CHANGE Plus is a project aiming at promoting behaviour change towards the abandonment of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) in practising communities across the EU.
The project is coordinated by TERRE DES FEMMES and jointly implemented by seven European partner organisations and two African associated partners. It is co-funded by the European Union.
The partner organisations are:
The West-African associated partners are:
CHANGE Plus runs from 15th of January 2016 until 14th of January 2018.
The predecessor project, CHANGE, ran from March 2013 till February 2015 and has been implemented by Euronet-FGM, FORWARD, FSAN, Plan International, RISK and coordinated by TERRE DES FEMMES.
On the 23rd November 2017 the CHANGE Plus partner organizations, CHANGE Agents and Champions, FGM activists, community members, policy makers, key professionals and scientists met on the occasion of the final conference of the EU co-funded CHANGE Plus project. The participants reflected their cooperation of the last two years, talked about their experiences, presented and evaluated results and discussed strategies for the abandonment of female genital mutilation (FGM).
The conference, which was organized by TDF Project Coordinator Charlotte Weil, started with three opening speeches. Laila Wold welcomed the participants in the name of the information office of the European Parliament in Germany. Prof. Godula Kosack, Board Member of TERRE DES FEMMES, introduced the audience into the topic of FGM and handed over to Rakieta Sawadogo Poyga, patron of the CHANGE Plus project and founder of the organization Association Bangr Nooma (ABN). She travelled from Burkina Faso to the conference and talked about her long-time experience in the fight against female genital mutilation.
On 22nd November 2017 the European Exchange Meeting (as part of the CHANGE Plus project) took place in Berlin. CHANGE Agents from each partner organization attended the meeting to exchange views, share their experiences in the project, and prepare for the flag action and the final conference on the 23rd. The Change Agents discussed the following topics: "Engaging as a CHANGE Agent/Champion – why and how?", "Talking about challenges – how do you respond to resistance/rejection?", "Lessons learned – how to improve the work as a CHANGE Agent?", "Working with media – Strategies and self-care" and "Targeting the political level – lobbying and advocacy work". Very fruitful discussions and mutual learning took place.
We would like to thank all the CHANGE Agents for their participation.
On October 12th 2017 the CHANGE agents of the CHANGE plus project met for their ninth exchange meeting. The meeting was used to reflect recent activities, to discuss the project and to consider how to proceed with the team CHANGE.
In the meantime, all CHANGE agents who were trained by TDF as multipliers in the fight against female genital mutilation last year have carried out their activities within their communities and thus passed on the topic to many people. With many conversations and fruitful discussions the CHANGE agents were able to initiate a rethink in their communities.
The last milestones of the CHANGE Plus project are the CHANGE Plus Final Conference - "Protecting Girls - Together Against Female Genital Mutilation" on 23th November 2017 and a Public Certification Event for the CHANGE agents on 9th December 2017.
We would like to thank the CHANGE team once again for their commitment and dedication and we are looking forward to further cooperation!
On September 26th 2017, the CHANGE Champions/Agents met with about 30 members of the European Parliament in Brussels and other stakeholders. The goal was to advocate the support for survivors and the protection of young girls. Therefore, the representatives engaged in dialogue with the politicians, sharing their experiences and challenges from the grassroot levels. In addition, political demands were made and advice was given on how to further tackle FGM.
The meeting was hosted by MEPs Julie Ward (S&D) & Anna Maria Corazza Bildt (EPP). The project coordinator Charlotte Weil started with a general presentation of the CHANGE Plus project. Afterwards, representatives of the project consortium and local communities presented their experiences and so far outcomes of the project. Thus, an extract of "Amina", an awareness-raising video developed, written and played by CHANGE Champions in Hamburg about the situation of FGM survivors in Germany, was presented.

Of all the people who should know better, it's Rex Ryan.
Ryan had three opportunities to save the game and the Jets season in the fourth quarter Monday night and passed on all of them. In the end, the Jets lost 23-17 to the undefeated Houston Texans, and the Jets season continues to slip away with Sanchez at quarterback.
With the Jets down 23-14 with 13 minutes to go in the fourth quarter, Tim Tebow took the ball, bulldozed his way through the Texans line, ran over three Texan defenders, dragged them another three yards for a 13 yard gain and a first down at the Houston three yard line. The stadium was alive. It had Tebow time written all over it.
After a hurried up play which went for no gain, Rex Ryan did the inexplicable. He took out Tebow and put Sanchez back in the game. You know what happens next. Two incomplete passes by Sanchez that had no chance of being completed and the Jets had to settle for a field goal that cut the lead to six. The momentum was gone.
Rex Ryan should have known better.
Yet another opportunity presented itself with nine minutes to go in the fourth. The banged up Jets defense once again valiantly stopped the explosive Texans offense, offering another chance for Ryan to put Tebow in to save the game.
Yet Sanchez was back on the field. The Jets had great field position at their own 42 yard line, but couldn't move the ball deep into Texan's territory. Another punt, another wasted opportunity.
Once again the Jets proceeded to stop the Texans from doing anything on offense, giving the ball back to the Jets with a little over three minutes to go in the game, still down six points.
Ryan had a choice. A choice that could turn around not only this game, but the entire season. He could put an ineffective Sanchez back in as quarterback, or he could have looked to his bench and put in a quarterback who in late fourth quarter situations becomes the human NFL Redzone Channel.
Ryan chose Sanchez. The results were obvious. Sanchez was picked off in Jets territory with 1:51 left, and the game was essentially over. To be fair, the interception wasn't Sanchez's fault, but does anyone think the drive would have ended any different?
What makes Rex Ryan's decision to put Sanchez back on the field even more baffling, is that of all the people who should know how Tebow can put a team on his back late in the fourth quarter and turn an entire season around, it's Ryan and the Jets.
Last year against the Broncos, Tebow had the ball on his own four yard line with over five minutes to go with the Jets up three. The Broncos quarterback then proceeded to take his offense on a 96 yard drive, capped off by a 20 yard touchdown run by Tebow. This Tebow drive won the game and saved his team's season.
Memo to Rex Ryan: That quarterback is now on your team.
Save your season. Start him.

Del Jordan
This is the central character in the story and its narrator. She is a girl with innumerable questions about the world, the answers to which she likes to learn through listening and observing people. Even when her observations are off base, she is glad to have something with which to fill the hole it question previously made.
Del's Mother
This character is something of an anomaly in Jubilee, like her daughter. When she gets a job as a traveling encyclopedia salesperson, she shrugs off the expectations placed on women in Jubilee and blazes her own trail, much to the chagrin and disapproval of others.
This character lives in a world quite apart from that in which Del's real family resides--a type of parallel universe constructed by Del's imagination. Even the newspapers he reads are full of alternate reality and escapism. He fills his mind with...

