"The Cause of Her Grief": The Rape of a Slave in Early New England
[TW: as the title suggests, this post contains discussion of rape]
"The Cause of Her Grief" is an article by Wendy Anne Warren that was published in the March 2007 issue of The Journal of American History (p. 1031- 1049).
In 1638, John Josselyn, a traveler to New England recorded a report of a slave woman just outside of Boston who was raped by a fellow slave at the behest of their owner. Warren's article attempts to recreate the world of this enslaved woman, who arrived in the Massachusetts Bay colony on the very first ship that brought slaves there.
There are many reasons to like this article but here are two:
1) Barbados shows up a lot in it (as it should in any story about early English slavery in the Americas)
2) Warren's honesty in trying to tell this story is poignant and powerful.
Much of the article is questions. Warren is open about where the gaps in our knowledge are when it comes to topics like this. At the end she says,
At some point every historian decides how to frame her argument: I deliberately chose a method that makes visible gaps in my evidence. (1049)
For example, in the section where she wants to describe the rape itself, she acknowledges that we will never be able to reconstruct it through available historical sources. Instead she writes:
How did the attack occur? When? Where? Did Samuel Maverick [the slave owner] watch? Why didn't he do it [rape her] himself? Did his skin crawl at the thought of racial mixing? Or at the thought of fathering children fated to be slaves? Did Amias Maverick [Samuel's wife] refuse to allow another woman's blood to stain her marriage bed? Did the Maverick daughters know what was happening? Were they being raised by the woman now being attacked? Everyone in that house knew her name, a luxury we do not share. Did any of them question what was happening? (1046)
As a historian of slavery, this framework was breathtaking for me. At first I was uncomfortable with it. Is this history, asking unanswerable questions?
But it made me think of discussions at last year's Sexuality & Slavery: Exposing the History of Enslaved People in the Americas conference at the Institute for Historical Studies at UT Austin (where am currently a PhD candidate in the history department). To be honest, this might have been said at a panel I attended at the Berkshire Conference of Women's Historians which featured some of the same main people at the IHS conference. I want to give credit to whomever said these things but I can't remember specifically who it was (though I want to say it was Barbara Krauthamer).
Anyhow, while I can't remember distinctly who said it, I remember what they said: even if we can't answer the questions, we need to be asking them; that part of how you change the juggernaut of a historical paradigm is to simply ask questions that are outside of the comfortable and known. I do remember Leslie Harris saying at the Berkshire conference that she no longer allows her students to avoid answering historical questions by saying, "It's not in the archive" because often (though, of course, not always) the answer is somewhere in the archive, just no one has looked because no one ever bothered to ask the question in the first place.
Wendy Warren asks questions. And no, probably many will never ever be answerable no matter how hard one digs in the archive. But there is worth in simply asking.
This asking of questions goes hand in hand with the…I struggle with the best word to use here…political decision Warren made to tell this story. She is upfront about it in the article:
One story of one rape opens a view into a larger world of Anglican-Puritan rivalries, of gritty colonial aspirations, of settlement and conquest in the early modern Atlantic world, of race and sexuality and how those two constructs combined to determine the shape of many lives. But there are more compelling and human reasons to tell this story. This woman's life deserves to be reconstructed simply because too many factors have conspired to make that reconstruction nearly impossible. Brought against her will to a foreign continent populated by peoples speaking unfamiliar languages, sold as property, raped, and then ignored in the public record, her story mirrors that of millions. Still, her individual resistance touches me; violated but not beaten, she "in her own Countrey language and tune sang very loud and shrill" to a passing stranger and thus ensured her life would be remembered. (1033)
It's not often that reading historical scholarship makes me cry. I'll admit, even now re-reading this passage and typing it out onto my computer screen, there's a sheen across my eyes as I hold back tears. We need to tell the stories of people that history has conspired to silence. I take those words and hold them close to my heart.
But it wasn't even that passage that made me want to write this post today. It is actually how Warren ends the entire piece that inspired me:
Without imagination, how can we tell such stories? We are not scientists; we cannot test our hypotheses; we cannot recall our subjects to life and ask them to verify our claims or to provide more information on the topics they fail to discuss. We make our way among flawed sources, overreliant on written texts, hopelessly entangled in our own biases and beliefs, doing the best we can with blurry evidence, sometimes forced to speculate despite our specialized knowledge. The very beauty of history lies in that messiness, the fact that "unless two versions of the same set of events can be imagined, there is no reason for the historian to take upo himself the authority of giving the true account of what really happened."
I don't know anything about the woman who ended up on Noddle's Island in 1638 -indeed, I suppose it is possible that Josselyn made up the story for reasons we cannot fathom, or that he misunderstood the situation, or that I have misunderstood the situation myself. But I have chosen to believe Josselyn's version. Someone else, infuriated by my methods, can tell a different story; I embrace that possibility. In the meantime, I offer this: We have known, for a long time, a story of New England's settlement in which "Mr Mavericks Negro woman" does not appear; here is one in which she does. (1049)
[Picture me standing up, doing a slow clap for Dr. Warren]
That quote at the end of the first paragraph is Hayden White from The Content of Form (p. 20).
Warren's brutal honesty of what it is historians do (ALL historians, whether they acknowledge the messiness of their practice or not) is, simply, wonderful.
What Warren describes here is what I imagine myself doing in my own work. It is what I strive to do: to embrace the messiness of the process, the incomplete nature of the task, the fact that we are grasping at edges and painting pictures that will forever be fragmentary - this is history. And when we choose to view the field and our work this way, it allows us to open it up to include work like Warren's piece where gaps are openly acknowledged but in which we re-learn for the better a story that we thought we already knew. We stretch the field and bring more players onto it. We can then tell the stories of the people whose existence has been washed away by the violence of the creation of the archive without having to always answer for how unfinished those stories are.
History, as Warren says, is not science. History is messy work. And that is okay.
Because today I read about an enslaved woman in 1638 New England about whom I would otherwise have never known.

