The Izmit Massacres were a series of massacres perpetrated by Kemalist forces on Greek communities in the region east of Istanbul historically known as Nicomedia between 1920-1921. According to one report, at least 32 Greek villages were looted or burned and more than 12,000 Greeks were massacred.
In March of 1921, journalist Kostas Faltaits arrived in Asia Minor (today's Turkey) sent by newspaper Embros to cover Greece's movements in the Greco-Turkish War. By the time he arrived in the region of Nicomedia (today's İzmit) - a region inhabited by a large number of Greek, Armenian and Circassian communities - Kemalist forces had already set fire to many of the surrounding towns and villages, leaving behind a trail of death and destruction. Faltaits came face to face with the fleeing survivors of these massacres, and was able to collect these valuable and graphic eye-witness testimonies which were published in both Greek and French at the time. Their stories include the mass burning of civilians in their churches and homes, rape and sexual torture of women, and the burning of children alive. The book also includes the observations of the Armenian Metropolitan of Nicomedia, Stephan Hovakimian.
Translated for the very first time in English and with a prologue by Tessa Hofmann, this edition puts into perspective the claims of mutual atrocities which both Greeks and Turks were accused of in this region. The events described in the book will shed some light into just one of the many chapters of the Greek Genocide, a genocide which claimed the life of approximately one million Greeks living in the former Ottoman Empire.
The current English translation of testimonies collected by Kostas Faltaits represents [...] an excellent initiative which deserves to be extended to the methodic examination of the three main phases of the extermination of the Greeks of Asia Minor. Prof. Raymond Kévorkian, historian.
It is a book that will benefit all those who are interested in the fate of the Christians during the collapse of the Ottoman Empire and can also be very helpful to younger generations who are studying those events in high school or in colleges and universities. - Alexander Kitroeff, Professor of History.
..this new publication in English stands as a small but important victory for those who study genocides in the sad and ever-present need to understand and try to prevent them. Faltaits's witness reports of the Nicomedia (Izmit) massacres will now hold up much longer against what Lincoln called 'the silent artillery of time.' Michael Kalafatas.
The accounts by Greek survivors in The Genocide of the Greeks in Turkey, of massacres, torture, rape, theft, and the destruction of villages, and the brutalizers' sheer pleasure in inflicting such suffering on fellow humans, attests to the depths to which humans are capable of descending. Thea Halo, author of Not Even My Name.
This is an important document about the Greek Genocide and deserves to be placed alongside other works of the 1920's such as the Black Book of the Ecumenical Patriarchate, George Horton's the Blight of Asia, and Edward Hale Bierstadt's the Great Betrayal. Theodore Karakostas, activist, author, writer.
With moving testimonies contextualized with scholarly and journalistic commentary, this book improves immeasurably our understanding of the Anatolian Greek genocide by Kemalist militants. The book helps to correct the omission of the Greek experience from the Armenian genocide literature. Hannibal Travis, Professor of Law.
Kosta Faltaits's book based on the evidence of the survivors' accounts brilliantly exposes the policy of the Kemalists to exterminate the Greek population of Nicomedia. The author using remarkable first-person accounts presents the chilling history of how the Turks tried by all means to eliminate one more Christian community of their country. Anahit Khosroeva, Ph.D.
As any researcher will tell you, primary source material is an invaluable resource. A first-hand account of any event provides direct context, placing the reader right into the time and place of the event in a way that a secondary source, such as a history book or article, cannot. To have primary source material written by a journalist, a person who writes well and is trained to observe, is priceless. 'The Genocide of the Greeks in Turkey', is such a document. Hariklia Heristanidis, author.

In September, 1922, Mustapha Kemal Ataturk, the victorious revolutionary ruler of Turkey, led his troops into Smyrna (now Izmir) a predominantly Christian city, as a flotilla of 27 Allied warships-- including three American destroyers-- looked on. The Turks soon proceeded to indulge in an orgy of pillage, rape and slaughter that the Western powers anxious to protect their oil and trade interests in Turkey, condoned by their silence and refusal to intervene. Turkish forces then set fire to the legendary city and totally destroyed it. There followed a massive cover-up by tacit agreement of the Western Allies who had defeated Turkey and Germany during World War I. By 1923 Smyrna's demise was all but expunged from historical memory.
In the hinterlands of the Smyrna district it was the Greeks who bore the brunt of the Turkish policy. In June 1915 a violent campaign against the Greeks burst into the Turkish press, while posters exhorting the Moslems to murder appeared suddenly on the walls of schools and mosques. Murders of from ten to twenty peasants each day culminated in a massacre of the Greeks at Phocia, and the deportation of several hundred thousand others, and the destruction of their homes and carefully tended vineyards in the region north of Smyrna."- p46
The Greek Genocide was extensively covered in the English print media.
Below is a chronological list of some of those news reports.

