At the foundation, we sit in the kitchen finished a bright luminescent gray. Sameal, fuzzy brown legs curled behind her, sat on the counter leaning against the frame of the open window in a midnight-blue dress made from gaberdine. Smoking habitually, billowing plumes of ash were blown out through the open window, spreading into the low flowing shrubs and the plumb, low cropped emerald grass beyond. As she turned, tapping her cigarette on the ledge, her stiffly starched fabric didn't move. Both bra straps were fully visible by design and the cut of the dress, framing the splat of her back. An Italian coffee maker clinked periodically as it warmed on the gas stove. The coffee was poured out for two and denied to a third. The little cups were a magnificent imported porcelain, with a thin golden ring brimming the pale cusp. Incense and coffee smoke filled the wide room, flirting with the lofty gardenia breeze floating in. First sips of the bitter sweet. Soft clinks of cuplet on saucer with released exultation. Low sunbeams refracted on the seamless surface of sparkling bone-white quartz, daubing retraced streams of orange and pink into my right eye.
Dropping out of school for the second time, Sameal had returned to Addis to work at her father's foundation. He died shortly after she'd left London, and a new Prime Minister was elected a week before I would eventually arrive (to which there was no mention). There was no mention of her education either. Rather, the grieving princess presented herself as mildly interested in all. Her focus would mingle just long enough upon a subject before sweeping to the next, moving channel to channel, not in search of a better one, but a different one.
Art? She disliked modern and abstract painting. Twombly? "I could do that!", she said. He was no doubt overrated by bad poets and bored critics. She was a traditionalist; her favorite rapper was Tupac. Her voice was sweetly gruff and somewhat boyish. Everything was stated with the blunt force of a soliloquy, and your opinion could remain in your throat. She didn't like European cities. Too quaint. No dirt. "My ideal city has as much mud as marble. It should be like a chocolate box of individual idols and ironies—a scene of surprise and delight, a bricks throw from an inevitable revolution." She paused to light a fifth cigarette, staring down at the radiant red tip for a few ticks before exhaling from her nose indiscriminately into her cleavage. "London is close to my ideal city, even New York is good I guess. You know, where the grotesque and gorgeous live like waltzing companions. My favorite building in London is this horrendous building with trashy Egyptian ornament, sort hung like souvenirs on a concrete wall. Its really bad (hahaha), but I kind of like it. I don't remember St Pauls, or Parliament, or anything by Pugin, but ma petit poubelle creeps to mind every so often."....
Warm sweet guava
slowly drips diluting
the honey hue sky
with a blushing pink
as if poured over a glass spun sphere,
on a Sunday evening
and Ebba and I
are in the passenger side
of an azure blue van
for the voyage
to his mother's home for the night
where she'll have a television and a steaming shower;
Handing the adolescence five BR
for the both of us, an extended family and
I hunch in repose as we glide by
and in to the Lafto valleys;
I'd gone to the museum
in the early morning
to refine designs and numbers,
walking room to room to room
languorously flitting through pastiche portraits
done in the previous decade,
their stylisticly painted patinas
lended the air the damp smell of silkscreens,
the shellac still shone on clay.
Aluminum screws don the traditional stool
their imitation familiar from the homes of friends
where they remained in daily use;
My drawn stay here has relapsed
past performances from my adolescence in Utah
acting the strained walk and tenor
of a false Chad;
The museum was as true and sincere
as a chrome vernacular,
murderously burying the past
long before its docile eyes had closed
and had slowly, finished, breathing...

Lumberton Personal Injury Lawyer
When Life Knocks You Down, We Can Help Pick You Back Up
At Crumley Roberts, we are here to help those who have been injured or have lost loved ones because of negligence. Our Lumberton personal injury attorneys and support staff are here for you to listen to your concerns and to offer a helping hand. When life knocks you down, we can help pick you back up.
In our mission to serve the injured, we represent North Carolinians who have been injured in auto accidents, in workplace accidents, by exposure to asbestos, by defective products, and more. Our promise is to care like family, listen to learn, and do what's right.
Who Is Responsible for Paying My Claim?
Accidents happen, and when they do, we want you to know that you have options. You can seek benefits through programs like workers' compensation, or you can seek compensation through an insurance claim. These claims should be paid by the insurance provider of the at-fault party, meaning the person or company that is responsible for your injuries. Their actions may not have been intentional, but if they failed to act with reasonable care, they may be held accountable.
While every case is different, an important part of a personal injury claim is determining liability, or legal responsibility, for the incident. The following are examples of parties that may be considered liable for injuries:
- A drunk driver who causes an auto accident.
- A manufacturer who releases without sufficient warning labels, a product that causes consumer injury.
- A pharmaceutical company that manufactures a drug which causes serious side effects - and is lacking sufficient warning for patients and healthcare providers.
- The owner of a dog that bites and injures someone.
- A trucking company which overloads a commercial truck and thus causes a traffic accident.
To learn more about your claim, please give us a call at (910) 401-3075. We will be happy to answer your questions.

