Broadcast: October 7, 2004
This is Shirley Griffith.
And this is Rich Kleinfeldt with the VOA Special English history program, THE MAKING OF A NATION. Today,we continue the story of America's fourteenth president, Franklin Pierce.
Franklin Pierce was elected in eighteen-fifty-two. He was a compromise candidate of the Democratic Party. He was well-liked. But he was not considered a strong leader.
The eighteen-fifties were an increasingly tense time in the United States. Most of the population lived east of the Mississippi River. However, more and more people were moving west. As western areas became populated, they became official territories and then new states.
What kind of laws would the new territories and states have. Would the laws be decided by the Congress in Washington. Or would they be voted on by the people living there.
The biggest legal question affecting western lands was slavery.
Owning another human being was legal in many parts of the United States at that time. Slaves were considered property, like furniture and farm animals.
People who owned negro slaves wanted to take all their property -- including the slaves -- with them when they moved west. People who opposed slavery did not want it to spread. Some of them considered slavery a moral issue. They believed it violated the laws of God. An increasing number of white Americans, however, saw slavery as an economic issue. They wanted new states to be free from slavery, so they would not have to compete with slave labor.
The United States had been established as a democracy. Yet slavery existed. America's early leaders knew that trying to end slavery probably would split the nation in two. So they looked for compromises. They decided it was better to save the Union...even if it was not perfect...than to watch the Union end.
Like other presidents, Franklin Pierce hoped to avoid the issue. He also believed that earlier legislation had settled the debate. In eighteen-twenty, Congress had passed the Missouri Compromise. It extended a line across the map of the United States. South of the line, slavery was legal. North of the line, slavery was not legal, except in Missouri.
Thirty years later, another political compromise made the situation less clear.
The compromise of eighteen-fifty made slavery a local issue, instead of a national issue, in several western territories. It said the people in those territories had the right to decide for themselves if slavery would be legal or illegal.
Within a few years, that law caused a new debate in Congress. Lawmakers argued: was the peoples' right to decide the issue of slavery restricted only to the territories named in the compromise of eighteen-fifty? Or was the right extended to the people of all future territories?
The answer came in eighteen-fifty-four. In that year, Congress debated a proposal to create two territories from one large area in the west. The northern part would be known as the Nebraska territory. The southern part would be known as the Kansas territory. Settlers in both new territories would have the right to decide the question of slavery.
President Pierce did not like the Kansas-Nebraska bill. He feared it would re-open the bitter, national debate about slavery. He did not want to have to deal with the results. Tensions were increasing. Violence was increasingly possible.
The Kansas-Nebraska bill had a lot of support in the Senate. It passed easily. The bill had less support in the House of Representatives. The vote there was close, but the measure passed. President Pierce finally agreed to sign it. In exchange, congressional leaders promised to approve several presidential appointments.
Supporters of the Kansas-Nebraska bill celebrated their victory. They fired cannons as the city of Washington was waking to a new day. Two senators who opposed the bill heard the noise as they walked down the steps of the capitol building. One of them said: "They celebrate a victory now. But the echoes they awake will never rest until slavery itself is dead."
The new bill gave the people of Kansas and Nebraska the right to decide if slavery would be legal or illegal. The vote would depend on who settled in the territories. It was not likely that people who owned slaves would settle in Nebraska. However, there was a good chance that they would settle in Kansas.
Groups in the south organized quickly to help pro-slavery settlers move to Kansas. At the same time, groups in the north helped free-state settlers move there, too.
Some of the northern groups were companies called emigrant aid societies. Shares of these companies were sold to the public. The money was used to help build towns and farms in Kansas. Owners of the companies hoped to make a lot of money from the development.
The southern effort to settle Kansas was led mostly by slave-owning farmers in Missouri. They believed that peace in Missouri depended on what happened in Kansas. They did not want to live next to a territory where slavery was not legal.
In Washington, President Pierce announced the appointment of Andrew Reeder to be governor of the Kansas territory. Pro-slavery settlers urged Reeder to hold immediate elections for a territorial legislature. They believed they were in the majority. They wanted a vote before too many free-state settlers moved in. The legislature would have the power to keep the territory open to slavery and, in time, help it become a slave state.
Governor Reeder rejected the demands. He decided to hold an election, but only for a territorial representative to the national Congress. On election day, hundreds of men from Missouri crossed the border into Kansas. They voted illegally, and the pro-slavery candidate won.
The same thing happened when Kansas finally held an election for a legislature. Governor Reeder took steps to make the voting fair. His efforts were not completely successful. Once again, men from Missouri crossed the border into Kansas. Many of them carried guns. They forced election officials to count their illegal votes. As a result, almost every pro-slavery candidate was elected to the new legislature.
The governor ordered an investigation. The investigation showed evidence of wrong-doing in six areas, and new elections were held in those areas. This time, when only legal votes were counted, many of the pro-slavery candidates were defeated. Yet there were still enough pro-slavery candidates to have a majority.
Andrew Reeder was governor of a bitterly divided territory. He wanted to warn President pierce about what was happening.
Reeder went to Washington. He met with Pierce almost every day for two weeks. He described how pro-slavery groups in Missouri were interfering in Kansas. He said if the state of Missouri refused to deal with the trouble-makers, then the national government must deal with them. He asked the president to do something.
Pierce agreed that Kansas was a serious problem. He seemed ready to act. So reeder returned home and opened the first meeting of the territorial legislature. The pro-slavery majority quickly voted to move to a town close to the Missouri border. It also approved several pro-slavery measures.
Governor Reeder vetoed these bills. But there were enough votes to reject his veto and pass the new laws.
The Kansas legislature also sent a message to President Pierce. It wanted him to remove Andrew Reeder as governor. Political pressure was strong, and the president agreed. He named a new governor, Wilson Shannon. Shannon supported the pro-slavery laws of the legislature. He also said Kansas should become a slave state, like Missouri.
Free-state leaders were extremely angry. They felt they could not get fair treatment from either the president or the new governor. So they took an unusual step. They met and formed their own government in opposition to the elected government of the territory. It would not be long before the situation in Kansas became violent. That will be our story next week.
Today's program of THE MAKING OF A NATION was written by Christine Johnson. This is Rich Kleinfeldt.
And this is Shirley Griffith. Join us again next time for another VOA Special English report about the history of the United States.

