Outstanding value for a Luxury SUV
By YYZOwner on Friday, May 18, 2018Own a 2017 T6 Momentum Plus kitted with the Climate and Vision pkgs. Outstanding value for money. Compared the Q7, MDX and QX60 when making the purchase. The XC90 is way better on all counts, especially room in the 3rd row of seats. The 4 cyl eng does sound a bit droney but have never felt it lack power. The Start/Stop function is the only issue I have with the car - seemed to have a mind of its own; did not always work as intended. Have been to the shop a couple of times to repair it, the second time they seem to have fixed it, but it is still not perfect. That being said, it is a minor quibble - overall, extremely happy with the vehicle!

Outstanding vehicle in almost every respect
By Mike from SC Lowcountry on Sunday, October 30, 2016We love the 2016 XC 90 Inscription First Edition. This is our fourth Volvo -- including the XC 70 we still own. The ride is impressive, the interior layout and functionality are excellent, and the exterior styling is unmatched. The touch screen controls are easy to use once you become familiar with the technology. We did experience some initial software bugs however once the dealer did a total replacement we've been fine.We attributed that experience to the fact we were early adopters. We've traveled extensively (hence the almost 30K miles in a little over a year) and love the highway and local handling. Highly recommend the rear air suspension stabilizer option. We've had the vehicle in all types of weather from a Northeast winter (prior to relocating) to the hot summer -- and recent high water due to Hurricane Matthew. We just raised the ride with the selector. Volvo has a winner in the technology and performance category leadership of this SUV. I'd rate it a full 10/10 but for the initial bug workouts. In each case the NJ dealer was great.

First Volvo after over 40 years of driving
By TDR on Tuesday, February 13, 2018If you are looking for a three row SUV look no further that the Volvo XC-90. We had decided to check out a few different brands and models (Lexus, Mercedes, Cadillac, Infinity, Acura) but when we checked this one out we knew there was no need to look any further. We found out you get more standard equipment for your money and even loaded it cost less than almost everything else in the category that we looked at. Did I say the safety equipment is second to none compared to anything else on the highway. Volvos goal is no serious injuries or deaths while driving or riding in any of their vehicles by 2025. We have a 2018 T6 Inscription and really are glad we bought it. We are coming from a 2017 Audi Q7 Prestige and just kept having little problems with it until one day while making a left turn across two oncoming lanes of traffic it decided to completely brake. That was it, so we decided it was time to move on after two years. The only thing the Q7 had over this vehicle is it had a little more power, 333 hp vs 316 hp but really is not that noticeable. If you are looking for a new SUV, mid size or larger, this vehicle is at least worth a test drive.

–Can I really be this close? __Fred Baker
Beginning November 1, the rain came down. Western Oregon's long wet season had arrived, the near-daily precipitation that keeps the area green and the natives' feet webbed. Memories of childhood returned. Mom's green blanket with a golden "O" in the center, representing the University of Oregon. The song she taught us:
Be kind to your webfooted friends,
For a duck may be somebody's mo-o-other.
Not every state university has a mallard for a mascot. Mom had been born and raised here; her father had at one time headed the University's English Department until his demotion and is to this day considered the Father of Athletics at the U. Granddad had been a Presbyterian. Once, a student–out of class–asked him what he thought of the Immaculate Conception. His answer was apparently less than satisfactory; when the fallout settled to earth, he found himself popular with numerous correspondents but demoted in his job. After his death, they named a baseball field in his honor. I never met the man. He translated (died) via cancer before my time. Still, he influenced me. This had been his chosen place to live, to make his mark, and here would my spiritual search finally bear fruit.
In the meantime, basketball season arrived. Our office sponsored a fine team coached by Assistant Manager Barry, who led us to defeat after enthusiastic defeat. We never won, yet we never lost heart.
By February, we had snatched such defeats from the jaws of victory nine times in a row–one full cycle. December had duck-waddled in and out. January ignored the rain with its usual calm, and voila! 1974 was officially under way. February, however, planned secret plans. One night came a dream…
The trail to the river is broad and dusty. The way home–toward Spokane, which feels like home–must be upriver. Turn left at water's edge, follow the current home? Yes–it's probably that way, but impossible to be sure. What to do? For a time I wait, determined yet unsure.
Ah. Coming donw the trail–a car? Yes. A car. An old vintage machine, like a Model T all spruced up in shiny black paint for an antique show. I know the driver of that car will know which way to turn….
Late the following morning, a trim fellow in his early sixties arrives at the office. It is our first meeting in person, though we have talked several times by phone. Ray owns an insurance agency in a town some sixty miles from Eugene but feels the time has come to meet his newest underwriter to work out a specific insurance program for a client who makes a living as a logging contractor.
He admits in regard to the his client, "I don't understand him. He came out of eastern Europe as a refugee. He has more hard won education, more intelligence–more just plain class than his heredity or his environment would account for."
I pause in my calculations. "Have you tried reincarnation?"
At this, Ray realizes he is talking with someone other than the average desk underwriter. He merely smiles, however, and acknowledges, "You might be right."
For several minutes, the conversation digresses from insurance forms and pricing to life forms and the cycles of experience as one travels through the long rounds of life after life after life. Finally, Ray looks me straight in the face and asks, "Well, now that you've got reincarnation figured out, how would you like to get off the wheel?"
If my ears had wings, I'd still be flying. More than a year ago, people had derided my freedom-in-this-lifetime goal as impossible to attain. Ray hasn't even heard about that goal yet–and has just asked if I want the means to achieve it!
We spend forty-five minutes of office time and an hour long lunch break discussing Eckankar, the Ancient Science of Soul Travel. The information pours into me as fresh-pumped well water into a thirsty bucket. Much of it vanishes beyond recall in the excitement of the moment, but here and there an item stays on the surface to delight the conscious mind.
"Eckankar is a direct path to God," Ray declares quietly. "The Eck, or Spirit, is the voice of God, and the ringing melodies you hear are simply the Eck in action."
He mentions that an agent of God lives on Earth today. Only one? I ponder, reminded of the billions of Souls on the planet. Then the old Texas Ranger story comes to mind: A Sheriff once sent an urgent plea to Ranger Headquarters for help in handling a mob in his small Texas town. At length, one Ranger came riding in.
"They only sent one Ranger?" Cried the Sheriff cried in dismay.
"There's only one riot, isn't there?"
Perhaps one Godman is enough after all, I think. My world has changed. That night at home, I lie floating blissfully somewhere above the bedcovers, thinking ahead to Ray's next trip to Eugene when he will bring along a book on Eckankar, one written by Paul Twitchell. One thought runs through me in ceaseless, wondering repetition:
Can I be this close? Can I really be this close?
For our readers who may not recognize words like Eckankar or Eck, the definitions can be found in A Glossary of Eck Terms at Eckankar.org.

