Updated at 12:37 p.m. ET
National security adviser Robert O'Brien promised a "professional transition" with the incoming administration of President-elect Joe Biden, partly diverging from the mode in use by President Trump, who says he contests the election.
"If the Biden-Harris ticket is determined to be the winner — and, obviously, things look that way now — we'll have a very professional transition with the National Security Council, no doubt about it," O'Brien said.
His remarks, which were made last week, were streamed onlineMonday by the Soufan Center's Global Security Forum.
Trump has refused to acknowledge the results of the Nov. 3 election, which he lost to Biden. He has falsely proclaimed several times on Twitter that he "won the election" or complained about the process.
The president's supporters have sought to make clear they believe Trump has the right to make his series of legal challenges, few of which have met with success.
Some Republicans, however, are dropping that pose, including Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, who appeared Sunday on NBC's Meet the Press and said, "We want to make sure that there is a smooth transition."
Trump took aim Monday at another onetime ally, Ohio Republican Gov. Mike DeWine, who also has acknowledged the results of the race and contemplated the incoming Biden administration. Trump suggested on Twitter he might throw his support behind a primary challenger when DeWine is up for reelection in 2022.
Latest break between president, national security bosses
O'Brien, meanwhile, addressed the personnel he expected to encounter in the incoming administration, specialists he called "very professional folks who are coming in to take these positions, many of whom have been here before and spent a lot of time in the White House in prior administrations."
It wasn't clear whether O'Brien might pay a price within the White House for his divergence from the official line. Trump not only has attacked politicians who've acknowledged the results of the election, but the administration also has fired a number of officials in various Cabinet departments and may remove more of them.
Tension between the president and his national security advisers has run for years, often over contradictions between what they say is true and Trump's statements or his objectives.
Intelligence and national security officials told members of Congress they did not believe North Korea would ever surrender its nuclear program, for example, even as Trump continued to try to achieve that aim by negotiating with dictator Kim Jong Un.
O'Brien suggested in his remarks released Monday, which alluded to the delayed transition following the 2000 election, that eventually the process of handing over responsibility would begin in earnest and move ahead as it always has.
"The great thing is, this is the United States of America; we've passed the baton and had peaceful successful transitions even in the most contentious periods."

Dear Partner,
We know that students who are pregnant and parenting need extra support to have a healthy baby, stay in school and engage in a meaningful career. Many organizations in our community provide resources and services for these students: the 2nd Edition Healthy Nashville, Healthy Future resource guide provides you with a list of these important resources and services to make it easier for young people to be supported as both young adults and responsible parents. Since the publication of the 1st Edition in 2009, Nashville has seen a decline in the overall number of students who need pregnancy and parenting support as well as an overall decline in the number of babies who do not live to see their first birthday. While these changes are positive, there are still many students who need support and continuing challenges to ensure Nashville is the healthiest city for children, youth and families. Our work continues to create linkages between community providers, school professionals, and to support young people as both students and parents.
The 2nd Edition Healthy Nashville, Healthy Future guide is organized according to the point at which students are most likely to access services: prenatal/pregnancy, post-partum and infant care/parenting. The Healthy Starts A-Team has reviewed each entry for appropriateness. While the A-Team has made every effort to create a complete guide, we know that there are services that are not included in this listing. We intend to update the guide at least annually and will provide updates electronically. If you would like to receive electronic updates as well as have an opportunity to provide feedback on the guide please email Jaleesa Johnson, Team Coordinator, email@example.com.

When will the next show be? How many on the tour? Where will they play? Are they going international? The story goes on an on. Rumors are an ever-present part of the Phish landscape; they exist because we want them to. Everyone wants to guess, refute, and predict just where the next cosmic conference will be. With so-called reliable sources ranging from "a friend who knows Page's brother" to "someone in the music industry," everyone gets their word from someone who "knows." As rumored dates come and go, your expectations rise and fall as well, so what have "people" have been saying?
Maybe in March. Maybe in the summer. Maybe in March in Europe. I have heard all of those from different people within the last little bit. In March they have venues booked, so they say. Hampton, MSG, Philly, and Boston? Maybe so, maybe not. Phish has been known to book venues, just in case, and let the dates sail on by. As weird as Europe sounds, it would make sense that the band would want to play some smaller scale "warm- up" shows before stepping on stage in a rowdy arena. Their initial comeback into four high key arena gigs didn't work out so well. Maybe so, Maybe not. They'll just wait until summer, and practice a lot. Make a new album and come out loaded with new material. Maybe so, maybe not.
It's all just words until we read it on Phish.com, but it is always fun to speculate. Just another area where Phish imitates life, rumors are everywhere. Pervading all areas of celebrity and entertainment, politics and sports, circles of friends and extended families, rumors live everywhere we turn. But when it comes to Phish, rumors get the heart pacing a bit faster than the latest US Weekly, and create that feeling in your stomach when you really think that they may be true. Announcements could come at any time, especially if they are playing in March. Who knows? And that is the fun of this all. Except for the insiders, everyone is grasping for the same knowledge, like Colonel Forbin looking for The Book. As Bob Marley once sang, "Oh, time will tell."
One of the standout shows from a standout summer, this well circulated FM Broadcast soundboard source is quite crispy. A setlist looking like it was written by a fan, the Phish came with no-nonsense on this evening. A staple of every collection, this one is a must own. Grab it now if you don't have it! (Also, I am uploading a remastered Nashville source, and will link it at the bottom.)
I: Wilson, Chalk Dust Torture, You Enjoy Myself, Rift, Down With Disease, It's Ice, Tela, Stash
II: Also Sprach Zarathustra > Run Like an Antelope, Fluffhead, Scent of a Mule, Split Open and Melt, The Squirming Coil, Maze, Contact > Frankenstein
E: Suzy Greenberg
Last "Frankenstein", 07-26-91
This remaster, though I do not know how the original was altered, sound significantly more balanced in my opinion. This is just the second "set".

