Most of us take many things for granted, until they disappear. Water for example. It's not until you experience first-hand how a shortage impacts your life that you can begin to understand what it is like to live without adequate clean water every day.
In California, the past two years have shown dramatically how precious water is. While there have been shortages before, this drought has left entire communities without water. Unlike Haiti where this is often the norm, Californians have access to bottled water, often provided by the state for those in the worst need. In Haiti, women and children must walk for miles every day, carrying vessels weighing 20 or 30 pounds each when full, simply to bring clean water to their families.
The responses to a survey by REDDIT underscored the global need for water. It asked people who had immigrated to America, "What was the most pleasant surprise?" Several of the top responses focused on water:
* Showers and running hot water. I was born in the Philippines. Showers and hot water aren't really common in older homes over there.
* Not having to fill buckets with water and boiling some over a stovetop was such a big surprise for me. Experiencing that as a twelve year old was unforgettable. Yet, most people who live here (me included) take it for granted sometimes.
* That the water that comes out of the tap is perfectly drinkable; a simple thing that's easy to take for granted, but it's amazing to me.
These responses say it all.
Water is life. We need water for our bodies to function properly. We need water to grow the food that sustains our bodies. And, we need water to keep clean and fight diseases. When we have water, we have life. Without water, life diminishes.
Many of the children of Haiti, like those pictured here, are tasked with fetching the water for their homes and villages on a daily basis. The miracle is that for many of them, the clean water they get from our solar water wells is often the first clean water they have had access to, or that they've been able to bring home without spending literally the entire day walking to a well and back.
When we received these pictures showing the children with bright smiles on their faces as they filled water jugs for their trek home, we could not have been more humbled and grateful to have been able to – with your support – build the wells that are making these smiles possible. We are determined to build even more solar water wells in Haiti this year so we can continue to bring smiles and health to even more children and their families.
Please join us in our endeavor to continue providing this life-giving water through the construction of more solar powered water wells in Haiti. To learn how you can make a difference, please visit our website.

Our initial reaction upon walking into Manory's, past the old men sitting out front, is a mixture of relief and delight. Open since 1913, this old-fashioned neighborhood eatery has stood the test of time and resisted a makeover too.
Call it a diner or greasy cafe, Manory's has long been famed for its big egg sandwich and sorting out hangovers with a gut-busting breakfast. It's rightly proud of its largely unaltered interior in shades of brown, from the beige banquette booths to a huge brown sign announcing itself as "Troy's oldest restaurant."
Go now and you'll smash every well-intentioned resolution of the New Year with ice-cream sundaes, fried wings, fried chicken with thin maple syrup, fried eggs and home fries with stiff bacon. For an extra $2, you can raise the caloric stakes on your plate with a side of sweet potato fries.
Old men and international students sit at the cube-shaped counter as short-order cooks sizzle burgers and press waffles in back. Young men in tight black T-shirts work every station, slinging coffee, delivering plates and blending Manory's milkshakes in student-inspired flavors from Fruity Pebbles to Oreo-topped cookies-n-cream.
And that's a first we can't unsee. No, not the Fruity Pebbles cereal — also available as confetti-colored waffles and pancakes — but the all-male crew. Instead of a matronly Doris calling us "hon" and tucking her notepad in an apron pocket, we're served each visit by young men who stroll between tables in some clunky diner-version of the all-male "Swan Lake." There is, if memory serves me right, one waitress behind the espresso bar. The rest of the lineup has frat-boy youth on their side. And given the percentage of Troy students dining in (plus the student apartments upstairs), it comes as no surprise.
But the gents turn out to be Anthony Marchese, son of former owners Lou and Jen Marchese, plus Brendan Jones, Jack Engster and Connor McGrath, who took over the business last July and have been a constant and productive presence installing new floors, an espresso bar, Stacks nitro-brewed coffee on tap and draft lines for future beer. Two more friends, Isaiah Evans and Andrew Clements, join them on the short-order griddle.
99 Congress St., Troy
Phone: 518-272-2422
Web: facebook.com/Manorys-141860381022
Hours: 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily.
Price: Inexpensive. Breakfast, lunch & dinner: $5 to $14. (Student specials with ID.)
Food: Casual, American diner comfort food specializing in all-day breakfast, shakes, sundaes, nachos, sandwiches, burgers. Try "The Elvis."
Drink: Espresso drinks, $4.50 to $6; floats, $4; milkshakes, $4.50; build-your-own ice cream sundaes start at $2 per scoop. Draft beer and cocktails coming soon.
Ambiance: Old-school corner diner serving Troy for 105 years.
Noise: Usually 1 to 2. Can be noisier during peak lunch rush.
Good for: Breakfast, brunch, lunch, casual dinner, counter dining, takeout, families, small groups, students, study space.
Noise rating: 1- quiet; 2 - comfortable/conversational; 3 - loud; 4 - disruptive.