More than 60% of men admit to being unhappy with their bodies, but many are reluctant to take positive action to address the problem.
An independent *survey carried out by body contouring specialists Cynosure asked almost 1,000 UK males: Would you consider a body contouring treatment to make problem areas (stomach, flanks and chin) less flabby?
The survey revealed that only 13.2% of men would consider using non-invasive body cosmetic treatments to shift unwanted fat.
Fiona Comport, Marketing Communications Manager at Cynosure says: "Despite the fact that male grooming is no longer a taboo area and men don't think twice about popping into a beauty salon for brow shaping, spray tans and facials, many men still perceive body contouring as being predominantly female territory."
This was reinforced by 8.2% of respondents, who admitted that they would be too embarrassed to consider body contouring. A further 5.8% revealed that they would undergo treatment but keep it to themselves.
Instead, 26.8% preferred to stick to traditional methods such as diet and exercise to tackle these areas. However, figures released by the NHS highlight that eating disorders among males are rising, suggesting that men aren't necessarily taking the most sensible approach to addressing the problem.
Fifteen per cent of those surveyed said that they didn't know what body contouring was!

TUDI Sells and Installs the High-Quality Products and Systems You'd Expect From a Leading Industrial Building Contractor
When you're building or maintaining a high-priced business structure, the last thing you want to cut corners on is the equipment and installation involved in making the business operate efficiently and affordably.
That's why so many builders in the Pittsburgh area trust TUDI Mechanical Systems as their industrial contractor.
But beyond our quality, prices and workmanship, they also call us because we provide fast, courteous attention with a smile.
Put it all together, and that's the difference you'll enjoy when you call on a TUDI contractor to help you with any industrial building system needs, which include:
Roof top air conditioners
We'll identify and install the easy-to-maintain system that provides reliability and comfort for your commercial building for years to come. That includes energy-efficient ENERGY STAR® roof top air conditioners that help you control your structure's total energy costs.
Industrial boilers
Get the power and performance you need to keep your building's inhabitants comfortable and productive. A TUDI industrial contractor has the knowledge you need to install and recommend an industrial boiler system that is just right for your commercial or industrial facility.
Industrial chillers
Whether you need air-cooled or water-cooled industrial chillers, we have the training and on-site experience you need to recommend the chiller systems you need to support your facility specs today and well into the future.
Makeup air ventilation units
TUDI Mechanical has the knowledge to help you condition 100% outside air through various makeup air ventilation units (MAUs) using methods such as "once-through," "low flow" or "primary-secondary." Our industrial building experts know how to handle air, and how to keep air units running quietly and efficiently.
Industrial exhaust fan systems
Maybe you need to supply combustion air for burners or re-circulate air streams within or out of various areas. Whatever the need, TUDI contractors can outline the industrial exhaust fans and blowers that best suit your building, and expertly install and maintain them as well.
Building pressurization systems
Buildings need to be properly pressurized for human comfort, which often requires air to be compartmentalized into unique pressure zones. At the same time, building pressurization systems need to monitor and control the overall airflow leakage both within and outside the structure, and take into account normal wind conditions. As you can guess, structure height adds other variables into the mix. TUDI industrial building contractors can help you tackle the products and systems you'll need to effectively manage these many building pressurization issues.
Clean room air conditioning & filtration
Clean rooms require high levels of air purity while containing garbed personnel. These dual challenges make it essential that your HVAC contractor can ensure that the equipment used for clean room air conditioning and filtration are up to the task, including low noise and vibration levels. TUDI contractors are trained to attack the unique challenges of clean rooms, and provide the products needed for proper air conditioning and filtration in these fussy environments.
Industrial humidifier
Industrial buildings provide unique challenges when it comes to handling humidity. The amount of moisture and static electricity in the air is influenced by factors such as weather, carpeting, room space, equipment operation and even the number of people and plants in each room. TUDI building contractors are expert at measuring the footage and usage within industrial spaces, and installing industrial humidifier solutions that balance the comfort and control required to operate a business or manufacturing area effectively.
Heat pump system
Heating and cooling industrial spaces requires that your HVAC contractor knows which heat pump system will work best for your building and business requirements. TUDI has the brands and installation know-how to make sure your compression or absorption heat pump will power all of your heating and cooling needs effectively, ecologically and economically.
Tankless water heater
Also called combination or combi boilers, tankless water heaters heat water flowing through the device and don't retain any water internally. The main advantages are : long-term energy savings, unlimited and immediate hot water, less physical space requirements, and no risk of water damage due to tank failure or rupture. A tankless water heater may be just right for your industrial site, and TUDI is expert at installing these increasingly popular systems.
Industrial water heater
Whether your building is powered by gas or electric, we can identify and install the industrial water heater with the power and performance you need. With thousands of industrial installs in the Pittsburgh PA area, we enter your building already in the know and ready to go.
Geothermal heat pump systems
By taking advantage of the natural constant temperature of the earth, geothermal heat pump systems generate more energy and at a lower cost than other heat pump types. Because they enjoy higher efficiency and lower energy use, geothermal heat pumps are growing in popularity-and are part of the ever-expanding portfolio of industrial products and systems offered to you by TUDI Mechanical.

