about HIV and the importance of being tested. "I go and get tested about once a month, not because I need to, but I want to show the others that it is easy and that the results will be kept secret."
Macharia works in cooperation with his wife, Tabitha, in the operation of the center, along with his three children, who help out when not in school.
The money raised toward this trip will go toward two specific goals.
Right now we are asking for individuals to sponsor a child for one week at $130, or three weeks at $390, allowing them to attend the Youth Training Programme, where they will learn sustainable agriculture and environmental conservation. The second area most in need is the installation of sturdy fencing to keep predators and free-range cattle out of the compound. $10,000 is needed to secure the five-acre compound."
To make a donation, make checks payable to African People & Wildlife Fund, c/o Vivian Gast, 1411 E. Butler Pike, Ambler, PA 19002-2731.
For more information abut NEEC, e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
Macharia will give a talk on Tuesday, April 26, 7 p.m., at Mid Atlantic Renewable Energy Association (MAREA) at TEK Park, 9999 Hamilton Blvd., Breinigsville, PA., www.themarea.org

Steven Jay Griffel, Forty Years Later Author, Joins Mike Angley
MA: My guest today is Steven Jay Griffel. Steven was born in the Bronx, 1952. He tells me he, "met a beautiful blue-eyed art student in my junior year at Queens College (BA, Creative Writing, 1973) and married her in 1976. We're still holding hands." Steven studied American Literature at Fordham University, and he and his wife have two beautiful daughters, Sarah and Julia, grown and on their own. He spent his professional life in publishing, and he still works as a publishing consultant, though most of his time is now spent writing novels and talking about them. Steven is a frequent speaker and guest lecturer and especially enjoys leading book club discussions about his novel, Forty Years Later.
You told me you thought writing was a part of your DNA. How did you describe that, again?
SJG: I'm a born storyteller: sired by a father who never met a fact he couldn't spin into fancy, and by a mother whose bitchin' neuroses could make a grudge match of any relationship. From my father I learned there is no division between truth and fancy, just a wonderful gray area where imagination and ego could thrive. From my mother I inherited a genius for nursing regrets and grudges, so I'm never at a loss for reasons to rant.
I was raised on the colorful streets of the Bronx, where home plate was a manhole cover; where there was a pizzeria and deli on every other block; where there were always enough kids for a ball game; where it was okay to be Jewish, so long as you didn't piss off those who weren't.
MA: Well, that's a colorful life! How did you decide to write novels? Was it always something you longed to do?
SJG: I wasn't cut out to be a scientist or movie star or athlete. But I always had lots to say—and a talent for saying it well. In college I considered a career in journalism—until I learned I'd have to stick to the facts. I like facts, but I much prefer the novelist's god-like sense of entitlement. As a novelist I decide the facts. I decide who rises, who falls. If I need a perfect line I create it, rather than relying on interviews and research for my gold. Thus I prefer fiction, where the music and meaning of words have primacy over facts. . . . I just remembered a pair of wonderfully relevant quotes:
"Journalism is literature in a hurry." –Matthew Arnold
"Literature is news that stays news." –Ezra Pound
I like to think that my writing is meant for the long haul.
MA: Well said! So tell us about Forty Years Later.
SJG: A middle-aged man (smart, handsome, happy, successful) has a single, gnawing regret: a lost opportunity to make history. He has kept the regret alive for forty years, continually picking at the scab of its memory. A coincidence (Fate, if you believe in such things) reunites this man with a former teen sweetheart who is very much a part of his regret. The man is married with children, the woman is famously and formerly gay, and their reunion results in the kind of sparks that presage trouble. It is a tale of music, movies, murder—and madness too. It is also a story of love and redemption—except for those who are probably going to Hell.
