text: Endemic to Brazil, the Serra Antwren is in many ways a typical Formicivora, and is distributed from northeast Minas Gerais south to northwest Rio de Janeiro, with two subspecies being generally recognized. Furthermore, the globally threatened Restinga Antwren (Formicivora littoralis), which was described as a subspecies of the present species, but subsequently elevated to species status, appears identical to the Serra Antwren in vocalizations and might be better treated as a subspecies of the Serra Antwren once more. Serra Antwrens are usually observed in pairs or small family groups, which sometimes join small mixed-species flocks of other insectivores, in the understory of semi-humid evergreen forest edges, dry scrub, second-growth woodland, and is even apparently capable of colonizing Eucalyptus plantations.

You know, I really did have grand ideas for this blog this semester, but time defeated me. I even started writing a few intriguing, penetrating cultural studies, but then other things popped up. Like a trip south to Guangzhou for my wife's visa interview, numerous errands related to that, and, well, you get the idea. And the truth is, I just don't have time to write what I want. So let's streamline this process. I've been thinking a lot recently about what I'll miss and won't miss from China. In the past I posted regular lists under the heading "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly," and that worked well enough, so I thought I'd just go ahead and rely on that format. This time, though, I'm putting a twist in it. Instead of "Ugly," we'll have "Your Friendly Survival Tip." Why? First, because there are only so many different riffs a person can compose on pollution and hideous architecture before the whole aesthetic concept of "ugly" starts to seem pointless. Second, I see things all the time that a newbie in China really should know if he/she is to survive. So. . .here we go.
The Good (What I'll Miss)
#1: The food – Many, many moons ago I was in Shandong province, and I taught for a semester with a much older American man who had been in China for a LONG time. Someone asked him once, just before he left, what he would miss about China. He just said, "food." I thought at the time that was awfully superficial, and maybe even insensitive, China being so rich with culture and history. Why would you not say something about the country's glorious heritage, or the wonderfully relational way people act towards each other?! The thing is, what you learn after years in a country rich with culture and history is that on a daily basis you never see the culture or history. Even when it's there. There are certainly still ancient buildings, traditional tea houses, Peking opera theaters, and the like, and those are enchanting for a while, but eventually they stop being enchanting and become part of the landscape. And the virtues you begin by attributing to the local people at large you realize are actually diffused pretty widely across the society, and that the country is in fact filled with individuals who are as unlike as they are alike. Which is how it should be, of course. One of the things I'm happiest about is that I lived in China long enough to know how foolish it is to say "the Chinese" with reference to just about anything. People might have cultural traits in common, but never to the same degree across the board, and never with the same implications. What's deceptively profound about saying you'll miss the food is that a statement like that is precisely what a Chinese person would say if he or she lived overseas for a while. When's the last time you met an ex-pat who said, "What I miss is my country's glorious history and heritage" or "I miss the warm camaraderie of the farmers in my country"? You know what you will hear? "I sure wish I had a plate of dumplings right now" or "I would kill a baby penguin for a change to have a bowl of my mom's noodles tonight." Maybe not a baby penguin, exactly, but you understand the sentiment. So when I say I'm really going to miss the food here, I want you to understand that not as a superficial statement, but as a declaration that, just like a long-term resident of any country, it's the little things that make you look back.
The Bad (What I Won't Miss)
#1 The Pollution – There really is no way to properly express how polluted China is. I've bought several air-filter masks over the course of the last year, and within a week even the best of them–the kind with breathing valves and aluminum clips to seal over the nose–turn a nasty gray color. The air here beats everything into submission. White shoes become dark gray, buildings look like they're several decades old even though they were built last year, and when you wash your hands, the water always turns gray or some other drab color. In fact, if you were to describe how this part of China looks and feels, "drab" wouldn't be a bad word. I'll never forget a trip I took once from Tianjin to Beijing when I was listening to an album by the spooky electronic duo The Knife. I had listened to it a few times and was intrigued, but it was awfully bleak music, so it was hard to identify with. But then I stuck it on when I was taking the train through the countryside during winter, and all of a sudden the music made sense. Hebei and the countryside around Tianjin and Beijing really does look like it's recently been bombed, and in the winter it's the closest thing to a post-apocalyptic landscape that you're likely to see before the actual event. It's horrific. It looks the way frigid Swedish electro sounds. And it goes on forever. Scott and I used to make long-ish distance bike trips (50+ km.) outside of Tianjin, and every time we went it got a little worse. The last time we set out, we rode along what used to be the Grand Canal centuries ago, and which a few years earlier had featured some halfway decent clusters of trees (not really forests so much as planned orchards). This time, though, the entire stretch of trees had been clear-cut, leaving a miles-long beige strip of dirt running from the inter-city expressway to. . .well, coneivably another province. We didn't bike far enough to find out. And in case you're wondering, the recent "airpocalypse" you probably read about (or experienced) was every bit as bad as it sounded. I've never experienced anything like it. Everyone I knew had headaches or sore throats, even if they only went outside for a few minutes. Unreal.
The truly remarkable thing is why I've tolerated it for so long. I can remember commenting wryly in the past, with my circle of friends, about how polluted it was. We never acted horrified or concerned. We mostly just laughed about it, with the unspoken caveat that we couldn't wait to horrify people at home with our stories. It really wasn't until this last year that saying, "Yep, it sure is polluted today!" became a statement of concern. I don't know why it took me so long. I mean really, how ridiculous is it to say, "Yep, it sure is polluted today!" with a grin? That's just like saying, "Yep, there sure is a lot of strychnine in the water supply today!" or "Yep, there sure is a lot of salmonella in this hamburger!" I have no idea why I used to be like that. It's always been bad, although I think in recent years it's gotten worse.
People have had enough, too. Any Chinese people with money are trying to get their kids into schools overseas, and one big reason is because of the pollution. Nobody wants their kids growing up in a place whose air feels like it's been piped in from a coal refinery, especially when anyone with an ounce of common sense knows it's not going to get any better. Don't believe the green-technology hype. If 90% of your nation's waterways are so polluted they're completely unusable, it really doesn't matter what kind of technology you develop. Re-building nature isn't nearly as effective as people like to think, and it also generally doesn't happen. After all, there's just no money in rebuilding nature. Not in the short-term, anyway. Shutting factories down and redoing them with a view towards a healthy, life-giving environment would take many years, and no politician on the planet is willing to risk having the national economy slow to a halt just for something silly like sustainable existence. (That includes American politicians, too, by the way; let's be fair.) But there's significant tension in China over this fact. I've been in China off and on since 2001, and I can tell you right now that people are a lot less optimistic than they used to be. The dominant attitude is beginning to be: "When do we get to reap some of the benefits of all this development?" Real-estate prices are still sky-high, food prices rise precipitately every year, and there still are no reliable health care options for most people. Economic figures are only convincing for so long, and then a person looks outside and says, "That's great that we have such robust economic growth, but I'm still breathing poison and it's getting worse, not better. I really don't think it's worth it." It's not for me, but then that's why it's good I'm leaving now, not later.
Your Friendly Survival Tip #1: Ask Multiple People for Directions
I remembered this when we were asking for directions in Guangzhou. I asked a police officer, who assured me the street I was looking for was on the other side of the city. I asked another person in a magazine store who assured me it was just a few hundred yards away. Marie and I walked a few hundred yards, asked someone else, and that person had no idea. We finally bought a map, had someone in a convenience store point out the place we needed to go, had another person write down the exact name in Chinese, got in a cab, and finally got there. Remember, people, that about 90% of Chinese people will tell you where to go even if they have no idea what they're talking about, because saying "I don't know" in China can look bad. Always, always, ALWAYS ask at least three people, no matter how sure they seem.

