(26) City Hall
Built: 1893
Address: 303 North River Street
One of the more elaborate buildings in the downtown is the City Hall which A.D. McKay built. Influenced by the Romanesque style, the building's front facade has all-round arched openings with large keystones. Hood molding appears around the second floor windows. Perforated stone work is used for a decorative device at all levels of the building and appears on the string course that separate the two stories. A series of pilasters extends up the central bay to the roof line. An entabulature covers the central entrance with a checkerboard, or "diaper" work above it. The cornice has a band of pointed arches and dentil decoration with a parapet wall above. A central, decorative roof cresting with pyramidal terminations is one of the embellishments of the building.
Only the left side of the building has been dramatically altered; it was enlarged for larger firetrucks. The upper floor was originally an elegant opera house.
Interesting Facts: City Hall throughout the course of its life housed the jail, post office, library, and firefighting equipment including a stable for the horse that pulled the fire wagon.

Electronic Medical Records Systems
Electronic medical records are computer-based patient medical records. Physicians' offices and hospitals throughout the United States are using them more and more every day. They offer certain advantages over conventional paper-based medical records. These types of records are useful in processing health insurance claims, and following up with patients. A major benefit to medical providers is the instant availability of data once it is entered electronically.
There are additional labor savings resulting from the elimination of paper-based records, as well. Electronic medical records are easily accessible and standardized for seamless use when required. They reduce the number of entry errors and difficulties with interpreting medical information. Having a patient's medical and contact information available can also be potentially life-saving. These records may prove fundamentally useful during critical medical events such as severe allergic reactions or heart attacks. By reducing errors and saving time, electronic medical records may help to reduce a large number of deaths.
Systems for electronic medical records have different strengths and limitations. In order to choose the right one, a medical practice can start by understanding how to assess the difference between systems. Medical record systems have different component software packages: patient medical records, appointment scheduling, billing or patient education. Patient medical records are an important component. That's why it is best to understand the software used to implement electronic medical records. Electronic medical records eliminate the need for paper-based data entry, but it still needs to be entered electronically. These systems use keyboards, and others offer data entry options via touch screens or verbally with the use of voice recognition software. The main objective in installing an electronic medical record system is to reduce paper-based records.

Why is it So Hard to Just Be?
Several years ago I volunteered in the kitchen at the Green Gulch Farm Zen Center near Muir Woods, north of San Francisco. A sign of instructions for cooks was posted that could not be missed.
Do one thing at a time, was instruction number one.
Speak only to ask for instruction, was instruction number two.
I don't remember much about the rest.
Here's what was important. When you're peeling carrots, just peel carrots. When you're slicing onions, just slice onions. When you're cooking, just cook. When you're talking with someone – which happens at another time than when you're cooking – just talk.
To do one thing at a time was extraordinarily restful.
To "just be" was (is) a relief. To do one thing at a time, to exist only in the present tense, is extraordinarily peaceful.
These past few weeks I've spent some time intentionally revisiting this "just be" experience at Green Gulch, observing what happens in order to write about it and share it with you in this space.
So here's what happened, step by step.
When all you are doing is the thing that is in front of you to do, that is a relief. Unmistakably, relief is the first thing I feel when I "just be" with the thing that is in front of me to do, even when that thing is simply to sit.
Soon enough, and predictably, my American sensibility of "do more" started nudging me. Get up, it said. Do something, it said. Strive, it demanded.
It was a lot like getting distracted in meditation. And just like in meditation, I practiced noticing the distraction and returned my focus to the thing that was in front of me to do.
Then the memory returned of how it felt in that calm, purposeful kitchen at Green Gulch. We worked quietly and efficiently. We prepared food for a community much faster than in other, significantly more chaotic kitchens where I've also worked.
The muscle memory to "just be" was still there, it turned out, and happy to respond when I called it back into service. The practice of focusing on one thing at a time, when repeated intentionally, carves a path of remembrance that was comforting to visit again.
Still, despite the relief and the comfort to "just be," I had to return my attention to the task at hand again and again. It kept trying to veer off.
This is what makes the practice so hard.
Our culture in the U.S. doesn't exactly encourage sitting still. There's always so much to do, and so much that needs to happen, and so much fear of missing out on something exciting if we dare to let ourselves sit still while everyone else runs ahead at mach speed.
Here's the thing. "Just being" – sitting still, or doing one thing at a time – hasn't yet made me feel as though I'm falling behind. On the contrary. "Just being" settles the flurry of thoughts and busy-ness in my mind and distills them, so that all that's left are the things that matter, the things that are going to move the needle, and the thing that is just then in front of me to do. The demand to strive, to not fall behind, is never far away. At least now we have a clearer roadmap of the most personally resonant ways to get there.
The practice is in the return, over and over. Eventually we come upon the reward.
The reward might be simply finishing the project we're working on, quickly and efficiently. That in itself is plenty.
The reward might be the pleasure of immersing ourselves into the flow, of being untethered to flyaway thoughts that threaten to unground us.
The reward might be the refreshment of a mental break from multi-tasking, and a renewed energy for the next one thing that we need to do, and the next one thing after that.
The reward might be the stillness of concentrated thought, and the quiet to listen to our inner intelligence.
What's it like for you to "just be" with yourself? To "just do" the one thing at a time that is in front of you to do? To be one person who is doing one thing, and that's it.
It's enough.

