Child custody and visitation issues in family court can be confusing for many parents. The concept of "custody" generally involves two separate categories–legal custody and physical custody. That alone can take some time for a divorcing parent to grasp. Decision-making power for the child's major life activities (like education or health care issues) may differ from physical custody, which involves whom the child lives with. Often, a family court may award joint custody, meaning that parents share the responsibilities jointly.
But the decision of the court generally involves an assessment of the best interests of the child based upon the unique circumstances of each case. That standard also can be hard to grasp for some parents. Courts weigh various factors in analyzing the facts of a divorce situation in child custody and visitation issues–and those facts are analyzed through a lens known as the best interests standard.
A recent story from the East Coast highlights how one judge used the best interests standard in arriving at a child custody decision. While our Columbia, Missouri area readers may know that family law is generally a matter for each state, the overall principle of the best interests of the child is used in family law decisions across the country.
A divorcing couple reportedly had spent most of their time together quarreling. When the marriage ultimately broke down, the estranged couple had a contested dispute over custody of their son. Each spouse sought a restraining order against the other at some point–requests that were denied.
When the parties argued in family court, the wife asked for sole custody of her son based upon her fears over her estranged husband's alleged behavior. The court reportedly listened to the argument. But in the end, awarded joint custody. The judge reportedly noted that the couple quarreled often, but that changed somewhat during a 13-month separation.
The court found that the two parents were able to communicate about their child during the separation leading to the divorce. The judge reasoned that awarding sole custody to either parent would serve more to punish the child, and granted joint custody in the best interests of the child.

The notion that there is ever a good time to stop looking for cancer is hard to grasp. But that's the message delivered last week by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, which recommended that men ages 75 and older no longer be screened for prostate cancer.
As I explain in my Well column this week, the task force's recommendations highlight the fact that there is always a downside to early detection. It's not the simple blood test that puts men at risk, but the fact that many men have such slow-growing cancers that finding them and treating them likely does more harm than good.
I think Dr. Peter B. Bach, a pulmonologist and epidemiologist at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City, explained it best.
"It's just a needle stick, but the cascade of events that follows are fairly serious," Dr. Bach said. "I think the burden is on medicine to try and generate some evidence that the net benefits are there before drawing that tube of blood."
To read more, check out the full Well column here.
And to learn more about the issues men with prostate cancer face, look around the Well blog for other posts on prostate cancer. In Sex After Prostate Surgery, readers talked about how statistics can mislead men trying understand how their sex lives may be changed by prostate surgery. Another post, No Answers for Men With Prostate Cancer, explained why experts can't recommend any one treatment over another one, and often can't say whether treatment is appropriate at all. And Cancer Funding: Does It Add Up? shows that funding for research into prostate cancer lags that of other illnesses.

Hungarian filmmaker Béla Tarr made "Werckmeister Harmonies" in 2000, but it has a haunting, timeless feel to it. Shot entirely in textured black and white in winter, it opens with our hero and narrator, a young man named János (played by Lars Rudolph), placing drunk pub patrons in the position of the sun, the earth and the moon to act out an eclipse. The small village on the Hungarian plains that serves as the backdrop looks like the twentieth century has barely touched it—the sad, squalid pub is lit by a few glaring fluorescent strips, hot water tanks are heated by burning wood beneath them, and there is nary an automobile to be seen.
The film is moody, pensive, quiet, and tenebrous. Helping the mood along is Tarr's visionary and amazing long takes. Indeed, there are only thirty-nine scenes in this two and a half hour film with most scenes stretching up to eleven minutes of continuous shooting. These shots clearly required intense choreography and rehearsal since the camera, like the drunk earth and moon in the opening shot, seems to orbit the actors, circling them, coming in for a close up, then pulling back out for a long shot, gliding through doorways, settling on someone or something, only to float away, out another door or window. The resulting slow-motion dance is breathtaking—and what Orson Welles tried to do in his infamous opening sequence of "A Touch Of Evil." Tarr makes the camera, and by extension the viewer into a sort of gentle, omnipresent sleepwalker.
Part of the reason for the length of scenes is the fact that Tarr lets the action in his film move at the speed of life, exactly like the style of Tarr's idol, the late German filmmaker Rainer Werner Fassbinder. No editing of the action for either of them—if it takes two or three minutes for a character to walk down a street, then it takes two or three minutes for a character to walk down the street. If this sounds tedious to you, I assure you it is not. The black and white mood of "Werckmeister Harmonies," and the peculiar resignation of the characters who are trapped here in this village fill the time and space nicely. It reminded me of the first time I saw the original Russian "Solaris"—I was struck by how meditative it was, with the camera poetically languishing on such things as a golden autumnal leaf in the rain.
The story has some odd touches to it as well: a side show attraction of the carcass of a giant whale comes to town along with a mysterious foreigner who calls himself The Prince. We learn through other characters that The Prince goes from village to village giving speeches that contain atheist content which riles up the townsfolk. The way the whale is presented and how the poor creature ends up felt like a page from Magic Realism, in either literature or cinematic form.
Throughout the film, the villagers have been either absent or standing around, stock still, doing nothing yet we are told that there is crime and great danger in town, we are told that there is unrest and anger brewing. But there is apparently no reason for it. The villagers, out of boredom or ignorance, and goaded on by a drunk police chief and his power-hungry mistress, finally reach their boiling point; and János describes the attitude of the marauding crowd with this crucial line: "We didn't find the real object of our abhorrence and despair, so we rushed at everything we came across with wilder and wilder fury." It makes me think of what is happening in United States now, and how afraid I am of marauding crowds of ignorant "patriots" who are furious at nothing, trying to find a target and outlet for their mysterious rage.
Recommend? If you only love summer blockbusters, action films, or comedy films such as "The 40 Year Old Virgin," then this film is NOT for you. All others, yes, by all means, see it…

The not so famous Test series that gave birth to the worlds most dominating team ever.
'The Australians gave us a lesson in fast bowling,' Holding says. 'It was the hardest cricket I had ever seen. Our batsmen were being hit on the head, beaten around the body. And you heard a few things from the crowd that should not have been said – people saying "Go back to the trees" or "Go back where you came from".'
'The amazing thing about that series is that every time the Aussie fast bowlers hit, they drew blood,' Holding has said.
'Everybody was upset,' Holding says now, 'because that remark had connotations of racism. You have to remember that those were the days of apartheid in South Africa. And although Greig played for England, we looked upon him as a South African.'