Decoding Sample Variability and Deviation CB*~^ˠϮ
Data variability in the field and laboratory is a hot topic. Throughout the project life cycle there are many opportunities to introduce variability and in some cases result in deviating samples. Depending upon the approach of the regulators they may request resampling which comes at a high cost to the consultancy firms. This seminar assesses the key factors that contribute towards data variability and deviating samples. We also provide concise take home messages to ensure meaningful data and avoid costly resampling.

Now this is a wine tasting that makes beautiful sense: Steven Sherman over at William Cross Wine Merchants is hosting the sixth annual ~WINES FOR THANKSGIVING~ tasting. Instead of just tasting some wines, there will actually be a 25-pound turkey on hand for munching while tasting the wines listed below. I love wine tastings here, turkey on hand or not—definitely worth checking out.
Here's more from Steven Sherman:
People often forget that a turkey is a game bird, therefore needing wines that have a bit more flavor and intensity, not to mention the accoutrements that surround the bird.

As a leadership coach, passion is a word I hear often in my conversations with clients. It shows up in in all sorts of ways, but most often sounds something like "I have no idea what I want to do with my life, and I need someone to help me find my passion." After working with dozens of young professionals in the non-profit world, I've found that there are three big myths that keep them from feeling fulfilled and happy in their careers.
Myth #1: Passion is something you do.
Passion has been sold to us as something we're supposed to "do." When that action isn't apparent, you might get caught up in a trap and believe that until it is, you won't be able to make your mark and find career happiness.
Let's take a look at the definition of passion from Merriam Webster: "a strong feeling of enthusiasm or excitement for something." So, if passion is just another word for excitement, then the truth is it's something that you already have right now.
Myth #2: Passion is something that has to be found.
We now know that passion is a feeling and not an action we take. The most incredible thing about this is that feelings already exist in us. Perhaps passion doesn't need to be found, just rediscovered.
Need some help? Ask yourself these questions:
- What were you doing the last time you lost track of time?
- What story could you tell about an event in your life that captures who you truly are?
- If you didn't have to tell anyone what you did or how you earned money, how would you choose to spend your time?
Myth #3: Passions are big bold, world-changing dreams.
The truth is, passion comes in all shapes and sizes. I find that many of us believe that passions have be over the top. Yes, most of us are passionate about real and raw social issues. But when we believe that our passion is only acceptable if it's grand, then it's easy to see how we could be overwhelmed and feel like what we care about is too insignificant or not big enough.
But since passion is just another word for excitement, then there are a million different things we can feel that way about. We are not limited to just one! I am passionate about gender inequality. I'm passionate about helping people. I am also passionate about rescue pups, coffee, and creating vision boards on Pinterest. All of these things make me who I am, and once you know who you are, it makes what you "do" the easy part.
As Oprah once said, "Passion is energy. Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you." How would your world change if you took Oprah's advice and trusted that what excites you is enough and there is no greater passion to be found?