My guest blogger today rocks out everyday life, and I have come to love her blog because of that. Please welcome Elise. She blogs over at enJOY It and its one of my favorite regular reads. She posts about her paper goods shop (and new stamps!), her DIY projects, lots of yummy recipes (I'm really excited about her newest 40 pizzas idea), her scrapbooking with mini books and Project Life. I love the way she writes and how she shares the joy and struggles of life with such grace. I sent her a couple questions around the theme Celebrating the Everyday, and she was kind enough to answer them for me to share with all of you. Thank you Elise!
1. What does "celebrating the everyday" mean to you?
Celebrating the everyday is about being thankful for the normal.2. What things do schedule into your day help you celebrate or savor each day?
I have a cup of coffee and breakfast with my husband each morning before diving into my work day. It takes only 10 minutes, but it's so nice to sit down (with no laptops, iPhones or iPads between us) and just chat before separate and get to work for the day. This is especially special for us because Paul recently spent seven months deployed to Afghanistan. Just being able to sit across the table from each other feels like a big deal. :)3. How do you think that taking time to "celebrate the everyday" lends itself to personal fulfillment?
The way I see it, only about two weeks (maximum!) of each year are considered "celebration" days and include major holidays, birthdays and vacations. Two weeks out of 52 isn't that great of a percentage, so I think celebrating EVERYDAY is totally worth it. I love the mindset that each day is special and worthy of celebration. I think it helps develop a postive outlook and that is very important for personal fulfillment.4. In what way does being a blogger add to your ability to celebrate?
The best part about having a blog is creating a record of things I've done and things I have thought. I am so grateful that I have posts from the past six years to look back on and and see how I have changed and grown. When I think about it, the blog has become a celebration of everyday life in itself. Plus, for the blog, I have to take tons of photos and usually they are of just the normal life stuff. All of these photos have become even more special and important to me as time goes on.

Ubiquinol is the reduced form of Co-Q10, an enzyme critical in aerobic energy production and shown to be more readily absorbed then the oxidized form of Co-Q10, Ubiquinone, the most common form of Co-Q10 supplements. Our bodies produce this critical enzyme naturally, however, as we age or are exposed to chronic stressors like overtraining, endurance competitions, life stressors and sleep disruption. Kaneka Ubiquinol™ is the reduced, active antioxidant form of Coenzyme Q10. Kaneka Ubiquinol™. It is bio-identical ubiquinol developed and manufactured by Kaneka Nutrients for Jarrow.
OFM has researched and chosen this product as one of the key OFM Conditional Supplements. We recommend using "conditionally" during periods of high training load, extended duration competitions or training and if you are under chronic stress or chronic sleep disruption. Because Co-Q10 is an endogenously synthesized enzyme we do not recommend regular use so as to maintain and optimize your body's own production pathway.

If you decide to work from home after having a baby, you need to plan ahead so that you can ably do the two things. For balancing work and baby's care, you need preparedness.
Being a new mom is chaotic enough, and managing work in addition becomes a challenge. If you decide to work from home after having a baby, you need to plan ahead so that you can ably do the two things. For balancing work and baby's care, you need preparedness. However, you must prioritise baby's care and decide what must be done and what can wait accordingly.
Here is how you'll be able to give all the time to your newborn's needs and be able to get your work done.
Know when to get up
It will be great if you can get up before your baby does. This will free up time later so you can get work done.
Make a schedule
Make a schedule for the baby, as much as possible. They are on their own routine, but get them into the habit of taking naps at certain time. This will allow you to better plan your work tasks and get them done without interruptions. Besides taking advantage of naps, it will give you time to do household chores and relax.
Create a safe area for baby near work area
It is always better to create a safe area for baby near your work area. Even if you are busy at work, you don't need to worry about the baby. This will also relieve you from worrying about an absent or no baby sitter at all.
Be ready
You should always be ready with a milk bottle so that you can simply pick your baby up, feed him and then get back to work. Moreover, have diapers and wipes handy, too.
Hire a babysitter
If you can't get your work done while your baby is sleeping, hire a babysitter to care for the baby during the hours you have to work. This will help you finish your task more efficiently because you don't have to comfort your baby or change their diaper. If you find the presence of a sitter and baby in the house disturbing, send them on a walk around the block while you work. Alternatively, you can consider enrolling your baby to a part-time child care centre so that there are no interruptions when you have to work.
Switch job
If, despite your efforts, you are not able to balance baby's care and work, you should consider switching your job. There are several work-from-home jobs available, make sure caring for baby remains your priority. A job that doesn't require making calls or doesn't have strict deadlines will suit new mothers. Switch to a job where you can work as per your convenience.
When you have a newborn to look after, it is advised to not take on too much responsibility or you risk getting overwhelmed. If you are not able to get into a schedule that works for you and your baby, consider not working for some time.

