Theiya Collection
Thanks to her grandfather who was Greek, Eugenie Niarchos has what she calls "Spartan blood." No wonder then that Greek mythology is a common thread that runs through her work. The idea is most evident in her 'Theiya' collection, which takes its cues from Theia, a Titaness from Greek mythology, who was the mother of light. The angular shapes in the line take inspiration from the cosmos, and act as a showcase for otherworldly-looking stones.

The day after Kellyanne Conway stepped up to the microphone and suggested that there were "alternate facts" regarding crowd size at the President Trump's inauguration, Penguin Books launched a 75,000-copy reprinting of "1984" by George Orwell. The book shot up to number one on Amazon. All over the country, people rummaged through basements looking for copies of the book they had stored away back in the day.
That particular turn of phrase, "alternate facts," triggered a visceral memory in millions of people who read the novel over the last 70 years. Certain scenes are etched in the mind: The horrific rat cage torture. Room 101. Posters of Big Brother proclaiming the three guiding principles of the regime: War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength.
Today Big Brother seems like a terrible cliché until you realize that Orwell invented him when he wrote the book. He envisioned a time when the world would be divided into three super states, constantly at war, and one of the states, Oceania, would exist under the savage rule of Big Brother and his loyal minions in The Party.
I read the book as a teenager, and I read it again two weeks ago. Let me tell you, in the age of Trump, it isn't your grandma's "1984." When I read it as a kid, I experienced the book as a futuristic horror story. It was far removed from any reality I could imagine.
Orwell, however, had lived through two world wars and the emergence of Stalin. He saw a real threat in governments that would curtail personal freedom, challenge objective truths, scapegoat minorities and elevate despots to positions of absolute power.
He came by his dystopian world view the old-fashioned way: He lived through cataclysmic social upheavals. He fought and was wounded in the Spanish Civil War. He wrote the book while living in isolation on Jura, a remote island off Scotland. It was the coldest winter in Britain's history. He was dying of tuberculosis. How could he not write a dystopian novel?
I, on the other hand, had no memories of WWII, and I came of age in the Camelot years. How could I possibly take seriously a book that imagined torturing someone to the degree that he would not only say that 2 plus 2 equals 5, but would come to believe it because Big Brother said so? How could I envision a time when a government would control not only actions, but also thoughts? And how could I foresee 2018 when the imaginary "telescreen" created by Orwell sits on everyone's desk in the form of computers and webcams and Alexa and spy cams? Orwell's telescreen spied on people in their apartments, watched everything they did, analyzed their facial expressions and observed them as they slept. It sounds like something National Security Agency officials would covet, unless they have it already.
As reviewer Ron Charles wrote in a recent essay in The Washington Post, in "1984," Orwell was describing the basic tendency of leaders and governments to cement their authority by whatever means they deem appropriate. Dictators and tyrants believe any means are OK, so they attack the free press, demonize political enemies (Democrats as traitors for not applauding the State of the Union address), co-opt competing branches of government (attacks on the FBI and CIA), and sow chaos and instability.
Orwell ties the rise of dictatorships to a degradation of language, a banishing of literature and art and the introduction of words and phrases favored by the regime. "Fake news," anyone? "Lock her up?"
One of the main themes of "1984" is that personal freedom and political liberty are inextricably tied to reading and writing. In the world of Big Brother, where books are banned, all writing is censored and free speech is forbidden. The hero's fatal act of rebellion is to buy a diary and begin writing in it. All that follows comes from the moment he put a pen to paper.
We never read the same book twice, even when we reread it. I came away from my recent experience with "1984" with three new realizations:
• The cries of alarm over Trump's threat to democracy are valid, and the resistance must be unrelenting.
• We had better learn from our mistakes. Many brushed off the possibility of a buffoon winning the election that we let our guard down.
• Every one of us can stand up for personal freedom by speaking truth to power and taking pen to paper. We can stand up for political freedom by voting and encouraging others to vote.
The right to vote never seemed as precious as it does today. If you need convincing, pick up a copy of "1984." As Ron Charles said, "President Trump may not be a big reader, but he's been a boon for sales of dystopian literature."

