Overview Nonfiction: Timeless: Personality
Workshop: An Introduction to Writing for Children and Young Adults
"People are always interested in other people." Jane Fitz-Randolph
Whether historical or current there is no end of potential people to write about whether well-known or unknown.
Find the Angle.
From age two, one of my grandsons was mesmerized by a story about Michael Jordan, Salt in His Shoes, written by his mother Deloris Jordan. The story was based on a particular summer in Michael's life when he struggled to play basketball with the big kids in the neighborhood park and how his commitment turned his despair into success. At first I only shared a few words per page here and there but day after day my grandson would still 'read' the story carefully turning the pages. As he grew older I read all the words and he understood the story even more. One specific insight into this gifted athlete opened up a whole new generation to recognize, love, family, perseverance, and faith through this true story.
Be interesting to a broad range Audience.
Although the vocabulary in Salt in His Shoes fit more for fourth grade and older the detailed illustrations pulled in the younger readers and the emotional storyline pulled in the adults. Regardless of your immediate intended audience look for the themes that are universal and ageless and their truths will cross age, race, and culture. Life matters.
Be Authentic. The research needs to be solid. If you include interviews be sure to get permission. If you are doing historical research and find conflicting material give the reasons for the discrepancy and why it is an issue.
Find fresh material or Application. Many years after World War ll many movies, novels and life stories were written about the behind scenes espionage, life changes, and hidden atrocities that occurred. Ordinary people worked hard incognito to save others. Women played a much more dangerous role in many battles that were not acknowledged or revealed at the time due to danger for them and their work. What factors will connect to your specific audience and age group?
How might the British women's contribution of code and cypher breaking at Bletchley Park and the Native American Navajo Code Talkers be of interest today skill and study wise? Or the recently released movie Hidden Figures that unveils the three women math geniuses that played such an important role in NASA. Why did it take so long to release their stories?
Look at your own curiosity questions and see if there are any behind the scenes people to acknowledge.
Action Steps:
1. Using the above italic outline write down any potential ideas.
2. Choose the two most interesting to focus your purpose.
3. Outline what sources you already have and where you need to do research.
4. Write up a sample outline for an interview to fill in either in person or from research material.

Overview Nonfiction: Timeless: How-To
Workshop: An Introduction to Writing for Children and Young Adults
On the surface a how-to seems almost self-explanatory but it's amazing how easy it is to forget a key detail. This is rich territory for any age but especially for ages five and up as these subjects combine details and information with curiosity and possible future inspiration.
How-to pieces go beyond arts and craft projects to exercise, finances, organization skills, doing chores, and sharing talents.
Keep it truthful. Keep it simple. Keep it accurate. Keep it doable.
Truthful. Make a connection with your reader. Are you sharing from a love of your information? Did you totally mess up the first time you tried to make this topic yourself and have a funny story to tell? Is it something important to know how to do but can also be dangerous if done incorrectly—like a teenager learning to change a tire? Don't make light of any complications, but be sure to give solutions. Share=Connection.
Simple. Precise. Concise. Step-by-step instructions. Take time to explain a word that might be unfamiliar or confusing. Don't make assumptions. Give a detailed list of requirements both in material and time and potential cost.
Accurate. Point out the potential glitches. Is there stage where they will need help? For the very young enable them to understand waiting time. Are there any potential dangers that older teens or adults need to be aware of? Food allergies or something can become slippery. Protect eyes or need gloves?
Doable. Personalize again. How much fun? How many more times? What possible projects can come next or expand or new ideas to follow up on. Make other possible connections.
How to Build a Kite can connect to arts and crafts, a family outing, a party, building skills, types of tools, and supplies.
How to Fly a Kite can connect to skills needed and festivals and history and types.
How to Know Where to Fly a Kite can lead to a study of wind and environment.
How-to can also be woven into narrative stories either from the viewpoint of a fictional character, a personal memory of your first time trying it out, or as an interview.
The goal is for readers to be excited to try it for themselves and not just see a list that they hold and say, "Do I have to?"
Action Steps:
1. Make a list of any how-to side subjects that might connect with your article from last week.
2. Then choose one and see how many parts or angles you could develop.
3. Choose two and write them up: one as a brief sidebar, and one as a whole article itself.
4. Look up some possible magazine markets to submit to. Remember that magazines sometimes work a year ahead, so submitting an article in the fall for the following summer, or vice versa, is not unusual.

Overview Nonfiction: Timeless: Informational
Workshop: An Introduction to Writing for Children and Young Adults
The range for this style is almost indefinable. Any potential topic fits from all subjects and genres. Since basically all articles and essays include information here the focus becomes purpose and intent. We have all experienced the information overflow that causes our minds to glaze over. So to keep interest one focus key is the central purpose, which then connects the tone and point of view. Will it be severe, dramatic, humorous, functional, or enlightening?
The facts need to support the purpose in tone as well. And again they need to be age appropriate. A toddler understands basic warnings such as don't run or don't touch or don't move. Older readers will want to know the why and what of the danger to confirm the warning words.
Interest is the precise lure, to be supported by the presentation, and undergirded with facts. Even a wealth of facts is possible if presented in an engaging manner. For younger readers a story narrative can help guide new information. Older readers will want evidence as well, but slanted specifically to the main interest or main reason they are reading this particular article.
Don't overload and don't use terminology that can't become relative to the reader. Limit to the primary focus. Ground the reader in the subject before expanding the concepts and vocabulary.
Say for example I wanted to do some article on kites. Will I focus on (entertainment) the fun it is to watch others fly them on the beach, (historical or geographical) where kite flying originated, (science) wind currents, (occupations) festivals for kites, and the list goes on.
In a few weeks we'll look at outlines and methods of focusing a potential essay or article but for right now begin to sift out main components of information you want to base your subject on.
Action Steps:
1. From the category you chose last week take your four main points and make a list of all the key foundations of information that are either the most interesting or the most critical or both for each of them.
2. Keep a list of the parts that don't fit right now.
3. Choose one particular aspect and do a brainstorm of everything you already know. For example: what do you know about beaver homes?
4. Make a rough draft list of potential details.
5. Next to each mark whether you have an example or story or details to share or do you need to do more research?
Share: What topic point have you chosen to work on for an information article?