George Bernard Shaw
Pygmalion is a 5-act play by George Bernard Shaw. It was written in 1912 and first produced in 1913. The plot revolves around Professor Henry Higgins' bet with a colleague over whether he can transform a low-class flower girl, Liza Doolittle, into the equivalent of a Duchess in just 6 months. Pygmalion was a Greek mythological figure who fell in love with a sculpture he had carved and was a popular theme in Victorian drama.
Most people would be familiar with the characters Eliza Doolittle and Henry Higgins from the hit 1956 musical My Fair Lady, which was adapted from Pygmalion, though the plots differ in small but significant ways. In particular Shaw wanted to avoid any sense of a "happy ending" and, after viewing a performance of the play where an extra scene had been added, he wrote a sequel which definitively states what came after. The sequel was included in the published edition.

Tech firms told to censor more, WhatsApp blocked in China – China's latest top news
Jeremy Goldkorn's selection of the top stories from China on September 25, 2017. Part of the daily SupChina newsletter, a convenient package of China's business, political, and cultural news delivered to your inbox for free. Subscribe here.
Yet another round of internet censorship
Reuters reports that three of China's largest tech firms have been fined for not censoring enough sensitive content. The Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) did not disclose the amount of the fines given to Tencent, Baidu, and Weibo except that they would receive the "maximum penalty" for hosting banned content, including fake news and pornography, as well as content that "incites ethnic tension" and "threatens social order." Reuters notes that the maximum penalty for any individual in charge of a platform in violation of the rules cited by CAC is 100,000 yuan ($15,110) each.
The fines — largely symbolic, as such sums of money are pocket change for these large corporations — are one result of new cybersecurity regulations that went into effect in May this year. Listen to a Sinica Podcast with Adam Segal for more on China's tightening grip on cyberspace.
Meanwhile, in other corners of the Chinese internet:
- The New York Times reports (paywall) that WhatsApp has finally been completely blocked in China, after years of intermittent access. It was the "last of Facebook products to still be available in mainland China," and its demise is a setback for Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, who has gone to great lengths to try to crack the Chinese market. Technical specialists told the Times that because of WhatsApp's encryption methods, the censorship may indicate that China's cyberspace authorities "may have developed specialized software to interfere with such messages."
- The Times also describes (paywall) a series of crackdowns on the freedom of speech online in China, including a directive earlier this summer issued by the China Netcasting Services Association banning 68 categories of content.
- Last week, the People's Daily criticized (in Chinese) AI-driven news aggregator Toutiao by name, specifically warning of the danger of "information cocoons" (信息茧房 xìnxī jiǎn fáng) — echo chambers — that consumers of overly personalized newsfeeds might get trapped in.
- Lawfare summarizes and analyzes recent Chinese government moves intended to end anonymity online in an article titled "Shrinking anonymity in Chinese cyberspace."
Vaping in China
Although electronic cigarettes were invented in China in 2003 by Hon Lik 韩力, a pharmacist from the northeastern city of Shenyang, the habit of vaping — inhaling vaporized nicotine — has taken much longer to catch on in China than in many other markets. That's Shanghai says this is now changing with "the rise of a new tribe of Chinese street-style-loving millennials" who have brought boom times to vape shops since late 2016.
Although many users of electronic cigarettes believe vaping is safer than conventional cigarette smoking, the jury is still out: A 2014 investigation (paywall) by the New York Times found little evidence of quality control in the factories in Shenzhen, where about 90 percent of the world's vaping devices are manufactured. The article warns that "flawed or sloppy manufacturing could account for some of the heavy metals, carcinogens and other dangerous compounds, such as lead, tin and zinc, that have been detected in some e-cigarettes."
China in the L.A. Review of Books
The Los Angeles Review of Books has launched a China Channel on its website, edited by a great team of writers, academics, translators, and bookish China nerds.
SCMP meets Sinica on October 9
If you're in New York on October 9, come join me and Kaiser at 6:30 p.m. at the China Institute in downtown Manhattan for a special live Sinica Podcast with Gary Liu, CEO of the South China Morning Post. We're planning to ask Gary if the South China Morning Post can thrive as a real news organization in troubled times for free expression in Hong Kong.

Bodhisattva vow
|Part of a series on
|Mahāyāna Buddhism
Mahāyāna schools
|Mahayana Buddhism portal
The Bodhisattva vow is the vow taken by Mahayana Buddhists to attain complete enlightenment for the sake of all sentient beings. One who has taken the vow is nominally known as a Bodhisattva. Whereas the Prātimokṣa vows cease at death, the Bodhisattva vow extends into future lives. There are two traditions of the Bodhisattva vow, one originating from Asanga and the other from Nagarjuna.

