New Research: Community and Resident Engagement in CLTs
Resident and Community Engagement in CLTs
by Emily Thaden and Jeffrey Lowe
Read the paper at the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy>
In the past year, the Network has partnered with the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy to produce a new report on Resident and Community Engagement that may promote the outcomes of CLTs engagement efforts.
Network Board President Brenda Torpy comments on its importance:
"Community Land Trusts (CLTs) are doing all sorts of resident and community engagement activities, from organizing advocacy campaigns to holding neighborhood picnics. Nevertheless, little research and few resources have been available for practitioners to systematically think through their objectives and whether on-the-ground engagement activities actually align with these objectives.
This working paper by Emily Thaden and Jeffrey Lowe helps to conceptually map the rationale for resident and community engagement based upon the experiences of six well-established community land trust. Going a step further, the 'Discussion' section of this paper illuminates how the era and context surrounding a specific community land trust's establishment carries forward into ongoing practices for resident and community engagement.
I advocated for this research because of my belief that the 'C' in CLT is more than a nice way to bring people together to create community for its own sake, but rather a way to build and sustain our CLTs and to bring wealth and power to the people that we are here to serve. I hope this paper sparks a conversation about, not just why, but how community land trusts can build solidarity among their members to the lasting benefit of their missions."
-Brenda Torpy, Network Board President

Remember THIS POST a little while back about my fears of being a part time stay-at-home mom? I just re-read it and I sound like a crazy person. (mostly true) but I think it is funny how much I stress over the unknown. I stressed so much about how it was going to be as a stay-at-home mom, and always trying to get everything done while still doing the things that I want to do, AND be the best mom to Ellie.... before I even had a chance to experience it first. I tend to do that a lot in my life lately where I stress so much about something, then once I do it, it is not like I envisioned it to be. So what is the use in stressing so much?!
Being at home with Ellie more often is a roller-coaster. One minute I will be playing with Ellie and wondering why I don't have 5 kids already because I am in heaven, and then the next minute I am dealing with a tantrum that convinces me that one child is plenty for us. OH the joys!
I wouldn't change it for anything.
Most days I don't get any cleaning or cooking done, and some days I make a masterpiece dinner that I am proud of, and the home looks spotless. (When I say "some" days, I mean that has happened once. haha ) There are days when Ellie is in the best of moods, and some days that Ellie whines all day long. Some days I play school and house and dolls and puzzles with Ellie until we roll on the floor laughing, and some days I need to tell her to play by herself because I need to just sit and take deep breaths or finally take a shower for the day.
I am still working on nap times. OH, the dreaded nap time. SO hard to get this girl to nap, so some days I find myself driving around aimlessly until she zonks in the car. Whatever works, right? Motherhood is a constant learning process, and I am trying to take it one minute at a time.
Ellie instantly cheers me up, inspires me, and motivates me, and I am grateful for her sweet and spunky personality. She is growing up so fast and is at the age where I can have conversations with her and just hang out with her. She is our little buddy!
With that being said, being a stay-at-home mom is the best. It is the best because it stretches my patience farther than anything else, while also strengthens my love for her. It is the best because it makes me a little less selfish, and helps me get my priorities straight. It is the best because even after a tornado-of-a-day, we end the night with kisses and cuddles and it makes everything worth it.
Thank you to all of the advice that you guys gave me! I truly appreciate it.
Here is Ellie so excited for her first day of preschool! I just want to squeeze that cute face every time I see it.
Me trying to get a nap in. Definitely not going to happen with this ball of energy! haha But who needs sleep anyways?
Ryan added a bolt and chain to the top of Ellie's rock climbing wall, so that she can top rope! It has been fun to be able to get her on the wall every day while I belay her. She loves the code words that we say before each climb. "Climbing" "Climb-on"
Bike rides with Jasmine are a must!
Thanks to Pinterest, I can have her do little crafts that keep her busy while I get things done.
(even if she eats most of the cheerios in the process)
She kills me in her school uniform! This girl has sass for days....

Runkus releases EP "Move In"
It was the wide-brimmed hat, his lanky stature and lyrical dexterity that caught our attention in 2014. His performances at Reggae Sumfest, Live From Kingston and as Ky-Mani Marley's guest on a recent tour of the US, have fixed Runkus on the radar of early adopters as one to watch. The December 4 release of "Move Yuh Feet" – the first single from his "Move In" EP – signals a brilliant 2016 for Romario "Runkus" Bennett.
He grew up in Portmore, and was educated at Campion College in Kingston. Runkus credits his high school years for his diverse experiences of the "real world," which he says are evident in the multi-dimensional quality of his music. His verses are packed with puns & punch lines that keep you listening until the very last note. "
I want to move people; physically, spiritually, socially and emotionally. A lot of people are just existing and not feeling.
I want to inspire people to regain their consciousness and vibrancy," says Bennett. "Move Yuh Feet" is a dynamic dance anthem with a contemporary, yet classic composition and arrangements. Notes of jazz, rhythm and blues, reminiscent of Ska's heyday, amplify its appeal.
Runkus' previously released singles, "Run" and "Kindness", have received a warm welcome to the radio airwaves. Queen of Reggae Radio, Elise Kelly, has commended his "lyrical and musical brilliance," and affirms that "Runkus is revolutionary, mesmerizing and is going to be a force to reckon with." The "Move In" EP, produced by Oneness Records, is slated for release in January 2016.

