The Maid Freed from the Gallows
"The Maid Freed from the Gallows" is one of many titles of a centuries-old folk song about a condemned maiden pleading for someone to buy her freedom from the executioner. In the collection of ballads compiled by Francis James Child in the late 19th century, it is indexed as Child Ballad number 95; 11 variants, some fragmentary, are indexed as 95A to 95K.[1] In the Roud Folk Song Index it is number 144. The ballad exists in a number of folkloric variants, from many different countries, and has been remade in a variety of formats. For example, it was recorded in 1939 as "The Gallis Pole" by folk singer Huddie "Lead Belly" Ledbetter, and—the most famous version—in 1970 as "Gallows Pole", an arrangement of the Fred Gerlach version by English rock band Led Zeppelin, on the album Led Zeppelin III.

There are many versions, all of which recount a similar story. A maiden (a young unmarried woman) or man is about to be hanged (in many variants, for unknown reasons) pleads with the hangman, or judge, to wait for the arrival of someone who may bribe him. Typically, the first person (or people) to arrive, who may include the condemned person's parent or sibling, has brought nothing and often has come to see them hanged. The last person to arrive, often their true love, has brought the gold, silver, or some other valuable to save them.[1] Although the traditional versions do not resolve the fate of the condemned one way or the other,[citation needed] it may be presumed that the bribe would succeed. Depending on the version, the condemned may curse all those who failed them.
The typical refrain is:
Hangman, hangman, hangman / slack your rope awhile.
I think I see my father / ridin' many a mile.
"Father, did you bring any silver? / father, did you bring any gold,
Or did you come to see me / hangin' from the gallows pole?"
"No, I didn't bring any silver, / no I didn't bring any gold.
I just come to see you / hangin' from the gallows pole."
It has been suggested that the reference to "gold" may not mean actual gold for a bribe, but may instead stand for the symbolic restoration of condemned person's honor, perhaps by proving their innocence, honesty, or fidelity, or the maiden's virginity.[2][3] Such an interpretation would explain why a number of the song's variations have the condemned person asking whether the visitors have brought gold or paid the fee. In at least one version the reply is: "I haven't brought you gold / But I have paid your fee."[4]
The song is also known as "The Prickly Bush", a title derived from the oft-used refrain lamenting the maiden's situation by likening it to being caught in a briery bush, which prickles her heart. In versions carrying this theme, the typical refrain may add:
O the prickly bush, the prickly bush,
It pricked my heart full sore;
If ever I get out of the prickly bush,
I'll never get in any more.
In some versions, the protagonist is male. This appears to be more prevalent in the United States, where the hanging of women was uncommon.[3]
The crime for which the protagonist faces hanging is occasionally mentioned. The woman may be being held for ransom by pirates, or she has stolen something from her employer. Other instances tell of her having lost a treasured golden ball[5][6] or indicate that she is being hanged for fornication.[citation needed]
The most extensive version is not a song at all, but a fairy story titled "The Golden Ball", collected by Joseph Jacobs in More English Fairy Tales. The story focuses on the exploits of the fiancé who must recover a golden ball in order to save his love from the noose. The incident resembles The Story of the Youth Who Went Forth to Learn What Fear Was.[7] Other fairy tales in the English language, telling the story more fully, always retell some variant on the heroine's being hanged for losing an object of gold.[8]
In the Bob Dylan song "Seven Curses", it is not the maiden who is to be hanged but her father, for stealing a stallion. The woman offers to buy her father's freedom from the judge, who responds: "Gold will never free your father/ the price my dear is you, instead". The maiden pays the judge's terrible price but wakes the next morning to find that her father has been hanged, anyway.[citation needed]
The song may have originated in continental Europe. Some 50 versions have been reported in Finland,[9] where it is well known as "Lunastettava neito". It is titled "Den Bortsålda" in Sweden ( "Die Losgekaufte" in German). A Lithuanian version has the maid asking relatives to ransom her with their best animals or belongings (crown, house, crown, ring, sword, etc.). The maiden curses her relatives who refuse to give up their property and blesses her fiancé, who does ransom her.[10]
In a Hungarian version called "Feher Anna", collected by Béla Bartók in his study The Hungarian Folk Song, Anna's brother László is imprisoned for stealing horses. Anna sleeps with Judge Horváth to free him but is unsuccessful in sparing his life. She then regales the judge with 13 curses.
"Cecilia" is one of the best known and more diffused songs in the Italian popular music. With no reference to any curse, it tells a story not very different from those of "Feher Anna" and "Seven Curses". Cecilia's husband has been condemned to be hanged, and she asks the captain how it is possible to spare his life. The captain promise to save her husband if Cecilia sleeps with him, but in the morning Cecilia sees from the window her man has been hanged.[11]
The song is also found in Northern Sami, titled Nieida Kajon sis, which tells a story that strongly resembles the Lithuanian version. The maid asks her relatives (father, mother, brother, sister, and uncle) to ransom her with their best belongings or animals (horse, cow, sword, crown, and ship).[12]
Francis James Child found the English version "defective and distorted", in that, in most cases, the narrative rationale had been lost and only the ransoming sequence remained. Numerous European variants explain the reason for the ransom: the heroine has been captured by pirates.[13] Of the texts he prints, one (95F) had "degenerated" into a children's game, while others had survived as part of a Northern English cante-fable, The Golden Ball (or Key).[13] Child describes additional examples from the Faroe Islands, Iceland, Russia, and Slovenia, several of which feature a man being ransomed by a woman.[13]
The theme of delaying one's execution while awaiting rescue by relatives appears with a similar structure in the 1697 classic fairy tale "Bluebeard" by Charles Perrault[14] (translated into English in 1729).
"Gallows Pole" and the era of recorded music
Lead Belly version
Folksinger Huddie "Lead Belly" Ledbetter, who also popularized such songs as "Cotton Fields" and "Midnight Special", first recorded "The Gallis Pole" in the 1930s. His haunting, shrill tenor delivers the lyrical counterpoint, and his story is punctuated with spoken-word, as he "interrupts his song to discourse on its theme".[15]
Judy Collins and Bob Dylan versions
Judy Collins performed the song "Anathea" throughout 1963 (including a rendition at the 1963 Newport Folk Festival), credited to Neil Roth and Lydia Wood. It is thematically similar to the Hungarian "Feher Anna" cited above, even to the detail of the name of the brother (Lazlo). It appeared on her third album, Judy Collins 3, released in early 1964. Dayle Stanley's album A Child Of Hollow Times, also released in 1964, included an uncredited version of this song ("of Greek origin"), under the name "Ana Thea". Bob Dylan recorded a thematically similar "Seven Curses" in 1963, during the sessions for his Freewheelin' album. The song tells a similar story, but from the point of view of the condemned's daughter. Dylan's song has been recorded by many artists. The definitive folk version of the song is probably that by Nic Jones recorded as "Prickly Bush", which he performed live and is featured on the Unearthed album. The song has also been played by Spiers & Boden, and recorded by Odetta.
Derry Gaol/The Streets of Derry
An Irish version of the song, entitled "Derry Gaol" or "The Streets of Derry" (Roud number 896), has the young man marching through the streets of Derry "more like a commanding officer / Than a man to die upon the gallows tree". As he mounts the gallows, his true love comes riding, bearing a pardon from the Queen (or the King). It was first recorded by County Armagh singer Sarah Makem on The Folk Songs of Britain, Vol. 7: Fair Game and Foul (1961), and subsequently by Shirley Collins,Cara Dillon, Andy Irvine & Paul Brady, June Tabor, Peter Bellamy and Spiers & Boden.[16]