Taking the Bodhisattva vow
A Bodhisattva vow is found at the end of the Avatamsaka Sutra by Samantabhadra. In the Bodhisattvacaryāvatāra, Shantideva explains that the Bodhisattva vow is taken with the following famous two verses from Sutra:
Just as all the previous Sugatas, the Buddhas
Generated the mind of enlightenment
And accomplished all the stages
Of the Bodhisattva training,
So will I too, for the sake of all beings,
Generate the mind of enlightenment
And accomplish all the stages
Of the Bodhisattva training.[1]
Alexander Berzin (1997) asserts that the bodhisattva vow transcends the present lifetime:
The promise to keep bodhisattva vows applies not only to this life, but to each subsequent lifetime until enlightenment. Thus these vows continue on our mind-stream into future lives.[2]
In Mahayana Buddhism, the bodhisattva vows to work for the relief and liberation (nirvana) of all sentient beings as long as samsara persists.
This can be done by venerating all Buddhas and by cultivating supreme moral and spiritual perfection, to be placed in the service of others. In particular, Bodhisattvas promise to practice the six perfections of giving, moral discipline, patience, effort, concentration and wisdom in order to fulfill their bodhicitta aim of attaining enlightenment for the sake of all beings.[3]
East Asia
The following table of the fourfold vow is as practiced by the Mahayana traditions of China, Japan, and Korea.

|Butsu do mu jo sei gan jo
|Bul do mu sang seo won seong

[I/we] vow to accomplish [it]
In Tibetan Buddhism there are two lineages of the bodhisattva vow. The first is associated with the Cittamatra movement of Indian Buddhism, and is said to have originated with the bodhisattva Maitreya, and to have been propagated by Asanga. The second is associated with the Madhyamaka movement, and is said to have originated with the bodhisttva Manjusri and to have been propagated by Nagarjuna, and later by Shantideva. The main difference between these two lineages of the bodhisattva vow is that in the Cittamatra lineage the vow cannot be received by one who has not previously received the pratimokṣa vows.[4]

Picking Marc up just after 10.00 a.m. this morning the outlook was bleak and the hopes for a few hours birding was not high. Walking from the Towers at Reculver down to Coldharbour the tide was high and perhaps there was a chance of the Goosanders that had been lurking around the area for the last week. Redshank, Oystercatcher and Curlew were soon recorded along with Wigeon and Mallard. A lone Marsh Harrier quartered over the Oyster farm and a single Little Egret made the notebook. Heathy was delighted to get the camera out of the bag and photograph a Stonechat. Having recorded 5 Shelduck Marc then called another but on close inspection it was a male GOLDENEYE ,which is a difficult species for the area. A few decent images were taken and we continued on our way. Over 20 Ringed Plover were roosting on the shingle along with a smattering of Turnstone and Dunlin. Two Greylag Geese flew overhead and then Heathy received a text from our chums the 3 SHORELARKS that they were waiting for us.After a 10 minute chat we started our return walk satisfied. As we passed the Greenwall 27 Sanderling whizzed by and an unusual Grebe greeted us. After a little deliberation and a few flight shots plus a call to Chris - SLAVONIAN GREBE was confirmed which is a new Reculver bird for both 'Dances with Owls' and myself. Well pleased we nipped into Hampton Pier to 'Tick and Run' 3 PURPLE SANDPIPERS and an Eider. Great Morning, Good Fun. Thanks for your company Marc.

The annual Rock Revival event is a "fun-raiser" for City of Kitchener staff, Region of Waterloo staff, community friends and family. It is also a "fund-raiser" for the Children's Wish Foundation of Canada. Proceeds from our Silent Auction are donated to the chosen charity and is well supported on the night of the show. Rock Revival has supported Children's Wish Foundation for 13 years now and has raised over $55,000 for the charity!
About The Children's Wish Foundation of Canada
Each year, thousands of Canadian children between the ages of 3 and 17 are diagnosed with a life-threatening illness. Since 1984, The Children's Wish Foundation of Canada has worked tirelessly to grant exceptional wishes to more than 25,000 children and their families. This year, Children's Wish expects to grant over 1,000 new wishes and is proud to have never refused a wish to an eligible child, and with the help of volunteers and generous donors, is able to grant nearly three wishes every day. Each wish is an individual adventure, carefully structured to meet the needs of a particular child and family. Children's Wish is a national charity with chapters in every province and territory.
Rock Revival cast and crew were thrilled to help a child's "wish come true".