Price range: Inexpensive, Moderate, Somewhat Expensive, Very Expensive
The four owners have tapped into Troy's revival by expanding hours to 11 p.m. and applying for a liquor license. In a sea of juice bars and $2,000-a-month downtown apartments (like the fully rented News Apartments two blocks away), they are betting on all-day breakfasts, Black Pearl espresso roasted in Albany, grown-up affogatos and milkshakes in enough flavors to rival a 1950s milk bar. Under new management, Manory's has only polished up its old-school appeal.
The menu itself is largely unchanged — that is, challenging for the heart and soft on the wallet. In "The Elvis," bacon pieces and bananas are cooked into a stack of pancakes covered with warm peanut butter, drizzled jelly and sugar; Lumberjack pancakes studded with diced sausages are smothered in Southern white sausage gravy; Manory's infamous nine-egg Trojan omelette is stuffed with sausage, peppers, onions and three types of melted cheese before a few ladles of colloidal white gravy. Arteries may harden just reading the list.
And yet even as our eyes widen at plates with fries and sides of fries, we're charmed. Operating in its own parallel universe, Manory's is an old-time rejection of diets and fads. Whether anyone ought to eat here regularly is a legitimate concern, though eggs Florentine come closest to healthy, with poached eggs, wilted spinach and a homemade Hollandaise sauce. That's before a side of hash browns deep-fried to bronze bullets, and promised fresh fruit that never appears.
Those eating in are either too young or too old to care about waists. Waffles are 2 inches thick, fluffy and gold, served sweet as the strawberry-topped Bavarian under a tankful of Reddi-Wip, and savory under craggy fried chicken and — yep — Southern gravy. Happy families fill booths, elderly couples smile between crumbly bites; at peak times the line snakes out the door.
Here's a quick rundown of things you can do: Deep dive for jalapenos in the 5-hour pulled-pork deep-fried nachos with plastic cups of premade guac and sour cream on the side; gnaw chicken wings stained Day-Glo orange in the buttery hot sauce of your nocturnal college years; go commando with a fried egg or mozzarella sticks on your stiff-edged, well-done burger; and time the cherry slowly capsizing the whipped cream on your cinnamon toast sundae.
With a liquor license in hand more could change, but the idea of a Bloody Mary or Bellini with breakfast or a pint with your burger seems long overdue, and important to the resolution of a hangover. Though carrots and celery accompanying wings are the only raw food we see, the new owners continue to exclusively use local Dzembo Dairies for milk and ice cream, and Bella Napoli bakery for burger buns and baked goods. Their expansion into evening hours puts triple-decker club sandwiches and grilled cheese (buttered on both sides) within post-cocktail reach. Wrapped for takeout, a corned beef Reuben on rye calls my name all the way home.
Sure, there are salads of the iceberg and peaky tomato variety, but they sort of miss the establishment's all-day-breakfast ideal. When not grilling and buttering muffins, staff turns apple cider donuts and grilled cinnamon rolls into fluffy French toast, some stuffed with ice cream. Root beer floats lustily overflow; thick ice cream shakes risk bursting capillaries as patrons suck hard on straws; nitrogen-infused cold brew titillates post-millennials; pending beer and cocktails may usher in a new nighttime scene.
Built on quick service and breakfast glory, Manory's is an institution. Doughnut French toast? Gravy-sopped waffles? Kids-cereal milkshakes? Check. Is it good? That's a judgment call. What's not good for the body may be good for the soul.
Dinner for four with plates, shakes, and fries costs $100, with 20 percent tip. A breakfast sandwich and latte to go is $15 with a $2 tip.

Statement on the passing of President George H.W. Bush
by Chip Roy
Our hearts are with the Bush family and the rest of the nation today as we mourn the loss of a great man who will be sorely missed. President George H.W. Bush was a man of impeccable character who did all things with honor, both personally and professionally. Our country is better because of his service, and those who had the honor and privilege of knowing him are all better because of his influence.
My wife Carrah was honored to work for him at the library at A&M and worked on his son's presidential campaign. We were also classmates with his grandson in law school, so we've been privileged to see 41 and his family up close and personally away from the public light.
The family represents all that is good about public service, and GHWB is perhaps the national figure I would most tell my son to emulate as a man, husband, father, and gracious public servant.
From serving his nation in WWII to becoming President and all he did for this nation in between, he never lost sight of our calling as Americans to work as hard as we can to strengthen and preserve this great Republic.
I only regret I never had the opportunity to play a round of golf or go to a baseball game with him – as these passions of mine were also passions of his.
We can all take comfort in the truth that this world is not our final home, and today he is reunited with his beloved wife of 73 years again, and most importantly with our Lord. He is notably also with his daughter, Robin, whom he and Barbara lost to cancer, and with whom he may now rejoice.
God bless him, his family, and the country he continues to watch over and love.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Some new phones are giving users no choice but to go wireless and with that comes some new wireless headphone options that are doing more than just play music.
Your new phone might not have a headphone jack, so here are some wireless options if you're ready to cut the cord completely.