Overview Nonfiction: Timeless Styles
Workshop: An Introduction to Writing for Children and Young Adults
Topic =why plus what plus who plus how
Last week, for your article in progress, you have now chosen a potential style, a purpose, an audience, an age, and perhaps a voice. Now we'll look at a few different style approaches over the next few weeks.
Basically there are four main types of books: biography, history, science, and how-to. They often overlap but the underlying core purpose will designate the foundation category.
The top timeless requests for magazine are: how to, informational, interesting personality, and self-development. Depending on your subject you may be able to get a feel for audience interest by taking sections of a proposed book and write articles from the chapters or as a blog. It's a good way to test the waters as you plan.
For example, suppose you are fascinated by Abraham Lincoln and although there are several books written about him, you feel some of them are out-dated and old-fashioned in presentation and you'd like to inspire a new generation.
Would your potential biography be chronological, or specific highlights, or one key aspect, such as determination or honesty?
From your research and interest you want to choose which slant you want to share about your subject and how to shape it. What pattern looks the most interesting?
If you were writing a book on transportation, would you only include all transportation with wheels or only bicycles or only a particular kind of bicycle? How could that fit into a story about the history of bicycles?
For the next four weeks we'll look at the specific magazine article styles. Choose four main points to consider for your topic as you do the action step below.
Also begin now to consider and experiment with your tone of choice. Articles and essays sometimes land under the same categories, but they do have a subtle difference that is defined by your primary purpose and audience again. Articles lean towards information delivery and an objective voice. Essays are often more subjective in attitude and explorative in presentation.
Action Steps:
Viking Children's Books listed their interest in these topics in the edition of Children's Writer's and Illustrator's Market 2017.
"NONFICTION All levels: biography, concept, history, multicultural, music/dance, nature/environment, science and sports."
1. Under which category do you think your subject would fit best? Why?
2. Suppose you have a biographical topic that represents a musician that falls into both music and multicultural. Which category do you think should be the primary focus?
3. Look up their catalogue and see if they already have books on your person, and/or someone similar in topic. Or a series? Is there a pattern? A missing space you could fill?
4. If you have a particular magazine you are interesting in submitting to, read several issues and note whether they lean towards an article style or an essay style of tone and voice.
Share: What primary category has your attention? Why?

Dr. Horey is available for private lesson instruction in the Twin Cities, and Morris, MN areas. Please contact him at (612)413-5844 or at email@example.com if interested in discussing schedules, rates, and student needs.
Dr. Horey's primary area of professional activity is his dynamic and diverse teaching. He teaches drums and percussion for all ages and levels (children, adult, teen and college level), beginner piano, and other general music topics such as music theory, music history, and performance practice. He also gives guest presentations and seminars in topics such as career development, kinesiology for musicians, body awareness and meditation techniques for musicians, teamwork/interpersonal skills for musicians, creativity/song-writing/ensemble skills, and his favorite: the importance being a professional and artistic rock musician.
During his doctoral study, Scotty collaborated with many professors from a variety of music and non-music disciplines to develop his current in depth teaching approaches and pedagogical practices. His doctoral project was entitled "Advanced Percussion Performance through Body, Mind, and Heart" and was a holistic practice for percussionists that combined percussion study with kinesiology, cognitive sciences, mind-body approaches, interpersonal skills, and creativity/interpretation using modernist music and rock music as "in context" examples.
Scotty is currently Assistant Professor of Percussion at the University of Minnesota Morris, drumset/percussion faculty at the Virtuosos Music Academy, drumset/percussion faculty at the Music Lab school, and teaches lessons for Bloomington Public Schools' After School Enrichment program. In addition, he regularly gives guest educational presentations locally, nationally, and internationally (see resume for examples).
"Going deeper beyond my education and experience, my overarching teaching philosophy is one of open-mindedness, flexibility, and personal sensitivity. It is important for me to learn about each students' learning style preferences, communication skills, strengths, weaknesses, as well as family and cultural background. Then, and only then, am I able to put my teaching knowledge and expertise to use to help meet both the students goals, and my expectations as a teacher. I place a high priority in keeping up to date with trends in music research and music education, and make my lesson plans for each student prior to meeting with them each week. Private lesson time is a mix between experiential activities for the student, watching students demonstrate their materials, descriptions and demonstrations from myself, and in depth conversations with mutual listening. My goal is to foster skills (mental and physical), confidence, encouragement, creativity, and positive thinking through an integrated two way interaction, and by exemplifying a role model.
Working with children presents a special challenge, and a special joy. As a private lesson instructor to children ages 6-12, I have several goals: first, is to establish clear instructions and clear behavioral structure for lesson time, to promote learning and to avoid too much "silliness"! Next, I employ simple and fun musical activities for both of us to do together that foster the child's learning of basic musical concepts on a cognitive, sensory, motor skill, and creative level before moving onto technique and music reading instruction. Most importantly, I regularly affirm to the child that I, as a teacher and role model, share the experience of music with them, including practicing, performing, having fun, and even making mistakes, too! At the end of each lesson, I provide clear homework assignments and help a student establish strong home practice habits.
Working one on one can be a very intense and challenging experience for some students (at any age level). I believe it is important to stay in close touch with student's caregivers and parents/family, and provide guidance and referrals if the student is in need of other types of instruction, education, or care.