So what have I been doing over the past few weeks? We'll, I've been working on four vintage outfits for guild events this year, plus I have completely remodeled and reorganized my sewing room, which was the biggest project of all. I'm still working on decorating it and making everything pretty now, and hopefully I'll be able to share some before and after pics with you soon.
But in the meantime, I thought I would post a few of the sewing room projects that I've been working on. As usual, I've been hugely inspired by a bunch of crafty pins on Pinterests, and that's where I found this tutorial about recovering an old ironing board. I don't have the space to keep a full-sized ironing board out in my new sewing space, so I decided to just recover my table-top board from college and use that on my cutting table when I need it for quick work. Mine isn't nearly as bright and fun as some of the recovered boards that I've seen on Pinterest, but it has 1/4" stripes on it, which makes it wonderful for pleating and measuring fabric as I iron, and it is just SO much cleaner and nicer than my old cover. It's amazing how big of a difference little stuff like that can make. The whole project only took me 20 minutes from start to finish, and I felt so nice when it was done that I was wondering why I never thought of doing this before!
So what are some of your favorite DIY sewing room projects or sewing room-related inspirations? I've been having so much fun seeing what other people do to organize and beautify their creative spaces.

At left: A more traditional palette with navy. At right: Today's inspiration palette.
I don't want to mislead you into thinking that I fit all my gear into a tiny purse. I had a lot of crap to haul in today, including my fabric-covered, floral shoes. (I wore my galoshes in the rain.) It took a total of three bags to get my stuff in to work.
These shoes stay far, far away from mud puddles.
Speaking of mud, I tripped and fell about halfway through my 5 mile run this morning. I only damaged my skin (and my pride), but I wonder what people thought when they saw me jogging along, covered in dirt and scratches, oozing blood from one knee.

So in preparation for Memorial Day weekend, at Buehler's, we once again descended upon Rehoboth Beach and worked on bruising the family liver. First up was happy hour at Delfini's, where I tried my first ever Dirty Martini. Which I thought was very good, but quite pretty salty. Next I tried, and really enjoyed a Gin Gimlet. After that it was off to Wahoo for a special birthday party for Slyvia. There we were pleased to find Jim Morris on stage doing a solo set.
The next day was the Boat Drinks Botanical put on by the DSPHC. Which as always was a blast, the Calypso Nuts were there, as well as Jim Morris and the Big Bamboo Band. The above picture of my feet was taken while just relaxing and enjoying myself. Unlike the JO parrothead who was either too drunk or too stupid to figure out that I was standing in line holding a plate when he called me an ass for "not being in line". I only saw some lady, whom I hope has more respect for herself than to be married to that JO, walk away with him in tow, and no more for the rest of the day. I tell ya, it is really guys like him that give parrotheads and the Church of Jimmy a bad name… Kinda makes me glad I've never seen JB in concert.. But I digress..
The next day, it was up and back to Jersey for a meeting at the Hoban's for a pre-Buehler's planning commission meeting. AKA a bbq and some wine, all I know is I have to get a buttload of goldfish for this weekend. 🙂
I've added some pics from this weekend, as well as added a bunch from my phone in the 2009 photo gallery. I also expect to be updating more frequently, and also letting you know where my feet have taken me!