A jury has decided Apple should pay $31 million in damages for infringing on patents for technology owned by mobile chip maker Qualcomm that helps iPhones quickly connect to the internet and extend their battery life.
The verdict Friday in a San Diego federal court follows a two-week trial that pitted two former allies that have become bitter adversaries. The trial is a fragment of a legal battle involving Apple and Qualcomm, which are sparing over who invented some of the technology used for key features in smartphones and other mobile devices.
The stakes will be much larger in another federal trial next month that will determine whether Apple should be required to pay Qualcomm for licensing other technology used in iPhones.
Apple had been paying the licensing fees until it stopped in 2017 and filed a lawsuit alleging that Qualcomm was abusing his dominance of the mobile chip market to gouge smartphone makers for technology that it hadn't even invented. That trial is scheduled to start April 15.
In the trial that just concluded, the jury unanimously agreed with Qualcomm's contention that it should be paid $1.41 per iPhone relying on three of its patents. The damages date back to July 6, 2017, when Qualcomm filed its lawsuit, and covers technology used in the iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X.
San Diego-based Qualcomm hailed the verdict as a validation of its technology's importance to iPhones. "The technologies invented by Qualcomm and others are what made it possible for Apple to enter the market and become so successful so quickly," said Don Rosenberg, Qualcomm's general counsel.
Apple expressed disappointment with the decision. "Qualcomm's ongoing campaign of patent infringement claims is nothing more than an attempt to distract from the larger issues they face with investigations into their business practices in US federal court, and around the world," the Cupertino, California, company said.
The dispute between Apple and Qualcomm is also part of an antitrust lawsuit that the U.S. Federal Trade Commission filed in 2017. In that case, the FTC alleges that Qualcomm had been abusing its market power in mobile chips for years. The trial concluded in San Jose, California, earlier this year, but the judge still hasn't ruled.

Middle-Tier Patterns in .NET
Earlier in the book we explained how middle-tier patterns don't necessarily dictate a physical deployment designation. In reality, any of the following patterns, whether they are considered design-oriented, architectural-oriented, or the like, can be implemented and physically deployed anywhere in an application. The middle-tier "category" does not necessarily predicate that these patterns belong on a server somewhere physically separated from a user client. When considering the location transparency of Web services, what makes up a middle tier can mean any logical combination of pattern, structure, or logic. The only really identifying characteristic among these patterns is the fact that they typically help implement components that:
Do not provide any graphical or console interface characteristics (aside from debugging, e.g., using trace output to a debugger)
House business rules
Do not directly interact with persistent storage
That does not mean these cannot be applied to some graphical interface or even be part of a sophisticated data persistence design. These patterns simply belong to the category most likely to house the nonvisual business rules of the application.
Because middle-tier patterns cannot simply be considered strictly "design" patterns, they are more difficult to classify. Depending on how you implement them, they may have the ability to be part of several more traditional categories (see Design Patterns—Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software1—GoF). For example, the Product Manager pattern can be considered both creational and behavioral. The middle-tier classification only helps group a broadened combination of "middleware-friendly" patterns without having to give them a more traditional classification that you would find in these other sources of information. That is the point. We wouldn't have even organized them at all except that they become difficult to reference once there are several patterns to select from. For these reasons, the following patterns can be classified as middle-tier patterns.
Most of the following examples keep with the general solution "theme" and use our credit card processing application to drive the example code. We cover the following patterns in this chapter:
Chained Service Factory— Creating a single entry point for Web services
Unchained Service Factory— A late-bound single entry point for the Web services
Product Manager— Handling unmanaged code in a managed way
Service Façade— Delegating complex logic from Web services
Abstract Packet— Passing complex parameter sets into Web services
Packet Translator— Translating those complex parameters sets
With important (and related) mention to the following design patterns:
Factory Method (GoF)
Abstract Factory (GoF)
Façade (GoF)
Builder (GoF)
Value Object (Sun)
Proxy (GoF)

Can't Find a Job You Love? How to Find What You Lack
>> Sunday, January 22, 2017
You're far from the only person who doesn't experience job satisfaction. However, the fact that you're considering ways to change that means you're one step ahead of the pack. You're not satisfied to continue to toil at your current job, but you have no idea how to proceed. What if you waste years and thousands of dollars going back to school only to not be satisfied with that career either? What if you have no idea what kind of career might make you happy? Fortunately, there are ways to discern what it is that's holding you back and how to go forward.
Ask an Expert
Sign up for specialized career consulting online on your own schedule for as long as you feel you need guidance. The right expert will help you walk through an examination of your talents, interests, and experiences to come up with a viable career path that's likely to lead to happiness. The expert can then help you break the goal of getting that job down into a step-by-step process and give you the direction and focus you may lack.
Look Over Your Resume
Perhaps you're already qualified for a job you'd love, but you're not having luck finding it. The right expert can also help you go over your current cover letter and resume to more accurately reflecting what you could bring to a company and better catch a prospective employer's eye. It's a competitive job marketplace, and you need every advantage possible to get the job that will bring you happiness.
Practice Your Interview
If you've had several job interviews but no job offers, something might be lacking in your interview skills. Practice job interviews with an expert in career counseling. Consider your answers to some of the most common types of questions so they roll off your tongue naturally when asked. Research the businesses that most interest you so you can ask intelligent questions about a company when in the room. Look also at the way you dress and present yourself and how often you smile and maintain eye contact during an interview.
Job satisfaction is not just about finding a career you love, but finding a stable job that pays well and offers competitive benefits. The right guide will help you break down that goal into smaller, more easily achievable goals so you can save money and time. Often, what a person dissatisfied with her job lacks the most is simply direction.

Obama orders agencies to increase employment of disabled workers
Directive mandates that agencies take steps to meet hiring goals established by President Clinton.
President Obama issued an executive order Monday instructing federal agencies to take steps to increase employment of people with disabilities.
The directive orders agencies to take steps to meet a goal of hiring an additional 100,000 disabled employees over five years that was originally laid out by President Clinton in a July 2000 executive order. "Few steps were taken to implement that executive order in subsequent years," Obama said.
"As the nation's largest employer, the federal government must become a model for the employment of individuals with disabilities," the president wrote in the order. "Executive departments and agencies must improve their efforts to employ workers with disabilities through increased recruitment, hiring and retention of these individuals."
According to the executive order, approximately 54 million Americans are living with disabilities. Obama said the federal government has an important interest in reducing discrimination against such Americans, in eliminating the stigma associated with disability and in encouraging Americans with disabilities to seek employment in the federal workforce.
An Equal Employment Opportunity Commission report also released Monday showed that individuals with targeted disabilities -- deafness, blindness, missing extremities, partial or complete paralysis, convulsive disorders, mental retardation, mental illness and distortion of the limbs and/or spine -- represent less than 1 percent of the federal workforce.
The order directs the head of the Office of Personnel Management, in consultation with the Labor secretary, the chair of the EEOC, and the director of the Office of Management and Budget, to design strategies for recruiting and hiring people with disabilities within 60 days. The OPM director also must develop mandatory training programs for agency human resources personnel and hiring managers on the employment of people with disabilities.
Agencies will then be required to develop their own plans for promoting employment opportunities for disabled individuals. The plans, to be spearheaded by senior-level officials, must include performance targets and numerical goals.
In implementing their plans, agencies are expected to increase their use of Schedule A excepted service hiring authority and to increase participation of people with disabilities in internships, fellowships and training and mentoring programs.
Agencies must report frequently on their progress in implementing their plans. Their reports will be published on OPM's website.
In addition to the hiring initiatives, the order requires agencies to take steps to improve retention of disabled workers. Among strategies available to them, according to the order, are improved training, the use of centralized funds to provide reasonable accommodations, increased access to accessible technologies, and ensuring the accessibility of physical and virtual workspaces.
Also, Obama ordered that "agencies shall make special efforts, to the extent permitted by law, to ensure the retention of those who are injured on the job. Agencies shall work to improve, expand, and increase successful return-to-work outcomes for those of their employees who sustain work-related injuries and illnesses, as defined under the Federal Employees' Compensation Act, by increasing the availability of job accommodations and light or limited duty jobs, removing disincentives for FECA claimants to return to work, and taking other appropriate measures."
Under the executive order, the Labor secretary must pursue "innovative re-employment strategies" that increase the likelihood of an injured employee returning to work, including by pursuing reform of the FECA system.