Growing Elderly Population and What It Means for Public Programs
The elderly population in the U.S. is growing older, and this fact alone carries broad implications for publicly funded health programs and the future quality — or lack thereof — of elder care.
New research published in the "International Journal of Epidemiology" takes a look at the U.S. senior population and what that means for the country's leadership. The researchers found that the total number of older people will increase by 135 percent between the years 2000 and 2050. In addition, the group of elderly age 85 and older, who will need the services of long-term care the most, will increase by 350 percent. By 2050, the number of seniors:
- Over the age of 65 will increase to 20.3 percent from 12.7 percent in 2000.
- Age 85 and older will increase to 4.8 percent from 1.6 percent in 2000.
While many countries are already dealing with the impact of an aging population, the U.S. will need to learn how to take care of this large portion of its population in the coming years. An aging population means more thought will need to be put into the organization and implementation of health care. Changes include:
- A greater focus on chronic diseases like heart disease, osteoporosis and Alzheimer's
- Greater health care needs in the face of health care worker shortages
What this means is that there will be a need to shift from one-time-visit treatments to long-term management of multiple ailments. Doctors and patients will need to develop stronger relationships to help aid care. The onset of chronic illnesses and disability also means that long-term care (i.e., nursing homes and long-term care facilities) may be needed.
The article notes that the U.S. will find it particularly difficult to integrate long-term care with the medical industry due to the fact that financing systems are so fragmented.
Another issue is the anticipated dearth of long-term care workers like home health aides and personal care attendants. Such jobs now are seen as somewhat undesirable due to difficult working conditions, hefty workloads and low pay. Registered nurses are already seeing shortages. That workforce will remain at about the same levels by 2020, which is 20 percent below forecasted workforce needs.
As our country moves forward, and the needs of the elderly become more pressing, we need to put an emphasis on their care so that cases of elder abuse become far more infrequent. If you have an elder abuse case, please call our elder abuse attorneys to help you through this difficult time. Please visit our website or call (800) 328-2630.

Six Benefits of Running a Branded Contest
There is a LOT of talk about the potential of social media contests these days. Holding a contest on your Facebook or Twitter page can be helpful to bring in more followers, but there are better options to help build your business. Why not hold a contest on your own website?
We help design, build, manage, and run branded contests on your website. The benefits of a branded, on-site contest are sixfold (or maybe probably definitely certainly more).
Bring in New Traffic
So, let's say you run a social media contest. People visit your Facebook page, some like the page, and even fewer visit your website. We set up a sub-domain (like contest.yourawesomesite.com) and build the infrastructure of the contest. Since the contest is run on your site, all traffic from social media outlets, press activity, and traditional marketing go directly to your own website (instead of Facebook), which increases site traffic and the likelihood that people will visit again.
Reward Your Current Customer Base
When you hold a contest on your own website, the likelihood is that current customers will be the first to participate. Rewarding your dedicated customer base (if you haven't yet, make sure you build a customer base) is just a tertiary benefit of creating a contest on your own site. Rewarding the customers you already have, however, is essential for keeping them.
Build an Email List
There are a million and a half ways to build an email list. Not all of them are great; not all of them are even legitimate. With voluntary entry of data for a contest, businesses can quickly grow their email marketing list. Absolute Web Services takes care of building contests from design to documentation (so we have you covered when it comes to the legalese of growing that all-important email list) .
Free Crowdsourced Photos
It's not always easy (or cheap) to find or create good images of customers using a business's products. In fact, it can be downright frustrating. With photo contests that take place on a company site, the right terms and conditions and rules and regulations can give you access to all the photos uploaded. Use them for marketing, product catalogues, or just to boost content management.
Engaging Customers
The strategies and activities that actually engage customers are changing. Just having good customer support and sending out a newsletterevery now-and-then is no longer effective. A contest that makes the customers or clients actually DO something is a great way to turn up the heat on engaging customers. Interactive websites and great graphic design can go a long way, but actionable events like contests are even better.
Creating Actionable Activity
Ah, the holy grail of content and advertisement creation. A call to action. A call to action or two is a great thing, but an entire contest designed to lead visitors to action is even better. Well-run contests lead participants directly to the main site to make purchases and buy products. Absolute Web Services takes care of contests from design to final delivery of the grand prize.