Below are some of CNET's top picks:
Google Pixel Buds
Google's Pixel Buds are made for travelers because they translate languages in real time. Pair them with a Pixel phone, have someone speak into the handset and hear the translation in your ear.
They're $159 and the case keeps them charged when not in use.
iPhone users looking for an alternative to the AirPods can try the $149 BeatsX. Use voice assistant Siri or control music playback using the side buttons. You get two hours of listening time from a five-minute charge.
Bose SoundSport Wireless
The Bose SoundSport Wireless are CNET's favorite in-ear Bluetooth headphone because they're comfortable, sweat-resistant and sound great. The winged tips help keep them in your ear when working out or moving around.
iFrogz Resound Wireless
An option that won't break the bank is the iFrogz Resound Wireless earbuds. They're $30 and controls are on a magnetic clip to attach to clothing.

Dear Phyllis,
I walked out of my rental home this morning and noticed a big FOR SALE sign on the front lawn. My landlord says that nothing will change for us but I'm worried… I've lived here for two years and I don't want to move now! Will the new landlord evict me? How can I make sure that I stay in my home?
– Not For Sale
Dear Not For Sale,
Ah, the ebbs and flows of rental housing… just when you think you have found the unit for you, there is bound to be some sort of switch up in the cosmic order. The good news about this change in ownership is that if you are lucky, nothing about your living situation will change. The bad news is that if you are unlucky, you might just have to move. That being said, you always have your rights!
My favourite legal document, the Residential Tenancies Act, (what, you don't have a favourite legal document?) gives you a fair amount of protection in this situation. Your new landlord cannot increase your rent any more than the legal threshold, if they decide to renovate you have right of first refusal for the unit when the renovations are over, and they cannot evict you unless it is for themselves or an immediate family member to move in.
If this is the case, we have a few strategies to buy you some time. Informal word from your landlord that they have this intention is not an eviction notice. They will need to present you with notice on a form called Notice to End Your Tenancy Because the Landlord, a Purchaser, or a Family Member Requires the Rental Unit – Form N12. Along with this form they must either offer you another unit to move into or pay you one month's rent. This form is not an eviction notice; the landlord must apply to the Landlord Tenant Board for that. This buys you time to try to come to an agreement with your landlord – for example, you can advocate for more money or more time to find a new place. If that doesn't work the case may go to a hearing with the Landlord Tenant Board, in which case get in touch with us and we can help you to prepare.
In the meantime, while the house is on the market and prospective buyers are passing through, do your best to be the best tenant possible. Take out your garbage, keep the place tidy, don't play any elaborate pranks involving convincing the new owners that the house is haunted. If the buyers see that the tenants are low-maintenance they will be more inclined to keep you around.
Best of luck, dear reader, and keep us updated on how it goes!

European Superveterans Over 60 Championship
9-11 June 2006 Bra Italy
The Over 60 European Championship for 2006 was fought out by England, Germany, Italy, Netherlands and Scotland in a round robin played in Bra, Italy.
Scotland won the bronze medal behind England and Germany after wins over Netherlands and Italy, but only after a nail biting finish against the home side in the final match. A packed Italian defence stood firm against waves of Scottish attacks and looked to be denying Scotland the win which would bring the bronze medal. Roy Crichton came to the rescue with the crucial goal in the final minutes to seal victory and the bronze medal position. At the fifth time of asking, Scotland had finally made the podium at a European tournament.
The Scottish Thistles team also finished third in the unofficial Over 60 competition, again finishing behind England and Germany, winning their matches against Netherlands 2 and Alliance and drawing with England 2. Only Germany 2 managed to beat Scottish Thistles.

PLN Secures Rp16.3 Trillion Loan
State-owned electricity company PLN has obtained Rp 16.3 trillion (US$1.20 billion) of syndicated loan from banks and non-banks. It was a scheme that combined conventional and sharia financing – the conventional scheme contributed Rp 12 trillion and the sharia scheme contributed Rp 4.3 trillion – with a 10-year term. The financing institutions involved in the syndicated loan include Maybank Indonesia, Bank Mandiri Syariah, Sarana Multi Infrastruktur, BNI Syariah and Bank Permata Syariah.
Adhi Karya Seeks US$1.62 Billion Loan To Complete LRT Construction
State-owned construction company Adhi Karya seeking Rp 22 trillion ($1.62 billion funding to finish the light rail transit project in the greater Jakarta area. Several banks, including Bank Central Asia, Indonesia's largest bank by market capitalization, and CIMB Niaga, the fifth largest, are lining up to offer loans to Adhi Karya. However, to introduce a new financing scheme the government has to first revise the company's track concession.
The government, Adhi and the lenders will need to agree on capital expenditure, concessions and subsidies for LRT tickets. The government now estimates the total cost of the LRT project will reach Rp 27 trillion, Adhi Karya and state railway operator Kereta Api Indonesia will team up to provide Rp 8 trillion, while the remainder will come from a syndicated bank loan.