Named after the cigar-smoking and tree-dwelling giant that supposedly roamed the area and called Agta Beach home, Agta Beach Resort quietly opened in the early 1980s after retired public school teachers Mesyong and Pesing Sabitsana welcomed guests to their little piece of paradise.
Agta Beach Resort began with a few tables for daytrippers, but with the sudden influx of tourists to this once sleepy cove, rooms, cottages and a beach house were eventually constructed for those who wanted to experience the laid back Agta Beach Resort lifestyle firsthand.
Already known for its gorgeous sunsets and yummy, must-try roast chicken, Agta Beach Resort is on the rise once again with the addition of a scuba shack that will allow our guests to get up close and personal with our fishy friends.
There are a lot more in the works for Agta Beach Resort and we can't wait to share them all with you!

Australias Upfront Payment Under the Multilateral Debt Relief Initiative
Australia's upfront payment under the multilateral debt relief initiative
Today in South Africa the Treasurer announced a $A136.2 million payment to relieve the debts of some of the world's poorest countries to the World Bank.
Releasing poor countries from unsustainable debt positions is a key part of the plan to reduce poverty. Today's payment fulfils Australia's commitment for the first 10 years of the Multilateral Debt Relief Initiative (MDRI). It reduces the debt burden of heavily indebted poor countries and ensures that the World Bank's work in fighting global poverty is not reduced.
Australia is one of only a handful of countries in the world to have made an up-front payment to the World Bank to cover the costs for the first decade of the MDRI. This payment is in addition to the $A112 million that Australia has already provided to the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for debt relief.
The MDRI will cancel the debts of eligible poor countries to the IMF, World Bank and African Development Bank. Australia was one of the first to support the MDRI and has taken a leading international role in implementing this important initiative.
Today's payment reaffirms the Australian Government's commitment to the fight against global poverty and its longstanding support for the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries initiative that is already providing debt relief to 29 impoverished nations, including 25 African countries.
In 2006-07 Australia will deliver almost $A3 billion in foreign aid, an increase of $A300 million on last financial year.

Look of the day: Meetings all day
Happy Friday, wishing everyone a great weekend ahead. Can you believe it's almost 2018? Time passes so quickly! Last week I wore this look on a day full of meetings, sometimes I'm a bit clueless what I should wear to formal meetings without looking too official and formal, so I kept it a bit casual and simple. Find out more outfit details below.

With dreamy views overlooking cobblestoned streets, this beautiful, 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom penthouse is the ideal base for short or long stays in Buenos Aires. Situated in the heart of Palermo Soho between Plaza Serrano and Plaza Armenia, the location simply could not be better!
The apartment complex is an architectural landmark that combines convenience, style and wonderful open spaces. Surrounded by boutiques and cafés, it reclines on a leafy street and is designed to let light pour in from every direction. A central court provides elevator access to the apartment. Further back, a tranquil garden and in-ground swimming pool rest behind ivy-covered walls. A live-in doorman provides excellent building security.
The penthouse is very bright and comfortable. Floor-to-ceiling windows let in an abundance of natural light and fresh air. The decor features antique, rustic and modern furnishings that are representative of Argentina and several paintings by a local artist. Surfaces are finished in clean, natural materials.
The apartment covers over 1000 sq. ft (100 sq. m). Two en-suite bedrooms are situated on opposite ends to give privacy. In between you will find living, dining, and study areas, an open-plan kitchen, access to a covered balcony and an interior stairwell to the private terrace. It is the perfect floor plan for families with children, couples travelling together and anyone who loves socializing. As a testament to its comfort and functionality, the apartment is often rented for weeks at a time and has several repeat guests who consider it their 'home-away-from-home'.
The living room features a spacious sofa, HDTV with extensive cable package (BBC, CNN, Fox etc.) and a wood-burning fireplace. The dining table has seating for six and a wonderful view. The study area includes a 3-metre work desk and berths for two people, a printer, fax, local phone and Vonage international phones. The international phone has a +1 country code that allows incoming and outgoing calls as if you were located in North America.
The master bedroom includes a King bed with the same mattress set used in top hotels, a HDTV, sheer and blackout curtains and silent hot/ cold air conditioning. Its bathroom has plenty of counter space, a cupboard, toilet, bidet and standard bath/ shower. The second bedroom has two separate Twin beds that can be configured as a Queen with deluxe pillowtop cover. Its bathroom features a toilet and sumptuous marble shower with rainhead and skylight. A baby cot is available upon request.
The kitchen is equipped with gas and electric stove, a convection oven, microwave and has numerous appliances tucked away. High quality stainless steel pots and pans will please the travelling chef, and a Nespresso coffee machine will keep all coffee lovers happy.
This apartment is often rented for its impeccable location; however, its pièce de résistance is the private rooftop terrace that provides stunning panoramic views of the Palermo Soho skyline. It is perfect for sunbathing, crowd gazing and has a large charcoal parrilla (grill) for preparing a traditional asado (BBQ). What more could you want?
Whether your aim is to explore innumerable local boutiques, dine under the stars or sky, trace the footsteps of the barrio's literary past, or simply to relax and get away from it all, this gorgeous apartment will provide you with both the perfect starting point and final destination!