MA: Oh my! So had did you develop your protagonist's character? Sounds like there may be a little of you in him…
SJG: Until recently, I too had a gnawing, life-long regret. Like a cancer that does not metastasize, it was annoying but not life-threatening. A complicated coincidence reconnected me with someone I hadn't seen in forty years: a successful screenwriter who is best known for writing about the subject that framed my regret: Woodstock. We met and hit it off—big time. Of course, I was happily married with children and wouldn't think of getting involved with another woman—but I have a protagonist; an alter-ego; a doppelganger, I suppose, and this fellow (named David Grossman) has been known to explore roads I dare not travel myself.
MA: So, what are David's strengths and weaknesses?
SJG: Like many people, the novel's protagonist is a miracle of contradictions. He is clear-seeing despite his blind spots; confident when not suffering from crises of self-esteem. He is a man who misplaces loyalties and manufactures jealousies. He loves and is loved but sometimes loses his way. All of which is to say, he's flawed enough to get himself into a royal pickle—and brave enough to see his way out.
MA: What about an antagonist … is there a unique "bad guy" or a recurring nemesis of any kind?
SJG: There is a brilliant, formerly famous lesbian screenwriter with a blind lover and hip-hop son, who becomes a vengeful alcoholic with a particular fondness for dangerously sharp objects. Unique enough?
MA: (Smiling) Okay, so did any of your real-life experiences factor into the plot at all?
SJG: I also nurtured a life-long regret tied to someone I had not seen in forty years. We were reunited. Sparks flew. . . . Note: The real-life tale is private and tame and not worth the telling in this space. However, the novel it inspired is rip-roarin'. But it is not a story for the faint of heart or for those of unbending scruples. It is tale signifying: One is never too old to change; Beware what you wish for; There is no greater grace than tried and true love.
MA: Excellent! So what's next for you?
SJG: I am working on a new novel called The Ex-Convert. It is, loosely speaking, a sequel to Forty Years Later. Though I am now in the enviable position of having a publisher waiting for my next book, I have no guarantee of publication. My publisher believes I hit a home run with Forty Years Later and demands I hit another one with The Ex-Convert. Batter up!
MA: An enviable position to be in…so will any characters from Forty Years Later migrate over?
SJG: David Grossman is the protagonist in each of my novels, and I haven't sworn off him yet. Having said that, he is not quite the same character in each book. His voice and sensibility are pretty consistent, but his circumstances vary: he has a wife or not; he has a family or not; he lives in New York, or not, etc. Expect to see him again in the Ex-Convert.
MA: How do readers get a copy of your book?
SJG: Forty Years Later is available as an e-book on Amazon.com. The download is incredibly fast and easy. And no special reading device is required. Most people enjoy Forty Years Later on their computer, PC or Mac. But with each passing day more and more people are using e-readers (like the Kindle) or tablets (like the iPad) or screen phones like the Android, Blackberry, or iPhone. In fact, one of my first readers sent me the following text message from his iPhone: "Reading Forty Years later at 40,000 feet—and loving it!" I also encourage readers to friend me on Facebook and share their thoughts. It's a digital dawn!
MA: Well, thanks, Steven. Folks, please visit these websites for more information about Forty Years Later and Steven Jay Griffel!

The title of this article is conjectural. Although it is based on canonical information, the actual name is a conjecture and may be supplanted at any time by additional information released from canonical sources. If this occurs, please move this page to the appropriate title.
- Harry Potter: "Can you taste [the food] if you walk though it?"
- Portly ghost: "Almost."
- — Harry Potter asks the ghost if he can taste rotten food[src]
This ghost attended Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington's five-hundredth Deathday party on 31 October, 1992. He was described as portly. He floated through spoiled food and claimed that he could almost taste it.[1]
Behind the scenes
- It is unknown if this ghost resided at Hogwarts Castle or if he only came there to celebrate Sir Nicholas's Deathday.
- If the knight with an arrow sticking out of his forehead is Harold II and the ragged man wearing chains is Jacob Marley and connects to the fact that Sir Nicholas served the royal family in his lifetime it could mean that Nick only invited important people, which again could mean this is Daniel Lambert; a portly man, known for his unusually large size, and who had become a popular character after his death.
