A question posed to Spas2b by a client of Spa Life Magazine:
We have a very difficult client that frequents our spa who without exaggerating is miserable, but she keeps coming. How can I get our staff to better cope with this and still respect the client? Any tips would be appreciated.
Our Response:
You first need to determine if you really should keep this client, and if you do keep her; whether you are willing to let her bad behavior continue to go unchallenged.
It's hard to expect your staff to act with genuine respect and kindness, when they are being treated with disrespect. Wherever possible, we want our staff's surroundings to be positive and uplifting, not energy depleting, so I would think that having a one on one with this client, in an attempt to uncover the reasons behind her bad behavior, might be prudent for you as the Manager.
When we know what the root causes are, it's easier to show empathy and understanding. But even if she is ill; lonely; or has a clinical disorder, she should not be allowed to use her problems as an excuse to be rude.
Too many allowances on your part, is like saying it's ok to treat your staff like that.
You might be surprised at the positive affect this meeting may have on her behavior – it may be all she needed to "snap out of it". But just in case, here are some ways you can help your staff to better cope with this situation:
- Calm down and have your staff resolve to stay calm when they are serving her, and not participate in the negativity;
- Boost their confidence by setting clear boundaries with them, on how she is to be handled. Tell them exactly what they can and cannot do and how far they can go with her. You may even need to do some scripting and/or role playing. This may end up being be used in other client scenarios as well (remember customer service is a systems approach);
- Decrease staff stress by making it clear to them that this client's bad behavior is not going to be rewarded with preferential treatment. They are at all times expected to handle themselves with professional courtesy, but they need not over-value her occasional niceness or feel she should be recognized for a "good visit";
- Relieve their guilt, self-doubt or impatience with the situation, by helping them understand it's not personal, it has little or nothing to do with them;
- Increase the odds of a good visit with this client, by coaching staff to listen to her more than they speak, and at the very least, being pleasant and co-operative in the face of her adversity;
- Empower staff with the knowledge that if they are confronted with a complaint from her, they can always promise her a resolution because they know you've got their back.
My observation over the years is that often times when a client is difficult, staff and management actually end up empowering the client. This happens because you bow down in a continual attempt to answer to her demands. It's like she's the offence now and you are the defence…wrong approach. You end up paying more attention to this culprit than the clients who really deserve it. In fact this is exactly what she is seeking and once you have handed over this power, her demands will most likely continue to ramp up.
I always believe that nipping bad behavior in the bud is the best solution, whether it's your customer, staff member, or child. Setting ground rules and sticking to them is the easiest way to peace and productivity.

We all know that times have changed actually very fast, and just in a few years technology has taken over the world by storm! People are getting affected by technology like zombies are made in a 1.5 hour hollywood movie, I mean you get the idea right? And now with
Whatsapp in our lives parents can keep an eye on you 24/7. The other day my mom asked why were I up so late and I was like" How do you know mom?" That too happened when we don't even live in the same city let alone house! And then It hit me. Oh Yeah! Whatsapp's last seen! (Thank god now we can change who sees it :p) So You see this is what happens when DESI (in my case Punjabi too) parents meet technology!
check out the video and have a good laugh! 😀
Obviously our parents are much cooler! But Hey! It was all in a good sense of Humour..We love our Desi parents anyway! 🙂

Don't worry, my own flowers have been well fed and watered.
The flower picture was made with oil pastels and textile dyes.
I made a frame, using photo-editing, with the colours in the flower painting then merged the frame and picture together.
I think this technique works quite well.

Symptom Checker
Step 4: Read and complete the decision guide to learn more about your symptoms.
Colon Cancer Screening
Colonoscopy is one of the best ways to screen for colon cancer. People who have a normal colonoscopy have a very low risk of developing colon cancer in the following decade.
Most experts believe that after a normal colonoscopy, you can wait ten years before your next colon cancer screening test. At that point, you can choose between several different tests, including
repeat colonoscopy
computed tomography, also called "virtual" colonoscopy
flexible sigmoidoscopy
stool cards (fecal occult blood tests)
barium enema.
Please provide feedback to help us improve the Drugs.com Symptom Checker.