A new report by ASPE (Assistant Secretary for Evaluation and Planning), a research arm of the US Department of Health and Human Services, confirms that US drug prices for some of the physician-administered drugs covered under Medicare Part B are almost double the prices in other wealthy countries. To date, there is no bill in Congress to do anything about it. And, there is no evidence that President Trump will do anything meaningful about these high prices in his executive capacity, notwithstanding his claims to the contrary.
The ASPE report explores some of the drivers of high physician-administered (non-retail) drug spending under Part B. Non-retail drug spending for each Medicare enrollee increased 7 percent a year in the five years between 2006 and 2011 and 11 percent a year in the five years between 2011 and 2016. One driver of high non-retail drug spending is that physicians have a financial incentive to administer costlier drugs, as they earn 6 percent of the cost of the drugs they administer.
Price is another driver of high drug spending. The researchers find that Medicare pays on average 1.8 times more for these non-retail drugs than peer countries. Medicare does not use a formulary as a tool to limit coverage and rein in the price of non-retail drugs. Other countries often rely on a formulary to keep their drug spending in check.
ASPE compared drug prices for 27 non-retail drugs on which Medicare spends the most. And, it looked at their prices in 17 countries, including the US.
President Trump claims that he wants to bring these Medicare Part B drug prices down to a level similar to what peer countries pay, sometimes called international reference pricing. If he actually were to do so, it could be a small step forward. But, his proposal leaves one wondering why he is not addressing drug prices under the Part D prescription drug benefit, where drug spending is far higher.
Moreover, there is no reason to believe Part B drug prices will come down under Trump's proposed plan, given that he has made all kinds of claims about reining in prescription drug prices, none of which have come to pass.
Even if Trump's international reference pricing proposal were implemented, it would likely make no difference on overall drug spending, which in 2017 totaled $489 billion, or reduce out-of-pocket costs for people with Medicare. The administration is claiming a savings of $17.2 billion over 5 years, less than $3.5 billion a year. That represents less than 1.0% of the drug industry's revenues in 2017.
It is also easy to imagine that pharmaceutical companies will raise their prices higher elsewhere or otherwise game the system to ensure their profits remain intact. Axios reports that investors are not worried that Trump's plan will have any effect. The Nasdaq's Biotechnology Index was up 1.75% after Trump's announcement.
If you want Congress to rein in drug prices, please sign this petition.

I HATE wearing my glasses
I know it's only been 3 days of glasses wearingness, but I have to reiterate that I HATE wearing my glasses.
- They aren't the correct prescription, so I have trouble reading things like, say, street signs when I'm on the bus, making figuring out my stop a little challenging.
- They are kind of scratched up, making them extra hard to see through.
- They don't sit properly on my face because the arms are bent, making them crooked, which makes me look even worse than if I were just wearing non-crooked glasses, which is already bad enough.
- They do not protect my eyes when I cut onions, which I was painfully reminded of this last night when I was cooking dinner. When I wear contacts, they make me eye-invincible to the painful, tear-producing evil that is chopping onions. Glasses leave my eyeballs naked and, thus, vulnerable to the onions.
- They get in the way – you have to take your glasses off when you get dressed. Or brush your hair – but then, of course, you can't see how your hair looks when you are brushing it!
- Alternating between my glasses & my prescription sunglasses is a right pain the butt. When I wear contacts, if I'm going in and outdoors repeatedly (such as when I go window shopping along Broadway), I merely have to put my sunglasses on top of my head when I enter the (relatively) dark store, then pop them down onto my face when I go back in the sunshine. When I'm wearing glasses, every time I go into a store, I have to reach into my bag, find my glasses' case, and then swap my sunglasses for my regular glasses. And then vice versa when I leave the store to go back out into the sunshine. Pain. In. The. Butt.
- It's not a problem right now, but I remember from back in my youth, before I first got contacts, that wearing glasses in the winter sucked because your glasses always steam up when you go inside.
- I don't look like me in my glasses – I can't even tell you how many people at the AdHack Launch Party on Friday said, "I didn't recognize you with your glasses on!"
There is, however, one benefit to wearing glasses: It gives you the opportunity to do the sexy "holding glasses up to your mouth" pose:
Is it time for my laser eye surgery, yet?

Just one year after France passed legislation permitting crowdsourced loans for small businesses, peer-to-peer platform Lendix has become the first to raise €1m in France for a company in a single transaction, according to the Financial Times. €1m, the maximum the new law permits, was raised for building company Orexim.
Since the law was approved in October, over 70 companies in France have been created, such as Lendopolis, Finsquare and PretPME, offering P2P loans to small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Pret d'Union has been quite successful, but has mostly lent to individuals. The platform received $5.22m in funding in 2011, and then $4.18m in 2012, noted the FT.
Lender's English website notes,
Lendix is an online marketplace where French SMEs access financing from private and institutional investors. Lendix selects credit worthy companies that investors can choose to lend to. Only companies with more than two years of profitable operations can apply.
Lendix loans start from € 30,000 to € 1,000,000 with maturities ranging from 18 to 60 months with monthly repayments and amortisation.
All loans are selected, analyzed and presented to Lendix' credit committee which decides their rating and borrowing rate, from 4% to 9%. Projects are then presented on the marketplace where private investors can buy them.
Institutionals invest through our dedicated vehicules.
Regarding the transaction, Olivier Goy, Lendix's founder, commented,
We have already become a genuine alternative to bank loans in France. It is a great way for small and medium companies to diversify their financing.
Lendix began lending to companies in March of this year, including a loan to French chef Alain Ducasse for three restaurants, who borrowed €300,000 in total. This year, the company said it will lend about €25m, but expects to be lending several times that amount by 2017. Goy also has his eye on launching other places in Europe, especially Spain, very quickly.