Since March 2020, North Americans have lived with the daily threat of Covid-19. Despite the many challenges the world crisis brought, especially for high-risk populations like older adults, there have also been silver linings – like moments for seniors to connect with their loved ones and communities in new ways.
In the month of March, Home Instead will share Covid-19 challenges, inspiring stories and research on this page. Please check back for weekly updates. You can also share your silver linings story on our Facebook page.
March 31, 2021: 5 Caregiving Tips to Continue Navigating Covid-19
From Home Instead and the National Alliance for Caregiving, consider these tips for helping to stay connected as we continue to navigate the pandemic.
- Look for resources in your area. Contact your local Area Agency on Aging. For caregiving tips, check out the resources of the National Alliance for Caregiving and find free caregiving support tips and respite care.
- Find outlets for respite. If you can't get away for an extended time, take regular renewal breaks such as a walk in the park, meditation, a long bath or an afternoon movie viewing. To learn more about the value of home care, reach out to a local office near you.
- Balance the risk. It's important to keep a loved one safe, but just as important is avoiding burnout. You can't take care of another if you don't take care of yourself. This will look different for every caregiver so understand what you need and make a plan to get help.
- Continue to find ways to safely connect. Creative ideas emerged throughout the pandemic, from drive-by parades that celebrated special events to Zoom calls, families were ingenious. Continuing to generate fun and safe activities will benefit the entire family.
- Get the support you need. Online support groups can help family caregivers connect with others and potentially relieve some of the tension and stress of family caregiving during a pandemic.
March 19, 2021: Unexpected Connections Can Be a Silver Lining for Isolated Seniors
One silver lining of the year-long pandemic has been the opportunity to make unexpected connections with aging adults. Learn how this Denver, CO, CAREGiver tapped into an older woman's love of art to ease her anxiety and loneliness. Helping aging adults focus on what they love most is keeping seniors positive during these difficult times.
March 17, 2021: Research Reveals It's Not All Doom and Gloom
A recent Home Instead study highlights that silver linings are catching on:
- 66% of older adults feel more hopeful about the next year
- 29% feel a deeper connection to their loved ones today than before
- 72% plan to still use technology to communicate with others
Download the COVID-19 One Year Later Research Summary to learn more about how older adults are making deeper connections and using technology for the better.
March 1, 2021: Covid-19 Brings Challenges and Silver Linings for Older Adults and Family Caregivers
The pandemic that emerged in early 2020 had a monumental impact on aging adults and their families. Not only did COVID-19 take a toll on older adults physically, the isolation and loneliness that ensued created an even greater risk for many vulnerable seniors. And for thousands of families, caregiving became a new way of life.
"A lot of families were thrown into a caregiving role," noted Home Instead® Gerontologist and Caregiver Advocate Lakelyn Hogan, Ph.D. "Family members were finding themselves with more responsibilities and sometimes trying to support aging loved ones from a distance."
"Others have been sandwiched between kids and work and caregiving responsibilities," explained C. Grace Whiting J.D., CEO of the National Alliance for Caregiving. "Research has shown that Covid-19 contributed to added stressors that have forced family caregivers to go above and beyond."
Aging adults have faced a different challenge. With lockdowns ordered in cities and care communities throughout North America, so many older adults found themselves completely alone. "The number one impact Covid-19 has had on older adults is feelings of loneliness and isolation," Whiting explained.
Families and Communities Find Ways to Support Older Adults
Despite the challenges that so many aging adults and their families faced, there were silver linings in the pandemic.
"There's been a rise in volunteerism," Whiting said. "For example, the Nextdoor app launched a help map and groups to bring neighbors together."
Volunteers are also able to participate in remote service opportunities, like writing a letter to a senior pen pal to help combat feelings of loneliness and isolation among older adults.
"Another [silver linings] is people feeling more comfortable with technology," Whiting said. "I used to say to my parents and in-laws, 'let's do video calls.' It was like pulling teeth, but now they've gotten more comfortable with it."
Among the most significant benefits are more of an emphasis on family and awareness of caregiving. "Families were looking for more ways to connect and keep their seniors safe in an ever-changing pandemic," Hogan said.
Share Your Silver Linings
From grandchildren who are now connecting remotely with their older loved ones more than they ever did in-person prior to the pandemic, to aging parents who are now thriving at home with their adult children after the decision was made to bring them home from a facility, there is good news to share. The team at Home Instead would love to hear your silver linings story.
- Are you part of a new multigenerational family living situation?
- Do you know a senior who has adopted a pet for companionship or receives regular visits from someone else's pet?
- Do you know volunteers who have organized activities that help aging adults feel more connected to their communities?
- Has a volunteer, community member or professional caregiver helped seniors adjust to lockdowns in some way?
- Is there an older adult you know who has learned a new skill or started a new hobby since lockdown began?
- Do you know someone who is using a skill to give back to others, like this 84-year-old who knit scarves for the homeless?
"It's important to continue a dialogue about the positives," Hogan added, "because this isn't over. We need to be ready for the months ahead. Positive thinking, a focus on hope and attention to mental wellness will help."