Animal record breakingJackAshby28 June 2012
So far I've been very good at not linking activities at the Grant Museum to the Olympics. While I'm out here on ecological fieldwork in the remote northwest savannahs of northwest Australia, The Games have been very far from my mind. However, the phrase "new record" has been bandied about quite a lot here this month, and now I find myself writing a post that has nothing to do with the Olympics, but I've now already mentioned them three times. I appear to have jumped on the bandwagon of making a spurious link – something that everyone seems to be doing these days. Apologies.
I'm currently working with a small team of ecologists catching animals on wildlife sanctuaries and cattle stations to monitor the effects of cattle and fire management on the ecosystem. This year we've caught a fair few animals in areas in which they've never been seen before. The excitement of being part of these new records is definitely personally valuable, but I've also been thinking about how these single pieces of data are potentially more valuable than all of the other single animals we catch.

Daniel Day-Lewis has a reputation for inhabiting his film characters totally, in mind, body, and spirit. And for Reynolds Woodcock—the fictional, fastidious couturier at the center of Paul Thomas Anderson's Phantom Thread—Day-Lewis was even more invested than usual. He created the character with Anderson and even came up with the designer's name. While Anderson was writing the script, Day-Lewis studied fashion, learning how to cut, drape, and sew—and even re-created a Balenciaga dress on his own.
So when Anderson's longtime collaborator, Oscar-winning costume designer Mark Bridges (The Artist) began work, Day-Lewis already knew how the exacting Woodcock would dress.
"Daniel knows the world of bespoke," Bridges told Vanity Fair, pointing out the actor's background—he grew up in the affluent neighborhood of London's Kensington, as the son of poet Cecil Day-Lewis. "I've discovered, while studying for this film and of course working with Daniel, that it's not unusual for men of a certain status in England to be concerned and aware of their wardrobes. A gentleman would think about the placement of a buttonhole or a kind of fabric."
Day-Lewis plucked costume inspiration from people familiar to him, choosing Reynolds's suits, for example, from Anderson & Sheppard, the Savile Row clothing house established in 1906 that dressed Day-Lewis's father (as well as Cary Grant and Prince Charles). When Bridges and Day-Lewis went to Anderson & Sheppard during one of their wardrobe quests, Bridges noticed that Day-Lewis's own father, wearing his Anderson & Sheppard best, was featured in a book inside the historic store.
"Daniel would refer to people in his life, like we knew gray-flannel slacks would be right because his grandfather always wore the gray flannel with his country clothes," Bridges said. "He knew people who wore their Anderson & Sheppard country blazers"—as Reynolds does at his country house—"for years and years and years. There was a lot of him bringing his knowledge of that English wear to the table, and then us working together to make the pieces feel right for our film and to make sure they were photogenic."
On several days, when Day-Lewis had breaks in his schedule, he and Bridges went shopping together in Mayfair—meeting at Drake's haberdashery or Hilditch & Key to peruse ties. At Budd Shirt Makers, Day-Lewis handpicked a pair of lavender pajamas off the rack—which his character wears in several memorable scenes—as well as a blue pair with red piping. Bridges called the shopping excursions "really fun . . . a highlight of the process."
Day-Lewis, as Reynolds, was drawn to colors in the lavender and purple family—fitting, considering that the character is crafting the House of Woodcock's spring collection during the movie. In addition to choosing the aforementioned pajamas and a gray-lavender bow tie, Day-Lewis selected magenta socks from the historic Gammarelli store in Rome, which is famous for outfitting the Pope and Vatican clergy.
The wardrobe that Bridges and Day-Lewis assembled for Reynolds was placed into the character's closet in the London townhouse where Phantom Thread filmed. Once shooting began, Bridges entrusted Day-Lewis, as Reynolds, with assembling his outfits for scenes.
"I had been with him making all the decisions for the clothes, so I felt like if he wanted to put together certain combinations because that's what he was feeling at the time, then that would be fantastic and unique and help his process," explained Bridges. "He would go in [his character's closet] and emerge in what he was feeling at that given time for the scene."
Day-Lewis assembled his wackiest combination—a tweed jacket over lavender pajamas—for a scene in which his character is appalled to discover that Alma [Vicky Krieps] has disrupted his precise schedule and sent his staff home so that she could surprise him with a home-cooked dinner. A creature of routine who is horrified by this spontaneity, Reynolds slinks downstairs, expressing his displeasure sartorially.
"Paul and I just were really, really pleased that that's what rambled down the stairs for that scene," said Bridges, laughing, as he remembered the crew's shock at seeing this particular wardrobe combination. "It was really fantastic. It's just a personal choice of Reynolds on how he wants to approach this dinner."
Given how method Day-Lewis's process is, the actor also had a small hand in designing the couture gowns his character creates for a society fashion show.
"Daniel as Reynolds Woodcock the designer wanted to have a certain authorship to some of the House of Woodcock creations," explained Bridges. "Oftentimes that would take place with him choosing a color or choosing a fabric or a fabric combination. He would choose that, and it would be like, 'O.K., thanks Reynolds.' We would only get a few minutes with him. Then he would go and work on the enormous amount of work that he had to do in front of camera. [My costume department] would take it from there. We would do the fitting. We would make sure the construction was right, the fit was right, the delivery date was right. He came away from it feeling some connection to it as a couturier would of one of their creations."
"There were a couple of fittings that he came in on as well," added Bridges, including those for Gina McGee, who plays Countess Henrietta Harding. "It was all of us in the fitting room together: me, the cutter, Daniel, Henrietta, and a couple of assistants. . . . I think it was to have the back and forth with that actress who was going to be playing his client and then, also, feeling an element of authorship there, that was so important to his performance."
For Alma's character, Bridges telegraphed her transformation through costume—from the homemade dress she wears on her first date with Reynolds, to the more glamorous couture she wears once she is swept up into the House of Woodcock. (Though in the scenes where she rebels against Reynolds's strict routine, Bridges dressed Alma in clothing that opposed Reynolds's aesthetic.) For Reynold's sister and business partner Cyril, played by Lesley Manville, Bridges took a cue from his research of 1950s fashion houses.
"The concept of Cyril's costume came from reading about Cristóbal Balenciaga's house and how his main saleswoman had an unofficial uniform—navy-blue dress, pearls, and hair tightly put back. I had originally wanted the navy blue on Cyril, but Paul wanted to play up [Manville's] fair English skin and blue eyes, so we settled on charcoal," said Bridges, crediting bespoke London tailor Thomas von Nordheim for creating Cyril's incredible, structured dresses. "With Lesley, I wanted things that seemed elegant and easy and, because she is a very petite woman, to have an unbroken line that would be lengthening on her. She wanted to wear a higher heel, which I think makes her glide in a little more sexy manner, or authoritarian as well."
To ensure that everyone within the House of Woodcock represented the perfectionism of its founder, Bridges said that the Phantom Thread cast underwent rigorous costuming sessions: "Lesley likes to joke that she had more hours of fittings than she had shooting days."