Birth, marriage, and death records of William and Josephine, and the only record, a list, with the names and dates of birth of their children that reached adulthood.
15 On 8 February in the morning at four o'clock
a boy was born at this location. He was baptized the same day at twelve o'clock in the afternoon
in the St. Martin's church. He was named Wilhelm Böniz. Father: Anton Böniz master-cooper
Mother: Maria Ana Wagner. Sponsors: Joseph Peintner master-saddler and M. Ana Müller Bürgersfrau (middle-class woman).
Witness: Anton Halbling master-butcher. Endingen, 8 February 1815
Anton Wild chaplain performed the baptism
Alexander Umber, pastor
During the time of confusion while California was transfered from Mexico to the U.S., official acts of marriage (and resulting baptisms) were delayed. William & Josephine had wed informally the previous year. This is their formal marriage and is the third entry in the Sonoma County "Record of Marriages". William signed as a witness to the first entry, the marriage of Hügal, one of his Rancho Herman partners. Witnesses James Black and Edward McIntosh were neighbors of Josephine's father, Michael Kolmer, in Occidental, California. Per historian Lynn Rudy, the marriage ceremony most likely took place in Santa Rosa for John Nash was somewhat rotund and would not have travelled to Occidental, and certainly not remote Fort Ross.
On the 23rd. day of Feb AD 1847
in the District of Sonoma Upper California William Bennet and Josephine Coleman both of
the said District were married by me John Nash Chief Justice of the said District and
Edward E McIntosh and Augustuna Black were present as witnesses of said marriage
John H. Nash J.P.
James Black
Manuel E. McIntosh
Augusten Black
William and Josephine had ten children, all born at Fort Ross, California. Their children's births (and deaths) were not entered in any official record (county, state, or otherwise) and the only record we have of their names and birth dates is this list made by William. The list is incomplete, for William did not include the unlucky first three who died as infants.

The GEMS program is currently on hold pending additional guidance from Seattle Public Schools.
Girls in Engineering, Math, and Science (GEMS) is a science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) enrichment program for 7th and 8th grade girls currently attending a Seattle public school. The goal of the program is to encourage girls to maintain and broaden their interest in STEM topics by providing hands-on activities, mentoring, field trips, and information about a variety of fields.
GEMS meetings occur once a month from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm, and are held at two sites: one at a South Shore PK-8 in South Seattle and one at the Fred Hutch in South Lake Union. The activities are the same at both locations, so students will only be admitted to one of the GEMS sites. We also hold several optional field trips throughout the year.
GEMS dates at Fred Hutch will be held on the following Tuesdays in 2019-2020:
Nov. 5th
Dec. 3rd
Jan. 7th
Feb. 4th
March 3rd
April 7th
May 5th
GEMS dates at South Shore PK-8 will be held on the following Wednesdays in 2019-2020:
Nov. 6th
Dec. 4th
Jan. 8th
Feb 5th
March 4th
April 8th
May 6th
Who can participate in GEMS?
Any 7th or 8th grade student who identifies as a girl and is currently attending a Seattle public school is welcome to apply.
How do I apply?
If you would like to be notified when next year's GEMS application opens, please fill out this form.
We try to accommodate every applicant, but unfortunately do not always have space. We strive to choose applicants with a diverse range of experiences, interests, and backgrounds that represent the student population of the Seattle Public School District.
How much does GEMS cost?
The program is free to students, but requires transportation to and from all events. We often find that girls who would benefit most are unable to find transport to the sessions, so we are very grateful to parents who offer to provide carpool seats to other families. GEMS is funded by annual dues from the Seattle Area chapter of the Association for Women in Science (AWIS-SA) membership, and is led entirely by volunteers.
What do I get to do in GEMS?
You will get to participate in a hands-on activity once a month during the school year. We also hold several field trips throughout the academic year.
Our tentative activity schedule this year is
- November: Bridge Building (use engineering concepts to build bridges out of straws)
- December: DNA (extract DNA from strawberries and discuss important aspects of genetics)
- January: Astrophysics
- February: Chromatography
- March: Neuroscience
- April: Forensic Science (use chemical analysis and logic to investigate a crime)
- May: Oceanography (learn about the ocean and build a plankton model to better understand the concept of buoyancy)
Past field trips have included:
- Northwest Medical Physics Center
- UW Planetarium
- Thompson Research Vessel
- UW Greenhouse
- BioQuest at Seattle BioMed
- Beach walk with Seattle Aquarium
- 3D Printing Design
- Center for Infectious Disease Research