How I Keep It Together To Stay Well:
Mornings are important. When I first open my eyes, I pay attention to how I feel, what I dreamed about, what's happening in my body—all that good stuff. I write down my observations. I've been keeping a journal since I was a child. Then I try to start the day in a way that sets a positive tone: a coffee, a poem, a moment of quiet. I have been practicing yoga for about 20 years, and while I still can't rock Scorpion pose (someday!) I can show up on the mat. Am I sometimes riled unexpectedly so I wake up grumpy? Sure. Do I always have time for yoga? No. But I can almost always count on that moment just after I open my eyes, when life—even with all its challenges—seems clear.

In this Psalm, David gets poetic and descriptive about the power that lies in the voice of the Lord. You really get the impression of a building storm in this Psalm, as the words David use invoke pictures of thunder, wind, lightning, and rains. In my study, I really felt a parallel between the building storm in this Psalm and the building unrest in our world. As this short Psalm wraps up, there's one verse in particular that I loved.
Psalm 29:10 The Lord sits enthroned over the flood; the Lord sits enthroned as king forever.
Over the past few weeks I've had some moments of struggle, especially when I'm online. Facebook has been filled with people talking about and arguing over recent shootings and terror attacks. News websites are packed with stories about guns, murders, doom, and gloom. I stay up on current events, as I believe we need to be aware of the state of the world around us, but man, I have been really affected by just how prevalent all this dark talk has been. Facebook is a fun place I go to see what my friends and family members are up to. Lately, it's been a place to go to see people arguing about the awful events going on in the world. I feel like I haven't been able to escape it.
Then I read this Psalm, and the verse I shared above, and man, I just find a deep comfort in there. It feels like the world's going crazy, but even if the Earth falls apart God is lord over it all. As the verse says, He sits enthroned over the flood. The creator of the universe has a grand plan for this world and these people. It may not always feel like it to us down here, but God's in control. He's seen the events that are unfolding, and ultimately it all leads to the return of Jesus and the beginning of an age of peace and beauty and wonderfulness.
I hate that terrible things happen. I hate how shootings and terror attacks live on for weeks and months in endless media cycles. I hate how those who carry out these attacks get made famous by the media. I hate how these tragedies divide us and lead to angry arguments between political ideologies. I hate that this is the state of the world. But I love Jesus, I love the peace I have when I just think the word God in my mind. It fills me to overflowing. I trust in my Lord, and I trust in the promises of His word. There is a coming glory and a coming victory. In the meantime, there is a Lord sitting enthroned over the flood, and that Lord sits enthroned as king forever.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
2 Thessalonians 1:5-8 This is evidence of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be considered worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you are also suffering—6 since indeed God considers it just to repay with affliction those who afflict you, 7 and to grant relief to you who are afflicted as well as to us, when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels 8 in flaming fire, inflicting vengeance on those who do not know God and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.
As I close this out I look at that verse I just shared and heavy on my heart is lost friends and family members. We live in a great age of patience, a time when God is calling people to Him and saving as many as will allow themselves to be saved. If you've got someone in your life that hasn't accepted Jesus as their personal savior, don't wait until tomorrow to do something about it. Tomorrow might be a day too late. Lift them up in prayer, ask God for direction on what you can do to help them towards salvation. Sometimes we like to ignore the fact that there looms a day of judgment, but what good does that ignoring do to those who still haven't accepted Jesus? There might be someone on this planet that's relying on you to bring the good news of Jesus to them. It can sometimes feel like the world is tearing itself apart, and it's just impressed upon me as I write this that sharing Jesus is so important in times like these. People need Jesus now more than ever before.
Father God, as I sit here and think about the darkness in the world I feel you nudging my spirit, reminding me to raise my eyes. Lord, let me be aware of my surroundings, but also let my vision hold true on you. You are above all these things unfolding. Father, help us keep our vision locked on you, your goodness, your love, and your plans for our lives. Help us to not let tragedies and scary situations define us, help us to remember that who we are comes from you. We are beloved children of Almighty God. Lord, there is quite obviously a building storm in this world, and your book tells us where it leads. Strengthen our resolve to be beacons of your light as the world around us darkens. Embolden us to share the name and news of Jesus louder and more often than we ever have before. And Father, lastly I just ask that you guide us and aid us in bringing our lost friends and family to you. Lord, the time is now, you are calling so many people to you, and Father, I want my loved ones to be among those who are being saved. Give me divine wisdom in what to say, what to do, any way I can help draw them closer to you and accept you into their hearts. Lord, I just thank you that you are our constant. That when I do look above the waves I don't just see a dark sky, I see a glorious, loving Lord who is enthroned above the flood. Thank you for loving us, thank you for this age we live in when there's still time for people to accept your great mercy and come to be one of your beloved children. I pray this in the precious name of Jesus, amen.
It's so good to be back working on my own computer again this week. We've got Psalms all week and that'll probably continue through the end of the year. Then January will see my study of Moses begin, which I'm really excited about.
I love all of you. I'm excited about God this week, you guys, He's just so amazing. As I was writing this blog today I just felt like God has something great in store for someone this week. If you're out there and reading this, walk in expectancy this week. God's gonna show His goodness and His power in lives this week, I just have a feeling about it. God loves us!