what has caused my clematis to wilt and can i save it
- 10 Jul, 2010
Hi Aston,
I grow about 100 vars of clematis and wilting is my most frustrating issue! Always on the type 2, large flowering clems. There are several possibilities, Clematis Wilt is a fungal disease that is common in the plants and is a result of over hybridisation over the past couple of hundred years. When it strikes there's nothing to do except cut the whole lot off and wait for it to regrow from the roots. It will do this if it is planted nice and deep, but it may take a while. Wilt is not as common as folk think though....more usually the cause is wind damage, slug damage or....drought. Clems are hungry and thirsty plants and in weather like we have had for the last few months, they do need to be watered. Hope this helps, let me know if you have any more queries!

For about a minute, former Louisiana governor and GOP presidential candidate Buddy Roemer suffered a hacked Twitter account. It really upset him while he was eating lunch.
Roemer quickly fixed the problem, but it left him feeling sore. So he decided to wish his misfortune on Newt Gingrich. Why not? After all, what did Buddy Roemer ever do to offend anyone?
Of course, Roemer should be used to a bit of disappointment. He tried to become the Republican presidential nominee, but after being pretty much ignored by everyone, he dropped out in February. Few people noticed.

With weekly launch events for the Burj Downtown area, EMAAR had to find an efficient way of profiling upcoming developments to potential buyers.
Still images, even if they are taken from all possible angles cannot provide the required information for the human brain to understand 3D space. Since we live and move in 3D space, it is hard for people to establish spatial connection between two printed graphics of an apartment.