absolutely angry
In this show we re-vsisit the chat I had with George Simons in show 138. George you may remember is the creator of the Diversophy intercultural games. We also talked about other intercultural games and when I mentioned Barnga, which we described way back in show 43, he told me about another very effective intercultural game. You could tell this was a good one because it made people absolutely angry!
absolutely distant
It's not just anger which is a symptom of your being out of your comfort zone. I was surprised when Janice Ford, an Australian talked about this feeling of being absolutely distant. Janice Ford took a course with me at The Consultants-E where I help teachers intgerate ICT into their language teaching and is just one of the many interesting people I meet there from all over the world.
absolutely incredible
You've probably heard about Bollywood, the Indian film industry, and how it rivals Hollywood in scope and numbers of films produced so now we're going to hear from Rebecca Chadwick, who's just finished high school and is so mad about Indian film that she signed up to a years course at the Asian Academy of Film and TV in New Delhi and simply flew straight into her course at the beginning of July having never travelled further than Europe before. If you watch satellite TV you'll probably understand why I'm calling this strand absolutely incredible when I contacted Rebecca shortly after her arrival to hear about her first impressions.
absolutely social
Now perhaps Rebecca might have benefited from being a member of Internations, a website designed to help expatriates all over the world cope with being stationed far away from home. My final guest on the show today is Malte Zeeck, co founder of Internations and my first question was about why such a website is needed. If you like the sound of internations and would like to join, then get in touch with me through this blog as I have some invitations available. Perhaps you were inspired by our last show to organise a foreign internship or semester exchange? You can also test your English by trying a short dictation taken from this interview here.
Our next show will be coming to you from Dr. Laurent Borgmann in Germany on 2nd September 2011

Black dial
The dial is the distinctive face of a Rolex watch, the feature most responsible for its identity and readability. The Explorer model's characteristic 3, 6 and 9 numerals are filled with a luminescent material emitting a long-lasting blue glow, like the hour markers and hands. Like all Rolex timepieces, the Explorer 40's dial is designed and manufactured in-house, largely by hand to ensure perfection.
Smooth Bezel
The Oyster Perpetual Explorer 40 imparts a fresh elan to the sober, clean lines that have long established it as an icon. The smooth bezel in Oystersteel is robust yet elegant, and in perfect harmony with the Explorer's iconic heritage.
Rolex uses Oystersteel for its steel watch cases. Specially developed by the brand, Oystersteel belongs to the 904L steel family, alloys most commonly used in high-technology and in the aerospace and chemical industries, where maximum resistance to corrosion is essential. Oystersteel is extremely resistant, offers an exceptional finish once polished and maintains its beauty even in the harshest environments.
Model availability
All Rolex watches are assembled by hand with the utmost care to ensure exceptional quality. Such high standards naturally restrict Rolex production capacity and, at times, the demand for Rolex watches outpaces this capacity.
Therefore, the availability of certain models may be limited. New Rolex watches are exclusively sold by Official Rolex Retailers, who receive regular deliveries and independently manage the allocation and sales of watches to customers.
Raffi Jewellers is proud to be part of the worldwide network of Official Rolex Retailers and can provide information on the availability of Rolex watches.

National Action's ultimate white supremacist pro-murder slur: -
Given the horrific nature of the Labour MP's murder, using knives and a firearm, and the propensity for violence amongst Fuckby's new Hitlerite pals, there could be flashpoints and intimidation for local voters in the weeks to come, after the #Brexit vote. Whether or not UKIP vanish up their own anuses or go and join the Tories (same thing!), fringe nationalists are well aware that If UKIP pass their sell-by date, other far right parties will be fighting over the ex-BNP vote, one of these, Liberty GB, which originated from the chaos of the BNP several years ago.
Whilst Brexit supporters have been quick to accuse Stronger-In supporters of political opportunism, Fuckby's deliberate attempt to stir up ill-feeling amongst a shocked community deep in mourning is an indication of how inhumane the British Far Right is, although, what more do we expect from a movement which has its origins in Adolf Hitler ally Oswald Mosley and before that, deadly German neo-Nazism which murdered six million people in the Holocaust. Boys will be boys, girls, girls, and nazis, scum!
Fuckby linking up with his former BNP Youth chums, should set the alarm bells ringing in the Kirklees area, Birstall and Batley close to Morley and Middleton in Leeds where some of the most violent former BNP activists still reside. One of these monsters is violent NPD supporter Chris Beverley, who attended SS-veterans meetings in Germany in the last decade, Beverley (now of the English Democrats) was involved in a violent assault upon churchgoers campaigning in Morley against the BNP, punches and kicks thrown at elderly antifascists, back in the BNP's heyday. If former fascist councillor Beverley roams free in the Birstall with National Action morons in toe, the people of Batley and Birstall will need defending from the menace of organised racial hatred.
Most dangerous these days are the national socialist youth gang National Action, a member of which, Zac Davies, was infamously jailed for life for the attempted murder of a Sikh man in Tesco's supermarket, Mold, Flintshire. Fuckby, conversing with Wayne Garvey (AKA Yorvik Son) of National Action, Mark Collett and Eva Van Housen, lays the seeds for the until-now elusive "nationalist unity", although nazis in other parts of the country might not be as willing to join hands, as the obnoxious Leeds lot. If Luciana Berger's stalker Garron Helm and many other National Action thugs turn up in Birstall and Batley, local Labour party canvassers will feel intimidated in what should have been a hassle-free uncontested election walkover. The police cannot be everywhere at once, thus seasoned local Yorkshire antifascists are asked to be vigilant, and ready on-hand to offer assistance, if necessary, to keep fascist thugs at bay from Labour Party volunteers.
It is better to be safe than sorry. Labour volunteers are advised to remain vigilant, and keep updated with antifascist news via Twitter and Facebook. Also, hopefully there will be antifascists at the count, to scare off fascists from getting smart ideas.