Auction with Entertainment coming right up/
This Saturday, May 5, at the Brass Heart Inn in Chocorua, the Arts Council's Benefit Auction with Entertainment is finally happening.

There'll be music (vocal and instrumental) and a story, along with a live auction, delicious finger food, and a cash bar. Please join us for a snack and a drink during the preview at 6 and be entertained by strolling fiddlers Allie and Siena. The evening's main entertainment gets underway at 7 with a story from Ed Fayle. Professional auctioneers Rob and Tom Troon will get the auction underway after the story. We want you to have a minute to stretch your legs and get another drink, so after a while we'll take a break, then have a little musical interlude with Stanza XXI and a couple of songs from Peter Heimlich. Then some more auctioning and a closing number from a different, as yet nameless, vocal quartet assembled just for this event.
See the list of auction items here. See you there!

Developing Executive Leadership in the Public Sector: Government Agencies Can Improve Their Management Effectiveness through Internal Leadership Development That Nurtures Key Skills, Behaviors, and Knowledge
Turner, Jeff, The Public Manager
Well-led organizations produce results. Effective leaders enable organizations to innovate, respond to changes in markets and environments, creatively address challenges, and sustain high performance. Effective leadership creates a culture that engages employees and clients and promotes focus, energy, and spirit.
Good management goes a long way toward keeping an organization on track, but it is leadership that guides organizations toward strategic goals. And it is leadership that enables executives and managers to steer a course when organizations must tackle new challenges. Leadership development is a critical function of organizations.
Government leaders must succeed in the face of unique and complex challenges:
* Frequent changes in policy direction due to high turnover rates in elected and appointed leadership and hyper-responsiveness of political leaders to topical issues
* An employee distrust of transient political leaders that migrates to relationships with career leaders
* Competing goals, missions, and mandates
* Chronic resource shortages
* Competition with the higher-paying private sector for top talent.
Huge problems face America's public agencies, from epidemics to aging infrastructure, to uninsured children, to overcrowded jails and prisons. Clearly, public-sector leadership is enormously challenging and requires individuals with the right experience and training.
America's Public Leadership Crisis
Despite the critical functions American public agencies perform, they are experiencing a leadership crisis. According to the Partnership for Public Service's the Best Places to Work in the Federal Government 2007, the key driver of employee satisfaction in the federal workplace is leadership, yet employees rank effective leadership near the bottom of a list of existing environmental criteria in that same survey.
State and local governments' need for leadership is even greater than at the federal level. Many new responsibilities have devolved upon states and localities at the same time that funding, training, and technical assistance resources have shrunk. Local government executives are also expected to lead strategic change, not only in their organizations, but in their communities.
The Solution
Ongoing leadership development programs are needed inside government agencies to create a "deep bench" of leadership capacity throughout the organization. Such capacity will position agencies to achieve their strategic goals. Leadership development is a dynamic undertaking that weds three critical components: (1) the organization's specific mission and culture, (2) the individual's personality and strengths, and (3) organization-specific leadership behaviors, skills, and knowledge. In the public sector, this process does not require extraordinary resources or political support. In fact, the best leadership development programs are those that embed themselves in the organization such that they weather changes in administrations, organizational restructures, and resources.
Executive Leadership Indicators
Researchers and management theorists posit many ideas about what leadership is and how it can be measured. The literature frequently emphasizes several indicators, including self-knowledge, personal accountability, strategy setting, engaging others, and harnessing insights.
Knowing one's own values and motivations; making explicit one's personal vision, beliefs, and aspirations; and being able to observe one's own conduct are critical leadership traits. Self-knowledge enables executives to dispassionately assess how their leadership impacts their organization and helps them identify skills gaps.
Personal Accountability
Like it or not, leaders are accountable for organizational performance. Leadership requires a personal commitment, a willingness to step into the breach and take on the organization's challenges. …