Pre-planning a funeral comes with a number of benefits. From reducing stress to managing costs, it can assist you in a number of ways. Here are three reasons explaining why people choose a funeral home.
Reduces stress for the family
Pre-planning a funeral reduces the stress and hassles for the family to a great extent. When a family member passes away, it is stressful to make the arrangements. You can reach out to a funeral home and make the arrangements beforehand to simplify the process. People often pre-plan the funeral of their family members, or their own funeral. Planning the funeral in advance shows the love and consideration towards the members of the family. Besides, you can reduce the uncertainty after a family member passes away.
Pre-planning ensures peace of mind
Pre-planning the funeral ensures peace of mind, as it reduces the strain at the hours of sorrow. The death of a member is a great loss, and pre-planning the funeral can reduce the stress to a great extent. You would not like to engage yourself in arranging the funeral at the time of this loss. Rather, you would want to be with your family as much as possible.
Funeral and merchandise costs
Planning the funeral in advance will help you to eliminate unnecessary costs. The funeral director understands the personal choices of people and make the necessary arrangements. You can check out the quality of merchandise and select the necessary things, making the arrangements according to your needs. You can keep the cost within control when you go for pre-planning of the funeral. You can select the merchandise that you wish to get, which keeps the costs within your budget. Besides, the rising of funeral costs due to inflation in future can also be tackled, when you plan it in advance.

There comes a time for every aspiring artist when they get compared to the stalwarts from their industry. A similar incident has happened with Neelanjana Ray who is amongst the Top 11 contestants of India's biggest singing reality show – Indian Idol 10.
The talented singer has been impressing judges and celebrity guests along with audiences all over with her sweet voice. In the recent Shaadi special episode, Neelanjana sang 'Ye Galiyan, Ye Chaubara' with such panache, that judge Vishal Dadlani couldn't stop praising the young singer!
Vishal Dadlani said, "Neelanjana, you have been a real discovery on Indian Idol 10. You have sung this song masterfully and I could see some traits of Lata Didi's singing in you. I cannot give you a bigger compliment than this ever!"
A visibly happy Neelanjana said, "It's my great fortune that I got the golden opportunity to perform on the stage of Indian Idol 10. It's been a great experience and at times I feel as if I am in a beautiful dream! All the judges have been very helpful and constantly motivate us to perform better. On the recent shaadi special episode, I sang a song that was originally sung by Lata ji and Vishal sir said that I do reflect some of her traits in singing. This is the best compliment that I have got till date! With Lata didi's birthday round the corner, this moment has become even more special for me. I can't express my happiness in words!"
Keep watching Indian Idol 10 every Saturday and Sunday, 8PM only on Sony Entertainment Television

Starting April 29, The LINK Public Transportation is offering a new deviated fixed route serving key stops in The Dalles. Circling the city on a one-hour loop on Monday through Friday, 7am to 6pm, riders can get on stops at The Dalles Transit Center, near Goodwill to access the 6th street shopping area, Columbia Gorge Community College, Mid-Columbia Medical Center and the Veterans' Service Office downtown.
Similar to The LINK's dial-a-ride service, which is still available for everyone, rides on the route are $1.50 each way. As an incentive to encourage the community to try out the new service, all rides on the deviated fixed route are free for the first two weeks of the service through May 10, 2019.
The bus operates along a route with a regular schedule, but is called a "deviated" fixed route because it can also leave the route to accommodate requests for "off-route" drop-offs or pick-ups. The number of deviations per loop is limited and must be scheduled in advance by calling The LINK at 541-296-7595. Only deviations within 1/4 mile of the route are allowed. Time is built into the schedule to allow for deviations. This means the bus may get to the stops earlier than the scheduled time if there are no deviations, but the bus will not leave that stop until the time posted in the schedule.
"This route was identified as a priority in the 2016 The
Dalles Transportation System Plan," said Charlotte Sallee, Transportation
Operations Director. "Thanks to a grant from the Federal Transportation
Administration and new Oregon state funding for public transportation, The LINK
was able to launch this new service as another way to serve our community."
Earlier in April, The LINK announced a new option to pay for rides on LINK buses using a smartphone through the free Hopthru app. With mobile ticketing and a bus route, the LINK has more plans in the works that will better serve public transportation needs for everyone in Wasco County. Find the schedule and map for the deviated fixed route, information about the Hopthru app and more on The LINK's pages at http://mcedd.org/linktransit or by calling The LINK at 541-296-7595. The LINK Public Transportation is operated by Mid-Columbia Economic Development District