Secret of the Andes, part 3
What an interesting exercise to read Charlotte's Web again, which I think I probably haven't done since fourth grade… even though I feel I "know" it from the movies and numerous cultural references. I found it distinguished in characterization and in language…though somewhat flawed in narrative.
White's characters are instantly compelling and complex—even side characters. On the very first page, Fern and Mr. and Mrs. Arable are quickly defined. And how quickly the Goose becomes a fixture! Here's her entrance on page 17:
"You don't have to stay in that dirty-little dirty-little dirty-little yard," said the goose, who talked rather fast. "One of the boards is loose. Push on it, push-push-push on it, and come on out!"
'What?" said Wilbur. "Say it slower!"
"At-at-at-, at the risk of repeating myself," said the goose, "I suggest that you come on out. It's wonderful out here."
There is a slight oddness in the shifts of point-of-view through the first chapters. The reader first connects with Fern…who pretty quickly recedes as a character. That seems to be ok, as Wilbur is such a quickly engaging protagonist. But then Fern seems to become more important to the narrator again towards the end, when she goes to the fair. Chapter 19 ends: "As they passed the Ferris wheel, Fern gazed up at it and wished she were in the topmost car with Henry Fussy." What does this have to do with Wilbur and Charlotte? By this point White has disengaged his readers from Fern's point-of-view except when it refers solely to the barn animals, and the re-introduction of Fern as a coming-of-age parallel to Wilbur's doesn't seem necessary, and is ungainly.
Here's the thing though: White's use of language and his characters are so fresh and outstandingly on-target that these narrative problems don't keep the story from being "distinguished." I can absolutely understand however, how a committee might find another book "more" distinguished.
I found Secret of the Andes, as others have, nearly unbearable for both the flowery voice and the characterization of Cusi, neither of which have aged well. However, reading it all the way through convinced me that these are probably exactly the qualities that "distinguished" it to the committee. That, and some research.
This is from Ann Nolan Clark's acceptance speech, which you can find in the Horn Book Magazine's Newbery Medal Books: 1922-1955.:
"I have worked with Spanish children from New Mexico to Central and South America, with Indian children from Canada to Peru. I have worked with them because I like them. I write about them because their stories need to be told. All children need understanding, but children of segregated racial groups need even more. All children need someone to make a bridge from their world to the world of the adults who surround them."
And this is from Anne Carroll Moore column "The Three Owls' Notebook" in the June 1952 issue of The Horn Book Magazine:
"Secret of the Andes touches me deeply in my search for beauty to share with boys and girls who are far more responsive to the call of poetry and prose than is commonly admitted. The Inca shepherd boy Cusi and the wise old guardian of the herd of llamas are living characters. I saw very clearly 'Hidden Valley," heard the songs of the minstrel who came to sing them there, heard even the 'llama-humming,' caught the first glimpse of people who live in a world below and followed the long, steep, downward trail with Cusi and his pet black llama, Misti, in his search for his heart's desire—'to find a family.'
"Legend springs to life in a new form and because the book is at once true and full of mystery it casts a spell on a reader who will always feel the call of the mountains in the heart of the city she loves to live in."
This is the Anne Carroll Moore, of course, who dominated many critical circles and had a testy relationship with E.B. White. This is from her infamous "The Three Owls' Notebook" column on Charlotte's Web:
"From picture books I step into real trouble and I may as well confess that I find E. B. White's Charlotte's Web, illustrated by Garth Williams (Harper $2.50), hard to take from so masterly a hand. There is no one whose writing I more deeply regard in the adult field. Stuart Little disappointed me but thousands of people liked it. Stuart Little was a dream story. Charlotte's Web is born of real life in the wonderful countryside of my own childhood. I grew up on a large farm in Maine. There are chapters of great beauty and rare understanding of the life of farm animals in Charlotte's Web. They moved me very deeply as I read them without Garth Williams' fine pictorial interpretation, but as a children's book it never came clear from the preoccupation of an adult who had not spent a childhood on a farm. The story got off to a fine start. Fern was as living a girl as one could wish when she rescued the runt pig from her father's ax, but no such country child would have spent day after day beside the manure pile to which the pig was consigned and repeated afterward to as dumb a mother as a parent's page ever invoked what the animals told her in their language. Fern, the real center of the book, is never developed. The animals never talk. They speculate. As to Charlotte, her magic and mystery require a different technique to create that lasting interest in spiders which controls childish impulse to do away with them."
Moore's attachment to Fern as the most important character may be helped by White's awkward narrative and shifts in point of view. But when I look at her comments alongside her comments on Clark's book, and Clark's own acceptance speech, it also tells me something about the "tastes" of the time that may have influenced the committee's decision. For historical context, consider that IBBY was founded in 1953, after years-long efforts of Jella Lepman in the wake of World War II. UNESCO was founded in 1945. Might this have been a time in which the "interpretation of the theme or concept" in Secret of the Andes was considered far more distinguished that in Charlotte's Web?
There is an interesting exchange in the comments on the previous post about whether the Newbery Committee should–or can–consider "lastingness" (my awkwardly coined term). Wendy suggests:
"One of my theories about why there are SO many historical fiction titles among the Newbery winners is that the committees think those books stand a better chance of not seeming dated in the future–and for the most part, they're probably right."
Well, "lastingness" is explicitly NOT in the criteria … and committees are often coached on the fact that we really can't predict how well a book will age. It's equally true that this doesn't keep us from trying, as Leslie points out in her comments, and I think that every committee member hopes that "their" book will be a "classic" and a "favorite." But, really–ask yourself–how would you even begin to measure for this? Could you have predicted, twenty years ago, that smoking would be considered taboo in most US cities? Or that we'd be entering an economic downturn comparable to the Great Depression? Could the 1953 committee have predicted that Charlotte's Web would have been animated in 1972, which I bet, a dollar to a doughnut, is a major fact in the breadth of its popularity among today's adults?
Hope says:
"I think popularity over time might have a great deal to do with literary merit. While some books that have that merit don't last, I can't think of any books that "stand the test of time" without it. …. So, I don't think that its obscurity should count against SotA, but do think Charlotte should get bonus points for aging so well."
To me, this brings it back to why "popularity" is not a criteria of the award. Popularity creates its own "winners," and needs no award committee to promote it. The Newbery award is for something else. Charlotte's Web and Secret of the Andes both have it: literary merit. And while the distinguished literary qualities of Clark's book may have ultimately doomed it over time, White's had a little something else…something that, frankly, we still rarely find in children's books, not even once a year.

