Submission Theory
In this document, I, the author, have written 'the submission theory'; a conspiracy theory, but also a scientific and philosophical theory.
The document will be split into partitions with numerous chapters in each partition.
Humanity has been forced into submission by false academia and Governments, to varying degrees. Some aspects of ourselves are at liberty, but some other aspects are not.
The submission theory is an analysis of the submission of mankind to academia and Governments.
The Science of 'The Submission Theory'.
Humans have been educated an incorrect numeric system and therefore conduct false mathematics. The number 1 is symbolic of a single point; of which, are non-existent.
"I have one apple".
The 'one' apple that was claimed is not a single point, and therefore is not 'one' apple. The apple Is above 1.
A further analysis of the falsity of 'one apple', proof that the apple is not a single point...
The apple isn't void of other existence, there is always that which is external to it, otherwise the apple wouldn't exist.
The apple can be sensed from a number of angles dependant on the observer.
The apple had come from an apple tree, it has it's own lineage.
To conclude the 'one apple example'; proof that the apple is not a single point has been presented, and the apple is above 1.
The proper apple, is of the numeric value 4, void of the number 1, and following is an explanation...
A square has 4 corners, there is no 1 corner in a square " to claim 1 corner is to reduce a square to 1 corner of a square.
A square has a face, equal to it's corners. The face of a square equals 4.
The symbol of "4", in it's current state, is equal to 1. Therefore, we cannot understand 4, because we use false symbols. We were educated to work with the number 1, and this education does not allow us to understand a number 4 that's void of the number 1.
What you may refer to as 'one apple', is truthfully of the number 4. It may be difficult for most humans to understand, for they are influenced by the numeric value 1.
The apple of the numeric value 4, described in the square example, has four extremes; to perceive the apple's side completely requires four angles of perception. It requires four angles of perception to perceive the top and bottom, or 'polar', of the apple.
The apple's polar are two sets of four extremes. The side of the apple is extended to the polar.
The polar sets are perceived by two full tilts relative to a neutral side perception, or rotation around a semi-tilt through the neutral side set. A single, or hybrid set, can be perceived at a time.
At any given time a face set is perceived, composed of polar and side. In other words, an angle of perception is perception of a full set.
Face sets, side sets, polar sets and hybrid sets, all equate 4. Again, 4 that's void of 1.
The apple itself is cubic, a cube composed of a complex of the numeric value 4. The polar, side, face and hybrid sets together form a cube and not a square.
To be continued.
Please consider more of the evidence of logic outlined in the original post, please present this proof.
My opponents theory is flawed because we all know how many faces a dice has. Six. Whereas here my opponent claims that a sphere only has four. But a sphere is technically a round square and a sphere should have six faces if my opponents logic on perception is counted. Therefore I have proven that my opponents theory is flawed. Then my opponent claims that since his theory is right saying "I have one sphere" is actually like saying he has more than one sphere. That is not true. Although the faces of a sphere by my opponents logic should be six, that does not mean you have more spheres. Have means that you possess something. And object that is tangible and real. Therefore you cannot have more than one sphere if all you have is one sphere. You can have more faces than one on a sphere but saying you have one sphere is does not mean you have two spheres.
Now I shall preposes that 1 is equal to 10. 1 has the quantity of one. 0 has the quantity of zero. Therefore put together there is only two ones on either side of the equation. The quantity on either side is one considering that the quantity of zero is nothing. That was through an equation.
Now I shall prove it though exponents. 1 is still the quantity of one. Therefore 10 to the power of zero is equal to one.
I have proved that 1 is equal to 10.
Sense is superior to knowledge, but resolve is superior to sense, which is a combination of knowledge and experience. Knowledge is understanding of 4 mathematics, sense is our true ego, and resolve is a hybrid. The sky had allowed the three, and the four create one set.
When you claim our sensory ability is lesser than evidence it's false.
There are 4 sides and 2 polar relative to a neutral side perception {i.e. if you're looking at the face of a cube, a distinct top and bottom are observed}. The fact that they look the same doesn't mean that they are the same, it's the sense of it that has this effect; and it is worthy.
Metaphors such as, the mind is like a more advanced star, and the heart a more advanced Earth " are true.
Eyes are part of a stars and planets family, the light of stars give the effect of perception " humans are more advanced than stars and planets, their perceptions are the light, but to some degree are beyond it. Your perceptive ability evolved because it was heavily influence by light.
Then my opponent tried to say that actually a cube has six faces instead of four. But my opponents logic before stated that a sphere has only four faces. Like I said before a sphere is a circular square. And if by that logic then a cube would have four faces is what my opponent said before. But we all know that a cube has six faces.
By my opponents logic I have one dollar. Technically since it is a 3D shape it can be perceived at different angles. Therefore it, by my opponents logic is actually four dollars. Now I will try and by a four dollar drink with my dollar. It will not work. Therefore the theory does not work.
Then my opponent says that senses are more absolute than fact. So say that I sense with my ears that Taylor Swift music is being played on a gramophone when it is actually Adele. You see here that senses can be wrong whereas facts are not wrong because facts have already been proven to be right.
The my opponent says that metaphors like a mind is like a star are true. Technically that isn't a metaphor it would be simile. I too could say that the mind is like a data chip and the heart is a battery.
A cube has a polar, or top and bottom, and a side (front and back; left and right). This is simple. Relative to our perception there are four what I claim to be side, and two of what I claim to be polar.
You abstract tilt with rotation, or vice versa, and make neutral the complex-opposite-process of side and polar (the logic makes the claim). One side is a side for there are three other similar - one polar has only one other similar, that which is opposite to it.
The two-polar sector and, and four-side sector, represent 'pole' and 'rotate' logic; polar sector is less significant, side sector is more significant. The simplest format of polar is a pole and of side is a equator. The pole and equator are in harmony in this universe, they are cubic-opposite as I explained prior. To achieve harmony the equator rotates around the pole,a process of opposite ends of rotation, masculine and feminine.
The rest of your arguments are mere puns and do express logic as cleanly as cubic logic.
Senses are more absolute than evidence; as a commenter mentioned in the comments, we can disagree or agree with evidence {i.e. we are above it if we want to be}. Sense is above knowledge, that is saying, knowledge is below sense; that doesn't mean sense is without knowledge. It is our advancement from the past to our current self.
You must sense evidence before you can know it, it cannot be presented to you if you have no sense. When you see evidence, you have the choice to accept it or deny it. Intelligence is the functionality of choosing correctly., we are intelligent if we work with the numeric value 4, correct mathematics that surpasses incorrect mathematics. We are unintelligent to work with the numeric value 1, since all of 1 mathematics is encompassed in 4 mathematics, plus more.
Sense is above evidence for 4 mathematics is true mathematics. We are evolutionary, we have evolved from, inter alia, stars - we can find evidence for stars; however, our species is above the stars. The pressures of the universe shaped us, we became beings from what had come, and stars came prior to humans. In this universe, our minds are above stars, but related and opposite.