Your healthcare provider says that you have diabetes. This is why you may have been feeling sick. But you can learn how to live with diabetes and feel better. Having diabetes isn't your fault! It does mean making some changes in your life. You might feel like there's a lot to learn. But diabetes doesn't have to stop you from doing the things you like to do.
Finding out that you have diabetes can be hard. But you don't have to face it alone. Lots of people will help you. Your helpers are called your "diabetes team." The team may include your parents, brothers and sisters, and your family healthcare provider. There are also some special team members who know a lot about diabetes. These people are:
Endocrinologist. This is a medical doctor who treats children with diabetes. This healthcare provider is known as a specialist because they have in-depth knowledge about diabetes.
Dietitian. A dietitian teaches you about the best foods for you to eat and how food affects your blood sugar.
Diabetes educator. A diabetes educator is someone like a nurse, pharmacist, occupational therapist, or social worker. They teach you how to manage your blood sugar.
Occupational therapist. An occupational therapist can help you with any sports, studies, or hobbies you have so that diabetes will not interfere with your continuing to excel in them.
Pediatrician or family healthcare provider. This is a healthcare provider who takes care of any other health problems and is often referred to as a primary care provider.
Pharmacist. This person fills the prescriptions for your diabetes medicines.
Podiatrist. This healthcare provider deals with any complications of the feet.
Dentist. This healthcare provider makes sure your teeth are as healthy as they can be.
Ophthalmologist. This healthcare provider watches for eye problems related to diabetes.
You'll see your diabetes team members often. It's their job to help you learn about diabetes. But the most important person who can help you is YOU! You can become a diabetes detective. A diabetes detective looks for clues about what's happening in their body. This means doing things like checking your blood sugar and writing down the numbers. Then, you can help your parents figure out how much insulin you need. Being a diabetes detective will help you stay healthier and feel better. Diabetes detective work might seem hard. But you don't have to be good at all this stuff right away. Don't be afraid to ask a grownup for help when you need it. Ask as many questions as you want about diabetes and how to take care of yourself. The more information a detective has, the more powerful they can be! With practice, you'll be a great detective!
Your teachers and other adults at school will learn how to help you. By the time you talk to them, you may already know more about diabetes than they do!
First, your parents will meet with your teachers and the school nurse. They will need to decide who will help you with your insulin shots.
Your parents will explain that you need to check your blood sugar often. Talk with your parents and teachers to find out where the best place is for testing your blood sugar. Make sure you have a source of glucose (sugar) available. This is so you can eat or drink something right away if your glucose level is low.
Taking care of your blood sugar in class means you can feel better and keep up with your schoolwork. And it means you won't have to stop playing sports and being active at school. Always wear your medical alert ID. That way, in case of an emergency, people will know you have diabetes. Know where your daily and emergency diabetes supplies are stored. Set a good example by always safely disposing of any used diabetes equipment.
Like food and insulin, being active can help you manage your blood sugar. Activity, such as playing sports or riding a bike, can help keep your blood sugar from getting too high. But too much activity can sometimes make your blood sugar fall too low. That's why it's important to check your blood sugar more often when you are active. You may also need to adjust how much insulin you take when you are active. Your diabetes team can tell you how.
You don't have to talk about diabetes with anyone unless you want to. But your friends might have questions. Try not to get mad, even if their questions seem silly. Before you had diabetes, you probably didn't know much about it either. Many kids find that telling their friends about their diabetes can help. Your true friends are the ones who support you in taking care of yourself. If your friends know about your diabetes, they can act as your "backup" detectives. They can learn the signs of low blood sugar. Then, if you are acting "low," they can get an adult to help.
While most friends are kind and helpful, sometimes there are bullies in school who might say or do unkind things. Misuse of social media makes it especially easy to be cruel to others. If someone bullies you, either in person or through social media, tell a trusted adult right away.
There will be times when you feel totally on top of things. But sometimes, you may feel really tired of dealing with diabetes. When this happens, don't give up! Ask for help. Your diabetes team is there to help you find ways to make things easier. You don't have to be perfect. You can make changes to your plan and still be healthy. You might want to ask your parents about going to a diabetes camp. It's a place to hang out and have fun with other kids who have diabetes. They understand what you're going through because they're going through it, too.