A very catty new year to everyone from my Chief of Staff, The Master and, of course, ME, Sir Georg!
Since I last wrote, all has not been well in the cul-de-sac. Poor Maurice, as per my last post, has met with a very sad fate under the wheels of a speeding car (which didn't even stop after hitting him). Arthur, King of the Close, has also left us, succumbing to kidney failure at a ripe old cat-age. We miss them terribly. My girlfriend, Scarlett, is still very much alive and purring, though, and has a lovely way of zooming out towards you from all sorts of unexpected points on the street. The other good news is that since June, I have won all my fights, emerging unscathed (if fluffed up) on every occasion. A sobering thought: with Maurice and Arthur gone, I am now Senior Cat of the Neighbourhood. This is a Very Big Responsibility.
Meanwhile it's almost too cold to go out for longer than is absolutely necessary, so here is a lovely video from The Guardian about stock-taking at London Zoo. Fabulous film of the penguins and some close relations of Aleksandr Orlov. Enjoy!

Hungarian top court overturns disputed church law
Hungary's top court has struck down parts of the country's law on churches, saying that the process by which only Parliament can grant churches official status is too political and lacks transparency.
Last year Hungarian lawmakers cut the number of officially recognized churches -which, among other advantages, enjoy tax-free status, qualify for government support and may collect donations - from around 370 to 32.
Tuesday's ruling by the Constitutional Court repealed the law and called on Parliament to work out new rules to weed out groups which declare themselves to be churches but do not carry out religious activities.
The court said the current procedure was unconstitutional because, for example, the lawmakers' decision could not be appealed and no written justification was provided.

It is a delight in this new year to read my dear friend kiki's encouraging comments to a "newbie" and to read your personal observations. I had an almost identical experience in my personal apiritual path to kiki's. He helped me through my first kensho, and I was very busy on this forum, for two years, mainly responding to other's discoveries - and this was just the very busy integration of my egoic identity (fragile and ephemeral as it is) with my new "Self."Nothing is the same as before, still nothing has changed.
It is ok to stop discounting and attacking what you perceive to be your "ego." Self-love is self-love also. Please understand that every element of your egoic identity was a natural development of your genetic, family, academic and experiential conditioning. There is no blame to any of it. None. None at all. Pure innocence. And whatever of it remains is also ok (and trust me, your personality will remain forever, perhaps slightly tempered, but not radically changed).
It is very ok to think about the future. You will need to eat in the future. And you will need to pay taxes. Your "thinking" will slowly be informed by your experience in Presence. There is no way to "push it," but you can revisit the well in stillness. It is the quiet experience of simple Being that slowly transforms your life (and your thinking.)
Some of your old destructive habits may be worth bringing into Presence. Say you had a gambling habit, and you feel an urge to go to the casino. Stop for a moment and just be with that urge totally. Allowing the "old stuff" to sit in the crucible of Presence has a way of de-energizing it and its influence. And Byron Katie's "the work" is a useful cognitive tool for examining some fixations. (http://thework.com/en)
Be well and very accepting of whoever you perceive that "you are" -- because now you know that who you really are is huge, powerful, and loving.

The company has filed a statement of claim in the Ontario Superior Court against Esther Wrightman, a Middlesex County anti-wind activist.
The claim said: "The offending material is deliberately used to adversely affect NextEra's reputation and goodwill in the community, to generate opposition to NextEra's projects and to other clean energy projects in Ontario and to increase the amounts of donations obtained through the websites."
The allegations have not been proven in court.
The suit does not ask for specific damages, but NextEra said it will donate any court award to homelessness charity United Way of Canada.
In her statement of defence, posted online, Wrightman says local residents were using the terms "NextTerror" and "NextError" before the first graphic was ever posted, and considers the use of the images fair comment.

