The latest edition to our household is already 8 months old. I feel shocked at how little I wrote about the birth. But I just wasn't able to commit to doing the writing just yet.
It was very moving and emotional and intense. It was frightening. It was joyful. It was scary. It was natural. It was birth. My daughter was there. The mid-wives were there. We filmed it. We watched it. Again.
IN some previous posts I think I've talked about the importance of being present for this child, knowing that he is a boy-child and knowing how boy children - specifically Black boy children are under-mis educated and pretty well... left back.
But b4 I get all theoretical on you, let me just write my feelings down, I mean for gods sake the point of this blog was to talk about my feelings. First the birth: it was like nothing I had ever experienced before. I mean, I wasn't emotionally present for stinkapee - I would say - I mean - I was there but only in body. You should see my eyes in some of the pictures of that day. I look like a fucking zombie.
I don't even think I was there. It was like a was on another planet. Some place far far away. I mean my head is exploding right now just thinking about how I felt in the moment. My young self didn't even really believe it was all happening. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Oh shit... I need to get a hold of myself.
So when I think about Shomalian, I think - the opposite. I has present and excited and really interested in the birth. Our life was different physically, but more importantly, I was seeing a counselor, attending a mens group, facilitator of a young men's group against violence and reading. Then slowly things started to change and I didn't know what to do. Well that's not true either. Wow, writing is something else. Of course I knew what to do, I just didn't want to change anything. I wanted to stay miserable and angry and complain. I still want to be angry... okay I'm ranting now.
Back to the day of the birth. It was an unbelievably beautiful day. I was shitting bricks though cause 4 days before, I had been preparing for (the baby's) arrival. DD was having light contractions on the Thursday (he wasn't born until the following Monday) But because of the quick birth of Stinkapee, I thought - i guess we all thought it best to be ready. So, the midwives came over, I paced up and down a little - and I even had my trusty video camera.
Gotta go pick up my daughter - more later.

No cross over Georgia2010-10-05 14:41
A crying icon is a sad miracle. It is high time that Saint Nina, illuminator of Georgia equal to the apostles who brought a miraculous cross from vine branches to the country cry with bloody tears over Georgia. Could she ever have thought that Georgia - one of the three domains of Virgin Mary, where Andrey the First-Called preached and Apostles Simon Kananit and Matfiy are buried - will have the orthodox cross turned into a political one by some local figures? The sign of common salvation for Christian nations is derogatively named "a provocation" and "a piece of iron"...
United Russia party Saint-Petersburg branch has come across this vision after they presented a good intention of setting a cross near the memorial to the warriors that perished in the Great Patriotic War that was demolished on December 19 2009 in Kutaisi. The memorial was blown up: there was no other site for a new building of Georgian parliament in small Georgia.
Now local authorities refuse to allocate six square meters to the cross. Apparently guided by the principle "beware the Achaeans bearing gifts" Georgian media pulled their socks up to find a Russian provocation here.
What kind of Christian country should this be not to distinguish between the Trojan horse and the Orthodox cross?
As Vitaly Milonov, a deputy of Saint-Petersburg legislative assembly told in an interview with Georgia Today, the 3m cross was supposed to be erected on the lawn near the new building of Georgian parliament featuring icons of two greatest saints of Russia and Georgia - Saint Nina, equal to the apostles illuminator of Georgia, and Saint Olga equal to the apostles illuminator of Russia. Icons of new martyrs of Kutaisi and Saint-Petersburg would be displayed near the images of two greatest Christian devotees.
If celestial patrons are so close - how can secular squabbles separate them? It is not incidental that Saint Paul wrote that Christ makes no difference between Hellenes or Israelites. Faith is what brings people together across all borders, even in a territory that seems or is considered hostile. Only evil and treason can divide Christians, and schism inside the church and among brothers in faith is the worst that can happen.

After finding a link in a successful mission in Hong Kong, James and Lauren Adams and Dana Smith are sent on a mission to Australia, posing as the children of an ASIS agent. They have been sent to determine whether a cult, The Survivors, is associated with Help Earth, and as such are sent to a "recruitment hotbed" area. The "family" starts going to cult meetings, and are eventually accepted into the commune. Lauren and James are accepted into an elite cult school in the Ark, the cult's headquarters. There, James befriends Rathbone "Rat" Regan, son of the cult's founder. After a while, Lauren develops a crush on Rat, and he uses his influence with Susie Regan, one of his father's many wives, to get her and James jobs in the offices, rather than in the stifling warehouse or laundry rooms.
Dana, meanwhile, extremely depressed about her unspectacular role in the mission, is summoned to the head of the commune's office. There, she and Eve, another cult member, are told that they are to participate in a Help Earth mission to blow up an oil tanker. Her attempts to warn the mission controllers fail, and she ends up having to stop the attack herself.
However, ASIS now knows of the links between Help Earth and the Survivors. Having been waiting for an excuse to attack the Ark, elite troops are sent in to destroy it, despite the CHERUB agents' warnings that the cult is well-prepared for such an event. A helicopter is shot down and dozens of troops are killed in the first attack. In the lull that follows, James, Rat and Lauren attempt an escape. However, they are captured and locked in a room full of toddlers by a sadistic overseer.
When they manage to overpower her, Lauren points out that they need to take the kids with them or risk them dying. James reluctantly agrees, and they drag the half-asleep toddlers with them. Rat says that the most likely way out is through the sewage system, so they go there. James is making his way through the tank when an engineer appears. A brief moment of panic is proved unfounded as Rat persuades the man that he is on a divine mission. The man then offers to help them.
The now nine-strong group get out, but later hear that in another ASIS attack, several dozen children were killed when a wall collapsed on them. Rat is reported dead, but is revealed to be alive and going out with Lauren, who receives a black shirt. Dana is awarded a navy shirt, while all James gets is a stomach bug caught in the sewage system. Rat is recruited as a CHERUB agent and the four return to campus.[1]
Main characters[edit]
- James Adams - Is sent to Australia with Lauren and Dana to infiltrate the Survivors' Ark. Only Lauren and James are accepted and they begin to unearth links between The Survivors and Help Earth. Towards the end of the book they become involved in the carnage that ensues when The Australian SAS invade.
- Lauren Adams - James's sister, Lauren also goes to Australia and earns a Black Shirt, making her one of the youngest CHERUB agents to ever receive one.
- Dana Smith - She is part of the mission, except that she does not get accepted to go into the Survivor's Ark. Instead, Dana is sent to blow up a tanker that is refueling at a LNG, Liquid Natural Gas, facility as a part of Help Earth's plan.
Censored Section[edit]
Divine Madness is one of two Cherub stories where part of a scene had been cut out. The scene in question was the segment where Kyle and Bruce were chasing a suspected member of Help Earth. In the original version of the scene, Bruce beats up a passenger who calls him names while boarding the train. In the published book, this is not shown due to excessive violence. The cover is Bruce ignoring the comment.[2]
Extra Story[edit]
On the CHERUB website, there is a bonus chapter entitled "Disconnected". It is set during Chapter 44 of Divine Madness, and introduces James' father.[3]
Divine Madness won the Lancashire Children's Book of the Year in 2007.[4]