Sad news that Prof. Ted Belytschko passed away
We are very sorry to learn that Prof. Ted Belytschko passed away recently. Prof. Belytschko was very important for the birth of the Latin American Journal of Solids and Structures. He accepted, by suggestion of Prof. Paulo Pimenta, to be part of the editiorial board and submitted at once a paper, which was published in volume 1, number 1 of LAJSS. A paper by Belytschko in such a new born journal was really something that talked in favour of a publication that came to grow. We are very thankfull to Prof. Ted Belytschko for his support to LAJSS and we are sorry to learn about this said news.

When it comes to the camshafts, the solid roller is at the top of the lineup, and that's what you will find in almost all serious race engines. So does that make it the correct choice for a hot street application? For all but the most limited application, the answer has been no. Longevity of solid roller lifters in a street application has been the problem, and when a failure occurs, the results aren't pretty. Failure usually occurs at the lifter when the lifter spits out the tiny needle bearings supporting the rollers, filling the engine with damaging debris. Even with the potential for disaster, solid rollers are more popular than ever in street engines. The reason is simple—performance. A solid roller has the ability to make more power and turn higher rpm.
With advances in cylinder head design, modern performance engines will typically make more power with more valve lift. Big-inch stroker combinations and bulletproof bottom end parts capable of serious rpm need all the flow they can get. Modern cylinder heads respond to a much higher lift than what was common in the engines of yesterday. Solid rollers are best for handling high-lift, fast-acting lobe designs, high rpm, as well as the spring loads required. Solid rollers offer the load-handling and stability required in such an environment.
For many, running a solid roller is well worth the risk for the power gained. To hedge your bet here, regular inspection and maintenance of the lifters should be the routine. Inspect the roller wheel for free-play or rough spots while spinning the follower wheel. Any suspect lifters should be replaced or sent to the manufacturer for rebuilding. Starting with a premium set of roller lifters is a good insurance policy. Solid roller lifters are definitely not an item you'd want to cut corners on.
An aggressive solid roller is not going to provide OEM durability in a daily-driver street application. However, with routine maintenance and inspection and premium lifters, a solid roller will get the most out of your street bruiser.