I used to think I was just a regular guy, but . . .
I was born white, which now, whether I like it or not, makes me a racist.
I am a fiscal and moral conservative, which by today's standards, makes me a fascist.
I am heterosexual, which according to gay folks, now makes me a homophobic.
I am non-union, which makes me a traitor to the working class and an ally of big business.
I am a Christian, which now labels me as an infidel.
I believe in the 2nd Amendment, which now makes me a member of the vast gun lobby.
I am older than 70, which makes me a useless old man.
I think and I reason, therefore I doubt much that the main stream media tells me, which must make me a reactionary.
I am proud of my heritage and our inclusive American culture, which makes me a xenophobe.
I value my safety and that of my family and I appreciate the police and the legal system, which makes me a right-wing extremist.
I believe in hard work, fair play, and fair compensation according to each individual's merits, which today makes me an anti-socialist.
I believe in the defense and protection of the homeland for and by all citizens, which now makes me a militant.
Now, a sick old woman is calling me and my friends a basket of deplorable's.
Please help me come to terms with the new me . . . because I'm just not sure who I am anymore!
I would like to thank all my friends for sticking with me through these abrupt, new found changes in my life and my thinking!
I just can't imagine or understand what's happened to me so quickly!
Funny . . . it's all just taken place over the last 7 or 8 years! As if all this crap wasn't enough to deal with.
I'm now afraid to go into either restroom!
In God We Trust.

Look – This strain looked way more like Sour Diesel than Strawberry Cough. Darker green spear tip shaped buds with peach colored pistils, the trichome coverage gives it a grey looking color under certain lighting. This bud isn't too compact, not really airy though.
Smell – I didn't really notice a Strawberry smell, this particular phenotype leans heavily towards Sour Diesel and smells just like diesel fuel or a gas station with earthy kush undertones.
Taste – Same as the smell, very fuely with a great fuel/kushy earth aftertaste. This smoke is nice and thick on the inhale/exhale and the Strawberry Cough comes through with nice expansion in the lungs.
Effects – Strawberry Diesel is a pretty heady marijuana and it also gives a nice body relaxation. Smoke a little of it during the day to receive a lighter head effect, then smoke more at night to help you sleep. I also noticed an onset of munchies. This is a very good all around marijuana strain.
Medical Uses – Anxiety, depression, stress, muscle relaxation, pain relief, appetite, sleep aid

Gregory the Wonderworker
- Another saint called Gregory the Wonderworker of the Kiev Near Caves is commemorated on January 8.
Our father among the saints Gregory the Wonderworker, also known as Gregory Thaumaturgus or Gregory of Neocaesarea, (ca. 213 – ca. 270 AD) was a Christian bishop of the 3rd century. He is commemorated by the Church on November 17.
This article or section is a stub (i.e., in need of additional material). You can help OrthodoxWiki by expanding it.
The Theotokos and Apostle John appeared to St. Gregory in a dream, and taught him about the Holy Trinity. St. Gregory wrote down what was revealed to him.
- "The teaching about the Holy Trinity in Orthodox Theology is based on it. Subsequently it was used by the holy Fathers of the Church: Basil the Great, Gregory the Theologian, and Gregory of Nyssa. The Symbol of St Gregory of Neocaesarea was later examined and affirmed in the year 325 by the First Ecumenical Council, showing his enduring significance for Orthodoxy."[1]
- You became worthy of your name through your way of life:
- Through your vigilance in prayer and your constant constant works of mercy.
- Therefore, O Father Gregory, beseech Christ God to enlighten our minds,
- That we may not sleep in sin, which leads to death!
- You received the power to perform miracles,
- Frightening the devils and healing the sick through your wonderworking.
- All-wise Father Gregory,
- Your deeds truly entitle you to be called "Wonderworker"!

Some schools don't have heat. Others are serving their students shelf-safe milk.
But today, most of New York City's 1,700 schools reopened for the first time since Sandy devastated the northeast. NPR's Margot Adler has been working her way through Manhattan. She visited PS-41 in Greenwich Village and reports everything was great. But then, as she walked west on Houston St. all the way to East River, she stopped by Bard High School Early College.
That's one of the more than 60 schools that remained shuttered Margot says she didn't see any students there, instead it was full of clean-up crews. The basement, Margot said, is still full of water and debris.
"It was clear that the school was not going to open" for a couple of days, said Margot.
The New York Times went to PS-2 in Chinatown. The power was on, they report, but the heat was not.
"'We expect to carry on as usual,' said the acting interim principal, Bessie Ng. She had e-mailed teachers telling them to dress warmly. 'The students normally come with many layers,' she added. If they don't, the staff will find something warm for them, Ms. Ng said.
"Lunch was an issue, too. Because power was out, food in the freezer had to be thrown out. Ms. Ng expected a delivery for student meals shortly. 'A number of teachers brought in food, just in case,' she said."
The Associated Press reports that today was really the first day of a major commute. The good thing, however, is that some of the subway lines connecting New York City to the outer boroughs across the East River were restored.
The AP reports:
"In Jersey City, investment advisor Barbara Colucci, was traveling from a house without power and the family's car was low on fuel because of persistent gasoline shortages.
"'I can't wait until the PATH and light rail are up and running again, but first I'd like power in my house quite honestly,' she said. 'We're sleeping on air mattresses but we have heat so we can't complain but I'd like to get back to a bed — it's been awhile — and back to a regular commute.'"
But those are small potatoes. There are places where there is still a life-or-death struggle happening. Reuters estimates that 1.4 million homes and businesses are still without power.
And take a look at this video produced by The New York Times from Rockaway Beach in Queens. Perhaps one of the more heartbreaking aspects is the story of an elderly woman, heating her apartment with a stove and waiting desperately for water and electricity to be restored:

I have begun to use SpecFlow and WatiN to automate UI tests in IE9, and am encountering a maddening problem which may have nothing do to with either, but hey. I have the following step:
public void Then_I_should_see_the_model_detail_screen()
Regex r = new Regex(Nav.ModelView + @"1[0-9]+", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
bool isMatch = r.IsMatch(WebBrowser.Driver.Url);
Span span = WebBrowser.Current.Span(Find.ById("ScreenTitle"));
string title = span.Exists ? span.Text : "";
Assert.AreEqual(_DummyModel.Title, title);
If I place a breakpoint at the first Assert statement, title is an empty string, even though span.Exists is true and span.Text has a value. Furthermore, isMatch is false even though the pattern matches.
However, if I place a breakpoint at the top of the method and step through, isMatch is true and title is populated with the value of span.Text.
The test fails if I don't run it in debug, too, which is of course the main issue.
EDIT: If I place a Thead.Sleep(1000) at the top of this method, it works as expected. I forgot to mention that this method is running during/after a redirect. My guess is that this method is evaluating before the redirect is finished, but in debug mode I'm able to see the "live" values of the WebBrowser.
So is there a better way to wait for the redirect to finish, or to check that I've been redirected?