The Eucalyptus series
I haven't posted here for a very long time. Back to school time and then work were a bit eventful, and then I had so many things I wanted to talk about that I procrastinated.
So, let's start with a project I did last month. It's a series of paintings, on the same subject, slightly different, from references ( sketches and pictures) I took of a eucalyptus tree in my street. Ideally I would have made this on site every time, it wouldn't have been much of a problem...except we live in paranoid California and I don't think my neighbors would have appreciated to find me sitting in the street drawing every other day, at the same hour, on the spot.
I started it as an exercise to see how I would improve if I was free from analyzing the scene to value subject and colors, and test different sketching tools. After 15 sketches I still favor the color pencils, but I'll let you be judge (if you feel so inclined).
I decided to show it here like on a wall, all pictures in one post, with little shadows, on purpose, because it will be a bit confusing and I love design jokes. Enjoy!
I made all these watercolors on postcard paper, and they will now fly to friends an family who encouraged me when I was learning to paint, as a hello and thank you!

Los Tigres del Norte & Alejandro Fernández are bringing the "Rompiendo Fronteras Tour" to San Jose on September 21st
Tickets go on sale June 1st at 10am!
Click here to buy tickets!
Multi-platinum performers Los Tigres Del Norte and Alejandro Fernandez are joining forces for the 2018 ROMPIENDO FRONTERAS ('BREAKING BORDERS') U.S. TOUR- an extensive late summer and fall tour across the United States as part of Fernandez' ongoing Rompiendo Fronteras World Tour.
The tour will see the Pop And Ranchera superstar, and the Norteno legends bringing a heartfelt message of hope and support, along with a celebration of Mexican music, culture and heritage, to the Latino immigrant community in a challenging time – when they once again face the separation of families and challenges to those pursuing the American Dream.
Alejandro Fernandez latest album, 2017's Rompiendo Fronteras quickly vaulted to the top of the charts, making it his sixth #1 album in an extraordinary career. The album has produced hit singles, including "Se Que Te Duele," "Quiero Que Vuelvas", and the acclaimed collaboration with Los Tigres del Norte, "Para Sacarte De Mi Vida", which they performed live on 2018's Premios Lo Nuestro. Over the course of his chart-topping career, Alejandro has also collaborated with Christina Aguilera, Rod Stewart, his legendary father Vicente Fernandez, and, in what was one of the most exciting vocal combinations of all time, with Plácido Domingo and José Carreras for The Three Tenors. Alejandro has sold over 30 million albums, won two Latin Grammy Awards, the Billboard Hall of Fame Award and was awarded with a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Los Tigres del Norte are the undisputed legends of Norteño music. In a cover profile on the group, Billboard magazine declared the family of musicians as, "the most influential regional Mexican group in the United States… Los Tigres del Norte are not just another popular musical act…. Instead, they're widely viewed as the voice of the people." Explaining the importance of Los Tigres, the New York Times went even further, declaring them as: "Latin music's greatest statesmen… Los Tigres sell millions of records, regularly top Billboard's Latin charts and draw tens of thousands of fans to stadiums… In short, they are among the most popular acts in Latin music today." With more than 500 recorded songs to their credit, Los Tigres del Norte have sold over 37 Million albums worldwide, while notching 24 #1 albums, more than 50 #1 singles, and placing more tracks (66) on the "Hot Latin Songs Chart" than any other artist or group. The band has received countless Platinum records and numerous awards – including multiple GRAMMY and LATIN GRAMMYS, the Latin Recording Academy's Lifetime Achievement Award, and The Hispanic Heritage "Legends" Award at The Kennedy Center. Even after an unrivaled five-decade career, Los Tigres continues to be at the forefront of Latin music popularity – still performing regularly to audiences exceeding 100,000+ a night, debuting at #1 on the charts with each album and single they release, and continually blazing new trails for the genre.