puke, on the wall, infensifying..
You are this shape! You are cubic, this is how you're perceived. Your beauty.
The difference of intelligences is a matter of pure understanding, as light as a feather, as worthy as the eagle.
"To conclude this chapter" - wit at it's finest.
You have enforced a sexual fantasy with word.
You have not disproven cubic logic, and your dismissal is based on prior knowledge that if you presented would easily be contradicted.
You don't present this knowledge? Then what you refer to with your post is yourself, your feelings and your, what is to be considered, fantasy. We are forced to submit to your fantasy argument for 1 mathematics - in time we will appear no different, making nonsensical comments like you, unless we resist.
People laughing, people insulting, people misbehaving; all of this is a product of the accepted perverse behaviour when considering the abstract.
You now, are no different from a criminal! And no, I do not like it.

Together we succeed
As a service to assist parents with the cost of educational resources, the College operates a Student Resource Scheme.
The Student Resource Scheme is a cost effective option for parents to purchase the required items for their child's schooling, through reduced prices gained from the school's bulk purchasing processes. Items required include textbooks, resources, software programs, photocopying, consumables and materials.
The College will purchase these items on your behalf, saving you money and time.
Some specialised subjects and Academy programs will also incur an additional levy that is not covered by the Student Resource Scheme. These must be paid in full prior to being placed in a class. This will apply to each semester.
Please be aware that if parents choose NOT to enter the Student Resource Scheme, (by selecting 'NO' or not returning the agreement) they will need to purchase all of the items listed for the relevant year level.
Please note that the State Government Policy States: A parent is directly responsible for providing the student with textbooks and other resources for a student's use while attending school. For more information refer to the Student Resource Scheme Policy located on the Department of Education, Training and Employment Policy and Procedure Register.

Health and energy from Gastein's mountainsThe perfect interplay of radon, heat and humidity makes the Gastein radon galleries the most effective natural remedy for the treatment of rheumatic diseases. 2 kilometres from the light of day it is pleasantly warm at 37 to 41.5 Grad, there is high humidity of between 70 and 100 percent with a raised natural radon content in the air. Long lasting pain relief and a saving on medication are the main benefits for the galleries' guests. The success rate lies at approximately 90 percent.
The worldwide unique climate in the Gastein radon galleries activates the cells' repair systems. Chemical messengers are triggered promoting healing and preventing inflammation. An immunological balance comes into being. As well as relieving pain, the therapy is also excellendly suited for maintaining health and immuno-prophylaxis.

As if last nights game in Philadelphia wasn't enough for Penguins fans, the bad news just keeps on coming. Marc-Andre Fleury, who left 5 minutes into a game against Calgary on December 5th, will miss 6-8 weeks with a high ankle sprain.
It seems as if goaltending has been a constant issue this season. Fleury struggled early in the season, but he had just seemed to turn things around before the injury. Responsibility will fall on the shoulders of backup Dany Sabourin.
This will probably only act as fuel on the fire that has been trade rumors involving Pittsburgh and goaltenders.
At the same time, it appears like Maxime Talbot's high ankle sprain is worse than expected, and he will most likely miss the next 2-4 weeks.
With injuries mounting, the Penguins will have to buckle down and try to make it to the January all-star break. If not, and they struggle, Ray Shero might be forced to act via trades.

And how would you go about that? You have no choice, do you? Is there anything that states that voting is based on technical merits? I don't think so.

Isn't it to survive their initial developers, to provide a mechanism through which a merit-based community can grow? I think that Peter demonstrated some serious issues, and we should address them.

This Week in Ladybits
Information Is Beautiful had a great big feature on the safety on the HPV vaccine. Spoiler: Michele Bachmann is not coming out on top of this one.
Were you worried that no state was going to pass a spectacularly cruel law this week? Put your mind at ease — Michigan has you covered. Thanks to a new law, women in Michigan are essentially going to have to pay for separate rape insurance if they want their insurance policies to cover an abortion in the event that they are attacked. Laura Conaway of The Rachel Maddow Show breaks it down for you.
Need to take a break from rage-throwing furniture around and laugh for a minute? Feministing pointed the way to this handy guide for Republican men on how to talk to those surprisingly confusing and touchy ladies. Why do I have the feeling that the actual GOP tutorials on talking to women are a lot like this?
This Week in Ugh
The Bode Miller paternity case is getting astonishingly creepy.
I am grateful to and annoyed with Wonkette for alerting me to the fact that anti-gay dark legend Phyllis Schlafly's niece, Suzanne Venker, is also bringing the blerg. She wants us to know that ladies should learn to have rich and fulfilling lives by the simple trick not ever having careers, which never makes anyone sink into depression or suddenly rise up one day when the Santa Anas are blowing and stab one's spouse right in the neck.
There are, of course, one or two problems with Venker's logic, like how "just have a man take care of you" is tricky when both people in the relationship are ladies. Please do write to Suzanne Venker directly if you need to resolve disputes about who is more butch in your relationship and who is more femme. I'm sure she'd be glad to help.
The other wee problem with Venker's thesis is that it is a complete pile of cowflops. When someone wonders if women "should" have careers, that really means "middle-to-upper-class women," who are the ones who have the luxury of being made to worry every day that they are ruining everything by working. Poor women have had to work since, oh, lets see, forever, so can we please drop this nonsense at least until we address working poverty first? (p.s. Mom, I always thought you were a bad-ass career woman, and a GREAT example for me.)
Oh, and speaking of the working poor, nearly 2.3 million women earned the minimum wage ($7.25 an hour) or less last year, compared to about 1.2 million men. So, yes, the debate over raising the federal minimum wage is a feminist issue too.
This Week in Thinky
Amanda Hess discussed the experience of reading the canon of "midcentury misogynists" Slate's XX.
Policy Mic picked its 28 Most Iconic Feminist Moments of the year. Universal crushes Jennifer Lawrence, Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, and Beyoncé are at the top, but you'll also get treats like this exhilarating clip of Indian actress Mallika Sherawat standing by her well informed outrage. I love it that Not Having It turns out to be another universal language.
OK, I know it's an ad, but, damn, Pantene Philippines, well played.
(Via Adweek)
Want to stomp all over the gender pay gap? Your best bet is to choose a high-pay-track major (STEM or business) over an elite school. (Via Gawker)
This Week in Terrible
Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah) has introduced legislation to allow churches, businesses, non-profit institutions, and even individuals to discriminate against people in the LGBT community for "religious reasons." And, really, that means they could discriminate against anyone who behaves in ways they don't like. Because if if there's one thing that unites the great spiritual leaders of all ages, it's a rigid insistence on dividing and punishing people.
Australia's High Court has overturned a new, brief law that allowed same-sex marriages. The marriages that took place during the few days before the law was overturned will be annulled, which seems astonishingly cruel. I'm so sorry Aussies. Stay strong. In an interesting note of hope, it looks like the Court's decision might actually allow for some marriage equality gains in the long run. (Watch for autoplaying video on that one, and thanks to @WicalBNE for the link.)
And stay strong, Indians—India re-instated a ban on gay sex this week. "Unnatural" sex can now lead to a 10-year jail sentence.
The Washington Post ran a map of the countries that criminalize homsexuality now. (Though I'm not sure how Russia is getting away with that neutral gray.)
This Week in Entertainment
The late Roger Ebert's web page featured a week of reviews and commentary exclusively by women. Chaz Ebertexplained why she wanted to try focusing on a feminine point of view for a week.
Whoa. It isn't a perfect diversity solution, but at least they're listening. SNL held an audition just for black female performers last week.
Alert correspondent Brangien drew my attention to two books that may be of interest. The first is a graphic novel called Woman Rebel: The Margaret Sanger Story.
Image via Drawn and Quarterly
The next book is one you can't have yet. For Today I Am a Boy by Kim Fu is about a young transwoman and the early word is that it's amazing. Put it on your list for January.
The Hollywood Reporter ran its "Women in Entertainment Power 100" list.
And Geena Davis told us how to make Hollywood less sexist in two easy steps.
This Week in Awesome
Computer scientist Grace Hopper got herself a Google Doodle this week! Slate ran this terrific clip of her zinging David Letterman in honor of what would have been her 107th birthday.
The Russian equivalent of the Supreme Court will be reviewing the cases of two of the members of Pussy Riot. It looks like an early release is a real possibility.
Comedian Rob Delaney explained why even big, hairy alpha males should be feminists.
BuzzFeed reminded us of 19 flawless pieces of advice from Amy Poehler. And from just the past year!