How to take sedation away when taking anti depressents like rispedal saphris fanapt and etc?
- Asked
- 26 May 2011 by lerouge
- Updated
- 9 January 2013
- Topics
- sedation, schizoaffective disorder, fanapt, saphris
Responses (2)
Hello lerouge. What has helped me, and often doctors suggest it, is by splitting your dose. Some will argue that by doing that, your body is not receiving the full potental strength of the dose, the full theraputic capability of the drug. I say it varies from one drug, dose, to the person individual chemistry to absorb and process the drug. Best of wishes,
These are not antidepressants, they're all antipsychotics. If you are not schizophrenic, bipolar, or psychotic, they are probably not appropriate for you.
These drugs have numerous side-effects beyond drowsiness -- including weight gain and blood sugar elevation leading to diabetes. There can also be serious psychiatric side-effects. For example, Fanapt: 'Psychiatric side effects including restlessness, aggression, and delusion have been reported frequently.'
If you do not have one of the conditions mentioned above I would strongly suggest you talk to your doctor about changing therapies, especially if you were told these were antidepressants, as these drugs can cause depression.
Until you can talk to your doctor, your best bet is to split the dose and see how you do. Good luck!

Antony Worrall Thompson is a British celebrity chef.
He has published many books, has owned and run several restaurants and been on food programmes on TV. He writes for the Daily Express newspaper, and the BBC's "Good Food" magazine.
Antony has bright red hair, a nose that he broke seven times while playing sports, and is just 5 feet 8 inches tall (1.7 metres.) He has been married three times: he once tried to kill himself on a runway at Los Angeles airport over a woman.
He is often quite critical in public of other food celebrities, and they have responded in kind. He even got a response out of Delia Smith, when he dismissed her scrambled eggs as lousy and said she was "the coldest woman on the television." She said, "He is dreadful, just repulsive. Food and Drink (Antony's TV show) is the most disgusting programme on television. I will never ever know, as long as I live, how the BBC or the general public can tolerate it." For his 50th birthday, though, Delia sent him a picture of herself wearing a T-shirt that said "I love you really Antony."
Antony was born 1952, in Stratford-upon-Avon. His grandmother helped pay for his schooling at The King's School (a private school) in Canterbury. Just outside Canterbury, an aunt of his ran a pub. He went there often on Sundays to help out in the kitchen. When he was 16, he swam across the English channel.
He then studied cooking and the restaurant business at Westminster College. When he left Westminster College and worked at some jobs in Essex County, his grandmother, who was a bit of a snob, wouldn't write to him because she didn't think Essex County was high enough up on the social scale for her family.
He moved into London in September 1978 to take the job of sous-chef at Brinkley's Restaurant in the Fulham Road. Within one month, he had become head chef. In 1979, he took six months off to do a working sabbatical in France, then returned to Brinkley's.
In 1981, he opened his own first restaurant, the Menage à Trois in Chelsea, which became a favourite of Princess Diana's. It served just starters and desserts.
In 1998, he became the main presenter for "Food and Drink" programme on BBC Two television until 2002, along with Emma Crowhurst.
In 2004, Thompson acquired a food pub, The Greyhound in Rotherfield Peppard, Oxfordshire. He was forced to close it at the end of January 2009 owing to financial difficulties, but reopened it again that same year on 13 July 2010. A year later, in July 2010, The Greyhound received a hygiene score of just 1 out of 5 from the South Oxfordshire District Council. Thompson dismissed the rating scheme, and score, as "nonsense… We are in the recession and they are trying to kill people's businesses."

These simple yet unforgettable Baked Vanilla Bean Doughnuts will make vanilla your new favorite flavor.
If you had to pick one dessert to describe your personality, what would it be? Maybe you're traditional like chocolate chip cookies or a little bit sassy like a fruit tart. Maybe you're intense like Chocolate Chili Cookies. Or maybe you're simple like these Baked Vanilla Bean Doughnuts. Today I'm teaming up with Baker's Joy to help launch their "Which Sweet Treat Are You?" quiz that pairs your baking personality with one of nine delicious desserts. My challenge was to create a simple yet not boring recipe focusing on vanilla. Trust me when I say this – these doughnuts will change your mind about liking vanilla.
If you've been reading my blog for awhile, you probably know I'm not exactly simple when developing recipes, so this was a fun challenge for me. What can I make with vanilla that is simple yet unforgettable? After all, simple does not equal boring. I chose to make doughnuts (or is it donuts?) in my baking pan since they take little effort to make. Make the batter, pipe into pan, bake 10 minutes, done. If you wake up early enough, I bet you could have these ready in time for breakfast.
Vanilla is one of those ingredients where you need to buy high-quality vanilla. Look for the bottle that says pure vanilla extract and not imitation vanilla extract. I promise it's worth those extra couple of bucks. Next you'll need to buy vanilla beans. Don't bother buying any from the store because they are expensive; it's much cheaper to buy online.
If you say you don't like vanilla, chances are you never had vanilla bean before. Ice cream is the perfect example. There's boring vanilla ice cream from an ice cream stand, then there's homemade vanilla bean ice cream. These tender baked doughnuts are speckled with vanilla bean, which kicks up the vanilla flavor a notch. Maybe I should've called them Triple Vanilla Doughnuts because you have vanilla bean and extract in the batter then a vanilla glaze on top.
Make sure you take the "Which Sweet Treat Are You?" quiz then come back here and leave a comment telling me what your dessert personality is! From April 22 – May 5, you can take the quiz as many times as you want for a chance to win a daily prize which includes $50 Visa gift cards and a year's supply of Baker's Joy and be entered to win the grand prize of $500 Visa gift card, KitchenAid mixer, and a year's supply of Baker's Joy.
Update – Here is the doughnut pan I used (Amazon affiliate link):
Yields 9
30 minPrep Time
10 minCook Time
40 minTotal Time
- 1 1/3 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 vanilla bean, split in half down the middle longways and seeds scraped into a bowl (discard the pod)
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- Pinch of salt
- 3-4 teaspoons milk
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Preheat the oven to 375F. Lightly spray two baked doughnut pans.*
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Beat in the vanilla bean seeds, egg, and vanilla extract until incorporated then add the milk. Gradually beat in the flour mixture until just incorporated.
- Spoon the batter into a pastry bag** then pipe into each doughnut cavity, being careful not to fill it too full. Bake 8-10 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes then remove from the pan and finish cooling on a cooling rack.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, salt, 3 teaspoons milk, and vanilla until smooth. If it's too thick for a glaze, add the extra teaspoon of milk.
- Once the doughnuts are completely cool, dip the tops of each doughnut into the glaze and let the excess drip off. Let the glaze harden before serving. Store in an airtight container.
If you only have one doughnut pan, bake the first six doughnuts. Once you remove them from the pan, cool in the fridge for 5 minutes then finish baking the remaining doughnuts.
*It's easiest to pipe the batter into the pan using a pastry bag fitted with a large round tip (either a real pastry bag or a sandwich bag with the corner cut off), but you can also carefully spoon in the batter.