Farmers fear wind, rain will damage crops
With his corn crop too young to cut, about all farmer Robin Chesmer can do is wait to see what Hurricane Irene brings and hope for the best.
"It could be devastating to our corn crop if we get some high winds," Chesmer said. He owns Graywall Farms in Lebanon, where he milks 400 cows and grows 500 acres of silage corn and another 500 acres of hay to feed them. "We've got our fingers crossed about how we're going to get through this."
Peter Orr, like Chesmer one of the farmers that make up the Farmers Cow dairy cooperative, is facing a similar prospect. He's done what he can on Fort Hill Farms, in Thompson, to prepare for the hurricane - making sure he's got fuel for generators, securing equipment - but can't do much about his biggest concern.
"There's nothing we can do for the crops at risk," he said.
Cutting his 300 acres of silage corn now, about two weeks before it would reach maturity, would leave him with inferior feed for his cows, far below what they should have for their protein and energy needs. A secondary concern for Orr is a corn maze that opened recently and brings hundreds of families to the farm each weekend through the fall. High winds and heavy rains could ruin the maze.
Both farmers have crop insurance that would help them recover from any losses.
"But it's a partial payment," Chesmer said. "By no means will it cover the full value." There has been one benefit to Hurricane Irene's anticipated arrival, Chesmer said. Retailers upped their usual milk orders by about 10 percent this week, expecting an influx of customers stocking up on groceries before the hurricane.
Another Farmers Cow member, Cushman Farms owner Jim Smith, said his 900 acres of silage corn "is nowhere near ready." He and other farmers said that because of a wet, cool spring, some of the corn crop is reaching maturity a bit later than normal.
They're also worried that rain expected today and over the weekend and during the hurricane will flood already wet fields, making it difficult to cut hay and making corn stalks more susceptible to toppling in heavy winds. Already this month, more than five inches of rain have fallen in the New London County area - about two inches more than the average - and rainfall totals for the year are more than four inches above normal.
At risk for Andy Burroughs, who owns B-Z-Bee Farm in Canterbury, is 30 acres of silage corn and another 60 acres of grain corn that would be milled for animal feed. He doesn't have crop insurance.
If the hurricane fells his crops, he said, "we'll pick up as much as we can off the ground."
"We've had losses before. We'll try to pick up the pieces."
The hurricane is also threatening fruit and vegetable crops. Karen Scott, who owns Scott's Yankee Farmer in East Lyme with her husband, Tom, said farm crews have been working to harvest as many ripe tomatoes as possible ahead of the storm. The fruit is vulnerable to getting blown off by heavy winds, or cracking if filled with too much water after a heavy rain.
To help sell the extra crop, she's reduced the price on baskets of tomatoes, but worries that if there are power losses in the region, people won't be making sauce and canning.
"I can still remember after Hurricane Gloria, it took weeks to get customers to come back," she said, because so many people were without power for an extended period.
Workers on the Scott farm also have been harvesting as many ripe peaches and apples as possible, she said. The farm was scheduled to start offering pick-your-own apples on Labor Day weekend.
Rick Holmberg, owner of Holmberg Orchards in Ledyard, said most of his apple crop "hasn't sized up yet," and fruit is still firmly attached to the tree branches, so he's hoping they'll withstand any high winds. The farm staff has picked as many ripe peaches as possible, he said, "but it doesn't do any good to pick fruit that isn't ripe."
Of all the kinds of weather his farm is vulnerable to, Holmberg said, "hurricanes are the ones we fear the most, because they can do the most physical damage, both to our trees and our buildings."
Lemke Valley Farms owner Paul Lemke said he and his farm crews spent most of the day Thursday harvesting as many tomatoes and peppers as possible. He's hoping for strong turnouts at the farmers market in New London today and in Waterford and Old Saybrook over the weekend, where he sells sweet corn, tomatoes and other vegetables.
"I'm afraid we'll lose all our late crops," said Lemke, adding that he does not have crop insurance.

Sculptured looks in wool and leather. Leandro Cano is a couturier. His intricate designs with impressive details demonstrate how to put a 3D twist on folklore fabric and how glamorous and extravagant a knitted coat can be (popcorn knit, like a human-height strawberry in wool white).
The Spanish designer is the only contestant who has included far more than eight looks in his collection. We're spoilt for choice! Curly haired Leandro lives for his fashion and over the last three months he hasn't slept for more than two to three hours a night. Before he became a fashion designer he worked in graphic design. That explains his understanding of visual concepts. The 28 year-old has always been fascinated by fashion, but it took him a while to work up the courage to give it a go. He was inspired by a presentation about mixing different fabrics – a concept that is still a driving force in his current designs, which merge tulle with wool (and vice-versa), combine leather with patterned folklore fabrics or knitwear with leather.
Leandro is aiming for the luxury niche, but he also has a concept for an affordable second line. His main line will mainly consist of show pieces, though! Leandro is ready to get started in the fashion world. All he needs now is a sponsor. His role models are Alexander McQueen (whose influences are obvious in his own collection), Viktor & Rolf (also evident), Thierry Mugler, Martin Margiela, Balenciaga and Marc Jacobs. Marc Jacobs because he is the man responsible for turning a classic fashion house (Louis Vuitton) around and putting art on the streets. Leandro would love to move to Berlin or London. He's currently taking English lessons and working as junior designer for José Castro. He could also envisage rejigging Givenchy, although he likes what Head Designer Riccardo Tisci is doing there.
Leandro said, "Amazing, amazing, amazing," about meeting Marc Jacobs. "I just wanted him to see my work. I was very impressed about how interested he was in everything."