Central Bank Welcomes Proposed Powell Nomination
Bank Indonesia (BI) Governor Agus Martowardojo expressed hope that the United States Federal Reserve could continue its policy and the good communication that it currently has after the nomination of its governor, Jerome Powell, as the new chairman. "We will see who will be appointed [by US President Donald Trump] but we welcome Powell," he said on Thursday. "Policies implemented under [Federal chairwoman Janet] Yellen will continue [under Powell]. This is good for both the US and global economies."
Thailand Beats Indonesia on EODB Improvement

Some people find it attractive and as a sign of wisdom, while most people consider gray hair as a sign of old age. Interestingly, every hair strand on your head first grows white and becomes colored by a natural pigment known as melanin. As the hair grows, the cells that produce melanin, known as melanocytes, pass on melanin to each individual hair follicle, which effortlessly colors each hair strand. Melanocyte activity slows down as we age and eventually stops, which results in very little pigment in the hair.
Genetics, hormones, and environmental factors can speed up the graying process, which means that the chances of your hair turning gray increases from 10% to 20% with every subsequent decade, after the age of 30.
Although one can easily find dyes on the market that are specifically formulated to cover gray hair, these products often contain a plethora of harsh chemicals that make it undesirable for those who wish to lead a natural and organic lifestyle.
Thankfully, there are several gray hair home remedies that you can implement that will naturally reverse gray hair, without causing harm to the body:
Henna: Henna use is widespread in India and in the Middle East not just as mehendi tattoo designs, but as a natural hair colorant. Henna powder can be mixed with fragrant oils and lemon juice before applying to hair. One can even mix henna and indigo to achieve a darker color. One should regularly use henna to maintain the lovely auburn color it provides and to mask gray hair. Use this at least once a month.
Amla (Indian Gooseberry): Amla juice can be mixed with almond or coconut oil, and massaged into the hair and scalp to cover gray hair. This mixture will color hair while oils enrich and moisturize the hair and scalp for a glossier color. Amla juice can also be consumed to slow down or stop the growth of gray hair.
Tea: Another easy method to reverse gray hair is coloring it with tea. Black teas are suitable for brown and black hair, while rooibos can be used for redheads and chamomile is best suited for blondes. Simply steep 3-6 tea bags in two cups of boiling water. Let it cool before applying to clean, wet hair. Mixing it with conditioner will make it easier to apply. Leave it in for a minimum of one hour. Once the grey hairs have absorbed the tea color, rinse out the mixture in cool water.
Flowers and herbs: Flowers and herbs are some of the best natural hair dyes available. They are very gentle, so you'll need to use them on a regular basis to maintain your hair color. Use the following herbs suited for your hair:
Dark hair: Rosemary, cinnamon, sage, cloves, and black walnut hull
Blonde hair: Chamomile, lemon peel, calendula, marigold, sunflower petals, yarrow
Red hair: Hibiscus flowers, rosehips, red clover, red rose petals, carrots, beet and marigold.
Coffee: Black and brown tresses can use a nice brew to add color. Make a strong coffee and allow it to cool. Mix one cup with two cups of hair conditioner, with a couple spoonfuls of coffee grounds in the mix for richer color. This method is one of the best ways to reverse gray hair to black naturally.
Potato Skins: Save your potato skins for making a natural hair darkener for your gray tresses. Potato peels contain starches that act as colorants to darken gray hair. To make this dye, boil two cups of water along with one cup of potato skins for 25 minutes. Strain the mixture and allow to cool. While this mix doesn't smell too pleasant, you can aid a few drops of rosemary or ylang ylang essential oil for fragrance and boosting the effects. Apply the liquid directly onto the hair and rinse with cool water. Repeat this process until you achieve the color your want.

Divorce Italian Style (Italian: Divorzio all'italiana) is a 1961 Italian comedy film directed by Pietro Germi. The screenplay was written by Ennio De Concini, Pietro Germi, Alfredo Giannetti, and Agenore Incrocci; based on the novel Un delitto d'onore (Crime of Honor) by Giovanni Arpino. It stars Marcello Mastroianni, Daniela Rocca, Stefania Sandrelli, Lando Buzzanca, and Leopoldo Trieste.
Ferdinando Cefalù (Marcello Mastroianni), an impoverished Sicilian nobleman, is married to Rosalia (Daniela Rocca), an unattractive but devoted wife. However, he is in love with his cousin Angela (Stefania Sandrelli), a very much younger and attractive woman whom he sees only during the summers because her family sends her away to the city to a nunnery to receive her education. Besides his wife, he shares his life with his elderly parents and his spinster sister and her boyfriend who runs a funeral business; the family share their once stately palace with his uncles, who are slowly but surely eating away the remainders of the then rich estate of the Baron.