Forgive me but I felt the urge to pat myself on the back.
When I first began my marketing career in April 2004, I was excited that the email newsletter I was producing for my then employer was being seen by 25,000 subscribers across the world. Later, when I began creating web content for the same company, I was thrilled that my marketing efforts were being seen by over 45,000 customers a day.
I have now graduated to a higher level of marketing… Beginning next week, my copy and marketing efforts will be heard by 3 million people a day!
My current employer is a national celebrity and has his own radio talk show devoted to money management. Next week his voice will carry the words I wrote for him to the ears of 3 million people! This is certainly exciting as it gives me another bragging point on my resume.

How to Reconnect with Your Creative, Find Goodness & Discover Balance
In the midst of what has become one of the most impressionable times of my life, I've heard from so many people, be them friends, family, neighbors or clients, that they are tapped OUT. No matter the age, the Universe has dealt us a hand that we have collectively come to realize we are not even remotely equipped to play. Commiseration abounds, and we see from every corner of the world chaos and a general freaking out if you will.
Our global nervous system is shot. Surprisingly however, while all this hysteria, mass consumption, mass media and mass saturation of all kinds surround our daily lives, there are some of the most brilliant, innovative, tech savvy and uber creative artists, services, products, concepts, designs and ideas busting out so fast I can't even fathom if I'll ever wrap myself around half of them, let alone know about them all. What I do know, according to me, is the essential core of relief and escape from any earthly madness is reconnecting with your inner voice, that vibration of creativity and simple, pure, non-judgemental GOODNESS. In being "good" we can also be selfish and self-actualizing, self centered even. We can seek to be supremely fulfilled without the cost of our emotional and communal well being – you can tap back IN.
It's a Misnomer...
… that to be good inside, to seek balance and harmony in any given day, means that you toss to the winds any ego-driven desires or the innate hunger to obtain something, be it modest or grand. Not true. As a matter of fact, that animal desire, the lusting for whatever charges your boundless wants is powerful and for many, drives the passion for success. What can cause some issues for you is the blinding, unmeasured, untethered, and rabid acquisition of more for the sake of more. This fever to hurry, rush and acquire can leave the mind and the body painfully dry, empty of purpose, and longing for an opportunity to nourish the psyche with some of that goodness, to feel bound back together – even for just a little while. So how do we reclaim that inner sense of creativity and curiosity we all know we have in us? How do we maintain our responsibility to our clients, our employers, our partners and our kids, while reaching in and pulling up to the surface our light and our goodness? I thought on it and I came up with elements that give way to tapping back in;
Gotta' Make Time.
If we never choose to commit any actual time to the creating part of our lives, then guess what? Nothing will ever get created. This seem oddly obvious, but the monkey brain in our heads that takes off running most every day, is what syphons our energy and therefore, our precious time.
The old school thinking of relative "time" ticking away isn't the deal, the fact of the matter is, we do not prioritize well. Saying , "I'm not making my creativity a priority because…" and the reasons can be as long and as clustered as you can imagine. Choose to set aside thirty minutes a day for doing nothing but free-flow writing, cooking, taking photos of the kids, or Rover or even Fee Fee the kitty; anything that is not what you consider WORK. If you are honest and genuinely do this, you will experience a shift in how creative you really are. Not just in those small pockets of time you allowed yourself, but you'll discover the creative vibe move into other aspects of your life. I'm doing this, mindfully acting on it and believe me, its pretty amazing what you can do when you consciously make the time to spark.
Focus People Focus!
We are in an age of super saturation, a generation of input overload! Our society is completely spazzed, everyone taking on dozens of different projects, managing often multiple jobs to keep it all together, and with all this mass must-do-more insanity, our focus is spread so thin, we find at the end of the day we haven't really gotten very far with anything and our sense of goodness and being complete is gone. Then the spiral of worry kicks in, a gnawing belief that you're not very capable, definitely must not be creative, and well, there we go…
I love my concept projects, but when I try doing all of them all at the same time? Uh, not the greatest results. Especially those of us who juggle alot for our families or our own businesses, it's simply a train wreck expecting yourself to accomplish all things, all the time, incredibly well without FOCUS. Someone in the yoga scene recently drove this home for me; choose the one project you most want to initiate and complete, then give yourself an hour or two a day and NOTHING ELSE for that period of time, completely eliminating all other distractions (yes, that means turn off the phone and Facebook notification!). If you are like me, and convinced you can do all things equally well while multi tasking, finding how creative and ultra productive you've been when you truly honed your focus is liberating.
So Let Me Tell You About This Idea I Have…