The new building was state-of the art at that time and featured steam radiator heat, bathrooms on each of the residence floors, a gymnasium/theater, and a swimming pool in the basement. The pool was tiled and of the most modern, sanitary construction according to standards of the 1920s.
When I moved to Vicksburg in the 1980s, the lower two floors were still regularly used for civic functions. The swimming pool was the only one in town with heat for winter use. I do not know the original configuration of the locker room. A ladies changing room had been added, but this would not have existed in the 1920s.
The 3rd and 4th floors were the residence floors, where young gentlemen could rent a modest and clean room for weeks or months. This was a common practice in the early-mid-20th century and was less expensive than staying in a hotel. My father lived in YMCAs in the 1930s and 1940s in Providence, Boston, New York, and other cities for periods of weeks at a time.
Up through the 1970s, it was still common practice for single males newly-hired at the Waterways Experiment Station to live in the "Y" for months or sometimes years. They had to dine somewhere else, a service that was fulfilled by boarding houses in the vicinity. The normal pattern was for the young gent to eventually meet a young lady via church, sports, or club activity, get married, and then move to a suburban house. The gentleman in the photograph below is a former resident.
Another friend and coworker said when he moved to the "Y" in 1968, the rent was $30/month. For breakfast, many of the gents went to Crawley's Pool Hall, which put on a generous spread for $1. In the evening, they ate at the Glass kitchen for a home-style $1 dinner or at other downtown eateries. Every night from 7-9 pm, a basketball game was open to anyone, after which the guys would go out to a bar for a beer. At that time, there were numerous bars downtown.
On our contemporary standards, the residence rooms are tiny, cramped monk's cells with a narrow bed and one electric outlet. The one tiny closet would barely hold our clothes, let alone all the other junk we drag around as part of our modern lifestyle. The rooms were not air-conditioned, but the doors had wood louvers. In hot weather, hall fans provided a constant breeze, and by leaving a window open, a breeze would keep the rooms bearable (on pre-1970s standards).
The Junius Ward residence floors ceased operation between 1978 and 1980. First the upper 33 rooms on the fourth floor were closed and then finally the third floor, the result of increasing competition from apartments around town. With lack of use, this part of the building deteriorated steadily thereafter.
Vicksburg YMCA moved to a new location in 2002 and sold their historic Clay Street building to a Nashville developer, who planned to convert the space to condominiums. The plans never materialized and the building remained unoccupied until about 2003 or 2004, when Keystone Ministries moved in. Pastor James Hartley kindly let me take photographs at that time. The ministry did some renovations but the building needed too many repairs for them to be able to continue. Since about 2006, the building has been unused. Several potential developers have looked, but the cost of renovations has scared them off. Before it could be reoccupied, it would need fireproof stairs, major roof repair and other significant upgrades. It languishes empty, slowly crumbling.

Lucas Cranach the Elder: German painter, etcher and woodcut designer. He was named after Kronach in southern Germany, presumably his place of birth. His early years are obscure, but by c1500, he seems to have settled in Vienna. Here he associated with the humanists of the recently founded university, and two particularly fine portraits, of a university lecturer and his wife, date from this period (Johannes Cuspinian and Anna, both Winterthur, Reinhart Collection). In Vienna Cranach also painted his earliest known religious subjects, of a type which associates him with the Danube School, the paintings usually being set in vast pine woods and mountainous landscapes (e.g. Rest on the Flight into Egypt, 1504, Berlin). By c1505 he had transferred to Wittenberg, securing appointment as court painter to the electors of Saxony. He was ennobled, served as burgomaster for some years, and ran a large and flourishing workshop, which included an apothecary, printing works and bookshop.
In Wittenberg Cranach became close friends with Martin Luther, painting several portraits of him and designing propaganda woodcuts for him. These woodcuts, among the best of his later works, include the illustrations for the first German translation of the New Testament in 1522. His commitment to Protestantism did not, however, preclude him from working for Catholic patrons. A fine portraitist, he appears to have been one of the first to paint, or perhaps was the inventor of, the full-length independent portrait (e.g. The Duke of Saxony and The Duchess, 1514, Dresden, Gemädegalerie), these works pre-dating the earliest Italian examples, such as those by Moretto. Another genre developed by Cranach was that of the erotic nude, particularly popular with the private collectors who formed the bulk of his clientele. Usually in some mythological guise or another, the figures represent nymphs or goddesses, sometimes wearing only a very elaborate plumed hat and some jewellery, calculated to further enhance the nudity (e.g. The Judgement of Paris, c1530, New York, Metropolitan Museum). His paintings are signed with a distinctive winged snake and the monogram LC, although this does not guarantee that the work is not just a shop piece. His two sons, Hans (d 1537) and Lucas the Younger (1515-86), followed his style and continued the family workshop.

I. Addressing HBV-Related Health Disparities in the US
II. Team Approaches to Ensure HBV Vaccination, Testing, and Linkage to Care
III. Interpreting HBV Serological Tests and Determining Treatment Eligibility
IV. Case Studies on Managing Drug Resistance and Patient Monitoring
Compared with the general US population, the prevalence of chronic HBV has been found to be higher among veterans, inmates, and individuals from regions where HBV is endemic. Moreover, persistent gaps in HBV testing, linkage to care, and treatment initiation among high-risk populations contribute to disproportionate rates of cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma, and liver failure. Led by 2 expert faculty, this engaging webcast presents best practices for clinical teams to ensure consistent HBV testing, vaccination, and linkage to care. As part of this interactive, case-based discussion, participants will glean expert insights on the latest evidence supporting HBV treatment decision-making and monitoring to improve patient outcomes.