Lidia Yuknavitch
Award-winning author of The Small Backs of Children and The Chronology of Water.

About Lidia Yuknavitch
Lidia Yuknavitch is a writer best known for her award-winning novel, The Small Backs of Children, and the acclaimed memoir The Chronology of Water, a searing story of surviving and learning to live with a traumatic past. Fleeing from a lifetime of childhood abuse into the world of swimming, Yuknavitch received an athletic scholarship for the sport and rejoiced at the opportunity to leave her home once and for all. Unable to escape her demons, she found her future as a competitive swimmer jeopardized by her growing addictions. After dropping out of college, she relocated to Oregon where she embarked on an even more disastrous course of self-destruction, marked by failing out of college once more, divorcing twice, and multiple incarcerations. After the loss of her newborn child, she found herself homeless, living under an overpass. In spite of this, Yuknavitch pursued her dream of becoming a writer, and found there was strength in being a "misfit."
Most recently, Yuknavitch ignited the literary world with the publication of The Book Of Joan, which garnered universal praise from respected outlets such as the New York Times and The Los Angeles Review of Books. A revelatory work that uses a dystopian world to deliver stark commentary on contemporary life, The Book of Joan cemented Lidia's place as one of the most daring writers working today.
In 2016, Yuknavitch delivered an acclaimed TED Talk entitled "The Beauty of Being a Misfit", which has received over 2 million views to date. Drawing on a lifetime of not fitting in, she assured audiences that to identify as a misfit is to possess the possibility of endless reinvention in moments of failure. She believes as long as misfits continue to tell their stories, they will be able to give voice to something beautiful. Yuknavitch continues to seek this beauty in both her writing and speaking. Her forthcoming book, The Misfit's Manifesto, expands upon this credo and inspires audiences to embrace the beauty that they too can find in the moments where they don't fit in.
Lidia Yuknavitch is also the author of The Book of Joan, Dora: A Headcase, and Allegories of Violence, a critical book on war and narrative. Her novel The Small Backs of Children was winner of the 2016 Oregon Book Award's Ken Kesey Award for Fiction as well as the Reader's Choice Award. Her memoir, The Chronology of Water, was winner of a PNBA Award and the Oregon Book Award Reader's Choice. In addition to her books, Yuknavitch's writing has appeared in numerous publications, including Guernica Magazine, Ms., The Iowa Review, and The Rumpus. She is also founder of Corporeal Writing, a workshop series in her longtime residence of Portland, Oregon.
Speaking Topics
The Beauty of Being a Misfit
How can someone be both a success and a failure? While an acclaimed writer today, Lidia Yuknavitch spent much of her life feeling as though her early failures and bad choices had marked her for life. Struggling with her self-identification as a "misfit," she battled with divorce, homelessness, and two stays in jail—and once she achieved some success, impostor syndrome. In this inspiring lecture, Yuknavitch breaks open the "misfit's myth" and Lidia opens her audiences to the redeeming power of reinvention.
Praise for Lidia Yuknavitch
Praise for Dora: A Headcase
Dora: A Headcase is first and foremost an irreverent portrait of a smart seventeen year old trying to survive. It channels Sigmund Freud and his young patient Dora and is both a hilarious critique and an oddly touching homage. With an unerring ear and a very keen eye, Lidia Yuknavitch casts a very special slant of light on our centuries and our lives. Put simply, the book is needed.— Carole Maso, author of Defiance and The Art Lover
Dora is too much for Sigmund Freud but she's just right for us—raunchy, sharp and so funny it hurts.— Chuck Palahniuk, author of Damned
Dora is too much for Sigmund Freud but she's just right for us—raunchy, sharp and so funny it hurts.— Katherine Dunn, author of Geek Love
Praise for The Small Backs of Children
Lidia Yuknavitch' s explosive new novel…is fierce in its vision, with captivating prose that carries its own momentum. Yuknavitch has created a reading experience that is uncomfortable and dazzling, with a vital intensity that grabs at the gutstrings.— The Los Angeles Times
Lidia Yuknavitch's writing is a sizzle wire. Her fierce prose will jumpstart your heart and electrify your brain…and her new novel, The Small Backs of Children is a provocative and thrilling jolt of a book.— Bustle
Yuknavitch has emerged as a trailblazing literary voice that spans genres and dives deep into themes of gender, sexuality, art, violence, and transcendence.— Suleika Jaouad, Lenny Letter
I have never felt so wrung out by a novel and yet simultaneously invigorated…a terrifically good novel and powerfully written."— Paris Review
Praise for The Chronology of Water: A Memoir
I'm also convinced that this bold and highly unconventional book – hot, gritty, unrelenting in its push to dismantle the self and then, somehow, put the self back together again – gets not just under a reader's skin but seeps all the way into her bloodstream.— Publishers Weekly
This intensely powerful memoir touches depths yet unheard of in contemporary writing. I read it at one sitting and wondered for days after about love, time, and truth. Can't get me any more excited than this.— Andrei Codrescu, author of The Poetry Lesson
Lidia Yuknavitch is my favorite new writer…It's so genius I'm not quite sure how she did it. The tone is a combination of high and low, with some of the writing literary and metaphorical, some conversational and shock-jockey, all of it fueled by rage and pain and love and art and transformation.— Claire Dederer, The Atlantic
I've read Ms. Yuknavitch's book The Chronology of Water, cover to cover, a dozen times. I am still reading it. And I will, most likely, return to it for inspiration and ideas, and out of sheer admiration, for the rest of my life. The book is extraordinary.— Chuck Palahniuk, Pygmy
Praise for The Book of Joan
Joan [of Arc] offers herself as the perfect figure for Yuknavitch's new novel. Translated into a dystopian future, this New Joan of Dirt serves as emblem for all the stalwart commoners in whose crushing defeat lies a kind of inviolate spiritual victory. . . . [The Book of Joan] offers a wealth of pathos, with plenty of resonant excruciations and some disturbing meditations on humanity's place in creation . . . [It] concludes in a bold and satisfying apotheosis like some legend out of The Golden Bough and reaffirms that even amid utter devastation and ruin, hope can still blossom.— Washington Post
While delivering an entirely new world and also putting forth a powerful treatise on the way we live now, The Book of Joan is one of those dystopian novels that you can't help thinking might be too eerily real to be just fiction.— Newsweek
Riveting, ravishing, and crazy deep, The Book of Joan is as ferociously intelligent as it is heart-wrenchingly humane, as generous as it is relentless, as irresistible as it is important. In other words, it's classic Lidia Yuknavitch: genius." — Cheryl Strayed, New York Times bestselling author of Wild— Cheryl Strayed, New York Times bestselling author of Wild
[A] searing fusion of literary fiction and reimagined history and science-fiction thriller and eco-fantasy...Yuknavitch is a bold and ecstatic writer, wallowing in sex and filth and decay and violence and nature and love with equal relish.— NPR Books
Brilliant and incendiary. . . . Radically new, full of maniacal invention and page-turning momentum. . . .Yuknavitch has exhibited a rare gift for writing that concedes little in its quest to be authentic, meaningful and relevant. By adding speculative elements to The Book of Joan, she reaches new heights with even higher stakes: the death or life of our planet.— Jeff VanderMeer, New York Times Book Review (cover review)