HONK NYC 2017 Festival Artists
Damas de Ferro
Damas de Ferro ("Iron Ladies" in Portuguese) was formed in 2013 out of the desire to create a project that showcased street art and music made by women playing brass and percussion instruments. The band consists of 14 female musicians who play a repertoire of contemporary music in a variety of performance styles, from stage shows to the streets. The group believes strongly in empowering, and all the musicians share a common goal of highlighting and supporting all forms of feminist protest. #yourplaceiswhereveryouwant
New Creations Brass Band
New Creations Brass Band's talented crew hail from all parts of New Orleans. Brought together by a shared love of making great new music, they've studied, played with, and lived around several greats, like Shannon Powell, Shamarr Allen, and Trombone Shorty, and have worked with several other active second-line brass bands in New Orleans.
New Creations brings people together with their groovy, funky music, keeping the brass band style and the music of New Orleans alive as well as making new music of their own and sharing it with the universe!
Plezi RaRa
Plezi Rara is a new modern day haitian rara band from Brooklyn, NY. Our band is made up of native haitians looking for a way to strive and survive away from our motherland Haiti. Together we learned to take our struggles and problems, and put them into our music to create the sweet sounds of enjoyment, fun, and plenty of festivities. Our main goal is to spread the love the haitian way.
The Nevermind Orchestra
A phrenetic, psycho-jazz-grunge ensemble that reimagines the works of Nirvana through the lens of a modern brass band. Comprised of accomplished NYC musicians who have played with prestigious ensembles ranging from the Metropolitan Opera to the Commodores to Bruce Springsteen, the group has been leading grunge second-line marches on the stages, streets, and subways of the northeast since 2012. All of the classic Nirvana staples as well as some of their lesser-known covers and deep cuts receive a fresh but instantly recognizable overhaul with elements from funk-rock to blues to reggae to bhangra — but each is delivered with the same raw emotion displayed by Kurt, Krist, and Dave back in the day. As Time Out New York touts, "There's no shortage of Nirvana cover bands floating around, but none are quite like the Nevermind Orchestra.'"
Pussy Grabs Back: The Band
Formed on the eve of the 2016 election, Pussy Grabs Back is one part feminist feline marching band, one part queerdo, and 100% resistance. PGB has marched all the way from Trump Tower to the Atlantic Ocean to bring a message of hope and love to those trapped within the Cheeto Regime.
Veveritse Brass Band
Veveritse Brass Band finds its inspiration in the drama of the Romany (Gypsy) music of the Balkans. With an eye to the powerful exactitude of these melodies, Veveritse makes room for play. Slippery, even squirrelly, they may start off running almost too fast, only to drop the bottom out. What begins sonorous and jagged straightens up, carrying audiences into the night, dancing and sighing. With two trumpets, a saxophone, four mid-horns, a tuba, and two drummers, they are ten deep, creating not a wall of sound but a loud tapestry. Veveritse, with it's theatrical bent, has already scored two different nights of films, and played numerous benefits, parties, and clubs.
Hungry March Band
Hungry March Band (HMB) fuses street-band traditions with raw power and performance-art antics. Founded in 1997 for the Coney Island Mermaid Parade, this award-winning ensemble has shared their creativity with audiences throughout the United States, Canada, South America, and Europe. They've got a well-earned a reputation for mythical revelry, playing urban parades, rural raves, subway parties, eccentric weddings, art processionals, and many other forays into the territories of the free spirit. The band's huge sound links traditional big band with free jazz and connects the sonic space between punk rock and global brass. This is what it looks like when the majorettes go AWOL, team up with the band geeks, and throw an after-hours costumed dance party in the town square.
The L Train Brass Band
Founded by tubist Ryan Hall and trombonist David Joseph in March 2017, The L Train Brass Band quickly grew from a small, second-line brass band interest group on Meetup.com to a thriving community of nearly 40 contributing members. In June, they won honorable mention for Best Music Group at the Coney Island Mermaid Parade. This rotating, ragtag ensemble is excited by the opportunity to play anywhere and everywhere, covering a wide variety of music, from pop and hip-hop to funk and traditional Dixieland jazz to eclectic original charts. No matter where this train ends up, the primary goals are "fun first" and "keeping it weird."
Sxip Shirey
Sxip Shirey is a composer, performer, and producer based in New York City. His most recent release, A Bottle of Whiskey and a Handful of Bees, was hailed by NPR Music as "A 21st-Century Musical Creation." He tours internationally with the circus theatre spectacle "LIMBO." He's performed for Madonna, played at TED, wrote music for Neil Gaiman's short film Statuesque, and has presented his choral, "The Gauntlet," in city parks for Make Music New York. Shirey is a 2011 United States Artist Fellow. He is currently working on the music for Excuse Me There's a Faggot in My Closet, a new musical by Craig Harwood.
Funkrust Brass Band
Funkrust is a 15piece brass band founded and led by songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Phil Andrews (Rude Mechanical Orchestra, Gay Panic, Apocalypse Five & Dime) with vocalist and co-songwriter Ellia Bisker (Sweet Soubrette, Charming Disaster). In the past two and half years, the band has appeared at Halloween and New Year's Eve events at the McKittrick Hotel (home of Sleep No More), underground parties at Brooklyn's Rubulad and Gemini & Scorpio, the electronic music festival Mysteryland USA, a large-scale art performance at the Queens Museum, the O+ Festival in Kingston, NY, the World Maker Faire, and HONK NYC. Their sound blends post-punk, disco, EDM, metal, funk, Balkan brass, and New Orleans second line, while Bisker's lyrics evoke a postapocalyptic world where a brass band just might be our last hope. Featuring snazzy uniforms, choreography, megaphone vocals, and all original compositions, they are a spectacle not to be missed. NPR Music called their Tiny Deskvideo for "Zoology", which was recorded live in the Bedford-Nostrand G station, "a muscular but light-hearted fanfare with some slick choreography. It seems destined to shake a little funk into a few sleepy commuters' rides."
Frank London
So far in 2017, trumpeter/composer Frank London has premiered his opera Hatuey Memory of Fire in Havana, played with Itzhak Perlman, been featured with the Klezmatics at Budapest's Sziget Festival, toured Japan with Jinta-la-Mvta, released the Glass House Orchestra's Astro-Hungarian Jewish Music on Piranha records, been guest soloist at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, co-created the international immigrant orchestra Welcoming Strangers in Boston, taught music at Seoul National University and at London's SOAS, restaged his oratorio A Night in the Old Marketplace for the Folksbiene, been featured artist at the Yiddish Book Center's Yidstock, worked with Glen Berger on Underneath the Lintel and On Words & Onwards for Minneapolis' Theater Latté Da, recorded on Zion 80 and J Hacha de Zola's new albums, been featured artist with Yanky Lemmer at Warsaw's Singer Festiwal, and is playing and music-directing his original music for Karin Coonrod's Merchant of Venice at Peak Performances… and there are still four months to go.
Artists for a Free World Marching Band
The sound of resistance! In the dark of these times, we use our art to light the way.
The 3 Million Majority Marching Band
Founded shortly after the 2016 election, The 3 Million Majority Marching Band reminds all who are opposed to racism, misogyny, homophobia, and xenophobia that WE are still the American majority, despite the current political paradigm. Led by Sousaphonist Jared Engel, the group raises the decibel level of New York's social-justice rallies and marches. They quickly received notoriety for their "morale-boosting music" which was reported on in The New Yorker's "Talk of the Town." Like Joshua equipped with his shofar, The 3 Million Majority Marching Band blows down the walls and towers of oppression with an exuberant and mighty sound.
Raya Brass Band
Since 2008 Raya Brass Band has energized clubs, international festivals, rooftop parties, and subway cars with its hard-driving, original brass band music. The six members of the band bring their unique voices to the group, creating a sound informed as much by their love for the fierce and seductive music of the Balkans as it is by New Orleans brass bands, punk rock, and global music. Featuring trumpet, sax, accordion, tuba, and percussion, this band wails, sweats, and shouts alongside its audience.
Batala New York
Batalá New York is a part of a global arts project made up of over 30 bands around the world. The music of Batalá originates in Salvador, the capital of the state of Bahia, in northeastern Brazil. The international Batalá family owes its existence to Giba Gonçalves, a percussionist, composer and choreographer from Salvador. The first representation of Batalá in New York City, known as 'Batalá NYC,' was born in 2012. In the summer of 2016, under new leadership, this band incorporated as a not-for-profit organization, now called simply 'Batalá New York.'

How to Become a Donor or Surrogate
ELITE IVF, a Full-Service Egg Donor & Surrogate Agency – What our Patients Want
ELITE IVF seeks women between the ages of 18-34 years who have strong physical, emotional and psychological attributes. In addition to these requirements for our egg donation programs, our patients also expect the following:
- Impeccable medical screening results
- Proven fertility
- Attractive features
- College graduates in most cases
Initially, every donor applicant is requested to fill out a donor form. If a potential fit is seen, an interview with an ELITE IVF donor coordinator will be scheduled to determine if the prospective donor satisfies the medical and other screening requirements of our programs. Donors also meet with a fertility physician, laboratory staff member and psychologist to ensure that all requirements are met.
In addition, we are looking for donors that are willing to travel, as this possibility exists with several of our programs although donors who are unable to travel outside their home town are also welcome. In case of travel, a donor's expenses are covered for flights, accommodations, and meals during their travel for the egg retrieval. An ELITE IVF on-site donor coordinator at the destination clinic is also provided to ensure that the process is implemented according to plan.
Open & Anonymous Donations
Depending on the preference of our patients and donors, we respect the wish for either an anonymous or open IDegg donation. An anonymous donation is when personally identifiable information about the donor is not disclosed to the intended parents. This allows the donor to maintain her privacy in years to come. An open donation, on the other hand, allows access to this information by the intended parents or the child, once he/she reaches the age of 18. Donors and recipients have full discretion in determining if they wish to be in an anonymous or open donation program.
Why Egg Donation Programs Screen Potential Donors & Surrogates
Like any responsible full-service egg donor and surrogacy agency, ELITE IVF requires all potential donors and surrogates to undergo laboratory tests (both blood and urine) to ensure that candidates are in excellent health and do not carry any infectious diseases or genetic disorders. ELITE IVF's egg donation programs follow donor screening guidelines recommended by the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) and the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE).
"we were at the clinic, I thanked the doctor. His response was to thank him when the baby will be born. You can now tell him that we thank him and all of your team every day! " Audrey Payette & Christian Deblois

The Information Gap ePub
by George Gerbner
The computer and other new communication technologies have changed the way we live. However every technological innovation carries with it the potential to liberate or exclude various parts of our society, and the current information age seems to fragment and privatize access to the knowledge provided by the new technologies. Who is affected by the "information gap" and what is the role of communication technology in widening or closing it? These vital, complex questions are the subject of this special issue of the Journal of Communication—the noted computer-age forum for debate and scientific understanding. The Information Gap brings together articles, reports, and proposals from a broad variety of cross-disciplinary sources. The result is a comprehensive and enlightening overview that probes current trends in the social distribution of the new technologies, explores the obstacles to information equality, and shows how some social groups have embraced today's technological promise more than others. This special edition also provides commentary on entrenched institutional barriers that may contribute to the persistence of the information gap. This report will be of value to all readers interested in the impact of the computer age on today's society and the world of the future.