A Letter from a Simple Sadhaka -15.07.04
Dear Friends, Namaskar One thing I have learned from Gurudev is that patience and simple approach to life is more crucial compared to all the luxuries of the world. Gurudev had written to me saying that you have to know the meaning of Guru in comparison to Acharya. He wants to be a simple teacher, philosopher, guide and friend. Such a thought would only come to a Master, a Guru. He is the divinity the world has been waiting for.
He is a Karma Yogi. He is a person who can be approached easily. He does not stake any claims to be a super human/incarnation. He lives with his parents and is into the establishment of the centre that is literally unique.
He spreads the knowledge of the Lord without any hesitation. Tell me how many people are able to do this and you still want to burden him with the responsibility that he has to enlighten you. Friends, his load has to be reduced so that other people like us can also benefit. His knowledge is to be made popular.
More popular his knowledge becomes, drastically will the burden on his shoulders come down. He takes on the burden like Jesus took the cross on his shoulder because he feels others are not able to put their heart and soul into the role he wants to create for them. The day he realizes that people are there to sincerely help him out he would then unleash the burden and bring forth the knowledge still hidden in him.
Enlightenment would happen. Yes it would!
The power of energy is such. He is so simple that he would make it look like as if you are meeting a next door neighbour. He just creates a veil of ignorance and stops at nothing to make sure that his identity is not known to the world.
We have to make sure that it does not happen, the knowledge has to be given to world for which he has been working, giving no rest to his body. You can see that strain under his eyes, but he knows so much is still pending and the moment he rests he would lose out the option to create the centre. He has to be provided rest and this is possible only when every one of us tries. He creates a beautiful web of language that just confuses the person and the seeker forgets what he had come to ask initially. We are very small in comparison to him and this method is not new but as old as the Gurukula system.
I know him as he has taken the path of explaining the centre in terms of marketing and product concept but in reality it is the other way around. He is trying to bring the knowledge to the doorstep of every individual in the world. When he talks about religion then it is way beyond common people to understand but when he talks in marketing jargon, he brings himself down to the level of simple human being greedy for money, literally creating a mask of materialism.
His divinity is such that he just wants the knowledge to reach out to people free of cost. How many so called Guru in the world would do such a thing, spending their own hard earned income to support other people? He rarely asks because he feels others may be in financial crunch.
We have to rise above our own financial problems and bring ourselves to spread the knowledge, otherwise I know people who pass through the world without giving the knowledge to all. He has many times said that he does not have much time and we have wasted so much time on petty things. Much work and time is required to complete such a huge project and it is essential to provide whole hearted support to him as it may be the only good thing we may be ale to do in our whole life.
May the blessing of the Rudra be with all
A Simple Sadhak Rajeev Lochan
(Rajeev ji was one of the closest and dearest disciples of H.H. Maitreya. He became Swami Poornanda, and on the fateful day of 26th Dec 2004, we lost him in Aceh, Indonesia in the Tsunami. He knew of the fate to come and had taken the flight from Singapore right to the epicentre on 25th Dec 2004, after having entrusted his writings on H.H. Maitreya Rudrabhayananda to Catherine ( who was also disciple to Gurudev) saying that he might not be coming back.))

It's personal now. We're the proverbial canaries in a coal mine, perched down here on a barrier beach. We've been watching sea level rise and beach erosion for some time now. Sandy just blew the sand dunes between Gilgo and West Gilgo Beach flat out into Ocean Parkway. The Atlantic is now licking the side of the exposed, buckled roadway, giving it a taste of unobstructed ocean surge on to Long Island's 'mainland'.
The surge from Great South Bay left behind hundreds of millions in damages in South Shore communities like Babylon Village where our twins go to school. Considering that 22mi West down the coast at Breezy Point 110 houses burned down, things could've been way worse for us. "Never send to ask for whom the bell tolls," Donne wrote. "It tolls for thee."
I'm a sustainability director living unsustainably on a spit of sand between ocean and bay. Just driving our small, efficient cars to the mainland requires an extra 400 gallons of gas yearly between me and my wife. That adds almost 15% to our carbon footprint if, as I estimated five years ago, we, like average Long Islanders, emit 13.67t CO2/yr, or double the reported footprint of our neighbors in the city.
I was born in the city overlooking the East River and grew up with a view of the Hudson. Like many, I've always needed to be by a body of water. I had lived in cities most of my life, before moving with my young family to the barrier beach where I had summered since I was a kid. I particularly relish the quiet isolation of the off-season, the big sky that goes on forever offering world-class sunsets behind the Manhattan skyline.
An environmental purist in Papa Cuomo's administration proposed banishing all residents from our barrier beaches rather than extend leases a couple of decades back. Barrier beaches should be for 'passive recreation', permitting drive-by viewing only, no parking or beach-going. A half-dozen years ago a Babylon Town emergency responder made a comparable rumbling when I came across him taking measure of beach depth and littoral drift.
This encounter inspired "Barrier," a tale about a 10yr-old, budding naturalist living on a barrier beach who makes the acquaintance of a grumpy environmental engineer and they debate the natural order of things. Who will replace the grump if no one has been brought up caring about this place, the 10yr-old wonders? Philosophical barriers break down over time as each comes to learn from the other. Then, late one summer, a category 3 hurricane compels them to depend on one another.
We just witnessed a variation on this theme as the lean one joined hands with the mean one to reach out to all those devastated by Sandy in Jersey. "When a man knows he is to be hanged in a fortnight," Samuel Johnson reminds us, "it concentrates the mind wonderfully." Having slipped the noose this time around, I am left to reassess assumptions I had drawn from decades on the water's edge.
We now know that 900 mile-wide Sandy is the largest Atlantic storm in recorded history fueled by unprecedented late-season ocean-expanding warmth (+5°F) augmented by elevated levels of atmospheric moisture which was driven into a most unusual left turn by a "3-sigma" blocking high over Greenland following the largest Arctic sea ice melt in human history. Having seen decades of hurricanes spin up the 45° Jersey coast and head East I didn't, frankly, buy that one would take a 'louie' and head West into New York harbor. I can be excused for having gotten one part of the puzzle wrong as conditions have changed radically.
The other part I now know to be misguided is my worst case scenario. In advance of hurricanes, folks always offer shelter on the mainland and once it's blown through, they're the ones with the damage while we escape dry and unscathed. So I've remained, as I did through Sandy, based upon the calculus that I wasn't going to die, given my house of cinder block walls connected with steel I-beams and cross-hatched with 3"x14" old-cut redwood beams.
A post-Sandy bike ride down the buckled and duneless Ocean Parkway, clued me to the new abnormal. Not only will the ocean have its destructive way but so will its swollen sister waterways. No one in proximity of water is safe. Look at the Long Island Sound invasion of King's Point. Look at the inundation of Hoboken well North of the New York Harbor on the Hudson.
It was remnants of the old Coast Guard Station Gilgo emerging from the depths of swept sand that presented a most apt epitaph for this new Frankenstorm. Once a mighty turreted brick castle by the sea, its skeletal foundation evoked Shelley's lines:
"My name is Ozmandius, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!"
Nothing besides remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.
A climate activist called out at a Romney rally recently and was booed and drowned out by chants of "USA! USA!" You think anyone was shouting this chant at Sandy as she bore down on the Jersey Shore? Deny it, debate it, delude yourselves, but know this from someone who has been ringside at ground zero here on the barrier beach for 55yrs. The ocean is invading your shores, America, more certainly than any other threat you may choose to distract yourselves with. Forty some odd years ago, two commercials told us all we need to know: "It's not nice to fool Mother Nature," and "You can pay now or you can pay later."