How Popular Is the Hunger Games?
A quick search* in social media data shows that "Hunger Games" is increasing rapidly in popularity, largely in response to the movie. Hype has been high, especially as the actors of the film have been touring the country in preparation for the films premier.
- 11/14: First Movie Trailer
- 2/2: New Movie Trailer
- 3/9: Red Carpet Premier/Mall Tour
Hundreds of Hunger Games fans gathered in the parking lot outside the Microsoft store in University Village on Saturday March 10, 2012. The actors coming to Seattle were the main stars Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth, and Josh Hutcherson, who portray characters Katniss Everdeen, Gale Hawthorne, and Peeta Mellark. Seattle was the final stop of the Hunger Games Mall Tour, a promotion for the Hunger Games movie, which comes out in theatres on March 23rd.
I just finished reading The Hunger Games series about two weeks ago, so when I heard that the cast was coming to University Village, I decided to go down and take some pictures. Fans could show up as early as 7:00am. The first 100 people in line would have a chance to meet the actors from the film. But at 3:30 there was to be a public Q&A in the parking lot. I went for the Q&A, arriving around 3:00pm.
When I got there, the place was already packed. I parked off site and hoofed it to the Microsoft store, where I could already hear a crowd of hundreds, mostly teens, cheering wildly from several blocks away. When the cast of the Hunger Games movie actually arrived, Seattle fans screamed so loudly and for so long that they couldn't begin the Q&A for several minutes. At one point, Josh Hutcherson remarked that Seattle fans were the loudest of any stop on the tour.
The Q&A lasted about 15-20 minutes. Liam, Jennifer, and Josh seemed fairly comfortable in front of the crowd and answered questions casually. The questions were pre-selected and read aloud. Some were about the Hunger Games story and insight into playing the roles of the characters. Others were about the actors–their experiences, feelings and ambitions. The crowd was screaming throughout so it was sometimes difficult to hear, and I was standing far enough back that it is difficult to make out the individual speakers. Josh, who plays Peeta, was a clear fan favorite and talked the most of the three, followed by Jennifer. Toward the end of the Q&A, Jennifer remarked that the crowd seemed more interested in screaming than continuing the Q&A. The cast made their exit soon after, to the disappointment of a very excited fan base.
Haymitch is Liam's favorite character
Jennifer empathizes with Katniss's tough decision between Peeta and Gale (because they're both hot).
Josh thinks Katniss should choose Gale/Liam has attractive eyes
Josh really connects with Peeta's beliefs and values
Liam doesn't have a prom date, but he can't go to any proms in Issaquah because of his schedule
Jennifer doesn't get asked to proms as much as Josh, but she did get asked by this crowd
Jennifer can really shoot a bow and arrow
Josh can't go to prom with Carly in Sammamish
Josh wasn't a big fan of having blonde hair, but respects that that is Peeta. He had to have it bleached because dyes didn't work
Liam would build houses if he wasn't acting (I think this was Liam)
Jennifer had no idea how to answer the question of what she would do if she wasn't acting. When she was a kid, she used to pretend to be a travel agent
Josh likes playing basketball and soccer (and crochet?). He also likes wildlife/life sciences but wasn't interested in going to college that long because "it's a lot of work."
Josh almost did some rapping, but insisted those days are behind him
Josh and Liam were going to make their own dubstep at one point; they bought equipment at Guitar Center but only used it three times.
Josh's fads (slingshots, bb guns) have gotten the group in trouble in hotels
So What Is The Hunger Games? [no spoilers]
The Hunger Games is the first book in a three book series by Suzanne Collins. The story is set in a future dystopia called Panem, located somewhere in what was once North America. Panem is a nation consisting of a pampered and privileged Capitol city and thirteen subservient districts. 74 years ago, District 13 was firebombed into oblivion for rebellion. Since then the Capitol has demanded annual tribute in the form of one boy and one girl between the ages of 12 and 18 from each of the remaining 12 districts. These tributes compete to the death in a televised competition called The Hunger Games.