Sleep is one of the most essential biological cycles in our body that determines the number of actions in our body. In today's world, numerous people are not in a position to get great sleep most of the time. There are numerous factors behind this, but there ought to never be a purpose that an individual is not in a position to discover a great place for sleeping. This is so since it can have the worst influence in the wellbeing situation of an individual. Mattress can be accused in this element since it is the place where an individual feels that it comfy to sleep. Mattress are of different kinds and functions, where most of them includes a fixed size and position that will not get altered in accordance using the position of an individual sleeping on them. When this is the situation, it may trigger some issues to the wellbeing of an individual in the following method:
- Altering the all-natural sleep position
- Making a unpleasant sensation when lying in bed inside a same position to get a long time
- Making discomfort following some months of utilization
- Mattress foam getting exposed out of the base.
Memory foam for pleasant sleep
The conventional idea of ablackfridaymattress ratedmattress is now gone to the prior generation, since it grew to become failure for a number of elements. The trend now is to use a memory foam mattress that can in a position to offer some benefits to get an individual. The concept behind this memory foam is that an individual should in a position to sleep in what ever position they preferred to sleep in the mattress. Once an individual sleep on this mattress, it will modify its position in accordance using the orientation of an individual. This does the magic of supplying a relieving sensation to get a individual since the bed will be supplying room for comfy position of our body on mattress, therefore supplying a feel that an individual is floating in air. This mattress is made out of polyurethane foam that guarantees the position is being mimicked precisely where it can retain this to get a long period of time.
Impact of cooling in bed
There is another new entry in the sleepjunkie memory mattress which makes certain of the fact that our body temperature is being absorbed in the bed. This is feasible using the assist of cooling memory foam mattress, which can soak up the body heat whilst we are sleeping and making certain the fact that our body doesn't more than heat whilst we are sleeping. When sleeping to get a long period of time in a single position, due to the lack of air ventilation in the surface of bed, portion of our body will get heated relative to the orientation in the mattress. Now there are cooling memory foam mattress available that have a tendency to soak up the heat by conducting the surface heat to the beneath of the mattress using the assist of locking gels, which can in a position to soak up the precisely in the upper surface and store it in the form of heat packets which will be liberated to the bottom of mattress. The heat that is being sent out of the mattress will never retain because it is in the mattress to produce heat following some period. The heat will be sent out totally since the level of heat of our body will not be that a lot higher.

Maintenance and Care
Other than occasional cleaning with soap and water, very little maintenance is required for Origins panels. Abrasive cleaners and cleaning pads should be avoided. Food preparation such as cutting or grating should be done on a cutting board and a trivet or hot pad should be used to protect the surface from hot containers. The surface should be kept free of abrasive materials such as sugar, salt and sand. Avoid sliding heavy objects across the counter top. These should have rubber feet or other protection for the surface. Origins is embossed with a texture at the factory to minimize minor scratching, however usage will eventually cause some scratches to develop.
Some scratches may be partially healed by applying pressure with a hard, smooth object such as a spoon and rubbing with the direction of the scratch. A deeper scratch can be removed by sanding, however this will change the sheen of the surface. Thus, the entire surface would need the same amount of sanding to match. Coatings such as silicone or floor sealer may work for hiding minor scratches. A test should always be conducted on a small piece of the material before applying it to the entire top. See Origins Fabrication for additional repair information.

