Attempting the Impossible
Is translation possible?
Sure, people translate every day and the translations are generally functional and sometimes beautiful. But translation isn't just about making the same information available in another language; it's about capturing all the feelings, images, ideas, and considerations behind each word and phrase, and the culture and history underlying the text. Frankly, it seems impossible to do this, for a number of reasons.
For one thing, all readers read a different book. Our individual backgrounds, experiences, interests, and beliefs lead us to interpret and understand each text in a slightly different way than all other readers. For example, imagine a dog right now. What are you seeing in your head? How big is the dog? Is it a mutt or a specific breed? What color is the dog's fur? How old is it? How large is its tail? We all understand that the word "dog" refers to a furry, four-legged canine of some sort, but in reality, it doesn't mean the exact same thing to any two people. Take this concept writ large and it is easy to see how each text produces different reactions and feelings and images in each reader. Five readers who read a book could be said to be reading five different books and five translators would translate a book in five different ways. If you consider a translator to be first and foremost a reader (a translator, after all, has to thoroughly read and understand the text in order to be able to translate it), then all translations are dependent on how the translator reads the original document and then on how the readers of the translation understand the translator's re-creation of the text. So we're already distanced quite a bit from what the author said in the source language.
The next problem is that languages (and cultures) don't work in the same way. As with the dog example, there are words and phrases that represent one thing for people who come from a certain culture or speak a particular language, but would imply something else altogether for other groups. How many times have people discussed the fact that the Swedish word "lagom" is very difficult to translate? We can write "just right" or "enough" or something along those lines, but those insufficient English translations miss the whole culture behind the word. To be dramatic, one might even say that to not understand "lagom" is to not understand Sweden. Beyond vocabulary, it's important to remember that grammar, word order, pronunciation, rhythm, sounds, and many other factors also influence meaning.
So if words don't have a universal meaning even for people who speak the same language and if various languages emphasize different aspects or have different rules, translation becomes a very difficult task. We simply can't say the same things in the same ways in all languages; instead, we often have to rephrase or change the meaning slightly.
For many non-fiction translations, it can be enough to just get close. A menu offers chicken and dumplings and salmon with a dill sauce or two parties agree in a contract to work together on a specific project or an instruction manual says to connect this piece to that one. Such translations are often more about the information being transferred than about the language itself and the feelings and images it suggests. But for literary work, the standards are higher and the challenges multiply.
There can never be a perfect translator or a perfect translation. However, as Mr. Rabassa writes, translation "may be impossible but it can at least be essayed."

Hej, Helena! Tack så mycket!

I am delighted that you started this, Brett. I have spoken French fluently for years, have been reading French novels for fun (as opposed to for a grads) for almost as long, but just began translating for pay before Christmas. (Although I often find myself translating whole paragraphs of, say, an Inspector Maigret roman policier into English, and was vvery conscious, upon reading a translation of one of the Maigret mysteries, of reading a translation done by an Briton.)
I've been translating recipes AND the commentary that goes with them, and an fascinated by the way whoever wrote the commentaries writes: disjointed thought sequence, Jerry-Lewis-culture-grade French.
It's really hard to create a reasonable translation when one has little respect for the text one is being paid to translate. But ...
I look forward to reading further.
And praying for more translating jobs. Any suggestions?

Hi Anne,
Thank you for your comments. It's great to hear from other translators! And it's great to hear from Bryn Mawr alumnae!
Reading as a translator is fascinating. What do you notice as you read a work that you know was translated?
About finding translation jobs -- what areas do you want to work in (fiction, websites, legal texts, etc.)? Have you signed up with any translation agencies? Or joined any translation associations? I hope that finding translation work will be a topic of discussion on the blog in the near future!
Best wishes,

What do I notice as I read a work that was translated? Well, if William Weaver does it, I don't notice anything beyond a wholeness of the work. OR, look at Gabriel Garcia Marquez's Strange Pilgrims: whoever translated that is a divine being: I found the preface, for example (and this was 20 years ago) a nearly mystical experience. So I suppose what I notice is whether or not there seems to be some kind of alien tonality imposed on the text. As in reading an Inspector Maigret mystery with Britishisms (ouch! they rang false!)
I have only translated recipes and accompanying brief essays about them and their origins. This was fairly recently, for an impending multi-cultural cookbook. I really enjoyed it (it was like doing a good Crossword puzzle). So my experience is really very limited. And the prose of those essays was very second rate, in my not so humble opinion.
What I would like to translate... children's books? Short essays on things not too esoteric? Something that would give me a different kind of starting point than recipes...

Hi Anne,
I wonder who translated "Strange Pilgrims." That would be interesting to know. I don't think it was Gregory Rabassa.
I think William Weaver is good translator (I would love to read Italo Calvino in the original and be able to compare to the English versions) whose work is "transparent." Some people say that to say a translation is "transparent" is the highest compliment you can pay a translator! I also like Mr. Rabassa's work. The Paul Auster interview I mention in a recent post includes him saying that he thinks there are some "sublimely talented translators in America today" (although he said that 20 years ago) and he mentions Mr. Rabassa, Wilbur (I assume he means Richard Wilbur, who just today won the Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize), Manheim (probably Ralph Manheim), and Mandelbaum (probably Allen Mandelbaum).

To continue responding to your comment:
It's always a special challenge to translate something that was poorly written or that you don't agree with, so I sympathize with your situation. Some customers seem to expect that the translator will not only translate but also improve the text and that is not the translator's job!
I would also love to translate children's books, especially because there are some truly wonderful ones here (beyond Astrid Lindgren!), but I understand that there is little interest in translated children's lit at this point, unfortunately.
I think that since you're starting out and looking for experience, you should sign up with agencies and join translation lists that have job announcements (such as http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/jobs-translators/). Those might be good places to start!