|Jimmy Page
English band Led Zeppelin recorded the song for their album Led Zeppelin III in 1970. The album is a shift in style for the band towards acoustic material, influenced by a holiday Jimmy Page and Robert Plant took to the Bron-Yr-Aur cottage in the Welsh countryside.[17]
Page adapted the song from a version by American Fred Gerlach,[17][18] included on his 1962 album Twelve-String Guitar for Folkways Records.[19] On Led Zeppelin III the track was credited "Traditional: Arranged by Page and Plant". Their version followed Gerlach's very closely for the first two verses (arrival of friends, arrival of the protagonist's brother), but the lyrics for the second half of the song, detailing the arrival of his sister and her failed attempt to save him, are written by Plant, albeit bearing some similarities to other versions.[citation needed]
"Gallows Pole" begins as a simple acoustic guitar rhythm; mandolin is added in, then electric bass guitar shortly afterwards, and then banjo and drums simultaneously join in. The instrumentation builds up to a crescendo, increasing in tempo as the song progresses. The acoustic guitar chord progression (in standard tuning) is simple with a riff based on variations of the open A chord and the chords D and G occurring in the verse. Page played banjo, six and 12 string acoustic guitar and electric guitar (a Gibson Les Paul), while John Paul Jones played mandolin and bass.[17][18]
Page has stated that, similar to the song "Battle of Evermore" that was included on their fourth album, the song emerged spontaneously when he started experimenting with Jones' banjo, an instrument he had never before played. "I just picked it up and started moving my fingers around until the chords sounded right, which is the same way I work on compositions when the guitar's in different tunings."[20] It is also one of Page's favourite songs on Led Zeppelin III.[18]
Led Zeppelin performed the song a few times live during Led Zeppelin concerts in 1971.[17] Plant would sometimes also include lyrics in live performances of the Led Zeppelin song "Trampled Under Foot" in 1975.
In the Led Zeppelin version of the song, despite the bribes which the hangman accepts, he still carries out the execution.
Oh yes, you got a fine sister, she warmed my blood from cold,
She warmed my blood to boiling hot to keep you from the gallows pole,
Your brother brought me silver, and your sister warmed my soul,
But now I laugh and pull so hard to see you swinging on the gallows pole.
As in the Dylan "Seven Curses" and many other renditions, the Led Zeppelin version is based on a variant in which the convict is male. This is evident when the convict's brother addresses the convict as "brother" rather than "sister" in the line, "Brother, I brought you some silver, yeah."
In a retrospective review of Led Zeppelin III (Deluxe Edition), Kristofer Lenz of Consequence of Sound gave "Gallows Pole" a positive review, writing the track is "an excellent representation of Page's acoustic prowess, as his simple guitar line is soon joined by 12-string and banjo."[21] Lenz further wrote that Jones joins the fun as well, "as he adds some mandolin flourish to the mix."[21]
- Robert Plant – lead vocals
- Jimmy Page – six and twelve string acoustic guitars, electric guitar, banjo, backing vocals
- John Paul Jones – bass guitar, mandolin
- John Bonham – drums
Other versions
The song has been recorded by numerous other artists, including A.L. Lloyd & Ewan MacColl, Odetta, Jean Ritchie, Almeda Riddle, Frank Proffitt, Charlie Poole, Peggy Seeger, Jimmy Driftwood, The Kingston Trio, Peter, Paul and Mary, Steeleye Span, the Pine Valley Cosmonauts, Nic Jones, Uriah Heep, Tim Eriksen, Alvin Youngblood Hart, Great Big Sea, and Neil Young.
American folk singer John Jacob Niles recorded a version under the title "The Hangman" in 1940; the song was featured in the 2007 Harmony Korine film Mister Lonely.
A few lines of the song are sung by a woman strumming a guitar in a 1949 John Wayne movie, The Fighting Kentuckian. The song is chronologically appropriate to the film, which is set in 1818.
The Smothers Brothers performed a comedy version in which the narrator is hung before he can finish the first verse, which appeared on The Two Sides of the Smothers Brothers in 1962. Jasper Carrott repeated this version.
The Watersons recorded the song as "The Prickle Holly Bush" on their 1981 album Green Fields and frequently included it in their live performances.
German folk metal band In Extremo has a version of this song called "Der Galgen".
Led Zeppelin members Page and Plant later recorded a version of "Gallows Pole" for their 1994 release No Quarter: Jimmy Page and Robert Plant Unledded. They also released this track as a single. The song was performed regularly on the subsequent tour and featured Nigel Eaton on hurdy-gurdy.
In 2005, Robert Plant and his band Strange Sensation performed the song on the television show Soundstage. The performance was released the following year on the DVD Soundstage: Robert Plant and the Strange Sensation.
- Max Hunter, a traveling salesman, recorded and transcribed multiple variants of the song in Missouri, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Tennessee between 1956 and 1976.[22]
The Jeff Beck Group released "The Hangman's Knee" on Beck-Ola (1969), which draws from the traditional ballad, which begins: "Hangman hangman/Slack your noose/slack it oh slack it/slack it for a while".
Canadian singer/songwriter Neil Young has a version named "Gallows Pole" on his 2012 album Americana recorded with Crazy Horse.
American singer/songwriter Stephen Molyneux has a version called "Lover to Go My Bail" on his 2013 album Called to Leave in which the true love walks onward, the protagonist hung.[23]
American folk singer/songwriter, Willie Watson (formerly of Old Crow Medicine Show), recorded a version titled "Gallows Pole" on his 2017 release Folk Singer, Vol. 2.[24]
In literature
The Shirley Jackson novel Hangsaman (1951) takes its name from the folk song and draws on its theme of a female protagonist seeking rescue from peril—in this case of a spiritual, existential, or psychological nature.[citation needed]
In television
Season 1, episode 2 of the Netflix series Bloodline closes with Tex Ritter's rendition of "Gallows Pole", in which the male singer requests his father to bring gold and silver to save his son from being hanged, and the father replies that he's brought both, everything he has.[25]
In addition to "The Maid Freed from the Gallows", "The Prickly Bush", and the more recent "Gallows Pole", variations of the song have been recorded or reported under more than a score names.[26] These include:
- "The Gallis Pole"
- "The Gallows Tree" (Bert Jansch)