After that day of curious abandonment and imprudence, Mr. Brownlow
returned to his natural use and wont. He could not account to himself
next day even for his want of control, for his injudiciousness. What end
could it serve to lay open his plans to Sara? He had supposed she would
take it seriously, as he had done, and, lo! she had taken it very
lightly, as something at the first glance rather amusing than otherwise.
Nothing could have so entirely disconcerted her father. His position,
his good name, his very life, seemed to hang upon it, and Sara had taken
it as a singularly piquant novelty, and nothing more. Then it was that
it had occurred to him about that softening of the brain, and the
thought had braced him up, had reawakened all his energies, and sealed
his lips, and made him himself again. He went to the office next day,
and all the following days, and took no more notice of young Powys than
if he had never tried to win his confidence, and never introduced him to
his daughter. No doubt it was a disappointment to the young man. No
doubt a good deal of the intoxication of the moment had remained in
Powys's brain. He had remembered and dwelt upon the effect of that
passing sunbeam on Miss Brownlow's hair and her dress, much more than he
need have done. And though he did not look at it much, the young
Canadian had hung up the Claude in his memory–the Claude with a certain
setting round it more important than its actual frame. This he had done
naturally, as a kind of inevitable consequence. And it was not to be
denied that he watched for Mr. Brownlow's coming next morning, and
waited for some little sign of special friendship, something that should
show, on his employer's part as well, a consciousness of special favor
extended. But no such sign came. He might have been a cabbage for all
the notice Mr. Brownlow took of him as he passed to his own office. Not
a glance, not a word, betrayed any thing different from the ordinary not
unkind but quite indifferent demeanor of the lawyer to his clerks.
Then, as was to be expected, a certain surprise and painful
enlightenment–such as every body has to encounter, more or less, who
are noticed by their social superiors–came upon the young man. It was
all a caprice, then, only momentary and entirely without consequences,
which had introduced him to Mr. Brownlow's table and his daughter. He
belonged to a different world, and it was vain to think that the other
world would ever open to him. He was too unimportant even to be kept at
a distance. He was her father's clerk. In Canada that would not have
mattered so much, but in this old hard long-established England– Poor
young fellow! he knew so little. The thought brought with it a gush of
indignation. He set his teeth, and it seemed to him that he was able to
face that horrible conventional system, and break a lance upon it, and
make good his entrance. He forgot his work even, and laid down his pen
and stared at Mr. John, who was younger than himself. How was he better
than himself? that was the question. Then an incipient sneer awoke in
the soul of the young backwoodsman. If there was such a difference
between the son of a country solicitor and his clerk, what must there be
between the son and the clients, all the county people who came to have
their difficulties solved? But then Mr. Brownlow was something more than
a solicitor. If these two men–the one old and full of experience, the
other young and ignorant, with only a screen of glass and a curtain
between them–could have seen into each other's thoughts, how strange
would have been the revelation. But happily that is one refuge secured
for humanity. They were each safe, beyond even their own powers of
self-interpretation, in the recesses of their hearts.
Mr. Brownlow, by a superhuman effort not only took no notice of young
Powys, but, so far as that was possible, dismissed all thought of him
from his mind. It was a difficult thing to do, but yet he all but did
it, plunging into the Wardell case, and other cases, and feeling with a
certain relief that, after all, _he_ had not any particular symptoms of
softening of the brain. The only thing he could not do was to banish
from his own mind the consciousness of the young man's presence. Busy as
he was, occupied to the full extent of his powers, considering intently
and with devotion fine points of law and difficult social problems, he
never for one minute actually forgot that young Powys was sitting on the
other side of the screen. He could forget any thing else without much
difficulty. Neither Sara nor Brownlows were in his mind as he labored at
his work. He thought no more of Jack's presence in the office, though he
knew very well he was there, than of the furniture; but he could have
made a picture of the habitual attitude in which his clerk sat, of the
way he bent over his work, and the quick upward glance of his eyes. He
could not forget him. He could put out of his mind all his own
uncomfortable speculations, and even the sense that he had conducted
matters unwisely, which is a painful thought to such a man. All this he
could do, but he could not get rid of Powys's presence. He was there a
standing menace, a standing reminder. He did not even always recall to
himself, in the midst of his labors, why it was that this young man's
presence disturbed him, but he never could for a moment get free of the
consciousness that he was there.
At the same time he regarded him with no unfriendly feelings. It was not
hatred any more than it was love that moved him. He carried the thought
with him, as we carry about with us, as soon as they are gone, that
endless continual thought of the dead which makes our friends in the
unseen world so much closer to us than any body still living to be loved
and cherished. Mr. Brownlow carried his young enemy, who at the same
time was not his enemy, about with him, as he would have carried the
thought of a son who had died. It came to his mind when he got up in the
morning. It went side by side with him wherever he went–not a ghost,
but yet something ghostly in its perseverance and steady persistency.
When he laid down his pen, or paused to collect his thoughts for a
moment, the spectre of this youth would cross him, whatever he might be
doing. While Mr. Wrinkell was talking to him, there would suddenly glide
across Mr. Wrinkell's substantial person the apparition of a desk and a
stool and the junior clerk. All this was very trying; but still Mr.
Brownlow wisely confined himself to this one manifestation of Powys's
presence, and sternly silenced in his own mind all thought on the
subject. On that one unlucky day of leisure he had gone too far; in the
rebound he determined to do nothing, to say nothing–to wait.
This was perhaps as little satisfactory to Sara as it was to young
Powys. She had, there can not be a doubt, been much amused and a little
excited by her father's extraordinary proposal. She had not taken it
solemnly indeed, but it had interested her all the same. It was true he
was only her father's clerk, but he was young, well-looking, and he had
amused her. She felt in her soul that she could (or at least so she
thought) make an utter slave of him. All the absurdities that ever were
perpetrated by a young man in love would be possible to that young man,
or else Sara's penetration failed her, whereas the ordinary young men of
society were incapable of absurdities. They were too much absorbed in
themselves, too conscious of the possibility of ridicule, to throw
themselves at a girl's feet heart and soul; and the girl who was still
in the first fantastic freshness of youth despised a sensible and
self-respecting lover. She would have been pleased to have had the
mysterious Canadian produced again and again to be operated upon. He was
not _blasé_ and instructed in every thing like Jack. And as for having
to marry him, if he was the man, that was still a distant evil, and
something quite unexpected no doubt would come of it; he would turn out
a prince in disguise, or some perfectly good reason which her father was
now concealing from her, would make every thing suitable. For Sara knew
too well the important place she held in her father's opinion to imagine
for a moment that he meant to mate her unworthily. This was how the
tenor of her thoughts was turned, and Mr. Brownlow was not insensible to
the tacit assaults that were made upon him about his _protégé_. She gave
up her judgment to him as she never had done before, with a filial
self-abandonment that would have been beautiful had there been no
_arrière pensée_ in it. "I will do as papa thinks proper. You know best,
papa," she said, in her new-born meekness, and Mr. Brownlow understood
perfectly what she meant.
"You have turned dreadfully good all of a sudden," said Jack. "I never
knew you so dutiful before."
"The longer one lives, one understands one's duties the better," said
Sara, sententiously; and she looked at her father with a mingled
submission and malice which called forth a smile about the corners of
his mouth.
"I hope so," said Mr. Brownlow; "though you have not made the experiment
long enough to know much about it yet."
"There are moments which give one experience as much as years," said
Sara, in the same lofty way, which was a speech that tempted the profane
Jack to laughter, and made Mr. Brownlow smile once more. But though he
smiled, the suggestion did not please him much. He laid his hand
caressingly on her head, and smoothed back her pretty hair as he passed
her; but he said nothing, and showed no sign of consciousness in respect
to those moments which give experience. And the smile died off his lip
almost before his hand was withdrawn from her hair. His thought as he
went away was that he had been very weak; he had betrayed himself to the
child who was still but a child, and knew no better than to play with
such rude edge-tools. And the only remedy now was to close his lips and
his heart, to tell nobody any thing, never to betray himself, whatever
might happen. It was this thought that made him look so stern as he left
Brownlows that morning–at least that made Pamela think he looked stern,
as the dog-cart came out at the gate. Pamela had come to be very learned
in their looks as they flashed past in that rapid moment in the early
sunshine. She knew, or she thought she knew, whether Mr. John and his
father were quite "friends," or if there had been a little inevitable
family difference between them, as sometimes happened; and it came into
her little head that day that Mr. Brownlow was angry with his son,
perhaps because– She would not put the reason into words, but it filled
her mind with many reflections. Was it wrong for Mr. John to come home
early so often?–to stay at home so often the whole day?–to time his
expeditions so fortunately that they should end in stray meetings, quite
accidental, almost every day? Perhaps he ought to be in the office
helping his father instead of loitering about the avenue and elsewhere,
and finding himself continually in Pamela's way. This she breathed to
herself inarticulately with that anxious aim at his improvement which is
generally the first sign of awakening tenderness in a girl's heart. It
occurred to her that she would speak to him about it when she saw him
next; and then it occurred to her with a flash of half guilty joy that
he had not been in the dog cart as it dashed past, and that,
accordingly, some chance meeting was very sure to take place that day.
She meant to remonstrate with him, and put it boldly before him whether
it was his duty to stay from the office; but still she could not but
feel rather glad that he had stayed from the office that day.
As for Mr. John, he had, or supposed he had–or at least attempted to
make himself suppose that he had–something to do at home on that
particular day. His fishing-tackle had got out of order, and he had to
see to that, or there was something else of equal importance which
called his attention, and he had been in Masterton for two days in
succession. Thus his conscience was very clear. It is true that he
dawdled the morning away looking for Pamela, who was not to be found,
and was late in consequence–so late that young Keppel, whom he had