Sales and your favorite basketball tourney are one in the same.
Lucky for us, it's not squeezed into one short month. The NCAA Sales Championship is yearlong, and you're competing against the most well-funded and smartest companies in the league.
There's a big dance. The two teams, You and the Buyer, are quickly maneuvering your message back-and-forth, around the court, and hoping it lands in the net before month's end.
However, it's not the same game your father used to play. Sales teams are evolving and adopting new technologies and acceleration tools that make everyone step up their game. What's the one thing that will get you ahead of the other guys? Teamwork.
"The main ingredient of stardom is the rest of the team."
-John Wooden
With March Madness in full swing, I bet your competitive spirit is at an all time high.
Sure, every salesperson wants to be an all-star (the Russ Smith or Kemba Walker). By nature, sales is a very competitive sport; it's the reason why sales gongs and leaderboards are such a hit. However, the best sales teams have collaboration. You can't go out of bounds when sharing tips with your fellow teammates. Teamwork helps your quota and brings you more money, because when your company is successful, you're successful (and Coach Knight won't yell at you). That equity starts mattering, and the American "tech" dream gets fulfilled.
I've created a playbook on the 5 ways teamwork will help you win more games.
"Effective teamwork begins and ends with communication." -Mike Krzyzewski (Coach K)
"It's the little details that are vital. Little things make big things happen." -John Wooden
Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence wins championships. -Michael Jordan
"People want national championship banners... How do we get there? We don't get there with milk and cookies." -Bob Knight
Always make sure you're focused on being a team player. Sportsmanship is key to closing deals and being your company's strongest teammate. It makes a difference in how you're ranked and how the coach views you; A ball hog is never anyone's favorite. Anyone can be in sales, but it takes teamwork to close your deals. Make sure you practice, keep integrity, and use insight to be a team player.
Let's end with a quote from Mike Krzyzewski that sums up teamwork quite nicely:
"During the season, your team should be led with exuberance and excitement. You should live the journey. You should live it right. You should live it together. You should live it shared. You should try to make one another better. You should get on one another if somebody's not doing their part. You should hug one another when they are. You should be disappointed in a loss and exhilarated in a win. It's all about the journey."

Canada has specialized legislation for the protection of integrated circuit topographies which provides for the registration of original topography designs. The three-dimensional configuration of electronic circuits (contained in an integrated circuit product) is known as a topography. An integrated circuit product is a product intended to perform an electronic function and in which the electronic circuits are integrated. The protection under the legislation does not extend to the functions performed by the integrated circuits.

Environment Canada issues Hydrofluorocarbon reporting requirement
On April 7, 2014, the Minister of the Environment issued a Notice with respect to hydrofluorocarbons (the "Notice"), pursuant to the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999. The Notice imposes reporting requirements on those who imported, exported, or manufactured certain hydrofluorocarbons ("HFCs") from 2008 and 2012. A non-exhaustive list of HFCs subject to these reporting requirements can be found in Schedule 1 of the Notice.

Here's what's different, what's been dropped, and what seems to be largely the same. Caveat: This is a first read!

He locks away his words in the cloud that he is, swimming like his head in the sky waiting to pour down like rain in cascades. He is history in the making, struggling between hesitations and wading through life acquaintance by acquaintance. He dreams to live out his songs, embroidered with memories, thoughts and self made metaphors. He forgets like an old man looking for a lost lover. He laughs with his eyes and as his body vibrates with laughter the whole world and its occupants laugh too and crumble, but he does not even notice. And when he loves, he loves with silence and hushed endearments. He is a dream I wake up to every morning, the star I cannot reach and sometimes the light shines through him and it is like he is not there.

compared to milk and sweetened-beverage intake. Milk intake was found to decrease relative to increased intake of sweetened beverages by age, over time. The study concluded that calcium intake in girls, aged 5–9 years, reflected the relative intake of milk and sweetened beverages in their diet.
Whiting et al. (2001) conducted a longitudinal study to examine whether the amount and type of beverage consumed by adolescent boys and girls correlated with bone mineral content. Beverage and dietary intake data were collected by 24-hour recall over a six-year period. This study found a negative correlation between consumption of nutrient-poor beverages and total body bone mineral content during the 2 years around the age of peak bone mineral accrual in girls. This correlation did not hold up for boys. The authors concluded that milk consumption decreased with increased consumption of nutrient-poor beverages, but their data did not support a relationship between carbonated beverage consumption and bone health (e.g., bone-retarding chemicals in cola drinks). Reduced bone mineral accrual was significantly correlated with milk displacement by nutrient-poor beverages among girls only.
Blum et al. (2005) reviewed existing longitudinal data and found shifts in beverage consumption correlated with increased BMI, but concluded that additional longitudinal data were needed to show an association between substituting low-nutrient-dense beverages for milk and increased BMI in school-age children.
Adolescents, who have the highest intake of added sugars, obtain about 40 percent of their added sugar intake from soft drinks (Briefel and Johnson, 2004). In general, adolescents drink more soft drinks than milk or fruit juices (Briefel and Johnson, 2004). Depending on the study, Popkin et al. (2006) noted that the average calorie intake for all Americans aged 2 and older has increased by 150–300 calories per day over the past 20–30 years. About 50 percent of this increase is contributed by the consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages (Popkin et al., 2006). In the 1990s, soft drinks contributed about 4 percent of total energy intake among 6- to 11-year-old children and 8 percent among adolescents.
Increased added sugars intake has been shown to result in increased energy intake for children (Bowman, 1999). For example, adolescents who did not drink soft drinks consumed 1,984 calories per day compared to 2,604 calories per day for adolescents who drank 26 or more fluid ounces of soft drinks per day (Harnack et al., 1999). In addition, consumption of sugar contribution to dental caries (DHHS/USDA, 2004).
Among obese adolescents, soft drinks contributed about 10 percent of total energy intake for males and about 9 percent for females (Troiano et al., 2000). Soft drinks are not the only sugar-sweetened beverages. Others include fruit drinks and sports drinks. As reported by Guthrie and Morton