Video documentation of teaching: (lectures and master-classes)
- Some discussion on my general teaching approach:
- Discussion on professional and Interpersonal skills for percussionists:
- Discussion on how you can use theory analysis and improvisation as a tool to learn a new piece: (This video was filmed LIVE at one my clinic presentations.)
- Coaching a visiting brazilian drum set student. (This video was filmed LIVE at one my clinic presentations.)
- Discussion on how mind-body disciplines and studies (yoga, meditation techniques, movement based therapies) can be practiced to improve your percussion performance skills.
The following two videos (part I and part II) are a presentation on some of my approaches as a drum set teacher and player, specifically in areas I am most passionate about: progressive rock and solo performance. I also demonstrate and discuss some examples from my piece "Extroverted Introvert" which you can check out on my "Solo Percussion Artist Page" in the video work samples section.
Discussion on learning and interpreting contemporary percussion music, using James Dillons great piece "Ti-Re Ti-Ke Dha" as an example. In this video I also address the very challenging issue of understanding and playing complex polyrhythms.
This video is a guided activity; a visualization exercise designed to help you you prepare for a performance. I frequently conduct these activities with attendees at my public presentations. I suggest you take a some time during a calm point in your day, and try it! Simply play this video from your computer, iPad, or iPhone (ideally using some quality speakers or headphones) and follow my verbal instructions. I hope you find it insightful and helpful!

At two passages in the soft-coral capital of the world, strong currents make for eye-popping reefs.
In still waters, normally brilliant colonies of Dendronephthya soft coral retract into protective, knobby fists, and a reef that's a Jolly-Rancher-colored spectacle in normal conditions becomes a mundane rockscape. But when currents push fast-moving water over a soft-coral reef, these assemblages of tiny animals unfurl their jewel-toned branches to feed on the nutrients that ride those currents. Put your mask close to a soft coral tree to find each colony of Dendronephthya plumping itself up, taking on water to filter for food until its translucent membrane practically glows. Then, for a more expansive view, move two fin-kicks away from a soft-coral-covered wall when the current is running--the stronger the better--and you will find one of the most spectacular sights under the sea.
If you want to find soft corals, pack your gear for the 300-plus islands of Fiji. And if you want to find reefs washed by swift currents and everything that means--forests of soft corals, thriving hard corals, a mind-boggling diversity of species and tornadoes of schooling fish--look at a map of Fiji and find the places where water accelerates through narrow passages with every tidal change. In that fast water, divers sometimes have to kick hard just to stay in one place, and soft-coral sites literally come to life.
Where can you find a regularly occurring perfect storm of these conditions and some of the most visually engaging reefs in the world? Fiji's Somosomo Strait and Vatu-i-Ra Passage.

LONDON (CBS.MW) --Philip Morris is the favorite to acquire Nabisco Group Holdings Corp., the Sunday Times reported.
The world's biggest cigarette maker, Philip Morris MO, +0.31% is said to be the front-runner in an auction for Nabisco Group Holdings ngh being conducted by Morgan Stanley Dean Witter and UBS Warburg.
Theinvestment banks are expected to value Nabisco at about 12 billion pounds ($18 billion), including debt. They reportedly have set May 15 as a deadline for bids, according to analysts.
Nabisco Group's holdings are concentrated in the manufacturing and marketing of cookies, crackers, snack foods, canned fruits and vegetables, fruit juices and drinks, and other food products. The company, which tallied 1999 net sales of nearly $8.3 billion, owns 80 percent of Nabisco Holdings Corp. na, parent of Nabisco Biscuit Co. and Nabisco's U.S. and international food operations.
RJR Nabisco is seen as another leading candidate in the auction, which would reunite the Nabisco food operations and the R.J. Reynolds tobacco operations back under a single corporate umbrella.
Complicated state of affairs
On Friday, takeover mogul Carl Icahn sweetened his offer for Nabisco to $6.5 billion, an increase of 37.5 percent, but analysts predicted the bidding would go higher. Icahn -- who holds a 10 percent stake in Nabisco -- said he was willing to raise his bid from $16 to $22 in cash and stock per Nabisco share.
Reuters said Nabisco has signed about 13 confidentiality agreements with interested buyers, according to a leading analyst, and a price tag of at least $25 per share for Nabisco Group is expected. France's Groupe Danone da is also said to be an interested party.
Coming on the heels of Unilever's recent $66-per-share bid for Bestfoods BFO, +0.00%, the Nabisco sale is expected to carry forward a wave of consolidation in the food industry, the Sunday Times said.
Philip Morris, bearing the brunt of tobacco-related lawsuits and litigation, is keen to expand its food interests beyond Kraft. Some analysts speculate that if it buys Nabisco, Philip Morris could choose to demerge itself into separate tobacco and food companies, the Sunday Times said.
Shares of Nabisco Group Holdings closed up 12 percent to 19 11/16 on Friday. Shares of Philip Morris ended up 3.4 percent at 24 1/3.

In an update of the W800i music phone the company released last fall, Sony Ericsson's W810i brings some much-needed style to the category. Dressed in black and ready to party, the W810i is more or less the same handset as its predecessor on the inside, though it does sport a nice 2-megapixel camera. It accepts up to 2GB of storage media via Memory Stick Duo.