When I'm not procrastinating my life away looking at the internet, watching 80's movies, reading old Sweet Valley High books, all the YA fiction books, listening to old Bryan Adams & Whitesnake albums or pinning 80's kitchens to Pinterest or doing my day job, I'm super busy writing a novel. It's about time travel & the 1980's. I love time travel, that desire we all have to go back and start again or to be a part of something amazing from history like being an extra in the roller skating scene at the end of Xanadu, because if you had a time machine, where could you possibly go in all of time and space that would be more fun than this?
But time moves forward and we age in the process. I hope I don't age too much before my novel is finished. I want to be able to rock an 80's prom dress at my movie première.
I've done a bunch of other writing stuff like travel articles for magazines, theatre reviews, a tween fiction book about kids who go to a performing arts school, a Sweet Valley High blog that got one follower and in the early 2000's I wrote some angsty songs with 3 guitar chords. Hopefully this novel turns out a hell of a lot better than those songs were.

In 1959, Riverside Records released Everybody Digs Bill Evans, hoping to garner attention for the relatively unrecognized pianist's second LP with a cover devoted to accolades from Miles Davis, Ahmad Jamal and Cannonball Adderley. Relative Pitch has wittily adapted the title and design for this solo recital by Michel Doneda, covering it with quotes from fellow soprano saxophonists including John Butcher, Sam Newsome and Dave Liebman, beginning with Evan Parker's acrostic "May I commend his excellent legato? Don't our needy ears delight anew?" The homage is fitting, not only as tacit declaration that history does belong to the experimenters, but to emphasize Doneda's stature: a significant voice in Europe for over 30 years, he is relatively unknown in America. Doneda applies an array of techniques to create a highly personal vision. by Stuart Broomer, Published: December 2015 (Page 32) - Reprinted from the New York City Jazz Record Read the full review here <<

ABA Wants to Put Jurors on Active Duty
Leonard Post
The National Law Journal
Incoming American Bar Association President Robert J. Grey Jr. is starting his one-year tenure with a bang, launching a major revision of jury standards.
In what he has described as a "massive undertaking," the new and revised standards now being drafted will likely transform jurors from passive observers during the trial process to active participants -- a direction that some states have already taken.
Among the provisions on the table:
• Jurors questioning witnesses.
• Jurors discussing evidence as a civil trial unfolds.
• Return to jury unanimity and 12-person juries.
Expansions of challenges for cause and reductions in the number of peremptory challenges are also in the mix.
Speaking of the overhaul -- called the "American Jury Initiative" -– Grey, a partner in the Richmond, Va., office of Hunton & Williams, says, "We recognize that this is a massive undertaking, but we also recognize that it's time to do it."
"Juries have evolved. ... Through new technology, they receive, digest and use information in new ways," he said. "They are more sophisticated and that should be reflected in how jurors are allowed to handle information and arrive at a verdict."
The initiative has two parts -- the American Jury Project and the American Jury Commission. The project will draft a set of standards and submit them to the House of Delegates at the ABA's midyear meeting in February. The commission will educate the public about the critical role a jury plays in the U.S. justice system and encourage people to serve.
The project met for the first time in Chicago on June 10 to begin its work, while Grey was still president-elect. Their first task was to overlay the best practice standards now found in three distinct areas of the ABA standards -- civil litigation, criminal justice and judicial administration -- and combine them.
"We're not reinventing the wheel," said inactive senior Washington Judge Gregory Mize, a project member. "We'll be incorporating some of the standards from these other documents."
In what has been described as animated, but cordial, discussions in Chicago, the two dozen project members began to freshen the existing standards and put new proposals on the table. Since that meeting, as many as 10 members at a time have met through a series of conference calls.
"We're dragging the jury trial kicking and screaming into the 21st century," said Patricia Lee Refo, the project's chair, the outgoing chair of the ABA Section of Litigation and a partner in the Phoenix office of Snell & Wilmer.
"The idea is to take everything we know today about how people learn and process information, and apply it to the jury trial," Refo said. "There are still courtrooms in this country, for example, that don't let jurors take notes. Why in the world would we do that? None of us would listen to something of critical importance for days at a time without taking notes."
Project member and retired Maricopa County, Ariz., Superior Court Judge B. Michael Dann, who is a visiting fellow at the National Institute of Justice, has long fought for more active juror participation.
"The 10-year-juror reform movement has advocated a number of changes in the traditional formula, which assumed juror passivity," Dann said. "But active learners make better learners. The reforms introduce appropriate forms of juror activity that promote engagement and better learning and better juror satisfaction consistent with the parties' rights to a fair trial. Different ABA groups have endorsed some of these reforms, but no one had considered them as a package, but this group seems open-minded to doing so."
Every standard is slated for review. They range from juror note-taking, to the sizes of juries, to juror unanimity. Many reforms that have been adopted in some states have been proposed as new standards. These include: jurors being allowed to discuss evidence as a civil trial unfolds; jurors taking written jury instructions into deliberations, or taking jury books in that might include instructions, stipulations, brief summaries of the case by lawyers, and exhibits; and jurors taking notes, which is still forbidden in three states and discretionary in most others.
Expansion of challenges for cause and a reduction of the number of peremptory challenges allowed have been debated.
Grey, in response to a question at a National Center for State Courts-sponsored event in May in New York, acknowledged that peremptory challenges are often used "to get a biased jury." He was not, however, expressing an opinion about changing the ABA standards on such challenges, and he is not a project member.
And Mize doesn't expect much, if anything, will change regarding peremptory challenges, nor does he think it should.
"I don't think we'll have a recommendation that will do away with them," Mize said. "The traditional rationale has included a needed safeguard in the event a judge gets a challenge for cause wrong -- a backup to correct that error. Judicial error in for-cause strikes is not going to go away."
Giving jurors straightforward answers to their questions during deliberations is among the standards advocated by project member Shari Seidman Diamond, a senior research fellow at the American Bar Foundation and a professor at Northwestern University School of Law.
"Every effort should be made to supply a prompt, complete and responsive answer," said Diamond, a leading empirical researcher on the jury process. "And that's more than they do now."
She noted that judges often merely reread an instruction, rather than answer specific questions about an instruction's meaning.
Mize said that jury unanimity is one of the more hotly debated subjects.
"There is overwhelming support for unanimity except in some contexts involving civil litigation," Mize said.
Jury voir dire is in the mix, too, and is a tougher one to resolve, Mize asserted. "An advocate is looking for someone who won't hurt, or is warmly disposed to, their client," he said. "A judge is looking for an efficient way to find fair and impartial jurors."
There will be a set of core values, a preface of black-letter principles to which everyone agrees, said the project's reporter, Steve Landsman, a professor at DePaul University College of Law in Chicago, whose job it is to boil down the committee's discussions and recommendations. He insisted that although there is now a 26-page working document, it is still in flux. Most of the members were expected to meet again in person in Atlanta.
As an author and a lawyer interested in the quality and the integrity of the system, Landsman is certain that juries of 12 are the gold standard.
They are "better in remembering the evidence, and their decisions are much more likely to fall within the range of the acceptable or the appropriate, or whatever we want to call it," Landsman said. And "if you look at the data, what comes through loud and clear is that a smaller jury prevents the possibility of getting truly representative panels in a substantial number of cases -- that's straight statistics."
Only about one-third of the 15 million people who are sent juror summonses actually report to a courthouse. Some are excused for financial and health reasons; others can't be found and others just don't respond, said project and commission member G. Thomas Munsterman, the director of the Center for Jury Studies of the National Center for State Courts.
The ABA aims to increase participation by educating the public about the importance of jury service and the role it plays in American democracy. That job falls to the Commission on the American Jury, which is led by an Honorary Chair, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor. New York State Chief Judge Judith S. Kaye is one of three co-chairs.
An ABA-commissioned Harris Poll released Monday will give some guidance to the commission that will first meet in September to plan its campaign.
"For most people, jury service is seen as an interruption in their personal lives; we want people to see it as we do, as a privilege of citizenship, as a chance to do something meaningful in people's lives," said Kaye, who reported to jury duty last week.
"The ingeniousness of Robert's [Grey's] initiative is that there's a role for everybody -- for companies not to be negative when their employees are called, for schools to educate our children about its importance, for judges, for lawyers. ... " Kaye said. "Our job will be to correct the negative perceptions about jury service that are wrong and to correct the problems when the negative perceptions are based on fact."
The "initiative" is designed to be an ongoing process that will survive his tenure, Grey said.
"We cannot accomplish it all in one short year," said project chair Refo. She cited "interpreters for jurors" as an example of something that won't be resolved this year.
"If you are not completely fluent in English and you're an American citizen, does that mean you should never be on a jury?" asked Refo. "Some courts permit jurors who cannot hear. We're all a part of one justice system."