The cloud, that misty covering that oft times falls upon God's people, is not a blot in God's handwriting. With Jesus, clouds come as a part of His train of glory. Clouds are really not our enemies; they do not hide His face; they are not warnings of an approaching storm. Once you understand that clouds are instruments of divine love, they should no longer be feared.
You will never understand your trials and sufferings until you understand the meaning of holy clouds. It is true, Christ will return at the end of this age in clouds of glory. But He is also coming to us with clouds throughout our journey here on earth. When you invite Christ to come into your life to meet your needs, He comes with clouds. The clouds are chariots of His divine blessings. "He maketh the clouds his chariot" (Psalm 104:3).
The cloud that may be hanging over your head at this very moment is not some cold, foreboding mist of wrath. We are so afraid of clouds, we almost always attribute them to storms. We call them storm clouds because we don't understand that they are, in reality, pillows of peace and comfort. When our Lord comes with clouds, He comes to lead, to reveal Himself, and to provide a protective covering for His people. Let me prove to you from the Scriptures that clouds, no matter how dark or fearful they may appear to the human eye, are the habitation of the Christ of glory. When you know He is in your cloud, you can rest in quiet confidence, knowing He is at work.

I had the opportunity and pleasure to work with Pleng when she was a Grade 11 student at United World College Thailand (UWCT). At the time, she volunteered to help with the UWCT Grade 5 Education Outside The Classroom (ETOC) kayak and camping trip that I was leading.
We've kept in touch and Pleng recently contacted me for a letter of reference as well as pointers and tips on possible internships and volunteer opportunities before she heads to University.
Pleng's story reminds us why we do what we do as educators! I hope you and your students find her story inspiring!
Good luck Pleng!
What is your main goal and passion related to nature, conservation and sustainability?
I love being around animals that's what I would say. I can't stand to see injured or starving animals because I would feel angry and guilty with the world, especially human or myself, to witness how we neglect these wonderful animals to death.
Therefore, my passion is protecting animals as much as I can and make it sustainable, which means people will still carry the thought of animals are important to humans in longtime and forever.
How did you discover your interest in outdoors & nature?
It started since I was young. I was studying in Thai special math and science school since grade 7 what allowed me to learn branches of science in highschool, including environmental science which is a branch of science that I can relate to in daily life.
I would say it's a benefit of studying science at young age that give me enough time to realize myself what I love in sciences. I started doing my environmental project about mangrove tree experiments at age of fourteen, which brought me on real fields such as mangrove forests, rainforests and scientific laboratories.
Those experiences opened up my mind to every activities about environment such as kayaking, hiking, scuba diving or even extreme sports.
What are you hoping to learn more about?
I'm hoping I can learn more about relationships between human, animals and environment. As a high school student, I have learned some interesting things about the interaction between human; how human act to each other in different situation and impact their behaviour.
I would love to learn and understand more about the connection of human, animals and environment and how these connection bring awareness of protecting each other. I got inspiration from some scientific research that showed singing can impact growth in plants, animals and humans can communicate and understand each others even we speak different language.
Therefore, I hope that my passion for animal conservation and environment will answer these questions of mine.
Do you have any goals or ideas for future projects related to conservation or environmental education?
I want to raise up the awareness of Thai people to the importance of environment and wildlife for the future.
In the past Thais didn't give much importance to nature or animals. We thought plenty of nature in our country will be the same for long time or forever.
We didn't give a priority to animals and we treat them like an object as we don't have any laws to protect animals.
Negligence of taking care of animals in Thailand angered me so much because it shows an inability of being responsible to our natural resources.
Was there any particular events or teachers that helped you realize you want to learn more and do something for the environment?
There are several teachers and events that helped to continually suggest me into environmental mindset. Two years of volunteering with Bodhi dog shelter when I was studying at United World College Thailand, clearly answered me a lot about my life.
The people who are taking care of injured dogs inspired me to help who are in need without any concern of what you are willing to do, and this case is an injured dog. Those injured dogs do not have any right to speak or protect themselves.
Also, thanks to my environmental high school teacher in UWC Thailand, Jalal Tarazi, who saw some passionate environment in myself and supported me as much as he could. Although back at that time I didn't realize myself that I would be fascinated in environmental education or wildlife conservation anymore.
The conversation we had that drove me to learn and find more about myself with environment is on my graduation day, he said to me with a shine in his eyes that "I hope I will see you learning more in environmental ways"
This seems like a short and normal conversation people would say before a farewell, but it encouraged me a lot to look back at myself who I really am and what I really passion about.
And also Kenny Peavy, my environmental trip supervisor, who I have met on my high school camping when I was supposed to be supervisor for fifth grade students.
He lit my thoughts of being someone to protect nature to me in every activities that he taught the kids. I realized how close we are to nature in every step of living from him via kayaking, camping or having dinner.
Do you have any advice for other students?
If you have some thought of enjoyment to do something even it will be insane for the rest of the world, just do it. That feeling of pleasure never let you down. Because at least you are doing what you have fun with and love. Live for yourself and follow your dreams!

Kudos to you guys.
Here is my first video clip to my blog.
*Ignore the voice. I didn't know I sound super bad....
Yep, those are hamsters. And yes that hamster is running left and right and left and right. I spotted these hamsters with McDave when we were at KL Central. Very random I know but its so amusing to see the hamster running left and right.
If you look closely, its mouth is filled with nuts. Hahahah. Just so adorable. Looking at him running for no apparent reason. Hahahhaha.
I wish I can have hamsters as my pets. Heheheh. But I think Rat Rat would not like the idea. Hehehhe. He shall be the only rodent in my eyes. Hehehhe.