Saw how high were the great cedars,
And gazed upon the entrance to the forest.
There, where Humbaba was wont to tread,
Was a fine path; straight it was and easy to travel.
They saw also the Cedar Mountain, where lived the gods
And Irnini, Goddess of Love, holy Inanna had her throne seat
The cedar raised aloft its great luxuriant growth:
What cool shade, what delight!
Covering the brushwood, covering the….
(Here the text breaks off. It resumes, after an indeterminate lapse, with Gilgamesh speaking to Enkidu:)
'Rise up, cast your gaze tot he mountain….!
My divine sleep has been torn from me.
My friend, I saw a dream – Oh, how ill-omed!
How….! How disturbing!
I seized a wild bull of the steppe;
He bellowed, he kicked up the earth,
And the duks darkened the sky.
I gave way before him.
He was seizing…. strength, my flank
He tore out the ……………………….
He provided food…………………..he drank
He gave me water to drink from his water-skin.'
[The text continues unbroken without identifying the speakers, but Enkidu is obviously replying to Gilgamesh:]
'My friend, the god to whom we go is not a wild bull,
Although his form is surpassing strange.
What you saw as a wild bull is really
The radiant Shamash the Sun
He will take us by the hand in our dire need,
He who gave you the water to drink from his water-skin –
He is your special god who brings you honour, Shamash the Sun.
We should therefore join him together
With Lugulbanda, your father, your own god, your familiar,
So that we might do a deed, such deed,
Which, though we die, yet will not be inglorious.'
[There may be a break here, as the order of the fragments is uncertain. But the text continues coherently:]
They took hold one of the other
And went to their nightly rest
Sleep descended upon them –
As it were the great surge of night.
But upon midnight hour a-sudden,
Sleep flew from Gilgamesh.
To Enkidu, his friend, he tells his dream:
'If you have not waked me, then how do I wake?
Enkidu, my friend, I must have seen a dream!
Have you not waked me? Why ……?
Aside from that first dream,
I now have seen a second dream;
In my dream a great mountain fell,
Pinned me to the ground, trapped my feet beneath it.
A great glare of light overwhelmed me.
A man like any other –
Such a man as we have never seen –
Stepped forth from the light.
His grace and beauty were more,
More than any on this earth.
He freed me from the mountain,
Gave me water to drink,
Quieted my heart.
He put my feet back on the earth.'
Enkidu spoke to Gilgamesh,
Said to him:
'My friend, let us go down into the plain,
Let us go take counsel together.'
[Several lines are lost here, and we don't have Enkidu's interpretation of the dream. Perhaps the wondrous man is again Shamash, who was seen as a bull, probably because the Epic was written in the Age of Taurus, between 4,000 and 2,000 BCE, when the sun rose at the spring equinox in the sign of the Bull. Shamash is also the root deity of Gilgamesh. After a break, the text resumes as follows, with Gilgamesh again speaking:]
'A second dream I saw:
We were standing in mountain gorges
And a mountain fell upon us.
It was so large that by comparison
We were like small reed flies –
Like the little fly of the cane-brakes we were.'
He who was born on the steppe…
Enkidu said to his friend:
'My friend, the dream is auspicious,
It is a precious dream….
My friend, that mountain which you saw
That mountain is Humbaba.
We shall seize Humbaba, we shall kill him,
And cast his dead body on the plain.
On the morrow…'
After 20 intrvals, they broke off a morsel
After 30 more, rested for the night.
Before Shamash the Sun they dug a well….
Gilgamesh went up a mountain
Made offering of his fine-meal and intoned:
'O Mountain, bring a dream for Enkidu,
Bring for him a dream of mine to interpret!'
And the mountain did bring a dream for Enkidu.
It brought for him….
Cold rain passed overhead….
He had to take shelter….
…. and like unto the wild barley of the mountains…..
Gilgamesh puts his chin to his knees,
Sleep which falls upon mankind
Fell upon Gilgamesh.
He started, full awake, said to his friend:
'My friend, have you called me?
Why am I awake?
Did you touch me?
Why have I started so?
Did not some god pass by?
Why have I gone numb?
Why are my limbs paralysed?
My friend, I saw a 3rd dream,
And this dream was terrible in every way.
The heavens were roaring and screaming
The earth was blasted with booming sounds,
And darkness descended like a shroud –
A sudden streak of fire as lightning flashed,
The clouds grew bloated and full
And they rained down death!
Then the fire-glow of the skies died out
And all the fallen of the fire
Of that downpour of death
Crusted over to ashes.
Oh, let us go down into the plain!
There we can take counsel!'
When Enkidu heard this,
Heard the dream his friend offered him,
He said to Gilgamesh interpreting his dream,
Made him come to acceptance of his dream:
[Most unfortunately we do not have any account of Enkidu's interpretation of the dream as the text breaks here. When the text resumes, Gilgamesh and Enkidu are no longer conversing about the dream but have arrived at the forest of Humbaba:]
Gilgamesh gripped the axe
And with it felled the cedar.
Humbaba, hearing the sound of this,
Fell into a fury and raged:
'Who is it who has come –
Come and intefered with my trees?
My trees which have grown on my own mountains?
And has also felled the cedar?'
But just then from heaven came the voice
Of the Great God Shamash the Sun:
'Have no fear. Approach him and……..
March, as long as………..
He enters not into his house……..'
[Here the text breaks off. Gilgamesh and Enkidu are apparently given instructions by the voice of Shamash on how to approach Humbaba in order to kill him. This would seem to include specific directions and useful information about Humbaba's movements. But the heroes do not seem to fare very well even with such helpful hints:]
His tears streamed down from him
And Gilgamesh said to Shamash in heaven:
[Here two lines are mutilated in the tablet and cannot be read:]
'But I have taken the way of heavenly Shamash,
I have trod the way he said.'
Humbaba said to him, said to Gilgamesh:
'The fool, the stupid man –
They should take advice, Gilgamesh!
Why do you now approach me?
With that Enkidu, that son of a fish (2)
Who knew not his father,
Companion of the small turtles, of the large turtles,
And who never sucked the milk of his mother?
In your youth I beheld you
Now should I kill you to satisfy my belly?
Shamash brought you, Gilgamesh, and allowed you to reach me.
It is through his assistance that you are stepping along thus.
But, Gilgamesh, I will bite through the palate-pin
Of your throat and your neck.
I will allow the shrieking serpent-bird
The eagle and the raven to eat your flesh!'
Gilgamesh said to his friend, said to Enkidu:
'My friend, Humbaba's facial features have altered,
And their configuration raises itself to an equal height (3)
But my entrails are gripped by fear that we are too hasty.'
Enkidu said to him, said to Gilgamesh:
'My friend, why do you wail so miserably
And let your mouth go flabby
And conceal yourself?
For now, my friend,
The axe has been cast for you –
The copper-smith poured its molten metal from the gutter channel,
Annealed it by heating for a double-hour,
Allowed it then to cook for a double-hour,
Producing this weapon of the flood-storm.
Seize the whip –
Travel not on your feet,
Do no turn back!
Strike with the axe and make your blow strong!'
Shamash in heaven heard the prayer of Gilgamesh
And against Humbaba rose up mighty winds:
The Great Wind, the North Wind, the South Wind, the Whirlwind,
The Storm Wind, the Chill Wind the Tempestuous Wind
The Hot Wind – eight were the winds.
They rose up against Humbaba.
Lo! He cannot move forwards!
Lo! He cannot move backwards!
And so Humbaba relented.
Then Humbaba answered Gilgamesh:
'Oh, do let me go, Gilgamesh! You will be my master, I will be your servant.
And as for my trees, My trees which I have grown,
I will……………………….
I will cut them down and build you houses.'
But Enkidu said to Gilgamesh:
'Do not listen to him.
Hark not to the word of Humbaba.
Humbaba must not live!'
[An earlier fragment from Uruk published in 1980 by von Weiher gives a variant version of this section, listing 13 winds rather than 8:]
……… they might be turned away,
……… distant are they.
He struck his head and drew himself up against him.
With the heels of their feet they removed the earth;
Mount Hermon and Lebanon and their surrounding districts
Are being destroyed.
Then the white clouds became black,
And it rained the presage of death on them
Like a light rain in a mist (4).
But Shamash raised up great winds against Humbaba:
The South Wind, the North Wind,
The East Wind, the West Wind,
The Blowing Wind,
The Squally Wind,
The Shaparziqqu Wind,
The Evil Storm,
The Sihurra Wind,
The Wind of Frost,
The Storm,
The Thunder Storm –
13 winds he raised against him
And Humbaba's face was darkened.
He cannot push forwards,
He cannot run backwards;
But the weapons of Gilgamesh could now reach Humbaba.
Humbaba now besought his life,
And said to Gilgamesh:
'Small you were, Gilgamesh –
Your mother bore you,
And you are of the offspring of ……..
Agreable to the command of Shamash
Of the Lord of the Mountains, you rose up
"But he is the offspirng
In the midst of Uruk:
The king – Gilgamesh!"
[Here three lines are missing, except that the mention of the name of Gilgamesh can be made out twice:]
I will sit down with you and………….
Trees, as many as you already have said……
I will defend you! The wood of the myrtle…………….
It is enough………..
Enkidu said to him, said to Gilgamesh:
'My friend, do not listen
To what Humbaba says.'
[Here some lines are missing. A mutilated fragment published by Gernot Wilhelm in 1988 can be inserted about this point. Humbaba appears to castigate Enkidu for bringing Gilgamesh to him:]
'…… You have led him before me!
…… splendour.'
[Humbaba then appears to complain either to Gilgamesh or Enkidu that he did not stay at home enjoying simple comforts:]
'Could you not marry a wife
And satisfy yourself with her voluptuousness?'
[Humbaba then appears to be batterd by the various winds:]
But the great winds roared against Humbaba
…. the …. dust-storms flowed
Perpetually on his head.
[Enkidu then seems to plead with Gilgamesh to kill Humbaba:]
'I beg you to listen to me, my friend!'
….. he struck down once more speedily and
….. to the little child.
[We now return to won Weiher's 1980 fragment. Humbaba is speaking to Enkidu:]
'But you know the sign of my forest, the sign……
And you know precisely everything that is said.
I should have lifted you up on high,
I should have killed you upon your entrance
Into the branches of my forest!
I should have let the shrieking serpent-brid,
The eagle and the raven eat your flesh!
But now, o Enkidu,
It lies with you. Make limp your wrath.
Speak to Gilgamesh!
He might spare my life!'
Enkidu said to his friend, said to Gilgamesh:
'My friend, Humbaba the guardian of the Cedar Forest……
Strike him to maim him.
Kill him! Crush him! And quickly,
Humbaba, the guardian of the forest –
Strike him to maim him.
Kill him! Crush him! And quickly.
Before God Enlil, the Foremost hears his cries.
The gods will be filled with wrath against us for our deed.
Enlil in the city of Nippur, Shamash in…..
Put down and…..'
As Gilgamesh came nearer to Humbaba
But Humbaba heard his approach.
And ….. Humbaba……
[Here many lines are lost:]
He heard………………………….
[Here three lines are lost. Humbaba is speaking to Enkidu:}
……….. my forest……………..
But denunciations are caused…..
You sit there like a shepherd………
But as………………….
But now, o Enkidu,
It lies with you. Make limp your wrath.
Speak to Gilgamesh!
He might spare my life!'
Enkidu said to his friend, said to Gilgamesh:
'My friend, Humbaba, the guardian of the forest……
Kill him and quickly
Before God Enlil, the Foremost, hears his cries…..
The gods will be filled with wrath agains us for our deed.
Enlil in the city of Nippur, Shamash in…..
But Humbaba heard his approach
[Here many lines are lost. When the text resumes, Gilgamesh and Enkidu seem to be quarreling;]
'Should not……
Should not erect a higher altar than his friend?
Gilgamesh and Enkidu should never more
Have one another as friends!'
Enkidu said to him, said to Gilgamesh:
'My friend, I speak to you
But do you not put a stop to my words.'
[The above may not have been a quarrel, but might instead have referred to them never again having each othr as friends because one of them might die. Now many lines are lost, including the description of the slaying of Humbaba, which however, survives in other versions. The last portion of the 1980 fragment comes at the end of this tablet.
We now turn to the Sumerian tale Gilgamesh and the Land of the Living, written in Sumerian language long before the Babylonian culture exited, and hence representing the earliest stage in the Gilgamesh literature. In this version the situation is slightly different. Gilgamesh and Enkidu did not go alone on their expedition but were accompanied by 50 strong warriors of Uruk, each of whom carried in his hands a felled tree – which there is some reasons to believe served as oars. These 50 warriors were probably the prototypes of the 50 Greek Argonauts, particularly as the tale of the Argo was current in the time of Homer, since Homer himself referred to it as the 'fabled' Argo. It is these 50 anonymous heroes who are referred to below collectively as the sons of the city:]
Gilgamesh prayed:
'O Shamash, by the life of my mother Ninsun, who gave birth to me,
And of pure Lugulbanda, my father, truly I have entered this land of the cedar
And here have I known your dwelling place.
My small weak strength truly have I brought into this land for you as……
…. in your……………..would I enter.'
Then Humbaba himself uprooted for Gilgamesh
The first of his trees.
The sons of the city who had come
Come with Gilgamesh from Uruk
Cut down the tree's crown, bundled it,
Lay it at the foot of the mountain.
After Humbaba himself had finished off
The seventh tree for him,
Gilgamesh approached his chamber.
He … d the ' snake of the wine quay' (5) in his wall'
Like one pressing a kiss, he slapped his cheek
Like a captured ox, A nose ring was thrown over HUmbaba.
Like a captured hero,
A rope was fastened about him.
Humbaba, his teeth shook,
He warded off Gilgamesh:
'Oh, I would say a word unto
But Enkidu answered Gilgamesh:
'She the tallest who discriminates not,
She Namtar, awful Fate,
She will devour.
Namtar knows no distinctions.
If the caught bird is let go free,
Flies back to his place;
If the captive man returns,
Returns to the bosom of his mother;
Then will you never return to your city
To that city of your mother who gave birth to you.'
Humbaba says to Enkidu:
'To him, o Enkidu
You have spoken evil against me!
O mere hireling, who carries the food,
Who stands next to the….. of the rival,
You have spoken evil words to him!'
Humbaba then uttered against them his first terrifying roar.
The 50 companions then moved forward with Gilgamesh;
They cut down the branches, they tied them,
They laid these at the foot of the mountain.
The companions moved forward with Gilgamesh;
They cut down the branches, they tied them,
They laid these at the foot of the mountain.
He uttered against them his third terrifying roar.
The companions moved forward with Gilgamesh;
They cut down the trunk, they cut the side of Humbaba,
He uttered his fourth terrifying roar.
The companions moved forward towards him;
They cut down the trunk, they cut his side
They laid them at the foot of the mountain.
He uttered against them his fifth terrifying roar,
The companions moved forward towards him
They cut his trunk, they cut his side,
They laid these at the foot of the mountain.
He uttered his sixth terrifying roar.
The companions advanced towards him
They cut his trunk, they cut his side.
They laid these at the foot of the mountain.
At the moment when his 7th roar was coming to an end,
He approached the room where he rested.
His figure was formed like a serpent of…… wine
Like someone who gets ready to give a kiss,
He laid the palm of his hand against his cheek (6)
As for Humbaba, his face now became noble.
Like a captured mountain bull on a leash, he approached;
Like a captured sailor, he had tied elbows.
Humbaba, the tears came to his eyes, he grew pale:
'Gilgamesh, you, you know?
My king? Let me say a word:
A mother, who would have brought me into the world
I did not know one.
A father, who would have raised me –
I did not know one.
The mountain begat me –
You, you will raise me!'
Gilgamesh swore by the sky,
Swore by the earth,
Swore by the Underworld;
He took the …. in his hand,
When he would not want to lose it?
And of Gilgamesh, sono of Ninsun,
Now is his heart moved to pity.
To his servant Enkidu, he spoke these words:
'Enkidu, a caught bird –
Ought he not to return to the arms of his mother?'
Enkidu interrupted him:
'But you, should you be taken prisoner,
You will not return to the arms of your mother.
Who has ever seen the hands of a prisoner of war unbound?
An imprisoned priest returned to the temple residence?
A lukur-priestess returned to her pleasures?
If you set him free,
He will obstruct the way up the mountain,
He will make the footpath impassable up the mountain.'
Humbaba, who had heard this speech,