Don't get me wrong: the stock watch band on the Moto 360 is amazing. It's super comfortable, durable, and looks stunning. But there's one problem with it: it's made of leather. And as you may know, leather does not cope well with moisture.
This is an obvious problem for athletes (sweat) or people who shower with their watch on (not technically recommended, but hey, it's up to you!). The leather will become stiff, brittle, and will shrink if exposed to enough moisture.
For this reason I decided to search for a better option. And trust me, I didn't expect to find any option as attractive and easy to use as Tylt's.
Tylt is a company who specializes in mobile accessories. They've been one of my favorite companies in terms of aesthetics and functionality for quite some time. This qualified them to be one of the first places I looked. And look I did! Thanks to their easy to navigate site I found the one and only band they made – the silicone band for the Moto 360. This band is certified by Motorola to work great (and safely) with their device, making it an even better option than some sh*t you might find on eBay.
First off, I'd like to point out that the color Tylt sent me just might be discontinued. On the product page (linked at the end of this article) it only shows four colors (none of which are the olive green I received).
The unboxing was quite simple and within minutes I was ready to install the band. Thanks to the tool they included the old band popped right off and the new one slid right in. It was a lot easier than what I had read up on. Putting the band on was easy, too. It's a standard watch band (pin-in-the-hole clasp, I guess…?), but the keep is something I've never seen before. Instead of threading the band through a loop and inevitably having it fall out countless times per day, the end of the band clips into itself (the video above demonstrates this quite nicely). This feature brings a more streamlined look to the watch, makes it more comfortable to wear, and takes the worry out of having the watch slip off your wrist.
At first I wasn't super crazy about the olive green, but when I realized that the stainless steel accents matched the silver body of my watch perfectly I was a believer again. The band has a very nice ripple texture to it, and the silicone has a great feeling soft touch coating. This coating did indeed start to wear off after about 3 weeks into my month of testing the band. I was obviously disappointed, however, it happened on the underside of the band where it would rest on a table when you set your arm down.
The real determining factor in buying a watch band is comfort. Who wants to look stunning but suffer through the discomfort of having that look every day?
This offering from Tylt smashes my expectations. Yes, silicone is technically like rubber, but it doesn't feel a bit uncomfortable. Often I forgot it was on my wrist (admittedly, this happens with pretty much any watch as I'm a watch wearer anyways). Comparing to the leather band, the leather wasn't as comfortable as the Tylt band (barely less so!) for only one reason: there is a sharp thread coming out of the keep and digging into my wrist. If this wasn't so, I'd give them each a point for comfort, neither can be noticed by me after a day of use.
Compared to the leather band, the Tylt band is far easier to take off and put on. Instead of bending the band at a 180º angle and inserting it into the attached keep on the leather band, then threading it through yet another "mobile" keep, the silicone band goes through the pin-in-hole clasp and clips to itself a few inches later. I'd say it takes me half the time to put on and take off the new band when compared to the leather band. This is only a second or two difference, but depending on how busy you are this could be a big deal.
Overall, I'd have to give the win to the Tylt band over the Motorola leather band. Its ease of use and seemingly better quality makes me trust and like it more. Again, Motorola's band is a great option and I'd recommend sticking with it if you don't plan on it ever getting wet, but if you're an active person Tylt's band is probably the best option for you.
Let me know down below what your favorite band is for your smartwatch, and be sure to check out the video at the top of the post or linked below for my TechSession review!