Fore milk / hind milk not true?(22 Posts)
So many midwives text etc told me about the fire milk hind milk thing, that I shouldn't feed little and often cos they'd only get the fore milk.
I ignored advice in the end because they (twins) wanted to feed v regularly but always had slight guilt about it given advice but just followed my instincts and fed.
I've read on here a few times that it is a myth. Is it really? I was told about it as if it was scientifically proven or something!
I have been given such crap advice from hcps re bf, it's incredible.
Diont know why it says text after midwife on first line, plus I meant fore not fire obvs. Bloody phone
It's not that it's a myth, it's just that its no lot really helpful to use the terms fore and hind milk as it gives the impression that the breasts produce two types of milk, which they don't.
What does happen is that the milk at the start of a feed is more watery, but gradually becomes more fatty and when the breast is most 'empty' ( they can't really be empty) the milk is fattiest. However, if you have fed a short while ago and then feed again, the milk will still be fattier at the start of that feed than if you left it several hours before feeding again. It's a bit like a hot tap in a way. Hen you turn the tap on, the water is cold. Then, as it runs, it gradually gets warmer until its at its hottest. If you turn the tap off and then turn it back on after a couple of minutes, it will still be warm and gradually get hotter again. If you leave the tap off for a long time, it will start off cold again and gradually get hotter. The fat in breast milk sort of works the same way. Does that make sense?
Wow, that's a great way of explaining it midori
I feed my DS by switch feeding as he's had lots of varied problems feeding and it works great for us, I think my body has adjusted to make sure he gets what he needs.
It's not a myth, it's just irrelevant and a very unhelpful way of terming it.
Don't feed little and often, just feed when the baby demands it (which will be often, but probably not too little).
But well done for feeding twins. Blimey!!
Yeah that's really well explained midori! Thank you! If only hcps knew this....
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
That's really interesting, lost, thanks
Research on this has changed so it depends how old your twins are and how updated the midwives have kept themselves.
When I did my training we were taught about hind milk and foremilk and thats what was in the text books, then about 5 or 6 years ago all the advice was changed.
They are 20 weeks!
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
Oooh, I like that tap metaphor, will be nicking it and sharing it, thanks!
viva is right - midwives were taught (and are sometimes still taught, I think) the wrong thing about fore/hindmilk.
The research didn't change - we're still using the same research that shows milk composition changes as volume of milk in the breast reduces. That was right then, and it is right now
But unfortunately, it was badly misinterpreted to mean 'babies should only feed on one side per feed' to the detriment of mothers, babies and breastfeeding.
I don't think it actually got into the text books as wrong, though...but what people hear is probably more powerful when it comes to practice.
I would like to think the message gets through to staff when research changes.
We're lucky in our trust that we have a very good infant feeding coordinator who makes sure were up to date with stuff. Other trusts may not be as good in updating their staff.
Actually, I live in France and the advice I received here was so dated and or wrong. Just as an example, At the hospital, I was told that it wasn't possible to breast feed twins because I wouldn't have enough milk.
I nearly didn't end up breast feeding because it was so crap. I had to fight not to ff.
I definitely think the advice comes across wrong I kept being told dd needed to be fed at least 25 mins but simply didn't want to - wanted to do lots of 10 min feeds and some longer feeds ... it probably did coincide with the longer gaps of feeding ala tap similie (which I agree is fab).
I was v worried is she getting enough? but she put on almost a whole lb in a week at 2-3 weeks so I decided stuff it and went with the flow!
So interesting - esp the link. Thanks for that. I have a question. I used to do one feed-one breast based on this notion of fore/hind milk. I would note which boob was used and use the other the next feed. Is this technique still OK? Or is it better to switch between boobs at each feed? If it's better to switch, how do you know when is the best moment to switch?
And although total daily milk consumption is the important factor, doesn't a fattier meal mean baby goes longer between feeds? <too many questions me thinks - sorry!>
I only ever fed DD on one side per feed.
that's probably quite useful if you've got twins
Re: switching - I'd say, generally, it's good to offer the second breast, when your child has had enough of the first one.
Some babies never really come off, voluntarily, but can be swapped over without a struggle when their feeding has slowed down a lot.
But switching is a Bad Idea if you tend towards oversupply, and an Excellent Idea if you tend towards undersupply - so it really does depend. (If you really have undersupply, then it's worth offering 3 or 4 breasts in a feed.)
The rule is there is no rule
It is as meaningless to stick to one breast only as it is to stick to 2 breasts every time - unless either or these is what your baby indicates he wants.
Deliberately only using one breast each time leads to a risk for some women that you make insufficient milk - milk supply is driven by frequent removal of milk, and if you only ever use each breast once every (say) 4-6 hours or more, you risk not making enough. Women bf twins automatically stimulate the milk production frequently on both sides so none of this applies
So it's good to at least offer the second side in the early weeks when bf is getting established.
No, babies don't go longer if they stay on one breast, removing the fattier milk to keep them from being hungry for longer. They need volume as well as fat. And you get more volume into a baby if you offer both sides.
I like this blog post it has some very good photos.

Birds' scruffy feathers are only temporary
Updated 4:19 pm, Saturday, September 15, 2012
Some of the birds in your backyard may look unkempt if not downright scraggly, as though their clothes have worn out.
Birds, of course, are clothed in feathers, and feathers do wear out. The gorgeous, eye-catching plumage you saw in spring and for most of summer has begun to fade and look tattered from being bleached by sunlight, scraped against tree limbs and scarred by dust and gravel.
Think of the wear and tear on the feathers of a bird like a western scrub-jay, which must continuously slip in and out of a nest placed deep within a tough-barked Hill Country shrub. Or a downy woodpecker in Southeast Texas that makes untold trips to a nest inside a tree hole excavated just underneath a vertically leaning limb.
More Information
Molting birds
Plumage lingo: Songbirds hatched in the spring acquire juvenile (aka juvenal) plumage.
Juvenile songbirds molt into formative first-winter plumage by autumn.
Adult songbirds molt into basic (aka nonbreeding or winter) plumage by autumn.
In spring, songbirds acquire alternate (aka breeding or spring) plumage.
Molt timing: Most adult songbirds go through a complete feather molt after breeding season.
In spring, adult songbirds like American goldfinches undergo a partial molt of body feathers and wing coverings but not flight feathers.
A few songbirds like marsh wrens and bobolinks undergo two complete molts a year, one in the fall and one in the spring.
Alternate plumage also may be acquired when feather tips wear away. Meadowlarks, for example, reveal a brighter yellow pattern after their tawny feather tips have worn off.
Nonsongbirds like snowy egrets generate new silky white plumes in alternate plumage.
Juvenile gulls generally take two to four years, depending on the species, to molt into adult plumage. The molt sequencing is referred to as first cycle, second cycle, etc.
Molt can be variable: Some first-year birds may retain most of their juvenile plumage for several months.
When juvenile birds leave the nest, they look even sloppier than worn adults. The young bluebirds in our backyard are lackluster brown with blotchy spots on their breasts. My wife recently took a photo of a juvenile Virginia's warbler while conducting a workshop in Arizona. The bird was so disheveled as to be barely recognizable.
Yet the ratty plumage will change by October as adult birds complete a process called molt, discarding their worn-out feathers and replacing them with a new coat. Young birds born in the spring will gradually replace their juvenile feathers with adult plumes.
Although feathers are dead parts like human hair, they do not continuously regenerate. So birds go through the time-consuming process of molting (call it "changing out") their feathers once or twice a year. And because molting consumes a bird's energy, the bird must wait until after breeding season.
Molting is complex and not uniform across varying species of birds. For example, the wrens in your backyard will molt head and body feathers first, then molt the flight feathers in a symmetrical sequence so they don't fall off at once; otherwise the birds couldn't fly.
As birds that need to soar daily, vultures molt their flight feathers gradually, taking two years. Same is true for eagles.
Shorebirds like sanderlings that breed in the high Arctic don't begin molting until they arrive on their wintering grounds, which for some is along the Texas coast. Depending on the species, juvenile gulls take two to four years to molt into adult plumage.

"Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life." Pablo Picasso
This course is about discussing works of famous artists and then creating art based on our discussion. We will discuss questions such as "What is art?", "What relationship does art have to nature?", "What makes something beautiful?". Or, we may present a piece of art such as 'melted clocks' by Salvador Dali and discuss the concept of time and/or what it means to waste time, … Through the process of exploring, examining, and expressing freely, we create different paintings, drawings, crafts or collage and make them our own.
Instructor: Dr. Mahboubeh Asgari
Dr. Mahboubeh Asgari is a post-doctoral researcher in Philosophical Inquiry with Children in the Faculty of Education at UBC, a teacher at SelfDesing working philosophical inquiry and art with homeschool children, and the Founder/Director of The School of Inquiry in Vancouver, BC. The School of Inquiry is a space dedicated to reflection and dialogue. Mahboubeh has created this space to nurture children's thinking and to empower them to think critically, creatively and caringly.
Mahboubeh is passionate about painting, too. During her adolescence, she attended different art classes such as painting, sewing, knitting and embroidery; later on she focused mainly on drawing and painting (color pencil, chalk pastel, acrylic) to produce art. Mahboubeh mainly uses vibrant colors and smooth curves inspired by nature to represent peace, liveliness, energy and love in her art. In her acrylic works, she usually uses Persian calligraphy (e.g. poems by Rumi). The words and poems she uses are mostly about love, life, and the meaning of life.

"Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff VS Andre The Giant
Orndorff had legit strength, but nowhere near enough to withstand the onslaught of perhaps the largest athlete based on body index to ever walk the Earth. Andre in six minutes.
Pat O'Connor VS Gene Kiniski
I've seen Pat O'Connor wrestle Buddy Rogers before, and it was incredible. Watching Gene Kiniski fight Lou Thez was kind of a let down. Honestly, despite Kiniski beating Thez and Gagne in their prime and coming within an eyelash of making it all three with Sammartino, I gotta go with O'Connor. Guy was a world champion in his own right, in fact the only man to hold the NWA and AWA World Championships simultaneously. No shame in Kiniski's game, but for my money, O'Connor was better.
Charlie Haas VS Verne Gagne
A battle between two Mat-Wrestlin' Minnesotans. Obviously Gagne gets the duke, but Charlie Haas would put in a good twelve minutes before retiring in such a clinic. (Read: Haas was underrated.)
Meng VS Giant Baba
Perhaps the hoss fight to end all hoss fights. Meng has been dubbed by the boys in the back as one of the legitimately toughest human beings to lace a pair of boots, and Giant Baba was a seven foot tall beast who held the NWA Championship on three occasions. Thing is though, despite watching Baba get a fall on Bruno Sammartino in a 2-out-of-3 falls match, I'm actually going to with Meng. When Meng was King Tonga in 1986, I saw him wrestle a style more like Ricky Steamboat than a Face Of Fear. He has a deceptively deep move set beneath the hard core (meaning impenetrably solid, not just, y'know, "hard core").
Andre The Giant defeats Paul Orndorff
Pat O'Connor defeats Gene Kiniski
Verne Gagne defeats Charlie Haas
Meng defeats Giant Baba