Oh La La: Chocolat! with Brigitte Mars
The genus name of chocolate, Theobroma derives from the Greek theos, "god," and "broma," "food," thus meaning "food of the gods." The common name chocolate derives from an Aztec name for this plant, chocolatl. Cocoa was the "love tonic" of Montezuma II, who is reputed to have drunk some fifty cups daily before visiting his harem of six hundred women.
In 1502 the returning crew of Columbus brought cacao beans back to Europe, and in 1550 nuns came up with the idea of adding sugar and vanilla, leading to what we now regard as chocolate. During the 1800s, physicians recommended chocolate to boost libido, and to this day it is well known for its ability to inspire passion.
Cacao is considered aphrodisiac, antioxidant, cardiotonic, diuretic, emollient, laxative, nervous system stimulant, and nutritive. Cacao increases levels of serotonin and endorphins in the body. It gives a short-term boost in energy and, when consumed in its whole, raw from, is beneficial for the teeth, as it contains tannins that inhibit dental decay. It also contains phenylethylamine, a compound that is naturally occurring in the brain in trace amounts and is released when we are in love, peaking during orgasm. Cacao also contains theobromine, a compound that dilates the coronary artery, increasing blood flow to the heart. Most commercial chocolates today, however, have a low cacao content and contain sugar and hydrogenated oil. It contains many constituents including Vitamin E, B complex vitamins, chromium, copper, iron, magnesium, phosphorous, potassium, amino acids (arginine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, tyramine, tyrosine), phenylethylamine, anandamide, dopamine, serotonin, xanthines (caffeine, theobromine, trigonelline), flavonoids (epicatechin, catechin, procyanidins), essential oil, sucrose, glucose, mucilage, oleopalmitostearin, tannins, and natural sugars. In its natural form, chocolate is considered bitter, warm, dry, yang, governed by Mars and Uranus and corresponding to the element of Fire.
Raw cacao is one of my muses and how I get so many books written!

Almond Milk
Why settle for a product in an aseptic package that has a shelf life of three years? Choose vitality instead!
1 cup almonds, soaked overnight
1 quart water
1 tablespoon raw honey or 2 dates, soaked 20 minutes
Rinse the nuts in a colander to remove enzyme inhibitors.
Combine all ingredients in a blender and liquefy. Then strain through a sprout bag. Or a paint strainer bag (available at paint or hardware stores) Pulp can be saved to add to casseroles, cookies or other dishes.
Note: These same directions can be used for making cashew, hazelnut, pine nut, sesame, sunflower, walnut, or pumpkin seed milk.
Makes 1 quart.
Oh la la Chocolat! I Scream
1 quart almond milk (You can buy almond milk at natural food stores, but it will be pasteurized and create more packaging)
1/2 cup pitted dates
2 tablespoons raw cacao powder
1 banana
Place everything in the blender. Blend and chill for 1 hour. Place everything in an ice cream maker and process till frozen.

TV Data
Television coverage of the 2006 FIFA World Cup™ was the most extensive to date with 376 channels showing the event compared to 232 in 2002. What is more, the 2006 event was aired in a total 43,600 broadcasts across 214 countries and territories in 2006, generating total coverage of 73,072 hours - an increase of 76 percent on the 2002 event (41,435 hfours) and a 148 percent increase on 1998. This means that if all the 2006 coverage were shown on just one channel, it would take over eight years to broadcast non-stop.
The 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany had a total cumulative television audience of 26.29 billion (24.2 billion in-home and 2.1 billion out-of-home viewers). This is on a par with the 1998 event, which like 2006 was also staged in Europe, but a little below the 26.4 billion in-home viewers noted for the 2002 FIFA World Cup in Korea and Japan. Unsurprisingly, the most-watched match was the final Italy - France with a global cumulative audience of 715.1 million viewers.
This 2006 report was commissioned by FIFA's television partner, Infront Sports & Media, and compiled by Sponsorship Intelligence, a subsidiary of Publicis Groupe. It confirms the competition's status as the world's most popular event that has sustained robust worldwide viewing levels at a time when most programme genres are suffering a downturn in market share. FIFA has adopted a more rigorous approach as regards the compilation of TV figures and this report is consequently based on more audited data than ever before.
Asia was once again the region to contribute the highest share of television audience with its 8.28 billion in-home viewers accounting for 32.2% of the global total. However, the total cumulative audience fell by 25.7 percent in 2006. This decline in viewer numbers is not surprising when viewed in the correct context. The 2002 event was staged in two Asian territories (Japan and South Korea) and kick-off times for live matches were consequently during prime viewing hours across most of the region whereas live matches in 2006 were shown mostly after midnight. Secondly, China - which accounts for approximately one-fifth of the total global audience - qualified for the finals for a historic first time in 2002 but failed to qualify in 2006.
These circumstances explain the nine percent fall in the global cumulative audience in 2006.
By contrast Europe - where the matches were broadcast during prime time viewing - registered a 29.6% increase in viewers over 2002. While this undoubtedly reflects the more accessible timing of matches for the European audience compared to 2002, it nevertheless confirms the unparalleled stature of the event in this highly developed and media-saturated region.
The United States produced some very encouraging scores that underline football's growing popularity in the country. The cumulative audience jumped 38.9% over 2002, coverage surged 221% to 1,889 hours and the number of broadcasters doubled to 13 in 2006. Univision's broadcast of Argentina v Mexico was the most-viewed sports telecast in the history of U.S. Spanish-language television with 6.7 million viewers.
Key findings at a glance
- TV coverage in 214 countries generated over 73,000 hours of dedicated programming, a significant 76.4% increase over 2002.
- The 2006 FIFA World Cup produced 43,600 dedicated television broadcasts worldwide.
- An increasingly fragmented TV market saw 2006 FIFA World Cup broadcasts on 376 channels, a vast increase over the 232 broadcasting channels in 2002.
- The increased fragmentation of television broadcasting has also lead to a shift in the proportion of overall coverage represented by each of the broadcast types. In 2002, almost 70% of all TV coverage was of live action whereas just over half of all coverage of 2006 FIFA World Cup was live.
- A cumulative audience, in-home and out-of-home, of 26.29 billion viewers.
- Asia contributed the highest share of the overall cumulative television audience, 8.28 billion in-home viewers, 34.2% of the global total.
- The largest single market contributor was China, which accounted for 3.98 billion viewers, followed by Brazil, Vietnam and Germany.
- European cumulative audience was 5.33 billion in 2006, up 29.6%, with host Germany and winner Italy accounting for 31.5% of the region's total.
- 2006 FIFA World Cup coverage across Africa saw a massive 131.5% increase over 2002, up from 7,475 hours to 17,301.
- The Final between Italy and France was followed by 0.8 million more French viewers than watched France triumph in 1998.
- In Europe there were 76.3% more broadcast hours than in 2002.
- Total hours of 2006 FIFA World Cup coverage increased over 2002 in all regions, most significantly across Africa, Oceania, Asia and Europe.
- Each of the 64 matches received on average 858 hours of dedicated coverage and drew an audience of 259.9 million viewers.
- The top match, in terms of coverage and audience, was the Final between Italy and France, totalling 1,882 hours of coverage and 607.9 million in-home viewers.
- The highest television rating, of 56.6%, was recorded in the Netherlands for their national side's defeat to Portugal in the Round of 16.
- The highest single audience was recorded in China at 71.5 million viewers, for the group match between Japan and Croatia.
- Hosts of the next FIFA World Cup, South Africa, enjoyed more 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany coverage than any other African market, with the cable/satellite network, SuperSport, showing a total of 1,627 hours of coverage on its five channels.
- The cumulative audience in Brazil increased from 1.35 billion in 2002 to 1.72 billion in 2006 (+27.8%) despite the fact that the 2002 FIFA World Cup was won by Brazil and 2006 the national team were knocked out in the quarter final stages.
- In Northern America & Caribbean there was 39.1% more coverage - 10,580 hours in 2006 versus 7,605 hours in 2002.
- The cumulative audience in Northern America & Caribbean was 829.1 million viewers - this represents a 76.8% increase over the 2002 total.