The intense fire burns even brighter, as the third installment in the Retro Reels series, developed by Microgaming software, has finally arrived – Extreme Heat video slot. This popular series of online slots takes players back to the olden days, when only a pull of the lever was required for the coins to cascade out of the one-armed-bandit.
Today's online casino slots, with a myriad of rules, are very intimidating and unapproachable by beginner slot players. Microgaming heard the pleas of newbies, and instead of creating the first 50-reel /10,000-payline slot, decided to take the state-of-the-art technology of today and incorporate it into the easy to understand games of yesteryears.
Retro Reels - Extreme Heat makes use of the ever familiar symbols: bars, cherries, lemons, bells and sevens. The beautifully upgraded symbols along with dazzling background scenery, marvelous sound effects and huge rewards make the Extreme Heat slot truly sizzle.
Extreme Heat Retro Reels slot review emblazes the features: 5-reels with 30-paylines, the popular re-spin feature, wilds, multipliers, scatters and re-triggered free spins. The re-spin feature provides players with a second chance to hit a winning combo by re-spinning any one of the five reels. The magma hot Red Dollar is Wild and will transform to any symbol you need. The wild along with the re-spin gives players two chances to improve the reels to hit that high end jackpot!
If 3-5 scatters (Free Spin symbol) land anywhere on the reels, the Flaming Free Spin Bonus is about to begin. Not only will you be awarded 10-20 retriggered free spins, but all wins will be doubled as well. The spins are re-trigged more frequently than on other slots, so it's a lot of fun watch as the bankroll shoots up higher and higher.
Just because the look of the slot is retro doesn't mean the rewards are as well. Players can bet as little as 1 cent all the way up to $112.50 to spin the reels. With the maximum bet, $46,000 in the base game and all the way up to $92,000 in Free Spins mode could be yours!
One of the top casinos to play Microgaming slots is at 2010 Jackpot Finder Awards winner - All Jackpots Casino. Every new member will be presented with a 100% Max. $200 first deposit bonus to enjoy Retro Reels - Extreme Heat slot along with more than 400 other online casino games.

There's a lot going on in the mutual fund world, and if you miss something, it could end up costing you money. To keep you up-to-date and on top of things, below we scope out some of the recent happenings in the mutual fund industry during the past week and how they may affect your portfolio.
Berkowitz makes a move
Superstar manager Bruce Berkowitz of the Fairholme Fund (FAIRX) has been making a few changes to his portfolio, according to the fund's recently released annual report. In the second half of 2009, Berkowitz "materially disposed" of health-care names Pfizer
It's not a complete surprise that Berkowitz has sold down his former top holding, Pfizer. While the stock still sports a decent free cash flow yield, that yield has fallen significantly from a year or so ago, when it was approaching 20%. That means it's less of a bargain for Berkowitz, and so he's cutting back his exposure.
But despite this move, health care still makes up the second-largest sector holding in the fund. I think this is a smart move, as this sector represents one of the greatest opportunities for 2010. Health-care spending grew last year, even as the economy contracted, and given the continued aging of our population, that spending will continue to grow and grow at a faster rate. While that will put a fiscal squeeze on the government and on all Americans, it spells fat profits for much of the health-care industry.
To offset these reductions, Berkowitz initiated new positions in battered financial Citigroup
Triple threat
If you just couldn't get enough gambling in during your last trip to Las Vegas, never fear. ProShares is here with eight new ways for you to get your fix. The world's largest purveyor of leveraged and inverse funds recently announced its launch of eight new ProShares exchange-traded funds. Four of these funds will provide 300% the daily return of the Nasdaq 100 Index, Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 400 Mid-Cap Index, and Russell 2000 Index. The other four funds will provide 300% of the inverse of the daily return for those indexes.
While these funds may seem like an easy way to leverage your bets on the short-term direction of the stock market, investors should view these investments with a very wary eye. Because these funds track the daily return of each of these indices, that means your returns or losses could be meaningfully different from the target return over longer periods, thanks to the compounding effect of daily returns. That equals more volatility and risk on top of an already risky triple-leveraging approach.
Call this what it is -- gambling, not investing. There may be a few super-smart traders who can utilize these funds without getting burned, but most investors are just asking for trouble by dipping their toes in the water here. Play it safe and stick to regular, boring ETFs.
The incredible shrinking mutual fund industry
It's been a rough few years for the global economy as a whole, and the mutual fund industry hasn't been immune from its terrible effects. According to Morningstar data, there are currently 6,814 distinct share classes of open-end mutual funds. Believe it or not, that's a drop of 241 from last year, which is the biggest one-year plunge since 2001 when 390 funds bit the dust. There were only 323 funds launched during 2009, the second lowest number in the past decade. 261 funds were merged with other mutual funds last year, the highest such number since 2001. That leaves over 300 funds that closed up shop thanks to challenging market conditions.
These numbers point out one of the more pernicious effects of long-term investing in the mutual fund world -- survivorship bias. Over the long-run, badly managed or poorly performing funds tend to disappear. So the funds you see now are only those who have managed to, at the least, keep afloat for a certain time period. Losing funds simply disappear from the radar. That artificially inflates the track record of all mutual funds as whole over the long run.
All of this makes identifying mutual funds that actually outperform over the long-run much trickier and more difficult than it seems. With so many duds out there, it's a real chore to find the few good funds that actually beat the market year after year, rather than ending up with an underperforming investment that may be liquidated out of existence in a few years anyway!