Decorating with pink doesn't need to be confined to a nursery or little girl's bedroom. There are so many shades available, even if you have a man in the house who might put up some resistance to a pink living room, odds are he wouldn't notice it in the form or coral, salmon or carmine. Pink doesn't have to just mean girlie and feminine – it is a trendy, modern color that can look up to date in any room. A few pink accents can bring a whole new look to a room.

WINDERMERE, Fla. - The professional athletes, bold-faced celebrities and corporate moguls who live in Tiger Woods' neighbourhood favour it less for its clay tennis courts and Arnold Palmer-designed golf course than for its two-and-a-half-metre security wall and platoon of private guards.
Among the many Isleworth amenities - sprawling outdoor sculptures, picturesque lakes, an 8,200-square-metre clubhouse - the one its well-to-do residents value most is its privacy. That's been harder to maintain since Friday, when the world's top golfer and most famous athlete smashed his Cadillac SUV into a fire hydrant and a tree as he pulled out of his driveway in the middle of the night.
Woods' crash outside his multimillion-dollar home near Orlando has drawn a media mob to the exclusive 300-family community, or more specifically, to its gated checkpoints. Visitors can only get past the Spanish-tiled gatehouse at the main entrance if a resident gives their name to a guard. The white-shirted guards in quasi-police uniforms then check visitors' IDs to verify names on the list.
More than a dozen television trucks were camped outside the entrance Monday as almost 100 reporters, photographers and TV crew members filmed residents' comings and goings. TV helicopters hovered overhead.
And the media are likely to stay until they get answers to where Woods was headed at 2:25 a.m. and what caused the crash. Woods, who briefly lost consciousness and was treated for cuts and bruises at a hospital, has issued two short statements through his Web site and has declined to talk with the Florida Highway Patrol.
In his statements, the famously insular golfer called the accident embarrassing and asked the public to respect - what else? - his privacy.
It's the second time in three months his community has made national news. In September, a prominent developer having money problems was accused of fatally shooting his wife in their home, which was once owned by Palmer.
Bob Ward is charged with second-degree murder in the death of his 55-year-old wife, Diane. He has pleaded not guilty and is free on a US$100,000 bail.
In a state that boasts locales like Miami Beach and Key West, there are ritzier, more exotic spots than Isleworth, which sits on old orange groves amid the central Florida swamps.
Yet since the neighbourhood's development in the 1980s, it has attracted sports stars and celebrities by the dozen. Former and current residents include Shaquille O'Neal, Penny Hardaway and Dee Brown from the NBA; baseball star Ken Griffey Jr.; Andre Reed of the NFL; former Wimbledon doubles champion Todd Woodbridge; and actor Wesley Snipes.
So many PGA golfers live in Isleworth that the neighbourhood fields a team each year to play in a tournament against a rival luxury neighbourhood in metro Orlando. Isleworth's Tavistock Cup team this year included Mark O'Meara, Stuart Appleby, Darren Clarke, John Cook, J.B. Holmes, Charles Howell III and Woods, among other pros. Florida doesn't have a state income tax and there are nearby numerous world-class courses where they can practice.
Orlando Magic forward Vince Carter has lived in Isleworth long before he came to the NBA franchise this season. Carter, who grew up in Daytona Beach, said he chose the community as a place where he can relax.
"I like quiet. I like being a little out of the way," Carter said.
Carter also said he sympathizes with Woods, who has attended Magic games in the past with courtside seats.
Pro athletes are specifically attracted to Isleworth, where new homes range from $1.5 million to $8 million, "because of the security and the class of the whole place and its accessibility to the airport," said Joyce McClane, a retiree who was one of Isleworth's earliest residents. She bought a lot in the neighbourhood with her husband in 1987.
For Kyung Hee Yoon, the appeal is security. She and her radiologist husband bought a $2.5-million home five years ago after moving to central Florida from New York. Having celebrity neighbours such as the PGA's Appleby was almost an afterthought, she said.
"It is actually not really a big deal," she said. "I sometimes see (famous) people but it doesn't bother me. They're just treated like neighbours."
With its golf course, tennis courts and camp for kids, Isleworth's country club is the nexus of the neighbourhood's social life. Sometimes the celebrity athletes get special treatment and can play golf when the course is closed.
"It's just a perfect life," McClane said. "We're very fortunate."
Usually a bastion of privilege and privacy, Tiger Woods' neighbourhood besieged since his crash
WINDERMERE, Fla. - The professional athletes, bold-faced celebrities and corporate moguls who live in Tiger Woods' neighbourhood favour it less for its clay tennis courts and Arnold Palmer-designed golf course than for its two-and-a-half-metre security wall and platoon of private guards.

AFI Life Achievement: Mike Nichols
EmptyMike Nichols career timeline
There's a curious paradox about Mike Nichols: The industry loves him, but critics are often lukewarm to one of the dominant filmmakers of the past four decades. Why?
On one level, the answer is simple: While Nichols has shown a mastery of craftsmanship and an almost unrivaled ability to draw the best from actors, his later films have avoided conveying the visual flair or easily defined worldview of a Quentin Tarantino or Martin Scorsese.
Directors like these seem to exist only for and through the camera; others, like Nichols, are somehow larger than the camera -- and, arguably, the work itself. Speak to those who know Nichols and they veritably gush about his charm, intellect, vitality -- noting that even now, at 78, he remains ferociously active, toiling away at a slew of new projects, from an adaptation of Patricia Highsmith's "Deep Water" to a remake of Kurosawa's "High and Low" (written, of all people, by Chris Rock).
But it's the very protean nature of Nichols' work that makes him elusive.
Perhaps that's the way Nichols wants it. When he returned to filmmaking with 1983's "Silkwood," after a seven-year hiatus, he eschewed the visual pyrotechnics that had marked some of his earlier pictures, as if he wished to make himself less visible, rather than more so. Perhaps, too, it's because of the sheer range of his work, from the dark comedy of "The Graduate" to the intense drama of "Silkwood" to the broad comedy of "The Birdcage," with long stints in stand-up, theater and television along the way.
Born Michael Igorevitch Peschkowsky, Nichols is rich in contradiction -- a German Jew who redefined himself with the most quintessentially American of names; a groundbreaking performer (his sketches with Elaine May are legendary) who largely turned his back on performing; a man of urbane charm who admits to having had a breakdown of sorts in the 1980s.
Nichols left his native Germany as a child and moved to New York in 1939, at age 7. At the University of Chicago, he met May, with whom he started to create comedy. Soon the duo was performing some of the most original work onstage. But it was not until Nichols began directing -- almost by accident in 1963 when he was asked to stage Neil Simon's "Barefoot in the Park" -- that he discovered himself.
Mike Nichols directing "The Graduate"
"In the first 15 minutes of the first day's rehearsal," he has said, "I understood that this was my job, that this was what I had been preparing to do without knowing it."
When he burst onto the motion picture scene with "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" (1966) and then "The Graduate" (1967), his talent seemed staggering. When he followed those with "Catch-22" (1970) and "Carnal Knowledge" (1971), he was hailed by many, even if the movies didn't have quite their predecessors' success.
Then "Day of the Dolphin" (1973) and "The Fortune" (1975) stumbled, and Nichols vanished from the movies until "Silkwood."
To Nichols himself, it might have seemed that his subsequent work was deliberately less flashy; to critics, it appeared as though he'd become more conventional. Skilled moviemaking like "Working Girl" (1988) and "Primary Colors" (1998) failed to restore his earlier standing.
But at the same time, Nichols was extending himself in all sorts of ways, producing gems like "Remains of the Day" (1993); tackling one of the most acclaimed miniseries on television, "Angels in America" (2003); and returning over and over to the theater -- recently, with one of the most successful Broadway productions in years, "Spamalot."
What these projects showed was a man whose breadth and scope knew no bounds. But that's not the quality most prized in our times.
If the era of the generalist ever returns, Nichols will be recognized for everything that's best about him; if we continue down a narrow path of specialization, he risks being underappreciated.