Merry Christmas and Happy December! Tis the season to be eating! And love, of course, but…meh. XDD It's Christmas break for me and I can now sleep and eat as much as I can! As my friends always say, "eat now, regret later."
Anyway, I won't keep on ranting here. I give you Heiji and Kazuha!
"This is Mamo. She's my child."
Heiji's ears could not believe what they just heard.
Hear again, said his brain. Are you deaf?!
We are hearing! And no, we are not deaf! Kazuha has a child, dammit! His ears said in reply.
"You're lying. Tell me you're lying." Heiji said, taking a step back, looking back and forth between Kazuha and the girl. "That can't be true, right?!"
Kazuha looked down at her shoes and said softly, "It's true Heiji. She's my child. But let me explain!"
"Shut up! So you're telling me that you've kept this information from me for ten years?! Kazuha, what the hell?!"
"Listen to me will you, ahou!"
"How can I listen to you when you-you-argh! How could you Kazuha! I'm your bestfriend!"
"And a bestfriend is supposed to listen first before jumping to conclusions! You're a detective, aren't you? How can I give birth to a child in the age of seven!?"
Heiji stopped his rising panic and blinked. He put his hand on his chin and thought about it. "You have a point."
Kazuha sighed. "Finally. Anyway-"
"Who's the father?"
Kazuha looked at his frowning face. "What?"
"Who's her dad?" Heiji asked her again. Kazuha started to blush.
"Her dad is...um…"
"Not here?! So that bastard left you this child and went off somewhere, leaving you to take care of her all alone!? Tell me where he is and I'll punch him in the face!"
"Heiji! Calm down! This isn't like you at all! And why do you care if my husband is here or not!?"
Heiji froze. Why did he care? Because she's his childhood friend, of course he had to take care of her. Didn't he promise her that he wouldn't let her get hurt? So it's quite reasonable that he had to give that bastard who left her alone with a child a good beating for leaving his Kazuha to fend for herself- hold on a minute!
His Kazuha?!
He did not just say that! Rewind and start all over! He did not just claim that she is his! Kazuha isn't an object! She a perfectly beautiful human being that deserves respect and love from - okay stop that, brain!
Heiji took a deep breath, calming himself down. "Okay, now what? How did you get a child without me knowing anything?"
Before Kazuha could say anything, Mamo cried and leaped into Heiji's arms.
"Papa! I missed you!" The young girl said, hugging the detective of the West tightly. Heiji turned to stone, his mind grounding to a halt.
For the millionth time, his brain said, what!?
"I-who-wha-me and Kazuha-asdfghjk- haaaaa!?"
Kazuha chuckled at the scene, a light blush on her cheeks. Sure, Heiji found that pretty cute, but what the heck did this kid just say!?
She said that he and Kazuha were…her parents?!
That's impossible! It's atrocious! How could he do it with anyone, much less, Kazuha of all people!? No way! He would never do that!
But then again, his heart said, if Kazuha had this child with someone else, what would you do?
I would…
"Papa?" Mamo's voice pierced through his mind, shattering his thoughts. He looked down at her. Kazuha's daughter – or his daughter – looked so much like her mother. She had Kazuha's stubborn chin, her beautiful shaped face, and luscious black hair. But those eyes. Those bright intelligent eyes were his.
He smiled hesitantly at the child. "Mamo-chan, was it? How did you get here?"
"She came from the future." Kazuha piped up. Heiji stared so intensely at her, she started to grow uneasy. "Uhh, Heiji?"
Heiji snapped out of it. "Huh? What now? The future, you say?"
Mamo nodded. "Hai. I came from the future. You and mama didn't change at all!" She laughed and added, "But papa is always so sweet to mama after one of their 'debates'. He always gives her chocolate!"
Kazuha raised an eyebrow at this and grinned at Heiji. "Eehhh, is that so? So then I guess you have to start practicing now, Heiji."
"Urusen." The detective muttered, putting his child down on the ground. "But why did you come here, Mamo-chan?"
The seven-year-old kid looked at both of them and in a pleading voice, she said, "Papa, do you still have the omamori mama gave you?"
Heiji pulled out his phone, the purple charm dangling from its strap. "Here it is. Why?"
Mamo turned to Kazuha. "How about you, mama?"
Kazuha reached for the string around her neck, but couldn't find it. "Ara, where could it have gone? I think I lost it!"
"No way…" Mamo looked at her hands, calculations running in her hand. "If mama loses her charm then…then…"
"Then what?" Heiji asked her.
Mamo looked at him, her eyes wide in fear.
"Then I and mama will cease to exist."
"You're so careless, ahou!" Heiji said to his childhood friend as they searched her room for the charm.
"I'm sorry, okay?!" Kazuha huffed, pushing through boxes and looking under the bed. Heiji just grunted in irritation as he searched high and low for that charm.
What Mamo had said after that had startled and worried him. If Kazuha wouldn't be able to find her charm in this time in less than 24 hours, Mamo would disappear. And what's more, Kazuha would die in the future. He didn't know how, but it involved something magical about that charm that had protected Kazuha during the time she was pregnant.
Heiji would not admit that he got married and had a child with his childhood friend, but he would do anything not to lose her. Not now, not later, not ever.
"Where did you last see it?" Heiji asked her. Kazuha suddenly stood up and snapped her fingers.
"I remember! It was during the time when I was changing for aikido practice, I took it off so that it wouldn't bother me. It's probably still in my locker somewhere."
And with that said, Heiji, Kazuha, and Mamo quickly went to school and gathered at the back of the aikido girl's clubroom. Luckily, the clubroom was open.
"You guys wait outside; I'll just go in and check." Kazuha said to them as she opened the door and stepped through. Heiji frowned as Mamo held his hand.
"You be careful." He said. Kazuha raised an eyebrow at this but grinned.
"Ah. I'll be right back."
And with that, the clubroom door slid shut. Heiji sighed and looked down at his future daughter. "Well, I guess we'll have to wait for mama for quite a while."
Mamo stared at him and then smiled widely. "Hai, papa."
Ten minutes passed and they were about to go sit at one of the benches when a scream pierced through the air. Heiji instantly knew what was happening and dashed back to the clubroom.
"Kazuha!" He cried out as he slammed the door open. There was no one inside. Heiji looked around in desperation, but then spotted two things lying on the ground. "No way…"
He picked up Kazuha's fallen charm and a note.
I've taken your wife. Come to the top of the Tsutenkaku Tower at 21:00. Bring your kid.
If not, you won't be seeing your precious woman anytime anymore.
Mamo came inside the room. "Papa?"
"They've taken her." Heiji crushed the note, his whole figure trembling in rage. "Mamo-chan, do you know who this Mist guy is?"
Mamo nodded. "He's the bad guy that wanted to kill mama because she went and married you instead of him."
"That bastard… When I meet him, I'll kick his ass!"
Heiji skidded to a stop as he tried to digest what was going on in front of him. Kazuha saw him arrived and grinned.
"Oh, Heiji, you're here."
"'You're here', my ass! What the heck are you doing?!"
Kazuha looked around her as the wind ruffled her hair. Heiji had finally reach the top of the tower, only to see a middle-aged man and Kazuha sitting down on the ground having tea, waiting for him. "Well, you were kinda late and I got bored and this person calling himself 'Mist' or something had tea, so we decided to wait for you."
"O-oi, Touyama-san, you agreed that you wouldn't spill the beans to him." Mist protested. Kazuha covered her mouth.
"Oh right, I forgot, sorry. But you know, Mist-san, Heiji will find out the plan sooner or later."
Heiji could not understand what was going on. "What the heck?!"
Kazuha and Mist looked at each other. "Should we tell him the plan?"
"Let's just tell him. It's too late anyway."
Kazuha nodded and faced her childhood friend. "Heiji, The point of the note and the capture was because Mist-san wanted to marry the future me. However, since I was – or going to be – married already he decided to persuade my past self to reconsider my marriage with you. But I wasn't hurt, don't worry. He's not that bad of a guy, right?"
Mist nodded nervously. "Y-yeah."
Heiji frowned as his eyebrows creased. Before he could open his mouth to say anything, Mamo burst out from behind him.
"Mama!" Mamo cried as she headed for her mom. Kazuha jumped up.
It was too late for Kazuha and Heiji as they saw the bullet come out from Mist's gun and embed itself deep in Mamo's chest, red blossoming her dress.
Heiji dashed out and caught his future daughter before she could fall on the ground, lying limp in his arms. Kazuha whipped out her hand and disarmed the man, dislocating his shoulder and tightly tied his hands with her ribbon. Mist just laughed in a crazy manner, his eyes wild.
"It was never you from the beginning, Touyama-san. I just needed you and your husband to bring the child to me. Because of her…because of her, my whole underworld business collapsed!" He laughed hysterically. "But I've gotten my revenge. I've done my part. We're all gonna go to the other side sooner or later. I just made it faster for her. hehehehehe….hehehhehee…ahahahahahaha!"
Kazuha clenched her fists, tears rolling down her face. "You're despicable." With a trembling hand, she slowly picked up the gun from the ground, pointing it at the man's face. Heiji's eyes grew wide as he gently laid down his daughter on the ground, put his jacket on top of her and rushed towards his bestfriend.
He grabbed the gun and shoved it up at the sky as she pulled the trigger, sending the projectile upwards. Heiji pried her fingers from the weapon and threw it aside. "You're not a murderer, Kazuha."
"But he- but he…To our daughter…" Kazuha buried her face on his chest and cried like never before. Heart-wrenching sobs shook her frame as Heiji wrapped his arms around her.
Kazuha lifted her face up and getting out of Heiji's embrace, rushed towards her daughter's side. She clutched the child's hand. "Mamo-chan? Mamo-chan?"
Mamo's eyes fluttered open as she smiled weakly at her mother. She tugged a string from around her neck and pulled out the soaked and damaged charm that had saved her life. "The bullet still hit me, but it's not fatal…Don't cry, mama."
"Mamo-chan." Kazuha hugged her child gently, glad that she was safe. Badly hurt, but safe.
Suddenly, the air above the tower seemed to distort and to Heiji and Kazuha's amazement, several flying cars came out from the hole. A dark skinned man with a tall but lean build in a suit and tie hopped out and rushed towards Kazuha and Mamo as men in a police uniform arrested Mist. Kazuha blushed.
It was Heiji in his adult form; more handsome and more refined. Heiji raised his eyebrows and grinned. I look pretty good.
Adult Heiji stopped. "Kazuha…"
"Papa." Mamo raised her hands up. Adult Heiji leaned down and carried his daughter, gently removing Kazuha's charm from around the child's neck and handed it to his childhood friend. Kazuha rose and took it, still amazed at how Heiji was going to look in a few years' time.
"You're really Heiji, right? The future Heiji?"
"What do you expect, ahou? No one can look as handsome as this man right here." The teenage Heiji boasted as the two same people shared a grin. Kazuha rolled her eyes.
"Just a tip to you, when Kazuha gets to that stage, ya gotta give her chocolate. Tons of it or else you'll see the other end of the blade." Adult Heiji winked. Teenage Heiji sweat-dropped.
"I am really going to marry her, aren't I?" Heiji asked. Adult Heiji shrugged as he got on the floating car.
"It's up to you. You still have plenty of years to decide. No need to rush. But what I can say is," Adult Heiji looked at Kazuha and smiled. "No matter what time or era, she'll always stay as Kazuha and it'll totally be worth it."
Mamo waved her hand. "Bye mama, papa."
"Goodbye Mamo-chan."
With that, the crew disappeared in a blink of an eye – literally.
Heiji glanced at Kazuha. "Well what?"
"What are we going to do now?" She asked him. Heiji shrugged as he picked up his jacket, shook off the dust and shoved it to her.
"What do you expect, ahou? Of course we're gonna go on with our daily lives, school and detective work." Heiji said in a matter of fact way. Kazuha rolled her eyes again as she slipped his jacket on. But she froze at his next words. "But a few years after university graduation, we're gonna get married, got that?"
Kazuha's face exploded in red as she stood frozen on one spot. Heiji looked back and frowned. "What are you waiting for, ahou? Cat got your tongue?"
"A-are you sure ya wanna marry me?" Kazuha asked him softly. He stared at her and sighed.
He strode over to her and closed the gap between their lips. She squeaked at the contact, but didn't pull away for one, Heiji wouldn't let her. And two, it was kinda nice.
Heiji broke away too soon for her liking and grinned. "That's my sealed promise, ahou. Don't ya dare think of a divorce under my watch."
"I won't." Kazuha promised. He nodded as he took her hand and they walked down the tower. "We will meet Mamo-chan again, won't we?"
"Of course we will. She's our child."
"Thank you, Heiji."
"Eh? What for?"
"It's nothing. Just saying."
Heiji shrugged. "You're welcome then."
Kazuha smiled as she looked forward to the future.
A sneak peek at what the Adult Kazuha found out about her daughter's exploits.
"Heiji, what happened to our daughter?!"
"Jeez Kazuha, you're going to make me deaf. It's a miracle I can still hear."
"Shut up! You were supposed to watch over her for a few hours in the house, making sure she doesn't go too far with her time travelling machine. And do you know what I find? I find our daughter lying in a hospital bed with a bullet wound because you took your eyes off her!"
"I love you?"
"That won't work on me, Heiji!"
"I have chocolates. Dark and vanilla flavor."
"You still look nice even now."
"You think so?"
"Yeah. Although you seemed to have gained some weight around the sides."
"Wha - I did not! Heiji, come back here! You won't get away with this!"
I totally did not plan for this to become an action fanfic! And I did not plan for these plot twists...Apparently my hands and brain have a..ahem, mind of their own. Oh well, I'm glad I got it done… And I hope you liked the suspense of this!
See ya again next time!