Alpha's Heart, Book 1
Grace is a bounty hunter who wants to be taken seriously, but her boss refuses to believe that a woman can bring down a dangerous criminal. She finally gets a chance to prove herself when she's given the case of a lifetime: capture Raide Knox and bring him to justice.
Raide is a dangerous fugitive on the run...and the sexiest man Grace has ever met. Catching Raide won't be easy. He's not the kind of man to go down without a fight. Raide is more intense and frustrating than any man she's ever had to deal with, and the instantaneous attraction that sparks between them is undeniable. One thing is for sure...it's going to be a case they will never forget.
Hard to Fight is an entertaining read with a sassy heroine and an alpha hero. It starts off like gangbusters and keeps up its fast pace. Grace is in the untraditional field of bounty hunting and struggles to establish her role in that profession. She gets an opportunity to bring in a prominent bail jumper and seeks to use untraditional means to bring him. Raide has skipped bail, but he is wrongly accused and seeks to find the real perpetrator of his sister's murder. Along the way, he meets a super sassy "waitress" with a sarcastic tongue and kick ass moves.
I like Grace's character. She is funny, ambitious and very focused. Some of the best lines in the book come from her character. Lines like, "Are you going to attack me with your sword. . . . Or better yet, keep your sword sheathed and be a decent human being" has me laughing out loud. At the start, the book reminds me of the Charley Davidson series by Darynda Jones without the paranormal elements. They have the same irreverent tone that I enjoy. As I continued reading I found other similarities:
1. Both work at the periphery of law enforcement. Grace is a bounty hunter. Charley is a private investigator.
2. Both are very close to their dads while estranged from their mother figures.
3. Both have strife with their sisters.
4. Both have men who are attracted to them but whose affections are unrequited. Grace has Vance. Charley has Garrett Swopes.
5. Both heroes are a little dark and edgy. Both Raide and Reyes have been accused of a crime they didn't commit. (Reyes did get convicted but the judgment is later overturned.)
With so many similarities, it is easy to invite comparisons. Darynda Jones is an expert at balancing humor with heart and suspense. You can find a lot of those same elements in this book too. However, there are times when it feels like the author might trying too hard. Grace is a sympathetic character, but there are times when she is incredibly emotional and whiney.
There is also an odd voice change in Chapter 31. A third person, who has just recently been introduced, takes over the narrative. It is a jarring switch and I had to wonder if the author could've presented the same information through another character.
Entertaining and fun, this is like a good "B" movie.
Thank you to the publisher, author and Netgalley for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

Happy Humpday!
I am long overdue for a post. Some new and big things are happening in my life that I am dying to share with my readers! If you follow me on social media, then many of you already know. But for the rest of you… I just got engaged this week!
boyfriend fiance proposed to me on Easter in front of my family. I am the hardest person to surprise so this is sort of a funny story. He originally wanted to propose to me in New York City aka my dream city, but it would have been too obvious since it's hard for us to take a day off work to travel up there. Then he thought he would be sweet to propose to me at our favorite location in Gettysburg overlooking the battlefields. So he called off work and arranged for this to happen, but of course me being stubborn and difficult I didn't want to go down. I am literally the worst person in the world to surprise haha!
Instead, he decided to surprise me on Easter with my family around us. His original plan was to have an Easter egg hunt for me, but I said I was not hunting eggs unless there was money in them. I know, I know… I'm a terrible person lol! So he numbered the eggs from 1 to 14 and each egg had a sweet message inside. Once I opened up number 13, he grabbed the last egg from my basket, got down on my knee very nervously and asked me to marry him. I was speechless and kind of blacked out for a few seconds haha but then I said yes! I'm so happy we're engaged and that my family could be there to be a part of it. Hopefully he learned his lesson for future surprises and to let ME plan them ha!
Before the engagement went down, we colored Easter eggs together. Of course, I picked up 2 boxes of Marvel egg kits since I'm a total nerd. We made really pretty eggs and decked them all out in stickers… Iron Man & Spider-Man! Then we got up early Sunday morning and got ready for church. After church, we went up to my mom's for lunch where she made the cutest bunny bread ever! I almost didn't want to eat it, but alas, I took the rabbit's foot lol. Apparently, that brought me good luck because an hour later I got engaged 🙂 yay!
We left my mom's and headed over to my aunt's for even more Easter celebrating. Everyone loved the ring (as do I) and it was just a perfect/gorgeous day out. Got some sun, had a Easter egg hunt, and I got to see the baby! Apparently someone decided to hide an egg on the roof… I certainly was not capable of climbing up. I can barely reach the cabinets in my house.. short problems and all. It was the perfect day and I'm still thankful I got to be around my family and new fiance. It still doesn't feel real. No big wedding plans yet, as I want a long engagement. So stay tuned for news on that!
Also, either today or sometime this week, I will be posting about the 21 Day Fix. I'm currently NOT a BeachBody coach anymore, but I still love the products. A lot of people have been telling me to try it so I dived in and just ordered it for myself. I'm currently on day 3 and loving it. So I'll be posting details about that and I'll also try to keep this thing updated more. I've been slacking, no more excuses!
xo Brittny
UPDATE: I will not be posting about the 21 Day Fix this week as I will be participating in a challenge group starting next Monday. I will be posting weekly about that and my progress. Stay tuned!