meant to join, had gone off with his rod on his shoulder to the Rectory
to lunch, and was on his way back again before Jack found his way to the
water-side. There are certain states of mind in which even dinner is an
indifferent matter to a young man; and as for luncheon, it was not
likely he would take the trouble to think of that.
"You are a nice fellow," said Keppel, "to keep a man lounging here by
himself all the time that's any good; and here you are now when the sun
is at its height. I don't understand that sort of work. What have you
been about all day?"
"I have not been lunching at the Rectory," said Jack. "Have a cigar, old
fellow? Now we are here, let's make the best of it. I've been waiting
about, kicking my heels, while you've been having lunch with Fanny
Hardcastle. But I'll tell you what, Keppel; I'd drop that if I were
"Drop what?" cried Mr. Keppel, guiltily.
"Dancing about after every girl who comes in your way," said Jack. "Why,
you were making an ass of yourself only the other day at Brownlows."
"Ah, that was out of my reach," said Keppel, shaking his head solemnly,
and he sighed. The sigh was such that Jack (who, as is well known, was
totally impervious to sentimental weaknesses) burst into a fit of
"I suppose you think little Fanny is not out of your reach," he said;
"but Fanny is very wide awake, I can tell you. You haven't got any
money; you're neglecting your profession."
"It is my profession that is neglecting me," said Keppel, meekly. "Don't
be hard upon a fellow, Jack. They say here that is you who are making an
ass of yourself. They say you are to be seen about all the lanes–"
"Who says?" said Jack; and he could not prevent a certain flush from
rising to his face. "Let every man mind his own business, and woman
too. As for you, Keppel, you would be inexcusable if you were to do any
thing ridiculous in that way. A young fellow with a good profession that
may carry him as high as he likes–as high as he cares to work for, I
mean; of course nothing was ever done without work–and you waste your
time going after every girl in the place–Fanny Hardcastle one day,
somebody else the next. You'll come to a bad end, if you don't mind."
"What is a fellow to do?" said Keppel. "When I see a nice girl–I am not
a block of wood, like you–I can't help seeing it. When a man has got
eyes in his head, what is the use of his being reasoned with by a man
who has none?"
"As good as yours any day," said Jack, with natural indignation. "What
use do you make of your eyes? I have always said marrying early was a
mistake; but, by Jove, marrying early is better than following every
girl about like a dog. Fanny Hardcastle would no more have you than Lady
"How do you know that?" said Keppel, quickly. "Besides–I–don't–want
her to have me," he added, with deliberation; and thereupon he occupied
himself for a long time very elaborately in lighting his cigar.
"It is all very well to tell me that," said Jack. "You want every one of
them, till you have seen the next. But look here, Keppel; take my
advice: never look at a woman again for ten years, and then get married
off-hand, and you'll bless me and my good counsel for all the rest of
your life."
"Thank you," said Keppel. "You don't say what I'm to do with myself
during the ten years; but, Jack, good advice is admirable, only one
would like to know that one's physician healed himself."
"Physicians never heal themselves; it is an impossibility upon the face
of it," said Jack, calmly. "A doctor is never such an idiot as to treat
his own case. Don't you know that? When I want ghostly counsel, I'll go
to–Mr. Hardcastle. I never attempt to advise myself–"
"You think he'd give Fanny to you," said Keppel, ruefully, "all for the
sake of a little money. I hate moneyed people,–give us another
cigar;–but she wouldn't have you, Jack. I hope I know a little better
than that."
"So much the better," said Jack; "nor you either, my boy, unless you
come into a fortune. Mr. Hardcastle knows better than that. Are we going
to stay here all day? I've got something to do up at the house."
"What have you got to do? I'll walk up that way with you," said Keppel,
lifting his basket from the grass.
"Well, it is not exactly at the house," said Jack. "The fact is, I am in
no particular hurry; I have somebody to see in the village–that is, on
the road to Ridley; let's walk that way, if you like."
"Inhospitable, by Jove!" said Keppel. "I believe, after all, what they
say must be true."
"What do they say?" said Jack, coldly. "You may be sure, to start with,
that it is not true; what they say never is. Come along, there's some
shade to be had along the river-side."
And thus the two young men terminated the day's fishing for which Jack
had abandoned the office. They strayed along by the river-side until he
suddenly bethought himself of business which led him in quite an
opposite direction. When this recollection occurred to his mind, Jack
took leave of his friend with the air of a man very full of occupation,
and marched away as seriously and slowly as if he had really been going
to work. He was not treating his own case. He had not even as yet begun
to take his own case into consideration. He was simply intent upon his
own way for the moment, and not disposed to brook any contradiction, or
even inquiry. No particular intention, either prudent or imprudent, made
his thoughts definite as he went on; no aims were in his mind. A certain
soft intoxication only possessed him. Somehow to Jack, as to every body
else, his own case was entirely exceptional, and not to be judged by
ordinary rules. And he neither criticised nor even inquired into his
personal symptoms. With Keppel the disease was plain, and the remedy
quite apparent; but as for himself, was he ill at all, that he should
want any physician's care?
This question, which Jack did not consider for himself, was resolved for
him in the most unexpected way. Mr. Brownlow had gone thoughtful and
almost stern to the office, reflecting upon his unfortunate
self-betrayal–vexed and almost irritated by the way in which Sara
essayed to keep up the private understanding between them. He came back,
no doubt, relieved of the cloud on his face; but still very grave, and
considering within himself whether he could not tell his daughter that
the events of that unlucky day were to count for nothing, and that the
project he had proposed to her was given over forever. His thoughts were
still so far incomplete, that he got down at the gate in order to walk
up the avenue and carry them on at leisure. As he did so he looked
across, as he too had got a habit of doing, at Mrs. Swayne's window–the
bright little face was not there. It was not there; but, in place of it,
the mother was standing at the door, shading her eyes from the rare
gleam of evening sun which reached the house, and looking out. Mr.
Brownlow did not know any thing about this mother, and she was not so
pleasant to look at as Pamela; yet, unawares, there passed through his
mind a speculation, what she was looking for? Was she too, perhaps, in
anxiety about her child? He felt half disposed to turn back and ask her,
but did not do it; and by the time he had found old Betty's cottage the
incident had passed entirely from his mind. Once more the sunshine was
slanting through the avenue, throwing the long tree-shadows and the long
softly-moving figure of the wayfarer before him as he went on. He was
not thinking of Jack, or any thing connected with him, when that
startling apparition met his eyes, and brought him to a stand-still. The
sight which made him suddenly stop short was a pretty one, had it been
regarded with indifferent eyes; and, indeed, it was the merest chance,
some passing movement of a bird or flicker of a branch, that roused Mr.
Brownlow from his own thoughts and revealed that pretty picture to him.
When the little flutter, whatever it was, roused him and he raised his
eyes, he saw among the trees, at no great distance from him, a pair such
as was wont to wander over soft sod, under blue sky, and amid all the
sweet interlacements of sunshine and shade–two creatures–young,
hopeful, and happy–the little one half-timid, half-trustful, looking up
into her companion's face; he so much taller, so much stronger, so much
bolder, looking down upon her–taking the shy hand which she still
withdrew, and yet still left to be retaken;–two creatures, unaware as
yet why they were so happy–glad to be together, to look at each other,
to touch each other–thinking no evil. Mr. Brownlow stood on the path
and looked, and his senses seemed to fail him. It was a bit out of
Arcadia, out of fairy-land, out of Paradise; and he himself once in his
life had been in Arcadia too. But in the midst of this exquisite little
poem one shrill discord of fact was what most struck the father's
ear–was it Jack? Jack!–he who was prudence itself–too prudent, even
so far as words went, for Mr. Brownlow's simple education and habits.
And, good heavens! the little neighbor, the little bright face at the
window which had won upon them all with its sweet friendly looks! Mr.
Brownlow was a man, and not sentimental, but yet the sight after the
first surprise gave him a pang at his heart. What did it mean? or could
it mean any thing but harm and evil? He waited, standing on the path,
clearly visible while they came softly forward absorbed in each other.
He was fixed, as it were, in a kind of silent trance of pain and
amazement. She was Sara's little humble friend–she was the little
neighbor, whose smiles had won even his own interest–she was the child
of the worn woman at the cottage door, who stood shading her eyes and
looking out for her with that anxious look in her face. All these
thoughts filled Mr. Brownlow's eyes with pity and even incipient
indignation. And Jack! was this the result of his premature prudence,
his character as a man of the world? His father's heart ached as they
came on so unconsciously. At last there came a moment when that curious
perception of another eye regarding them, which awakens even sleepers,
came over the young pair. Poor little Pamela gave a start and cry, and
fell back from her companion's side. Jack, for perhaps the first time in
his life thoroughly confounded and overwhelmed, stood stock-still,
gazing in consternation at the unthought-of spectator. Mr. Brownlow's
conduct at this difficult conjuncture was such as some people might
blame. When he saw their consternation he did not at that very moment
step in to improve the occasion. He paused that they might recognize
him; and then he took off his hat very gravely, with a certain
compassionate respect for the woman–the little weak fool-hardy creature
who was thus playing with fate; and then he turned slowly and went on.
It was as if a thunderbolt had fallen at the feet of the foolish young
pair. Hitherto, no doubt, these meetings had been clandestine, though
they did not know it; but now all at once illumination flashed upon
both. They were ashamed to be found together, and in a moment, in the
twinkling of an eye, both of them became conscious of the shame. They
gave one glance at each other, and then looked no more. What had they
been doing all those stolen hours?–all those foolish words, all those
soft touches of the warm rosy young fingers–what did they all mean? The
shock was so great that they scarcely moved or spoke for a minute, which
felt like an age. Perhaps it was greatest to Jack, who saw evidently
before him a paternal remonstrance, against which his spirit rose, and a
gulf of wild possibilities which made him giddy. But still Pamela was
the one whom it overwhelmed the most. She grew very pale, poor child!
the tears came to her eyes. "Oh, what will he think of me?" she said,
wringing her poor little hands. "Never mind what he thinks," said Jack;
but he could not keep out of his voice a certain tone which told the
effect which this scene had had upon him also. He walked with her to the
gate, but it was in a dutiful sort of way. And then their shame flashed
upon them doubly when Pamela saw her mother in the distance waiting for
her at the door. "Don't come any farther," she said, under her breath,
not daring to look at him; and thus they parted ashamed. They had not
only been seen by others; they had found themselves out.