Ferdinando spends his spare time (which is most of it) imagining several ways in which he can do away with his wife, such as throwing her into a boiling caldron to turn her into soap or sending her into space in a rocket. At a beach, he has a daydream of his wife in quicksand and she is pulled under. After a chance encounter with Angela during a family trip, he discovers that she shares his feelings. With this, he resolves to carry out his plans and is inspired by a local story of a woman who killed her husband in a rage of jealousy to make his wife have an affair so that he can catch her in flagrante delicto, murder her, and receive a light sentence for committing an honor killing, studying very carefully the Criminal Code. As he goes along fleshing out his plan, he first needs to find a suitable man for his wife, which he finds in the local priest's godson, Carmelo Patanè, who has had feelings for Rosalia for years and was presumed dead in Africa during World War II. He then also procures the State Prosecutor's friendship with small favors. The final stage of his plan is arranging to have Carmelo's constant presence in his house, which is achieved by his interest in having his palace frescoes restored.
The plan takes a while to get off the ground, because Carmelo is very shy and Rosalia is more than a match in conjugal fidelity. Ferdinando is aware of the development of his plan because he has been taping all their conversations and has to ward off the help's infatuation with Carmelo. During his monitoring of the entire plan, Ferdinando discovers that Carmelo is actually married with three children and a philanderer who could be easily distracted by any other passing skirt. However, his plan turns out better than expected when Rosalia and Carmelo finally give in to their passion; but as he eavesdrops the tape runs out at the precise moment the adulterers arrange for their next illicit meeting. All Ferdinando knows is that it will take place the next evening.
Rosalia feigns to have a terrible headache and remains home while the rest of the family go out to the theatre to see the première of La Dolce Vita, a film so scandalous that no one wishes to miss it. Ferdinando sneaks out of the theatre and goes back to the palace, arriving just in time to see Rosalia running to the train station. He initially has to run out after her but still has to retrieve the gun to kill the couple; and as a result he misses the train and the lovers in it. He revisits his plan and the Criminal Code, which calls for a crime of passion to be executed in the heat of the moment or in defense of one's honor; this then means changing his plan and passing off as the cuckold.
All the while Angela has been writing to Ferdinando to assure him of her undying love no matter what; however, one of her letters is misdelivered to her father who dies of a stroke upon reading it. At the funeral, Ferdinando is approached by Mrs. Patanè who demands to know what he will do to avenge their situation. Since Ferdinando is still doing nothing, she spits in his face in front of the entire town, which gives him all that he needed: an open insult to the family's honor due to his wife's elopement. The local mafia boss offers to find the lovers within 24 hours, which he does. As Ferdinando goes to the lovers' hideout, he comes across Mrs. Patanè, who has just shot her husband, which actually leaves him in a worse position than before. As he sees no other choice, he follows in Mrs. Patanè's footsteps and finally kills his wife. During his trial he is actually defended by the State Prosecutor who blames the whole thing on Ferdinando's father and his lack of love when raising him as a boy. He spends no more than three years in jail and finally comes back home to find a loving Angela waiting for him.
In the film's epilogue, Ferdinando and Angela are sailing away on a sailboat, happily. Ferdinando states "life begins at 40" as the camera pans down, revealing Angela seductively rubbing her feet against the workman steering the boat.
This film won the Academy Award for Best Writing, Story and Screenplay - Written Directly for the Screen; it was nominated both for Best Actor in a Leading Role (Marcello Mastroianni) and for Best Director. The film was also entered into the 1962 Cannes Film Festival.[1]
In 2008 Divorce Italian Style was turned into an opera by Opéra national de Lorraine on September 30 of that year. Tenor Wolfgang Ablinger-Sperrhacke took the role created by Mastroianni. Battistelli chose to set every female role, except for Angela, for low male voice; to that end, Bruno Praticò sang the role of Rosalia.[2]

Faculty Spotlight: Professor's theme park influenced courses popular
Tuesday, May 8, 2018
Written by: Lauren Leetun for Seminole State
She's the type of professor most students dream about learning from. Her English and humanities classes use the subjects of Harry Potter, Disney World and even Hamilton as the basis from which to learn about the fundamentals of literature and societal influence on the arts. And having recently been a student herself, her empathy toward the often busy, multi-tasking Seminole State College of Florida student is alive, well and much-appreciated.
Dr. Carissa Baker, 38, has taught as a professor of English at Seminole State for eight years. Concurrently, she's been pursuing her own doctorate from the University of Central Florida in the school's Texts and Technology Doctoral Program. Having moved to Central Florida from California, Baker has a keen understanding of the role that theme parks play in society. Combining her love for theme parks and teaching, Baker has developed courses for Seminole State students that teach them to approach their studies through the lens of how arts influence society and vice versa.
Her work as a preeminent scholar on the topic of global storytelling in the theme park setting has earned her invitations to contribute to books (such as the recently released Harry Potter and Convergence Culture: Essays on Fandom and the Expanding Potterverse), to consult for other theme parks (she has spent time engaging with designers and future designers at the Efteling theme park in the Netherlands), and as an esteemed member of UCF's Order of Pegasus. The Order of Pegasus is the most prestigious and significant award a student can attain at the university, recognizing exemplary performance by students in the areas of academic achievement, outstanding university involvement, leadership and community service. This year, Baker is one of only 22 recipients, and only six of those students were in graduate programs.