There were plenty of highs and lows for the Cabot Panthers and Lady Panthers Friday night in Mountain Home.
The Lady Panthers fell 50-48 in overtime against the Lady Bombers to begin the night. In the boys� game, the Panthers were dominant in taking a 47-30 win at The Hangar.
The Cabot Lady Panthers jumped out to a 9-1 lead to begin the game and held on for a 13-10 lead by the end of the first quarter.
A three-pointer and jumper by Jaylin Bridges gave the Lady Panthers a 20-14 lead early in the second quarter. The Lady Bombers cut the lead down to one before Cabot finished strong and took a 24-19 lead into halftime.
Elliot Taylor opened up the second half with a three-point play that helped Cabot equal their largest lead of the game at eight points. Taylor and Bridges tied for Cabot�s scoring lead with 12 points apiece.
Mountain Home�s Katie Kapler, who led all scorers with 23 points, led the Lady Bombers back into the game.
The Lady Bombers didn�t have a lead all night until midway through the fourth quarter when a pair of back-to-back threes gave them a 36-35 lead.
Trailing 39-37, the Lady Panthers tied the game on an Ally Van Enk offensive rebound and putback. After a pair of Kapler free throws, Cabot�s Alyssa Hamilton sent the game into overtime with a layup, tying the score at 41-41. Van Enk finished with 10 points for the Lady Panthers, while Hamilton had six points and six rebounds.
The Lady Panthers struck first in overtime with a baseline jumper by Bridges, quickly fell behind after a Bomber bucket followed by a turnover and another basket.
Later trailing 49-45, Bridges cut the lead to one with a three-pointer from the top of the key with 24 seconds left to play. The Lady Bombers only converted one free throw after quickly being fouled, but Cabot was unable to convert two good scoring chances in the final seconds.
The loss dropped the Lady Panthers to 13-7 overall and 6-4 in the conference.
Danielle McWilliams scored six points, while Ryan Wilson added two points to round out Cabot�s scoring.
In the last game before the long ride home, Cabot turned the game around after trailing 11-5 in the first quarter to post a 47-30 win.
Cabot took its first lead midway through the second quarter at 17-15 thanks to a Michael Smith basket. Smith went on to have his best night of the season, leading Cabot with 20 points.
The Panthers� defense took over the game the entire second half, while the offense was on fire in the second and fourth quarters. Cabot outscored Mountain Home 36-16 in those two quarters. They allowed just three points in the third quarter.
Kyle Thielemier scored nine points for Cabot, while Bryan Shrum added six points and Clayton Vaught five. Hunter York made a three-pointer, while Ryan Stafford and Adolpho Iglesias scored two points apiece in the win.

the case was closed last week with a tokyo court ruling against canon and a decision that recycling cartridges did not infringe on any patents. the decision means that recycled cartridges have now become legal in japan, a market that has not had a cheaper recycled option before. it is expected that a number of companies will now take the initiative and start offering cheaper cartridges, and that printer makers such as canon could see a decrease in profits from their cartridge business.
canon is currently reviewing the decision and deciding whether to appeal.

matthew's opinion
this is much like the lexmark case (see our previous coverage), where the big printer makers are desperately trying to keep a handle on who can supply cartridges for their printers. obviously, the monopoly situation suits them just fine, with an official cartridge making these companies massive profits. if only official cartridges can be used in the printers then profits are assured. the only benefit of this to the consumer is that the initial cost of the printer is much lower as a way to entice you into buying one … then you are tied in to the cartridges from that maker.
this ruling sets a precedent that all third-party ink cartridge suppliers can call upon in their defence. the far reaching implications of this could be that the printer manufacturers change their entire business model in order to ensure profits. side effects could include rises in the cost of printers to bolster profits and potentially a drop in the price of official ink cartridges to try and make people stay true to the brand. an extreme case could see the likes of canon starting its own recycling initiative where it refill its own cartridges and resells them under a different brand.
the consumer has been ripped off for years by the printer manufacturers, and hopefully this is going to come to an end. we all know the cartridges that come with a new printer aren't full, and we all know the prices we have to pay for a new cartridge are mainly profit margin. i believe people do want to buy a canon cartridge for a canon printer, but if other brands start appearing that offer the same product but at half the price, most will switch.

most inkjet manufacturers only have a few heads that they put in all of their printers.
it's the crap they wrap around it they bang you for.
i persoally don't like the ink refills. about 1/2 the time they don't work or leak. i don't use that much paper these days so cost really isn't a big deal. i remember when a good printer cost $1000's. so they all look pretty cheap to me.