In addition, the World Association of extreme riders / UMCA / race is re-evaluated as the best in Europe. It has been placed on the calendar of events for the World Cup 2013 and qualifying as a race for the RAAM (Race Across America), the largest and most difficult race of extreme riders in the world.
The spirit of departed ultra-cyclist, 5-time RAAM champion, Jure Robic, lives on in the hearts, minds and legs of all participants, organizers and fans of the DOS-RAS Extreme race around Slovenia.
Previously DOS-RAS had been a solos-only event. Last year when RAAM management learned DOS-RAS was going to add a 2-person team component, and knowing RAAM management planned to organize a racing team, discussions began regarding RAAM Racing's participation in this year's DOS-RAS. The Race was added to RAAM Racing's schedule – #2 in a planned 10-event schedule.
Slovenia is a mountainous country at the NE end of the Adriatic Sea bordered on the west by Italy, the north by Austria, the east by Hungary and the south by Croatia. Slovenia gained independence in 1991, joined the EU in 1994 and became part of the Eurozone in 2007. The comparatively small country (7800 square miles with population of 2 million) is stunningly beautiful, prosperous and produces an incredible number of gifted athletes.
One of the unique features of DOS-RAS is that the start of the event occurs as night begins to descend on the hills surrounding Postojna. The night start is welcomed by most of the racers and crew, as they all recognize there will be a couple of nights of racing to get through, and getting one out of the way at the outset is a good thing.

Capturing Peru's variety of colours in a soft yarn.
The balayage yarn was the product of the idea to develop a high-quality yarn in accordance with a specific colour concept. We wanted to create colours that provide unlimited creative options and flow harmoniously into one another, almost as if dyed by hand. This gave rise to a yarn that is excellent for shawls but, of course, for any other knitting project too, and is particularly well suited to colour techniques such as jacquard or Fair Isle. A well-known designer and good friend, Melanie Berg, who is known as Mairlynd, contributed to the development of this yarn concept from the beginning. With her instinct for colours and talent for creating appealing colour worlds and our expertise in producing high-quality and exclusive yarns, important key skills are therefore combined in one yarn: Balayage.
In order to implement this idea, we initially considered three different yarns at the same time, which vary in terms of their composition and yarn weight. Thanks to the different composition in the fibre quality and colour, we achieved a natural mottled effect, which creates a soft and varied colour effect. Using yarn samples, we thoroughly investigated which of the samples would be able to best achieve the colour effect we wanted. Even the smallest of differences in the composition have a significant effect on the colour that is achieved later. We did not, of course, ignore the feel and yarn quality during this development stage either. A yarn that is primarily intended to be suitable for varied and colourful shawls should not be too fluffy or too smooth. On this basis, we then took a close look at different colours in different combinations. It was important to us to achieve a colour shade that was not too loud and that highlighted colours that go well together with contrast colours.
It's all about the yarn!
Why did we call it Balayage? The term comes from the hairdressing industry and refers to a hair colouring technique in which a particular colour gradient is achieved on the hair. This colour gradient principle embodies the colours of Balayage. Colour groups of four colours are designed to work together and can be combined with colours from the other groups to achieve a contrast. The colours are inspired by the variety of colours in Peru and are named after places in Peru.
The unique nature of the yarn, i.e. the mixture of white organic merino wool fibres with white and grey baby alpaca wool, creates a mottled grey tone (colour 617 Ishinca). The colour gradient effect is supported within the individual threads and very natural colour accents along the lines of hand dyeing techniques.
Balayage is made from 80% baby alpaca and 20% virgin wool, organic merino in extra-fine 21.5 micron, free from mulesing, of course. The ball of wool weighs 1.76 oz (50 g) and measures 190 yds (175 m). Perfect knitting results are achieved with 3 U.S. (3.25 mm ~10 UK) knitting needles.
The wool is produced in a fair and sustainable manner.
The concept of sustainability runs through from the animal fibres to the packaging materials.
The yarn itself is obtained and produced in a continuous process in Peru. In the plateaus of Peru, the alpacas are able to move around freely and are kept in a manner that is appropriate for the species. The animals are shorn with modern machines in order to subject the animals to as little stress as possible. However, sustainability is about more than just species-appropriate farming. The working conditions are fair and great value is placed on a recycling economy in order to protect the environment. This means that the entire process of ultimately processing these wonderful fibres to form yarn is self-contained. For example, the mud that is created when the fibres are washed is used to fertilise the pastures. Care is taken to ensure that energy consumption is made more environmentally friendly by using solar energy and the water that is used is recycled in the recycling system.