As a member of the Order of Pegasus, Baker had the distinct privilege of sitting on the platform during graduation in early May, and she's now cemented among an elite club of students who will forever be remembered for their achievements in UCF's Pegasus Lounge.
When asked what inspired her to choose this path, she remembers the impact that Dr. Duncan Dickson, an associate professor at UCF, had on her when she was pursuing her doctoral research. He suggested she complete an independent study on the topic of theme park storytelling, a combination of her passions, and a fire was lit within her to make this her life's work. This independent study led her to start to ask questions such as "how are theme parks and their storytelling expressed throughout the decades?", "are there differences between theme park stories in Europe versus Asia?", and "are there unique ways of telling similar stories across various cultures and mediums?".
A teacher by nature (Baker has taught at several institutions beyond Seminole State, including UCF, Riverside City College and the University of California at Riverside), she took the opportunity to translate some of what she was working on into engaging coursework for her students at Seminole State. The result: of the six classes she teaches each term, Dr. Baker's are some of the most sought-after in the College's Grindle Honors Institute.
And her courses are popular beyond the borders of the United States, too. This summer, Dr. Baker will travel to Shanghai with several other Seminole State professors to teach English to college students in China. It's part of an international partner relationship, in which Seminole State has launched two new learning centers in China (Beijing and Shanghai), where students can take a selection of summer courses and earn credit toward their degrees.
She laughs a little when asked how she managed to teach so many courses – many for which she developed the curriculum – while also being a doctoral student. She attributes her ability to juggle all the responsibilities to the constant support of her husband, Joshua, who is a middle school history teacher. The two reside in Sanford, and he's "come along for the ride" (pun intended) on her theme park research expeditions.
Baker is appreciative that she's been able to land at an institution where she can teach courses that also stroke her creative side, and she's equally appreciative for the opportunity to learn at a university that allowed her to pursue such an out-of-the-box doctoral study. She hopes that her work teaches students to look at the world a little differently; to see and understand the stories that unfold among the fun of theme parks and beyond.
Seminole State College of Florida, established in 1965, serves nearly 30,000 students across six sites in Central Florida. A comprehensive college, Seminole State has awarded more than 100,000 credentials, from bachelor's degrees to high school diplomas, and offers more than 200 degrees, certificates and programs designed for success.

Happy New Year!
As 2017 draws to a close, it's natural that we all should be looking at the upcoming year and all the promises it holds. Nearly everyone I know has experienced more stress in 2016 and 2017, largely due to world events, and I for one am looking forward to a more relaxing and positive 2018.
I am currently working on three books to be released in 2018:
The Essential Marketing Plan for Authors is based on my popular 52-week Marketing Plan Course through The Novel Business. I've been mentoring authors for nearly 18 years and have found the biggest challenge to be in the area of marketing; too many authors give up too quickly or they don't take the time or make the effort to correctly identify their target market, so their efforts miss the mark. This book takes the author through the entire process of identifying their ideal reader (even when they don't have a clue who they are) and walks them through digital promotional efforts as well as traditional marketing. I am in the editing stage now, and hope this book will be released before the summer of 2018.
The Adventures of Blade and Rye is a venture into writing children's books (preschool through 3rd grade). I actually wrote this book about three years ago and set it aside, but was recently inspired by Sandra Warren and her children's book, Spivey's Web to revive it. Blade and Rye are two fairies and best friends that visit Earth just as life is forming. Their teacher transforms them into two blades of grass so they have a front-row, center seat beside a lake that will see everything from dinosaurs to humans, and eventually (through the series) the formation of villages and then high-rise cities. It is in the production stage now, and I also hope this will be released before the summer of 2018.
And for those that love Vicki Boyd and Dylan Maguire, I am in the writing stage (first draft) of the 7th book in the Black Swamp Mysteries Series. Cloak and Mirrors ended with Dylan and Vicki going dark to avoid enemy spies from abducting Vicki and taking her to Moscow. They will find themselves on a sparsely-populated island as a hurricane nears. Cut off from the mainland, they find refuge in an ancient monastery along with half a dozen island residents, and as darkness descends one after another are murdered. It is up to Vicki and Dylan to discover the killer and his or her motives. It is due on the editor's desk in the spring so hopefully it will be released in the fall of 2018—just in time for Book 'Em North Carolina's 7th Annual Writers Conference and Book Fair.
Book 'Em is now under the leadership of Robeson Community College and I have returned this year to assist the organizing committee. Please mark your calendar for Saturday, September 22, when we'll bring together dozens of authors that will be signing and selling their books, giving talks and participating in panel discussions. Headliners are New York Times bestselling authors Jeff Mudgett, Jonas Saul and Elizabeth Massie.

There was a picture of Lenin tacked on the wall, a shelf of books about Che Guevara and a cafe serving avocado toast.