IVF and Acupuncture
Reducing the stress and anxiety women feel when undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) is considered important in improving the pregnancy rate in these women.
Acupuncture has shown promise in easing these symptoms, but a new investigation out of Hong Kong suggests a sham version of the treatment may actually be better than the real thing.In a study involving 370 women who were given either real acupuncture or sham acupuncture on the day of embryo transfer, the pregnancy rate was higher in the sham group -- about 55 percent versus about 44 percent.
How can you fake a treatment like acupuncture, which involves sticking needles into specific points in the body? The researchers used a blunted needle that retracted into the needle handle when it was pressed. But pressure was still applied to the skin, giving women the impression they were receiving real acupuncture.
The investigators explain their rather surprising findings in either one of two ways -- it could be that the acupressure delivered by the sham system had a positive effect, or it might be that acupuncture is really associated with worsening pregnancy rates rather than improving them.
The authors believe more study is needed to clarify the role of acupuncture in IFV.

Safety Signs News
West Cornwall builder prosecuted for neglecting workersÂ' welfare
19th April 2013 | Health and Safety Signs
Posted by Ben Alexander
A West Cornwall builder has been prosecuted for neglecting the welfare of his employees at a West Cornwall construction site.
David Lawrance, who was working as a partner for Swiftfix Reinforcement Specialists, was unable to provide adequate washing facilities and rest areas for those operating at a Carbis Bay site between May and July 2012.
Speaking after the hearing, HSE inspector Barry Trudgian, said: "The need to provide running water to wash hands and arms is not a trivial matter on a building site.
"The workmen were pouring concrete and when splashed on the skin this can lead to dermatitis if it is not washed off. Apart from being an unpleasant condition, in some cases it can lead to the loss of use of fingers and hands."
Mr Trudgian explained that site contractors and supervisors have a legal duty to guarantee that adequate facilities are in place for the welfare of workforces when construction work is taking place.

Writer's block. You know what it's like. It's agony. It's you wasting a lot of hours looking at blank paper. Is there a cure for it?
Try some writing prompts. These can come in the form of questions, thought provoking pictures, and other writing exercises that challenge you to think more creatively. My favorite is a book that my cousin gave me. It's called Writer's Block: 786 Ideas to Jump-Start Your Imagination by Jason Rekulak, and it's actually shaped like a block. You can also look for writing prompts on the web.
1. It gives you a starting point for your piece.
2. You can use several writing prompts and make connections between them, so you can come up with something totally unique.
3. You can interpret these writing prompts in several ways. This will challenge you to think outside the box.

Hello, the image on my card is of a stamp issued as part of the Royal Mail stamp set Great British Railways to mark the 50th anniversary of the building of British Rail's last ever steam locomotive, which was the Evening Star (9F Class).
My DIL kindly cut the clock face and bolts with her Eclips for me. We used Core'dinations card and I varnished them instead of sanding because they were a bit "delicate" and a heavy hand would have torn the clock. We think they would have worked better with normal card as the Core'dinations card seemed to 'stretch' whilst being cut.
The hands are from a Tim Holtz idea-ology set and I have distressed all with Old Paper.
I have always loved steam trains, as do my Father and Brother, which being the age I am, are real trains to me. I can remember one summer holiday spent with my Nan down in Lancing when my cousin and I sat on the footbridge of Lancing station breathing in the smuts as the trains went under because we loved the smell. Not very good for our lungs but ... then we rushed up to the Downs and breathed in all the fresh air! Nostalgia!!