- "The Prickle-Holly Bush"[27]

The Easy, Super-'90s Way I Keep Grown-Out Bangs out of My Face
Bangs, fringe, breakage — whatever you call it, it'll fit in some butterfly clips.
I don't have super-long hair yet, but I am so happy that I can actually see some length at my décolletage when I look down. This is, as most of you know, a dream on its way to coming true for me. So when I saw Kérastase Cristalliste's line, which is made specifically for long hair, I wondered how it would work on my mid-length mop.
It was enlightening to poke around the web for scientific backup of the complexes and systems touted by the line. Aloe extract, "Liquid Light Complex," polymers, and sophisticated surfactants all promise to keep lengths tangle-free, clean, and shiny.
What: Kérastase Cristalliste Bain Cristal Thick (shampoo) and Lait Cristal (conditioner)
Intended Users: I chose the Thick formula of the shampoo, since I normally use Kérastase's volumizing or thickening options.
Intended Results: Using an "Anti-Oil Solubilization System," the shampoo is supposed to be high-foaming and gentle enough to use on long, older ends of hair. There is both a fine hair and thick hair formula in this line.
The milky conditioner formula has a host of lightweight but effective conditioners, providing slip without adding weight. There is one conditioner for both fine and thick textures.
Price: Bain Cristal Thick, $39.00; Lait Cristal, $42.00
Price Per Ounce: Bain Cristal Thick, $4.60; Lait Cristal, $6.30
Notable Inclusions and Exclusions: Bain Cristal Thick shampoo is silicone-free, paraben-free, and includes benzoic and salicylic acids. The conditioner has what I like to call "high-end" silicones, which are smaller and don't create build up as easily. It also contains aloe, cellulose (that's the polymer), and humectant derivatives of castor oil.
Overall Impression of Bain Cristal: This shampoo has the very distinct Kérastase soapy scent. It took a good deal of shampoo or a double wash to get the suds going with this one, which I'm not crazy about. I don't wash often, and double washing really seems to make my hair extra poufy--something I'm only sometimes going for.
Rating: 3.5 out of 5 Cat-With-Heart-Eyes Emoji
Overall Impression of Lait Cristal: This conditioner gave me soft hair with bounce and shine that I normally have to coax out with the blow dryer. I noticed that my fluctuating curl pattern was in full ruffled mode after using this the first time, and I had to just go with it. I air dried with some scrunching and was truly wowed by the surfbort-quality curls I was granted. Soft, shiny, bouncy curls with no grease or weight in sight. Meant for both fine or thick textures, this stuff is really lightweight but gets it done, proper. My ends don't feel coated or oily, but they are smooth to the touch, as spaces in the cuticle have absorbed the cellulose polymer until the next washing.
Rating: 4.5 out of 5 Cat-With-Heart-Eyes Emoji
Could I have chosen the wrong shampoo? Maybe. I will pass this on to a friend with thicker, longer hair and see what she thinks, but it isn't a dud by any means. The conditioner, however, is a sparkling diamond of dew and happiness. I get a feeling in my hair from the conditioner that I haven't felt from any other.
If you are a Kérastase fan, consider mixing and matching among the lines to get the best result. I like the hyaluronic acid and nutrient-packed Densifique Bain Densité paired with either Cristalliste Lait Cristal or Nutritive Lait Vital in that order. Both are wonderful conditioners.