Music fans didn't take long to snag the first allotment of tickets for 2013's Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.
Advanced passes for Coachella went on sale Thursday and were gone in about two hours, according to The Desert Sun.
Storify: Coachella 2012
The sale was expected to last one week, the same amount of time it took for advance sale tickets to sell out last year for the 2012 festival.
But fans who didn't get a chance to snag some of the early tickets will still get a chance in January, when tickets are expected to go on sale as Goldenvoice, the festival's promoter, announces Coachella's 2013 lineup.
Goldenvoice sold 68,000 of its 160,000 passes for the two-weekend 2012 festival last June, and sold the remainder in less than three hours in January.
It is unclear how many advance tickets were sold on Thursday, but as of the late afternoon, Goldenvoice was only selling passes as part of camping deals at Lake Eldorado, according the report. Those deals range from $2,000 for a two-person teepee with general admission passes to $5,200 for a four-person tent with four VIP passes.
Coachella, which is held annually at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, set weekly attendance records for the 2012 festival with a daily average of 85,000 people, according to the Indio Police Department.
Coachella, which was held for two weeks was named best outdoor music festival in North America for eight of its first 12 years, according to Pollstar, an industry watchdog.

Proper now, a number of Enterprise Intelligence implementers and analysts are attempting to choose right instruments for his or her BI implementations. Join our Talent Community to obtain updates about Business Intelligence Jobs matching your interests. Another management downside that may be encountered before the start of an implementation is a very aggressive enterprise sponsor.
The intensifying enterprise market makes it important that firms compete utilizing the power of analytical enterprise intelligence companies. However despite Eee's success, enterprise intelligence corporations weren't falling throughout themselves to create a brand new interface of the Eee.
Analysis without intelligence can't be performed … that is guessing and instinct (which nonetheless rely closely on informal intelligence.) Evaluation that is not Intelligent is dumb. The main argument supplied by vendors in favor of cloud BI is that it is cheaper than the more typical on-premises software.
Right here at Dresner Advisory Providers we'll publish a report on our first Wisdom of Crowds® Market Examine on Location Intelligence in February 2014. Enterprise Intelligence (BI) is a broad category of pc software solutions that permits an organization or organization to realize insight into its important operations by way of reporting applications and analysis tools.
Many organizations create a number of, uncoordinated and tactical enterprise intelligence implementations that end in silos of people, process and expertise. Within the sense enterprise intelligence simply means being smart about enterprise, which could men absolutely anything.

Something of a genius
When kids of my age were growing up in graphic design in the late Fifties, early Sixties, there was only one master. This guy. There were others who were terrific. Mostly Sydneysiders. And we had our very own Dick Beck in Melbourne. But Douglas Annand stood out head and shoulders.
Before we were aware of the rigours of the Swiss School, before we all fell dangerously in love with Milton Glaser and Push Pin, before all the Michaels had minimalised the West Coast and David Carson was simply the worst nightmare of a comp carrying a tray of type - we had Doug Annand to marvel at.
I remember making pilgrimages to see the latest Annand appendage to handsome new buildings in Sydney. The rich, glowing, unbelievable concoctions of compressed junk, twisted glass, and fire infuriated metals, magically morphed into seamless murals, screens and hangings that seemed to evoke that sealife, crustacean-strewn, sun-filled, beachside Sydney look that also pops up in the work of Annand's friend, Gordon Andrews, and certainly the painter, John Olsen.
Andrews says of Annand, 'He was a natural. He had no need for overseas travel. He had no need of influences. He just did it. He always knew exactly what he wanted to do, and he just did it.'
A Queenslander, Annand originally wanted to be a jeweller. His father thought the Bank more appropriate. The Bank it was, but by 1925 he took a job offered by a printer who eventually encouraged him to study commercial art. After one term he set up as a freelance and was self taught from then on.
By 1930 he was in Sydney and his distinctive spidery line began to attract attention. He was much in demand by the big, fashionable department stores of the day - Farmers, David Jones, Grace Bros, Anthony Horderns, and he worked for them continuously.
In 1939 he was appointed principal designer for the Australian Exhibition at the New York World's Fair. After that his reputation soared and he could pick and choose his clients. He designed other international exhibits for the government before the war intervened and he found himself in the RAAF as a camouflage artist with other leading designers, Geoff Collings. Ewart Collings, Alistair Morrison and Gordon Andrews.
The year 1948 saw the beginning of a relationship with P&O which lasted many years. He designed posters, fabrics, brochures, menus, and many murals for luxury liners like the Orcades and the Oronsay. He was the master of so many mediums. His watercolours won prizes including the Mosman Art Prize. His murals twice won the Sulman. His covers for the literary magazine Meanjin became collectors items. His stamp designs also. 'Nothing is wasted with me,' he said in 1969, referring to his love of materials, and his esoteric collection of oddments and trinkets, destined to find repose in the glittering three dimensional designs he concentrated on after the Sixties.
In 1975 he took his last trip to Europe. And when he died in 1976 he was busy making a stained glass window for a local church. 'Most who are familiar with his work agree that he was something of a genius', says Geoffrey Caban in his book A Fine Line. Count me in.