To recap John Maynard Keynes Keynes's published his magnum opus, The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money in 1936, the work served underpinned economic management in the fifties and sixties but went out of fashion during the era of stagflation in the late 70s and 80s. But like the yoyo the General Theory bounced back into fashion after the credit crisis of 2008 and has been used as a justification for the interventionist policies during this recession.
Keynes' great break through was the concept of price stickiness – the recognition that in reality workers often refuse to lower their wage demands even in cases where a classical economist might argue it is rational for them to do so. This price stickiness in the labour market, helped establish that a shortage of "aggregate demand" may also lead to a shortfall in "aggregate supply", the combination of which may lead to mass unemployment – and in those cases, it is the state, and not the market, that we must depend on to boost supply (public spending). This price stickiness reached its zenith in the 70s when trade unionist preferred to see factories and pits close rather than see wages fall; and when business owners preferred to close plants down rather than invest for the future. But strangely this was accompanied with very high inflation, which contradicted the General Theory.
Keynes believed that without government intervention to increase expenditure, an economy can remain trapped in a liquidity trap where there is a perilous shortage of aggregate demand. Unfortunately for Keynes both Thatcher and Regan proved him wrong by dealing with the unexplained inflation and reinvigorating their respective economies with a mixture of monetary policy and deregulation. To this day Keynes still divides opinion with policy makers and central bankers. The key issue is whether the economic cycle and our response to demand shocks should be predicated on increasing demand through government intervention – more public spending (and borrowing) or whether we should rely on monetary instruments – interest rates and printing money.
To be fair to Ms Yellen she has spent much of her career modifying the Keynesian model to deal with the uncomfortable truths that emerged in the 70s and 80s, and she has allowed some of the monetarist thinking to enter her, not inconsiderable, intellect. Despite this mellowing her concern about the wastage associated with high unemployment has been the preoccupation of her working life. The compromise between Keynesian and Classical is best illustrated with this quote from Janet Yellen.
Stabilisation policy can significantly reduce average levels of unemployment by providing stimulus to demand in circumstances where unemployment is high but underutilization of labor and capital does little to lower inflation. A monetary policy that vigorously fights high unemployment should, however, also be complemented by a policy that equally vigorously fights inflation when it rises above a modest target level.
The new problem that Keynesian economist or Neo-Keynesians have to grapple with is the globisation of markets and capital. The huge flows of capital that wash around the world's highly liquid markets are a new factor in the economic cycle, as emerging markets have found to their delight and more recently to their cost. The problem for followers of Keynes is that a response to high levels of unemployment that forces down interest rates and raises debts may be the wrong signal to international investors. These flows of capital have certain advantages over public spending, as the capital is normally invested in programmes that mature relatively quickly and the flows don't increase public debts and they help underpin the value of currencies.
The current debt crisis in the US is a very modern accident in the making – old fashioned policies of monetary easing and very high government spending has led to an incipient recovery; as the politics further undermines the US as the premium destination for the world capital we can expect US recovery to be slowed further. All this is going to make Janet Yellen's job so much harder.
Apart from the tribal politics that Ms Yellen will have to contend with (if adopted) the main question I have is whether central bankers should tasked to implement policies to reduce unemployment or whether they should be concerned only with the level of interest rates and the supply of money into the economy. If you are an economist or a politician you should be interested in reducing unemployment but my guess is that we will be entering dangerous territory if politicians abdicate responsibility for levels of employment to their central bankers. Where does this leave the opportunity for politicians take ownership for the economy and to make the kind of bold moves that Thatcher made in the early eighties? The answer is that our politicians are increasingly becoming irrelevant to economic policy and that, whatever you think of their class, is a terrible mistake. If I was appointing a central banker I would make the remit quite simple:
• Make sure we attract our fair share of inward investments
• Keep inflation low whilst raising the necessary funds in the debt markets
• Keep the banks safe
• Leave everything else to the politicians

Science Daily: Evidence of Interbreeding With Modern Humans.
Among the findings, published in the May 7 issue of Science, is evidence that shortly after early modern humans migrated out of Africa, some of them interbred with Neanderthals, leaving bits of Neanderthal DNA sequences scattered through the genomes of present-day non-Africans.
"We can now say that, in all probability, there was gene flow from Neanderthals to modern humans," said the paper's first author, Richard E. (Ed) Green of the University of California, Santa Cruz.

With regards to the first part of the question, Edward Snowden has provided us with ample material to raise suspicions of some conspiracy aimed at allowing authorities to track all Apple users up. And you know what? I wouldn't dismiss such speculations off hand. I will, however, note that regardless of conspiracies, software defects happen all the time; they are a statistical inevitability.
The more important part of the question is therefore that second part, how do we prevent such disasters from happening again. I will tell you how we shouldn't go about: we should not go about the way Apple had done so far, keeping its code in secret in the hope that this secrecy would improve users' security. "In the hope"? Apple has been known to rave about its security for years; we all remember those "I am Apple" vs. "I am PC" ads, where Mr Windows PC was mocked for his insecurity. Clearly, the last laugh is on Apple's behalf (or more accurately, its users behalf).
Fact is, again and again we witness how security through secrecy just doesn't work (did I mention Snowden?). Luckily for us, we do have a model that works and works well, and that is the open source model: instead of keeping one's secrets in the dark, one publishes one's code and lets the entire world scrutinized it for weaknesses; and when those weaknesses are found, they are advertised so everyone can learn how to protect themselves. More importantly, when these weaknesses are advertised they also tend to be quickly addressed.
No, I do not expect Apple to reveal its source code to the public any more than I expect it to cease its tax avoidance schemes. However, us users do not have to wait around for Apple; we can just turn to the open source alternatives that are already available for us to use.

I have an eight year old stepdaughter and am now expecting my first child with my husband. How do we make sure this is a smooth transition for the whole family?
I would emphasize to your stepdaughter that she is "becoming a big sister, instead of that she is "getting a little brother or sister". Talk about the important role of being an older sister. Make lots of comments like "the baby will love listening to you and watching you" or "as the baby grows up she will be amazed at all things you can do" or "you will always have a younger sibling looking up to you".
Depending if she has other siblings, she may have a lot of questions. Keep the communication as open as possible. Ask what her concerns are if she seems concerned. When I was pregnant, my stepson's only concern was if the baby would break all his toys. It was easy to assure him that she would likely not even be in his room for the first year at least. 8 years is a great age difference too. She'll be mature enough to understand baby is a baby (and needs to be babied) but she has more privileges, freedom and abilities. You might just find that stepdaughter thrives in the new family atmosphere. A baby usually means more routine and consistency in a household. My prediction is that is will bring you all closer. Congratulations! Answered by: Sunnybrook works full time and enjoys growing food and raising chickens on a mini-farm in Victoria, BC. She has a 5 year old daughter and 15 year old stepson.