Creativity starts with ideas. Without them there is no place to start from. Feeling like you are not an idea person or are not the creative type is just silly. We all have the capacity to generate wonderful, insightful and useful ideas, we can each tap into a place where creativity lies- that's not it. The issue isn't lack of ideas or inspiration, we all have them bouncing off our smart phones and iPads… so what it is then? We're not capturing them the moment they pop into our overcrowded little heads. We say to ourselves, "Oh, that's a really cool idea, I definitely want to get that going, but damn, I'm up to my frigging bum in this job already, I'll remember it later." But we don't. We go on about our mania of the moment. We don't remember unless we WRITE IT DOWN. Seriously, this is super easy to do; get a spiral notebook, set it right on top of your desk, your kitchen counter, in the bathroom – where ever you are, and write that idea down. Capture it as fully as you can in that moment, then close the cover and go back to your crazy day. Pin it on a board or tape it to the wall if you'd like, just put it down as soon as you think of it. Funny thing is, with this basic practice of writing it down, soon you'll notice how often you are jotting ideas in the notebook and before you know it, you are creatively focused on making it happen. You are acting on it.
Turn In Your Permission Slip Please.
OK, so now this is the most crucial point in the creative process in my opinion, at least it has been for me. Giving yourself permission to have the inner sense, the focus, the endless ideas and to act on them creatively, for me-myself-and-I is HUGE. Without feeling you have permission to let your creative stuff do what it does so well, your creative Self just sits and stirs, twisted, frustrated and muffled, wanting to be expressed but holding off until you give it permission to expand and open up. What comes from this if you don't, even in the tiniest of ways, is layer upon layer of resentment and that filters into all your personal and professional relationships. Stop what you are doing, and really pay attention. This denial of expression isn't obvious, and that's where we end up, all coiled and contorted with loads of useless stress. Give yourself the permission to be expressive, find a place to be just with you and your ideas, and let the creativity flow and thrive. It won't happen instantaneously, but it will happen if you choose to bring it into your realm of possibilities.
Lean On Me.
So much of what we do in a given day is on behalf of our stedfast sense of responsibility to everyone around us. Rarely do we feel we have the support we need, often times feeling isolated from anyone understanding what we are doing or where we are in the process. What I have done recently is opened the pathways to groups and a community of like-minded types to chat and share our projects, obstacles we're encountering, tools and strategies to be more productive, channeled, balanced and again, supported. The benefit for me is it has allowed me to be the one doing the supporting which, by virtue of the relationship, I gain so much for having done so. By allowing more creative people in, I become more creative, and so my goodness fills up.
So that's my take on how we can recover from being tapped out and bring it back around to feel creative, focused, nurtured and supported in all aspects of what we do. Stepping away from the chaos and allowing a sense of creative move in is super empowering and releases a mass of inner hysteria that reflects back to us in a less reactive sort of way. There is too much to take in, too much to manage and far too much to compete with as it is, so flowing with some of those creative juices and instincts can certainly lighten up your day. Go ahead, act on it and see.

The General Congregation has been able to coordinate
very well the development of the Pious Schools in Africa. Not only among the Piarist Fathers, but also among the Piarist Sisters
and Calasanzian Sisters .Therefore, the General Congregation decided to try the same thing in Asia, although the foundations
in India and the Philippines are a reality only at the starting point. In May 1996, we have the first meeting of Piarist Fathers
in Aroor, India. To that meeting were present: Fr. General, Fr. Jesus Lecea (Delegate General for the Missions), Fr. Placido
Menditto, Argentine Provincial, from whom the Indian foundation depends, Fr. Ricardo Moreno, from Argentine, Fr. Jose Alfaro,
responsible of Aroor, Fr. Imanol Lasquibar, General Delegate from Japan-Philippines and Fr. German Lumbreras, from Japan.
During several days they meet under the hot weather, more than regular does during those days, and they talk about the future
of the Piarists in Asia. A fruit of this meeting is the pamphlet Witnesses of Jesus
and Disciples of Calasanz in Asia. On it there are some instructions: we go to learn, inculturation, to serve the poor
children, vocations and formation, possibility of cooperating among the different foundations. For the moment, the realities
are in the first stage and we cannot talk about cooperation.
During the General Chapter of 1997, there is a meeting
in Rome to exchange opinions about the future in Asia.
The first days of May, 1998, there is another meeting
in Aroor. The members of the group are: Fr. General and Fr. Lecea for the General Congregation; Fr Menditto, Fr. Alfaro and Fr. Jose Marco, for Argentine; Fr. Jose Burgues
and Fr. Lorenczo Errandonea, for Japan-Philippines. Fr. Fernando Negro, Master of Novices from Cameroon, takes part, too,
where three young Indians have made the Novitiate and where another five will go soon. The meeting was held in Aroor, because
during this time is inaugurated the second building or Postulancy of the house, and besides that, the first three Indian novices
are going to make their first Profession. In the meeting comes out again the themes of the Document of Aroor, written in 1995.
We talk, above everything, about the vocational pastoral and initial education; about the orientation of our works and about
the coordination in an Asian level, and other questions such as printings in English and the presence of volunteers. It seems
that it is not easy, so far, to carry out the project of a common formation of our candidates.
Anyway, the
good will of meeting yearly in different countries, remains, in order to exchange information and to help ourselves in the
English publication; but it is going to be difficult to go further. Really, India is a different world that has very little
in common with the Pacific zone. The diversity in Asia seems to be much bigger than the one that exists among the African
countries where the Piarists are. Anyway, the future is open.