The young true believers and rickety old militants in attendance were learning history and strategy from Frances Fox Piven, a distinguished professor of political science at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York.
"Since the 1970s, everything has gotten worse and worse," said Piven, 86. There were very clear reasons for this. "Poor people," she said, had been "humiliated" and "shut up." Those in power now are "crazy."
"But they're also evil," she continued. "And they will be evil because they are greedy." Only one thing would stop them, she said. "We have to be noisy, and difficult and ungovernable."
Piven has been making this argument for over half a century. While Democratic veterans like the House speaker, Nancy Pelosi, seek to build consensus, Piven praises its opposite: "dissensus."
Trying to work within the system is terribly misplaced, Piven argues, since it's rigged by elites against the poor. What's needed is a sense of crisis that will force change. And that, she insists, can be achieved only by the "mass defiance" of a disruptive protest movement.
These revolutionary ideals long made Piven infamous to some, heroic to a few and unknown to everyone else. But with the rise of a youthful radical left, her admirers are growing in influence for the first time since Piven entered politics in the 1960s.
Bookish political operatives and labor organizers in the Democratic Socialists of America — whose membership has increased by nearly 50,000 since 2015 — revere Piven.
According to David Duhalde, 34, formerly the Democratic Socialists' deputy director and now the political director of Our Revolution, a group aligned with Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, the "ideological leadership" is full of Pivenites.
Micah Uetricht, 31, managing editor of the socialist magazine Jacobin, is also devoted to Piven's work. He said he has read "Poor People's Movements," Piven's venerated 1977 book, at least three times.
"She's someone whose body of work shows that you don't have to drift off into this la-la land of intellectualism," Uetricht said. "People should be going on strike. People should be withdrawing their labor power or causing chaos in society. That's where their power comes from."
Probably the most influential vector for Piven's ideas is the social-justice incubator Momentum, a training program for progressives that formed in 2014.
Trainees include members of the Sunrise Movement, whose occupation of Pelosi's office with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez sparked conversation about the Green New Deal. It was just the sort of disruption Piven advocates.
"What tactics we use is exactly the question that Piven is addressing," said Lissy Romanow, 35, Momentum's executive director. Part of Piven's appeal, she said, came from her view that social movements are required for big left-wing victories — a perspective suited to a generation disillusioned with liberal business as usual.
Piven takes an active part in spreading her own ideas. In July, she will be headlining the 2019 Socialism Conference, to be held in Chicago and sponsored by Jacobin magazine and the Democratic Socialists.
For decades, no event has struck her as too small.
Before the Democratic Socialists of America had its resurgence in 2016, the organization would hold summer youth retreats in upstate New York. A few dozen college students would attend lectures and discussions, taking breaks for games of whiffle ball and bonfires. Piven always came. "She was a celebrity showing up to these embarrassing meetings," Duhalde said.
"I've seen Fran at organizing meetings, I've seen her at protests, at Occupy, at conferences, retreats and planning sessions," said Sarah Jaffe, 38, a left-wing journalist and author. "She's obviously one of the most influential people I can think of."
Piven was born in Canada in 1932 and grew up in Queens. Her parents both emigrated from Uzlyany, a shtetl near Minsk.
It's a background shared by other great polemicists of the 20th century. Sociologist Nathan Glazer, historian Howard Zinn and writer Vivian Gornick also were born between 1920 and 1935 to Jewish immigrant parents from Eastern Europe and grew up in outer-borough New York. The same goes for socialist critic Irving Howe, whose father, like Piven's, struggled to run a deli.
Secular to the point of not celebrating birthdays, nostalgic for the culture of Russia and bitterly conscious of their poverty, Piven's family found a source of meaning in politics. This was most true of her father.
"He told me a little bit about capitalism, how it's a dog-eat-dog society, and that you couldn't believe the capitalist press, it was all full of lies," Piven said. "I said, 'Why do you read the newspaper, Daddy?' Because he read it — he really read it. And he said, 'I read between the lines.' Being literal-minded as little kids are, I tried to do that. I tried and tried."
Rebelliousness came to her early. In elementary school, she refused to say the Pledge of Allegiance, even after being forced to stand in a corner with her face to the wall. "I said I could only pledge allegiance to the Maple Leaf," Piven recalled. "I was a Canadian."
In 1962, she started working at Mobilization for Youth, the New York anti-poverty program that became a model for President Lyndon Johnson's War on Poverty. Soon, she was observing rent riots and watching speeches by figures such as Malcolm X. She said that once, while standing guard outside a student-occupied building at Columbia University, she was attacked by police.
During the welfare rights movement of the late '60s and early '70s, Piven repeatedly stormed welfare centers with other activists to demand benefits — including on her birthday, which led to her arrest. "Know what he said?" asked Piven, recalling her talk with the policeman. "'You must be a very nice person to do this on your birthday.'"