By Mike Fletcher, mediaweek.co.uk, 29 February 2012.
A sector in transition, magazines are experimenting with digital platforms and deeper reader engagement. Mike Fletcher speaks to the leading magazine publishers about what is happening, just weeks after the latest ABC figures were posted.
The latest round of ABC magazine circulation results should be consigned to the media vaults and labelled as the final time anyone really cared about print-only readership figures.
For what it's worth, of the 500 free and paid-for titles, only 144 increased circulation year on year. Glamour maintained its hold as the best-selling women's monthly, Take a Break still dominates the women's weeklies despite a 5.1% fall, and Men's Health still outsells other men's magazines in a declining market, that's down 5.2% to 2.1 million readers.
This provides a clear indicator of the current times and a glimpse into the future. It's all you need to know, because the days of poring over combined print circulations of 1.2 billion and assessing how Zoo performed against Nuts is over (IPC's Nuts fell by 19.8% to 114,116 compared with Bauer's Zoo, which fell by 20.4% to 54,599, in case you're still interested.)
The point is that the magazine industry is in a transitional period. Print sales now only tell one side of the story. Publishers are developing their titles as media brands and extending reader relationships across the 'Wild West' landscape of mobile, tablet and web.
Sannah Mullan, trading director at Zenith Optimedia, says: "Take IPC's Marie Claire for example.
"It's available on 11 different platforms and has huge clout as a consumer influencer, but that's not reflected in the current auditing system. Advertisers still rely heavily on display and they're not capitalising on the digital potential, because the engagement data at present just doesn't exist."
It's true that the ABC hasn't allowed publishers to combine print and digital sales into a headline figure before, but the winds of change are finally blowing.
The launch of Apple's Newsstand platform in October last year, along with Yahoo's Livestand app for iPad in November, is redefining how users engage with magazine brands, and the ABC has had to react.
From the next round of ABC reporting, publishers will be able to show their brand-reach across a multitude of platforms for the first time.
James Papworth, marketing director at the PPA, says: "The ABC has launched a multi-platform certificate for individual brands and a group multi-platform certificate to allow a media owner to showcase reach across a sector, market or geographical region."
The ABC claims the new certification will allow media owners to highlight the full scope of their reach, while retaining the ability to view each communication platform separately.
Jerry Wright, chief executive for the ABC, says: "Our multi-platform certificate for brands and groups makes the reporting process clearer and simpler. As brands develop their offerings and have an increasing number of platforms to audit, it makes sense to consolidate the process and ensure all information can be found in one place."
For most publishing companies, the certificate is the start of a new chapter of communicating performance data to advertisers.
Condé Nast believes that if its digital editions had been added to this period's ABC results, which remained flat at 120,094, it would show the company actually grew circulations over the past six months of 2011.
For companies such as Dennis Publishing however, which has been distributing digital editions since the launch of Monkey in 2006, evolution in the auditing system is still a long way behind where it could be.
James Tye, chief executive for Dennis, explains: "The Week is our new flagship app brand and has seen more than 100,000 downloads since it launched on iPad in October. We know the users like it because it regularly gets four- and five-star ratings, which is more important at this time than circulation figures. Our app store ratings are testament to not only the quality of our content, but also the technical delivery.
"The physical newsstand has been in decline for some time now, so the digital newsstand presents massive opportunities. As publishers however, we have to get better at technical delivery and communicating to advertisers the actual reach and engagement of our digital publishing products."
Dennis Publishing currently boasts titles such as Mac User, which has 35% of its overall circulation distributed via iPad users, and Evo, which is growing iPad subscriptions of 6,000 and downloads in the region of 300,000 for its enhanced digital edition.
Tye says: "The numbers are pretty big for us on the Apple Newstand currently, which is gratifying, but our brand creatives are also producing pure apps such as the Viz Profanisaurus, to engage with readers in other ways. We're all evolving into media businesses with multiple digital assets and the auditing evolution process needs to accelerate to reflect this."
According to the PPA's Papworth, the main reasons people still have a healthy appetite for reading magazines is for stimulation, escapism and inspiration.
He says: "Readers have an equal relationship with both the editorial and the advertising because they engage with both in a trusted environment. When you translate a magazine onto digital platforms, the user still has that relationship with the brand, but the ability for richer content means that they're willing to engage for longer. Time has become a measurement, important to advertisers. Publishers therefore are looking for ways to increase time spent with their brands.
"You wouldn't walk out of a film you were enjoying would you? Well, it's the same for a magazine. If there's more content, people will spend longer with the brand and that's an exciting prospect for advertisers."
Bauer Media's Grazia brand understands the need for deeper engagement with its readership.
The fashion magazine recently launched its spring collector's edition to coincide with London Fashion Week and supported it with an online behind-the-scenes documentary TV series, and a social publishing exercise, which allowed readers to comment, influence and vote on the editorial selection process and even choose the front cover.
The social experiment by the print product was accessible across all Grazia platforms, including graziadaily.co.uk, YouTube and Facebook.
Abby Carvosso, managing director of Bauer Magazines lifestyle, says: "The LG Mobile-sponsored Grazia's Fashion Issue… Live! series gave our readers an additional level of exclusive content and demonstrates the depth of interaction advertisers can have with their audiences through Bauer's influential brands."
Paul Keenan chief executive for Bauer Media says: "Magazine publishing is about leading on product over price now. Cover mounts, multi-packing and aggressive price strategies are tactics that won't work for the future of our sector. You need a content strategy and a print plan that goes beyond the printed page. The use of other platforms is vital for building deeper relationships with both readers and advertisers, and Grazia's recent work with LG is an example of where magazines need to be in order to outperform the market."
At the start of the year, Bauer restructured its commercial operations so that its long-standing digital team of 20 were integrated into a 100-strong advertising team, all of whom are responsible for the digital sales of their respective brands.
Keenan states: "It's a journey we all need to be on, so that we can demonstrate to advertisers what suite of activity delivers the best returns and show our more-in-depth understanding of how to build trust while enriching content."
When Keenan talks of the Heat brand, he speaks of creating content that's "sticky" online and getting under the skin of social media, so they can move away from the sheer noise of social networks. Heat has a combined audience on Facebook and Twitter of 369,131, which is greater than its print circulation, currently down 12.1% to 325,370.
When he talks about Empire and its Apple Newsstand version, Keenan speaks of investing in media rich editorial that doesn't overwhelm the reader but provides a more immersive experience.
"Empire's relationship with Disney is now such that when the recent Muppets movie was being filmed, Ms Piggy challenged our readers to a staring contest via an exclusive short film for iPad," Keenan says. "It's these initiatives that prove our understanding of how the sector is evolving."
http://c.brightcove.com/services/viewer/federated_f9?isVid=1Hearst Magazines meanwhile, is successfully developing its titles as "brand ecosystems", according to chief executive Arnaud de Puyfontaine. It's a strategy that Puyfontaine claims is making the company more agile.
Since launching on the Apple Newsstand in October, 10 million users have downloaded Hearst Magazines UK apps, with Cosmopolitan consistently ranked as the number-one, top-grossing brand in the Apple Newstand chart for iPhone.
For the company's recent launch of Women's Health, a digital sampler with seven pages of ads was added to Newsstand apps for Runner's World, Company, Cosmo, Reveal and Red magazines.
De Puyfontaine says: "The consumer magazine sector is one where the advertising remains unobtrusive and shares a trusted reader relationship with editorial. The challenge lies where you have a powerful brand such as Cosmopolitan and there's the potential for multiple points of contact with its audience. We need to protect the trust readers have placed in these brands when distributing content and advertising across new platforms. We are learning as we go along, but it's a journey we are very excited about."
Sylvia Auton chief executive at IPC Media, agrees. She says: ""We continue to extend the reach of our brands to engage with consumers across a variety of platforms including live events, apps, websites and tablet editions.
"As well as launching websites for our print brands, we have also launched print extensions of our online brands, such as Trusted Reviews and GoodtoKnow Recipes. In February, we launched Marie Claire Runway, as a print edition, web channel and as an optimised iPad app.
"IPC Media remains committed to providing our advertising partners best-in-class audience insight and a range of compelling and creative ways to reach our audiences."
Zoe Bale, Carat's head of print planning, says that in the future, this publishers' journey will ultimately change consumer purchasing behaviour, as readers will be able to buy direct from the digital page. Magazine brands will continue to acquire valuable audience insights from digital registrations that will allow them to learn more about their readers buying habits and consumer interests and that, in turn, will enhance both the editorial and advertising decisions of the future.
Bale says: "On mobile, location-based apps will be able to tap into the reader's wants and needs at anytime and any place, so we'll shortly see a lot more of the types of brand extension apps that Glamour has developed around core editorial elements such as hair and make-up advice.
"The challenge for publishers is delivering a consumer experience across digital platforms, which is better than the physical experience. But, with new ways to deliver the product and enhanced ways to measure the brand reach, it's truly an exciting time for magazine owners."