Chanel Espadrilles
Last spring I was obsessed with getting a pair of black mesh Chanel espadrilles. I was so enamored with these shoes that nothing could stop me from buying them. The espadrilles were in high demand, but I was lucky enough to snag the very last pair in my size at the Chanel shop in Manhattan near 5th, where I have always had a wonderful shopping experience.
Yes, the shoes are crazy expensive but when you factor in cost per wear they are relatively inexpensive. I wore them nonstop last spring/summer and have already taken them back out of the closet for several wears while recently in South Florida. This season's version has a thicker sole that makes these fabulous shoes just that much better.
The leather and mesh version from last year was perfect for hot summer days and this season I've got my eye on the all canvas version in a classic Chanel black and white version. Check out your local Chanel boutique to see what's available near you if you love this shoes style as much as I do…or try out this very similar version for one-tenth of the price. But either way get yourself a pair of espadrilles for the spring and summer. You won't regret this classic shoe style that will quickly become your go-to warm weather shoe.

The Only 4 Moves You Need For A Strong Core
These crunching (core) exercises are excellent for core strength, midline stability, and development of the abs and lower back.
1. Swing Ups
Start lying faceup on the floor with the bottoms of your feet touching and your knees bent and dropped to the side in a "butterfly" position. Extend your arms overhead so they are resting on the floor.
Swing your arms up and forward in an arc over and past your head, using the momentum to raise your shoulders and torso off the floor. Keeping your back straight and your elbows extended, touch your toes with your fingertips.
Keeping your elbows extended, reverse the motion as you lower your torso and shoulders back to the floor.
2. Plank
Start in a facedown position, propped up on your elbows, with your elbows aligned directly beneath your shoulders and your forearms resting on the floor. Your knees should be fully extended and your toes on the floor.
Squeeze your glutes, draw your belly button in toward your spine and raise your hips approximately one foot above the floor. Your body should be rigid and elevated from heels to shoulders. Hold the position as long as you can. Lower hips to the ground when you need to rest.
3. Twisters
Start lying faceup on the floor, holding your legs in the air perpendicular to the floor, your legs straight, and your arms extended outward like wings resting on the floor.
Keeping your shoulders and arms anchored to the floor and your legs together, swing your legs over to your left side. Touch your left foot to the floor to mark a complete repetition.
Keeping your shoulders and arms anchored to the floor and your legs together, bring your legs 180 degrees over to your right side. Touch your right foot to the floor to mark another repetition. Return your legs to the starting position.
4. Knees To Elbows
Start lying faceup on the floor with your arms extended overhead, hands and heels touching the floor.
In one movement, draw your knees up toward your chest and your elbows down toward your hips, crunching upward with your torso so your buttocks and shoulders lift off the floor. Touch your elbows to your knees.
Extend your legs all the way back downward and your arms all the way back overhead. Touch your heels and the backs of your hands to the floor, returning to the starting position.

For my final finish, I was able to do my husband's quilt. I worked on it several times over the last couple of years (here, here and here are a few) and I finally finished the binding on Christmas Eve. I had just enough time to write up some final thoughts in a note for Rhett and put it under the tree.
Thanks again to Melissa and Shanna for such a fun program! I appreciate all the hard work and hours you put into this project for us.

"Magic mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?"Guess you all know that line, don't you? Yes, you're right. It's from The 'Snow White" story and by any chance, it's my youngest daughter's favorite Disney princess. She even has a picture of her in Snow White costume. Not to mention, she has watched its movie over and over again.
So, to keep my promise making pillow for each of my children, I made this felt Snow White pillow for my youngest daughter.
It's made of felt and hand-sewn. It took 3 cups of coffee and a whole day for me to finish it. I thought it'd be finished faster than the other craft I made before. Because for this pillow, I had planned everything in advanced but turned out, in the middle, I kept adding this and that. I just can't stop myself when I'm already in the middle of creativity process. I'm so into making craft, you know. It's just like finding your soul mate.
Enough blabbing. It's time to bring out the proof .... So, here it is ...
|Handmade Snow White felt pillow
|Aren't they both adorable?
|waiting for my daughter to come home from school.
That's it! I hope you enjoy it.

Happy crafting!

Ok, remember when I said I had a doily in mind using the Enterprise? Well, I have begun making it. I started March 17, and wow.. it is slow going, but for a reason. I am making the planet Earth in tatting for the Enterprise to be orbiting. I started with the continents..North and South America. I did them in green variegated. These were in normal rings and chains. Then I started filling in the oceans.. with mignonette stitches. Very close together mignonettes. Really, it sort of looks like fabric. (Pictures later) I actually ran out of thread on the oceans and had to order more. So, the Earth will have to wait for a couple of days.
In the meantime, I have started a necklace. The only clue to this one is...Harry Potter. I am going to be in a Harry Potter swap on Ravelry starting next month, and it has put me in the HP mood. I don't think my swap partner will be getting a duplicate necklace, though. It may have to be a one of a kind. But, if it turns out nicely, I will enter it in the fair this summer. Wish me luck in my projects!