text: new sse dissertation 2019-05-14 Siri Isaksson - Essays in Gender Economics Over the past six years, I have been reflecting on how gender differences in everyday decision-making may translate into economic inequalities. Despite equal access to education, and institutional efforts to close the gender gap in most advanced economies, women remain disadvantaged in terms of hiring, wages, and promotions on the labor market. This seems to suggest that norms, preferences, discrimination, and behavior may be upholding the labor market gender gap. For instance, if women systematically undervalue their contributions to shared work, this could lead to lower lifetime labor market outcomes. This thesis is my attempt to identify such behavioral channels. In particular, I study gender differences in group work, advice-seeking and retaliation. The first paper asks whether women claim less than appropriate credit for their contributions to successful group-work. A primary motivation for this study is that experimental research is typically conducted on the individual level, but professional life often happens in groups. How women value their individual contributions in a group setting may have a large impact on their working life, since individual contributions to group success are not transparent. This study also examines other related topics. It provides evidence on how gender composition affects team performance. In addition, it studies how men view the contribution of their female counterparts: are men less likely to trust the quality of their female team members' work? Does this affect the success of the group? The second and fourth paper, joint with Emma Heikensten, consider gender differences in advice seeking. Are women less likely to seek advice? Does advisor gender matter? The third paper, joint with Emma Heikensten and Sirus Dehdari Håfström, looks into whether men are more likely than women to seek revenge in a strategic setting. I use laboratory experiments and game show data to answer my research questions, and propose directions for future research on these topics.