New York Slavery Records Index Is Coming Online
Be on the lookout for press releases later this month about a new resource for researching enslaved African Americans. I am particularly excited about this project because it is under construction by a team of professors and graduate students at my alma mater, the John Jay College of Criminal Justice, City University of New York.
The purpose of the "New York Slavery Records Index" project is to "assemble a searchable index of records of slavery in New York identifying enslaved persons and their owners." The database also includes enslaved persons who "eventually lived outside of New York, such as those who emigrated to Canada after the Revolutionary War."
Search parameters include the first and last names of enslaved persons as well as slaveholders, place or vessel names, and date ranges. The website indicates that the "project will always be a work in progress because new information is always emerging."
At present, one can search more than 35,000 records with dates between 1525 and 1863. For example, I am informed that the developers have indexed records of ownership of ships delivering enslaved people to the Port of New York, and have also identified records of the "Underground Railroad" in New York. "All slave records include the owner identification when it exists."

Dublin Hunter was a Landowner.
We have documented quite a bit about the Free Man of Color named Dublin Hunter (1785-1850?), from whom Garretts, Mills, and Hunters claim descent. This document supplies another piece of the puzzle: James Hunter—a man with the same man as the former slave owner in Dublin's 1819 deed of Manumission—also sold Dublin 21 acres of land on Duncan Creek in 1822. I had not discovered any indication that he was a landowner before coming across the following deed on 9 July 2014 (Laurens Co., South Carolina, Deed Book L, page 45, James Hunter to Dublin Hunter, Laurens County Clerk of the Court):Read More

What is your oldest childhood memory?
I guess walking to high school in Greenville. Walking to Sterling, walking around the corner to my high school. You know previously I'd been riding cause I was in another area. I guess walking to school up to Sterling. I know I loved that. I just thought it was so great. And then with the little boys and all of that. I went to Sterling High School in Greeville [South Carolina]. That's where I grauated from. I started out in Laurens. I remember I didn't like down there. So I can't remember the name of the school.

Interview by Ellen Neely

I had the opportunity to speak to my two cousins about their earlier life and childhood. Recalling the past and asking questions brought interesting conversation.
Bennie Lee Neely, better known as "Ben" was born April 21, 1935. He is the third oldest child of Willie Henry "EC" Neely and Lonnie Bryson-Neely. He was born in the community of Ekom Beach and lived in a small house below Grandpa Neely (J.R.). Ben stated that he remembers when his parents moved to the Hickory Tavern community where his mama's family lived. In an old wagon daddy packed up and moved the family. I remember them putting a brake with a stick attached to a metal piece on the front wheel of the wagon, then the other wheels would drag to slow down or stop when going around curves and down hills. Daddy moved us to the Pitts Farm.

Re: HOW HER PARENTS MET
"My mother's father came from a different type of family. They had what would be called the taxicab concession today; but back then, they were called "drayers." They met every seaboard train. One day a young country boy came in with a box on his shoulder. They asked if he wanted a ride. He didn't have the amount [of money], so he said: 'Let my trunk ride and I'll walk along behind. I'm here to go to school.' He (Mother's father) was so touched that the boy wanted an education that he said: 'Get in. I'll take you.'"

What is your earliest childhood memory?
Riding a mule. When I was coming up we had a mule...three of them. I have been riding mules since I was about 5 or 6 years old. I also had a horse named Texas for 26 years.
What world events had the most impact on you while you were growing up? Did any of them personally affect your family?
Baseball and The Negro Leagues. When Jackie Robinson made it, I felt that one day I would make it. I was about 14 years old when he made it.
How is the world today different from what it was like when you were a child?
More Love...there is no Jim Crow. You get a chance to love everybody. We were taught what to do and what not to do, it was the only way we were going to make it. Most of the time when you respect people they will respect you. Most people respected my dad.

What is your earliest childhood memory?
I used to pick berries and pull cotton (smiles)
We worked on a farm and picked cotton and cleaned things. When things needed to get done the children did it. Ain't no one person did it, we all did it.
Who were your heroes growing up?
I looked up to my parents growing up; I also looked up to my uncle Fredrick, he was a teacher.
What was your favorite music back then?
At that time people started buying children small radios and everybody started getting them. We had one for the whole family. We listened to all kinds of music.

Alan Sillitoe was an integral part of the Angry Young Men movement of the fifties that focused on its authentic depiction of real working class people. This book is true to their ideals in its raw sharp writing of the story of a young man framed by his brutal experience in the army and as a factory worker. Fuelled by a bleak aggressive outlook on life the book centers around a boozy, philandering weekend which is graphically captured by Sillitoe's clever prose and Linus Roache's strong reading.

LONDON (Reuters) - Prime Minister David Cameron's Conservatives have been the most hurt by a string of unflattering disclosures about how and by whom Britain's political parties are funded, a poll showed on Monday, less than three months before a close national election.
The issue has dominated pre-election debate in recent weeks after a scandal about possible tax avoidance at HSBC's Swiss banking arm when it became public that some of the account holders funded the Conservatives or the opposition Labour Party.

"Hi Dave, a couple of images that I feel illustrate some of what I learnt on the day. The square image was composed following a chat with Jan about less is more and focusing in on details. The other (which has a gentle copper tone) is the last image you and I worked on and shows that persistence did pay off I feel. Both were taken at Three Shires (as if I need to tell you!). I hope they are the right size for you. Thanks again.
Kind Regards, Dave"