PARIS (AP) — A Civil War film by Sofia Coppola, a Ukrainian road movie and a drama about AIDS activism are among 18 films competing for prizes at this year's Cannes Film Festival, which organizers hope can help counter nationalist sentiment.
Also in the top competition are "The Killing of a Sacred Deer," a thriller from Greek filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos starring Kidman and Colin Farrell; "Okja,"a fantasy thriller by South Korea's Bong Joon-Ho starring Tilda Swinton; French director Michel Hazanavicius' tribute to the French New Wave, "Le Redoubtable" and sex-trafficking drama "You Were Never Really Here" from Britain's Lynne Ramsay;
The festival is embracing virtual reality and cell phone video as it marks its 70th birthday this year. Festival general delegate Thierry Fremaux and President Pierre Lescure announced the dozens of films competing and showing during the May 17-28 festival at a press conference in Paris on Thursday.
Contenders for the Palme d'Or include Coppola's spooky Civil War drama "The Beguiled," starring Nicole Kidman and Kirsten Dunst; American director Noah Baumbach's family saga "The Meyerowitz Stories," starring Dustin Hoffman, Ben Stiller and Adam Sandler; and fellow American Todd Haynes' 1920s-set drama "Wonderstruck."
The Killing of a Sacred Deer is an upcoming film directed by Yorgos Lanthimos, from a screenplay by Lanthimos and Efthymis Filippou. It stars Colin Farrell and Nicole Kidman.
It has been selected to compete for the Palme d'Or in the main competition section at the 2017 Cannes Film Festival.
On May 11, 2016, it was announced that Colin Farrell had been cast in the film, with Yorgos Lanthimos directing from a screenplay he had written with Efthymis Filipou, with Film4 Productions and Element Pictures producing the project. In June 2016, Nicole Kidman joined the cast of the film. In August 2016, Alicia Silverstone, Raffey Cassidy, Barry Keoghan, and Sunny Suljic joined the cast.

Republican candidates including Donald Trump, Mike Huckabee and Rand Paul have the backing of some big-name celebrities, such as Hulk Hogan and Vince Vaughn. Scroll down to see who's supporting whom in the upcoming election. Willie Robertson Photo Credit: Getty Images / Ethan Miller "Duck Dynasty" star Willie Robertson endorsed Donald Trump on Jan. 21, 2015. "Mr. Trump is a real leader," Robertson said in a news release. "He represents success and strength, two attributes our country needs." Robertson's father Phil Robertson has endorsed Sen. Ted Cruz. Sarah Palin Photo Credit: Getty Images / Aaron P. Bernstein Sarah Palin endorsed Donald Trump in a speech on Jan. 19, 2016 in Ames, Iowa. "The status quo has got to go," she said. Palin also told the crowd that Trump would "kick ISIS' ass." Phil Robertson Photo Credit: Getty Images / Alex Wong "Duck Dynasty" star Phil Robertson endorsed Sen. Ted Cruz in a January campaign ad. "My qualifications for president of the United States are rather narrow," he said in an ad posted to YouTube on Jan. 19, 2016. "Is he or she Godly, does he or she love us, can he or she do the job, and finally, would they kill a duck and put him in a pot and make him a good duck gumbo?" He added, "Ted Cruz is my man, he fits the bill." Charlie Sheen Photo Credit: Getty Images / Michael Buckner Actor Charlie Sheen said he would be Donald Trump's running mate "in a heartbeat" in a tweet in August 2015. Sheen, however, had previously tweeted that Trump is "a sad & silly homunculus" and "a shame pile of idiocy." Dennis Rodman Photo Credit: Getty Images / Laura Cavanaugh Dennis Rodman voiced his support for Donald Trump's candidacy on July 24, 2015. The former NBA player tweeted, "@realDonaldTrump has been a great friend for many years. We don't need another politician, we need a businessman like Mr. Trump! Trump 2016." Kid Rock Photo Credit: Getty Images / Bryan Bedder Kid Rock told Rolling Stone that he is "digging Donald Trump," adding that America should let the business man run the country like a business. He had previously spoke out in support of Ben Carson back in February 2015. "I'm very interested in the things that Ben Carson has to say," he told New York Times Magazine. Mike Tyson Photo Credit: Getty Images / Kevin Winter Former heavyweight boxing champ Mike Tyson revealed he would endorse presidential candidate Donald Trump on HuffPost Live in October 2015. "He should be president of the United States," Tyson said. "Let's try something new. Let's run America like a business, where no colors matter. Whoever can do the job, gets the job." Azealia Banks Photo Credit: Getty Images / Kevin Winter Singer Azealia Banks has tweeted her support for Trump multiple times. In May she wrote on Twitter, "I REALLY want Donald Trump to win the election." "Hillary has been GROOMED for the presidency. she's another one of the establishments robots here to carry out an agenda," Banks wrote in another tweet. Donnie Wahlberg Photo Credit: Getty Image / Timothy Hiatt Donnie Wahlberg has said that he's an independent, but he gave an endorsement to Marco Rubio before the South Carolina primary, tweeting, "#SCPrimary voters, support the only candidate that can, and will, beat @realDonaldTrump for the #GOP nomination- @marcorubio #Rubio2016." The New Kids on the Block singer had previously said he thinks Carly Fiorina would be a great president. On Twitter in August 2015 he said she is a "strong human being and a strong candidate for President in 2016!" Gary Busey Photo Credit: Getty Images / Frazer Harrison Gary Busey said in September 2015 that he thinks Donald Trump would be a good president. "I know him personally. I know him professionally. He's a great guy. He's sharp. He's fast. He can change the country after the last eight years," he told Fox News. Busey previously voiced support for Newt Gingrich in 2011. Loretta Lynn Photo Credit: Getty Images / Terry Wyatt The country music singer Loretta Lynn told Reuters, "Trump has sold me - what more can I say?" "I just think he's the only one who's going to turn this country around," she added. Mark Teixeira Photo Credit: Kathleen Malone-Van Dyke The New York Yankees' first baseman Mark Teixeira was on the hosting committee of a fundraiser for Sen. Marco Rubio in November in New York. To be a host, there was a $10,000 donation minimum for Rubio's campaign. Hulk Hogan Photo Credit: Getty Images / Kevin Winter Hulk Hogan backed Mitt Romney in 2012. Now, he just may have some political ambitions of his own. The former WWE wrestler told TMZ in August 2015 that he wants to be on Donald Trump's ticket as vice president. Ted Nugent Photo Credit: Getty Images for NAMM/David Livingston Singer Ted Nugent, who is an NRA board member, wrote an article for World Net Daily defending Donald Trump and sharing his opinion that Trump should be awarded the Medal of Freedom "for speaking his mind in such a bold, honest and straight-forward manner." "Donald Trump's message sings to Americans because he doesn't play politically correct brain-dead games," Nugent says in the post. "He calls them like he sees them. That's refreshing to millions of Americans who believe political correctness is a public cancer that has eroded free speech and everything else good about America." Tim Allen Photo Credit: Getty Images / Matt Winkelmeyer Tim Allen said in August 2015 that he likes John Kasich. "I went to see him at an L.A. town meeting, which is usually a very liberal forum," he said. "He talked about poor people -- the underprivileged and the working poor. It was very un-Republican. He's a Republican that a Democrat could vote for." Vince Vaughn Photo Credit: Getty Images / Frederick M. Brown Vince Vaughn, a libertarian, said at a Young Americans for Liberty conference at UCLA in April 2015 that he likes Rand Paul. "I have found him to be very consistent on a lot of the issues where liberty is concerned, and liked him very much," Vaughn said of Paul. The comedian admitted that he doesn't understand all of the Kentucky senator's politics, but added, "He is the candidate that is currently running that I am most sort of aligned with in sort of his thoughts and philosophies." Wayne Newton Photo Credit: Getty Images / Kevin Winter Wayne Newton said he thinks Trump would make a great president on "Fox & Friends." "Number one, he tells the truth," Mr. Las Vegas said. "Number two, he's been where most of these guys want to be, in terms of riding on his own plane. He doesn't have to worry about what hotels he stays in, he doesn't have to worry about how his family gets to Hawaii, so on and so forth." Scott Baio Photo Credit: Getty Images / Charley Gallay Actor Scott Baio endorsed Trump in an interview with Fox News. "When he speaks I understand him," Baio said. "He speaks like I speak, he communicates with people very well." He added that the Republican nominee needs to be someone who can "relentlessly, relentlessly attack Hillary." Baio had previously supported Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker before he withdrew from the race. "Gov. Walker sounds a lot like President Reagan. #WalkerForPres," he tweeted in March 2015. Chuck Norris Photo Credit: Facebook / Chuck Norris Chuck Norris is a conservative who has voiced support for presidential candidate Mike Huckabee. Norris told the New York Times in May 2015 that he still thinks Huckabee is the most qualified candidate for president. "He has the moral clarity and experience to lead our great country forward," Norris said.