"Vocation does not come from a voice out there calling me to be something I am not. It comes from a voice in here calling me to be the person I was born to be, to fulfill the original selfhood given me at birth by God."
– Thomas Merton
It was the morning of the Rite of Election, a special step of affirmation in the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA). And I was eager. After all, I was one of five candidates for conversion to the Catholic Faith being warmly sent from my parish church to the glorious Cathedral of St. Paul for reception by the Archbishop. The days were drawing near when I would be in full communion with the Catholic church and I hungered for it. So, that morning as we sat in St. Bart's chapel with our sponsors and RCIA team leaders, I didn't expect the words of a friend, team leader and convert to have such a profound impact on me.
Lee was a veteran team leader with RCIA. A wonderful, bright and engaging person, Lee has succeeded professionally and personally due to her astute intuition and enviable organization. The story she told us relayed the process by which she converted. Years ago, as Lee drew nearer to the Easter Vigil, communion and welcome into the Church, she relayed to her RCIA guide, a nun, all of the steps that she (Lee) had taken to bring her conversion into being. With an admitted self-approving confidence, Lee relayed the choices she made, the deliberations she undertook, the discipline and devotion she possessed that brought her to the Church. The kind eyes and patient smile of the nun took in all that Lee had to say. Once finished and satisfied with the path she had constructed, Lee awaited her nun's sweet approbation. Instead, the nun responded with conviction,
"You didn't choose this, Lee. God called you here."
Evelyn Waugh was considered an intriguing, fashionable ultramodern mid-twentieth century novelist when he shocked his contemporaries by converting to Catholicism. His conversion generated significant chatter among the papers and spurred him to respond with a published letter, "Converted to Rome: Why It Has Happened to Me." As his most famous novel, Brideshead Revisited, would be considered by a movie studio for film adaptation, Waugh reportedly submitted a memo outlining the impact of the the Catholic Faith on his life,
"The Roman Catholic Church has the unique power of keeping remote control over human souls which have once been part of her. G.K. Chesterton has compared this to the fisherman's line, which allows the fish the illusion of free play in the water and yet has him by the hook; in his own time the fisherman by a 'twitch upon the thread' draws the fish to land."
Malcolm Muggeridge was a British journalist with an array of experiences ranging from cloak-and-dagger wartime intelligence operations to the documentary discovery of Mother Teresa. But in spite of his intriguing assortment of successful experiences, Malcolm confessed that he was lost in the midst of agnosticism, sexual impropriety and suicidal ideation. In a book about his conversion, Confessions of a Twentieth Century Pilgrim, Muggeridge reflects on a stanza by poet William Blake,
"[William] Blake writes of a Golden String which we are to pick up and wind into a ball as we go along. If we manage to hold on to it, he tells us, then it will lead us in at Heaven's Gate in Jerusalem's wall:
'I give you the end of a Golden String,
Only wind it into a ball,
It will lead you in at Heaven's Gate
Built in Jerusalem's Wall.'
– William Blake
Being received into the Catholic Church is a staging post for me in following the Golden String…Following my Golden String has led me into noisy newspaper offices and insulated radio and television studios; sent me questing for news in distant and strange places; had me telephoning and writing against the clock, and generalizing from meagre and often non-existent facts…I well remember my own first glimpse of Blake's Golden String, glittering in the mud of wilfulness; how I stooped to pick it up, supposing it to be a coin or some golden object, only to find that it was indeed a Golden String which I thereupon began to wind into a ball. Thenceforth I often lost it, treading it back into the mud wearing dark glasses, losing sight of it for days on end, but always somehow finding it again. I have it still wound into a monstrous ball, though now I am too feeble to carry it far. Even so, I remain confident that before long, with tottering steps, and sweating under its weight, I shall indeed find myself at Jerusalem's Wall with Heaven's Gate built into it."
The words of Thomas Merton. God's calling of Lee. The Fisherman's line of Chesterton and Waugh. The Golden String of Blake and Muggeridge. Each of these stories daze me with a staggering truth that I forget over and over again:
"I am not in control."
Granted, God gave me dignity, free will and an understanding of the value of self-discipline to achieve certain ends. But, repeatedly, I credit myself too much, rely on myself too much, and aimlessly follow myself too much when I should me more aware that my God is present, active and infinitely invested in my life. How do I miss Him? Perhaps if I were simply a little more quiet, a little more content and a little more humble, I would hear the inner voice, understand the call, feel the glorious draw of the fishing line and once again find the Golden Thread. Perhaps. Yes. Perhaps that's what I will do. May God help me.

Some people think that Superman is a boring hero, because he is so powerful. I can only imagine what they would make of Saitama, the bald headed protagonist of One Punch Man. The Man of Steel is at least weak to Kryptonite and magic. Saitama on the other hand is nigh on invulnerable and can down any foe with a single thump. As it turns out boredom is a two way street. Easy victories are not only dull for viewers to watch, but also for the hero as well. A crime-fighting career may sound exciting, but it really isn't when evildoers take less effort to dispatch than earning a platinum trophy on a Telltale video game.
One Punch Man is a thirteen-episode anime based on the manga created by the chap responsible for Mob Psycho 100. This comical take on the superhero genre stars a caped crusader who possesses herculean might. Forget super soldier serums, mystical mallets or getting zapped by lightning. Saitama earned his strength by following a strict daily regime of squats, push-ups and ten kilometre jogs. Sounds exhausting and not worth the hassle when you consider that the physical strain will make your scalp resemble the chrome dome of Captain Jean-Luc Picard.
The series takes place in City Z, a metropolis that is routinely harassed by giants, humanoid chimeras and effeminate sea dwellers. You'd think the citizenry would appreciate how Saitama protects their homes from danger, but alas his efforts seldom get noticed. It's tough to make the local news when you reside in an area boasting an overabundance of vigilantes. There's so many of the buggers that a union has been established to coordinate their activities. Media coverage is normally reserved for S-Rank guardians of justice. Saitama meanwhile is a lowly C list hero, because he flunked the written portion of the Hero Association exam.
Despite the lack of recognition Saitama manages to earn the admiration of a teen cyborg named Genos, who he eventually takes under his wing. Genos is for all intents and purposes the show's Vegeta. He's a powerful fighter in his own right, but more often than not gets beaten up by the villain of the week – in order to illustrate how mighty the antagonist is. Saitama can then step up to the plate and save the day with one uppercut, whilst the scrap pile that is his protégée looks on in awe. Over the course this collection Genos is "killed" so many times that he may as well wear a parka and start calling himself Kenny.
If the series was nothing more than a cour worth of one joke tales, were Saitama knocks out baddies, it would quickly lose its lustre. Thankfully the script is consistently funny thanks, in part, to the quirky support cast. Characters of note include an arrogant esper named Terrible Tornado, a high-speed ninja called Sonic and Puri-Puri Prisoner the camp strongman. Most of the heroes are goofballs, although I have to say that Mumen Rider succeeded in earning my respect. He may just be a regular Joe who travels to crime scenes on a BMX, but his heart is in the right place. Wow. It's not often that someone with a driver's licence has a good word to say about a cyclist. You should be proud of yourself.
My rating for One Punch Man is four stars. One of the funnier UK anime releases of 2017 and the opening theme song is a contender for manliest OP of the year. Given the current popularity of Marvel movies I imagine this satirical take on superheroes will be a big hit with many viewers. Action plays second fiddle to comedy in this series, but the fisticuffs we get are decent. Akira Toriyama clearly influenced Studio Madhouse both in terms of enemy character design and the high-octane nature of the show's brawls. Unlike DBZ, One Punch Man does however resolve conflicts in a speedy manner. Evidently the duration of a fight is directly proportional to the length of the hero's locks.