Addressed these words to Enkidu:
'You, Enkidu, you have spoken these words,
Hostile and pernicious.
You, the mercenary, recruited for a pittance,
Who drags himself along after his fellow.
Such are you – that is why
The hostile words come!'
Because he had spoken in this manner,
Enkidu, in an excess of fury,
Cut off his head,
Wrapping it in a shroud.
[Another fragment gives the following version:]
When he had spoken thus,
They cut off his neck
They placed upon him….
They brought him before God Enlil and Goddess Ninlil
Enlil brought forth from the sea his palace servant
And Ninlil brought forth from…. her….
When Enlil and Ninlil…..
'Why thus……?
Let him come forth, let him seize…..'
[We now return to where we broke off a moment ago]
In front of Enlil they entered,
In front of Enlil, having kissed the earth,
They threw down the shroud,
They took out the head
And they rested it in front of Enlil.
Enlil, at the sight of Humbaba,
Grew angry at the words of Gilgamesh and said:
'Why do you act in this way?
May your faces be seared by fire!
May the food you eat be eaten by fire!
May the water you drink be drunk by fire!'
[There is a gap here, during which Enlil presents Gilgamesh with the seven melammus or roars of Humbaba:] (7)
At the end of their conversation,
After his servant had prepared a sweet….
Enlil said:
'Place him down before you,
Make him eat the bread that you eat,
Make him drink the drink that you drink.
After Enlil had taken away Humbaba,
He retained his exalted terrifying roar;
He attached the first roar to a large river;
He attached the second roar to…………….
He attached the third roar to ….. which carried….
He attached the fourth roar to a lion
He attached the fifth roar to barbarity,
He attached the sixth roar to a mountain
He attached the seventh roar to the goddess Nungal (8).
To the king, who subdued and conquered the terrifying roar,
To Gilgamesh the wild bull.
Who plunders the mountain.
Who goes from there to the sea –
Glory to him!
And from valiant Enkidu -glory to Enki!
God Enki, that your glory be sweet!
[The Sumerian text breaks off here. The text which follows is from a recently discovered fragment of a later period and also uses the imagery of the caught bird. As the reader will already have noted, the reference in the Sumerian material to the cutting down of the trees as a gesture of appeasement by Humbaba to Gilgamesh continues a theme in the fragment of a later period which cam just before the Sumerian inset.
We now return to the Epic of the later period, which offers another version of the death of Humbaba:]
Gilgamesh said to Enkidu:
'We will arrive in…………………,
In the confusion the melammus will vanish –
The melammus, the furies, the radiant beams,
The ordained haloes of the power, these –
They will vanish.
The melammus will vanish and then
The brilliance will become all clouded.'
Enkidu said to Gilgamesh:
'My friend, first catch the bird.
Then, where will the young birds fly?
Therefore let us see later those Melammus.
For, like young birds, they will only run about the grass!
First kill Humbaba, then kill his servants!'
Gilgamesh heeded the words of his friend.
With his hand he took the axe,
Drew the sword from his belt.
Gilgamesh struck the neck of Humbaba,
Enkidu, his friend, struck Humbaba twice also.
At the third blow Humbaba fell.
Confusion….. dumbfounded,
He struck the watchman, Humbaba, to the ground.
For two leagues the cedars resounded.
Enkidu killed with him
Forest…. cedars
At whose word Mount Hermon -Saria (9)
And all the Lebanon trembled.
All the mountains became…….
All the hills became…….
He slew the ……cedars,
Those destroyed…. after he killed the seven,
The net…. the sword which weighed eight talents,
The netam (10) of eight talents,
Bearing these he pressed on into the forest.
He opened up the secret dwelling of
The 50 Great Gods, the Anunnaki,
They who are seated on their thrones.
While Gilgamesh cut down the trees,
Enkidu dug up the urmazili (11)
Enkidu said to Gilgamesh:
'………Gilgamesh, felled are the cedars.'
[The 1980 fragment of von Weiher provides a bit more of the text here:]
……. the blow of their rottenness,
Gilgamesh felled the trees,
Enkidu searched everywhere towards…..
Enkidu said to him
Said to Gilgamesh:
'My friend up to now the high-grown cedar's tip would have penetrated to heaven
I make from it a door whose height will be six dozen yards (12)
Whose width will be two dozen yards.
One yard will b its thickness. Its door-pole
Its lower door-hinge and its upper door=hinge
Each one will be one….
To the city of Nippur one might bring it,
To Nippur which is midway between the River Euphrates and the River Tigris
Then they joined together a raft….
Enkidu [steered?] ……
And Gilgamesh…….the head of Humbaba….
They washed……
1. The Greek Hipparchos is sometimes credited with 'discovering' the precession of the equinoxes in the second century BCE, but it was known that the Babylonians were well aware of the phenomenon centuries earlier. Otto Neugebauer, a leading historian of sciene, stresses that Hiparchos was greatly influenced by Babylonian astronomy and drew his history of lunar motions from it. The precession of the equinoxes is the process by which, like a spinning top, the earth processes in space over a period of approximately 26,000 years. During this period the sun rises roughly every 2,000 years at the spring equinox in a particular star constellation; it traverses all twelve zodiacal signs in this way over the course of the 26,000 years. The sun rose in what we now call Taurus between about 4,000 and 2,000 BCE, that was the Age of Taurus. Peter Tompkins believes that ancient Egyptian inscriptions stating that the Bull marks the beginning of the spring indicate that knowledge of the precession of the equinoxes goes back to 4,000 BCE in Egypt. Certainly it would have to be before 2,000 BCE, because by then the bull no longer marked the beginning of the spring.
2. This appears to associate Enkidu with the fish-men culture heroes of ancient Sumer (See Tablet VII, note 2).
3. Humbaba's facial features comprised the coils of lamb intestines consulted in divination. If their configuration altered, the omen altered. The reference is a double one, referring also to the configuration of orbital loops of Mercury's orbit as seen from the earth; these would have to 'rise to an equal height' in order for Humbaba's head to be cut off (See Tablet VII, note 3).
4. See Tablet XI, note 23.
5. No one knows what 'snake of the wine quay' means. It is a literal translation which, unfortunately, makes little sense.6.
6. This strange passage refers to Humbaba-as-intestines. The description of his figure being formed like a serpent refers to the configuration of the spiral colon of a lamb used in divination. The normal number of loops of the spiral colon was seven; the seven roars refer to these. At the end of the seventh loop-roar, the monster 'approached the room where he rested'; this refers to how at the centre of the spiral the colon turns back on itself, thus 'resting'. (The resting of the spiral colon can also be equated with the turning and retrograde motion of Mercury in the sky.)
Cutting the trunk and cutting the side probably refers to fissures in divinatory liver, which look exactly like cuts and had major significance to the Sumerians and Babylonians; the divinatory name for one of these fissures was actually 'blow at the front of the enemy's army', so the fissures could be interpreted as blows or cuts.
Tying up branches and laying them at the foot of the mountain might be a reference to the processus pyramidalis, which stands like a pyramidal mountain over the liver, at the foot of the gall bladder (a very important divinatory indicator), which when removed from the liver might have been tied at the top to prevent the escape of its bile.
7. The meaning of the seven melammus is somewhat obscure and subject to discussion. Certainly, as mentioned in note 6, they refer to the seven loops of a lamb's intestines consulted in divination, and this in turn hints at the orbit of the planet Mercury. But the melammus are also in some sense magical cloaks or as some scholars say, aura coasts which surround Humbaba.
8. Nungal is presumably a variant of the name of Ningal, the Moon goddess.
9. Saria is the Akkadian name for Mount Hermon, in Lebanon.
10. A netam is apparently some kind of weapon, but only this much is known about the word.
11. The meaning of urmazili is unknown. It could possibly be the root of a tree or a plant.
12. I have translated ammatu as a yard ad akalu, which is 12 ammatus, as dozen yards. In the literal sense, this is more or less what they are.