Shenandoah Summer Music Theatre presents Young Frankenstein beginning at 2:30 p.m. in Ohrstrom Bryant Theatre. Grandson of the infamous Victor Frankenstein, Frederick Frankenstein (pronounced "Fronk-en-steen") inherits his family's estate in Transylvania. With the help of a hunchbacked sidekick, Igor (pronounced "Eye-gore"), and a leggy lab assistant, Inga (pronounced normally), Frederick finds himself in the mad scientist shoes of his ancestors. "It's alive!" he exclaims as he brings to life a creature to rival his grandfather's. Eventually, of course, the monster escapes and hilarity continuously abounds. For more information, please visit Young Frankenstein or email email@example.com.

We eliminated tourniquets from ambulances because of anecdotes and some strong opinions, but not because of valid research. Valid research shows that tourniquets work. Tourniquets are back.
We added traction splints because of anecdotes and some strong opinions, but not because of any valid research. Will research result in the same reversal of opinion-based practice.
With so little evidence, devices that are frequently misused, and no apparent need for these Rube Goldberg devices, should we continue to use traction splints?
Does a traction splint work?
That depends on what we mean by the word work. If work means that it pulls on the leg, then it does work, but if work means that it improves outcomes, then the traction splint is about as effective as eye of newt. Maybe the eye of newt is more effective.
If your have a lot of patients who have no other major injuries, then you may be able to set up a study of traction splints. A ski resort might be a good place for a study. On the other hand, if you are not an isolated femur fracture magnet, then your patients would probably be much better off if you focused on pain management, rather than pulling on their broken bones.
The fact is, there were no definitive studies demonstrating efficacy or decreased morbidity or mortality from prehospital use of traction splints 10 years ago, nor are there any now.3 So our use of traction splints is purely anecdotal.[1]
What is an anecdote?
An anecdote is misinformation from a know-it-all who doesn't know what matters.
Anecdotes are just rumors. We believe some things because we want to believe, not because they are true. If we want to know the truth, we look for unbiased information. Unbiased information is the opposite of anecdotes and rumors.
There I was, standing on the corner, minding my own business, when all of a sudden . . .
He was dying and we gave the special sauce and he got better and ran a marathon last year.
These are examples of anecdotes. Anecdotes are what sells alternative medicine.