Fully equipped with special instruments for observing solar eclipses members of the LEAP team met to record this celestial event in St George's Park this morning with the aid of not one - but three precision tuned colanders. This fly-eye approach to looking at things happening to the Sun may not be at the cutting edge of cosmology but we are happy with the result all the same. For those unfamiliar with the technology each circle is a reflection of the Sun with the Moon shadow across it. The pictures also pick up the enchanting if slightly disturbing quality of light experienced during eclipses. The birds were very quiet too.

RECIPE OF THE MONTH - March, 2017
Grandma's Creamy Confetti BBQ Cole Slaw
I know what you're saying, this isn't BBQ!! But we all know that cole slaw and BBQ go together like Ham & Eggs!! Particularly Southeastern BBQ. It's tradition. We also know that most BBQ cole slaws are generally "vinegar" and "sugar" based.
For me, the usual vinegar and sugar based cole slaw recipes are boring, one-note and just plain uninteresting!! I mean, on a
Carolina Pulled Pork Sandwich, traditional Coles slaw makes it vinegar on vinegar on vinegar. In addition,
a lot
of BBQ Sauces, in general are vinegar and sugar based too!! AND some of the "mops" you are using are vinegar based too. So no matter what kind of BBQ you are
there it
a lot
involved from
At some point you just have to say enough is enough!! Why not smooth that tart taste out and give your taste buds something more balanced. My mother, who has been making this recipe for years, in my opinion has it nailed. Creamy, interesting cole slaw and it goes with BBQ famously. It works with Brisket, Pork, Ribs, and chicken in any form!! Put it on a Carolina-style pulled pork sandwich or a brisket sandwich and taste the difference the creamy balance provides. The
addition of a little vinegar and some tomatoes bring a bit of acidity to the slaw to brighten it up and the black pepper gives it even more pop. BUT the usual watery vinegar bomb? NO Way!!
The rest is up to the balance of your own BBQ and the meat that you are cooking.
With summer on it's way, you will need a great cole slaw recipe!! Try this one and you'll be amazed!!
1 head of Green Cabbage (halved, core removed and then sliced as thin as you can with big chunks remove.
1/2 head of Red Cabbage (halved, core removed and then sliced as thin as you can with big chunks removed.
2 medium Tomatoes diced.
1/2 Red Onion sliced thin.
1 Cup, Real Mayonnaise (DO NOT use the mayo that says: "salad dressing")
1 Tbs of Red Wine Vinegar.
Pinch Salt and lots of Black Pepper.
Smoker Set up:
Set up for whatever you are making with the Cole Slaw
Chefs Directions:
MIx all ingredients in a large bowl with a set of tongs.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Taste and adjust the seasonings as appropriate.
HINT: Go easy on the salt. The vinegar will enhance the salty flavor.
Serve WITH or directly ON BBQ of your choice.
You will taste the magic immediately!! Try some of your own variations!! Enjoy!!