talk to anybody in the printer business, the real money is in supplies, and they like it that way. it is in no way an advantage to the consumer unless the consumer never uses the printer. some of those cartriges cost more than the printer, whic comes with a cartyrige in it! albeit they don 't come with a full one though.
it is a scam, nothing else. same with the bigger business models. there are so many companies out there scamming on supplies and support contracts it's nuts. – by cd
|much to-do about nothing (6:20pm est mon dec 13 2004)
canon, hp, and company can easily redesign their printers & cartriges such that they can not be refilled or reused. it's a simple mechanical problem, for that matter they could smart chip them, lord knows they make enough to cover such an expense.
if heads & mechanics get much cheaper they'll just make them so when the ink runs out you throw the whole printer away and get a new one for $30. no removable cartrige period, game over…
besides, they largly own the guys who make the ink in the 1st place. either in fact or through contractual relations. the special photo quality heads (which are more and more of them) need special inks with special specs. the print head manufacturer controls all of that.
i put cheap ink in my color inkjet and i'll never do it again. it was a total loss, not one decent picture, not one. – by blah-blah-blah
|cheap ink (8:18pm est mon dec 13 2004)
i like canon's low end inkjets. $150 for the printer and $20 for each of 4 ink tanks. i've tried generic ink, for a savings of about $5 per cartridge its not worth the fuzzy text & pictures.
oh, and those are canadian prices too.
|third party ink risks (5:31am est tue dec 14 2004)
i once put third party ink in an epson printer. bad move. it killed it. it never printed a drop of ink again. that was an expensive mistake!
the moral of the story is, only buy a printer with the heads built into the cartridges. that way 3rd party cartridges are at least risk free :) – by mr d
|we don't need cartridges period! (6:40am est tue dec 14 2004)
i've had mostly bad experiences with inkjet printers. oddly, i used to own an olivetti "inkjet" that was actually a glass ampule with a springloaded carbon rod inside it. it worked by blasting the carbon onto the paper one row at a time with high voltage, and had the advantage of continuous vertical printing over dot-matrix. it was monochrome, smudged easily, and gave off an ozone smell, but that was in the 80's when i had an atari 800 hooked up to it, and i like the smell of ozone. heh heh.
anyway, i got an epson stylus 600 with my first pc. it was beautiful but had a problem with drawing the paper at an angle when there was only a couple sheets left. i refilled the cartridges with no problems for some time, then i discovered the hard way that i can't let it sit unused for a month. not even strong ammonia could unclog the print heads, and it wasn't worth the effort to ship it back to epson for new heads.
i next had an hp 5550. gorgeous printer that never failed me, but damn it was expensive to refill. i never wanted to refill their carts and was happy with it, though. unfortunately, it was lost due to burglars.
i now want to grab the canon i9900. the idea of 4800dpi horizontal resolution is mind-boggling, and i also like the idea of printing up to 13×19 size edge-to-edge. eight ink colors in separate carts, and the fact that they sit in a removeable print head assembly impressed me. also, their carts are transparent and the printer detects the ink levels optically instead of estimating like everyone else. if anyone comes close to pushing the current cartridge business model into the realm of affordability, it's canon. if one color runs out, there's only one cart to replace. they also look easy to refill, but i'll be using more expensive archival ink if i use it for serious photography/artwork. they claim twenty-five years before significant fading if one uses their inks and their papers, but their limitation is the use of dye-based ink instead of the harder to use pigment inks. still, i've heard nothing but good about their products. (6,144 nozzles in the i9900's print head!)
now for my point: i don't think ink cartridges are necessary. there are people selling continuous-feed ink conversions for certain models of printers that use hoses leading to external bottles of ink. i came up with a good (radical) printer design that uses no cartridges and can print both sides of the paper with no loss in speed. if only i knew someone who could machine and build such a beast. i'm quite sure the established printer businesses would have no interest in such a thing. ::sigh:: without bulky cartridges, it would work so much faster. the speed might have to be limited so the pages would have enough time to dry before coming in contact with other pages. heh heh.
i just don't see the need for cartridges. surely the ribbon that goes between the printer and the print head assembly can have ink channels as well as wires in it. the back of the printer could have ink tanks, or for those more serious, hoses leading to gallon-sized bottles on the floor. even without my radical printer design, a regular back-and-forth head-type printer would be able to run much faster because it would be lighter, and would be so much cheaper in the long run.
i'd gladly part with five hundred bucks for something like that. – by erich the madbassist
|empty cartridges (11:53am est tue dec 14 2004)
look at the other side of things. since companies refill cartridges, there's a market for the spent cartridges. i've been selling mine to these refillers for a while. check out to see how much they're worth. – by paul stimmy
|epson is the best (8:57pm est tue dec 14 2004)
many scrapbookers have avoided switching to digital cameras because using the computer to edit and print your photos seemed too complicated. others were waiting until the longevity of digital prints caught up with those from more traditional photo processing methods. the picturemate photo printer from epson has won me over on both counts, and now all of my photos are digital photos.
ease of use
the picturemate was designed with ease of use in mind. this is truly a printer perfect for the non-techie, scrapbooking, soccer mom, amateur photographer. my favorite part about using this printer is that you do not even need to hook it up to your computer. you can simply insert your media card from your camera and start printing. of course, using the software that comes with the printer to print from your computer gives you many more photo editing options.
special features
using the menu on the printer, you are able to print borderless color photos, photos with a white border, black and white and sepia tone photos, wallet size photos(2 per sheet), and you can also crop your prints before printing. the screen on the printer is not in color and does not show thumbnails of the photos on the card. therefore, the easiest way to use the printer to create special effect photos is by first printing index print sheets.
cost per print
picturemate print packs include one ink cartridge and 100 sheets of 4×6 photo paper. they retail for $29.00, thus making the cost per print from this handy little printer $0.29. this is about the same as getting them printed at your local photo shop, without the hassle of leaving home (or uploading your prints) and without the wait.
print longevity, look, and feel
photo longevity is one of the most important factors to consider for scrapbookers when looking at printing your own photos. epson ink technology means that photos printed on the picturemate will last up to 200 years in photo album storage. this is up to 4 times longer than color prints you normally get developed at your local photo lab.
my favorite part about the prints i have made using the picturemate is that the quality of the photos is outstanding. they are water resistant (yes, i actually held one in running water under my faucet, and it looks perfect). they feel like "photos" in your hand – meaning the weight of the paper, and the smoothness of the printed photo is exact what you expect in a photo lab photo. the skin tone on the photos i have printed has been gorgeous. it truly lives up to the "at home photo lab" part of its marketing.
overall remarks
while i would not give up my epson large format 1270 printer, the picturemate makes an excellent addition to the printers in our family. i love being able to print right from the camera card, and the look and feel of the prints is excellent. since you can only print 4″x6″ and wallet size photos, many scrapbookers will want to have an additional printer available for larger prints.
black and white and also sepia tone pictures are printed simply by selecting these options on the printer control screen.
wallet size photos can be printed two per 4″x6″ sheet. these smaller photos are perfect for incorporating many photos on one scrapbook page or for sharing with friends and family.
the colors and sharpness of the prints that i printed on the picturemate rival any digital prints that i have had developed anywhere. – by susan
|maybe (10:36pm est tue dec 14 2004)
anyone selling recycled ink cartridges should pay a roylaty to the original manufacturer.
somewhat reasonable if printer companies start losing massive profits. after all, they are the ones who hold patents on them and actually manufactured the cartridges in the first place. some nerd fills them with ink and gets total profits? – by fajit
|ink cartridges (5:35am est thu dec 23 2004)
all right now, this is going to be the final post in this column. thank you.
new ink cartridges are unbelievably expensive. $25, $35 dollars for what?
technology, production, low cost printers, blah blah blah. i don't care! it is all crap reasoning.
the only concern to a consumer who can think, is what the product can do for them.
spending $35 bucks to be able to print 80 to 200 pages in black is crap.
don't you dare tell me to compare the per page price to that overpriced printer shop down at your corner. i don't care!
buy ink and refill it yourself.
learn how to do it well. and don't get ripped off by those ink bastards. they are thieves. make no doubt about it.
$35 bucks for 25 mililiters of ink is like spending $41.19 for a small cup of coffee. it is robbery.
don't you defend them saying that it is not 35 bucks just for 25 ml of ink, but rather a cartridge and back end printer cost. wake up you. it is robbery. and since you are the customer, you should realize that all you are buying is ink. ink!