1. No matter where you are going, you will not get there on time. Face it. You will be late. Plan accordingly.
2. If you are flying into any airport in the NYC area you will be really late. This is unavoidable. Especially since the weather in the NY/NJ area is so incredibly miserable from October-April.
3. Everyone else in the world is traveling, so don't act like you are the only one. We are all suffering. Put on your big person clothes on and be cordial.
4. Major highways will be an absolute logjam the day after Thanksgiving, and the Sunday after it. As a college student I have made numerous trips from the Northeast southbound on I-95. The earlier you can leave, the better. Logjamming will take place at approximately 7 am.
5. College students will be clearly visible. As a recent college grad I can clearly spot college students. They will be wearing a hooded sweatshirt representing their school, texting on an iPhone/Android smartphone, listening to music loudly as to drown out everyone.
6. I know that bag fees are inconvenient, but please do not bring an enormous duffle bag planning to carry it on during the holiday season. You are going to be asked to check it at the gate. *See #3 Don't freak out when they ask you to check it.
7. When scheduling connecting flights have at least an hour and thirty minutes layover. You are going to need it. Place more emphasis on this when connecting at major airports like Chicago, JFK, Detroit, DFW, LAX, etc.
8. Prepare yourself to go through security before you get in line. Put your wallet, phone, watch, keys, and any other doodads on your person into your carry on before you get to the line. It makes the process so much easier on everyone if you don't have to do the TSA shuffle.
9. Always take peanuts or pretzels as your in flight snack. The cookies that they give you are disgusting.
10. Find your happy place. Accept your role as Odysseus and mentally prepare yourself for the Odyssey of holiday travel. When flying bring a good book. If you are driving make a really long new playlist full of great new tunes. The little conveniences will make all of the difference.

World Premiere at Windsor SymphonyPublished in Miami News
The beginning of the 70th season of the Windsor Symphony was studded with several sparkling highlights including its opening selection, the world premiere of Fallen by composer Jordan Pal.
After a warm introduction to the new season by Windsor mayor Drew Dilkens, conductor Robert Franz led the symphony into the short ode Fallen, one of the compositions commissioned by the government to celebrate Canada's 150th birthday. Fallen will have its premiere with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra on Remembrance Day, Nov. 11, 2017.
As its title implies, it is about fallen soldiers. Its title derives from the final stanza of Canadian Master Corporal Charles Matiru's poem Dark Shadow. He was an Afghan vet who died recently due to PTSD. The ode is deliberately unpleasant, a mixture of chaos and frenetic passages intended to give us a glimpse into the soul of those suffering from the psychological wounds of war. In its resemblance to a film score, it tries to evoke emotion in the listener. It has a sincerity to it, which is tough to do in a postmodern society.
A world away from this is the Brahms composition Variations on a Theme of Joseph Haydn, which was delivered in a unique way. Instead of just offering us the music, each of the variations ranging from pastoral to scherzo was introduced by a poetic excerpt. The contributing poets, including Windsor poet laureate Marty Gervais, were in the audience, while their poems were faultlessly read by a young man and woman on stage.
If one regards a frame as part of the picture, the poems were expressing the idea that musical compositions do not end on their final note. It was both a delightful way to breathe new life into a piece over 200 years old, and a daring choice as it could easily have fallen into an unwelcome pastiche. It was a nice way to make a piece that's not Canadian a way to celebrate Canada, and the inclusion of Windsor-based poetry is a nod to the city's 125th anniversary this year.
There was an especially good connection between Variation 5, a sprightly piece where the violins literally dance which was likened poetically to Walkerville by Gervais, which conjures up a famous bicycle race in that part of Windsor in 1896. Variation 7, a stately composition suitable for a river cruise, was paired with a few lines from the poem Windsor by Carlinda D'Alimonte. "I relax into the space, in the small steps I can take."
Other poems talked about Al Capone and rum running (a well known local pasttime in the 1920s), "a cannonball that won nothing for nobody", and by Peter Hrastovec "there is an art in everything and in everything a reason." My favourite was paired with Variation 8: "History is a fable unless you tell it honestly," from South Windsor by Vanessa Shields. Other poets included in the Variations music-poem combo were Mary Ann Mulhern, Dorothy Mahoney and D.A. Lockhart.
The second half of the programme featured a flawless performance of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, complete with the Windsor Classic Chorale and University of Windsor Chamber Choir. Combined with the symphony, the stage held some 350 performers, including four guest soloists: Marjorie Maltais (alto), Ryan Downey (tenor), Margie Bernal (soprano) and in one of the choicest roles for a bass singer, Reginald Smith.
Instead of going for a punch to the jaw early in the performance, conductor Franz wisely saved it for the ending. While he held back, he added just enough emphasis to titillate the musical taste buds. It is sometimes good to show restraint! In the end, the assembled performers knocked it out of the park, to borrow a sports analogy, no mean feat in a venue originally designed as a cinema.
For a finale with several children's choirs standing along the side and in the aisles, the audience was treated to a rousing rendition of Canada This Is My Home. With the instrument plus vocal power boosted to more than 400 in a venue that only seats 640, it was truly an impressive way to begin the 70th season.