Last year at the Tokyo Game Show, Square Enix announced a "remake" of Final Fantasy X for the PS Vita and the PS3. Though many took this wording literally, many others assumed that this would continue the trend of remastering classics in HD.
This seems to have been the proper way of thinking, as Square Enix's Shinji Hashimoto has confirmed that the upcoming title will be a "remaster" instead of a full remake.
"It's being developed as an HD Remaster, but the visuals will be much more beautiful than before," he told GNN at the recent Taipei Game Show.
It is expected that many fans will be very disappointed since it was announced as a "remake" last year. However, an HD remastered version with highly advanced visuals is still something all fans of the original can look forward to, as well as fans who missed out on this classic the first time around.

Facials refers to a treatment for the face. A facial mask is a creamy paste (or gel) or a sheet applied to the entire, already-cleansed face.
Our luxury facial masks contain minerals, vitamins, essential oils, and/or fruit extracts (e.g., cactus, cucumber, etc.)
There are different kinds of masks for different purposes: deep-cleansing, by penetrating the pores; healing acne scars or hyper-pigmentation; brightening, for a gradual illumination of the skin tone. We will ascertain your skin type before we start your facial.
Some masks are designed to dry or solidify on the face, others just remain wet. The effects of our facial mask treatments include revitalizing, healing, or refreshing; and, may yield temporary or long-term benefits (depending on environmental, dietary, and other skincare factors).

Who was Nicolae Titulescu?
By Professor Richard Pankhurst
March 05 2010
Mussolinis invasion of Ethiopia at the beginning of October 1935 was a turning-point not only in Ethiopian history, but also in the history of the then League of Nations. That international body, which had its permanent headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, was, you will recall, dear Reader, the precursor of the present United Nations Organisation, and had been founded in 1919, at the close of World War the War to End Wars as some of the more naive liked to call it.
The Leagues stated aims included the preservation of international peace, and the protection of the rights of all Member States, irrespective of their size and wealth.
Nicolae Titulescu, with whom we are concerned in this article, was a Romanian scholar and statesman who devoted his life and career to the principles of the League. Born in 1882 he undertook his primary and secondary studies in his native Romania, after which, graduating with distinction, he travelled to Paris to read international law, and was awarded a doctorate. He was also active at this time in the Romanian National Committee which worked for Romanian national rights.
On returning to Romania he was appointed a Professor in law, first at the long-established Iassi University in 1905, and later at Bucharest University in 1907. Later, in 1912, he was elected to the Romanian Parliament, and subsequently held a number of important Ministerial posts between 1927 and 1936.
In 1921 he was appointed Romanias Permanent Representative to the League of Nations - a position in which we will see him shortly. Earning the respect of his fellow delegates, he was twice elected its President - in 1930 and again in 1931.
Throughout this period Titulescu worked for the maintenance of international peace, by insisting on the need to preserve national boundaries. He also urged the equality of all countries, small as well as large, and advocated the preservation of international peace through collective security.
While Titulescu sought to use the machinery of the League of Nations to protect the interests of its smaller members, Mussolini was planning to defy the international organisation entirely - by launching an outright invasion of one of its member states: Ethiopia.
The more important League members, Britain and France, paid lip service to a love of peace, but were in fact essentially uninterested in Mussolinis expansionist ambitions. On 6 January 1935 the, French premier, Pierre Laval, held a private conversation with Mussolini, telling him that France was disinterested in Ethiopia - in other words she was giving Fascist Italy a free hand to invade. Five months later, in June, a British Government committee chaired by Sir John Maffey, issued a report which similarly concluded that there were no vital British interests in Abyssinia, and that it would be a matter of indifference whether Abyssinia remained independent or was absorbed by Italy.
On the basis of such thinking the British and French Governments decided to adopt a policy of what they chose to term neutrality in the forthcoming Italo-Ethiopian war. The two Great Powers accordingly banned the supply of arms to both countries oblivious of the fact that one Fascist Italy - was the declared aggressor, while the other Ethiopia - was slated to be the victim of aggression. Oblivious of the fact also that one party was a relatively advanced European power, manufacturing most of its own arms, while the other was an economically underdeveloped African country which was obliged to import all its weapons all its weapons other than spears, swords and shields, which were locally produced.
Anglo-French policy was further formulated at a meeting between Laval and the next British Foreign Secretary, Sir Samuel Hoare, on 10 September 1935, when the latter noted that the two governments were: in agreement upon ruling out military sanctions [against the Italian invader], not adopting any measure of a naval blockade, and never contemplating the closure of the Suez Canal in a word, ruling out everything that might lead to war by which, dear Reader, Sir Samuel meant of course a war between Italy and the western democracies, i.e. Britain and France.
All the above talks and conversations, it should be noted, were known to Mussolini, who was thus assured that his projected invasion would encounter little or no opposition from the two leading members of the League.
Thus assured, Mussolini launched his long-planned invasion of Ethiopia on 3 October 1935. The League responded, on 11 October, by branding Fascist Italy guilty of having resort to war.
In the next few days the League decided to impose what Lord Keynes described at the time as relatively mild economic sanctions against the aggressor. Winston Churchill later put it more forcibly, declaring that the Leagues Sanctions against Fascist Italy were not real sanctions to paralyse the aggressor, but merely such half-hearted sanctions as the aggressor would tolerate.
So was it that when it was proposed to extend Sanctions to include petrol without which the Italian Air Force would have been unable to fly the British and French Governments both refused to extend them.
And it was not so different when the British and French Governments met early in December to consider the imposition of a Peace Plan. This plan, as formulated by Laval and the then British Foreign Secretary, Sir Samuel Hoare, proposed that Ethiopia should cede all the territory then seized by the invader, i.e. basically all Tegray and Ogaden, and grant economic rights to Italy over most of the remainder of Ethiopia. Nothing neutral about that!
So was it that the war was fought between two unequal armies - with the backdrop of disinterest on the part of the leading League members. So was it that the invader for the time being at least seemed victorious
Addis Ababa fell to the invaders on 5 May 1935 - and Emperor Haile Selassie, who had left the Ethiopian capital three days earlier, duly travelled to address the League of Nations in Geneva, on 30 June 1936.
And this, dear Reader, is where Nicolai Titulescu comes in.
As the Emperor rose to deliver his internationally renowned address it was suddenly disrupted by the howls of half a dozen Italian journalists, Paolo Monelli, Giulio Caprini, Lino Cajani, Eugenio Morreale, Carlo Giunci and Alfredo Signoretti, who jumped around, and loudly booed while the Emperor, to the admiration of many observers, stood in quiet and dignified silence.
On seeing and hearing the disturbance Nicolai Titulescu, who was the Chairman of that historic Session, at once jumped to his feet, and in a famous utterance, cried out, A la Porte, les Sauvages, i.e. Out of the Door with the Savages!.
That event found its way into many a subsequent history of those times, among them Angelo Del Bocas The Ethiopian War 1935-1941, James Dugan and Laurence Lafores Days of Emperor and Clown, and Anthony Mocklers Haile Selassies War.
Titulescu was also depicted in Ethiopian artist Agegnew Ingidas painting of the Emperor at the League - a work of art discernable to this day in the cupola of Addis Ababas Selassie, or Holy Trinity, Cathedral.
Titulescu thus earned an honoured place in Ethiopian history.
His protection of the Emperor was however almost his last act in the League of Nations for though his Anti-Fascist stance was much appreciated in Democratic and Liberal circles, it won him more importantly many influential enemies. He was immediately dismissed from all official positions, and ordered by the King of Romania to leave the country forthwith. Though Titulescu succeeded in returning to Romania in the following year his official position had come to a final, irrevocable end. He subsequently protested when the Iron Guard, the local Romanian Fascist organisation, took over the country in 1941. He then went a second time into exile, and died in Cannes, France, later that year. His remains were not however returned to his native land as he had wished - for half a century, until 1992.
Such was the story of Nicolae Titulescu, after whom, it is suggested, an Addis Ababa street might be named.