Hi guys I'm back with a Fashion in Five style post and I wanted to share 5 times science fiction has heavily influenced my wardrobe starting with:
The Lost Boys, a film from the 80s chock full of big hair, vampires and a young Kiefer Sutherland. The men's fashion in this film inspired my appreciation for androgynous elements. After seeing the Lost Boys I wanted boyfriend jeans, loose trousers and an oversized motorcycle jacket.
A look inspired by Lost Boys:

The Fifth Element is a futuristic action packed film about a young woman named Leeloo who has the fate of the world in her hands. This film has all the eccentric elements of alien ambassadors, flying cabs and a blonde haired Chris Tucker. I love the film's odd ball qualities such as its mix of humor with a little apocalyptic anxiety. Besides the film's plot elements, you can tell there was attention paid to the general color scheme because of the film is mix of metallic bright colors all over the place, which have been known to inspire me with ease.

The perceptual challenge that led NBC to suspend Brian Williams without pay for six months was obvious: If the public couldn't trust Williams to accurately report the events he witnessed with his own two eyes, then how could they trust him to report anything at all? Not only was the credibility of NBC News at stake, so were the millions of eyeballs that NBC's sponsors paid handsomely to reach.
After all, what good is a news anchor that the public cannot believe and — worse yet, for the company — will no longer watch?
An anchor's foremost "brand assets" must include credibility, intelligence, integrity and insight; otherwise, all he offers viewers is entertainment-value and/or personable likability (both of which, incidentally, Williams had in spades). Williams had hoped that his initial apology of "misremembering" the events in Iraq would silence the critics and reestablish his credibility as an honorable, credible newsman. Instead, it backfired.
Here's why it failed:
- When you make a mistake, explain why. Williams' first explanation failed because he seemed utterly mystified how his unfortunate penchant for hyperbole came back to bite him. Williams should have been honest, contrite, and bared his soul. Even if you're not entirely sure what happened, candidly reveal your innermost suspicions: If you were so moved by the courage and bravery of the men and women of the United States Armed Forces — and furthermore, if as a journalist, you're constantly imagining what it would be like to live in harm's way — then say so. If you suspect that your fear of being blown to bits in a warzone contributed to your confusion, acknowledge it. After flying in and out of international time zones, popping Ambien to reset your body-clock, and being repeatedly asked to recite what you saw and heard ad nauseum, if you somehow remember talking about what happened better than you remember what you actually saw, say so as well. Finally, if you're ashamed because you now realize that you tried to pass off the bravery of those you placed on a pedestal as your own, say it. Be direct, own the situation, and force the audience to viscerally feel your sorrow and regret.
The public doesn't expect you to be perfect. There's a certain charm to a celebrity's flaws: There's something inherently honesty about baring your deep-seated imperfections. But when caught in a lie, you need to convey something other than your own bewilderment.
- Williams failed to immediately announce a plan to ensure this would never happened again. Simply acknowledging a mistake is never enough; you must also announce a new strategy to prevent the mistake from reoccurring. Williams could have declared that he'd forego Ambien in future overseas assignments, because he'd rather be sleepy for a few days than have anything interfere with your memory. He could have announced the hiring of a new, experienced ombudsman for the TV news division, who was specifically hired to triple-check every fact. And lastly, he could have sworn-off appearing on entertainment outlets, because he didn't want the subconscious desire to entertain an audience to ever again compete with his duty to tell the truth.
He didn't. And now he's paying the price.
- Brian Williams failed to make amends with the injured party: The United States Armed Forces. NBC has enormous resources at its disposal. The Armed Services that safeguarded Williams during his time in Iraq should have received a gift that passed the "reasonable man test" as considerate and appropriate. Additionally, they should have also receive a personal, handwritten apology from Brian Williams, where he expressed his remorse. For example:
Dear XXX,
You and your colleagues are the most courageous people I know. I'm so grateful for your heroism, and so sorry I spoke falsely of my time with you. God knows you deserve better than that. When I returned to America, others thought I was being brave because I led them to believe that I took risks on one single day that you took every day; such is the enormity of your heroism. I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me. Even if you can't, please know that my admiration for you is eternal. You're the bravest of the brave! Thank you for taking risks I never could, and may God bless you and your family for all the days of your life.
–Brian Williams
Brian Williams boasted falsely about his life being in mortal jeopardy. Now his career is now facing a life-and-death moment. Had he adopted the right crisis communications protocol, there's a good chance he would have escaped unscathed.