Interfaith News Roundup
November 15, 2016
Standing Rock, Evangelical Divide, and Pope Francis
United Religions Initiative's Global Council has taken a stand with the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe regarding the contested Dakota Pipeline. On October 1, 2016, URI Global Trustees and Elders Audri Scott Williams and Phil Lane Jr. presented a declaration to the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe. It said in part, "The United Religions Initiative will pray and stand beside Standing Rock as long as it takes for all Members of our Human Family to fully understand that your struggle is not only for the way of life of the Great Sioux Nation, but for the health, safety and well-being of all current and future generations of the Human Family and Life everywhere on Mother Earth!" Read the full statement here. Early this month a gathering of clergy from all traditions met at the site of the protest to stand with the Sioux.
In a related but underreported story, The Atlantic has a fascinating report about the religious revival going on among the tribes of First Nations in America being fueled by the confrontation at Standing Rock.
David Gushee of Religion News Service pegged it as the "biggest religion news story of the 2016 election is erupting before our eyes" – that is, the fracturing of the Evangelical Christian world over differences about Donald J. Trump. Gushee is a progressive Evangelical himself. A couple of days later Laurie Goodstein of the New York Times detailed the fracturing in an article titled, "Donald Trump Reveals Evangelical Rifts that Could Shape Politics for Years." (This prognosis must be tempered by the fact that more than 80 percent of Evangelicals voted for Donald Trump.)
Pope Francis' agenda continues to boggle the mind. Earlier this month, he traveled to Sweden to initiate a yearlong healing process between Protestants and Catholics who parted ways 500 years ago. This concerted move to heal the division between Catholicism and Protestantism may be the most important "intrafaith" Christian project in centuries. It is consonant with Francis' pastoral, healing activities. It has drawn considerable criticism from Catholic conservatives, as well as deep appreciation from progressive believers.
In more papal news, Francis celebrated mass for 1,100 inmates invited from 12 countries, mostly held in Italian jails, using the occasion to decry the mistreatment of prisoners and the death penalty. And he also hosted a conference on how rare, neglected diseases can decimate the poor.
News-notes from Around the World
The Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic, a small nation in Africa's Western Sahara, recently held its eleventh major interfaith dialogue, attended by government officials, academics, religious leaders, and interreligious activists. Their subject: refugees in divine books. Is anyone listening?
A startling find from a recent poll indicated that nearly a quarter of all parents in the UK are reluctant to share their faith with their children for fear the kids will be ostracized at school. The figure rose to 36 percent for Christians, and up to 69 for other religions. They also reported being afraid to have to face questions they couldn't answer, and more than a third suspected that social media would have a stronger influence of the offspring than their parents. Another sign that religion in the English-speaking world and most of Europe is going through hard times.
By contrast, though, interfaith activity seems to be alive and well in the UK, especially among the young. National Interfaith Week is being celebrated this month, including a youth-focused Interfaith Summit being held in London. On the agenda: "post-Brexit community relations, responses to the refugee crisis, and mental health, identity, and discrimination."
Pew Research reports that one-quarter of marriages in the United States are interreligious, and one in five adults reports growing up in religious mixed families. That's but the tip of the iceberg of findings in this extensive study of religion in American families.
The most disheartening story this past month was an escalation of violence against Hindus in Bangladesh. Fifteen temples have been vandalized, more than 100 Hindu homes have been looted, and the Hindu community has been terrorized. The extremist Muslim movement called Jamaat-e-Islamihas has been blamed for the violence. It parallels violence against Buddhists four years ago. Both outbreaks were blamed on Facebook pages which allegedly were blasphemous. In this month's attacks the government has moved swiftly, and dozens have been arrested, many connected to fundamentalist Muslim schools known as madrassas. Pakistan is also going after terrorists and the schools that train them.
Cyprus is taking a tangible step towards interfaith harmony between Muslims and Orthodox Christians through the renovation of the ancient, highly revered monastery of Apostolos Andreas. One of the Muslim planners noted that "while monuments in nearby war-torn Syria are being destroyed as an attack on a people's identity, work being done in Cyprus illustrates that a common cultural heritage can unite people of different faiths."
The Smithsonian Association in Washington DC has selected its first permanent curator of religion, Peter Manseau, author of One Nation, Many Gods (2011). A major exhibit of religion in early America is scheduled for 2017.
On October 18, Sir Sigmund Sternberg, an internationally renowned interfaith champion, died at the age of 95. Sir Sigmund was known for his legislative career in England, philanthropy, and as a major voice in the Jewish community. He is particularly known for bringing reconciliation and friendly relationships between Roman Catholicism and Judaism.
And how is this for some startling good news, especially for the faithful. "If one could conceive of a single elixir to improve the physical and mental health of millions of Americans — at no personal cost — what value would our society place on it?" So begins an intriguing article that religious practitioners (and anyone wishing to live longer) deserve to read!

We need to reschedule this Saturdays pickup to later next week. Starting Tuesday we are open to shareholder pickups 4-6pm. then again on Thursday 4-6 for those that couldn't make the Tuesday pickup. I will post this on the farm's Facebook page if you would please comment below the post with what day you can pickup your share…that way we will know how many baskets to pack that day for pickup. I do apologize for any inconvenience this short notice may cause.

2018 saw the planting of the first phase of our plan for Paxton's extraordinary Rockery of 1842, set in the heart of this magnificent landscape. Built both as a reminder of the 6th Duke's visit to the Alps and of the Bolton Strid, a narrow chasm on the River Wharfe near Bolton Abbey, the Devonshire family home in Yorkshire.
The Rockery is being transformed over the next 4 years, 2018-2022. The first phase of this can be seen on the south side of the Strid. Additional phases will follow annually with construction of new paths and rock work over the winter season and planting in the spring.
We are also beginning work on an 18 acre area of woodland known as Arcadia, south of the cascade and adjacent to the Trout Stream, an area currently being developed using the plans of Dan Pearson. We have been working in 2017 and 2018 to clear glades through the overgrown woodland, revealing views across the garden to the Brownian landscape beyond. A new network of paths will open up Arcadia, allowing visitors to explore the area for the first time.
2019 will see an ambitious amount of planting in Arcadia, starting at the northern end. A large damp bog garden will be planted with large leaved damp loving plants. This will be continued south along the new path to a smaller glade where the artist Laura Ellen Bacon is building a large stone sculpture, a new contribution to the landscape. The biggest glade which runs up from the maze will be planted in huge swathes as a perennial meadow. Autumn 2019 will also see the seeding of the smallest and most southern glade with an exotic collection of perennials chosen and trailed by James Hitchmough.
The site of Paxton's Great Conservatory, completed in 1840 has been the location for The Maze since 1962 within the stone walls that once supported this extraordinary building. Either side of the Maze within the remaining walls are flower beds which historically have been planted with seasonal displays and although magnificent at their best, leave a gap for visitors at other times of the year. In 2019 we will plant one side of The Maze garden. The beds will be subdivided, and planting will be designed to have structure relating to the stone walls and large Taxus baccata hedges of The Maze.