Tributes to Dr. Jerry Beavan
"ANC"—American News Commentary—is now in its 10th year of publication by email. From day-one of publication it has met a need, and has fulfilled its purpose, in the words of one regular reader, "ANC should be distributed far and wide. I don't think there's anything like it anywhere."
He is probably right. A weekly commentary on the current news, written from a Pro-American, Conservative, Evangelical Christian viewpoint by mature, experienced, knowledgeable observers of the American and international scene and based on thorough scholarly research, is truly unique, and it is doubtful that "there's anything like it anywhere."
ANC has a distinct advantage in the current American situation; that advantage is expressed in the brief phrase: knowledge based on experience. Here in America we have a president involving us in wars who wasn't even born at the time of World War II, the Korean conflict and Viet Nam. He is expected to deal with an economy in recession, but he wasn't born when we went through the Great Depression. But the men who prepare and present ANC were here and experienced those events, and others which have paved the road we must travel today, and in the years ahead. These are not inexperienced amateurs. They are mature, experienced and knowledgeable—not going through "on the job training."
ANC will interpret current events from a viewpoint you can depend on, and provide its readers with a commentary to help understand what is happening today, and to bring about changes to result in a better tomorrow.

Mercedes reveal dramatic sidepod redesign at Bahrain test
Mercedes's F1 W13 car at today's Bahrain pre-season test turned out to be a different beast compared to what the team tested at Barcelona two weeks ago. The team have made it a tradition to use an early version of the development to test first before introducing the latest and greatest aerodynamic developments in the final test before the season kicks off. Eyes turned when the car was revealed with a major development of the sidepods and floor.
Though the BCN iteration already featured narrow and compact sidepods, the inlet was high up and the upper side impact structure nicely integrated into the sidepod body. This new version however has a narrow and high cooling inlet, wider at the bottom than at the top. This means there is no real undercut on the sidepods, but instead a slanted surface that allowed Mercedes engineers to package components low to the floor and closer to the car's centreline, something that theoretically helps the car's dynamics.
The side impact structure is now also completely detached from the sidepod, allow air to flow underneath it and still over and around the sidepod surface. It is now basically a separate wing that provides home for the mandatory crash structure and is a support for the wing mirrors and some vertical winglets on the upper surface. This particular design feature raised some eyebrows early on with Red Bull Team Principal Christian Horner saying 30mins after seeing the car that some features "don't follow the spirit of the rules".
Further back, the same "narrow" philosophy is used, and just like in BCN, the engine cover has a high shoulder line but is very narrow top to bottom, quite similar to what the Mercedes-powered Williams team are doing.
Along with the sidepod update, Mercedes have added a fence on the outer side of the floor channels, trying to fend off the turbulence coming off the front wheels. The wavy edge of the floor, something that features uniquely on the BCN W13, is now gone.
We truly are nearing the no-sidepod F1 car...