Chrissy Teigen: I'm way too honest
News| |
Chrissy Teigen says she is "way too honest".
The 31-year-old star – who is known for being an incredibly open person – considers herself to be a mixture of too honest and "way too anxious".
She said: "Every step I take feels a little shaky. It's such a weird feeling that you wouldn't know unless you have really bad anxiety … You feel like everyone is looking at you.
"I'm the person who had the fake ID in high school and college, and I would show it and be like, 'I'm sorry; it's fake,' and run off. I don't know if it's way too honest or way too anxious – maybe it's a combo of both."
And Chrissy was honest enough to open up about her sex life with husband John Legend.
She told the new issue of Marie Claire magazine: "John and I had a double date, and we were joking around, and I go, 'John's never seen my butthole.' And John says, 'Are you kidding? Every time anyone does anything doggy style, you see a butthole. I see it every time.' I was like, 'We are never doing it doggy style again.'"
Earlier this year, Chrissy decided to bravely open up about her battle with postpartum depression.
She shared at the time: "I went back to work on 'Lip Sync Battle' in August, when Luna was four months. The show treated me incredibly well … But I was different than before. Getting out of bed to get to set on time was painful. My lower back throbbed; my shoulders – even my wrists – hurt. I didn't have an appetite.
"I would go two days without a bite of food, and you know how big of a deal food is for me. One thing that really got me was just how short I was with people …
"I couldn't figure out why I was so unhappy. I blamed it on being tired and possibly growing out of the role, 'Maybe I'm just not a goofy person anymore. Maybe I'm just supposed to be a mom.'"