In his ambitious and fiercely inventive new novel, The Lost Time Accidents, John Wray takes us from turn-of-the-century Viennese salons buzzing with rumors about Einstein's radical new theory to the death camps of World War Two, from the golden age of postwar pulp science fiction to a startling discovery in a Manhattan apartment packed to the ceiling with artifacts of modern life.
Haunted by a failed love affair and the darkest of family secrets, Waldemar 'Waldy' Tolliver wakes one morning to discover that he has been exiled from the flow of time. The world continues to turn, and Waldy is desperate to find his way back—a journey that forces him to reckon not only with the betrayal at the heart of his doomed romance but also the legacy of his great-grandfather's fatal pursuit of the hidden nature of time itself.
Part madcap adventure, part harrowing family drama, part scientific mystery—and never less than wildly entertaining—The Lost Time Accidents is a bold and epic saga set against the greatest upheavals of the twentieth century.
About the author
John Wray is the author of critically acclaimed novels including Lowboy, The Right Hand of Sleep and Canaan's Tongue. He was named one of Granta magazine's Best of Young American Novelists in 2007. The recipient of a Whiting Award, he lives in Brooklyn, New York.
Librarian's comments
John Wray puts science back in fiction with such genre-busting aplomb and entertaining results the reader can only admire in total awe – or start a religion.

What can you do with 13,138 dice standard six-sided dice? Why, you can make a portrait, of course! Artist Frederick McSwain created this massive dice portrait to commemorate the death of his friend. The dice are laid out on the floor with no adhesive.
It is awesome. We need one of these of Gary Gygax, I think.

Elton John's name turns 50 years old today… On May 7, 1968, singer-songwriter…
Written by megarock on May 11, 2018
Elton John's name turns 50 years old today…
On May 7, 1968, singer-songwriter Reginald Dwight legally changed his name. Reggie was in a band called "Bluesology" and he took his new first name from his bandmate Elton Dean and the new last name from Long John Baldry. Then for some reason he used "Hercules" for a middle name.
Yes you all know him now as Elton John.
Happy 50th New Name Birthday to Sir Elton!!!
And your favorite Elton John songs is???

We've also uploaded the EP version to Soundcloud ahead of the EP release at the end of this month. This is one of six tracks that make up the EP, there's another song from These Hours, one cover and three new songs. Wish You Were is the first song we picked when we started jamming together live. I love these expanded versions with Stephen's melodies and improvised lines. Watch and listen below - a big thank you goes to our friend Polly for capturing the video.

Landscape Photography Photo Hint - Get Better Sunset Photography With Shapes!
Today's landscape photography photo tip will continue our discussion of how to create beautiful sunset photography.
Formerly, we discovered the pretty colours are not enough. A star is needed by a winning sundown photo. Now let's add shapes to get better sunset photography.
In previous articles, we've mentioned that the star could be an interesting palm tree, a seagull flying by... basically anything! The magnificent colors are the backdrop to our star, not the focus of the photo.
But (as in our regular non sunset landscape pictures) the best star is an individual! People like looking at folks! You'll get the viewer more readily participated in a photo - any photo - where there are people being shown.
In a sunset photograph there is two ways to put in a man. In silhouette showing no element and normally revealing full detail.
Now's sundown photography photo trick will discuss including a silhouetted individual. Or actually anything - the principles are valid regardless of what your 'star' is. Done well, the outcome can be one of the very exquisite pictures you may ever create.

When adding a silhouette, the key element to keep in mind is that you are adding a contour, not a man (or bird or tree). Your shape will soon be pure black with no detail.
In sundown photography, getting the shape that is black that is pure with no detail is actually quite easy. In our previous discussions, we have learned that if we take our meter readings from the sky - everything else in our sundown photo will go black. Ta-daaa!
Previously, our concern was to bring detail into the dark areas - now we just have them go dim.
So to put in a shape, the first step would be to meter from the sky, not the man. Your camera will make a mighty effort at setting an exposure to reveal detail should you meter from the person.
In other words, you need to take the camera off automatic - meter for the sky and then re-compose to set your 'star' in the right position in the photo.
The 2nd concern we've got in adding a shape is really more challenging to get right.
Remember, you're adding a shape and everything but the sky is black with no detail. Including the ground. When you add your shape, it's to 'read' correctly.
By 'read' I mean that when someone looks at your photo, they must certanly have the ability to instantly tell what it really is. In case your subject is standing in front of another item, like a palm tree, stone or whatever - the (black with no detail) shapes will combine together and distort the image.

This notion is hard to put in words but easy to understand. I'm certain you have seen photographs where the shapes mixed together and neither appears right. Someone with a palm tree growing out of their head, a palm tree using a seagull's wing sticking out of the trunk and so on...
Be sure that there's nothing intersecting with your silhouetted shape.
This consists of the ground... The bottom half is lost in the ground although often I see silhouettes where the top half of the model is in silhouette. You might have to shoot up at your star from a marginally lower vantage point to prevent this type of blending.
The third factor to consider is the shape itself! Not only do you have to be on the lookout for your shape not reading right because it combines with others, it can combine with itself too! Arms crossing in front of the body or hanging (with no openings) along the sides, legs together and so on.
The pose is critical, to get a productive shape! Even more so than in a normal photo of the man. The reality that she is a girl that is pretty doesn't matter in this situation. In a silhouette, no one is going to be able to tell what she looks like.
Take photo examples out of magazines and color them using a black magic marker. Would that model 'read' and be effective if that was all you could see of the person?
Hats and other clothing could dramatically alter the form and look bizarre in silhouette. In silhouette, it looks like demon's horns sticking out of her head, although it may look like a tiara in the wedding pictures.
Study various poses for their shapes and find several you can use when you are making silhouettes. Add them to your notebook when the specific situation appears, so that you will always have them at hand.
Silhouettes are not only effective in sunset photography, but at weddings. Pose the couple in silhouette in front of a stained glass window for example. Or in the door of the church from outside silhouetting them together with the light.
Training today's landscape photography photo hint by including shapes on what steps to take to to get better sundown photography. There are numerous times when a shape is just the thing you must separate you from the crowd, its worth learning how to do them well. A