Red & Black
As with all of these palettes, you can totally use this one year-round for any theme. Bold, but traditional, this combo stands out vividly in photos and highlights graphic elements and patterns quite well. Above, this black and red wedding cake features pretty gum paste roses, and a subtle cobweb pattern as a nod to the holiday.
While you can certainly use any red flower for your arrangements and centerpieces, roses, carnations, and ranunculus often stand out the best. Layer them together (below, left) or keep to one type of bloom (below right)--either way the red will really pop against your black elements.
Because red and black are both so powerful, you may want to add some white in here and there. For a moodier effect, keep plenty of black. Otherwise, use white to create balance. These whimsical bridesmaid dresses below combine all three colors for fantastical style.
Deep Jewel Tones
If you want to create a dark woodland wedding for your spooky event, there's no better way than a palette of deep, rich jewel tones. From luxurious eggplants to intense berries, this color palette feels like a fairy tale when the villain enters the scene.
These opulent colors are also very sophisticated, so it can blend in with a wide variety of venues, from rustic to glamorous. Use the darkest colors in your palette for the backdrop (such as the menu shown above, right) and the lighter colors for tiny pops of accent (such as the red flowers, above, left).
Of course, with this palette you'll have such pretty food and drink tables. Make sure to use plenty of rich fruit like pomegranates and poached pears (below) if you want natural elements in these hues.
Black & Charcoal
For a truly gorgeous and ever-so-slightly Gothic mood, you've gotta go black and charcoal. This monochromatic look blends in so well with an evening wedding. Use a bit of matte glitter in smaller details to create texture (such as the envelope lining, below, left) so that these two shades don't run together.
Brave souls will definitely want to try a shiny black caramel apple wrapped in gray ribbon! Just make sure to watch your dress with the abundance of black food coloring!
Or don't worry about staining at all when you wear a black wedding or reception gown instead. Coordinate with your dark surroundings by forgoing the white gown in favor of something more suitable to your Halloween theme.

The American Bus Association (ABA) announced recently that the War of 1812 Encampment – the Capture of Ft. Niagara, held this year on September 1 – 2, has been designated as one of the Top 100 Events in North America for 2013 by an experienced tourism industry selection committee. Inclusion in the Top 100 list, published as a supplement to the September/October issue of Destinations magazine, indicates that the War of 1812 Encampment offers excellent entertainment value to both tour groups and individual travelers from around the world, according to ABA. The event was submitted in the Spring of 2012 by Deborah Duerr, Director of Tourism Sales, Niagara Tourism & Convention Corporation.
American Bus Association Names 'War of 1812 Encampment' a Top 100 Event for 2013
With the release of the American Bus Association's 2013 Top 100 Events in North America, ABA celebrates 31 years of the program. What began as a way for motorcoach operators to incorporate new product into their itineraries has grown to one of the most sought-after lists by travel professionals, motorcoach operators and the general public.
"The attractiveness of the War of 1812 Encampment as a don't-miss entertainment value is only part of why its selection this year is such a distinction for Niagara USA," said Peter J. Pantuso, CTIS, ABA's president and CEO. "The real news here is that the War of 1812 Encampment has been recognized as a potential magnet for tourism dollars, at a time when reenergizing domestic tourism is so important to our spirit and our economy. The honor gives Niagara USA an important boost in visibility among professional tour planners." more…

Not your mother's (or father's) nursing practiceOctober 22, 2014
A while back I was asked to speak to a group of graduating nurses — new to practice and excited to start their careers. As I spoke, I gave insights from Florence Nightingale and the changing face of healthcare. I was feeling confident that I had inspired them to spread their wings, expand their practice; the world was their oyster, as the saying goes.

Place potatoes in a pot and covered with water. Cover pot with lid and bring water to a boil. Salt boiling water and potatoes. Leave lid off pot and simmer at rolling boil until tender, 8 to 10 minutes.
While potatoes cook, combine meat, Worcestershire, onion and steak seasoning or salt and pepper. Form 2 large, oval patties, 1-inch thick.
Preheat large nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add a tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil and the meat patties to a hot pan. Cook meat 6 minutes on each side until meat is evenly caramelized on the outside and juices run clear. Remove meat and cover with loose tin foil to keep warm. Add 1 more turn of the pan extra-virgin olive oil and butter to the pan, then the mushrooms. Season mushrooms with salt and pepper and saute mushrooms until tender, 3 to 5 minutes.
While mushrooms cook, squeeze defrosted spinach dry by wringing it out in a kitchen towel. To a small skillet, add butter and cream and heat to a bubble over moderate heat. add spinach and salt and pepper. Cook until spinach thickens with cream, 3 to 5 minutes.
To mushrooms, add a sprinkle of flour to the pan and cook 2 minutes more. Whisk in stock and thicken 1 minute.