Former Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke and Bernie Sanders finally agree on something
Before launching his campaign to seek out the Democratic nomination, Senator Bernie Sanders was already known as an outspoken critic of wealth and income inequality in the U.S. During the recession in the late 2000s, he was especially critical of then Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and his handling of the economic crisis. The Vermont Senator even stood up against Bernanke when he was renominated by President Obama for a second term as chairman, and called him an "abysmal failure."
In his new memoir, "A Courage to Act," Bernanke writes that Sanders saw the world "as a vast conspiracy of big corporations and the wealthy."
But in an interview with Fusion's Jorge Ramos, Bernanke seemed to find some common ground with Sanders when it comes to distribution of wealth.
"Over the last forty years or so we've seen wages and wealth becoming more unequally distributed," he told Ramos. "And it's an important problem, one we need to address."
Watch the full interview with Ben Bernanke below.

Were we ever told why he was saved, by whom (Manhattan?), or why he was capturing folks like Mxy and Tim Drake? At what point will this be undone and Jor El returned to his place in history? Or has this been addressed already?
Were we ever told why he was saved, by whom (Manhattan?), or why he was capturing folks like Mxy and Tim Drake? At what point will this be undone and Jor El returned to his place in history? Or has this been addressed already?
Nope to all of that. Maybe the finale of Doomsday Clock will gloss over it and give an answer, but even then it likely won't have time to get into the more detailed stuff like his taking Tim and Mxy prisoners. That will probably be forever unexplained.
And in a way Jor-El already was returned to his place in history. Just not via a reset of Manhattan's meddling. The elder Jor-El was sent back in time to Krypton's destruction as punishment for his crimes. Basically now two versions of Jor-El died there that day, the young Jor-El and the old one. It was a pretty dumb conclusion, but he's gone now regardless.
"They can be a great people Kal-El, they wish to be. They only lack the light to show the way. For this reason above all, their capacity for good, I have sent them you. My only son." - Jor-El
"Your boos mean nothing, Ive seen what makes you cheer!
My guess is they had some kind of New 52 based plan for him and when they decided to get rid of the New 52, he was this plot thread they had left dangling out there they had to deal with and couldn't really come up with anything. They spent so much energy building up to him that I have to believe they had something in mind but Rebirth kind of put the kibosh on it. I think there were all kinds of things in the works they were planning that never got off the ground or had to be diverted due to continuity changes. Some have suggested Doomsday Clock was meant to have a different ending too until Bendis changed the Legion.
Now listen to me, Clark! This great strength of yours--you've got to hide it from people or they'll be scared of you!
I hope at some point we get some behind the scenes info on what would've happened had Johns stayed on and Doomsday Clock was completed as originally planned.
They still haven't explained what the whole 'splitting Superman' thing was all about, and whether Oz did it or Manhattan.
And how does it work in the context of Jor-El being Oz?
They present Oz as being the Post-Reborn version of Jor-El. But Oz predates the merger of the two Supermen. So Pre-Reborn, was Oz the New 52 Jor-El or the Pre-Flashpoint Jor-El? Or was he somehow already the Post-Reborn Jor-El?
How does Convergence tie into the splitting of the two Supermen?
Manhattan claims that the New 52 Superman was the product of his tampering with Superman's history. Is that somehow part of the splitting of Superman? How does what Vyndyktv did during Morrison's run tie into this?
If the Metal saga was in concept around the time that Oz was brought back for Rebirth, and I have to believe it was at least in development, they should have connected him to that whole deal and not Doomsday Clock. Mr. Oz should have been a Dark Multiverse version of Jonathan.

While Jor-El's story has been resolved, they left out the most important part...WHY WAS JOR-EL SAVED AND KEPT IN THE TIMELINE IN THE FIRSTPLACE???
I'm not convinced it was the change from nu52 to Rebirth that screwed up the storytelling...I think it was the interminable delays in getting Doomsday Clock published that caused it. If the book had come out on time his story would have been resolved before Bendis came along. Instead, D-Clock is so late that Jor-El ended up being a dangling plot thread that they got sick of hanging around.
We'll find out next week whether Jor-El's story gets addressed in the final issue of Doomsday ClusterClock, … but I'm guessing no. Jor is gone now, and we'll probably never know why he was saved by Dr Manhattan, why he was pulling people like Tim out of the timeline, or who the other "mystery" characters in his dimensional prison were. To my recollection he hadn't been mentioned in issues #1-11, so it would be odd to bring him into the story at this late date, just to explain a story that took place in a completely different book.
I'm pretty sure DC has been nothing but dropped storylines for the last ten years. Remember all the stuff they were building up and establishing after Blackest Night? Yeah, that lasted for two seconds before the reboot hit. Tons of threads from the New52 got dropped between DCYOU and Rebirth, and now Rebirth is dropping plot points it started nearly four years ago in 2016. And how many plot points will end up being forgotten if these 5G rumors turn out to be true?
Seriously, I'm considering sending a pitch to DC. I can't be any worse than what we're already getting.