Seven in 10 special care baby units have been forced to turn away babies at least once in the past six months because they are so stretched, a report claimed yesterday.
Research by Bliss, the premature baby charity, says doctors and nurses caring for sick and premature babies are struggling to cope in a service that is chronically under-funded and slow to respond to medical innovation.
Of the 153 neonatal units that responded to the charity's survey, nearly all (95 per cent) reported taking in more babies than they thought they should have in order to stay within reasonable staffing ratios.
But Bliss said that even though units were prepared to stretch themselves, 72 per cent had been forced to close to new admissions at least once in the past six months.
This had resulted in 40 per cent of parents travelling 30 miles or more a day to visit their baby, and one in 10 couples paying £20 a day to travel to the unit.
According to the report, neonatal services need 2,700 more nurses to reach the levels of staffing that the British Association of Perinatal Medicine considers safe.
But the cost of employing these extra nurses is £75 million a year and only two per cent of units reported reaching recommended staffing levels.
The Bliss report comes as doctors and nurses in Britain are consulted on whether to let the most premature babies - around 24 weeks or less and weighing less than 1lb - die, with treatment offered only in exceptional cases.
Bliss opposes the proposal for an "arbitrary limit", saying that every baby and pregnancy is individual.

Author Daniel Waistell, Standards Manager of London-based AccountAbility, has provided the most recent benchmarks of identifying stakeholders for businesses to pursue greater sustainability in their respective operations. These standards are often coupled with world protocol reporting guidelines, including Global Reporting Initiative headquartered in Amsterdam (a United Nations-based program voluntarily used by the majority of Fortune 1000 companies as well as myriad small and medium enterprises). Waistell demonstrates the need for more transparency in business operations and reporting activities to achieve greater accountability for a wider array of non-traditional stakeholders.

Have you ever wondered what the difference is between affect and effect? Lay and lie? i.e. and e.g.? Grammar Girl has the answers to these questions and many others that elude writers far and wide. Grammar Girl is an online resource that provides answers to commonly misunderstood grammar issues. The source of these answers is the site's host, former magazine and technical writer Mignon Fogarty. Fogarty has written several books on grammar and provides sneak peaks from her works on the Grammar Girl website.
Grammar Girl has a wide range of information, including but not limited to grammar, punctuation, word choice, and style. The fact that grammar girl discusses word choice is probably my favorite feature of the site! I've always been one to over-think word choice in my writing. One of my favorite examples is "101 Troublesome Words You'll Master In No Time", which is a number of sneak peaks to one of Fogarty's books. In these posts, word choice is discussed in great detail.
However, there is one thing that any Grammar Girl user should be aware of. Grammar Girl by itself won't be able to answer all of your grammar questions. The site is very robust, but in no way all encompassing. My suggestion is to use Grammar Girl in addition to other great writing resources (like the The Writing Center @ MSU!). Grammar Girl isn't a perfect one-stop destination for all of your grammar needs, but it is still an incredibly helpful resource.

"The push to promote cloud computing is part of the Obama administration's effort to modernize the government information technology systems" according to a September 15, 2009 New York Times article highlighting the unveiling of Apps.Gov, a virtual storefront run by the General Services Administration where federal agencies will be able to purchase cloud computing applications and services such as productivity software, storage, and web hosting.
Cloud Computing is being adopted by commercial, government and DoD organizations, driven by a need to reduce the operational cost of their information technology (IT) resources. From an engineering perspective, cloud computing is a distributed computing paradigm that focuses on providing a wide range of users with distributed access to virtualized hardware and/or software infrastructure over the Internet. From a business perspective, it is the availability of computing resources that are scalable and billed on a usage basis as opposed to acquired, which leads to potential cost savings in IT infrastructure.
The goal of this introductory level presentation is to define cloud computing, types of clouds and types of cloud computing environments. I will then focus on the drivers and barriers for cloud computing adoption. Finally, I will compare cloud computing with other existing computing paradigms.

OTC side effects prompt concerns
Consumers are paying attention to OTC side effects. A study by research firm Mintel indicates that 38% of consumers with gastrointestinal issues are worried about the impact some of these medications can have on health.
The firm noted that while antacid and laxative sales dropped 2.5% between 2011 and 2013, 29% of stomach-centric shoppers say they have adopted strategies such as eating more yogurt and fiber-rich foods to limit symptoms. Mintel health and wellness analyst Emily Krol said in a statement that brands can meet consumer concerns through strategies that position their products "as part of an overall healthy lifestyle."

Nini Rosso
Raffaele Celeste "Nini" Rosso (19 September 1926 – 5 October 1994)[1] was an Italian jazz trumpeter and composer.
Born in San Michele Mondovì,[1] Rosso's parents had attempted to send him to university, but at 19 he chose the trumpet over academia, and left home. After his employment in a nightclub was terminated by the police, he returned home, but soon after departed again to relaunch his career. He soon became one of the best-known jazz trumpeters in Italy, reaching the crest of his popularity in the 1960s. He became known in the UK in 1962 when his recording of "Concerto Disperato" was covered by Ken Thorne and his Orchestra and became a hit under the title "The Theme from 'The Legion's Last Patrol'". Rosso's original was quickly released on the Durium label and also made the charts, but was less successful than the cover. His 1965 worldwide hit "Il Silenzio" went to #1 in Italy, Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, and sold over five million copies by the end of 1967. In the USA it peaked in November 1965 on position 32 of the Billboard Charts. It was awarded a gold disc.[2] He also acted in the 1960s.
Rosso died of a tumor in 1994, at the age of 68.[1]

This year's Isthmus Annual Manual feels a bit like "The Orange Barrel" edition. All across the city, roads are being reconstructed and reconfigured, as traffic snarls or halts altogether. County roads meet city streets in new roundabouts that have left drivers spinning. Overlooking it all is a convocation of cranes, swiveling high over the city's changing skyline. It's a testament to Madison as a dynamic, growing city.
That energy is reflected in the answers to our annual reader's poll, too. Every year Isthmus asks the faithful to vote for their favorites around town -- from bars to burgers, from vegetarian-friendly eatery to city visionary. And it's no multiple-choice exam.
It's a ballot of write-ins and, sometimes, mini-essays for answers. If Madison were a car, it wouldn't just be a Volvo, according to one vote -- it'd be "a Volvo wagon with a bit of rust on it...and a kayak rack and a dog fence in back." Or "a Prius with snow tires, an awesome sound system and a bike rack," suggested one enthusiast. Or perhaps less of a car than a "high-speed train to the future," one in which underwear could once again be purchased at a store downtown: "I'm talkin' like six-packs of Hanes," the voter explained.
Our readers are nothing if not practical.
And while Madison's Favorites voters are in many cases eager to embrace the future, they have come up with an interesting candidate to be Madison's next mayor.
Thanks to all who participated. We really do appreciate it. To learn more about what your city-mates think about all manner of shopping, eating, exercising and entertaining, read on.