Filmmaker Kevin Willmott never runs from race. He swipes at intolerance, injustice and bigotry with satire and sci-fi alike.
His sixth full-length film, a sports biopic premiering Friday in Lawrence, recounts how a basketball giant named Wilt Chamberlain helped blur the lines separating blacks and whites in 1950s Kansas.
So to be accused of making a racist movie by a bunch of East Coast liberals?
That was a new one on him.
But there he was the other day, talking to a New York Times reporter because one of his movies had raised a ruckus at one of the most prestigious private schools in New York City.
Dalton School, which educated the likes of Claire Danes and Anderson Cooper, had shown "C.S.A.: The Confederate States of America" to its sophomores during a history-project event.
Willmott's 2004 mockumentary shows what life might look like if the South had won the Civil War and slavery had never ended, an America where TV commercials advertise products like "Darkie" toothpaste and home shopping networks sell slaves. (The end credits note that that toothpaste really existed at one time.)
In the cushy setting of the elite Dalton, the message heard was not the satirical message Willmott intended.
Some students and parents were offended by the racial stereotypes — used for effect, Willmott says — and slammed it for being insensitive to African-Americans. School leaders apologized for even showing the film.
Wow, did they miss the point. And the chance to have a serious discussion about race in a school setting, Willmott told the Times.
"What's amazing about the thing that happened in New York," he says, "is I think it's the case of people trying to be so right that they end up being so wrong."
Maybe Dalton would be more interested in "Jayhawkers"?Fulfilling a tall order
The movie has been more than 10 years in the making for the University of Kansas film and media studies professor and his production team. It's the story of Wilt Chamberlain's playing days at KU in the mid- to late-1950s and his relationship with two other big men on campus: legendary basketball coach Phog Allen and KU chancellor Franklin Murphy.
Years ago, filmmaker Spike Lee told Willmott that this movie could not be made because surely no actor alive could portray the almighty Chamberlain.
Enter Bill Self.
KU's basketball coach offered someone from his own bench, forward Justin Wesley, now a senior, for the Chamberlain role. (Guess who's now toying with the idea of becoming an actor after graduation?)
So yes, there's basketball in the movie. But there's also a story not often told of how the Kansas City-born Murphy, who went on to be chancellor at University of California, Los Angeles, used Chamberlain's celebrity to start integrating the campus and the town.
"It's really a rich story about 1950s America and how maybe the greatest American athlete of all time came here and really helped start the change from segregation to a modern society," producer/writer Scott Richardson says.
The movie was shot in art house black and white, which might, for some, call to mind the look of Martin Scorsese's boxing film, "Raging Bull." The basketball scenes were inspired by the work of photographer Rich Clarkson, who worked many decades for Sports Illustrated: dark backgrounds, players brightly lit in contrast.
Cinematographers Matt Jacobson and Jeremy Osbern used their talents to make West Middle School in Lawrence look like Allen Fieldhouse of the 1950s.
"(Shooting in black and white) helps with the low budget, but it's also an artistic, beautiful way to shoot basketball," Willmott says. "Basketball is on TV all the time. So what new, cinematic thing can you bring to it?"
Money was hard to come by for the film, a hurdle for every independent filmmaker. Producers raised $54,000 on the crowd-funding website Kickstarter. They made the movie for less than $200,000, which Wilmott jokes is easily less than the catering bill for a major motion picture.
"The people who invest in our films over the last 10 years aren't necessarily film investors," Richardson says. "Most of the people who invested in 'Jayhawkers' were people who were really interested in seeing this story told."
Early on, Barbara O. Chamberlain-Lewis of Las Vegas had protested the movie, claiming that an agreement with Willmott to tell her brother's story had expired. Willmott contended that he didn't need the family's permission anymore when the movie became broader in scope than a Chamberlain biopic.
Willmott says he hopes the family gets to see the finished movie.
"I think they're going to be happy with the portrayal of him," he says.National buzz
In Lawrence, the movie obviously has a built-in fan base among KU basketball fans and alumni. (KU alums, actors Kip Niven and Jay Karnes, play Allen and Murphy, respectively.)
A packed Allen Fieldhouse roared when the movie's trailer was shown there last fall. Willmott's task now is to use that local fervor to ignite national buzz.
National sports media have started taking notice.FoxSportsKansasCity.com posted the movie trailer in mid-January, and YardBarker
, a sports blog run by Fox Sports, has run the trailer, too.
"Obviously you always want your film to be a national film. But it's kind of the new model now for independent films to capitalize on the regional support that you have," Willmott says.
"You really try to do screenings in your area before you get your distributor, before you have a middle man involved. It's a way to pay back our investors and a way to keep moving forward.
"We've always done it to some degree with our other films, but this is the one we've done it with the most."
Willmott currently is juggling the promotion of two movies: "Jayhawkers" and his satirical sci-fi flick, "Destination: Planet Negro!"
Then along came that "C.S.A." flap.
If those students and those parents thoughtthat
movie was offensive, he says, wait until they see his equally snarky "Destination: Planet Negro!"
The film shows American black leaders in 1939 meeting to discuss the state of their race. They develop a secret plot to solve the "Negro problem" by shooting three black astronauts into space on a scouting mission to Mars.
All manner of hilarity ensues.

Capital Breakfast With Roman Kemp 6am - 10am
Ke$ha has admitted that she turned a tooth given to her by a fan into an earring.
She told Rolling Stone :'Somebody sent me their tooth, which I now wear as an earring. It's a molar, I think. I love it when people send me body parts.'
The singer also revealed that due to her success, she has been able to build her dream home in Nashville.
'The house is great,' she says 'There are boxes in my front yard, and it looks like a pirate ship inside, and the pool has laser beams in it. It's right on the edge of a park, so in the middle of the night I can run around in the wilderness naked.'

Sponsored post by Stuart McLaren, STMicroelectronics
The oft mentioned and abundantly ballyhooed Internet of Things (IoT to you TLA* aficionados) is not much more than what we used to call wired and wireless connected embedded devices, right?
IoT is often referred to as "The Next Big Thing." It allows an infinitude of applications and products to operate around and take advantage of the established Internet infrastructure. Everyone wants a piece of it – software creators, infrastructure operators, hardware manufacturers.
As a result, two of the biggest challenges to the success of the IoT are security and interoperability: Security, so that everyone can be confident that their medical, financial, and other sensitive information is partitionable and only available to those they approve to see only the bits of information they are approved to see; and Interoperability, so that devices that people want to have playing nicely together can do so.
Central to meeting these two challenges are the devices involved: sensors, micros, memories, and ultra-low-power connectivity; which are required for all of the 'Things' in the IoT to recognize each other.
And the thigh bone's connected to the hip bone, so just like the network of receptors, muscles, and nerves in the body sending and receiving information from the brain, accelerometers, gyroscopes, digital compasses, inertial modules, pressure sensors, humidity sensors, microphones, and other sensors must work with microcontrollers and other sensors in the Internet of Things along both wired or wireless communication routes.
ST is one of the few companies in the world capable of, and proven to, supply all of the products and technologies to cover all IoT scenarios.
- Sensors that can monitor motion, the environment, and sound;
- Low-power 32-bit microcontrollers to analyze data and make decisions;
- A range of application processors with a strong software ecosystem for gateways;
- Wired and wireless communications technologies for connectivity;
- Ultra-efficient power conversion, monitoring, and control technologies; and
- System solutions and the ability to deliver complex systems-on-chips (SoCs).
But don't take my, admittedly biased, word for it. If you're attending EE Live!, come talk to our engineers about sensors, micros, communications, and the IoT, and attend our free technical seminars at the ST-Mouser Theater at the STMicroelectronics' booth (#1318). Or, if you are the stay-at-the-desk type, visit our website: www.st.com. Either way, we'll help you get on the IoT bandwagon.