Professor Robert Lawrence is in a select company of researchers.
"I think the only other group of scientists who probably are more frustrated than we are, are the climate scientists," Lawrence said in a recent telephone call.
Lawrence is director of the Johns Hopkins Center for a Livable Future in Baltimore, Md., where he also holds the title of the Center for a Livable Future Professor in Environmental Health Sciences Professor, Departments of Environmental Health Sciences, Health Policy and Management, and International Health Director. The Center's mission is to engage "in research, policy analysis, education, advocacy and other activities guided by an ecologic perspective that diet, food production, the environment, and public health are interwoven elements of a single complex system."
The reason for the phone call was a March 27 letter Lawrence and five colleagues sent to the group Kewaunee Cares regarding health and environmental concerns of manure from intensive livestock operations.
The letter began: "We are writing to present some of the concerns associated with the generation and management of manure from intensive livestock operations, particularly regarding the health of Wisconsin's rural citizens. These health and environmental concerns include:
• The spread of infectious disease, including antibiotic-resistant bacteria, to nearby communities.
• Groundwater and surface water pollution, and associated health and ecological impacts.
• Air pollution, odors, and associated health and social impacts.
The letter included 67 citations of peer-reviewed scientific literature.
The reason for Lawrence's scientific frustration is that despite a growing body of evidence that shows the environmental and health consequences of intensive livestock operations, Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) continue to pop up on the landscape.

Love what you've done with your space! I'm redecorating my house in a similar style. Right now my focus is on blush/white/cream in my bedroom but I'm struggling with paint color. Do you have a recommendation if I want to keep things fresh and airy but avoid white walls? What is the color you have in your bedroom and dressing room? Thanks!

Monkey Pose
Dashama Gordon
Start in downward facing dog. Take a deep inhale, and on the exhale, lift the left leg and draw the foot in between the hands to a lunging position. Stay on the heel of the left foot and begin to slide that heel forward as the hips drop towards the floor. Keep squeezing the inner thighs towards the midline and squaring off the hips towards the top of the mat. Open the chest and lift from the heart center as the fingertips release from the floor, sweeping the arms up by the ears. Stay for 3 steady breaths, every exhale releasing deeper into the split. Return to downward facing dog and switch sides.
Good for thigh, hamstring and groin stretch. Stimulates abdominal organs.

Woot aviators!
I've got two amazing godchildren that constantly remind me that time flies. They are both growing so fast and it's hard to believe that I have now been dubbed "Auntie Mau Mau"- And thanks to these beautiful children and their brother, I have come to realize I want to become an early childhood educator and open my own daycare before I have my own children- thanks to my sister, her boyfriend, and their kids I have realized my purpose in life, and have finally come to peice with both of my miscarriages. They were prepping me for what was to come- A time of sadness and wondering "what if" ended by bright eyed children who led me to an epiphany later that day (a few months ago), and now that I've been freed of a controlling relationship to find a partner that encourages and supports my dreams and thoughts (just as I do back) as well as wants the same things within the same timeset. I couldn't be happier (or more blessed) that family is important to him too, And that everything has finally started going right.