Come join us on an May 4, 2014 to celebrate International Permaculture Day at the Annual Community Seed & Plant Exchange. This year we have partnered with Kahumana Organic Farm, Kualoa Ranch, and Whole Foods Hawaii to produce simultaneous events on opposite sides of the islands to increase access to the events:
The day will include workshops, local food vendors, keiki activities, live music, and lots of fun – a great way to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon with family & friends!
Saving & sharing seeds is one of the most ancient practices we can participate in today – this simple act connects us to the ancestors of our past, the children of our future, and can ground us in the significance of this act in our present time.
Once upon a time, seeds belong to the commons, and plants expressing desirable traits (taste, hardiness, etc) were marked so that seeds could be saved from them and the traits preserved. Corn's wild ancestor is a grass called teosinte that you would hardly recognize, and the sweet apple varieties we know & love are descended from the downright sour fruits of wild apples. This gradual process of horticultural selection has given us many of the crops that are precious to us today.
Humans have lived in concert with the animal & plant world since our first ancestors had the idea to start cultivating edible plants in order to reduce the energy expended on a hunter/gatherer existence. This seemingly simple shift in lifestyle has had profound impacts on the way humans have impacted the landscape.
Over time, entire ecosystems were replaced with various forms of agriculture; today, vast tracts of tropical rainforest are cleared to make way for chemically subsidized monocultures of corn & soy plantations.
In a world where three multinational corporations own & control about half of all commercial seed sales, saving & sharing seeds could be the most profound action you can take towards shifting your role away from a consumer with rights, towards being a producer with responsibilities.
It is a peaceful act that could be the most revolutionary thing you do towards reclaiming your personal food sovereignty.

The Treasury Department and IRS today released for publication in the Federal Register proposed regulations (REG-123600-15) concerning corporations seeking to qualify as a regulated investment company (RIC).
The proposed regulations [PDF 224 KB] provide guidance relating to the income test and the asset diversification requirements that apply in determining whether RIC status has been met. Comments and requests for a public hearing must be received by a date that is 90 days after the proposed regulations appear in the Federal Register on September 28, 2016.
In conjunction with the proposed regulations, the IRS also issued an advance version of Rev. Proc. 2016-50 [PDF 11 KB] providing that the IRS ordinarily will not issue rulings or determination letters on any issue relating to the treatment of a corporation as a RIC that requires a determination of whether a financial instrument or position is a "security" for purposes of RIC status.
A corporation must satisfy two requirements to be treated as a RIC for a tax year:
The preamble to today's proposed regulations explains that previously, the IRS addressed whether certain instruments or positions were securities for purposes of section 851. Rev. Rul. 2006-1 concluded that a derivative contract with respect to a commodity index was not a security, and that income from such a derivative contract was not "qualifying other income." Subsequently, the IRS issued Rev. Rul. 2006-31 that clarified that Rev. Rul. 2006-1 was not intended to preclude a conclusion that income from certain instruments (e.g., certain structured notes) that create commodity exposure for the holder was qualifying income.
As further explained in the preamble to the proposed regulations, the IRS found it was then "devoting substantial resources" to address private letter ruling requests as to whether certain instruments that provided RICs with commodity exposure were securities. The IRS in 2011 announced it would no longer issue private letter rulings addressing specific proposed RIC commodity-related investments pending review of the issue by the IRS. Eventually, the IRS found that making a determination whether certain investments that provide RICs with commodity exposure were securities actually was within the scope of authority of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
The proposed regulations state that the IRS and Treasury have determined that the IRS will no longer issue letter rulings on questions relating to the treatment of a corporation as a RIC if it requires a determination of whether a financial instrument or position is a security.
Today's related revenue procedure—Rev. Proc. 2016-50—also provides that the IRS "ordinarily" will not issue rulings or determination letters on any issue relating to the treatment of a corporation as a RIC that requires a determination of whether a financial instrument or position is a security. For example, the IRS will not issue a ruling on whether income is of a type described under the "income test" if that ruling depends on whether an instrument is a security.
Today's releases request comments as to whether the earlier revenue rulings or other prior guidance involving a determination of whether a financial instrument or position held by a RIC is a security need to be withdrawn, as of the effective date of regulations that finalized today's proposed regulations.
The proposed regulations also address the treatment of earnings of a foreign corporation included in a RIC's gross income under section 951(a)(1)(A)(i) or section 1293(a) as a dividend that is qualifying income under section 851(b)(2), subject to a condition that there was a distribution from the foreign corporation's earnings and profits which was attributable to the amount included.
The preamble to the proposed regulations explains that the IRS previously issued letter rulings to permit an inclusion under section 951(a)(1)(A)(i) or section 1293(a) to qualify as "other income" derived with respect to a RIC's business of investing in currencies or securities, even absent a distribution. As further explained, this treatment "ignores the requirement in section 851(b) that amounts be distributed in order to treat these inclusions as dividends."
Accordingly, the proposed regulations specify that an inclusion under section 951(a)(1)(A)(i) or section 1293(a) is treated as a dividend under section 851(b) only to the extent that the distribution requirement is met. The proposed regulations also provide that an inclusion does not qualify as "other income" with respect to a RIC's business of investing in stock, securities, or currencies.
This rule will apply to tax years that begin on or after a date that is 90 days after the date of publication in the Federal Register of the regulations that adopt and finalize these proposed regulations.