Modern Sound for a Classic Car
Spring is in the air, and lots of people are starting to take out their classic cars for some time in the spotlight! One of our customers recently restored his 1986 Chevy Monte Carlo into immaculate condition. The only thing missing was a modernized car stereo, so he came to P.C. Richard & Son. He went to our Lawrenceville Installation Center and spoke with Ernie, our mobile installer, to see what upgrades could be done.
An inspection of the vehicle revealed the car only had a cassette player, and the speakers were crackling and sounded muffled. The customer wanted modern features and satellite radio capabilities without any modifications to the dashboard, which would devalue the classic vehicle.
Ernie suggested the Alpine CDE-HD148BT car stereo for its sleek appearance and high-end features. It's equipped with an AM/FM plus HD Radio, a CD player, USB input, Bluetooth hands-free calling, and music streaming. It's satellite ready, so a SiriusXM tuner was added to receive satellite stations. He also found Kenwood speakers that were drop-in replacements for the factory speakers and wouldn't involve any modifications to make them fit.
The Installation
The installation began by removing the top dash grills to install the new 3 ½" Kenwood KFC835C coaxial speakers. Listening earlier indicated the speakers were in poor condition, but after they were removed, revealed severe deterioration.
Moving to the trunk, the rear supports were detached, dropping down the rear deck speakers. These were much larger 4" x 10" speakers and in similar shape as the front.
When deck and dash mounted speakers aren't made from the proper material and are exposed to direct sunlight, they disintegrate after a few years. Kenwood KFC415Cs speakers were installed in their place, which are built for many years of performance with impressive sound.
Next, the cassette deck was removed to make room for the Alpine radio and SXV300 SiriusXM tuner. The Alpine was wired up, the satellite tuner was mounted behind it, and slid into the factory location for a clean, seamless look.
The Results
Once the install was completed, it was time to show off the results. The new radio provides convenience and a powerful built-in amplifier to really push the Kenwood speakers.
The addition of HD Radio offers new stations on the FM dial that play diverse programming in crystal-clear digital sound. The SirusXM tuner supplies hundreds of stations with music genre-specific channels and talk radio programs. Hands-free calling adds smart phone connectivity and allows streaming of popular music apps such as Pandora and Spotify.
Looking for a mobile electronics upgrade?
Whether you want to protect your vehicle with a security system or add speakers for amazing sound, our P.C. Richard & Son Mobile Installation Centers will help you select the right system for your needs and provide the installation you require. We can hook you up with subwoofers, hands-free Bluetooth stereos, remote car starters, and tons of other electronics and vehicle accessories.

This is obviously not a fair fight. But the comparison is interesting as you get to see what the additional money buys you.
Two Red Raven Videos
We haven't been mentioning much about RED's products lately. They can be a bit expensive to kit out, but they're still cheaper than a lot of other options and they are known for good customer service. Here are two videos shot on the RED Raven:
4K Lens Test on RED Dragon
This 5 minute video compares a variety of lenses, including several more often seen in professional use, on a RED Dragon camera.
RED Raven versus URSA Mini 4.6K versus Kinefinity Terra 6K
Kinefinity has launched the Terra 6k and 5K models ($6000 for the 6K model or $9000 as a package with many accessories) with 15 stops of dynamic range or 13 stops when in global shutter mode. These cameras use standard SSD drives and produce RAW or ProRes footage.
David Peterson of IronFilm Productions has written up his thoughts about the new model as compared to its competitors: Speculation: RED Raven vs URSA Mini 4.6K vs Kinefinity Terra 6K
Thoughts on the RED Raven 4.5K versus the Blackmagic Ursa Mini 4.6K
You can save some money by going the Blackmagic route but both cameras are worth consideration. Both of these cameras take the image quality to the next level that in the right hands can hang in there with some much more expensive cameras.
10 Reasons Why the Blackmagic Ursa Mini 4.6K is Better than the Red Raven
10 Reasons Why the URSA Mini 4.6k is better than the Red Raven is the title of a thread posted to the bmcuser forum. Of course there is a bias towards Blackmagic at this forum but that does not necessarily make them wrong. This thread is worth a read for those debating between the URSA Mini 4.6K and the RED Raven.
We like both cameras but we wish a fully kitted-out RED cost less.
And in regards to the Ursa Mini 4K see this new article from Red Shark: The beauty of blur: Ursa Mini 4K & Canon 60mm 2.8 Macro
Rokinon / Samyang Lens Test on the RED Dragon at 6K
You do have to stop down for best performance, and 6K is a lot more demanding than 4K in terms of lens performance. Yet these lenses hold up stopped down showing once again they are a great value.
RED Epic Dragon Versus Arri Amira and Sony F3
An interesting comparison of 3 professional video cameras. Only the RED was shot at an ultra-high resolution in this test.

Richmond weighs regulations on short-term rental properties
The town is among several communities in the county, notably Lenox and Stockbridge, currently wrestling with or planning to deal with the impact of the short-term vacation rental market, primarily through online sites such as Airbnb, VRBO and HomeAway owned by Expedia.
The Richmond Planning Board will hold a public hearing on the proposal at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday in Town Hall, 1529 State Road (Route 41). The amendment to the zoning bylaws would require a two-thirds vote in favor at the annual town meeting at 7:30 p.m. May 16 in Richmond Consolidated School, 1831 State Road.
"We were asked by the selectmen to look at this," said John Hanson, a Planning Board member and former chairman who will preside at the public meeting. He noted a request from residents of View Drive to look into an especially active short-term rental dwelling in their neighborhood.
Hanson also cited proposed legislation working its way toward a state House and Senate conference committee on Beacon Hill. "We wanted to be prepared for when that law comes out," he said.
The zoning bylaw revision, if adopted, would apply only to the short-term rental, one to 30 nights, of a house, rooms within a dwelling, or rental of an accessory structure or rooms within it by an absentee owner not residing at the site or an investor-owner.
If operated as the principal use of a house — and the owner is not living there — a short-term rental is being run as a business, Hanson said. Thus, it would require a special permit from the Zoning Board of Appeals.
According to the proposal, the by-right rental of rooms by a resident family, known as an accessory use and currently allowed in all zoning districts, would continue unchanged. The right to operate a bed-and-breakfast through a special permit from the ZBA also would not be affected by the proposed zoning revision.
The bylaw amendment would require the following:
- The short-term rental business operated by a nonresident or investor-owner must pass a safety inspection by the buildings inspector and comply with all town regulations and bylaws, as well as state laws, including health and safety rules.
- As outlined in the current bylaw covering B&B's, the town's Zoning Board of Appeals would have to determine that the lot size, buildings, structures, off-street parking and other facilities and equipment are adequate for the proposed short-term rental use, and that the operation of the business would not be detrimental to the neighborhood.
The Planning Board felt that short-term rentals are a new activity being run as a business in a residential district, Hanson pointed out. Since the town has no businesses in residential areas, he added, "we felt that the neighborhood needed to have some input on the magnitude of what's being proposed. That's why a special permit would be required, based on size of rental, and other kinds of requirements."
Richmond has a very small commercial zone, but the town's principal businesses, Bartlett's Orchard and Hilltop Orchards & Furnace Brook Winery, are in the residential-agricultural zone.
"We encourage as much as possible the maintenance of the agricultural businesses we have," Hanson said. "We want to see the farms stay in business."