best garcinia cambogia in stores
Garcinia Cambogia can help melt inches off your waist, helping you to finally achieve the flat belly you've always wanted. In a 12-week clinical study published in 2000 in the "Journal of International Medical Research," 300 mg of garcinia extract a day, along with other herbs, was given to obese volunteers. The group receiving garcinia experienced a significant difference in weight loss over the control group — 3.5 kg versus 1.2 kg — with 85 percent of the reduction due to fat loss.
The supplement is extracted from the rind of the Garcinia Cambogia fruit (a small pumpkin shaped fruit sometimes called a tamarind) and has been around for a long time which makes experts feel "comfortable about the safety." Doctors say their studies showed an increase in weight loss 2 to 3 times more than those not taking any Garcinia Cambogia Extract, which resulted in up to 10 pounds or more per month without change to diet or exercise. Garcinia Cambogia is a "Dual Action Fat Buster" that suppresses appetite and prevents fat from being made.

Philadelphia's underground metal scene is nothing if not incestuous (in the best possible way, of course).

main index
The Ghost and the Darkness is a 1996 American film directed by Stephen Hopkins (Predator 2, The Reaping) and starring Val Kilmer and Michael Douglas.The movie tells the Very Loosely Based on a True Story (mis)adventure of John Henry Patterson, a British-Irish Lieutenant Colonel and Military Engineer that is assigned the supervision of a railroad's construction in 1898 East Africa. This mission that seems so easy at first is soon complicated by the apparition of two reckless anthropophage lions, the Ghost and the Darkness, that manage to infiltrate every part of the construction camp whenever they please to hunt the workers. This obviously spreads panic among the men and makes the threat of rebellion likely, leaving Patterson with only the help of his African assistant Samuel and the American hunter Remington to face the lions and save the railroad project before it is too late.Part because live-acted lions didn't seem much of a threat after theatres had already been attacked by expensive CGI dinosaurs and alien invaders, part because the main character (played by the goddam Batman) was heavily toned down to make room for the originally tertiary character played by producer Michael Douglas, the film got mixed reviews and a disappointing performance in the box-office. It also won an Accademy Award for Best Sound Editing which is pretty much like winning nothing. The movie still remains an entertaining adventure movie with that classical feel in it, however.

450 Million Lines of Code Can't Be Wrong: How Open Source Stacks Up
timothy posted about a year and a half ago | from the all-a-blur-at-this-point dept.209
An anonymous reader writes "A new report details the analysis of more than 450 million lines of software through the Coverity Scan service, which began as the largest public-private sector research project focused on open source software integrity, and was initiated between Coverity and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security in 2006. Code quality for open source software continues to mirror that of proprietary software — and both continue to surpass the industry standard for software quality. Defect density (defects per 1,000 lines of software code) is a commonly used measurement for software quality. The analysis found an average defect density of .69 for open source software projects, and an average defect density of .68 for proprietary code."

HRW expresses concern over women and migrants' rights in Nepal
Nepal saw new setbacks in efforts to end impunity for perpetrators of wartime abuses over the last year, Human Rights Watch has said in its World Report 2014.
The newly elected Constituent Assembly should take immediate steps to implement the 2006 peace agreement and to provide justice for victims of serious human rights violations during the civil war.
The three-year political deadlock before the November 2013 elections for a new Constituent Assembly has stalled efforts to enact legislations or policies to ensure protection of rights, including reforms to flawed citizenship laws that have left 2.1 million people effectively stateless.
"Ensuring justice for conflict-related abuses should be a top priority for the new Nepali government," said Brad Adams, Asia director at Human Rights Watch.
"To show that they are serious about holding perpetrators to account, the authorities should comply with court orders requiring investigations and prosecutions of wartime cases, and amend the flawed 'truth and reconciliation' law," he added.
In the 667-page world report, its 24th edition, Human Rights Watch reviews human rights practices in more than 90 countries.
In March, a Truth, Reconciliation, and Disappearance bill to investigate serious conflict-related violations was controversially signed into law by the president.
The law failed to define which crimes are eligible for amnesty and which are excluded, giving commissioners potentially wide discretion to make determinations.
As a result, some perpetrators of torture, war crimes, and crimes against humanity could be granted amnesties in contravention of international law.
The Supreme Court has since made a ruling that has had the effect of suspending the law.
In a positive move, in January the authorities in the UK arrested a Nepali army colonel suspected of torture during the civil war based on the principle of universal jurisdiction for torture.
The rape of a returning female migrant worker from Saudi Arabia in December 2012 by an airport police constable sparked widespread protests, and women's rights groups demanded reforms in current laws dealing with gender-based violence.
As part of this movement, women's groups also sought a review of Nepal's migration policies, including revocation of an August 2012 decree banning women under age 30 from traveling to Gulf countries for work.
The ban was imposed to protect Nepali domestic workers from physical or sexual abuse, but rights groups fear that it will push women to migrate through informal channels and increase the risk of abuse.
In 2013, Nepali authorities continued to impose strict restrictions on Tibetans in Nepal, forbidding protests and gatherings. Human Rights Watch called for the Nepali authorities to respect the rights of Tibetans in Nepal to freedom of expression, assembly, and association.