HIRREM data from assessments or sessions can be displayed several ways. One method is the use of a spectrograph to display electrical frequencies (Hertz, Hz, vertical axis) and amplitudes (microvolts, µv, horizontal axis) recorded from the left and right sides of the brain (left and right half of display, respectively) at specific locations during an epoch of time (i.e. one minute with eyes closed during an assessment). Below are examples of spectrographs obtained during the HIRREM assessment on several research subjects enrolled in the Developmental Study (Figure 6A, 7A, 8A). These pre-HIRREM assessments from the temporal regions (T3/T4, eyes closed) demonstrate several different baseline patterns, including one subject with right side dominance in high frequencies (6A), one with left side dominance in high frequencies (7A), and one with no imbalance, but with excess amplitudes in the very low frequencies (8A).
As mentioned above in the About HIRREM section, right side dominance at high frequencies in the temporal region appears to correlate with a sympathetic dominant pattern, i.e. fight or flight response (Craig AD, Trends Cogn Sci, 2005), while left side dominance at this location appears to correlate with a parasympathetic pattern, i.e freeze or withdrawal response. Bilateral excess amplitude in the very low frequencies appears to correlate with inefficient executive function, focus, and clarity (Barry RJ, et al., Clin Neurophysiol, 2003).
As individuals move through the HIRREM process, the brain patterns will typically shift towards improved balance and quieting of hyperarousal. Examples of these types of changes in several subjects enrolled in the Developmental Study are shown below (Figure 6B, 7B, 8B). Every person is unique, and responds to HIRREM differently. There is also not a population-based "normal" brain pattern that is ideal, or most efficient for everyone. These examples are included to graphically illustrate the types of changes described in narrative form above.
Figure 6 A-B: Data from a female teenager enrolled due to autonomic dysfunction, manifesting with frequent nausea, obtained at T3/T4 with eyes closed, before HIRREM, and from the 13th HIRREM session. This subject had a total of 14 HIRREM sessions. At baseline (6A) the most prominent feature in the spectrograph is greater amplitudes in the higher frequencies on the right (110% right dominant in the 23-36 Hertz range at T4). At the 13th HIRREM session (6B) there has been balancing (now 10% left dominant in the same frequency range) and quieting (from 2.48 microvolts on the right in that range at baseline, to 0.44 microvolts at the same location and eye state).
Figure 7, A-B: Data from a 52 year old woman enrolled for insomnia, stress, and anxiety, obtained at T3/T4, with eyes closed, before HIRREM and at the 14th HIRREM session. This subject had a total of 14 HIRREM sessions. At baseline (7A) the most prominent feature is greater amplitudes in the higher frequency ranges on the left (106% left dominant in the 36-55 Hertz range at T3). At the 14th HIRREM session (7B) there has been balancing (now 7% left dominance in the same range) and quieting (from 1.33 microvolts in that range at baseline, to 0.42 microvolts at the same location and eye state).
Figure 8, A-B: Data from a 63 year old male enrolled for insomnia, with poor focus and concentration, obtained at T3/T4 with eyes closed, before HIRREM, and from the 10th HIRREM session. This subject had a total of 10 HIRREM sessions. At baseline (8A) the most prominent feature is excess amplitudes (just over 9 microvolts in the very low frequency ranges bilaterally, without important side difference). At the 10th HIRREM session (8B), there has been overall quieting of amplitudes bilaterally, most obvious in the very low frequencies (now less than 2 microvolts in the same frequency ranges at the same location and eye state).

Favourable start to 2015 season for John Parker
June 25, 2015
John Parker's 2015 flat track season got underway favourably on May 16th in Paris, ON. As per last season, Parker is again contesting the Veteran class as well as the premier Open Expert. On a rough and tough Paris ó mile track Parker stormed to his first wins of the season. He dominated both the Vet qualifier as well as the main despite suffering a practice crash earlier in the day that left him with some discomfort. In the Open Expert, which was stacked with the usual suspects, including the likes of Chris Evans, Tyler Sequin, Doug Lawrence and Steve Beattie, Parker claimed fourth in his qualifier. He was unable to finish the main, however, when his practice crash injuries became too much to deal with. He was later diagnosed with a broken rib and bruised lung.
"I've been down this road enough times to know I had injured myself beyond just some scrapes and bruises. The pain wasn't really that bad the first few hours and I was able to race in the Vet heat and main, and even the Open heat, but by the time I lined up for the Open main I was feeling pretty sore and after a few laps decided it was time pull off the track," Parker said. The following weekend, however, Parker felt good enough to race the Burford ó mile in Burford, ON. He contested both the Vet and Open Expert classes, nailing down wins in the former and fourth overall in the latter.
On May 30th Parker was at his home track in Welland, ON. As per last season, he contested the Vet class only on the . mile Welland County Speedway track. Like he did in Paris and Burford, Parker piloted his potent 2015 Kawasaki KX 450 DTX to wins in both his qualifier and the main. Parker was back in action in Welland on June 13th, where he won his Vet heat race and took home second in the main on a track that proved to be very slippery, due to the rains that had been hammering the Niagara region. "It's ironic that once I was on my race bike I felt no discomfort, the injury being more like a side note. But during the week I was dealing with a bit of pain. I felt totally at ease on my bike," Parker said. "The new KX 450 is simply awesome. My Dunlops surpassed expectations on all three tracks. I couldn't have asked for more, except maybe being spared that practice crash. As it turned out it was little more than a footnote." South of the border in Medina, NY, the first two rounds of the Medina TT Scrambles Championship, one of Parker's favourite series, was cancelled due to rain.