Through the pain and the trauma of giving birth, the delivery room will can throw up some absolute comedic gems – and the good folks on reddit have shared some bloody pearlers.*
We've posted links to the full threads at the end, but here are some of our favourites:
Wife: "(pant pant pant) I can smell poop, did I poop?"
Me: "No honey, everything looks fine, just relax"
Wife: "UUuAAaagggGHhHh (pant pant pant) You're a terrible f*cking liar! Why can't you lie better?!"
When my brother was born, they had to use forceps to get him out. My mum saw them and screamed:
When my first child was born his head was kind of misshapen, and when the doctor lifted him up to show my wife she yelled:
"Why the f*ck does he look like a raptor?"
I lost it.
While you're at it…
My friend said, as the doctor sutured her episiotomy:
"Sew it up all the way, doctor. We won't be using it anymore."
Gee, thanks mum
I was born a month early, with my umbilical cord wrapped around my neck twice. As a result, I was blue from oxygen deprivation. My mum, just having finished labour and not exactly in full mind, couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong. So, the first words she ever said about me, directly after I was born:
"She's not very pretty."
I got stuck inside my mum when she was giving birth to me. They had to use some tool to get me out. She screamed while they were doing it:
Wait, what?
When I was born, my dad didn't know that babies are usually born face down, and as I was coming out he screams:
On second thought…
Patient – fully dilated, started pushing, then changed her mind:
"I don't wanna do this, I'm going the f*ck home."
And then tried to get off the table.
Freudian slip
I'm white, Irish ancestry so I had red hair when I was a child, and my wife is black. Her sister was also in the delivery room. When the baby crowned her sister told her she could see the baby's hair. My wife who can barely breathe blurted out:
"The hair isn't red is it?!"
Apparently she was terrified the baby would be black with red hair.
We hired a doula for our first kid 4 years ago. She told us a story that I still laugh about.
She was with a couple that had been told they were having a daughter as their first kid. So like first-time parents they outdid themselves with everything pink, sparkly and frilly, the whole 9 yards.
Mum goes into labor and they call the doula to come in to be there for the birth. Mum's pushing, dad is cheerleading nervously. The baby pops out and the doula notices that the sonogram tech that said they were having a girl messed up.
The dad is too busy to notice anything is amiss. So the doula tells the dad to do a finger and toe count to clue him in. So the dad looks at the baby, sees 10 fingers and 10 toes and one penis.
Now he'd been told that he's having a daughter for the past 6 months and sees a penis, and the first thing he screams is:
Subscribe to DAD
Time to redecorate
From the birthing suite next door we could hear the usual calls for, 'push, push, ONE MORE TIME!'
A long, low moan, a baby's wails, people rushing about. Murmuring.
Then this woman screams stridently:
"What do you mean she's a boy? … The f*cking room is pink and yellow, you motherf*ckers!"
Mate, get your priorities straight!
My mother's labour was extremely short, I was born within an hour. So that means that she went from experiencing minimal pain, to extreme pain with little time to adjust.
When my dad was driving her to the hospital, he unfortunately had to stop for gas. He went into pay, and just then an elderly man in a wheelchair stopped him, asking him to buy cigarettes for him as the store was not wheelchair accessible.
My mum then proceeded to lean out the window, yelling "DONT HELP THE CRIPPLE."
We have never let her forget that one.
Not what I ordered
My mother was unexpectedly having her fourth child and chose not to find out the sex. For some reason, she became convinced it was a boy and would have bet the house on it. In the delivery room, they hand the baby to my dad and he joyfully tells my mum that they have a new baby girl.
Mum: What? No. Check again.
Dad: I'm pretty sure it's a girl, honey.
Mum: You're not looking hard enough!
Tough love
I'm a nurse and on clinicals we did an OB clinical rotation, which was by far my favorite. My favorite patient was giving birth vaginally and her husband, very sweet guy, leaned down to kiss her forehead and she full-on punched the shit out of him and said:
"F*ck you, f*cknuts! That's what got me here! Never again motherf*cker!"
Fear the bat
My dad was holding my mum's hand and suffering for her grip, spouting off random comfort. She looked him dead in the eye, face red and eyes bulging, and said:
"Don't. F*cking. Tell me. WHAT. TO DO."
Apparently she sounded a bit like Christian Bale's Batman.

About me
A Personal mission
I want to help bring you back to your freedom. Your freedom to let go of habits that no longer serve you, from a relationship that's run its course, from your loneliness, from an addiction or compulsive behaviour, or from past events. Your freedom is always there, but it can be easy, for a huge variety of reasons, to feel lost or separated from it.
Whatever you're facing, it doesn't make sense to you, and so you don't know what to do about it. That's where I come in. Not because I know what to do but because I'll try to help you figure it out.
Previously, I enjoyed a 20+ year career leading teams in technology. I was also Chair of LGBT Humanists, campaigning for social change and speaking at rallies. I practice yoga (flow and yin), piano (grade 1, 2019) and meditate.
I am a student of the scientific enlightenment and an unenlightened Bodhisattva.
I trained as a psychotherapist at Regent's School of Psychology and Psychotherapy, London. This training combines psychodynamic and integrative schools with a distinct existential edge. The existential school is a philosophical enquiry into what life is. Psychotherapy isn't about proving theories. It's practical wisdom for you, about you, as discovered in meeting me. I embody an open but critical attitude toward categories and diagnoses to help you investigate your experience in pursuit of new possibilities. You may read more about the existential approach to psychotherapy here.