What It Might Feel Like to Hope
What It Might Feel Like to Hope, the third collection from award-winning author Dorene O'Brien, is a masterful and eclectic mix of stories that consider the infinitely powerful, and equally naïve and damning force that is human hope. A couple tries to come to terms with one another as they travel west in the uncomfortable twilight of their youth; a mortician and an idealistic novelist spar about the true nature of death; an aspiring author hopes to impress Tom Hanks with zombies; a tarot reader deals out the future of Detroit. Showcasing her diverse talents, O'Brien offers a panoply of characters and settings that dwell beyond the borders of certainty, in a place where all that has been left to them is an inkling of possibility upon which they must place all their hopes. These stories offer a variety of tones, forms, and themes in which O'Brien displays an amazing range and control of her craft, all while exploring the essential nature of humanity with nuance, empathy, and at times a touch of skepticism.More info →
Invincible Summers
Invincible Summers follows Claudia Goodwin through eleven summers, from the age of six through twenty-three, as she adjusts with varying degrees of success to what it means to be a daughter, a sister, friend, and lover in a world of loss, betrayal and bad judgment.

It is a coming-of-age story of one woman's journey through the guilt and responsibility she feels for her father's death, her mother's career-altering disfiguration, and her brother's downslide into drugs and alcohol. Invincible Summers weaves a tale about grief and forgiveness and the indelible heartbreak of all the things left unsaid.More info →

Circa, 1025
The tiny slice of the American, rural Midwest during the Twenties that I picture in CIRCA 1925 would merit hardly one "circa" in a museum today. It seems too close to our time. But in nearly every way I can think of, it was a different world. Movies made today that try to capture people and events in the 1920's are somehow off the mark for me. I was there. It wasn't like that.More info →

• For second-grader Emma, it's the tortured spirit that has haunted her family for generations.
• For Deacon William, it's the damaged android that frightens visitors in the retreat house halls.
All ten short stories in this collection are about how the different characters deal with what they find in the dark. Two of these stories received recognition from Writer's Digest and others won awards or were published.