There have been a lot of questions from fans over the past few weeks as for what will be in store for K-1 after the tremendous September 14th event in Mallorca, Spain. To the public, things have been quiet on the K-1 Global front, but there has been a lot of movement behind the scenes, with plans being laid out for the next year. I spoke with K-1 Global's Director of Events & Fighter Acquisition Ned Kuruc about the future of K-1 and it seems like the gears are fully in motion in pushing K-1 into the future.
The first topic was on making the message extremely clear to fans; K-1 is going to change how their shows are run, shifting the emphasis from tournaments to crowning champions across weight divisions and having them defend these belts. "We're gonna open up our weight divisions, we want to have a clear cut champion in each division," he stated. "He'll go on to defend that championship and we'll get to see who is really the best in each weight class. We'll have a top ten ranking in every division and fighters will move up the ranks and try to fight the champion.
"We definitely wanted to open up all of the weight classes," he continued. "For too long K-1 was just two weight classes and this is the solution that we had to help to establish all of these weight classes."
For many fans, the idea of losing the tournament format will be a loss, as K-1 was established on this idea of annual tournaments to decide the best in the world, but Kuruc assures us that K-1 isn't done with tournaments. "Is K-1 done with the tournament format? Absolutely not. We want to establish these weight divisions and crown champions, but we still want to run tournaments, just not as often. Maybe they are every two or four years, just not every year like we are all used to."
Kuruc also cites that the marketplace has completely changed over the past ten years, which was a factor in this decision. "It's a completely different marketplace than it was when K-1 first started and companies need to adjust," he explains. "We feel that this is the right adjustment. The fans want to know who the 63kg champion is, who the 70kg champion is and by doing it this way fans will be able to follow their favorite athlete's career. The current format crowns a new champion every year, but they are just the champion of this year, then for the next tournament they have to start all over again.
"It's also a matter of making the fights that fans want to see. Take for example Artur Kyshenko, he had competed in K-1 for how many years and somehow never fought against Buakaw? They would fight on the same shows but they never fought each other. People want to see that fight, but in a tournament format you can't deliver this fight outside of a stroke of fight. With us having the ability to control who fights who, K-1' believes that this will be able to give fans the best possible fights that they want to see."
As for when to expect these changes to come into play, Kuruc says that it will be the near future, by the beginning of the year. "It'll start in early 2014, probably as soon as January. We'll shortly be coming out with the first half of the 2014 schedule. I'm currently developing shows in quite a number of countries. K-1 will still be a global organization, with shows on different continents and different countries.
"We are really looking for young and exciting fighters right now. I'm spending a lot of time right now watching a lot of footage. Our personnel will be attending a lot of amateur championships around the world. It's not that we are rebuilding it is just that we feel like there is a wealth of great fighters from the ages of 18 – 23 and we want to be the ones who expose them to the world. They have new styles that they fight in and it's really exciting to think about creating new stars within K-1."
Of course, the question still looms about what is going on with the 2013 K-1 World MAX Championships, as the Final 16 was held in September and fans were promised resolution on this. It turns out, they will get their resolution, it will just take on a slightly different form.
"We're not gonna do the Final 8 fights in one night, instead we're gonna build up to a Final," he said, showing the difference between previous years. "On the first two shows we'll have four of the winners, on another show we'll have the other two winners. So the first two rounds of the Final 8 will be spread out over those shows, then Finalists will compete on a separate show for the Championship. The winner of that will not only be the year's MAX Champion, but our 70kg Champion as well.
"This gives fighters a chance to rest, heal up and train for each opponent," he added. "These guys are top athletes and it only seems fair to give them a real chance to prepare for their opponents. So 70kg will be the first division that we open up, followed by the top ten rankings after we find our Champion. The next divisions that we'll open up will be 63kg and 85kg, while I'm also looking for a few good, exciting Heavyweights, as Heavyweight is on the agenda as well.
"We plan on running these events in January and February, which means that we'll be crowning our 70kg Champion by the end of February or early March."
These aren't the only big plans for K-1, as they plan on running 12 big events throughout 2014, but these are some of the big changes that are happening. K-1 Global seems confident in this new format and that it will not only be best for the fans, but also benefit the careers and longevity of the fighters involved as well.

Shocking Survey Reveals America's Favorite Pizza Is in a City That Will Baffle Your Taste Buds
It's a debate that's as heated as a fresh pie.
What city is home to the best pizza? A new survey gives a most surprising answer.
Travel + Leisure polled its readers to find out where their favorite pizza in America is. New York? Chicago? You're more off than someone who goes in for a job interview after eating a pie covered in anchovies.
The city with the pizza a slice above all others is...Phoenix. Phoenix? Yes, you read that right. A city that you could be forgiven for thinking you might get a good taco instead of a mouth-watering large pepperoni. A city where when the pizza comes out of the oven people can claim, "At least it's a dry heat."
Chicago and New York, the two metropolises most often identified with pizza, took fourth and sixth, respectively.
Favorite Pizza Cities
- Phoenix
- Detroit
- Buffalo
- Chicago
- Providence, R.I.
- New York City
- Madison, Wisc.
- Wilmington, N.C.
- Philadelphia
- Knoxville, Tenn.
- San Antonio

What follows is the first in a series of reflections. These arise most vigorously when I take my annual writing retreat, but can sneak up anytime. I took the accompanying photograph on this year's retreat. This figure is one of my most cherished objects. I found her at an outdoor antique store, in her present condition. Though you cannot see it in this photograph, incised beneath her bare feet is the word "Life." She lives here on my desk, but likes to go on trips.
Heeding at the silver dawn of sixty the ongoing clarification of identity. The ongoing clarification of the ongoing changing identity. And identifying the identity which is steady throughout, always present, who rides the bucking bronco, but is never unseated.
Still occasionally entertaining the delusion that there is an inside and an outside. That there is a world and a me. Still in kindergarten. Still teaching in order to learn, learning in order to teach. Still searching, stretching for the pattern to impose over freedom. Still seeking comfort in syncopation, yearning yet for steady rhythm. Still pausing to spell "rhythm," still some ancient doubts. Not knowing the destination, outside of the fiction of death. Yet knowing destination's not all that important, since each destination is supplanted by another. Direction's more important. Direction is the pen-name of identity.

Originally published in The Indiana Gazette
On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918, World War I, the "war to end all wars," ended. From then on, every Nov. 11 to come was to be dedicated as Armistice Day. President Dwight Eisenhower changed the name to Veterans Day. Now, the nation comes together, once again, in joint honor of veterans.
As a young American having known many veterans myself, this holiday hits close to home; but as a young Muslim American it hits even closer to home.
It seems odd that one's religion could have bearing over their view of Veterans Day, but for Muslims all over America, Islam sheds a glorified light over all noble veterans.
The Prophet Muhammad said, "Love of one's homeland is a part of faith." and "One who is not thankful to people, is not thankful to Allah." This means that honor and loyalty to our nation and gratitude to those who fight for us is not only our duty as American citizens but as Muslims.
In fact, every time we have a meeting or gathering for MKA, the leading Muslim American youth association, we pledge to always be ready to sacrifice our "life, wealth, time, and honor for the sake of faith, country and nation."
Consequently, we offer our gratitude to those veterans who have and those who still are making those sacrifices.