All of these experiences showed Piven the art and power of political confrontation. "The streets of New York, the streets of the Lower East Side, the streets of Harlem — you could feel the energy almost crackling," she said of her early days in politics. "That assertiveness came with anger, and a certain violence."
Following the crucible of the '60s and early '70s, Piven's academic career flourished. Her books, particularly "Poor People's Movements," were assigned in college classes. She received awards and held prestigious posts: honorary chairwoman of the Democratic Socialists of America; vice president of American Political Science Association; president of the American Sociological Association.
At the same time, politics no longer fully accommodated her desire for fiery activism. Piven helped lead a successful drive to reform voter registration, but it was a campaign that rested on tactics tamer than "mass defiance." During academic conferences and at least one televised debate of the 1990s, Piven became a lonely advocate for welfare rights as much of the country turned against the welfare system.
Her public profile came to rest, perversely, on attempts of right-wing commentators to tar moderate liberals with her brand of radicalism. Television personality Glenn Beck repeatedly identified Piven and her husband and collaborator, Richard Cloward, who died in 2001, as a secret, dark force, "fundamentally responsible for the unsustainability and possible collapse of our economic system."
This style of condemnation continues. A recent article on the political news site RealClearPolitics claimed that "all social policy innovations since the 1960s have been incremental steps in the Cloward-Piven plan to bankrupt America."
Without quite thinking she is a wicked witch of the left, liberals have still strongly objected to many of Piven's views. John McWhorter, a writer and linguist, for example, argued that Piven and Cloward's work on welfare rights led African Americans to become dependent on welfare.
The division between Piven and other supporters of the Democratic Party comes in part from the fact that while most changed their views over time, Piven did not.
Sean Wilentz, a professor of American history at Princeton University, was once a radical in the vein of Piven. As a young man, he attended the tumultuous protests surrounding the 1968 Democratic National Convention and felt pushed toward militancy. Then, like many other members of his generation, he grew disillusioned with what he saw as dogma and destructiveness and found there was greater power in America's tradition of liberal reform.
In an interview, Wilentz said he disputed the moral implications and efficacy of Piven's tactics.
Piven's promotion of mass disruption rests on the idea that it deserves credit for the biggest progressive achievements in American history. Abolitionists, she argues, brought about emancipation, while jobless protesters and striking workers forced the most progressive legislation of the New Deal.
Wilentz disagrees.
"It's not true that social movements are everything and politicians are just these ciphers," he said.
When disruption has become divisive or violent, Wilentz said, it has invited backlash. "The legacy of the more riotous protests we're talking about is Donald Trump," he said.
Moderate Democrats worry a strident style will similarly doom today's ascendant left.
Piven responds to such criticism by arguing that backlash is an inevitable consequence of righteous political campaigns. Most violence associated with protest, she observes, comes from authorities suppressing demonstrators.
"People do get hurt," she acknowledged matter-of-factly. After continued probing, Piven finally found a movement she could describe as going too far. "I think the French Revolution was awful," she said.
Today, Piven lives in a spacious, simply furnished apartment near Columbia University, where she moved with Cloward in 1983. She still ventures out to meet with activists and to deliver public speeches as often as possible, but she recognizes she is growing frail. Piven often prefers to see friends and students in her apartment, where she likes to wear a cozy sweatshirt of the Green Bay Packers — the football team whose public ownership some consider quasi-socialist.
Young people seem drawn to Piven, and she occasionally writes with younger colleagues, deploying the edgy imagination of what she once called "the strategist of dissensus."
In a recent interview with Jacobin, she wondered about the possibility of disrupting supply chains by closing truck depots along the New Jersey Turnpike. She frequently mentions her wish for a mass movement to renege on debt payments. Perhaps people would be inspired to protest the unjust economic conditions that force them into debt, she thinks, if school boards challenged exploitative loans they'd received from banks.
"You can't be Frances and sit quietly in an armchair," said Barbara Ehrenreich, the distinguished left-wing author, who is an old friend of Piven's. "When people are marching in the streets, Frances has got to be out there with them."
Much as Piven upholds defiant protest as the path to leftist victory, she also clearly takes pleasure and pride in the act of confrontation itself. She happily remembers, for instance, the campaign she was part of in the 1970s and '80s to remove John Silber, the controversial president of her former employer, Boston University. So what that the movement failed?
"Working on any political project is enormously fun," she said. "You don't have to win for it to be really terribly satisfying. You get good friends. You do the right thing. You test your courage."

In the clip posted on YouTube tension builds as the large prefabricated pool is slowly manouevred over the garage belonging to the two-storey house.
Filmed by a worker waiting to install the luxury outdoor pool, the man behind the lens can be heard to exclaim "watch out for the chimney" as the delicate operation progresses.
Calamity occurs when the constant sound of the crane's hydraulics suddenly cut out before the machine tips back, dropping its load and smashing into the garage as the cameraman runs for cover.
"I heard the crane operator scream and I took off running toward the front of the house as soon as he started to yell," the workman who took the footage stated online.
Fortunately no-one was harmed in the incident.