Ten Songs from Bulgaria
"The first lines in Linda Nemec Foster's Ten Songs from Bulgaria, sing 'Small lives, small lives/we are trapped inside/small lives.' The paradox here is that Foster's poems reveal how large and rich the worlds are in which these small lives are lived. In line after line, we encounter the depths and reach of those who live outside the zones of everyday safety. Foster makes herself vulnerable to a world 'as tangible as fog' with her own penetrating observations...
and her poems reflect the haunting music of ode and elegy." Jack Ridl

I Am a Mute Iraqi with a Voice
"Sometimes, a book of poems transcends the form and becomes pure experience. I Am a Mute Iraqi with a Voice is a startling call to memory and mourning for an Iraq that is "dead," an ululation for all that is lost in war after war after war. In these poems, Iraqis are divided not by politics but by location and circumstance; those fortunate enough to live in America are wracked with guilt, and those left behind are trapped indoors. Namou interrogates this split within herself, with poem after poem, in an attempt to reconcile memories of a life in Baghdad with the safety of suburban American life and see past the divisions of history to an impossibly fraught future. I Am a Mute Iraqi is a troubling, necessary collection of poems urging us to recognize, and never forget, the personal and cultural consequences of war." Trish Harris, founding editor of the Pea River JournalMore info →
Iraqi Americans: The War Generation
The War Generation, the first of the Iraqi Americans book series, is a collection of 36 articles that Weam Namou wrote over the years which paint a picture of Iraqi Americans' political and social situation and their struggles. Namou writes, "The views that leaders, politicians and activists I interviewed had about Iraq and the United States fascinated me, especially since their views largely differed from, or were not found in, mainstream media. Given these people's direct connection to both countries, I felt it was important that their stories and perspectives be heard."More info →
Iraqi Americans: Witnessing a Genocide
In Witnessing a Genocide, Weam Namou shares her visit to Iraq in 2000, a journey where she embraced Easter with relatives, remembered her magical childhood in Baghdad, and enjoyed her ancestors' town of Telkaif in Mosul. The trip, held dear to her heart and preserved through pictures of extravagant picnics, tours of ancient monasteries and other lively explorations, is soon drowned by the events that follow the 2003 US-led invasion.More info →
Iraqi Americans: The Lives of the Artists
Artists have a story, a story that affects their pallets. In Iraqi Americans: The Lives of the Artists, Namou wanted to honor artists of Mesopotamian ancestry by giving them the opportunity to share their incredible stories themselves rather than risk having others to do it for them, as was the case with famous Iraqi artist Layla Al Attar. The 16 artists in this book are not victims, but victors over their lives, following their passions and finding ways to showcase it despite any and all challenges.More info →
The Great American Family: A Story of Political Disenchantment
One day, a family approached Namou to write a story about their daughter, Dawn Hanna, who was accused of conspiring to broker telecommunication equipment to Iraq during the sanctions. Unbeknownst to Dawn and the jury which tried her, her co-conspirator was actually a CIA operative. The project was sponsored by the United States to listen in on Saddam and his men. Namou was drawn to this story and decided to write about it as a cautionary tale. Through the lens of a single case, she touches on a number of important issues that are robbing American families from living the American dream: a criminal justice system that is based on greed and profit; big lies that lead to wars, sanctions, terrorism and other costly consequences; a democracy that is based on double standards.More info →

Searching for Nannie B: Connecting Three Generations of Southern Women
Nancy Owen Nelson's engrossing memoir is about her search for her mysterious grandmother, Nannie B., who died while giving birth to the author's mother in 1905.

However, that erasure had a significant impact not only on the author's mother, but also on the author. Nancy Owen Nelson's search resulted in raising more questions about herself, even as it answered questions about her mysterious grandmother. Nonetheless, in the end her journey toward discovery was one of startling self-awareness and connection.More info →

Sunday Nights With Walt: Everything I Know I Learned From "The Wonderful World of Disney"
What were you doing on Sunday night? For many Americans, starting in the 1950s, the answer was: watching Walt Disney's TV show. Richard Rothrock's comprehensive history of that show, in its many forms, will take you back to long-ago Sunday nights spent together with family...and Walt Disney. Rothrock combines meticulous backstories and episode synopses with insight into how Walt's TV show shaped American culture and how it shaped his own childhood and adolescence, gently exposing him to the wide, wonderful world outside his rural town—a world not just of Disney, but of nature, technology, history, foreign cultures, and even romance.

D.C.'s bad boy reporter
Jason Mattera is not a household name, but he's getting close — and it's not without trying: For years, the Human Events editor has been courting attention and, at times, controversy, with his colorful remarks and ambush interviews.
In the process, the 28-year-old native New Yorker (Brooklyn) has carved our a unique corner in Washington's journalism landscape - D.C.'s bad boy reporter.
Story Continued Below
His latest headline-grabbing venture took place last week, when he questioned Vice President Joe Biden in a way that sparked the veep's ire.
"Don't screw around with me," Biden told Mattera when he asked about the vice president's recent claims that rapes and murders will increase if President Barack Obama's $447 billion jobs bill isn't passed by Congress.
Biden's comments were captured on video tape and received widespread coverage. POLITICO reported Mattera had lured Biden in with a request to pose for a photo with him. Biden's office has contacted the Senate press gallery to discuss the incident and whether any rules were broken by Mattera, The Hill reported, although no formal complaint was submitted.
"This was a good get, I'm glad I did it," Mattera told POLITICO in a sit-down interview. "But my career is not going to rise or fall on Joe Biden."
Mattera has been at Human Events since last year, was previously editor in chief of the campus conservative newsletter The Hawk's Right Eye at Roger Williams University, and is the author of "Obama Zombies."
He's accustomed to such encounters.
In his ambush-style interviews, he once asked Rep. Charles Rangel, "Why are you such a disgrace?" (Rangel told Mattera to "mind your own goddamn business.") He asked Rep. Barney Frank for advice on how to run a brothel. He sought out former Rep. William Jefferson for tips on how to best hide cash in one's freezer. His line of questioning prompted Sen. Al Franken (whom Mattera called "Sen. Smalley," in reference to the Minnesota senator's former character on "Saturday Night Live") to scold him, " You have to shut up right now." Rep. Alan Grayson asked him, "Are you a kook?" He once asked then-White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs, "Do you ever feel dirty inside defending this administration's deceits and deceptions?"
He's the definition of un-Washington: Mattera embraces political incorrectness and moves in and out of a thick Brooklyn accent depending on how excited he gets. He's not afraid to sport in public a tank top, a black dress shirt, Soprano-style, or generously gelled hair spikes. His videos are bathed in slashing guitar music and hyper-speed graphics, tailor-made for a young generation.
But it's his words — and his disregard for choosing them carefully — that separate him the most: After the Biden incident, Mattera went on Fox News and called one of the vice president's handlers "his press chick," the veep himself a "blue-collar poser," and the "union goons" Biden made the rape reference in front of "parasites on the system."