Brett is traveling for business again this weekend and week, so you know what that means! More tea cup and antique shopping! Since Father's Day was this weekend, I asked my father to ride along. I have pretty much checked all the local area's antique stores and flea markets for tea cups, so I decided to change locations. We heading up Route 17 to Gloucester, Virginia and then jumped on to Route 33 and then to Route 3 (Kings Highway), which takes us up through the Northern Neck of Virginia and to Route 301 (James Madison Highway) that takes us to Belle Grove Plantation.
Our first stop was at an antique store that Brett and I have passed many times on the way to the plantation from our current home in Chesapeake. It is located in Saluda, Virginia, just outside Gloucester. It is called the Treasure Antiques Thrift store. I met the owner as soon as I came in. Once I told him what we were doing and what I was looking for, he quickly helped me locate several cups that met my needs. He even worked out a good deal for me so we could get all of them! What a score! I did have a picture of him and the inside of the shop, but sadly I lost it along with three other pictures when I downloaded some pictures last night. (Bummer) But I know we will be returning so I can get another one next time! John was also helpful in telling us where some other locations were that we might want to hit up! And he even had a map with all the antique stores in the area that we could take with us! I knew after this, it was going to be a good day!
After we left we hit up two of the locations John had recommended that were close, but sadly one we couldn't find. The second one, we did find, but I was only able to find one plate there that fit my needs. There was a second plate that I was on the fence about, but decided to leave it. Now I wish I didn't because it would have matched a cup and saucer perfectly. Guess I will have to go back and hope that it's there!
From here we headed towards Kilmarnock across the Rappahannock River. Just as we crossed the river, I sighted a small house that had a sign that read "Revolutionary War / Civil War / Indian Artifacts". I quickly made a U-turn and headed to the house. What a great stop!
As you walk into this store, you are greeted by a Union soldier's uniform and Indian Shirt with beading. The front room is filled with anything and everything Revolutionary and Civil War time periods. It was overwhelming. I just didn't know where to begin. The back door opened and I looked up half expecting Mel Gibson's character, "Benjamin Martin" to appear. The owner, Chris Trimble greeted me and helped me locate several of his prized items.
The first was a portrait of Mary Ball Washington, mother of George Washington. This was really something to see! (It was also one of the lost pictures from my download) Chris explained that it was of Mary when George would have been just 1 ½ years old. He also told us that there was a companion portrait of Augustine Washington, George Washington's father, that went with this portrait of Mary. That portrait is located in the Smithsonian in Washington D.C. The next piece he showed us was a snuff box. He told us that it had been handed down through his family and had once been owned by Henry "Light-Horse Harry" Lee and Robert E. Lee! (another lost picture). Then he showed us two buttons from the uniform of the paymaster on the Titanic. (another lost picture-but don't worry! We are going back!)
Chris continued to show us around looking at buttons from the Revolutionary and Civil War time periods, swords, uniforms, dish, Indian Artifacts and so much more. Chris also makes and restores period furniture. I think we are going to have to look into this when we get the furniture for the house!
We left there and head to a restaurant we passed as we crossed the bridge called "Willaby's on the Rappahannock" for some hamburgers and a great view of the river.
Then it was back to Route 3 and up towards Belle Grove. This drive was wonderful! It was filled with small towns and crossroads. But what struck me was the fact that this was the road that great men traveled. As we made our way up, we passed Stratford Hall, home of the Lee Family and Robert E. Lee (just 20 minutes from Belle Grove) and the birthplace of George Washington (just 15 minutes from Belle Grove) and the birthplace of James Monroe (just 10 minutes from Belle Grove). We also passed Vineyards and Wineries and antique shops!
Our last antique stop was just 10 minutes from Belle Grove. It is a big red barn set up in a flea market style. I scored big here!
Then we head to our favorite candy stop in King George, Mary's Cakery and Candy Kitchen, where my father purchased a small bag of candy. He told me that he was going to eat just a couple, but they didn't last long. They were pretty much gone by the time we reached Belle Grove. I knew they wouldn't last. They are so addictive!
We made a quick stop at Belle Grove so my father could see it and I could get some more pictures of the house and "Dolley", our resident osprey. She was being her normal self, screeching and flying around because someone was there. As she flew off the nest, I walked around to the Riverside to take a few pictures of the house and of her flying and landing back on the nest. As I walked back around to the Plantation side, something caught my eye. I reached down and picked up what looks to be some kind of pottery. So I put it in my pocket and headed back to the car.
On a closer look of this piece, it looks like pottery and it looks like it has a barnacle attached to it. The barnacle is worn down somewhat. I am thinking maybe it was in the river at one point and it washed up during a flood. I am not sure. If anyone thinks they know what it is, let me know! I would love to figure this one out.
We ended our day with a visit to Hornes Truck Stop in Port Royal for an old fashion hamburger. Anyone that travels Route 17 through Port Royal knows about this place! One of the best stops for fast food on Route 17. And it is only yards away from the site where John Wilkes Booth was killed at Garrett's Farm.
All and in all it was a great day. Great finds, great food and good company. So now, on Father's Day with Brett still away, I guess I have only one thing to do… go antique shopping.

Ariana Grande Has a Strict New Photo Policy and Concert Photographers Are Furious
Ariana Grande has introduced some ground rules for concert photographers that she hopes will prevent her from being ripped off in the future, but not everyone is happy about it.
Sources close to the singer told TMZ Grande implemented a new concert photography policy, which stems from years of exploitation from photo agencies. According to the outlet, Photographers would take photos of the "thank u, next" singer performing, and then flip them for profit. Grande's picture would appear on things like clothing and calendars she didn't approve, and she wouldn't get a cut of the profit from the sale of the items.
StereoGum reported that one stipulation in the new policy requires that photographers provide GrandAriTour, Inc. with digital files, which may be used "for personal, commercial, and/or archival use by Company and Artist." The photographer will not be compensated for the use of their photographs if they are used.
In addition to the new policy, restricting use of Grande's likeness for profit, the singer has her own in-house photographer. That photographer will distribute photos of Grande, according to TMZ, but all photos must be approved for whatever use by the musician. The National Press Photographers Association (NPPA) in particular has been upset by the issue, along with a handful of publications and other individual concert photographers.
NPPA has teamed up with the Associated Press, New York Times, Los Angeles Times and 12 other publications to send a letter formally requesting that GrandAriTour, Inc. revise it's policy, calling it an "over-reach." The letter says that Grande's new policy is "troubling."
"This surprising and very troubling over-reach by Ms. Grande runs counter to legal and industry standards and is anathema to core journalistic principles of t he news organizations represented here," NPPA general counsel Mickey H. Osterreicher said in the letter.
While photographers have taken issue with the policy, Grande isn't the first artist to introduce such rules. According to StereoGum, Lady Gaga issued a contract requiring a Washington, D.C, television photographer to sign away his photo rights to her in 2011. Taylor Swift pulled something similar in 2015, and was accused of rights-grabbing by some news outlets who were forced to agree to her strict photography rules.
Photographer Keith A. Griner told the outlet he considers Grande's policy "stealing." He added that it forces the person to give up rights to their art, which he didn't agree with.
"The law states that the entity or person that creates, the photographer, is the owner of the copyright — so they're stripping that from you," he said.
Grande hasn't said any more about the new policy, or addressed the criticism.