The Rainbow Clause
Beth Bolden
Publication date: April 3rd 2017
Genres: Adult, Romance
Heisman winner. Member of the National Championship team. NFL Rookie of the Year. Quarterback Colin O'Connor knows he's become the ultimate romance novel cliché: all the success he's ever dreamed of but nobody to share it with. Too bad it's not as simple as asking out the next girl who intrigues him – because the next girl to intrigue him probably won't be a girl at all.
Unexpectedly, the solution comes in one neat package: Nick Wheeler, lead journalist for a leading sports and pop culture blog. Hired by Colin's team, Nick comes to Miami to shine a spotlight on the NFL's most private quarterback.
The heat in Miami rises when Nick discovers that Colin is nothing like the hollow personality he pretends to be in interviews and he's even hotter in person than on his Sports Illustrated cover. Nick knows this is the story of his career, and after spending his teenage years as a bullied, closeted teen, it hits very close to home. What he needs is to help Colin share his story while keeping their growing relationship from boiling over in the press, but what he wants is to tell the world.

Summer vacations are a time to relax, explore new destinations and create lasting memories. While enjoying your break, it's essential not to neglect your oral hygiene routine. Ignoring dental care during vacations can potentially lead to oral health issues, which can put a damper on your well-deserved time off. To help you protect your smile while you are away, we have compiled a list of useful reminders that can keep your smile on track!
Pack the Essentials
Before you embark on your summer adventure, ensure you pack all your oral hygiene essentials. Remember to bring a toothbrush, toothpaste, floss and mouthwash. You can opt for travel-sized products or invest in a travel toothbrush with a protective case for convenience and cleanliness. Either way, your oral hygiene pack is a traveling essential! Bonus: your smile will look its best in person and pictures!
Stick to Your Routine
While vacations are a time to break away from your daily routine, it's important to maintain consistency with your oral hygiene habits. You'll still want to brush your teeth at least twice a day for two minutes each session. Ensure you brush all surfaces of your teeth (and don't forget your tongue)! Also, don't skip flossing, as it actively clears out plaque and stray bits of food lingering between your pearly whites.
Stay Hydrated
Hot summer temperatures, coupled with increased physical activities during your travel excursions, may lead to dehydration. Remember, it's essential to down lots of water to stay optimally hydrated. Plain water not only helps maintain overall health but actively promotes saliva production, which you need to neutralize harmful acids and protect your teeth against decay.
Limit Sugary Drinks and Snacks
You can still enjoy festive treats while you are away. It can help to rinse your mouth with water wherever you go to help wash away some of the sugar and acids. Then be sure to brush and floss when you can to keep tooth decay and cavities away.
Carry Sugar-Free Gum
Chewing sugar-free gum is a great way to maintain good oral hygiene during your vacation. It helps stimulate saliva production, which aids in neutralizing acids and washing away bits of oral debris. Look for gum with the ADA (American Dental Association) seal of approval for added assurance.
Be Mindful of Travel Food Choices
When dining out during your vacation, make conscious food choices that are beneficial for your oral health. Opt for dishes that are less likely to get stuck in between your teeth or leave a sticky residue. Avoid hard candies and chewy snacks that can damage your teeth or lead to dental work complications.
Research Local Dental Care Options
In case of any dental emergencies or unexpected oral health concerns during your vacation, you will want to be prepared. Research and note local dental clinics or emergency dental services available in the area you're visiting. Having this information readily available can save you stress and time if the need arises.
Schedule a Pre-Vacation Dental Check-up
If you can, get your teeth checked and cleaned before your vacation. We can address any underlying oral health issues and ensure your teeth and gums are in good shape to travel. We can also provide personalized recommendations for maintaining oral hygiene while you are away.
Enjoy Your Vacation and Stay Committed
Follow these simple guidelines and enjoy your time away, exploring new places and creating life-changing memories. Your smile will thrive, and you will look your best, especially in all those photos you will bring home you'll want to display and share!

Peach's Squarespace affiliate programs offer unmatched tracking options because they're designed specifically for Squarespace. Use affiliate links, cookies, promo codes, landing pages, or vanity URLs to track visits and referred sales.
Affiliates earn a percentage (frequently 10-30%) of the order total. That way, you can reward affiliates while maintaining a solid profit margin.
The commission is a fixed, flat-rate per order. For example, this might be $5 per order the affiliate refers to your store. Great for keeping things simple, especially if you only have a few products available.
With commissions on subscriptions, you can configure the commission to be either "one-time" or "recurring." One-time commissions only reward the affiliate for the first time period of the subscription, while recurring commissions will reward the affiliate ongoing (e.g. 10% per month for every month the subscription is active).
Offer unique commission structures to some affiliates and customize this for selected individuals. Perfect for negotiating that perfect deal with a top influencer.
Give affiliates a discount code to share with their audience and use this to track commissions. This is great for Instagram and YouTube influencers with big audiences.
Set up custom landing pages hosted on your site, with tracking for referred sales. This option improves conversion rate for affiliates with large audiences.
Peach's automatically calculates commissions for referred sales, then you can track the payment status of your commissions using our dashboard.
If you don't see your question answered here, email [email protected] and we'll be happy to help.
If you have a Squarespace eCommerce store with loyal customers and a solid margin, it's very likely you'll get great results with Peach's affiliate software.

Not really. You'll need to add a couple of scripts to your Squarespace store, but it's a simple copy-paste job and we'll guide you through every step. No coding know-how needed!
Once you're set up, the main thing you'll need to keep an eye on is commission payouts. Email notifications and your Peach's dashboard will help you stay on top of how much you owe affiliates.