Even though it may not seem like it to me, smartphones are not actually a necessity of life. Shocker, right? I love the suckers! To see if my affinity for all things "smart" was shared by my peers, I conducted a highly scientific survey of whichever of my Facebook friends chose to respond, asking them whether they owned a smartphone and if not, why? A surprising (to me) number of them confessed they did not own a smartphone.
I gave up my smartphone contract the other day and I'm only too glad I did. Wait, this is the library blog - what am I doing writing an opinion piece about cellphone carriers here? Library patrons come to me on a weekly, sometimes daily basis with questions about their smartphones. These little devices we carry around in our pockets and purses like so much loose change represent some of the greatest advancements in computing, telecommunications, and miniaturization technologies ever.

Currently creating avi files of my model, can create an avi file for 3-4minute walk-thru average size of 1GB, can take 3-4 hours to export, this is fine as i get the end result which is a decent avi file, however if i try to create a walk-thru of the full plant model which takes approx 10-15 minutes it can take 7-8 hours to export and at the end the file seems to be corrupt. I export using Microsoft Video 1 @ 75% compression.
Does anyone have any solutions to this problem as having to break down each room of the plant with seperate avi files isnt ideal...
Regards & Thanks

Yeah I would love to hear some insight on this too!
Many hours to create a 15 minute long animation, at what? 20 frames per second? That sounds about right. Also, while its not "ideal", its actually quite unusual to do a single uninterupted shot in rendering or even with live action. Typical edit intervals are around the 3-5 second mark (not kidding - watch some commercials, cartoons, and promotional videos). ~10 second shots aren't unheard of but are uncommon and about the longest you will see. The edits allow for adjusting the pacing of the video, stretching out some areas and speeding up others. Its also easier to compensate for errors in the output, as well as incorporating post-processing.
I guess it would be easier to do a bunch of short videos and then stitch them together using some video editing software.
While in an "ideal" world it would be great if 10-15 second videos would be sufficient, unfortunately if you are presenting a project to a group of people 10-15 second videos are not good enough, if i was client wanting to see how my investment will look i would expect to see a full walk-thru of the project / facility , not someone stopping and starting a series of 10-15 sec video clips.
I think there was a mis-understanding. You render out short segments (I do them by frames), then stitch them together with a video editor into a total overal presentation using fades, wipes, and other editing features. Because of the precise camera control, with a little shot planning multiple short animations can be smoothly strung together to look like one long segment. Again, look at finished promotional videos, animated movies, and cartoons with an eye towards the editing and direction - you'll see what I'm talking about.
If the client wants a full walk-through we don't use a video, we use Navisworks itself so they can stop, look around, and query to their hearts content.

Pack small handy items while travelling
Be it to sun-kissed beaches or to snow-covered places, whenever you travel next, ensure to pack little things like safety pins, bandana and duct tape.
Here's a list of a few items that will make everything run more smoothly, reports huffingtonpost.com:
* Bandana: Bandana is loved by many for its versatility. It can be used as a hand towel, lens cleaner, hair tie, headband and scarf. It can also work as a pillow when you tie it around a bundled-up sweater or as a sling for a sprained arm, and even as a handbag.
* Duct tape: Carry a small roll with you to patch tears in shoes, bags, or clothing. You can baby-proof your hotel room by covering outlets and securing drawers shut. It can also hold together a torn guidebook.
* Moist towelettes: Not only can you sanitize your hands and kill germs on tray tables, doorknobs, tabletops, and other public places, you can also use them as a refreshing face cloth.
* Safety pins: It's a multifunctional travel tool. Use in place of a missing button or to mend other wardrobe malfunctions or prevent static cling in a dress or skirt by slipping the safety pin into the seam of your slip as the metal has repelling properties.