The Hunger Games are essentially a combination of Ancient Rome (Gladiator games in the Colosseum) and the dark future of America's reality television. It is similar in some respects to Survivor, one of the first reality TV shows, in that the contestants don't know about the arena where they will have to survive, can form alliances to further their chances, and the more despicable people become the champions more often than not. In the Hunger Games, all the contestants die except for one victor. The Hunger Games are so compelling that the civilization of Panem has come to revolve around it, with interviews and parades of the contestants beforehand and the sole survivor of each Hunger Games afterward becoming a celebrity. The reason it is called The Hunger Games is because the victor's district is gifted with food and other supplies as a reward.
The story is written from the point of view of 16 year old Katniss Everdeen, a citizen of District 12, a coal mining town that is more or less always on the brink of starvation. Katniss volunteers to enter The Hunger Games in place of her younger sister Prim, 12, who was chosen by lottery. Katniss is a hunter of game who makes a living in the woods outside her district. She learned to shoot a bow and arrow from her father, who died tragically in a mining accident, and is the primary provider for her family. She spends most her days in the woods with her best friend and hunting partner Gale Hawthorne, who promises to take care of Katniss's family should she never return from The Hunger Games. Katniss actually stands a chance of surviving, the first tribute from District 12 to possibly pull a victory in many years, but she is naturally distressed by the reality of having to kill the other tributes to win, before they can kill her, all for the amusement of the Capitol. And then she is dumbstruck when the other contestant from District 12 turns out to be Peeta, a kind boy who saved her life, and that of her family, when she was a starving child by giving her bread.
The success of the Hunger Games is similar to that of Harry Potter and Twilight in the sense that the books appeal most to young adults, but have a large fandom of both older and younger readers. The books feature young adult characters, take place in an urban fantasy setting (the world in Hunger Games is not magical, but some of the technology is fantastic) and invoke the oh-so-successful formula of a "potential" romantic triangle in which one girl faces a choice between two boys.
Many fans of the series (though not all; some are vocally not invested in the romance) are heavily involved in whether Katniss loves Peeta or Gale, or should choose Peeta or Gale, or would be better off with Peeta or Gale, which, as events evolve, are very clearly different questions with very different answers at varying points in the series. There is also the question of which boy the fans love and/or would choose if they were Katniss, which drives much of the engagement online and much of the screaming in real life. Anticipation for the movie, with real life actors playing the characters, spurs excitement further, as "Josh or Liam?" adds another dimension to the question.
However, unlike Twilight, this series is not, at its core, a romance. Nor is it a particularly victorious or heroic tale. The characters are broken in many ways by what they endure and the story has a poignant message that emerges as the plot, and the stakes, become more complicated, which has resulted in The Hunger Games being endorsed as material for classroom study and recommended on school reading lists. The conflicts in the series, emotional as well as physical, evoke conversation about the privileged vs. the oppressed, the consequences of broadcasting "reality" as entertainment, the sanity of war, peace, and revolution, the role of propaganda, the corruption of power, the gray area of morals and ethics in situations where human life is fragile and threatened, and the meaning of love, hope, sacrifice, and survival.
Should You Read It?
I loved it, but I supposed it depends on what you like to read. If you like Twilight or Harry Potter you will probably like this. However, the latter books may disappoint some people. Most seem to agree that the first book is the most interesting of the three. The last book, Mockingjay, gets a little tough to take for reasons I can't explain without spoiling it. Still, I really liked all three books, and the story on the whole, and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys a page turner with gritty, thought-provoking material.
The Hunger Games is a story better enjoyed if you don't know what is going to happen so I am glad I finished the series before the movies came out. That being said, I will be interested in seeing the movies. I am curious if the script will stick to the same plot as the book, what they will change, and how they will tell the story. Since the premise of The Hunger Games is that of a reality TV show gone very very wrong, it should (theoretically) translate very easily to the silver screen, but could be spoiled by poor scripting, bad acting, and any number of other things. However, they seem to be taking great care to be faithful to the story and the casting for the characters seems pretty spot on. Here's hoping the movie is really great!