Nursing, allied health graduates celebrate accomplishments
The School of Nursing honored 97 R.N. to B.S.N students, as well as 36 Bachelor of Science in Nursing students, during its pinning ceremony. The Division of Allied Health Sciences recognized 17 Bachelor of Science in Medical Imaging Technology and 10 Associate of Science in Radiography graduates.
Marion residents Michael and Shelly Backs were among the R.N. to B.S.N. graduates who received their pins, in a ceremony in Havens Auditorium. As they crossed the stage, a little voice called out, "I love you, Grandma and Grandpa," from the audience.
The couple earned associate degrees in nursing when their daughters were toddlers, and then returned to complete their bachelor's degree in the last year. They were thrilled to have their family with them for the big moment.
"This is such an accomplishment for us," Mike Backs said. "Going back to school has really revved up our brains." Shelly Backs said her husband was initially reluctant to return to school, but now they are glad to have this experience together.
"It's been wonderful," she said. "We could not have asked for a better experience."
For Suzan Ferguson, Kokomo, graduation is the realization of a long-held dream.
"I always wanted to be a nurse, but life took me in a different direction," she said. Ferguson went back to school when her son, Joshua, reached middle school, to prepare to reenter the workforce. She previously earned an associate degree and took a job at IU Health Tipton Hospital, where she worked while completing the R.N. to B.S.N. program.
"I'm relieved, and excited to have reached this goal," she said. "IU Kokomo was a great place to get my degree, and I will wear my pin proudly."
The nursing students chose Joyce Hollingsworth, lecturer in nursing, as their speaker. She recalled her own graduation from IU Kokomo, and the pride she and her mother, also a nurse, felt on that day. She encouraged the graduates to represent nurses and IU Kokomo in the best way possible.
"They're compassionate and knowledgeable, and they're going to go out in the world and make it a better place, and take care of you and me," she said. "Stay true to yourself, and if you do, happiness and success will follow you your whole career."
Chancellor Susan Sciame-Giesecke congratulated the graduates. She noted than in Indiana, only 19 percent of people have a college degree.
"You are one of the few who have spent the time and the effort to reach this goal. It will open all kinds of doors for you," she said. "Your studies have helped you become the person you are, and the person you are going to be."
Patricia Davis, clinical liaison, honored the allied health graduates, which included the 10th graduating class from the associate degree program.
"The transformation we have seen in each of you is amazing," she said. "It is with great pride that we welcome all of you as professional peers."
Courtney Perez, Kokomo, had plenty to celebrate – not only did she earn an Associate of Science in Radiography degree, but she received a job offer this week.
"It doesn't feel real yet," she said. "I appreciate being able to earn this degree in such a great program, close to home. With the small class sizes, you get to know your classmates. That makes it really personal."
She plans to return to campus to earn a Bachelor of Science in Medical Imaging Technology.
David Brinkley, Kokomo, also plans to return for the bachelor's degree program.
"It feels good to have this part of it behind me," he said about the associate degree program. "Now I just have to pass my certification test, which is the day after graduation, and then look for a job. This has been a great program."
Indiana University Kokomo serves north central Indiana.

Nine-year-old boy with cerebral palsy wins Everton goal of the month award
A NINE-YEAR-OLD lad with cerebral palsy has won Everton's goal-of-the-month award for January.
GOTM: 9 y/o George Shaw has beaten @RBarkley20 and @AaronLennon12 to top our January poll. Well done, George! #EFChttps://t.co/tknZd0jDAM— Everton (@Everton) February 9, 2016
George Shaw was invited to the Swansea game at Goodison Park as a guest of Gerard Deulofeu last month.
Young George had previously made an inspiring video of him playing football in the Spaniard's No.19 shirt, which went viral.
The Toffees super-fan met Deulofeu and other Everton stars before the game then took to the pitch during the interval to net a goal in front of the Gwladys Street.
And that strike that has seen off rival attempts from Ross Barkley, Aaron Lennon, Kevin Mirallas and Joe Williams by taking 86 per cent of the votes.
George said: "I never thought I would win, I thought I'd come close because of all the support I've had but I can't believe I won.
"Thank you to everyone who voted for me."
Everton have now invited George to an awards evening in May.
He added: "I can't wait for the end of season awards now, it will be great."