DDR on DTC: Tamiflu
This winter's Flu season reached "epidemic" proportions in many communities. This could be seen as great news for hand sanitizers, and for Genentech's Tamiflu antiviral drug. In this case, increased influenza in the population plus an excellent DTC campaign should result in good news for Genetech's bottom line.
The Tamiflu campaign uses Alice in Wonderland-type imagery to illustrate that flu is "more than a little cold," and that it needs to be taken seriously. We see a very large man sitting at a doll-sized table sipping from a teeny-tiny cup and an itsy-bitsy bowl of chicken soup. He looks chilled and miserable. Here, the Tamiflu copy is genius because it flips the usual OTC switch language (i.e., "Now available in prescription strength") to underscore the need for a prescription to feel better. The copy asserts that Tamiflu "works differently than over-the-counter remedies—it attacks the flu virus." The ads also convey urgency: "Don't wait. Call your Doctor right away." The print ads are particularly impactful with their visuals of the sufferer in a doll house.Tamiflu used a blitzkrieg media effort to capture peak flu season. It ran at high levels on TV, in Jan.-Feb. magazines and on news, weather and health websites. We hope this campaign strike yielded the reminder reach levels needed to drive requests for Tamiflu—especially for all those poor souls who had the aches and pains of "more than a little flu."

THE football community were yesterday united in mourning the deaths of two former managers - Scotland's Ally MacLeod and Sunderland'sBob Stokoe.
MacLeod, who led Scotland to the 1978 World Cup, passed away at his home in Ayrshire at the age of 72 after suffering from Alzheimer's disease, while Stokoe - who led the Wearside club to their famous 1973 FA Cup final victory over Leeds at Wembley - had been suffering from dementia and was admitted to the University Hospital of Hartlepool on Tuesday and passed away yesterday morning aged 73.
Former Scotland international and Liverpool star Kenny Dalglish, whose Blackburn Rovers side played a testimonial for MacLeod in 1993, led the tributes to the former Scotland boss.
"Ally was a real larger than life character," he said. "He was somebody who brought a great deal of humour into whatever company he was in.
"He will be sadly missed by everyone that knew him not just in Ayr. The game nowadays could certainly do with more characters of his kind."
Stokoe began his managerial career at Bury in 1961, whom he managed again in 1977, before he moved on to Charlton, Rochdale (twice), Carlisle (three times), Blackpool (twice) and, of course, Sunderland (twice).
A former Newcastle player, Stokoe guided Sunderland to the Second Division title in 1976 but poor results the following season led to him resigning and the club were relegated again under Jimmy Adamson.
A left winger in his playing days with Hibernian and Blackburn, MacLeod began his management career at Ayr before moving on to Aberdeen.
He returned to club management with Motherwell and Airdrie after Scotland's poor World Cup in Argentina, when defeat against Peru and a draw with Iran prevented them progressing from the group stages.
Ayr director John Dalton said, "It's devastating news for every Ayr United supporter because Ally MacLeod meant so much to us. He has been manager of the club three times and was a success every time."

November favourites time! I can't believe the year is almost over. It also means that my overseas trip is coming up in 2-3 weeks. Absolutely cannot contain my excitement! I don't have many favourites this month because I've been sticking to my stock standard products. I've picked out 5 products that I've been using consistently this past month.
My first favourite has to be the 4me Nail Polish Remover Pads. I have been loving the 4me nail polish remover pads for on the go. You know when you realize you have a massive chip, or when you wake up in the morning and you realize you smooshed your nail polish in your sleep and don't have time to take it off in the morning> We've all been there! This product is perfect for that. I carry them around in my handbag and have needed these regularly this month.
I have never heard about this brand but received these in my Bellabox last year when I was subscribed to them. They're round remover pads that have been soaked in nail polish remover and conditioner and are the size of a normal cotton pad. It is strange when you use them because they don't feel like you're using nail polish remover. The product feels slightly greasy (which is a result of the conditioner in the product I think) and almost dry to the touch. They are definitely effective though. I generally find that I need 2 remover pads to take off all the nail polish from my nails. The only problem is that I dislike the smell and if I leave the product on my nails I feel like they dry them out despite the conditioner, so I wash it off straight away.
They're super inexpensive as well with a price tag of $3.50. I'll definitely be taking these overseas as well. These are much more convenient than a bottle of nail polish remover.
A hair product I've been using majority of this month is the David Babaii Instant Miracle Hair Volume Powder. My hair is quite thick and heavy and so I always feel like my hair is too 'bottom heavy' with no volume. The texture of this is like a baby powder, but lighter and when rubbed together it turns into a tacky texture that really helps volumise the hair. I find that the volume that I get when I use this product falls down after a while, but a quick 'zoosh' to the hair brings all the volume back.
In terms of makeup I have been loving my Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder in Diffused Light and Topshop's Cream Blush in Flush. I won't talk too much about the Hourglass powder since it's been raved about enough, but let's just say the raves are true. It can set my makeup, gives my face a glow and reduces redness. I have not put this down since I bought it. I have also been loving Topshop's blush in Flush. I generally don't like putting my fingers in products because I feel it's unsanitary but this product is so easy to apply and blend that I just don't mind. I find Topshop's blushes in the pan a lot easier to blend in comparison to their stick blushes so I've been using this one over my cream blush sticks. It's the perfect pink shade to add life back into my face in the morning.
Last but not least is my Salvatore Ferragamo Signorina perfume but in the roller ball form. I spoke about this scent in my last favourites post but it's back again not because of the scent (which I still love) but because of the convenience of this roller ball. It's been perfect to pop into my handbag and touch up when needed or when you're in a rush and forget to put it on. I've never had a roller ball perfume before. If I've had a miniature size it's been the little bottles with the cap you pull off and then apply. The bottles are tiny and cute but the application can get messy. Perfume on your finger, running down the wrist etc... or is that just me? Anyway, roller ball perfumes are so convenient and amazing! It's like a whole new perfume world for me now...