Planning in the Face of Power
University of California Press, Dec 21, 1988 - Social Science - 264 pages
Why do our best-laid plans often over-reach and under-achieve? Why do our attempts to solve problems in some rational way often run afoul of politics and power? Why do we so often accomplish so little, even as we sense that so much more is possible? By looking closely at the work of city planners, Planning in the Face of Power addresses these questions and provides a new way of thinking about the practical and inevitably political work of improving our neighborhoods, schools, community organizations, and the public institutions that shape our lives.
Power and inequality are realities that planners of all kinds must face in the practical world. In Planning in the Face of Power, John Forester argues that effective, public-serving planners can overcome the traditional—but paralyzing—dichotomies of being either professional or political, detached and distantly rational or engaged and change-oriented. Because inequalities of power directly structure planning practice, planners who are blind to relations of power will inevitably fail. Forester shows how, in the face of the conflict-ridden demands of practice, planners can think politically and rationally at the same time, avoid common sources of failure, and work to advance both a vision of the broader public good and the interests of the least powerful members of society.
This book provides a systematic reformulation of the politics of professional practice in the arena of city planning, public policy making, and public administration and management. It has immediate implications for the study of administration and management and for students of administration and planning in schools of social work, education, and public health. While focusing concretely on problems of planning practice (e.g. planners' sources of influence, their difficulties of listening critically, their understandings of the politics of organizations), Planning in the Face of Power brings to bear a wide range of theoretical insights and so integrates social and political theory with the demands of actual practice. Accordingly, the book will be important to practitioners who seek to understand the pressures they face at work as well as social theorists who wish to integrate theory and practice more powerfully, but will also appeal to the general reader interested in gaining an understanding of the practice of planning in the face of the realities of social equality and power.

For the squash:
Preheat the oven to 350°
Trim both ends off of the squash. Cut it in half lengthwise, coat both sides with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place the squash cut side down on a piece of parchment paper on a sheet tray.
Bake for 45 minutes, remove from the oven, and let cool slightly for 10-20 minutes.
Just before pouring the sauce over, use a fork to pull or rake the flesh, separating it into strands. Make sure not to puncture the shell and to leave some flesh still attached all the way around to prevent the sauce from leaking out.
Mac and Cheese Sauce
- 1 Tbs butter
- 1 Tbs flour
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 tsp turmeric
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp mustard powder
- 1 Tbs sour cream
- 1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, shredded
- salt and pepper (make sure to use a little more of both than you think you need!)
- 1 Tbs water
In a small saucepan, melt the butter and then whisk in the flour. Stir frequently for 3-5 minutes on a very low heat. You want to have no lumps and smell a kind of gentle, nutty aroma. Add the mustard powder, turmeric, and paprika and stir. Add the milk, and whisk to combine. Stir frequently while the sauce thickens. Let the sauce get fairly thick; you want a sauce that will hold together in the squash halves. Stir in the sour cream and mix well. Add both cheeses and melt. Season with salt and pepper. At the end, when you have a nice and thick sauce, stir in 1 Tbs water. It will loosen the sauce a little and give it a shiny gloss.
Baked "Mac and Cheese" Spaghetti Squash
- Prepared Squash
- Mac and Cheese Sauce
- Salt
- Pepper
- 1/2 cup parmesan, shredded or grated
- 1 bunch chives, chopped
Preheat the oven to 475°
Take the squash that you already have prepared and sprinkle it with a little salt and pepper. Pour the sauce over the squash. Sprinkle the top with the parmesan cheese. Put in the oven for about 15 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbling. Sprinkle with chives, dig in, and enjoy!