2015- Preoperative Delayed Gadolinium-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Cartilage (dGEMERIC) for Patient's Undergoing Hip Arthroscopy: Indices Are Predictive of Magnitude of Improvement in Two-Year Patient-Reported Outcomes. Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery
Sivashankar Chandrasekaran, MBBS, FRACS, S. Pavan Vemula, MA, Dror Lindner, MD, Parth Lodhia, MD, Carlos Suarez-Ahedo, MD, and Benjamin G. Domb, MD
Background: Delayed gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging of cartilage (dGEMRIC) has been used in the detection of chondropathy. Our study aimed to determine whether dGEMRIC indices are predictive of two-year patientreported outcomes and pain scores following hip arthroscopy.
Methods: Between August 2008 and April 2012, sixty-five patients (seventy-four hips) underwent primary hip arthroscopy with preoperative dGEMRIC and a minimum of two years of follow-up. Exclusion criteria were previous hip surgery, slipped capital femoral epiphysis, inflammatory arthropathy, Legg-Calv´e-Perthes disease, and arthritis of >1 T¨onnis grade. Patients were classified in two groups on the basis of a dGEMRIC cutoff of 323 msec, which was one standard deviation (SD) below the study cohortmean dGEMRIC index of 426msec. Patient-reported outcome tools used included themodified Harris hip score (mHHS), the Nonarthritic Hip Score (NAHS), the Hip Outcome Score Activities of Daily Living (HOS-ADL), and the Hip Outcome Score Sport-Specific Subscale (HOS-SSS) as well as a visual analog scale (VAS) for pain and a patient satisfaction score.
Results: There were sixty-four hips that met the inclusion criteria; fifty-two (81.3%) had a minimum of two years of followup. Twelve of the sixty-four hips had a dGEMRIC index of <323 msec (Group 1), and fifty-two hips had a dGEMRIC index of ‡323 msec (Group 2). There was no significant difference between the groups with respect to age, sex, and body mass index. There was no significant difference between the groups in mean preoperative patient-reported outcome scores and the VAS for pain. At the two-year follow-up, Group 1 had significant improvement in the mHHS, whereas Group 2 demonstrated significant improvement in all patient-reported outcome scores and the VAS. The improvement in all patient-reported outcome scores was significantly larger for Group 2 compared with Group 1. There was no significant difference in patient satisfaction between groups and no significant correlation between dGEMRIC indices and the patient-reported outcome measures.
Conclusions: Patients with a dGEMRIC index of ‡323 msec (less than one SD below the cohort mean) demonstrated significantly greater improvement in patient-reported outcome scores and the VAS for pain after hip arthroscopy.
Level of Evidence: Prognostic Level IV. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

14. Oh, how can I forget? The security and the office boys are so nice and they are out to please you if only you show them a little courtesy - say Good Morning and smile at them everyday - in other words, treat them as anyone else in the company
15. Get called Madam (or Sir!) - Oh, I just love that!

8. Collective employee morale (Somebody bitches about Anybody and the next day all the friends of Somebody in office hate Anybody!)
9. There's no one to pass on the low level jobs like formatting or cleanup. You got to do it yourself. Sometimes, it gets passed on to you but there's no way you can pass it on to anyone else. But in big companies, there are technical writers to do that kind of stuff :)
10. God save you if some office Romeo takes a fancy to you. Apart from getting teased mercilessly, you have to constantly ensure you don't end up being alone in the lift or corridor with the Romeo.

This beautiful time-lapse tribute to Manhattan covers everything from the city's plethora of tall buildings, to its subways and even some yoga in the park. Per Cameron Michael, this time-lapse video has been a wild and exhilarating ride, with a lot of physical work lugging 120-130 pounds of gear around all of Manhattan. He even bent (broke) some laws and made a ton of friends. I'd say the final product is very well worth it. Anything under the name of art, right?