Pension savings hit by a rise in interest rates could be boosted with equity release, says LV=. more
Over 50s intend to sell up or use equity release to fund their retirement and boost their pension income. more
Pensioners could use equity release to unlock the £775billion of property they own. more
Equity release is set to beome increasingly important to fill the pension gap. more
In response to concerns that a higher state pension age will leave many pensioners struggling financially, Key Retirement Solutions has suggested that equity release could plug the gap.
This week saw Brendan Barber, general secretary of the Trades Union Congress (TUC), criticised plans to increase the state pension age to 70, laid out in a report on retirement from the Institute of Directors.
"The better off you are, the longer you live and the more years you get to claim a state pension. A big rise in the state pension age would mean the less well-off lose a much bigger proportion of their pension than longer-living affluent pensioners, who are much less dependent on the state pension in any case," he said.
"With employers fighting hard to keep a retirement age of 65, such a proposal would condemn many older people to a limbo where they are too old to work and too young for a state pension.
"Taking from the poor to give to the rich is no way to reform the pensions system," he stressed.
Both the Labour and Conservative governments have recently proposed that they will increase the state pension age for men and women to 66 in the future, so retirees stand to suffer whichever party comes out on top in next year's election.
Increasing the age at which people are eligible to claim a state pension is likely to contribute to financial hardship in some retiree's households, Key Retirement Solutions said, but such "income shortfalls can be alleviated by generating a regular income through an equity release plan."
Equity release enables homeowners to unlock some or all of the value in their property, either as a lump sum or a regular income, to be used for any purpose they wish.

We offer both a traditional online MSW program and an advanced standing MSW program.

Notice the clothing detail this baby has as well (when zoomed in), very nice... And shouldn't this baby/kid have some contruction instead on her skull for making the skull longer? or is she born this way?

Place the chicken in the hot frying pan and fry for 3-4 minutes, each side, to cook thoroughly. Ensure chicken is completely cooked by slicing in to the thickest part and checking that there is no longer any pink showing.Meanwhile, roughly chop the basil and parsley and add to a bowl with the mayonnaise and lemon juice. Use a hand blender to blitz everything together and set aside.Toast the bread rolls under the hot grill until golden, then remove and rub the toasted sides with the garlic.Place the cooked chicken on the toasted bun base, top with the sliced tomato, a spoonful of mayonnaise, a few rocket leaves and the other half of the bun.For top tips on protecting you and your family when preparing raw meat and poultry, visit Food Safety in the Home.

Im a member of Michael-Myers.net, and all of us dress up like Michael from the "Halloween" movies and take pictures all year round But being the same person and only dressin up on Halloween is no fun. I also like a lot of Anime and like the idea of portraying some of my favorite characters. Its awesome there are communities of people that are in to this kind of thing, ive loved costumes since i was a little kid. Glad to be here, hope everyone is having a great year so far...

I had the privilege of doing several wordings and scrolls over the past couple of months, of in conjunction with other scribes.
One was for a joint Dragon's Bowle, for Dame Genevieve and Master Robert. Her then-majesty wrote a poem, which she asked me to improve upon, poetry being (mundanely) rather my thing. If she so wishes, Aryanhwy can post the original in a comment--I'm not going to post her work without permission. What it came out as, however, was this:
Reck ye the wordis wyse and wonder-full
of Paul and Aryanhwy, Drachenwaldish kings:
A preyse-woorthi lyfe values but vertu merritt-ful
and to a chast lyfe the wertws one clings;
commits no vyce, has grace and reddie witt,
ys meete and modest yn beryng and speche
bringys report to all of all wich be fit,
teches and succors all within reche
yn daunsynge and plaie; eke, to serue and leade.
Stond twoo here nowe, the moost bright and blest,
that kings deme moost hie of werdis and dede,
of curteys berying, with Goddes grace imprest.
Nowe from our hondis the dragonnes bowle take,
Genevieve Rouge Mauche and Caversham who Robert hight,
in token of owre esteeme and for owre own dere sake.
This do we both on this eue of twelft nyght
yn Dragonnes-schyre of auncient fayme
and sett to owre hondes to scele the sayme.
Then I set to work on Ary's county. The wording I took from http://www.nps.gov/fora/forteachers/draft-grant-of-arms-to-the-cittie-of-ralegh.htm , because I fell in love with some of the phraseology and spelling. So I was pleased with the wording. The illumination was taken from a 15th century grant of arms to Hugh Vaughan, as found in Michael Siddons' book Welsh Heraldry. In this I did something I rarely do, which is repeat a design. But it was 20 years ago, and in a different kingdom, so I figured I'd try to improve on it. This is the result:
This, however, is a much better example of an early Gothic hand (as in a Gothic hand which is early in the range of dates, not as in a proto-Gothic hand):
In both of these scrolls, I used raised gold. There was a discussion on what to use as base for gilding. I find it easy to use Roberson's water gold size (as sold by Cornelissen) to do nicely raised effects. I do two coats: a flat one, then a thicker one to gain height. I have to be careful when adding that I add the same amount evenly to the space treated (generally by moving the brush in tiny circles), and not getting bubbles, but it's really quite easy to master. The water gold size is (judging from the smell) mostly garlic and gum arabic. There's no plaster, so it is a size and not a gesso.
Gold is transfer gold (again from Cornelissen). I prefer to use 23 carat extra-thick transfer leaf, rather than the 24-carat thinner stuff. It does make a difference--less reapplication--despite the fact that I'm sure the 23 carat stuff is only microscopically thicker.
In the Sigillum, I am most pleased with the whitework on the blue bar.