A fascinating look at the world of cutting-edge geneticist George Church and his team of Harvard researchers.
Known for their work on the Human Genome Project, the Church lab is at the forefront of genetics research and technology. The Woolly Project is just one of the many. In this case, the Woolly Project seeks to clone and reintroduce the Woolly Mammoth into the world (kind of like Jurassic Park, but without the man-eating parts). It is hoped that the mammoths can help stabilize the melting of the polar ice caps and reduce the effects of global warming.
A very readable modern science book that raises lots of great discussion questions. A perfect non-fiction read for book clubs.

"Here are we, one magical moment"
There was a very sweet surprise on Thursday evening (April 12) for legendary sideman Earl Slick at The Sidings in Hoylake, Wirral. Earl had been entertaining a packed and very appreciative house during one of the venue's 'in conversation' evenings with stories from his life in music with David Bowie and John Lennon.
Slicky also produced his guitar and proceeded to slay the assembled throng with a few of his 'greatest riffs' from some of the biggest tunes in musical history, shouted out to him by the crowd. But it was during the autograph session that the tables were turned and Earl was in for the evening's biggest surprise.
From the line of fans, long time Bowie fan Paul Häggqvist stepped forward and reunited Earl with a gold disc originally presented to the guitarist for his work on Bowie's Station To Station in 1976. The award had gone missing in the 90s! Paul acquired the disc a few years ago and had a feeling its owner might like it back and so he travelled to the venue especially to deliver it in person.
Venue manager Kelsey Hodkinson said: "It truly was a wonderful evening having Earl with us here in Hoylake, he was an absolute star and when he was reunited with his gold disc it just topped off a brilliant night for everyone".
We'll leave you with a quotation from Mr Slick regarding this magical moment.
+ - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - +
"When Paul presented me with the Station to Station gold disc on Thursday night that had gone missing in the 90s I couldn't believe it. To lose something in New York and then for it to turn up years later in Hoylake (near Liverpool) is remarkable. Most incredible of all is the generosity of Paul Häggqvist, I'm really knocked out by this.
To all you folks that came to 'The Cavern Club' in Liverpool on Thursday afternoon and 'The Sidings' in Hoylake later that evening, it's not the size of the city that counts, it's the people that live there that make the difference. Thank you all for such a great reception. I will always remember it. See you all soon. ES"

Virtual Reality and Mental Health
This week, Professor Andy Miah took part in a panel at Sheffield International Documentary Festival, focused on virtual reality and mental health. VR's become a fantastic new way of engaging and developing understanding around our health, with vast investments coming from the health sector. Here are some of the thoughts Andy outlined ahead of the event, which was curated by Dr Erinma Ochu as part of the Wellcome Trust's collaborative programming relationship with Sheff Doc Fest.

STOCKPORT boss Chris Turner is hoping to see the acceptable face of Jekyll-and-Hyde County when his side takes on Bristol Rovers at Edgeley Park tonight.
County return to league action after their FA Cup victory at Hereford on Saturday, knowing that victories in back-to-back home games could lift them out of the League Two danger area.
"The whole team played how they should at Hereford, unlike at Mansfield the previous Saturday," said Turner.
"I've said it every week - we've got to be more consistent. That's why the players are at Stockport County playing in League Two - inconsistncy in their own games is why they've ended up here.
"We got the result we required at Hereford and now we've got two home games which means it's a good chance for us this week to have a good seven days."
The only downside of the 2-0 win victory at Edgar Street was that top scorer Jermaine Easter picked up his fifth yellow card and will miss tonight's game.
"I've been on four cards for ages, so I knew it was going to come it was just a matter of when," said Easter, whose third-minute goal at Hereford was his ninth of the season.
Michael Malcolm is the most likely replacement for Easter, with the former Spurs man linking up with Tes Bramble up front.
Midfielder Keith Briggs has a back problem and has not trained, but he should be fit for consideration for Saturday's home game against Darlington.
County's home game against Grimsby scheduled for January 7 has been postponed so that Stockport can face either Oldham or Brentford in the third round of the FA Cup.