Welcome to this week's Meet-Up Monday post. This week we head to the Pacific Northwest to meet Laci, our State Associate for Washington. Be sure to leave a comment and say hello!
PH: Laci, would you please tell us how you first heard about Project HOPEFUL?
LZ: I met Carolyn Twietmyer in Ethiopia while we were there for our first adoption. Selah was with her and was so sick and I just remember being worried she wouldn't be able to make it home. I started following Carolyn's blog when I got back to the states so I could check on Selah's health and that's where I learned about Project HOPEFUL.
PH: How did you develop an interest in HIV advocacy?
LZ: I became interested in HIV advocacy after bringing my daughter who's HIV+ home and being treated very badly when a group of people found out about it. I realized that when people don't know the TRUTH about HIV, they will fear it and where there is fear sometimes there is a lot of anger. I wanted to join Project HOPEFUL in spreading the TRUTH.
PH: Could you share with us your own adoption story?
LZ: In July of 2008 my husband and I went to Ethiopia to pick up our daughter who was 9 at the time. While there, we met her family including her older biological sister who was HIV +. I hate to say it, but I was actually relieved her sister was not available for adoption then because I just "knew" there was no way I'd ever adopt a child who was +. I thought I'd be putting my other children and myself in danger.
After about a year of being home though, I just couldn't get her off my mind. I'd followed Carolyn's blog and seen how healthy Selah was now that she'd been home and was receiving lots of love and good medical care. And I thought just maybe adopting a child with HIV might not be such a dangerous thing after all.
We prayed and God made it clear that this precious girl whom I'd feared because of her HIV was my daughter and we needed to bring her home. Of course we searched the internet and spoke with doctors and other adoptive parents and the more we found out about HIV the less of an issue it became. My daughter has been home a little over a year now and is happy, healthy and thriving. I cannot imagine our family without her.
PH: What about Project HOPEFUL are you the most passionate about?
LZ: My daughter told me after a few months of being home that after we brought her sister home to America she was very sick in Ethiopia. She wondered why we hadn't gone back for her. It was so hard to look into my daughter's eyes and admit that fear of HIV had been the reason she was sick and alone for so long.
I am passionate about Project HOPEFUL and the work they do because I don't want any child to suffer through life sick and without a family soley because of people's ignorance about HIV. I love being a part of spreading the TRUTH in love so that children like my daughter can be brought into families where they too can thrive.
PH: What do you want your fellow states-people to know about HIV adoption?
LZ: That there is no reason why children who happen to be HIV+ should be waiting for a family just because of their status. That HIV is absolutely NOT easily spread or a threat to anyone living in the same house under normal circumstances. And that once you're child is home, the HIV becomes such a non issue you'll wonder why you ever worried about it in the first place!
Thank you, Laci! We love your passion for the TRUTH!
If you'd like to contact Laci about events in Washington, you can contact her at email@example.com . To find an associate in your state, visit http://www.projecthopeful.org/state-association .

Interlink Networks is already updating their new LucidLink Wireless Security software, adding support for more access points and removing a potential hole in the wireless safety net for small and medium-sized businesses.
LucidLink targets small and medium-sized businesses looking for RADIUS-level WLAN user authentication without the associated expense (no dedicated server needed) or steep learning curve. The Wi-Fi security experience has been distilled down to two mouse clicks and 15 minutes, instead of 177 mouse clicks and up to 16 hours to set up the traditional RADIUS server, says Mike Klein, Interlink's president and CEO.
That doesn't mean the software was perfect, however. In response to a "tremendous amount of requests" from users of the software, LucidLink is boosting its support of access points from six to 16. The software package now supports APs from 3Com, Cisco, D-Link, Linksys, Motorola, Proxim, SMC, Symbol and ZyXel. LucidLink will work with "any access point that is 802.1X-compatible," says Klein. He says the company is testing many other AP brands in their labs.
A possible entry point for hackers has also been sealed by Interlink. The security key information stored on a laptop is now encrypted, says Klein. In previous versions, the security information was stored simply in the Windows Registry, where it could be easily copied to another computer and used to login.https://o1.qnsr.com/log/p.gif?;n=203;c=204660766;s=9477;x=7936;f=201812281312070;u=j;z=TIMESTAMP;a=20392931;e=i
"The security key information is now encrypted and bound to the client machine, ensuring that credentials cannot be compromised even if a user's laptop is stolen," according to a prepared statement. If a laptop is stolen, the WLAN administrator using LucidLink can disable the account with a single mouse click, says Klein.
LucidLink employs two levels of security. To provide WLAN administrators the widest compatibility, it uses WEP encryption or WPA-Enterprise (with RADIUS) for maximum security.
There are three parts to the LucidLink system: the LucidLink Server, Management Console and LucidLink client software.
When Jupiter Research conducted a study of wireless use among small businesses with fewer than 50 employees, 53 percent of those responding cited poor network security as a barrier to WLAN deployment, according to Julie Ask, a Jupiter Research analyst.
In addition, she says the research survey discovered that "ease of installation and configuration were the number one item selected."
Given those results, LucidLink "sounds like they will make their product more attractive to small and medium businesses -- a good thing in a competitive market where we're likely to see consolidation in the next year or so," according to Ask.
Before the release of this software, "small businesses have been left out of security," says Klein.
He says he often encountered the thinking that "you can be secure or you can be simple, but you can't be both," which he says is a myth.
A user first logging into a LucidLink-aware access point is greeted with a dialog box providing contact information for the WLAN administrator. The network administrator, who could be the office manager, uses the Management Console to authorize the client, setting an expiration date. This information is then stored on the client computer.
LucidLink was born from Klein's experience trying to tap the SMB market. For 12 years, Interlink has marketed RADIUS security to large enterprises. Although small and medium-sized businesses wanted RADIUS-class WLAN security, they were unwilling to pay the price or invest in the training and expertise needed to operate it.
The reaction has been positive, according to Klein. Interlink plans to expand the range of computer platforms on which LucidLink runs. This fall, the company will release software for Windows NT computers. Wi-Fi router makers have expressed interest in offering LucidLink as an easy way for customers to secure their small wireless networks.
Pricing for the LucidLink Wireless Security software package begins at $449 for a 10-user license.