To see the Rouths & Mrs. Baldy Smith.
Major General William F. "Baldy" Smith was a civil war commander with a reputation for being something of a martinet.
|Max Heard
Robert Milligan McLane (1815-1898) was in the House of Representatives, was Governor of Maryland from 1883-1887, and later minister to France.
Mentioned frequently in the letters of Mrs. Henry Adams, James Lowndes was a South Carolinian and Confederate Army Colonel who settled in Washington following the war to practice law. He was believed to be the model for the character "Carrington" in Henry Adams' book Democracy [1].
Mrs. John Davis was one of the three daughters (Sallie) of Frederick Theodore Frelinghuysen (1817-1885), a senator from New Jersey (1866-1869) and Secretary of State as of 12 December 1881, succeeding James G. Blaine, of whom much will be said later. John Davis served as assistant Secretary of State. Mrs. Adams is Mrs. Henry Adams (1843-1885), probably the primary chronicler of social and political Washington of the day and the wife of the historian Henry Adams, the grandson of one President and the great-grandson of another. Their house at 1607 H Street was one of the social hubs of political and diplomatic Washington. Born Marion Hooper, she was known as "Clover"[11]. Her brilliant wit became increasingly clouded by depression until her suicide in 1885 following the death of her father. Her husband's memorial to her, sculpted by St. Gaudens, is in Rock Creek Cemetery near Washington.
Mrs. J. D. Cameron was the former Elizabeth Sherman, a niece of General W. T. Sherman and Senator J. Sherman. She married in 1878 James Donald Cameron , the Senator from Pennsylvania during 1877-1897, Secretary of War 1876-1877 under Grant, and a widower of twice her age. He was also Chairman of the Republican National Committee during Hayes' campaign and term. His father, Simon Cameron, was Lincoln's Secretary of the Treasury before being removed for flagrant corruption. He was referred to as "Mr. Corruption" of the Republican Party and is famous for the comment that "an honest politician is one when bought, stays bought." She was close to the Adams for many years and was romantically linked to Henry following the death of Clover. The story of this romance is told in Henry Adams in Love [23].
James G. Blaine was Secretary of State; he would be replaced by Frederick T. Frelinghuysen on 12 December. He had represented Maine in congress for 20 years and was a principal power in Republican party politics. He had run for the Republican presidential nomination in 1876 and 1880 and he would be the Republican presidential candidate in 1884 as the "plumed knight," but clouds of suspicion regarding his honesty would contribute to his loss to the Democrat reform candidate, Grover Cleveland. Theodore Roosevelt fought hard against Blaine's nomination at the 1884 convention, but he reluctantly supported Blaine after his nomination. Blaine refused the nomination in 1888 on the grounds that having lost once, he would not be the strongest candidate. (If only Richard Nixon had thought along similar lines!) Benjamin Harrison, the "little general," became the nominee and Blaine regained his position as Secretary of State. Soon thereafter he appointed Amy's father Minister and Chief Consul to Korea. The leading male character of Adams' Democracy, Senator Silas P. Ratcliffe, was generally believed to be patterned after James G. Blaine. Clover Adams detested Blaine.
Mrs James G. Blaine's letters provide, after those of Mrs Adams, the most informative source of Gilded Age Washington society. Born Harriet Stanwood in 1828, she married Blaine in 1850. She led an incredibly active and by in large happy life until 1893, when in short succession she lost her two elder sons, her daughter, and her husband. The remaining ten years of her life were unhappy to the extreme. A short biography of Mrs Blaine may be found in Bradford's Wives. [6]
Count Lippe is Count Lippe-Weissenfeld, a counselor of the Austria-Hungary Legation.
In her letter from Mrs. Henry Adams to her father dated 20 November, Mrs. Adams mentions that
Emily Beale was a constant companion of Elizabeth Cameron's. Kasson is John Adam Kasson (1822-1910) was returning to Congress as a Republican from Iowa after four years in Vienna as American Minister to Austria-Hungary. He was a candidate in December for Speaker of the House, but lost to Keifer of Ohio.
Captain Dewey is the future Admiral Dewey, the hero of the battle of Manila in the Spanish-American war.
In her letter of 11 December she further writes
The Washington political novel Democracy[1] with its characters based on on leading figures of the time (including James G. Blaine) was attributed to many authors. The book had in fact been written by Henry Adams.

Recovering from Psychological-Emotional Trauma?
The entire Lebanese nation is living under extreme circumstances which are much more damaging than a physical war: a continuous psychological-emotional war fueled by most Lebanese and external factors. Emotional and psychological trauma is the result of extraordinarily stressful events that shatter your sense of security, making you feel helpless and vulnerable in a dangerous world. Traumatic experiences often involve a threat to life or safety, but any situation that leaves you feeling overwhelmed and alone can be traumatic, even if it doesn't involve physical harm. It's not the objective facts that determine whether an event is traumatic, but your subjective emotional experience of the event. The more frightened and helpless you feel, the more likely you are to be traumatized. Emotional and psychological trauma can be caused by single-blow, one-time events, such as a horrible accident, a natural disaster, or a violent attack. Trauma can also stem from ongoing, relentless stress. In Lebanon, both cases are to be found. Sick individuals, sick communities, sick nation. Just like Robert Fisk's book title "Pity the Nation", or Adnan Houballah diagnosis "Lebanese are caught with the virus of violence, thus continuously traumatized and unable to heal their wounds".
Following a traumatic event, or repeated trauma, people react in different ways, experiencing a wide range of physical and emotional reactions. There is no "right" or "wrong" way to think, feel, or respond to trauma. Emotional and psychological symptoms of trauma include: Shock, denial, or disbelief; Anger, irritability, mood swings; Guilt, shame, self-blame; Feeling sad or hopeless; Confusion, difficulty concentrating; Anxiety and fear; Withdrawing from others; Feeling disconnected or numb. Physical symptoms of trauma include: Insomnia or nightmares; Being startled easily; Racing heartbeat; Aches and pains; Fatigue; Difficulty concentrating; Edginess and agitation; Muscle tension…
These symptoms and feelings typically last from a few days to a few months, gradually fading as you process the trauma. Still, when there is no recovery process, and the trauma is transmitted from generation to generation, physical violence is most likely to occur. Even when one feels better, he-she may be troubled from time to time by painful memories or emotions—especially in response to triggers such as an event or an image, sound, or situation that reminds him-her of the traumatic experience.
My students always ask me if there is still hope to recover from this dramatic situation and rebound from tragic and shocking experiences, or from experiences that, on the surface, appear to be less upsetting. Even if I am not optimistic anymore - I used to be before I came back to Lebanon from Canada -, there is a slight chance of change. The healing process should occur on both individual and national levels. Lebanese must face and resolve the unbearable feelings and memories they have long avoided. Otherwise they will return again and again, unbidden and uncontrollable. They have to build or rebuild the ability to trust each other, or, it will be too late.

I like it alot..What you are talking about is an issue we all Lebanese are living..I agree with you, we all should face the unbearable memories especially those of the civil war.In my opinion the first step can be through a common history book so that we don't repeat the mistakes of our parents.

Thanks Nour! Of course we need a common history book! Without memory, no history, and without history, no identity, so, no nation!