Here to stay
I absolutely love the duster coat trend that has been about so when I seen this one reduced I just had to get it. It is super lightweight material so is definitely something that you could carry through to summer and wear it with a dress and sandals. I paired it with a trusty oversized white tee, skinny jeans and my knee high boots. I have seen loads of people rocking this similar outfit on instagram. It is a very popular trend and I think it will be sure to stay for a while.

Professor Stephen Hawking visiting staff and students at Birzeit University, Palestine in 2006.
(Photo: Churchill College, Cambridge)
Update, May 8, 11:36 AM:
The pro-Israel website CiF Watch has published this statement from Tim Holt, Acting Director of Communications at Cambridge, confirming Hawking's decision was out of support for the academic boycott:
"We have now received confirmation from Professor Hawking's office that a letter was sent on Friday to the Israeli President's office regarding his decision not to attend the Presidential Conference, based on advice from Palestinian academics that he should respect the boycott.
"We had understood previously that his decision was based purely on health grounds having been advised by doctors not to fly."
The Palestine Solidarity Campaign has published a part of the letter Hawking sent to conference organizers:
"I have received a number of emails from Palestinian academics. They are unanimous that I should respect the boycott. In view of this, I must withdraw from the conference. Had I attended I would have stated my opinion that the policy of the present Israeli government is likely to lead to disaster."
Update, May 8, 11:22 AM:
British Committee for the Universities for Palestine (BRICUP) has issued the following clarification of Stephen Hawking's decision to boycott Shimon Peres's President's Conference. The statement below reaffirms that Hawking's decision to back the academic boycott was "based upon his knowledge of Palestine, and on the unanimous advice of his own academic contacts there."
From BRICUP:
UPDATE 8 May: The statement above has been issued with the specific endorsement of Professor Hawking's office. His staff sent us the following message on 7 May "Just spoken to Tim [Tim Holt, Acting Director of Communications for Cambridge University] and we are both in agreement with the quote – and as you say – sensible to get this out rather than a lot of differing opinions." We have seen the letter that Professor Hawking sent to the Jerusalem organisers giving his clear reasons for not attending and are seeking his permission to release the letter but will not do so until we have his approval. We regret the misinformation being circulated about this matter.
Michael Kalman reports over Twitter that Cambridge is about to retract the statement that Hawking backed out over health concerns:
@michaeldickson Cambridge U are about to retract the "health" statement. Boycott all the way
— Matthew Kalman (@MatthewKalman) May 8, 2013
Update, May 8, 9:00 AM:
There is conflicting reporting around Hawking's cancellation. Haaretz is reporting the University of Cambridge has said the cancellation was due to health reasons:
World-renowned British physicist Stephen Hawking canceled his participation in an Israeli academic conference next month due to health and personal reasons and not as a boycott of Israel's treatment of the Palestinians, the University of Cambridge said on Wednesday.
The university's statement came after The Guardian reported that Hawking decided to skip the Israeli Presidential Conference, hosted by President Shimon Peres, as a form of boycott. . .
But Tim Holt, media director at the University of Cambridge spokesman, said Hawking's decision was based strictly on health concerns.
"For health reasons, his doctors said he should not be flying at the moment so he's decided not to attend," said Holt. "He is 71-years-old. He's fine, but he has to be sensible about what he can do."
A University of Cambridge statement released earlier Wednesday cited "personal reasons" for his decision.
Yet, Reuters is reporting, similar to the Guardian, that Hawking's cancellation is in fact a protest. Reuters says Cambridge confirms that this British Committee for the Universities for Palestine (BRICUP) statement was approved by Hawking:
However, his name was quietly dropped from the list of participants earlier this week, giving a major boost to supporters of pro-Palestinian groups that want to isolate Israel on the international stage over the continued occupation.
"This is his independent decision to respect the boycott, based upon his knowledge of Palestine, and on the unanimous advice of his own academic contacts there," the British Committee for the Universities of Palestine said on its website.
Cambridge University, where Hawking works, confirmed that the statement had been approved by the professor. Hawking did not issue any statement in his own name.
Here is the full BRICUP statement:
We understand that Professor Stephen Hawking has declined his invitation to attend the Israeli Presidential Conference Facing Tomorrow 2013, due to take place in Jerusalem on 18-20 June. This is his independent decision to respect the boycott, based upon his knowledge of Palestine, and on the unanimous advice of his own academic contacts there.
Original Post:
The Guardian reports:
Professor Stephen Hawking is backing the academic boycott of Israel by pulling out of a conference hosted by Israeli president Shimon Peres in Jerusalem as a protest at Israel's treatment of Palestinians.
Hawking, 71, the world-renowned theoretical physicist and Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge, had accepted an invitation to headline the fifth annual president's conference, Facing Tomorrow, in June, which features major international personalities, attracts thousands of participants and this year will celebrate Peres's 90th birthday.
Hawking is in very poor health, but last week he wrote a brief letter to the Israeli president to say he had changed his mind. He has not announced his decision publicly, but a statement published by the British Committee for the Universities of Palestine with Hawking's approval described it as "his independent decision to respect the boycott, based upon his knowledge of Palestine, and on the unanimous advice of his own academic contacts there".
Hawking's decision marks another victory in the campaign for boycott, divestment and sanctions targeting Israeli academic institutions.
The Guardian adds that Peres's office did not respond to a request for comment on the story.