With the story I'm going to tell you, you'll understand why I will never forget when, how and where I met Nicky Hayden. It was Friday, November 1, 2002, at the Cheste circuit in Valencia.
I must admit that in those years I did not follow or pay much attention to the AMA Championship, but I knew of Nicky's existence for several months, especially since after the summer of that year HRC announced that Nicky would be an official rider and teammate to Valentino Rossi on the Honda Repsol team. But my "knowledge" about Nicky Hayden and my interest in him was not because of HRC's announcement, but because my daughter Sara, who was just 14 years old at the time, started hound me about a charming, handsome and very nice American rider who was entering the World Championship. This was Nicky Hayden.
Sara came with me to a few GP races, the very first of which was final race of the 2002 World Championship. It was Friday, November 1st, around noon as we were walking through the paddock that my daughter went crazy. Crazy the way children do when they see something they want (and sometimes not only children). Very excitedly she said: "Patito, patito…there's Nicky Hayden." Patito was a ward that Sara used with me when she wanted my attention, when something was urgent, immediate. Honestly, I would not have recognized Nicky Hayden among the thousands of people who are usually in a paddock, and there are even more in Cheste paddock. He was dressed in "civilian" clothes, wearing nothing that would indicate he was a "future" official rider and, truthfully, even if he had stepped right in front of me, I wouldn't have known who he was.
"I will carry this flag in my backpack until I give it to you the day you win the World Championship"
We approached him. Nicky walked the paddock alone. No one recognized him. I called him over and introduced myself. I told him that I was a journalist for the World Championship, and then welcomed him and congratulated him on his signing for the official Honda team. Very attentively, Nicky asked me: "What did you say your name was…?" I repeated my name and he, asking my permission, took my pass and looked on the back of it where your name and the media outlet you represent are written. Then I explained that it was my daughter who had recognized him and he asked: "What's your name?" "Sara," she replied. Never again, and we saw each other many times and always asked about her, did Nicky need reminding of my daughter's name.
During that weekend we ran into him again several times. Whenever we saw him was alone, and when he saw us he acted like he saw someone he had known all his life. He called my daughter by her name and between them, because Sara spoke English much better than me (my attempt wasn't, and isn't, better than a bad Sioux dialect…), they had good chats. The impression I got from the "Kentucky Kid" couldn't be better. I was impressed. We were impressed.
A few months later, as early as March 2003, IRTA practice was held at Montmeló. It was Nicky Hayden's long-awaited entry into the official HRC team, Team Honda Repsol. Because of this they had set up a big media tent, and we saw practically every media person who was involved in the World Championship in it. Once the speeches from the "jefazos" (the heads of HRC and those of Repsol) were complete, the question and answer session began. I didn't count, but if there were 25 questions, all 25 were for Valentino Rossi. Bored of the same old questions, and seeing that absolutely no one present would ask the youngest AMA champion in history anything, I approached one of Repsol's "jefazos" (Javier Inclán) and I said, "Javier…this is so boring. Will you allow me to stir things up?" And Javier Inclán answered, "Stir things up as soon as possible."
"Authorized" by the "boss" (I didn't want to stand out or fool about at a world-wide presentation), I asked for the microphone. I was almost at the back of the tent. When they gave me the microphone I said, "This is a question for Nicky Hayden…" Nicky, until that moment, was looking down in his lap. I don't know if he was playing with his phone but upon hearing his name, he started, lifted his head, and listened. I said, "Nicky. My daughter, who is 14 years old, and who you already know, is in love with you, and knowing that I would see you, she asked me to ask you two questions. One, if you have a girlfriend, and two, if you like Spanish girls?"
Well, well, well…You can imagine the general laughter. The connoisseurs asking the greatest of the greats, Valentino Rossi, about technique, forecasts and expectations for the championship, and some nut comes in and presents these questions to Nicky Hayden. Nicky, of course, answered the two questions, but the atmosphere had gone from tedium to general commotion, so that was the end of the presentation.
"Thank you for giving me the flag, I only have this to give you…", Nicky Hayden
Years later in 2006, Nicky Hayden, who at that time was a candidate for the championship and who had Valentino on an opposing team (Nicky's teammate at Honda Repsol was Dani Pedrosa at this time), returned to win again at Laguna Seca. And I say he won again because he had already won there in 2005. Following the post-race press conference, I approached Nicky and, opening my backpack, showed him a pristine American flag and told him: "Nicky: here you had 25,000 people wanting to give you an American flag for winning the race. Starting today, this flag will come with me to every race, and I will give it to you the day you win the World Championship." Nicky smiled, something normal in him, and thanked me for the confidence I had in him.
A few months later and after the fiasco with Dani Pedrosa in Estoril, I kept my bets on Nicky Hayden. I showed up in Cheste with my American flag in my backpack. Valentino Rossi was leading the last GP and the people in one of my "houses" (La Cadena Cope…the other was Solo Moto), would laugh their asses off at me because I was still betting on Nicky Hayden as champion. José Antonio Abellán said that my choice was more based on the friendship my daughter Sara had with Nicky than the objectivity of a journalist who should know something of this. And although my confidence was hard to explain, I had my arguments.
I went, as always, to see the race on the track. That time I went with my friend Vicente, a Galician phenomenon and good friend of Alex Crivillé who is crazy about motorcycles. He and I were rooting for Nicky. I carried the American flag in my backpack and, before leaving for the track, I passed through the Repsol box and asked for a roll of duct tape and, by chance, I stole the stick from a broom! One of those hard plastic sticks that screws into the head of the brush.
Out of respect if not superstition as well, I didn't mount the flag on the stick until the last lap. As you know, Valentino had crashed in the first few laps, but I'm not one who anticipates a victory ahead of time. As he entered the last lap, shaking with nervousness, I took the flag out of the backpack and asked Vincent for help to tape it to the stolen Honda Repsol broom stick.
We were on the little straight between turn –the left at the end of front straight—and the next left, turn 2. As I had some "experience" in doing what I was about to do (I had already given the Spanish flag to Dani Pedrosa the three times he became World Champion, and also to Alvaro Bautista), I identified and asked the marshall for permission to enter the track. And there was Nicky, already World Champion. He saw me. He stopped. We hugged each other and I gave him the flag. Nicky was crying like a little boy. And so was I.
"I have no other wish, no other emotional need, than to get it Nicky's family".
A little later after the Press Conference, I approached Nicky and we hugged each other. After thanking me for the flag he said: "I only have this to give you…" And he gave me a small white towel with Circuito de Cheste printed on it, one he had been drying sweat off with during the press conference.
During the chaotic and ungoverned moments after the press conference, which occur after someone becomes World Champion, I talked to Tommy Lee, one of Nicky's brothers. I explained that I was the one who had given Nicky the American flag wanted to get it back. Between the parc ferme and the press room, the flag had been left somewhere. Tommy Lee said, "I'll get it for you." He found it and brought it back to me. I still have it, and right now I have no other wish, no other emotional need, than to get it Nicky's family. If it were possible, I would go to Owensboro myself and give it to them personally.
And speaking of flags, Owensboro Mayor Tom Watson has just ordered the flags in Nicky Hayden's hometown of about 60,000 to fly at half-mast until further notice. My own flag, that of friendship, of emotion, of the sorrow that I feel, of admiration for an authentic person, the flag I raised to support a down to earth star will wave at half-mast for Nicky Hayden until my memory, if it ever fails me; begin to erase the memory of someone as endearing and unforgettable as Nicky. The other flag, the one I gave him in Cheste, will be wherever his family is.
At difficult times like these, emotions surface and get mixed. I can never forget that whenever I went to the circuit at Philip Island in Australia, I would visit a beach near the track where there is a moving sign memorializing someone who died there. That heartfelt sign finishes with a wish: "Fly High."… Fly High, Nicky Hayden.

Mark C. Miller, professor of political science and director of the law and society program at Clark University, wrote a recent article for The Hill. In it, he discussed how voters are paying special attention to this year's presidential election because it will shape the future U.S. Supreme Court.
Here, an excerpt:
"This year's elections are different in many ways, among them the fact that our new president and Senate may have a potentially historic opportunity to reshape the Supreme Court. American voters care more than usual about the U.S. Supreme Court this election cycle, with good reason. Here's what's at stake for the Supreme Court with the upcoming election: The next U.S. president — either Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton or Republican nominee Donald Trump — may hold the power to fill the seat left vacant when Justice Antonin Scalia died suddenly earlier this year. ...
"With the noise of the election only growing louder as we march toward November, the issue of judicial appointments will remain a key deciding factor for voters as they deliberate their ballot choices this fall."