As genealogists we understand the value of oral histories. We also know the information therein must be taken "with a grain of salt." An oral history is one person's point of view and/or remembrance of an event. Even if it isn't right-on, this is valuable in understanding our ancestors, their experiences and though processes.
We are told to talk to our relatives before it is too late. Taping an oral history is a wonderful way to capture their memories of people and events. This post is a how-to from my years of experience of oral history interviews and transcribing them.
1. Decide your mission. What information do you want to capture? Ask the person to fill out a family genealogy chart with as much information as possible before the interview. Have the charts there with as much information filled in as possible so the interviewee can add to and/or correct the information.
2. Research as much as possible so that questions can be developed to meet your goals. The questions should be narrow enough that the person can answer easily. Contact the person to be interviewed, set a date, and then mail the questions to them at least a week ahead. It takes time to bring up memories, find the information, and deal with the associated emotions. At the end of the interview ask if they have photos to share (so they can be scanned and returned immediately to them.) Caution: Don't get caught up in looking at a photo album during the interview. There is nothing more useless than hearing – "And this is me and this is my brother…".
3. Ask the interviewee to use full names, dates, and place names when possible. Instead of, "my grandparents…" ask them to say, "My grandparents John and Jane Smith…" If might help if you suggest they think of you as a complete stranger who knows nothing about the family.
4. Interview only one person at a time. I can't stress this enough. If a family member insists on being there the rule is – they are not to say a word. Transcribing is impossible when more than one person is talking at a time. And having someone sitting there telling the person, "No, that's not right. That happened in 1949…" is not helpful. I have also found that when two people are being interviewed, one partner is always dominant and you don't hear the voice of the other. An interviewee might also be intimidated by another sitting there – even a close friend – you won't get the information you are seeking.
5. Don't interrupt. Ask the question and give the person time to draw on the memories, emotions, and then tell their story. If they veer off course, steer them back. The interviewer should say as little as possible. The oral history is not about the interviewer; it is about the interviewee. The goal is to get the interviewee talking about their family, their past, what life was like growing up. A few moments of silence is o.k. Nod and smile encouraging them to continue. They are bringing up memories. Get them to state specifics as to stores, people who ran the stores, the farms, farm machinery, animals, schools, teachers, classmates. Most colorful people in town, etc.
6. Eliminate background noises. It is difficult to hear when there are loud clocks, dogs barking, phones ringing, sirens, coughing.
7. Make sure your equipment works. Have fresh batteries in the recorder and have it turned on high volume. Have it close to the person to pick up their voice. Make sure they don't put their hand over their mouth when talking. Have a back-up system just in case.
8. This process is tiring; about two hours is max, so if you get someone who has a lot of information, you may want to make an appointment to visit them again.

Art lovers head to Royston gallery for nature exhibition preview
PUBLISHED: 12:01 16 September 2017
Art lovers have flocked to a Royston gallery to check out their latest exhibition – which was all about nature.
Selena Bragg's pottery, Christine Norman's watercolour pieces and Maggie Allen's oil paintings are exhibited in the Curwens Art Gallery in High Street, and the sneak peak event was hailed a success.
Maggie, who lives in Royston and started painting in 2006, told the Crow: "The preview went very well, lots of people turned up and we all enjoyed meeting new people and having a chat over a glass of wine."
Maggie met Selena through Cambridge wood turner Rowland Penfold, who also regularly exhibits his work at Curwens.
Curwens' Amanda Thurston told the Crow: "The evening was well-attended with lots of interest in the original artwork and some sales!
"Selena Bragg exhibited her beautiful and tactile pottery – produced into all shapes and sizes including coasters and jewellery.
"Christine Norman is a new artist to Curwens and produced paintings in watercolours, acrylic and mixed media.
"Maggie Allen has developed a new direction with powerful and colourful abstract work in oils.
"There was something for everyone."
The exhibition is open weekdays from 9am to 5pm until November 3.
There is a special opening on Saturday, September 23, from 10am to 2pm as part of Royston Arts Festival.
For more information, email firstname.lastname@example.com.

At this point, park officials anticipate the campground will be fully open to the public again on May 25.
"Due to recent heavy spring rain resulting in localized flooding, Rondeau Provincial Park has temporarily closed all campsites until further notice. Public safety is our main priority," states a media release from Ontario Parks. "Staff are monitoring conditions daily and we will reopen the campground as soon as it's safe to do so."
The park remains open for day use from 8am until 10pm.
"By closing areas of the park, Ontario Parks' staff are trying to limit the impacts to the environment while the soil is saturated," the media release says. "Even walking in some areas may lead to soil compaction and rutting that would be difficult to repair after the campsites dry out."
Ontario Parks says all guests with campsite reservations are being contacted and offered a full refund or the option to change their reservation with no penalty.
Once the rain subsides, park staff will work on gradually opening campsites.
Updates on park conditions can be found online.

MONTREAL — A former Montreal university professor who fatally shot four academics in 1992 has once again been declared a vexatious litigant, this time by the Federal Court of Appeal.
Justice David Stratas recently ruled that Valery Fabrikant, who is serving a life sentence in Quebec, unduly wastes the resources of other people and the court through the many legal procedures he's initiated from behind bars.
Fabrikant, now 79, was an associate professor of mechanical engineering at Concordia University.
He was facing dismissal when, in August 1992, he went into the engineering department and opened fire, killing four academics and wounding a secretary.
Stratas noted that Fabrikant meets the criteria of a vexatious litigant, which includes filing lawsuits with little merit, trying repeatedly to file appeals without obtaining leave and making unfounded accusations of bias, incapacity or fraud against members of the court.
The Federal Court and Quebec Superior Court have previously given Fabrikant the designation, which means he generally needs permission before filing further lawsuits.
Among his previous lawsuits was one in which he claimed his former Concordia colleagues had stolen his work — a case he ultimately lost when the Supreme Court of Canada refused to hear the case.
In 2014, however, he won a bid to be granted a second winter parka after an appeal court decided there was no good reason for prison authorities to deny him one.