This short story was published by Our Stories Literary Journal in 2010. It was selected as the winner of the journal's Emerging Writer Award for that year, and seems appropriate in light of the events we have witnessed in the last week. Many challenges still face us as a people, and on days like these last few, they seem unbeatable. Sometimes, we have to look back where we were to see how far we've come. This piece is not one that can be read lightly or without consideration, but again, it seems timely. Perspective is a powerful thing.
I met a traveler from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert . . . Near them, on the sand
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.
Percy Byshe Shelley 1817
The mid-day heat held everything on the farm in its iron grip. Even the air felt as if a giant hand held it in place. The sun's glare reflected back from the cracked windshield of a rusty Wyllis jeep that had carried US troops from Normandy to Berlin. Now it carried dust and fertilizer. It sat in the hot sand where the driveway curved around the house and emptied into the backyard.
Waves of heat shimmered up toward the cloudless sky from the tin roofs of the house and barn. Faded yellow curtains hung limply in windows left open in hopes of catching a breeze. A single fan creaked and shuddered in the window beside the back porch.
The house and the paddock had both been painted white once, and many years ago the shutters on the house had probably been green, but decades of summer days and years of windblown dust had worn everything to a flat, dingy gray. The paddock fence drooped in the sun's glare. Most of the paint had chipped off, and the rails were warped and split. Several sections of the top rail were worn smooth from generations of mens' and boys' backsides resting on them.
No grass grew in the paddock or anywhere else in the back yard of the house; the dirt was packed too hard from years of foot traffic. But, several live oaks were scattered about, and they formed a boundary between the yard and the fields that stretched out in every direction.
Just as they had been doing for hundreds of years, the oaks offered their invitation to anyone who had the time to sit and rest in their shade. They gave shelter from the sun to animals while they napped and children while they played. The oak trees' whispered lullabies had sung five generations of children to sleep on hot summer nights when curtains flapped in the breeze through the open windows of the house. The oaks had hidden the terrified first kisses and timid embraces of those same children when they became teenagers, and countless declarations of enduring love had been carved into their trunks.
They had seen the house built. The first automobile on the farm had been parked under their branches. They had seen babies born and watched them die old men and women. Five generations of husbands and fathers had stood under one or another of the oaks and deemed himself master of all he saw.
But the oaks did not whisper this day. No wind blew to give them a voice. The only movement came from the paddock, where a dozen sharecroppers watched a majestic black horse that had just arrived on the farm. The beast pranced around the paddock, daring anyone to enter his new domain. His size and power defied even the heat. Everything on the farm watched the massive animal.
Several dogs were dug in beneath a 1938 Studebaker that had last been driven during FDR's last year in office. It sat behind a dusty tractor, underneath a shed roof attached to the side of the barn. A rooster that had been holding court from the top of the car sat transfixed by the great black horse.
The animal stood twenty hands high and weighed at least fourteen hundred pounds. His tail moved like a bristly pendulum, chasing away the horseflies that buzzed all around him. He snorted and pawed the ground, hating the attention and telling all who could hear that no man could tame him.
Several of the sharecroppers had been sitting on the fence, but he had bitten them or knocked them down, and no one dared get too close.
"Y'all cain't show dat horse you scairt," the youngest of the sharecroppers told the group, strutting up to the fence.
The young man was six feet tall, and he was thick-chested with a narrow waist and long legs. His pants were too short, so that his ankles showed above the tops of his
boots. His skin was the color of coffee with not quite enough cream in it, and his hands were big and callused from a young lifetime of hard labor on the farm.
"Now y'all watch me, and I'll ride dat horse," he said. "You jus' gots to show hit who's boss."
"You'll ride dat horse to your grave," said a wizened old man, waggling his two remaining teeth with his tongue. He shifted the wad of snuff in his mouth from one cheek to the other, and used the back of his crooked, bony hand to wipe away the juice that ran down his unshaven chin. Then he wiped his hand on the back of his canvas britches and spat a stream of mahogany tobacco juice into the dust.
"Dat horse won't break nary a sweat throwin' you off, boy," he said and folded his arms across his bony chest as if the conversation were over.
"He sho nuff won't know you was there," said another of the men, slapping his knee and cackling loudly. All of the other men nodded their heads and murmured their agreement.
"I will too ride him," the young man boasted. "Come on over here, horse," he yelled across the fence.
"Das' a bad animal. I b'lieve I'd sweet-talk him, if'n I was you," said the young man's father. "You get broke up and cain't crop dat 'bacca, yo mama hurt you lot
wors'n what dat horse will, boy."
"I'll ride dat horse to the field when it come time to crop bacca. You jus' watch," the young man crowed as he strutted up and down in front of the fence.
"Come on horse," the young man yelled. "Come on and show me what you's made of!"
He climbed on the top rail of the fence and waved his arms. The horse stopped and looked at him, and his look seemed to ask if maybe the young man was crazy. The animal decided to find out, and moved towards the foolish looking man.
When the horse reached the fence, the young man sprang up like a ballerina and landed squarely on its back. Each hand gripped a handful of the horse's mane. The horse stood perfectly still for almost two full seconds before he became a raging fiend.
His hind legs flew out and up and then slammed back down again. He screamed his rage at being challenged by the man. His head flew violently back and forth. After just the second kick of the horse's powerful hind legs, the young man tumbled through the air, watching the oak trees and the barn and the house flip end over end. When he hit the ground, the young man gasped like he would never breathe again.
When he opened his eyes the horse towered above him, rearing up in triumph, about to crush his chest with huge front hooves, but the animal spun suddenly when one of the sharecroppers hit him in the rump with a tobacco stick. The horse leaped after the fleeing sharecropper, furious at having been stung so easily by a man. While the horse was chasing the culprit the young man's father and uncle dragged him clear of the enraged animal's reach. The horse pranced around the paddock, throwing out his chest and flinging his head from side to side, dancing a victory jig.
A short, thick sharecropper walked from the front of the barn to the paddock gate as the young man dusted himself off. He had dusky skin, and he wore a dirty red Brooklyn Dodgers cap. "Now you go and do lak yo daddy tole you, boy. You go be sweet to dat horse. You take dis here sugar cube, and you coax dat horse to your way, if'n you man enough."
"I'm man enough, awlright," the young man sulked. "But I ain't going back in wit' dat damn horse."
"Watch yo mouth, boy, and git out de way. Now you watch how a man do it." The bald sharecropper climbed the fence slowly and sat on the top rail, holding the sugar cube out with both hands.
"Come on here, boy. Come on blackie," the man cooed softly. "Come git dis sugar. Come git somethin' sweet, now. Come on, blackie boy. Calm down. Das right."
The horse pawed the ground and snorted and bobbed his head up and down. He trotted from the center of the paddock to the other side and back again, his eyes never leaving the man on the fence. Finally, the horse lowered his head and slowly moved toward the proffered sugar cube.
"Dere you go. Eat dat good sugar, blackie. You a good horse. See?"
As the horse took the sugar from his hand, the man slowly reached out with his other hand to stroke the horse's nose. But the horse wouldn't be tamed even that much. In a fit of disgust and anger he nipped the man's hand and pushed him off the fence, then whinnied his triumph over yet another man. The beast seemed to be laughing at the weakness of the men who had tried to break him. In fact, when the sound of laughter drifted across the yard, each of the sharecroppers thought just for a moment that the horse was laughing at them.
Then they realized that the laughter was coming from the screened in back porch of the house. It was the Man. He had been watching and listening since he'd finished his dinner, and he was laughing along with the horse at their puny efforts to tame the great beast.
The Man completely filled the doorframe as he pushed his way past the porch's screened door. It slapped shut behind him, and he paused on the top step for a moment to consider his domain. The cigarette burning between his fingers looked like a tiny twig in his huge hand. His other hand worked a toothpick in and out of his mouth like a tailor's hand working a needle and thread in and out of a piece of fine cloth.
Sweat glistened on his balding head as he stood on the steps, and his sleeves were stained dark beneath his arms. Thick, black chest hair spilled out of his unbuttoned shirt. His skin was hard and burnished a deep reddish brown. He took a final drag from his cigarette and blew the smoke out of both nostrils before flicking the butt out into the yard and descending the steps. The Man moved across the yard with the speed and grace of a lynx and the pent up power of a bull.
"Jesus Christ," he said. "Can't you bastards do anything without my help? Why the hell are you worrying my horse, anyway? Can't y'all even ride a damn horse?"
"Yes suh, Boss, but cain't nobody ride dis here horse. He a demon," said the bald headed sharecropper, holding his injured hand out for the Man to see.
"Somebody oughta shoot dat horse, if'n you aks me," the subdued young man muttered.
"You ought to watch your mouth and leave my damn horse alone if you can't handle him," the Man said as he approached the group of men. They all stepped back to make room for him when he reached the paddock. He put his hand on the weathered fence rail and planted his feet.
"Get your black ass over here, mule!" His voice rolled across the paddock like thunder and carried out over the fields.
"Don't make me wait all day. I'll drag your ass over here if I have to! Come on, dammit!"
"He a mean one, now, Boss. You best be careful wit him. You'se a big man, but he throw you, sho nuff," the wizened old sharecropper said, wiping sweat from his white hair with a filthy handkerchief. "He a mean one, awlright."
"Go to hell," the Man muttered. "He's my damn horse in my damn barn eating my damn food, and I'll ride him whenever the hell I feel like it.
"Now come here, you black bastard," he bellowed.
The horse pranced and whickered nervously, sizing up this new threat to his dominance. His tail flipped back and forth.
"Don't you go in dat fence, Boss. You let dat horse alone," the old man said again, as the Man threw his thick leg over the fence.
"Damn that horse," he said to the old sharecropper. Then to the horse, "Well, by God, I'll come to you."
Man and beast locked eyes for a moment, then the Man strode forward with a concentrated purpose. Dust swirled up each time his foot struck the ground. His fists were clenched, and his eyes bored through the heat and the dust into the horse's eyes.
The horse snorted and threw his head up and down and back and forth. He pawed the ground with his front feet. His tail no longer moved; his entire attention was focused on the man moving towards him.
The Man drew up even with the horse.
The animal stood his ground.
The Man whipped his hand out suddenly and grabbed a handful of the horse's mane. In the same graceful movement he leapt off of the ground and onto the horse's back. As he landed with the horse between his knees he planted his heels in the horse's sides and grabbed a second handful of the animal's coarse mane.
"Now buck, mule," he yelled. "Buck, damn your soul!"
The horse was in violent motion almost instantly. He flung his hind legs up and out and threw his head toward the ground and then back at the sky. Every muscle in the horse's body strained to throw the hated man from his back.
"Yowwwww! You ride him, Boss," one sharecropper hollered.
"Break dat devil!"
"Ride 'im hard, Boss!"
"Whoooo look at 'im jump!"
"Dat man might jus ride dat horse!"
Then the horse bumped against the fence just as he threw his hind legs out and his head down. The Man had anticipated the buck, but not the contact with the fence. The bottom of his pant leg caught on the top rail, and he shifted his weight to that side as the horse's rump moved upward.
When the horse's hindquarters came down, the Man's knee cracked into the fence, and the sudden pain made him release his grip. When the horse's back hooves hit the ground, the Man cart wheeled into the air and landed on the fence. The sound of splintering wood told everyone who had won the first round.
"Damn you!" the Man bellowed as he crashed through the rails into the dirt. The impact was like a tree trunk hitting the ground after the final ax blow. Dust billowed up and swirled around everything.
"Oh lordy, dat horse done throwed the boss," the young man breathed. His brow was furrowed, and his mouth hung open in disbelief. The other men were silent, busily staring at the ground.
The Man, though, would not accept defeat, especially in front of his hired help. He jumped up like a giant, enraged jack-in-the-box before all of his body parts had hit the ground.
"Damn your soul to hell!" he thundered. "You sorry two bit mule! I'll ride you or I'll kill you one, you son-of-a-bitch! Get over here." The Man stepped across the broken pieces of fence back into the paddock.
The horse again stood his ground.
"Dat's enough, Boss," the white haired old sharecropper cautioned, leaning over the fence. "Either you gone kill dat horse, or dat horse gone kill you."
The Man ignored the warning. His eyes gripped the horse, and the horse stood in uneasy challenge. He reared his head and waited for the Man to try to mount him again.
Without breaking his stride the Man reached out and tried to grab a handful of the horse's mane again, but the horse was ready for him and moved quicker, whipping his head around and just nipping the Man's quickly retracted hand. The majestic animal whinnied and snorted his defiance.
The Man was silent as he snatched back his bleeding hand and stepped backwards, aligning himself face to face with the beast. His fist, driven by a tree trunk-like arm, slammed into the side of the horse's head. The animal stumbled sideways and sagged to its knees. Blood ran from one nostril. He shook his head back and forth, as if trying to turn the world right side up again.
"I tole you you'd kill dat horse," the old sharecropper moaned around the wad of tobacco in his cheek. "You done gone and killed dat purty horse. I tole you to let him be."
The young man who had been thrown stood preening. "I knowed he could be broked," he crowed. "I jus' needed a few mo' seconds to get my grip right, and I'd a whipped him, too. Jus lak the boss done. I almos' had 'im. Dat horse got what was coming to 'im."
No one paid the young man any attention; they all watched three of the sharecroppers rush into the paddock and stand on either side of the fallen animal.
"You'se a hard man, Boss," one of them said quietly, watching the horse throw its head back and forth in confusion. "But you is de boss, and you always gets yo way. I reckon he know dat now."
One of the other two men in the paddock had pulled out his handkerchief and was trying to wipe away the blood that dripped from the horse's nose, but the angry beast bit the man's hand. The sound of breaking bone came almost simultaneously with the man's scream.
"Damn dat devil," the injured sharecropper yelled. "Dat animal ain't nothin' but a big black demon!" He ran out of the paddock and sat in the dirt moaning and cradling his damaged hand.
"Well don't just stand there looking stupid; get him some damn help," the Man barked. "Take him in the house and call the doctor. Get him fixed up. The rest of you get on back to work. I told y'all you weren't man enough to ride my horse. Now get on back to work like I told you to."
While he was talking, he used one hand to grab the horse's mane and the other to slap the its side. "Get up, you damn mule," he said roughly. "I feel like taking a ride."
The horse got to his feet, and the Man led him over to the fence where the sharecroppers stared and shook their heads in awe.
"Now y'all watch how it's done," the Man said
He put one foot on the lower fence rail and threw his other leg across the horse's back. The animal stood patiently while the Man settled himself and grabbed a handful of its mane. "Now you boys get on back to work like I told you," he said again as he rode bare-back out of the paddock.
As the horse and its master passed through the tree line a breeze sprang up and relieved the searing heat.
High up in their branches, the oak trees laughed.