Program, new hardware benefits of Joy of the Gospel grant
WESTON (SNR) – First-graders at St. John Nepomucene School in Weston recently showcased for their parents some of their new educational adventures.
The first-graders, as well as other grades at St. John, have been working on computer coding and programming skills with new iPads provided by the Diocesan Education Technology Office.
The robots can be programmed from the iPad to perform specific tasks. The first-graders programmed the robots to move to a picture of a saint, while they shared a few facts in the saint's story.
St. John School and St. Wenceslaus School in Wahoo both applied for a grant from the Joy of the Gospel campaign's Flavin Fund to purchase the robotics program and curriculum for their students.
Students also participate in a robotics club for grades 5-12 with Bishop Neumann High School in Wahoo. The club and the grade school robotics program were a part of the Saunders Catholic Schools' strategic plan created in 2015. Many parents, volunteers and staff, as well as generous donors and grants, helped make the vision a successful program.
Saunders Catholic Schools serve students and families from St. Joseph Parish in Colon, St. Mary in Davey, St. James in Mead, Ss. Cyril and Methodius in Plasi, St. John in Prague, St. Vitus in Touhy, Ss. Mary and Joseph in Valparaiso, St. Wenceslaus in Wahoo and St. John in Weston.

Welcome to Willo
West of 1st Avenue to 7th Ave, bounded by Thomas Road to the north and Mcdowell Road to the south Willo Historic District is the perfect place for downtown living. Willo houses are the homes people dream of. From Bungalows, to Spanish Colonials and prime examples of homes from the 1920s and 1930s. Because of the old age of these homes, they may not seem convenient for those in need of garages and walk-in closets. The charm of these homes, however, seem to make up for the lake of modernization. Homes start around $300,000 and go up to over $800,000 so who wouldn't dream of these houses? The neighborhood is funded by The Willo Histioric Home Tour which funds the neighborhoods special events including movie night and the Willo Yard Sale.
The Willo Historic Home Tour runs on the Sunday before Valentine's Day from 9am-12pm and invites visitors and other residents to about a dozen of the historic homes in the neighborhood. The tour is said to hold some of Phoenix's most beautiful Ranch, Spanish, Bungalow, and Tudor style homes. Tickets run for less than $20, what a deal for such a historic journey!
There are three light rail stops close by the Willo neighborhood, making the area extremely accessible and a convenient location. How many homes in the Phoenix area still have basements? Well that's one characteristic that makes these homes rather one-of-a-kind. Many homes also have guest homes so residents can have their privacy as well as their lucky visitors. Both of these unique elements are a result of the homes being built in the 1920s and 1930s, leading them into the beautiful Willo Historic District it is today.
PERFECT FORThe homeowner enthusiast. Not that other people don't love their homes, its just that Willo owners really care for these homes as if they were their children.
NOT SO PERFECT FORThe home investor, unless you can spend some sweat equity, these homes are a labor of love.
THE LIFESTYLEWillo owners can be compared to high end historic car collectors. They LOVE their homes like no other and can spend hours swapping stories about their homes histories, challenges, and personalities.
THE MARKETTudors, Bungalows, and Spanish Colonials ranging from high $200's (needing work) to perfectly maintained homes in the $600's
YOU'LL FALL IN LOVE WITHThe peacefulness of the old neighborhood and the way that these homes are timeless and yet, so much can be creatively done with them so that they never get "old."
The Willo Historic District is divided into two parts, between Encanto Blvd. and McDowell and between Thomas Road and Encanto Blvd. J.P. Holcomb used a Homestead Patent in 1878 to purchase the are between Encanto Blvd. and McDowell. And in 1886 the area between Thomas Road and Encanto Blvd was purchased through a Timber Culture Land Patent.
Willo is one of Phoenix's largest historic neighborhoods with over 700 houses developed and seventeen subdivisions. Around the time each subdivision was constructed expresses the architectural trends of the area. Primarily between 1886 and 1910 the land was used for agricultural purposes then in the early 1900s four subdivisions were established each that had home sites with long skinny lots. The residential construction firm, Home Builders, started constructing new homes with the Bungalow style in the early 1920s. Along with the rest of the West, the town experienced a huge growth through the mid and late 1920s resulting in the expansion of the Willo area.
During the N. Kenilworth and Broadmor subdivisions, model homes were built in the area in the late 1920s with high standards set for the residential area's construction. During this time the "Spanish Rancho Home" style was brought to the area and was included as one of these "model homes". The "Spanish Rancho Home"'s design interprets the Spanish Style from the mid to late 1920s. And then by the early 1930s other historical styles were interpreted into the home designs. Eventually Ranch and Tudor style homes would be incorporated within the area.

Important messages regarding DACA and immigration from USC President C. L. Max Nikias and USC Provost Michael Quick
September 4, 2017
Below are a letter from USC President C. L. Max Nikias, along with memoranda from USC Provost Michael Quick, recently sent to students, faculty, staff and USC commuity. These communications address issues regarding federal policy concerning immigration, naturalization and Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA).
Letter from USC President C. L. Max Nikias to the USC community – Sept. 4, 2017; full text available below
Memorandum from USC Provost Michael Quick to USC students, faculty, staff and community regarding citizenship naturalization services available on campus – Aug. 31, 2017
Memorandum from USC Provost Michael Quick to USC students, faculty, staff and USC community about DACA resources available on campus – Aug. 28, 2017
Text from Sept. 4, 2017, letter from USC President C. L. Max Nikias:
Dear USC community,
As we monitor potential changes to the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, I am writing today to reinforce our full support for the members of our university community. This has been a difficult time for our nation and our campus as we collectively struggle with issues of diversity, inclusion, and citizenship. But we will continue to live by our shared values, ideals, and aspirations, as enshrined in our Principles of Community, to support everyone in our Trojan Family, regardless of immigration status or national origin.
As president of one of the most global and diverse university communities in the world, I am deeply concerned about the adverse impact that potential DACA changes might have on our DACA and undocumented students. We are enriched every day by the presence and contributions of our students from all backgrounds in our classrooms, labs, residence halls, and campuses. It is crucial to our mission that we continue to support and protect our students' ability to finish their degrees and our faculty and staff's ability to teach, conduct research, and work at our university.
To that end, as a member of the executive committee of the Association of American Universities, I continue to advocate alongside the presidents of our peer research universities to strongly urge the White House and Congress to find a pathway that will allow all students to finish their education in the United States. We will actively engage with our California Congressional delegation, and other elected officials, to protect our students.
Last week, Provost Michael Quick issued a university memo that articulated our university's commitment, policies, and procedures regarding the DACA program. Let me reiterate a few of those here. Student records are not disseminated without student consent or a judicial order. Law enforcement authorities must present appropriate judicial warrants prior to assisting them in contacting anyone in our community. The university's Department of Public Safety continues to follow the procedures of the Los Angeles Police Department, which does not initiate law enforcement activities based solely on immigration status.
In addition, we are committed to continuing to work closely with all of our students to ensure that we are meeting their financial and academic needs, particularly those needs that might arise from changes in DACA. We will continue to provide free, confidential legal advice and consultation, as well as legal support for naturalization, through our Immigration Clinic at the USC Gould School of Law. We will continue to follow suggestions of the Provost's Advisory Task Force and Deans' Steering Committee on immigration issues.
Let me end by saying that these issues touch me personally. My wife and I came to the United States to pursue the dream of a better life through better education. Consequently, as naturalized citizens, we know firsthand the foundational role that higher education plays in empowering and enabling us all to succeed and flourish, both personally and professionally. If it weren't for the opportunities that our education gave us, we would not be here as your president and first lady, supporting all of you in our Trojan Family. Every individual deserves these same opportunities, and I am committed to ensuring the success and well-being of all members of our community so that the University of Southern California remains a global beacon of possibility, creativity, and compassion.
C. L. Max Nikias
USC President