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Senior guard Eric Shrive (Scranton) has been elected president of Penn State's Uplifting Athletes chapter and will lead Nittany Lion football student-athletes in 2013.
Vice president of Penn State's Uplifting Athletes chapter the past two years, Shrive has been a significant contributor in the planning of the chapter's events to benefit the Kidney Cancer Association. The most well-known event for Penn State's Uplifting Athletes chapter is the Penn State Lift for Life, a strength and conditioning challenge among football squad members held each July.
Penn State football teammates joining Shrive as 2013 Uplifting Athletes officers are vice president: senior tackle Adam Gress (West Mifflin, Pa.), head of operations: senior center Ty Howle (Wake Forest, N.C.), secretary: sophomore cornerback Da'Quan Davis (Baltimore) and fundraising chairman: freshman tight end Adam Breneman (Camp Hill).
"I am honored to be elected president and look forward to another successful year with Uplifting Athletes and helping raise awareness for rare diseases," Shrive said.
Shrive recently was named one of seven finalists for the 2013 Uplifting Athletes Rare Disease Champion Award. He has raised nearly $70,000 for the Kidney Cancer Association during his Penn State career. The honor is presented annually to recognize a leader in the world of college football who has realized his or her potential to make a positive and lasting impact on the rare disease community. More than 30 million Americans are affected by rare diseases.
Fans can vote through Jan. 31 to determine this year's Rare Disease Champion at www.upliftingathletes.org/vote.
During the 10 years of the Penn State Lift For Life, members of the Nittany Lion football team have raised in excess of $700,000 for the Kidney Cancer Association, including a record $110,374.00 in 2012.
Led by first-year coach Bill O'Brien, the Bear Bryant, Maxwell Football Club and ESPN Coach of the Year, the Nittany Lions posted an 8-4 overall mark and finished second in the Big Ten Leaders Division with a 6-2 record last season. Penn State won eight of its final 10 games. In the season finale, the Nittany Lions beat eventual Big Ten champion Wisconsin, 24-21, in overtime.
Season tickets are available for the 2013 season. The Nittany Lions will host three teams that finished in the 2012 BCS Top 25: Michigan (Oct. 12-Homecoming), Nebraska (Nov. 23) and Kent State (Sept. 21). Purdue, Illinois, Virginia and Eastern Michigan also will visit Beaver Stadium next year. The Nittany Lions open the season Aug. 31 vs. Syracuse at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J.
For information on joining the Nittany Lion Club and purchasing season tickets, as well as club seating in Beaver Stadium, go to www.GoPSUsports.com or call 800-648-8269 (800-NITTANY) from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays.
Penn State Athletics is on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/pennstatenittanylions) and Twitter (http://www.gopsusports.com/ot/twitter.html).
Uplifting Athletes is a full-service national nonprofit organization aligning college football with rare diseases and raising them as a national priority through research, outreach, education and advocacy. What makes Uplifting Athletes unique is that our university chapters are run by current football student-athletes, providing them with an opportunity to gain management and leadership skills while learning how to leverage their assets and abilities to make a positive and lasting impact. Current Chapters have been formed at Nebraska, Penn State, Ohio State, Kent State, North Carolina State, Fordham, St. Francis, Notre Dame, Maryland, Illinois, Northwestern, Princeton and Colgate. Each chapter adopts one out of approximately 7,000 rare diseases, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, aplastic anemia, Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease, cystic fibrosis, Ehlers-Danlos, Ewing's sarcoma, kidney cancer, leukemia, multiple sclerosis, Neimann Pick Type-C, neuroblastoma and pancreatic cancer.