Anders Behring Breivik had carefully planned his evil doings in the Government quarters of Oslo, and at the Utöya youth camp, on July 22nd of 2011.
He claims to have spent 80 days in preparing it, and in a 1500-pages long manifest (spread to selected people in European right-wing movements) he writes about his thinking as what he calls a Conservative, and as a freedom fighter (martyr), Knight Templar, prepared to die in his fight against multiculturalism, marxists and Islam's steady conquering of Europe. He ideal countries are Japan and South-Corea, named repeatedly as countries that have stood strong against "multiculturalism", though an academic partner of him on www-document.no is convinced he is not a nazi.
I get sick when I see the twisted turns ideology can get, when positive passion for a culture and a country and its way of living, turns into intolerance and takes the step into this fanatic, dreamlike adventurous phantasy thinking and acting. As in this 12-minute summary of the 1500 pages that he had prepared untill the very day of the 22nd of July, and published in the web on the 23rd

Residential attic insulation is a simple way to help your Atlanta home to be more energy-efficient. A well-insulated residence, especially in the attic, helps keep cool air in during the cooling season and prevents warm air from getting out during the heating season. It can also help save you money since your furnace and air conditioning systems aren't having to work nonstop to keep your home pleasant in the extreme Atlanta temperatures.
Not only can improving your home's attic insulation help you save money on your monthly energy bills, you may also be able to receive rebates from your Atlanta area energy corporations to help balance the cost of the new insulation. Some regions offer up to $0.15 per square foot in rebates, while others give a flat-rate residential attic insulation rebate. To discover more about the savings in your area, call your utility provider or visit http://dsireusa.org for further information on energy efficiency rebates for your home.

"I am winding down Irrational Games as you know it," Levine said. "I'll be starting a smaller, more entrepreneurial endeavor at Take-Two. That is going to mean parting ways with all but about fifteen members of the Irrational team. There's no great way to lay people off, and our first concern is to make sure that the people who are leaving have as much support as we can give them during this transition."
To that end, Irrational Games will offer "financial support" to employees affected by the move, as well as the possibility to meet with other Take-Two studios to discuss future employment. Irrational Games will also host a recruiting day where third-party studios and publishers can meet with outgoing Irrational Games developers.
Levine's new project will be announced "in time," he said. The goal for the new endeavor will be to "make narrative-driven games for the core gamer that are highly replayable." Whatever form this new project ends up taking, it will be digitally delivered, he added.
"Seventeen years is a long time to do any job, even the best one. And working with the incredible team at Irrational Games is indeed the best job I've ever had. While I'm deeply proud of what we've accomplished together, my passion has turned to making a different kind of game than we've done before," Levine said. "To meet the challenge ahead, I need to refocus my energy on a smaller team with a flatter structure and a more direct relationship with gamers. In many ways, it will be a return to how we started: a small team making games for the core gaming audience."
"When I first contemplated what I wanted to do, it became very clear to me that we were going to need a long period of design. Initially, I thought the only way to build this venture was with a classical startup model, a risk I was prepared to take," he added. "But when I talked to Take-Two about the idea, they convinced me that there was no better place to pursue this new chapter than within their walls. After all, they're the ones who believed in and supported BioShock in the first place."
Levine's last BioShock-related project is the two-part BioShock Infinite Burial at Sea campaign. The second episode arrives on March 25. It is unclear what this announcement means for the future of BioShock for the PlayStation Vita. We've reached out to Irrational Games and Take-Two for comment.
"I'm handing the reins of our creation, the BioShock universe, to 2K so our new venture can focus entirely on replayable narrative," Levine said. "If we're lucky, we'll build something half as memorable as BioShock."

Tony Award winners Lin-Manuel Miranda and Ben Platt will perform their recent Hamilton and Dear Evan Hansen mashup, "Found/Tonight," at the March 24 March for Our Lives demonstration in Washington, D.C.
The two shared on Twitter that they would also march in the student-led movement focused on ending gun violence and mass shootings in the wake of the mass shooting at Parkland's Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.
👋🏽👋🏽— Lin-Manuel Miranda (@Lin_Manuel) March 22, 2018
.@BenSPLATT and I will be performing #FoundTonight at #MarchForOurLives in DC this Saturday 3/24. Rally with us at 12pm https://t.co/He57tNHfLH pic.twitter.com/z6HiIhKbRL
Their performance follows the March 19 release of the arrangement, which combines Hamilton's "The Story of Tonight" and Dear Evan Hansen's "You Will Be Found." Proceeds from track downloads go toward March for Our Lives.
The Thespian Troupe 4879 of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School was also recently honored with the Spirit of Thespis Award at the closing ceremonies of the Florida Thespian Festival in Tampa. The award is given to troupes that demonstrate grace in times of hardship. Several members of the school's theatre program were actively involved in the emergence of the March for Our Lives Movement. Theatre teacher and troupe director Melody Herzfeld accepted the award.
The track was the fourth installment in Miranda's #Hamildrop series, which offers new Hamilton-inspired content every month through December.