The UN Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) reports that world food prices decreased at the end of April after reaching an all-time high in March amid the conflict in Ukraine. In April, the FAO Food Price Index was 158.2 points, down 0.8 percent from March, but still nearly 30 percent higher than in April 2021. The Index tracks monthly changes in the international prices of a basket of food commodities, and the decrease was mainly driven by lower prices for vegetable oils and cereals. While the mild decrease in the index is a welcome relief for low-income countries suffering from food insecurity, food prices remain near their recent highs, indicating persistent market tightness and putting pressure on global food security.
Vegetable oil prices dropped 5.7 percent in April, almost a third of the increase in March. The FAO said demand rationing led to lower prices for palm, sunflower, and soy oils. In addition, uncertainty surrounding supply from Indonesia, the world's leading palm oil exporter, held prices back on the international market. Due to a 3.0 percent decline in world maize prices, the FAO Cereal Price Index decreased by 0.7 points in April. Due to the continued blockade of ports in Ukraine, wheat prices rose 0.2 percent. Together with Russia, it accounts for about 30 percent of global wheat exports. Concerns over crop conditions in the United States were also factors behind the increase, though they were moderated by larger shipments from India and higher-than-expected exports from Russia.
International rice prices rose by 2.3 percent due to strong demand from China and the Near East. Additionally, the FAO released updated forecasts for world cereal supply and demand, indicating that despite rising stocks, trade is likely to decline for this year. The global wheat harvest will exceed 782 million tonnes this year. This includes a 20 percent decrease in harvested areas in Ukraine and a decline due to drought in Morocco. The FAO reported that the Sugar Price Index rose 3.3 percent in April. This was primarily due to higher ethanol prices and concerns over the slow start of the harvest in Brazil, the world's biggest sugar exporter.
Last month, FAO Meat Price Index increased by 2.2 percent as poultry, pig and bovine meat prices rose. The cost of poultry was affected by disruptions to exports from Ukraine and avian influenza outbreaks in the northern hemisphere. The Dairy Price Index also jumped by 0.9 percent, driven by what FAO described as persistent global supply tightness. This is due to milk output in Western Europe and Oceania continuing to track below seasonal levels. The agency reported that world butter prices rose the most, influenced by rising demand associated with the current shortage of sunflower oil and margarine.

40 Years Ago: Pat Benatar's Debut Album Goes From 'Disaster' to Success
On Aug. 27, 1979, Pat Benatar released her debut album, In the Heat of the Night. The LP launched the singer's career, helping her to become one of the biggest stars of the '80s. Amazingly, it almost didn't see the light of day.
The singer's path to stardom came in an unlikely way. After initially planning to become a schoolteacher, the young Patricia Mae Andrzejewsk (as she was then called) began dreaming of music stardom. She had always had a good voice, performing in her school choir. One former teacher even called a meeting with her parents just to make sure they understood the scope of their daughter's talent.
Her last name changed to Benatar after a 1972 marriage, and not long afterward the fledgling performer scored a regular gig singing at the Catch a Rising Star comedy club in New York. These performances helped Benatar cut her teeth, while also allowing her freedom to try new things. The singer dabbled in cabaret and even performed in an off-Broadway rock musical, all while working to develop her sound.
As the buzz around Benatar's performances began to grow, music executives started checking out her shows. She eventually signed a deal with Chrysalis Records.
In her 2010 memoir, Between a Heart and a Rock Place, Benatar described the first meeting with her new label. "I explained what I wanted to accomplish, trying to describe for them the hard-rock sound that I was working to articulate but had yet to achieve," she recalled. "The thought of having a female front person who could compete with male rockers, filling arenas, selling massive amounts of records, was unheard of."
Conceptualizing that groundbreaking sound was one thing; bringing it to life was another. The label's first course was to assemble some of New York's best session musicians to help their new artist record her debut album. On the surface, this seemed like a wise move, but Benatar described the sessions as "a disaster."
"Everything was wrong," she noted. "The tracks were played technically well, but they had no soul, no passion. The recordings were a fiasco. I cried for days, saying that I was finished before I'd even started."
Listen to Pat Benatar's 'I Need a Lover'
Chrysalis decided to change course, bringing in producer Mike Chapman, who'd previously worked with Blondie and the Knack. The move proved monumental. "He got it," Benatar said of Champan. "He knew exactly what I had been talking about" in terms of musical direction.
At Chapman's suggestion, guitarist Neil "Spyder" Giraldo was brought on board. Benatar sensed a connection with the musician the second he arrived.
"From the moment we first started collaborating, I knew Spyder was a visionary," Benatar remarked. "His mind never stopped. He was constantly experimenting and trying new things, yet he knew precisely what needed to be pushed farther and what needed to be discarded. It was exactly what I had been missing."
The chemistry extended beyond music. Benatar would divorce her first husband and later marry Giraldo.
With a new set of creative minds surrounding her, Benatar's debut album began to click. "Heartbreaker" immediately appeared as a stand-out track. "It was a blistering recording, setting the tone for the entire record," Benatar recalled in her memoir.
Elsewhere, the album featured three songs penned by Chapman and his writing partner, Nicky Chinn: "If You Think You Know How to Love Me," "No You Don't" and the title track, "In the Heat of the Night." A cover of John Cougar Mellencamp's "I Need a Lover," a track Benatar says she was "instantly drawn to," also made the LP.
Listen to Pat Benatar's 'Heartbreaker'
Still, the singer viewed "Heartbreaker" as the album's defining song. She hoped to make it the lead single and was upset with record executives when she didn't get her way. "Chrysalis lived in fear of disco's popularity and wouldn't release ["Heartbreaker"], Benatar asserted in her autobiography.
Instead, the label went with "I Need a Lover" and "If You Think You Know How to Love Me" as the first two singles. Though they received some radio airplay, the tracks failed to make a major commercial impact. Backs against the wall, the label agreed to release "Heartbreaker."
The song proved to be Benatar's breakthrough single, peaking at No. 23 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The track also proved to have impressive longevity, spending more than four months on the U.S. chart.
Decades later, the singer referred to the track as the most important of her career. "I love 'Heartbreaker,'" Benatar declared during a 2014 interview with NPR. "It still works to me. The sentiment is still timely and it just works."
The success of "Heartbreaker" propelled In the Heat of the Night's sales. In March 1980, seven months after its initial release, the album hit No. 12, its high-water mark on the sales chart. In total, the LP sold more than a million copies in the U.S., catapulting Benatar into a decade of music dominance.