The next performance of the symphony, the music of Star Wars on Sept. 30, is already sold out.

Jane Eyre: Leaves Glinting in the SunPublished in Theatre
"You must not expect anything celestial of me!" Jane Eyre declares to Mr. Rochester, the man who loves her. Rochester, undaunted by Jane's multiple efforts to break away from him, declares "Your sternness has a power beyond beauty."
In this retelling of Charlotte Bronte's novel Jane Eyre, the audience is presented with original dialogue from the iconic book, and a twist to the tale of the repression of the natural passions and desires of women. Directed by Brian Taylor, the 1995 play is being offered by the University Players at the University of Windsor.
When it was published in 1847 the book was derided as anti-Christian, and certainly much of the tendentious dialogue in the play (from Jane's schoolmaster, and later her suitor, a messianic clergyman [both strikingly portrayed by Averey Meloche]) puts Christianity in a bad light. But that is not the focus of British playwright Polly Teale. In an article she wrote in 2005, Teale identified that focus: "Everything in the novel is seen through the magnifying glass of Jane's psyche. But if this is a psychological drama with Jane at its centre, why did Brontë invent a mad woman, Bertha, Rochester's first wife, locked in an attic to torment her heroine? Why is this rational young woman haunted by a raving, vengeful she-devil?"
In this play, the virtuous but stern Jane is played with gusto by Lauren Fields. Her inner self is played by Alicia Plummer; confusingly, she also portrays Bertha in this production. I say confusingly because some patrons were unclear how to distinguish the raging "inner self" persona and the raging "crazy wife" character. Are they in fact psychologically linked in the mind of Charlotte Bronte? Having the same actress portray both certainly invites this synergistic relationship, which was intentional.
This is not to detract from the overall production, which achieves an entirely professional level of presentation. The minimalist set (by David Leugs), with its strong geometrical lines, experience a resonance with the single musical instrument that makes an occasional appearance on stage. The handsome Cole Reed as Rochester delivers an entirely believable performance. "He is not a ghost but every nerve I have is unstrung." Jane's reaction to him does not strain credulity because of his bravura showing.
For some in the audience, a dog stole the show! Rochester's dog was so well delineated by Meloche that I overheard one person saying "I've seen everything now!" Someone else regarded the pooch as the high point of the play. His scampering across the stage, and playing with an imaginary ball, offered some much-needed comic relief.
Other actors, who gave the play just the right balance and texture, are Jacob Free, Taylor Brimner, Xanath Fuentes and Eva Flores. I must also mention, Agatha Knelsen, whose costumes were period perfection. The play is performed in the theatre in Essex Hall at the University of Windsor; it was just upgraded including a new stage floor which makes its debut with this production.
Jane Eyre runs through Oct. 1, 2017. Visit their website: http://www.universityplayers.com
Cruising the Detroit RiverPublished in Miami News
Tourism in Windsor, Ontario is focused along the riverfront, and there is no better way to get acquainted with it than a cruise along the river in the Macassa Bay cruise ship. Leaving from its dock right in front of Caesar's Casino, it offers a variety of cruises including a 2-hour trip along the Detroit River that I enjoyed on a sunny Labour Day Weekend.
In the lead photo, just above the prow of the passing pleasure boat, is a U.S. National Historic Landmark. Built in 1902 as an industrial research lab for Park-Davis, it is now a hotel. Its Romanesque Revival style is quite striking, but it has a counterpart on the Canadian side.
The cruise begins by heading east in Canadian waters. One of the first sights is a Romanesque-style church near the Hiram Walker distillery, world famous for its whisky. The running commentary aboard the ship tells the tale that the Holy Rosary church (pictured here) has a lurid past. The cross between the steeples can be lit up, and it was used during Prohibition to signal rum runners that the coast was clear to smuggle liquor across the river to Detroit. Al Capone reputedly donated the cross to the church! Its days as a church ended in 2007; it is now an event centre.
After making its turn to the west, the Macassa Bay (built in Hamilton in 1986) gets quite close to Belle Isle, the largest city-owned park in the U.S. Several sites are clearly visible including a very large fountain, 510 feet in diameter with a spray that can reach 125 feet. It was completed in 1925, when times were good, before the Depression. Also visible is the Coast Guard station, a maritime musuem, the old dance hall (called a casino), and the Carillon clock (pictured here). It is an 85-foot tower in neo-Gothic style, opened in 1940. The layout of Belle Isle was designed by Frederick Olmsted, whose most famous creation is New York City's Central Park.
The cruise offers a superb close-up view of downtown Detroit before passing under the Ambassador Bridge, where it turns back west for a scenic look at the sculptures along Windsor's Riverwalk. These will be familiar to anyone in Windsor, but seeing them from the river side offers a whole new perspective of this delightful outdoor sculpture garden.
Visitors on the cruise can choose to stay inside, shielded from the elements (weather sun or rain), or be outside on one of 2 decks. Quite a few chairs and tables are provided on both decks for those who prefer to remain seated.