Happy New Year Scholars!
This month I thought it would be a great time to discuss professional development. Specifically, presenting at and attending conferences. My first conference experience was when I went to Birmingham, AL to present at the Southern Association for Counselor Education and Supervision. I had been invited to present with a mentor of mine (and fellow Holmes Scholar--now Holmes Scholar Alum) who allowed me to present with her to gain experience. I was overwhelmed, nervous, scared, and my impostor syndrome was through the roof. However, I was exposed to what professional research presentations looked like from the presenter's perspective and I gained a sense of confidence in myself as a researcher and as a professional.
Have you presented at a conference yet? How was that experience for you? What are some things you'd like to share with Scholars who have not yet presented their research? If you are a Scholar that has not yet presented, what are some of your questions about presenting research?
Further, whether you have presented or have not yet presented your research at a conference, use the Holmes Scholars Research Poster Session as a venue through which you can gain experience presenting your research and receiving feedback on your scholarly activity! Proposals are due January 13th at 5pm. Follow this link to complete the proposal!

There was sudden change from the ponderous infantry of theory to the light and speedy infantry of practice. The regiment, relieved of a burden, received a new impetus. But there was much loss of valuable knapsacks, and, on the whole, very good shirts. But the regiment was not yet veteranlike in appearance. Veteran regiments in the army were likely to be very small aggregations of men. Once, when the command had first come to the field, some perambulating veterans, noting the length of their column, had accosted them thus: "Hey, fellers, what brigade is that?" And when the men had replied that they formed a regiment and not a brigade, the older soldiers had laughed, and said, "O Gawd!" multinational /O'Donoghue /BJM /E9 /apprentice /did /LA's /H /ass /D'ailleurs /AS L'enseignement /J'estime /L'inauguration /L'amour /thank-dknifvas /L'Agence van /625 /Stereotype /Canada /advocaat /message /english /p /qualquer /noite bannerToolv /riktigt /Please /cheia /about /SporTV /consumers /achter /3Dsize STOUT /J /K /3D3 /import /dans /biologisk /size /expect /Finns /amp /p /encuen Also, there was too great a similarity in the hats. The hats of a regiment should properly represent the history of headgear for a period of years. And, moreover, there were no letters of faded gold speaking from the colors. They were new and beautiful, and the color bearer habitually oiled the pole.

Presently the army again sat down to think. The odor of the peaceful pines was in the men's nostrils. The sound of monotonous axe blows rang through the forest, and the insects, nodding upon their perches, crooned like old women.

His canteen banged rythmically upon his thigh, and his haversack bobbed softly. His musket bounced a trifle from his shoulder at each stride and made his cap feel uncertain upon his head.

Cute Frown?

Did your holiday (if you celebrated) go as planned? Did the menu remain as planned?
I am apparently a go with the flow kind of gal.
1. I don't care for the whole "open the gift for everyone to see" idea. My mother-in-law loves it - she wants to make sure that everything is even steven - aka what her friends give to Jacob better equal what she gave to their grand children... (issues, I know.) But we do it anyway - or it has already been done for us. (Yes, she pulled a gift out of a gift bag for us.)
2. I planned for chocolate cupcakes for desert - we separated the Birthday from the Thanksgiving. Which was a brilliant idea because i had to wash & change the baby after the cup cake.
3. I planned on cooking "everything" on Thursday. I then saw that someone cooked the bird the day before & heated it up on Thursday - I did that & it worked out perfectly! (I also did the cranberry sauce & cupcakes a day or two before.)
4. I planned on:
Brussels Sprouts (roasted) - 2 bags, only did 1
asparagus (roasted) 2 bunches (unchanged)
stuffing two ways (unchanged)
acorn squash (roasted with a brownsugar rosemary sauce) - 2 squash (only did 1)
potatoes - planned on baking 2 or 3 - I found tiny (big grape sized) potatoes that I split & half & roasted - I got 2 bags cooked one
Sweet potatoes - planned to roast them with thyme - baked them plain
cranberry sauce - made 1 lb. to plan - did not get to the recipe that would use some of the rest...
Made pumpkin cookies for desert - was not on the original plan (I have more dough in my refrigerator that needs to be baked soon.)
Made banana bread for desert - was not on the original plan
As you can see - in addition to left over turkey, I have several raw vegetables to take care of in the near future.
Any leftover turkey recipes out there? - that don't include dairy products or "cream of" soups? (I did make a carcass soup & froze some of it.) Or general ideas on how to use leftover turkey? (I froze a breast, but I have several "cups" of turkey chunks.)
FYI - that "skin" only part that is in the crook of the turkey wing - you know it, right? I took a bite of it on Saturday - that is the flavor of Thanksgiving for me. I was so satisfied - but I ate the whole wing, skin & all anyway.