In the field of medical science, life is on the line; for this reason to be a competent staff is one highly important requirement. This is why each and every CNA aspirant needs to enrol in a training curriculum beforehand.
Technical and practical skills are the goals of this training curriculum. Any particular state possesses a different training hours prerequisite, and 75 hours minimum is required in Nevada. Medical terms, Nutrition, Body Mechanics, Blood testing, and Anatomy are basic topics that will be taught to students during the proper training. Upon graduation, typical skills commanded from you inside the workplace are vital signs checking, patients feeding and moving, and paperwork.
However, if you want an easier route, classes online are also available for you. With our technology being very fast-paced, all kinds of information and services can be readily found there, CNA training schools not being exempted. Online, you are provided a learning environment where you have the room all for your own. You can still even go to work while taking your classes, and meeting obligations while doing so.
Despite spending money on tuition fees for the training courses, there are ways that may help you spend less. You can ask assistance from the military since they have been recognized to offer financial aid those of you that are in need. You may ask through your city government, because just like in Las Vegas, financial help is provided to capable individuals. The same is observed in Las Vegas.
The training curriculum being wearying and vital, it is just proper to take it sincerely. Bust your tail and start growing your CNA career through this training. Few are fortunate enough to become CNAs, so do great and earn your spot. Today is the time to get going, so take a leap now.Author: Paula Shelton

Utterly Butterly!
Following on from the visit to the Godwin farm, the children in the Senior room made butter in response to a unit of work on milk, pasteurisation and milk products. Making butter by hand uses a lot of our energy. Through the years, companies came up with a new way of making butter that uses electricial energy. This is a much more efficient way of making the butter.
Their verdict on the home made butter: DELICIOUS!!!