Te – Amo Revolution Cigar.
Size: 5 1/4 x 56
Wrapper: San Andres Habano
Binder: San Andres Corojo
Filler: Nicaraguan, San Andres Negro, San Andres Corojo
Strength: Medium
Body: Full
Flavor: Full
This was a cigar which surprised me in a good way. Apart from it being rather rectangle in shape which helped holding the cigar in your hand or in mouth it was a pleasant smoke for a Te – Amo . The Band of cigar is somewhat funky and modern with just one word on it Revolution nothing on the cigar referring to Te-Amo at all. The wrapper is a medium brown with moderate veins and not much oil to it. The wrapper of the Te- Amo Revolution has notes of spice, wood, and grass. The foot has a scent which is a blend of spices, grass, and a very light floral tone. it does also produce a cool smoke. So once you have the foot off the cigar you do get a nice draw with plentiful smoke, the spices do warm up the palate a bit and you get that flavor of cedar working as well. The ash holds well and the cigar does burn razor sharp which again surprised me . Coming down in to the cigar the ash does become flaky but still has a nice even burn and no correction is required. Some earthiness has joined the profile of the spices and cedar however on the whole it's very much still the same profile. The last part of the cigar we have hit a peppery note, the sweetness is out of there but the earthiness and the spices remain. The ash firms up during this third, the burn is sharp, and the draw still provides a nice full body of smoke. The Te-Amo Revolution smokes cool to the nub with consistent flavor. Considering I am not a Te – Amo fan I pleasantly enjoyed this cigar, an easy going cigar with no work required to keep it burning and the various profile changes in the stick kept it interesting to the nub.
Te – Amo No 4
The Te – Amo is all Mexican, Wrapper, binder and Filler so you could call it a Puro if you wanted too. This cigar is normally what harsh, good way to over come this is ask how long it´s been sitting in the humidor for ,otherwise leave it yourself in a humidor and it will cut the edge off a little. There is a nice strong outdoor woodsy odor that compliments the thick gray smoke. The taste calmed down from harsh to spicy, like mild chilies. The draw on it is somewhat firm but that is ok . What I am not going to do is start having a tantrum over this stick, it is a budget cigar and deserves to be on the top 10 under $2 list. I will however have my rant about the label which is glued onto the cigar , it´s almost ripped the binder off. Wither it be a cheap or expensive cigar there is no excuse no these sort bands. The Cigar smokes in at round 40 minutes I don´t suggest you smoke it to far down after the band , it sort of drifts into a nasty taste.
sweet smokes

Social Studies Teacher Advancement Program: TAP Carson's teachers have a great opportunity to enhance their professional skills with the TAP program. The Teacher Advancement Program is provided by the Milken Foundation and ASU. Teachers meet once a week for an hour to learn, plan, and share with other teachers so they can constantly improve the quality of their instruction. This in turn helps students to learn more effectively and efficiently. Teachers learn new instructional strategies or refine already great teaching. Students benefit from learning strategies that are research based and customized to their needs. Carson JHS and Kino JHS are the only two Junior High Schools in Mesa implementing this program during the next three years. At Carson we have already seen improved student achievement scores. Just take a look at the long list of Honor Roll students during the first quarter! And we are looking forward to showcasing more of our students' successes in the coming months. Thanks to all the teachers who are working very hard to bring the best possible lessons to all students every day.

Baseball players at Bishop Luers High School made threats via Snapchat, a social media tool, to shoot teachers and the bishop, according to police records.
Stephanie Patka, spokeswoman for the Fort Wayne-South Bend Diocese, told The Journal Gazette the diocese does not comment on these types of internal matters.�
"In this case, this is an internal disciplinary issue," Patka said.
No one has been arrested in connection with the threats, Fort Wayne police said Tuesday.
The threats were reported Feb. 6 to Fort Wayne police officers by a father who said the group talking about the threats were baseball players. Police responded to a home in the 1700 block of Lindenwood Drive around 3 p.m. to view the threats on Snapchat.
The string took place the night before in which someone was upset that his sweatshirt was taken and another student stated that he would shoot up the school.
"When asked who they would target they stated (the bishop and teachers) with extra points for the Bishop's hat," the police report states.�
Actual names of the Snapchat participants were redacted from the police report.
Two people in the string mentioned shooting up the school.
"Throughout the conversation, it appeared as if the statements were just boys being boys, however they went on to make crude comments about a previous student that was killed by domestic violence that the school has a program in place to honor. These statements were that he should have raped her, too, and they were surprised she wasn't cut up and lastly that she must have done something to deserve it," the police report read.
Police called the school principal to tell him about the threats and that police would arrive to show the Snapchat string to the school's administration, the report said.
The principal assured police that proactive measures would take place.�
Ashley Sloboda contributed to this report.

The most sacred relation in human civilisation where two individual reciprocal entities make their life long bonds through social approval and presence. Actually, based on this premise society and civilisation survives. Underestimating or ignoring this important condition nowadays caused many problems resulting social instability.

Almost all members of the family clan are invited not only for a day but for several days, as the married females have to be involved in different stree aachar.
In all those occasions Mistanna plays an inseparable part, changing its shape and form. In this display, we have chosen few of the traditional sweets those are made for the different occasions.