Making Salsa!!
I've mentioned in a few blog posts that I did not plant a garden this year. I've been very blessed by the neighbor down the road who has shared the bounty of his garden with us. He's given us green beans, zucchini, yellow squash, cucumbers, and as of Sunday, tomatoes! He gave us a huge amount! Said he and his wife had canned lots of salsa and tomato juice and did not want to see them go to waste. I told him I'd make salsa from them!! And then he went out and picked green peppers and jalapenos while we were there as well. I came home and weighed what I had.. 40lbs of tomatoes!
Yesterday while grocery shopping I picked up all the rest of the needed items to make salsa. This morning I got at it and gathered it altogether to make a double batch of my salsa recipe…
I began by coring and putting my tomatoes through my food processor. I do not peel them. It is an added step that to me is unnecessary. I've done it this way for years now, and never had a problem with using unpeeled tomatoes…
I put the chopped/pureed tomatoes into my big 14qt stock pot and then proceeded to do the same thing with all the other ingredients.. the onions, hot peppers (make sure to wear gloves for the hot peppers!!!), green peppers, garlic, and cilantro. I put everything into my big stock pot..
And then added the vinegar and spices and heated up and let is simmer for about an hour. The recipe calls for 40 minutes. A lot of the tomatoes were very juicy so I let it simmer for a little longer than called for…
Then I added the tomato paste and let it simmer for another 20 minutes. Watch this carefully as it can easily scorch during this time. Stir it often.
While it was simmering I washed my jars and got out my rings and put them in water to heat up… Then it was time to put in the jars.. put a lid & ring on and put them in the canner…
You use a boiling water bath for this recipe. I canned each batch for 15 minutes. I had 4 batches to do as only about 8 or 9 jars will fit in the canner at one time. In the end I had 30 pints of salsa along with a little leftover that I put in a bowl and my kids devoured it as they were coming home from work.
The recipe originally came from my friend Leah Hillman. I don't add the sugar as we don't care for sweet salsa. Also the heat of this salsa is determined by how many seeds you choose to include with your hot peppers. I took the seeds out of half the jalapenos and left them in for the other half. I used habanero peppers (which are very hot!!) too.. I added 4 to the whole batch. My salsa is quite spicy/hot.. but that is how we like it.. :)
Homemade Salsa for Canning
10 lbs tomatoes, chopped
6 medium onions, chopped
3 cups bell peppers (any kind), chopped
12 jalapeno peppers, chopped and seeded
5 chili peppers, chopped and seeded (this will make it spicy or milder, depending on the peppers you choose)
10 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 1/3 cups white vinegar
1/4 cup salt
2 tsp pepper
2 tsp cayenne pepper
2 tsp cumin
2 tbsp lime juice
3 cans tomato paste (the bigger cans, not the tiny ones)
Combine all ingredients except tomato paste in a large stock pot. Simmer approximately 40 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add tomato paste and mix well. Simmer another 20 minutes or so. At this point, I take out about half of the salsa, blend it smooth in the blender and then return it to the pot, but you can leave it chunky if you prefer. Ladle into hot jars leaving 1/4" headspace. Cap and process 15 minutes in a water bath canner. Remove jars and let cool.
This recipe makes approximately 15 pints.
The original recipe also called for 1/4 cup brown sugar and 1/4 cup white sugar, so if you like your salsa sweeter, add this in.
Thank you Leah for sharing this!!