Everyone who has been through Eastern Europe knows stray dogs offer some heartbreaking sights. Their life is unbelievably hard. Stray dogs' life really is a lottery... A very few fortunate ones are going to be adopted and have wonderful lives. But they represent one tiny bit in a sea of pain. How is this fair for the vast majority left behind with no luck?
The only way we can make stray dogs' life fairer is through sustained spay and neuter campaigns. So there won't be any more unfortunate innocent pups born to live and die like little Suus...
We met Suus for the first time on a Sunday afternoon, as Gabriela and I were scouting for new packs of dogs to be sterilized. A sweet, small puppy abandoned in a factory courtyard near a busy road. Just one of the dozens of abandoned and stray-born puppies we had seen that day alone. When I got home, I posted all the pictures taken that day on Facebook. To my big surprise, we found Suus an adopter in the evening of that same day! This was going to be the luckiest pup I had ever met, such an amazingly fast adoption! But it was simply not mean to be. The following day, Gabriela went back looking for her but could not find her. Then the next day, I went back looking for Suus myself... Only to be told by factory workers that Suus had been found dead, and looking like she had been attacked and fatally maimed by adult dogs patrolling the area. In disbelief, I asked them to show me her dead body, I simply refused to believe she was gone, now that she had the chance to a most wonderful life in Holland. Well, there she was indeed. Suus' beautiful spirit had left her frail body. The luckiest puppy turned out to be the unluckiest puppy. Suus was indeed gone...For Suus, it was nothing we could do anymore.
Please visit our page on Causes and be counted as someone who has learned about Suus. Suus is gone but not forgotten, and she stands for countless thousands of pups born to suffer in silence and die painful deaths from puppy diseases, worms, car accidents, poisoning, human cruelty and neglect, canine aggression over resources, and so on. Help us say no more to such heartbreaking sad stories. We must end the cycle of puppies born to suffer and die like this. Make Suus' death count!
Please, consider supporting the Ploiesti Neutering Challenge, a campaign born out of the desire to prevent such unhappy ends. We can never take back all the pain of the animals that have suffered and died like this. But we CAN prevent more animals from having the same fate. It's within our reach.

Dreamworld will reopen next weekend despite not all of its rides being cleared by safety inspectors, and quite possibly against the wishes of family members whose relatives were killed at the park.
Two men and two women died at the amusement park on October 25, after becoming trapped under a flipped raft on the family favourite Thunder River Rapids ride.
The Gold Coast theme park's operator, Ardent Leisure, announced today it would reopen on December 10, but several rides in Dreamworld will remained closed.
The Claw and Tower of Terror are yet to a pass "a four-tier safety review", while Thunder River Rapids ride has been permanently decommissioned.
Craig Davidson, CEO of Dreamworld, would not confirm destruction timelines of the ride that killed four Kate Goodchild, Luke Dorsett, Roozi Araghi and Cindy Low.
Ardent Leisure had kept the families of those killed up to date with plans to reopen the park, he added.
When asked if the families were happy about the decision to reopen, Mr Davidson replied: "We have kept them up to date on the opening. We will leave it at that."
He also refused to comment on speculation that parts of Thunder River Rapids could be used to memorialise the four dead.
Dreamworld's re-opening coincides with the start of summer school holidays in Queensland, with the park admitting the closure had cost it millions of dollars.
The park generated $7.6 million in revenue in November last year.
As well as that lost revenue, the park has incurred operating costs of up to $4.2 million for the month while one-off costs associated with the tragedy are expected to tally about $1.6 million.
"It is unavoidably taking time to methodically work through the multi-level safety review process," Mr Davidson said.
"This is a vitally important process and we simply cannot and are not rushing."
Dreamworld will donate $25 from the price of each entry ticket to the Red Cross over the summer period.

Hello Lovelies,
Today was a special day for my friend Christa. It was that day that only comes once in a year: It was her birthday! ha!

Suspect Who Stabbed U of M Students At Large
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Two female University of Minnesota students are expected to be OK after they were stabbed during a robbery near campus.
Police say the attack just after midnight Monday happened as the students, both 21, were walking to their off-campus home. Police say the male suspect took $5 from the women.
The stabbing is the third violent attack on university students in recent weeks on or near the Twin Cities campus. A man with a gun robbed a female student April 25 near Williams Arena. On April 22, three suspects robbed a 21-year-old man and hit him in the back of the head. There have been no arrests in any of the incidents.

It's now apparent that Prince Charles is stepping up his duties as The Queen reduces her own. This is a sign that Prince Charles is preparing for the role that he will one day fulfil, though not just yet. To completely dispel any idea that abdication is the word on The Queen's lips at the moment, here are 5 reasons why Her Majesty won't abdicate.
1. 'I declare before you all…'
On the occasion of her 21st birthday the then Princess Elizabeth made a vow in a radio message to the Commonwealth, in it she said: "I declare before you all that my whole life, whether it be long or short shall be devoted to your service and to the service of our great imperial family to which we all belong."
2. Established Church
Unlike many other Monarchies in the world, the United Kingdom's Monarchy is unique in that it is closely associated with an established church, the Church of England. The Queen is a very religious person and at her Coronation in 1953, she promised to serve the countries of which she is Queen for her life, in the sight of God.
3. The Abdication Crisis
Abdication is not a words Elizabeth II is likely to 'enjoy' hearing, her uncle Edward VIII abdicated in a cloud of scandal in 1936 when he was forced to abdicate in order to marry his twice divorced American lover, Wallis Simpson. This abdication left Elizabeth's father to be King, a job he did not want and some say that Elizabeth II blames Edward VIII for her father's early demise and excess stress the role of King put on him. She can not want to go down a similar avenue to Edward, regardless of her reasons being different.
4. A Job For Life
Whereas in the Dutch Monarchy, abdication is a common mechanism for retirement of Monarchs, the same is not true in the United Kingdom. Dutch Monarchs tend to abdicate in old age, British Monarchs often occupy the throne until death. This is probably due to a combination of the aforementioned reasons. The only Monarch in British History to voluntarily abdicate was Edward VIII.
5. 'Married To The Country'
At her Coronation, the Archbishop of Canterbury placed the 'Ring of England' on The Queen, at which point it is said that the Monarch is 'married to England'. This is another symbolic act that Elizabeth II would take very seriously, she hates people not sticking to their word and one supposes she would see abdication almost as a dereliction of duty and a breaking off of a 'marriage' to a country she loves so dearly and reigned over for 61 years.

Last month, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, R-Calif., said he would veto two renewable energy bills that were passed by the California Legislature. The Wall Street Journal is reporting that the governor has followed through on the threat.
The bills would increase the state's renewable portfolio standard (RPS) to 33% by 2020. The governor supports the aggressive RPS and even signed an executive order in September establishing a 33% standard.
However, Schwarzenegger says he disapproves of a provision in the Legislature's bill that would limit the amount of renewable power that utilities could buy from other states. The new rules, established by the California Air Resources Board, do not limit the amount of power that California can buy from out-of-state utilities.