Hope Downs
Label: Sub Pop
Catalog #: 71220
The hard-hitting debut album is a testament to Rolling Blackouts C.F.'s tight-knit and hard-working bonafides. Prior to forming the band in 2013, singers/guitarists Fran Keaney, Tom Russo, and Joe White had played together in various garage bands, dating back to high school. When Rolling Blackouts C.F. started, with Joe Russo [Tom's brother] on bass, Marcel [Tussie, Joe White's then-housemate] on drums, the chemistry was immediate. After a split EP with You Yangs (another Russo brother's band), released in the form of a frisbee, they self-released Talk Tight in 2015, which Sydney-based record label Ivy League gave a wider release the following year. Talk Tight garnered plaudits from critics, including legendary rock scribe Robert Christgau. In 2017, Sub Pop released The French Press EP, bringing the band's chugging and tuneful non-linear indie rock to the rest of the world as they settled into their sound with remarkable ease.
Hope Downs was largely written over the past year in the band's Melbourne rehearsal room where their previous releases were also written and recorded. The band's core trio of songwriters hunkered down and wrote as the chaos of the world outside unavoidably seeped into the songwriting process. "We were feeling like we were in a moment where the sands were shifting and the world was getting a lot weirder. There was a general sense that things were coming apart at the seams and people around us were too," Russo explains. The album title, taken from the name of a vast open cut mine in the middle of Australia, refers to the feeling of "standing at the edge of the void of the big unknown, and finding something to hold on to."
With the help of engineer/producer Liam Judson and his portable setup, the band recorded Hope Downs live, and co-produced ten guitar pop gems over the course of two weeks in Northern New South Wales during the winter of 2017. Hope Downs possesses a robust full-band sound that's all the more impressive considering the band's avoidance of traditional recording studios. If you loved Talk Tight and The French Press, you certainly won't be disappointed here—but you might also be surprised at how the band's sound has grown. There's a richness and weight to these songs that was previously only hinted at, from the skyscraping chorus of "Sister's Jeans" to the thrilling climax of album closer "The Hammer."
Hope Downs is as much about the people that populate the world around us—their stories, perspectives, and hopes in the face of disillusionment—as it is about the state of things at large. It's a record that focuses on finding the bright spots at a time when cynicism all too often feels like the natural state. Rolling Blackouts C.F. are here to remind us to keep our feet on the ground—and Hope Downs is as delicious a taste of terra firma as you're going to get from a rock band right now.

It's sort of folklore (as exemplified by this old post at The Everything Seminar) that none of the common techniques for summing divergent series work to give a meaningful value to the harmonic series, and it's also sort of folklore (although I can't remember where I heard this) that the harmonic series is more or less the only important series with this property.
What other methods besides analytic continuation and zeta regularization exist for summing divergent series? Do they work on the harmonic series? And are there other well-known series which also don't have obvious regularizations?