A gentleman named Harry Marks asked me this morning:
"David Marshall, How would you test the hypothesis of God?"
Here is my brief answer.
You ask how I would test that "hypothesis," so let me give a personal reply.
When I was in my early 20s, growing up in a Christian home, then educated at a secular university, studying Marxism, I was full of doubts, and decided to do just that: test whether God was real. My method was to join the missions organization Youth With a Mission in Hong Kong, and see if "God would show up," to put it in Forrest Gump's terms.
I found that sometimes, he seemed to. What I found was that (a) sometimes, remarkable answers to prayer seem to be given, with real probative value; (b) God seemed to have arrived in Asia before me, in the sense that the ancient Chinese had known about Him; (c) I saw that the Christian faith was making things better, for individuals and societies, as Genesis 12 prophecies; (d) I found that the Gospel fulfilled deep truths in Asian cultures.
As with subatomic particles, though, in this case the observer influences the outcome. Who is this "I" that is observing? Who is seeking God? And does he really want to find God? What influence might the observed have on the observer?
This is another level of awareness, and testing, that may be more real than "the God hypothesis" version of the test implies.
Before I went to Asia, I spent a summer working as a counselor at a Bible Camp in the most beautiful place in the world, Berner's Bay, Alaska. I didn't do much actual counseling -- aside from one week with my own cabin of kids, most of the time I spent on ladders, counseling spruce branches with a chain saw. I walked on the beach, rode horses, climbed Angel Peak across the bay with other staff, and must have spent considerable time in meditation.
One evening, I stayed in the main building while everyone else was off somewhere, and reread C. S. Lewis' Mere Christianity. I read the chapter on "The Great Sin." Probably the sin I felt most guilty about was lust, at the time. But Lewis argued that sexual sins were trivial compared to the real monster: pride.
I came to realize that I was full of pride. I saw that I needed to repent of that sin, and that I would have to fight it, for the rest of my life.
And so it has proven.
One way God proves Himself to me, in the Bible, is by speaking truthfully about my own heart. I find that many non-Christians don't even recognize, what Lewis proved to me beyond doubt that night, and that the biblical writers clearly understood, that pride is the heart of all sin, and reflection of our deep need for a savior -- not just from obvious vices like alcoholism or prostitution or even war-lordism or pimping, that caused so much devastation in parts of Asia I would soon visit. No, the evil began inside me, and could not be disconnected from me.
God reveals himself to me in the Bible, in short, by telling the truth, on a deeper level than I find it anywhere else, and more salvifically. Having studied the religions of the world, and read many books by atheists, many rather brilliant, and thinkers like Lao Zi, Confucius, Gandhi, the Dalai Lama, Tolstoy, I do not find a parallel to the Sermon on the Mount, though I find much that supports the teachings of Jesus.
Everyone is different. Pascal, who helped develop probability theory, seemed to see some sort of probabilistic argument in the prophesies of the OT, but was most deeply convinced by a mystical experience of the Holy Spirit. I have met philosophers for whom philosophical arguments worked, scientists for whom scientific arguments worked, and lots of people who find the life of Jesus, and the evidence for the resurrection, convincing. I doubt I would much like God, or maybe trust him, without Jesus as His image.
I'm not pretending this is simple. If we want to test a chemical, we put it in solution. If we want to test a tortoise, we race him with a hare. If you want to test your girlfriend, or boyfriend, don't try chemicals: try life. Watch how he or she interacts with other people. Bring her home to mother. Watch him hang around your girlfriends.
So the smarter the object, the harder and more "existential" the test.
Can we test God? Jesus said "Don't put the Lord your God to the test!"
What I think he means is, we shouldn't presume that God is like a protein compound or our laborador puppy. The test, in this case, as with our lovers only more so, must involve our whole lives.
And each of those lives is different. So the test -- whether of Him, or of us -- will also vary accordingly.
Such, at least, is the best I can make out. Because my testing -- or His, apparently -- does not seem anywhere near complete.

Crude: Thanks. No, I haven't read any of Mike's posts, just one of his books. Will take a look.
I also added more to my original post, which I realize left out too much. May continue to develop my response to Harry's good question. - March 11, 2012 at 3:09 PM

Posted by Heather and Donna on 18th Nov 2017
The following post was written by Code Name: Mama.
I am in love with the Nesting Pillow from Blessed Nest. I received it in the second trimester of my pregnancy with Ailia, and it has been used nightly - and now daily - ever since. It's not only a phenomenal nursing pillow, it also provides wonderful support during pregnancy. I decided to share some of our favorite ways to use the Nesting Pillow and Nest Egg (the smaller pillow available from Blessed Nest). Be sure to visit Code Name: Mama, and share your own favorite Nesting Pillow or Nest Egg positions in the comments.
Of course! Use this pillow the same way you'd use any nursing pillow, but this one is even better since you can reposition the pillow thanks to the insides full of buckwheat hulls. Read more at Blessed Nest's website.
Tuck the Nesting Pillow behind your back and put the Nest Egg in between your knees for support during pregnancy.
Practice your squats with the Nesting Pillow underneath your tush for support. Why squat? "Squatting stretches the calves of your legs so that getting into a good pushing position will be easier. . . . In contrast to lying on her back, a woman in a squatting position allows gravity to help move the baby through the birth canal." There are many more reasons to practice squatting every day - pregnant or not - read about them at Birthing Naturally, and find out how at Aligned and Well.
We wedge the Nesting Pillow behind Ailia's back during her naps. Like Kieran, Ailia does not like to sleep on her back, she prefers to sleep on her side. This gives her support and lets us tilt her somewhat backwards while lying on her side.
If you're stuck in bed with lots of pillows behind your head, use this one!
Prenatal massage is so relaxing, but you'll need plenty of support on either side of your growing belly. Check out Prenatal Massage Techniques for tips, and use the Nesting Pillow for support.
Put the pillow squarely between your knees for back and leg relief.
The Nesting Pillow is great to use with newborns, see instructions at the Blessed Nest Perch.
There are several yoga positions you might appreciate some soft support for - this is a picture of me using the Nesting Pillow to help me in Child's Pose.
The Nest Egg makes a perfect pillow for your little one!
If you'd rather have support on your belly side, you can either use the Nesting Pillow between your knees and curve it up in front of your belly, or use the Nest Egg for your knees and the Nesting Pillow for your stomach.
Reminder: Never leave a baby unattended with anything loose such as blankets or pillows until they are over the age of two.
When I was a baby, my mama had a frog beanbag that she would slowly set on my back in place of her hand as I drifted off to sleep. With Ailia, if we can manage to lay her on her side, we attempt to slip the Nest Egg against her belly so that she doesn't realize that we're not lying right next to her. Obviously we are careful not to put it near her face, and we're vigilant while she is sleeping that she does not pull it up.
Give some back support to the big brother or sister by hugging them with the Nesting Pillow during naptime or nighttime.
The Nesting Pillow makes nursing in the football hold incredibly easy!
Big brothers and sisters always want to hold baby, but they may need a little help. Use the Nesting Pillow as a way to prop up little arms so that baby heads are held up properly.
Ailia, like Kieran, sleeps cuddled up on my chest. In order to keep her up there, I have to prop my arm on a pillow - the Nesting Pillow is ideal!
co-sleeping support
And my favorite way to use the Nesting Pillow? Well, it's my favorite way for posterity's sake anyway - use the pillow for super sweet baby pictures. Check out Miss Ailia when she was only a week old!
How do you use your Nesting Pillow? _________________________Dionna is a lawyer turned work at home mama of her amazing son, Kieran, and a beautiful new daughter, Ailia. You can normally find Dionna over at Code Name: Mama where she shares information, resources, and her thoughts on natural parenting and life with a little one.