Children from Gracehill and Galgorm Community Playgroup were welcomed to the district's waste water pumping station which is being given a £1.2 million upgrade.
The children gave a helping hand to plant out two large containers - made by NI Water's contractor GRAHAM Construction – to enhance the exterior of the site.
They were joined during the visit by Mid and East Antrim councillor Audrey Wales MBE.
The planting exercise follows a recent visit to the playgroup by NI Water, GRAHAM Construction and engineering consultants RPS, when the children learned all about the importance of water and site safety and prepared handprints to decorate the hoarding of the construction site.
Peter Ferguson, NI Water project manager for the Galgorm Wastewater Pumping Station upgrade said: "We are delighted to have had the opportunity to visit Gracehill & and Galgorm Community Playgroup recently to highlight the importance of water and looking after the environment to local children. These are our future generations who will benefit from investments such as this million pound upgrade at Galgorm Wastewater Pumping Station, and it's great to have their handprints on display at the site."
"We are grateful to the playgroup for their involvement in the planting and to Councillor Audrey Wales MBE for representing Mid and East Antrim Borough Council here today.
"I would like to thank the local community for their patience and cooperation throughout the construction period."
The Galgorm Wastewater Pumping Station upgrade, which will help reduce the risk of out-of-sewer flooding in the area, is due for completion around the beginning of June.
The project will provide a new pumping station at Galgorm and much-needed emergency storage at Cullybackey to help reduce the risk of out-of-sewer flooding.
The new wastewater pumping station is being constructed on the site of the existing station in Galgorm, located within the public car park at Raphael Way.
The area around the pumping station will be landscaped following completion of work.

These simple and stylish shades are perfect for heading from a barbecue to the beach this summer.
Made from sustainably-harvested bamboo, each pair is water-resistant and offers 100 percent UVA/UVB protection for all your warm-weather adventures.
The intriguing shapes and natural feel of the Wooed by Wood collection is inspired by founders Julia and Joh's love of travel, the environment and the great outdoors. While both took separate paths in life (Joh once worked in construction and Julia is a trained Ashtanga yoga practitioner), the duo uses their life experiences to drive their designs, and each product reflects their love of nature and the natural materials used in production.
"Mother Nature was the designer," the pair says on the company's website. "We simply lent a helping hand by following her lead." Read more here

In 1897, 8-year-old Virginia O'Hanlon wrote a letter to the editor of the New York Sun newspaper. "Dear Editor: I am 8 years old. Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus. Papa says, 'If you see it in The Sun, it's so.' Please tell me the truth; is there a Santa Claus?"
The Sun's front-page editorial response, penned by reporter Frank P. Church, has become the stuff of legend. "Virginia, your little friends are wrong." Church goes on to vigorously defend the power of faith and the unknowability of the universe, concluding, "Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus. It would be as dreary as if there were no Virginias."
It was perhaps inevitable that the story would enter the Christmas pantheon. A 1991 TV movie adaptation starred Charles Bronson and cemented the story in the popular folklore, while screenwriter Andrew Fenady later adapted his script for the stage. Though the production occasionally goes overboard on the schmaltz factor, the cast and crew have produced a charming, visually rich production perfectly timed for the holidays.
Frank Malle as Church and John Rogge as James O'Hanlon form the play's moral center, as well as offering the show's strongest performances. Fenady's script has fleshed out the historical tale, adding a subplot in which Church's wife and baby have recently died, turning the veteran newspaperman to drink. Malle brings credible dissolution to a man struggling to rediscover his faith, while allowing us flashes of the nerve, wit and humor that once made him great.
As the head of an Irish immigrant family scratching out a living in New York City, O'Hanlon struggles to find work and agonizes over the prospect of a Christmas without presents. Rogge's blue-collar hustle plays spot-on (and he does a mean Irish accent), but his performance flags in the second half. At one performance, by the time Virginia discovers a mysterious present under the tree, he offers a nonchalant (and inadvertently hilarious) shrug.
In the newsroom, Bill Spellman excels as Edward P. Mitchell, the gruff Sun editor who also narrates the story. As Church's ambitious colleague Andrea Borland, Sierra Taylor shows potential but settles into an inhibited performance that lacks the verve and gumption we expect from the staff's only female reporter. Chelsea Vivian, as Virginia's saintly mother, creates as much depth as possible with a one-dimensional part. Virginia herself, played by fourth-grader Sophie Massey, brings an incandescent sweetness to the stage.
With its frequent scene changes and short vignettes, the script is clearly derived from a teleplay, but set designer Neva Williams does excellent work, thoroughly and efficiently evoking an array of distinct settings, including the O'Hanlons' impoverished apartment, Church's bare bachelor pad, a bustling newsroom and a flea-bitten alley. Touches of realism — matches, typewriters, even a live animal onstage — enhance the verisimilitude. Costumers Pam Phillips and Debbie Perry juggle a large cast and still capture a turn-of-the-century Americana that somehow never feels forced.
The play is unabashedly earnest, but Church and James O'Hanlon's desperation seems all too fitting for a country still faltering through hard times. It may be too much to hope we'll see another generous gesture like Church's anytime soon, but this show offers a soothing respite for those needing salve and salvation for the holidays.
Yes, Virginia, through Dec. 16 at 2 p.m. Ojai Art Center Theater, 113 S. Montgomery St., Ojai, (805) 640-8797, www.ojaiact.org.

Welcome guests with a cold beverage and a classic symbol of hospitality--the pineapple.
Each glass in this festive set of two is fashioned in the likeness of an upside down pineapple, with the "fronds" acting as a footed pedestal. Their 10-ounce capacity and fun, tropical design make them the perfect vessel for serving island-inspired tiki cocktails or even tall glasses of refreshing lemonade.