Living Well
A Big Spender in the Family
My sister gives expensive clothing and other things to me as gifts. I see the same or similar items online for much less then the prices she paid. She likes certain brand names, stores and websites that are associated with luxury. I'm a middle class person, and so is my sister. I don't want her paying any more for gifts than is necessary. She has always been a spendthrift, and I have always been a bargain hunter. Is there a polite way I can tell her that when buying gifts for me, she doesn't need to shop for luxury brands at luxury stores and websites?
—S.B. in Towson, Maryland
If your sister buys these gifts mainly on common gift-giving occasions, such as birthdays, Christmas, etc., I don't think you should say a thing! Many gift-givers enjoy giving items that they know the recipients would never spend the money to buy for themselves. For example, one might give a box of expensive chocolates to a person who wouldn't dream of buying candy anywhere but a grocery store.

The aesthetic value should correspond to ergonomic desk functionality and power features as well. Specifically, vehicular electronic components and parts will give more challenges to automotive designers who must update on the latest information and knowledge associated with emerging vehicular gadgetry, particularly dashtop mobile devices, like GPS navigation, satellite radio, HD radio, mobile TV, MP3 players, video playback, and smartphone interfaces. Though not all the new vehicular gadgets are to be chosen as factory standard items, some of them might be integral to deciding the future course of any specific vehicular models.
Exterior design
The stylist responsible for the design of the exterior of the vehicle develops the proportions, shape, and floors of the automobile. External design is first done by a series of digital or manual drawings. Progressively, drawings that are more descriptive are executed and approved by appropriate layers of management. Clay (industrial plasticine) and or digital models are developed from, and along with the drawings. The data from these models are then used to make a full measured mock-up of the final design (body in white). With three- and five-axis CNC milling machines, the clay model is first designed in a pc program and then "carved" using the device and huge amounts of clay. Even in times of high-class 3d software and online models on electricity walls, the clay model is still the main tool to evaluate the look of an automobile and therefore used throughout the industry.
Interior design
The stylist responsible for the design of the automobile interior develops the proportions, form, placement, and surfaces for the instrument panel, car seats, door trim panels, headliner, pillar trims, etc. Here the emphasis is on ergonomics and the comfort of the individuals. The procedure here is the same as with outside design (sketch, digital model and clay model).

…it's like when they say that the rules are always meant to be broken…do we take Oaths just to go against them in the end? Every FORCE-related site I have ever come across has asked for some sort of Oath that makes you submit to their cause, their specific way of life, their motto, or whatever that may be.
At the Sith Academy, you were made to take an Oath and then say the Mantra. When becoming a Master, there was a new Oath with the old Mantra, and when swearing in as a Lord, there was a brand-new Oath, and then the same old Mantra. Again, if you took an a new Apprentice, it was the same deal. Same with Temple-of-the-Sith-Order (TOTSO). There is an Oath, there will be a Mantra; and while the Oath is not as restricting as others I have seen and/or have taken, these things just seem to put me at an unease.
Even today I was signing into Temple-of-the-Jedi-Order (TOTJO) I decided that I wanted to have full-teachings and full-access to their resources, so, I decided to fill out the Jedi-Application Form and guess what? There was an Oath involved. Granted, in my application, I told them where I currently was on my path right now. I told them that I was a neutral aspect of The Force that had experience in Sithism and considered myself a Shadow-Jedi. I also told them that while all the above was true, I also mentioned in my application that I was of a chaotic-good nature and would oftentimes make decisions based off of what I thought was best in a situation.
Sure…they may not always agree morally with the decisions I have made, but the Oath merely stated that I live the life worthy of a Jedi and make good decisions, and, by making the decisions that I think is right and justified, then I think that falls into those same lines of the Oath. But, I said that if it was necessary that I could take a revised Oath or something along those lines and/or that nature.
I just really want to get back on my Path…I know that my new job has be busier than ever, and my relationship will always come before religious progress and growth, but even still, I need a motivation, I want to be ambitious about this like I was so long ago (it was only a year, but it still feels like forever). I am thinking about going back to my old routine where I just do small exercises each day, and then end the day with a shower and a 30-minute meditation. If I can just gear myself up for the small things like this, then I believe that I can get back on track for obtaining Jedi-Knighthood and also progressing elsewhere as well.
Still…the thing about the Oaths just bothered me and really got me to thinking about how many times I have had to break an Oath because something came up, life happened, and I had to step over those lines that were spoken aloud so that I could get things done and take care of myself. Some Oaths I do not care about breaking…others cost me dearly. Still, this is something we should all think about when making that sort of verbal and/or written commitment. What are you really saying, signing, or typing? What do you really promise to abide by and what exceptions are there to whatever rule?
What are Oaths truly necessary? I was planning on writing more…but I have been losing a lot of sleep lately and it is catching up with me. There should be more posts tomorrow as I start exercise 3 at TOTJO and plan to do an assignment with TOTSO and IJRS as well.
Until next time…Chao~!!

The Great Mystery of the Gospel is God's pleasure to display God's wisdom through the Church. The concept of Church is a revolutionary theological concept. It unites the people of God and God of their worship more intimately than in any other religion. We are not simply serving God, we are representing God. God brings the "rulers and authorities" under His rule through the church.
The church displays God's wisdom by living out the mystery of the gospel. The mystery of the gospel is the unity of the Jews and Gentiles.
Roman Empire could not unite the people. The church did. It proved the greater power. But that unity comes with suffering. Paul was suffering precisely for his work for that unity. But that is part of the work of the church so Paul encourages the people in Ephesus to "not lose heart."
1-What is one of your favorite mystery show/book? What made it enjoyable?
2-When did you see a Church put on display God's Wisdom? What did the Church do?
3-What do you see the Church of NewLife doing in three years?
Prayer:"Lord, help us to be your Church"
